  Speaker 1: Well, live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: It's America's favorite gun, total Bible clinging, deplorable American.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: That's us, that's American. Todd starts well, day.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: All right, well, hello everybody, welcome to the Todd Stearns
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Radio Program. What an honor to have you with us,
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: wherever you might be, bordered a border, coast to coast,
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: across the Fruited Plain. Wow, we have a big show
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: for you today. Of course primary It's primary day in
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: four states and we have the big runoff in South
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Carolina where there's a pretty contentious race for governor there.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: We'll check in with Josh Jones, our chief Republican strategist,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: coming up in just a little while. Also James Tallerico
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: new new audio servicing. You know, this guy loves to
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: talk and it's the gift that keeps on giving for
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: the Republicans. Tallarico now says that he hates Christianity and
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: he also is complaining about his whiteness. So we'll get
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: into all of that. We've got the exclusive audio. We
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: will be playing that for you a little bit later
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: on today. By the way, our telephone number I want
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: you to write this down nine oh one two six
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one two
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: six zero five to nine two six. Now there is
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: there's some interesting audio. I want to start. We're going
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: to start with something a little different. I wanted to
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: do the whole pond scum folks and the creature from
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: the Black Lagoon. We're going to get to that in
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: just a moment, but I want to start with something
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: that that had has been bothering me of late. And
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: we are in the throes of Gay Pride Month, right,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: and it's interesting, ladies and gentlemen. And I think that
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: when you step back and when you look at what's
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: been happening in this particular Gay Pride Month has been
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know that it's been overly overly gay. I
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: think it's just been overly weird and overly perverse. Right.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: It's not as if there are more things happening. As
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: a matter of fact. I mean, if you listen to,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: for example, Tony Perkins and a lot of the other
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: folks out there in the religious liberty world, that the
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: gay pride, the whole gay pride thing is sort of fading.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: The colors of the rainbow are are fading. I mean,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: that's what they're telling us, and that may be the case,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: but it seems as though the celebrations are getting more
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: profane and perverse. Just the other day, there was a
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: new scandal involving the oh who was it? It was
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: one of these I think it was gross point and
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: which is an appropriate name for what was happening, because
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: apparently a rather large drag queen, a guy dressed in
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: a lady's clothes was spreading his legs and exposing his
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: crunch to the children. Parents did not seem to mind
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: one bit about all of that. It's just all very
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know, weird and gross and sick and disgusting.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: So anyway, I say all that to a point in
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: your direction. A story at Todd Sturge dot com, and
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: this information came to us last night. I wanted to
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: make sure we got the story up in time for
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: today's program, and I would encourage you to go to
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Todd Starns dot com and check out our story. It's
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: called California lawmaker says Christians cannot claim the rainbow, and
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen, it just seems to me, based upon
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: what this lawmaker His name, by the way, is California
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: State Senator Scott Weiener. And Wiener is running for the
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: US Congress. He's going to be replacing Nancy Pelosi in
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: the San Francisco area. And yes, yes, I do find
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: it somewhat ironic that San Francisco will be represented by
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: a Wiener in Congress. I mean, it's who would have thought.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: But that's a conversation for another day. The fact of
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: the matter is this guy's going to win. So this
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: guy is going to go to Congress. He'll be packing
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: up his buttless leather chaps and his other paraphernalia. And
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: you've seen it all. We've shared the photos with you.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: The guy is like a weirdo, a weirdo, a PERV.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: So anyway, Wiener is out there, and he is he
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: is in really a mood. He's very upset because Major
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: League Baseball has now backed away from punishing the three
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: San Francisco Giants players who wrote Bible verses on their
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: ball caps, and the Major League Baseball is they understand
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: what's going on. The blowback here was so severe that
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Major League Baseball had absolutely no choice but to step
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: in and say, oop, see, we made a mistake. We
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: made a mistake. Yes, they did make a mistake, a
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: grievous mistake, and they were hearing it from everybody, not
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: so much the Protestants as much as they were the Catholics.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: So anyway, Wiener is very upset because he wanted those
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: guys punished, and he said that anybody who writes any
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: kind of a Bible verse on their Pride hat is
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: defacing the hat and also committing a homophobia. Now, what
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: I find interesting here is the Major League Baseball still
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: trying to have it both ways, and they're saying, well, look,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: you know, we were never really going to punish the players,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: but you can't. You know, you cannot write or deface
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: anything on your uniforms. Well that's not true, and we
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: know that because the players normally do not wear Pride attire.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: So this was a special carve out for the LGBT community,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: and we'll get to more of that in just a moment.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: So anyway, Wiener is still very upset about all of this. No, Helen, No, no,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: I don't want to. I don't want to say he's
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: butt heart. That's a that's an inappropriate term for this
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: particular conversation. But that's a good thought, though he is
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: butt heard over this. And so anyway, the players referenced
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Genesis nine eleven through fifteen, and we've been through this before.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is the Bible passage about God promise
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: to Noah that he would never destroy the earth with
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: a flood again, and the rainbow was a sign of that.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: So anyway, Ken Haam, the founder of Anxious Answers and
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Genesis weighed in all of this. And what's interesting is
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: that Wiener is now saying that Christians no longer can
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: claim ownership of the rainbow. So Scott Wiener says, the rainbow,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: and I'm going to read this to you. We're not
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: going to let them talking about the Christians. We're not
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: going to let the Christians hijack the Bible to take
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: back the rainbow. The rainbow is about pride, it's about
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: our beautiful LGBTQ community, and it's about San Francisco beauty
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: and joy. Let me tell you something, folks, if you've
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: been in San Francisco on a gay pride parade, there's
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: a lot of pale flesh butler's leather chaps wandering around.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Not a pretty scene. But Wiener is now declaring that
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: the gay people of America have conquered Christianity and therefore
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: they now claim ownership of the rainbow. And I'm curious
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: to hear your thoughts on that now, kN Ham, I
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: want to get back to him. He's the guy that
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: founded answers in Genesis. And many of you have been
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: to the Ark encounter in what Kentucky. And here's what
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Kim Hannon had to say about all of this. The
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: LGBT movement can arbitrarily determine that six colors, which they
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: call a rainbow, are a symbol of their unbiblical movement.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: In doing this, they think they've hijacked the rainbow for
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: their immoral cause, but they can never change the fact
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: that the true meaning of the rainbow was given to
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: us forty three hundred years ago by the one who
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: created the universe and thus owns everything, including the rain
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: So ken Ham's point is, you know the rainbow and
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: belong to the gay people. It belongs to Almighty God
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: because God created it. So anyway, this is where we
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: are right now. And Scott Weener truly believes and by
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: the way, he doubled down after Major League Baseball backed away,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: he said about Josh Holly, the Senator who wrote the
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: letter that prompted all of this, that Josh Holly cannot
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: process that Major League Baseball uniformly enforces its rules and
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: it does not have a homophobia exemption to its uniform
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: debasement ban defacement ban, so he makes things up. So,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Scott Weiener believes that all of you Christians, and especially
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: you Christian baseball players, you must either pledge allegiance and
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: devotion to the LGBT agenda or you just have to
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: find another line of work. So, and gentlemen, I just
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: posed this question to you because clearly this is becoming
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: an issue now where many companies around the nation are
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: not satisfied with just celebrating pride. They're demanding that you
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: celebrate pride. But here's what gets me. What does it
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: say about the United States of America that we spend
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: an entire month celebrating the LGBT agenda, an entire month,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: but we only spend one day honoring our veterans, We
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: only spend one day memorializing those who put on the
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: uniform of this country and sacrificed their lives so that
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: all of us may be free. What does that tell
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: us about our culture and about who we are, that
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: we only celebrate our veterans one day, one day out
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: of the year, but we spend an entire month celebrating
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: pan sexuals and two spirit yahoos who do unmentionable things
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: with trees and other things. Our telephone number nine oh
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: one two six zero five nine two six. That's nine
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Maybe we need to Maybe we need to revisit Veterans
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Day and Memorial Day. Maybe we need to extend that
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: particular holiday so we can honor and we can we
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: can respect the men and women who are fighting to
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: keep us all free. So again, our telephone number, nine
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six. That's
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Curious to hear thoughts on that this is the Todd
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Sterns Show.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: Hey, guys, quick, heads up, this is actually a big one.
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: We're saying goodbye to something that's helped thousands of families
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: over the years. The Patriot Power Generator, one of the
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: best selling solar generators of twenty twenty five, is officially
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: being retired. And the reason they've just released something even
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: better it's called called the Patriot Power Generator two two
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: zero zero X and this is their most powerful model yet.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: It's built for real life situations, storms, outages, emergencies when
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: you need power the most. To launch it, they're doing
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: something pretty crazy right now. You can get five hundred
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: dollars off the generator. Plus they're including two free solar panels,
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: so you can double your charging power right out of
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: the box. They're also throwing in a heavy duty roll
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: in go kart, an extended three year warranty, and if
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: you're a senior or a veteran, you can save an
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: additional two hundred dollars. And here's the part that really
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: stands out, because they offer a payment plan. You can
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: get started today for just two hundred and ninety nine
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: dollars and its ships as soon as tomorrow. But this
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: is a limited launch offer. It's first come, first served,
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: and these kinds of deals don't stick around, especially with
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: how unpredictable power outages have been lately. So if you've
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: ever thought about having backup power for your home, now's
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: the time to do it. Stay safe, stay prepared, and
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: don't wait until the lights go out. Go to Starnesprepper
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: dot Com right now to take advantage of this limited
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: time offer.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome back everybody. This is the Todd Sterns
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Radio Show. We have got a lot of ground to
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: cover today, but let's go to the phone lines nine
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six Nelson
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: in Georgia listening to us today. Hi Nelson, what's on
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: your mind?
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: Hey Todd?
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: Just love, love your show. Listen to it every day.
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: You remind me so much mister rushlamb Boss not even
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: fun you listen to him for over thirty something years.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Wow wow, Well, thank you, sir.
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: I appreciate that Russia any You remind me a lot
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: of him, and he's just anyway. The reason my call
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: is I am in a bangelist. I have been for
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: about thirty years now. And these poor people that are
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: running around in this god forsaken the community that they're
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: living in, the old beat you and all that stuff.
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: They've never apparently they've never read the Bible. They've never
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: read the Old Testament. You know, in the Old Testament,
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: they call these people dogs and they kept them around
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: to entertain flaw and dignitaries. You don't believe that resherts
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: the Old Testament scriptures and you'll find it it's an
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: abomination against God. And they can run around and preach
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: and you know, demand everything that they're demanding, but one
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: day they're going to stand in front of a living God.
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: And you know, when you're judged according to the Bible,
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: you're not able to say one word, but you're going
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: to hear and see everything that you've ever done wrong
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: in your life. And it's so tragic. I mean, I've
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: seen people that died and you know they went hell
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: because expression on their face. And I seen people that
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: died like my mother when she went to heaven, it's
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: a smile.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Well, Nelson, let me let me let me ask you
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: a question. I mean, you're you're an evangelist, and again
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: I I'm a constitutionalist. I believe that the Constitution affords
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: you the right to live your life the way you
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: see fit. Now I may not necessarily agree with that,
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: but that's how our constitution was formed. For example, if
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: if you want to be an atheist, I don't get that,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: but okay, you've got the right to be an atheist
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: and we're not going to persecute you because of your
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: religious or your non religiously, if you're a member of
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: the if you're if you're gay or lesbian, and that's
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: how you want to live your life. That's between you
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: and God. That is not up to me. But where
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: I draw the line, I draw two lines. No soon.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: Number one, it involves the children, and you cannot You
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: cannot bring that stuff around the kids. And that goes
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: for straight people too. You need to be bringing your
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: sex into bauchery around a bunch of preschoolers. But the
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: other part of that is when you force me to
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: accept and celebrate what you do. That's where I draw
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: the line.
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: Amen, I agree with you one hundred percent. You know
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: what people decide to do. I believe in our constitution.
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: I believe in the have a word that's written in
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: Our forefathers were brilliant people. I believe they were all
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: God fearing people. But it's just like you just said, Todd,
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: this is a country where you have the right to
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: believe in anything you want to believe in. But when
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: you get to the point where you're harming young children
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: or harming anyone with your acts, that should not be acceptable.
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: Like drag queens, you know, being involved in grammar schools.
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: You know, my granddaughter told me something the other day.
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: She's ten years old, and they were talking about the
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: only thing they live in. They live into Kuma, Georgia,
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: and the only thing that they teach about politics, and
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: there's who is Barack Obama and Obiden. They will not
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: mention Donald Trump's names. Not allowed to be spoken in
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: the classroom.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: I am not surprised by that at all.
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and then that's wrong because you know, when I
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: went to school, I'll be seventy years old in August.
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: When I went to school, we learned about all presidents.
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: I studied American.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: History, Nelson and again, I you know, I think back
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: to my high school years and my junior high years.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: I was that was in the in the mid eighties,
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: and I don't remember. I cannot tell you what the
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: political affiliations of any of my teachers are. I just
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: I to this day, I could not tell you whether
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: they were a Republican or Democrat. And I respected that
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: because I think there was a line that was not
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: crossed people. You know, the teachers back in the seventies
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: and the eighties, and I would say even into the
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: nineties were busy teaching. You know, kids, how to read,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: how to do math, how to I don't know, dissect
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: a you know, a pig or a frog. I mean,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: that's basically what what school was about. It was not
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: about indoctrination. And that's and by the way, we've got
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: some polling data coming out a shocking number of Democrats
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: hate America. And the reason why they hate America is
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: because predominantly of what they've been taught in these public
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: school classrooms. So Nelson, thank you for the call, and
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: thank you for the great work you're doing as an
• 18:32

• 18:44
  Speaker 3: me in trouble with a lot of folks out there,

  Speaker 3: to live your life. But do not force me to
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: accept or celebrate that decision. And by the way, and

• 20:51
  Speaker 3: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: five nine two six. Interesting report out of CNN on
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: voters who are very proud to be an American, got
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: number thirteen.
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: Please again, fifty six percent overall have an extremely very
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: very much proud of the country. It's twenty nine percent
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: among Democrats. It's ninety percent among Republicans. Look at that
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: staggering gap between the parties. Look at it on the
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: other end here only a little or not proud at all.
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: It's thirty six percent among Democrats. That number among Democrats,
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: it's higher on the low end there than it is
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: on the extremely proud, and it's only three percent for Republicans,
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: So a massive partisan divide on that question of being
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: proud to be an American.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: So I'm just curious, ladies and gentlemen, why is that?
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Why is it that that Democrats do not do not
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: like our country, they are not proud of our country. Well,
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: let's go to the phone lines here. Nine oh one
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six, Greensboro, North Carolina.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Kyler listening to us on WSJS. Hi, Kyler, what's on
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: your mind today?
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: Hey, sir, I just want to call in because I've
• 22:01
  Speaker 9: heard your radio station a few times over over the days,
• 22:05
  Speaker 9: and I just want to give a different perspective if
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: you don't mind, no, not at all.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: So why is it that Democrats, in your estimation, are
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: just not proud to be American?
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: I think it could be a lot of reasons. I
• 22:19
  Speaker 9: think a lot of Americans are currently struggling. I think
• 22:22
  Speaker 9: everyone can agree with that. Financially, a lot of people
• 22:25
  Speaker 9: are struggling. I believe it's upwards of sixty or seventy
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: percent of Americans don't have five hundred dollars in a
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: savings account. And you can chop that up to personal finance.
• 22:38
  Speaker 9: You can chop that up to independent faults. But when
• 22:41
  Speaker 9: you look at the overall picture, seventy percent, that's not
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: an individual statistics. Seventy percent of people in this country
• 22:48
  Speaker 9: can't be failing, right.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: So where are you getting Where are you getting that
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: number seventy percent?
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: If from the most recent data that I've heard. Again,
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: I'm on my lunch break, so I don't have the
• 23:04
  Speaker 9: no that's website or the links off the top of
• 23:06
  Speaker 9: my head. So I apologize.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: No, the reason I had heard there there have been
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: some studies done Kyler, and I don't mean it rupt,
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: but I want to clarify this. But the number was
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: not seventy percent. Was more like forty percent. Nearly forty
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: percent have less than five hundred dollars in cash savings
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: on hand to cover some sort of an emergency, which
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: is still a pretty high number, but it's it's certainly
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: not seventy percent. But I wanted to let's qualify that.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: But go ahead and finish your thought.
• 23:35
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I appreciate that, Thank you. Yeah, and by all
• 23:38
  Speaker 9: means yeah, there's something that you hear that you might
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: have seen differently. I appreciate that, and so I wanted
• 23:44
  Speaker 9: to go ahead. Two And I'm twenty five, so I
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: was born two thousand, right before nine to eleven. All
• 23:51
  Speaker 9: of that stuff happened, and so my generation, the earliest
• 23:54
  Speaker 9: years we can remember, is growing up under this new
• 23:58
  Speaker 9: world after nine to eleven, right, and you had the
• 24:02
  Speaker 9: eight crash, and then you had some recovery after that.
• 24:06
  Speaker 9: Obviously things didn't get better, but you had a little
• 24:08
  Speaker 9: bit Our economy picked up, and then up into the
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: late twenty tens. As I turned eighteen, Trump comes into
• 24:16
  Speaker 9: presidency and then we have the pandemic, and that's another
• 24:19
  Speaker 9: really big recession. And you see all of these recessions
• 24:25
  Speaker 9: start to come one after another, and wage growth doesn't increase.
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: All of these things don't increase, but you see the
• 24:34
  Speaker 9: stock market increases. But a lot of majority of Americans
• 24:37
  Speaker 9: don't hold a large amount in the stock market. So
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: that's a lot of that's going to shareholders, a lot
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: of that's going to the wealthier Americans and to the
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: people that are struggling. And so when you look at that,
• 24:51
  Speaker 9: and then you combine that our tax dollars are going
• 24:54
  Speaker 9: for overseas to wars that we don't want a fund.
• 24:58
  Speaker 9: We're being told that we need to to bomb. I
• 25:01
  Speaker 9: ran into oblivion and things like that. I mean, heck,
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: if you took all of the money we have just
• 25:06
  Speaker 9: spent on the war, and I ran everything that we
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: our government says we can't afford, and you took all
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: that money that we just put into bombing people into
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: all of the programs that would make people's lives better,
• 25:18
  Speaker 9: we would be fine.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: So I'm not going to disagree with you on some
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: of that. And I want you've said a lot, and
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: I want to try to break it down and respect
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: your lunch break. So let's jump into this. First of all,
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: on the issue of the recessions, I am not going
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: to disagree with you, except on this one issue. There
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: have only been two official recessions since two thousand and eight.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: One was, of course, the collapse in two thousand and eight,
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: which was known as the Great Recession, and the other
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: was the China virus recession. So that is accurate. There's
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: a big difference between what happens on Wall Street. And
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: I put this that every time we have somebody call
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: in and say Wall Street is booming, the economy is great, Well,
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: not everybody's invested in Wall Street as a matter of fact,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: a majority of Americans are not invested in Wall Street.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: So you have what's happening on Wall Street, but you
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: also have what's happening on Main Street, and people are suffering. Kyler,
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: There's no doubt about that. And I think there are
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: a lot of factors here. But one of the big
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: challenges for young people is inflation. And that actually started
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: under the previous administration. It was getting under control, and
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: then we've got the war in Iran. Inflation ticks back up,
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: prices start going back up again. Gas prices, while they're high,
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: are not nearly as high as they were under the
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Biden administration. But Kyler, that doesn't mean a hill of
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: beans to anybody who is still struggling to figure out
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: how to pay for, you know, a quarter tank of
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: gas or a half a tank of gas. So I
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: get that, I gets So what do you think what
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: is the what is the answer here?
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: Well?
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: I think overall and I think a majority of Americans
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: honestly would agree on this, and we are put we
• 27:12
  Speaker 9: are divided between culture issues, We're divided among things like
• 27:17
  Speaker 9: immigration and trans people. And trans people only make up
• 27:22
  Speaker 9: abouto point one percent two point three percent of the population.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know about that. I mean, if you listen
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: to Hollywood, they make up ninety percent.
• 27:30
  Speaker 9: Right and again, but just like you said, Wall Street's
• 27:33
  Speaker 9: not the real world, and neither is Hollywood, right.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Right, But they control the media, and they control the
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: national narrative. And when you tie in with organizations like
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: the Human Rights Campaign, you have a very teeny tiny
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: demographic of the population that has a massive amount of control.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: But again, do you think.
• 27:54
  Speaker 10: That that do you affect your life?
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm about to I'm about to answer that question
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: for you. Why do why do we need, for example,
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: drag queens going into preschools and spreading their crotches in
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: front of the children. What educational value is there in
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: that happening?
• 28:15
  Speaker 9: So I think that conservatives love to create these no patheticals.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: No, it's tyler, It's not a hypothetical. There are videos
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: all over social media right now, all over social.
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: Media of drag queens going in and showing their genitalia.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Showing their crotches. Yes, why are you spreading your legs
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: in front of children that are four and five years old?
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Why are you forcing children four and five years old
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: to participate in gay pride? Parades. Why is that? What
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: is the educational value of a four year old doing that?
• 28:48
  Speaker 9: So I I let me flip this background.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: No, there is no flipping. There is there is no
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: educational value. But again, I want to circle back. You see,
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: you're getting off the reservation, bring us back in. You
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: said that one of the reasons why Americans or Democrats
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: are not proud to be an American is because of
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: the economy. Well, the Democrats are the ones that put
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: us in this position with the economy, and President Trump's
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: trying to get us out started.
• 29:17
  Speaker 9: Back in the seventies. We love going back to the
• 29:20
  Speaker 9: previous administration, the previous administration, the previous administration, the previous administration.
• 29:25
  Speaker 9: This has been an ongoing fight against this is this
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: is a class struggle, firm and this is what the
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: older generation doesn't understand. This is a class struggle. This
• 29:34
  Speaker 9: is between working class people and the ruling class people,
• 29:38
  Speaker 9: the corporations, the people that own the capital, the capitalists.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: That is what this is, the people who own the capitalists.
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: At this ever since the Great Depression, in which FDR
• 29:51
  Speaker 9: said he saved capitalism in his obituary, he said he
• 29:55
  Speaker 9: saved capitalism by passing the Green New Deal and all
• 29:58
  Speaker 9: of these socialist reforms that brought money back.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: That was the New Deal. AOC was the Green New Deal.
• 30:03
  Speaker 9: Yeah that's akay, Yeah, the New Deal.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: Doesn't know how to operate up at garbage disposal, but
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: go ahead.
• 30:09
  Speaker 11: Sure.
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: And so when he passed all these things, it was
• 30:13
  Speaker 9: record breaking tax breaks for the working class.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: Democrat, by the way.
• 30:16
  Speaker 9: Funded federally funded programs. Democrats did that for people.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: What about LBJ? Another Democrat who enslaved generations of black
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Americans to the government. Teat, what about what about LBJ?
• 30:33
  Speaker 9: Hey, democrats are racist?
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: Sir?
• 30:35
  Speaker 9: I am.
• 30:35
  Speaker 11: I do not.
• 30:36
  Speaker 9: I'm not democrat. I'm not democrats or so I I think.
• 30:39
  Speaker 9: I think democrats and Republicans are awful.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: And so what are you are? What are if you're
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: not a Democrat, you're not a Republican? What are you?
• 30:49
  Speaker 9: I'm a lestist?
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: Okay? So all right, So who do you? Who did
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: you vote for in the last election?
• 30:55
  Speaker 9: Who did I vote for? I unfortunately had to vote
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: for vote for Kamala a Democrat. Didn't want to, but
• 31:03
  Speaker 9: you voted?
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: But what about all right? All right, no, that's fine.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: What about what about before? Well, you can vote for anybody.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, you can write in a name if you
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: want to write in a name. What about before Kamala,
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: who did you vote for?
• 31:14
  Speaker 9: Democracy? Right, that's the faux democracy.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: It's not phone democracy. You can walk in you can
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: write somebody's name, man, because.
• 31:21
  Speaker 9: You could vote for a Green Party candidate that doesn't
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: get any media coverage, that doesn't get any that doesn't
• 31:26
  Speaker 9: get any coverage by anyone, or you can vote by
• 31:29
  Speaker 9: the two Democratic candidates that get.
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: Put up there.
• 31:32
  Speaker 9: Kamala wasn't even voted on by Democratic constituents. She was
• 31:35
  Speaker 9: pushed by the party.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: That's the Democrats. Yeah, that's the Democrats. That's how they
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: that's how they operate.
• 31:41
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: So there was Republicans who freed the slave spot.
• 31:44
  Speaker 9: So let me get back let me get back.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: To it real quick. Yeah, I've only got it. Yeah,
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: I've got about thirty seconds here, So finish your point.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure where we're.
• 31:50
  Speaker 9: Going with it, but I'll finish my point. This has
• 31:54
  Speaker 9: been the decay of our society and the class of
• 31:57
  Speaker 9: the American Empire is due to decades and decades of
• 32:00
  Speaker 9: corporations pulling back our rights and our funding and instead
• 32:04
  Speaker 9: they go on the media, and they tell you that
• 32:06
  Speaker 9: trance people and immigrants are our problem, when instead we
• 32:09
  Speaker 9: spend hundreds of billions of dollars to bomb school children
• 32:12
  Speaker 9: overseas and we say that we're talking freedom by doing it.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what it sounds to me? It sounds
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: to me, Kyler. And I don't mean this in a
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: negative way. I just like spewing the facts here what
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: you just described. You have just described yourself as a Marxist.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: That that's that's what you are. A Marxist.
• 32:30
  Speaker 12: You word, Bookie word.
• 32:32
  Speaker 9: You said they you said they didn't they didn't. You
• 32:37
  Speaker 9: said that they didn't inductrinate you in the seventies and eighties,
• 32:43
  Speaker 9: But they did.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, you sir, you sir are a Marxist.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: You're a Marxist.
• 32:50
  Speaker 9: And what's why ain't just admit it?
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Why didn't you just admit it? You couldn't admit it? Kyler?
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: I asked you, you.
• 32:58
  Speaker 9: Can you define?
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: No, Kyler, I've given you an opportunity and a lot
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: of people went to weigh in on what you had
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: to say here and and look, if that's if that's
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: how you want to live your life, I can we
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: can spend an entire show talking about how Marxism is
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: incredibly corrupt, and we can do that. But Kyler, I
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: appreciate you calling it. Uh got to get to your
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: point a little bit faster though. I knew, ladies and gentlemen,
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: this is what we have to deal with here on
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: this program. And I appreciate Kyler coming in. You just
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: got to be open and honest. Why don't why don't
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: you just call it? Say Tod, I'm a Marxist. Let's
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: go to Jean in Georgia. All right, Jeane, what say you?
• 33:46
  Speaker 13: Uh?
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: Todd?
• 33:47
  Speaker 10: I'm just I did not realize how well off the
• 33:51
  Speaker 10: Republicans were versus the Democrats. We are obviously have cheap gas,
• 33:57
  Speaker 10: the successful. We don't have any financial problems because we
• 34:03
  Speaker 10: are Republicans, and ninety percent of us are proud, so
• 34:07
  Speaker 10: the poor Democrats. I totally understand where Tyler's going.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's you know, here's the thing, even during the
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: Obama years, I don't care who the president is. I'm
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: always proud of my country. I love my country, and
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: if what is it to my country, right or wrong,
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: it's my country. And I don't think the Democrats get
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: that because they're not Democrats anymore, Jean. That's the issue.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: They're not Democrats. They're a little Marxist, that's what they are.
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: Todd.
• 34:37
  Speaker 10: I'm eighty four years old. I've been over the hill
• 34:40
  Speaker 10: across the river. I've got to tell you, I truly
• 34:44
  Speaker 10: when I was in the army, I truly cannot understand
• 34:48
  Speaker 10: what is happening to our country? Is Trump that much
• 34:53
  Speaker 10: of a problem for the Democrats? They have no idea.
• 34:58
  Speaker 10: They are missing the greatest president as far as fun, achievement, excitement,
• 35:05
  Speaker 10: thrills and chills and all because they're upset with Trump.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Jean, do you realize, Jean, do you realize at this
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: very moment, there are there are leftists that are literally
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: marching in support of Algae outside the Lincoln Reflecting Poll.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: If that doesn't crank you up, you don't have a
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: funny bone.
• 35:31
  Speaker 10: I'm sorry, Todd. I did see that, and I thought,
• 35:34
  Speaker 10: what has happened to our country? Trump was right?
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: You're all crazy?
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: They are, Gene, You're absolutely And by the way, it's
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: not just the Democrats, it's the Republicans too. A lot
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: of people forget Trump is just Trump just used the
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: Republican Party to get elected. Right, he's not a Republican.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: He is a populist at heart. So I'm I'm having
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: a great time here. And this is one of the
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: reasons why is getting so much blowback is because he
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: is blowing up the way things have been done. And
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: all of you folks that think that Marxist ideology is
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: the way to go, more than one hundred million people
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: were slaughtered slaughtered because of Marxism. Just remember that. All right,
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: we've got to take a break here of folks. Nine
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six. This
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: is the Tom Stern Show. All right, what do they
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: teach us in school about all of this? So here's
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: what communism is. You got two cows, all right, two cows.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: The government takes both of the cows and then gives
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: you some of the milk. Now, in socialism, you got
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: two cows. The government takes one cow and gives it
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: to your neighbor. Under capitalism, you got two cows, you
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: sell one and you buy a bull. And if you
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: miss biology class, that means you get more little baby
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: cows can't. Under fancism, you have two cows. The government
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: takes both cows and sells you the milk, and under Nazism,
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: you got two cows. The government takes your cows and
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: then choot shit dad, And that's pretty much. That's pretty
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: much it. Those are your choices, ladies and gentlemen, And
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: every single time, I love capitalism. It's the only way
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: to go. All right, Look, we've got to take a
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: break here. Coming up, Wendy Patrick is going to be
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: joining us a huge update on Major League Baseball. We're
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: going to get to that. Also during the break, I
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: want you to go to ton Sterns dot com. You'll
• 37:36

  Speaker 3: we are launching a foundation and we want you to

  Speaker 3: join us and become a part of what we believe

  Speaker 3: So again, Tom Stearns dot com, look for the white
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: picket fence and the American flag support the Tod Sterens Show.

  Speaker 3: Great to have all of you joining us today here

  Speaker 3: on the Tod Stearns Radio Show. Coming up in just
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: a little while, Josh Jones is going to join us,
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: our chief political Strategies Primary day across America. Voters going
• 39:33

• 39:36
  Speaker 3: tell you all about that in just a little while.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Our telephone number nine oh one two six zero five
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: five nine two six. By the way, this is a
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: huge week for us. We are pushing the pre order
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: sales of my brand new book. It's called The Golden Age,
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: How Trump Saved America. It'll be in bookstores on August
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: the eleventh, but all this week we are urging you
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: to go and pre order a copy of the book.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: I understand pre orders looking right around ten thousand copies already,
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: which is pretty phenomenal. So we're excited about those numbers.
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: But we need your help. You can do that by
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: going to Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Books a Million, wherever
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: you get your books, and you can pre order online
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: The Golden Age, Al Trump Saved America. Well, as I
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: mentioned earlier today in the first hour of the show,
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: major League Baseball now admitting that they mistreated Christian ball players.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: I want to bring into the conversation our good friend.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: She is a terrific career trial attorney and a Newsmax columnist,
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: Wendy Patrick. Wendy, Hope you're doing great today.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: It's always a pleasure to join you.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: Todd, Thank you, Wendy. What a bizarre story, and this
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: is something that just sort of exploded in Snowballed with
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: Senator Josh Hawley writing an official letter to the Baseball
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: Commissioner demanding a lot of ann and it looks like
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: Major League Baseball is backing off of the threats they
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: made against those three Christian members of the San Francisco Giants.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: You know, Todd, I read the story with much interest
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: as well, because sometimes, you know, you'll have an organization
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: come out seemingly in support of content based discrimination, and
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: that's what this would be. If it's a freedom of
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: religion issue, you're allowed to write whatever you like. And
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: it ended up being to the point of making it
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: an even playing field, more about defacement allegedly than discrimination.
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: It was because they wrote on their hats, not because
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: we disagree with them being Christians. And it reminds me
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: of the conversations we had over the taking the knee controversy.
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: Seems like so long ago with a national anthem, and
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: like anything else, you know, sometimes a position might seem
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: good in a knee, your response by an organization is
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: rarely as positive or as much of a good idea
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: as initially thought. Once public opinion begins weighing in on both,
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: the island didn't take long for some of the viewers
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: and voters. We can't forget that to remember that the
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: league also was allowing other kinds of things, black lives Matter, patches,
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: other things that stand for other viewpoints without discipline. So
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: it was interesting, But I have to say, I don't
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: think we've heard the end of it.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: No, I don't think so either. And I know that
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: you've had a lot of folks out there in the
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: LGBT community really outraged over this. I saw them figured
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: out exactly why we need to force baseball players to
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: celebrate Pride month. I don't get that.
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: You know, it brings up another issue, and that is
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: an issue of forced speech. You have players of a
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: variety of faith based backgrounds, a variety of gender identities
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: and lifestyle choices and everything in between. Demographically, they're very diverse.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: They're unified because they're great players and they play well
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: together as a team. Why make it a divisive issue
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: is one of the issues that always arises when you
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: are attempting to force speech. Let everybody believe what they believe,
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: say what they want to say, because that's the law.
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: And it really only comes back to what is legally permissible.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: Because if you enforce the law, the rules, the policy,
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: whatever you want to call it with respect to some groups,
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: but not with respect to others, you're going to have problems,
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: and those problems are never going to go away because
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: God created everybody differently in terms of what people believe
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: and what they choose to believe, and everybody has opinions,
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: and that's one of the reasons controversies like this garner
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: the attention they do because it's caps at ballgames today,
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: It's going to be another form of speech tomorrow. And
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: one common denominator is not only can we not prevent
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: free speech, but you can't force speech because then it's
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: not free.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: And that's a great point and I think Major League
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: Baseball understood that in the explanation. I think the Baseball
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: Commissioner went back several years ago when they actually provided
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: a carve out specifically for the Dodgers in Los Angeles
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: and the Giants because they happen to have a large
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: LGBT fan base. But everybody else, you're not allowed to
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: force the Christian ball players. Now, I think everybody is
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: going to be included in that.
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, carveouts are dangerous. I'm glad you've
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: brought that out because why are you carving out exceptions
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: for certain groups, certain teams, certain demographics. If you're going
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: to do it in la why don't you do it
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: with a team you know in Boston? And those types
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: of things are right for extra scrutiny. Now I don't
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: mean legal scrutiny, because obviously that's the same standard for everybody,
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: but I mean public scrutiny. The court of public opinion
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: is a very loud voice, and we know that they're
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: influential because we've seen candidates change their statements, change their views.
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: We've seen organizations, whether it's football, baseball, or any sport
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: in between, we've seen them change their stance as well,
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: in support of public opinion or public disfavor. So that's
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: one of the problems. If you're carving out an ext
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: for somebody, you are already on a road to trouble.
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: Why not keep an even playing field for everybody in
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: every location.
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: We have Wendy Patrick with us on our Patriot Wobul
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: newsmaker line today. Wendy. Another story out of California, Scott Wiener,
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: who is going to be the next congressman. Barring some
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: sort of a miracle, he's going to be replacing Nancy Pelosi.
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: He came out yesterday and he's doubling down on all
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: of this, and he's saying that actually, gay people own
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: the rainbow flag, not Christians. What do you make of that?
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: Well, as a Christian minister, of course, you know I
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: wear that hat as well. It's in the Bible. I mean,
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: some of the arguments I hear are obviously made by
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: people who haven't read the Bible. You can say I've
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: read it and I disagree with the Holy Spirit God
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: that wrote it. But you can't claim something is not
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: there when it is so easy to read. You know,
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: we live in an age where we have information at
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: our fingertips. I used to say Google, Now I'll say
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: AI or name your browser of choice. But of course
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: it's in the Bible. It's part of the promise God
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: made to know after the flood that he would never
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: do it again. Non Christians understand that and know that.
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: So I think that sometimes people that are running for
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: elected office, or people that are already there, really have
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: to make sure that the statements they make are vetted
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: so they don't run a foul of such obvious biblical principles.
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: If you're talking about religion, you.
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: Know, I want to switch gears here real quick, Wendy.
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: There's a story out of the world of Tucker Carlson.
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on with that guy, but anyway,
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: Tucker Carlson now says he's officially done with the Republican Party.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: Take it. Let's take a listen to the audio here
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: cut three, Police.
• 46:37
  Speaker 14: I would not support the Republican Party. There's no chance
• 46:39
  Speaker 14: I would support the Republican Party. Not going to support
• 46:41
  Speaker 14: the Democratic Party. I don't know what I'm going to do,
• 46:44
  Speaker 14: but at this point, you know, how could you support
• 46:47
  Speaker 14: How could I or any American voter support a political
• 46:50
  Speaker 14: party that's not loyal to the United States, that puts
• 46:53
  Speaker 14: the interests of a foreign country above those of its
• 46:55
  Speaker 14: own citizens. Like that's you know, it's not possible to
• 46:59
  Speaker 14: vote for people like that. I'm not going to and
• 47:01
  Speaker 14: I think I voted Republican my entire life. I worked
• 47:04
  Speaker 14: at Fox News, I've seen an MSNBC. I've been a
• 47:09
  Speaker 14: consistent defender for thirty five years of the Republican Party.
• 47:13
  Speaker 14: I mean, very consistent defender. But there's no defending this
• 47:16
  Speaker 14: because it's immoral and it's exactly the opposite of what
• 47:20
  Speaker 14: a political party in a democracy is charged with doing,
• 47:23
  Speaker 14: which is representing its own voters, its own citizens, its
• 47:27
  Speaker 14: own nation, and they're not doing that. So no, I'm out,
• 47:30
  Speaker 14: And if I'm out, then I think a lot of
• 47:32
  Speaker 14: other people are out.
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: Wendy, what do you make of what Tucker Carlson just
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: said there?
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: Well, I've been on Fox with Tarker Carlson, and I
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: know that you know him too. We all know he's
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: very opinionated, and he's very outspoken when he has opinions.
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: I'm not one hundred percent sure at the back end
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: of the rationale that he's proclaiming, you know, as a
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: lifetime prosecutor trial attorney, I would love to know a
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: little bit more about the foundations of his denouncement of
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: the Republican Party and believing that others have as well.
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: I understand he's against the war, He's made that very clear,
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: and I understand what he thinks about some of the
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: decisions this administration has made, But to generalize it to
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: the entire Republican Party, I would love to know the backstory,
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: how he went from where he was to where he
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: is now. I think that's really the only way to
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: understand some of these outspoken opinions. You know, when we
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: give opinions. Sometimes we assume people know more about the
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: basis of our viewpoint changes than they really do, and
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: sometimes they're just left a little bit confused. Well, if
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: you don't agree with the Democrats and you don't agree
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: with the Republicans, give us a little more information to
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: work with and understanding why.
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: It's a great point. All right, Wendy, we're going to
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: have to leave it there, Folks. You can follow Wendy
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: on Instagram, Wendy Lynn Patrick. Follow her on Facebook Wendy

• 48:55
  Speaker 3: a quick break. When we come back. Your phone calls,
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: What do you make of Tunker Carlson announcing that he
• 49:00

  Speaker 3: By the way, this segment of the program brought to
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: you by our friends at Chapter. Now, if you're turning
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: sixty five, or maybe you're already on Medicare, you could
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: be overpaying right now and you may not even know
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: about it. And this is why I have partnered with Chapter.
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: Their advisors are very honest. They are not paid to
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: push any one particular plan. They are the only Medicare
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: advisor that compares every plan nationwide to tell you where
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: you stand. And in exactly one call, you're gonna know
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: exactly what you're entitled to. And by the way, you
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: may already be on the right plan. Well, Chapter's gonna
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: tell you that, and if you're not there, gonna help
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: you switch. It is absolutely free to give him a call,
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: and it takes less than twenty minutes. So if you're
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: turning sixty five or maybe you're already on Medicare, I
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: want you to go to the following website. Ask Chapter
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: dot org slash real help. That's ask Chapter dot org
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: slash real help. You be sure to tell him Todd
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: Stearns sent you. Over All right, let's go to Salem, Oregon.
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: Ron listening to us on k Y k inn Ron,
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: what's on your mind today?
• 50:41
  Speaker 11: I'm telling you right now, my let's go ahead and
• 50:43
  Speaker 11: play don't call me brother right now from the Old Jays,
• 50:47
  Speaker 11: but make a long story short. To hear Tyler, he
• 50:49
  Speaker 11: seems intellectual, but what's happened. He's been indocumented with season
• 50:53
  Speaker 11: defeatism the Republic and not say he's not going for demitant,
• 50:58
  Speaker 11: Republican everything else. That's what the Marxists want. They want
• 51:01
  Speaker 11: sheep for the slaughter and in the process in my state,
• 51:06
  Speaker 11: especially my cameras. Instead of sitting out there, my governor
• 51:10
  Speaker 11: senting CAMI. They's sitting out there and I'm watching it
• 51:12
  Speaker 11: nationally RNC, they're.
• 51:15
  Speaker 6: Not going through showing the evidence.
• 51:17
  Speaker 11: Just like writing a composition, introduction, a body, and a conclusion.
• 51:20
  Speaker 11: The introduction should be here's what this person's done, why
• 51:23
  Speaker 11: I'm running against them, Here's what they're voted that affects you.
• 51:27
  Speaker 11: That's the body, and the conclusion should be here's how
• 51:30
  Speaker 11: I'm gonna make something and fix it. That's what's different
• 51:33
  Speaker 11: from the R and C. When you're talking about when
• 51:35
  Speaker 11: Michael Rotley and Lord Trump was running it compared to
• 51:38
  Speaker 11: brutus in my own state, where the RP. It has
• 51:42
  Speaker 11: been undermined.
• 51:44
  Speaker 6: By just trying to go along, get along.
• 51:46
  Speaker 11: You cannot set up two masters and claim that you
• 51:48
  Speaker 11: walk with light when you're dumbing down our sheep. What
• 51:51
  Speaker 11: just the first commandment, the three commandments that Jesus told Peter,
• 51:55
  Speaker 11: love his sheep, Protect his sheep, feed his sheep.
• 51:59
  Speaker 6: You feed the.
• 51:59
  Speaker 11: Sheep with accountability. History is God's provins and iman phesis,
• 52:03
  Speaker 11: Dana Weftters says, and we must bring it back, we
• 52:06
  Speaker 11: must pull it countable. But we must be proactive. If
• 52:10
  Speaker 11: we're not proactive and just think you to wait till
• 52:12
  Speaker 11: so till October and campaign, then I then you're gonna
• 52:14
  Speaker 11: get elected. It's not going to happen anywhere. We will
• 52:17
  Speaker 11: have a slaughter throughout this country. But it really frust
• 52:21
  Speaker 11: me me to see these younger generations being undermine like this, Tom,
• 52:26
  Speaker 11: we got a problem.
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: Well, we do so, Ron, we do have a problem.
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: And the problem is you've got young people that are
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: being indoctrinated in these classrooms and they're being told this
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: is what they're being told that it's it's your fault, Ron,
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: it's our generation's fault that they cannot find a job.
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: They can't buy a house, you know, a starter home,
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: and I think you need what about I mean, just
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: to be able to afford a median price starter home,
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: you've got to have about seventy nine seventy nine eighty
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: thousand dollars. That's how much you need to be making
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: a year to be able to afford a starter home. Now,
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: I suspect ron there are a lot of different factors
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: involved here, and the reality is that that it is
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: a tough economy right now, no doubt about that. But
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: you also have to be asking yourself some pretty hardcore questions.
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: I think it was the shark. Who's the guy on
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: the shark tank? Oh JESU ball, dude, you know what
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about. Anyway, he was mister Wonderful, Thank you,
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: mister shark. Mister Wonderful. Yes, mister Wonderful is saying, hey, look,
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: if if you're making seventy thousand dollars a year, you
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: don't need to be going out for lunch. You need
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: to be packing a sandwich. So I'm wondering how many
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: people are just living so far beyond their means. You
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: know that they want to be able to buy the
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: house that their parents have when in many cases the
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: parents did not. That was not their first home. You know,
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: the more money they made, they moved into a larger home.
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: I just wonder as a whole, if the country is
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: living far beyond its means.
• 54:06
  Speaker 11: I agree one percent, because we have engroomed this generation,
• 54:10
  Speaker 11: the last two generations. I blamed my generation. I've born
• 54:12
  Speaker 11: in sixty seven when I learned when I grew up
• 54:15
  Speaker 11: forty years ago, one month and three days ago, my
• 54:17
  Speaker 11: fosse je in Fontana, California. No calis is to be given.
• 54:21
  Speaker 11: You got to earn. You got to have a job.
• 54:24
  Speaker 11: You've got to put the effort. You got to learn
• 54:26
  Speaker 11: how to touch checkers away and listen to the world.
• 54:28
  Speaker 11: One War two generation to have apartments and everything, they
• 54:32
  Speaker 11: had to earn it. They act like they didn't have
• 54:34
  Speaker 11: nothing they got. We're not teaching fitsgal responsibility in fifth
• 54:37
  Speaker 11: grade to junior high school. These they don't teach fiscal calibility,
• 54:42
  Speaker 11: household things till in high schools and just a book
• 54:45
  Speaker 11: by dumbing down through the school system, by.
• 54:48
  Speaker 6: The parents just going along because they've got to.
• 54:49
  Speaker 11: Work two jobs, one jobs. Both parents are working. And
• 54:53
  Speaker 11: this is premeditated. Great society garbage that LBJ set up
• 54:57
  Speaker 11: and if divide the house up by having the mother
• 55:01
  Speaker 11: or the kids have Namer sent the custody. It's the emasculation,
• 55:06
  Speaker 11: the demonic position of ours society. And we've met the
• 55:09
  Speaker 11: Republican Party, especially in my state, need to explain. Don't
• 55:14
  Speaker 11: wait till the end of summer and then try to campaign.
• 55:17
  Speaker 11: They need to show why my fuel bill is almost
• 55:20
  Speaker 11: niney since high because of the utopian drium of cap
• 55:22
  Speaker 11: and try. They need to show why with law enforcement
• 55:26
  Speaker 11: hands being tied, that they can't that they security guards
• 55:30
  Speaker 11: can't even prosecute for shoplifting and enabling a hale liss
• 55:33
  Speaker 11: because it becomes a NGO money grabbing great society garbage.
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: Well let me jump in here, all right, Yeah, I
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: got it, I got it. I've got it, Ron, But
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: hear me on this. There are young people and they
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: ron thank you for the call. There are young people
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: out there who literally believe they have it worse off
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: than there what would be their great great great grandparents
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: who grew up during and survived the Great Depression. And
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: I'm just curious to hear your thoughts of that, because
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: many of you were either children in the Great Depression,
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: or your your grandparents or your parents were you know,
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: lived through the Great Depression? Do you believe that today's kids,
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: today's Gen Z kids have it worse off than people
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: who survived the Great Depression. Nine oh one two six
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: zero five nine two six is our telephone number. That's
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: Harvard did a study in the fall of last year.
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: They called it their Harvard Youth Poll. Only thirteen percent
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: of eighteen to twenty nine year old said the country
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: was headed in the right direction. So they they're being
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: taught that you middle class, upper middle class America, that
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: you are hoarding the wealth and they deserve it. They
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: want what you work for, but they don't want to
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: work for. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: two six. Our number, that's nine oh one two six
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: zero five nine two six. This is the Todd stern Show.
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome back. This is the Todd Sterns Radio Show.
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: Let's go to the phone lines. Westminster, South Carolina. Jan
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: is on the line. Hi, Jan, what's on your mind today?
• 57:34
  Speaker 13: Hi, Yes, Stirs, good to talk to you. I was
• 57:37
  Speaker 13: just going to tell you a couple of little stories
• 57:39
  Speaker 13: about my parents who were born in nineteen seventeen and
• 57:43
  Speaker 13: nineteen eighteen and their Depression era experiences. My mom and
• 57:51
  Speaker 13: dad were born in Winston and Walker County in North Alabama.
• 57:56
  Speaker 13: Grew up on small farms and they remember picking cotton
• 58:01
  Speaker 13: in well, they did it in ten foot long cotton sacks,
• 58:05
  Speaker 13: and at the end of the road they would have
• 58:07
  Speaker 13: watermelon vine's planet so they could sit down and have
• 58:10
  Speaker 13: something refreshing. But that ten foot long cotton sack flung
• 58:14
  Speaker 13: across their shoulders brought ten cents. My aunt Helen, who
• 58:20
  Speaker 13: was born in nineteen twenty nine, remembers that when the
• 58:23
  Speaker 13: government would come to the area, and that's what she said,
• 58:26
  Speaker 13: when the government men would come, they would hide their
• 58:30
  Speaker 13: stacks of flour and sugar up in the rafters of
• 58:32
  Speaker 13: the barn so they wouldn't be confiscated. So no, I
• 58:37
  Speaker 13: don't think the gen X generation has it worse than
• 58:40
  Speaker 13: what our folks did.
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: No, it's you know, it's interesting when when you look
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: at Gen Z and I think they overstate, greatly, overstate
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: their anxiety.
• 58:50
  Speaker 11: You know.
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: The reality is, yeah, home prices are very high right now,
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: no doubt about that. I think the average starter home
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: well over two hundred thousand dollars. And if you're making
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: seventy seventy five thousand dollars a year, well you're gonna
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: have a hard time. You're gonna have a hard time
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: covering that nut. Now, I will say this. I know
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: when my dad, you know, we went through the oil
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: the energy crisis back in the seventies and eighties, and
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: my dad's job depended on that, and so Dad had
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: to go out and get a second job to make
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: ends meet. So sometimes you just have to suck it up, Jan,
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: and you got to do what you gotta do to
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: make ends meet.
• 59:31
  Speaker 6: That's right.
• 59:32
  Speaker 13: When we were my husband and I were at house
• 59:35
  Speaker 13: fine age and time interest rates. We're seventeen percent under
• 59:40
  Speaker 13: Jimmy Carter. So there was no house in our future,
• 59:43
  Speaker 13: and we just did what we had to do.
• 59:46
  Speaker 11: You know.
• 59:46
  Speaker 13: It's and if you don't have that mentality, you never
• 59:49
  Speaker 13: get anywhere.
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: It's a it's a fair point, Jan, it's a fair point.
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: And and yes, times are tough for kids. And you know,
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: again when you take a look at at how we
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: structure our families and our lives, Uh, there are some
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: cultures and they just don't get they don't get why
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: everybody leaves home at like eighteen or nineteen years old,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: or why grandma and grandpa are living in a home,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: you know, it's there. There used to be a time
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: in this country when multiple generations lived under the same
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: roof or sometimes on the same piece of property. So again,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: times have changed, and there's nothing wrong with times changing.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: But the reality is, there's no way that kids today
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: have it as worse off than the kids who grew
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: up during the Great Depression years.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: No, there's not.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 13: The stories they tell and the stories they won't tell, yes,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 13: I think, which are even more more important than once
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 13: they won't tell the hardships all right, and I appreciate it.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 13: I appreciate your show. Always enjoy listen.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: Jan thank you for calling in nine oh one two
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six. Our telephone number, that's
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 3: nine one two six zero five nine two six. I
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: want to bring in our chief political strategist, Josh Jones
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: into the conversation. Josh, I'm curious about your family. You know,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: your family, you grew up on a farm or in
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: the country, as did my grandparents. You know, back in
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: the nineteen thirties during the Great Depression. You know what
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: they took to school for lunch. Josh Jones, I don't
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: I want you to say, Todd, what what did your
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: grandparents they? They had bread and bacon grease, and that's
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: how they would make bacon grease sandwiches. Yum yum.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I haven't heard that before, but I don't doubt it.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: Which may actually be tastier than I don't know, avocado toast.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 3: But you know, who am I? Who am I to judge? Josh.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: It's good to see you. I know you've been out
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: and about on the campaign trail. This is your busy season.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: And today we are looking at decision day in America.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: Four states holding primaries, one of them actually holding a
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: run off. That's a South Carolina. What's what's the big
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: headline coming out of today?
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 16: Look, I think looking at the Democrats, how they are,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 16: I think that might be where the story is today.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 16: Obviously there's some competitive Republican primaries happening, But in New
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 16: York you have a big battle happening for the future
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 16: of the Democratic Party and their ideology. You have the
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 16: AOC Bernie Sanders crowd that are running all these candidates
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 16: against the Democrat House delegation in New York. So you're
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 16: going to have this competition between New York and between
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 16: the AOC socialist wing of the party and you have
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 16: more traditional blue dog Democrats.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 15: So I think that's going to be a real bell weather.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 16: We've already seen, you know, in LA and then also
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 16: in New York with these mayor races, Democrats are turning
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 16: to the left.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: So when when you look at at New York, I'm
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: fascinated by this because it really is going to tell
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: I think the rest of the nation exactly where these
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: Democrats are going to go. And I think I think
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: they're moving to the left. Josh, I may be misreading
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: the tea leaves here, but I think they're going to
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: the left.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I think you're Ryan.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 16: I think a lot of Americans whenever you know, your
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 16: average voter sids tuning in over the next couple of
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 16: months as we get closer to the actual mid terms.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 15: If Republicans do their.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 16: Job and message correctly, you know, get out there on
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 16: the campaign trial like they should, I think a lot
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 16: of voters are going to go Wait a second, this
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 16: is not the Democratic Party of not even just ten
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 16: years ago. They've run so far to the left ever
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 16: since really twenty sixteen after Hillary loss, and then he
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 16: had Biden come in and be way more progressive than
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 16: he had been historically in the Senate.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 15: And then in twenty twenty four ove so he had
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 15: Kamala Harris.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 16: So I think a lot of people are going to
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 16: take a Democratic Party this November and go, wait a second,
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 16: this is a socialist party that doesn't represent our values,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 16: whereas the Republican Party is no more focused on those
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 16: traditional kitchen table issues.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: I think there and on the other side of the aisle,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: there is an interesting runoff in South Carolina the gubernatorial
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: race between the lieutenant governor who got the President's endorsement
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: and Alan Wilson, who seems to be picking up every
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: other endorsement in the state, including from our good friend
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: Ralph Norman, who's a member of the House Freedom Caucus.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: What do you think is going on down there in
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: South Carolina?
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 15: Yeah, you have an interesting situation in South Carolina.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 16: Like you mentioned, the President endorsed the current lieutenant governor
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 16: who's running for governor.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 15: She came in first in the first round of voting
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 15: back a couple of weeks ago.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 16: But you've kind of had everybody else in South Carolina
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 16: rally around the attorney general who's running for the Republican nomination.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 16: So look, they're both good Republicans. At the end of
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 16: the day, I think it's going to be interesting. I think,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 16: you know, it's another test of the President's endorsement to
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 16: see where the Republican voters might go. But look, the
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 16: state leadership and as you mentioned Ralph Norman, you know
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 16: Freedom Caucus member, you know, a solid conservative is you
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 16: know on this side of the Attorney general here.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 15: I think regardless of who you're.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 16: Backing, whoever becomes the nominee out of this primary today
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 16: is who republic have to ride around in November.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 15: I think that's what they'll do.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: Josh Jones joining us on our Patriot Mobile news maker
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: line Josh. A very interesting Senate race out of Texas.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: James tall Rico, he's like the gift that keeps on
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: giving for Republicans. Now some newly resurfaced audio where he
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: says he hates Christianity. Let's take a listen to that. Police.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 17: Yeah, and that's you know, I always think of myself
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 17: as a Christian who hates Christianity up right, and like
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 17: I always get always get drowned back into it.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: So there you have it. He's a theologian who hates Jesus. Uh,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: how do you think that plays out there in the
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 3: deep in the heart of Texas.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 16: Yeah, I don't think James Talarico is going to be
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 16: doing very well in the election in November. And look,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 16: Democrats every every cycle, they think that's when Texas is
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 16: going to go blue. And they thought James tall Rico
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 16: is you know, doing what they always do. Run us
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 16: this moderate who you know is middle of the road
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 16: and isn't crazy, and she's just a traditional Democrat. And
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 16: then all this stuff comes out that everybody was already
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 16: saying from the beginning it was going to come out.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 16: But all this stuff comes out of him being this
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 16: radical leftist who's running like a moderate. I think, you know,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 16: Texas photers are smart, they're not going to fall for this.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 16: And you know Canaan Packson will easily went in November.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: Well here's how crazy that this whole story is not
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: even Jasmine Crockett. And you know she is, she is
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: off the charts insane. She doesn't want to have anything
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: to do with this guy. Not I don't think she's
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: going to be campaigning for him. But I think the
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: bigger story is Black voters in Texas, especially Democrats, are
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: very religious, very conservative, and Josh, I have to imagine
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: they're going to be turned off by this sort of
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: you know, I hate Christianity or Jesus was an anarchist
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: kind of stuff.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, James col Rico is totally off base
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 16: here and totally insane and also too Mind you, it's June.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 16: We still have plenty of time and go between now
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 16: and November from stuff to come out about this guy,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 16: and I guarantee it will. So I think Texas voters
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 16: are already paying attention because they're just seeing how crazy
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 16: this guy is to get started with, especially as Republicans
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 16: ramp up their campaign heading into November. I think Ken
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 16: Paxson is very easily going to be the next Senator
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 16: from Texas. So but if you're a Democrat watching, send
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 16: your money to Texas because you can definitely.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: Win, no doubt about that. Here's Pallerco talking about his
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: whiteness and his masculinity. Take a listen.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 12: I should mention you know, my imagination is also just
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 12: limited by my own my own background and identity, right,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 12: my own my whiteness, my masculinity, all those things limited
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 12: my imagination about what's possible. So I have to continually
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 12: press against that to try to expand the limits of
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 12: of what I'm dreaming of for our for our community.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 12: And that's where you know, Docorrovy, your book helps me
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 12: do that, and and and podcasts like this helped me
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 12: do that.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: What in the world is this guy talking about? I
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 3: don't understand. So he's got a problem that he was
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: born white and he was born a man. And the
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: last time I said something about this, Esquire Magazine took
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: me to the woodshed because I'm just wondering, how exactly
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: does he come to terms with his masculinity, you know,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: if he's wearing frilly underpants or whatever. I don't know.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: I don't care. I'm just wondering, what does this mean?
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 15: Josh Joe, Yes, this guy's insane.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 16: And look Democrats from the beginning, they's trying to say
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 16: this guy's a moderate, and then he's talking about stuff
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 16: like this. I mean, who in Texas if you walk
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 16: up to a voter in Texas and say, what's the
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 16: biggest issue on your mind right now? What's affecting you?
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 16: Every day, no one is saying anything He's saying. No
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 16: one's talking about their masculinity, nobody's talking about their whiteness.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 16: People are talking about the cost of gas, the cost
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 16: of groceries, the cost of buying a house like you
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 16: were talking about before. Nobody's talking about this. And this
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 16: is a typical Democrats. Democrats love to say, Oh, Republicans
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 16: try to divide people into Bude Americans on all these.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 15: Cultural war issues.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 16: By the end of the day, if you look at
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 16: Republican messaging, particularly in Texas, as someone who does a
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 16: lot of words down in Texas, we're focused on the
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 16: cost of living and getting the price down for working
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 16: families in Texas, Democrats mean while are out here talking
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 16: about their whiteness and their masculine and how much they
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 16: hate themselves. So we'll see which one residents with photer
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 16: is this no member?
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, that's that's gonna be a no brainer. By
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: the way, I know you live in DC. Have you
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: seen the algae people out there on the mall?
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 16: These people are insane. These people are literally insane. No,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 16: I haven't personally seen them, but I've been following it
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 16: on Twitter. I haven't been down to the reflecting pool
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 16: quite yet, but these people are literally mentally unwell.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: All right, well, we will leave it there. Josh shows
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 3: loaded for Bear today. Josh, good to see you, my friend.

• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: all right. Welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Stearns
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 3: Radio Show. By the way, this segment of the show
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 3: brought to you by our friends at Newsmax. As a
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 3: matter of fact, Newsma's very concerned. They want to make
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 3: sure that you are getting all of the social security
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: benefits that you deserve, and they have five key strategies
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 3: that they want you to have access to, and our
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: friends that Newsmax are going to provide those to you
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 3: free of charge because they're nice that way. That's right.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: Michael Allen is a social security expert, and he says
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: there are five key strategies to increase your benefits by
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: as much as one hundred and eighty eight thousand dollars
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: over a lifetime. Now, if you would like these, if
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: you would like these strategies, whether you're getting benefits or
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 3: you soon will, all you have to do is give
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 3: them a call eight hundred and nine to nine ninety
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: six ninety. That's eight hundred ninety six ninety and we
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 3: will test. We will text you all the information Againe
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: nine or eight hundred ninety six ninety. Text and data
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 3: rates may apply. All right. I want to go back
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: to this story out of out of Texas. This is
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 3: just bonkers, this tall Rico guy. And the fact of
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 3: the matter is that he's a woman. I mean, that's
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: really the bottom line here. The guy is the guy
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: behaves like a woman. It's insane. This is cut number
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 3: sixteen place.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 18: There have been a tax on your masculinity, on lives
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 18: about your sexuality, attacks on your partner.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: They've been like on a level ten twelve.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 18: Sure, Paxton has even begun to call you low t Tallarico.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 19: What's your response to that? Honestly, I had to look
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 19: up what that meant. I don't think, guys my age,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 19: you're really concerned about that kind of thing. But I
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 19: think that these nicknames and these personal attacks don't actually
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 19: don't actually meet the needs of Texas. Everywhere I go
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 19: across the state, all I hear about is how folks
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 19: are drowning, how those ends at the end of the
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 19: month never seem to meet, and how.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: People can't get by.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 19: They can't afford the basics groceries and gas and insurance
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 19: and prescription drugs, the things we need to survive. And
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 19: they're looking desperately for elected leaders who are actually going
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 19: to solve their problems. And so when you see Ken
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 19: Paxton and the Republican Party attacking me personally, attacking my girlfriend,
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 19: attacking my church and my pastor, I think it exposes
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 19: the fact that they have no clue how to get
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 19: this economy back on track. They have no solutions to
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 19: lower people's costs and raise their pay So if they
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 19: have no affirmative argument to make the voters, I think
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 19: that that is a good sign for our chances in November.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 3: Uh huh so, girlfriend, all right, that's in the uh
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 3: yeah the ghost quotes there. Girlfriend. So look, here's the deal,
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 3: the reason why they call him low T Tallarico. The
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: Moore guy said, I don't know, I really don't know
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 3: what that means. Well, it means she got no testosterone
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: pal That's what it means, and you can eat all
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 3: the brisket in Texas. And I don't think that's gonna
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: work for you.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 5: I really don't.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: But anyway, tall Rico's out there and the New York
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 3: Post has a big story up up about one of
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 3: his one of his key men mentors, being some sort
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: of a transgender queer wackadoodle. Never seen anything like it,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 3: but this guy. It's a pardon me, I said, transgender whackadoodle.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 3: It's a trans queer latina. No, I'm not making this up.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 3: It's in the New York Post for crying out loud.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: The author Ryan King meet the trans queer LATINX theologian
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: who continues to inspire James tell Rico. Tell Rico says
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: that the theologian was his source, his major source of
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: inspiration for his left wing philosophy. When you started following
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 3: me on Twitter, I couldn't contain my inner fanboy, because
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 3: I read your book last year and continues to inspire me.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: That's what he told Roberto Henderson Espinoza, who I think
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 3: is a woman. I think I don't hold me to that,
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: but the working theory is this dude's a woman. Now,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know of many. I'm just gonna say this,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 3: I don't know of many gay Texans who would be
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 3: fan over a trans queer LATINX.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: But who knows.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 3: Crazier things have happened in the Load Star State. But
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: there you have it, everybody. I think tall Ico gets
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 3: gets a whoopan in November. That's what I think is
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: going to go on with this guy. Yeah, I'm looking
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 3: at Roberto. I think he may be he may have
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 3: been a Roberta at one time in his life, Big Roberta. Yeah,
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 3: that's what I'm thinking. We don't judge here, We're just confused.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 3: our telephone number, that's nine oh one two six zero
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 3: five nine two six.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: This is the Tod Sterns Show, live from the Liberty
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's common sense conservative commentary
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: from Todd Starts SAT.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: US American.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 3: And Hello everybody, Welcome to our two of the Big Show.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 3: Great to have you with us today, broadcasting border to border,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 3: coast to coast across the Fruited Plane. Welcome also to
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 3: all of our viewers on Facebook and YouTube and rumble.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: Great to have all of you joining us today here
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: on the Tod Stearns Radio show. Coming up in just
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 3: a little while, Josh Jones is going to join us,
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 3: our chief political strategist. Primary day across America. Voters going
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 3: to the polls in four states, and we're going to
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: tell you all about that in just a little while.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 3: Our telephone number nine oh one two six zero five
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five,
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 3: nine two six. By the way, this is a huge
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: week for us. We are pushing the pre order sales
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 3: of my brand new book. It's called The Golden Age,
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 3: How Trump Saved America. It'll be in bookstores on August
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 3: the eleventh, but all this week we are urging you
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 3: to go and pre order a copy of the book.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: I understand pre order is looking right around ten thousand
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 3: copies already, which is pretty phenomenal. So we're excited about
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 3: those numbers. But we need your help. You can do
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 3: that by going to Barnes and Noble, Amazon Books and
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: Willion wherever you get your books, and you can pre
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 3: order online The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America. Well,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 3: as I mentioned earlier today in the first hour of
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 3: the show, Major League Baseball now admitting that they mistreated
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: Christian ballplayers. I want to bring into the conversation our
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 3: good friend. She is a terrific career trial attorney and
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 3: a Newsmax columnist, Wendy Patrick. Wendy, hope you're doing great today.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 4: It's always a pleasure to join you, Todd.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Wendy. What a bizarre sty And this is
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 3: something that just sort of exploded in snowball with Senator
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 3: Josh Hawley writing an official letter to the Baseball Commissioner
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 3: demanding a lot of answers. And it looks like Major
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: League Baseball is backing off of the threats they made
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 3: against those three Christian members of the San Francisco Giants.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 4: You know, Todd, I read the story with much interest
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 4: as well, because sometimes, you know, you'll have an organization
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 4: come out seemingly in support of content based discrimination, and
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 4: that's what this would be. If it's a freedom of
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 4: religion issue, you're allowed to write whatever you like. And
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: it ended up being to the point of making it
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 4: an even playing field, more about defacement allegedly than discrimination.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 4: It was because they wrote on their hats, not because
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 4: we disagree with them being Christians. And it reminds me,
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 4: of the conversations we had over the taking the knee
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 4: controversy seems like so long ago with a national anthem,
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 4: and like anything else, you know, sometimes a position might
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 4: seem good and a knee your response by an organization
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 4: is rarely as positive or as much of a good
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 4: idea as initially thought. Once public opinion begins weighing in
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 4: on both sides of the island didn't take long for
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 4: some of the viewers and voters. We can't forget that,
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 4: to remember that the league also was allowing other kinds
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 4: of things black lives Matter, patches, other things that stand
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 4: for other viewpoints without discipline. So it was interesting. But
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 4: I have to say, I don't think we've heard the
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 4: end of it.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 3: No, I don't think so either, And I know that
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 3: you've had a lot of folks out there in the
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 3: LGBT community really outraged over this. I saw then figured
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 3: out exactly why we need to force baseball players to
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 3: celebrate Pride month. I don't get that.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 4: You know, it brings up another issue, and that is
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 4: an issue of forced speech. You have players of a
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 4: variety of faith based backgrounds, a variety of gender identities
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 4: and lifestyle choices. And everything in between. Demographically they're very diverse.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 4: They're unified because they're great players and they play well
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 4: together as a team. Why make it a divisive issue?
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 4: That is one of the issues that always arises when
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 4: you are attempting to force speech. Let everybody believe what
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 4: they believe, say what they want to say, because that's
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 4: the law. And it really only comes back to what
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 4: is legally permissible. Because if you enforce the law, the rules,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 4: the policy, whatever you want to call it with respect
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 4: to some groups, but not with respect to others, you're
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 4: going to have problems. And those problems are never going
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 4: to go away because God created everybody differently in terms
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 4: of what people believe and what they choose to believe,
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 4: and everybody has opinions, and that's one of the reasons
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 4: controversies like this garner the attention they do. Because it's
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 4: caps at ballgames today, It's going to be another form
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 4: of speech tomorrow. And one common denominator is not only
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 4: can we not prevent free speech, but you can't force
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 4: speech because then it's not free.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: And that's a great point, and I think Major League
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: Baseball understood that in the explanation. I think the Baseball
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 3: Commissioner went back several years ago when they actually provided
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 3: a carve out specifically for the Dodgers in Los Angeles
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 3: and the Giants because they happen to have a large
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 3: LGBT fan base. But everybody else, you're not allowed to
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 3: force the Christian ball players. Now, I think everybody is
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 3: going to be included in that.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know carveouts are dangerous. I'm glad you
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 4: brought that out because why are you carving out exceptions
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 4: for certain groups, certain teams, certain demographics. If you're going
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 4: to do it in LA why don't you do it
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 4: with the team you know in Boston? And those types
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 4: of things are right for extra scrutiny. Now, I don't
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 4: mean legal scrutiny, because obviously that's the same standard for everybody,
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 4: but I mean public scrutiny. The court of public opinion
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 4: is a very loud voice, and we know that they're
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 4: influential because we've seen candidates change their statements, change their views.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 4: We've seen organizations, whether it's fotball, baseball, or any sport
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 4: in between, we've seen them change their stance as well
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 4: in support of public opinion or public disfavor. So That's
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 4: one of the problems. If you're carving out an exception
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 4: for somebody, you are already on a road to trouble.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 4: Why not keep an even playing field for everybody in
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 4: every location.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 3: We have Wendy Patrick with us on our Patriot bobul
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 3: Newsmaker line today. Wendy. Another story out of California, Scott Wiener,
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 3: who is going to be the next congressman, barring some
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 3: sort of a miracle, he's going to be replacing Nancy Pelosi.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 3: He came out yesterday and he's doubling down on all
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 3: of this, and he's saying that actually, gay people own
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 3: the rainbow flag, not Christians. What do you make of that?
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 4: Well, as a Christian minister, of course, you know I
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 4: wear that hat as well. It's in the Bible. I mean,
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 4: some of the arguments I hear are obviously made by
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 4: people who haven't read the Bible. You can say I've
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 4: read it and I disagree with the Holy Spirit God
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 4: that wrote it. But you can't claim something is not
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 4: there when it is so easy to read. You know,
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 4: we live in an age where we have information at
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 4: our fingertips. I used to say Google, Now I'll say
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 4: AI or name your browser of choice. But of course
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 4: it's in the Bible. It's part of the promise God
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 4: made to know after the flood that he would never
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 4: do it again. Non Christians understand that and know that.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 4: So I think that sometimes people that are running for
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 4: elected office, or people that are already there, really have
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 4: to make sure that the statements they make are vetted
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 4: so they don't run a foul of such obvious biblical principles.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 4: If you're talking about religion.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 3: You know, I want to switch gears here real quick, Wendy.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 3: There's a story out of the world of Tucker Carlson.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on with that guy, but anyway,
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 3: Tucker Carlson now says he's officially done with the Republican Party.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 3: Take it. Let's take a listen to the audio here
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 3: cut three, Polase.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 14: I would not support the Republican Party. There's no chance
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 14: I would support the Republican Party. Not going to support
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 14: the Democratic Party. I don't know what I'm going to do,
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 14: but at this point, you know, how could you support
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 14: How could I or any American vote or support a
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 14: political party that's not loyal to the United States, that
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 14: puts the interests of a foreign country above those of
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 14: its own citizens Like that's you know, it's not possible
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 14: to vote for people like that, and I'm not going to.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 14: And I think I voted Republican my entire life. I
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 14: worked at Fox News, I've seen an MSNBC. I've been
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 14: a consistent defender for thirty five years of the Republican Party.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 14: I mean, very consistent defender. But there's no defending this
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 14: because it's immoral and it's exactly the opposite of what
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 14: a political party in a democracy is charged with doing,
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 14: which is representing its own voters, its own citizens, its
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 14: own nation.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: And they're not doing that.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 14: So no, I'm out, And if I'm out, then I
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 14: think a lot of other people are out.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 3: Wendy, what do you make of what Tarker Carlson just
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 3: said there?
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 4: Well, I've been on Fox with Tarker Carlton, and I
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 4: know that you know him too. We all know he's
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 4: very opinionated and he's very outspoken when he has opinions.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 4: I'm not one hundred percent sure of the back end
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 4: of the rationale that he's proclaiming. You know, as a
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 4: lifetime prosecutor trial attorney, I would love to know a
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 4: little bit more about the foundations of his denouncement of
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 4: the Republican Party and believing that others have as well.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 4: I understand he's against the war, He's made that very clear,
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 4: and I understand what he thinks about some of the
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 4: decisions this administration has made, But to generalize it to
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 4: the entire Republican Party, I would love to know the
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 4: backstory how he went from where he was to where
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 4: he is now. I think that's really the only way
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 4: to understand some of these outspoken opinions. You know, when
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 4: we give opinions, sometimes we assume people know more about
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 4: the basis of our viewpoint changes than they really do,
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 4: and sometimes they're just left a little bit confused. Well,
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 4: if you don't agree with the Democrats and you don't
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 4: agree with the Republicans, give us a little more information
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 4: to work with and understanding why.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 3: It's a great point, all right, Wendy, We're gonna have
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 3: to leave it there, folks. You can follow Wendy on
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 3: Instagram Wendy Lynn Patrick, follow her on Facebook Wendy Lynn

• 1:26:06
  Speaker 3: a quick break. When we come back, your phone calls.

• 1:26:56
  Speaker 3: about it. And this is why I have partnered with Champ.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 3: Their advisors are very honest. They are not paid to
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 3: push any one particular plan. They are the only Medicare
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 3: advisor that compares every plan nationwide to tell you where
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 3: you stand, and in exactly one call, you're going to
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 3: know exactly what you're entitled to. And by the way,
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 3: you may already be on the right plan. Well, Chapter

  Speaker 3: to give them a call and it takes less than
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 3: twenty minutes. So if you're turning sixty five or maybe
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 3: you're already on medicare, I want you to go to
• 1:27:32

• 1:27:37
  Speaker 3: That's ask Chapter dot org slash real help. You be
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 3: sure to tell them Todd Stearns sent you. Over all, right,
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 3: let's go to Salem, Oregon. Ron listening to us on
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 3: k y K in Ron. What's on your mind today?
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 11: I'm telling you right now, Miles, go ahead and play
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 11: don't call me brother right now from the Old Jays,
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 11: but make a little story short to hear Tyler, he
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 11: seems intellectual, but what's happened. He's been indocumented with season
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 11: defeatism them the Republic. And I'm not saying he's not
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 11: voting for demotary Republic and everything else. That's what the
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 11: Marxists want. They want sheep for the slaughter and in
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 11: the process in my state, especially my cameras, instead of
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 11: sitting out there, my governor and Senate candidate's sitting out
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 11: there and I'm watching it nationally RN. See, they're not
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 11: going through showing the evidence. Just like writing a composition, introduction,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 11: a body, and a conclusion. The introduction should be, here's
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 11: what this person's done, why I'm running against them, Here's
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 11: what they're voted that affects you. That's the body, and
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 11: the conclusion should be here's how I'm going to make
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 11: something and fix it. That's what's difference from the R
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 11: and C when you're talking about when Michael Rotley and
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 11: Lord Trump was running it compared to brutus in my
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 11: own state where the rip it has.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 6: Been undermined by just trying to go.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 11: Along, get along. You cannot save up two masters and
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 11: claim that you off with light when you're dumbing down
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 11: our sheep, which is the first commandment, the three commandments
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 11: that Jesus told Peter. Love his sheep, Protect his sheep,
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 11: feed his sheep. You feed the sheep with accountability. History
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 11: is God's problems and infesis, Dana Weftter says, and we
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 11: must bring it back, we must pull it can. But
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 11: what we must be proactive. If we're not proactive and
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 11: just think you to wait till so timber October and
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 11: campaign then and think you're going to get elected. It's
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 11: not going to happen anywhere. We will have a smather
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 11: throughout this country. But it really frushed me to me
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 11: to see these younger generations being undermined like this, Todd,
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 11: we got a problem.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 3: Well we do so, Ron, we do have a problem.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 3: And the problem is you've got young people that are
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 3: being indoctrinated in these classrooms and they're being told this
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 3: is what they're being told that it's it's your fault, Ron,
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 3: it's our generation's fault that they cannot find a job,
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 3: they can't buy a house, you know, a starter home,
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 3: and I think you need what about I mean, just
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 3: to be able to afford a median price starter home,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 3: you've got to have about seventy nine seventy nine eighty
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 3: thousand dollars. That's how much you need to be making
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 3: a year to be able to afford a starter home. Now,
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 3: I suspect Ron, there are a lot of different factors
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 3: involved here, and the reality is that that it is
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 3: a tough economy right now, no doubt about that. But
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 3: you also have to be asking yourself some pretty hardcore questions.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 3: I think it was at the shark who's the guy
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 3: on the shark tank? Oh, jez Ball, dude, you know
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 3: what I'm talking about. Anyway, he was mister Wonderful, Thank you,
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 3: mister shark. Mister Wonderful. Yes, mister Wonderful is saying, hey, look,
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 3: if you're making seventy thousand dollars a year, you don't
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 3: need to be going out for lunch. You need to
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 3: be packing a sandwich. So I'm wondering how many people
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 3: are just living so far beyond their means. You know
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 3: that if they want to be able to buy the
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 3: house that their parents have, when in many cases the
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 3: parents did not, that was not their first home. You know,
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 3: the more money they made, they moved into a larger home.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 3: I just wonder as a whole, if the country is
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 3: living far beyond its means.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 11: I agree one hundred percent, because we have groomed this generation,
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 11: the last two generations. I blamed my generation.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 6: I born in sixty seven.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 11: Well, I learned when I grew up forty years ago,
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 11: one month and three days ago my FoST home in Fontana, California,
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 11: No calum is to be given. You got to earn,
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 11: You got to earn, have a job. You've got to
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 11: put the effort. You got to learn how to touch
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 11: checkers away and listen to the world. One War two
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 11: generation to have apartments and everything, they had to earn it.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 11: They act like they didn't have nothing they got. We're
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 11: not teaching fiscal responsibility in fifth grade to junior high school.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 11: These they don't teach fiscal calibility household things till in
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 11: high schools and just a book by dumbing down through
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 11: the school system by the parents just going alone because
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 11: they've got to work two jobs, one jobs. Both parents
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 11: are working. And this is premeditated great society garbage that
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 11: LBJ set up. And if devis the household by having
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 11: the mother of the kids helped, I send the custody.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 11: It's the emasculation, the demonic position of our society. And
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 11: we met the Republican Party, especially in my state, need
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 11: to explain. Don't wait till the end of summer and
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 11: then try to campaign. They need to show.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 6: Why my fueld deal.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 11: Is almost niney since high because of the utopian drium
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 11: of cap and Fray. They need to show why with
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 11: law enforcement hands being tied, that they can't that they
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 11: security guards can't even prosecute for shoplifting and enabling the
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 11: hall this because it becomes a ng O money grabbing
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 11: great society garbage.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 3: Well let me jump in here, all right, Yeah, I
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 3: got it, I got it. I've got it.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 7: Ron.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 3: But but hear me on this. There are young people
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 3: in the run. Thank you for the call. There are
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 3: young people out there who literally believe they have it
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 3: worse off than there what would be their great great
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 3: great grandparents who grew up during and survived the Great Depression.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 3: And I'm just curious to hear your thoughts of that,
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 3: because many of you were either children in the Great
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 3: Depression or your your grandparents or your parents were lived
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 3: through the Great Depression. Do you believe that today's kids,
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 3: today's Gen Z kids have it worse off than people
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 3: who survived the Great Depression? Nine oh one two six
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 3: zero five nine two six is our telephone number. That's
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 3: Harvard did a study in the fall of last year.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 3: They called it their Harvard Youth Poll. Only thirteen percent
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 3: of eighteen to twenty nine year old said the country
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 3: was headed in the right direction. So they they're being
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 3: taught that you middle class upper middle class America, that
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 3: you are hoarding the wealth and they deserve it. They
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 3: want what you work for, but they don't want to
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 3: work for it. Nine oh one two six zero five
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 3: nne two six our number. That's nine oh one two
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six. This is the Tom
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 3: Stern Show. All right, welcome back. This is the Todd
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 3: Sterns Radio Show. Let's go to the phone lines. Westminster,
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 3: South Carolina. Jan is on the line. Hi, Jan, what's
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 3: on your mind today?
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 13: Hi, Yesdir, It's good to talk to you. I was
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 13: just going to tell you a couple of little stories
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 13: about my parents, who were born in nineteen seventeen and
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 13: nineteen eighteen, and their Depression era experiences. My mom and
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 13: dad were born in Winston and Walker County in North Alabama.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 13: Grew up on small farms and they remember picking cotton
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 13: in well. They did it in ten foot long cotton sacks,
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 13: and at the end of the row they would have
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 13: watermelon vine's planet so they could sit down and have
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 13: something refreshing. But that ten foot long cotton sack flung
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 13: across their shoulders brought ten cents. My aunt Helen, who
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 13: was born in nineteen twenty nine, remembers that when the
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 13: government would come to the area, and that's what she said,
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 13: when the government men would come, they would hide their
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 13: stacks of flour and sugar up in the rafters of
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 13: the barn so they wouldn't be confiscated. So no, I
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 13: don't think the Gen X generation had it worse than
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 13: what our folks did.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 3: No, it's you know, it's interesting when you look at
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 3: Gen Z and I think they overstate, greatly, overstate their
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 3: their anxiety.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 3: The reality is, yeah, home prices are very high right now,
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 3: no doubt about that. I think the average starter home
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 3: well over two hundred thousand dollars. And if you're making
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 3: you know, seventy seventy five thousand dollars a year, well,
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 3: you're going to have a hard time. You're gonna have
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 3: a hard time covering that nut. Now, I will say this.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 3: I know when my dad, you know, we went through
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 3: the oil the energy crisis back in the seventies and eighties,
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 3: and my dad's job depended on that, and so Dad
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 3: had to go out and get a second job to
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 3: make ends meet. So sometimes you just have to suck
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 3: it up, jan and you got to do what you
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 3: gotta do to make ends meet.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 6: That's right.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 13: When we were my husband and I were at house
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 13: fine age and time interest rates. We're seventeen percent under
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 13: Jimmy Carter, So there was no house in our future,
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 13: and we just did what.
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 6: We had to do.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 13: You know, it's and if you don't have that mentality,
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 13: you never get anywhere.
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 3: It's a it's a fair point. Jan it's a fair point.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 3: And and yes, times are tough for kids. And you know, again,
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 3: when you take a look at how we structure our
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 3: families and our lives, there are some cultures and they
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 3: just don't get. They don't get why everybody leaves home
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 3: at like eighteen or nineteen years old, or why grandma
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 3: and grandpa are living in a home. You know, it's there.
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 3: There used to be a time in this country when
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 3: multiple generations lived under the same roof or sometimes on
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 3: the same piece of property. So again, times have changed,
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 3: and there's nothing wrong with times changing. But the reality
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 3: is there's no way that kids today have it as
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 3: worse off than the kids who grew up during the
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 3: Great Depression years.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 6: No, there's not.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 13: The stories they tell and the stories they won't tell, yes,
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 13: I think, which are even more more important than once.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 13: They won't tell the hardship, all right, and I appreciate
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 13: I appreciate your showy.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 3: Jan thank you for calling in nine oh one two
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six. Our telephone number, that's
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 3: I want to bring in our chief political strategist, Josh
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 3: Jones into the conversation. Josh, I'm curious about your family.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 3: You know your family. You grew up on a farm
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 3: or in the country. Uh, as did my grandparents. You know,
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 3: back in the nineteen thirties during the Great Depression. You
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 3: know what they took to school for lunch? Josh Jones.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 3: I don't I want you to say, Todd, what what
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 3: did your grandparents they? They had bread and bacon grease
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 3: and that's how they would make bacon grease sandwiches. Yum, yum.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 15: Yeah. I haven't heard that before, but I don't doubt it, which.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 3: May actually be tastier than I don't know, avocado toast.
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 3: But you know, who am I? Who am I to judge? Josh?
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 3: It's it's good to see you. I know you've been
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 3: out and about on the campaign trail. This is your
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 3: busy season and today we are looking at decision day
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 3: in America. Four states holding primaries, one of them actually
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 3: holding a run off. That's a South Carolina. What's what's
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 3: the big headline coming out of today?
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 16: Look, I think looking at the Democrats side of they are,
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 16: I think that might be where the story is today.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 15: Obviously there's some competitive Republican primaries.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 16: Happening, but in New York you have a big battle
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 16: happening for the future of the Democratic Party and their ideology.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 16: You have the AOC Bernie Sanders crowd that are running
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 16: all these candidates against the Democrat House delegation in New York.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 16: So you're going to have this competition between New York
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 16: and between the AOC socialist wing of the party and
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 16: you have more traditional blue dog Democrats.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 15: So I think that's going to be a real bell weather.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 16: We've already seen, you know, in LA and then also
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 16: in New York with these mayor races, Democrats are turning
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 16: to the left.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 3: So when when you look at at New York, I'm
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 3: fascinated by this because it really is going to tell
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 3: I think the rest of the nation exactly where these
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 3: Democrats are going to go. And I think I think
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 3: they're moving to the left. Josh, I may be misreading
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 3: the tea leaves here, but I think they're going to
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 3: the left.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I think you're Ryan.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 16: I think a lot of Americans, whenever you know, your
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 16: average voter starts tuning in over the next couple months
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 16: as we get closer to the actual mid terms, if
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 16: Republicans do their job and message correctly, you know, get
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 16: out there on the campaign trial like they should, I
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 16: think a lot of voters are going to go, wait
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 16: a second, this is not the Democratic Party of not
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 16: even just ten years ago. They've run so far to
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 16: the left ever since really twenty sixteen after Hillary loss,
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 16: and then he had Biden come in and be way
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 16: more progressive than he have been historically in the Senate,
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 16: and then in twenty twenty four O's he had Kamala Harris.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 16: So I think a lot of people are going to
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 16: take a Democratic Party this November and go, wait a second,
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 16: this is a socialist party that doesn't represent our values,
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 16: whereas the Republican Party is no more focus on those
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 16: tradition kitchen table issues.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 3: I think there and on the other side of the aisle,
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 3: there is an interesting runoff in South Carolina. The gubernatorial
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 3: race between the lieutenant governor who got the President's endorsement
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 3: and Alan Wilson, who seems to be picking up every
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 3: other endorsement in the state, including from our good friend
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 3: Ralph Norman, who's a member of the House Freedom Caucus.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 3: What do you think is going on down there in
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 3: South Carolina?
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 15: Yeah, you have an interesting situation in South Carolina.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 16: Like you mentioned, the President endorsed the current lieutenant governor
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 16: who's running for governor. She came in first in the
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 16: first round of voting back a couple of weeks ago.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 16: But you've kind of had everybody else in South Carolina
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 16: rally around the attorney general who's running for the Republican nomination.
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 16: So look, they're both good Republicans. At the end of
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 16: the day, I think it's going to be interesting. I think,
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 16: you know, it's another test of the president's endorsement to
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 16: see where the Republican voters might go. But look, the
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 16: state leadership and as you mentioned, rout Norman no for
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 16: Freedom Caucus member, you know, a solid conservative is you
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 16: know on this side of the Attorney journal here.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 15: I think, regardless of figure.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 16: Backing, whoever becomes the nominee out of this primary today
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 16: is the Republicans have to ride around in November.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 15: I think that's what they'll do.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 3: Josh Jones joining us on our Patriot Mobile news maker line. Josh.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 3: A very interesting Senate race out of Texas. James tall Rico,
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 3: he's like the gift that keeps on giving for Republicans.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 3: Now some newly resurfaced audio where he says he hates Christianity.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 3: Let's take a listen to that. Police.
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 17: Yeah, and that's you know, I always think of myself
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 17: as a Christian who hates Christianity up right, and like
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 17: I always get always get dropped back into it.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 3: So there you have it. He's a theologian who hates Jesus.
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 3: How do you think that plays out there in the
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 3: deep in the heart of Texas.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 16: Yeah, I don't think James Alrico is going to be
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 16: doing very well in the election in November. And look,
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 16: Democrats every every cycle, they think that's when Texas is
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 16: going to go blue. And they thought James tall Rico is,
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 16: you know, doing what they always run us, this moderate
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 16: who you know is middle of.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 15: The road and isn't crazy and she's just a traditional Democrat.
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 16: And then all this stuff comes out that everybody was
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 16: already saying from the beginning it was going to come out.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 16: But all this stuff comes out of him being this
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 16: radical leftist who's running like a moderate. I think, you know,
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 16: Texas voters are smart, they're not going to fall for this,
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 16: and you know, can Packson will easily win in November.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 3: Here's how crazy that this whole story is not even
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 3: Jasmine Crockett, and you know she is. She is off
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 3: the charts, insane. She doesn't want to have anything to
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 3: do with this guy.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 14: Uh not.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 3: I don't think she's going to be campaigning for him.
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 3: But I think the bigger story is Black voters in Texas,
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 3: especially Democrats, are very religious, very conservative, and Josh, I
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 3: have to imagine they're going to be turned off by
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 3: this sort of you know, I hate Christianity or Jesus
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 3: was an anarchist kind of stuff.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, James cal Rico is totally off base here,
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 16: totally insane and also too mind you, it's June. We
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 16: still have plenty of time and go between now and
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 16: November for more stuff that come out about this guy,
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 16: and I guarantee it will.
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 15: So I think Texas voters are already.
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 16: Paying attention because they're just seeing how crazy this guy
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 16: is to get started with, especially as Republicans ramp up
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 16: their campaign heading into November.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 15: I think Ken Paxson is very easily going to be
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 15: the next Senator from Texas.
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 16: So but if you're a Democrat watching, send your money
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 16: to Texas because you can definitely.
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 3: Win, no doubt about that. Here's Tall Rico talking about
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 3: his whiteness and his masculinity. Take a listen.
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 12: I should mention you know, my imagination is also just
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 12: limited by my own my own background and identity right
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 12: my own my whiteness, my masculinity, all those things limited
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 12: my imagination about what's possible. So I have to continually
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 12: press against that to try to expand the limits of
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 12: what I'm dreaming of for our for our community and where.
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 2: You know, Doc Drummer, your book helps me do that,
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 2: and podcasts like this helped me do that.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 3: What in the world is this guy talking about? I
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 3: don't understand. So he's got a problem that he was
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 3: born white and he was born a man. And the
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 3: last time I said something about this, Esquire Magazine took
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 3: me to the woodshed because I'm just wondering how exactly
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 3: does he come to terms with his masculinity, you know,
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 3: if he's wearing frilly underpants or whatever. I don't know.
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 15: I don't care.
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 3: I'm just wondering, what does this mean?
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 16: Josh Jones, this guy's insane and look Democrats from the beginning,
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 16: he's trying to say, this guy's a moderate and then
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 16: he's talking about stuff like this. I mean, who in
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 16: Texas If you walk up to a voter in Texas
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 16: and say, what's the biggest issue on your mind right now?
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 16: What's affecting you every day? No one is saying anything
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 16: he's saying. No one's talking about their masculinity, nobody's talking
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 16: about their whiteness. People are talking about the cost some gas,
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 16: the cost some groceries, the cost of buying a house
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 16: like you were talking about before.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 15: Nobody is talking about this.
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 16: And this is a typical Democrats love to say, Oh,
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 16: Republicans try to divide people and divide Americans on all
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 16: these cultural war issues. By the end of the day,
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 16: if you look at Republican messaging, particularly in Texas, as
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 16: someone who does a lot of work down in Texas,
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 16: we're focused on the cost of living and getting.
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 15: The price down for working families in Texas.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 16: Democrats, meanwhile, are out here talking about their whiteness and
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 16: their masculine and how.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 15: Much they hate themselves. So we'll see which one residents
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 15: with photer Is this no member?
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's gonna be a no brainer. By the way,
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 3: I know you live in DC. Have you seen the
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 3: algae people out there on the mall?
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 16: These people are insane. These people are literally insane. No,
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 16: I haven't personally seen them, but I've been following it
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 16: on Twitter. I haven't been done to the reflecting pool
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 16: quite yet, but these people are literally mentally unwell.
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 3: All right, well, we will leave it there. Josh Shones
• 1:46:49

• 1:48:38
  Speaker 3: matter is that he's a woman. I mean, that's really
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 3: the bottom line here. The guy is the guy behaves
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 3: like a woman, it's insane. This is cut number sixteen place.
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 18: There have been a tax on your masculinity, on lives
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 18: about your sexuality, attacks on your partner.
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 2: They've been like on a level ten twelve.
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 18: Sure Paxton has even begun to call you low t Tallarico.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 19: What's your response to that? Honestly, I had to look
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 19: up what that meant. I don't think, guys my age,
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 19: you're really concerned about.
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 2: That kind of thing.
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 19: But I think that these nicknames and these personal attacks
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 19: don't actually.
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 2: Don't actually meet the needs of Texas.
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 19: Right everywhere I go across the state, all I hear
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 19: about is how folks are drowning, how those ends at
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 19: the end of the month never seem to meet, and how.
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 2: People can't get by.
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 19: They can't afford the basics groceries and gas and insurance
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 19: and prescription drugs, the things we need to survive, and
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 19: they're looking desperately for elected leaders who are actually going to.
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 2: Solve their problems.
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 19: And so when you see Ken Paxton and the Republican
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 19: Party attacking me personally, attacking my girlfriend, attacking my church,
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 19: my pastor, I think he exposes the fact that they
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 19: have no clue how to get this economy back on track.
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 19: They have no solutions to lower people's costs and raise
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 19: their pay So if they have no affirmative argument to
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 19: make the voters, I think that that is a good
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 19: sign for our chances in November.
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 3: Uh huh so, girlfriend, all right, that's in the uh
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 3: yeah the ghost quotes there. Girlfriend. So look, here's the deal,
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 3: the reason why they call him low T Tallarico. The
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 3: more guy said, I don't know. I really don't know
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 3: what that means. Well, it means you got no testosterone
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 3: pal that's what it means. And you can eat all
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 3: the brisket in Texas. And I don't think that's gonna
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 3: work for you. I really don't. But anyway, tall Rico's
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 3: out there, and the New York Post has a big
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 3: story up up about one of his one of his
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 3: key mentors, being some sort of a transgender queer wackadoodle.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 3: Never seen anything like it, but this guy. It's a
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 3: pardon me, I said, transgender wackadoodle. It's a trans queer LATINX. No,
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 3: I'm not making this up. It's in The New York
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 3: Post for crying out loud. The author Ryan King, meet
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 3: the trans queer LATINX theologian who continues to inspire James
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 3: tell Rico. Tell Rico says that the theologian was his source,
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 3: his major source of inspiration for his left wing philosophy.
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 3: When you started following me on Twitter, I couldn't contain
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 3: my inner fanboy because I read your book last year
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 3: and continues to inspire me. That's what he told. Roberto
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 3: Henderson Espinoza, who I think is a woman. I think
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 3: I don't hold me to that, but the word king
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 3: theory is this dude's a woman. Now, I don't know
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 3: of many I'm just gonna say this, I don't know
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 3: of many gay Texans who would be fan boying over
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 3: a transqueer LATINX. But who knows. Crazier things have happened
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 3: in the load Star State. But there you have it. Everybody.
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 3: I think tall Ico gets gets a whoopan in November.
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 3: That's what I think is going to go on with
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 3: this guy. Yeah, I'm looking at Roberto. I think he
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 3: may be he may have been a Roberta at one
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 3: time in his life, Big Roberta. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
