Welcome To Your Weekend.



El Rushbo talked about his radio days a DJ on AM radio in Pittsburgh 50 years ago playing hits.



AM Radio a place to make money back then unlike today's media environment the suits and ties abounded there in that bygone era.


But until the mid 1970's FM radio less listened.


Over on the FM side of radio album rock and other formats but album rock was "hippie music" long haired youth.    The less well dressed worked there.


Today from the Pittsburgh area John Fetterman the Lieutenant Governor who promotes pot legalization wants to be a US Senator.


Rush had an expression for folks who looked like they belonged at the FM radio stations 50 years ago.



             "Dope Smoking Maggot Infested FM Type"



And that reminds me of John Fetterman in the here and now.




Here I am perhaps I should have said this earlier I don't want to come off as morally superior I am your currently sober drunk host making another attempt at media excellence.



I know what it is to be drunk and crazy in my own right before I discuss others like Mr. Fetterman is there a John Fetterman Theme...



Some suggest that this might be the "John Fetterman Theme" or more to the point the "Uncle Festerman" Theme...

WALMART PAYS FOR 'MEDICALLY NECCESSARY' ABORTIONS WHILE CHINA WANTS THREE-CHILD FAMILIES


IS THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN?



Walmart and China go their own separate ways on babies in the womb at least.


Many Americans have expressed their disdain for the fact that Walmart does business with China selling Chinese made goods.




In the years ahead there may be a separation of the whole Western World from China like we've seen from Russia.



But it's been eight days since the Walmart announcement mainstream media picking up the story and giving it a lukewarm welcome.

Now China has a three-child policy emerging and its promotion going so far as to alter the ending of a movie to promote the government's policy.



The movie "Minions: The Rise of Gru" changed by the Chinese Communist censors.



The Chinese regime decided that the story ends with Gru returning to his family and being a father to his three girls.



                          "Three Girls"



When China had a one-child policy boys were preferred to girls so a lot of unborn girls got killed.



The nations of the world running out of people and China has figured this out too.

Let's go to the country music Brenda Lee a singer of hits in the early 1960's at a very young age but she was heard on country music radio in the 1970's and here's one of her songs that I remember it was moving up the chart today in 1974.




                                             "BIG FOUR POSTER BED"-BRENDA LEE






                              "THE MAN THAT TURNED MY MAMA ON"-TANYA TUCKER






       "YOU CAN'T BE A BEACON IF YOUR LIGHT DON'T SHINE"-DONNA FARGO






Some of the hit songs I heard on the radio 48 years ago in August 1974 I listened to country music radio with a passion.

NEW ZEALAND: A BIG PROTEST, HOPE FOR A NEW POLITICAL PARTY THIS WEEK



GOVERNMENT REPRESSION SURROUNDING THE PROTEST






     PROTESTERS MARCH TO PARLIAMENT IN WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND 8/23/2022





If there was a protest at the US Capitol with 120,000 or 130,000 thousand people that would be something.




The equivalent happened in New Zealand population five million when two thousand people gathered outside Parliament in Wellington Tuesday saying:




       THIS GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO GO





VIDEO STREAM OF PROTEST IN WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND TUESDAY 8/23/2022









Days before this protest a Facebook page shut down in New Zealand belonging to Chantelle Baker.   She very active for freedom in the face of Jacinda's Ardern's COVID regime.




The New Zealand authorities keeping reporters like Avi Yemeni of Rebel News from entering the country to cover this protest.



And just days afterwards the operators of an alternative news website "Counterspin Media" arrested and charged with violating a publications law in New Zealand.



The persons arrested Kelvyn Alp and Hannah Spierer released to appear in court in Christchurch this coming Wednesday...





                   COUNTERSPIN MEDIA WEBSITE




The media in New Zealand the politicians in the existing cartel of "Left" and "Right" parties like to find someone to demonize to discredit.


That man is Brian Tamaki who led resistance to COVID tyranny in a visible way in the Auckland region getting arrested, going to jail being put under house arrest and restriction by the Jacinda Ardern government.



Tamaki a pastor founder of a large Pentecostal church (Destiny Church) easy to criticize many see religious personalities as hypocrites and egotists rightly or wrongly.



The Fakeservatives like David Seymour of the ACT Party harshly critical just illustrating Tamaki's point that no New Zealand political party really stands for freedom Seymour and others on the "Right" insisted on COVID shots just like Ardern did the most glaring example of this.




"We should prioritize patriotism and home-grown opportunities.   We need to focus on Kiwis First!"

THE SMEARING OF REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR IN PENNSYLVANIA DOUG MASTRIANO CONTINUES



They keep digging up more "*hit" to throw hoping to make it stick they did the Anti-Semite labeling phase now it's the Racist labeling.




Doug Mastriano was in the Army for 30 years spent his last years teaching military history at the Army War College in Carlisle here in Central Pennsylvania.



And guess what evil, evil picture has been dug up from Doug Mastriano's days at the Carlisle War College OMG he's wearing a Confederate uniform.



Anybody round here who knows the area lives here knows that on July 1st in Gettysburg people show up in Confederate uniforms and re-enact the Civil War's decisive battle of 1863.



And I wonder who the real racist is in this race for Governor here in Pennsylvania is Doug Mastriano is a decent man who doesn't want to go down in the gutter?


But Democrat Josh Shapiro the Attorney General of Pennsylvania apparently doesn't care about notions of libel and slander when it comes to his campaign for Governor.



How many times in his life has Josh made remarks about the "Schvartzers"?



IN CANADA WE ALL KNOW WHO THE HYPOCRITES IN POLITICS ARE WHEN IT COMES TO RACE AND PIERRE POLILEVRE THE LEADING CANDIDATE FOR OPPOSITION LEADER POINTS IT OUT...

        THE LIBERAL PARTY OF CANADA OF COURSE 




                     A LITTLE PENNSYLVANIA POLITICAL HISTORY






I love history and some political history here in Pennsylvania one of the most renowned political figures from this state one Joseph R. Grundy.


Grundy your typical political insider a banker and businessman.


Grundy was described this way in a book I picked up touring the "book fairs" here in Pennsylvania.



"Joe Grundy was a convinced conservative, but he was both dynamic and forward looking"

ANN HAWKES HUTTON IN THE PREFACE TO 'THE PENNSYLVANIAN: JOSEPH R. GRUNDY'


Grundy waged a big fight in 1929 going up against Democrats from the South and Republicans as well who formed a coalition against him over his campaign to lobby for tariff protections for Pennsylvania manufacturers.

Grundy forcing the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act that passed in 1930 to go beyond agricultural products.

El Rushbo even discussed this as tariffs were discussed over the years the notion that Smoot-Hawley worsened the Great Depression here in the USA.

But the notion of tariffs to protect manufacturing in the Grundy tradition getting a new lease on life in recent years due to Donald J. Trump.

Trump recently pointing out the weakness of tariffs touted by Joe Biden.




BLAST FROM THE PAST: "THE ADDAMS FAMILY: UNCLE FESTER'S ILLNESS"

There are questions about John Fetterman's health and in this episode Uncle Fester gets a doctor's visit when he's ill...







And finally tonight where do I put my money I already told you all about Doug Mastriano and my financial support for him the real deal IMHO.



I support Doug Mastriano for Governor here in Pennsylvania with my money.



And another campaign I'm getting behind financially is the campaign of Ammon Bundy for Governor of Idaho.  



Bundy wants to defeat the Democrat but also the RINO Governor of Idaho Brad Little so he's running as an Independent.


Little had the Republican Primary in the palm of his hands the opposition vote splitting between Trump backed Janice McGeachin and Ed Humphreys among others.



So Ammon Bundy wisely chose the Independent banner to get the Fakeservative Brad Little out of office in Idaho.



Ammon Bundy Will Bring Change To Idaho While Brad Little Has A Track Record Of Bringing Chains To Idaho During COVID And Will Bring More Chains In The Future If He Is Re-Elected...
