It's the Talk Show for people who don't even listen to talk shows. This week you will be glued to the radio as Allan and his guests discuss the things you talk about with your friends when you're alone.
This week a major national exclusive on the Allan Handelman Show with the investigative reporter who has actually become the news himself. His book, OBAMA NATION is the hot topic on news channels, talk radio, The Daily Show and even local mainstream media. Jerome Corsi has agreed to spend 2 hours with us this week to take the heat and deal with the controversy. His book debuted at number 1 and continues to be the most talked about book in decades. Also this week, Tommy Chong Part 1, the Conspiracy Guys, and more vintage Rock & Roll from the Handelman library.
In two weeks, AC/DC LIVE an Allan Handelman Labor Day Weekend Special (with limited commercial interruptions).
First up this week, our good friend Tommy Chong Part 1.
But America's favorite stoner comedian, Tommy Chong, is back and funnier than ever as he takes us on a nostalgic trip through his career with partner Richard "Cheech" Marin. Over the course of their decades-long partnership, Cheech and Chong performed to sold-out crowds across the country, made nine hit albums, starred in eight blockbuster movies, and created memorable and iconic characters that still resonate with fans today.
But the good life didn't just appear in a haze of smoke. It all started during the late 1960s in a strip club in the fragile heart of Vancouver's Chinatown, where Tommy was winding down his career as a Motown recording artist and starting an improv comedy troupe, and Cheech was a draft-dodging, pottery-throwing, underground music reviewer. Together they came to define the hippie-era counterculture, and their celebrated movie debut, Up in Smoke, remains one of the highest-grossing Warner Bros. films ever.
In his very own unauthorized autobiography, New York Times bestselling author and pop culture hero Chong reveals his unique relationship with Cheech and recalls the inspiration for their most beloved bits. He introduces famous guest stars like Peter Sellers, John Belushi, Jimi Hendrix, Dan Aykroyd, John Lennon, Diana Ross, and Jack Nicholson, and examines the influences that had the greatest impact on his comedy -- from R&B musicians and Redd Foxx to Lenny Bruce and (of course) marijuana. Finally, with keen insight and utter candor, he explores the rift that has separated the legendary comedy team for more than twenty years.
From pot smoking to politics to the universe at large, Cheech & Chong: The Unauthorized Autobiography is the closest you'll ever get to sitting in a van made entirely of marijuana, trading stories with an unlikely legend, and feeling...well...funny.
Also this week, in a national exclusive, Jerome Corsi in his longest and most provocative interview on his hot new book The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality. Keep an open mind and don't believe all that you hear on this subject. Do the research and make up your own mind.
From the publisher:
He's the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry, Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D., explains why he believes an Obama presidency would leave the United States weakened, diminished, and divided, and why Obama must be defeated and how he can be. His blockbuster expose, has been at the top of the best-seller charts since its release last week and now has been reported atop the New York Times best-seller list for Aug. 17, as well as occupying the No. 1 on Amazon.
He is a senior staff reporter for WorldNetDaily.com and the author of two books on contemporary Iran: Atomic Iran and Showdown with Nuclear Iran. In his 2005 book, Black Gold Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil, which he coauthored with Craig R. Smith, Dr. Corsi predicted oil prices at over $100 a barrel.
Dr. Corsi explains why the extreme leftism of an Obama presidency would leave the United States weakened, diminished, and divided, and why Obama must be defeated and how he can be.
Barack Obama stepped onto the national political stage when the then-Illinois state senator addressed the 2004 Democratic National Convention. Soon after Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate, author Jerome Corsi began researching Obama's personal and political background.
Scrupulously sourced with more than six hundred footnotes, THE OBAMA NATION is the result of that research. By tracing Obama's career and influences from his early years in Hawaii and Indonesia, the beginnings of his political career in Chicago, his voting record in the Illinois legislature, his religious training and his adoption of Christianity through to his recent involvement in Kenyan politics, his political advisors and fund-raising associates, and his meteoric campaign for president, Jerome Corsi shows that an Obama presidency, would, in his words, be "a repeat of the failed extremist politics that have characterized and plagued Democratic Party politics since the late 1960s." In this stunning and comprehensive new book, the reader will learn about:
Obama's extensive connections with Islam and radical politics, from his father's and stepfather's Islamic backgrounds, to his Communist and socialist mentors in Hawaii and Chicago, to his long-term and close associations with former Weather Underground heroes William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn associations much closer than heretofore revealed by the press.
Barack and wife Michelle's twenty-year-long religious affiliation with the black-liberation theology of former Trinity United Church of Christ Reverend Jeremiah Wright, whose sermons have always been steeped in a rage first expressed by Frantz Fanon, Stokely Carmichael, and Malcolm X, a rage that Corsi shows has deep meaning for Obama
Obama's continuing connections with Kenya, the homeland of his father, through his support for the candidacy of Raila Odinga, the radical socialist presidential contender who came to power amid Islamist violence and church burnings
Obama's involvement in the slum-landlord empire of the Chicago political fixer Tony Rezko, who helped to bankroll Obama's initial campaigns and to purchase Barack and Michelle's dream-home property
The background and techniques of the Obama campaign's cult of personality, including the derivation of the words "hope" and "change"
Obama's far-left domestic policy, his controversial votes on abortion, his history of opposition to the Second Amendment, his determination to raise capital-gains taxes, his impractical plan to achieve universal health care, and his radical plan to tax Americans to fund a global-poverty-reduction program
Obama's naïve, antiwar, antinuclear foreign policy, predicated on the reduction of the military, the eradication of nuclear weapons, and an overconfidence in the power of his personality, as if belief in change alone could somehow transform international politics, achieve nuclear-weapons disarmament, and withdrawal from Iraq without adverse consequences for us, for the Iraqis, or for Israel
Virtually everyone loves a good conspiracy theory, and James F. Broderick and Darren W. Miller, authors of Web of Conspiracy, offer perhaps the most balanced and realistic examination of the 'best of the best.' Even better, they direct people to the best websites for detailed research, and just plain fun, to discover whether the truth really is out there.
These respected journalists are here tonight to take the most complex conspiracy theories and give updated insight and analysis.
Broderick and Miller are accepted by X-Files geeks and skeptics alike: unbiased, knowledgeable, and professional. Like us they don't take things at face value, they urge others to question everything, but not to fall for anything.
"There is enough evidence out there that much of what we've been told by the government and other mainstream organizations is questionable," says Broderick. "The issue becomes, does 'questionable' mean conspiracy?
Broderick and Miller can discuss timely conspiracy topics such as:
Was the death of Princess Di an accident? You will be surprised to learn what they think.
The evergreen 'Moon Landing hoax' theory. Could the landing really have been faked?
Who really was the author of the works accredited to Shakespeare?
The 'best' or most plausible 9/11 government-involvement theories.
The best online places to get definitive answers about the JFK conspiracy.
