0:33
Speaker 3: the Todd Starns Radio program. Great to have you with
0:36
Speaker 3: us today wherever you might be listening to us or
0:40
Speaker 3: watching us across the fruit head plane. And let me
0:44
Speaker 3: just say, there are some days and I wish I
0:47
Speaker 3: was not a good and decent Southern Baptist because Dylan
0:52
Speaker 3: I could have used a whole bottle of Tennessee sip
0:54
Speaker 3: and whiskey after hosting that debate last night.
0:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can vouch for that.
0:59
Speaker 3: Jeez, I gotta this was It was wild. We we
1:05
Speaker 3: hosted for a k RAM, which is the radio station
1:07
Speaker 3: I owned to Memphis, and we're a massive political news
1:11
Speaker 3: radio station. Everybody wants to come on the show, everybody
1:14
Speaker 3: wants to talk politics, and so we thought, you know what,
1:16
Speaker 3: let's let's hold a debate between the four Republican congressional
1:21
Speaker 3: candidates that are running in this big ninth congressional district race.
1:26
Speaker 3: And I know, Dylan, I thought, you know what, what
1:28
Speaker 3: a lovely night we were going to We had snacks.
1:32
Speaker 3: You know, the lovely miss Cheryl or advertising goddess. She
1:36
Speaker 3: went out and she got the high fallute. It was
1:38
Speaker 3: like fresh market. Those are high high fallut and snacks.
1:41
Speaker 3: It was tasty and had like all sorts of delicious beverages.
1:46
Speaker 3: We had the cocake, we had the Coca cola, we
1:49
Speaker 3: had the Diet coke. We even had Doctor Pepper and
1:52
Speaker 3: bobble water too. I mean, we went we went above
1:56
Speaker 3: and beyond last night, And I thought, what a who
1:59
Speaker 3: would have thought, you know, just a lovely evening with
2:02
Speaker 3: four Republicans all like minded, just you know, I don't know,
2:07
Speaker 3: sharing recipes or whatnot. Yeah, that did not happen. All
2:12
Speaker 3: hell broke loose in this debate. It was the It
2:14
Speaker 3: was the craziest thing, Dylan. You were across the you
2:17
Speaker 3: are across the glass. I was stuck here in the
2:20
Speaker 3: middle of all of it, and it was insane.
2:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, that room was a little uh, it was a
2:25
Speaker 4: little tight, you know, so the people in there.
2:28
Speaker 3: Well, what it gets heated, It does get heated in
2:31
Speaker 3: more ways than one. But there were all sorts of
2:34
Speaker 3: accusations flying last night, and what made it really interesting
2:39
Speaker 3: is that just like an hour before the debate, President
2:42
Speaker 3: Trump calle made the announcement that he was endorsing State
2:47
Speaker 3: Senator Brent Taylor to be his pick for the ninth
2:51
Speaker 3: congressional race. This is the one that used to be
2:53
Speaker 3: occupied by Steve Cohen, the guy who ate the bucket
2:56
Speaker 3: a chicken up on Capitol Hill. So it's they've been
3:00
Speaker 3: redistricted and this is going to be a pick up
3:03
Speaker 3: for the Republicans in Congress. So this is a very
3:06
Speaker 3: important seat for the Republicans in Tennessee. And Senator Taylor
3:11
Speaker 3: is the odds on favorite to win in a head
3:15
Speaker 3: to head against Brent Justin Pearson. Who is this AOC?
3:19
Speaker 3: You want to be? Here's how crazy it is. A
3:21
Speaker 3: Memphis the squad AOC, Ayanna Presley, and Summer Lee are
3:25
Speaker 3: all coming to Memphis to campaign for the Democrat who
3:30
Speaker 3: is a radical progressive. That's how crazy this is. So anyway,
3:35
Speaker 3: I'm curious, Dyllan, what your takeaway because it was nasty.
3:39
Speaker 3: I mean some of the there was one candidate who
3:41
Speaker 3: refused to shake hands.
3:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just like, wait, what I did not think
3:49
Speaker 4: that that would happen, not once, but.
3:51
Speaker 3: You're right, but twice and then I yours truly, your
3:54
Speaker 3: lovable curmudgeon of a talk radio host, I was ambushed
3:59
Speaker 3: in my own building.
4:01
Speaker 4: This is true. Yeah, we all saw that and heard it.
4:05
Speaker 3: And apparently the guy put it all on video. I
4:07
Speaker 3: don't know if he did or not, but he was
4:09
Speaker 3: just like they were demanding that they film everything, and
4:12
Speaker 3: I'm like, this is a private this is private property. Pal,
4:15
Speaker 3: you can't do that here.
4:16
Speaker 4: It was crazy.
4:17
Speaker 3: I'm a member of the media. Great, let me see
4:19
Speaker 3: your credentials. I don't have them with me. They're in
4:22
Speaker 3: my car. Great cokeet them?
4:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, you put it to him.
4:28
Speaker 3: I couldn't remembered. Did I say anything inappropriate? You know,
4:30
Speaker 3: I'll hear about it in church on Sunday.
4:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, you'll hear all about it.
4:34
Speaker 3: Was I was in a very foul mood. All of
4:37
Speaker 3: this is happening in the lead up to the debate,
4:39
Speaker 3: by the way, and I'm like, oh my god. I
4:41
Speaker 3: felt like it was in a room I mean, no
4:43
Speaker 3: offense here. I felt like it was in a room
4:45
Speaker 3: full of democrats. I mean, what is going on here?
4:50
Speaker 3: Oh my word? Trying to be nice and friendly, do
4:54
Speaker 3: something for the community and it comes back and not
4:57
Speaker 3: only bite you in the beehid, but right up the
4:59
Speaker 3: free kwazu.
5:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, not a great start. You don't want to get
5:05
Speaker 4: Todd stars riled up for it to be.
5:08
Speaker 3: I was right, exactly, but I was fair and balanced everybody.
5:12
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, Judge Joe Brown was here,
5:16
Speaker 3: like the famous judge Joe Brown was here last night.
5:19
Speaker 3: He said it was the best debate he's seen in
5:21
Speaker 3: at least ten years.
5:22
Speaker 4: That's high praise.
5:23
Speaker 3: That's good because here's how all the debates have been
5:26
Speaker 3: going on. And you guys know this. It's all the
5:31
Speaker 3: candidates up on the stage and then you've got somebody
5:34
Speaker 3: asking pre prepared questions. All right, candidate number one, if
5:40
Speaker 3: you were elected to Congress, what would you do? You
5:45
Speaker 3: have three minutes and it's like, just someone shoot me.
5:50
Speaker 3: Now we've all been there. But last night it was
5:54
Speaker 3: just like we announced that Trump had endorsed one of
5:57
Speaker 3: the candidates called Senator Taylor a rhino. And my first
6:00
Speaker 3: question was, Senator, that guy just called you a rhino.
6:03
Speaker 3: What do you say to that? It's and it was
6:06
Speaker 3: on like Donkey Kong. Poor Ian was hiding under the table.
6:10
Speaker 3: He didn't know what was he's a good Presbyterian for
6:12
Speaker 3: God's sakes.
6:15
Speaker 4: Those are the best kind of debates. I mean, someone
6:18
Speaker 4: that hasn't seen a lot of debates live, I mean
6:20
Speaker 4: that was something to see.
6:21
Speaker 3: People were I was getting messages from all across like Tennessee.
6:26
Speaker 3: People were literally glued. They were like gripping their radios
6:29
Speaker 3: and their their laptops that they were listening online. People
6:32
Speaker 3: were going bonkers over this thing. So then something happened,
6:36
Speaker 3: and I do want to talk about this very briefly
6:39
Speaker 3: because there are some There was an accusation made. We
6:43
Speaker 3: invited people to call in, and a lady called in
6:46
Speaker 3: and wanted to ask a question about the slush funds
6:51
Speaker 3: for the sexual offenders up on Campitol Hill. And we've
6:54
Speaker 3: been pretty outspoken about that on the show. But I
6:58
Speaker 3: want you to listen to this because this has made
7:00
Speaker 3: national news now, and this is why I wanted to
7:02
Speaker 3: start off with this whole conversation. This bit of it
7:05
Speaker 3: has made national news, and just to illustrate how nasty
7:10
Speaker 3: last night was and the dirty politics is being played
7:13
Speaker 3: among Republicans, Let's take a listen to this caller named Marie. Marie,
7:19
Speaker 3: you're on the air, what's your question.
7:23
Speaker 5: Hi, this is a issue that is very near and
7:26
Speaker 5: dear to me, and I the reason why I ask it.
7:29
Speaker 5: So I'll ask the question first and then i'll gust
7:31
Speaker 5: and background is the plush funds for Congress when someone
7:37
Speaker 5: sexually harassed with someone I have a good friend who
7:39
Speaker 5: was actually has been a victim of sexual assault by
7:43
Speaker 5: the senator on a conference in Oklahoma. And so how
7:48
Speaker 5: do we have confidence in someone that we're sending to
7:50
Speaker 5: Congress that has been on a legislative conference paid for,
7:55
Speaker 5: you know, by taxpayer dollars and it's sexually harassed or
7:58
Speaker 5: assaulted a woman. And so are our taxpayer dollars going
8:03
Speaker 5: to fund a man who has already taken.
8:07
Speaker 3: Advantageable Well, Marie, let me I'm not sure what you're
8:10
Speaker 3: talking about. I'm not sure what you're talking about here.
8:13
Speaker 5: I'm not at liberty to say the person's name, the
8:16
Speaker 5: victim's name, or anything.
8:17
Speaker 6: Say we need a protective as well.
8:19
Speaker 3: Well, just let me say this, Marie. All right, Yeah, Marie,
8:21
Speaker 3: I think I got the gist of your question here.
8:23
Speaker 3: And this is something we've talked a lot about, guys,
8:25
Speaker 3: Thank you. We've talked a lot about this on the
8:27
Speaker 3: national radio show that Congress, which they have certainly done
8:31
Speaker 3: away with that slush fund for all the victims of
8:34
Speaker 3: these alleged sex crimes and whatever was going on up
8:37
Speaker 3: on Capitol Hill. But the issue is should we be
8:40
Speaker 3: holding these people accountable? Should the lawmakers? Should those names
8:45
Speaker 3: of those who committed those offenses be made public?
8:48
Speaker 7: Yeah, there should be no exemptions for a United States
8:50
Speaker 7: congressman or anybody else for that matter. If you commit
8:52
Speaker 7: a crime, a heinous crime that's sexually oriented, especially rape
8:57
Speaker 7: or sexual assault, you should be charged, prosecuted, and convicted
9:01
Speaker 7: to the fullest extent of the law.
9:02
Speaker 3: There should be no exception.
9:03
Speaker 8: Everybody agree with that. Yeah, absolutely, And the slush fund
9:07
Speaker 8: needs to go away. And I don't know who she
9:10
Speaker 8: was referring to here, but there need to be some
9:13
Speaker 8: discussion about that, or.
9:14
Speaker 3: I think it was in general terms.
9:16
Speaker 9: I have no earthly idea, but I agree as a
9:18
Speaker 9: matter of fact, there shouldn't even be whether or not
9:22
Speaker 9: a crime is being committed. If it was just a
9:25
Speaker 9: sexual harassment where there was actually.
9:28
Speaker 4: A civil.
9:31
Speaker 9: A civil settlement, that should not be done with tax
9:34
Speaker 9: dollars either. And if it is, it certainly should be
9:37
Speaker 9: made available to the public and.
9:38
Speaker 8: There's been a sexual harassment, should that person have to
9:41
Speaker 8: step down?
9:42
Speaker 9: Senator if there's been a sexual harassment or a sexual assault, absolutely,
9:47
Speaker 9: they certainly should not be receiving any taxpayer funds to
9:52
Speaker 9: pay or subtle a lawsuit.
9:53
Speaker 7: Their expulsion criteria in the House, in the Senate. And
9:56
Speaker 7: it appears that we have nobody with the backbone standing
9:59
Speaker 7: the gap and and and help people accountable. That will
10:02
Speaker 7: change if I go to Congress. I'm just like, good
10:04
Speaker 7: to you, all right.
10:05
Speaker 3: So that was the snippet. And now, of course it's
10:08
Speaker 3: major national news, and here's the reason why. And I'm
10:11
Speaker 3: just going to tell you we got a big problem
10:14
Speaker 3: with politics in this country. But what you what you
10:17
Speaker 3: just heard there, folks. Uh, it's it's been in the
10:20
Speaker 3: national news. It's called explosive diarrhea. That's that's what that's
10:26
Speaker 3: what that is all is all about. It is nothing
10:29
Speaker 3: more than political fecal matter. And I want to explain
10:32
Speaker 3: what I'm talking about. So the headline in Media Eye,
10:36
Speaker 3: which is one of the national publications, and now everybody's
10:39
Speaker 3: picking up on this, they're alleging that Senator Taylor was
10:42
Speaker 3: the person this woman was talking about. First of all,
10:45
Speaker 3: she did not mention the senator's name, she did not
10:48
Speaker 3: allege anything against the senator, and if she wanted to
10:53
Speaker 3: do that, this individual needed to need to go through
10:57
Speaker 3: the proper authorities and not a talk radio and certainly
11:00
Speaker 3: not a debate. So my position on this has been
11:05
Speaker 3: very clear. If you have been the victim of a crime,
11:09
Speaker 3: you should report that to authorities. That's pretty much how
11:13
Speaker 3: I believe and that has not changed one iota. But
11:18
Speaker 3: we did a little bit of background on this caller,
11:21
Speaker 3: and of course all of this unfolded, it was just
11:23
Speaker 3: a weird call. It was unusual. We did take several
11:25
Speaker 3: calls from a folks who wanted to question the candidates,
11:28
Speaker 3: and I didn't think much of it. This morning, though
11:31
Speaker 3: it's exploded and gone national. Someone actually reached out and
11:35
Speaker 3: leaked all of this and really wasn't a leak because
11:38
Speaker 3: it was all public, but sent it to the politicos
11:42
Speaker 3: in Washington, d C. So it appears to me that
11:45
Speaker 3: this is nothing more than an ugly setup and the
11:48
Speaker 3: headline they're wanting is a Trump endorsed candidate accused of
11:52
Speaker 3: blah blah blah. Well, Senator Taylor hasn't been accused of anything.
11:56
Speaker 3: He is a good and decent man, been married many
11:58
Speaker 3: many years as a wife, two kids. Now the person
12:05
Speaker 3: who called in, we have been able to determine that
12:09
Speaker 3: this individual has direct ties to one of the other
12:12
Speaker 3: candidates in the race that was in this room, in
12:15
Speaker 3: this studio last night, and that to me smells of
12:19
Speaker 3: a setup and dirty politics. And I'm sorry, but if
12:23
Speaker 3: you're playing that kind of politics, you're nothing more than
12:25
Speaker 3: a sorry bastard. Shame on you. I don't care if
12:29
Speaker 3: you're a Republican or Democrat. You're going to go out
12:32
Speaker 3: there and you're going to try to smear a man's
12:34
Speaker 3: name like that. That's BS Dylan. You better get your
12:38
Speaker 3: finger on that button because we may have to delete
12:40
Speaker 3: a couple of things here. That's a load of crap,
12:43
Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen, an absolute load of crap. And this
12:48
Speaker 3: is the problem with our politics. You know, they pull
12:50
Speaker 3: this stuff with Donald J. Trump, and I didn't like
12:54
Speaker 3: it then, I don't like it when they go out
12:55
Speaker 3: and try to do it on the local or the
12:57
Speaker 3: state level either. It's disgusting. And by the way, if
13:01
Speaker 3: you aren't going to make an accusation like that, why
13:04
Speaker 3: don't you be a man. Why don't you be a man.
13:09
Speaker 3: I mean, you're sitting in the same room, say what
13:11
Speaker 3: you're going to say. Let the other man defend himself
13:13
Speaker 3: for crying out loud, and that's what a man would do. Unbelievable.
13:19
Speaker 3: So look, it's national news and it is what it is.
13:25
Speaker 3: The fact of the matter is. And we did reach
13:26
Speaker 3: out to the senator and I believe he's going to
13:28
Speaker 3: be on the show a little bit later on and
13:30
Speaker 3: we'll ask him directly about this. But he said that
13:34
Speaker 3: he has never been to a legislative conference in Oklahoma
13:37
Speaker 3: paid for by taxpayers. He's been to two conferences as
13:41
Speaker 3: a senator, and his wife went with him both times.
13:46
Speaker 3: So again, it's if you're going to call in and
13:50
Speaker 3: do something like that, you at least need to be
13:53
Speaker 3: come armed with your facts. Say hey, we filed a
13:55
Speaker 3: police report. Here is the incident report, here's all of
13:58
Speaker 3: the documentation. But this stinks to dirty politics. And let
14:03
Speaker 3: me just say something, Republicans, this kind of crap is
14:06
Speaker 3: going to cost you elections, So you guys need to
14:10
Speaker 3: knock it off. Unbelievable, but shame on people who play
14:15
Speaker 3: dirty politics. And I get it, you know, I'm not. Look,
14:19
Speaker 3: we're all grown ups here, and I know politics is
14:21
Speaker 3: not church, but this is evil sleeze. That's what this is.
14:26
Speaker 3: Evil sleees. Explosive diarrhea of the worst kind. Nine oh
14:32
Speaker 3: one two six zero five nine two six is our
14:34
Speaker 3: telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero five
14:38

14:41
Speaker 7: Somebody has to help this country, and if they don't,
14:44
Speaker 7: the country and the world are in big trouble.
14:46
Speaker 10: One of the most polarizing political figures in American history

Speaker 10: gets a full scale defense. The America two fifty film
14:53
Speaker 10: series presents Vindicating Trump. Go inside the battles, accusations, medius

15:04
Speaker 10: It's Vindicating Trump this weekend Saturday and Sunday at seven
15:08
Speaker 10: pm Eastern on Salem News Channel.
15:23
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back to the Todd Sterns Radio Show
15:26
Speaker 3: to have you with us. No sorry, I just had
15:29
Speaker 3: to get that off my chest, ladies and gentlemen, because look,
15:31
Speaker 3: I know politics is ugly, but what's been going on
15:35
Speaker 3: in the Republican parties since really twenty sixteen. We have
15:39
Speaker 3: got to get a handle on this and the idea
15:43
Speaker 3: that we're going to just try and destroy people. You know,
15:46
Speaker 3: they did that with Brett Kavanaugh. It's unbelievable. And now
15:51
Speaker 3: Republican you know, the Democrats did that to Brett Kavanaugh,
15:54
Speaker 3: and now you're telling me the Republicans are doing that
15:57
Speaker 3: to each other. That's just outright. Nine one two six
16:02
Speaker 3: zero five nine two six is are a telephone number.
16:04
Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
16:10
Speaker 3: So we have got a lot of ground to cover
16:12
Speaker 3: President Trump, and this is going to happen Thursday night
16:17
Speaker 3: addressing the nation and the President. We don't we're getting
16:23
Speaker 3: drips and drabs here, but there is there is some
16:26
Speaker 3: inclination that the President is going to talk about direct
16:31
Speaker 3: evidence that they now have that the twenty twenty election
16:36
Speaker 3: was fixed. Apparently they have somehow got the evidence, and
16:41
Speaker 3: the President purportedly is going to be sharing all of
16:45
Speaker 3: that information Thursday during this primetime address to the nation.
16:50
Speaker 3: The other involves the state of Georgia, where the rumblings are.
16:54
Speaker 3: The President has proof that the two Senate races there
16:58
Speaker 3: in Georgia were fixed, that the fix was in, that
17:05
Speaker 3: those are illegitimate elections. Now the question is, what can
17:08
Speaker 3: the president do with anything about that. Okay, fine, we've
17:12
Speaker 3: got the evidence here, So what is what is the recourse? Now,
17:16
Speaker 3: keep in mind one of those quite frankly, and both
17:18
Speaker 3: races were very close. If I think you've got Warnock
17:22
Speaker 3: and John Osoff, and my understanding is both of those
17:25
Speaker 3: races were very very close. Now, one of them, you
17:31
Speaker 3: had the Trump folks saying Trump crowd saying stay home
17:34
Speaker 3: because there's no way to guarantee that your vote's going
17:37
Speaker 3: to count. So a lot of Republicans just stayed home.
17:39
Speaker 3: You can't do that, ladies and gentlemen. But regardless, President
17:43
Speaker 3: Trump saying that they've got evidence that there was fraud
17:49
Speaker 3: in the twenty twenty presidential election and those Senate races
17:53
Speaker 3: in the state of Georgia. I know John Osoff coming out,
17:58
Speaker 3: and I think I've got time to share this before
18:00
Speaker 3: we're going to break. Osoff is really enraged over all
18:04
Speaker 3: of this, and here's what he had to say. We'll
18:08
Speaker 3: try to get this, accusing the president of being obsessed.
18:12
Speaker 3: Donald Trump's spiral continues. The failed president pocketed billions as
18:17
Speaker 3: he drives up prices, is afraid to lose the midterms,
18:20
Speaker 3: so he will reheat debunked election conspiracy theories until bizarre
18:25
Speaker 3: new lies to deny his twenty twenty defeat and attack
18:29
Speaker 3: voting rights. He also said it would be a disaster
18:33
Speaker 3: for Mike Collins, who will be forced to double down
18:36
Speaker 3: on conspiracies that have not been well accepted in general elections.
18:40
Speaker 3: I'm just going to ask the good people of Georgia.
18:42
Speaker 3: Are you have you guys moved on it is now
18:45
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six, or do you believe that the president
18:48
Speaker 3: needs to get to the bottom of this. I'm just curious,
18:51
Speaker 3: have you moved on or do we really need to
18:54
Speaker 3: go back and address all of this? Nine oh one
18:56
Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six in our telephone number.
19:00
Speaker 3: This is the Tod Sterns Show. All right, welcome back, everybody.
19:17
Speaker 3: This is the Tod Stearns Radio Show. Let's go to
19:20
Speaker 3: the phone lines. Anna and Georgia listening to us on
19:23
Speaker 3: w d U N Hi. Anna, what's on your mind today?
19:29
Speaker 11: He does. As far as voting Shenanigan, I really think
19:36
Speaker 11: if they have proved that they should address it, haven't
19:40
Speaker 11: said that this might just be an opportunity for some
19:45
Speaker 11: people to start some trouble in the midterm elections. But
19:50
Speaker 11: I think most people realize that the thing's hit you
19:53
Speaker 11: hard because you're such a principled man, and so was
19:59
Speaker 11: Lindsey Gray him that I've never seen it out pouring
20:02
Speaker 11: of love like they have for for the for since Graham.
20:07
Speaker 11: But I'll tell you, Uh, it's disturbing with uh the
20:14
Speaker 11: great Reverend Warnoff and mister off Off is uh. You know,
20:20
Speaker 11: he's a good guy. He's a Democrat, but he's a
20:22
Speaker 11: good guy.
20:24
Speaker 12: Uh.
20:24
Speaker 13: But uh, I don't know.
20:26
Speaker 11: I don't know what to make of it. I don't
20:28
Speaker 11: know why they're stirring the pot like this, but it's
20:31
Speaker 11: going to get the probably most likely will get the
20:34
Speaker 11: attention as the president. But I don't know what he
20:36
Speaker 11: can do, you know as a federal uh as you know,
20:42
Speaker 11: he is a federal employee. So you know, I'm hoping
20:46
Speaker 11: that we get to the bottom of this what's going on,
20:51
Speaker 11: because it's going to affect the elections in the future
20:55
Speaker 11: of moving on. It's probably not a good idea unless
21:00
Speaker 11: it is proven that it was just a mess, it
21:02
Speaker 11: was just somebody trying to start trouble.
21:05
Speaker 3: So my point is we are six years removed from
21:09
Speaker 3: twenty twenty and look, I mean, if there's evidence. They've
21:13
Speaker 3: got its, irrefutable evidence, concrete evidence. Let's get it out
21:16
Speaker 3: there and figure out is there any recourse. I don't
21:19
Speaker 3: think you can go back in the time machine and
21:22
Speaker 3: undo all of the votes these two men have cast.
21:26
Speaker 3: I would I would say that Raphael Warnock, based on
21:29
Speaker 3: everything I've heard from that man, is not a good man.
21:33
Speaker 3: He is quite frankly, a very dangerous man. But again
21:38
Speaker 3: it's we have got to see the evidence. And at
21:40
Speaker 3: some point, you know, just like all of these hearings
21:44
Speaker 3: back in twenty gosh, back in twenty fifteen and sixteen
21:48
Speaker 3: and seventeen eighteen with the Republicans, and they were promising
21:51
Speaker 3: that we were going to have mass arrest, that Barak
21:54
Speaker 3: Hussein Obama, the entire administration was responsible for Russia, Russia,
21:58
Speaker 3: Russia and all of that. Nobody's gone to jail for
22:01
Speaker 3: any of that, And at some point you have to say, Okay,
22:04
Speaker 3: it's time to either poop or get off the pot.
22:08
Speaker 3: And my apologies were being crafts there, but I think
22:11
Speaker 3: you get the point.
22:13
Speaker 11: It's true, it's true they're just trying to start the stuff.
22:18
Speaker 11: But having said that, like you just explained, you know,
22:25
Speaker 11: it's such a mess and it's so disturbing, and why
22:28
Speaker 11: are we going back to twenty twenty when we've had
22:31
Speaker 11: a mess with It's.
22:33
Speaker 13: You know, Biden and.
22:37
Speaker 11: Obama and I mean, somebody needs to so many needs
22:41
Speaker 11: and Hillary. They're doing all of these people things and
22:45
Speaker 11: they're not paying for them at all. And I'm not
22:50
Speaker 11: a happy person because of this. I don't as far
22:53
Speaker 11: as politics is concerned, I don't trust a whole lot
22:56
Speaker 11: of people, either in the Republican or definitely the Democrat Party.
23:03
Speaker 11: But it's very sad, and these people should have paid
23:07
Speaker 11: restitutions for the terrible things they did, but they have
23:11
Speaker 11: it and they continue and that's the problem. It's continuing
23:15
Speaker 11: and this is going to stop.
23:17
Speaker 3: And thank you for that call, and thank you for
23:20
Speaker 3: listening to a wtun. There is a there is a
23:24
Speaker 3: process in place in the Senate. So if in fact
23:28
Speaker 3: there was fraud, and this fraud can be proven, it
23:31
Speaker 3: would take a two thirds majority of the Senate to
23:36
Speaker 3: remove those senators. So if if in fact there was
23:40
Speaker 3: fraud and it's proven, it would require two thirds of
23:43
Speaker 3: the Senate to remove Osof And also warnock they don't
23:48
Speaker 3: have the numbers, that they do not have the numbers
23:50
Speaker 3: and the Democrats will not do the right thing. So
23:54
Speaker 3: there you go. That's that's where we're at with that
23:58
Speaker 3: nine oh one two six years row five nine two
24:01
Speaker 3: six hour telephone over. That's nine oh one two six
24:03
Speaker 3: zero five nine two six. So this item justin. So
24:07
Speaker 3: yesterday during the show, there was a report out of
24:09
Speaker 3: Maine that a guy, an illegal, was shot and killed
24:16
Speaker 3: by ICE agents just about fifteen miles south of Portland, Maine.
24:21
Speaker 3: And the guy had used his vehicle as a weapon
24:26
Speaker 3: and he tried to run over ICE agents, so they
24:29
Speaker 3: opened fire and the bullets went right through the front windshield.
24:32
Speaker 3: So there's no there's no denying what this guy was
24:36
Speaker 3: trying to do. Well, now this is I believe the
24:41
Speaker 3: there was another shooting in Houston, then you had the
24:43
Speaker 3: two in Minnesota. So now Immigration and Customer Enforcement, Homeland
24:48
Speaker 3: Security now coming out and they are saying they are
24:52
Speaker 3: going to suspend these vehicles stops nationwide. This is not
25:00
Speaker 3: unexpected because of Secretary Mark Waynebullin and sometimes this guy
25:07
Speaker 3: gets a little wishy washing. Reuters now reporting that ICE
25:12
Speaker 3: is suspending most vehicle stops, citing two sources on the matter.
25:16
Speaker 3: Maine Senator Susan Collins said she urged the DHS secretary
25:20
Speaker 3: to cease non urgent stops after the main shooting race.
25:24
Speaker 3: Critical questions, Well, the critical question to me is why
25:28
Speaker 3: are illegals using their cars to try to run over
25:30
Speaker 3: ICE agents? That to me seems to be the more
25:33
Speaker 3: pressing issue here, ladies and gentlemen. According to Reuter's, ICE
25:40
Speaker 3: agents have been instructed to immediately suspend most stops nationwide.
25:46
Speaker 3: ICE declined to comment on the reported tactical change. They
25:50
Speaker 3: said they were always reevaluating their procedures to keep officers
25:54
Speaker 3: safe and criminals off the street. Know what they're doing
25:56
Speaker 3: here is they're concerned about the pr That's that's what
26:04
Speaker 3: that's what this is all about. And again, if somebody's illegal,
26:09
Speaker 3: they need to go. You know, we asked this question
26:11
Speaker 3: last night of the candidates here all right, where do
26:15
Speaker 3: you stand on illegal immigration? Do you believe that all
26:18
Speaker 3: of them ought to go? Or do only some of
26:20
Speaker 3: them need to go? And it seems as though Homeland
26:22
Speaker 3: Security is saying, well, you know, at least right now,
26:25
Speaker 3: only the only some of them need to go, The
26:27
Speaker 3: worst of the worst need to go, but everybody else
26:30
Speaker 3: can stay. That's that's their position on that. Here's Congressman
26:36
Speaker 3: Ralph Norman out of South Carolina was asked about all
26:41
Speaker 3: of this cut number seven. Please, taking your.
26:46
Speaker 2: Reaction to the shooting in Maine today. I heard about that.
26:50
Speaker 3: You'd heard about that.
26:51
Speaker 2: Now there was a les some of them are shot
26:53
Speaker 2: by I says in earlier today, I had heard of that.
26:57
Speaker 2: I don't know the details on it.
26:59
Speaker 9: As the body count for ICE continues to rise, do
27:02
Speaker 9: you regret voting to fund them without any sort of
27:06
Speaker 9: accountability measures.
27:07
Speaker 4: Or any writers to make sure that they behave in
27:09
Speaker 4: good faith?
27:11
Speaker 7: Ice agents are here to protect this country, to get
27:14
Speaker 7: the illegalsiled.
27:15
Speaker 2: They need to be funded. But they're but they're shooting
27:17
Speaker 2: people down, uh, in their cars on American streets.
27:21
Speaker 7: Uh.
27:22
Speaker 14: The ICE agents are doing a job for the American people.
27:24
Speaker 8: They need to be funded.
27:25
Speaker 14: That's your opinions.
27:31
Speaker 3: Who is this morod? No, not the congress. When the
27:34
Speaker 3: guy asking the question, who is who is this moron?
27:37
Speaker 3: What is his name is? Pablo? Pablo Well, Senator, Congressman,
27:44
Speaker 3: they're going around and they're shooting, They're just randomly shooting
27:49
Speaker 3: illegals in their cars. What do you say about that? Well?
27:54
Speaker 3: First of all, it's not your opinion, it's all. It's
27:57
Speaker 3: it's wrong you were in. As a matter of fact,
28:01
Speaker 3: we actually have eyewitness video from someone who actually saw
28:06
Speaker 3: what happened to me, and let's play that.
28:09
Speaker 15: I would say seven fifteen, I was driving through the
28:12
Speaker 15: intersection at Hill Street and pool Pool Street, and as
28:17
Speaker 15: I was approaching, you could see flashing blue lights and
28:20
Speaker 15: then as I got closer, they were unmarked, so I
28:22
Speaker 15: assumed they were Ice. And then you could see them
28:24
Speaker 15: with their green vests and stuff and it said police Ice.
28:29
Speaker 15: And so as I actually was going through the intersection,
28:34
Speaker 15: I heard yelling. So I know I'm supposed to be
28:37
Speaker 15: paying attention, but I heard yelling off to my so
28:39
Speaker 15: I looked and I was watching, and the ICE agent
28:44
Speaker 15: was yelling and drew his weapon and he kept yelling
28:47
Speaker 15: and yelling and warning the person driving, which is when
28:51
Speaker 15: the car was put in the drive and was trying
28:54
Speaker 15: to hit the Ice officer and he fired I would say,
28:57
Speaker 15: probably four shawts at him. And by that time I
29:02
Speaker 15: was also through, you know, the intersection, so I just
29:04
Speaker 15: heard the popping, but I did see him draw his
29:06
Speaker 15: gun at the windshield and then they so then that
29:13
Speaker 15: the car you could see the car and the like
29:15
Speaker 15: rolling down the street afterwards.
29:19
Speaker 3: All right, oh, there you go. That's it. Let's go
29:23
Speaker 3: to the phones Rett in Atlanta. Rhtt what's on your mind?
29:29
Speaker 12: Well, it just seems like they probably need to train
29:33
Speaker 12: the ICE agents not to get in front of the cars.
29:36
Speaker 12: Even if they can shoot the tires or the radiators,
29:39
Speaker 12: that might be better than shooting the people.
29:43
Speaker 3: So help me understand this though. Are you do you
29:45
Speaker 3: have a law enforcement background by any chance?
29:49
Speaker 6: No?
29:50
Speaker 3: Okay, so you don't have a law enforcementackground. So let's
29:52
Speaker 3: just say so you're saying that the ICE agents they
29:54
Speaker 3: should be trained instead of shooting at the driver, they
29:58
Speaker 3: should be shooting at what the radiator or the tires.
30:02
Speaker 12: Well, first, they shouldn't be getting in front of the cars.
30:06
Speaker 12: In second, they can shoot out, they can disable the
30:08
Speaker 12: car first, so you have to go shoot the person.
30:13
Speaker 3: So what would you what would you say that somebody
30:15
Speaker 3: is trying to run you down? By the way, these
30:17
Speaker 3: officers are are trying to make legitimate stops here and
30:21
Speaker 3: somebody points their car at you. You don't believe the
30:25
Speaker 3: officer should have a right to defend himself.
30:30
Speaker 12: Well they should. They should act defensively and not get
30:33
Speaker 12: in front of the cars.
30:34
Speaker 3: Well, that's what they're doing by shooting the driver.
30:40
Speaker 12: Well, it just seems like you could do something else besides, uh,
30:45
Speaker 12: shooting the person first. I mean, you can disable the
30:48
Speaker 12: car first.
30:50
Speaker 3: Well, again, again that's not that is not police procedure
30:54
Speaker 3: here in this particular case. And and I've heard this
30:57
Speaker 3: argument from the left that that the comps should just
31:01
Speaker 3: be shooting out the tires. That does not that that
31:04
Speaker 3: will not actually stop the car from running over an
31:08
Speaker 3: Ice agent. And a lot of these cases, and again
31:10
Speaker 3: we haven't seen, we haven't seen the details yet of
31:14
Speaker 3: what transpired and what led to this. But in the
31:17
Speaker 3: previous cases where we have seen video, it's very clear
31:20
Speaker 3: these officers are trying to get somebody out of the car.
31:22
Speaker 3: They're backing the drivers, backing up, trying to endanger the
31:27
Speaker 3: lives of these Ice agents. And I'm fairly certain shooting
31:30
Speaker 3: out a radiator is not going to is not going
31:33
Speaker 3: to stop the is not going to stop the bad guy.
31:38
Speaker 12: Well, it just seems like there should be something you
31:42
Speaker 12: can do to use the situation before you have to
31:46
Speaker 12: shoot somebody.
31:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they yeah, I mean they're saying get
31:50
Speaker 3: out of the car. Get out of the car. And
31:53
Speaker 3: if you don't follow the instructions here, I mean, at
31:56
Speaker 3: what point do you say you know you're you're saying
32:00
Speaker 3: here that the officers are to blame.
32:04
Speaker 12: No, I'm saying they should be defensive and not give
32:08
Speaker 12: in front of car.
32:08
Speaker 3: All Right, we'll see what We'll see what our our
32:12
Speaker 3: audience has to say about that. I appreciate the call
32:15
Speaker 3: red from Atlanta says cops need to be trained not
32:18
Speaker 3: to get in front of moving cars and if in
32:20
Speaker 3: fact they do, they should be shooting out the radiator
32:23
Speaker 3: and the tires. Curious to hear your thoughts on this one,
32:27
Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen. Nine oh one two six zero five
32:30
Speaker 3: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero
32:33
Speaker 3: five nine two six. I will say this, and we
32:36
Speaker 3: should probably get our gun expert on to explain that
32:39
Speaker 3: the way you see cops shooting out tires on TV
32:43
Speaker 3: in a movie is not the way it actually works
32:46
Speaker 3: in real life. So I'm just saying, got to take
32:49
Speaker 3: a break. We'll be right back. All right, Let's get
32:57
Speaker 3: right to the phones here. We will start with Johnny
33:01
Speaker 3: and Memphis, Tennessee on k w A m All right, Johnny,
33:06
Speaker 3: what's on your mind?
33:08
Speaker 16: Uh?
33:08
Speaker 17: Todd, I'm surprised that you didn't put me on the
33:11
Speaker 17: favorite of your call list when they you know, when
33:14
Speaker 17: you was talking about them TV the eight phone calls
33:16
Speaker 17: because uh, A'm started like a celebrity to your station.
33:21
Speaker 3: Johnny, I don't know what you're talking about. You were
33:23
Speaker 3: calling in to talk about the ice patrols. What's on
33:25
Speaker 3: your mind?
33:27
Speaker 18: Am?
33:27
Speaker 17: I'm getting there? Do you know police procedure?
33:31
Speaker 3: Well, I do know police procedure, and their procedure is
33:34
Speaker 3: not to disable a car, it's to stop it deadly threat.
33:38
Speaker 17: And the police procedure is to know who you going
33:42
Speaker 17: after before you go at them too. The two people
33:45
Speaker 17: that they shot in Maine and California were not their intentions. Now,
33:49
Speaker 17: when a gunshot goes through your winshield, what position would
33:53
Speaker 17: you be standing in time? Let me ask you. I mean,
33:55
Speaker 17: I know it's a bad time to be a reflect
33:57
Speaker 17: because most of y'all are incompetent anyway, But you what.
34:00
Speaker 3: Do you mean? We're incompetent. We're winning elections all over
34:03
Speaker 3: the country right now, Johnny. As a matter of fact,
34:05
Speaker 3: Republicans control the House and the Senate and the presidency
34:08
Speaker 3: and the entire state of Tennessee.
34:13
Speaker 17: He lined, And you keep crying about it, and you
34:16
Speaker 17: keep whining about it.
34:17
Speaker 3: I'm not crying. Am I crying?
34:19
Speaker 2: Here?
34:20
Speaker 3: They're only liberal tears, is what I is what I
34:22
Speaker 3: see across the nation, Johnny, liberal tears. But I'm gonna
34:25
Speaker 3: answer your question. The reason why there were bullet holes
34:29
Speaker 3: in the windshield is because the driver was trying to
34:32
Speaker 3: run over a police officer. And if you don't want
34:35
Speaker 3: to get shot, my recommendation, Johnny, is, don't run over
34:39
Speaker 3: a police officer.
34:41
Speaker 17: And if you don't want to shoot someone, don't stand
34:44
Speaker 17: in front of the car either. Just like the guys said,
34:46
Speaker 17: they were standing in front of the car, and they think.
34:49
Speaker 3: That they told him to get out of the car.
34:51
Speaker 3: When a police officer gives you a lawful order, you
34:55
Speaker 3: must comply. And that person did not comply. Johnny, good
34:59
Speaker 3: try all right, give us a holler back. Let's go
35:02
Speaker 3: to Bear in Texas listening to us on Patriot Talk
35:06
Speaker 3: nine to twenty. All right, Bear, what say you.
35:09
Speaker 19: And mister Stearns so on the uh the stopping the.
35:16
Speaker 14: Car stops?
35:17
Speaker 19: Why would you reward bad behavior? I mean, if they're
35:21
Speaker 19: trying to run over ice officers. It's the consequences are
35:25
Speaker 19: you get shot. After a while, they'll quit doing it.
35:29
Speaker 19: You'll see the consequence, you know, cause and effect. So
35:32
Speaker 19: I'm thinking the ice officers should continue the stops because
35:36
Speaker 19: all the illegals are anyone that is here illegally.
35:39
Speaker 13: They need to go come back to the right way.
35:42
Speaker 20: That's my point.
35:44
Speaker 3: Look, it's it's a fair point, and I'm with you.
35:46
Speaker 3: Everybody's got to go, you come back the right way.
35:50
Speaker 3: And what we ought to be focused on are all
35:52
Speaker 3: the people that have been trying to get here the
35:54
Speaker 3: legal way. They're the ones that keep getting shoved further
35:56
Speaker 3: down the line. And nobody wants to talk about those folks.
36:01
Speaker 19: Well that's because they're not democratic voters.
36:03
Speaker 3: Well, well there you go, and that's and that's it.
36:08
Speaker 3: I mean, you're you're absolutely right. Not only that, what
36:10
Speaker 3: you've got to throw in the H one B and
36:12
Speaker 3: we'll we'll talk about that at another time. But there
36:15
Speaker 3: are a lot of problems and it bothers me that
36:18
Speaker 3: that the administration's backing down on this policy. Bear thank
36:22
Speaker 3: you for that call. Let's try to work in Bob
36:24
Speaker 3: here also listening to us on Patriot Talk nine to twenty. Bob,
36:27
Speaker 3: what's what's your take, Todd, I'm.
36:30
Speaker 21: Down here in Texas. I traveled the border occasionally and
36:33
Speaker 21: and there's highways a roads that specifically the Border patrol
36:38
Speaker 21: and ICE patrol, and they have cars pulled over and
36:42
Speaker 21: it's to aliens. And if they stop this nationwide, it's
36:45
Speaker 21: just going to make a major influx of more automobiles
36:49
Speaker 21: pouring over the border and into invasion is going to continue.
36:53
Speaker 21: I can't believe that Trump administration has caved in on this.
36:56
Speaker 21: This is a major issue. You shall also see it Houstonnario.
37:00
Speaker 21: Driving around occasionally, ICE will have a car's pull over
37:04
Speaker 21: aliens owl on the side with a handcuffs. All that's
37:08
Speaker 21: gonna stop.
37:10
Speaker 14: I can't believe they caved in.
37:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's unfortunate. That was Reuter's reporting, but also Fox
37:17
Speaker 3: News Bill Malusian over at Fox is reporting the same thing. Bob.
37:22
Speaker 3: Thank you for your intel there. Thank you for listening
37:24
Speaker 3: to Patriot Talk nine to twenty. We love those folks.
37:27
Speaker 3: Hang tight, everybody gotta take a quick break. Nine oh
37:30
Speaker 3: one two six zero five nine two six our number.
37:34
Speaker 3: This is the Todd Sterns Radio Show.
37:51
Speaker 1: By from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
37:55
Speaker 1: common sense conservative commentary from Todd Stars.
38:08
Speaker 3: All right, hello everybody, welcome to hour two of The
38:12
Speaker 3: Big Show. Good to have you with us this hour
38:15
Speaker 3: of the program. Powered by Doctor Pepper. That's pretty much it. Yeah, No,
38:21
Speaker 3: they're not an official sponsor. They ought to be, but
38:25
Speaker 3: we have some the lovely advertising goddess Miss Cheryl brought
38:29
Speaker 3: us all some of these miniature doctor Peppers. So the
38:32
Speaker 3: problem with these cans here, Dylan, is about two SIPs
38:35
Speaker 3: and you're done. That's the problem I've got with these
38:38
Speaker 3: tiny doctor Peppers.
38:39
Speaker 4: It's true, but it does keep you honest, it keeps
38:41
Speaker 4: you in shape. You know, it's held. It's doctor Pepper.
38:45
Speaker 3: It's it's medicinal. Yes, otherwise you would not have the
38:49
Speaker 3: D or the R.
38:49
Speaker 1: There.
38:50
Speaker 3: I'm just saying nine oh one two six zero five
38:54
Speaker 3: nine two six our telephone Nuber. A bit of breaking
38:56
Speaker 3: news this hour of the program. We learned earlier that
39:00
Speaker 3: ICE has now been instructed to immediately cease most vehicle
39:05
Speaker 3: stops during immigration enforcement operations, except for operations targeting the
39:10
Speaker 3: most egregious criminal aliens. This comes after two people were
39:15
Speaker 3: killed by ice shootings in Texas and Maine in the
39:18
Speaker 3: last week, and incidents that began as vehicle stops. DHS
39:23
Speaker 3: alleges one of those incidents was a ramming attempt. Fox's
39:27
Speaker 3: Bill Mlusian reporting that it will be temporary until ice
39:33
Speaker 3: officers receive new training on vehicle stops. It just seems
39:36
Speaker 3: to me that the greater emphasis here should be on
39:40
Speaker 3: telling the illegals to stop running over our ice agents.
39:45
Speaker 3: We had a caller in the last hour who was
39:48
Speaker 3: pretty adamant about all of this and said, Number one,
39:51
Speaker 3: the officers need to be trained to get out of
39:54
Speaker 3: the way of a vehicle speeding towards them. Number Two,
39:58
Speaker 3: the officers should can either shoot out the radiator or
40:02
Speaker 3: shoot out the tires, which, Dylan, it's a whole lot
40:06
Speaker 3: harder than if they make it look at in the movies.
40:10
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean why, it's it's common sense to
40:14
Speaker 4: do what an officer would do in that situation, and
40:17
Speaker 4: it is not shoot out a tire.
40:20
Speaker 3: My understanding is, well, if somebody is in law enforcement,
40:23
Speaker 3: they can verify this information. It seems to me the
40:25
Speaker 3: whole point is to stop the threat, not slow it down.
40:31
Speaker 3: But that's just me let's go to the phones here.
40:33
Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine twenty six.
40:36
Speaker 3: Willis driving the roads of Oklahoma on kg y N.
40:41
Speaker 3: Willis what's on your mind.
40:44
Speaker 14: I've been listening to you for a few years, and
40:47
Speaker 14: I listened to you this morning, and I just wanted
40:49
Speaker 14: to say two words. Resisting arrest. Nobody thinks to understand
40:56
Speaker 14: that anymore. But I'm sixty eight years old. When I
41:00
Speaker 14: was a small boy, I learned that lesson anytime a
41:04
Speaker 14: man with a bad John I Sheriff, please whoever, if
41:10
Speaker 14: they stop you, you need to stop. And that doesn't
41:14
Speaker 14: mean confront them or anything else. That means stop and
41:17
Speaker 14: see what they want. If you've got a lawsuit against
41:20
Speaker 14: them later because you've got a bad cop or something,
41:23
Speaker 14: that's one thing. But at that point, you stop and
41:27
Speaker 14: listen and do whatever they say. And people are not
41:31
Speaker 14: learning that. And every one of these deals that I
41:34
Speaker 14: hear about is a resisting arrest. Every time I hear it,
41:37
Speaker 14: I tell somebody that was all it was, was resisting arrest.
41:42
Speaker 14: They're in authority and you're not giving them authority. So
41:47
Speaker 14: that's what I had to say.
41:48
Speaker 3: You know, well, it just seems to me and you said,
41:51
Speaker 3: you were sixty eight years old. When we were growing up,
41:54
Speaker 3: at least in the nineteen seventies and eighties, we were
41:57
Speaker 3: trying to respect law enforcement. I am just not seeing
42:00
Speaker 3: any respect for law enforcement from young people, especially these days.
42:05
Speaker 3: And of course he illegals. You know, they're well, they're
42:08
Speaker 3: already breaking the law. But there's just very little respect
42:12
Speaker 3: for authority in this country.
42:14
Speaker 18: That's true.
42:15
Speaker 14: And you know, uh, your older was sixteen years old.
42:20
Speaker 14: I got stopped by a highway patrol and I was
42:23
Speaker 14: going seven mile an hour over the speed limit, and
42:26
Speaker 14: I thought the speed limit was different. And then as
42:31
Speaker 14: he was telling me this, my daughter got over from
42:34
Speaker 14: the other state started yelling at him, and I lined
42:38
Speaker 14: her out right on the spot and told her this
42:42
Speaker 14: man has the authority. Shut up and listened to him.
42:46
Speaker 14: And he didn't give me a picket. He gave me
42:48
Speaker 14: a warning. But she learned a lesson too. And it's
42:51
Speaker 14: time these young people, all these people start respecting the
42:55
Speaker 14: law enforcement of the United States.
42:57
Speaker 3: All right, Hey, willis great call out there, and thank
43:00
Speaker 3: you for listening to us on kg YN, our great
43:03
Speaker 3: affiliate out in Oklahoma. Let's go to Susan in Georgia. Hi, Susan,
43:08
Speaker 3: what's on your mind?
43:10
Speaker 22: Hey, Todd, I want to just say I agree one
43:14
Speaker 22: hundred percent these officers need to defend themselves, and not
43:17
Speaker 22: by shooting out tires, because if the intention of the
43:20
Speaker 22: driver was to run him over, then obviously he's going
43:22
Speaker 22: to hurt him somehow if he disabled the car. Who
43:25
Speaker 22: knows if he doesn't have a gun in the car too,
43:28
Speaker 22: and he might just roll down his window and shoot
43:30
Speaker 22: and kill the offices.
43:31
Speaker 3: So there you go, or God forbid, somebody just you know,
43:34
Speaker 3: an innocent civilian just kind of walks out into the
43:36
Speaker 3: street while all that's going down. I mean, there's so
43:38
Speaker 3: many unknown variables here. Susan.
43:40
Speaker 22: Absolutely, absolutely, he needs to send it right there. And
43:45
Speaker 22: I'm sorry that the poor man had to lose his
43:47
Speaker 22: life or that anyone has to, but there's consequences for
43:50
Speaker 22: that behavior, period.
43:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Susan, thank you for the call. Nine oh
43:56
Speaker 3: one two six zero five nine two six. Let's go
44:00
Speaker 3: to Paddy in North Carolina, w S.
44:02
Speaker 12: I C.
44:03
Speaker 3: And Patty, I know your son in law is in fact,
44:07
Speaker 3: he's an ice employee, Yes he.
44:11
Speaker 23: Is, and he worked at the Lady Hall in Jersey
44:15
Speaker 23: and he told me saying that you wouldn't believe how
44:21
Speaker 23: they're getting away with everything. We're talking about. We're talking
44:25
Speaker 23: about the protests, not the ice agents, not the police.
44:30
Speaker 2: He said.
44:31
Speaker 23: He said, he calls me, could I tell him, don't
44:33
Speaker 23: call it?
44:34
Speaker 9: Just come a tack.
44:37
Speaker 23: He left them, but he said, he said, it's crazy
44:45
Speaker 23: what they were doing. It was they were taken when
44:47
Speaker 23: the police came in with horses. They're kind of with
44:51
Speaker 23: horses to get these hideous.
44:52
Speaker 14: Out of there.
44:53
Speaker 23: And it's not too He goes, there were people crawling
44:58
Speaker 23: off the ground dressed as furries.
45:03
Speaker 3: Good look for life, a little creep life, a little critters.
45:06
Speaker 23: Yes, Jesus Todd there. I don't know what's going on, but.
45:13
Speaker 20: I don't know.
45:14
Speaker 23: He but let me tell you what he said about
45:16
Speaker 23: the horse. He said, this is what and I'm a
45:18
Speaker 23: I'm a I'm an animal lover. And who were you
45:21
Speaker 23: and everybody else? We were taking board with nails at
45:26
Speaker 23: it and they were whacking the horse.
45:30
Speaker 3: They were they were doing the protesters were doing that
45:32
Speaker 3: to the horses. Yes, it's it's just unacceptable, just unacceptable.
45:38
Speaker 3: And Patty again, they've got you that, you're right, they're
45:40
Speaker 3: getting away with it all. Every time, yet they're getting away.
45:46
Speaker 23: With it all Todd's and you know what he said,
45:48
Speaker 23: it makes him sick and then he goes. You know,
45:51
Speaker 23: we get blaked for everything because these people have child's raped.
45:54
Speaker 23: This because the guys, they were trying to uuh stick
45:58
Speaker 23: up for the guy raped a.
46:00
Speaker 3: Four year old girl and they would you know, well,
46:04
Speaker 3: Ms Patty, I will say this, and we appreciate you
46:07
Speaker 3: calling in. You know, God bless your son in law.
46:09
Speaker 3: And we just have to pray that these guys are protected,
46:12
Speaker 3: that they have targets on them every single day that
46:15
Speaker 3: they're out there, and the Democrats are and the media
46:20
Speaker 3: are largely responsible for doing that. Nine oh one two
46:23
Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six our number Dylan. An
46:28
Speaker 3: interesting story out of Fox News in Detroit. This is
46:33
Speaker 3: the headline. Gen Z is single handedly bringing America's shopping
46:37
Speaker 3: malls back to life. You know, back when I was
46:42
Speaker 3: in high school, that was like the place to go.
46:45
Speaker 4: Was like the ball that in the movies, right you guys, lolls, malls.
46:49
Speaker 3: And movies, absolutely, and you'd go there, you'd hang out
46:53
Speaker 3: with your friends, you'd go shopping, you'd have a good time.
46:56
Speaker 3: There was none of the chaos, you know, you didn't
46:59
Speaker 3: have mobs of thugs, you know, rampage, opening fire in Victoria's.
47:05
Speaker 4: Secret happy happy shoppers you did.
47:08
Speaker 3: It was like a whole different world. I remember it
47:11
Speaker 3: was a kid, you know. We would go with a
47:13
Speaker 3: with with your great grandmother, my grandmother, and we'd go
47:16
Speaker 3: down to the Southland Mall in Whitehn and we'd go
47:19
Speaker 3: shopping and man for Sunday dinner, we'd go to the
47:22
Speaker 3: Piccadilly which was right there, and in the mall and
47:26
Speaker 3: on one end you had Sears, which is where all
47:29
Speaker 3: the middle class people went, and then you had Goldsmiths,
47:32
Speaker 3: which was the high falutant department store. That's where all
47:34
Speaker 3: the rich people and that's how That's what we were
47:36
Speaker 3: told when we were kids, right, and then in between
47:39
Speaker 3: you had Radio Shack and Woolworth. You know, it was
47:43
Speaker 3: a lot of fun back in the day. And then
47:45
Speaker 3: if you go over there now, it's like you've got
47:48
Speaker 3: to have kevlar, you need security weapons, Ammo bear spray.
47:57
Speaker 3: So it's hard to go shopping because you've got to
47:59
Speaker 3: carry all the accouterments there.
48:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's.
48:04
Speaker 3: It's tough. I'm just telling you so. Anyway, but gen
48:07
Speaker 3: Z is now and again, a large argument was so
48:11
Speaker 3: here's how it went. We used to do all that,
48:13
Speaker 3: and then in the nineties the senior citizens started taking
48:16
Speaker 3: over the malls. They would get up early in the
48:18
Speaker 3: morning before the mall actually opened, and they would do
48:21
Speaker 3: their walking inside the malls. And then you had the
48:27
Speaker 3: thugs come in in in the most recent years, and
48:30
Speaker 3: now a lot of people are just doing all their
48:32
Speaker 3: shopping online. And I am curious about this story because
48:36
Speaker 3: gen Z shoppers, those are young kids, are actually going
48:40
Speaker 3: back to shopping in person. According to Fox News, the
48:48
Speaker 3: in person that gen Z actually favors in person shopping
48:52
Speaker 3: experiences over simply filling online carts. Their spending habits are
48:58
Speaker 3: becoming a major focus for retailers and mall operators looking
49:02
Speaker 3: to adapt to changing consumer behavior. This was all reported
49:08
Speaker 3: on Fox Business. How malls are now redesigning spaces and
49:13
Speaker 3: adding new experiences aimed at younger shoppers, from social media
49:17
Speaker 3: friendly dressing rooms to activities like indoor rock climbing walls. Oh,
49:22
Speaker 3: that's interesting. According to data from According to the data
49:27
Speaker 3: firm Nielsen IQ, gen Z retail spending is expected to
49:31
Speaker 3: surpass twelve trillion dollars globally by twenty thirty data found
49:38
Speaker 3: shoppers between eighteen and twenty four years old made sixty
49:41
Speaker 3: two percent of their general merchandise pursases in physical stores
49:46
Speaker 3: last year, compared to fifty two percent among twenty five
49:49
Speaker 3: years and older. So, Dylan, you're in that older category.
49:53
Speaker 3: Now do you shop online or do you like to
49:56
Speaker 3: go in person.
49:57
Speaker 4: I'm fortunate enough to live next to It's hard, which
50:00
Speaker 4: that is where I get all my clothing and everything
50:03
Speaker 4: else that I would possibly need. So, you know, the
50:06
Speaker 4: mall thing. I don't know if it's specific to just
50:08
Speaker 4: malls or like just in person shopping, but I mean, yeah,
50:12
Speaker 4: I guess I would be falling into that because I
50:15
Speaker 4: do buy my clothes like in person.
50:17
Speaker 3: I wonder why. I wonder what it is about the
50:20
Speaker 3: mall And you know, for us, it was all social
50:22
Speaker 3: more than anything else.
50:23
Speaker 4: I like, for gen Z, it's got to be nostalgia, right,
50:27
Speaker 4: because we did grow up in the time where we
50:29
Speaker 4: did go to malls, Like we did have that sweet
50:32
Speaker 4: spot in the early two thousands where we were going
50:34
Speaker 4: with our parents in the malls and it was still great,
50:36
Speaker 4: no mobs yet, So maybe it's just like, you know,
50:40
Speaker 4: everything is brought back now from its vintage. The malls
50:43
Speaker 4: are vintage and it's just brought back.
50:45
Speaker 3: According to Fox Business, some gen Z shoppers say the
50:49
Speaker 3: malls offer a social connection that online shopping cannot fully replace.
50:54
Speaker 4: Well, that's true.
50:55
Speaker 3: What was the one There was one store that all
50:58
Speaker 3: you people used to shop at. You could smell it
51:02
Speaker 3: before you could see it. Oh what was that store?
51:04
Speaker 3: It was like a blue jean store, like air Apostle. No, no, no,
51:08
Speaker 3: it was like it began with an A and you
51:10
Speaker 3: could smell it. And I think they actually put their
51:13
Speaker 3: fragrance in the ventilation system.
51:16
Speaker 4: Is that the one that had like the models on
51:17
Speaker 4: the outside of the stores that would stand there like shirtless, but.
51:21
Speaker 3: They didn't wear clothes. Yeah, yes, that was it.
51:23
Speaker 4: It's it's not air Apostle. It's the other one.
51:26
Speaker 3: Somebody's gonna remember it anyway, they're saying the one shopper
51:30
Speaker 3: they talked to it. Fox said, we grew up. This
51:33
Speaker 3: is great. We grew up like during the quarantine. You know,
51:37
Speaker 3: you can actually edit out those likes. We grew up
51:40
Speaker 3: during the quarantine. Getting out and hanging out with people
51:43
Speaker 3: was a very big thing. We did not appreciate during
51:46
Speaker 3: that time as we grow older, we see that we
51:49
Speaker 3: need to be doing these things and it's kind of fun.
51:52
Speaker 4: This is great news. We're not stuck on the internet forever.
51:55
Speaker 4: We can actually go outside that This is good news
51:58
Speaker 4: for gen Z.
51:59
Speaker 3: Maybe this is a chain society as a whole, I hope.
52:01
Speaker 6: So.
52:02
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, we talked about the movie thing earlier.
52:04
Speaker 4: I see a lot of people going back to the
52:05
Speaker 4: movies like I do. I always love going to the movies,
52:08
Speaker 4: Is that right? Yeah, It's way better now than going
52:11
Speaker 4: to Netflix. I mean, first of all, Netflix is raising
52:13
Speaker 4: their prices, all of them are raising their prices.
52:15
Speaker 3: Are the crowds I'm just curious. I haven't been in
52:17
Speaker 3: years to the Are the crowds behaved? I mean, everybody's
52:21
Speaker 3: you know, watching the movie.
52:22
Speaker 4: For the most part. I mean people. The worst thing
52:25
Speaker 4: that I've seen is people just talking full volume during
52:27
Speaker 4: the movies, but like no fighting, no writing, and at
52:31
Speaker 4: least my theater.
52:32
Speaker 3: The last movie theater I went to the regular theater.
52:37
Speaker 3: Everybody had their phones on and you could see the
52:40
Speaker 3: glow of the phones, and I'm like, really, that's.
52:42
Speaker 4: The worst thing ever. I mean, you paid money to
52:44
Speaker 4: come here, You're just gonna be on your phone.
52:46
Speaker 3: Oh, advertising Goddess Chryl says it was Abercrombie and Fetch.
52:50
Speaker 4: That's it.
52:51
Speaker 3: That's it, that's what it is.
52:52
Speaker 4: You can smell that store from a mile out.
52:54
Speaker 3: And help me understand this. Kids were actually buying blue
52:57
Speaker 3: jeans that were completely destroyed. Yeah, ripped, and they charged
53:01
Speaker 3: more for that. This is true, Okay. I just wanted
53:03
Speaker 3: to make sure I understood.
53:04
Speaker 4: You're getting less, less coverage for more money.
53:06
Speaker 3: I guess I had to pay so much because clearly,
53:08
Speaker 3: if you're wearing the Abercromby jeans, you do not wear
53:10
Speaker 3: a shirt. Yeah, so they're losing out on shirts they advertised.
53:15
Speaker 3: I was just I did sell shirts. I will say
53:17
Speaker 3: they did sell shirts. Well, this is I mean, look,
53:20
Speaker 3: this is great news for the shopping malls of America.
53:22
Speaker 3: I have to imagine gen Z going back to the mall.
53:26
Speaker 3: There you go. Nine oh one two six zero five
53:29
Speaker 3: nine two six hour telephone number. That's nine oh one
53:32
Speaker 3: two six zero five to nine two six. This is
53:35
Speaker 3: the Todd Stern Show. So this morning I'm I always
53:49
Speaker 3: do them. Every Tuesday, I do an early morning hit
53:52
Speaker 3: with the Morning Show over at wdun and Gamesville, Georgia,
53:56
Speaker 3: our good buddy Bill Maine is the host there, and
54:00
Speaker 3: he asked me about this story about gen Z going
54:03
Speaker 3: back to the mall, and he said, if you could
54:05
Speaker 3: bring back any any store, any mall store from your childhood,
54:11
Speaker 3: what would it be. What a great question. I'm thinking, Yeah,
54:18
Speaker 3: And I got to thinking about this and I you know,
54:20
Speaker 3: one of the one of my favorite mall stores was
54:23
Speaker 3: Tower Records, which I missed the old school record stores
54:27
Speaker 3: where you could go in and you had all the music.
54:31
Speaker 3: And when I Tower Records was like the quintessential, the
54:36
Speaker 3: quintessential records shop. And I remember when I moved to Sacramento.
54:40
Speaker 3: I was one of the reasons I was excited about
54:42
Speaker 3: moving to Sacramento. Dylan is that was the headquarters of
54:45
Speaker 3: Tower Records. That was where it all started. And there's
54:48
Speaker 3: a great I think it was on Netflix. There's a
54:51
Speaker 3: great documentary and if you love music, you got to
54:53
Speaker 3: watch this documentary. And I watched it and Dylan, I
54:57
Speaker 3: was about ready to give up the radio show go
55:00
Speaker 3: and work at Tower Records.
55:02
Speaker 4: Records are cool. I love record shops. There's I never
55:05
Speaker 4: got to experience that era. So I mean, I'm so
55:08
Speaker 4: happy when I'm inside one so.
55:10
Speaker 3: I am curious, and I bet our audience is going
55:13
Speaker 3: to run away out on this. We're gonna ask Josh
55:14
Speaker 3: Jones when he come, because he's you know, he's a
55:16
Speaker 3: gen zer. We're gonna ask him if it's like a
55:19
Speaker 3: favorite mall store. If you could bring back a favorite
55:22
Speaker 3: mall store, like, I don't seem goodie.
55:24
Speaker 4: For example, mine would be dumb. It would be game Stop.
55:26
Speaker 4: And it's only because like GameStop was like a childhood
55:29
Speaker 4: universal experience.
55:31
Speaker 3: Oh that's a good one.
55:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, like the physical games because they're all digital now.
55:35
Speaker 3: I'm wondering though, Like nineteen eighties era, we used to have,
55:38
Speaker 3: like used to have video arcades. It didn't matter what
55:41
Speaker 3: what kind of a it was a big galleria or
55:44
Speaker 3: a shopping mall, you would always have like an arcade
55:46
Speaker 3: and you just your parents would go shopping and you'd
55:50
Speaker 3: head off to the arcade with like a roller corders.
55:53
Speaker 11: Man.
55:53
Speaker 3: That was that was a lot of fun back of
55:55
Speaker 3: the day. Ladies and gentlemen. If you could bring back
55:57
Speaker 3: one of your favorite mall stores, what would it be?
56:00
Speaker 3: You know, one two six zero five to nine two six.
56:03
Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two
56:05
Speaker 3: six this is the Tom Stern Show. All right, welcome
56:19
Speaker 3: back to the Ton Stearns Radio Show. So the story,
56:23
Speaker 3: by the way, is that a number of gen Zers
56:26
Speaker 3: are now going back to actual shopping malls and they
56:30
Speaker 3: prefer shopping in person as opposed to shopping online. And
56:35
Speaker 3: that led us to the question of the day. If
56:38
Speaker 3: if you could bring back a store from from your childhood,
56:43
Speaker 3: don't stop laughing, what would what would that store be?
56:49
Speaker 3: Our number nine oh one two six zero five nine
56:51
Speaker 3: two six Gary and Florida, Woca Gary. What's on your mind?
56:58
Speaker 24: That well, that I would want to come back. But
57:03
Speaker 24: I had five kids from seventy six to eighty nine,
57:06
Speaker 24: and I was spending a lot of money. Every time
57:08
Speaker 24: my wife and I went to the mall. There was
57:10
Speaker 24: a store called gad Dukes and g A d doo
57:15
Speaker 24: KOs and it was great clothes for teenagers and kids
57:20
Speaker 24: and young adults. And I was spending so much money there.
57:24
Speaker 24: I decided to invest about one thousand and five thousand
57:28
Speaker 24: shares of stock and that company was taken off. I
57:31
Speaker 24: think they went from one hundred and eighty stores to
57:34
Speaker 24: over four hundred oh no. And the next thing, the
57:37
Speaker 24: next thing, I know, my shares were falling in the
57:40
Speaker 24: stores and they filed bankruptcy, and there there went my
57:45
Speaker 24: investment besides all the money I spent.
57:47
Speaker 3: On my kids.
57:48
Speaker 24: Dad Zookes, Gary gad Zekes, I should have been Larry
57:53
Speaker 24: of the name. But like most like most ventures, another
57:59
Speaker 24: company was a pocketphall of cash came in and bottom
58:02
Speaker 24: for nothing that it was called Forever twenty one. So
58:05
Speaker 24: that was my That was the only time I invested
58:09
Speaker 24: in boutique stores at the UH at the malls.
58:14
Speaker 3: Gary, what a great story. Thank you. I hope you
58:17
Speaker 3: learned your lesson there, my friend. But yeah, I remember
58:20
Speaker 3: Dad Zooks I was. I was a nerd. I used
58:23
Speaker 3: to go to Walton Books. Anybody remember Walton Books. That
58:27
Speaker 3: was a great, a great mall store back in the day.
58:31
Speaker 3: I want to go right away to our Patriot Mobile
58:33
Speaker 3: Newsmaker line and say, hello, I guarantee you this guy
58:35
Speaker 3: went to the mall a time or two. Our chief
58:37
Speaker 3: political strategist Josh Jones. Josh, first of all, are you
58:42
Speaker 3: surprised that your generation's going back to the shopping malls.
58:46
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe a little, But honestly, after code and everything,
58:49
Speaker 2: I think people were just kind of high over the
58:51
Speaker 2: online you know trend of just buying everything and having
58:55
Speaker 2: a ship to you. So, I mean, I'm not super surprised,
58:57
Speaker 2: but you know, malls have always been a down so so.
59:01
Speaker 3: Like you, you grew up in a small town, So
59:04
Speaker 3: was that a big deal when you were a kid
59:06
Speaker 3: going to going to the mall?
59:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, we definitely didn't have a mall my town growing up.
59:11
Speaker 2: The closest one was in Kingsport, Tennessee. So it's probably like,
59:14
Speaker 2: I don't know, a thirty forty minute drives, that's not
59:17
Speaker 2: too far. So the reason we would always go to
59:20
Speaker 2: the mall those that's where the closest, well maybe not
59:22
Speaker 2: the closest, but the one of the better movie theaters were,
59:25
Speaker 2: So that's where we'd always go to the movies as
59:27
Speaker 2: so naturally you'd go in all the other stories as well.
59:29
Speaker 3: That makes us Are you a big averagrom big guy
59:31
Speaker 3: by any chance?
59:33
Speaker 6: I kind of am.
59:34
Speaker 2: I I have been with them for a while now
59:36
Speaker 2: in terms of like buying their stuff. I went and
59:39
Speaker 2: shopped there when I was in high school. I still
59:41
Speaker 2: shop there now, frankly.
59:43
Speaker 3: So help me understand this. Because everything smells like that
59:46
Speaker 3: perfume or that cologne or whatever that is. I mean everything,
59:49
Speaker 3: Does the smell ever go away?
59:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
59:53
Speaker 4: I don't know that.
59:54
Speaker 2: I mean I don't remember as a kid, and maybe
59:56
Speaker 2: it was there, I don't know, but I definitely notice
59:58
Speaker 2: that now they're totally I don't of what their method
1:00:01
Speaker 2: is or what the sin is, but they're pumping it
1:00:03
Speaker 2: into the aces.
1:00:04
Speaker 3: So so help me understand this, because again, when I
1:00:07
Speaker 3: was growing up, you know, we would actually wear blue
1:00:09
Speaker 3: jeans that did not have holes in them.
1:00:12
Speaker 24: Uh.
1:00:12
Speaker 3: And yet your generation, you're, you're you guys go out
1:00:15
Speaker 3: there and you the holes are already there.
1:00:18
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, Look, it's a solid choice.
1:00:21
Speaker 2: I don't make that choice. My my jeans are just
1:00:23
Speaker 2: just normal gens.
1:00:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't.
1:00:26
Speaker 2: I don't get the get the pill. But look, you know,
1:00:29
Speaker 2: I don't claim to have my being on the pulse
1:00:31
Speaker 2: of fashion.
1:00:32
Speaker 3: So I understand, but you do have your finger on
1:00:35
Speaker 3: the pulse of politics. And Josh, we have some breaking
1:00:39
Speaker 3: news to share with you. Uh yeah, let's go ahead
1:00:41
Speaker 3: and do it, uh, Dylan breaking news now on the
1:00:45
Speaker 3: Todd Stern Show, Josh. Just moments ago in the Senate
1:00:51
Speaker 3: on the Senate floor, Senator Chuck Schumer ripped one let's
1:00:56
Speaker 3: let's take a listen as this story goes viral this afternoon.
1:01:01
Speaker 25: And we need a complete investigation that's independent now on
1:01:07
Speaker 25: Iran and the n d a A when all the
1:01:10
Speaker 25: Trump administration.
1:01:14
Speaker 3: I hope you didn't have any of that. Let us
1:01:16
Speaker 3: from Taco Bell. That's the explosive diarrhea. No kidding, No, Dylan,
1:01:27
Speaker 3: are you okay?
1:01:28
Speaker 6: No?
1:01:30
Speaker 4: I have a terrible childlike mind. Farts are very funny
1:01:33
Speaker 4: to me, well, especially in the in the true very
1:01:38
Speaker 4: inappropriate timing.
1:01:39
Speaker 3: Very inappropriate timing. But hey, when nature calls fellas, I mean,
1:01:43
Speaker 3: what are you gonna do? Well? It is what it is, uh, Josh.
1:01:52
Speaker 3: We have been following a lot of crazy, a lot
1:01:55
Speaker 3: of crazy political use of president. By the way, it's
1:01:57
Speaker 3: going to be addressing the nation on Thursday night and
1:02:00
Speaker 3: he was just in the Oval teasing it. It's got
1:02:03
Speaker 3: something to do. We're being led to believe from what
1:02:06
Speaker 3: the President is telling us. With election fraud, I'm just wondering,
1:02:10
Speaker 3: is that still playing with people and you know, or
1:02:13
Speaker 3: do we risk just turning off more voters in the midterms.
1:02:18
Speaker 2: Look, we'll wait and see what the President has to
1:02:20
Speaker 2: talk about. But to your point, are being led you know,
1:02:22
Speaker 2: based on leaks and other things, that it's going to
1:02:24
Speaker 2: be about election integrity, particularly the Duke of Georgia and
1:02:27
Speaker 2: the two senators from there. And look, this has been
1:02:29
Speaker 2: a long litigated issue, both in the public space and
1:02:32
Speaker 2: in the courts. I don't think we're winning votes here.
1:02:36
Speaker 2: And that's not to say that the president's claims necessarily
1:02:38
Speaker 2: aren't legitimate or there's you know, issues to bring up
1:02:41
Speaker 2: to the public there. But look, we're closing in on
1:02:44
Speaker 2: the midterms. You have to lock down on your core
1:02:46
Speaker 2: message of what you're doing for the American people, and
1:02:50
Speaker 2: that's what you have to deliver on heading into November.
1:02:53
Speaker 2: Religating twenty twenty over and over again. I just don't
1:02:55
Speaker 2: think it's picking us up votes.
1:02:57
Speaker 3: No, I mean, at this point, I really don't see
1:03:00
Speaker 3: the whole point of it. I'm more concerned about stories,
1:03:03
Speaker 3: for example, that a shocking number of Americans are using
1:03:07
Speaker 3: their credit cards to pay for grocery bills. That those
1:03:11
Speaker 3: kinds of stories are are what I hope are keeping
1:03:14
Speaker 3: lawmakers up at night because they have got to get
1:03:17
Speaker 3: a handle on these prices.
1:03:19
Speaker 2: You're right, You're right, grocery store prices in particular, I mean,
1:03:22
Speaker 2: the cost of living is always going to be the
1:03:23
Speaker 2: number one issue, particularly in the modern election cycle. I
1:03:28
Speaker 2: mean it has been for a couple of years and
1:03:29
Speaker 2: now is still going to be. And to your point,
1:03:31
Speaker 2: I mean inflation prices, the report that came about a
1:03:34
Speaker 2: record number of Americans putting their groceries on their credit
1:03:36
Speaker 2: card bills to cover the costs in the meantime, I mean,
1:03:40
Speaker 2: that's the stuff that's going to resonate with voters heading
1:03:42
Speaker 2: into November. You know, these culture war issues or hot
1:03:46
Speaker 2: button political issues where you know the country's divided. You're
1:03:49
Speaker 2: not moving people on that and no convincing them to
1:03:51
Speaker 2: vote for you based on that.
1:03:52
Speaker 3: Josh, I'm curious. So your take on South Carolina certainly
1:03:56
Speaker 3: just a shocking, shocking news over the weekend that Senator
1:03:59
Speaker 3: Lindsay Graham it's gonna have they're gonna have a very
1:04:03
Speaker 3: short amount of time to run this primary and then
1:04:06
Speaker 3: prepare for the general election. How did things look right now?
1:04:10
Speaker 3: Who are you hearing as possible candidates to replace Lindsey Graham?
1:04:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, as of right now, I mean an see, the
1:04:17
Speaker 2: governor's going to appoint the late senator's sister to finish
1:04:21
Speaker 2: out his term, which I think is a good choice.
1:04:22
Speaker 2: I think that's what the Senator would have wanted, and
1:04:24
Speaker 2: I think it's good for South Carolina. She's not a
1:04:26
Speaker 2: devisive figure. She'll finish the term as Lindsey Graham would have. Now,
1:04:31
Speaker 2: when it comes to fulfilling the seat in the election
1:04:33
Speaker 2: in November, I think it's going to be a crowded field. Look,
1:04:36
Speaker 2: you just had a competitive governor's primary where a lot
1:04:38
Speaker 2: of people did pretty well, didn't get the nomination, but
1:04:41
Speaker 2: did pretty well, and I think you're going to see
1:04:43
Speaker 2: a lot of them jump into the race. I mean,
1:04:44
Speaker 2: Nancy Mace has already teased it. Ralph Norman had some
1:04:48
Speaker 2: reports going out about him about potentially jumping into that.
1:04:51
Speaker 2: So we'll have to wait and see who all gets
1:04:54
Speaker 2: involved in that or if the President puts his thumb
1:04:56
Speaker 2: on the scale in terms of who he thinks would
1:04:58
Speaker 2: be a good fit in the Senate.
1:05:00
Speaker 3: Let me ask you about Mitchell McConnell. This whole thing
1:05:02
Speaker 3: is just weird to me, and it just seems to
1:05:06
Speaker 3: me they're they're in danger of damaging his legacy the
1:05:10
Speaker 3: way they're handling whatever this illness is, And it just
1:05:13
Speaker 3: seems to me if you're spending I don't know, ninety
1:05:16
Speaker 3: minutes or two hours doing phone conversations with friends, why
1:05:19
Speaker 3: could you not pick up the phone and I don't know,
1:05:21
Speaker 3: call in the Fix news channel and you know, let
1:05:24
Speaker 3: people know that you're actually alive and kicking. I don't
1:05:26
Speaker 3: get that.
1:05:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm right there with you. It's a totally
1:05:30
Speaker 2: fair question to ask. Look, the American people deserve transparency
1:05:34
Speaker 2: from their elected officials, whether you know you're the local
1:05:37
Speaker 2: delegate and your state assembly or if you're you know,
1:05:41
Speaker 2: us senator, you're accountable to your constituents. And if you're
1:05:45
Speaker 2: having health issues. Look, we're all human. People have health issues,
1:05:48
Speaker 2: but you have to be transparent about it, trying to
1:05:49
Speaker 2: hide something people can see through a screen very easily.
1:05:53
Speaker 2: So look, I don't have the answer. I wish I did,
1:05:56
Speaker 2: but I think it's right to ask questions.
1:05:58
Speaker 3: That being said, I I am curious about this. Do
1:06:01
Speaker 3: you think that that maybe just maybe we need to
1:06:04
Speaker 3: have a conversation of this country about age limits when
1:06:08
Speaker 3: it comes to for example, Congress, you wonder if these,
1:06:12
Speaker 3: if these and there are a good many of very
1:06:15
Speaker 3: old lawmakers, if they are still of sound mind.
1:06:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, Look, there should be an age limit.
1:06:22
Speaker 2: There's an age minimum to be in Congress. There should
1:06:24
Speaker 2: be an age maximum. And to your point, that's not
1:06:27
Speaker 2: to say everybody that's you know, up there in age
1:06:30
Speaker 2: is and of sound mind. But look, the reality is
1:06:32
Speaker 2: after eighty years old, it is scientifically proving your brain
1:06:35
Speaker 2: starts to shrink up to twenty percent. So if you're
1:06:39
Speaker 2: my personal stance, and look, I'm not a legislator, but
1:06:42
Speaker 2: my stance would be, Look, the law should be if
1:06:44
Speaker 2: you're eighty years or older, you can't run for reelection.
1:06:46
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry, pass on the torch to the next generation.
1:06:49
Speaker 2: Plus who wants to be in the halls of Congress
1:06:51
Speaker 2: at eighty years old? I mean, I could think of
1:06:53
Speaker 2: a million other things I'd want to be doing.
1:06:55
Speaker 3: One thousand percent, because that's what gets me is who
1:06:57
Speaker 3: would want to do the job? I mean, at some
1:06:59
Speaker 3: point you're gonna want to retire and go to the
1:07:02
Speaker 3: beach or you know, go to the retirement home. Who knows.
1:07:05
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean it is genuinely not that like
1:07:08
Speaker 2: over dramaticize it. It is a matter of national security.
1:07:10
Speaker 2: These people are taking on the Intel committees and armed services.
1:07:13
Speaker 2: I mean these are serious issues they're doing with And
1:07:15
Speaker 2: if you're ninety years old and came and Thinkstree, I mean,
1:07:18
Speaker 2: what are you doing? Why are you in Congress?
1:07:20
Speaker 3: It's it's a terrific question. All right, Josh Jones, We're
1:07:23
Speaker 3: gonna let you go back to shopping. Thank you as
1:07:27
Speaker 3: always for joining us. Good to see you, my friends.
1:07:30
Speaker 3: Thanks Todd, all right, the great Josh Jones. Everybody. I
1:07:34
Speaker 3: like this idea though, And and Josh is right. You've
1:07:37
Speaker 3: got an age limit. You have to be of a
1:07:39
Speaker 3: certain age to run for office, So why not camp
1:07:43
Speaker 3: that age? I mean, that makes perfect sense to me.
1:07:46
Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
1:07:49
Speaker 3: is our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six
1:07:51

1:08:08

Speaker 25: Iran and the NDAA. When all the Trump administration, Oh.
1:09:26
Speaker 3: Yes, the headline coming from the Republicans, did Senator Schumer
1:09:30
Speaker 3: break wind? They're in the US Senate hashtag fabreeze. I
1:09:36
Speaker 3: added that last part in there. That's something you know. Look,
1:09:39
Speaker 3: it's a fair question, of course. With the big explosive
1:09:42
Speaker 3: diarrhea epidemic that's a sweeping across the fruited plane, people
1:09:46
Speaker 3: are literally being told not to eat any sort of lightwet,
1:09:49
Speaker 3: let us anything green or fruity coming out, So no
1:09:53
Speaker 3: more healthy food.
1:09:55
Speaker 4: Not a problem for me.
1:09:56
Speaker 3: The MAHA movement is screwed.
1:09:59
Speaker 4: I'm just saying at my Burger's plane, so I'm fine.
1:10:01
Speaker 3: Well they're well, good for you. There you go, it's not.
1:10:04
Speaker 4: Good for me. I should not get a plane.
1:10:06
Speaker 3: I had a salad yesterday.
1:10:08
Speaker 4: Oh boy, I well, you know what they're saying.
1:10:11
Speaker 3: Just cut the microphone. By the way, that's a pretty
1:10:15
Speaker 3: strong microphone, it is, or it was a mighty loud.
1:10:19
Speaker 4: Well I think I had a microphone back there.
1:10:21
Speaker 3: Well, it could have been a big gust of wind.
1:10:23
Speaker 3: So let's go to Alabama. Anthony on the line. Hi, Anthony,
1:10:28
Speaker 3: what's on your mind today?
1:10:29
Speaker 20: Hello there, mister storn is a great mix of comedy
1:10:32
Speaker 20: and information on your shoe today, Thank you, sir. Anyway,
1:10:38
Speaker 20: what did this? Is common when the term limits thing
1:10:41
Speaker 20: and you were talking about Ms McConnell, and I don't
1:10:45
Speaker 20: think it'll ever happen. The system is not going to
1:10:49
Speaker 20: fix the system. They get in there and there you
1:10:53
Speaker 20: would think the guy would have been retired by now,
1:10:55
Speaker 20: but they'll hang on their hanger owners and they're going
1:10:59
Speaker 20: to hang on, and the the graft is too much
1:11:02
Speaker 20: to give up and since we the people don't really
1:11:05
Speaker 20: have you know, it's supposed to be the government by
1:11:07
Speaker 20: the people, for the people. I don't think it's been
1:11:09
Speaker 20: that way for years. It's a government by the government,
1:11:12
Speaker 20: for the government. I'm not really a pessimist or optimist
1:11:15
Speaker 20: on either one of these. I'm more of a realist.
1:11:18
Speaker 20: But I mean, seeing is believing, and I don't think
1:11:21
Speaker 20: these people will ever ever change much of anything. It's
1:11:25
Speaker 20: like asking your vehicle to fix itself when it's broken.
1:11:28
Speaker 20: It's not going to fix itself. You have to fix it.
1:11:31
Speaker 20: So anyway, that's what I wanted to comment on. When
1:11:34
Speaker 20: that the system is for the system, it's just not
1:11:37
Speaker 20: going to it. I don't know how to change how
1:11:40
Speaker 20: how do we change this? I always ask this one question,
1:11:44
Speaker 20: and well, what does it come to? And it's we're
1:11:48
Speaker 20: never We're not there, we're not closed. But what does
1:11:50
Speaker 20: it come to when we have to use the in
1:11:53
Speaker 20: case of emergency break glass Amendment? That's what I call it.
1:11:56
Speaker 20: But I don't think it's there. But I hope it
1:11:58
Speaker 20: never comes to that. I have grandkids, you know. But
1:12:02
Speaker 20: the system, we vote and what else, we don't have
1:12:06
Speaker 20: any participation in they picked their leaders, they have their decorum,
1:12:11
Speaker 20: they have their tradition. We don't have any say about
1:12:14
Speaker 20: any of that. They make the rules, and it's the
1:12:17
Speaker 20: golden rule. Those with the most gold make the rules.
1:12:21
Speaker 20: They're in charge, and all we can do is vote
1:12:24
Speaker 20: for them when they come to us with their hat
1:12:26
Speaker 20: in hand at election time. And that's all we get.
1:12:29
Speaker 20: And half of the lighter way in and this thing
1:12:32
Speaker 20: going on with Warnock and us off. You know, Trump's
1:12:35
Speaker 20: got a good point, but they're not going to They're
1:12:38
Speaker 20: not going to go away. They were cheated in there,
1:12:40
Speaker 20: and it can be right in your eyes.
1:12:41
Speaker 24: They can prove it.
1:12:42
Speaker 20: They were cheated in area.
1:12:43
Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question, Anthony. I want to
1:12:46
Speaker 3: we're running out of time around. I want to ask
1:12:47
Speaker 3: you a quick question. At what age? What age should
1:12:49
Speaker 3: we say the cutoff is? Is it sixty five? Seventy?
1:12:54
Speaker 20: Well, I would say social security? Which is social security?
1:12:58
Speaker 20: Where you because you're all social security? That would be
1:13:00
Speaker 20: a good time.
1:13:01
Speaker 3: Sixty five, all right, sixty five, all right, sixty five.
1:13:06
Speaker 3: Like I don't have a problem with that. I just
1:13:08
Speaker 3: it concerns me because you know, these people like Diane Feinstein,
1:13:11
Speaker 3: you really think that she was of sound mind, of.
1:13:15
Speaker 20: Course not she was dying in front of the where
1:13:18
Speaker 20: she was sitting up there, and I want to and
1:13:20
Speaker 20: where they sit up there when they were asking questions
1:13:23
Speaker 20: of people having their meetings at all. She had to
1:13:27
Speaker 20: she had to have somebody interpret nothing for.
1:13:29
Speaker 3: It, didn't she Well, I will say this, not everybody's
1:13:32
Speaker 3: like Donald Trump. And and look, there are some people
1:13:34
Speaker 3: that could live to one hundred and they could be
1:13:36
Speaker 3: of incredibly sound mind that we've seen that happen before.
1:13:40
Speaker 3: But but overwhelmingly, most people when they get into their eighties,
1:13:44
Speaker 3: they're not there. They're not all there. And I'm not
1:13:47
Speaker 3: sure I want those people making very important life and
1:13:51
Speaker 3: depth decisions for the for the rest of the country. Anthony,
1:13:54

1:16:21
Speaker 3: as I mentioned yesterday, some pretty major news coming out
1:16:26
Speaker 3: of Tennessee's ninth congressional district that has been redistricted in
1:16:31
Speaker 3: favor of Republicans, and this will be an additional seat,
1:16:37
Speaker 3: an added seat for the Republicans. Up on Capitol Hill yesterday,
1:16:41
Speaker 3: President Trump coming in and announcing that he has personally
1:16:45
Speaker 3: endorsed State Senator Brent Taylor. Senator Taylor is a longtime lawmaker,
1:16:52
Speaker 3: a very successful businessman here in the Memphis area, and
1:16:57
Speaker 3: he got the coveted endorsement from the President. Well, let's
1:17:01
Speaker 3: go to the Patriot Mobile news maker line right now
1:17:03
Speaker 3: and say hello to Senator Taylor. Senator, I understand your
1:17:06
Speaker 3: on the road campaigning, but congratulations. Tell us about the
1:17:10
Speaker 3: call you got from the President yesterday.
1:17:13
Speaker 13: Well, great, thank you, it's good to be with you again.
1:17:16
Speaker 13: I was We're actually between stops, and but we wanted
1:17:20
Speaker 13: to stop and call in and talk with you a
1:17:23
Speaker 13: little bit. So look, yesterday, yesterday, about four point thirty,
1:17:29
Speaker 13: my phone rings and I look down and it's a
1:17:32
Speaker 13: two O two area code, which I know to be Washington,
1:17:35
Speaker 13: d C. So I pick it up and I said,
1:17:37
Speaker 13: this is Brent. And the voice on the other end
1:17:41
Speaker 13: is somebody who I think you know, and it was said,
1:17:45
Speaker 13: this is Margo with the White House. Could you please
1:17:48
Speaker 13: hold for the president, and which I've I've always seen
1:17:52
Speaker 13: that movies. I've never experienced it before, and so I said, certainly.
1:17:56
Speaker 13: And the next voice I hear, Todd is a Trump
1:18:01
Speaker 13: and he says, Senator, how are you doing. I said, well,
1:18:04
Speaker 13: I'm doing better now than I was just thirty seconds
1:18:07
Speaker 13: ago before you called. He said, well, I want you
1:18:10
Speaker 13: to know I have been following your campaign. I appreciate
1:18:14
Speaker 13: everything you've done to make Memphis safe. Before I got
1:18:17
Speaker 13: the Memphis State Taste Task Force. There, you have fought crime.
1:18:21
Speaker 13: I appreciate that fight. You have fought illegal immigration in
1:18:25
Speaker 13: the state Senate. He knew of my bills that I
1:18:27
Speaker 13: had sponsored, and then he followed up and knew of
1:18:30
Speaker 13: my record of fight in China and the State Senate
1:18:32
Speaker 13: to prevent China from getting our trade secrets through funding
1:18:36
Speaker 13: of lawsuits, and so we talked about that. Then I
1:18:41
Speaker 13: took the opportunity, because I had not had it yet,
1:18:43
Speaker 13: to thank him for seeing the mephis state task Force.
1:18:46
Speaker 13: They've literally cut crime in half and Todd. He immediately
1:18:49
Speaker 13: spent the next six or seven minutes just citing the
1:18:53
Speaker 13: statistics of the reduction in crime in Memphis, New Orleans,
1:18:56
Speaker 13: and Washington, d C. In granular detail. It's amazing what
1:19:00
Speaker 13: the man knew because he had no idea that was
1:19:02
Speaker 13: the direction the call was going to go. And he
1:19:05
Speaker 13: mentioned that Speaker Johnson, who has also endorsed me, was
1:19:09
Speaker 13: in the Oval office with him, and I told the President.
1:19:12
Speaker 13: I said, mister President, I don't know anything about being
1:19:15
Speaker 13: a congressman, but I know two things. I want to
1:19:17
Speaker 13: be a congressman and I want Mike Johnson to be
1:19:20
Speaker 13: Speaker of the House. And the President let out of
1:19:23
Speaker 13: belly laugh and he said, you will fit in. Just
1:19:25
Speaker 13: find up here in Washington, d C. So it was
1:19:29
Speaker 13: quite an event, and I'm so very appreciative of President
1:19:32
Speaker 13: Trump recognizing my fight in the State Senate and willing
1:19:35
Speaker 13: to give me an enforcement.
1:19:37
Speaker 3: Well, it's it's it's been. I mean, look, it's that's
1:19:40
Speaker 3: the gold standard right there. And a lot of people
1:19:43
Speaker 3: have been after that endorsement. This is a four person
1:19:48
Speaker 3: race right now. And of course last night we held
1:19:50
Speaker 3: a debate. Senator, I gotta tell you it is. This
1:19:54
Speaker 3: is an ugly, ugly Republican primary, and you have actually
1:19:59
Speaker 3: been above the fray, I think, and during yesterday's debate
1:20:02
Speaker 3: it was three on one, but you held your own
1:20:05
Speaker 3: last night.
1:20:07
Speaker 13: Well, I appreciate that when you when I have a
1:20:10
Speaker 13: record of fighting against crime and fighting illegal immigration and
1:20:14
Speaker 13: fighting China, and I've got a record, it's easy to
1:20:17
Speaker 13: stay above the fray. Look the other candidates, they have
1:20:22
Speaker 13: played nice up until that Trump endorsement came out. And
1:20:24
Speaker 13: then the knives came out. And the White House warned
1:20:29
Speaker 13: me about that. They said, if you are to get
1:20:32
Speaker 13: the Trump endorsement, two things are going to happen. One,
1:20:34
Speaker 13: your fundraising will pick up because everybody wants to give
1:20:37
Speaker 13: to a winner. And then the second thing that will
1:20:39
Speaker 13: happen is the knives will come out and people will
1:20:42
Speaker 13: be coming after you. And I told the White House
1:20:45
Speaker 13: that I've been at this a long time, and I
1:20:48
Speaker 13: welcomed the challenge. And that's exactly what happened. And you
1:20:51
Speaker 13: know it happens. This is not my first campaign, and
1:20:56
Speaker 13: I have always prevailed in these types of races.
1:20:59
Speaker 3: So one of the uglier things that I have to
1:21:01
Speaker 3: ask you about this senator, this story out of media
1:21:05
Speaker 3: Ie we had there was a caller, a lady called
1:21:07
Speaker 3: in and made some unfounded, I guess allegations. She never
1:21:15
Speaker 3: mentioned anyone's name, but Mediaite and some of the other
1:21:18
Speaker 3: national news organizations insinuated that she was referring to you
1:21:23
Speaker 3: allegations involving some sort of a sexual assault or something
1:21:28
Speaker 3: that may have happened in Oklahoma at a LA legislative session.
1:21:33
Speaker 3: Anything you can share with us about that. Do you
1:21:36
Speaker 3: know this person? Do you know what she was talking about?
1:21:40
Speaker 13: I have no idea what she was talking about. I
1:21:42
Speaker 13: don't even know fod how you even respond to something
1:21:45
Speaker 13: that that's just made up. But I think it's disgusting.
1:21:49
Speaker 13: It's disgusting to use made up criminal allegations to put
1:21:55
Speaker 13: you know, me, my family, my wife through that kind
1:21:59
Speaker 13: of thing. And in fact, within twenty four hours, national
1:22:01
Speaker 13: media organizations had already debunked it.
1:22:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I mean again, and we were able to
1:22:07
Speaker 3: track down the individual who made the call. That individual
1:22:11
Speaker 3: has connections, very close connections to one of your primary opponents.
1:22:17
Speaker 13: Well that look, my primary opponents. They're desperate in this race.
1:22:22
Speaker 13: They want to attack President Trump's pick. President Trumps in
1:22:28
Speaker 13: his call yesterday he said, I want you to help
1:22:31
Speaker 13: me carry my legislation to put America First. I need
1:22:36
Speaker 13: your help in DC. And they are upset that he
1:22:40
Speaker 13: has endorsed me over their candidacies. And look, some of
1:22:44
Speaker 13: the candidates, they have tried their best to align themselves
1:22:46
Speaker 13: with Trump, to the point of even wearing Trump costumes
1:22:51
Speaker 13: to try to get his attention for the endorsement. And
1:22:54
Speaker 13: now they're desperate. Early voting starts Friday, election days, and
1:22:59
Speaker 13: you know the two weeks and so desperate campaigns now
1:23:03
Speaker 13: are just attempting to smear me and and anybody in
1:23:07
Speaker 13: my orbit.
1:23:08
Speaker 3: Well, it's it's not right. I don't care who you are,
1:23:11
Speaker 3: you know, and we've we've seen this happen. Usually it's
1:23:14
Speaker 3: the Democrats doing it to the Republicans. It was just
1:23:17
Speaker 3: a shock to see really a shoddy attempt by Republicans
1:23:21
Speaker 3: to try to do something like that. They've also accused
1:23:26
Speaker 3: you and I this is perhaps I've never heard of this.
1:23:30
Speaker 3: They've accused you of being a fake redneck. They're saying
1:23:33
Speaker 3: you're you're not really a Southern guy. Your accent sounds
1:23:37
Speaker 3: pretty authentic to me, Senator.
1:23:40
Speaker 13: Well, I appreciate. I don't know even how to respond
1:23:43
Speaker 13: to being a fake redneck. I can tell you growing up,
1:23:47
Speaker 13: I had a Toyota four wheel drive extra cab with
1:23:51
Speaker 13: a Warner winch and uh with AstroTurf in the bed
1:23:56
Speaker 13: and uh. So I grew up in the building supply business,
1:24:00
Speaker 13: Totin Totin lumber and Totin sheet rock. And so I'm
1:24:04
Speaker 13: not even sure what a real redneck is, but I
1:24:08
Speaker 13: probably would have fit that definition.
1:24:11
Speaker 3: State Senator Brent Taylor, who just got the novel, who
1:24:15
Speaker 3: just got the endorsement of President Donald J. Trump for
1:24:18
Speaker 3: the ninth Congressional district race. Senator, when when you look
1:24:22
Speaker 3: at the big issues, one of them, of course, is
1:24:24
Speaker 3: the Save America Act. The other is immigration and illegal immigration.
1:24:29
Speaker 3: Where do you stand on the illegal immigration issue? Do
1:24:33
Speaker 3: they all need to go? Do some need to go?
1:24:36
Speaker 3: Where where do you stand?
1:24:39
Speaker 13: I believe if you are here illegally, you need to
1:24:43
Speaker 13: go back, and if you have committed crimes, you don't
1:24:46
Speaker 13: need to have an opportunity to reapply to come back
1:24:49
Speaker 13: into our country. Moreover, I will go even further than
1:24:53
Speaker 13: I believe my primary opponents, and that is that I
1:24:58
Speaker 13: believe we need to have a pause on legal immigration.
1:25:01
Speaker 13: We have more foreign born people in the United States
1:25:04
Speaker 13: today than we've ever had our history. And we have
1:25:08
Speaker 13: done this in the past when in the early nineteen hundreds,
1:25:11
Speaker 13: when there were a huge influx of Irish and Italian immigrants,
1:25:18
Speaker 13: the government finally put a moratorium on all immigration to
1:25:23
Speaker 13: allow those people to assimilate, to become Americans. And then
1:25:28
Speaker 13: once they have assimilated, then we can match our visa
1:25:32
Speaker 13: program to areas where we need that type of foreign labor.
1:25:37
Speaker 13: And we have too many people in this country that
1:25:40
Speaker 13: are not assimilating and it's destroying our Western civilization, and
1:25:44
Speaker 13: so we need to send all the illegals back, and
1:25:48
Speaker 13: we need a pause in our legal immigration because America
1:25:53
Speaker 13: needs some me time, and during this meantime we can
1:25:56
Speaker 13: let those that have come here legally fully assimilate into
1:25:59
Speaker 13: the American culture.
1:26:01
Speaker 14: Yeah.
1:26:01
Speaker 3: No, I like that, and I think that is something
1:26:04
Speaker 3: that is incredibly necessary until we can get to handle
1:26:07
Speaker 3: on all of this. You know, the other big issue
1:26:10
Speaker 3: H one B visas, and I know some of your
1:26:12
Speaker 3: opponents in the Republican primary a little squishy on that
1:26:16
Speaker 3: particular issue. I know that's really been impacting a lot
1:26:20
Speaker 3: of folks and not just the nation, but especially in
1:26:24
Speaker 3: Western Tennessee. Where do you fall on the H one
1:26:27
Speaker 3: B visa program.
1:26:29
Speaker 13: Well, just what I said, I think we need to
1:26:31
Speaker 13: have a pause on all immigration and allow the people
1:26:37
Speaker 13: that are here legally to assimilate into American culture. And
1:26:42
Speaker 13: once we have done that, and if we find we
1:26:45
Speaker 13: have labor shortages that we don't have enough Americans to
1:26:49
Speaker 13: feel those jobs, then we can look at importing labor.
1:26:53
Speaker 13: But look, everyone wants to come to the United States
1:26:55
Speaker 13: and have a better life, and I can fully appreciate that.
1:26:58
Speaker 13: I want them to have a better life, but they
1:27:00
Speaker 13: need to have a better life than their country. And
1:27:03
Speaker 13: this is our country and we get to decide and
1:27:06
Speaker 13: when people enter it. And so I'm like I said,
1:27:11
Speaker 13: all the illegals need to go back to their home country,
1:27:15
Speaker 13: and those that are here legally that have applied for
1:27:18
Speaker 13: citizenship or have become citizens. Obviously they get to stay
1:27:21
Speaker 13: until hey, such time that they can assimilate. But look,
1:27:25
Speaker 13: when you have entire areas of large American cities that
1:27:30
Speaker 13: they don't speak English, they don't fly the American flag,
1:27:32
Speaker 13: they fly the flag of their home country, they have
1:27:37
Speaker 13: not fully assimilated. I heard President Vice President Advance the
1:27:41
Speaker 13: other day said that somebody came up here up to
1:27:44
Speaker 13: him that was here legally and said, y'all, the administration
1:27:49
Speaker 13: should not cut off this foreign aid because my country
1:27:53
Speaker 13: needs that aid. And Vice President of Advance was like,
1:27:56
Speaker 13: what do you mean your country. You're an American, this
1:27:59
Speaker 13: is your country. You should be concerned about our country,
1:28:01
Speaker 13: not where you came from. That's the issue. That's why
1:28:04
Speaker 13: America needs some me time.
1:28:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Senator, we're gonna leave it there. We
1:28:09
Speaker 3: appreciate you joining us today. Thank you for asking answering
1:28:13
Speaker 3: the hard questions. Pretty disgusting what they trying to do
1:28:17
Speaker 3: with you. It's an ugly smear, but you know what,
1:28:19
Speaker 3: You're over the target, and I think that's why folks
1:28:22
Speaker 3: are coming after you. But again, congratulations on the big
1:28:26
Speaker 3: endorsement from President Trump.
1:28:29
Speaker 13: Well, thank you, and just keep in mind Todd no
1:28:31

1:28:50
Speaker 3: for both of you guys in the House of Representatives.
1:28:53
Speaker 13: Well, i'll tell you Tim and I will work together
1:28:57
Speaker 13: once we get past this election, and particularly all these
1:29:01

Speaker 18: That was way back.
1:30:00
Speaker 3: Ears. What is it, Pat?
1:30:04
Speaker 12: You got turtles?
1:30:07
Speaker 3: Turtles? Turtles as in the little critters that have the
1:30:10
Speaker 3: shells and the soft underbelly.
1:30:14
Speaker 16: No, they were in the mall.
1:30:16
Speaker 3: Oh turtles, you go. Yes, I vaguely recalled, tell me
1:30:22
Speaker 3: about turtles. I vaguely recall that that that store. Tell
1:30:26
Speaker 3: me about it.
1:30:28
Speaker 1: Yes, it was.
1:30:29
Speaker 3: It was like and you uh you uh.
1:30:38
Speaker 18: Records or something records.
1:30:40
Speaker 3: It was a record store. Wow, that was and you
1:30:45

1:30:50
Speaker 3: bring back a story, that's what you would bring back.
1:30:53
Speaker 3: Oh well, Pat, thank you for calling in. I completely
1:30:58
Speaker 3: forgot about turtles. Dylan, I hate I know you're a
1:31:00
Speaker 3: big music guy, and you would have loved growing up
1:31:04
Speaker 3: in my my era because we had so many record stores,
1:31:08
Speaker 3: the vinyl, the whole nine yards.
1:31:10
Speaker 4: It's that I mean in the music. My taste of
1:31:12
Speaker 4: music is that era, seventies and eighties.
1:31:15
Speaker 3: Oh it's well, Tower, I wouldn't I wonder if they
1:31:17
Speaker 3: ever had a Tower Records in Memphis. But the one
1:31:20
Speaker 3: in in Sacramento was huge and it was always packed.
1:31:25
Speaker 3: Of course they went belly up, and that was so
1:31:29
Speaker 3: sad because they really were a wonderful, wonderful record store.
1:31:32
Speaker 3: They also had Tower Books, which was also excellent, so
1:31:35
Speaker 3: they did some good work over there. Most of them
1:31:38
Speaker 3: were on drugs.
1:31:39
Speaker 4: But you know, well you have to be.
1:31:41
Speaker 3: It kind of goes with the makes the music sound apparently.
1:31:44
Speaker 3: So let's go to John in Georgia. John, what's on
1:31:49
Speaker 3: your mind?
1:31:51
Speaker 20: Are you doing?
1:31:52
Speaker 3: God good? What's up?
1:31:54
Speaker 20: John?
1:31:56
Speaker 18: I swung the comment on first on the age limit
1:32:01
Speaker 18: for Congress. I think should be sixty five. And if
1:32:05
Speaker 18: we could get term limits like two for the Senate
1:32:09
Speaker 18: and four for Congress, then we wouldn't have to worry
1:32:12
Speaker 18: about it.
1:32:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, fair enough, fair enough.
1:32:17
Speaker 18: And then also he's talking about Schumer possibly breaking wind.
1:32:23
Speaker 18: As far as I'm concerned, every time he helms his
1:32:25
Speaker 18: mouth he sounds like he's breaking.
1:32:28
Speaker 3: Very very well. Said he could use an altoid, is
1:32:31
Speaker 3: what you're saying. John, Thank you for that great visual.
1:32:37
Speaker 3: We appreciate it. We have the video. You know, he
1:32:42
Speaker 3: didn't he didn't miss a step. He does let that
1:32:46
Speaker 3: sucker rip.
1:32:47
Speaker 4: He almost acknowledged it. You can tell he had a
1:32:49
Speaker 4: little giggle, Yeah, almost.
1:32:52
Speaker 3: Just to Smith, just to smidch.
1:32:53
Speaker 4: You couldn't know. You can't acknowledge something like that.
1:32:56
Speaker 3: No, no, you see, this is why I can't do
1:32:58
Speaker 3: politics in DC. I'd be on the floor. I'd be
1:33:03
Speaker 3: rushing up with a as Matt gear. All right, nine
1:33:07
Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six hour
1:33:10
Speaker 3: telephone number. This is the Todd Starns Show. All right,
1:33:33
Speaker 3: welcome back to the Todd Starns Radio Show. Great to
1:33:35
Speaker 3: have you with us today. I want to go to
1:33:38
Speaker 3: the Patriot Mobile news maker line and say hello to
1:33:40
Speaker 3: our dear friend, the Queen of talk radio, Mary Walter. Mary,
1:33:45
Speaker 3: how are you today?
1:33:47
Speaker 6: I'm good?
1:33:47
Speaker 24: How are you?
1:33:48
Speaker 6: My friend?
1:33:49
Speaker 3: You know I'm good. It's uh yeah. It's sort of
1:33:52
Speaker 3: a Hodgeponge of weird stories today, but the one that
1:33:55
Speaker 3: really combined attention and this is just weird. But gen
1:33:59
Speaker 3: Zers are now going back to the shopping malls you
1:34:02
Speaker 3: know of our ute. I said, they're going back, really,
1:34:06
Speaker 3: and they're saying some sixty percent of the purchases made
1:34:09
Speaker 3: by gen Z are being made in person as opposed
1:34:13
Speaker 3: to online now, and that got us into a conversation
1:34:16
Speaker 3: about what what stores do you miss? Would you bring
1:34:20
Speaker 3: back from your childhood? You know, as you know, growing
1:34:23
Speaker 3: up in Jersey, did you guys do the malls? There?
1:34:26
Speaker 3: Was that a big thing for you guys.
1:34:28
Speaker 6: New Jersey had more malls per capita than any other state.
1:34:31
Speaker 16: We're the mall state. Yeah, we have tons of malls.
1:34:35
Speaker 16: That's why they didn't even make about a movie about
1:34:38
Speaker 16: mall about kids hanging out in the mall in New Jersey.
1:34:40
Speaker 16: Kevin Smith maybe, but yeah, it was.
1:34:42
Speaker 6: It was a big thing.
1:34:43
Speaker 16: But see, my parents, because I grew up in a
1:34:46
Speaker 16: rural area. To get to a mall, because of where
1:34:49
Speaker 16: I grew up, your parents had to drive. It was.
1:34:51
Speaker 16: It was easily half an hour away. But if you
1:34:54
Speaker 16: lived in a more populated area, you had several malls from.
1:34:56
Speaker 6: Which to hang out at. So I did not hang
1:34:59
Speaker 6: out when I was a kid.
1:35:00
Speaker 16: When I was older, in my twenties and I could,
1:35:04
Speaker 16: you know, even high school, when I could drive and
1:35:06
Speaker 16: go to the mall. Then I started going to the mall,
1:35:08
Speaker 16: but I'd have to drive half an hour to get there.
1:35:10
Speaker 16: But yeah, the stores. Did you guys have Spencer Goods?
1:35:13
Speaker 16: I love Spencer Goods because it was like forbidden fruit
1:35:15
Speaker 16: in there. I was supposed to be going in there.
1:35:19
Speaker 16: My mother'd be like, don't go into Spencer. I'm like, okay, right,
1:35:22
Speaker 16: And so of course we went into Spencer good because
1:35:24
Speaker 16: were told not to go in there. So yeah, Spencer,
1:35:26
Speaker 16: Spencer was good. Cinnabon, I would bring back the Cenemam.
1:35:28
Speaker 16: We don't have a cinnabon for miles here. There's no
1:35:31
Speaker 16: such thing here anymore.
1:35:32
Speaker 3: Gone did Spencer's Are they the ones that had the
1:35:34
Speaker 3: lava lamps?
1:35:35
Speaker 6: Yeah, Spencer gifts.
1:35:36
Speaker 3: Got yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah, and there was So
1:35:40
Speaker 3: I was the nerd. So I was like b Dalton
1:35:42
Speaker 3: Bookstore or Walden Books.
1:35:46
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, of course.
1:35:47
Speaker 3: And maybe the Orange Julius.
1:35:50
Speaker 6: I never got there. I never dug Orange Julius at all.
1:35:53
Speaker 6: I was not into that. Didn't like that at all.
1:35:56
Speaker 6: I was not a big food court kind of girl.
1:35:58
Speaker 6: None of us were.
1:35:59
Speaker 16: We were not hang out in the food court kind
1:36:01
Speaker 16: of people. And maybe because we were a little bit older.
1:36:03
Speaker 16: Becausehen we were younger, it was really hard to get
1:36:05
Speaker 16: to the mall. So when I was older and could drive,
1:36:11
Speaker 16: it wasn't a super big thing in high school just
1:36:13
Speaker 16: because we never did it because it was.
1:36:15
Speaker 6: So far away.
1:36:17
Speaker 16: But when I was in college and when I was older,
1:36:19
Speaker 16: and you could go to the mall and go with
1:36:21
Speaker 16: the girls and go shopping and that kind of thing.
1:36:23
Speaker 3: Then we did it.
1:36:24
Speaker 6: Then we hung out a little bit more.
1:36:25
Speaker 16: So I'm a little weird in that sense that I
1:36:28
Speaker 16: had an under also didn't have fast food when I
1:36:30
Speaker 16: was a kid either.
1:36:31
Speaker 6: We didn't have fast food restaurants really.
1:36:33
Speaker 3: So I remember the day they opened the very first
1:36:36
Speaker 3: McDonald's in our town. It was like a huge thing,
1:36:39
Speaker 3: you know, and that was that was like a big deal.
1:36:41
Speaker 3: Everybody came out, had the big ribbon cutting and you know,
1:36:43
Speaker 3: everybody was, you know, doing McDonald's back in the day.
1:36:46
Speaker 16: Well, I grew up in a village and it was
1:36:48
Speaker 16: officially a village and there were like two restaurants, but
1:36:52
Speaker 16: they were in someone like well, there was one restaurant.
1:36:54
Speaker 16: I guess it was a pizzeria, but it was in
1:36:56
Speaker 16: someone's house. Like so it was the first floor of
1:36:58
Speaker 16: the house, like the dining room, the living room, you know,
1:37:02
Speaker 16: that's where you sat and ate the front hall like
1:37:04
Speaker 16: they would put tables around. That's that was our But
1:37:08
Speaker 16: we so we didn't have any kind to get to
1:37:11
Speaker 16: fast food. We had to get drive like twenty minutes
1:37:14
Speaker 16: and we had a Stewart's root Beer, which was amazing.
1:37:17
Speaker 6: Stuart's.
1:37:17
Speaker 16: You know, they come and they put the thing on
1:37:18
Speaker 16: the window, you know, so that was awesome. Oh yeah,
1:37:20
Speaker 16: and you never you don't, you don't know Stuart's Stewart's
1:37:23
Speaker 16: re Beer.
1:37:24
Speaker 3: No, I'm familiar with Stewart's root beer is. But were
1:37:27
Speaker 3: they like a drive through or a drive in?
1:37:30
Speaker 6: They were a.
1:37:31
Speaker 16: Drive in restaurant chain, and there was one up the
1:37:33
Speaker 16: street from me here for the longest time and it
1:37:35
Speaker 16: closed recently.
1:37:36
Speaker 6: But you would go and they would come out and
1:37:37
Speaker 6: they put the food on the.
1:37:38
Speaker 16: Tray on the car window, like back in the old days.
1:37:41
Speaker 16: And my father hated it because we'd always make a
1:37:43
Speaker 16: mess in the car and he would get so mad,
1:37:45
Speaker 16: so we hated taking us there. But they had really
1:37:48
Speaker 16: good root beer and good hot dogs and their food
1:37:50
Speaker 16: was actually pretty good. We had that, and then they
1:37:52
Speaker 16: built a Gino's in the same parking lot as Stuart's.
1:37:56
Speaker 3: I'm not.
1:38:00
Speaker 16: You know, was like an early fast food place. It
1:38:03
Speaker 16: was you know, hamburgers, you could get salads. That's where
1:38:07
Speaker 16: we would go in high school when we could because
1:38:09
Speaker 16: we could go out to lunch.
1:38:11
Speaker 6: So you could either go to Stuart's or you could
1:38:13
Speaker 6: go to Geno's.
1:38:13
Speaker 14: That was it.
1:38:14
Speaker 3: So Dylan turned your Mica on because we had a
1:38:16
Speaker 3: little bit of news. We we are in East Memphis,
1:38:20
Speaker 3: which is where our studios are located, and there's a
1:38:22
Speaker 3: parcel of land that used to be the Windy's but
1:38:25
Speaker 3: they tore down the Windy's and they're building a sonic
1:38:29
Speaker 3: drive through. Just so Mary, if you ever come to
1:38:33
Speaker 3: our palatial studios, we could actually drive just drive over
1:38:37
Speaker 3: in three seconds, and we could actually have food delivered
1:38:41
Speaker 3: to us at our vehicle.
1:38:43
Speaker 6: Oh, so they do the same thing. So it's the
1:38:44
Speaker 6: same thing. They put it on the window and the car.
1:38:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get a dirty s.
1:38:49
Speaker 16: And as an adult when I have to clean the
1:38:51
Speaker 16: car as it is when I was a kid and
1:38:53
Speaker 16: didn't have to clean the car.
1:38:54
Speaker 4: Dylan, what were you telling Mary since she could get
1:38:57
Speaker 4: a dirty soda if she wanted to.
1:39:00
Speaker 6: Oh, isn't a dirty soda like the Mormon thing?
1:39:03
Speaker 12: Right?
1:39:03
Speaker 6: Isn't that like the thing now? And they contain like
1:39:05
Speaker 6: nine hundred calories.
1:39:06
Speaker 4: Yes, but no, it hads like ice cream in it.
1:39:09
Speaker 4: It's like Doctor Pepper.
1:39:11
Speaker 6: It's so it's an ice cream soda.
1:39:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's called dirty soda.
1:39:16
Speaker 6: No, it's called an ice cream soda.
1:39:18
Speaker 4: Whatever. Wow, we're having a sonic.
1:39:21
Speaker 16: Just because your generation just discovered it doesn't mean that
1:39:24
Speaker 16: you get to rename it and expect all of history
1:39:26
Speaker 16: before you to just just cowtow to your new language.
1:39:30
Speaker 6: It's an ice cream soda.
1:39:31
Speaker 4: I think we have beef black and white.
1:39:33
Speaker 6: It's a black and white.
1:39:34
Speaker 4: Okay, it's very good. That's all that I know. And
1:39:38
Speaker 4: Sonic sells them, so I think that's what I mean.
1:39:40
Speaker 3: That's what I'm feeling really uncomfortable right now.
1:39:42
Speaker 2: Me too.
1:39:43
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's just the whole mood has changed.
1:39:46
Speaker 6: It's an ice cream soda stop.
1:39:48
Speaker 3: By the way. Well, one final note on this. We
1:39:50
Speaker 3: used to when I was a kid, we had something
1:39:52
Speaker 3: called frost Stop, which I think was very similar to
1:39:54
Speaker 3: what you're explained. It was like a big the logo
1:39:57
Speaker 3: was like a huge giant mug of root beer, and
1:40:01
Speaker 3: you could drive in and they had these little things
1:40:03
Speaker 3: and a waitress would come out and take your order
1:40:06
Speaker 3: in your car and then go and get you your burgers,
1:40:08
Speaker 3: and you would do a root beer float, so you
1:40:11
Speaker 3: would have the ice cream in the root beer in
1:40:13
Speaker 3: the in the frosty mug. Right, those are the old Dace.
1:40:18
Speaker 3: Those were the same thing.
1:40:19
Speaker 6: We did have an ice place in town. We had that.
1:40:21
Speaker 16: We could also go to the pizzeria to eat too
1:40:24
Speaker 16: during at lunch, but we also had an ice cream
1:40:26
Speaker 16: place in town the Country Carnival and what I could
1:40:30
Speaker 16: it was literally in a in a dirt and stone
1:40:34
Speaker 16: parking lot, graveled parking lot, and you just had to
1:40:37
Speaker 16: stand there because they had like two picnic tables.
1:40:39
Speaker 3: Those that fascinating.
1:40:42
Speaker 6: We have a lot of options. There were like no
1:40:43
Speaker 6: ice cream, sodas or anything like that.
1:40:45
Speaker 3: Mary Walter joining us on our Patriot, Well we'll use
1:40:48
Speaker 3: maker line. We're just kind of chilling today. But Mary,
1:40:51
Speaker 3: there is an interesting story out of the out of
1:40:56
Speaker 3: the the the across the Big Pond. So it's not
1:41:00
Speaker 3: I was saying the Far East, but it's really Europe.
1:41:03
Speaker 3: The Europe.
1:41:04
Speaker 6: You've got to stop before you hit the Far East.
1:41:06
Speaker 3: That's where it is. Slam on the brakes before you
1:41:09
Speaker 3: get there. The European Broadcasting Union has made an announcement
1:41:14
Speaker 3: They are releasing new guidelines for photographing women's athletic coverage
1:41:20
Speaker 3: and all this applies to photographers as well as videographers,
1:41:24
Speaker 3: and they are now warning the broadcasters against lingering shots
1:41:30
Speaker 3: of female athletes bodies, low camera angles that capture revealing views,
1:41:36
Speaker 3: and slow motion replays that offer very little technical or
1:41:40
Speaker 3: storytelling value. They're saying that these broadcasters are sexualizing female athletes.
1:41:46
Speaker 3: What say you?
1:41:48
Speaker 6: Okay, Well, first of all, I cannot proceed any further
1:41:51
Speaker 6: until I know what a woman is. Do they define that?
1:41:53
Speaker 16: Because if they do not define what a woman is,
1:41:56
Speaker 16: you know, because if you don't want to be able
1:41:58
Speaker 16: to see, you know, the sticks and berries, then maybe
1:42:02
Speaker 16: we should define what a woman is first.
1:42:04
Speaker 6: If that's what they find offensive. Listen, women's athletic outfits,
1:42:09
Speaker 6: sexualized women in sports.
1:42:11
Speaker 16: So I mean, does this just the next logical step?
1:42:16
Speaker 16: I mean, yeah, that's the only reason men watch women's sports. Well,
1:42:19
Speaker 16: you know it's sexualized.
1:42:21
Speaker 3: Well keep in mind if you've ever watched an NFL game, Dylan,
1:42:24
Speaker 3: I know you're a big sports guy, but when there
1:42:26
Speaker 3: is not a play, you know, the camera guys are
1:42:29
Speaker 3: scanning the crowd and they're not getting images of slobs, right,
1:42:34
Speaker 3: They're getting images of like sports illustrated swimsuit models.
1:42:38
Speaker 4: This is true. Yeah, yeah, you gotta have something else
1:42:41
Speaker 4: to watch while you're not watching sports, right.
1:42:45
Speaker 3: That's why.
1:42:48
Speaker 16: It's kind of like the only reason Like if I
1:42:50
Speaker 16: watch football, if I'm forced to watch a football game,
1:42:52
Speaker 16: I'm just watching for like the tight pants and the
1:42:54
Speaker 16: cute butts.
1:42:55
Speaker 6: You know, And or if I have to watch soccer,
1:42:59
Speaker 6: I'm just looking for the hot eyes.
1:43:02
Speaker 4: And everyone speaks. So everyone's being sexualized, whether or not
1:43:06
Speaker 4: you know, hide pants or if you're.
1:43:08
Speaker 16: Gonna force me, if you're gonna force me to watch
1:43:09
Speaker 16: the sport that I don't want to watch, at least
1:43:11
Speaker 16: I'm gonna enjoy it somehow.
1:43:12
Speaker 3: Except for the w n B A. And I notice
1:43:14
Speaker 3: they always do the wide camera shots and we don't.
1:43:17
Speaker 3: There's no big close ups there in the w.
1:43:20
Speaker 11: N b A.
1:43:23
Speaker 6: Well that Sophie Cunningham's pretty hot.
1:43:24
Speaker 16: She was a ring girl at the Oh well yeah,
1:43:27
Speaker 16: w w W what is w w E or something
1:43:30
Speaker 16: like that with Dana White.
1:43:32
Speaker 6: She was a ring girl. She's pretty hot.
1:43:34
Speaker 3: Who is the one? Is she the one that was
1:43:35
Speaker 3: the pointer?
1:43:36
Speaker 4: Yes? The point?
1:43:38
Speaker 3: Get the pointer? Okay, I'm I'm I don't watch the
1:43:40
Speaker 3: w n B A that much. So then, and they
1:43:43
Speaker 3: probably don't do the up close of the Russian shot
1:43:46
Speaker 3: put women. Those are some sturdy gals.
1:43:49
Speaker 6: I think that's where we need the definition of women
1:43:51
Speaker 6: would come in handy.
1:43:52
Speaker 3: That's a fair point. Oh my goodness, Mary Walter. And
1:43:57

1:47:00
Speaker 16: us know not to do it in front of a microphone,

1:47:40
Speaker 3: This is the Todd start show. Oh boy, did you
1:47:58
Speaker 3: guys hear about Ron Man Dommy? He disappeared the Italians,
1:48:04
Speaker 3: Irish and the Jews.
1:48:06
Speaker 11: You do that.
1:48:08
Speaker 3: This guy is insane. So they put out this big
1:48:11
Speaker 3: map highlighting and this is all because of the FIFA workup.
1:48:15
Speaker 3: When Dylan, when does all of this end?
1:48:18
Speaker 4: Pretty soon? Actually? I think before the end of July.
1:48:20
Speaker 3: It's like longer than the NBA playoffs. It just goes
1:48:24
Speaker 3: on and on and on.
1:48:25
Speaker 4: It only happens every four years, So they have to
1:48:27
Speaker 4: drag it out.
1:48:28
Speaker 3: Man. It's like, and we got the German guy still
1:48:31
Speaker 3: driving around. Freddy has that gotten old?
1:48:34
Speaker 4: Yeah it has He had his moment.
1:48:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, it's time for you to go home,
1:48:39
Speaker 3: Freddy Donkee's shirt or whatever. Anyway. Uh So, man DOMI
1:48:46
Speaker 3: put out this map for the World Cup, and uh
1:48:49
Speaker 3: they list all of the well, all of the different
1:48:53
Speaker 3: you know, ethnic communities, I guess in New York City,
1:48:58
Speaker 3: and they left off little Italy. They left they kept
1:49:02
Speaker 3: in Chinatown, but they put in like they left out
1:49:06
Speaker 3: Little Italy, also in the Bronx, which has a massive
1:49:09
Speaker 3: Italian population, and Dylan. Then they left off the Irish,
1:49:14
Speaker 3: and they left off the Greeks. Are you following a
1:49:18
Speaker 3: trend here? Yes, any of the European nations were erased.
1:49:23
Speaker 3: Meanwhile they were promoting like neighborhoods like little Africa, Little Somalia,
1:49:29
Speaker 3: little Uh there was another little little Palestine. I had
1:49:34
Speaker 3: no idea there was such a neighborhood me either.
1:49:37
Speaker 4: And I love little Italy. Little Italy is like the
1:49:39
Speaker 4: best thing ever in New York.
1:49:41
Speaker 3: So people are going nuts over this, and of course
1:49:43
Speaker 3: all of the Italians and UH are just up in
1:49:48
Speaker 3: arms the mayor blamed the previous administration and says that
1:49:52
Speaker 3: he will, uh, he will actually redo the the the
1:49:57
Speaker 3: immigrant neighborhood map. So they oh, they had a little
1:50:02
Speaker 3: little Pakistan and Little Yemen, but no Little Italy, which
1:50:07
Speaker 3: is actually a very large neighborhood. You know, it's interesting.
1:50:09
Speaker 3: Not many Italians actually live in Little Italy anymore, nobody
1:50:12
Speaker 3: can afford it. But they still got the nice restaurants.
1:50:14
Speaker 3: What are you gonna do? New Yorkers very upset about
1:50:20
Speaker 3: all of this. Many are saying that it is just
1:50:23
Speaker 3: a slap and oh they had a little Bangladesh.
1:50:29
Speaker 4: Is this Disney World?
1:50:31
Speaker 3: Why don't yeah, why don't why? Why why doesn't the
1:50:35
Speaker 3: mayor just come out and say, all you white people
1:50:38
Speaker 3: don't matter anymore. So if you came from Europe anywhere
1:50:42
Speaker 3: over it, you are not welcome. And of course the
1:50:45
Speaker 3: Jews are not welcome at all, because there were no
1:50:48
Speaker 3: Jewish neighborhoods listed. And by the way, Williamsburg, which is
1:50:52
Speaker 3: like this, it was back in the day. It was
1:50:53
Speaker 3: a hot hipster enclay, back when hipster was a word.
1:50:57
Speaker 3: It was a hot hipster enclay. But what was so
1:50:59
Speaker 3: funny about that neighborhood. It was also home to a
1:51:03
Speaker 3: massive Orthodox Jewish population, and it was quite the scene.
1:51:08
Speaker 3: You know, you go over there and it's just it's
1:51:10
Speaker 3: almost like you're in a different country. So anyway, there
1:51:15
Speaker 3: you have it, Ladies and gentlemen, So our condolences to
1:51:17
Speaker 3: the Irish and the Italians and the Jews. Good luck,
1:51:21
Speaker 3: good luck to you. They're getting back up on the map.
