Residents Threatened With Fines For Flying American Flag · ToddCast Podcast with Todd Starnes

0:10
Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
0:15
Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch, that's American touch starts.
0:27
Speaker 2: Ye.
0:29
Speaker 3: Well, hello, everybody, welcome to the ton Stearns Radio Program.
0:33
Speaker 3: Great to have you with us today on this h Well,
0:37
Speaker 3: it's no, we're not gonna do well a five day eve,
0:41
Speaker 3: a five day fourth of July eve. Anyway, all that
0:45
Speaker 3: to say, we're going to be live all this week
0:47
Speaker 3: here on the ton Stearns Radio Show. I know a
0:49
Speaker 3: lot of folks like to take vacation time, but we're
0:52
Speaker 3: going to be hanging out with you. A lot of
0:54
Speaker 3: news happening across the country and we're going to get
0:59
Speaker 3: to all of it today. Of course, the Supreme Court
1:02
Speaker 3: handing down some very disappointing rulings today. By the way,
1:06
Speaker 3: tomorrow could be the most disappointing of them all. When
1:09
Speaker 3: it comes to birthright citizenship, we shall see, and not
1:14
Speaker 3: all was bad today. The President does in fact have
1:17
Speaker 3: the right to fire members of the Deep State, so
1:21
Speaker 3: the Supreme Court made the right decision there. But when
1:24
Speaker 3: it comes to voting integrity, ladies and gentlemen, for me,
1:27
Speaker 3: this is the most important thing, and this is something
1:31
Speaker 3: that the Supreme Court completely dropped the ball on today.
1:35
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, earlier today there was a
1:38
Speaker 3: case out of Mississippi and Amy Cony Barrett and the
1:42
Speaker 3: Chief Justice John Robert sided with the liberals on the
1:46
Speaker 3: Court to say that there is no such thing as
1:49
Speaker 3: a singular election day. And this is bad news for
1:55
Speaker 3: those of you who believe and voting voting integrity. This
2:00
Speaker 3: is a five to four decision, and the rule is
2:03
Speaker 3: that any mail in ballots received after election day can
2:07
Speaker 3: still be counted. Now, here's the problem with that. And
2:09
Speaker 3: we're seeing this in California, for example, where where for
2:13
Speaker 3: the first idlo several days after the election, you had
2:17
Speaker 3: people like Spencer Pratt doing very very well in the polls.
2:21
Speaker 3: But then every single day that went on, they mysteriously
2:25
Speaker 3: found yes, more ballots and at the end of the day,
2:29
Speaker 3: Spencer Pratt lost his race at the end of multiple days.
2:32
Speaker 3: And I think there's still counting ballots in California. So
2:36
Speaker 3: this is a very bad decision. Justice sam Alito rightly
2:40
Speaker 3: pointed out that confidence and election results will be seriously undermined,
2:45
Speaker 3: and he's well, he's absolutely right here, and this is
2:49
Speaker 3: yet another reason why the Supreme Court has to or
2:53
Speaker 3: rather the Senate has to pass the same America. But
2:56
Speaker 3: let me just say something that's not going to happen.
2:58
Speaker 3: That is not going to happen. The Republican Senators they
3:02
Speaker 3: loathe President Trump. And I'm just gonna say this. I
3:05
Speaker 3: think many of them do. I don't think it's just
3:08
Speaker 3: a handful. I think many of the Republican Senators they
3:12
Speaker 3: loathe President Trump. They don't like him. They don't like
3:14
Speaker 3: the way he's been running the country. They don't like
3:17
Speaker 3: his jokes, they don't like his insults, they don't like
3:20
Speaker 3: the guy. They don't like him one bit. And they
3:24
Speaker 3: would rather put the integrity of future elections at stake
3:28
Speaker 3: than give him a victory.
3:31
Speaker 4: Here.
3:31
Speaker 3: And by the way, this is what happens when you
3:33
Speaker 3: elect Republicans in name only to the Senate. You've got
3:36
Speaker 3: a bunch of rhinos up on Capitol Hill. And I'll
3:39
Speaker 3: explain that in just a moment here. But also, this
3:42
Speaker 3: is what happens when you nominate fake constitutionalists to the
3:45
Speaker 3: highest court in the land. How many times as Amy
3:48
Speaker 3: Cony Barrett disappointed constitutionalist. How many times? And I doubt
3:53
Speaker 3: it'll be the last. Tomorrow birthright citizenship comes down, and
3:57
Speaker 3: pretty much everybody is saying, this is going to be
4:00
Speaker 3: a major blow, a major blow to those of us
4:06
Speaker 3: who believe in being born an American citizen.
4:11
Speaker 5: So this is.
4:14
Speaker 3: Incredibly, incredibly disappointing. I want to go back, and I
4:20
Speaker 3: think we have the We have some audio here from
4:25
Speaker 3: sam Alito. This was during the arguments, the oral arguments
4:29
Speaker 3: on this case regarding mail in ballot counting cut number six.
4:33
Speaker 6: We have lots of phrases that involve two words, the
4:39
Speaker 6: last of which, the second of which is day, labor Day,
4:43
Speaker 6: Memorial Day, George Washington's birthday, Independence Day, birthday, and election day.
4:51
Speaker 6: And they're all particular days. So if we start with that,
4:56
Speaker 6: if I have nothing more to look at than the
4:58
Speaker 6: phrase election day, I think this is the day in
5:03
Speaker 6: which everything is going to take place, and we're almost everything.
5:07
Speaker 6: And then we have three points in time eighteen forty four,
5:12
Speaker 6: eighteen seventy two, nineteen fourteen, and we can ask what
5:16
Speaker 6: would people have thought on those days is meant by
5:19
Speaker 6: this phrase election day?
5:20
Speaker 3: Which of those should we choose?
5:22
Speaker 6: Which of those days dates should we choose?
5:25
Speaker 7: Well, I think you could choose any of the three.
5:28
Speaker 7: I mean, honestly, I think the single best one, if
5:31
Speaker 7: you're just going to choose one, is eighteen seventy two.
5:33
Speaker 7: And the reason I say that is because nineteen fourteen
5:36
Speaker 7: is the latest in time. But that's the one that
5:38
Speaker 7: congresgated the least thought to.
5:41
Speaker 3: All Right, so there you go. That's just just sam
5:44
Speaker 3: Alito explaining that election day is election day.
5:49
Speaker 2: Now.
5:49
Speaker 3: Look, just a few minutes ago, President Trump wagh in
5:52
Speaker 3: all this and he's trying to ramp up support to
5:56
Speaker 3: get the Save America through through the Senate. I want
5:59
Speaker 3: to read this to you, and this is from the
6:01
Speaker 3: President and his true social accountants. A little while ago,
6:05
Speaker 3: the President says, in light of the tremendous loss, and
6:08
Speaker 3: the President is calling it a loss, in light of
6:11
Speaker 3: the tremendous loss in the Supreme Court today concerning voters'
6:15
Speaker 3: rights and the fact that people's votes are allowed to
6:19
Speaker 3: be counted long after an election is over, it is
6:21
Speaker 3: more important than ever to pass the Save America Act,
6:25
Speaker 3: which is one, all voters must show photo ID number two,
6:30
Speaker 3: All voters must show proof of citizenship number three. No
6:35
Speaker 3: mail in ballots except for illness, disability, military deployment, or travel.
6:41
Speaker 3: The President says there is no excuse for a politician
6:44
Speaker 3: or otherwise to be against the above three requirements. There's
6:50
Speaker 3: only one reason to oppose cheating. The House of Representatives
6:55
Speaker 3: have approved this vital Act three times. The US Senate
6:59
Speaker 3: seems unable to do so in a time when there
7:01
Speaker 3: is a powerful communist movement taking place in our country,
7:06
Speaker 3: one more dangerous than World War two. He goes on
7:12
Speaker 3: to say, it's also more dangerous than Pearl Harbor or
7:14
Speaker 3: September eleventh. All Democrats and our five Republican Senate holdouts
7:20
Speaker 3: Lisa Burkowski, Susan Collins, Tom Tillis, Bill Kensidy, Mitch McConnell,
7:24
Speaker 3: who by the way, may be getting ready to head
7:28
Speaker 3: to glory, must vote to save our country. There can
7:32
Speaker 3: be no more excuses. So I want to say something
7:36
Speaker 3: here about this, and we're going to go to the phones.
7:39
Speaker 3: I don't think it's just those guys. I think there
7:41
Speaker 3: are more. I think there are more. These are the
7:44
Speaker 3: these are the sacrificial lambs that were willing to put
7:47
Speaker 3: their names out there. I believe there are more senators
7:51
Speaker 3: that oppose Donald Trump. And I'm and here's the reason why.
7:54
Speaker 3: This is my proof. You say, Starings where's your proof?
7:57
Speaker 3: They're all coming out there, Mike Lee for Rumph, Ted
8:01
Speaker 3: cruz Haum for Um for Rumph. Not one senator, not
8:08
Speaker 3: one has called for John Thuon to be removed from power.
8:12
Speaker 3: Not a single Republicans, not a one. So therefore, every
8:18
Speaker 3: single senator up there is okay with what John Thune
8:20
Speaker 3: is doing. Not a single Republican senator has called for
8:24
Speaker 3: John Thuon to be removed from power, not a one.
8:28
Speaker 3: And that's and that, ladies and gentlemen. That's the clue.
8:32
Speaker 3: That's ultimately the clue. And I do think if this
8:36
Speaker 3: actually went for a vote, I think a majority of
8:39
Speaker 3: the Republican Senators would be opposed to this. I truly do.
8:44
Speaker 3: All Right, our telephone number nine oh one two six
8:46
Speaker 3: zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one two
8:50
Speaker 3: six zero five to nine two six. Whoever gave President
8:54
Speaker 3: Trump the advice to put Amy Cony Barrett on the
8:58
Speaker 3: Supreme Court? They need to be publicly named and shamed,
9:03
Speaker 3: and we need to know who those individuals are. All Right,
9:07
Speaker 3: We've got to take a break going to the phones.
9:09
Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
9:12
Speaker 3: This is the Todd startin show.
9:13
Speaker 8: Hey, guys, quick, heads up. This is actually a big one.
9:16
Speaker 8: We're saying goodbye to something that's helped thousands of families
9:19
Speaker 8: over the years. The Patriot Power Generator, one of the
9:22
Speaker 8: best selling solar generators of twenty twenty five, is officially
9:26
Speaker 8: being retired. And the reason they've just released something even better.
9:31
Speaker 8: It's called the Patriot Power Generator two two zero zero
9:35
Speaker 8: X and this is their most powerful model yet. It's
9:38
Speaker 8: built for real life situations, storms, outages, emergencies when you
9:43
Speaker 8: need power the most. To launch it, they're doing something
9:46
Speaker 8: pretty crazy right now. You can get five hundred dollars
9:48
Speaker 8: off the generator. Plus they're including two free solar panels,
9:52
Speaker 8: so you can double your charging power right out of
9:55
Speaker 8: the box. They're also throwing in a heavy duty roll
9:58
Speaker 8: in go kart and extended three year warranty, and if
10:01
Speaker 8: you're a senior or a veteran, you can save an
10:04
Speaker 8: additional two hundred dollars. And here's the part that really
10:07
Speaker 8: stands out, because they offer a payment plan. You can
10:11
Speaker 8: get started today for just two hundred and ninety nine
10:14
Speaker 8: dollars and its ships as soon as tomorrow. But this
10:17
Speaker 8: is a limited launch offer. It's first come first served,
10:20
Speaker 8: and these kinds of deals don't stick around, especially with
10:24
Speaker 8: how unpredictable power outages have been lately. So if you've
10:27
Speaker 8: ever thought about having backup power for your home, now's
10:30
Speaker 8: the time to do it. Stay safe, stay prepared, and
10:33
Speaker 8: don't wait until the lights go out. Go to starnesprepper
10:36
Speaker 8: dot com right now to take advantage of this limited
10:39
Speaker 8: time offer.
10:45
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back everybody. This is the ton Cerns
10:48
Speaker 3: Or Radio show. Great to have you with us today.
10:50
Speaker 3: Hope you had a great weekend. By the way, I'm
10:54
Speaker 3: curious if if your local church, if you guys did
10:58
Speaker 3: any sort of big, sol or handsome sort of a
11:01
Speaker 3: moment in the service where you celebrated America and you
11:05
Speaker 3: thank God for blessing our country. I'm just curious, so
11:10
Speaker 3: what you guys. You know, some churches did absolutely nothing.
11:13
Speaker 3: It was just a regular normal day, nothing going on.
11:17
Speaker 3: Those are usually liberal churches. But I'm curious to know
11:21
Speaker 3: if you and your congregation, if you guys did anything
11:24
Speaker 3: to commemorate the big two point fifty coming up on
11:28
Speaker 3: on Saturday. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
11:31
Speaker 3: two six hour telephone number. That's nine oh one two
11:34
Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six. All right, let's go
11:37
Speaker 3: to Tallahassee, Florida. Nate is watching us on our YouTube channel. Hi, Nate,
11:42
Speaker 3: what's what's on your mind?
11:45
Speaker 9: Hey Todd, thank you for having me once again. I
11:48
Speaker 9: want to ask your opinion on a matter that sadly
11:50
Speaker 9: has been going on for a while in this country,
11:53
Speaker 9: and then if you'd like to be you, I'd give
11:54
Speaker 9: my opinion on it. I want to ask what is
11:57
Speaker 9: your opinion and all these federal judges who keep overruling
12:00
Speaker 9: Donald Trump's agenda and what could be done to stop that?
12:05
Speaker 3: Well, one of the things. One of the things that
12:08
Speaker 3: can be done is that there are opportunities to defund
12:13
Speaker 3: these federal judges. You can actually take away their money.
12:15
Speaker 3: Congress has that right. As a matter of fact, I
12:18
Speaker 3: believe it was Chip Roy wanted to defund a federal
12:23
Speaker 3: judge and this was just very recently and Congress did
12:28
Speaker 3: not go along with it. But that's one thing we
12:30
Speaker 3: can do ultimately, Nate, I don't think. I don't think
12:33
Speaker 3: a majority of the Republicans on Capitol Hill really want
12:36
Speaker 3: to move the president's agenda forward. I just really don't.
12:41
Speaker 9: Unfortunately that is true because whos have taken over a
12:44
Speaker 9: large part of the Republican Party. But in my opinion,
12:48
Speaker 9: I have a really unpopular opinion here, and I get
12:50
Speaker 9: criticized a lot for this, But this is totally within
12:53
Speaker 9: Trump's power. I think he should have flat out say
12:56
Speaker 9: I am not going to listen to any federal judge
12:59
Speaker 9: who overrules his authority because under the Constitution, they do
13:03
Speaker 9: not have that authority to overrule him. All the branches
13:06
Speaker 9: are supposed to be separate yet equal, but yet the
13:09
Speaker 9: judiciary branch has said some branches are more equal than
13:13
Speaker 9: others and they think they can overrule it. That just
13:15
Speaker 9: sounds like animal farm if you asked me a little bit.
13:18
Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's interesting that you bring that up,
13:20
Speaker 3: because you're right. I mean, now you've got so now
13:22
Speaker 3: you have lower court judges that are literally overruling the
13:26
Speaker 3: President of the United States on pretty much every single
13:29
Speaker 3: executive order that that he's that he signed, and and
13:34
Speaker 3: this is this simply cannot be. And by the way,
13:37
Speaker 3: this is the first time in modern political history that
13:40
Speaker 3: this has actually been a problem. So this you you
13:43
Speaker 3: have an activist judiciary that's engaging in law fare, and
13:48
Speaker 3: they're they're trying to overrule the executive branch.
13:55
Speaker 9: Yes, sir. I mean, let's say, for example, Trump passes
13:58
Speaker 9: a great law he finds gets that save acts passed
14:01
Speaker 9: through Congress and the Senate, and then you have a
14:04
Speaker 9: radical judge or as I like to call them instead
14:06
Speaker 9: of judges, activist in robes in California, who will immediately
14:10
Speaker 9: strike down is lost. Trump could get all of his
14:13
Speaker 9: bills passed, but then you have a judge who just
14:15
Speaker 9: automatically sided with the Democrats and don't care about the constitution.
14:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's exactly what and Nate, that's exactly what
14:23
Speaker 3: is happening. So again, Congress, they can they have the
14:27
Speaker 3: power to go in and defund these federal courts. They
14:30
Speaker 3: can take away all of their operational budget, they can
14:33
Speaker 3: reduce their staff, they can they can abolish specific lower
14:37
Speaker 3: courts altogether. They have those powers and abilities, but they
14:42
Speaker 3: are not using them. And the question we need to
14:45
Speaker 3: be asking is why why isn't Congress going nuclear here?
14:48
Speaker 3: Why aren't they nuking the felibuster? And the reason why
14:51
Speaker 3: is they don't want President Trump's agenda to move forward.
14:54
Speaker 3: I mean, that's ultimately the bottom line here.
14:58
Speaker 9: I agree entirely with and I honestly feel another big
15:01
Speaker 9: issue is that they are afraid of the backlash because
15:04
Speaker 9: the woke movement has become so powerful and the Marxist
15:08
Speaker 9: movement has unfortunately taken over the Democratic Party, and I
15:11
Speaker 9: feel really bad for the very few moderate Democrats who
15:15
Speaker 9: are actually modern. I mean, look at Senator forgiven me
15:18
Speaker 9: for a moment. Every guy's name Senator Fennerman in Pennsylvania.
15:21
Speaker 9: I was skeptical of him, and he's actually stood up
15:23
Speaker 9: to him a few times, and look at him. They're
15:26
Speaker 9: trying to say, oh, we're going to primary you and
15:27
Speaker 9: get you out if you don't fall in mind. That's
15:30
Speaker 9: bullying right there. They're just trying to bully somebody who's
15:32
Speaker 9: not a blatant Marxist like so much of the party's become.
15:35
Speaker 3: Well, it's a fair point. You're raised, Nate. Thank you
15:38
Speaker 3: for calling in, and thank you for watching us on
15:40
Speaker 3: our YouTube channel nine oh one two six zero five
15:44
Speaker 3: nine two six. Our telephone number that's nine oh one
15:46
Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six. How do you
15:49
Speaker 3: how do you deal with this? Ladies and gentlemen, I mean, really,
15:52
Speaker 3: you've one theory, one idea that I want to posit
15:57
Speaker 3: here and see what you think about this, because it's
16:00
Speaker 3: going to take This is going to be a long process,
16:02
Speaker 3: all right, But hear me on this. If in fact
16:07
Speaker 3: we go through and the Save America Act is not
16:12
Speaker 3: voted on in the Senate, and if you don't have
16:15
Speaker 3: a single Republican senator calling for Thoon to be removed
16:19
Speaker 3: from power, that to me tells pardon me, that tells
16:22
Speaker 3: me they're all on board. Then every single one of
16:25
Speaker 3: them agrees with Murkowski and Susan Collins and tell Us
16:29
Speaker 3: and all the rest of them. Therefore, and hear me
16:32
Speaker 3: on this. I know this is going to be controversial.
16:35
Speaker 3: At that point, I say we vote every single one
16:37
Speaker 3: of them out. Now, keep in mind, you don't have
16:39
Speaker 3: the whole Senate up for reelection, right, so it's going
16:42
Speaker 3: to be two election cycles, maybe more. But I say
16:46
Speaker 3: we vote every single sitting Republican senator, we primary every
16:50
Speaker 3: single one of them, and we vote them out. I
16:53
Speaker 3: don't get it's Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Bill Haggerty, Tom Well,
17:00
Speaker 3: Tom Tellis has gone, Tom Content. I mean all of them,
17:03
Speaker 3: every single one of them. If these Republicans do not
17:06
Speaker 3: have the moral courage to stand up and call out
17:10
Speaker 3: John Thune by name and demand that he'd be removed
17:13
Speaker 3: from power, knot the filibuster and shove through the same
17:17
Speaker 3: America Act. I say, get rid of all of them,
17:19
Speaker 3: every single one of them. Nine oh one two six
17:24
Speaker 3: zero five nine two six is our telephone number. That's
17:27
Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five to nine two six.
17:32
Speaker 3: We have a crazy story out of California, San Marcos, California,
17:38
Speaker 3: to be exact. You know, the residents of a neighborhood there,
17:41
Speaker 3: and this is a very nice neighborhood, about a million
17:42
Speaker 3: dollar homes, so very nice neighborhood, and they have a
17:46
Speaker 3: homeowners association. So over the pans thirty years, you've had
17:50
Speaker 3: a lot of the residents. They've been hanging American flags
17:53
Speaker 3: outside of their homes, posting old glory. During the fourth
17:58
Speaker 3: of July the other day, a number of the residents
18:02
Speaker 3: got warning letters from their homeowners association and they said
18:06
Speaker 3: you got to remove the American flag and if you don't,
18:11
Speaker 3: you're going to face a one hundred dollars fine. Now
18:15
Speaker 3: the homeowners association is called the Ambiance Owners Association. They
18:20
Speaker 3: govern the neighborhood, and they argued that the American flag,
18:25
Speaker 3: this is actually in a letter that was obtained by
18:28
Speaker 3: the California Post, they argue that the American flag represents
18:33
Speaker 3: a political view and would degrade the neighborhood. One of
18:40
Speaker 3: the residents, Amy Cook, telling the California Post she was outraged.
18:45
Speaker 3: She says, the American flag is a symbol of freedom. Now,
18:50
Speaker 3: some of you might be saying here, well, you know
18:53
Speaker 3: it's a homeowners' association. Doesn't matter if they've been able
18:56
Speaker 3: to post their flags for thirty years. What changed, Well,
19:00
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what changed. When Donald Trump got re elected.
19:04
Speaker 3: The Homeowners' Association went Bonker's crazy teds Trump arrangement syndrome,
19:11
Speaker 3: and they started a crackdown. Now we understand that Steve Hilton,
19:16
Speaker 3: who is running for governor in California, has already jumped
19:19
Speaker 3: into the phrase says, what's wrong with these people? We
19:22
Speaker 3: are just about to celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth
19:24
Speaker 3: birthday of the country, and one of the most beautiful
19:27
Speaker 3: things that we have is to raise an American flag
19:30
Speaker 3: to show our support. So anyway, Hilton's telling everybody in
19:34
Speaker 3: the neighborhood to ignore the homeowners Association and also put
19:39
Speaker 3: to put out not one, not two, but three flags
19:43
Speaker 3: in your front yard? What would you do? Ladies and gentlemen.
19:46
Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
19:49
Speaker 3: This is the Todd Starring Show. All right, welcome back everybody.
20:14
Speaker 3: This is the Tom Stearns Radio Show. Great to have
20:17
Speaker 3: you with us today, very very busy news day. Our
20:21
Speaker 3: telephone number, by the way, nine oh one two six
20:24
Speaker 3: zero five, nine two six. That's nine oh one two
20:26
Speaker 3: six zero five, nine two six. So some very exciting
20:30
Speaker 3: news that broke on Friday after this show had gone
20:34
Speaker 3: off the air. We told you that Texas educators, the
20:38
Speaker 3: State Board of Education, was looking at mandating Bible reading
20:42
Speaker 3: for students, and now we can tell you that that
20:46
Speaker 3: particular resolution did in fact pass and students from K
20:51
Speaker 3: through twelve will be reading passages of the Bible and
20:55
Speaker 3: Bible stories in some capacity during their education in the
20:59
Speaker 3: public tankspayer funded school system in Texas.
21:03
Speaker 10: Well.
21:03
Speaker 3: Here to talk all about that and a few other
21:05
Speaker 3: topics is our good friend. He is the pastor of
21:08
Speaker 3: the first Baptist Church in Texas, Canada, Texas. Jeff Shreeve
21:12
Speaker 3: and Jeff. Good to have you with us today.
21:15
Speaker 4: Todd, thanks so much for having.
21:18
Speaker 3: And Jeff, we're going to get that echo worked out here.
21:21
Speaker 3: I think we've got it worked out there. Jeff. First
21:23
Speaker 3: of all, I have to say what a great sunday yesterday.
21:26
Speaker 3: You had invited me to be a part of the
21:28
Speaker 3: of the services and to speak yesterday at First Baptist Texas, Canada.
21:32
Speaker 3: You guys, what a fired up congregation, and man, sure
21:36
Speaker 3: they sure do have a lot you have a lot
21:38
Speaker 3: of patriots in the congregation.
21:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we really enjoyed you being there, Todd. It
21:42
Speaker 4: was a great, great sunday. I appreciated you taking the
21:46
Speaker 4: time to drive over from Memphis and had a good
21:49
Speaker 4: time being together. And I got to introduce you to
21:52
Speaker 4: Texas barbecue.
21:53
Speaker 3: Todd, you did, And I have to tell you I
21:56
Speaker 3: was telling our staff about this earlier. I had never
21:59
Speaker 3: been to a barbecue restaurant that actually had a piano player. Normally,
22:04
Speaker 3: you know, here in the Memphis area, our barbecue joints
22:07
Speaker 3: are guarded by armed men. But it was really quite something.
22:11
Speaker 3: A great piano player too, by the way, Yeah, it
22:14
Speaker 3: really was.
22:15
Speaker 4: Well. As far as the topic on the teaching the
22:19
Speaker 4: Bible in Texas public schools, I think that is great.
22:23
Speaker 4: You know, I've been online and looked at the usual
22:27
Speaker 4: suspects that are all upset about the separation of church
22:30
Speaker 4: and state and blah blah blah, and the Founding Fathers
22:32
Speaker 4: would not want this. Obviously, the Founding Fathers didn't have
22:36
Speaker 4: a problem with that, because we've been teaching the Bible
22:38
Speaker 4: in public schools since the sixteen hundreds. If they had
22:42
Speaker 4: a problem with it, they would have said something when
22:44
Speaker 4: they constructed the Constitution. But they thought that was a
22:48
Speaker 4: good thing, not a bad thing.
22:50
Speaker 3: Well, it's an interesting point you raised, and I shared
22:52
Speaker 3: this yesterday that for over three hundred years, the Bible
22:56
Speaker 3: was the way, that was the specific book they used
23:00
Speaker 3: to teach children, boys and girls, how to read in
23:03
Speaker 3: those those classrooms. Not only that, Thomas Jefferson, when he
23:08
Speaker 3: was president of the school Board in Washington, DC, not
23:11
Speaker 3: only signed off on the Bible but also a book
23:14
Speaker 3: of hymns to teach children how to read. So to
23:19
Speaker 3: your point, we have a long and storied history, and
23:22
Speaker 3: really what Texas did was return back to the foundational
23:27
Speaker 3: roots of our country.
23:29
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I did a program today Todd on a
23:32
Speaker 4: AFR and I said, I entitled it Hooray for Texas,
23:36
Speaker 4: because Texas is leading the way in some of these instances,
23:41
Speaker 4: and we desperately need to get back to teaching young
23:45
Speaker 4: people about the Bible and the stories in the Bible,
23:49
Speaker 4: the true stories obviously in the Bible, and get them
23:52
Speaker 4: back into a biblical understanding of things. I appreciated the
23:58
Speaker 4: fact that you said at First Baptist Texas Canna yesterday
24:01
Speaker 4: that you make no bones about the fact that you
24:03
Speaker 4: share news from a biblical worldview, and we sadly have
24:09
Speaker 4: gotten away from a biblical worldview. We desperately need to
24:12
Speaker 4: return to that.
24:13
Speaker 3: You know, I think a lot of people were surprised
24:15
Speaker 3: that you folks in Texas of all places where we're
24:18
Speaker 3: having to deal with these kinds of issues. And yet
24:21
Speaker 3: it certainly appears as though, you know, change is coming.
24:26
Speaker 3: And I'm really excited to reintroduce boys and girls they're
24:30
Speaker 3: in the great state of Texas to some of the
24:32
Speaker 3: great cherished Bible stories of old. Yeah.
24:36
Speaker 4: And you know those that say, well, that's establishing a religion.
24:40
Speaker 4: That's not establishing a religion. That's teaching the Bible and
24:46
Speaker 4: you know, encouraging people to understand these stories that we
24:49
Speaker 4: all in you know, our generation Todd, we grew up
24:53
Speaker 4: on those stories. We know about those stories, but kids
24:55
Speaker 4: today they don't know about David and Goliath. They don't
24:58
Speaker 4: know about the walls of Jericho coming down, things that
25:01
Speaker 4: we just took for granted. They don't know those things
25:04
Speaker 4: unless we teach them.
25:05
Speaker 3: I'm wondering as we sort of segue into two politics
25:10
Speaker 3: there you've got the huge Senate race, James Tolerico, the
25:13
Speaker 3: what Presbyterian theologian, and the guys all about trans rights.
25:18
Speaker 3: I'm just curious, how is that actually playing among the
25:22
Speaker 3: voters they're in Texas, His far left religious beliefs, Well, I.
25:28
Speaker 4: Would hope it's not playing well. That guy is horrible.
25:33
Speaker 4: You know, you'd rather have somebody that just has no
25:37
Speaker 4: religious affiliation at all than somebody that perverts the gospel.
25:41
Speaker 4: I've always likened it to this Todd you know, way
25:45
Speaker 4: back when in the eighties, where you had the person
25:49
Speaker 4: that was putting cyanide in the tile in all capsules.
25:53
Speaker 4: That is a horrible, evil person that would do that,
25:57
Speaker 4: because you're deceiving people. They're thinking they're taking something that's
26:01
Speaker 4: going to make them better and it ends up killing them.
26:04
Speaker 4: Somebody that hijacks this truth of scripture poisons it as
26:11
Speaker 4: Paul said in Galatians chapter one, if we are an
26:13
Speaker 4: angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary
26:16
Speaker 4: to that which you receive from us, let him be
26:18
Speaker 4: eternally condemned, let him be anathema.
26:21
Speaker 3: There does seem to be something going on there where.
26:24
Speaker 3: It appears as though the lgbt movement, and specifically the
26:28
Speaker 3: transgender wing of it, I think more so than anyone else,
26:31
Speaker 3: they're going out of their way to attack the church,
26:34
Speaker 3: to attack belief systems. I want to play some audio here.
26:39
Speaker 3: This is Senator Rafael Warnock, who is the Democrat senator
26:43
Speaker 3: from Georgia, but he's also a pastor, a very prominent pastor,
26:48
Speaker 3: and here's what he had to say, calling the church homophobic.
26:52
Speaker 3: Let's take a listen.
26:53
Speaker 5: We Christian folk have been blind to our bigger treats,
26:56
Speaker 5: of the ways in which we are inhospitable to those
26:59
Speaker 5: who have another way to the center. And then Jews
27:04
Speaker 5: and Muslims and Hindus and Sikhs and others had to
27:08
Speaker 5: stand up and say, we too know something about the
27:11
Speaker 5: glory of God. We talked about equal protection under the
27:14
Speaker 5: law while marginalizing members of the LGBTQ community. But then
27:20
Speaker 5: they found their voice and said, we too know something about.
27:23
Speaker 10: The glory of God.
27:25
Speaker 3: It takes all of us.
27:30
Speaker 10: To see the glory of God.
27:33
Speaker 5: So we have to push hard against bigotry, racism, anti semitism, transphobia,
27:45
Speaker 5: xenophobia in all of its.
27:48
Speaker 11: Forms, because it is violence not only against humanity but
27:56
Speaker 11: against divinity. It is an effects.
28:01
Speaker 12: To the glory.
28:03
Speaker 3: All right, doctor Shreeve, you heard Pastor Warnick there. What
28:07
Speaker 3: say you to what he had to say?
28:10
Speaker 4: Well, I think of Isaiah five twenty one, to those
28:14
Speaker 4: who call evil good and good evil, that guy is poison.
28:19
Speaker 4: He's putting cyanide in the tailenhoal capsules, along with other
28:23
Speaker 4: pastors that say the kind of stuff that he says.
28:26
Speaker 4: You know, Todd, you think about Elijahn Mount Carmel against
28:31
Speaker 4: the prophets of bail. He's not teaching the people how
28:35
Speaker 4: to be more accepting of the prophets of bail and
28:38
Speaker 4: of bail worship. He's calling them out they're false. He
28:42
Speaker 4: ends up killing them all when God shows up with fire,
28:46
Speaker 4: and obviously we don't do that. Vengeance is the Lord's.
28:50
Speaker 4: But it's what you shared yesterday at first Baptist sex
28:54
Speaker 4: Or Canna. We have to get in. We have to
28:56
Speaker 4: be the man in the arena. As pastors especially, but
29:00
Speaker 4: as just everyday Christians, we have to stand up and
29:03
Speaker 4: speak up for what's true. That guy is a false prophet.
29:07
Speaker 3: Doctor Jeff Shreeve is joining us on the Patriot Mobile
29:10
Speaker 3: newsmaker Line today. He's the pastor of the first Baptist
29:12
Speaker 3: church in Texarcanada. His website, by the way, from his
29:16
Speaker 3: heart dot org. Many of you listen to doctor Shreve
29:20
Speaker 3: on American Family Radio from his heart dot org. You know,
29:24
Speaker 3: one of the things that I was so impressed with
29:25
Speaker 3: yesterday at the church, Doctor Shreeve, is You've got a
29:29
Speaker 3: congregation that is involved. They're engaged in the community. And
29:34
Speaker 3: I'm wondering how important is that to the health of
29:38
Speaker 3: cities like Textar, Canada. Have a church that is engaged
29:41
Speaker 3: and in the public marketplace.
29:44
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's critically important. And we you know,
29:47
Speaker 4: we welcome everybody into our church. I say this often, Todd.
29:51
Speaker 4: If you're struggling with same sex attraction, we want you
29:54
Speaker 4: to come to First text Arcana. If you're struggling with
29:57
Speaker 4: your gender, we want you to come. Struggling with substance
30:01
Speaker 4: abuse or pornography or.
30:03
Speaker 3: Whatever it might be.
30:04
Speaker 4: We want you to come to hear the truth, but
30:06
Speaker 4: we're never going to affirm you in sin. And so
30:09
Speaker 4: we make it very very clear we're standing for the
30:13
Speaker 4: scripture and we want you to come and be a
30:16
Speaker 4: part of that, but we're not going to affirm sin.
30:19
Speaker 4: We're going to call it out and we're gonna you know,
30:21
Speaker 4: the Bible gets us all back to true north because
30:24
Speaker 4: we all have a tendency to drift from that, and
30:28
Speaker 4: it takes us back. When you preach the word and
30:30
Speaker 4: in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with
30:34
Speaker 4: great patience and instruction. That is what draws people back
30:38
Speaker 4: to well, this is what the Lord says, this is
30:40
Speaker 4: how I'm supposed to live. So whether it's the mayor,
30:42
Speaker 4: whether it's the sheriff's, you know, city council members, we
30:48
Speaker 4: want them to come and be a part of what
30:50
Speaker 4: the Lord is doing at First Baptist Sector, Canada.
30:52
Speaker 3: And again, the message here is not you know, endorsing
30:54
Speaker 3: political candidates. It's talking about values and voting your values
30:58
Speaker 3: and what you believe in and actually engaging the culture.
31:02
Speaker 3: Because doctor Shreeve, as we pointed, out, I pointed out yesterday,
31:06
Speaker 3: the problem is an overwhelming number of Christians, evangelical Christians
31:10
Speaker 3: are just not going out and voting.
31:14
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, that is that's a crime. You know. I
31:18
Speaker 4: remember a sermon I heard todd years ago from Adrian Rogers,
31:21
Speaker 4: and he used the scripture render to Caesar the things
31:24
Speaker 4: that are Caesar, and render to God's the things that
31:27
Speaker 4: are God's. And he said, well, Caesar is your government,
31:30
Speaker 4: and your government spends a lot of money encouraging you
31:34
Speaker 4: to vote. They want your vote. So what should we
31:38
Speaker 4: do as Christians? We should render to our government what
31:42
Speaker 4: belongs to our government, and that is the participation in
31:46
Speaker 4: the political process. And as you said, you need to
31:49
Speaker 4: be informed. You need to know what this person stands for.
31:53
Speaker 4: And you know, we start in the local level and
31:56
Speaker 4: from there it goes out. But you know, if we
31:59
Speaker 4: don't get involved, I shared this yesterday, all that is
32:03
Speaker 4: required for evil to triumph is for good people to
32:05
Speaker 4: do nothing. And if God's people don't get involved, well
32:08
Speaker 4: who's left to make those decisions? It's the devil's crowd.
32:12
Speaker 3: It's a great point. Well, doctor Sreeve, We're gonna have
32:15
Speaker 3: to leave it there. We always appreciate you and the
32:18
Speaker 3: great work you're doing, not just in text ar Canna,
32:20
Speaker 3: but really across the nation with your ministry. And again,
32:24
Speaker 3: thank you for just a great, great weekend at First Baptist.
32:29
Speaker 4: Thank you, Todd, I appreciate you.
32:30
Speaker 3: You coming all right, doctor Jeff Shreeve, everybody the pastor
32:33
Speaker 3: of the First Baptist Church in textar Cana. And let
32:36
Speaker 3: me tell you, I guess there were a couple of
32:38
Speaker 3: thousand people there yesterday morning for the service. Such a
32:42
Speaker 3: sweet crowd. You don't feel like you're in a mega church.
32:45
Speaker 3: You sort of feel like you're in a in a
32:47
Speaker 3: community church. And so many folks came over and said hello,
32:51
Speaker 3: and they listened to the program, and we just we
32:54
Speaker 3: were so blessed. And Dylan, I got to tell you
32:58
Speaker 3: that brisket was pretty darn good. I'm just gonna tell
33:01
Speaker 3: you it's hard to beat a Texas brisket. Yes, And
33:05
Speaker 3: at the same time, to be serenaded by a piano player.
33:08
Speaker 3: Why I should have put on a tie or something.
33:12
Speaker 3: It really wasn't a barbecue joint. It was a barbecue restaurant.
33:15
Speaker 13: You needed like maybe like a fancy bib, like not
33:18
Speaker 13: the normal South bib, just a fancy bib.
33:21
Speaker 3: That's it. I will I will say this. The waitress
33:25
Speaker 3: came by, and of course we're a Baptist, so you know,
33:27
Speaker 3: we're like, we're the only thing hardcore we drink is
33:30
Speaker 3: maybe sweet tea. And so the waitress came over and
33:33
Speaker 3: I guess somebody had ordered a blue moon. And have
33:36
Speaker 3: you seen those goblets that are like, you know, a gallon.
33:40
Speaker 3: It can fit like a gallon. Yes, So the waitress
33:43
Speaker 3: she goes, guys, would would one of you just like this?
33:46
Speaker 3: We were like, we're good, We're good. And the pastor
33:50
Speaker 3: was like, what, what's a blue moon? I think it
33:52
Speaker 3: came from the Smurts. It came from the Smurts. But
33:57
Speaker 3: all that to say, what a great day. And I
34:01
Speaker 3: know that in Memphis, for example, First Assembly of God,
34:04
Speaker 3: they invited doctor Ben Carson and had a huge patriotic
34:08
Speaker 3: worship service. You know, yesterday at Texarcana. It was amazing.
34:11
Speaker 3: We sang some great songs and worship songs, and we
34:15
Speaker 3: I think they played an instrumental version of one of
34:17
Speaker 3: our great you know, patriotic songs. There were flags all
34:21
Speaker 3: over the all over the perimeter of the church and
34:25
Speaker 3: there it was it was really fun to be in
34:27
Speaker 3: a church that was celebrating America. And I don't know,
34:31
Speaker 3: And maybe we should have asked doctor Shreve why it
34:34
Speaker 3: is that so many churches nowadays are shying away from
34:37
Speaker 3: that because they don't want to offend people. Mike, question
34:39
Speaker 3: is who are you offending? Who are you offending in
34:42
Speaker 3: your church by having an American flag or noting that
34:46
Speaker 3: we are one nation under God. I mean, I just
34:50
Speaker 3: I don't get that. You know, it's not just another Sunday.
34:54
Speaker 3: This is a big anniversary for our nation, two hundred
34:57
Speaker 3: and fifty years. And let me say this as we
35:00
Speaker 3: go to break the one of the untold stories. And
35:05
Speaker 3: I'm working on a new little project for young people,
35:08
Speaker 3: for our young conservative kids. One of the undertold stories
35:12
Speaker 3: is how Baptist and other Christians were influential in raising
35:17
Speaker 3: up an army to fight the British. And that is
35:20
Speaker 3: a story about our heritage. Now, I'm a person of
35:23
Speaker 3: the Baptist faith tradition, and it excites me to know
35:27
Speaker 3: that there were Baptist ministers back, you know, at two
35:29
Speaker 3: hundred and over, two hundred and fifty years ago that
35:31
Speaker 3: were preaching about freedom and liberty from the pulpits. And
35:35
Speaker 3: unfortunately we've got the descendants of those pastors are are
35:40
Speaker 3: quite frankly, they're wet noodles. And that bothers me because
35:44
Speaker 3: we need to have boldness in the pulpit. And I say,
35:48
Speaker 3: good for you if you were at a church yesterday
35:51
Speaker 3: that was celebrating this incredible birthday of America. Nine oh
35:55
Speaker 3: one two six zero five nine two six hour telephone number.
35:59
Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
36:02
Speaker 3: Just got a note from our friend Sydney. He says, Todd, Hey,
36:05
Speaker 3: we sure had a patriotic service at Lancaster Baptist Church
36:10
Speaker 3: that's in the high desert of California, the Antelope Valley.
36:13
Speaker 3: We sang a patriotic melody. We were medley, we sang
36:16
Speaker 3: God bless America, and of course we sang the Star
36:19
Speaker 3: Spangled banner. Nothing wrong with that hanging tide. Everybody. We'll
36:22
Speaker 3: be right back, all right, Welcome back to everybody. It's
36:33
Speaker 3: the Ton Sterns Radio Show. And coming up we're gonna
36:37
Speaker 3: be talking with Wendy Patrick from Newsmax. Also, Jackson Heberlin
36:41
Speaker 3: and Michael Wilson are going to be joining us. A
36:44
Speaker 3: great piano discussion coming up in Seattle over the weekend.
36:48
Speaker 3: Dylan a pretty disturbing situation. They had the big Gay
36:53
Speaker 3: Pride parade and they had a bunch of people walking
36:55
Speaker 3: around butt naked. And I'm just gonna say this, most
36:59
Speaker 3: of the people that are in those pride parades need
37:01
Speaker 3: to be wearing clothes in public.
37:04
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's enough set.
37:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're not talking about sports illustrated swimsuit models here.
37:09
Speaker 13: No, they missed their chance there, So this is this
37:12
Speaker 13: is what they have.
37:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they should have backed up away from the
37:15
Speaker 3: buffet a couple of years ago. It's that's just the
37:18
Speaker 3: reality of it. We don't judge here.
37:19
Speaker 13: It's like how we prepare for the beach. They don't
37:23
Speaker 13: prepare for the priparade.
37:24
Speaker 3: No, and they really should. And there's nothing worse than seeing,
37:28
Speaker 3: you know, those pasty white butt cheeks plastered really stuck
37:31
Speaker 3: onto the the banana seat right of the of the bicycle, always.
37:35
Speaker 13: The bicycle like that. Cannot be comfortable.
37:38
Speaker 3: No, and you and you gotta worry about I mean,
37:40
Speaker 3: God forbid you get something stuck in one of the
37:42
Speaker 3: spokes there, that's not cool.
37:44
Speaker 13: Real problem.
37:45
Speaker 3: You're going to be singing soprana and the Gay Men's
37:47
Speaker 3: Chorus well second soprano. So so anyway, they've got all
37:54
Speaker 3: the We're gonna be talking to Jackson and Michael about
37:57
Speaker 3: the buck naked cyclist who, by the way, they were
38:00
Speaker 3: doing all of this. They were parading around but naked
38:02
Speaker 3: in front of children. And I'm just wondering, why were
38:04
Speaker 3: these people not arrested and why is it that you're
38:08
Speaker 3: allowed to do that in a gay pride I don't
38:11
Speaker 3: care if it's a straight pride parade. You don't need
38:14
Speaker 3: to be wandering around Buck Dakin, especially in front of kids.
38:18
Speaker 3: All Right, nine oh one two six zero five nine
38:20
Speaker 3: two six hour telephone number. This is the Tod Sterns Show, Live.
38:44
Speaker 1: From the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's America's

38:56
Speaker 3: American. Good start. Well, all right, if you have not

39:16
Speaker 3: How Trump Saved America. And I am telling you the

39:41
Speaker 3: doing a nationwide book tour. We'll be telling you more
39:44
Speaker 3: about that as the dates come in. I know a
39:47
Speaker 3: number of radio stations have already reached out wanting us
39:50
Speaker 3: to do events, and we're going to try to get
39:52
Speaker 3: to as many as as we can. So anyway, go
39:56
Speaker 3: to Amazon, Burns and Noble Books a Million, wherever you
39:59
Speaker 3: get your book, and pre order a copy or two
40:02
Speaker 3: real quick. I want to go to the phones. Before
40:04
Speaker 3: we had to take a break, we were talking about
40:07
Speaker 3: churches and I'm just curious whether or not your church
40:09
Speaker 3: had some sort of a worship service where they mentioned
40:13
Speaker 3: the nation's birthday. Maybe there was some sort of a
40:16
Speaker 3: celebration or some sort of a comment about how we
40:21
Speaker 3: are one nation under God. Let's go to Jackson, Tennessee.
40:24
Speaker 3: Lucy is watching us on our YouTube channel. Hi, Lucy,
40:28
Speaker 3: what's on your mind today.
40:30
Speaker 12: Hey, Hey Todd, I love your program, and yes, I
40:34
Speaker 12: go to Inglewood Badgist Church here in Jackson, Tennesseee. I
40:38
Speaker 12: sing in the choir. We sinning as a special myne
40:42
Speaker 12: eyes are seeing the glory as the coming of the Lord. Glory, glory, hallelujah.
40:48
Speaker 12: And we also did America, America the Beautiful in Monteste
40:53
Speaker 12: or doctor Adam Dewley. His whole storm was on the
40:59
Speaker 12: founding of America and how it was spended on the Lord.
41:03
Speaker 12: And he quoted many of our founders and said that
41:08
Speaker 12: if we as a nation don't repent and get right
41:13
Speaker 12: with the Lord, that our nation is going to fall.
41:16
Speaker 12: That we are at a critical state right now.
41:20
Speaker 3: Is that wow?
41:21
Speaker 12: Awesome? Awesome? He called on all of us to repent
41:26
Speaker 12: and to get right with the Lord.
41:28
Speaker 3: Jesus, Lucy, I love hearing that news. That just made
41:32
Speaker 3: my day. And this is the great Englewood Baptist Church
41:36
Speaker 3: there in Jackson, Tennessee. I am so happy that you
41:40
Speaker 3: shared that information with me. We'd like to hear from others.
41:43
Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six, Lucy,
41:47
Speaker 3: thank you for calling in today. Thank you for watching
41:49
Speaker 3: us on our YouTube channel. There is an interesting story
41:53
Speaker 3: coming out of the New York Times. This is the headline,
41:56
Speaker 3: MAGA groups helped Trump push cultural changes schools, which is
42:01
Speaker 3: somewhat laughable, seeing how it is the schools that have
42:05
Speaker 3: been pushing a radical cultural change on the rest of
42:08
Speaker 3: the nation. And the New York Times actually called out
42:12
Speaker 3: one particular organization that has initiated nearly a dozen civil
42:18
Speaker 3: rights investigations targeting diversity programs and transgender policies. That organization
42:24
Speaker 3: called Defending Education. And I want to go right away
42:27
Speaker 3: to our Patriot Global newsmaker line because we are honored
42:31
Speaker 3: to have the vice president of Defending Education joining us today,
42:36
Speaker 3: Sarah Partial Parry, Sarah, it's been a while. Good to
42:39
Speaker 3: have you back with us.
42:41
Speaker 14: It hasn't a while. I always love being with you. Todd,
42:44
Speaker 14: thank you all right.
42:45
Speaker 3: So, wow, clearly you have enraged the New York Times, which, Sarah,
42:50
Speaker 3: that means you have done something incredibly right.
42:54
Speaker 14: I suppose that means that we're over the target. If
42:56
Speaker 14: we've initiated twelve, almost twelve civil rights complaints, you know
43:00
Speaker 14: that's a result of some good research and some good
43:02
Speaker 14: writing and some good law, and civil rights law is
43:05
Speaker 14: not a suggestion it is a mandate. And if all
43:08
Speaker 14: of these schools accept so much as a dollar of
43:10
Speaker 14: federal funding, they are beholden to follow civil rights law.
43:14
Speaker 14: And you would be surprised, or maybe you wouldn't, Todd,
43:16
Speaker 14: because you are someone who has his pulse basically right
43:20
Speaker 14: on where the culture is right now. A lot of
43:23
Speaker 14: institutions of higher education seem to think that they can
43:26
Speaker 14: interpret civil rights law however they want, but the administration
43:30
Speaker 14: has other views on that.
43:31
Speaker 3: You know, one of the cases I was not familiar
43:34
Speaker 3: with involved Smith College, which again is all a women's
43:37
Speaker 3: school one hundred and fifty one years old, and I
43:40
Speaker 3: understanding is that one of the graduation speakers was none
43:43
Speaker 3: other than doctor Rachel Levine, who is what a former
43:47
Speaker 3: Biden administration official who also happens to be a man
43:51
Speaker 3: cosplaying as a woman.
43:54
Speaker 14: That's exactly it. And in fact, Todd, it was that
43:57
Speaker 14: choice of commencement speaker when they also gave that individual,
44:01
Speaker 14: by the way, an honorary degree the same day, that
44:04
Speaker 14: really ignited my curiosity into what was happening at Smith College.
44:08
Speaker 14: What were the policies for an old women's college to
44:11
Speaker 14: make such a curious selection of commencement speaker. Well, sure enough.
44:15
Speaker 14: All it took was a very brief amount of digging
44:17
Speaker 14: before I discovered that, Yes, indeed, not only does Smith
44:20
Speaker 14: College admit natal men who identify as women, but it
44:24
Speaker 14: does not admit natal women who identify as men. So
44:29
Speaker 14: make it make sense, Todd. In addition, all of the
44:32
Speaker 14: facilities are open to biological men who simply identify as women,
44:36
Speaker 14: which to my mind indicates that the moniker of women's
44:40
Speaker 14: college is actually misapplied. Be a co ed college, but
44:44
Speaker 14: be honest about what you are.
44:46
Speaker 3: That's a fair pot way. So if you're a woman
44:48
Speaker 3: who identifies as a man, that makes no sense to me.
44:53
Speaker 14: Right, it is easier out of luck, and you cannot
44:56
Speaker 14: apply to Smith College.
44:58
Speaker 3: Unbelievab All right, tell us what's going on over Wellesley College.
45:01
Speaker 3: We understand they've got a big issue.
45:03
Speaker 14: Yes, in fact they do. In fact, remember of course,
45:06
Speaker 14: that so much of this is the detritus of the
45:09
Speaker 14: Obama administration. Remember, under Catherine Lahman's leadership at the Department
45:13
Speaker 14: of Education's Civil Rights Office, one of the parting missives
45:17
Speaker 14: of that administration was to open all facilities to any
45:21
Speaker 14: individual based on gender identity as opposed to sex. So
45:24
Speaker 14: we saw the inculcation the creep of gender identity into
45:28
Speaker 14: public education way back in about twenty fourteen and twenty fifteen.
45:32
Speaker 14: Well sure enough, just like Smith College, Wellesley College also
45:36
Speaker 14: since twenty fifteen, has been admitting biological males who identify
45:41
Speaker 14: as females. In fact, in the most recent US News
45:44
Speaker 14: and World reports, as many as one point seven percent
45:48
Speaker 14: of Wellesley's students, and the population is very small, it
45:52
Speaker 14: is about twenty five hundred students in total. One point
45:55
Speaker 14: seven percent or more of those students are biologically male.
45:59
Speaker 14: They have been admitted simply on their own self professed
46:02
Speaker 14: gender identity. And by the way, just like Smith, they
46:06
Speaker 14: do not admit biological females who identify as male, but
46:10
Speaker 14: understand that females may transition to a male identity while
46:14
Speaker 14: enrolled at Wellesley College. It does indeed boggle the mind.
46:18
Speaker 3: This is stunning, and according to their actual policies, any
46:22
Speaker 3: applicant who lives as a woman and consistently identifies as
46:26
Speaker 3: a woman would be allowed admittance to the all women's college.
46:31
Speaker 3: You know again, Sarah, we've seen these stories, and not
46:34
Speaker 3: so much in the education world, but definitely within the
46:38
Speaker 3: athletic world. Where women are being denied opportunities, scholarships, positions
46:44
Speaker 3: on teams. I'm wondering is this getting any better, because
46:48
Speaker 3: I know the President put out executive orders, but I
46:50
Speaker 3: don't think people are actually paying attention to the executive orders.
46:54
Speaker 14: No, You're exactly right, Todd. In fact, the country is
46:57
Speaker 14: roughly divided in half at this pointive of the states
47:00
Speaker 14: have specific segregation policies for biological sex in scholastic athletics.
47:06
Speaker 14: In fact, we are waiting, and it will be any
47:08
Speaker 14: day now. I am anticipating tomorrow or potentially Wednesday, a
47:12
Speaker 14: pair of cases on the constitutionality of two women's sports laws,
47:17
Speaker 14: one out of Idaho and the other out of West Virginia.
47:19
Speaker 14: Those are the pair of cases sitting at the Supreme
47:21
Speaker 14: Court right now that will clarify a little bit whether
47:25
Speaker 14: or not sports must be separated by sex. But I
47:28
Speaker 14: do believe the Court will not get to the question
47:31
Speaker 14: of whether Title nine mandates separation by sex. That's the
47:36
Speaker 14: reason that we're seeing California, Minnesota, and Maine on the
47:41
Speaker 14: pointy end of the sphere for the Department of Justice.
47:43
Speaker 14: All three of those states have been sued for violations
47:46
Speaker 14: of Title nine.
47:47
Speaker 3: So we're talking about in many of these cases, we're
47:51
Speaker 3: talking about private schools, Smith and Wellesley. At what point
47:54
Speaker 3: do I mean and how do you push back when
47:58
Speaker 3: people say, well, look at a private school, they should
48:00
Speaker 3: be able to do what they want to do. They
48:02
Speaker 3: should invite whoever they want to invite to be a
48:04
Speaker 3: student at that school.
48:07
Speaker 14: You know, there's a great misunderstanding that private schools are
48:09
Speaker 14: not subject to Title nine, or to Title six, or
48:12
Speaker 14: to other civil rights laws. But as soon as an
48:14
Speaker 14: institution accepts so much as a dollar of federal funding
48:17
Speaker 14: that could be in the form of a pel grant
48:19
Speaker 14: or a student loan, it could be a research grant,
48:22
Speaker 14: or it could be an educational matching program. Any one
48:26
Speaker 14: of those facilities ultimately determines whether or not an individual
48:31
Speaker 14: institution is subject to civil rights law. And so, for example,
48:35
Speaker 14: Wellesley last fiscal year accepted five million dollars in federal funding.
48:39
Speaker 14: In fiscal year twenty twenty four they accepted over twelve
48:43
Speaker 14: million dollars. They don't have to take federal research grants,
48:46
Speaker 14: they don't have to take student loans, but once they do,
48:50
Speaker 14: federal civil rights law attaches. And again that is not
48:53
Speaker 14: a suggestion, but a mandate.
48:55
Speaker 3: Defending ed dot org is the website defending ed dot org.
49:00
Speaker 3: I want you to tell our listeners about defending education
49:04
Speaker 3: and the work that you guys are doing out there.
49:07
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm so proud to be a part of this organization.
49:10
Speaker 14: We are five years old, and our mission is to
49:13
Speaker 14: eliminate political indoctrination and return to excellence in American education. Listen,
49:19
Speaker 14: we understand. We love our school choice friends, we love
49:22
Speaker 14: our private school and parochial school friends, but we also
49:24
Speaker 14: recognize that public education is a necessity for more than
49:28
Speaker 14: eighty percent of American school kids. We want it to
49:30
Speaker 14: work for every school kit, no matter what their religion
49:34
Speaker 14: or belief, their skin color, their gender, whatever their perspective is.
49:39
Speaker 14: It has to work for all of us. And unfortunately,
49:42
Speaker 14: right now it's too politically indoctrinated. That is a function
49:46
Speaker 14: as you and I both know very much of the teachers' unions,
49:49
Speaker 14: but also because the bureaucrats in Washington have had a
49:52
Speaker 14: trickle down effect with very bad policy. Our organization seeks
49:56
Speaker 14: to eliminate all of that and return to rigorous academic excellence.
50:00
Speaker 3: All right, I love it. Well, clearly, you guys are
50:03
Speaker 3: upsetting the Apple card and congratsle the big New York
50:06
Speaker 3: Times piece. So well well done, Sarah, Sarah partial Parry,
50:11
Speaker 3: everybody from Defending Education, Defending ed dot org. Go and
50:16
Speaker 3: check out that website. Check out the great work they're doing, Sarah.
50:19
Speaker 3: Great to see. I know we'll get you back on soon.
50:22
Speaker 14: Thanks so much.
50:23
Speaker 3: Toud All right there you go. Wow, that's that's terrific.
50:27
Speaker 3: You know they got triggered, triggered. Well done, Well done,
50:32
Speaker 3: Sarah Partial Parry. All right, we've got to take a
50:35
Speaker 3: break here, folks. Nine oh one two six zero five
50:38
Speaker 3: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero
50:41
Speaker 3: five nine two six. By the way, this portion of
50:45
Speaker 3: the Tom Stearns Radio Show brought to you by our
50:48
Speaker 3: friends at Newsmax and a study. Fine seventy percent of
50:51
Speaker 3: Americans are not getting the full benefits that you deserve
50:55
Speaker 3: from Social Security. However, expert Michael Allen says there are
50:59
Speaker 3: five strategies to increase your benefits by as much as
51:02
Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty eight thousand dollars over a lifetime.
51:05
Speaker 3: It's all in his report. All you have to do
51:08
Speaker 3: is pick up the phone and give him a call,
51:10
Speaker 3: and News Maxwell send it to you. Right away. Eight
51:12
Speaker 3: hundred nine nine nine ninety six ninety. That's eight hundred
51:16
Speaker 3: nine nine nine ninety six ninety eight hundred nine nine
51:19
Speaker 3: nine ninety six ninety. Text and data rates may apply.
51:34
Speaker 3: All right, Oh, I'm back, Dolan. What's this story we've got?
51:39
Speaker 3: We have an update. Now there's a there's been a
51:42
Speaker 3: situation involving a guy getting arrested for what firing? What
51:46
Speaker 3: was he firing at the naked naked bicycle people?
51:49
Speaker 13: His weapon of toys was the BB gun.
51:52
Speaker 3: Oh okay, so this this has nothing to do with
51:55
Speaker 3: the Seattle situation. So apparently this is some sort of
51:58
Speaker 3: a big national thing. Naked bag bike Rider's day.
52:02
Speaker 12: Hold on?
52:02
Speaker 3: Can I put a pin on that for just a moment?
52:04
Speaker 3: This just angered me out the wazoo yesterday. It's the cyclist.
52:10
Speaker 3: Do they think they are? Do they think they're like,
52:12
Speaker 3: I know, Jesus Christ or something?
52:14
Speaker 13: Are you talking about the clothes?
52:16
Speaker 3: I'm talking about the ones wearing clothes. They're just as
52:19
Speaker 3: annoying as the naked ones. So I'm driving on Wolf
52:23
Speaker 3: River Boulevard yesterday. All right, tired, I'm tired, as I'll
52:27
Speaker 3: get out. I would drove back in from Texar can.
52:30
Speaker 3: It was a five hour drive and I'm exhausted. I'm like,
52:32
Speaker 3: why is traffic backed up?
52:34
Speaker 2: Now?
52:34
Speaker 3: Wolf River Parkway? That road they have a bike lane, right,
52:38
Speaker 3: so you've got like vehicle lanes and then you have
52:41
Speaker 3: a bike lane. Guess what happens if you're driving your
52:44
Speaker 3: car in the bike lane. Guess what happens. You're gonna
52:49
Speaker 3: get in trouble. Not good thing, No, you'll get pulled over. Right,
52:52
Speaker 3: it's against the law. Yes, So these yahoos are out there,
52:55
Speaker 3: and there was like fifteen of them. They travel in herds,
52:59
Speaker 3: these bicycle people.
53:00
Speaker 13: Yeah, there's never just one.
53:01
Speaker 3: No, And you know what they're doing. They're riding in
53:03
Speaker 3: the roadway and not the bike ling.
53:05
Speaker 13: Yes, because there's so many, and they're so uppity.
53:10
Speaker 3: They are just like that, it's insane. And then they
53:13
Speaker 3: get all upset with you if you hank your horn.
53:16
Speaker 3: But you're having people cars were having to like they
53:18
Speaker 3: were having to, you know, jolt into the other lane
53:21
Speaker 3: because nobody wanted to get, you know, caught behind the bikers.
53:25
Speaker 3: But my question to you bike people out there, why
53:27
Speaker 3: aren't you using the bicycle lanes? That's what they are
53:30
Speaker 3: there for.
53:33
Speaker 13: I feel so validated right now by what you're saying.
53:35
Speaker 13: I mean, I come across this problem so many times
53:38
Speaker 13: as well.
53:38
Speaker 3: And you know most of them are like men in
53:40
Speaker 3: their fifties trying to, like I don't know, become the
53:43
Speaker 3: next Allance Armstrong or whatever.
53:45
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, which is fine, right, but it's like
53:47
Speaker 13: you have, you have your own lane that we get
53:49
Speaker 13: pulled over for if we don't, if we don't abide by.
53:52
Speaker 3: That exactly, and then and right exactly, and then if
53:57
Speaker 3: you are like at the part and you're trying to
54:01
Speaker 3: walk at Shelby Farm, this is where I want. This
54:03
Speaker 3: may be, this may only be a Memphis problem, but
54:06
Speaker 3: I don't think it is. You're trying to enjoy a
54:08
Speaker 3: nice walk, and you've got people the bikers will use
54:12
Speaker 3: the pedestrian pathways to ride their little bicycle.
54:15
Speaker 13: Yes they will.
54:18
Speaker 3: You've got a bike path. Why don't you use that?
54:21
Speaker 3: Because if you are a pedestrian and you're they will
54:24
Speaker 3: scream at you. I did that one time by accident.
54:29
Speaker 3: You're in painting the.
54:30
Speaker 4: Roadway, you're red painting the roadway.
54:33
Speaker 3: And he's like, hold on, this is great because I
54:36
Speaker 3: do listen to music. I'm like, oh, you've got it
54:38
Speaker 3: in there, the little dinger or hit the dinger, you
54:41
Speaker 3: know they hit that, just hit it. No, do we
54:46
Speaker 3: have a you the physical thing that the bell?
54:49
Speaker 14: Don't we know?
54:50
Speaker 13: There's the pell oh the bells over here. It's very quiet.
54:54
Speaker 3: Hold on, hold you gotta put up to the microphone
54:56
Speaker 3: and just keep hold on, keep up, keep keep keep ringing.
55:00
Speaker 3: You're in the roadway.
55:02
Speaker 10: You're in the roadway.
55:03
Speaker 3: This is for bikers only. Yeah, that's how they are.
55:08
Speaker 3: All of them. Probably had the spell, all of them,
55:11
Speaker 3: and that's that's what that ding ding ding ding, you know.
55:14
Speaker 3: Let they have a little dead dinger on.
55:16
Speaker 13: Definitely not loud enough. So it's like if I have
55:18
Speaker 13: music in and you know this, because you just said it,
55:21
Speaker 13: I can't hear that thing. I can't hear it. They
55:23
Speaker 13: are gonna have to put it into a speaker, like
55:25
Speaker 13: put it up into an amp or something. If you
55:27
Speaker 13: want me to know that you're coming to my right.
55:30
Speaker 3: All I'm saying is I don't care if you're fifty
55:33
Speaker 3: five years old and dress in spandeggs and ride a bicycle.
55:36
Speaker 3: That's between you and God.
55:38
Speaker 4: You know.
55:39
Speaker 3: The problem I have is when you are using the
55:42
Speaker 3: roadway when in fact, you have a taxpayer funded bike
55:46
Speaker 3: path that you should be using. That's all is that?
55:51
Speaker 3: Is that asking too much diluton?
55:53
Speaker 13: I think you've uh, I think you've validated a lot
55:55
Speaker 13: of people in Germantown just see right now. So irritates
55:59
Speaker 13: me and maybe like made a lot of bikers Matt Eventually.
56:03
Speaker 3: I really don't care. I really don't care. So anyway,
56:08
Speaker 3: back to this situation. In Los Angeles, they arrested a
56:10
Speaker 3: man after he shot naked people with a BB gun
56:14
Speaker 3: as they rode their bicycles through downtown Los Angeles. The
56:19
Speaker 3: poor guy said he didn't have very large targets. I
56:22
Speaker 3: just made that part up. Hundreds of people were spotted
56:26
Speaker 3: riding nude for World Naked Bike Ride. The LAPD says
56:31
Speaker 3: a guy dressed in all black riding a scooter started
56:34
Speaker 3: shooting the cyclist with a BB gun. Is there a
56:37
Speaker 3: place for us to donate money to this guy? Does
56:40
Speaker 3: he have a legal defense fund? I think guy may
56:43
Speaker 3: want to contribute. Two people were hit, the man was
56:48
Speaker 3: taken into custody. People are calling the guy a hero
56:54
Speaker 3: World Naked Bicycle Day. Maybe that's the only good part
56:58
Speaker 3: about yesterday's story is that people were clothed to some extent.
57:02
Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
57:04
Speaker 3: hour telephone number. This is the Todd stern Show. All right,
57:23
Speaker 3: welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Starnes Radio Show.
57:26
Speaker 3: Happy to have you with us. So a lot going
57:28
Speaker 3: on at the Supreme Court today and some wins and
57:32
Speaker 3: some losses, but the losses are pretty big for conservatives.
57:36
Speaker 3: So to help us figure all of this out, our
57:38
Speaker 3: good friend Wendy Patrick, who is a career at trial
57:41
Speaker 3: attorney and a Newsmax columnist. Wendy, good to see you.
57:45
Speaker 3: Hope you had a great weekend.
57:48
Speaker 15: I had the same weekend you did, Todd. Just anticipating
57:51
Speaker 15: today and tomorrow. What are the decisions gonna say?
57:53
Speaker 3: I know, yeah, tomorrow may be very a very difficult
57:56
Speaker 3: day for us today. Not too happy with this Supreme
58:00
Speaker 3: Court ruling of course, Amy Cony Barrett and the Chief
58:03
Speaker 3: Justice siding with the liberal judges, and it concerns me
58:08
Speaker 3: that election integrity maybe in the crosshairs. Walk us through
58:13
Speaker 3: what the court decided to do today.
58:16
Speaker 15: Yeah, well, it's a great example of how the Trump
58:19
Speaker 15: administration doesn't win every.
58:21
Speaker 16: Case in front of the US Supreme Court.
58:24
Speaker 15: You know much as he gloats over rulings that go
58:27
Speaker 15: his way, Like last week, he had a lot of
58:29
Speaker 15: big wins, but this was not one of them. Now,
58:31
Speaker 15: it was a five to four decision, as you mentioned
58:33
Speaker 15: to the conservative sided with the liberals. But what they're
58:35
Speaker 15: basically looking at is what was the question before it.
58:39
Speaker 15: The question was whether federal election statutes barred states from
58:43
Speaker 15: making their own election laws. Now, we all know different
58:45
Speaker 15: states have different manners of conducting elections. Here in California,
58:49
Speaker 15: we wait basically as day after date ticks by after
58:53
Speaker 15: election day because we don't count the ballots right away,
58:56
Speaker 15: and other states have the same frustration, shall we say,
59:00
Speaker 15: because tum what happens when days continue to pass and
59:03
Speaker 15: elections are still up in the air. That gives plenty
59:05
Speaker 15: of time for people to become distrustful over the process. However,
59:10
Speaker 15: the court pointed out that's not the litmus test. It's
59:12
Speaker 15: whether or not you're allowed to have states making their
59:15
Speaker 15: own election laws than you are. So one of the
59:17
Speaker 15: things that we can expect moving forward with a ruling
59:20
Speaker 15: like this is obviously the President pivoted back to the
59:24
Speaker 15: Save Act. Are there other ways in which we can
59:26
Speaker 15: ensure the integrity of elections, which should be a bipartisan passion.
59:32
Speaker 3: And again, when you talk about, you know, integrity at
59:36
Speaker 3: the ballot box, a lot of that also involves the
59:39
Speaker 3: number of foreigners that are voting tomorrow. Of course, birthright citizenship.
59:44
Speaker 3: I'm in hearing from a lot of people who say
59:46
Speaker 3: it doesn't look good for the White House here. What
59:50
Speaker 3: are you hearing about about birthright citizenship?
59:54
Speaker 15: It doesn't look good for the White House. And I
59:57
Speaker 15: have to say, I'm going to argue this both sides
59:59
Speaker 15: of this. On one hand, the Fourteenth Amendments says what
1:00:02
Speaker 15: it does. It talks about people born on American soil.
1:00:04
Speaker 15: The President is saying, yes, but you also need to
1:00:06
Speaker 15: be subject to the jurisdiction of America just like you
1:00:10
Speaker 15: are if you can git a crime here. So it's
1:00:12
Speaker 15: going to be a real uphill battle. But arguing on
1:00:15
Speaker 15: the other side, Todd, I wonder what the Court's going
1:00:18
Speaker 15: to say having agreed to take it up.
1:00:20
Speaker 16: People like me love reading a good dissenting opinion.
1:00:22
Speaker 14: I'm sure you do as well.
1:00:24
Speaker 15: I would love to see what the different justices have
1:00:27
Speaker 15: to say on this and whether or not there's anything
1:00:30
Speaker 15: in the rationale or even a dissenting opinion today that may.
1:00:33
Speaker 16: Show up in the majority opinion of tomorrow.
1:00:35
Speaker 15: So it's one of those blockbusters that I think is
1:00:37
Speaker 15: going to have a little bit on both sides, but ultimately,
1:00:40
Speaker 15: at the end of the day, I do agree with
1:00:42
Speaker 15: a popular opinion that it's not going to go the
1:00:45
Speaker 15: President's way.
1:00:46
Speaker 3: You know, isn't it amazing. Meanwhile, you've got, you know,
1:00:48
Speaker 3: these huge battles going on, even just within the Republican
1:00:52
Speaker 3: circles about what to do with the illegals. The President
1:00:55
Speaker 3: got aod a good ruling on the Haitians, who, by
1:00:58
Speaker 3: the way, were only allowed to stay here for eighteen months.
1:01:01
Speaker 3: That was back during the Obama administration, and many of
1:01:04
Speaker 3: them are still here. And yet you've got Republicans, including
1:01:10
Speaker 3: the governor of Ohio, who was saying, hey, look, these
1:01:13
Speaker 3: people deserve to be here. I want to play this audio.
1:01:16
Speaker 3: This is from Ohio Governor Mike DeWine on why we
1:01:19
Speaker 3: should not be deporting the Haitians. Take a listen, Governor,
1:01:23
Speaker 3: you just started. Secretary Mullin defended the decision. You say
1:01:25
Speaker 3: it's a mistake. What's your take, Well, I think.
1:01:28
Speaker 2: It's a mistake for a number of reasons. You know,
1:01:31
Speaker 2: first of all, to go back to what you were
1:01:33
Speaker 2: just discussing, you cannot fly into Port of Prince today.
1:01:37
Speaker 2: The US carriers are prohibited from going in there. They've
1:01:40
Speaker 2: extended that ban, federal officials the United States have extended
1:01:44
Speaker 2: that ban into September now, and you know it's been
1:01:47
Speaker 2: there for a long time. The reason they can't go
1:01:49
Speaker 2: in there is because these gang leaders who control a
1:01:51
Speaker 2: good part of Haiti today shoot at the planes when
1:01:55
Speaker 2: they come in. So's that's certainly one thing you've pointed out.
1:02:00
Speaker 2: You know, advisories, heavy advisories US citizens do not do
1:02:04
Speaker 2: not go into Haiti. It's a very very dangerous place.
1:02:08
Speaker 2: Just this last week, several more school children were killed
1:02:13
Speaker 2: just because gangs were shooting back and forth. The gangs
1:02:18
Speaker 2: control significant part of Haiti, so it is clearly not safe.
1:02:21
Speaker 2: Anybody who has filed Haiti over a long extended period
1:02:24
Speaker 2: of time knows that it's worse than it is frankly
1:02:28
Speaker 2: ever ever been, and certainly in recent memory. But the
1:02:32
Speaker 2: other point is it is not in the United States' interest,
1:02:38
Speaker 2: certainly not in Ohio's interest to have people who are
1:02:41
Speaker 2: working every single day, who are supporting a family who
1:02:45
Speaker 2: are buying houses, fixing up old houses, starting businesses and
1:02:50
Speaker 2: then put deep roots in this country and really are contributing,
1:02:54
Speaker 2: and yank them out. I mean, look at look at
1:02:57
Speaker 2: what the mayor of Springfield says. Mayor says, that is
1:02:59
Speaker 2: a huge, huge mistake. They're contributing. Robert Bruce says, they're
1:03:03
Speaker 2: contributing greatly mistake to do that. I would cite also
1:03:08
Speaker 2: the two Ohio congressmen who have probably the most Haitians
1:03:12
Speaker 2: Republicans who have the most Haitians in their district, voted
1:03:16
Speaker 2: in favor of the extension of TPS. So what I
1:03:21
Speaker 2: would hope that the Trump administration would do is reconsider this,
1:03:27
Speaker 2: look at how it's going to impact states like Ohio.
1:03:30
Speaker 2: In Ohio, the Haitians are working primarily in manufacturing. They're
1:03:35
Speaker 2: also working in the food area. But if you look
1:03:38
Speaker 2: at where they're working across the country, probably the most
1:03:42
Speaker 2: important area they're working is in healthcare. It's Haitians who
1:03:45
Speaker 2: many times are taking care of your mom or your
1:03:48
Speaker 2: dad who has Alzheimer's, taking care of family members who
1:03:52
Speaker 2: might be in a nursing home. And to say we're
1:03:54
Speaker 2: going to pull all those out, it's just not in
1:03:58
Speaker 2: our own.
1:03:59
Speaker 3: Self interest, Wendy, I did not hear a valid argument
1:04:03
Speaker 3: coming out of the governor.
1:04:05
Speaker 15: What say you, you know, tod I was thinking, how
1:04:09
Speaker 15: gracious you were allowing that tape to just play out,
1:04:12
Speaker 15: because that has nothing to do with the rationale.
1:04:15
Speaker 14: Of the court's holding.
1:04:16
Speaker 15: Basically, the court was saying, you know, the President Trump
1:04:19
Speaker 15: is able to terminate these humanitarian protections for however, many
1:04:23
Speaker 15: people are implicated. Federal law prohibits courts from second guessing
1:04:29
Speaker 15: the administration's determination of which countries were too unsafe to
1:04:33
Speaker 15: deport people to. It's not about who works where or
1:04:37
Speaker 15: whether or not. There are different measures of whether or
1:04:40
Speaker 15: not a different country is safe today tomorrow. Obviously the
1:04:43
Speaker 15: president cares about that. Remember he's looking at that right
1:04:46
Speaker 15: now with respect to the two Venezuela earthquakes. But that's
1:04:49
Speaker 15: not the issue before the court. This was a temporary
1:04:52
Speaker 15: protected status, not permanent tps, not PPS, and that has
1:04:57
Speaker 15: to be what politicians should be focusing on. One thing
1:05:00
Speaker 15: he did say that sort of made my ears perk
1:05:02
Speaker 15: up right there in the middle, is you know he
1:05:04
Speaker 15: can appeal to the President to make a different decision
1:05:06
Speaker 15: as to the timing of when people are deported, where
1:05:09
Speaker 15: what countries are safe or not safe? The Supreme Court
1:05:12
Speaker 15: was saying they don't have the authority to second guess
1:05:14
Speaker 15: that determination.
1:05:15
Speaker 14: That was the holding, all.
1:05:17
Speaker 3: Right, Wendy Patrick joining us on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker
1:05:20
Speaker 3: line today. Wendy going back to the Supreme Court, of
1:05:23
Speaker 3: course birthright citizenship tomorrow. I think it, you know again
1:05:28
Speaker 3: the argument, and I believe it was Justice Alito Whill
1:05:31
Speaker 3: pointed out that this is why you would need something
1:05:34
Speaker 3: like the Save America Act to ensure that the ballot
1:05:39
Speaker 3: box is protected on election day.
1:05:44
Speaker 15: Yes, and you know, the birthright citizenship case is so
1:05:47
Speaker 15: emotionally charged because I mean, babies are precious gifts from God.
1:05:51
Speaker 15: They are the focus of this act when you think
1:05:55
Speaker 15: about it in human terms. Yet the Fourteenth Amendment says
1:05:59
Speaker 15: what it's said, and so when you think about the
1:06:01
Speaker 15: way this is going to be implemented that the President
1:06:03
Speaker 15: is probably not going to win. You pivot back to
1:06:05
Speaker 15: the Save America Act and we realize why this case
1:06:08
Speaker 15: is such a blockbuster. If it were to come out differently,
1:06:12
Speaker 15: if it were to come out in Trump's favor, you
1:06:14
Speaker 15: would have a lot less need. According to the administration
1:06:17
Speaker 15: in really shoring up elections. Now, I'm not convinced that
1:06:20
Speaker 15: everybody is going to see the administration's loss tomorrow as
1:06:25
Speaker 15: a reason to vote for the Save America Act, but
1:06:27
Speaker 15: at least it gives the Trump administration something else to
1:06:30
Speaker 15: argue regarding its importance. And that is also doubly true
1:06:34
Speaker 15: now in light of the ruling we had today that
1:06:37
Speaker 15: basically says, hey, it's okay. This grace period post election
1:06:41
Speaker 15: is okay as long as ballots were received by election day.
1:06:45
Speaker 3: Wendy, I just have to read this to you and
1:06:48
Speaker 3: get your opinion. So this is a cold take, Louisiana
1:06:53
Speaker 3: Senator Bill Cassidy. There is people are now just demanding
1:06:57
Speaker 3: that the Senate do something about the Save Act, which
1:07:00
Speaker 3: is between you and me. I don't think that's going
1:07:01
Speaker 3: to happen. But anyway, Senator Cassidy telling CBS News on
1:07:05
Speaker 3: faceination quote, there are not the votes to pass this Avact,
1:07:09
Speaker 3: but he doesn't think that should be a priority, And
1:07:13
Speaker 3: that to me tells me everything we need to know
1:07:16
Speaker 3: about what's happening in the Senate right now. I think
1:07:18
Speaker 3: these senators actually think they are more important and their
1:07:22
Speaker 3: priorities are more important than those of the president of
1:07:24
Speaker 3: the United States.
1:07:28
Speaker 16: Well, if that is corroborated by what we see occasionally
1:07:31
Speaker 16: when we have occasionally you probably would say frequently when
1:07:34
Speaker 16: we have these televised hearings where the questions of whoever
1:07:38
Speaker 16: happens to be testifying are just speeches and statements, and
1:07:41
Speaker 16: sometimes they're speaking to their constituents or Democrats would say,
1:07:45
Speaker 16: you know, Republicans are speaking to the president. But that
1:07:47
Speaker 16: shouldn't be the case.
1:07:48
Speaker 15: It should be more of a bipartisan process like it
1:07:52
Speaker 15: is with some measures that are uncontroverted. Do you know
1:07:55
Speaker 15: the Supreme Court even has unanimous opinions. They had something
1:07:59
Speaker 15: like twenty four unanimous opinion since October. Nobody talks about
1:08:02
Speaker 15: that because that's not you know, the sexy ones are
1:08:05
Speaker 15: the ones that are ideologically divisive. But it's the same
1:08:08
Speaker 15: thing in the Senate. It should be about reaching consensus
1:08:11
Speaker 15: that benefits the constituencies, not simply about voicing opinions when
1:08:16
Speaker 15: you know they're going nowhere. If a bill is dead
1:08:18
Speaker 15: on arrival, maybe we should be spending our time arguing
1:08:21
Speaker 15: over something that we maybe can reach more consensus.
1:08:23
Speaker 3: Well said, all right, Wendy, we're gonna leave it there.
1:08:25
Speaker 3: Always appreciate your great analysis as always good to hear
1:08:29
Speaker 3: from you.
1:08:31
Speaker 6: Thank you, Tod.
1:08:32
Speaker 3: All right, Wendy Pantrick, everybody got to go all the
1:08:34
Speaker 3: way back to twenty ten, when eighteen month temporary protected
1:08:41
Speaker 3: status was given to the Haitians after the earthquake, right,
1:08:44
Speaker 3: that was the twenty ten earthquake, and they were provided
1:08:46
Speaker 3: eighteen months of temporary protected status. They should all have
1:08:50
Speaker 3: been sent back home after the eighteen month TPS had expired. Meanwhile,
1:08:57
Speaker 3: sixteen years later, here we are, so, ladies and gentlemen,
1:09:01
Speaker 3: what do you think ought to happen? By the way,
1:09:03
Speaker 3: Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen catching huge fire because
1:09:08
Speaker 3: he's saying that all of these people have the right
1:09:11
Speaker 3: to apply to apply for citizenship. Now, how about this
1:09:18
Speaker 3: go back home to Haiti and you can try to
1:09:20
Speaker 3: come here like everybody else and do it the legal way.
1:09:24
Speaker 3: I just don't understand. I don't understand what happens to
1:09:27
Speaker 3: these people once they get inside the Beltway. Maybe, just
1:09:31
Speaker 3: maybe the administration and maybe Congress doesn't seem to understand
1:09:34
Speaker 3: that the American people are fed up here. We're tired
1:09:37
Speaker 3: of paying for all of these bills for these illegal aliens.
1:09:41
Speaker 3: We're tired of it, and especially when American citizens are
1:09:45
Speaker 3: going without. And that's the rubbing. That's the rub for me. Look,
1:09:50
Speaker 3: just hear me on this, Just hear me for a second.
1:09:52
Speaker 3: It would be one thing if every person in America
1:09:56
Speaker 3: was taken care of, if every American citizen was not
1:10:00
Speaker 3: living in poverty, if they're if every veteran had a
1:10:03
Speaker 3: place to live and was cared for, it would be
1:10:06
Speaker 3: an entirely different story. Then we would be able to
1:10:09
Speaker 3: maybe help other people from other countries. But that's not
1:10:12
Speaker 3: the way it is. We've got people here that are
1:10:15
Speaker 3: denied help, denied assistance because that those resources are being
1:10:21
Speaker 3: used to take care of illegals, and that is not right.
1:10:26
Speaker 3: All right? Nine oh one two six zero five nine
1:10:29
Speaker 3: two six. This is the Todd Sterns Show, all right. Well,
1:10:41
Speaker 3: The New York Times has a piece sound a scathing
1:10:45
Speaker 3: report on their former NFL insider. The story involves Diana Rassini,
1:10:56
Speaker 3: and there's been a bit of controversy between Rassini and
1:11:03
Speaker 3: ESPN all sorts of crazy. So apparently she got pulled
1:11:08
Speaker 3: over by a cop and to get out of the ticket,
1:11:15
Speaker 3: she decided to FaceTime the police officer's favorite NFL teams
1:11:22
Speaker 3: coach head coach is crazy and it apparently worked. Rassini
1:11:27
Speaker 3: as the officer, do you want to talk to the coach?
1:11:30
Speaker 3: And sure enough, that's what happened. So she facetimed the
1:11:35
Speaker 3: head coach. The head coach was in his office, said
1:11:37
Speaker 3: what's up. She said, I just got pulled over and
1:11:40
Speaker 3: I wanted you to meet my friend, Officer Joe. So anyway,
1:11:46
Speaker 3: now now she's catching a lot of fire for this.
1:11:49
Speaker 3: She was trying to get out of a ticket. The
1:11:51
Speaker 3: cop still could have given her a ticket. Seems to
1:11:54
Speaker 3: me that's on the cop and not necessarily her. I mean,
1:11:57
Speaker 3: in all seriousness, still, and you get pulled over, you're
1:11:59
Speaker 3: going to your best to get out of the ticket.
1:12:02
Speaker 13: Yeah, you know who I'm calling you.
1:12:04
Speaker 3: No, don't do that, No, no, no, no, I'm going
1:12:07
Speaker 3: to tell you why. So years ago, I was in
1:12:10
Speaker 3: a state and I won't say which state it was,
1:12:14
Speaker 3: and I was speaking at a church and I had
1:12:17
Speaker 3: a flight and we were running late for the flight.
1:12:20
Speaker 3: So the pastor and his wife were going to drive
1:12:23
Speaker 3: me to the airport, and he was exceeding the speed
1:12:27
Speaker 3: limit and so they got pulled over, and so I'm
1:12:33
Speaker 3: in the back seat, and so the pastor said, Officer,
1:12:37
Speaker 3: I have Todd Stearns from Fox News in the back seat,
1:12:41
Speaker 3: and I'm trying to get him to the airport to
1:12:43
Speaker 3: catch a flight. And he was trying to explain why
1:12:46
Speaker 3: he was speeding. And he said, but he said, I'm sorry,
1:12:50
Speaker 3: but who He said, Well, Todd Stearns from Fox News channel.
1:12:53
Speaker 3: And the officer said, I only watched CNN. Cop got it. Yeah,
1:12:58
Speaker 3: pastor got a ticket.
1:13:00
Speaker 13: So you're saying I need to call someone a little
1:13:01
Speaker 13: bit more neutral.
1:13:02
Speaker 3: In Memphis, I would Yeah, it's a it's a blue town.
1:13:06
Speaker 13: That's fair enough. I mean, I you know, I think
1:13:09
Speaker 13: she just did what she had to do, and it
1:13:11
Speaker 13: is on the cop because it depends on what she did.
1:13:14
Speaker 13: She's just speeding. Is that the thing?
1:13:16
Speaker 3: I think? So, Okay, here's the thing I would have
1:13:19
Speaker 3: if I were the cop, I would have like, yeah,
1:13:21
Speaker 3: let's FaceTime, and then I would have given her a ticket.
1:13:23
Speaker 13: Yeah you get both of them.
1:13:28
Speaker 3: I mean seriously, yeah, but yeah, you get pulled over,
1:13:32
Speaker 3: you're doing everything humanly possible to get out of that,
1:13:35
Speaker 3: out of that ticket. I'm just saying, uh nine oh
1:13:38

1:13:51
Speaker 3: church inviting the congregation to receive queer fairy dust. It's
1:13:58
Speaker 3: kind of like a I don't like you would do communion.

1:14:16
Speaker 17: This is a tradition that I learned from my queer
1:14:19
Speaker 17: Mennonite elders and early queer Mennonite theologians John Lynnsheide and
1:14:24
Speaker 17: Ken White. This fairy dust or glitter dust is a
1:14:28
Speaker 17: combination of glitter, dried flowers and dirt from significant places

1:16:08
Speaker 14: Amarican.
1:16:13
Speaker 3: All right, welcome everybody. This is the Todd Starnes Radio Show.
1:16:17
Speaker 3: Great to have you with us. By the way, our

1:16:22
Speaker 3: nine two six That number again, nine oh one two
1:16:25
Speaker 3: six zero five to nine to sing. So an interesting
1:16:30
Speaker 3: situation developing over in the great state of Texas, where
1:16:34
Speaker 3: I just was. The Democrats meeting this past week, and
1:16:40
Speaker 3: they made an interesting pronouncement. They're dealing with this James
1:16:45
Speaker 3: Tallerico fallout, which is all very very odd. So anyway,
1:16:50
Speaker 3: Benjamin Flores took to the microphone and told the assembled
1:16:54
Speaker 3: crowd there the Texas Democrats that they need to be
1:16:58
Speaker 3: defending James Tallerica. Let's take a listen.
1:17:01
Speaker 2: Please, Next time they say that Games is trans, we're
1:17:06
Speaker 2: all trans.
1:17:16
Speaker 7: When they say Games he said gay to fal eating vegan.
1:17:21
Speaker 4: We're all gay, total eating vegans.
1:17:30
Speaker 19: And when they say Games is going to hell, we'll
1:17:38
Speaker 19: say we're all going to hell.
1:17:46
Speaker 13: But jokes on them.
1:17:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think so, Pal. I mean, I'm not
1:17:51
Speaker 3: sure anybody wants to brag about going to hell. But
1:17:53
Speaker 3: the Democrats said they're all going to hell in Texas,
1:17:56
Speaker 3: So there you go. I want to bring into the
1:17:58
Speaker 3: conversation our good friend Michael Will who is the host
1:18:01
Speaker 3: of Patriot Talk nine to twenty, a great radio station,
1:18:04
Speaker 3: our affiliate in Houston. Michael, good to have you with us. Well,
1:18:09
Speaker 3: at least they're at least they're honest about it. I
1:18:12
Speaker 3: suppose what say you? Yeah?
1:18:17
Speaker 19: I mean, it reminds me had a friend who I
1:18:21
Speaker 19: did debate with when I was in high school.
1:18:23
Speaker 3: It wasn't really a friend, it was more of an acquaintance.
1:18:25
Speaker 19: And when he left, it was pretty wild because he
1:18:29
Speaker 19: kind of went out out kind of insane, going with
1:18:33
Speaker 19: leftist principles and ideologies, kind of became a self proclaimed
1:18:36
Speaker 19: communist of sorts. And I remember he posted one time
1:18:38
Speaker 19: the thing that really made me realize how bad things
1:18:41
Speaker 19: had gotten. He said, the Christians keep saying that Satan's
1:18:46
Speaker 19: the one pushing this LGBT stuff, and Satan's the one
1:18:49
Speaker 19: that's for trans rights and gay rights and all this stuff.
1:18:52
Speaker 19: He said, well, then I guess I'm a Satanist. And
1:18:55
Speaker 19: I said, I think he've lost it, buddy, I think
1:18:58
Speaker 19: that you've kind of gone saying and that's I think
1:19:00
Speaker 19: that's why we're at the Democrat Party now. It's not
1:19:02
Speaker 19: even that they necessarily care about any of this, is
1:19:05
Speaker 19: that they've gone so radically and saying that their only
1:19:07
Speaker 19: option to combat real Christianity is to just come out
1:19:11
Speaker 19: and say this sort of stuff.
1:19:12
Speaker 3: You know what, I think what we're going to have
1:19:14
Speaker 3: to do here, Michael, we have got a pretty bad connection.
1:19:19
Speaker 3: So we're going to try to reconnect guys and let
1:19:22
Speaker 3: me know how things work out there. But again that's
1:19:26
Speaker 3: Michael Wilson over on Patriot Talk nine to twenty out
1:19:29
Speaker 3: of Houston. You know, one of the other stories that
1:19:32
Speaker 3: we've been following is the situation in Texas with the
1:19:37
Speaker 3: Bible stories. And one of the one of the great
1:19:40
Speaker 3: things about what Texas is doing here when it comes
1:19:45
Speaker 3: to the Bible stories and mandating Bible reading in public schools.
1:19:51
Speaker 3: This is not We're not talking about theology here, right,
1:19:54
Speaker 3: That's that's not what we are talking about. We're talking
1:19:58
Speaker 3: about giving young people children and introduction into the Bible, which,
1:20:03
Speaker 3: by the way, was crucial to the founding of our nation.
1:20:09
Speaker 3: The teachings and the precepts of the Holy Bible were
1:20:14
Speaker 3: the foundation that the entire country was built upon. So
1:20:19
Speaker 3: for us to come out and say, well, you know what,
1:20:22
Speaker 3: those precepts and those teachings don't matter anymore, that's just
1:20:26
Speaker 3: simply outrageous. And again, John Adams, our second president, our
1:20:30
Speaker 3: constitution holly inadequate for anyone other than a moral and
1:20:35
Speaker 3: religious people. And I know the Democrats are having a meltdown,
1:20:38
Speaker 3: but I want to go through and give you an
1:20:40
Speaker 3: idea of what the children are going to be exposed to.
1:20:43
Speaker 3: This is a grade by grade list of the Bible story. So,
1:20:47
Speaker 3: for example, in first grade, the boys and girls are
1:20:50
Speaker 3: going to learn the story of Jonah and the Whale.
1:20:53
Speaker 3: In second grade, they're going to learn about David and Goliath,
1:20:56
Speaker 3: and in third grade Daniel and the lions den. In
1:21:00
Speaker 3: fourth grade they're going to learn about the necessity for humility,
1:21:04
Speaker 3: the necessity of humility. In fifth grade they're going to
1:21:07
Speaker 3: learn about Moses and the Burning Bush and the parting
1:21:10
Speaker 3: of the Red Sea. And then sixth grade they're going
1:21:13
Speaker 3: to be learning about not being anxious Matthew chapter six.
1:21:18
Speaker 3: In eighth grade, they're going to learn that for everything
1:21:20
Speaker 3: there is a time and a season of the Book
1:21:24
Speaker 3: of Ecclesiastes, and going all the way, all the way
1:21:28
Speaker 3: up to English, in which I guess is Senior English,
1:21:33
Speaker 3: the Definition of Love, First Corinthians, chapter thirteen. So here's
1:21:39
Speaker 3: here's the deal. And again this all goes back more
1:21:43
Speaker 3: than three hundred years. So for even before America became America,
1:21:48
Speaker 3: they were using the Bible, and they were mandating Bible
1:21:51
Speaker 3: reading for students and schools. Thomas Jefferson serving as the
1:21:55
Speaker 3: president of the first Board of Trustees for the Public
1:21:58
Speaker 3: Schools in Washington they not only used the Bible, but
1:22:02
Speaker 3: they also used hymns written by the great hymn writer
1:22:05
Speaker 3: Isaac Watts as reading text. Doctor Benjamin Rush actually wrote
1:22:11
Speaker 3: an essay. He was one of the signers of the
1:22:13
Speaker 3: Declaration of Independence. He was a well known physician, and
1:22:17
Speaker 3: he wrote an essay titled a Defense of the use
1:22:20
Speaker 3: of the Bible as a school book. He wrote these words,
1:22:24
Speaker 3: we profess to be Republicans, and yet we neglect the
1:22:27
Speaker 3: only means of establishing and perpetuating are republican forms of government.
1:22:32
Speaker 3: That is, the universal education of our youth in the
1:22:36
Speaker 3: principles of Christianity by the means of the Bible. Here's
1:22:41
Speaker 3: what Noah what Noah Webster wrote in seventeen eighty eight
1:22:45
Speaker 3: on the education of youth in America. It comes from
1:22:50
Speaker 3: his seventeen eighty eight essay on the Education of Youth
1:22:53
Speaker 3: in America that his wish is not to see the
1:22:56
Speaker 3: Bible excluded from schools, but to see it use as
1:23:00
Speaker 3: a system of religion and morality. So the folks in
1:23:04
Speaker 3: Texas are not doing anything new. They're going right back
1:23:07
Speaker 3: to the roots of our founding fathers, all right. I
1:23:10
Speaker 3: want to bring back in Michael Wilson. I think we've
1:23:12
Speaker 3: got him back. So Michael, I just again, I don't
1:23:17
Speaker 3: have a problem here with what the schools you're trying
1:23:20
Speaker 3: to do.
1:23:23
Speaker 19: Now I don't either, And if I can be honest
1:23:25
Speaker 19: for a minute, if you look back even to the
1:23:28
Speaker 19: English common law, this would have been where we got
1:23:31
Speaker 19: a lot of our stuff. You said three hundred years,
1:23:33
Speaker 19: but you can go back over one thousand years and
1:23:35
Speaker 19: see Anglo Saxon common law. As soon as the nations
1:23:38
Speaker 19: were largely converted in Europe, we already had the makings
1:23:41
Speaker 19: of law coming from the Bible. And so you can't
1:23:44
Speaker 19: not only study American history, you can't even study the
1:23:46
Speaker 19: study of Western civilization at all if you don't have
1:23:50
Speaker 19: Scripture as the bedrock of those things. And so it's
1:23:52
Speaker 19: not necessarily religious teaching. Though we could have a separate
1:23:55
Speaker 19: conversation on why I think that would be acceptable for
1:23:58
Speaker 19: us to say, the reality is that historically, if you
1:24:01
Speaker 19: want to be literate at all, it requires that you
1:24:04
Speaker 19: teach the Bible.
1:24:06
Speaker 3: Look, I think you're absolutely right, but again within the
1:24:09
Speaker 3: context of the United States, and I have the leftist
1:24:12
Speaker 3: out there saying, well, you know, this is raising Christianity
1:24:16
Speaker 3: above Islam or any other religion. Well, yes, it absolutely is,
1:24:20
Speaker 3: because our nation was not founded on Islamic teachings. It
1:24:23
Speaker 3: was founded on Judeo Christian teachings. Yeah. Absolutely.
1:24:29
Speaker 19: That would be like going to a Muslim country where
1:24:31
Speaker 19: they teach the Quran in all of their schools and
1:24:33
Speaker 19: telling them, well, this elevates Islam. They would just look
1:24:37
Speaker 19: at you like you were insane and say, well, of
1:24:39
Speaker 19: course it does.
1:24:39
Speaker 3: That's what we are.
1:24:41
Speaker 19: I think America has become embarrassed recently of our Christian heritage,
1:24:45
Speaker 19: our Christian history, and embarrassed or not, that is the
1:24:48
Speaker 19: fundamental reality of who we are as a people. And
1:24:51
Speaker 19: if you want to get literacy back in schools, if
1:24:52
Speaker 19: you want to teach actual history, you can't do that
1:24:55
Speaker 19: if you don't teach the Bible.
1:24:56
Speaker 3: Well, Michael, I want to bring your attention again to
1:24:59
Speaker 3: the crazy stories over the weekend. You had a lot
1:25:03
Speaker 3: of naked cyclists that were parading about in front of
1:25:06
Speaker 3: kids in Seattle, other cities as well, I believe Los Angeles.
1:25:10
Speaker 3: And yet I mean, you've got kids there. The police
1:25:14
Speaker 3: are not arresting anybody that they're they're turning a blind
1:25:17
Speaker 3: eye in and I think there were a lot of
1:25:19
Speaker 3: people who wish they were blind after some of the
1:25:21
Speaker 3: things they saw parading around in the streets.
1:25:26
Speaker 19: Yeah, I accidentally I saw a post from Andy Yo,
1:25:30
Speaker 19: who said what's going on in Seattle? And it said
1:25:32
Speaker 19: graphic content, and I thought it was gonna be something,
1:25:34
Speaker 19: so I clicked. I clicked view post, and I was
1:25:38
Speaker 19: flabbergashed what popped up on my screen. I could not
1:25:41
Speaker 19: believe what I just witnessed. And I'm not a child,
1:25:43
Speaker 19: but even for me, it was a traumatizing moment. It's
1:25:46
Speaker 19: it's insane. I don't think it's coincidental that at the
1:25:48
Speaker 19: same time that you have this cultural attempt to eradicate Christianity,
1:25:52
Speaker 19: you also have the most insanely depraved things happening in
1:25:56
Speaker 19: the most liberal of cities. I don't think that's coincidental
1:25:58
Speaker 19: at all. I think that we used to have social standards,
1:26:01
Speaker 19: and those standards were largely driven, even if not by
1:26:04
Speaker 19: the law, if by a cultural sense of duty to
1:26:06
Speaker 19: be good people, and that has all but disappeared, especially
1:26:10
Speaker 19: in these super liberal cities. And again, I don't think
1:26:12
Speaker 19: it's coincidental that you're not seeing this in the more
1:26:14
Speaker 19: conservative rural areas. You're seeing it in the liberal areas.
1:26:17
Speaker 19: That's because that's where the social system has eroded so
1:26:20
Speaker 19: fantastically to where you're electing socialist, communist Ugandan born crazy
1:26:26
Speaker 19: people in New York City and having naked bike parades,
1:26:29
Speaker 19: which had for a while, But you have it in Seattle.
1:26:31
Speaker 19: I don't think that's a surprise.
1:26:32
Speaker 3: No, not at all. I want to move on to
1:26:34
Speaker 3: another quick topic here. We've got two reports.
1:26:38
Speaker 11: Now.
1:26:38
Speaker 3: There's an HOA in San Diego County told people, after
1:26:44
Speaker 3: twenty or thirty years of displaying the American flag, they're
1:26:46
Speaker 3: not allowed to fly the American flag anymore. And then
1:26:49
Speaker 3: in a Massachusetts town, residents were warned about displaying American
1:26:55
Speaker 3: flags on their property because it might pose an environmental
1:26:59
Speaker 3: hazard for wild life.
1:27:02
Speaker 19: What say you, I think that if you go back
1:27:07
Speaker 19: and you look at the history of America, we've always
1:27:09
Speaker 19: actually been And I say this often about the right.
1:27:12
Speaker 19: You know, the left wants to kind of coin the
1:27:14
Speaker 19: term environmentalism as their own sort of standard and say
1:27:17
Speaker 19: that the right wingers are anti environmentalism. I would point
1:27:20
Speaker 19: to Teddy Roosevelt and I'd say, actually, right wingers have
1:27:23
Speaker 19: long been the bastion of real environmentalism in America. We
1:27:25
Speaker 19: actually do believe in environmental values, just not in the
1:27:28
Speaker 19: insane radical ways the left does. And we've never, ever,
1:27:32
Speaker 19: ever had a problem flying our flag and making that
1:27:35
Speaker 19: work alongside environmental issues. Ever and again we talk about coincidences.
1:27:40
Speaker 19: I do not think that it is wild to assume
1:27:42
Speaker 19: that these are coming out of super crazy liberal states
1:27:46
Speaker 19: where they're pushing this sort of nonsense like you can't
1:27:48
Speaker 19: fight the flag all of a sudden In twenty twenty six,
1:27:50
Speaker 19: after two hundred and fifty years by the way of
1:27:53
Speaker 19: doing so with little to no problems.
1:27:55
Speaker 3: Newbury, Massachusetts, they send out a letter of residence ahead
1:27:58
Speaker 3: of July fourth saying that the American flag endangers birds
1:28:03
Speaker 3: and can lead to penalties. So now there are a
1:28:07
Speaker 3: lot of folks so wanting to put together some sort
1:28:09
Speaker 3: of illegal defense fund in the event somebody gets punished
1:28:12
Speaker 3: and fined for flying old Glory. Michael, this is what
1:28:17
Speaker 3: concerns me is that after Donald Trump, I think we
1:28:21
Speaker 3: go back to life as normal in this country. And
1:28:24
Speaker 3: I think that unfortunately we have not been able to
1:28:27
Speaker 3: undo enough of the damage that the left has done
1:28:30
Speaker 3: it in the United States.
1:28:34
Speaker 19: Yeah, and I will also say, I think this highlights
1:28:36
Speaker 19: the level of divisiveness in our country as well. Todd,
1:28:40
Speaker 19: not only are we going to go back to life
1:28:42
Speaker 19: as normal, but normal I think means an entirely different thing,
1:28:45
Speaker 19: not only from Trump, but also after COVID timeframes and
1:28:47
Speaker 19: a lot of the propaganda that people woke up to
1:28:49
Speaker 19: as a result of the COVID propaganda. And I think
1:28:52
Speaker 19: you see a sort of delineation between two different groups
1:28:56
Speaker 19: of people. You have the left and you have the right.
1:28:58
Speaker 19: And before even before Trump, before COVID, it was relatively
1:29:01
Speaker 19: easy to kind of live together, even though there were
1:29:03
Speaker 19: in some insane disagreements. Nowadays, you have the right even more,
1:29:07
Speaker 19: possibly more because of Trump and because of everything that happened,
1:29:09
Speaker 19: possibly even more patriotic than ever before. And you have
1:29:12
Speaker 19: the left who's less patriotic than ever before. And so
1:29:16
Speaker 19: you now have the left saying no American flags, and
1:29:18
Speaker 19: the right is more incentivized than ever to put up
1:29:20
Speaker 19: American flags. And I think it's just gonna continue to
1:29:22
Speaker 19: balloon like that until I don't know what happens.
1:29:25
Speaker 3: All right, Well, Michael, we're gonna have to leave it there,
1:29:27
Speaker 3: my friend, A good hearing from you, and keep up
1:29:30
Speaker 3: the great work. You guys are running a gun in
1:29:31
Speaker 3: down there at Houston now on Patriot TALC. Nine twenty.
1:29:36
Speaker 19: I know we're doing everything we can to keep making
1:29:38
Speaker 19: Houston a better place. I remind everybody Houston used to
1:29:40
Speaker 19: be a right wing city. We were Republican until like
1:29:43
Speaker 19: twenty seventeen, and so we're only a decade into this nonsense.
1:29:46
Speaker 19: Nine years, not even a decade into this leftist nonsense.
1:29:49
Speaker 19: I still think we have a massive shot at taking
1:29:51
Speaker 19: that back, no.
1:29:52
Speaker 3: Doubt about it, no doubt about it. All right, Michael Wilson,
1:29:54
Speaker 3: everybody on Patriot TALC. Nine to twenty. We're gonna have
1:29:57
Speaker 3: to take a quick break here. Nine oh one two
1:29:59
Speaker 3: six year old five nine two six. That's nine oh
1:30:02
Speaker 3: one two six zero five to nine two six. This
1:30:05
Speaker 3: is the Todd Storms Show, all right, Welcome back to everybody.
1:30:17
Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
1:30:21
Speaker 3: Let's go to William in Morehead City, North Carolina. Wants
1:30:25
Speaker 3: to weigh on Betsy Ross. What's going on? William?
1:30:29
Speaker 10: Hey there, I heard about this mass just now. I've
1:30:35
Speaker 10: got family out to meet him Massachusetts, and we have
1:30:41
Speaker 10: an opposition, and I don't miss aloney our country.
1:30:47
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, we can barely understand you, can you
1:30:50
Speaker 3: just kind of speak into your phone there, William, there
1:30:53
Speaker 3: we go.
1:30:54
Speaker 10: We have one of the original thirteen star Betsy Ross
1:30:58
Speaker 10: flags and I fly and if somebody tells me I
1:31:02
Speaker 10: can't fly that flag, they're gonna be on the fighting
1:31:06
Speaker 10: side of me.
1:31:07
Speaker 4: Uh.
1:31:07
Speaker 10: We've flown this flag in my family for over two
1:31:11
Speaker 10: hundred and fifty years, wow, before we were yes, and
1:31:15
Speaker 10: I fly to this day.
1:31:18
Speaker 3: Is there somebody telling you not to fly the flag?
1:31:22
Speaker 10: Well, I heard that thing about it could interfere with
1:31:27
Speaker 10: wildlife and that there's nothing. This bothers me a lot
1:31:32
Speaker 10: because we've always lived by the principle whatsoever you do
1:31:37
Speaker 10: to the least of thee and that means birds, critters
1:31:40
Speaker 10: of any work, that's what you do. And to me,
1:31:44
Speaker 10: and that's just silly that somebody would say you can't
1:31:48
Speaker 10: fly the American flag. That to me, that is just
1:31:54
Speaker 10: a the socialist. I can't understand what it is they
1:31:59
Speaker 10: are trying to accomplish. You will not you won't run out,
1:32:05
Speaker 10: will runs down? You know. I think the British worn
1:32:08
Speaker 10: had a long time ago, didn't.
1:32:10
Speaker 3: He Well it's a fair point. Yeah, Look At the
1:32:14
Speaker 3: end of the day, there's no way an American flag
1:32:17
Speaker 3: is a danger to wildlife, not in birds. It doesn't
1:32:21
Speaker 3: really matter. These are people that just hate America and
1:32:25
Speaker 3: the reality is and there's actually NBC News has a
1:32:28
Speaker 3: story about this, and they're saying that more Americans, more Democrats,
1:32:32
Speaker 3: hate America and the American flag more than any other
1:32:35
Speaker 3: time in American history. William thank you for the call.
1:32:41
Speaker 3: According to a report from NBC News, to fly or
1:32:48
Speaker 3: not fly an American flag? That was number a question
1:32:50
Speaker 3: for Bruce Watson, who would put his national pridal display
1:32:53
Speaker 3: for years and not his neighbors in a small New
1:32:56
Speaker 3: England town to do the same. He says, I'm very
1:32:58
Speaker 3: proud of our flag. It's the symbol of we the people.
1:33:02
Speaker 3: But as the polarized nation marks its two hundred and
1:33:04
Speaker 3: fiftieth birthday, mister Watson worries his stars and stripes may
1:33:09
Speaker 3: now need an asterisk. If we do fly the flag,
1:33:12
Speaker 3: we will also put out signs to make it clear
1:33:15
Speaker 3: we are not MAGA. What does that have to do
1:33:17
Speaker 3: with anything? And by the way, what is wrong with mega?
1:33:20
Speaker 3: MAGA stands for make America Great Again? Who opposes that?
1:33:25
Speaker 3: And I want to know, why do you oppose making
1:33:27
Speaker 3: America great? The American flag is a symbol stripped with
1:33:32
Speaker 3: many meanings, whether it's hun on front porches, waved in parades, protests,
1:33:37
Speaker 3: and World Cup marches or matches, or stamped on lapel
1:33:40
Speaker 3: pins and boxing trunks. Like so much else in American life,
1:33:44
Speaker 3: it has also been tangled up in politics and the
1:33:47
Speaker 3: policies of President Trump. Who how how so? NBC News
1:33:54
Speaker 3: asked readers to share their feelings and practices around the flag,
1:33:58
Speaker 3: suggesting that patriotism, national pride, and optimism are all frayed. Yeah,
1:34:06
Speaker 3: it's because of the reporting of NBC News, among other places. Anyway,
1:34:12
Speaker 3: I'm just curious, ladies and gentlemen, do you still fly
1:34:14
Speaker 3: the American flag? Are you proud to be an American?
1:34:17
Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
1:34:19
Speaker 3: our number? This is the Todd starn Show. All right,
1:34:39
Speaker 3: let's go back to the Phone's here Foy in Gainesville, Georgia,
1:34:44
Speaker 3: WDU and our great affiliate there, Hi Foy, what's on
1:34:47
Speaker 3: your mind?
1:34:48
Speaker 20: Hi?
1:34:49
Speaker 11: Todd?
1:34:50
Speaker 20: I have a lot of things over my mind. But
1:34:52
Speaker 20: you opened your program today saying, how were our churches
1:34:56
Speaker 20: going to be celebrating my church in flag at Black
1:35:00
Speaker 20: Creek Baptist Church in Gainesville is having our celebration the
1:35:04
Speaker 20: day after the fourth of July, July the fifth, and
1:35:08
Speaker 20: my senior adult choir, which calls itself the Golden Corral,
1:35:13
Speaker 20: is going to be singing a patriotic medley and also
1:35:19
Speaker 20: we're going to do the Lee Greenwood song and our
1:35:22
Speaker 20: new Minister of music is going to do the solo
1:35:25
Speaker 20: part at first, and so we hope it'll be a
1:35:28
Speaker 20: blessing to people. We do love. We do love our
1:35:32
Speaker 20: country in this part of Georgia. I've loved it from
1:35:36
Speaker 20: the time I was a little girl, and I still
1:35:38
Speaker 20: recall when my sixth grade teacher one morning said we
1:35:43
Speaker 20: always had the Pledge of Allegiance, and she said, today, children,
1:35:46
Speaker 20: we're going to add something to our Pledge of Allegiance,
1:35:50
Speaker 20: and so we did. One Nation under God, indivisible with
1:35:56
Speaker 20: liberty and justice for all the under God was added
1:36:00
Speaker 20: to that several back in the I believe it was
1:36:04
Speaker 20: either about the fifties or sixties. Anyway, I remember it happening,
1:36:09
Speaker 20: and her name was miss Edith Manning. And I've tried
1:36:13
Speaker 20: to teach children through the years being a school teacher
1:36:16
Speaker 20: and a teacher at church. To love God and to
1:36:19
Speaker 20: love our country, and most of all, most important is
1:36:24
Speaker 20: loving Jesus, who is the Son of God.
1:36:27
Speaker 7: And so we.
1:36:30
Speaker 20: Do that every time we meet with children. And also
1:36:34
Speaker 20: I thought about this song just a little earlier today.
1:36:37
Speaker 20: You remember the old popular song called all the world
1:36:41
Speaker 20: needs now is love, Sweet Love. I think I think
1:36:45
Speaker 20: that what the world needs now is Jesus. And we
1:36:48
Speaker 20: need to continue telling the story of Jesus and his
1:36:52
Speaker 20: love for us, because he died for all of us
1:36:56
Speaker 20: and everyone, everyone, every race, every uh, every every person.
1:37:03
Speaker 20: And so I just wanted to share all of that
1:37:06
Speaker 20: with you and tell you how much I enjoy enjoy
1:37:10
Speaker 20: listening to you every day, and you always have so
1:37:14
Speaker 20: many good things that come on, and it's a blessing.
1:37:17
Speaker 20: It's a blessing to me. And I have a lot
1:37:19
Speaker 20: of friends who tell me that they listen to when
1:37:24
Speaker 20: we chat with each other. So I believe that's all.
1:37:27
Speaker 20: I've got other things on my mind. But let's just
1:37:29
Speaker 20: let's just stup with that today, Okay.
1:37:31
Speaker 3: Miss boy, I love it you self edited as they say,
1:37:35

1:38:11
Speaker 13: That' said to be a hot day.
1:38:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, so your uncle will be I'm assuming overseeing the
1:38:15
Speaker 3: fireworks again in Germantown.
1:38:17
Speaker 13: So yeah, they do it pretty big over there every
1:38:19
Speaker 13: single year.
1:38:19
Speaker 3: It's it's a it's a hoot, Nanny. I just pull out,
1:38:22
Speaker 3: I haul out a lawn chair, I put it under
1:38:25
Speaker 3: the clock tower, and I just I have a good evening.
1:38:29
Speaker 13: We know the exact spot that you'll be at exactly.
1:38:32
Speaker 3: So I'm a creature of a creature of habit. By
1:38:38
Speaker 3: the way, I can't I should, I shure I'm gonna
1:38:40
Speaker 3: share this a fella came up. No, I can't share
1:38:44
Speaker 3: this story. You have to No, I can't share it.
1:38:46
Speaker 3: Now I'll explain why I know. I can't even do that.
1:38:50
Speaker 3: I I'll tell you guys in the break. My apologies,
1:38:53
Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen. Sorry about that. So anyway, the State Fair,
1:38:58
Speaker 3: you know, the Great American State Fair underway in Washington
1:39:01
Speaker 3: CE and they've got well all they don't have all
1:39:03
Speaker 3: fifty states because some of the Democrats did not send
1:39:05
Speaker 3: an exhibits, the North Carolina exhibits, causing controversy because someone
1:39:10
Speaker 3: displayed a Confederate flag in the North Carolina State exhibit.
1:39:14
Speaker 3: But one of the things I've noticed, Dylan, as I've
1:39:16
Speaker 3: been watching all the TV coverage, there's nobody there. It's
1:39:20
Speaker 3: just like empty, no crowds I've seen. That's what's going on. Yeah,
1:39:25
Speaker 3: so they had the ferris wheel, and then I realized
1:39:28
Speaker 3: there was no like midway. So you don't have the
1:39:31
Speaker 3: you don't have the food trucks, you don't have the
1:39:34
Speaker 3: Pronto pups.
1:39:35
Speaker 13: Yeah, you need the stuff that's the fried stuff that's
1:39:37
Speaker 13: not supposed to.
1:39:38
Speaker 3: Be the funnel cakes. Where's the funnel cake guy? And
1:39:40
Speaker 3: this freshly squeezed lemonade guy, that's really country time and
1:39:44
Speaker 3: pouring it in.
1:39:45
Speaker 13: You should have taken care of the venders here.
1:39:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing. You got to have the vendors,
1:39:50
Speaker 3: not so much the clowns or the little you know,
1:39:52
Speaker 3: the little midget people, little people. But I'm talking about
1:39:56
Speaker 3: where is everybody? That's what I want to know.
1:39:59
Speaker 13: It's a good question. I mean, should they have had
1:40:01
Speaker 13: roller coasters?
1:40:02
Speaker 3: Maybe?
1:40:02
Speaker 13: I don't know.
1:40:03
Speaker 3: I you know, it was maybe a good idea, but
1:40:08
Speaker 3: sometimes you gotta left the state fear to the state fair.
1:40:11
Speaker 3: I mean, where's the five hundred pound cow made out
1:40:13
Speaker 3: of butter? That's what I want to know.
1:40:15
Speaker 13: It's also a Monday. I don't know if that takes
1:40:17
Speaker 13: into account.
1:40:18
Speaker 3: That was on the weekend to well what about the
1:40:21
Speaker 3: deep fried oreos?
1:40:22
Speaker 13: Yeah? Where are those come on? Deep fried? What else? Butter?
1:40:28
Speaker 4: What is it? The what?
1:40:29
Speaker 3: What's the freak show exhibits? What do you call the
1:40:32
Speaker 3: bearded lady? Old? That's trans week? My apologies.
1:40:37
Speaker 13: That's well they used to be right.
1:40:40
Speaker 3: You used to have like the bearded lady and the
1:40:42
Speaker 3: you know, the thousand pound woman. Yeah, and the I'm
1:40:46
Speaker 3: just saying I have the tallest guy in the little
1:40:48
Speaker 3: short fellow, midget, little fella, and all those where are
1:40:51
Speaker 3: all those people? Where's the circus call? Not the clowns,
1:40:57
Speaker 3: those people freak me out. But what about the elephants? Said,
1:41:01
Speaker 3: the tigers and the lions, and the little monkey people,
1:41:06
Speaker 3: my monkey, you ivan the little monkeys, like the actual monkey, Yes,
1:41:09
Speaker 3: the actual monkeys. Yeah, and they wear the little uniforms
1:41:13
Speaker 3: and they you know, they jump on people, and exactly,
1:41:18
Speaker 3: you gotta be careful in DC. There's a lot of
1:41:20
Speaker 3: poop to slean. I sent Bendetter a text message and
1:41:25
Speaker 3: I said, Dieter, what's because he likes to go running
1:41:27
Speaker 3: down through there? And so I haven't heard back from it.
1:41:30
Speaker 3: And I'm like, where are all the people? Because the
1:41:34
Speaker 3: Trump administration says it's wall to wall people And I'm like,
1:41:38
Speaker 3: where where We're looking at the pictures and I'll get
1:41:43
Speaker 3: hate mail again. How dare you? How dare you question
1:41:47
Speaker 3: the president's arithmetic? Those numbers are valid. There are so
1:41:51
Speaker 3: many people you can't even see them, all right, whatever, whatever,
1:41:56
Speaker 3: I'm just saying. It was a good idea in theory,
1:41:59
Speaker 3: but you know, when you when you put it out there,
1:42:02
Speaker 3: it's just like, all right, what is it.
1:42:07
Speaker 13: I wanted to see a roller coaster going through the
1:42:09
Speaker 13: White House and then over the top and then.
1:42:12
Speaker 3: Oh, do the loop de doope around the dome of
1:42:14
Speaker 3: the Capitol.
1:42:15
Speaker 13: Yeah, why not.
1:42:18
Speaker 3: Love that. Then it could go through like one of
1:42:20
Speaker 3: the bad parts of DC where people shoot at you.
1:42:23
Speaker 13: It's an interactive ride, right, I like that. I don't know,
1:42:28
Speaker 13: you know, we're throwing out great ideas here.
1:42:30
Speaker 3: Maybe they should have consulted with us. I think, first,
1:42:33
Speaker 3: who's our friend jan who's over the Delta State Fair?
1:42:37
Speaker 3: You know they they do this like the corn on
1:42:40
Speaker 3: the cob. I just don't see people turkey leg Yeah,
1:42:44
Speaker 3: you gotta have the seventy pound turkey. Those are really ostriches,
1:42:47
Speaker 3: they really are.
1:42:48
Speaker 13: I don't think that's a turkey. There's no way.
1:42:51
Speaker 3: I'm just wanting we could have given them a better
1:42:54
Speaker 3: They just need some help, that's all.
1:42:56
Speaker 2: I mean.
1:42:56
Speaker 3: They do a great job, but I mean, let's get real.
1:42:58
Speaker 3: When you're talking about the Great American State Fair, that's
1:43:01
Speaker 3: getting redneck it. It has to be in the South,
1:43:03
Speaker 3: and I don't think they do redneck very well.
1:43:05
Speaker 13: No, we fry things that aren't supposed to fry here.
1:43:08
Speaker 3: It's It's true well, I will say this. I think
1:43:11
Speaker 3: the people up in up in the Midwest, they do
1:43:16
Speaker 3: really good jobs with their state fairs. Oh here we go,
1:43:19
Speaker 3: so uh PBS Public Welfare Broadcasting, So here we go.
1:43:26
Speaker 3: There was an exhibit featuring dinosaur bones, but again you
1:43:30
Speaker 3: go to the Smithsonian for that, right, I just don't know.
1:43:35
Speaker 3: They got the one hundred and ten foot tall ferris
1:43:37
Speaker 3: wheel and that's the only ride. That's it. I think
1:43:40
Speaker 3: that's the problem. You got to have more rides, and
1:43:44
Speaker 3: you gotta have fried food. And I know RFK juniors
1:43:47
Speaker 3: all mister Maha, there's no Maha out of state fair.
1:43:53
Speaker 13: Right, nobody's supposed to.
1:43:55
Speaker 3: Nobody's eating salad at the state fair.
1:43:58
Speaker 13: Unless it's like fried leaves, fried leaf salad.
1:44:01
Speaker 3: So they had one of the exhibits was a dinosaur
1:44:04
Speaker 3: ribbit cage, and the other was a seven thousand pound
1:44:07
Speaker 3: sand castle made with Jersey Shore sand. There are two
1:44:12
Speaker 3: rocking chairs and an unstamped booth, as well as a
1:44:15
Speaker 3: number of empty spaces. Geez, that makes a sense somewhat miserable,
1:44:20
Speaker 3: And that's what it looks like. There's just nobody there anyway,
1:44:27
Speaker 3: it is what it is. I suppose the fair booths,
1:44:31
Speaker 3: all inside structures that resemble neoclassical architecture of the nearby
1:44:36
Speaker 3: National Gallery of Art offered snippets of Americana to visitors.
1:44:41
Speaker 3: Montana had the rib cage of the dinosaur umm which
1:44:48
Speaker 3: was what's called an a Potosaurus, which is a cousin
1:44:52
Speaker 3: of the Brontosaurus. Virginia's booth offered a journey through the
1:44:57
Speaker 3: state's role in American history. You gotta have something fun.
1:45:03
Speaker 3: I mean, if what was a Virginia known for tobacco? So, okay,
1:45:06
Speaker 3: you're gonna roll your own joints or something. I'm just
1:45:09
Speaker 3: throwing that out there. Texas included a space capsule, a
1:45:13
Speaker 3: facade of the Alabo, and a statue big text. Okay.
1:45:18
Speaker 3: The one place where there was a line outside was
1:45:22
Speaker 3: for Arizona's exhibit, which had an interactive exhibit allowing visitors
1:45:26
Speaker 3: to put themselves in terrain from the state, which is
1:45:29
Speaker 3: kind of cool. So instead of like dying in the desert,
1:45:32
Speaker 3: you can pretend like you're in the desert when you're
1:45:34
Speaker 3: in fact in air conditioning.
1:45:37
Speaker 13: Texas missed their chance at having a mechanical bowl for sure.
1:45:41
Speaker 3: I think, oh that's it. There should have been a
1:45:44
Speaker 3: mechanical bull.
1:45:45
Speaker 13: I mean you have to.
1:45:46
Speaker 3: We should have had like bluegrass or something in like
1:45:48
Speaker 3: a bluegrass band Dollywood in the Tennessee booth. Yeah yeah,
1:45:55
Speaker 3: so there you go. Hawaii and Alaska did not have booths.
1:46:01
Speaker 3: They just had a couple of rocking chairs. That sucks.
1:46:06
Speaker 3: That's not good. Oh, however, some people were taking advantage
1:46:10
Speaker 3: of the rocking chairs to you know, take a load off.
1:46:13
Speaker 3: There you go, all right, Well maybe well maybe the
1:46:19
Speaker 3: next anniversary they could they can put something together. I
1:46:23
Speaker 3: don't know. It's a missed opportunity, in my estimation, a
1:46:27
Speaker 3: missed opportunity. Nine oh one two six zero five nine two.
1:46:32
Speaker 3: Let's go to mic and gain some of Georgia. Hey, Mike,
1:46:34
Speaker 3: what's on your mind?
1:46:36
Speaker 17: Well?
1:46:37
Speaker 21: Thanks, you take my call, Todd. I don't think I
1:46:40
Speaker 21: can help you with a state part of you know,
1:46:45
Speaker 21: display problem. But one thing I would like to say
1:46:47
Speaker 21: is that I think if we really are honest with
1:46:51
Speaker 21: ourselves and we look at the the some of the
1:46:53
Speaker 21: irrational things that are being proposed for our republic and
1:46:58
Speaker 21: then tearing it apart and imagining that somehow, if we
1:47:04
Speaker 21: do such a thing, that we'll have something better after that,
1:47:09
Speaker 21: that's that's not that's not rational at all, because we
1:47:13
Speaker 21: have it better than anybody in the whole world, where
1:47:15
Speaker 21: you should be thankful for it. So what I would
1:47:18
Speaker 21: like to suggest is that we examine us so spiritually,
1:47:21
Speaker 21: we look at ourselves, and we're coming up on the
1:47:24
Speaker 21: on the fourth of July weekend, when so many things
1:47:28
Speaker 21: are commemorated, why don't we fast and pray? And that's
1:47:32
Speaker 21: Almighty God. That helps traighten this out, because I think
1:47:35
Speaker 21: we're I think we're in deep right now.
1:47:38
Speaker 3: Well we are in deep, Mike, And and look, I
1:47:41
Speaker 3: hear you. I don't mind praying, but the fast thing.
1:47:43
Speaker 3: I mean, we got burgers and hot dogs on the way,
1:47:45
Speaker 3: my friends, So that might be Hartman, but nobody. But
1:47:49
Speaker 3: I hear what you're I hear what you're saying, and
1:47:51
Speaker 3: I think it's a great it's a great idea.
1:47:54
Speaker 4: You know.
1:47:54
Speaker 3: My concern here is there are people that hate America.
1:47:57
Speaker 3: They just hate hate who we are. And I just,
1:48:01
Speaker 3: you know, I feel bad for those people because you've
1:48:04
Speaker 3: got all these foreigners coming in for the World Cup.
1:48:06
Speaker 3: They love America, they love everything with everything about us,
1:48:10
Speaker 3: and yet you've got people here that are so triggered
1:48:14
Speaker 3: by Donald Trump that you know, they just want to,
1:48:17
Speaker 3: I don't know, burn our country down. And I don't know.
1:48:21
Speaker 3: I hope prayer works on those people, but I don't know.
1:48:24
Speaker 3: They're hard hearted.
1:48:28
Speaker 21: Well, Tyler, I think we don't have a sound spiritual
1:48:31
Speaker 21: foundation that any other foundations will be very temporary.
1:48:38
Speaker 3: Mike, it's it's a good word of warning to share
1:48:42
Speaker 3: with the audience, And thank you for calling in. That
1:48:45
Speaker 3: does remind me, Dylan, we should probably open the foot.
1:48:48
Speaker 3: What is it that constitutes a good Fourth of July spread?
1:48:51
Speaker 3: What do you got to have for the Fourth of July?
1:48:54
Speaker 13: Uh, definitely burgers and hot dogs. In my opinion, you
1:48:56
Speaker 13: got to have both. Pretty simple there for me. But
1:48:59
Speaker 13: I mean sides. I mean, I don't know, mac and cheese, fries,
1:49:02
Speaker 13: mac and cheese, I don't know.
1:49:04
Speaker 3: For a picnic, you gotta do the potato.
1:49:06
Speaker 13: Salad, potato salad, Yeah, would be hard.
1:49:09
Speaker 3: What kind of potato salad? You got? The mayonnaise based
1:49:11
Speaker 3: potato salad or you got the mustard.
1:49:14
Speaker 13: Well, that's a different conversation that would stir up a
1:49:16
Speaker 13: lot more people.
1:49:17
Speaker 3: Actually, yeah it could. But you gotta have you gotta
1:49:20
Speaker 3: baked beans, you gotta do the baked beans.

1:49:26
Speaker 13: barbecue going on there with the sides.

Speaker 3: I ever even seen a golf club. He didn't even
1:51:01
Speaker 3: know which end of the golf club to use, is
1:51:03
Speaker 3: what he alleged.

1:51:32
Speaker 13: It is fun. It'll cost you a little penny if
1:51:35
Speaker 13: you're staying for over an hour, But really, it is
1:51:38
Speaker 13: very fun if you do like to let out some anger,
1:51:40
Speaker 13: maybe hit a few golf balls as far as you
1:51:42
Speaker 13: possibly can. That's what I'd kind of choose to do.
