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.
I know
what you're thinking, ladies and gentlemen.
It is our broadcast for Halloween night.
It is our last show before the election.
We've been making mention of that fact all night long.
So you're probably thinking this last hour, surely they're going to give us the most hard-hitting, prescient election commentary that we've ever heard on TPC, with it being such a big election after all.
But no, no.
We're going to take a radical departure now and just relax and talk about Halloween because I want to.
Well, I tell you what, that music's almost as scary as the prospect of Biden winning the election.
Well, I'll tell you this.
We will wrap up.
We'll have one more parting shot about all of that in a minute.
But first, we're going to talk about Halloween.
Our good friend, our longtime friend Courtney from Alabama is back this Halloween night to talk about how this time of year stirs her ancestral memory.
We did this with her last year.
I've forgotten all about it.
I just went back to the archives and saw it.
But that's what we're going to do.
Don't take this wrong way.
Halloween and Courtney don't normally go together.
No, She loves it.
She loves it.
And, well, we'll tell you why.
That's why she's on after all.
But she's been a little hurricane magnet this year, and she just got zapped again.
How you doing, Courtney?
We're hanging in there.
My husband just hooked up the generator and just, you know, trying to, my daughter's a little restless.
The other child is asleep right now.
So we're just trying to make do.
And he hooked up the generator right before, you know, right before it was time to call.
And so I was able to charge my phone a little more.
So, you know, everything always works out for me being on.
I've always noticed that.
Calling in.
Calling in Halloween night with the power outage right after Hurricane, what was it, Zeta hit?
So, hey, we got to give Courtney her due credit for that.
So we'll make haste with you this evening.
What are we talking about?
Oh, okay.
Well, the opening remark I wanted to make was, you know, I mean, we are going to talk about Halloween, and I know we have less time now, but the opening point I wanted to make, kind of to tie in last show with this one.
You know, I made a comment last show about, you know, enjoying, you know, the older movies, especially if you're younger and just appreciating the people from that time period instead of assuming that you have so much of a difference than them.
When you look at their true nature, we have a lot in common.
Well, I've had a lot of older people in the family pass away recently with them going through their homes.
And like I've noticed, like going through like the home of a deceased grandmother, I've just noticed just how much they took care of their stuff.
I mean, I admire it.
They had such nice, high-quality clothes, and they took care of it.
Ironed everything.
If there was a stain on something, they didn't let it.
You know, they made sure everything was put away looking as nice as possible and they knew how to store jewelry properly.
And you know, and just so, it's like just these older generations that we, as younger people, we sometimes we don't, it's not cool to be around them sometimes, but you know, it's like once they move on and you look back at how they lived, it's just that they were such an amazing, they're so amazing to me.
Um, that was the main thing I wanted to say about that.
I know we have other things to go on too, other than that I just have had hurricanes going on and it's just oh man, um and uh, you know and, and another quick point, you know there's always, you know, when there's hurricanes going on down here, there's constantly construction people and utility people.
You know uh, you know, mainly men, you know, going around and working constantly and I really appreciate them.
And um, and you know, and one night there was one night when I had to go out in a parking lot by myself um, you know, coming out of Target one night.
I try to avoid that, but one night I had to go get groceries by myself at night and I was going out in the Target Target parking lot and some of them were, you know, they're working on something and I just appreciated them being there.
I really did, I felt safer.
There's this stereotype that oh, you know, when a woman walks by, construction workers are going to whistle at her and harass her.
And i've never, you know, i've been whistled at, but I don't mind, you know they're not dangerous and but I just appreciated them being there and um, and I appreciate the work they do, just constantly working for us to get things done, no matter what hour of the day it is after a hurricane, constantly working mostly, you know, mostly white men doing it.
So anyways uh, that's that I want.
I don't want to take up too much time away from the topic.
No, you're doing fine.
Have you ever been whistled at James, by construction workers?
Thank god, no.
But uh anyway Courtney, I know you're fryed, a lot going on, a lot unexpected and uh, you're uh racing to get things put back together down there right on the uh heels of this hurricane.
But uh, but me and you have talked over the years you've been a part of our family here for for so long uh about liking halloween uh, the historical aspects of it, the connections that it has to Europe.
We'll talk about that in just a second.
But you know, I would just like to say this, I mean obviously, halloween now gets uh sort of frowned upon by churches, which I couldn't frown back at a church, a modern day church anymore.
That's where the real horror is, if I tried.
But I mean, it is a wonderful European expression.
It's, Halloween is uh, an expression of our European people and certainly it does go back to the Celts and to paganism to an extent.
And and then it got uh, the church uh had its uh, its uh effects on it and Christianized it to install Halloween and all of that.
But it's just, it's just a wonderful.
There's just something about it.
Perhaps Courtney could put her finger on it more, but it is ours, it is entirely ours, it is a, it is a European thing, it's our traditions, it's our history, it's our holiday and for that reason and more, i'm sure it's just something about this time of year that really, I guess, transcends our ability to articulate it.
It's just something we feel Courtney yeah it's, it's a mixture of uh, it's a mixture of the cloudy skies um, the rain, that this is still part of hurricane season down here.
So a lot of rainy days and uh um, even though we don't have, you know, the the change of seasons like people further north have.
I know north Alabama has the nice change of leaves.
I'm sure you all have that too um, but uh, but um but no, it's just, it's just the time of the year, the cold in the air the the, you know turn, being able to turn the lights off and light up a jack-o'-lantern and look at it, you know like, it just reminds me of our people, you know our, you know, in northern Europe, especially like when it got it got dark real quickly and um, and you know so, a lot of nights uh, you know sitting, sitting with candlelight, firelight.
Yeah.
Okay, my daughter's talking to me.
It's okay, baby.
You can take that.
You know, a lot of nights, you know, when you look at these historical, you know, you look at these historical movies that take place in Europe in the 1600s or even early America, you know, just 16, 1700s before that.
And then into early America, you see all these nice cozy settings where our people are sitting and looking at fire or sitting by firelight or, I mean, candlelight or a lantern.
And it's just, you know, that time of year, this time of year just reminds me of that, especially with the jack-o'-lanterns and being able to just light up your house when it's dark and just so many other things we'll get into.
And we will get into that next.
Courtney, for as long as you can, I know you've got your kids are up.
You just went through a hurricane.
Your power's been out.
It just got restored just a few minutes ago via generators.
If you need to take off, let us know.
We'll keep you until you do.
We'll be right back to talk more about Halloween, how it stirs our spirit.
Traces back to Europe.
We'll be back.

As the United States boldly stepped forward in the glorious light provided by its new Constitution in 1787, the nations of the earth were in awe of the newfound strength and hope of this free land.
Today, the nation stands at a crossroads.
A divergence from the original intent put forth in the United States Constitution has brought grave threats to our beloved nation.
A miracle is needed if the United States is to survive.
That miracle is again the pure application of the United States Constitution.
I'm Scott Bradley.
In my To Preserve the Nation book and lecture series, I bring forth truths that will help raise up a new generation of statesmen like those noble Americans who founded this land.
Vigorous application of these principles will invigorate and restore the nation, and we may become again the freest, most prosperous, most respected, and happiest nation on earth.
Visit topreservethenation.com to begin that restoration.
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 some of my silver 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.

Well, if we don't talk about Halloween on Halloween night, when are we going to talk about it?
And it is important, and perhaps it's even more important in a certain way than even talking about the election stuff because this goes back to our people's history spanning centuries.
It is a part of the marrow of our beings.
One way or another, we're going to toss it back to our good friend who loves Halloween just as much as we do, Courtney from Alabama, in just a minute, just a couple of minutes.
But first, let's play a clip.
We've played it before, give you a little more on that Halloween history.
From communion with the dead to pumpkins and pranks, Halloween is a patchwork holiday stitched together with cultural, religious, and occult traditions that span centuries.
It all began with the Celts, a people whose culture had spread across Europe more than 2,000 years ago.
October 31st was the day they celebrated the end of the harvest season in a festival called Sowen.
That night also marked the Celtic New Year and was considered a time between years, a magical time when the ghost of the dead walked the earth.
It was the time when the veil between death and life was supposed to be at its thinnest.
On Samhain, the villagers gathered and lit huge bonfires to drive the dead back to the spirit world and keep them away from the living.
But as the Catholic Church's influence grew in Europe, it frowned on the pagan rituals like Sowhan.
In the 7th century, the Vatican began to merge it with a church-sanctioned holiday.
So November 1st was designated All Saints' Day to honor martyrs and the deceased faithful.
Both of these holidays had to do with the afterlife and about their survival after death.
It was a calculated move on the part of the church to bring more people into the fold.
All Saints Day was known then as Hallowis.
Hallow means holy or saintly.
So the translation is roughly Mass of the Saints.
The night before, October 31st, was All Hallows' Eve, which gradually morphed into Halloween.
The holiday came to America with the wave of Irish immigrants during the potato famine of the 1840s.
They brought several of their holiday customs with them, including bobbing for apples and playing tricks on neighbors, like removing gates from the front of houses.
The young pranksters wore masks so they wouldn't be recognized.
But over the years, the tradition of harmless tricks grew into outright vandalism.
Back in the 1930s, it really became a dangerous holiday.
I mean, there was such hooliganism and vandalism.
Trick-or-treating was originally an extortion deal.
Give us candy or we'll trash your house.
Storekeepers and neighbors began giving treats or bribes to stop the tricks, and children were encouraged to travel door to door for treats as an alternative to troublemaking.
By the late 30s, trick-or-treat became the holiday greeting.
So there is just a very succinct history of Halloween from start to finish, but I will tell you from start to finish, it has been, as I said before, a uniquely European expression.
Courtney, back to you.
Okay.
Yeah, another thing is just all the, our people have so many, and I want to make it clear.
I made this clear last time.
I don't like Halloween because I'm into the Satan worship or because I'm into all the blood and guts.
Like I'm not, you know, there's a lot of people that go too far with that stuff.
I'm just not into interest in all that.
Like you go to the store and you see all these decorations of like severed hands and chainsaws.
Yeah, baby, I see.
Okay, that's pretty.
I'm letting my daughter, I was talking about jewelry earlier, my grandma's house.
I'm letting my daughter get it through my jewelry right now just to keep her occupied.
As I said, every time your daughter appears in tandem with you, it's always endearing.
And I think it just goes to show the kind of people that we have here at TPC.
But no, by all means, go on.
Oh, but yeah, I'm not into the blood and guts or the Satan worship.
I don't really get into that stuff.
But, you know, I just like the, you know, like I said earlier, jack-o'-lanterns and, you know, the stuff that, you know, the myths, you know, related to everything, you know, all the, all the characters that you think of, you know, associated with Halloween, like, you know, little ghosts that you put around your house, jack-o-lanterns, Frankenstein, little witches.
I'm not worshiping that stuff, but it's just fun to, you know, like the cartoonish versions of all that, sending it around your house.
I grew up like that.
It's fun.
You know, it's just kind of, you know, because our people have so many like stories and myths associated with all that stuff, like coming about over years and years.
And it's not just in Europe.
Like once we came to America, it's amazing like all the Halloween folklore we have in America.
There's so much of it.
Like you think of the headless horsemen, you know, all the stuff up in Salem, Massachusetts.
There's all sorts of, we, I don't know if this is older than when James and I were little, but there was a book that was popular when James and I were little called Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
And there were a lot of stories in there.
There were three of three volumes of it.
There were a lot of stories in there that originated in old America, like parts of Appalachia.
There's a lot of scary stories that take place in abandoned farms and just like all throughout the country.
Just so much folklore.
And so it's not just Europe, but it's just amazing the rich heritage we have here too.
And I just enjoy all that stuff.
That's the part of Halloween I really enjoy.
I don't enjoy all this modern pop culture, blood and gut stuff.
I don't enjoy all of that as much.
Again, Michael Hill, I borrowed this from Michael Hill.
He was talking about his book, Celtic Warfare, a couple of years ago on the show.
And he talked about when he was writing that book many, many, many years ago, he went over to Scotland to do research.
And he said, as soon as he stepped off the plane, he felt like he was at home.
And I think that there is something about that with Halloween that just triggers a sort of, well, as we've said before, ancestral memory within ourselves, within our DNA, within our mind, within our spirit.
We remember.
Our genes remember, I think, that this was a part of our story going back through our line and through our people going back many, many, many generations.
I can look at something from China, the Chinese, Chinese culture, Chinese architecture, stories of Chinese heroes or whatever.
And it does nothing for me.
It's just, it doesn't elicit that same sort of fondness that this does.
And it's not to say that they don't have good architecture, that they don't have good stories, but it's not our story.
So I think, again, I hope I'm stabbing in the general direction that will lead people to our understanding of why we do this segment every year.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like a something that, you know, we touched on it a lot last year, but there's something about it that I almost can't really put my finger on and put into words.
I mean, we kind of touched on it with the weather, the change of leads, and just all the things that remind us of Europe and everything.
But it's just, there's something about it that I just can't even put in words.
It just makes me feel good.
I don't know if it's the, you know, the dark, sitting in a dark room with a lit up jack-o'-lantern that just makes you feel like you're in old Europe or something.
I don't know what you know, that was the thing.
I was telling you, Courtney, I was watching something recently that depicted the barbarians or the Germanic people during the age of the Roman era.
And it depicted them in this series in their villages in the dark woods of Europe in a winter's setting with the fires lit.
I just think, you know, that's how our people, the people of Northern Europe, I mean, these long winters, this time of harvest, the celebration right before winter set in.
I mean, there is something spiritual about that, Keith.
And we certainly like that it beats the weather now, that's for sure, here in the South, especially.
Well, let me just say this, Courtney.
If you're looking for, like, say, Celtic folklore and an old-fashioned horror movie that is not blood and guts, but very suspenseful, The Body Snatcher, 1945 with Bars Carlisle from Bella Lugosi, you can't do better than that.
Courtney, can you give us, I know, like I said, it's Halloween night, you got a lot going on.
Can you give us one more segment so we can talk about movies?
I know that's something you had on your agenda as well.
Sure, sure.
All right, Courtney from Alabama is going to stick around with us, folks.
We'll be right back with her.
Two more segments left on our Halloween show.
Pursuing Liberty, using the Constitution as our guide.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio, USA Radio News with Lance Pryde.
The terrorist threat level in France has been elevated.
Nice mayor Christian Estrossi said there had been a terrorist attack in the heart of the Notre Dame Basilica.
A suspect was shot and detained shortly afterwards.
Mr. Ostrossi spoke of Islamofascism plaguing the country.
President Emmanuel Macron is on his way to the scene.
France's national anti-terror prosecutors have opened a murder inquiry.
The Commerce Department announced Thursday the U.S. economic growth shattered a record at 33.1% for the third quarter.
Goldman Sachs gave the economy a 35% growth based on new jobs numbers.
Former Federal Reserve Board of Governors Randall Krosner tells Fox News jobs are fueling the growth.
Yeah, certainly out ahead of where everybody else is.
We did have a better jobs report than I think most people had expected.
And I think consumption is firmer than many people had expected.
It's a bit aggressive.

Welcome back.

With the stars up above your eyes, a fantabulous night to make romance.
Need the cover of October skies.
With all the leaves on the trees are falling to the sound of the breezes that play.
And I'm trying to please to the calling of your heartstrings that play soft and low.
You know, the night's magic seems to western you.
You know, the sunlight seems to shine your place.
Can I just have one more moon dance with you on my love?
Ladies and gentlemen, how many of you are having a moondance this Halloween night?
Well, it's a good night for it.
Probably none better, if I could say so myself.
But we're back.
We have one more segment with Courtney from Alabama, who's always with us, it seems.
Been with us for, well, as long as I can remember.
Songs are Halloween.
All right, Courtney.
We got one more segment with you.
I know you wanted to talk about movies, perhaps Halloween music a little bit.
What do you got?
Well, first of all, thanks for playing.
Thanks for playing two of the songs I like.
Moondance, and then you play Dracula's theme.
I always forget the proper name of it.
It's like I sent it to you in a title organ.
What's that?
Dakota and Fugue and D minor.
That's it.
I always forget that name.
Yeah, see, we had the fourth Phantom of the Opera.
Yeah.
A lot of people probably don't realize that was written by Bach, that Oregon music.
They associate it so much with, you know, they probably don't know when it was written or, you know, they just hear it in Dracula movies.
But anyway, I've always liked that.
And Moondance.
It's one of those oldies that, you know, I like oldies.
And when that comes on the radio, it's just something that, you know, it's not even during Halloween.
It just plays throughout the year.
But when I hear it, it's just always, I just always thought there was something creepy sounding about it.
And I always kind of liked it.
So It just, I don't know, it kind of reminds you of, I don't know, it reminds you of evening setting and you're looking out into a forest or something.
But, but anyways, but for movies, and I don't, I don't mean to change the topic quickly if you wanted to say more about music.
No, no, no, go ahead.
For movies, you know, basically, you know, like I said earlier, I'm not into all this modern, you know, blood and gut stuff, really, all the slasher stuff that kind of dominated the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
I like, there's two things that I like to be present in a quote-unquote.
Yeah, baby, that's beautiful.
That's beautiful.
Why don't you put it on?
So I'm going to talk while I'm opening up this necklace for her.
Can you all hear me okay?
We hear you fine.
Okay.
There's two things that I like that I like to see in a quote-unquote horror movie for me to like it.
Number one, yeah, baby.
Good, good.
Number one, you know, like kind of the elements we talked about, like the historical characters that remind us of Europe and early America.
And there's a lot of movies that still have those elements in them.
The other element, and I'm glad Keith is here for this.
I really am.
The other element is it's something that Alfred Hitchcock really mastered that movies today are horrible about.
Like, you know, today it's all about showing everything, being gratuitous about everything.
Don't leave, you know, don't leave anything to the imagination.
Don't let the mind wander.
The way to make things, the way to make something really scary in a movie is to not show everything going on, make the audience figure it out or kind of wonder, like they're wondering in suspense, what is going on?
And then it's not till the very end that something's revealed.
And that's how an Alfred Hitchcock movie is.
I don't even associate those movies with Halloween.
And they don't even have like scary monsters in them or anything, but they're scary because you know there's something wrong throughout the movie.
There's something suspenseful.
And it doesn't, and it keeps leading up to something.
And you don't see the big final clue until the very end.
And I just thought he was very good at that.
There's several Alfred Hitchcock movies I love.
And I think these modern horror movie producers need to take some hints from how he did things.
I'll tell you one thing, and I want to give it to Keith to give us a list.
Another thing Courtney likes a lot is stop motion animation.
Now, if you've never watched any of these things, she can give you the best creepy Halloween-y type stop-motion animation you've never seen before.
But that's a departure, but we needed to work in a mention of that very quickly.
So let's go.
Maybe it's going to be hard to work in any Halloween movies unless you fire one up right now.
You got about two or three hours before midnight after the show's over.
But give us three Halloween movies you'd recommend, Keith.
Well, the best one, again, is The Body Snatcher.
It's a Val Luton movie made for RCA.
He did the horror movies for them.
Boris Karloff said he saved my soul.
Before that, he thought he was basically just a mannequin to hang costumes on, like in Frankenstein and The Mummy and things like that.
But he really got to show his acting chops in this.
And what you were talking about, Courtney, is there in space, the suspense in that movie, The Body Snatcher.
For example, when a street singer is killed in order to get her body to sell, the way they do it, she's walking off into the darkness, dark streets of Edinburgh, singing an old traditional Scottish song.
And then Boris Karloff and his taxicab, the handsome cab he had with a horse, is clipped clopping along after.
And then they both go into the darkness and you hear her singing.
Then all of a sudden it's like, ooh, put her hand over her mouth.
You know, you know exactly what happened, but there's no blood and guts.
That's the way that they used to do it.
They used to be masters of suspense.
And we don't get that nowadays.
Ever since the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, it's just been blood and guts.
All right, Courtney, give us some of your Halloween movie recommendations or a retort to what Keith just said.
We only have two minutes left with you.
That sounds like a very good movie, the way he described it.
And again, you know, there's several Alfred Hitchcock movies that are wonderful.
And one of my favorites is Rear Window.
That is a very intense, scary movie.
And there's others.
And then, you know, the one he just mentioned, that sounds like a good one to watch.
You know, and then, you know, you get, that's a lot of the older stuff when they, and they mastered that sort of thing.
But, you know, you move into the 70s, 80s, 90s.
I mean, there were some good gems from them that were those time periods that were original.
But overall, it's like they really got into the splasher killer stuff.
And I'm just not, I just didn't get into that.
You move into like the period after the 90s, and there's a lot more variety now.
And they're a lot more creative.
Like they cover all sorts of topics, like, you know, historical stuff dealing with witches, you know, like ghosts.
You know, they cover all sorts of genres with the horror movie, you know, genre thing.
And, you know, I would say, you know, again, like I was saying earlier, 98% of them are not scary because they don't know how to be scary anymore.
They have to be in your face, jump scares, they show them.
Jump scares, yeah.
Yeah, they show the monster.
Yeah, yeah.
They show you the monster or the villain way too quickly.
And that takes all the fun out of it.
That's not scary.
It's like you're not supposed to show what everybody in the house is scared of, you know, until maybe the very end.
So an example of a modern day movie that I think was done very well is The Ring.
I think it came out in 2002.
That was scary.
That was a scary movie.
Yeah, absolutely.
It builds things up, and you don't know what in the world is going on.
I mean, it's just, it's creepy.
It is very creepy.
And it kind of harkens back.
There's hints of old Europe, old America in there.
If you look at how the people are dressed that are the center of the fear in the movie, you know what I'm talking about.
You know, like the way the girl looks and everything.
I mean, it's just creepy, and it reminds you of early America with the barn and everything like that.
You know, stuff like that.
Let's see, what's another good one?
Now, you know, another one that I mention a lot is The Descent.
Now, I don't like that because of all the gore that comes up later, you know, in the movie.
But everything leading up to that is just so, it's so suspenseful and scary.
And it's stuff you can relate to, you know, being in a dark cave, being trapped.
You know, the way they, the way they play that out for a very long time, they play on your fears.
Just the fact that they're in a cave is scary and they play on that, those fears for like half the movie.
And then the second half of the movie is the other part where the blood and guts come in.
And, you know, that adds another element of fear to everything.
But it's just, you know, the way they prolonged everything at the beginning, they get you in the right mood.
And I'm sure people who have seen the movie know what I'm talking about.
If they haven't, I don't want to give it away.
But I love that.
Well, there's no shortage.
Yeah.
No shortage of horror movies that we could recommend, I'm sure.
But I will tell you this, we all may be characters in a national horror movie Tuesday night.
So unwittingly, we're all extras in this one that may roll out.
But Courtney, let me mention one thing before we leave on this.
Courtney likes Rear Window.
The original script for Rear Window was a movie called The Window starring Bobby Driscoll, who was like the little boy in Song of the South and whatnot.
And it's about a little boy that goes out on the fire escape and sees the people one story up from him murder somebody in their Lower East Side of Park.
Course really good.
Happy Halloween.
Thanks for being with us on Halloween night.
We'll talk to you again soon.
Stay safe down there.
Thank you.
Give our best to your daughter.
We'll be back.
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 Medigoria.
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 Medigoria.
To order, visit medge.com, spelled neg.com, or call Caritas 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?
Anybody ever had less money this year than you had last?
Anybody better 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.
You know where the solution can be found, Mr. President?
In churches, in wedding chapels, in maternity wards across the country and around the world.
More babies will mean forward-looking adults, the sort we need to tackle long-term, large-scale problems.
American babies in particular are likely going to be wealthier, better educated, and more conservation-minded than children raised in still industrializing countries.
As economist Tyler Cowan recently wrote, quote, by having more children, you're making your nation more populous, thus boosting its capacity to solve climate change.
The planet does not need for us to think globally and act locally so much as it needs us to think family and act personally.
The solution to so many of our problems at all times and in all places is to fall in love, get married, and have some kids.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, we hope you've enjoyed our Halloween broadcast.
One last segment.
I want to bring everything back full circle and into sharp focus.
There is a message here that has not been yet shared tonight that we want it to end on.
And we want to bring Sam Bushman back on right now to help share it.
And I think I would begin by saying that whatever happens on Tuesday, whatever happens next week, next month, next year, the next decade, the next century and beyond, this is our Father's world.
We are God's children.
We need to have our sights set on the eternal while working, of course, for positive resolutions to the problems of our time.
There is a bigger picture, and we're all a part of it.
Sam.
James, I want to start by saying this.
You know, one of the things that you really need to remember about America is, you know what, we're turning away from God and we're getting punished for it.
And that's something that you just cannot escape.
And others would say, Sam, I'm not as religious as you are.
And my response is fine.
But we're talking about eternal principles, eternal law.
I mean, the founding fathers talked about eternal law, the creator, something above government.
And when you violate principles of eternal law, punishments come, troubles come, things fall off the rails.
And so you look at America and you say, hey, the Ten Commandments are a great starting point for stability and safety.
And when we violate those, we're in trouble.
The reason that I bring this up is things are bad.
They're really bad.
And we can acknowledge that.
And that's important to acknowledge.
You can't just gloss over it and think it's great and think all of a sudden we're going to come back to freedom and everything's going to be awesome.
Hey, it's bad news.
Okay, we live in perilous times.
However, and this is kind of the most important piece, understand that the fact that we're on the radio, the fact that we've been pretty much left alone, yeah, they attack us from time to time, but just verbally.
Yeah, they're trying to close down internet connections and broadcasts and things, but we're still on the air.
And in the real gulag times, they'd just simply, in the middle of the night, haul us off and would never be heard from again.
And so I bring this up to say, you know, in the ghoulish times of Halloween and everything else, whether it's jokes and fun for us Christians, whether it's goblins and whatever for the little more sinister and fun pranks and whatever, or whether it's flat out satanic worship, you know what?
We in America still have a lot of freedom.
We still can get on the radio and say what we want.
I can tell you that I think Joe Biden's an absolute thug and the criminal should be arrested.
Okay?
We can still say and believe and think and do what we want.
Yes, worship is under some trouble.
We need to push back as Americans, though.
So I bring this all up to say God still is in his heavens, folks.
He still understands us.
We are his children.
If you biblically understand, we are the literal offspring of the Almighty God.
We have a godly heritage.
And you know what?
Even though times are tough, we've been through tough times in America before.
We've been through wars.
We've been through all kinds of things.
We've been through plagues and viruses.
I can go on and on.
We've even had internal civil wars.
And sadly, they're probably trying to gear up for another one.
But you know what?
If we turn to God and if we turn to one another and if we hold the line and do our little part, I can't solve the world's problems by three o'clock, but by golly, I can do something.
And I'm one man and not a very capable one at that, I'm sure.
You know, others would say, Sam, we can do it better than you.
And my response is, by all means, have at it, people.
But all I'm saying is that, you know what, I can do something.
And that which I can do, I will do.
And when one becomes two, becomes the few, becomes the many, there is power in greater numbers.
We have the numbers.
And they're afraid, meaning the tyrannical folks, are afraid that if we get wind of our power, if we all of a sudden start to wake up the sleeping giant and understand who we are, they're done for.
But it all relates to wickedness versus righteousness.
And if we don't embrace the principles that make nations great, those are godly principles.
Those are principles of an almighty power above government.
Call that what you want.
Be whatever religious denomination or non-denominational you want to or whatever you want to do.
But acknowledge there's principles that govern the universe above bureaucrats and thugs and professional do-gooders.
And that is what we must appeal to.
And those are the principles that we must be willing to abide by.
And if we do, there's no stopping how great we as individuals can be as children of God, how great we can be as families, and how great we can be as a civilization.
And it's a matter of sticking together and doing one's part.
And so with that humble submission, James, we ask for donations.
We ask for donations.
We're going to be live Tuesday night.
Sam, James, and the others.
So, you know what?
Donate and get involved.
You might say, I can't talk.
I can't write.
Everybody's got their own place and their own part.
I've said this so many times, but I'm convinced it's the key to our success, James.
My last thing, and then I'm going to give it all to Keith, is, first of all, I think the last five minutes that you just had were the most important five minutes of the entire show tonight.
That's number one.
Number two, I just want to be sure to plug this on election night, Tuesday night, Sam is going to be preempting five hours of regular network programming, and we are going to be going live.
And when I say we, I mean the entire Liberty News Radio Network family.
Sam, yours truly, Keith will be there.
Eddie, Scoop Stanton, Walter.
I mean, just a wide variety of network personalities.
We're going to do a five-hour live real-time election results show.
So all you'll have to do is just tune in the way you would tune into any show on this network.
Tune in through the regular streams.
Election night beginning at 7 o'clock Eastern, 6 o'clock Central.
And for the next five hours, we're going to be watching the election results with you, giving you our breakdown and takes.
And that's going to be happening on election night.
We're even going to have people joining us.
We're coming in on site from D.C. Scoop Stanton's going to roll into the Republican headquarters.
We're going to have some other people in different unique places around the country.
We're going to have some surprise guests.
Sam and James together are going to anchor the show.
It's going to be an incredible.
We're going to pull all breaks and do a fundraiser at the same time.
Every penny will help us launch into 2021 with a huge bang.
I just got back from Jekyll Island.
We've got places to go in 2021 as well.
We're kicking off a Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association event in Texas at the end of January.
And we've got things a cooking, baby.
And if President Trump wins again, where do we go?
In January, do we just roll right on over to DC?
Well, what's happening for their last time?
We're going to get her done.
And so I'm just telling you right now, we've got places to go and things to do, but we absolutely desperately need your support, your financial support.
Libertynewsradio.com, donate and donate.
I was telling everybody on my show, if you donate $1,000 a day for the next six days, then if 1,000 people did it, we'd be in good shape.
And even Keith might donate.
Could you imagine something like that, James?
Let's ask you.
Don't keep taking away.
Well, let me just say this in response to the more serious things we're talking about.
Just because a building has a steeple on it and has a cross in it doesn't mean that it's a proper church.
We live in an age of apostasy.
All you have to do is ask James Edwards about what's happened to his denomination, the Southern Baptists or me, the Episcopalians.
If it hasn't hit your denomination, believe me, you're lucky, but the devil hasn't forgotten you.
They're going to do that.
So basically, you need to have a personal relationship with God.
People ask me, where does true religion exist?
It exists between the covers of your old Bible.
Like for us, the King James Version, original edition.
This is what you need to do.
Don't be beguiled.
Remember, liberalism is a modern face of evil, and that includes liberalism in the church.
We all need that old-time religion.
that our fathers and grandfathers had.
That's the religion that will save you.
It's not being a good member and good standing with these modern, like I've said, they have exchanged the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John for the gospels of Peter, Paul, and Mary.
We don't need the gospels of Peter, Paul, and Mary.
We need the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
We need our God.
It is our father's world.
But you have to realize that there are a lot of forces of evil out there in the Democratic Party and elsewhere and in some of our churches, unfortunately.
And we need to be wary of them and we need to protect ourselves and our families and our children from these forces.
This is it, folks.
This is the last you'll hear from us until next Saturday night and next live Tuesday, buddy.
Come on.
Well, yeah, I just absolutely contradicted myself.
Well, that's right.
That's the last you'll hear from us on TPC proper until next Saturday.
But of course, of course, of course, don't forget, and we're late plugging this tonight, but we're going to send it out to our email list.
We're going to put it on Twitter.
We're going to put it on the website on Tuesday night one more time.
Remember to be with us here at the Liberty News Radio Network.
Tune in how you would normally tune into any of our shows on this network to listen to us live, breaking down the election results.
It's an election night coverage show beginning at 7 o'clock Eastern, 6 Central for the next five hours all the way up to midnight Eastern, 11 p.m. Central.
We're going to be there and seeing what happens.
It's going to be the entire company.
You voted for Trump, I think.
No.
I didn't.
I thought you said you were going to.
I was going to.
But then the Lord worked upon me, my friend.
I'll explain it.
I'll explain it.
You want Trump to win, but you didn't vote for him.
That is correct.
And I will explain Tuesday night in detail of why I did what I did, but I voted for the constitutional candidate.
Well, that's okay.
Well, he must be going to fill you in on his $12 billion when he gets that settlement.
I sure wish that was true, but I don't know about that.
I did, and I'll explain why, and it'll make sense Tuesday night live.
All right.
Well, I tell you what, if Trump loses Utah by one vote, I'm going to call you.
I say, Bushman, everybody.
Hey, listen, love you guys.
Happy Halloween.
We'll see you Tuesday night for the live election coverage, and we're back on TPC next Saturday.
