2/1- HOW COME FOR CONSERVATIVES, WINNING DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP?

2012-02-01T16:02:00.000-08:00

You vote for conservatives. You cheer when they win. Nothing conservative ever gets done. And you never wonder why? Quit feeling guilty! Writer and teacher EBBEN RAVES does your wondering for you in a brilliant article in the American Thinker that joltingly, not gently, lets Conservatives know they're on a "plantation" and they have three choices; stay there, run away or destroy the plantation. Sara and Barry welcome Raves to outline those alternatives.

1/31-FLORIDA GIVES US SUNSHINE, ALLIGATORS AND HURRICANES. CAN IT ALSO GIVE US PRIMARY NIGHT SURPRISES?

2012-01-31T16:04:00.000-08:00

DR. CHARLES DUNN is Distinguished Professor of Government at Regent University and Chair of the Seventh Annual Ronald Reagan Symposium this coming Friday in Virginia Beach. Sara and Barry wonder if he fears "opportunists and activists" might try to politicize that symposium this year and what precautions they're taking. Also, will Gingrich really stay in the race if he loses Florida until the GOP Convention. Finally, it seems like a joke, but it's a TRUE joke: Can Obama possibly win re-election with so many things going wrong -- and can the Republicans possibly win after exhibiting this kind of behavior?

1/30- WORLD'S ECONOMIC SUPERBOWL: NOT ONE SUNDAY IN FEBRUARY; IT'S EVERY DAY, KARL MARX VERSUS THE HEBREW BIBLE.

2012-01-30T16:17:00.000-08:00

One of America's most prominent rabbis, Rabbi Aryeh Spero, argues the case for Capitalism based, not on Ayn Rand's writings nor Newt Gingrich's speeches nor Mitt Romney's bank accounts. The only back-up Rabbi Spero brings to Sara and Barry is the Holy Hebrew Bible and what IT says about "Capitalism"!

1/27- NO TELEPROMPTERS, BUT YOU'RE FREE TO TAKE A LOOK AROUND!

2012-01-28T09:08:00.000-08:00

Presidents are lucky. They only have to do a "State of the Union" one day a year. Broadcasters have to do it every day. Also, by the way, in broadcasting EVERY day is Election Day! This evening Sara and Barry give their "State of the Union" without teleprompters AND continue their "campaign" for "re-election". You'll know they won if they're back Monday!

1/26- WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CLINTONS AND THE OBAMAS? ALAS, NOT A JOKE!

2012-01-26T16:01:00.000-08:00

Investigative reporter MARINKA PESCHMANN goes under the radar to expose Washington outrages few Americans are angry about or even aware of. Peschmann spotlights how the Clinton team has interwoven and piggy-backed onto the Obama team to continue practices that almost became indictments and possibly impeachment back in the 1990s. Sara and Barry are proud to number themselves among talk-hosts unafraid to let Marinka Peschmann speak.

1/25 Encore Presentation Jack Abramoff

2012-01-25T18:30:00.000-08:00

JACK ABRAMOFF may be in the middle of the biggest and most dramatic comeback in recent American life. This lobbyist whose vast villainy and corruption took America's breath away did a huge hunk of jail time and is now offering detailed prescriptions to all in government who want to cleanse the way business is done. Sara and Barry welcome Jack back this evening

1/24- REPEAT AFTER ME; AND CARRY FLORIDA!

2012-01-24T16:04:00.001-08:00

A triumphant Newt Gingrich says, "I will overthrow the regime of Fidel Castro!" Cuban-born Freedom-Writer Humberto Fontova translates that into real American political English and gives Sara and Barry the blueprint for another volcanic "Newt" moment in the next debate.

1/23- THE IRANIAN DOUBLE-AGENT WHO'S IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE OR IGNORE!

2012-01-23T16:20:00.001-08:00

His name's not real. The voice you'll hear is also not real; it's technologically altered. But "Reza Kahlili's" story is real and riveting. Born in Iran. Educated in the U. S. Reza returned to Iran after the overthrow of the Shah, quickly becoming a bitter foe of the Islamists he saw ruining his country. He became a double-agent and fed valuable information to the CIA. His present claims are staggering; Khameni's forces are planning to murder Ahmedinajad, Iran's plans to retaliate against America and Israel for the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists.

1/20-CNN SUFFERS EARLY NEWT-KNOCKOUT. PATIENT RESTING UNCOMFORTABLY!

2012-01-20T16:19:00.000-08:00

A hen lays an egg and cackles for forty-four minutes. A sturgeon lays ten thousand eggs and never lets out a peep. To embattled media conservatives like Sara and Barry, Newt Gingrich's annihilation of the elitist and biased media during the debate last night is more than "another day on the campaign trail." It's our personal "Mount Surabachi" and Sara and Barry have invited brother conservative ADRIAN VANCE to plant our flag right on top! A solid hour of unapologetic bragging at the manner in which leftist media hatchet-wielding arrogance was suddenly converted into a smoking crater.

1/19-AMERICA TODAY 100% MARXIST; FIFTY PERCENT KARL AND FIFTY PERCENT GROUCHO!

2012-01-19T16:22:00.000-08:00

Pro-Capitalist, anti-Communist immigrant from the Soviet Union LEON WEINSTEIN tells Sara and Barry why suddenly American mass media make him feel like he's back in Soviet Russia; the only difference being that the Communist-controlled media has started doing its propaganda work in English! Who would ever imagine the need for an article in America today under Weinstein's title, "Capitalism is Good!"?

1/18- "IF IT LOOKS LIKE A DUCK AND QUACKS LIKE A DUCK....."

2012-01-18T16:03:00.000-08:00

The last time he was on, talk host and social commentator STEVE GILBERT lashed out at illegal immigrants. Now he's explaining why he's "anti-gay". Sara and Barry want to know why he still insists he's a liberal!

1/17- HE'S AN EVEN BETTER LAW-MAKER THAN HE WAS A LAW-BREAKER!

2012-01-17T16:06:00.000-08:00

1/16-AND THEN THERE WERE FIVE; LeBOUTILLIER SPOTLIGHTS SOUTH CAROLINA

2012-01-16T16:19:00.000-08:00

He's brief, blunt, acerbic acidic and ACCURATE in almost all of his predictions, no matter how wacky they may seem when he launches them. He's former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER and he's part of the new Fox "CAMPAIGN CONFIDENTIAL" team with Doug Schoen and Pat Caddell and he sits with Sara and Barry this evening and begins with South Carolina and doesn't quit until time runs out.

1/13- HEY, OBAMA; FORGET VALERIE. BRING YOUR PROBLEMS TO ADRIAN.

2012-01-13T16:24:00.001-08:00

Writer-professor-scientist-inventor ADRIAN VANCE visits with Sara and Barry and will solve one major national and international problem per five minutes; not counting commercials!

1/12-WILL TIM TEBOW GO AS FAR IN THE PUBLIC MIND WITH WHOLESOMENESS AND RELIGION AS CHE GUEVARA HAS WITH COMMUNISM AND SADISTIC MURDER

2012-01-12T16:11:00.000-08:00

Double-bill this time. Sara and Barry welcome Regent University's Dr. Moreno-Riano commenting on the Tim Tebow upheaval in pro-football. Later the man who knocked Che Guevara off his undeserved perch as a "courageous revolutionary" takes aim at the manufacturers of Mercedes for using the Communist role-model Guevara to sell cars few people in any Communist country could afford.

1/11- SARA AND BARRY'S SHOW FOR ONE EPISODE BECOMES "I'VE GOT A SECRET!"

2012-01-11T16:18:00.000-08:00

This is unusual, if not downright spooky. Sara has no idea what the lead topic of questioning will be this evening when Attorney and civic leader SHANNON TAYLOR is the guest. Barry won't tell her -- until they're on the air. Why not? There's a freaky, almost impossible to believe fact of Jewish life that most American Jews are unaware of and it almost never comes up, but suddenly it IS up in the middle of the Republican candidate's race. Sara isn't Jewish and Barry admits he's withholding vital information from his co-host Sara for a selfish reason. HE WANTS TO SEE SARA'S FACE WHEN SHE LEARNS THIS INCREDIBLE FACT-OF-JEWISH LIFE! Shannon Taylor is quite familiar with it.

1/10-WHY THE DEVIL RAN FROM DAVE'S DOORSTEP

2012-01-10T16:21:00.000-08:00

Defense isn't enough for some people. Early in World War II Mussolini's Italian troops invaded Greece. Little Greece counter-attacked and not only chased the Italians out of Greece, but conquered half of Italy's base of Albania. Nasser's Egypt closed a waterway vital to Israel, and Israel counter-attacked with the Six-Day War destroying five Arab air forces on the ground and taking territory many times Israel's own size. And when the powerful SIEU Union came after Dave Bego's Executive Management Services, Dave not only resisted the attempt to unionize his business, but he exposed the union's thuggery between covers of a book, "The Devil at my Doorstep" and continues to repay the union dozens of times over for their unconscionable harassment. Sara and Barry welcome Dave Bego this evening.

1/9-CAN THREE CONSERVATIVES TO BEAT ONE "TIMID MASSACHUSETTS MODERATE"?

2012-01-09T16:26:00.000-08:00

When the sandwich is good you reorder. When the steak is good you go back. And when the political predictions have a kind of awesome, supernatural accuracy, you invite him back -- and back -- and back yet again. That's why Sara and Barry proudly present yet again former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER hours before the first
-- not CAUCUS -- but actually go-into-the-booth-and-vote kind of election!

1/6- HERE'S WHAT WENT ON, AND HERE'S HOW I KNOW!

2012-01-06T16:23:00.000-08:00

When Barry tells Sara the "untold story about Camp David" in 1977, you'll hang in until he gets to the part about God descending upon all three participants as they were walking in the woods together and grants each one the answer to any question they may ask. Don't jump ship. Barry will follow up with a REAL untold story about that peace conference that, considering the source, may rattle you.

1/5- MR. PRESIDENT AND GENERAL DEMPSEY; YOU'RE WRONG AND YOU'RE DANGEROUS.

2012-01-05T16:18:00.000-08:00

Thank God it's America, where former Private First Class Barry Farber can lean into a microphone and excoriate the Commander in Chief Barack Obama and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Martin Dempsey for what he considers a misguided and dangerous diminution of America's military. Sara did not serve in the military, but she's allowed to speak up, too!

1/4-HEY, STEVE; ARE YOU STILL FOR OBAMA? -- AND OTHER ZINGERS.

2012-01-04T10:46:00.001-08:00

Do Americans realize how unusual it is for personal friendships to survive and even remain unaffected by ideological and political differences that would shatter such a friendship in most other countries? Barry introduces his very old, and very left, friend Steve Gilbert to Sara.

1/3-IT'S TOO LATE TO BE BORED WITH IOWA

2012-01-03T16:24:00.000-08:00

Political exhaustion with Iowa may be total, but this admittedly "over-mined" territory still offers some precious nuggets. Sara and Barry welcome Regent University Distinguish Professor who hammers red-hot question marks into exclamation points; such as -- Can Romney win, and still lose? Can Gingrich lose and then come back? Can Santorum join the once-risen "non-Romneys" like Caine, Perry, Gingrich, etc.? Can Perry spring out of a mega-slump and do well?

1/2- HOW DOES IT LOOK -- NOT TO ME, NOT TO THEE -- BUT TO A COMMENTATOR AND FORMER CONGRESSMAN WITH AN AMAZING RECORD OF ACCURACY IN HIS PREDICTIONS!

2012-01-02T16:02:00.000-08:00

Sara and Barry begin their 2012 broadcasting with former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER with a review and a preview of America's destiny at the intersection of these two extremely important years!

12/30- YOU THINK THE BALL-DROP IS COMPUTERIZED AND PRECISE; DON'T YOU?

2011-12-30T16:17:00.000-08:00

You hate media figures whose carelessness clues in young children to the truth about Santa Claus? Sara and Barry hit a little harder than that this evening as, among other delight of this year-end broadcast, Barry reveals what it was like watching the New Year's Eve ball drop from the roof of 1 Times Square -- the drop-zone building itself.

12/29--NOT SINCE VIET NAME -- WORLD WAR II, REALLY -- HAS THE MILITARY SPOTLIGHT NARROWED ON THE U.S. NAVY AS CLOSLY AS TODAY!

2011-12-29T16:13:00.000-08:00

U. S. Navy Admiral (Ret.) JOSEPH CALLO tells Sara and Barry the size and scope of the Navy's challenge if Iran decides to go ahead and close the Straits of Hormuz. By the way, did any of you have to take orders from sergeants who had comic books sticking out of their back pockets? Admiral Joseph Callo is the author of six books!

12/28-WHICH THREAT TO AMERICA IS IN THE LEAD; POLITICAL CORRECTNESS OR IGNORANCE?

2011-12-28T16:16:00.000-08:00

Sara and Barry will take a few amusing detours this evening but one fixed and firm focus will be on what the MSM is leaving out when they cover Iran's threat to close the Straits of Hormuz.

12/27-IS MEDIA INSULTING US BY MANUFACTURING THINGS LIKE IOWA DRAMA?

2011-12-27T16:06:00.000-08:00

Did you ever feel guilty hyping something as small as an ice cream cone or a movie to a child and, in circus-barker mode, making him think you just gave him the deed to Tiffany? In addition to the normal candidate handicapping, that's one question Sara and Barry will put to former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER this evening.

12/26-Encore Broadcast IT'S HARD TO STAND UP STRAIGHT WITH 100 CONGRESSMEN IN YOUR BACK POCKET.

2011-12-26T12:42:00.000-08:00

It's always exciting when the crook, the enemy spy, the villain suddenly turns and decides to cooperate with the good guys. The greatest "turn" of all time may well be post-prison JACK ABRAMOFF. Abramoff's revelations of Congressional greed and how unscrupulous lobbyists like he was exploit it. Lobbyists are turning Washington into a perpetual political earthquake zone. Sara and Barry learn more in their hour with Mr. Abramoff.

12/23-CHRISTMAS NEEDS MORE STORY-TELLERS LIKE BOB RODRIGUEZ!

2011-12-23T16:10:00.000-08:00

Talk radio doesn't call them "encores". Usually there's a rather long period between guest appearances and we just call the"repeat performances"! In the case of folklorist BOB RODRIGUEZ, however, Sara and Barry just couldn't get enough of his stories last Tuesday, so this evening, we'll call it an ENCORE!

12/22-DO THE GOP, GLOBAL WARMING AND AMERICAN CIVILIZATION MAKE A NOISE WHEN THEY EXPLODE?

2011-12-22T16:03:00.000-08:00

The biggest news story of the day may appear to be the Republican "surrender" on the payroll tax flap. Sara and Barry choose to go with two stories they consider more important; namely, the collapse of the Global Warming "scam" and the collapse of civilization, beginnng with rural California. Both stories brought to us by writer-professor-scientist-inventor ADRIAN VANCE.

12/21- THE ONLY NORTH KOREAN VETERAN TO BECOME AN AMERICAN CITIZEN SPEAKS OUT.

2011-12-21T16:18:00.000-08:00

Sara and Barry bring on the only veteran of the North Korean Communist Army that invaded South Korea in 1950. He's ZANG GI HONG and Sara and Barry in no way seek to preen and razz the news channels as a result of such a scoop. After Mr. Zang's analysis of what's going on in his forbidden homeland, Barry will reveal how Mr. Zang became a Cold War celebrity by travelling farther to escape Communism than anyone else in history and how Barry met him in Vienna when Zang escaped Communist Hungary and made it possible for him to come to America.

12/20-HE HAS NO SIGHT, BUT, MAN, WHAT VISION!

2011-12-20T16:06:00.000-08:00

Sara and Barry have a guarantee for you. As you hear their super-knowledgeble and super-cheerful, folkist-guest ROBERT RODRIGUEZ regale one and all with stories, jokes, songs and legends from around the world, you will be totally incapable of believing he's been totally blind since birth!

12/19-UNWRAPPING THE PLANET'S MYSTERY PRESENT: A NEW BOSS IN NORTH KOREA!

2011-12-19T16:19:00.001-08:00

Sara and Barry invite former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER to extend his reach beyond the usual Iowa-New Hampshire-South Carolina to include North Korea.

12/16-COME WALLOW WITH US IN THE WAKE OF THE REALLY, REALLY BIG DEBATE!

2011-12-16T16:26:00.000-08:00

Sara and Barry agree they may have been "over-rejecting" wallowing around after GOP debates to argue who did how and why. Both are journalists. Both are sworn to avoid "cliche". And when literally everybody else is doing it, that's a cliche! However, a little wallowing may be in order after the Fox Sioux City debate. Not the whole hour. Just a little wallowing.

12/15- A GREAT DAY IN THE LIFE OF A MEMBER OF THE GREATEST GENERATION!

2011-12-15T16:19:00.000-08:00

You may think Barry's opening story is a tribute to his beloved Uncle Al, who died yesterday well up in his 90s. Not exactly, Barry promises to dash over Al's World War II service quickly and tell of an experience that -- fair warning -- may change listeners' view of sexual harassment -- males hitting on females -- forever.

12/14- "I'M BORED. WANNA GO CHASE THE MAN-EATING SQUID ACROSS THE MIN

2011-12-14T16:20:00.001-08:00

Barry's idea of adventure is crossing the Mason-Dixon Line, but some of his best friends are big-time adventurers, none more so than FROSTY WOOLDRIDGE, author of "How To Live a Life of Adventure". Sara and Barry will pepper Frosty with adoring AND challenging questions without engendering a saccharine OR a hostile environment.

12/13- WHAT IF WE GLOBAL WARMERS ARE LIARS. AIN'T WE GOT A RIGHT TO BE SENSITIVE ABOUT IT?

2011-12-13T16:03:00.000-08:00

Just as the sexy blonde can divert attention from the wise old sage, all the noise from the GOP race is obscuring the highly important fact that so-called "Global Warming" and its supposedly-less-controversial little brother "Climate Change" are coming apart like an Alka-Seltzer tablet under Niagara Falls! Two preview fact-lets: Britain's Sir David Attenborough is DEFENDING the BBC's use of fake polar bear footage and citizens of this American "Land of the Free" owe thanks for scientific revelation to PAGE ONE OF THE LEADING NEWSPAPER IN COMMUNIST CHINA! Sara and Barry welcome writer-professor-scientist-inventor ADRIAN VANCE for cutting-edge coverage.

12/12-IS YOUR CANDIDATE'S SCALP NAILED TO LeBOUTILLIER'S GAME-ROOM WALL?

2011-12-12T16:28:00.000-08:00

Sara and Barry get an up-to-the-instant review of the GOP race including, not just the candidates, but the debate moderators, Diane Sawyer and George Stephanoupoulos from former New York Representative JOHN LeBOUTILLIER. If you like "nice", then on this show you shouldn't depend. LeBoutillier can be withering!

12/9- (Quoting a female soldier with purple fingernails in basic training) "Sarge, do I have to carry this sticky thing?" (She meant her bayonet!)

2011-12-09T16:16:00.000-08:00

Many years ago Barry read a hilarious article in the Reader's Digest by a highly educated woman who joined the Army and found a few things missing, lacking, maybe askew in America's fitness to fight. Her name is KATE O'NEILL and she's still fighting for a more effective military and this evening tells Sara and Barry all about it.

(Quoting a female soldier with purple fingernails in basic training) "Sarge, do I have to carry this 'sticky' thing?" (She meant her bayonet!)

12/8- COULD OBAMA EVER BE THIS ANTI-OBAMA?

2011-12-08T16:16:00.000-08:00

Those who oppose the re-election of President Obama got a jolt when they saw the title of DR. DON BOYS latest column was "Obama Can Win With This Speech in 2012!" They needn't have feared. Obama would go into cardiac conniptions if he were to touch the paper Dr. Boys's speech was written on. Sara and Barry nonetheless reveal the magic words Dr. Boys says Obama should use.

12/7- OK, SO YOU REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR. DO YOU REMEMBER THE SONG?

2011-12-07T16:14:00.000-08:00

For, perhaps, the first time in broadcast history, Barry will be a guest on his own show! After a tough serious deliberations in which Barry asked Sara who can we get who remembers Pearl Harbor who won't clam up on radio, it dawned on them that the only one they knew with those qualifications was Barry himself.

12/6-TURNING THE LIGHTS ON LABOR!

2011-12-06T16:12:00.000-08:00

You get no more points in football if you keep running after you've already crossed the goal line. DAVE BEGO can't quit running, however, and his score against Big Labor continues to rise. After successfully overcoming union intimidation and outright thuggery in their attempt to unionize Dave's national office cleaning service -- Executive Management Services -- Bego has mounted an ongoing campaign to expose union tactics and encourage and embolden more businessmen like himself to stand up and fight back.

12/5- WHILE WE'RE AT IT, JOHN; WHO LOST EGYPT?

2011-12-05T16:21:00.000-08:00

It may be shocking for legislators to allow lobbyists to write bills for them, but it feels absolutely fine allowing a legislator to write questions for a talk show. Here's what's on former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER's mind as he sits with Sara and Barry this evening: Will Newt displace Mitt? Will Newt implode BEFORE or AFTER he gets the nomination? Is the economy REALLY improving? Is Europe's economy holding and molding Obama's re-election chances?

12/2-HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY ABOUT WHAT I DID IN 1959?

2011-12-02T16:18:00.000-08:00

It may have been the best magazine cartoon in history. It showed a gaggle of penguins on an Antarctic ice cap; all decked out in their "tuxedoes", which is what all penguins wear. All except one! One penguin who drew a curious crowd of other penguins wore a natty beret, sun-glasses, gold chain, checkered vest and draped pants. In his mouth was a long, rhinestone-studded cigarette holder. The caption was, "I just got tired of being so damned formal all the time!" Barry got tired of being married -- NOT to Sara -- but to the headlines of the moment. In this episode, Barry seeks to prove you can wander far from page one and still attract a "curious gaggle".

12/1-LEFTIST ANTI-COMMUNISTS ARE THE BEST KIND. THEY GET THE TOUGHEST WORKOUTS FROM THEIR FRIENDS.

2011-12-01T17:13:00.001-08:00

Can you imagine how you'd feel it you looked at your change and found a fifty-cent piece from the 1930s? Sara and Barry deliver another rarity; a self-described "anti-Communist leftist"! JOHN KOROLY, social commentator and critic, is a member of the Socialist Party of America with some keen, refreshing views on the upcoming Presidential election.

11/30-JUST BETWEEN US CUBANS, MARCO; WILL YOU RUN?

2011-11-30T16:13:00.000-08:00

Is Florida Senator Marco Rubio getting denial-fatigue, or is he backing off his denials that he might accept the vice-presidential spot on the GOP ticket? Brother Cuban HUMBERTO FONTOVA, author of mind-changing books about Castro's regime, who knows Rubio gives Sara and Barry his best guess.

11/29- IS MITT AGILE, OR MERELY SLICK?

2011-11-29T16:33:00.000-08:00

Sara and Barry, in order to ensure a superior radio hour AND to strengthen America, again call upon former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER to lend coherence to our chaotic political mosaic.

11/28-DEAR DAD. HERE'S AT LEAST A HINT OF HOW MUCH WE MISS YOU

2011-11-28T16:43:00.000-08:00

Without knowing what Barry knows, this evening's visit with DEIRDRE TOLHURST would be just another interview with the author of a delightful Christmas story for children. Barry happened to be a good friend of Pat Doyle, legendary police reporter for the New York Daily News. Deirdre is Pat's daughter. For years Barry has known Pat's other daughter, Mary. Pat died over twenty years ago, and his daughters' unflagging, almost volcanic love for him and their efforts to keep his memory alive after these decades is the real story Sara and Barry explore with Deirdre over her love-letter to her own "father in Heaven" entitled, "A Christmas I Remember".

11/25-TELL US THE ONE ABOUT THE DAFFY LEGENDARY CLERGYMAN OF IRAN, BOB!

2011-11-25T16:38:00.000-08:00

Barry got a call earlier today from a man he calls one of the happiest people he ever met. He called to wish Sara and Barry Thanksgiving greetings and to alert them that the Military Channel was featuring a series on Nazi collaborators and the episode on Latvia carried some disturbing graphic material. What's so unusual about that? Only that the caller, BOB RODRIGUEZ, has been totally blind from birth! Sara and Barry invite Bob to talk of his life as a professor or folklore who spends a lot of time on airplanes flying to record folk festivals in Wales or story-telling competitions in Tennessee.

11/24-Encore Broadcast IT'S HARD TO STAND UP STRAIGHT WITH 100 CONGRESSMEN IN YOUR BACK POCKET

2011-11-23T20:02:00.000-08:00

Happy Thanksgiving!

It's always exciting when the crook, the enemy spy, the villain suddenly turns and decides to cooperate with the good guys. The greatest "turn" of all time may well be post-prison JACK ABRAMOFF. Abramoff's revelations of Congressional greed and how unscrupulous lobbyists like he was exploit it. Lobbyists are turning Washington into a perpetual political earthquake zone. Sara and Barry learn more in their hour with Mr. Abramoff.

11/23-Barry Farber Show

2011-11-23T20:00:00.000-08:00

A master of language and a joy to hear, Barry's articles have appeared in The New York Times, Reader's Digest, and the Washington Post. Among books he has written are Making People Talk, How to Learn Any Language, How to Conceal Stupidity, and his current bestseller How to Not Make the Same Mistake Once. Like his writings, Barry's talk show brings listeners wisdom, insight, and first-hand knowledge from a cosmopolitan mind and down-home heart full of charm, sweetness, and the warmth of a deep and steady inner fire. One taste and your listeners will agree that Barry Farber is to talk radio what a fine wine is to a good meal.

11/22-GINGRICH ON TOP? I MUST HAVE BLINKED!

2011-11-22T16:19:00.000-08:00

Here's that man again, luckily for Sara and Barry! Barry has long pin-pointed JOHN LeBOUTILLIER as the owner of the "best political mind in America!" Number 2, on Barry's list, is NEWT GINGRICH. For the first time in many appearances, former New York Congressman LeBOUTILLIER gets a chance to comment on his runner-up in the mentality department as front-runner in the race for the Republican nomination for president.

11/21- WHO SAYS FAILURE CAN'T BE GOOD NEWS. MEET THE "SUPERCOMMITTEE!"

2011-11-21T16:19:00.001-08:00

Among those Americans not the slightest bit unhappy about the failure of the Supercommittee is WAYNE ALLYN ROOT, Libertarian Candidate for vice president in 2008, who tells Sara and Barry why those who have the nation's best interests at heart consider the Supercommittee's failure America's success!

11/18- WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE? PICK A CZAR; ANY CZAR!

2011-11-18T16:26:00.000-08:00

America has more "czars" today than Russia ever had. So far the only Americans paying attention are the comedians. ADRIAN VANCE finds nothing funny about Obama's czar-lineup and tells Sara and Barry exactly why.

11/17-WHAT'S GOING ON DOWNTOWN?

2011-11-17T16:12:00.000-08:00

Did the New York chapter of Occupy-Wall-Street find a bridle -- or lose a horse? Fox News anchor Shepherd Smith said, "They promised a day of action and, boy, did they ever deliver! However, Sara and Barry, New York residents, wouldn't have known a mouse was stirring if it weren't for the media. Sara and Barry will agree, the Last-Battle-of-Berlin, it was not. No further agreement is guaranteed!

11/16- GOING DOWN. NO THANKS. MY "UP" BUTTON IS STILL WORKING!

2011-11-16T16:11:00.000-08:00

First, understand the rules. If you give a million dollars to any financial advisor to invest, there's no guarantee you'll have a single penny left by sundown. However, in this sagging economy, one financial advisor who gets smiles and compliments from his clients is ROBERT RICHTER of Newport Beach, California who tells Sara and Barry his own commandments for reversing the direction of financial gravity in today's market.

11/15-WHAT ARE THE ODDS THAT THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE ISN'T IN THE RACE YET?

2011-11-15T16:02:00.000-08:00

Sara and Barry again reach out for the guest Barry has long referred to as "The owner of the best political mind in the English language!" He's former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER brimming with the latest high-and-inside observations on the ever-changing race for the GOP presidential nomination.

11/14- IT'S HARD TO STAND UP STRAIGHT WITH 100 CONGRESSMEN IN YOUR BACK POCKET.

2011-11-14T16:17:00.000-08:00

11/11-THE MOST INSANE INSULT-EVEN FROM MICHAEL MOORE

2011-11-11T16:20:00.000-08:00

Cuban freedom-writer HUMBERTO FONTOVA answers Michael Moore's gratuitous and breath-taking insult against Cuban- Americans in our military!

11/10-MY MOST UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTER: WHAT'S-HIS-NAME?

2011-11-10T17:00:00.001-08:00

Sara and Barry celebrate "Rick Perry Appreciation Night" as they recall forgetting things at the wrong time.

11/9- IN THIS CORNER, TAKING MONUMENTAL HITS BUT STILL STANDING; HERMAN CAIN!

2011-11-09T16:01:00.000-08:00

Funny. Everybody seems to have more to SAY ABOUT Herman Cain than to ASK ABOUT Herman Cain. Sara and Barry are no different, and they'll be joined by writer-professor-scientist-inventor ADRIAN VANCE, who's one of those favored guests most like to get a word in edgewise!

11/8-HERMAN SAYS IT AIN'T SO!

2011-11-08T16:12:00.000-08:00

Sara and Barry judge Herman Cain on his appearance repudiating all of his accusers so far. They then judge each other on their respective conclusions and feelings about the present state of the Cain candidacy.

11/7- DO WE DOUBT HERMAN, HIS ACCUSERS OR BOTH?

2011-11-07T16:16:00.000-08:00

They finally put a female fact out against Herman Cain. Sara and Barry share views with former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER and weigh in with best-guesses on whether or not we'll long have Herman Cain to kick around!

11/4- "C'MON, BARRY. WE'RE ALL FRIENDS. LOOSEN UP. MAY I HELP YOU OFF WITH YOUR TIE?”

2011-11-04T16:33:00.000-07:00

Barry, unencumbered by any "silence" clause in any "agreement" has un-reluctantly agreed to tell Sara and the listeners how a team of attractive young women tried to snare Barry in a "bimbo-cluster" trap and destroy his campaign for Congress against Bella Abzug in 1970. If only Herman Cain had staffers as clever as Barry's aide who brilliantly (and quite comically) pulled a trick that destroyed the plot right there in the living room of the party. (Actually in the BATHROOM! Don't miss it.)

11/3- IS SEIU, THE "FRANKENSTEIN UNION" LOSING ITS LIMBS TO THUG-CELL LEPROSY AND MEMBER UPRISING?

2011-11-03T16:26:00.001-07:00

Anti-union listeners are advised to remain calm; what follows may be exaggerated as many news stories are. However, Sara and Barry will hear DAVE BEGO's report on the union that tried to intimidate him into a "neutrality" agreement and, when they failed, tried to put him out of business through lies and thuggery; namely the powerful Service Employees International Union (SEIU). Insiders apparently are beginning to rise up in protest of paying dues to support left-wing politicians. Members who ask questions and demand they pay dues strictly for member benefits are treated with the same thuggery Dave was. We'll learn about the "two brave ladies" challenging the SEIU to "throw open their books". Dave is qualified to judge bravery. It takes one to know one.

11/2-CAN THE MIDEAST COMPETE WITH ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HERMAN CAIN?

2011-11-02T16:08:00.000-07:00

Last Friday's intended sweep of all the Mideast headlines got swept aside by a geyser of denunciations by DR. EUGENE NARRETT against almost every action taken by the British against Israel and the Jews. Tonight, we return to the original Mideast agenda, beginning with the standing ovation given by the United Nations delegates to the admission of the Palestinians to UNESCO, an arm of the UN, and Israel's retaliation.

11/1-Josef Feld

2011-11-01T17:04:00.000-07:00

Do you know the difference between "match-making" and "on-line dating"? If you're happily married, this will be interesting. If you're single and looking, this hour with Sara and Barry's "Match-Making friend, JOSEF FELD may be too important to your personal happiness to miss.

10/31- HE SAID WHAT? "YOU'RE AS TALL AS MY WIFE". SHOCKING!

2011-10-31T16:32:00.000-07:00

"Like Mason said to Dixon, you gotta draw a line somewhere?" Barry gave up saying that in 1948; too corny. He slipped and said it again in a radio control room in 1977, and all the young people around laughed; roared, in fact. So, what's old can sometimes get new again, but Sara and Barry have decided this Halloween Night is the night the old politics of "Get Sexual Harasser Herman Cain!" gets a stake of Transylvanian oak driven through its heart, Dracula-style. It's "Full Speed Ahead, Herman"; at least for Sara and Barry.

10/28- IS ANYTHING GOING WELL FOR FREEDOM IN THE MIDEAST?

2011-10-28T16:05:00.000-07:00

Sara and Barry welcome DR. EUGENE NARRETT, author of four books on geo-politics, and spotlight his most recent one; "WWIII: The War on the Jews". Dr. Narrett shines the brightest light yet into dark corners of the Middle East; Libya, Syria, Iran and the start-up engine of the "Arab Spring"; Tunisia. Israel, stays on center-stage virtually throughout.

10/27-CAN THE GOP SURVIVE MANY MORE DEBATES?

2011-10-27T16:20:00.001-07:00

When the irresistible force (the Republican race) meets the immovable object (boredom) Sara and Barry bring on the owner of the best political mind in the English language; former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER to make it all exciting again. In broadcasting, EVERY day is "election day", and Barry says John is such a powerful guest it makes him feel like a bully bringing him on, making all the other political commentators look like featherweights.

10/26- "DEAR MR. ROBINSON": WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU.

2011-10-26T16:13:00.000-07:00

Some letters become so famous they're called "Epistles"! Sara and Barry ask writer-scientist-inventor ADRIAN VANCE about a letter he just wrote to the one man best positioned to rid America of the absurd notion that human activity causes "global warming". Sara, Barry AND Adrian all agree before a single word is spoken that he'll get no answer to his (maybe small "e") epistle.

10/25-MARCO RUBIO: TOO POPULAR NOT TO LIE ABOUT

2011-10-25T16:03:00.000-07:00

It used to be in America that your political opponents would attack you as soon as you became an opponent. Now they do it well in advance. Sara and Barry get famous Cuban-American writer HUMBERTO FONTOVA's report on the attempt to smear politically potent Florida Senator MARCO RUBIO by insinuating he changed his family story to make it more politically advantageous.

10/24- SAY WHAT? YOU MEAN LSD IS IN AGAIN?

2011-10-24T16:39:00.000-07:00

It didn't take quite as long as Haley's Comet to come back around, but LSD is back to 1966 levels of hype, hope and promise. Sara and Barry get the "new" word on LSD from one of America's earliest researchers, DR. JAMES FADIMAN.

10/21- RIGHT THIS WAY. WATCH THE WHITE HOUSE TAKE LEMONS AND MAKE LEMONADE!

2011-10-21T16:12:00.000-07:00

If Sara and Barry can manage to close their stuck-wide-open mouths at Obama's attempt to spray-deodorize the manner of America's leaving Iraq as a victory, they will lay out the reasons they interpret our departure otherwised-ly!

10/20-HOW MANY CHEERS FOR OBAMA?

2011-10-20T16:25:00.000-07:00

American sportsmanship says, "Give the president credit for the elimination of Khadafi. History says, "Nonsense. If President Roosevelt had fought back against Japan but only "led from behind" against Hitler leading to a much longer European war, should FDR have been congratulated for destroying Hitler? Sara and Barry get expert answers from Associate Professor David Meyer of Regent University.

10/19-HUSH, OBAMA. DON'T LAUGH YET!

2011-10-19T16:08:00.001-07:00

Anybody can score a political debate; admittedly not at well as former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER. Sara and Barry study John's scoreboard and ascend to the higher level where his political mentality enables him to soar. Namely; forget "Who Won?" The real question is, did the Republican Party present a Reagan-like face to the American people.

10/18- IS HERMAN'S "FOURTH 9" THE JOKER?

2011-10-18T16:24:00.000-07:00

Backstage, Sara and Barry call him "Adrian-the-Explainer". He's writer-professor-scientist-inventor ADRIAN VANCE and among his assignments for explanation is HERMAN CAIN's "9-9-9" recipe for America's rebound.

Encore Presentation from 5/31/11 Rita Cosby-Rita's Real Life Drama

2011-10-17T19:33:00.000-07:00

-TV star RITA COSBY unfolds a highly painful part of her personal life clam-shell style to reveal an unusual true-life plot that outclasses what actors and actresses in fiction-TV do in sheer drama.

10/14-IRAQ. AFGHANISTAN, LIBYA. DID SOMEBODY SAY "UGANDA"?

2011-10-14T16:07:00.000-07:00

Sara and Barry debate the thorny issue of whether or not Americans should support the dispatch of armed troops to eliminate the worst human rights abuse on earth.

10/13-WHOEVER THINKS IT'S BETTER TO LIGHT A CANDLE THAN CURSE THE DARKNESS, NEVER HEARD HUMBERTO FONTOVA CURSE DARKNESS!

2011-10-13T16:11:00.000-07:00

A Brazilian dredging company wants the contract for dredging BOTH Miami harbor AND the port of Mariel, Cuba. Miami is largely populated by victims of the Stalinist dictatorship of Fidel Castro. Sara and Barry welcome Cuban Freedom-Writer HUMBERTO FONTOVA for what might become an energetic opinion or two on the topic.

10/12-BEFORE RUNNING THE PLAY; CHECK WITH COACH!

2011-10-12T13:45:00.000-07:00

Sara and Barry bring on the architect of one of the fastest growing political websites in America. He's KEVIN "COACH" COLLINS of www.coach-is-right.com which has the distinction, according to Barry, of never, absolutely never, running anything unimportant or uninteresting.

10/11- WITH THE GUTS OF DAVE BEGO, YOU CAN FIGHT A LOT MORE THAN CITY HALL!

2011-10-11T16:34:00.000-07:00

Some pains never go away and some medicine erases pain forever. Sara and Barry welcome DAVID BEGO whose adamant and heroic stand-up to the pressure of giant union SEIU (Service Employees International Union) will forever ache in those union halls and whose example will continue to inspire true labor freedom in America. The story explodes out of Bego's book, "The Devil At My Doorstep".

10/10-CAN THE PRESIDENT TAKE THE PRESSURE?

2011-10-10T16:15:00.001-07:00

Out of many obvious political stories demanding coverage today -- Fast-and-Furious, Solyndra, the GOP field with Herman Cain in the lead -- the one story Sara and Barry want to explore first is the distressing "rumor" that President Obama is showing extremely disturbing signs of caving in under all the pressure. He allegedly calls it a day around 4 p. m., has dinner with his family and retreats to an office with stacks of papers. Major cabinet members; Clinton and Geithner, complain they can't get his attention. Is this repeat of Nixon's talking aloud to the portraits of earlier presidents in lonely walks through the White House! Former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER adds his news and views.

10/6- YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO KNOW THE LANGUAGE!

2011-10-06T16:08:00.001-07:00

Barry believes the real story of Obama's press conference this morning could be grasped even by an observer who didn't understand English. He explains to Sara.

10/5-C'MON, FRED. JOCKS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DUMB!

2011-10-05T16:18:00.001-07:00

The most enjoyable harpoon-thrower at targets in any and all parties is star actor and NFL football player FRED DRYER, who allows Barry to sit behind him as he throws!

10/4-HE TELLS US SO, BUT NEVER BRAGS "I TOLD YOU SO!"

2011-10-04T16:33:00.000-07:00

Babe Ruth never bored his fans knocking home runs. Nor did Tom Brady ever bore Boston fans by scoring the game-winning touchdown with the two-minute offense at the tail-end of the game. Sara and Barry, likewise, don't feel like yawning as former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER "Strikes Again" with one of his bold predictions. At risk of offending some of his writing employers with opposite opinions, LeBoutillier resoundingly predicted that New Jersey Governor CHRIS CHRISTIE would NOT enter the GOP race. Now, this former congressman and present-day Cassandra tells us more.

10/3- NO WONDER MY COUSIN VINNY CALLS THEM "YOOTS"!

2011-10-03T16:17:00.001-07:00

You've heard of the Golden Globe Awards? Sara and Barry suggest the Tin-Ear Award to the politically, economically and historically illiterate young people "Occupying Wall Street", not just in New York, but spreading to multiple elsewheres.

9/30-AMERICA'S "SOFT"? LET ME COUNT THE WAYS.

2011-09-30T16:04:00.000-07:00

Sara and Barry run a live show, so there's no guarantee here, but Sara's liable to take action ranging from disagreement to anger to smiting Barry with her handbag when he gives President Obama his first ever congratulations for saying America's gotten a little "soft".

9/29-WHO SAYS TEA CAN'T BE GREEN?

2011-09-29T16:56:00.000-07:00

He's been called a "political magician" but CURTIS ELLIS insists there's nothing odd about his "green-tea party coalition" called the American Jobs Alliance. Sara and Barry learn more about this growing force to end the unfair trade relationships that are hobbling America.

9/28-WHO WILL THE GOP PICK? NO ONE KNOWS, BUT SARA AND BARRY KNOW THE BEST GUESSER!

2011-09-28T14:12:00.001-07:00

Whosoever juts his nose into the air and says, "Only idiots are following the Republican race this early!" stands to miss a lot of free excitement: Perry blunders badly, but still leads Romney; Cain gets more in Florida straw poll than Perry and Romney combined; Michelle Bachmann, who won the Iowa straw poll, finished last in Florida; Santorum, Gingrich and Ron Paul point to supporters who "prove" it's not a two-man race. Will Christie jump in? How about Palin? Ignore it at your peril, or follow it to your delight as Sara and Barry again bring on former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER for his analysis, guesswork and the most amazing record of accurate BOLD predictions compiled by any observer so far.

9/27-IS IT TRUE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT PAKISTAN?

2011-09-27T16:35:00.000-07:00

Sara and Barry welcome RYAN MAURO, as close to a one-man intelligence service as one man can get. He landed his first job in international intelligence at the age of 16! Mauro's concentration at the moment is Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan; right where we need it most. Mauro is founder of WorldThreats.com, the National Security Advisor for the Christian Action Network and is a strategic analyst for the Asymmetrical Warfare Center.

9/26- LENDERS BEWARE; YOU MAY HAVE TO PAY YOURSELF BACK!

2011-09-26T16:02:00.000-07:00

Writer-teacher-inventor ADRIAN VANCE previews a California law that Josef Stalin would have called "leftist insanity" -- a law AGAINST FORECLOSURES; if you can believe it! Sara and Barry know and trust Adrian, or they wouldn't believe him and they'd never invite him on!

9/23- WHO'S ON FIRST WAS FUNNY IN THE 1930S. NOW, WHO'S ON TOP IS EVEN FUNNIER!

2011-09-23T12:40:00.000-07:00

One valid headline from last night's Fox debate might be, "JOHN LeBOUTILLIER STRIKES AGAIN!"

The former New York Congressman's amazing record for bold political predictions continues, in fact, escalates. LeBoutillier was far from alone in predicting that if Texas governor Rick Perry jumped into the race he would enter at the top of the GOP heap. LeBoutillier WAS the first, however, to predict Perry's fading. Fox's Megan Kelly asked a roomful of debate watchers on her afternoon show how many thought Perry "did well" in the debate. Not a single hand went up. The New York Times tells us Rick Santorum decked the front-runner on Perry's Texas version of the "Dream Act".

9/22- PALESTINIAN STATEHOOD? GREAT IDEA. LET'S FORGET IT!

2011-09-22T16:19:00.001-07:00

Sara and Barry welcome DR. PAUL BONICELLO, a former top official of the U. S. Agency for International Development and now executive vice president of Regent University whose current writings remind us that, although baseball is limited to the "triple-play", diplomacy allows for even more failure. Dr. Bonicelli cites America's handling of the Palestinian plunge for statehood as lose-lose-lose-and-lose for all concerned; and some who don't yet realize they're concerned!.

9/21-Not FLAT, but FAIR tax!

2011-09-21T16:10:00.000-07:00

Hiccups go unnoticed during an earthquake, but this is no hiccup! A fascinating by-product of all the political turmoil in America is this: America's tax code and tax mode, seemingly as fixed and immutable as a Rocky Mountain itself, has never in our history been more open to change. HANS TRUPP is a business man who's been campaigning for the Fair Tax for years now. He's more determined than ever to educate Americans to the details of what he believes is a "nation-saving" way of collecting revenue from ourselves. Sara and Barry get the story.

9/20- ANY COMMENT, MR. CLINTON?

2011-09-20T16:31:00.000-07:00

Silence can speak louder than words. Which silence in the world today speaks most loudly? Dr. Charles Dunn suggests it's the sudden silence of former President Bill Clinton who, Dr. Dunn suspects, is planning to mastermind a primary challenge to Obama by his wife, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Dr. Dunn, a President Reagan and President George W. Bush appointee, now serving as Regent University Distinguished Professor of Government, tells Barry all about it. Dr. Dunn is the editor of the recently published, The Presidency in the 21st Century (UPK, 2011) and author of The Seven Laws of Presidential Leadership (Pearson/Prentice-Hall, 2007).

9/19- IF THAT'S FIDEL, WE'RE WATCHING THE WRONG PLAY!

2011-09-19T16:08:00.001-07:00

You don't have to blink. You saw right and you read right. Not that the boiling Middle East needs another player, but there he is, and it's very easy to guess whose side he's on. Welcome to Fidel Castro, who rushes into every troublesome vacuum on the planet. America's champion Cuba-watcher, Fidel-basher and Che debunker HUMBERTO FONTOVA guide Sara and Barry to an understanding of what Fidel's up to!

9/16- DAMIAN, YOU'RE A GENIUS. THAT EXPLAINS SOLYNDRA!

2011-09-16T14:00:00.001-07:00

No, you don't necessarily have to have starred in a movie, written a book or run for office and won. Sara and Barry are just as thrilled with someone who offers an idea; a theory; on a scandal like Solyndra as interesting -- in fact, as staggering -- as the theory brought to the table by DAMIAN HOUSMAN.

9/15- FINDING DEBTORS; TOUGH JOB. WHY IS IT SOMETIMES TOUGH TO FIND MISSING HEIRS?

2011-09-15T16:05:00.000-07:00

HOWARD GROSS, who regaled the CRN audience with his incredible knowledge of all the great movies of 1939, pulls a dazzling act of flexibility and will now dazzle Sara and Barry with his real-life adventures locating missing heirs to great fortunes.

9/14-New York Congressional District 9! Republican! Pinch me!

2011-09-14T16:15:00.001-07:00

Sara and Barry have invited former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER to comment on the incredible win by Republican Bob Turner in New York's three-to-one-Democratic Ninth Congressional District last night. If John is unable to tamp down his jubilation by show time, Barry and Sara will exchange views with each other, or maybe play the Mantovani Strings.
