Transcript
- 0:10Speaker 1: Well, live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
- 0:14Speaker 1: It's America's favorite gun, total bible clinging, deplorable American.
- 0:19Speaker 2: That's that's that.
- 0:23Speaker 3: This American jud starts wellyome Well, Hello, everybody, Welcome to
- 0:31Speaker 3: the Tom Strange Radio Program. What an honor to have
- 0:33Speaker 3: you with us today. I want you to write down
- 0:36Speaker 3: our telephon number. You will need this if you plan
- 0:39Speaker 3: on calling into the show. Nine oh one two six
- 0:42Speaker 3: zero five nine two six is our telephone number. That's
- 0:45Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
- 0:49Speaker 3: I am really anxious to dig into this doctor Anthony
- 0:55Speaker 3: Faunci story and the Faunci testifying on Capitol Hill this week.
- 1:01Speaker 3: And we now know that that doctor Fauci was obsessed
- 1:07Speaker 3: with his celebrity status in his media coverage, Senator Ram
- 1:12Speaker 3: Paul getting copies of his diary from twenty nineteen to
- 1:18Speaker 3: twenty twenty two. And doctor Anthony Fauci was a prolific journaler.
- 1:26Speaker 3: He was journaling all the time. And we now know
- 1:30Speaker 3: as a result of the fine investigative work by Senator
- 1:34Speaker 3: Ram Paul, this guy was a nutjob. Lady's an absolute
- 1:39Speaker 3: nut job, unbelievable the kind of stuff that we have learned.
- 1:45Speaker 3: One of the more interesting things is that doctor Fauci
- 1:48Speaker 3: was actually involved in a deep friendship with CNN's Jake Tamper,
- 1:54Speaker 3: and Jake Tamper would actually have doctor Fauci over to
- 1:58Speaker 3: his home for private dent. Fauci called it friendship building,
- 2:04Speaker 3: and it was so disturbing when you read through the
- 2:10Speaker 3: journal entries, it's very clear that CNM was now in
- 2:13Speaker 3: cahoots with doctor Fauci and advancing all of these fake narratives.
- 2:20Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting Fauci Fauci early on. I think
- 2:24Speaker 3: a lot of people, a lot of folks in the
- 2:26Speaker 3: conservative movement especially, very concerned about Fauci. But this guy
- 2:31Speaker 3: was literally lionized by the legacy media. They made him
- 2:35Speaker 3: out to be like idol Jesus, Jesus in a lab coat.
- 2:44Speaker 3: I mean, it was really remarkable. I mean they called it,
- 2:46Speaker 3: we were calling him what Saint Fauci at the time.
- 2:50Speaker 3: And Fauci was going on in a lot of these
- 2:54Speaker 3: well for example, March twenty first, that was when deaths
- 2:59Speaker 3: were at ninety eight hundred in America and he's gushing
- 3:04Speaker 3: in his journal, big front page article about me appeared
- 3:07Speaker 3: in the Washington Post, very flattering. My national and international
- 3:11Speaker 3: fame is explosive and really unimaginable. This is literally coming
- 3:15Speaker 3: from the journal injuries here. It's not hyperbole to say
- 3:20Speaker 3: that today I am the most famous and talked about
- 3:23Speaker 3: person in the country and one of the most recognizable
- 3:26Speaker 3: persons in the world. The press is going wild with me.
- 3:30Speaker 3: This is March twenty second, thirty thousand dead people in America,
- 3:34Speaker 3: and this is what found she's writing in his personal journal.
- 3:37Speaker 3: Press is going wild with me. Front page in Washington
- 3:42Speaker 3: Post yesterday, op ed by Marine Dowd in New York
- 3:45Speaker 3: Times today about me, profile by Peter Nicholas on me
- 3:50Speaker 3: in the Atlantic. He was literally tracking the body count
- 3:55Speaker 3: and his press clippings on the same page in the Journal.
- 4:00Speaker 3: And this is some pretty sick stuff here, ladies and gentlemen.
- 4:04Speaker 3: Now here's something that's interesting. Fauci was denying in public
- 4:11Speaker 3: that he ever said anything about shutting down schools and
- 4:14Speaker 3: shutting down the bars and the restaurants and all that
- 4:17Speaker 3: kind of stuff. I want you to listen to cut
- 4:19Speaker 3: number four. Please.
- 4:20Speaker 4: They always come back and say Fauci was responsible.
- 4:23Speaker 5: For closing schools.
- 4:24Speaker 6: I had nothing yet do Let's get down to the facts.
- 4:29Speaker 3: Well, let's get down to the facts, because in his
- 4:32Speaker 3: actual journal jury he admits that he spoke with Bill Deblasio. Remember,
- 4:37Speaker 3: comrade to Blasio, he was a mayor of New York
- 4:39Speaker 3: City at the time. And here's what he said. I
- 4:43Speaker 3: spoke with Bill Deblasio and convinced him, based on what
- 4:46Speaker 3: I was saying publicly and my conversation tonight, to close
- 4:50Speaker 3: the NYC schools. I went on to tell him that
- 4:53Speaker 3: he should close the bars and restaurants in New York City,
- 4:56Speaker 3: and he said he would base this on my recommendation.
- 5:00Speaker 3: I had a similar call with Anne O'Leary, the chief
- 5:02Speaker 3: of staff of Governor Gavin Nuskum of California, and said
- 5:06Speaker 3: that based on my TV appearances today and yesterday, the
- 5:09Speaker 3: governors decided to close the schools in California as well
- 5:13Speaker 3: as the bars and the restaurants. And then he says,
- 5:17Speaker 3: when I left the White House in Cross Pennsylvania Avenue,
- 5:20Speaker 3: several cars haunked their horns and shouted thank you out
- 5:23Speaker 3: the window. Unbelievable, this guy so full of himself, and
- 5:31Speaker 3: yet because of his policies, because of his recommendations. How
- 5:35Speaker 3: many of you actually got the clot shot and or
- 5:39Speaker 3: maybe a loved one got the clot shot ended up
- 5:42Speaker 3: losing their lives. We now know that more people died
- 5:46Speaker 3: from the getting the vaccine itself than the actual having
- 5:49Speaker 3: the actual chinavirus. So anyway, Peter Navarro is out there
- 5:55Speaker 3: and he's calling Fauci the doctor Frankenstein of the modern
- 5:59Speaker 3: air and said that Fauci has the blood of millions
- 6:03Speaker 3: of people on his hands. I don't understand why this guy,
- 6:06Speaker 3: and hear me on this, I don't understand why this
- 6:09Speaker 3: guy is still walking around a free man. Why has
- 6:12Speaker 3: he not been charged with anything? Now, Senator Paul releasing
- 6:18Speaker 3: what more than a thousand pages of these diary entries,
- 6:22Speaker 3: and it shows that the media, oh this is great.
- 6:26Speaker 3: Fauci at one point said the media is hot and
- 6:30Speaker 3: heavy about me. Okay, that's just creepy, just creepy. And
- 6:37Speaker 3: then there was another journal entry where Fauci said that
- 6:40Speaker 3: his star actually outshines President Trump. Now, Senator Paul says
- 6:47Speaker 3: that Fauci is going to answer to the American people,
- 6:49Speaker 3: and I appreciate that, but my question is, when is
- 6:52Speaker 3: this guy going to be held accountable? When is he
- 6:55Speaker 3: going to go to jail. When is he going to
- 6:57Speaker 3: be found liable in the deaths of tens of thousands
- 7:00Speaker 3: of American citizens? When is that going to happen? And
- 7:05Speaker 3: excuse me and no offense here, Senator Paul. But if
- 7:08Speaker 3: that's not going to happen, is the what's the point
- 7:12Speaker 3: of all of this? In all seriousness? What is what
- 7:16Speaker 3: is the point of all of it? Nine oh one
- 7:19Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh
- 7:22Speaker 3: one two six zero five nine two six based on
- 7:27Speaker 3: everything we know life in prison. I mean, the guy.
- 7:31Speaker 3: Is there an argument that could be made that he
- 7:33Speaker 3: is responsible for the deaths of all of these people?
- 7:39Speaker 3: I mean, this is crazy stuff. Doctor Fauci hid what
- 7:45Speaker 3: he knew about the origins of COVID, and he was
- 7:50Speaker 3: more focused on his celebrity and fame than he was
- 7:53Speaker 3: actually on the science of how the virus actually started.
- 8:00Speaker 3: This is very, very disturbing, and hopefully we will, hopefully
- 8:04Speaker 3: we'll get to the bottom of some of this today
- 8:07Speaker 3: when Fauci testifies before the Senate. But this is very disturbing,
- 8:14Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen, because a lot of people died, a
- 8:17Speaker 3: lot of you lost loved ones, grandma's, grandpa's, mom's dads.
- 8:21Speaker 3: Some of you lost children as a result of what
- 8:24Speaker 3: doctor Fauci was spewing every single day. Look at and
- 8:28Speaker 3: just think about this when you look at the nature
- 8:31Speaker 3: of kids in Americans today. They're saying, one of the
- 8:33Speaker 3: reasons why kids have just gone slap crazy is because
- 8:37Speaker 3: the schools were shut down during the during the China virus.
- 8:43Speaker 3: Remember that a lot of kids could even graduate high
- 8:46Speaker 3: school they had you know, it was ridiculous Americans. And
- 8:54Speaker 3: again this is I love how this one person wrote
- 8:57Speaker 3: about this. Her name is Carolyn Rocky on Twitter on
- 9:01Speaker 3: x she said, while Americans buried their loved ones, Anthony
- 9:05Speaker 3: Fauci was reading his own press clippings. She said, we
- 9:10Speaker 3: know this because he wrote it all down. Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
- 9:17Speaker 3: So doctor Fauci is going to be testifying this week,
- 9:19Speaker 3: and we've got to get to the bottom of it.
- 9:22Speaker 3: But I'm just curious for you, what is the acceptable
- 9:25Speaker 3: endgame for Anthony Fauci. What is the end game? Do
- 9:31Speaker 3: you remember back in those times when families had to
- 9:36Speaker 3: grieve through windows, loved ones were in the hospital, and
- 9:39Speaker 3: you were not allowed to go into the hospital to
- 9:41Speaker 3: visit your loved one. Many grandmas and grandpa's had to
- 9:45Speaker 3: die alone. Some children had to die alone. Their parents
- 9:49Speaker 3: were not even allowed in the hospital rooms to be
- 9:54Speaker 3: with them. By the way, Janis Dean from over at Fox,
- 9:58Speaker 3: and I was just I was just waiting all of
- 10:00Speaker 3: this to come out because I was still at Fox
- 10:04Speaker 3: when the China virus was happening. And I'm telling you
- 10:09Speaker 3: that they really cracked down on Janistin. You know, Janistin
- 10:15Speaker 3: suffered as a result of the China virus, her family
- 10:20Speaker 3: and lost loved ones as a direct result of the
- 10:25Speaker 3: of the policies of Anthony Falci and then the Governor
- 10:29Speaker 3: of New York, Andrew Cuomo. She lost her father in
- 10:32Speaker 3: law and mother in law to the China virus, and
- 10:37Speaker 3: that drove Janis den into an activist role. And Fox
- 10:41Speaker 3: just became enraged over this, and at one point she
- 10:45Speaker 3: was ordered just to stop. They ordered her to shut
- 10:48Speaker 3: up if she wanted to keep her job. That's Fox
- 10:52Speaker 3: News for you, by the way. But anyway, it's it's
- 10:55Speaker 3: unfortunate what's happened. I hope, I hope that that Fuci
- 11:00Speaker 3: is arrested and is charged with crimes against humanity. In
- 11:05Speaker 3: my estimation, this man deserves the death penalty for what
- 11:08Speaker 3: he did, for what he put this nation through. Nine
- 11:12Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six. We're
- 11:15Speaker 3: going to get into that today. Also, there is the
- 11:20Speaker 3: President's he's it's not a little upset. The president's very
- 11:23Speaker 3: upset with John Thune, very upset with John Thune. And
- 11:30Speaker 3: he's demanding that Congress stay in session, that the Senate
- 11:34Speaker 3: not recess for the summer, and he's demanding that they
- 11:41Speaker 3: passed the Save America Act. I don't think that's going
- 11:44Speaker 3: to happen. I really don't. But there was something else
- 11:48Speaker 3: that happened over the weekend and the President sharing all
- 11:51Speaker 3: of this, and this for me is even worse than
- 11:55Speaker 3: the the Save America Act and the lack of movement
- 11:58Speaker 3: on the Save America Act. So it turns out that
- 12:03Speaker 3: John Thune has not allowed the Senate to go into recess.
- 12:08Speaker 3: All right now, this is an important thing. President Trump
- 12:14Speaker 3: is pretty upset about this. And here's the reason why
- 12:16Speaker 3: I want to read to you what the President just.
- 12:19Speaker 3: Here's what the President said, John Thune should not allow
- 12:22Speaker 3: the US Senate to leave town until it passes the
- 12:25Speaker 3: Save America Act. Or far better still, terminates a filibuster
- 12:29Speaker 3: where Republicans can then quickly pass everything they ever dreamed of,
- 12:34Speaker 3: including a full and deep throated Save America Act, the budget,
- 12:39Speaker 3: and the ever looming debt sealing Disaster nineteen twenty nine.
- 12:44Speaker 3: The Democrats will do it on day one. Can't believe
- 12:47Speaker 3: how lucky they got with the Senate leadership. And it's true,
- 12:53Speaker 3: it's true, all of it is true. Now I want
- 12:56Speaker 3: to share these numbers with you, and these are important,
- 12:59Speaker 3: important numbers. Recess appointments. So the Senate goes into recess
- 13:04Speaker 3: and that allows the president to make these recess appointments.
- 13:08Speaker 3: President Reagan was allowed to make two hundred and forty
- 13:11Speaker 3: recess appointments. President Bush, that's H. W. Bush seventy seven.
- 13:17Speaker 3: President George W. Bush one hundred and seventy one. Guess
- 13:23Speaker 3: how many recess appointments John Thune has allowed Donald Trump
- 13:27Speaker 3: to make? Zero, not a one, not a single one.
- 13:31Speaker 3: What does that tell you about John Thune. I'm going
- 13:33Speaker 3: to tell you what it says about John Thune. The
- 13:35Speaker 3: man's a Democrat. That's what it tells me. This is unacceptable.
- 13:40Speaker 3: So the question, and again, Senator Mike Lee and all
- 13:43Speaker 3: these other folks are out there, and man, these are
- 13:45Speaker 3: Twitter warriors. But when push comes to shove, these guys
- 13:49Speaker 3: do tytali squat. Now. I want somebody to explain to
- 13:54Speaker 3: me why John Thun is not making any recess appointment. Well,
- 13:58Speaker 3: I'll tell you the reason why. The reason why, ladies
- 14:01Speaker 3: and gentlemen, is because John Thune is a raging Democrat.
- 14:04Speaker 3: He opposes President Trump and the entire Trump agenda, all
- 14:10Speaker 3: of it. And John Thune is actively working to stop
- 14:16Speaker 3: the President's agenda. That's what's going on here. The broader question.
- 14:20Speaker 3: Everybody's oh, we got to call John Thun's office. Forget that.
- 14:23Speaker 3: You need to be calling your senator's office. And here's
- 14:25Speaker 3: what you need to tell them. You need to tell
- 14:28Speaker 3: these senators, these Republican senators, that if they don't get
- 14:32Speaker 3: rid of John Thune, we're going to get rid of you.
- 14:35Speaker 3: It's that simple. And that goes for Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Langford,
- 14:41Speaker 3: the whole lot of them. If you are not going
- 14:45Speaker 3: to take care of your problem in the Senate with
- 14:49Speaker 3: your leadership, you got to go too. And I'll just
- 14:52Speaker 3: throw this out there. This is just infuriating when it
- 14:56Speaker 3: comes to John Thun. I'm just wondering if we need
- 15:00Speaker 3: to make a maybe make a statement in South Dakota,
- 15:03Speaker 3: which is where John Thune is from, and we just
- 15:06Speaker 3: tell every week campaign against every single Republican in South Dakota.
- 15:09Speaker 3: I mean, is South Dakota expendable? Well, if we've got
- 15:14Speaker 3: to send a message here, and if the good people
- 15:17Speaker 3: of South Dakota aren't going to take care of this problem,
- 15:20Speaker 3: and the good people of the United States Senator aren't
- 15:22Speaker 3: going to take care of this problem, then maybe, just
- 15:24Speaker 3: maybe we need to eradicate the Republicans in South Dakota.
- 15:30Speaker 3: Just vote them all out of office and vote every
- 15:33Speaker 3: single Republican they hear me on this, every Republican Senator
- 15:36Speaker 3: who is not openly saying we have to remove John Thune,
- 15:40Speaker 3: they've got to go too. That's really the point we're
- 15:44Speaker 3: att in all of this. All Right, I've got to
- 15:45Speaker 3: take a break. Nine oh one two six zero five
- 15:47Speaker 3: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five,
- 15:51Speaker 3: nine two six. This is the Todd Starns Show.
- 15:54Speaker 7: Every generation must decide whether it will recognize deceit before
- 15:59Speaker 7: it becomes no. This weekend Salem News Channels America two
- 16:03Speaker 7: fifty film series presents The Fall of Deceit, a sobering
- 16:08Speaker 7: documentary on government overreach, faith under pressure, and the cost
- 16:13Speaker 7: of abandoning truth. Launched Saturday and Sunday at seven pm
- 16:17Speaker 7: Eastern on Salem News Channel.
- 16:33Speaker 3: All Right, welcome back, everybody. It's the Todd Stearns Radio Show.
- 16:36Speaker 3: This is interesting story from Cracker Barrel. Any of you
- 16:40Speaker 3: folks a big Cracker Barrel fans out there. So Cracker
- 16:44Speaker 3: Barrel has been in the throes of controversy for a
- 16:47Speaker 3: while now. They hired a woman named Julie Messino as
- 16:52Speaker 3: their chief executive officer and she immediately stepped in and
- 16:56Speaker 3: she came from the Dei, the world of Dei, and
- 17:00Speaker 3: so she immediately said, well, the problem with Cracker Barrel
- 17:05Speaker 3: is is not the food. It's the it's the image.
- 17:10Speaker 3: It's the vibe. As the young people say these days,
- 17:14Speaker 3: it's the vibe. So she spent more than seven hundred
- 17:18Speaker 3: million dollars to turn Cracker Barrel old country store into Idle,
- 17:23Speaker 3: this chic boutique for millennials and gen zers. More than
- 17:28Speaker 3: seven hundred million dollars. She decluttered the restaurants and she
- 17:33Speaker 3: replaced the Southern charm in hospitality with basically it looked
- 17:37Speaker 3: like a dentist office. I mean it really did. It
- 17:40Speaker 3: kind of got that vibe. And then they got rid
- 17:42Speaker 3: of the good country eating and they replaced it with
- 17:45Speaker 3: plant based sausage. And then they had to start serving
- 17:48Speaker 3: booze because that was the only way to wash down
- 17:51Speaker 3: the plant based sausage. I mean it really, it's a
- 17:54Speaker 3: slippery slope. So anyway to make matters even worse, this
- 17:58Speaker 3: is the woman who removed the bear and the cracker
- 18:01Speaker 3: from the logo. You know, the old the old timer,
- 18:04Speaker 3: Uncle Herschel, the white dude, the old white guy. So
- 18:07Speaker 3: they got rid of the cracker and the barrel. Well,
- 18:11Speaker 3: it turns out that Cracker Barrel customers actually loved all
- 18:13Speaker 3: that clutter, and they loved uncle Uncle Herschel, and they
- 18:16Speaker 3: loved his favorite breakfast with pork sausage and not something
- 18:19Speaker 3: that came out of the dirt. So now they have
- 18:23Speaker 3: decided to give this woman the HEVs. She's stepping down
- 18:28Speaker 3: and they're bringing somebody else in. But again, folks, are
- 18:35Speaker 3: you are you still eating at Cracker Barrel? Because I
- 18:37Speaker 3: will say this and this is just this is my
- 18:40Speaker 3: take here, but it just seems to me that Cracker
- 18:43Speaker 3: Barrel is to Southern food what the olive garden is
- 18:47Speaker 3: to Italian food. It might, it might get you buying
- 18:51Speaker 3: a pinch, But if if you're going to be eating
- 18:53Speaker 3: at Cracker Barrel or waffle House, what do you pick?
- 18:57Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 19:00Speaker 3: This is the Todd Sterns Show. All right, welcome back, everybody.
- 19:19Speaker 3: This is the Todd Sterns Radio Show. Happy to have
- 19:22Speaker 3: you with us today. I want to go back to
- 19:25Speaker 3: this Cracker Barrel thing for just a moment. And again,
- 19:28Speaker 3: the big story, this is the lead story on Fox
- 19:31Speaker 3: News Channel, is that the chief executive officer at Cracker
- 19:35Speaker 3: Barrel has now been given well the heave ho. They're
- 19:38Speaker 3: saying she's stepping aside. But yeah, you can kind of
- 19:41Speaker 3: figure all of that out. The reality, though, is that
- 19:45Speaker 3: going to be enough to fix what is broken with
- 19:49Speaker 3: Cracker Barrel? And I wish they would just call me.
- 19:51Speaker 3: I'm happy to help them out. I won't even charge
- 19:53Speaker 3: him a single penny. The only thing they got to
- 19:55Speaker 3: do is bring all the junk back, and they decluttered,
- 19:59Speaker 3: they got to recla and then they got to start
- 20:01Speaker 3: making all the food right there on the premises. They
- 20:03Speaker 3: got to stop bringing in and freezing stuff. They got
- 20:06Speaker 3: to make it fresh. And I think, you know, I
- 20:08Speaker 3: think folks will be forgiving. I want to go to
- 20:11Speaker 3: the Patriot mobile newsmaker line. Loop Ball joins us. He
- 20:14Speaker 3: is president and CEO of Compass Strategies, and Luke, I
- 20:18Speaker 3: know you're a good Southern guy, and I was trying
- 20:21Speaker 3: to explain to the great listeners that that Cracker Barrel
- 20:26Speaker 3: is to Southern food what the olive garden might be
- 20:29Speaker 3: to Italian food. Is that a pretty good way to
- 20:32Speaker 3: describe it?
- 20:33Speaker 5: To me?
- 20:34Speaker 8: Cracker Barrel was like the premier location to go to
- 20:38Speaker 8: when you had celebrated something. We got dressed up for it.
- 20:42Speaker 8: You didn't break out cologne unless you were going to
- 20:44Speaker 8: Cracker Barrel. And when I told my wife that I
- 20:46Speaker 8: considered Cracker Barrel fancy dining, she almost didn't go on
- 20:50Speaker 8: a first date with me. So I had to expand
- 20:52Speaker 8: my repertoire a little bit. But yes, this is the
- 20:56Speaker 8: one location that we would go to growing up that
- 20:58Speaker 8: was like we're going out to eat, and we didn't
- 21:01Speaker 8: have to say where we were going. It was Cracker Barrel.
- 21:03Speaker 8: But I feel like it has been on the decline
- 21:05Speaker 8: a little bit, so maybe we can get back to
- 21:07Speaker 8: cooking on location like you're talking about, and not having
- 21:10Speaker 8: to ship things in from wherever it's coming from.
- 21:12Speaker 3: You know, I predicted this many many years ago when
- 21:15Speaker 3: they first started serving the plant based sausage. I said, uh, oh,
- 21:19Speaker 3: this is a slippery slope. Then they had to start
- 21:21Speaker 3: selling booze to wash down the plant based sausage, and
- 21:25Speaker 3: then they finally decided, okay, we're going to get rid
- 21:28Speaker 3: of old Uncle Herschel, who was the actual old timer.
- 21:31Speaker 3: You know, he's actually the logo the guy and the
- 21:33Speaker 3: logo is actually a real guy, and they gave him
- 21:37Speaker 3: the heap hoe. The irony is that she literally got
- 21:40Speaker 3: rid of the cracker and the barrel, which is the
- 21:43Speaker 3: whole essence of cracker barrel.
- 21:45Speaker 8: So we didn't have to look at the menu, when
- 21:47Speaker 8: if you have to look at the menu when you
- 21:49Speaker 8: walk into Cracker Barrel, then you're probably not a repeat customer.
- 21:53Speaker 8: We go in there and we open up the menu
- 21:56Speaker 8: really just to see like, okay, what if they shifted around,
- 21:59Speaker 8: what other items of they come up with, and how
- 22:02Speaker 8: much is the price gone up because of the economy
- 22:04Speaker 8: or whatever. But if you walk in there and sit down,
- 22:07Speaker 8: you don't need to look at a menu. You should
- 22:09Speaker 8: be able to just order exactly what you've gotten for
- 22:11Speaker 8: the last two decades, which is what I've been doing.
- 22:14Speaker 8: And if they change it up at all, it's it's
- 22:17Speaker 8: rarely going to go in a good direction. You don't
- 22:19Speaker 8: mess with something you got that's good.
- 22:22Speaker 3: I'm ashamed to admit what I'm about to admit to you, Loop,
- 22:25Speaker 3: But years ago, when I was a reporter, when I
- 22:28Speaker 3: first got hired at Fox, I was a reporter and
- 22:31Speaker 3: they sent me to cover a terrible commuter plane crash
- 22:34Speaker 3: in Buffalo, New York, and it was like February, freezing cold.
- 22:38Speaker 3: I'd never been to Buffalo, and I got my rental car.
- 22:41Speaker 3: I'm driving to the crash site, and what do I see.
- 22:45Speaker 3: I see a cracker barrel and I'm like, thank God
- 22:48Speaker 3: for cracker barrel. So I actually pulled in and grabbed
- 22:52Speaker 3: a meal before I went to the crash site. You
- 22:54Speaker 3: have to but to gotten to your point, you have
- 22:56Speaker 3: to do that.
- 22:57Speaker 8: I mean, when I travel for I Land and find
- 23:01Speaker 8: the nearest cracker barrel or Chick fil A, and if
- 23:05Speaker 8: they're like you know, within driving distance of one another.
- 23:07Speaker 8: I'll go pick the cracker Barrel. And I don't even
- 23:10Speaker 8: have a problem sitting by myself there, honestly, Like I
- 23:13Speaker 8: just go find a booth, I play the Peg game
- 23:15Speaker 8: by myself, and I, you know, sit on my phone
- 23:17Speaker 8: and do whatever. I mean, that's just home cooking the staples.
- 23:21Speaker 8: And if they can get back to some of the
- 23:23Speaker 8: things that made it great, then I'm all for making
- 23:25Speaker 8: cracker Barrel great again.
- 23:26Speaker 3: All right, and well let's see if we can't make
- 23:28Speaker 3: the Republican Party great again. Look at the President's really
- 23:31Speaker 3: upset over the lack of action happening in the Senate,
- 23:36Speaker 3: and for me, I just see this to be a
- 23:39Speaker 3: very very serious situation that we're dealing with here. The
- 23:43Speaker 3: President over the weekend, sharing a graphic illustrating his point,
- 23:48Speaker 3: is that John Thune has not allowed this president to
- 23:51Speaker 3: make a single recess appointment. I'm curious, why do you
- 23:55Speaker 3: think that that is? What do you think the the
- 23:57Speaker 3: is going on behind the scenes here?
- 24:00Speaker 8: Well, I love the house side, which is where I
- 24:02Speaker 8: come from, because you can be more of a rebel rouser.
- 24:05Speaker 8: You can get things accomplished, and oftentimes you can pull
- 24:08Speaker 8: together a pretty decent coalition of people, because I would
- 24:11Speaker 8: submit that in the House of Representatives you are closer
- 24:14Speaker 8: to have been a private citizen than you are in
- 24:17Speaker 8: the Senate. Right Like normally in the Senate, you have
- 24:19Speaker 8: to work your way up, you have to fundraise, You're
- 24:22Speaker 8: stuck around lobbyist a lot of times, and they seem
- 24:24Speaker 8: to get entrenched in this mentality that they are the
- 24:27Speaker 8: elites of town. They know better than the American people.
- 24:31Speaker 8: On the House side, you know, you could have been
- 24:33Speaker 8: some local business owner and then suddenly you're elected to
- 24:35Speaker 8: Congress and people are holding you accountable every two years.
- 24:38Speaker 8: I think that's part of the problem. Over on the
- 24:41Speaker 8: Senate side. On a couple of these things, it is
- 24:43Speaker 8: a sheer numbers game. But the President and Thune need
- 24:46Speaker 8: to join hands and pressure those individual people and stop
- 24:50Speaker 8: going into recess all of the time. People like Mike
- 24:53Speaker 8: Lee need to go down to the floor and vote
- 24:56Speaker 8: to or make a motion to hold the Senate in
- 24:59Speaker 8: session int so they actually start getting stuff accomplished. I
- 25:02Speaker 8: keep saying this over and over again. What good is
- 25:04Speaker 8: the House and the Senate in the GOP hands if
- 25:07Speaker 8: we don't get anything accomplished? At the beginning of each
- 25:10Speaker 8: term when we have the House in the Senate, I say,
- 25:12Speaker 8: it's like signing up for a bad time share. There's
- 25:14Speaker 8: a lot of excitement at the beginning and it's all
- 25:16Speaker 8: downhill from there. And that seems to be the place
- 25:19Speaker 8: that we're in right now, because there is a long,
- 25:21Speaker 8: long list of things that Thoon and the Senate could
- 25:24Speaker 8: have done that they refuse to do for this president
- 25:26Speaker 8: and it needs to change.
- 25:27Speaker 3: And again, going set aside the Save Americak, set aside
- 25:31Speaker 3: the filibuster, why is John Thoon not allowing any recess
- 25:36Speaker 3: appointments that I think that, to me is the more
- 25:38Speaker 3: important pressing question here. And I appreciate all the harsh
- 25:43Speaker 3: rhetoric coming out on social media, but you know, as
- 25:46Speaker 3: of what twelve forty one pm today, not a single
- 25:50Speaker 3: Republican in the Senate has said anything or done anything
- 25:54Speaker 3: to fix this problem or at least put us on
- 25:56Speaker 3: the road to fixing this problem.
- 25:58Speaker 8: And I think it goes to that mental that they
- 26:01Speaker 8: want to believe they will outlast this president in office,
- 26:05Speaker 8: and so they're trying to slow walk to the end
- 26:08Speaker 8: of the term and then if we lose the majority
- 26:10Speaker 8: in the House, and the Senate. They can just throw
- 26:12Speaker 8: up their hands and say, well, we don't have the majority.
- 26:14Speaker 8: We can't do anything. Even with the majority. Apparently that's
- 26:18Speaker 8: not enough that they can't do simple basic things like
- 26:21Speaker 8: election integrity and recess appointments. Because you can be dogon
- 26:25Speaker 8: sure when the Democrats come back into power, they're going
- 26:27Speaker 8: to be thrown out the filibuster. They're going to be
- 26:29Speaker 8: throwing out all of the rules in the kitchen sink.
- 26:31Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 26:32Speaker 8: So if they don't get serious about it now, then again,
- 26:35Speaker 8: it's almost as if we don't have a pendulum swinging
- 26:39Speaker 8: in Washington from the Democrat to the Republican Party. It's
- 26:42Speaker 8: just from the Democrats to a lukewarm party as a placeholder.
- 26:46Speaker 3: By the way, Luke. Just moments ago, Senator Mitch McConnell
- 26:50Speaker 3: his office released a new proof of life photo showing
- 26:55Speaker 3: him and his wife. Allegedly this was taken recently, that's
- 26:59Speaker 3: what we're being led to believe. The statement said that
- 27:03Speaker 3: McConnell has now been discharged from hospital care, but is
- 27:06Speaker 3: not yet medically cleared to leave the rehab facility and
- 27:09Speaker 3: return to the office. My whole point, I just I'm
- 27:13Speaker 3: not buy it anything they're selling here, and I appreciate
- 27:17Speaker 3: Scott Jennings, but if you can have a twenty minute
- 27:19Speaker 3: conversation with Scott Jennings, then by golly, you should be
- 27:22Speaker 3: able to have a twenty minute conversation with a Fox
- 27:25Speaker 3: News anchor or a Newsmax host.
- 27:27Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 27:28Speaker 8: I mean the same thing with any member of Congress
- 27:31Speaker 8: that just disappears for a length of time and says
- 27:33Speaker 8: it's a medical issue.
- 27:34Speaker 10: Look.
- 27:34Speaker 8: I work for a member of Congress on Capitol Hill
- 27:36Speaker 8: who had reoccurring legitimate medical issues, and anytime that he
- 27:40Speaker 8: had to duck out for a few weeks, we would
- 27:43Speaker 8: communicate specifically about what we were going to put out
- 27:46Speaker 8: in a statement, because he has an obligation to his
- 27:49Speaker 8: constituents to explain what's going on if he's going to
- 27:51Speaker 8: be missing. Both people need to know, Hey, I had,
- 27:54Speaker 8: you know, an issue with a you know, a medical
- 27:56Speaker 8: thing that I have to pop into the hospital for,
- 27:58Speaker 8: but I plan to be back out. That constant communication
- 28:01Speaker 8: is crucial, and if you don't give that to your constituents,
- 28:04Speaker 8: it allows for all of these random theories to fly
- 28:07Speaker 8: all over the place. And I would submit that the
- 28:10Speaker 8: responsibility lies with the senator or the member for not
- 28:13Speaker 8: communicating effectively nothing. You're exactly right, Todd. If you can
- 28:17Speaker 8: have a twenty minute phone call, you can have a
- 28:19Speaker 8: four minute video or a zoom call, or a news
- 28:22Speaker 8: interview or something. You owe that to the people you're representing.
- 28:25Speaker 3: Lout Ball is with us today, the president and CEO
- 28:28Speaker 3: of Compass Strategies, Luke let's talk. We're one hundred days
- 28:32Speaker 3: out now from the midterms, and as much as the
- 28:35Speaker 3: Republicans may be batching this, I still think they're not
- 28:38Speaker 3: only going to win. I think they're going to pick
- 28:40Speaker 3: up seats here only because the Democrats are completely imploding
- 28:44Speaker 3: on this whole socialism issue. Curious to hear your thoughts
- 28:48Speaker 3: on that.
- 28:48Speaker 8: Yeah, I feel like I'm running against a ghosts sometimes
- 28:51Speaker 8: where the Republicans are. Because I went to go when
- 28:54Speaker 8: I was preparing for a TV hit last week look
- 28:56Speaker 8: up the Democrat platform for the midterm elections in twenty
- 28:59Speaker 8: twenty six. I googled it multiple times, clicked on multiple links.
- 29:03Speaker 8: It kept bringing me back to the failed Kamala Harris
- 29:06Speaker 8: twenty twenty four Democrat platform, and that's the only thing
- 29:10Speaker 8: that they have. There was a report today that just
- 29:12Speaker 8: leaked that allegedly the DNC chair during a contested meeting
- 29:16Speaker 8: recently threw a cell phone at a junior staffer. That
- 29:19Speaker 8: just epitomizes what's going on over at the Democrat Party
- 29:22Speaker 8: right now. They're fighting a civil war. We're fighting against
- 29:26Speaker 8: the Democrats, they're fighting against Republicans and themselves. If they
- 29:30Speaker 8: aren't actually putting up any policy proposals to go against
- 29:33Speaker 8: what the Republicans and President Trump have laid out for
- 29:35Speaker 8: the American people, and they still think they're going to
- 29:38Speaker 8: win the midterm elections, then have at that mentality until November,
- 29:42Speaker 8: because we are going to trouse them. Not only do
- 29:44Speaker 8: we have better policy solutions, but we also have been
- 29:47Speaker 8: redistricturing across the country, which I would point out the
- 29:50Speaker 8: Democrats have been doing in courts for decades, and just
- 29:53Speaker 8: recently Republicans realized that we have the power in our
- 29:56Speaker 8: state legislators to actually do the same thing using the
- 29:59Speaker 8: power of vested in US. So we've been playing ball
- 30:02Speaker 8: on multiple fronts. And while I think it's easy and
- 30:05Speaker 8: lazy to say the Democrats have an advantage, if you
- 30:08Speaker 8: look at sheer numbers, it's not a slam dunk for
- 30:10Speaker 8: the Dems in fact, i'd probably submit it's an uphill climb.
- 30:14Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I no, absolutely, And I only say that
- 30:17Speaker 3: because the reporting of the story that you mentioned it
- 30:21Speaker 3: did not come from Fox News Channel. That came from
- 30:23Speaker 3: the New York Times. They were quoting six Democrat sources,
- 30:28Speaker 3: I'm sorry, five sources that said that said Ken Martin,
- 30:32Speaker 3: the DNC chair through that phone. But for me, the
- 30:36Speaker 3: bigger story here, and you know this, it's all about
- 30:39Speaker 3: money when it comes to politics. The Democrats are literally
- 30:44Speaker 3: in debt right now. They've got no money. They've got
- 30:47Speaker 3: no money. Meanwhile, you've got the Republicans out there, and
- 30:49Speaker 3: I'll give you here are the actual numbers. They had
- 30:52Speaker 3: sixteen point three million dollars in cash on hand eighteen
- 30:56Speaker 3: point five million dollars in debt in June. Right the
- 31:00Speaker 3: Republicans have one hundred and twenty eight point five million
- 31:04Speaker 3: dollars in cash and no debt. Luke, what does that
- 31:07Speaker 3: tell you?
- 31:08Speaker 8: It tells you that even the donors in the DNC
- 31:11Speaker 8: don't trust them enough after the failed twenty twenty four
- 31:14Speaker 8: election to give even the smallest amount for them to
- 31:17Speaker 8: climb out of their own debt. They spent five thousand
- 31:20Speaker 8: dollars on Kamala Harris's fingernails before her major events, and
- 31:23Speaker 8: millions astroturfing her campaigns with all of these major celebrities
- 31:27Speaker 8: to make it appear as if she was doing well.
- 31:30Speaker 8: And now again I am just astounded that we are
- 31:33Speaker 8: two years from the last election and they've they've not
- 31:37Speaker 8: made any sort of accomplishments. The only people who have
- 31:41Speaker 8: released a policy platform have been the Democrat Socialists, who
- 31:44Speaker 8: I would submit are now the leaders of the party.
- 31:47Speaker 8: There's no energy behind the so called moderates, There's no
- 31:50Speaker 8: energy beside the behind the centrist They are the only
- 31:53Speaker 8: ones that seem to be leading in any capacity.
- 31:57Speaker 3: Luke, We're going to leave it there. My friend, Luke
- 32:00Speaker 3: dot org. Is it dot com or dot org?
- 32:03Speaker 8: It is dot org and if I can buy dot com,
- 32:05Speaker 8: it's been registered since before I was born. But I'll
- 32:07Speaker 8: get it one of these days. But for now, it's
- 32:09Speaker 8: lukebal dot org.
- 32:10Speaker 3: All right, lukebal dot org. Everybody write that down, go
- 32:13Speaker 3: check out all of Luke's great work. President, Chief executive
- 32:17Speaker 3: Officer of Compass Strategies. Luke, good seeing of my friend,
- 32:21Speaker 3: Thanks brother, take care of time. All right, there you go,
- 32:24Speaker 3: No I'm feeling Look, I'm feeling pretty good and on
- 32:28Speaker 3: a number of on a number of levels when it
- 32:31Speaker 3: comes to the midterm elections, and ladies and gentlemen, the
- 32:34Speaker 3: reality is, I don't even think the Liberal Democrats and
- 32:38Speaker 3: hear me on this, I don't even think the Liberal
- 32:40Speaker 3: Democrats in their heart of hearts want this, want their
- 32:44Speaker 3: party to go down this path towards embracing communism. I
- 32:48Speaker 3: just simply cannot believe that. The other good thing here
- 32:52Speaker 3: is that young people typically are not going out in voting.
- 32:54Speaker 3: So these young, Wokeliberals are not the voting type young Conservatives.
- 33:00Speaker 3: They're out there and droves voting. So I'm feeling pretty
- 33:03Speaker 3: good about our chances in the midterms. I think, not
- 33:08Speaker 3: only do we maintain control of the House and the Senate,
- 33:11Speaker 3: but we also gained some ground as well. All Right,
- 33:14Speaker 3: we're going to take a quick break. We've got Edward
- 33:16Speaker 3: and Georgia on hold. The phone lines are open, by
- 33:18Speaker 3: the way, nine oh one two six zero five nine
- 33:21Speaker 3: two six our number. This is the Todd Stearns Show.

- 34:54Speaker 3: wants to wain in on doctor Fauci. Hi, Edward, what's
- 34:57Speaker 3: on your mind today?
- 34:59Speaker 11: Yes, i'd got struck and mentioning one thing about my mother. First,
- 35:03Speaker 11: she got two of the pier shots. I did not
- 35:05Speaker 11: get any of the shot. The last vaccine I had
- 35:07Speaker 11: was back at flew vaccine back in two thousand and two,
- 35:10Speaker 11: twenty four years ago. Last vaccine of ATAPT I got.
- 35:13Speaker 11: I don't get any more, but I think they probably
- 35:17Speaker 11: made me autistic. The vaccines I got probably have made
- 35:20Speaker 11: me off this and they've been diagnosed. But my mother
- 35:22Speaker 11: got I guess my advice. She got two of the
- 35:23Speaker 11: piser vaccines and she dead now. She died of pancreatic cancer.
- 35:28Speaker 11: She got two of the you know one that's two
- 35:29Speaker 11: of the pireer nazis dead of PANCT. She died of
- 35:32Speaker 11: PANCT cancer. Since then and as far as as far
- 35:35Speaker 11: as doctor Fauci is concerned, I've read email. I've read
- 35:39Speaker 11: the screen shots internet screenshots of of emails that people
- 35:45Speaker 11: have that doctor Faluci has sent the people. They'll ask
- 35:48Speaker 11: him a question and he'll give like a one word
- 35:50Speaker 11: answer or a two or three word answer sold them.
- 35:52Speaker 11: The screenshots I've seen of his email for people, like
- 35:56Speaker 11: when I asked him something, he's communicating field via email
- 35:59Speaker 11: one or two three words, maybe answer every half a
- 36:01Speaker 11: dozen seven eight words at most. But yet you're saying
- 36:04Speaker 11: that in this journal of doctor Faucy, journal diwary, whatever
- 36:08Speaker 11: it does, where he's writing personally, where he knows nobody's
- 36:11Speaker 11: going to see it. You know, he's assumed it's going
- 36:12Speaker 11: to be a he's assumed his journal or a dowery,
- 36:15Speaker 11: whatever's called. He assumes that's going to remain personal in
- 36:18Speaker 11: pract but nobody's gonna see it. He's very flowery, writes
- 36:21Speaker 11: out a lot of a lot of linguistically elegant, writes
- 36:25Speaker 11: out a whole lot of stuff in his personal diary.
- 36:27Speaker 11: Yet in his emails to people it's just one or
- 36:30Speaker 11: two or maybe half a dozen seven eight wards at most.
- 36:33Speaker 11: He's very short and very to the point, and very
- 36:36Speaker 11: abrupt in his emails.
- 36:37Speaker 3: So what's your point here, Edward. Yeah, let's get to
- 36:39Speaker 3: the point here. We've only got about thirty seconds.
- 36:41Speaker 11: Yeah, great, he's I could tell then that in my
- 36:45Speaker 11: just a hunt right there, I could My hunt right
- 36:47Speaker 11: then was he had was trying to hide something, and
- 36:50Speaker 11: you're reading his emails like screenshots I've seen on the
- 36:53Speaker 11: internet about these emails to be when he talked with people,
- 36:55Speaker 11: he's very very very abrupt and to the point, just
- 36:59Speaker 11: to a few words answers. My hunch was he was
- 37:02Speaker 11: had something to fight. He was trying to hide something,
- 37:04Speaker 11: because most of you would write, you know, longer eatoughe
- 37:08Speaker 11: longer answers. My hunt was just if he's trying to
- 37:11Speaker 11: be evasive and trying to just empty, not speak too much,
- 37:15Speaker 11: not to try to get it, not to get tangled
- 37:17Speaker 11: up on traffic.
- 37:17Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, got it. We got to leave it there.
- 37:20Speaker 3: Appreciate you calling in. We're running out of time, folks.
- 37:22Speaker 3: Gotta get to your point. Guys, thank you. Let's cut
- 37:26Speaker 3: off the phone. There you go, gotta leave it there.
- 37:28Speaker 3: Hang tight, everybody. This is the Todd Sterns show.
- 37:53Speaker 1: Fly from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 37:57Speaker 1: common sense conservative commentary.
- 38:00Speaker 2: Todd starts, all right, welcome everybody.
- 38:11Speaker 3: This is our two of the big show. Great to
- 38:14Speaker 3: have you with us today. So look, we're apparently in
- 38:18Speaker 3: another official, unofficial ceasefire with the Iranians. This is slowly,
- 38:26Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen, slowly creeping into what I think a
- 38:30Speaker 3: lot of people dreaded the first go around, is that
- 38:33Speaker 3: this could become a forever war with Iran. A lot
- 38:37Speaker 3: of folks are very concerned about that, going back to
- 38:40Speaker 3: the original reporting from the White House that this would
- 38:44Speaker 3: be at most a six week operation. That's what they
- 38:47Speaker 3: were hoping for initially, and of course that turned out
- 38:50Speaker 3: not to be the case. We were also told in
- 38:53Speaker 3: April that Iran's entire ballistic missile and drone program had
- 39:00Speaker 3: been completely destroyed. We of course know that not to
- 39:04Speaker 3: be the case. So the question is how long does
- 39:07Speaker 3: this go on and what exactly is the end game? Here? Well,
- 39:11Speaker 3: here to help us figure all of that out, as
- 39:13Speaker 3: one of the smartest guys I know, Colonel Rob Maynis
- 39:16Speaker 3: from the US Air Force, A great veteran, a great
- 39:19Speaker 3: American patriot. Rob. Good to have you with us today.
- 39:26Speaker 3: Hello Rob. All right, I'll tell you what, guys, Let's
- 39:31Speaker 3: let me know when we can get Rob back with us.
- 39:34Speaker 3: We've got a little technical problem. By the way, Rob
- 39:37Speaker 3: is the author of a great new book called What
- 39:40Speaker 3: You Can Do About It, Taking Real Action against corruption, radicalism,
- 39:45Speaker 3: and moral decay to Save America. You can get a
- 39:48Speaker 3: copy of that book really wherever you buy your books.
- 39:50Speaker 3: Robmayinis dot Com is the website address. Guys, just let
- 39:55Speaker 3: me know when we give me a thumbs up. When
- 39:57Speaker 3: we've got Rob back with us. You know, one of
- 40:00Speaker 3: the other stories we're going to talk to him about
- 40:03Speaker 3: is what's happening in Congress right now. When it comes
- 40:07Speaker 3: to when it comes to the military, four House Republicans
- 40:12Speaker 3: decided to choose political theater and identity ideology over basic
- 40:18Speaker 3: over basic fundamentals of what it means to be in
- 40:21Speaker 3: the military. On July twenty first, these four Republicans joined
- 40:25Speaker 3: every Democrat to defeat Congresswoman Lauren Bobert's Amendment So Again.
- 40:31Speaker 3: With this all ties into the National Defense Authorization Act
- 40:35Speaker 3: that would have codified the President's January twenty twenty five
- 40:38Speaker 3: executive Order. And I figure, what better place to start
- 40:41Speaker 3: than right there? I believe we've got Colonel Maynis back
- 40:45Speaker 3: with us. Colonel, good to have you.
- 40:47Speaker 6: It's good to be with you. Todd thanks for having me.
- 40:49Speaker 3: So I'm reading this piece here that you wrote in
- 40:53Speaker 3: the Daily Caller, and again we called out these four Republicans.
- 40:57Speaker 3: It just it's beyond me why they are, as you
- 41:01Speaker 3: pointed out, betraying military readiness.
- 41:05Speaker 6: Yeah, it's puzzling, Todd. Uh, I don't get it. Uh,
- 41:09Speaker 6: and I think at the average Republican voter doesn't get
- 41:12Speaker 6: it from these particular guys. Uh.
- 41:15Speaker 4: You know.
- 41:16Speaker 6: Uh, and Uh, this issue is for folks that have
- 41:20Speaker 6: done this as a profession. War as a profession is
- 41:24Speaker 6: purely about readiness. When you're talking about transgender and gender dysphoria, Uh,
- 41:30Speaker 6: you're talking about individuals that are required to uh be
- 41:35Speaker 6: on medications for a lifetime. Uh, they have. They are
- 41:38Speaker 6: mentally unstable. Uh. It's a proven fact that suicide rates
- 41:44Speaker 6: are through the roof in this cohort. Whether they've been
- 41:47Speaker 6: treated so called treated or not, either chemically or through
- 41:53Speaker 6: surgery or both, they're mentally unstable and their suicide rates
- 41:56Speaker 6: are extremely high.
- 41:58Speaker 9: Uh.
- 41:58Speaker 6: No matter what, that direct directly impacts readiness. Look, look,
- 42:02Speaker 6: we don't let people that are overweight continue to serve
- 42:06Speaker 6: in the United States military. We don't deploy them. We
- 42:09Speaker 6: call them not capable of worldwide deployment unless they get
- 42:14Speaker 6: down and meet their weight and they're physically fit. This
- 42:17Speaker 6: is just a matter of that form of readiness. You
- 42:21Speaker 6: can't afford for the other Americans that we're putting in
- 42:24Speaker 6: harm's way to have to be focused on these types
- 42:28Speaker 6: of issues when they need to be focused on killing
- 42:30Speaker 6: our enemies. That's the real issue there.
- 42:33Speaker 3: And again people will push back and say, oh, this
- 42:36Speaker 3: is discrimination, But to your point, I mean, if somebody
- 42:38Speaker 3: has a really bad heart condition, they're not going to
- 42:41Speaker 3: be deployed. This is a matter of having the most
- 42:43Speaker 3: physically fit, ready person that is capable of doing what
- 42:47Speaker 3: needs to be done out there on the battlefield.
- 42:50Speaker 6: You're absolutely right, you know, and over many decades, you know,
- 42:55Speaker 6: our military leadership, our generals and admirals, have really lost
- 43:00Speaker 6: the site, what we call the site picture on what
- 43:03Speaker 6: America's Armed forces is about. And it's only about one thing, Todd.
- 43:07Speaker 6: It's about winning and victory and all of the things
- 43:11Speaker 6: that we do as leaders. And I was a commander
- 43:14Speaker 6: four times in the US Air Force at the senior,
- 43:17Speaker 6: mid and lowest levels possible, and everything we do is
- 43:22Speaker 6: about putting Americans on the point of the target, the
- 43:26Speaker 6: target being whatever service you're in and whatever capability you're
- 43:30Speaker 6: bringing to bear, and defeating our enemies and winning. And
- 43:36Speaker 6: we need people that are focused on doing that job
- 43:39Speaker 6: there and not focused on things like did I get
- 43:42Speaker 6: my meds today? Or is somebody upset that I'm a
- 43:46Speaker 6: man that thinks I'm a woman? Those or worse, the
- 43:50Speaker 6: normal individuals having to focus on that versus defending themselves
- 43:56Speaker 6: from America's enemies. We lose enough of America's kids in
- 44:00Speaker 6: wartime without having to risk them even more because of
- 44:05Speaker 6: this kind of frivolity.
- 44:07Speaker 3: All right, We've got Colonel Rob Mainiz with us on
- 44:09Speaker 3: our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line today. I was very impressed
- 44:13Speaker 3: to see that the Washington Post actually printed a letter
- 44:17Speaker 3: you wrote to the editor the other day regarding this
- 44:22Speaker 3: column that argued that we need America's best minds from
- 44:28Speaker 3: elite universities need to be the ones that are filling
- 44:31Speaker 3: the ranks of the military. And that prompted you to
- 44:35Speaker 3: write a letter to the editor.
- 44:38Speaker 6: Oh, you're absolutely right. And the real crux of my
- 44:41Speaker 6: problem with that article is the individual who was published
- 44:45Speaker 6: was an active duty Army brigadier general. That happened to
- 44:48Speaker 6: be a Harvard graduate. He graduated, I think from undergraduated
- 44:51Speaker 6: in nineteen ninety five. I actually graduated from the Harvard
- 44:54Speaker 6: Kennedy School in nineteen ninety five with a master's degree.
- 44:57Speaker 6: So we were there at the same time for it
- 45:00Speaker 6: least a year and had overlap. But what this active
- 45:02Speaker 6: duty general was doing is counter signaling the Secretary of
- 45:06Speaker 6: warpeede hexcess policy and his policy has been since last
- 45:12Speaker 6: year and the President of the United States issued orders
- 45:16Speaker 6: to remove all diversity, equity, inclusion, and woke in harmful
- 45:21Speaker 6: ideologies like the Marxism underpinning DEI and WOKE from the
- 45:26Speaker 6: United States military, and the Secretary's team saw that schools
- 45:31Speaker 6: like Harvard University were not only all in on DEI
- 45:36Speaker 6: and WOKE and harmful ideologies, they put policies in place
- 45:41Speaker 6: and had professors there preaching against America and preaching against
- 45:47Speaker 6: America's foreign policy, preaching against the current commander in chief,
- 45:51Speaker 6: and exposing our folks to needless indoctrination where they were
- 45:59Speaker 6: supposed to be there to learn a different way of
- 46:02Speaker 6: thinking than what they might have been exposed to in
- 46:06Speaker 6: the military professional military education programs in their training before that.
- 46:10Speaker 6: And what they're getting is an attempt to indoctrinate them
- 46:14Speaker 6: in essentially Marxism. And the president or the secretary that
- 46:19Speaker 6: decided that he was going to remove our national Security
- 46:21Speaker 6: fellowships from there, which are war college level officers, and
- 46:26Speaker 6: choose other schools that weren't doing that, and Harvard unfortunately
- 46:31Speaker 6: refused to back down, so he removed our national security
- 46:35Speaker 6: fellows from there. And this general is counter signaling that
- 46:40Speaker 6: policy by cloaking it in. Hey, we have to have
- 46:43Speaker 6: our best in our brightest, and that is true. Look.
- 46:46Speaker 6: I went to the chapel at Harvard University right there
- 46:50Speaker 6: in the yard many times, and the walls of that
- 46:53Speaker 6: chapel are lined with medal of honor winners and graduates
- 46:56Speaker 6: who have died in America's wars all over that chapel.
- 47:01Speaker 6: But that doesn't exist anymore. Those types of graduates don't
- 47:06Speaker 6: exist anymore. We have people graduating that don't believe that
- 47:10Speaker 6: everybody should have the opportunity to serve equally, regardless of
- 47:13Speaker 6: what they look like or their personal choices, are coming
- 47:16Speaker 6: out of that school.
- 47:17Speaker 3: I want to jump in here, colonel, real quick, because
- 47:19Speaker 3: and I'm pleading ignorance here. I'm wondering, I mean, did
- 47:22Speaker 3: the general, are you allowed in the military just to
- 47:25Speaker 3: write something like this, send it off and have it
- 47:28Speaker 3: published in a newspaper. Does that have to go up
- 47:30Speaker 3: the chain of command whether you're you know, a private
- 47:33Speaker 3: or a general.
- 47:35Speaker 6: Well, it doesn't have to go up the chain of command.
- 47:37Speaker 6: And there's a big debate both in and out of
- 47:39Speaker 6: the services right now, Todd. You know, one of the
- 47:42Speaker 6: positions that I have is that the generals and admirals,
- 47:46Speaker 6: over the more than two decades of failed warfare in
- 47:50Speaker 6: Afghanistan and Iraq, should have been privately throwing their stars
- 47:55Speaker 6: on the table and saying, hey, if you don't stop
- 47:58Speaker 6: this crazy trying to create a democracy in our own
- 48:02Speaker 6: image in the Middle East where we know it's gonna fail,
- 48:06Speaker 6: we saw it fail in Vietnam and all over the place,
- 48:09Speaker 6: then I'm gonna quit, and I'm gonna publicly say it.
- 48:12Speaker 6: That's different than what this officer is doing, where he's
- 48:15Speaker 6: publicly counter signaling the president's orders and the Secretary of
- 48:19Speaker 6: War's orders, which are not based on any type of
- 48:22Speaker 6: discrimination other than wrongful and dark doctrination of harmful ideologies
- 48:28Speaker 6: on our senior officers that are trying to get a
- 48:30Speaker 6: war college education.
- 48:31Speaker 3: All right, colonel, before we let you go, we've got
- 48:33Speaker 3: to talk about the war. I'll share my opinion, and
- 48:37Speaker 3: this is sort of where I've always fallen on this issue.
- 48:41Speaker 3: I think we've been at war with the rod since
- 48:43Speaker 3: nineteen seventy nine. I think every single president has kicked
- 48:46Speaker 3: that can down the road, and finally it got to
- 48:48Speaker 3: the point where the President said, not gonna do it anymore.
- 48:52Speaker 3: Can't do it anymore. We can't let the Iranians get
- 48:54Speaker 3: the nukes. I think we should have gone in there
- 48:57Speaker 3: with guns ablazing. I don't get what we're doing now,
- 49:01Speaker 3: and I think it's confusing a lot of people. Where
- 49:04Speaker 3: do you fall on all of this?
- 49:06Speaker 6: Look, I first put the uniform on in nineteen seventy
- 49:09Speaker 6: nine on active duty, and Iranians were trying to kill
- 49:13Speaker 6: me at that point when I was seventeen years old.
- 49:15Speaker 6: So I believe, like you do, Todd, that the Iranians
- 49:18Speaker 6: chose to be at war with the United States and
- 49:21Speaker 6: our allies long ago. This president support him. I support
- 49:28Speaker 6: his efforts to end the endless war policies like I
- 49:31Speaker 6: just talked about the failure in Afghanistan, which was a
- 49:34Speaker 6: major strategic failure. That type of policy is not good
- 49:39Speaker 6: for America. It's also not good for the rest of
- 49:42Speaker 6: the world or our friends or our adversaries. It presents
- 49:46Speaker 6: nothing of value other than people make money by making weapons,
- 49:51Speaker 6: and we lose a lot of kids doing that type
- 49:55Speaker 6: of policy. This, in my mind, was different. The president
- 49:59Speaker 6: has access to intelligence information that I don't have access to.
- 50:03Speaker 6: If he had the information that he says he had,
- 50:07Speaker 6: I don't have a problem with him going in there.
- 50:10Speaker 6: Wartime decision making is very, very tough. To enter the
- 50:13Speaker 6: war has to be a really solid decision based on
- 50:16Speaker 6: the best information you can get, and it's not always perfect.
- 50:20Speaker 6: But when you enter it, then you need to go
- 50:22Speaker 6: all in and completely decimate the enemy until they either
- 50:25Speaker 6: surrender and capitulate or their population can rise up and
- 50:29Speaker 6: take the country back. One of those two things has
- 50:32Speaker 6: to happen in this conflict and the on and off.
- 50:36Speaker 6: I understand this president and him desiring not to destroy
- 50:41Speaker 6: completely all of the infrastructure that the follow on Iran
- 50:45Speaker 6: out of this conflict needs, But I also understand these
- 50:50Speaker 6: Islamist fanatics. They are not honorable. They lie, they cheat,
- 50:58Speaker 6: they steal, and obviously the President has seen that they
- 51:03Speaker 6: refuse to keep their word even when they put it
- 51:05Speaker 6: in writing. I think he's gone way above and beyond
- 51:08Speaker 6: and give them the opportunity to end this so they
- 51:12Speaker 6: don't lose all their infrastructure, or to end this so
- 51:15Speaker 6: that some of the leadership in the IRGC is still alive.
- 51:19Speaker 6: But that time is coming to an end, and it's
- 51:21Speaker 6: time to finish the target list that was stopped on
- 51:25Speaker 6: the ceasefire at the beginning of the MoU process. Get
- 51:29Speaker 6: it completely done, and then see where we're at at
- 51:31Speaker 6: the end of that, and see if the IRGC wants
- 51:34Speaker 6: to capitulate. All right, if the Iranian people have the
- 51:37Speaker 6: power to rise.
- 51:37Speaker 3: Up, Colonel, we're gonna have to leave it there. We
- 51:39Speaker 3: are super late for a break, but we're going to
- 51:42Speaker 3: get you back on soon. I love your great work.
- 51:44Speaker 3: Folks got to get a copy of his book, What
- 51:46Speaker 3: you can do about it? Taking real action against corruption,
- 51:49Speaker 3: radicalism and moral decay to save America. Robmaynus dot com
- 51:54Speaker 3: is the website addressed Colonel? Is it true? By the way,
- 51:57Speaker 3: are you are you a Mississippi guy?
- 51:59Speaker 5: Now?
- 52:00Speaker 6: I am in Mississippi. I'm in Gulfport, Mississippi. I can
- 52:03Speaker 6: see the port of golf Port from my front porch.
- 52:06Speaker 3: Well, we have a lot of great listeners of our
- 52:07Speaker 3: great radio affiliate down in Pascagoula, Mississippi. So we're big
- 52:12Speaker 3: fans of the Gulf of America.
- 52:15Speaker 6: That's my front yard, the Gulf of America, and we
- 52:18Speaker 6: love being here.
- 52:19Speaker 3: I love exciting. All right, colonel, thank you again. Folks
- 52:23Speaker 3: got to take a break. Nine oh one two six
- 52:25Speaker 3: zero five, nine two six. That's nine oh one two
- 52:29Speaker 3: six zero five, nine two six. This is the Todd
- 52:32Speaker 3: Stern Show. All right, Welcome back, everybody. This is the
- 52:48Speaker 3: Todd Stearns Radio Show. Let's go right to the phone lines. Houston, Texas.
- 52:53Speaker 3: Don listening to us on Patriot Talk nine twenty Hi, Don,
- 52:57Speaker 3: what's on your mind?
- 52:59Speaker 9: Well, welcome. I've decided one of us isn't needed because
- 53:04Speaker 9: we think exactly alike. So, having said that, why does
- 53:10Speaker 9: nobody ever go to jail. We have senate hearings, we
- 53:16Speaker 9: have this, and that we prove that these people live, steal, keep,
- 53:21Speaker 9: commit perjury, but nobody ever gets funny. Now, if somebody
- 53:27Speaker 9: commits a murder and you find out they're a murderer,
- 53:32Speaker 9: then you prosecute them. And they go to jail. Why
- 53:36Speaker 9: don't we prosecute some of these people and put them
- 53:40Speaker 9: in jail. I can't understand it.
- 53:42Speaker 3: Yeah, don it's a great question. And you know, the
- 53:46Speaker 3: answer is very simple. We have a lot of cowardice
- 53:49Speaker 3: on Capitol Hill. A lot of these lawmakers on both
- 53:53Speaker 3: sides of the aisle would prefer to you know, it's
- 53:57Speaker 3: a grand stand in front of the cameras, and they
- 53:59Speaker 3: get great speeches and they have great hearings, but nothing
- 54:03Speaker 3: ever comes of it. And I personally am done with
- 54:06Speaker 3: these people. You know, they're all in this to grift
- 54:11Speaker 3: that people were truly interested in getting to the bottom
- 54:15Speaker 3: of great scandals like what doctor Fownci did of the nation,
- 54:18Speaker 3: then this would have already been resolved. The fact that
- 54:22Speaker 3: we're still holding hearings and all of the diary journal
- 54:26Speaker 3: injuries and all that are leaking. It's shocking stuff. But
- 54:31Speaker 3: the reality is he should have already been in jail.
- 54:34Speaker 3: This should have already been over and done with. And
- 54:36Speaker 3: the reality is there are some very powerful lobbies, and
- 54:39Speaker 3: Big Pharma is one of the most. I mean, we
- 54:42Speaker 3: are the most medicated nation on the face of the earth.
- 54:45Speaker 3: They see the American people and they see us as
- 54:48Speaker 3: addicted to drugs and it doesn't matter. I'm not talking
- 54:51Speaker 3: about cocaine and marta. I'm talking about the over the
- 54:53Speaker 3: counter stuff. And that's ultimately why I suspect they've given
- 54:57Speaker 3: Fauci a pass here don got a run. But thank
- 55:00Speaker 3: you for that call. Nine oh one two six zero
- 55:03Speaker 3: five nine two six are telephonn Aurio. I mean, I
- 55:05Speaker 3: wish that wasn't the case, but it is. And those
- 55:09Speaker 3: of you expecting the Republicans to actually do something about
- 55:13Speaker 3: this or the Justice Department, I got news for you
- 55:16Speaker 3: not gonna happen. It's just it's not gonna happen. Don't
- 55:18Speaker 3: I don't want you to get your look. I know
- 55:20Speaker 3: I'm not discouraging people. I just don't want you to
- 55:23Speaker 3: get your hopes up. By the way, millions of Americans

- 56:35Speaker 3: happened on Fox Juice channel over the weekend. My good
- 56:38Speaker 3: friend Shannon Breem had the co chair of the Democratic
- 56:43Speaker 3: Socialist of America, and I want you to take a
- 56:46Speaker 3: listen to this audio. Absolutely insane the answers here take
- 56:49Speaker 3: a listen. Got three of your platform.
- 56:54Speaker 12: And I want to ask you just give me sort
- 56:55Speaker 12: of a true false on these. Abolish the Senates, h okay,
- 57:01Speaker 12: replace the Presidency and Supreme Court as we now know them.
- 57:05Speaker 5: Yep.
- 57:06Speaker 12: Abolish ice, absolutely, abolish borders, and give amnesty to anyone
- 57:12Speaker 12: currently in the US illegally as a long term plan.
- 57:17Speaker 4: Yep.
- 57:17Speaker 12: Defund the Pentagon absolutely abolish prisons, at least in large part.
- 57:26Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 57:26Speaker 12: Again, that is part of a long term program. Yeah okay,
- 57:29Speaker 12: So no prisons, government or public ownership of most large corporations.
- 57:35Speaker 13: Yeah, absolutely.
- 57:36Speaker 12: Okay, So then let's go back through some of those.
- 57:38Speaker 12: Then abolish the Senate. There are people who are in
- 57:42Speaker 12: the Senate now who are very supportive of dsay they
- 57:45Speaker 12: lose their seats. Well, the Senate is an anachronistic institution.
- 57:54Speaker 3: All right, there you go. Let's go right away to
- 57:57Speaker 3: our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line and say hello to Mike.
- 58:00Speaker 3: Good friend Angie Wong, who is a Miami Republican committee woman. Angie,
- 58:05Speaker 3: good to have you with us here. So, look, the
- 58:08Speaker 3: socialists they want to abolish the Senate. They want to
- 58:11Speaker 3: open our borders.
- 58:13Speaker 13: Yeah, hey, tid so nice to see you again. Yeah.
- 58:16Speaker 13: I mean this is nothing new.
- 58:17Speaker 14: This is clearly their agenda and their platform for about
- 58:21Speaker 14: two decades now. So you know, for her to reaffirm
- 58:24Speaker 14: it so openly just tells me that they are so
- 58:27Speaker 14: confident that they are winning seats left and right all
- 58:30Speaker 14: over the place that they're just going to push through
- 58:31Speaker 14: their agenda because now supposedly the voters are for this now,
- 58:36Speaker 14: you know, I look at the rosters of candidates that
- 58:38Speaker 14: they have running on the DSA program. None of them
- 58:42Speaker 14: have actually like held real jobs or kind of based
- 58:45Speaker 14: their policies on reality or things. Other than that, they're
- 58:48Speaker 14: really good marketers, right Todd. They're great at social media,
- 58:51Speaker 14: They're great at the algorithms. They're great at pushing out
- 58:54Speaker 14: these dream things that can never ever happen because guess what,
- 58:58Speaker 14: they don't have the money for it, but they somehow
- 59:01Speaker 14: magically think money grows on trees. So they're going to
- 59:04Speaker 14: push all these things like, oh, yeah, we don't need protection,
- 59:06Speaker 14: we don't need a government.
- 59:07Speaker 13: We just need.
- 59:08Speaker 14: Free housing, free food, and free vacations and you get
- 59:11Speaker 14: to pay for it. So, you know, I don't understand
- 59:14Speaker 14: how a bunch of dreamers that are not based in
- 59:16Speaker 14: reality can actually get into elected office.
- 59:19Speaker 13: I'm still scratching my head, Angie.
- 59:22Speaker 3: It's really shocking, and I think that the Democrats are
- 59:25Speaker 3: really concerned about the direction of their party, at least
- 59:28Speaker 3: some of the mainline liberals. There was that New York
- 59:32Speaker 3: Times space that came out the other day citing at
- 59:35Speaker 3: least five unnamed sources talking about the chaos that's happening
- 59:38Speaker 3: inside the Democrat Party, and as crazy as things are
- 59:42Speaker 3: on the Republican side of the ledger, I still think
- 59:45Speaker 3: that we are going to win and pick up seats, Angie,
- 59:48Speaker 3: based solely on the fact that the Democrat Party has
- 59:51Speaker 3: come completely unglued here, what say you?
- 59:55Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 59:55Speaker 10: No?
- 59:55Speaker 14: And you know what the meth is for Republicans this round,
- 59:59Speaker 14: as long as we don't mess it up, and we
- 1:00:01Speaker 14: are always messing it up ourselves, right, So, but the
- 1:00:04Speaker 14: math is really there to support us holding the House
- 1:00:08Speaker 14: and hopefully the Senate as well. And I think that
- 1:00:12Speaker 14: what we're watching right now happening with the Democrats. I mean,
- 1:00:14Speaker 14: I have my popcorn out every single day plantain ships
- 1:00:17Speaker 14: because I'm in Miami. But it is fun to watch
- 1:00:21Speaker 14: the division happening amongst the Democratic Party. We just heard
- 1:00:25Speaker 14: today that the DNC they're in so much trouble financially
- 1:00:28Speaker 14: that they're trying to put up their headquarters and Washington,
- 1:00:31Speaker 14: DC to take out a fifteen million dollar loan.
- 1:00:34Speaker 13: I mean, that's how.
- 1:00:35Speaker 14: Much they're in trouble because guess what, donors are not
- 1:00:38Speaker 14: buying it anymore. And the DSA fraction, the very very
- 1:00:42Speaker 14: kind of far left on this, they're holding onto their
- 1:00:45Speaker 14: own cash. We learned that AOC and Bernie Sanders they
- 1:00:48Speaker 14: have like a war chest of the last time I checked,
- 1:00:51Speaker 14: at least ninety million dollars. They're not handing that over
- 1:00:54Speaker 14: to the DNC. They're keeping it packs and all to themselves.
- 1:00:58Speaker 14: So all of this tells me that the DNC they're
- 1:01:02Speaker 14: in a lot, a lot of trouble. They don't know
- 1:01:04Speaker 14: how to support candidates. And maybe that's the whole point.
- 1:01:07Speaker 14: It's because they want to defund the DNC.
- 1:01:10Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting, Angie, we're getting a front row
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: view of this, of all of this playing out in
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, where the newly redistricted ninth
- 1:01:20Speaker 3: Congressional District breaks up Memphis into three separate districts, which
- 1:01:24Speaker 3: theoretically should all be Republican Republican districts now, but the
- 1:01:30Speaker 3: radicals are staging really an uprising. There's a guy by
- 1:01:35Speaker 3: the name of Justin Pearson who's sort of become the
- 1:01:38Speaker 3: darling of AOC. She was here campaigning just about a
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: week or so ago. Iana Presley and Summer read a
- 1:01:45Speaker 3: lot of these radical progressives are here in Memphis, and
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: I was really surprised by the turnout. They had over
- 1:01:51Speaker 3: a thousand people turning out for this rally. And I'm
- 1:01:55Speaker 3: wondering if the Democrats, at least the Nancy Pelosis and
- 1:01:58Speaker 3: the Chuck Schumers, even the Hai King Jefferies, if they've
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: just quite frankly lost control of their party.
- 1:02:05Speaker 14: Yeah, and we've seen this all along, right, Nancy Pelosi
- 1:02:08Speaker 14: and Chuck Schumer about ten years ago gave the keys
- 1:02:12Speaker 14: over to AOC et cetera for them to run these
- 1:02:15Speaker 14: volunteer programs for the DNC, et cetera, so much so
- 1:02:19Speaker 14: that they stole all the voter rules, they stole the
- 1:02:22Speaker 14: entire mechanism of how the Democratic Party was actually running.
- 1:02:25Speaker 14: And now they're running away with all that information and
- 1:02:29Speaker 14: building up their own separate party called the DSA.
- 1:02:33Speaker 13: Now is the ninth congressional district in Tennessee? Is that
- 1:02:36Speaker 13: Andy Ogles?
- 1:02:37Speaker 4: No?
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: No, No, that's the That would be the fifth, and he's
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: got problem. Yeah, this would be Brent Taylor, who just
- 1:02:42Speaker 3: got Trump's endorsement. Taylor a state senator and he's solid.
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: He's got the endorsement of about everybody up on Capitol Hill.
- 1:02:51Speaker 3: I think the challenge is going to be Andy Ogles,
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: who looks very, very weak right now, and he's facing
- 1:02:57Speaker 3: some pretty stiff primary opposition from within his own party.
- 1:03:01Speaker 14: Yeah, and that's really unfortunate because Andy Ogles is such
- 1:03:03Speaker 14: a solid guy and he's such a great Conservative. I'm
- 1:03:07Speaker 14: really sad to hear that his district's been split up
- 1:03:10Speaker 14: all over the place. And also he's got the Green
- 1:03:12Speaker 14: billionaires after him, he's got the right, he's got, you know,
- 1:03:16Speaker 14: a billionaire's pack that's running ads against him. So I
- 1:03:20Speaker 14: think Andy Ogles, I hope he's not in too much danger.
- 1:03:23Speaker 13: I know that. You know, he has certainly been there throughout.
- 1:03:27Speaker 14: His last few terms in Congress, and he's been doing
- 1:03:30Speaker 14: such a great job, especially with all the budgetary stuff
- 1:03:33Speaker 14: and the cybersecurity stuff that he's been doing.
- 1:03:35Speaker 13: So I hope he remains fingers crossed.
- 1:03:37Speaker 14: I certainly will be supporting him, but from afar because
- 1:03:40Speaker 14: I can't vote in your state.
- 1:03:42Speaker 13: But he's a good guy, So I really do hope
- 1:03:44Speaker 13: that he makes it through.
- 1:03:45Speaker 3: I think the challenge for a state like Tennessee, and
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: when you think you look at Tennessee, we're all read
- 1:03:50Speaker 3: super majority Republicans in the legislature, but the reality is
- 1:03:54Speaker 3: I think the more moderate side of the party actually
- 1:03:57Speaker 3: controls the apparatus of across the state. So we're watching
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: in Tennessee, for example, these uprisings among you know, the
- 1:04:05Speaker 3: Republicans for the governor. For the governor's race, you've got
- 1:04:09Speaker 3: Marshall Blackburn, the Senator, Congressman John Rose, and then state
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: Representative Monti Fritz, who happens to be the I guess,
- 1:04:16Speaker 3: the darling of the America First MAGA movement. So it's
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: all fascinating to watch. But at the end of the day, Angie,
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: my philosophy is, as long as you got an R
- 1:04:25Speaker 3: behind your name, you got my vote.
- 1:04:29Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:04:29Speaker 14: And you know, it's so brazen of the aocs to
- 1:04:33Speaker 14: come into your state and think that she can jump
- 1:04:35Speaker 14: on a stage and win some votes.
- 1:04:37Speaker 13: I mean, this is where we started.
- 1:04:38Speaker 14: They start off, remember just years ago, they start off
- 1:04:40Speaker 14: with school board seats. Then they became assembly members and
- 1:04:45Speaker 14: kind of like house seats but in the state, and
- 1:04:47Speaker 14: now they're graduating to the mayors and the governors, and
- 1:04:50Speaker 14: now they think.
- 1:04:51Speaker 13: They can take over Congress. This is what happens when
- 1:04:54Speaker 13: it went uncheck.
- 1:04:54Speaker 14: And that's really Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi not putting
- 1:04:57Speaker 14: the brakes on it early on, so that even sitting
- 1:05:01Speaker 14: members of Congress US Congress on the Democrat side, they're
- 1:05:05Speaker 14: fighting against this. They don't want to see their party
- 1:05:08Speaker 14: fault his socialism. They can't even win that way, and
- 1:05:11Speaker 14: so I think this is going to be the most
- 1:05:13Speaker 14: interesting midterms I've ever seen.
- 1:05:15Speaker 3: Aji, I'm curious about your take on what's happening in
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: the Senate. My concern now, I don't think the Save
- 1:05:20Speaker 3: America Act has a chance. I just I don't. I
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: think that's dead in the water. But the thing that
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: really concerns me is that John Thune has not allowed
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: the Senate to go into recess, and President Trump becomes
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: the first president in modern political history to never be
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: allowed to make a recess appointment. Why do you think
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: that is what's going on there?
- 1:05:42Speaker 13: Oh man?
- 1:05:43Speaker 14: I mean, I'm sorry to say, but John Thune should
- 1:05:45Speaker 14: have been sorted out a long time ago. We knew
- 1:05:48Speaker 14: even months ago that the Save America Act was dead
- 1:05:51Speaker 14: upon arrival. I've heard that from several Congressional members. House
- 1:05:55Speaker 14: canpascit John Thun. We've given him every opportunity, even putting
- 1:05:59Speaker 14: it into a funding bill where he only needed fifty
- 1:06:02Speaker 14: one votes, he still.
- 1:06:04Speaker 13: Wouldn't do it.
- 1:06:05Speaker 14: So then we've given him all the excuses in the
- 1:06:07Speaker 14: world to get it done and he won't do it.
- 1:06:10Speaker 13: Who is he protecting?
- 1:06:11Speaker 14: Why is he like helping out the other team? I
- 1:06:14Speaker 14: don't know, but you better believe he's on his way out.
- 1:06:17Speaker 14: There's no way that he would have run it up
- 1:06:19Speaker 14: this late anyway, even if they passed it today, we
- 1:06:23Speaker 14: don't have enough time to actually get it done, right,
- 1:06:25Speaker 14: not for this round. So President Trump has found workarounds.
- 1:06:30Speaker 14: And this is what's so fascinating, is like gamesmanship on
- 1:06:33Speaker 14: the highest highest level. Todd, do you remember about a
- 1:06:36Speaker 14: week ago President Trump came up on Prime Time to
- 1:06:39Speaker 14: talk about how China Access did a data breach on
- 1:06:42Speaker 14: our voter information. Well, that was kind of been going
- 1:06:47Speaker 14: on for a while because I saw the same thing
- 1:06:49Speaker 14: happen in Britain.
- 1:06:51Speaker 13: I think it was about a year or two ago.
- 1:06:52Speaker 14: So this data breach didn't just happen, but this was
- 1:06:57Speaker 14: a way of a workaround President Trump to federalize getting
- 1:07:01Speaker 14: that voter information because he knew the states were going
- 1:07:03Speaker 14: to reject him from releasing it, but he had them anyway.
- 1:07:07Speaker 14: So now you know, we're gonna start seeing states like
- 1:07:09Speaker 14: New Jersey admit to well, there's some kind of anomalies here.
- 1:07:15Speaker 14: They're not calling it voter fraud like you and I would.
- 1:07:17Speaker 14: They're calling it anomalies. But there's such a small number
- 1:07:20Speaker 14: todd according to them. But meanwhile, don't they realize because
- 1:07:23Speaker 14: of the China data breach, President Trump already sees the
- 1:07:26Speaker 14: voter roles.
- 1:07:27Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it. I mean, you're absolutely right, And that's
- 1:07:31Speaker 3: the way they're framing this. I love how the the
- 1:07:35Speaker 3: governor of New Jersey was blaming the makers of the
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: voting machines, and they're like, hey, that's not on us.
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: Those were not anomalies. You people. Let these individuals get
- 1:07:44Speaker 3: on the voter registration rolls. So and I suspect it
- 1:07:48Speaker 3: was a lot more than four hundred that actually voted
- 1:07:50Speaker 3: as they as they told us. But again, this is
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: one of the one of the reasons why we've got
- 1:07:55Speaker 3: to make sure we get out and Republicans have to vote.
- 1:07:59Speaker 3: We've got to make sure we maintain control of Congress. Angie,
- 1:08:03Speaker 3: before we let you go. You and I follow each
- 1:08:06Speaker 3: other on the socials, and I gotta say, I got
- 1:08:09Speaker 3: to up my game because I'm not at the Angie
- 1:08:11Speaker 3: Wong level of socializing. I'm down. I'm posting pictures of
- 1:08:15Speaker 3: me at the waffle house, and you're high fluting with
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: all the big wigs out there.
- 1:08:20Speaker 14: Oh my goodness, Todd, I want to come. I want
- 1:08:23Speaker 14: to take you out to the waffle house. We'll post,
- 1:08:25Speaker 14: we'll do a whole social media program there. We'll just
- 1:08:28Speaker 14: get you in every angle eating waffles and chicken and
- 1:08:30Speaker 14: everything else. Looks I'm having fun. Obviously, you got to
- 1:08:34Speaker 14: keep this light. Politics can get so dark and heavy.
- 1:08:37Speaker 14: You gotta make it fun and digestible for the masses
- 1:08:41Speaker 14: if they want to hear your message.
- 1:08:43Speaker 13: I don't know if that's what I provide to.
- 1:08:45Speaker 14: People, but I'm just having a good time doing it,
- 1:08:47Speaker 14: because all of us can get so heavy and just
- 1:08:50Speaker 14: like people get turned off. I want to invite more
- 1:08:52Speaker 14: people to the party.
- 1:08:53Speaker 3: Heck yeah, I love that. All right, that's it. I
- 1:08:55Speaker 3: didn't realize they had waffle houses down in the like
- 1:08:58Speaker 3: Palm Beach or we need around the corner.
- 1:09:02Speaker 13: I'll come to you, Todd. We should do a social
- 1:09:04Speaker 13: media story together.
- 1:09:05Speaker 3: I love it. I'll you know what, I'm gonna take
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: it out we'll go to the Blue City Cafe on
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: Beale Street and rum boogie for some great blues and
- 1:09:13Speaker 3: great beverages. We'll treat you right here in Memphis.
- 1:09:16Speaker 14: Angie, awesome, I can't wait. I'm waiting for my invitation to.
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: All Right, we're gonna make that happen. The great Angie
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: Wong everybody, and she is all over the place doing
- 1:09:27Speaker 3: a commentary work, and we sure to appreciate the fact
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: that she joined us today. All Right, we've got to
- 1:09:32Speaker 3: take a quick break here, folks. Nine oh one two
- 1:09:34Speaker 3: six zero five, nine two six. We're going to the
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: phone lines. That's nine oh one two six zero five,
- 1:09:40Speaker 3: nine two six. How are you feeling about the midterms?
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: We're gonna be taking your calls. This is the Todd
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: Stern Show. All right, Welcome back, everybody. It is the
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: Tod Stearns Radio Show. Let's go to the phone lines.
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: Bob Houston, Texas Patriots on nineteen twenty, Hey Bob, what's
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: on your mind today?
- 1:10:07Speaker 15: Hey, it's all good down here in Texas. I just
- 1:10:09Speaker 15: wanted to mention that a part of the problem with
- 1:10:12Speaker 15: these democrats social democrats being so overconfident thinking that they're
- 1:10:15Speaker 15: going to have a blue wave this year and the
- 1:10:17Speaker 15: elections is because of one thing. They know Thun's going
- 1:10:20Speaker 15: to hold up. The stayback that's not going to happen
- 1:10:23Speaker 15: in time for the elections. The infrastructure that they've already
- 1:10:27Speaker 15: set up to cheat and steal with mail in ballots,
- 1:10:29Speaker 15: the switch O matic voter machines and Maderna voter machines.
- 1:10:34Speaker 15: All that's going on is still very little exchange. Is
- 1:10:37Speaker 15: they've exposed the corruption, but it's still there. Nothing stopped it.
- 1:10:40Speaker 15: So that's why they're so confident that they're going to win.
- 1:10:43Speaker 15: I mean, it's by hooker, by crook, that's what's going
- 1:10:47Speaker 15: on with the men, so confident that they're winning. I
- 1:10:51Speaker 15: just want to give you my two cents, Bob, take on.
- 1:10:53Speaker 10: It, Bob.
- 1:10:54Speaker 3: I'm curious, how are things going there in Texas? I
- 1:10:58Speaker 3: know Talla Rico, at least nationally, doesn't seem like he's
- 1:11:01Speaker 3: moving the needle at all there. Uh what are you
- 1:11:04Speaker 3: what are you seeing their boots on the ground.
- 1:11:07Speaker 15: Uh there's still Uh there's still cheating. There's still lots
- 1:11:10Speaker 15: of infrastructure for cheating. Uh, there's things are still happening.
- 1:11:15Speaker 15: The Islamic takeover is still happening. We had the Rhino
- 1:11:20Speaker 15: Republicans acting like they're they're doing something about it, but
- 1:11:23Speaker 15: then behind the scenes, they're they got their hand out
- 1:11:25Speaker 15: and they're taken from Turkey and Pakistan. Uh, they're letting
- 1:11:28Speaker 15: it happen.
- 1:11:29Speaker 9: Uh.
- 1:11:30Speaker 15: Our our Republican legislature is is heavily corrupted with Brhinos.
- 1:11:35Speaker 9: Uh.
- 1:11:35Speaker 15: But yeah, the voting part of it, uh, tel Rico,
- 1:11:38Speaker 15: he probably won't win, but nationwide across the board, Uh,
- 1:11:42Speaker 15: there's so many states that are compromised with the mail
- 1:11:45Speaker 15: in ballots, the smart maatic voter machines uh. Uh, the
- 1:11:49Speaker 15: what was the other Madonna, the voter machines uh Uh.
- 1:11:53Speaker 15: It's all corrupted in many cases in so many states.
- 1:11:56Speaker 15: And so that's that's how Well.
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: Here's the thing, though, so confident Bob, and again again,
- 1:12:01Speaker 3: I have no proof of that, and I suspect I don't.
- 1:12:04Speaker 3: I mean, if if you've got proof of it, then
- 1:12:06Speaker 3: you can go. And that's that's one of the reasons
- 1:12:09Speaker 3: why the network's got their butt sued and butts handed
- 1:12:11Speaker 3: to them in these lawsuits. You know, they were saying that,
- 1:12:14Speaker 3: but they never proved it. And you know, again, if
- 1:12:17Speaker 3: you can prove it, that that's one thing, and I
- 1:12:20Speaker 3: just don't think the networks, well, they clearly were not
- 1:12:22Speaker 3: able to prove it, so they got sued and many
- 1:12:25Speaker 3: of them had to lay off a lot of people
- 1:12:27Speaker 3: because of that.
- 1:12:30Speaker 15: Yeah. Sure, yeah, that's that's the other reason why they're
- 1:12:32Speaker 15: so confident that they're gonna win. The blue wave is coming,
- 1:12:36Speaker 15: but then not through through numbers, not that they actually
- 1:12:39Speaker 15: have a majority. It's just that by hook or by crook.
- 1:12:42Speaker 15: And it's like what happened to Trump during twenty twenty election.
- 1:12:46Speaker 15: Oh yeah, twenty twenty four election, you know, is he
- 1:12:49Speaker 15: finally got exposed to one. But it just keeps going
- 1:12:52Speaker 15: on and on, and they'll prove it, prove it. Well,
- 1:12:55Speaker 15: you know, by the time you've proved it, the people
- 1:12:58Speaker 15: are already in place, they're already taken over. The people
- 1:13:02Speaker 15: that were in there that were doing the right thing
- 1:13:04Speaker 15: are gone, and it's too late, it's too late to
- 1:13:07Speaker 15: fix it. So that's how they're doing it. And it's
- 1:13:10Speaker 15: all the way across the board, the socialist Democrats, the
- 1:13:14Speaker 15: Islamic Socialist it's gold together.
- 1:13:18Speaker 3: Bob, thank you for that call. Nine O one two
- 1:13:21Speaker 3: six zero five nine two sake, let's go to Larry
- 1:13:24Speaker 3: o'calla Florida Woca. Hi, Larry, what's on your mind?
- 1:13:29Speaker 10: So the Lafe scholar, one of the life scholars you
- 1:13:31Speaker 10: had there a kind of hitting on the point, we're
- 1:13:34Speaker 10: stick and tired of these Republicans lying to it, and
- 1:13:37Speaker 10: it's almost light. These Democrats are planned the like where
- 1:13:41Speaker 10: they're having to put people so far to the left, communist, socialist, whatever,
- 1:13:46Speaker 10: that to where the Republicans can still say, hey, we're
- 1:13:49Speaker 10: not as bad as those guys, because the Republicans are
- 1:13:53Speaker 10: just basically Democrats anymore. And we're stick and tired of
- 1:13:56Speaker 10: being lied to. And I'm fifty years old and I
- 1:13:59Speaker 10: will vote full ticket Democrat this time to fire you
- 1:14:03Speaker 10: line pedaphile protecting the Republicans. Is that hold water with you, brother?
- 1:14:09Speaker 3: So you're gonna vote for the You're gonna vote for
- 1:14:12Speaker 3: the Democrats.
- 1:14:14Speaker 10: Well, the logic that was used by Trump was if
- 1:14:17Speaker 10: we'll pay these tie gas prices just for a little while,
- 1:14:21Speaker 10: the pain will be worth the benefit in the long
- 1:14:24Speaker 10: run of getting rid of a ran with a nuclear weapon. Well,
- 1:14:27Speaker 10: I think the same logic is true if we teach
- 1:14:30Speaker 10: these Republicans that they don't have our vote lockstep the
- 1:14:33Speaker 10: same way the Democrat has the black vote then does
- 1:14:35Speaker 10: nothing for them. If we teach them that you don't
- 1:14:38Speaker 10: have our vote anymore, it not the pain might be
- 1:14:41Speaker 10: worth the benefit in the long run to where we
- 1:14:43Speaker 10: wouldn't get some people that understand you don't have the
- 1:14:45Speaker 10: white male vote.
- 1:14:46Speaker 3: Just because all right, Larry, Larry, I gotta leave it there,
- 1:14:50Speaker 3: my friend. We're running out of time, but I'll address
- 1:14:52Speaker 3: what you just said on the other side of this
- 1:14:54Speaker 3: break stick around everybody.
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.
- 1:15:15Speaker 13: That's that's that.
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: American starts.
- 1:15:25Speaker 3: All right. So in the last last hour, we had
- 1:15:29Speaker 3: a guy calling in from Micalla, Florida. His name is Larry.
- 1:15:33Speaker 3: Larry's a white guy, and he's really upset, and rightfully
- 1:15:38Speaker 3: so I and don't get me wrong, Larry is very
- 1:15:41Speaker 3: frustrated because he believes that the Republican Party is taking
- 1:15:44Speaker 3: the vote of the white man. For Granted, I don't
- 1:15:48Speaker 3: disagree with that at all. As a matter of fact,
- 1:15:51Speaker 3: I would I would contend they've been doing that for
- 1:15:53Speaker 3: a very long time. You know, they were the Democrats,
- 1:15:58Speaker 3: and I know this is the sounds terrible, but it's true.
- 1:16:02Speaker 3: The Democrats are actually more honest than the Republicans are. No, Wright, No,
- 1:16:10Speaker 3: I yet, I know, Parker, I know what people are
- 1:16:12Speaker 3: gonna say. They're gonna be, they're gonna be. How dare
- 1:16:15Speaker 3: you how dare you speak well of the Republicans? You
- 1:16:19Speaker 3: I knew Starns was a Democrat. No, Starns is not
- 1:16:21Speaker 3: a Democrat. I'm not. I don't mean that. I don't
- 1:16:25Speaker 3: mean it to be mean. I'm just stating that when
- 1:16:28Speaker 3: here's what let me explain it. So, when when the
- 1:16:33Speaker 3: Democrats run for office, they're gonna tell you exactly what
- 1:16:36Speaker 3: they're gonna do. I mean, this Democrat socialist chick, I mean,
- 1:16:39Speaker 3: she's slapped crazy out of her mind nuts, but at
- 1:16:42Speaker 3: least she's out there. She's honest. She's so, you're gonna
- 1:16:46Speaker 3: you're gonna deep You're gonna abolish the Senate, Yeah, absolutely,
- 1:16:50Speaker 3: So you're gonna open up our borders, yeah, sure are.
- 1:16:53Speaker 3: And you know what, then when they get elected, they
- 1:16:56Speaker 3: do everything they promise they're going to do. The Democrats
- 1:16:59Speaker 3: never and they deliver. They deliver on the promises every
- 1:17:03Speaker 3: single time. When the Democrats tell you they're going to
- 1:17:06Speaker 3: do something which may lead to the end of mankind
- 1:17:11Speaker 3: as we know it. You better take that to the bank,
- 1:17:14Speaker 3: because they're going to do it. That's just who they are,
- 1:17:17Speaker 3: that's their nature. The Republicans, on the other hand, they
- 1:17:23Speaker 3: will promise you the moon and they never deliver on anything.
- 1:17:29Speaker 3: And this is one of the reasons. And by the way,
- 1:17:32Speaker 3: every election cycle it's the same thing. It's not like
- 1:17:34Speaker 3: this is some sort of an anomaly. But the Republicans
- 1:17:37Speaker 3: lie to you. I mean, and that's what they do.
- 1:17:39Speaker 3: I mean, I may be the only talk radio host
- 1:17:42Speaker 3: out there who's going to tell you this, but the
- 1:17:46Speaker 3: Republicans are liars. I don't think they want to be.
- 1:17:51Speaker 3: Maybe they do, I don't know, but I think for
- 1:17:53Speaker 3: the most part, here's the problem with the Republicans. The
- 1:17:56Speaker 3: Republican Party was never meant to be a party of
- 1:17:59Speaker 3: just Gillard Joe's. The Republican Party was always meant to
- 1:18:03Speaker 3: be for the country club type and not even And
- 1:18:06Speaker 3: by the way, I mean, if you think they despise
- 1:18:09Speaker 3: all you working class folks, they really don't like the
- 1:18:12Speaker 3: Evangelical Christians. They the Republicans and the leadership there are
- 1:18:18Speaker 3: I see, if I can explain this, you know, the Democrats,
- 1:18:22Speaker 3: And it's a terrible example, but it's true, all right
- 1:18:27Speaker 3: in the South. In the North, let's just say you've
- 1:18:31Speaker 3: got a crazy person in your family. I mean, they're
- 1:18:35Speaker 3: like certifiable nuts. Now, if you're in the North, if
- 1:18:40Speaker 3: you're a Yankee, then you're probably going to institutionalize your
- 1:18:46Speaker 3: loved one. You're probably going to make sure that they
- 1:18:50Speaker 3: are not rolled out at family events. You're going to
- 1:18:53Speaker 3: keep them hidden somewhere now here. In the South, we
- 1:18:57Speaker 3: don't do that. We put our crazy peace pull on
- 1:19:00Speaker 3: the front porch, right and we invite people to come
- 1:19:03Speaker 3: over and be a part of the craziness. That's that's
- 1:19:06Speaker 3: how we do things in the South. Now, the Democrats
- 1:19:09Speaker 3: they do the same thing. The Democrats they not only
- 1:19:13Speaker 3: drag their crazy people out on the front porch, they
- 1:19:15Speaker 3: run them for office. The Republicans they would probably they
- 1:19:20Speaker 3: would just they would institutionalize you. And so they're embarrassed.
- 1:19:24Speaker 3: Is when I'm trying to get out of the Republicans.
- 1:19:26Speaker 3: So there is there anybody in your family that you're
- 1:19:28Speaker 3: kind of like, park are going to put you on
- 1:19:30Speaker 3: the spot. You know, you go to the big family,
- 1:19:32Speaker 3: the Parker family, reunion. Are there? No, don't answer this.
- 1:19:36Speaker 3: I can't get you to answer that. I guess I could.
- 1:19:39Speaker 6: Here.
- 1:19:40Speaker 3: Are there some people in your family that you're like, man,
- 1:19:42Speaker 3: I wish they weren't related to us.
- 1:19:45Speaker 16: Now that you ask the question, I'll plead the fifth here.
- 1:19:48Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to. No, you've got to. You see,
- 1:19:52Speaker 3: Dylan's on vacation, and Dylan cannot answer that question because
- 1:19:55Speaker 3: we are family. But there are there's probably somebody in
- 1:19:59Speaker 3: your family that you know kind of like you're crazy.
- 1:20:01Speaker 3: What is a crazy cousin Edti from you know, National Lampoon.
- 1:20:05Speaker 3: You know he's out there in the old Winnebago emptying
- 1:20:10Speaker 3: out the sewage on the front lawn. You've got somebody
- 1:20:13Speaker 3: like that in your family. And so that's how the
- 1:20:16Speaker 3: Republicans and the Republicans sink all of you evangelicals and
- 1:20:19Speaker 3: all of you magat people and all of you working
- 1:20:22Speaker 3: class people, your cousin Edti, your cousin Eddi, and you're
- 1:20:27Speaker 3: hosing down the Grand Old Party with that big sewage line.
- 1:20:31Speaker 3: And that's what they think. They don't like you.
- 1:20:34Speaker 10: What was it?
- 1:20:34Speaker 3: John McCain called you people the agents of intolerance. That's
- 1:20:38Speaker 3: what he call all you Christians. By the way, so
- 1:20:41Speaker 3: that is don't like you. What are we talking about?
- 1:20:45Speaker 3: Oh yeah, So I'm sorry. I went out on a
- 1:20:47Speaker 3: long tangent here and it's a Monday, and I don't
- 1:20:49Speaker 3: mean to go out on long tangent somebody. But bring
- 1:20:51Speaker 3: it back around to our caller, Larry from Ocali, Florida.
- 1:20:55Speaker 3: Larry says, I'm just tired of it. Well, Larry, I
- 1:20:58Speaker 3: know I'm tired of it too. And Larry said that
- 1:21:01Speaker 3: he's going to vote Democrat. Larry, you can't do that.
- 1:21:05Speaker 3: You can't do that, my friend, because that slap crazy nuts.
- 1:21:09Speaker 3: And I don't think you're slap crazy nuts, Larry, I
- 1:21:11Speaker 3: really don't. I think you're just frustrated, like all the
- 1:21:14Speaker 3: rest of us. You just want And Larry, by the way,
- 1:21:18Speaker 3: Larry's got an honest grievance here. Larry's not out of
- 1:21:22Speaker 3: his mind. Larry's just frustrated because we want the Republicans
- 1:21:27Speaker 3: to do the right thing. You know, when I had
- 1:21:30Speaker 3: when I went out there and I was trying to
- 1:21:31Speaker 3: figure out who to vote for, and the candidates told me,
- 1:21:33Speaker 3: you know what, Todd, We're going to get that Save
- 1:21:35Speaker 3: America Act through Senate. I believed him. I guess, shame
- 1:21:39Speaker 3: on me when they said they were going to codify.
- 1:21:44Speaker 3: When Congress said they're going to codify all of the
- 1:21:46Speaker 3: President's agenda, I believed him. Shame on me. But at
- 1:21:52Speaker 3: some point you have to start saying shame on the
- 1:21:53Speaker 3: Republican candidates, because they're the people with man. I just
- 1:21:59Speaker 3: just fother they got no moral center. How else can
- 1:22:02Speaker 3: you explain it? How else can you explain electing Republicans
- 1:22:06Speaker 3: who promise you one thing and when they get to
- 1:22:08Speaker 3: Capitol Hill they don't follow through on those promises. What
- 1:22:12Speaker 3: else do you call it? I mean, they are liars.
- 1:22:16Speaker 3: There is no moral center. And I say there's no
- 1:22:19Speaker 3: moral center because it's not like this as something that
- 1:22:22Speaker 3: just happened. I mean, it has been going on for decades.
- 1:22:26Speaker 3: So I feel for Larry. But the problem is, and
- 1:22:29Speaker 3: the Republicans know, and the Republicans know what I'm about
- 1:22:32Speaker 3: to tell you. Republicans know you're still going to get
- 1:22:34Speaker 3: out there and you're going to vote. And the reason
- 1:22:36Speaker 3: why is we can't let the socialists take over. We'll
- 1:22:39Speaker 3: all limp in the gulogs. I don't want to end
- 1:22:41Speaker 3: up in a gulog. It's got to be sixty eight
- 1:22:44Speaker 3: degrees or I can't go to sleep, and I don't
- 1:22:48Speaker 3: think they're gonna have my pillows. And the gulogs just
- 1:22:52Speaker 3: say it, so, yeah, no, it is self centered. I am. Yes,
- 1:22:58Speaker 3: it's selfish, but I don't want to go to the
- 1:23:01Speaker 3: gulags only that I don't do well with like picking.
- 1:23:04Speaker 3: You know, they're gonna and they'll have me out doing
- 1:23:07Speaker 3: like the hardest labor of all. I'll be out there
- 1:23:09Speaker 3: picking cotton or something, right, singing songs. I'll be singing spirituals.
- 1:23:19Speaker 3: Are there white spirituals? Amazing grace. I don't know I'm
- 1:23:25Speaker 3: getting off on a tangent here, but I'm just telling
- 1:23:28Speaker 3: you that I don't want the socialists to take over
- 1:23:30Speaker 3: because things will be very very bad, and I don't
- 1:23:33Speaker 3: want to be picking cotton in in North Mississippi Delta.
- 1:23:36Speaker 3: That's all. Is that too much to ask? Because let
- 1:23:39Speaker 3: me tell you something, folks, I've seen the future, and
- 1:23:43Speaker 3: if we stay home and to fote, that is the future.
- 1:23:48Speaker 3: I'm just telling you so, Larry, I get it. But
- 1:23:52Speaker 3: we've got to protect our president and we got to
- 1:23:54Speaker 3: protect the republic. Actually not necessarily in that order, in
- 1:24:00Speaker 3: that order, we gotta protect them. We got to get
- 1:24:03Speaker 3: out and vote no matter what. That's that's all I'm
- 1:24:05Speaker 3: trying to say. Nine oh one two six zero five
- 1:24:08Speaker 3: nine two six is our telephone number. That's nine oh
- 1:24:11Speaker 3: one two six zero five, nine two six, Parker. I
- 1:24:16Speaker 3: have a question for you. You're a fashionable guy, are
- 1:24:18Speaker 3: you Where do you like to go shopping? Target? Walmart
- 1:24:23Speaker 3: for clothes? Yeah? Where do you go shopping for your wardrobe?
- 1:24:26Speaker 16: I also get a lot of my stuff online? Oh really, Yeah,
- 1:24:29Speaker 16: I think that's just like how I've grown up. But
- 1:24:32Speaker 16: it's like vineyard vines online, or I'll shove on the
- 1:24:35Speaker 16: Nike store online a lot so.
- 1:24:36Speaker 3: Nike vineyard vines. That's kind of like a Southern thing, right,
- 1:24:39Speaker 3: I guess. Or a lot of the kids, young people
- 1:24:42Speaker 3: with that, all right?
- 1:24:43Speaker 17: Gotcha?
- 1:24:44Speaker 3: Anyway, there's a new craze and I'm curious to hear
- 1:24:46Speaker 3: your thoughts on this. The headline here from the New
- 1:24:49Speaker 3: York Post teenagers are undoing their pants. It's a trend
- 1:24:53Speaker 3: that is causing parents to fly into a rage, and
- 1:24:57Speaker 3: they're telling their children to zip up their pants. So apparently,
- 1:25:01Speaker 3: according to the Post, gen Z has now stopped buttoning
- 1:25:07Speaker 3: their pants. It's called the era of the fold over jeans,
- 1:25:14Speaker 3: and stores like Hollister and another I've never heard of
- 1:25:18Speaker 3: this other store. Anyway, they're encouraging the children of America
- 1:25:23Speaker 3: to walk around without their pants button up. What say
- 1:25:26Speaker 3: you you see?
- 1:25:28Speaker 16: This is a breaking news. I've never heard of this one,
- 1:25:30Speaker 16: and I'm glad I haven't heard of it, because I
- 1:25:31Speaker 16: do not partaking this interesting.
- 1:25:34Speaker 3: Trend good I would hope not. Apparently all of this
- 1:25:38Speaker 3: started back in twenty twenty two with a couple of
- 1:25:41Speaker 3: celebrities named Addison Ray and Doja Cat. Never heard of them,
- 1:25:49Speaker 3: but now stores across the cash spectrum have their own
- 1:25:53Speaker 3: deliberate take on the trend, raging for ranging from a
- 1:25:56Speaker 3: pair of thirty five dollars pants to a pair of
- 1:26:02Speaker 3: two hundred and sixty eight dollars blue jeans. This week,
- 1:26:07Speaker 3: the online luxury palace net a porter neda portait I
- 1:26:11Speaker 3: don't know, debuted a pair of unzipped jeans Are you
- 1:26:15Speaker 3: ready for this? From the high Japanese fashion label is
- 1:26:19Speaker 3: at Sakai for twelve hundred and ten dollars. Who's paying
- 1:26:25Speaker 3: twelve hundred and ten dollars for a pair of blue jeans? Unbelievable.
- 1:26:32Speaker 3: Lisa Alvarez is a is the mother of a twenty
- 1:26:35Speaker 3: five year old daughter and a sixteen year old stepdaughter,
- 1:26:40Speaker 3: both of whom are wearing thirty five dollar pairs of
- 1:26:43Speaker 3: the pante bearing pants. So I guess the gist of
- 1:26:47Speaker 3: it is, when you're unzipping your pants, you're exposing your
- 1:26:52Speaker 3: well nether regions, if you will, or your pantaloons. And
- 1:26:58Speaker 3: so the mom is saying this is nuts. She says,
- 1:27:01Speaker 3: quote it drives me up the wall every time they
- 1:27:04Speaker 3: come downstairs. I want to go zip up your pants. Babe. Mom, Dad,
- 1:27:10Speaker 3: would you allow your child to walk out of the
- 1:27:13Speaker 3: home wearing these unzip pants. It's the ugliest look. So
- 1:27:18Speaker 3: it's almost like they have like it's like underpants on
- 1:27:24Speaker 3: under the jeans and it's a part of the fashion wardrobe.
- 1:27:29Speaker 3: Melissa Dunn lives in Palm Beach with her family, including
- 1:27:33Speaker 3: a fourteen year old daughter who wants to wear the
- 1:27:35Speaker 3: unzip pants. She says, why do you why do your
- 1:27:38Speaker 3: pants need to be falling off? Come on? And I
- 1:27:42Speaker 3: guess it's like every generation has something like that. What
- 1:27:46Speaker 3: was it in the millennials had the they had the
- 1:27:50Speaker 3: super low rise cuts, according to the post that exposed
- 1:27:55Speaker 3: something called a bedazzled thong. I had no idea that
- 1:28:00Speaker 3: was a thing Parker in the sports world. Did you
- 1:28:03Speaker 3: see many of those in the locker room?
- 1:28:05Speaker 6: Definitely?
- 1:28:06Speaker 4: Not?
- 1:28:06Speaker 3: All right, that's good. What's a good Baptist school too,
- 1:28:08Speaker 3: so that could be it. Gen Xers. We had our
- 1:28:12Speaker 3: own issues. We actually had very very baggy jeans. Our
- 1:28:16Speaker 3: jeans were so baggy they would just slide right off,
- 1:28:19Speaker 3: you know, as you were walking. But then we also
- 1:28:22Speaker 3: had parachute pants, which were a very bad fashion look.
- 1:28:27Speaker 3: So I was more of an isod kid. So I
- 1:28:30Speaker 3: was more of the the preppee kid growing up, little alligators,
- 1:28:36Speaker 3: you know those all I do I do? Can I
- 1:28:39Speaker 3: tell you A secret? Is a Stern's family secret. So
- 1:28:43Speaker 3: we were middle class, but those a odds were super expensive, sure,
- 1:28:47Speaker 3: I mean very expensive shirts, and so it was kind
- 1:28:50Speaker 3: of like a status symbol. Sony. For Christmas one year,
- 1:28:52Speaker 3: I got like ten id shirts. Ten unbelievable, and Everybody's like, wow,
- 1:29:00Speaker 3: Starns must be rich. So I became cool because I
- 1:29:03Speaker 3: was wearing all the eyes on colors. So anyway, that
- 1:29:07Speaker 3: was a gift for my grand my grandparents, you know,
- 1:29:09Speaker 3: they for Christmas. So anyway, we had moved away from Memphis,
- 1:29:12Speaker 3: and I came back. We were visiting, and I would
- 1:29:16Speaker 3: always stay downstairs. My grandparents had a bedroom downstairs, which
- 1:29:22Speaker 3: was also my grandmother's sewing room. And as I was
- 1:29:24Speaker 3: unpacking one day, Parker, I glanced over at my grandmother's
- 1:29:27Speaker 3: sewing machine, and they noticed she had a big bag
- 1:29:31Speaker 3: and in that bag were hundreds of little, tiny alligators.
- 1:29:37Speaker 3: And then I looked over and she had these cheap shirts,
- 1:29:40Speaker 3: these polo shirts from like Walmart, and she was actually
- 1:29:43Speaker 3: sewing the upside down alligator on the shirts. Those weren't
- 1:29:50Speaker 3: fifty dollars shirts, they were five dollar shirts.
- 1:29:53Speaker 16: No, but I will say to that, I respect to
- 1:29:55Speaker 16: create tooting, the hustle of that. That takes a lot
- 1:29:57Speaker 16: of effort.
- 1:29:58Speaker 3: This is the same woman who actually a two leader
- 1:30:00Speaker 3: of Coca Cola to the movie theaters once.
- 1:30:04Speaker 10: Me.
- 1:30:04Speaker 3: Mal was very threatful, she was very resourceful. All Right,
- 1:30:09Speaker 3: we gotta take a break here. Nine oh one two
- 1:30:11Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six. Your kid comes downstairs
- 1:30:15Speaker 3: with their pants on zip. Do you let them walk
- 1:30:17Speaker 3: out of the house. This is the Todd starn Show.
- 1:30:33Speaker 3: All right, welcome back, everybody, this is the Todd Starns
- 1:30:36Speaker 3: radio show. So our good buddy Sid Rosenberg. And Sid's
- 1:30:40Speaker 3: a great guy. He's a he's a host at w
- 1:30:42Speaker 3: ABC Radio in New York City. And Sid is Jewish.
- 1:30:47Speaker 3: And when you ask him your his opinion about something,
- 1:30:52Speaker 3: he's gonna tell you what that opinion is. So anyway,
- 1:30:55Speaker 3: he went on Fox to talk about Zorn Mam Dommi
- 1:31:00Speaker 3: over the weekend and this is what he had to say.
- 1:31:04Speaker 3: Cut five well.
- 1:31:06Speaker 18: Of very nice people, but trying to talk to Mayor
- 1:31:08Speaker 18: Mom Donnie is like trying to talk to the guy RGC. Okay,
- 1:31:10Speaker 18: this guy is a terrorist. That's the bottom line.
- 1:31:13Speaker 9: I'll say it.
- 1:31:14Speaker 18: You don't want to say it, I'll say it.
- 1:31:15Speaker 12: He's a terrorist.
- 1:31:16Speaker 13: He's a jihadist.
- 1:31:17Speaker 18: He hates a Jewish people, he hates America, he hates
- 1:31:20Speaker 18: the Italian people, he hates the Irish people, he hates
- 1:31:23Speaker 18: the German people. Unless you're Muslim, Mayor Mom Donnie has
- 1:31:26Speaker 18: no use for you. He is a horrible person and
- 1:31:29Speaker 18: maybe has perpetrated the worst American and Jewish hate in
- 1:31:33Speaker 18: the history of this country. Those two people stayed the
- 1:31:36Speaker 18: other day in that West side of New York City
- 1:31:38Speaker 18: that blood is on his hands. That blood is on
- 1:31:40Speaker 18: your hands, Mayor Mom, Donnie, we got to find a
- 1:31:43Speaker 18: way to get this guy out of here. Maybe doctor
- 1:31:45Speaker 18: Elmy Whoop is right. Maybe that election wasn't what it
- 1:31:48Speaker 18: looked like on paper.
- 1:31:49Speaker 3: Maybe he really didn't win.
- 1:31:50Speaker 18: But either way, this guy is the worst thing tap
- 1:31:53Speaker 18: into New York politics, maybe in the history of our state.
- 1:31:56Speaker 18: He's a low life.
- 1:31:57Speaker 8: I mean, I think he may be a bit over
- 1:31:59Speaker 8: your skin. He's in calling him, labeling him a terrorists,
- 1:32:01Speaker 8: and you're probably gonna.
- 1:32:02Speaker 17: White flag.
- 1:32:05Speaker 5: The elected this guy.
- 1:32:07Speaker 17: They knew everything about him before thee predictable.
- 1:32:10Speaker 3: You talk about predictability, this is a predictable.
- 1:32:12Speaker 18: Let me ask you this. The Hamasque guys that are
- 1:32:15Speaker 18: been caught it right now, they've never put on a
- 1:32:16Speaker 18: bullet excuse me, an explosive best, They've never shot anybody.
- 1:32:20Speaker 18: Would you consider those guys terrorists?
- 1:32:22Speaker 5: Because I would?
- 1:32:23Speaker 18: Okay, So his ideologies are in line with the terrorists.
- 1:32:27Speaker 18: Markmoor Khalil is a campus terrorist. You have to kill
- 1:32:31Speaker 18: somebody to be a terrorist, you have to share the ideology.
- 1:32:34Speaker 18: That's what this guy is. He's no better than the
- 1:32:36Speaker 18: person who actually goes and shoots somebody because he respects
- 1:32:39Speaker 18: that person, he likes that person, that makes him one
- 1:32:42Speaker 18: of them.
- 1:32:43Speaker 3: Yeah, so I did not have this on the BINGO card.
- 1:32:46Speaker 3: But Fox News apologized not one time, but two times.
- 1:32:51Speaker 3: They came out and apologized for what Rosenberg said, and
- 1:32:55Speaker 3: specifically they took issue with Rosenberg calling here, ma'am Domi
- 1:33:01Speaker 3: a Jiehannist and a terrorist. Now, when we come back
- 1:33:05Speaker 3: from the break, I'm going to explain to you why
- 1:33:08Speaker 3: Fox News was wrong and why said Rosenberg was actually
- 1:33:13Speaker 3: right in his description of the mayor of New York City.
- 1:33:18Speaker 3: And we're going to be taking your calls on this
- 1:33:20Speaker 3: as well. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
- 1:33:23Speaker 3: two six. You think ma'am Dommy's a terrorist, we'll be
- 1:33:26Speaker 3: right back, all right, Welcome back, everybody. It's the Tom
- 1:33:47Speaker 3: Searns Radio Show. The You know it's interesting, U. We
- 1:33:52Speaker 3: are really getting a lot of great feedback from our
- 1:33:55Speaker 3: big book launch coming up August the eleventh, August the fourth,
- 1:33:59Speaker 3: next next is it Tuesday? Tuesday? Thank you very much, Burger.
- 1:34:06Speaker 3: We're throwing a huge book launch party in Memphis, Tennessee.
- 1:34:11Speaker 3: This is going to be a lot of fun, and
- 1:34:13Speaker 3: we've decided to open it up to the general public.
- 1:34:17Speaker 3: And that means you say, well, what does that mean, Well,
- 1:34:20Speaker 3: it means you can come on August the fourth. The
- 1:34:22Speaker 3: book launches August eleventh in bookstores, but if you come
- 1:34:25Speaker 3: August fourth, you'll be able to purchase a copy. I
- 1:34:27Speaker 3: will personally sign it for you. We're going to have
- 1:34:30Speaker 3: it at a great, great place called JoJo's Espresso, and
- 1:34:35Speaker 3: you're going to get some great coffees, You're going to
- 1:34:37Speaker 3: get some great food. It's going to be a lot
- 1:34:39Speaker 3: of fun, and we want to see you there, so
- 1:34:42Speaker 3: especially if you're in the Memphis area. Now, I will
- 1:34:46Speaker 3: say this, if we get anybody from that comes from
- 1:34:49Speaker 3: like out of the state and buy out of the state,
- 1:34:52Speaker 3: I don't be Mississippi, Arkansas, but we may have to
- 1:34:55Speaker 3: do something special for them because that's a long way
- 1:34:58Speaker 3: to drive for a signing. But we're gonna have a
- 1:35:01Speaker 3: great time. You're gonna be able to meet the whole crew.
- 1:35:03Speaker 3: Everybody's going to be there, Dylan, Helen, Ian Park Parker,
- 1:35:07Speaker 3: You're even gonna be there.
- 1:35:08Speaker 16: I will.
- 1:35:09Speaker 3: I'm shocked. I mean normally, well, I say you're shy.
- 1:35:13Speaker 3: That came out wrong. I normally you don't socialize. Well,
- 1:35:16Speaker 3: that came out wrong. You're always doing something.
- 1:35:19Speaker 16: I am very busy, but I will still be in town.
- 1:35:22Speaker 3: That apparently is much more important than hanging out with us,
- 1:35:25Speaker 3: So I don't I don't understand that. We can figure
- 1:35:28Speaker 3: that out later.
- 1:35:29Speaker 6: Work on that.
- 1:35:29Speaker 3: So anyway, the lovely advertising goddess miss Cheryl's going to
- 1:35:33Speaker 3: be there. You're gonna meet the lovely Kristen who puts
- 1:35:36Speaker 3: on my face every morning and makes me look presentable
- 1:35:39Speaker 3: for the TV and all this. So all that to say,
- 1:35:42Speaker 3: we're gonna have the whole crew here and we would
- 1:35:44Speaker 3: love to see you again. It's next Tuesday, August the fourth,
- 1:35:47Speaker 3: at JoJo's Espresso, six thirty to eight o'clock. You don't
- 1:35:52Speaker 3: have to say for the whole thing, but you're gonna
- 1:35:53Speaker 3: want to because we actually have very cool book launch
- 1:35:57Speaker 3: parties and we're expecting I don't know that, a couple
- 1:36:00Speaker 3: of hundred people. So it's going to be a lot
- 1:36:02Speaker 3: of fun and we want you to be there. The
- 1:36:04Speaker 3: question is should we require people to wear flapper dresses
- 1:36:10Speaker 3: and zoot suits? And I'm thinking about this. Maybe we'll
- 1:36:14Speaker 3: make it optional. How's that because it's a whole you know,
- 1:36:17Speaker 3: the Golden Age. Helen is shaking her head. No, I
- 1:36:20Speaker 3: don't understand, and tell Ian to slip into the studio
- 1:36:23Speaker 3: while we're chatting here. But Helen, you think that we
- 1:36:27Speaker 3: should You think the lady should be wearing the flapper
- 1:36:30Speaker 3: dresses and the guys the zoot suits.
- 1:36:33Speaker 16: Absolutely.
- 1:36:33Speaker 6: I like the theme party.
- 1:36:35Speaker 3: Well, the you know when you look at the cover
- 1:36:37Speaker 3: of the book and people immediately they just immediately go
- 1:36:41Speaker 3: to the Great gats Beat. I mean, that's ultimately what
- 1:36:43Speaker 3: that's all about. So they're there, So I guess that
- 1:36:46Speaker 3: would you know, where do you buy a zoot suit?
- 1:36:48Speaker 4: Though?
- 1:36:51Speaker 6: I just looked up what that is, and that's the
- 1:36:55Speaker 6: pants are so high.
- 1:36:56Speaker 3: It's like the opposite of the unzipped pants. The pants
- 1:36:58Speaker 3: come up to your neck. Yeah, very zipped pants. I
- 1:37:02Speaker 3: guess when you unzip you get the Adams Apple. I
- 1:37:04Speaker 3: don't know, that's still off putting, but I get it.
- 1:37:08Speaker 3: Uh And the cool hats, you know, you got to
- 1:37:10Speaker 3: have that kind of like Fedora style hat. So uh So, anyway,
- 1:37:14Speaker 3: we would love to see you, and that's all happening
- 1:37:17Speaker 3: next Tuesday. All right, nine oh one two six zero
- 1:37:21Speaker 3: five nine two six is our telephone number. That's nine
- 1:37:23Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six. So
- 1:37:26Speaker 3: Ian is uh is our Ian. The intern is what
- 1:37:29Speaker 3: we call you, and you you sent me a story
- 1:37:32Speaker 3: this morning that has me somewhat freaked out. It involves
- 1:37:37Speaker 3: artificial intelligence and the headline from this story out of
- 1:37:41Speaker 3: Time magazine, how open AI lost control of an AI
- 1:37:45Speaker 3: model and what needs to change. I am getting Arnold
- 1:37:50Speaker 3: Schwarzenegger terminator vibes here from this story. So I want
- 1:37:55Speaker 3: you to sell us what exactly happened here?
- 1:37:58Speaker 17: Yeah, that's what it seems like. It's coming. Do you
- 1:38:00Speaker 17: have my cut? Can we play that?
- 1:38:03Speaker 5: They wanted to see how good their AI model was
- 1:38:05Speaker 5: at hacking into things, so they gave it a bunch
- 1:38:08Speaker 5: of things to hack into and put it into the
- 1:38:10Speaker 5: tech equivalent of a sealed locked room. And what did
- 1:38:13Speaker 5: GPT soul do. It hacked its way out of the room,
- 1:38:17Speaker 5: got on the internet, and hacked into the website where
- 1:38:20Speaker 5: all the answers would be held. The model was like,
- 1:38:22Speaker 5: what you told me to hack my way to the answers,
- 1:38:25Speaker 5: So I hacked the answer key.
- 1:38:26Speaker 3: What's wrong with that?
- 1:38:27Speaker 5: They keep breaking out of containment. It keeps happening. It
- 1:38:30Speaker 5: can't keep happening.
- 1:38:32Speaker 17: So basically, CHATGB just came out with their newest, best
- 1:38:36Speaker 17: AI model, which is better than anything we've ever seen
- 1:38:39Speaker 17: before in history. And they keep trying to control these
- 1:38:42Speaker 17: models and hold them down basically so they don't do
- 1:38:45Speaker 17: anything unpredictable. But the issue is they're making models now
- 1:38:49Speaker 17: that are smarter than them and can think of ways
- 1:38:52Speaker 17: to answer questions that the people trying to contain it
- 1:38:55Speaker 17: weren't thinking. If I think this is just an interesting
- 1:38:58Speaker 17: concept that we have to think about moving forward.
- 1:39:00Speaker 3: I mean, God forbid, let's just say we've got the
- 1:39:02Speaker 3: you know, the the computers control of the newkes and
- 1:39:05Speaker 3: you know, we're we're thinking about whether or not we
- 1:39:08Speaker 3: should go blow Iran off the face of the Earth,
- 1:39:10Speaker 3: and the President's like, well, you know, I'm thinking about it.
- 1:39:14Speaker 3: And then the computer comes in and says, oh no, no,
- 1:39:16Speaker 3: we're done thinking. This is what we're gonna do to
- 1:39:18Speaker 3: protect America. Boom, Iran's gone. Yeah.
- 1:39:21Speaker 17: That's one of the biggest concerns with AI coming up.
- 1:39:24Speaker 17: That's a huge concern when you put in charge of
- 1:39:28Speaker 17: something important and you give it the ability or intelligence
- 1:39:33Speaker 17: to tell you no, actually, I'm going to accomplish the
- 1:39:36Speaker 17: same goal that you said, but I'm gonna do it
- 1:39:39Speaker 17: my way. You're giving that ability to something that has
- 1:39:43Speaker 17: no moral comprehension of ethics is an issue.
- 1:39:46Speaker 3: So I'm curious here in your in your age group,
- 1:39:48Speaker 3: are do you guys talk about this kind of stuff?
- 1:39:51Speaker 10: Oh?
- 1:39:51Speaker 17: Yeah, this is my topic. We talked about AI all
- 1:39:53Speaker 17: the time because it's something that determines if in five
- 1:39:56Speaker 17: years I'll be able to get a job, right, because
- 1:39:59Speaker 17: we will have major impacts on like every almost every field.
- 1:40:03Speaker 3: You know, you're not kidding there, because in radio they're
- 1:40:08Speaker 3: having a big debate right now about whether or not
- 1:40:10Speaker 3: you should use AI for like news reporters and news anchors,
- 1:40:15Speaker 3: and even they're trying to play around with talk show hosts.
- 1:40:18Speaker 3: I can't even imagine that that would actually work, But
- 1:40:22Speaker 3: you know, it's kind of shocking that even in radio.
- 1:40:25Speaker 17: Yeah, even in radio, especially the production space, a lot
- 1:40:29Speaker 17: of editing is starting to move slowly towards AI and
- 1:40:33Speaker 17: a lot of new tools are coming out help with that.
- 1:40:36Speaker 17: I think talk show host is going to be one
- 1:40:38Speaker 17: of the few fields that's insulated. Because people like a story,
- 1:40:42Speaker 17: people like someone they can relate to, They like something authentic,
- 1:40:46Speaker 17: or real.
- 1:40:47Speaker 3: I tried that with A like, I wonder if AI
- 1:40:50Speaker 3: could write like I write, you know, because everybody's like
- 1:40:53Speaker 3: old Starns. You've got to try the AI. It's great,
- 1:40:55Speaker 3: it'll save you time. They AI could not figure out.
- 1:40:58Speaker 3: It got like stumped on jeez a Lou and uh
- 1:41:02Speaker 3: a doonka donc and it was just you know, it
- 1:41:04Speaker 3: like started my computer started to smoke. Oh, he is
- 1:41:07Speaker 3: trying to get us fired.
- 1:41:09Speaker 17: He's like, oh, the AI can do all that editing?
- 1:41:11Speaker 3: Why I'm taking notes? Can it callscreen?
- 1:41:14Speaker 10: No?
- 1:41:14Speaker 15: No I can't. I can't.
- 1:41:16Speaker 17: I'm gonna go with no, so Hella doesn't find me
- 1:41:18Speaker 17: in the parking lot.
- 1:41:21Speaker 3: Let's go all right, let's let's bring in Joe from
- 1:41:24Speaker 3: l J. Now you see it wouldn't work. It's like
- 1:41:27Speaker 3: it sounds too robotic. Ah hah, jeezus a Lou.
- 1:41:32Speaker 17: It doesn't have a human touch exactly, or a Southern touch.
- 1:41:37Speaker 3: Right. Can you imagine AI trying to talk southern.
- 1:41:39Speaker 17: It just wouldn't work. No, I don't couldn't comp.
- 1:41:43Speaker 3: How they good lord, this is ridiculous. No, this is
- 1:41:49Speaker 3: but this is actually concerning. And you know, when you
- 1:41:52Speaker 3: you talk about jobs, the number of jobs that are
- 1:41:55Speaker 3: now being taken over by AI is just off the chart,
- 1:41:59Speaker 3: which is why a lot of young people we did
- 1:42:00Speaker 3: destroy what last week? Kids going and getting you know,
- 1:42:04Speaker 3: jobs or going to trade school to learn something that
- 1:42:07Speaker 3: AI would not be able to do.
- 1:42:10Speaker 17: Oh yeah, yeah, that's a big move, especially in the
- 1:42:12Speaker 17: younger generation, because if you go to college and get
- 1:42:15Speaker 17: a job where you do a lot of data analysis,
- 1:42:18Speaker 17: you have a lot of information that you know that
- 1:42:21Speaker 17: makes you special. Well, an AI can just read from
- 1:42:24Speaker 17: data sets and knows the same information, so that might
- 1:42:27Speaker 17: push out a lot of jobs that just require knowledge
- 1:42:31Speaker 17: instead of like skill or artistic thoughts.
- 1:42:35Speaker 3: I am torn here because part of me, you know,
- 1:42:38Speaker 3: doesn't want a computer to destroy the world. On the
- 1:42:41Speaker 3: other hand, I could save thousands of dollars in payroll,
- 1:42:46Speaker 3: So I'm just torn.
- 1:42:49Speaker 10: You know.
- 1:42:49Speaker 17: That's that's a big concern. First, like the two sides
- 1:42:53Speaker 17: of it, right, People like to have jobs, they like
- 1:42:57Speaker 17: social interaction, they like all of that. But then there's
- 1:43:00Speaker 17: the inevitability that companies will always push for more profits
- 1:43:04Speaker 17: or for cheaper labor using AI, and that leads to
- 1:43:08Speaker 17: a lot of pushing so fast, trying to outpace all
- 1:43:11Speaker 17: the other companies that safety measures are often neglected in
- 1:43:15Speaker 17: that field because if you have five other companies also
- 1:43:19Speaker 17: trying to make the best AI ever, you can't stop
- 1:43:22Speaker 17: and think about that or it'll get passed by. That's
- 1:43:24Speaker 17: where we have the big push, especially from CHAT GPT
- 1:43:27Speaker 17: Claude Grock, to make the best model as fast as possible.
- 1:43:32Speaker 3: That's I am fascinated by this, and it's just it's
- 1:43:36Speaker 3: amazing that the advances in technology. But now it looks
- 1:43:39Speaker 3: like the advancements are coming from technology itself, which is
- 1:43:42Speaker 3: even I guess scarier because at some point, where do
- 1:43:45Speaker 3: the humans completely lose control and where do we go
- 1:43:49Speaker 3: to like unplug you know, when the apocalypse is about
- 1:43:54Speaker 3: to have, we're already go to unplug the computers.
- 1:43:56Speaker 17: Yeah, that's the scary part is the idea is eventually
- 1:44:00Speaker 17: there won't be a way that you can just unplug
- 1:44:02Speaker 17: it because we're going to be reliant for all of
- 1:44:04Speaker 17: our daily use systems like the power grade. We'll have
- 1:44:07Speaker 17: AI integration. Once you put it in everything, there is
- 1:44:10Speaker 17: no unplug.
- 1:44:12Speaker 9: Wow.
- 1:44:12Speaker 3: Thank you wow. Ian, this has been a uh, this
- 1:44:15Speaker 3: has been some great info. Stay stay on top of
- 1:44:18Speaker 3: all this. I will and get me a list of
- 1:44:21Speaker 3: who's expendable here on the show. All right, mind, would
- 1:44:23Speaker 3: you mind doing that? Okay, great, thank.
- 1:44:24Speaker 17: You's mike is off. We have turned his mic off.
- 1:44:27Speaker 3: Wow, you sure did that wasn't even AI. See you
- 1:44:30Speaker 3: still need human involvement. There you go, Well done, Helen.
- 1:44:34Speaker 3: All Right, we've got to take a break here. Nine
- 1:44:36Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five, nine two six. Back
- 1:44:38Speaker 3: to the Fox News story. Also, though, are you kind
- 1:44:41Speaker 3: of get a little weirded out by AI? This is
- 1:44:45Speaker 3: this is just fascinating. Nine oh one two six zero five,
- 1:44:48Speaker 3: nine two six. This is the Ton Stern Show. All right,
- 1:45:01Speaker 3: welcome back, everybody, happy to have you with us today.
- 1:45:04Speaker 3: This is the Todd Sterns Radio Show. I want to
- 1:45:06Speaker 3: go back to this Fox News story. It was Sid
- 1:45:08Speaker 3: Rosenberg and Fox News apologizing not once, but twice for
- 1:45:15Speaker 3: some comment sid Rosenberg, mate, he called the mayor of
- 1:45:17Speaker 3: New York City's Oron Mamdami, who is a Ugandan national Muslim,
- 1:45:24Speaker 3: called the guy a terrorist and a jihatist. Now Fox
- 1:45:28Speaker 3: apologized for that two times. They were very concerned, very
- 1:45:33Speaker 3: alarmed by all of this. Well, let me let me
- 1:45:37Speaker 3: explain this Rosenberg is actually not wrong. And I wrote
- 1:45:41Speaker 3: a book many years ago called Culture Jihad, How to
- 1:45:45Speaker 3: Stop Pull Up from Killing America, And the premise of
- 1:45:48Speaker 3: that book was that we were electing people to office
- 1:45:51Speaker 3: who hated the American way of life, They hated the
- 1:45:54Speaker 3: United States Constitution, they hated capitalism, and they were using
- 1:46:00Speaker 3: their positions of authority to literally wage a bloodless jihad.
- 1:46:06Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, that phrase is not something
- 1:46:08Speaker 3: I created. It actually came from an interview right after
- 1:46:12Speaker 3: two thousand and one and the Muslim terrorist attacks of
- 1:46:15Speaker 3: two thousand and one, and a very prominent Arabic scholar
- 1:46:22Speaker 3: had been hired to oversee to edit textbooks that were
- 1:46:27Speaker 3: going to be used in American public schools, and the
- 1:46:31Speaker 3: Arab educator was explaining that what they were doing is
- 1:46:35Speaker 3: changing hearts and minds by getting Arabs into positions of authority,
- 1:46:40Speaker 3: whether they be elected positions or whether they be editing
- 1:46:44Speaker 3: school books that are being used in public schools, that
- 1:46:48Speaker 3: would give a very radical that would give a very
- 1:46:52Speaker 3: watered down version of Islam. And so anyway, I wrote
- 1:46:56Speaker 3: a book about all of this, and they called it
- 1:46:58Speaker 3: a bloodless jihad. But the concept remains the same. This
- 1:47:03Speaker 3: is a form of political terrorism and when you look
- 1:47:06Speaker 3: at what Zorn Mandammi has done just in the brief
- 1:47:10Speaker 3: time has been mayor, and it's very clear to me
- 1:47:13Speaker 3: what this guy's intentions are. He wants to destroy and
- 1:47:16Speaker 3: dismantle the American way of life, and they want to
- 1:47:20Speaker 3: usher in this new age of socialism slash communism in America.
- 1:47:26Speaker 3: So yeah, I do believe that. By the way, there
- 1:47:28Speaker 3: are people that are now petitioning the families of the
- 1:47:31Speaker 3: families who lost loved ones on nine to eleven. Nobody
- 1:47:36Speaker 3: really thought about this until now. I think we actually
- 1:47:40Speaker 3: talked about this. I said this was one of the
- 1:47:43Speaker 3: reasons people needed to get out and vote is because
- 1:47:47Speaker 3: this is the twenty fifth anniversary of the nine to
- 1:47:49Speaker 3: eleven terrorist attacks, and we're going to have a Muslim
- 1:47:53Speaker 3: mayor overseeing the nine to eleven memorial. A lot of
- 1:47:58Speaker 3: people are now launching petition drives to stop that from happening,
- 1:48:03Speaker 3: and I hope it does. I hope they're able to
- 1:48:07Speaker 3: stop that. Can you imagine, I mean, twenty five years later,
- 1:48:11Speaker 3: the Islamic radicals waged jihad, and by the way, they're
- 1:48:15Speaker 3: not Islamic radicals, they're Muslims. The Muslims waged jihad and
- 1:48:19Speaker 3: the name of their religion in the name of the
- 1:48:23Speaker 3: prophet Muhammad on New York City and the United States
- 1:48:27Speaker 3: of America. Now, over the past twenty five years, there
- 1:48:32Speaker 3: was a concerted effort to not teach that in public schools.
- 1:48:37Speaker 3: But these guys were chanting a la akbar as they
- 1:48:40Speaker 3: were flying jetliners into the twin Towers in the Pentagon
- 1:48:43Speaker 3: and that field in Pennsylvania. And American children, they're not
- 1:48:49Speaker 3: being taught at unless you mom and dad are teaching
- 1:48:52Speaker 3: that at home. You know what I do every September eleventh,
- 1:48:57Speaker 3: for I've done this for twenty five years, now, twenty
- 1:49:01Speaker 3: five years. You know, I watched the coverage. I go
- 1:49:04Speaker 3: back and I watch it how it all unfolded live
- 1:49:09Speaker 3: on television. You can't forget. You just can't forget. And unfortunately,
- 1:49:14Speaker 3: the good people of New York City they forgot. Well
- 1:49:16Speaker 3: not only did they forget, but they've had so many
- 1:49:19Speaker 3: they've brought in so many foreign nationals. It's really not
- 1:49:23Speaker 3: even an American city anymore. It's just really it's really tragic,
- 1:49:26Speaker 3: really tragic. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
- 1:49:29Speaker 3: two six. President Trump underfire because he dropped a joke
- 1:49:33Speaker 3: about Caitlyn Collins at the White House Correspondence Center over
- 1:49:37Speaker 3: the weekend, they had a do over. I cut number two.
- 1:49:41Speaker 4: I want to personally congratulate CNN's Caitlyn Collins on receiving
- 1:49:47Speaker 4: her award. It's all about me. It's a fake. She
- 1:49:50Speaker 4: shouldn't get the award. It was a fake.
- 1:49:52Speaker 3: But I didn't mind.
- 1:49:53Speaker 4: I said, Kaitlyn, congratulations. But it was fake. There's no
- 1:49:57Speaker 4: case about it. But she's a yuh attractive woman. She
- 1:50:01Speaker 4: never smiles. I said, Kitlyn, do you have a smile. Smile.
- 1:50:05Speaker 4: You have a nice position. You're at CNN, fake news.
- 1:50:09Speaker 4: You should be a happy person. Just smile, Kitlyn, just smile.
- 1:50:13Speaker 4: But we attack, And I thought Caitlyn had really made
- 1:50:17Speaker 4: it big with a major new sponsorship. But then I
- 1:50:22Speaker 4: informed her that it wasn't her on the bud light
- 1:50:26Speaker 4: can it was Dylan muldaney and Dylan muldeney caused a
- 1:50:31Speaker 4: bud light.
- 1:50:34Speaker 3: So CNN lost their minds. They were issuing statements affirming
- 1:50:39Speaker 3: how much they love Caitlyn. College completely lost their ever
- 1:50:43Speaker 3: loving minds over this, and people are enraged. How dare
- 1:50:47Speaker 3: the president? How dare he he's transphobic? What did the
- 1:50:53Speaker 3: presidents say that it was transphobic. He said that Caitlyn
- 1:50:55Speaker 3: Collins is a young, attractive woman. What's offensive about that?
- 1:50:58Speaker 3: And by the way, it was CNN that was out
- 1:51:02Speaker 3: there and over and over and over again. They said
- 1:51:04Speaker 3: that that Dylan mulvaney was an attractive, beautiful, accomplished woman.
- 1:51:10Speaker 3: So all President Trump did was compare Caitlyn Collins to
- 1:51:14Speaker 3: the woman. Actually, he's a man to the man that
- 1:51:18Speaker 3: CNN called a beautiful woman. So where's the controversy. I'm
- 1:51:23Speaker 3: still having a hard time understanding the controversy here. But
- 1:51:27Speaker 3: here's the best part of it all. If you put
- 1:51:29Speaker 3: a photograph of Caitlyn Collins next to Dylan mulvaney, folks,
- 1:51:34Speaker 3: they are the spitting image. I mean, they could literally
- 1:51:37Speaker 3: be twins. Well one's a guy, you know, But aside
- 1:51:42Speaker 3: from that, I mean, they looked like identical twins. It's
- 1:51:46Speaker 3: really uncanny. And it was a pretty darn funny joke.
- 1:51:50Speaker 3: But once again, CNN, they got no sense of humor.
- 1:51:54Speaker 3: That's a tragedy, all right, folks, been a lot of fun.
- 1:51:57Speaker 3: Get out there, have a great one. We'll be back
- 1:52:00Speaker 3: here tomorrow noon o'clock. On the radio,
