Leftists Celebrate Death of Sen. Lindsey Graham · ToddCast Podcast with Todd Starnes

• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: America's favorite gun toting, bible clinging, deplorable American.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: That's this American.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Jud starts well.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, hello, everybody, welcome to the Tom Stearns Radio Show.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: A very busy week here on the program. Agreed to
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: have you with us wherever you might be broadcasting. Bought
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: it a border coast to coast across the Fruited Plain,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: and ladies and gentlemen, we have a lot of ground
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: to cover today, and of course we want to start
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: out with the situation evolving Lindsey Graham, who passed away
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: over the weekend rather suddenly. And look a couple of
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: things here, a couple of major takeaways. First of all,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: President Trump, this one really hit the President hard. And
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the President had a very close relationship, close friendship with
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Lindsay Graham, going back well over the past couple of years.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: You might remember that Lindsay Graham was not exactly a
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: big fan of the president early on. And look, I
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: suppose that goes for I guess a lot of folks,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: but for Lindsey Graham, the relationship sort of evolved over
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: the course of the Trump administration, and I think Lindsey
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: saw in our president a man who was sincere, who
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: was a man of integrity, and that says a lot,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: and it goes a long way for somebody like Lindsey Graham. Now,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: one of the things I just want to get off
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: my chest here if we can, is some of the
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: commentary about Lindsay Graham that's happening on social media. And
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you've seen these posts, but they
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: go something like they go something like this, Well, you know,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: we didn't always agree on Lindsay and I but or
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you know, he was a sorry so and so. But no, no, no,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: if you've got if you've got to go down that path,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: if you've got to offer a qualified memorial or offering
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: up some sort of a bankhanded condolence, you know, just
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: keep that to yourself, can you do that? Look, this
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: happens every time a lawmaker dies on social media, and
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: they're filled with all sorts of memorials and tributes and look,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: the man is dead. Politics, it doesn't matter. Politics is
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: beside the point. And that's one of the big problems
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I think we have with politics right now is that
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: and this happens on both sides of the aisle, by
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the way, because a lot of the well, you know,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: we didn't agree, but a lot of that is coming
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: from MAGA conservatives, and it really is sad that politics
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: has sort of devolved to this. It wasn't always like this, actually,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I mean politics has always been assesspool, but it hasn't
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: been as bad as it is with the advent of
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: social media, and back in the day, for example, President
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan, who I believe if Ronald Reagan were alive
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: today in the world of social media, I don't believe
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan would have ever been able to be elected
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: because you've got a swath of the party that if
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: you don't agree with them on everything, they'll destroy you.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: You are dead to them. Actually, there are two swaths,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: and then there's all the rest of us. In the middle,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: you have the far right of the party, and then
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: you've got the establishment, and then there are all the
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: rest of us. Inevitably, I received some sort of mail
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: at least once a day, and people accuse me of
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: being a closet Democrat. No, I know, they're probably doing drugs,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: but again it's just ludicrous. So anyway, I just wanted
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to say something about Lindsey Graham. Guy was a good
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: and decent man. I mean, he grew up and he
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: really lived. His story is really fascinating. I mean, this
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: guy really lived the I wouldn't. It's the American dream,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: it's the American story. Grew up in abject poverty, lived
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: in the back of his dad's pool hall because dad
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: was a bartender. His mom and dad died when he
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: was very very young, I think in his early twenties.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: And instead of shipping his sister off to live with
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: the relatives, Lindsay Graham raised his own sister just like
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: he was his daughter. As a matter of fact, Lindsay
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Graham adopted his sister so that she could receive his
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: military benefits should he die, because he he served in
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: the Air Force for what over well over thirty years
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: he served in the military. This is a guy. He
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: fought for the unborn. He was staunchly pro pro life.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: He stood up for religious liberty. He was a warhawk.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: And what I appreciate about Lindsay Graham and he never
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: held a grudge. That was the thing about Lindsay Graham.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: He would fight you on the issues, but at the
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: end of the day. He was still your friend. He
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: did not hold grudges. These days, man, people hold grudges.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: It's brutal out there, and Lindsay Graham wasn't one of
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: those guys. I have great respect for that. As a
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: matter of fact, Lindsay Graham would go out there and
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: he didn't care who you were, but if you had
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: an R after your name, he was going to go
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: out there. He was going to raise money for you.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: And I'll tell you I have done that here locally
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: with the Republicans in my area that are not exactly
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: the most conservative in the world. Some of them are
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: would be considered I knows, were moderates, but you know
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: what they head at are behind their name. They were
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the nominee. They got support from me, and that's how
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I've always that's how I've always lived my you know,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: my political life. But anyway, all these folks out there
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: that are attacking Lindsay Grahm and he's getting peeped. The
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: left is completely unhinged and they're literally celebrating the death
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: of this man. I just don't understand that that's evil.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: That's demonic. In my I estimate it is, it's demonic
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: and as Grandma Stearns used to say, if you can't
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: say something nice about somebody, it's just best to hush up,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: or as Medea would say, put the shut to the up. Oh,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: they also say the guy was was really really funny.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: And I've got a couple of clips here I want
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: to play, and we're going to get into the whole
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: politics of it all. We have Chad Connelly from who
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: used to be the chair of the South Carolina Republican Party.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: He's going to join us here momentarily and we're gonna
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: talk to him about what happens next. President Trump wants
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Senator Graham's sister Darlene to become the next senator. And
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: my only question is is she a Republican? That would
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: be my only or is she a Republican? But there
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: are a lot of folks that are chomping at the bit.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: A lot of people also very concerned about the circumstances
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: of his passing. And this is interesting. I was on
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: American Family Radio early this morning doing a long form
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: interview and they said, what do you make of all
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: these conspiracy theories? Well, I don't think they're conspiracy theories.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: And hear me out on this no doubt that Lindsey
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Graham hated Russia, hated Putin, and Putin and his goon
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: squads have been known to take people out using all
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: sorts of drugs and medications to to give the impression
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: that the person died of some sort of of a
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: cardiac event. So all of this happened when Lindsey Graham
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: was in Ukraine. He flew back home and talked to
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: President Trump at at seven o'clock in the evening. By
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: one o'clock, the guy was dead. So it's not out
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: of the realm of there's nothing wrong with saying, well,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: wait a second, is there something else going on here?
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: The other part of this is you have the Iranians
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: who had been marching around with posters of Lindsay Graham's
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: head with a bullet in the middle of his forehead.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: They were wanting this guy dead. As a matter of fact,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: there are some in the Iranian government whoever still left alive,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: who hasn't been blown to smithereens, and they're taking credit
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: for the death of Lindsey Graham. And then there's the
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: other and the working and by the way, cash Petel
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: did did not do anybody any favors. When he said
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: the fbion is the way he framed it, I'm going
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: to explain this to you. That gave the impression the
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I was investigating, when in fact what he said was
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: the FBI is here and we're available to offer whatever
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: resources are necessary. There was no need to go public
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: with that because as soon as he did, everybody thought
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: the FBI is investigating that That's what the big headline was.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: So look, I don't think it's a conspiracy to ask, Okay,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: are we sure that he died from this chair in
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: his aora? Is that? Is that what caused his death?
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Or was there? Is there some other nefarious reason for
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: all of this? And look, those are fair questions to
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: ask you. This is not as if it's happening in
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: some sort of a vacuum. And what what bothers me?
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Are the people there? They're people out to how dare you?
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: How dare you? Ask?
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: So?
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: What? What what do you mean? How dare me? These
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: are legitimate questions to ask. I mean, for crying out loud,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: the Iranians just tried to kill Donald J. Trump at
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: the NATO summit in Turkey. So you you think that
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: you think it's a stretch to sug that maybe Lindsey
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Graham was taken up by Iranians because of his devotion
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: to Israel or by the Russians because of his devotion
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: to Ukraine. I'm just asking. Here's so that being said,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: there were conversations had and Lindsay Graham said he wasn't
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: feeling well. They whatever it was, they said you should
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: go to the hospital immediately, and he said no, he
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: had things he had to do. I think it was
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: going to be a what meet the press yesterday or
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: something he was supposed to be meet the press and
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: he said, no, I'll check into it later. Let me
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: tell you something that was almost me about eight weeks ago.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: And fortunately I've got a staff here that just drives
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: me insane about my health, and I made sure to
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: go and immediately get checked out. Otherwise I would not
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: be behind this microphone talking to you right now at
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: the exact same sort of a heart situation. And think
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the good Lord that I paid attention. So it's a
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: terrible story. We're gonna get to the bottom of it.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: And again this is the preliminary autopsy they did, so
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: that they're still waiting on all the toxicology reports. So
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of this is just too soon, but it
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: certainly I don't begrudge anybody for saying, Okay, wait a second,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: was this natural causes or did something else go down here?
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: And that is a legitimate question and it'll get answered.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: our telephone number, that's nine oh one two six zero
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: five to nine two six. I want to play a
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: humorous bit. I just think this is funny, and then
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: when we come back, I'm gonna play some audio from
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Lindsey Graham at the Brett Cavado confirmation hearing. I believe
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: this was Lindsay Graham at his finest moment. I know
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: the President had some things to say about that as well.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Here is though, Lindsay Graham back in twenty ten, when
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: he was asking Justice Elaine Kagan, she was in her
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: confirmation hearing about what she did on Christmas Day. Take
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: a listen, where are you at on Christmas Day?
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Senator Graham?
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: That is an undecided legal issue, which, well, I suppose
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: I should ask exactly what you mean by that. I'm
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: assuming that the question you mean is whether a person
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: who was apprehended in the United States is.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Not just ask you where you're at on Christmas, you.
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: Know, like old Jews, I was probably at a Chinese restaurant,
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: right answer, No.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I can almost I can almost see that one coming.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: I just me too.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: So you were celebrating, Senator Schumer explained this to me earlier. Yeah,
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: he did. No other restaurants are open, Pride, You were
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: with your family on Christmas.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Day at a Chinese restaurant. Okay, yes, sir, that's great.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: That's what Honokan Christmas is all about.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I love it. He was known to have a great
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: sense of humor, early a wicked sense of humor. And
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: that's just a smidge of that, all right. Today also
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: the one year anniversary of the assassination attempt on President Trump.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Do you find it odd that we still don't know
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: anything about what happened on that day? That is unusual.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: So look, we're going to take a break here. We're
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: taking your phone calls as well. Our telephone number nine
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. Again
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: that number nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: two six. This is the Todd Starns Show.

• 14:23
  Speaker 2: All Right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Sterns
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Radio Show. So coming up, Chad Conley is going to
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: be with us to give us the lowdown of what
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: happens next in South Carolina. I was reading something in
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: the industry trades over the weekend and I wanted to
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: share this with you. It caught my attention. And one
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: of the things that we take pride in, Dylan on
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: this program is our calls we get from our listeners,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: and really they become a part of the I mean,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: the listeners are a part of what we do. Without them,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: without their calls, well would be sort of a you know,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: ho hum show.
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: I think it would just be you talking for a.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: While, yes, exactly. And so when I saw the headline
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: of this story, I thought, oh, I'm interested in this
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Jesse Kelly is a radio host. He broadcasted another time
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: slot with iHeart and he was interviewed by Barrett Media,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: which is one of our industry trade publications, why Jesse
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Kelly refuses to take live callers during his premiere networks show,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: And in the course of this conversation, he said that
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: he actually he doesn't like taking calls from listeners, and
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: he said that calls This is a direct quote from
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Jesse Kelly. Kelly no longer takes live listener calls. Quote,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: calls suck. They're just the worst thing in the world,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: and I always hated them. Calls are a crutch. Now,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: this is a guy who was a construction worker before
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: he became a talk radio host, so I don't know
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: how long he's been in the radio industry of the business.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: He also he also went on to say, calls or
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: when you run out of things to say, let's go
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: to Bob in Sheboygan. Nobody tuned in to hear Bob
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: and Sheboygan, nobody whatsoever. The radio host went on to say,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: And then when you go to Bob and Sheboygan, you
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: know what's brutal for every one of the United States? Hi,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: how you're doing, how you're doing. I'm good. How are
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: you tonight? First time? Long time? The guy who's stuck
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: in traffic needs some form of entertainment, and now he
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: wants to drive his car off a bridge. That is awful,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: and I won't do it anymore. So he said that
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I was a radio listener a long time before I
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: did it. The second it was let's go to the phones.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: I couldn't change the channel fans enough, so I just
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: don't do it. By the way, it's also something that
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Michael Barry and other talk radio host apparently taught Jesse Kelly.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: When I first got a show, it was a one
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: hour show late at night in Houston. Barry basically banned
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: me from taking calls, and he said, you need to learn.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: It's a skill you have to learn. You need to
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: learn how to sit behind a microphone and entertain. So basically,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: you've got these talk radio hosts that are now saying
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: blank you to callers. I this is beyond me, but okay,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: it's Look, here's the deal. I would like to think
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: that we have a pretty entertaining show here noon to three.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: We've been doing this a very long time, and from
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: day one, I told our crew that we had to
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: have listener participation. Now, sometimes we get lousy calls, that's
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: just the way it goes. But a lot of times
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: we get calls from our listeners that take us in
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: a whole different direction. And they're not the only ones
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: there are. I mean, quite frankly, there are some in
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: the radio industry who are rather snobbish and say why
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: would why would I know one in particular who said,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: why would I ever take a call from a listener?
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: These are people who don't go shopping at Walmart. They've
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: probably never been to a Bucky's. Pretty sure, they've never
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: been to a Chick fil a or in and Out.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: You know, these are the inside the Beltway snobs, and
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: unfortunately radio is filled with these kinds of folks. Now,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this, specifically, whether
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: or not you think that calls from listeners are a
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: bad thing. Are telephone number nine oh one two six
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. You know we're taking your
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: calls on calls nine oh one two six zero five
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: nine two six. This is the tod Start Show. Wow,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: what a way to endear yourself to your audience. Jess aloo,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: all right, Welcome back everybody. This is the Todd Starns
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Radio Show. Happy to have you with us today. I
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: want to go right away to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: line and say hello to our good friend Chad Conley.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Chad is the founder of Faith Wins, one of the
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: really one of the top organizations that is mobilizing people
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: of faith around the country. And guys, please let me
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: know when we get Chad ready to go here, and
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: we'll get to Chad right now, though I want to
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: go back before we bring Chad in, I want to
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: play some audio from Senator Lindsey Graham. This is Senator
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Graham back in twenty eighteen speaking at the confirmation hearing
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: of Brett Kavanaugh. Cut number one.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: If you wanted an FBI investigation, you could have come
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: to us. What you want to do is destroy this
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: guy's life. Hold this seat open, and hope you went
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: in twenty twenty. You've said that, not me. You've got
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: nothing to apologize for. When you see Soda Maron Kagan,
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: tell him that Lindsay said, oh, because I voted for them,
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: I would never do to them what you've done to
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: this guy. This is the most unethical sham. Since I've
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: been in politics, and if you really wanted to know
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: the truth, you sure as hell wouldn't have done what
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: you've done to this guy. Are you a gang rapist? No?
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: I cannot imagine what you and your family have gone through.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Boy, y'all want power. God, I hope you never get it.
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: I hope the American people can see through this sham
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: that you knew about it and you held it. You
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: had no intention of protecting doctor Ford none. She's as
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: much of a victim as you are.
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: God.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: I hate to say it because these have been my friends,
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: but let me tell you when it comes to this,
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: you're looking for a fair process. You came to the
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: wrong town at the wrong time. My friend, Do you
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: consider this a job interview?
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: The advice and consent role is like a job.
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: You consider that you've been through a job interview.
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: I've been through a process of advice and consent under
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: the Constitution.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Would you say you've been through hell? I've been through
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: hell and then some. This is not a job interview.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: This is hell.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: This this is going to destroy the ability of good
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: people to come forward.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Because of that's crap.
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: Your high school year book, you have interacted with professional
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: women all your life, not one. Actually, you're supposed to
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: be Bill Cosby when you're a junior and senior in
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: high school and all of a sudden you got over it.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: It's been my understanding that if you drug women and
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: rape them for two years in high school, you probably
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: don't stop. Here's my understanding. If you lived a good life,
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: people would recognize it, like the American Bar Association has
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: the gold standard. His integrity is absolutely unquestioned. He is
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: the very circumspect in his personal conduct, harbors no biases
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: or prejudices. He's entirely ethical. Is a really decent person.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: He is warm, friendly, unassuming. He's the nicest person.
• 22:49
  Speaker 9: The ABA.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: One thing I can.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: Tell you you should be proud of Ashley.
• 22:55
  Speaker 10: You should be proud of this that.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: You raised a daughter who had the good character to pray.
• 23:02
  Speaker 9: For doctor Ford.
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: To my Republican colleagues, if you vote no, you're legitimizing
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: the most despicable thing I have seen in my time
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: in politics. You want this seat, I hope you never
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: get it. I hope you're on the Supreme Court. That's
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: exactly where you should be. And I hope that the
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: American people will see through this charade, and I wish
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: you will, and I intend to vote for you, and
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: I hope everybody who's fair minded will.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: All right, That was Lindsey Graham a delivering a ferocious
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: defense of Brent Kavanaugh. And by the way President Trump
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: is saying, this was probably one of the most classic
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: moments in the history of the Senate. Well, I want
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: to go to the Patriot Mobile news maker line right
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: now and say hello to our good friend Chad Conley,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: the founder of Faith Wins and former chair of the
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: GEO there in South Carolina. Jan First of all, Wow,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: what a shock. What's been the reaction across South Carolina
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: over the past twenty four hours.
• 24:11
  Speaker 11: Well, Todd, great to see you and thanks for having
• 24:13
  Speaker 11: me on. Look, it's devastating. I texted him Happy Birthday Friday.
• 24:17
  Speaker 11: He texted me back and said he was coming home
• 24:19
  Speaker 11: and looking forward to talking. It's stunning. My phone was
• 24:24
  Speaker 11: blowing up. I got up really early for church yesterday
• 24:27
  Speaker 11: and prepared my Sunday school lesson like every Sunday, and
• 24:30
  Speaker 11: it was just overwhelming, hundreds of texts and emails and
• 24:33
  Speaker 11: phone calls. I was on the phone by six point
• 24:35
  Speaker 11: thirty with the current state chairman looking at the state law.
• 24:38
  Speaker 11: What do we do now? I went through this with
• 24:40
  Speaker 11: Jim Dementt and there's a very fast rant, but people
• 24:43
  Speaker 11: are shocked. Lindsay did far more. And by the way,
• 24:46
  Speaker 11: thank you for playing that whole clip. Lindsay did far
• 24:49
  Speaker 11: more behind the scenes that was conservative and people ever
• 24:53
  Speaker 11: knew and it probably wasn't good at telling the stories.
• 24:56
  Speaker 11: But a kid who grew up above a pool haul
• 24:58
  Speaker 11: in the liquor store, and and now he's sitting with
• 25:00
  Speaker 11: kings and sheikhs and prime ministers forming Middle Eastern geopolitical direction.
• 25:06
  Speaker 11: It's a great American story.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: You know it is. It is a great American story.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: And again he's also, for the record, a Southern Baptist,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: a longtime member of Colarrinth Baptist Church there in Seneca,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: South Carolina, So props to the Southern Baptist there. But
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: he was also a man of faith. And you know,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: again he wasn't exact, you know, he wasn't Billy Graham,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: but he stood up for the pro life movement and
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: he also stood up for religious liberty. And Chad, I
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: think we're going to miss that voice. And the Senate
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: on specifically those two issues.
• 25:39
  Speaker 11: Man Todd, we are gonna miss him, not just our state,
• 25:43
  Speaker 11: but the nation. I think the international community is going
• 25:45
  Speaker 11: to miss this voice too. I did a pastor meeting
• 25:48
  Speaker 11: with him right before the primary in early June, and
• 25:51
  Speaker 11: I had forty five pastors, you know, my model. Put
• 25:54
  Speaker 11: a bunch of pastors, influences, influencers in the room representing
• 25:58
  Speaker 11: tens of thousands of congregants, and Lindsay was awesome. But
• 26:01
  Speaker 11: I had him tell his testimony story how he came
• 26:03
  Speaker 11: to the realization he could not get to Heaven without Jesus.
• 26:06
  Speaker 11: And although you're right, I mean he was all over
• 26:09
  Speaker 11: the world, he was traveling, but I believe he's in
• 26:12
  Speaker 11: the arms of Jesus right now. I'm confident in that
• 26:15
  Speaker 11: he won over so many people that day. We had
• 26:17
  Speaker 11: some pastors who walked in that room in Anderson, South
• 26:20
  Speaker 11: Carolina at Oakwood Baptist where I hosted the meeting. I
• 26:24
  Speaker 11: had pastors from multiple denominations and multiple counties, and three
• 26:28
  Speaker 11: of them were like, I'm not voting for Lindsey. I'm
• 26:31
  Speaker 11: tired of it. He's got to go. He's been there
• 26:33
  Speaker 11: too long. And I said, look, Pastor, I want you
• 26:35
  Speaker 11: to listen to him, because we live in that world
• 26:37
  Speaker 11: where if you don't agree with me one hundred percent,
• 26:39
  Speaker 11: you're a demon or something. Right, and you know, Lindsay
• 26:42
  Speaker 11: won over all three. He was relatable, he was funny.
• 26:45
  Speaker 11: He told his testimony, but he also explained his reasoning
• 26:48
  Speaker 11: and he said, look, I want to save babies and
• 26:51
  Speaker 11: I want to take out terrists. Well, that wins over
• 26:53
  Speaker 11: most of our crowd, right because they realize he's completely
• 26:56
  Speaker 11: authentic in that, and so I don't think people are
• 27:00
  Speaker 11: he shaded it, but he stood up for life, He
• 27:02
  Speaker 11: stood up for conservative judges, for religious liberty, and for Israel.
• 27:06
  Speaker 11: Man that checks a lot of my faith by Christian
• 27:08
  Speaker 11: boxes for sure.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: And yet there was a lot of hatred directed at
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: him from members of his own party. There are a
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: lot of folks upset that accused him of being bought
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: and paid for by Israel. The Ukraine thing, and he
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: and I had disagreements on Ukraine from day one. It
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: was interesting. Lindsay was. My understanding is he's a guy
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: who never held a grudge. He would fight you, but
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: at the end of the day, he was still your friend. Unfortunately,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: we don't have those kinds of politicians. Chad, you've been
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: in politics for a long time, and you've also been
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: a Christian for a very long time. Politics is not church.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: It is rough and tumble. But at the same time,
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: you've got to make sure everybody's fighting for the same
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: team here.
• 27:54
  Speaker 11: Yeah, you know. I got a personal story in twenty twelve,
• 27:57
  Speaker 11: all of state party chairman and he had voted for
• 28:00
  Speaker 11: so Do my Yor and Kagan. So I called him.
• 28:02
  Speaker 11: I said, look, Sinner, you're getting beat up. He said,
• 28:04
  Speaker 11: you get a lot of phone calls. I said, oh yeah,
• 28:06
  Speaker 11: he said, Hi, they're running I said, about two hundred
• 28:08
  Speaker 11: and one against you. He said, look, I believe my
• 28:11
  Speaker 11: constitutional role is advice and consent. I read it that way,
• 28:15
  Speaker 11: and I believe I'm doing this in a consistent pattern.
• 28:18
  Speaker 11: It'll come back. And after the Brett Kavanaugh thing, I
• 28:22
  Speaker 11: saw each other in an event, he said, remember that conversation.
• 28:25
  Speaker 11: I said, yes, Sir, I do. He said, I believe
• 28:27
  Speaker 11: I might be the only person on the planet who
• 28:30
  Speaker 11: could have said that. I said, Lindsay, I believe with
• 28:32
  Speaker 11: all my heart we would not have had Roe v.
• 28:35
  Speaker 11: Wade overturned had you not stood for Kavanaugh. Because you
• 28:38
  Speaker 11: think about it if kavanaughll if Trump caved on kavanof
• 28:42
  Speaker 11: the Senate caved on Kavanaugh, all those candidates that have
• 28:44
  Speaker 11: been vetted by groups that you and I like would
• 28:47
  Speaker 11: have been out of there. We'd have never overturned Rov Wade.
• 28:50
  Speaker 11: And I think Lindsey Graham is an unsung hero in
• 28:54
  Speaker 11: that because of what he did for kavanall that day.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Chad Conley is the founder of Faith WINSD and he's
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: joining us today on our Patriot You just make her line,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: So Chad, let's talk about next steps. Politics still goes on,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: and the Republican majority keeps getting slimmer and slimmer. We
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: understand the President earlier today suggested that Lindsey Graham's sister
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: should be the replacement. I have one question. Is she
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: a Republican? Chad Connolly, Yeah, Darlene's awesome.
• 29:23
  Speaker 11: I mean, listen, if anybody heard Lindsey or Darlene tell
• 29:27
  Speaker 11: the story of what Lindsay did for her as his
• 29:29
  Speaker 11: little sister, to even adopt her and raise her, you'd
• 29:33
  Speaker 11: never hate on Lindsey Graham. But I think she's perfect.
• 29:36
  Speaker 11: I heard this last night. I know that Governor McMaster
• 29:39
  Speaker 11: has been pummeled with lobbying from every angle. So I'm
• 29:43
  Speaker 11: praying that he does appoint Darlene. She's a perfect placeholder.
• 29:47
  Speaker 11: She would absolutely vote like Lindsay would vote. She would
• 29:51
  Speaker 11: do the right thing, she would let the staff coach
• 29:54
  Speaker 11: her own stuff, and she has no interest in the seat.
• 29:57
  Speaker 11: She don't want to be their long term. So it
• 29:59
  Speaker 11: is going to be a free It is a fast
• 30:01
  Speaker 11: ramp Todd.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Speaking of free for all, who are you hearing? As names?
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: I know Nancy Mace has already jumped down there with
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: some very very inappropriate memes. You've got Ralph Norman, whose
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: name is being ambat it about who are you hearing?
• 30:19
  Speaker 11: So those two, for sure, there are actually three that
• 30:22
  Speaker 11: ran for governor that all lost. Ralph Norman, Pamela Evitt
• 30:26
  Speaker 11: the lieutenant governor, the current lieutenant governor, and Nancy Mace,
• 30:29
  Speaker 11: who are all pretty much going to be in. I
• 30:32
  Speaker 11: don't think the field is set. I'm really not at
• 30:34
  Speaker 11: liberty to tell you some of the back story, but
• 30:37
  Speaker 11: I think that there's more to come, and it's going
• 30:40
  Speaker 11: to happen really quickly. I think Russell Fry, the Congressman
• 30:44
  Speaker 11: from the seventh district. I think Sherry Biggs, the congresswoman
• 30:47
  Speaker 11: from the third district. We got a deep bench and
• 30:49
  Speaker 11: that's a huge blessing. The wild card is President Trump
• 30:54
  Speaker 11: is he knows we can't have a weak candidate. There's
• 30:57
  Speaker 11: the Democrats are going to pour money in here, and
• 30:59
  Speaker 11: we don't want to move resources from a Georgia or
• 31:01
  Speaker 11: North Carolina or another state that needs it into a
• 31:04
  Speaker 11: ruby red South Carolina. So this is going to be entertaining.
• 31:09
  Speaker 11: To say the least, they're all innantly qualified. I think
• 31:12
  Speaker 11: it comes down to what Trump does. And let's face it,
• 31:14
  Speaker 11: Mike Johnson has a razor thin margin two. He does
• 31:18
  Speaker 11: not want to lose a sitting congressman. That'd be Sherry
• 31:21
  Speaker 11: Biggs and Russell Fry. So the drama is going to
• 31:23
  Speaker 11: be high.
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: Brother.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, the other part of it is Ralph Norman,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: who we all love, House Freedom Coccuss guy, I mean,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: is rock solid conservative, unfortunately seventy three years old. So
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: you're looking at okay, does the you know, when you're
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: electing a lawmaker, you looking for the next Lindsay Graham,
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: somebody that could be there for the next you know,
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: twenty thirty years or are you looking for another placeholder
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: for the next you know, for the for however long.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Lindsay's well, his term was up, so you're looking at
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: a six year term here. So I'm curious that your
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: thoughts on that.
• 31:57
  Speaker 11: You know, Ralph's got to be one of the front runners.
• 31:59
  Speaker 11: He's got his own he's been a very successful business guy,
• 32:02
  Speaker 11: and he's got great name idea. He's a solid conservative,
• 32:05
  Speaker 11: no question, He's been all over the state and he
• 32:07
  Speaker 11: just ran for governor, so you got to think he's
• 32:09
  Speaker 11: one of the front runners. How much they consider that factor,
• 32:12
  Speaker 11: I don't know. You know, what does President Trump do.
• 32:16
  Speaker 11: Pamela Evatt just lost and got shellacked in the governor's
• 32:19
  Speaker 11: race and had the Trump's endorsement and had the governor's endorsement,
• 32:23
  Speaker 11: so that's another dynamic. And then you've got Nancy Mace.
• 32:27
  Speaker 11: How does Trump see her? You know, and she play
• 32:30
  Speaker 11: a major factor in this. And the real question is
• 32:33
  Speaker 11: how much money can they raise. They've all got the
• 32:35
  Speaker 11: name idea. They just spent a bunch of money statewide
• 32:38
  Speaker 11: running for governor a month ago. So, like I said,
• 32:41
  Speaker 11: I don't think the field is set with those three.
• 32:43
  Speaker 11: It's going to be interesting to watch, and I believe
• 32:45
  Speaker 11: by the end of today or tomorrow, you're gonna hear
• 32:47
  Speaker 11: about some more names that jump in.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: One name you didn't mention my friend Nicky Hayley.
• 32:53
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I thought Nicky was in, and then I heard
• 32:56
  Speaker 11: today and somebody sent me a tweet x that she
• 33:00
  Speaker 11: said she's not going to get in. Nikki would have
• 33:03
  Speaker 11: mixed it up, no question about it. She still got
• 33:05
  Speaker 11: a base here and she's got the name ID to
• 33:09
  Speaker 11: go out and win, and she can certainly raise the
• 33:11
  Speaker 11: money that she'd have needed in a short ramp. But listen,
• 33:14
  Speaker 11: this primary is August eleventh. We went back and looked
• 33:18
  Speaker 11: at state statue yesterday. The trigger is a sudden death
• 33:22
  Speaker 11: or resignation of a sitting member, and then the governor appoints.
• 33:26
  Speaker 11: But the filing opens on the second Tuesday following the
• 33:29
  Speaker 11: event that triggers it. That's a week from tomorrow. Wow,
• 33:32
  Speaker 11: filings open a week and then the primary is August eleventh.
• 33:36
  Speaker 11: So name I d in money matter, and whoever wins
• 33:38
  Speaker 11: this is going to have to pull all that off
• 33:40
  Speaker 11: really quickly.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: You know the other the other part of that. And
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: by the way, we love Jim Dement and of course
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: you know he was the senator. He'd be great, but
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: again he's got the same age issue, and I think
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: I have to imagine the the voters are going to
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: be looking at age as a factor. But I want
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: to step back for just a moment. There was some
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: polling out there that showed Lindsey was going to be
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: in a pretty tough race. I don't know how legitimate
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: those polling numbers were, but does do the Democrats have
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: a strong enough candidate where they could make a run
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: at this?
• 34:14
  Speaker 11: You know, I've seen the additional OPO file on doctor
• 34:17
  Speaker 11: Annie Andrews, and I know Lindsay was underwater in his
• 34:23
  Speaker 11: primary at first too, and then he really campaigned and
• 34:25
  Speaker 11: started putting a message out there. I don't think so.
• 34:29
  Speaker 11: Because she's for sexual mutization, mutilation of children. She's for
• 34:33
  Speaker 11: you know, killing babies up to and including birth. Apparently,
• 34:37
  Speaker 11: she's for defunding the police. She's got kind of a
• 34:40
  Speaker 11: dream list for us to run against on the conservative side.
• 34:44
  Speaker 11: I sure hope she can't win. I think the question
• 34:47
  Speaker 11: is how much money do the Democrats pour in here
• 34:50
  Speaker 11: that makes us put money here that takes it from
• 34:53
  Speaker 11: a state that is more of a competitive race. I
• 34:56
  Speaker 11: think we'll win it regardless, but it could get interesting
• 34:59
  Speaker 11: if we we don't put the right person in place.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: All right, Chad Connolly a great intel. There a lot
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: of intrigue, a lot of political intrigue in the Palmetto State,
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: and we're going to be following all of that. Chad.
• 35:10

• 35:13

• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Radio Show. I mean at all in all honesty, Dylan,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go back to this whole idea of
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: radio shows that hate callers that it makes absolutely no
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: sense to me. And I think the you know, we
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: have some of our regulars that we love hearing from
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: a lot. I mean, for example, you've got the sweet
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Miss Patty and North Carolina and Joe from Ella Jay,
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: and you've got I mean all over the country, we've
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: got great we have great callers and great listeners. I
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: just I just don't understand radio show hosts that have
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: that sort of disdain for their audience.
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: It's got to be some sort of snobby like I'm better,
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: I know more than the callers, like like you mentioned
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: it before, like the guy that you know didn't want
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: to take callers, Like his whole point was, well, they're
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: not going to make anything now, and to what people
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: would want to listen to.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: I know. It's the it's the mentality of I know everything,
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: you know nothing people, You sit and you absorb knowledge, right, Okay, Yeah,
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: that's that's just not gonna fly. That's that's not gonna work.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: By the way, I mean, you could, I mean, we
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: could do a three Do you really want three hours
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: of a lecture. Do you want three hours of me
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: screaming at you?
• 37:23
  Speaker 9: No?
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't even if I got

• 39:24
  Speaker 2: keep you updated on all of those moving parts. Well,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: one of the great success stories of the Trump administration
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: has been what's happening in the area of the Department
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: of Homeland Security. We have seen this administration attack crime
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: head on and go after the bad guys and also
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: go after all of those that are coming into this
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: country illegally. I want to go right away to our
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile news maker line and say hello to Deputy
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Secretary Troy Edgar. Mister Secretary, great to have you with
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: us today.
• 40:01
  Speaker 8: Hey, thank you, Todd. Great to be on the show.
• 40:02
  Speaker 12: Appreciate it.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: And I have to tell you congratulations. I know, so
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: you guys catch a lot of you know what in
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: the mainstream media, but I hope you guys know that
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: the average American is incredibly grateful for the work that
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: you guys have been doing.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:16
  Speaker 8: No, I see as a secretary and I travel all
• 40:19
  Speaker 8: over the US and we get a lot of people
• 40:21
  Speaker 8: coming up to us and are very appreciative of all
• 40:23
  Speaker 8: the work, and we're just grateful to serve the President
• 40:26
  Speaker 8: and carry out US agenda.
• 40:27
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: One of the things that we've been huge proponents of
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: the Memphis for example, I'm from Memphis, Tennessee. That's my hometown,
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: and our city was under siege. I mean, just some
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: of the finest people in the nation live here. We
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: have one of the most beautiful, quirky cities in America,
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: and yet the Democrats have just allowed the criminals to
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: run roughshod. The President sends in all of the help,
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: the federal assets, and it's really been amazing to see
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: that crime the crime numbers just here in the Memphis
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: area have completely plummeted.
• 41:00
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you know that that was a very successful task
• 41:03
  Speaker 8: force that we put together. I think we had over
• 41:05
  Speaker 8: I think ten thousand arrests, a lot of firearms found,
• 41:09
  Speaker 8: probably over fifteen seventeen hundred, and like you said, our
• 41:13
  Speaker 8: big focus within homeland security and working with all of
• 41:16
  Speaker 8: our law enforcement partners has been resolved, you know, really
• 41:19
  Speaker 8: focusing on just making sure that we're doing more than
• 41:21
  Speaker 8: just putting presence on the street, but actually getting results
• 41:24
  Speaker 8: for the American people.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about about those results and what have
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: you guys been seeing nationwide?
• 41:32
  Speaker 8: Well, I think you know, coming from Homeland Security, you know,
• 41:36
  Speaker 8: obviously you know my focus today is I wanted to
• 41:39
  Speaker 8: talk to you about the Homeland Security Task Force, which
• 41:41
  Speaker 8: really focuses on transnational crime, you know, the cartels, ftos,
• 41:45
  Speaker 8: et cetera. But you know, you mentioned that we get
• 41:48
  Speaker 8: a lot of stuff when we're on the road from
• 41:51
  Speaker 8: different people, and a lot of that has to do
• 41:52
  Speaker 8: with our focus on deportation or what we call tidal
• 41:55
  Speaker 8: laid immigration, and so you know, a lot of that activity.
• 41:59
  Speaker 8: You know, we've been very focused if you look at
• 42:02
  Speaker 8: what the President ran on in his campaign platform and
• 42:05
  Speaker 8: that the Secretary is kind of enveloped into his strategy
• 42:08
  Speaker 8: and I execute on a daily basis, as you know,
• 42:10
  Speaker 8: first of all, steal the border and from that focused
• 42:14
  Speaker 8: on deportations and then at that point be able to
• 42:17
  Speaker 8: go out there and make sure that we have an
• 42:18
  Speaker 8: effective and running law enforcement where Homeland Security Task Force
• 42:23
  Speaker 8: fits in. So it's you know, we've been out there
• 42:26
  Speaker 8: with great partnerships, you know, in different cities, and we
• 42:29
  Speaker 8: still have challenges in cities and states that are still
• 42:32
  Speaker 8: covered in sanctuary.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Well and that's you know, that of course, is going
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: to be a long term issue. I mean, this is
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: this is a problem that didn't happen overnight. And I know,
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: you guys must get frustrated when you see, you know,
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: conservatives of the media say all right, this is good,
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: but we want more.
• 42:49
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Well, you know, Tod you mentioned you know, you're
• 42:51
  Speaker 8: from Memphis. I'm from California, and so even just last
• 42:55
  Speaker 8: week I was with the Homeland Security Task Force. I
• 42:57
  Speaker 8: was out meeting in Los Angeles, you know, meeting with
• 43:00
  Speaker 8: the law enforcement partners. They're in a big part of
• 43:03
  Speaker 8: our success for this initiative, Homeland Security Task Forces to
• 43:07
  Speaker 8: really kind of increase our partnerships. And you know, we
• 43:09
  Speaker 8: really can't leave out those, you know, those cities like
• 43:13
  Speaker 8: sanctuary cities like Los Angeles and big states because a
• 43:16
  Speaker 8: lot of the crime is happening there. So we you know,
• 43:18
  Speaker 8: outside of just trying to focus on i'll call it
• 43:22
  Speaker 8: friendly states and cities. We have to establish those relationships
• 43:26
  Speaker 8: and those sanctuary cities where major crime is happening, is is.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: There going to be an effort And this may be
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: above your purview, but again defunding these sanctuary cities, what
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: are some things that can be done at the federal level.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: You know, if these if these sanctuary cities are not
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: going to be cooperative with Homeland Security, do you guys
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: have workarounds?
• 43:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah? I mean it's you know, the one thing that
• 43:51
  Speaker 8: you know, the present has been very focused on is
• 43:53
  Speaker 8: using the whulo government. You know, when we kind of
• 43:56
  Speaker 8: go through i mean Homeland security, if you look at
• 43:57
  Speaker 8: it from the highest level, three different components. We talk
• 44:01
  Speaker 8: a lot about, you know, law enforcement like cbp ICE,
• 44:06
  Speaker 8: et cetera, Secret service, but you know, we also have
• 44:10
  Speaker 8: tools out there in FEMA where we administer the you
• 44:12
  Speaker 8: know a lot of the emergency declaration activity and some
• 44:16
  Speaker 8: of the different grants that are out there that help
• 44:18
  Speaker 8: law enforcement. And you know, those are areas that we've
• 44:21
  Speaker 8: got to work with the partners, and you know, if
• 44:23
  Speaker 8: the cities and the states aren't being as cooperative, you know,
• 44:27
  Speaker 8: we've got to be able to use the tools that
• 44:29
  Speaker 8: are out there I think you'd heard, and I'm not
• 44:32
  Speaker 8: saying that this was going forward, but you heard our
• 44:34
  Speaker 8: secretary about three weeks ago talk about pulling customs from
• 44:38
  Speaker 8: major international airports right in the middle of the sanctuary cities,
• 44:43
  Speaker 8: just as a lover, you know. And obviously we had
• 44:46
  Speaker 8: a pretty good reaction from the airline industry from that.
• 44:49
  Speaker 8: But I you know, I mean it's those types of things.
• 44:51
  Speaker 8: Is that you know, law enforcement at the federal level,
• 44:54
  Speaker 8: we have to do this because it's our you know,
• 44:56
  Speaker 8: it's basically what's written into the laws and the authorities.
• 44:59
  Speaker 8: But where we pray ties is really at the description
• 45:02
  Speaker 8: of the Secretary, and I think that's something that we've
• 45:04
  Speaker 8: been very focused to, you know, to try and balance.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: DHS Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar joining us on our Patriot
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: Mobile newsmaker line today. And of course when you look
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: at all the headlines, Miami Homeland Security Task Force charges
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: dozens in South Florida with federal firearm and drug trafficking crimes.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: You mentioned Los Angeles gang members on sex trafficking charges
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: is just insane. The level of crime out there.
• 45:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, you know, the like I said Todd at
• 45:35
  Speaker 8: the beginning, you know, we really are focused on results.
• 45:38
  Speaker 8: You know, this Homeland Security Task Force that you know
• 45:41
  Speaker 8: the President day one when he came in, he wanted
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: you know, I think everybody read he had about one
• 45:45
  Speaker 8: hundred and ninety different executive orders, but this one was
• 45:49
  Speaker 8: very focused and specific, which established kind of a whole
• 45:52
  Speaker 8: of government kind of combining you know, what would have
• 45:54
  Speaker 8: been all these different individual law enforcement silos, whether it
• 45:58
  Speaker 8: was in atf FB DEA, the Marshall's Bureau, Prisons, or
• 46:03
  Speaker 8: even Homeland Security HSI, the Homeland Security Investigations which focuses
• 46:08
  Speaker 8: on counter terrorism and that transnational crime. Those groups were
• 46:13
  Speaker 8: working independently. So President Trump, we inherited a pretty dysfunctional
• 46:19
  Speaker 8: group when we first came in. And basically what that
• 46:21
  Speaker 8: executive order did is set up this Homeland Security Task
• 46:24
  Speaker 8: Force and put everything under a unified command. And you know,
• 46:27
  Speaker 8: we kicked that off in January and went live in September,
• 46:32
  Speaker 8: and it's been very successful and we've been able to
• 46:35
  Speaker 8: really kind of get a good big jump start on
• 46:37
  Speaker 8: a lot of the stats that you started to talk
• 46:39
  Speaker 8: about just a few minutes ago.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a big phrase. Maybe we should break
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: it down for our listeners. Transnational criminal organizations. What specifically
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: are you guys talking about and who are you guys targeting?
• 46:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah, these are primarily gangs and cartels. So if you remember,
• 46:58
  Speaker 8: the President came out and basically determined you know, some
• 47:01
  Speaker 8: very specific transnational criminal organizations, and from those, once they
• 47:06
  Speaker 8: were determined to be, you know, in this determinate, they
• 47:09
  Speaker 8: were able to use different authorities, you know, both in
• 47:13
  Speaker 8: law enforcement and intelligence, Department of War. So basically gives
• 47:17
  Speaker 8: us the authority to to really throw everything that we
• 47:20
  Speaker 8: could around the whole of government. But you know, if
• 47:23
  Speaker 8: you kind of look at that and you see, you know,
• 47:25
  Speaker 8: really focuses on stuff like you talked about, you know,
• 47:28
  Speaker 8: the financial crimes, anything to do with drugs, human trafficking.
• 47:33
  Speaker 8: And then as we have been getting really smarter, we've
• 47:36
  Speaker 8: been to pointing off after a lot of cyber crime
• 47:39
  Speaker 8: and and stuff like that to really kind of make
• 47:41
  Speaker 8: sure that you know, we're really putting the whole of
• 47:43
  Speaker 8: government on them.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: Mister Surgery, I really appreciated something you wrote on your
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: X feed and by the way, or actually the Secretary
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: posted and you reposted regarding a Congress Roman j O. Paul,
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: and I think it really does highlight, Uh, what you
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: guys are dealing with. It's not just that you're fighting
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: the bad guys and you're trying to stop very dangerous
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: criminals and these transnational criminal organizations, but you're also having
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: to fight Congress. I mean, Jao Paul writing, every single
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: person who voted to get billions more to ICE last
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: month should be ashamed. Not one more cent of our
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: taxpayer's dollars should fund this lawless rogue agency. The Secretary
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: responding to the Congress, and when you ought to be
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: ashamed of yourself for protecting criminals and prioritizing them over
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: law abiding American citizen, he is absolutely correct about that.
• 48:33
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, it's interesting, the Secretary and I just
• 48:36
  Speaker 8: got done with three hearings on Capitol Hill about our
• 48:41
  Speaker 8: appropriations and questions, and you know, how you really do?
• 48:45
  Speaker 8: You know, I'm sure down deep inside on both sides
• 48:47
  Speaker 8: of the aisle they really care about of America. But
• 48:49
  Speaker 8: it's a different view of America. And you know, when
• 48:53
  Speaker 8: you see stuff like if you presented there with Jao Paul,
• 48:57
  Speaker 8: it's hard, you know, when you look at this, especially
• 48:59
  Speaker 8: when you're on the streets and you see actual, real
• 49:01
  Speaker 8: crime happening. You see, you know that we're really focused on,
• 49:05
  Speaker 8: you know, trying to help families, trying to go make
• 49:07
  Speaker 8: sure that these people don't come into the country and
• 49:09
  Speaker 8: commit these things, and you on the other side of
• 49:12
  Speaker 8: you it's about protecting their rights and freedoms. It's it's
• 49:15
  Speaker 8: pretty mind blowing.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: It is. Well, we certainly appreciate the great work that
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: you guys are doing. What is it that the American
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: people can do. You know, we have a pretty active
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: audience and they love supporting, especially law enforcement. What is
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: it that they can do to help you guys out
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: in the mission there at DHS.
• 49:34
  Speaker 8: Well, I think right now, the I mean the mission
• 49:37
  Speaker 8: if you think about it, I you know, I always
• 49:39
  Speaker 8: tell people that people don't realize DHS in total touches
• 49:43
  Speaker 8: a lot of people everyday life. You know, whether you're
• 49:46
  Speaker 8: going to the airport and checking in through TSA. You know,
• 49:49
  Speaker 8: you're going to get a passport and you're dealing at
• 49:52
  Speaker 8: the airport and going with customs, all these different activities.
• 49:57
  Speaker 8: You know, we're always you know, having to interact. I
• 50:00
  Speaker 8: just don't think people realize that these people that are
• 50:03
  Speaker 8: doing all the work are actually you know, really completing
• 50:06
  Speaker 8: the activities that the law has asked us to do.
• 50:09
  Speaker 8: And I think a lot of people don't have a
• 50:11
  Speaker 8: complete appreciation for that. And I know your audience definitely
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: is supportive. But you know it's right now again going
• 50:18
  Speaker 8: back to the Homeland Security Task Force, we really are
• 50:20
  Speaker 8: trying to focus on the local law enforcement partnership, so
• 50:24
  Speaker 8: you know, working with the county sheriffs and the police
• 50:28
  Speaker 8: and the police chiefs and really in these communities and
• 50:30
  Speaker 8: trying to make sure that we know we're you know,
• 50:33
  Speaker 8: we have a good relationship and we communicate with them.
• 50:35
  Speaker 8: And I think, you know, with your audience, just being
• 50:37
  Speaker 8: out there and being supportive, I think that's just very helpful.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: Are you getting that support, for example, from a place
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: like in Memphis, Tennessee. Are you getting support from local
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: law enforcement leadership?
• 50:50
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's a little bit different when it
• 50:53
  Speaker 8: really kind of starts at the top. You know, when
• 50:55
  Speaker 8: you go into a state with a governor, a city
• 50:59
  Speaker 8: with the mayor, and you know, county leaders, you know
• 51:02
  Speaker 8: it really they make a determination if they're going to
• 51:05
  Speaker 8: accept the help. And you know, one thing that President
• 51:07
  Speaker 8: Trump and Secretary Mullen has been focused on is that
• 51:09
  Speaker 8: you know, you know, we we don't start out by
• 51:12
  Speaker 8: just saying that we're just policing one side of the aisle.
• 51:14
  Speaker 8: We're here to help the American people and that really
• 51:18
  Speaker 8: that really shouldn't matter what side you're on. But I
• 51:21
  Speaker 8: think that, you know, when we're going out to these
• 51:23
  Speaker 8: different locations, I think Memphis being one of them. You know,
• 51:25
  Speaker 8: it's been very helpful even d C here in Washington,
• 51:28
  Speaker 8: d C. You know, we've with with the mayor here.
• 51:30
  Speaker 8: You know, she got behind our focus and trying to
• 51:34
  Speaker 8: make DC safe. And you know, as we're celebrating the
• 51:37
  Speaker 8: freedom to fifty and doing all the different types of
• 51:39
  Speaker 8: activities that we've been focused on. You know, it's the
• 51:43
  Speaker 8: city is you know, very been very supportive and so
• 51:47
  Speaker 8: and when you see that just like the statue called
• 51:50
  Speaker 8: out for, Memphis had a significant decrease in crime, it's.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: Been pretty remarkable. All Right, mister Secretary, We're going to
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: have to leave it there, but we appreciate you joining
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: us and giving us an update on what you guys

  Speaker 2: nine two six. You know a lot of people think
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: a reverse mortgage means more debt, But what if it
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: actually meant less stress. If you're over sixty two, you've
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: spent decades paying into your home and the question is
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: should your home only work for the bank or could
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: it work for you? Well, my friends at Mortgage Movement

• 53:06
  Speaker 2: you're gonna see real scenarios, you're gonna get real options,
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: and you're gonna learn why reverse mortgages today are far

  Speaker 2: or visit movement dot com slash Starns. All right, welcome everybody.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: This is a Ton Starns radio show. No I Dylan.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he's alive or not. I'm talking
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: about Mitch McConnell. You know it was I sort of
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: went viral over the weekend, and I didn't mean to
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: go viral. You know, Scott Jennings, he's the guy over
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: at to CNN. He's the token conservative over there. So
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of people may not realize this,
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: but he is. He is cut from the cloth of
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: the establishment Republican and I know people, but he's a conservative.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: But Ton, he's a conservative, yes, But Mitt Romney would
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: look like a conservative if he were on CNN, I'm
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: just I'm just telling you so, and there's nothing wrong
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: with it, is just that he's not He's really not
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: all that conservative at the end of the day. So anyway,
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: Scott Jennings went out there and he was talking about
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: how he had talked to Mitch McCollough because everybody thinks
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: he's dead and nobody knows. Nobody knows. So here's what
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: I did. And this got three point one million views
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: on x and I didn't mean for it too. I
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: just everybody's sharing this and I didn't even make a
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: commentary about him. But CNN issued a statement to The
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: Daily This is what I wrote. CNN issued a statement
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: to The Daily Beast regarding Scott jennings alleged twenty minute
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: chat with Senator Mitch McConnell. Quote as a CNN political commentator,
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: Scott Jennings is not a full time employee or journalist
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: for the network. His account of a personal conversation with
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: Senator McConnell reflects his experience and is not CNN reporting.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: So I just asked a simple question after this, and
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: here's what I asked. Was CNN not able to verify
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: their own political commentators reporting, which is a fair question.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: It's like, are they throwing this guy into the bus?
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: What's going on? And ladies and gentlemen, do you think
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: Mitch McConnell has well did he welcome Lindsey Graham to
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: the Pearly Gates nine oh one two six zero five
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: nine two six. Oh, that's not uncouth. I mean, everybody's wondering.
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: We'll be right back.
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: And help.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: And hello everybody, this is welcome back to the Todd
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: Starts Radio Show. Not quite sure what happened there or
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: if we are we are on the air. My apologies,
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. I have some headphone issues that we
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: probably need to get worked out. Guys. Uh, nine oh
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six is our
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero five
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: nine two six. And guys, if you could just somebody
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: bring in some headphone here to the studio, that would
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: be great.
• 57:03
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: One of the other big stories we've been following, of course,
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: is the Charlie Kirk trial, and that the at least
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: the preliminary hearing the trial has yet to get underway.
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: I want to bring into the conversation a good friend
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: of this program. She is a great Newsmax contributor and columnist.
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: Wendy Patrick. Wendy, good to have you with us today.
• 57:24
  Speaker 13: Always a pleasure to join you. Todd.
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: All right, Wendy, let's just get right to this. I
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: know you've actually been covering all of this preliminary hearing,
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: and there was really some fascinating, fascinating courtroom drama last week.
• 57:39
  Speaker 13: Oh, Todd, that's the understatement of the week, isn't it.
• 57:41
  Speaker 10: Yes, there was, And I can see why you would
• 57:43
  Speaker 10: use the word trial because you would think that's what
• 57:46
  Speaker 10: you were watching with the extent to which the evidence
• 57:49
  Speaker 10: was developed was questioned, cross examined, authenticated, distributed, published to
• 57:53
  Speaker 10: the jury and to the public. But what we actually
• 57:56
  Speaker 10: saw last week, believed it or not, was just that
• 57:59
  Speaker 10: the preliminary hearing, which Todd is a probable cause hearing
• 58:03
  Speaker 10: usually not meant to last longer than a day. But
• 58:06
  Speaker 10: here they really did develop a lot of the dots
• 58:10
  Speaker 10: they needed to connect, because, unlike many murders that are
• 58:13
  Speaker 10: just open and shut, this one had a lot of
• 58:16
  Speaker 10: circumstantial evidence that the prosecutor took time to put together.
• 58:20
  Speaker 10: And I have to say, if I were to summarize
• 58:22
  Speaker 10: last week, although this was an assassination in broad daylight,
• 58:27
  Speaker 10: the prosecution had to put together the reality the defendant
• 58:30
  Speaker 10: was a man with a plan on and murder on
• 58:33
  Speaker 10: his mind as he ian chose this spot to take
• 58:37
  Speaker 10: that sniper shot and then admitted it to his roommate afterwards.
• 58:41
  Speaker 10: So we saw all that. It took five days, but
• 58:43
  Speaker 10: now it's an evidence.
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: Wendy, Here's what Here's what gets me is that for weeks,
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: four months really leading up to this preliminary hearing, you
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: there were so many conspiracy theories that were being spewed
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: into microphones and podcast around the nation. You've heard stuff
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: from Charlotte, from Tucker Carlson and Candae Owens, and the
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: list goes on and on and on. And I'm wondering
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: if any of those and by the way, everything they
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: alleged turned out to be disproved in that courtroom.
• 59:18
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 59:18
  Speaker 10: You know, I often say that credible evidence is the
• 59:22
  Speaker 10: antidote for conspiracy theories because you can't just listen to podcasters.
• 59:26
  Speaker 10: You have to actually see what's happening in the courtroom.
• 59:29
  Speaker 10: You know, one thing about this preliminary hearing that distinguishes
• 59:33
  Speaker 10: it from a lot of other cases. I mean, I've
• 59:34
  Speaker 10: been doing this for thirty years, Todd, and you don't
• 59:37
  Speaker 10: often setail. I mean the judge had both sides jumped
• 59:42
  Speaker 10: through hoops. No, it didn't even matter what kind of
• 59:44
  Speaker 10: evidence that they were seeking to admit. They talked about publication, reliability, relevancy, hearsay.
• 59:50
  Speaker 10: I mean, everything was so well vetted that it's hard
• 59:54
  Speaker 10: to have a conspiracy theory around evidence that's been so
• 59:58
  Speaker 10: argued by both sides and deemed to be authentic and admissible.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 10: So I often say, you know, if you're wondering what
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 10: this case is about, don't you know, watch the court
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 10: of public opinion, watch the trial, watch the preliminary hearing,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 10: watch the court of law. And Todd, we're just beginning
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 10: in terms of what's going to be presented. A probable
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 10: cause hearing is just that it does not involve introducing
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 10: the huge swath of evidence that's going to be admissible
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 10: at trial. In fact, it intentionally is not for that purpose,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 10: because we're trying to find a way to select a
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 10: fair jury that will ensure this defendant receives due process.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 10: You can't do that if you have everything in the
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 10: kitchen sink out there in the public realm for them
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 10: to consume when perhaps not all of it will be
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 10: admissible at trial.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: All right, so the hearing has ended, And what was
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: the point of the preliminary hearing itself?
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 10: The point of the preliminary hearing itself was to introduce
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 10: enough evidence for the judge to decide if there's enough
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 10: to bind it over for trial.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 13: Now, normally, you know, that is a cut and case.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 10: It happens automatically, and certainly there's plenty of evidence here,
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 10: far more than they would need.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 13: But the defense is allowed to challenge that.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 10: And sometimes it happens orally at the end of a
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 10: prelim and the prosecution would have been okay with that,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 10: but the defense asks.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 13: For extra time.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 10: So the judge set this September first date for oral
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 10: argument and for him to make a final ruling.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 13: Now, what's going to happen in the meantime, Todd?
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 10: In the meantime is going to be the most unsexy
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 10: behind the scene jobs that we do as prosecutors and
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 10: defense attorneys, researching and writing. Both sides are going to
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 10: brief all of the issues, and the defense goes first,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 10: so they have, you know, two weeks or so to
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 10: deliver their brief, the prosecution gets time to respond, judge
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 10: gets time to read it. So actually September one, Todd
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 10: is not an unduly burd the future court date.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 13: It's a fair court date.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 10: Considering the amount of work that has to be done
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 10: between now and then behind the scenes.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: All right, Wendy Patrick joining us on our Patriot Mobile
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: newsmaker line, do we have any indication of why the
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: judge did not rule on Friday? And what happens now?
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: What are we waiting on?
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 13: Yes, we do.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 10: He told us why he didn't rule on Friday because
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 10: the defense is a title to if they wish brief
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 10: issues that they would like the judge to consider there
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 10: with respect to the bind over, now we worry if
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 10: he didn't do this, it would put potentially compromise the
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 10: integrity of the conviction and maybe even the death sentence
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 10: down the line, if a reviewing court, a higher court,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 10: and a pellet court or to say, wait a minute,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 10: you should have had the defense have an opportunity to
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 10: knock out some of those charges or take the death
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 10: penalty off the table if they wished. So that's the
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 10: reason he's indulging that request. You know, the prosecution can't
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 10: really argue with that. Nobody wants to see the case
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 10: tried again. What happens now, Todd is the judge will
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 10: rule on September first, and hopefully also on that date
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 10: they'll set a trial. Is going to be at least
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 10: a good date of potential closure in the future for
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 10: Erica Kirk and the Kirk family.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: Wendy Patrick joining us on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line Wendy.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: In addition to the court case, a lot happening in
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: the world of politics. Of course, everybody's been focused on
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: South Carolina, but they're in California. You guys are fighting
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: the good fight. Gavin Newsom is under fire, and I
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: think a lot of people are just fed up with
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: the way the Democrats have run California into the ground.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: Just curious how things are going out on the campaign trail.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: What are you hearing about Steve Hilton.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 10: Well, I know there's a lot of support for Steve Hilton,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 10: and that has been a groundswell of support before, including
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 10: and after the primary, and I love to see that.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 10: And you know, it's one of those races that it
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 10: has been closely watched for a very long time. But
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 10: neither candidate can deny the reality that Californians are frustrated affordability, economy,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 10: the borders, community safety, healthcare, education. I mean, I can
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 10: go on and on problems on the minds of many people.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 10: Most recently continues to be the prices. You know, we've
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 10: been promised prices are going to go down. We've been
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 10: promised the cost of living is going to become easier.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 10: I think patients is beginning to wane, and that's also
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 10: probably because we have very hot summers here.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 13: So is this a compilation of factors that big people irritable?
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 13: But I've just heard that a lot, so I would
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 13: be surprised if both candidates are scrambling.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 10: Behind the scenes to see can we give any kind
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 10: of short term relief of any kind so that we
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 10: can all make it through the summer and begin to focus.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 13: On the midterms.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: You know, it's a great point. There's a there was
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: a piece in Fox News today Christian Christian Atlas or
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: Altis rather, was the writer. It was in Fox Business.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: Food cost have surged thirty two percent over the past
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: five years. Middle class families among the hardest hit. And
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: the point of this is that many Americans are now
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: having to turn to their credit cards just to keep
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: food on the table. This according to a study they
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: cited there in Fox News. The Urban Institute is the
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: organization they reached out to. Are you guys seeing that
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: issue out in California?
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 10: Yes, and Todd, that has to be one of the
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 10: very top issues that's being discussed, and I mean being
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 10: discussed around the kitchen table as well as on the airwaves.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 10: You know the fact that you have to use a
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 10: credit card and then you can't pay off the credit card,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 10: then interest begins accruing.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 12: It is an.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 13: Absolutely downward spiral.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 10: And that is one of the reasons that I think
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 10: so many people are becoming so savvy as to, you know,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 10: let's really devote time trying to figure out how we
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 10: can cut costs.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 13: In other areas.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 10: I have been used to say, this is probably why
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 10: there are as many cars on the freeway nowadays. I mean,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 10: it's become intolerable, and it's such a beautiful place to
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 10: live in terms of climate, in terms of you know,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 10: I love the people there. I'm a California native, but
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 10: how do you continue to make it work? You know,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 10: the California dream is becoming unaffordable, So that is going
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 10: to be one of the issues front and center for
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 10: both candidates as they go towards the election.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: All Right, Wendy Patrick. Always good having you on the show.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: We're going to be looking ahead towards the September court data.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: We'll definitely get you on between now and then. But
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: we always appreciate the great work and commentary you bring
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: to the show.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 13: Thank you, Todd.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: All Right, Wendy Patrick, everybody, sorry, we had some hiccups there,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: a little connectivity issues. All Right, we're going to take
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: a break here. I am curious of this Fox News study.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: It says an overwhelming majority of working class Americans are
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: now having to use their credit cards to buy groceries.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: And the problem there is that now people are having
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: a very difficult time trying to figure out how in
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: the world they're going to be able to pay their
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: credit card bills. And I'm wondering if that is you,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, have any of you had those issues
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: where you are finding people within your circle of friends
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: and they're just having a difficult time figuring out how
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: to put food on the table. This study that was
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: cited by Fox News, I want to bring this back up,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: this is pretty fascinating. It's that sixty three percent of
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: working class Americans ages eighteen to sixty four charged grocery
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: purchases to credit cards last year. More than one quarter
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: of those individuals encountered repayment struggles. Additionally, the share of
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: individuals who failed to make the minimum payment on credit
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: cards used for grocery purchases increased from seven point one
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: percent in twenty twenty three to eight point seven percent
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five. By now pay Later, installment plans
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: were used by eight point nine percent of adults to
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: secure food, and more than a third of those users
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: failed to make an installment payment on time. Those hit
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: hardest by the food cost middle income earners middle class
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: families earning between two hundred percent and four hundred percent
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: of the federal poverty level seeing missed minimum credit card
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: payments on food jump from nine point three percent to
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: twelve point three percent. So there you have it again,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: more evidence that that even though Washington may tell us
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: that everything is hunky dory with the economy, things are
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: not hunky dory with the economy. Just jet all right,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Sterns Show. All right, welcome back everybody.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: This is the ton Stearns Radio Show. Hampy to have
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: you with us today. Getting some indication that there has
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: been some sort of an incident at Senator Susan Collins
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: office in Maine. So this would be her district office
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: where a massive mob has just stormed the office building.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: This was happening, we believe in Portland, the mob trying
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: to break into her office. You know, here's what gets me.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: And by the way, all of this is because over
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: the weekend there was a shooting. A driver tried to
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: ram ICE agents with his vehicle and ICE agents open fire.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: By the way, we've got video of the mob storming
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: into the office. They're breaking into the senator's office on
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: Todd Stearns dot Com. I would encourage you to go
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: and check out the video there as we follow this
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: the developing story. By the way, same thing happened in Memphis, Tennessee.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: Same thing happened in Houston. So here's a rule of
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: thumb for all you illegal aliens out there. If if
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: you don't want to get shot, don't try to ram
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: an ICE officer with your vehicle. I mean, it really is.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: It's really that simple, actually, I mean it really is.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: So there you have it. We will keep you updated.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: But again the breaking news headline out of Maine anti
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: ice off rioters are storming the office of Senator Susan Collins,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: and you can watch that video exclusively at Todd Stearns
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: dot com. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: two six is our telephone number. That's nine oh one
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six. Dylan. Have you
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: seen the video coming out of Yellowstone of the grandpa
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: that got attacked by the bise?
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 7: I have I've seen the video.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: What the heck?
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 7: That's a big animal.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: Grandpa went airborne?
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 7: He did, he went eight feet in the air.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: I heard he's okay. I think he got baked up.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: He's gonna be okay.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 7: Some say he was laughing and making jokes after it happened.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: To Well, you got to. I mean, I think the
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: bison was like looking for missus bison. I think that's
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: what was going down.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 7: So you're saying he may have mistaken this man for
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 7: a bison.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: Well no, but it's a good thing he did not.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: That would have been very awkward, been a way worse. Yeah,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: poor grandpa would have been rocking with a bow or something.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 7: I didn't even know. Bison like did that kind of charge,
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 7: Like he charged at him and they like did the
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 7: bull like he threw him up in the air.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: There are literally signs around yellow Zone do not pet
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: the furry cows. So this was like, this was like
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: an assault cow. It was. This was not like a
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: gentle little you know, let's see the milk cow.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 7: That thing was running fast.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: This was an assault. This was an assault bow vine.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 7: Did you see when it got stuck like on the tree,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 7: It almost took the tree down.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't even can't even imagine. And the poor guy,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: grandpa was trying to run around, he was trying to hide.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 12: You know.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: A lot of people are are saying, oh, well, they
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: were trying to antagonize the bison. It certainly doesn't look
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: like that from the video.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 13: No.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 7: I mean maybe they were just walking by and you
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 7: know sometimes and I went to Yellowstone and we were
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 7: looking for black bears, which is arguably a little worse
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 7: than a bison. They could you know, attack you and
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 7: run at you the same way. And we saw one
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 7: and there was a bunch of people that get out
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 7: of their cars and actually stand around pretty far, but
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 7: you know, could be farther if you're safe from the
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 7: black bear. So it might have been this situation. I
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 7: don't know if they were antagonizing him though.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: It just seems to me that if you're in a
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: for example, if you're at Yellowstone, it's like you're in
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: the zoo without the cages.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, essentially you are.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: So you're at the mercy of the animal Kingdom.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 7: Yep. I mean it's a national park. They're not gonna
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 7: you know, they don't they don't want you to touch
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 7: those animals. Those are sacred animals there.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: His name is carl ism McDaniel and he's from Washington State,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: and I don't know too many men with a hyphenated
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: last name. But I'm not sure what to make of that.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: He suffered multiple broken bones, but he's going to be okay.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, the guy was in pretty good spirits and
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: that could that could have gone a very different way.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, he could have been killed. But anyway, the
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: bull was apparently roaming the campground and charging at other
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: groups of campers, and that's why you had a guy there.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: He's a professional photographer and he was the guy taking
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: the video. So there are a lot of tourists, are it.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, this could have gotten really bad. Apparently the
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: bison charged first in a small group of teenage boys
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: and they were able to run away. Oh here we go.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: You know what the problem is? They're saying the bison
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: was apparently experiencing a surge of testosterone, because this is
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: like the start of mating season. Oh man, So the
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: bull was wallowing in dirt next to a road. When
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: he got up, it was kicking like a road. It
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: was very agitated, and at that moment a pickup truck
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: drove by and then they then that's when the grandpa
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: and the grandson, So that was the grandson. Bison can
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: weigh up to two thousand pounds. I'm just thinking, oh
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: my god, this could be me at Shelby Farms because
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: we've got like a whole like mess of those bison
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: over there. I was thinking, lower whatever they call.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 7: It, what's a word for you, Todd, I'm not sure.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: I could run as fast as grandpa at that point.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: What do you do? What do you do if you've
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: got a two thousand pounds bison? Chase it after you?
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: All right? Gotta take a break here nine oh one
• 1:14:38

• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: this crazy situation in Maine right now where a giant
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: mob has stormed at the office of Senator Susan Collins.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: This is all because Ice agents took out a twenty
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: six year old man in Biddeford, Maine. The state police
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: are saying that the guy tried to use his vehicle
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: as a weapon and trying to run over Immigration and
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: Customs enforcement agents. The FBI is leading the investigation. The
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: police chief confirming all of this information. According to Senator
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: Angus King, Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen told him
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: the victim had been given an order to leave the country,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: weaponize the vehicle and was shot by an ICE agent.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: So that's all we know at this time. Protest are
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: underway near the scene and also at Susan Collins's office.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: My apologies that office in Biddeford, Maine. So we'll keep

• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: the information. We'll keep updating the info. Well. Our good
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: friend doctor Keith Ablo, new York Times bestselling author, has
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: a brand new book out called A Matter of Life
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: and Death, The Importance of Being Cain. I want to
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: go right away to our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line and
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: welcome doctor Ablow. Good to have you back with us, Doc.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 9: It is an absolute pleasure Todd, thanks for having.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: Me, and congratulations on the new book. And those of
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: you that are watching us, ladies and gentlemen on a
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: YouTube rumble and Facebook Live, you'll see a copy of
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: the book, a beautiful cover of the book and you
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: need to be getting yourself a copy of this, Doctor Ablow,
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: we were just talking about Maine, and your book happens
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: to be set in New England.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 9: It's set in New report Mass which is where I
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 9: am sitting right now. It's the birthplace by the Way
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 9: of the Coast Guard for those who need a reference
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 9: point beyond the fact that I'm sitting here, and it
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 9: is the place that Alex Kane comes, my main character
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 9: in a matter of life and death, for a kind
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 9: of radical reinvention. He wants to remake himself and Todd,
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 9: I know you believe as I do, that that's possible
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 9: no matter where you are in life, you can make
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 9: a comeback. And his method of doing so is very unusual.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 9: I won't give it away, but he endeavors to make
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 9: that happen here where the Coastguard was worn and where
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 9: there is, by the way, the oldest intech retail district
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 9: in America.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: Who knew this is? It's going to be a fun
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: book to read. It'll be out to what July thirtieth,
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: and you'll be able to get at print, Ebook, Amazon,
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: Barge and Noble wherever you get your books. You're gonna
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: be able to get a copy of a matter of
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: life and death. The importance of being kine you, I mean,
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: in addition to being an author, you're an executive coach,
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: You're a celebrity psychiatrist. I mean, you've you've really helped
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: a lot of people along your career path and your
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: career journey.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 9: It's a privilege, and you know you can't do that
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 9: without the immeasurables. So in terms of remaking people, which
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 9: I feel so privileged to have been involved in so
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 9: many people's lives and hopefully ben helpful, but you can't
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 9: do it without things like intuition and empathy and a
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 9: connection to a higher power than yourself. I like to
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 9: think I have pretty good listening skills. But when you
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 9: are able to heal someone by listening and speaking to
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 9: that person, that's that's something about things like God and
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 9: the universe and immeasurable variables. It's not just serotonin and europephrin.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 9: You won't find healing just on a cat scan ever.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: I I know, at least in this business, when you
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: know you're in your in the public arena. And I
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: remember when I left Fox News back in twenty nine,
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: eighteen it's like, all right, what is next? And I
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: would you know, I sort of carved a new path.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: But you know a lot of people just get caught
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: up in their job or whatever, and that becomes the
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: essence of who they are, and when that goes away,
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: everything else sort of unravels. Have you seen that before
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: in your career?
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 9: It's so true that when people lose that anchor, if
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 9: they've been invested in a position or a person, a relationship,
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 9: whatever it might be, you can feel very much untethered.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 9: You can feel as if your life is ending. It's
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 9: not it's interesting that we're tempted to walk out on
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 9: our own life stories. But if you're in a cinema,
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 9: for instance, and the main character is in trouble, have
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 9: you ever seen someone throw their popcorn away and say, hey,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 9: Tom Cruise is in a jam, let's get out of here. No,
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 9: everybody sits there and they say the same thing. I
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 9: wonder what's gonna happen? And it's not that easy, but
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 9: it's what is called for in our own lives. I
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 9: wonder what's going to happen?
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: And isn't that the whole essence also of being an
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: American is that you know, we love those comeback stories,
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: you know, as much as you know people sort of
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: get when we see one of our stars fall, you know,
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: there's all that attention. But at the same time, when
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: they make that comeback and they're able to step back
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 2: onto the stage, you know, people cheer. They love that
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff they do.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 9: And why do they love that. They love that because
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 9: people who are willing to look at the dark chapters
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 9: do a kind of self examination and depth, not turn
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 9: away and run away, but instead face anything and everything
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 9: they can reclaim the next and best chapters. It's a
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 9: question of saying, listen, maybe this was kind of meant
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 9: to happen in order to improve me, not to do
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 9: me in. And if you have that perspective, you're very
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 9: hard to defeat. And people aren't defeated long as they
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 9: are willing to sort of wait for the next chapter
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 9: and participate. Right, So, Noah built an arc. He didn't
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 9: just say, you know, hey, it's going to rain a lot.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 9: I believe it.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: He did the work, Doctor Ablow, I find it. I'm
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: not sure how we should read this into the book,
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: but this was said of the same towns as the
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: town where you treated Hunter Biden.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 9: And there are those who say, well, what was he
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 9: doing coming to a conservative for help? The answer is,
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 9: suffering is an equal opportunity kind of employer. It certainly
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 9: is the case. I don't care anybody's political beliefs when
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 9: I'm treating them for anything, including drug addiction. But yes,
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 9: so Biden Hunter, Biden came to New Report. By the way,
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 9: I'm not saying this because a psychiatrist wouldn't tell, but
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 9: his laptop said it, and he said it, and so
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 9: now it seems rather from you not to agree. Yeah, sure,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 9: he came to New Report. He was here for some
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 9: period of time healing, and New Report has that about it.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 9: It has a sense of rebirth about it and his
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 9: own journey. We could be cynical, but let's not for
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 9: a moment. I like to say, here's somebody who was
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 9: inhaling crack cocaine by his own admission, and then is
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 9: it an accident that he then exhales india ink onto
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 9: rice paper. You may like his art, you may hate it,
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 9: but is it an accident that he feels as though
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 9: he's creating beautiful things with the same breath with which
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 9: he inhaled crack cocaine. I guess I like that poetry,
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 9: even though I hate his politics.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: It is interesting, you know, and I've sort of observed
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: from a distance the transformation it's hunter Biden is. It's
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: like he's coming back into the public arena. And I'm wondering,
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: you know, if you're starting to notice that as well,
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: And why is it that people are willing to, you know,
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: to give this guy a second look.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 9: Man, I think it is exactly what you're talking about.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 9: It's this sense we love a comeback. Americans really don't
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 9: write people off. We believe that people can be redeemed.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 9: I wish he would stop saying that I was the
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 9: source of the laptop, which is craziness. He's just thrown
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 9: up a smoke screen, and you know, I might have
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 9: to give him another diagnosis or something if he keeps
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 9: up with that. But that's craziness. But nonetheless, I think
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 9: Americans want to believe the best of people. Sometimes it
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 9: goes awry. You know, there are those in this country,
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 9: call them progressives, who would give the whole country away
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 9: based on a desire to believe that one element of
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 9: the population. Are many elements who say they hate us
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 9: really don't and they can be remade. That's toxic, and
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 9: that's a road to nowhere. It's sort of the walking dead,
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 9: I like to I mean, I really believe that to
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 9: some extent, progressives are looking for the blood of others
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 9: because they feel anemic themselves. You can't reawaken a vampire.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: The name of the new book by our friend doctor
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: Keith Ablau, A Matter of Life and Death, The Importance
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: of Being Caine. That's Caine with a K and it's
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: available July thirtieth, but you can pre order now wherever
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: you get your books. You know, I'm just curious. You know,
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: you've you have helped a lot of people over the years,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: from regular Joe's I imagine to you know, cabinet members.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: When you when you're doing that, when you're working with
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: these folks, have you I mean, do you treat them
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: differently or do everybody pretty much have the same issues
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: whether you're you know, working a blue collar job or
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: you're you know, working in the in the government.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 9: You know, you should join my practice. You ask the
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 9: best questions. Man, I'm telling you people struggle with the
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 9: same things. When it comes right down to it, you
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 9: already identified one of them when your job changes, or
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 9: you feel like, man, I've been doing this a long
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 9: time and now I can't or won't be doing it.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 9: When you lose someone you love, when you lose a dog,
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 9: when you're trying to take account of your life and
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 9: you realize, man, they love me very well. As a kid,
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 9: I'm carrying the scars. You can be a cabinet member,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 9: you can be a candidate for United States senator, or
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 9: you can be a guy who renovates kitchens. It doesn't matter.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 9: That's the commonality of man and the reason why. The
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 9: things that really matter are like, do your kids feel
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 9: that you love them? And do you and are you
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 9: connected with God? And these are the immeasurables that define people.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 9: It isn't I've never had somebody in the years of
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 9: practicing psychiatry and coaching people, I've never had someone come
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 9: in and say, you know, I really have positive feelings
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 9: about my parent because he hit it out of the
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 9: park and he was a world beater who made so
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 9: much do No, everybody says the same thing. I really
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 9: think he loved me, He was there for me. That
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 9: is what binds us together. Those stories, those narratives which
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 9: are the same. No matter what your station in life.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: I keep going back to, you know, when you look
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: at somebody like a hunter Biden for example, for example.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: For it just as an example, but it's it's what
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: the New Testament says about about forgiveness, and you know
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: the seventy times seven, which is there's this infinite level
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 2: of forgiveness within you know, Christianity. But I do wonder
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: sometimes a lot of people just won't even stop to
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 2: forgive themselves. And I think at some point along the journey,
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're the expert of this, but you have
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: to forgive yourself.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 9: I think that's one of the biggest turtles, is forgiving yourself.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 9: Because again, we're creatures of narrative, and you know, we
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 9: tend to think, if only, if only I had made
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 9: a different decision, if only I could have escaped some
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 9: of that pain or caused less pain. But you know,
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 9: you don't get to rewrite the past. Jay Gatsby taught
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 9: us that as well as others. And the truth is,
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 9: while you're still on the planet, you have infinite potential.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 9: You can turn things around. And I believe that those
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 9: chapters or innings of your life that were not what
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 9: you hoped they would be can be the prelude to
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 9: the best chapters of your life story ever, partly because
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 9: you've learned what you did. And I also believe that
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 9: this was not random things like that that befall you,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 9: or that you bring upon yourself, whatever it might be,
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 9: it's not random. It's meant to make you stronger if
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 9: you'll listen to it and get better.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, we're gonna have to leave with there,
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: doctor Amblow, and uh, congratulations on the book A matter
• 1:29:07

• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: want to read this, doctor Ablow. It's been a long time.

• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: Keith Ablow. Everybody, and we appreciate his great work and
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: helping people. And uh, it's a terrific new book that
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: he's written, So you're gonna want to get a copy
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: of that. All right. We've got to take a quick
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: break here, folks. Nine oh one two six zero five,
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: nine two six is our telephone over, that's nine oh
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five. Nine two six. This is
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: the Todd Starns Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. This
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 2: is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. This situation at Maine
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: is getting crazy. They're literally rioting in Maine right now
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: over this guy that got shot, so a deranged leftist
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: trying to run over Ice agents with his car. And
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 2: are we surprised by this? I mean, Graham Platner when
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: he wrote his letter withdrawing from the race, he signed
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: it f f Ice. I'm just saying here, it's anyway,
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: just hundreds of people are out and you don't think
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 2: of Maine as being a state that actually riots, but
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 2: apparently most of them are all woke white chicks. And
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: there are a bunch of I would say hundreds of
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: them storming the office of Susan Collins. Are now inside
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: the office of Susan Collins there in in Maine. Here's
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: my take on it. And idle though it's how people
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: in Maine behave and act, but it just seems to
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 2: me that we ought to be tasing people and hosing
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: them down with bear spray, not necessarily in that order,
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: but if you're going to break into a senator's office,
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: and if you're going to cause mayhem. If I were
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: the Senator's office staff, I would be I would be
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: giving everybody a big old thing of mace, bear spray.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 2: I don't raid you know some of those people are.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: You know, the hygiene it's an issue. I mean, you
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 2: know what the concroach is, right, I mean nobody wants that,
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: so it's always good to have that. So anyway, there
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: you have it. It is getting ugly there in Biddeford, Maine,
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 2: just outside of it's about seventeen miles or so. It's
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: in the I guess you could call it a suburb
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: of Portland. We should call our good buddy Ray Richardson
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: a wlob the big Lobster. So anyway, I hope the
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: Senators okay, but no doubt about it. There's a lot
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: of violence right now in the state of Maine. We'll
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 2: keep you updated. No, look, here's the thing you cannot
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 2: You cannot attack ice agents. You can't do that, not
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: in America and go unpunished. Ladies and gentlemen. Todd Stearns

  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Anybody find it weird?
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: You know, today is the it's the one year anniversary
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 2: of the attack on President Trump, the assassination attempt. Here,
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 2: Senator Marsha Blackburn a cut number four.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 14: Please, we're recalling and remembering it was two years ago
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 14: that there was the assassination attempt own President Trump's life
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 14: at Butler, Pennsylvania, and we are ever so grateful that
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 14: he survived that attempt, and I recall my conversation with
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 14: him shortly after he knew God spared his life and
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 14: that there was a purpose for the work that he
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 14: is doing. And indeed, all Tennesseeans are grateful that he
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 14: has been able to serve as our forty seventh president
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 14: and delivering on the agenda that he promised he was
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 14: going to work on. Thank you, mister President.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: Well certainly did that, and we are glad that God
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: spared the life of President Trump. I mean, I you know,
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 2: if his head had not been turned, we would be
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: talking about a very, very, a very different story right now.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 2: So we're certainly, we're certainly fortunate that President Trump was saved,
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 2: God spared his life, and we are very grateful for that.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: our telephone number, that's nine oh one two six zero
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: five to nine two six. So I am curious though
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 2: about the well, just the lack of interest in what
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: happened on that day. And so my question to you
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 2: is do you think that we ought to know the
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 2: American people ought to know exactly what happened in Butler County, Pennsylvania.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, none of it has made any sense to
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: me at all. None of it has made sense to
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 2: me at all, And it really does make you wonder
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: what exactly is the government hiding here? What is it
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 2: that the government doesn't want us to know about what
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: happened on that day? I've I'm just I'm naturally curious.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 2: I know a lot of people give me a hard
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: time over that, but it's just I'm just genuinely curious.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 2: You know, I do want to know if was Lee
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: Harvey Oswald the guy I you know, I want to
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 2: know was was Donald Trump? Was he the victim of
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: an internal plot within the federal government to take him out?
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 2: I'm just curious. Nine oh one two six zero five
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 2: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. Well, a man says he was fired,
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: and Dylan, when we get this audio, be sure to listen.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 2: We may have a few words we have to bleep,
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 2: but we're gonna play some audio here in just a moment.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: But a man says he was fired from a Chili's
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 2: in Denham Springs, Louisiana. Denham Springs is a suburb of
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 2: Baton Rouge, and this guy says he was fired from
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 2: the chili's endnum springs because he called a female by
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 2: her actual name and did not use they them pronouns.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 2: So the guy's name is Wesley Kirkford Junior. He says,
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not participating in this anymore. You're not gonna shame
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: me or force me to participate in all of this.
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 2: It's a total violation of my First Amendment rights, my
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 2: religious freedom, and my free speech. I mean, you feel
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 2: bad for the guy. You wonder how many how many
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 2: of these how many waiters and staffers have lost their
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 2: jobs as a result of all of this as a
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: result of well not wanting to engage in the pronoun police.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 2: I say, good for mister kirk for standing up and
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 2: taking a stand. I hate that the guy lost his job.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 2: Our understanding is he's gotten lots of interview request in
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 2: the aftermath of all of this, So anyway, he's by
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 2: the way, Dylan, does he not look like somebody we know?
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 2: He just a spitting image. Anyway, The poor guy filmed
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: himself getting fired from Chili's for calling a trans employee
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: by her dead name, and the dead name is Madeline.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 2: He said he didn't realize that he was gonna catch
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 2: the manager. By the way, I guess the manager was
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 2: vaping in the chili's. Is that permitted? But yeah, so
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 2: the guy, the poor guy got fired. Unbelievable. So his
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: name is Wesley Kirkford Junior, and he said that he's
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 2: in need of a First Amendment civil rights attorney. He
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 2: says he'll post war on what happened because he's fired
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: up right now, I can't say I blame the poor guy.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: So there there you go. What a story. Nine oh
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six are telephone number.
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd startin show. This is a really
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 2: weird time.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 15: I did not wake up this morning, you know, expecting
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 15: to be a warrior in this culture war fight. But
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 15: you know, God puts us in positions that we don't
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 15: really understand at the time. But one thing I know
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 15: is that I'm not gonna I'm not gonna let this,
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 15: let this go. This is wrong, This is an injustice.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 15: This is flat out that anybody even has to put
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 15: up with this at work, much less get fired for
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 15: doing nothing other than calling their coworker by their government name.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 15: I have never been fired from a job ever in
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 15: my life before I have never been asked to quit resign.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 15: I have never been asked to resign. I've never been
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 15: fired period ever. I've never been written up at a job.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 15: I have never been reprimanded disciplined at any job. I
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 15: have no disciplinary record at any job. And I got
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 15: fired for the first time today from Chili's for doing
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 15: the high crime of calling my coworker whose name is Madeline,
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 15: by her name, which is Madeline, and not referring to
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 15: her as her chosen name.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 2: Which is Fish.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 15: Fi Sah, Fish, I'm too old. I'm just getting too
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 15: old to another point in my life where like I'm
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 15: not participating in that anymore.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 9: Like I don't care, I don't care.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 15: I'll put my foot down and I'm not I'm just
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 15: not participating in it. And nobody can make me. Nobody's
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 15: gonna shame me into participating in it. You're not gonna
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 15: force me by controlling my money. You're not Oh, you'll
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 15: never get another job. People are telling me. I'm never
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 15: gonna get another job.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 7: Because of it.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 15: You will never shame me or force me into changing
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 15: who the fuck I am, period. Not Chili's, not any job,
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 15: not Oxford House, not any job. And this ain't my
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 15: first time having to deal with this, but but I'm I'm,
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 15: I'm I stand up for myself. And and this was
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 15: teetotal and a total violation of my First Amendment rights,
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 15: my religious freedom, my free speed, my free expression, all
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 15: of it, all of it. This is a total violation
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 15: of it. And and yeah, and I've been very overwhelmed today.
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 15: I've been you know, got a lot going on. I've
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 15: been getting a lot of notifications on social media plus
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 15: everything else that I have going on in my brain
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 15: about just now being unemployed and what does this look
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 15: like and having to figure this out in a a
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 15: in a time where it is nearly impossible to find
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 15: a job anywhere. And so I'm in this situation, in
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 15: this predicament strictly because I called my coworker by her
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 15: government name. And it is what it is and what
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 15: I do it Again, absolutely, I wish I.
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 2: Would have done it sooner, to be honest. All Right,
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: that was the Dylan. That was the guy from Chili's
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 2: in Denhim Springs, Louisiana. Now I'm sorry, her name is fish.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 7: That is what she wanted to go by.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's kind of weird.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 7: Out of all the names, that's the that's the most
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 7: interesting one. I think that you could find.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: There are photographs of this individual. She actually has a
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: social media account. Fish is how she goes by. That's her.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 2: So her dead name is Madeline and now she looks
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like if you were to take I
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 2: don't know, Orca and give Orca bright orange hair and
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 2: then then actually paint half of the orange hair aqua,
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 2: that's what that's. That would be fish.
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 7: So she is like trying to be a fish. She
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 7: wants to be a fish.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think she's trying to no, I no, no,
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 2: I just think she is. I think I'm trying to
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 2: describe her.
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 7: You said Orca. Maybe it should have been Orca, not fish.
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 7: If it was if her name was Eric, I bet
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 7: you she would have gone by Orica.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 2: Orica, or Orca, Orca maybe blowfish maybe. I don't know.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 2: It's she's a big girl, a big girl. Not that
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 2: there's anything wrong with that, you know, But all I'm
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 2: telling you is that, yeah, she's got the I hate
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 2: the stereotype, but it's the look everything except for the
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 2: oh she's I think she may have the nose ring.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 2: So there you go. I feel bad for this guy. Uh,
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 2: but you know, I appreciate. I do think a lot
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 2: of people are just done right, They're just done.
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 7: If this city is too old to care about this
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 7: stuff anymore.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you get to a point where you
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 2: just don't care about the pronoun stuff. I reached that
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 2: point like forty years ago. Yeah. I think when I
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 2: was ten, I just didn't care anymore.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 7: I mean, someone has a name that they have, and
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 7: they've been given a name. Why would you all of
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 7: a sudden start calling them fish?
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 2: Oh by the way, I'm sorry, I'm going Can we
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 2: go back to another story real quick? So the radio guy,
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 2: you know, the radio industry, people who hate talk show
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 2: hosts that that take callers. They especially loathe it when
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 2: we talk to producers. Mmm, okay, So I guess he
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 2: would be triggered by the conversation you and I are.
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 7: It's the show, it's your show, Todd. I don't understand this.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 2: I just you know, this is the problem with the
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 2: radio industry. I mean, that is the problem. It's you know,
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 2: radio is the one form of communication where you are
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 2: allowed to have You're allowed to have that conversation. You
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 2: cannot do that in any other medium. And now you've
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 2: got these radio hosts out there that think they're all
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 2: that in a bag of chips.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 7: This is true. I like, I like taking calls. I
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 7: like when you take calls. Our listeners are really good
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 7: and all they oftentimes have something really important.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 2: We should probably pull our listeners, Yes, we should. Do
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 2: you like the calls or not?
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 7: I think they're a little biased if they get to
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 7: call in.
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do too. Well, look again, and we enjoy
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 2: those conversations. So I'm not quite sure why. You know,
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 2: look at Rush, so what what the what these what
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 2: these new fangled holsters saying is that Rush Limbaugh got
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 2: it wrong, that Sean Handity got it wrong. That's what
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 2: they're saying, that Lars Larson and Todd Stearns, that we
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 2: got it wrong. I have to tell you, I think
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 2: we've been very successful doing what we do, and we
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 2: don't bow down to any big corporation. You know, we
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 2: don't think. I mean, look, I believe what I believe.
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 2: You may disagree with that, you may agree with it,
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 2: but at least you're able to call in and you're
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 2: able to voice your opinion on this radio program. So look,
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 2: if that's what the other guys want to do, Okay, fine,
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 2: they can do that, but there's no need to go
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 2: around and castigate those of us who do, which, by
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 2: the way, are very few, very few, and it makes
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: you wonder why, you know. But anyway, nine oh one
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six is our telephone number.
• 1:47:10

  Speaker 2: incredibly important. So tonight six o'clock in Central time, six
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 2: o'clock Central time, the Big ninth Congressional District race in Tennessee,
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 2: broadcasting on k w AM. Right here in Memphis, Tennessee.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the phone lines here nine
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six Richard
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 2: and Murphysboro, Tennessee. All right, Richard, what do you think
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 2: here about the about these talk hosts that say absolutely
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 2: no calls?
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 12: I think they need to be fired in replaced with
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 12: new hosts that take calls.
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 2: You know, they say that callers lend nothing to the
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 2: program at all, that it's really a crutch that host use.
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 2: How do you respond to I mean, look, I grew
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 2: up listening to people calling in and talking on the radio.
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 2: I loved it.
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 12: I know I did too, And I don't care if
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 12: people have an opinion different from mine. Sometimes it's caused
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 12: me to change my opinion because when I examined the substance,
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 12: it turns out they're more right about it than I am.
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 12: So I think the talk radio provides one hell of
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 12: an educational service from the listening public. And you know,
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 12: if there are hosts out there who don't want to
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 12: have call, those expressive opinions, fire them, get somebody in
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 12: who does. I am just really happy that you all
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 12: are online and on air and doing what you do
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 12: and doing it as well as you do.
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 2: Richard. I appreciate you saying that, and you know, we
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 2: have a good time doing it, and I love people
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 2: always ask me all what are your favorite segments of
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 2: the show. It's when people call in. I mean, I
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 2: love doing the interviews with lawmakers and our celebrity guests,
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 2: and we're always going to do that. For me, the
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 2: most the most entertaining part of the show is when
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 2: people like yourself call in and we can have a conversation.
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 12: Yeah. I just want to tell you thanks for being
• 1:50:10

• 1:50:26
  Speaker 7: That's why we do it.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 2: It's beyond me. And again, I you know, if that's
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 2: how you want to do your show, do your show,
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 2: but don't turn around and criticize the rest of us
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 2: and say we're a bunch of schmucks for you know,
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 2: taking calls from listeners what's wrong with you people? Unbelievable.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 2: All right, don't forget ladies and gentlemen, Todd Stearns dot com.
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 2: This crazy story out of Maine where folks are rioting
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 2: in the streets. You gotta watch the videos. And we
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 2: also have video of the actual accident, the car crash
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 2: involving ice. Well, the ice agents were basically their lives
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 2: were on the line and some guy using his vehicle
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 2: as a to ram the agents. We've got all that
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 2: video and you'll be able to check it out and
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 2: you'll be able to understand what ice agents are doing.
