  Speaker 3: down with you guys and have this discussion. For those
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: of you who have lost track since I walked away
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: from network cable television, I'm with an outfit now called
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Torch Audio, folks, being put on by Glenn Beck. You're
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: going to be hearing a lot more about that in
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: the radio industry. You can go to chrisalsado.com. You can
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: still see me on camera, by the way.
• 1:06

  Speaker 3: in the business. So you guys can catch me across
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: streaming platforms, Rumble, and then, of course, on X and Getter.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Am I missing anything? Yeah, I think that pretty much
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: has it covered. So today on the program, Mary Walter
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: will be visiting, and I'm going to be teeing up
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: a conversation with Ken Paxton. Ken Paxton, who is running
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: for Senate in Texas, and Folks, I'm going to be
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: addressing this throughout the program, but have you heard of
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: the individuals who are going to be staying home? These
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: are Republican voters who looked at what John Thune did,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: who looked at what these 22 fake Republicans did and said,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: I'm staying home. I'm going to punish the Republicans for
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: ignoring me, for serving socialists and not teeing up and
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: getting past the Save America Act, which was which they
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: were capable of doing, but chose to prioritize but hurt
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Democrats and socialists over their own voters. And to punish
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: the Republicans, the Republican voters, some of them are saying,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: to punish the Republican Party, we are not going to
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: show up and vote for them because that will punish them. Now,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: there's a problem with that logic, folks. And I might
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: as well just give up the ghost right now. Maybe
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: you guys want to call in on this. Telephone number
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: is 901-260-5926. 901-260-5926. If you want to call in, here's
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: the dirty little secret. This is exactly what John Thune
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: and the fake Republicans want you to do. They have
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: undergone this dispiriting campaign for the last, well, over a
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: year and a half now. They delivered on the On
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: the big, beautiful bill, which was a massive pork giveaway
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: to all their Democrat socialist friends. And yes, they had
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: to because they couldn't get away with it. They had
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: to give President Trump his wish list and they used
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: him to sell it. And the Republicans ended up spending
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: overspending even more than socialist Democrats did. In service to socialists,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: but that was supposed to be the only victory. And
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: by the way, it has been the only victory. So
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: after that, the run out the clock strategy began being
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: run by John Thune and by the fake Republicans in
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: the United States Senate. And the idea was to get
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Republican voters so disgusted with the Republican Party, mostly in
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: the House, because they stand for election every two years, right?
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: To wipe out the majority in the House and to
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: give breathing room and maybe even hand over the entire
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Senate to the socialists to stop Trump. Look, Thune and
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Elizabeth Warren, thick as thieves. You've got these Republicans who
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: are in it for the socialists and for the communists, again,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: because there's a lot more money to be made in
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: government when you do things that way. And I've got
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: some examples to But for those of you who think
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: by not showing up, you're going to punish Thune, you're
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: going to punish Tom Tillis and Bill Cassidy and John
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Cornyn and Karl Rove and Hugh Hewitt. You're going to
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: punish these Brian Kilmeade, these never Trumpers, these moderate squishes. No, folks,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: this is what they've been working toward. you are falling
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: into the trap they've laid for you. You will be
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: doing exactly what they want you to do. Turn over
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: this country to communists and socialists so you lose power,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: the America First coalition goes away, and we lose the
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: greatest chance since Reagan to do some real and transformative
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: things to preserve this last best hope of mankind on
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: planet Earth. That's the game. And I hope you wake
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: up and you're hip to it. So what are you
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: going to do? What you have to do is elect
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: every Republican, fake Republicans and real Republicans alike. We will
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: have no chance to get back on the right track
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: if socialists and Marxists have a majority anywhere in this government.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: These anti-American kooks, freaks, and nuts. And that's what they are.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I'll explain throughout the course of the program, but if
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: you're one of these Republicans, who says, I'm going to
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: stay home, and I'm not going to vote because I'm
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: going to punish the Republicans. I want to hear what
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: your rationale is about all this. Convince me. Convince me
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I'm wrong. Tell me how turning over the country to
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: socialists and Marxists will do anything but punish you and
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: your family. Because I can guarantee you, John Thune's family
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: is going to be A-OK. And I can guarantee you
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: that even.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Even when he's on the outs, Bill Cassidy, even when
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: he's on the outs, John Cornyn, even when he's gone,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Tom Tillis, they're going to be A-OK. Because their good
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Democrat friends are going to make sure they get taken
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: care of with your money. With taxpayers' dollars. That's the game, folks.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I want to stop this merry-go-round. I want to get off.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: I want to stop this ride. I want to get off.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: I want to get back to being America. Don't you?
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Don't you? So, I'm sick and tired of accepting, well,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: it's the way it's always been. Whenever there's been a
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: president in power, his party has always lost in the midterms.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm sick of that. I'm sick of being
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: told this is the way it must be. You must
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: accept socialism. You must accept communism. You must look at
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Zorhan Mondani and stroke your chin thoughtfully and say, hey,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: how can I find middle ground with the Red-Green Alliance
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: instead of defeating it? The Red Green Alliance. Telephone numbers 901-260-5926.
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: 901-260-5926.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I want to start off here though. Where the rubber
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: meets the proverbial road, my friends. With your money. I
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: want to start off with your money. Now, I always
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: invariably get into trouble with a lot of you folks
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: out there who are dependent on that Ponzi scheme that
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: we call Social Security. And I'm wondering how many of
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: you know what Social Security truly is. Do you know?
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Do you know that Social Security has been one of
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: the mechanisms by which poverty has been preserved in the
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: United States? Did you know that?
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: By the way, Ted Cruz said it in my interview
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: with him yesterday. That poverty is an all-time low with
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: President Trump at the helm. And with the current Republican Congress.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Poverty is an all-time low. Did you guys know that?
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Of course you didn't. Because ABC, NBC, CBS fake news
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: and CNN and MSNBS, they didn't tell you. They're not
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: going to tell you. But indeed it is. Now, because
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: of the inflationary spiral, you're not feeling it because of
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: what's going on over in Iran, because of oil prices.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: But you will once the Iran conflict is over. But
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: by then, it'll probably have been too late if you
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: stay home. So back to Social Security. Social Security is
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: a Ponzi scheme. Let me ask you this. When your
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: money flies out of your pocket and goes into Social Security,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: is it your money anymore? When the government takes it
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: out of your paycheck, whose money is it? What happens
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: is that the federal government takes that money, dumps it
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: into the general fund, and then you are given an IOU.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: That's what Social Security is. How many of you think
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: that your money is going into a lockbox somewhere? Oh,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: it's not.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: It's not.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, it goes to pay current retirees.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Now that's fine when Social Security was invented. And by
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: the way, all of the lies that they told to
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: get it passed, none of those, I call them lies
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: because none of the promises made were ever kept. No,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: it was not ever confined or hardly ever confined within
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: for every one penny you'd pay, I think it was
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: like three cents or something like that would be matched
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: by the federal government, if I remember. I wrote an
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: article about this, folks, in PJ Media back in 2010.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: And you guys can look this all up. Every promise
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: made by the Social Security apparatus was broken, including it
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: being voluntary. How many of you think that Social Security
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: is voluntary? It's not, right? So, What this pay-as-you-go system
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: does is it sacrifices, takes all your money from today,
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: and pays off retirees. Again, fine when it's a 20-to-1 ratio,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: when you've got 20 workers to one retiree, which was
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: what was going on in the country at the time
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: when Social Security was crammed down our throats or up
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: the nearest orifice, right? That's what happened. Now, today, it
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: is four workers for every three retirees. That's the ratio.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: The last time I looked it up. Could be far
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: worse now.
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: Could.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Because remember. The Democrats. And the weak need Republicans.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: Allowed.
• 11:30
  Speaker 9: Us to.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Slaughter. 68 million children. Who will never see the light
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: of day. Who will never become. Grow up and become taxpayers.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Since 1973. That and we have a. a replacement rate
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: in the United States that sits about 1.6 to 1.7
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: children per couple. And that means that we're not replacing
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Americans at a sustainable rate. We need to be at
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: 1.9 or above. 1.9 is the bare bones minimum, folks.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: 1.9 children per couple in America. Even with our massive
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: illegal immigration, we're not keeping pace with our replacement rate.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Even with the massive criminal illegal influx into the United States.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: It's not keeping pace. So President Trump has come up
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: with a little bit of a lesson for all of
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: you to show you the error of our ways. And
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: he's doing it in a very, I'd say, crafty and
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: intelligent way to disarm you because the minute I start
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: saying Social Security, What do all of you retirees start doing?
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, you're going to take
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: away my Social Security?
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: It's not yours, by the way. If anything, it's your great-grandchildren.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: They're the ones who are going to be paying for you.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Your grandchildren, they're the ones getting into the workforce right now.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: If anything, it's their Social Security paying for you. They're
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: losing their Social Security to pay for you. You know,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: what kind of people, what kind of people endangers the
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: present to save, to save the future, endangers the future
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: to To preserve the present.
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: In other words.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: What kind of person says. You know what. I want
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: to impoverish my grandchildren. And my children right now. So
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: I can barely eke by. So I can allow government.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: To be the arbiter. Of my money. And their money.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: So at any rate. I understand. This is a sort
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: of Damocles. The government's been hanging over you. To keep
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: you impoverished. And keep you needing them. Because let me
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: ask you. Before I go to break. This question. If
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: you didn't rely on government for your meager crumbs off
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: the table, what would you need them for? They know this.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Democrats certainly know it. Some Republicans have bought into this. Folks,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: I'm going to explain the magic of Trump accounts and
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: what it means to actually solving the poverty crisis. We
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: can eliminate poverty in the United States in one generation.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: We could do it if we just... just gave the
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: America First Coalition a little more time. Chris Salcedo with
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: you here on the Todd Starnes Show. I'll be right back.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Welcome back, everybody. You're from the Todd Starnes Show and me,
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Chris Salcedo, sitting in your liberty-loving Latino. Unlike, don't confuse
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: me with loudmouth leftist Latinos out there, I actually love
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: my country, love my state, the great state of Texas
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: where I'm broadcasting you. And the United States of America. Folks,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: the political discussions we get into a lot, we neglect
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: to connect the dots as to what it's all about.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: And what it's all about is what the politics means
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: to you in your life. And one of the biggest
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: boondoggles in our nation's history has been Social Security. Let
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: me ask you, do you know what the rate of
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: return is? if you are black or brown on social security,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: the rate of return is negative. You get a negative
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: rate of return on the money that you're paying into
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: social security. If you're white and you're lucky, you get
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: a 1% rate of return. That's if you're lucky. And
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: that's because just actuarially speaking, folks, the whites are living
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: longer than black folks and brown folks. And as your
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Liberty loving Latino, that does, That doesn't make me feel
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: very good to know the United States government has been
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: forcing on me a negative rate of return on my
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Social Security dollars.
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: It's true.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: And isn't it amazing we're $ 40 trillion in debt and
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: yet even though President Trump has battled and got us
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: to the lowest poverty rate in U.S. history, we have
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: not eradicated poverty. We could. We could do so. How
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: many of you have heard of Trump accounts? Trump accounts
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: have been set up by the president. And what happens is,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: is you get $ 1, 000 put in to, by the way,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: the babies that are born after this Trump account was created.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Those are the only ones eligible. If you've got kids
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: who are five or six years old, they're not eligible
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: at this point. It's from Trump forward. So the American
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: taxpayers put $ 1, 000 into the baby's account. Now, what would
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: happen just if, and by the way, when the kids
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: reach adulthood, they get access to the account. What happens
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: if the parents, nobody else, just the parents puts in
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: $ 25 a month until the child turns 18? What do
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: you got at the end of it? Remember, it started
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: out with $ 1, 000 in the bank in this account. And
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: then you put 25 bucks in a month all the
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: way till the age of 18. How much will that
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: be worth? Well, you've got to know something called the
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: rule of 72, folks. The rule of 72 states the
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: rate of return divided into 72 is the number of
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: years it's going to take for your investment to double.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: So let's just say we look at the stock market. Traditionally,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: since it began, the stock market has performed between 10%
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: to 12% rate of return. Some years greater, some years smaller,
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: but on average, 10% to 12%. So let's use the 12%
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: because it's going to go into 72% a lot easier, right?
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: So you take 12 into 72, you get six. That
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: means every six years your money will double. So an
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: 18-year-old has three doubling periods in their lives from the
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: time they were born to the time they turn 18.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: I did a little programming with artificial intelligence folks and
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: basically put this formula in and said that if the
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: child's account were starting out at $ 1, 000 from Trump, 25
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: bucks a month from the parents. How much would it
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: be worth by the time they turn 18? That number
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: is $ 20, 000, folks. Now, many are going to say, wait
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: a minute, that's not wiping out poverty. Oh, no, no, no.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: I'm just getting started. I'll connect those dots next. Chris
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Alcedo in for Todd Starnes.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Glad you made it back, everybody.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Coming up next hour, top of next hour, we'll talk to,
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: or you'll hear my interview with the Attorney General of
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: the gray state of Texas, Ken Paxton. He is running
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: for Senate. He defeated a fake Republican in the primary,
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: a guy by the name of John Cornyn, who has
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: been betraying our state for many, many moons in the
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: state of Texas. That's where I'm broadcasting to you from, folks.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: I've been up close and personal watching this guy sell
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: us out to socialists for many, many moons. And so
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: now we've got a shot at sending an actual conservative
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: to the Senate to get things right. But all of
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: this stuff we're talking about has some impact on you.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: The policies have some impact on you. It's not just
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Republican versus Democrat. Look at the Social Security system we've
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: been talking about. Now, where I left off is with
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: the Trump accounts. And I'm going to get to where
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: I wanted to go, but I got a call waiting
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: and I want to get to him right away. The
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: name says German Shepherd, listening to KWAM. German Shepherd, welcome.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Welcome to the Todd Starnes Show with me, Chris Salcedo.
• 19:54
  Speaker 9: Thanks, Chris, for taking my call. I really appreciate you
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: stepping in for Todd and just a shout out to
• 20:01
  Speaker 9: Todd at GZLU. You're talking about Social Security. I would
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: also like to connect Section 8 Welfare that the Bible
• 20:10
  Speaker 9: teaches us who our provider is is who we worship.
• 20:14
  Speaker 9: And who we worship, that's what we become like. And
• 20:17
  Speaker 9: so many people, and we've seen how people that think
• 20:23
  Speaker 9: that the government is their provider and they worship the
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: government and how it's a bad master to be enslaved to.
• 20:30
  Speaker 9: We see how it's destroyed families, where the government becomes
• 20:35
  Speaker 9: the provider and a father is pushed out of the
• 20:37
  Speaker 9: house off the scene and it's amazing what people get
• 20:43
  Speaker 9: used to as they're enslaved in poverty and you know
• 20:48
  Speaker 9: even the Republicans and Democrats they're all telling us how
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: easy they can make our lives instead of how they
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: can what they're going to do to secure the future
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: of this country like securing social security and I'm just
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: thankful uh for you and your faith as uh you
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: shared yesterday uh and and it's important that we serve
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: the good master the lord jesus because he he's a
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: good uh a good master to be enslaved to yeah.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: And you know what the good news is he doesn't
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: try to enslave us the good news is uh that's
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: true freedom uh the natural state of mankind is freedom
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: and when you're beholdened to government, which is a terrible,
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: as you said, a terrible master. You're doing more than
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: walking away from your freedom. You're walking away from your faith.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: You cannot have two masters. You cannot serve two masters.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: And if you serve big government, you are not serving God.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: That's for sure. German Shepherd, thank you for the kind words.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Appreciate it. And what you said is very apropos to
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: what we're talking about. When I tell you about what
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: am I about ready to tell you? You're going to
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: be kind of angry. I'm going to tell you that
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: our government could have solved the poverty crisis. It could
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: have been solved. But they didn't.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: Because if they did, what do you need them for?
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: It was their job security, folks. Politicians in government didn't
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: allow you to escape poverty because certain elements of government
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: almost every democrat and sadly some republicans have bought into
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: this too they want you dependent so where we left
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: off with our scenario trump accounts and nikki minaj uh
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: you guys don't may may not know this name she's
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: a rapper and she was talking about trump accounts and
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: this was her take listen to this.
• 23:00
  Speaker 10: Many people can't you know they won't be 18 and
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: be able to say oh I have an account and I've,
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: you know, and, and friends and family have been putting
• 23:08
  Speaker 10: into this account since I was a baby. And now
• 23:11
  Speaker 10: I can invest from that account and I can learn
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: about trading and, you know, all that stuff. We didn't
• 23:16
  Speaker 10: have those opportunities when I was growing up. So to me,
• 23:20
  Speaker 10: it's a blessing. And I, and I love the fact
• 23:22
  Speaker 10: that my fan base, um, you know, they, they liked
• 23:26
  Speaker 10: the idea as well.
• 23:27
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Well, it, what, what's there not to like president Trump
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: says you can, the, the, the, The taxpayer is going
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: to give every child born in America $ 1, 000. By the way, folks,
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: that's a bargain. That's a bargain compared to what we
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: sign on to the entitlement state we sign on to
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: right now. That's a bargain compared to what Social Security
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: is taking out of our paychecks. Every single paycheck. $ 1, 000.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: And we already told you that if the parents just
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: contribute $ 25 a month, that that $ 1, 000 in 18 years
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: turns to $ 20, 000. And some of you say, well, that's
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: all well and good, and maybe the kid can get
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: a nice down payment on college or maybe one semester
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: of college. And by the way, government's interference has made
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: college way too expensive. Government interference makes everything way too expensive, folks.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: From our gas prices to everything else. Government is not
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: a help in that regard. It is always a hindrance.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: Always.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: So it is the wise politician who says it's best
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: to get the government the hell out of the way.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: So now, $ 20, 000. What if Trump, and I think this
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: is what he was trying to do, was to educate... Americans,
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: $ 1, 000 just turned into $ 20, 000 in 18 years. Imagine what
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: it would do from the moment you were born all
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: the way until you retired, 65, 67 years of age.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: So I plugged this into AI and said, do some
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: calculations for me. Remember, the average rate of return is
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: 10 to 12%. And that is accounting for Some markets
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: that are great. Some markets that are not so great.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: The ebbs and flows. When you have time, you can
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: weather those ebbs and flows as long as your investment remains. Now, folks,
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: this is the scenario. I'm going to change the scenario now.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Instead of 18, I'm going to say the child is born.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: They get $ 1, 000 from the Trump accounts from the taxpayers.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Then the parents and just the parents put in $ 25
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: a month until the age of 18, and then they stop.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: They just stop right there. No more parent, parent, and
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: then that account just sits there all the way until
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: the age of 65, 67. At the age of 18,
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: writes AI, the account would be worth roughly $ 20, 000. That
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: lump sum then compounds for another 47 years, about 6.5
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: doublings growing by a factor of roughly 90. Let me
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: just put it in perspective for you folks. 20,000 becomes 40,
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: 40 becomes 80, 80 becomes 160, which becomes 320, which
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: becomes 640 and so forth and so on. By the
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: time retirement age is reached, how much money has that
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Trump account? Again, just the parents putting 25 bucks a
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: month in from age born to 18 and the government
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: using taxpayer dollars to fund the account by a thousand
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: dollars upon birth. What is it worth by the time
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: it reaches retirement age? $ 1. 8 million.
• 26:59
  Speaker 12: That's it.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: And that's just one account. That doesn't take into account
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: whatever the child has done, male or female, in their
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: working career. By the way, if the kids were investing
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: into this account, they kept up that $ 25 discipline that
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: their parents had established installed where we're talking about a
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: huge amount of money. I should have run that by two.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: It's going to be even, even greater. But what you
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: just created was a millionaire, nearly a multimillionaire, 1.8 million.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: And again, that's not including pensions or IRAs or anything else.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: The child does outside of this one account. That's what
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: I mean by eliminating poverty. In one generation.
• 27:56
  Speaker 13: Now.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: That's called compound interest. And the wealthy. Including your politicians
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: have known about it. For decades. For actually over half
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: a century. For maybe even a better part of a century.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: It's knowing how money works. How interest works. How the
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: stock market works.
• 28:18
  Speaker 14: And.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: You were never given this education in school, in the
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: government-run education system. You were never given this education by
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: any Democrat politician, hell, any Republican politician. The only reason
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: I have knowledge of it is because I did financial
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: services for a time in another life before I got
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: into media. Well, actually, while I was in media. But
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: we could wipe out poverty within one generation. But your
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: government won't allow you to. Chuck Toomer won't allow you to.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Nancy Pelosi won't allow you to. AOC and Marxist Mondani,
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: they won't allow you to.
• 29:01
  Speaker 15: Why?
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: By the way, for those of you, I actually had
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: a friend of mine said his family member, if her
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: children were eligible, they're not, but if they were eligible
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: for the Trump accounts, that that she would have not
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: allowed it because she hates Trump so much she would
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: have screwed over her own children. Folks, if it was
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Obama setting up this account, I would take it for
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: my children. Because you see, I love my children more
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: than my politics. I love my children and their futures
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: more than I despise communists and socialists. But you're never
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: given the opportunity. Because you're told that it's just impossible.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: Understand that Social Security and what you're giving to the
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: government is no longer yours. It is theirs. And I'm
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: asking each and every one of you, if we have
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: a prayer... of seeing Trump accounts expanded. I mean, you
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: can't do anything about you folks that are in your
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: 50s and 60s like me. We can't do anything. But
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: we sure as hell can make sure that our children
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: aren't under the yoke of this slavery. And that's what
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: it is. Under the yoke of this slavery where our
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: own money is used to the benefit of others instead
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: of ourselves. We can make sure the next generation doesn't
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: have to go through this. You and I, and this
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: is what Trump is doing. Trump is laying a foundation
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: to where you and I have the ability, if we
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: can just get beyond steps one and two, look down
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: the road just a little bit further, I'm asking you,
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: and give the America First coalition a chance to make
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: real transformative change. But there are those who are saying, nope,
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: I'm not voting Republican because John Thune disappointed me. By
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: the way, calling John Thune a Republican, isn't that a stretch?
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Calling these fake Republicans in the Senate a Republican, isn't
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: that really a stretch? We'll discuss more about that. Coming
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: up on the other side of the break, you found
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: the Todd Starnes Show. Me, your liberty-loving Latino, Chris Salcedo,
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: sitting in. Be right back. You have found the Todd
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: Starnes Show, folks, and me, Chris Salcedo, filling in. By
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: the way, I want to let you guys know how
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: you can find me on social media. Just go to chrissalcedo.com, C-H-R-I-S-S-A-L-C-E-D-O.com, chrissalcedo.com.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: That's where I'm at. And you look in the social
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: media section, connect with me, and then you're going to
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: find all of our social media hookups out there. We're
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: on X. The big presence is on True Social. I
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: think we got 2.78 million folks on there. And, you know,
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: we just got back on to, just a couple of
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: years back, got back on to X 2.0. We left
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: communist Twitter and then got back on. So we had
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: to start all over again. And so we're battling to
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: move that social media needle back to where it needs
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: to be. And you folks can help by following us
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: up there. You know, I started out the program talking
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: about the Republicans Voters who are going to stay home.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: To punish. To punish the Republicans for not for basically
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: delivering for socialists. And what I want you all to
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: recognize is really who you're punishing will be yourself. Because
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: John Thune and John Cornyn and Karl Rove and. Brian
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: killed me. They are working to elect these communists and
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: these socialists. So if you stay home. You're actually fulfilling
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: what they want you to do. You're actually doing what
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: they want you to do. And President Trump has been
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: doing everything he can. And let's look at our successes, folks.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Bill Cassidy will not be returning to sell you out
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: anymore in Louisiana. Tom Tillis will not be returning to
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: sell you out in North Carolina. And John Cornyn will
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: not be selling me and mine out in Texas any
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: longer in the United States Senate. We've had some victories.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: We need more time. The best way to do that
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: is to make sure that Republicans keep the majority and
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: no socialist and Marxist majority is enjoyed anywhere in the
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: United States. Why? Because this kind of stuff will go
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: away if the socialists are in charge anywhere.
• 33:42
  Speaker 16: Listen.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: A department that's focused on the basics, the warrior ethos,
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: no more ideological garbage anymore, no more DEI garbage and
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: social engineering. That's all done. We don't do critical race theory.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: We don't do DEI. We do colorblind, gender neutral, merit-based.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Merit only. Discipline, accountability, readiness, training, lethality. That's it. If
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: it doesn't contribute to any of those things, we.
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: Don't want it.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: As the U.S. military should be. That is our Secretary
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: of War, Pete Hegseth. All the woke stuff is gone.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: And by the way, folks, Democrats are jonesing to bring
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: it back.
• 34:17
  Speaker 13: Why?
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: Because it's cultural Marxism. They implemented it. It's cultural Marxism,
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: and it made us a less lethal fighting force. It
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: made us less effective against enemies and adversaries abroad, like
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: communist China, like Iran and such. And thank God President
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: Trump has us back on the right track. But we
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: need to stay on the right track. Out there in
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: the People's Republic of California, folks. What have they been
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: doing out there? They've been taking all of your taxpayer dollars.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: By the way, these fake Republicans voted for all of it.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: I've said we can't allow fraud to be the defining
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: feature of government in the United States, but it is
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: under the Uniparty. All the aforementioned fake Republicans voted to
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: give all of this fraudulent money to the People's Republic
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: of California and listen to what they did with it.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: Well, Sandra, a major problem here is a lack of
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: oversight and accountability, and that comes down to politics, which
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: is who is minding the store.
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: In L.A., that's supposed to be the L.A.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: Homeless Services Authority, which yesterday took a hook to the
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: jaw when several of its providers were indicted by the feds,
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: who now.
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: Refuse to give the agency a nickel.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: Yesterday, HUD Secretary Scott Turner called out.
• 35:38
  Speaker 11: LASA has received $ 1 billion, and I want everybody to
• 35:42
  Speaker 11: hear this, a billion dollars of taxpayer money over five
• 35:45
  Speaker 11: years with zero results.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: Billion dollars to the People's Republic of California, folks. A
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: billion dollars to eliminate homelessness. And what has homelessness done
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: out there? Only increased. The Department of Education. How many
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: of you believe the Department of Education has been with
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: us since the founding? Oh, no, it's not. No, it's
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: not been with us. It was an invention of Jimmy
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: Carter in 1979. And you know what test scores have
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: done ever since the federal government stuck its big unwelcome
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: nose into government education? The test scores have done nothing
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: but go down. It would seem there's a corollary here
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: that all we're doing is flushing money down the toilet
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: in getting no results like we did in the People's
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Republic of California.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: Until last week, Mayor Karen Bass served on the LASA board.
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: She was invited but refused to attend a congressional oversight
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: hearing yesterday into the L.A.
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: Homeless problem. Yeah.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: Why would she attend? It indicts her. So, folks, there
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: are better things we can be doing with our money.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Not giving it to socialists is a good start. Ken Paxton,
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: Senate candidate, up next on the Todd Starnes Show.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: From Memphis, Tennessee, on the banks of the mighty Mississippi,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: it's America's conservative blowtorch.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: That's us, that's right. Our love is American, right. Todd Starnes.
• 37:33
  Speaker 16: Oh, yeah.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Folks, you got Chris Salcedo sitting in for Todd Starnes today.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: He's out there in the People's Republic of California. I'll
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: get back to that story and a lot more to
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: say about that. But I wanted to get to an interview,
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: and this is actually part and parcel of what we're discussing.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: There is an effort. We've been having some victories. You
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: folks out there in the Republican Party, in the conservative movement,
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: who think things aren't going fast enough. Look, we've got
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: eight years of Barack Hussein Obama. We've got four years
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: of Beijing Biden and President Autopen to wipe out. And
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: you're not going to do it with four years of
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: Trump interrupted by four years of Beijing Biden and four
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: more years of Trump. It ain't going to get it done.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: We need the time. We at least need to have
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: two more administrations of conservative Republican American administration before we
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: can fully recover from the damage done by socialists and
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: Marxists to this country, in my humble estimation. So I
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: am begging and pleading with all of you to basically
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: pull yourself up by your bootstraps and say, look, the
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: Republicans aren't perfect, but at least with them we have
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: a shot at We the people have a shot at
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: making a correction in this country. If they're not in
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: the majority, folks, if the Republicans are in the majority,
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: we have no chance. Because Democrats don't even care about
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: their own voters, much less you.
• 38:58
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: So look, I had an interview with Ken Paxton earlier today.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: This is how it sounded on the Chris Salcedo show
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: on Torch Audio. And so you guys can hear some
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: music and stuff like that. It was tightly edited, but
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: I couldn't get all of it out. So I just
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: want you guys to know this is recorded earlier today
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: on my morning show, but the themes we're going to
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: be touching on here are what I really want you
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: to pay attention to. Here's how it went.
• 39:27
  Speaker 9: All right, folks, welcome back.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: You found the Sal Sato Show. Let me get out
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: to my guest. He is the one, the only conservative
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: attorney general in the great state of Texas, Ken Paxton. Sir,
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: welcome back.
• 39:40
  Speaker 15: Good morning, Chris. Hope you're doing well today.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: Right back at you, sir. You're 9 to 5. You're
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: still doing your job for the great people of Texas.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: Texas is investigating Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Tell me
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: why that is.
• 39:54
  Speaker 14: Yeah, so typically our authority to investigate a company is
• 39:58
  Speaker 14: if they defraud, if they mislead, if they do.
• 40:02
  Speaker 15: Not tell the truth about... what they're actually offering.
• 40:05
  Speaker 14: In this case, we think they tell you that you're
• 40:08
  Speaker 14: paying premiums, but then when you actually try to make
• 40:11
  Speaker 14: claims on that coverage, they don't actually, they make it
• 40:15
  Speaker 14: very difficult for you actually to get that claim covered.
• 40:18
  Speaker 14: They make it almost impossible. So we're trying to understand
• 40:22
  Speaker 14: their processes and to make sure that they are not
• 40:26
  Speaker 14: defrauding the people of Texas who are paying millions of
• 40:29
  Speaker 14: dollars in premiums.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Now, I've been talking to a couple of medical professionals,
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: had them on as guests at shows, and this is
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: called down billing, a process called down billing. Let's say
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: you do a physical, and it's a level five, and
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: it costs you $ 150, and that's what's billed to the
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: insurance company. Through AI, this is the allegation, through AI,
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: they're kicking back 120 bucks for a level three physical.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: Is that kind of what you're investigating? Is that what
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: you're hearing as well?
• 40:56
  Speaker 14: Yeah, we're looking at all of that. We're looking at
• 40:59
  Speaker 14: just people not being able to get claims paid. We're
• 41:01
  Speaker 14: looking at whether they're doing things like you're talking about
• 41:03
  Speaker 14: down billing. We're just trying to figure out, are they
• 41:07
  Speaker 14: actually delivering on what they said they would deliver when
• 41:10
  Speaker 14: you pay these premiums every month? Because they're pretty expensive
• 41:13
  Speaker 14: for most people. They're a pretty big part of the budget.
• 41:16
  Speaker 14: And when you find out Things aren't covered or they
• 41:19
  Speaker 14: make it very hard for you to get them covered
• 41:21
  Speaker 14: or they're not fully covering them.
• 41:23
  Speaker 15: That's a problem.
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: Understood.
• 41:24
  Speaker 15: Understood.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, let's get on to your other job, which
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: is running for the United States Senate right now. Americans,
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: as you know, are having a bit of an affordability
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: issue right now, including fuel. So the Socialist Democrats are
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: running a guy who wants to destroy, who says he
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: wants to destroy Texas's oil and gas industry. How will
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: James Tallarico's prescription destroying oil and gas industry, how will
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: that make our energy prices lower?
• 41:53
  Speaker 14: Well, in combination with him trying to pass a bill
• 41:56
  Speaker 14: that literally would have dismantled the oil and gas industry
• 42:00
  Speaker 14: because it would have had so strict emission standards that
• 42:03
  Speaker 14: they couldn't have been met.
• 42:04
  Speaker 15: That was his bill.
• 42:05
  Speaker 14: He tried to pass it and he backed it up
• 42:08
  Speaker 14: by saying you cannot be a Christian and support the
• 42:11
  Speaker 14: oil and gas industry. On top of that, He voted
• 42:14
  Speaker 14: for state income tax for all of us and voted
• 42:17
  Speaker 14: for every tax he could. And on top of that,
• 42:20
  Speaker 14: he said that capitalism is oppressive and that we need
• 42:26
  Speaker 14: to dismantle it. This is a guy that is, I mean, communist, socialist,
• 42:31
  Speaker 14: whatever you want to call him. Now he's running a
• 42:33
  Speaker 14: course as a conservative Republican because he doesn't want voters
• 42:36
  Speaker 14: to know the truth about what he actually said and believes.
• 42:40
  Speaker 16: Indeed.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: And I'm going to play because I'm leading somewhere with this.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: I'm going to play a soundbite. You're not going to
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: be able to hear, but I know you've, I know
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: you've seen it and I know you've watched it. This
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: is Hassan Piker and Hassan Piker is going to tell
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: you what he wants. And of course he, he's backing
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: James Tallarico. He's backing Abdul Al-Sayed. He's backing these, the
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: red green Alliance, the communists and the socialists who are
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: winning in Democrat primaries. He wants China style gulags in
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: the United States. I'm going to play the soundbite. for the,
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: for the audience. And I'm going to ask you to give,
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: give me your reaction.
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: Standby.
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: Listen, I will throw you in prison.
• 43:18
  Speaker 15: Okay.
• 43:19
  Speaker 13: I want to put you physically behind a prison. I
• 43:24
  Speaker 13: want Chinese style communism to happen inside of the democratic
• 43:28
  Speaker 13: party right now.
• 43:30
  Speaker 15: Okay.
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: I want to do cultural revolution shit.
• 43:32
  Speaker 13: When I see that.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: Cultural revolution excrement, he wants to throw his political opponents in,
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: in prison and, Your reaction just to Hassan Piker, the
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: guiding spirit for a lot of these Democrat candidates across
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: the country.
• 43:48
  Speaker 14: I think it exposes exactly what they want to do.
• 43:51
  Speaker 14: Their hostility towards our Constitution, their hostility towards our way
• 43:54
  Speaker 14: of life, their hostility towards America and wanting to remake
• 43:59
  Speaker 14: it in a. more socialistic, communistic mode. And I think
• 44:05
  Speaker 14: it's pretty clear from him, he's the out front guy.
• 44:08
  Speaker 15: He says all the stuff out loud.
• 44:11
  Speaker 14: And guys like James Tallarico, who have been saying it
• 44:13
  Speaker 14: out loud, now covered up as they try to trick
• 44:17
  Speaker 14: Texans into believing they're just a regular politician, regular Democrat
• 44:21
  Speaker 14: politician who's sort of moderate and not going to do
• 44:25
  Speaker 14: anything extreme. But that's the reality is that Hassan Piker is,
• 44:29
  Speaker 14: is in the mode of, of James Tallereak, a hundred percent.
• 44:32
  Speaker 16: Indeed.
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: And you know, you and I have had this conversation
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: many moons, and there are a lot of Republican voters
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: and a lot of conservatives who say, look, if this
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: is what the Democrats are going to do, we ought to,
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: and they've asked you in your, in your capacity as
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: attorney general, they've asked you as a member of the,
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: the Texas legislature, they've, they've said, look, if the Democrats
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: are going to go extra constitutional, like Barack Obama did,
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: if they're going to, start throwing our people in jail
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: as Joe Biden did and Beijing Biden did during the
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: presidency of Autopen, then conservatives like yourself, you've got to
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: take off the gloves. You've got to go extra constitutional.
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: You've got to break the law to basically give these
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: Democrats a taste of their own medicine. And you've always
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: had the same answer to me. But I want you
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: to repeat this for all of these left-wingers and these
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: socialists out there. And also for Republicans and conservatives, what
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: is your take when you're being asked to violate the
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: constitutional rights and the law the way the Democrats are doing?
• 45:38
  Speaker 15: I certainly understand the frustration.
• 45:40
  Speaker 14: And I always tell people that we are at a
• 45:43
  Speaker 14: huge disadvantage to the other side because we are limited
• 45:45
  Speaker 14: by the truth, the law and decency. If we go
• 45:49
  Speaker 14: outside of that, and that means they have a lot
• 45:52
  Speaker 14: more tools. They can lie, they can cheat, they can
• 45:55
  Speaker 14: try to steal elections. They have a wide array of tools.
• 45:58
  Speaker 14: They have a huge advantage in trying to win these
• 46:00
  Speaker 14: elections and win other things. But if we step down
• 46:05
  Speaker 14: to that level, then we've lost our Constitution anyway.
• 46:07
  Speaker 15: And now it's just a power fight, right?
• 46:09
  Speaker 14: It's just who's got the most power if we're no
• 46:12
  Speaker 14: longer confined by what the right thing is, which is
• 46:14
  Speaker 14: our Constitution protecting our rights. And so I've always said
• 46:17
  Speaker 14: I've always resisted that, even though I understand the frustration.
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: And so I'm to understand that if you are elected senator,
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: there is no circumstance in which you will sign on
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: to the abandonment of the Constitution or the abandonment of
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: the rule of law.
• 46:32
  Speaker 15: Absolutely not.
• 46:33
  Speaker 14: It is the highlight of modern civilization in this country.
• 46:38
  Speaker 14: The greatest in the history of the world because of
• 46:41
  Speaker 14: that constitution.
• 46:43
  Speaker 15: Indeed.
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: As you know, there are fake Republicans out there working
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: to elect communists. And then there are the spirited Republican
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: voters out there who have seen what John Thune and
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: the 22 fake Republicans in the United States Senate have done,
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: basically running out the clock and making sure that the
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: America First agenda isn't codified into law. What is your
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: message to both of them? I asked Senator Cruz this yesterday.
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: What is your message to those, A, those fake Republicans
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: who are working to elect communists? I mean, one of
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: them is out there saying that he is going to
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: vote Democrat in Texas and Another one of them refuses
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: to back you in your effort, even though he claims
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: to be a Republican. And then, of course, the voters
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: out there who look at what John Thune has done
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: and say, my gosh, what good is it voting for
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: a Republican when all they do is help Democrats? Give
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: us your message to those people.
• 47:46
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, for those who are out helping elected Democrats,
• 47:51
  Speaker 14: especially right now, when you consider you know that right
• 47:55
  Speaker 14: now our party the republican party is far as far
• 47:58
  Speaker 14: from the east is from the west with these democratic
• 48:00
  Speaker 14: socialists we're not talking about uh we're just going to
• 48:03
  Speaker 14: make a minor change here so if you're a republican
• 48:05
  Speaker 14: no matter who you are and you're out supporting these
• 48:09
  Speaker 14: democrats there's no way you align with being a republican
• 48:12
  Speaker 14: you're not really a republican there's no way that you
• 48:16
  Speaker 14: you're not even really a democrat you're a socialist communist
• 48:19
  Speaker 14: and so It's one thing to say you're a Republican.
• 48:23
  Speaker 15: It's another thing to act like one.
• 48:25
  Speaker 14: And unfortunately, as you know, we have Washington politicians who
• 48:30
  Speaker 14: tell us they're Republicans. But when it comes down to
• 48:34
  Speaker 14: the hard questions, suddenly they can't be with us. Suddenly
• 48:38
  Speaker 14: they have to go the other way to make a
• 48:41
  Speaker 14: point about their own personal power. And that's what's going
• 48:43
  Speaker 14: on here. So as far as the Senate Republicans, I mean, yes,
• 48:47
  Speaker 14: it's frustrating because we have several in there, I could
• 48:51
  Speaker 14: name them, you could name them, who aren't really with behavior.
• 48:56
  Speaker 15: And with their votes. They're not voting Republican. Those people
• 49:00
  Speaker 15: have to be replaced. I mean, that's why I ran.
• 49:04
  Speaker 14: I felt like it was time for a change because
• 49:06
  Speaker 14: we were not getting what we were being promised. And
• 49:09
  Speaker 14: that is up to the voters of each state to
• 49:12
  Speaker 14: recognize that and find people that will go make that
• 49:15
  Speaker 14: make that change because we have the opportunity to do
• 49:17
  Speaker 14: what we elect people.
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: Ted Cruz said the same thing yesterday, said if you
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: have a problem with the way the Republicans are behaving,
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: get better Republicans. And that's what the state of Texas
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: has done in sending Ken Paxton up to Washington, D.C.,
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: rather than the guy that used to be in there.
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: Ken Paxton, the conservative attorney general of the great state
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: of Texas, folks, Senate candidate. If folks want to support
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: your efforts, Mr. Attorney General, where can they go?
• 49:43
  Speaker 15: Ken Paxton dot com. We need all the help you
• 49:45
  Speaker 15: can give us. Any donation is awesome or you can volunteer.
• 49:49
  Speaker 15: So we need your help.
• 49:50
  Speaker 14: We've got five weeks left, three weeks, less than three
• 49:52
  Speaker 14: weeks until early voting starts. This is a critical election
• 49:56
  Speaker 14: for the survival of our state and our country.
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: Amen, it is, sir. And make sure you keep us
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: posted and get back here as soon as you can
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: if you've got any updates. Ken Paxton, sir, thank you.
• 50:06
  Speaker 15: Thank you.
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: Okay, kids, that's how it went. I've got to get
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: to a break. I'm a little long here, but when
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: we get back, I'd love to hear your reaction on
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: how he handled this. This is something that's pretty much
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: been on my mind. The existential threat that the Red-Green
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: Alliance poses to this country and what we as a
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: people are prepared to do about it. You got Chris
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: Salcedo sitting in on the Todd Starnes Show. Be right back. America.gov.
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: Going online, folks. This is a massive streamline in efficiency
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: of the federal government. This Leviathan that Both parties have
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: allowed to grow beyond the consent of the governed. I
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: have to give a hat tip to the Trump administration
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: and to the brainiacs who put together using AI. Just
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: one example of things that you can do, folks. You're
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: able to now, if a woman gets married, she can
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: change one form, change her name, have it all verified,
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: change her name, and then it changes across government. So
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: it'll all be changed simultaneously. It won't. It won't be
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: that you have to go to every agency, fill out
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: every form of every agency to get your name changed.
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: It's all done on one spot. America.gov went live today.
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: President Trump making that happen as he signed it into
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: law or created the executive order, I should say, executive
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: order to consolidate federal services into America.gov. America.gov will be
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: your one-stop shop in dealing with the federal government, which
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: is Well, you know, what makes us deal with the
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: federal government less and less and less is a good thing,
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: I'm going to say. It's a good thing. So, look,
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: I know that this interview with Ken Paxton, many of
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: you folks listening are in different states, but it doesn't
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: matter whether you're in Michigan or Iowa. It doesn't matter
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: if you're in Texas. These Marxists and these socialists are
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: all the same. Let me just I'm going to get
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: back to that story out of California, folks. I'll probably
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: get that out of the bottom of the hour here.
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: And they've got Mary Walter coming in at the top
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: of next hour. So I'll get back to California in
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: a second. But I'm just going to take a little
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: departure here to let you know about everything the Democrats
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: want to do to you. And I'll go to Iowa,
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: the Senate race there. Joshua Turek says he wants foreigners
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: to take Iowa jobs. Listen to this. Amen.
• 52:54
  Speaker 16: This is an area that we really need to have
• 52:57
  Speaker 16: a healthy and robust immigration program.
• 52:59
  Speaker 17: You've got around 41% of the direct care workers that
• 53:03
  Speaker 17: are immigrants. And so I think we also need an
• 53:06
  Speaker 17: easier pathway to earn citizenship.
• 53:10
  Speaker 15: So that we can bring in more workers.
• 53:12
  Speaker 16: Not only for that industry, but as well for the
• 53:14
  Speaker 16: agriculture industry and the meatpacking plants.
• 53:17
  Speaker 15: I mean, this is a state that's really, really struggling.
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: So if you live in Iowa... They don't want to.
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: The Democrats don't want to employ you. They want to
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: bring in foreign nationals. And notice how the Senate wannabe
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: did not say, you know, we're going to make sure
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: that they assimilate and become Americans. He just wants to
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: give them citizenship. They can keep their the values from
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: the the countries they come in from, like, for example, China.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: Or Iran.
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: Or Pakistan.
• 53:53
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: Keep those same values. Come on in here. And no
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: insistence on being an American. I mentioned John Cornyn several
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: times today, folks. He's a fake Republican who was defeated
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: finally in the state of Texas. The guy that's running
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: for his job was asked about him. Listen to this.
• 54:17
  Speaker 18: If John Cornyn himself chose to endorse you, is that
• 54:21
  Speaker 18: support that you would welcome?
• 54:23
  Speaker 6: Oh, absolutely.
• 54:23
  Speaker 13: I am.
• 54:26
  Speaker 6: I'm running for his seat in the U.S. Senate.
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: Excuse me. No, I'm sorry, Mr. Tallarico. That seat belongs
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: to we, the people. It's not his seat. It's not
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: your seat. You can stick it up your seat.
• 54:41
  Speaker 12: It's ours.
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: It belongs to the American people.
• 54:46
  Speaker 6: I'm running for his seat in the U.S.
• 54:48
  Speaker 14: Senate.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: And whether he endorses me or not, I will seek
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: his counsel.
• 54:53
  Speaker 6: I will seek his guidance in doing this big, important job.
• 54:57
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: He's going to seek out the Republican, the alleged Republican
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: current senator of Texas. God help us all. As a
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: socialist and Marxist Democrat, what you all probably don't know
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: is staff from Cornyn's office has left their comfortable digs
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: in Washington to And you know where they've gone, folks?
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: They've joined James Tallarico's campaign because apparently John Cornyn's values
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: are the same as James Tallarico's values. This is what
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: we're up against. Bill Maher has something to say about
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: the socialists, and we'll get back to California up next.
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: Todd Starnes Show. So a perfect transition back out to
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: the People's Republic of California, folks, is Bill Maher. I've
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: been demonstrating, I hope, praise God to all of you.
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: Every step that we have taken in this country towards
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: socialism and communism has been to the detriment of the society.
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: We have not improved in this country as certain Republicans
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: have retreated or sold out. And the socialists and Marxists
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: have become increasingly anti-American. And by the way, if you're
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: a socialist and you're a communist, you are by definition
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: not an American. You cannot be an American and be
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: a communist. Folks, I hope you understand that. I said
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: it yesterday on Todd's show. I said, if you are
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: a Democrat, you can be a faithful Democrat or you
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: can be a faithful Christian. You cannot be both.
• 56:43
  Speaker 18: Why?
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: Because we know Democrats believe in their sacrament of abortion.
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: And no real Christian believes in that. Did I tell
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: this story? I told it so often. There was somebody
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: out in a newsroom that I used to be a
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: part of out in Southern California who declared to the
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: entire newsroom that she had had three abortions. And she
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: was proud of it. Those are three lives that will
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: never see a sunrise, three lives that will never draw breath.
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: To all you Democrats who say you care about the
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: ability for people to pay taxes, they'll never be a taxpayer, right?
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: So I just want to be very plain about what
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: I'm speaking about here. The You can be a good
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: Christian or you can be a good Democrat. You can't
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: be both. You can be a communist or a socialist,
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: but you cannot be an American while you're one of those.
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: You can be a good American or you can be
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: a communist and a socialist. You cannot be both. So
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: I think as we have turned away from our Constitution,
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: much the way you could say the same thing as
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: we have turned away from the Christian ethic that informed
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: that Constitution, our our fortunes in this country have dimmed.
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: And I think that we ought to be about pivoting
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: away from socialists and Marxists and the Democrat Party and
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: pivoting back to being Americans. That way our lives can improve.
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: It's kind of that simple. But let's do, as we've
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: been connecting the dots, we've already established the Democrats want
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: to jail you if you don't believe in their communism, right?
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: Hassan Piker provided us with that. But Bill Maher, who
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: is a traditional left-winger, a traditional liberal, folks, he's looking
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: at what the DSA is selling. As a matter of fact,
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: I should probably do two of these sound bites because
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: there's one, I think it's from the same show, folks.
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: Let me just go ahead and dig for this. By
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: the way, if you want to call in and you
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: want to talk about anything we've talked about, 901-260-5926.
• 58:56
  Speaker 18: 901-260-5926.
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: Put you in touch with me, Chris Salcedo, on the
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: Todd Starnes Show. So let me just go ahead and
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: my archive here and I'll look up Bill Maher because
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: he's been doing some, actually he's been messaging far better
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: than the Republican party has. And well, okay, here's, here's
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: Bill Maher confirming the Democrat party has been taken over
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: by communists.
• 59:29
  Speaker 17: Listen, And finally, new rule, Donald Trump has told one
• 59:32
  Speaker 17: trillion lies, but when he says the democratic socialists of
• 59:35
  Speaker 17: America are actually communist, that's not one of them. And
• 59:39
  Speaker 17: it's not hard to prove it, just by quoting the
• 59:41
  Speaker 17: DSA and their candidates. keeps going in the direction of
• 59:47
  Speaker 17: the DSA, my vote was in play. And all I
• 59:50
  Speaker 17: heard all vacation was, oh, my God, you're a Republican now. No,
• 59:54
  Speaker 17: that's not what I said. I said in play. And
• 59:57
  Speaker 17: here's why. Because not a week goes by where I
• 59:59
  Speaker 17: don't read about some newly chosen, exciting new face in
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 17: the Democratic Party. And then when that face opens its mouth,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 17: the Communist Manifesto or some other crazy shit comes out.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 6: Again, let's just read the quotes.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 17: The DSA platform says your work, you work as much
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 17: as you are able and no more than needed. If
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 17: that was any closer to Karl Marx's dictum from each
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 17: according to his abilities to each according to his needs,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 17: they'd be sued for plagiarism. New York Mayor Mondani once
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 17: tweeted Karl Marx's words exactly. They're not trying to hide it.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 17: Their most popular influencer, Hassan Piker, thinks communism is so groovy.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 17: He laments the fall of the two of the most
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 17: murderous regimes in history, the Soviet Union and Chairman Mao's China.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 6: Mandami's aide, his top.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 17: Aide, Sia Weaver, said if you don't believe in the
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 17: government's sacred right to seize property, it's over and impoverish
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 17: the white middle class.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 14: What?
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 17: That's a that's a goal. You know you're supposed to
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 17: scare people into voting for you, right?
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 6: That's right.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: That's what she said, folks. They want... By the way,
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: she's white. We've got to impoverish the white middle class.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: That's their goal. And you know what? Frankly, folks, I
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: take them at their word. Why is it do you
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: think John Thune doesn't? Why is it you think that.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: All of these fake Republicans who turned their back on 84%
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: of the country and securing our elections, why do you
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: think they don't believe these socialists and Marxists? They didn't
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: believe Obama, and look what he did to us. They
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: didn't believe that Joe Biden was three burritos short of
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: the combination plate, and somebody was running this country into
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: the ground for the four years he occupied the Oval Office, right?
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: President Autopin. We found out that Adam Schiff The liar,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: Adam Schiff, had accessed the presidential auto pen, illegally so,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: but nothing happens to him, right? I just put this
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: up on X, folks. Just found out that the Inquisitor,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: Jack Smith, that he actually commandeered, got 5,000 copies of
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: personal checks, 5,000 personal checks of individuals who donated to
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: President Trump. Are you one of them? How is this legal?
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: Why is Inquisitor Jack Smith at least not been charged?
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: Many of us are asking this. Why has he not
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: been charged? I mean, for the love of all that's holy.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: But these people are for real. If you give them power,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: they are going after you, putting you in jail, impoverishing
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: the white middle class.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 14: Wow.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 17: One of the new soon-to-be Democratic congresspeople, Darlesia Chevalier, supports
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 17: seizing all properties from landlords and said seize the means
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 17: of production. Mendami has said the end goal is seizing
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 17: the means of production. I think they want to seize
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 17: the means of production. Now, maybe you missed that in
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 17: school or missed school altogether, but that's communism. Now the
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 17: coalition within the DSA called the Marxist Unity Group is
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 17: in ascendance. And I must take them at their word
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 17: when their words include, our commitment is to the long-term
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 17: struggle for a fully liberated classless society in a word, communism.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 6: What do they do? Tweet out, elect more communists? Oh yeah,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 6: Sia Weaver did that.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 6: Good, I'm glad you're shocked.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: Did you hear that?
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 11: Did you hear?
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: He said.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: What are they going to do?
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: Tweet out, elect more communists? Yeah, Sia Weaver did. Quote,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: elect more communists, she put out on a tweet. And
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: the audience there, let's remember, folks, these are mostly Democrats
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: in Bill Maher's audience. Bill Maher has mostly left-wingers. He
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: may have a few now conservatives in there because Bill
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: Maher's been talking about going against socialists and communists and
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: promoting free speech. So some conservatives might be finding their
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: way to him. But but why can see a weaver
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: be one of these individuals who is influential in the
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: Democrat Party right now, who is part? I think she's
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: with Mandani, right? She is saying elect more communists, but ABC, NBC,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: CBS won't report that. Why not? Why does it take
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 3: Bill Maher to report that? Why does it take your
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: liberty-loving Latino here to report that? Why won't they? And
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: you heard the shock in a Democrat audience that watches ABC, NBC,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: CBS fake news, CNN, MSNBS. They watch those. They had
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: no idea this is what the Democrats are all about,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: that they're communists, that they're anti-American communists. And you heard
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: the gasps. And Bill Maher says, yeah, I'm glad. I'm
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: glad you're shocked. It should shock you that you've got
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: John Thune and 21 fake Republicans. And the reason I
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: say 21 is because one has passed away who were
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: doing their best to grease the skids for these socialists.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: And I'm telling you right now, folks, we won't have
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: a chance to replace those fakes if the socialists take
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: over any form of government. Was that enough for you?
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: How about this from Bill Maher about the Democrat Socialists
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: of America?
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 17: Have you seen the platform from the Democratic Socialists of America?
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 17: They ask us to imagine a future without capitalism, where
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 17: your job isn't just a job to pay bills. And
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 17: then they say, speaking of bills, you don't really have
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 17: them anymore.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 6: No bills. I'm listening. I'm listening to insanity, but I'm listening.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 7: I'm listening.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 17: Their website says in the future, you don't pay a
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 17: mortgage or have a landlord because comfortable housing is a
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 17: human right.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 17: So the government pays for all housing for everyone everywhere.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Isn't that great, folks?
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: And if the government determines, hey, you for your family
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: of four, you need only a one bedroom house because
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 3: that's all the government can afford.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: Guess what?
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: That's what you take. That's comfortable housing. Of course, comfortable,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: comfortable is subjective. By the way, there was no prayer
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: they have of delivering this, folks, as Bill Maher's about
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: ready to explain.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 6: That sounds like it could be a little pricey. Oh,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 6: not just housing? Also health insurance? Food? Education? Medicine? Transportation?
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 6: Free daycare? Free universal daycare? Just day? What about.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 17: What about night? What are parents supposed to do at night?
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 17: See their kids?
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 17: Just how much will this heaven on earth cost? Well,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 17: the estimates are between $ 72 trillion and $ 212 trillion, which,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 17: of course, Debbie Downer economists say will cause astronomical inflation, whatever.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 6: Well, then give everyone more money. Think of it as
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 6: stimulus for the wheelbarrow industry.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: You know what he means by that. Remember in the
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: dark days of the World War and we came out
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: on top after those dark days? The vanquished economies like Germany,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: their currency was worthless because they had printed up all
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: this money. And when you print up more money, folks,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: it devalues your currency. They were taking wheelbarrows full of
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 3: cash to go get loaves of bread because the money
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 3: was so worthless. And that's exactly when you spend $ 212
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 3: trillion today. to provide their socialist Marxist utopia. There isn't
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: enough money to do all of that. So apparently there's
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: going to be some cutting that is done. And guess what?
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: When you've given up all your rights and all of
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: your power and all your authority to a mindless, senseless government,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: guess where they're going to start cutting first?
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 16: Them?
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 15: No.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 16: You.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 9: You.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: Which leads me back to the People's Republic of California.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: I'll get to it the other side of the break.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: You got the Todd Starnes Show with me, Chris Salcedo.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 14: Be right back.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: Just got word that Todd Starnes was speaking to the
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: Speaker of the House. Speaking to the Speaker, folks. We'll
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: play that interview for you coming up next hour along
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: with our visit with Mary Walter. You got Chris Salcedo
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: sitting in for Todd Starnes on the Todd Starnes Show. So,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm going to start this Karl Rove, Never
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: Trump Network story over again, folks. About a billion dollars
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: that was sent to California. To fight homelessness. And you
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 3: know how many homeless people that it stopped?
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 12: Zero.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, homelessness has done nothing but
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: go up since that billion of billions or millions of
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: dollars to up to a billion dollars has been flowing
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: over there so that means where'd all that money go
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 3: it went into the pockets of democrats folks listen a
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: major problem here is a lack of oversight and accountability
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: and that comes down to politics which is who is
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: minding the store in L.A.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 4: That's supposed to be the L.A. Homeless Services Authority, which
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 4: yesterday took a hook to the jaw when several of
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 4: its providers were indicted by the feds, who now refuse
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 4: to give the agency a nickel. Yesterday, HUD Secretary Scott
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 4: Turner called out.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 11: LASA has received $ 1 billion, and I want everybody to
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 11: hear this, a billion dollars of taxpayer money over five years.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 6: With zero results.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 4: Until last week, Mayor Karen Bass served on the LASA board.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 4: She was invited but refused to attend a congressional oversight
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 4: hearing yesterday into the L.A.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 6: Homeless problem. If Washington wanted to help, they wouldn't cut
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 6: our resources.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 3: What? Cut our resources? Wait a minute. They're cutting your
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 3: resources because apparently the resources were not used for the
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 3: stated purpose. Else, we would see a reduction in homelessness.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: But all we have seen is an increase in homelessness.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: That means the $ 1 billion has been wasted, Karen Bass,
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: because I would bet you dollars to donuts it went
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: to a bunch of your left-wing cronies. to pay off
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 3: a bunch of your political constituencies rather than actually helping
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: homeless people. Los Angeles is not going to be bullied
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: by a extremist Republican cops.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 14: Okay.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: An extremist Republican cop bullied. So if you don't give
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: a billion dollars to Democrats to do with as they
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: see fit to, to solve the homeless problem and not
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: one homeless person has helped. And in fact, the homeless
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 3: population only grows, that's how you bully somebody? If you're
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 3: demanding results for the taxpayers' money, that's bullying?
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 6: But it's not just Republicans.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 4: The Democrat-dominated L.A. County Board of Supervisors also refuses to
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 4: fund LASA, which doles out up to a billion dollars annually,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 4: yet recent homeless numbers in Los Angeles went up, not down.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 3: The city has budgeted about $ 4.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 6: 4 billion....
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: Since 2022, and there's been little to almost no accountability.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 8: With the worsening homelessness problem, particularly in L.A., it is
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 8: shameful that the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, refused
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 8: to show up today.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: Wow. The last one was Nancy Mace, but the other
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: one was the Democrat city council saying, yeah, but where
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: do the money go? Where it always goes when Democrats
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 3: run things, folks, into their cronies' pockets.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 4: Yesterday, the feds indicted three for fraud and skimming some
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 4: $ 18 million intended for the homeless, including Michael Young, who
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 4: allegedly stole $ 7 million for luxury vacations, cars, clothes, a nightclub,
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 4: and bingo hall. Another defendant, Donya Mitchell, allegedly used grant
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 4: money to pay his bail.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: It's funny in a way, isn't it, folks?
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 13: I mean.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 3: As I have always said, the Democrat Party is the
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 3: party of the criminals, of, by, and for the criminals.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you a quick story. In Texas, there
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 3: was a guy by the name of Representative Reynolds, and
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: he was reelected as he sat in a jail cell.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 3: That's what Democrat voters... That's how much attention they pay
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 3: and how much they care about what they do to
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 3: the country, folks.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 15: They.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: If it's a criminal, it's a resume enhancement for the
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 3: Democrat voter.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 8: The complaint alleges that Young used a web of shell
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 8: corporations and fraudulent billing practices to misappropriate millions of dollars
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 8: in taxpayer funds earmarked for homeless housing.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 4: Last year, a Clinton-appointed federal judge called oversight in Los
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 4: Angeles dysfunctional and cited several examples of, quote, obvious fraud.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 4: So politically, Sandra, this has been a defining issue for
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 4: Mayor Bass.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 6: We'll see what voters think in November.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 3: And that's the perfect segue into what I've been talking about.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 3: You know, I can guarantee you folks, yes, it is
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: true that fake Republicans like John Cornyn, fake Republicans like
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 3: like Mitch McConnell and Tom Cotton, that they have seen
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: fit to use your money, your hard-earned money, to basically
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 3: placate their good Democrat friends and allow this level of corruption.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 3: But right now, President Trump is starting to claw some
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: of that money back for us. I'll talk about that.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: We need to give him a little more time. We
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: need the America First coalition in there a lot longer
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 3: than just four years or two years, folks. Hour 3
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: of Todd Starnes' show coming up next with Chris Salcedo.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: From Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun-toting, Bible-clinging, deplorable American.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: That's us. That's right. I love this American ride.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 6: Todd Starnes.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. Hour 3 of the Todd Starnes Show. Glad
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: you tuned into the program, folks. You've got me, Chris Salcedo.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: For those of you... who may have lost track of
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: me since I walked away from network television. I am
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 3: located at a place called torch audio. Glenn Beck has
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 3: started a new venture and that's a, where we have landed.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 3: We're still doing a lot of stuff on video, but
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 3: to access that, you've got to go to chrissalcedo.com, and
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 3: you'll find all the links there. All of our social
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: media hookups are there. Everything you need to find me, chrissalcedo.com, C-H-R-I-S-S-A-L-C-E-D-O. And,
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 3: you know, Torch Audio is going to be making its
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: mark relatively shortly. So, matter of fact, I'm told, I
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 3: would estimate we're about 35% down. capacity right now we've
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 3: been broadcasting for about about a month now and then
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: uh really getting the the shot in the arm coming
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: up next monday from what i'm told so everybody uh
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: just keep your eyes peeled glennbeck.com and uh that's where
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: you will be able to find out if you want
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 3: to keep track of what i'm doing as always we're
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: keeping track of what todd stars is doing todd stars
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: is out in california he's speaking with faith leaders out
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: there and the belly of the beast, as it were.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 3: I guess you go to save sinners, and boy, there
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 3: are a hell of a lot of them out there.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: The People's Republic of California. So Todd's out there, and
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 3: he just so happened to bump into the Speaker of
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 3: the House, Mike Johnson. And this is how their conversation went. Listen.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 6: Well, Mr.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 12: Speaker, I know that so many of the pastors here
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 12: wish you could be at the Spiritual Leadership Conference here
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 12: at Lancaster Baptist Church, but you're on the road. And
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 12: I know a lot of pastors are wondering what they
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 12: can do, how their congregations can be involved in getting
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 12: out the vote.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 19: Well, thanks for asking, Todd. I do wish I could
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 19: be with you. I'm in the middle of a nonstop
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 19: six-week campaign swing. I'll be in 22 states and 40
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 19: different congressional districts between now and election night, which is
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 19: 36 days from today. But who's counting? But listen, that's
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 19: a really, really important question. And I think this is arguably...
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 19: maybe the most important time for people of faith to
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 19: be engaged, to really live out our faith in the
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 19: public square, and to be involved in our civic affairs.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 19: I mean, I believe, and you do, and I'm sure
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 19: everyone there, understands the necessity of our engaging the culture
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 19: and being salt and light. And this election cycle gives
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 19: us almost an unprecedented opportunity to do just that. And
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 19: the reason is because in this fateful midterm election, on
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 19: the 250th anniversary of the greatest nation in the history
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 19: of the world, Todd, you and I both know we
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 19: are spending the completely different worldview, a philosophy that's marked them,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 19: that would destroy those very foundations. So now is the
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 19: time for people of faith to step forward, for Christians
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 19: to stand up, Speak the truth in love, but do
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 19: it with clarity, conviction, and consistency right now more than
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 19: ever before.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 6: I know Dr.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 12: Paul Chappell, who is the pastor at Lancaster Baptist and
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 12: the president of West Coast Baptist College, has really been
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 12: encouraging church planning, especially in California and the western part
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 12: of the United States. And I know it's got to
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 12: be tough for these pastors because they're out there on
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 12: the front lines. What's your message of encouragement to the
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 12: pastors here?
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 19: Well, now's the time for the people of God to
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 19: be led by the shepherds.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 15: I mean, truly.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 19: And it's an incredible time to be alive if you
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 19: have the answer. People are desperate for truth, especially young people.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 19: The reason that they're falling sway to these false ideas,
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 19: you know, the ideas of socialism in the political realm and,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 19: you know, secular humanism. You know, they've lost faith in institutions.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 19: They've lost faith in the concept of truth itself. And
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 19: we represent the truth. I mean, we represent the biblical truth,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 19: the faith that once and for all was given to
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 19: the saints. And now is the time for us to
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 19: present that. And when you speak into the void of
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 19: the culture and you share that truth, it resonates. The
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 19: people are desperate for authenticity and hope, and that's what
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 19: the church provides. So it's a great time to be
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 19: a church planner. I mean, I think we need evangelism
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 19: to be on steroids right now because the country desperately needs.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 6: It, and the world needs it.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 19: And America is a bright, shining light for religious freedom,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 19: and we've got to exercise it or it will be
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 19: taken away from us.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 6: Mr.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 12: Speaker, we see the polling data out there, and I
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 12: think there's almost a lot of people suspect there's a
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 12: disinformation campaign going on. What do we need to do
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 12: to make sure that we can push back and fight
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 12: back against this really communist insurgency in the country on
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 12: Election Day?
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 15: That's what we're facing.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 19: And listen, I'll tell you, there are 435 House races
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 19: on the ballot, of course, in 36 days. And it's
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 19: going to come down to roughly two dozen seats. And
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 19: we've always known the majority would come down to that.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 19: The latest Cook Report is one of the analyst groups
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 19: everybody looks to. They confirm that, 22 toss-up seats. Now,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 19: the good news is, We prevailed in 21 of those
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 19: 22 seats just two years ago. So we have a
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 19: lot of tailwind, so to speak, but we've got to
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 19: go out and run through the tape. Voter turnout is
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 19: going to be essential. And if people of faith do
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 19: not get out and vote... We are truly jeopardizing the freedom,
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 19: the foundations that we have enjoyed in this country. Ronald
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 19: Reagan used to remind us, speaking of California, right? He said,
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 19: freedom's never more than one generation away from extinction. We
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 19: don't pass it in the bloodstream. We've got to fight
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 19: for it. We've got to protect it and then pass
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 19: it along to the next generation. Todd, that's what's on
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 19: the ballot just a few weeks from now, and we've
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 19: got to make sure we defend it.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 14: Well, Mr.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 12: Speaker, we know you're a busy man, and I know
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 12: you've got a lot of fans here at this conference.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 12: And a lot of friends back in Washington, Pastor Brad Wells,
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 12: who pastors Grace Way Church there in D.C., is with us.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 12: And I want you to know a lot of people
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 12: are praying for you and your team and your family
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 12: as we head towards the midterms.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 19: Well, thank you so much. We're grateful we're all in
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 19: this together, a government of, by, and for the people.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 15: It's up to us to preserve it.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 6: I'll leave you with this thought.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 19: I'm so glad y'all are convening right now and talking
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 19: about all this. The answer for us is obvious. We
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 19: don't jeer at people who are receptive to socialism and
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 19: these dark, dangerous philosophies. The answer is to teach them,
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 19: to shine a light, show them the perils of that
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 19: dangerous ideology, and lead them to the ultimate eternal truth.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 19: And I'm so grateful you all are doing that. God
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 19: bless you. Have a great gathering there. Hopefully, maybe I
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 19: can attend sometime in person.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 6: Mr.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 12: Speaker, thank you very much.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 15: God bless you.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 12: All right, Mr. Speaker, thank you. I really appreciate that.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 3: All right. All right, folks. That was how the conversation
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 3: went between Todd Starnes and the Speaker of the House.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: Let me just echo what the Speaker and Todd were
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 3: talking about. Folks, how am I going to phrase this?
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 3: Something's not right. Something is not right in the country.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 3: You can feel it. I can feel it. You know
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 3: that the sides– it's going to sound so melodramatic what
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 3: I'm about ready to say, and I'm not trying to be.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 3: The forces of darkness are really making a push, and
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 3: I'm not just talking about the ones here in the
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 3: United States. They've got allies everywhere. Across the globe. As
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: I've told you. Left wing thought is evil. Left wing leftist. Communistic.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 3: Collectivist thought is evil. Because it prioritizes. As we've been discussing.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 3: In various forms. Throughout this entire show. It prioritizes. An
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 3: elite few men. Government if you will. Over the will
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 3: of God. It prioritizes. Their interests for wealth. For power.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 3: Over frankly. Where all the wealth and all the power.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 3: Really resides. And that is in God. Everything that we're
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 3: going to need. The wealth of spirit. The wealth of
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 3: our material wealth. For what it's worth. And how temporary
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 3: it really is. It all resides in God Almighty. And
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 3: I said this in a. another form earlier in the
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 3: program but i truly believe it and i think reagan
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 3: believed it that we can map this country's decline in
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 3: direct proportion to our turning away from god as a
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 3: matter of fact i've got one of my favorite quotes
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 3: from ronald reagan let me see if i can find
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 3: it here folks i'll do a quick search in my
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 3: uh in my archives and ronald reagan was speaking at
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 3: an ecumenical breakfast about faith, about God. And there were, well,
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 3: there were a couple of instances where he was talking
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 3: about how God is essential. And if you want to
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 3: look at all the great civilizations that rose to extreme
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 3: heights And then fell. He said there was always a
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 3: precursor to their fall. And that was turning away from God.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 3: Turning away from their gods. Or God. I think this
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 3: is the sound bite.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 14: Listen.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 16: I submit to you that the tolerant society is open
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 16: to and encouraging of all religions. And this does not
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 16: weaken us. It strengthens us. It makes us strong. You know,
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 16: if we look back through history to all those great civilizations,
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 16: those great nations that rose up to even world dominance
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 16: and then deteriorated, declined, and fell, we find they all
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 16: had one thing in common. One of the significant forerunners
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 16: of their fall was their turning away from their god
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 16: or God's Without God, there is no virtue because there's
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 16: no prompting of the conscience. Without God, we're mired in
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 16: the material, that flat world that tells us only what
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 16: the senses perceive. Without God, there is a coarsening of
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 16: the society. And without God, democracy will not and cannot
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 16: long endure.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 3: Without God, there's a coarsening... Of the society. Is that
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 3: not what we're seeing? Isn't that not what Gen Z
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 3: is rebelling against? They're trying to find God again because
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 3: of the emptiness of the millennials, the emptiness, sorry, of
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 3: the baby boom generation. That this reliance on government, the
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 3: coarsening of the society, the thuggery that we embrace, right?
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 3: I think I mentioned Candace Owens just marveled at how
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 3: the black community was celebrates its thugs, its criminals, its murderers,
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 3: and how the American left celebrates terrorists, its thugs, and
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 3: its murderers, whether they be murdering children in the womb
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 3: or the criminals who are murdering those outside the womb.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 3: He also said something that pertains to government. Without God,
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 3: there is no prompting of the conscience. What does that mean?
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 3: prompting of the conscience. What he was saying was, and
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 3: it's a corollary to this old axiom, which states, you know,
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 3: character is what you do when nobody's watching. When you
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 3: know only God is watching. You don't steal the money
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 3: from the till, even though you can get away with it.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 16: Why?
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 3: Because the eternal I, God the Father, is watching. Jesus
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 3: is watching. So you don't. That's what moral character is
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 3: all about. And when you get members of our government
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 3: who don't have that prompting of the conscience, who have
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 3: turned their back on God, turned their back on us, mankind,
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 3: you know why I call socialists and communists enemies of mankind.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 3: They are. And they're among us. And I resent the
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 3: hell out of Republicans who are trying to turn this
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 3: country back over to them. And I think we should
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 3: do everything in our power to prevent it. As children
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 3: of God. It's Chris Salcedo. In for Todd Starnes. Back
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 3: in a minute with more on this. On the Todd
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 3: Starnes Show.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 3: I've got Chris Salcedo sitting in for Todd Starnes. The
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 3: way I do talk radio, this is your Radio Republic.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 3: Unlike your current government, your views are heard, listened to,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 3: and addressed right here when I am behind the mic.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 3: Give a call.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 4: 901-260-5926.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 14: 901-260-5926.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 3: You know, this whole shift toward Reagan, I found a
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 3: couple of other soundbites that I think would be very instructive.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 3: Reagan did say we needed defense from godless politicians like
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 3: the Democrats. Listen.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 16: Climate has changed greatly since then. And since it has...
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 16: It logically follows that religion needs defenders against those who
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 16: care only for the interests of the state. There are
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 16: these days many questions on which religious leaders are obliged
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 16: to offer their moral and theological guidance. And such guidance
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 16: is a good and necessary thing.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 3: We have to defend ourselves. against those who believe in
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 3: the supremacy of the state, who do not believe in
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 3: a government of, by, and for the people. You know,
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 3: in defense of President Trump, he is making decisions on
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 3: the international stage and at home, on the domestic stage,
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 3: that will be transformative. I mentioned america.gov, right? I mentioned
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 3: that and how That's just one example of the streamlining
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 3: of making government once again the servant of we the people.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 3: What about our national security? Trump was right on Greenland, folks.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 3: I hasten to point this out to you Canadians out there,
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 3: and I hasten to point this out to all of
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 3: you Republicans who say, well, I'm staying home. You know,
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 3: he's not paying enough attention to what's going on here
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 3: at home. The whole Iran thing. He was right on
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 3: our national security on Greenland.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 7: I just want to say I want to thank the
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 7: prime minister and the prime minister, Greenland, Denmark. And we're
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 7: going to have a tremendous relationship, a secure relationship. And
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 7: we look forward to it. We'll be working very hard
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 7: and very much in conjunction with each other. And it's
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 7: just a real honor to be here. This was.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 6: Long in the making, you know. Yeah, it was.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 3: It was long in the making. And President Trump, his
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 3: opening gambit was, hey, we're going to take over Greenland.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 3: It's going to become an American territory. That was the
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 3: opening bid to which Europe panicked. Denmark panicked. The people
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 3: of Greenland were like, oh, wait a minute. What could
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 3: that be like?
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 3: And then ultimately, the National Security Agreement, Denmark will retain Greenland.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 3: The Greenlanders will have their autonomy and the United States
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 3: will have a permanent security presence there. Be responsible for
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 3: the security of Greenland, which will be necessary for our security.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 3: So that communist China and mother Russia and other bad
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 3: actors won't be able to use it as a staging
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 3: ground to launch against our country. That is a chess
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 3: piece that is now off the table, kids. And you
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 3: can't thank John Cornyn for it. And you can't thank
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 3: these other shrubs. Can't thank George W. Bush. You can
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 3: thank President Trump. In the same way that no future Congress,
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 3: no future president will have to consider as part of
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 3: their defense calculus or their defense posture, the possibility of
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 3: a nuclear armed Iran. Do you guys know how powerful
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 3: that is? I mean, when the Soviet Union... I was around, folks,
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 3: when the Soviet Union... Many of you were when the
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 3: Soviet Union fell. We are going to go to bed
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 3: sometime soon and never have to worry about the radicalized
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 3: Islamic fundamentalist terrorist regime of Iran developing a nuclear weapon.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 3: No more allocating billions of dollars to that eventuality and
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 3: defending against it. So, at any rate, kids... I just
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 3: want to give President Trump credit for the transformational things
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 3: he has been doing. And maybe it'll prompt some of
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 3: you to say, well, I want to see more of it.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 3: And the best way you can get more of it
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 3: is to make sure no communist or socialist gets governing
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 3: majority in this country. Mary Walter is coming in next.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 3: We'll have more discussions on this next. Todd Starnes Show
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 3: with me, Chris Salcedo. We'll be right back.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: Play that funky music.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 3: Welcome back, everybody. You got the... Liberty Loving Latino in
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 3: for Todd Starnes here. I am Chris Salcedo. I am
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 3: the purveyor, the founder of the Chris Salcedo Show. You
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 3: guys may have seen me around town. Maybe you've seen
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 3: me on network television before I walked away earlier this
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 3: year and now have landed at Torch Audio, folks. Keep
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 3: your eyeballs out for big things coming from Torch Audio.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 3: And thanks as always for to Taj Darns for making
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 3: sure that I get some airtime on terrestrial radio, get
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 3: to flex the old muscles every now and again. All right,
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 3: roger that. We've got Mary Walter joining us right now, folks.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 3: She's back from my cable news days. She was a
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 3: frequent guest on the Chris Salcedo Show on television, and
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 3: she is the hostess. I mean, I don't think we're
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 3: going to be too bashful about affirming that there's a
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 3: difference between men and women. She's the hostess of Mary
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 3: Walter Radio. What's going on?
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 18: Hello, my friend. Boy, you make it sound like it
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 18: was so long ago. Like when I used to see
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 18: you all the time, it wasn't that long ago. How
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 18: are you? And what a thrill. One of my favorite
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 18: people filling in for one of my favorite people. How
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 18: lucky am I today?
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 3: Dude, tell me about it. You know what? I mean,
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 3: lucky that we're going to get a chance to have
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 3: a conversation because we haven't talked in a long time. And, um,
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 3: I am every once in a while, I get to
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 3: go on your show and every once in a while
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 3: you get to come on my show, but, uh, You know,
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 3: and this is a very good time for us to
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 3: be having this conversation because I want to know how
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 3: you're processing this election cycle. I mean, if you listen
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 3: to the doomers and the gloomers, if you're listening to
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 3: John Cornyn and Karl Rove and, you know, Karl Rove
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 3: has said he's going to be voting Democrat this cycle.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 3: And what's his name? Bill Kristol, who is saying now
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 3: is not the time to vote for Republicans. Let's vote
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 3: for the socialists and the Marxists. How are you processing 2026?
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 18: So here's the thing. John Cornyn, I get. He's all butthurt.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 18: So he wants to see Trump fail, right? So that
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 18: because his feelings are hurt, because that's mature. As for
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 18: Bill Kristol and the others, Karl Rove, I don't get that.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 18: I don't understand what their end game is. Maybe they
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 18: think that they're so wealthy and they're so above it
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 18: all that when the communists come into power, they're not
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 18: going to be the first to go. Clearly, they don't
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 18: know history. But here's the thing. Now, I am a pessimist.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 18: I always say I'm a pessimist. I want to expect
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 18: the worst and hope for the best, right? Just like
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 18: if the best happens, then that's great. But I always
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 18: expect the worst because this way I'm not crushed. Because
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 18: I'd rather be all happy and excited than, oh, damn it,
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 18: and really upset. I want to be prepared for it.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 18: But I will say, the more and more that I
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 18: am reading, the more I'm starting to believe that the
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 18: polls are total BS and that the media is carrying
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 18: the water yet again. for the Democrat Communist Party. And
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 18: I don't know why, because apparently our generation was the
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 18: only generation that was taught history. Maybe, I don't know,
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 18: but they don't seem to understand history either. So I'm
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 18: beginning to think that the polls are BS. That's just me.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, there's a little hope out there. And again,
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 3: let's remember, I want to buttress your argument here. that
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 3: the polls have been absolute garbage, with very rare exceptions
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 3: like McLaughlin & Associates, a buddy of ours. I think
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 3: you know Mark Mitchell, formerly of Rasmussen, just started his
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 3: own polling service called The Honest Poll. So they are
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 3: seeing an undercurrent here. Maybe not the blue wave that
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 3: everybody is forecasting, but they're seeing an undercurrent. And one
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 3: of those undercurrents I want to explore with you Because
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 3: what you have is John Thune doing a great job,
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 3: along with 22 fake Republicans, doing a great job of
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 3: dispiriting Republican voters by basically running on the clock and
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 3: doing nothing, accomplishing nothing in the United States Senate for
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 3: a year and a half. That is, of course, being
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 3: done to hand over government to Democrats. However, Democrats aren't
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 3: waiting for the government. It's socialists who are winning those
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 3: primaries and communists. who are waiting in the wings, which
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 3: is the danger of this gambit. But address first those
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 3: Republicans who are saying, I'm not going to vote because
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 3: I'm going to teach the Republicans a lesson. What do
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 3: you say?
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 18: Well, you know, have you noticed, though, a lot of
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 18: them are being primaried out. A lot of them are
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 18: on their last legs because they didn't win their primaries.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 18: So that's we, the people, giving them a message, a
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 18: message they don't like. And that's just too bad. Now,
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 18: can the rhinos and the establishment government, which is made
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 18: up of both Democrats and Republicans, can they wait Trump out?
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 18: They probably can. Can the MAGA part, the new part,
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 18: Trump's Republican Party, did they learn the lessons of fighting
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 18: for either way Trump does?
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 18: I think some of them have, but I think some
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 18: of them are still a bunch of cowards who would
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 18: just rather go along to get along and they like
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 18: the status quo and they just want to keep getting reelected.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 18: So there's a lot of unknown questions of where this goes.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 18: And I know people say it every single election cycle,
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 18: but this is like the most important election of my lifetime.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 18: I know people say it every, the presidential election was
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 18: the most important presidential election of my lifetime. And this
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 18: is the most important midterm election. of my lifetime as well,
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 18: because if the communists get in, apparently Democrats are just
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 18: going to let them take over. Democrats seem to be
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 18: totally fine with that as long as it gets them power. So,
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 18: you know, and I think the Republicans, the establishment ones
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 18: are just going to roll over, unfortunately. So this is
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 18: a very scary one.
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And I, again, I'm less concerned with how the
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 3: butthurt politicians are processing this. How, how do we reach
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 3: Republican voters who have fallen for the uniparty con, which is,
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 3: as you know, John Thune colluding with his good Democrat friends,
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 3: you know, Mitch McConnell's good friends to basically do nothing,
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 3: sitting on his hands, making sure that there was no
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 3: accountability for what the Democrats did during the Beijing Biden years,
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 3: the term of President Autopin. What do we say to
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 3: dispirited Republican voters who are, again, saying, I'm not voting Republican.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 3: Because I want to punish the Republicans for not doing
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 3: what I want. How do we reach those people?
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 11: You know, I don't know.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 18: That's a great question. I don't know. I think, and
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 18: I keep saying this over and over, I think like
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 18: in Texas where Telefrico is beating Paxton. I think John
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 18: Cornyn did a lot of damage to Paxton. Obviously, when
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 18: you have a primary like that, a lot of money
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 18: is spent. It was the most expensive primary in history that,
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 18: you know, he did a lot of damage. Republicans need
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 18: to spend their money. They're sitting on a lot of money.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 18: How are Democrats winning when they're so broke? They had
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 18: to sell the DNC headquarters because they don't have the
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 18: money being laundered through to them the way they used to.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 19: Right.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 18: Trump shut down a lot of those programs that shockingly
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 18: laundered money through back to the Democrats. In my humble opinion,
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 18: that's why they're broke. Republicans got to start spending their money. Honestly,
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 18: I think, you know, you can attack like Tallarico in Texas.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 18: And I keep saying this in the hopes that someone
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 18: in the administration is going to hear it. Why don't
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 18: they spend money on billboards on all the highways in Texas,
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 18: the major highways with Tallarico's picture and some of the
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 18: weird crappy stuff he has said. In the past, like
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 18: some of these, these comments, he goes, Oh, I don't
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 18: feel that way anymore. People would be shocked.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 11: Get it out there.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 18: You don't have, they don't have the media to help them.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 18: So you've got to be creative and billboards are not
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 18: that expensive. Put them up now for a month, put
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 18: them up to election day. That's easy. But unfortunately, Chris,
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 18: there's a group of people and I see them posting.
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 18: I'm not voting. They're either not going to vote at
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 18: all or they're, they won't vote a Republican. They'll vote
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 18: for like a third party or something along those lines.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 18: Because Trump said no new wars. And you have to say, no,
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 18: he didn't say no new wars. He said no unending wars.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 18: But they don't want it. They're very upset by that.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 18: And the prices, prices are higher. And you could put
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 18: all the statistics in their face and say, actually, no,
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 18: they're not. Doesn't matter. It's how they feel when they
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 18: get a bill and they think it's too high.
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm right there with you. And there are a
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 3: lot of headwinds. Folks, we're talking to Mary Walter, Mary
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 3: Walter Radio. longtime political analyst, good time, a good time
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 3: friend of mine and Todd Starnes. So, you know, and
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 3: let's let's give the president his due. And let's let's
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 3: point the finger at the Uniparty as to the reason why,
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 3: you know, look, I firmly believe that John Thune and
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 3: company and McConnell's that the McConnell's and Cotton's and And
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 3: Murkowski's of the world, they want to get back to
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 3: corruption as usual. You know, Trump really put a hitch
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 3: in their get along. All their good Democrat friends are
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 3: being defunded, you know, with the USAID boondoggle and all
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 3: this all this garbage going on through government. So here's
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 3: a story out of The Daily Caller. Trump invokes rare
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 3: authority to cancel nearly a billion dollars in congressionally approved overspending. Now,
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 3: they say spending, but it's overspending. You and I both
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 3: know this. This was the White House announcing on late
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 3: Friday that it will rescind $ 810 million in appropriation funds
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 3: through the budgetary process known as a pocket rescission. According
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 3: to CBS fake news, the largest cut, $ 567 million in
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 3: health and human services accounts that funded, get this, nonprofits
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 3: serving refugees, illegal aliens, and asylees, illegal aliens. According to
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 3: the administration, the officials are arguing this money is no
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 3: longer needed. Because we've stopped the illegal immigration invasion. So
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 3: there is President Trump. By the way, it was Cornyn
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 3: and these fake Republicans who joined with Democrats to fully
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 3: fund all of this corruption, fully greasing the palms of
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 3: their good Democrat friends and keeping all of them, you know,
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 3: awash in cash. And President Trump drying up the well.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 3: And it seems to me that the America First coalition
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 3: is the only one looking out for our bottom line.
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 15: Yes?
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 6: Absolutely.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 15: Absolutely.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 18: But you know what? They're so terrible at messaging. Why
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 18: aren't the numbers out there of how much we saved
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 18: you this week and how much we saved this week?
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 18: Put it, I don't know, get one of those tickers
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 18: like they have in New York with the debt on it.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 18: Put something like that of how much money they've saved
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 18: by shutting down this program, how much money we saved
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 18: this week by shutting down this program. Put it out there.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 18: The numbers don't get out there. That message is not
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 18: getting through. That's number one. But number two, as long
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 18: as people feel that, you know, everything's too expensive when
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 18: they go to the grocery store, because that's what the
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 18: media is bashing into them. It's too much.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 15: It's too much.
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 18: Gas here, and they pump it for you here in
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 18: New Jersey, was $ 4.
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 11: 17.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 18: And everybody's like, oh, it's over $ 5. I'm like, well,
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 18: it's $ 4. 17 in New Jersey. It's a blue state, so
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 18: we kind of have high taxes on our gasoline. But
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 18: they pump it for you. So it's really not. And
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 18: the price is coming down in the last couple of weeks.
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 18: So but the media, when you're they got the headwind
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 18: of the media and that's a big problem.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely. And you know what? To be honest, J.D.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 3: Vance is getting out there talking about. the fraud which
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 3: by the way approved by the republicans fully funding fraud
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 3: which i've always said that cannot be the cost of
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 3: government fully you know fully funding fraud oh yeah you
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 3: got you got to take the fraud so that we
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 3: can get you good government no that that that shouldn't
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 3: be the cost so jd vance has been talking about
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 3: the billions of dollars saved by the administration but as
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 3: you as you rightly point out the kitchen table stuff
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 3: is what is what's resonating And you've got a compliant press.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 3: You've got fake Republicans and the Democrat socialists all against
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 3: the America First coalition. And that's that's formidable. Mary Walter, everybody,
• 1:45:21

  Speaker 3: Mary Walter, have a great day.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 18: I will be sure to do that.
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 3: All right, folks. Back in a minute. Chris Salcedo in
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 3: for Todd Starnes on The Todd Starnes Show. All righty, folks,
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 3: in the time we have left, I want to get
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 3: out of the phones. Let's get out to Ocala, Florida, W-O-C-A.
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 3: Richard is waiting. Richard, what do you say?
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 5: How do you do, sir?
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 5: Chris, I appreciate you taking my call. Chris, I've been
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 5: listening to you. I really appreciate the way you tell
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 5: us how so many of the Republicans, I think you
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 5: said 20, 21 percent of the people are against us. Chris,
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 5: for years I've said 100 percent of the Democrat politicians
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 5: are are traitors to God and country, and I felt
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 5: like 50% of the Republicans was. And I believe it's
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 5: playing out to prove and true. Eighty-something percent of the
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 5: American people wanted the Save America Act passed, and they
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 5: absolutely refused to do it. They're voting against the will
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 5: of the people, and it's really disheartening. I have no
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 5: more respect for John Thune than I did Nancy Pelosi.
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 5: He could have forced that thing through if he would,
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 5: and he refused to do it. I truly believe they
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 5: want Trump impeached and want the communists to take over
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 5: our country. But if God would allow it, Chris, if
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 5: the American people would get out and vote, I don't
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 5: care how unhappy they think they may be, the little snowflakes,
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 5: if they would get out and vote and seek God
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 5: and repent of their sins, we can overrule these crooked politicians.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 5: I mean, this country was what? For the people, of
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 5: the people, and by the people. We're supposed to rule ourselves.
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 5: And when our politicians are ruling against us, if we
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 5: would prayerfully fight the fight, remember Ronald Reagan said every
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 5: generation has to fight for its freedom. Every generation, he said,
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 5: had to fight. And we know most of them are
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 5: against us. Most of them want Trump thrown out of office.
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 5: They want the communists to take over. But if we
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 5: would pray and vote, We can overrule their wishes if
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 5: God would allow it. And I think every American, if
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 5: they ever want their freedom, they better vote this election.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 3: Well, there's another way of saying that, Richard. You're spot on.
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 3: We outnumber them. There are only 535 individuals plus one
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 3: president up there on Capitol Hill.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 1: Hill.
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 3: And they are a fraction of the majority. As you
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 3: pointed out, 84% of the country wanted the Save America Act.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 3: John Thune said, if he would have believed in the
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 3: founding fathers and would have restored the founding fathers filibuster
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 3: could have gotten that done. That the filibuster was never
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 3: supposed to be a mechanism to stop debate. It was
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 3: supposed to be a mechanism to foster debate, quite the opposite.
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 3: And you're absolutely right. Americans know something was wrong with
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 3: what John Thune did. And look, if you want to
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 3: punish John Thune for what he did, try to turn
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 3: this country over to socialists and Marxists. There's only one
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 3: thing you can do. Vote Republican. Thank you very much, Richard.
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 3: We go to Georgia. WDUN and Joe is calling in. Joe,
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 3: what do you have to say?
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 20: You're doing a great job substituting for Todd. I just
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 20: want to say that my good friend Ted Cruz, Senator Cruz,
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 20: I think is going to run for president. And I
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 20: sent word that if he does, I will strongly endorse him.
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 20: He's a great taxpayer, a champion, and I think he
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 20: would be a super president of the United States. And
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 20: I've invited him to come to L.A.J. to poo famous barbecues.
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 20: and hopefully announce that he's running from Poole's Barbecue. And
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 20: if he comes, I'd love for you and Todd to
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 20: come because we're fired up about Ted Cruz down in
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 20: Georgia and think he would be a great president of
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 20: the United States.
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, Cruz has said he makes no bones
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 3: about it. He makes no secret that he wants to
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 3: be the president of the United States. And I asked
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 3: him this when he was on with me yesterday. When
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 3: I interviewed him yesterday, I said, you know, people want
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 3: to know what your future is. And he basically said,
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 3: that he's focused right now on the primaries and exclusively
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 3: on the primaries. What is it that you find most
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 3: endearing about Senator Cruz and his policies and his public persona?
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 20: Well, I campaigned with him when he ran last time
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 20: and got to know him real well. I think he's
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 20: a super taxpayer champion. I think he'll always put the
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 20: taxpayers first. He's got a great personality.
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 5: He's brilliant.
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 20: In fact, my guess is he would be elected president
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 20: of the United States and serve for eight years and
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 20: then go to the Supreme Court and probably be, you know,
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 20: he's a great, he's a great, tremendous speaker. And I
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 20: think he would be great on the Supreme Court. But
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 20: I'd love to see him president of the United States.
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 20: And we've invited him to my hometown of L.A.J., the
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 20: Pooh's Barbecue, to speak and love to have you and
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 20: Todd come if we can get him there. And I
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 20: think we can.
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 3: Well, Joe, I would be honored if Senator Cruz decides
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 3: to throw his hat in the ring. It's going to
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 3: be a pretty big ring. Because the Republican bench is deep.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 3: We've got Marco Rubio, 2.0, who is doing fantastic work.
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 3: We've got J.D. Vance, the vice president, of course, who
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 3: you can't say enough good things about. So lots ahead
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 3: of us, folks. But let's take care of 2026 first.
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 3: Chris Salcedo, out. See you next time on the Todd
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 3: Starnes Show.
