Speaker 3: Name had the time that he is this hand of statue.
Speaker 4: Every started shaking off and who will fly tennis Conna

Speaker 4: Liberals, be warn your viewpoints will be subjected to straight screw.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Right Side Radio just like click.
Speaker 2: My eyes have been blown wild.
Speaker 7: In this present crisis. Government is not the solution to
Speaker 7: our problem. Government is the problem. The nine most terrifying
Speaker 7: words in the English language are I'm from the government
Speaker 7: and I'm here to help.
Speaker 1: We have come.
Speaker 7: Together here because the American people deserve better from those
Speaker 7: to whom they entrust our nation's highest offices. We stand
Speaker 7: united and are resolved to do something about it.
Speaker 5: You tuned into right Side Radio.
Speaker 2: Happy New Year, folks.
Speaker 4: This is your host, Jack Fairchild's here and of course
Speaker 4: you have founded it is the Right Side Radio program.
Speaker 4: A little bit different intro for this one. Since this
Speaker 4: is our year in review, we look back at the
Speaker 4: year that was twenty twenty four, which was a strange
Speaker 4: year in many years many ways, and a good year
Speaker 4: in many ways, a bad year in many other ways.
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of stuff to talk about that
Speaker 4: we want to get into review. This show will be
Speaker 4: very different from the regular flagship show, as we will
Speaker 4: be playing clips from episodes from throughout the year. We'll
Speaker 4: be talking about older stories, of course, that you've heard
Speaker 4: us talk about already, so it will be a little different.
Speaker 4: Of course, if you're tuning in on Monday morning, there
Speaker 4: is no morning coffee this morning is. This is the
Speaker 4: episode that is being released in its place, our twenty
Speaker 4: twenty four Year in Review episode. And before we get
Speaker 4: into some of the events of the year, I want
Speaker 4: to talk about one that ended the year, something we
Speaker 4: had not gotten a chance to talk about yet because
Speaker 4: we were on break when it happened, and that is
Speaker 4: the death of former President Jimmy Carter. Now Jimmy Carter,
Speaker 4: of course, you'll never hear me argue that he was
Speaker 4: a good president.
Speaker 1: He wasn't.
Speaker 4: A matter of fact, he's one of the worst ever.
Speaker 4: He's in competition for worst of my lifetime. Of course,
Speaker 4: I think there might be a guy leaving office that
Speaker 4: might take that title from him, but we'll see. But
Speaker 4: one thing that I think is safe to say about
Speaker 4: Jimmy Carter is that he was a good man. That
Speaker 4: doesn't mean we agreed on policy. That doesn't mean that
Speaker 4: we agreed on issues. Probably didn't agree on a majority
Speaker 4: of issues. But he remained scandal free, he was with
Speaker 4: his wife forever. He was a good man, and despite
Speaker 4: the fact that he was on the other side of
Speaker 4: the aisle. I definitely want to send my condolences and
Speaker 4: keep the Carter family in my thoughts and prayers. But
Speaker 4: we'll talk. We'll move on to other stories, of course,
Speaker 4: because again I think one of the biggest stories early
Speaker 4: in the year was on March twenty six, when a
Speaker 4: container ship struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore,
Speaker 4: making the bridge collapse, killing six construction workers who were
Speaker 4: filling in potholes. It's one of the craziest things that
Speaker 4: we have ever seen happen, and it is considered one
Speaker 4: of the worst transportation disasters in recent memory, if not
Speaker 4: the worst ever. The operators of the vessel that destroyed
Speaker 4: the bridge agreed to pay nearly one hundred and two
Speaker 4: million dollars for costs stemming from the federal response. The
Speaker 4: reconstruction of the bridge is not going to come cheap,
Speaker 4: as it's going to cost between one point seven billion
Speaker 4: and one point nine billion, So insanity, you know when
Speaker 4: you look at the cost of those things, But it's
Speaker 4: one of those connectors they're going to have to rebuild.
Speaker 2: Of course.
Speaker 4: On September twenty six, Ricane Helena made landfall in Florida
Speaker 4: as a powerful Category four storm. Helena. Of course, you know,
Speaker 4: it moved north and it waked havoc in Georgia, South Carolina,
Speaker 4: North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee as well. Helena destroyed homes, roads,
Speaker 4: left people stranded without phone service, water. Helena is considered
Speaker 4: the deadliest storm in North Carolina's history now and then
Speaker 4: just a mere weeks later, on October ninth, Hurricane Milton
Speaker 4: made landfall in Florida as a Category three storm, bringing tornadoes,
Speaker 4: powerful winds, and flooding rains. So back to back hurricanes
Speaker 4: was definitely one of those things that cut a lot
Speaker 4: of our attention. We saw a failure from our federal
Speaker 4: governments and any kind of response. I think that's one
Speaker 4: of the most tragic things that happened, of course. Also
Speaker 4: something that happened in September was when music mogul Sean
Speaker 4: Diddy Combs you know. Puff Daddy was arrested in New
Speaker 4: York in September and charged with sex trafficking by force,
Speaker 4: transportation to engage in prostitution, and racketeering Conspiracy. Prosecutors alleged
Speaker 4: he ran an enterprise that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor,
Speaker 4: were kidnapping, arson, and other crimes. Is accused of using violence, threats,
Speaker 4: and corrosion to force women to engage in sexual acts
Speaker 4: with male prostitutes, sometimes lasting days. It's crazy what this
Speaker 4: guy's being accused of. His trial will be a big story,
Speaker 4: I'm sure here in twenty twenty five have since sept
Speaker 4: for May. It's insane that this man was a monster.
Speaker 4: Just goes to show that you shouldn't be putting these
Speaker 4: celebrities up on a pedestal. They should not be your
Speaker 4: heroes because several of them, like puff Daddy, are sick
Speaker 4: degenerates and you're just seeing and it still amazes me
Speaker 4: how silent Hollywood is on the arrest puff Daddy. Maybe
Speaker 4: that's because several of them attended his freak offs and
Speaker 4: knew what was happening, but stayed silent. We'll see what
Speaker 4: comes from this trial.
Speaker 1: Who knows. Of course.
Speaker 4: The other thing that rocked the news cycle was the
Speaker 4: killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, as he was
Speaker 4: gunned down outside a midtown Manhattan hotel on his way
Speaker 4: to an investors conference. Of course, this led to online
Speaker 4: anger at the health insurance industry, and some people actually
Speaker 4: celebrated the murder of this guy. They tried to make
Speaker 4: his assassin or accused assassin, Luigi Mangoni into some type
Speaker 4: of hero. Mangonie a twenty six year old Ivy League graduate.
Speaker 4: He allegedly had a spiral notebook detailing the plans about
Speaker 4: how to eventually kill the CEO, according to law enforcement officials,
Speaker 4: And of course, one of the biggest things, and part
Speaker 4: of the reason I hadn't brought it up yet, trust me,
Speaker 4: it's probably the biggest news story of the year was
Speaker 4: there was a presidential election last year, and it saw
Speaker 4: all kinds of crazy, strange occurrences during this presidential election.
Speaker 4: All kinds of things that we didn't expect to see
Speaker 4: happen happened. Two assassination attempts on Donald Trump, the elected
Speaker 4: Democrat nominee dropping out and handing the nomination over to
Speaker 4: his running mate, things that we hadn't seen before. It
Speaker 4: was very unexpected. And here's a clip from the Breaking
Speaker 4: News episode after the attempted the first attempted assassination on
Speaker 4: Donald Trump, an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump,
Speaker 4: former president, and the Republican nominee for the same office.
Speaker 4: This is a dark day here in America because again,
Speaker 4: anytime you have a president, a former president, a presidential
Speaker 4: candidate face an assassination attempt like this, it's eye opening
Speaker 4: and it's one of those things that a lot of
Speaker 4: us are still in shock. We're still trying to process
Speaker 4: exactly what happened yesterday. A lot of questions, you know,
Speaker 4: how did this man get on to the roof of
Speaker 4: a building, whether it was outside of a security perimeter
Speaker 4: or not, if it was a lat building. How did
Speaker 4: this slip through the cracks of Secret Service, which is
Speaker 4: by far the best protection group in the world, and
Speaker 4: yet this slipped past them? And that was my immediate thoughts.
Speaker 4: Of course, another thing that happened in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 4: we saw the launch of the Midnight Ride Network, which
Speaker 4: the Right Side radio show joined the network, and as
Speaker 4: part of my duties not just being the host of
Speaker 4: the Right Side, I joined back up with my good
Speaker 4: friend Chris McDaniel to host Chris McDaniels America. I'm his
Speaker 4: number two mic again, which is fun. But there's also
Speaker 4: another show on the Midnight Ride Network, Godden Country, which
Speaker 4: stars our good friend Dan Carr and our new friend
Speaker 4: Reed Cooley, and I wanted to because again playing that
Speaker 4: clip from after the assassination attempt, I have this clip
Speaker 4: of Dan on Godden Country talking about his thoughts after
Speaker 4: the first assassination attempt.
Speaker 8: So we're talking about just a little bit further. And
Speaker 8: this guy's up there with a rifle. So like Brett
Speaker 8: Farr or Jimmy Klause, if you put them on that roof,
Speaker 8: they get almost hit the president with a football, and
Speaker 8: they're accurate enough to do so. I mean Brett Parr,
Speaker 8: I mean, great day in the warning that guy could
Speaker 8: he could throw that ball, Man Rental cutting him, he
Speaker 8: could throw that ball, Warn Mood.
Speaker 5: And I know I'm naming some older guys.
Speaker 8: I just those guys just had a kid it for
Speaker 8: an old Fen and they could throw that ball, you know,
Speaker 8: Dan Reno. I mean, he could hit you a full
Speaker 8: speed seventy yards away.
Speaker 5: You got a sitting standing steel target, and you.
Speaker 8: Got a guy sitting out one hundred and thirty two
Speaker 8: yards with a AR fifteen.
Speaker 5: I'm sure he's got a scope on it. That really good.
Speaker 8: I don't see how that happens unless either one they
Speaker 8: allowed it to happen, or two just incompetent.
Speaker 4: We're still waiting for total answers on that day. It
Speaker 4: looks like it was more incompetence. But one thing that
Speaker 4: I enjoy about that clip is apparently Dan doesn't watch
Speaker 4: modern football because he couldn't name a single modern He
Speaker 4: couldn't even name Tom Brady. Yeah, he couldn't even name
Speaker 4: Tom Brady, who's not playing anymore. I understand, but I mean,
Speaker 4: come on, Dan, come on, Dan, You've got you've got
Speaker 4: to name a few more modern players. I mean, and
Speaker 4: who's Jimmy Klaus? I'm not even sure who that is?
Speaker 4: Is that somebody you played in the nineteen forties, Dan,
Speaker 4: before they even threw the football. I mean, I don't
Speaker 4: even know who he's talking about there, Jimmy Klaus, who knows?
Speaker 4: But anyway, we got to make fun of dam when
Speaker 4: we can. But the other big event, of course, which
Speaker 4: followed shortly after that first assassination attempt, was Joe Biden
Speaker 4: dropping out of the race. It had been speculated after
Speaker 4: his poor performance in the debate that he was going
Speaker 4: to drop out of the race because he had a
Speaker 4: debate performance against Donald Trump that was embarrassingly bad and
Speaker 4: it left Democrats panicked big time. So they were really
Speaker 4: trying to figure out how they can get Trump out
Speaker 4: of or get Biden off the ticket. They hadn't figured
Speaker 4: it out because they'd already held their primary, so and
Speaker 4: then when the assassination attempt happened, it felt like there
Speaker 4: was no way Trump could lose. I myself did not
Speaker 4: think Biden was going to get out at that point
Speaker 4: because almost feel like they felt like, well, we're going
Speaker 4: to lose anyway, but they're scared. Their concern was where
Speaker 4: they really got frightened was losing the Senate not being
Speaker 4: able to regain the House. Which they lost the Senate
Speaker 4: and they weren't able to regain the House. They decided
Speaker 4: if they rode with Biden, that's what was going to happen.
Speaker 4: So they kicked Biden to the curb, and once they
Speaker 4: kicked Biden to the curb, they handed it to his
Speaker 4: running mate. Here's a clip from right after Biden drops
Speaker 4: out of the race. I did a special report episode,
Speaker 4: and here's my immediate thoughts. That date is a date
Speaker 4: that will now be talked about in history books for
Speaker 4: years to come, because in the presidential election that is
Speaker 4: starting to see at all we now have a candidate
Speaker 4: officially drop out of the race. I have talked about
Speaker 4: many times the shades of nineteen sixty eight, and they
Speaker 4: keep coming because now Joe Biden has officially dropped out
Speaker 4: of the presidential race. Joe Biden is not going to
Speaker 4: seek reelection this time. He is officially out of the race.
Speaker 4: He released a letter in which he issued it. I'm
Speaker 4: going to attempt to try to read it, although it's
Speaker 4: pulled up on my phone, so smaller print.
Speaker 1: Of course.
Speaker 4: He says, my fellow Americans, over the past three and
Speaker 4: a half years, we have made great progress as a nation.
Speaker 4: Today America has the strongest economy in the world. We've
Speaker 4: made Sorry, I can't read this when he gets into
Speaker 4: spin because again I don't know that she can say
Speaker 4: we have the greatest economy in the world when so
Speaker 4: many Americans are struggling. But basically you get the gist
Speaker 4: of where he's going. And there you see, I couldn't
Speaker 4: even get through his whole statement because he couldn't get
Speaker 4: through his own statement without putting forth some lies. And
Speaker 4: speaking of lies, the person that they tapped on the
Speaker 4: shoulder to take his place, Kamala Harris, everything about her
Speaker 4: during that campaign was a lie. It turned out they
Speaker 4: tried to create a character in com Harris that she
Speaker 4: truly wasn't. They tried to spin her into this middle
Speaker 4: class individual, somebody who understood our struggle. Even though she
Speaker 4: was born a privilege, she was not truly middle class.
Speaker 4: And in episode one thirty nine this year, I broke
Speaker 4: down the truth about Kamala Harris. And here's a clip
Speaker 4: from that episode, because again during this presidential race, one
Speaker 4: of the things that we have been told repeatedly is
Speaker 4: it Kamala Harris is a middle class kid. She didn't
Speaker 4: grow up rich. Her mom had to scratch and save
Speaker 4: to buy their first house. She didn't see much privilege.
Speaker 4: That's the story that they've been telling us. They've tried
Speaker 4: to portray her upbringing as middle class, even down to
Speaker 4: working class. They've attempted to tell us stories of her
Speaker 4: having to get a summer job at McDonald's. They claim
Speaker 4: that she's from Oakland, California. Of course, Oakland is well
Speaker 4: known for its blue collar workers. In a recent interview
Speaker 4: with Oprah Winfrey, she said, I grew up a child
Speaker 4: of a mother who worked very hard. She raised me
Speaker 4: and my sister and.
Speaker 7: Say up.
Speaker 4: And by the time I was a teenager, she was
Speaker 4: able to buy a home. On September thirteenth, she posted
Speaker 4: on x formerly known on Twitter, let me be clear,
Speaker 4: I will always put the middle class in working families. First,
Speaker 4: I know where I came from. So again, you see
Speaker 4: how she's trying to present herself. We've heard this time
Speaker 4: and time again where she is a product of the
Speaker 4: middle class, and kudos to her if that was true.
Speaker 4: But it seems like if you dig into her past,
Speaker 4: if you dig a little bit into exactly who Kamala
Speaker 4: Harris is and exactly who she's catering to, you'll start
Speaker 4: to see that there's a lot of half truth out there.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of flat out lies out there too.
Speaker 4: If you look at her childhood, it shows that Harris
Speaker 4: and her younger sister grew up with many, many opportunities
Speaker 4: that most middle class children do not have. We're talking
Speaker 4: about things like living abroad, private school education, and growing
Speaker 4: up in truly wealthy or the wealthiest locations in the world.
Speaker 4: Harris of course, because again for her political aspirations, it
Speaker 4: is a better story if she downplays her true upbringing.
Speaker 4: On October thirty first, she described herself as a the
Speaker 4: Order of Oakland, California, who was raised by a working
Speaker 4: mother and had a summer job at McDonald's. She was
Speaker 4: in fact born at Kaiser Hospital in Oakland. At that time,
Speaker 4: her parents lived in Berkeley, California. Of course, if you
Speaker 4: know anything about Berkeley, it is a predominantly white, liberal
Speaker 4: elite enclave in the San Francisco Bay area, home to
Speaker 4: UC Berkeley, one of the top public universities in the world.
Speaker 4: If you dive a little bit deeper and you look
Speaker 4: at her working mother, her mother was a daughter of
Speaker 4: an Indian diplomat and her father, and met her father
Speaker 4: as a graduate student. Here's his own father even wrote
Speaker 4: that Kamalo was born in Berkeley, according to a New
Speaker 4: York Times report. Harris began downplaying her Berkeley roots years
Speaker 4: ago when she first prepared to run for statewide office
Speaker 4: in California. Here's what the article said. It said today
Speaker 4: she often describes herself with somewhat vague label of daughter
Speaker 4: of Oakland, a phrase that she ties her to, a
Speaker 4: phrase that ties her to the working class city with
Speaker 4: less stigma, and counters Donald Trump's preferred branding of San
Speaker 4: Francisco Liberal. She was a creation the whole time. She
Speaker 4: was an illusion, and she was an illusion the media
Speaker 4: was trying to create. But ultimately the American people didn't
Speaker 4: fall for it. Ultimately, not only was she defeated, she
Speaker 4: was defeated in a route President Trump was reelected after
Speaker 4: a four year gap. I was on the air of
Speaker 4: the night of the election. Wasn't sure if I was
Speaker 4: going to get to see it flip over, even though
Speaker 4: I was looking at the numbers and it was pretty
Speaker 4: clear there was no path for Kamala Harris, but the
Speaker 4: liberal media didn't quite want to call it yet. So
Speaker 4: here is from episode one five on election night. When
Speaker 4: you look at some of these counties, I don't see
Speaker 4: where Harris has a path any longer.
Speaker 1: I just don't.
Speaker 4: And I'm going through those counties and watching them this.
Speaker 4: This looks like it is a It looks like Donald
Speaker 4: Trump is gonna win this race. Of course we've seen
Speaker 4: Shenanigan's happen. Uh oh, it just happened, folks. Wisconsin has
Speaker 4: been called for Donald J.
Speaker 1: Trump.
Speaker 4: He is officially elected the forty seventh president of the
Speaker 4: United States, according to Fox News. Fox News has projected
Speaker 4: him the winner with two hundred and seventy seven electoral votes.
Speaker 4: Harris currently has two hundred and twenty six. So Donald
Speaker 4: Trump has just been in this again being called by
Speaker 4: Fox News. They have called Wisconsin. Almost as I was
Speaker 4: talking about how I didn't see where the path was
Speaker 4: for Kamala Harris to overcome. Now you see it happen
Speaker 4: in real time there going over to CNN. No shock,
Speaker 4: they have not called Wisconsin yet. They have not called Pennsylvania,
Speaker 4: so they are still holding out hope. But based on
Speaker 4: Fox News's projections, Donald Trump has won his rally. They
Speaker 4: are going wild at the rally there. But yes, Wisconsin
Speaker 4: has now been called by Fox News. Donald Trump is
Speaker 4: projected to become the forty seventh president of the United States.
Speaker 4: There you go, people, It is an awesome night to
Speaker 4: see in an all some site to watch unfold in
Speaker 4: real time. Let's take one quick Donald Trump was reelected
Speaker 4: because Joe Biden and his economy failed. Donald Trump was
Speaker 4: reelected because Joe Biden and his policies on border security failed.
Speaker 4: Joe Biden's presidency will go down as a failure. Now
Speaker 4: you may be saying to yourself, well, why are you
Speaker 4: talking about Joe Biden. That's not who he ended up
Speaker 4: running against. He ended up running against Kamala Harris. And
Speaker 4: while that's accurate, it is true that Kamala Harris was
Speaker 4: the person that ended up being his opponent in the end,
Speaker 4: it was in fact Kamala Harrit. I mean, it was,
Speaker 4: in fact Joe Biden and his legacy that they were
Speaker 4: running against. The entire time, it was Joe Biden and
Speaker 4: his legacy that made the lasting impact on this presidential race.
Speaker 4: Joe Biden, if you remember, he won the nomination and
Speaker 4: then he had that disastrous debate performance against President Trump.
Speaker 4: Then a couple that with the first of two assassination attempts,
Speaker 4: and I think the American people had seen enough and
Speaker 4: at this point we were ready to rally behind Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: I think you saw a lot of that tonight. Both
Speaker 4: of those clips were in the immediate after of finding
Speaker 4: out that Donald Trump had been elected the forty seventh
Speaker 4: president of the United States. The emotions were raw and
Speaker 4: why yes, Biden's legacy was a large part in Kamala
Speaker 4: Harris's defeat. Her being an extremely flawed and terrible candidate
Speaker 4: did not help as well. We're going to pause right
Speaker 4: here for a break, but when we come back, I
Speaker 4: want to talk about the launch of the Midnight Ride
Speaker 4: and my hope that here in twenty twenty five, we
Speaker 4: will continue to see the Midnight Ride grow and grow
Speaker 4: and become a place where people can expect to find
Speaker 4: true conservative voices. This is the right Side Radio Program.
Speaker 4: We'll be right back. The Midnight Ride, the home of
Speaker 4: the anti establishment movement. This network features great programming such
Speaker 4: as Chris McDaniel's America, God and Country, The right Side
Speaker 4: Radio Show, Paul Revere's Liberty Layer, and many more coming soon.
Speaker 4: So check out the Midnight Ride today, head to the
Speaker 4: Midnight Ride dot com and check out all the amazing content.
Speaker 4: All right, guys, welcome back here to the Right Side
Speaker 4: Radio Program. Here we are in our twenty twenty four
Speaker 4: year in Review, Episode and one of the biggest events
Speaker 4: for me personally this year was the launch of the
Speaker 4: Midnight Ride Network. My good friend Jim Skielski and our
Speaker 4: new friend Read Coolly both came up with an id yeah,
Speaker 4: an idea to launch a network, and part of Jim's
Speaker 4: entire vision to get this network off the ground was
Speaker 4: to include Chris McDaniel. But not just to include Chris McDaniel.
Speaker 4: He wanted to bring myself and Chris back together again.
Speaker 4: Those of you who are longtime listeners from all the
Speaker 4: way back in our terrestrial radio days, you know that
Speaker 4: Chris and I used to be co host together. He
Speaker 4: was the number one Mike. I was his number two Mike,
Speaker 4: and of course having Chris as a number one Mike
Speaker 4: was a was always fun, you know, and I always
Speaker 4: enjoyed listening to Chris go on and on about you know, anything.
Speaker 4: And being able to get back in with Chris and
Speaker 4: start to have discussions, you know, and be a part
Speaker 4: of broadcast with Chris again was one of the most
Speaker 4: fun things that I've encountered, and I'm truly hopeful that
Speaker 4: we will continue to see the Midnight Ride grow well.
Speaker 4: One of the clips I wanted to play for you
Speaker 4: tonight is Here is Chris from the very first episode
Speaker 4: talking about conservatism.
Speaker 1: It's free markets and it's free minds.
Speaker 6: We may have opinions, for instance, on what we believe
Speaker 6: people should do or not do, but you cross the
Speaker 6: line from conservatism into fascism or even socialism whenever you
Speaker 6: attempt to use.
Speaker 1: Force to control that behavior. That's the problem.
Speaker 6: Frankly, I think vatism the coolest philosophy in the world
Speaker 6: because it embarks around the individual dignity of each person,
Speaker 6: and it tells us that we should conserve a space
Speaker 6: where politicians don't control us. What have you ever heard
Speaker 6: it put that way? A space where politicians can't control us.
Speaker 6: Politicians use government as an extension of control. That's all
Speaker 6: they are. They're big bullies, they have big egos, and
Speaker 6: they love to tell us what to do. They love
Speaker 6: to dictate to us how to live. Young people don't
Speaker 6: like to be told what to do. Conservatism respects that.
Speaker 6: It says, you know what, we may disagree with your decisions,
Speaker 6: but hey, fine, you enjoy yourself.
Speaker 1: Now you have to live with the results.
Speaker 6: If you do something really stupid, we're not going to
Speaker 6: bail you out. But we respect your decision as free people,
Speaker 6: adult people, liberty minded people, to live your life as
Speaker 6: you see fit. That's a good political philosophy. Liberalism rejects that,
Speaker 6: and so does authoritarianism. On the conservative side, What does
Speaker 6: it say, do as we say? Ah, that's not servatism
Speaker 6: is conservatism respects differences of opinion and variations of opinion.
Speaker 6: They want to use government to control us. Wall Is
Speaker 6: that a bombastic statement? I think it's not right.
Speaker 2: No, it's it's an honest statement.
Speaker 6: Will consider this. How much of their paycheck do you want?
Speaker 6: I mean, they take about forty to fifty percent every year,
Speaker 6: don't they.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: If I don't have.
Speaker 6: Economic liberty, what liberty do I have? I can't feed
Speaker 6: my family, I can't pay the gas bill, I can't
Speaker 6: pay the light bill. But they take take That's control,
Speaker 6: isn't it?
Speaker 1: On control? They take the fruits of.
Speaker 6: My labor, they rip it from me. That's a sense
Speaker 6: of control. What about the way I teach my kids,
Speaker 6: the things they're taught in school, that's control, isn't it?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: What about the COVID lockdowns? Was that control?
Speaker 2: Very much?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 6: Ultimately, the liberals of this country, the modern liberals of
Speaker 6: this country, are all about using force. Conservatism is a
Speaker 6: rejection of that force. That's all this is. And they
Speaker 6: always talk about free will on that side of the equation.
Speaker 6: They talk about how we're trying to control them, when
Speaker 6: here's the fly fee I live by, just leave me
Speaker 6: alone and I'll leave you alone.
Speaker 1: Is that a bad political philosophy.
Speaker 4: No, I think that's a philosophy that's very, very easy
Speaker 4: to get behind.
Speaker 6: I think young people would love it if they actually
Speaker 6: heard it and understood it and understood it.
Speaker 4: I think Chris breaks that down very well, and that's
Speaker 4: part of why I wanted to include that in this
Speaker 4: year review episode. But Chris also focused on how our
Speaker 4: state gop here in the state of Mississippi, continues to
Speaker 4: fill us with things like trying to expand medicare.
Speaker 6: As long as they whole power, as long as they
Speaker 6: keep that measly position, or for that matter, try to advance,
Speaker 6: they'll let the whole thing burn down.
Speaker 1: So as long as they can manage its decline.
Speaker 6: Take medicaid expansion the most anti Republican thing imaginable. We
Speaker 6: have a Republican lieutenant governor, a Republican Speaker of the
Speaker 6: House pushing it, and all the other state wides not
Speaker 6: a word. It's crazy. They're jockeye and they're not even concerned.
Speaker 6: Why not take a position. I don't care what your
Speaker 6: position is. If you're an elected Republican official, shouldn't you
Speaker 6: stick your neck out there and say this is absurd?
Speaker 1: Delbert Hoseman. Yet again, they're so concerned about loosening the
Speaker 1: seat at the.
Speaker 6: Table they can't even hold anyone accountable. They're all posturing
Speaker 6: for the next four years. They're all getting ready to run.
Speaker 6: They don't want to say anything they could offend somebody.
Speaker 6: So again we see early voting past. That's a Democratic
Speaker 6: big talking point. We see Medicaid expansion past. I know
Speaker 6: they're big talking point from the Democrats. Meanwhile, everybody's dead
Speaker 6: sided because they don't want to offend anybody. The whole
Speaker 6: point of this is to hold somebody accountable.
Speaker 4: Again, Chris hammering home some solid points there. But of
Speaker 4: course we're not alone on the Midnight Ride network because
Speaker 4: in addition to Chris McDaniels, America and the Right Side
Speaker 4: Radio show, there is Godden Country. As I played a
Speaker 4: clip from earlier, and here's one of reading Dan talking
Speaker 4: about their deal breakers when it comes to political candidates.
Speaker 9: If a biolitician is pro choice, I mean to me,
Speaker 9: that signals a lack of judgment that is going to
Speaker 9: contaminate their positions on so many other areas. Right, So
Speaker 9: a pro choice is one of those issues that is
Speaker 9: a little bit of a deal breaker for me.
Speaker 8: Yeah, And so when it comes to Second Amendment, First Amendment,
Speaker 8: when it comes to the Constitution, there's some things that
Speaker 8: are on waibreak and we're not going to back off one.
Speaker 8: You know, We're not going to move on some of
Speaker 8: these issues. And I don't even like some of our
Speaker 8: Republicans move in on some of these issues as well.
Speaker 4: Good words there, and I like the fact that they
Speaker 4: have their deal breakers. And I also like the fact
Speaker 4: that you're willing to call out Republicans who are turning
Speaker 4: their backs on the principles, because I think that is
Speaker 4: a core thing. The Midnight Ride Network is the anti
Speaker 4: establishment network. It is the home of the voice of
Speaker 4: the anti establishment, and I am happy to be a
Speaker 4: part of that for sure. But we also have some
Speaker 4: fun at times. And one of the things we found
Speaker 4: out during the course of the year is that Dan
Speaker 4: has had not seen the Lord of the rings or
Speaker 4: star Wars, and that he pretty much is lost when
Speaker 4: it comes to anything of pop cultural significance.
Speaker 10: I'm seeing much more of that kind of rhetoric that's
Speaker 10: sort of occupying the world of politics these days, especially
Speaker 10: among conservatives. I'm seeing, you know, exactly what you're talking about, people,
Speaker 10: whether they're converting to Roman Catholicism, whether it's it's the
Speaker 10: Baptist Church or the Methodist Church, they're calling out for
Speaker 10: Christ again. Because I think what we are noticing noticed
Speaker 10: in America across the West is that people understand that
Speaker 10: this mess that Western civilization has gotten into, there's no
Speaker 10: way out of it without Jesus Christ. There's no way
Speaker 10: out of this mess. He's the moral absolute, He's the
Speaker 10: moral standard. Really, all of Western civilization is predicated on
Speaker 10: the sacrifice of Christ, on the message of Christ. It
Speaker 10: really goes all the way back to him. So I'm
Speaker 10: seeing more and more of that starting to take place.
Speaker 10: But over the last year or so, I've really begun
Speaker 10: to refer to out enemies in politics and in culture
Speaker 10: as simply the enemy, maybe with an upper case E,
Speaker 10: because to me, that encapsulates the fact that we're fighting
Speaker 10: a spiritual war we're fighting a cultural war and we're
Speaker 10: fighting a political war, all sort of put together. So
Speaker 10: whenever you refer to it simply as the enemy's that
Speaker 10: sort of encapsulates all of that. Plus I'm a big
Speaker 10: Lord of the Rings fan, you know, so a spoiler alert,
Speaker 10: and if you read the Lord of the Rings books,
Speaker 10: by chance, hopefully we have some Lord of the Rings
Speaker 10: fans of the audience, you'll hear like some of the
Speaker 10: heroic characters refer to Saluron, the dark Lord as the enemy.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 10: So it's a little bit of a mi nerdiness channeled
Speaker 10: into into my political outlook and such things. But I
Speaker 10: am noticing, you know, obviously a lot of negative transformations
Speaker 10: in the world, but you know some positive as well.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so you mentioned Lord of the Rings. I've never
Speaker 8: watched Lord of the Rings.
Speaker 5: And man, I've never read you have to change that.
Speaker 8: I've never I've never read one of the books. I've
Speaker 8: never watched it. So but I'll put that on my
Speaker 8: to do I'll put that on my.
Speaker 3: To do list, and you will get so much out
Speaker 3: of it.
Speaker 10: Man, So whenever you read Tolkien, Lewis, you know, the
Speaker 10: great Christian writers. I would say some of the most
Speaker 10: important and pivotal contributors to the great Christian literary canon.
Speaker 3: Man, you'll get so much out of it.
Speaker 10: I mean, I'm gonna give a little bit of a
Speaker 10: spoiler alerd to you, but the audience, the Word of
Speaker 10: the Rings is really you know, it's a deep theological word.
Speaker 10: So Tolkien he was deeply Christian, he was Roman Catholic,
Speaker 10: he was deeply Christian, and he was pouring as theology
Speaker 10: into every single page of that book. And you know,
Speaker 10: so it's a movie book. Well, so the movies are
Speaker 10: based off of much older books that he wrote in
Speaker 10: the nineteen forty so you know, he wrote The Hobbit
Speaker 10: that came out in nineteen thirty seven. Then you know,
Speaker 10: less than a decade later he started working on the
Speaker 10: Word of the Rings.
Speaker 3: I was originally seven books. He broke it down to three,
Speaker 3: but three.
Speaker 10: If you watched the extended the trilogy is fourteen hours.
Speaker 10: That's fourteen straight hours. So it's it's a lot of
Speaker 10: moving hour movie. It's a free movies. Fourteen hours over
Speaker 10: three movies. So oh wow, you really got to sit
Speaker 10: down and get set aside sometime to marathon these.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 10: Man, So maybe get plenty of your sweet tee that
Speaker 10: you've got here. I get some popcorn and to sit
Speaker 10: down and binge it.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure Dan will ever find the time to
Speaker 4: sit down and watch fourteen hours of movies, but he
Speaker 4: did check in and watch some Lord of the Rings
Speaker 4: and some Star Wars, even though it seemed like he
Speaker 4: was struggling to understand the difference between Chewbacca and Chewing Tobacco.
Speaker 5: Talking about Lord of the Ring.
Speaker 9: The Lord of the Rings, Yeah, and then Star Wars
Speaker 9: who Chewbacca was, Yeah.
Speaker 5: Like two in tobacco.
Speaker 8: I had learn about two in tobacco or Tobacca and
Speaker 8: I have watched a little bit of Star Wars.
Speaker 2: And but but I've.
Speaker 5: Learned so much with God and Country.
Speaker 8: And now I'm had to go read Lord of the
Speaker 8: Rings book, I'm had to watch some more Star Wars,
Speaker 8: and now I've got to go figure out what Dragon
Speaker 8: ball z is and so But anyway, but I will
Speaker 8: say this about the Avengers. Aren't about about the the Avengers.
Speaker 8: But I will say this about you know, the men
Speaker 8: I write cartoons, is that they're very well put together.
Speaker 5: I mean, they are very good.
Speaker 8: And I'm impressed, you know, with the cartoons and so uh.
Speaker 5: Anyway, I'm looking forward to all of those coming.
Speaker 4: Out, and there was a quick plug on a couple
Speaker 4: of the little short cartoons the Midnight Ride has put out.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure what the current status is on any
Speaker 4: of the cartoon shows. They may be on hold, but
Speaker 4: I don't know for sure, but again they if you
Speaker 4: can check out the shorts and they're really good, as
Speaker 4: Dan said, but then you can you don't have to
Speaker 4: worry about that Dragon ball Z nonsense. Just focus on
Speaker 4: Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. You'll be fine.
Speaker 4: You'll be fine. But of course, like I said, there's
Speaker 4: been so much that happened this year, and the Midnight
Speaker 4: Ride being a big part of it. My enjoyment of
Speaker 4: doing the show with Chris. One of my favorite episodes
Speaker 4: this year took place on the birthday of Ron Paul.
Speaker 4: You know, and Ron Paul is one of those political
Speaker 4: figures that we can actually look up to because he's
Speaker 4: somebody who always did what he said.
Speaker 1: He's going to do.
Speaker 4: And Chris broke it down really well on his birthday,
Speaker 4: and I wanted to play this opening from that episode
Speaker 4: for you.
Speaker 6: Almost the twentieth shouldn't matter. Two conservative minded liberty minded
Speaker 6: people all across the country. You say, why, what's the
Speaker 6: big deal? Why August the twentieth does something happen? Was
Speaker 6: there a coup against the government somewhere? No, no, But
Speaker 6: there was a great man born that day.
Speaker 1: His name is Ron Paul.
Speaker 6: I know, I know some of you Republicans out there
Speaker 6: already rolling your eyes. You don't know why you're rolling
Speaker 6: your eyes. You don't know why you intuitively dislike Ron Paul.
Speaker 6: It's whatever reason you do, it just doesn't seem to fit.
Speaker 8: Yet.
Speaker 1: If you were to closed those eyes just.
Speaker 6: For a second and think about the things that he
Speaker 6: believed in, Consider the things that he taught us, Consider
Speaker 6: the things that he tried to get through our thick skulls.
Speaker 6: If you would just close your eyes for a second
Speaker 6: and just ignore all of the noise from all other sources,
Speaker 6: the establishment specifically, the liberals specifically, and just focus on
Speaker 6: the issues. What exactly do you disagree with Ron Paul about?
Speaker 1: It's mind boggling.
Speaker 6: I often wonder how it is that we liked politicians.
Speaker 6: What exactly are we looking for?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it.
Speaker 6: You want that photogenics steer, tereotypical guy or girl you've
Speaker 6: seen on TV, right, not even politicians on TV.
Speaker 1: You're looking for that Hollywood actor. The guy should have
Speaker 1: his hair just right.
Speaker 6: He should have a pen on his lapel, maybe a
Speaker 6: red time, maybe a blue size, something bold.
Speaker 1: You say, what does that matter? What?
Speaker 6: It seems to matter now more than anything, because we'll
Speaker 6: elect people that look the part as opposed to people
Speaker 6: that really know the part.
Speaker 1: All day, every day. Think about miss Harris even now,
Speaker 1: if she.
Speaker 6: Looks the part, doesn't she shesed it, she's photogenous, she's
Speaker 6: got all these things going for doesn't have a clue
Speaker 6: of what's going on. Even Joe Biden, to a certain extent,
Speaker 6: he looked the part, he played the part, but he
Speaker 6: really wasn't presidential. We've seen that time and time again
Speaker 6: of late good speakers, more importantly, good pr people, more
Speaker 6: importantly big money, big donors, the ability to control the narrative,
Speaker 6: to outspend your opposition and crush him in the dust.
Speaker 1: Because you are sold out, Yes you are. You know
Speaker 1: who you are. You didn't raise that.
Speaker 6: Money because you were pure. You didn't raise that money
Speaker 6: because you were principal. You raise that money because you
Speaker 6: kissed enough. But to raise that money and say you
Speaker 6: take that money and you create a caricature or maybe
Speaker 6: a clean image of yourself when you project that to
Speaker 6: these uninformed voters that aren't paying attention, and that's how
Speaker 6: you win offices in this modern age of politics.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what to blame that on.
Speaker 6: Maybe it was the Kennedy Nixon debate all the way
Speaker 6: back in nineteen sixty. Remember Kennedy looked like a president.
Speaker 6: Nixon look nervous cost him the race. They say, goodness, gracious,
Speaker 6: we've really gotten to that point. Appearances mean everything. I
Speaker 6: know I'm hammering appearances today, but I say it because again,
Speaker 6: if you'll close your eyes and just not look at
Speaker 6: Ron Paul demand and focus on Ron Paul the intellect,
Speaker 6: how can you not support the guy? How can you
Speaker 6: not support him? Let's think about this, Jack focused for
Speaker 6: a minute. Another you're busy over there, but run Paul again,
Speaker 6: close your eyes, just stop, pretend for a moment.
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about run Paul.
Speaker 6: I'm talking about any random Republican politician. And that politician
Speaker 6: tells you this. He says, I'm an advocate for limited government.
Speaker 1: And we say, well, yeah.
Speaker 6: The politician says, I'm a strong proponent and a non
Speaker 6: interventionist foreign policy. We say, man, he's great. The same
Speaker 6: politician says, we need to do something about the Federal
Speaker 6: Reserve because as unconstitutional and b it just doesn't work
Speaker 6: the way people.
Speaker 4: You know, the way it was sold to us makes sense.
Speaker 1: Right, We say, man, this politician is almost something. He
Speaker 1: sounds so good.
Speaker 6: The same politician says, listen, inflation could be a problem
Speaker 6: in the future, so let's have something that actually backs
Speaker 6: the dollar, like the gold preserve. Like that gold used
Speaker 6: to back the dollar. People don't realize that anymore. It
Speaker 6: was a hedge against inflation. The doctor meant something. You
Speaker 6: could take a dollar bill go get an equivalent amount
Speaker 6: of gold when it was backed by gold. Now what
Speaker 6: is it backed by the field? Currencies back by thin air.
Speaker 6: It's back by something because the federal government says it's
Speaker 6: worth something. Ron Paul recognized a long time ago that
Speaker 6: in flesh you can be a problem.
Speaker 1: So he talked about this issue and it makes sense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it turns out he was right. Okay.
Speaker 6: The same politician talks about civil liberties and it says
Speaker 6: the federal government's gotten too big and that you, as
Speaker 6: an individual matter more.
Speaker 1: Than the collective. If we were to hear that, we
Speaker 1: would all cheer. Remarket economics right.
Speaker 6: The idea that the market should control, that politicians should
Speaker 6: not control. That a good product should be worth something,
Speaker 6: a bad product should be worth less. Scarcity drives up
Speaker 6: costs or drives up price, vice versa.
Speaker 1: In other words, let the market be the market.
Speaker 6: In other words, get the politicians in the government out
Speaker 6: of the marketplace.
Speaker 1: If we were to.
Speaker 6: Hear that today, we would always say, yeah, taxation. A
Speaker 6: man that claimed he was against taxation and didn't just
Speaker 6: claim it, walked the walk every time it came before him.
Speaker 6: These politicians today, you hear them all.
Speaker 1: The time, I'm gonna cut taxes.
Speaker 6: And the first thing they do when they're elected is
Speaker 6: to go about increasing fees and taxes and every other
Speaker 6: thing they can do to increase their own power base.
Speaker 6: We hear somebody now who was sincere about it a
Speaker 6: profit ahead.
Speaker 1: Of his time.
Speaker 6: We rejected him his opposition to the war on drugs.
Speaker 6: He wasn't saying everybody should get high. It's not what
Speaker 6: he was saying.
Speaker 1: He was saying the.
Speaker 6: Federal government doesn't have about police power in its arsenal Right,
Speaker 6: it doesn't you think otherwise. Look at the United States
Speaker 6: Constitution and find anywhere in there that empowers the federal
Speaker 6: government to create a police force to chase drugs.
Speaker 1: Have you found it?
Speaker 4: It doesn't exist.
Speaker 6: You see, what he was being was a constitutionalist and
Speaker 6: he was saying these things and it made sense.
Speaker 1: Okay, a politician.
Speaker 6: Nowaday says, states saw the way we straighten this mess
Speaker 6: up is to give the power to the states and
Speaker 6: allow the federal government to resume its proper role in place,
Speaker 6: which is a very small role in place, primarily with
Speaker 6: foreign relations.
Speaker 1: He said that we say it today and we say, yeah.
Speaker 6: All the Republican's cheered, everybody gets happy.
Speaker 1: And then the last point.
Speaker 6: He was so big on constitutionalism, which I'm not even
Speaker 6: sure either party knows what that means anymore. But it
Speaker 6: basically means adherence to a document because it is the
Speaker 6: founding law of the land. What it really means is
Speaker 6: protecting it, making sure that government did not grow too much.
Speaker 6: The Constitution constrained the federal government, it kept that controlled.
Speaker 1: Right. So Ron Paul has a.
Speaker 6: Career built on those principles, those ten very simple principles,
Speaker 6: And how.
Speaker 1: Do we applaud him we don't. How do we reward him?
Speaker 1: We don't.
Speaker 6: He said all the right things, he behaved all the
Speaker 6: right ways.
Speaker 1: He did exactly what.
Speaker 6: He was supposed to do, not because it was cool,
Speaker 6: not because it was clever. He did it because he
Speaker 6: was right. And get this, he did it consistently. In
Speaker 6: other words, he was a man of principal, a man
Speaker 6: of integrity.
Speaker 1: We say we won't that.
Speaker 6: In politics, don't we We always say we need met
Speaker 6: a principle and integrity. We don't vote for him. We
Speaker 6: vote for the Lindsay Grahams of the world. Don't kid yourself.
Speaker 1: And I'm serious, and your sounds funny, and I guess
Speaker 1: it is, Lindsay. But you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 6: These guys that wake up like wind socks at the airport,
Speaker 6: they don't have a principal bone in their body. We
Speaker 6: keep putting them into office, and people like Ron Paul,
Speaker 6: who were nothing but principal, we mock and ridicule and
Speaker 6: make fun of.
Speaker 1: We don't know why. Maybe he wasn't the cool kid
Speaker 1: in school. Maybe it's just our second nature. Don't want
Speaker 1: to mock people that are better than us. They are
Speaker 1: more intellectual than us. You cant is intellect.
Speaker 6: Can you check his appearance?
Speaker 1: He looks old and cranky, whatever the case may be.
Speaker 1: Who cares.
Speaker 6: He's brilliant and he still is brilliant. He was born
Speaker 6: on this day in nineteen thirty five. He is eighty
Speaker 6: nine years old today. Wow, he deserves I respect, our admiration.
Speaker 6: He deserves to smell those roses today. You know, so
Speaker 6: we honor people all the time once they've passed. Yeah,
Speaker 6: this man needs to be honored right now for the
Speaker 6: special person he always has been, for the principal man.
Speaker 1: He always has.
Speaker 6: Been unchanged all those years later. Honestly, man a modern
Speaker 6: day found.
Speaker 4: Involve well put by Chris, and I went on in
Speaker 4: that episode and said that my greatest regret was the
Speaker 4: fact that I didn't vote for Ron Paul. And I
Speaker 4: still believe that to this day, because I feel like
Speaker 4: Ron Paul would have been an outstanding president. But at
Speaker 4: the time I bought into the very lies and the
Speaker 4: very things that Chris was talking about, because that's how
Speaker 4: they play us. And when you don't know how the
Speaker 4: game is played yet, when you don't understand that the
Speaker 4: game is one hundredcent rigged against us, you don't know
Speaker 4: to not listen to some of that stuff. But Chris
Speaker 4: also went on and he talked about Jefferson and Paul
Speaker 4: in this quick thirty five second clip.
Speaker 6: John the Fathers would come back, Jefferson would.
Speaker 4: Probably already be shooting, you know, he would.
Speaker 6: Not proposing that, just pointing out how angry he would be.
Speaker 6: Ron Paul was one of the last few great thinkers
Speaker 6: with that mindset, a man more concerned about liberty than collectivism,
Speaker 6: more concerned about principle than advancement.
Speaker 1: Right, A rare breed. Where do you find those in
Speaker 1: the democredit Party Now?
Speaker 4: They don't exist in a small hempful of the Republicans
Speaker 4: that do are still being slowly drammed out. And that's
Speaker 4: the saddest part is they are drumming out the small
Speaker 4: handful of Republicans that still abide by that thought process,
Speaker 4: those who still honor the platform, who still believe in
Speaker 4: true conservative principles that Chris talked about in that clip
Speaker 4: I played earlier as well, We're going to wrap this
Speaker 4: show up when I get back. I've got one more
Speaker 4: clip that I want to play. I want to go
Speaker 4: out on this clip that I've got coming up, but
Speaker 4: I wanted to take one more break before we get
Speaker 4: to that. This is the right Side Radio Program twenty

Speaker 4: All Right, guys, welcome back here to the Right Side
Speaker 4: Radio program. The home stretch of the twenty twenty four
Speaker 4: Year in Review episode. We only got one more clip
Speaker 4: to play, and I wanted to This one means something
Speaker 4: to me because you know, this year for positives and negatives.
Speaker 4: I had one truly traumatic experience this year, and that
Speaker 4: was losing my beloved Pat Churchill. Churchill the Cat was
Speaker 4: special friend for me and wasn't old enough to lose
Speaker 4: when I did. I still don't feel like I got
Speaker 4: enough years with him. I dedicated an entire morning coffee
Speaker 4: episode to Churchhill the morning after he passed, and I
Speaker 4: want to play that for you here, and like I said,
Speaker 4: it's raw because it's only a day after, so let.
Speaker 1: Me play that.
Speaker 4: This wasn't the episode that was originally scheduled to release
Speaker 4: this morning, but I decided I wanted to put something
Speaker 4: else out after personal loss yesterday. We all know that
Speaker 4: pets are family to those of us who have them,
Speaker 4: and they mean so much to us. Some of them
Speaker 4: are here for years and give us great joy for
Speaker 4: those many years, and some are only here for a
Speaker 4: brief time. Back in twenty twenty one, I lost a
Speaker 4: friend of mine of fourteen years in Stonewall, the cat
Speaker 4: who was my buddy person, who had been there for
Speaker 4: me multiple times when I needed him, always would jump up.
Speaker 4: He was a ginormous giant of a cat and his
Speaker 4: loss was devastating to me. And it was a good
Speaker 4: friend of mine, Jennifer Perdome, who when I was questioning
Speaker 4: should I ever get another animal? Should I get another cat?
Speaker 4: And she was like, because I didn't want to replace Stonewall.
Speaker 4: She wisely pointed out to me that I wasn't replacing Stonewall.
Speaker 4: I was rescuing another friend. So upon hearing that, I
Speaker 4: realized it was okay to go and adopt another friend
Speaker 4: because I was giving him a home, I was giving
Speaker 4: him a life, and I was securing friendship for myself
Speaker 4: in this beloved pet. I went on to different websites
Speaker 4: to see what kittens were available and came across this
Speaker 4: little white fur ball that they had named Tom Brady.
Speaker 4: I looked at this cat and realized I was going
Speaker 4: to drive to Hattiesburg to the pet smart there and
Speaker 4: I was going to see if there was connection and
Speaker 4: remember it as vividly as I can that I reached
Speaker 4: into that cage and he reached up with this little
Speaker 4: paw and touched my hand. And I knew then that
Speaker 4: this cat was coming home with me that day, This
Speaker 4: little kitten was coming home with me. Now, Tom Brady
Speaker 4: was never going to be his name in my world.
Speaker 4: He came home with me, and from that moment Ford
Speaker 4: he was known as Churchill. Churchill. When I first got
Speaker 4: him home, was nervous, hid under my bed, which was
Speaker 4: his safety spot. Anytime something would happen, or a stranger
Speaker 4: of danger one of my friends would come over, he
Speaker 4: would run and he'd hide under that bed.
Speaker 2: That was his spot.
Speaker 4: When I went home to work or I went off
Speaker 4: to work, he would go and that's where he would sleep,
Speaker 4: under the bed because I wasn't here, so it was
Speaker 4: safety valve of me wasn't here. The bed was number two.
Speaker 4: Sometimes he'd be downstairs, or he'd be in the upstairs window,
Speaker 4: but most of the time, if I wasn't here, under
Speaker 4: that bed was his comfort spot. I used a toy
Speaker 4: I purchased when I brought him home to coax him
Speaker 4: to come out to me. Once I got him to
Speaker 4: come to me, I was able to start petting him,
Speaker 4: and he realized, Okay, this guy's all right, I think
Speaker 4: we can be friends. I always gave him treats because
Speaker 4: he loved treats. He still has treats on top of
Speaker 4: my fridge at the moment. I bought him numerous toys.
Speaker 4: Whenever the ladies that I have that clean my apartment
Speaker 4: are coming, I would always box them up because I
Speaker 4: didn't want them to mistake something that he enjoyed and
Speaker 4: played with as something that needed to be thrown away with.
Speaker 4: Because he had some little feather things that if you
Speaker 4: looked at it, you'd be like, well, that's just broken
Speaker 4: off of a toy, But that was that was gold
Speaker 4: to him. But he would when I'd put him in
Speaker 4: that drawer, he would figure how toway like a dog
Speaker 4: to open that drawer and start to pull his toys
Speaker 4: back out. He loved those toys very very much. Whenever
Speaker 4: I would come home for lunch, he'd come running down
Speaker 4: the stairs to meet me. Whenever I'd get home from
Speaker 4: work or get home from a trip or whatever, he
Speaker 4: would come running to greet me. Whatever I was eating,
Speaker 4: he expected to get his cut. He expected me to
Speaker 4: share with him, because we were friends, that's what we did.
Speaker 4: I wasn't eating something without giving him his fair shake. Well,
Speaker 4: yesterday I came home for lunch from work, like I
Speaker 4: always do, Churchill didn't run downstairs. I didn't think anything
Speaker 4: of it at first. I sat down and ate my lunch.
Speaker 4: But then it hit me and was like, you know,
Speaker 4: he still hadn't come down. So my first instinct is
Speaker 4: I shut him in the downstairs bathroom. Nope, not in there.
Speaker 4: I came and opened the door to the studio, thinking
Speaker 4: maybe I had shut him in here. Nope. So then
Speaker 4: I went and lay down on the floor to see
Speaker 4: him under my bed. And when I looked at him
Speaker 4: and I saw his face, I knew something was wrong.
Speaker 4: When I poked him, I knew it was deathly wrong.
Speaker 4: When I was able to grab him and pull him out,
Speaker 4: I knew he was gone. This little guy, in just
Speaker 4: three and a half years of my life, was one
Speaker 4: of my best friends and was just somebody that touched me.
Speaker 4: I had this little cat for far too brief of
Speaker 4: a time, but that little guy was my heart tonight,
Speaker 4: my heart's breaking tonight. I am recording this episode because
Speaker 4: I wanted to put something out there in memory of
Speaker 4: Churchill the Cat, Churchill the cat who made appearances on
Speaker 4: the Right Side radio show. From time to time. You'd
Speaker 4: either hear a mew in the background or you'd hear
Speaker 4: him knock something over from time to time. Churchhill was
Speaker 4: one of those cats that he was. He wanted your attention,
Speaker 4: but he would allow you to do your own thing
Speaker 4: and expected you to do the same for him. But
Speaker 4: he had a dog's personality and a cat and that
Speaker 4: was so rare. And that's part of what I loved
Speaker 4: about him so much. Was this guy was he wanted
Speaker 4: to be around me. Any other person came over, it
Speaker 4: was stranger danger. I was the only human that he trusted.
Speaker 4: With the help of my good friend Chris McDaniel and
Speaker 4: his son Cambridge, we buried him next to Stonewall. I
Speaker 4: kissed his forehead goodbye one more time before we laid
Speaker 4: him to rest. Stonewall was a great friend, an amazing cat,
Speaker 4: and Stonewall, you were in my life far too short
Speaker 4: of a time. This has bed morning Coffee with the
Speaker 4: Right Side. I'm your host, Jack fair Child's and we're
Speaker 4: a part of the Midnight Ride Network. Now. Of course,
Speaker 4: there at the end, I was I guess taken back
Speaker 4: from the grief and referred to Churchhill as Stonewall. But Churchill,
Speaker 4: you are still missed to this day. But there is
Speaker 4: a happy ending here if you can find a happy
Speaker 4: ending through loss, and that's it. Wasn't long after I
Speaker 4: lost Churchhill and I had said I wasn't going to
Speaker 4: get another one, but I saw a picture of another
Speaker 4: white cat. Little kitten looked a lot like Churchill. This
Speaker 4: picture was posted from New Hope Animal Rescue Center in Pedal, Mississippi.
Speaker 4: Great people doing great work there. If you have the
Speaker 4: means to give them a donation, I would highly recommend
Speaker 4: you do so, because these are these are wonderful people.
Speaker 4: When I saw the picture, instantly messaged them and asked
Speaker 4: about the cat. It was a little female kitten. Her
Speaker 4: name is Pearl. Miss Pearl looks a lot like Churchill,
Speaker 4: but has a more a different personality and the fact
Speaker 4: that she doesn't know strangers. But she's very affectionate, and
Speaker 4: I am happy to say that I did adopt a
Speaker 4: new friend and give her a forever home. So yes,
Speaker 4: even though I will never stop missing Churchill or Stonewall
Speaker 4: for that matter, miss Pearl definitely help fill that void
Speaker 4: in my heart last year, so why I wanted to
Speaker 4: share my tribute to Churchill. I also wanted to share
Speaker 4: with the listeners that I did find a new friend,
Speaker 4: a friend that is currently curled up at my feet
Speaker 4: as I record this. So we do get a happy
Speaker 4: ending of sorts. So now we get ready to walk
Speaker 4: into this twenty twenty five. What will the new year
Speaker 4: hold for us? We get to see the second term
Speaker 4: of Donald J. Trump as he becomes the forty seventh
Speaker 4: President of the United States of America. It's not going
Speaker 4: to be easy there. I'm going to be a lot
Speaker 4: of challenges first for him. Of course, we get to
Speaker 4: see year two of the Midnight Network and hopefully we
Speaker 4: see it continue to thrive, and we get to see
Speaker 4: the Right Side Radio Show continue to come to you
Speaker 4: week after week, possibly adding a video component at some
Speaker 4: point before the end of the year. But guys, I
Speaker 4: want to thank you all for listening and being a
Speaker 4: part of this journey with me all last year and
Speaker 4: hopefully on into twenty twenty five. Happy New year, and
