Hello and welcome to the Derrick Country Show for this Thursday, the 17th day of August,

2023. Hold on, baby, hold on as Wilson Phillips sang back when I was in college. One more day

and the week is in the can and Derrick returns you to regularly scheduled programming.

Until then, I am your guest host, Dean Cariannis. They call on this at the New York Sun and a

member of Rush Limbaugh's highly overrated staff on his television show, radio program and

website. About 25 years I spent with Rush and let me tell you, it was as much fun to work there as

it was to listen. I'm also the host of the History author show on I Art Radio over 250 interviews

there. Check us out at historyauthor.com or wherever you listen to good pod and you can also find me

at History Dean on Twitter. I want to get these plugs out of the way quickly because we have a lot

to get to everybody's working for the weekend and that includes Derrick Hunter who will be doing the

weekend effort review as scheduled on Saturday right after the clock strikes midnight. Support his

efforts to talk about the news the way it deserves to be talked about, which means with lots of

uncensored profanity. Do that at patreon.com slash Derrick Hunter podcast or at derrickhunter.locals.com.

Those of you who don't know what the weekend effort review sounds like, here's a clip to give you

the spirit of it. The dollar buys a nickel's worth, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under

the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know

what to do and there's no end to it. We sick watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us

that today we had 15 homicides and 63 violent crimes as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We

know things are bad, worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy

so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house and slowly the world we're living in is getting

smaller and all we say is please at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my

toaster and my TV and my steel built in radios and I won't say anything, just leave us alone.
