Podcast appearances and mentions of Jeff Thompson

Next year marks the 60th anniversary of Dark Shadows. The gothic soap opera wasn't originally intended to include a vampire, but when creator Dan Curtis introduced the character of Barnabas Collins in a last-ditch effort to avoid cancellation, he inadvertently launched a cultural phenomenon. As portrayed by actor Jonathan Frid, the character of Barnabas sparked a never-ending debate among horror fans as to whether vampires should be depicted as pure predators or tragic, misunderstood outcasts. I talk with Danielle Gelehrter (host of the podcast Terror at Collinwood) and authors Mark Dawidziak and Jeff Thompson about why the show had a meteoric rise and fall, what the series reflected about the 1960s, and whether Dark Shadows can have eternal life as a form of IP.

Our episode is a little longer today because it is a bit of a hybrid thanks to a live audience show I did the night before. I use the first 45-50 minutes to bring my normal show to you but then transition to a replay of the live event hosted by Americans for Prosperity in NW Georgia. To start, there is great news of a cease fire with the Houthis and a re-opening of the Red Sea shipping lanes. We now have word the owner of the vehicle that was stopped by the Tennessee Highway Patrol with Kilmar Abrego Garcia driving and filled with people, says he paid Garcia several times to run people into the country from the border. Next, we go to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's testimony on the Hill yesterday. To illustrate the level of intellect inherent to the Democrat Party today, we turn to Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-NY). Then, for the added cherry on top, we turn to mad Maxine Waters (D-CA) regarding DOGE. This leads to a short segment on why DOGE needs to continue working daily to find and root out the fraud, waste, abuse and corruption. Then we shift to the live show from Tuesday, May 06, 2025 at AFP. We start with a short conversation with Jeff Thompson of AFP before turning to Tony West. West joined AFP in Georgia in 2015. He has served in various roles before being elevated to State Director in October of 2023. Prior to joining AFP, he spent three years as an analyst in the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget under Gov. Nathan Deal. Our keynote guest is Beverly Peyton, newly elected head of the GOP for Bartow County, GA. We talk a lot about her beginnings, growing up in Chicago and watching jobs and factories move away, leaving her and many of her friends on the edge of poverty. Realizing she was a critical point of turning down a bad path, she instead enlisted in the National Guard and it turned her life around and set her on a path of growth and success. She started to become more politically active in 2016 and is now a local leader in the Republican Party. After the interviews, I discuss the topic of immigration, due process and how the Legacy/mainstream media wants to take pieces of the 5th and 14th Amendments to try to make their points. I also spend some time on AI and what it will mean for everyone. We then close with a short Q&A session with the audience.

Today's bonus episode is a live audience recording of my show with Americans for Prosperity of Georgia. The show opens with a short interview of Jeff Thompson of AFP in NW Georgia. We then dive into a shortened version of my show, touching on how the Legacy/mainstream media always seems to be on the exact same message and page as the narratives being provided by the Left. I then move into foreign policy with Israel taking out the head of Hamas in the very area that Harris told Israel not to go. Then, Harris has the audacity to address the press and take half credit for what Israel accomplished. We next turn to a quote from Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) on whether or not we will ever hear him use the words “climate change.” After his reply I remind the audience that if we really wanted clean energy we'd be building nuclear power plants on every street corner. Before moving to the audience Q&A portion, we close with a quote from VP Harris on the Brett Baier interview where she said she would never call the American people “stupid” and yet I have a quote from here calling 18-24 year old's just that. I then take several questions from the audience and close with a reminder from our host, Jeff Thompson, on how to reach out to AFP and/or follow them online and on social media. All-in-all, it was a lot of fun and I hope to be able to do more live shows in the future. Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.
