• 0:10
  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.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: American.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Ud starts Wendy. All right. As near as I can
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: tell everybody, it looks as though Iran and the United
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: States have decided to go on spring break. Hello, everybody,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: welcome to the Tom Sterns Radio program. What an honor
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: to have you with us today. And I know a
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: lot of you are going to want to weigh in
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: on what happened last night where the President has agreed
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: to a two week hiatus in whatever is going on
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: over in Iran. Now, I just want to say something
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: right out of the gate. I have a lot of
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: questions about what's going on here, a lot of questions,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: and I'm sure you do as well. And I also
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: have a few well frustrations as well with how the
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: administration is handling all of this. Now, the reality, ladies
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen, is that the Iranians are a very dangerous country,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: no doubt about it. And I'm not sure that the
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: White House is making the right play here. Now. I
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: want to you know, I'm always a clock watcher, and
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I know I get a lot of I just people
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: give me a hard time about this. I don't know why,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: but I you know, I like being on time. I
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: mean radio, it's all about timing. You've got to make
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: sure you hit your brakes and you start the show
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: of you. I mean, the microphone's open and I'm not here,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: you get dead air, and nobody likes that. So I'm
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: all about watching the clock. And a lot of you
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: folks were giving me grief early on, early on in
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: the first first couple of months of the administration, when
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I started to point out some issues regarding how quickly
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: President Trump's agenda was moving through Congress, and it really
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: wasn't it. Things were getting clogged up. And I tried
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: to explain at the time that we don't have a
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: lot of time. You know, well, the president's got four years. No,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the president has two years, and he really doesn't even
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: have two years. He really has one and a half
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: years to get things done. And the reason why is
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: because Congress is so focused on getting re elected the
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: midterms are by the time, by the time summer reaches us,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: it's all over. Nothing else is going to be done,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Nothing else is going to be accomplished. That's it. So
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: we're looking at May and June and then everybody's back home.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Everybody is out there on the camp trail. So we
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: just have a very small fraction of time that we're
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: working with here, and and that is a great concern
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: to me. So when we did all of this, and
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: let me just stop here for a moment, I don't, honestly, genuinely,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I have no idea why we're why we're battling Iran
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: right now. But I want to put a caveat on
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: that Iran should have been wiped off the face of
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: the earth back in nineteen seventy nine. And again we
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: talked about this yesterday. President every single president from Jimmy
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Carter all the way up to Joe Biden kicked that
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: can down the road. That's that's that was a problem. So, yes,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Iran should have been destroyed. But I feel like now
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: we're just playing games with him. And I'm not sure.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: You know, first it was not regime change. Now it's
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: regime change. Now it's back to not being regime change.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Pete Haggs earlier today, I think caused confusion during the
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: press conference when he talked about about wiping Is the
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: president prepared to wipe out Iran entirely? And heg Seth
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: he heads the question, but he said something that that's
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: that doesn't concern me, and I don't. Look, we cannot be.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: We cannot be signaling to the enemy what we plan
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: to do, right. We just can't do that. But it
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: was something else that Hegsas said that really caught my attention.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: He said, quote, this is a terror regime, a military regime.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: They fund their military and terror camps. We had targets,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: They knew the scope of what we were capable of.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: We hit some military targets on carg Island, which is
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: a bit of a signal they can't defend it. Iran
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: ultimately understood their ability, their future to produce, to generate
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: power to fuel their terrorist regime was in our hands,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: was in President Trump's hands. That is why they came
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: back to the table full stop. So if we are
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: to if we are to believe what the Secretary of
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: War is telling us, that the terror regime is still
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: a terror regime, and the terror regime wants to be
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: a terror regime, which is why they wanted a pause.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: And I do wonder ladies and gentlemen, if this is
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: a good move for the president to make here, because
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: we know immediately after the ceasefire was declared, the two
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: week spring break was declared, that Iran started launching barrages
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: of missiles at four or five other countries, including Israel.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: And the argument is, well, you know, it takes a
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: little bit of time to get the you know, Begseth
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: made a joke about, well we got to get the
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: little carrier pigeons and you know they gotta fly because
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: they don't have any communication and it's going to take
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: a little bit of time. Well, well, exactly how much
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: how much time are we talking about? Is it possible
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: that Iran could use these next couple of weeks to regroup,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: to replenish their weapons supplies, to hide whatever it needs
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: to be hidden. Is it possible that Russia and China
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: could be helping to replenish and provide them with the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: missiles and the drone technology, because we do believe that
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: has been going on. And then you've got the America
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: First crowd, or these AMGA influencers and we call them
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Podcast to Stan. These podcast to stannies are out there
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: and one minute they're attacking President Trump for being a
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: war criminal, and now that he's not blowing Iran up,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: they're accusing him of being a chicken. What is the
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: phrase that taco? They called it taco Tuesday yesterday somebody
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: were like, why are they Why is everybody talking about tacos? Well,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: it's because that stands for Trump always chickens out' That's
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: what that means, and that's what they're saying. So those
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: are not serious people. Yours truly, I, to some extent,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: am a warhawk. I do believe that when the United
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: States is in danger, then we must take action, and
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: we must take action quickly, which is why I have
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: been very supportive of the President's position here. I think
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: yesterday just really really concerns me because it makes me
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: wonder if we really are backing off here and we're
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: looking for an exit ramp. That's that's what I and
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I say that because there was a moment where I'm
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: looking through the General General Kane Raisin Caine was out
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: there and he was talking about listing off all the
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: amount of food that the military troops had eaten, and
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: the amount of coffee they drank, and the amount of
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: energy beverages, and they went on and on and on
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and on, and I thought to myself, as as I'm
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: listening to all of this, it sounds like we're leaving, right.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: It sounds like that we're just we're packing up, We're
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: getting ready to get out of there. That's what it.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I mean that. That's how it came across to me,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: like why is this and work? Why is this important?
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Unless we're just kind of like doing an end game
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: rundown here of here's what all we accomplished, and here's
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: you know what we ate, and here's what we drank.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: So my question now is what what actually did we
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: accomplish here? Did we get all the plutonium? Did we
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: really did we really completely eliminate Iran as a global
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: defender and supporter of terrorism? Or did we just blow
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: a lot of stuff up? And And is that it?
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I'm just wondering is that it? And here's here's why
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I say this, Going back to the clock. They told
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: us the war was gonna last four to five weeks max.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: We're on what week seven? Six? Week seven? I'm yeah,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: I've got lost in my care. So now we know
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: it's it's at least going to go additional two more weeks.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: That puts us into April. Now, if the Iranians keep
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: shooting off missiles and blowing things up, then we're gonna
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: have to step back in. Otherwise we're gonna look like,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: you know, like we're wusses. I mean, that's ultimately what
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: it'll look like. So we'll have to go back in.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: So you're looking at the potential of us still being
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: in some sort of an armed conflict deep into the
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: summer months. I mean, if this looking and that is
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: that is a that's the minimal estimate here. And so
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: then the war becomes the campaign issue, and that's going
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: to be a big deal because all the Democrats oppose
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: it because they hate America and they love the Islamist
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: where they really don't love the Islamist. They fear the
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Islamist and they don't want to get blown up, so
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: they pretend to love them, but they hate us. They
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: hate America, the Democrats do. So they're going to be
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: they're going to be mobilized. And you've seen all the marches,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: and those things don't matter all that much to me,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: but it will show there is momentum. And I say
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: that because there's also another anti American bunch, and that's
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: the podcast to dandies who are out there opposing the
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: president and his decision to go to war in the
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: first place. So we could be marching ourselves into a
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: midterm where the Republican voters and the base of the
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: party are somewhat demoralized. They're confused, they don't know what's
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: going on, because ultimately, this administration was really this term
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: in office was really supposed to be about domestic policy,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: and let's get real, it's really been about global domination
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: for this president. And look, as long as it makes
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: America safer and stronger, I got no problem with that.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: But you also have to tend to the home fires,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: and those are still those are still burning in dumpsters,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: and we haven't gotten a lot accomplished. And the concern
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I have is this, are we cutting bait?
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: Here?
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Is that what's really going on? Are we cutting bait?
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: And if so, declare victory and leave. I guess. But
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to tell you something. The language of
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: our president has power, and I'm just going to tell
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: you that the American there was a large swath of
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: the American people, and I just want to talk about
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: the Trump supporters here, and they believe every single word
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: this president says. They take this president when he's when
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: the President of the United States is putting out a statement,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: they take that to heart. And I'm telling you there
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: were some die hard Trump supporters out there who were
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: terrified that there was going to be some sort of
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: a nuclear conflict.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Last night.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I was leaving going back home and after the NEWSMAC
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: show last night, and I ran into a sweet lady.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: She was walking her dog and she made a bee
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: line over. I was doing a I was just wrapping
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: up a staff meeting on the cell phone. I was
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: juggling groceries and she came over and she says, you're
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Todd Sterns. I said, yes, ma'am, I am. She says,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I listen to the show every day, and I said, well,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: thank you. And she had this cute little dog. It was,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I know, one of those little of me, you know what,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: I had, the metrosexual personals, you know, tell them the
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: kind of furry they're kind of like just a little
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: bit larger than a you know, a cat. But the
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: beautiful little thing I dis She looked at me and
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: she said, is there going to be nuclear war tonight,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: and it just caused me to I just stopped for
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: a moment and I said, I don't think so, ma'am.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: I think we're gonna be okay. I think we're gonna
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: be okay. So all that to say, if this White
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: House is going to bring us to the brink, we
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: need a better explanation than what we got. That's all
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: I'm saying about it. It's I think a lot of
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: people are they don't know what to feel. They don't
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: know what to feel, and on this program, ladies and chentlemen,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: I don't work off any talking, but I really don't.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I don't and I get the emails. I get I
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: get the hate, and I that's okay. But I think
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: a lot of people are just confused and they're frustrated
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: because deep down, I think we all know that the
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: regime in Iran has not been decimated and that they
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: are just as deadly and as dangerous today as they
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: were yesterday and the day before. Nine oh one two
• 14:11

  Speaker 2: the phone lines, North Carolina. Keith listening to us on
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: the talk station. I'm Keith, what's on your mind?
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: Excuse me?
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: All right, let's put Keith on hold and let's get
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: him ready to go, guys. So we'll get back to
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Keith in a moment. Let's go to Richard and o'calla
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Florida WOCA. Richard, go tday, mister.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: Todd thinks to take my call. Todd, I'll try to
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: be quick as far as the war goes. I think
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: we need to finish the job. Their Reigntings has lied
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: to us and killed us and murderers and been all
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: doing these things for forty seven years. They're not going
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: to change. I think we have to finish the job,
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: and nobody. I don't think we've had another president that
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: had the nerve to do it for whatever reason. If
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: Trump don't do it, I don't think it's going to
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: get done. And if he don't finish, i'd be even six
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: months or a year, they'll be just as bad. Or worse.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: And you're right, the Russians has been supplying them with
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: weapons for decades. They're liable to give them the news
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: that everybody's worried that Trump's going to use. You know
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: what I'm saying. I think he needs to finish it.
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: And as far as the domestic issues, mister Todd, the
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: President got in there and made all kind of executive
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: orders and tried to get these things done, but Congress
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: has to make him permanent. I mean, he can't do
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: that on his own. I blame Congress for the domestic issues.
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: Trump has proven he's trying to best interest for America
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: making and signing these things in the effect, but if
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: they don't, if Congress don't pass them, then what officers
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: do we have? So I blame the Congress for that.
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: And I think we need to take hands off and
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: let the president fight the war. And I don't I mean,
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: if he just knew for that, you know, that's in
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: his ballpark, not mine. I mean, we don't want that.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: We don't want boots on the ground. We don't have to.
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: But what's the use of having a military if you
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: don't use it when you need it?
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Richard, here's me and I think ultimately, this is what
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: bothers me about all of this is we did this
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: in Iraq when George H. W. Bush was in office.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: We didn't go all the way, We did not finish
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: the job, and as a result, we all know what
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: happened after that, and you can extrapolate nine to eleven
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: and a lot of other horrible things that happened as
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: a result of us leaving before we finish the job here.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: So if you are going to go to war with
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: the country, you're gonna have my support, President Trump, But
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: you gotta finish the job. And I'm tired of playing around.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: It's like we're pussy footing around here. Either get in
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: there and get the job done, because, honestly, Richard, my
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: concern is every single day that you're on spring break
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: is a day that the Iranians are working and trying
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: to figure out a way to kill American soldiers.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: I agree one hundred percent they might be loading back
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: up with weapons and missiles right in the next two weeks,
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: and this seat fire is just prepping for the next barraj.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: I think he should have finished it at eight o'clock
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: last night, I really do. But that's just my.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Opinion, sir, well, I know, and it's a fair opinion.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: And Richard, I appreciate that. Honestly, he should have finished
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: it the first week of this nonsense. But again, the
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: President's got a plan, so let's see what happens. I
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: do want to ask a question, Vietnam War veterans, World
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: War two veterans, Korean Conflict veterans. Did you guys take
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: a two week holiday, a two week spring break during
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: the middle of hostilities? I don't think so. This is
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: something new Gulf War folks. Nine oh one two six
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. Our telephone number, that's nine
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. This
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: is the Ton Sterns Show. All right, welcome back to
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: the Ton Sterns Radio Show. Do you support President Trump's
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: decision here to go on a two week hiatus and
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: see I see if Iran is going to follow through
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: with whatever terms they've come up with, give us a call.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: That's not on two six zero five nine two six.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Let's go to North Carolina. I think we've re established
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: contact with Keith. What's on your mind?
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: Thank you for hanging on with me.
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: There.
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: I had one of those sudden costs that knee up
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: on you. In November of nineteen seventy nine, I was
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: on the hangar deck of the Tarawa, fully locked and loaded,
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: and we had helicopters I'd link up upon the deck.
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: We were about to go in and take our embassy back.
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: And then that's whenever that not Carter, but who was
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: elected after him, Reagan. Reagan was elected and they told
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: us to stand down. And it had Reagan not been elected,
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: imagine this, maybe none of this would have been possible.
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: All it needed because Carter was going to send us in.
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: Our job was to take that embassy back and to
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: get our our hostages.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Now, it was my understanding that Delta Force, you know,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: they sent in Delta Force to try and stage a rescue,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: and uh, there was that was a horrible tragedy. My
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: understanding is that as soon as as soon as Ronald
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Reagan was sworn into office put his hand on the Bible,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: those hostages were released. So you're saying that what Reagan.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: I don't understand what you're saying here, Keith.
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: You're right, Delta Force that they had their mishaf on
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: the beach. We were sitting on the flight deck to
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: go in and parachute in and not parasue, but helicopter
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: in to the actual embassy to get to start there
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: work a way out to take care of everything.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: But it was Jimmy Carter who pulled the plug on that. Yes, yes, okay.
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: Once Reagan was elected, the Ayatola decided he didn't want
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: to mess with it, so he let us go.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: That is correct, Keith. And again it goes back to
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: this should have been taken care of back in nineteen
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: seventy nine, the day we should have said, you know
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: what you've got. And I'm just tired of these constant
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: you know, deadlines. We're gonna give you forty eight hours,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: we're gonna give you seventy two hours. We're gonna give
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: you a week, and forget about all of that. You
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: tell them you either release our people now or we're
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: gonna unleash. I mean, that's the way. That's the only
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: thing these people understand. The Islamist only understand brute force. Keith,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: thank you for the call. Mine O one two six
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six is our number. That's nine
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. No,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not in a bad mood. I'm just I am
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: frustrated because we've been down this path so many times. Washington,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: d C. Is so corrupt, ladies and gentlemen, it really is.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: It's beyond the pill by the way. And the other
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: issue is you've got these idiots in the mainstream media.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: This is Lawrence O'Donnell from PMS. Now take a listen.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: That brilliant rescue was described by the Secretary of Defense
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: and by General Dan Kine, the Chairman of the Joint
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Chiefs of Staff, as a longstanding American military rule of
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: never leaving anyone behind.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: We leave no man behind.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: That is, of course, the old school version of the idea,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: back when only men flew American military place. General dan Kine,
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, put it
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: this way, we leave no one behind. The General knows,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: unlike Pete, hegseeth that that could have been a woman
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: they were trying to rescue and it might be a woman.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: The next time, I just can't Lawrence O'Donnell, What a moron. Yeah,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Alchemy didn't say no person, It could have been a woman.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: This guy literally thinks that if it had been a woman,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: that hag Seth may not have even sent anybody in
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: the gutter. That's what this guy is saying. You have
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: to use generic pronouns. Unbelievable. This guy, you know, Lawrence O'Donnell,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: this guy is a quintessential jackass. That's what that guy is.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: And this is the problem I've got. We have an
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: incompetent mainstream media and they don't care anything about covering
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: the war. They don't even they don't even want to
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: understand how dangerous Iran is. And by the way, you say, well, Todd,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: how do you know, Because that's what President Donald J.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Trump told us, that's what George W. Bush told us,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: That's what Ronald Reagan told us, That's what h. W. Bush.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: And that's even what Bill Clinton told us. What about
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Maraccusine Obama? No Obama gave him money. They're all pals.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Something tells me they all may well, I don't want
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: to go to that anyway. Whussin Obama. There's a clue there.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: So if you're wondering why I'm concerned, because they're telling
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: us that these guys had the capability of doing nukes.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: We know that our ballistic missiles have It's like hitting
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: a bullet with a bullet if one of those things
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: goes off and we lose an American city, and I
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: don't want to an American city, and I'm sure you
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: don't either. So if we're gonna do this, let's do it.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: And I will say this, I think that that Trump
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: got so much blowback from his own people in the
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: White House over the comments about ending the Iranian civilization.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: I will say that that language is probably what caused
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Iran to plead their case. But do you really think
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: they've surrendered? Do you really think that we got all
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: the platonium? Do you really think that the regime is
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: going to change? Is that is that a concern of ours?
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: I know, and I look, I don't.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Israel's upset about all of this because Israel they're still
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: getting they're getting hit by the missiles, and I get that,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: But at what point do we Where do we go?
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: Now?
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: That's the big question. Where do we go?
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: hour telephone number that's nine oh one two six zero
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. While all of that is going on,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: you have a situation upon Capitol Hill with Maria Salazar
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: and She has introduced a piece of legislation called the
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Dignity Act. Now, we were so busy focusing on the
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: war that a lot of folks were not paying attention
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: to the fact that this has a lot of Republican support,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: and I suspect it's going to be it's going to
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: have the support of just about every member of the
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Democrat side of the isle as well. This legislation will,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: in fact, ladies and gentlemen, provide amnesty to as many
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: as twelve million legals that are currently in this country.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: It will also prevent the United States from deporting a
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: lot of people who may be in gang bases. So
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: they keep the that they keep military, they keep police
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: files of all the illegals that may be gang bangers.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: That's what this is doing. The fact of the matter
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: is we've got twenty five million illegals in this country
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: and apparently we're just not rounding them all up and
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: we're not kicking them out. Now, Salazar is out there
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: and she's on the record. I want you to listen
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: to Maria Salazar. This is her speaking. She's from Florida
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Republican CONGRESSOM and back in twenty twenty three at the
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: World Economic Forum, take a listen to cut.
• 28:49
  Speaker 9: Seven for a whole of the immigration system, because not
• 28:52
  Speaker 9: only we need those hands like the Congress that like us,
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: a senator was saying, but we need to also give
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: dignity to those people who are in the country. And
• 29:01
  Speaker 9: those are the people that I represent. We're talking about
• 29:03
  Speaker 9: thirteen fifty million people who are most of them Hispanics.
• 29:08
  Speaker 9: I would say eighty five percent who speak my language,
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: look like me, and sound like me, that are contributing
• 29:14
  Speaker 9: with the economy of this country, and they live in
• 29:16
  Speaker 9: the shadows. So it's time to seal the border, like
• 29:19
  Speaker 9: she said, put order. Let's see who comes in and
• 29:22
  Speaker 9: who doesn't, and then turn around and give dignity. That
• 29:25
  Speaker 9: doesn't mean path to citizenship. That means to include them
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: and make them dignified members of our community.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what it is. It is, and by the way,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: it's not even she called it. The Dignity Act is
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: what they're calling it, but the official language is actually
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: in Spanish Dignidad, the Dignidad Act. So that's all you
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: need to know about what Maria Salazar is trying to
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: do here, and if that happens, I'm just not sure
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: how the Republican base of the party is going to
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: react to that if that legislation actually gets through Congress.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: But she's got several dozen, just several dozen Republicans, and
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: if all the Democrats jump on board here, they're going
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: to stick it to the American people. And that is
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: that's the end of it, right there, folks, We'll get
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: I've got a lot more to say about this coming up. No,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not in a bad mood, Dylan, and I'm just
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: frustrated with the Republicans. All right, Let's go to Tom
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: in Salem, Oregon, listening to us on k Y k inn. Tom,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: Yes, I think Trump and this gang is doing it
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: just right because that gives in and us time to restock,
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: restock our arm armed you know, the weapons, can't say it.
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: And and also watch what the hell they're doing and
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: where they're going to dig out some of the stuff
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: that we help barry. So I think it's a good move.
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: And once you know, we see that they're violating it
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: and whether they're moving their people around to that, we
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: can then go and finish the job. I think there's
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: no problem with them. They don't have any fear of
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: finishing the job, that's sure, but we just need more
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: and more because and let our guys rest a little
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: bit and a half a week or so spring break.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's two weeks.
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think I'll be two weeks. And yeah,
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: I was just kind of thinking, well, maybe you're just
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: trying to stir us up a little bit.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: No, no, Tom, No, I don't stir you up. I
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: really don't. I mean, when I get behind this microphone,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: I just have I wear my emotions on my sleeve.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: And this is not, you know, a political theater here.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: I'm just genuinely frustrated and concerned because we are in
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: a precarious spot right now. When you look at what's
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: happening in New York City and how quickly they are
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: moving towards socialism. When you look at what's happening in Seattle,
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: in Texas, where the governor of Texas, the guy is
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: supposed to be a Republican saying this is Indian territory,
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: welcoming in just millions of Indian Indian Americans. You've got
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: mosques popping up all over America, and then you've got
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: this situation with Iran. It bothers me because maybe deep
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: down inside I knew this is what was going to happen.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: We're gonna, you know, we're gonna we're gonna get to
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: a point, we're gonna have a lot of rhetoric, They'll
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: reach some sort of a happy deal with for everybody,
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: and then we just go on our business. And Iron
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: still has the ability to make news.
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: I don't think so, but I'll sa you hit on
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: another good point, and I think we need to hammer
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: on how crazy the Democrats are and that they've even
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: form the middle of the rotors, that they've been taking
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: over the Socialist flash Communist Party, and we got the
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: commedies that want to kill us right in the country,
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: basically the mind numb robots that follow whatever the Dams
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: are saying. But we really need to hammer that before
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: the mid terms because I think a lot of the
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: Dems out there don't have a clue who's controlling their party.
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: They don't have an idea where tax money comes from.
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: It comes from businesses paying taxes and people paying taxes.
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: And if you're going to tax the shit out of them,
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: they're going to move out of your state.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: And all right, guy, we got to go there, guys. Sorry, folks,
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: got to mind your manners on the radio. Can't be
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: using the language. Nine oh one two six zero five
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: nine two six. Let's go to Steve and Little Rock, Arkansas. Hi, Steve,
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
• 33:54
  Speaker 10: Hey Chod, I'm really going to help you move today.
• 33:59
  Speaker 10: They realize we haven't ended a war with a peace
• 34:02
  Speaker 10: treaty and a signed agreement on our terms since World
• 34:07
  Speaker 10: War Two exactly.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: That is, Steve, You've just set me off again. I'm sorry.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I go ahead, finish your thought. Jesus Lood.
• 34:17
  Speaker 10: We're still under a ceasefire with North Vietnam after seventy
• 34:21
  Speaker 10: I mean North Korea after seventy four years. So I'm
• 34:28
  Speaker 10: like you, I don't feel too optimistic that we're going
• 34:32
  Speaker 10: to get any kind of signed agreement from Iran, that
• 34:37
  Speaker 10: they see the light and they're going to do what
• 34:41
  Speaker 10: is best for the rest of the world.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, Steve again, And it's a great point. We're
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: just not finishing. We're not finishing what we started. That's
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: the problem. And we've got to if we're gonna go
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: over there and we're gonna start blowing stuff up, putting
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: American lives on the line. We've got to finish the
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: job here. And I just I don't think the country.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: I think the ethos of the country has changed so
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: much from World War Two, Steve, that we actually forget
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: it was Democrats who were running the show.
• 35:13
  Speaker 10: Yeah, but it's also while a lot of Americans right
• 35:18
  Speaker 10: now are not in support their what their country is doing,
• 35:22
  Speaker 10: whether it's best form or not. It's just why I
• 35:26
  Speaker 10: don't say, here it goes again, you know, same old
• 35:29
  Speaker 10: thing we're going. It's it's like schoolyard politics, walking around
• 35:35
  Speaker 10: huff huffed up, trying to make somebody back down, and
• 35:38
  Speaker 10: nothing never really gets settled.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: It's it's a fair it's a fair point. You're you're raising, Steve.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: By the way, before I let you go, I'm glad
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: you called uh because there's some crazy stuff going down
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: around Little Rock with the rise of Islam and apparently
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Arkansas signed off on an Islamic community with Koran based
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Sharia rules. Are what in the world is happening in
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: the great state of Arkansas.
• 36:06
  Speaker 10: It's the same thing it's going on all over the country.
• 36:09
  Speaker 10: I know you're aware of it and stuff, but.
• 36:13
  Speaker 11: I don't know.
• 36:14
  Speaker 10: I don't I don't follow a Little Rock politic except much.
• 36:17
  Speaker 10: To be honest with you, I live about forty miles
• 36:21
  Speaker 10: north of Little Rock, so I probably should be more
• 36:25
  Speaker 10: involved in it, but I'm not. But it's uh, it's
• 36:30
  Speaker 10: it's many same thing that went on in Michigan.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: And wow, well let me say this, Yeah, Stephen, got
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: I gotta run. We're super late for a brink here.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: But they're saying that Arkansas is becoming little Saudi Arabia.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: So that's insane. All right, kind of take a break here,
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: and I know one two six zero five nine two six,
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: this is the Todd Sterns Show. All right, White House
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: press briefing is all got underway. No, I'm not in
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: a bad mood, Dylan?
• 37:03
  Speaker 12: Is it.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: The listeners who are saying I'm in a bad mood
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: is coming across like I'm in a foul mood today.
• 37:10
  Speaker 13: There are a few clouds outside. Maybe that's affecting something,
• 37:13
  Speaker 13: you know. It's mostly Sonny says.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: I need a doctor pepper, Yeah, couple, make it a double.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's what I need. And some os I can't
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: eat those. I'm gon blasted diets. Oh well, manah, people
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: might talk, people might I'm just saying, uh.
• 37:32
  Speaker 11: But.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: All right, So I will do my best to be
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: more cheerful in the next hour of the program. I
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: will I am making that I have no promises here.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: By the way, we're waiting for the White House press
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: briefing to kick in. We may have to dip into
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: some of that. I will keep you updated. Nine oh
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six is our
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero five,
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: nine two six. This is the Todd Sterns Show.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starts.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Samaritan and Hello everybody. Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Program.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Hour two underway. We are waiting for the White House
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: or having a press briefing, and we'll try to dip
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: into that. So Dylan just give me a holler when
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Caroline Levitt takes the podium there. We're also going to
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: be taking your calls. Do you believe President Trump made
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: the right call here or do you think we just
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: need to go in and finish the job in Iran?
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Our telephone number nine oh one two six zero five
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: nine two six that's nine oh one two six zero
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. Now, one of the things that
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of folks you may not be aware of this,
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: but there are a number of the Iranian malas, the
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: leaders the Islamist and they've actually sent their children and
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: their families to live here in the United States of America.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Now Fox News was talking about this just a little
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: while ago. I want you to take a listen to
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: this report.
• 39:37
  Speaker 14: What looks like is happening here is that these people
• 39:39
  Speaker 14: are propagandists. They're not just they're not refugees, they're not
• 39:43
  Speaker 14: asylum seekers. They go back and forth to Iran whenever
• 39:45
  Speaker 14: they want, but they're promoting propaganda, pro IRGC propaganda, and
• 39:50
  Speaker 14: teaching in schools in this country. They're essentially working for
• 39:54
  Speaker 14: the IRGC in this country. So we need to be
• 39:56
  Speaker 14: a heck of a lot better at looking at who's
• 39:59
  Speaker 14: coming in here. And I think that the Secretary of
• 40:01
  Speaker 14: State cracking down on these individuals is great. Masia Lenershot
• 40:05
  Speaker 14: has been flying these names out of her mouth for
• 40:07
  Speaker 14: a long long time saying these people need to go.
• 40:10
  Speaker 14: Of course, no one in the Biden administration listened. I
• 40:12
  Speaker 14: think that's changing now.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Well, I surely, hope. So my question is, why haven't
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: we already deported these people? Why were you? You're telling
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: me that some of the most dangerous terrorists in the world,
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: and we're letting their children, their offspring, their family members
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: live in America. We're letting them teach in our schools
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: and spew anti American propaganda on American soil, and we're
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: paying for all of this. It's insane, ladies, and just
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: absolutely insane. I want to go back, and one of
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: our callers in the last I think it was Steve
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: from Arkansas pointed this out that since going all the
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: way back, all of the wars that we fought, there's
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: only been one where a peace treaty was actually signed,
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: and that was to end World War Two. Every war
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: since then, it's it's it's and it don't want on
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: a ceasefire. I want to go to the phones here.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: Let's talk to Don in Houston, Texas on Patriot Talk
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: nine to Don. A lot of people are frustray. They're
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: saying that I need just to calm down, that Trump
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: knows what he's doing here.
• 41:19
  Speaker 12: What say you, Well, I don't know why you need
• 41:24
  Speaker 12: to calm down or not, but I don't think And look,
• 41:29
  Speaker 12: I love Trump.
• 41:31
  Speaker 10: I honestly do.
• 41:32
  Speaker 12: But you know we can't.
• 41:34
  Speaker 15: You can't quit halfway through.
• 41:37
  Speaker 11: Iran will lie.
• 41:39
  Speaker 10: They've proved it over.
• 41:40
  Speaker 7: And over and for a number of years.
• 41:42
  Speaker 15: So you can't accept what they say. You've got to
• 41:46
  Speaker 15: put them in a position where that's it. You shoot
• 41:50
  Speaker 15: one more missile at any country, regardless of whether it's
• 41:55
  Speaker 15: Israel or United State, you shoot one more missile about
• 41:58
  Speaker 15: the country, We're taking you out permanently. That's just my thoughts.
• 42:04
  Speaker 15: I mean, you cannot talk to a bully and have stopped.
• 42:09
  Speaker 12: You've got to show the bully you mean business.
• 42:12
  Speaker 11: And it's just they're not going to stop.
• 42:15
  Speaker 12: And I'm so sick and tired of our Republican Party
• 42:19
  Speaker 12: not doing what we elect them to do. You know,
• 42:23
  Speaker 12: I don't want to stop voting. I've voted for a
• 42:26
  Speaker 12: number of years, a great number of years, and I
• 42:29
  Speaker 12: don't want to just stop voting. But I'm so disgusted
• 42:32
  Speaker 12: with the Republican Party that I'm ready to throw up
• 42:35
  Speaker 12: my hands and just say, hey, you know, ruin the
• 42:38
  Speaker 12: country if that's what you want.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: To do, John, I hear you, and I don't want
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: you to. We we always have to vote because as
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: horrible as the Republicans are, the Democrats are evil and
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: their plans for all of us are evil, and we
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: have got to stop that. The the problem here is this,
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: and I want to give you an example, and don
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: thank you for that call. The problem is is this, ladies.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: And so Tuesday over in northwest Georgia, there was a
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: special election because Marjorie Taylor Green was a coward and quit.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: She ran away, she got butt hurt, and she quit
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: her job. She quit on the American people. So there
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: had to it.
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: There.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: There was a special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Green.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: And the good news here is that Clay Fuller actually
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: won that runoff race on Tuesday. But there's a problem,
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: and the problem is this that there was a twenty
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: five point shift to the Democrats in that congressional district.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: A let me repeat that, a twenty five point shift
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: to the left for the Democrats. Now, look, this is
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: a rock solid red, rock solid red pro Trump county
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: in or pro Trump district in Georgia, no doubt about it.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: And I have very little concerns that the Democrats are
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: going to be able to flip this in the midterms,
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: because again, mister Fuller is going to have to run
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: again in the midterm elections. I don't have a problem
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: with that. My concern is what about all those other
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: congressional districts out there that are a lot closer, maybe
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: they're slightly red or a little red ish if the
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: Republicans don't turn out in big numbers. And again it
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: was a special election, I know that, but again, the
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: Republicans just did not show up to vote. That's what's
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: going on here. Democrats were motivated, Republicans who are the majority,
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: stayed home, and this guy was still able to win.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: I think he won by twelve points. So it's a
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: very comfortable margin for Republicans no matter what. But when
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: you look at this as a whole, when you look
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: at all of the elections that have taken place from
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Virginia to New York City to Texas, Florida, it's very
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: clear that the Republican voters are just demoralized right now,
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: and they're just really frustrated. They're not seeing a lot
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: of things happen that were promised. They see Congress fighting
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: President Trump tooth and nail, and just remember the only
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: reason they the Republicans won Congress was because Donald Trump
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: was on the ticket. That's it. That's the only reason.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: And they barely wanted that. So we can't make any
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: mistakes on the Republican side of the aisle. That's what
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to say here. We can't make stupid decisions.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: We can't do dumb things. We just can't. We cannot
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: do that. We don't have we don't have the margins
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: to do that. Again, a twenty five point shift to
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: the left in Marjorie Taylor Green's old congressional district. If
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: if I'm a betting man, I'm I'm concerned about the
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: chances the Republicans are going to have unless we give
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: the voters something to celebrate and something to cheer. And
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have to tell me what that is. Is
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: that gas price is coming back down? Is that watching
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: more people get imported? It's almost as if and I
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: know that they are, the deportations are happening, but are
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: they really happening at the levels that they should be,
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: and that I don't know. It's all very they're all
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: very hush hush now about deportations, and so don't be
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: surprised at the end of the day, if we find
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: out that this administration really did not deport as many
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: people as they said they were going to. All right,
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: let's go to Mike in Morehead City, North Carolina. I'm Mike.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: What's on your mind today?
• 46:48
  Speaker 10: Hey Ton?
• 46:49
  Speaker 8: The first off, I'd just like to say, shame on
• 46:53
  Speaker 8: you for this world domination.
• 46:57
  Speaker 11: Comment.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: What do you mean shame on me?
• 47:01
  Speaker 8: Well, let me just say this. So somebody who has
• 47:05
  Speaker 8: the power to uh help someone and just sits back
• 47:10
  Speaker 8: and doesn't do it, who's really in the wrong there?
• 47:13
  Speaker 8: You know, Iranian people have been being killed left and right,
• 47:17
  Speaker 8: Venezuela pumping as many drugs as they could into America
• 47:21
  Speaker 8: and and nobody has done anything about it. We're just
• 47:24
  Speaker 8: going to sit back and hey, you know, so be it.
• 47:28
  Speaker 8: You know Trump has President Trump has actually he's actually
• 47:37
  Speaker 8: decided that that is that is wrong. And I'm telling you,
• 47:41
  Speaker 8: I'm living and we do need to finish the job.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: So why are you why are you coming out? Why?
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: Why are you a cute? What do you what are
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: you upset with me about?
• 47:50
  Speaker 8: Well, you said you had that world domination come in.
• 47:53
  Speaker 8: I just I'm gone, what you know? And he has
• 47:58
  Speaker 8: gone into two or three countries.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: What do you talk I haven't. So what did I
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: say about global domination? What did I say about global domination?
• 48:04
  Speaker 8: How was your opening statement? That was your opening state?
• 48:07
  Speaker 8: You need to go back and listen.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: No, no, you're calling in and you're making an accusation here.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: So I'm telling you that I believe the President should
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: finish the job in Iran and that we should we
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: should stop any threats to the United States of America.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: So how do you and I disagree here?
• 48:26
  Speaker 8: Well, I don't disagree with that. I don't disagree with
• 48:29
  Speaker 8: That's like I said, if if you have the power
• 48:32
  Speaker 8: to rescue these people, or to stop the drug trades,
• 48:38
  Speaker 8: you know, or to take care of a you know,
• 48:43
  Speaker 8: our enemies, you know, have a island just you know,
• 48:49
  Speaker 8: sixteen miles off our coast, you know. Yeah, I think
• 48:52
  Speaker 8: we should take care of that absolutely. And he's the
• 48:55
  Speaker 8: first one that said he guts to do it.
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: Well, I so, I I think you're misunderstanding what I
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: was saying, because you and I are saying the exact
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: same thing here. My concern is that we're pulling out
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: before we get the job done. And that's only because
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: there are people in the administration, and one of them
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: is a vice president who behind the scenes is opposed
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: to all of this and he doesn't think we ought
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: to be going down this path. Mike, I gotta run,
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: but thank you for the call. And by the way,
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: this is the other part of the thing, President Trump,
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: and I feel bad for the Iranian people. They don't
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: have any guns, they allow, but they allowed this to
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: happen to them. They just did. But what President Trump
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: said the other day is that the US tried to
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: arm the protesters. They were trying to funnel the guns
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: and the weapons through the Kurds, and then the Kurds
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: apparently kept all the guns. I'm just wondering, who did
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: anybody do a background check on the we were giving
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: all these weapons? Did we know any of this beforehand?
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: We're just randomly finding people and saying, hey, can you
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: get the Iranian protesters these guns? All of this is
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: all very confusing. Nine oh one two six zero five
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: nine two six. This is the Todd Stern Show. All right,
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: Charles in Gainesville, Georgia listening to us on w g
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: u N has a theory about all of this, All right, Charles,
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: what's your theory?
• 50:31
  Speaker 16: Okay? Yeah, I know yesterday.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: After he announced, Hey, Charles, Charles, hang, guys, hang tight, right,
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: do we have the do we have the president going
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: to the podium at all?
• 50:47
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: Were don't?
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: My apologies, All right, let's go back to Charles, my apologies.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 50:53
  Speaker 16: Yeah, Okay, I was thinking, you know, I got to
• 50:57
  Speaker 16: thinking while I was cutting the grass and joined the
• 50:59
  Speaker 16: sun shine, and you were kind of bringing me down
• 51:03
  Speaker 16: with your depression today.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: Oh a load, just a little joke, Charles, I mean
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: a good mood. Okay, okay, Charles, all right, go ahead
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: and go all right.
• 51:18
  Speaker 16: So you know yesterday when he announced, you know, the
• 51:23
  Speaker 16: time is ticking and the world's gonna come to an
• 51:26
  Speaker 16: end and all of that, you know, they started putting
• 51:30
  Speaker 16: people around all of the targets that he was going
• 51:33
  Speaker 16: to bomb. So if he did that, if he went
• 51:36
  Speaker 16: on a bomb that, you know, the world would collapse
• 51:39
  Speaker 16: around Trump. I think, you know, he's a he's a
• 51:42
  Speaker 16: war criminal and blah bah blah dah dah. So my
• 51:47
  Speaker 16: theory is he went forward with this cease fire knowing
• 51:51
  Speaker 16: that they're not going to abide by it, which they haven't,
• 51:57
  Speaker 16: to allow them to you know, the people to disperse
• 52:01
  Speaker 16: and then when they're not looking, so to speak, damn
• 52:05
  Speaker 16: goes and hits the targets and the people aren't there.
• 52:08
  Speaker 16: So I think probably by the weekend we'll be back
• 52:13
  Speaker 16: to bombing, because I don't think they're going to adhere
• 52:15
  Speaker 16: to this be fire.
• 52:17
  Speaker 11: Just my thought.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: No, look, it's a good thought, and I think you know,
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: they're they're trying to say, well, you know, not everybody
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: got the message in Iran to stop firing the missiles,
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: which is why we you know, had all of the
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: attacks last night. And that may be the case, but
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: I think tonight's going to be the real task. I mean,
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: if they're still sending over, you know, missiles, at some
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: point we just have to pull the plug on this
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: and and put us put a stop to it. Charles.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: Do you think though, that we need to have a
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: decisive victory here, a complete surrender of Iran at the
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: end of the day.
• 52:53
  Speaker 16: I think so, because they've been deceptive all along, you know,
• 52:58
  Speaker 16: for forty seven So you're not gonna they're not gonna
• 53:02
  Speaker 16: do anything they say they're going to do.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: So you're just gonna have, yeah, a good old fashioned
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: butt whooping, right, all right, Well, Charles, We're gonna leave
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: it there. We're going to go right to the White House.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: Caroline Levitt is now speaking to reporters. Let's listen in.
• 53:20
  Speaker 17: This is a victory for the United States of America
• 53:23
  Speaker 17: that the presidents in our incredible military made happen. From
• 53:27
  Speaker 17: the very beginning of Operation Epic Fury, President Trump stated
• 53:32
  Speaker 17: this would be a four to six week military operation
• 53:35
  Speaker 17: to dismantle the military threat posed by the radical Islamic
• 53:40
  Speaker 17: Iranian regime. Thanks to the unbelievable capabilities of America's war fighters,
• 53:45
  Speaker 17: the United States has achieved and exceeded those core military objectives.
• 53:50
  Speaker 17: In just thirty eight days. The US military destroyed Iran's
• 53:55
  Speaker 17: defense industrial base, crushing the regime's ability to manufacture weapons
• 54:00
  Speaker 17: that they and their proxies used to maim and kill
• 54:03
  Speaker 17: Americans and terrorize the world. Iran's ability to build in
• 54:07
  Speaker 17: stockpile ballistic missiles and long range drones has also been
• 54:10
  Speaker 17: set back by years compared to where it was six
• 54:14
  Speaker 17: weeks ago prior to the launch of Operation Epic Fury.
• 54:18
  Speaker 17: We destroyed the vast majority of Iran's ballistic missiles, launcher vehicles,
• 54:22
  Speaker 17: and long range attack drones through more than four hundred
• 54:25
  Speaker 17: and fifty strikes on ballistic missiles and approximately eight hundred
• 54:30
  Speaker 17: strikes on Iran's drone launching units and storage facilities. In total,
• 54:35
  Speaker 17: more than thirteen thousand targets across Iran were struck. Again,
• 54:39
  Speaker 17: this is in the matter of just thirty eight days. Meanwhile,
• 54:44
  Speaker 17: the Iranian navy was completely annihilated. The United States destroyed
• 54:49
  Speaker 17: more than one hundred and fifty naval vessels in total,
• 54:52
  Speaker 17: including sixteen entire classes of Iranian warships. Despite once being
• 54:58
  Speaker 17: the largest under sea four in the Middle East, Iran
• 55:01
  Speaker 17: now has zero submarine vessels. Ninety seven percent of Iran's
• 55:07
  Speaker 17: once massive inventory of more than five thousand naval mines
• 55:11
  Speaker 17: has also been targeted and destroyed. Iran's air forces are
• 55:15
  Speaker 17: functionally and operationally irrelevant at this point, after the United
• 55:19
  Speaker 17: States maintained total air dominance over their country for weeks
• 55:23
  Speaker 17: on end. To underscore the significance of this, Before Operation
• 55:27
  Speaker 17: Epic Fury, the Iranian Air force would fly between thirty
• 55:31
  Speaker 17: to one hundred flights per day. Today that number is zero.
• 55:36
  Speaker 17: Iran's ability to fund and support its terrorist proxies has
• 55:39
  Speaker 17: been greatly reduced.
• 55:41
  Speaker 14: At this point.
• 55:42
  Speaker 17: Iran can no longer distribute weapons to its proxies in
• 55:45
  Speaker 17: the region, and most importantly, Iran will not be able
• 55:49
  Speaker 17: to acquire nuclear weapons. Prior to the start of this
• 55:53
  Speaker 17: successful operation, Iran was aggressively expanding its short range ballistic
• 55:57
  Speaker 17: missile arsenal. Through these weapons and its navy, Iran was
• 56:01
  Speaker 17: attempting to build a military build up around their country
• 56:04
  Speaker 17: that would pose an imminent and existential threat to the
• 56:07
  Speaker 17: United States military assets in the Middle East, our allies
• 56:11
  Speaker 17: in the region, and ultimately the free world. Iran was
• 56:14
  Speaker 17: pursuing this dangerous and aggressive strategy for one reason, to
• 56:18
  Speaker 17: hold the entire world hostage to its terrorist ambitions.
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: All Right, we're gonna have to take a hard break here.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: We'll come back with more of Caroline Leavitt. We'll be
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: monitoring all of it. Nine oh one two six zero
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. Sounds like we're declaring total and
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: complete victory. So maybe the war's over.
• 56:54
  Speaker 17: Families across the country with the no tax on tips
• 56:56
  Speaker 17: provision in the note tax on overtime. Next week is
• 56:59
  Speaker 17: tax week. You'll hear a lot from the President about
• 57:02
  Speaker 17: how his policies have benefited the American people. And I'm
• 57:04
  Speaker 17: proud to report that the President will be traveling next
• 57:07
  Speaker 17: week to the great states of Nevada and Arizona to
• 57:10
  Speaker 17: tout this historic accomplishment over the course of the next week.
• 57:13
  Speaker 17: Thank you for being here, Shane Gabe.
• 57:15
  Speaker 13: Thank you, Caroli Brain.
• 57:16
  Speaker 18: State media is saying that Iran is now closed off
• 57:19
  Speaker 18: the Straight afore Mouse today response to his Raeli tax
• 57:22
  Speaker 18: on Lebanon. What's the White House response to that? And
• 57:26
  Speaker 18: just listed many military successes. I understand that, But strategically,
• 57:31
  Speaker 18: how is the administration arguing that Iran does not have
• 57:34
  Speaker 18: more economic leverage than now than it did before the.
• 57:38
  Speaker 17: Start of sure Well, with respect to the first reporting
• 57:42
  Speaker 17: out of Iranian state media, the President was made aware
• 57:44
  Speaker 17: of those reports before I came to the podium. That
• 57:47
  Speaker 17: is completely unacceptable. And again this is a case of
• 57:50
  Speaker 17: what they're saying publicly is different privately. We have seen
• 57:53
  Speaker 17: an uptick of traffic in the Strait today, and I
• 57:55
  Speaker 17: will reiterate the President's expectation and demand that the Strait
• 57:59
  Speaker 17: of her Moose is reopened immediately.
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: All right, there you go. Caroline Lovett, responding to reports
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: that are just out that the Iranians have closed the
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: Straight of horror moves which again, would the first two
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: themes that the that the Iranians are required to do
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: is stop shooting missiles and reopen the straight of horror moves,
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: and they've already violated both of those. So are we
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: got to be able to make it to the to
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: the the second week of Iranian US spring break? Who knows?
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line and bring
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: into the conversation our great friend Fox News columnist Liz Peak.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: Liz just fair warning. Apparently the audience says I'm in
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: a bad mood today. I think I'm just really frustrated
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: by all of this. So my apologies if I come
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: off a little harsh, a little grumpy.
• 58:53
  Speaker 19: Well, look, I mean I think today is a day
• 58:55
  Speaker 19: of celebration, and I agree that these sorts of seaseply
• 59:02
  Speaker 19: violations are alarming and annoying, but also probably expected.
• 59:07
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 59:07
  Speaker 19: I mean, I think one of the issues in dealing
• 59:10
  Speaker 19: with Iran right now, and this has been clear for weeks,
• 59:15
  Speaker 19: we don't know who's in charge. So we may have
• 59:18
  Speaker 19: made we being the White House may have made a
• 59:22
  Speaker 19: deal with one faction or another in Iran people empower,
• 59:27
  Speaker 19: but they may not have communicated with other people in power,
• 59:31
  Speaker 19: So I don't think that's too surprising. I do think
• 59:33
  Speaker 19: the one thing tod that could be difficult here is
• 59:37
  Speaker 19: Iran is saying they close the straight of horm moves
• 59:40
  Speaker 19: because Israel is attacking Lebanon. And what is disturbing about
• 59:45
  Speaker 19: that is clearly Israel has to be our partner in
• 59:49
  Speaker 19: making this ceasefire work. If this is a deal breaker,
• 59:55
  Speaker 19: you know, Trump is not going to be happy if
• 59:58
  Speaker 19: Israel undermines what he considered to be a pretty massive
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 19: achievement and that the world has welcomed. So I think
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 19: I think this is a little bit of a difficult moment.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 19: My guess is he's on the phone with Mettanyahu as
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 19: we speak, trying to figure this out because he wants
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 19: this to work. The whole world should want it to work.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 19: To The incredible thing is the number of people and
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 19: Democrats and the left who just don't who are really
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 19: rooting against our country, against success in Iran. And honestly,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 19: I think it's one of the times in my life
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 19: where I'm just saying, are you what are they thinking?
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 17: What?
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 19: How can any reasonable person align themselves with an organization
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 19: a country dedicated to terrorism?
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Liza. It's a great point, and it's
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: not only the Democrats who are doing that, but there
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: are some on our side, or allegedly on our side
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: of the eye, who feel the same way. A lot
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: of these I've been calling them podcast to stanies is
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: what they are. But these very powerful, influential folks who
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: are it almost seems like they're rooting against America here,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: and I just find that to be shocking.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 19: Well, I think partly it's rooting against America. There's certainly
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 19: a tinge of anti Semitism that is underpinning that rooting.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 19: I know you're talking about we're all afraid in a
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 19: way of crossing these people because they do have such
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 19: a big megaphone. But my god, what are they talking about, Todd?
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 19: What do they want? Do they want a president who
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 19: is clients. Let's just take a moment to consider why
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 19: we are fighting with Iran. We're fighting with Iran because
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 19: for decades people have talked about not allowing Iran to
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 19: have a nuclear weapon. They were on the cusp of
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 19: having a nuclear weapon and there was no way on
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 19: God's Earth that they were going to give that up.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 19: Number two were fighting against them because they had a
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 19: massive stock file of ballistic missiles, and only last week
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 19: did we find out that their capabilities with ballistic missiles
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 19: was far greater than we anticipated, so that Europe was
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 19: then reached. The European capitals Paris, London, et cetera. Iran
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 19: had access to those capitals via missiles that were now
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 19: you know, were long distance, and we didn't know that
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 19: pretty soon the United States was going to be within
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 19: reach of Iranian missiles. That has to be a good thing.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 19: Number one that we discovered it. Number two that we
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 19: are well on the way to pulverizing their ability to
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 19: make those missiles again. And number three, I think one
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 19: of the more treacherous aspects of the ceasefire and any
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 19: agreement that comes, we are going to have to deal
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 19: with the reality that the straight offom moves is a
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 19: chokepoint for the entire world economy and that Iran controls
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 19: the straight of hor Moods. I tweeted out just in
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 19: the last several minutes a reporter that is quoted than
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 19: a piece on the hill who's saying, before this war,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 19: Iran did not have control over the straight.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 16: Of hor Moods.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 19: That is absolutely not true. They always had that. They
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 19: had it by dint of their missile position and by
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 19: dental carg Island and the geography. So I don't know
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 19: what this person's talking about. They were not, let's say this,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 19: they were not controlling the straight of hor Moods in
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 19: terms of blocking access to it, but they certainly had
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 19: that capability. And Todd that is one of the three
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 19: things that we have to see ended with any kind
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 19: of peace negotiation with Iran. They can't have nukes. We
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 19: got to get rid of their missile inventories, and we
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 19: have got to make sure that the world always is
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 19: able to ship boiled through the strait.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 16: Of form moods.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about that. And we've got Liz Pete
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: joining us on our Patriot Mobile news maker line. I
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: know Caroline Levitt is now going after the media saying
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: they should stop spreading Iranian regime propaganda. Yeah, which which
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: is what it is. Yeah, that is I know.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 19: I mean, it's pretty stunning that the Iranians, who by
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 19: the way, have lied and cheeted for decades about everything
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 19: they've done. And if anyone doubts that, just go back
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 19: to the reports from the IAEA, the United Nations nuclear
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 19: inspectors and look at what they have reported over the years.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 19: Iran lies, They lie all the time. So why is
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 19: it that these reporters are taking the public relations effort
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 19: from Tehran, which is really what they're doing, and giving
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 19: credibility to it. I just really don't understand that.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: No, And I think for me, I'm just when it
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: comes to Iran, I'm just a hardliner, you know. I
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: remember as a kid, you know, I was in I
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: think junior high school in seventy nine when all of
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: that happened with the taking of the Iranian and and Liz,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: I think all of us who lived through that, that
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: was a horrid I mean, that was really a traumatic thing.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: Every night, you know, when you had ted Kopple, which
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: was the start of Nightline, and they they would run
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: down what day fifty nine, day two hundred and whatever.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: I just think that you can't trust these people, and
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: we're giving them a two week My concern is we're
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: giving them two weeks to regroup to have whatever weapons,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: you know, drones, missiles replenished. I have to imagine they're
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: getting help from either Russia or China or both. And
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: my concern is that you know that they're not gonna
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: They're not gonna be They're not going to go into
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: whatever kind of negotiations in good faith without a doubt.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 10: They are not.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 19: But also remember what extraordinary intelligence we have. We have
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 19: an eye on these people. We have an eye on
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 19: what they're doing. I mean the United States and Israel.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 19: There are not too many stones left on turn in around.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 19: That's why we've been able Israel mainly. It's been able
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 19: to pick off their leadership, one person at this time.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 19: That's why every time a drone surfaces with a missile attached,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 19: ninety nine percent of the time it is spotted and
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 19: it is brought down. So yes, they may try, I
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 19: don't think in two weeks they can do a great
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 19: deal of replenishment or reorganization of their government. You know,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 19: Trump said the other night, and I think people ignored it,
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 19: but it's true. How are they communicating I think I
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 19: read in the journal this morning, or maybe the ft.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 19: They're communicating via note. They actually have runners taking notes
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 19: from one official to another. That's I mean, we have
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 19: so degraded their twenty first century capabilities. It's going to
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 19: take more than two weeks to put that back together.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 19: But look it's a very stressful time. And I here's
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 19: what I think. If Trump does not like the way
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 19: this is proceeding, they're going to have to watch out
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 19: because I think he will unleash fury, not necessarily on
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 19: power plants and bridges, maybe on carg Island.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 7: I don't know, but.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 5: He is not done.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 19: And you know, I think, as much as everybody in
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 19: the administration wants to put this in the rear view
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 19: mirror because of higher oil prices and all the political
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 19: implications of that, more important is achieving our goals in Iran.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: No doubt about it. And you're right, we do have
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: to do that. And I will say this. I told
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: the story in the first hour. I was getting out
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: of my car yesterday, I was running errands and a
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: lady came over and she recognized me, and she said,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: is are we really gonna Are we really going to
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: Is he really going to do it? Is he gonna
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: wipe Israel or Iran off the face of the earth?
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: And if just I think so many people in this country,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of anxiety in this country because they
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: were truly afraid that, you know, that was going to happen.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: But if that's how we felt. We weren't the ones
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: getting blown up. You have to imagine how the Iranians
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: must be feeling right now.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 19: I agree, and I think that they have good cause
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 19: to worry because their leadership is not only desperate, and
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 19: they're desperate because of this. This is their last stand
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 19: if there's any further collapse in the economy, which comes
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 19: by way of further, you know, being punished. If you
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 19: will further, they're gone and they know that, so they
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 19: will stop at absolutely nothing to uh, basically hurt the West,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 19: hurt America. You know, look, this is a country. Everyone
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 19: has said this, but no one. It's like it doesn't
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 19: penetrate the souls of the people who are out there
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 19: criticizing the president. They chant death to America as a
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 19: regular part of their national ritual. We don't chant death
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 19: who Iran. Most Americans are happy to live in peace.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 19: Ran is not. And I mean that is a big
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 19: that's for a big kill, right, That's who they are.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 19: And I don't mean the Iranian people. They don't want
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 19: this regime anymore than anybody else does. By the way,
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 19: the Gulf Arab nations are thrilled to have Iran come
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 19: under bombardment from the United States in Israel. They're scared
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 19: of these people. These are reckless, ruthless malas, and the
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 19: more we can do to degrade their ability to fight,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 19: the better. And honestly, anyone who denies that, I think
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 19: they're crazy.
• 1:09:36

• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: I going to do now?
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: So anyway, I'm doom strolling last night on the Instagram
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: and I came across the story I had, I had,
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: I love, I love all about air travel. You know, uh,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: my grandfather, your great grandfather, ran the tower at Memphis
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: International Airport. And we have all of our great uncles
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: and great great your great great uncles. We're all in
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: the Air Force and flew flew in the Wars, and
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: so we had this great storied, you know, aviation background
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: in our family. Our great uncle Jean, your great great
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: uncle Jean Dylan actually was the very first test pilot
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: for the Boeing seven forty seven's and you know.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 13: Really cool. Actually it's it's it's unfortunate that I hate flying.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 13: That gene did not pass down to me.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: No, uncle Jean's Jean did not pass down. He was
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: the private pilot for Aristotle on Nassas and the King
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: of Jordan, the Sultan of BRUNEI.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 4: So that sounds cool.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 13: I don't really know who those people are, but it
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 13: sounds really cool.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: From nineteen fifty three to nineteen seventy, United Airlines operated
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: a daily flight called the Executive between New York and Chicago,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: and then between Los Angeles and San Francisco. It was
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: marketed as a club in the sky for men only.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: Women could not buy a ticket. Children were not allowed
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: on board. The only women permitted were the stewardesses. Passengers
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: got first class seats. Are you ready for this? Steak dinners,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: unlimited cocktails, complimentary cigars, slippers, and closing stock market quotes
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: delivered by teletype. This is brilliant. When they landed, the
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: passengers got either a glass ashtray with an airplane on it,
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: or instead of coufflings with a built in watch. When
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: asked about it in nineteen fifty four, a United Airlines
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: spokesperson said, what we give men is an opportunity to
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: get away from from women. We don't regard it as segregation.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: We regard it as a little luxury. Oh jeez, So
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: this thing. It ran seventeen years. It was ninety percent occupancy.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: Men were falling all over themselves to get on board
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: these flights, but they had to stop in the nineteen
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: sixties when the women, you know, the whole women's lib thing.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: And yeah, women pitched a hissy fit and the next thing,
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: you know, you got all these screaming kids on the planes.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 13: The women, Yeah, they just you know, they do their
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 13: own do their own version of women.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: No male flight attendants either, that they had to be.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: And by the way they weighed all the flight attendants.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 4: Oh my god.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: So they had to be of a certain look and curvature.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 4: Okay, if you will, boys club.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: And of course now most airlines look like gray humpas stations.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: You know, Dylan, we were a proper nation once. No comedy,
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: well said nine oh one two six zero five, nine

• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: want to know. All right, hang inside, everybody.

  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 1:15:34

• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: That's that's that.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 11: This American.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: To start. All right, Hello, everybody, welcome to the Tom

• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: two six is our telephone number. That's nine oh one
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: two zero five nine two six Overton High School. This
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: is John Overton High School in Nashville, Tennessee, sort of
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: the buckle of the Bible Belt. I think the Southern
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: Baptist have their headquarters there, and so do one of
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: the Methodist groups. I don't know which one is. The
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: Heathen group. Is that the United Methodist? Okay, the Global Methods.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: Somebody's got their their Methodist headquarters there. There are a
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: couple of other denominations, so anyway, they get a lot
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: of Christians there in the Nashville area, very religious area.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: Buckle of the Bible Belt. A Nashville high school. Overton
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: High School has now fully embraced the Islamic holidays. By
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: the way, over In High school a taxpayer funded public school.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: The school provides a food free zone during lunchtime for
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: Muslim students who are fasting. The Muslim kids also have
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: reserve space on campus to pray. Muslim students are also
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: provided electronic hall passes so they can leave class for
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: fifteen minutes to pray. You know, don'tlem me stud here
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: for a moment. You know, if I'm in high school
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: and I find out I can get an electronic hall
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: pass to get out of class fifteen minutes early. I'm like,
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: Aslam maleka, baby, that's what I'm saying. I don't blame you,
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: just don't blow me upward making a point here, please
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: just continuing here. Teachers also decorate their rooms with Muslim
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: holiday decorn and the school even changed its entire bell
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: signal to work around Muslim students being able to pray.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: I guess what happened was, you know, they ring the bell.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: It's like you have it's a tardy bell or whatever,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: and if the kids are praying, that bell would interrupt
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: the kids. So what they've decided to do is they're
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: just reworking the entire bell signal system to accommodate the
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: Muslim kids. Oh but let's talk about the cafeterium decorated
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: in gold and blue proclaiming Ramadan Mabarik and Ramadan Kareem
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: abdul Jabbar no different guys. Sorry. The entire cafeteria was
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: decked out in stars and moons and lanterns and stream lights.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: It looked like a Muslim wonderland. And the Nashville Banner
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: did a big story about all of this and they
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: interviewed They apparently have hired a lot of Muslim teachers
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: and they have like eighty or ninety Muslim students, and
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: so the whole point of the article was really a
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: love fest about how accommodating this public school has now
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: become to the Islamic children. And it was I mean,
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: it's really a fascinating read. As a matter of fact.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: The headline of the piece in the Nationale banner during
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: Ramadan Muslim students find peace, discipline and community. I want
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: you to read the I want you to listen as
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: I do a dramatic reading. These are the actual words
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: of the writer here. This is a news story. It
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: was a Wednesday morning, part way through the month of Ramadan,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: and many of John Overton High Schools Muslim students have
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: been awake since four thirty am. These students have been
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: fasting every day for more than a weekend. Woke up
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: in time for Suhor, the last chance to eat and
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: drink before the sun rises. Some chose foods that are hydrating,
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: like watermelon or cucumber. Oh wait a second, wait a
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: second watermelon? Careful now. After breakfast, it was time for
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: the first of five prayers of the day. Many students
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: pray together with their families a chance to be together
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: and share a spiritual connection before parting ways for school
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: or work, and it goes on and on. Is just
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just really they're just sort of a
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: gripping thing. And they interview the students and they're taking
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: you through what it feels like not to eat food.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: They talk about the students reading the Quran from front
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: to back during Ramadan in their classes. They say the
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: Quran is like a way of life, their manual for
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: life and instruction. And yes, that's why we're concerned. Oh
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: that's my commentary. They're not theirs. So anyway, it goes
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: on and on and on, and they talk about how
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: the students wear hitdgejobs and suit of their teachers, and
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: the students are saying that the school needs to do
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: more that now the school needs to start teaching about
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: the history of Islam and addressing Islamophobia in the curriculum.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: They also believe that teachers should begin lectures about Muslim
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: holidays and what Ramadan is and why some students are fasting.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: One of the Muslim students said, I think teachers should
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: just address it so that they so that we feel
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: like we're being heard. One Muslim teacher said that her
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: classroom is decorated. One wall covered with photos she's taken
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: with her students and another drawings. There's a mac of
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 2: there's a map of Kurdistan above her desk, and a
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: box of prayer bats in the corner that students often
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: borrow to pray at school. She also has a string
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: has string lights. Yet a student settled in for third period,
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: the overhead lights were on and she said she keeps
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: all the lights on during Ramadam because the students might
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: fall asleep. I want to get down to this one. Oh.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: The Muslim teacher says her classroom is a big hangout.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: Students crowd around her has can played games, laughing and
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: snapping each other playfully. Barari is one of ten teachers.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: That's her name, the Muslim teacher who signed up to
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: offer her classroom as a food free zone during lunchtime.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: The school's director of activities created a sign up sheet
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: for teachers so that students who are fasting would not
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: have to sit in the cafeteria and watch their peers eat.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: It's one of several accommodations arranged by the administration for
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: Muslim students the school reserves space on campus for kids
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: to pray in the afternoon. They also created sign up
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: sheets for students to receive the electronic hall passes granting
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: them permission to leave class for fifteen minutes to pray.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: More than eighty kids signed up. The Muslim teacher said
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: witnessing the accommodations as a full circle moment, she were
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: cross growing up in a public school in Nashville with
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: a smaller Muslim population and hiding the fact she was fasting. Quote.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: This school makes it such a point to make it
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: known that it's ramadant. What school do you know that
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: actually changes their whole bell schedule to work around students
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: being able to go pray. I don't think the kids
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: really even understand how important that is or see that like, Wow,
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: my school's doing this for me. Another school staffer, Al
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: Nadar Mohammad, is in charge of overseeing daily prayer. He's
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: a member of the school support staff. This is, again,
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: a diverse faculty, an important piece of helping students feel
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: safe and welcome. Muslim faculty members often advocate for needs
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: to the administration. This is all happening in a public
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: school in Nashville, Tennessee. In the middle of the Bible Belt.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: And my question for the school, Okay, what are you
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: guys doing to accommodate the Christian students. Are they decorating
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: the caffa gem notorium with Christmas decorations? Is there a
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: Nativity scene anywhere on campus? Are they allowing Christian students
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: to leave class to go and pray or have a
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: Bible study? Are teachers decorating their classes with various Christmas
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: decorations or Easter decorations. Are gideons allowed on campus to
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: distribute copies of the Bible? And the answer to that
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: question is no, they are not. And we went through
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: and looked at a lot of the social media feeds
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: of the school. Nothing about Christmas decorations, nothing, nothing at all.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: And again it makes you wonder, why is it that
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: they are embracing the Muslim faith with such gusto at
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 2: this public school while at the same time they're completely
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: ignoring students of the Jewish and the Christian faiths, and
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: predominantly students of the Christian faith. So anyway, I decided
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: to check out their calendars and it turns out that
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: on the official school calendar at John Overdon High School
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: in Nashville, Christmas is actually called winter break. You notice
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: they called the Muslim holidays what those holidays are, whatever
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: they are, but when it comes to the Christian holidays,
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: they're completely erased. It's like they don't matter anymore. And
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: I remember for years there was an effort, and you guys,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: I covered this on the show for many years we
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: talked about the effort to purge Christianity from our public
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: schools where kids, you know, back when we were growing up,
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: there used to be all if you guys remember this,
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: but we used to have a prayer over the intercom
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: system to start our day, and then we would stand
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: up and we would pledge allegiance to the flag, and
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: of course the prayer became a moment of silence, and
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: then it just completely went away. Most kids don't even
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: stand up for the pledge of allegiance. It's all entirely optional.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, back in the day, you weren't standing up
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: praying to GESA says somebody was whacking you upside your backside.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: That's the way it was. But now here, ladies and
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: gentlemen Nashville, Tennessee, the symbolism, it's really hard to ignore
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: that not only. And you heard this from the students
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: as I read their quotes from the Nashville Banner piece.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: The message from the students is it's not good enough.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: It's not good enough. They want full and complete control.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: That's what's going on here. Our telephone number nine oh
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six. That's nine
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. This,
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, happening in the Southern States. You wonder
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: what's happening in other areas of the country, and if
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: this is happening in perhaps smaller towns as well. All right,
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: we're gonna take a break. We're going to your calls.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: You got a problem with this. Nine oh one two
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. This is the Todd
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: Sterns show, all right in Texas, by the way, And
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: someone sent me this over the break. Wiley East High School.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 2: This is in North Texas. The students there were provided
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: qurans and hitdge jobs on campus, So the Muslims were
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: invited onto campus and the clerics were handing out the qurans,
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: and I guess putting the young girls in the hidgejobs.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: And a lot of parents are like, wait, wait, wait,
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: a second, what's going on here? Because not even the
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: Gideons are allowed on campus anymore. The Gideons. Back when
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: I was a kid, the Gideons came into your classroom
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: and they gave all of us, he the little kids,
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: you know, Bibles because we needed them, because we were
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: godless evans, we were urchins. Let's go to the phone
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 2: lines nine oh one two six zero five nine two
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: six Cindy in New York, Hi, Cindy, what's on your
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: minds Hi Chad.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 20: I just wanted to let you know what life was
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 20: like back when I was a kid, like a long
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 20: time ago. On Friday afternoons, like right before lunch or lunchtime,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 20: every kid was allowed to go to their church of
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 20: choice in town. So some of us would go to
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 20: Catholic school, some would go to the Methist and you know,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 20: blah blah blah every church in town. And then the
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 20: ones that didn't want to partake stayed back in the
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 20: classroom at the av Center Audio Visual.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 3: Back then, it was.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, yeah, I remember the I had a.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 20: Long sign and nobody forced anyone to do anything. And
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 20: this thing has got to be nipped in the bud.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 20: That's all you have to say, so thanks for.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: Taking my ca well, Cindy, No, I appreciate that. Now
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: what part of what part of Western New York are
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: you from?
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 20: The Fingerlake?
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: Oh that's a beautiful area. Yeah, yes, you know, I
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: just remember as a kid I grew up, I was
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: in a grade school, like in the nineteen seventies, in
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: the early mid early and mid seventies, and grade school,
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: and you know, I mean the faith, the faith was
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: sort of woven in. But when we moved to my
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: dad got transferred to Louisiana, which is a prenominantly Catholic culture.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: And I remember on Fridays, for example, we went to
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: public school and we had to have fish on Fridays,
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: you know, because most of the kids are Catholic and
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: so they can't eat meat for whatever reason. And so anyway,
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: you know, you just you kind of roll with the flow,
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: you kind of go with it. But this is what's
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: going to happen here, is you're going to have a
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: lot of schools that are suddenly going to become Muslim majority,
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 2: and there will be no tolerance for anybody's religion.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 20: And that is what I'm afraid of. That was my point.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 20: So thank you for taking my call.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: Cindy, thank you for calling in, and thank you for listening.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: And say hello to all of our friends in New York.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Georgia. Tim on the line, Hi, Tim,
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 21: Hey John? How are you doing?
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 7: Buddy?
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 4: Good?
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: Good? Good?
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 21: So, So I want to know when the a c
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 21: l U is going to get involved about the freedom
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 21: from religion.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 21: The protest over these public schools and religion uh being
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 21: integrated into the schools is this Uh, this should be
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 21: on CNN and MSNBC, and I mean, you can't have this.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 21: You can't have religion mixed with school.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: Can you remember? There was years ago there was a
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: teacher I believe it was somewhere in Iowa and the
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: UH the administration cracked down on candy canes and told
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: the teachers that they could not they could not give
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: the kids candy canes because the J shape stood for
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 2: Jesus and they were anything that could be construed as
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: religious was completely banned from the school. It was Nebraska, yep.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 21: I'm waiting for the ACLU to start start done a
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 21: lawsuit against these schools for this religion getting into schools
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 21: and they should be nationwide protest about religion in school.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 21: I'm sure you get the irony.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: I know, I think it's a great I'm following you, Tim,
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: You're you're an ironic man today. Uh, but I get that. Yeah,
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 2: it's a it's a great point, you know, because if
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: this was Christians, if this was the first Baptist Church
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: of Nashville going in and doing all of this, you
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 2: better believe there would be nationwide protests.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 21: Yep, just like you were saying. They changed the calendar
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 21: to winter holidays soon. I mean, they're gonna have these
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 21: on every calendar, So I'm not really sure there's a
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 21: big difference. If it's good for us, it should be
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 21: good for everyone.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: Well, well said Tim, thank you for that call. You know,
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: they tried to pull that nonsense over here in the
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: town that I live in, one of the suburbs of Memphis,
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 2: and I had to go down, Dylan, I had to
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: go back. I had to go down to the school
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 2: board as a as a citizen and and make my
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: case before the school board. Yes, they wanted to ban
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 2: good Friday.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, terrible. I don't get it, and you should have.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: You would have been proud of me. I was very
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: respectful as a Baptist where I said, hello, thank you
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: members of the board. I'm Tod Serring. You have to
• 1:32:18

• 1:37:49
  Speaker 2: family here.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 7: Hey.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 22: That's that's the great thing about Memphis. It's it's the
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 22: biggest small town you'll ever live in.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 2: No, it is, so it's it's a weird story. But
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 2: my my grandfather was ran the tower at Memphis Airport,
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: which is what brought our family to you know, to Memphis.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 2: I mean back in the nineteen thirties, I think, and
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 2: so my mom's dad, so my other grandfather worked they
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: worked together in the in the tower, and they hated
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 2: each other, and so my so my dad was in
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 2: a band with my with my mom's older brother, and
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 2: that's how they got to know each other, you know,
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 2: through through rock and roll. And dad was a studio
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 2: musician here in the Memphis area. And then uncle Don
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: married my mom's sister of course, and you know, they
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: had their own band, so kind of a musical family.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 22: It was funny enough. I had a great grandmother who
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 22: worked in the Memphis International Airport gift shops, so is
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 22: that right? We had is slightly different job titles there.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 22: But you never know. They might have run into each
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 22: other in the break round.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 2: You never know. You never, I mean seriously, you never know.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, we were at a book
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: sign we did a book signing at Germantown Baptist Church
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: and a guy came up to me and he must
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 2: have been I guess ninety or something he was on
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 2: up there. He said, I worked with your grandfather at
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 2: at the tower and brought me some photographs, you know,
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: of my grandfather. He had to return he super early
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: because he had a bad heart. But that was it
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: was kind of nice to see uh Paul Paul back
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 2: in his natural habitat there. So guys, y'all doing good.

  Speaker 23: Blended investment strategy is basically where we're not going to
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 23: just go all in on one thing. We're going to
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 23: sprinkle in a few different products. We call them tools
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 23: that can accomplish what you're trying to reach as far
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 23: as your goals go.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 2: So that what does that mean?
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 23: That means we're not going to just put all of
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 23: our money in the stock market or the bond market.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 23: We may do a little bit in the stock market,
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 23: but then we also institute like a fixed index annuity
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 23: that allows us to have a protection on the downside,
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 23: but with some upside participation. And then maybe for the
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 23: legacy piece, we incorporate some life insurance for a tax
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 23: free death benefit.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 2: So it kind of is that sort of like diversifying
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 2: your portfolio. Is that similar word or lingo or.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 23: Similar, But it's not just in the traditional sense of
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 23: you know, we have a combination of some equity securities
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 23: and some debt securities like stocks and bonds.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 2: This is where we actually.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 23: Take another type of vehicle, like an annuity, a fixed
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 23: indexed annuity or a variable annuity, and we incorporate that
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 23: with the stocks and bonds that you're invested in.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 2: Chris, it seems like, especially when it comes to retirement
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 2: playing and we've got a pretty large audience and a
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 2: lot of folks looking at retirement, it's it's not as
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 2: easy as it was back in the day. It's a
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 2: bit more complixent.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 22: It's a little bit more complicated. I gotta say time,
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 22: I'm a little I'm a little angry right now. And
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 22: I've told Adam before we walked in, because I was
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 22: looking at some numbers this morning about the practical application
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 22: of this, and you're right, it's not as easy. Would
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 22: you care to guess the percentage of gen X not
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 22: gen Z, not millennials, gen X, how many of them
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 22: are actually applying a blended strategy or just diversifying investments
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 22: in general? What would you have to guess that number?
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 2: Oh Jesus, that's my generation, guys, I know that's what
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 2: I'm saying it man, I maybe I would say it's
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 2: got to be at least sixty five seventy percent.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 22: Todd, it's thirty four. Only thirty four percent of gen X.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 22: Only thirty four percent is even thinking about doing a
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 22: diversified or blended strategy. When it comes to their investments.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 22: They're just they're just going in on one thing at all.
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 22: And that's if they're investing period. And that's not even
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 22: talking about the millennials and gen Z, where they're more
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 22: worried about, uh, you know, managing their debt. And guess what.
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 22: Those numbers aren't so good for all across the board
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 22: for generations in general. But you're right, the application is
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 22: very difficult. And that's where guys like Adam and I
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 22: see a big divide where we need to come in
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 22: and be able to be that I don't know, the
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 22: great leveler if you will, to be able to say, hey,
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 22: here's there we are us utilize us the way we
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 22: need to be utilized that way You're not going around
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 22: lost in the dark.
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 2: When you guys are talking to folks. Are you getting
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 2: any inclination as to why that is? You know, especially
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 2: at gen X, and I think our generation we were like,
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 2: we're the latch key kids. We're so self sufficient and
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 2: we were raised up to be that that way, And
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering if that would have anything to do with it.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 23: Yeah, I think if we had to go and look
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 23: for why that statistic is so low, I think we
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 23: could relate that a lot to people are good at
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 23: the one thing that they know how to do. They
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 23: go to work every single day, they punch in the clock,
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 23: they do their job, and they go home. They want
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 23: to be there for family. And we always had conversations
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 23: around if you have an ailment, go talk.
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 4: To your doctor.
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 23: If you have a toothache, go talk to your dentist,
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 23: but no one ever really brought in if you have
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 23: any financially related problems, go talk to a financial advisor.
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 23: And I think that's just as important as having a
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 23: primary healthcare.
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 2: Honestly, I can tell you just within our family growing up,
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 2: you know that was something that the rich people did.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 2: That's exactly right, that's it and I would never have thought,
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 2: you know, but but you're telling me that it doesn't
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 2: matter how much money you have. You need to have
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 2: somebody who's an expert.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 4: And it's not just.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 23: About rates of return, you know, we talk about like
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 23: how do we mitigate our downside? And that's why this
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 23: blended strategy could be a really good strategy for somebody
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 23: who has worked for forty years, they've stacked money into
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 23: a four to one k having a conversation with an
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 23: advisor and just asked this one question, what am I
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 23: exposed to? And we will tell you it's well, all
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 23: of your money is invested in the market. How would
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 23: you feel if two years before you get ready to retire,
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 23: or right after you retire, there's a twenty percent correction
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 23: in the market.
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 2: How would that make you feel? And let me tell
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 2: you something. There are people back in the early two thousands,
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 2: like around two thousand and eight who discovered that in
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: real time, and one of them was my uncle who
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 2: lived in Atlanta and worked for the same company for
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 2: thirty forty years. Their entire retirement plan was built into
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 2: the stock into the stock and it was it was
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 2: really tough.
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 22: Well, Todd, your question ultimately goes back to, hey, what
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 22: do we see on a regular basis, And I'll tell
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 22: you something that we see. It's over analysis can lead
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 22: to paralysis. What does that mean? That means that it
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 22: has never been easier to get your hands on all
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 22: this information about the stock market, or all these different vehicles,
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 22: or all this different financial advice from you know, internet gurus.
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 22: Call it what you will, but the reality is is
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 22: that that's your job as just an everyday, hard working
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 22: American citizen is not to be in the No. Twenty
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 22: four to seven about everything financially related. It's impossible. That's
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 22: why we have CPAs, That's why we have investment specialists,
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 22: that's why we have insurance specialists and guys like Adam
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 22: and I where we come from a team of experienced professionals.
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 22: They're able to look at every little thing that comes
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 22: down to your big picture. And it's hard. It's hard,
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 22: and that's why people are missing the bus on this.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 22: But we see these numbers and we see, hey, okay,
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 22: there's something going on here that people just don't realize
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 22: because they're pushing it off and they're pushing it off.
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 22: And the last thing that we want to happen is
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 22: they wake up one day and they realize it's too late.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 2: Adam Martin and Chris Lofta is joining us from Strategic
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 2: Financial Partners. Their website Strategic Financial Partners dot com. And
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 2: if you've got a quick question you want to ask
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 2: them a question about retirement or blended investment strategy, give
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 2: us a call. Nine oh one two six zero five
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 2: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. Guys, let's talk about the different
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 2: investment pieces that are at play here. What does that
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 2: look like, so.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 23: You know, kind of going back to what's changed over
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 23: the course of many years. And one thing that we
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 23: see very commonly now is that pensions are a thing
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 23: of the past. And how does a blended strategy solve
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 23: something like that. Well, we can have a growth aspect
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 23: of the portion of your money, so we're still growing
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 23: it actively in the stock market, but then we take
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 23: another portion of it and maybe we put it into
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 23: an income driven annuity so that we can guarantee what
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 23: your income streams look like in retirement. So that allows
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 23: you to still participate and get a competitive rate of
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 23: return and outpace things like in FLA, but allow you
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 23: the peace of mind to know that, hey, part of
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 23: my investments is going to replace an income that I'm
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 23: going to need in retirement.
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 2: Any particular like percentages you would recommend if you're putting
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 2: you've got all your buckets out there, should they be
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 2: evenly divided?
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 23: So, I mean there's the old three legged stool method
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 23: that we usually talk about. We like to, you know,
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 23: put all analogies to a lot of things that we do.
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 23: But think about the legs of a stool. You know,
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 23: we want to if you want to use percentages thirty
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 23: percent or thirty three percent. You know, thirty three percent
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 23: could be a stock market component, thirty three percent could
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 23: be an indextinuity, and the other thirty three percent could
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 23: be a life insurance policy that could be your legacy play.
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 22: Ultimately, Todd, you look at it from a position of
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 22: everything has a job that it's supposed to do.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 22: What are a lot of people that we see doing
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 22: currently while they're letting this cash accumulate and just build
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 22: up and build up and build up over time in
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 22: these bank accounts, that is doing little if anything for
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 22: their overall financial plan. That's I'm not doing your job
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 22: ultimately for your financial plan. Our goal with this three
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 22: legged stool strategy is to assign these things with intentional
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 22: goals of saying, hey, this goes to growth, this goes
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 22: to legacy, this goes to protection. This is me covering
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 22: my rear end so that when the storm comes, and
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 22: guess what tide it will come at some point, we're
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 22: going to have a policy in our back pocket for
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 22: that day to take care of us. Not just us,
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 22: but the ones we love, our family and basically our household.
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 2: See that's a great way of looking at it. All Right,
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 2: we've got a ramp here, guys. But when you're looking
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 2: at this blended investment strategy, who who is best suited
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 2: for something like that?
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 23: It's typically the people that are five to ten years
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 23: out from retirement, are already in retirement and they just
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 23: want to add a layer of protection to what they've
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 23: worked hard to accumulate. But they don't really just want
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 23: to take all their money out of the market. They
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 23: still want to be able to competitively grow it, but
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 23: add a layer of protection. So that's typically that.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 2: That would be gen xers. Right now, you know they
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 2: have to start thinking about that.
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 22: Absolutely, But you know, todd millennials are knocking on the door,
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 22: They're right behind there. You've only got about fifty one
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 22: percent of millennials in general who are even saving actively
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 22: for retirement. That's a whole half of a generation that
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 22: they're not even thinking about it, let on doing anything.
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 2: It's shocking to me. And then when you I mean
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 2: many of them don't even I'd be curious to look
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 2: at the numbers. And I'm sure somebody's run the numbers.
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 2: How many people in the millennial generation actually own homes?
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 2: You know, they've you know, they've got savings accounts. I
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 2: think people are going to be shocked when they see
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 2: those numbers. And and then you've got you know, the
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 2: gen Zers.
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 23: And another thing I'll say is it's not just a hey,
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 23: I need to panic and call somebody and get everything
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 23: put together right now. This is built over the course
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 23: of some years. I mean, for those those millennials and
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 23: the gen Zers, it's Now's a good time to be
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 23: thinking about your insurance piece because it's based on attained
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 23: age and insurability. You're not going to get any younger
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 23: than you are right now, so we can add that
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 23: you know, leg of the stool today, and then as
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 23: you're building these assets, be thinking about a blendis streda.
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you when, just from my personal experience, you know,
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 2: when I left Fox, I left behind my insurance, you know,
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 2: the company insurance which was fully covered when I had
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 2: to have the open heart surgery and all of that
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff. Try going out there and getting a
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 2: new policy when you have something like that, you know,
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 2: on your health resume. So it's you're absolutely right. It's
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 2: so important to be prepared. And that's also again as
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 2: much as you're a gen xer or maybe you're a
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 2: boomer and you're listening, you've got kids and grandkids and
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 2: they already are in the workforce and they're in college,
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 2: and they need to be start they need to start
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 2: thinking about these things and being strategic, which is why
