• 1:02
  Speaker 3: to have the President in Memphis for really an incredible celebration,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: and it ought to be a celebration. This president has
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: been able to come in and take the deadliest city
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: in America and make it one of the safest cities
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: in America. And he did so jez Alou not even
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: what six seven months, So thank you, mister President. And
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: of course the President holding a big round table there
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: at the Tennessee National Guard Armory that's over near the airport,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: and I have to tell you it was really something
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: else to watch Air Force one flying into Memphis International Airport.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Of course, Memphis also the world headquarters for fat X,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: and to see Air Force one by all of those
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: FedEx jetliners, it really was something to behold. Yesterday. There
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: were I would say, maybe I'm bad with numbers, maybe
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: about a thousand or so people there, most of them
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: members of the Memphis Safe Task Force, a lot of
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: National Guard troops there. And let me tell you something,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: they loved this president and they just really really gave
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: him a warm welcome to Memphis as the president sort
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: of on a victory tour. By the way, the president
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: also got to drop by Graceland and got a private tour.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Never in my life did I expect to see the
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: President of the United States in the jungle room at Graceland,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: but that that's exactly what happens. So anyway, great to
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: see the President yesterday. He is in good spirits. He's
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: in a great mood and I think really fired up
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: for the task at hand. And there are a lot
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: of a lot of things happening around the country. By
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: the way, I want you to write down our telephone number.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: You're going to need this if you plan on calling
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: into the program today. Nine oh one two six zero
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: five nine two six. That's nine oh one two six
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: zero five, nine two six. Now, before we get into
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: the big story over these nine to eleven memorials that
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: are being desercated, I've got some intel to share with
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: you from our friends over at just the News. Now
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: we're moving into a very interesting period of time in
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: our country, and let me explain what's going on. There
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: are a lot of moving parts here, and I know
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: a lot of you are very concerned about the war
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: in Iran where all of that is going. The President
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: backing away yesterday, the President had given a deadline for
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: the Iranians to reopen the strait of horror moves. By
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: the way, Dylan, there's a very clever there's a very
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: clever meme on how to pronounce the phrase horr moves.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: It involves a moose and a former vice president of
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: these great United States. That's all I'm gonna say. But
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: I did chuckle. I chuckled just a smidge. So the
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: President back to wave from all of that, and now
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I think he's given them out one five days they're
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: having all these back channel talks and whatever they very
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: well may be. Look, I'm not in the room. I
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: don't know, so I'm going to take my president's word
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: at it. But here's the deal. Iran said, if you
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: come after our electrical grid, we're coming after your water.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Talking about the water, all of these water plants in
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: the Middle East, I think ninety percent of the water
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: they yet come from these treatment plants. And if those
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: get bombed, then you've got a massive disaster on your hands.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: And something tells me that we haven't. Yes, we've obliterated Iran,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: but we haven't completely obliterated Iran. And therefore there's some
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: concern here that Iran may have the resources necessary to
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: carry out those those kinds of attacks. But a lot
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: of folks now are wondering, Okay, what exactly what is
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: the mission over there? Right? I mean, if you sit
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: back and you just kind of ask, are we doing
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: like regime change or are we just using up a
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: lot of our missiles? Are we given are are we
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: giving the air force some flying hours? What exactly are
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: we doing over there? And is it working? I think
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: is the other question. So just a lot of people
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: have questions about this. Now, look, the polling data shows
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: that the Magabase, at least the polling data that's out
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: there so far, shows that everybody is behind Trump on
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: this one hundred percent according to one poll. And that
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: may be the case, but people certainly have a lot
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: of questions about how all of this is playing out. Now,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: the other part of this, we've got the elections coming
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: up and everything that is about to happen. You just
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: need to understand this. Everything that is about to happen,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: all the compromises that are about to happen, are because
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: the Republicans fear that they are going to lose, and
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: they are going to lose bigly in the midterms. Now,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: I would contend that if the Republicans just do as
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: they said they would do when we gave them our votes,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: then they would be just fine. But there are just
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: a lot of shenanigans going on, and we're going to
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: try to talk about this. There's so many shenanigans we
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: can't even talk about all of them on today's show.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: But anyway, this is the headline from Justin News. Senate
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Republicans say President Trump is reportedly prepared to compromise with
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Democrats to reopen the Department of Homeland Security. The DHS
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: shut down over a partisan funding dispute. The President indicated
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: during a two hour meeting at the White House. This
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: all happened Monday night after he got back from Memphis.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: A willingness to make a deal to reopen without fully
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: funding Immigration and Customs enforcement now GOP senators came out
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: of that meeting, and they immediately leaked all of the
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: details to The Hill newspaper. Congress has agreed to spending
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: bills over the past several months to keep the federal
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: government fully operational except for DHS. Senate Democrats are withholding
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: their votes to fully fund the agency until reforms are
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: made to immigration enforcement tactics. A Senate Republican source said
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Trump is now willing to separate funding for enforcement and
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: removal operations to get enough Democrat support. Per the proposal,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Senate Republicans would pass additional moneies for ICE's removal operations
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: under the budget reconciliation process. Senate Republicans also told Trump
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: they would attempt to pass elements of the Save Act
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: in the follow up reconciliation bill. Katie Britt the Senate
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: she's the chairwoman of the Homeland Security Appropriation Subcommittee. She
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: told reporters that Republicans believe they have a path to
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: ending the shutdown, which is right now in day thirty nine.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: The President yesterday in Memphis said the Save Act and
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: DHS appropriations Bill should be combined into one large bill.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: The President said, we want voter ID, we want proof
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: of citizenship as part of our funding. We want to
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: merge them so we can get the great, big beautiful
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: bill in action. I guess we're getting ready to do
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: another big beautiful bill here. So look, here's the deal, folks. Now,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: if if we can somehow incorporate all of this into
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: the Save America Act and get that through the door,
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: then okay, that's a pretty good deal. But that's not
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: going to happen. The Democrats are not going to allow
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: that to happen. So here's what I predict is going
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: to happen. Nothing. The Senate is going to the Republicans
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: are going to cave. They're they're going to relent, and
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: they're going to make some sort of a deal with
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: the Democrats here on the ice on the DHS funding,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: and they're still not going to do anything when it
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: comes to the Save America Act. Now, let me just
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: say this, it's a bad move. It is an incredibly
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: bad move. The Republicans. What they ought to be doing
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: is they ought to be they ought to be outside
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: literally every single airport in America with voter registration cards,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: and they ought to be handing those to all of
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: the people. I mean, they're standing out of the garages
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: of these these airports, give them voter registration cards and
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: explain to them that the reason why there they're going
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: to be four hours in a line to get to
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: spring break is because of the policies of the Democrats.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: But we haven't done any of that. Nobody's done anything.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: It's it's really overwhelming to me that the Republicans continue
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: to miss these opportunities to say the Democrats are the
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: ones who hate you, the Democrats are the ones that
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: want to make you suffer, because that's what's going on here.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, Senator Chris Murphy actually said
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: the quiet part out loud.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: The negotiation didn't have a path of citizenship.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: It was entirely on their terms in order to get
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: Ukraine funding.
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, Chris, that's been a failed play for
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: twenty years. So you are right that that has been
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: the Democratic strategy for thirty years maybe, and it has
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: failed to deliver for the people we care about most,
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: to the undocumented Americans that are in this country.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: And there you go. The people we care about most
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: are the undocted migrants. So that would be the illegal aliens.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: That is Senator Chris Murphy, the Democrat telling you what
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: this is really all about. They don't care about you.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: They don't care all you black folks that they don't
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: care about you. The Democrat Party doesn't care about you.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: They want you chain to the plantation work in their fields.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Asian Americans. Democrats don't care about you, Hispanics, they don't
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: care about you. All they care about are the illegal aliens.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: And they're on the record. This was not some sort
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: of a foot in mouth moment. They're actually bold enough
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: now to say the quiet part out loud. They literally
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: hate you, America. That's why they want to bring in
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: new people. They want to bring in the illegals, and
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: that's what they've done. All Right, We've got a lot
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: of ground to cover today, Ladies and gentlemen. Our telephone
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: number nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Starting off the day with this question, do you want
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: the Republicans to compromise here? Do you want your president
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: to strike a deal with the Democrats that would not
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: fund immigration Customs Enforcement Officers? Nine oh one two six
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: zero five nine two six. This is the Tod Sterns Show. Hey, everybody,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Todd Stearns here, and I've got to tell you about
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: my friends at PhD Weight Loss, my very good friends
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: at PhD Weight Loss. I'm down twelve pounds already, and
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: at PhD Weight Loss they've identified that one thing and
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: they built a plan that works with your body and
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: not against it. If you call now, they're going to
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: give you two free weeks in the program and pay
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: for your food so you can finally see real results
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: without more trial and error. If you're done with the
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Yo yo dieting and you want clarity, call PhD Weight
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Loss now and mention Starns. No more guessing, just answers.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Call eight six four six four four nineteen hundred and
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: say Starns, you're going to get two free weeks. You
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: can't miss out on this, folks. Eight sixty four six
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: four four nineteen hundred, Say the word Starns or visit
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: phdweightloss dot com. That's phdweightloss dot com. The phone number
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: one more time eight six four sixty four four nineteen
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: hundred and say starns all right, getting reports from really
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: all over the country now where where ICE agents have
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: been deployed to at least fourteen different airports around the
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: country so far. And what is fascinating about all of
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: this is that the lines went from like three to
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: four hours. For example, at Hartsfield Jackson in Atlanta, the
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: lines went three to four hours all the way down
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: to under an hour as those ICE agents were deployed
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: and getting people through the TSA checkpoints. And I know
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: the media and the Democrats are going bonkers crazy right now.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, there were report, there was
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: reporting on CNN they were afraid that ICE agents were
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: going to start opening fire on airline passengers. It's the
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: most ludicrous thing I've ever heard of my life. But
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: now not only are ICE agents manning the TSA checkpoints,
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: they've also been been able to arrest to apprehend some
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: of these illegal aliens that have been in the country.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: So well done, well done, ICE agents. Good for you guys.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: is our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: zero five to nine to six. There is an interesting
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: story about Tucker Carlson, and I'm just curious if we
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: have any longtime Tucker Carlson fans out there, and have
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: you changed your opinion of Tucker. You know, certainly has
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: changed his opinions on virtually everything from from Israel, from
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: President Trump, to what happened with Charlie Kirk and now
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: of course with Islam, and Tucker Carlson is now suggesting
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: that that Islamic societies are more advanced than the West.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: And coming up at the bottom of the hour, when
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: we come back from that break, we're going to play
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: a longer form clip of what Tucker Carlson had to say.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: But Tucker is is now suggesting that the reason why
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: the Muslims are blowing all of us up is because
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: of colonialism. I want you to take a listen to
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: cut five.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: And you notice, like in the in Isis or al Qaeda,
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: like the Muslim extremists, they're all from like collapsed, pathetic
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: societies dominated by colonial powers. They've been degraded and that's
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: why they're so angry, right, So there's something about being
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: degraded that turns you into a violent nutcase extremist. And
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: you're seeing a lot of violent nutcase extremists in our country.
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: Not surprising because the country's being degraded.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Do you agree or disagree with what Tunker just said there? Now,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: keep in mind, if you want to go back and
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: you want to talk about colonialism, which the British were
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: heavily engaged in, Okay, fine, let's have that conversation. Because
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: when the British did occupy a nation, the well being
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: of those in the nation actually did improve. When you
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: look at the Commonwealth, the countries that were a part
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: of the British Commonwealth back in the day and to
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: this day, by and large, these countries improved as a
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: result of their relationships with the United Kingdom. But Tucker
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: is out there now suggesting that somehow all of us
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: are to blame for all of these Muslims going out
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: there and blowing us up and killing us and beheading us.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: And the reality is that the Muslims have been doing
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: this for centuries, go all the way back to the
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: seventh century, go all the way back. In The problem
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: here is we are not teaching Islamic history. You know,
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: the idea that the Muslims were, you know, we're invited
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: into countries to take over peacefully is simply not true.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, the Islamists have a very
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: long history of invading and conquering nations, going all the
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: way back to at least the sixth or seventh century.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Christians and Jews were slaughtered by the Muslims, and by
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: the way, the cultural heritage of those conquered nations was destroyed.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: And we've seen this play out in real time in
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: places like Afghanistan and Iraq. But look at what's happening
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: here in America where you had a situation in New
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: York City where Muslim prayer rugs were thrown over a
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: memorial so firefighters who were killed on nine to eleven.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: We have a photograph of it at Todd Sterns dot com.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: I encourage you to go and look at it. It
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: will enrage you. And the Muslims were like, oh, don't
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: read anything into this really, because I know exactly what
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: I'm reading into it, and conquered California. There's a cemetery there,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: the Memorial Garden cemetery. The Muslims draped a banner over
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: a nine to eleven memorial and the Muslims said, APSI
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: ore byad No. I don't believe it was an oopsieve
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: it was an our pad. I believe that the Islamists
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: are sending a message when Zora and Mamdami is removing
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: all the chairs and throwing out prayer rugs in City
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Hall and New York City, just a block away from
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: where the World Trade Center towers were blown up by
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Islamic radicals in the name of the religion of peace.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: I got a big problem with that. But I'm telling
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: you they're sending messages here when they do things like this,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: when they desecrate a memorial to firefighters, or when they
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: desecrate a memorial inside a cemetery. This is not happenstance.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: This is not some sort of an oopsie moment. I
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: believe these are very intentional acts meant to send a message.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Understand this. When you look at and the social media
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: platformforms are filled with videos of Muslims taking over public
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: spaces with their prayer rugs and playing praying. That is
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: not normal in Muslim countries. As a matter of fact,
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: in Muslim countries, doing something like that ladies and gentlemen,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: that is considered to be rude, to be offensive, but
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: if you are an invading force, when you do something
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: like that, you are sending a message that the land
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: you are on has been conquered in the name of
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: the prophet Muhammed. All right, we've got to take a break.
• 19:22

  Speaker 3: back to everybody. This is the Top Stars radio show.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: So let me give you a load out. One happen here.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: This is just a crazy story. And conquered California. There
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: was there's a funeral, a little cemetery out there, and
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: they have a nine to eleven memorial. It's called the
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Memory Garden cemetery and conquered California and family showed up
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: to place flowers on the grave sites of their loved ones,
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: and they realized Holy Cow Muslims had draped a banner
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: over the nine to eleven memorial. Take a listen.
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: The banner advertised an Islamic garden of peace.
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: To see that sign on that memorial was kindly not
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: good in my thoughts.
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: The Kimmels are a Blue Star family. Danny's older brother
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: was killed in Vietnam. He says his mother would have
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: been rolling in her grave if she saw the banner.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: She wouldn't just roll over, She'd get up and walk.
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: Danny's sister in law agrees. She says they're incredibly patriotic
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: and calls the banner's placement insensitive.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: There's room for everybody, but just have a little respect.
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: We're gonna put your things.
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: The owner of the cemetery says he recently sold a
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: portion of the property to an Islami family who plans
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: to open a memorial garden. He says he gave them
• 22:04
  Speaker 7: permission to put up signage, but did not authorize them
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: to drape it over the nine to eleven installation, and
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: as soon as he learned about it, he ordered it removed.
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: Workers took it down right after they asked us to
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: leave the cemetery.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: I'm glad they took it down, and hopefully they won't
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: be putting anything else up like that.
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: We talked to another man whose grandfather is buried at
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: memory gardens. He says it was especially hurtful as we
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: prepare to mark the twenty fifth anniversary of the nine
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: to eleven attacks.
• 22:37
  Speaker 9: It really caught me off guard, and I just think
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: that's a sacred place for people that are buried there.
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: He says, taking the banner down was the right thing to.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Do, all right, So the banner is down there also. Now,
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: the fire department in New York City says they meant
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: no disrespect when they desecrated the nine to eleven memorial
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: there for a firefighter. As a matter of fact, they
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: threw prayer rugs over all of that. So what is
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: going on here? What is going on? Ladies and gentlemen.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: We're watching the we're watching and this is in real time,
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: and it's happening very very quickly. But we are watching
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: sharia law being implemented across our nation. Now. It's sort
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: of like the old story about the old adage about
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: the frog and the boiling water and all that kind
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: of stuff. You put the frog in the cold water
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: and it never realizes that the you know that it's
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: doomed when you slowly increase the the heat. Well, that's
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: what's happening to us. Mark normand he's an actor and
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: a comedian. Are you familiar with Mark Norman Dylan out
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: to Europe?
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: I do?
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Is he a funny guy?
• 23:47
  Speaker 9: He's pretty funny. He's different than most comedians. He's very
• 23:50
  Speaker 9: blunt about.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: Things really like how so, I don't know.
• 23:53
  Speaker 9: He just kind of says it how it is. He's
• 23:55
  Speaker 9: not really afraid to, uh, to offend someone.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Is that right?
• 23:58
  Speaker 9: Yes?
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well, and that sort of sounds like me.
• 24:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah it does.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: I'm sort of a blunt guy.
• 24:04
  Speaker 9: And you're funny too.
• 24:05
  Speaker 10: Well.
• 24:05
  Speaker 9: Think you should do stand up?
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: You think so? You're kind of doing it already. You're
• 24:09
  Speaker 9: just sitting down doing so it. Give me a sitcom,
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: you're doing sit down? Okay, there you go.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: So Mark Norman was I guess he had a Netflix
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Netflix show man. I love those comedy specials on Netflix.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Those are really funny.
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah, they're always pretty good.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Most of them are very inappropriate. They're very funny.
• 24:26
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: So, anyway, Mark Normand was doing getting ready for a
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Netflix show and I guess he had to submit what
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: jokes in advance. I don't know how that process works,
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: but anyway, he had some jokes about Muslims and Netflix said, oh, Nelly,
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: you can't be No, you can't be telling those jokes.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: We don't want to get blow. You can't be telling
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: those jokes. Take a listen.
• 24:53
  Speaker 11: So it's coming out. Hulu sent me about a week
• 24:56
  Speaker 11: ago or two weeks ago. They said, send us a
• 24:58
  Speaker 11: couple of jokes you like, we'll chop up and use
• 25:00
  Speaker 11: that as promo on social media.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: Chomp them up and feed them to the pool.
• 25:04
  Speaker 11: You had two faced lace Irish Kurkur all right. So
• 25:11
  Speaker 11: I go, oh, no problem. I like this joke. I
• 25:13
  Speaker 11: like this joke. I like this joke. And I said great,
• 25:15
  Speaker 11: they come back in a week. They go, we got
• 25:17
  Speaker 11: to do a conference call, and I go, oh, that's
• 25:20
  Speaker 11: not good.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: I hate a conference call.
• 25:21
  Speaker 11: There's eighteen Jews on there with a speakerphone and my Jews.
• 25:25
  Speaker 11: And they go, well, yeah, we got some bad news there.
• 25:30
  Speaker 11: We reviewed the special again. We'd like to take out
• 25:34
  Speaker 11: the Muslim joke. I got a big joke about Muslims.
• 25:38
  Speaker 11: And I go, oh why, and they go, well, last
• 25:44
  Speaker 11: time a comic did a Muslim joke, we got bomb threats,
• 25:47
  Speaker 11: we got death threats. They had they'd said they were
• 25:50
  Speaker 11: gonna kill us. They ruined the whole studio, blow the
• 25:53
  Speaker 11: place up to smithereens. So we'd like to not use
• 25:55
  Speaker 11: the Muslim joke. And I go, well, I like the joke.
• 26:00
  Speaker 11: It kills. It's a hot joke. And you know, no
• 26:03
  Speaker 11: one touches muzz.
• 26:04
  Speaker 12: I like idea of like Islamic extremists using p smithereens.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: We blow you up to smithereens.
• 26:11
  Speaker 11: Hey, you never know, it's a common term.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Smither is funny.
• 26:16
  Speaker 11: They you know, Charlie Headbo got smithereens.
• 26:18
  Speaker 12: I love to know the origin of smithereens. We don't
• 26:21
  Speaker 12: need to know later on, but that's funny. The idea
• 26:23
  Speaker 12: of smithereens being in the letter is very good.
• 26:26
  Speaker 11: Where did that gotta be a bugs bunny line or
• 26:28
  Speaker 11: something on the back burner there?
• 26:31
  Speaker 12: That's good stuff, all right, all right, So they got
• 26:33
  Speaker 12: to blow it up to smithereens.
• 26:34
  Speaker 11: So I'm on the call, like, oh, I thought it
• 26:36
  Speaker 11: was gonna be like we're cutting your money, we're taking
• 26:39
  Speaker 11: a special down. We don't like you don't stop stop
• 26:42
  Speaker 11: writing his letters. But they're like, we want to take
• 26:44
  Speaker 11: out the Muslim joke. And they're very like the whole special,
• 26:47
  Speaker 11: not just the clip. Well that's what I thought. So
• 26:50
  Speaker 11: I was like, I've gotta fight for the joke here, folks.
• 26:52
  Speaker 11: You you approved it. Now you're going back And they're like, well, okay,
• 26:56
  Speaker 11: we'll keep it in the hour, but we gotta get
• 26:58
  Speaker 11: it off socials. And I said why, what's the difference
• 27:00
  Speaker 11: and they go, well, socials is where all the starts.
• 27:04
  Speaker 11: You go, put it on the internet, that's where the
• 27:05
  Speaker 11: fire calls, the pileon the retweets, the sharing. You can't
• 27:11
  Speaker 11: comment on a TV screen, you know. So they're like, well,
• 27:15
  Speaker 11: we got to take it off, so that's a that's
• 27:17
  Speaker 11: a no brainer and I was like, okay, okay, I
• 27:20
  Speaker 11: don't love it, but okay, I will take it off
• 27:22
  Speaker 11: on one condition. And they said, all right, what do
• 27:24
  Speaker 11: you want to hear?
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: What do you want?
• 27:26
  Speaker 11: And I go, I want you to admit on this
• 27:28
  Speaker 11: call that they are dangerous people. Oh And they were
• 27:32
  Speaker 11: like what, no, what are you crazy? And I'm like,
• 27:35
  Speaker 11: you gotta admit it or I'm keeping it or I'm
• 27:38
  Speaker 11: posting it. And they're like, I mean, I'm half joking.
• 27:41
  Speaker 11: But they were like, you can hear like a in
• 27:44
  Speaker 11: the back, like a horse was walking through and I
• 27:47
  Speaker 11: was like that's all I need. And they go, well,
• 27:49
  Speaker 11: we're not going to do that, and I'm like why not.
• 27:51
  Speaker 11: They go, well, that's offensive, and I go, that's what
• 27:54
  Speaker 11: the call is you're calling about this, and I just
• 27:58
  Speaker 11: need you to say it out loud.
• 27:59
  Speaker 12: You need acknowledgement, Jerry, I like acknowledgement. Everyone wants acknowledgment.
• 28:04
  Speaker 11: But it's kind of a microcosm of the whole thing
• 28:06
  Speaker 11: of like you can you can say, hey, I love
• 28:10
  Speaker 11: this group, but then you don't live near him. You know,
• 28:13
  Speaker 11: we all we're all talk, we're all signaling, we're all virtuous,
• 28:17
  Speaker 11: but you don't actually act that way. And I think
• 28:19
  Speaker 11: this is a perfect example of that. Hey we're scared.
• 28:24
  Speaker 11: Hey we don't get a head boned.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: We're nervous. Okay, well why are you nervous?
• 28:29
  Speaker 11: Well, come on, shut up right, That's what I was
• 28:32
  Speaker 11: getting at. So they admitted it.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Wow, Oh yeah, he is pretty blunt. They call him Muzz,
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: the muscle, the MUDs, the muzz. You know, I want
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: to know what the joke is. The question is, though,
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: should we play it? Hmm, that's the question.
• 28:53
  Speaker 9: That's a good question.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: I don't want to get blown up. Yeah, oh, all seriousness,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: just think about this room. But there was a video
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago, and there were people on
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: a subway car and somebody just just a Muslim guy
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: storms in and starts chanting, I don't know bat oct
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: bar and guess what happened? Everybody took off. I mean
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: they were getting out of dodge Dylan. Why do you
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: think that was? Do you think it was because I
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: don't know body odor? No, I don't think so. You
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: think it was because that does happened to be their
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: stop on the subway. I don't think so. You know what,
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: I think it is done. I don't think they wanted
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: to get blown up.
• 29:37
  Speaker 9: Mh.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: But that's just me. I mean, let's just say, for example,
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: that I know a Jewish guy walks onto the subway car.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: There are times Square forty second Street, and the Jewish
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: guy walks in, and the subway car opens up, and
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: the guy walks in. The Jewish guy walks in, he
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: goes shalom, and what people, what are people going to do?
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: They're like, shallom back at your path? Or what if?
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: What if somebody a Christian walks into the subway car
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: and says praise the Lord, and somebody might even say
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: amen or hallela or something. But if you see somebody
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: walking in in a hud covering, wearing idle low a
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: nightgown and saying a car you're getting out of there.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: I'm just telling you that's and and so why is that?
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Because nobody wants to talk about this, which is why
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: we do. But we got big problems in this country
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: because hear me, and I'm just going to predict what's
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: going to happen. I predict that the Muslims are going
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: to basically outbreathing all of you Protestants and all of
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: you Catholics and all of you Jews. And it's not
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: even a matter of people being proselytized. This is all
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: just a matter of numbers of babies being born in America.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: The UK has already been through all of this, and
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: we're gonna get to a point that they've gotten to
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: in the UK. And the reason why they're shutting down
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: the street preachers, and they're shutting down people that are
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: waving the British flag, and they're shutting down all of
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: the social media traffic. The reason why they're throwing all
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: of the good Christian people in the UK in jail
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: and silencing them is because they are terrified. The British
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: government is terrified because they don't want to be blown up.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: That's what's going on. And by the way, when you
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: see what's happening in the UK, this is what Sharia
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: looks like. And it used to be Sharia light. Now
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: I think it's just good old fashioned Sharia. And now
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: I think they're going to be heading into Sharia plus.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: And what happens under Sharia plus, well, that's when they
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: do start killing all of you people who refuse to
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: convert to Islam. Now, some of the Islamic countries they
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: actually allow Christians to practice their faith, but they're not
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: allowed to do it in public. They have to do
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: it in private, inside the privacy of their homes. They're
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: not allowed to practice their faith out there in the
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: public marketplace, not allowed to do that. I predict that's
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: going to happen here because right now I know the
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: up on Capitol Hill they've launched the Sharia Free Caucus.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: Over fifty members of Congress now joining that caucus or Calukeye.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: I'm going to make a bold prediction. I think we surrender.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: I don't think the American people. I don't think the
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: American people have the nerve to stand up and fight
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: back against the Islamists, especially when you look at the
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Christian Church in America. I mean, what's a polite way
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: to say this. It's like, I'll Protestant churches in America
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: have gone limp wristed. I mean, I think maybe the Catholics,
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: this new iteration of the Catholics, would fight back. But
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: I don't think the average you know, Baptist church with
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: their coffee bar and American Idol cover band, I don't
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: see them standing up to the to the Islamist right,
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: do you. I may be reading this wrong, but I
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: only say that because we gave up the right to
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: go to church during the China virus pandemic. So if
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: you've got people out there threatening to stab your pastor
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: or blow up your church, I think you go underground.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: I just I don't see this being fixed or remedied,
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: because when the Islamis take over, it's you're done. You are,
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: you are literally done? Where is There was some audio
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: that and and we'll get to this. It was a
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: couple of gosh, it was maybe maybe a year ago
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: when some guy Christian, white guy in Dearborn, Michigan went
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: to city council and said, you know, I got a
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: problem naming this street after somebody who supports terrorism and
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: the Islamic mayor. The Muslim mayor said, people like you
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: are no longer welcome here in this in this town,
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: in this community. That's what we're dealing with. I'm just
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: telling you, I don't see I don't see us fixing this.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't see us having the courage to
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: fix this. I maybe look at what's happening in Texas
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: right now. Nobody's standing up and literally Texas is being
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: overrun right now with the Islamist nine oh one two
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six. This is the Todd
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: Stern Show. I hope I'm wrong. I really hope I'm wrong.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: We'll be right back all right. Coming up tonight, by
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: the way, five o'clock on Newsmax. Glenn Beck is going
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: to be joining us. We're going to have a wild
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: conversation about Islam. You're going to want to tune in
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: for that five o'clock Eastern on Newsmax. Two. Let's go
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: to the phone lines. Mike and Texas listening to us
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: on Patriot TALC nine to twenty. Mike, what's on your
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: mind today?
• 35:23
  Speaker 13: Oh? I just wanted to piggyback on what you were
• 35:27
  Speaker 13: talking about. I mean, it fires me up because I've
• 35:31
  Speaker 13: been saying it for a while now. You're not going
• 35:34
  Speaker 13: to stop the Islamification of Texas, our America because it's
• 35:38
  Speaker 13: the fulfillment of end time profitcy. It started with Genesis
• 35:42
  Speaker 13: sixteen twelve, and it will culminate the Revelation twenty four
• 35:47
  Speaker 13: because it all goes back to ischmoh and islase.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: But again, I don't want to Yeah, we don't need
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: a sermon here, Mike, because we don't have a lot
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: of time here. But you're telling me there's literally nothing
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: that we can do in America to stop the Islamic
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: takeover now.
• 36:01
  Speaker 13: When it's the fulfillment of end time prophecy. And I
• 36:04
  Speaker 13: have a question for you. So many Christians believe in
• 36:08
  Speaker 13: the rapture and the Second Coming and look forward to that,
• 36:12
  Speaker 13: but so few of us believe that we could be
• 36:15
  Speaker 13: the people on planet Earth alive at the time when
• 36:18
  Speaker 13: all that happened.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: So you believe that the persecution that that Americans will
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: be persecuted at the hand of the Islamist.
• 36:29
  Speaker 13: Those that are not raptured out, Yes, okay, all right, Well,
• 36:32
  Speaker 13: look if you look at if you look at Revelations
• 36:35
  Speaker 13: twenty verse four, it talks about the people who don't
• 36:38
  Speaker 13: take the mark, they're beheaded. What group on earth right
• 36:42
  Speaker 13: now is there that's their favorite means of execution other
• 36:46
  Speaker 13: than the Muslims. That's what they do is behead people.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: All right, Mike got to leave it there. Thank you
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: for the call. Yeah, that's that was so much depressing.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: But again, I just think the church is the church
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: in America is squishy right now. I mean, there was
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: a time when your pastor, I mean, look, go back
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: and just think about this, go back to the nineteen fifties, sixties,
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: and I think it was starting to wane a little
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: bit in the seventies and eighties. But the most prominent
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: people in your communities, the people that you respected, your
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: principal of your local school, or your minister, the local
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: police officer. There is zero respect for any of those
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: of those positions now. And a lot of these and
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: a lot of the well really small towns, big towns,
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: big cities, people just they don't have as much respect
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: as they used to it. Maybe a lot of that
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: is on the fault of the preachers. Maybe that's maybe
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: that's the problem. The preachers these days are more apt
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: to give you a four point so self help sermon.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: Then they are actually you know, girding you for the
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: fight ahead. Anyway, we'll talk more about that later in
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: the show. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: two six. Coming up in the next hour, we're going
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: to be talking about this crazy story out of Chicago.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: Loyola University student, a young lady, beautiful young lady, and
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: she was murdered by an illegal alien. And the mayor
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: of Chicago is defending the illegal. A city council person
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: is actually suggesting that the victim was just at the
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: wrong place at the wrong time, and that she might
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: have actually startled the illegal. You can't make this up.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: So we've got all of this audio. We're going to
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: be jumping into that big story coming up next as well.
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: That is our telephone umber our website. By the way,
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: I want you to go and read our story. Look
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: at the prayer rugs and the desecration. We've got that
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: for you at Todd Sterns. All right, hang time, everybody
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: will be right back.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: common sense, conservative commentary from Todd Stars.
• 39:33
  Speaker 9: This American.
• 39:38
  Speaker 14: All right.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Normally, I normally I do not complain about how I
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: am portrayed by the far left media. Hello, everybody, Welcome
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: to the Todd Starns Radio Show. Good to have you
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: with us today. But Dylan, I'm telling you, I'm a
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: little I'm a little fired up right now over how
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: the local media folk in Memphis, Tennessee have been portraying yours. Truly,
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: they love you, don't they They do not love me,
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: and if they do, they're they're showing it in a
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: very weird way.
• 40:12
  Speaker 9: I'm very shocked by this.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Actually nothing more. And by the way the media coverage,
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: you know what. Before we go any further, I want
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: to bring our good friend, the great Republican strategist Josh
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: Jones into the conversation. Josh, I hope you're having a
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: better day that I'm having right now.
• 40:29
  Speaker 15: So far, so good.
• 40:31
  Speaker 14: I mean, I'm interested that they hear what the media has.
• 40:33
  Speaker 9: Been saying about you.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So anyway, it's well, you know, we had President
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: Trump in town yesterday. By the way, Josh, we took
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: they took him on the same tour of Graceland that
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: that we took you on.
• 40:46
  Speaker 14: I saw that, I saw the pictures yesterday. I was like,
• 40:48
  Speaker 14: oh my god, I was there like two months ago
• 40:50
  Speaker 14: or whatever. That was recently, so good to know that
• 40:54
  Speaker 14: if it's good enough for the President, definitely.
• 40:55
  Speaker 9: Good enough for me.
• 40:56
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: Well, well exactly, however, they they to actually sit down
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: in the jungle room. We were only allowed to observe
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: the jungle room. So anyway, Yeah, So the Commercial Appeal,
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: which is run by Gennette, which is that they own
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: USA Today and a lot of other failing newspapers around
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: the country, they dispatched their local Memphis reporter, a gown
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: by the name of Brooke Muckerman. What an unfortunate last name,
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: but Muckerman was on the job yesterday and she was
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: detailing exactly who was responsible for President Trump sending the
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: National Guard to Memphis, and of course it happened to
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: be yours truly, Josh and I take great pride in that,
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: and we were the only people that actually had the
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: courage to ask the President the question, will you do
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: something about the crime in Memphis? And now, of course
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: that has been a great success, everybody and their brothers
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: taking full credit for it, including the governor of Tennessee,
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: who staunchly opposed to sending out the National Guard. But
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: I digress. So Muckerman in the Commercial Appeal says this,
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: Todd Stearns a controversial conservative fixture. What does that mean?
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: You know, here's the deal. I'm a two time Burrow
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: Award winning journalist. I've won the Associated Press, Mark Twain
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: Storytelling Award. I've got awards out the wazoo. I'm a
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: small business owner. But all of a sudden I can
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: only be relegated to a controversial conservative fixture in Memphis, Tennessee.
• 42:36
  Speaker 14: I mean, yeah, it sounds like I'm having maybe a
• 42:40
  Speaker 14: little bit more of a better day. But to your point,
• 42:43
  Speaker 14: hopefully nobody's reading it.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: Well, there you go, nobody does read it. But anyway,
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: thank you Brooke Muckerman for your analysis there of the
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: situation in Memphis, Tennessee. Josh, a lot of political news happening,
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: and there's a lot of just it just feels weird
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: right now. I'm not sure anybody has a good peg
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: on what's going to happen in twenty twenty six. Now
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: we're getting word that Trump may compromise with the Democrats
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: to reopen the TSA and get everybody paid. What is
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: the mood out there. What is the vibe? I know
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: you represent a lot of candidates, you what are you
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: feeling out there?
• 43:19
  Speaker 14: Look, I think you see it's different across the country,
• 43:23
  Speaker 14: you know, from Texas, whether you're in Texas or in Virginia.
• 43:26
  Speaker 14: I mean in Virginia right now we have this whole
• 43:27
  Speaker 14: redistricting battle Texas, you still have this competitive primary for
• 43:32
  Speaker 14: the sense see.
• 43:32
  Speaker 9: Going on down there.
• 43:33
  Speaker 14: So I think we're seeing like different levels of enthusiasm
• 43:36
  Speaker 14: for Republican voters across the country right now, and that's
• 43:38
  Speaker 14: going to be the big determining factor when we get
• 43:41
  Speaker 14: to November of can the Democrats get their people to
• 43:43
  Speaker 14: the polls. As of right now, the signs of party
• 43:45
  Speaker 14: into yes because for better or for worse, their monovating
• 43:48
  Speaker 14: factor is this is their chance to stand up against
• 43:51
  Speaker 14: President Trump in their minds, So they're going to come
• 43:53
  Speaker 14: out them vote and make their voices heard. That way,
• 43:55
  Speaker 14: Republicans need a reason to come out the vote in November.
• 43:59
  Speaker 14: So I hope Ngress and the President are focused on
• 44:02
  Speaker 14: delivering over the next six months, roughly delivering some flagship
• 44:08
  Speaker 14: legislation or policy agenda that the President set out in
• 44:12
  Speaker 14: a second term to roid drive these Republican voters to
• 44:14
  Speaker 14: the polls, otherwise we could be facing a pretty dire
• 44:18
  Speaker 14: situation in November.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: We've been dealing with the situation across Tennessee, and I'm
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: curious if other state Republican parties have been dealing with
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: this where there's a big battle over bonafides, who exactly
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: is a bonafide Republican. In one instance, an incumbent Republican
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: judge was declared not bonafied because I guess he missed
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: a primary vote or something. Or now there's actually rumblings
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: in Tennessee that if you speak ill of another Republican
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: then you could be disqualified from serving on any state
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: executive committees. And I get that, you know Reagan's love
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: of the commandment, don't speak ill of your fellow Republicans,
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: at least public. But the reality is is that the
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: I mean that, I don't see that actually growing and
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: expanding the Republican base when there's so much warfare happening.
• 45:11
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I agree, I think you know, to your point,
• 45:14
  Speaker 14: Ragan said, I love it commanded you know, don't don't
• 45:17
  Speaker 14: go after your fellow Republicans. But that doesn't mean never
• 45:20
  Speaker 14: go after a fellow Republican. I think it's also to
• 45:24
  Speaker 14: speak to the fact that Republicans should be a big
• 45:26
  Speaker 14: ten party. There's a lot of different opinions within the party.
• 45:29
  Speaker 14: I mean you have a very you know, isolationist wing
• 45:32
  Speaker 14: of the party who doesn't want intervention, and then you
• 45:34
  Speaker 14: have the other side of the party. You are traditional
• 45:36
  Speaker 14: conservatives who are pro intervention. Look, both both camps are fine,
• 45:40
  Speaker 14: They're welcome to their opinions, but it's a testament that
• 45:43
  Speaker 14: different opinions can exist under the same banner. And I
• 45:45
  Speaker 14: think a lot of Republicans have lost that unfortunately, at
• 45:48
  Speaker 14: least a lot of the different state committees across the country,
• 45:51
  Speaker 14: where it's you're either with us one hundred percent of
• 45:53
  Speaker 14: the time or you're not with us at all. And
• 45:55
  Speaker 14: that's not how you build a winning coalition. Look, someone
• 45:58
  Speaker 14: I agree with eighty percent of the time is better
• 46:00
  Speaker 14: than someone I agree of twenty percent of the time.
• 46:02
  Speaker 14: And I think that's the mindset that a lot of
• 46:04
  Speaker 14: Republicans need to be taken into the midterms. Particularly President
• 46:08
  Speaker 14: Trump will not be on the ballot in November or
• 46:10
  Speaker 14: ever again for that matter. So moving forward with the
• 46:14
  Speaker 14: Magian movement, we have to be a big ten party
• 46:16
  Speaker 14: and have these different opinions, and look, that's the whole
• 46:19
  Speaker 14: point of in a primary. People have to like primaries
• 46:22
  Speaker 14: are the worst things ever and people shouldn't run against
• 46:25
  Speaker 14: each other. No, that that's our chance to voice our
• 46:27
  Speaker 14: differences internally within the party. But the key point of
• 46:30
  Speaker 14: that is once we have the nominee, we have to
• 46:32
  Speaker 14: rally around that person. So different opinions are good, Primaries
• 46:36
  Speaker 14: are good, but once we have that nominee, that's when
• 46:38
  Speaker 14: everybody needs to lock in and support that person.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: It's a that is a great point you raise. And
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: there's a situation in Memphis where you have you had
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: two black men that were wanting to run for the
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: Republican nod to be the county mayor in Memphis, Tennessee.
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: That's a big job. And I thought it was. I
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: thought it was going to be a pretty fascinating primary
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: battle between Judge Joe Brown and this great civil rights
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: leader John de Berry. And yet the state stepped in
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: and said, no, no, no, Judge Joe Brown is not
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: a bona fide so therefore he cannot run the race. Well,
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: it turned out neither was the other guy. But for
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: whatever reason, they liked the other guy, so they kept
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: him and they gave Judge Joe Brown the heave home.
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: But the reality is, I think that would have energized
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: the base, Josh that were because right now you've got
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: five or six or maybe seven Democrats running for the mayor.
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: They're having town halls, you know, once twice a week,
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: they're doing debates. There's all of this excitement and enthusiasm
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: on the Democrat side, but none on the Republican side.
• 47:44
  Speaker 9: Yep.
• 47:45
  Speaker 14: No, it's a real problem. I mean, primaries, even if
• 47:48
  Speaker 14: they get a little messy sometimes because it's politics, it's
• 47:51
  Speaker 14: going to happen, but it drives enthusiasm. And I mean
• 47:55
  Speaker 14: the risk you run is you have to keep the
• 47:56
  Speaker 14: coalition together after that primary, election or convention or the
• 48:00
  Speaker 14: nominating processes happens. But I mean a lot of people,
• 48:05
  Speaker 14: I mean, to your point in this story, I wasn't
• 48:07
  Speaker 14: aware of it, but like you know, you have the
• 48:09
  Speaker 14: state party I assume, or a state committee coming in
• 48:11
  Speaker 14: and saying, no, we don't need a primary because this
• 48:13
  Speaker 14: person has a you know, check X, y Z boxes.
• 48:16
  Speaker 14: Well that's really for the voters to decide, not necessarily
• 48:18
  Speaker 14: you know, some over you know, overlord State Committee or
• 48:21
  Speaker 14: you know, whatever it may be. So I think it's,
• 48:25
  Speaker 14: you know, a large issue we're seeing across the country
• 48:27
  Speaker 14: right now. Luckily, at least in a lot of states
• 48:29
  Speaker 14: were past the primary season, or we're kind of in
• 48:31
  Speaker 14: the middle of it right now. But no, I mean,
• 48:33
  Speaker 14: I think primaries can be a good thing, so long
• 48:36
  Speaker 14: as you can keep that coalition together afterwards.
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: Real quick, Johns, before we let you go. I know,
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: there's been a lot of talk about what's going to
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: happen with redistricting in Virginia, and it certainly appears that
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: the Republicans are are getting fired up. Do you think
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: that they're going to be able to put down that
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: that attempt to actually erase Republican representation in Congress.
• 48:59
  Speaker 14: Look, I'm optimistic that Republicans, you know, are mobilizing, the voters,
• 49:03
  Speaker 14: are paying attention and getting.
• 49:04
  Speaker 9: Out the vote.
• 49:05
  Speaker 14: If you look at the early voting numbers as it
• 49:08
  Speaker 14: relates to the governor's election we had last November, Republicans
• 49:11
  Speaker 14: are really turning out, I mean some more so even
• 49:14
  Speaker 14: than last November where we had a governor's election, whereas
• 49:16
  Speaker 14: Democrat localities aren't really turning out so far. So we'll
• 49:19
  Speaker 14: see what happens. The thing we have working against this
• 49:22
  Speaker 14: here is the national democratic apparatus is involved. I mean,
• 49:25
  Speaker 14: you have Obama cutting at the governor obviously, Governor spendbur
• 49:29
  Speaker 14: is getting involved, along with a bunch of other national figures,
• 49:32
  Speaker 14: and you don't really see that happening on the Republican
• 49:34
  Speaker 14: side unfortunately. So we'll see how this plays out.
• 49:37
  Speaker 9: But if you're in Virginia, you have to go.
• 49:39
  Speaker 14: Vote NOIL in this referendum to keep Republican representation in Congress.
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: And that's the thing. The way it is written, you
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: would think the Republicans one would want to vote yes,
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: but that's again that's the strategy of the Democrats here.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: It is a no vote on this legislation.
• 49:54
  Speaker 9: That's right.
• 49:54
  Speaker 14: It's very reliant. If you read the language they put
• 49:57
  Speaker 14: on the ballot, they're intentionally trying to sleep vooters. I mean,
• 50:01
  Speaker 14: it's the most blatant power grab I've seen. I mean, granted,
• 50:05
  Speaker 14: relatively short live all things considered, I guess, but it's
• 50:08
  Speaker 14: the most blatant power graph I've seen in politics in

• 52:10
  Speaker 3: I want to go back to this whole Republican thing.
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: There's just a lot of fighting at the local and
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: state and national well, by the way, the National Republican
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: Party is they're doa I mean, nobody, nobody's getting any
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: help from the r NC these days. I don't know
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: what that is all about. But within the local Republican parties,
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: you've you've got this in fighting and people are be
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: wording and moaning all over the place about the about
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: the true conservatives and the grass roots people as a
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: matter of fact. But at the end of the day,
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: it's really not about that. It's about the establishment. And
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: I cannot tell you where this happened. I wish I could.
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: I wish I could tell you where this happened. But
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: there were there were some Republicans and then when to
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: give donors a gift, So they got them the beautiful
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: White House Christmas ornament that I got. I gave those
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: out as gifts this past year and people loved it.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: Dylan and I gave you guys one that ornament. Isn't
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: it a great ornament? It's very nice. I gave one
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: for the whole stamp.
• 53:17
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: So so anyway, I'm uh so they decided to give
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: out these as gifts and the person said, oh, why
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: don't we wrap this? And we had they had Trump
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: Christmas wrapping paper. I thought that would have been very clever,
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: and they said, no, we don't need to be doing that.
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: We need to be moving on from Donald Trump.
• 53:38
  Speaker 9: No.
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: You know what that tells me? That is a liberal
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: alert right there, ladies and gentlemen. That's what that's all about.
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: Liberal alert, liberal alert, that's what's going on there. You're
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: telling me you're not gonna wrap a Christmas ornament and
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump's face, what's wrong with you? You're communists. I'm
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: just saying. So anyway, we're having well, we're having this
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: big hullabaloo in Memphis over the over the county mayor,
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: and of course crime is still a huge issue here.
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: So I want to read this to you. This is
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: what I wrote. It caused a lot of controversy locally,
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: and everybody's calling me a racist, and I'm curious to
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: hear hear your thoughts on this. So over the weekend,
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: you had a horrible situation. You had two people shot
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: in separate shootings on Beal Street. You had this mob
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: of they say it between fifty and two hundred, so
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: you can figure it out. But there was a huge
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: mob of teenagers and they were rampaging and fighting. They
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: were fighting with National Guard trips, they were fighting with
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: Memphis police officers. I mean, it was all you know
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: what was breaking loose. It's unbelievable. So anyway, I said,
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: you know what, enough is enough. We need to talk
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: about this, and I wrote at I wrote a little
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: blurb here and I'm calling it up. HM hmmmmmm, here
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: we go. And this is this is what I had
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: to say, because everybody's afraid to say what needs to
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: be said about this nonsense. And if we're not willing
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: to talk about it, we're not going to ever ever
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: be able to fix what is broken in our in
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: our city. And as soon as I can find the
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: blasted thing, I'll read it. I don't know why I'm
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: having such a hard time finding stuff today, but the
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: gist of it is this, and it's a very simple thing,
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: is that we have got to be willing to speak
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: truth to power wet now. It's not the time for
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: platitudes because plantitudes get you nowhere. And that's a big problem.
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: And especially in the Republican Party. Donald Trump he speaks
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: truth to power, and when he does that, things get done.
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: And I was really hoping that, you know, the Republicans
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: would would learn something, And so here's what I wrote.
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: The lawless lawlessness that we are seeing hampen across Memphis
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: is caused overwhelmingly by one demographic, black teenagers. On Beal Street,
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: there were at least two separate shootings. A mob of
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: black teens caused mayhem and the sixty million dollar tom
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: Lee Park before heading back to Beale Street. Business owners
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: tell me there were fights and stampedes all over downtown.
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: Several businesses had to shut down their establishments early because
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: of the violence. The black preachers, black business leaders, and
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: black elected officials need to have a come to Jesus
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: conversation about the citizens or with the citizens of Memphis
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: enforced the curfew. Arrest parents who allow their children to
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: break curfew. God only knows how much worse last night
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: could have been without the Memphis Save Task Force. We
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: don't need any more community centers or athletic fields or
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: basketball courts. We need moms and dads to step up
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: and start parenting, and we would be happy to supply
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: hickory switches and or belts. And we need a district
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: attorney's office that will fight crime instead of treating the
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: criminals like victims. The time for dancing around the issue
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: with politically correct jargon is over. And so that was
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: my take on it. And now people are accusing me
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: of being a racist. I'm not a racist. If we
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: had a bunch of white folks out there, or Hispanic
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: folks or Asian American folks, you better believe I would
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: be saying the same thing. But we've got to start
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: speaking truth about what's really going on in this country.
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: All right, gotta take a break. Nine oh one two
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six. This is the Tom
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: Stern Show.
• 57:57
  Speaker 15: Todd, I just want to shout out that you you
• 58:00
  Speaker 15: are very much loved and most important, you are loved
• 58:04
  Speaker 15: by God and that's all that matters first in life.
• 58:11
  Speaker 15: Before we leave this world, I love you, and thank
• 58:15
  Speaker 15: you and thank you Jesus. Have a blessed day. Amen.
• 58:20
  Speaker 15: In Jesus' name, the name above every name, greater is
• 58:25
  Speaker 15: he that's in us.
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: Well, Amen, Well, thank you for that. ROBERTA from Georgetown,

• 58:40
  Speaker 3: listening to that, you smile. Isn't that nice? Isn't that friendly?
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, if Roberta would have called up and said
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: a lock, Paul, I would have been under the desk.
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying.
• 58:54
  Speaker 9: That was very nice for Roberta.
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: It was very kind, very kind. Oh my god, sword Yoga,
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: have you heard about this?
• 59:04
  Speaker 9: This is the first.
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: Sword yoga is the hot new fitness trend that's turning
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: New York City women into swashbuckling fighters with the help
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: of a double edged blade. This is the exclusive story
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: from the Lifestyle section of the New York Post. Kat
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: Yap is up in arms. The no nonsense New Yorker
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: is not angry. She's empowered through sword yoga. Is it
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: sword or sword? I call it a sword.
• 59:34
  Speaker 9: I don't know anyone who says sword sword.
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: It's sort of like, it's sort of like raspberry. Now
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: I believe in pronouncing the beat raspberry, but some people
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: say raspberry.
• 59:43
  Speaker 9: Yeah, sworn you didn't live in the North for a while.
• 59:48
  Speaker 6: True.
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: Does anybody actually say sword? Why is there a doub
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: there if you're not going to use it? Why whoever
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: came up with a word? Why did you put a
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: double you there?
• 59:58
  Speaker 13: Good?
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: Point makes no sense to me.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 9: Parodactyl starts with a peace So, oh my god, English
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 9: is hard.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 10: What?
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true, all right? So anyway, Yeah, they're using
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: these thirty inch double edged blades during something called Golden Hour.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: According to Oh, the woman's name is Saturday. Her last
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: name is Saturday. I'm shocked by this Miss Saturday says
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: it's a tool of self expression and freedom. The sword
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: is like a magic wand that seemed doub there makes
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: sense because wand because it gives me a sense of
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: graceful power. When I hold it, I feel like a
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: force of femininity, beauty and strength, adding the force to
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: be reckoned with one in the rising army of every
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: day female dynamos leading the sword yoga fitness charge. So exactly, Oh,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: I see what they're doing. So there wheeling their sword,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: which I guess it's heavy and that therefore, so it's
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: a fusion of tai chi and kung fu, slow breathing
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: paired with vagina. Oh that's not vagina yoga. Pardon me,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: vinyasa yoga? Weo? I gonna get my eyes checked?
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 9: Yeah you do?
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: That would be painful. I would have to imagine.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 9: You know, I don't even know what that even means.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: Don't you gotta watch where you put the sword?
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it sounds like samurai training though, Oh god, kaichiichi.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: It's one of those days and it's not even Monday.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: That's the problem. I may I just say I was
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: so exhausted, you know, you had to stand. It's a
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: lot of standing up when you're with the president. It's like,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: you know, you're standing up for five or six hours,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: then the event, and then you know. So I was
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: a little out. So I'm still sort of like getting
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: over yesterday. Anyway. The lady says that sword yoga is
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: a firm foundation for her chronic panic attacks. When I
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: feel an attack coming on, I rely on the training
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: and breathing techniques. I can't believe I miss Pardon me,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 9: She attacks her panic back, she stabs it.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: She also has daggers. Oh and tell Ian Ian would
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: love a lightsabers. They have lightsabers.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 9: Wow, Wow, the lightsaber yoga sounds cool.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: Yes, I guess her schwartz is bigger than my schwartz.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: That was a great movie, by the way, Spaceballs.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 9: Oh yes, oh yes.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: The sword yoga enthusiast of two years trained with a
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: soup ladle. I can't I just but now she's advanced
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: to an actual blade. She says. I walk around the
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: city feeling like the cool princess in a tower, but
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: in reality, I'm the dragon. That's what she says. This
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: woman scares me. So anyway, you know, I'm curious about
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: this the trend here in this here in Memphis, they
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: do something called goat yoga, and they put these little
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: goats on the banks of people and they're doing all
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: these like yoga things.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 9: They're like baby goats in fact too, they're a little scary.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 9: It's scary, but it's kind of cute, as saying, I
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 9: don't understand it.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't either.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 9: You to have a baby goat just you know, pooping
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 9: and peeing on your back.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: Here's the concern, I am. I can't believe I'm about
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: to see this. But let's just say that you have
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: a bunch of ladies head to toe dressed in Islamic garb,
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: wielding swords in the middle of Times Square. That can
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: be a little disconcerting, right, I shouldn't have said that.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 16: I just.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: Sorry, ladies and gentlemen. Let's go to the phones. Nine
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six, Andre
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: in Memphis, Tennessee, listening to us on KWAM. Andre, what's
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: on your mind today?
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: Hey Todd, how are you? Man?
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 9: Well?
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: I'm good, Andre? Have you ever heard of this? All
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: these women now are doing sword yoga.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: Now that's a new one on me. And that's why
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: I listened to your show. I catch a lot of
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: new stuff that's going on in Memphis, and you're pretty good.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: You're pretty good. I really liked your show, but I
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: got a different.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 10: With you today.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: Tom, that's okay to go ahead.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 10: Uh, you said.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: You're not racist. I think you said something that was racist,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: but you weren't trying to be I'm to tell you
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: what I mean. You said that the black preachers need
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: to talk to the black teenagers and Memphis. I happen
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: to be a pastor here in Memphis, and I'm a
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: pastor that happened to be black. I'm not a black
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: pastor that the Bible doesn't tell me and Matthew, Mark,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: Luke and John and I'm black. Uh, you know the
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: Bible tell me that I'm a preacher. And what happens
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: to me when we when we told anytime you use
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: race as a denominating fact, that you didn't say pastors
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: need to talk to the teenagers. You said black pastors.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: Well that's racist, it's not a negative racist. What you're
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: saying is true that that usually teenagers that are classifatics black,
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: are going to relate to something that's black. But my
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: colorgagent has black and white and we had the middle
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: of high fog. And it's not because I appreciated to
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: the black church or the white church. I just preached
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: the gospel.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: Well I'm glad, look, pastor, I'm glad you're doing that.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: But you you know what I mean by that, because
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: there are there are black churches and black pastors, but
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: they and they are quick to criticize everything and everybody,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: but they are not addressing a very clear and present issue,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: you know, in the city, aside from the fact that
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: we have so many homes, so many broken homes. But
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: again my point is just because you're you know, somebody
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: is pointing this out, and everybody's dancing around the issue
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: at city Hall and nobody really wants to confront Hey,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: we've got a problem in this community.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you are one hund I mean agreement
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: with you on that. But what I'm saying is whenever
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: you have people were playing we are the black church,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: that is a racist statement. They didn't no black church.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: There's no white church.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 10: It's just church.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: And what happens is they used that divider to put
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: us in a box and stuff because they think if
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: a white man or a black man who passed. I
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: don't proclaim to be black. I tell you I'm not black.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: I'm andre. I live by the theory or the content
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: of my character, not the color of my skin. If
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna live by the color of my skin,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: I can't keep making reference to my skin. That's all
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: I'm saying.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: Well, pastor, no, that makes and that makes perfect sense.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: I do understand what you're saying there. What is it?
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 3: Do you want to give your church a shout out?
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: And we have a lot of Memphis listeners.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 9: What's the name of it.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: I'm at a Revelation Christian Center at fifteen sixty one
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: Box Food in the High Park community. I'm in the
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: middle of an urban neighborhood because years ago I was
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: a criminal and God told me you have to tear
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: up those streets. You're gonna go back and there build
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: up those streets. And I've been doing it for over
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: twenty five I gotta radio talk so too. Mine is
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: a Christian show. But they call me controversy to So
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: don't let that worry with you.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, I don't get worried about it. You know it's
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: every now and again, you know, you know how it is.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: Every now and again. Oh yeah, and it's usually.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: Some of you get type of todd you're doing a
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: good job if you put a lot of good place
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: out there. And I enjoyed this disease.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: Well, Pastor Andre, thank you for that, and thank you
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: for calling in and you give us a hollerback one
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: of these days. But look, he's right, he's right, and
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: I should have let me, let me advance that that
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: conversation just a moment. It is time for churches in
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: general so to start talking truth to the culture. And
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: if we're not going to do that, we're not going
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: to fix what's broken here. It's not gonna get fixed
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: at city Hall or the White House or Congress. It's
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 3: gonna take the pastors of America. I'm just telling you,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: that's what it's gonna take. Nine oh one two six
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: zero five nine two six. Our telephone number, that's nine
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six. All right,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 3: we're going to take a break. Did I really we
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: really did talk about sword yoga? Wow. By the way,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: how your brankets doing, Dylan? Really? Why are they bad?
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 9: Well? I didn't have Tennessee beating Virginia.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: And that's one oh guess who did you, Todd Star, Yes, sir, yes, sir.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 9: I don't even think that you can say that because
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 9: you put Tennessee in the middle the winner of all things.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 9: So no matter what happened, you were going to have that.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: I felt bad. Normally I would go with the Baptist school.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: But Baptist, we're not good at basketball. Yeah, I'm just
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: going to tell you, right, okay, yeah, right right out

  Speaker 3: of the gate, we're not good at basketball. But anyway,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: go big orange, all right, and we speaking of go,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: we got to take a break. We'll be right back,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: all right. Welcome back, everybody. It is the Todd Sterns
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: Radio Show. Happy to have you with us to take.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: Just got a message from one of our KWAM listeners
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: and Memphis, Kelvin Todd, you a white ass. Oh can't
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: say that word on the radio. Whoops. Oh boy, jesus
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: lo language people language, my word. This story from The
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: New York Post, a McDonald's in a Chinese city welcomes
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: welcome humanoid robots to serve meals and entertain customers. Videos
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: posted on social media captured the myriad of life like
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: robots at McDonald's in Shanghai, performing routine task typically completed
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: by human workers. Among other things, they Greek customers and
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 3: they deliver food. Diners were seen interacting with the robots
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: dressed in the fast food joints iconic red and yellow
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 3: uniforms behind counters, while children chased more of the moving
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 3: machinery disguised as cute animals. The robots were supplied by
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: a Chinese robotics firm and they were Lloyd is part
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: of a trial at the Shanghai McDonald's location, So maybe
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: they're trying them out in China and if it goes
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: over well, they're going to use them here in America.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: McDonald said the robots were only around for five days
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 3: and were meant to plug the grand opening of the
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: Shanghai Science and Technology Museum restaurant. So what do they do?
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: They fire the robots? How does that work? Keenan Robotics
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 3: posted an item on social media saying our humanoid robot
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: series are leading the squad and hitting the streets. It's
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 3: a showcase of how service automation is becoming a seamless
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: part of global dining and how technology brings more smiles
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: to every meal time. John Banner is the executive VP
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 3: and Global Chief Impact Officer of Mickey D's, and he
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 3: said the robots were there for a temporary greeting mission accomplished.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: The robots were not involved in any service or operational functions,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 3: and if you didn't visit prior to today, you miss them.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: So well, now a lot of people are running. Well
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: wait a second, if it worked out so well, why
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: would you not want to use robots when you don't
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 3: have to pay them anything? Right, they're like basically slaves?
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 3: Is that? I mean, if you force somebody to work
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 3: and you don't pay them a wage and you purchase them,
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: that does seem to fit the clinical definition.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 9: It depends on how humanoid they are.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: Oh that's a good point.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 9: Do they know what's happening? Do they know they're being sold?
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: Oh that's a good point. Do you break up the
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: robotic families?
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: I mean like little robot and likely have a little
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 3: doggy robot. You watch. They're going to be moral issues
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: that we can't even imagine when it comes to the
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: you know, integrating these robots and these humanoids into into
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: the culture.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 9: There's going to be a word for like being racist
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 9: to a robot.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, Yeah, it's racist.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 9: Is it? Though? I don't know.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Many of the robots handle the heavy
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: lifting and where I'm reading from the article here, many
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: of the robots handle the servants. We'll call them servants.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 3: Many of the servants handle the heavy lifting and warehouse work,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: picking items from tall shelves and moving goods around facilities.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 3: Others are advanced enough to help human sort and package orders.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine having to work alongside a robot? I
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 3: don't know about this. Get this, three quarters of Amazon's
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 3: global deliveries are now assisted by robots. You know what's
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 3: going to happen is so all these people will be
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 3: on the unemployment line. So at some point, and especially
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 3: with the the rapid developments of AI and this artificial intelligence,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 3: you do have to wonder what are the humans going
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 3: to be doing? What was the cartoon? There was a movie.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: It was like an animated movie about a future where
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 3: the humans just sit around and do nothing.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 9: It's Wally.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 3: They're blobs, Yeah, Disney Pixars, Wally. That's it.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 3: Is that our future?
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 9: Hey, we're not far off. It seems.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 3: This troubles me greatly, But again, I mean, if you're
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: in the fast food business especially and or in the
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: restaurant industry. I mean, and you can use the they
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 3: did this in the Memphis area. We actually had like
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: one of the Mexican restaurants where they had the little
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 3: Mexican robots. I don't think they were Mexicans. I'm sorry
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 3: that actually could be racist. But they had a little rope.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 3: So they had the robots, right, and they came over
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: and they were like, I don't know how a robot talks.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 3: And then man, man tinker. It's like, that's our dose,
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: thrace dose. That's the Mexican are too need too but
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 3: they have a This is terrible, but anyway, no, in all, seriously,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: they had these little robots at the Mexican Mexican restaurant
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: and they came over and they serve you food that
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 3: you know, they're they're very pleasant. I mean, they do
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 3: their job. You know, they're little robots and they I
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: mean everybody, I guess. I I don't know. For me,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 3: I would much rather have the human interaction, but some
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: people like the robots.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 9: It depends on how fast, like the cheese dip comes out.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 9: If it's like taking a minute, I might have won.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: Or a robot Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, and whatever. Yeah,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: and there's a problem you order extra ice and they're
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 3: out the door.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 9: Do you think they do you think they want to tip?
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's a good question if given next to squirt
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: of w D forty. I don't know, what do you do?
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 3: How do you a robot?
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 9: That might be like the best way to you know, compliment.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I don't know. For me, I would
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: just I want my servers to be humans. And by servers,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: I mean what do I mean? People, waitresses, people that
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: prepare food. They get paid, They get paid, they get
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 3: paid a good wage, and they're free. You can go
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 3: work at Applebee's, ors Zaxby's. I don't care anyway. That's
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 3: this segment of the show. Ladies and Gentlemen. I I
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: don't know what is going on today. It's just a
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: weird day here on the program. We do have today
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: Kate quick Break coming up, we're going to tell you
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 3: this horrible story in Chicago. Also, the Sharia Free caucas
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: is kicking off. We're going to talk to Congressman Mark
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 3: Harris about that. Also, Congressman Matt Van Epps he joins
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 3: us as well. It's going to be a Jam Packed
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 3: hour nine oh one two six zero five nine two
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 3: six are telephone number. This is the Todd starn Show,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 3: operated by humans.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 8: That's that's.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 9: American.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: Todd starts.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 3: Yea, well, hello everybody. Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Show,
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 3: Hour three of the Big show we had. It was
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 3: just a weird second hour of the program. What can
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: I say? Okay, it was a weird first two hours
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 3: of the program, and we got off on this conversation
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 3: about McDonald's in China using these humanoid robots to man
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 3: the little Mickey D's over there, and then got into
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: the conversation about robots in restaurants in general, and that
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 3: is what led Dan from Pasadena, Texas to phone in
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 3: about today. Dan, good to have you with us. What
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 3: intel can you tell us about these robots and restaurants?
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 10: Well, I'll tell you in general, I have a strong
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 10: bodas or strong preference for dealing with people with humans,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 10: But with robots and restaurants, I can save the value
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 10: potentially do it reverting health problems. For example, if you
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 10: are all going into a restaurant wearing a certain type
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 10: of cap that had THUR letters on it and was read.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 10: Then we would have to be concerned about whether the
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 10: waitress or the raid or the cook might add a
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 10: little something extra trap food, but who's falling in it?
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 10: So I don't think robots are likely to do that.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 3: What happens if the robots are are like made by
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 3: a far left company, I mean, what happens if the
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 3: bias is built into the programming the DNA.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 10: Yeah, there is a good point, and I think there
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 10: should be some sort of federal regulation. Uh. The FDA
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 10: perhaps has to require that robots are not capable of
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 10: spinning or doing any sort of uh you know, uh
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 10: sabotage like that to meals. But unfortunately, I don't think
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 10: you can control waders, waitresses, cooks the same way. And
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 10: one other thing that brought us up. Jesse Jackson was
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 10: in the news that long ago and real Noual items
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 10: there that was part of his life story, and he
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 10: said this publicly apparently that when he was young, he
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 10: worked at a restaurant as maybe a waiter or a cook,
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 10: and when he found out that the customer maybe was
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 10: a repubitant, he would spit in their food. So it's
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 10: it's an issue that deserves some recognition and to be
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 10: dealt with, I believe. And so robots are easier easier
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 10: to control than people because robots likely are not going
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 10: to have emotions and political biasses the way people do.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: So anyway, what about the female robots? Would they be emotional?
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: I can't ask that question, Rosie, Well, the female robots?
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: Would they be emotional?
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 8: You know?
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 3: Well, jeez, I just said my job is to ask questions.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 3: That's all My job here is, ladies and jellowen uh Dan,
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 3: it's you've given us something to think about, and thank
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 3: you for the call. I So here's the problem though,
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, Dyla, let's go back to the Mexican robots
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 3: here over at what Taco Tuesday that we'll make up
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 3: the name of the restaurant, Taco Tuesday. They got the
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 3: little Mexican robots and they're wearing the little sombreros and
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 3: they come to your table and you know, you order
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know, tacos, all right, So you order some
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 3: tacos and you they bring and you're wearing a Maga hat.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 3: So you've got the red Maga hat. And somewhere in
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 3: the Mexican robot it's like warning, warning, mega maga gringo,
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: Maga greeno. And so what you do is, so you're
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 3: sitting there, you're waiting for your food. You ordered, you know,
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 3: not to say ice because the robots will run out
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 3: of the restaurant, so you you order it without any ice.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: So you've got your like iceless beverage there, Dr Pepper,
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 3: And then when they bring the tancos back, you realize,
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 3: wait a second, what's that green stuff? Because it's not
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 3: salcy verdie. I'm just.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 9: You're bringing up a lot of good points here, right.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 3: I mean you could put it into the whole DNA
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 3: of the robot.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 9: There you can like store a little bit of like
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 9: water slash spit into the valve there.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 3: Truth you could, you could, But what do.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 9: You readily go that far? Would they do that?
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 3: Yes, I saw a terminator. They would enslave all of us.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 9: Well, then if you refuse, he might, you know, whip
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 9: out his arm gun.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 3: So I do recon. I'd like Dan's idea, though it
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 3: needs to be government regulated. We can come up with
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 3: a brand new we can call it DHS, the Department
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: of Humanoid security, and they can govern all the robots.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 9: I just think the mammy robots need to raise the
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 9: the kid robots a little bit better. You think so,
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 9: no federal government.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 3: Involved, Well, the robots live in government housing.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 9: No.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, they just plug into the wall somewhere.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 9: We're gonna start paying them.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 3: They don't even need well, look, they won't even need
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 3: to leave the restaurant. Right, You're gonna plug him in
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: at the end of the shift.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 9: It's true.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 3: That don't require a lot of TLC. I'm just saying,
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 3: all right, nine oh one two six zero five, nine
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 3: two six, thank you for that. Dan really appreciate it.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine to six.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 3: So look, there is just an awful story in Chicago
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 3: involving a loyalty University of University of Loyola student who
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 3: was killed eighteen years old. Her name is cher Gorman,
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 3: lovely young lady. She was walking in a park with
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 3: her friends. It was about one o'clock in the morning.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 3: You know, college kids, they're out late having a good time.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 3: A man by the name of Medina is His name
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 3: is Jose Medina Medina. He's a Venezuelan criminal, illegal alien.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 3: He approached her wearing a mask and armed with a gun.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 3: This is all coming from home, lad insecurities account of
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 3: what happened. She attempted to flee and then he fired
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 3: his gun and shot her. Gorman was shot and pronounced
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 3: dead at the scene. Now this is where it gets
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 3: very disgusting. In May of twenty twenty three, Medina Medina
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 3: was actually apprehended by the Biden Border Patrol and was released.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 3: So he was trying to get into the country, and
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 3: Biden released this man into the country. Something else happened,
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 3: so he was again released in June of that year
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 3: after he was arrested for shoplifting in Chicago. According to
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 3: Homeland Security, Sharon and Gorman had her whole life ahead
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 3: of her before this cold blooded killer decided to end
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 3: her life. She was failed by open border policies and
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 3: sanctuary politicians who released this illegal alien twice before he
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 3: went on to commit this heinous murder. So now you've
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 3: got Homeland Security calling on Governor J. B. Pritzker, the Democrat,
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 3: and the Mayor Brandon Johnson, a Democrat, to stop releasing
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 3: criminal illegal aliens into American neighborhoods. The ICE Director Todd
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 3: Lyons in a letter to the Attorney General of Illinois
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 3: Kwame raw Ooh, calling on him to put the safety
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 3: of Americans first and honor ice arrest detainers of the
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 3: more than four thousand criminal illegals in the state custody
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 3: of Illinois. And by the way, we're talking about murderers,
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 3: sexual predators, people convicted of or charged with weapon violations.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 3: But again, when you listen to Senator Chris Murphy quote,
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 3: the people that we care about most are the undocumented migrants. Well,
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 3: look a Chicago alder woman, her name is Maria Hadden,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 3: and she was asked to weigh in all of this,
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 3: and she said, really, the illegal alien is the real
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 3: victim here, and maybe, just maybe the young lady is
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 3: to blame for her death. I am not making this up.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 3: Let's take a listen.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 6: All the time, right, and they go out on the pier,
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 6: they walk around so that the kids are out doing normal,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 6: normal things people do in the neighborhood. And it sounds
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 6: like this might have been a wrong place, wrong time,
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 6: running into a person who had a gun. They might
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 6: have startled this person at the end of the year unintentionally.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 3: So she's saying that this was unintentional, that these girls
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 3: were just out there and they startled the illegal and
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 3: that's why they were shot dead. So Chicago Mayor Johnson
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 3: was asked about all of this today and given the
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 3: opportunity to apologize to this poor young lady's family, take
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 3: take a listen to Coup eleven going.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 8: To continue to pray for those victims.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 17: Will you think this opportunity to apologize to Sheridan's parents
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 17: for the policies that need promoted, that have that directly
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 17: caused her death. Suspect would not be in the city,
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 17: would not be in the country, but for your policies.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 17: Will you take this opportunity to apologize.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 8: Again a share that we're all We're all grieving the
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 8: loss of Sheridan and other folks who have lost their
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 8: lives because of since it's violence. And let's just be
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 8: very clear between the Safety Act and the Welcoming City Ordinance.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 8: The Welcome to the City Ordinance was passed forty years
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 8: ago by the first black mayor and the history of Chicago,
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 8: and the Safety Act was passed under the governor that time,
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 8: it was a Republican governor Ronner.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 9: Thank you for your questions.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 17: You will apologize to Sheridano.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 3: No apologies, no apologies whatsoever. That's the mayor of Chicago, who,
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 3: by the way, went on to say this about putting
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 3: people in jail. Take a listen.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 11: We cannot incarcelrate our weight out of violence.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 9: We've already tried that.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: It is racist, it is immoral, is unholy, and it
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: is not the way to drive violence down.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So, so the mayor is now saying that putting
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 3: people in jail is somehow racist, and I would love
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 3: love for the mayor to extrapolate on that and explain
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 3: why exactly it is racist to put somebody in jail
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 3: for committing a crime. Now, there are some very radical
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 3: people out there, and they actually believe that we should
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 3: only be arresting people based upon their percentage of the
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 3: overall population. So let's just say if seventy percent, let's
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 3: just say seventy percent. I'm just making these numbers up.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 3: So this is for all of the leftist that are
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 3: sitting in the basements monitoring the phone with the cheeto
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 3: stained fingers. All right, So I'm just this is all
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 3: just conjecture here. Let's say seventy percent of the of
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 3: the population is white. Therefore, seventy percent of the population
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 3: in prisons should be white. You say, well, wait a second,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 3: what if seventy percent of the population doesn't commit crimes?
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 3: What if seventy percent of the criminal population is not Why,
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. So let's just say, for the argument,
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 3: ten percent of the population is black, and you could
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 3: you could have no more than ten percent of your
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 3: prison population be black. You said, well, wait a second,
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 3: what if there is if the crime is committed at
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 3: a disproportionate number among minorities like blacks, for example, are
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 3: you telling me that, say, let's say that twenty five
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 3: percent of the crimes are committed by black people. Are
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 3: you telling me that we could only we can only
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 3: have ten percent of those people in jail. Yes, there
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 3: are people that literally believe that and that so for example,
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 3: if in fact, you've got twenty five percent of the
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 3: criminals that are black and you put all twenty five
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 3: percent in prison, therefore that makes you a racist. That
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 3: that's what they believe. I mean, it's insane. And now
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 3: you have people out there suggesting that really there are
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 3: no such things as criminals because the only reason people
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 3: commit crimes is number one, they have access to a
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 3: gun at number two. They are poor. So they would
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 3: have you believe that poor people are the people out
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 3: there committing crimes. I'm just gonna say that's a load
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 3: of huey. First of all, just because you're poor and
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 3: does not mean that you're a criminal or that you
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 3: are prone to committing criminal activity. As a matter of fact,
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 3: I would contend that being poor or impoverished makes you
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 3: more likely to be a law abiding citizen. And you say, Todd,
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 3: why would you say that, Because most of the poor
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 3: people in this commun in this nation are in fact
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 3: people who go to church. They are Christians, they're doing
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 3: their part. They work hard, they work hard, and for
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 3: whatever reason they can't get ahead in life, but they
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 3: go to church. They're moral, they're good, decent people. The
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 3: left would have you believe, The Democrats would have you
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 3: believe that all poor people, you know, are just they
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 3: don't take care of their homes, or they live in
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 3: trailer parks, and they don't wash their clothes, and they
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 3: don't feed their kids. That's all untrue. It's all on
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 3: matter of fact, if you take a look at the
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 3: criminal element out there. And I'll just say this because
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 3: we have a front row view to all of this.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 3: In Memphis, we're over the weekend. A seven year old,
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 3: a seven year old boy with two five dollars bills
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 3: in his pocket, was walking home from the park in
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 3: broad daylight, a seven year old, and he was rubbed
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 3: at gunpoint by a fourteen year old. So we've got
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 3: a front row view to all of this here in Memphis, Dylan.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 3: Most of the criminal thugs, I see the ones that
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 3: are out there running from the cops, the po po
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 3: you know what. They're driving brand new don Chargers. They're
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 3: not doing the they're not doing the donuts with the
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 3: Toyota Corollas. They're doing the donuts with the high dollar
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 3: of vehicles that are all souped up. They got the rims.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 3: A lot of money goes into those cars. They're wearing
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 3: the finest clothes out there, from city gear. They're wearing
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 3: the high dollar shoes. These are not poor people we're
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 3: talking about here. I'm just want to point that out here,
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 3: so before you get off on this only poor people.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 3: That's a load of who. We gotta take a break.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six number.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 3: This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, let's go
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 3: to the phone lines. Brandon, Statesville, North Carolina, w SI C. Brandon,
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 3: what's on your mind today?
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 18: Oh, good afternoon, Ton, Thanks for taking my call. I
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 18: wanted to talk about the crime and demographic stistic that
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 18: you were just talking about a few minutes ago.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 14: Uh.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 18: You know, the left us love to live in this
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 18: fantasy world where everything's fair and everything's equal. But the
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 18: fact of the matter is that it has nothing to
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 18: do with fair and equal. It has to do with
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 18: the American family and the American values.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: It's been under.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 18: Attacked for decades and you know, Charlie Kirky's just speak
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 18: about it a lot. It's uh, it's fatherlessness is a
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 18: huge problem in the United States. And I think that's
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 18: the pinary issue they we're seeing in these communities with
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 18: high crime. This this family is falling apart and uh,
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 18: and it's and it's taken an impact. Uh you know,
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 18: generation after generation, it's just getting worse and worse.
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 3: Well yeah, well there's no doubt about that. And look,
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 3: here's the deal. If you've got uh, and the problem
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 3: is we're just not we're not addressing the problem directly
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 3: head on here. That's that's the problem. For example, if
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 3: you got a bunch of white people and they're out
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 3: there rioting and they're burning down Beal Street, Uh yeah,
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 3: then I'm calling out white parents, white moms and dans, No,
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 3: no doubt about that. As a matter of fact, we
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 3: we've done that on this program. When it comes to
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 3: school shootings. You know, up until the past couple of years,
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 3: it was mostly a white white dudes committing those crimes.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 3: So I got no problem with that. But the reality is,
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 3: when you look at all of the problems facing America's
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 3: young people, I think, by and large, it has everything
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 3: to do with the fact that there's not a mom
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 3: and a dad in the household. I think that's the
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 3: bigger problem. Or you've got parents that simply don't want
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 3: to parent their.
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 18: Kids all see agree with you?
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: Good?
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 18: I think I think taking the moms there of the households,
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 18: you know, having school income households.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 10: Like, as much as.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 18: People might need that economically, there is a real cultural
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 18: loss when there's not a steady parent around.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 3: Gotta leave it there, Brandon, we are late for a break.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 3: We'll be a Ryan pack, everybody all right, heading to
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 3: Dallas to speak at Seapack. I'm not quite sure when
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 3: we haven't gotten the time yet, so it could be tomorrow,
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 3: which means I'm gonna have to catch an early flight.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 3: But we'll let you know when we're gonna be down there.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 3: I hope to see a lot of you folks down
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 3: at Seapack in Dallas. This is I think they're going
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 3: to be having it over at the gay Lord, Texan,
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 3: which is a really really nice facility, and it's so
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 3: much more manageable than the Grand Ole Opry there in Nashville.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 3: I want to go to our Patriot mobile use maker life.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 3: Hello to the congressman from Tennessee, our good friend, Congressman
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 3: Matt Van Epps. Congressman, I hope you're doing well. Great
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 3: to have you on the show today.

• 1:35:47
  Speaker 3: Know, it was pretty spectacular. Of course, most of the
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 3: Tennessee congressional delegation was there with President Trump at the
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 3: big Make America Safe Again roundtable. And I understand before
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 3: we jump into it, I understand that you and the
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 3: other lawmakers were actually invited to join the President and
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 3: flying from our alago.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 16: Well we well, we so I joined. There was a
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 16: couple that that came in from our alago. I actually
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 16: joined in Memphis and flew with the President back to
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 16: DC and Todd, let me tell you what a just
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 16: pinched me moment, just incredible. We got we got on
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 16: Air Force one before the president. He went out and
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 16: toured Graceland and was a he said, was a great
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 16: tour and just really enjoyed it. But we got on
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 16: before he got on. We took we did take a
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 16: lot of pictures and UH, but they gave us a
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 16: tour of the full plane. So we got to see
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 16: the press area where staff is and the president, the
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 16: President's office and his quarters, and then we got to
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 16: talk to the pilots. It was, you know, for somebody
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 16: who was a helicopter pilot in the Army and just
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 16: an aviation enthusiast, it was a very cool moment for me.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 16: And one I will absolutely never forget.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 3: Was that your first time on the on the Air Force.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 16: One, first time Air Force one, and you know, and
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 16: so we were they put us in, they put the
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 16: delegation in the UH in the President's part of the plane,
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 16: but it was in the conference room and then where
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 16: Senior staff is and so they it was really nice.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 16: They had lunch ready for us, and right right as
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 16: we uh, as we had sat down, you know, they
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 16: announced that the president it will be here in five minutes.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 16: And then the President is boarding and as we were
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 16: taking off, President came into the into the conference room
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 16: and he sat down with us and uh, we we
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 16: we just talked for for a good while, and then
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 16: I think he had some other business to do and
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 16: went back to his office. And then it was just
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 16: that part of it was really cool. And then he
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 16: also had us come back into his office and talked
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 16: to him there too. I mean, just a very cool experience.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 3: So I'm curious about the meal here, Congressman, because I fly,
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 3: I fly first class on Delta a lot and we're
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 3: we're lucky to get the Biscott cookies there. Uh what
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 3: what was lunch like for you guys? Did they roll
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 3: out the red carpet? They sure did?
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 16: And let me let me tell you, as an Army guy,
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 16: sometimes it's it's hard for me to talk favor favorably
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 16: about my Air Force colleagues. But was the Air Force
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 16: is amazing and Air Force one is incredible. They had
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 16: a really nice kind of box lunch ready for us
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 16: with really good food and brought us some diet cokes
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 16: and it just took care of us. You know, they
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 16: had the the the presidential eminem's too, so I took
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 16: a couple of boxes of those, one for one for
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 16: my daughter and uh and and to hang on to one.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 16: So uh, just a really good I mean just world
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 16: class folks, and the Air Force are so so kind.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 16: President's staff was so kind and they just got us
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 16: settled and was a really special time.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 3: You see. I I was begging to hitch a ryne,
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 3: but they said it was full, so I got bumped
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 3: because of you guys, Congress, and thank you for that.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 3: Really appreciate you next time, hopefully next time. By the way,
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 3: I'm just curious, so how long was the weight the
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 3: TSA weight line for you to get all board at.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 16: Well, it's you know, our weight was like the weight
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 16: that everyone should have because we were direct onto the
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 16: plane and the Secret Service and the Air Force. Air
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 16: Force one folks made it really easy for us. And
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 16: and that is that's what we should have. We've got it,
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 16: We've got it. We the Democrats need to fund DHS
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 16: and that's a whole separate topic, but they were very
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 16: accommodating for us and got us through quick.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 3: Well, no, I'm glad to hear that, and I do
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 3: want to get into Memphis in just a moment. But
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 3: on that, on that issue, the fact of the matter
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 3: is ice. You know, the President dispatched ice to what
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 3: fourteen airports around the country, and it's our understanding weight
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 3: lines have pretty much have all but disappeared. But again,
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 3: they they wouldn't have to be there if the Democrats
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 3: would just fund homeland security.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 16: That's right, you know. And this this president, he's he's
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 16: a leader, and he sees these creative solutions and hey,
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 16: let's let's deploy It was his idea, let's deploy be
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 16: ice and mortar patrol to help with not with the
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 16: screening part, but to with security around the airport so
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 16: that more PSA personnel can do the screening and focus
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 16: on that part of the mission that is critically important.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 16: And you know, the President sees these solutions, but he
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 16: shouldn't have to do that because we have obstructionist Democrats
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 16: who are putting illegal aliens in front of the safety
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 16: of America and that's that's unacceptable. They have got to
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 16: fund home land security at a at the full amount
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 16: and ensure that all of these folks who are not
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 16: getting paid right now that are protecting our homeland, who
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 16: are just great professionals, get the paychecks that they deserve
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 16: because they have very important jobs keeping our country safe.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 3: Congressman mad Van Apps from Tennessee joining us today on
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 3: the on the show, You know, Congressman, back to Memphis.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 3: I'm just curious to hear your overall thoughts about how
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 3: quickly things have checked for the better and what was
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 3: once the largest city in Tennessee.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 16: Well, in Memphis is just an amazing city and with
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 16: rich history and great culture, and it's just a it's
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 16: a wonderful place. But as you've noted, it had the
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 16: highest in twenty twenty four, had the highest rate of
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 16: violent crime per capita, with elevated rates for murder and robbery,
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 16: aggravated assaul property crime, you name it. And just in
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 16: the last six months with the Memphis Safe Task Force
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 16: going into place, and we're talking about twenty two federal agencies,
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 16: state and local police, fifteen hundred members of just the
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 16: incredible National Guard, we've seen just historic drops in crime
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 16: twenty seven percent decrease in overall, twenty six percent decrease
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 16: in murders, forty eight percent decrease in carjackings. The numbers
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 16: go on, and I think the other statistic that was
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 16: talked about yesterday at the event is that crime is
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 16: at a one hundred and twenty year low because of
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 16: this collaborative effort led by the President, supported by Governor
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 16: Lee and all of these just amazing law enforcement professionals
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 16: and Todd. I mean we were there together, and to
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 16: see just the crowd of those law enforcement professionals, the
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 16: outpouring of support, all of the people that are working
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 16: to make America safe again, to make Memphis safe again,
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 16: I mean, it was humbling, an incredible disease, and I'm
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 16: just so glad to play a very little part in that.
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting the mayor of Memphis was not there,
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 3: the police chief of Memphis was not there, the county mayor,
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 3: all Democrats, by the way, we're not there. And it
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 3: just seems to me that, if nothing else, they ought
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 3: to be thanking President Trump because they've gotten over seven
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 3: thousand very dangerous people off the streets. They found just
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 3: well over one hundred kids that have been missing I
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 3: don't understand why people are out there protesting when they
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 3: ought to be celebrating and thanking the president for what
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 3: he did.
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 16: I mean, this is a president who means what he says,
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 16: who sees these hard problems that have not had solutions before,
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 16: and he takes a very smart and creative approach to
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 16: getting this done. It started in DC, and what was
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 16: a very great operation in DC was replicated. And Memphis
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 16: is such a good example of the National Guard, the
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 16: Memphis Police Department, a cbpatf DEA Homeland Security, the Marshall's
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 16: Tennessee Highway Control. The list goes on of these professionals
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 16: who have come together to solve this really hard problem
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 16: and they're continuing to solve it today. And I think
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 16: this president deserves so much credit in driving this solution,
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 16: not just here, but I think the other thing is
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 16: very importantly. This is a framework example for what we
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 16: can do across the country success that's happening elsewhere in
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 16: the country. It's something as I sit on the Homeland
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 16: Security Committee that I've brought up and talked about just
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 16: as a great example of the Memphis Safe Task Force
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 16: being that element in that team that provides an example
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 16: for how we can operate across the country.
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 3: I just think that's terrific. Well, Congressman where it's just
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 3: an honor to have you on the show. Great to
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 3: see you yesterday in the crowd. That was a lot
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 3: of fun. Great to see you know, all sorts of
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 3: folks here you don't normally you see, kind of like
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 3: a family reunion.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 16: It was a great family reunion. And Todd's so good
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 16: to see you. Really appreciate being on today and just
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 16: very grateful for all the work that you do.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 3: All right, Congressman Matt Van Epps from Tennessee. Everybody will
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 3: get him back on very soon. Congressman, thank you. And
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 3: again they got the I mean, they roll out the
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 3: red carpet for folks on Air Force one. But Dylan,
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 3: I want my peanuts. I want my my presidential m
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 3: and ms. That's what I want.
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 9: They sound pretty good.
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 3: They're very tasty from what I hear. I'll tell you.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 3: The presidential chocolate choke cookie was body nice.
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 9: Yeah. I remember that you got one of those and
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 9: you tried to get more, didn't you. No?
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 3: No, I didn't try you did? I did you did?
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 9: They didn't confiscate them, No.
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 3: But the president was in a very good mood yesterday
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 3: when we chat. I mean it was very brief. They
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 3: only had like five people back there. Normally they do
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 3: a big photo line, and it just it was like
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 3: five people and then me and so they brought me in.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 3: We took a photo and then we chatted for about
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 3: ninety seconds. So you can get whatever you can. We're
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 3: getting that much time with the president, the leader of
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 3: the free world, when we're you know, trying to blow
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 3: up Iran. Hey, I'm not going to quibble.
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 9: That's a that's a lot of pressure. Like what do
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 9: you do. You have to like think about what you're
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 9: going to say, like way ahead of time.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well, I just said I told him. I said, man,
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 3: God bless I told him. I said, God bless you,
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 3: mister president. You saved our city. Yeah, and he was like, man,
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 3: it was bad, wasn't I'm like, yes, it was bad.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 3: And then he told me a story and I'm like okay.
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 3: And then the person came in and like, mister President,
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 3: we got to go. Literally I was holding up the
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 3: entire event at that time.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 9: So that's pretty cool. Though.
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 3: Then Pam Bondy we kind of like bonded so we
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 3: had we bonded, Pam bonded with Bondy. Yeah, she sold
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 3: me pictures. I guess she was at the They had
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 3: a big baby shower for Caroline Leavitt over the weekend
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 3: and I believe it was in Washington and show me pictures. Great,
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 3: it was like they had a great time.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 9: You guys are it sounds like you're like best friends BFFs.
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 3: I was talking to the US attorneys. She was like, guys,
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 3: they need to talk to Stearns for a second. I'm like,
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 3: oh wow, all right. Then she told me some stuff
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 3: off the record that I can't repeat.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 3: I know, there you go, but I will say this.
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 3: They listen, they listened to this show. I'm just telling
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 3: you this crazy story before we go to break. Are
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 3: you familiar with Jim Brewer Saturday Night Live.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 9: I'm not.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 3: He's one of their committee. He's a funny guy. Actually,
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 3: so he and his wife were He wanted to treat
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 3: his wife to a vacation in Hawaii, so he booked
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 3: first class tickets. And let me just say something. If
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 3: you're going to Hawaii that is like a six hour trip.
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 3: If you can't go first class, don't go because it
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 3: is a long, miserable journey. And so he and his
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 3: wife he bought first class tickets thousands of dollars and
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 3: so they're getting settled in their seats. This is American
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 3: Airlines and Dylan. They're getting settled, and they had already
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 3: pre ordered all their meals, and I will tell you this,
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 3: of the meals are actually really good. These you know
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 3: in first class. You know, we like to poke fund,
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 3: but they're really good, especially on the long half flights.
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 3: And this was a long half light. So anyway, they
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 3: sit down and then the flight attendant comes over and goes, oh,
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 3: you're going to have to give up your seats, and
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 3: they're like, wait what. And so he and his wife
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 3: were told that there were two pilots, American Airline pilots
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 3: that were dead heading, so they were they had to
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 3: ride on the flight. And there's an American Airlines rule
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 3: that the pilots are only allowed to fly first class.
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 3: So Jim Brewer and his wife got booted back to
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 3: like the middle seats. It's like one of the big jetliners,
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 3: and they got they had to sit in the middle seats.
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 3: It was terrible. So anyway, he goes off about this
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 3: and he was like, this is nuts because they didn't
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 3: give him a refund. They gave him additional first class
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 3: seats to wherever they can go. And I think I
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 3: was like, dude, I'm taking my wife to Hawaii. This
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 3: is a special moment. It's not like I'm going to
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 3: fly to Hawaii again. And so they gave him a
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 3: five hundred dollars voucher. Unbelievable, and so people, you know,
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 3: he's really upset. He went online and he's and again,
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 3: this is Saturday Night Live Star they're treating like this
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 3: and did a video. It went viral. Thousands of people
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 3: are jumping in and they're saying, what is going on here?
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 3: And the problem is, it's like going through a maze
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 3: to try and get your ten thousand dollars refund, because
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 3: that's that's how much ten thousand dollars those tickets were.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 3: So it's not like chump change. I mean, that's a
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 3: lot of money. I don't care who you are. So,
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 3: according to American Airlines, they only give refunds for bag fees,
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 3: pet fees, priority boarding, same day flight change, or in
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 3: an unaccompanied minor fee. So if you buy, if you
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 3: spend ten thousand dollars on an airline ticket and then
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 3: there's a pilot on board, he gets your seat and
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 3: you don't get a refund. Unbelievable. So then mister Brewer
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 3: said that he contacted the Department of Transportation, finally heard
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 3: from somebody, and he said, look, this is not how
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 3: a paying customer should have to deal with this. And
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 3: this guy's like a a TV star. Can you imagine
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 3: just regular joes. I'm just telling you this is one
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 3: of the reasons why people just hate flying. You know
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 3: that did't having to stay in line for four hours.
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 3: All right, got to take a break. This is Ton
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 3: Sterns Show. All right, welcome back. This is the Ton
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 3: Sterns radio Show. This is interesting. There is an interview
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 3: and we'll play this tomorrow. We'll get this audio on
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 3: tomorrow's show. There were a three Belgian radio hosts and
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 3: they're generating a lot of controversy because they did a
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 3: bit of video segment where they actually destroyed statues of
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 3: Jesus Christ and also I believe Mary and they're all
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 3: giggling about it. It's a video. They took baseball bats
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 3: and they literally destroyed these statues. So anyway, they're doing
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 3: an interview and they're explaining why, and they're saying, well,
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 3: you know, Belgium is not really all that much of
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 3: a religious country, so we thought it was kind of funny,
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 3: and I think it generated enough controversy to where they realized, oh,
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 3: we better come up with a good excuse. And they said, well,
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 3: the statues were already broken, and so we just you know,
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 3: finished the job. So then the host, and this is
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 3: a brilliant question. The host said, well, well, wait a second,
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 3: would you have destroyed those statues if they would have
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 3: been of the prophet Muhammad? And that's when they all
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 3: turned white as a ghost, which is pretty white if
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 3: you're Belgium. And they're like, oh, well you know, we no, no, no, no,
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 3: we wouldn't. We would never even think about doing something
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 3: like that. And here's the quote. When asked if they
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 3: would destroy Islamic symbols, they say, no, that would be
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 3: inappropriate because there are lots of Muslims living in Belgium,
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 3: you see what I mean. So they're all giggly. I mean,
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 3: they were literally giggling and laughing about, you know, destroying
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 3: the statues of Jesus Christ. But when it came time
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 3: to even asking the question. They just freaked out. I mean,
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 3: they just they got they got scared, just of the
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 3: question being asked. Going back to what we talked about
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 3: in the first hour of the program, all right, hey, look,
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 3: folks want to remind you today, Today is the day
