Transcript
- 0:10Speaker 1: Well, live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
- 0:13Speaker 1: It's America's favorite gun total bible clinging deplorable Americans.
- 0:22Speaker 2: This American.
- 0:25Speaker 3: Ud starts well, ye, all right, So the the Iran War,
- 0:31Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen is off again. Before it was on again,
- 0:38Speaker 3: then it was off again, then it was on again
- 0:41Speaker 3: and well, then off again and then on again and
- 0:43Speaker 3: off again, and on again and off again and off again,
- 0:46Speaker 3: on again, on again. How everybody, Welcome to the Times
- 0:50Speaker 3: Starns Radio Prayer. What a great way to start the week.
- 0:53Speaker 3: Incredibly confused about what our foreign policy is in the
- 0:57Speaker 3: Middle East, we have got a great show for you,
- 1:01Speaker 3: a jam packed show for you today. Just absolutely absurd
- 1:06Speaker 3: stuff coming out of the Trump administration and we're going
- 1:10Speaker 3: to get into all of it today now. Uh. The
- 1:14Speaker 3: President Trump had threatened to pretty much annihilate the Iranians,
- 1:21Speaker 3: and over the weekend the President announced that the Iranians
- 1:26Speaker 3: reached out Achmed or somebod I don't know who's running
- 1:29Speaker 3: the joint over there. So the Ayatola ocumed apparently called
- 1:33Speaker 3: up and said, uh, well please please please please do
- 1:38Speaker 3: not the bottom arcadeves please miss the president do not
- 1:41Speaker 3: the bomb camels and so uh. The President said, well, okay,
- 1:46Speaker 3: since should I asked nicely, We're going to hold off
- 1:48Speaker 3: on the bombs.
- 1:49Speaker 4: Uh.
- 1:49Speaker 3: The President said, this is going to be a pretty
- 1:51Speaker 3: darn big attack. Cut number one, please, all right, cut
- 1:56Speaker 3: number one. We don't have.
- 2:00Speaker 5: We had an attack that would be the biggest attack since.
- 2:03Speaker 6: World War Two, and it would have been disastrously to them,
- 2:09Speaker 6: and they didn't.
- 2:10Speaker 3: Want to sit all right, So, and it was all
- 2:12Speaker 3: hard to hear. He was on Air Force one. The
- 2:14Speaker 3: President said, we had an attack that would have been
- 2:16Speaker 3: the biggest attack since World War Two. It would have
- 2:19Speaker 3: been disastrous for them. And so here we are now
- 2:24Speaker 3: and the Iranians are saying that they in fact do
- 2:28Speaker 3: not have a deal and haven't been talking to the
- 2:30Speaker 3: Trump administration. So all right, here's here's where I think
- 2:38Speaker 3: we're going with all of this. I think we're going
- 2:40Speaker 3: to a very bad place. And I posted some things
- 2:45Speaker 3: on the weekend that went a little viral on the
- 2:48Speaker 3: socials talking about the Trump administration and the concerns I
- 2:54Speaker 3: have about the direction this administration is going. Right now.
- 2:58Speaker 3: There are some disturbing things happening, and it bothers me
- 3:02Speaker 3: because I don't think they're coming from the Oval Office.
- 3:05Speaker 3: I believe they're coming from within the administration and some
- 3:10Speaker 3: of the presidential appointees. And some of you may say, Okay, well,
- 3:14Speaker 3: that's that's on Trump. The buck stops with with Donald Trump,
- 3:18Speaker 3: and that's true. But again, the president of the United
- 3:21Speaker 3: States cannot be micromanaging every single department in the administration,
- 3:26Speaker 3: in the government. That's just not the role of the president.
- 3:31Speaker 3: So I'm willing to cut the president some slack here,
- 3:35Speaker 3: but I want to go through some of these things here, folks.
- 3:37Speaker 3: You know, when you're talking about Iran, it's not just Iran.
- 3:40Speaker 3: We're just everything is off the rails right now. And
- 3:44Speaker 3: I don't know what the administration understands that things are
- 3:48Speaker 3: not going well. For example, they told us that the
- 3:53Speaker 3: schools allowing boys to play girls sports would be defunded.
- 3:57Speaker 3: That has not happened, and now it's become a huge
- 3:59Speaker 3: national issue. You got the w n b A, and
- 4:01Speaker 3: we're going to get into all of that. Pardon me
- 4:04Speaker 3: of the w l b A, the World Lesbian Basketball Association,
- 4:08Speaker 3: they're up in there. They're in an uproar right now.
- 4:10Speaker 3: We're gonna get into all of that. But again, why
- 4:13Speaker 3: is that because the administration they said they were going
- 4:17Speaker 3: to defund schools that allowed boys to play girls sports
- 4:21Speaker 3: has not happened. They promised mass deportations of illegals and
- 4:26Speaker 3: ladies and jell them a little bit later on the program,
- 4:28Speaker 3: You're gonna hear me call for the resignation of Homeland
- 4:31Speaker 3: Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen. That guy's got to go,
- 4:34Speaker 3: and I'll explain why. But the mass deportations of illegals,
- 4:38Speaker 3: it just hasn't happened. They promised to lower gas prices
- 4:43Speaker 3: and grocery prices. That has not happened. They promised no
- 4:49Speaker 3: more forever wars. That has Yeah, I don't think that's
- 4:57Speaker 3: gonna I I think we're in We're gonna, we're gonna
- 5:01Speaker 3: We're in a mud pit right now. It's like quicksand
- 5:03Speaker 3: over there. I think this is going to end badly
- 5:06Speaker 3: for us. I hope it doesn't, but that's what it's
- 5:10Speaker 3: looking like. Again. Six weeks, Max, that's what they told us.
- 5:15Speaker 3: Six weeks we're in there, We're out of there. Gas
- 5:18Speaker 3: prices are going to drop like a rock, and we're
- 5:21Speaker 3: going to be living the good life. That hasn't happened.
- 5:24Speaker 3: It's been six months ago and counting, by the way,
- 5:28Speaker 3: and again the reason why is because the policy, it
- 5:31Speaker 3: seems to be the official policy of the administration, is
- 5:36Speaker 3: as follows. We bomb the holy you know what out
- 5:39Speaker 3: of the Iranians and then they say we're sorry. We say, oh, okay,
- 5:44Speaker 3: we forgive you, just don't do it again. So what happens, Well,
- 5:47Speaker 3: the next day they go on, they blow something up
- 5:50Speaker 3: and kill American soldiers. We launch another attack. They say, oh,
- 5:54Speaker 3: please stop. We don't want you to blow up our
- 5:56Speaker 3: camels or our tens. And we're like, well, okay, as
- 6:00Speaker 3: long as you said you're sorry, just don't do it again.
- 6:04Speaker 3: And they're like great. The next day the Iranians come
- 6:06Speaker 3: out and they blow something else up. Then we fire
- 6:09Speaker 3: back and they say, please don't hurt us again, Please
- 6:12Speaker 3: don't blow our burkas to smither rings. And we say, oh, well, okay,
- 6:17Speaker 3: just don't do it again. Are you catching on here?
- 6:20Speaker 3: There's a pattern developing, ladies and gentlemen, and it's not
- 6:24Speaker 3: a good pattern. So my recommendation to the White House
- 6:29Speaker 3: is very simple. Either fish or cut bait. You're either
- 6:32Speaker 3: going to blow them off the face of the earth
- 6:34Speaker 3: and be done with this, or declare whatever kind of
- 6:37Speaker 3: a victory you can declare from this, and get the
- 6:40Speaker 3: heck out of there so we can get back to
- 6:42Speaker 3: what we need to be focused on right here on
- 6:45Speaker 3: American soil. Otherwise we're going to be doing this. We're
- 6:50Speaker 3: going to be doing this, and hear me what's going
- 6:53Speaker 3: to happen. And you know this because we've seen it happen.
- 6:59Speaker 3: We have a read to these memorandums of understanding. The
- 7:03Speaker 3: Iranians violate the memorandums of understanding. And what do they do?
- 7:09Speaker 3: What do they do? They kill American soldiers, That's what
- 7:13Speaker 3: they do. We've got dead American service members as a
- 7:18Speaker 3: result of our foreign policy here. If we would have
- 7:22Speaker 3: gone in immediately, shock and awe and taken care of business,
- 7:27Speaker 3: then we would not be in the situation we're in
- 7:30Speaker 3: right now. And this is becoming a quagmire. Someone someone
- 7:36Speaker 3: just sent me a text. Six weeks is like two
- 7:39Speaker 3: weeks to slow the spread. Remember that we just got
- 7:43Speaker 3: to shut down the country for two weeks. Two weeks,
- 7:45Speaker 3: that's it, We'll be back to normal. And then two
- 7:47Speaker 3: weeks became four, and that's when I became alarmed. And
- 7:50Speaker 3: what in people. I like, this is like going down
- 7:53Speaker 3: the going down memory lane. Todd, You're just a worry
- 7:56Speaker 3: ward were reward. It's just four weeks, four weeks to
- 8:01Speaker 3: slow the curve. Four weeks. I'm like, I don't know
- 8:06Speaker 3: about that, guys, And what was it two years later? Yeah,
- 8:14Speaker 3: I'm just trying to make sure that our president doesn't
- 8:17Speaker 3: get impeached. That's all I'm trying. That's the only thing
- 8:20Speaker 3: I care about. I don't care about these Republicans. I
- 8:22Speaker 3: really don't. I really don't. They have they have. They
- 8:25Speaker 3: have screwed us every which way to Sunday. They have.
- 8:28Speaker 3: It's just it's their nature. It's it's what they do.
- 8:32Speaker 3: So anyway, this is where we're at, and I'm curious
- 8:37Speaker 3: to hear your thoughts on this. A lot of people
- 8:40Speaker 3: are really frustrated with the president right now, a lot
- 8:43Speaker 3: of people, And you say, Todd, what's your what's your
- 8:48Speaker 3: evidence of them? Well, I posted something on social and
- 8:54Speaker 3: both of on Facebook as well as Twitter, and before
- 8:57Speaker 3: I get into the nuance of this, we don't allow
- 9:00Speaker 3: anybody from foreign countries to follow our social media pages,
- 9:05Speaker 3: aside from English speaking countries like for example, Australia or
- 9:10Speaker 3: England or Israel for example. All right, so if you
- 9:15Speaker 3: live in like, so what as a result of that.
- 9:18Speaker 3: As a result of that, ninety eight percent of all
- 9:22Speaker 3: of our traffic is American traffic. You said, what's the
- 9:25Speaker 3: other two percent? I think it's Israel and maybe Canada.
- 9:28Speaker 3: Do we ban the Canadians? We may have banned the Canada.
- 9:30Speaker 3: I don't know. So the reason we did that was
- 9:34Speaker 3: very intentional. We didn't want our pages spammed by all
- 9:37Speaker 3: these bots, right, and also, our traffic and our engagement
- 9:41Speaker 3: and our followers are all real people. They're not bots,
- 9:45Speaker 3: they're not make believe. We haven't purchased a single subscriber list,
- 9:50Speaker 3: so everything is authentic. So we're nearly what a half
- 9:53Speaker 3: a million followers on Facebook and it is all organic,
- 9:57Speaker 3: all American traffic. So when I posted this story and
- 10:03Speaker 3: I did not offer any commentary, I said, here's what
- 10:07Speaker 3: the President said. Nearly one thousand of you left comments.
- 10:12Speaker 3: Nearly one thousand, ninety nine point nine percent of the comments.
- 10:19Speaker 3: People are upset with the White House. The President is
- 10:23Speaker 3: risking losing the base here, folks, that's where we're at.
- 10:27Speaker 3: And I know many of you from day one, were concerned,
- 10:31Speaker 3: and you turned out to be correct. You were right
- 10:34Speaker 3: to be concerned that this was going to happen. So
- 10:39Speaker 3: the question now is what do we do about it?
- 10:42Speaker 3: What do we do about it? Because I'm telling you,
- 10:46Speaker 3: if Iran blows something up in the next twenty four
- 10:48Speaker 3: to forty eight hours, I think we risk losing the midterms.
- 10:53Speaker 3: I think it's that series of an issue. And we
- 10:56Speaker 3: can't lose the midterms because we've got communists who are
- 11:00Speaker 3: running for office. I mean, that's how bad this is.
- 11:04Speaker 3: This is a it is a bad situation we're in.
- 11:10Speaker 3: So we're going to be taking your cause on this.
- 11:11Speaker 3: What do you think the president ought to do here?
- 11:14Speaker 3: Do you support this? Some of you may say, you
- 11:15Speaker 3: know what the president and I and I have gotten
- 11:18Speaker 3: some of these messages on X is that Todd, Shame
- 11:21Speaker 3: on you. The president has a plan? Well what exactly?
- 11:26Speaker 3: What exactly is the plan? I think we at this
- 11:29Speaker 3: point we need to know. And I say that because
- 11:31Speaker 3: there's a very concerning story on mediaite coming out of
- 11:36Speaker 3: the Pentagon and this is this is just insane. According
- 11:46Speaker 3: to this report, which by the way, the Pentagon did
- 11:49Speaker 3: not refute, troops are now being asked to pitch some
- 11:55Speaker 3: creative and unconventional ideas on how to punish Iran. US
- 12:01Speaker 3: Central Command put out an email and they're looking for
- 12:06Speaker 3: creative and unconventional ways to pressure and punish Iran. The
- 12:11Speaker 3: email making a really bizarre request. The Pentagon or the
- 12:16Speaker 3: Syncom was asked about this and they said, well, you know,
- 12:21Speaker 3: we have a long history. This is the direct statement
- 12:25Speaker 3: here from Colonel or Campton rather Timothy Hawkins, he is
- 12:28Speaker 3: the spokesman for Syentcom US Central Command. Quote. Central Command
- 12:33Speaker 3: has a long history of thinking and working in innovative ways.
- 12:37Speaker 3: Admiral Cooper in particular reaches out to members of our
- 12:40Speaker 3: great team, regardless of rank, to achieve the highest levels
- 12:44Speaker 3: of operational performance possible. So now the Pentagon is that
- 12:53Speaker 3: looks to me like we don't know how to fix this.
- 12:55Speaker 3: We don't know how to beat these guys. So I'm
- 12:58Speaker 3: just going to open up our phone line, ladies and gentlemen,
- 13:01Speaker 3: and I figure, if US Central Command can do it,
- 13:04Speaker 3: maybe some of you have a creative and unconventional way
- 13:08Speaker 3: to punish Iran. Now I have a couple of thoughts,
- 13:13Speaker 3: aside from bombing them back to the Stone Age, maybe
- 13:17Speaker 3: just maybe we do a you know, we send the
- 13:19Speaker 3: w NBA players over there and parachute them into the country.
- 13:26Speaker 3: I mean, why not, right, and they can do to
- 13:30Speaker 3: the the the Ayatola what they've been doing to poor
- 13:33Speaker 3: Sophie Cunningham and to Caitlin Kaitlyn Clark. Maybe maybe that's
- 13:38Speaker 3: the answer here, a brigade of angry lesbians. Maybe that's
- 13:44Speaker 3: the answer. So anyway, we're going to be taking your
- 13:46Speaker 3: calls on this, your reaction to the President and his
- 13:50Speaker 3: decision to I guess pull back again. It's really not
- 13:54Speaker 3: a cease fire. We're just we're holding our fire again.
- 13:57Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
- 13:59Speaker 3: are telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero
- 14:03Speaker 3: five nine two six. This is the Todd Stern Show.
- 14:07Speaker 7: Half a century later, Watergates still shapes how Americans view power,
- 14:13Speaker 7: scandal and trust. This weekend, the America two fifty film
- 14:18Speaker 7: series presents Watergates Secrets and Betrayals, revisit the investigation through
- 14:24Speaker 7: archival footage, interviews, and new arguments about what happened. Launch
- 14:29Speaker 7: Saturday and Sunday at seven pm Eastern on Salem News Channel.
- 14:47Speaker 3: All right, let's go right to the phone. Lines nine
- 14:50Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six. We
- 14:53Speaker 3: start today in Ocalla, Florida. Larry listening to us on WOCA.
- 14:58Speaker 3: All right, Larry, what's your take on what the president
- 15:02Speaker 3: did over the weekend?
- 15:05Speaker 5: Well, I tell you everything that he's talking about doing,
- 15:08Speaker 5: I guess and really has done up at this point.
- 15:11Speaker 5: My definition would be terrorism, wouldn't it. In other words,
- 15:14Speaker 5: you're trying to do an action to them of violence
- 15:17Speaker 5: to get a political response that you desire, which is
- 15:23Speaker 5: our definition of terrorism. It's the reason why we got
- 15:26Speaker 5: to show two forms of ID to get a bank account,
- 15:28Speaker 5: because they got at track the money. But if you
- 15:30Speaker 5: really stop and think about it, we gave Iran four
- 15:34Speaker 5: billion dollars, you know, midnight on a pile of cash,
- 15:37Speaker 5: we being Obama, and then now we've done how much
- 15:42Speaker 5: in spending and terrorism against Iran and others? Are we
- 15:47Speaker 5: not the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism?
- 15:50Speaker 3: Why would you say that? What's your evidence that we're
- 15:52Speaker 3: the largest state sponsor of terrorism?
- 15:55Speaker 8: Larry?
- 15:56Speaker 5: I kind of thought I just made a good case.
- 15:59Speaker 5: Now would you like to tell me where I was wrong?
- 16:01Speaker 3: I'm happy to do that, Larry. First of all, the
- 16:04Speaker 3: United States was attacked in nineteen seventy nine, our citizens
- 16:09Speaker 3: were taken hostage by the Iranians. Since then, the Iranians
- 16:13Speaker 3: and their proxies have been responsible for slaughtering tens of
- 16:17Speaker 3: thousands of American citizens over the years. Over the past
- 16:21Speaker 3: forty or so years. When you look at the American
- 16:26Speaker 3: military response, we are only responding to attacks on the
- 16:31Speaker 3: United States. That is not terrorism.
- 16:35Speaker 5: No. I think what you're missing. What I'm saying is
- 16:38Speaker 5: is if you want to go over and kill them, Honestly, brother,
- 16:41Speaker 5: I don't much care for them. I think they're I
- 16:44Speaker 5: don't like what they say it, I don't like what
- 16:45Speaker 5: they stand for. I don't like nothing much about them.
- 16:48Speaker 5: And if we want to go kill them, you know what,
- 16:50Speaker 5: let's do it. But that's not what we're doing. We're
- 16:52Speaker 5: causing suffering, shutting their power off, shutting their water off.
- 16:56Speaker 3: Yeah, that's called war.
- 16:58Speaker 5: No, that's called terrorists them by our definition.
- 17:01Speaker 3: No, it's called war.
- 17:03Speaker 5: The war. It's not war. They didn't attack us, brother,
- 17:06Speaker 5: We attacked the Larry.
- 17:07Speaker 3: Go back to nineteen seventy nine. Nineteen seventy nine, the
- 17:11Speaker 3: Iranians stormed our embassy. That is a declaration of war
- 17:15Speaker 3: on the United States. They're chanting, their leaders are chanting
- 17:19Speaker 3: death to America. We are responding to the Iranian attacks
- 17:24Speaker 3: on us. So, Larry, are you suggesting, sir? Are you
- 17:28Speaker 3: suggesting that Americans should never retaliate if our people are
- 17:33Speaker 3: kidnapped or killed or otherwise attacked? Is that what you're saying?
- 17:39Speaker 5: Absolutely not, brother. If I was calling these shots, you
- 17:42Speaker 5: wouldn't question whether I wanted to win or not. There
- 17:45Speaker 5: wouldn't be an Iran right now. But we're not doing
- 17:48Speaker 5: it that way.
- 17:48Speaker 3: Well, wouldn't that be terrorism? Wouldn't that make you a terrorist?
- 17:52Speaker 5: Absolutely not, because I'd be killing them versus taking out
- 17:56Speaker 5: their power plant and taking out their roads. I would
- 17:59Speaker 5: take them out.
- 18:00Speaker 3: What do you think we were doing in World War Two?
- 18:02Speaker 3: What do you think we were doing in World War two?
- 18:04Speaker 3: Did you have a problem with the way the war
- 18:06Speaker 3: was administered back in back in the nineteen forties.
- 18:11Speaker 5: I wasn't evenna live either.
- 18:13Speaker 3: It doesn't make Larry, you gotta It doesn't matter, Larry,
- 18:17Speaker 3: the point of.
- 18:18Speaker 5: This, you're changing the subject.
- 18:21Speaker 3: I'm not changing the subject you're saying. You're saying, in
- 18:24Speaker 3: a war, Larry, you can scream as much as you
- 18:26Speaker 3: want to but my microphone is a hell of a
- 18:28Speaker 3: lot bigger than yours, sir. So I'll give you a chance,
- 18:31Speaker 3: but you're gonna have to well not now, because you've
- 18:33Speaker 3: run out of time. Look here's the deal, Larry. You're
- 18:36Speaker 3: suggesting that that we're not allowed to target things like
- 18:40Speaker 3: roads and bridges. We've got to put You've got to
- 18:44Speaker 3: put the pain and the pressure on the Iranian people.
- 18:48Speaker 3: That's what that's what war is. It's an ugly business.
- 18:51Speaker 3: This is not checkers down at the local park. My goodness.
- 18:55Speaker 3: All right, nine oh one two six zero five, nine
- 18:58Speaker 3: twenty six, Larry says, I guess we're just a bunch
- 19:00Speaker 3: of terrorists. What say you, America? We'll be right back,
- 19:15Speaker 3: all right, Welcome back, everybody. This is the Han Stearns
- 19:18Speaker 3: Radio Show. So the question is what advice do you
- 19:23Speaker 3: give President Trump? Is it time just to pull the troops,
- 19:27Speaker 3: come back home and be done with whatever it is
- 19:29Speaker 3: that we did over there, or do we do we
- 19:32Speaker 3: stay and fight until the nuclear program has been completely destroyed?
- 19:38Speaker 3: What what guidance would you give the president? The president
- 19:43Speaker 3: whoever's he's getting a lot of conflicting advice from his
- 19:47Speaker 3: his team. I mean, that's that's what's going on here,
- 19:51Speaker 3: and the president is not being well served by his team. Now,
- 19:56Speaker 3: the Pentagon also asking members of the military for some
- 20:00Speaker 3: creative ways in which to find the Iranians. We thought
- 20:04Speaker 3: we would open that up to the taxpayers of America
- 20:08Speaker 3: and the listeners of the Todd Sterns radio show. So,
- 20:11Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen, if you have a clever idea, perhaps
- 20:15Speaker 3: it involves copious amounts of pork butt or perhaps singing
- 20:19Speaker 3: sending in a you know, a brigade of lesbians. I
- 20:23Speaker 3: you know, I'm just throwing stuff out there, and at
- 20:26Speaker 3: this point I think the Pentagon is just throwing stuff
- 20:29Speaker 3: up against the wall and seeing what sticks. Nine oh
- 20:32Speaker 3: one two six zero five nne two six our telephone number,
- 20:35Speaker 3: that's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 20:40Speaker 3: Let's go to Paul in Gainesville, Georgia. Wdun Hi, Paul,
- 20:45Speaker 3: what is on your mind today?
- 20:48Speaker 8: Tot hi good?
- 20:49Speaker 9: I think I think something may have been misconstrued. You
- 20:52Speaker 9: mentioned the w NBA lesbians, and that's a good idea,
- 20:57Speaker 9: but you also mentioned Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham in
- 21:01Speaker 9: the same sentence, and neither of them is a lesbian,
- 21:05Speaker 9: and I think people may have been misconstrued.
- 21:07Speaker 3: Well I don't think they were, But go ahead anyway, Paul.
- 21:11Speaker 9: But by the way, I kind of agree with you.
- 21:14Speaker 9: I think we ought to just airlift maybe five thousand
- 21:18Speaker 9: live hogs and drop them from the sky and let
- 21:22Speaker 9: them run all over Iran. And I think that would
- 21:25Speaker 9: solve a lot of the problems.
- 21:28Speaker 3: Oh well, you know, this is a great idea. So
- 21:31Speaker 3: instead of just air dropping you know, the the Hudred
- 21:35Speaker 3: and first Airborne, we could air drop pigs into the
- 21:38Speaker 3: country and they could they could cause k I chaos.
- 21:42Speaker 3: I love this idea, Paul.
- 21:45Speaker 9: Okay, great, I hope we do it.
- 21:47Speaker 3: All right, Paul, Thank you for that. Lesbians and pigs.
- 21:51Speaker 3: That may very well be the Thank you, Paul, That
- 21:54Speaker 3: may very well be the answer here. I'm this is insane.
- 22:00Speaker 3: It's almost you know, a lot of people are just
- 22:03Speaker 3: so frustrated right now with the lack of movement in Washington,
- 22:08Speaker 3: and a lot of it has to a lot of
- 22:09Speaker 3: it is coming from Congress. Actually most of it's coming
- 22:12Speaker 3: from Congress, and people are just frustrated. That is showing up.
- 22:18Speaker 3: By the way, in some of the primary states, there
- 22:23Speaker 3: is some new polling data we're going to get to
- 22:26Speaker 3: and it is very clear to me that in the
- 22:28Speaker 3: reddest of states, the reddest of red states, that would
- 22:32Speaker 3: be Tennessee Republican Republican voting is down and we're going
- 22:38Speaker 3: to get into that with Steve gil a little bit
- 22:40Speaker 3: later on. Let's go to Kenneth in c Brook, Texas
- 22:45Speaker 3: listening to us on Patriot TOC nine twenty. Kenneth, what's
- 22:48Speaker 3: on your mind?
- 22:49Speaker 10: I have a brain part of an idea in an
- 22:52Speaker 10: old Navy retired guy, we landed marines on the beach
- 22:56Speaker 10: different places it has landing craft LCMS. How about an
- 23:03Speaker 10: idea like blued thousands of pigs on the l SMS
- 23:06Speaker 10: and land them on the beach and Iran they might
- 23:08Speaker 10: be able to get them all, but not all of them. Well,
- 23:10Speaker 10: then take over the island like it did in the
- 23:12Speaker 10: United States.
- 23:14Speaker 3: I love that. I like this idea. I like this idea. Kenneth.
- 23:21Speaker 3: Are Kenneth let me ask you before are you bothered?
- 23:25Speaker 3: Are you bothered? Are you frustrated by the wishy washiness
- 23:29Speaker 3: of the administration on what to do with Iran?
- 23:32Speaker 10: Yes, just go in there and do it.
- 23:36Speaker 3: That's it. That's it. Yeah, and that's what we should
- 23:40Speaker 3: have done in the first place. Kenneth, thank you for
- 23:43Speaker 3: that call. Great idea. Nine oh one two six zero
- 23:46Speaker 3: five nine two six. By the way, I wanted to
- 23:50Speaker 3: clarify something Larry said that you've been blowing up power
- 23:54Speaker 3: plants and bridges is terrorism? No, it is not terrorism.
- 23:58Speaker 3: During a war, you are allowed to target bridges and
- 24:03Speaker 3: power plans. And you know what if it knocks the
- 24:06Speaker 3: power out, well, that is the price of war. That
- 24:09Speaker 3: is the price you pay. Nine oh one two six
- 24:12Speaker 3: zero five. Nine to six is our number. I want
- 24:16Speaker 3: to talk about something that happened over the weekend. You
- 24:20Speaker 3: had the new Homeland Security Secretary, Mark Wayne Mullen, and
- 24:24Speaker 3: he's out there boasting about how he's given out citizenship
- 24:29Speaker 3: to almost one million foreigners this year alone. Mullen is
- 24:35Speaker 3: also a strong proponent of amnesty, and a lot of
- 24:44Speaker 3: people are just very, very concerned about the direction things
- 24:48Speaker 3: are going right now in Homeland Security. Cut number four. Please.
- 24:53Speaker 11: We have naturalization ceremonies every single day in the United
- 24:59Speaker 11: States that we're in. That is, you know, federal garments open.
- 25:04Speaker 11: We have hundreds of thousands of people in fact, over
- 25:08Speaker 11: we're real close to nine hundred thousand individuals that have
- 25:10Speaker 11: been naturalized in the last twelve months. There's a legal
- 25:15Speaker 11: system to go through. But if you choose not to
- 25:18Speaker 11: even begin or not to change your status, and if
- 25:22Speaker 11: you've been here twenty five years, I can't help you
- 25:24Speaker 11: for that right if you have a status change and
- 25:27Speaker 11: you're working in your status change. So you you overstayed
- 25:31Speaker 11: your visa, but you're going through the system to change
- 25:34Speaker 11: your status because you got married. You've been married to Yes,
- 25:36Speaker 11: a citizen for four years. Then you're going through the
- 25:38Speaker 11: family visa system. You have no criminal history. You get
- 25:42Speaker 11: picked up and you're in the court system. You've been
- 25:44Speaker 11: showing up for your court dates. You're going to be released.
- 25:47Speaker 11: You may get picked up, maybe detained, may go through
- 25:49Speaker 11: that process, but you're going to get released because you've
- 25:52Speaker 11: been showing up, you've been going to your court system.
- 25:54Speaker 11: Your status is changing.
- 25:57Speaker 3: Yeah. So then a Mullen he's talking to the National
- 26:01Speaker 3: Governors Association doing a sit down with Oklahoma Governor Kevin
- 26:05Speaker 3: stipp By the way, what's up with you Republicans in Oklahom.
- 26:08Speaker 3: Why are you guys in Oklahoma electing rhinos to office?
- 26:13Speaker 3: Just throwing that out there. Mullen, by the way, the
- 26:15Speaker 3: former senator from Oklahoma. So then Mullin goes on about immigration.
- 26:20Speaker 3: He says, you cannot reform immigration. He also said that
- 26:24Speaker 3: all of you people coming over here and you got
- 26:27Speaker 3: protected temporary protected status. He says that he believes it's
- 26:32Speaker 3: okay to work on becoming a legal permanent resident while
- 26:36Speaker 3: you have temporary protected status. I would contend, no, you
- 26:39Speaker 3: have to go back to where you came from and
- 26:41Speaker 3: apply to come here the right and legal way. Unbelievable.
- 26:47Speaker 3: What's going on there with Mark Wayne Mullen. I am
- 26:50Speaker 3: telling you the administration is getting a little soft, a
- 26:53Speaker 3: little squishy on the issue of deportation, and maybe they
- 26:59Speaker 3: need to hear from American people. I mean, the all
- 27:01Speaker 3: the polling data out there says overwhelmingly, I think somewhat
- 27:05Speaker 3: over eighty percent of the American people want all of
- 27:08Speaker 3: the illegals deported. All meaning, well, all, let's go to
- 27:15Speaker 3: the phones. Linda in Needsville, Texas, Linda, did I get
- 27:20Speaker 3: the name of the town correct?
- 27:21Speaker 2: There?
- 27:22Speaker 12: It's Needville, Yes, needs Richly. It was going to be
- 27:26Speaker 12: need More, but the post office change.
- 27:30Speaker 13: I like that.
- 27:31Speaker 3: I like that. All right, Linda, what's on your mind today.
- 27:34Speaker 12: Well, I do feel that we should just go in
- 27:38Speaker 12: there and bomb the snot out of them, you know,
- 27:40Speaker 12: their bridges, roads, you know whatever. Although I part of
- 27:46Speaker 12: me feels a little bad about that because I have
- 27:49Speaker 12: a good friend it's from Iran and all her family
- 27:52Speaker 12: is there, and I know that it was just they
- 27:55Speaker 12: would suffer. But the other thing that I'm a little
- 27:58Speaker 12: concerned about is my husband and I follow the fact
- 28:01Speaker 12: that we're actually running low on some of our armaments
- 28:05Speaker 12: because we were giving it all the way to Ukraine,
- 28:08Speaker 12: which is just crazy, you know. And if they're not
- 28:12Speaker 12: willing to go in there and bomb the live in
- 28:14Speaker 12: daylight statom, just get the heck out because we need
- 28:17Speaker 12: to be winning in November.
- 28:21Speaker 3: Yeah, Linda, you're those reports are in fact accurate that
- 28:25Speaker 3: the United States is low on munitions right now, and
- 28:30Speaker 3: that's a that's a big problem, which again could be
- 28:33Speaker 3: and you just you can't really, you don't want to
- 28:36Speaker 3: speculate too much. You don't want to go down that
- 28:38Speaker 3: road too much. But you wonder if if those those
- 28:42Speaker 3: stockpiles and the depleted stockpiles are really forming the way
- 28:46Speaker 3: we are answering and handling the war in Iran right now.
- 28:51Speaker 5: I agree with you.
- 28:53Speaker 12: It's a real concern, and it takes sometimes like a
- 28:56Speaker 12: year to make like one of these bigger bombs.
- 29:01Speaker 3: Linda. The bigger concern now is what happens if we
- 29:04Speaker 3: get attacked by somebody else. Are we going to have
- 29:06Speaker 3: the resources necessary? And this is nothing about our troops.
- 29:09Speaker 3: This is not about manpower. This is about having the bombs,
- 29:12Speaker 3: having the AMMO, having the munitions. Will we have what
- 29:16Speaker 3: we need to be able to defend ourselves if we
- 29:19Speaker 3: get attacked by another country.
- 29:22Speaker 14: I agree with you one hundred percent.
- 29:23Speaker 3: It scares me, frankly, Yeah, it's it's uh, it is
- 29:29Speaker 3: a troubling thing, Linda. And again it's taking nothing away
- 29:33Speaker 3: from the military, the Biden administration and really going all
- 29:36Speaker 3: the way back to Obama. Obama pretty much gutted the Pentagon.
- 29:40Speaker 3: Trump came into the first term and really started making
- 29:42Speaker 3: some headway. Then Biden comes in and we're taking giant
- 29:46Speaker 3: leaps backwards. So you know, hopefully that will get to
- 29:51Speaker 3: you know, we'll be able to replenish what we need.
- 29:53Speaker 3: But to your point, it's not something that can just
- 29:56Speaker 3: happen overnight, No, not at all.
- 29:59Speaker 12: It's going to take your literally to rearm.
- 30:04Speaker 3: Yeah it is Linda. Thank you for calling in and
- 30:07Speaker 3: thank you for listening to the show today. Yes, thank you,
- 30:11Speaker 3: all right Linda from Needsville, Texas. There you go. Let's
- 30:15Speaker 3: go to Greensboro, North Carolina the Great w s JS. John.
- 30:21Speaker 3: What's on your mind?
- 30:23Speaker 8: II?
- 30:23Speaker 5: Thodd?
- 30:24Speaker 14: Well, to me, it's getting frustrating the way Trump is
- 30:29Speaker 14: going back and forth with the iatoes, and it reminds
- 30:33Speaker 14: me of Charlie Brown trying to kick the football that
- 30:36Speaker 14: Lucy's holding.
- 30:38Speaker 3: Yes, you know somebody I had heard that. That illustration
- 30:42Speaker 3: is a perfect example John, of what's going on out
- 30:46Speaker 3: there right now.
- 30:48Speaker 14: Yeah, you could do a cartoon and put Trump's face
- 30:51Speaker 14: on Charlie Brown's head as he's flying through the air,
- 30:54Speaker 14: and Lucy would have an Iyahtola face.
- 30:57Speaker 3: Oh boy, jesu loo. Yeah it's John. I'm just curious,
- 31:01Speaker 3: what are folks in your you know, around your circle?
- 31:03Speaker 3: What do you are? Where do where do you guys
- 31:05Speaker 3: stand on Iran? Is that impacting your vote at all?
- 31:09Speaker 3: This this fall.
- 31:11Speaker 14: Absolutely not impacting my vote, because even if the Republicans
- 31:16Speaker 14: are the lesser of two evils, the Democrat evil is
- 31:19Speaker 14: positively satanic.
- 31:22Speaker 3: Yeah, well it is and and John, that's for me.
- 31:25Speaker 3: I just and again this with this war, it's you know,
- 31:29Speaker 3: it's becoming problematic. We've got a lot of other issues
- 31:32Speaker 3: that need to be addressed, but it doesn't matter none
- 31:36Speaker 3: of the sadly, and I think the industry, and I
- 31:38Speaker 3: think the administration, and I think the Republican Party know
- 31:42Speaker 3: that because there are too many of us that love
- 31:44Speaker 3: our president. We don't want him to be in peach John,
- 31:47Speaker 3: I don't know about you. I don't want my president impeached.
- 31:49Speaker 3: I don't want him to have to go through that.
- 31:50Speaker 3: I don't want his family to have to go through that.
- 31:52Speaker 3: And you know that's what's going to happen if the Democrats,
- 31:54Speaker 3: you know, win the majority.
- 31:56Speaker 14: Yep, we'll both tie it up as much as possible
- 32:00Speaker 14: for irass R side as.
- 32:01Speaker 3: Much as they can, no doubt about it. And let
- 32:03Speaker 3: me just say this, even if the Republicans do win,
- 32:07Speaker 3: it's over for the agenda. I mean, that's it. Trump
- 32:09Speaker 3: will be immediately become a lame duck president. And I'll
- 32:13Speaker 3: explain more of that a little bit later on the program.
- 32:16Speaker 3: But the reality is these Republicans are just biding their time.
- 32:19Speaker 3: John Thune all of these guys are just biding their
- 32:22Speaker 3: time because they know that there's going to come a
- 32:26Speaker 3: time when Trump will not be in office anymore. At
- 32:28Speaker 3: that time is quickly arriving, and they're going to hold
- 32:32Speaker 3: out and drag things out as long as they possibly can,
- 32:35Speaker 3: which is why that Save America Act is not going anywhere.
- 32:38Speaker 3: All right, John, thank you for that call. Nine oh
- 32:41Speaker 3: one two six zero five nine two six are a
- 32:43Speaker 3: telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero five,
- 32:46Speaker 3: nine two six. Any if you go to see Spider
- 32:50Speaker 3: Man the Big Movie. I mean, that was like the
- 32:53Speaker 3: big thing this week. Ian did well? All right, get
- 32:57Speaker 3: Ian in here. Ian, I'm gonna you know what we're gonna.
- 33:00Speaker 3: We'll get in and after the break I have questions.
- 33:03Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 33:06Speaker 3: This is the Tod Starns shown all right, welcome back everybody.
- 33:23Speaker 3: So spider Man the music, spider Man the Musical, The
- 33:27Speaker 3: Spider Man the movie is uh man, it is huge numbers.
- 33:32Speaker 3: Everybody's running around in their Spidery suits going to see
- 33:36Speaker 3: the movie. Brand new day spider Man, Brand new day.
- 33:39Speaker 8: Ian.
- 33:39Speaker 3: This is true. You went to go see the movie
- 33:41Speaker 3: over the week. I did.
- 33:42Speaker 13: I wanted to go. The first day was out, but
- 33:44Speaker 13: we just got tickets for Friday, so we missed it
- 33:48Speaker 13: because it was all sold out everywhere.
- 33:50Speaker 3: Wow, So did you are you one of these guys
- 33:52Speaker 3: that dresses up in the suit the whole nine yards?
- 33:55Speaker 13: No, I wish I was. I would totally do that,
- 33:57Speaker 13: but I just don't want to put in that much
- 33:58Speaker 13: effort to remember Avery.
- 34:01Speaker 3: You know our former guy Avery who's now at w
- 34:03Speaker 3: D un Has. I mean, when he was at Liberty University,
- 34:06Speaker 3: he was like the campus spider Man.
- 34:08Speaker 15: Wow.
- 34:08Speaker 3: Oh he was. Yeah, he was hardcore. So now he's
- 34:11Speaker 3: doing like stunt work. I mean, that's pretty fired up.
- 34:14Speaker 3: So I guess it worked out for him. I guess so.
- 34:16Speaker 3: So I don't want you to give away any of
- 34:18Speaker 3: the the you know, any of the plot already spoil
- 34:21Speaker 3: How did it? How did it go good?
- 34:23Speaker 13: I think it was very good?
- 34:25Speaker 16: Right.
- 34:25Speaker 13: He followed the story nicely. They didn't have any inconsistency
- 34:29Speaker 13: or break any of their own rules that they set up,
- 34:32Speaker 13: because sometimes movies do that and it ruins the whole thing.
- 34:35Speaker 13: But this focus is felt a lot more like the
- 34:38Speaker 13: other two Spider Man series than in Tom Holland won
- 34:40Speaker 13: it was a lot more like personal struggle. But I
- 34:43Speaker 13: really enjoyed it, so it.
- 34:44Speaker 3: Wasn't like woke. You know, they're trying to shove an
- 34:46Speaker 3: agenda down your throat, like what the super Girl movie
- 34:49Speaker 3: or all the sudden.
- 34:50Speaker 13: Oh, it wasn't. And the reason why is Marvel's had
- 34:53Speaker 13: about ten movies that they pushed that in which all
- 34:56Speaker 13: lost money.
- 34:56Speaker 8: Interesting.
- 34:57Speaker 3: Interesting. This story comes to us from the New York
- 35:00Speaker 3: Post involving Spider Man, and I'm curious to hear your
- 35:05Speaker 3: thoughts on this, as well as Dylan, who's just coming
- 35:08Speaker 3: into the studio. It turns out that a Spider Man
- 35:11Speaker 3: screening in Columbia, which is south of the border, was
- 35:16Speaker 3: evacuated after one of the audience members suffered from an
- 35:20Speaker 3: extreme fart attack. The gas leak occurred on August second,
- 35:27Speaker 3: during Spider Man Brand New Day. This is making big headlines.
- 35:32Speaker 3: Everything was going well until halfway through the film one
- 35:36Speaker 3: of the moviegoers just let her rip this. Apparently it
- 35:42Speaker 3: was so bad. The odor was so terrible, audience members
- 35:47Speaker 3: fled their seats in disgust. That's terrible.
- 35:50Speaker 13: They must have got like the poison taco bell whereever's
- 35:52Speaker 13: going around.
- 35:53Speaker 17: Now, Wait, hold on, maybe it was a four D movie,
- 35:57Speaker 17: you know, they experienced malevision in real time. Oh maybe
- 36:01Speaker 17: it was like the Green Goblin came out and I
- 36:03Speaker 17: don't know if he's in this movie, but maybe it
- 36:05Speaker 17: was him just throwing his little gas chambers out there.
- 36:07Speaker 3: Interesting, Well, at good point, it's a theory. It could have. Yes,
- 36:12Speaker 3: they're saying that they don't know if this was if
- 36:16Speaker 3: this was intentional, if it was a stink bomb, or
- 36:19Speaker 3: in fact somebody literally was you know, went to Taco
- 36:22Speaker 3: Bell before they went to the movie.
- 36:23Speaker 17: We go ahead.
- 36:25Speaker 13: Sorry, Well, you got to remember this is like one
- 36:27Speaker 13: hundred and fifty seats. This is an insanely massive room.
- 36:31Speaker 13: So how could it possibly be that bad?
- 36:34Speaker 17: I mean, if you're saving it up like that's a talent,
- 36:37Speaker 17: you're holding it in for that long, just for the
- 36:39Speaker 17: movie applause.
- 36:41Speaker 3: You know that's gonna leave a mark on the sea. Absolutely,
- 36:44Speaker 3: you know that's not just the pants odor will Linger.
- 36:47Speaker 17: Yeah, I don't think they have that cleaning that cleaning
- 36:49Speaker 17: stuff in the theaters.
- 36:51Speaker 3: To clear it up. Bring some fabrize with the like chlorine.
- 36:54Speaker 13: To get that out.
- 36:55Speaker 17: Yeah, a new seat probably just burn it, just the
- 37:00Speaker 17: whole theater let's get out the entire theater.
- 37:02Speaker 3: Let's just get rid of it, all right. Well, clearly
- 37:05Speaker 3: a lot of people their Spidey since was tingling after
- 37:07Speaker 3: all that. So there you go, all right, gentlemen, Well
- 37:11Speaker 3: thank you so Ian. It's worth it's worth the worth
- 37:14Speaker 3: the trip to the movie.
- 37:15Speaker 13: I would say it's definitely worth it.
- 37:17Speaker 3: All right, there you go, ladies and gentlemen. We've got
- 37:19Speaker 3: to take a quick break. Our two coming up. Congress
- 37:23Speaker 3: Woman Diana harsh Burger is going to be joining us,
- 37:26Speaker 3: Windy Patrick is on the way, and we're just getting
- 37:29Speaker 3: started here. Nine oh one two six zero five nine

- 38:38Speaker 3: is a lot of frustration over the Secretary of Homeland
- 38:43Speaker 3: Security coming out over the weekend and delivering remarks at
- 38:48Speaker 3: the National Governors Association meeting, and many of those, many
- 38:52Speaker 3: of many of the conservatives and many America First Conservatives
- 38:56Speaker 3: are really really upset over the last lack of urgency
- 39:01Speaker 3: when it comes to mass deportations. Well, I want to
- 39:04Speaker 3: go right now to our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line and
- 39:06Speaker 3: say hello to our good friend, congress Woman Diana Harschberger
- 39:11Speaker 3: from East Tennessee. Congress Woman has been a while. Hope
- 39:14Speaker 3: you're doing well.
- 39:16Speaker 18: Oh yes, sir, I am todd good to speak to
- 39:19Speaker 18: you today.
- 39:20Speaker 3: Well, likewise, I'm curious to hear your thoughts about what
- 39:25Speaker 3: happened over the weekend where you had a Secretary Mullen
- 39:29Speaker 3: making some controversial statements suggesting that maybe mass deportations were
- 39:35Speaker 3: not the answer. There is a report now from Politico
- 39:40Speaker 3: an unnamed senior Administration officile telling Politico Bullen deserves credit
- 39:46Speaker 3: where credit is due. Everyone agrees he quote sucks donkey,
- 39:50Speaker 3: But I can't say I've heard that phrase on Capitol
- 39:53Speaker 3: Hill before a congress woman.
- 39:57Speaker 18: Well, dang up, I probably heard worse than that, Todd,
- 40:00Speaker 18: but I don't repeat it, especially to the media. But look,
- 40:05Speaker 18: what's wrong with mass deportations. I mean, they come over
- 40:09Speaker 18: in masses. Why don't you just take them back in masses?
- 40:11Speaker 18: I'm like, good gosh, I don't know why Mark Wayne
- 40:15Speaker 18: Bullen would have said.
- 40:15Speaker 2: That, But no, I don't agree with that. What's so
- 40:20Speaker 2: bad about it?
- 40:20Speaker 18: What are we gonna do with these twenty extra million
- 40:23Speaker 18: people that we've gotten our country right now?
- 40:25Speaker 2: I mean, we're gonna feed.
- 40:26Speaker 18: Them, close them out them, give them medical care. It's
- 40:29Speaker 18: the expensive of people who are American citizens. Know, No,
- 40:33Speaker 18: I don't know what possessed him to say that, do you.
- 40:39Speaker 3: Well, it's it's unclear, and it just seems as though
- 40:42Speaker 3: there's been an effort to soften the response, you know,
- 40:47Speaker 3: after the you know, these car attacks on ICE agents
- 40:51Speaker 3: that led to people losing their lives.
- 40:53Speaker 16: You know.
- 40:53Speaker 3: My thought on that is, if you don't want to
- 40:55Speaker 3: get shot or killed by ICE agents, don't try to
- 40:57Speaker 3: run them over with your vehicle. They have a job
- 41:00Speaker 3: to do. And it's just really it's really puzzling to
- 41:04Speaker 3: me why the administration or at least, Homeland Security is
- 41:08Speaker 3: wanting to maybe tap on the brakes a little bit
- 41:11Speaker 3: when it comes to the deportations, especially since the numbers
- 41:14Speaker 3: have not been as high as we had thought they
- 41:17Speaker 3: were going to be.
- 41:19Speaker 18: Yeah, the only thing I can think, you know, this
- 41:22Speaker 18: is the mid term election year, and of course all
- 41:26Speaker 18: the ground that they gained with the Hispanic population they
- 41:30Speaker 18: have lost evidently, and I'm talking to Hispanics, and that's
- 41:34Speaker 18: not a good trend for the Republican side. And so,
- 41:38Speaker 18: you know, I don't know if they're going to turn
- 41:39Speaker 18: out for the Democrats or are they going to remain
- 41:42Speaker 18: with the Republicans.
- 41:43Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe that's why they're softening their message.
- 41:47Speaker 18: Look, the people in this district, they love tough language,
- 41:51Speaker 18: and it's not like I mean they pick them up,
- 41:54Speaker 18: put them in their pick up and take them back
- 41:55Speaker 18: over the border theirself. So and that's the sentiment of
- 41:58Speaker 18: a lot of Americans, you know, So they shouldn't have
- 42:00Speaker 18: been allowed here. I just look at the definition of illegal.
- 42:05Speaker 18: If they came over illegally, then they broke the law.
- 42:09Speaker 18: You know, the law is the law, and if you
- 42:12Speaker 18: condone it, or you act like you condone it, then
- 42:15Speaker 18: that's not the right message. And I've said this for years.
- 42:19Speaker 18: I said, we Republicans can't carry a message in a bucket.
- 42:22Speaker 18: Just do what you tell people you're going to do,
- 42:26Speaker 18: and do it in the right way, in the humane way.
- 42:29Speaker 18: But for goodness sakes, I think they're softening it because
- 42:33Speaker 18: they have lost a lot of the Hispanic population that
- 42:36Speaker 18: voted for him last time.
- 42:37Speaker 3: You know, that'd be my thought. And speaking of that congresswoman,
- 42:41Speaker 3: and again it ties into to what happened in Spain
- 42:45Speaker 3: last week, where their nation was literally invaded. That's what
- 42:50Speaker 3: was happening. I know a lot of people were shocked
- 42:52Speaker 3: and horrified to see that, but I'm sitting here going
- 42:55Speaker 3: are you kidding me? That was every day during the
- 42:57Speaker 3: Biden administration on our southern border.
- 43:01Speaker 2: Absolutely every day.
- 43:03Speaker 18: The trains, the planes, the automobiles, everything you can get
- 43:07Speaker 18: them over here with they were coming, and they inundated
- 43:10Speaker 18: our CBP officers. And I was at the border more
- 43:14Speaker 18: times than Biden probably uttered the word border, So you know,
- 43:17Speaker 18: you see it in real time.
- 43:18Speaker 2: It's bad.
- 43:19Speaker 18: And what happened in Spain, You've got fifty zerousand people
- 43:23Speaker 18: coming across the border yelling all akbar and then creating
- 43:28Speaker 18: havoc in businesses and shops and with the women in
- 43:32Speaker 18: that city. That's horrendous. And that's here's your sign in America.
- 43:37Speaker 18: You want the same thing to happen all over again,
- 43:39Speaker 18: go ahead and put a Democrat into twenty twenty eight.
- 43:42Speaker 18: And that's just the way I feel. That's what you're
- 43:44Speaker 18: going to get. And it's a sign fore told of
- 43:46Speaker 18: times to come if you do that. Because open border Spain,
- 43:50Speaker 18: let everybody come in. We're in a good nation. We
- 43:52Speaker 18: want to take care of you until they kill your population.
- 43:55Speaker 18: That's pretty bad. And if you look at radical islammis
- 43:59Speaker 18: and and you look at communism, put them together, and
- 44:03Speaker 18: you've got AMANDAMI in New York and it's happening all
- 44:06Speaker 18: over the country. And we are going to be fighting
- 44:09Speaker 18: modern day communism right in the House of Representatives next year.
- 44:13Speaker 18: And if you didn't think it could happen, it is.
- 44:15Speaker 2: Going to happen.
- 44:16Speaker 3: Congresswoman Diana Herschberg are joining us on the Patriot Mobile
- 44:19Speaker 3: newsmaker line today. When you look at what happened in Spain,
- 44:24Speaker 3: what is happening in Spain? What is the lesson for
- 44:27Speaker 3: America to learn? Because and it's really not just Spain.
- 44:31Speaker 3: We're looking at this already happening in places like Belgium
- 44:34Speaker 3: and Germany and France and the UK.
- 44:38Speaker 18: Well, you have a socialist government, Your Prime minister is
- 44:42Speaker 18: far left leaning. He's a socialist, and there lies the problem.
- 44:47Speaker 18: It's who you put in charge. It matters who governs.
- 44:50Speaker 18: And this is the site you're going to see again
- 44:52Speaker 18: in America, just like in the Biden administration. And you know, Todd,
- 44:56Speaker 18: somebody asked me the other day, what's the most distressing
- 44:59Speaker 18: thing when you we're in office, and the Biden administration
- 45:02Speaker 18: was in uh charge, I said, it's every day when
- 45:05Speaker 18: I was on Home Land Security watching the numbers go
- 45:08Speaker 18: up and up and up of the illegals coming across
- 45:10Speaker 18: the border, and I kept thinking, how are we going
- 45:12Speaker 18: to find them?
- 45:13Speaker 2: How are you going to deport them? What are we
- 45:15Speaker 2: going to do? I felt, Look, it's a hopeless feeling.
- 45:19Speaker 18: And to know now that we're trying to do it,
- 45:21Speaker 18: don't go back, do not go back on your word.
- 45:24Speaker 18: People are watching, and I'll do it. We absolutely in
- 45:28Speaker 18: the reconciliation. Two points here were we funded CBP and
- 45:32Speaker 18: ICE until the end of term of President Trump's term,
- 45:36Speaker 18: So there is no excuse not to do. The money's there.
- 45:39Speaker 18: So I tell you, just like I would tell anybody
- 45:42Speaker 18: work for me. I said, get her done. You told
- 45:44Speaker 18: me you were going to do it. That's why I
- 45:45Speaker 18: hired you, So get her done.
- 45:47Speaker 3: Congress Woman, I want to ask you about elections, because
- 45:50Speaker 3: you guys have one in Tennessee coming up on a Thursday,
- 45:53Speaker 3: big election for governor. Uh there is the all the
- 45:57Speaker 3: new redistricting that took place, the new ninth Congressional district,
- 46:02Speaker 3: the National Republican Congressional Committee making that one of their
- 46:06Speaker 3: top national races. Wondering if you've got a if you
- 46:10Speaker 3: have a dog in the hunt and any of these races,
- 46:13Speaker 3: and what are your observations the big issues facing voters
- 46:17Speaker 3: in Tennessee.
- 46:19Speaker 18: Well, you know, I was reading what some of the
- 46:22Speaker 18: government goubinatorial candidates did. You know what they wrote was
- 46:26Speaker 18: top of their list, and I think it was John
- 46:29Speaker 18: Rose that said, it's affordability. You know, house prices have spiked.
- 46:34Speaker 18: You know, we got a lot of people moving into
- 46:36Speaker 18: Tennessee and we'll love you and we'll take care of you,
- 46:38Speaker 18: we'll put our arm around you. But don't you California
- 46:41Speaker 18: us because that's not what this state is for. We
- 46:44Speaker 18: are a well run state as the Land of the Free.
- 46:49Speaker 18: And affordability is a huge problem for Tennessee. And and
- 46:52Speaker 18: gas prices, food process those type things, and now even
- 46:56Speaker 18: the Medicare supplements process are going up. You know, people,
- 47:00Speaker 18: if you're on a fixed income, it's going to be
- 47:02Speaker 18: hard to manage. And you know, we're doing what we
- 47:06Speaker 18: can in the House to fight that. We just got
- 47:09Speaker 18: to get to send it to do their job, so
- 47:11Speaker 18: people have choices.
- 47:12Speaker 2: You've got two.
- 47:13Speaker 18: Good candidate's, three good candidates, really, and you just got
- 47:17Speaker 18: to get the word out.
- 47:17Speaker 2: I wish they had a debated, but it didn't happen.
- 47:20Speaker 18: So people just going to have to read up and
- 47:23Speaker 18: meet the candidates in order to make a deal. And
- 47:25Speaker 18: I supported Brent Taylor for District nine as a matter
- 47:29Speaker 18: of fact.
- 47:30Speaker 2: I think he's a good guy.
- 47:31Speaker 18: And I endorsed him, and I don't really endorse people,
- 47:34Speaker 18: but I endorse Brent.
- 47:36Speaker 3: Well. He's and he's going to be on the program
- 47:38Speaker 3: in just a little while, so we look forward to
- 47:40Speaker 3: talking to him. And I am curious so about the
- 47:42Speaker 3: governor do you want to are you throwing in with
- 47:45Speaker 3: John Rose? You mentioned his name.
- 47:48Speaker 2: Well, no, you know what.
- 47:49Speaker 18: I called the president probably a year and a half
- 47:51Speaker 18: ago and confidentially talked to him. I said, sir, I
- 47:54Speaker 18: don't want to get ahead of you, but I really
- 47:57Speaker 18: want to know your thoughts about who you who you're
- 48:00Speaker 18: going to get behind. And I said, I'm not going
- 48:03Speaker 18: to get ahead of you. I'd like to do what
- 48:05Speaker 18: you're doing, but you've.
- 48:06Speaker 2: Got to tell me.
- 48:07Speaker 18: He said, I don't know, and he firmly came out
- 48:10Speaker 18: and said, I'm not endorsing anybody.
- 48:11Speaker 2: And that's where I stood, Todd.
- 48:13Speaker 18: I'm not going to endorse one over the other to
- 48:15Speaker 18: skew the results. Let people look at what they stand
- 48:18Speaker 18: for and what they say they're going to do in
- 48:20Speaker 18: Tennessee and make their own opinions. Because they both been
- 48:24Speaker 18: in politics in the Senate and in the House, and
- 48:27Speaker 18: look at their voting records and I'm sure they're going
- 48:30Speaker 18: to be similar.
- 48:31Speaker 2: So you know, I'm not going to sway the voters.
- 48:34Speaker 18: Okay, I mean I'm going to both their campaign events
- 48:38Speaker 18: this week, so I'm not going to skew that in
- 48:40Speaker 18: any way, shape or form. But people need to you
- 48:43Speaker 18: need to look at what they've done. You need to
- 48:45Speaker 18: look at your voting record and see what they say they're.
- 48:47Speaker 2: Going to do.
- 48:48Speaker 3: Fair enough, real quick before we let you go. The
- 48:51Speaker 3: President deciding to put the pause again onto Iran and
- 48:55Speaker 3: the and the war. What are you what are you
- 48:59Speaker 3: hearing from your construct Because our listeners are really frustrated
- 49:03Speaker 3: here and they just wish a decision would be made.
- 49:06Speaker 3: Let's get this done, get it over with and move
- 49:09Speaker 3: on with life.
- 49:11Speaker 18: Well, I don't know if it's a secret to anybody,
- 49:14Speaker 18: how I feel. I'm like, don't ever trust them. They'll
- 49:17Speaker 18: never tell you the truth. They've never told anybody the
- 49:20Speaker 18: truth before.
- 49:20Speaker 2: They lie. That is their matra, that's their matto. They lie.
- 49:24Speaker 18: I said, either turn it into a parking lot or
- 49:26Speaker 18: go old testamon them. I said, don't even stop. Just
- 49:29Speaker 18: get the job done. If you're going to do it,
- 49:31Speaker 18: you're already in there. Just get it done and then
- 49:35Speaker 18: declare victory and go on about your business. Because they're
- 49:38Speaker 18: always going to be a threat. They've always been a threat,
- 49:41Speaker 18: and they're not a friend of Israel and we are
- 49:44Speaker 18: so and look what they're doing to the Middle East
- 49:46Speaker 18: countries around them.
- 49:48Speaker 2: It's just havoc.
- 49:49Speaker 18: And I think they're pitching in now saying, hey, they're
- 49:52Speaker 18: a nuisance to us, so we'll see what happens. You know,
- 49:55Speaker 18: I've always said this, Todd. I'm like, you need to
- 49:57Speaker 18: create policy based on prophecy. Just go back and read
- 50:00Speaker 18: the Bible. It's pretty clear. And who's going to be
- 50:03Speaker 18: on your side and who's not, and who wants to
- 50:05Speaker 18: kill again who doesn't. So don't waste your money on
- 50:08Speaker 18: places that are never going.
- 50:09Speaker 3: To be your freedom, well said, all right. Congress Woman
- 50:13Speaker 3: fired up today loaded for bear, as they say, it's
- 50:17Speaker 3: always good seeing you, and it's gonna be a fun
- 50:20Speaker 3: It's gonna be fun Thursday in Tennessee watching those numbers
- 50:23Speaker 3: come again.
- 50:25Speaker 2: Yes, sir, We're going to have fun.
- 50:27Speaker 18: So I just implore everybody to get out and vote.
- 50:30Speaker 18: Exercise your constitutional right that the Good Lord gave you,
- 50:33Speaker 18: and go vote.
- 50:34Speaker 3: All right, Congresswoman Diana Harshberger from East Tennessee, a great
- 50:38Speaker 3: American patriot. We've got to take a quick break. We're
- 50:41Speaker 3: going to be going right to your phones. Your phone
- 50:43Speaker 3: calls nine oh one two six zero five nine two six,
- 50:47Speaker 3: this is the Todd Sterns show.
- 51:00Speaker 18: Wow.
- 51:02Speaker 3: Congress from and Harshbarger, she said, either turn iran into
- 51:06Speaker 3: a parking lot, or go old testament on them. Don't
- 51:09Speaker 3: even stop, just get the job done. I wish we
- 51:14Speaker 3: had more lawmakers like that up on up on Capitol Hill.
- 51:19Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
- 51:21Speaker 3: our telephone number. Let's go to the phones. Charles ws
- 51:27Speaker 3: I see in North Carolina. Hi, Charles, what's on your mind?
- 51:32Speaker 15: Illegal immigration?
- 51:34Speaker 10: God?
- 51:36Speaker 15: You know, I think last week when a lot of
- 51:37Speaker 15: people saw what happened was happening in Spain, is just
- 51:40Speaker 15: kind of reignited the fears and frustration about what's going
- 51:46Speaker 15: on here with our problem. And thought I was talking
- 51:50Speaker 15: to people this weekend when I was out, and the
- 51:54Speaker 15: sense that I'm getting and what people are telling me
- 51:56Speaker 15: is that they're losing hope and they're losing faith that
- 52:00Speaker 15: President Trump is not going to follow through with these
- 52:02Speaker 15: mass deportations. I know just from a personal experience where
- 52:07Speaker 15: I worked out here in Cornelius it Golds Gym for
- 52:11Speaker 15: the last month. When I walk in to check in
- 52:13Speaker 15: the workout, there's a crew that's doing some renovation work.
- 52:17Speaker 15: They're all speaking Spanish, they're ninety percent women. They can
- 52:21Speaker 15: barely have enough strength to pick up a whill bear
- 52:24Speaker 15: and they're doing all the work. There's a mosque that's
- 52:28Speaker 15: going up six miles from me, and tonight I'm going
- 52:32Speaker 15: to the Moorsville town Hall. We're trying to stop it
- 52:35Speaker 15: from being built. You go in a bank tide and
- 52:39Speaker 15: you hear people in there opening up bank accounts. They're
- 52:42Speaker 15: speaking Spanish and you wonder if they're citizens. And I
- 52:45Speaker 15: know from the Patriot Act, in order to open up
- 52:47Speaker 15: a bank account, you got to have a Social Security
- 52:49Speaker 15: number and proper documentation. So people are just it's not
- 52:54Speaker 15: that we want the bat on braised outside like you
- 52:57Speaker 15: said earlier. I want them all gone. I don't care
- 53:00Speaker 15: whether that's twenty two million, fifty million, sixty million. And
- 53:04Speaker 15: there's a lot that can be done, but it's not
- 53:08Speaker 15: being done, you know, like the Labor Department enforcing the Everify.
- 53:13Speaker 15: I think the Treasury Department could be putting the screws
- 53:16Speaker 15: to banks like Bank of America and Wells Fargo to
- 53:19Speaker 15: close bank accounts of people if they don't have the
- 53:22Speaker 15: proper documentation. You know, you could be finding companies like
- 53:26Speaker 15: Western Union for people trying to send cash out of
- 53:29Speaker 15: the country. I mean, just a lot of things. But
- 53:31Speaker 15: we're todd people were watching our whole culture change right
- 53:35Speaker 15: before our eyes. And people are seeing that. And I
- 53:38Speaker 15: can tell you from what I hear on a spelle
- 53:40Speaker 15: of one to ten, people care a whole heck of
- 53:42Speaker 15: a lot more about that than what's going on in
- 53:44Speaker 15: the Middle East. I don't have I didn't talk to
- 53:46Speaker 15: one person this weekend that was pro war, Let's stay
- 53:50Speaker 15: in Iran, let's do this, let's do that. It was
- 53:53Speaker 15: let's focus on getting these illegals out of our country,
- 53:57Speaker 15: getting inflation under control, and implementing the agenda that we
- 54:01Speaker 15: voted for. That's what I hear.
- 54:03Speaker 3: Yeah, look, and to that point, there was there was
- 54:06Speaker 3: a lot of scuttle butt on social media over the
- 54:08Speaker 3: weekend about a mosque in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and a mosque
- 54:12Speaker 3: near Pigeon Forge. It's you know, this is going to
- 54:16Speaker 3: happen very very quickly, Charles and unless we get a
- 54:20Speaker 3: handle on this. And we've got a guy running for
- 54:22Speaker 3: governor in Tennessee. His name is Monty Fritz, and he's
- 54:28Speaker 3: he's on the record saying we you know, we we
- 54:31Speaker 3: cannot have Islam in the state of Tennessee. His idea
- 54:35Speaker 3: is this is a political ideology not a religion, therefore
- 54:38Speaker 3: it is not protected under the Constitution. But I'm just
- 54:42Speaker 3: telling you, the Christians in Tennessee are going to stand
- 54:45Speaker 3: down while Islam overtakes the you know, the volunteer state.
- 54:49Speaker 3: That will happen.
- 54:52Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, it's just well, Kyle, look back at
- 54:55Speaker 15: coache Just look how people stood down and and gave
- 54:58Speaker 15: their liberties away. Let church's businesses be shut down, school closures,
- 55:03Speaker 15: and all the name of public health. It was based
- 55:06Speaker 15: on a lot that we know from what we are
- 55:08Speaker 15: listen doctor Fauci last week. But it's just amazing that
- 55:12Speaker 15: more people are not standing up. And I hope we
- 55:14Speaker 15: have a big turnout tonight in Morsel at the town hall.
- 55:17Speaker 15: But Todd, one last thing, this Stave of America Act.
- 55:21Speaker 5: People are really.
- 55:22Speaker 15: Upset about Congress leaving town for what six weeks when
- 55:26Speaker 15: there's so many much unfinished business. And here's the thing. God,
- 55:30Speaker 15: as much as I like Trump and support Trump, he
- 55:32Speaker 15: could invoke Article two, Section three and cancel that.
- 55:36Speaker 3: August Fry Okay, yeah, no, no, no, I hear you, And
- 55:41Speaker 3: where the computer's going to cut me off? Your Charles,
- 55:43Speaker 3: But yeah, I know we've we've been down that path.
- 55:45Speaker 3: The President is just not going to do that. He's
- 55:48Speaker 3: just not going to do it, and it breaks my heart.
- 55:50Speaker 3: But I'm telling you, ladies and gentlemen, and Charles Tanker
- 55:53Speaker 3: for the call, I am telling you this. The administration
- 55:57Speaker 3: is on the wrong side of this Iran issue and
- 56:01Speaker 3: on immigration right now, and they've got to get Iran
- 56:04Speaker 3: figured out very quickly or that is going to it's
- 56:07Speaker 3: going to have a consequence in November nine oh one
- 56:10Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six will be right back.
- 56:20Speaker 5: No.
- 56:21Speaker 6: Doctor Anthony Faucci on behalf of doctor Anthony Fucci.
- 56:26Speaker 19: My fellow COVID survivors. On advice of counsel, I decided
- 56:32Speaker 19: to write a children's book to improve my public image.
- 56:36Speaker 19: It's the story of Hansel and Gretel, as told from
- 56:40Speaker 19: the point of view of the witch named Faucina. Kids
- 56:46Speaker 19: will be surprised to find out she's really not such
- 56:50Speaker 19: a bad person.
- 56:52Speaker 20: She just needs to eat children from time to time to.
- 56:56Speaker 4: Develop new spells to help other kids and advance his
- 57:02Speaker 4: scientific career.
- 57:05Speaker 6: The Story of Hansel and Gretel like You've never imagined
- 57:08Speaker 6: it before, Written by Anthony Fanci's attorneys and illustrated by
- 57:13Speaker 6: Kanye West.
- 57:14Speaker 20: Those two stood my cook quayons.
- 57:18Speaker 4: Buy my book instead of Todd Scan's book because his
- 57:24Speaker 4: is full of COVID.
- 57:28Speaker 6: Well it is.
- 57:29Speaker 3: Now wait, what what are you talking about, doctor fauci
- 57:34Speaker 3: All right, hey, those are fighting words, sir, fighting words.
- 57:37Speaker 3: I say thank you to our good buddy Paul Shanklin
- 57:41Speaker 3: for that little item that landed in our newsroom earlier today.
- 57:46Speaker 3: Welcome back to the Todd Starns Radio show. Falcina. Is
- 57:50Speaker 3: that that's the name of the witch Hansel and Gretel
- 57:53Speaker 3: from the perspective of the witch. All right, By the way,

- 59:04Speaker 3: Wendy Patrick, the great Newsmax columnist, joining us on the
- 59:07Speaker 3: Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line from California. Wendy, hope you're doing
- 59:12Speaker 3: well today, Todd.
- 59:13Speaker 21: You took the words right out of my mouth. I
- 59:15Speaker 21: was going to say, I wish I could join you
- 59:17Speaker 21: live at the party tomorrow. That is going to be
- 59:19Speaker 21: a phenomenal event.
- 59:21Speaker 3: Well, we're gonna have it's going to be a lot
- 59:22Speaker 3: of fun. And again, the folks are just you know,
- 59:25Speaker 3: when they see the cover of the book, it's called
- 59:27Speaker 3: The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America, and we sort
- 59:29Speaker 3: of went with a great Gatsby feel the Roaring twenties,
- 59:34Speaker 3: just to sort of celebrate all the great things Trump
- 59:36Speaker 3: has done for the country and also painting a path
- 59:40Speaker 3: for what the future looks like when it comes to
- 59:42Speaker 3: the America First Movement. So we really do hope that
- 59:46Speaker 3: folks come out tomorrow and hang out with us. Wendy,
- 59:49Speaker 3: you heard our little parody bit on doctor Fauci. But
- 59:53Speaker 3: in all seriousness, there really was not a lot, not
- 59:56Speaker 3: a lot to laugh about last week during his testimony
- 59:58Speaker 3: on Capitol Hill.
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: No Todd nothing to laugh about.
- 1:00:02Speaker 21: And I have to say one of the most disappointing
- 1:00:06Speaker 21: facets of that hearing, I won't call it testimony because
- 1:00:09Speaker 21: he didn't say anything except for an opening statement, but
- 1:00:11Speaker 21: one of the most disappointing parts of that was a
- 1:00:14Speaker 21: lot of people wanted to hear them basically say, look,
- 1:00:16Speaker 21: we didn't know then what we know now, some version
- 1:00:19Speaker 21: of accountability. Nobody expected some long drawn out apology, but
- 1:00:23Speaker 21: maybe just some perspective into why his diary entries, for example,
- 1:00:28Speaker 21: Todd were so different than what he was saying publicly
- 1:00:31Speaker 21: in a lot of major respects, and so there was
- 1:00:34Speaker 21: just a lot that could have happened that people wish
- 1:00:37Speaker 21: had happened differently, And because he took the fifth one
- 1:00:40Speaker 21: hundred and eleven times, obviously he doesn't once it's going
- 1:00:42Speaker 21: to continue doing it, you know, not even talking about
- 1:00:45Speaker 21: what color is his tie, what color is the carpet.
- 1:00:47Speaker 21: But that really frustrated lawmakers to the extent that the
- 1:00:51Speaker 21: battle now is not necessarily about what might happen in
- 1:00:55Speaker 21: a courtroom in the future, but what is going to
- 1:00:58Speaker 21: happen this week in terms of trying to at least
- 1:01:01Speaker 21: hold him in contempt of Congress. So that's the next
- 1:01:03Speaker 21: step for doctor Fagie.
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: Do you think again holding him in content of Congress? A?
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: Do you think it's going to happen? And if so,
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: what would the penalty be that would of course would
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: bring him the Justice Department.
- 1:01:15Speaker 21: At that point, I don't think it'll get past the Senate.
- 1:01:19Speaker 21: Remember you that you have too many Republicans that would
- 1:01:22Speaker 21: need to vote for a contempt proceeding as well, you know,
- 1:01:26Speaker 21: our Democrats, I should say, but you know, one of
- 1:01:27Speaker 21: the things that that really brings up is whether or
- 1:01:31Speaker 21: not and that may not happen, and everybody may know that,
- 1:01:33Speaker 21: and that's not going to happen because the math doesn't work. However,
- 1:01:37Speaker 21: having said all of that, the disappointment that people felt
- 1:01:40Speaker 21: is palatable, But does that necessarily translate into having this
- 1:01:44Speaker 21: be something that can be pursued criminally? Criminal referrals twer
- 1:01:48Speaker 21: made all the time. We all know this year lawmakers
- 1:01:50Speaker 21: on both sides of the aisle saying now we're making
- 1:01:52Speaker 21: criminal referrals. That doesn't even necessarily mean the dj has
- 1:01:55Speaker 21: to begin an investigation. And let me tell you why
- 1:01:58Speaker 21: this is such a tough case. The Fifth Amendment is
- 1:02:02Speaker 21: a very important protection that is afforded when one might
- 1:02:06Speaker 21: say anything that could then lead to a prosecution state
- 1:02:10Speaker 21: or federal, because everybody knows pardons only cover federal crimes.
- 1:02:13Speaker 21: But also remember that the circumstances of this pardon was
- 1:02:17Speaker 21: from twenty fourteen to twenty twenty five January twenty twenty five.
- 1:02:21Speaker 21: If he were to take the stand, well, actually he
- 1:02:24Speaker 21: was on the stand. If he would have answered questions
- 1:02:27Speaker 21: and incriminated himself by saying anything that was false at
- 1:02:32Speaker 21: that hearing, well then that's perjury that's not covered by
- 1:02:34Speaker 21: the pardon. It wasn't like he had immunity to testify
- 1:02:39Speaker 21: in front of Congress that would have been very different.
- 1:02:42Speaker 21: So as frustrating as that is, many feel at least
- 1:02:45Speaker 21: a contempt hearing would be another opportunity to express the displeasure,
- 1:02:49Speaker 21: and they did a lot of that last week when
- 1:02:51Speaker 21: you heard a lot of people say what they wish
- 1:02:53Speaker 21: that had a forum to say over the last six years.
- 1:02:57Speaker 21: It may simply be that this bad press will all
- 1:03:00Speaker 21: of them, but that won't necessarily down the line translate
- 1:03:02Speaker 21: into a criminal conviction.
- 1:03:04Speaker 3: Wendy, I'm wondering about the state. I know that Florida
- 1:03:08Speaker 3: the Attorney General, they're already launching an investigation. And again
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: that parton would not cover any state charges, right, So
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: I'm wondering, you know, if the Feds, if they can't
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: get jail time for Fauci there, I'm wondering what the
- 1:03:25Speaker 3: odds are looking like at the state level.
- 1:03:28Speaker 21: Well, you need to find something he did that fits
- 1:03:31Speaker 21: neatly within a state criminal statue. We saw a lot
- 1:03:36Speaker 21: of this happening during the pandemic in the years following
- 1:03:39Speaker 21: because of all the unrest we were experiencing. By the way,
- 1:03:42Speaker 21: that's one of the reasons people are up in arms
- 1:03:43Speaker 21: again over Fauci's non testimony is it's sort of reviving
- 1:03:47Speaker 21: all those negative emotions that we had and wondering why
- 1:03:50Speaker 21: did our children have to miss out on several years
- 1:03:55Speaker 21: of school, putting them behind both academically, socially and emotionally.
- 1:04:00Speaker 21: Why did so many people get fired for not taking
- 1:04:02Speaker 21: the vaccine? I mean, all those questions are now being
- 1:04:05Speaker 21: placed squarely on doctor Fauci and whether or not he
- 1:04:09Speaker 21: knew something different than what he was saying publicly and Todd.
- 1:04:12Speaker 21: That brings up this issue of the diary, which isn't
- 1:04:14Speaker 21: one of those little decorative diaries little girls keep their secrets,
- 1:04:18Speaker 21: and this was on a public server, government server. That's
- 1:04:21Speaker 21: one of the reasons.
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: We have it.
- 1:04:22Speaker 21: But it really brings up the reality that not only
- 1:04:26Speaker 21: as you mentioned, is it possible that because he's already
- 1:04:28Speaker 21: being investigated, he could face some criminal liability state wise,
- 1:04:32Speaker 21: which of course wouldn't be covered by the pardon, but
- 1:04:34Speaker 21: also whether or not perjury at that hearing could have
- 1:04:38Speaker 21: been proven if what he said was so different than
- 1:04:41Speaker 21: his diary entries. And I have to say that could
- 1:04:43Speaker 21: even be on a technicality. He's eighty five years old.
- 1:04:46Speaker 21: He wrote this diary sometime back during the pandemic doesn't
- 1:04:50Speaker 21: have it memorized. I mean, that's a tough feat for
- 1:04:53Speaker 21: anybody to remember all those entries what they said. So
- 1:04:56Speaker 21: even though rand Paul very strategically and why prefaced his
- 1:05:01Speaker 21: question with the reality that he was only asking about
- 1:05:04Speaker 21: the period covered by the pardon, that still might have
- 1:05:06Speaker 21: gone wrong is that he might have said something untruthful,
- 1:05:09Speaker 21: not just wrong, but untruthful during that hearing. Then that
- 1:05:12Speaker 21: would be perjury entirely different.
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: Prime Wendy Patrick joining us on our Patriot Mobile use
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: Maker line today. Wendy is a Newsmax columnist and a
- 1:05:20Speaker 3: career trial attorney. Real quick, Wendy, before we let you go,
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: Just an interesting story coming out of out of DC
- 1:05:29Speaker 3: over the weekend with the Justice Department stepping back away
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: for or stepping back away from, the charges on the
- 1:05:38Speaker 3: guy accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial reflecting Pool. I know,
- 1:05:42Speaker 3: President Trump's pretty upset with our good friend judge Judge
- 1:05:45Speaker 3: Janine over this, but again her decision to move to
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: dismiss those felony charges, and it seems like a lot
- 1:05:52Speaker 3: of folks are back and forth, you know, with the
- 1:05:55Speaker 3: blame game. It just seems to me no matter who
- 1:05:58Speaker 3: you are, what political part you are a part of,
- 1:06:01Speaker 3: you got to make sure you have the evidence.
- 1:06:05Speaker 21: You have to make sure you have the evidence, Todd.
- 1:06:07Speaker 21: And that's one of the reasons so many of us
- 1:06:08Speaker 21: watch that tape so closely. I mean, President Trump posted
- 1:06:12Speaker 21: it on x or truth social so we had to
- 1:06:14Speaker 21: watch it.
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: But what it shows is a lot of people with
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: their hands in the water in broad daylight.
- 1:06:19Speaker 21: You know, Judge Janine really does a lot for President
- 1:06:24Speaker 21: Trump and basically really moving forward his policies, But she's
- 1:06:27Speaker 21: also a prosecutor and she has to be led by
- 1:06:29Speaker 21: the evidence. That's one of the reasons we take cases
- 1:06:32Speaker 21: to the grand jury. But it's also one of the
- 1:06:33Speaker 21: reasons that if subsequent evidence disproves or cast doubt on
- 1:06:38Speaker 21: whether or not something can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt,
- 1:06:41Speaker 21: all prosecutors have to do the right thing. And that's
- 1:06:44Speaker 21: what made it tricky here. It didn't hurt Todd that
- 1:06:46Speaker 21: it was a former olympian that was among those who
- 1:06:51Speaker 21: were arrested. Talk about a way to draw attention to
- 1:06:54Speaker 21: a high profile prosecution. You are correct, the President's unhappy,
- 1:06:58Speaker 21: but I have to say he expresses his displeasure on
- 1:07:02Speaker 21: this one, and I'm sure they're going to be back
- 1:07:04Speaker 21: on the same page in the future. You can't rush
- 1:07:06Speaker 21: to judgment whether you're building a reflecting pool or building
- 1:07:09Speaker 21: a case.
- 1:07:10Speaker 3: And again, Judge Janine did the right thing here. She's
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: following the letter of the law. So you know, again
- 1:07:15Speaker 3: if there's if there's an issue, it may possibly be
- 1:07:17Speaker 3: with Doug Bergham over it Interior for the way they
- 1:07:21Speaker 3: presented this case to the to to her office in
- 1:07:24Speaker 3: the first place. But we'll let all the politicos handle
- 1:07:27Speaker 3: all of that. So my goodness, Wendy Patrick, always good
- 1:07:31Speaker 3: at hearing from you, and we look forward to seeing
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: you next week. Thanks Wendy, Thank you.
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: Todd.
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: All right, there you go. Yeah, that's a crazy story
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: that Bergham, by the way, is doubling down and saying
- 1:07:43Speaker 3: the evidence is clear that vandals have repeatedly caused damage
- 1:07:48Speaker 3: to the reflecting pool. That was not, however, in the
- 1:07:52Speaker 3: evidence that was presented to Judge Janine. So again, it's
- 1:07:56Speaker 3: just been a weird tough weekend for the administration on
- 1:07:59Speaker 3: a lot a lot of different levels. All right, here's
- 1:08:02Speaker 3: what we're going to do. We've got to take a
- 1:08:04Speaker 3: break when we come back. We're going right to your

- 1:09:37Speaker 3: It's true. Okay, let's go to Robert in the stage Fall, North, Carolina,
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: w S. I c Hey, Robert, what's going on? What's
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: on your mind?
- 1:09:48Speaker 8: Hey? God, I listened to you here in the shop
- 1:09:51Speaker 8: every day. I don't know Charles, who calls in also
- 1:09:55Speaker 8: from Safe, but I think we think almost exactly att right.
- 1:10:01Speaker 8: What I wanted to say was the deal with Iran.
- 1:10:05Speaker 8: If you boil it down, it's like if I'm standing
- 1:10:09Speaker 8: out by my bailbox and my neighbor's dog that is
- 1:10:12Speaker 8: known to attack people charges me with his peak beard.
- 1:10:17Speaker 8: I am not going to try to run away. I'm
- 1:10:19Speaker 8: not going to try to say be nice, nice dog.
- 1:10:23Speaker 8: I'm gonna pull my conceal carry legal conceal carry pistol out.
- 1:10:27Speaker 8: I'm not shoot him through the head. And I think
- 1:10:30Speaker 8: that's what we should have done in the first place
- 1:10:32Speaker 8: with Iran.
- 1:10:34Speaker 3: Yeah, Robert, I'm with you there, and again it should
- 1:10:38Speaker 3: have been whatever we did on day one should have
- 1:10:42Speaker 3: been so ferocious and violence that the uranium. The Iranians
- 1:10:47Speaker 3: would have surrendered right there on the spot. That's what
- 1:10:51Speaker 3: should have happened, and unfortunately that did it just did
- 1:10:54Speaker 3: not happen.
- 1:10:55Speaker 8: Yeah, I think history Prusy can't deal with people like that.
- 1:11:00Speaker 8: You can't make deals, you can't trust anything they say.
- 1:11:04Speaker 8: There's very little options, and I think that's that's the
- 1:11:07Speaker 8: best option.
- 1:11:08Speaker 3: And Robert, Robert, the sound you're about to hear is
- 1:11:12Speaker 3: me banging my head on the anchor desk because this
- 1:11:16Speaker 3: just this just came in from Fox News. President Trump
- 1:11:20Speaker 3: is now calling out the do do uh plicitus relate
- 1:11:24Speaker 3: I Ronnie in leadership. The President says that they are
- 1:11:27Speaker 3: now appearing to back away from intentions to talk on Monday.
- 1:11:32Speaker 3: Uh the President Right, So there you go, Robert, I
- 1:11:35Speaker 3: mean it's again, how many times it's like groundhog Day
- 1:11:38Speaker 3: all over again.

- 1:12:39Speaker 3: the next hour, we're going to hit on this w
- 1:12:42Speaker 3: NBA story. But also did you hear they're starting a
- 1:12:45Speaker 3: professional women's baseball league? Not sure how that's going to
- 1:12:50Speaker 3: go over, But Parker, did you hear about the national anthem?
- 1:12:53Speaker 3: Do we have the national anthem? We don't have the
- 1:12:56Speaker 3: national anthem?
- 1:12:57Speaker 9: All right?
- 1:12:57Speaker 3: Did hear? Yeah?
- 1:12:59Speaker 17: Basically?
- 1:12:59Speaker 3: Okay, Well, well we're not going to talk about it now,
- 1:13:01Speaker 3: but guys, get that to get that to me and
- 1:13:03Speaker 3: we'll we'll play that in the next segment. Yeah, this
- 1:13:07Speaker 3: is interesting. The the w n b A is losing
- 1:13:12Speaker 3: their ever loving mind. So now ESPN came out over
- 1:13:16Speaker 3: the weekend and ESPN they're on board now with the
- 1:13:19Speaker 3: transgender agenda. And you've got a coach in the w
- 1:13:25Speaker 3: n b A saying that she believes men should be
- 1:13:28Speaker 3: able to play in the league. And I'm with I'm
- 1:13:31Speaker 3: with Klay Travis on this and I you know, Parker,
- 1:13:34Speaker 3: we were talking about this during one of the breaks.
- 1:13:37Speaker 3: Travis wants to field. He wants to launch a w
- 1:13:41Speaker 3: NBA team made up exclusively of men who identify as women,
- 1:13:46Speaker 3: and he predicts that they will win every single game.
- 1:13:48Speaker 3: I want to be an investor in that.
- 1:13:51Speaker 17: That's a great idea.
- 1:13:52Speaker 3: I think that at the end of the day, that
- 1:13:55Speaker 3: could be a championship team that could would would just
- 1:14:00Speaker 3: just sweep every single game. They would go undefeated national
- 1:14:05Speaker 3: champions year after year after year. That's what I'm thinking here.
- 1:14:09Speaker 3: So anyway, we're gonna get into more of that unbelievable uh.
- 1:14:13Speaker 3: The attacks on Sophie Cunningham. Also this story out of
- 1:14:16Speaker 3: Twin Falls, Idaho, where two good guys with guns stopped
- 1:14:21Speaker 3: a bad guy with a gun. Just an incredible story.
- 1:14:24Speaker 3: A sad story. Three people killed at an in and
- 1:14:26Speaker 3: out burger, seven people injured, and the police are giving
- 1:14:31Speaker 3: the full credit to stopping what would have been a slaughter.
- 1:14:33Speaker 3: They're giving credit to this civilian who just started learning
- 1:14:38Speaker 3: how to use the gun back in twenty twenty one,
- 1:14:40Speaker 3: and he learned very well. All Right, I gotta take
- 1:14:43Speaker 3: a break here. Nine oh one two six zero five
- 1:14:46Speaker 3: nine two six. This is the Todd Starnes Radio.
- 1:14:49Speaker 22: Show by from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: It's America's conservative blowtorch.
- 1:15:12Speaker 5: That's that's that.
- 1:15:16Speaker 4: This American.
- 1:15:20Speaker 3: To start by yea and hello everybody. Welcome to our
- 1:15:24Speaker 3: three of the Big Show. Great to have you with us,
- 1:15:26Speaker 3: and we have a lot going on this hour of
- 1:15:29Speaker 3: the program. By the way, write down our telephone number.
- 1:15:32Speaker 3: You will need this if you plan on calling in today.
- 1:15:34Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. Again,
- 1:15:38Speaker 3: that's nine oh one two six zero five to nine
- 1:15:41Speaker 3: two six. Well, we've been following a lot of big
- 1:15:44Speaker 3: races around the country. Coming up later this week, we're
- 1:15:47Speaker 3: going to be taking you to Georgia and North Carolina
- 1:15:50Speaker 3: and Michigan. So a lot happening across the nation, and
- 1:15:55Speaker 3: of course right here in Tennessee, we have a huge
- 1:15:59Speaker 3: statewide race coming up on Thursday. One of the big
- 1:16:03Speaker 3: big races, really one of the national races, is in
- 1:16:07Speaker 3: the newly drawn ninth Congressional district. Now, Republicans are going
- 1:16:12Speaker 3: to see this as a pickup of a Republican seat
- 1:16:16Speaker 3: and the individual that's leading, and really everybody seems to
- 1:16:21Speaker 3: think he is the front runner. He's got the endorsements
- 1:16:24Speaker 3: of a lot of folks around the nation, including one
- 1:16:27Speaker 3: man in particular, President Donald J. Trump, and that endorsement
- 1:16:31Speaker 3: always known as the gold standard. He is the man
- 1:16:36Speaker 3: with a coonskin ball cap. Our good friend, State Senator
- 1:16:40Speaker 3: Brent Taylor, soon to be possibly Congressman Brent Taylor. Good
- 1:16:44Speaker 3: to see us, sir, Great.
- 1:16:46Speaker 17: To be with you.
- 1:16:47Speaker 3: So you have to explain the coonskin cap though, to
- 1:16:51Speaker 3: our national audience, there is a reason why you're wearing
- 1:16:55Speaker 3: a coonskin ball cap.
- 1:16:57Speaker 23: That's right. You know, most people know David Crockett from
- 1:17:00Speaker 23: the Alamo, But what a lot of people don't know
- 1:17:03Speaker 23: is that he was actually a congressman from Tennessee, and
- 1:17:06Speaker 23: he was a Whig congressman. That's what they call conservatives.
- 1:17:09Speaker 23: Really Republicans. Before they started calling Republicans, they were Whigs,
- 1:17:14Speaker 23: and he was a Whig congressman, and he and Andrew
- 1:17:16Speaker 23: Jackson is the big Democrat president. They despised one another,
- 1:17:21Speaker 23: and so Crockett would get elected to Congress. President Jackson
- 1:17:25Speaker 23: would come along and beat him. A couple of years later,
- 1:17:28Speaker 23: David Crockett would run again and win. And on David
- 1:17:31Speaker 23: Crockett's last reelection, Todd he was at the courthouse and
- 1:17:36Speaker 23: they were counting the votes and imagine him standing there
- 1:17:40Speaker 23: with his you know, his leather jacket on with the
- 1:17:43Speaker 23: fringe on the sleeves and his coonskin cap and probably
- 1:17:46Speaker 23: carrying a rifle. They came to him and say, Congressman Crockett,
- 1:17:50Speaker 23: I'm sorry, but you came up a little bit short.
- 1:17:53Speaker 23: You're not gonna win reelection. And it was at that
- 1:17:55Speaker 23: moment that David Crockett went out on the courthouse steps.
- 1:17:59Speaker 23: All the people were assembled there waiting on the election returns,
- 1:18:03Speaker 23: and he looked at him and he said, I'm going
- 1:18:06Speaker 23: to Texas and all you people can go to Hell.
- 1:18:10Speaker 23: So the reason I wear a coonskin baseball cap is
- 1:18:14Speaker 23: that I think I've got that same Tennessee grit that
- 1:18:17Speaker 23: David Crockett had, And I want to say it a
- 1:18:21Speaker 23: little bit differently, and that is that I want to
- 1:18:23Speaker 23: go to Congress to get to give the Democrats hell.
- 1:18:26Speaker 23: But there's one Democrat, Todd, We're going to have to
- 1:18:28Speaker 23: get passed first, and that's probably Justin J. Pearson. He's
- 1:18:31Speaker 23: likely to be the Democrat opponent. And I'm going to
- 1:18:35Speaker 23: take the fight to him, because anybody that stands in
- 1:18:38Speaker 23: front of law enforcement in the State House chamber and
- 1:18:42Speaker 23: calls him an MF boy deserves to have the fight
- 1:18:45Speaker 23: taken to him. And I'm going to make sure Todd
- 1:18:47Speaker 23: that the only way he ever sees the inside of
- 1:18:50Speaker 23: the United States Capital is through the visitor center on
- 1:18:53Speaker 23: a guided tour, not through the members only doors.
- 1:18:55Speaker 3: Okay, I think we got a and we're going to
- 1:18:57Speaker 3: have to explain some of what you just said for
- 1:18:59Speaker 3: our national audience. Here. Justin Pearson's the guy with the powerfrow.
- 1:19:04Speaker 3: We call him Jasmine Crockett with a frow here on
- 1:19:08Speaker 3: this program. He is a radical leftist. He's had the
- 1:19:12Speaker 3: support of AOC. You've got Aana Presley Summer read a
- 1:19:17Speaker 3: lot of the far left members of the Democrat Caucus
- 1:19:21Speaker 3: have actually been in Memphis campaigning for him, and he
- 1:19:25Speaker 3: has caused a lot of chaos up at the state capitol,
- 1:19:28Speaker 3: and to your point, during right after one contentious gathering,
- 1:19:33Speaker 3: he actually went out there and got in the face
- 1:19:35Speaker 3: of a state trooper and called him a mother e
- 1:19:38Speaker 3: fing boy and has received widespread condemnation as a result
- 1:19:44Speaker 3: of that. The problem here I see, Senator, is that
- 1:19:48Speaker 3: it's happening in Tennessee. You know that we're watching these
- 1:19:50Speaker 3: radicals rise up in many conservative of the conservative southern states.
- 1:19:56Speaker 3: How big of a problem do you see this for
- 1:19:58Speaker 3: the country.
- 1:20:00Speaker 23: It's a big problem. And as it relates to here
- 1:20:01Speaker 23: in Tennessee, we need confidence, not chaos. We need more
- 1:20:06Speaker 23: David Crocketts and less Jasmine Crockets in Congress. But it
- 1:20:09Speaker 23: is a real concern. You look at what's happening across
- 1:20:11Speaker 23: the country in these Democratic Socialists of America, they're having inroads.
- 1:20:15Speaker 23: And make no mistake, Justin Pearson will be one of
- 1:20:20Speaker 23: those DSA candidates, and it's my intention to stop him,
- 1:20:24Speaker 23: not in Tennessee. And that's why it's important that people
- 1:20:27Speaker 23: go out to the polls this coming Thursday in Tennessee.
- 1:20:31Speaker 3: And vote. You've got three other candidates that are running
- 1:20:34Speaker 3: against you. They don't have the gold standard. And I'm
- 1:20:37Speaker 3: wondering what that was like for you to get that
- 1:20:39Speaker 3: telephone call from President Trump saying you're my guy.
- 1:20:43Speaker 23: You know the phone rang. It was a two two
- 1:20:46Speaker 23: area code, which I knew to be Washington, DC, and
- 1:20:49Speaker 23: so I answered it. And Todd is, just like you
- 1:20:52Speaker 23: here on the movies. If there's a lady on the
- 1:20:55Speaker 23: other end of the phone and she says, this is
- 1:20:57Speaker 23: Margo with the White House, could you please for the president?
- 1:21:01Speaker 23: And you know what am I going to say? I'm
- 1:21:04Speaker 23: in the middle of something. Could he called me back?
- 1:21:05Speaker 23: In ten minutes? I did it. I said sure, I'll
- 1:21:08Speaker 23: take the call. And the very next voice I hear
- 1:21:11Speaker 23: as President Trump, and the President says, Senator, how are
- 1:21:14Speaker 23: you doing? I said, well, I'm doing better now that
- 1:21:16Speaker 23: you've called than I was five minutes ago. And Todd
- 1:21:19Speaker 23: it was interesting. He knew full well about my race.
- 1:21:22Speaker 23: He said, I've been following your race. I have seen
- 1:21:24Speaker 23: that you have been fighting violent crime to ensure that
- 1:21:28Speaker 23: crime doesn't creep out of the big cities into these
- 1:21:30Speaker 23: smaller communities. I've seen your fight in the legislature on
- 1:21:34Speaker 23: fighting illegal immigration. And I've seen your fight against China
- 1:21:38Speaker 23: from the State House to protect farmlands and mineral rights
- 1:21:41Speaker 23: and our business businesses here in Tennessee from being counterfeited
- 1:21:46Speaker 23: by China. And he said, I want you to know
- 1:21:48Speaker 23: you've got my full and complete endorsement. Whatever I can
- 1:21:51Speaker 23: do to help. And it was really an amazing day,
- 1:21:54Speaker 23: and it turbo charged the campaign. And matter of fact,
- 1:21:59Speaker 23: it was announced at a debate that you were hosting
- 1:22:02Speaker 23: of the congressional candidates that day and it's been it's
- 1:22:07Speaker 23: been a rocket ship since then.
- 1:22:09Speaker 3: So and again we have State Senator Tennessee State Senator
- 1:22:12Speaker 3: Brent Taylor, who has the endorsement of President Donald J.
- 1:22:15Speaker 3: Trump in the night congressional district race. That's that election
- 1:22:19Speaker 3: is going to be Thursday. Of course, we have other
- 1:22:21Speaker 3: major races, including the governor's race. Marshall Blackburn, John Rose,
- 1:22:25Speaker 3: Monte Fritz all campaigning on the Republican side of the Ledger. There, Senator,
- 1:22:31Speaker 3: you've had a chance to, I have to imagine, meet
- 1:22:33Speaker 3: with a lot of a lot of Tennesseeans. Are what
- 1:22:37Speaker 3: are the big issues on the minds of Tennessee voters.
- 1:22:40Speaker 23: The big issues that we've encountered the most on the
- 1:22:42Speaker 23: campaign trail is violent crime, and as you know, I
- 1:22:46Speaker 23: have worked hard. I actually am the one that laid
- 1:22:49Speaker 23: the ground work for the President to ultimately send the
- 1:22:52Speaker 23: Memphis Safe Task Force to Memphis, where they have literally
- 1:22:55Speaker 23: cut crime in half. And the other end of my
- 1:22:58Speaker 23: congressional district is now and their crime problem is really
- 1:23:02Speaker 23: just as bad as memphisis was. And what I want
- 1:23:05Speaker 23: to do is I want to take that experience I've
- 1:23:06Speaker 23: had and working with the President and reducing crime and
- 1:23:08Speaker 23: Memphis to keep it from spreading to these smaller communities.
- 1:23:11Speaker 23: I want to do the same thing for Nashville. And
- 1:23:14Speaker 23: the other thing is illegal immigration. I think we obviously
- 1:23:18Speaker 23: need to fight illegal immigration, but I'm for putting a
- 1:23:21Speaker 23: pause on legal immigration todd so that the people that
- 1:23:24Speaker 23: are here legally can fully assimilate into American culture and
- 1:23:30Speaker 23: American society. And when we reopen immigration, it ought to
- 1:23:33Speaker 23: be based on what the needs of our labor or
- 1:23:37Speaker 23: what labor shortages we have, and it should be matched
- 1:23:40Speaker 23: that not just allowing anybody to come into America that
- 1:23:43Speaker 23: just wants a better life for themselves.
- 1:23:45Speaker 3: Now, your critics would say, okay, that's xenophobic. Brent Taylor
- 1:23:48Speaker 3: is a racist. He hates immigrant people, people from other countries.
- 1:23:54Speaker 3: How do you respond to that.
- 1:23:55Speaker 23: Well, first of all, I don't give a damn what
- 1:23:56Speaker 23: other people call me. I'm working to protect Tennessee first,
- 1:24:01Speaker 23: America first, and I'm for protecting Americans. This country was
- 1:24:05Speaker 23: built by Americans for Americans, and people that come here
- 1:24:09Speaker 23: through the legal channels ought to do so legally. But
- 1:24:13Speaker 23: we have more foreign born nationals in this country today
- 1:24:16Speaker 23: than we've ever had in our country's history. We need
- 1:24:19Speaker 23: to allow those people to assimilate because if we don't, Todd,
- 1:24:23Speaker 23: they're destroying the fabric of our country. They're destroying our
- 1:24:26Speaker 23: society and our cultures. We need to protect the Western values,
- 1:24:30Speaker 23: Western culture, and we have to do that by putting
- 1:24:33Speaker 23: a pause on immigration.
- 1:24:34Speaker 3: You know, another part of that is the Save America Act,
- 1:24:37Speaker 3: the idea that you've got possibly well, we know of
- 1:24:41Speaker 3: thousands and thousands, could be millions of people voting in
- 1:24:44Speaker 3: our elections illegally. Many of those people here in the
- 1:24:47Speaker 3: country illegally. How big of a deal is it for
- 1:24:51Speaker 3: the Senate to get the Save America Actor across the
- 1:24:54Speaker 3: finish line?
- 1:24:54Speaker 23: They need to do it. You know, the House has
- 1:24:56Speaker 23: passed it, and I will commit elected to Congress that
- 1:25:00Speaker 23: I'm going to support the Save Act if it comes
- 1:25:02Speaker 23: up in the next Congress. At the Senate refuses to
- 1:25:04Speaker 23: do his job, I'm going to fight to make sure
- 1:25:07Speaker 23: we get that passed because the people who should be
- 1:25:10Speaker 23: voting in our elections are Americans, and again we're destroying
- 1:25:15Speaker 23: our nation by not ensuring that only Americans can vote. Look,
- 1:25:19Speaker 23: my kids were little when they were playing Little League
- 1:25:22Speaker 23: baseball and soccer. I had to produce a birth certificate
- 1:25:25Speaker 23: for them to be able to play Little League ball.
- 1:25:28Speaker 23: It's not too much to ask for Americans to show
- 1:25:31Speaker 23: an official ID to ensure that they are who they
- 1:25:34Speaker 23: say they are before they cast a vote.
- 1:25:35Speaker 3: To that point, Mayor Zorron Mamdami, who's the Communist mayor
- 1:25:40Speaker 3: of New York City, announced that they're going to be
- 1:25:43Speaker 3: opening up these city run grocery stores. They're going to
- 1:25:47Speaker 3: undercut every private own grocery store by what chomping thirty
- 1:25:50Speaker 3: percent off the price tag. But today the mayor came
- 1:25:54Speaker 3: out and said, to get inside those grocery stores, you
- 1:25:58Speaker 3: have to have some sort of a photo Id's shocking
- 1:26:02Speaker 3: to know that Mam Dommy is I guess endorsing Jim
- 1:26:05Speaker 3: Crow two point zero there in New York City.
- 1:26:07Speaker 23: It's just awful. And what doesn't he understand people just
- 1:26:10Speaker 23: want to eat, They just want to be able to
- 1:26:12Speaker 23: feed their families. He should should not require that, and.
- 1:26:16Speaker 3: Those newly married women and they won't be able to
- 1:26:18Speaker 3: get to get a form of ID.
- 1:26:20Speaker 23: That's right. And think about all the people who who
- 1:26:23Speaker 23: don't have transportation and can't get to where they can
- 1:26:25Speaker 23: get an ID. I just think it's awful what he's
- 1:26:27Speaker 23: doing with those four folks.
- 1:26:28Speaker 3: We're honored to have State Senator Brent Taylor with us.
- 1:26:31Speaker 3: And I keep for those of you watching, I'm thumbing
- 1:26:34Speaker 3: through the book here. I wanted to read something because
- 1:26:36Speaker 3: you are mentioned quite a bit in my new book
- 1:26:39Speaker 3: in a Good Way. By the way, Senator uh And,
- 1:26:43Speaker 3: and there's a reason for that. I think it's one
- 1:26:45Speaker 3: of the reasons that you're doing so well and your
- 1:26:47Speaker 3: message is resonating with voters. Uh And I wrote this
- 1:26:52Speaker 3: in the book to my dear friends in Memphis. This
- 1:26:54Speaker 3: is the acknowledgment section. Y'all make the fund sat the
- 1:26:58Speaker 3: South fun, especially the Republicans there in Shelby County, Tennessee,
- 1:27:03Speaker 3: The Real Housewives of Germantown, My Friends, the Mighty Christians,
- 1:27:07Speaker 3: Rachel Bells, Shelley Chang, Justin Johnson, the modern day version
- 1:27:11Speaker 3: of the Memphis Mafia. Senator Brent Taylor, thank you for
- 1:27:15Speaker 3: making Memphis matter. That was that was really your campaign
- 1:27:20Speaker 3: that you launched. And there's a chapter in the book
- 1:27:23Speaker 3: how Trump Saved My Hometown, which is really our hometown, Senator,
- 1:27:27Speaker 3: And it's really been amazing to watch the transformation happen,
- 1:27:32Speaker 3: and you were a major part of that.
- 1:27:35Speaker 23: You know, when I was elected to the State Senate
- 1:27:38Speaker 23: four years ago, I campaigned on doing something about crime.
- 1:27:41Speaker 23: And you know, the starting point was to just raise
- 1:27:46Speaker 23: as much hell as I could possibly raise until someone
- 1:27:50Speaker 23: that could do something about it took notice. I said
- 1:27:53Speaker 23: then that the crime problem in the Memphis was so
- 1:27:56Speaker 23: large that the locals were incapable of solving it. And
- 1:27:59Speaker 23: it was Senator Blackburn and Senator Haggerty and Governor Lee
- 1:28:04Speaker 23: who took notice of me raising ten kinds of hell
- 1:28:07Speaker 23: to finally see what they could do. Governor Lee sent
- 1:28:10Speaker 23: the state troopers down here. That was the beginning. Senator
- 1:28:13Speaker 23: Blackburn got cash, Patil when he was being before the
- 1:28:16Speaker 23: Senate being confirmed to commit to do something about Memphis.
- 1:28:20Speaker 23: They sent Operation Viper, which was the precursor to the
- 1:28:23Speaker 23: Memphis Safe Task Force and Todd, as you know, they
- 1:28:25Speaker 23: have literally cut crime in half. And when the President
- 1:28:28Speaker 23: called me to endorse my campaign for Congress, I told
- 1:28:32Speaker 23: him I appreciated the endorsement, but I would be remiss
- 1:28:34Speaker 23: if I did not thank him for sending the Memphis
- 1:28:36Speaker 23: Safe Task Force and Todd. He went on for ten minutes.
- 1:28:40Speaker 23: He knew every one of those stats by memory. Now
- 1:28:42Speaker 23: keep in mind, he didn't know I was going to
- 1:28:43Speaker 23: bring up the Memphis Safe Task Force, but he knew
- 1:28:45Speaker 23: every one of those stats. And when I thought he
- 1:28:48Speaker 23: was done talking about Memphis, he said, let me tell
- 1:28:50Speaker 23: you about New Orleans, and he went through all the
- 1:28:51Speaker 23: stats in New Orleans and also Washington, d C. The
- 1:28:55Speaker 23: President recognized what I have done to fight crime, to
- 1:28:59Speaker 23: keep crime out of these these big cities from creeping
- 1:29:01Speaker 23: into these smaller communities, and that's one of the reasons
- 1:29:03Speaker 23: he endorsed my campaign for Congress.
- 1:29:05Speaker 3: Well, I love that again. Brent Taylor joining us this afternoon.
- 1:29:09Speaker 3: Where can people go if they want to get information
- 1:29:11Speaker 3: on your campaign.
- 1:29:12Speaker 23: Well, they can go to Brent Taylor for Congress. They
- 1:29:14Speaker 23: can follow me on social media at Brent Taylor. And
- 1:29:18Speaker 23: my birthday is August ninth. So for any of the
- 1:29:22Speaker 23: niners that are listening, if they want to get me
- 1:29:24Speaker 23: an early birthday, President won't cost them much. They can
- 1:29:27Speaker 23: go to the polls and vote for Brent Taylor for Congress.
- 1:29:30Speaker 3: I love that. And again, a Senator, this is the
- 1:29:34Speaker 3: real deal, and this is a very important, very serious election.
- 1:29:39Speaker 3: What is your message, as you had out past past
- 1:29:42Speaker 3: election day, what is your message to Justin Pearson?
- 1:29:46Speaker 23: Just what I said earlier, and that is I'm going
- 1:29:48Speaker 23: to ensure that the only way he ever sees inside
- 1:29:50Speaker 23: the United States Capital is through the visitor center on
- 1:29:52Speaker 23: a guided tour. You cannot treat law enforcement that way,
- 1:29:55Speaker 23: you cannot treat the citizens of Tennessee, nor can you
- 1:29:58Speaker 23: treat niners that way. And I'm going to do everything
- 1:30:02Speaker 23: I can to prevent him from becoming elected. I'm going
- 1:30:04Speaker 23: to take the fight to him and to ensure that
- 1:30:08Speaker 23: President Trump's last two years in office are productive and
- 1:30:12Speaker 23: he can finish implementing the America First agenda, because if
- 1:30:16Speaker 23: we don't, if Democrats keep control of the House. They
- 1:30:19Speaker 23: will impeach him and he will not be able to
- 1:30:23Speaker 23: implement his America First agenda. And I want to go
- 1:30:26Speaker 23: to DC to be that impeachment insurance to protect the
- 1:30:31Speaker 23: President and his ability to get things done in the
- 1:30:33Speaker 23: last two years of his term.
- 1:30:34Speaker 3: All right, Tennessee.
- 1:30:35Speaker 23: Yeah, Look, I want to give you your very own
- 1:30:37Speaker 23: coonskin cap two point zero.
- 1:30:39Speaker 3: Ye, you can wear with pride? Are you kidding? Miss
- 1:30:42Speaker 3: that's your very own Well. I love this, ladies and gentlemen.
- 1:30:46Speaker 3: I've just been given a coon skin baseball cap. And
- 1:30:50Speaker 3: you know the nice thing about this, there's not like
- 1:30:52Speaker 3: a raccoon tail on the back of it like Davy Crockett.
- 1:30:56Speaker 3: And I'm sure the raccoons of Tennessee greatly appreciate that.
- 1:30:59Speaker 23: It's the state, so we had we had to limit it.
- 1:31:02Speaker 3: I understand, I understand. And Congressman, or rather a senator,
- 1:31:08Speaker 3: I want to give you a copy. You're going to
- 1:31:10Speaker 3: get the first autographed copy of the Golden Age how
- 1:31:13Speaker 3: Trump saved America and how he saved Memphis, Tennessee.
- 1:31:16Speaker 23: Thank you so much.
- 1:31:17Speaker 3: All right, thank you, senator. All right, kind of take
- 1:31:19Speaker 3: a break. We'll be right back, all right. I think
- 1:31:31Speaker 3: this is the coolest ball camp I've ever gotten a
- 1:31:34Speaker 3: coonskin ball camp. Thank you, Senator Brent Taylor, soon to
- 1:31:39Speaker 3: be Congressman Brent Taylor. That's exciting. All right, we've got
- 1:31:44Speaker 3: to play something for you the world.
- 1:31:47Speaker 13: What is it?
- 1:31:47Speaker 3: The very first women's world professional baseball whatever just launched
- 1:31:53Speaker 3: over the weekend, and I this is well, let's just
- 1:31:57Speaker 3: go ahead and rip the band aid off.

- 1:32:55Speaker 3: mean they should have had her, either her or the
- 1:32:59Speaker 3: the cow girls in their hats and fringe, singing one
- 1:33:04Speaker 3: or the other, not both. But a lot of people
- 1:33:07Speaker 3: are singing what the heck happened? They're at the first
- 1:33:12Speaker 3: women's professional baseball league game. Jess A Loo, Martha Reeves.
- 1:33:21Speaker 3: My goodness. All right, gotta take a you gotta take
- 1:33:24Speaker 3: a break. We'll be right back. All right, real quick,
- 1:33:41Speaker 3: let's go to the phones. Rodney in Houston, Texas listening
- 1:33:45Speaker 3: to us today, Rodney, what's on your mind?
- 1:33:48Speaker 5: God, how are you?
- 1:33:49Speaker 3: I'm well? Thank you for asking.
- 1:33:51Speaker 8: Hey.
- 1:33:52Speaker 15: I have this quick little scenario to give you. A doctor,
- 1:33:56Speaker 15: uh is called a doctor out of a show of respect,
- 1:33:59Speaker 15: like we call a president. It's the president. I show
- 1:34:01Speaker 15: a respect doctor fauci. We don't respect this guy. This
- 1:34:06Speaker 15: guy is now a doctor. He doesn't help people. He
- 1:34:09Speaker 15: genocides people. And I just was wondering if we could
- 1:34:14Speaker 15: maybe heal. On the Todd Starnes Show, began to call
- 1:34:18Speaker 15: him by his first name or just his name and
- 1:34:21Speaker 15: take the doctor away because we certainly don't have any
- 1:34:23Speaker 15: respect for him.
- 1:34:25Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:34:25Speaker 3: I don't necessarily have a problem with that at all.
- 1:34:29Speaker 3: I mean, he is, in fact a doctor. That's what
- 1:34:31Speaker 3: he that's what he studied in school, went to Cornell's.
- 1:34:34Speaker 3: So but yeah, I have absolutely no respect whatsoever for him,
- 1:34:39Speaker 3: and quite frankly, he belongs in jail for the rest
- 1:34:42Speaker 3: of his life. Rodney, thank you for that call. We
- 1:34:45Speaker 3: really do appreciate it.
- 1:34:47Speaker 6: Well, Doctor Anthony Fauci on behalf of doctor Anthony Fauci.
- 1:34:53Speaker 19: My fellow COVID survivors. On advice of counsel, I decided
- 1:34:59Speaker 19: to write a children's book to improve my public image.
- 1:35:03Speaker 19: It's the story of Hansel and Gretel, as told from
- 1:35:07Speaker 19: the point of view of the witch named Vucina.
- 1:35:13Speaker 20: Kids will be surprised to find out she's really not
- 1:35:17Speaker 20: such a bad person. She just needs to eat children
- 1:35:21Speaker 20: from time to time to develop new spells to help
- 1:35:25Speaker 20: other kids and advance her scientific career.
- 1:35:32Speaker 6: The Story of Hansel and Gretel like you've never imagined
- 1:35:35Speaker 6: it before, Written by Anthony Fanci's attorneys and illustrated by
- 1:35:40Speaker 6: Kanye West.
- 1:35:42Speaker 4: Two stook my cook quayons buy my book instead of
- 1:35:47Speaker 4: Todd Stean's book because his is full of COVID.
- 1:35:55Speaker 19: Well it is now.
- 1:35:57Speaker 3: Okay, I do not endorse this message. I want to
- 1:36:00Speaker 3: go right away to our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. We're
- 1:36:04Speaker 3: excited to have our esteem panel. Steve Gill, publisher of
- 1:36:07Speaker 3: TriStar Daily News and Harry Hurley, host of Hurley in
- 1:36:11Speaker 3: the Morning WPG Radio. Steve Gil, I wonder I really
- 1:36:16Speaker 3: do question if that really was doctor Fauci there.
- 1:36:21Speaker 16: Well, and as a doctor of jurisprudence, time, I insist
- 1:36:26Speaker 16: you call me doctor. I mean, if you can apply
- 1:36:27Speaker 16: to doctor Jill Biden and doctor Fauci, I mean, under
- 1:36:32Speaker 16: the hippocratic oath, they should be jerking his medical license today.
- 1:36:37Speaker 16: Do no harm is the guidance, and I don't think
- 1:36:39Speaker 16: anybody could argue he didn't do immeasurable harm.
- 1:36:42Speaker 3: No, that's really a great point. Guys. We have a
- 1:36:46Speaker 3: lot of news to cover, a lot of ground to cover,
- 1:36:49Speaker 3: and I'm very curious to hear your thoughts on what
- 1:36:51Speaker 3: happened over the weekend. We know President Trump decided to
- 1:36:54Speaker 3: pull back from the what would have been the strongest
- 1:36:58Speaker 3: attack on country since World War Two. The President did
- 1:37:03Speaker 3: that at the request of the Iranians. Now the president
- 1:37:07Speaker 3: is accusing Iran of deceiving the United States. Harry, I mean,
- 1:37:12Speaker 3: you used to work for President Trump. I think a
- 1:37:14Speaker 3: lot of people who love our president are really frustrated
- 1:37:18Speaker 3: right now at this on again, off again thing with Iran.
- 1:37:23Speaker 24: Fair point, Todd, great to be on your show, wonderful
- 1:37:26Speaker 24: to be with Steve. Love your work.
- 1:37:27Speaker 2: Both of you.
- 1:37:30Speaker 24: Don't lose I know you haven't. But to everyone watching
- 1:37:32Speaker 24: the Todd starn Show and listening, don't lose faith. The
- 1:37:36Speaker 24: President was ready to go. It would have been shock
- 1:37:38Speaker 24: and all. It would have been the biggest shebang since
- 1:37:42Speaker 24: World War Two. But not only did Iran ask him
- 1:37:46Speaker 24: to please stop because we want to make a deal.
- 1:37:49Speaker 24: But you know, they can't be believed for fifty years.
- 1:37:51Speaker 24: That's how they get away with this on and again,
- 1:37:53Speaker 24: off again. But also the Saudi's also asked us not
- 1:37:58Speaker 24: to do it, so we were respecting the neighbors. Iron's
- 1:38:01Speaker 24: been hitting them hard. President Trump's ready to go if
- 1:38:05Speaker 24: it has to be. He doesn't want to take out
- 1:38:07Speaker 24: all their bridges, he doesn't want to take out their
- 1:38:09Speaker 24: electrical grid, all their roads, kill innocent people. So I'm
- 1:38:14Speaker 24: fine with him taking a little bit more time. And
- 1:38:18Speaker 24: he's not afraid. He's already shown with the massive exercises
- 1:38:22Speaker 24: that we've done he's not afraid to do it. He
- 1:38:25Speaker 24: just would prefer not to.
- 1:38:27Speaker 3: Steve, I'm curious to hear your thoughts on that. When
- 1:38:29Speaker 3: when you tie in that part of the story. What
- 1:38:33Speaker 3: Mark Wayne Mullen said to the National Governors Association that
- 1:38:36Speaker 3: has pretty much all of Magiworld in an uproar over
- 1:38:39Speaker 3: over deportations. Whether or not we're really going to be
- 1:38:42Speaker 3: serious about that, It's just it seems like we're in
- 1:38:46Speaker 3: a weird spot right now. My concern is any of
- 1:38:49Speaker 3: this doesn't have the potential to hurt the midterm elections.
- 1:38:54Speaker 16: Absolutely, and again it's great to be back with you
- 1:38:57Speaker 16: and with Harry. Yeah, I think the talk time is over.
- 1:39:00Speaker 16: It's due time. And I think it's whether it's the
- 1:39:04Speaker 16: deportation of the millions of illegals that are continuing to
- 1:39:07Speaker 16: affect our affordability, the housing costs, the rental cost, the
- 1:39:11Speaker 16: cost of car insurance, the impact on jobs that are
- 1:39:14Speaker 16: being taken by illegals, the burden on taxpayers of money
- 1:39:18Speaker 16: going into their pockets rather than to benefit America. Quit
- 1:39:22Speaker 16: talking and start doing when it comes to these massive deportations.
- 1:39:26Speaker 16: And with respect to Harry, I would argue that the
- 1:39:29Speaker 16: time for doing in Iran has come as well. They
- 1:39:31Speaker 16: are going to play the rope of dope as long
- 1:39:33Speaker 16: as we let them, and if we take out their
- 1:39:36Speaker 16: power structure, they may still hate us, but they can
- 1:39:40Speaker 16: hate us by candlelight.
- 1:39:42Speaker 3: Harry, when you look at the midterms and Steve We're
- 1:39:44Speaker 3: going to get you to wait on what's about to
- 1:39:46Speaker 3: happen in Tennessee. On Thursday. We just had State Senator
- 1:39:50Speaker 3: Brent Taylor joining us, who is more than likely going
- 1:39:52Speaker 3: to be the next congressman from Tennessee, which will be
- 1:39:55Speaker 3: a pickup for Republicans. Harry, you're looking at I'm just
- 1:40:01Speaker 3: going to go down the list here that was put
- 1:40:02Speaker 3: together by a guy named bad Ombre on X looking
- 1:40:06Speaker 3: at the Democrat lineup. A diagnosed bipolar Asian chick with
- 1:40:11Speaker 3: a history of self harm who's been institutionalized in a
- 1:40:14Speaker 3: psychiatric ward and wants to get rid of Thanksgiving. A
- 1:40:17Speaker 3: guy who plays with a doctor Fauci Dahl, proclaims his
- 1:40:21Speaker 3: love for trans kids and met his girlfriend at a
- 1:40:23Speaker 3: gay bar. A guy who dresses up as a mechanic
- 1:40:26Speaker 3: for fund married his cousin and knocked her up twice.
- 1:40:30Speaker 3: And a guy who frequents events where participants get peed
- 1:40:33Speaker 3: on in a kiddie pool while wearing buttless chaps. Those
- 1:40:39Speaker 3: are just some of the folks that are starring on
- 1:40:42Speaker 3: the Democrat side of the aisle.
- 1:40:44Speaker 24: And Justice Grotesque Lsied says he's a capitalist, so look out,
- 1:40:51Speaker 24: ye look the Democrat Party right now is a freak show.
- 1:40:56Speaker 24: They're completely in a civil war with one another. We
- 1:41:00Speaker 24: should love it because we can't get out of our
- 1:41:03Speaker 24: own way right now. By the way I gave analysis,
- 1:41:06Speaker 24: I totally agree Todd with you and with Steve. All
- 1:41:10Speaker 24: of this is terrible for the midterm election. The only
- 1:41:13Speaker 24: thing that can save us right now. The redistricting is
- 1:41:17Speaker 24: going to be huge because it brings in all kinds
- 1:41:19Speaker 24: of seats that were lost. And also these socialist candidates,
- 1:41:23Speaker 24: these horrible communist candidates on the Democrat side. Republicans might
- 1:41:28Speaker 24: actually keep the House and keep the Senate basically because
- 1:41:33Speaker 24: of the Democrat civil war more than anything.
- 1:41:36Speaker 3: Steve, what's going on in Tennessee. You've got big congressional races,
- 1:41:40Speaker 3: but I think a lot of attentions being focused on
- 1:41:42Speaker 3: the governor's race. President Trump did not endorse in this race,
- 1:41:47Speaker 3: which was a little unusual. He said he liked Marshall
- 1:41:50Speaker 3: Blackburn and John Rose. The polling data coming out shows
- 1:41:57Speaker 3: so's Blackburn with a slim lead. But the shocking thing is,
- 1:42:01Speaker 3: at one point, I think she was leading by what
- 1:42:03Speaker 3: fifty or sixty points over the other two contenders. What's
- 1:42:08Speaker 3: going on there?
- 1:42:10Speaker 5: First?
- 1:42:10Speaker 16: Of all, let me talk about the national I think
- 1:42:12Speaker 16: you and I and Harry pointed out for a long
- 1:42:14Speaker 16: time that liberalism is a mental disorder. They seem absolutely
- 1:42:18Speaker 16: committed to proving it this election cycle with the candidates
- 1:42:22Speaker 16: they're putting forth for governor and the Senate. You know,
- 1:42:24Speaker 16: Tennessee is a lot more saying until you look over
- 1:42:27Speaker 16: onto the liberal Democrats side of the island. They've got
- 1:42:30Speaker 16: some of their crackpots that are running here as well.
- 1:42:32Speaker 16: But as you point out, the governor's race has all
- 1:42:35Speaker 16: the attention with John Rose and Marshall Blackburn, I think
- 1:42:38Speaker 16: in a close race at this point. One of the
- 1:42:41Speaker 16: things that tells me it's closer than what the Blackburn
- 1:42:44Speaker 16: team are saying is she and her allies, many of
- 1:42:47Speaker 16: whom are funding their attack ads on John Rose, with
- 1:42:50Speaker 16: money she transferred from her Senate coffers into their coffers
- 1:42:54Speaker 16: to attack John Rose. The fact that they're attacking with
- 1:42:57Speaker 16: these brutal and in many cases grossly misrepresented attack ads
- 1:43:01Speaker 16: on John Rose. You're not doing that if you got
- 1:43:04Speaker 16: a fifteen point lead with three days to go.
- 1:43:06Speaker 3: No, you don't. And Harry again, a big story this
- 1:43:11Speaker 3: dropping This just posted on the House Judiciary. The New
- 1:43:15Speaker 3: Jersey government is under congressional investigation after these explosive revelations
- 1:43:21Speaker 3: on non citizen voters. I know that the governor seemed
- 1:43:25Speaker 3: to blame this as a quirk in the voting system.
- 1:43:29Speaker 3: The folks behind the voting system said, nope, not us.
- 1:43:32Speaker 3: And I think now a lot of people are wondering
- 1:43:35Speaker 3: exactly how many non citizens really have been voting in
- 1:43:39Speaker 3: your elections there, Harry.
- 1:43:41Speaker 24: Tod As you know, I think Steve knows. I've covered
- 1:43:43Speaker 24: this very very closely. If it was sixty six hundred
- 1:43:47Speaker 24: that were registered and about four hundred that voted, and
- 1:43:51Speaker 24: they admit that number, you know, it's more the fact
- 1:43:54Speaker 24: that they wouldn't turn over the records to the Department
- 1:43:57Speaker 24: of Justice. This bogus thing we're going to get personal information.
- 1:44:03Speaker 24: This just in into my esteem, Governor, The Department of
- 1:44:10Speaker 24: Justice and the IRS and many arms of government already
- 1:44:14Speaker 24: know our social Security numbers and a whole lot of
- 1:44:16Speaker 24: personal information on us. It's got to be more because
- 1:44:20Speaker 24: they're willing to say it's that many.
- 1:44:24Speaker 3: Harry, I want to follow I want to follow up
- 1:44:27Speaker 3: on that. Any rumblings right now in the state over
- 1:44:31Speaker 3: elections that might have been influenced or impacted as a
- 1:44:34Speaker 3: result of these numbers.
- 1:44:36Speaker 24: State senator who I know very very well that I
- 1:44:38Speaker 24: believe has been on your show. He's absolutely been on Newsmax.
- 1:44:41Speaker 24: Senator Michael Testa has called for an investigation over a
- 1:44:45Speaker 24: race that was decided by forty nine votes. New Jersey's
- 1:44:49Speaker 24: notorious for these close landslides, So who knows. And again,
- 1:44:53Speaker 24: I'm not going with only four hundred voted. I believe
- 1:44:57Speaker 24: it's much more. If that's all there was, they would
- 1:44:59Speaker 24: have said, Hey, here's all the records, come and get them.
- 1:45:02Speaker 24: It's got to be more. It's I'm not usually one
- 1:45:05Speaker 24: to throw out accusations without proof, but just the fact
- 1:45:09Speaker 24: they're willing to admit sixty six hundred people in that
- 1:45:13Speaker 24: one or two year election cycle were registered and that
- 1:45:16Speaker 24: about four hundred voted. Hey, give us the numbers. Let
- 1:45:21Speaker 24: us all see. If it's only that many, it's still
- 1:45:23Speaker 24: not good. But yeah, Todd, I think anybody that lost
- 1:45:28Speaker 24: a reasonably close election, and maybe even Jack Chinarelli, he
- 1:45:33Speaker 24: can't get back the race he lost. It was very
- 1:45:35Speaker 24: very close to Governor Murphy, who's a good friend of mine.
- 1:45:38Speaker 24: But still both of them are good friends of mine,
- 1:45:40Speaker 24: but still he lost by a very scant few and
- 1:45:45Speaker 24: that was right around the time that this stuff was
- 1:45:47Speaker 24: allegedly going on.
- 1:45:49Speaker 3: Harry Hurley from WPG Radio joining us also Steve Gill
- 1:45:54Speaker 3: from Tristardaily dot com. Yes, Steve, did you want to
- 1:45:56Speaker 3: weigh in there?
- 1:45:58Speaker 16: Yeah, let me let me just end what you've been
- 1:46:00Speaker 16: doing to the fact. You know, it's not just the
- 1:46:02Speaker 16: illegal aliens that are voting. It is, as you've been
- 1:46:05Speaker 16: pointing out Todd in Memphis, the Black churches are being
- 1:46:08Speaker 16: the most political they ever have been, talking about campaigns,
- 1:46:12Speaker 16: promoting candidates from their pulpits. And yet when a white
- 1:46:15Speaker 16: Christian Baptist pastor in Chattanooga does something similar, the media
- 1:46:20Speaker 16: is going completely ape over it. So we've got to
- 1:46:23Speaker 16: get a better handle on making sure we turn out
- 1:46:26Speaker 16: our base vote. Because whether it's Muslim vote Day or
- 1:46:29Speaker 16: whether it's the Black churches turning out their base, they're
- 1:46:33Speaker 16: just playing by their set of rules. We got to
- 1:46:35Speaker 16: play by the same set of rules. And every election cycle,
- 1:46:38Speaker 16: seventeen million Christian evangelicals voluntarily stay home, They stay on
- 1:46:44Speaker 16: their assets rather than turning out to the polls. And
- 1:46:47Speaker 16: we've got to move people from the pews to the polls,
- 1:46:49Speaker 16: and pastors need to be saying, pray, discern, and vote,
- 1:46:54Speaker 16: even if they don't promote a particular candidate. We've got
- 1:46:56Speaker 16: to turn out our base because the other side certainly is.
- 1:47:00Speaker 3: Yeah to that point, guys, there's a fellow by the
- 1:47:02Speaker 3: name of Justin Johnson, one of the great conservative politicos.
- 1:47:07Speaker 3: He sent out these numbers. This is just early voting
- 1:47:10Speaker 3: on one day. This was Saturday, the last day of
- 1:47:12Speaker 3: early voting. Over eight over eighty three hundred Democrats turned
- 1:47:17Speaker 3: out to vote in Memphis. Only twenty nine hundred Republicans
- 1:47:22Speaker 3: got out to vote. What was driving the Democrat vote, well,
- 1:47:26Speaker 3: we know it was being promoted as Muslim voting Day.
- 1:47:30Speaker 3: So all of the mosques in the Memphis area were organizing.
- 1:47:35Speaker 3: They were renting buses to get their voters to the
- 1:47:38Speaker 3: polls on Saturday. The black churches in Memphis were also mobilized.
- 1:47:45Speaker 3: And we know that because candidates were thanking the pastors
- 1:47:48Speaker 3: for coming out and endorsing them and getting and really
- 1:47:52Speaker 3: opening up their sanctuaries and turning them into campaign headquarters.
- 1:47:57Speaker 3: And Harry, you do wonder here or if the you know,
- 1:48:02Speaker 3: if the white churches, if the more conservative churches, if
- 1:48:05Speaker 3: they're missing something here by disengaging intentionally from the political fight.
- 1:48:12Speaker 24: Well, you and Steve are both right about this point.
- 1:48:15Speaker 24: And what's happening is one set of the churches are
- 1:48:21Speaker 24: maximizing election opportunities from the pulpit. The other side is
- 1:48:25Speaker 24: playing by the rules and knowing that, hey, are you know,
- 1:48:29Speaker 24: not for profit status can be taken away just like that.
- 1:48:32Speaker 24: So we don't want to do that. What we have
- 1:48:34Speaker 24: to make sure New Jersey is getting better in this
- 1:48:37Speaker 24: regard although we got creamed Republicans in the last general
- 1:48:41Speaker 24: election cycle. We've got to get very aggressive in the
- 1:48:44Speaker 24: early voting. This notion that we all vote on election day. Hey,
- 1:48:48Speaker 24: election day can go sideways. The weather can be terrible,
- 1:48:51Speaker 24: somebody can get sick. Democrats, whether some of it is crooked,
- 1:48:55Speaker 24: and I'm sure it is, they are owning the early voting,
- 1:48:59Speaker 24: and many Republicans crush it on election day and think
- 1:49:03Speaker 24: they're gonna win, and then these early votes get counted
- 1:49:06Speaker 24: and they get beat. So we have to get aggressive
- 1:49:09Speaker 24: in the early voting, and we do.
- 1:49:12Speaker 2: Steve is right.
- 1:49:13Speaker 24: We have to find a way without people losing their
- 1:49:16Speaker 24: nonprofit status of competing with what the other side is doing.
- 1:49:20Speaker 3: Guys, we're gonna have to leave it there. They're hollering
- 1:49:23Speaker 3: at me to take a break. But we always appreciate
- 1:49:25Speaker 3: your great take on things, fellas Harry Hurley from WPG Radio,
- 1:49:30Speaker 3: Atlantic City, New Jersey, and Steve Gill, publisher of the
- 1:49:33Speaker 3: Tri Star Daily News, great political website for those of
- 1:49:37Speaker 3: you living in Tennessee. All right, guys, great to see you, folks.
- 1:49:42Speaker 3: We got to take a break. We'll be right back,
- 1:49:54Speaker 3: all right. I am just really concerned here, folks, And
- 1:49:57Speaker 3: maybe we'll try to pick this up on to Borrow's show.
- 1:50:01Speaker 3: But I'm just really concerned about the situation that's unfolding
- 1:50:05Speaker 3: right now in New York City. The communist Muslim mayor
- 1:50:09Speaker 3: from Uganda zoron Memdami, announcing that all New Yorkers will
- 1:50:14Speaker 3: be required to provide some form of identification to be
- 1:50:18Speaker 3: able to get inside the government owned grocery stores. And
- 1:50:22Speaker 3: the reason why they're doing a photo ID is because
- 1:50:27Speaker 3: they're afraid people from other areas, like, for example, Long Island,
- 1:50:31Speaker 3: they might drive into the city hoping to get that
- 1:50:34Speaker 3: thirty percent discount that all of the city dwellers are getting.
- 1:50:39Speaker 3: There at the government run grocery stores. And of course
- 1:50:43Speaker 3: that makes a lot of sense, right, you want strong
- 1:50:45Speaker 3: borders security, I suppose, so that folks from other towns
- 1:50:50Speaker 3: do not show up. But my concern here again, it's
- 1:50:55Speaker 3: for the It's for the newly married women, the new weds,
- 1:51:00Speaker 3: the brides who we know, because the Democrats tell us
- 1:51:04Speaker 3: they cannot find a form of idea, that it's very
- 1:51:06Speaker 3: difficult for a newlywed to find an ID, to obtain
- 1:51:11Speaker 3: an ID. And of course all of the black shoppers
- 1:51:14Speaker 3: they don't have access to xerox machines where they may
- 1:51:18Speaker 3: or fax machines, so they're not going to be able
- 1:51:21Speaker 3: to have any IDs either. I mean, it really is.
- 1:51:26Speaker 3: You hate to go down this path, but it's well,
- 1:51:31Speaker 3: it's no idea, no part of Parker Helen. I don't
- 1:51:34Speaker 3: want to say the word that. Yeah, no, I know, No,
- 1:51:37Speaker 3: it's not Jim Jim Crow two point zero. It's flat
- 1:51:40Speaker 3: out hypocrisy. Cheese Alo America. Unbelievable. All right, been a
