  Speaker 1: Broadcasting coast-to-coast and border-to-border from Memphis, Tennessee.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: That's us, that's right.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Our love is American, right.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Todd Starks.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 0:27
  Speaker 5: And ladies and gentlemen, Decision Day is finally here. Hello, everyone.
• 0:32
  Speaker 5: Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Show. We have a
• 0:36
  Speaker 5: jam-packed program for you today. A lot of moving parts
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: around the nation. And we're going to be talking to
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: the finest experts, people we have relied upon throughout this
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: political season. The midterm elections. And ladies and gentlemen, I
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: just want you to hear something from the outset. And
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: I think this is an important thing. I've been pretty
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: even keeled through the entire election season. And a lot
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: of folks have been asking why, why I haven't been panicking,
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: why I haven't been like a lot of the other
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: talk radio hosts in this particular election. a time when
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: folks are freaking out, and it's been a tough election season,
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: no doubt about that. But ultimately, we really can only
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: control certain things, and I believe that all of us
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: have to do our duty. And as a law-abiding American citizen,
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: and especially as a Christian American, I believe we have
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: a responsibility to go and vote. Everything after that, God
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: is in control. And if you don't go and vote, well,
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: you elect Democrats. I mean, that's really the bottom line here.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: So many people have been saying, Todd, what if we
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: lose today? What if the Republicans don't do well? What
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: happens then? Is it all over? Well, I don't believe
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: it's all over. There is always hope. And as long
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: as God is on the throne, there's always going to
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: be hope in America. So I want you to remember that.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: And tomorrow, if things don't go great... We're going to
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: come back on this program, and we're going to fight, fight, fight.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: That's the message from President Trump. And look, we're going
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: to keep fighting the good fight because there's no other
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: place to go, folks. This really is freedom's last stand
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: right here in the United States of America. So all
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: of us are going to have to fight together. And look,
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: there are going to be a lot of problems we've
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: got to have sorted out, no doubt about that. And
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: that is a conversation for another day starting tomorrow. But
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: right now, we've got to get out the vote. And
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: I've been talking to a lot of Republican insiders, folks
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: in the know, and I'm just going to tell you,
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: to a person, they're all very concerned. Now, you heard
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Speaker Mike Johnson yesterday, and the Speaker of the House
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: has been out there working his butt off, and he
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: says that all of the polling data is incredibly wrong
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: and Republicans are going to win, and Republicans are going
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: to win big. So we're going to check in with
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: Matt Tallery, who is our trusted pollster. and political analyst.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: We're going to check in with him in just a
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: little while. Also, Steve Gill is going to be here.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: Our good buddy Harry Hurley and Jeff Katz are going
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: to drop by, and Josh Jones, who I believe is
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: in Texas with candidates, congressional candidates. Josh is going to
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: wrap things up for us in the last hour of
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: the program. And we're going to be taking your calls.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: And here's what I want to hear from you. I
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: want to know if you've been out to vote. Give
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: us an idea of what the crowds look like in
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: your towns, in your communities. Are people getting out the vote?
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: I will say this, that if the Republicans stay home today,
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: it could be a difficult night for Republicans. So this
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: is really about getting out the vote. I will say
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: that things are looking very good for Mike Rogers right
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: now in Michigan. A lot of Democrats that are being
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: interviewed coming out of the polling places say they voted
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: for Mike Rogers. They just are not as far left
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: as their party wants them to be. And a lot
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: of Jews in Michigan are very concerned about Abdul El-Sayed.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: and his hatred of the Jewish people. There are a
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: lot of minorities, specifically blacks in Michigan, who are very
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: alarmed at many of the policies coming out of El-Sayed,
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: and all of those people are voting Republican, so this
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: could be a very good day in the state of Michigan.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: We're going to take your calls. I want you to
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: write down the number here, 901-260-5926. We're opening up the
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: phone lines for the entire show today. And we want
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: to hear from you. We want to hear of any
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: problems at the polling places. We're happy to pass those
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: along to the Department of Justice. We know, for example,
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: that the DOJ, and this is a bit of history,
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: for the first time in American history, the Justice Department
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: has sent election monitors to all 50 states. I know,
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: and for example, in Tennessee, where I live and where
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: we broadcast this program from nationally, that the three major
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: metropolitan areas, Shelby County, Memphis, Davidson County, Nashville, Knox County, Knoxville,
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: there will be people monitoring the elections in those cities.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: So again, our number, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. So we are
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: getting some nuggets, though, of what to expect. Governor Ron
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: DeSantis is out there. He sat down with Stephen A.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Smith yesterday and basically, I don't want to say tore
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: the Republicans a new one because I don't think that
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: was the intent of But Governor Ron DeSantis, I think
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: he's been observing all of this from a distance, and
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: he realizes where the Republicans have gone wrong here. And
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: it's on several issues. Cut number 22, please.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Some of these Republicans are saying, oh, well, the gas,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: don't worry, it's not a big deal. They're trying to
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: blame Biden for it. No, no, listen, we just got
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: to be honest. Gas is higher. it hurts people, working
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: class people, and it's higher because of this conflict.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: That's just a fact.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: If you can't admit that to voters, then you're gaslighting
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: them and they're not going to listen to you on
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: other things.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think DeSantis is right there. And it seems
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: as though that the governor is already doing an autopsy
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: of the election. Normally, those kinds of conversations happen after
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: the election, not the day before the election. And DeSantis
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: is is out there saying, okay, this turned out to
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: be a problem. Also, DeSantis brought up the Iran war.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: Cut number 24.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: So here's the thing with Iran and why I think
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: it's been a big, big drag.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: You know, it was launched.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: He obviously ran saying he wasn't going to do a
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Middle East war.
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: They did.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: So we have some of our voters who've checked out
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: because they're like, I didn't want any more Middle East wars.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: And now we're doing it. Had that been wrapped up
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: in like a week, like Venezuela was very quick. People
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: probably wouldn't have been an issue right now.
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: But what's happened is it's kind of an open ended
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: conflict and it's having a direct impact on people's finances
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: because they're going to the gas pump. They're saying energy
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: prices have gone up.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: So, again, it is having an impact on people and
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: the Iran war and the gas prices and and the
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: prices of the grocery store. Those are big issues. Affordability.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: So what's going on here with Ron DeSantis? First of all,
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: this guy's running for president. That's what's going on here.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: He's going to be running in 2028. And I told
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: you that after today, we're going to see a lot
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: of factions begin to form. And you're going to see
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: a lot of people turning on President Trump. That is
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: going to happen. And Ron DeSantis feels very comfortable getting
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: out there and talking about these issues. Now, look, here's
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: the deal with Ron DeSantis. He's absolutely correct here. Those
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: are big issues. The question is, is that going to
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: impact what happens today? I want to go to the phones.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: I told you we're going to the phones. We've got
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: a lot of guests. We're going to have a fast-moving
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: show today, everybody. Let's start today. Clear Lake City, Texas.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: Mike is listening to us on Patriot Talk 920. Mike,
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: what can you tell us about polling places there in Texas?
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: Well, we live in Harris County, and our polling place
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: is down the street and around the corner from where
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: we live. We voted early, and, of course, I could
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: drive by there almost every day and check things out.
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: Early voting, the line was wrapped around the building. I
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: just drove by there today, and I talked to people
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: that went and voted first thing this morning. I talked
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: to people that voted a couple hours ago. When I
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: just drove by there, the polling place had been open
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: four hours. There is no line. You just walk in
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: and vote. And then I'm afraid... based on social media
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: and people I've talked to, friends, business associates, so forth,
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: the basic premise or the basic mindset is, what good
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: is it going to do us? And I'm specifically talking
• 9:40
  Speaker 8: about Paxton and Tallarico because Ted Cruz and no one
• 9:44
  Speaker 8: else is, you know, they complain about the Senate and
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: John Thune, but no one's worked to get him removed.
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: So then the mindset then becomes, or the question then becomes,
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: what good is it going to do us to send
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: Paxton to D.C. when the entire Republican Party in the
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: Senate does absolutely nothing?
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: It's a fair point, Mike. And again, this is something
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: that has to be addressed after the election. John Thune
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: has to be removed as the leader of the Senate Republicans,
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: if he's still the majority leader. If they're in the minority,
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: he's got to go anyway. I mean, he's just got
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: to go. And there's got to be some movement here
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: on the issues.
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: Well, I haven't talked to anybody that was reluctant and
• 10:27
  Speaker 8: said that they just weren't going to vote. They're voting
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: reluctantly because, like I said, the House has sent them
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: 700 pieces of legislation. They couldn't pass the SAVE Act,
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: codifying executive orders, judicial nominees. None of that's been done
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: by the Senate. And so everybody's in like, oh, well,
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: I guess I'll go ahead and vote because it's the
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: right thing to do. but it's really not going to
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: do any good.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Mike, I hear you, and I think there are
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: a lot of reluctant voters out there. Very concerned, though,
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: about later this afternoon, there is a massive severe storm
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: system that's going to impact a lot of the Midwestern
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: states all the way down to the Southern states. And
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: if we are dealing with a reluctant Republican base today,
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: How many are going to be willing to go out
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: in the middle of a tornado watch or a tornado
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: warning to cast a ballot? And that could be a challenge.
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: Well, we have thunderstorms predicted in the early afternoon here
• 11:27
  Speaker 8: in Harris County. Yeah, if it's pouring down rain and
• 11:30
  Speaker 8: people are going to just say, what the heck?
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:33
  Speaker 9: Why, Bob?
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: No doubt about it. But we've got to get out.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: We've got to encourage people to get out and vote.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: We've got to save the republic. Mike, thank you for
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: that call. Let's go to Dahlonega, Georgia. Anna is on
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: the line from WDUN. Hi, Anna. What's going on?
• 11:50
  Speaker 10: Well, I was listening to what you had to say, Todd.
• 11:54
  Speaker 11: And I think that.
• 11:55
  Speaker 12: We've just got....
• 11:58
  Speaker 11: A citizenry that doesn't understand what's at stake. I know
• 12:03
  Speaker 11: they talk about forever wars.
• 12:05
  Speaker 13: Which this is not.
• 12:07
  Speaker 11: I know they talk about.
• 12:10
  Speaker 10: Their gas prices.
• 12:14
  Speaker 11: Dang, what if you were in World War II?
• 12:17
  Speaker 10: You want to talk about gas prices?
• 12:19
  Speaker 11: You want to talk about forever wars?
• 12:24
  Speaker 10: These people in the United States Not just the kids,
• 12:29
  Speaker 10: but a lot of people are indulged with bad information
• 12:34
  Speaker 10: and a bad education. I can't even believe people want
• 12:40
  Speaker 10: to get off their duff and go vote. What in
• 12:43
  Speaker 10: the world do they think is going to happen? If
• 12:47
  Speaker 10: you're going to vote.
• 12:48
  Speaker 11: For El-Sayed, and whoever that guy is with the glasses.
• 12:56
  Speaker 10: That he's friends with, and all this Tlaib and Omar,
• 13:02
  Speaker 10: and we've got, I think there's 40 mayors that are Muslim.
• 13:09
  Speaker 11: What do you think they're here for? I mean, not
• 13:12
  Speaker 11: all of them, but I would say the vast majority are.
• 13:16
  Speaker 14: They want the country.
• 13:17
  Speaker 11: Do you get that? Do you get they want the country?
• 13:21
  Speaker 11: And do you get that they may get that thing,
• 13:25
  Speaker 11: that darn idea?
• 13:29
  Speaker 10: Might just happen.
• 13:31
  Speaker 11: And if you don't go out there and vote, I
• 13:36
  Speaker 11: just don't get it.
• 13:37
  Speaker 10: I don't get it, Todd. I don't get what people.
• 13:40
  Speaker 11: I guess people's living in a.
• 13:43
  Speaker 10: Some kind of a dimension. I don't... They think that they.
• 13:47
  Speaker 11: Can say and do things on social media. It's gone
• 13:51
  Speaker 11: to hell in a handbasket. And unless these people understand
• 13:58
  Speaker 11: that when they wake up one morning and there is
• 14:02
  Speaker 11: a real problem, a serious problem, where somebody's knocking on
• 14:09
  Speaker 11: your door, wanting your house or... Well, I just, I'm
• 14:13
  Speaker 11: so frustrated with this.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: Anna, I understand your frustration, but I understand why people
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: are also frustrated on the other side. And they are
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: legitimate concerns. And when you look, for example, at the prices,
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: and the administration's trying to convince us that the affordability
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: issue is not a big issue. It is a big issue.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: And they should have acknowledged that. And I think that
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: maybe the voters would be a bit more forgiving. And again, look,
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: we've got a long day ahead of us, Anna. And
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: we've got a lot of votes to be counted, a
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: lot of votes to be cast. And my encouragement is
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: just get out there and let's save the president from impeachment.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: Because ultimately, Anna, that may be the only thing that
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: people are going out and voting for is to stop
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: the Democrats from impeaching Donald Trump. Anna, I've got to run,
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: but thank you for that call.
• 15:11
  Speaker 14: 901-260-5926.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. Remember back
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: in 2020 when the media narrative was absolute, when anybody
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: suggesting early alternatives was instantly silenced and deplatformed? The late Dr.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: Zev Zelenko was right at the epicenter of it all
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: when he created Z-Stack and the Zelenko Protocol. He took
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: immense heat for sharing his protocol specifically designed to boost
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: your immune system. Even President Trump himself cited him in
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: a press briefing regarding what would become known as the
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: Zelenko Protocol, which led to Trump himself adopting it. I
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: just saw the video on X and saw it for myself. Amazing.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: Every key ingredient behind those protocols was meticulously chosen based
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: on rigorous research at the exact doses that matter. Now,
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: over five years later, history has completely vindicated him. Now
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: we all know how critical a strong immune system is.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: And if you've ever felt helpless watching the headlines, hear this.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: You are not powerless. There is something you can do
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: about it. ZStack gives your body the foundational immune support
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: it needs to help fight off whatever is circulating out there.

• 17:04
  Speaker 5: you with us. Let's get right to the phones on
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: this election day. Larry in Cleveland, Georgia, listening to us today. WRWH,
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: our great affiliate there.
• 17:15
  Speaker 9: Hi, Larry.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: What's on your mind?
• 17:18
  Speaker 17: I just want to say, These people worried about gas prices.
• 17:22
  Speaker 17: Do they think the Democrats is going to bring the
• 17:25
  Speaker 17: price down?
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: Say that one more time, Larry.
• 17:32
  Speaker 17: I say people worried about the price of gas. Do
• 17:36
  Speaker 17: they think Democrats are going to bring the price down?
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: No, not at all. And Larry, this and it's really
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: not about gas prices. It's about it's about Republicans betraying
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: the voters. And so now the voters have to decide,
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: are we willing to allow the Republicans to screw us
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: again or do we want to send them a message?
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: And I'm telling you, Larry, I don't think this is
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: the election cycle to send a message.
• 18:04
  Speaker 17: Well, all I can say is if you don't vote Republican,
• 18:10
  Speaker 17: you're looking for higher prices on everything.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: Well, the problem is if you vote Republican, and that
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: was the argument the last go-around two years ago. And
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: the prices are now higher in some instances than they
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: were two years ago. So, Larry, I get it. I
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: truly get it. And Republicans are going to have to,
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: I think we're all going to have to come to
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: terms with making a decision we don't want to make.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: But let me tell you, if we put the Democrats
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: in charge, this is going to have a massive, massive
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: implication for every single one of us.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Larry, got to run.
• 18:47

• 19:58
  Speaker 5: Starnes Radio Show.
• 20:16
  Speaker 18: So to our great young generation, I'm standing in front
• 20:18
  Speaker 18: of the Oval Office and I just want to tell you,
• 20:21
  Speaker 18: so important to get out and vote. This is the
• 20:23
  Speaker 18: golden age of America. We've never done better, even close
• 20:27
  Speaker 18: to it. You've got to go out. We have to
• 20:29
  Speaker 18: keep it going, keep it going strong. To all those
• 20:32
  Speaker 18: young people, get out and vote.
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: All right, that was President Trump just a little while
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: ago from the White House standing in front of the
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: new Oval Office sign telling all you Gen Zers to
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: get out and vote. Want to go right away to
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line, our good buddy, one of
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: the best pollsters and political analysts in the country, Matt
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: Towery joins us. Matt, all right, Election Day, what's your
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: take on how things are going thus far?
• 21:01
  Speaker 12: Well, I'm going to be shameless in this, but I
• 21:04
  Speaker 12: have a new book called The Honoring of Ignorance, and
• 21:07
  Speaker 12: it's all about what we're seeing play out right now.
• 21:11
  Speaker 12: I write about how The Mirage machine, the media, tries
• 21:14
  Speaker 12: to brainwash the public into believing that things are worse
• 21:17
  Speaker 12: than they are. And then the pollsters come along, these
• 21:20
  Speaker 12: horrible polls that show the Republicans are going to get slaughtered.
• 21:24
  Speaker 12: And then the fact-checkers all say, and the polling mavens
• 21:27
  Speaker 12: all say, oh, they're correct. It's a wave. And you
• 21:30
  Speaker 12: know what we're seeing today, Todd? We are seeing record
• 21:33
  Speaker 12: turnout in Florida. Record turnout in Michigan. Record turnout in Ohio.
• 21:40
  Speaker 12: Record turnout in Texas. And those same-day votes generally tend
• 21:45
  Speaker 12: to be substantially Republican. Now, I can't tell you if
• 21:49
  Speaker 12: we're going to win or lose those races with.
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: The Republican Party.
• 21:52
  Speaker 12: What I can tell you is this. The New York Times,
• 21:55
  Speaker 12: they had Tallarico, I think, up eight in Texas. And
• 21:59
  Speaker 12: the Washington Post, they had Marshall down ten in Kansas.
• 22:05
  Speaker 12: And all these other polls that were designed basically for us,
• 22:08
  Speaker 12: everybody put up their hands and said, we give up.
• 22:11
  Speaker 12: they had the complete reverse impact. And we're seeing people
• 22:16
  Speaker 12: turn out same day at 2024 presidential levels in some
• 22:20
  Speaker 12: areas of the country.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: That's remarkable. Again, I saw those poll numbers from the
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: New York Times, and it's just unbelievable. I mean, that
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: would have to be a complete repudiation of the Republican Party.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: And I know people are frustrated, Matt, but I don't
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: think they're that frustrated.
• 22:38
  Speaker 12: Well, I mean, you have to think about each state
• 22:40
  Speaker 12: is an individual situation. So in Michigan, you have El-Sayed,
• 22:45
  Speaker 12: who is way off the grid in terms of normalcy.
• 22:50
  Speaker 12: And then he gets endorsed by, or rather his opponent,
• 22:56
  Speaker 12: who almost defeated him, endorses the Republican Rogers. Now, I
• 23:01
  Speaker 12: know from experience that there are at least 15% of
• 23:05
  Speaker 12: a group that vote for any candidate who are loyal,
• 23:07
  Speaker 12: they'll walk across hot coals to support that candidate. Now,
• 23:12
  Speaker 12: so I can't imagine 15%, at least, of her supporters saying, okay,
• 23:19
  Speaker 12: I'm going to go with her and vote for Rogers.
• 23:20
  Speaker 15: Now, that happens. It's over.
• 23:23
  Speaker 12: And I think the polling around this country, you know,
• 23:26
  Speaker 12: there are a few polling firms, Insider Advantage, my firm, Rasmussen,
• 23:30
  Speaker 12: A couple of others, Trafalgar, obviously, or Robert Haley, Emerson,
• 23:36
  Speaker 12: that have been able to pick up these situations where
• 23:42
  Speaker 12: we can get Republican votes to respond to our polls.
• 23:46
  Speaker 16: But most of the.
• 23:46
  Speaker 12: New York Times, Washington Post, they can't get it.
• 23:48
  Speaker 19: They're so underpolled Republicans.
• 23:50
  Speaker 12: And then they have to wake them up, and the
• 23:52
  Speaker 12: waiting is just too obscure. It just makes the poll incomplete. Now,
• 23:57
  Speaker 12: I could be proven totally wrong tomorrow. But I know
• 24:00
  Speaker 12: one thing. When you have big same-day voter turnout, and
• 24:03
  Speaker 12: by the way, the Republicans caught up big time during
• 24:07
  Speaker 12: the early voting as well.
• 24:09
  Speaker 19: So I just don't think it's going to be the slaughter.
• 24:12
  Speaker 12: That everyone talks about. And I think you may see
• 24:14
  Speaker 12: Ohio go Republican, at least the Senate seat. I think
• 24:18
  Speaker 12: you may see Texas go Republican. I think you may
• 24:20
  Speaker 12: see Michigan go Republican. I certainly think I will go Republican.
• 24:25
  Speaker 12: I just don't see the cataclysmic situation that the New
• 24:29
  Speaker 12: York Times and Nate Silver set out.
• 24:30
  Speaker 16: Now, the House I.
• 24:31
  Speaker 12: Don't know about because I've not publicly polled that, but
• 24:34
  Speaker 12: if ever this was the play out of my book,
• 24:38
  Speaker 12: The Honoring of Ignorance, people go buy it and take
• 24:41
  Speaker 12: it to, for gosh sakes, take it to Thanksgiving dinner,
• 24:44
  Speaker 12: give it to your liberal friends and have them read
• 24:47
  Speaker 12: it and see if they can now understand how the
• 24:50
  Speaker 12: system is being rigged.
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and again, folks, you can get this wherever you
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: buy your books. Amazon's a great place. The honoring of ignorance,
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: the seven mirages destroying America. And Matt, you do have
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: to wonder, after this election cycle, let's just say, for
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: the sake of our conversation, the Republicans maintain control of
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: the House and the Senate. And you have to wonder,
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: are we going to have a come-to-Jesus moment with all
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: of these polling companies and, quite frankly, with the mainstream
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: media that has also been complicit in all of this?
• 25:24
  Speaker 12: Well, you know, I'm not a big fan of government
• 25:27
  Speaker 12: getting involved in all this stuff because I think it
• 25:30
  Speaker 12: gets so close to free speech. But let me tell
• 25:33
  Speaker 12: you what the Republicans should do, and this is in
• 25:34
  Speaker 12: my book as well. The Republicans need to start funding
• 25:38
  Speaker 12: nonprofit organizations every week provide news to the public via
• 25:44
  Speaker 12: paid ads on shows that the regular average person watches,
• 25:49
  Speaker 12: not political shows. They're bringing up the speed on the
• 25:52
  Speaker 12: news of the week that the NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNOW,
• 25:57
  Speaker 12: Google News, Apple News, Yahoo News will not let them see.
• 26:02
  Speaker 12: I mean, most people don't know that we've got the lowest.
• 26:04
  Speaker 19: Unemployment we've had since 1960. They don't realize the GDP
• 26:08
  Speaker 19: number was just through the roof. They don't realize that
• 26:10
  Speaker 19: more people have more disposable income right now than they
• 26:13
  Speaker 19: did under Joe Biden, or that inflation is half of
• 26:16
  Speaker 19: what it was under Joe Biden when he was facing
• 26:18
  Speaker 19: his midterms. They don't know it because Republicans didn't tell
• 26:21
  Speaker 19: them until the last minute.
• 26:22
  Speaker 12: That he'd create ads about it early on. And I
• 26:25
  Speaker 12: had someone I really respect yesterday say, well, Matt, you know,
• 26:29
  Speaker 12: it's just not normal for Republicans to run ads in
• 26:33
  Speaker 12: April and May and June. I said, that's exactly my point.
• 26:37
  Speaker 12: They've got to get outside of the box. and start
• 26:40
  Speaker 12: educating and fighting this media because it's this media that
• 26:43
  Speaker 12: creates the mantra. They told everybody that gas punk was
• 26:46
  Speaker 12: the only thing that mattered in this country. Well, if
• 26:48
  Speaker 12: that was the case, Joe Biden had higher gas prices
• 26:51
  Speaker 12: during most of the term election in 2022. Every single
• 26:54
  Speaker 12: Democrat should have been defeated, and that didn't happen. They
• 26:57
  Speaker 12: focus on what they want, and then their pollsters come
• 27:00
  Speaker 12: in and say, it's not just bad. It's terrible.
• 27:03
  Speaker 16: It's a tsunami.
• 27:04
  Speaker 12: Now, Republicans may lose a lot of seats. I don't know.
• 27:07
  Speaker 12: I could not be able to poll the House. And
• 27:08
  Speaker 12: they could even lose and set it. But right now,
• 27:11
  Speaker 12: this is nothing like what we were told last night
• 27:14
  Speaker 12: and two days ago, three days ago by the Nate
• 27:16
  Speaker 12: Silvers of the world. I think we're going to see
• 27:18
  Speaker 12: a much different response because Republicans are turning out in
• 27:22
  Speaker 12: these critical states. And I might add also, there's been
• 27:25
  Speaker 12: a CNN interview over there interviewing folks in Michigan as
• 27:28
  Speaker 12: they voted. They said, well, we voted straight Democrat except
• 27:31
  Speaker 12: for one person, Al Fayed. So we couldn't vote for him.
• 27:34
  Speaker 12: because he doesn't reflect our values. They had two or
• 27:37
  Speaker 12: three voters say the same thing. I think they were stunned.
• 27:40
  Speaker 12: I don't know if it was a live shout or not.
• 27:42
  Speaker 12: It's said they probably cut it off the control group.
• 27:44
  Speaker 12: But that's what's happening in this country today. And I
• 27:48
  Speaker 12: think tonight we're going to see much closer races than
• 27:51
  Speaker 12: we were told by all these polling experts and political
• 27:54
  Speaker 12: experts and stages and the like over the last few weeks.
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: Matt Towery joining us. He is the author of the
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: brand new book called The Honoring of Ignorance, The Seven
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: Mirages Destroying America. And Matt, I want you to give
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: your book a plug here because this is one of
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: those books I think every American needs to read to
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: understand what's going on here with the country right now.
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: Well, I think they do.
• 28:18
  Speaker 12: And, you know, it's oddly enough, I have a lot
• 28:20
  Speaker 12: of very high politicians and media folks who don't even
• 28:23
  Speaker 12: understand it. Because we live in a conservative bubble. You know,
• 28:26
  Speaker 12: we watch Fox News. We watch Newsmax. We watch your show.
• 28:30
  Speaker 12: We listen to other radio shows.
• 28:34
  Speaker 20: You name it.
• 28:36
  Speaker 15: Buck Sexton and.
• 28:41
  Speaker 12: His partner. But the problem with this is that that's
• 28:46
  Speaker 12: only 25% of the media. So 75% of the media
• 28:49
  Speaker 12: is still liberal. They leave everything out positive about Trump.
• 28:53
  Speaker 12: They then funnel it into Yahoo News, Google News, Apple News,
• 28:56
  Speaker 12: which is delivered on your phone and computer every day.
• 28:59
  Speaker 12: And most people don't have time to sit around and
• 29:01
  Speaker 12: listen to all day long political commentary. And Republicans don't
• 29:05
  Speaker 12: understand what it means. What mountain they have to climb up.
• 29:09
  Speaker 12: Every single cycle. You've seen it over and.
• 29:12
  Speaker 20: Over, Todd.
• 29:13
  Speaker 12: And at some point, they've got to come to realize
• 29:16
  Speaker 12: that they're not just fighting the other candidate in the
• 29:18
  Speaker 12: last six weeks of the campaign. They're fighting a media
• 29:21
  Speaker 12: working against them 24-7, 365. And it's time for them
• 29:26
  Speaker 12: to create foundations and groups to educate the public and
• 29:29
  Speaker 12: tell them the truth. Not to advocate, and certainly not
• 29:33
  Speaker 12: to tell lies, but to just tell facts. that the
• 29:35
  Speaker 12: American people don't know, like most Americans don't know about
• 29:39
  Speaker 12: the Trump accounts. which is amazing he's talked about it
• 29:42
  Speaker 12: a thousand times that all of their kids could be
• 29:44
  Speaker 12: getting these Trump accounts and yet about 85% in one
• 29:48
  Speaker 12: of the polls we did a few months ago had
• 29:50
  Speaker 12: no idea about the Trump account well that's because the
• 29:52
  Speaker 12: media would not let them know about it so is
• 29:55
  Speaker 12: Republicans win the Senate it'll be a miracle but it
• 29:58
  Speaker 12: might happen tonight They win the House. It would be
• 30:01
  Speaker 12: a real miracle. But if they do well, then they
• 30:05
  Speaker 12: should now reflect and say, well, how do we get
• 30:07
  Speaker 12: past this cycle and get it to where we do
• 30:10
  Speaker 12: well six months out rather than have to fight our
• 30:13
  Speaker 12: way back? Because Donald Trump literally, I said this last
• 30:16
  Speaker 12: time on the Sean Hannity show, he gets all the
• 30:19
  Speaker 12: credit for this win because he's been going to all
• 30:22
  Speaker 12: these states and turning people out. And in Alaska, they
• 30:24
  Speaker 12: haven't had a presidential visit in the midterm, I don't think, ever.
• 30:28
  Speaker 12: And how many votes will he account for that otherwise
• 30:31
  Speaker 12: Alaska Republicans wouldn't have had? It's just, to me, he
• 30:35
  Speaker 12: has been an amazing, inspirational person.
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: Well, I think we may have lost Matt there. All right,
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: Matt Towery. Okay, well, sorry about that, Matt. We'll try
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: to figure that out. But again, Matt Towery joining us
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: on a very, very busy news day. Matt, we've got
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: you back here. I will say this to your point
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: about President Trump. One of the things I was so
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: impressed with, those rallies– you know, a lot of people said,
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: what was the point? The point was the president did
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: a work around the national media because every single local
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: newspaper and local TV station, guess where they were? They
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: were at those Trump rallies and the front page headlines.
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: You better believe that had to have jazzed up the
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: base in those states and those communities.
• 31:28
  Speaker 16: Oh, yeah.
• 31:29
  Speaker 12: Like in Alaska, where no president has ever. I mean,
• 31:35
  Speaker 12: that's And so if, in fact, the Senate is held,
• 31:39
  Speaker 12: it will be because of Donald Trump. There's no doubt
• 31:42
  Speaker 12: about it. And I was sort of cut off, as
• 31:44
  Speaker 12: you say. I talked to the president about some of
• 31:46
  Speaker 12: the concepts of this book. I'm going to send him— I
• 31:49
  Speaker 12: know he probably doesn't have time to read anything. I'm
• 31:51
  Speaker 12: going to send him the honoring of ignorance and say,
• 31:53
  Speaker 12: you've got to read this, Mr. President, because we've got
• 31:54
  Speaker 12: to change the way things are done. and never have
• 31:57
  Speaker 12: to go through this again.
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: Well said. All right, Matt, always appreciate your great guidance,
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: and congratulations on the book, The Honoring of Ignorance.
• 32:05
  Speaker 17: Thank you so much.
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: All right, Matt. God bless you, my friend. The Honoring
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: of Ignorance, The Seven Mirages Destroying America. Get a copy
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: and read it. And Matt's right. We've got to play
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: smart politics. And the marketing, the communications effort coming out
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: of the Republicans this election cycle, it's been all over
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: the place. I will tell you, the best ad, and Dylan,
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: if we can find this ad, it's the David Kustoff
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: ad that's been running on KWAM. David Kustoff, a Republican
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: running for Congress. He has the best campaign ad I
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: have ever seen. This election cycle. And the reason why
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: is because he just lays it all out there. And
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: he tells you exactly what the Republicans have done and
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: why he deserves to go back to Congress. And we're
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: all right. We've got it, Dylan. All right. Let's let's
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: take a listen to this.
• 33:02
  Speaker 21: This election isn't about left versus right anymore. It's about
• 33:06
  Speaker 21: common sense versus out of control. And David Kustoff is
• 33:10
  Speaker 21: fighting for what's right. He helped write tax cuts that
• 33:13
  Speaker 21: let you keep more of what you earned. No tax
• 33:15
  Speaker 21: on tips. No tax on overtime. A bigger child tax
• 33:19
  Speaker 21: credit for your family. David Kustoff is taking on the
• 33:23
  Speaker 21: health insurance companies, forcing them to be honest about your costs,
• 33:27
  Speaker 21: and holding them accountable when they wrongly deny your care.
• 33:30
  Speaker 21: He stands with the police, the deputies, and the National Guard,
• 33:34
  Speaker 21: who cut violent crime in Memphis by more than 30
• 33:37
  Speaker 21: percent and found over 180 missing children. David Kustoff voted
• 33:42
  Speaker 21: to secure our border and crack down on illegal immigration.
• 33:46
  Speaker 21: While Washington liberals keep spending your money, David Kustoff is
• 33:50
  Speaker 21: protecting your paycheck and our values. David Kustoff. Common sense
• 33:55
  Speaker 21: for West Tennessee.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: I'm David Kustoff, and I approve this message.
• 34:00
  Speaker 21: Paid for by Kustoff for Congress.
• 34:02
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: There you go. I mean, it's really simple. And Kustov
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: is giving all of the people in his district, and
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: I'm one of his constituents, giving them a reason to
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: go and vote for him. And well done, Congressman Kustov.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: But I'm telling you, overall, nationally, it is a poop show.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: All right, kind of take a break.
• 34:24
  Speaker 17: 901-260-5926.
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: We'll be right back. All right, just heard from several
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: of our listeners in Mississippi, and the lines, they're saying
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: about an hour long to vote. So well done, all
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: you folks in Mississippi, getting out the vote, and certainly
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: hope that you guys are doing the same thing wherever
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: you might live around the nation. Give us a call
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: and let us know what you're seeing out there. Let's
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: go to Memphis, Tennessee. Andre, listening to us on KWAM. Andre,
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: what's going on?
• 35:07
  Speaker 22: Hey, Todd, how are you today, sir?
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: I'm well, thank you for asking.
• 35:11
  Speaker 22: Okay, but I want to piggyback on your last caller.
• 35:14
  Speaker 22: Don't let the news trick you with this evidence. You know,
• 35:18
  Speaker 22: there's cherry-picking people that are standing with the Democratic Party.
• 35:23
  Speaker 22: There's not any other people that are voting Republican. There's
• 35:26
  Speaker 22: not any other people. I had one of my church
• 35:28
  Speaker 22: members who was a staunch Trump supporter and asked if
• 35:31
  Speaker 22: I'd be voting yet. And you say, oh, no, well,
• 35:34
  Speaker 22: I'm just going to sit this one out. Man, I
• 35:35
  Speaker 22: got in my car, and I drove over there, and
• 35:37
  Speaker 22: I took her to the polls and stuff. Don't let
• 35:40
  Speaker 22: them trick you that this election is already won by
• 35:43
  Speaker 22: the Democrats this time.
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Andre, it's a great word, and it's a great reminder.
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: Don't be fooled by the mainstream media. Your only job
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: is to go out and vote today. It doesn't matter
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: if it's raining. It doesn't matter if thunderstorms. Get out
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: and vote today.
• 36:02
  Speaker 22: If you've got anything about fighting for the church, I
• 36:06
  Speaker 22: believe in my heart that God took his man in
• 36:08
  Speaker 22: this position to bring this church back on the carpet
• 36:11
  Speaker 22: to God. And if you believe that, you need to
• 36:13
  Speaker 22: get out there and vote, because if you don't, they're
• 36:16
  Speaker 22: going to destroy this Constitution. And once we lose this America,
• 36:19
  Speaker 22: there's not another one out there.
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: That's true. That's true, Pastor Andre. This is it. I mean,
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: this is freedom's last stand. So the question is, is
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: the country worth fighting for? And if the answer to
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: that question is yes, then your rear end needs to
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: be standing in line getting ready to vote today. Pastor Andre,
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: thank you for calling in. I want to play this
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: audio from a Michigan voter. She says that she's now
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: voting for Mike Rogers. Cut 19, please.
• 36:49
  Speaker 23: I voted for Mike Rogers. I don't feel like Abdul
• 36:51
  Speaker 23: is ready to be in the Senate. I also am
• 36:54
  Speaker 23: a Jewish member of this community and feel very strongly
• 36:58
  Speaker 23: that he does not support the Jewish community.
• 37:01
  Speaker 21: So you voted for Stevens in the primary, but now
• 37:03
  Speaker 21: you went Republican.
• 37:04
  Speaker 24: Yes.
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: That's a pretty bold message.
• 37:06
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: It is a bold message, and look, I'm feeling more
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: and more confident that Mike Rogers is going to pull
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: out a big win there in Michigan for the Republicans.
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: By the way, a Cook Political Report, also Larry Sabato,
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: saying that the 9th Congressional District in Tennessee, that is
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: the Brent Taylor-Justin Pearson race, Justin Pearson, the DSA candidate,
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: that is now leaning left. That's leaning towards the Democrats.
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: There are some concerns that Democrats are, you know, and again,
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: this was a nationalized race in Tennessee over this redrawn district.
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: And it looks as though there is a lot of
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: pushback and a lot of blowback by very motivated Democrats. So, Republicans,
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: if you are listening to us in Tennessee's 9th congressional district,
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: you need to get out and vote because that, from
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: our understanding, is a very, very close race. And we
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: want to make sure the Republicans can pick up a
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: seat there in Tennessee. We may need that if some
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: of these other House races happen. go south, and you
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: heard from Matt Towery, could be a little dicey on
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: the house side of the table. All right, hang tight, everybody.
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: Hour two coming up, so if you're on hold, don't
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: go anywhere.
• 38:26
  Speaker 15: 901-260-5926.
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: From Memphis, Tennessee, it's Common Sense Conservative Commentary from Todd Starr.
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: That's us, that's right, our love is American. And hello, everybody.
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: Happy Election Day to you. This is Hour 2 of
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Great to have you with us.
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: We have a lot going on and a lot of
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: great guests to get to this hour of the program.
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: Coming up, Steve Gill is going to join us, publisher
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: of TristarDaily.com. Also, a little bit later on, Josh Jones,
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: our chief political strategist, is going to be here. And
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: Harry Hurley and Jeff Katz, part of our radio roundtable discussion.
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: There is a huge, huge, huge controversy in Michigan involving
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: Abdul El-Sayed, who is the Democrat running for office there.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: And in the U.S.
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: Senate race, Mike Rogers getting a lot of support today
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: from Republicans and Democrats, rather. So this is going to
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: be a close race to watch. Looks like Mike Rogers
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: may pull it all out. One of the interesting things
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: about El-Sayed, he was on 60 Minutes, and he said
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: basically that it's okay for men to be in girls'
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: locker rooms. And one of the reasons why is because
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: they're going to find out about naked men on the
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: Internet anyway. Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I want to
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: bring into the conversation Peyton McNabb from Independent Women and
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: a great organization, IndependentWomen.com. Peyton is an ambassador for that
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: great group. Peyton, good to have you with us today.
• 40:44
  Speaker 24: Good to have you. Good to have me on. Thank
• 40:46
  Speaker 24: you so much.
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: So let's get right to this, Peyton. Your reaction to
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: what Abdul El-Sayed said here.
• 40:55
  Speaker 24: I mean, Todd, this has got to be one of
• 40:56
  Speaker 24: the worst answers I've heard on this issue, and I've
• 40:59
  Speaker 24: heard some pretty bad answers. I mean, he's talking about
• 41:03
  Speaker 24: having all of the world's information in your pocket as
• 41:06
  Speaker 24: if that somehow addresses these really real concerns about fairness, safety,
• 41:11
  Speaker 24: and privacy in women's sports. And it's just completely disconnected
• 41:15
  Speaker 24: from what we're actually talking about and to suggest that
• 41:19
  Speaker 24: these issues are somehow... manufactured outrage. I mean, to me
• 41:24
  Speaker 24: personally and so many girls, countless girls who have experienced
• 41:27
  Speaker 24: this personally have lived with the real consequences of this
• 41:31
  Speaker 24: issue and I can promise you that there's nothing manufactured
• 41:35
  Speaker 24: about that, especially my experience. And at some point you
• 41:38
  Speaker 24: have to wonder how out of touch these people really are.
• 41:41
  Speaker 24: Are they just completely ignorant to the fact or are
• 41:44
  Speaker 24: they just ignoring the countless stories that it seems to
• 41:47
  Speaker 24: be every week a new girl suffering from this issue
• 41:50
  Speaker 24: and And ignoring these girls who have raised real concerns
• 41:54
  Speaker 24: about their sports and private spaces. And it's real regardless
• 41:58
  Speaker 24: of the political debate. And I think every girl deserves
• 42:01
  Speaker 24: an actual answer and not a lecture about what's on
• 42:04
  Speaker 24: their phones.
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: You know, it's interesting with El-Sayed because there are not
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: a lot of women connected to his campaign leadership and
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: really the way that he's been treating Haley Stevens. I mean,
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: it's almost bullying, and you wonder if he has a
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: problem with women.
• 42:25
  Speaker 24: I mean, I wouldn't doubt it.
• 42:28
  Speaker 16: I would go back.
• 42:29
  Speaker 24: To asking if he would have these same concerns or
• 42:32
  Speaker 24: go about these things. concerns in the same way if
• 42:35
  Speaker 24: it came down to his family, and I highly doubt that.
• 42:38
  Speaker 24: I mean, his wife isn't even allowed to show her hair,
• 42:41
  Speaker 24: and that's something that she could see very clearly on
• 42:44
  Speaker 24: the internet at any time. So, you know, it's interesting
• 42:48
  Speaker 24: that he can go about it this way, and I
• 42:50
  Speaker 24: think it's very telling, again, how he's treated Haley Stevenson
• 42:54
  Speaker 24: and how he's went about this whole thing, really. It's
• 42:56
  Speaker 24: really eye-opening.
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: Peyton, I do wonder if young ladies in America understand
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: that the Islamists, if they gain control, I mean, all
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: you have to do is look at some of these
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: cities where they are the majority population, and the women especially,
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: all of them have to wear the hijabs. There are,
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: I think, in one town, and we talked about this yesterday,
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: where boys and girls, men and women, are not allowed
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: to be in the same spaces at the same time.
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: I don't know if people understand that they want this
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: for the entire country.
• 43:33
  Speaker 24: Yeah, I think honestly that is such a great point
• 43:37
  Speaker 24: and it's really sad and scary because I don't think
• 43:41
  Speaker 24: they understand and they have been completely lied to with
• 43:45
  Speaker 24: this propaganda that's been pushed that Islam is some sort
• 43:51
  Speaker 24: of love culture when it's literally the opposite of that.
• 43:56
  Speaker 24: It is straight just an evil cult and if that
• 44:00
  Speaker 24: comes into our country it's just going to be nothing
• 44:02
  Speaker 24: but bad and I just really don't think young women
• 44:07
  Speaker 24: in America truly understand. We've grown up with so many
• 44:09
  Speaker 24: freedoms and unfortunately I've taken them, some of us have
• 44:13
  Speaker 24: taken that for granted and we have the freedom to
• 44:17
  Speaker 24: get education and pursue careers and play sports and make
• 44:20
  Speaker 24: decisions about our own lives and I don't think enough
• 44:23
  Speaker 24: of us are realizing that there are countries where women
• 44:26
  Speaker 24: are denied those same freedoms and pretty harshly and that's
• 44:31
  Speaker 24: something that Everyone just needs to start paying more attention
• 44:34
  Speaker 24: to it because it's coming in pretty fast.
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: It is. All right, Peyton, we've got to leave it there. Busy,
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: busy news day. We appreciate your analysis here of the
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: situation involving Abdul El-Sayed. What a crazy story. And again, folks,
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: get more information, Peyton, at independentwomen.com. Is that right?
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
• 44:56
  Speaker 24: Thank you so much. God bless you.
• 44:58
  Speaker 16: All right.
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: God bless. Peyton McNabb doing the Lord's work there for
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: our friends at IndependentWomen.com. All right. Let's go to the
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: phones here. 901-260-5926. Bob in Baltimore listening to us on WCBM. Bob,
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: what's on your mind?
• 45:17
  Speaker 14: Well, Todd, a very serious subject relating to the outcome
• 45:20
  Speaker 14: of this election and beyond, and it has to do
• 45:23
  Speaker 14: with President Trump taking military action against Iran because of
• 45:28
  Speaker 14: what is an extremely grave nuclear threat. And it's something
• 45:34
  Speaker 14: that if we're not prepared, and we can be, but
• 45:37
  Speaker 14: if we're not prepared and you get this fanatical regime
• 45:40
  Speaker 14: to launch what would be a nuclear attack, and it
• 45:44
  Speaker 14: would be what's called a nuclear EMP strike, that's electromagnetic
• 45:49
  Speaker 14: pulse in the upper atmosphere, it would produce radiation. which
• 45:54
  Speaker 14: would devastate our electric grid and all of the communication
• 45:58
  Speaker 14: for businesses, for emergency services, and for us in personal use,
• 46:03
  Speaker 14: and it would be devastating. Scientists have some disagreement, or variation,
• 46:09
  Speaker 14: I'll say, on what the destructive effects would be, but
• 46:15
  Speaker 14: there's also the thought that if three of those strikes
• 46:18
  Speaker 14: were made simultaneously in the upper atmosphere, it would end
• 46:22
  Speaker 14: civilization in this country. We'd be back at the time
• 46:26
  Speaker 14: of our founders with no electricity. It's important for people
• 46:30
  Speaker 14: to see this because what they do see instead, Todd,
• 46:33
  Speaker 14: are the high gas prices. And this type of occurrence
• 46:39
  Speaker 14: occurred in nature back in the 1800s and 1859, not 1959, 1859.
• 46:46
  Speaker 14: when the means of communication then was the telegraph system,
• 46:51
  Speaker 14: and something occurred called the Carrington event, and it was
• 46:54
  Speaker 14: a British astronomer who observed through his telescope solar flares,
• 46:59
  Speaker 14: and they damaged the telegraph system. They melted the contacts
• 47:04
  Speaker 14: on the systems.
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: All right, well, come up for a breath here, Bob.
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: Hang tight, because I've got to get a word in
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: edgewise here. I think this is a concern, and that
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: the EMPs, the disruption of the grid, I think that
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: has been a big concern. There have been conversations about
• 47:29
  Speaker 5: this recently. among some former Trump administration officials who have podcasts.
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: I think Bongino and others are telling people, oh, you've
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: got to buy Prepper stuff or do whatever. And I
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: get that. The reality of it is that Iran, given
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: the opportunity, will attack us. And so My question for
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: the administration is, because they've told us time and time
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: again that they have beaten Iran, they have conquered Iran,
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: and yet the war still rages. So we need a
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: little bit of honesty and transparency when it comes to
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: whatever this war is and why we are fighting this war.
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: And if the president were to come out and say, look,
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: Iran may be developing these EMPs. They launch these things
• 48:17
  Speaker 5: by drones, takes out the grid. You know, we could
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: be without power in some places for months, if not years.
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: And I think the American people would understand that, Bob,
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: but they haven't done that. The administration just hasn't done that.
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: And now you've got a lot of conjecture happening on
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: social media platforms, and that doesn't help anybody.
• 48:36
  Speaker 14: I agree with that, Todd. And yes, they should be
• 48:40
  Speaker 14: more communicative in just the status of that. And Iran
• 48:44
  Speaker 14: has been damaged tremendously in their nuclear capability. But there's
• 48:49
  Speaker 14: also the natural occurrence, and there was again some talk
• 48:53
  Speaker 14: in the first Trump administration about hardening our grid, but
• 48:57
  Speaker 14: I think with the Democrats constantly hounding Trump and attacking him,
• 49:01
  Speaker 14: that talk just disappeared. So it's a concern, and I
• 49:05
  Speaker 14: think as far as our national defense, I would say
• 49:08
  Speaker 14: it's the primary concern. But I appreciate being very much
• 49:12
  Speaker 14: on the air, I think, with people who haven't voted.
• 49:14
  Speaker 14: If they've been concerned about gas prices, I think they
• 49:16
  Speaker 14: need to overlook that and look at the large picture.
• 49:19
  Speaker 14: So let me appreciate very much your show and what
• 49:23
  Speaker 14: you do for all of us in keeping us educated.
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: Bob, God bless you. Look, it's a very real concern
• 49:29
  Speaker 5: you raise, and that needs to be discussed. And, yeah,
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: gas prices are high, but there is a reason for it,
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: and that is one of the reasons. You know, we
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: were talking about this earlier, Dylan, about, God forbid, the–
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: and I've read books on this. And I'm not really–
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: I'm not a prepper, but I am prepared. But I've
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: read a lot of books about what would happen if–
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: and how easy it is just to go after the grid,
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: knock out the grid. I mean, we're talking no electricity.
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: And people think, all right, well, I got the candles.
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: You know, you can survive with candles. You're not going
• 50:06
  Speaker 5: to have internet. The internet's gone.
• 50:08
  Speaker 25: So– I don't think we last like a day or
• 50:12
  Speaker 25: like three, four days. Then everything starts getting really, really bad.
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: Oh, if that, I think 72 hours, boom, we're back
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: in the Stone Age.
• 50:22
  Speaker 25: I mean, you have to think about like grocery stores
• 50:24
  Speaker 25: getting ransacked, like crime, just rampant, no police, no like
• 50:28
  Speaker 25: way for them to communicate, nothing.
• 50:30
  Speaker 5: And you think about this, okay, I can, you know,
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: that's all good. I can stock up on the canned goods.
• 50:34
  Speaker 5: How are you going to cook those canned goods? Well,
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: you're going to build a fire. Where are you going
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: to get the firewood? Uh, what are you going to
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: do after you eat that big old can of Wolf
• 50:45
  Speaker 5: River chili? Where are you going to, where are you
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: going to do your business at?
• 50:48
  Speaker 25: I have a lot of respect for people that truly
• 50:52
  Speaker 25: do prepare for these kinds of situations. You know, they
• 50:54
  Speaker 25: have bunkers and they have the canned goods. I respect
• 50:57
  Speaker 25: those people and they're probably going to last. They're going
• 50:59
  Speaker 25: to live longer than me, but like, yeah. I need
• 51:02
  Speaker 25: to start reading books more and not on my phone.
• 51:04
  Speaker 5: Can you imagine the, we are the most medicated country
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: on the face of the earth. Can you imagine what
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: people would be like when they can't get their meds?
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: And a lot of these people are on like psychiatric drugs.
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: Can you imagine? I mean, you're going to have like
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: zombie type situation going down.
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 51:22
  Speaker 25: There's so many things that we don't think about now.
• 51:25
  Speaker 25: But as soon as we don't have it, that's when
• 51:27
  Speaker 25: we start to panic.
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: Oh, absolutely. For example, we were talking about this yesterday.
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: I have a Ram McNally map. So when the grid
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: goes down and you need direction somewhere, you've got to
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: have a map. And if you don't, you're not going
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: to get there.
• 51:45
  Speaker 25: It's like when someone says, just go north on that road.
• 51:48
  Speaker 25: I'm like, where's north?
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: So that is a concern that something like that could happen.
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: All right, we've got to take a break. 901-260-5926, going
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: right to your phone calls next. All right, welcome back, everybody.
• 52:14
  Speaker 5: Let's go to the phones. Ohio, Nathan is on the line. Hi, Nathan,
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: what's on your mind today?
• 52:21
  Speaker 6: Hey, Todd, thanks for taking my call. I just wanted
• 52:26
  Speaker 6: to actually address what your previous caller just said about
• 52:29
  Speaker 6: the attack on the grid. You know, it would definitely
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: be devastating, would really cripple us, but then again, you know,
• 52:37
  Speaker 6: Not to make light of it, but it could be
• 52:40
  Speaker 6: a slight blessing in disguise, and here's why. You know,
• 52:43
  Speaker 6: with the internet down, CNN and the Democrats can't tell
• 52:47
  Speaker 6: young people how to think, so God forbid young people
• 52:50
  Speaker 6: are going to start having to think on their own.
• 52:52
  Speaker 6: And then Antifa and all these left-leaning groups, these rioters,
• 52:57
  Speaker 6: they're not going to be able to communicate, so they're
• 52:58
  Speaker 6: not going to know where to go. So conservatives may
• 53:01
  Speaker 6: have an advantage with that, because we can get our
• 53:04
  Speaker 6: militias together before Antifa even knows... It's time to put
• 53:08
  Speaker 6: their shoes on and go outside and play.
• 53:10
  Speaker 5: Well, this is an interesting take on it, Nathan. Every
• 53:17
  Speaker 5: now and again, you'll have these conversations on social media,
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: and they're like, okay, if there was another civil war,
• 53:23
  Speaker 5: who would win the civil war? What would that look like?
• 53:26
  Speaker 5: And you have to imagine the South and the Midwest
• 53:29
  Speaker 5: are probably the most armed part of the country right now.
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: So you have to imagine that would give them an edge,
• 53:36
  Speaker 5: I suppose. But to your point, yeah, look, you do
• 53:41
  Speaker 5: wonder which parts of the country would survive if, in fact,
• 53:46
  Speaker 5: the grid went down and you had to kind of
• 53:48
  Speaker 5: start all over again.
• 53:50
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 53:51
  Speaker 26: No, absolutely.
• 53:52
  Speaker 6: But other than that, I'm there with you, being hopeful
• 53:57
  Speaker 6: that things turn out well. I think Democrats... Gain a
• 54:02
  Speaker 6: slight majority in the House, God forbid, but I think
• 54:05
  Speaker 6: we keep the Senate, the Republicans, which gives us another
• 54:09
  Speaker 6: two years. So, Todd, love your show. Thank you.
• 54:11
  Speaker 5: Hey, Nathan, thanks for calling in. Appreciate that. West Jefferson, Ohio.
• 54:15
  Speaker 5: So always good to hear from Ohio folks. Let's go
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: to Willie in Nashville listening to us. Hi, Willie. What's
• 54:23
  Speaker 5: on your mind?
• 54:26
  Speaker 22: Hi, Todd.
• 54:27
  Speaker 7: I totally agree with you about the Republicans messaging they
• 54:31
  Speaker 7: need to do a better job. Was there any better
• 54:33
  Speaker 7: example of Trump the other day when he had a
• 54:37
  Speaker 7: chance to give his, like, final closing statement? And yesterday
• 54:42
  Speaker 7: he goes to the reflecting pool, the one where he
• 54:45
  Speaker 7: hired someone that he knows on a no-bid contract and
• 54:49
  Speaker 7: overpaid tenfold for it. They screwed it up. He claimed
• 54:54
  Speaker 7: there was vandalism, which was a complete lie. complete debacle.
• 54:58
  Speaker 7: He pissed away a lot of money.
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: Okay, well, you can't be using that kind of language there, Willie,
• 55:03
  Speaker 5: on the radio. Let me just say this. Look, I'm
• 55:05
  Speaker 5: not going to... I don't disagree with you. I think
• 55:08
  Speaker 5: it was a debacle, the reflecting pool. I don't know
• 55:12
  Speaker 5: exactly how much money was spent But that being said,
• 55:16
  Speaker 5: it was also vandalized. There's no doubt about that. Regardless,
• 55:20
  Speaker 5: that wasn't the cause of the problems, and they got
• 55:24
  Speaker 5: it fixed. So what do you want me to tell you?
• 55:28
  Speaker 5: Let's go to Sonny Ocala, Florida. W-O-C-A. Sonny, what's on
• 55:34
  Speaker 5: your mind today?
• 55:34
  Speaker 15: Good afternoon, Todd. What's on my mind is if there
• 55:38
  Speaker 15: was an EMP attack, I'm prepared for that. Number one,
• 55:45
  Speaker 15: The electricity goes out. Any houses south of the Mason-Dixon line,
• 55:52
  Speaker 15: a lot of them are all electric. So I have
• 55:56
  Speaker 15: a Coleman cook stove with the extra bottles and everything. Oh, yeah.
• 56:03
  Speaker 15: The other thing I have is like canned beans, canned hash, canned,
• 56:09
  Speaker 15: you know, dinners, raviolis, stuff like that. And I'm prepared
• 56:16
  Speaker 15: that way. And what you do is those emergency blankets,
• 56:20
  Speaker 15: the reflective ones, you open your hood and you put
• 56:23
  Speaker 15: the blanket over your car and try to protect the
• 56:26
  Speaker 15: battery as much as you can in case of an
• 56:30
  Speaker 15: EMP attack. And usually when it starts, you get plenty
• 56:37
  Speaker 15: of warning until the power goes out altogether. But other
• 56:41
  Speaker 15: than that, that's about the only thing I can think
• 56:45
  Speaker 15: to do.
• 56:47
  Speaker 5: Sonny, I think you're prepared, my friend, more so than
• 56:49
  Speaker 5: others out there. I fear for the young people of America.
• 56:53
  Speaker 5: I don't know if they're going to be able to
• 56:55
  Speaker 5: make it. Us old-timers and almost old-timers, I think we
• 56:59
  Speaker 5: can probably get by for at least a couple of months. Sonny,
• 57:02
  Speaker 5: got to leave it there, my friend.
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: 901-260-5926.
• 57:03
  Speaker 5: This is the Todd Stern Show.
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome back, everybody.
• 57:26
  Speaker 5: This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Let's go to
• 57:29
  Speaker 5: the phone lines real quick. Say hello to Paul in
• 57:31
  Speaker 5: Santa Rosa, California. Hi, Paul. What's on your mind today?
• 57:35
  Speaker 16: Do you remember Senator Elizabeth Slotkin from Michigan.
• 57:42
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Alyssa Slotkin from Michigan. Yes, she is the
• 57:46
  Speaker 5: one that was basically wanting to investigate anybody that was
• 57:51
  Speaker 5: working for or was going to work for the Trump administration. Yes,
• 57:55
  Speaker 5: I do remember her.
• 57:57
  Speaker 16: Okay, well, she's over in Poland now. She was just
• 58:00
  Speaker 16: over in Poland trying to overthrow the president of Poland.
• 58:04
  Speaker 16: And while she was there, somebody caught her on video
• 58:08
  Speaker 16: saying that when she's done here, she's going back to
• 58:11
  Speaker 16: the U.S. and in January she's going to overthrow, arrest
• 58:16
  Speaker 16: President Trump in January after the majority in the Senate
• 58:23
  Speaker 16: are Democrats. So she's going to use the majority to
• 58:27
  Speaker 16: arrest Trump and try and remove him from office. That
• 58:32
  Speaker 16: will be on the news tomorrow.
• 58:35
  Speaker 5: Paul, you are correct. She was there. Alyssa Slotkin is
• 58:40
  Speaker 5: the Democrat senator from Michigan, and she was in Poland
• 58:44
  Speaker 5: and Hungary. And, of course, that was a crazy story,
• 58:47
  Speaker 5: the attempted coup there in Poland. But, Paul, I think
• 58:53
  Speaker 5: we have to believe the Democrats here. They want to
• 58:57
  Speaker 5: destroy the America First movement. I mean, that's ultimately their
• 59:00
  Speaker 5: end goal here. That's the end game.
• 59:03
  Speaker 16: Yeah, and they think they're going to arrest Trump in
• 59:08
  Speaker 16: January after the election. polls are counted and the Democrats
• 59:12
  Speaker 16: control the Senate and the House. Then she claims she's
• 59:16
  Speaker 16: part of a group that is going to arrest President Trump.
• 59:19
  Speaker 5: Paul, yeah, you're absolutely right about that. I'm curious, Paul,
• 59:24
  Speaker 5: there was a huge turnout for Steve Hilton last night
• 59:27
  Speaker 5: in Huntington Beach, California. I'm wondering, what are you guys
• 59:32
  Speaker 5: hearing in the early stages of voting there in California today?
• 59:36
  Speaker 16: Well, it goes like this. If elections could change anything,
• 59:41
  Speaker 16: they would be illegal.
• 59:46
  Speaker 5: Paul, you're a clever man, Paul, a clever man. All right, well,
• 59:51
  Speaker 5: hang in there. And, Paul, you give us a holler back.
• 59:54
  Speaker 5: I know you were holding on for a while. Thank
• 59:55
  Speaker 5: you for that. I want to go to our Patriot
• 59:57
  Speaker 5: Mobile Newsmaker line and say hello to our good friend.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 5: He is the publisher of TristarDaily.com. Those of you in Nashville,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 5: you'll be able to watch Steve tonight on Fox 17
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 5: as he handles election coverage. Steve, good to have you
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 5: with us today.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 19: Great to be with you. I love election days because
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 19: it's kind of like that Christmas Eve moment. The presents
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 19: haven't been opened. You know they're there. You're just waiting
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 19: for the moment when all of a sudden wrapping paper
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 19: and everything starts getting tossed in every direction, and we
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 19: know the result. And it's not always socks from your grandmother.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 5: Well, there you go. Steve, I want to jump into this.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 5: I was talking to some Republican insiders who are very
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 5: much in the know. And I think there is some
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 5: concern about Tennessee's 9th congressional district race. The chair of
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 5: the Tennessee Republican Party says it is going to probably
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 5: be a long night counting the votes in the 9th district.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 5: That's the one where State Senator Brent Taylor and Justin
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 5: Pearson are going at it. I'm wondering what you are hearing.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 19: You know, first of all, it is shameful that we
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 19: have the delays that we see in our counting process
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 19: after elections in the U.S., where it takes days, in
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 19: some cases weeks, in places like California. But it should
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 19: be almost instantaneous. You have foreign countries, other countries, where
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 19: they cast paper ballots and they count millions and millions
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 19: and millions of ballots in just a few short hours.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 19: And we seem incapable, even with our technology, even with
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 19: our backup systems of of doing that relatively easy and
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 19: important process. I do think it's going to be closer
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 19: than it should have been. I think that Brent Taylor
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 19: would have some difficulties if he was not running against
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 19: such a horrible out-of-step candidate as Justin Pearson in that race.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 19: I still think he prevails by three or four points,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 19: but it's a plus 10, plus 12 district, so it
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 19: should be a pretty easy race. But I think that
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 19: there are a variety of reasons. I think the Democrats
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 19: have been more enthusiastic, certainly in Memphis, than you've seen
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 19: the rural voters across the rest of that district, and
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 19: that's closing the gap. And I think, again, there is
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 19: Trump fatigue in America, and Trump voters don't turn out
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 19: when he's not on the ballot, and he's not on
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 19: the ballot. I know he's made the pitch that his
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 19: policies are on the ballot, but he is not. And finally,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 19: I think that Republicans have not made their case effectively,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 19: and it's not just in this district, but around the country.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 19: But there's work to be done. President Trump passed a big,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 19: beautiful bill that cut taxes on tips and overtime and.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 8: Seniors, but it didn't do it all.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 19: And I don't think they've made the case that there
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 19: is more to be done, and Democrats who 100% voted
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 19: against those tax cuts have promised to increase them if
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 19: they get back in. And I just don't think Republicans
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 19: have made their case very effectively on the economy, on affordability,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 19: on cash prices, and tariffs or anything else.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 5: I'm wondering nationwide as you're looking out at the landscape,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 5: what are some key areas that we need to be
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 5: paying attention to as the polls start to close later
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 5: this evening?
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 19: The races I'm going to watch very carefully are South Carolina.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 19: That should be an easy win. We shouldn't have President
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 19: Trump having to go to South Carolina. Republicans pour money
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 19: and effort there. It's a deep, deep red state. Darlene Graham,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 19: Lindsey Graham's sister, is a horrible candidate. She was the
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 19: wrong pick. She has put that seat at risk because
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 19: they decided to play the Lindsey Graham game, decided to
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 19: pick somebody out of sympathy rather than who's best situated
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 19: to serve in the Senate. There's nothing in her track record,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 19: in my view, that makes her a strong candidate to
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 19: be a leader of just 100 senators in the entire U.S.,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 19: other than she changed her last name to her brother's name.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 22: When she got selected.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 19: I'll be watching Michigan very carefully. I do think that
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 19: Mike Rogers defeats Abdul Al-Said. The rush of Democrats endorsing
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 19: him crossing party lines to do that has been a
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 19: good sign. I'll be watching Michelle Tafoya in Minnesota. Can
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 19: we pick up a win there that would be a
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 19: huge gain? Obviously, Susan Collins in Maine, if she wins,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 19: that helps us hold the line. And then I'm concerned
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 19: about Kansas, where Marshall there has, you know, stepped in
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 19: dog doo-doo in his campaign by coming out and admitting that, yeah,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 19: he sued his patients as a doctor, which has created
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 19: a late burst for Democrats. And I'll be watching Kansas
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 19: to see again if that cost us a seat that
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 19: should have been an easy win.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the Kansas situation is really troubling Republicans there. And, Marshall,
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 5: there just seems to be a disconnect there. My understanding
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 5: is he didn't even have campaign staff. He was using
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 5: his Senate team, and they were trying to work around
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 5: the rules there. It's a weird story. But Adam Hamilton
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 5: is the Methodist megachurch preacher who shares a lot of
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 5: the same bizarre religious beliefs that James Telefrico has down
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 5: in Texas. I did think it was interesting. I wanted
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 5: to circle back one quick second back to that Tennessee race, Steve,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 5: where last night Larry Sabato and the Cook Political Report
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 5: had that district now leaning left, talking about the 9th
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 5: Congressional District. I'm just wondering. And I don't think the
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 5: sex scandal has much play here, as does the fact
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 5: that you've got the activist community riled up, and this
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 5: is their march on Washington because of the redistricting.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 19: Yeah, I think the Memphis base that is catering to
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 19: Justin Pearson has been very excited, and you've had black
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 19: pastors in Memphis promoting his campaign from their pulpit, while
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 19: at the same time You know, we've had white pastors
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 19: and white conservative churches around the country afraid to even say,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 19: go vote. So I think that is a factor. And
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 19: I think in the rural community across that district, there
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 19: are people that are hurting economically. Again, if you live
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 19: in rural communities, you know, gas prices affect you more.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 19: You have to drive further. Diesel prices affect the farmers. Tariffs, short-term,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 19: I think long-term, we're on the right track, but short-term,
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 19: we're they affect those rural agriculture districts pretty dramatically. So
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 19: I think that that lethargy, that Trump fatigue, that same
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 19: level of excitement that you've got from the Democrats in
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 19: the Memphis area, it does make that a closer race.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 19: I don't think that it's close enough that I would
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 19: put it into the lean left category. I think that
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 19: it may be a toss-up, but I think that at
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 19: the end of the day, it has enough Republican votes Again,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 19: if turnout is there today, and that's the case all
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 19: over the country, turnout is the key.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 15: And as you and I have.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 19: Talked before, 17 million Christian evangelicals stay home every election season.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 19: We are the margin of victory in every race. And
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 19: when we stay home instead of voting, we've got no
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 19: right to complain about boys and girls' locker rooms, boys
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 19: and girls' sports, abortion unfettered to the moment of birth.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 19: It's on us if we stay home.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 5: Well said, Steve. I mean, and that's it. I'm curious
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 5: to get your take on DeSantis. He's out there doing
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 5: a podcast interview with Stephen A. Smith yesterday. And here's
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 5: what DeSantis had to say about Republicans, cut 22.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: Some of these Republicans are saying, oh, well, the gas,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: don't worry. You know, it's not a big deal. Like
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: they're trying to blame Biden.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 24: No, no, no.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: Listen, we just got to be honest. Gas is higher.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: It hurts people, working class people. And it's higher because
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: of this conflict. That's just a fact. If you can't
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: admit that to voters, then you're gaslighting them and they're
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: not going to listen to you on other things.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 5: You know, Steve, we've been in this business a long time.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 5: Usually those conversations are had after. after the election, not before.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 5: I'm curious, what do you make of what DeSantis is
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 5: doing here?
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 19: I think he's being honest, and I think he's being accurate. Today, apparently,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 19: we laid some more missiles and bombs on Iran. I
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 19: think everybody expected that to happen tomorrow and maybe Thursday
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 19: or Friday. Why today, unless they had some intel that
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 19: Iran was getting ready to launch some preemptive strikes against
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 19: their neighbors to do some things to try and further
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 19: hit gas prices on election day. So I'm not sure
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 19: why that kinetic attack occurred today. But as you and
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 19: I have talked before, the economic impact on Iran has
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 19: brought them to their knees. But we should have done
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 19: that three months ago. We should have hit them harder militarily.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 19: Three months ago, we would be seeing the result today.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 19: And I think it's too little too late. And whether
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 19: it's diesel prices, gas prices, as you and I've talked
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 19: again before, I can't tell you right now exactly what
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 19: a loaf of bread costs or what a gallon of
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 19: milk costs. But everybody knows to a penny exactly what
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 19: gas costs because it's a commodity, and there's a big
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 19: sign on every street corner telling you to the penny
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 19: exactly what it costs at any given moment. And a
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 19: lot of places, it's come below.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 16: That $ 4.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 19: Mark in just the last few days, which is a
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 19: good sign. But again, half the votes are already in
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 19: with early voting, so it doesn't help much.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 5: By the way, speaking of that, Anna Navarro on The
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 5: View yesterday posting a video that's kind of gone viral.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 5: complaining about the fact that a gallon of ground beef
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 5: now costs more than $ 6. I didn't know. I'd always
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 5: been buying it by the pound. I didn't know we
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 5: were supposed to buy it by the gallon, Steve Gill.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 19: You know, the Democrats have a very perverse, disconnected language.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 19: I've listened to all these Democrats around the country who
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 19: are promoting socialized medicine and the need for Medicare for all.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 15: Excuse me, guys.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 19: Medicare is for seniors. What you're talking about is Medicaid
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 19: for all, which is for the lower-income folks. And again,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 19: we can look at how bad Canada's health care and
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 19: other socialized medical systems are. They can't even call it
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 19: by the right name. Medicaid versus Medicare. They can't even
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 19: distinguish the policies.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 16: We already have in place.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great point. All right, Steve, we're going
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 5: to leave it there. TristarDaily.com. And, of course, you'll be
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 5: on Fox 17 tonight doing the big TV.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 19: We'll be posting where people can watch and listen. We'll
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 19: be doing a streaming from 6 to 9 p.m. Central,
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 19: probably on until 10, and it'll be on Fox 17's
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 19: YouTube channel. And I'll post, if they'll go to Steve
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 19: Gill on Facebook, I'll post and make it clear where
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 19: they can check in and see what we.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 8: Have to say.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 5: All right, great stuff, Steve. Always appreciate a great analysis.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 5: We're going to check in with you tomorrow as well
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 5: to get a rundown of what exactly happened today. Thanks
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 5: a lot, my friend.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 9: Thanks, my friend.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 5: Good guy right there, Steve Gill, on the Patriot Mobile
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 5: Newsmaker line. Real quick, let's– you know what? We're going
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 5: to take a break. Then we're going to the phones.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 5: We have Roberto in Memphis, Tommy in Georgia, 901-260-5926. This
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 5: is the Todd Stern Show. All right, and we do
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 5: have some breaking news to share with you. Let's check
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 5: in with the breaking news.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: Breaking news now on the Todd Starnes Show.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 5: All right, we have gotten reports of shenanigans already. This
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 5: happening in, of all places, Memphis, Tennessee. And we just
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 5: got confirmation from the Tennessee Secretary of State's office that
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 5: that a number of high school students were allowed to
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 5: vote early before the polls actually opened. This is a
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 5: complete violation of Tennessee law, but apparently the students were
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 5: transported by buses to the polling location before the polls opened.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 5: The Secretary of State says that they believe they've been
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 5: told that 26 students were allowed to vote early. That
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 5: is a violation of the law, and they are taking
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 5: this very seriously. They're also trying to figure out which
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 5: districts those students voted in. So a little disturbing situation
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 5: there also. And we're going to have this up on
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 5: toddstarns.com in just a matter of moments. In Minnesota, a
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 5: poll worker there under fire for wearing a t-shirt that
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 5: mocked the assassination of Charlie Kirk. And the shirt appeared
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 5: to be covered in red blood. So yeah, that's a problem.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 5: So we're going to keep you updated. And if you
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 5: hear of any campaign shenanigans, we want you to let
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 5: us know about that. Let's go to Roberto in Memphis, Tennessee,
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 5: listening to us on KWAM. Roberto, what's on your mind?
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 27: Todd, I just want to talk about a couple things
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 27: real quick. The grid goes down, eventually the water stops.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 27: Municipal water systems use electric pumps to maintain pressure. They
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 27: do have backup diesel pumps that can only run a
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 27: few days. So no water is a big problem, especially
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 27: potable water. But I also want to talk about the
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 27: highest gas price ever in America was in June of
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 27: 2022 under Joe Biden. Did the media make such a
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 27: big deal about it?
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 5: No, not at all.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 27: And did they talk about it in the midterm elections
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 27: that came later a few months after that?
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 5: No, they did not.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 26: Imagine what, and that was, there was no war to blame.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 20: That was only.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 27: Policy drove that price because COVID was long over. So
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 27: imagine what gas prices would be If Harris was president,
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 27: even without a wall, I think it'd be $ 5 a gallon.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 27: And briefly, I'm going to go on so you can
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 27: get to other callers. I want to talk about Justin Pearson,
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 27: who in a speech quoted two different people, one that
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 27: said Jesus was gay, another that said Jesus was a
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 27: black woman. He agreed that both of them were right.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 20: Well, at least one was right.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 27: He did not say the other one.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 26: If you go online.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 27: They say he didn't say that. They tried to separate
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 27: him from that. But if you watch the speech clearly,
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 27: or really it's a sermon, he clearly agrees.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 16: That Jesus is a gay and a black woman.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 27: And if you're a Christian, how can you vote for
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 27: anybody that would spout such blasphemy?
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 5: Well, Roberto, it's a great point, and also we've pulled
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 5: those videos where he himself prayed in two separate churches
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 5: to Mother God. So he really does have this religious
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 5: affiliation to James Tallarico down in Texas and Adam Hamilton
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 5: in Kansas. I mean, these are radical, radical leftists, and
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 5: the religion they practice is not the religion that most
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 5: Americans practice.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 11: They're Marxists.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 5: They're Marxists.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 27: They want to start our country over again in the
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 27: image they think is correct because they think it's rotten
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 27: to the core. But that's just an excuse to grab
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 27: power like Marxists always do. But remember when the highest
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 27: gas price ever was and why.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 5: Roberto, well said, sir. Got to run. Computer's going to
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 5: cut us off. Great call. 901-260-5926, our telephone number. This
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 5: is the Todd Stern Show.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: From Memphis, Tennessee. On the banks of the mighty Mississippi.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: It's America's conservative blowtorch.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 3: That's us. That's right. Our love is American.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 5: It is Todd Starnes, ladies and gentlemen, your voice of
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 5: truth and hope and, well, doggone it, common sense. Hope
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 5: you're doing well, everybody, wherever you might be across the
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 5: fruited plain on this election day. And it is truly a...
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 5: A consequential election for the future of the republic. Hope
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 5: you are out there voting. You need to do that today.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 5: You need to grab somebody you know, preferably a republican,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 5: and take them with you. Because we need all the
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 5: votes we can get. By the way, we now have
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 5: that story I was talking about in the last hour
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 5: of the program. Crazy story out of Hennepin County, Minnesota,
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 5: where a poll worker is wearing a t-shirt that And
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 5: that T-shirt is mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk. And
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 5: this woman working the polls, not in the biblical sense
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 5: of the term, but she's working at the polls. And
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 5: I would encourage you to go to our website, ToddStearns.com.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 5: That's courtesy of the great reporting of Alpha News. All right,
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 5: I want to go to our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker lines
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 5: right now, say hello to our good friends from WRVA,
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 5: our great affiliate in Richmond, Virginia, Jeff Katz joining us,
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 5: and Harry Hurley from our great radio station, which honestly
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 5: should be an affiliate, WPG in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Harry,
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 5: didn't mean to put you on the spot there. Guys,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 5: hope you're doing well.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 8: Hey, Tom.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 19: I'm doing great, yep.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 9: Yes, indeed. Good to hear these voices. These are great
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 9: Americans on this doing. Yeah, and another thing, Hurley, so
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 9: where is Starnes on the lineup? Let's get on that,
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 9: will we?
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 27: Please.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 6: Check.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 13: It's on the list.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 5: Harry, I'm not coming to your rescue on that one.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 13: I can handle it.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 5: All right, guys, there's a lot to talk about. And, Harry,
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 5: I want to start with you. In New Jersey, first
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 5: of all, how are things going in the Garden State?
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 5: And what's the scuttlebutt?
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 13: Some say the turnout is light. Some say the turnout
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 13: is better than it was in 2022. We will know
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 13: soon enough. But I think one of the big stories
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 13: in New Jersey is there are only three Republicans in
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 13: the House of Representatives that are Republicans from New Jersey.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 13: I would say not that many years ago, Republicans were
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 13: the majority of the delegation. After today, that number is
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 13: likely to go down by at least one. So it's
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 13: not going to be a great day. in New Jersey.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 13: The early voting pretty much dominated by Democrats. That would
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 13: be your mail-in and your early in-person voting. It does
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 13: not look like a great year for Republicans. I remember
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 13: one year ago, Mikey Sherrill shocked the world in what
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 13: everyone thought was going to be a very close election,
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 13: by beating Jack Cittarelli by almost 600,000 votes. So New
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 13: Jersey is turning bluer, it seems.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 5: Jeff Kantz, what about there in the Commonwealth?
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 14: Wow.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 9: I wish I could lift everybody's spirits after what Harry said,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 9: but it's a tough day. In Virginia as well, our
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 9: congressional delegation has been split six to five, and the
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 9: Democrats here tried to force through what was determined to
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 9: be an unconstitutional legal gerrymandering. They were trying to steal
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 9: all these seats and make it nine to two. Well,
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 9: the problem is with early voting that we've seen so far,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 9: about a million, three million, four have already voted in,
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 9: just like in New Jersey, heavily Democrat areas. The Democrats
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 9: may very well pick up a couple of congressional seats,
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 9: and there are a couple of congressional seats here that
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 9: ought not be competitive, and they are unbelievably competitive today.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 14: All right.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 5: Jeff Katz, Harry Hurley, thanks for joining us, guys. Way
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 5: to cheer us all up here, fellas. Well, in Tennessee,
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 5: we're doing very well, and I think we're going to
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 5: have a good day for Republicans here. That being said,
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 5: you know, we are a super red state. And I wonder, Harry,
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 5: and Jeff, I'd love for you to weigh in on
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 5: this as well. Is there something that is really affecting
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 5: the Republican turnout in New Jersey and also in Virginia, Harry?
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 13: I think it's Democrat enthusiasm coupled with hatred of President Trump.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 13: They're just so motivated to come out and vote and
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 13: to make a statement and to hold every Republican accountable.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 13: accountable for President Trump. It's a very bad atmosphere. It's incredible.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 13: For example, had Jack Chiarelli run one year earlier, he
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 13: would be governor for four years. One year later, the atmosphere,
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 13: completely different. Until two years ago, Republicans were making gains,
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 13: and we were talking about the Republicans being in the
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 13: majority in the Senate, being in the majority in the
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 13: General Assembly, and then ever since that, it has just
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 13: swung way, way left.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 5: Jeff, what's your take on that?
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 9: Yeah, here in Virginia, there is something comparable to that,
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 9: and even the timelines are very, very similar. There is
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 9: a contempt that many in Virginia, Democrats, have for President Trump,
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 9: and it is a visceral, visceral hatred of of the man.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 9: And when you press, even in a very gentle, nice way, hey, well,
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 9: what is it that he's doing that you don't like?
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 19: There's no response. There's nothing reason. There's nothing like, well,
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 19: I don't like policy A as opposed to policy B.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 7: They just hate him.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 9: There's a real contempt for him. Here in Virginia, in
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 9: addition to that, we had a million and a half
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 9: Trump voters stay home during our last gubernatorial election, also
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 9: a year ago, same time Mikey Sherrill was elected up
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 9: in New Jersey, Abigail Spanberger was elected here in Virginia.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 9: And if you look at the margins, had the Trump
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 9: voters come out, Abigail Spanberger would not.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 7: Be the governor.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 9: But a million and a half Trump voters in Virginia said, well,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 9: he's not on the ballot, I don't care, I'm not
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 9: going to bother voting. And I got to tell you guys,
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 9: that has been The messaging that so many of us
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 9: here in Virginia have tried to share with people for
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 9: the last year or so is, hey, you hate what's
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 9: happening to the state. You see what happens when you
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 9: stay home. Get off your rotund rear ends and go
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 9: out and vote. And I know he's not on the ballot,
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 9: but God, didn't he say in Dallas a couple of
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 9: months ago, hey, vote like I'm on the ballot because
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 9: the next two years will be the proverbial crap show
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 9: where it's nothing but impeachment. Nothing gets done. and we're
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 9: all going to be the worst off, in my opinion.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 13: Todd, can I pick up on that?
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, go ahead, Harry.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 13: Jeff is exactly right, and here's what happens. You don't
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 13: get any of the benefit of President Trump, but you
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 13: get the entire downside of President Trump, and what a
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 13: double whammy that is.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 5: Harry Hurley and Jeff Kantz joining us on our Patriot
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 5: Mobile Newsmaker line. Harry, as we look really across the nation...
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's hard to tell, but right now it
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 5: looks like Republicans are doing well in Michigan. That could
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 5: be a pickup for us there. I'm wondering where you
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 5: guys are going to be watching tonight. What are some
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 5: of those key races? And then, Jeff, jump in after Harry.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 13: Well, let's go to South Carolina because they don't poll
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 13: often in South Carolina, which lets the Democrat media have
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 13: a lot of time to play mischief and say that
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 13: that is closer than it is. Darlene Graham will win.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 13: I know there are some Republicans that don't care for her,
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 13: but let's look at the math. We've got to have
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 13: her win. Let's take a peek at that. She'll be fine.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 13: She will win. That will be a hold. Annie Andrews
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 13: goes down. The DSA agenda will not fly in South Carolina.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 13: Look at Texas. Can Paxton pull it out? Is it
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 13: really going to happen? Is Talafrico really going to win this?
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 13: in texas i just refused to believe that so i'm
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 13: hoping that the hold you brought up michigan how in
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 13: the world even though michigan is crazy how could they
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 13: even consider abdul el sayed this guy is completely objectionable
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 13: in so many ways so mike rogers i i say
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 13: right now if mike rogers wins darling graham wins and
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 13: then the other that i mentioned in texas uh... paxton
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 13: holds then republicans will keep the senate Those three, just
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 13: those three, will paint the picture of how the night
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 13: is going to go.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 9: Great, great insight, as per usual, from Harry. I am
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 9: focused on a couple of local races, like I said,
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 9: with two members of Congress that happen to be great
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 9: personal friends and should not be in the situation they're in.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 9: And the Democrats are feeling so emboldened, even here in
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 9: this small part of Virginia where I live, Hanover County,
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 9: which is probably... amongst the most Republican areas. They have
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 9: fielded a, quote, independent candidate to run for sheriff. I mean,
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 9: they're really just going all out in their mission here.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 9: I will be looking at what I presume will be
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 9: the future promised land for the Katz family, and that's Florida,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 9: where I think there will be some great victories, as
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 9: there should be. And the problem is that The more
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 9: that the Florida gets right, the more bad people from
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 9: New Jersey and Virginia move down there and screw it
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 9: all up.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 13: By the way, the Democrat media, which I now refer
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 13: to as Democrats with press passes, they're completely out of control.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 13: I'm going to be watching Alaska. I despise ranked choice voting.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 13: I despise it. I despise this decoy damn thing. And
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 13: the guy then takes off and we don't even know
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 13: where he is. It is disgusting. It is disgraceful. And
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 13: I would love to see Dan S. Sullivan hold that,
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 13: Dan J. Sullivan hold a prison cell, and that will
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 13: be a great one to see go the right way
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 13: as well. He must be concerned. Why would you leave
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 13: if you're an enthusiastic candidate? You leave the country, maybe, even.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 13: He's definitely part unknown on Election Day. That's pretty weird.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 13: So I don't like what they're doing there. And my congressman,
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 13: Jeff Andrew, the betting markets are actually saying right this second,
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 13: I looked, 53-47% that Van Drew holds. There's no way
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 13: it should be that close with his record. But again,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 13: that big scene in the Oval Office where my dear friend,
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 13: Congressman Van Drew, switched to become a Republican, Democrats would
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 13: love to take him down, and they will not. He
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 13: will win tonight.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 5: Well, guys, let me just say from Tennessee's vantage point,
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 5: we're watching. I think the more interesting race for us
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 5: is the gubernatorial race. Senator Marsha Blackburn is leaving the Senate.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 5: You know, she just got reelected, but she wants to
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 5: be governor. And we've got a Democrat. And look, it's
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 5: a super red state. But here's the problem. We've got
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 5: a Rick Jackson-style self-made millionaire who's running as an independent.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 5: His name is David Hatley. He's spent $ 12 million of
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 5: his own money. And the challenge is he's peeling away
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 5: votes from Blackburn. from disgruntled, I would say, America First crowd.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 5: And if he can do it, he could pull, right
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 5: now the internals are polling about 12 or 14 percent,
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 5: he could pull enough votes away from Marsha that the
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 5: Democrat could actually win, which is, I mean, that's going
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 5: to be an unprecedented thing if that happens. But we're
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 5: going to be watching that big race tonight. I just
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 5: think there are a lot of very angry, disenfranchised Republicans.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 5: They see that the people they elected did not deliver
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 5: on the promises, and they have stymied the president's agenda.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 5: And I certainly hope we're not having to pay for
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 5: that tonight.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 13: You know, I interviewed Marsha Blackburn, not long ago, probably
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 13: in the last four weeks, maybe even sooner than that.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 13: And I saw that dirty trick going, and that's not
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 13: a new trick. Jeff will remember this. Todd Starnes will
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 13: remember this. I know you have great listeners that will
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 13: remember this. In the Commonwealth of Virginia, a little over
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 13: 30 years ago, my friend Ollie North would have won,
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 13: should have won, a six-year term, but they did a
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 13: dirty deal. They ran Marshall Coleman, who was a mayor
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 13: that a lot of people knew in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 13: He peeled the exact number that Todd Starnes just mentioned,
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 13: and Chuck Robb got another six-year term. Dirty, dirty tricks.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 5: And Jeff, we all remember what happened back in the
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 5: 1990s when Ross Perot ran. Had Ross Perot not been
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 5: in that race, George H.W. Bush, in spite of Read
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 5: My Lips, would have at least been enjoying a second
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 5: term in office, and the interns would have been safe
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 5: at the Oval Office.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 9: You're exactly right, and it's just a reminder that these
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 9: folks have absolutely no shame. There's no shame. They will
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 9: do anything and everything to either grab power or hold
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 9: on to power.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 15: It's ugly.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 9: It's just really, really depraved.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 13: Is there a chance for one last thing?
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we've got about 45 seconds, Harry.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 13: Real quick, I want to keep an eye on the
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 13: New York Times. and these last-ditch polls that they put
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 13: out at the very end that I believe are voter
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 13: suppression polls. There is no way that Al-Sayed is winning
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 13: by 11 points over Mike Rogers in Michigan. They say
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 13: he is, and I don't have time to go through
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 13: the other six, but they say all seven are going
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 13: to the Democrats. They will be totally discredited after tonight
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 13: is my hope and dream.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 5: And there's no way Texas elects a vegan to the Senate.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, that's just come on.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 5: Harry, Jeff Katz, Harry Hurley, guys, I always love hearing
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 5: from you all, and you have great radio shows and
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 5: great radio stations, and appreciate you spending some time with
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 5: us today.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 13: Always a pleasure.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 5: Good men right there, ladies and gentlemen. Harry Hurley, Jeff Katz,
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 5: known them for a long time. We're going to take
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 5: a quick break.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 26: 901-260-5926.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 5: This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, let's go
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 5: to Tallahassee, Florida. Nate is on the line. Hi, Nate.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 5: What's going on?
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 20: Hey, Todd.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 26: And while the rest of the nation is voting today,
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 26: I can safely say I feel confident about Florida staying
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 26: red with Byron Donald on the ballot.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, wow. How about that? Absolutely. And your current governor,
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 5: he is fired up today.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 26: Yes, sir, and I called specifically to talk about what's
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 26: going on in Michigan. Did you see that Hakeem Jeffries
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 26: threatened a fellow congresswoman last night about that election?
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 5: Now, that I was not aware of. What's going on there?
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 26: I could not find the article to find her name,
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 26: but a Democrat congresswoman in Michigan endorsed Mike Rogers, and
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 26: Hakeem Jeffries last night went on the record saying, we
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 26: will deal with her after the midterm and when very
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 26: public and threatening to kick her out.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 5: Well, no, I'm not terribly surprised by that. Look, the Democrats,
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 5: it's their way or the highway, and they've made very
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 5: clear they expect all of their women on the Democrat
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 5: side of the aisle to bow down and wear the burqa.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 26: They accuse Trump of being anti-democratic and everything, but look
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 26: what they're doing. Look what they're doing in Alaska.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 16: They're cheating.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 26: And they know they're losing in these races, and they'll
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 26: do whatever it takes to win.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it is a great, great point you raised, Nate.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 5: I'm curious, what are you hearing about turnout in Florida today?
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 26: I got a friend who's working the poll station, and
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 26: she said it was going to be very busy today,
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 26: and she's in Lee County, which is in southern Florida.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 26: I'm in Wakulla County, just south of Leon County. There's
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 26: been massive voter turnout here, a lot of Byron Donald signs,
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 26: a lot more than Democrat signs, I can say that.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 5: Well, Florida should be good tonight. I think your next
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 5: governor is going to be Byron Donald, and I don't
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 5: think we're going to have too many surprises coming out
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 5: of the Sunshine State. Nate, thank you for calling in,
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 5: and thank you for that update. Let's see if we
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 5: can sneak in Ken in Houston, listening to us on
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 5: Patriot Talk 920. Hi, Ken, what's on your mind?
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 4: Hey, Todd, good to hear from you again. There's two things. One,
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 4: you mentioned a little bit ago or somewhere on the
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 4: radio that somewhere the voting machines were down. They're telling people,
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 4: go ahead and drop your votes in this orange bag
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 4: and we'll guarantee they'll be put in the machine when
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 4: they come up. How coincidental those machines are not working
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 4: after they work for the early voting they worked. So
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 4: is there going to be some kind of watchdog system
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 4: put in effect to make sure those votes are, in fact,
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 4: put in the machines after the voting is closed?
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 5: Ken, it's a great question. I know that about 1,000
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 5: election observers have been dispatched from the Justice Department, and
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 5: they're in all 50 states, including in Texas. So if
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 5: there is a question or an issue there, I have
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 5: to imagine... They're going to be all over that at
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 5: the Justice Department. Ken, I've got to run, my friend.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 5: Thank you for that. Our telephone lines are open. What
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 5: is it like out there, folks, if you've been voting?
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 5: What are you seeing?
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: 901-260-5926.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 5: That's 901-260-5926. We'll be right back. All right, let's go
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 5: to the phone lines here and say hello to Black
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 5: Conservative calling in from Cordova, Tennessee. Hi, Black Conservative.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 20: I am the most erudite mind, brilliant thinker, and political philosopher.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 20: Good afternoon. How are you today?
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 5: Well, I am blessed and I am enriched by your presence,
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 5: Black Conservative.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 20: Well, I am a man of much good learning, and
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 20: these people tend to forget what happened two years ago
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 20: under the administration, the Biden administration, who tanked the economy,
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 20: was totally train wrecked, grocery up 27%, 30%, gas prices doubling,
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 20: eggs just as high as the mountains. You know, they
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 20: tend to forget what happened two years ago, you know,
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 20: That's the difference between an elephant and a donkey. You know,
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 20: all these folks acting like donkeys, whining and complaining about
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 20: the economy, oh, the gas is hot, yada, yada. We
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 20: have a thriving economy. It's being driven by consumer spending.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 20: The data centers are bringing in revenue into the economy,
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 20: billions of dollars in federal and local government taxes. The
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 20: data centers are doing what they're supposed to do, and
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 20: it's supporting millions of jobs. We tend to forget what
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 20: happened two years ago and why we voted for President Trump.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 20: But now everybody's panicking now.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 16: Oh, we, we, we, we.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 20: They're shaking. I'm a conservative, independent conservative. I'm not shaking
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 20: at all. I'm going to go and vote for an
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 20: American agenda for President Trump, for Republicans, to continue to
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 20: get the economy back on track because Democrats tank the economy.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 20: So I understand why Democrats are going to vote for
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 20: their party members, but I don't understand why an independent
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 20: or conservative would turn on Republicans and put these people
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 20: back in power. What are you people smoking? Go ahead, Todd.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah. No, black conservative. Thank you for that. I think
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 5: you're absolutely right. And this is this has been a
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 5: big problem with the country. They don't have long term memory.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 5: They don't remember how bad it was or how high
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 5: those prices were. And I get it. The prices came down.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 5: They went back up. And there's a reason for that.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 5: And and I'm not I'm not diminishing anybody's rage right
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 5: now at the Republican Party. but we can't be stupid.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 5: And no matter how bad the Republicans are, they can't
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 5: be worse than the communists.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 20: Well, absolutely. Well, let me clarify the difference between an
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 20: elephant and a donkey. An elephant never forgets what they
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 20: say or what they've done in the past. A donkey
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 20: tends to forget what they've said and done in the past,
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 20: and they come back again and say the same thing,
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 20: what they said before that did not work. But my
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 20: point is.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 20: I want to encourage the mega-movement, conservatives. We get out
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 20: and vote, do what we need to do. Don't be
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 20: discouraged by the news media, and especially don't be discouraged
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 20: by the late-night shows, Saturday Night Live, what they call it,
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 20: whatever they call it. It's just one big 365-year commercial
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 20: run for the Democrat Party. when he always had these
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 20: little skits about Republicans and Nicki Minaj and others. It's
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 20: just a bunch of madness.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 20: Thanks for taking my call, and that's exactly what I
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 20: want to say. Let's not forget what happened two years ago.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 5: Black conservative, always good hearing from you, my friend.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 20: Thank you, sir. I approve this message.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 5: All right, let's go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 5: White conservative Josh Jones joins us.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 19: Hey, Don.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 8: How are you?
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 5: I'm doing well. I hope you have an erudite mind
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 5: as well, Josh. Oh, my Lord. Josh, all right, tell
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 5: us where you're at. By the way, Josh Jones, our
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 5: chief political strategist here on the show, he's the smartest
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 5: guy we have on staff here. Josh, where are you
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 5: right now?
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 19: Well, I quite literally, as of 10 minutes ago, just
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 19: landed in San Antonio, Texas. I'm still at the airport.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 19: I just got down to San Antonio, Texas. We're going
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 19: to put some credits down here. So we're going to
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 19: be helping them out this evening as the poll results
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 19: come in. So we're on the front lines down in
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 19: Texas today.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 5: Well, this is good to hear. I'm wondering how things
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 5: are going for your candidates down there. What are you
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 5: hearing about turnout? Give us any intel you can.
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 19: Yeah, look, I mean, we're a couple hours into voting
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 19: at this point, obviously. Texas is the central time zone,
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 19: or at least the part that I'm in. So we're
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 19: now behind the East Coast. But look, voters are showing up. Democrats, Republicans,
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 19: and Independents alike. It's just a matter of who's going
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 19: to get that ahead, dude, because right now it's pretty
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 19: neck and neck. Obviously, the trope is that Republicans show
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 19: up after they get off work at 5 and vote
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 19: in the evening. And there's a merit to that. So, look,
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 19: So far, we have no reason to be in panic mode.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 19: We're keeping our nose down and finishing strong these last
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 19: couple hours.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 5: Josh Jones on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Josh, the
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 5: polling data, if you believe the New York Times, if
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 5: you believe Nate Silver, it's going to be a blue tsunami.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 5: Are you sensing anything like that in Texas? Because we're
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 5: certainly not in Tennessee.
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 22: Right.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 15: I mean, Texas.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 19: you have a couple different races going on here. Obviously,
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 19: you have the governor's race with Governor Abbott, and I
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 19: think he'll be just fine. The Senate race is where, obviously,
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 19: all eyes are going to be, because, you know, regardless of,
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 19: you know, my personal opinions or others, you know, Kim
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 19: Paxton has more baggage than Greg Abbott does. And that's
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 19: kind of what the test is going to be, this,
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 19: you know.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 16: How much our.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 19: Republicans, particularly those Niagara Republicans, willing to show up and
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 19: vote for Ken Paxton to advance the Trump agenda, or
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 19: are they going to jump ship or not show up
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 19: at all?
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 5: By the way, President Trump, this shows you how serious
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 5: things are, Josh. The president has reactivated his X-Feed, and
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 5: he is churning out endorsements. I mean, it's insane the
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 5: number of endorsements that are coming out.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 8: I saw that.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 19: Yeah, that's how you know it's election day.
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely. And you folks in Tennessee, President Trump just
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 5: endorsed Marsha Blackburn. So sorry for all you folks who
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 5: may have early voted, but I think you knew who
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 5: to vote for anyway. You know, Josh, I'm curious here,
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 5: and I just want you to put on your prognosticator.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 5: I don't want you to put on a prognosticator cap,
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 5: but I do want you to, let's just pretend for
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 5: a moment that the Republicans voted do not do well tonight,
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 5: and it's the worst scenario. Who's to blame for that?
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 5: What do you think would be the reason why Republicans
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 5: don't win tonight?
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 19: Look, I mean, there's no one person to lay the
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 19: blame at the feet of. There'll be an autopsy, and
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 19: we'll figure out what went wrong. But I think a
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 19: lot of voters, particularly those that pushed us over the
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 19: edge in 2024 to win the presidential in both chambers
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 19: of Congress, All of the campaign promises that they felt
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 19: were important to them didn't come to fruition. A lot
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 19: of these younger, more isolationist Republicans voted for the Republicans
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 19: because of no new wars, and then now we're in
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 19: a new war in the Middle East. Regardless of whether
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 19: you think that's justified or not, they didn't think they
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 19: were voting for that. So I think that's partially the
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 19: blame of the war. And then also, too, that's called
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 19: a great point. It's easy to forget two years ago
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 19: how bad things were under Biden. And prices came down
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 19: for a bit, but they did go back up because
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 19: of this war in the Middle East. So I think
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 19: most voters who maybe tune in a couple months leading
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 19: up to the election, they go, wait a second, I
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 19: voted for lower prices, and now they're back up again.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 9: What went wrong?
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 19: And I think that will be a driving factor for people.
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 5: Josh, I'm wondering, you're a young guy, you're Gen Z,
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 5: but you're smart as a whip, and that's why you're
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 5: here on this show. You're just so good at your
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 5: job and your analysis of things. And I'm wondering, as
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 5: a young person especially, I know President Trump put out
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 5: a message earlier today directed at your generation, telling them
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 5: to get out and vote. What is it that you
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 5: are hearing from people your age when you're out at
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 5: the clubs or you're out at a party or whatever?
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 5: What are you hearing from people your age?
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 19: Yeah, look, I mean, young people, conservatives and Democrats alike,
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 19: The main thing that I hear from folks is affordability.
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 19: I mean, and when I say affordability, I'm really talking
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 19: about the American dream because, you know, the American dream is,
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 19: you know, you grow up, you get a good education,
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 19: you buy a house, you have a good career, you
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 19: have a family, and then, you know, have kids and
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 19: go on from there. And for a lot of people,
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 19: that feels really out of reach right now. Even people,
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 19: I know good students that went into the workforce, they've
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 19: been in the workforce for a couple years now, And
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 19: they make, you know, decent jobs. So they have decent jobs.
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 19: But it's just still too far out of reach to
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 19: know that she's got an American dream. And I think
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 19: that is the issue for the younger generation. I mean, obviously,
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 19: there's a mix of, you know, other issues in there
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 19: as well. But I mean, that is the essence and
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 19: the core of what it is.
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 5: Josh, look, I know you're going to be we're going
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 5: to have you back on tomorrow to kind of do
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 5: a post-op here. And I know we're going to get
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 5: a lot of our other folks back on as well.
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 5: I know you've got a busy, busy day ahead of
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 5: you in Texas. Be safe out there. I'm assuming you
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 5: have a cowboy hat. You got the cowboy boots, spurs,
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 5: the whole nine yards, the whole getup.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 19: I got the boots. No hat, but I do.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 5: Have the boots. Hey, there you go.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 5: Your mom says to post photos. I'm just passing that along.
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 5: So do with that with what you will.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 26: All right.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 5: Josh Jones, the most erudite mind that we know. Good
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 5: to hear from you, my friend. All right, Josh is gone.
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 5: I guess he's galloping out of it. Dylan, have you
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 5: voted yet? I haven't asked that. You've got to vote.
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 25: I am going to vote, Todd, after your show ends.
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 25: I will leave here. I will leave work.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 5: Okay, you better have that sticker. Or you're going to
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 5: the corner tomorrow.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 15: Okay.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 25: I will bring my sticker to work.
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I want to see the sticker. What about Helen?
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 5: Has Helen voted?
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 25: Helen's voted. She's better than me.
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 5: Oh, she was early voting.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 25: Yeah, I'm bad at early voting. I'm really bad. I'm
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 25: good at on-time voting.
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 5: Man, okay. Well, you know the storms are coming, so
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 5: you've got to get out there before the... I have
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 5: a raincoat.
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 25: I'll be fine.
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 5: The wind blows.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 25: If it blows down the voting station, maybe I'll have
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 25: to reconsider, but then Lord, I'll let you know.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 5: Trump is literally posting hundreds of endorsements right now. This
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 5: is insane. So well done though.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 13: Everybody.
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 5: All right. Our telephone number, ladies and gentlemen, 901-260-5926. This

  Speaker 5: supply of Z-Stack, and I'm so excited. I keep thinking
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 5: back to the early days of the pandemic, 2020. The
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 5: media narrative was absolute, right? People suggesting early alternatives. They
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 5: were silenced and deplatformed, like the late Dr. Zev Zelenko.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 5: And he was at the center of the controversy with
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 5: Z-Stack and the Zelenko Protocol. faced immense criticism for sharing
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 5: his approach. But President Trump later cited Dr. Z during
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 5: a press briefing, which I saw that at the time,
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 5: and it was really incredible. I mean, Dr. Zelenko carefully
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 5: selecting ingredients, doses based on his research, and today his
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 5: legacy lives on through the original Z-Stack formula. Z-Stack provides

• 1:47:52
  Speaker 5: want to play some audio. This is from Stephen Miller,
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 5: and I think he's really done a terrific job here,
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 5: giving all of you, every single American patriot listening to
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 5: this program, marching orders. for the next few hours. Take
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 5: a listen to Cut18, please.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 28: President Trump, since he came down that golden escalator, has
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 28: saved America. He saved America from a corrupt political class.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 28: He saved America from open borders. He saved America from
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 28: countries that want the American way of life to end,
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 28: from foreign adversaries, from domestic adversaries. President Trump took a
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 28: bullet for you. He bled for you. He faced life
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 28: in prison for you. And what he needs from you
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 28: tomorrow is your vote. Your vote to keep producing American energy.
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 28: Your vote to keep our borders secure. Your vote to
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 28: keep crime, violent crime and murder at all-time record lows.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 28: Your vote to keep men out of women's sports. To
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 28: keep DEI out of our universities. To keep your taxes low.
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 28: No tax on tips. No tax on Social Security. No
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 28: tax on overtime. To keep our military stronger than it's
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 28: ever been before. To keep the American dream alive for
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 28: you and your children. That is up against a party.
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 28: You gave the perfect comparison. Haley Stevens versus Assam Piker.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 28: The Democrat Party has said they don't want moderates, they
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 28: don't want centrists like Haley Stevens. They do want extremists, pro-jihad, America-hating,
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 28: 9-11-supporting monsters like Assam Piker. Do not force your children
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 28: to grow up in a country ruled and governed by
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 28: people like Assam Piker who literally celebrate the murder of
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 28: of innocent americans that is not who we are as
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 28: a country that is never who we can become president
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 28: trump loves america he loves this nation and he delivered
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 28: more for us in two years than any president has
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 28: in four or eight.
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 5: Years sure has sure has what a great closing argument
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 5: for these midterm elections And this president has done a
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 5: remarkable job, and we've got to keep that up. We've
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 5: got to keep the pressure on the Republicans in Congress
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 5: to do the right thing and get the rest of
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 5: the president's agenda across the finish line. But I want
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 5: you to understand something. Any of you out there that
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 5: are maybe like, you know, I just don't think I
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 5: don't want to go.
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no.
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 5: You can't do that. You have a responsibility. If you
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 5: are a Christian, if you are a gun owner, If
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 5: you are a hunter, you need to stop what you're
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 5: doing right now, and you need to go, and you
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 5: need to vote. Every single vote matters. Ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 5: I love our country. I love what I do here,
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 5: and I take my job very seriously. And I know
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 5: there are people out there and they've been moaning and
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 5: groaning and they've been, you know, doom, despair, agony on me.
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's just, you know, it's enough. And that
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 5: hasn't been us. We've been very positive and very forward
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 5: thinking about all of this. And we know where, look,
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 5: if you stay home, we're going to lose. If you
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 5: get out to vote, we're going to win. I mean,
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 5: it really is that simple. And we're going to be
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 5: able to sort all this other stuff out. I have
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 5: no doubt about that. But right now, we've got to
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 5: stop a clear and present danger to the republic. And
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 5: you've got an opportunity to do that. But more importantly,
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 5: I would like to think, on top of everything else,
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 5: that we've got to take care of our president. You know,
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 5: this man put his life on the line. You heard

  Speaker 5: Stephen Miller. Took a bullet for us. President Trump, a
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 5: long time ago, said the reason they're so rough on him,
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 5: the reason why they're coming after him is because He's
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 5: standing between us and the mob. And that's true. There's
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 5: a lot of truth to that. And I don't know
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 5: about you, but I'm thankful for that. And I don't
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 5: think there are a lot of politicians out there who
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 5: would do what Trump has done. So I want you
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 5: to remember all of that as you get out there
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 5: and think about your kids. What kind of a country
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 5: do you want your kids to grow up in? All
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 5: of that is on the line today. All of it
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 5: truly is a consequential election. So look, we're going to
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 5: be covering all of this on our digital platforms tonight.
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 5: We're going to keep you updated and informed. And folks,
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 5: tomorrow we're going to come back and we're either going
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 5: to be celebrating tomorrow or we're going to talk about
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 5: the work we've got to do to save this country
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 5: from the socialists. Either way, we're going to have a
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 5: great time. We're going to be here together. I'm not
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 5: going anywhere. And we're going to have a great day tomorrow, regardless.
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 5: All right, folks, that's going to wrap it up. Get
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 5: out and vote, vote, vote. And may I just say,
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 5: God bless America. It really is a great place to live.
