	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.
	It's not just its turn.
	Yonder peasant who is living where and what is dwelling.
	Silent leaves are golden glence underneath the mountain.
	Rise high against the forest fence, voice and darkness far.
	That hymn, Good King Wincesless, is so good and so stirring.
	It will make you feel something.
	This is our people at our finest.
	This is the faith of our fathers.
	This is a beautiful song for such a beautiful time of year, this Christmas season.
	Upon us once again, this is our 21st Christmas together here on TPC.
	Can you believe it, folks?
	And I could have chosen a version of that song that you could understand, but it just sounds so much better with that traditional English choir.
	The two verses that we just heard, the text, Good King Winselessless looked out on the feast of Stephen, when the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even.
	Brightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel, when a poor man came in sight, gathering winter fuel.
	And then the king says, Hither, page, and stand by me, if thou know it telling.
	Yonder peasant, who is he?
	Where and what his dwelling?
	And then the page responds, the young boy, sire, he lives a good league hence underneath the fountain, right against the forest fence by St. Agnes Fountain.
	Beautiful, beautiful music.
	We'll continue to play at this hour when we bring back to you now our good friend, our dear good friend, Harry Cooper, the president of Shark Hunters for more years than even we've been around, about twice as many, in fact.
	And due to audience demand, ladies and gentlemen, we are teaming up this Christmas season once again with Harry Cooper for the third time in four years.
	In fact, Shark Hunters will be supplying the incentive gifts for TPC's all-important Christmas fundraising drive.
	And the man himself, the president himself, President Harry Cooper of Shark Hunters, is back with us this hour to make the official announcement and provide additional information about that.
	But before we get into any of that business area, I just want to say welcome back, number one, and Merry Christmas, number two.
	And not exactly in that order.
	Welcome on to the show again, and Merry Christmas to everybody out there.
	And that used to get me in trouble.
	A few years ago, remember, the stores were not allowed to say Merry Christmas.
	They had to say happy holidays.
	I got thrown out of a couple stores because I caused such a stink when they wouldn't say Merry Christmas.
	That has relaxed a little bit.
	As a matter of fact, I was driving through Bartlett the other day, Keith, a suburb of Memphis.
	It's its own town.
	It's got its own, that's where I grew up.
	It's got its own mayor and alderman.
	And it's one of the bigger cities in Tennessee now.
	But it used to be known as just a suburb of Memphis.
	And they're on the top of the fire station.
	They've got the cross and the nativity scene there at the bottom.
	So, yeah, you still can find that here in America.
	And hopefully you'll find it everywhere again as we once did.
	The pendulum has swung back from peak imbecility.
	We hope.
	Well, not quite, but maybe it's coming back in our direction.
	We'll do more.
	But, Harry, you know, it is so great to have you back.
	We've talked about it.
	I mean, I met Harry Cooper.
	I've told you this story.
	I mean, Harry's been on the show so many times.
	I doubt there's too many stories we haven't told before, at least too many stories about Harry that I haven't told you.
	There's a lot of stories Harry could probably tell you about his experiences with the German vets that we haven't gotten to, but we've done the best we can with the time we've got during each of his appearances.
	But I will just tell you again that I met Harry for the first time in the spring of 2004.
	Yes, if you do the math, that was actually about seven or eight months before the very first broadcast of this radio program.
	So my knowledge and friendship with Harry Cooper even predates the 21 years we've been on the air.
	And for all of those 21 years, I have just been amazed and mesmerized.
	This is a man.
	This is the man who has done more than any other American, truly, any other American, alive or dead, to tell the truth about the German veterans of World War II.
	There is nobody else who has done it more.
	There is nobody else who has done it better.
	There's nobody else who has done it longer.
	How many years now for shark hunters, Harry?
	We're coming on number 43.
	As soon as we hit February, it'll be 43 years.
	I walked off a job as vice president of a fairly fair-sized company to do shark hunters at no salary, no income, nothing.
	But I met all these great guys and, you know, the raving, screaming, horrible Nazis that we were told about in the war years.
	Yes, I was alive during World War II.
	I was a kid.
	And we were told there were horrible, terrible Nazis, and there wasn't a horrible thing they couldn't have done that we weren't told about.
	And it's all fiction.
	You can't.
	The horrible thing they did, Harry, was this.
	They basically circumvented Jewish finance under Hitler and created a prosperous nation without it.
	Well, Germany was on its way to becoming a world leader in so many things, culture, art.
	We have about a zillion videotapes that we have up on our Patreon platform, but we also have little short one and two minute long clips of them.
	The sport, the classical music, the art, it's just beautiful.
	And no, we were told they were all horrible Nazis.
	And you can, well, of course, the Southern Poverty Law Center says that I'm a Nazi.
	Dummies.
	Ronald Reagan didn't, though.
	Of all people, Ronald Reagan endorsed your group.
	He was a member of Shark Hunters.
	I got to tell you, I got to read this.
	We've read this before.
	I just got to read this.
	Well, continue on with your story.
	And then I want to get into a couple of the incentives that we've offered in the past and what we're offering this time and how it differs for this Christmas fundraising draft for TPC.
	And you'll be helping us.
	You'll be helping shark hunters.
	You'll be helping us stay on the air.
	You'll be helping shark hunters continue its mission.
	But continue on with your story, and then I'm going to get to some of the other endorsements that you've received that might be.
	Well, yeah, and I didn't even know until just recently when I finally was contacted by a guy who was a German agent, I mean, still serving right now.
	He's a younger guy in his 50s.
	Ronald Reagan was a member of Shark Hunters from 1991 until his passing.
	He became friends with Gorbachev.
	I didn't even know this all took place until just recently.
	Because in 1991, all of a sudden, my fax machine came on.
	There was no email back in those days.
	Bopity bop bop bop.
	And it's from the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Navy inviting me to Moscow in December of 91.
	What the heck?
	It's okay, so I went over there.
	Well, I found out, like I say, Ronald Reagan convinced Gorbachev to have me over there.
	Gorbachev ordered Fleet Admiral Vladimir Chernyevin ordered him to invite me over.
	Chernyevin invited me over.
	They gave me an apartment for two weeks in Moscow.
	I was important because I had toilet paper.
	I didn't get a roll of toilet paper.
	I just had eight squares of toilet paper sitting on the shelf next to the John.
	But Ronald Reagan helped open the door.
	And of course, the CIA wanted pictures of admirals and stuff.
	But the Russians are not raving lunatics either.
	They're no different than anybody else.
	And during a roundtable discussion where there was a bunch of admirals all seated, and I was standing with my translator, who I found out later was high-level GRU, Naval Intelligence.
	Each admiral asked me a question about submarine history.
	But all the time, this one admiral right across the table from me was just glaring at me with icy eyes.
	It came time for him to ask a question.
	And instead of asking about submarine history, he asked, Why are you here?
	And you know me, James.
	I don't back off from nothing.
	I pointed right at him.
	I said, I'm told you're my enemy.
	He got very stiff in his chair.
	I said, but you were told that I'm the enemy.
	And he agreed.
	And I said, I don't see an enemy.
	I see a man like myself who wants his family to grow up in peace and prosperity.
	He agreed.
	I said, let's drink with Pepsi, a great American invention.
	Go with Woodka, a great Russian invention.
	They all ripped all their medals off their jackets and pinned them on my jacket.
	Hold on, right, they will be right back.
	God tells us about 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 alive online.
	And I invite you to gather with our congregation to study God's Holy Word.
	Join us every Sunday at thetemplarchurch.com, and especially on the first Sunday of the month for Holy Communion.

	Bring me flesh and bring me wine.
	Bring me pine logs with me better than the wind for the wins of killer.
	Through the woodworks of waves, when the peace away sudden noise is dark enough, and the wind blasts dull.
	Fills my heart.
	I know I can run along.
	Mark my footsteps, good.
	Twitter in them both me.
	Thou shalt find the winter's wage.
	Trees like blood's best for night time.
	I don't know if it's just that I'm getting a little older now.
	Maybe that shouldn't impact me so much, but those lyrics, bring me food and bring me wine.
	The Christian king says, bring me pine logs hither.
	You and I shall see him dine when we bear them thither.
	Page and monarch, forth they went, forth they went together through the cold wind's wild lament and the bitter weather.
	Then the young page says to the Christian king, Sire, the night is darker now and the winds blow stronger.
	Fails my heart, I know not how I can go no longer.
	Then the king says, Mark my footsteps, good my page.
	Tread now in them boldly.
	You shall find the winner's rage freeze your blood less coldly as they take this fuel, winner's fuel, logs for the fire, and food to one of the peasant subjects of this king.
	In the lyrics of Good King Winston's List written by John Mason Neal in 1853.
	Harry, again, I don't know, Keith, my friends, I don't know.
	But there's something about this time of year and lyrics like that that just wants you to bring our people together.
	And Harry, that is what you have done with shark hunters for over 40 years.
	Yep, I try.
	I try.
	I just absolutely hate a lie.
	And that's what our history has been.
	It's carefully crafted fiction.
	World War II, especially.
	I mean, that's my area of expertise.
	And carefully crafted fiction.
	Total lies.
	Germans were all horrible monsters, we were told, and not true.
	You know, you can't tell your sergeant can't tell the truth.
	The guy on the other side of the battlefield, he goes to the same church you do.
	He's got a family like you have, and he's a decent guy.
	Now I want you to go kill him.
	You couldn't have a war if you did that.
	And it's just sad that there are so many blockheads who just won't believe, you know, so I just keep writing.
	And then, like I say, the Spitlickers, which is what we call the Southern Poverty Law Center, Spitlickers, keep coming up and saying that I'm a Nazi and we're a hate group, etc., etc.
	Well, I think specifically they have called you, and we have probably been on the hate group list since 2005.
	It took us six months to land there.
	We've been there ever since.
	It didn't take us long.
	We've been on there a lot longer than it took us to land there.
	But I believe that they actually call you a neo-Nazi tour guide and memorabilia merchant.
	But I'll tell you what somebody else says about you, and that is Admiral Frank Kelso.
	Now, this was the chief naval officer of the United States Navy.
	He's retired, of course, but he may be dead now.
	He's done.
	He was the commander-in-chief.
	The commander-in-chief of the United States Navy, Admiral Frank Kelso, wrote this about Harry Cooper and Shark Hunters, specifically about the book that kicked off this now Christmas tradition on TPC of offering shark hunters goods as our Christmas gift incentive for the Christmas fundraising drive.
	But so four years ago now, we offered as a Christmas gift incentive a copy of the book U-Boat, Stories from the Men of the U-Boat WAFA.
	Now, this was a book that included the personal stories and reflections and remembrances of the men who fought in World War II at sea, mostly from the German side, but you had some other people included in the book as well.
	It was written by the men who were there.
	It was their memories.
	It was their words, okay?
	So it's an incredible book.
	And Harry Cooper.
	The chapter is a different memory of a different guy.
	Indeed, indeed.
	And it's, again, the whole purpose of Shark Hunters is to, and this is their mission statement, to bring former enemies together as friends without propaganda.
	Now, before the last break, Harry was telling us a little bit about a trip to Russia that he had, but he's spent so much time in Germany, so many years in Germany, guiding tours and bringing Americans together, and in many cases, American veterans of World War II together with German veterans of World War II and the other combatants as well.
	But this was their story.
	Indeed, they did.
	They did.
	Their memoirs, okay, from the U-Boat.
	And we offered that along with signed photos of these men who survived the war and became members of Shark Hunters and signed photos for Harry.
	But this is what the Admiral Frank Kelso said about this book that we gave four years ago as our fundraising incentive.
	Admiral Frank Kelso of the U.S. Navy wrote, I found the stories of this book with great interest and recommend 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 it as reading as a reminder never again to get enveloped in such a conflict.
	So that was, I mean, the chief naval officer of the United States Navy endorsing this book.
	So, and the work of Harry Cooper.
	But this is what you've done, Harry.
	This is what you've done for over 40 years.
	You've told the truth without propaganda, with a mission being to bring former enemies together as friends, because at the end of the day, we are all one people.
	If you're part of this race of ours, we are either brothers or cousins.
	But if you are white, if you're part of the Western world, Western civilization, you are one family, and we best remember that.
	And no people have been more maligned than the Germans of World War II, the World War II-era Germans.
	And nobody has done more work to, well, as our friends at the Barnes Review like to say, put history into accord with the facts than Harry Cooper on this topic.
	So again, Harry, back to you, and then we're going to get to the topic at hand, which is our incentive this year.
	But back to you for more stories.
	And remember, the guy who founded the Barnes Review, Willis Cartel, was a member of Shark Hunters from 1987 until his passing.
	And I of mine, everyone.
	You and I were with Willis.
	The day I met you, Willis was there too.
	Right.
	We used to live in Tampa a long time ago, and he used to own a radio station in St. Petersburg.
	And every time he'd come down to St. Pete, he'd come across the bay, and we'd meet at this nice Cuban restaurant.
	And then later on, we're living up in Hillbelly Heaven, Florida now.
	And he used to come down to visit people in Jacksonville.
	And he and I get together in St. Augustine and have burgers and beer up on the second floor outside balcony of the A1A alehouse looking over the intercoastal waterway.
	He was a great guy, but the Spitlickers said he was a Nazi.
	And I think at one time they said he never even served in the military.
	Yet the Jap sniper that put a hole in him in Okinawa is buried in Arlington Cemetery, for God's sake.
	I mean there now.
	Well, you don't expect the Spitlickers to tell the truth now, do you?
	No, not quite.
	You know, they still only have about half a billion dollars in offshore funds, but they've fallen on hard times in terms of credibility, but not soon enough, Keith.
	Yeah, there's a difference between a call girl and a streetwalker.
	They expect and get well paid for everything they do.
	You know, they say we're expensive, but we're worth it.
	Oh, okay.
	I wouldn't know, but the Spitlickers, yeah, they're one of the most corrupt outfits going, but they got money on top of money.
	So I finally got an attorney, a young guy, just got barred, as they say when they pass the bar.
	And he's ready to tackle the Southern Poverty Law Center for us on a commission basis.
	Well, you know, they have lost before.
	I mean, Richard Mack has won some cases.
	I mean, you know, it's tough.
	It's tough in the criminally corrupt courts.
	And this is a total aside from the purpose of your conversation tonight.
	And I have, boy, I had an interesting run in a libel lawsuit.
	But, yeah, it's tough.
	But, you know, it all depends on the venue and the judge.
	And if you can get that one in a million who values the law instead of cocktail party invitations, then maybe you got a chance.
	But nevertheless, nevertheless, Harry, back to your stories.
	I mean, you met so many of the warriors of World War II.
	I mean, we couldn't even begin.
	We could have you on, as Jeff Rinz does, every month for an hour.
	We could have you on every show.
	You could have your own show.
	You could have your own show for three hours every Saturday night, and you would never get it.
	You would never get it done.
	I mean, I'm just saying you could have the Harry Cooper show for three hours a week, every week, for 20 years.
	You could never tell all the stories.
	You've been in their homes.
	You've met them.
	Again, you have done more.
	Greatest submarine commander of the war.
	Otto Kretschmer said that I was a member of this family and I had a sleeping room in the Kretschmer home in Germany.
	Well, and then, and then, and then, Hess, you know, Hess, the submarine commander who was going out there, we offered this as an incentive earlier in the year.
	But, I mean, you've been there with all of them.
	And I say again, and I hear the music, we got to take another break.
	We're about to get into what the incentive is for this time.
	But you have done more to humanize these human beings in almost every case, these good men than anyone, alive or dead, in America ever has.
	We'll be right back.
	And I'm thankful for it.

	A software fix has airlines around the world canceling and delaying flights.
	Correspondent Donna Warder reports.
	Both U.S. and European aviation safety agencies are requiring airlines to install a software update on the Airbus family of A320 aircraft.
	Airbus said Friday that the examination of a jet blue plane that suddenly dropped in altitude last month revealed that intense solar radiation may corrupt data critical to functioning of flight controls.

	In Sri Lanka, the death toll has risen to more than 130 from heavy floods and mudslides caused by a cyclone.
	The death toll is expected to rise.
	Sri Lanka has been buttered by severe weather since last week, and the conditions worsened on Thursday with heavy downpools that flooded homes, fields, and roads and triggered landslides mainly in the central hills.
	Nearly 78,000 people have been displaced and are in temporary shelters.
	AP footage showed homes submerged in floodwaters in Malwana, Sri Lanka on Sunday.
	Locals waded through the water as relief teams navigated the inundated roads on boats distributing food to stranded households.
	Authorities say that Cyclone Detroit, which develops in the seas east of Sri Lanka, is likely to move toward India's southern coast by Sunday.

	President Trump says he will grant a full pardon to ex-Hondurian leader Juan Orlando Hernandez, who is serving a 45-year U.S. prison sentence for drug trafficking and weapons charges.
	The president said Hernandez was treated very harshly and ties the move to support for Honduras' conservative candidate ahead of upcoming elections.

	There are other versions of that hymn not sang by an English choir, sung by an English choir where you could understand the words a little bit better.
	But that last stanza, again, the story in this song is the Christian king takes his young page.
	The Christian king sees a peasant starving, cold, out there in this brutal winter that we're entering into.
	And he calls his page.
	The page tells the king where he lives.
	And the king gathers firewood and food and they move across the landscape.
	And the young boy is freezing and the king comforts him.
	And then in that last stanza, it reads, In his master's steps he trod where the snow lay dented.
	Heat was in the very sod which the saint had printed.
	Therefore, Christian men be sure, while God's gifts possessing, you who now will bless the poor shall yourselves find blessing.
	And, well, that's where we come in, Keith.
	No, seriously, but.
	There's a little aside here.
	Are you aware back in those days you were not allowed to cut down trees or anything because the trees all belonged to the king.
	So any wood you gathered for your stove or your furnace, whatever, that had broken off and was laying on the ground.
	That's why it says he's gathering, not cutting.
	He's gathering winter fuel because you couldn't cut it down.
	How interesting is that?
	And that is the rest of the story, according to Harry Cooper.
	Hold on, you got your mic off, Keith.
	What I was going to say is that they also, you know, couldn't kill deer or even rabbits and things like that.
	Exactly.
	Interesting.
	Very interesting.
	The more you know.
	It's not just World War II history here.
	I mean, these are smart guys.
	Harry Cooper.
	When you get to be an old fire like me, you learn a lot.
	I don't know if it's going to get that cold in Ocala this year, Harry, but nevertheless, I'll look forward to seeing you at the cracker barrel again the next time we're down that way.
	Indeed.
	Well, listen, my friend, we have done so many.
	Folks, if you're interested in this topic at all, and I know that you are, I know that you are because these have been the most popular Christmas fundraising drives we have ever done, the ones that have featured shark hunters.
	And if you go to thepoliticals, org, of course, and go to our broadcast archives, just type in the name Harry Cooper, and you can find all of his appearances.
	And in several of those appearances, we really get into just his story, just his interactions with some of the German veterans.
	And tonight's a little bit more business-oriented with the fundraising drive.
	But we get into it all.
	Of course, you can go to sharkhunters.com as well, become a member.
	I am, and support their work there.
	Many, many years.
	Indeed.
	Well, I've known you for a long time.
	If I was born the day I met you, I would be old enough to drink.
	So that's a minute anyway.
	So here it is, is that four years ago, we did this incentive, this Christmas fundraising drive, where we offered the book U-Boat, Stories from the Men of the U-Boat Waffa, and we offered a signed photograph of one of the German veterans.
	It was four years ago our most popular fundraising drive in the history of the program.
	It was so popular, we said, we need to do this again.
	Can we do it again?
	And we did the very next year.
	So this was a couple of years ago now, a couple of years ago.
	And we did sort of the same book, but it was called When Eagles Soared, and it was the remembrances of the Luftwaffe pilots.
	And we did that book, same book as before, but just the pilots instead of the submariners.
	And we did signed photographs from members of the Luftwaffe.
	I mean, the real guys, men of history.
	Yeah.
	And then last year.
	Not signed, not photocopied, hand-signed.
	And you were with all of these men often, in most cases, when they signed these things, you knew every single one of these men personally.
	That's how you procured the signatures.
	Right.
	One of our members gave the suggestion, and I followed through.
	I wrote to all our military veteran members and said, hey, please send us one photo of you in your uniform.
	I'll make 100 photos of you, send 100 plus yours back to you.
	You hand sign the 100 and send them back to us.
	And that's what they did.
	There were only two guys who said no.
	One was Captain Hardigan, who said he's had enough of war.
	The other was Otto van Bulo, what a wonderful man, but he was so crippled up with arthritis, he couldn't even hold a fork, so he couldn't sign him.
	Everybody else signed.
	And when you say everybody else, I mean, you're talking about dozens and dozens of veterans, German veterans.
	It wasn't just, you know, one or two.
	So again, you know, people may say, well, I did, you know, I contributed to a similar incentive, you know, a couple of years ago, three years ago.
	We got the photo card.
	Well, you may have gotten one of the photo cards, but you are very unlikely to get the same one twice because Harry did this with so many of the veterans.
	And I'm not talking about just, I mean, look, even the nameless private, I go to one of these Confederate cemeteries, you know, these graves of the unknown soldiers.
	There's nobody unknown in a war.
	I mean, every one of them are greater men than I'll ever be.
	Even if they didn't have great accolades, even the lowest-tier private in the Confederate Army would be a man that I would salute and would, you know, just incredible.
	And the same thing goes for those veterans as well.
	But, I mean, in many cases, you got people who have had books and even movies made about them.
	I mean, you met all of the guys basically who survived.
	We have a saying also about no matter how high or how low the rank is, you went to the dance.
	That says it all.
	You went to the dance.
	That means you served.
	Indeed.
	And I tell you, you know, the later you served or whenever you served, there's no, listen, 100%, okay?
	But the later you served, I mean, the more risk it would be, especially with the case of the U-boats.
	I mean, just all of it, there's just so many incredible stories.
	Okay, so we did the U-Boats.
	They had the worst survival rate of any military ever in history.
	One man out of seven came home.
	And you've had people, you've had men who commanded these boats who at that time went out time and time and time again on successful missions.
	But we did this.
	I keep saying four years.
	This is our fourth year.
	So it was actually three years ago and two years ago.
	Three years ago for the U-Boat incentive.
	Two years ago for the Luftwaffe.
	Last year we did something different.
	But this year we're back on it again because it has been so popular.
	It has been with audience demand.
	And again, even if you've gotten one of these signed photos, you're going to get a different one this time.
	A different soldier with a brief, you know, his name and a brief description of his military service on the back side, his photo and a picture on the front side.
	But the book this time, the book, Harry, is different.
	So again, three years ago, U-Boat, stories from the men of the U-Boat Waffle.
	Two years ago, it was when Eagles swore.
	Last year we did Signed Hats, David Duke, and some other things.
	But this year, all new book for TPC listeners, Memories from the Front.
	Memories from the Front.
	So this illustrated book conveys the memories and the letters of the young soldiers to their families.
	And of course, we're talking about the German soldiers, to their families and their sweethearts while they were away from home, fighting on both fronts of World War II.
	And you say, well, you know, that sounds similar to the books you gave me before.
	No.
	We gave you a book that detailed these stories from U-Boat, a serviceman.
	We gave you a book that detailed these stories from members of the Luftwaffe.
	Memories from the front is different.
	Who is telling these stories?
	These are all the guys from the Waffen-SS.
	The Waffen-SS was the frontline combat soldiers.
	They were the green berets of the German military in the day.
	And they had horrible, horrible survival rates because they just didn't know how to quit.
	They were overmatched by the Russians.
	It's mostly against the Russians in this particular volume.
	And, you know, where they'd have a division coming out, the Russians would have five, six divisions against them.
	Because the Russians could lose a couple of million men this week, and so what?
	They had a couple of million more for next week, and they just overwhelmed these guys and the the the atrocities committed against them uh TITO, for instance.
	The TITO uh, partisans would never take prisoners.
	If they captured any of the German, the ss guys strip them naked, tie them up with barbed wire and they would drop them down a mine shaft.
	That went about 400 feet.
	Uh, and other times the soldiers would come out and see other Waffeness soldiers that had been sent out a day or two before, all stripped naked and tied up.
	Uh, so the Soviets were horrible.
	Hold on right.
	There's coming up again.
	Yeah, what music.
	And then we'll come back uh, with more details about our Christmas fundraising incentives.
	Give for 2025 memories from the front and a sign for us card.
	We've done it twice before, but not like this.
	Stay tuned.
	It is common for politicians, major media outlets and nonprofits to hype white on black murders aggressively or even claim that blacks are living in fear of white people lynched for simply being black.
	Hard to believe, but that's what was done and some people still want to do that.
	This is why National Conservative launched the interracial homicide tracking project.
	We have now documented well over 2000 confirmed interracial homicides since january 2023 and created the most comprehensive overview of these killings anyone has ever made.
	We plug the gaping holes in data left by other homicide trackers and government crime stats, rather than engaging in hyperbole and vitriolic rhetoric.
	Like everyone else, we are simply creating a massive sample size of empirical evidence so people can form rational and informed opinions about a sensitive and politically charged issue.

	The Baron made Snoopy fly to the rhyme and forced him to land behind the enemy lines.
	That this was the end By the bread They toast And Snoopy, our hero Saluted his host And then with a roar, they were both on their way.
	It's known they'd meet on some other day.
	Christmas bells, those Christmas bells, ringing through the land, bringing peace to all the world and good will to man.
	Well, you know, that brings to mind, of course, the Christmas truce of World War I, which is not what we're talking about right now.
	And I'm not entirely sure that the Red Baron had a Mexican accent.
	And the song he does.
	And the Royal Guardsman, Harry, and I want to Keith weigh in on this, and then we'll get back to the book at hand.
	But the Reds were Florida.
	I don't know what you're going to tell me.
	They were right there from your neck of the woods down there in Oakland.
	That's right.
	That's a little bit of a 20 miles away.
	20 miles to the west.
	Excuse me, 20 miles to the east of you.
	To the east of me, yeah, that's right.
	To the east.
	You're a little bit from closer to the ocean.
	Indeed.
	Well, hey, hey, you can't tell a guy that lives down there where these guys came from.
	They all know.
	Hey, let me throw in a little bit before we get rolling down the road here.
	If your listeners want to send me an email, sharkhunters at sharkhunters.com and say they heard this show, I'll send them the current issue of our monthly magazine.
	You get that, James, all the time.
	I sure do.
	And let me tell you something.
	Sharkhunters.com, folks, you can find it all.
	And again, Harry befriended all of these veterans.
	And he found out that, you know, truth is more fulfilling than fiction.
	Harry, you know, Harry actually, and he's told this story before on the program and in other interviews.
	Harry, you know, started out in life, you know, sort of believing all of the things you've ever heard about World War II and the German combatants.
	And then he got to know them and his world was turned upside down.
	So much so, in fact, that he's dedicated the last 40-plus years of his life to, well, what is the mission of Sharkhunters to bring former enemies together?
	Propaganda enemies together as friends.
	Without propaganda.
	And that is what he's done.
	And so, again, Harry, I mean, we have done this now.
	This is our third time in four years.
	We did it with the members of the U-Boat Waffle, members of the Luftwaffe.
	And now, though, here it is.
	Let me just lay it out, folks.
	We've been slow rolling this the entire hour.
	Here it is.
	If you donate at the tier that unlocks the incentive gifts during our most important Christmas fundraising drive, you're going to receive a copy of the book, Memories from the Front.
	This illustrated book, as I just said, conveys the memories and the letters of the soldiers of the SS to their families and their sweethearts while they're away from home.
	People might find that hard to believe that these people were human enough to do that, but you know the truth, Harry.
	And then if you unlock the second tier of our contributor ladder, you will receive a signed photo of one of these German veterans.
	But, you know, again, people, you know, the SS especially is demonized, but you did the research.
	You got to know some of these guys.
	You put this book together.
	People may find it shocking to know that they were human enough to send letters home to their parents and to their siblings and to their wives and girlfriends.
	They've been guests in my house.
	Living guests in my house.
	I'm telling DeSantis.
	I'm telling DeSantis about that.
	But no, I'm just kidding.
	But listen, so here it is.
	Memories from the Front.
	Why do they need this book?
	What will they get when they receive this book?
	It's the true story.
	Again, there's no plotline running through the whole book like a regular book.
	Each chapter is a separate stand-alone memory of a different soldier.
	Not so much letters home.
	That comes in one of our photo books.
	But here it tells how the different divisions were formed, how they fought.
	It also shows the human side of them caring for their buddies that were injured and the horrible outnumbered fights they were in all the time.
	I was in Uspienka, Ukraine some years ago where the 5th SS, the Viking Division, or Wiking as they pronounce it, confronted eight Soviet divisions, and they held their own for quite a while, but unfortunately they got overrun.
	So it's that kind of a story on the mechanized military, the weaponry, the guns, how they ambushed the Soviets, how the Soviets ambushed them, how they blew up bridges.
	They're day-to-day living in hell, more or less, because bullets were flying, bombs were going off.
	And each chapter is a separate stand-alone story by a different veteran.
	And that's what we got with the other two books, with the books of the members of the U-Boat, U-Boat Waffle, and of the Luftwaffe.
	So we've done it by sea and by air.
	What was it, Keith?
	One if by land, two if by sea.
	And I did job.
	And I shot himself.
	Spread the alarm through every middles village in town.
	See, I mean, Harry knows the farm, I thought.
	Harry himself is a veteran.
	Harry himself.
	And listen, Harry loves America.
	Harry loves Western civilization.
	Harry loves our people.
	He loves it so much, he's willing to tell the truth.
	Now, who wrote the Midnight Ride of Power of Europe?
	Oh, now we're getting on a nice.
	Hey, hey, hey, you thought you were going to stomp the stopper.
	You thought you were going to stomp the man.
	But now, I had to tell you, really, I just wanted to know.
	Okay, so we've done this incentive with the book with the remembrances, the personal memoirs from the U-boat Waffa, the Luftwaffe.
	Now it is the soldier, the men on the ground.
	We've done it by sea.
	We've done it by air.
	Now on the ground, and not just any ground, not even regular Wehrmacht.
	This is Memories from the Front is pretty much Waffen-SS remembrances.
	And these people were real people, too, and they didn't just live a demonic lifestyle where they thrived and sought to patriotic Germans.
	Butcher people and engagements.
	All right, so this is the book.
	So this is what you're going to get, folks.
	You're going to get the letter next week between this show and next week's show.
	You're going to get the letter detailing it all.
	But TPC's Christmas fundraising drive has kicked off.
	And for the third time in now four years, Shark Hunters and Harry Cooper, we are collaborating, partnering with them because you demand it.
	It has been the most popular, and we want to give you what you want.
	And this is something different.
	You will get another photo card if you contribute at that length.
	That's right.
	And these cannot be reproduced because all of these men are gone now.
	I mean, if you don't get it now, you'll never get it again.
	Correct, Harry?
	That's absolutely correct.
	The great guys, but unfortunately, nobody gets out of this life alive.
	Everybody dies at one point or another, and they're all gone.
	So they're not, these signatures are done no more when they're gone.
	But you still have them from when they were alive, and you are getting a nice allotment of them to this program.
	And we're supporting each other, and we want the audience to support our collective.
	To memorialize another New England author, James Fenimore Cooper.
	These are the last of the Mohicans.
	Well, and not only even that, I mean, the Mohicans are even gone, but their signatures that Harry collected are still there from his time spent with them, and this is it.
	So if you want something like that.
	That's why Fenimore Cooper was a short-tailed ancestor.
	There you go.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's rather short.
	Yeah, well, I've got all Cooper's first printings that have been passed down from father to son since 1891.
	That's why Rince has Harry on.
	And I had the classics illustrated versions.
	Well, this is why Rince has Harry on so often is because twice a month now.
	Well, anyway, this is it.
	So this is, again, we have partnered with Harry to bring you as our incentive gifts for the Christmas fundraising drive for TPC, a copy of the book, Memories from the Front.
	We've done it by sea, by air, now by land, SS people, and SS men.
	There weren't people then.
	It was just men.
	Buy the shores and get you goomie.
	All right, all right, all right.
	And then we're gonna have to go to the next one.
	We've got to bring Harry up here to do a weekend like we had last week, Keith.
	But anyway, so that is it.
	And you'll get a letter from us if you are an established donor between now and next week.
	Harry, give them all the information about shark hunters.
	Please support us so we can support Sherry and everybody else.
	It's a whole team effort.
	Harry, final word to you, seconds remaining, sharkhunters.com.
	We'll have you back on before the end of the week.
	Right.
	Go to sharkhunters.com, and in the upper menu, there's a thing that says shop.
	You can go there, look at all our books, all our hand-signed fine art prints, and then there's a Patreon thing.
	And if you send me an email, sharkhunters at sharkhunters.com.
	Say you heard this show.
	I'll send you the current issue of our monthly magazine electronically.
	And if you have any questions about World War II German history, sound off.
	Hey, folks, there it is.
	Support him, support that mission for as long as you can.
	And if you are interested in this show continuing on into our 22nd year, please support our Christmas fundraising drive.
	And when you do so, you're going to get these gifts that we have been detailing tonight, this hour.
	Announcing it tonight, the official announcement and those details provided by Harry Cooper, my friend, for so many years, and hopefully so many more to come.
