  Speaker 2: was somebody trying to make a somebody trying to make

  Speaker 2: a free throw? Was this Miami when the entire men's

  Speaker 3: Ah, all that for nothing.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: It was a little distracting or a lot distracting. You know,

  Speaker 2: You know what it is? Cheryl are sweet, matronly the
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: she is the the the grandma of the station. She's
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: getting pretty ferocious. I've noticed it was like where she

  Speaker 2: came in this morning and it's like, good morning, DoD,
• 2:54

• 3:11
  Speaker 3: seven like papers online.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I don't have to write it out.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Oh for crying out, for our sakes, for the office sake,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: you want to participate here? The game does start in
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: like five minutes.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, we're gonna get I'm gonna get this done. I'm
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: gonna get this done. By the way, we have a
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: man just say. We have a great line up today.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Kathy Lee Gifford is going to be with us today.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be a great conversation. Also our good buddy
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: John Lott and Senator Tommy Tubberville. He and I made
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: some headlines. We went a little viral earlier this week
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: over our Newsmax interview, and many of you love that
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: interview so much we wanted to have him join us
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: on the radio show for a longer form edition as
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: he warns America about the rise of Islam. But I
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: want to start with what happened to our good friend,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the great governor of Arkansas. Is that
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the natural state? I think it's the natural state. Now,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to tell you right out of the gate.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty I'm pretty disturbed by all of this. So
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: the governor was going to lunch at a fancy little
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: it's not really a fancy wrestling You had to have
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: the French restaurants what do you call them, the patisseries,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: if you will. And so anyway, she was going to
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: one of these places in Little Rock, Arkansas. And it's
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: a weird name. It's the the Croissanteria. It's very strange.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: It's kind of a spoof off of the Croissolm. And
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I'll say something about that in just a moment. So
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the governor and a couple of her girlfriend's moms, they
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: all decided, you know what, let's go have just say
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: it's a lady's place. I guess I don't want to
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: offend any of the I don't want to offend anybody's sensibilities.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: But they're not serving cheeseburgers and you know, nachos there, right,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: This is this is sort of like an upscale place
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: that ladies would like to go. And I'm not I'm
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: not trying to stereotype anybody, ladies and gays. Can we
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: say that? Because because there is a gay component here,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: how many people can I possibly trigger in the first
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: five minutes of this program today we are about to
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: find out. So anyway, she goes there and she's got
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: her security team and they're sitting down in their order.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know what.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know what they ordered, but anyway, it was
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: it was just an it was a lunch for moms
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: just to get away from everything. And so the governor
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: had her state police detail, and so they were served
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: their meals and then they paid for the meals, and
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: then all hellbro clues. So the owner of the restaurant
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: comes over to the security detail and says she's got
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: to go. I guess somebody figured out that that was
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Governor Sarah Sanders, and the owner of the restaurant and
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Little Rock, Arkansas said she's got to go, and she's
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: got to go now. So then the staff gets involved
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: and they get all huffy, and I'm just going to
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: tell you that a couple of them are actually members
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: of the LGBT community, and one of the gay dudes
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: went on his social media page and just ripped Governor Sanders.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I'll get to that in just a moment, but the
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: owner said that her staff felt threatened and uncomfortable because
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: of the governor's politics. Now, the gay staffer wrote about
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: this on his Facebook page, and it's sort of you
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: can read all of this at Todd Sturne dot com.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: By then, we've got the full story, we've got Governor
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: hockeyby statement, we've got the restaurant owner's statement, and i'd
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: encourage you to go and read the story at Todd
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Stearns dot com. So one of the gay stanfers is
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: just overjoyed because he's he feels emboldened because he got
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: the governor kicked out of the restaurant, and here's what
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: he wrote. No amount of evil you send our way
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: can ever take our smiles away. I'm proud AF to
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: work here, I'm proud AF to be kay, and I'm
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: proud af to be ur keyans in. I'll teach you
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: you had a row. I just threw that in. He
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: didn't write that. I was in the moment. So anyway,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: the restaurant releases a lengthy statement saying they were surprised
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: and uncertain how best to respond when the governor showed up. Well,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: let me give you a clue. Darling. What you do
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: is say, welcome to the croissant joint. Here's a menu.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: What would you like to drink one of those little
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: fruity drinks with the old umberella. Sure we could do
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: that for you. Welcome. I mean, that's what I would do.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: But that's not what happened. I want to read the
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: statement here. This was provided a sebious muse and here's
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: what the owner said. As business owners and members of
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: this community, we recognize that any course of action carried consequences.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Allowing her to stay risk being perceived as a lack
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: of support for the community that makes up the majority
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: of our team, as well as their families and friends
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and lovers. I just threw that in there. Conversely, asking
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: her to leave could be viewed as denying service based
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: on differing beliefs. Oh, oh, I see, it was a quondring.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: She didn't know what to do. It was she was
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: at a moral fork in the road. The owner decided, yeah,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: it's better not offending the gays. So we're gonna make
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Howckeby go. And that's what happened. Ultimately, reading back from
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: the statement, I'm gonna read the long it was just
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: outrageously long. Ultimately, we made the decision to support our
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: employees and guests who expressed they were uncomfortable. Now, as
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: they were leaving, some guy starts screaming, get out of here,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: and then somebody else like gives her the middle finger.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: This is like a this is a fancy little French joint.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: The governor said, our Kansans are known for their hospitality,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: and while the restaurant certainly does not meet that standard.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: My administration, we'll focus on lifting our Kansans up, not
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: tearing others down with discrimination and hate.
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: In twenty eighteen, Sarah Sanders was then working as the
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: White House Press Secretary for our great President Donald J. Trump,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: and she and her family, her entire family. They went
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: out to a lovely little restaurant in Lexington, Virginia called
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: the Red hen Many, if you may remember this story,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: and before they could even order, the owner of the
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: restaurant came over and said, you're not welcome here. You
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: will not be served here. And the owner flat out
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: told her it was because of her support of the
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Trump administration and working for Donald J. Trump. Now, I'm
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: just curious to hear your thoughts here. How would you
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: have handled this situation had you been to the restaurant?
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: The governor didn't make a scene, you know, she complied,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: They all got up and they left. I just think
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: every freedom loving patriot in Little Rock, Arkansas needs to
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: spend the weekend manning picket lines outside the Cross Aulteria.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: That's what I think ought to happen. And I'm not one.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I'm not one to boycott, but I'm getting a little
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: bit sick and tired of this nonsense, and I hope
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: you are too. Here's the thing I'm concerned about is
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: what if what if somebody on that staff knows that
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: you are a I don't know conservative. I mean, they
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: could be spitting in your chicken salad. They could be
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know, wiping their butts on with the croissants
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: and then putting it on the plane. We don't know
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: what these people are capable of. I mean, honestly, I
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: would say a good health inspection might be in order
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: just because and look and hear me on this, because
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: of what happened is here. This is why I do
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: not eat out as much as I used to. I
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: normally just make my prepare my meals at home because
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: you just never know, and especially for you know, if
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: you're a recognized person, you never know if that person
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: is going to tamper with your food. This is why,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: for example, when we got the lip balm the other day,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: and I made sure that Dylan tried it first.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: You're so kind for that.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Forgot to tell you about that, but I wanted to
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: make sure that you got a good make sure you're
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: as When you said that your lips stingly, I h
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: oh h oh, that's not good. That's not a good sign.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: How are you feeling, by the way.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: I'm feeling great, all right, good, good, good, all right.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: So so again I'm not one for boycotts, but we've
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: got to start sending a message here. And as a
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: fair warning, if you're wearing a maga hat or something
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: that identifies you as a conservative and you go into
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: a restaurant, you do risk the staff, the weight staff,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: the cooking crew tampering with your meals. It's hampened far
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: too many times. And again I don't want to I
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: don't want to overly frighten people, but I'm just saying
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: so one final thought here, and my recommendation of the
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: governor is next time you're going to a restaurant, you
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: might want to go to a restaurant that serves biscuits
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: instead of croissant a croissant. And the reason why is
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: that Southern hospitality is so much better than the French,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: so much better. So I'm just curious, ladies and gentlemen,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: what would you have done if you'd have been Governor
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Sarah Sanders nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: nine two six. Go to the website, read the story,
• 13:48

• 15:03
  Speaker 2: the phone lines. Say hello to Jerry in Little Rock. Jerry,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I have to imagine a lot of folks are really
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: upset over there. Hello Jerry, Yes, sir, you're on the air. Jerry.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Let's get to it.
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: Oh, this is Jerry from Milwaukee.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, Milwaukee, Jerry, I'm so sorry. All right, Jerry, what's
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: going on?
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: Okay? Yeah? One, if I was the restaurant manager, I
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: would not have kicked her ound specifically, But do they
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: have the right to do that? Yeah? Because look, person, conservatives,
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: maybe not yourself specifically, have said that, you know, if
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: you don't want to sell a wedding cake to a
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: gay couple or a gay person, you don't have to,
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: and you should support the right of the baker to
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: do that. Fine, Okay, if they have the right, then
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: this restaurant has the right to make that choice about
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: Sarah Sanders, and Sarah Sanders should stand up to the
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: people and say, you know what, this restaurant has the
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: right to make that choice. If if a baker has
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: a right to not to sell a wedding cake to
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: a gay couple, this restaurant has a right not to,
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: you know, to decide. I'm not a patron there, It's
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: that simple.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: So so, Jerry, your philosophy is if the You know, again,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: if you're going to force this restaurant to serve conservatives,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: then you're gonna have to force the bakers to make
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: the Christian bakers to make the gay wedding cakes.
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: Well, it's it's about choice. I mean, if someone has
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: a choice as a business owner to do that, you
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: should stand by their choice, even if you don't like
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: who's being discriminated against, even if you support a person who's,
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: you know, a Republican. People have the right to discriminate
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: against someone because they're Republicans.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: All right, Jerry, we got your thought. Let's we're gonna
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: try to work in as many calls as we can here.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Steve in North Carolina, Steve.
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: Bie Todd.
• 17:03
  Speaker 9: My thought on that was, if I was a patron
• 17:06
  Speaker 9: in that restaurant when that happened, no matter where I
• 17:10
  Speaker 9: was at in the process of ordering or eating, I
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: would immediately stand up, walk up to Miss Sarah and
• 17:21
  Speaker 9: say I stand with you. And I would say to
• 17:23
  Speaker 9: the staff, if you don't want her business, you obviously
• 17:28
  Speaker 9: don't want mine either, and I would walk out with
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: Miss Sanderson.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I look, I'm not a big fan of the boycotts,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: but all I'm telling you is I'm getting a little
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: sick and tired of this. And I will say that
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: there is a difference between the bakers not baking a
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: cake based upon their religious beliefs and their deeply held
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: convictions as opposed to a bunch of gay servers who
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: got triggered because Sarah Sanders is a Republican. I think
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: there's a big difference between the two.
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: I think so as well. I noticed that it's one thing. Uh,
• 18:09
  Speaker 9: It's it's one thing as far as a Christian baker
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: refusing a to bake a cake for a homosexual couple.
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: But what if I wanted to go to a Halil
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: butcher and ask for non.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Holy on meat, Well it is it's a great question,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: or or quite frankly, a rack of ribs. I don't
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: think they would be as welcoming. Uh, Steve, I've got

  Speaker 2: Nero and Paul how the Gospel of Grace defeated the
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: ruler of Rome. Kathy Lee Gifford, a legendary TV host
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: and just an incredible author and an all around great lady.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: And Kanty Lee, I didn't realize this, but you're also
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: a Tennesseean Well.
• 20:34
  Speaker 10: No, that is she was born and raised here. But
• 20:37
  Speaker 10: I have a home here.
• 20:38
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I love it. Well, we love the here.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: We count you as it will count you as a
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Tennessee and it's a it's a beautiful state.
• 20:45
  Speaker 11: And beautiful yeah.
• 20:48
  Speaker 10: And it's a culture of kindness here that I needed
• 20:52
  Speaker 10: in my life after forty some years in New York.
• 20:55
  Speaker 10: And then yeah, it's the culture of chaos now up there.
• 20:58
  Speaker 10: And I saw it creeping up over the years, and
• 21:00
  Speaker 10: I went, I don't want to be a part of
• 21:02
  Speaker 10: this anymore.
• 21:02
  Speaker 11: It's toxic to my soul, you know.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: You know, I was watching your interview with Tommy larn
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: just a few days ago and just talking about the view,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: and again it's how you know, it's one thing to
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: be disagreeable, but man, these days people are just downright mean.
• 21:18
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 21:19
  Speaker 11: I don't like the way it's going. I don't.
• 21:20
  Speaker 10: I was on the view many many, many times when
• 21:23
  Speaker 10: Barbara Walter was a friend of mine. She's the reason
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: I joined Regis. That's another story. But I don't want
• 21:29
  Speaker 10: to get political, you know that I'm here to sell. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 21:33
  Speaker 10: so let's lose some time for that. But yeah, I mean,
• 21:35
  Speaker 10: it's just it breaks.
• 21:36
  Speaker 11: My heart really because I know whoopee, I know Joy,
• 21:40
  Speaker 11: I have for years and we always got along.
• 21:42
  Speaker 10: It's fine, and you know, I think we need to
• 21:46
  Speaker 10: agree to disagree and just treat people the way Jesus
• 21:49
  Speaker 10: did with kindness. It's kind of simple. It's the golden rule.
• 21:54
  Speaker 10: Do you want to be screamed at? Do you want
• 21:57
  Speaker 10: to be you know, mocked and criticized your It's just gosh,
• 22:01
  Speaker 10: what's wrong with people?
• 22:03
  Speaker 11: People? It seems to me.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: You know, it's a great point. And to put a
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: bow on this. You know what happened with Sarah Sanders
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: going out for a nice afternoon lunch and being told
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: to leave because this taf got triggered by her politics.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: And of course Sarah is a very gracious lady and god.
• 22:20
  Speaker 11: Oh I love her and I love her father.
• 22:23
  Speaker 10: Yeah, and apparently, by all accounts, she's doing a phenomenal
• 22:27
  Speaker 10: job in Arkansas with education, especially in crime. And yeah,
• 22:32
  Speaker 10: so you know, I don't care what your politics are,
• 22:35
  Speaker 10: I truly don't, but treat people with kindness and dignity.
• 22:40
  Speaker 10: The people that are wrong in this thing are the
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: people that got triggered. Oh my gosh, you know what,
• 22:46
  Speaker 10: are they four years old?
• 22:48
  Speaker 11: Come on? No, you treat every customer exactly the same.
• 22:53
  Speaker 11: But it's just it's just it's it's wrong. That's all
• 22:56
  Speaker 11: I can say.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Can'thy Lee, Doesn't it go back? I mean, you look
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: at all problems that are facing the nation and really
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: the world right now, and it all goes back to
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: a central thing. It's that you've got to get back
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: to the Bible. You've got to get back to the
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: foundations of who we are as a nation, and that
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: foundation is built on Christ. And I think a lot
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: of people, quite frankly, I think we need a good
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: old fashioned revival in this nation.
• 23:21
  Speaker 10: Well, it seems to be happening with the children with
• 23:24
  Speaker 10: kids because they found that the world's way is the
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: wrong way. You know, I had a choice to make
• 23:30
  Speaker 10: years ago when I asked issue with Jesus.
• 23:33
  Speaker 11: Into my heart. It was what are I going to go?
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: The world's way, or I felt like I heard his
• 23:37
  Speaker 10: voice and he said, Kathy, I love you and I
• 23:39
  Speaker 10: want to make something beautiful of your life.
• 23:42
  Speaker 11: Trust me, and I'll make something beautiful of your life.
• 23:45
  Speaker 11: And he has.
• 23:46
  Speaker 10: That doesn't mean I haven't had a lot of trials
• 23:48
  Speaker 10: and tribulations like everybody else. But ultimately the Kingdom wins.
• 23:53
  Speaker 10: And that's basically the point of our new book about
• 23:58
  Speaker 10: and it's the second in a series of ancient evil
• 24:02
  Speaker 10: and living hope. Because people think that there's more evil
• 24:06
  Speaker 10: in the world today, Todd, there is not. Evil is
• 24:08
  Speaker 10: has been there.
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: It was.
• 24:09
  Speaker 10: It was in the garden of Eden, and but we
• 24:12
  Speaker 10: hear more about it now because of cable news. We
• 24:15
  Speaker 10: hear more about it because of our We see it
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: more in our phone phones. Things I wish I'd never seen,
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: but somebody happened to catch it on an on an iPhone.
• 24:22
  Speaker 11: You know.
• 24:23
  Speaker 10: So it's it's you can get your sunses get assaulted.
• 24:27
  Speaker 10: But the evil that we talk about in our first book,
• 24:30
  Speaker 10: Herod and Mary, and our second book now Nero and Paul,
• 24:35
  Speaker 10: it's it's we juxtaposed.
• 24:37
  Speaker 13: The excruciating evil of these different leaders in their day
• 24:43
  Speaker 13: opposite somebody as pure as Mary was God was present
• 24:47
  Speaker 13: in this in her womb, even when Herod was doing
• 24:50
  Speaker 13: his evil.
• 24:51
  Speaker 10: And then with with uh Nero, Nero didn't fiddle while
• 24:55
  Speaker 10: that that's that's not true. You'll learn all kinds of
• 24:57
  Speaker 10: things historically they're that are not accurate because we're very,
• 25:01
  Speaker 10: very careful to be historically not perfect. Nobody's perfect, but
• 25:05
  Speaker 10: we didn't anywhere we think something might not be.
• 25:08
  Speaker 11: We don't know.
• 25:09
  Speaker 10: There's just some question we footnoted so people can make
• 25:12
  Speaker 10: up their own minds. I'm a libertarian at heart in
• 25:15
  Speaker 10: that sense. I want people to use their God given
• 25:18
  Speaker 10: gifts to figure things out.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: I love that. I love that. The name of the book,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: folks Nero and Paul, How the Gospel of Grace Defeated
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: the Ruler of Rome. It is available in bookstores all
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: over the country, and of course you can also get
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: it online. I want to ask you about that process, So,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Kathie Lee, of writing and doing the research, because you're
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: balancing this historical you know, being historically accurate with a
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: narrative that sort of brings you know, first century Rome
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: to life, how did you do that? How difficult was that?
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: Well?
• 25:50
  Speaker 10: I had a co writer, I needed it this time
• 25:52
  Speaker 10: because I couldn't do all the research. He has several
• 25:55
  Speaker 10: PhDs and written a ton of books, and doctor Brian Litvin,
• 25:59
  Speaker 10: and we've written both of these together because I didn't
• 26:03
  Speaker 10: want to take I don't have five years of my
• 26:05
  Speaker 10: life to research these books.
• 26:06
  Speaker 11: You know. It takes a year for me to write them.
• 26:09
  Speaker 10: And I co wrote them with Brian because he did
• 26:11
  Speaker 10: all the heavy lifting. So I want to give him
• 26:13
  Speaker 10: all the credit for that. He's a brilliant scholar. I
• 26:16
  Speaker 10: have studied with brilliant scholars and with the greatest biblical
• 26:20
  Speaker 10: scholars in the world. So people think when I talk
• 26:23
  Speaker 10: about something, they think, oh, I didn't know you were
• 26:25
  Speaker 10: this biblical scholar.
• 26:26
  Speaker 11: No I'm not. I'm not, and I never will be.
• 26:29
  Speaker 10: I've brought out a time to become a scholar about
• 26:31
  Speaker 10: anything except life, you know. And yeah, so our part
• 26:37
  Speaker 10: was how do we make it a thriller? That was
• 26:39
  Speaker 10: my son's ideas. My son got his master's degree at
• 26:43
  Speaker 10: Oxford University in all this kind of stuff, and he's
• 26:46
  Speaker 10: a brilliant, brilliant young man. And I said, oh, yeah,
• 26:50
  Speaker 10: I don't know how to write Wheer's I said. He said, well,
• 26:52
  Speaker 10: that's only because you have never done it before. Mom,
• 26:55
  Speaker 10: you know you can do it.
• 26:56
  Speaker 11: And so we put.
• 26:57
  Speaker 10: Our mutual acts together and uh, the first one was
• 27:02
  Speaker 10: super successful and this one is turning out to be
• 27:06
  Speaker 10: even more.
• 27:06
  Speaker 11: So we're really grateful to everybody.
• 27:09
  Speaker 10: And and I write cinematically. I'm a director, I'm a
• 27:13
  Speaker 10: I'm a performer, I'm an entertainer, so I am I'm
• 27:16
  Speaker 10: a visual person. And so we wanted to write it
• 27:19
  Speaker 10: that to take you back into Nero's world. At the
• 27:23
  Speaker 10: same time that that Paul is is an excruciating agony
• 27:28
  Speaker 10: in one of his you know, rotting, I've been to
• 27:32
  Speaker 10: the cell where he was held in captivity.
• 27:36
  Speaker 11: Uh, it's still there in Rome.
• 27:38
  Speaker 10: It's the same one apparently that at another time Peter
• 27:42
  Speaker 10: was in And so it is just that you can't
• 27:44
  Speaker 10: even imagine years of suffering in this we describe it.
• 27:50
  Speaker 10: It'll make you sick. In our book, we're very honest
• 27:52
  Speaker 10: about things like that. But the point of our book,
• 27:55
  Speaker 10: and I know we're running out of time, is that
• 27:58
  Speaker 10: what happens to people. We're all born babies, and babies
• 28:01
  Speaker 10: come straight from heaven. Weren't perfect when we come out
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: of the mother's womb. We just are we came straight
• 28:07
  Speaker 10: from heaven. I believe that's all my heart. And then
• 28:10
  Speaker 10: the world, you know, creeps in on our lives and
• 28:13
  Speaker 10: then we make different decisions about it.
• 28:15
  Speaker 11: What are we going to do?
• 28:16
  Speaker 10: Herod and Nero and the same that they had this
• 28:19
  Speaker 10: lust for power. Look all over the world today, Todd,
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: we see a lust for power and then a lust
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: to keep it once we get it.
• 28:27
  Speaker 11: And what these these caesars did because.
• 28:30
  Speaker 10: They weren't governed by any other authority than themselves. They
• 28:35
  Speaker 10: were beyond ruthless, they were beyond beast, youal, they were
• 28:39
  Speaker 10: beyond evil. And we go into all the depth of
• 28:43
  Speaker 10: that our story well, I'm not going to give it away.
• 28:45
  Speaker 10: We don't have time, but unbelievable and none of their
• 28:49
  Speaker 10: stories end up right or well, none of them have
• 28:52
  Speaker 10: a good ending, I believe.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Before you're right, our time is quickly rapidly expiring here.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: But I do want to want our listeners to understand
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: here that even though this is a book about Nero
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: and Paul, but the issues they were facing in their
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: own lives are issues that all of us are facing today.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: And I know you cover things like persecution and being
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: resilient and faith and how that resonates in today's world.
• 29:20
  Speaker 10: Well, nobody was more persistent than Paul once he became Paul,
• 29:25
  Speaker 10: after he was Saul, because he said, I'm the chief
• 29:28
  Speaker 10: of sinners, because he had been murdering he thought in
• 29:31
  Speaker 10: a righteous way. He had a zeal for power too,
• 29:34
  Speaker 10: same thing, but a different empire, the empire of the
• 29:37
  Speaker 10: Jews in Israel at the time, and he wanted to
• 29:40
  Speaker 10: be in the Sanhedrin.
• 29:40
  Speaker 11: He wanted to be in the.
• 29:41
  Speaker 10: New Caiaphas the high priest. He had the same lust
• 29:45
  Speaker 10: for power, but he thought it was for God. But
• 29:49
  Speaker 10: he didn't know that he was killing God's children, God's followers.
• 29:54
  Speaker 10: Jesus's followers at that time are called people of the Way.
• 29:59
  Speaker 11: He was the Way, and Saul of Tarsus had this
• 30:04
  Speaker 11: zeal to.
• 30:05
  Speaker 10: Kill those people because he didn't think they were righteous
• 30:08
  Speaker 10: until they found out that that Jesus of Nazareth happened
• 30:12
  Speaker 10: to be the Messiah he claimed to believe in.
• 30:15
  Speaker 11: Who was coming.
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: Eventually he didn't know he had already come, And so
• 30:18
  Speaker 10: then his life changes. And you see the juxtaposition of
• 30:22
  Speaker 10: how both of them then went about their lives. And
• 30:28
  Speaker 10: Nero's known to this day, but not as well known
• 30:31
  Speaker 10: as Paul, and his letters are all over the world
• 30:34
  Speaker 10: for billions of people.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: It's really an incredible story. And I was not familiar
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: with the story of Nero and Paul. And this is
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: such an exciting book, folks, you got to get a
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: copy of it, and it is. It is going to
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: be one of those impactful reads. And Kathie Lee also
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: want to give you a plug for your first book,
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: the first of this series, and tell us the name
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: of that, so folks can get a copy of that
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 30:57
  Speaker 11: Harod and Mary and these are dense historical books.
• 31:01
  Speaker 10: So I did the audio on both of them, and
• 31:04
  Speaker 10: people are loving the audios if they take me four
• 31:06
  Speaker 10: days to record, because I'm an actress at heart too,
• 31:10
  Speaker 10: started out doing that before anything else. So if it
• 31:12
  Speaker 10: seems a little dense and heavy for you, you can
• 31:15
  Speaker 10: get the audio version and I do all the heavy
• 31:17
  Speaker 10: lifting for you on those.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you, I've written not as many
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: books as you, but they've asked me to do the
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: audio version. I thought, you know, it's a talk radio
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: host piece of cake, no problem. I got to tell you, Kathley,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: that's one of the hardest things to do is to
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: do the audio narration. At least it was for me.
• 31:33
  Speaker 10: Yes, I enjoy it when it's a children's book that
• 31:37
  Speaker 10: I'm doing the audio version.
• 31:39
  Speaker 11: These things are hard and I.
• 31:43
  Speaker 10: Work super hard to get them right. You pronounce things properly,
• 31:47
  Speaker 10: say the name of the place is properly. I am
• 31:51
  Speaker 10: a perfectionist that way. I'll get things wrong once in
• 31:53
  Speaker 10: a while, but it's not because I didn't try, you know.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Well, Kathya Lee, thank you for coming on the show,
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: and we'd love to get you back on down the road.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Congratulations on this great, very impactful new book, Nero and Paul,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: how the Gospel of Grace defeated the Ruler of Rome.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Kathy Lee.
• 32:10
  Speaker 11: Thank you God, bless you. Shalom shalom.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: All right, and folks, you'll be able to watch Kathy
• 32:17

  Speaker 2: an effort at it.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: Are you? Are you watching the games right now and
• 35:03

• 35:12
  Speaker 3: you can't really be doing any more of your bracket though.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: I hate to tell you this. The games have already started,
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: so anything that you do right now doesn't really count.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: So if Tennessee doesn't win, I'm done.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: For Yeah, You're you're completely out.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Oh man, that's terrible. Coming up, we're gonna tell the
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: story of afro Man, Dylan. This may be my favorite
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: story of all time.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: I came in today not knowing who Afroman was, and
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: now he's probably my favorite person of all time.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: So coming up, we're gonna We're gonna tell you the
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: story of afro Man and why this guy is a
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: great American hero. And man, does that guy have a fro?
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: I mean it's he kind of reminds me of Cedric
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: the entertainer.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know who that is.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Have you not seen Barber Shop?
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: How old is this show?
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Barber Shop? It was like in the early two thousands. Yes,
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: that's terrible, not too bad.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: I'll have to watch it.
• 36:05
  Speaker 8: Then.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: So we've got Afroman and then a NASCAR driver has
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: been suspended indefinitely. I guess there's a stream he was
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: caught on. I guess what is in a hot mic
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: or you know, they were streaming, he and a bunch
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: of the buddies and they were streaming and they made
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: the guy talked like a gay person. And I don't
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: know what that means, but the allegation is that he
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: talked like a gay person and he has now been
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: suspended indefinitely because of homophobia. We'll get to that story
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: a little bit later on as well. Also, Senator Tommy
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Tubberville is going to join us. Joe Kent has officially
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: made his debut on The Tucker Carlson Show. We're going
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: to play some clips from that as well, coming up
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: in the next hour. You know, it's really interesting about
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Joe Kent. It turns out that he was under an
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: FBI investigation, got wind of the investigation and immediately tendered
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: his resignation. So there's a little bit more. Actually, there's
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: a whole lot more to this than meets the eye.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: But the issue here, and I know Meghan Kelly and
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: all these others are out there saying, well, if the
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: FEDS arrest Joe Kent and Tucker Carlson, then it's on
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: it's war. The issue for me is very simple. You
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: either believe that Donald Trump is telling the truth or
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: you believe that Tucker Carlson and Joe Kent are telling
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: the truth. It's it can't be both. It's one or
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: the other. And all I can tell you is that
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump has been honest with the American people from
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: day one, and I appreciate that. My allegiance is to
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: the United States of America and our commander in chief,
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: and that person is Donald J. Trump. But again, we're
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: going to play some of that audio. Will let you
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: design for yourself. All right, Nine oh one two six
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six is our number. This is
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: the Tod Sterns Show.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: common sense, conservative commentary from Todd Stars.
• 38:33
  Speaker 15: This American.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: And hello everybody. Welcome to hour two of the Big Show.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Great to have you with us today. Write down our
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: telephone number. You will need this if you plan on
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: calling in nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: nine two six. Secretary of State market Rubio. I like
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: that guy, and his stock certainly appears to be rising
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: within Trump world JD Vance. Not so much right now,
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: not so much right now. But Marco Rubio said something
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: the other day that that really hit home for me
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: when it came to this, this conversation, this debate that's
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: being had about about Islam cut thirteen.
• 39:26
  Speaker 16: Ultimately, all radical Islamic movements in the world identify the
• 39:30
  Speaker 16: West written large, but the United States in particular, as
• 39:33
  Speaker 16: the greatest evil on the earth. And every chance to
• 39:35
  Speaker 16: have the notion that somehow radical Islam would be comfortable
• 39:38
  Speaker 16: with simply controlling some province in Irock or Syria is
• 39:42
  Speaker 16: just not borne out by history. Radical Islam has shown
• 39:45
  Speaker 16: that their desire is not simply to occupy one part
• 39:48
  Speaker 16: of the world and be happy with their own little calife.
• 39:51
  Speaker 16: They want to expand it is. It is a revolutionary
• 39:54
  Speaker 16: in its nature. It seeks to expand and control more
• 39:56
  Speaker 16: territories and more people. And radical Islam has designs openly
• 40:00
  Speaker 16: on the West, on the United States, on Europe. We've
• 40:03
  Speaker 16: seen that progress there as well, and they are prepared
• 40:06
  Speaker 16: to conduct acts of terrorism in the case of Iran
• 40:09
  Speaker 16: nation state actions, assassinations, murderers, you name it, whatever it
• 40:13
  Speaker 16: takes for them to gain their influence and ultimately their
• 40:16
  Speaker 16: domination of different cultures and societies. That's a clear and
• 40:20
  Speaker 16: imminent threat to the world and to the broader West,
• 40:22
  Speaker 16: but especially to the United States, who they identify as
• 40:24
  Speaker 16: the chief chief source of evil on the planet. The
• 40:27
  Speaker 16: reason why they hate the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia the
• 40:31
  Speaker 16: leadership of the UAE of Bahrain is because they've allowed
• 40:34
  Speaker 16: the United States to partner with them. That's why they
• 40:36
  Speaker 16: hate them. They consider them infidels for it. They hate Israel,
• 40:39
  Speaker 16: but they also hate America, and they hate anywhere in
• 40:41
  Speaker 16: the world that we have influenced. They seek to attack it,
• 40:43
  Speaker 16: including here in the homeland. If you look at the
• 40:46
  Speaker 16: domestic terrorists that the attacks that happened here domestically, the
• 40:49
  Speaker 16: overwhelming majority of them have been inspired by radical Islamic viewpoints,
• 40:54
  Speaker 16: and that includes the shooting in the Poults nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
• 40:57
  Speaker 16: That includes the Saudi Pilot and Pensacola, my home state,
• 41:00
  Speaker 16: two attacks.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm very interested to hear what my next guest
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: has to say about that. He is the president of
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: the Crime Prevention Research Center. He served as the Senior
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Advisor for Research and Stats in the Office of Justice
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Programs and the Office of Legal Policy for the Justice
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Department back in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one, and
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: he has a great piece up on real clear politics,
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: the terror threat that Americans aren't supposed to discuss. John
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: Lott joins us, Doctor lot. Always good to have you
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: on the program. Thank you for joining us today.
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: It's great to talk to you again. Thanks for having
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: me on.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: So you just heard the Secretary of State there sort
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: of lay all of that out, and I know a
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: number of members of Congress are very alarmed at this
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: what they consider to be a threat to the United States.
• 41:52
  Speaker 6: What say you, Well, yeah, I mean a lot of
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: the media discussion on this makes the mistake of just
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: looking at the percent of attacks by Muslims, for example,
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: but doesn't adjust for their share of the population. We
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: collect data regularly on mass public shootings, so we looked
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: at that have very detailed data from nineteen ninety eight
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: through now on it, and what you find is that
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: Muslims greatly disproportionately compared to their share of the population
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: are engaged in mass public shootings. In fact, it's a
• 42:35
  Speaker 6: ratio of about eighteen times their share of the population.
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: It's not most of the cases, or even a huge
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: percentage of the cases, but you have to adjust for
• 42:47
  Speaker 6: their share of the population. And I'm sure without thinking
• 42:51
  Speaker 6: about it, people are familiar with a lot of these cases,
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: from the Fort Hood shooting with the major who is
• 42:59
  Speaker 6: in connection with isis all the way up to the
• 43:01
  Speaker 6: San Bernardino attack in California. You know, you've had eight
• 43:09
  Speaker 6: of these mass public shootings that have occurred over that
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: period of time that involved Muslims is supposedly doing instead,
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: you know, the Biden administration goes and focuses on things
• 43:22
  Speaker 6: that are not as common, you know, so called right
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: wing right, white supremacists, and uh, you know, it's just
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: been a misallocation of resources.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: And now you have folks like Tucker Carlson coming out
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: and saying, oh, Islam does not pose a threat of
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: violence in the United States. Where and other social media
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: influencers on what would be considered the conservative side of
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: the aisle, Where where are they getting all of this
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: that you know their information from.
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: I have no clue. I mean, Tucker Carlson's made many
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: of those statements. Usually it's he sarcastically just dismisses people. Look,
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: just the first two weeks of March, we've had a
• 44:12
  Speaker 6: number of cases, from the attack in Austin, Texas, to
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: the bombings bombs that were thrown in New York City,
• 44:20
  Speaker 6: to the Temple Israel attack in Michigan, to the Old
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: Dominion University attack in Virginia, where you know, the guy
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: in Austin was wearing a T shirt saying property of Allah,
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: and a couple of the other ones were yelling Akbar
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: when they were doing the attacks. The guy with the
• 44:43
  Speaker 6: Temple Israel his brother apparently was captain in Hballa in Lebanon,
• 44:53
  Speaker 6: and so you know, obviously there are connections that are there.
• 44:56
  Speaker 6: But what we tried to do and looking at this
• 44:59
  Speaker 6: was say, okay, well, well a lot of this recent
• 45:01
  Speaker 6: stuff is due to obviously in response to the war
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: in Iran, So we wanted to look at an earlier
• 45:08
  Speaker 6: period of time before that became an issue. So we
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: looked at all the data from nineteen ninety eight through
• 45:15
  Speaker 6: twenty twenty five, and of course there are other types
• 45:17
  Speaker 6: of attacks. Besides that. You have the truck that was
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: driven through the crowded people in New Orleans last year,
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: which fourteen people were killed and something like forty seven
• 45:31
  Speaker 6: people were injured. But the data has been put together
• 45:37
  Speaker 6: very clearly with all sorts of information on the background
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: for all the mass public shooters. So that was an
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: easy thing to go and look at.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: And again when you go back and that is a
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: significant amount of time, you're able to see patterns certainly develop.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: And according to your article, I want to read this,
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: that makes Middle Easterners the most disproportionate ethnic or racial
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: group involved in mass public shootings during this period. So,
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: I mean it's I'm not really surprised by this, but
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: it's really troubling that the administration, I have to imagine
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: they've got access to these numbers, the previous administration, the Democrats,
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: and yet they completely ignored that and try to cast
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: the blame on a group that was probably not as dangerous.
• 46:22
  Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, I mean we can break it down different ways.
• 46:24
  Speaker 6: We can look at their actual religious affiliation, we can
• 46:27
  Speaker 6: look at their ethnic affiliation, you know, as you say,
• 46:32
  Speaker 6: so you can look to see whether there Muslims. You
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: can also see whether they're from the Middle East origin.
• 46:38
  Speaker 6: And you know, you look at the attacks in March
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: that we've had before that we just went through, all
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: those individuals had become naturalized US citizens, so you know
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: they were not born originally in the United States. They
• 46:55
  Speaker 6: were from Middle Eastern Muslim countries to begin with. But look,
• 47:02
  Speaker 6: one of the things that's interesting to me is the
• 47:05
  Speaker 6: media and the buying administration puts so much emphasis on
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: right wing white supremacists. If you look at just simple
• 47:15
  Speaker 6: political views, the vast majority of these attackers are non political.
• 47:20
  Speaker 6: You just have individuals who are suicidal. You have about
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: seven percent of the attacks involved somebody who's either anti immigrant,
• 47:30
  Speaker 6: racist of some type, or white supremacist. But what's missed
• 47:34
  Speaker 6: in the media coverage because they basically take anybody who's
• 47:38
  Speaker 6: anti immigrant or white supremacists as a right winger. And
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: if you actually go and read the diaries and manifestos,
• 47:48
  Speaker 6: what you find is that most of those individuals are environmentalists.
• 47:55
  Speaker 6: They don't like minorities because they're upset about people having children,
• 48:00
  Speaker 6: and they believe that minorities are having a disproportionate number
• 48:05
  Speaker 6: of children, and so I don't know. Maybe I live
• 48:08
  Speaker 6: a very isolated life and don't talk too many conservatives.
• 48:11
  Speaker 6: You may know more than I do, but I'm not
• 48:14
  Speaker 6: sure I know too many conservatives that are upset about
• 48:17
  Speaker 6: people having children that that's somehow damaging the environment. And
• 48:22
  Speaker 6: it's more than that. You read things like the El
• 48:26
  Speaker 6: Paso Walmart tutor or the Buffalo mass murderer. Those individuals
• 48:34
  Speaker 6: classify themselves as environmental extremists. They call themselves socialists. They
• 48:39
  Speaker 6: talked about their ideal former government as being communist China,
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: and so I don't know. Maybe there are a lot
• 48:47
  Speaker 6: of conservatives out there who think that communist China is
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: kind of the ideal former government for people to have.
• 48:54
  Speaker 6: But you know, my guess is if you're going to
• 48:58
  Speaker 6: go look at politicians who are are most concerned about
• 49:01
  Speaker 6: people having kids, it's going to be more likely to
• 49:03
  Speaker 6: be somebody like AOC or Biden. Then it's going to
• 49:08
  Speaker 6: be any conservative politician that you can name.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a great point, and again, folks, I want
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: you to read doctor John Lott's piece in Real Clear
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: Politics the terror threat Americans aren't supposed to discuss, and
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: he comes armed with stats, and I think those are
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: so very important, especially when you talk about winning the argument,
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: Doctor Lott. We're going to have to leave it there,
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: but congratulations, a great piece you wrote. Be sure to
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: appreciate you joining us on the show today.
• 49:38
  Speaker 6: That's great talking to you. Thanks very much.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: All right, there you have it, everybody, doctor John Lott.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: And again the facts, the facts, ladies and gentlemen, are
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: that Middle Easterners are more likely to commit acts of
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: terror in the United States more than any other other people.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: Group nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: This is our number. That's nine oh one two six
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. Now I want to get
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: to some of this audio. Joe Kent was on Tucker
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: Carlson's program. And by the way, this was all planned out.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: It was all planned, It was all planned in advance.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: This did not just happen randomly that Joe resigned and
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: then immediately showed up on the Tucker Carlson Show. So
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: he's doing all these and we've got a couple of clips,
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: but this one just really, I lo, it just rubbed
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: me the wrong way. Joe Kent revealing the last thing
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk said to him, take a listen.
• 50:38
  Speaker 17: And then you know, Charlie Kirk is killed publicly in
• 50:41
  Speaker 17: a very horrific way, and we're not really even allowed
• 50:44
  Speaker 17: to look into that at all. And Charlie Kirk was
• 50:47
  Speaker 17: one of President Trump's closest advisors, and he also advocated
• 50:51
  Speaker 17: heavily against a war with Iran. He was in the
• 50:54
  Speaker 17: Oval Office in the lead up to the Twelve Day War.
• 50:57
  Speaker 17: I wasn't particularly close with Charlie. He was very very
• 51:00
  Speaker 17: gracious to me when I was running for Congress, very
• 51:01
  Speaker 17: very supportive.
• 51:03
  Speaker 18: So we knew each other.
• 51:03
  Speaker 17: And the last time I saw Charlie Kirk on this
• 51:05
  Speaker 17: earth was in June in the in the West Wing
• 51:11
  Speaker 17: in the stairway, and I said hi to him, and
• 51:13
  Speaker 17: he looked me in the eye and he said very loudly,
• 51:15
  Speaker 17: and it's a small you've been in the West Wing.
• 51:16
  Speaker 17: It's small, it's a tight space. And he said, Joe,
• 51:20
  Speaker 17: stop us from getting into a war.
• 51:21
  Speaker 18: With Iran, very loudly.
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: He was single minded, and he.
• 51:24
  Speaker 18: Walked off and he went, I believe, into the Oval.
• 51:28
  Speaker 17: So when one of President Trump's closest advisors, who is
• 51:31
  Speaker 17: vocally advocating for us to not go to war with
• 51:35
  Speaker 17: Iran and for us to rethink at least our relationship
• 51:38
  Speaker 17: with the Israelis and then he suddenly publicly assassinated and
• 51:43
  Speaker 17: we're not allowed to ask any questions about that.
• 51:47
  Speaker 18: It's a data point. It's a data point that we
• 51:49
  Speaker 18: need to look into.
• 51:50
  Speaker 19: What do you mean when you say we're not allowed
• 51:52
  Speaker 19: to ask any questions about that.
• 51:54
  Speaker 17: We've we've been told that this individual Robinson is a
• 51:59
  Speaker 17: lone gunman, and maybe he is. But the investigation that
• 52:03
  Speaker 17: I was a part of, the National Counterarism Center was
• 52:05
  Speaker 17: a part of. We were stopped from continuing to investigate.
• 52:08
  Speaker 17: And the FBI will say that that they stopped that
• 52:10
  Speaker 17: because they wanted to have every turn everything over to
• 52:14
  Speaker 17: the Utah state authorities. Everything's going to trial. It's very
• 52:16
  Speaker 17: very sensitive. But there was still a lot for us
• 52:19
  Speaker 17: to look into that I can't really get into. But
• 52:21
  Speaker 17: there was still linkage for us to investigate that we
• 52:25
  Speaker 17: needed to run down. I'm not making any conclusions. I'm
• 52:27
  Speaker 17: not saying, oh, I don't think you will because you
• 52:29
  Speaker 17: know because of this this happened. I'm not saying that
• 52:32
  Speaker 17: at all. I'm just saying there's unanswered questions. We know
• 52:34
  Speaker 17: the pressure because of the text messages, text messages that
• 52:37
  Speaker 17: have been made public that Charlie was under a lot
• 52:39
  Speaker 17: of pressure from a lot of pro Israel donors. And
• 52:43
  Speaker 17: again we know Charlie was advocating to President Trump against
• 52:45
  Speaker 17: this war with Iran.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: All right, So a little bit to unravel here again,
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: How did this guy get a job inside the White House?
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: Is what I want to know. First of all, he
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: was a Democrat. He switched to the Democrat Party in
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: twenty nineteen. This is from the reporting of Sarah Fields.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: He voted for Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary, and
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: he switched to the Republican Party in twenty twenty one.
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: So the guy, it seems to me that he does
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: come across as being an opportunist. And do we are
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: we really are we really supposed to believe that the
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: last words Charlie uttered to this guy, or We've got
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: to stop the war in Iran, when this guy is
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: on the record supporting war against Iran. And there was
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: also a rather there was an implication there that Israel
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: was somehow involved in Charlie Kirk's death. So look, here's
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: the deal. Bottom line. You're either going to believe Tucker
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: Carlson and Joe Kent or you're gonna believe Donald Trump
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: that both of them are saying polar opposite things. So
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: the issue now is who who do you believe? All right,
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: we've got to take a break. Nine oh one two
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. This is the Todd
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: Stearns Show. All right, here's the headline from NBC News.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: NASCAR suspends driver Daniel die after he used a gay
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: voice on live stream. He has since apologized, saying I
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: chose my words poorly and I understand why it upset people.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: So all of this was happening as they were doing
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: a live stream. Can we let's play that live stream there? Dylan,
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: I kind of know what he raised or anything.
• 54:36
  Speaker 15: We did some like Saint Pete promo stuff and he
• 54:41
  Speaker 15: was at it, and I thought he was one of
• 54:43
  Speaker 15: like the indie next guys, or like the Nauta guy
• 54:45
  Speaker 15: or something.
• 54:46
  Speaker 13: I read.
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: Sorry, he plays for the other team, I think.
• 54:49
  Speaker 15: And I was like, I was like, so, what do
• 54:51
  Speaker 15: you like you alas any olds and he was like distraughted.
• 54:55
  Speaker 15: I asked him that question, like, yeah, we raised Nashville
• 54:59
  Speaker 15: and in Iowa.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: It's like, oh my gosh, yes, oh that's it. So
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: that's the gay voice. All right, we're good, We're good.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: That's the gay voice, right, So that's that's what got
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: the guy in trouble. He's like been suspended indefinitely.
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: Interesting for that. I guess he's mocking him? What David?
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: David Malucas is the guy they're mocking.
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: So that gets you suspended for the rest of the
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: what season?
• 55:38
  Speaker 6: See?
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: The problem is NASCAR's gone completely woke, right, yeah, they have.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: So my question is, Okay, are they going to suspend
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: somebody for I don't know, mocking a redneck? Are they
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: gonna would they hold that them to the.
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: Same state line?
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: But apparently David Malucas is not gay, He's Lithuanian, So
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: maybe maybe that's how Lithuanian's talk. I don't know, Maybe
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: I know. I was kind of disappointed. I'm like, what
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: is it? What was he talking about?
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: Here?
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: Blow it out your tail pipe?
• 56:10
  Speaker 13: Boys?
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Oh you make me want to tork your engine room room?
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: Now that I could see as being I don't know,
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: maybe offensive, I guess, but to definitely suspend the guy,
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: jess Alu Nascar is a little sensitive these days. All right,
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: hang tight, everybody gotta take a quick break. This is
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: the ton Stern Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. This
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: is the Ton Stearns Radio Show. Honored to have you
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: with today. Senator Tommy Tubbervilt coming up, by the way,
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: just got a note Monday, a Congressman Jim Jordan wants
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: to drop by the show, So we'll look forward to
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: that conversation. We're sort ofly becoming like the big stop
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: everybody's got to make as we head down the campaign trail.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: Want to welcome in our great friend, Republican strategist from
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: right here in Memphis, Tennessee, Luke Symbol. Luke Hope you're
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: doing well.
• 57:24
  Speaker 20: I'm doing well, tought, except you had me crying laughing
• 57:27
  Speaker 20: in that last segment. That was pretty good.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: It's insane. I mean, this is and by the way,
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: we knew NASCAR was going woke back when Phil Robertson,
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: the late great Phil Robertson, was asked to pray and
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: they got upset because he prayed in the name of
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ.
• 57:41
  Speaker 20: They are growing so woke and it's yet another example
• 57:44
  Speaker 20: of an institution not understanding who their base is.
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's unfortunately, I mean, let's get real. You know,
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: it's like, you know, it's a certain demographic watches Nascar,
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: and the fact that you're going after that demographic now
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: is just it's just a just absurd. By the way,
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: President Trump coming to Memphis on Monday.
• 58:05
  Speaker 20: Huge news touting the massive success of the Memphis Safe
• 58:09
  Speaker 20: Task Force here in Memphis, that we have major crime
• 58:12
  Speaker 20: down fifty percent across the board, some of these violent
• 58:16
  Speaker 20: crimes down seventy percent. It because of President Trump and
• 58:20
  Speaker 20: others who work together to get this Memphis Safe Task
• 58:23
  Speaker 20: Force here with the National Guard, FBI, all the alphabet
• 58:26
  Speaker 20: soup of agencies. It's like a new city. It's a
• 58:29
  Speaker 20: new day in Memphis, and it's really encouraging. And I
• 58:32
  Speaker 20: hope he takes a victory lap and commits the making
• 58:34
  Speaker 20: Memphis the safest city in America.
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: It's really remarkable. And of course, his son's very involved
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: at Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital and they actually have
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: a lot of friends here in the Memphis area.
• 58:47
  Speaker 20: They do, and you know, Saint Jude is really a
• 58:49
  Speaker 20: jewel here for Memphis. And a couple of years ago
• 58:52
  Speaker 20: that research doctor was shot in downtown Memphis and Saint
• 58:56
  Speaker 20: Jude finally started beating the drum of saying we love Memphis.
• 58:59
  Speaker 20: We love being here, but we can't stay here when
• 59:02
  Speaker 20: we cannot attract talent because Memphis is too dangerous to
• 59:05
  Speaker 20: get the doctors here. And so that woke a lot
• 59:07
  Speaker 20: of people up. And I'm telling you, Todd, you know,
• 59:11
  Speaker 20: I live in Memphis, I own a home in Memphis.
• 59:13
  Speaker 20: I'm investing in Memphis. I love Memphis.
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: And it had.
• 59:16
  Speaker 20: Gotten really, really discouraging in twenty twenty three and twenty
• 59:19
  Speaker 20: twenty four. And if you had told me then that
• 59:21
  Speaker 20: the President of the United States would be zeroed in
• 59:24
  Speaker 20: on solving our crime crisis, I would not have believed you.
• 59:28
  Speaker 20: It's so encouraging. And so we just thanked President Trump
• 59:30
  Speaker 20: for his willingness to do so.
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: Earlier, we talked about what happened to Sarah Huckemy Sanders
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: right across the Mississippi River in Arkansas, being told to
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: leave a restaurant because her political views were triggering to
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: the staff. It's just it's really shocking that this kind
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: of stuff goes on.
• 59:50
  Speaker 20: It's so annoying. I mean, come on, you know, and
• 59:53
  Speaker 20: culture likes to say you're no longer discriminated against when
• 59:56
  Speaker 20: you move into a neighborhood and the home values around
• 59:58
  Speaker 20: you go up.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: That's how it is with the gays.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 20: People When they move into a neighborhood, they clean up
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 20: the house, they redo the landscaping, and the values go up.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 20: People welcome them with open arms. Just stop being annoying.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 20: You're no longer discriminated against.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: And they stop it. Yeah, these servers, you know, they
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: go on. They don't understand that they could end up
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: being on the unemployment line. Yeah, I mean stupid.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 20: It's totally stupid. And can you imagine if a gay
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 20: couple went into a restaurant to get some croissants and
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 20: the staff said, oh, no, we don't like gay people,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 20: please leave. It would be a national news story. And
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 20: yet the mainstream media has no interest in this. So
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 20: thanks for bringing it to light. It's so frustrating and annoying.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 20: It just gives gays around the country who are no
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 20: longer discriminated against the bad name.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: I just don't get that at all. We've been following
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: a lot of weird news coming out of Washington. If
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: I were a betting man, I would say that Tulsi
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: Gabbard is probably a short termer in the administration. I
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: just just by what i've been hearing and what I've
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: been observing. But this Joe Kent guy, so now we
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: know that apparently he was under FBI investigation for leaking
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: classified intelligence documents, got wind of it, resigned and then
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: immediately shows up on Tucker Carlson's show, and they are
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: clearly as a matter of fact, Dylan, let's play that
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: other piece of audio. I want this was a cut
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: number eighteen.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 19: Was Iran on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon?
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 17: No, they weren't, you know, three weeks ago and this started,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 17: and they weren't in June either. I mean, the Irians
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 17: have had a religious ruling of Fatua against actually developing
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 17: a nuclear weapons since two thousand and four. That's been
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 17: in place since two thousand and four. That's available in
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 17: the public sphere. But then also we had no intelligence
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 17: to indicate that that Fatua was being disobeyed or it
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 17: was on the cusp of being lifted. The Iranian strategy,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 17: it's actually pretty pragmatic. The Iranians are obviously aware of
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 17: what's taking place in their region, and their strategy was
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 17: to not completely abandon their nuclear program because they saw
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 17: what happened to market Afie and Libya when he said, hey,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 17: I've got no more nukes.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 18: I'll do what you say. I'll give up my.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: Nukes, and we gave them peace price.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 17: Yeah, we regime changed him and he was you know,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 17: executed by his own people in the most horrific bayonet.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 19: Okay, So that's what that's the lesson I think that
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 19: the entire region took from that when Hillary Clinton.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 17: Unfortunately, that's what the the neocon neoliberal warmongers, that's the
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 17: lesson that they showed everyone in the region. And then conversely,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 17: the Iranians also knew that if they came out and said, okay,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 17: we've we've got a nuke, whether they were bluffing or not,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 17: Saddam Hussein Iraq right.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 18: Next door, so they kind of had hung.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 17: I think he was hung by his own people, you know,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 17: after a bloody, you know war that's still essentially going
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 17: on inside of a rock. So the the Iranians position,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 17: when viewed from the lens of the region, was actually
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 17: fairly pragmatic. They were preventing, you know, themselves from developing
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 17: a bomb, but they still wanted the ability. They wanted
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 17: the ability to enrich, they wanted the ability to have
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 17: some components. So that they weren't completely stripped of it,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 17: and when we always assessed that they were either several
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 17: months or a year, two years away from actually being
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 17: able to develop a nuclear weapon.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 18: And that's not because the Iranians are stupid people.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 17: I think we can we can tell right now that
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 17: the Iranians are anything but stupid. They had the ability,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 17: I think that the brain power to actually develop one,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 17: or they could have simply traded a ton of oil
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 17: with Pakistan or with someone else to actually get a
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 17: nuclear weapon.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 18: They were not doing that. We had no indication, no
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 18: intelligence to indicate that they were.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: So Joe kin here is now basically saying President Trump
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: lied to the nation.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 20: Well, look, I hope that's not true. Joe Kent came
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 20: to prominence running for Congress out on the West Coast.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 20: He ran a pretty good campaign, loss, ran again lost,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 20: and he was given an opportunity in the Trump administration.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 20: And you know that. I was talking to a friend
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 20: last night. I don't know how I feel about this
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 20: Iranian situation. I do trust President Trump. I do think
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 20: that they need The administration has to be more than
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 20: forthcoming about the intelligence that they had to convince the
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 20: American people that this is a good idea, and I
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 20: think we have to accomplish whatever we need to accomplish
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 20: and get out. I do think that is President Trump's goal.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 20: He doesn't want to have a war there. He wants
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 20: to accomplish what he needs to accomplish and get out.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 20: But there is something gross to me about Joe Kent
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 20: leaving the administration trying to generate as much media buzz
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 20: as possible going out on these podcasts. Not really you know,
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 20: he was not really asked super difficult questions and there
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 20: wasn't a ton of pushback. I would be fine maybe
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 20: with an interview, whether there's a there's an intense back
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 20: and forth, but it just seems gross to me to
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 20: be given an opportunity to work in the administration and
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 20: then you leave and just try to get a lot
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 20: of attention for yourself.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: It's yeah, it's it's unseemly. There's something else going on here.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: Of course, within the administration, you've got a battle really
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: between say Tucker Carlson, well JD. Vance Tucker Carlson, Tucker's
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: son works for JD. Vans, So you've got the Vice
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: President's office. I think going to war with Marco Ruby
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: on that crowd, and that's where the dividing line is.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: And you've got a lot of Tucker supporters and JD.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: Van supporters. I think Don Junior is, of course you're
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: good friends with. So I don't know if we're looking
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: at a political divide, if we're looking at an age divide.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: But I don't think it looks good, you know, as
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: we start looking beyond twenty twenty six to twenty twenty eight.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 20: Yeah, this is not good. And I do not think
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 20: regardless of whether somebody thinks that going into Iran was
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 20: a good idea, and I think that's Sylla for debate
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 20: and it may be very, very successful, and I hope
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 20: that it is. I don't know that the populace, I
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 20: don't know is buying into it. And I know that
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 20: the Fox News was pushing some polls yesterday showing that
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 20: the magabase overwhelmingly supports it. I'll just say amongst my
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 20: friend group that I do consider it's really split, and
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 20: it's we need to have these conversations right now. I
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 20: don't know that the way that Joe Kent is going
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 20: about it, though, it just it seems a little gross
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 20: to me.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: We've got twenty five hitter marines over there. You don't
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: send the marines unless you're planning on putting them on
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: the ground right there are there's some reporting, scattered reporting,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: that we may be calling up thousands more troops. If
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: that happens, how do you how does this play out
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: in the Maga base if we end up having to
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: physically invade Iran?
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 20: I just don't think it's it's a good thing. And
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 20: and Trump ran on three things, build the wall, which
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 20: was also and and immigrant, you know, slow down immigration
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 20: and immigration, bring jobs, foreign jobs, bring manufacturing back home.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 20: And then the third thing was no more foreign wars.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 20: That was a huge tenant of the platform. And he
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 20: must show us that this is not a foreign war
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 20: that we are going to be in for a long time.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 20: And this is really gonna If this is still going
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 20: on with the midterms, it's it's not going to be
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 20: a good situation. So I hope, I hope that this
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 20: is a week's long thing and we accomplish the mission
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 20: and get out. And Trump is very victorious.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: We've got our my Newsmax reporter out on the West coast.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: He's going to be doing a live report tonight at
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: five o'clock, he'll be in front of a gas station
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: where I think gas prices are eight nine dollars a gallon.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: We're talking about for regular unleaded gasoline.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 20: Oh, it's up a dollar. I filled up the other day.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 20: It was up a dollar within a week or two,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 20: and it's still going higher. It's people, it's the kitchen
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 20: table issues. And I'm not convinced Todd that Iran is
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 20: a kitchen table issue. It feels like, you know, like
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 20: my grandparents who have Fox News on all day every day,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 20: it feels to me like they're really interested and invested
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 20: in this. But I don't know that the everyday average
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 20: person who you know, has four kids at home and
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 20: is trying to make it by, is really in tune
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 20: with what's happening Iran or that they care. Now, look,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 20: if Iran did have access to a nuclear weaponar was close,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 20: we definitely needed something to do about it. And we
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 20: need to see that intelligence.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: And I will say again, Tulcia Gambard completely opposed to
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: all of this. You know, she she was against it,
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: and she actually contradicted the President yesterday and her testimony.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: President said that that Iran had been obliterated, and Tulcia
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: Gabbard said, no, that was not anchorate that well, she didn't,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: she used different terminology, but clearly Iran was hit hard.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: But they have not been obliterated.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 20: Right, I don't think they're obliterated. They have not had
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 20: an election to restore a republic or restore democracy there.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 20: I just I don't think what we're not done yet,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 20: And so again I think we need to emphasize this
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 20: needs to be done as quickly as possible so that
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 20: we completely We had such an amazing turn of the
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 20: narrative after the State of the Union and we were
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 20: winning and then this Iran thing happened, and Todd, I
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 20: don't think that we're I don't think that we're winning
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 20: right now.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: And that's a scary thing to think about because we've
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: got everything on the line here, yep. And I'm just
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: going to say this. I think you've got Republicans that
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: are fractured all over the country, all over the.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 20: From the local level, local up all the way up.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 20: And we need you know, the Republican Party largely had
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 20: no relevance before Donald Trump. We were after that Mitt
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 20: Romney lost. What was the Republican Party? What did the
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 20: Republican Party stand for? And there is still that battle
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 20: of the old guard versus the new guard, and it's
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 20: it's happening even here in Memphis, and you see it.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 20: And this this foreign skirmish I really don't think helps things.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: I mean when you think about it, and and and
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: it's I mean, I don't want to go down this path.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: But the reality is, I think a lot of folks
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: establishment Republicans see this as an opportunity to take their
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: party back from the populist and the you know, the
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: evangelicals who were somewhat decimated in the party platform fights
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: ye back in the in twenty twenty four. So I
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: think this is the opportunity they see of going back
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: to the way the party used to be before Ronald Reagan,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: which was you know, the Gerald Ford more establishment types.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 20: Yes, and you're even seeing this in the podcast space
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 20: with all these new podcasters who suddenly have a voice
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 20: and a little bit of a following. And what I
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 20: want to encourage people is listen to the voices that
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 20: have been saying the same things forever. Todd, You're an
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 20: example of that. Who are the commentators, the radio hosts,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 20: the TV pundits, who have been saying the same thing
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 20: all the way, going all the way back to the
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 20: early two thousands and are staying consistent and listen to
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 20: those folks. A lot of these new people, I feel like,
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 20: are just grabbing whatever headline they want to grab that
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 20: they think we'll get them more followers, and it's not
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 20: a good thing. And I think we're seeing so much
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 20: fracturing right now amongst the magabase and I really really
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 20: hope that we solved this quickly to get to get
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 20: back to focusing on the enemy. And that's the radical left.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: That's it, all right, Luke symbol always good seeing you.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 20: Good to see it's top.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: Thanks for having folks.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: Got to take a break. We'll be right back. There's
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: a weird story and somewhat disturbing story out of the
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: Washington Post. There is a military base right outside of Washington,
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: d C. This is Fort McNair, and this is where
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: they're housing a lot of the White House Cabinet secretaries.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: Here's something you don't hear a lot of in the media.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: These guys are getting constant death threats, and not just
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: from Americans but from foreign sources as well. So Secretary
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: of State Marco Rubio Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and among others,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: actually live on the military base. The Army base there
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: in Washington, d C. This is coming from the Washington Post.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: US officials detected unidentified drones above the Army base. This
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: is according to three people briefed on the situation. Officials
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: have not determined where they came from. The military is
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: monitoring potential threats more closely because of the heightened alert
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: level as the United States and Israel strike Iran. Multiple
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: drones were spotted over Fort McNair on a single night
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: in the last ten days. It prompted to increase security
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: measures and a meeting at the White House to discuss
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: how to respond. The drone signings in Washington come as
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: the US issued a global security alert for overseas diplomatic
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: post and lockdown several domestic bases because of threats. This week,
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: Joint based McGuire, Dix, Lakehurst and New Jersey lockdown. McDill
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: Air Force Base in Florida raised Air Force Protection level
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: to Charlie, a designation that means the commander has intel
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: indicating an attack or danger is possible. The only higher
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: alert level is Delta, for when an attack has occurred
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: or is anticipated. The drones over Fort McNair prompted officials
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: to weigh relocating Secretary Rubio and hag Seth. The senior
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: administration officials says the secretaries have not moved. Their quarters
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: on the base were publicly reported by multiple outlets in October. Also,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: the Pentagon is refusing to comment on the matter. And look,
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: I get that. I don't blame them. They're trying to
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: figure out what the heck is going on. But this
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: is disturbing because we do know that the Iranians have
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: access to these drones. They've got sleeper cells here in America,
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: and maybe, just maybe they're trying things out here to
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: see exactly how close they can get to the military base.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: But that is a crazy story. Also, you folks at
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: in Memphis listening to us on KWAM, we just got
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: word that there is some sort of a suspicious device
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: at the airport and they have shut down a lot
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: of the roadways, at least inbound into the airport terminal.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: So some sort of a suspicious item. Now this is
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: a big deal because Memphis International is a major air
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: hub with FedEx the world headquarters here, so you have
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of air travel, a lot
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: of air traffic in and out of Memphis. But airport
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: police have at least temporarily closed the inbound terminal road
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: so they can figure out whatever this suspicious item is.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: This is just again a reminder that there are a
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: lot of bad people in this world that want to
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: do us harm. So we'll keep you updated. And you
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: folks in Memphis listen to KWAM and they'll keep you
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: updated as well. All right, nine oh one two six
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six our telephone number, that's nine
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. Coming up,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: We're gonna tell you all about half Roman.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 5: That's American to start.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: And Hello, everybody, Welcome to the Tom Sterns Radio Program.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: What an honor to have you with us today. We've
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: been waiting to talk about the story all all afternoon.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: There's there's a guy named Afroman. He is a ramper
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: from Ohio. You know it's interesting, Dylan the guy. The
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: guy actually has been nominated for a Grammy.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 3: Wow. I'm not surprised based off of what what I've
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 3: heard so far.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: He's very clever with the words. Many of them were
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: not allowed to repeat on the radio unfortunately. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: but they're very catchy tunes. So Afroman lives in Ohio.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: His real name is Joseph Foreman, and he got himself
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: into well a little bit of trouble. And I want
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: to set this this story up as best I can
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: because it's so darn funny, but it's also there's there's
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: really a lesson for all of us to be to
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: learn here. So according to the complaint, four deputies were
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: acting on a search warrant when they rated mister Foreman's
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: residence in Winchester, Ohio. All of this happened back into
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: one the warrant, this is pretty serious stuff, was for
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: kidnapping and drug trafficking. Those were the reasons that they
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: gave the judge for the search. But it turns out
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: that he didn't have any drugs and he didn't kidnap anybody.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: And mister Foreman was not at home when the police
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: raided his house. But they have a security camera. You know,
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of houses have security cameras these days. By
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: the way, the battery in ours needs to be replaced,
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: just FYI. And so anyway, so the guy had this
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: security camera. His wife was had her cell phone and
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: she was there and she recorded the faces and the
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: bodies of the police officers while they were on the property.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: They literally knocked, they broke, they broke and destroyed the
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: guy's gate, and then they broke the front door down.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: It was terrible. So anyway, it turns out that it
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: was all for nothing because there was nothing. There were
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: no charges filed, and the police just went on their way.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: So Afroman is saying, hey, well wait a second, you people,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: you people broke into my home. You caused all this
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: damage and destruction. You're gonna have to pay for this.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: And the police department refused to do so. They said
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: they were under no obligation to repair any of the
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: damage they had caused during this this search. So Afroman's
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: you know, sat down and the guy, he's an entertainer,
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: he's an entrepreneur, and he thought to himself, you know,
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: I got to figure out a way to they're not
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: going to reimburse me. I got to pay for all
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: this damage. So he decided to write some songs based
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: on the video footage of the police officers breaking into
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: his home, and it was pretty spectacular. As a matter
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: of fact, there was one of the officers who a
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: little on the heavy side, and I guess there was.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: As they were walking into the kitchen and all this
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: is on video. They're walking into the kitchen. Afroman's mother
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: is a renowned baker and she made a delicious lemon
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: pound cake. Tasty. The lemon pound cake was on the counter,
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: and as the deputies are searching the home, the big
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: fat deputy walks by, walks past the lemon pound cake
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: and then apparently catches a whiff of the cake because
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: he turns around and stares at the pound cake. That
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: led Afroman to write a song and he produced a
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: music video featuring the images I just described to you
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: to a song that he wrote himself. Take a listen
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: to lemon pound Cake.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 5: The Adams County Sheriff kick down my door. Then I
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 5: heard the glass spray. They found no kidnapping victims, just
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 5: some limon pound Mama's living pound. Okay, it takes so nice.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 5: It made the sheriff want to put down his gun

  Speaker 5: limit pokay okay. He sees my cake and my porn
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 5: old man cappoom boom okay.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: We probably got to ramp it up, but you get
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: the gist of it. So he also wrote another song
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: called will You help Me Repair My Door? And it
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: turns out though that the pound cake song, I guess
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: got five almost five and a half million views on
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: TikTok Dylan and he started selling all this merch featuring
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: the faces of all these deputies that caused all this
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: damage to his own.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: I love this guy. He's so descriptive. I love his
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 3: songs are just exactly what happened.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: He looks just like Cedric the entertainer has the but
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: he's got like a giant fro, and he's wearing a
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: patriotic suit, like with American flags all over it.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 3: Every single piece of the suit is an American flag.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 12: It is.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: It's brilliant. So I think this is hilarious. Well, it
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: turns out that the officers did not think it was hilarious,
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: and they filed a lawsuit against this guy. This is
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: what it was so insane about all of this, Dylan,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: is that these officers caused all the damage. They refuse
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: to repair the damage, and so when this guy goes
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: out there and uses the video from his own cameras
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: and tries to make money to repair the damage, they
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: haul his butt to court. Now the let's see here,
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: all right, cut number twenty three. Please, this is the
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: I believe the lawyer suing afro Man, And you're gonna
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: be able to hear Afroman's speaking voice.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 8: What they did searching your house gave you the right
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 8: to do everything you know.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 12: Under a circumstance that I got freedom of speech after
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 12: they run around my house with guns and kick down
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 12: my door, I got the right to kick a can
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 12: in my backyard. Use my freedom of speech turn my
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 12: bad times into a good time.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 5: Yes, I do.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 12: And I think I'm a sport for dealing so because
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 12: I don't go to their house, kick down their doors,
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 12: flip them off on their surveillance cameras, then try to
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 12: play the victim and sue them.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 8: You were at Lisa Phillips's deposition, correct, Yes, sir, in
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 8: your lawyer's office, Yes, sir, same office where you filmed
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 8: part of that video last Friday. Yes, sir. And you
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 8: saw how upset she was when she was answering your
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 8: lawyer's questions about how this had affected her right, Yes, yes.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 8: And you saw your attorney say should we do we
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 8: need to take a break? Yes, And you saw her
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 8: say no, let's get let's go on and get this
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 8: over with.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir, you saw all that.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 8: Yes, you knew she was upset, just like she.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 5: Knew I was upset.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 12: And when she was standing in front of my kids
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 12: with AR fifteen, with her hand around the trigger, ready
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 12: to shoot me, just like she knew I was upset
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 12: when she cut my cameras, but I'm not a person
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 12: she is, So I'm sorry it could be in the victim.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 12: Let's talk about the predators.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 8: So you saw all that, You saw how upset she was.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 8: You heard the testimony about her children, You heard the
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 8: testimony at the depositions, Randy Newland's daughter who came home upset.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 8: You heard all that, but you're still posting stuff about it.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 12: Yeah, because I understand it was Randy's fault and all
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 12: of their fault for coming in my house in the
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 12: first place. So if they hadn't came to my house,
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 12: their children wouldn't be saying nothing, None of this would
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 12: be going home if they had a did their research
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 12: and did things right. So all of this is their fault,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 12: and now they want to sue me for their mistake.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 8: Is there anything that could change your mind about what
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 8: you're doing to these deputies?
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 12: Is there anything that can change my mind about the
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 12: fact that they shouldn't have been at my house in
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 12: the first place. Is there anything that can change my
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 12: mind about how my money shouldn't have been touched in
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 12: the first place.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 8: No, that's all the questions I have thank.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 12: You, you're welcome.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 6: Oh jeez.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. So the allegation is that they also confiscated
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: like thousands of dollars in cash, and then when he
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: got it back, he was missing four hundred bucks. He
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: was four hundred bucks short. So so the cops ended
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: up saying, oh, by the way, so they're calling that.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: They're calling the fat cop. Now Lemon pound cake. So
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: the guys out of patrol and they're like, hey, it's
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: Lemon pound Cake. And it turns out Dylan. They interviewed
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: the guy. He was he was on the witness stand
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: Lemon pound cake, and he said. The guy said, they're
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: sending me hundreds of pound cakes. Hundreds of pound cakes. Wow,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: what was the other song? So, oh, the other song?
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: You wrote it?
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: There's a female deputy and wrote a song about how
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 2: she's a lesbian. Yeah, pretty many. You can't say the title,
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: but it's very clever play on words. I'm sorry. So anyway,
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: this is all going to court and it's like that
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: they made them. This was what the funniest part is
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: they played all of the music videos in the court,
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: so all of these deputies had to be like re
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: triggered by all of this. So the deputies were suing
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: and they said that Afroman caused them humiliation in the
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 2: in the music videos, and they wanted money for mental distress.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: And the verdict, the verdict came out yesterday afternoon, and
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to tell you what the ver I'm
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: gonna let you guess what the verdict was. And this
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: is Afroman. Immediately after the verdict was rendered, we did
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: an America.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 12: We did it, God bless America.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 14: Yep.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: He was pretty fired up this small Ohio town. Can
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: you imagine. So now all these people are gonna be there.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: I guess they're gonna live in infamy. But it turns
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: out that some of these cops turned out to be
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: really bad dudes, and we're not gonna get to those
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: that side of the story. But again, the idea here
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: that cops can just smash into your home, tear up
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: your house and like, oh, oops are bad, and then
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: you don't get any recourse and then the cops turn
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: around and sue you. I say, good for Afroman.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 3: This is the biggest win that we've ever seen. I think, Wow,
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 3: this is better than March madness. This is better than anything.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: He's got a lovely singing voice. You're kind of like
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: Isaac Kay's. Yeah, it's very good. Anyway, he's literally gone viral.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: You gotta go watch the pound cake video. It is
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: so funny. Lemon pound cake. All right, gotta take a break.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, welcome back everybody.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: This is the Ton Stearns Radio Show. So we're going
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: a bit viral. NBC News, The Hill, Media, eight, The
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: New York Times. I told you, folks, a lot of
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: people listen to this program, and I know that it's
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: a lot of people think, no, it's just radio. No, no,
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: in all seriousness. So anyway, yesterday we have Michelle Tafoya
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 2: on former ESPN sideline reporter. Now she's running for the
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: US Senate in Minnesota, and I brought up the gas
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: prices and you know, gas prices are going up. How
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: did she you know, how do you respond to that?
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: What do you tell? What do you tell Americans who
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: are really frustrated? Was it eight dollars a gallon right
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: now in Los Angeles? Insane? And she said that it's frustrating,
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: But she said that all of you mega people just
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: kind of need to keep a stiff upper lip, and
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks so that
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: gas goes a little further until this thing is over
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: and these gas prices come back down again. And then
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: she said, you know, let's try to be patriots about this.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: So it's your patriotic duty to set aside the Starbucks
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: so you have money to buy gasoline.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 8: And it is.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: It's getting a lot of play out there. I'm not
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: sure that's going the way she necessarily thought that was
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 2: going to go, but there you go. Nine oh one
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six. Let me ask
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: you a question about that, though. Let's just say for
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: the sake of the argument here, let's just say it's
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: May or June. Gas prices are still very high. We
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: actually have boots on the ground in Iraq. Prices are
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: not going down. Does that impact whether or not you
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: vote in the midterm elections? You know, a lot of
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: the midterms is which party is more motivated to get
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 2: their people out to the polls. Would that be a
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 2: motivating factor for the Democrats or Conservatives Republicans? Would you
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: still be willing to go to the polls because right
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 2: now and I get a lot of been getting a
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 2: lot of hate mail lately, and the hate mail goes
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: something like this, Todd, you're a Pannican. Everybody knows Republicans
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: don't vote in primaries. Well why not? Why don't Republicans
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: vote in primaries? Maybe that's one of the reasons why
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: we have crap candidates in the general. Maybe if we
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: and everybody saying calm down, calm down, everybody's going to
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: get out there and they're going to go and vote
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: in the midterms in November. But we Republicans just don't
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 2: do primaries. I'm not buying that argument.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 3: I'm not.
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 2: I think that the Republicans right now have a mojo issue.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 2: We've lost the big b by the way. We got
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: to get the big mo back. The question is, though
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 2: there may be circumstances involved here, Well we can't get
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 2: the big mo back. I mean, you heard Luke Cymbol,
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 2: who is a millennial a Republican. You heard him say
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: that a lot of people within his age group they're
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: just really not sold on this war right now. And
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: if you put boots on the ground, I mean, it's
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: one thing. If you're flying jets and doing all it's
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: one thing. If that's the war. But if we're talking
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: about putting literal boots on the ground, I think you're
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 2: going to have a lot of people on the Republican
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: side of the aisle running away from the president. And
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: I hope that doesn't happen, but it may be in
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 2: a situation where we there's no other way. On that note,
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 2: Fox newses Trey Lengths, he's their guy out there in
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: tel Avision. He says, this war is far from over.
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: That they're still getting they're still getting shell act over there.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 2: So anyway, just something to just something to consider as
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 2: we as we go along here, and it's we got
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: to start paying attention to these things. Folks, got to
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 2: start paying attention.
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 14: All right.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 2: I want to remind you, Todd Stearns dot com go

• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: I want you to read that story about Sarah Hockebye
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: Sanders and what happened to her in that little rock cafe.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 2: All right, gotta take a break, we'll be right back,
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 2: all right, Welcome back to the Ton Stars radio show. Well,
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 2: earlier this week, Senator Tommy Tubberville and I sort of
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 2: caused a few viral moments on the TV. The Senator
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: has been very outspoken about the threat that radical Islam
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: poses to the United States of America, and I mean,
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: what are you're saying is absolutely true. There is a
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: headline that was just posted moments ago in the Washington
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: Post Republicans are ramping up attacks on Muslims and getting rewarded.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: And there's a big photograph of Senator Tumberville, who happens
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: to be on the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line, Senator, good
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: to have you back with us today.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 4: I had sen that were you next to me in No.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 2: You were you were solo in an elevator.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 4: Oh my goodness. You know, at least people are starting
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 4: this here, and that is my main objective, is the
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 4: way people up. They got to wake up to what's
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 4: going on in this country. We have the greatest country
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 4: ever for the simple fact that we have one set
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 4: of laws, we have moral values. We were built on
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 4: Judo Christian values, and we're not going to let somebody
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 4: from third world country come in. It's gonna change it all.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, we can't let it do that. And they
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 4: are five million strong, building mosque after mosque all over
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 4: the country. And it is only a short period of
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 4: time where we look like Europe, which, by the way,
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 4: Europe to get their countries back, they're going to fight
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 4: in the streets. So we don't want our kids and
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 4: grandkids to have.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 14: To do that.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: No, we don't. As a matter of fact, earlier on
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 2: in the show, we had doctor John Lott with us
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 2: and he's written a really terrific piece in real clear
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 2: politics talking about this very threat and he actually ran
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 2: the numbers. Because Biden and the former FBI director Chris Ray,
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: they said that white supremacist were the primary domestic threat.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 2: But according to John Lott, they looked at the numbers
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 2: and it was very clear that people from the Middle
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 2: East now living in America are the greater threat to
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 2: the nation.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, there's no doubt. And you know, we've always had
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 4: our problems here, but we've worked those differences out and
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 4: no matter who they are, the differences we've had in
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 4: this country is people still love the country. They love it,
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 4: they love the way it's run. They love religious or
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 4: religious beliefs, you know, God and in the Constitution.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 4: But this group totally does not want appeasement. They don't
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 4: want anything to do with America. They want to bring
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 4: America for their level. And again we're not We're not
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 4: going to do that.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 14: You know.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 4: The Krean it's you know, you read it, and it's
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 4: clear they command all infidels, which are included Christian Americans, Uh,
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 4: be attacked, be killed. I mean at the bottom line.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 4: I mean it's it's in black and white. And we
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 4: cannot allow people to preach this on the streets of
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 4: this country because what we have, we have a bunch
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 4: of kids that are all confused right now in a
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 4: lot of different ways, or they sut this into their
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 4: brain and a heartbeat, because I don't know whether a
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 4: lot of these kids really like our country after coming
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 4: out of center of.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 7: Our some of our.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 4: Institutions, educational institution, especially in the Northeast, I don't know
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 4: where they stand. But we cannot allow this to also
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 4: take effect because it'd be a tough road for all
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 4: of us to hold if we continue to let this happen.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 2: It's really alarming when I see what's happening, especially in
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 2: the United Kingdom where the Islamists are just completely taking
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 2: over and it's just really shocking to see how quickly
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: the British tradition is falling. And I don't want that
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 2: to happen here. I know you don't want that to
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: happen here. What steps do you recommend be taking. I know,
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 2: Congressman and the Ogoles wants to deport all Muslims. I
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 2: don't see that happening. Or you know, where do you
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: start here to address the issue.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 4: Well, first of all, we banned Sharia law UH, and
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 4: anybody that's elected in this country, UH should not be
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 4: even close to the Koran or Sharia law because it
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 4: preaches death to Americans. I mean, what kind of idiot
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 4: would in this country would vote for somebody to be
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 4: in Congress or the Senate, or of school board or
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 4: anything that has to do with authority if they believe
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 4: that they're not going to stimilate at all. Now let's
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 4: go back to what you said earlier. I'm not against Muslim.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 4: I've got friends that are Moslim, but some of them
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 4: are Christians, some of them are atheists. They don't believe
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 4: some of them don't believe in anything, but they damn
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 4: sure don't believe in studying and teaching Sharia law and
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 4: going by the Koran. They love this country, and so
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 4: that's what I'm talking about. I'm not this is not
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 4: against Muslim. This is about people that want to destroy
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 4: the United States of America like they have destroyed, and
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 4: we can't allow that to happen. So we need to
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 4: wake the heck up.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: Senator Tommy Tumberville on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker Line today. Senator,
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: when you look at what's happening in Iran right now,
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of a lot of chatter about this
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: nineteen year old champion wrestler executed by Iran in a
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 2: public hanging. He was executed because he showed opposition to
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 2: the Ayatola. I mean, this really does define the evil
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 2: that we are dealing with over there.
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's the same people that are here now.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, they believe in the same thing. You's to
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 4: real all. They believe in the Kouran, they believe in
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 4: you know, if you're in Infidel somebody that doesn't believe
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 4: in in the Muslim bait you should you should die.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 4: And of course they took it that this kid was
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 4: against whoever Coolami or whatever his name is, and they
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 4: put him to death. And that's one of the reasons
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 4: that President Trump said enough enough, after they killed about
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 4: thirty the thirty five thousand of their own people, and
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 4: President Trump says, now, we're not gonna allow this happen anymore.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 4: We're going in. We're gonna help the Iranian people. And
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 4: everybody's kind of wondering. Now, I spent yesterday all day, Yes,
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 4: they were, President Trump one to Delaware to the bringing
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 4: back the young men and women that died in the
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 4: airplane crash over in Iraq. And basically he understands it too.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 4: He understands it. Hey, this is our only chance. If
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 4: we're gonna get this over with, and if we're gonna
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 4: knock out terrorism, the like blood of terrorism, which is Iran,
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 4: this is our time. This is the only time, Todds,
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 4: you and I, President Trump, and everybody our age and
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 4: a lot even younger than us, we're gonna have a
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 4: chance to put a stop of this nonsense. And so well,
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 4: you know, we believe in America first, and we believe
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 4: in the sanctity of life, we believe in in God,
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 4: we believe in our country. But if we can and
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 4: need to help other people. We're doing and that's what
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 4: President I'm doing in Iran.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 2: Senator, I know a lot of people trying to get
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 2: down to the beautiful redneck ravi era along the Gulf
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 2: of America for spring break, and most of them are
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 2: stuck in Atlanta right now.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 2: The lines are just insane. And the the Democrats, I'm
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 2: not you know, I hope, I hope Republicans are doing
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 2: ad campaigns and reminding all these spring breakers who's responsible
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: for their misery right now?
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 4: Right now? Yeah, And don't think we're not reminded them.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 4: And I want to say this. You know, we've talked
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 4: with some Democrats on the floor and a lot of
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 4: them didn't realize that that what what the White White
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 4: House has come to some concessions about DHS over the
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 4: last week or so. Chuck Schumer is not even given
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 4: those concessions to his caucus. They're going what we didn't
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 4: know that happened. Chuck Schumer is behind this Nazi. He
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 4: is blocking the American people from being safe, having TSA agents,
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 4: shorter lines at airport, having a coach guard that's funded,
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 4: having FEMA that funded, It's all on Chuck Schumer. He
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 4: has lied to his caucus. He has held them hostage
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 4: and now they're finding out, well, guess what. In the
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 4: last few hours a group of them have gone over
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 4: to meet with Tom Holman and some congressional group from
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 4: US and I think they're working things out now. That
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 4: might not be the next day or so. But like
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 4: I've told our caucus, we don't need to go home
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 4: again to this gover with. We need to let the
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 4: Democrats know this has on you, the American people, and
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 4: we're going to stay here. Do we get this fixed.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 4: But Chuck Schumer is the one that's behind all this nonsense.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 4: He's playing politics, not policy, and we need to get
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 4: this over with and help the American people. It is
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 4: absolute nonsense. And you said, this is travel season, this
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 4: is vacation season. Bring break. What the heck are they
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 4: trying to prove when they're trying to make everything unsafe
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 4: and everything that they're trying to do to travel across
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 4: this country.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: It's a great point. Before we let you go, Congressman,
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 2: can you give us any update on the Save America Act?
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 2: Is At this point, I think we almost had to
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: be realistic here, is it really? Is there any chance
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 2: at all that this thing gets through the Senate.
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 4: We're still working at it, but very little chance, simple
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 4: for the fact we can't get fifty one votes out
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 4: of the Repubblicans, much less get the seven more votes
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 4: we would need if all the Democrats or Republicans voted
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 4: for it. Now, we're gonna be here all the day today, tonight,
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 4: all day tomorrow, We're going to stay and vote on
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 4: Saturday Sunday. We're gonna try to get something doneant it
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 4: ain't working.
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 2: No, I know I and I appreciate. I appreciate the
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: honesty there is, and I want to make sure something.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 2: I was listening to a podcast yesterday and they said,
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 2: even if even if you guys do the talking fellowbuster
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: to invoke cloture, you still have to have sixty votes.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 3: Is that right?
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 4: No, that's fifty one vote.
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 7: We don't have them.
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 4: It's just not there. You know, you've got four or five.
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 4: The story said they wouldn't vote for it, and so
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 4: we're really not doing a talking filibuster. We're just trying
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 4: to put pressure on the Democrats to prove the American
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 4: people that they're absolutely against this country the way it
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 4: is and they won't Basically, illegals the vote in every election,
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 4: and you wouldn't do it for any other reason. So,
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 4: as you and I talked about the other day, eighty
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 4: percent of the Republicans across this country won't voter ID
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 4: teventy five percent or so the Democrat. It's an issue
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 4: that everybody almost agrees on. Everybody but Chuck Schumer. That's
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 4: absolutely amazed in the met he's holding the country. Chuck Schumer,
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 4: all he would have to do today is say, all right,
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 4: let's vote for this, Let's do what's right for the
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 4: American people. Let's vote for the DHS funding. Let's do
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 4: what's right for the American people. He is holding the
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 4: country hostage, and he should be punished for it. He
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 4: is a He is a crook. He is a guy
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 4: that absolutely does not like this country. All he likes
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 4: is power and the enough is enough of this guy.
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 4: And you know he hates President Trump. And I don't
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 4: know what group he's got behind him, but they're not
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 4: a good group, and they're not a group that loves
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 4: this country. He needs to react to the American people
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 4: and not to the lobbyist that he beholds too.
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 2: All right, well said Senator, Always always good talking to you.
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 2: We got to leave it there, but we sure sure
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 2: to appreciate you coming on the show as always a.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 4: Thank you, have a good weekend, God bless you, and
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 4: maybe we can get something done the next few days.
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 2: Let's let's let's hope. So all right, Senator Tommy Tummerville,
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 2: everybody on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. So we'll we'll
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 2: keep you updated. But again, I don't want you to
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 2: get your hopes up because as you heard the Senator,
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 2: he said, he pretty much said, it's not probably gonna happen.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 2: Just put that out there, all right. Nine oh one
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six are a telephone number.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 2: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 2: Coming up tonight, we have Congresswoman Beth van Dine joining us.
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 2: Also Kathy Lee Gifford. Our good buddy Harry Hurley will
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 2: be with us. And there's a story out of Pennsylvania
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 2: there was a bus driver who was told he hen
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 2: to remove his maga hat. He refused to do so
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 2: ended up losing his job. We're going to be talking
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 2: to that bus driver and his attorney on the show
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 2: tonight at five o'clock. Meanwhile, I've got to talk to
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 2: you about your Social Security benefits. Are you getting all
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 2: of the benefits that you deserve because seventy percent of
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 2: Americans are not getting the full benefits they deserve. That
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 2: thanks to the and by the way, we know that
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 2: information because of Social Security expert Michael Allen. He says
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 2: he's come up with five key strategies for you to
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 2: invest your benefits by as much as one hundred and
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 2: eighty eight thousand dollars over a lifetime. And Newsmax wants
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 2: to give you that report free of charge. All you
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 2: have to do is give us a call eight hundred
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 2: ninety nine to nine ninety ninety. That's one eight hundred
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 2: ninety six ninety. Whether you're getting benefits or you are
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 2: soon going to get benefits, you need this Social Security
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 2: report again eight hundred ninety six ninety Text and data
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 2: rates may apply. Dylan a math teacher at a high
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: school in San Francisco, one of the top schools in
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 2: San Francisco, Lowell High School. Tom Chan mister Chan math teacher,
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 2: been at the school for twenty years, has now been
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 2: placed on leave, accused of fat shaming and misogynistic questions
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 2: on student test.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 3: What did he say one of the I.
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 2: Understand it this way. I understand why fat girls pardon me,
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 2: big bone girl, pardon me, well round, No, that's not good.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 2: Full figured, full figured, yeah, plus size. I understand why
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 2: they would be upset with this, all right, So I
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 2: get that. So I just want to throw that out there. However,
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 2: it's a pretty clever way to teach kids how to
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 2: do math, especially boys. Okay, So here's the quiz. The
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 2: quiz was based on the relationship between a girl's weight
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 2: and how much it would cost to date her.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that's terrible.
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 2: Right, but but it's very clever, very clever. Okay, So
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 2: here's the question. It's a word problem. The amount of
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 2: money you spend on a date varies inversely to how
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 2: much they weigh. A typical girl that weighs one hundred
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 2: and twenty pounds will cost you fifty five dollars to date.
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 2: So here's the here's what you have to do. Derive
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 2: the variation equation. How much would you expect to pay
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 2: for a date with Ashley who is two hundred and
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 2: twenty pounds if you can only afford five dollars, how
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 2: much would your date weigh? And what is his or
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 2: her name? Wow?
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 3: Oh geez, That's all I have to say is wow.
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 2: Some of the questions did not appear to have any
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 2: mathematical component. Some parents added like, for example, how tall
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 2: are you? And how much do you weigh? Pick one
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 2: pretty or smart? And why? Oh god? Yeah, this is
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 2: getting worse for mister Chan. Sounds like he just you know,
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 2: after twenty years, you're just like, okay, I'm done here.
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 3: He gave up. Yeah. Wow.
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 2: Beyond the quizzes, mister Chan also came under scrutiny for
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 2: YouTube videos that attempt to make math fun. And by
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 2: the way, I think this is what he was probably
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 2: trying to do. But can we just be honest about
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 2: math teachers and show, you know, they're just their humor,
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 2: they're since they're just a smidge off kilter.
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 8: You know what I mean?
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 3: You blunt and not. It kind of misses the mark
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 3: at certain times.
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 2: A video titled Grades Versus Dignity showed kids performing dances
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 2: turn extra credit to raise their grades. In the most
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 2: recent video, mister Chan wrote in the description kids need
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 2: an a, so I provide an out. They're buying grades
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 2: from him by humiliating themselves, said one parent, the kids
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 2: look distressed. I don't know. I think it's all somewhat benign.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 2: But again, people are very sensitive these days, and what
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 2: a clever way to make But again, I get it. Ladies,
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 2: you're shaking your head, Dylan, you're not buying this.
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 3: No, this is this is awful.
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 2: Is it that bad?
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 3: It's pretty bad. I mean, does he have a question
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 3: about guys? Wait too? Is it just the girls?
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 8: No?
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 2: No, just the girls.
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 3: See, that's that's tough, because you've got to be you know,
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 3: you've got to be balanced there if you're going to
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 3: do that kind of question.
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 2: I think that's where the misogynistic part comes in.
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 2: Possibly, the school district said it encouraged students to use
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 2: the see something, Say something reporting system. It does make
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 2: you want I'd be curious to hear from the kids.
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 2: Were the kids really upset about this or what was
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 2: it the parents? Because you know, in San Francisco all
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 2: the parents are going to be lives. Oh of course,
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 2: of course, so you get some sort of I don't know,
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 2: feminazi and she's looking at their daughter's homework assignment.
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but also, I mean think about like high school,
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 3: high school and like the insecurities you have in high school.
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 3: I can see the high school or being pretty upset
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 3: about that question.
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 2: But again, if you're a high school boy and you've
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 2: only got a certain amount of money, you want to
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 2: be able to do the calculations, you know, so, so
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 2: you you want to do the math.
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 3: I can give you that. I can give you that.
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 3: It's a legitimate concern. I just don't know if it
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 3: should be a question on like a school test.
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 2: Something tells me I'm on the wrong side of this
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 2: story or equation. If you will, all right, Hey, long,
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 2: five o'clock tonight, ladies and gentlemen, The Todd Stern Show
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 2: on Newsmax two. We're gonna be back here tomorrow, Open
