- 0:10Speaker 1: All live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
- 0:13Speaker 1: It's America's favorite gun, total bible clinging, deplorable American.
- 0:18Speaker 2: That's this American.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Todd starts, well.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Hello, everybody, Welcome to the Todd Sterns Radio. So today's
- 0:32Speaker 2: just it's a weird, odd day in the news, and
- 0:37Speaker 2: a lot of weird stuff happening as well, and sort
- 0:42Speaker 2: of a don't know what's the word, A hodgepodge of stories,
- 0:47Speaker 2: if you will. So look last night that all you
- 0:50Speaker 2: know what proclues when the Trump administration announced that they
- 0:55Speaker 2: were going to stop stop funding a Catholic Charities prog
- 1:00Speaker 2: and at first I thought, okay, well, what's this all about.
- 1:04Speaker 2: And the media is framing it that this charity is
- 1:08Speaker 2: for illegal alien children in Miami, and the administration canceling
- 1:15Speaker 2: an eleven million dollar federal contract that helps to shelter
- 1:19Speaker 2: and care for illegal alien children who enter the United
- 1:23Speaker 2: States without a parent or a legal guardian. And now
- 1:31Speaker 2: according to the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami,
- 1:35Speaker 2: they may just have to shut down the program altogether.
- 1:38Speaker 2: They've been they've been doing this for some sixty years
- 1:42Speaker 2: and church officials say. This is from CBS News reporting.
- 1:46Speaker 2: CBS News reports that church officials say the sudden laws
- 1:50Speaker 2: could force the organization to end its operation tied to
- 1:54Speaker 2: migrant children within the next three months. Now they're trying
- 1:59Speaker 2: to frame all of that, says President Trump is doing
- 2:01Speaker 2: it to get back at Pope Leo the Woke, who
- 2:05Speaker 2: is the first American pontiff, and of course they've been
- 2:08Speaker 2: embroiled in some sort of an unholy war. Ultimately, I
- 2:14Speaker 2: don't think this has anything to do with it. According
- 2:17Speaker 2: to one of the Catholic leaders, they feel very sad
- 2:20Speaker 2: and disappointed and the children that they have helped for
- 2:24Speaker 2: so many years. They say it is unacceptable, totally unacceptable,
- 2:29Speaker 2: and other Catholics in and around Miami are feeling the
- 2:32Speaker 2: exact same way.
- 2:34Speaker 3: Now.
- 2:34Speaker 2: According to Miami Herald, there is they've had historical success
- 2:39Speaker 2: with government partnerships with Catholic charities, referencing Operation Pedro Pan,
- 2:46Speaker 2: which brought thousands Is that a Peter Pan? Is that
- 2:48Speaker 2: the Mexican Peter Pant? Sorry, I don't know anyway that
- 2:54Speaker 2: brought thousands of human children to the United States of
- 2:58Speaker 2: the nineteen sixties. So I'm reading this and I'm wait
- 3:07Speaker 2: a second, eleven million dollars. We're giving Catholic charities eleven
- 3:10Speaker 2: million dollars of our tax money. Why are we doing that?
- 3:15Speaker 2: And I started doing some more research, and I discovered
- 3:19Speaker 2: it's not just eleven million dollars. That's eleven million dollars
- 3:22Speaker 2: for Miami. When it's all said and done, when you're
- 3:24Speaker 2: adding up all of the money, and this is just
- 3:26Speaker 2: for Catholic charities, we are giving the Catholic Church taxpayers.
- 3:32Speaker 2: The government, the United States government, is giving our tax
- 3:37Speaker 2: money to the Catholics to the tune of one point
- 3:40Speaker 2: two billion dollars, Ladies and gentlemen, Now, before the hate
- 3:47Speaker 2: mail starts starts coming in, and before you got if
- 3:52Speaker 2: you want to light up the vones here and read
- 3:54Speaker 2: me the Riot Act, I'm ready. I am loaded for
- 3:57Speaker 2: bear today because I've got a big problem with our
- 4:01Speaker 2: tax money going to the Catholic Church. And I'm gonna
- 4:05Speaker 2: say something else. I got a big problem with our
- 4:08Speaker 2: tax money going to the Baptist Church and the Methodist Church,
- 4:11Speaker 2: and the Presbyterian Church, and the Lutherans and everybody else. Yeah,
- 4:17Speaker 2: the Jewish, Yes, Jewish synagogues too. If they're getting tax money,
- 4:21Speaker 2: why Why are we giving a single penny of our
- 4:23Speaker 2: tax money to a church or to a religious organization?
- 4:26Speaker 2: Why are we doing that? And the way I see it,
- 4:29Speaker 2: if and and I know, I know, you're just a
- 4:33Speaker 2: big meanie. You hate children. I bet you hate puppies.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Two starns. You want to kill the puppies. No, I
- 4:39Speaker 2: don't want to kill the puppies. I don't want to
- 4:41Speaker 2: kill anybody. I just don't want my tax money being
- 4:45Speaker 2: used by a church. Look, I have a lot of
- 4:48Speaker 2: Catholic friends. There are some people in my family who
- 4:50Speaker 2: are Catholic. But I happen to be a Baptist, and
- 4:53Speaker 2: I got a problem with the Baptist getting any money.
- 4:55Speaker 2: And by the way, the Baptist are getting money out
- 4:57Speaker 2: of Texas to bring in all these illegal aliens. As
- 5:01Speaker 2: a matter of fact, folks, one of the biggest offenders
- 5:05Speaker 2: when it comes to trafficking people into the United States,
- 5:09Speaker 2: it's coming from these religious groups. Now, if you want
- 5:13Speaker 2: to talk about separation of church and state, which is
- 5:15Speaker 2: not a real thing, but if you if you want
- 5:18Speaker 2: to have that conversation, this is the time to have
- 5:21Speaker 2: that conversation, because the government has no business giving my
- 5:25Speaker 2: tax money to any religious organization, and I think that
- 5:31Speaker 2: truly crosses a line here. Now let's just say, I'm
- 5:35Speaker 2: just gonna we'll take the reverse approach here. Let's say
- 5:38Speaker 2: you're a Catholic and you find out that the government's
- 5:42Speaker 2: giving one point two billion dollars of your tax money
- 5:45Speaker 2: to the Southern Baptist Convention. Now, as a Catholic, Catholics
- 5:50Speaker 2: and Baptists do not agree theologically. There are major theological differences,
- 5:56Speaker 2: and in some parts of the country there is open
- 6:00Speaker 2: hostility between the Catholics and the Baptist How would you
- 6:03Speaker 2: feel as a Catholic if you found out your money
- 6:06Speaker 2: was being used to fund the Baptist Church. And for
- 6:10Speaker 2: that matter, maybe, just maybe, if the Catholics, and if
- 6:14Speaker 2: the Catholics are poor mouthing here, well, maybe they ought
- 6:17Speaker 2: to consider selling I don't know, Vatican City. Maybe they
- 6:20Speaker 2: ought to start selling all of that high dollar art
- 6:23Speaker 2: work they've got again, if they're you know, if they're
- 6:25Speaker 2: stretched for cash. But right now, I mean, if you're
- 6:29Speaker 2: looking at a state religion in America, I mean the UK,
- 6:33Speaker 2: they've got the Church of England. It looks like the
- 6:35Speaker 2: United States, the state church is the Catholic Church. One
- 6:40Speaker 2: point two billion dollars, folks. Could you imagine, And again
- 6:45Speaker 2: we're talking about all of the grift and all of
- 6:48Speaker 2: the waste, but DoD it's going to feed people. Yet
- 6:52Speaker 2: that is the role of the church. So again, it
- 6:58Speaker 2: seems to me that if the good Catholics down in Miami,
- 7:01Speaker 2: and they have no doubt, these are good hearted people,
- 7:03Speaker 2: I've got no doubt about that, But if they want
- 7:07Speaker 2: to help all these illegal alien children, they need to
- 7:09Speaker 2: do that out of their own charity. Because when you're
- 7:13Speaker 2: literally taking money away from the taxpayers and giving it
- 7:16Speaker 2: to the churches, that is not charity. That is stealing.
- 7:20Speaker 2: That is theft. So I'm trying to understand all of it.
- 7:26Speaker 2: It's the craziest thing I've heard. So I would say
- 7:30Speaker 2: good for good for President Trump and the Trump administration
- 7:34Speaker 2: for doing this, But honestly, there's a lot more. As
- 7:37Speaker 2: a matter of fact, did you know the US Council
- 7:40Speaker 2: on Bishops, the US Council on Catholic Bishops, they're getting
- 7:46Speaker 2: upwards of one hundred million dollars of your tax money.
- 7:50Speaker 2: Are you okay with that? Gentlemen? Are you okay with
- 7:53Speaker 2: your tax money being used to fund all these charities
- 7:58Speaker 2: of the churches. And by the way, here's what gets me.
- 8:01Speaker 2: I mean, you're sitting in a church and you know
- 8:03Speaker 2: the pastor's asking for money. You know, we got to
- 8:05Speaker 2: pay the bills. You what are you guys doing with
- 8:09Speaker 2: all that money you're getting from the government. That's what
- 8:11Speaker 2: I want to know. I mean, if the church is
- 8:16Speaker 2: having if the church is struggling, then that tells me
- 8:19Speaker 2: there is a spiritual problem. And that's that's how you
- 8:22Speaker 2: fix that problem, not taking money from my paycheck. Nine
- 8:27Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. I'm
- 8:30Speaker 2: curious to hear your thoughts on this. Nine oh one
- 8:32Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six. People are calling
- 8:35Speaker 2: you're just mean, you're a hateful man. You're one of
- 8:39Speaker 2: those being get up my lawn. Well, no, that's not me.
- 8:44Speaker 2: I'm just saying, stop stealing my tax money, or better yet,
- 8:50Speaker 2: better yet, just let me decide what I want to
- 8:53Speaker 2: do with my own money and how I want to
- 8:55Speaker 2: support charities with my money, as opposed to saying, okay,
- 8:59Speaker 2: all of a sudden starts is now one of the
- 9:01Speaker 2: top supporters of the Roman Catholic Church. Oh, by the way,
- 9:07Speaker 2: someone just at me this The Pope Pope Leo the
- 9:12Speaker 2: Woke and he's going off. He is he's officially declared
- 9:19Speaker 2: war on President Trump. So Pope Leo's out there and
- 9:23Speaker 2: he's in Africa right now, and he's given all these speeches.
- 9:28Speaker 2: So he's quoting from the Bible. But I want you
- 9:31Speaker 2: to listen to what he says, because what he said
- 9:34Speaker 2: is not actually in the Bible. Take a listen to the.
- 9:37Speaker 4: Pope Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers, But woll
- 9:43Speaker 4: to those who manipulate religion in the very name of
- 9:46Speaker 4: God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging
- 9:52Speaker 4: that which is sacred into darkness and filth. Yes, my
- 9:58Speaker 4: dear sisters and brothers, you who hunger and thirst for justice,
- 10:04Speaker 4: who are poor, merciful.
- 10:07Speaker 5: Meek, and pure of heart, you who.
- 10:11Speaker 4: Have wept, you are the lights of the world.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not in the Bible, at least not in
- 10:19Speaker 2: the Bible we got in the Baptist hatred the good
- 10:22Speaker 2: old King James Rigon. I don't I looked. That's not
- 10:26Speaker 2: anywhere in our Bible. I don't know where the I
- 10:29Speaker 2: don't know where the Pope yanked all that out, but
- 10:32Speaker 2: it was not from the Holy Bible. So look, he's
- 10:34Speaker 2: in Nigeria, this guy, the Pope, Leo, the woke, and
- 10:38Speaker 2: he's embracing Islam. You know, he's all about, we've got
- 10:41Speaker 2: a you know, we've got to reach out and we've
- 10:44Speaker 2: got to be friends. And he said, all you people,
- 10:47Speaker 2: you the reason why you're scared of the Muslims is
- 10:49Speaker 2: you just don't know any and so you've gotta you've
- 10:52Speaker 2: really got to embrace the Islamic faith. You know what
- 10:55Speaker 2: he has not done. Do you know he is in
- 10:58Speaker 2: Nigeria right now, he's on a big tour of Africa.
- 11:01Speaker 2: You know what this pope has not done. He's got
- 11:03Speaker 2: plenty of time to condemn Donald Trump for going to
- 11:06Speaker 2: war against Iran, a country that is actively killing thousands
- 11:11Speaker 2: of Americans and others around the world, a nation that
- 11:14Speaker 2: is a one of the leading sponsors of terrorism around
- 11:18Speaker 2: the nation. He takes up, he takes a pass at
- 11:22Speaker 2: that right, he'll attack Trump. How dare you? How dare
- 11:25Speaker 2: you criticize Iran? Meanwhile, over fifty thousand Christians have been
- 11:31Speaker 2: massacred in Nigeria and not a single word of condemnation
- 11:35Speaker 2: coming from the lips of the American Pope not a one,
- 11:42Speaker 2: And I don't know if he's Maybe he doesn't know,
- 11:44Speaker 2: maybe nobody told him. By the way that stintch you smell,
- 11:47Speaker 2: those are the rotting corpses of fifty thousand Christians. Maybe
- 11:52Speaker 2: nobody told him, or maybe he just doesn't care, or
- 11:55Speaker 2: maybe he's just scared. Maybe the Pope is just maybe
- 11:58Speaker 2: the Pope can he's looking at what's happening across I
- 12:01Speaker 2: don't know, western Europe right now, and look he's looking
- 12:04Speaker 2: at what's happening in the United States of America, and
- 12:06Speaker 2: he's realizing, Oh man, we're in deep what's the Catholic
- 12:10Speaker 2: word for juju? Maybe that's maybe that's it. Maybe the
- 12:15Speaker 2: pope's just a coward, but he, for whatever reason, the
- 12:20Speaker 2: Pope will not condemn the Islamist for whatever reason, Oh,
- 12:25Speaker 2: I got a message last night. How dare you criticize
- 12:27Speaker 2: the Pope? Who do you think you are? You have
- 12:30Speaker 2: no right? He is God's emissary. Well, Pal, I'm a
- 12:36Speaker 2: Southern Baptist. When I take when I take my petitions
- 12:40Speaker 2: to God, I don't take it to a priest. I
- 12:41Speaker 2: take it directly to the foot of the cross. And
- 12:45Speaker 2: I got no beef with the Catholics. I got no
- 12:47Speaker 2: beef with anybody. I just don't want my tax dollars
- 12:50Speaker 2: being used to fund your religion. And I don't want
- 12:56Speaker 2: your tax dollars funding my religion. And for that matter,
- 12:59Speaker 2: who who do you think you are to say that
- 13:02Speaker 2: Pope Leo can can attack President Trump and yet President
- 13:05Speaker 2: Trump is not allowed to fire back? Where did that?
- 13:08Speaker 2: Where did that come from? By the way, By the way,
- 13:15Speaker 2: on this Islam thing, there's another report out And I
- 13:18Speaker 2: don't know what's going on in my home state of Tennessee,
- 13:21Speaker 2: but we got big problems. So we've got we've got
- 13:24Speaker 2: a massive We have had a massive influx of Muslims
- 13:27Speaker 2: into Tennessee and now in the Nashville area, and that's
- 13:31Speaker 2: where they're relocating most of this in the National area.
- 13:34Speaker 2: And so now we have not one, but two taxpayer
- 13:37Speaker 2: funded schools that are completely embracing Islam. They're changing the schedules,
- 13:44Speaker 2: teachers are giving kids prayer rugs, they're feeding the kids
- 13:48Speaker 2: the whatever the Islamic food is. The Nashville Banner are
- 13:52Speaker 2: now reporting that yet another school called it's a charter
- 13:55Speaker 2: school called the Valor College Prep has has an installed
- 14:00Speaker 2: a special bell that announces time for prayer. This is
- 14:03Speaker 2: a taxpayer funded school. Ladies and gentlemen, several dozen students
- 14:07Speaker 2: are allowed to leave their classrooms, gather in the gym.
- 14:10Speaker 2: Boys and girls line up in separate groups on prayer
- 14:14Speaker 2: mats provided by the school, and for fifteen minutes they pray.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Afternoon prayer for Muslim students has been part of student
- 14:22Speaker 2: life at Valor for as long as students can remember.
- 14:26Speaker 2: It's a place where Muslim students can and do feel welcomes.
- 14:30Speaker 2: And that's all well and good. But why are my
- 14:32Speaker 2: tax dollars paying for this? That's my issue here. Why
- 14:35Speaker 2: why are our tax dollars funding all of this stuff?
- 14:41Speaker 2: And let's not forget how all of this started back
- 14:45Speaker 2: in the nineteen sixties when the radicals and the atheist
- 14:49Speaker 2: they waged war to have God and Christianity removed from
- 14:54Speaker 2: the public schools. And now you can't have Nativity scenes,
- 14:59Speaker 2: the giddy are not allowed to come in, and the
- 15:02Speaker 2: gideons can't do anything. I'm just telling you, folks, wake up,
- 15:08Speaker 2: Wake up America, all right. Nine oh one two six
- 15:11Speaker 2: zero five, nine two six. That's nine oh one two
- 15:14Speaker 2: six zero five to nine two six. This is the

- 15:19Speaker 2: seconds to grab your child and run. Now imagine your elderly.
- 15:23Speaker 2: Your legs don't work like they used to. Getting downstairs
- 15:26Speaker 2: feels impossible, and after all of that, you end up
- 15:28Speaker 2: in a bomb shelter for hours, even days, because you
- 15:31Speaker 2: can't make that trek again. This is what's happening across
- 15:35Speaker 2: Israel as Operation Epic Fury continues. Children being traumatized, families
- 15:39Speaker 2: are exhausted, and homes have been destroyed. That's why the
- 15:42Speaker 2: International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is there on the ground,
- 15:46Speaker 2: bringing food, emergency equipment, care for children, and help for
- 15:50Speaker 2: the elderly, supplying bomb shelters and medical centers with critically
- 15:53Speaker 2: needed essentials. If you've ever wondered what it looks like

- 16:00Speaker 2: this is it. Please act now. Give forty five dollars
- 16:03Speaker 2: right now to rush life saving essentials to the vulnerable
- 16:07Speaker 2: underfire called Triple eight four eight eight. IFCJ that's triple
- 16:11Speaker 2: eight four eight eight if CJ, or go online IFCJ
- 16:16Speaker 2: dot org. All right, let's go right to the phonees
- 16:25Speaker 2: here nine oh one two six zero five nine two six, Houston,
- 16:28Speaker 2: Texas Patriot Talk nine twenty Steve, Steve, what's on your mind, hey, Tod.
- 16:35Speaker 6: You know, I'll hear people when when they talk about
- 16:38Speaker 6: separation at church in state, they will throw that up
- 16:42Speaker 6: every time they talk about prayer and Congress. There's the
- 16:46Speaker 6: Ten Commandments in Congress and schools. That's not what that meant.
- 16:50Speaker 6: And it's not part of the constitution, it's.
- 16:52Speaker 2: Not a law.
- 16:54Speaker 6: But where it came from was a letter that Thomas
- 16:57Speaker 6: Jefferson wrote the Dansbury Baptist Church, and it was because
- 17:01Speaker 6: some states, like Maryland, they were predominantly Catholic, you know, Maryland,
- 17:06Speaker 6: the Virgin Mary. But the Dansbury Baptist was worried that
- 17:10Speaker 6: the government that the state would sponsor one religion over another.
- 17:15Speaker 6: And Thomas Jefferson said, don't worry. There will always remain
- 17:19Speaker 6: a separation a church in state. Now, if our tax
- 17:24Speaker 6: dollars are going to finance any religion, that is clearly
- 17:29Speaker 6: what Thomas Jefferson was talking about. You know, it's government
- 17:33Speaker 6: sponsoring one religion over another. And I agree with you
- 17:36Speaker 6: one hundred percent. You know, I don't want my tax
- 17:39Speaker 6: payer money financing you know, any religion over.
- 17:44Speaker 2: Another, not at all, Steve. And and again, I have
- 17:48Speaker 2: nothing against any of those religions. But if we would
- 17:51Speaker 2: have started the show out by me saying, Okay, what
- 17:53Speaker 2: do you guys think about giving the Muslim Brotherhood one
- 17:57Speaker 2: point two billion dollars of our tax money? People would
- 18:00Speaker 2: be they would be wrecking automobiles on the on the
- 18:03Speaker 2: interstate right now. We're doing what And again it's it
- 18:07Speaker 2: has nothing to do with the religion. It's that the
- 18:08Speaker 2: government has no business doing that, right, And I.
- 18:12Speaker 6: Mean it, there's a lot of things our tax money's
- 18:16Speaker 6: going to. This I think if the American people knew,
- 18:19Speaker 6: and if they knew the Constitution, that they wouldn't agree
- 18:23Speaker 6: with it. Hopefully that stuff's going to get cleaned up.
- 18:27Speaker 2: I mean, we're all hoping for it, well said Steve.
- 18:31Speaker 2: Let's see what happens. And look, I'm glad that I'm
- 18:34Speaker 2: glad the administration is doing that, but there's a lot
- 18:37Speaker 2: of grift out there, and we just don't have the money, right.
- 18:40Speaker 2: It's one thing if we if we were overflowing with
- 18:43Speaker 2: extra cash, but we don't have the money, and we
- 18:47Speaker 2: can't be giving our government can't be giving to charity.
- 18:50Speaker 2: All right, Steve, thank you so much for that. Call.

- 22:24Speaker 10: of the windows from the Willowmobile when people are like
- 22:27Speaker 10: honking and driving by taking pictures. It's kind of like
- 22:29Speaker 10: a parade everywhere we go with the Widowmobile.
- 22:32Speaker 2: How do you not smile? I mean, you know when
- 22:34Speaker 2: you're you're driving down the interstate and all of a

- 22:50Speaker 2: Do you allow civilians to drive the Wienermobile?
- 22:56Speaker 10: So what you have to do to be able to
- 22:57Speaker 10: drive the Williamobile is actually go to a program called
- 23:00Speaker 10: hot dog High. That's once you become a hot Dogger.
- 23:03Speaker 7: Uh.
- 23:04Speaker 10: You go through this program to learn everything about the
- 23:06Speaker 10: window bill, including how to drive it.
- 23:09Speaker 2: Really is that right?
- 23:10Speaker 12: So?
- 23:10Speaker 2: Is it's does it take a lot? Are you one
- 23:12Speaker 2: of those people? Did you go through the course?
- 23:14Speaker 9: Yes?
- 23:15Speaker 8: I did.
- 23:15Speaker 10: I'm a now hot dogger, A proud hot dogger, A.
- 23:17Speaker 2: Proud hot dogger. Wow, Dylan, this is exciting. We've got
- 23:21Speaker 2: an official hot dogger on the line with us.
- 23:24Speaker 8: This is very exciting.
- 23:25Speaker 2: Isaac. I have to ask you, you know what the weather.
- 23:27Speaker 2: You guys are different cities. You're not you know, you're
- 23:30Speaker 2: not chili are you?
- 23:33Speaker 6: Oh?

- 23:36Speaker 10: I'm pretty used to the weather, you know, being.
- 23:41Speaker 7: I love it.
- 23:43Speaker 2: Have you guys been able to I don't know what
- 23:46Speaker 2: you guys do when you know, let's maybe you're taking
- 23:48Speaker 2: a break and you're sitting in the giant Wiener. Are
- 23:51Speaker 2: you guys like, do you come up with all the puns?
- 23:55Speaker 10: Yeah? I like to think that the windowbile we speak
- 23:58Speaker 10: for the windowbile, So puns tend to come naturally to
- 24:01Speaker 10: us after being on the job for a while.
- 24:04Speaker 2: And what's this. We had a lot of calls from
- 24:06Speaker 2: our listeners who apparently across the nation have been been
- 24:09Speaker 2: to the Wiener Mobile, and they say that you guys
- 24:12Speaker 2: sometimes have swag. Is that is that true? Like a
- 24:15Speaker 2: Wiener whistle?
- 24:17Speaker 10: Yeah, we do have some wienermobilia. And the most iconic
- 24:19Speaker 10: thing is the Wiener whistle. That's what you can get
- 24:21Speaker 10: every time you come out to the Windombile and see it,
- 24:24Speaker 10: or if you're at the Windomobile in person.
- 24:26Speaker 2: Oh, somebody just honked the horn. That's that's all. Now
- 24:29Speaker 2: tell Ian our intern. He can't come back unless he's
- 24:32Speaker 2: bringing swag, so you know, no pressure.
- 24:35Speaker 10: But yeah, we'll give Ian some wienamobilia before he goes.
- 24:40Speaker 9: I try to get some theme.
- 24:42Speaker 2: I love this so well. This is you know, it
- 24:44Speaker 2: really is about Americana too. I have to imagine everybody
- 24:47Speaker 2: knows Oscar Meyer Wieners.
- 24:50Speaker 10: Yeah, there's nothing more American or iconic.
- 24:53Speaker 2: This is true. Did you ever imagine? And and Isaac,
- 24:57Speaker 2: I'm wondering about the call back home, uh, to the foot,
- 25:00Speaker 2: to the family saying you're not going to believe the
- 25:02Speaker 2: job I just got.
- 25:05Speaker 10: Yeah, we were very excited to hear that I was
- 25:08Speaker 10: going to be one of the dogs to be able
- 25:10Speaker 10: to drive the waedingmobile. They were very excited and very
- 25:12Speaker 10: proud for me.
- 25:13Speaker 2: This is great. All right, Well you got to get
- 25:15Speaker 2: we gotta get a picture of Isak and so Ian.
- 25:17Speaker 2: Make sure we get a picture with you guys, and
- 25:19Speaker 2: we'll put that up on all of our socials. So
- 25:21Speaker 2: how long are you guys in the Memphis area and
- 25:23Speaker 2: where do you go from here?

- 25:56Speaker 2: wienermobile is now is if you can, Isaac, thank you
- 26:00Speaker 2: for talking. If you can get the phone back to
- 26:03Speaker 2: Ian the intern here, we need to we need to
- 26:05Speaker 2: ramp things up here with him real quick, Dylan. This
- 26:09Speaker 2: is exciting.
- 26:10Speaker 8: This is like one of the lifetime moments for all
- 26:14Speaker 8: of us.
- 26:14Speaker 2: I think it's like live radio. All right, Ian, are
- 26:17Speaker 2: you back with us now?
- 26:19Speaker 9: I am back?
- 26:20Speaker 2: All right? Do you have the Wiener whistle? Have they
- 26:22Speaker 2: given you a Wiener whistle?
- 26:25Speaker 9: I have acquired a whistle?
- 26:27Speaker 2: All right, He's acquired the I feel like we're like
- 26:30Speaker 2: in a military operation here.
- 26:32Speaker 7: All right.
- 26:32Speaker 2: We've got to hear I think we do need to
- 26:34Speaker 2: hear what the the Wiener whistle sounds like, you know
- 26:37Speaker 2: out there in the field, all right, m Is that.
- 26:46Speaker 8: It better go at that.
- 26:49Speaker 2: That's not very good. Actually, it wasn't exactly what I
- 26:54Speaker 2: expected it to be. Uh So, Ian, tell me about
- 26:57Speaker 2: the inside. Have you've been able to go inside the
- 27:00Speaker 2: Giant Wiener?
- 27:00Speaker 9: Not to go inside of the Wienermobile yet, I hope
- 27:05Speaker 9: to be able to go up there. We're gonna have
- 27:07Speaker 9: to stop about that. I'm going to try to get
- 27:09Speaker 9: a video of the inside for us.
- 27:12Speaker 2: I think that's brilliant and you've got to give us
- 27:14Speaker 2: you and we'll post all of that on social media.
- 27:17Speaker 2: Are people around? Is there a large crowd because they
- 27:19Speaker 2: have to imagine people are going to be shocked to
- 27:21Speaker 2: see a giant Wiener in that part of Emphis.
- 27:25Speaker 9: Oh yeah, we've had about four or five cars stopped
- 27:27Speaker 9: just in the time during the interview to talk about
- 27:30Speaker 9: and ask questions about it.
- 27:31Speaker 2: Okay, I love this. This is this is man. Are
- 27:34Speaker 2: they serving hot dogs there by any chance at all?
- 27:37Speaker 8: See that?
- 27:38Speaker 9: That's what I was surprised about. It turns out they
- 27:40Speaker 9: do not actually serve howk dogs at the Wienermobile.
- 27:43Speaker 2: Wait what, that's somewhat itself or maybe it's out of
- 27:51Speaker 2: respect for the Giant Wiener. All right? Uh Ian? So
- 27:57Speaker 2: what your This is like a bucket list. I'd him
- 28:00Speaker 2: for you your final thoughts here as we as we go
- 28:03Speaker 2: to break.
- 28:05Speaker 9: Well, I think a marketing genius came up with this.
- 28:08Speaker 9: I think it's a great idea and just such a
- 28:10Speaker 9: fun thing to have, especially right now in Memphis area.
- 28:14Speaker 2: Absolutely. By the way, is it bulletproof? Can we find out?
- 28:20Speaker 9: I don't think it's full of proof.
- 28:22Speaker 2: All right, Well, we just asked the citizens of Memphis.
- 28:25Speaker 2: Don't take any shots at the giant Wiener. Just you know,
- 28:28Speaker 2: let's let's treat our let's treat our visitors with a
- 28:31Speaker 2: little respect, all right. He in the intern, Uh, don't
- 28:35Speaker 2: forget that swag and uh we'll we'll work on the whistle. Thanks, Ian,
- 28:39Speaker 2: good job, Thanks for having me on. All right, Well
- 28:42Speaker 2: there you go, uh Dylan, first live, first live report
- 28:47Speaker 2: in the field.
- 28:48Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm kind of disciplined in the whistle. I'm not
- 28:50Speaker 8: gonna lie. I can't get that off my mind.
- 28:52Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 28:52Speaker 8: Maybe it was the phone call. Maybe we just couldn't
- 28:54Speaker 8: get a good good listen there. When he brings it back,
- 28:57Speaker 8: he'll he'll, he'll do it proper.
- 28:58Speaker 2: He's a hot dogger. That's what they call the drivers.
- 29:01Speaker 2: The hot That.
- 29:01Speaker 8: Surprised me to you got a special certification to get
- 29:05Speaker 8: a hot dog license. That's fun.
- 29:07Speaker 2: Who would have thought, yeah, well, there you go. I'm
- 29:09Speaker 2: surprised I don't have hot dogs. I would have thought
- 29:11Speaker 2: they would be at least, you know, either serving them
- 29:13Speaker 2: or giving you a pack.
- 29:14Speaker 8: Yeah, you would think that that would happen. I also
- 29:17Speaker 8: was wondering about the gas that the hot dog takes.
- 29:20Speaker 2: If it's diesel or I mean, after eating or driving? Oh, driving,
- 29:25Speaker 2: I'm suck both.
- 29:27Speaker 8: Maybe both.
- 29:28Speaker 2: Sorry, I don't know. It's I mean, that's a good question.
- 29:31Speaker 8: Probably diesel.
- 29:32Speaker 2: That thing is huge, it's giant, twenty seven feet long. Yeah,
- 29:36Speaker 2: and the bun. We should have had them described the bun.
- 29:39Speaker 2: But it's fun. It's quite beautiful to see.
- 29:43Speaker 8: Wonderful bun.
- 29:43Speaker 2: It's America maybe, yeah, America? All right? Uh nine oh
- 29:47Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six. That's nine
- 29:51Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. This
- 29:53Speaker 2: is the Todd Starn Show, you know, Dylan, people are
- 30:04Speaker 2: still sending us their recommendations for favorite hot dog joints
- 30:09Speaker 2: in America. It's we've created something here or onto something.
- 30:14Speaker 8: I think you're just making a lot of people think
- 30:16Speaker 8: about hot dogs, and it's also lunchtime, so that doesn't help,
- 30:19Speaker 8: or maybe it does.
- 30:20Speaker 2: There is there was a place in Tucson, Arizona that
- 30:24Speaker 2: I went to and it was like an it's a
- 30:26Speaker 2: giant like outdoor sort of like their version of Sonic,
- 30:31Speaker 2: but all they serve are these hot dogs. They call
- 30:33Speaker 2: them Sonora Dogs. And I cannot remember the place. A
- 30:38Speaker 2: couple of a couple of Border Patrol guys took me
- 30:41Speaker 2: there and it was it's like a big thing there,
- 30:44Speaker 2: a Sonora dog which is sort of like the hot
- 30:47Speaker 2: dog of choice there in Tucson, Arizona. And I guess
- 30:52Speaker 2: it's like Mexican theme. I think it did it originate?
- 30:55Speaker 2: I think it originated in Mahikul And it's basically a
- 31:00Speaker 2: a bacon wrapped hot dog, which you can't go wrong there, right,
- 31:04Speaker 2: and it's topped with pinto beans, onions, tomatoes, and others
- 31:08Speaker 2: including mayonnaise, which I'm not a big mayonnaise guy or
- 31:11Speaker 2: a pinto bean guy, but otherwise it's a great hot dog.
- 31:14Speaker 8: Beans and mayonnaise lost me there.
- 31:17Speaker 2: Yeah, that is Diesel, right there, my friends, that is Diesel.
- 31:21Speaker 2: So anyway, but ian great job we're posting some photos
- 31:24Speaker 2: in the break over on the social media pages, and
- 31:27Speaker 2: we'll get to all of that, all of that up
- 31:29Speaker 2: and running. You know, I think it's interesting the Wiener Mobile.
- 31:32Speaker 2: They have six of them and they literally travel all
- 31:35Speaker 2: over the United States. So it really is a big deal.
- 31:39Speaker 2: And as you heard, was it Isaac the hot dogger himself.
- 31:43Speaker 2: You got to go to a special school to learn
- 31:47Speaker 2: how to drive that thing.
- 31:48Speaker 11: You know.
- 31:48Speaker 2: The problem is the bun is much smaller than the
- 31:50Speaker 2: actual meat of the vehicle.
- 31:52Speaker 7: There.
- 31:53Speaker 2: But folks and you folks in Poise Idlehole there at
- 32:00Speaker 2: the Albertsons today and Lancaster, Ohio at the Children's Museum.
- 32:05Speaker 2: So they've got like I said, they're all over the place.
- 32:08Speaker 2: And of course South have in Mississippi. All of you
- 32:11Speaker 2: people in northern Mississippi, you're gonna be able to get
- 32:14Speaker 2: to see the the Wienermobile. Two. They don't even pay
- 32:18Speaker 2: us for this. This is like free publicity, but we
- 32:21Speaker 2: like to do our part. You know, it's America, you know,
- 32:23Speaker 2: that's what America is all about. Nine oh one two
- 32:27Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. Our telephone number, that's
- 32:30Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine to six. Well,
- 32:34Speaker 2: there is an interesting story in Boston where the mayor
- 32:41Speaker 2: of Boston is really concerned about all of you gay
- 32:45Speaker 2: illegal immigrants, and you can't make this you cannot make
- 32:52Speaker 2: this story up. So the Boston mayor, her name is
- 32:56Speaker 2: I Believe Woo. She is now handing out five hundred
- 32:59Speaker 2: dollars hair and massage vouchers to queer and transgender migrants
- 33:05Speaker 2: and refugees. So if you're here illegally, you're going to
- 33:09Speaker 2: be able to get a free massage and a haircut.
- 33:14Speaker 2: Mayor Michelle Woo funding a new program that will also
- 33:19Speaker 2: provide that will provide allowances they're calling them wellness allowances
- 33:24Speaker 2: to attend yoga classes and creative healing. Now here's what's
- 33:29Speaker 2: interesting about this. Right now, the city of Boston is
- 33:33Speaker 2: dealing with a fifty million dollar deficit, and yet they're
- 33:37Speaker 2: able to scrounge up the money taxpayer money to make
- 33:40Speaker 2: sure that transgender activists or transgender people rather, are able
- 33:46Speaker 2: to deal with their mental health. The program covers non
- 33:52Speaker 2: clinical care including yoga, meditation, creative healing, peer support, accuate
- 34:00Speaker 2: puncture massages, hair salons, and gym memberships. This is nuts,
- 34:08Speaker 2: so it's a it's a big deal. It's called Project
- 34:11Speaker 2: Belonging Matters, and the mayor says it's our way of saying,
- 34:15Speaker 2: you deserve rest, you deserve healing and community. Many LGBTQIA
- 34:22Speaker 2: plus migrants carry trauma, isolation, and survival on their shoulders,
- 34:27Speaker 2: often without access to care. The vouchers range from two
- 34:32Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars to five hundred dollars and can
- 34:35Speaker 2: only be used in Boston, with priority given to low income,
- 34:39Speaker 2: isolated queer and transmigrant asylum seekers and refugees. Critics were
- 34:46Speaker 2: quick to bash the program. I am surprised by that
- 34:50Speaker 2: WTF Democrat Boston Mayor Michelle who launched a program that
- 34:54Speaker 2: goes vouchers to trans migrants so they can get yoga classes,
- 35:00Speaker 2: all funded with your tax dollars. Another said, you thought
- 35:04Speaker 2: they were just gonna waste all that money you sent
- 35:06Speaker 2: them today. That's a good point. It wasn't immediately clear
- 35:12Speaker 2: how much taxpayer money will be used. Right now, they
- 35:16Speaker 2: are accepting applications even while the city grapples with a
- 35:21Speaker 2: forty eight point four million dollar budget deficit. I'm curious
- 35:27Speaker 2: to know excentually what sort of massages are they talking about,
- 35:31Speaker 2: and the yoga too, Dylan. I was at the Shelby
- 35:35Speaker 2: Farms park the other day before they started shooting people
- 35:39Speaker 2: and they I noticed there was like this huge crowd
- 35:43Speaker 2: on the hill over the lake there and what is
- 35:47Speaker 2: it the Baptist promenade that's the little trail around the lake.
- 35:51Speaker 2: And I noticed all these people up on the hill
- 35:54Speaker 2: and they were doing yoga. And I kept hearing me, me, me,
- 36:00Speaker 2: and I'm like, what is all that noise? And so
- 36:03Speaker 2: I stop walking and I just sort of walk up
- 36:05Speaker 2: the hill a little bit and I realized they had
- 36:08Speaker 2: like a herd of goats. Oh it was goat yoga.
- 36:12Speaker 8: Wow.
- 36:13Speaker 2: And they had the goats. I don't know if you
- 36:14Speaker 2: have ever seen this. And they you're you're doing your
- 36:17Speaker 2: yoga stuff and they put a goat on your back.
- 36:21Speaker 8: Apparently it's really relaxing and they're usually baby goats, but
- 36:25Speaker 8: you do risk them, you know, being or pooping.
- 36:30Speaker 2: I didn't even think about that. I was talking. They
- 36:31Speaker 2: were like they were like head butt you or you know,
- 36:34Speaker 2: they would like start eating your shirt or something.
- 36:36Speaker 8: Right, you know, they really missed an opportunity. Shelby Farms
- 36:38Speaker 8: is known for having bison. They really missed a bison
- 36:42Speaker 8: yoga like a baby bison. I don't know, like a
- 36:44Speaker 8: big one might a baby. So how would this works?
- 36:49Speaker 8: You're telling me they will put baby bison on the bags.
- 36:52Speaker 8: I don't know how heavy baby bison are. If it's
- 36:54Speaker 8: like the hippo when it comes out, it's already like
- 36:56Speaker 8: two tons. But come on, we have the bison there.
- 37:00Speaker 8: They're they're having babies apparently, So.
- 37:03Speaker 2: I'm looking this up. How much is that they weigh
- 37:05Speaker 2: between thirty and seventy pounds. Yeah, you want that much
- 37:08Speaker 2: weight on your back.
- 37:10Speaker 8: I thought yoga is a workout.
- 37:11Speaker 2: Lord, I don't know about that. Go Yoga's fine, I
- 37:16Speaker 2: guess anyway, I'm thinking, I'm thinking if your goats, because
- 37:20Speaker 2: the goats are pretty smart little critters too, and I'm thinking,
- 37:24Speaker 2: you know, they're getting ready for you know, queer yoga class,
- 37:27Speaker 2: and the goats are like, yo, dude, we're good, We're good.
- 37:31Speaker 2: You gotta have some valdaries here. I'm just saying I
- 37:36Speaker 2: tried to do yoga once that half moon turned into
- 37:39Speaker 2: a full moon, and yeah, that was the end of that.
- 37:42Speaker 2: As they say, all right, coming up, you're not gonna
- 37:46Speaker 2: believe what the Republicans are up to yet. They want
- 37:48Speaker 2: to protect Haitian illegals. Will tell you who's responsible for that. Also,
- 37:55Speaker 2: Congressman David Kustoff on the way, our telephone number nine
- 37:58Speaker 2: oh one two six year roh five nine two six.
- 38:02Speaker 2: This is the Ton Sterns Show.
- 38:21Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 38:25Speaker 1: common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starts.
- 38:29Speaker 2: Satia, Miamaritan And Hello everybody. Welcome to the Ton Sterns
- 38:40Speaker 2: Radio program. What an honor to have you with us
- 38:43Speaker 2: for this hour of the show. Our telephone number, by
- 38:46Speaker 2: the way, nine oh one two six zero five, nine
- 38:49Speaker 2: two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five
- 38:53Speaker 2: to nine two six. All right, before we before we
- 38:58Speaker 2: jump into what Congress is up to, I want to
- 39:00Speaker 2: go to the phones. Poor Don has been holding on
- 39:02Speaker 2: for a little while, calling in about the Oscar Meyer wienermobile.
- 39:06Speaker 2: Don listening to his in Montgomery, Texas. Don, what can
- 39:10Speaker 2: you tell us?
- 39:12Speaker 13: Hey, God, I have a polaroid picture of my mother.
- 39:15Speaker 13: She used to work at the IgA in Patterson, Louisiana,
- 39:18Speaker 13: of her and the Oscarmar wienermobile late sixties, early seventies.
- 39:27Speaker 13: Is that right, goodwife? Yeah?
- 39:30Speaker 2: Wow? So that's I had no idea the Wienermobile was
- 39:33Speaker 2: that old. Wow.
- 39:35Speaker 13: Oh yeah, And I thought when I was living in Albuquerque,
- 39:37Speaker 13: I thought, in Albuquerque and there's the hot dog. The
- 39:42Speaker 13: Doghouse in Albuquerque is a good place to get hot dogs. Also,
- 39:46Speaker 13: it was featured in that movie the TV show I
- 39:51Speaker 13: forgot what one. It was about the maths and stuff.
- 39:56Speaker 13: And then the Chicago Dog in Chicago is another great
- 39:59Speaker 13: place for hot dogs.
- 40:02Speaker 2: Well, you can't go wrong with a good Chicago dog.
- 40:05Speaker 2: I will tell you that right now. So they got
- 40:07Speaker 2: the little with the celery salt, and you got the
- 40:10Speaker 2: pickle spear and the peppers and the tomatoes. I mean
- 40:13Speaker 2: it's almost like you're eating a salad, which makes it
- 40:15Speaker 2: somewhat healthy. Exactly.
- 40:17Speaker 13: I thought the same thing. I ordered the thing, and
- 40:20Speaker 13: we took a taxi ride from the Miracle Aisle down
- 40:23Speaker 13: there out to the suburbs or Wherever's that it's a pretty
- 40:25Speaker 13: neat little restaurant.
- 40:27Speaker 2: Well there is. There's a great little restaurant chain. Somebody
- 40:30Speaker 2: will call in and tell us what it is, but
- 40:32Speaker 2: it's predominantly there in the Chicago in the Midwest, much
- 40:35Speaker 2: like Culvers, which is I always consider Culver's to be
- 40:38Speaker 2: an upscale a fast food joint because they have great food.
- 40:42Speaker 2: But this one is well and that's where I have
- 40:43Speaker 2: my first whatever that beef thing they do there in Chicago.
- 40:47Speaker 2: And also the Chicago Dog and just Portello's is the
- 40:53Speaker 2: name of the place. I knew it was right through
- 40:55Speaker 2: the tip of my tongue.
- 40:57Speaker 13: They have the Mister Miss Hot Dog. It's on top
- 40:59Speaker 13: of the building.
- 41:01Speaker 2: Yeah, so isn't her Winners?
- 41:04Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 41:05Speaker 13: I had seen it on a show one day night.
- 41:07Speaker 13: So well, I go Chicago. I'm gonna try that. We
- 41:10Speaker 13: took a taxi ride out there too. I have a
- 41:12Speaker 13: pretty good hot dogs. Well then, well I just saw
- 41:16Speaker 13: it pass a little.
- 41:17Speaker 2: Don I'm glad. Well, I'm glad you did, and thank
- 41:20Speaker 2: you for calling in and thanks for listening and supporting
- 41:22Speaker 2: our good friends at Patriot Talk nine to twenty. By
- 41:25Speaker 2: the way, Mayor man Dommy Zoe Ron man Dommy, you
- 41:29Speaker 2: know that he announced that they're going to be launching
- 41:31Speaker 2: their very first government owned grocery store and Ladies and Gentlemen,
- 41:36Speaker 2: the grift involved in all of this is just insane.
- 41:40Speaker 2: First of all, it's going to cost millions and millions
- 41:43Speaker 2: of dollars for them to start. I want you to
- 41:46Speaker 2: listen to cut number seven plays.
- 41:49Speaker 14: This first store is going to cost thirty million dollars.
- 41:53Speaker 14: That's nearly half of the seventy million dollar budget that
- 41:56Speaker 14: Mayor Mom Donnie has proposed for all five city roun
- 41:59Speaker 14: grocery store. He announced this first one last night at
- 42:02Speaker 14: his one hundred first day celebration. The store is going
- 42:04Speaker 14: to be located in East Harlem in La Marketa, and
- 42:07Speaker 14: the plan is for it to be open next year.
- 42:10Speaker 12: We are building a brand new store on city owned
- 42:13Speaker 12: land currently sitting empty in East Harlem, a neighborhood where
- 42:20Speaker 12: nearly forty percent of households receive public assistance or SNAP
- 42:24Speaker 12: in the past year.
- 42:26Speaker 14: Because it's on city owned land, they will not have
- 42:28Speaker 14: to pay rent on the property. Mamdani pointed out that
- 42:31Speaker 14: grocery prices in the city have increased since the pandemic,
- 42:34Speaker 14: but he failed to point out how city run grocers
- 42:37Speaker 14: in other cities have failed to actually help residents. Similar
- 42:40Speaker 14: efforts in places like Kansas City have struggled to stay
- 42:44Speaker 14: afloat despite millions in taxpayer dollars. Sun Fresh Market permanently
- 42:48Speaker 14: closed this August after suffering from high crime, empty shelves,
- 42:53Speaker 14: and unsustainable losses. So, despite over seventeen million dollars in
- 42:57Speaker 14: taxpayer investments since twenty sixteen, the project failed to provide
- 43:01Speaker 14: a stable food source. But it's full steam ahead for
- 43:05Speaker 14: city owned grocery stores here in the Big Apple. Mom
- 43:07Speaker 14: Donnie promised on the campaign trail the grocery stores will
- 43:10Speaker 14: be available in each burrow. He says that will be
- 43:13Speaker 14: accomplished by the end of his term.
- 43:15Speaker 2: Okay, So Dylan and I want you to follow the
- 43:18Speaker 2: math here, all right, because I did a little bit
- 43:20Speaker 2: of research. We wanted to find out exactly how much
- 43:23Speaker 2: it would cost to build a luxury grocery store from
- 43:27Speaker 2: the ground up. So let's just say you walk out
- 43:29Speaker 2: of there's just a giant field and there's nothing in
- 43:32Speaker 2: the field, and you say, I am going to build
- 43:36Speaker 2: a brand new Pigly Wiggly or dare I say Win Dixie?
- 43:42Speaker 2: All right? So, and you wanted to be high end.
- 43:45Speaker 2: You wanted to have all the bells and whistles, right,
- 43:49Speaker 2: I mean, you want to state of the art grocery store.
- 43:52Speaker 2: Now Zonai, Mam Dommy is saying it's going to take
- 43:56Speaker 2: years to build this grocery store. He said that grocery
- 44:00Speaker 2: store is not going to open until twenty twenty nine.
- 44:02Speaker 2: And he said it's gonna cost thirty million dollars. Thirty
- 44:06Speaker 2: million dollars to build a grocery store from scratch, and
- 44:09Speaker 2: he's really up even building it from scratch. The building
- 44:11Speaker 2: is already there, so they're just gonna renovate it and
- 44:13Speaker 2: then they're gonna they're gonna stock it with all of
- 44:16Speaker 2: their government cheese and whatnot. So so again, it's not
- 44:20Speaker 2: going to open up until twenty twenty nine. This is
- 44:23Speaker 2: the government now, and then the government grocery store is
- 44:26Speaker 2: going to cost thirty million dollars. Dylan. We did some
- 44:31Speaker 2: homework and it turns out that on average, it takes
- 44:35Speaker 2: about six months to build a grocery store from the
- 44:39Speaker 2: ground up. Six monthsikes, not three years. And if you
- 44:44Speaker 2: want to build a and I'm talking a high end
- 44:48Speaker 2: top of the you got you can buy caviar, you
- 44:51Speaker 2: can buy doctor pepper, you can buy all the good stuff.
- 44:58Speaker 2: Five million dollars. And that's building the building, that's stocking
- 45:04Speaker 2: the shelves, and that's everything. Five million dollars to start
- 45:08Speaker 2: up a grocery store. Ladies, are you seeing the grift here,
- 45:12Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. I mean, this is outrageous, just outrageous.
- 45:16Speaker 2: And now man DOMMI is man is he going after
- 45:18Speaker 2: the rich and he's loving this. He is, I have
- 45:23Speaker 2: to say it, pardon the punt. He is relishing this
- 45:26Speaker 2: because he is taxing the rich out the wazoo. So now,
- 45:30Speaker 2: if let's just say that you've got a little place
- 45:33Speaker 2: in New York City, and I'll give you a great
- 45:35Speaker 2: example of this. So I was looking into buying this
- 45:39Speaker 2: when I was back at Fox News. In Trump Tower,
- 45:42Speaker 2: Trump International Hotel, that's the one over by Columbus Circle.
- 45:46Speaker 2: You can actually buy a little studio apartment there, but
- 45:51Speaker 2: you can only live in it for like I think
- 45:53Speaker 2: the rule is like six months out of the year
- 45:55Speaker 2: and then the rest of the year it's turned back
- 45:57Speaker 2: over into a hotel room. And then you get revenue
- 46:01Speaker 2: based off of that, you know, the hotel fees. And
- 46:05Speaker 2: I decided it was I mean, it was a really
- 46:07Speaker 2: very economical thing. It was like a million dollars and
- 46:10Speaker 2: you know that was for that for that location and
- 46:12Speaker 2: for the tower, and you know the prices. That is
- 46:16Speaker 2: actually a really good deal in New York City. But anyway,
- 46:19Speaker 2: so let's just say Tom Stearns had gone and purchased that,
- 46:22Speaker 2: and I'm my main residence is in Memphis, I would
- 46:25Speaker 2: be double tax man Domi wants to double tax people
- 46:30Speaker 2: on their properties like that in New York City. And
- 46:33Speaker 2: now they're about to advance because of course, what's happening
- 46:36Speaker 2: is with all of the higher taxes and the fees
- 46:39Speaker 2: being directed at wealthy people and businesses, guess what's happening.
- 46:42Speaker 2: People are moving. So now, ma'm Dommi and the Democrats,
- 46:47Speaker 2: these communists, they want to tax people to leave New
- 46:52Speaker 2: York City. So if you decide we're packing up and leaving,
- 46:55Speaker 2: they're going to tax you. You say this is outrageous, Yes,
- 46:59Speaker 2: it's out rageous, But ma'am Dommy told everybody that's what
- 47:02Speaker 2: he was going to do. I'm not sure why everybody
- 47:04Speaker 2: was surprised by the way. In New York City, if
- 47:07Speaker 2: you live in New York City, Dylan, you're paying a
- 47:11Speaker 2: federal income tax, right, you got that, you're paying a
- 47:14Speaker 2: state income tax, and then you're paying a city income tax.
- 47:19Speaker 2: So you could be making seventy five eighty thousand dollars
- 47:23Speaker 2: a year and if you're making that much money in
- 47:25Speaker 2: New York City seventy five as you're living in poverty,
- 47:28Speaker 2: and also here you're living in poverty. It's it's hard
- 47:33Speaker 2: enough making If you're making a quarter million dollars a
- 47:37Speaker 2: year in New York City, you're you're just getting by.
- 47:39Speaker 2: I mean, that's how expensive it is to live there.
- 47:41Speaker 2: But just think about this. You're getting seventy five thousand
- 47:44Speaker 2: dollars and before you even get your check, you've got
- 47:48Speaker 2: a good I don't know, wow, ten fifteen thousand dollars
- 47:52Speaker 2: of that going to taxes. I'm just spitballing here. But
- 47:56Speaker 2: that's the problem they've got in New York City. They
- 47:58Speaker 2: will there will be a mass axe of businesses and
- 48:02Speaker 2: people's leaving that leaving that city. That's how bad it is.
- 48:07Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 48:09Speaker 2: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 48:14Speaker 2: I mean, has has any any reporter in New York
- 48:17Speaker 2: City actually have they done what we do? I mean,
- 48:20Speaker 2: you know, you know, we don't take people for again. Oh,
- 48:23Speaker 2: by the way, breaking.
- 48:25Speaker 1: News, breaking news now on the Todd Stern Show.
- 48:30Speaker 2: Okay, it's not really breaking news. We haven't used the
- 48:34Speaker 2: we haven't used the button in a while. So yesterday
- 48:37Speaker 2: we told you about the whole Erica Kurring. So people
- 48:39Speaker 2: are coming after me. I am getting destroyed on social
- 48:42Speaker 2: media that you evil man going after Erica Kerr. What
- 48:47Speaker 2: are you talking about? I haven't gone after Erica Kerry.
- 48:49Speaker 2: You know what, I'm gonna read what I wrote about
- 48:51Speaker 2: Erica Kirk, and don't people are hating. They're they're hating
- 48:55Speaker 2: on yours trolley. And I'm a nice guy, right, I mean,
- 49:01Speaker 2: I lovable curmudgeon, I suppose. So anyway, here's what I
- 49:07Speaker 2: wrote that caused all you know what to break a
- 49:10Speaker 2: loose scrolling. I wrote a lot of tweets yesterday. Oh
- 49:14Speaker 2: I had to go vote yesterday too, by the way,
- 49:19Speaker 2: So I wrote on social media about oh, here we go.
- 49:23Speaker 2: This is what I wrote, And this is why they're saying,
- 49:26Speaker 2: you're just a mean man. You hate Erica Kirk, you
- 49:30Speaker 2: hate Charlie Kirk. You're implied by the Jews based on
- 49:38Speaker 2: the amount of barbecue we eat here in this company.
- 49:41Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that's not accurate. But anyway, I digress.
- 49:44Speaker 2: But here's what I wrote. Whoever made the serious, incredible
- 49:47Speaker 2: threats against against missus Kirk should be hunted down and
- 49:50Speaker 2: thrown in jail. Anybody have a problem with that? Does
- 49:55Speaker 2: that make it? Makes me sound like I'm a bad person.
- 49:58Speaker 2: I think they ought to be punished. Then I go on,
- 50:01Speaker 2: but if there was indeed a serious threat, why was
- 50:04Speaker 2: Vice President Vance allowed to take the stage? And we did.
- 50:08Speaker 2: We reached down to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation in
- 50:11Speaker 2: the Athens Police Department for war details about the nature
- 50:14Speaker 2: of the threat and what additional security measures were implemented
- 50:18Speaker 2: to protect those in attendance at the TPOSA event. Pray
- 50:22Speaker 2: for missus Kirk, you evil man, That's what I wrote.
- 50:28Speaker 2: So what they're upset about? Somebody? I got tons of
- 50:31Speaker 2: hate mail, tons of hate mail over this. And here's
- 50:34Speaker 2: the gist of it. How dare you question any narrative
- 50:39Speaker 2: that comes out of TPOSA. That's it. That's it. And
- 50:43Speaker 2: I note that TPOSA has unleashed their hounds, and that's fine,
- 50:48Speaker 2: but I haven't accused him of anything. I just wanted
- 50:51Speaker 2: to know the nature of the threats. And now they're saying,
- 50:56Speaker 2: how dare you how you do not question what we say?
- 51:00Speaker 2: I mean, that's it. You do not question what we say? Anyway,
- 51:04Speaker 2: CBS News, this is the breaking news part of it. So,
- 51:06Speaker 2: first of all, we did reach out and we did
- 51:08Speaker 2: hear back from the Athens Clark County Police Department there
- 51:11Speaker 2: in Georgia, and they say there were no known threats
- 51:15Speaker 2: to their knowledge targeting missus Kirk. Then the CBS affiliate
- 51:22Speaker 2: in Atlanta reached out to the Secret Service and the
- 51:27Speaker 2: Secret Service said the same thing that the local police said.
- 51:33Speaker 2: So you can extrapolate from that whatever you want to say.
- 51:38Speaker 2: But again, this is the headline from CBS News. Secret
- 51:41Speaker 2: Service determines no credible threats to the UGA rally after
- 51:46Speaker 2: Erica Kirk's cancelation. Now, this is not a big deal
- 51:50Speaker 2: for me, you know. Again, we're just following up. And
- 51:54Speaker 2: it was just weird that if there really was a threat,
- 51:58Speaker 2: they would have not allowed the vice president to be
- 52:01Speaker 2: anywhere near that event. Oh and the other thing, now,
- 52:04Speaker 2: is this that all of the empty seats were planned
- 52:09Speaker 2: that it was for No, I'm that's not lamping, Dylan,
- 52:13Speaker 2: You're getting me in trouble.
- 52:15Speaker 8: That's just a funny thing to say.
- 52:18Speaker 2: It's true. All's here. They said, no, no, no, we
- 52:21Speaker 2: were only allowed to have a few hundred people in
- 52:23Speaker 2: the So if that's the case, then why not put
- 52:26Speaker 2: it in a smaller room.
- 52:27Speaker 8: At the basket Robins.
- 52:29Speaker 2: Geez, I'm not even gonna go there. I can't. I
- 52:33Speaker 2: can only handle so much hate per day. I've reached
- 52:36Speaker 2: my limit. Oh gosh, let's go to Gainesville, Georgia. Kathleen
- 52:41Speaker 2: is on the line, Kathleen. What is on your mind?
- 52:45Speaker 15: Hi, looks on my mind. I'm so nervous.
- 52:49Speaker 2: Why are you nervous?
- 52:51Speaker 15: Oh to talk to you?
- 52:52Speaker 2: Of course, Well, there's no reason to be nervous. I'm
- 52:55Speaker 2: a lovable curmudgeon. What's going on, Kathleen?
- 52:58Speaker 15: But anyway, I wanted to tell you a cute story
- 53:01Speaker 15: about one of my children. My daughters is almost thirty
- 53:04Speaker 15: years old now. When she was about four or five,
- 53:07Speaker 15: she was having a bad dream and maybe sleepwalking, and
- 53:12Speaker 15: she came into our bedroom and she said, I don't
- 53:15Speaker 15: want to be an Oscar meyer Weener. That was the
- 53:19Speaker 15: entire thing, And we have alasked over that story so
- 53:22Speaker 15: many times over the years.
- 53:25Speaker 2: I wonder what would have happened if she was just
- 53:27Speaker 2: randomly on the road there in Gainesville and all of
- 53:30Speaker 2: a sudden she was passed by a twenty seven foot
- 53:32Speaker 2: long hot dog.
- 53:34Speaker 15: And well, not only that, we are now in the
- 53:37Speaker 15: couringroom for my grandchildren. Now a big stuffed Oscar Mayer wienermobile.
- 53:43Speaker 2: Is that right, I wis? Oh my goodness, wow? What
- 53:48Speaker 2: what are great memories? What great memories? Kathleen?
- 53:52Speaker 15: It is thank you and thank you for all you do.
- 53:55Speaker 16: I appreciate you.
- 53:56Speaker 2: Well, you're so kind to say that, and thank you
- 53:58Speaker 2: for listening to WTU and it's a great radio station.
- 54:01Speaker 2: And you guys have a great city, by the way,
- 54:03Speaker 2: beautiful town. Kathleen. I've got to leave it there, but
- 54:06Speaker 2: thank you for calling in nine oh one two six
- 54:09Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. This is the Todd Sterns Show, Dylan,
- 54:23Speaker 2: this is cool. Ian is back in the building in
- 54:26Speaker 2: the bunker and brought us all whistles.
- 54:28Speaker 8: He did exactly what we told him to do.
- 54:30Speaker 2: And a postcard and sure enough, do you this is
- 54:34Speaker 2: fascinating the it's a postcard showing the Wiener Mobile through
- 54:38Speaker 2: the years. Do you realize the very first Oscar Meyer
- 54:41Speaker 2: wienermobile will actually hit the roads in nineteen thirty six?
- 54:44Speaker 8: Wow? Did they even have cars back in that's a
- 54:47Speaker 8: bad question.
- 54:48Speaker 2: Wow, that's uh.
- 54:50Speaker 8: They had the Ford.
- 54:54Speaker 2: And by the way, it was like a giant bomb.
- 54:56Speaker 8: It does. Yeah, that would be terrifying. And then in
- 54:59Speaker 8: two thousand they had the Mini Cooper.
- 55:01Speaker 2: Oh see that, Oh yeah, like a little mini that weird.
- 55:06Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones Angela, high Point, North Carolina,
- 55:09Speaker 2: WSJS Angela. We have so many important things to talk
- 55:13Speaker 2: about today, but we're all about the Oscar Mayer Wiener Mobile.
- 55:18Speaker 7: Exactly. Dodd.
- 55:20Speaker 17: So I'm a funny story because I'm like sixty two
- 55:24Speaker 17: and I work at a well known grocery store where
- 55:27Speaker 17: they actually brought the Windermobile and says that for the
- 55:31Speaker 17: time in my life, I was like, oh my gosh.
- 55:33Speaker 7: What is this?
- 55:34Speaker 17: And they had it as a special event for our
- 55:37Speaker 17: publics and that was so hilarious to out there and
- 55:41Speaker 17: see people just go bananas over the leadermobile. And then yeah,
- 55:47Speaker 17: you do. You get your own little personal weaning whistle.
- 55:51Speaker 17: And then but I have to say, in defense, I
- 55:54Speaker 17: have scoured my house to find mine to do a
- 55:57Speaker 17: better whistle call for you. But now that you have
- 56:00Speaker 17: your own, you can do it. So but in defense,
- 56:03Speaker 17: it is kind of hard. You have to hold it
- 56:04Speaker 17: a certain way, and then you have to figure out
- 56:05Speaker 17: which way to turn it. I used to use it
- 56:07Speaker 17: to call my dog into the house.
- 56:09Speaker 7: But I don't know.
- 56:10Speaker 6: Where it went.
- 56:11Speaker 17: I have no idea where it went. And my husband's like,
- 56:13Speaker 17: I don't know where mine is either. It's like, okay,
- 56:15Speaker 17: well that was a special event. Now we don't even
- 56:17Speaker 17: know where they are.
- 56:18Speaker 2: Angela love the story, and you know what I'm gonna do.
- 56:21Speaker 2: I'm gonna send you an Oscar Mayer Wiener Mobile Wiener whistle,
- 56:26Speaker 2: so you'll have one for your collection.
- 56:29Speaker 18: Do I need what?
- 56:30Speaker 2: Don't hang up, don't, Angela, don't hang up. We're gonna
- 56:33Speaker 2: get your info and we'll send you a Wiener whistle.
- 56:36Speaker 2: All right, hanging tide. Everybody gotta take a break. All right,
- 56:56Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, Welcome, welcome back. This is The Times
- 57:00Speaker 2: Stern's radio show. Great to have you with us today.
- 57:02Speaker 2: Our telephone number, by the way, nine oh one two
- 57:05Speaker 2: six zero five, nine two six. That's nine oh one
- 57:08Speaker 2: to six zero five nine two six, so yesterday. And
- 57:12Speaker 2: by the way, great to have our good friend Luke
- 57:13Speaker 2: Symbol Republican strategist here in studio. And Luke there is
- 57:19Speaker 2: there's a developing story in the house of our presentatives,
- 57:21Speaker 2: and I want to go through some audio here sort
- 57:24Speaker 2: of setting the stage where the House is about to
- 57:29Speaker 2: vote on passing protections for three hundred and fifty Haitian illegals.
- 57:34Speaker 2: And they want to give them what they call TPS,
- 57:36Speaker 2: which just temporary protective service. But the problem is they
- 57:41Speaker 2: it's never temporary, it's always just permanent, right, So that's
- 57:45Speaker 2: that's the issue. So here is the report from Fox
- 57:49Speaker 2: News cut number forty plays.
- 57:51Speaker 19: The House will be voting later today on a bill
- 57:53Speaker 19: that would extend temporary protected status for those Haitians for
- 57:57Speaker 19: another three years. And there is all sorts of outrage
- 58:00Speaker 19: on the right this morning, after six House Republicans voted
- 58:04Speaker 19: with Democrats yesterday to advance this legislation, voting on a
- 58:07Speaker 19: motion to move it forward. Now that motion passed because
- 58:11Speaker 19: of the help from these Republicans, and some of them
- 58:13Speaker 19: explain themselves in posts on ex New York Congresswoman Nicole
- 58:17Speaker 19: melli Otakis wrote in park quote, these are Haitian immigrants
- 58:20Speaker 19: who are working, paying taxes and contributing to our economy.
- 58:23Speaker 19: To strip them of their status and deport them to
- 58:26Speaker 19: a country in peril would be uncompassionate and misguided. But
- 58:29Speaker 19: other House Republicans who are hawkish on immigration are not.
- 58:33Speaker 2: Happy with this.
- 58:34Speaker 19: Texas Republican Congressman Brandon Gill writing quote, it is an
- 58:37Speaker 19: abomination that any Republican would vote to extend TPS. Pennsylvania
- 58:42Speaker 19: Congressman Scott Perry wrote quote, six Republicans teamed up with
- 58:46Speaker 19: Democrats to allow backdoor amnesty for hundreds of thousands of
- 58:49Speaker 19: Haitians who came into our country illegally, betraying American citizens. Well,
- 58:53Speaker 19: House Democrats now feel win in their sales and they
- 58:56Speaker 19: are urging the House to extend Haitian TPS when they
- 58:59Speaker 19: vote today.
- 59:00Speaker 11: Patient TPS holders are parents, they are most definitely caregivers.
- 59:07Speaker 11: They're small business owners, healthcare providers. They are the essential
- 59:12Speaker 11: threads in the fabric of our communities.
- 59:17Speaker 2: Okay, by the way, these are the six lawmakers Maria Salazar,
- 59:22Speaker 2: who is also behind the Dignity Act, the Dom Bacon,
- 59:26Speaker 2: Brian Fitzpatrick, Carlos Yamenez, Nicole Malatakis, and Mike Lawler. Luke,
- 59:33Speaker 2: what say you?
- 59:34Speaker 3: It's disgusting and how many times do the American people
- 59:38Speaker 3: have to tell Republicans, but really the entire country in
- 59:41Speaker 3: these elections, that we want no more immigration. Now, we
- 59:47Speaker 3: don't want anything. And even DHS Secretary Mullins was on
- 59:51Speaker 3: Fox News last night saying, we are a nation of
- 59:53Speaker 3: immigrants and we want legal immigrants. No, no, we don't.
- 59:56Speaker 3: Right now, we have so many foreign born individuals in
- 1:00:00Speaker 3: this country. We need to assimilate the ones already here.
- 1:00:04Speaker 3: And Haitians are not Americans, they are Haitians. And I
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: think it's very nice that they were here for a
- 1:00:09Speaker 3: little bit, but now they can go back home.
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, here is Secretary Mullins. Let's
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: take a listen what.
- 1:00:15Speaker 20: Is going on.
- 1:00:16Speaker 18: Unfortunately, TPS turns into a permanent status. We have people
- 1:00:19Speaker 18: that's been here for thirty years and then when we
- 1:00:22Speaker 18: say we're going to end protected status for you, they
- 1:00:26Speaker 18: end up coming in and saying, well, wait a second,
- 1:00:28Speaker 18: it's in humane because we are married, we have family,
- 1:00:30Speaker 18: we have kids here, we have grandkids here, we work here,
- 1:00:32Speaker 18: and now we're going to send you back home. But
- 1:00:34Speaker 18: it was never supposed to be permanent. And as the
- 1:00:36Speaker 18: problem is, when you start extending these programs, they become permanent.
- 1:00:40Speaker 5: And I have a real.
- 1:00:41Speaker 18: Hard I have a hard issue with TPS to begin with,
- 1:00:45Speaker 18: because we don't ever end it.
- 1:00:47Speaker 5: We always extend it.
- 1:00:49Speaker 18: We have asylum malls here, and if you need asylum
- 1:00:52Speaker 18: and you can prove that you have asylum, we're pretty
- 1:00:54Speaker 18: generous in that. Very small but it is a very
- 1:00:57Speaker 18: small percentage. But that's what I'm saying, if you can
- 1:00:58Speaker 18: prove it, which is the press has tightened it. President Trump,
- 1:01:01Speaker 18: we have tightened this now.
- 1:01:03Speaker 21: It's been brilliant at the vorder, brilliant lockdown. They're not
- 1:01:06Speaker 21: accepting the fake assiglies, but they would extend their stay
- 1:01:10Speaker 21: in the United States for that till January twentieth, twenty
- 1:01:13Speaker 21: twenty nine, President Trump's last day and office.
- 1:01:15Speaker 18: And where we are not for that?
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: I mean, what in the world is going on here?
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: I'm not understanding. Are they Are they in tight races
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: in their congressional districts here? Is that what they're what
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: they're in for?
- 1:01:26Speaker 3: They're out of touch and immigration is a really if
- 1:01:30Speaker 3: you look at the voter they are screaming independence. Republicans
- 1:01:35Speaker 3: and some working class Democrats are saying, we are so
- 1:01:38Speaker 3: tired of having to compete compete for wages against these immigrants.
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: We are so tired to have to compete for housing.
- 1:01:45Speaker 3: When you look at the insane housing costs over the
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: past five years in this country, the housing inflation that
- 1:01:53Speaker 3: is a direct result of letting millions and millions of
- 1:01:55Speaker 3: people into the country. And I just I don't know
- 1:01:59Speaker 3: how many more times we we elected Donald Trump. For
- 1:02:04Speaker 3: goodness sakes, that Golden Escalator's speech when he came down
- 1:02:07Speaker 3: in twenty fifteen and was widely mocked by the political
- 1:02:11Speaker 3: class in the mainstream media, but that was an immigration message.
- 1:02:15Speaker 3: The American people heard it, and by golly, we elected
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: him president against all odds twice, well, maybe even three times,
- 1:02:21Speaker 3: but twice.
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: Look, no, it's what can we say?
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: What more can we say?
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: Though? No, it's Look, it's a great point. And and
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: again we have got you know, when you when you
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: tie in the Save America Act, which is still languishing,
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: and that's not going anywhere. I think John Thune the
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: other day said, well, you know, now we just don't
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: have any time. You know, we've run out of time.
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: I've been warning people about this since March that you know,
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: of last year, that if we did not get a
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: move on, we were going to be in a world
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: of hurt.
- 1:02:51Speaker 3: Well, even here locally, Todd, you and I are both
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: based in the Memphis area. Even here locally, the election
- 1:02:57Speaker 3: commissioner or administrator rather came out and said, well, if
- 1:03:01Speaker 3: the Save Act passes, we just don't have enough time
- 1:03:03Speaker 3: to get it done. You are exactly right. And it's
- 1:03:06Speaker 3: just so frustrating when the American people have been so
- 1:03:09Speaker 3: clear on various issues, when they are so in favor
- 1:03:12Speaker 3: of voter id when they are so in favor of
- 1:03:15Speaker 3: reducing immigrations, ending all illegal immigration, sending all illegal aliens home,
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: and reducing the legal immigration numbers. The country has been
- 1:03:25Speaker 3: very clear, and yet our elected leaders are elected, they're
- 1:03:29Speaker 3: supposed to be representatives. Refuse to fight and represent our positions.
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: I want to switch gears. There's a bit of drama
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: and Tennessee, of all places in the Nashville area. Now
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: a lot of folks may not realize, but we had
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: tons of Muslims that were relocated to Tennessee, predominantly in
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: the Murphysboro area and around the Nashville area in Middle Tennessee.
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: And now we have not won but two schools that
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: are funded by tax dollars that are fully embracing the
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: Islamic faith traditions. What do you mean that what's going on?
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: What is going on is mass migration. This gets back
- 1:04:05Speaker 3: to the immigration issue. When you have mass migration and
- 1:04:09Speaker 3: millions and millions of people coming into this country and
- 1:04:12Speaker 3: not assimilating, you know, we forget that. In the nineteen twenties,
- 1:04:17Speaker 3: we completely shut down immigration because Americans were so appalled
- 1:04:21Speaker 3: at some of the you know, the large numbers of
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: foreign born in the country. And then we had, for
- 1:04:25Speaker 3: like fifty sixty years, we had very intensive assimilation in
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: our public schools. We had pro American classes when you
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: grew up, even in the early nineties, this was still
- 1:04:35Speaker 3: the case. You're a grand old flag, you know. You
- 1:04:38Speaker 3: would sing these songs, these pro American songs in school.
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: You would learn about what a good country or nation was,
- 1:04:45Speaker 3: and you were assimilating immigrants into the country. But now
- 1:04:48Speaker 3: our public schools teach you to hate America. We have
- 1:04:51Speaker 3: so many immigrants coming in that they stay in their
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: little pods and they don't assimilate. And that's that what
- 1:04:58Speaker 3: we're seeing in the Nashville area with public schools now
- 1:05:01Speaker 3: accommodating Muslim prayer schedules as a direct result of mass migration,
- 1:05:06Speaker 3: and we have to end it now.
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting when you look at what's happening
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: nationwide with the rise of Islam in places like Texas
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: for example. You know, at some point this must be addressed,
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: and if it is not, then we're just going to
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: be overrun. And I know the Pope is out there saying, well,
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: you know, Muslims are really nice people, and you know
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: they don't you know, they're not there to proselytize you
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: or whatever. You know what, try opening up a Catholic
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: church in downtown tay Ronnie. Let me know how that goes.
- 1:05:35Speaker 8: Yep.
- 1:05:35Speaker 3: I would like to send all of those Muslim immigrants
- 1:05:37Speaker 3: he wants to come into every other Western country. Let's
- 1:05:40Speaker 3: send him to the Vatican. Let's see how it goes
- 1:05:43Speaker 3: when we give them thousands and thousands of Muslim immigrants
- 1:05:48Speaker 3: in the Vatican, and we can see if he still
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: has that same position. You know, I elected Donald Trump
- 1:05:52Speaker 3: as my president. I did not elect the Pope.
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: By the way, Mitt Romney is back in the headlines,
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: and this is interesting. We've been very critical of Mitt
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: Romney over the years and that incredibly failed presidential run
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: where he just simply refused to criticize Barack Obama. But
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: Mitt Romney is back, and he's actually giving President Trump
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: some compliments.
- 1:06:13Speaker 22: Here.
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: Take a listen to cut thirty.
- 1:06:14Speaker 23: One, and what about the Republican Party? Do you feel
- 1:06:17Speaker 23: like where they are? I mean, do you feel like
- 1:06:19Speaker 23: on immigration? And there's a lot of policies where people
- 1:06:22Speaker 23: would say, you know, they are extreme in their own
- 1:06:25Speaker 23: way and does that.
- 1:06:26Speaker 24: Well, we're both parties are creating their own problems. I
- 1:06:30Speaker 24: think what the President did to secure our border is
- 1:06:33Speaker 24: wisely done and very popular. I think some of the
- 1:06:37Speaker 24: ice actions throughout Minnesota and other places is seen by
- 1:06:41Speaker 24: people as being unnecessarily brutal and has hurt the President's popularity.
- 1:06:47Speaker 24: So some things I think the President's done that make
- 1:06:50Speaker 24: a lot of sense, that are politically attractive. Other things
- 1:06:53Speaker 24: I think are more harmful. Look, I have a list
- 1:06:56Speaker 24: of things where I agree with President Trump, and it's
- 1:06:58Speaker 24: a good long list. Then I have a list of
- 1:07:00Speaker 24: things where I disagree with him, but I understand his
- 1:07:02Speaker 24: logic and and say.
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: You know, he may be right, I may be wrong.
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: I'm not right on everything.
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: Wow, where was that the past few years? But I
- 1:07:10Speaker 3: will say people forget Mitt Romney was our best presidential
- 1:07:14Speaker 3: candidate up to that point in twenty twelve. On immigration.
- 1:07:19Speaker 3: His immigration policy was, we are going to make it
- 1:07:22Speaker 3: so difficult for illegal aliens here to get jobs that
- 1:07:24Speaker 3: they will go home. Naturally, he was very strong on immigration,
- 1:07:28Speaker 3: and people forget that.
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: It's he just ran such a horrible campaign. I remember
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: that there was a documentary that was done after the election, right,
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: and everybody was watching the documentary and people were like weeping.
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: It was moving and emotional. We're like, where why didn't
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: we show that? You know, why didn't we launch that
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: during the the rn C. I mean it might have
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: and it might have made a difference. But the fact
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: that he just simply refused to go after Obama and
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: call him and for what he really was, you know,
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: that was doomed from the start.
- 1:08:01Speaker 3: You're right, he refused to call out the race baiting
- 1:08:04Speaker 3: by the Obama administration. He refused to call out the
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: immigration problems now and again, Like I said, some of them,
- 1:08:10Speaker 3: Romney's policies when he ran were really, really good, but
- 1:08:13Speaker 3: they just he did not know how to message it
- 1:08:15Speaker 3: to the American people. And then we had Paul Ryan
- 1:08:19Speaker 3: on the vice presidential side. But you know, Trump has
- 1:08:23Speaker 3: changed the party for the better, but unfortunately we still
- 1:08:26Speaker 3: have to hold these Republicans accountable, like on this immigration issue.
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: By the way, we do have a little bit of
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: breaking news here, go ahead, Bella, we got a use.
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: We gotta breaking news now on the Todd Starn Show.
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: So we can now say that seven seven House Republicans
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: voted just voted to protect three hundred and fifty thousand
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: Haitian illegals. And the new name to the list, I'll
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: just read them all out, Don Bacon, Mario Diaz, Ballart,
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: Brian Fitzpatrick, Carlos Jamenez, Mike Lawler, Nicole Malliatakis, and Maria Salazar.
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: Those are the rogue report Republicans who voted with the Democrats.
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: This is very similar to the gang of a amnesty bill.
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: And the only person left standing is Marco Rubio, and
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: I think he's redeemed himself. We let's primary these folks
- 1:09:13Speaker 3: and get him out office.
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: What's going on here with young voters, gen Z voters
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: that they do seem to be really turned off right now.
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: And I know there are a lot of people that
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: are trying to excuse whatever happened in Georgia with the
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: empty auditorium that Vance spoke in number one, who on
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: Vance's team thought that was a good idea. They should
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: have come up with an immediate reason for him to
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: back out. I would have gone with this, and I
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: think that's ultimately why Erica Kurrent didn't show up, is
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: that she just you know, it was just it was embarrassing.
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: It was a dud, not good. And you know, young
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: young Americans are discouraged. I think they're very discouraged by
- 1:09:50Speaker 3: the Middle Eastern conflict and Iran, and that's why we
- 1:09:53Speaker 3: have to wrap it up quickly. Whether it was right
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: to go in or not, I think they're discouraged by it.
- 1:09:59Speaker 3: They young people are motivated by the American First message,
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: and unfortunately, I think some of that messaging has gone
- 1:10:08Speaker 3: to the wayside and it's discouraging for young people. And
- 1:10:12Speaker 3: turning point, I think I really thought a lot of
- 1:10:16Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk. I do not think a lot of the
- 1:10:19Speaker 3: current leadership.
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: Well, there is none, and I think that's the problem.
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: There is no vision and there's no leadership, and they're
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: just floundering right now.
- 1:10:28Speaker 3: I agree it's unfortunate, and I really really really hope
- 1:10:31Speaker 3: that we can wrap some of these distractions up so
- 1:10:34Speaker 3: that we can focus on the message. That was a
- 1:10:36Speaker 3: winning message in twenty.
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: Two because I'm going to tell you something right now.
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: I mean, we're seeing a lot of you know, I'm
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: the President's plan. It's perfect, it makes sense. But you
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: know what, there are still boys and girls locker rooms. Ye,
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: boys on those girls teams. I mean we see the
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: news reports every single day. Ye you talk about illegal immigration.
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: Are we actually deporting people? It's you know, we may be,
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: and they're just not publicizing it. That's an issue that
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: depart would have. Education has not been defunded. And when
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: you look at crime and for example Memphis, Tennessee, it's
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: a we're back to be in a war zone again.
- 1:11:08Speaker 3: We need to focus again on the issues here at home.
- 1:11:12Speaker 3: And I think unfortunately again whether the Iranian conflict, whether
- 1:11:15Speaker 3: it's right for us to go in or not, it's
- 1:11:17Speaker 3: sucking all the oxygen out of the room and sucking
- 1:11:19Speaker 3: the oxygen out of our messaging.
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: And here's how bad it is. I mean, this is insane.
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: So Democrats are still trailing it the latest c and
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: and polling, Democrats are still trailing Republicans by four points
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: in the midterms. So if the Republicans would just focus
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: yes and deliver on the president's agenda. They're going to
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: win in huge numbers in the fall.
- 1:11:40Speaker 3: Maybe you need to start running the caucus marketing. I'm
- 1:11:45Speaker 3: happy to do it.
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: I'll volunteer, they say, I'm already being paid by the Jews,
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: so you know I've got you know, I'll do it free.
- 1:11:54Speaker 3: There you go.

- 1:12:31Speaker 2: been extended for three more years, supported by seven seven
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: Republican lawmakers. And we'll post all of that information online
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: so you can see that for yourself. And I want
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: to give a big shout out to Tennessee Governor Bill
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: Lee signing a resolution for the month of June declaring
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: June as Nuclear Family Month, and the gay rights crowd,
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: have they've lost their ever loving minds? The governor saying
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: that the nuclear family, consisting of one husband, one wife,
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: and any biological, adopted or fostered children, is God's design
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: for family and has been the bedrock of society since
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: the creation of the world. Wow, that is that is
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: going to seriously rile up a bunch of folks there
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: in at least of the LGBT crowd. But good for you,
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: Governor Bill Lee. Ladies and gentlemen. This segment of the

- 1:16:40Speaker 2: great to have you with us for this final hour
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: of today's broadcast day. Congressman David Coostoff joining us in
- 1:16:48Speaker 2: just a little while. But I want to go to
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: I want to go to a conversation that we had
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: on the Newsmax Show last night with a Congressman to
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: Schweikert rather Congressman A Schweikert, the congressman touching based on
- 1:17:06Speaker 2: a lot of big issues, including the big scandals. Let's
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: take a listen. We did take a look at the
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: roll call vote, and it turns out you were just
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: one of sixty five members of Congress who voted to
- 1:17:16Speaker 2: release those records. I just don't get if this is
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: a no brainer to me. I'm just wondering why Republicans,
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: all the Republicans did not vote to release those records.
- 1:17:26Speaker 5: Todd. If I could figure that out, I would be
- 1:17:29Speaker 5: a much happier member of Congress.
- 1:17:32Speaker 2: You know, Congressman, it's just really despicable knowing that we've
- 1:17:36Speaker 2: got high school kids, college kids serving as pages and interns,
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: young staffers. I mean, how difficult is it to tell
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: these grown adults keep your hands off the interns, keep
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: your hands off the teenagers.
- 1:17:48Speaker 5: Look, it's worse than I think you or I will
- 1:17:52Speaker 5: ever truly understand. A dozen years ago, we had pages,
- 1:17:56Speaker 5: you know, two hundred years of pages being in Congress,
- 1:18:01Speaker 5: and we had to get rid of them because we
- 1:18:03Speaker 5: had a member in Florida and apparently others who are
- 1:18:06Speaker 5: being appropriate inappropriate with these young people. So what look
- 1:18:12Speaker 5: and I got to share a philosophy with you. When
- 1:18:14Speaker 5: it's tax fair money, whether it be the research done
- 1:18:18Speaker 5: on the Kennedy assassination, or the Epstein files or UFOs
- 1:18:24Speaker 5: or what happens here in Congress, the public deserves the information.
- 1:18:28Speaker 5: How do you build trust in a republic? For republic
- 1:18:32Speaker 5: to work, you need to have the population believe in it.
- 1:18:36Speaker 5: And right now, let's be honest. Do our voters actually
- 1:18:39Speaker 5: trust our government?
- 1:18:41Speaker 2: It's a great question, Congressman. I know the House Oversight
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: Committee Dave subpoena these slush fund records. Congresswoman Anna Pauline
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: A Luna, she serves on the committee, says they are
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: going to be releasing them and quote, maybe we will
- 1:18:54Speaker 2: see even more resignations. Is she just blowing smoke here, Congressmen,
- 1:18:59Speaker 2: or based on what you know and what you've heard,
- 1:19:01Speaker 2: do you think we may have some more folks jumping ship?
- 1:19:05Speaker 5: I can't answer that.
- 1:19:06Speaker 7: I have.
- 1:19:08Speaker 5: Look, there's a few of our members, whether it be
- 1:19:12Speaker 5: alcohol being inappropriate with members. Where's the ethical moral standard
- 1:19:20Speaker 5: up and down the ledger. My passion is everything should
- 1:19:26Speaker 5: be open to the public. If it's your money, if
- 1:19:29Speaker 5: there's not a security interest, if there's not a national
- 1:19:31Speaker 5: security interest. Why don't you deserve to know? Why don't
- 1:19:34Speaker 5: the voters deserve to know?
- 1:19:36Speaker 2: Look, that's a great question. I know Swalwell, by the way,
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: Senator Arizona Senator Ruben Galago have described each other as
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: best friends for years. Now Swalwell scandal now threatening to
- 1:19:46Speaker 2: take his best friend down with him. Here's the senator
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: what he had to say.
- 1:19:53Speaker 25: Eric Swell lied to all of us. We all heard
- 1:19:56Speaker 25: rumors in Washington, d C. About Eric Swallam for for
- 1:20:00Speaker 25: many years. That you heard what it was flirty, That
- 1:20:04Speaker 25: was flirty, and that wasplained about.
- 1:20:05Speaker 6: What year was I mean that was We've we've heard that.
- 1:20:07Speaker 25: We've heard that throughout center.
- 1:20:08Speaker 26: You've gone on trips, on vacations, officially, unofficially. You've never
- 1:20:12Speaker 26: even witnessed him, I don't know, engaging in an affair.
- 1:20:16Speaker 5: No, what about it?
- 1:20:18Speaker 2: No, Congressman, you buying what the senator is selling.
- 1:20:25Speaker 5: Oh and look, I'm from Arizona. I love my state.
- 1:20:29Speaker 5: I have troublesometimes believing he's my US senator. But you
- 1:20:35Speaker 5: did hear the irony in his statement? I heard the rumors.
- 1:20:40Speaker 5: Do you know how many rumors over the years we've
- 1:20:42Speaker 5: heard about Reuben, and here becomes that the the battle
- 1:20:48Speaker 5: we often have is when you see smoke is their fire,
- 1:20:53Speaker 5: is their research? And think about this. For Eric Solwell,
- 1:20:58Speaker 5: it wasn't until a demo crap functionally found a way
- 1:21:02Speaker 5: to get this information leaked out that it came crashing down.
- 1:21:07Speaker 5: It sort of shows you that the Democrats do a
- 1:21:11Speaker 5: much better job protecting their own and attacking us. I
- 1:21:16Speaker 5: want a system where everyone is held to the same
- 1:21:19Speaker 5: as standard and the public gets to know what everyone
- 1:21:24Speaker 5: is doing.
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you real quick. Though. Before I let
- 1:21:27Speaker 2: you go, I just want to circle back here. If
- 1:21:29Speaker 2: those files are released, would you anticipate more people leaving Congress?
- 1:21:36Speaker 5: It's unknowable at this point, but if there's some salacious
- 1:21:40Speaker 5: things in there, if they don't leave, elections are coming
- 1:21:44Speaker 5: and the voters will handle that.
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, there you go. Congressman Schwenker. Good to
- 1:21:50Speaker 2: have him with us on the show. I've got to
- 1:21:54Speaker 2: play this audio. This is zoron Man Dommy. We were
- 1:21:56Speaker 2: talking about this earlier. That he's announcing a news a
- 1:22:00Speaker 2: new tax on all property worth over five million dollars
- 1:22:04Speaker 2: if the owner does not live in New York city
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: full time cut twenty eight.
- 1:22:07Speaker 22: Please when I ran for mayor, I said I was
- 1:22:10Speaker 22: going to tax the rich. Well, today we're taxing a
- 1:22:15Speaker 22: I'm thrilled to announce who secured a pe of tear tax,
- 1:22:18Speaker 22: the first in New York's history. This is an annual
- 1:22:20Speaker 22: fee on luxury property is worth what five million dollars
- 1:22:23Speaker 22: whose owners do not live full time in the city,
- 1:22:26Speaker 22: like for this penthouse, which Hedge Fond CEO Ken Griffin
- 1:22:30Speaker 22: bought for two hundred and thirty eight million dollars. This
- 1:22:32Speaker 22: peta tear tax is specifically designed for the richest of
- 1:22:34Speaker 22: the rich, those who store their wealth in New York
- 1:22:36Speaker 22: City real estate, but who don't actually live But even
- 1:22:39Speaker 22: so they're able to reap the huge financial rewards of
- 1:22:42Speaker 22: owning property and dare I say, the greatest city in
- 1:22:44Speaker 22: the worlds and most of the time these units are
- 1:22:46Speaker 22: sitting empty since again they don't actually live here. This
- 1:22:49Speaker 22: is a fundamentally unfair system that hurts working New Yorkers.
- 1:22:53Speaker 22: Now it's coming to an end. This tax will raise
- 1:22:56Speaker 22: at least five hundred million dollars directly for the city,
- 1:22:59Speaker 22: and it'll help fun things like free childcare in cleaner streets,
- 1:23:02Speaker 22: say for neighborhoods. As mayor, I believe everyone has a
- 1:23:05Speaker 22: role to play in contributing to our city, and some
- 1:23:08Speaker 22: a little bit more than others. Happy TAXI, New.
- 1:23:10Speaker 2: York, Jesus a loup. Happy tax Day. He's taxing you
- 1:23:15Speaker 2: out the wazoos. That's what the mayor is going to do,
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: all right. Pete HeiG Seth, the Secretary of War, you know,
- 1:23:24Speaker 2: he's a religious guy. I here's the thing about about
- 1:23:30Speaker 2: the War Secretary, and I think you have to be
- 1:23:32Speaker 2: careful here, is that we don't need to be turning
- 1:23:36Speaker 2: what's happening in Iran right now into a holy war.
- 1:23:40Speaker 2: And it certainly appears that a lot of the Christian
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: lingo that's coming out of the Pentagon these days it's
- 1:23:47Speaker 2: a it's a little eyebrow raise. So anyway, now hag
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: Seth is comparing, in a roundabout way, comparing the Lord
- 1:23:58Speaker 2: to President Trump, and he's egg Seth. I don't think
- 1:24:03Speaker 2: he can. I don't think he intentionally meant to do it,
- 1:24:06Speaker 2: but he was. He was going after the press corps
- 1:24:08Speaker 2: and instead of calling them, you know, a bunch of
- 1:24:10Speaker 2: sorry so and sos, he calls them, well, a group
- 1:24:13Speaker 2: of pharisees. I want you to listen to Cut thirty seven.
- 1:24:17Speaker 26: Our press are just like these pharisees.
- 1:24:19Speaker 2: Not hold on, hold on, hold on my apologies. I
- 1:24:23Speaker 2: want to go back. I want to go back because
- 1:24:24Speaker 2: you need to hear the longer version of this a
- 1:24:27Speaker 2: cut thirty eight.
- 1:24:27Speaker 26: Place a note to the press, to the press corps,
- 1:24:31Speaker 26: to the American media, as I just can't help but
- 1:24:35Speaker 26: notice the endless stream of garbage, the relentlessly negative coverage.
- 1:24:42Speaker 26: You cannot resist pedaling despite the historic and important success
- 1:24:48Speaker 26: of this effort and the success of our troops. Sometimes
- 1:24:53Speaker 26: it's hard to figure out what side some of you
- 1:24:56Speaker 26: are actually on. It's incredibly on patriot this same press corps,
- 1:25:02Speaker 26: not this exact same press corps, but at least an
- 1:25:05Speaker 26: older press corps bent over backwards during the Baden administration
- 1:25:10Speaker 26: to explain away. You explained away the disastrous and disgraceful
- 1:25:15Speaker 26: Afghanistan withdrawal. You called it the greatest airlift in American history.
- 1:25:20Speaker 26: It's almost like you're cheering only for one side. This
- 1:25:26Speaker 26: past Sunday, I was sitting in church with my family,
- 1:25:30Speaker 26: and our minister preached from the Book of Mark the
- 1:25:33Speaker 26: third chapter and in the passage, Jesus entered a synagogue
- 1:25:38Speaker 26: and healed a man with a withered hand. The Pharisees
- 1:25:43Speaker 26: came to watch, and as the scripture reads, they came
- 1:25:46Speaker 26: to see whether he Jesus would heal him, or he
- 1:25:50Speaker 26: would heal him on the sabbath, so that they might
- 1:25:54Speaker 26: accuse him. You see, the Pharisees the so called and
- 1:25:59Speaker 26: self appointed elites of their time. They were there to witness,
- 1:26:03Speaker 26: to write everything down, to report, but their hearts were hardened.
- 1:26:10Speaker 26: Even though they witnessed a literal miracle, it didn't matter.
- 1:26:15Speaker 26: They were only there to explain away the goodness in
- 1:26:19Speaker 26: pursuit of their agenda.
- 1:26:21Speaker 8: As the passage ends, the Pharisees.
- 1:26:23Speaker 26: Went out and immediately held counsel against him, how to
- 1:26:26Speaker 26: destroy him. I sat there in church, and I thought,
- 1:26:31Speaker 26: our press are just like these Pharisees. Not all of you,
- 1:26:36Speaker 26: not all of you, but the legacy Trump hating press,
- 1:26:42Speaker 26: your politically motivated animus for President Trump, nearly completely blinds
- 1:26:47Speaker 26: you from the brilliance of our American warriors. The Pharisees
- 1:26:52Speaker 26: scrutinized every good act in order to find a violation,
- 1:26:57Speaker 26: only looking for the next negative. The hardened hearts of
- 1:27:03Speaker 26: our press are calibrated only to impugne. I would ask
- 1:27:07Speaker 26: you to open your eyes to the goodness the historic
- 1:27:12Speaker 26: success of our troops, the courage of this president, and
- 1:27:15Speaker 26: this historic moment for a deal that could end the
- 1:27:19Speaker 26: Iranian nuclear threat.
- 1:27:21Speaker 2: All right, So there you go, h and Hegseth goes on,
- 1:27:25Speaker 2: and it is it's it's we're on a line, and
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: it is a it's really it's a difficult situation. But
- 1:27:34Speaker 2: he is. If if you are listening to what Heckseth
- 1:27:38Speaker 2: is saying, I mean, this is basically a holy war
- 1:27:41Speaker 2: is what we're involved in now. And I'm not sure
- 1:27:44Speaker 2: that's what Trump wants, but that's certainly the language that
- 1:27:47Speaker 2: Hexseth is using. And when you've got the War Secretary
- 1:27:50Speaker 2: quoting from the Bible on a regular basis and bringing
- 1:27:53Speaker 2: up this sort of imagery, how could you? How could
- 1:27:56Speaker 2: you not see that? Let's go to Gainesville, Georgia. Doug
- 1:28:00Speaker 2: is on the line, Hi, Doug, what say you?
- 1:28:04Speaker 16: Well, what I say is that, first of all, Hexcess
- 1:28:06Speaker 16: wasn't talking about the Iranians as the Farsi. He was
- 1:28:10Speaker 16: equating the United States a mass media as the Parsias,
- 1:28:17Speaker 16: and so that's one thing we need to clear up.
- 1:28:19Speaker 16: But I don't see any problem in making this a
- 1:28:22Speaker 16: clear fight of a holy war. These people for forty
- 1:28:27Speaker 16: seven years have been chanting death to America. They based
- 1:28:30Speaker 16: it on their religion. You can go online and see
- 1:28:35Speaker 16: Oman or oh whatever. They're called their leaders over and
- 1:28:38Speaker 16: over again talking about taking the Christians out. They're doing
- 1:28:42Speaker 16: it throughout Europe. Now let's put in the caveat. We
- 1:28:45Speaker 16: always have to say, well, it's not all Muslims, it's
- 1:28:48Speaker 16: not all Muslims. But let me tell you, I don't
- 1:28:51Speaker 16: hear any Muslims talking about being patriotic and saying I'm
- 1:28:56Speaker 16: not that kind of a Muslim. I'm a good Muslim.
- 1:28:58Speaker 16: No God, more than ever, somebody says to me, you
- 1:29:03Speaker 16: know what your Islam, I'm a phobia. I go, yeah,
- 1:29:06Speaker 16: I'm phobia for sure, because I have a very strong
- 1:29:09Speaker 16: sense of survival. And when people say they want me
- 1:29:12Speaker 16: dead because I'm a Christian and we've seen them doing
- 1:29:15Speaker 16: it around the world, then I'm ready to fight back.
- 1:29:18Speaker 16: So yeah, let us not soft pedal dis If we
- 1:29:21Speaker 16: need to call it a holy war, let's go for it.
- 1:29:24Speaker 6: Man.
- 1:29:24Speaker 16: I've got no problem with it. So hey, by the way,
- 1:29:28Speaker 16: I always love you.
- 1:29:29Speaker 19: You are you.
- 1:29:30Speaker 16: You know what, I don't even miss Rush Limbaugh anymore.
- 1:29:33Speaker 16: You just do it so well.
- 1:29:35Speaker 2: Well, well, thank you for that, Doug, and I appreciate it.
- 1:29:37Speaker 2: We do, Miss Rush, I miss Rush. But I want
- 1:29:40Speaker 2: to go back to your to your point here. I
- 1:29:43Speaker 2: hear what you're saying. But if we if this is
- 1:29:46Speaker 2: a holy war, then that needs to be explained to
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: the American people because right now, I'm not sure anybody
- 1:29:51Speaker 2: really understands why we're fighting over there. And if that's
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: the issue, if this administration has decided now is the
- 1:29:58Speaker 2: time to put a stop to the clear and president
- 1:30:00Speaker 2: danger which is Islam. Okay, well, let's have that conversation.
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: But I don't think that. I don't think that's what
- 1:30:07Speaker 2: Trump is wanting here. I mean, may be what Hank
- 1:30:10Speaker 2: Seth wants, but I don't know if that's necessarily what
- 1:30:13Speaker 2: Trump wants. So, I mean, we'll see how it goes,
- 1:30:16Speaker 2: but that could be that is not going to be
- 1:30:19Speaker 2: resolved in the next couple of weeks. If we're involved
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: in a holy.
- 1:30:22Speaker 16: War, I think it's I don't think here's what I'm saying.
- 1:30:26Speaker 16: I don't think it's terrible to say it's a holy war.
- 1:30:29Speaker 16: To me that secondary. Of course, let's stop their aggression.
- 1:30:34Speaker 16: But I don't think we should feel bad about saying that.
- 1:30:37Speaker 16: This has heavy leanings towards the Holy war. We want
- 1:30:41Speaker 16: regime change. We do not want these these thugs who
- 1:30:46Speaker 16: are running that country a theocracy of like a mafia theography.
- 1:30:51Speaker 16: So all I'm saying is, let's don't feel bad about
- 1:30:54Speaker 16: saying it. Let's not make it the primary. No, we
- 1:30:56Speaker 16: let's go out there and go holy war, Holy war,
- 1:30:59Speaker 16: because you know what that's going to do to the left,
- 1:31:01Speaker 16: because they hate religion unless it's you know, they hate
- 1:31:04Speaker 16: anything having to do with Christianity. They love Islam. That's
- 1:31:08Speaker 16: all I'm saying. Don't be afraid to say. There are
- 1:31:11Speaker 16: very strong opinions among Americans. I'm an American who feel that,
- 1:31:17Speaker 16: you know what, if we get rid of this, if
- 1:31:19Speaker 16: we can shut Islam down, if we can put Islam
- 1:31:22Speaker 16: in their place, because they've been they've been riding it.
- 1:31:25Speaker 16: They're the leaders. They're overtaking London, they're overtaking all the
- 1:31:29Speaker 16: small cities in England, France, Germany. I'm sorry they're winning
- 1:31:34Speaker 16: and we're just well, we don't want to anybody's feelings.
- 1:31:37Speaker 2: No, Doug, I hear you, and I hear you. I've
- 1:31:39Speaker 2: got to I've got all break here, so we're going
- 1:31:41Speaker 2: to cut you off. But I hear what you're saying.
- 1:31:43Speaker 2: And I've said everything that you've just said on this
- 1:31:45Speaker 2: program multiple times over the over the years. Again, I
- 1:31:50Speaker 2: think the administration just needs to be honest with folks.
- 1:31:52Speaker 2: If that's what this really is, a holy war. I
- 1:31:55Speaker 2: got to take a break. We'll be right back. Zil
- 1:32:07Speaker 2: and I find this fascinating. I'm looking at the video
- 1:32:10Speaker 2: and we're gonna be posting this over on the social media's.
- 1:32:14Speaker 2: But I and the Intern was actually given an exclusive
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: tour into the innards of the Wiener Mobile.
- 1:32:22Speaker 8: Yes, he did. It's very it's very cool in there.
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: Actually, it's really very pleasant. It's chilly. Yes, this dog
- 1:32:29Speaker 2: was very chilly, and I was. It looked very roomy.
- 1:32:35Speaker 8: Yeah, it looks like a sprinter van almost got like
- 1:32:37Speaker 8: six seats in there.
- 1:32:40Speaker 2: As a hot dog gets right there. I don't know
- 1:32:41Speaker 2: if that's like you know, most people like when you
- 1:32:43Speaker 2: you have the you know, the the the emergency things
- 1:32:47Speaker 2: that pop out of the steering wheel, the cushions. I
- 1:32:50Speaker 2: guess in this case, it's a giant hot dog.
- 1:32:53Speaker 8: Yeah. And also if you if you notice in the
- 1:32:55Speaker 8: video that he sent us the keys were still in
- 1:32:58Speaker 8: the in the hot dog.
- 1:32:59Speaker 2: Truck, I'd have jumped in the seat. Yeah, we'd have
- 1:33:01Speaker 2: gone for as. It's a missed opportunity. But again I
- 1:33:05Speaker 2: was I guess though with the with the emergency cushions,
- 1:33:08Speaker 2: if it wasn't hot dog, it might impale you, So
- 1:33:10Speaker 2: that probably they probably have to rethink fas good point. Also,
- 1:33:14Speaker 2: do you knows there was a it had a sun roof.
- 1:33:19Speaker 8: Yeah, this thing has everything.
- 1:33:20Speaker 2: I'm impressed.
- 1:33:21Speaker 8: I'm wondering how they clean these hot dog truck? Is
- 1:33:24Speaker 8: it like like firefighters? Do they have to do a
- 1:33:26Speaker 8: daily daily clin get.
- 1:33:28Speaker 2: A bunch of cheerleaders out there? That would cause an
- 1:33:33Speaker 2: accident I think on the highway. But nineteen thirty six,
- 1:33:37Speaker 2: that was the very first time the Wienermobile, and it's
- 1:33:40Speaker 2: brought miles and miles of smiles to kids of all ages.
- 1:33:44Speaker 2: I would add grown ups to that as well. So anyway,
- 1:33:47Speaker 2: welcome to Memphis, hanging tylerybody. Congressman David Costaff coming up back,
- 1:34:09Speaker 2: all right, welcome back, everybody. It is the Tom Sterens
- 1:34:12Speaker 2: Radio Show. Happy to have you with us today. I
- 1:34:15Speaker 2: want to go right away to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker
- 1:34:18Speaker 2: line and s hello to our good friend from Tennessee,
- 1:34:20Speaker 2: my Congressman David Kustof. Congressman, I hope you're doing well today.
- 1:34:27Speaker 7: Thank you for having me on. It's it's never dune
- 1:34:29Speaker 7: in Washington, d C.
- 1:34:31Speaker 2: Well to say the least. And by the way, we
- 1:34:35Speaker 2: do have a little bit of a breaking news to
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: share from the White House where apparently a guy trying
- 1:34:39Speaker 2: to jump the fence and a Secret Service agent was injured,
- 1:34:44Speaker 2: the guy taking into custody. But a little bit of
- 1:34:46Speaker 2: a hullabaloo there to your point of all sorts of
- 1:34:49Speaker 2: crazy things are happening in Washington, you know, Congressman, I
- 1:34:52Speaker 2: understand that you guys just voted on this, this effort
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: to extend what many are calling amn Steed to the
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: Haitian illegal immigrants, and our numbers are what seven Republicans
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: joined with the Gems on this.
- 1:35:09Speaker 7: Actually, Todd, I think it was ten. To your point,
- 1:35:12Speaker 7: the vote just happened within the last fifteen minutes. I
- 1:35:16Speaker 7: voted against it. The vote in favor was two d
- 1:35:22Speaker 7: and twenty four yes, two to four. Know, so the
- 1:35:25Speaker 7: bill passes. And I was looking at the at the
- 1:35:31Speaker 7: vote total board as the vote was taking place. I
- 1:35:34Speaker 7: think there were ten Republicans and maybe one independent that
- 1:35:38Speaker 7: voted in favor. So it did pass the House of Representatives.
- 1:35:43Speaker 7: I can't imagine that this faces a vote or gets
- 1:35:48Speaker 7: a vote in the United States Senate. To your point,
- 1:35:51Speaker 7: Mark Wayne Mullin, who's the new DHS secretary, said that
- 1:35:56Speaker 7: this process that the Haitians were given under an or
- 1:36:00Speaker 7: the TPS or Tipperary Particular Service status rather was meant
- 1:36:05Speaker 7: to be temporary. It certainly was not meant to be
- 1:36:08Speaker 7: extended over and over and over again. But it did
- 1:36:12Speaker 7: pass the House of Representatives just in the last fifteen
- 1:36:15Speaker 7: or twenty minutes by voted two twenty four to two
- 1:36:18Speaker 7: O four.
- 1:36:19Speaker 2: All right, well that's some that's some breaking news. Then
- 1:36:21Speaker 2: and again, it's just so frustrating to see. And I
- 1:36:25Speaker 2: get it a lot of these lawmakers may live in
- 1:36:27Speaker 2: districts where that is a big issue, but the reality
- 1:36:31Speaker 2: is that really flies in the face of the president's agenda,
- 1:36:35Speaker 2: especially in a time you know we're getting close to
- 1:36:37Speaker 2: the midterms and you know people are getting nervous that
- 1:36:41Speaker 2: the president's agenda is not being advanced.
- 1:36:45Speaker 7: Well, Todd, let me take it one step further. I
- 1:36:48Speaker 7: mean we were we were talking substance. I'll talk process
- 1:36:51Speaker 7: with you for just a moment. You know, the Speaker
- 1:36:54Speaker 7: of the House and the Majority leader is tiede what
- 1:36:58Speaker 7: gets voted on in the House of represent and what
- 1:37:01Speaker 7: doesn't get voted on. There's one way around that that
- 1:37:05Speaker 7: the minority can use, and that's what's called a discharge petition.
- 1:37:09Speaker 7: And so if there are two hundred and eighteen members
- 1:37:12Speaker 7: of Congress that sign a discharge petition, that forces a
- 1:37:16Speaker 7: vote on something, usually something minority led. And in this case,
- 1:37:23Speaker 7: there were all the Democrats that signed the discharge petition
- 1:37:26Speaker 7: to force the vote, and there were several Republicans that
- 1:37:30Speaker 7: joined with the Democrats to force a vote on this.
- 1:37:33Speaker 7: If it had been up to Mike Johnson and Steve's
- 1:37:36Speaker 7: Police to speak of the House and the Majority leader,
- 1:37:39Speaker 7: this would not have come up for a vote. But
- 1:37:41Speaker 7: some of our colleagues joined with the Democrats. They took
- 1:37:45Speaker 7: the floor away from the majority, gave it to the minority,
- 1:37:47Speaker 7: and we voted on what we just voted on.
- 1:37:51Speaker 2: Congressman, I think I understood. Look, I mean, if we're
- 1:37:54Speaker 2: going to get into the nitty gritty, I can understand
- 1:37:56Speaker 2: why they did what they did, you know, talking about
- 1:37:58Speaker 2: you know, reaching across the al of the problem here
- 1:38:00Speaker 2: is the Democrats never compromise, They never work across the
- 1:38:05Speaker 2: aisle on the big, big issues of the day, and
- 1:38:08Speaker 2: I think it gives it really puts the Republicans in
- 1:38:11Speaker 2: a difficult position, especially when it comes time for re election,
- 1:38:15Speaker 2: which is just you know, we're moving into that time
- 1:38:18Speaker 2: right now. And again I hope that people have short
- 1:38:22Speaker 2: term memory, you know issues, but because otherwise this is
- 1:38:27Speaker 2: going to impact I think some voters out there who say,
- 1:38:31Speaker 2: what is the point of voting for Republicans, Well, look.
- 1:38:35Speaker 7: I understand the criticism, and we shouldn't have voted on
- 1:38:38Speaker 7: this in the first place. We shouldn't have had our
- 1:38:41Speaker 7: colleagues they join with the Democrats to force this vote.
- 1:38:47Speaker 7: It won't get anywhere in the United States Senate. But
- 1:38:51Speaker 7: the fact of the matter is we had this vote.
- 1:38:54Speaker 7: We've done a lot of good things under President Trump
- 1:38:57Speaker 7: and with his leadership, and we've got obviously what seven
- 1:39:01Speaker 7: more months ago before the November election, and There're gonna
- 1:39:04Speaker 7: be a lot of issues where we're gonna have to
- 1:39:07Speaker 7: put our big boy, big girl pants on and take
- 1:39:10Speaker 7: these boats that the people of this country wanted us
- 1:39:14Speaker 7: to take and the positions they wanted us to uphold
- 1:39:17Speaker 7: from the November twenty twenty four election.
- 1:39:19Speaker 2: Congressman, I'm curious. We haven't heard a lot of scottle
- 1:39:22Speaker 2: but about the Save America Act. We know it has
- 1:39:25Speaker 2: hung up in the Senate of the Majority leader John
- 1:39:28Speaker 2: Thne pretty clear that the filibuster will not be nuked.
- 1:39:32Speaker 2: There will not be a standing talking filibuster. And then,
- 1:39:35Speaker 2: I believe yesterday he went before the cameras and he said, well,
- 1:39:40Speaker 2: you know, even if we wanted to do something now,
- 1:39:42Speaker 2: we just don't have the time, which is what I
- 1:39:45Speaker 2: was sounding the alarm last March in twenty twenty five,
- 1:39:49Speaker 2: and I said, folks, you better start watching the clock
- 1:39:52Speaker 2: here and the calendar because that is going to be
- 1:39:55Speaker 2: an issue. And sure enough, here we are, and well
- 1:39:57Speaker 2: it looks like it's going to become an issue.
- 1:40:01Speaker 7: So, by the way, Todd, the President of the United States,
- 1:40:05Speaker 7: said very clearly, the bill is called the Save America Act.
- 1:40:08Speaker 7: There's some people who call the Save Act. It's to
- 1:40:10Speaker 7: Save America Act. I was honored to fly back with
- 1:40:14Speaker 7: him on at flew up with them on Air Force one,
- 1:40:16Speaker 7: and flew back with him on their first one to
- 1:40:18Speaker 7: two Memphis too, and from Memphis when he was there
- 1:40:20Speaker 7: for the Memphis States Task Force roundtable. He was very
- 1:40:24Speaker 7: clear it's the Save America Act. We had voted on
- 1:40:27Speaker 7: this in the House of Representatives at least twice. It
- 1:40:32Speaker 7: has passed the House of Representatives twice. I do hear
- 1:40:35Speaker 7: from my constituents in West Tennessee that is pretty important
- 1:40:39Speaker 7: to them that they want to make sure that we
- 1:40:41Speaker 7: have election integrity across the nation. They're actually, by the way,
- 1:40:45Speaker 7: they're pretty satisfied with the way we conduct elections in
- 1:40:48Speaker 7: Tennessee because one thing in Tennessee is when you go vote,
- 1:40:53Speaker 7: you do have to show a photo aging, which is
- 1:40:55Speaker 7: part of the Save America Act. I think in order
- 1:40:59Speaker 7: for to get done in the Senate, it's probably the
- 1:41:02Speaker 7: Save America to Act. It is probably going to be
- 1:41:04Speaker 7: attached to something that has to be voted on, whether
- 1:41:09Speaker 7: that's the National Defense Authorization Act or some appropriation bill
- 1:41:14Speaker 7: or something.
- 1:41:14Speaker 5: It's got to be.
- 1:41:17Speaker 7: With a hand of the Senate is forced if you
- 1:41:20Speaker 7: will to take that vote.
- 1:41:22Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting you mentioned that yesterday or early
- 1:41:25Speaker 2: voting started in Tennessee and I went down to my
- 1:41:29Speaker 2: little where I go and vote in Germantown, and sure enough,
- 1:41:33Speaker 2: walk in, I know every single person in that room,
- 1:41:37Speaker 2: and the first person they say, mister Stearns, we have
- 1:41:39Speaker 2: to see your ID police And I love that, you know,
- 1:41:42Speaker 2: I think that's great. And then I asked for a
- 1:41:45Speaker 2: paper ballot, and I think that irritates people, but I
- 1:41:48Speaker 2: always want to I don't trust the machines. I want
- 1:41:50Speaker 2: to be able to circle it in myself. But to
- 1:41:52Speaker 2: your point, you know, is that they want to make
- 1:41:55Speaker 2: sure that I am who I say I am. And
- 1:41:57Speaker 2: I think that's a very reasonable thing. I think that
- 1:42:01Speaker 2: is a thing that every single person in this country
- 1:42:04Speaker 2: ought to be able to do.
- 1:42:06Speaker 13: Todd.
- 1:42:06Speaker 7: If you were getting on an airplane, they would the
- 1:42:10Speaker 7: TSA agents would demand to see your photo ID. If
- 1:42:13Speaker 7: you were going to buy an alcoholic beverage at some
- 1:42:16Speaker 7: restaurant in Memphis or Germantown, they would cark you. You
- 1:42:21Speaker 7: would need to show that you are who you are.
- 1:42:24Speaker 7: If you were going to open up a bank account anywhere,
- 1:42:26Speaker 7: anywhere you would have to show a photo ID. It's
- 1:42:30Speaker 7: a safeguard, it's not intrusive. It is something that I
- 1:42:35Speaker 7: think most people expect in this day and age, and
- 1:42:39Speaker 7: again it goes to protect the integrity of our elections
- 1:42:44Speaker 7: by showing a photo ID. And that's what the that's
- 1:42:46Speaker 7: one of the things that to Save America Act requires.
- 1:42:49Speaker 2: Congressman David Kustolf from Tennessee, My congressman is joining us
- 1:42:53Speaker 2: on our Patriot Mobile to news Maker Line today. You know, Congressman, tonight,
- 1:42:57Speaker 2: we're going to be interviewing Chad Bianco, who is running
- 1:42:59Speaker 2: for a gut in California. There's some brand new polling
- 1:43:02Speaker 2: data out from California Emerson Poll and it shows that
- 1:43:06Speaker 2: Steve Hilton and Bianco are the are currently leading in
- 1:43:10Speaker 2: the polls, which is rather extraordinary. And I mean, if
- 1:43:12Speaker 2: these numbers hold, you would have the two people in
- 1:43:16Speaker 2: the general election would actually be the Republicans running against
- 1:43:19Speaker 2: each other in the jungeral primary. Of course, all the
- 1:43:22Speaker 2: scandal with Swallowell and all that kind of stuff, But
- 1:43:25Speaker 2: the point of the question is this. It just seems
- 1:43:28Speaker 2: to me and CNN had some polling data out yesterday
- 1:43:31Speaker 2: that Democrats are still four points behind the Republicans. I
- 1:43:35Speaker 2: think the Republicans have a good shot of actually doing
- 1:43:39Speaker 2: quite well in the midterms if we actually deliver on
- 1:43:44Speaker 2: more of the president's agenda. What are you hearing from
- 1:43:47Speaker 2: your constituents in West Tennessee.
- 1:43:51Speaker 7: So my constituents in West Tennessee they want us to
- 1:43:55Speaker 7: They want to stack like the Republicans, and they know
- 1:43:58Speaker 7: you raised the point a moment ago why the Democrats
- 1:44:01Speaker 7: stick together and Republicans don't. I hear that, I hear concerns.
- 1:44:08Speaker 7: You know that people voted for the president they want
- 1:44:11Speaker 7: to see more of his agenda enacted. I will say that,
- 1:44:14Speaker 7: And actually, Todd, I don't think he gets enough credit
- 1:44:16Speaker 7: for this, because I'm convinced that a lot of Donald
- 1:44:21Speaker 7: Trump voters one of their maybe their top priority was
- 1:44:25Speaker 7: securing the southern border, and he did it. He did
- 1:44:29Speaker 7: it in the first few months after he went into
- 1:44:32Speaker 7: office in January twenty twenty five. He does not get
- 1:44:35Speaker 7: enough credit for that. And I do when I'm out
- 1:44:38Speaker 7: at Mikeawanna's clubs and my farm bureaus and everywhere I speak,
- 1:44:43Speaker 7: I remind people that, you know, during the Biden years,
- 1:44:46Speaker 7: we were seeing these thousands and thousands of migrations, unlawful
- 1:44:51Speaker 7: migration each and every month under Biden, not to stopped
- 1:44:55Speaker 7: under President Trump because he did what the people asked
- 1:44:58Speaker 7: him to do. So part of it is people they
- 1:45:03Speaker 7: do have they got concerned about the way the country
- 1:45:05Speaker 7: is doing. Part of it is it is my job
- 1:45:08Speaker 7: to remind them what we've accomplished in these in this
- 1:45:12Speaker 7: first year and three months of the Donald Trump administration.
- 1:45:17Speaker 2: All right, well, Congressman, we always appreciate you joining us,
- 1:45:20Speaker 2: and know you're a busy guy getting ready for the
- 1:45:23Speaker 2: big reelection. I mean, you're up for reelection and I
- 1:45:27Speaker 2: see you making all the rubber chicken dinners out there.
- 1:45:29Speaker 2: I don't know how you guys keep up the pace.
- 1:45:32Speaker 7: You know what, That is part of the job. Our
- 1:45:35Speaker 7: founding fathers, they wanted the members of the House of
- 1:45:39Speaker 7: Representatives to stay close to the people. And I think
- 1:45:42Speaker 7: if you do the job effectively, you're out there visiting
- 1:45:45Speaker 7: with with your constituents. And I've got a big territory,
- 1:45:49Speaker 7: twenty counties in the eighth Congressional District of Tennessee. But
- 1:45:52Speaker 7: it's an honor, and you know that makes me a
- 1:45:54Speaker 7: better legislator By not only telling them what's going on
- 1:45:58Speaker 7: in Washington, d C. But importantly Todd to listen to
- 1:46:02Speaker 7: them about what's on their mind and what their concerns are.
- 1:46:05Speaker 2: All right, well, congress soon, we're gonna let you. We're
- 1:46:07Speaker 2: gonna leave it there, and again, we always appreciate you
- 1:46:10Speaker 2: coming on the program, and we wish you were here
- 1:46:13Speaker 2: in Memphis because we've got you know, if you heard
- 1:46:15Speaker 2: what we've had, the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile and it is
- 1:46:17Speaker 2: moving through your congressional district today.
- 1:46:20Speaker 7: Well, Todd, I encourage everybody there if they eat hot dogs.
- 1:46:25Speaker 2: All beef, it's kosher.
- 1:46:28Speaker 7: Well the all beefer, you're just tasting hot dogs.
- 1:46:32Speaker 2: No, you know what, you know, you're absolutely right about that.
- 1:46:35Speaker 2: I'm an all beef. I'm an all beef guy as well,
- 1:46:37Speaker 2: so we keep it kosher here on the Tod Sterns
- 1:46:40Speaker 2: Radio Show. All right, congressman, all right, good talking to you.
- 1:46:49Speaker 2: All right, it's wow. So here here's the deal, folks,
- 1:46:54Speaker 2: this is we We never plan these things out, so
- 1:46:57Speaker 2: it just so. But who knew that, you know, Oscar
- 1:47:00Speaker 2: Meyer Wieners would be such a hot topic here on
- 1:47:03Speaker 2: the program. You just never know. Okay, before we go
- 1:47:06Speaker 2: to break. Let's go to We'll catch a call. Here
- 1:47:09Speaker 2: a bill og Bill in Cordova, Tennessee, listening to us
- 1:47:13Speaker 2: on k W A M O G. Bill. What's going on?
- 1:47:17Speaker 20: Hey, my friend Todd. It's good to be on the
- 1:47:19Speaker 20: show again. Thanks for picking me up. I appreciate that
- 1:47:23Speaker 20: I was calling because I'm sensing a little bit of
- 1:47:26Speaker 20: urgency with this upcoming election. I had to call the
- 1:47:31Speaker 20: Election Commission to find out when the election was, and
- 1:47:35Speaker 20: nobody seems to know. I've asked people, you know when
- 1:47:38Speaker 20: if they know when the primary is, and nobody knows.
- 1:47:40Speaker 20: It's May fifth. We need to do a better job
- 1:47:43Speaker 20: as a Republican party, the Shelby County Republican Party, the
- 1:47:50Speaker 20: East Memphis Shelby County Republican Party group, all of those
- 1:47:54Speaker 20: groups needs to do a better job of getting Republicans
- 1:47:57Speaker 20: out to vote and letting them know when the election is.
- 1:48:00Speaker 20: Because if you don't know when to vote, you're not
- 1:48:03Speaker 20: going to vote. And that's just the bottom line. And
- 1:48:06Speaker 20: I think that's been a big part of our problem
- 1:48:08Speaker 20: over the last few years. And I haven't even gotten
- 1:48:11Speaker 20: a sample ballot yet and the elections what a week
- 1:48:14Speaker 20: and a half away.
- 1:48:16Speaker 2: Yeah, there is an election coming up, and yeah, it's true.
- 1:48:20Speaker 2: It's weird, you know, depending on where you are in
- 1:48:23Speaker 2: the nation, and everybody's got their own dates. And I
- 1:48:26Speaker 2: do think that the political parties do need to do
- 1:48:29Speaker 2: a better job of getting that information out there to folks.
- 1:48:32Speaker 2: I think also, you know, we have a responsibility as
- 1:48:34Speaker 2: good citizens. You know, I actually had to look all
- 1:48:37Speaker 2: that stuff up yesterday online. So you have to go
- 1:48:40Speaker 2: to the you know, the go to the website and
- 1:48:41Speaker 2: find out when all the elections are because you don't
- 1:48:44Speaker 2: want to miss one. But I think it's a valid point.
- 1:48:46Speaker 2: You know, we heard about this. Somebody called it yesterday
- 1:48:49Speaker 2: day before yesterday from Georgia and they said one of
- 1:48:52Speaker 2: the things about the vice president and why there was
- 1:48:54Speaker 2: such a small crowd is that they said nobody really
- 1:48:57Speaker 2: advertised it. So if you're not going to get the
- 1:48:59Speaker 2: advertised or the marketing out there, yeah, I can see
- 1:49:03Speaker 2: why people may not go and vote.
- 1:49:06Speaker 20: I agree, And we've got to do a better job
- 1:49:08Speaker 20: of that.
- 1:49:09Speaker 13: We we have.
- 1:49:10Speaker 20: To get off our butts. And but I'm not going
- 1:49:12Speaker 20: to use the word I started to use, But you
- 1:49:14Speaker 20: can extrapolate.
- 1:49:16Speaker 2: You know, It's okay. You can say darry Air on
- 1:49:18Speaker 2: the end show. Yeah, that is that's it. That's no
- 1:49:23Speaker 2: b O G. Bill. You're absolutely right, all right, my
- 1:49:26Speaker 2: good friend. Thanks for calling. Good to hear from you.
- 1:49:29Speaker 6: I got one more little quick thing.

- 1:49:45Speaker 20: I just had to throw that in because it's.
- 1:49:47Speaker 2: Important, you know, it's important. I'm glad you were able
- 1:49:50Speaker 2: to come out of the hot dog clause up there.

- 1:50:17Speaker 2: slaw dogs away from a cardior cardiac arrest. But it
- 1:50:22Speaker 2: would be worth it if you gotta go. That's the
- 1:50:24Speaker 2: way to go, you know what I mean.

- 1:50:28Speaker 2: All right, folks, hanging tight. We will be right back, Dylan.

- 1:50:49Speaker 8: So it's the one that's kind of curving upwards.
- 1:50:51Speaker 2: I think, Okay, I'm just gonna set that asign.
- 1:50:55Speaker 8: You're actually giving that one away, so you can't do that.
