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.
All right, everybody, welcome back to the third and final hour of this, our second show of 2019.
And our guests just so happen to be great friends, indeed family, as far as I'm concerned.
Rich and Janinese Hamlin, this husband and wife duo is going to pick up tonight where we left off last week by continuing the conversation about what it was like to spend a month with the St. Landers in South Africa.
So, you know, Rich Hamblin was on last week during the third hour, and he recapped what it was like to be there in South Africa for three weeks.
But I felt as though we left a little bit on the table.
I thought there was a little bit more we could have gotten out of that.
I mean, we filled the time as best we could.
But there was just so much that Americans in South Africa could witness and observe and report back to us that I thought we really needed to do one more week to do it justice.
And so not only did we have Rich back tonight, he's going to be coming on in a few minutes, but we have his wife on.
And I thought that would be wonderful to have a woman's perspective on what it was like to be in South Africa.
And so that's where we're going to start tonight with Janice Hamblin.
Janice, how are you?
Well, I have a cold, so kind of overlook that, please.
Otherwise, I'm fine.
Well, I'm glad to hear that.
I'm sorry for the cold, but I'm glad that you were able to soldier through it.
So, yeah, I mean, fantastic conversation with your husband and what a guy he is last week.
And so let's just pick up where we left off there, and then we'll get into some more of the intricacies of it all.
But what was it like for you?
Now, normally, if my wife wanted to go on vacation, it would be to a beach.
Y'all went to South Africa.
That's unique.
What was it like for you as a woman and as a wife to be in South Africa?
Where we stayed did have a pool.
So that helps.
Is that you realize how vast the land is.
Unless you've been out probably in the southwest in the United States, you don't really realize.
I mean, where we were, it was semi-arid, semi-desert, and the roads would stretch forever.
Before you'd even come to a crossroad or a house, you would see animals out in the fields.
And it's really weird.
You see monkeys on the side of the road, baboons.
You can see different kinds of antelope and stuff in the fields with the livestock.
So it was different.
It was.
So I guess that's different than driving around Nashville, which is your local community.
You don't see a baboon.
Well, I'm not going to get myself in trouble, but you don't see that kind of wildlife running around in the street in Nashville.
The closest place to get any kind of real shopping, like girls like to shop, is at least two and a half hours away or more.
Wow.
Okay, so.
And there are grocery stores.
It's like you go in there and it's like, there's not hardly any selection unless you're in a bigger town.
So it's a total, not only is it a world away, and I mean, literally, you're on the other side of the world, but it was nothing like the conveniences of living in an area like the Nashville metropolitan area.
I mean, it was a whole different experience.
No, it wasn't, but it was amazing how easy it was to adapt to it.
You know, the only reason I wanted to shop is because I wanted to get things for my grandkids.
But other than that, it's like, I kind of liked it.
It was laid back, quiet where we were.
You know, I mean, we were in a very secluded area.
So we did end up going to two different farms, and one of them was within, I think Richard told you last week, there were two farm murders nearby.
But, you know, it's very quiet.
Being out on the farms, I can see where some women might go bunkers because you have to travel over some pretty rough roads to get to a town for supplies and things.
You have to learn to be really self-reliant.
And so that was kind of neat.
I mean, they're still living what, you know, generations ago when they went out west did, you know, there's nobody else around.
You have to take care of yourself.
They're still doing it.
And so they're, you know, it's kind of a, in some places, it's kind of a lonely spot.
But they forge friendships with other people and they, you know, bind together.
And so.
Well, and you talk to them.
You talk to them.
And so woman to woman, you learn some things from the women there in South Africa.
And in fact, I know that you learned quite a bit from some of the from one of the farm wives there.
Tell us about that.
Yes.
Well, it was the first farm wife we went to.
When we got there, Richard had already told you there were fires there, so the husband was gone.
So we only fleetingly saw him.
He was a big guy, you know, tall, thin, and she's just this little tiny petite thing with five children at home.
But like, you know, some of the things she told us is that, like, they're the people that actually help them, the ones they pay to come in and help her in the house or her husband in the field, they are threatened to give information on the household.
And I think that's a real burden.
I mean, can you imagine having an employee that you know and people hate you that they are being threatened that if they don't tell them that they could end up dead too?
And I mean, that's kind of, you know, that's a little worrisome, you know.
Well, it's intimidating enough for me.
I mean, listen, I mean, I'll tell you, I travel a lot for my work here on this program, and so it's intimidating enough for me to live to leave my wife and children, who you know personally, here, even in the city of Memphis, by themselves while I'm going for a weekend.
I mean, I couldn't even imagine what it would be like to leave them in a place like South Africa.
You're talking about a petite woman with five children.
I couldn't imagine the distress.
Well, there was this one, that one farming wife, they actually use high-powered walkie-talkies.
There's three farms together that have kind of gotten together, and they all have walkie-talkies.
The wives know exactly where their husbands are at all times, you know, pretty much.
And if there's a problem, they would let each other know.
I mean, that's how they knew about the fires.
You know, he was down helping us and Simon, and he had to go to fix the flat tower, and then he had to hurry up and get out of there and go work on the fires.
So, but it was those walkie-talkies.
So, I mean, if she had a problem at home, I mean, that's the family that Richard had told you last week has been there for nine.
This is the ninth generation in that home.
And, um.
That's incredible.
That's truly incredible.
Yeah.
Most people here in the United States don't want this house the parents had.
So.
That's the truth.
Yeah.
And then she was also telling me, you know, this, the whole, the black culture is over there is so different than the white culture.
And I can't really go on that on radio.
I hear the music.
Hey, I'll tell you what.
Me and you'll talk about it when we're in person.
I'd love to hear it.
Hey, we're just getting started.
Our third and final hour of this, our second show of the year.
Rich and Janice Hamlin.
So they just spent three weeks in South Africa.
They were just back from South Africa last week when we had Richard, but we thought there was enough there to warrant a second to part two of this, and we're doing it right now with both of them.
Stay tuned.
Regrets?
Oh, we're all going to have them.
Doesn't matter who you are or what you do.
At some point, you're going to wish you'd done something differently.
You know, the woulda, coulda, shouldas.
But let me tell you a couple of things you'll never regret.
You'll never regret spending extra time talking to your teenager.
Trust me.
You'll never regret answering your three-year-old's question about where the water in the bathtub comes from.
And I've never seen anyone wish they hadn't sat in the kitchen laughing with their children and tell them goofy stories about when they were kids.
Yeah, sure.
We're all going to have regrets, but talking too much with our kids won't be one of them.
No matter what you talk about, love is what they'll hear.
A thought from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, visit us at Mormon.org.
I reinstated a policy first put in place by President Ronald Reagan, the Mexico City Policy.
I strongly supported the House of Representatives' pain-capable bill, which would end painful late-term abortions nationwide.
And I call upon the Senate to pass this important law and send it to my desk for signing.
We are protecting the sanctity of life and the family as the foundation of our society.
And most importantly of all, it is the gift of life itself.
That is why we march.
That is why we pray.
And that is why we declare that America's future will be filled with goodness, peace, joy, dignity, and life for every child of God.
As a parent, is receiving a faith-based, character-focused education for your children difficult to find?
Do you believe that godly principles should be a central component in your child's education?
Imagine a school where faith and integrity are at its center, where heritage and responsibility instill character.
For over 40 years, American Heritage School has been educating both hearts and minds, bringing out academic excellence.
This is the school where character and embracing the providence of a living God are fundamental, where students' national test scores average near the 90th percentile.
With American Heritage School's Advanced Distance Education Program, distance is no longer an issue.
With an accredited LDS-oriented curriculum from kindergarten through 12th grade, your children can attend from anywhere in the world.
American Heritage School will prepare your child for more than a job.
It will prepare them for life.

And now, back to tonight's show.
All right, folks.
So, as you know, for the last couple of weeks, we have been taking advantage of our good friends, the Hamblins, Rich and Janice, having visited South Africa for three weeks in December.
Now, we actually had Rich on in early December, immediately before their departure.
We had him on again midway through their trip, and then we had him on again, of course, last week, immediately after they returned home to give us all of the takeaways.
And it was a great hour of radio last week.
But I thought it would be also interesting to cover a little bit more this week with him and his wife.
So, we got Janice for one more segment, then we're going to get to Rich.
But, Janice, you said also that you have a sad story from a young girl who feels like a prisoner in her own home.
What can you tell us about that?
Well, I mean, when we flew into Johannesburg, I mean, it was amazing.
I mean, everybody has a six-foot with wire over their fence around their house.
And you go almost every place, and there are high fences.
And I met this little girl, had met her where we were staying, and then I saw her again at a restaurant in town and, you know, got talking to her and her mom and her little brother.
And they came from Cape Town, and she said that she actually feel like a prisoner in her own home because they have.
They have these walls.
I mean, they were a guest when I told her, I don't even lock my doors until nighttime or if I'm going to go away.
You know, that's just unheard of there.
I mean, they have walls over everything, electric wires, bobbed wire.
And, you know, you have to be really careful, especially in the bigger towns.
You know, you can't just freely walk around like you can here in some areas.
And so that was, you know, that was really sad to hear a little girl say that she felt like she was a prisoner.
And in light of that, of what you guys were talking about earlier, that either we're going to build that border wall, or that's exactly how we are going to be living in the next 20, 30 years with everybody having bars on their doors and high fences.
I mean, it's just, it's scary to think about that.
Well, it is, but it's also true.
And I am, you know, again, I can be proven wrong, but I am a glass of that full-type guy and investing in the dignity and ability and triumphant nature of our race that we're going to turn this thing around.
I think that we will.
And I guess we can all see what happens.
But, you know, Janice, speaking of earlier in the show, you were talking about there just a quick departure because I obviously want to talk about South Africa because it's so unique to have two local listeners, local meaning fellow southerners, who have gone to South Africa and to be able to take advantage of having the opportunity to have you on the show to talk about your experience over there is very unique for this listening audience.
But you were talking about earlier in the show, you were one, you and Rich have been to both of TPC's anniversary conferences.
We did one for the 10, we did one for the 13.
And you said, you know, we need to have women who are traditionalist and who are race realists, and we need to have women like that as part of the speaking panel.
You told me that once before.
What did you think of the second hour with Lacey Lynn?
Just a quick departure from South Africa, and then we'll get back to it.
I didn't get to hear a whole lot of it.
I was washing dishes.
All right, that's okay.
That's okay.
Say no more.
I'd like to say I did hear that her and her husband are in agreement on what she's doing and how they're living their life.
And that is so important.
More men need to step up and think that a wife staying home and taking care of the house and the children and them is more important than having more stuff.
And also, the whole thing about her saying she needs to stay that you need to network.
It's true.
I can remember staying home when my girls were little, that I had no outlet except for Sunday.
And you go bonkers, but there was no internet at that time or anything like that.
You go bonkers when you're just, you feel isolated.
And that's what women used to do.
They used to, you know, donate time, work on as volunteers.
And so I agree with that with her.
I did catch some important facts, you know.
Well, you, hey, hey, you were doing your duty.
You were cleaning, doing the dishes.
I mean, somebody's got to do them.
That's for sure.
I mean, I had to pull too much KP this week already with me being sick.
Somebody's got to pay off that South Africa adventure, that's for sure.
But anyway, hey, listen, no, all kidding aside, a true example of a husband and wife complimentary, the way God intended it to be Rich and Janice Hamlin.
Rich, you were over there with Rich Janice, is what I meant to say, in South Africa.
So before we get to, you know, if I was talking to Rich, I would say your better half.
I don't want to say before we get to your lesser half or your worst half, before we get to the old man, let's talk about a little bit more about South Africa.
We have three or four minutes before the break.
Any takeaways, any experiences that you had that you would like to impart upon the audience?
Well, I think that, first of all, before we judge them as a country, we need to learn some of their history.
And that's one thing that Richard has really, really bothered to look into.
And their history is so tied to like ours, except that we came in and there was actually Indians everywhere we landed.
There was only some small Aborigines there when they moved in.
Most of it, they didn't want to be there.
It was cold.
It was, you know, semi-desert.
So it wasn't really inhabitable for people used to living in the more tropical.
And they don't want to move.
They don't want to leave.
That's their land.
That would be like our Indians uprising and saying, you got to leave.
Well, where are we going to go?
And they're very hospitable people, very nice.
I mean, just like the first farmer that we stopped, we weren't supposed to stay the night there.
She finds out like about four o'clock that we're going to stay the night there at her house.
So she had to make more food.
She had to make accommodations for us to sleep.
I mean, if she did, it was no problem, nothing.
You know, let me just do it.
And, but that's how all of them were.
They were welcoming.
They were kind.
They were nice.
But they are a little stubborn at times.
But they're very nice people.
And for others to say that they as a group of white people deserve what they're getting is just basically cruel and heartless.
Thank God that there are people.
Yeah, I mean, you, Americans, like you and your husband, who is a man's man, and you both set examples of what the genders should be for our race.
And I really mean that you know how much I respect and appreciate y'all.
And for y'all to go over there and to take your vacation time and to take what I would imagine to be a substantial amount of money to go over there, it's been three weeks in South Africa.
Yes, Simon Roche is worth it.
Yes, the St. Landers are worth it.
But so few Americans have even given what y'all have given to those people, which is your time, your effort, your sympathy.
It's just a great example.
And it's, yeah, well, it's just been wonderful to have these last two weeks with y'all to talk about it.
Go, yeah, go.
I'm sorry.
I'll also say that's one thing I, one reason why I think Richard wants to, you know, likes being on your show is because this is giving them a voice that they're not going to get otherwise.
You know, these are real people.
They have real families.
They do real work and they employ people.
And their government wants to destroy it.
I mean, they, they, um, the first family that we were at, they actually loaned one of their workers money to buy a house.
How many of us have ever had our employer loan us money to buy a house?
Precious to you.
Yep.
So, you know, they actually, you know, they do things for their employees, employees.
So, oh, I hear the music again, and I'll hand the phone over to Richard.
Okay.
Well, thank you so much.
Hey, listen, I really mean it.
Thank you so much for coming on with us for a couple of seconds tonight to tell us your experience in South Africa from a woman's perspective and having talked to other women over there.
It's been fantastic.
We'll talk to Rich and we'll get on with the night.
Thank you so much.

Kosher, certified.
Put the two words together to get coach certified, which is spelled with an SEH instead of just SH.
It's the right way to spell this, the German way.
And they made it easier to trademark.
Now, did I tell you that the letters SCH still make the shh sound?
As in all those American food producers saying, shh, let's keep it really quiet that our product is kosher certified.
Think about it.
Nearly one century of kosher certification, and hardly anyone outside Exclusive Observers knows that most packaged food and kitchen products are literally certified by religious intermediaries.
Well, because you, consumer, are indirectly paying for this, the Coach Certified app is here to make kosher certification awareness an inclusive matter for people of all faiths and identities.
And it even boasts a unique database of products not kosher certified.
We call that NKC.
Start meming it.
It's fun.
NKC, not kosher certified.
Now, to confuse our audience even more, we put a question mark at the end of our name.
And that really sinced our trademark approval.
It relates to the website where you can begin your new shopping behavior, thekosherquestion.com.

Welcome back.
To get on the show, call us on James's Dime at 1-866-986-6397.
Well, it's been a really good show tonight, if I do say so myself.
This is our second show of 2019.
We talked a little bit about Trump's presidential address, the Knoxville Horror, commemorating, if you can commemorate such an unfortunate anniversary.
We did Lacey Nguyen, Janice Hamblin, and now Rich Hamlin back again for the second time in two weeks.
Rich, keep it up.
You'll be a co-host.
Thank you, James.
No problem.
It was great to have you back on.
I thought that we fell just short of getting to it all last week.
So I'm thankful that you and your wife were able to come on tonight, especially her with a female perspective, having gone over there and experienced that as you did.
It was really unique to be able to present that to the audience.
But getting back to what we want to talk to you about in this segment, we got one more segment with y'all.
And so last week we talked about just the whole experience of traveling to South Africa, where you stayed, where you were, the whole experience with regard to that, what you heard while you were there, the farm murders, the murder rate now versus when apartheid was in control of the government, the future, the people you spoke to, what they're expecting to come there in South Africa.
Now, all of that is what we spoke to Rich Hamilton about last week.
So if you missed it, go into our archives and go to last week's show, check it out.
What I wanted to talk to you about this week, Rich, what we left on the table last week was the economy, the economy over there.
Now, we talked about the declining standard of living, obviously, but the Chinese aspect of what's going on in South Africa is something that I certainly didn't know about.
And I'm reckoning that most of our audience wouldn't know about it as well.
That China is taking over South Africa just as it's taking over the rest of Africa.
You saw this firsthand.
What can you tell us about it?
Well, that's true.
Most Americans are unaware of the presence of the Chinese throughout Southern Africa.
You can catch snippets of it in the news.
For instance, I read last week that the Chinese are basically taking control of Kenya's major seaport because of the Kenyan failure to meet the loan agreement for the construction of a railroad.
So the Chinese are doing this all over Southern Africa.
They got bases from Sahara on down and to exploit the resources.
The Chinese are harsh masters.
If the blacks think they had it bad under white colonialism, wait till they get a taste of the Chinese version of it.
The Chinese, of course, are very ethnocentric and they're a very haughty people.
And they don't put up with any kind of garbage.
I'll tell you a story I heard was that, you know, typically if you go through a village in southern Africa, you'll pull up to a crossroads and all the little street urchins will come out and beg for candy or coins or all this kind of stuff.
And Westerners generally, you know, give them something.
Well, when the Chinese pull up, they'll backhand them and basically run them off.
I watched a video.
I watched a video showing a Chinese, I guess you can call it expatriates.
They're really a colonizer living down there.
And he was interviewing or talking to a black man about the state of the black man's country.
And he says, you know, he told him flat to his face, he says, you inherited a beautiful infrastructure here from when the British left.
And what have you done with it?
You know, in the last 30 years, it's just run into ruin.
What's wrong with you people?
And this black guy was actually, you know, he was not enjoying that conversation, but that gives you an idea of what's going on.
The Chinese have 13, count them 13 police stations throughout South Africa to protect the Chinese community that are down there exploiting the mineral resources and other things that are going on there.
I saw a tweet from the Chinese XM Bank just a couple of days ago pointing out to the South Africans that the 3.5 billion rand loan that the XM Bank has made to the utility, this is the electric utility, is coming due starting in June of this year, and it's supposed to be paid back over a period of 10 years.
And they pointed out that failure to meet any of the payments will result in default, which means they'll take over it.
The farm expropriations you hear about, the first major farm, which was a game farm in the northern part of the country, just so happens to sit on a large coal deposit.
So the Ronald Posta government was going to expropriate that land without compensation or at a value of one-fifth of what its market value actually was and basically turn it over to the Chinese.
Simon Roche told me, he said he saw some blueprints that were associated with this project, and he said he knew a little bit about blueprints.
And he says if that was a dime, it was $100,000 worth of work detailing these plants.
ESCOM right now is experiencing brownouts or rolling blackouts and claiming that they don't have any coal to run the electricity plants.
Well, the freighters have been spotted on a seaport on the eastern side of the country that are being loaded with coal for shipment to China.
The Ministry of Defense has just recently declared that area around that harbor a no-fly zone so people can't fly drones over there or airplanes or anything else to observe what's going on.
So it's just massive corruption down there with the ruling ANC party.
And Cyril Raliposa has a net worth of $450 million while the average black in South Africa is unemployed or underemployed and living in terrible housing.
The housing that the government provides for him now is inferior to what the apartheid government built for them.
So, I mean, there's a lot of friction across that.
But the population we're talking about, you know, has got a low IQ.
Of course, there's a bell curve involved, so the leaders are very smart.
But the bulk of the people there are operating at almost, you know, what would be classified as retarded over here.
And they're being jimmed up with very violent rhetoric songs like kill the boar and kill the white men.
And Judas Malima of the EFF has said we're going to cut the throat of whiteness.
And he's been on interviews saying, well, I'm not talking about killing all the white people, at least for now.
So, I mean, that's the kind of atmosphere, that's the kind of climate that's being created down there.
And in the meantime, the economy is just spiraling downward.
We were met at the airport in Johannesburg by a driver who was from Zimbabwe.
We stayed at this nice little boutique hotel.
I think I told you about it, and it was staffed all by Zimbabweans.
Well, he told me the economy is so bad in Zimbabwe, the former Rhodesia, where they expropriated the land and kicked the whites out and all this kind of stuff that the currency doesn't even circulate.
They transact exchanges in U.S. dollars.
So even, you know, and it's not to have any tie to the government, but that's the only means of exchange that the people use in Zimbabwe.
And, you know, so that gives you an indication of what happens when they're left to their own devices.
And they, you know, it's all this, you know, like this Wakanda jive is what I call it.
And that's basically what they're dealing with.
And the whites are having, you know, it's not a monolithic white population down there.
I think I told you, you know, there's a lot of divisions in there that are lingering over from the Anglo-Boer wars in the early 1900s.
And so it's, you know, it's like the white population here in the United States is by no means united, even in the face of such an enormous threat that's coming at them.
Although the normies over there are starting to wake up.
But there again, you've got the globalists and international money people and all this kind of people, the usual suspects that are pulling strings behind the scenes that are, you know, or manipulating facts on the ground to meet their own agenda.
Well, Rich, I can't thank you enough for tonight, for last week, for a couple of weeks ago, and a couple of weeks before that.
Collectively, this is four parts of four programs that we've had to get your take as an American, as a Southern, as a Confederate, having visited South Africa before, during, and after the fact, we have been able to tap into you and now tonight, your wife's perspective on that.
And I think the audience and certainly ourselves are better for that.
We're going to let you fly after this segment, but I do want to thank you again on a personal level for making yourself available that many times and from that many continents to educate our audience.
Final word to you, Rich, on what our people should do for our brothers in South Africa with only seconds remaining.
We should raise the awareness with our fellow citizens.
We should contact our elected representatives and try to bring this up to the front.
The U.S. government is aware of the situation in South Africa.
They're acutely aware of the presence of the Chinese down there, and I think they're working some things behind those scenes.
In fact, I would go so far as to speculate that Trump's tweet about the farm murders has something to do to maybe create a pretext for U.S. intervention in South Africa, not so much to help the white farmers as to keep the Chinese from taking control of the navigation lanes down there as well as the abundant natural resources down there.
And the other thing that we can do is support groups like the Sightlanders.
And you can go to their website, sitlangers.org, and make contributions so that they can continue to fund the travels of their chief spokesman, Simon Roche, who I believe is coming back to the United States for a short trip soon to meet with some of the government officials.
So they need money to keep them on the road as well as help with their fair for their steel defense plans.
Thank you, Rich.

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 SP 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.

Don't you know this country?
Girls still free.
Why not be finally come down to your old hometown, your Kentucky girls been awaiting patiently?
Why not be?
Why not be on a rainy day?
Why not be?
Hey, you know, we have, for the last three segments, for the entirety of this hour thus far, been talking to Rich and Denise Hamblin about their experience in South Africa.
But, you know, we had to reserve a little bit of time for Jack Ryan to talk about his experience in South Carolina.
And he is there tonight in the holy city.
Now, we talked about this briefly last week.
Charleston, South Carolina.
Charleston drips with southern culture, even still to this day.
Charleston, South Carolina, the Pineapple Fountain, Rainbow Row.
You can go and visit the Hunley, the CSS Hunley, the first submarine.
It was a Confederate submarine to sink an enemy vessel.
And not only was it the first Confederate submarine to do that, and the only, but it was the first submarine in the history of naval warfare to do that.
That is housed there in South Carolina.
There's so much Confederate history there in South Carolina, especially in Charleston.
Jack, how is South Carolina treating you tonight?
It's doing very good.
I'm having a better month than I've been two days in Charleston.
And the city is just booming.
The city and outlying areas, it's like it's booming in financially, financial services.
I wish it was a little more southern.
Fort Sumter is closed for something the government did.
And I'm like, well, they didn't close it during the Civil War when they were bombing it.
Like, why did they close it?
But I went to the Confederate History Museum.
It's a little bit smaller.
They had it.
But yeah, no, it's all right.
I'm doing good.
I'm being treated great.
And I'm doing much better than I did last year.
I'm getting to meet some locals.
So, yeah, things are going good for me.
So you got off of Hilton Head.
You got out of the tennis clubs, and you're not running into Ohio snowbirds.
You are running into actual southerners.
So I got to ask you, where are you staying in Charleston?
Because I've been there a few times and have had an exceedingly good time in each of my visits there.
And I've stayed at a couple of different places.
Where are you at tonight?
Well, I mean, or just give us the general, just give us the general vicinity, I guess, because we don't want to outsource.
Well, you know, I just don't know the city that well.
I found it from Google Maps and stuff.
I'm in long distance, walking distance from Meeting Street, King Street, and there comes downtown.
I'm not in North.
I'm not some suburb or something like that.
So it's coming in.
There's some rough areas, some scandalous-looking people.
And I've got houses that were like, it's like the Beverly Hillbillies.
They took the house on rails and then their house is like next to it.
And they got meeting halls and things like that.
But no, I think it's looking good.
And obviously the city is doing very, very well.
It's very prosperous.
Yeah, there's a lot of people from other places, but I'm doing well.
I was much more negative about transplants last year.
So I met on Hildenhead Island, I met a heterosexual married Episcopal Anglican priest that wasn't a communist.
I'm like, no way I could ever meet one of those guys in like Chicago.
He was a nice guy, intelligent.
So I think it's like I'm more open-minded to northern Pennsylvanian people.
You know, we want them to learn some southern history, get up maybe a southern accent.
But we're all one people.
We're kindred people.
It's like we don't hate the Russians or Ukrainians.
Want to kill them?
Let's welcome these people.
Yeah, we want them to learn our history, maybe learn some southern history and accents.
But so things are looking a lot better.
I'm being treated well.
It's good.
All right.
All right.
So as you winter in South Carolina as a Chicagoan, as a.
What is a person from Illinois?
Is that an Illinoisan or an Illini?
Don't call me that name.
Don't call me that four-letter name.
Don't call me that name.
I didn't call you.
I didn't call you a Yankee.
So, I mean, we're proof.
All right, so as a Midwesterner, you're down in South Carolina.
And this year is better than last year.
But before we continue, now you're in Charleston, so you are running into legitimate, authentic native-born Southerners better than last year when you stayed on the tennis court the whole time and ran into the snowbirds.
But Jack, I would be remiss if I didn't ask you for your recommendations tonight.
Now, we had a song from the Juds, so tell us about that and why you wanted that as your introduction.
Then we'll get into the book of the movie.
You know, Country Song, I didn't hate it.
And then it's me.
I'm available.
So they're like, some gal wants to get me.
I sort of like being a bachelor.
I like family smoke kids, but if I'm available, if some gal, you know, she wants to hunt me down, rope and tie and wrestle me and get me some Baptist church and force me to marry her.
Sure, I'm available.
So I like that song.
Why not me?
My book recommendation is Diary from Dixie, Mary Boykin Chicken.
It's something I read in college.
It's from a gal in South Carolina before and after the Civil War, just explained her experience.
And then it was quite good.
And my movie recommendation is A Little Colonel from 1935.
It's from Shirley Temple.
You got to go back to 1935 before we have any movies that are fair to the southern people.
But it's a good one.
It's a good one.
and it's about the South, and it depicts the white and black Southerners in a fair and honorable way.
They like each other.
And Shirley Temple is one of the child stars in our nation's history that growed up to be okay.
She ended up being a responsible woman.
She got married and things like that.
So that's my recommendation.
A little Colonel, Diary from Dixie is my book recommendation.
Well, let me give you a few recommendations, Jack, as I thank you for yours.
So I was in Charleston a couple of times.
I've been to Charleston a couple, three times.
And now the first time I was there was truly an unforgettable experience.
It was the last burial of a Confederate veteran.
And so they had found the CSS Hundley submarine, and they finally found it just a few years ago.
And they had the final burial for the crew of the Huntley, and they laid it in proper rest.
And it was Lieutenant George Dixon and his crewmates.
And I was there for that funeral.
And you're talking about over 10,000 people lining the streets, cheering, crying, yelling as the procession goes down downtown Charleston and singing Dixie.
And the band played Dixie.
And I was able to lay cedar.
I was able to lay cedar on the actual graves of these Confederate mariners.
What an experience.
But so I would encourage you to go visit the graves of the crew of the Hunley there.
You can actually visit the Hunley itself, which you can find in a museum there, the Hunley submarine.
But go visit the grave of the Hunley crew.
You can probably Google it and find out where they are.
But as far as restaurants go.
Okay.
Well, you mentioned Market Street a second ago.
Henry's.
Now, I named my son Henry.
I didn't name him after the restaurant, but there is actually a restaurant there called Henry's on the Market, and it's on North Market Street, Henry's, and it's at 54 North Market Street.
I remember eating there with Bob Whitaker before Bob Whitaker went on to his eternal reward, and I'm pretty sure I fell in love there.
You can do that easily in South Carolina.
But Henry's on the market, 54 North Market Street.
Why don't you go there, Jack, before you leave Charleston?
Henry's on the market, and take a picture for me and send it to me.
You can fix it to me.
I would love that.
Henry's on the market.
I'll do that, and I think it's great.
I think the submarine story is a little bit inflated.
Like, I mean, that was a little before the world of submarine stuff.
If you want to see big submarines, a block from where I live in Chicago, they capture a German submarine, the U-505.
That was a cool submarine, man.
Okay, I mean, you know, true submarines did advance from the 1860s to the 1990s.
I could get chicks, man, if it was like up there.
I was going around like there.
But the South has many great things.
Yeah, so we're doing good.
Things are good here.
I wish it was a little more southern, but things are not that bad, and the economy is just booming.
So people are moving in there as Airbnbs and things like that.
Yeah, we want to take these people and make them more southern, but we don't want to be all gloom and doom and stuff.
So things are going good here, and people have got jobs.
In South Carolina, they got German BMW plants and things like that.
So things are going good.
So we don't want to be all gloom and doom and everything's bad and stuff because things are going well.
If we can get the culture better, we're going to be okay.
Jack, first of all, inflated, it is not.
They did sink the Housatonic.
So we'll give eternal glory to the CSS Hundley.
So they did sink it.
I mean, what more can you ask of us?
But Jack, how much longer you in Charleston and where are you going next?
I don't know.
I'm just going to extend just a little bit.
I want to see the church.
I did well the last weekend when I met people at church.
That's a part of.
Instead of meeting people in the bar and stuff, you go to church.
So I'm going to go to church this tomorrow.
I'm going to extend one or two days.
I'm in South Carolina for the next, for all of January to go back.
And then we'll just kind of take it from there.
But otherwise, it's been good.
And the Southern people have been great to me.
I love the stuff.
God bless us.
Well, Jack, we love you, and we're glad you're in the South.
And thank you for giving us a little bit of your experience in Charleston.
Enjoy the rest of Charleston.
Send me lots of pictures, and we'll talk to you next week.
Good night, everybody, for our guests tonight.
Lacey, Rich, Janice, Jack, Keith, the rest of the crew, Sam.
