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.
Keith, I have to make the comment again.
Sam Bushman, we didn't send Sam any particular songs we want to play tonight.
Sometimes we do.
He's knocking it out of the park with these guys.
I mean, he is nothing but the best tonight.
Yeah, I agree totally.
Of course, you can depend on Sam.
There's no doubt about that when it comes to good Christian and Christmas music and stuff like that.
He's the gold standard.
Hey, I'll tell you what, he's the gold standard more than that.
He's the gold standard when it comes to a husband and a father with his eight children and his radio show.
You like the political cesspool.
Look at the guests Sam's had on and just, well, all time, certainly, but the last month, especially.
Oh, incredible lineup of guests at Liberty Roundtable, LibertyRoundtable.com.
Sam's on the air Monday through Saturday.
I mean, this guy is an animal.
And he comes back every day.
You know, he's like a Time X watch, takes a lick and keeps on ticking.
Every day is good or better than the last one.
He's an incredible guy, an incredible guy to work with, an incredible radio host, incredible all the way around, especially at Christmas time.
You know, you hold your brothers a little bit closer at Christmas time.
And of course, we're always thankful for Sam and all of his work.
I tell you what, I'm thankful for Paul Nalen, too.
Paul really did have a Saul on the road to Damascus moment regarding the Jewish question.
And it was just a joy to listen to that.
I mean, you don't hear that type of candor very often on the radio.
Especially from a guy who has made it big in business.
I mean, this is a Fortune 500 elite guy, eight patents.
I mean, he is a very, you know, he's done well in life.
God has richly blessed him.
And I appreciate the fact that he shares his faith.
And look at what he said.
Look at what he said in that last segment.
He was very earnest.
He was very forthright.
But he said, yes, we should welcome Jews into our churches who are earnestly seeking Christ.
He doesn't have a problem with that.
Nor do we if they're earnestly seeking Christ.
But the point is that we were talking about this book.
So he wrote this book.
And then he began to notice that all of the people attacking him and attacking his campaign against Paul Ryan had something in common.
So being a smart guy and a successful guy that he is, he began to put two and two together.
And he had an awakening saying, hey, there's a common denominator.
A lot of the people that are opposing my ideas that would make America great, that oppose my faith, that are attacking me so viciously.
And supporting comments like the TPP.
And then you've got WorldNet Daily, who was his publisher, saying, hey, you can't objectively criticize these people.
You can't do anything except lavish praise upon them.
If you say anything, we were talking about this break.
How do we put it?
Well, another southernism would be, I remember my relatives used to say, that's when he stopped preaching and started meddling in the idea in the mind of Joseph Farah and the people at WorldNet Daily, and they pulled the rug out from under and he was even saying, hey, I want these people to become Christians, but that doesn't mean that I have to only say flattering things about them.
We can have an open debate and we can objectively criticize people that we think are going in the wrong direction.
That doesn't make one anti-Semitic.
And, you know, his Christian lens on this is acutely focused.
He realizes, see, what we used to learn in Sunday school was the church is Israel.
You were taught that when you're reading the Old Testament and you're reading what's going on, how do you interpret that?
Well, today the church is the repository.
The Christian church is the repository of the true faith.
The true faith went to Jesus, the branch of Jesse.
That's what happened.
And after the coming of Jesus, and the Jews that did not follow Jesus are just as lost as a hot and tot, as they used to say back in the old days.
And see, and the part of the Bible in the New Testament that really addresses this is in the book of Matthew about the wedding guest.
You know, the wedding feast where the wealthy man's son is going to be married and he sends out invitations to the select, and they ignore them at first.
And then he sends out his servants to basically get them one-on-one and to get them to come.
And they put his servants to death.
Guess what, folks?
That's the parable about the message of Christ going first to the Jews who rejected it.
And then he opens it up.
He opens up the wedding feast to all who wish to come.
Well, and that's another point that Nalen made.
You know, when talking with World Net Daily, he's saying, hey, you're going to not.
They'd already published and printed the books, as he mentioned, but they were not going to offer them for sale.
They were going to completely get rid of them.
Now, he brokered an agreement to where he could buy all of the rights and all of the copies of them.
And it's an old-fashioned book burning.
They're always saying the Nazis did this.
Well, they were proposing to do the same thing to Paul and Jesus.
And as he pointed out, he said, you know, you are going to not release my book for sale in order to placate the people who stand against everything that you purport to stand for while throwing out and disavowing a man who is a fellow Christian, like the people at World Net Daily claim to be, and who, in fact, stands for and is a champion for everything that you believe.
They would have rather gotten into bed with the enemy of everything that they advocate for at World Net Daily than publish this book by the very Christian Paul Nalen because the Jews in the media attacked him.
And you know what it comes down to?
It comes down to two pithy old southern sayings.
Okay.
First one is money talks and BS walks.
That's why you find so many of these fundamentalist Christians never saying a discouraging word about Jews or about the state of Israel or about foreign policy in the Middle East.
That's one thing.
The other thing is when you have a man by a certain part of the anatomy, this is what Chuck Colson said after in the run-up to Watergate.
He said, when you have a man by a certain part of his anatomy, his heart and mind follow shortly thereafter.
That's what is happening.
This is the duplicity of so many Christian leaders nowadays, particularly of the fundamentalist variety, that they just are, you know, they just fall all over themselves.
They tell you that the Jews are still the chosen people.
No, they're not.
The chosen people are Christians.
And that can also include people of Jewish descent if they convert to Christianity.
Yeah, basically anybody, from a hot and tot to a, you know Jewish person or uh, you know, whatever your uh ethnicity and race is.
If you are a Christian, if you accept Christ as your lord and savior, you are one of the chosen.
You're the new chosen people.
This is where the branch of the um?
Uh, true religion went.
It was the Jewish people until the coming of Christ and with the coming of Christ, it became Christians And, of course, you know, throughout history, Europe was known as Christendom.
We talk about that a lot.
But here's the point.
The point.
The point is.
That's really important.
Now, Christendom is an alternative name for Europe.
You can't get this book through WorldNet Daily, even though they published it and printed it.
But you can get it through the political SAS poll.
Paul Nalen, our good friend, has given us quite a quantity of these books.
We want you to have them.
They are all autographed by Paul.
If you'd like to interview, if the book sounded interesting, $100 or more before the end of the month and you can get it, why don't you go ahead and do that during the commercial break at our website?
We'll get this out to you before Christmas.
Money wise.
Scott Bradley here.
Most Americans are painfully aware that the nation is on the wrong track and in dire straits.
Unfortunately, most political pundits only nibble around the edges when they claim to address the issues.
Even worse, many of the so-called solutions are simply rewarmed servings of what got us into the mess we currently face.
And the politicians think we're so gullible and naive that we'll buy their lies that they have reformed and now understand where they led us astray.
Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is that they simply wish to continue to hold power.
The solution to America's challenges is found in returning to the timeless principles found in the United States Constitution.
My book and lecture series will reawaken in Americans an understanding and love of the principles which made this nation the freest, most prosperous, happiest, and most respected nation on earth.
Visit topreservethenation.com and order my book and lectures to begin the restoration of this great nation.
Okay, girls, about finished with your lesson on money?
Daddy, what is a buy-sell spread for gold coins?
Well, when you sell a gold coin to a coin shop that's worth, say, $1,200, you don't actually get $1,200.
But don't worry, we're members of UPMA now, so we don't have to worry about that.
Daddy, why is somebody seal that gold?
We don't have any gold at the house.
It's stored safely in the UPMA vault, securely and insured.
But the S ⁇ P 500 outperformed gold.
Daddy, gold is a bad investment.
Some people do think of it that way, but actually, gold is money.
And as members of the United Precious Metals Association, we can use our gold at any store, just like a credit card.
Or I can ask them to drop it right into Mommy and Daddy's bank account because we're a UPMA member family.

Angels we have heard on I singing sweetly through the night.
Well, I'm hesitant to talk though I like this song so much.
I tell you, if Sam keeps playing all of these wonderful Christmas carols, I don't know what we're going to be playing next week.
Hopefully we don't run out.
We have really featured one after another tonight.
Now, these are, we love the fun songs.
These are the songs that really get to the heart of what Christmas is all about.
And next week.
We've got the voices of the singers and then the angelic voice of Paul Nalan tonight.
I'll tell you what.
And next week is our last song before Christmas.
We even had the Christmas party in Texas tonight.
I don't know how we're going to top this next week with the music and just the festive atmosphere, but we do have one more broadcast before Christmas, and that's going to be coming up one week from tonight.
And we'll share with you the Christmas story that evening from the gospel.
And I'm sure we'll have a great guest and more great commentary and analysis and opinion on the current issues.
But next week, last show before Christmas, then our year in review show, there are only two weeks left in our broadcasting year.
You've got us next Saturday and the Saturday after that.
And then the calendar flips.
And we're going to try to do it all over again so long as the audience support remains.
And by the way, remember, before we move on from this topic, if you want an autographed copy of Paul Nalen's book, and after hearing that interview in the second hour, I don't know how you couldn't.
You can't get them from World Net Daily.
They banned them.
But we have them.
And Paul sent them directly from his storage to our studio.
He hand-signed them all, repackaged them all, sent it down here on his own dime because he wants us to stay on the air.
And these books will make great Christmas gifts for yourself or a loved one.
Autographed by Paul.
$100 or more.
Go to thepolitical cesspool.org, folks.
We need your help.
We have been delayed in sending out our snail mail this month, as we talked about last week, because of the death of Bush and a couple of other factors.
The post office was closed, but they are finally out there, and we need your response, and we need it pretty quickly.
Two weeks left, and we've got to make the budget.
So $100 or more there.
You're going to get this book.
Help us help you.
Stand with us today so we can remain at your side tomorrow, as I say.
But let's now go to a caller, Tom, south of the Mason-Dixon line, which is, well, we like folks south of the Mason-Dixon line, don't we, Keith?
That's what we are.
All right, go, Tom.
Just wanted to say that, you know, I've been meaning to call you, meaning to call you, but I'm one of your original 14-year listeners.
Well, God bless you.
My goodness.
Yeah, it's amazing, isn't it?
How I had found out about you was I had had major surgery in the spring of 2004, and I was laid up.
And I had an IBM computer.
I had a real nice IBM computer, and I had nothing to do but play with my computer.
So I saw this, somebody mentioned something about this political cesspool out of Memphis.
And it was just, they said something Confederate.
I thought, oh, I'm going to have to see what these guys are doing, you know.
So I checked you out, and I've been a listener ever since.
Now, where you guys would drive me nuts is when you kept changing it.
Early days, you changed media players, you know, more often than some people change their socks, you know.
Well, we were trying to find the right fit, Tom.
What can I say?
It was tough, you know, and but finally, you guys did.
You got together with CM, and it's been all good since then.
But I know the one media player you had, I couldn't get it to work.
You know, I'm a slotch with computers, and I mean, I couldn't get that damn thing to work for nothing.
So I remembered that one of your fellows was an old Navy electronics guy.
Yeah, that was Art Frith, our producer at the time.
You know, I bet that's so.
I got this acquaintance of mine who was a Croast Guard electronics guy, and he got it together.
He figured out how to get that media player working for me.
Well, I'm glad that between the three of them, we could get you fixed so you could stay tuned.
And I tell you what, and I mean this in all sincerity, you have absolutely made my week.
I would say my night, but that would be an understatement.
Made my week.
You have been with us.
You are one of those people who have been with us 14 years.
And there are some of those people out there.
It's like trying to find a World War II veteran now.
World War I veteran.
Well, I think they're all gone, aren't they?
I've always enjoyed listening to you guys.
It's been sort of like a nostalgia thing with me.
One of my best friends, you know, he was actually related to two Confederate brigadiers, you know, and he's dead now.
He's deceased.
And, you know, so much of the stuff that I heard from him, I hear from you guys.
And when I'm listening to the show, one of you will say something and I'll think, well, gee, you know, I've heard that before somewhere, you know.
And I think of him.
I think of other friends of mine, too, that were, you know, now, you know, now they're gone, but they were here once as live as you or Keith already, you know.
So let me say again.
But hey, it's been a lot.
It's really been fun.
I've just enjoyed the.
What a wild, crazy ride it's been, as the Grateful Dead used to say.
Well, you're a guy who spans the entire run, and we've picked up a lot along the way.
But those who were with us from the early days, I agree with you.
It was probably hard to stick with us in those first few months when we had our training wheels on, and we had to bounce around because the media was always changing.
And then we got hooked up with the professional network.
And I think that aspect of it has been a lot more smooth, although the arrows we have to endure have been a lot more intensive, obviously, as we've raised the profile.
But it all started with men like you.
And I mean that.
Thank you.
14 years having tuned into this show.
God bless you.
And Merry, Merry Christmas.
Well, it's been fun.
It's been fun for me, too.
Well, listen, you call anytime you want.
I would have said Paul Nalen was the highlight of the show, but I think this, you know, hearing from one of our listeners that goes back to the first year.
Yeah, sure.
You're there with the Wright brothers at Kitty Hall.
Well, you call back in anytime you want to, and you send us a letter, you send us an email, whatever you need, and send me your address.
We'll send you a whole bunch of swag.
Okay.
Merry Christmas.
All right.
Merry Christmas to you on the call.
Happy New Year.
Many happy returns.
Yeah, we hope he's still around in 14 more years, don't we, Keith?
Yeah, just keep on spreading the good news, the gospel of the political cesspool.
I hope so, too.
All right, my friend.
Thank you for the call.
Good night.
Merry Christmas.
Well, 14 years, Keith.
He predates you.
Yeah, really.
About a cup about a year or two.
That's probably longer than 50% of the marriages in America.
I mean, we're laughing and we're having a good time because we're friends and we're brothers and we share in the struggle together, but we also love each other.
And I hope that comes across in our broadcast, ladies and gentlemen.
That the people who work on this show together every week, week in, week out-me, Keith, Eddie, Sam, the rest of the crew, Jack, of course.
Those are passed on like Bill Rowland.
Sure.
And the other people part of our extended crew, like Winston and Jim Lancia and Art and Sean Bergen, of course, Scoop Stan.
Scoop.
We all love each other.
And I hope that that comes across on the radio because I believe that that's important.
We need to be working together and loving one another and supporting one another, sharing in the good times and the bad times.
There's plenty of bad times to go around, but you can offer, you can foster this sense of community.
You can have a laugh.
You can have a good time and enjoy one another's company.
And we have that.
We have that with our listeners who just called in.
We're fighting not enemies of flesh and blood, but powers and principalities.
And without that kinship bond, there's no way we could have continued to keep this thing on track.
Well, guys, like that, 14 years.
I mean, what's it like for you to hear from a guy like that, Keith?
I mean, it's incredible.
I mean, you know, I'll tell you the truth, he was involved with this station and this program before I was.
And that's saying something.
You've been, what, 12 years in at least?
Exactly, yeah.
So I think I missed part of the rough times he was talking about at the beginning.
You know, when we first started out on the show, we didn't have internet streaming.
The first few broadcasts were just on the local AM station.
We didn't get internet streaming until about six months in, and it was a trial and error, as he remembers.
I tried to forget about that.
But we're a lot better now.
We'll be right back, folks.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
Do we reflect about our future and where we as a culture are moving?
Do we keep our trust in our jobs, homes, money, life necessities, investments, stock markets?
Do we believe that our 401ks or other retirements will always be there and that the current economic order will recover?
Is the economy going to recover and life return to normal?
It ain't going to happen by a friend of Medjagoria.
Whether you are poor, middle class, or rich, it ain't going to happen.
A book of astounding revelations about the present economic order and where we are heading.
It ain't going to happen by a friend of Medjagoria.
To order, visit medge.com, spelled NEJ.com, or call Caratos in the U.S. 205-672-2000.
Why don't we say to the government, writ large, that they have to spend a little bit less?
Anyone ever had less money this year than you had last?
Anyone have a 1% pay cut?
You deal with it.
That's what government needs: a 1% pay cut.
If you take a 1% pay cut across the board, you have more than enough money to actually pay for the disaster relief.
But nobody's going to do that because they're fiscally irresponsible.
Who are they?
Republicans.
Who are they?
Democrats.
Who are they?
Virtually the whole body is careless and reckless with your money.
So the money will not be offset by cuts anywhere.
The money will be added to the debt, and there will be a day of reckoning.
What's the day of reckoning?
The day of reckoning may well be the collapse of the stock market.
The day of reckoning may be the collapse of the dollar.
When it comes, I can't tell you exactly, but I can tell you it has happened repeatedly in history when countries ruin their currency.
Ladies and gentlemen, may I ask you, what is the KQ?
You know, the kosher question.
Most Americans will spend their entire lifetime purchasing food from the supermarkets while having no idea that almost every packaged food product on the grocery shelves is certified kosher.
Indeed, the kosher question encompasses not only food and religion, but also affects our economics, politics, and our identity.
In an effort to promote awareness to the kosher question, developers have published an app for your smartphone that features a database of food products that have not been kosher certified.
The KosherCertified app has prominent advertisement on PPC's homepage, or you can check out its website at thekosherQuestion.com.
With the cesspool of politics getting even deeper these days, why not leave the swamp and start eating in favor of your own interests?
Check out thekosherquestion.com today and download the app.
Welcome back.
To get on the show, call us on James's Dime at 1-866-986-6397.
It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious sun of old from angels bending near the earth to touch their hearts above.
This on the earth, goodwill to be made from land already.
All right, more good music.
Are we going to have enough for next week?
That actually is a serious question.
We are playing all of the standards tonight, and it's going to be hard to top the music you've heard tonight.
This is the stuff that will stir your spirit and bring it into a state where you can really embrace what this time of year is.
Well, we thought about doing stuff like, you know, rocking around the Christmas tree and stuff like that.
Well, we've done that the last couple of weeks, and those are fun stuff.
But on the other hand, as is often said, Christ is the reason for the season, and we never need to lose sight of that.
And that's in light of that observation, that's why we played the music we have this week.
Well, and all month, in fact, all month, and it has been a great show.
And each hour has had its own surprises.
We started off with Courtney from Alabama, and you can't go wrong with that.
She's another one of our, I call Courtney affectionately the mascot because she's always been there for us.
She's been around, and she's been a loyal listener of the show, and she comes to all of our events, and she's just a sweet young lady with a sweet family.
And then, of course, our friends at the Christmas party, then Paul Nalen.
I mean, you could just feel, I think, the brotherhood.
The last caller was just been a great show.
I mean, I think they're all great, but I think tonight the spirit is moving us with this time of year, and it's really just coming out.
It's pouring out.
Serendipity.
Over the radio.
It's serendipity.
So that's what's going on.
And I hope you've enjoyed it tonight.
And I hope that you will continue to enjoy it.
I was just actually texting with Paul Nalen, Paul, that said some people were asking him how they could get the book.
And so we will remind everybody that they can get the book through our website, thepoliticalaccessible.org.
We're asking $100 or more.
That triggers the incentive.
And it's an autographed copy.
I don't know if you can get these anywhere else, honestly.
It's certainly not autographed by Paul.
And it covers all of the issues that we talk about, really all of the issues.
And it takes you behind the scenes of that campaign, which was just so incredibly interesting.
I remember, of course, reading all about that from afar before I was put into contact with Paul.
And actually, how we got in contact with Paul was that he saw me on one of these YouTube live streams.
I was making a guest appearance of one of these, and he sent me an email.
And, of course, I knew who he was as soon as I read who the email was from.
He just said, you know, he loved the program.
And, of course, the rest is history.
So it's another something that could be said for putting yourself out there.
Things happen.
I mean, if I hadn't made that appearance, I wouldn't have gotten in touch with Paul Nalen.
And that may be, of course, the biggest thing that came as a result of that particular interview.
And we want to work with him more closely, and we want to work with our audience more closely.
Paul also shows the necessity of getting political power.
You know, we have people that just run because they want to get their name out there.
They want to, you know, make a splash, but they don't have any serious intention of winning the office.
Paul went after it.
He was in it to win it.
And that's what we've got to do.
We've got to start getting some political power.
There are too many people, quite frankly, that either give you part of the message, not the whole thing, or you have to wonder whether they think that their primary mission is to make money for themselves rather than actually empower the people who think the way we do.
We've got to empower those people.
We are in a life and death struggle, folks.
And, you know, genocide is not too extreme a word to use for what we're facing.
All right, Keith.
Now, when we come back, we are going to go to Jack Ryan.
Jack had the week off last week.
And we're going to see what Jack has to contribute tonight.
I actually had an email from a listener in Michigan saying, are we going to have Jack tonight?
Jack is back.
When you don't have a regular on, he is missed.
And certainly we missed Jack last week, but we worked Courtney in.
And sometimes we have to be flexible.
I will tell you this, you know, immediately following the political cesspool is Scoop's Stanton's show.
And we would, of course, ask for people to stay tuned for that immediately following us.
But immediately preceding us is Eddie the Bobby Miller show, which is why Eddie hasn't been in every third hour as he is accustomed to being.
We'll have Eddie back next week for the last show before Christmas.
But Scoop's show is, of course, 7.5 Radio.
He hosts it with Walter Yerku.
But immediately before our show, we have Eddie's Blood River Radio.
And Eddie had a live report tonight from South Africa.
Rich from Nashville, who's a good friend of our program, Rich actually called in last week to say he was going to South Africa.
Well, tomorrow is the anniversary of the Battle of Blood River, which is one of the most incredible miracles in all of.
And the reason that he named his program, Blood River.
That's right.
It's just one of the most miraculous military victories that you could ever read about.
And tomorrow is that anniversary, and Rich and his wife are over there, and they're going to be calling in to our show to give us a full two-week accounting.
And he said, well, I'll just read, I'll just read some of the stuff he has seen over there.
Let me see if I can pull up.
I get so many texts during a show.
He's saying he's going to send an outline of topics.
Too much to say.
He was driving through South Africa.
He says, like, driving through downtown Atlanta.
The gas stations are full service to keep the blacks from burning them down, stuff like that.
I mean, to have a guy from America go over there and give you a first-hand accounting.
Eddie had that on tonight.
It was absolutely riveting radio, enthralling radio.
I was tuned in to Eddie's show in the first hour tonight when he had that report on.
And we're going to have a similar report coming up, I believe, next week.
They're spending Christmas over there.
A couple of Southerners over there spending Christmas in South Africa.
So we're going to hear all about it.
But the point is, there's a lot of work that goes on collectively amongst our group.
TPC is obviously a big part of it, but it is by no means the only part.
We are always out there.
We are branched out.
And we're going to do a year-in-review show here, not next week, but the week after.
And we have a very interesting top 10 moments of our broadcasting year.
And so we look forward.
I was going back through the archives and through the blog, the website over the course a few days ago, and I was going back to the beginning of January and moving forward.
I said, wow, I forgot about that.
I forgot about that.
Oh, yeah, that happened.
So it's been a fantastic year of radio.
In some ways, our best ever with regard to, I think, the on-air content has just been, I think it's been the best ever.
And you grow or die.
And what's happening is, you know, we're having all these spin-offs from the show, and they're all making a name for themselves in the marketplace.
And hats off to all of our alumni.
Well, that's right.
That's right.
We have some spin-offs, and they're all doing good work.
And so it's just more great content here on the network.
And, of course, Sam Bushman's Liberty Roundtable Monday through Saturday.
You got to catch it.
They're having great guests.
A lot of work is being done out there.
And there is more work done behind the scenes than you could possibly, possibly know.
I mean, we're up past midnight on a very routine basis.
The work never ends with regards to the scheduling, the booking, content on the website, answering correspondence, fulfilling orders, booking guests, hosting the show itself, of course, travel, appearances, other interviews, conferences, meetings.
There is always something going on.
The three hours we spend on the radio are the easiest hours that we have in our lives.
You either grow or you die.
There's always some and we're growing and glowing, folks.
Well, that's for sure.
So anyway, just a little aside on some of the things going on that perhaps you weren't aware of or maybe needed to be reminded of.
There are other great shows on this network that you can tune into.
And so many friends that we share, a couple of whom got their start right here on TPC.
And are still part of TPC, too.
But Keith, we got about one minute before we take our last break of the night and go to Jack Ryan.
You got anything for us to fill that minute?
Well, I just want people to know, hang on tight.
It's going to be a bumpy ride.
Now that the Democrats have control of the House of Representatives, there will be an impeachment brought against Donald Trump.
As long as the Republicans don't, you know, show their colors and turn on him.
He should weather that storm.
But it is going to be a bumpy ride, folks.
They have in mind for Trump exactly what the Democrats did to Richard Nixon.
But we now have the Nixon and Watergate experience to draw on.
And as our Confederate forebears would say, we ain't scared.
We're going to ride to the sound of the guns and not away from them.
I don't think that Trump is going to wind up caving in and abdicating the way that Richard Nixon did.
But believe me, this is what the left has in mind.
They will not allow an outlier to be in charge of the United States of America.
They want their kept man or woman to be the one in charge.
And that's why you're seeing the intensity of effort that the left is bringing to bear on all authentic conservatives.
All right, Keith, we're going to hear what Jack has to say.
One more segment.
Stay tuned, folks.
Hey, listen up.
This is a deep state alert.
Former Texas Congressman Steve Stockman, who moved to arrest Lois Lerner for contempt of Congress, has been imprisoned by the very office that Lerner led.
You heard right.
Stockman hit the Obama administration hard and they hit back with the full force of the federal government.
The guy who said he wanted Mark Levin as Speaker of the House was the first to threaten Obama's impeachment, exposed Hillary's selling steel to the Iranians, and blocked both Obama's immigration and gun bills from even reaching the House.
But Obama holdovers came after him in federal court with trumped-up charges and have locked our guy up.
Like many others, he was on Obama's hit list.
Steve fought for us in Congress.
Now we need to fight for him.
Don't abandon this wounded hero on the battlefield.
Let's help cover his massive legal costs.
To chip in five bucks or more, text the word fight to 444-999.
That's fight, F-I-G-H-T to 444-999.
Or go to defendapatriot.com.
That's defendapatriot.com.
Anyone who challenges their control is deemed a sexist, a racist, a xenophobe, and morally deformed.
They will attack you.
They will slander you.
They will seek to destroy your career and your family.
They will seek to destroy everything about you, including your reputation.
They will lie, lie, lie.
And then again, they will do worse than that.
They will do whatever's necessary.
The Clintons are criminals.
Remember that.
They're criminals.
I'm going to open up our libel laws so when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money.
We're going to open up those libel laws.

Hitch up your end here.
Go straight to the ghetto.
Santa Claus.
Go straight to the ghetto.
Feel every stocking you find.
The kids are going to love you, so leave a door for Johnny.
Leave a door for Mary.
All right, now, if we're getting funky with James Brown, Santa Claus in the ghetto, we must have a correspondent on the air right now from Chicago.
Now, this is the guy who would know a little something about that particular song and what the singer was wanting.
The funk Meister himself, Jack in the Box.
Jack, Jack in the Box, Ryan.
That's right.
Hey, Jack, how are you?
We missed you last week.
I'm doing okay.
I'm doing okay, surviving.
And I'm in this bitter, cold Chicago and mean, cold winter, mean, cold women.
Some dying Confederate soldier must have put a curse on me and my one that the women in Chicago would be just mean, no fun, and stuff like that.
But otherwise, yeah, I'm doing okay.
And I like James Brown's Christmas song, Jake for the Ghetto.
It's one of my favorite one.
And I like James Brown, and I think it's a good Christmas song.
Well, how is Christmas in Chicago going for you, Jack?
Besides cold and lonely, it's rather bleak, to be honest.
This year is the 100th anniversary of the Bolshevik takeover of Russia.
My grandfather, I'm mostly Midwestern British wasps and stuff.
I had a grandfather who was a teenager when all the nasty stuff went in Russia and the Bolshevists took over.
My grandfather fought in the White Army and things like that.
So we're sort of getting a 100-year repeat.
The good, solid, patriot, Christian folks are not really doing that great.
In Chicago, we're sort of dispossessed, and things are looking a little bit rough.
But we're trying to hold on.
We're trying to do the best we can.
And I want to give my best to the people in other parts of the country, the mid-south, Tennessee, and Kentucky and things like that, where things are not that bad.
So we're not giving up, but no, things are rough, brutal, terrible crime, criminals, and anti-Christian communists.
It's brutal in Chicago.
It's terrible.
Well, just move down to the sun and the warmth of the south.
That's what you'll have to do, apparently, to get some words up there.
God bless.
And it could be alive in Tennessee.
Why did they ever leave?
And they're such good, good folks.
But my father always said that the bad things about Chicago North, it builds character.
Bad weather, bad roads, and political corruption.
It builds character.
That's why we're tough people.
This is not something stupid to say that, like, all these bad things are that.
Yeah, it could be in some good place.
But, you know, I give my best to everyone in our listeners in the mid-south and the south.
But we're getting out.
We're not giving in.
And even though things are terrible in Chicago, Murder and Mayhem, we're doing our best.
And we're promoting a good Christian, populist, conservative program for the political festival.
So, yeah, we're still here, but it's terrible.
Just make it Sweet Home Chicago, like the Blues Brothers said, right?
Oh, yeah.
Sweet Home Chicago.
We had good blues music.
We had lots.
That was one of my favorites.
I love blues music because Sweet Home Chicago.
But these blues, they're old guys.
There's not many young guys.
And now just rap take over.
And wow, that's the worst.
I don't even think that Satan Lucifer likes rap music.
I just feel it's like he created an old.
Even Satan would say you've gone a bridge too far with that.
You just, wow, it's just dreadful.
Rolling Stones are going to do a concert in Soldiers Field in Chicago.
I've been to there.
They've been in 1978.
But these guys are like 78 years old.
You know, so why, you know, why don't we have some young people doing some bracket rolling?
Whatever.
But I also want to send my Christian Christmas greetings to all of our listeners and enjoy some good music.
Don't get burnt out on the negativity of stuff.
Watch good movies, read good books, listen to the political cesspool, and we're going to get through it.
Hey, Jack, you know, you are a Renaissance man, always offering up intriguing suggestions with regards to insights.
Yeah, and insights, of course, and commentary, no doubt.
But you usually come equipped with recommendations for a book, a movie, a song, yes, indeed.
What would be some good Christmas movies for our people to watch here over the course of the next nine or ten days?
Okay, well, my movies are movies of the past because we're not getting any new Christmas movies.
So I just like the traditional Miracle on 34th Street about a patriotic one.
I think Macy's and Gimbal's Miracle on 34th Street about the Christmas and Santa Claus because our Hollywood industry is just dominating.
The kind of Christmas movies we get are Harvey Weinstein's The Angle Unchained or Bad Santa or some horrible thing like that.
At least like Good News is like one of the worst anti-Christian mafia guys in Hollywood, Harvey Weinstein, got taken down.
So he's not making any movies.
But I still think there aren't any good movies.
But there are plenty more to fill in where he used to be.
There's a lot to do with that live.
So my recommendation is Miracle on 34th.
34th.
That was my father's favorite Christmas movie, by the way, Jack.
Very good.
No, it's good.
Brings tears to my eye.
You can't go wrong with It's a Wonderful Life with James Stewart.
You can't overplay it and stuff like that, but Frank Coffin movies are so good.
It's a wonderful life.
It's so great.
It's been there.
But then get in the Hallmark channel.
I haven't really watched them now.
How's the Hallmark channel going this year?
Good stuff?
What do you say, James?
Hallmark channel's okay.
I mean, you know, it could be worse.
I like the Home Alone one and two movies.
Those are about as permanent as I get.
Sounds good.
Why didn't my book recommendation?
Okay, my book recommendation is obviously the standard Charles Dickens, a Christmas Carol.
I like Nicholas Nickleby, but Charles Dickens had a bad relation with Chicago because his brother, Augustus, was here.
He lost his wife in England and came in and had a mistress, and then his career didn't go drunk.
And then the relationship, the Chicago Tribune, turned on Charles Dickens because he said he abandoned the children of his one.
But you can't go wrong with the great works of Charles Dickens, the Christmas Carol, Nicholas Nickleby.
These are great works.
The families things might be messed up.
But yeah, go with the classics.
These are the ones.
So that's my recommendation.
I would recommend anybody that can get a hold of the original Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens Reed because it is a remarkable work of art.
Keith, you are another aficionado of Finer Film.
If you go over to Keith's house, he has a pretty substantial library, but they're all VHSs, which you don't see a lot of anymore.
But Keith will break out the VHS, and you can rock and roll with some good movies.
You and Jack could really sit down.
Jack needs to come to my house and look at the library.
I've got two floors of rooms that have nothing but VHS tapes up there.
I've got one of the few working VHS players in the state of Tennessee, probably, or in the United States.
And you can pick up all these tapes for like 25 cents at thrift stores and stuff like that.
So, you know, in fact, last night, guess what I was watching?
I was watching Darby O'Gill and the Little People, which was Walt Disney's love letter to the Irish.
It was really beautiful.
It had so much Irish folklore and so much, you know, history like Brian Barrew and people like this, you know, that people nowadays have no idea who they are.
And I know with the name Ryan, you've got to be a good Irishman.
How do you like Darby O'Gill and the Little People?
I confess I haven't actually watched that particular one.
But yeah, I've got some Irish connections and I was engaged to an Irish gal from, of all places, Manchester, England.
The Irish get they get all over the place.
But I would just comment, the Irish folklore is great and things like that.
But I got to caution our young men when they when they use the term the fighting Irish, it's not the men's football team at Notre Dame.
It's Irish women.
These women have a big to fight, you know, and you're like, look out.
You know, it's funny that in that movie, the romantic female love interest in it, Sean Connery plays the male, and a girl named Janet Monroe plays the girl Katie O'Gill.
And boy, she's a pepper pot, too.
I tell you what, I think that's true to life.
No, yeah.
I've never met a dull redhead.
But, you know, we want to tail these things in a good direction.
So I'd love to see your movies.
I'm going to be actually coming down to the South in four months of January.
South Carolina and North Carolina have got it one.
So I'm going to make the best of it.
Well, be sure to get in touch with me.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, no, I love this.
We'll come down together.
To Tennessee, like, it's got it, like, the best years of my life were in Tennessee.
It's a fantastic place.
Well, we have a train that goes from Chicago to Memphis and then on to New Orleans.
Well, what do you think he rides down here?
Yeah, I took the train.
It's great coming down.
If you have a sleeper car, it's good.
But going back was a nut.
I had to sit up and there was this mean black American conductor that wouldn't let me sit in an empty seat.
It was terrible.
But yeah, no, no, you got to get a sleeping car.
That's what you got to do.
Absolutely.
And Union Station.
I used to go with my family down to New Orleans all the time back when the kids were little.
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
Well, let's do it.
Let's do it.
But you guys can also come up.
Chicago is great.
Yeah, we could make a Confederate raid to Illinois.
It's been a while.
All right, Jack.
We love you.
We'll talk to you next week, last show before Christmas.
