[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast begin Show intro]

Welcome to ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast aka CTP in association with TheLibertyBeacon.com and I am your host Joseph M Lenard and that's L E N A R D   CTP is your no muss no fuss just me you And occasional guest type podcast as Graham Norton would say let's get on with the show 

[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast - Segment 1] 


JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):   Hello everybody, first I gotta say if you're watching behind the scene, Bitchute, Brighteon, Rumble, YouTube, you could see me feeling my left cheek, you might be able to see it a little puffy, I'm still a little numbed up from having a tooth pulled about two and a half hours ago they had to shoot me with extra juice so I'm still numbed. So if I sound funny and by funny I don't make my usual ha ha lint pun funny, I mean if I sound different or if I'm sloring or whatever that's why, so bear with me here but I certainly didn't want to put off this record session. Joining me us today is Eddie 2D's in the Y now that I duh, you duh, man you can see me joking on the behind scenes video, you duh because you know I can't pass a lint pun, you duh, man and I guess he likes extra consonants, oh now you can hear my numbness there, extra consonants in his name because it's two ends on the end of man, a Christian music singer-songwriter, welcome to the show Eddie. Nice job, great to be here, great to be here. So before we get into your music, your latest album and current single, give us the low down on the you know where you were born, raised, all that good stuff, how many years did you do in prison, just kidding, just kidding, all that good stuff.
EDDY "YOU DA" MANN:  Well, I am a Philly boy through and through, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  Oh, oh, we're done now.
EDDY "YOU DA" MANN:  Just kidding, just kidding, please go on. There were some days back there with the pistons and the Sixers where they went out pretty well with each other, so yeah I got that, I get that, but no, I'm a Philly boy and I was brought up by parents that were, if you didn't know any better and if you're old enough I grew up in like a sitcom family. I was so blessed to be brought up by parents that seemed to really have their act together, unlike a lot of my friends that suffered through some different situations, but so I was brought up in, I was brought up in a Christian home, my parents were churchgoers, so I had some seeds planted early on and I was a, as a painfully shy kid, I, athletics, I kind of got by with athletics, I played all kinds of sports, but I was really painfully shy kid until I picked up a guitar and when I picked up a guitar, I just, for whatever reason found my voice, I was maybe in my first year of high school when I picked it up the first time and for some reason I had the confidence with that thing around my neck to say what was on my mind, to be able to speak my piece, to have a voice and I couldn't play a damn thing at the good, but that didn't matter, I had a microphone in my face that I had, it took time for everything to kind of catch up and bounce out, but in doing so, it kind of, it got me started, got me out from being so painfully, I mean painfully shy, teacher asked me to read in grammar school, I would almost cry over it, it was just, and I don't know where that came from, because my parents brought me home, I was brought up in such a stable home, I had no reason to, to fear anything in my life, so, but be what it, be what it was, it took me, I think my second year of college, when I decided to take this semester, I just couldn't take the summer off and get the music out of my system, and I'm in a lifetime later, it's kind of inbred there, it's not going anywhere, which shouldn't be, it shouldn't be too surprising, my father was a jazz pianist, a bebop pianist, so he being at the pressure in age kid, wanted to, wanted to be able to make sure that there was always good money coming into the house and he ended up working for General Electric for 40 some years, but I wasn't growing up in that, I could read about the depression, he could tell me stories about the depression, but it wasn't part of the fiber who I was, and never really could embrace that as full as him, and so for me, that music bug just kind of, kind of took over, and I spent maybe a good decade, good 10 years or so, being a secular musician, moving from club to club, concert to concert with different bands, and supporting myself, I always played in music that people wanted to hear, so I wasn't out of work, unlike again, a lot of musician friends I know of, but I met, I'm trying to keep my life line in order, I met, I met my wife a second time, I met her in high school, she didn't know I existed, she came out to hear a friend of hers one night, and I was playing with him, and was all over, I mean I took care of her for a year, I really raked her over the coals, I made her pay for those high school years, but it was during that time I felt called back to the church, right before I met her, I had been this musician for a good 15 years, and I had this, I had this thought one day that nobody really knew me other than any man, the producer, writer, singer, songwriter, that was it, guitarist, they really didn't know me, I didn't have any really deep relationships, being in a band, musicians are coming and going, and you don't have very few long lasting deep friendships, and that was kind of the road to where I am now, there were some drastic changes that I met my wife, we got married, she had some matching luggage, she had a five year old daughter, and I didn't, I went, I wanted to be around my kids, so I took some time off, actually got into education for a period of time, till my kids started to get independent, didn't need me anymore, well I shouldn't say didn't need me, they didn't want me around as much anymore, as we're like it, somewhere along the line, I did something to them, but by that point I was going to go back to writing and playing again, and I dabbed a little bit with some folk Americana type stuff, and then I had this, I was finishing up a teaching contract, I was in a Roman Catholic school, and not being a Roman Catholic, they asked me please don't come to Mass, which you know I thought I got a free period basically, and in the faculty room, I wrote this song swept up in joy 15 minutes maybe, and I had this this giant epiphany, why wasn't I doing this my whole life, I should have been doing this my whole life, and my life has changed, it's a 180 change what happened financially, and faith wise, it just ballooned, and it's kind of led me to where I am now to, to, I had left my church about, oh maybe seven, eight years ago now, I was a worship leader there for 15, 20 years, and I left, it was time, and I thought that maybe I was going to cool down a little bit with this, but that hasn't been the case, I may be busier now than I've been in years, good opportunities, opportunities, you know God keeps producing opportunities, and I've never, I've never shied away from opportunities, I've got where I got this position and did it totally unprepared as a, as a spiritual leader, I could lead a band in my sleep, but I wasn't a spiritual leader when I was first called in this church, now granted it was at a time when they, they weren't quite sure how to define what a worship would hear it was, we were kind of kind of defined it as we went along, and, and because of that, it was easier for me to fumble my way through some things, and I think I've at least, at least a dozen times, apologize to ask for forgiveness to all those early musicians that I really beat up, I was just hiring a fire, and you know you didn't know the parts, I wasn't used to volunteers, I was the only one getting paid, and I came to grips with the idea that I was successful if that band sounded like they were all getting paid on Sunday morning, so, kind of leads me to where I am today, at 20 hours later, that church by the way encouraged me to write from the first day, the pastor of that church encouraged me to write in the language of the church and in his language to help support the ministry and the message that was being put forth, and it, it's, it's taken a life of its own as far as being a, a CCLI licensed songwriter and having songs used on various churches on Sunday morning across the world, which is a really
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  humbling experience. Yeah, that's great. A couple things, you mentioned Phil Philadelphia, I mean Philadelphia, just a joke, just, just a loving jab, but Philadelphia, the city of brotherly law, of course, everybody knows it as that, and this being a Christian. So, the sad part is, they know that it's called that, they don't know the biblical origin, the agape, aphilia, love from the Bible, aphilia became Philadelphia. Right, now the residents here are
EDDY "YOU DA" MANN:  not aware of that by their actions, I mean it's pretty, pretty widespread, and tell you, I tell you, the truth, Phil Philadelphia is not so bad anymore. We can, we just moved up out of the city this past year. I have, I'm fortunate again, blessed again to have a home in, in Florida, in Melbourne Beach, a little, uh, barrier island on the east coast, and I probably, I work out of that, that's my home base, maybe seven months out of the year, and then the other five months up here in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, but, uh, yeah, yeah, I, you know, a lot of, uh, well, I think I guess biblical history in general is lost on a lot of people. Yes, yes, and the other thing
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  with you being a musician, and you said you were an athlete, I've mentioned before, and talk about one of my books, I'm not a big spring stink, as I call him, fan, but glory days is a brilliant song about everybody reckoning back to their youth, have some sort of glory day story in their head so that resonates so well, maybe you could talk spring stink into letting you to cover glory
EDDY "YOU DA" MANN:  days, could have got that athletic tie. Let me tell you something, I just found something out this past week, uh, through the Christian licensing, CCLI, which monitors all Christian music in general, and, um, I had, I was out of, uh, an event, not maybe 10 days ago, and off the cuff, I, the message was being delivered, I came in afterwards, I played a little music under the prayer, and for whatever reason, I started to sing the Lord's Prayer, and, um, I just, at the end of it, my bandmates who were with me on this, um, and the speaker who was there, and a number of people said, wow, you have a recording of that, is that one of your albums, and I said, no, I said it just kind of happened, I said, I don't, you know, I said, I mean, I'm going to, before I go, I'm going to make sure that I have some kind of copy of this, because I'm going to go back to the studio and kind of, kind of figure out, um, is this, is this, is this mine, is this spirit lead, is this something that I should be, you know, producing so God can use it, I license it, I took me 72 hours or so to get something that I thought was at least workable, made a very rough version of it, and then charted it out, and made sure the licensing was taken care of, and I got a call 24 hours later and said, it appears that you might have used the Lord's Prayer from a version other than the King James, and if that's the case, you have to have clearance. I said, excuse me? I need clearance to sing the Lord's Prayer. Now, now the woman was real nice, we went back and forth with some emails and things, and I explained to her exactly what happened. I said, I don't know where these words came from, they're not exactly, I said, if I go look up the King James version, maybe 90% of it is, is there, but there's nothing really outside of the box that we, I mean, you, you recognize it as the Lord's Prayer. So I said, I, you know, you tell me, I said, before I take this in the studio, if I need to change some words, you know, you know, debtor to whatever, you let me know, and I'll, but I was unaware, I was totally unaware that the King James version was the only version of the Lord's Prayer that is copyright free. So really, that's it, that's very, very interesting, because I was going to
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  bring up, I remember I've got the 45 RPM vinyl of it still in my, by my stereo, in the 70s, the Lord's Prayer quote unquote, there was like sisters who sang it. And I have that out. So that's interesting. And you meant, that's interesting too, that you bring up King James version, because part of the point of this show is to not be a Catholic Methodist Presbyterian Baptist, whatever, whatever brand flavor Christian show, but all those things in Christianity under Christ we can agree with and try to put apart those differences of the humans that screwed it up, that created all these different sects. Jesus didn't command these differences. Jesus never contradicted himself. We contradict ourselves and screw things up. So that's kind of interesting. Now you said you had 20 albums before we get to the current one, you said 20 albums, that's great.
EDDY "YOU DA" MANN:  Yeah, yeah. First of all, our man brother, I mean we could preach on the same, on the same platform any night. One of the things that has helped me through the years is that I've always been about Jesus, nothing more. And so I could walk into any particular church, and I could sing and talk about Jesus. One of the reasons I left the church that I was at for so long was because they had this idea, they wanted to be inclusive. And then they decided that if you didn't agree with their ideal of inclusivity, they would exclude you. Yeah, so they became exclusive in their
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  inclusivity. Oh, he's had a so spot on. There's a lot of these that are the church of woke, not
EDDY "YOU DA" MANN:  the church of Christ anymore. Yeah, it's sad. It really is. I don't I don't I don't pertain to to follow any of it. A lot of times I it's uncomfortable to even use the term Christian, because there's so many bad connotations from specific churches that have used that moniker so to speak and just kind of twisted it and turned it. And I'm a follower of Jesus. I can't be any more clear to people than that. You can put me in any box you want. I'm not going to put myself in any box. I'm just going to follow Jesus because that's all he asked us to do in the Bible. Follow me. That's simple enough. I'm going to do that. I'm going to follow him and I'm going to work each day to be a better man than I was yesterday, knowing that I'm a broken piece of work from the start with. But I'm still I'm still he deserves. He is worthy of me getting up each day
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  and wanting to be perfect for him. And that's kind of yeah, amen. I'm yeah, humans. We are all frail and flawed. No such thing as perfect on this planet, especially since Christ, the only perfect being to be on the planet left. And yeah, we we can try to do our best fall shorter time as the forgiveness and whatnot. But your newest album, my understand is called Turn Up the Divine, which just the way my weird work brain works. Because I do have music background too. My dad had 10 Leonard Jr. and the polka kings. They have three albums. So I wrote and recorded music in the 70s and 80s. But back then, if you didn't get a record deal, it didn't amount to anything. Today, you could put anything and everything online, even if nothing else. So but I, you know, stayed writing and more so books these days and articles and and now of course, this podcast, where was I go? Oh, the way my brain turn up the divine. I see turn up and I immediately get in my head. You may know this year old enough, the old autograph song, turn up the radio. You know that tune? No, I don't. Yeah, I know of 80s tune by a group called autograph. Yeah, turn up the radio. You've got turn up the divide. So tell us about what inspired that title. Pretty obvious, I would think. But that title and you know, what came on the album because of it.
EDDY "YOU DA" MANN:  I had released last year. I don't I've got maybe maybe four or five albums that I would consider worship albums. Every every maybe every third or fourth album as I'm moving along, I feel called to come back and do something that would just worship God. In between, I have these these albums full of songs that are basically their conversation starters, but they're really they're all biblically sound and inspired. But there's songs about how I get through the day, how I maneuver, how I navigate my way through a world that's so broken. And so when I go out, I have the opportunity in even in secular rooms, if I'm booked in one, to do these songs. And often people will say, well, where did that come from? And they're basically opening the Bible for me, which is which is an awesome way to reach people. And some people are turned off as soon as they see a Bible or hear it. This this this opens up the possibility for me to to use these songs that way. So a year ago, I released an album called Chapel Songs, and it was a it was a selection of of songs that I wrote specifically for the small church. Most churches are not your big supermarket type churches. You know, they're small. They've got 10 or 15 people. They may be one or two people in singing praises. And I wanted to write an album that would have music that would that they would be able to embrace easily, both musically and and text wise. And while I was recording that, as I was still writing and the songs that came up afterwards, I didn't have a concept. But the songs there was a maybe 18, 20 plus songs, and I kind of whittled them down to the songs that are on turn up the divine. And I didn't it's it's funny the title itself just kind of came
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  came out of my mouth in a conversation. And I love that right lower the noise, the garbage
EDDY "YOU DA" MANN:  turn up the divine. Yeah, I love that concept. I didn't I didn't think of it as a as a as the album title at first. But as I was putting the Sonics together, the ones that were that I felt God wanted on this project. I I kept thinking and you know, I kept I kept referring back to what I see each day in this world. And it's a world that desperately desperately desperately needs the divine at a much much louder level than it is, whether that's in the way we react and the opportunities we have to converse with other people and sharing, you know, books and music and art that reinforce the kingdom that that I one of my one of the questions that kind of frazzles me a little people want to know what genre of music you and I said, keep talking. I'm not, you know, I said, let me let me back up in second and put it in terms of Jesus. I figured Jesus has a record collection. And this collection are songs that basically support the kingdom. They speak of the kingdom. They support the kingdom. And then there's a song, this is like, he said, he don't have this. It's not if it doesn't matter with which jazz, rock, country, blues, you're either you're either there with him and you are talking. I said, if I write a song that speaks about 30 years of marriage and how much I still love my wife, he'll think God's going to be happy with that. That Jesus wouldn't be happy with that. I said, you know, it's not, you know, I said, this is the only, it's the only genre. If you want to call that, that's basically decided by its lyrics, not by the actual music stylings. If you're a Christian, if you're a Christian artist, you have a Christian message. And that's basically what I want to be. That's the songs on, on turn up the divider are songs that speak specifically to situations that I've run across in the past year. There's one or two songs. There's a song on there called the Red Thread that goes back a few extra years. But that came out of a conversation with somebody again. It was a diversity conversation. And I kept trying to impress upon this guy that, you know, God created all this diversity for us. I said, you know, when I taught, I used to tell kids, if you have a bad voice, as a music teacher, I said, if you have a bad voice, sing as loud as you can, because the people around you with good voices will sing louder. I said, this is the way it works. But I said, God's infinite wisdom, when you take a room full of people, the worst and the best voices, when you mesh them all together, it's unbelievably beautiful. Well, tell me he didn't know what he was doing. Right. And so for kids, for kids, I would tell them, you don't get to paint the most beautiful rainbow in the world. And think of them as being all different types of voices. When you start pulling out certain colors, every name is not as beautiful anymore. And that's us. That's us. You know, I can't even see, I can't even sing the word rainbow anymore without being
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  afraid of how people are going to take it. Yeah, I'll I hear you. Yeah. And I refuse to refuse to not sing it. Yeah, the seven color God's rainbow versus the political leftist tearing down our nation six color. Yeah. And diversity is a wonderful natural thing. Yeah. It becomes an issue. And perverted the way man is trying to use it as a weapon. That's where the problem is. Yeah. Now, you're I'm curious if your home in Florida inspired the humble cottage by the sea, which is
EDDY "YOU DA" MANN:  your current single. It's certainly it certainly helped inspire it musically. I liked I liked the story. I love I love Peter to start with. I kind of, you know, I kind of relate to that and relate to him a little bit. And I don't know where I was imagining one day reading reading the story about his about his mother being ill, or his wife. And I just amat what all I could imagine was, was Jesus doing what we see, see and or read a lot in the Old Testament, going to this person. And I was taken with the idea that these guys were fishermen. So they had to have meager dwellings and meager, you know, uh, accommodations. And I thought, well, how cool is that time and time again? We that that's where we see Jesus. You know, we don't see him, you know, going to the mansions and going to the those the wealthy people. And I thought what there's a that's the message. That's the message here. The messages that he's there. Yeah. He's in the room with each your room. I can handle his new studio. He's in my studio right now. He's in anybody listening. He's with him right now, which is such an awesome thing to start with. But you don't need to be anywhere but where he wants you to be. For him to be involved in your life. And that was kind of the message there, the underlying message. It's nice to use this this this story. And I didn't have music for it. It took a while to get the the musical idea for it. And yeah, being in in Florida, the the studio and Florida is where I recorded the song. And yeah, there's a there's a
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  lot of island feel to it. Oh, you didn't read both Jimmy Buffett, did you? Actually, I'm not a Jimmy
EDDY "YOU DA" MANN:  Buffett fan. I'm I'm the one. I'm the one. I don't I don't this like I don't dislike Jimmy Buffett. But you know, he doesn't he doesn't he doesn't he doesn't do it for me the way other people do. Yet, yet I really do have a fondness for reggae island scott type music that reappears from time to time in my writing. As I said earlier, my father being musician, I was blown up in a house that we listened to all different types of music. There wasn't a stereotypical, well, this is the only kind of music where this is the we're just listening to jazz because I like no, no, I was opened up to all these different styles. And I've maintained that as an adult, where I listened to a lot of different a lot of different styles. So when I'm writing the song, and I I wanted to go, I want to allow it to go where it needs to go, where it wants to go. I mean, usually from a from a lyric standpoint, often I'm just trying to allow the spirit, I just want to be a vessel for the spirit to work. I mean, my my poor wife, she's she's heard all the ones that I wrote. I try to leave those, I try to leave those at home and use the ones that feel like, and I'll get it right all the time. I mean, I've taken I've had more than one song I brought in the church, and we sang it and it just laid there. And then there's some that even the first time you do it, there's just something happens in the room. There's the presence, the spirit's presence is unbelievable. So I mean, lyrically, that's that's always in that kind of takes care of the lyrical point of it, or if I'm writing something right from scripture or the Psalms, I want to pay homage, but I want to honor it. I don't want to, you know, mess up the thought behind. Yeah, I hear you,
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  I think I don't want to put words in your mouth. But like me, I say about my books, they are not of or from me. They are through me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a that's a tough, really tough place to be.
EDDY "YOU DA" MANN:  And being on the platform leading worship is just, it's just it's such a hard place to be to be humble, to not let ego, to not let the flesh have its moment. I do a I do a Thursday night live stream, and this past Thursday, I was I went back to a now my release in I think 2012. And I all for whatever reason, I just used all the music. We did I did six or seven songs from that album that night. During the midst of one of the songs, I found myself my mind wander from God. And I mean, I caught me and startled me and I kind of fumbled a little bit. And most people wouldn't hear it. I've been doing this long enough now that, you know, I know how to I know how to roll through those human moments. But I was so conflicted afterwards that I came clean and I said, listen, I need to I need to tell you what just happened. And I came clean to my audience about what I had went through and how my mind moved and and how it affected me and how yeah, I get to do this on Thursday night. God uses me in this way. And I'm so blessed by it. But it's not because I'm any better than
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  anybody else. Yeah. Why I hear you as a hubris. I've had many arguments on social media the last few days. I wrote a couple articles for before snooze.com, which was primarily started as a Christian site, but it's got a million different categories. And you know, there's atheists and all kinds of conspiracy. And, you know, everything is there now. But I mainly see it and use it as a Christian outlet still. And I wrote about, you know, is the end nigh. Every decade there's people running around with the science. The end is nigh. I mean, isn't really this time. And I did is the book of Revelation actually starting to unfold. And a lot of people going back to hubris now pride. Now, you have pride in your children when they do something. You write a good song. It's okay to be proud of that. That is different than quote hubris. That's kind of really the word. That's the sin. That's the problem. And it's like the rapture. Now, I am so concerned about a lot of fellow Christians running around. Whatever happens happens. I don't care the raptures around the corner. I'm out of here. See you suckers. Excuse me. Excuse me. It's God's time. Not yours. It's God's terms. Not yours. I don't know if I will be raptured. If there even is going to be a rapture, I don't think that is something for us to get hung up about. Don't get hung up about the caught up as I like to say, jokingly, right? If and when it happens, it's on God's time. And God's terms. There's a whole lot of other things on earth happening in the here and now. We need to be paying attention to, right? You have to sew to reap. That means action. Not just sit back and say, eh, whatever. No, we must act in the here and now or evil indeed prevails, right? We know what's coming, but that doesn't mean we should help hasten it. Then we are complicit in the evil. If we don't try to help prevent it, put that time off, in my opinion. We are
EDDY "YOU DA" MANN:  complicit in the evil. What are your thoughts on that? I don't spend, I have to be honest, I don't spend any time during the course of my day thinking or worrying about it. I do. Good. I do. I do think and I'm not even going to use the word worry, but I do work at being aware of the opportunities in my day to do God's work. I feel like if that's all I can do, I'm here for a purpose. When my work is done here, that's when God's going to take me home. So if that's what I believe in, then I got to get up each day and I need to, I just need to follow that spirit. I write every day. Some of the songs don't see the light of day out of the studio. Some are just for me, just to flush through my system. Sometimes the song I'm writing today, God may use it a year from now, four years from now, to touch one person. That's gold. I've done my job. I feel like if I get up each day and I work at doing that, then I'm on, I'm, I'm, what's the word I want to use here? I'm where I need to be in my journey. I'm where I need to be in his plan for me and my, and his purpose for me. Now, again, I, I sail that knowing again that I, that, that I'm broken. I wrote a song maybe four years ago, some of my, on an album called worship. It's called Once Again, Lord. And it basically is about how, you know, I go to God broken. And then when my next time of prayer during the day, from a humble position for what he's done for me. And then later, maybe in the afternoon, I go back to prayer and I'm so grateful, so grateful. And when by the time evening comes, I go back to him and I go, I'm broken again. It's the endless circle of being human, of being in the flesh. So, but knowing that, that, that doesn't make it any, any less important for me to do what I feels I need to do. Now, all day long, if I'm following that purpose on I am writing, then I am in conversations with people with the, the checkout line at the supermarket, or at any place else, I have an opportunity to be the hands, the voice, you know, of Jesus. And sometimes more often than not, they're the most powerful moments because people, when they find out you're a Christian, they see, well, maybe that's why he acted the way he did. Maybe that's why he said what he did. There seemed to be something different about him. I like second Thessalonians, it says if we're, if we're a follower, it should look that we should look different. It doesn't say we might look different, or maybe no, we should look different
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  than what's all around us in the world. If we're a real Christian, not a fake Christian. Yeah, but I could talk to you all day, but I like to keep my shows not much over 30 minutes. If I do go over 30 minutes, you know, today's water or attention span, I call it, you know, everybody just wants to give me the headline, which could be misleading, or give me the drive by pot shot soundbite, which again, could then be taken out of context. A whole lot of gray areas, you need to talk details. But at any rate, and wow, that's the first time I said that during the show, which is an ongoing running, I started saying at any rate a few months ago. So now I say, say it to laugh at myself by saying it over and over every show. So indeed, at any rate, the usual ending podcast question, where do people find your recordings? And if they want to reach out to you, do you have a website or whatnot? How do people contact you? The website is eddyman.com.
EDDY "YOU DA" MANN:  Remember those double consonants? Eddy, and that's got anything and everything. That's my humble place to start. You can purchase music, you can stream music there. It's what's important is hearing the message, not lining my pockets. God's taking care of me. Facebook, Instagram, every platform, Spotify, Apple, although, a little sidebar, Spotify took down to my albums. I don't know why. Yeah, between 2019 and 2016, there's a gap three years. I did not take three years off. There are two albums that have disappeared there. And one was the worship album I was just talking about with that song once again. So I feel like there's some evil tug of work on there. But on Facebook, it's eddyman.musician. On Instagram and X, I guess we call it now, it's eddy underscore man. YouTube is just eddyman. I've got a pretty large footprint at this point on the internet. And I encourage people, whether it's through email or messages or texts to be in conversation with me. Well, I love to share with people. If I touch a nerve and it's just killing you and it's making you angry or you just understand it, please, let's be in conversation. I'm not one of those people that if I don't agree with you, I don't want to talk with you. I think it's more important that we talk when we don't agree. I want my faith challenged. I want my life challenged because
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  I don't even make it stronger. So here we are. All right. Thank you, Eddy, you don't man for joining the constitutional politics show today. Thank you. Thanks for having me, Jell. Look forward to it. Appreciate it. This is a special tack on segment for a couple of shows. To let you know about from August, September, October, potentially out into November shows. If you're looking behind the scenes, you can see I've got my I remember never forget 9-11 shirt on and the 9-11 background since we're going to be talking about things that will drop over September, October, this being August when I'm recording and Hadassa Troi will be on and she talks about how painful experiences become the first place of blessings. That's her book. How does Brooks not Brooks Garth Garth Brooks. I'm getting dyslexic with his name. How does Garth Brooks unanswered prayers song relate? Hope you'll tune in to find out as well as Star Track 5, the movie. How does that relate? I hope these little teases mean you'll tune in when it drops or depending on where this additional segment gets tacked down may have already dropped in August, so please check it out. Other another, I should say, August drop will be David Shine holding up the note there. David Shine is the bestselling author of Bad Deal for America and the Decline of America, 100 Years of Leadership Failures. I'll be tying into the politics part of the Crystal Tushloos Politics podcast show and in September or going forward loosely planned for September, October, timeframe, M.H. Ulrich comes on and we talk also not another movie of reference in there, but I hope you'll check in to find out how the discussion with her brings up CS Lewis, but Star Track again. Like two episodes in a row or an episode apart, this time Star Track the Original Series, an episode and episode called Parallel. Spoiler alert, if you haven't seen the old series, they go to a planet and they worship the sun. They assume it's as you end the sun above, but as you get to the end you find out it is Christ having visited another planet, the Son of God on another planet, which is really kind of blows my mind knowing that Gene Roddenberry was an atheist, that such an episode would have even been remotely allowed and considered. But I want to give them credit, there were a wide variety of topics covered by that show, so please tune in to the M.H. Ulrich episode to find out how that Star Track episode factors in. If you recall, if you've been with me a long time, last year 9-11 I had on my friend from Wham Radio, your American Heritage show, Ed Bandarica. I plan for now that the episode again will drop a new one, not a repeat, a new one on 9-11 with Ed Bandarica, but it is not what we'll touch on that sombre of Numbernst Day, it is not a show dedicated to that, but I just thought that was a logical day time frame to have him back on since he was on last night, Leslie Hall, now St. Leslie Nielsen, by Leslie we're talking email here, Leslie Hall and a great conversation with him and we talk M.O.K. in there and we talk about addiction, so that's an important show, I hope you'll tune in. We need a youth perspective, so I've got a couple coming up, Christopher Armstrong Stevenson, a young man, a high schooler, will be on so that we can talk a youth perspective, a zoomer to boomer, I use that more term advisedly, you'll see why a little later, Eddie Yuda man, man with two ends though, but you know me, I can't pass the lane pun so I call him Eddie Yuda man, well beyond, he's a Christian music singer-songwriter, I'm gonna have a few of them on so I hope you'll tune in for that, William R. Douglas, I'm holding up to the camera, my note from that, the sum of all our anger Civil War 2.0, book cover, you could see if you're looking behind the scenes, obviously with all that's going on and my friend Mike Cole Gardner, aka Savage, who wrote the book America's Political Battle, a current Civil War in terms of a cold Civil War, we're in a battle, we're in a Civil War, it's just not shooting at each other yet, whereas William, his book goes into the what if it turns hot over the next few years, his, like my chair strikes book, is historical fiction, there is some fiction that lends credence to the fact that these issues boil over, mainly to a hot Civil War, another singer-songwriter Richard Lynch will be on, we will be mentioning a very gib, Conway Twitty, tune in to find how they factor into that episode, Christine Spazano, hey we're both Italiano, so we joke Italian desserts, but seriously you've heard me talk about conservatives being censored on school campuses and she indeed created a group, studentvoicessilence.com, so we will talk further about that, another singer-songwriter Robert Ross will be on, if you don't have to like country, you shouldn't have to like country to tune in, but if you are a country fan, obviously you really want to tune in to find out how and why Freddie Fender, David Allen Cole, get mentioned in the episode as well as I lost my place, looking look at Conway Twitty again, George Jones and Vern Gosden, he brought that name up, that was a name I hadn't heard in a long time, so please tune in for that, Robert Boog, ever since I was in high school, we heard the rumor and conspiracy theory that William Shakespeare, getting right his stuff, I venture into that discussion with Robert Boog, James Gebhardt is on, and who is babysitting whom, we've talked about honor your mother and father, right, who is the parent, the left wants your children to be warns of the state, this is why they hate and want to destroy Christianity, that honor your mother and father part is in the way of their turning all children of the nation into warns of the fascistic state, remember I've talked before, Hitler-y and the warping of the takes of village, which is biblical, not hitleries, it takes the fascistic state war version of it, Michelle Jewsbury, if you remember I had Trent Brock on in the past, he has a chapter in a book about survivors, hardships in life, Michelle Jewsbury has got a volume one out, volume two, three, four, will be coming, collections of survivors of hardships, so people know they are not alone, and indeed there may be, hopefully is, they're not alone, there is help, there can be light at the end of the tunnel or around the corner, I mentioned Zoomers to Boomers, if you see behind the scene there, you see a little logo there, Zoomers to Boomer, Roger Landry of the Liberty Beacon Project, again right for the LibertyBeacon.com, I am on TLV Talk, that's all part of the TLB Project, he's founder of that, he has a show with a young lady, not gonna turn 18 soon, but not yet, so a young lady, Hanks, Zoomers to Boomers, they have a show together, so again we get that youth perspective here that's much needed, and lastly I'm gonna mention Lou Ann Hunt, another singer-songwriter, if you're at all a Patsy Klein fan, or your parents or your grandparents were a Patsy Klein fan, you want to turn into the edge to turn, I cannot talk, you want to tune into that show to see how Patsy Klein has factored into Lou Ann Hunt's life, and Patsy Klein kind of lives on now through Lou Ann Hunt, thank you all, just wanted to give you a brief sneak peek at coming midweek, Wednesday guest appearance drops, take care God bless.

Music, TV, & Politics…

A few weeks back I had a “Lets go to the Lobby for Snacks and Politics” piece and its follow-up “Movies, Snacks, Politics, part 2” so makes sense – lets talk briefly about Music and TV…

But first a brief reprise about Movies – I hope you all caught “They Live” 35th Anniversary this year (while showing in many Theaters September 2023) and if not at Theaters please rent or stream it after you read this. Reminder: “They Live” an early John Carpenter (Writer/Director) piece where he dared to go down ChristiTutionalist Politics line before I coined the term and “Aliens” (the E.T. variety) as stand-in for the #DeepState always moving and manipulating behind scenes. Human-nature of those willing to go-along-to-get-along to Cash in for themselves. The 15-minute (minor exaggeration) I hinted at in the Movies pieces is great metaphorical outline for the verbal back-and-forth we often have with DUMBocrats to get them to see Reality!


VIDEO (3m 08s): Jason Aldean - Try That In A Small Town (Official Music Video):

Music:


#IStandWithJasonAldean (and, yes, too Oliver Anthony)
CMT (Country Music Television) crumbles to Cancel Culture, pulls “Try that in a Small Town” Video. And what my book (Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You) about, not just Foreign Terrorists but USA Leftist Terrorism within & destruction of Western-Culture (as whole, not just US). #JasonAldean #BoycottCMT

I tack this on here, as Patriots in good Independent Studios or Patriotic Producers/Directors need to assure this Song gets on the Soundtrack of their PRO-AMERICA Movies as many times/places as possible!! 

Lastly, I know this is OLD NEWS to a degree and you are well aware and likely heard this story for several weeks already via FOXNEWS, NEWSMAX, OAN, and other outlets (including the ridiculous attempts by Left #ENEMEdia to make this somehow a Racist song calling for violence when the Writers (no, not Jason) and he (Jason) indeed all on the same page as to why they wrote it and why he wanted to Record it. AN ANTI-CRIME and ANTI-VIOLENCE piece, but if/when push comes to shove that we do have a Right to Defend ourselves from it. To protect and prevent our Communities being Arsoned to the ground by ANTIFA and #BlackLyingMarxist Hitlerian Brown-Shirt thugs.

Only the Left and their constant Race-baiting have the gall to say scenes (that show people of ALL RACES) is somehow Racist as an indictment of Black people? Who are the Racists? They are, if they say crime automatically equals Black people! Meanwhile scuttling #BidenCrimeFamily investigations and still creating major reach (stretching beyond all credulity of those Laws intent) on Statutes to try to charge POTUS45/Trump! Spare us the “What about the Lynching that took place at that Courthouse a hundred years ago” manure that no-one knew about until the Leftists #ENEMEdia desperate for a Talking-Point managed to dig up that History. I guess the Hannah Montana and the Christmas Movie filmed there are now also Racist (just like they tried to deem Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” as somehow Racist). When are Black Americans going to wake up to this pathetic and desperate Race-baiting?!?! Whom, in Poll after Poll show they want more police protection from the runaway and rampant Crime happening due to FASCICRATS weak-on-Crime and other failing policies!!!

Thank you to all that emailed or called CMT or Cable Companies that carry CMT and let them know they would like CMT pulled from their line-up as money will be the only thing they understand. As discussed in the BIDENomics pieces they chase the Woke ESG pennies, we must make then suffer huge dollar loses until they learn to stop pandering to the Cancel Culture manure.

A friend of mine posted a Breitbart article titled “Woke Maren Morris Announces She’s Leaving Country Music: ‘Misogynistic & Racist & Homophobic & Transphobic’” (no, not gonna link it) that I would talk about but all our “kind” reactions (here are those) were “WHO?”  And some “less than polite” responses too (including a few snide ones from yours truly). LOL




VIDEO (2m 24s): Adam-12 and Emergency! Crossovers:
https://youtu.be/HIJHcgS7R7g     
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HIJHcgS7R7g" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>



Television:

That’s now Movies, Music, but what about TV? May as well take a pot-shot at that too?!?!  I had for decades hoped we’d get a reboot of “The Streets of San Francisco;” like Hawaii Five-O was, and Magnum P.I. was; and while I liked those originals (I did not tune-in for those reboots) but that was long before Newsome, Piglosi, others, have completely destroyed it over these last couple of decades. So, maybe best we can hope for is reboot of Adam-12; though that was set in L.A. which has equally degraded into one of Dante’s layers of Hell, but maybe could be reset into a different City; as a method of bringing traditional values and BACK THE BLUE back; as opposed to all the Trash we’re getting these days (like, sadly, the reboot of Quantum Leap went all WOKE)?!?!?


Some final thoughts:

Now after three-parts total of/for “Movies and Politics (Music and TV tacked on in part 3)” I could go on forever, and probably no surprise to anyone that is a regular reader of mine that at some time in near future I would have a part three (more on Movies, and to pivot to Music and TV) as I now have! 


Follow-up to the piece a few weeks back discussion of one of my all-time favorite Directors/Producers Roland Emmerich (and the part 2 “Movies, Snacks, Politics” piece): Many know Toby and/or Noah Emmerich, two of the people involved in/with the great Movie CELLULAR (with Noah Emmerich*, Chris Evans, Jason Statham, William H. Macy, Kim Bassinger, more) I just rented (via my DISHnetwork OnDemand feature (sign-up with my VCD0026116345 referral code for discounts)) to watch again as it is an A+ (remember, when that film came out was just at the time of proliferation of Cell phones with advanced features and therefore absolute genius script at that time). A good “temporary escape from Politics film.” From GOOGLE (about Noah): On television, the native New Yorker was a series regular on BACKWASH and played the despondent Dr. Edwin Jenner in the two-part Season 1 finale of THE WALKING DEAD. Emmerich's brother is film producer Toby Emmerich, but they are not, Emmerich explains, related to Director/Producer Roland Emmerich. 

The Emmerich lines via DuckDuckGo (here).

Gasp, can you believe it? YES, you’ve reached the end of this article already! LOL Hey, gotta poke fun at ourselves if we are to be able to laugh at others. I am indeed trying to SCALE BACK the length of my pieces! 😊
