12/28-WE'VE GOT A CONGRESS. WE'VE GOT A CLIFF. DO WE HAVE A CLUE?
Americans no longer expect to hear the real State-of-the-Union from the president. To learn the real State-of-the-Union you need to hear from Americans like professor-writer-scientist-inventor ADRIAN VANCE who has the nerve to ask if this president knows what planet this is and the knowledge to defend the question. Don't tune in if you're a nuts-and-bolts person interested only in details like whether the tax hikes will hit at the $250,000 income, $400,000 or something else. This one is for Americans deeply in love with and deeply concerned about this America.

12/27- IN STORY BOOKS, MOVIES AND A 1940'S CHILDHOOD; ONLY THE NATIONS THAT CAUSED SUFFERING SUFFERED THEMSELVES. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO US?
It may not be a torrent of thinking your clergyman would praise, but Barry is willing to admit he's spent a lot of time rejoicing at the misery of bad guys. He started as a preteen loving the fact that Hitler's Nazi troops who invaded Russia were freezing at the gates of Moscow. And Italian dictator Mussolini was fleeing for his life, unsuccessfully. And yes, all the boys in the neighborhood except one were all happy at the news that America had an atomic bomb and Japan had one less city. Barry feels, unlike those world-class villains, America deserves better than the financial misery that looms far beyond the little hiccup of the "fiscal cliff". Former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER makes a house call to give Barry some aid and comfort. LeBoutillier visits with Sara and Barry this evening.

12/26-SENATOR JOHN KERRY PULLS THE WRONG SOW BY THE EAR!
Sen. John Kerry will likely sail through the Senate confirmation process to become America's next Secretary of State. HUMBERTO FONTOVA, Cuban-born "freedom writer" relates some history, which, if all one hundred senators were either Humberto's or Sara's or Barry's; Kerry's name wouldn't even be uttered, much less nominated and confirmed. The Communists tried to trash the Nicaraguan Contras by alleging they were a bunch of drug-traffickers. Kerry lept into the publicity fray and denounced Cuban freedom-fighter Felix Rodriguez as a drug-runner himself. Rodriguez is the anti-Communist Cuban who was so grateful to be given American citizenship, he immediately volunteered for combat in Viet Nam, flying 300 helicopter combat missions. He's the jungle fighter who captured Che Guevara in Bolivia. Rodriguez immediately unhinged Sen. Kerry by demanding open hearings to clear his name and he even refused a lawyer and he refused immunity. Fontova visits with Sara and Barry this evening to report the blow by blow.

12/21 "I'M NOT SAYING WE'RE OVER THE CLIFF, BUT. WHAT A GREAT VIEW WE HAVE OF THE VALLEY!"/21-
Professor-Writer-Scientist-Inventor ADRIAN VANCE is among the knowing, caring Americans with much to contribute, and this evening, at Yule and Year's End, he does his contributing as he visits with Sara and Barry.

12/20-"YOU AMERICANS ARE GOING TO HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT AND HE'S A COMMUNIST AND WAIT 'TIL YOU SEE WHAT HE DOES!"
Writer-columnist PAUL HOLLRAH stands as a pillar of journalistic integrity resisting any and all temptations to put a two and a two together in an effort to reach a conspiratorial number other than four. This time, however, Hollrah begs his readers' patience while he stretches a now-ancient blog on the subject of "The First Time I Ever Heard of Barack Obama" into a highly-conspiratorial interpretation of America's financial plight. Hollrah visits with Sara and Barry this evening.

12/19-CHESS ENTHUSIASTS OF ALL AGES ADMIRED THE YOUNG PRODIGY, BOBBY FISHER. PIANO-LOVERS ADMIRED THE YOUTHFUL GENIUS OF VAN CLIBURN. IF YOU HAVE ANY INTEREST AND REGARD FOR THE SECURITY OF THESE UNITED STATES, HEAR AND HEED RYAN MAURO ON CRN.
Barry and Sara are seldom unkind on the air. Their creed is, "Never hurt anybody, except on purpose!" However, this evening they offer two shows for the price of one. RYAN MAURO is National Security Analyst for RadicalIslam.org. He got his first serious job in international security at the age of sixteen. As you listen to this young man's abilities to understand and explain the ways and means of those who want to do AMERICA harm, try to remember the pathetic performances at the Congressional hearings of the momentarily-nameless State Department official forced to resign today as a result of the Benghazi Report. The next important election in almost two years away. But the kind of hope Ryan Mauro represents needs no refrigeration! Ryan visits with Sara and Barry this evening.

12/18-TWO IMPOSSIBILITIES: AN ITALIAN DESCRIBING AN ACCORDION WITHOUT USING HIS HANDS, AND WALKING THROUGH THE "LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM" WITHOUT AT LEAST SILENTLY HUMMING THE APPROPRIATE CAROL.
It's no secret who digs for our salt, our silver, our iron, our gold, etc. Who excavates one of the greatest treasures of all; our Christmas carols? It turns out the world's champion "archeologist" of Christmas music from the carols Hollywood and Tin Pan Alley put out currently clear back to the almost-lost mysteries of medieval Europe is New Jersey resident Ronald Clancy whose "detective" stories about chasing all our beloved carols back to their roots yield a power and pleasure equal to that of the carols themselves. How does he do it? What was his biggest surprise? Was he ever stumped? Sara is begging Barry not to sing any of the downright strange Christmas carols he picked up in Sweden. Barry has embraced the more realistic goal of limiting his own cultural contribution to the proceedings,as Ron Clancy visits with Sara and Barry this evening.

12/17- IF GUN CONTROL COULD WORK, CONSERVATIVES LIKE ME WOULD SHOVE THE LIBERALS ASIDE AND LEAD THE PARADE!
During World War II, little boys my age who couldn't remember a time before war seriously wondered what newspapers would write about when the war ended. Really, we imagined blank front pages! Grownups today may wonder what there is to argue about now that the election is over. Former New York Congressman JOHN LeBOUTILLIER has a few suggestions; like the fiscal cliff, Benghazi and Hillary Clinton, Sen. Chuck Hagel and his attitude toward Israel, the Sandy Hook massacre and the looming push for "gun control" and, get ready for the strangest real-life story about late Senator Daniel Inouye and the truth behind headlines he never wanted to make! Cong.
LeBoutillier visits Sara and Barry this evening.

12/14-CAN YOU IMAGINE CONNECTICUT VIOLENCE SHAKING UP THE MIDDLE EAST: A TURKISH-ISREALI PERSPECTIVE
The Fox Evening News devoted 100% of its hour to the horror of Sandy Hook, Connecticut. Barry remarked to Sara that this was the first time in memory they ever did "100%" of the hour on the single big-news story. Sara said, "What about 9/11 and the Kennedy Assassination?" Barry thinks that proves his point! Turkish superstar radio-tv-blogger CEYLAN OZBUDAK tells Sara and Barry how massacres like this one tincture the opinion of the United States, even in far-off places with problems of their own.

12/12-ARE THERE ANY ISRAELIS, RABBI, WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?
Teachers have been known to teach in hair salons and massage parlors after hours, abandoned aircraft carriers. apartment basements and even outdoors sitting cross-legged on the lawn. RABBI EPHRAIM SPRECHER teaches in KING DAVID'S TOMB ON MOUNT ZION just outside the old city of Jerusalem. There weren't many cheerful Czechs in 1939 just before the Nazi takeover and there weren't many cheerful Latvians, Lithuanians and Estonians a year later just before the Communist takeover. First question for Rabbi Sprecher as he visits with Sara and Barry this evening is, "Okay, Rabbi; it's Chanukah; but still and all; how can any resident of Israel be so cheerful?"

12/11- THE AMAZING UNKNOWN ABILITIES OF CHURCHILL, THE MAN WHO USED THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE TO DESTROY A DICTATOR!
JAMES HUMES is not the only author who ever wrote a biography of Sir Winston Churchill. But he's written more pf them and better ones and can imitate Churchill well enough for professional stage purposes and he looks like Churchill, and so on. James, visiting Sara and Barry this evening by special hook-up from the LAND of Churchill, the UK, opens his latest book; "Churchill: Prophetic Statesman"; to reveal startling facts about the almost Biblical prophecies that put Churchill squarely on the "Nostradamus" level of those who mastered the art of lifting the veil of the future and peeked within.

12/10-WHAT DO REPUBLICANS SAY TO EACH OTHER WHEN THEY HAPPENED TO LEAVE HOME WITHOUT THEIR BIAS?
They're two Democrats and a Republican, but you couldn't tell it from their attitudes on the air. They're Fox News's new team, "Political Insiders", namely Doug Schoen, Pat Caddell and former New York Congressman John LeBoutillier. They've hit upon the greatest new gimmick in TV political analysis -- leave the bias in the studio lobby and back up your opinions with stomp-down fact! CONG. JOHN LeBOUTILLIER takes us to the area just below the "cliff" where America's going to land if we decide to go over it as he visits with Sara and Barry this evening.

12/7-WHOOPS! NO EVIDENCE OF GLOBAL WARMING FOR 16 YEARS. MAYBE WE SHOULD CALL IT "CLIMATE CHANGE" INSTEAD!
Mark Twain famously quipped that everybody talks about the weather but nobody ever does anything about it. Mark, meet Barack, who's doing a whole lot about the weather in getting set to slap America with a "carbon tax" to fight "Global Warming" that will, according to professor-writer-scientist-inventor ADRIAN VANCE, gives the ruling classes more power than anything since the Magna Carta. There'd be every bit as much real science involved if the president put across a tax to help protect Scottish fishermen from the Loch Ness Monster. Is America weak enough and stupid enough to tolerate the "carbon" scam? Adrian Vance visits with Sara and Barry this evening.

12/4- BRING BACK THE BOARDROOM LAMENT; "SURE, THAT WOULD MAKE MONEY, BUT IT WOULD BE WRONG!"
Bob and Barry fell into an interesting telephone call one day. BOB BUTTS was depressed at the reality but excited at the possibility of educating a new generation in living according to morality and ethics. Barry happened to be educated exactly that way in the Old South where ethics, responsibility, morality, even POSTURE was considered every bit as important as academic course-work. The two friends sparked against each other and decided to take their act to the air when Butts visits Sara and Barry this evening.

12/3-WHAT HAPPENS TO UNION MEMBER CAUGHT PRAISING, ADMIRING AND BEFRIENDING DAVE BEGO?
Two conditions would radically improve America: a) If the Republican masses had a leader, and; b) If a leader like Dave Bego had masses of followers. Bego is the founder and CEO of EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT SERVICES who staggered the all-powerful SEIU union by resisting their thug-attempts to "sign him up" and staggered them even more by winning. It can be done, but too many businessmen -- made of lesser genetic material than Dave Bego -- find it easier to "Pay the two dollars" and sign the (Get this!) "Neutrality Agreement"! Out of Bego's adventures have come two game-changing books; "The Devil at My Doorstep" and "The Devil at Our Doorstep". Be careful as you listen to Dave Bego as he visits with Sara and Barry this evening. Courage is contagious.
