  Speaker 4: the show today, we have a lot of great guests,
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: including House Speaker Mike Johnson. In an exclusive interview, we
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: had a chance to do a brief conversation yesterday about
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: ten minutes, and so we'll bring you the Speaker of
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: the House in just a little while. Also, Congressman Marlon
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Stutzman was just about fifty feet away from where all
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: of this happened. We're going to be talking to him
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: as well. But right now I want to go right
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: away to our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker Line. We are incredibly
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: honored to have our good friend, the president of the
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritans Purse, Franklin Graham, joining us.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: And Franklin, first of all, good to have you with us,
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: and we understand that you were actually a guest of
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: our colleague, Greta Van Suster and over at Newsmax. So
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: you were there in the ballroom over the weekend.
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: I was todd, I was I don't know. I was
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: fairly close when all of this went down, and it's
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: a little surreal when you look back at it, because
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: it sounded like a tray of food had dropped. So
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: I was talking to the wife of the British ambassador.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: She was sitting next to me, and we were talking
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: about some things in London, and then you hear like
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: a trade ball, and we look around, and then I
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: noticed FBI agents are leaping over tables and running towards
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: the center of the room, and and it just it
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: just I mean, as it was happening unfolding, I didn't
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: sense danger. A lot of people, you know, jumped under
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: the tables.
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: And so forth.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: I just I'm gonna watch see what happened. So I'm
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: just thankful to God that the president wasn't hurt. You Toddy,
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: talk about security and lapse of security. The security worked.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: This guy came in heavily armed, and he didn't get
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: into the room. He came in with a plan to
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: kill Pash Patel and senior leaders, the president, whoever else,
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: and he didn't make it, and so the security could
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: have been better. You know, the experts will debate this
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: for years to come, but I can tell you that
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: guy didn't make it into the room, and all of
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: us in that room were safe. So I thank God
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: for that, and I thank God that he's protected Donald Trump.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: And people's ask is this, you know, he's just a
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: lucky guy. Luck has nothing to do with it. I
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: believe it's the hand of God. I believe God protected
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: him and he is. He's an incredible individual, our president,
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: and for him to go and have a news conference
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: an hour after this happened and at the White House,
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: you know, I just I just feel sorry for, you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: those that were in the room. I felt Charlie Kirk's
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: widow was there and she was just a table away
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: from me, and I know, you know how disturbing all
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: this was for her and maybe some others there. But
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: I just again grateful, thankful to God for watching over
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: and protecting all of us, and we give him the
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: glory and evil did not triumph in that room.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: So it did not, you know, Franklin. There are a
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: couple of images, and I don't know if you've seen these,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: but the and it really speaks, I think, to the
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: character of the men that are in the administration. Stephen
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Miller was photographed. His wife was there. They were seated
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: next to each other and she's expecting a child and
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: he was actually shielding her with his body. And then
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: there was the War Secretary, Pete Hanksteth, who was literally
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: standing up and shielding his wife there at the table.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: These two men especially have been so maligned by the media,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: and I think we got to see the true nature
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: and character of these two men on display in this
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: you know, this crazy chaotic time Saturday night.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: And it was chaotic. After this thing was over with.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: You know, the room is packed, I mean, and it's
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: it's hard to even move in that room. And so
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: we just stood around the table and talked for a
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: little while. And then they said the program would continue.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: And I thought to myself, anything, President st not coming
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: back in this room. So you know, I opted for
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: about forty five minutes or so to leave. Other people
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: beginning to leave at that time. It was again I
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: could just thank God that it could have been different
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: if the security. If this guy had gotten through security
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: passed him with the for the guns that he had,
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: there would have been maybe a few dead people. But
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: instead they stopped him. And uh, Butler, I think Butler,
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: and when we see Pennsylvania, this was really a lapse
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: of security. And that was during the Biden administration. They
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: did not allow President Trump to have the right right
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: amount of security that he needed. And that man came
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: very close. But yet God, odd believe turned the President's
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: head and saved his life. At then of the golf course,
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: the man there that was sticking his rifle through the
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: fence hoping to get Trump. They caught that guy ahead
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: of time. They shot at him. He ran. Uh. So
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: the president the security works, I'm just saying, and we
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: thank god that since Butler, the security has been beefed up.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: And can it get better? I'm sure we can always say, yeah,
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: I can get better. But it worked Saturday night.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: I think within ten to twenty seconds they had the
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: vice president, they had their president off of the stage,
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: and that was just remarkable.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: I mean, you would look at the stage, turned your
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: head around and then you look back at the stage.
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: They're gone on.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: It's that fast. It's that fast. And just the Secret
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: Service that is an incredible job of protecting the president
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: so and the vice president. And wasn't just that is,
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: but the other dignitaries that are in the room. They
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: exit room lightning fast. So again I just take my
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: hat off to the to those that are around the
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: president that are in charge of his security.
• 7:47
  Speaker 8: It worked.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: But the president does need that ballroom. And for the
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: judge and others to say we don't need this, and
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: my goodness, Saturday night is a good reason you need
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: because you have to remember the Hilton is a hotel
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: and you have guests in that hotel and all those
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: guests are not screened. You can't do it. How can
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: you do that? The ballroom downstairs is screen but you
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: can have some crazy people up there, and they had
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: demonstrators up there. So the Hilton is not the place
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: to do this. They need a ballroom at the that
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: the government can control. So you want to have right
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: there at the White House somewhere else, but there needs
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: to be a facility, yeah, where you can hold something
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: like this that is secure, that isn't mixed into a
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: hotel where you have other guests.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: Franklin, before we let you go, and we really do
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: appreciate your time, and so glad that you and the
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: others in that room were okay. The reality is a
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: lot of folks are saying, well, you know, both sides
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: need to cool down the rhetoric. As near as I
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: can tell, Franklin, only one side here has been attacking
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: the president and Christians and conservatives consistently, and that is
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: the group that includes the Democrats, I guess, the media
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: and the folks from Hollywood. And the guy in his
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: manifesto pretty much laid out his reasoning based on all
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: of the falsehoods that have been perpetrated by those folks.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: What say you about that?
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: Well, I think there's truth and the media needs to
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: tone it down. And the problem you have is with
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: social media. You take like James Carvill, he has a
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: rant where he talks about how he hates Trump and
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: wants to destroy Trump, and that's far. It's people like
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: this get on there and you can't control it. So
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: the media, I would hope the media would be more
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: fair in their report of Donald Trump and give him
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: the benefit of the doubt, you know, the constantly calling
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: him a liars of what the president doesn't wake up
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: in the moors out what I'm in lies I can
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: tell today. Does he get things wrong? Sometimes? Sure he does?
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: Well do He's given information and sometimes it's just partial
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: information and reports something and and it's not maybe exactly
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: the way he said it, But he didn't do that intentionally.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: It's a lot of it's just based on the information
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: people giving. So uh, I just I think the president
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: is uh maybe the greatest president in my lifetime, no
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: question about it. I loved Ronald Reagan. That's when I
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: began voting. When Ronald Reagan was in power. And he
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: was a great president. I thought we'd never have anyone
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: equal him, but uh, Donald Trump, in many ways, I
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: think it surpassed Ronald Reagan. And we're at a war.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: We still have a huge issue in the Middle East
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: right now with Iran or Ron cannot continue to have
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: their quest for a nuclear weapons. That has to be stopped.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: That that enriched uranium has to be taken, the straits
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: of hormones needs to be opened up. And uh, and
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: it's not that you can't trust their raniums for a second.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: Play this, and play this, and play this, and time
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: will be the winner. Thinking ragged about long enough, they'll win.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: And I just hope the president will finish the business.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Well, said Franklin. We're gonna have to leave it there
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: real quick, though. I know that you are well. Are
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: you in Alaska now for the operation to Heal our patriots?
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: Is that where you're off to.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going Alaska where we haven't opened up the
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: program yet, but we'll be opening the facilities in the
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: next month. And I'm up here just spend a few
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: days as we begin to get that ready.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Fantastic, Well, it's a great ministry and great work y'all
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: are doing for military couples and the folks that encourage
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: you to go check out Operation Heal our Patriots and
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: we'll post a link to that on our live show blog. Franklin,
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: glad you're doing okay, and enjoy your stay there in Alaska.
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: Thank you God bless all.
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Franklin Graham, who
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: was a guest at the Newsmax table with Grenavan Suster
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: and Chris Ruddy and Rob Schmidt and others, and they
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: were they had a front row view of all the
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: all that transpired. So again coming up, we are going
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: to be speaking exclusively with the Speaker of the House,
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: Mike Johnson, who shares his recollections and also he is
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: really going after the mainstream media and he believes that
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: all of this rhetoric has to blame folks. I saw
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: the piece. I know Robbie George the Great, the theologian
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: from Princeton is saying, well, we we everybody just needs
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: to take up breath. Everybody needs to tone down the rhetoric.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: This is not an everybody issue. This is the Democrat Party.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: They're the ones that have been doing this. They've been
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: fomenting this hate for years? Am I concerned here? When
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: when you look at this guy's manifesto, this is what
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: some college grand from cal Tech, very well educated guy,
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: smart guy, and yet he was he was brainwashed by
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: all of this rhetoricount there. And you have to wonder
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: how many more people are like this guy. I mean,
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: we've all seen the videos on TikTok and x on Facebook.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: There are people out there who want to kill Donald
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Trump and they want to take out conservatives, and we've
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: got to deal with that. But this is not a
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: conservative issue. This is entirely a Democrat side of the
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: aisle issue. But my question is who do you blame
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: for what happened over the weekend. Nine oh one two
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: six zero five nine two six is our telephone number.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: This is the Tom Sterns Show.
• 13:47
  Speaker 9: We don't take you behind the scenes at the Trump
• 13:51
  Speaker 9: White House. Let's listen in as President Trump, thanks the
• 13:56
  Speaker 9: Secret Service, you guys.
• 13:59
  Speaker 10: You did a great show and stopping him cold. It
• 14:02
  Speaker 10: was just like Matt Dillon with John Dillon and you know, boom,
• 14:07
  Speaker 10: it was over.
• 14:09
  Speaker 11: Uh, sir, we can't take all of the credit. If
• 14:13
  Speaker 11: the Washington Press Corps hadn't disoriented him with a standing
• 14:16
  Speaker 11: ovation when he came into the room, he might have
• 14:19
  Speaker 11: been able to see you and things could have gone worse.
• 14:23
  Speaker 10: Oh well, well, I thought I saw someone doing the
• 14:27
  Speaker 10: way back there. I think it was CNN.
• 14:31
  Speaker 9: Join us the next time a hidden microphones take you
• 14:35
  Speaker 9: behind the scenes.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: And welcome back everybody. This is the Tod Stearns Radio Show.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: Happy to have you with us today as we sort
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: of go through what a crazy thing. And the sad
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: reality is this is not going to be the last
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: time somebody tries to take a shot at President Trump.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: And you heard Franklin Graham and he was talking about
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: the security. I've actually been in that building many, many times,
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: and I've seed a good number of events, including the
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: twenty sixteen inaugural ball there at So it is a
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: massive you can fit up to I think twenty five
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: twenty six hundred people in that room, So it's just huge,
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: and there are many different ways to get down into
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: that facility. So again, yes, the security worked at the
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: right there at the entrance. My question is why weren't
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: there other security parameters well ahead and on other floors
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: blocking every single entrance to the ballroom.
• 15:39
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: The other thing here is that we had everybody just
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: about the entire administration was in that room Saturday night,
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: and including the Speaker of the House, including the Vice President,
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: and god forbid, had that guy been able to get in,
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: the President of the United States would have been ninety
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: two year old Chuck Graanselin the Senator Grassley, he would
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: have been next in line. If something had happened to
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: all of our leaders, you would have had a ninety
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: two year old president of these great United States. I mean,
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: that's that's got to be figured out. But I do
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: like the idea of having a ballroom at the White
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: House so you don't have to worry about these security
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: measures as much as you would say in a Washington
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: Hilton or something like that. Nine oh one two six
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: zero five nine two six is our telephone number. That's
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: nine oh one two six zero five to nine to six.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: I want you to listen again, just as some of
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: the unhinged rhetoric that's been directed at Donald Trump cut
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: eight place, Donald.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Trump and the Myga Republicans represented extremism that threatens the
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: very foundations.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Of our republics.
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: Are they a threat to miners?
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: Are they going to take our rights away?
• 16:52
  Speaker 12: Yes?
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: Are they going to put people's lives in danger?
• 16:54
  Speaker 13: Yes?
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Are they going to a dager the planet might not
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: use the climate change?
• 16:57
  Speaker 13: Yes?
• 16:57
  Speaker 10: People need to start taking to the street.
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: This is a dictat I.
• 17:02
  Speaker 14: Just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all of
• 17:05
  Speaker 14: the country.
• 17:05
  Speaker 15: Maybe there will be.
• 17:06
  Speaker 16: Jes a genuine danger to American security.
• 17:10
  Speaker 13: They're still going to have to go out and put
• 17:11
  Speaker 13: a bullet in Donald Trump.
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: And that's a fact.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: To preserve our demarks, question.
• 17:15
  Speaker 9: Speak out against lives.
• 17:17
  Speaker 17: There needs to be on arrest in the streets for
• 17:19
  Speaker 17: as well as there's a rest in our lives.
• 17:21
  Speaker 13: Have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is.
• 17:25
  Speaker 18: President Biden has been clear eyed.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: About the thread that the final president has me that's
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: to Donald Trump is an existential thread to our democracy
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: and our most fundamental freedoms.
• 17:36
  Speaker 19: Kamalin needs to stop saying that President Trump is a
• 17:40
  Speaker 19: threat to democracy. It's now being received by some unhinged
• 17:44
  Speaker 19: people as a call to action.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: Enough is enough, and there you have it, folks, that
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: those aren't conservatives, those aren't Republicans, Those are all Democrats.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: These are crazy people. President Trump is right, these are
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: crazy people. These are lunatics. And the reason why is
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: they have been weaponized by the mainstream media, by Hollywood,
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: by the academic community, and these activist judges and the
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: legacy media. All right, I want to say hello to
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: all of our folks listening to us and watching us today.
• 18:13

• 18:29
  Speaker 4: that out. This is the Todd Sterns.
• 18:30
  Speaker 13: Show on the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. We're honored to
• 18:51
  Speaker 13: have house speaker Mike Johnson, and mister Speaker, I think
• 18:55
  Speaker 13: the entire nation has seen the images of you being
• 18:59
  Speaker 13: whisked away by the Secret Service agents at the White
• 19:02
  Speaker 13: House Correspondence cuenter. Just what an incredible, what an incredible scene,
• 19:08
  Speaker 13: and what a what a bizarre night it had to
• 19:10
  Speaker 13: have been.
• 19:11
  Speaker 20: It was a rather surreal night. And you know, we
• 19:13
  Speaker 20: we live now in a series of surreal days and events.
• 19:16
  Speaker 20: We're an unprecedented times you know that the Trump administration
• 19:19
  Speaker 20: has his two terms have been marked now by what
• 19:23
  Speaker 20: three assassinate three failed assassination attempts. I read a little
• 19:27
  Speaker 20: bit about that on social media, just my thoughts on it,
• 19:31
  Speaker 20: but yes, it was. It was a surreal evening when
• 19:34
  Speaker 20: when the event occurred, I was up on the upper platform.
• 19:38
  Speaker 20: I know you've been in that ballroom many times, Todd,
• 19:40
  Speaker 20: but the giant Hilton ballroom, I think there was over
• 19:43
  Speaker 20: twenty five hundred people there. But I was up on
• 19:46
  Speaker 20: the upper deck taking photos with people and trying to
• 19:49
  Speaker 20: get out of that crowd to get back to my table,
• 19:51
  Speaker 20: and all of a sudden, the next thing I knew,
• 19:53
  Speaker 20: my secret, my Capitol police detail came and grabbed me
• 19:56
  Speaker 20: by my shoulders literally and pushed me out the door
• 19:59
  Speaker 20: and down to the first exit, and half the team
• 20:02
  Speaker 20: came with me. The other half went to grab my wife, Kelly,
• 20:04
  Speaker 20: who was across on the other side of the ballroom,
• 20:07
  Speaker 20: and pushed her out another door.
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 20:09
  Speaker 20: And there was just a chaotic scene and so we
• 20:11
  Speaker 20: we sat. My phone was left at the table, and
• 20:13
  Speaker 20: so I couldn't follow anything as I was sitting in
• 20:16
  Speaker 20: the in our vehicles under the hotel to figure out
• 20:20
  Speaker 20: what was going on. So I was I was relying
• 20:21
  Speaker 20: upon my detail to give me the updates. Just the
• 20:24
  Speaker 20: whole thing a surreal evening. Uh and and another sign
• 20:29
  Speaker 20: that we live in very unusual times.
• 20:30
  Speaker 13: So you had you had no idea that because you know,
• 20:33
  Speaker 13: you could hear and a lot of people thought, even
• 20:36
  Speaker 13: the president thought somebody had dropped a tray or something.
• 20:39
  Speaker 13: So you had no idea until you were you were
• 20:42
  Speaker 13: in the safety of the vehicle.
• 20:44
  Speaker 20: Yeah, I didn't even hear the gunshots because it was
• 20:46
  Speaker 20: where I was up on the upper platform. It's a
• 20:49
  Speaker 20: giant room. I mean, you can almost play football in
• 20:51
  Speaker 20: that that room. The there was a lot of chatter
• 20:55
  Speaker 20: and and you know talk, and so I didn't hear it.
• 20:57
  Speaker 20: So I didn't know what was going on at all.
• 20:59
  Speaker 20: And the folk that you've seen the Reuter's image, somebody
• 21:01
  Speaker 20: was there, you know, with a photo with a camera,
• 21:04
  Speaker 20: I guess, in the in the lobby, and they were
• 21:07
  Speaker 20: running me to the vehicle where I met my wife.
• 21:10
  Speaker 20: It was just a wild night. And then you know,
• 21:13
  Speaker 20: of course we talked with all of our colleagues and
• 21:15
  Speaker 20: friends who were in the room all night and all day.
• 21:17
  Speaker 20: Today it's a Sunday afternoon. Uh, it's been it's been
• 21:21
  Speaker 20: a busy time.
• 21:22
  Speaker 13: You know.
• 21:22
  Speaker 20: Look, I would tip my hat to our you know,
• 21:25
  Speaker 20: law enforcement first responders. They acted so quickly to bring
• 21:28
  Speaker 20: the situation under control. You know, there's some scrutiny and
• 21:31
  Speaker 20: criticism of Secret Service and you know how the event
• 21:34
  Speaker 20: was handled. But you know, when you're in a large
• 21:36
  Speaker 20: venue like that, at a hotel like that, it's a
• 21:39
  Speaker 20: serious challenge. And you know, obviously we need to review
• 21:42
  Speaker 20: all that. Obviously we need to make changes were necessary.
• 21:45
  Speaker 20: But you know, the people that were there, I can
• 21:48
  Speaker 20: tell you they acted valiantly, the law enforcement and Capitol Police,
• 21:52
  Speaker 20: Secret Service, and they they jumped into action and they
• 21:55
  Speaker 20: protected people, and that's their job, and so I'm grateful
• 21:58
  Speaker 20: they're willing to do it.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: I wonder about the security aspect. You know, I've been
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: in that facility and a number of times for a
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: number of different events, and I can see how somebody
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: would have been able to get in there. But I
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: wonder if if that's really the If that's really the
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: big issue here is do we need to have that
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: at that event at a more secure location?
• 22:22
  Speaker 20: Well, I mean, is there a more secure location that's
• 22:25
  Speaker 20: the challenge. You know, you heard the President spontaneously in
• 22:27
  Speaker 20: his press conference last night, which I thought was really
• 22:29
  Speaker 20: well done. He mentioned the necessity of the ballroom, and
• 22:33
  Speaker 20: that is one of the prior, in primary motivations for
• 22:37
  Speaker 20: having that facility. He's described some of the you know,
• 22:41
  Speaker 20: the safety features of that new construction. I mean, the windows,
• 22:45
  Speaker 20: for example, would be seven inches thick, and they could
• 22:48
  Speaker 20: take an automatic weapon at close range and not have
• 22:50
  Speaker 20: the bullet go through. You know, it would be a
• 22:53
  Speaker 20: super secure facility for events of this kind because you
• 22:56
  Speaker 20: would be on the White House compound, completely surrounded in
• 22:58
  Speaker 20: all the rest. When you're going to commercial facility like
• 23:00
  Speaker 20: a hotel, I mean the Hilton Hotel. There is a
• 23:04
  Speaker 20: giant venue. It's used for all sorts that we do
• 23:06
  Speaker 20: the National Prayer breakfast there. We do you know, Washington
• 23:10
  Speaker 20: Marti Gras in my state of Louisiana's annual about eighty
• 23:13
  Speaker 20: year tradition is there in that same ballroom. There's a
• 23:15
  Speaker 20: literal Marti Gras parade with floats and everything that goes
• 23:18
  Speaker 20: around that ballroom. It's so large, so it's one of
• 23:20
  Speaker 20: the only places that can accommodate a crowd that size.
• 23:23
  Speaker 20: So the analysis now, Todd, is that will we be
• 23:26
  Speaker 20: able to continue having large events where you have you know,
• 23:29
  Speaker 20: last night in the you know, last night in the ballroom,
• 23:31
  Speaker 20: you had the president, the vice president, the Speaker of
• 23:33
  Speaker 20: the House, and you know, most of the cabinet. You know,
• 23:37
  Speaker 20: I guess everybody's reevaluating where we can all be in
• 23:40
  Speaker 20: the room together. The line of succession would have gone down.
• 23:43
  Speaker 20: Chuck Grassley would be the President of the United States
• 23:44
  Speaker 20: today if it had gone another way, you.
• 23:46
  Speaker 13: Know, a ninety two year old president of the United States.
• 23:49
  Speaker 13: And you're right, I mean that it was just a
• 23:52
  Speaker 13: you know when you step back and you're everyone's breathing
• 23:55
  Speaker 13: a sigh of relief, and then you wonder, oh my gosh,
• 23:58
  Speaker 13: what could have been if that guy would have gotten
• 24:00
  Speaker 13: into that room.
• 24:03
  Speaker 20: Yeah, it requires us to reflect on everything we do
• 24:07
  Speaker 20: and traditions. It's very sad about the state of the culture.
• 24:09
  Speaker 20: And you know, look, there's always I heard one of
• 24:13
  Speaker 20: my Democratic colleagues on television this morning's talking about gun control. Look,
• 24:18
  Speaker 20: this was small caliber, you know weapon apparently, And it's
• 24:23
  Speaker 20: the problem. The evil is not with the weapon that
• 24:27
  Speaker 20: is used. The problem is the human heart and that's
• 24:29
  Speaker 20: what we have to address. I thought the president's comment
• 24:32
  Speaker 20: last night at his press conference, he said, you know,
• 24:34
  Speaker 20: in light of this these events, I just asked all
• 24:36
  Speaker 20: Americans to recommit with their hearts to resolve in our
• 24:40
  Speaker 20: differences peacefully. What a concept, right, We've got to get
• 24:43
  Speaker 20: back to that.
• 24:44
  Speaker 13: Are you concerned about Cole Allen and what happens next?
• 24:49
  Speaker 13: We certainly saw this with the Mangioni shooting in New
• 24:52
  Speaker 13: York City, where he became the cause celeb for a
• 24:55
  Speaker 13: lot of very sick people in this country. And there
• 24:59
  Speaker 13: are concerns that might happen with this guy. His manifesto.
• 25:04
  Speaker 13: It's very clear that he was motivated to do what
• 25:08
  Speaker 13: he did based on all of the fake news that'spent
• 25:13
  Speaker 13: out there about the President of the administration and the Democrats.
• 25:16
  Speaker 13: I wonder if they bear some responsibility here.
• 25:20
  Speaker 20: Well, they do, and that should be part of our
• 25:22
  Speaker 20: dialogue going forward. We've got to turn down the temperature,
• 25:25
  Speaker 20: and we say that after one of these events every time.
• 25:27
  Speaker 20: I hope this individual last night, I don't even want
• 25:31
  Speaker 20: to say these guys names. They don't deserve the attention,
• 25:33
  Speaker 20: but you know they have him. He should spend the
• 25:35
  Speaker 20: rest of his life in prison, just like the guy
• 25:38
  Speaker 20: that they arrested on the golf course back in September
• 25:41
  Speaker 20: of twenty four on the second failed assassination attempt will
• 25:43
  Speaker 20: be behind bars forever, and he should be, because they're
• 25:46
  Speaker 20: a danger to society. And when you have political figures
• 25:48
  Speaker 20: and those with big social media platforms and the rest
• 25:51
  Speaker 20: people have influence who use this not just divisive language,
• 25:56
  Speaker 20: but the incitement of violence, it's got to stop. I mean,
• 25:59
  Speaker 20: this is going to lead us our society and our
• 26:01
  Speaker 20: culture into some very dark places, as it already has.
• 26:04
  Speaker 20: And I think everybody in any position of influence like
• 26:07
  Speaker 20: that has to act responsibly. And that's certainly a conversation
• 26:11
  Speaker 20: we need to continue to have.
• 26:12
  Speaker 13: Mister speaker. A couple of things that observations I noticed.
• 26:17
  Speaker 13: I know Stephen Miller has come under such ferocious attack
• 26:20
  Speaker 13: and the media among Democrats up on Capitol Hill, But
• 26:24
  Speaker 13: for me, the true nature I think of people. You
• 26:27
  Speaker 13: sort of see it when a situation like the situation
• 26:29
  Speaker 13: like this unfolds, and to see him shielding his pregnant
• 26:33
  Speaker 13: wife with his own body, it just really does tell
• 26:38
  Speaker 13: you these are human beings, and these are good people
• 26:41
  Speaker 13: that have really been I think, just slandered by the
• 26:46
  Speaker 13: media and the Democrats.
• 26:48
  Speaker 20: Of course, And they are a great people serving in
• 26:50
  Speaker 20: this cabinet. I saw that photo. That's who he is,
• 26:54
  Speaker 20: That's who all these people are. They're great Americans. I mean,
• 26:57
  Speaker 20: they take a tremendous amount of abuse and criticism and
• 27:01
  Speaker 20: even you know threat. I mean half the cabinet now
• 27:04
  Speaker 20: lives on military basis because they're under constant threat. It
• 27:07
  Speaker 20: should not be this way. And yet in the face
• 27:10
  Speaker 20: of all that, people are still willing to serve. You know,
• 27:14
  Speaker 20: it's it's a dangerous time, the threat levels increased, and
• 27:17
  Speaker 20: yet they face that every day to do their job.
• 27:20
  Speaker 20: Why because they care about the country. They're certainly not
• 27:22
  Speaker 20: doing it for public favoritism, certainly not doing it for
• 27:26
  Speaker 20: you know, wealth building. They're doing it because they're patriots
• 27:29
  Speaker 20: and they're willing to take the risk. And so I
• 27:31
  Speaker 20: think it was a good sign of character on a
• 27:32
  Speaker 20: lot of people's part last night. And as the President
• 27:35
  Speaker 20: noted as well, Todd, you know, it really was a
• 27:37
  Speaker 20: moment of unity in that ballroom. And that's another thing,
• 27:40
  Speaker 20: you know, we all remember fondly after the only the
• 27:42
  Speaker 20: only good thing about the tremendous and unspeakable tragedy that
• 27:46
  Speaker 20: was nine to eleven. Was the couple of days after
• 27:49
  Speaker 20: that where the nation was united as Americans, you know,
• 27:52
  Speaker 20: and Congress all stood out on the steps and saying
• 27:54
  Speaker 20: God bless America together and all of that, and the
• 27:57
  Speaker 20: presidents saw that, we all felt it last night, and
• 27:59
  Speaker 20: they aftermath of the event, and even before it it
• 28:02
  Speaker 20: was a good kind of a breed acre in the room.
• 28:04
  Speaker 20: And gosh, that's the best of America. I feel like Lincoln,
• 28:07
  Speaker 20: you know, we had to appeal to our better angels,
• 28:09
  Speaker 20: and I hope we still can.
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: Agreed, mister speaker, before we let you go, there has
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: been a lot of talk. We've had a lot of
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: members of your caucus on my radio show and TV
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: show calling.
• 28:19
  Speaker 13: Out Majority Leader Thoon and saying we have got to
• 28:22
  Speaker 13: pass the Save America Act. Where do things stand out?
• 28:26
  Speaker 13: And if you had any conversations with the Majority leader
• 28:28
  Speaker 13: about getting that through?
• 28:31
  Speaker 20: Yes, I mean every time we speak, I talk with
• 28:34
  Speaker 20: him about that. Of course, we've passed a version of
• 28:36
  Speaker 20: that at least three times in the House, and it's
• 28:38
  Speaker 20: sitting over there that the problem is not with the Republicans,
• 28:42
  Speaker 20: of course, it's with the threshold of sixty votes that
• 28:45
  Speaker 20: is necessary to move it, and they can't get any
• 28:47
  Speaker 20: Democrats to do that because, as the President rightfully notes
• 28:50
  Speaker 20: that he does it, you know, they rely upon geating
• 28:52
  Speaker 20: and elections, I mean, not the fact. Why else would
• 28:54
  Speaker 20: they oppose citizenship as proof to register to vote and
• 28:58
  Speaker 20: a photo ID when you show up. These are ninety
• 29:00
  Speaker 20: ten issues in public opinion, and seventy percent of the
• 29:02
  Speaker 20: Democrats agree, and yet they won't vote. So Dune has
• 29:05
  Speaker 20: a problem.
• 29:06
  Speaker 15: Really.
• 29:06
  Speaker 20: The only way to get around that is to break
• 29:08
  Speaker 20: the filibuster. And that's the big talk right now. I'm concerned, Todd.
• 29:13
  Speaker 20: I mean, you know, my background's constitutional law. I think
• 29:15
  Speaker 20: very carefully about risk and benefits and consequences of these things.
• 29:20
  Speaker 20: But I will tell you that I am becoming convinced
• 29:22
  Speaker 20: that the Democrats will certainly nuke the filibuster if they're
• 29:26
  Speaker 20: ever allowed unified government and control again. And that's a
• 29:29
  Speaker 20: frightful thing that we've got to take into consideration, and
• 29:32
  Speaker 20: I think it should determine our courses of action right now.
• 29:34
  Speaker 13: Absolutely, Well, mister speaker, really appreciate your time today. Thank you, sir, you.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: Too, my friend. Great to talk to you.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, Thank you, Jellen. We almost blew out speakers across America.

  Speaker 4: to all of that information again our telephone number nine
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: oh one two six zero five nine two six. That's
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: nine oh one two six zero five, nine to six.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: So a lot of people are really upset about the
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: security issue, and I know one of them, Carry Lake
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: and the Carrie Lake, by the way, is going to
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: be on my NEWSMAC show tonight. Here's what she had
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: to say. She was actually in the room last night.
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: Cut number one place Adia.
• 31:58
  Speaker 21: How the media carried to your point hand this story
• 32:01
  Speaker 21: and whether they tell the truth about the threats to
• 32:04
  Speaker 21: this president and the dangerous rhetoric and all that your
• 32:06
  Speaker 21: quick final thought, because we're getting closer to the President
• 32:09
  Speaker 21: coming out, Well, I.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Hope the President delivers what he was going to deliver tonight,
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: which is probably going to be sharp, poining it and funny. Yeah,
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: and you know, I don't know who was in charge
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: of security tonight. I felt it was lax. I was
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: very concerned walking in. I thought, this is very lax.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: I've been to a million of these events with the President.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: Never seen it this lax, especially considering the group that
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: we were in. And you know, I think I think
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: the media from CNN, who I sat and talked to,
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: and I don't I don't play around. I don't act
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: like I like people when I'm in public with them
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: because I'm sitting next to them and we're at an
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: event that's a party. I told the people at CNN
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: and you guys have been derelict in your duties to
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: the American people. I'm always going to do that because
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: I think that as a journalist, you have a duty
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: to tell the truth. And I'm glad that Newsmax is
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: doing that. I look forward to seeing what the President.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: I'm a two blocks from the event, waiting for my ride.
• 33:01
  Speaker 8: To pick me up.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: We never had our dinner, we never had the enjoyment
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: of hearing the president speak, but we know that we support.
• 33:09
  Speaker 21: Him and we're to say it and we're glad he's saved.
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: Kerry, We're glad you're safe as well. Thank you, Carrie.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: Late by the way, Dylan, and if you saw any
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: of the video, I was watching the c SPAN. I
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: was watching the c SPAN coverage only because they they
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: were the only ones covering it when it actually happened.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: So the way it works, everybody comes in, they do
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: the pledge of all agency or national anthem or something.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: They had the posting of the colors, and then everybody
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: eats their dinner, and then about an hour later they
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: come back and they do the show. And that's what
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: was going on. They had just wrapped up. Everybody sat
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: down and c SPAN's doing the coverage, and it was
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: it was somewhat comical because they're like, oh, we believe
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: there's been a problem. Yeah, this is a sea Span.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: They talk with the Golf voice and they couldn't figure
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: out what was going on. So I had to flip
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: over to Fox, and of course everybody, you know, they
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: were all over the story at that point. But what
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: I thought was interesting. You know, they were accusing oh
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: who wasn't the media. They've been accusing Cash Betel and
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: Pete hex Seth basically being drunkards. And I thought it
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: was interesting they kept the cameras going even after the
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: attack and people are milling about and Dylan, there's video
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: of the journalist actually stealing bottles of wine from the tabletops,
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: of course, and one of them and look, look after
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: you survived a terrorist attack, you're probably gonna want a
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: drink or two. I'd be going through a couple of
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: six packs of dr pepper after that. I was telling you.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: But there's a woman and she had like this giant
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: coat on it, and it was like she was in
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: one of those videos, one of the reparations videos, you know,
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: where they're going into the Walgreens and just like loading up,
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: and she had she grabbed like two bottles of wine
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: and was putting them in the coat.
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: They're probably really expensive bottles of wine.
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: The other favorite part this was great. This would have
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: been me. So you know, all these reporters are ducking
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: under the tables and you could tell some not all
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: of them did, like Pete hag Seth. He wasn't going
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: anywhere on that grunt. He was standing his ground. Franklin Graham,
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: you heard him. There's some guy and everybody around him
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: is on the floor. He's sitting there and he's just
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: eating a salad. He's eating the food.
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: He's thinking, if it's my time, it's my time. But
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna enjoy it.
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna go in an empty stomach. I'll tell
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: you that much. All right, where's the appetizer? But you do,
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's what would you do in that situation.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: You got to see in real time people's reactions. And
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: one of the fascinating things that room filled with journalist Dylan.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: There must have been five thousand different variations of what
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: happened that night. I have never seen so many journalists
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: not get the story right. It's just unbelievable.
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, in that moment, you're probably just and
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: just the few seconds you get to remember what actually happened.
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: So yeah, I can imagine it's all kind of different.
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: So they had a mentalist. He was going to be
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: the guest speaker because Oz. Yeah, yeah, I was kind
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: of excited about that. And the President and First Lady
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: we're not going to stick around for that, so we
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: knew ahead of time they were leaving. So Oz went
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: over and that's what he was doing. He was literally
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: doing whatever kind of a prank or whatever he did
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: on the first lady. Yes, and it involved with the
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: name of Caroline Levitt's baby, which apparently which he didn't know,
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: but apparently he knew.
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's pretty good at this. He actually was the
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: one that did Joe Rogan's pen number. I don't know
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: if you remember that out So.
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: So anyway, that was what was happening. And so they
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: were like marveling at that, and then Milania looks up
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: and she's got a direct line of sight and she
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: was like, what's going on? You can see her asking
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: what's going on? So anyway, all right, we've got to
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: take a quick break here. Hey, in the break, head
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: over to the website Todd Sterns dot com. Vote in
• 37:00

• 38:01
  Speaker 4: a meal tonight, and they're going to visit Dylan. They're
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: going to visit the White House beehive, which is apparently
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: like a huge thing now in Washington, DC. And it
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: looks like they're hive looks like a little miniature version
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: of the White House. So there you go.
• 38:17
  Speaker 7: I did not know about this. I yeah, we would
• 38:20
  Speaker 7: have to look this up.
• 38:20
  Speaker 15: Who knew?
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: It's always it's always the small things. We have to
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: pay attention to the detail. By the way, right down
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: our telephone number n I know one two six zero
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: five nine two six. That's nine oh one two six
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: zero five nine two six. We have a jam packed show,
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: of course. First Hour House speaker Mike Johnson joining us,
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: Franklin Graham joining us tonight on the NEWSMAC Show, we

• 38:47
  Speaker 4: coming up a little bit later this hour, we have
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: Congressman Marlon Stutsman and the Congressman by the way, just wow,
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: just about fifty feet away from what went down in
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: the White House Correspondence dinner in that ball room. Well,
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: I want to go right away to a great, great
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: journalist from Real Clear Politics, Susan Cramtree joins us and
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: Susan great reporting, huge fan of the of the work
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: you're doing there at a nation's capital.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Thanks so much, Todd.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: Now I understand you know we've got some breaking news
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: that you were sharing on social media involving Susie Wiles.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: There's been a lot of concern from people that were
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: attending the dinner about the security and it seems as
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: though there may be some movement there. What can you
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: tell us, Well.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: It was announced today through a statement to Bill Mallusion,
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: that Susie Wiles is going to call a leadership meeting
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: with the Secret Service to go over protocols. They said
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: they're standing by Sean Kerran, the director of the Secret Service,
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: but they will do think that these protocols need to
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: be reviewed and re We have a lot of big
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: events coming up, the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: our country, the World Cup is coming up. These protocols
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: need to be reviewed so this doesn't happen any place again. This,
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: despite the heroicism on display Saturday night that prevented a tragedy,
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: this sad to say, was an epic failure on the
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: part of the Secret Service to have our cabinet members,
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: our president, vice president, dignitaries, members of the press court
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: underneath tables, fearful for their lives. Erica Kirk running out
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: of there saying she wanted to go home. This could
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: have been avoided, It should have been avoided, and it
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: was the planning. It's not the rank and file Secret
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Service members who are executing the plans. It's the people
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: and the supervisors that are putting them in a place
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: of failure.
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: You know what was shocking, Susan when you go back
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: and look at the video, which was a bit grainy
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: of when the guy, you know, bum rushed. They were
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: in the process of dismantling. I mean, there was nothing
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: for that guy to go through. They were dismantling all
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: of that. I mean, all this guy had to have
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: done was I hurled an ied or some sort of
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: an explosive device, and I think he may have possibly
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: been able to get into the ballroom at that point.
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's just really shocking. And I mean, you're right.
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: I mean the people inside that ballroom, the security forces,
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: they did the right thing, and they did what their
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: training told them to do. But my question is, how
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: is it that guy was able to get that close
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: to the ballroom?
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: That is the ultimate question. And they were dismantling it,
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: and they were sitting in an idle position. They weren't
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: in a robust security posture, and that is a leadership
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: issue to tell them do not dismantle that checkpoint. Those
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: mags intel well into the evening, if at all, until
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: the event is over. There were still people taking their
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: pictures on the red carpet. Stragglers come into these events
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: all the time. I guess they were going to use
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: the wand with them. But the bottom line is they
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: did rise to the occasion. They did tackle this man down.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: But it was a bit of luck. What if this
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: was an orchestrated attack with multiple people that were aligned
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: with one of our adversaries, It's not too far off
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: in the imagination because Iran. We're in the middle of
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: an war with Iran, and Iran has made no secret
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: of its desire to assassinate President Trump. And they had
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: even released a video that recirculated after Butler saying, showing
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: a drone assassinating Donald Trump on a golf course. And
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: so this was a bit of luck here that nothing happened,
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: and the heroicism of those individuals, officers and agents, but
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: it was a little too chaotic for my tse and
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: the whole model. They used a twenty twenty three Biden model.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: When Donald Trump broke the mold many times do I
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: have to say this Butler, he had an outdoor rally.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: They put inexperienced agents in charge of the security for
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: that rally, and the supervisors got They did not provide
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: any oversight to say, hey, that AGR building doesn't have
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: somebody on top of it, what are we going to
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: do about that? That is their role. And the supervisors
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: for that event, there are two of them, got promotions
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: and nobody got fired. And then even Sean Current, he
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: was both the hero and he had some failures that day.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: He's the leader. Where does the buck stop? He was
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: the leader of that detail. Donald Trump campaign detailed during
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Butler and he was given a promotion as well by
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump himself. So you know all of these things.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: You need to have a different attitude when it comes
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: to Donald Trump. We can't be using the same old mind.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: And I know they've made certain reforms in terms of
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: drones and you know, the security, but at the event
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: like this, it should have been a national special, special,
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: national security event, like the State of the Union, like inaugurations.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: There were too many Cabinet members in there for it
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: to not have that level of assets and preparation. And
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: maybe you don't even have it at a hotel anymore.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: Maybe these events can't be done.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: And you know, Susan Uh. And going back, this goes
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: back all the way to the days of Hillary Clinton,
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: where there have been there were a lot of issues
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: with the Secret Service when she you know, and when
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: the Secret Service would was out uh and you know,
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: all sorts of allegations of being involved with prostitutes and
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: all that kind of stuff. It just seems as though
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: there has been a lackadaisical atmosphere around the Secret Service.
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: You look at and I think you pointed this out,
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: Ryan Ruth, there were shots you know, the agents returned fire.
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: They and you know, they missed Apparently the same thing
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: happened Saturday night. Uh, and they missed this guy. And
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: I'm just wondering, how how is that possible?
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: There is a question also a friendly fire.
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: The Secret Service sources in the community have analyzed the
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: video over and over and again with me, and they're
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: questioning whether it was a friendly fire incident because no
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: one shot Cole Allan, but a uniform division officer was shot.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: And it was just too chaotic. There were too many
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: officers sitting idly. There was three officers backed up to
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: one wall just standing around chatting. That is not a
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: robust security posture. And I don't necessarily blame them. Who
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: where was their supervisor to tell them you were not
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: to dismantle that magnetometer and that checkpoint that was not
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: a real checkpoint that he you know, bum rushed through.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: It was a it was a dismantling check point. And
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: they were not in a robot security posture. So there
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: are many many things wrong with this. The I think
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: the last line of defense, which was really around the
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: president himself, they did their jobs, but the second layer
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: of defense that was closest to the ballroom. That was
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: not where you needed to be magging people. You should
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: be doing that outside farther out. And this is is
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: a there is a culture of corruption in the Secret Service.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: There is just people take care of their friends. They're
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: not They're not even disciplined. There's been a morale problem
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: for years and years and years. And you layer on
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: top of that the DEI priorities of that were mandated
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: by President Biden, and it was a real mess, and
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: you lost a lot of the talent and the seizure
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: agents out the door, especially after Butler, but also before
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: Butler and Susan.
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: Again, it's just the security of this president, especially with
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: the level of threats. There was the incident where they
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: went to a restaurant in DC and it looked as
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: though somebody had tipped off all those protesters that were
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: already in the dining room at that point. Why would
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: you even allow the president to enter that building once
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: you've you know, realize those protesters are there. Saturday night,
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: there was a woman who literally broke through the security
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: line and tried to rush the presidential motor Kane, Why
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: wasn't that woman engaged? You know, they sort of treated
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: her with kid gloves. It just seems to me that
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: we've really got to rethink how we're protecting our leaders
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: right now.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: That's absolutely right. And you know, Susie Wilds at Chief
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: of Staff the White House, she has announced that they
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: are going even though they are standing by Sean Curran
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: and the leadership of the Secret Service. They have said
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: that they've did a great job on Saturday night preventing
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: any tragedy, and that is true, but the overall security
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: posture and planning was obviously an epic failure. And when
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: you have d Nick Terry's and the President and the
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: vice president and all of his cabinet that was there
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: ducking under tables, you have Erica Kirk running out crying,
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: re traumatized. This is a failure, and unbelievable failure actually,
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: and highly preventable. That's the thing, because the even the
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: perpetrator was musing in his manifesto about how soft the
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: target was, and he was just surprised by how ridiculous
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: it was. He said, I will be dead if the
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: Secret Service does their job. The only reason why would
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: be able to answer questions afterwards is if they did
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: a horrendous job while he is alive. They did not
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: hit their target. And you know, I still give applaud
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: those agents and officers because it could have been a horrible, horrible,
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: but preventable tragedy.
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: Susan, real quick before we let you go. You know again,
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: the story that nobody seems to be talking about, but
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: you brought up a great point here, is that those
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: agents in that room, none of them have gotten a
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: paycheck in the past What seventy one seventy two days.
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: Do you think we're going to see any movement on that?
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: I hope so. I think that's just a ridiculous. It's
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: an abomination that these secret service ations that I've talked
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: to over the last few weeks, say especially those on
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: the Vice President's detail, because it's different than Kamala Harris
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: was lot less, did a lot less travel. They are.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: Their tempo is ridiculous, and they're having to pay for
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: their hotels and their meals themselves on their credit cards
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: and it's affecting their credit scores. I mean, can you
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: even imagine? And that yet you're supposed to be preparing
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: to protect the President of the United States and you're
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: dealing with you have to put your hotels on your
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: credit card when you travel to Pakistan. I mean, this
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: is beyond ridiculous, and so yes, I hope Congress gets
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: a message. I also hope Congress Senator Rand Paul starts
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: taking a harder look at the Secret Service and calls
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: the leadership up there Sean Current has not been forced
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: to answer tough questions by Congress of the Secret Service
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: since the Butler investigations, and he was never called in
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: front of Congress. Where are the reforms? Where is the
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: Congressional oversight? I think it's been highly lacking. I've been
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: saying that for months and months. There have been numerous incidents,
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: and I, you know, you can just go on on
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: my x feet and I talk about them constantly, and
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: I feel like I'm a lone voice in the wilderness.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: And it takes something a tragedy or an almost tragedy,
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: a too close for comfort situation like this for people
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: to really focus their attention on the fact that this
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: has has nothing to do with partisanship, has everything to
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: do with our continuity of government, absolutely.
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: And real quick on that. The reality is, we came
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: very close to having a ninety two year old man
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: as the president. Of the United States, the President pro tem, Uh,
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: Chuck Grassley, I mean he was next in line. That's
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: a very disturbing thing for folks to think about. Susan.
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: We're going to post a link to your Twitter feed
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: over our live show blog. Great reporting, and thank you
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: for the great work you're doing there in our nation's capital.
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: I'm so thankful for you for your focus on it.
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: Thanks for having me on to Susan Crabtree, everybody from
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: Real Clear Politics, and again, you can go back and
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: download the podcast. You'll be able to listen to all
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: three hours of the conversation, but also our our few
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: moments we've had with Susan Crabtree. And the question is
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: very simple, ladies and gentlemen, are are you satisfied with
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: the security provided to the president of these United States?
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: is our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: zero five nine two six. Well. This segment of The
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: Tom Stern Show brought to you by our friends at Newsmax.
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: A new study finding seventy percent of Americans are not
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: getting the full benefits that you deserve. Well. Social security
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: expert Michael Allen says there are five key strategies to
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: increase your benefits by as much as one hundred and
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: eighty eight thousand dollars over a lifetime, and Newsmax wants
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: to provide you that report free of charge. All you
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: have to do is call this number eight hundred nine
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: ninety six ninety that's eight hundred nine ninety six ninety
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: and we will send you the information right away eight
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: hundred nine nine ninety six ninety. Text and data rates
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: may apply. All right. I'm being told by the team
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: that Caroline Levitt is holding the White House press briefing.
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: We're going to try to dip into some of that.
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: Let's see what she's saying about the weekend events at.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: The White House.
• 53:00
  Speaker 18: Is reviewing the security protocols for things that could be
• 53:03
  Speaker 18: done differently in the future. Have you identified anything so
• 53:07
  Speaker 18: far that you would like to see done differently or
• 53:09
  Speaker 18: ask the Secret Service to make any changes in the
• 53:11
  Speaker 18: security protocols for the president, particularly at these large events
• 53:15
  Speaker 18: that are taking place off the White House campus.
• 53:17
  Speaker 17: Not yet, No, but as I said, there will be
• 53:19
  Speaker 17: a meeting here at the White House and the earlier
• 53:22
  Speaker 17: half of this week, so those conversations will take place
• 53:25
  Speaker 17: and I would also just add, you know, look, the
• 53:28
  Speaker 17: Secret Service does not detail their procedures or operations to
• 53:32
  Speaker 17: the public for obvious reasons, because you have crazy people
• 53:35
  Speaker 17: who try to hijack them and get around them. So
• 53:38
  Speaker 17: these conversations will take place in private, but if adjustments
• 53:41
  Speaker 17: need to be made to protect the president, they will
• 53:43
  Speaker 17: be made.
• 53:45
  Speaker 7: Discussed.
• 53:46
  Speaker 18: Doing like it does, for instance, with a joint address
• 53:49
  Speaker 18: to Congress for these large events and designating someone as
• 53:52
  Speaker 18: the designated survivor for future large events at the cabinet attempts.
• 53:55
  Speaker 17: Well those conversations ahead of the WALKA dinner did take place,
• 53:58
  Speaker 17: but there were several members of the Cabinet in the
• 54:01
  Speaker 17: line of succession who did not attend for various personal reasons,
• 54:05
  Speaker 17: so designated one survivor was not necessary as we had
• 54:09
  Speaker 17: several members who were not there already.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Hours to dive under tables and fearing for their lives.
• 54:14
  Speaker 7: On the Saturday night, including many of the people in
• 54:16
  Speaker 7: this room.
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: Myself included what is the president's message to those.
• 54:19
  Speaker 15: People who experienced that terrible trauma and maybe are still
• 54:23
  Speaker 15: still fearful today.
• 54:25
  Speaker 17: I think he would say, as he sort of did
• 54:27
  Speaker 17: on Saturday night coming in here, in his tuxedo. You know,
• 54:31
  Speaker 17: we can't allow these crazy people to let us be afraid.
• 54:34
  Speaker 17: We have to keep moving forward, showing up, doing our job,
• 54:37
  Speaker 17: celebrating our country, and doing what we know is right.
• 54:40
  Speaker 17: But certainly we'd like to see the rhetoric against this
• 54:43
  Speaker 17: president and his supporters toned down because it is inspiring
• 54:47
  Speaker 17: these crazy people across the country to target not just
• 54:50
  Speaker 17: the president but those who work for him and those
• 54:52
  Speaker 17: who support him. And it must end.
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: Following the arraignment of the suspect.
• 54:56
  Speaker 17: Today, yes he is, and I know you all want
• 54:58
  Speaker 17: to follow that too. It's so it's happening in a
• 54:59
  Speaker 17: few minutes, so I'll let you all go. The Department
• 55:01
  Speaker 17: of Justice is also going to be speaking momentarily following
• 55:06
  Speaker 17: the arraignment, and I hope that pray that this is
• 55:09
  Speaker 17: the last time.
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: I speak to you. So we're going to dip out
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: of the press conference that's being wrapped up. As you
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: just heard the White House Press Secretary say the suspect
• 55:18
  Speaker 4: is going to be arraigned and he we will carry
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: that information for you as well. Hang tight, gotta take
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: a break. In the meantime, head over to tod Sterens
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: dot com. Vote in our poll in the live show blog.
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: Who do you blame for what happened over the weekend?
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: Hang tight, everybody, we have Congressman Marlon Stuntsman joining us
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: your calls as well. Nine oh one two six zero
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: five nine two six. This is the Todd Sterns Show.
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the ton Seearns
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: Radio Show. And just just for a moment here, you know,
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: I want to go back and play some audio, and
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: this is Don Lemon, Don Lemon, formerly of CNN. Just
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: take a listen to what he said about the Republican Party.
• 56:23
  Speaker 12: We tried to warn the folks, but the folks wouldn't listen.
• 56:27
  Speaker 12: Some folks wouldn't listen, Like Bill O'Reilly used to say,
• 56:30
  Speaker 12: the folks, some of the folks just wouldn't listen. And
• 56:33
  Speaker 12: they didn't, and so they put this maniac, this incompetent
• 56:38
  Speaker 12: person back into office. We tried to tell you that
• 56:40
  Speaker 12: this was a very very bad, stupid man, but you
• 56:43
  Speaker 12: didn't listen. And now the GOP needs to burn to
• 56:47
  Speaker 12: the ground because they have gone along with everything he
• 56:51
  Speaker 12: has said. He has said, they have willingly gone along
• 56:54
  Speaker 12: with his cult.
• 56:57
  Speaker 4: All right, that was Don Lemon, and now I want
• 57:00
  Speaker 4: you to hear from Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz cut number
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: two please.
• 57:05
  Speaker 22: The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark
• 57:08
  Speaker 22: Milly said, no one has ever been more dangerous to
• 57:12
  Speaker 22: this country than Donald Trump, and he is a fascist
• 57:15
  Speaker 22: to his core. All right, let that sink in, and
• 57:21
  Speaker 22: don't be a damn bit afraid of saying it, because
• 57:23
  Speaker 22: that's exactly who he is.
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: All Right, there you go, just a little bit of
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: the rhetoric we paid. We played almost two minutes of
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: it earlier in the show. I want to go right
• 57:33
  Speaker 4: away to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. Say hello to
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: our good friend from the great state of Indiana, Congressman
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: Marlon Stuntsman, a congressman. You were there in that ballroom,
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: and you were not very far away from where the
• 57:46
  Speaker 4: gunman eventually got taken down.
• 57:51
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 57:51
  Speaker 23: Great to be with you. And I was actually sitting
• 57:55
  Speaker 23: towards the middle aisle, towards the and the gun shots
• 58:00
  Speaker 23: that I heard, sure, but I believe they were from
• 58:04
  Speaker 23: security shooting. There was four shots, they were big phones,
• 58:08
  Speaker 23: and we all hit the deck. We immediately knew they
• 58:11
  Speaker 23: were gunshots from where we were sitting I can see why,
• 58:14
  Speaker 23: you know, where President Trump was sitting up further on
• 58:18
  Speaker 23: the daist, you know, may not have heard them as
• 58:21
  Speaker 23: loudly and clearly as we did, but they were very clear.
• 58:25
  Speaker 23: And you know, I Todd, I was really surprised at
• 58:28
  Speaker 23: how lax the security was going into the hotel Saturday night.
• 58:32
  Speaker 23: I mean, if you go to the White House to see,
• 58:35
  Speaker 23: you know, for an event with the President, I mean,
• 58:37
  Speaker 23: you have to show your ID. They match your name
• 58:40
  Speaker 23: to a registry. We just showed a card that was
• 58:42
  Speaker 23: about two by three inches and flashed that several times
• 58:46
  Speaker 23: and then had to go through security metal detectors right
• 58:50
  Speaker 23: outside the ballroom. So I think there should be a
• 58:52
  Speaker 23: lot of questions asked about how the hotel handled security
• 58:55
  Speaker 23: for big events like that.
• 58:56
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I'm with you, and I've been in that
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: ballroom many many times in the past, and I was
• 59:03
  Speaker 4: just surprised at, you know, how that guy was able
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: to get to that point, the fact that there were
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: no there were no checkpoints. You know, I guess deeper
• 59:12
  Speaker 4: into the hotel that this guy was basically I mean
• 59:15
  Speaker 4: we were talking to Susan Cramtree with real clear politics.
• 59:18
  Speaker 4: In the last segment, this guy could have thrown, he
• 59:21
  Speaker 4: could have hurled, an ied, stunned everybody because nobody was looking,
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: nobody was paying attention. They were literally tearing down the
• 59:28
  Speaker 4: security entrances there.
• 59:32
  Speaker 23: Well, and remember this too, Todd. The city or the
• 59:35
  Speaker 23: hotel is in DC, which is basically a gun free zone.
• 59:40
  Speaker 23: And this guy smuggled shotgun pistols into a hotel at
• 59:45
  Speaker 23: DC Hotel and was a guest there at the hotel
• 59:50
  Speaker 23: for several you know, for a day, it sounds like.
• 59:53
  Speaker 23: And so the fact that he was already in the hotel,
• 59:56
  Speaker 23: and then knowing that earlier last week the first Lady
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 23: Luncheon was in that same hotel on Wednesday, then the
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 23: Correspondence dinner on Saturday, you would think that the security
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 23: would have been much better around that entire complex. And
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 23: so you're exactly right as far as he got in there.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 23: And the fact that he ran through that security checkpoint
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 23: that we all see on TV. I mean that was
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 23: like a wide open you know, like a running back
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 23: running right up the middle, and nobody there should have
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 23: been some sort of of a barrier there if nobody's
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 23: going to prevent that hole from being blocked. I mean,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 23: he ran right through it he did.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 4: It's there but for the grace of God, you know,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: and again we just had to be so thankful that
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: the president was okay. But again, Congressman, you know, when
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 4: you look at the other people that were there, everybody
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: in the line of succession was in danger, asidne from
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: Chuck Grassley, who would have been next to the line
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: after Mike Johnson, who I don't believe was there. But again,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: it just I wonder if we're really going to have
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: to rethink who's going to be in those kinds of
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 4: large gathering like that.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 23: Well, again, I go back to the security of the facility,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 23: and that's my bigger concern. Mike Johnson was there as well,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 23: so you had, of course the vice president Mike Johnson,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 23: and then you would know after that that the line
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 23: up there. But there were a lot of cabinet members.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 23: There were ladies that told me that they didn't even
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 23: inspect their purse going in, and you know, I know
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 23: that again, there was no matching up of who was
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 23: in the audience. We just all had these little cards
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 23: that we had to show to get in. And I
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 23: understand it's a big gathering, but you know, in this
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 23: day and age, and as you were talking about earlier,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 23: that rhetoric coming from the left, it is so over
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 23: the top. And the fact that even you know, Norah
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 23: O'Donnell on sixty minutes last night reads part the worst
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 23: part of the manifesto. The left has pushed this full
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 23: narrative on President Trump over the epste files, pedophile rapist,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 23: and you know, that's their Russia collusion narrative of this
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 23: time around. And you know when these people on social media,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 23: you know, read all this stuff, they start to believe
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 23: that's the reality. And I tell you that's what's causing this.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 23: You know that the bullets are coming from the left,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 23: They're not coming from the right. Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 23: President Trump has nearly been assassinated three times. And it's
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 23: getting to be too much, frankly, And that's where I'm getting,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 23: you know, upset. And you know the fact that we
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 23: haven't funded DHS a secret service. They haven't gotten a paycheck.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 23: And if irresponsible that that Secret Service agent that stood
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 23: right in front of President Trump as soon as the
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 23: agents came in, that man put his life on the
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 23: line for President Trump and he's not getting a paycheck.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 23: The fact that they have our back, and that we
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 23: aren't getting them paid means that we don't have their back.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 23: It's it's terrible and irresponsible.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 4: Well, that's a great point you raised in and Susan
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 4: Cramtree has been doing some extensive reporting on this over
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 4: real clear politics. She says, Congressman, this is just insane
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 4: that the that the Secret Service agents are having to
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 4: put all their expenses on their personal credit cards because
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: there's no money, and that's just unacceptable. And I'm wondering
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 4: why the first order of business today was not to
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: bring back Congress specifically to start funding Secret Service and
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: DHS again.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 23: Yeah, I mean, you know, the House Republicans, we have
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 23: funded it multiple times. This latest Senate version that was
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 23: just past the end of last week only funds Border
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 23: patrol and ice. They're leaving out Secret Service BSA. I
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 23: don't understand the strategy at all, but you know, when
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 23: we need to get back to DC, and it should
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 23: be a voice vote. It shouldn't even have to be
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 23: a roll call vote. This should be a voice vote,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 23: and all of DHS should be funded. And let's get
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 23: past this craziness. Because here you have, on one hand,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 23: the Democrat leadership trying to shut off funding for ice
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 23: border patrol, and then it ultimately funds shuts off funding
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 23: for Secret Service and TSA that's supposed to keep our
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 23: people safe. Then you have Jimmy Kimmel out there saying
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 23: some of the most heinous things that you could be
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 23: said right before the dinner. And you know the other
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 23: thing that I found todd as I was walking into
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 23: the hotel for the dinner, the protesters outside were speaking
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 23: some of the most vile language I've ever seen in
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 23: a situation like that, And I felt completely vulnerable walking
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 23: in there, the way that they were yelling at us.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 23: And what these people need to realize they have created
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 23: these monsters. The left has created these monsters. And and
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 23: you know, with the whole narrative against Trump, it's now,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 23: you know, bleeding all the way down to these people,
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 23: and they're starting to take matters of of their own hands.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 23: And that's what happened the other.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 4: Night, Congressman Marlin Stutsman joining us on our Patriot Mobile
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 4: newsmaker line. And you mentioned Jimmy Kimmel, who really made
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 4: some hateful jokes before the dinner, referring to her as
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 4: an expectant widow and now a congressman. Milania Trump posting
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 4: a statement and I want to read this to you.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 4: She posted this on her ex account. Kimmel's hateful and
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 4: violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 4: about my family is not comedy. His words are corrosive
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 4: and deepens a political sickness within America. People like Kimmel
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 4: should not have the opportunity to enter our homes each
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 4: evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: because he knows the network will keep running cover to
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 4: protect him. Enough is enough. It is time for ABC
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 4: to take a stand. What do you say about what
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: the first lady just wrote there?
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 23: I completely agree he should be fired. ABC should be
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 23: ashamed of himself for allowing their propaganda to continue every
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 23: night on this late night TV show. And you know
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 23: the words that are being said. You know, remember the
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 23: old saying. You know that the six and stones may
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 23: break my bones, but words will never hurt me. That's
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 23: not true. We all know that words are powerful. I mean,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 23: look at the challenges that we have with Iran right now.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 23: I mean, these guys are terrorists and their rhetoric matches
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 23: up to it. We don't need that same sort of
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 23: narrative in our country, where we're basically provoking people to
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 23: shoot at our presidents and or going after the family.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 23: The fact that you know, the first lady had the
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 23: FBI going through her personal bedroom at Mar A Lago
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 23: is insane. And I just hope that those who were
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 23: in that room, I mean it was there were conservative commentators,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 23: there were liberal commentators, Republicans, Democrats. I hope, you know,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 23: we all felt a vulnerability and that moment by a
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 23: crazy man, a terrorist on the outside. Every person should
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 23: stop and think, what do I what I say, how
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 23: will it affect somebody else that may not understand exactly
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 23: how this whole political uh, you know, speech works. We've
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 23: got to be careful with that. And you know, I
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 23: was talking to some Democrats that were there that night,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 23: and they even told me that their party had left them,
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 23: that it's a very different party than what it was
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 23: back in the nineties. And so I hope the Democrat
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 23: Party does some soul searching, and that needs to start
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 23: with the leftist media, that they realize that their words
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 23: do have a lot of power with their voters.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 4: And God, God loved Caroline love it. She's name and names,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 4: and just a few moments ago during the press briefing,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 4: she specifically called out Hawking, Jeffreys, Josh Shapiro, Alex Padilla,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 4: Elizabeth Warren, Adam Schiff, JB. Prisker, and the law and
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 4: it goes on and on and on. In congressman, I'm
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, I love people like Robbie George, you know,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 4: the theologian from Princeton, But he's like you know, Bo, No,
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 4: there's not a both sides here. It's only one side
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 4: that's going out there and killing conservatives, and it's the
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: Democrats and their cronies, and they have got to deal
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 4: with us.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 23: Yeah, that's right. And you know what should we should
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 23: never allow political violence on the right, and we should
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 23: never allow political violence on the left. And it's only
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 23: coming from the left right now. And you know what,
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 23: I will stand with anybody on the other side against
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 23: any sort of violence coming from either side. But right
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 23: now we all know it's coming from the left. Is
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 23: because of people like Jimmy Kimmel and Nora O'Donnell and
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 23: Tim I mean Tim Wolf's Governor Wolfs.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 4: I heard the.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 23: Clip that you played before coming on. I mean you know,
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 23: saying that President Trump is a Nazi fascist, all that stuff,
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 23: it's just not true. And to continue calling him a
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 23: pedophile and a rapist, it's just not true, and that
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 23: stuff needs to stop. That's where these people need to
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 23: be adults and grow up.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 4: All right, well, Congressman, we're going to leave it there.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 4: We are glad that you are safe. One of your colleagues,
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 4: Abe Hammaday is going to be joining us a little
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 4: bit later on Newsbanks tonight and we look forward to
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 4: talking with him. Thank you, Congressman, Thank you.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 23: Doug always going to be with you.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 4: All right. There you have that, ladies and gentlemen, and
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 4: Malania Trump is just furious right now. And we're going
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 4: to play the audio of Jimmy Kimmel and what he
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 4: said that sent her off coming up after the break.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 4: But again it's you know, I don't know if people
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 4: really understand what the left has done in this country
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 4: right now. You have I mean, when you look at
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 4: Ryan Ruth, when you look at Cole Allen, when you
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 4: look at all of these people that are out there,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 4: the guy who assassinated Charlie Kirk, these are all and
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 4: I don't like to use this phrase, but they're nobodies.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 4: The problem is they've all been radicalized, and they've all
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 4: been radicalized online by a lot of the garbage that's
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: been spewing from these websites and from social media sites.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 4: And so you have to wonder exactly how many more
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 4: people are like that out there, and what if they
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 4: start just randomly targeting conservatives. That seems to be the
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 4: concern here. But this is where Barack Cussein Obama and
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 4: Barack Hussein Obama, well, we don't know, We have no
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 4: idea who did this or why they did it. No,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 4: they do. All you have to do is read the
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 4: manifesto Barack Hussein Obama. And it's gonna take Barack Hussein
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 4: Obama and all these other folks standing up and saying
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 4: we've been wrong, we apologize, we've got to make this right.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 4: But even I don't even know if that's going to
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 4: be enough to stop this mob. All right, got to
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 4: take a break. This is the Todd Stern Show. All Right,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 4: here's what Jimmy Kimmel said about Milania Trump.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 23: Our first lady Milania is here.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 21: Look at more so beautiful missus Trump. You have a
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 21: glow like an expectant widow.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 4: It's you know, they they pulled that cramp with Barack Obama,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 4: Jimmy Kimmel would have been run out of the country.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 4: That's what would have happened. It's unaccemptable. Let's go to
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 4: the phones here nine oh one two six zero five
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 4: nine two six Ron in Salem, Oregon listening to us
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 4: on k y K and Ron, what's going on.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 24: I'm trying to keep my head together. Brother, God blessed
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 24: that the angels is around tech A president and our leaders.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 24: Second thing is the Republican Party in my in this
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 24: where's ron Stein Gruner, Gruder's at where's the backbone? It's
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 24: sad to say Milania and other women, even their press
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 24: secretary of mart for tupness and masculinity in the men,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 24: it's in Congress. They've been doing this stuff going back
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 24: to Carver Bretton and the president, going back last final
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 24: and everything else. And we keep kicking down the room,
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 24: going back to the forty fifties and sixties. When I
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 24: did history research, didn't matter which party was in at
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 24: that time period. You though there might have been segregation.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 24: If you acted against these issues like this, and you
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 24: have been charged, you have been phoned out of Congress,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 24: suspended from your cabrit positions. There have been rebuking on
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 24: both sides equally, But no, we're dealing with demons. It's
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 24: just like a song from the Old Jays. Don't call
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 24: me brother all I guys a bunch of sea cooks.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 24: You know what the rest of them means, sir. But
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 24: but we got to get some plotness. We keep enabling.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 24: We got invader since Biden came in office. I got
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 24: cussed up because I was wearing a twenty twenty no
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 24: more Bernie Sanders hat. You know what I'm saying. From
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 24: that sense that and at that time, you know from
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 24: young folks the driving cars, raising insurance, no loyalty, and
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 24: we're just enabling. We just must go along and get along.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 24: What's masterly gonna serve liberty or tyranny? God or the devil?
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 24: That's the question.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 4: I got to ask Todd these pray are these are
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 4: great points you're making ron and coming up for the
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 4: next hour, I'm gonna unleash a bit on this idea
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 4: that we are in a de facto state of war
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 4: with the Democrats. They're killing our people, they're trying to
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 4: kill the president, they've tried to do it four times.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 4: A lot of people forget about the other attack at
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 4: mar A Lago where shots were fired. They're coming after us,
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 4: and we have got to start playing hardball, and one
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 4: of the ways we can do that is with the
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 4: Republican controlled Congress. We've got to blow out that filibuster
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 4: and we've got to shove every single thing President Trump
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 4: wants to look if he wants to rename Washington d C,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 4: Trump DC, whatever he wants, to get it done, because
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 4: we are in a de facto state of war right now.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 4: Only one side is shooting, and I say that we
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 4: don't have to shoot. We can actually use the power
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 4: we have because we control everything, at least on paper,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 4: we're supposed to control everything. That's what we ought to
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 4: be doing. Ron got to run, my friend, Thank you
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 4: for that call. Nine oh one two six zero five
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 4: nine two six. Are you paying attention here, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 4: because we have got an opportunity and we've got to
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 4: shove every single agenda item right through Congress?
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 9: All right?
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 4: Hang tight? Our three coming up. Head over to Todd
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 4: Stearns dot com, Go check out the live show blog.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 4: Be sure to vote in our poll. We'll be right
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 4: back America.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: That's this American.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: Todd starts.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 4: You know, I, you know, I go back to Saturday Night,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 4: and I think this is a this ought to be
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 4: an inflection point in our nation's history and how we
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 4: deal with all of these people out there that are
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 4: filling up social media platforms calling for the death of
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 4: President Trump and the death of conservatives. And I am
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 4: I am pretty hardcore about this. You know, a lot
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 4: of people think, well, you know, there are some gray
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 4: areas here, and I think ultimately that's the problem with America,
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 4: is that there's too much gray the way I view life.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 4: And maybe this is because I'm a I'm a person
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 4: of faith. I'm a Christian man. I read my Bible
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 4: every day. I have a quiet time. I study the scriptures.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 4: And I don't pound I don't pound people over the
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 4: head with with my Bible. But it certainly is how
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 4: I approach things, and it certainly reflects my worldview. So
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 4: everything I do is viewed through the lens of script sure,
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 4: and I don't believe that there's gray area. If you
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 4: read the Bible by you know, and I don't. I'm
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 4: not even talking about being a hardcore Bible scholar, but
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 4: you know that there is no gray area. There is
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 4: no wiggle room in scripture. If there is right and
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 4: there is wrong. And I'll give you an example of this. Whenever,
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 4: whenever something happens to a Democrat lawmaker, for example, I'm
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 4: normally one of the very first people out there saying, hey,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 4: you know, we're praying for you, we were so sorry
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 4: for your loss. If that person has died. I mean
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 4: there is a sense of compassion because I believe that
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 4: we are called as Christians to be pro life, and
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 4: that doesn't mean just babies, it means everybody. I'm just
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 4: telling you that there's no there's no right there, there's
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 4: no gray area. It's right or wrong. And a lot
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 4: of times on the left, when something bad happens to
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 4: a Republican and there, I mean, people are celebrating, they're
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 4: carrying on. And let me say this, anybody who says
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 4: they're a conservative and they celebrate the death of a Democrat,
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 4: they're not really a conservative, certainly not a Christian, because
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 4: Christians don't behave like that. But that doesn't mean that
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 4: we have to be wallflowers. That doesn't mean that we
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 4: have to be namby pambies. It doesn't mean, as Christians
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 4: that are conservatives, that we have to be limp wristed.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 4: You do have a right to protect yourself. You have
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 4: a right to defend your property, you have a right
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 4: to defend your family. And I'm just folks, I you know,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 4: I'm a pretty heartened person.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 13: I do.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 4: I'm kind of like George H. W Bush though, and Dylan,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 4: you this was before your time, but hw Bush, you know,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 4: he served in the military, was a war hero, went
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 4: on to lead the CIA. I mean, he's he's been there,
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 4: He's seen a lot. Man. Could that guy just he
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 4: could tear up, you know he? I mean it's, oh,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 4: look at that pretty flower. And the next thing, you know,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 4: he's like crying, and you know, somebody, And I'm sort
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 4: of like that. I get a little weepy sometimes, not
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 4: all the time. But as I was sitting there watching
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 4: all of this transpire, and I watched the expression on
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 4: the face of the first lady and Caroline Lovett, who's
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 4: expecting a daughter any day now. When I saw the
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 4: expressions on their faces and the look of shock, and
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't say terror, but it was just confusion. Nobody
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 4: knew what was going on. They should never have had
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 4: to experience that, and the fact they did it disgusts
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 4: me and it angers me. And it wasn't so much
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 4: tears as much as it was anger on Saturday knowing
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 4: what almost happened. When you look at the layout of
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 4: that ballroom, it's very clear that the guy had clearly
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 4: scoped all of this out because he was very close
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 4: to being able to gain entry into that ballroom and
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 4: would have had a clear shot of the Dais. So
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 4: we thank God once again. You heard Franklin Graham in
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 4: the first hour of the program saying that he truly
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 4: believes that God, that God had his hand over Donald Trump.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 4: And I absolutely believe that to be true. I truly do.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 4: But again, I want to go back to this idea
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 4: of well, Christians are supposed to love, Yes they are,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 4: but even Jesus got angry. It's a righteous anger, and
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 4: we are compelled when we're angry to be righteous in
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 4: our anger. And I believe that we are we are
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 4: righteous in our anger here and I do believe that
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 4: we've got to start dealing with these people. I'll give
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 4: you an example. Immediately after and I we were talking
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 4: about this with Susan Cramtree from Real Clear Politics, and
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 4: she's done some stellar reporting on all of this. As
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 4: they were evacuating the president out of the building the motorcade,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 4: a woman, one of these unhinged, lunatic women, she broke
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 4: through the barricade and stormed rush. She was literally running
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 4: towards the presidential motorcade and they were telling her to stop, stop, stop,
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 4: and then somebody I think got their hand on her
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 4: and dragged her back in. I'm sorry, but why wasn't
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 4: she shot? Why was she not shot right there on
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 4: the spot? What did this woman would have had some
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 4: sort of an explosive device. She was that close she
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 4: could have hurled that. What if she had had a gun? Clearly,
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 4: I know the Beast is bulletproof, but again, why are
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 4: we allowing these protesters to get so close, these very
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 4: dangerous people to get so close to our president? And
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 4: I just I truly believe that moving forward, we have
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 4: to imagine that anybody who'd lunges at the president, lunges
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 4: at the motorcade, should be treated as a hostile element.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 4: And I also think we ought to start taking very
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 4: seriously when people like Jimmy Kimmel get on national television
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 4: and start joking or calling for the assassination of President Trump.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 4: Those people need to be arrested, and they need to
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 4: be held, and they need to be charged if crimes
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 4: were committed. And I don't care if it's fifty thousand people,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 4: every single one of them needs to be arrested. And
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 4: we also need to get to the bottom of where
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 4: this radicalization is coming from. And I think we need
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 4: to start in our nation's education system. These teachers are
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 4: filling the minds of these children with poison, and we've
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 4: got to address that. And if we, folks, how many
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 4: times have I said this on the program, if we
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 4: do not dismantle and deconstruct the Department of Education, we
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 4: will lose this country. But when you see where all
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 4: of this is coming from, these attacks, they're coming from
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 4: very well educated people. They're very uh the artistic community.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 4: This is what happened when communism rose up, When you
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 4: had people like Hitler, when you had people like Stalin,
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 4: when you folks Marxism, it all, it all starts in
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 4: these artistic in the artistic theater people community, that's where
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 4: it starts, and they truly believe that they are justified
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 4: in killing. There is an assassination culture in this country.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 4: It is frightening. You know, look at what happened, and
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 4: people are afraid this is going to happen with this guy.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 4: Look at what happened with the guy who killed the
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 4: healthcare executive in New York City on Sixth Avenue, right
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 4: there in front of the Grand Hyent, the Grand Hilton.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 4: My apologies. They're treating that guy like a rock start
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 4: out and people are very concerned that that's what's going
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 4: to hampened to this guy. Cole Allen is his name,
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 4: and people are going to start treating him like he's
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 4: some sort of a martyr for the cause. But when
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 4: you peel back all the layers here, folks, you you
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 4: at least this is how I see it, that we
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 4: have been living in an age of false flags perpetrated
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 4: by the Democrats, the Southern Poverty Law Center and the President,
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 4: by the way, talking about this during that that bizarre
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 4: sixty minutes interview yesterday, But the President talking about how
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 4: you know, and again at about racism and we're going
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 4: to play this, and then I want to say something
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 4: about the KKK cut number seven police.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 15: I see these no Kings which are funded just like
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 15: the Southern Law was funded. You saw all that Southern
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 15: Law is financing the KKK and lots of other radical,
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 15: terrible groups, and then they go out and they say, oh,
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 15: we've got to stop the KKK, and yet they give
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 15: them hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars they
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 15: were It's a total scam run by the Democrats. It
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 15: shows you that like Charlottesville, Charlottesville was all funded by
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 15: the Southern Law. That was a Southern Law deal too,
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 15: and it was done to make me look bad and
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 15: it turned out to be a total fake. It basically
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 15: was a rigged election. This was a part of the
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 15: rigging of the election. And that's what you really should
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 15: be doing. I mean, I hope one of your sixty
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 15: minute episodes, which really hasn't changed very much for the
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 15: last few years of Surprised, but one of those episodes
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 15: should be on Southern Law and the fact that they
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 15: spent millions and millions of dollars on absolute far right
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 15: and just bad, bad groups and then they'd use those groups,
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 15: and they'd say, these are Republican groups and we're coming
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 15: to your rescue, and they're the ones that have funded it,
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 15: and they're the ones that kept them, keep them going.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 4: And it's true. So we now know that the Southern
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 4: Poverty Law Center was fabricating all of these hate crimes
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 4: in America. Now are you saying? And no, hear me
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 4: on this. A majority of the hate crimes that were
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 4: perpetrated in this country. And Charlottesville was the one that
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 4: got Joe Biden into the race, by the way, the
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 4: presidential race, it was all fabricated. It was planned and
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 4: coordinated and paid for by the Southern Poverty Law Center,
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 4: according to the Justice Department indictment. Now, I'm a Southerner.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 4: I have been a Southerner my whole life, born and
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 4: raised in the South. I'm a proud son of the South.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 4: And I'm just going to tell you in my day
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 4: to day meanderings over the past fifty eight years asigned
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 4: from one assignment where I had to go and interview
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 4: a KKK group in Coleman, Alabama, never in my life, Dylan,
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 4: have I come across a Clans member.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 8: I mean, the.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 4: Walmart have running anybody wearing bed sheets or pointy hats
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 4: down at the Barbie Cugeul. I haven't seen. I mean,
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 4: the southern poverty of lawn Center. What have you believed
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 4: that the klansmen are just running around all over the South.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 4: I haven't seen any of them. Have you seen any
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 4: of them? I mean, you're from Mississippi, so.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 7: Okay, well enough of this Mississippi slander. No, I haven't
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 7: seen them.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 4: No, you know what I'm talking about. I mean bumpers.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 4: Have you seen any clan bumper stickers?
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 7: I've not. I don't even know what that would look like.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 4: I haven't even said. I know this is going to
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 4: shock a lot of people. North of the Mason Dixon line.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 4: I don't see any Confederate flags flying.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, not too much.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 4: No, when you think about it, not that there's anything
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 4: wrong with that.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 7: If you do go to Mississippi, you'll see Confederate flag.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 4: You'll see it, well, of course, yeah, I mean it
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 4: is the South.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 7: There's there's no clan flags or any clan stickers.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 4: Right, I mean you have like the American Legion Hall
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 4: and the VFL, but you don't have the clan hall.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 4: You know that you don't see there's nothing there. I
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 4: haven't seen in fifty eight years of living, I have
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 4: not seen of or heard of aross burning. I just
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 4: have it. I'm just telling you so, I think for
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 4: a lot of us, you know, when we see these
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 4: reports coming out of the Southern Poverty Law Center about well,
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 4: you know that racism and white supremacy and the KKK
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 4: is on the rise, and we're all sitting around here,
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 4: you know, scratching our heads going where where is? It
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 4: just never existed? The reason why is because the Southern
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 4: Poverty Law Center was making it all up. So my
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 4: question is, ladies and gentlemen, what do we do now?
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 4: You've got the Democrats out there and they're actually blaming
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 4: President Trump. They're blaming President Trump for this. Can you
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 4: believe that a lot of people are well, we just
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 4: we just need to just all hold hands and sing
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 4: kumb by yah. You know sometimes though you got to
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 4: punch the bully in the nose, you can still sing
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 4: kum bay yah. But if the bully is not addressed,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 4: if the bully is not confronted, the bully will not
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 4: learn nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 4: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 4: This is the Todd Stern Show.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: Breaking news now on the Todd Stern Show.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 4: All right, and we do have some breaking news to
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 4: share with you. We can now tell you officially that
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 4: Cole Allen, the accused gunman in the White House Correspondence
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 4: Association dinner, has now been officially charged, the magistrate judge
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 4: unsealing the case. He is now facing three counts, first
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 4: attempt to assassinate the President of the United States, transporting
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 4: firearms across state lines, and discharging of a firearm during
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 4: a crime of violence. Now, the attempted assassination charge could
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 4: carry a sentence of life in prison if convicted. There
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 4: was no plea at the hearing. He was only informed
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 4: of the charges against him. There will be another hearing,
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 4: a detention hearing set for April thirtieth, and a preliminary
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 4: hearing set for May the eleventh. May I just say
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 4: it ought to be the death penalty, and quite frankly,
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 4: we need to start implementing very public executions of these criminals.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 4: All right, Let's go to the phones. Here, William Morehead City,
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 4: North Carolina. William, what's on your mind?
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 24: Hello?
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 8: And as far as little Jimmy Kimmel, is concerned two patriots.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 8: I think you should tune in watch the show and
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 8: directly before the show, during the show, at after the show.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 8: Any advertiser Boycotton, let's boycott then and say you will
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 8: no longer we will, we won't buy your product. That's all.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 15: We just do it.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 8: And that right there. If the network didn't have the
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 8: the decency to fire him, then let's hit him in
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 8: the pocket book. And then further, if I'm not mistaken,
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 8: there's laws against inciting riots or terrorism, and I think
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 8: he did exactly that. And mister I call him dumb Womham,
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 8: that guy is. He clearly was out of bounce. I
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 8: think you know what I'm talking about. It that that
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 8: should not go unpunished.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 4: No, William, I'm with you, and I like this idea.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 4: And again I don't watch Jimmy Kimmel at all, But
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 4: if you are watching and you want to write down,
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 4: if you folks want to john down who the advertisers are,
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 4: I would say reach out to them. I'm not a
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 4: big fan of boycotts, but I think Jimmy Kimmel's advertisers
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 4: need to be aware of what exactly they're supporting, and
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 4: many of them may not be. I would find that
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 4: hard to believe. They don't know by now because kim
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 4: ol hates Donald Trump. But the idea that these Hollywood
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 4: types that I go all the way back to Abraham Lincoln.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 4: Abraham Lincoln was killed by an actor, an actor of stage.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 4: John Wilkes Booth was a very prominent He was kind
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 4: of like, I don't know, the Jimmy Kummell of his time.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 4: So that's why I'm every time I hear these Hollywood
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 4: folks start talking about wanting to kill or harm our
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 4: president or making jokes about his death, I get nervous
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 4: because there is a track record there. Let's go to
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 4: Marie in Athens, Georgia. Hi, Marie, what's on your mind?
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 24: Hey talk?
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 25: Well, a couple of things. I can't stand Jimmy Kimmel anyway,
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 25: And well you just said that about Abraham Lincoln. I
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 25: just wanted to make a comment that we went to
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 25: Washington and saw that reenactment that they do at the
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 25: for Theater and they said it, you know, that's his
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 25: killer was actually his President Lincoln's favorite actor. So that
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 25: was crazy. But anyway, the thing I wanted to bring
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 25: up was in this town, I didn't see a clan
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 25: rally here one time, and when you were talking about
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 25: the plans years ago, and it was very small, and
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 25: then I want to hear a few things about the
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 25: plan and what they were speaking on just about our
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 25: southern history. And the other thing is that I work
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 25: with a lot of people here and this sounds very liberal,
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 25: and I talked to the young people sometimes about different things,
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 25: and they want to talk about something. I've been sort
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 25: of targeted a few times because of my belief and
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 25: they think that everything that we say is is burbricaded
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 25: or it's a lie. They don't believe anything, and I
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 25: really don't know how to turn that around.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 4: Well, it's a great question, Marie, and we're going to
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 4: talk about that on the other side of this break
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 4: hanging tide. Everybody, nine oh one two six zero five
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 4: nine two six. This is the Todd Sterns Show. All right,
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 4: welcome back, everybody. This is the Tom Stearns Radio Show.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 4: So apparently where is the reading through the New York
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 4: Slimes coverage here they're saying that he actually showed up
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 4: with all of these weapons. Here we go, he came
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 4: to Washington with a pump action shotgun, a pistol and
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 4: three knives and the intent was to kill President Trump.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 4: So that's information coming out in court earlier today from
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 4: the federal prosecutor. Let's go to the phone lines here
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 4: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 4: Say hello to Mike in Texas listening to us on
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 4: Patriot Talk nine to twenty. Mike, what's on your mind today?
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 6: Well, I think the Republican Party needs to stop whining
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 6: and crying and complaining about the hateful rhetoric and start
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 6: arresting people for domestic or terroistic threads like that. What's
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 6: his name, Hassan Piker. I was watching Rob Schmidt last
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 6: week and Rob had a clip of one of his
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 6: podcasts where he actually said he told his audience to
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 6: let the streets soak in their effing red capitalist blood
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 6: and the gut political opponent.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 4: Bite to that point, I want. We've got a little
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 4: bit of that. Let's listen to Hassan Piker. Cut number six.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 16: If you cared about Medicare fraud or Medicaid fraud, you
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 16: would kill Rick Scott. Okay, you wouldn't make Rick Scott,
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 16: former governor of Florida Rick Scott. You wouldn't make him
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 16: the current what is his current office?
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 7: What is he?
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 16: He's the Richard Lynn Scott as an American attorney, business
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 16: and politician Navy venteran serving is the senior United States
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 16: Senator from Florida. See he has held since twenty nineteen.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 16: And also I believe this past election cycle he was
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 16: literally the head of the what was it like, the Senate?
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 4: All right, so there we go sort of ended up.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 4: But to your point, this is a bad guy. He's
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 4: out there calling for people to be killed.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, that's what I'm saying. You're worried about the
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 6: midterms as well as so am I. But the Republican Party,
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 6: I mean, the leadership Johnson and Tune, they don't seem
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 6: to be I mean, you got the DOJ arresting the
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 6: soldier who made a bed, but yet the congresswoman who
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 6: stole five million dollars from FEMA she gets to resign.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 6: I mean, my point is the Republican Party they need
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 6: to stop whining and crying and complain and do something.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 4: Mike, I'm with you on this, and it's it's high
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 4: time we start playing hardball with these folks again. The Republicans,
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 4: they show up to these fights, drinking their apple teenis
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 4: wearing their seersucker and the Democrats show up up wearing
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 4: baseball bats and numb chucks, and we get our butts
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 4: handed to us all the time. And I don't know
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 4: what it's going to take. I mean, look, one of
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 4: the most you know, one of the quietest voices over
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 4: the past couple of days, John Thune, the Majority leader.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 4: He ought to be out there doing something quite frankly,
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 4: blowing up the filibuster. But these these Republicans simply do
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 4: not want to do what needs to be done.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 6: Well, that's the thing. We never seem to be on offense.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 6: We never seem to take the fight to the Democrats.
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 4: By the way, just to Mike, you, thank you for
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 4: reminding me of this story. So there is a soldier.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 4: His name is Gannon Ken van Dijk. He is accused
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 4: of making more than four hundred thousand dollars trading on
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 4: polymarket on the base of on the basis of classified
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 4: info regarding exactly when the US was going to capture
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 4: Nicholas Maduro in in Venezuela. So, mister Vandyke, a US
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 4: Army soldier made a lot of money. And to your point,
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 4: though Mike, they're going to go after the army soldier,
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 4: but they're not going after any of these wallmakers up
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 4: on Capitol Hill. Many of them were dirt broke, didn't
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 4: have two Nichols to rub together, and now all of
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 4: a sudden they're worth tens of millions of dollars.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 6: That's okay, Well, look look at elin omar. Ja d
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 6: Vance already said that there's irrefutable evidence that she committed
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 6: immigration fraud, but nothing happens to her exactly.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 4: And that's that's you. If you've been listening to this
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 4: program for any amount of time, you know that is
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 4: what sets me off, because they're either they're either crimes
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 4: have been committed or they have not. You can't have
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 4: it both ways. And if ilhan omar and to your point,
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 4: the vice President of the United States made that statement,
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 4: so the vice president either needs to put up shut up.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I mean her magnificent financial situation is due
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 6: to an accounting error she really broke. Now, I mean
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 6: Nancy Pelosi. I mean, how can you rest a soldier
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 6: for making a bit where you got four hundred thousand
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 6: dollars and Nancy Pelosi's made over three hundred million yea.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 4: Look, Mike, it is a valid You have a valid
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 4: complaint here, sir, a valid complaint, and we're gonna call
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 4: him out on it. I know the Vice or the
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 4: Speaker of the House is offered to come back on
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 4: and I will tell you Mike Johnson has had a
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 4: change of heart here and he's really working hard to
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 4: get the president's agenda across the finish line. And I
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 4: respect that, Mike. Thanks for the call. Oh here's the
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 4: President going after Nora O'Donnell. I'm telling you, these reporters,
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 4: they're beyond they are beyond help. These reporters cut number
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 4: five please.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 14: So called manifesto is a stunning thing to read, mister President.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 14: He appears to friends a motive in it. He writes this,
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 14: quote administration officials, they are targets. And he also wrote this,
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 14: I'm no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist and
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 14: traitor to coat my hands with his crimes. What's your reaction.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 15: Well, I was waiting for you to read that because
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 15: I knew you would, because you're you're you're horrible people,
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 15: horrible people. Yeah, he did write that, I'm not a rapist.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 15: I didn't rape anybody.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 9: I think he was referring to, excuse.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 15: Me, I'm not a pedophile. You read that crap from
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 15: some sick person. I got associated with all stuff that
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 15: has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 15: Your friends on the other side of the plate are
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 15: the ones that were involved with let's say Epstein or
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 15: other things. But I said to myself, you know, I'll
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 15: do this interview and they'll probably read the manifesto. You
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 15: know it's a sick person. But I should be ashamed
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 15: of yourself reading that because I'm not any of those things.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 15: Excuse me, you shouldn't be reading that in sixty minutes.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 15: You're a disgrace. But go ahead, let's finish the interview.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 14: The other thing that he wrote in disgraceful.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 4: Oh jeez, Dylan. I've interviewed the president I think nine
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 4: or ten times. Never has he said that's disgraceful.
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 9: Not like that.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 7: He never called you disgraceful. Tears.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 4: I'd be ashamed. Jesus, Look, but it's true. I mean,
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 4: her mannerisms, her demeanor. It's just wow, what a slee's ball.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 4: Nor O'Donnell turned out to be good for you, mister president.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 4: You know, and can we go back to something for
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 4: a moment. They've tried to kill this man four times.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 4: They've tried to throw his kids into prison multiple times.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 4: They raided his home. They rummaged through the drawers and
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 4: the closets of his wife's bedroom. They raided his son,
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 4: Baron's bedroom. Little teenage boy at the time. Oh it
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 4: wasn't a little bit teenage boy at the time. He's
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 4: what eight feet tall? I digress. They've tried to bankrupt
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 4: this man. They've called him every name under the book.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 4: They've labeled him a trader. All this man has done
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 4: is to try to make America a better place. The
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 4: ballroom that they're all upset about, it's not costing the
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 4: taxpayers or a single penny. Private donors forked over the
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 4: money for that. By the way, when you look at
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 4: the end, the latest, the latest thing they're all upset about.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 4: If you've been to the Washington Mall, you know that
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 4: the reflecting pool is filthy. I was really taken aback.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 4: And every time I'm in Washington, I always do an
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 4: evening monument stroll and I go right and you can
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 4: smell it's the odor is just ugly. I mean, it's filthy.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 4: You've got all the all the alge and all of
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 4: that stuff growing up. And one of the fountains in
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 4: Lafayette Square across from the White House, the fountains have
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 4: been broken for years. Obama could have fixed it, Biden
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 4: could have fixed it, but they didn't. Donald Trump's going
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 4: in and he's fixing it. And what are they doing.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 4: They're trying to crucify the guy. It's not costing us
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 4: any money. And at some point, I don't know about you,
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 4: but I've often wondered this. I just one day I
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 4: expect Trump to you know, we're going to wake up
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 4: and there's going to be a press conference and Trump's saying,
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 4: you know what, screw you people. I'm out of here.
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 4: You're trying to kill me four times, you try to
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 4: destroy my family. I'm done with you people. I'm genuinely
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 4: surprised that President Trump has not done that. Any other person,
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 4: I think that would have been gone a long time ago,
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 4: probably after the first attempt. But this is a man.
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 4: That's not who he is, that's not who his character is.
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 4: He's a man on a mission. He wants to save
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 4: America for his grandchildren and his great grandchildren and that's
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 4: why Trump is doing what he's doing, and for that,
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 4: they're trying to kill him. So all I can tell you,
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 4: and I know there are a lot of bag of
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 4: people out there and they're butt heard over the war
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 4: and they don't like this and that, and you know,
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 4: you know what, shut up. We've got far too many
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 4: things going on here for us to be worried about
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 4: these other things. Right now, get behind the president's agenda.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 4: This president has not steered this country wrong. Some of
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 4: his plans are unorthodox, but at the end of the day,
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 4: the plans work. All these people saying Trump's going to
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 4: usher in World War three, that's a load of garbage.
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 4: It's just not true. Trust the man. He has not
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 4: let us down yet.
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 10: But he's not a nice man, Todd.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 6: He's just he needs.
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 4: To go to church. Yeah, I agree, he needs to
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 4: go to church. We all do. But you know what,
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 4: I didn't hire a pre we didn't elect a Sunday
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 4: school teacher. Donald Trump is a ruthless businessman. He is
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 4: the master negotiator. That's what we elected. So all I'm
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 4: trying to tell you is get on board with the
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 4: president's agenda. We cannot have this division and I'm telling
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 4: you we need to start playing hardball all of these people.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 4: Do you realize it is a It is a crime
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 4: punishable by prison time for anyone to threaten the life
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 4: of someone. So if you're out there and all these
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 4: TikTokers and all these people next, they need to be
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 4: reported to the authorities, and they need to be arrested,
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 4: and they need to do serious jail time for their crimes.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 4: I don't care who they are. Oh, we got to
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 4: take a break. Nine oh one two six zero five,
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 4: nine two six. That is our telephone number. That's nine
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 4: oh one two six zero five, nine two six. This
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 4: is the Tom Stern Show. All right, Welcome back to everybody.
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 4: This is the Todd Sterns radio Show. Harry Lake is
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 4: among those really concerned about the lack of security at
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 4: the White House at the rather the White House Correspondence
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 4: Association dinner. Here's what she told Newsmax cut one.
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 21: Adia, how the media carried to your point, handles this
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 21: story and whether they tell the truth about the threats
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 21: to this president and the dangerous rhetoric and all that.
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 21: Your quick final thought, because we're getting closer to the
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 21: president coming out, Well.
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 3: I hope the President delivers what he was going to
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 3: deliver tonight, which is probably going to be sharp, pulling
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 3: it and funny. Yeah, And you know, I don't know
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 3: who was in charge of security tonight. I felt it
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 3: was lax. I was very concerned walking in. I thought,
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 3: this is very lax. I've been to a million of
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 3: these events with the President. Never seen it this lax,
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 3: especially considering the group that we were in. And you know,
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 3: I think the I think the media from CNN, who
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 3: I sat and talked to, and I don't I don't
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 3: play around. I don't act like I like people when
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 3: I'm in public with them because I'm sitting next to
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 3: them and we're at an event that's a party. I
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 3: told the people at SPN and you guys have been
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 3: derelict in your duties to the American people. I'm always
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 3: going to do that because I think that as a journalist,
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 3: you have a duty to tell the truth. And I'm
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 3: glad that Newsmax is doing that. I look forward to
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 3: seeing with the President. I'm two blocks from the event
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 3: waiting for my ride to pick me up. We never
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 3: we never had our dinner, We never had the enjoyment
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 3: of hearing the president speak, but we know that we
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 3: support him, and.
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 6: We're all right.
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 4: So now Scott Jennings, the moderate conservative, they call him
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 4: a conservative, he's really a moderate Republican. Over on CNN,
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 4: he says, in America has a left wing violence problem. No, sir,
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 4: we do not have a left wing violence problem. We
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 4: have a Democrat party violence problem. Now, just a little
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 4: while ago, you had JB. Pritzker, the governor of Illinois,
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 4: on CNN. CNN, to their credit, called him out. Says, governor,
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 4: you called you compared the Trump administration to Nazis, and
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 4: the governor says, yeah, I think much of what I
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 4: have said has proven to be true. Again, doubling down,
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 4: doubling down on the rhetoric. Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 4: l sied, they need to be searching that guy. Here's
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 4: what he had to say. When they go low, we
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 4: don't go high. We take them to the mud and
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 4: choke them out. Oh is that what the Kuran? Says?
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 13: Sir?
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 4: Just curious. I mean, we could spend three hours on
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 4: this program just playing clips of the violent rhetoric coming
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 4: out of the Democrats. So let's go to Angie in
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 4: South Carolina. Hi, Angie, what's on your mind today?
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 24: I had I'll good.
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 26: Jupping with you here. Two things I want to say.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 26: I don't think uh President Trump should organize another dinner
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 26: for the communicators because basically when he wanted to tell
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 26: them this is they're fake. They're really to the core
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 26: rotten people and it's not a waste of money to
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 26: spend on these people. Also, I think the senators up
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 26: on you know, Capital Hill, they should get together the
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 26: ones that believe that we should get through the Save
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 26: American Act and basically, how can they say stand up
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 26: against those They need to get themselves together. I mean,
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 26: why are they all sitting back in their chairs letting
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 26: this one man and tell them what to do when
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 26: he's not going along with his party or the majority
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 26: of the Republicans. I mean, there's got to be something done,
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 26: just like you said soon. And if they are so
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 26: jully back that they can't coordinate group them to stand
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 26: against him, then they're not doing anything and Republicans or
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 26: mag of people are just gonna take them for what
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 26: they're not doing.
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Angie, I think you raise a lot
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 4: of good points here. I will say this part of
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 4: my greater disappointment of the whole night was the fact
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 4: that we could not hear the president's jokes, and I
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 4: hear they were going to be hilarious, which meant it
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 4: was going to be triggering to all of the White
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 4: House press corps. And I wanted to see them wiggle
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 4: and squirm and grimace and and smirk. I wanted to
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 4: see all of that, Angie, and we were denied that.
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 26: Well, I'm just I don't think they're worth the dime
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 26: or the effort to put another dinner together. I think, uh,
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 26: President Trump is too forgiving. I mean, people will hoop
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 26: on him and you will turn around and pretend it
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 26: didn't happen, and that they're a good guy, so they
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 26: could think, uh, convert to his side, and they don't.
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 26: They won't, you know, They're just they're stuck in their.
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 4: Own well yes, so well, so well said there, Angie,
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 4: and uh and thank you for the call. It's true,
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 4: as Angie said, that those folks in the media, people
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 4: like Anderson Cooper, they poop on our president and instead
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 4: of the President hurling the poop back at him, he
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 4: says thank you, and he planned it's a beautiful crop
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 4: of daisies. That's our precedent. So I'm with Angie. I
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 4: think he is a little too forgiving, and I think
• 1:51:08
