Talk Jam Podcast

Season 2, Episode 10 of TALK JAM is devoted to a most interesting discussion involving THE WIZARD OF OZ and whether it could be an allegory for one of the hottest political issues of the 19th century.

Our political talk episode features our most important discussion to date: Defining national sovereignty and globalism, how the two are intertwined and what they mean in the conflict currently raging around the planet. 

Our second topic today deals with the book version of the classic story, THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ, published in 1900 by L. Frank Baum. At the time, there was raging controversy over the topic of bi-metallism--having our fiat (paper) currency backed by TWO metals, gold and silver, instead of just gold. Find out what it means (I've never heard of it) and how President McKinley's decision to back the gold standard alone may have led to his assassination in 1901. Learn also how L. Frank Baum's classic novel could be a metaphor for all the people involved in this crucial monetary argument, and how the classic play INHERIT THE WIND, about the Scopes Monkey Trial in 1925, is connected... 

For more on this topic, including some interesting observations from legendary economist Milton Friedman, see Weeping Angel II's recent video, FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD...

Ivermectin (Covid Wonder Drug?) and the Wall Street Revolution

I don't often say, "We've done a great show," but today's episode IS a great show! I hope you'll tune in for some crucial information!

Season 2, Episode 9 is a real treat, starting with our first segment about Ivermectin, yet another possible weapon in the fight against Covid-19.  Since Covid began, we've covered hydroxychloroquine as a safe and effective drug to CURE Covid, though many in the medical profession has done all they could to smear it, and we talk about why. Then we covered inhaled Budesonide, which doctors in Texas found useful and inexpensive.

Now we're proud to tell you about Ivermectin, a Japanese drug pioneered in the 1970s that Japanese medical journals have called 'a wonder drug on a level with penicillin and aspirin.' Quite an endorsement! Its success rate in treating Covid so far is 100%... and it costs about twelve CENTS/treatment course! Doctors in both Australia and Broward County, FLA have successfully prescribed the drug. Hear what WE have to say about it! Read more here about the woman we mentioned in this episode who was on her death bed and how the NIH reversed its stance on this important drug.

If you are interested in the latest research, this is an excellent video to watch on the topic from a trusted Dr. who knows what he is talking about:

Segment 2 looks at the Reddit Revolution on Wall Street, centered around the Reddit WallStreetBets group, which has taken the financial world by storm.  We discuss Dr. Michael Burry, famous from THE BIG SHORT, the man who first saw the mortgage crisis in 2005 and bet against it; he made a fortune as a result. Now his fund, Scion Capital, had taken a big bet on GameStop (before the Redditers did), and he stands to make a huge return. The Reddit crowd is pitting Main Street against Wall Street to earn huge returns and break the greedy hedge funds simultaneously.

You can learn more about what Michael Burry is doing by following www.gurufocus.com, understanding what's in his Scion portfolio, or following New Money on YouTube for videos about Burry and other money-related topics.

POLITICAL TALK AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING (LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED)

In Episode 8 of Season 2, we begin with a discussion of the words 'neocon' (or 'neoconservative') and Never Trumper, good phrases to understand and use in discussions with your friends!

In our second segment, we discuss the tragedy of human trafficking around the globe--with a terrifying amount of it happening RIGHT HERE IN THE U.S. We discuss a film by John Paul Rice, A CHILD'S VOICE, which features a discussion of pedophilia (Rice was himself a victim who got out of the life) and shows the anguish of this lifestyle. Kelly also gives us some tips on how to recognize someone who could be a victim of trafficking and also gives us some great resources for more information about this horrifying phenomenon, which affects men, women, and children around the world and was only worsened by the Covid pandemic. We hope you'll look into ways you can help fight this terrible scourge!

Episode 7 of Season 2 is a real treat! Today we're interviewing Scott Templeton, a young man with a big future--he's just won a baseball scholarship to Newberry College in South Carolina, and he'll be pitching for them next fall!

We discuss with Scott how wanting to be 'a baseball man' when he was young has led to his devoting years to training, playing and preparing for his next steps--even to spending a summer training with his school football team... just so he could play baseball better! 

We especially loved Scott's appreciation for the men in his life--from his father to his coaches--who poured into him with their knowledge and skills--to make him the incredible young man he is today.

Our second (short) segment is a discussion of a brand-new book that Kelly just finished reading--THE LAST DAYS OF JOHN LENNON by James Patterson, which made a profound effect on her understanding of the man--and the band--whose short lifetime was almost over by the time she knew who they were. I'll definitely be reading this book!

HOW DO YOU CHOOSE A BIBLE?

Episode 6 of Season 2 deals with one of Kelly's favorite subjects: the Bible! As a self-confessed 'Bible nerd', Kelly admits to owning her own Bible collection and to loving various translations she's owned throughout her life, which all seemed to come along at just the right time! In this episode, she reveals the best method to choose the right Bible for you, at the right time of your life, and even suggests making the journey easier by using The Bible Project Plan (link below).

Part 2 of today's episode is our Political Talk discussion, and here Susan defines the terms 'conservative' and 'liberal' (as they would define themselves) and explains what each wants and tries to achieve. Don't miss it!

Today's TALK JAM episode features Susan telling a story (again!)... this time about the battle of the Exodus (a barely-seaworthy boat) to bring concentration-camp survivors and their families to what was then Palestine (later the state of Israel) in 1947, at a time when the British ruled over Palestine and bent over backwards to accommodate the Arabs in the region... This incredible battle, documented in Leon Uris's epic novel EXODUS, finally broke the British policy to keep survivors behind barbed wire in refugee camps and led, inexorably, to the founding of a new (old) nation.

The novel EXODUS also led to a major defamation suit by a man mentioned in the book as having performed medical experiments in the camps on prisoners. This great story of THEIR epic battle, which could have destroyed Uris's career, is chronicled in Leon Uris's QBVII (Queen's Bench VII), where the case was argued. Both novels are incredibly good reading; find them and read them if you can!!

Our Political Talk today discusses the meaning of the word 'coattails' in political terms--what does it mean, how do politicians use it, and is it really helpful? Also a quick history lesson on the only President (Zachary Taylor) who refused to be sworn in on a Sunday, and how a politician whose term had expired MAY have been president for 24 hours; and a brief take on a new Congresswoman from Florida, who will have a special flag outside her office door...

Today's episode is all about inspiring you to engage with your dreams in 2021! We've had an undeniably rough 2020, and we wanted to start 2021 on an upbeat note. Therefore, we're beginning the year with a re-telling of the amazingly inspiring Susan Boyle story--her 2009 audition on BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT, its incredible outcome and her unbelievable success as the singer she always dreamed of being.  We follow this up with quick discussions of other BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT standouts and a short synopsis of a great scene in FACING THE GIANTS. 

Dreams DO come true!

Our Political Talk segment today features a dramatic (!) reading from the United States Constitution; Kelly reads the Twelfth Amendment, ratified in 1804, and we discuss what it means for presidential elections and how it might affect what's happening today in the joint session of Congress to certify the votes from the 2020 election.

Episode 3 of Season 2 of TALK JAM digs into the political arena again, as both segments deal with it.

Our Political Talk segment is a definition of the phrase 'energy independence' and why it's so important for any country, especially ours, to BE energy-independent. 

In our main segment, we discuss the five-minute video Patrick Byrne posted online recently, discussing his role in facilitating a $20-million bribe to Hillary Clinton in the final month of 2015, supposedly as part of a 'sting' operation set up by the FBI. Later, he discovers it's not a sting operation, but more a control mechanism to keep Hillary--whom everyone was certain would win the election--under Obama's thumb for her entire eight-year term.

A VERY Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah and Happy Kwanzaa to ALL of TALK JAM listeners... looking forward to an AMAZING 2021!!

Season 2, Episode 2 is a happy-only conversation about several interesting topics, starting with Christmas! If ever we had a year where we needed Christmas, it's this one! So trees and lights are going up early and everybody's taking joy in the season!

In our political conversation segment, we discuss recall petitions and recall elections, where elected officials can be removed or a new election can be ordered if enough people sign a petition asking for a recall. Right now, California governor Gavin Newsome is looking at the FIFTH petition circulating, asking for his removal. THIS TIME, though, they already have EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND SIGNATURES (out of 1.4 million needed), with 3 months left to collect the final signatures!!

Our final segment is a loving farewell to one of America's greatest flying heroes, Chuck Yeager, the man who broke the sound barrier and ushered in the space age, who died on December 7th (Pearl Harbor Day) at the age of 97. Susan has known of him since seeing THE RIGHT STUFF for the first time in 1983 and admired him always. She tells about introducing her son to the movie and his response to Yeager's heroics in breaking the sound barrier (which he literally risked his life to do) and becoming a WWII flying ace IN ONE DAY (i.e., 5 confirmed kills in one day--pretty spectacular). Is it a coincidence that so few media outlets in the US even BOTHERED to carry the story? 

Thanks to General Yeager for a life well lived...

Welcome to Season 2 of TALK JAM!

We begin today with a whole new season of talk and fun.

Our season opener episode (1) begins with a return to political talk as a service to listeners who may think politics are dull because they don't know enough of the vocabulary. Today the word we define is 'favored nations,' an expression used commonly in business and politics. Find out what it means and why it's important!

The rest of today's episode is a potpourri of topics, from the recent (and still undecided) presidential election and election fraud to discussions about the year 2020 and how strange and unbelievable it's been. From draconian lockdowns to funny L.A. store window displays, 2020 has been a year like no other, and we cover it from several strange angles!
