Frank from Queens is simply known as, “the greatest caller in the history of talk Radio.” Right from the start, Frank hit the talk radio scene fast and furiously and quickly became well known for his impressive and impassioned phone calls. Over the years he has built up an arsenal of historical knowledge and his acumen was on display during his intriguing and prescient calls. Talk Radio legend Bob Grant began to take notice and Frank's calls were soon dubbed the "Frank FURY!" Throughout the years, he called every other well known host along the dial, and in the end, NOT ONE of them could contend with his persona. Frank is a brilliant observer of current events and a master at drawing historical parallels. New listeners will soon realize how his profound commentary has aroused the nick name, “Vintage Frank.”
John of SI has been dubbed “Talk Radio’s One-Man S.W.A.T. Team." His tell-it-like-it-is delivery in his calls over the years has endeared him to those who agree and invoked anger and outrage from those who disagree. It is often wondered how John comes up with all the facts, dates, and sources to validate his or Frank’s commentary on so many issues. John explains, “There is no need for conservatives to lie, fabricate, or distort. Liberals have to — because everything they believe goes against human nature and history has proven them to be wrong on almost every major issue. I do not lie or make up anything I speak about for one good reason — once someone discovers that you have lied to them or been cutesy with the facts, they will never believe anything you say from that point on.” A knockout blow can easily be administered when the facts and sources are consistently at his fingertips. The greatest enemy of the political “Left” are facts! Liberals have taught John that since they choose to believe what they want, he has found it easiest to keep a notebook computer close by to instantly pull up information to refute them on any subject. His database is constantly being updated as history unwinds!
Listeners to talk radio were immediately amazed by Frank and John. As the medium became more and more politically correct, they remained independent guardians of the truth. The American people were thankful to hear that they still had "someone" representing them on the air waves. As Frank & John's popularity grew they continued to create a stir and had the audience asking hosts, “Did Frank of Queens or John of Staten Island call yet?” Of course, this didn't sit well with the hosts. Well...they like it even less now that the best-known callers to talk radio have become hosts themselves!
At first, Frank and John only knew of each other but had never spoken directly. Eventually, they were invited to appear as guests on a number of shows, including one of the founders of talk radio, Barry Farber. On one of these occasions with John as Barry Farber’s in-studio guest, Frank called the show giving John his first opportunity to speak to him directly and tell Frank he had been a fan of his for years. They stayed in close contact and became best of friends.
During the glory days of talk radio in the early ‘90s, there was no limit to the number of shows Frank and John could call, but after Bill Clinton blamed the Oklahoma City bombing on talk radio in an attempt to silence many of his critics, things changed. Radio station managers and producers actually let Clinton’s opportunistic drivel intimidate them. Outspoken callers, and especially the most popular regular ones, including Frank and John, were suddenly given less time to express their opinions, passed over by the call screeners, and eventually, it was made clear that they were not welcome and banned from many stations. In fact, callers in general had become an after thought. They continued to take calls but every caller was told “you have thirty seconds.” or “we’re up on a break, make it quick…" etc.... The “silent hang up” became the standard to shorten calls and dispense with any real give and take so real conversation all but disappeared.
Frank and John became tired of the censorship and when an opportunity arose to partake in a talk show of their own with two other callers, “TRP” was born. It debuted on February 16, 1998 on WVNJ New Jersey. The program had a brief but brilliant run and eventually moved to short wave and the Internet.
Frank and John have co-hosted the reborn TRP for over 20 years, with many other famous callers from mainstream talk radio becoming faithful listeners and callers to “The RIGHT Perspective.” Frank's now famous weekly monologue to start the show has become appointment radio! The callers are once again part of the presentation as real conversation has returned to the airwaves. They are offering up a refreshing throwback type talk radio that hasn’t been heard in years. The RIGHT Perspective has proved that callers are once again looked upon as an asset instead of an afterthought. “Fair and Balanced” on TRP simply means you have the right to agree or disagree! There is no concern about a need to present the “other side” of issues because everyone is encouraged to express whatever opinion they like. Therein lies the “balance!” However, if you’re going to disagree with these guys you better have your ducks in order.
ENJOY! This is TRUE Free Speech radio on display! When listening, nothing short of the Truth is accepted! Frank and John deliver the real thing!
BATTLE ON, PATRIOT! BATTLE ON!
