You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
The Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
Welcome back.
Always a lot of fun and a lot of energy when we bring Harry Cooper, the president of Shark Hunters International, back to the show.
Harry, longtime friend, but really have reconnected in a big way the last few years with regular appearances.
And his work at Shark Hunters is truly, without exaggeration, one of a kind.
And any interview he's been on, you can go back to our broadcast archives, be sure to check it out.
We've done full hours just talking about the mission and the purpose of Shark Hunters.
But we're not going to be doing that tonight.
We'll revisit it briefly, but we're going to be mainly talking about his most recent trip to Germany.
Harry is fresh off the plane, just got back a couple of days ago after spending about a month there.
And, well, first we'll let him say hello and remind you that if you were there with us in Greenville, South Carolina in May at our 20th anniversary conference, this man stole the show.
Harry, how are you doing tonight?
I'm doing fine, thank you.
And talk about fresh off the plane.
I'm not sure I'm so fresh.
I've been beat to a frazzle.
Well, you had a lot, it's a long travel, even under the best of circumstances.
And you had to dodge Milton on the way back in and actually got stranded a couple of days, did you not?
Yeah, I got stuck in Atlanta, which, you know, Atlanta is a great place, but I got stuck in a hotel.
And the farthest I could go was about 200 yards away to a rib joint, and that was it.
The rest of the time, I sat in my room that smelled like Lysol and mildew, the whole hotel did.
And when the guy in the next room slammed his door, my walls would shake.
But I got another chapter done in one of my books.
So I just sat there banging away on the keys and got home.
My wife is the real hero.
She and my son hung out through both hurricanes while I was in Europe.
God bless them.
Yes, exactly.
I was thinking about you.
As a matter of fact, folks, I knew Harry would be returning home from his most recent shark hunters tour in Germany this week.
And I think we had had it since August.
Him scheduled to come on tonight.
But then when I just didn't know if he was going to have power, if he's going to be having damage or anything like that, because he's right there on the Florida coast that missed his, you got spared by both Helene and Milton, frankly, Harry, and we're so thankful for that.
You and your wife and family.
Yeah, my wife and son and our house and everything was totally untouched, thank God.
But in Helene, further toward the coast, we're about 15 miles in from the Gulf of Mexico.
One of our favorite restaurants there is nothing but a concrete slab.
Now, not a stick is standing, and there's homes along there.
Same thing.
Nothing is left but a concrete slab.
I know that it had to be.
I talked to you today.
I said, I know that you had to be a little concerned being over in Germany and knowing that this, at the time, Category 5, Milton, was coming right up your alley.
And you said, more than a little, pal.
Yeah, more than a little, because my wife and son were here.
And my wife, I left the decision to her.
She remained.
Shan, my son were about the only people still in this neighborhood.
And when I was in Atlanta, stuck in Atlanta, I got a call from the guy who cuts my lawn, and he wanted to know what was the status.
Any damage, whatever.
I said, why don't you look out your window?
He says, I can't.
I'm in Macon.
He drove all the way to Macon, Georgia.
Well, I think, you know, Milton, it was, this was the case of the typically overhyped hurricane.
Yes, it caused a lot of damage.
Yes, I mean, any hurricane is obviously somewhat serious, but you had already five.
Well, it was, you know, down to one or a two when it hit.
But it was, you had the mayor, you know, typical, frankly, you know, hysterical female elected official, the mayor of Tampa saying, if you stay at home, wherever you're at will be your coffin.
I mean, and I think a couple of people died.
That's terrible.
Yeah, she said that.
She said everybody, the news media, you know, who are doing these things for clicks and to be sensational.
Now, obviously, Helene was a different situation with the flooding up in the mountains because of the topography there.
It's a bowl-shaped area in that place in North Carolina.
Right.
But that's an unusual storm.
It was very much an outlier.
Now, the over-exaggerated effects of hurricanes, that's a little more like it.
And we certainly saw the hysteria this week saying, if you stay on the coast, you're going to die.
And I don't think, you know, I think a couple of people died.
That's terrible, but they died from hurricanes.
Excuse me, they died from tornadoes.
Anyway, but I thought.
Tornadoes are frightening because you can't get away from them and you can't protect yourself.
I'll tell you, you know, you talk about overhyped.
You're not kidding.
We see it here in Florida, you know, and they got some people, guy, woman, whatever, with a microphone all slickered up and everything.
And they're up to about two inches of water on the street.
Oh, it's going to be horrible.
We're all going to die.
Some guy is building an ark over here.
And I remember one time seeing, I don't even remember who it was.
It was some guy on a station.
Oh, this is horrible.
And the water was about maybe a foot deep.
And there's death and destruction everywhere.
And while he's talking, two guys come walking past him, just walking like there's nothing going on.
I'll tell you what it reminds me of, Harry.
It reminds me of that scene in Godzilla when Godzilla is coming up into Tokyo.
You think that's happening with every hurricane that blows through Florida?
Well, you have to understand they have to do some incredible hype to keep the viewers glued to the station and looking at their advertising.
Because if they just say, hey, it's raining and it's not going to be a real disaster, they're going to flip off the channel to something where people are, you know, we're all going to die.
In my county during Milton, there was only one death, poor guy.
But it was avoidable.
I mean, this guy was out at 1 or 1.30 in the morning driving around.
And my wife says, what's this guy doing out driving around at 1.30 in the morning?
And a tree fell on him.
Sad, but, you know, if he'd have stayed at home, he'd still be afraid of the damage.
And you were right up the coast from where it made landfall.
You know, what, 100 miles?
So, I mean, so again, anyway, we were probably spending too much time on this.
Okay.
The point is, folks, we were going to bring Harry on, and then I thought that, you know, I was listening to all the hype, and I thought, well, at the very least, if he doesn't have damage, he's probably not going to have power because, you know, in North Carolina, they're not going to have power to like Christmas in some of these areas.
So I said, I emailed Harry and I said, Harry, let's rescue.
And then he got home and he was fine and everything's good.
And so we got him back on, and I'm glad for that.
I'll tell you what.
It's always good to talk.
What you do about nothing, as usual.
We have a governor like nobody else.
Power people standing by.
They came all the way from Canada.
He had the National Guard already alerted.
He had tanker trucks coming in convoys to refill the gas stations.
This guy is the best governor I've ever seen in any state, anywhere in my 85 years of breathing here.
I tell you what, you've got more energy at 85 than I do at 44.
And it ain't even close because I've seen this man work.
Listen, it's great to talk to you again tonight on the radio.
It's always even better to see you.
Now, did we have a good time working the crowd down there?
Like none either.
Did we have a good time in Greenville, Harry?
Before we get down to business tonight.
I loved it.
I loved it.
I don't want to see it 10 years from now.
I want to see it every year.
All right.
I know it's a lot of work, but so what?
I don't have to work.
You're the one doing the work.
And I'll tell you what, you make the work worthwhile.
You're bringing like-minded people together, good people who have this country's best interest at heart.
So every 10 years doesn't cut it, James.
Well, I appreciate you saying that, brother.
And let me say what you said right back to you, talking about bringing good people together.
No one has done it like you.
No one has done it like you and the mission of Shark Cunner.
So let's just quickly work through that before the first break.
Here is the three-point mission statement of shark hunters.
Number one, to tell the honest, true, and accurate history of the U-Boat WAFA and the men who served honorably without propaganda and fairy tales.
Number two, to restore the dignity and pride of these brave, honorable warriors.
And number three, to bring former enemies together as friends.
And in this work and in this effort at sharkhunters.com, what you've done with your organization, we're going to be talking about your most recent trip to Europe, which is a big part of the program there, along with the books and the informational materials.
You have brought these people together, former enemies that fought on the Allied side and the Axis side, Americans and Germans and others.
But I love this endorsement you got.
I mean, this is coming straight from the retired former chief naval officer, Admiral Frank Kelso, and he wrote this about your first book in the U-Boat series.
The pages of this book are fascinating reading.
They tell the gripping stories of the war at sea in the words of those who lived and died in the submarines and those who hunted the submarines.
That old enemies have now become friends is the real story of this book.
None could have thought years ago that this book would have been printed or that such mortal enemies could relate grim stories of the war in a book written together.
I found these stories of great interest and recommended them to those who would like to know how the war at sea was fought.
It should be remembered that the life of Britain and Germany depended on the outcome of the U-boat conflict.
This book reveals how this took place scene by scene and the courage and bravery of the men who participated on both sides.
I recommend its reading as a reminder never to get enveloped in such a conflict again.
That's the former chief naval officer of the United States Navy, folks, endorsing Harry Cooper's work and his book at sharkcunners.com.
With that said, he was back in Germany last week and he's going to tell us all about it next.
Stay tuned.
God tells us in Hebrews 10, 25 that we should gather together to worship him.
This isn't a request.
It is a command.
Going to church isn't an option.
It is your Christian duty.
With the hellish apostasy of mainstream churches, attending church these days can be difficult.
That is why you're King James Only, traditional services in the ancient Church of St. Mary Magdalene are live online.
And I invite you to gather with our congregation to study God's Holy Word.
Join us every Sunday at the TemplarChurch.com and especially on the first Sunday of the month for Holy Communion.
This do in remembrance of me is also a command that all Christians must obey.
I'm Reverend Jim Doson, ordained Puritan minister, nationalist, and a veteran pro-life campaigner.

The heavenly blisses of his kisses fills me with ecstasy.
He's sweet just like chocolate candy or like the honey from a bee.
Oh, I'm just wild about Harry and he's just wild about me.
That's what all the ladies say about Harry.
Believe me, I've seen it.
Oh, how do you follow that?
Hey, that was came straight from the mind of Keith Alexander, who dug that one out of the archives tonight.
But nevertheless, Harry Cooper, our friend, president of sharkhunters.com, gave you that brief reminder about the mission of the organization.
Be sure to check out sharkhunters.com.
Let me tell you this, folks.
This is the truth.
Because it's on auto draft, I guess, but this is a fact.
Before my house note gets paid, before my car note gets paid, before my insurance gets paid, the first thing that comes out of my check every month is my monthly membership dues to shark hunters.
And I wouldn't have it any other way.
Be sure to join up.
Be sure to look at their countless number of books and DVDs and everything else at sharkhunters.com.
Become a member.
And when you are a member, you have a chance to go on one of these patrols, which is basically a one-of-a-kind trip to Europe that is sanctioned by shark hunters and led by Harry Cooper.
You just got back, Harry, from Germany.
And if you go back, folks, in our archives, you go back and you listen to some of these shows, he talks about how a lot of the old veterans that fought for Germany in World War II and Americans come together at these events.
Now, obviously, a lot of the German ones are gone now.
Shark Hunter's been around a few decades now, but they're still going over there 41 years.
So, you know, the trips might be a little different now than they were 30 years ago, but they're still getting one hell of a vacation.
Harry, you just got back.
What did you do?
What'd you see?
Where'd you go?
What the people think?
Wow.
Okay.
Before we get into that, your listeners can go to sharkhunters.com and see our website.
Also, send me an email, sharkhunters at sharkhunters.com, and we'll send you a complimentary copy of the current issue.
And our hot mails will be going out shortly with tons and tons of photos and videos of this trip, which is called a patrol.
My best friend in Germany, who's no longer with us, Hans Georg Hess, was the youngest combat submarine commander probably ever in history, 21-year-old kid.
He was a command of a combat submarine, and he said we should call them patrols.
So we had this year we were so blessed.
We had the two top experts in the world on the things that the Third Reich built in Bavaria and Upper Austria.
The Third Reich built four times as much underground as they did above ground, and tunnels and bunkers, and some of the ruined buildings are still there.
And two guys, Jeff Carson, who is from Cornwall but now lives in Germany, and Jeffrey Walden, who lived there for many years, and he's the guy, you probably see him on the internet.
His site is called Third Reich in Ruins.
These two guys are without question the two leading experts in the world on that section of Germany and the Third Reich history.
They were with us.
We went places that most people never even heard of.
And I have to say, Jeff Walden told me that he saw stuff that I brought him to that he didn't even know.
And he lived there for a long, long time when he was in the U.S. Army.
We go to places that most people can see, as well as others that most people don't know about.
We went to the sites in Munich.
Naturally, we go to the Hofbrauhaus, which is where Hitler made his speeches up on the third floor because it could seat 800 people.
And I guess the people there don't really want people going to the third floor because people only go to the third floor because Hitler was there.
And so the doors were locked.
And there was a sign that says Ein Gang Verboten.
And if you understand German, you know that means Harry has got to find a way in here.
So there was a stairway through the kitchen up to the third floor.
And those doors were not locked.
So I led my group up there.
We're up there taking pictures, taking videos.
And finally, we said, okay, that's enough.
And we left.
And from there, of course, we went, we walked about a half an hour away.
We walked to Oktoberfest.
Everybody in the world ought to go to Oktoberfest, once in their life at least.
It is the biggest block party, more or less, you've ever seen.
There are huge beer tents, each one for a different brand of beer, but only beers that are brewed there in Munich.
And they all have big stages that stick out over the crowd.
There's like 6,000 people in there.
And they're all drinking beer in them huge big glasses called a mas, which is a liter of beer.
And my Irish granddad probably turns over in his grave every time I go there because I don't drink beer.
So I have a liter of Coke.
But they're singing, and each one of the Umpa bands is trying to drown out the guys in the next tent.
And I think last time we were there, this beautiful woman was up on stage.
She was about 28 years old, I'm guessing.
And she was performing and singing, okay.
And she stopped because it was time for her break, I guess.
And I'm talking to my buddies, and I look, there she is, right next to me, right at my elbow.
She didn't come down to see me, unfortunately.
You're wild about Harry?
Yeah.
Actually, her brother was sitting next to me.
But she and I got up on the table and were singing Delilah.
Fortunately, nobody could hear me.
Otherwise, I would have emptied the beer tent with my voice.
But we just have people you've never seen before in your life.
You've never met before, you're never going to see again.
Suddenly, you're buddies.
And most of the people in Germany have a rudimentary language skill with English, or as they say, Methandenfus Werwestansen.
In other words, with hands and feet, we understand.
So people just, they're people, they're friendly.
And you wonder, how could we have ever shot at one another?
But I guess that's the way it was planned by other people.
Anyhow, moving along, then we go up to the Air Museum at Overschleisheim, which is in a World War I Bavarian hangar for training fighter trainers in World War I.
But they've built onto it, and it's beautiful.
They got ME-262 jet fighters, ME-109s, which was Germany's basic fighter, and FW-190.
They've got F-86 Sabre jets, F-104 Starfighters.
They got everything in there.
And then we go up to, we base then for a few days in Ingolstadt.
They got some incredible museums there to the Bavarian Army, to the police, to various other things.
And it's right on the Danube River.
Of course, in Germany, it's called the Donau.
And they also have a sort of like an Oktoberfest, except they can't call it Oktoberfest, so they call it a folkfest.
And then, of course, we were close to Nuremberg.
So from there, we go to Nuremberg, and naturally we go to the party rally sites.
And unfortunately, even though they had been trying to tear down everything that the Third Reich built for the longest time, then some years ago, the German parliament or government, whatever you call it, passed a law said that anything was built in the Third Reich cannot be torn down.
Unfortunately, they ain't given any money to maintain it.
So many things we've seen, historic landmarks, have been allowed to decay and then suddenly they're declared unsafe.
And then here come the bulldozers.
So we go there, we go to the Congressa Halle, the Congress Hall, which is like the Coliseum in Rome, only it's so big you could put the Coliseum down into the grassy area in the horseshoe shape.
This place has a sad history.
It was going to be the seat of government for Germany, and all the government offices were going to be there, but the war demanded the manpower and the raw material, so it was unfinished.
It was being used as a field hospital by the Germans.
And when the war ended and Germany surrendered, the U.S. Army took over that area.
And they went through the hospital and they found 17 guys that were waffen-SS, which were the cream of the crop of the German combat soldiers.
And they dragged them out of their sick beds into the courtyard and just shot them dead on the spot.
Shameful.
Then we go up and visit the Castle Griffenstein, which was the ancestral home of the Von Stauffenberg family.
If you remember, it was absolutely.
Yeah, Klaus von Stauffenberg tried to blow up Hitler and played by Tom Cruise.
And that was not his castle.
It belonged to his uncle.
But his uncle, anybody even closely related or associated with von Stauffenberg and that plot, was tortured and most of them were killed, like 2,000 of them.
So his uncle Bertold was tortured to death.
Hold on right there.
You visited that castle.
There comes the music.
Harry is a radio pro with his long-standing appearances with Jeff Rinz every month.
But we will be right back.
More from Harry Cooper, fresh off the plane from Europe.
He's telling you what he saw over the course of the last couple of weeks.
Stay tuned.

Back with Harry Cooper, and this is literally no exaggeration, folks.
If Harry Cooper, so many appearances on this program, you should by now, if you're a regular listener, be familiar with his backstory, who he is, how shark hunters came to be.
We just did a gloss over of the Cliff's notes of the mission of the organization.
But if Harry had a three-hour show as we do, once a week, three hours, as we do, and all he did in those three hours was tell you stories about the people he've met, he's met and the things he's seen and done as the president of Shark Hunters, he would never cover the entire story.
So it's impossible for us in an hour of commercial talk radio to just really do him justice because he met and befriended.
I don't think, well, I don't think I know, I know there's not an American alive today who personally befriended and spent time in the homes of more German World War II veterans than the man who is our guest right now, Harry Cooper.
Not just, I mean, listen, if I could just meet the lowliest private of the Wehrmacht and thank him for his service, I would think that was a wonderful thing.
I mean, Harry has met with the skippers of these U-boats.
I mean, people who have literally had movies and books written about their careers.
This was just people he would stay with when he would go over there.
And he has so many stories he could tell about all of these individuals.
And we've done that.
And you need to learn more by going to his website.
Norm McDonald, the comedian, Saturday Night Live comedian, said, and we've told this joke before, but that he was astonished when he went through thousands of years of history and learned that the good guys won every war.
Of course, the joke being, of course, that the victors write the history.
And thankfully, we have people like Harry who go and seek out the truth.
And the victors not only write the history, they also write the definition of a war criminal and backdate it to the beginning of the war.
The old ex post facto routine.
It wasn't illegal yesterday, but we make it illegal today and backdate it so that what you did yesterday was a crime.
Same thing.
You know, all the war heroes were on the Allied side.
All the war criminals were on the Axis side.
Now, excluding the Japanese, they were horrible people.
And some bitches ought to rot in hell for what they did to our prisoners.
But the Germans were decent to our prisoners.
And many of the guys became friends after the war.
What was their character, Harry?
The character of the German veterans you met.
And I want to get back to your recent trip because that's what you're on tonight.
I want you to continue on with the things that you led your tour to see and your experiences there just this past few weeks.
But the average German veteran that you met honorable, decent guys, hard fighters.
Remember, I'm an old fart.
I was a kid during the war years.
I was born one day after Germany marched into Poland in 1939.
I just turned 85 last month.
They were honorable.
They did their duty.
And we were told when I was a kid that U-boaters would machine gun survivors in the water.
That never happened.
It makes great propaganda, and you got to hate the enemy.
Otherwise, you can't talk your soldiers into killing the other guy if they knew they went to the same church and were decent guys like you.
But, for instance, Captain Peter Chalamedos was one of our members.
He was skipper of a merchant ship that got sunk in the North Atlantic by a U-boat.
And while they were bobbing around in the lifeboats, the submarine came to the surface, cruised alongside his lifeboat.
And the skipper asked if anybody needed medical help.
And fortunately, nobody was hurt.
So the U-boat skipper passed over a compass and gave him directions on how to steer to get to the closest land.
And then he said, I'd like to give you some fresh water, but our desalinator is down.
So can I give you a couple cases of beer instead?
And Reinhard Hardegen, the guy who sank the first ship in American waters, he was a friend of mine for years.
He said, our mission was to sink ships, not to kill men.
So, you know, these guys, a couple of them sought each other out.
Harold McMillan was a gunnery officer on an American merchant ship that got sunk by a German U-boat.
He hunted out that U-boat skipper years and years after the war.
They became best friends.
And when we had a patrol convention in Chicago, they both were there.
They both appeared on Chicago TV with me.
So, you know, the only good war is the one that never happens.
Now, here, here.
And I'm not going to say here.
I'm not sure I'm a veteran of a lot of stuff.
Four years Air Force, 12 years Coast Guard auxiliary, and five years CIA.
You know, but war is horrible.
You know, this is something that I bring.
I'm sorry to overstep you here, but, you know, you see, for instance, statistics.
U-boat number so-and-so was sunk and 55 men went down with the ship and died.
Okay, 55 men, that's a number on a list.
No, it's 55 mothers and fathers who are brokenhearted because their son is dead.
It's 55 Thanksgiving tables that have an empty chair.
It's 55 Christmases that have an empty chair around the Christmas tree.
And as you know, James, my 20-year-old son was killed when he was 20, many years ago, but it was only yesterday.
So statistics, Joseph Stalin said, when one man is killed, it's a tragedy.
When 5 million are killed, it's a statistic.
No, it ain't a statistic.
It's individual people who died, really, for something other than what they were told.
Okay, I'll get off my political soapbox.
No, well, thank you for saying that.
Keith?
I was going to say that what Harry does is he fleshes out and brings up and makes real all of this so-called revisionist history that all sorts of court historians want us to believe, you know, like the Germans are awful people and whatnot.
He can do so much by, you know, bringing real life people, giving them a microphone, letting them tell us what's going on.
Which he did with all of these books and the Luftwaffe and the U-boatwaffe.
See, it's one thing for some historian to say, well, this wasn't right or this is crazy.
He took their stories and put it into print.
He had to take their stories and basically backed up the revisionist historians that told you that really I tell people that as far as I'm concerned, World War II was started by a war-mongering maniac, but that war-mongering maniac was Churchill, not Hitler.
No question about it.
No question about it.
And let's not forget that the same two guys gave us World War I, they gave us World War II, Churchill and Roosevelt.
That's right.
How about that?
Churchill liked to play with toy soldiers on his bed, but he was a terrible real general.
He was the only Allied general that lost a major engagement to the Ottoman Turks in World War I.
I heard about that.
But he was the first sea lord, and Roosevelt was the Secretary of the Navy in World War I.
They bring up Churchill.
You know, Tucker Carlson just had a very interesting interview with Daryl Cooper about this.
And in light of that, or in response to that, the American Free Press, to which all three of us subscribe, just ran the transcript of an interview that we did with Pat Buchanan on this show about Churchill, Hitler, and the unnecessary war.
But that is a whole other, well, I guess it's certainly a related topic.
Well, what Harry is doing is he's giving reality to the theories that people have.
And God bless you for doing that because the truth will eventually come out some way.
And Harry, you've done a lot to make the truth come out.
We've got a quick question before the break.
And then when we come back, we do need to go back and wrap up some of the things you saw on your most recent trip.
Question, though, from a listener in real time right now, an attorney, no less, in Washington, D.C., who's a longtime friend of ours.
He wants to know if you ever met Adolph Galand.
No, I never met him, but he was a member of Shark Hunters.
We wrote back and forth.
He sent me a photo.
All the veterans sent me photos, but his wife also put a little note in.
Please remit $10 for this photo.
Everybody else just sent us photos, but I never met him in person.
But Gunter Rawl, the third most successful fighter pilot ever in history, I spent a day in his home with him.
He was a character.
But most of the guys I met were U-Boat veterans.
Kratchmer, the top of them all.
I studied him in high school, and we met.
They gave me a sleeping room in his house.
He and his wife said I was a member of their family.
Erich Topp, the third most successful guy.
I've been in and out of his home umptezillion times.
Hess, the youngest commander, was my best friend in Germany.
The list goes on.
And all these books in the U-Boat series, there's 18 of them in the U-Boat series.
Every chapter is a different memory of a different veteran, mostly Germans, but some Americans, some Brits, even a couple of Russians in there.
What, you know, the battle shows this boat was doing this and they were firing at this one.
But what was the guy doing on the boat?
What was the skipper thinking?
So that's what you're doing.
You'll find out.
I tell you what, you'll find out because Harry personally interviewed all of these veterans and put their unedited stories into these books, which is why they have been such popular Christmas fundraising incentives for this listening audience.
We'll be right back.
He's America's top publisher of the books the other guys are too afraid to touch, providing you with the information you need to challenge the status quo.

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.
Well, welcome back, everybody.
Every time we have Harry on, it's just so rewarding.
It's just, it feels good.
It feels good to be able to have a guy like this on to tell stories like this because nobody else, I mean, nobody else can tell these stories.
People can say, well, I read in a book, I read this, I heard that.
No, Harry talked to the veterans themselves and captured their stories, and that's a big part of shark hunters.
And I can tell you from that convention that we had back in May, he has a charismatic personality.
Everybody, I didn't find one person that had anything negative to say about his presentation.
I had people that might nitpick someone else, but Harry, everybody is truly wild about Harry.
No, they are enamored.
Well, I mean, nobody else can tell stories like Harry.
I think we can.
I've been in all honesty.
It's because I'm old and I have, you know, I'm older than most, and I've lived it.
And I learned from, you know, I packed a lot in my 85 years.
Well, I will say that, my friend, you've got your money's worth, and I hope there's still many.
And you're doing the Lord's work.
You know, you're also just like George Patton, probably the most decorated American general in World War II.
He said, we made a terrible mistake.
He said, we should have allied ourselves with the fascists to fight the communists rather than aligning ourselves with the communists.
What about the fascists?
The war was about to make the world safe for communism and wokeism.
Let me pick up on that, if I can interrupt.
We're just now breaking a story that representatives of the United States, England, Italy, and Germany got together while the war was going on to see if there was any way they could stop fighting each other, all form together, and turn east and go against the Russian bear.
Everybody was in favor except the U.S.
And so, but can you imagine England, U.S., Germany, Italy, all suddenly becoming aligned and going after Russia?
That's exactly what we would have had a much better history since World War II if that had happened.
Right, but it was the U.S. that nixed it.
Although, somewhat ironically, because of communism, they were inoculated from Western liberalism, and now they're the ones who may be the key to white civilization.
That's right.
So, I don't know.
It's a weird thing.
Harry, we've got just a few minutes remaining already, and I just want to say how popular you are.
The last two Christmas gift incentives have involved your products, books, and signed photos from these German veterans.
And never in the 20-year history of this program have we had two been more popular.
To get these signed photos that Harry makes available at sharkcunters.com from these Luftwaffe and Wehrmacht and U-Boatwaffe veterans is just, you can't get them anywhere else like that.
Anyway, Harry, we've got, let's just wrap up again.
A big part of the program at Shark Hunters are these annual tours or patrols as you call them of Germany.
You go to all the sites that you can see from the Third Reich era.
You were telling us earlier in the hour some of the sites you visited on this particular trip, and that's what we're focusing on right now.
Wrap that up in about two or three minutes because I've got one more question I want to ask you.
Okay, no problem.
Quickly, from the Nuremberg area, we went down to Bechsgaden, which is almost on the Austrian border, and we visited the ruins of the remains of Hitler's home.
And we go to the escape door that he had in his air raid bunker, which most people don't even know where to find it.
And to various other places, the ruins of the theater hall.
They had a huge theater hall, and it was ruined.
Snow broke it down.
They didn't have people to fix it.
And the most highly sought after, more or less, is the deep tunnel.
We walk on a trail through the forest for about a mile, and the trail is only about six inches wide.
And suddenly, bingo, on your right side, you see this eight foot by eight foot opening in the mountain.
And we go in about a half mile, and it takes a zig right and goes another quarter mile.
And it was built for Hitler's escape out of Berchtesgaden into Austria.
But the war ended.
He was not in Berchtesgaden.
So that was the end of that story.
And so much for the story about poor old slave laborers forced to dig these tunnels.
No, you don't trust some untrained farmhand with dynamite.
These were specialists.
They got paid for their work.
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
It was oppressed people, if you want to listen to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Spitlifters, as we call them.
It was all impoverished, enslaved people.
Baloney.
So we and we go down into Austria a little bit, and we take a day to just roam around in Salzburg, which is a beautiful, beautiful city.
We go to Hangar 7, which is owned by Red Bull, which is an Austrian company, not a U.S. company.
And they've got a Navy Corsair in there, a P-38 Lightning, and a B-25 bomber.
And they've also got a P-51 Mustang.
And they fly these birds.
They take them out every once in a while and they fly them.
And if we get there at the right day, we can watch these things fly.
Unfortunately, we go to the documentation center, which is a nice way of saying a propaganda place, but that's the only place we can visit the tunnels and bunkers under Berchtesgaden now.
So we go there.
We go to Koenigsee, and we ride a beautiful boat out to the end of Koenigsee, and we go.
You've probably seen pictures of Hitler standing by this giant rock at the edge of a lake.
Well, we go by that rock, and everybody has to have their picture taken.
It's just fantastic.
And as I say, if you're listeners, send me an email, sharkhunters at sharkhunters.com.
We'll send them the current issue of the magazine.
And as we post our photos and videos, which I'll be doing next week, they'll get to see them all.
And we're going again next year.
Next year, not too early to start making your travel plans for a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
Harry's not going to live forever, so you better catch it while he's still around.
Wait a minute, what do you mean I'm not going to live forever?
No, you're never going to take a tour like that with anyone but Harry, that's for sure.
And you can start thinking about it for next year already, once-in-a-lifetime type of thing.
And then, Harry, I know you were going to visit the Eagle's Nest a few days ago, but you ran into some global warming, did you not?
Yeah.
Unfortunately, early September, they've never had snow on that mountain.
That's Kelstein Mountain.
They've never had snow in early September on Kelstein Mountain.
They had three feet of snow.
They had to close the eagle's nest, and then they had an avalanche, I guess, that destroyed some of the safety rails on the road going up.
So they're probably not going to open until springtime again.
But yeah, that global warming stuff, boy, oh boy, it's freezing us to death here.
Blizzard in September, early September.
That part of Europe.
And we froze our fannies off up there.
Folks, do sign up.
Buy a product, become a member, plan a trip.
It can all be done at sharkhunters.com.
If you want to email Harry directly, sharkhunters with an S, sharkhunters at sharkhunters.com.
And Harry will get that.
And it could not come with a more glowing endorsement than I can give you here.
But Harry, we got about two minutes left.
Well, you're welcome, brother.
And I appreciate you all over these years.
We've met you before the show started, so we've known each other a long time.
Oh, and I'm thankful for these last few years where we've reconnected in the way that we have.
But about a minute left here, and we're going to continue on this in the next hour before we get a recap from John Hill on the follow-up from last week's show.
But Harry, you have an affinity and an appreciation for seafarers.
We celebrate one this week on Monday as Columbus Day.
And you know, Christopher Columbus gets treated not very much any different than the people that seek to restore honor to.
What connection could you draw there?
Well, he was a racist and an enslaver, if you want to listen to the looney birds.
And, you know, he opened the door.
He wasn't the first one to find North America, apparently, but he opened the door for trade over here, for settlement.
We wouldn't be here in this country, probably, if it wasn't for him.
Well, maybe later on, but he opened the door.
And one other thing on this trip, we have dinner one night in a restaurant that was in business before Christopher Columbus was born.
They've been in business since 1419.
And we go there and we have dinner once during our tour.
Oh, wouldn't that be something?
Do you not want to go?
I wasn't even doing this as like an infomercial, but are you not sold yet?
Yeah, I mean, this, man, man, man.
Folks, you got to do it.
You got to do it.
We have so much fun, and it's affordable.
I had a buddy that used to do paratrooper trips like my touring trips, and he'd figure how much it cost per man.
Then he would add $1,000 per person.
And he told me I should do the same.
I said, I couldn't look at the guy in the mirror if I did that.
I add a few bucks to each person so that I don't have to pay for myself.
Other than that, as you know, I don't make a salary.
Nobody at Shark Hunters makes a salary, makes any money at all in any way, shape, or form.
I'm an old friend.
I'm living on my retirement.
And I'm living in a house that we paid $35,000 for 40 years ago.
And my luxury Rolls-Royce that everybody thinks I have is a 20-something-year-old pickup truck with 298.
$38,000.
Yeah, 298,000 miles on it.
Yeah, you saw it when we met for breakfast a while ago.
And in South Carolina, you drove it all the way up to South Carolina.
You didn't even fly there for that one.
You drove up from Ocala.
But the Ocala area.
Harry, we love you.
Thank you so much, my friend.
Glad you made it home safe.
Glad your wife and son are fine and the hurricanes didn't bother you too much.
And thanks for coming on tonight.
