• 0:42
  Speaker 3: lot happening, a lot happening over there today. By the way,

• 1:05
  Speaker 3: owner who was invited by President Trump to be a
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: part of this roundtable on how to make America safe again.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: His name is Tim Pew. He's the co owner of
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Pew's Flowers, and we're excited to have him in the
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: studio today. That is going to be a wonderful, wonderful conversation.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: By the way, right down our telephone number an I
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: know one two six zero five nine two six again
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: that number nine oh one two six zero five, nine
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: to six. So last night on the on the Todd
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Sterns Show on Newsmax, we had a really fascinating conversation
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: with Glenn Beck, who has a great radio program. Many
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: of you watch Glenn on the Blaze, uh, and he
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: has a very powerful new documentary out about the rise
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: of Islam. And it's an issue that a lot of
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: people in this country are not paying very much attention to.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: But quite frankly, I believe it is the absolute most
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: important thing that we ought to be doing and that
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: we ought to be focused on. Now we've been covering it,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: it seems like quite a bit over the past couple
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: of months, as we have seen many cities and towns
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: fall under the control of the Islamist Here in this country,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: we have seen many Democrats and quite frankly Republicans and
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: states like Texas for example, that are embracing Islam. As
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: a matter of fact, today the governor of New Jersey
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: of female visited a moskin. She wore a full hint job.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: And at the end of the day, these folks are
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: going to be very disappointed when they discover that the
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Islamists are not here to be our friends. They are
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: here as conquerors. Their goal is to destroy the Christians
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: and the Jews and to kill off the LGBT community.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: That's the ultimate goal here. And You've got a lot
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: of folks in the social media world. And I'm not
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: going to name names. I know many of you want
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: me to name the names. I'm not going to name
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the names. And I want to explain why I'm not
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: going to name the names because I have suspicions, I
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: do not have proof. But let me just ask you
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: a question. Well, this is sort of a hypothetical question here.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: If Todd Stearns one day, you know, and for the
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: past I don't know, fifty well, for the past thirty
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: five years, I guess when I really started following politics.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Maybe it was forty years forty years when I really
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: started following politics. Jeez, Lou, I'm old, Dylan. So I've
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: been following politics for all the time. From day one.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I've always been pro life, and I've always been pro
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Israel always, and both of those things, by the way,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: they're not influenced by my politics as much as they
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: are my faith, and my faith flavors everything I do,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: and it flavors my politics, which is why I became
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: a Republican. And let's just say that, just one day
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: out of the blue, Todd Starns announces that he is
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: anti Israel and that he is pro choice, And all
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, I have a multi million dollar beach
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: hon and I'm also driving a what's a big fancy
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: car dealing that's a people a Rolls Royce pulling up
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: in a Rolls Royce. Ben Dieters my chauffeur. What would
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: you think happened?
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: There?
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: No rhyme or reason. I've just one day woke up
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: and decided that, you know what, I'm going to be
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: pro choice. I'm going to be pro or anti Israel.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: And when people ask about it, you're like, well, I
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: just you know, I've had a change of heart. Really,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: is it really a change of heart or is it possible,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: just possible that I was influenced by a change in
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: my bank account. So all that to say, I suspect
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: that a lot of the people that are going out
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: there and these podcasters and these social media influencers and
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: the reason why they have turned their back on not
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: only Israel, not only America, but also President Trump. The
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: reason they're doing that is because they are being influenced
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: by the almighty dollar, from Arab nations and possibly from
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: people who hate this country and want to destabilize this country.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Don't you think that's a possibility that a lot of
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: these people. For years, I've been telling you about this,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: that a lot of the people that you see on
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: TV in the conservative world, a lot of the podcasters
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: U see are not really conservatives. They're just playing a part.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: They're grifting off of you, and a part of that
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: grift has resulted in what is a fracture right now
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: in the Republican movement. You guys can feel it, right,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: you can see it. And it pains me to say
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: all of this, it really does. But it's not surprising now.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: There are many For example, Mark Levinn. Mark Levin didn't
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: just wake up one day and be pro Israel. That's
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: the way he's always been. Mark Levin's opinions and values
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: have never changed. Why if you've heard Mark l I
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: love Mark Levin, the great one. That's my Mark Levin impression.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: His opinions have never changed. But now all of a
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: sudden you would think that he is some sort of idolo,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: a double agent for Israel working against America. That's ridiculous.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I'll give you another example. And again, just all right,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: I said it was no, I'm not going to mention that.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to mention ase. But there's one in particular,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: and he's going after my Now, all of a sudden,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Mike Cockabee, who's held the same set of beliefs that
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: I've held, is now anti American. Franklin Graham now all
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: of a sudden considered to be anti American. You see
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: where all of this is going. There is an effort
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: to destroy the true leaders and the true influencers within
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: the conservative movement and within the evangelical Christian community. That
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: is a nefarious thing. And ladies and gentlemen, I want
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: to just positive theory here. Could it be possible that
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: the Muslims, the Islamic radicals, who are incredibly well funded,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: could it be that they are using some of these
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: podcasters and social media influencers to not only infiltrate the
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Trump administration, which has been done, but also to divide
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: all of us. And that's why it is so very
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: important for you to make sure that you are doing
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: your homework. You're researching and you're coming to the table
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: armed with facts and not what somebody is spewing at
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: you from some sort of a podcast, because they have
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: millions and millions of followers, and it is having an impact.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: And I will say this, and we're going to get
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: into to the elections. Yesterday, President Trump a little. It's
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: a black eye for the president when the state representative,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: the state lawmaker there a Republican lost to a Democrat.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: President Trump now represented in Florida by a Democrat at
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: least for right now. And you know what people are saying, Well,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: you know, it's just it doesn't really mat these are
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: special elections, they don't really matter. Republicans don't go out
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: to vote for special elections. Why not? Why? Why? What's going?
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Is it possible? Is it possible that the fracture has
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: resulted in demoralizing and destabilizing the Republican Party? Is it
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: possible that Republicans just don't feel like getting up and
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: going and voting right now? And that's why this has
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: become an issue that we're going to talk about. So
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Glenn Beck joined me last night on my NEWSMAC show
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: and we had a long conversation about this. We're gonna
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: we're gonna play some of that, uh in just a
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: little while. But Glenn Beck believes that this that the
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: the is the rise of the Islamist is the most
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: pressing issue facing our nation. And here's the reason. Why
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: do you think the Do you think the Islamist are
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: going to stop with Belgium or France or the UK.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Do you think they're going to be satisfied with with
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: conquering those nations?
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: No?
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: I don't believe so, because those nations really aren't all
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: that free. I mean, yes, they do have. I mean
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: there's a lot to admire and respect it. Of course,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: there are allies, and I don't mean them anything except
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: for the French, who just annoy me. But ultimately, the
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: greatest prize for the Islamist is to conquer the United
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: States of America. And you know how they're going to
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: do that, folks, They're going to do that through empathy.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: There is a large swath of the Christian community here
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: in this nation, and they're weak, they're limprested, they're lily livered,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: as we say in Mississippi, and they don't mean anything
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: by it. That's just who they are, that is their
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: nature and they believe it's sort of like a church
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: version of DEI. They believe that the diversity of the
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: nation's religious community is what makes us stronger, when in fact,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: it is exactly what is making us weaker because we
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: are meant to be a Christian nation. And we're not
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: going to go through all of that today, but we
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: have well documented this in many books about how our
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: founding fathers meant for us to be a Christian nation.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: That doesn't mean forcing people to go to church, but
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: it does mean that our guiding principles are all based
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: on Holy Scripture. And as a result of that, you
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: do have a choice to worship God or not worship God.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: And you're not going to get in trouble for that.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Nobody's gonna yell at you. You're not going to get
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: in trouble if you're a Methodist or a Baptist, or
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: a Presbyterian or a Pentecology. It doesn't matter if you
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: want to be If you want to be a Hindu
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: or a Buddhist, you can do that so long as
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: you don't blow the rest of us up. We don't care.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: But that philosophy only works under our form of governments,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: and what have they been doing. They've been chipping away
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: at it day after day after day. And Donald Trump
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: steps in and he's done a terrific job of shoring
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: back up the foundation. But we've taken a lot of
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: sucker punches. And the biggest, I think was when the
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: China virus happened and the government shut down our churches.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Let me stop there, my apologies. We let the government
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: shut down our churches. That was I think the turning point.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: So ultimately the grand prize in the conquest is going
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: to be the United States of America. That's what the
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Islamists want to destroy. They want to destroy our way
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: of life, and they want to take over. They want
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: to take over our nation. And Glenn is going to
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: talk about this, and we're going to play some of
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: the audio from that interview coming up at the bottom
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: of the hour. Our telephone number nine oh one two
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: six zero five, nine two six. That's nine oh one
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: two six zero five to nine two six. Another question
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: here is why the Democrats and why do you believe
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: the Democrats keep winning these special elections. I mean, of
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: all places Florida, there were two two Republicans lost their
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: races in of all places, Florida yesterday. Why do you
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: believe that is and should we be concerned about that?
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Do you believe that we ought to be paying attention here?
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: And if there's something broken, what needs to be fixed again?
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Our number nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: two six. This is the Todd Sterns Show. Hey, everybody,
• 13:23

• 14:06
  Speaker 3: You can't miss out on this, folks. Eight six four
• 14:09

• 14:13
  Speaker 3: visit phdweightloss dot com. That's phdweight loss dot com. The
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: phone number one more time eight six four sixty four
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: four nineteen hundred and say Starns.
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: I saw one part you had a statue of Jesus.
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: Now I know you laughed, But do you think that
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: for many listeners they would find that so deeply offensive
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: to take a badence of smash Jesus into pieces?
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: Wasn't it Madonna, by the way, No, it was.
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: There was one I think of Madonna, the Madonna and
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: the child, and that was one of Jesus.
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: So the thing, that's a very good question, because I
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: think it might offend people. I think in Belgium not really.
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: We're not a very religious country and definitely not the
• 15:00
  Speaker 8: listeners of Studio Brussels. But what we did, all the
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: things we smashed, we made it very clear as well
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: that these were all things that were already broken. So
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: the statue it was turned face towards the back of
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: the room so you wouldn't see the face as well,
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: because that was already it was a broken statue as well.
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: But I think I would have been more careful in
• 15:20
  Speaker 8: another country, Definitely in Belgium, it is not a big issue.
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: Let me ask you this, if you were doing the
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: video again, would you smash a symbol of the prophet Mohammad?
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: That is a very dangerous one.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: You wouldn't do it?
• 15:33
  Speaker 9: Why not?
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: No?
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: Because that would be inappropriate because in Belgium there are many.
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: There are Christians too, I know the Pope visited Belgium recently.
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: No, I know there are Christians, but it's since we
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: are all from the Christian tradition. I think it's like
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: laughing with yourself, or like.
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: You would never do it with Mohammed. No, no star
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: of David for Judaism.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: I would do it. I wouldn't do it.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: No, All right, there you have it. Those are Belgium
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: radio hosts. Christian's fair game. But whoa Nelly, we're not
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: going to be talking about the musclim No, no, no,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: we're not. No, please, radio host, go boom. Nobody wants that.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Let's go to the phone lines here. Nine oh one
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six. Bob is calling
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: in from o'calla, Florida. WOCA are great affiliate there, Bob.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: What in the world is going on in your state?
• 16:29
  Speaker 10: Oh?
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, the Florida is pretty decent. It hands deepex,
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: but it's a pretty decent place. I want to talk
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: to you about New York. I was elected official in
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: New York, and so I keep in touch and maney
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: of many of the people that I know, they were
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: good Conservatives have used out of New York. And and
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: this is what the supervisor and the town I came
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: from had told me. And we were discussing, uh, the politics,
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: and I said, well, what was what's the Democratic Party
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: going to do about this? And he looked at me
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: and he said, there is no Democratic Party here. And
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: I says what he says, No, there's no Democratic Party.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: He said, the town board wants to put their live
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: in partners on the health insurance and have the taxpayers
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: paid for the health insurance. And I said, I said, well,
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: how can that happen? He says, well, the people that
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: had been elected the town board are really not Republicans anymore.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: They're the Democrats. Democrats is taken over the town board.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: And so what I just want to tell you is that, uh,
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: it's not a big step for the Muslims who've taken
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: over the Democratic Party to now step over and take
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: over the Republican Party, and so that's what they want
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: to tell you.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Well, well, Bob, I appreciate you calling in, and let
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: me just say this that when you, when you do
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: look at the Democrat Party, they have surrendered to the Muslims.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: There's no doubt about that. And of course we're seeing
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: that play out in many American cities. I suspect we're
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: going to be seeing many, many more Islamists who are
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: who are being elected to office, and a lot of
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: it has to do with the fact that Republicans are
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: as terrified. Republicans don't want to be labeled as Islamophobic,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: so I'm not terribly surprised by that, but I'm curious
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: what what do you folks think is going on here?
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Because since President Trump was elected, Democrats so far have
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: flipped more than two dozen seats in Republican or battleground states,
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: including Arkansas, by the way, and New Hampshire. Republicans, on
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: the other hand, have not captured any Democrat seats at all.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: So Democrats are making gains. And the argument is, well,
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: you know, this just always happens, really is that it?
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Or is there something else going on here? Nine oh
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: one two six zero five nine two sis our number,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: that's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: This is the Todd Stern Show, and this is the
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Tod Stearns Radio Show, and we are so happy that
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: you have decided to hang out with us noon to

• 19:53
  Speaker 3: stations across this great nation. By the way, today you

  Speaker 3: can officially purchase a kindle version or an e version
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: of my brand new book, which will be out in
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: the spring. It's called The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America,
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: and you can get yourself a kindle version, or we're
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: also working on an audiobook, but right now you can

• 20:21
  Speaker 3: e version of the book. Go to Barnes and Noble
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: or Amazon wherever you buy your books, and you can
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: pre order online today. Again, the name of the book
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: the Golden Age, How Trump Saved America, and the President
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: wrote a nice little blurb, thank you, mister President. The
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: Speaker of the House Mike Johnson also endorsing the book,
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: along with a number of other lawmakers and the religious leaders.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: And we're just mighty thankful for all of them. So
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: look here here's the situation circling back to what Glenn
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Beck is very concerned about. He believes that we are
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: living in the end of days. He believes when you
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: look at all of the signs, that we are living
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: in the time of the rapture. And you'll hear him
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: talking about this. The starting off point was the fact
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: that the Islamis desecrated the nine to eleven Memorial for
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Firefighters in New York City when they draped the memorial
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: with Muslim prayer rugs. They know what they were doing.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: I do not find that to be coincidental at all
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: or incidental. Here's the conversation with the great Glenn back Well.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Joining now is Glenn back host of the Glenn back Program,
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: founder of the Torch, and he has a very important
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: documentary out exposing the Islamis blueprint for conquering the West.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Glenn, good to see you.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: I'm just curious, what do you make of what happened
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: at Fire Department headquarters there at New York City.
• 21:55
  Speaker 11: You know, not knowing any of the groups involved, you know,
• 22:00
  Speaker 11: would only be speculating. But after doing this documentary it
• 22:06
  Speaker 11: took us four months to make it, and after putting
• 22:09
  Speaker 11: it together, I just don't believe that there is such a.
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: Thing as a coincidence. I mean, it is a.
• 22:14
  Speaker 11: Stated goal to turn America into an Islamic state, get
• 22:21
  Speaker 11: rid of our constitution or our constitutional freedoms, and it
• 22:25
  Speaker 11: is a very well laid plan. On the documentary, we
• 22:29
  Speaker 11: showed that a group that was actually tied to the
• 22:35
  Speaker 11: Muslim Brotherhood, which is a terrorist organization, was scheduled to
• 22:39
  Speaker 11: meet with George Bush in the Oval Office on nine
• 22:42
  Speaker 11: to eleven, two thousand and one. It was supposed to
• 22:45
  Speaker 11: happen to three h five in the afternoon. And that
• 22:47
  Speaker 11: just shows access. They have been working on access for
• 22:51
  Speaker 11: a very, very long time.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: I had a Senator Tommy Tubbervelt on the show just
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: last week. I want to play a bit of our
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: conversation this issue. I'm just wondering, do you have any
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: regrets by what you posted?
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: No, I don't have any aggress whatsoever. Todd. The enemy
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: is inside our gates. We got them here. Joe Biden
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: and Barack Obama brought them here by the thousands. It's
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: a disgrace.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: You know, if you preach or teach Sharia law, you
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: need to go home. Yeah, Glenn, I know a lot
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: of folks saw that. What do you think about what
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: the senator just said.
• 23:27
  Speaker 11: There agreed, If you're into sharia law, that is absolutely
• 23:33
  Speaker 11: un American.
• 23:34
  Speaker 9: It's not constitutional.
• 23:35
  Speaker 11: And remember, sharia law is a political and governmental base.
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: It's not religious. When we're talking.
• 23:45
  Speaker 11: Islamists, you're not talking of religion. You are talking about
• 23:51
  Speaker 11: a political movement to overthrow countries and take control of
• 23:55
  Speaker 11: the country. Sharia law. We cannot have two sets of laws.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: We can't. We can't.
• 24:01
  Speaker 11: It will not survive. England is going through this, Germany
• 24:04
  Speaker 11: is going through this. If we don't wake up now,
• 24:07
  Speaker 11: they're about maybe maybe five years ahead of us. But
• 24:11
  Speaker 11: as the documents show that we showed on my special,
• 24:15
  Speaker 11: America is the number one target for a global caliphate.
• 24:20
  Speaker 11: They must have America and they are targeting it, and
• 24:23
  Speaker 11: it's time we take it seriously. You know, after nine
• 24:26
  Speaker 11: to eleven, all we paid attention to were the explosions
• 24:29
  Speaker 11: and the terror vests and the bombs and.
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: The airplanes and everything like that. We did not pay attention.
• 24:35
  Speaker 11: In fact, we've ignored what is happening in our own communities. Dearborn,
• 24:42
  Speaker 11: how about Minnesota? What is happening? This is not a coincidence.
• 24:47
  Speaker 11: This is not They are not melting into our society.
• 24:52
  Speaker 11: This is a problem because for many the goal is
• 24:56
  Speaker 11: surey a law.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: So, Glenn, I want to talk about the documentary exposing
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: the Islamist blueprint for conquering the West, and again it
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: is available exclusively on the Torch. You say that we're
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: sort of missing the real long game strategy here. I
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: got everybody wants to focus on nine to eleven or
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: you know, the recent terror attacks. But what did you
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: what do you mean by the long term strategy, long
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: game here.
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: At Global Caliphate?
• 25:21
  Speaker 11: You know, you remember the days when I had a
• 25:24
  Speaker 11: chalkboard years ago and I put on the chalkboard Islamists, socialist, communist, radicals,
• 25:32
  Speaker 11: anarchists will work together to destabilize the Middle East, Europe
• 25:37
  Speaker 11: and America to overthrow the Western world. And everyone said
• 25:42
  Speaker 11: that was crazy on so many fronts. One they would
• 25:45
  Speaker 11: never work together, the Green Red Alliance. I didn't even
• 25:49
  Speaker 11: know what that was. I'm not even sure it was
• 25:51
  Speaker 11: named that when I first put that chalkboard up. It
• 25:54
  Speaker 11: is the alliance of the Marxists, those radicals along with
• 25:59
  Speaker 11: the Green Radical which are the Islamists, the ones who
• 26:03
  Speaker 11: want Shuria Law. They are working hand in hand because
• 26:07
  Speaker 11: they have one goal in hand, and that is destruction
• 26:11
  Speaker 11: of the Western world, the destruction of capitalism. It is
• 26:15
  Speaker 11: well documented. I mean, go to stop the Conquest. If
• 26:20
  Speaker 11: you watch the special, I think on Thursday, I'm coming
• 26:22
  Speaker 11: out with a handbook on it that gives you all
• 26:26
  Speaker 11: of the documents in their own words, what they are
• 26:30
  Speaker 11: saying they're doing to America. You know, in nineteen ninety nine,
• 26:34
  Speaker 11: I was on the air at WABC and I actually
• 26:37
  Speaker 11: stood up for the action that Bill Clinton took when
• 26:41
  Speaker 11: he was when he bombed the aspirin factory.
• 26:43
  Speaker 9: I don't remember that.
• 26:45
  Speaker 11: And the reason why I said, he's going after a
• 26:49
  Speaker 11: guy named Osama bin Laden, and I had not heard
• 26:52
  Speaker 11: of him before, but I looked him up that day
• 26:54
  Speaker 11: and I read his words, and no one took me
• 26:57
  Speaker 11: seriously then, and I said, I'm telling you, within ten years,
• 27:00
  Speaker 11: there will be blood bodies and buildings in the streets
• 27:03
  Speaker 11: of Manhattan and it will have his name on. That
• 27:05
  Speaker 11: was nineteen ninety nine, two thousand and one, we saw
• 27:08
  Speaker 11: his work. The same warning I issue. Now they are
• 27:12
  Speaker 11: telling us what they're doing in their own words. They're
• 27:16
  Speaker 11: telling us what they're doing to the West. We must
• 27:20
  Speaker 11: pay attention.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Have to Glenn, Here's what concerns me.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: I'm an Evangelical and I don't see our evangelical churches
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: standing up and mass to this fight, even so much
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: as educating Christians about what the Islamist really want. I
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: think we're certainly seeing a robust experience people going back
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: to the Catholic Church. But do you see the Christian
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: community at large here in America understanding what I consider
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: to be a clear and present danger.
• 27:49
  Speaker 11: So I will tell you I'll go further then you will,
• 27:53
  Speaker 11: and probably most will, and probably what's good for me.
• 27:57
  Speaker 11: But I believe there is a possibility that we are
• 28:00
  Speaker 11: living in the end of days they especially what's happening
• 28:06
  Speaker 11: with the twelve Verse in Iran. I've been talking about
• 28:09
  Speaker 11: them for thirty years. They were so radical that the
• 28:13
  Speaker 11: Ayatola Kamani said they could not be part of the revolution, which,
• 28:17
  Speaker 11: by the way, the revolution to overthrow Iran was Marxist
• 28:22
  Speaker 11: taking the colleges and the Islamist taking the all of
• 28:26
  Speaker 11: the religious combining and overthrowing. And then after the Islamist
• 28:32
  Speaker 11: revolution with the Marxists, they killed all the Marxists but anyway,
• 28:36
  Speaker 11: the twelvers are so dangerous because they believe that the
• 28:41
  Speaker 11: twelfth the mom the Mahadi is coming, and when you
• 28:46
  Speaker 11: wash the world in blood, the Mahadi will come, and
• 28:50
  Speaker 11: that will bring They will bring Jesus, who they believe
• 28:54
  Speaker 11: will testify to Allah.
• 28:57
  Speaker 9: And say to Christians, you're on the wrong side.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: They are right.
• 29:01
  Speaker 11: Now many of the twelve Vers in Shia Islam are
• 29:04
  Speaker 11: saying that Donald Trump is the dejal, the anti price.
• 29:08
  Speaker 11: They are fighting a religious battle. Whether you like it
• 29:12
  Speaker 11: or not, it doesn't matter. They are right. Thomas Jefferson said,
• 29:18
  Speaker 11: we are first foreign war was with the Barbary pirates,
• 29:21
  Speaker 11: the Muslims. He didn't understand. He got the Koran, read
• 29:24
  Speaker 11: the Koran printed a grand I have one of the
• 29:27
  Speaker 11: first American copies in English of the Krand from Jefferson.
• 29:30
  Speaker 11: He put a warning in there. One of the things
• 29:33
  Speaker 11: he said at the end of that war, because we
• 29:35
  Speaker 11: didn't finish the job, he said, we must pay attention
• 29:38
  Speaker 11: to these people. He said, they are serious about their religion.
• 29:42
  Speaker 11: This is our first foreign war, and if we're not careful,
• 29:45
  Speaker 11: it will be America's last foreign war.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: All right, let's try to work in some calls here.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, I've got so much material to talk
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: about it. We're going to try to get it all in.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: But Dylan, before we go to the phones, I got
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: to tell you, guess guess who's going to be on
• 30:06

• 30:33
  Speaker 5: The one that one of the two teams that you
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: actually wrote down. It's hard to say that.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: I also wrote in the Mormons, but I don't think
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: that counts no offense to the Donnie Marie and the Osmans.
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: That's exciting, though, Yeah.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: It's pretty exciting. It's gonna be a lot of fun.
• 30:47

  Speaker 3: disagreeing with you because I call them demon rats myself,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: But what is it? What is it that clue you
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: in that these folks are demon possessed?
• 31:33
  Speaker 12: Truman needs to go to a nurslon.
• 31:36
  Speaker 14: And what what Biden.
• 31:38
  Speaker 12: And the Democratic Party has done to this country? Let
• 31:42
  Speaker 12: these people in, it's craziness. It should be before a
• 31:47
  Speaker 12: fire school. I just got.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Well, Robert, if look, here's the deal.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: If anybody has committed treason and it is uh, and
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: they've got the evidence, I got no problem putting them
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: on trial and whatever the law says we gotta do,
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: we ought to do.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: But you've got to go through the court process for
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: something like that. Robert, thanks for the call. That sort
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: of escalated quickly. Did it not tell him just a
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: little bit?
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's what it is.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: Hey, it's update what are you gonna do. Let's go
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: to Ron in Salem, Oregon, listening to us on k
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: y K N RON. What's on your mind?
• 32:28
  Speaker 15: Oh man, you need to play chef because I'm gonna
• 32:30
  Speaker 15: tell you right now what my problem is. I'm watching
• 32:34
  Speaker 15: Michael Steele two point zero with the R and C chairman,
• 32:37
  Speaker 15: and I've been involved in the Republican Party for ten
• 32:40
  Speaker 15: years and I'm gonna tell you right now this top
• 32:44
  Speaker 15: down mentality. Oh, we're in the Phantisey seats. Everything's good
• 32:47
  Speaker 15: because we got an election and we're all in twelve
• 32:50
  Speaker 15: not cam the thirteenth when we lost a congressional jeet
• 32:53
  Speaker 15: down in Tarrece, Texas. Uh, it's wrong, it's it's it's
• 32:58
  Speaker 15: it's it's complacency. It's just like, what then, Frankle, save
• 33:02
  Speaker 15: you for sake, cure liberty for security. You deserve neither.
• 33:04
  Speaker 15: And they're just going along and just saying we need
• 33:08
  Speaker 15: we know what's best. Grassroots don't know much. And uh,
• 33:12
  Speaker 15: you know, if Lord Trump and Michael Watley who ran
• 33:15
  Speaker 15: R and C there was always proactive even before they
• 33:19
  Speaker 15: even took the seats and discuss things and try to
• 33:22
  Speaker 15: rally the base. The grassroots and trusted and listened. And
• 33:26
  Speaker 15: the point is when we when we're going as far
• 33:29
  Speaker 15: as when people have conversations. You think I'm gonna use
• 33:31
  Speaker 15: zoom with China, give an information to DSA, to the
• 33:35
  Speaker 15: Democrats and your enemies.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: No, Ron may ask you a question. Do you do
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: you hear music somewhere wrong?
• 33:43
  Speaker 13: Is that just me? Oh right, I'm telling you right now,
• 33:48
  Speaker 13: I'm ready to dance.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Oh I've gotten my soul on.
• 33:53
  Speaker 15: Oh yes, we bet to get the start free dancers
• 33:56
  Speaker 15: out right now.
• 34:00
  Speaker 13: They don't help me get maybe.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: Hey now, hey now shuts so man, shut o mouth right,
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: keep back going there. Telling you know, Ron, it's interesting
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: because when we're you know, you raise a great point.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: And I do wonder if these Republicans really do want
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: to win, and I'm I'm leaning towards a national conspiracy
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: where they're trying to sabotage Trump and they want to
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: shut down his agenda.
• 34:30
  Speaker 15: I exactly agree with you, because you're the point. They're
• 34:34
  Speaker 15: like the Pharisees in Jesus Christ. Time they allow us
• 34:37
  Speaker 15: sit in season a piece Jezebel, and they have the
• 34:40
  Speaker 15: Caesars and say they're doing something while they let the
• 34:43
  Speaker 15: people suffer and be deceived by the devil's intents.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: I think, Ron, what you're trying to say is that
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: the Republicans are given President Trump the shaft.
• 34:55
  Speaker 15: That's right, I'm sad to say, but we need Jesus
• 35:00
  Speaker 15: as said, we can get power.
• 35:02
  Speaker 13: We have the history, we have the Bible, and we
• 35:05

• 39:23
  Speaker 3: about or shouldn't talk about, but we're going to be
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: talking about them at SEAPAC tomorrow in Dallas. By the way,
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: our telephone number if you want to weigh in on
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: the conversation today nine oh one two six zero five
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: five nine two six. Well. Crime has been a big
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: issue across the nation. I think a number of George
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: Soros style district attorneys soft on crime, defending the criminals
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: and treating victims as if they're the bad guys. And
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: it has been mayhem in our country. As a matter
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: of fact, Memphis, Tennessee, the deadliest city in America, the
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: most isilent city in America, a city controlled for decades
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: by the politics and the policies of the Democrats. President
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: Trump was on this very radio program. I told him
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: about how bad things were. He promised he would look
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: into it, and a few months later National Guard boots
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: on the ground here in the Bluff City. Well, a
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: few days ago I was invited to visit with the
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: President backstage before his roundtable discussion of Memphis. We had
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: a wonderful conversation and for the President, you know, ultimately
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: everything sort of falls back to business. And when you've
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: got high crime, you've got bad business. It's not good
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: for business. And so a part of the roundtable, the
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: President invited one of the most prominent businessmen in Memphis
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: to be a part of the conversation. His name is
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: Tim Pugh, and he is the co owner of Pew's
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: Flowers and it's a wonderful flower shop and we utilize
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: them for all sorts of things and they do a
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: wonderful jo and Tim is joining us in studio in
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: Memphis today. Tim, good to see you. Nice to see
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: so congratulations. That must have been quite the experience being
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: up there on the podium with the President of the
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: United States.
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: It was amazing, first time I'd ever done anything like that.
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: I don't know how well I did, but it was
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: amazing to meet him and all the people on the
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: panel and backstage.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: So you had a chance to Did you have a
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: chance to talk to the president one on one?
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: Not a lot, most of the other people hung around
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: for a while. They had said before we met, my
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: wife actually said do you think i'll meet Trump? And
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: he said, well, he really wants to go to Graceland after,
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: so he may head out the back door after it's,
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: which he did. I briefly talked to him for a
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: minute or two. He told me, good job. I'm proud
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: of you. Just really nice guy.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: You know, the whole day it was just somewhat surreal.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: But to see you know, Memphis on display really for
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: the whole nation. I'm just curious that you you know,
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: the message that you brought for folks that maybe were
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: not watching it in real time. What was the message
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: that you brought to the president.
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: Well, they'd asked me, we have, of course our flower
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: business and our landscape business, and we've been affected by crime.
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: We've had van stolen. We'd go up to somebody's door
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: deliver flowers turn around and the van would be gone.
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: You know, it's ridiculous. We'd had We've had a truck
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: stolen at gunpoint from our landscape drivers. We've had to
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: make sure we lock equipment on a job site while
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: we're there. We've had to put cameras and electric fence
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: around our main store for all our landscape equipment and trucks.
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: So it's affected us. And I've been here all my life.
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: My parts are raised here. So we go way back
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: in Memphis, and so the crime is an issue for everyone.
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: I didn't want to go and get political, but if
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: if you know, if Biden had to send the task
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: force skin and invited me out a gone and so
• 42:59
  Speaker 5: I knew I'd get some backlash, but I went. I
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: was proud to do it, and I told them that
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: the crime is way down.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: Have you noticed that, I mean from you know, from
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: your employees, the folks that are out there, have they
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: noticed that there's been a drop in crime.
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: I've got a this is about about a month ago.
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: Some of the girls that worked the flower designers there
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: in their twenties. They came back on a Monday, and
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: I'm like, what are y'all talking? To me. I was
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: so excited. Ago we went to Bill Street last night.
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: She goes, it's the safest place we've ever been. Had
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: their pictures taken with the FBI, the National Guard, and
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: they said we felt so safe. We hadn't been in years.
• 43:37
  Speaker 5: So I mean, just things like that you hear all around.
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: We were having, as you probably know, carjackings almost on
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: a daily basis, where I wouldn't let my wife go
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: pump pump her own gas. And now I haven't heard
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: of one.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: You see people when they hear that, you know, they're like, no,
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: that can't be really in America. But that's that was
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: our way of life.
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: It was and it was everywhere, good parts of town,
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: parts of town, so you wanted to pump gas before
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: it got dark. And you always look at your surroundings
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: and it has really changed.
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: Oh here's one for you. When I had just moved
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: back from living in New York City for fifteen years,
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: moved back to Memphis, and I was at the traffic
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: light in front of the Ruth's Chris, which is a
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: really nice part of town, and the light turned to
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: the car in front of me did not move, so
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: I just did a little you know the love tap.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: As soon as I did, the gun comes out the
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: side of the car and the driver was, you know, fortunely.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: I guess he was in a good mood and didn't
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: shoot me. But you're like, jeez, a lou, you just
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: don't think about those kinds of things happening in an
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: American town.
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: Now, But it really happened in Memphis. I would tell
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: my wife. She gets off frustrated in traffic and will
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: hold her hands up and I'm like, Chris, do you
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: know that meat what that means? And so you cannot
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: do that. Just just be quiet and pay attention and
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: let him go in front of you whatever. Just be calm.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: That's it. I mean, you got to do what you
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: gotta do. But again, after a while, you almost I
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: think for the mom who was there, and she was
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: she told her story originally on the radio station KWAM,
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: our station here in Memphis, and then came on our
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: NEWSMAC show. And the idea that she could let her
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: kid play in the front yard and she could sit
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: on her front porch and drink iced tea. That really
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: moved a lot of people.
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: I think it did. I mean, that's the way we
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: grew up I went to a public school out in Raleigh,
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: Craigmunt High School, and we just didn't have the crime.
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: Then you just didn't think about it as probably. You know,
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: when we were kids, we left the house on a
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: summer morning and you came home for dinner, then you
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: left again to your curfew, and your parents had no
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: idea where you were, but they weren't too worried about you.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: That's right, that's right. Don't come back home till the
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: street lights come awise exactly.
• 45:47
  Speaker 5: Nowadays, you want to make sure your kid has her
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: cell phone and you're checking where they are at always.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: And I think the President did a great job of
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: conveying that this is Look, this is a universal problem
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: with it's not a black problem or a white problem
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: with and everybody problem and we all want the same
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: things for our kids. We don't want them to get
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: shot at going to a park like the portal of
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: seven year old boy that was robbed at gunpoint of
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: his ten dollars. You know, people should not have to
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: live like that.
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: No, they shouldn't. And you know, like even if you're
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: in school, we knew that the top ten kids that
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: made all the trouble you get rid of those top ten.
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: You've got to safe school. It's the same thing in
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: the city. They know the top five hundred criminals. You
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: get them off the streets and you don't have the
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: crime anymore.
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: Tim Pugh is joining us here in studio. He is
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: the co owner of Pew's Flowers, pug h Pew's Flowers,
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: And you guys do deliver nationally, right, we do. I'm
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: just going to tell you. Every Monday we get these
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: incredible flower arrangements sent to us here at the radios.
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: Just unbelievably gifted and talented the designers are that you
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: guys have.
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: Well, thank you. It's a family business we have. It's me,
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: my two brothers and our landscape company and flower shops.
• 46:59
  Speaker 5: My three children work in it. My niece works in
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: the business, so it's truly a family business.
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: So tell me you mentioned as a family business. And
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: you guys have been here for so very long. Tell
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: us about how the Pew's story started here.
• 47:14
  Speaker 5: Well, it's been fifty years this year. My father was
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: a banker in the mid seventies, got tired of bureaucracy
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: and politics and banking and quit one day and worked
• 47:27
  Speaker 5: at a flower shop in high school here in Memphis
• 47:29
  Speaker 5: and decided he would buy a small flower shop, and
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: so he did in the late seventies, and then about
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: seven eight years later, he suddenly got cancer and passed away.
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: So I was nineteen, my brother was older. We decided
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: to ask my mom and his partner if they would
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: take a note and let us buy it. So they did.
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: So it's me my two brothers. A few years later,
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: we needed to grow make more money. There's three us,
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: to know. So my younger brother started a landscape and
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: brought that in with us, and so it's grown a lot.
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: You know, And that's really what I want, you know,
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: the radio station to be k Ram, you know, I,
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: you know, moved back home, bought the news radio station,
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: and I really felt it was important for us to
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: have a local station, a locally owned radio station, so
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: we could talk about the issues that a lot of
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: other stations are not allowed to talk about by their
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: corporate overlords. And one of those was, in fact, crime.
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: And I think the I think our lawmakers understood when
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: people would be calling in to the radio shows or
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: going on our social media platforms, they realized, oh wait
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: a second, this is a lot worse off than we thought,
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: you know, than we thought it was.
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, if you really don't realize, if you're around the country,
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: in your own own little world, we would constantly tell
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: our children there's no need to go downtown on Friday night,
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: or don't you don't need to go downtown or Saturday night,
• 48:46
  Speaker 5: just stay out east or whatever, And so you worried
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: about them. Now it's it's really changed. You feel it's different.
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: You know the statistics crime is down way over forty
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: percent and fifty percent in some categories. But you also
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: you can feel it.
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: You can feel it, right, you can You're absolutely right,
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: you can feel it. It's I don't know the the
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: agen zs call it a vibe, you know, I mean
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: it's it's a great vibe. Did I use that correctly, Dylan?
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: Almost are we vibing?
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: It no, No, you got to help us, Temini. We're
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: kind of the same vibe es are the vibes?
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah? Okay, thanks. Got to learn from my children, they're
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: in their twenties.
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: I tell you, it's it's tough. It's tough, but thank
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: you for that, Dylan.
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: But it does now you don't worry about your kids
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: as much. You don't see the cars going around the
• 49:33
  Speaker 5: expressway at one hundred and ten miles an hour, almost
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: cutting you off. And you know, the highway patrol came
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: in a few months ago, very strong, and it's it's
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: it's all of everybody together, Memphis Police, Shelby County Police,
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: they're all working together, which which is making it work.
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: I was at Target about a month ago and in
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: the parking lot there was Memphis Police, UH, Shelby County Police, FBI,
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: National Guard. They're all in a group just talking, kind
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: of laughing, huddled up, hanging out, and You're like, God,
• 50:04
  Speaker 5: that's that's perfect. They're all getting doing the same thing.
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: That's what it's all about.
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: I know our good buddy Jim Olsapio, he owns rum
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: Boogie down on Beal Street and Dale's over in South Haven,
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: and there you walk into those restaurants or pubs or whatever,
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: you're gonna get a free meal if we're wearing a uniform,
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: you know. And I just love how the business community
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: has really embraced the National Guard and the Task Force,
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: but not just the business owners giving free food or
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: chiropractor work or whatever, but also the citizens, you know,
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: just saying thank you and one of the things that
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: really bothered me, and somebody sent me a note about
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: this yesterday. All the media coverage they did not mention
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: how many people in like for example, the minority communities
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: were out there saying welcome to Memphis, President Trump. They
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: didn't put those folks on the TV.
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: And I think, well, crime is not political only for politicians.
• 50:58
  Speaker 5: So I was at when walmart on Winchester in Hickory
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: Hill part of town last Sunday before last, and there
• 51:07
  Speaker 5: was National Guarden there and no matter what color you are,
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: everybody was happy to see him because they're like, oh,
• 51:12
  Speaker 5: probably not gonna be a crime and here today.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: Right. It's a great point now that being said, So
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: you're the you. The President invited you as a patriotic American.
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: You accepted the invitation and it was a wonderful event
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: and it really wasn't about politics. It was just about
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: fixing crime and you know, dealing with crime here. And
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: I understand you've actually been getting blowback for being on
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: that panel. Is that true?
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: I went on there because I love Memphis, my family
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: lives here, my new grand baby lives here. I want
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: it to be safe. So I knew anything you do
• 51:42
  Speaker 5: that has a Trump name on it, there's going to
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: be people that go crazy. So I knew it before
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: I went on, but I said it even if it
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: was Joe Biden and he brought a huge task force
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: to Memphis and made it safer, I would do the same.
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: So I thought, that's not going to be politically though
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: it's probably gonna be perceived that way. So I went
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: on and told them what I thought, that my family
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: lived here and it is safe for us. Said, I
• 52:04
  Speaker 5: get an email every Friday from the mayor. We all
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: do if you're subscribed to it, and he talks about
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: crime statistics. Last Friday he said it's well down over
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: forty and fifty percent. So that wasn't me saying that's
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: me the mayor saying it. And I can feel it,
• 52:18
  Speaker 5: and I said that, And so I didn't go as
• 52:20
  Speaker 5: political as excited to go, of course, and it was.
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: It was a lot of fun.
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: And you've gotten some blowback though, Oh.
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: I've gotten a lot.
• 52:27
  Speaker 15: Well.
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: I had to get off social media because I've been
• 52:30
  Speaker 5: getting a lot of blowback, which I knew I probably would.
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: My daughter, she's my big protector, so she's been going
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: on there. She finally had to get off to I said,
• 52:38
  Speaker 5: just let's just all get off and maybe it'll blow over.
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: Well, no, and it will, it will. And I think
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: the average folks say, you know here in Memphis, you know,
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: they love you guys, and they we all feel the
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: same way about the crime situation. And I know our
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: national audience as well. And like I said, folks, Pew's

  Speaker 3: as good as gold. And it really it really angered
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: me that you've got the leftist mob and the only
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: thing that he did was accept an invitation from the president.

  Speaker 3: And This is a just an incredible business owner. They

  Speaker 3: just tell you something. I'm not like a you know,
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: I'm not a visual flower kind of a guy. But
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: I know what looks good, right, you know, I'm not
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: one of these, you know, abstract artist guys. You know
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: where you got all this crap plastered on the wall

• 56:53
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome back everybody. It is the Tom Stearns
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: Radio Show. I want to go right away to the
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: Patriot Mobile newsmaker line and say hello to our good
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: friend Liz Peak. She is the proprietor of lizpeak dot
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: com and also one of my favorite writers in America. Liz,
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: hope you're doing well today.
• 57:11
  Speaker 16: I am, although I have to tell you I'm very
• 57:16
  Speaker 16: concerned about this Democrat upset in South Florida, which you know,
• 57:22
  Speaker 16: it's a local seat, it's a state seat in Florida,
• 57:26
  Speaker 16: but it is exactly the kind of outcome to that
• 57:31
  Speaker 16: people in Florida, people in Texas are panicked over these
• 57:35
  Speaker 16: states where you've had this huge influx of Democrats fleeing
• 57:40
  Speaker 16: the high taxes and unaffordable living in New York and
• 57:44
  Speaker 16: New Jersey and Illinois and California. They arrive in places
• 57:48
  Speaker 16: like Texas and Florida, and what do they do, Lifelong
• 57:50
  Speaker 16: Democrats They revert to form and they start voting Democrat.
• 57:54
  Speaker 16: I mean, it's really an unbelievably stupid, mindless thing to do.
• 57:59
  Speaker 16: But that's what's going on. And you know, I think
• 58:01
  Speaker 16: people are really concerned about it. I'm concerned about it.
• 58:05
  Speaker 16: Having bought a place in Florida, the last thing you
• 58:08
  Speaker 16: want is for everything to turn around and you know,
• 58:12
  Speaker 16: Florida start looking like New York. And I know this
• 58:14
  Speaker 16: is like, you know, only one indicator, but it's sort
• 58:18
  Speaker 16: of like the nose under the tent.
• 58:19
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: Well, look, we talked about this earlier in the show,
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: and we actually had a guy who lives in the
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: Okalla area who was from New York and he's a
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: good guy. He's a Republican and he maintained his Republican
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: status when he moved to Florida. But he said, this
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: is this is a big problem. And when you I
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: was looking at some of the data from last night, Liz,
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: and the issue was not Republicans not showing up. The
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: Republicans showed up in their regular numbers. But the problem was,
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: you know, there were just a lot more Democrats who voted. Now,
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: people tell me, Starns, we don't have anything to worry about. However, Liz,
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: according to the New York Times, more than two dozen
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: seats have flipped since the presidential election, and they've all
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: flipped in favor of the Democrats and not the other way.
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: What is going on here?
• 59:10
  Speaker 16: Well, you know, I think that it's one thing that
• 59:13
  Speaker 16: Trump on the ballot as we did last year in
• 59:17
  Speaker 16: twenty twenty four, I should say year and a half ago,
• 59:22
  Speaker 16: and he carried a great many candidates. I think that
• 59:26
  Speaker 16: is a fair statement. He was popular, and he campaigned
• 59:30
  Speaker 16: on popular issues. People were very concerned about the open
• 59:34
  Speaker 16: border of Joe Biden, concerned about law and order, and
• 59:39
  Speaker 16: so I think Trump was a very powerful positive element.
• 59:43
  Speaker 16: And now what the New York Times would say, and
• 59:45
  Speaker 16: I don't think you can totally dispute this. There is
• 59:47
  Speaker 16: such hatred for this president. Now, yes, his base is intact,
• 59:52
  Speaker 16: but the other side is like brainless. I mean, the
• 59:57
  Speaker 16: fury and anger and hatred being directed at Donald Trump
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 16: is actually something incredible to me. And when you see
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 16: people in the progressive left, people like Chris Murphy, who
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 16: is a really detestable senator from Connecticut, talking about how
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 16: ICE agents are going to go into the airports and
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 16: they're going to kill people. I think he literally said that,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 16: or you know, others sort of talking about how Iran
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 16: is the worst mistake we've ever made. This while our
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 16: men and women in uniform are over there trying to
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 16: win a war. You just have to sort of say,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 16: people are unbalanced on the other side, and there is
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 16: enormous amounts of misinformation, pure out and out lives about
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 16: the Trump administration, about what they're doing, et cetera, about Ice,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 16: and you know, so I think I think a lot
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 16: of people who don't really do their own homework and
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 16: don't really try to get to the bottom of all
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 16: these issues. They really hate Donald Trump and they're trying
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 16: to act that out or act out by voting against
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 16: a Republican that has any kind of endorsement. This guy,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 16: Maples in South Florida was endorsed by Donald Trump, and
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 16: I've seen as by him. He's a very attractive black businessman.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 16: I have no idea why he lost, and you, I think,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 16: have done more research. I am just beginning to read it.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 16: But it's pretty discouraging.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: It is discouraging, and you know, again, I just think
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: these are wake up calls when you look at what happened,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: look at what happened in Virginia and the elections, and
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: I think there the Republicans seem to be there seems
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: to be a bit of a groundswell now to stop
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: the redestraating effort. But that is going to be it's
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 3: going to be problematic for us in the midterms. And again,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: I'm with you. I do think this hatred of Donald Trump,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: But Liz, I'm also wondering about you know, these and
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: I wanted to do the name calling, but the social
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: media influencers and the podcasters. Do you think that's causing
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: riffs in the America First movement, the conservative movement?
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 16: You know, I tend to discount that, and perhaps at
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 16: my peril because I find these people and I will
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 16: name them, Tucker Carlson and the others who are Candae
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 16: Owens and so forth, who are so loud and so
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 16: strident in there. Now you know, they're sort of anger
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 16: at Donald Trump for engaging with Iran, for trying to
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 16: suppress forty seven years of terror in the Middle East.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 16: But they seem like wing nuts to me, and I
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 16: really can't I would love to think that conservatives generally
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 16: are too smart to think that Israel is the master
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 16: puppet pulling the strings. Has anyone ever tried to pull
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 16: Donald Trump by the nose to do anything? Nobody, I mean,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 16: the biggest complaint about Donald Trump in his inner circle
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 16: is that no one can convince him to do anything.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 16: He will to do what he wants to do. So
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 16: the idea that bb Net and Yahoo is behind are
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 16: getting into a war in the Middle East, I think
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 16: it's crazy. I actually think these people are slightly lunatic,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 16: and they are driven todd by the fact that they
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 16: have to create their own revenues, they have to create
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 16: their own presence, and the more and you and I
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 16: both know, the more outrageous you are, the bigger footprint
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 16: you have these days. And sadly that's true on the
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 16: right as well as on the left. And I refuse
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 16: to go there. I think you refuse to go there.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 16: It's just too offensive to bend your convictions and the
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 16: truth to get a few more clicks. And I think
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 16: that's what they're doing.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: Liz One thousand percent. I am in such agreement with
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: you on this, and you're right, it's for many of them,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: it's about the almighty dollar. When you're and we use
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: the example, it's like, okay, let's just say for your
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: entire career, you've been pro life in pro Israel, and
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: then one day you announce I'm pro choice and I'm
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: you know, anti Israel, and all of a sudden, you're
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 3: driving around in a you know, a Rolls Royce and
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: you're buying beepside property you're running Wait a second, was
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: this some sort of a genuine ideological shift or are
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: you being paid to change your opinion? And you know,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: you hate to think that, but the reality is they're
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: calling people like Mark Levin. I mean, just think about this,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: Mark Levin, President Trump, Mike Huckabee, Franklin Graham. Now are
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: I guess enemies of the state. According to a lot
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: of these podcasters and influencers.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 16: It's absurd, it's absurd, it's hateful, and it's totally divisive,
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 16: as you said, But again, I just hope that there
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 16: are enough people with common sense again, who do their
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 16: own homework and kind of come to their own realizations.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 16: For me, probably The greatest outrage is that they've turned
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 16: on Winston Churchill. Oh my god. Anybody who has read
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 16: anything about the history of World War Two revers Winston Churchill.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 16: He was a full, courageous leader at a time when
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 16: otherwise England, frankly would have been gone. I mean, you
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 16: know there was they needed someone to stand up and
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 16: lead that country in a perilous time. I'll tell you
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 16: what I think, Donald Trump is that person here in
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 16: our country today. And you know I cannot explain to
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 16: you anyway. The answer is I relegate them, in my head,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 16: to a fringe, nonsensical group. I could be wrong. It
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 16: could be that they are hurting him, but when you
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 16: look at the polling todd it doesn't really seem that way.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 16: It seems like most of the people who voted for
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 16: Donald Trump are still pretty much.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 12: On his team.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. And again, there's a lot to
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: wash out between now and an election day, and you know,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: we'll see how all this plays out. But I think
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: alarm bell should be sounding. I've been really, really disappointed
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: in the r NC. I just don't see them being
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: effective anywhere right now. And I don't know what that's
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: all about, but they've got to get it together.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 16: Yeah, I agree with you. And it's not like they
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 16: don't have money. They do, and I don't know whether
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 16: they're spending it in the wrong places. I don't know.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 16: I mean in New York, where I live, you can't
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 16: really read much from that, because the New York Republican
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 16: Party is sclerotic at best, that's the best description I
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 16: can give it, and not very aggressive. But elsewhere, for example,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 16: in this little special election in Florida, I also think
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 16: Todd in a place like this, my guess is in
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 16: a place like South Florida, there's a certain complacency. I mean,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 16: this area has been pretty much Republican dominated, Republican successful
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 16: for so long. Maybe they're just not I'm guessing they
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 16: just didn't think it was a big challenge, and so
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 16: the RNC may not have gotten involved here, I don't know.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: Just to show you how crazy people are. Just before
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: you came on, of course, the President was in Memphis
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: to do the big round table and got a chance
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: to be with the President and the Attorney General, and
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: people here are just so excited and delighted. And they
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: invited a local business owner. His name is Timpeugh. They
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: own a flower shop here, very successful flower shop, and
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: he was just explaining he was invited on the panel
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: as a businessman to say, yeah, you know, we've had
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: to like lock down our flowers. You know, our flower
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: trucks have been stolen during deliveries. It's insane. Do you
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: realize the flower shop is now coming under attack because
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: he dared accept the President's invitation. It's insane.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 16: I'll have sad. It's a little bit like the hockey
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 16: team men's hockey team getting blasted by so many people
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 16: for going to the Oval Office, going to the White
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 16: House to meet President Trump. If you were a young
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 16: person and you had just achieved a marvelous victory in
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 16: the Olympics and represented our country, don't you think you
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 16: deserve to go to the White House if you want to,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 16: and if you're invited. I mean, honestly, really, again, the
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 16: level of hatred that I see out there for President
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 16: Trump is I've never seen anything like it focused on
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 16: one person. Interestingly, I talked to some people who had
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 16: dinner at mar A Lago the other night he was there,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 16: and they said he was in a great mood. You know,
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 16: he was clearly enjoying himself I don't think. I mean,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 16: the amazing thing is it isn't getting to him, Todd,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 16: How can it not get to him? He is so
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 16: sure that what he's doing is the best thing he
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 16: can be doing for our country that I think all
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 16: these attacks from the left are just fort of bouncing
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 16: off him like ping pong balls. He just doesn't care.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 16: And good for him because it isn't. He isn't cowering
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 16: in his corner. He's not Chuck Schumer scared the death
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 16: of AOC primary him. Trump knows he's got to do
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 16: what he's got to do. He only has two more
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 16: years left or two and a half, and so he's
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 16: going to do what he thinks is right. And boy,
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 16: that's a great.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 11: Place to be, it really is.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: And let me tell you something. He was in a
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: great mood in Memphis and he was so excited. He
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 3: got a private tour of Graceland and the man was
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: in hog heaven. I mean, it's h he's living his
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 3: best life.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 11: So good for him.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 16: He deserves it. After all they've thrown at him, all
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 16: the nastiness and the bilification, and you know, two attempts
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 16: on his life, et cetera. I gotta tell you if
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 16: he wants to go to Graceland and have a good time,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 16: he sure deserves that.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: And Liz Peak, there's no excuse. The president has visited
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 3: the jungle room. Now we need to get Liz Peak.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 16: I will do that one of these days. I would
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 16: love to.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 3: We're gonna make it happen. We're going to make it happen,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: all right, Liz, great, great analysis. As always, lizpeak dot Com.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: Have a great one, Liz.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 16: You too, take care all right.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: Great lady right there, could you imagine Liz Peak doing
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 3: like karaoke like Hunk of Burning Love or something like that, Dylan,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: I guarantee you she's got a good singing voice.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 5: She seems like she would like a secret talent.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 3: Right. No, I'm telling you we've got to get we
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: need to have like we need to have like a
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: family radio show reunion. Yes, bring every all the listeners,
• 1:10:06

• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: And we could like do the whole radio show. We
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: could have Liz and Mary Walter and Steve Gill all
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: those folks like on stage together.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: And we have to sing karaoke obviously.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, definitely. Maybe we do the whole thing at Gracely.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 3: You know they've got a great hotel over there. We
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 3: could just do the whole thing over there.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: Sounds like a great time.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: By the way, Jeff Stein says Todd. We're celebrating National
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 3: Ag Day Farmer Appreciation luncheon. And all I can tell
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: you is they eat well in Iowa. Oh, I got
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: the pork there. Corn bread looks like something corn pudding.

• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: scandal at a school out in Washington State, an anti
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: Trump art teacher. By the way, speaking of Newsmas, they've
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: got a wonderful deal free of charge for all of
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: our listeners. There's a new study out that shows seventy
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: percent of Americans don't get the full benefits they need
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: or they deserve from Social Security. But we have discovered
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 3: fine key strategies to increase your benefits by as much
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 3: as one hundred and eighty eight thousand dollars over a lifetime.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 3: It's all in a free special report courtesy of Newsmax.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 3: Give them a call. You can get it free. Eight
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 3: hundred nine ninety six ninety. That's eight hundred ninety six ninety.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: That's call now eight hundred nine nine nine ninety six ninety.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 3: Text and data rates may apply. Let's go to North Carolina.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 3: Charles is on the line, Hind Charles, what's going on?
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 14: Hey, Tid, I was just listening to the conversation you
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 14: were having with Liz Peek and just wanted to weigh
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 14: in on that. I'm concerned about what happened in Florida
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 14: at the state level as well. But godd, I think
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 14: what's going on there is all an indicator of just
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 14: a lack of enthusiasm among Republican voters because of they're
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 14: the Republican's lack of getting anything done at the national level.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 14: I think that people are just getting weary and they're
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 14: getting they're getting ticked off. And case in point is
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 14: this Save Act.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: God.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 14: I mean, you've got eighty percent of the country in
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 14: supermajorities of Democrats, Republicans and Independence to want this thing passed,
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 14: and yet it's not passed. And I don't understand. You
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 14: spoke with President Trump last week and maybe you guys
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 14: talked about this. If so, I'd like to hear about it.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 14: But I think that the President needs to do like
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 14: an address to the nation to give it more of
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 14: a sense of urgency, and he needs to explain to
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 14: the American people what the Save Act is and why
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 14: we need to pass the given everything that happened in
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 14: twenty sixteen, twenty twenty, the fifteen million I legal aliens, assassinations, attempt,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 14: all of this stuff, he needs to go before the nation,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 14: lay it out and just demand that this Act is
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 14: going to pass. And he's going to invoke Article two,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 14: Section three of the Constitution, which is an emergency legislative
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 14: session of Congress. He can do both houses or just one,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 14: but emergency session of the Senate and tell John Thune
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 14: that the Senators are not leaving Washington, d C. Until
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 14: they pass the Sayback. That can be one week, it
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 14: can be seven months. But they're staying there and they're
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 14: doing their jobs. We haven't come this far to risk
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 14: losing at all by allowing a bunch of illegal aliens
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 14: to influence the twenty six and plenty eight election. It's
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 14: just that important.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: Well, it is important, and we're Charles. I'm going to
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 3: talk more about this coming up in just a few
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: moments at the top of the next hour. I have
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 3: a lot to say about that. And the big concern
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 3: now is Senators going into recess, possibly without voting on
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: the Save Act. If that happens, we're going to have
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 3: major problems in the midterms. Charles, it's a great thought.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 3: Hang tide. Everybody got to take a break. Nine oh
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: one two six zero five, nine two six is our number.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 3: We'll be right back, everybody. You're gonna stick around and
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 3: hear what I've got to say.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 11: That's us, that's American.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: Starts.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 3: All right, well, hello, I just want to give you
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: an update here. Chucky Schumer has has decided it's his
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 3: way or the highway. He says there will be no compromise,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 3: that Republicans must capitulate to every single one of their
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: demands when it comes to reopening Homeland security, Ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 3: At some point, at some point, we're either going to
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 3: have to determine that the Democrats are in control of
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: Washington or we're going to have to light a fire
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 3: under these Republicans. But Chuck Schumer is doubling down now
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 3: and saying they will not be they will not be
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: making a deal with Republicans. They say Republicans have to
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: capitulate on everything. All right, Wow, we'll keep you updated.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 3: But that's what's going on. By the way, I may
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 3: I just say something here about about Florida and the
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 3: fact that the Florida Republicans just lost two House seats
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 3: last night. President Trump Mara a Lago now being represented
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 3: by a Democrat. One of the reasons why is that
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 3: there's a sense of complacency. And you heard is talking
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: about this. Do you realize that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 3: did not put out any messages yesterday urging people to
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 3: get out and vote, urging Republicans to get out and vote. Now,
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 3: I'm just telling you, I am seeing this at the
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 3: local level. I'm seeing this kind of attitude at the
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: state level and now at the national level, where these
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: Republicans think that you guys owe them something, that the
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: Republicans don't have to work for anything. And I've seen
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 3: this sort of this holier than now attitude coming from
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: a lot of these Republicans and a lot of them.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 3: And I told the story yesterday of one Republican leader
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 3: and they wanted to do something nice for the donors,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: for the big dollar donors. So they bought these little
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 3: white House Christmas ornaments and they put them in wrapping
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: paper with Donald Trump's face on it. And they said, no, no, no, no, no,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 3: we can't do that. We're moving on, We're moving on
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: from Trump. So there's a lot of that going on here.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 3: You know what, Donald J. Trump is still your president,
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 3: ladies and gulmen, and I don't know who in the
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 3: Republican Party needs to hear that. But Donald J. Trump
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 3: is still your president. And the fact that we're not
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: knocking down doors for every single election, that is incredibly
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 3: disturbing to me. As a matter of fact, most people
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 3: in Florida didn't even realize on the Republican side of
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 3: the aisle, they didn't even realize there was an election yesterday.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: So it's time to have a swift kick in the
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 3: pants when it comes to the Republicans, because they are
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: heading us. They're heading towards a cliff. I want to
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 3: read to you what generated a lot of controversy, a
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 3: lot of buzz on X yesterday late last night. Here's
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: what I posted. And again I try to you know,
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 3: I speak more bluntly to you, this great radio audience
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 3: because I know you guys know where I'm coming from,
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 3: and you kind of hear the tone and the tenor
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 3: of my words, and you know, what's all coming from
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 3: a good spot. I don't really begrudge anybody. I don't
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: hate anybody. I just I want the Republicans to do
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 3: good because it's just too dangerous. The unthinkable is just unthinkable,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 3: which is why it's unthinkable. Think about it, that makes sense.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: This is what I wrote. Senate Republicans never had any
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 3: intention of passing the Save America Act. It's kabuki theater,
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 3: by the way, that's what's going. It's kabuki theater. Pardon me,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 3: let me continue, and there will likely not be any
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: other votes of consequence between now and the midterms. It's it,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 3: that's it. What we have done is done. Make no mistake.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 3: John Thune and his leadership team have betrayed the American
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 3: people and their president and they don't care. They don't care,
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 3: not one bit. They sabotage the president's agenda from day one.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 3: Their behavior may likely cost Republicans the House and the Senate,
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 3: and they deserve to lose. However, you knew there was
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 3: a however coming. However, President Trump does not deserve to
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 3: be impeached, and that's exactly what would happen if the
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 3: Democrats regain control. So we can't let that happen. For
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump's sake. Let's spare President Trump and the First
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 3: Lady the agony of endless investigations and trumped up charges.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 3: I say this, re elect the gutlass gutter snipes. We
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 3: can deal with the jack assery of John Thune and
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 3: his cowardly band of traders in twenty twenty eight. Our
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 3: president deserved better, and so did America First voters, but
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 3: we got screwed by the Republicans and that has generated thousands,
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 3: ten of thousands of comments and reactions on social media.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 3: Did I get it right? Ladies and gentlemen, Nine oh
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 3: one two six zero five to nine two six is
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 3: our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 3: five to nine two six. That was one of the
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 3: conversations I had with Pete Sessions, great congressman out of Texas,
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 3: and he's frustrated. I think a lot of people in
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 3: the House, and by the way, the House has been
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 3: doing their job. It's the Senate that's holding all of
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 3: this up. I want you to take a listen to
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 3: Congressman Sessions. All right, joining me now, Congressman Pete Sessions
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: from Texas. All right, you heard the president there, Congressman,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 3: he previously said, by the way, there would be no
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: deal on homeland security unless the Save America Act was passed.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: What do you make of all of this, Well, it's
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 3: a problem.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 17: The problem is that happen when you look at the
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 17: long lines that are at airports across the country at
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 17: a very difficult time it's called spring break, when the
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 17: commerce of this country is already reeling with a little
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 17: bit of indecision around world affairs. So I think that
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 17: what our Senate colleagues are attempting to do is to
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 17: fund DHS minus ICE, as I understand it. Does that
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 17: make sense, well, I think funding the airport operations, funding
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 17: the things that need to take place. You know, there
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 17: was a huge storm in Hawaii over the weekend. And
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 17: while I still held, at least as of this morning,
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 17: the belief that I would hold the position I was in,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 17: but know that two senators from from Hawaii would be
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 17: in trouble. I'm willing to listen.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 3: Congressman, I just don't get this. You know, we've been
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 3: down this path so many times. We're Senate Republicans hold
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 3: the majority and they always give it up. There really
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 3: is no compromise here. It's always really capitulating to what
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 3: the Democrats want. Christy Nomes already out. Democrats were pretty
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 3: adamant about that. Seems to me that's the compromise. So
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 3: let's get this thing done, and let's go ahead and
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 3: fund everybody. But if the Republicans capitulate on this, Congressman,
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 3: I don't see that this is going to be a
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 3: win for our side of the aisle.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 17: Well, you know, I want to completely agree with you,
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 17: as I told you, I have not gone that direction yet.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 17: But for me to say that I do not want
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 17: to listen to what the idea might be would be foolish.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: The bottom line is is.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 17: That I feel like that the two senators from Hawaii,
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 17: after the eighteen inch train and the billion dollar damage,
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 17: they need FEMA.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 9: They need FEMA.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 17: Operating, and it just I don't know what the trigger
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 17: point would be where we would ever gain the upper hand.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 17: And the ICE operations are vitally important to this nation.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 17: They're vitally important to rule of law. They're vitally important
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 17: to the things that we as Republicans agreed that we
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 17: would do. To back away from that once again is
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 17: not something that I'm for. But you ask me about this,
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 17: and I think I would. It would not be a
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 17: Peat Sessions like thing to say I'm not willing to
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 17: at least listen to what some of my colleagues from
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 17: the Senate.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: But no, look, I don't have to agree with them. Yeah,
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: and that's fair enough.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, I get that, And look, I can respect
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 3: that position, and there's nothing wrong with listening House Freedom
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 3: and Caucus. They're responding to all of this. The new
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 3: plan to pass the Save America Act. Guys, if we
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 3: can get that up on the screen please, Here's what
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 3: they had to say. It may not even be possible
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 3: out of the Senate's arcane rules and would allow Democrats
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 3: to offer unless limited amendments on the bill. This is gaslighting.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 3: The American people are not stupid and will not accept
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 3: more failure theater from Republicans. And I have to imagine
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 3: there the House Freedom cock is referring to whatever is
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 3: happening with the Save America Act, which I've already prepared
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 3: my radio audience for.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's going to get out of the Senate.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 17: Well, you know what, it may or may not get
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 17: out of the Senate. But we are for the bill
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 17: and should take it as far as we can and
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 17: highlight those that are not. And I think finding a
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 17: side door, a back door, or a trapdoor out of
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 17: this issue is It's not something that I would be for,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 17: but I'm willing to listen and I think that we
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 17: will hear volumes about it.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome back. Let's go right to the phone lines, Gainesville, Georgia.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 3: Wdun Alan is with us. Hi Allen, what's on your mind?
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 9: H Todd?
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 18: And thanks for letting us have a voice with you.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 10: Yes, sir, Yeah, I wanted to ask you if you
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 10: would talk a little bit about the hierarchy as the
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 10: Senate and the Congress used to select their leaders.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 18: I've looked at things for the last several years. I
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 18: watched Jim Jordan, you know, be passed over and somebody
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 18: you know from California gets in and does nothing. Dead
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 18: Cruise in the Senate, who's been a leader for years
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 18: and years in the Republican Conservative Caucus, he gets passed over,
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 18: and somebody like Dune gets put in any sense on
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 18: his hands. How does that work that these people have
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 18: the power to get in there when we know they're
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 18: not the real outstanding conservatives.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna do my best to answer that question
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 3: for you, allan, and it's a great question. First and foremost,
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 3: John Thuon is all about the money, and this guy
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 3: has been able to raise a lot of money for
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 3: a lot of these Republican senators and ultimately that Trump's
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 3: any loyalty that you know, the senators might have for
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 3: their home states, you know, so they are no longer
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 3: beholden at that point to the voters and say, you
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 3: know a Georgia for example, or wherever else. Well, you
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 3: guys have two Democrats. But let's say we'll say North Carolina.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 3: They're not beholden to you good people in North Carolina. No, no, no, no,
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 3: they're actually beholden to John Thune. So you have to
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 3: go back, and a lot of this is done in secret, Allen,
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 3: So it was a secret vote Mitch McConnell's stepping down.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 3: John Thune was the longtime whip, and there was a
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 3: secret ballot thun, John Cornyn and Rick Scott. Of course,
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 3: many Conservatives wanted to go with Rick Scott, and it
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 3: turned out that John Thune actually won that secret ballot.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 3: So really it's a continuation of the policies of Mitch McConnell,
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 3: is what we're looking at here.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 18: Wow, that's just terrible. You know, we should we should
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 18: move with what's happening with the presidency. I mean, that
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 18: ought to be a focus when we go out and
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 18: have a national election, and we want to change in
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 18: this country. We should change leadership to that direction of
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 18: where we're headed, especially people in the public certin side
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 18: the Democrats all seem to agree on everything. We have differences,
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 18: and we have people in the presidency who can't get
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 18: support by our own senators and congressmen. And that's where
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 18: we need our leadership to be following who we elect
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 18: to lead this nation.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 3: Isn't that amazing? Alan that right now the biggest opposition
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 3: to Donald Trump is coming from members of his own
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 3: political party. Yes, yeah, that's it's it's disgusting and it
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 3: is something that we are going to have to address
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 3: with our elected senators. I mean, that's that's going to
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 3: be the big challenge here. Alan, appreciate the call. Thank
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 3: you for that. Well, time now for the mail bag.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 3: We actually have some nice male you know, normally it's
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 3: not all that not all that nice, I'm gonna tell
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 3: you sometimes people can be unkind Dyla night. I know
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 3: that seems to be a shock to you.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 5: It is a surprising that you could be mean to.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 3: Well, here's one from Memphis, Tennessee. Dere Todd. You're a
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 3: whitey jackass.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: That's not nice.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 3: Here's another from Chris. Why you why you be blanking
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 3: lying with multiple emojis after? That's not very kind. Oh
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 3: here's the nice one. I was scrolling down. I was
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 3: trying to find it or scroll a long time. We're
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 3: getting a lot of hate mail these days, a lot
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 3: of hate mail. This is from North Carolina. Hello Todd.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 3: I've been thinking a long time about the Save America Act.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 3: I called my Senator Ted Bund and told him they
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 3: need to pass the Save Act. But all you hear
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 3: is we don't have the votes to pass it. Look
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 3: at Tom tell Us. We had Tom Or a Democrat.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 3: They know you won't vote Democrat, so he voted again
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 3: some people in North Carolina and did not care. Thank God,
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 3: he will be gone soon enough. I think one way
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 3: to wake up all these Republican lawmakers. If all the
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 3: registered Republicans changed their voter registration to unaffiliated, Democrats will
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 3: think the MAGA movement's over. Republicans will have to work
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 3: to ensure we will vote for them. Tom, your show
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 3: has millions and millions of people listening. Just think if
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 3: one million people change their status, the Ring the Rhinos
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 3: would have to pay attention. Thank you, love your show
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 3: you replace the empty space in my heart after Rush
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 3: left this earth. Oh that make a nice bumper.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: Stickers for long numbers.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 3: Sign sorry, put them on an sub.
• 1:31:26

• 1:34:36
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty good. You know Trump was in town.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 19: I was about to say that I actually saw the President,
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 19: not not directly, but my plan was flying into Memphis
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 19: are National on Monday, and I saw him just taking
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 19: off as we were taking pulling ends.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 3: That's something you don't see every day.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 20: Every day, not at all.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 19: Did you see the picture of the beast in front
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 19: of Graceland.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 3: That looked pretty sweet?
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 19: It was pretty cool.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 20: Yeah, you know, I've lived here my whole life. Never
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 20: step foot in Graceland, Is that right?
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 3: That's right? What is wrong with you? Why is? It's
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 3: kind of like people in New York City they never
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 3: go to the Stantue of Liberty.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 11: You know.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 20: It's just one of those things that just kind of
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 20: out of sight, out of mine. My wife and I
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 20: obviously had a different walk of life with a one
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 20: year old. So we're going to places like the zoo
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 20: and the children's museum, We're not going to Graceland.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 3: So I love that.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 19: I love the part where Trump walked in the door
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 19: and they said, welcome, mister President to the second most
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 19: visited house in the country. Believe or not, your house
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 19: is number one.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 3: So it's true, the White House number one and number
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 3: two is a Gracelan.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 19: It's just fitting, you know, just to have that in Memphis,
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 19: you know.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 2: It really is.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 3: It was a funny.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 12: You know.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 3: I hate that he didn't get down to Beale Street,
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 3: you know, but that would have been getting me out
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 3: to a rum boogie or something like that.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 20: You'd probably need more Secret Service help going down to
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 20: Bill just a smidge.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 19: Hey, so's with the president that would be fine.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 3: Is that the one with the goats, Yeah, that's right,
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 3: the diving goats.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 19: Yep, yeah, diving goats. That and the what is it
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 19: the Blarney stone the barn they have a stone from
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 19: a castle in Ireland, Scotland.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 5: Or something like that.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 19: Wow, and you kiss it for good luck. So should
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 19: I say that to somebody who's heard about that. I've
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 19: not done it myself personally.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 3: We are gonna be taking questions from callers day. If
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 3: any of you guys have a financial question, they're gonna
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 3: be able to call in, and you guys are gonna,
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 3: you know, give them some good guidance. We'll do our bess.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 19: Well, you know, you have a lot of people out
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 19: there in the lot of seasons of life todd that
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 19: are you know, they probably have probably not some specific
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 19: things that they're thinking about, are worrying about that they'd
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 19: like to get answered, And whether Adam and I come
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 19: on here or not with a specific topic, we want
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 19: to make sure those are addressed and we're taking care
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 19: of people's needs.
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 3: Well, I think that's it's it's a great service that
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 3: you guys provide, and I want to give that number
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 3: out nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 3: I want to start with some audio. This is a
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 3: kindergarten teacher in Texas and she's having a very difficult time.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 3: She has generated widespread discussion on social media. She revealed
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 3: that she's home seventy five hundred dollars a month as
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 3: a kindergarten teacher and it's just not it's not covering
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 3: all of her bills.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 20: Well, I would like to know what part of the
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 20: country a kindergarten teacher gets seventy five hundred dollars a month.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what ninety thousand here? Yeah, that's pretty good, moddy.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 3: So let's take a listen how much.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 21: My paycheck is as a Texas teacher of kindergarten and
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 21: what I do with it. So my direct deposit hit
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 21: today it was seven thousand, five hundred dollars and eighty
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 21: one cents. I did pay the rent at our condo
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 21: because I am responsible for that. That was three thousand,
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 21: five hundred and eighty one dollars some change. I'm just
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 21: going to round everything up here. My utilities for the
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 21: month at a condo were twelve hundred dollars my gym
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 21: membership it's two hundred and fifty one dollars a month.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 21: I had groceries delivered this month twice, for a total
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 21: of five hundred and forty eight dollars.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 7: I did not have.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 21: Enough money this month to move inthroto savings. The payment
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 21: on my g wagon is one thousand, five hundred and
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 21: forty eight dollars. I didn't do anything for my kids
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 21: this month because it was a tight month. As you know,
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 21: teachers do not make a lot.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 21: I did get my hair done twice and my nails,
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 21: totaling five hundred dollars. I didn't get gas this month.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 21: That was my husband's bill. After I add everything up,
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 21: it was a grand total of negative one hundred and
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 21: twenty four dollars, and that I'll borrow from my friend.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 19: I love being a teacher.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 3: Job she's not a math teacher.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 19: Oh so some thoughts.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 20: Well, this is as simple as it gets. We always
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 20: talk about priorities, what do you prioritize? And what I
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 20: gathered in that is that family and children and getting
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 20: ahead in life is not much of a priority as
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 20: it is to a status of thirty three thousand, dollars
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 20: plus in rent, not even owning your home and a
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 20: g wagon. Is that necessary for your lifestyle?
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 19: You know, yeah, that's that's an interesting bit there, because
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 19: you see the temptation has todd to get the shiny thing, right,
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 19: it's to get the toys. Well, that's all wrong. Good,
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 19: but guess what. Guess what toys don't do. Toys do
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 19: not appreciate, in fact, they very much depreciate, very quickly
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 19: in fact. So that's that's very interesting. And I understand,
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 19: you know, we are very sympathetic to teachers. Thank you
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 19: for your service out there if you're a teacher, because
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 19: that is a very difficult job and you're you're right
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 19: on the money there. Teachers do not get paid enough.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 19: But seventy five hundred dollars a month. There's definitely some
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 19: expenses there that are again less of less of needs,
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 19: and more of status, more of once and more of
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 19: just trying to fulfill that status. So that's disappointing to
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 19: hear that was the case because how many people across
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 19: the country are in that situation.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 3: You know, it's a great point and especially and I
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 3: don't want to you know, target generations here, but gen
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 3: Z and millennials especially, they are living well beyond their means,
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 3: and you know, they're spending their money on a lot
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 3: of things that I would say other generations would consider frivolous.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, for example, going to Starbuck every day dropping
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 3: five six dollars you know, on coffee that you could,
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 3: you know, make much cheaper at home. And then this
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 3: whole thing called something called avocado toast. I never never
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 3: understood that.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 20: Well, you know, I think we live in a world
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 20: of social status. Maybe social media is to blame for that,
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 20: but you know, what I would tell a lot of
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 20: people is separate your own situation from somebody else's and
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 20: think about, Okay, what's causing a pain point in my life.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 20: Obviously this was a big stress for her. She wanted
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 20: to put it out there that hey, I make seventy
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 20: five hundred, but I don't have nothing to show for it.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 3: And what we would.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 20: Say in that meeting is just, okay, can we reprioritize
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 20: what you're wanting to use your money to do for
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 20: you and put less emphasis on keeping up with the
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 20: Joneses and more emphasis on how do I get ahead?
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 20: And we would be in a better position.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 19: Yeah, we tell people a lot to they really need
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 19: to suspend their own disbelief and what does that mean?
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 19: That means, hey, look, take a good look in the
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 19: mirror and say, okay, is this really necessary for me
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 19: to have right now versus like in terms of the
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 19: tangible items in life, versus taking care of my kids
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 19: and putting things away for retirement and putting things in
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 19: savings for a rainy day when the storm comes. And
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 19: guess what the storm will come at some point where
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 19: you will need that.
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 5: Uh. You know, another question that.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 19: We probably ask is guess what where where is the
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 19: husband and all this?
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 19: Do income household that being able to partner that and
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 19: you know, figure out a game plan. Those go hand
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 19: in hand with each other.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 3: You know, I was wondering about that because you didn't
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 3: mention she's got the husband there and so okay, do
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 3: they have is that a joint account or do they
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 3: have their own separate accounts? And you know they you know,
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 3: have you, hey, guys ever experienced that where you know,
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 3: married couples come in and say, okay, how do we
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 3: do this?
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 5: We do it?
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 20: I did with that a lot. Actually, you know, where
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 20: I want the husband and wife to be on the
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 20: same team because it creates less friction and it's an
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 20: easier path going forward if everybody's on the same page.
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 20: But yeah, we deal with it a lot where it's like, hey,
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 20: this is my money. It's our agreement in our marriage
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 20: that what I bring to the table, that's what I
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 20: get to use to spend, and how they want to
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 20: allocate it towards retirement or investments or whatever, that's their
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 20: decision to make. We don't do these things jointly. So
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 20: it's very common. And obviously in that little radio clip
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 20: she said that the gas was her husband's bill, So
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 20: I'd imagine that they do their finances that way.
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 19: You know, we encounter quite a few couples actually where
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 19: I'm thinking too specifically. They came in in day one.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 19: They looked at us and said, you know, we give
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 19: each other an allowance, which I thought was hysterical because
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 19: you're like, well, it's y'all's money, so who makes that decision.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 19: It's like, well, it's a way for each other to
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 19: hold ourselves accountable, because how often are we tempted We
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 19: go down the road and we see the in and
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 19: out Burger sign light up, or the Waterburger signlight up
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 19: or the Starbucks and we go, oh, that's something I need. Well,
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 19: not necessarily. If you are operating off of an allowance
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 19: and a budget strictly, and that way, it's keeping it
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 19: separate from the household expenses and everything like that, you're
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 19: able to poortize what actually matters right now versus the once.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 3: And that's the thing is understanding what you know again
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 3: when you all, I grew up in the seventies and eighties,
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 3: and you know, we lived in a relatively small home.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 3: I mean it would be teeny tiny compared to today's statuses.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 3: So you wonder, even today are people living well, you know,
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 3: beyond their means? And you know what, when how do
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 3: we get back to going back to those days of
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 3: being frugal?
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 20: Well, I think it's really when when they have that
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 20: aha moment. I mean we always say, like we can
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 20: lead a horse to water, but we can't make it drink.
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 20: And part of what we do is financial advisors, is
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 20: we have to be those life coaches. We have to
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 20: be the ones that present the difficult conversations to them
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 20: and force them to talk about it because I'd imagine this,
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 20: you know today, her lifestyle is is keeping up with
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 20: the Joneses and having a status that she wants to
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 20: project out to everybody. But maybe when she's older and
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 20: all those things don't matter anymore, she may have an
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 20: epiphany and say, what was I thinking?
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 3: I always think about Warren Buffett, who still lives in
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 3: the same house that he lived in before he became
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 3: a bazillionaire, still goes through the driving through it make Donald's.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 3: You need to get his breakfast, same thing every time. Yeah,
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 3: it's it's the It's. But I think there's a lot
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 3: for us to learn there.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 19: Consistency, for one, right, you know, less trying to just
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 19: one up the next person on social media or a
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 19: neighbor with the nice car, the nice food, or the
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 19: eight dollars coffee that doesn't even taste good at the
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 19: end of the day. Uh, but being able to look
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 19: down and say, Okay, hey, I can do this. This
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 19: is manageable, and it gives me room to grow, not room,
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 19: not to where I'm having to feel like I'm having
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 19: to catch up.
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 3: It's a it's a great point.
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 3: We've got Adam Martin and Chris Loftus with us from
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 3: Strategic Financial Partners. Strategic Financial Partners dot com is the
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 3: website and if you have a question, give us a
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 3: call nine oh one two six zero five nine two six,
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 3: or if you have a suggestion for this kindergarten teacher,
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 3: I remember when I was growing up and going through school,
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 3: you know, we had to take a home finance course, right,
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 3: so it was part of you know, getting ready to grant, wait,
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 3: learning how to balance a checkbook and do all those things.
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 3: And you wonder are they teaching kids those those skills
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 3: in modern day schools.
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 20: Well, I tell you I think they could definitely do
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 20: a better job at that. And one of the things
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 20: that our firm actually does is we partner with the
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 20: Junior Achievement of Memphis and we do go to classrooms
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 20: and we basically give them a little educational seminar about,
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 20: you know, how to balance a checkbook or how to
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 20: take control of your finances when you start making money.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 20: And I firmly believe that if we want to see
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 20: a shift in our in our generations ahead, we've got
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 20: to do a better job at educating them.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 19: To add something to that, something I've noticed is that well,
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 19: I'll use a story for this. One of my earliest
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 19: memories when it comes to finance is my dad take
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 19: me to when it was sun Trust Bank and opening
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 19: up a bank account and I got my very first checkbook,
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 19: and he sat down with me that night and taught
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 19: me line by line how to craft a monthly budget
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 19: with all my expenses accounted for. We can talk about
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 19: a generational failure all we want, but I bet you
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 19: there's probably a lot of parents out there that are
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 19: not sitting down with their kids and walking them through
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 19: how to do that on an individual basis. We talk
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 19: about business expenses a lot, we talk about household expenses
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 19: a lot, but it comes to personal expenses that starts early,
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 19: especially when it comes down to you know, putting your
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 19: your the pedals to the metal and saying, okay, hey,
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 19: we were only going to spend this amount. This is
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 19: within our means. We're not going to go above this.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 19: So it's very easy fall into that truck, you.
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 3: Know, for me, it was really my dad was the
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 3: same way. And it's like, you know, you turn a
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 3: certain age, you get your first job, you know, you
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 3: get a little part time job, uh, you start earning money.
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 3: When it was time to buy a car. I ended
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 3: up buying my grandpa's old Oh gosh, what was that?
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 3: Oh Jesus a loo. It was a little pickup truck.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 3: Low What was the low?
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 19: That Chevy Ford?
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 13: It was?
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 3: It was a forward.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 3: What was the name is a low slung truck? It
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 3: was really cool with arkly baby blue paint. So I
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 3: was it was the pride of white Haven.
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 19: Everybody knew who was driving down road when the.
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah yeah, but you know what, I had to
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 3: make sure that I had enough money coming in to
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 3: pay for gas and pay for insurance, and that those
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 3: are the big things. And you you, you nowadays you
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 3: watch these kids and they're driving like brand new cars
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 3: off the you know, off the dealership, and you're like,
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 3: holy cow, you know what kind of lessons are you
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 3: teaching those kids? And by the way, they're going to
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 3: be wrecking that vehicle?
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 5: No, yeah, no doubt.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 20: I mean, and.
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 3: Al Camino was gonna come to me an El Camino.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 20: You know, Opportunity often disguises itself as work. To be disciplined,
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 20: you have to work at that. And when we think
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 20: about like how do I get ahead, it's being disciplined,
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 20: sticking to a plan. That's what we're here to do
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 20: is get in front of you and identify it. So
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 20: if I was speaking to that teacher, I'd say, here's
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 20: what I see are the issues, and how do you
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 20: want to address this? Are you willing to give up
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 20: paying as much as you do every month for a
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 20: car that's not necessary? You know, we could get from
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 20: A to B with a cheaper car. That's gonna free
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 20: up cash flow for you. If do we have to
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 20: spend as much on our manicures, pedicures in our hair,
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 20: just gym membership, gym memberships, you know, go outside lift
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 20: something heavy for free, you know. But I'm not saying

• 1:48:34
  Speaker 3: You know, it's a great point.
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 20: I mean, sofe security is going through its turmoils now.
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 20: I hope that it's there, but what if that's not there.
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 20: How do we how do we live in retirement?

  Speaker 3: You know, you look at other cultures as well.
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 3: I was, you know, I'm trying to figure out do
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 3: I really want to buy a house or am I
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 3: happy being on a condo where everything is taken care of?
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 3: And then it's like I got the call, oh, well,
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 3: maybe you need to go ahead and start making plans
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 3: for the forever home. But you know, in a lot
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 3: of societies that never happens. Mom and dad and grandma
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 3: and grandpa everybody, at least back in this country, it
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 3: used to be that way. But now, you know, the
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 3: family seemed to be disjointed, and I think there was
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 3: a movement at some point of the country for people
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 3: to you know, kick the kids out of the house
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 3: when they're eighteen years old. But now it looks like
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 3: people are going back to that, you know, let's keep
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 3: all the family under one roof.
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 20: Yeah, And I did see a statistic the other day
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 20: where the average age of home buyers is getting lower
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 20: and lower. I think there was like a thirty percent
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 20: increase for first time home buyers of age thirty six,
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 20: and so I'm I'm glad to see that trend coming back.

• 1:49:38

• 1:49:41
  Speaker 20: paying over three thousand dollars a month for something that
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 20: you rent. The home for a lot of young people
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 20: is the first place where they really start to see
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 20: substantial net worth because the equity in their home increases.
