  Speaker 1: Well, live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: It's America's favorite gun toting, bible clinging deplorable America.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: That's American.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Todd starts, well there.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Well, Absalam malayka America. Wow, what a story coming out
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: of Michigan today. Hello, everybody, welcome, Welcome to the Todd
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Sterns Radio program. So, just moments ago, the numbers coming in.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: It's taken them a very long time to count the
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: ballots there in Michigan. I think they were actually rating
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: waiting on the Detroit vote. But it looks like that
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: they've officially got a winner here. And he's a pretty
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: dangerous guy. I mean, these look at this is nothing
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: more than a continuation of the leftward lurch of the
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: of the Democrat Party. So anyway, Hailey Stevens, she went
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: down to defeat. I'm kind of disappointed over that. I
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: think Melissa McCarthy would have made She would have done
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: a great job on SNL with with the Hailey Stephens impressions. Anyway,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Hailey Stevens the moderate in the race, if you can
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: call a Democratic moderate. She went down in defeat, and
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: this is a massive win for the Communists that are
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: now controlling the Democrat Party. Abdul L. Sied will be
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: their candidate for the US Senate. Mike Rogers, former congressman
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: in Michigan, he's going to be the He ran unopposed
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: in the Republican primary. Anyway, says L. Sied is way
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: too extreme for Michigan. He says, Abdul is his own
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: special sauce of crazy that coming as a reaction just
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: a little while ago. They are making it official. And look,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, this guy is a Muslim. He hates America.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: He says, America is a racist nation. By the way,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: all Abdul not a big fan of the US of A.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, this is Abdul talking about
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: how he's going to be running the race. Cut number
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: twenty six plays.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: We need Democrats who have the courage to stand up
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: to the power brokers in our own party, let alone
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Trump and his guys.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: We don't back down. We don't back down. We don't
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: back down.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: With all due respected, they go low, we don't go high.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: We take them to the mud and choke them out. Oh,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: spoken like a true Muslim. So there you go. Dual
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: L Sied, By the way, you know, these Democrats, they
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: are a violent bunch. Have you noticed that? Have you
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: picked up on that? I that they they love the violence,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: that they don't get their way?
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: What is it?
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Eric Holder had? Eric Holder said, when they go low,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: we go lower. We kick him and choke him and
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: beat him. Barack Hussein Obama. If they bring a knife
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: to the fight, we bring a gun. Nobody bothered to
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: ask all the campaign's roll except for one person. I
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: was actually there and I did ask what did he
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: mean by that? What did he mean? That would never
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: answer that question. Well, now we know. I mean, they
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: really do want to take it to all of you,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: all of you conservatives out there. So anyway, a lot
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: of people very concerned. Oh Carl Rove, you know, rarely
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: do I agree with old Carl and his whiteboard. But
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: he's got a good point here about Abdul l si
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Ed and the people that he associates with. Cut nineteen.
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: Please, but how did he close his campaign? That's a
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: very instant sightful. He spent it the day campaigning with
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: Hassan Piker, who said.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: America deserved nine to eleven.
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: If you're worried about Medicare fraudy ought to kill Senator
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: Rick Scott, a former healthcare executive. He said the Hamas
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: attack on Israel and October seventh attack was Israel's fault
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: and the use of rape by Hamas didn't quote, didn't
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: change the dynamic for him. And he then mocks he
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: has mocked Congressman Republican Congressman.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Dan Crenshaw of.
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: Texas, a decorated war hero who lost his eye in
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: a firefight in afghan He mocked him by praising the
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: guy who took his eye and tried to kill him.
• 4:39
  Speaker 7: I mean, this is how L Sied, how left wing
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: and out of touch L Sied is with sort of
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: working class, blue collar middle America Michiganders. In my opinion,
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: why this is going to be an excellent shot for
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: the Republican pickup if he wins.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: If L.
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: Saed wins the nomination tonight.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Well he did win the nomination last night, and and
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: now the Republicans in Michigan and even the Democrats in
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Michigan are going to have to make a pretty pretty
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: significant choice here. And one of the things that we've
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: been seeing around the country is a depressed Republican turnout
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: that cannot happen. You folks in Michigan are going to
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: have to step up to the plate here and you're
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: going to have to put a stump to this nonsense.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: But again, it looks as though a radical Muslim who
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: POWs around with Jihattist could be going to the US Senate.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: is our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. This is all very fascinating
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: to watch unfolded. And one of the reasons, oh, by
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the way, oh no, I want to play this audio.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: This is this is Abdul talking about America being a
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: racist nation. Cut fourteen placed on.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: The removal of a whole people.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: Founding on the idea let me pom lives on whether
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: or not people as a function of the color of
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: their skin could be enslaved about the people.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: How did.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: Under the idea that all people are created equal, all
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: men without only met certain men?
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: And now there you go. All right, So there you
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: have it, ladies and gentlemen. Hey gonna take a quick
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: break here. This is the Todd Sterns Show.
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: Half a century later, Watergate still shapes how Americans view power, scandal,
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: and trust. This weekend the America. Two fifty film series
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: presents Watergates, Secrets and Betrayals, revisit the investigation through archival footage, interviews,
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: and new arguments about what happened. Launch Saturday and Sunday
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: at seven pm Eastern on Salem News Channel.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: All Right, Democrats, man, they got sucker punched by the
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Democratic Socialist in Michigan. And this is happening all over
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the country, folks, and we are now in a situation
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I want you to just think about this because you
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: know they always say, well, you know, there's you know,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: outside of talk radio, there's really not that much of
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: a concern about socialist taking over America. You know, it's
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: just a lot of hyperbole to get people riled up,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: but it's really not ladies and gentlemen. We are looking
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: now at a major one of the two major political
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: parties being overrun, being taken over by these Democratic Socialists,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the aocs of the world. And this is why you've
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: got people like James Carvill. I'd I'm mad as hell
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: about this. That's why you have people like James Carvill
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: so riled up. And I mean he's threatening to leave
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: the Democrat Party if the Democratic Socialists completely take over.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: But if they do, they're signaling to you every single
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: thing they will do. And I thought Shannon breem Over
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: at the Fox News Channel did a terrific job over
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: the weekend on the Sunday shows really explaining what it
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: would mean if the Democratic Socialist ever gained full control.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: And we'll play some of that audio a little bit later,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: But this is a pretty serious situation for the entire nation,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: and you need to pay very close attention to this.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: You've got to get out and you've got to vote.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: And there are a lot of reasons why the vote
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: is depressed across America for on the Republican side, and
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I get it, but we've got to get out there
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: and we've got to stop these Democratic Socialists. Let's go
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: to the phone lines here. Nine oh one two six
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six Anthony and Alabama, Anthony, what's
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: on your mind today?
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: Thank you, mister Stornes for taking Mike call. And was
• 9:00
  Speaker 9: following a little of that election in the Michigan and
• 9:03
  Speaker 9: then so El Sayed or Al Sayed and Haley Stevens,
• 9:08
  Speaker 9: and I had read some comments in some articles that
• 9:11
  Speaker 9: a lot that was an open primary and a lot
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: of Republicans came out and they actually voted for l.
• 9:17
  Speaker 9: Sied because they said Mike Rodgers would have a much
• 9:21
  Speaker 9: better chance of beating him than he would the more
• 9:24
  Speaker 9: moderate Democrat because more than likely some of the Democrats
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: won't show up to even vote maybe for that L Sied.
• 9:32
  Speaker 9: But but the major issue here is how are these
• 9:35
  Speaker 9: people who hate the country, they professed to destroy it,
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: they go counter to the constitution able to even run
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: for these offices. How are they going to put their
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: hand on a Bible or in their case maybe the
• 9:50
  Speaker 9: Kouran raise the right hand and say they're going to
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: defend the Constitution in the United States and defend it
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: against all enemies born in domestic I just don't get it.
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: It's like it's a come one, come on, well.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I will, I will do my best, Anthony, m Look,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: I think ultimately, here, Anthony, the challenges these are, these
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: are this is not a religion we're talking about here
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: when when when we're talking about Islam. This is a
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: political ideology. And they are in the throes of taking
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: over the Democrat Party right now. That is a very
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: dangerous thing. These people have absolutely no allegiance to the
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: United States of America. I'll tell you there's there's growing
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: talk and growing concern about the number of foreign born
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: judges that are being appointed by by the Democrats. And
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: it does make you wonder if we need to really
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: revisit who is allowed to hold a public office, you know,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: when it comes to people that are foreign nationals. Uh,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: that's where a lot of this is coming from. So
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: the question is, you know, they're bringing their you know,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: they're bringing their value system to the United States of America,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: and instead of assimilating and embracing American culture, they're wanting
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: us to bow down and worship their culture. That's not
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: how it's supposed to working.
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: Anthony Right, And you know what, you don't You don't
• 11:13
  Speaker 9: hardly hear a peep out of the Republicans about it.
• 11:16
  Speaker 9: Where were they? It's like what they they're counting their money?
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Oh well, yes, look, look, let me explain. I was
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: I was on Fox. I was on Newsmax the other yesterday,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: and I was explaining all of this on Newsmax that
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: that the Republican Party is ready to take back control
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: from Trump. So Trump is pretty much going to be
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: a lane duck president moving forward, and especially after the
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: midterm elections. So yeah, so they're they're You're right, they
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: aren't counting their money and they got a lot of it.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: But we've got to make sure that the only way
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: to stop this because twenty twenty eight is going to
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: get very ugly. I'm afraid for Republicans. That's why we've
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: got to stop it now while we still have a chance. Anthony,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: thank you for calling in. Let's go to Memphis. Felicia
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: joining us. I'm Felicia. What's on your mind?
• 12:05
  Speaker 10: Hi, good morning, how are you.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I'm well, thank you for asking.
• 12:10
  Speaker 10: Okay, why do you think that the Democratic Socialists are winning?
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Well? I think, well, when you look at the people
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: that are coming out and voting, Felicia, I think there
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: are a lot of young people, a lot, And by
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: young people, I mean millennials and gen Z more so millennials.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: These are people that have been educated in public schools
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: for the past I guess decade, at least two decades,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: where they've been taught that the American way of life
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: is wrong, that America is to blame for the world's problems,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: and that in many instances, socialism is better than our
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: capitalists are capital the capitalism here in America?
• 12:51
  Speaker 10: Do you understand what do you think is causing the
• 12:54
  Speaker 10: So you think it's just they're taught in school that
• 12:57
  Speaker 10: socialism is better.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: I think that's a lot of it, Felicia. And I
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: think that you know, moms and dads in many cases,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: because I don't think it's coming from the home. I mean, Felicia,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: in your circle of friends, do you are people talking
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: about socialism around the dinner table to the kids?
• 13:16
  Speaker 11: No?
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think so. Yeah, me, neither's that's not happening,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: you know in my circle either. So I believe that
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: this is a case of mom and dad not really
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: paying attention to what they're teaching their kids in the
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: public school. And I think by and large, the public
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: schools in America are responsible for this massive radical change
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: in thinking.
• 13:37
  Speaker 10: Okay, you don't think it has to do more with
• 13:39
  Speaker 10: people not people using words like communism, socialism, fascism and
• 13:46
  Speaker 10: not knowing what any of those words mean, and people
• 13:48
  Speaker 10: just randomly throwing them out and attaching them to anybody
• 13:52
  Speaker 10: that disagrees with them politically.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: What do you what do you mean by that? Give me,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: give me an example of what you're referring to.
• 13:58
  Speaker 10: I mean, when you hear political discourse, people use words
• 14:04
  Speaker 10: uh flippantly, so like fascism, racism, communism, Uh. People use
• 14:13
  Speaker 10: those words interchangeably to label people they disagree with, and
• 14:20
  Speaker 10: so words lose powers. So if people use racism all
• 14:24
  Speaker 10: the time, that word has lost its power. It doesn't
• 14:28
  Speaker 10: mean anything to anyone anymore because it's used so flippantly,
• 14:32
  Speaker 10: And so you don't think that that's possibly the same
• 14:34
  Speaker 10: thing with socialism. It's lost its power because it's used
• 14:39
  Speaker 10: all of the time and people have become like like
• 14:44
  Speaker 10: it means nothing. It's just a nothing.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Word now, Felicia, I think you know, I I see
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: where you're going with us, and I don't disagree with
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: what you're with with what with what you're saying here,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: And I think that is a fair assessment that people
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: do not know, uh, the differences or the distinctions. I
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: think when you're talking about socialism and communism, they are
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: very very connected and related. I mean there are differences.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Both are very bad and you know, but again, I
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: think if you ask the average person out on the street,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: what's the difference to your point, yeah, I'm not sure
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: they would be able to tell you. And that is
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: something that is troubling, and I think that's where again
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: you have to go back and you have to teach
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: the history about how many people have been slaughtered just
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: in the twentieth century by those ideologies. I think that's
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: a fair point. Yeah, yeah, I agree.
• 15:37
  Speaker 10: If we're using slaughtering based on uh where you're talking
• 15:41
  Speaker 10: about political systems of people of flattering people have been
• 15:46
  Speaker 10: killed up under capitalism as well. So if we're using that.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, how so, how so what do you mean by that?
• 15:54
  Speaker 10: Okay, so we can use building, like say an electrical
• 16:02
  Speaker 10: plant in a poorer neighborhood where the people you don't
• 16:07
  Speaker 10: build uh factories and things that kill people in higher.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Where's your proof? Where's your proof of where's your proof
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: or evidence of that?
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 16:18
  Speaker 10: I'm can you name a whole bunch of uh AI
• 16:23
  Speaker 10: models or factories or cold dumping plants in uh Germantown
• 16:28
  Speaker 10: or say Beverly Hill.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: But but again, where is your proof? Where's your proof
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: that you're saying that capitalism is out there killing people?
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I will tell you, yes, ma'am. I am one hundred
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: million people. One hundred million people slaughtered in the name
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: of communism in the twentieth century. Felicia, absolutely, and that's
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: all very well documented. One hundred million people.
• 16:53
  Speaker 10: You ask me for documentation, So what's yours?
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Well by, you can go, but you can read a
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: history book.
• 16:59
  Speaker 10: I mean I can read a history book and you
• 17:01
  Speaker 10: could too. So I'm asking you. You made the claim
• 17:04
  Speaker 10: that one hundred million.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: People read the Black Book, read the Black Book of communism.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: You got to educate yourself, Felicia, I'm asking you, where
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: is your evidence? If you read any history book, it
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: will tell you exactly how many people have been killed
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: by the communist I'm asking you. You say that capitalism
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: is killing people, how is where is your evidence of that?
• 17:27
  Speaker 10: So's your economics, political system?
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: That's no, where's your where's your information? Where's your proof?
• 17:34
  Speaker 12: Would you?
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: Are you serious?
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: I am serious. I'm asking you where is your proof?
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: Sure?
• 17:40
  Speaker 10: Hold on, give me a one second.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: No, we're not gonna we don't have time. We literally
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: we're coming up on a break here. But you've been
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: we've been chanting. We've been chanting for almost six minutes now,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: and you didn't get to your point, Felicia. You got
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: to get right to your point on this program. A
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: good try, though, and Felicia, give us a call back.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: But again you have to come armed with the facts
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: here when you look at and go back through your
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: history books, they I mean, fifty five million people were
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: killed by the Chinese Communist under Lennon and Stalin, as
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: many as twenty million people killed. It is a very
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: dangerous and very deadly political ideology, ladies and gentlemen. And
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: let me say something. We're not teaching that in our
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: public schools. We need to be teaching it in our
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: public schools. But you've got people like Felicia here and
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: she thinks that Elon Musk is like the bad guy
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: because they want to build these data centers and other things,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: and they're alleging that that's what's killing people. I just
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I'm asking for the numbers in the proof. Where is it?
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: All right? Got to take a break. Nine oh one
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five, nine two six. This is
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: the Todd Sterns Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. This
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: is the Todd Sterns Radio Show. Very happy to have
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: you with us today. Very disturbing thing the President announced yesterday.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: He was in the Oval Office taking some questions from reporters,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: and we had been told to prepare for a massive
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: attack on Iran that would have been probably as bad
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: as something that would have happened in World War Two
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: that did not happen. The President said, the Iranians got
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: wind of it, and they asked to come back to
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: the negotiating table, and the President agreed, which led me
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: to write the following message on X that the on again,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: off again, on again, off again, on again, off again,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: on again, off again Iran war policy is now off again.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Now we get word that the President says that somebody
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: in the White House or the Pentagon leaked the information
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: about the Iranian strikes to the enemy, and the President's
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: very upset about this, says the leakers ought to be
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: put in jail, and we need to find out who
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: they are and get to the bottom of all of this. Well, absolutely,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: he said, in this case, leakers helped because they said
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: the severity of the attack, and Iran knew it, they
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: knew what was coming. Well, I want to bring into
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: the conversation a man who can help us sort through
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: all of this. He's our good buddy. We call him
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: the Dragon, but he has retired Brigadier General John Tigert, John,
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: good to have you with us today.
• 20:47
  Speaker 13: Todd, as always, takes again for having me.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: So.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Look, I've just I've got a lot of questions here
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: about this. First of all, this leak. What do you
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: make of this leak coming out of the the administration, Todd?
• 21:02
  Speaker 13: It is shameful if it is true that operational security
• 21:07
  Speaker 13: is the key not only for the United States to
• 21:09
  Speaker 13: achieve our operational strategic objectives, but to keep our military
• 21:14
  Speaker 13: members safe. And if there is someone that is leaking
• 21:17
  Speaker 13: information that is putting Americans at risk, then we need
• 21:20
  Speaker 13: to very quickly get to the bottom of it and
• 21:22
  Speaker 13: very quickly throw the book at that individual or individuals.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. I I was doing some research
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: last night on the Espionage Act, and there are some
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: pretty serious penalties for doing something like this, including the
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, you could wind up getting the death penalty
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: here in some cases, depending on the nature of the
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: leak and how that information was used. And I'm just wondering,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: have we just been so lax in all of this
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: that people, you know, in the military think they can
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: leak this information, or somebody in the administration can just
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: leak it without any without any repercussions.
• 21:59
  Speaker 13: Well, Todd, I don't know what the root cause of
• 22:02
  Speaker 13: this is, but I do want to emphasize that, at
• 22:05
  Speaker 13: least from our military training, we are very well and
• 22:09
  Speaker 13: doctrinated into the importance of not sharing that type of
• 22:13
  Speaker 13: information because it means our brothers and sister to the
• 22:16
  Speaker 13: right or the left of us could be killed or
• 22:19
  Speaker 13: put at risk as a result. I don't know if
• 22:21
  Speaker 13: this is a staffer, but I really hope this is
• 22:23
  Speaker 13: a wake up call for anyone in the inner circle
• 22:26
  Speaker 13: of an administration that would know the details of something
• 22:29
  Speaker 13: like this that this is serious business. Like you said,
• 22:32
  Speaker 13: the ultimate penalties could be the ultimate penalty, and I
• 22:36
  Speaker 13: really hope that we tighten up our security processes so
• 22:40
  Speaker 13: nothing like this ever happens again.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: General, I'm meant to ask you this. Last time we
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: had you on there was some sort of an attack
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: on one of the military bases. I believe it was
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: in Jordan, and there was video of this that was
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: actually posted on social media by members of the military
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: who were there, And I'm just wondering, do you guys
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: have rules and regulations, especially in a time of war,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: about whether or not you know soldiers airmen should be
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: using cell phones and other devices you know, and they might,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: you know, unknowingly share share very important information with the enemy.
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: Todd.
• 23:16
  Speaker 13: There are not only rules and regulations, but also regular
• 23:20
  Speaker 13: communication so things like that don't happen. And you know,
• 23:23
  Speaker 13: it's as simple as making sure that the location identification
• 23:27
  Speaker 13: items on your phones are turned off, because even just
• 23:31
  Speaker 13: the location of an individual soldier or sailor can give
• 23:35
  Speaker 13: away the well being of all of those who are
• 23:37
  Speaker 13: around them. And then certainly after a strike, there should
• 23:41
  Speaker 13: be no sort of battle damage assessment done by individuals
• 23:46
  Speaker 13: that are posted or shared with the world, because that
• 23:49
  Speaker 13: type of information is extremely sensitive and just tipping off
• 23:53
  Speaker 13: an adversary about how well a strike did can give
• 23:57
  Speaker 13: them the reinforcing mechanism can make the next one even worse.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: What do you make of what's going on in Iran
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: right now? I think I think the American people are
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: confused and they're very frustrated. We had over a thousand
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: comments on a post we did on social media, and
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: ninety nine point nine percent of them all Trump supporters,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: and every single one of them is just really frustrated
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: with whatever we're doing with Iran right now.
• 24:25
  Speaker 13: Todd. They have the right to be frustrated because our
• 24:28
  Speaker 13: credibility is sinking fast. Whenever the president makes strong threats
• 24:34
  Speaker 13: and then for some reason backs down from those threats,
• 24:37
  Speaker 13: especially because we've seen, like you said, at least five
• 24:40
  Speaker 13: cycles of that, it diminishes our credibility. But Todd, I
• 24:44
  Speaker 13: think the president's instincts have been right here that those
• 24:47
  Speaker 13: large scale strategic strikes against carefully mapped targets like power
• 24:52
  Speaker 13: plants and energy sites would strangle and newter the regime.
• 24:56
  Speaker 13: And I wish that he would follow through on those threats.
• 25:00
  Speaker 13: I get a sense that someone in his administration is
• 25:03
  Speaker 13: prompting him to take an off ramp, but I don't
• 25:06
  Speaker 13: think that we can take any more off ramps. I
• 25:08
  Speaker 13: think we have to follow through, and I do think
• 25:11
  Speaker 13: that actually enacting some of those threats would change the
• 25:15
  Speaker 13: calculus and strike at the heart of the regime and
• 25:18
  Speaker 13: help us far better achieve our strategic objectives than trusting
• 25:21
  Speaker 13: that the Iranians are going to try to make a
• 25:23
  Speaker 13: good deal on our behalf.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I mean. And we got a call from
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: a listener I think it was last week, and they
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: were like, well, you know, it's a war crime to
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: hit power plants and bridges. No, this is war. And
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering in general, when you guys you know, are
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: out there blowing these things up or sending in the
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: jets to blow up the power plants and the bridges,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: there is a strategic reason for doing things like.
• 25:47
  Speaker 13: That, Todd, there is, And I just want to make
• 25:50
  Speaker 13: very clear that Captain Tiger, early on in my career,
• 25:54
  Speaker 13: attacked targets like bridges and railways and power plants and
• 25:59
  Speaker 13: energy sites in the former Yugoslavia under President Bill Clinton.
• 26:03
  Speaker 13: If targets are mapped to dual use, which means there
• 26:07
  Speaker 13: is a military affiliation to a target, then that is
• 26:10
  Speaker 13: a valid target and often a very effective target. And
• 26:13
  Speaker 13: I hate the handwringing about war crimes now when back
• 26:17
  Speaker 13: in nineteen ninety nine, no one seemed to be bothered
• 26:20
  Speaker 13: with the idea of striking those same kind of targets.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: It does seem, I mean, coming from the military standpoint here,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: it must be frustrating for the Pentagon and the military
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: leaders they're trying to get this done. Meanwhile, it seems
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: and I'm just going to assume here that the people
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: that are pushing back and saying no, no, no, we need
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: to ease up, would in fact be the politicos, the
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: suits and the White House, and not necessarily the folks
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: in uniform.
• 26:46
  Speaker 12: Well, Todd, I agree with you.
• 26:48
  Speaker 13: I know that at least the military members and the
• 26:50
  Speaker 13: leaders are giving best military advice and recommendations to the President,
• 26:55
  Speaker 13: and then whatever decision making process is going on around
• 26:59
  Speaker 13: him is likely causing what our recommendations to continue strikes
• 27:03
  Speaker 13: and regain the initiative and changing it into something that
• 27:07
  Speaker 13: now the multiple cycles have caused us to lose the initiative,
• 27:11
  Speaker 13: which means Iran is leading and shaping the situation and
• 27:14
  Speaker 13: we are now following and being shaped. And that is
• 27:17
  Speaker 13: not the position we need to be in to achieve
• 27:20
  Speaker 13: our strategic objectives.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: I just I know the president this is just it's
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: it seems to be out of his character, the way
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: the way this has been handled. And I'm wondering, what
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: do you what do you make of that? And you
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: mentioned a concern about I am concerned about legacy here
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: because we don't need to be dragged into a war
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: that goes on for you know, another six or seven months.
• 27:44
  Speaker 13: Todd, we were at the height of our influence and
• 27:47
  Speaker 13: strength visa via Iran at the end of active combat
• 27:51
  Speaker 13: operations at the beginning of April. And now our strength
• 27:54
  Speaker 13: and our pressure and our influence has been waning. And
• 27:57
  Speaker 13: I don't mind way back then, give the Iranians one
• 28:01
  Speaker 13: chance to make a good deal. But now this competitive
• 28:05
  Speaker 13: repetitive cycle is causing our strength to diminish. And you
• 28:09
  Speaker 13: know the rest of the world is watching, and that
• 28:12
  Speaker 13: includes she and Putin and others, and we need to
• 28:15
  Speaker 13: regain deterrence. We need to regain compellants. And I strongly believe,
• 28:20
  Speaker 13: especially attacking carg Island and strangling and neutering every source
• 28:26
  Speaker 13: of resourcing for the regime would be the most effective
• 28:29
  Speaker 13: strategic play here. I wish we would have done it
• 28:31
  Speaker 13: back in April, but we need to stop giving a
• 28:33
  Speaker 13: rawn more chances because they're going to continue to keep
• 28:36
  Speaker 13: the initiative and our credibility is diminishing as a result.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: So General, you're in the situation room. What advice do
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: you give the president? What do you do now? Todd?
• 28:45
  Speaker 13: The Iranian regime and I know this firsthand is strengthened
• 28:49
  Speaker 13: and enticed by our perceived weakness and capitulation and appeasement.
• 28:55
  Speaker 13: Mister President, strike the oil infrastructure at Carg Island. Ninety
• 29:01
  Speaker 13: percent of the resources of the regime would be destroyed
• 29:04
  Speaker 13: in one night of strikes against Carg, and whether the
• 29:08
  Speaker 13: regime is flipped or not, they wouldn't have the resources
• 29:11
  Speaker 13: to enact their malign intent. And you must immediately attack
• 29:15
  Speaker 13: carg Island and destroy the resourcing of the regime to
• 29:18
  Speaker 13: regain the initiative.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: All right, good stuff, General, have things been going out there?
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Your eyes? I see you all over the place, And
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: of course you started with our little show here and
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: now you're like a rock star on Fox News.
• 29:31
  Speaker 13: Well, you know, Todd, I say yes every time someone
• 29:34
  Speaker 13: from your office reaches out to me because I know
• 29:37
  Speaker 13: who my friends are, and I just deeply appreciate the
• 29:40
  Speaker 13: fact that you have been so kind to me over
• 29:42
  Speaker 13: these years, and I look for it. I know we
• 29:44
  Speaker 13: have an engagement coming up in Lancaster in September, and
• 29:47
  Speaker 13: I look ford some fellowship over some root beer at
• 29:50
  Speaker 13: that event.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be a lot of fun and the root
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: beer is mighty good. The Spiritual Leadership Conference that's coming
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: up September twenty seventh through the thirtieth at Lancaster Baptist
• 30:00

• 30:06
  Speaker 2: and hang out with us. I understand the numbers are
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: off the charge this year only because I think general
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: and don't tell Doctor Champell this. You and I are
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: on the on the platform, so I.
• 30:16
  Speaker 13: Think, well, I think it might help a little bit.
• 30:18
  Speaker 13: But you know, it is their fortieth anniversary of the church.
• 30:21
  Speaker 13: I accepted Christ as my Savior through that ministry in
• 30:24
  Speaker 13: two thousand and four, and I love going back there.
• 30:27
  Speaker 13: I get filled up with the spirit and service to
• 30:29
  Speaker 13: the Lord, and I know you do too.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: It is it's a great blessing. And we just love
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Doctor Chapel and the great people there at Lancaster, and
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: I think that really that's for me. I just love
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: the fellowship. You're going to get some incredible teaching, You're
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: going to be challenged, you're going to step out of
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: your comfort zone. But for me, I just I love
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: the fellowship of all of those great brothers and sisters
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: and the Lord. And by the way, are you going
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: to be able to get up back up to the
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: old stomping grounds over at Edwards.
• 30:56
  Speaker 13: I think I'm going to go up there and speak
• 30:58
  Speaker 13: to a portion of that twenty two test pilots while
• 31:01
  Speaker 13: I'm there.
• 31:02

• 31:12
  Speaker 2: but that is the game plan and we'll definitely we'll

  Speaker 2: nine two six. This segment of the Todd Stearns Show
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: brought to you by our friends at Newsmax. It's true,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: millions of Americans agree with the President, and they're switching

• 32:28
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, very interesting comments coming from General Tigert,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: a great, great military leader, and I think he's just
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: as concerned as a lot of you are about what
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: is going on right now inside the White House has
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: clearly clearly there is massive disagreement on what to do
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: about Iran. You know, the question is does this impact
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: the midterm elections? Well, if gas prices are staying high,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: and if, for example, if if grocery prices are are high,
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: well yeah, you're gonna you're gonna have some problems, big time,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: big time problems. Nine oh one two six zero five
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. So there is a big controversy,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: a big controversy about burritos. And now the Vice President
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: of the United States is winging in on on this
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: and it involves the turning point USA, and there's been
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: a lot of talk about affordability, and TPUSA really focused
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: focusing in on this, and they're taking the side of
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: the college kids and young Americans who say the price
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: of goods is just too high. So anyway, Andrew Colvett,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: who is the TPUSA spokesman, produces the what they're still
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: call the Charlie Kirk Show. He says, one of our
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: TPUSA college students gave me his take on affordability. The
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: student said, quote, a burrito should not cost twenty dollars,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: and Covet said, a lot of this is a hangover
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: from COVID and the Biden era inflation, but the lived
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: experience is the same. It just feels like basic things
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: cost too much. Now, ladies and gentlemen, we don't operate
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: on feelings on this program. And my question to you
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: is are prices high or are they not? Now. Matt
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Walsh is weighing in on this. He said, grocery prices
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: are insane. They're still rising. Addressing this problem should be
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: the number one priority of every elected leader. End the
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: stupid foreign wars and focus on this issue. It's one
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: of the main reasons socialists are gaining power. Now, ladies
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen, do you agree or disagree with that assessment?
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: One person said, well, stop buying burritos at the restaurant
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: and start learning to cook at home, learn how to budget.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: One person saying, I'm not saying things are out of
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: whack and there have not been crazy inflation, but if
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: you can't afford to eat out, and I spent years
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: in this position, don't eat out, cook eat in. Sometimes
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: you just need to have a dinner of mashed potatoes
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: or APB and Jay sandwich or two. Try a can
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: of tuna on some bread. Oh, I love tuna fish.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: You gotta have the celery though. For the crunch, it's
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: very tasty. Duke's mayonnaise. Hm, that's good eating. You got
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: to toast the bread. They gotta toast the bread. Anyway,
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: I digress. This person goes on to say there are
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: ways to save money and survive until you can afford it.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Burritos are out and Starbucks are luxuries for many, just
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: avoid them. So anyway, you know, Mark Tieson's weighing in
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: on this, The vice president is weighing in on this.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Mark Teessen says, crime a river. The burritos in the
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: college cafeteria are included in your meal plan, and the
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: vice president says, I'm surprised to hear Mark say this.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: If you've ever met him in person, it's quite obvious
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: the man has never missed a burrito. What is is
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Mark Tisen fat or something? Is that what jd Vance
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: is trying to say? Pardon me, but the vice president
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: doesn't have much room. The rumor was that he was
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: forced to lose weight before he could join the ticket.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: So that's I'm no, I'm not saying anything. I'm just again.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Oh and here's here's Shapiro weighing in. I hear that
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: young people are upset about twenty dollars burritos. By the way,
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: who's paying twenty bucks for a burrito? Is that how
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: much a burrito cost?
• 37:00
  Speaker 12: It spends on where you go. Really, yeah, I mean
• 37:03
  Speaker 12: taco bells. Burritos aren't twenty dollars themselves, but if you
• 37:07
  Speaker 12: get the sides, then yeah, you're gonna deal.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: With really a twenty dollars burrito. Anyway, Shapiro says, if
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: you're paying twenty bucks for a burrito and you're not
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: independently wealthy, you're doing life wrong. We're gonna price this out,
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: find out how much it would cost to actually make
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: a burrito at home. All right, nine oh one two
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. Our telephone number, that's
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six,
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Barrito Gates. When we return.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: common sense conservative commentary from Todd starts.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: It's American. All right, I'm gonna do it. I'm just
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: gonna jump right into burrito dates. Hello, everybody, Welcome to
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: the Tod Sterns Radio Show. Great to have you with
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: us today. So look, there's a big raging controversy among
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: conservative gen zers started by Matt Walsh in Turning Point USA,
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: a Turning Point USA student complaining about the price of
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: a burrito, which the student said was twenty dollars and
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: was unaffordable, and TPUSA weighing in and saying, you know,
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: we've got to do something about all of this. And
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Matt Walsh is out there saying we need to be
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: focused more on dropping prices in America as opposed to
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: doing the foreign wars. And a lot of folks are
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: offering their thoughts here. One of President Trump's advisors, Alex Bruswich,
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: he is the CEO of X Strategies LLC. He says
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: socialist candidates are performing well at the moment because many
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Americans feel deeply discouraged. People who believe they did everything right,
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: got good grades, worked hard, followed the rules still can't
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: seem to get ahead. Socialism would only make their problems worse,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: yet its promises sound appealing to those in this situation.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: President Trump often seems to be the only Republican who
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: recognizes this frustration and speaks directly to these Americans. Republican
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: candidates running against dssay members need a clear message and
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: real solutions for these voters. Simply dismissing those who are
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: cozying up to socialist candidates as entitled or stupid will backfire.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: So as much as this is about burritos, it's really
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: about communism. I mean, at the end of the day,
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: and a lot of people are afraid that if enough
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: gen Zers can't afford a burrito combo, then we might
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: turn into a socialist nation. That's I mean, that's the
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: concern here. Very odd story, but now everybody's wanting to
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: get get their two cents worth. In on this, Ben
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Shapiro says that I hear young people are upset about
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: twenty dollars burritos. Okay, young people, a burrito does not
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: cost twenty dollars. If you're paying for twenty dollars, If
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: you're paying twenty dollars for burrito, you're not independently wealthy.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: You're doing life wrong. Well, may I just suggest that
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: if you're going to Starbucks every day, you may be
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: doing life wrong as well. But my two cents worth then,
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: so any first of all, who's paying twenty dollars for
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: a burrito? So, Dylan, we went down. I decided to
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: do the price comparison. You know they do that a
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: lot on The price is right, yes, and so I
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: decided to look in and see exactly what it is
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: that people are paying for when it comes to burritos.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: The most expensive burrito and I limited this to the
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: casual fast food, right, so I don't think I included Chipotle. Well,
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Chipotle is in the list. So the priceiest is the
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Moe's Southwest Grill home Wrecker Chicken burrito. That's ten ninety nine.
• 41:11
  Speaker 12: That makes a lot of sense. Mose likes to do that.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: The next one is Codoba. Okay, ten ninety nine, we
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: have a Codoba. I don't think we have a Condoba.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: They're pretty good actually though. The next is Chipotle They're
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: Chicken Burrito ten seventy five. Then Del Taco they're Epic
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: Burrito six ninety nine, Taco Bell, the Burrito Supreme. Oh,
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: I love the Burrito Supreme. You got that. I don't
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: like the beans and I just get a beef. But
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: I haven't put in the black olives.
• 41:39
  Speaker 12: LO love the black don't I have to disagree with violently?
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 41:44
  Speaker 12: Yeah, black olives and a burrito, well, just black olives
• 41:47
  Speaker 12: in general.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: The little sour cream and all of the Taco Bell
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: beefy melt burrito three dollars and the Taco Bell cheesy
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: bean and rice burrito two forty nine.
• 42:00
  Speaker 12: So I think the solution is just to go to
• 42:01
  Speaker 12: Taco Bell.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: It sounds like, yeah, I mean it's the least expensive option.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: So but again, I mean, where are these kids getting
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: the twenty dollars burrito? That's what I'm trying to figure out.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: What's going on here?
• 42:11
  Speaker 12: Definitely not at any of these fast food places.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: Where are they going to Ruth's Chris, they got a
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: burrito on the Amenu. So, but there's an even cheaper option.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: And hear me on this. There's a section in the
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: supermarket called the Frozen Food Aisle, and they have the
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: frozen burritos. Right, So do you know that you can
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: get the Walmart, for example, the Walmart Great Value Burritos.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: You're going to get an eight pack. So if you're
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: really hungry, you're going to get to be able to
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: get eight burritos for three dollars and eighty two cents.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: That's forty eight cents of burrito.
• 42:43
  Speaker 12: It's not bad.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: That's not bad at all. Oh, here we go El Monterrey.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: So if you want the brand name El Monterey Family Pack,
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: you're going to get eight burritos and it's only going
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: to set you back seventy cents a burrito, Slap a
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: little salsa on it, and get yourself some sour cream.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: You got a great meal.
• 43:03
  Speaker 12: You wouldn't even tell a difference.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: No, no, no no. And then there's Amy's Kitchen. Is
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: that the vegan chick?
• 43:09
  Speaker 12: It sounds vegan?
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's I was getting some chili or something.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: I was looking for some chili and I thought, oh,
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: this is amy and it was like vegetarian chili. I'm like,
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: what is that? What is it the crime? Yeah, the
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: hot dog would not accept it. No, yeah, do not
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: put this on me. That's what the hot dog said.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: Reds Reds burritos you're gonna be able to get. Well,
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: they're a little bit more pricey a buck seventy one apiece,
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: but apparently they're pretty good. It is for a frozen burrito.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: But again, I think the issue here is, for example,
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: how much do you go to Are you a big
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Starbucks Sky.
• 43:47
  Speaker 12: I'm not a big Starbucks Sky, but I do know
• 43:49
  Speaker 12: the prices of the coffees.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of money.
• 43:52
  Speaker 12: It's at least five dollars for a grande.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: A lot of money. Do you realize? And again this
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: is just the culture. But if you act actually brewed
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: that coffee at home, and I'm not talking about the carring,
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: but if you just brood it at home, you're going
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: to be saving almost well in some cases depending on
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: what your what your order is. But if you're like
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: a frappucino and you decide you're just going to do
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: all that at home, you're gonna save twenty three hundred
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: dollars a year just on coffee. So I'm wondering, with
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: these young people are we And again I understand, I
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: mean it's you know, a lot of the people weighing
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: in here are multimillionaires or people that are very well off.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: And that is unfair because if you're a young person,
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: you're in a you're not earning as much as those people,
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: and the dollar has to stretch. But here's the problem
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: with young people. You can't afford to go to Starbucks.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: You can't afford to go out. And do you realize
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: that this generation Gen Z eats out more than any
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: other generation, any other generation from the boomers, gen xers,
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: gen Z actually eats out more. And maybe that's the problem.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Maybe you got to start cooking at home. And you know, again,
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: there are some days. I remember when I was a
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: kid growing up. The week was it wash day was Monday.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: Mom did the laundriil Monday, and that was red beans
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: and rice day. So Mom put on a big old
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: pot of red beans, and we had the red beans
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: and rice. And if it was like a good economy,
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: we got some on dewey sausage in the in the
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: red beans and rice. But again, these are very simple meals,
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: and you just wonder, Okay, yes, the economy may be tough,
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: but is it possible that gen Z maybe living beyond
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: its means just a smidge nine oh one two six
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. Charles, North Carolina wants to
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: weigh in on the the burritos. All right, Charles, what
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: you got for us?
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 45:42
  Speaker 14: Well, schod, I don't normally eat burritos, but I will
• 45:45
  Speaker 14: say that around here where I live, I've noticed, and
• 45:48
  Speaker 14: I made a comment about this this past weekend. But
• 45:51
  Speaker 14: you go out to a restaurant and the starting price
• 45:54
  Speaker 14: for a hamburger eighteen bucks.
• 45:57
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, if.
• 45:59
  Speaker 14: I'll left the grocery store the other day, I got
• 46:00
  Speaker 14: two bags and groceries, I'm already high on the hog.
• 46:03
  Speaker 14: I mean, there's mainly some breakfast food and stuff. Two
• 46:06
  Speaker 14: bags eighty four dollars. So I agree with you that
• 46:10
  Speaker 14: a lot of young people are living way beyond their means.
• 46:13
  Speaker 14: But we can't dismiss what they're saying because they're struggling.
• 46:21
  Speaker 14: Most pe young people I know cannot afford a down
• 46:23
  Speaker 14: payment on a house. They can't afford a house payment.
• 46:26
  Speaker 14: They can't hardly afford a car payment, health insurance, and
• 46:32
  Speaker 14: like you said, they've done a lot of things right,
• 46:34
  Speaker 14: and yet they feel like that they're being left out
• 46:37
  Speaker 14: of this economy. So when somebody like a hostein Picker
• 46:41
  Speaker 14: or l Saed in Michigan and these socialists come, you
• 46:46
  Speaker 14: know that message free stuff is resonating with them. Even
• 46:50
  Speaker 14: though all the spending, all the inflation that was started
• 46:54
  Speaker 14: under Joe Biden, that's what caused all of this. Today
• 47:00
  Speaker 14: I heard a story the Dallas Federal Reserve has said
• 47:05
  Speaker 14: that illegal aliens are responsible for thirty percent of the
• 47:09
  Speaker 14: increase in housing calls. So I think if we want
• 47:13
  Speaker 14: to try to win the midterms and win in twenty
• 47:16
  Speaker 14: twenty eight, it's not enough just to call people, you know,
• 47:19
  Speaker 14: Demmgogain for called being socialist communists. But Republicans have to
• 47:23
  Speaker 14: offer solutions, which they're not. We're just criticizing, but we're
• 47:28
  Speaker 14: not saying what we're gonna do. I mean, that's why
• 47:31
  Speaker 14: we don't need to let up off the gas of
• 47:33
  Speaker 14: nasty nast deportations to bring down housing calls. I got
• 47:37
  Speaker 14: a bill to repeal Uboniccare, which is making healthcare prices
• 47:41
  Speaker 14: go up and making healthcare unaffordable. How about saying that
• 47:45
  Speaker 14: we're going to go back to pre COVID spending levels
• 47:48
  Speaker 14: and quit spending a trillion dollars going in debt at
• 47:51
  Speaker 14: trillion dollars every ninety days, which exacerbates inflation. These are
• 47:56
  Speaker 14: things I think where Republicans are dropping the ball, and
• 48:00
  Speaker 14: we need to explain to people why they're the predictab
• 48:05
  Speaker 14: that they are economically, and then what our solution is
• 48:07
  Speaker 14: going to be.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting when you look at the numbers, Charles,
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: and I'm with you on that, and we're very careful
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: here not to criticize gen Z because they are being
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: impacted more so than anybody else. And when you look
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: at the housing market, for example, it's it's really appalling
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: that they just the kids can't afford to buy homes.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: You look at home ownership among gen Z, it's what
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: around twenty seven percent millennials only around fifty five percent,
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: I mean half, you know a little over a half
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: of millennials actually own a home. And many of these
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: kids have done every single thing that has been asked
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: of them, and everything is still out of reach. And
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: that is the concern, that would be the concern I
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: have when you've got these young, attractive, you know, socialists
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: out there saying that they feel the pain and they've
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: got a solution to it. Because right now, I guess
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: if you asked a lot of these kids, they would say, well,
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: the current form of the current current form of government
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: we have is not working for them.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 49:14
  Speaker 14: No, you you're one hundred percent right. I mean, in
• 49:17
  Speaker 14: a case in point, a good friend of mine's son
• 49:19
  Speaker 14: just graduated last year with an engineering degree, got his
• 49:22
  Speaker 14: first job, making seventy five thousand a year, which was
• 49:25
  Speaker 14: a lot more than mine. The average price of a
• 49:28
  Speaker 14: house is over four hundred thousand. If he tries to
• 49:31
  Speaker 14: put ten percent down, he's got to come up with
• 49:33
  Speaker 14: forty thousand his monthly house payment. On that seventy five
• 49:37
  Speaker 14: thousand dollars a year salary, god, represents almost forty percent
• 49:42
  Speaker 14: of his monthly income. When I bought my first house,
• 49:45
  Speaker 14: my house payment was around fifteen percent. So between credit
• 49:49
  Speaker 14: card debt, housing, car payments, I don't know how these
• 49:54
  Speaker 14: young people are making it. I really don't. And that's
• 49:56
  Speaker 14: where they're trying to now blame capitalism for it, and
• 49:59
  Speaker 14: capitalism and it's not the problem. The problem is our
• 50:02
  Speaker 14: government with all its spending, all its overregulation, all its
• 50:07
  Speaker 14: in doctrination these kids and not teaching them how money works,
• 50:10
  Speaker 14: out of saved, how to invest, that's put them in
• 50:13
  Speaker 14: this predicament. And that's what I'm saying. Republicans, they've got
• 50:16
  Speaker 14: to do something to shift gears, to give these people
• 50:18
  Speaker 14: at all time and something to vote for, not again.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Charles, appreciate the call and thank you for that. No,
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: it's true. Prices are going up, Dylan. I was that
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: we went to the Chick fil A yesterday, treat everybody
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: to lunch. We may as well have gone to russ Chress.
• 50:33
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, I understand.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: It's crazy. Are you ready for this? The price of
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: just a regular Chick fil a sandwich? Right, not even
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: an extra pickle, not even the Chick fil a sauce.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: It's gone a forty percent from twenty nineteen. They were
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: three seventy five, down five seventy five. Those the nuggets
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: and the grilled nuggets are off the charts. Another they're
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: healthy for you, but good.
• 50:54
  Speaker 12: Lord, oh yeah, the healthier, the more expensive I was.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: And I went to Actually, as soon as I heard
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: the price, I just went right on by one of
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: my favorite barbecue joints. I'm not going to name it.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: They they do Texas brisket and it was like a
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: one one meat platter with two sides. It was like
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: thirty five dollars.
• 51:15
  Speaker 12: For one person.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: For one person, one person, a one meat, two sides,
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: thirty five bucks. I'm like, I'm good, I'm good. Let's
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: go to David, Memphis, Tennessee, listening to us on KWIM. Hi, David,
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: what's up?
• 51:30
  Speaker 15: Hey Toddas want to clarifyston you said, and then we
• 51:33
  Speaker 15: little comment about something. First of all, we'll talk about
• 51:38
  Speaker 15: what you mentioned first, the taco bell. Now, now that
• 51:41
  Speaker 15: item you're talking about two dollars is the new dome
• 51:44
  Speaker 15: of menu. Basically it was sid not a dollar, but
• 51:46
  Speaker 15: it's so tiny and small for a row Man. It's
• 51:50
  Speaker 15: like it's like an order if you know, it's nothing.
• 51:53
  Speaker 15: And so now you know, you go to any fast
• 51:57
  Speaker 15: food restaurant for a row Man and you're not going,
• 52:00
  Speaker 15: I don't care if it's McDonald's. When I was talking
• 52:03
  Speaker 15: about buying one double, one macdouble. If you want a
• 52:06
  Speaker 15: decent meal, you're gonna spend fifteen to twenty dollars for
• 52:09
  Speaker 15: one person. Off the top and then the sandwich you
• 52:14
  Speaker 15: said at six or eight, I go over all the
• 52:15
  Speaker 15: time and with tax, and it's not no. Five seventy
• 52:18
  Speaker 15: five spicey chicken deluxe sandwich is like seven dollars and
• 52:22
  Speaker 15: a change by myself nine something plus tax for the combat.
• 52:27
  Speaker 15: And so I was just clarifying this. But anyhow, thing
• 52:30
  Speaker 15: is people can't make it eat to day. I mean,
• 52:33
  Speaker 15: I'm fifty five and I went to military when I
• 52:35
  Speaker 15: was nineteen. Prior to that, I had a minimum wage
• 52:39
  Speaker 15: job then basically pay three thirty five an hour. Back then,
• 52:45
  Speaker 15: I was able to afford an apartment. I had all
• 52:47
  Speaker 15: the furnishings from radio shack to wherever, and just busting tables. Okay,
• 52:55
  Speaker 15: now you can make twenty dollars something an hour. They
• 52:58
  Speaker 15: don't give them dusually give them a boy thirty eight hours,
• 53:00
  Speaker 15: thirty five hours. You might get forty if you're lucky.
• 53:03
  Speaker 15: And then then they don't, you know, get no benefits,
• 53:08
  Speaker 15: and so you can't even afford an apartment. They alone
• 53:11
  Speaker 15: of the furnishings with twenty dollars an hour anymore. So no,
• 53:15
  Speaker 15: you're gonna spend one person's gonna be anywhere you go
• 53:17
  Speaker 15: fast food it's gonna be fifteen plus a person go
• 53:22
  Speaker 15: to a sit down. The restaurants you can only imagine.
• 53:24
  Speaker 15: And those burritos you're talking about, I've had them before
• 53:27
  Speaker 15: at the grocery store. They're nasty in a way. I mean,
• 53:30
  Speaker 15: they're edible if you're on a budget, but then they're nasty.
• 53:33
  Speaker 15: They're like frozen, and it's just they're bad. But there
• 53:37
  Speaker 15: there's no way a groom and you're a big guy,
• 53:40
  Speaker 15: you know. I'm just saying, you know, and there's no
• 53:43
  Speaker 15: way you're gonna eat. If I go to McDonald's, I
• 53:46
  Speaker 15: don't have at least two mcdoubles the fries.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 53:50
  Speaker 15: And so even if I get to mc double one
• 53:52
  Speaker 15: and not even the convo, you know, there's a twelve, thirteen,
• 53:55
  Speaker 15: fourteen dollars right there.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: It's a lucky it's a lot of buddy. And my
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: whole point of that is, David and I haven't had
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: the frozen burritos. I'm not a big burrito guy these days,
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: but I will say this, and David, thanks for the call.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: We got a skinnaddle. Look, yeah, can you can you
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: cut back and just you know, eat it eat it home.
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: I remember when I was a kid. We just did
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: not eat out a lot. I mean it was a
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: very very special occasion, you know, for us to go
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: and eat out again. What is the solution here? And
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: what do you tell these young people, folks? What do
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: you tell them? Nine oh one two six zero five
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: nine two six? This is the Tops Turn show. All right,
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: let's go right to the phone lines. Jess in the
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: Houston listening to us on patriotp. Nine twenty. All right, Jess,
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
• 54:48
  Speaker 16: Your last two or three collars brought a teer to
• 54:51
  Speaker 16: my half. Whatever happened to the brown paper bag where
• 54:56
  Speaker 16: you get up before you go to work and you
• 54:58
  Speaker 16: sew a slam of pan them and cheese between two
• 55:01
  Speaker 16: pieces of bread, Put it in a brown paper sack
• 55:04
  Speaker 16: with an apple and take it to work. Whatever happened
• 55:06
  Speaker 16: to those people?
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: That's a great that's a great question. Just that brings
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: back memories. And it was not It wasn't like doubling
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: up on the ham. You got one slice.
• 55:16
  Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, everybody wants to complain. It's just it's
• 55:22
  Speaker 16: pretty obvious. If you're making twenty dollars an iron, take
• 55:26
  Speaker 16: a sack lunch three days a week and take that
• 55:28
  Speaker 16: money and put a savings account and then when you're
• 55:32
  Speaker 16: when you're forty or fifty years old, you'll have something.
• 55:35
  Speaker 16: But everybody wants immediate gratification. You know, you don't get
• 55:41
  Speaker 16: out of college and go buy a four thousand dollars
• 55:43
  Speaker 16: house and pay five thousand a month. You don't do that.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: No, you buy a starter home and maybe it's a
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: not a great neighborhood, but it's a starting point. And
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: I think that's the That may be one of the
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: issues is you can't start at the country club you
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: got them, you know, starting maybe a rougher part down.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know. It's Jess, thank you for the call.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here, nine oh one two six
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six, your calls on burrito Gate
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: coming up. You know, when you look back on our generation,
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: all of us gen xers, you know, we were starting
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: out and the medium price, the medium salary was what
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: between thirty eight thousand and forty two thousand dollars a year.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: Now for gen Z the starting out salary forty five
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: and these are inflation adjusted forty five thousand to fifty
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: five thousand starting out. Now here's where it gets interesting.
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: The typical home price for those of us in the
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: in the gen X world, where you can buy a
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: starter home from like eighty thousand to one hundred and
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: seventy thousand dollars for you know, on the nicer side,
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: gen z three hundred and fifty thousand dollars for this,
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: you know, to of four hundred and thirty thousand dollars
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: for the for the starter homes. So that's you know
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: you're looking at. Certainly cost have gone up. Let's go
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: to Lacey in the Woodlands, Texas, listening to us on
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: Patriot Talk nine twenty. I'm lazy. What's on your mind today?
• 57:26
  Speaker 11: Thank god?
• 57:26
  Speaker 10: How are you well?
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: Thank you for asking.
• 57:29
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I agree with a lot of the callers saying
• 57:31
  Speaker 11: that the younger people do buy, you know, go out
• 57:34
  Speaker 11: and eat too much. But I'm in the grocery store
• 57:36
  Speaker 11: every day, and I watch these grocery prices, Like that
• 57:39
  Speaker 11: man said, take your lunch. Yeah, it's a cheaper alternative,
• 57:42
  Speaker 11: but the prices in the grocery store are absolutely outrageous.
• 57:46
  Speaker 11: I can walk from today it's you what, twenty fifty
• 57:48
  Speaker 11: cents over the night.
• 57:50
  Speaker 15: Really it is a more Oh.
• 57:52
  Speaker 11: Yes, I'm in there every day. That's my lunch break.
• 57:54
  Speaker 11: And I'm like, it's just ridiculous how much the stuff is.
• 57:57
  Speaker 11: So a lunch that needs to cost us a dollar
• 58:00
  Speaker 11: to take brown bag, it's three or four dollars right now,
• 58:03
  Speaker 11: it is. It is crazy, and it is still cheaper
• 58:06
  Speaker 11: than eating out.
• 58:07
  Speaker 15: I totally agree.
• 58:08
  Speaker 11: With that, but I mean the prices, like even the
• 58:10
  Speaker 11: cheapest lunch meat is three four dollars of passage.
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: That's interesting. So so you've seen the prices go up dramatically.
• 58:19
  Speaker 11: Oh yes, and you can jump one day, like I said,
• 58:22
  Speaker 11: thirty to fifty cents and one day over something. Yes,
• 58:26
  Speaker 11: I see it all the time. I'm super super savvy
• 58:30
  Speaker 11: shopper and I always my motto is if it's not
• 58:34
  Speaker 11: on sale and we don't have a cupons, then we
• 58:36
  Speaker 11: don't need it.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: Wow. I just you know, I do. I do the coupons,
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: you know. I have found myself doing coupons. And again,
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: it's one thing. If you're you know, a multi bazillionaire,
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: you're you know, you're not going to care. You're just
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: you're not even gonna look at the prices. But I
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: think a lot of folks, you know, if you are
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: living paycheck to paycheck. That is going to hurt you
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: if those prices are going up in some cases, you know,
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: twice in a week.
• 59:03
  Speaker 11: Sure it does. And like you're saying, these gender people,
• 59:06
  Speaker 11: they are all about the instant gratification. But it's true
• 59:09
  Speaker 11: the prices are way more expensive than like twenty years
• 59:13
  Speaker 11: ago when I first started, you know, working that Oh yeah,
• 59:16
  Speaker 11: it was cheap enough to take your lunch and all that.
• 59:18
  Speaker 11: But now it's not like that.
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: Lacy, does it impact Do you think it impacts people's voting?
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you're still looking at super high prices
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: at the grocery store, yeah, you yes.
• 59:30
  Speaker 11: I think what I think one thing too. I think
• 59:34
  Speaker 11: one thing is that that uh sorry I lost my train.
• 59:41
  Speaker 11: I thought so if the prices don't come down, that's
• 59:44
  Speaker 11: one reason people don't vote, because we feel like the
• 59:46
  Speaker 11: same thing. Nothing's changed, nothing's going to change. And we
• 59:49
  Speaker 11: were even talking about it today and I'm like, I
• 59:51
  Speaker 11: don't think that we're never going to go back before
• 59:56
  Speaker 11: free COVID prices, none of us ever. They already know
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 11: they have you. You know, you're paying this price. They're
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 11: not They're not going to drop it down enough's to
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 11: make a significant amount on anything. It was like my
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 11: sister in law, she wanted to buy a new expedition
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 11: and they have excellent credit, and they told them it
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 11: was like nine percent interest, right, and they're going, but
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 11: we have great credit, it doesn't matter. We can get
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 11: to nine percent. So no, there's no offers on it
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 11: because we can already get it from people anyway. So
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 11: they already know they've got the American public body, you know.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 11: Like they said, there's no incentive because if people want
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 11: that vehicle, they're going to pay the nine percent. And
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 11: so they went with a with another vehicle, it's a
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 11: whole different brand and everything to get a better deal.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 11: And like if it wasn't about their credit or you know,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 11: anything like that, they just said, Nope, we're not offering
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 11: any incentives. This is a vehicle people want and they're
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 11: willing to pay that kind of nine percent interest rate.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: But it's insane in my head, Well, no, it is.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: It is absolutely insane, and I think it I think
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: it's you can say that this is a big combo
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: platter of issues, and especially with younger and gen Z
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: gen Z voters are you know, they're getting close to
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: thirty years old in some cases, so you're you're looking
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: at kids that are that are actually putting off, you know,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: starting starting their lives. You know, many of them still
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: live at home. And it's because of this, as you said,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: the you know, the affordability issues. So there you go, Lacy,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: thanks for your insight. Let's go to Georgia. Stud Muffin
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: is on the line listening to us on w GU
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: and Hello, Stud.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 9: Muffin, Hey, how you doing.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: I'm good. Thank you for asking.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 17: I'm calling and because I'm hearing stuff, it's kind of
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 17: making me a little angry.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 17: You can be poor and it can build you and
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 17: give you character as long as you understand that you
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 17: can get out of it and work towards it. I
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 17: have a lot of respect for somebody that's working and poor.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 17: He's not taking handouts, he's not crying the blues. He
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 17: can't have this. He doesn't go out to eat seven
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 17: days a week. I have a lot of respect for
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 17: a guy like that. And the key to it, to me, God,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 17: is you got to save. You got to buy. You
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 17: don't buy on credit, you don't buy on debit or loans.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 17: You save the money of every hour, how long it takes,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 17: and then you go buy. I haven't bought a new
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 17: car in probably thirty five years. Everything I buy is used.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 17: I've never bought a new house. Everything I bought I
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 17: had to do my own homework and fix it and
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 17: work on it. It can be done. But this whining
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 17: and crying is just too much.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I will say this, stud muffin. I have
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: a lot of respect for the people who aren't poor,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: who have made it in life. I mean, I have
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: great respect for those folks as well. I mean, I
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: get what you're saying here, but I think the challenge
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: for a lot of these folks is they don't want
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: to be poor, you know, they don't want to have
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: to live paycheck to paycheck, But sometimes that happens. I mean,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: that's been the way it's been since you know, we've
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: you know, since you know, I guess Noah, back in
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: the days of Noah. You know, you're always going to
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: have people with more than what you've got. But to
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: your point, again, if you are only making a certain
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: amount of money, you've got to figure out, all right,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: how do I live my life based on this amount
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: of money that I have? You know, what do I
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: need to do to get buy in some cases, you
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: may have to have a roommate. In some cases, like
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: you said, you may not be able to buy a
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: brand new car, which by the way, a lot of
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: folks do not recommend doing anyway, but get a get
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: a used car. So it's all it is about economizing
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: to a certain you know, to a certain point. But
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: Stud Muffin, my concern is we've got a generation of
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: kids that are becoming very disenfranchised. They've been taught in
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: their schools that America is bad, that capitalism is wrong,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: You've got the rise of socialism. And I hear what
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: you're saying, but I'm not sure that argument is going
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: to be resonating with those kids.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 17: Probably not, because they're being taught the wrong message. They're
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 17: not being taught to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 17: They're saying that they want the easy life, because if
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 17: it's given to them and they're believing it, it's garbage,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 17: absolute garbage.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: Stud Muffin, good thoughts, good comment. Nine oh one two
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six are telephone over. That's
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two sis
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: all this over, Burrito's Dylan.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 12: Hey, Burritos spark a lot of conversation nowadays.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: Well it's true, among other things. But yes, there you go.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: So we'll see how it all plays out. The I
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: think there's an argument to made on a lot of
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: different sides on this one. So it would be very
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: easy to to dismiss gen Z and say just suck
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: it up and deal with it. But I don't think.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's the right move here. I really don't.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. McKenny, Texas,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: Can we talk about what happened there last night? You
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: guys are really concerned about the rise of Islam in
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: your community and the local Muslims wanting to put up
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: a gigantic, ginormous mosque. Hundreds of people turned out at
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: city hall and said no more. Hundreds. The city council
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: meeting yesterday in McKenny, Texas, a suburb of Dallas, lasted
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: over five hours five hours, and at the end of
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: the day the McKenny City Council told all of the
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: people gathered screw you and voted seven to nothing to
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: approve the massive new mosque complex anyway, So your opinion
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter. It really doesn't matter. And it was quite
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: remarkable to see the turnout there in McKinney. But the
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: people there just don't They're concerned. Now the question is
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: do they have valid concerns. I do believe they have
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: valid concerns. I want to play some audio here. This
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: is Congressman Keith self, and you got to respect the congressman.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: He actually showed up at the meeting and addressed and
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: addressed the city council as a citizen and as the
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: congressman cut twenty five mayor and council.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 18: Fourteen hundred years history, the political Islam, you.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 12: Can't get away from it.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 18: I don't have time to talk about Syria, Egypt, Lebanon.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 18: I will talk about the two hundred and fifty thousand,
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 18: quarter of a million non Muslim girls abducted off of
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 18: the streets of UK. Modern times passed around the members
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 18: of the rape gang put back on the street.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 12: Look, rape is horror, horrific. Gang rape is horrific.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 18: But this was a demonstration of the dominance over man
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 18: made law, over the laws.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 12: Of the UK, as simple as that.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 18: The sad part is that the police have arrested some
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 18: of these girls for public drunkenness because they don't want
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 18: to be known as racist or Islamophobic. That's the saddest
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 18: part about it, besides the rate.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 12: Look, I know.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 18: You're in the accommodation phase, but the intimidation phase follows quickly.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 18: It's already happening in cities in Texas, child marriage, honor killings.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 18: Don't tell me it can't happen here, because it's already
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 18: happened in Texas. Where you kill a member of your
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 18: own family because they dishonored the family, beating your wife,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 18: polygamy all condoned under Shariah. Political Islam. Look, you and
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 18: I are no matters of conscience. The freedom to choose
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 18: our faith or not does not exist in political Islam.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 18: Ask any Muslim what the penalty is for leaving political Islam.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 12: It's death.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 18: I have any number of videos of emom's in America,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 18: modern day America, preaching sedition, open sedition against the US
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 18: Constitution and the laws of this land. Fourteen hundred years
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 18: of history. You can't get away from it. This is
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 18: your time, though, This is your moment of truth, This
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 18: is your time for choosing. Is this time, This is
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 18: your time to choose to honor your oath that starts
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 18: with the US Constitution. There is no state cavalry coming
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 18: to save you.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: This is your time.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 18: I yield back at balance of my time and I'll
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 18: say goodnight.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Congressman. It wasn't just a McKinney, Texas.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: Also in Mooresville, North Carolina, which I think is pretty
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: close to our friends WSIC, I think their signal covers Moresville.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: Hundreds of people there have attended a council meeting to
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: approach test a giant mosque in Mooresville, and they were
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: not told about it.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 19: Take a listen, examined closely whether the building of this
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 19: mosque is right for this community.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: I personally say no to Sharia law and this Muslim center.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 8: How can you serve and protect us when you can't
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 8: even tell us about a post mosque in our backyard.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 20: It was a full house tonight at the Moorsville Commissioners
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 20: meeting as the town considers a new mosque in the
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 20: city that has been met with controversy. Many and attendance
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 20: voiced their concerns about the new complex, with complaints ranging
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 20: from traffic issues and a lack of transparency, as the
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 20: potential property was not listed on tonight's agenda the board
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 20: commissioner responding to those citizens tonight, saying the property has
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 20: been a proof of religious use since it was annexed
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 20: into the town limits back in nineteen ninety eight. And
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 20: they went on to detail how much space the building
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 20: would take up and encourage the community to continue to
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 20: share their concerns about any proposed project.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: All right, and so now the local citizens are being
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: accused of issuing hateful and conspiratorial anti Muslim rhetoric, and
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: they're all upset about that. The Islamic Center of Charlotte,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: North Carolina, says ignorance and bigotry surround us. These people
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: would be funny if they were not so serious. Well,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean, if you don't want to be like,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: if that's what you think about the good people of
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: North Carolina, maybe you should take your mosque and go
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: back to wherever you came from. Maybe that's the solution here,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: all right? Nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: two six. This is the Todd Sterns Show. All right,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: let's go to the phones. Carrie and Memphis, Tennessee listening
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: to us on KWAM. I carry what's on your mind today?
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 21: Yeah?
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 22: I thought I wanted to get into this gen Z thing.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 22: Why they can buy a house in anything.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go right ahead.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 22: Well, one, they got too much debt already. They they
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 22: probably got college loans and student loans and stuff like that.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 22: But I tell you what, there's a wonderful clip from
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 22: a new from another guy does his radio show over
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 22: in Nashville. I think he does the debt free screams.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 22: And the couple is he's twenty six, she's twenty seven.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 22: He bought the house when they first started dating. One
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 22: hundred and eighty thousand dollars paid off in thirty two months.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: Wow. Well there you yeah, there you go. And that's
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: the way to do it, Carrie. Is you know if
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: you if you do put your mind to it, I mean,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: it's going to be a lot of work, and sometimes
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: it may mean working two or three jobs and maybe
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: a weekend gig. But if you've got a lot of debt,
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: you can actually whittle down that debt by doing exactly
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: what you said. Think. Thank you for the call. Let's
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: go to Ron and Georgia wdun Ron. What's on your mind?
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 6: Well, good afternoon, Todd, longtime listener, first time caller.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: Well welcome. What's on your mind?
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 6: Well, we were talking about inflation, talking about the cost
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 6: of things, And just for an example before I get
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 6: into some other things, do you have ingles shopping supermarkets
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 6: down there over in Memphis?
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: We do not. We have Kroger out here.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 6: Okay, Well, Bor's Head. Bor'shead is a name brand meat,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 6: and six or seven years ago you could buy a
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 6: pound of boar's head turkey for about nine dollars, and
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 6: I bought some yesterday. A pound of turkey was fifteen
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 6: dollars and forty eight cents at the store. And this
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 6: is a nut brand type supermarket and handles boar's head meets.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 6: But anyway, that's inflation, and that's what's going up now.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 6: But this started when they raised the minimum wage. Now
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 6: now you have people that were working at McDonald's and burking,
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 6: and these jobs were made for a teenager trying to
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 6: get educated in how to you know, handle their money,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 6: not for grown men that have three children at home.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 6: So now they're trying to live off of this kind
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 6: of wage. But anyway, they've increased the salaries now for
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 6: burger flippers, and the burger flippers are now making practically
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 6: fifteen dollars an hour, if not more. And I imagine
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 6: it's more than that on the on the West coast.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 6: But the professionals that were making in the twenties to
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 6: twenty five dollars an hour back, you know, I'm talking
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 6: six years ago or so. You know, their salaries had
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 6: to go up, you know, because if if somebody out
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 6: here could get a general job and making twelve fifty
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 6: to fourteen to fifteen hour, then they figured they needed
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 6: to be paid more too. And I don't blame them.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 6: I would too if I were out there doing that.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, no, I hear exactly. I hear what you're
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: saying there, Ron, And I wish we could talk longer,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: but the computer is going to cut us off here
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: here shortly. And again, you're right, those jobs were meant
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: for teenagers to work part time, and that's another component
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: of this. A lot of those jobs are just not available,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: and the kids had a very difficult time, very difficult
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: time trying to get summer jobs. So all right, hanging
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: tied everybody, Hour three coming.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: Up live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: It's America's conservative blowtorch.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: That Todd start, Well, Hello, everybody, welcome to the Tod
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: starts radio show. Good to have you with us our
• 1:15:25

• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: after party. You said you you were very kind, And
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: actually Helen was very kind because she said Todd. You know,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: I heard her whispering. We got to invite Todd.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 12: Yeah, you were right next to us. We should have
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 12: made it a little bit more u inconspicuous.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: I know, but I was tired and I had you know,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: I got to get up in the morning and I
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: had a lot of stuff to do. Man. What was
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: your takeaway of the big launch party?
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 17: Oh?
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 12: Yeah, it was big. It was fun. I love the
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 12: place that we went to, JoJo's Coffee. They have great
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 12: coffee and just a good environment to have people in,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 12: if that makes sense. It was a lot of fun,
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 12: a lot of good speakers, just you know, good fun.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: People got to meet you guys. We had about one
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty people all total, in and out, coming
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: and going, and then we sold a lot of books.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: People drank a lot of coffee and there was a
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: lot of fellowship last.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 12: Night and not a lot of sleep because the coffee
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 12: was drunk a little bit in the evening time.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: You know, I didn't even think about that. I had
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: iced tea, though I did.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 12: They I saw a lot of lemonades going around.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: Nothing wrong with the lemonade, nothing wrong with that. But anyway,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: JoJo's Espresso so kind to host our event last night.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: I know that State Senator Brent Taylor, who's going to
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: be the new congressman from the ninth Congressional District, delivered
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: some words. And a fellow by the name of Brad
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: Less who is running to be the sheriff. And you know,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: we need a really good sheriff here in here in Memphis.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: And that guy, he just talks like a sheriff, very intense, right,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: he is intense.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 12: He just kind of have to listen to everything he
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 12: says he needs.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: He needs one of the like the state trooper.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 12: Hats right, chisel jawline.

• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: brad Less, and I'm gonna whoop. I'm gonna whoop crimes.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: But maybe that should be the slogan. Yeah, I'm gonna
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: whoop crimes. But and I believe he would do it.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 12: He did look like the sheriff.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: He did. We didn't Yeah, we didn't even need security.

  Speaker 2: Trump Saved America? All right, I've got a question for you, folks.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: We're going to play through some audio here because there's
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of disturbing developments surrounding the rise of Islam
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: in the Southern States, and there were two competing city
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: councils last night. You had the situation in McKinney, Texas,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: and then in Morrisville, North Carolina, which I believe and
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: if somebody can correct us if I'm wrong here, but
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: I believe that is near the Statesville area, around the
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: Charlotte area as well. Hundreds of people turning out to
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: protest a proposed mosque there also in McKinney, Texas, a
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: suburb of Dallas, where local residents are just up in
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: arms about the creation of a mosque in their community.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: This is a local resident and an evangelist by the
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: name of William Stephen Dietrich, and he addressed the council
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: last night, Cut twenty two.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 24: Good evening, Mary Cox and members of the city council.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 24: My name is William Dietrich, and I am an evangelist
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 24: with Grace Covenant Baptist Church located here in McKinney. I
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 24: share the Gospel because I love the merciful God who
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 24: has saved me, and because I love my neighbors, but
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 24: also as an expression of my First Amendment right. Muslims
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 24: often say they are willing to abide by the laws
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 24: of the land if they moved to the United States.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 24: I had the opportunity to attend a dialogue between a
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 24: Christian pastor named James White and one of the amalms
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 24: at East Plano Islamic Center, Yosercadi. Yasser Kadi made the
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 24: claim that he and Muslims in general are willing to
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 24: submit to the law of the land if they moved
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 24: to the United States. However, he made this claim while
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 24: there was an active lawsuit from the Epic Mosque against
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 24: a ministry that I am involved with, named Testimonies of God.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 24: I was one of the john Does. In the lawsuit,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 24: Epic Mosque sued my friends Jason and Landon and the
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 24: rest of the evangelists involved for exercising their First Amendment right.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 24: We were not on their property. We were on a
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 24: plot of grass that was legally determined as a traditional
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 24: public forum. The case was dismissed, but now the leaders
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 24: of Epic Mosque are taking it to the appeals court.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 24: The point here is that Muslims are actively trying to
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 24: take away our religious and constitutional freedom. When Yasir Kadi
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 24: is in a room full of Christians, he says he
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 24: wants to submit to the laws of the land. When
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 24: he is teaching Muslims in his assembly, he says their
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 24: ultimate goal is to and I quote our goal living
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 24: amongst all of you is to wipe away your religion
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 24: and to replace it with Islam. Because I love my
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 24: religious freedom to believe in Christ, who is the mighty
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 24: God who died and rose again. I am not in
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 24: favor of placing a mosque here in McKinney. Their goal
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 24: is to take over, in place all that America stands for.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 24: If anyone wants to watch the video where Yaser Caudi's.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: Thank you mister deejen Ow they there's the guy um
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: there Jesus Low. So look, here's the question. You know
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: you've got an I Todd Stearns. I hold a minority
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: view on this. I do believe, but I don't believe
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: that Islam is in fact the religion. I believe it
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: is uh. It is a political ideology, and it is
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: very dangerous, and therefore we don't need it here in America.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I would go so far
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: as to say that that Islam is completely incompatible to
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: our constitution and our way of life. So here's what
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: I suspect is going to happen. No one's going to
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: have the courage to actually stand up and do anything
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: about this. On a from a legal perspective. They will
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: use the argument that this is really about freedom of religion.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: We've heard that from lawmakers on the Republican side of
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: the aisle. This is really all about you know, yeah
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: we I they go, yeah, we know. The the Islamis
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: want to cut our heads off, and you know they
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: want to destroy you know, Christianity, death to America, death
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: to as We get all that that when he killed
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: the Jews. They want to throw the gay people off
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: the buildings. But you know, we got freedom of religion,
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: so we got to we gotta let them in. We
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: just have to hope and pray they don't you know,
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: wigne geehaw on us. Well, ladies and gentlemen. That's what's
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: going to happen, and and there will There will come
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: a time here and again when you look at birthing
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: the Muslims are. They're popping out babies left and right.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 2: You Protestants out there, I don't know what the heck's
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: going on, but you're not having babies. Maybe we need
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: some or that Berry White music or Isaac Hayes. I
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: don't know, but we've got to do something to fix
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: this problem. There are there are more Muslims being born
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: than Methodist in America. I'm just look, I'm telling you
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: it's this is a matter of numbers. I mean, it
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: really is. When you look at what happened in Michigan,
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: that's a matter of numbers. The Muslims know they've got
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: the numbers, and they will vote end Mass and they
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: will vote for their guy or the gal if you
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: know they're in a burka. So anyway, people are just
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: really I think they're trying to figure out, how do
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: we fix this because there will come a time and
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: we're seeing this, for example, in places in Michigan where
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: they're getting rid of the church bells, they're replacing the
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: church bells with the Muslim called to prayer five times
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: a day. School systems are now adjusting their calendars to
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: accommodate the Muslims, and all you Christians and Jews are
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: basically being told to shut up and deal with it.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: So that's going to start happening soon in places like
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: Texas because the governor there, unbelievable governor there is real
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: He just Greg Abbott does not want to address this
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: issue at all. Cut number twenty three and.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 25: Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. So
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 25: I can come and speak in front of the council.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 25: I live in McKinney on Virginia Woods Strive, which is
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 25: not that far from this masque. And I tell you
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 25: the message of Christ is love for all, but we
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 25: should not be deceived by this message. I love all,
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 25: but I also question the intentions. What are the intentions
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 25: of this mask when Christians become extremists? Because somebody said
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 25: all religions have extremists in it, I really believe when
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 25: Christians become extremists, this save lives.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 3: They do not go and kill other people.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 25: I would question if there are not enough Muslims in McKinney,
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 25: and also have enough masques in DFW, then why McKinney
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 25: has one more mask. Why other than the weird agenda
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 25: of overtaking neighborhoods in the name of Jahad and convert Christians.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 25: I think my Muslim friends living in McKinney cannot afford
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 25: this millions of dollars of project themselves. This is must
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 25: be of foreign ferns who are working right here in McKinney,
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 25: and I would question the intentions of those foreign ferns
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 25: in the mckinne. I do not think McKinney has even
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 25: place for this agenda. I would ask my Muslim friends
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 25: from McKinny also to stand against this foreign ferns which
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 25: is working in the McKinney area and in the name
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 25: of Jahad and can work in Christians.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 3: Thank you give me your thinking.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would just encourage everybody to do your homework
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: on this. And you do need to do your homework
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 2: because whenever the Islamists invade a nation, they do it
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 2: to take over. It's not to make life better for
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: the Jews than the Christians or the gay people. It's
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: to take over. You will be forced to comply. I
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: mean that's ultimately when they take charge. That's the way
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 2: it will be. And when you watch the Islamification of
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: Congress for example. So the question is how do we
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: deal with it? How do we deal with this? And
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: this is something that I think the Republican Party especially
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: is going to have to grapple with the Democrats and
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: hear me on this though the Democrats may actually have
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: to address this before us, and the reason why is
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: their demographic. The LGBT movement will will be in the
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: crosshairs of a lot of this nine oh one two
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. Our telephone number, that's
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: Again in the break head over to Amazon pre order
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: a copy of The Golden Age in bookstores next Tuesday.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 2: We'll be right back, all right. Can we talk about
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: Judge Janine for a minute. The New York Times did
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: a big uh man. This White House is leaking like
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: a sieve. Never seen anything like this. Judge Janine is well,
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: she's at odds right now with President Trump, and the
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: President's really frustrated with Janine over this, the story about
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: the reflecting pool. And I want to weigh in on
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: this because Judge Janine is actually in the right here.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: You know, Judge Janine, at the end of the day,
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 2: she put her hand on the Bible and she swore
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: to uphold the laws of the land. And apparently she was.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: She and the Justice Department were served up a Billa
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: Goods by Doug Bergham over at the Department of Interior. Now,
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: according to the Times insider information here, and I believe
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: every single bit of this only because you understand why
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: Judge Janine did what she did. Janine Piro had had
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: it up to hear with Doug Burgham. Now her future
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 2: is on the line. As a matter of fact, Todd
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: Blanche was asked about her future and he says, well,
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 2: the President has the right to fire her. Jes A Loo.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: Everybody's looking out for their own behinds here. But the
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: President had accused Judge Janine of folding like an umbrella
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: and choking after she withdrew charges against a guy accused
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: of destroying the lining of the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: And he was angry because Janine had publicly demolished one
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: of his narratives promoted by Secretary Burgham, that vandals and
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 2: not a contractor, defaced a Washington landmark. The President also
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: raged against miss Piro in private on Monday, and then
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: he raged a little to reporters rumors that she would
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: be fired. Burbled through the West Wing. I don't think
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 2: she's going to be fired. Then he raged a little
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 2: bit more before hosting a high drama face to face
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 2: meeting with Miss Piro at the White House. Mister Burgham
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: had been invited to, so Janine came prepared, shared to
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: the White House from the West Executive Driveway and a
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: bright red blazer that matched her fight back mood. Schlepping
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: a white box containing evidence plus a black box with
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: documents on wheels. After about an hour of intents back
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: and forth, she emerged with her job intact now. During
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: the meeting, Miss Piro, her voice raised at times, directly
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: confronted mister Burgham, accusing him of misleading the President. She
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 2: made the case that Bergham had promoted a self serving
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: cover story to conceal his own misteps. Mister Burgham spoke less,
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: but did his best to defend himself. Spokespeople for the
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: White House Miss Piro and mister Burgham did not respond
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: to requests for comments. But the end of the if
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: you get down to the gist of it here, is
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: that the people that were responsible, the contractors, botched the job.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: And when Piero and her team got all of the information, well,
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: they realized they did not have a case because the document,
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: actually this court filing pretty much amounted to an indictment
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: of the Interior Secretary, the contractor hired to repair the pool,
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: and US Park Police. Miss Piro suggested that Bergermann committed
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: the twofold sent of failing to competently oversee the renovation,
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: and then prodded the President to accept the vandals did
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: its story. Miss Piro said her staff had relied almost
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: exclusively on claims by the Interior Department that extensive damage
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 2: to the lighting was caused by the former Olympic athlete
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: and other vandals, but after reviewing thousands of pages of evidence,
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: she concluded that apartment had rushed and botched the renovation
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: and that bad info from park police led her to
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 2: cite tremendous evidence against the Olympian that did not exist.
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: So there you go. And again, it seems to me
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 2: that the President's number one ally in all of this
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 2: is Judge Janine, who was going the extra mile to
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 2: do her job and protect the president. The question is,
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: what about Doug Bergham, Why does he still have a job?
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 2: Our telephone number, that's nine oh one two six zero
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. This is the Todd Starns Show.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: All right, Here is Katie Britt, the Senator from Alabama,
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: going after the Michigan Senate candidate Abdul Lsied cut twenty eight.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 26: Please, this is a sad day for America. I mean,
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 26: the fact that this man could win an election is
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 26: absolutely unbelievable. We know that this Democratic Socialist of America
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 26: movement has shown us that they do nothing but hate America.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 26: We saw them actually on your very network talking about
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 26: all of the things they wanted to see, no ice,
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 26: they wanted to see, no police, they wanted to essentially
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 26: do away with the government, no jails, all of these
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 26: kinds of things. But you have to let's connect the
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 26: first conversation we had to this one and when it
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 26: comes to Iran and it comes to what's happening. He
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 26: is actually a g hottist sympathizer. We saw him just
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 26: two days ago, lsaid at a pool party with Hassan Piker,
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 26: who said that America deserved nine to eleven. These are
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 26: not people who stand with us and for our values,
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 26: and they're infiltrating from within. We have to make sure
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 26: to stand firmly and say we love this country, we
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 26: want to fight for the citizens of this country, and
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 26: we want to make sure that there's peace and prosperity
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 26: here and.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: Across the globe.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, I mean, it's she's absolutely right. So look, there
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: was a couple, there were a couple of other big
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 2: races that call our attention. You will remember this guy,
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 2: his name is sree thing Dar and he's Indian, barely
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 2: speaks a lick of English. And the guy got his
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: button handed to him. He's a congressman from Michigan. He
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: got beat by a Democratic Socialist. Anyway, this guy wanted
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: to impeach Donald Trump. He the guy was a moron
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: and he wore a he wore a really bad to
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 2: pay a really bad hair piece cut twenty seven.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 23: I don't know what are the five gross points cities?
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 3: Well, look, I'm not here to answer a quiz.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 25: I'm here to say that I'm going to fight for
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 25: the people of Detroit.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 12: I'm going to fight.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 23: For my gross point and all of the gross lines
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 23: and all of Taylor and every course, every part of
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 23: the thirteenth District comes. Do this real quick, gross point,
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 23: gross point park, gross point woods, grow, gross point farms,
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 23: and gross point choice. You know in your campaign, farmlings,
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 23: it says occupation, yours says United States Government. Aren't you
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 23: employed by the people in the United States? Yeah, I
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 23: am okay to fix that one. Okay, And finally you're
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 23: getting nailed with this one. The beagles you abandoned. The
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 23: beagles left him to die in their cages.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 2: I love anamals thirteen. Uh, that's that guy. Yeah, so
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 2: he could not name any of the neighborhoods in his
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: own congressional district that he that he represents. This guy is.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 2: But anyway, he's gone, he's he's done. Unbelievable. Nine oh
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five dying two six are telephone number.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 2: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. Yeah,
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: he left. If you remember, he left over one hundred
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 2: beagles and a couple of monkeys in a pharmaceutical testing
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 2: lab that the guy owned. Not good, not good. He's
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: kind of like a you know, like an Indian version
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: of doctor for Alci, I suppose, I mean, if you
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 2: want to go down that path here also, I want
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: to play some some of this.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 6: This is.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 2: I want to go back to al said for just
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: a moment. Cut number twenty six.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 4: We need Democrats will have the courage to stand up
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 4: to the power brokers in our own party, let alone
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 4: Trump and his goals.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 5: We don't back down. We don't back down. We don't
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 5: back down with all due respective. They go low, we
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 5: don't go high. We take them to the mud and
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 5: choke them out, and they will they will do that
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 5: all right. Tommy Larin the other day interviewing Pete Sessions,
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 5: a Congressman from Texas who's a Republican by the way,
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 5: and Sessions has co sponsored House Resolution HR ninety five
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 5: thirty five.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 2: You say, what does that do. Well, it's called the
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 2: Securing a Culture's Workforce Act, and it expands the H two,
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: a temporary visa program. So the whole point of this
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: is farmers are saying they can't find American citizens willing
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: to work in the fields, and therefore they need to
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: bring in people from other countries. Cut number two.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 19: So I just have to ask you, if this isn't amnesty,
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 19: Please tell me what I'm misunderstanding.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 27: Well, the first thing I'd say is ambec is when
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 27: we give citizenship, and that does not do this. But
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 27: let me go back a little bit, because it's really
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 27: a story that needs to be told. I am a
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 27: thirty two year member of the Texas Farm Bureau. I
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 27: represent a rural district many cowcaf operations and dairy operations,
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 27: among other agricultural types of business. The important thing for
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 27: us to remember is that we are losing tens of
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 27: thousands of family owned biss businesses, not just in Texas,
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 27: but across the country because of the stresses and strains
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 27: that come from a variety of factors. Notwithstanding in Texas
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 27: a lot of people who lose their land for solar
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 27: operations or ai to support data centers.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 3: But here's the bottom line.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 27: If we do not do something to turn around the
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 27: loss of family farms, we will first go to corporate farms,
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 27: and corporate farming will simply take over America and we
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 27: will have lost those things that are about family farm
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 27: and farming in communities. If we do not solve this,
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 27: and we talk about agriculture being a national security issue,
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 27: we will have to import our food and it is
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 27: literally to that point.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 3: We already are faced with.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 27: Heavy imports from Mexico and other places south bound. It
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 27: is a national security issue that we have family farms,
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 27: that we have people who who can produce our food,
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 27: and the families are stressed, they're becoming older, and the
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 27: cost of doing business is driving people out of business.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 3: One last point.
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 27: We spend a lot of time as capitalists talking about
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 27: the stock market and how great the stock market is.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 27: Farmers in rancher stock market is in their fields, it
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 27: is five hundred thousand dollars combines. It is extensive tubes
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 27: and piping and water, and they simply are struggling right now,
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 27: just like anybody else, because of tariffs and the problems
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 27: that we have with foreign markets.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 3: So I have joined Gt.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 27: Thompson, a very dear friend of mine, also fellow Eagle scout,
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 27: to say we've got to save our family farms.
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 3: This is about getting up workers.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 19: Congressman, with all due respect, I'm from South Dakota and
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 19: agriculture state. I come from a ranching family, and I
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 19: deeply resent the narrative that family farms and ranches must
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 19: rely on illegal aliens, otherwise they won't be able to survive.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 19: There are a variety of reasons why our farmers and
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 19: ranchers are perhaps struggling right now. I would love mandatory
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 19: country of origin labeling. You mentioned foreign products. I certainly
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 19: agree with you on that point, but to insist that
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 19: we simply need to have illegal aliens that are willing
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 19: to work for less, undercutting the American worker and the
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 19: American farmers and ranchers and helping hands that could make
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 19: a good living doing this if not for the influx
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 19: of illegal aliens on these farms and ranches. I'm sorry,
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 19: but I deeply resent that. What do you say to
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 19: the family farmers and ranchers who have a legacy of
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 19: doing it the right way, who don't hire illegal aliens
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 19: and find your comments to be a little offensive to them.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 27: Well, first of all, you're the first person that's met
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 27: that ever state did that. The bottom line is, we
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 27: have tens of thousands of job openings right now in
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 27: the state of Texas.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 3: We cannot fill them. It is hard work, it is.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 27: Getting up at four o'clock, and it's living in the
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 27: right areas Americans are willing.
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 19: To get up at four am. Sir, With all due respect,
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 19: I'm going to turn it to my colleagues now, but
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 19: I just deeply resent that assertion.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's got a point there, and again I would
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 2: Here's what I would do, because again the argument is,
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: we can't find Americans willing to do these jobs, so
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 2: therefore we have to bring in people from other countries. Now,
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 2: back in two thousand and five, they were bringing in
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: roughly forty eight thousand h two a visa holders. All right,
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 2: So those are the people coming in temporarily to pick
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: the whatever they're growing in at the farm in twenty
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: twenty four, that number had grown to three hundred and
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: eighty five thousand guest workers working in the farms. Now,
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 2: is this true? Is this true that Americans are not
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 2: willing to work here? Because I have an idea. You know,
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 2: there are a lot of people on food stamps on
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 2: welfare in this country. Why don't we recruit people that
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: are currently on food stamps? And I'll take that a
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 2: step further and say this, Those are good paying jobs
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 2: to a point. I mean, yes, it's hard work you're
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 2: working in the fields, but at the end of the day,
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 2: those jobs pay upwards of thirty five thirty six thousand
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 2: dollars a year. Now is that enough to take care
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: of a family.
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 28: No?
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 2: But I'm just telling you that if you are if
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 2: you don't have work, if you can't find a job,
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 2: there are jobs to be had. Question is I mean,
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 2: if this is, if what the congressman is saying is true,
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 2: that would imply that the American people, the unemployed American people,
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 2: are lazy and do not want to go and do
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 2: the job. And I just and maybe that's a part
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 2: of it. Nine oh one two six zero five to nine.
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 2: We'll be right back, all right, welcome back. Sorry about that, folks,
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 2: got a little choked up there. These allergies are eating
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 2: my lunch this week. My goodness. All right, So Denver
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 2: City Council, they've got a big problem on their hands.
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 2: We have the story at Todd Sterns dot com and
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 2: I'd love for you to go and check it out.
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 2: It's a hoot. The University Council again debating the idea
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 2: of this slavery acknowledgment which we mentioned yesterday, and they're
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 2: doubling down on all of this, and they believe that
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: they should be starting at every city council meeting with
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 2: some sort of an acknowledgment about how bad slavery is,
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 2: considering the fact, of course, that slavery was never an
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 2: issue in the territory of Colorado or in the state
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 2: of Colorado, which, of course Colorado became a state many
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 2: years after the War of Northern Aggression cut number thirteen place.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 29: Think about like my family's history, and my dad was
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 29: a migrant worker and grew up working in the fields,
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 29: and so I'm just I see this, and I also
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 29: think of an experience of Colorado and of what like
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 29: my family has experienced, and I'm asking was their consideration
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 29: of expanding or broadening to be able to reflect that Now.
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 28: I think we thought about it in the same way
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 28: that we did the land acknowledgment, in terms of like
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 28: foundational like the foundational experience within this country, and so
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 28: the labor being specific to those that were taken from
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 28: Africa onto this continent, and that labor being forced.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 21: Do you know of another city that names a perpetrator group?
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 21: So like the phrase at the hind at the hinds
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 21: at the hands of white Americans. I know that there
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 21: are a bunch of labor acknowledgements that talk about systems
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 21: like white settler colonialism, but it doesn't talk about groups. Historically,
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 21: you know, the family of labor acknowledgements tend to talk
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 21: more about systems instead of groups.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 28: So again, these the language came from examples from all
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 28: across the country that we had kind of put together.
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 28: I would imagine that is probably uncomfortable, But in the
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 28: conversations that we had had, no one had pulled that
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 28: out specifically to say, hey, can we look at this
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 28: language and do something differently.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 2: So anyway, there you have it. At some point, I mean,
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 2: and again they do the land acknowledgment They want to
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 2: do the slave acknowledgment, And and where do you draw
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 2: the line? I mean, at some point are we going
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 2: to have do we all want to acknowledge that I
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 2: don't know, smoking may be unhealthy for you, or that
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 2: driving drunk might be might be bad for you and
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: for others on the roadways, or what about cholesterol? Should
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 2: we start the council meeting with some sort of an
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 2: acknowledgment that eating is an entire box of ho hos
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 2: might be bad for your health, might lead to diabetes?
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 2: Is that, Kim, where do you draw the line? This
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 2: is what I'm I'm getting nine oh one two six
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one two
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. Dylan. You know, next
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 2: week we're going to be broadcasting our show from the
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 2: FedEx Saint Jude Championship Golf Tournament, which may be what
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 2: the next to the last year they're abandoning Memphis.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 12: Yeah, next to the last year. It's a sad story.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 2: This is crazy. They've been playing that tournament here for years.
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 12: Yeah, it's been a huge thing in Memphis every single year,
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 12: and it's a great environment to be there. I mean,
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 12: it's we're happy to be there this year, but who knows.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 12: I mean, I guess next year, I don't even know
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 12: what it's gonna be.
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, tell Parker to hop into the studio here because
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 2: I want to get his take on this as our
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 2: sports guy. But again, this is this is sort of
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 2: a shock. So what's happening here? So they're getting rid
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 2: of them? So right now you've got folks like Scotty
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 2: Shuffler coming into town and you know they're hobnobin and
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 2: hanging out, and they've been doing this for a long time.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 2: And Parker, what are they I mean, that goes away,
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 2: what are they replacing it with?
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 12: It is really sad.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 30: As you mentioned, the PGA toursment a staple in Memphis
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 30: since the nineteen fifties, and I think they're still gonna
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 30: be here at some point, but you don't know what
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 30: quality of players. You mentioned the likes of Scotti Scheffler
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 30: here next week with just the top seventy players a
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 30: very exclusive event, and now with the change coming in
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 30: twenty twenty eight, it seems like it could be a
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 30: B tier event at best, which really hurts the economy.
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 12: This event could bring.
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 2: Guys I'm following a I don't. It's maybe it's just me.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 2: I'm reading too much into this. I just you know,
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 2: this has been a concern I think since the passing
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 2: of Fred Smith, you know, the founder of FedEx, and
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 2: there's there was a lot of concern. I didn't seem
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 2: to feel or sense a lot of concern coming out
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 2: of City Hall over all of this.
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 30: Yeah, I think they did a great job honoring Fred
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 30: Smith in the last couple of years with the tournaments,
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 30: and they've done a great job. And as you mentioned,
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 30: we talked about it with local sports like the soccer
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 30: team and the Memphis Redbirds, and the golf tournament might
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 30: now be the next victim of this.
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 2: So yeah, so city Hall only seems to be concerned
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 2: dealing with basketball.
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 12: I'm not surprised. I don't think we're allowed to say why.
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 12: I'm not surprised, but I am not surprised.
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 2: No, I mean it's you know, literally, we lost our soccer,
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 2: our professional soccer team. Yes, they left the our minor
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 2: league ball team, the Redbirds, which is what they're an
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 2: affiliate of the Saint Louis Cardinals. Yep, they were getting
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 2: close and that's not necessarily a done deal, but they
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 2: could get the heave ho.
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 12: Yeah, they're fighting for their lives out here.
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 30: They need a stadium renovation about ten years ago.
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy. And then but if it's the Memphis Grizzlies,
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 2: or if it's the the Memphis Basketball and they got
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 2: basketball hoops all over the place.
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 12: This is true.
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 2: It doesn't give a lot of wonder what is even
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 2: the football They don't care about the football teams. Well,
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 2: they're trying through.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 12: They're trying to care about the football team.
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 2: They put two.
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 30: Hundred million into the Liberty Ball renovation.
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 2: So no, no, no, not know that the city didn't do
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 2: that the University of Memphis, right, that has nothing to
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 2: do with the city or back to zero. No, no, no,
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 2: yeah that's yeah. But look the Memphis hound Dogs, you know,
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 2: the h the Arena.
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 12: League that was whatever that is.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 2: That's where we're at. Guys. It's really sad.
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 12: I still need to make a game. You need to
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 12: go out there.
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 2: It's I think they're done. They don't have the time now.
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 12: Yeah, season over there. That's such a waste. The hound Dogs,
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 12: that's so cool. That's like a Memphis thing.
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 2: We lost our NFL team to Nashville.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 12: For goodness sakes, Yes, everything everybody wants to move everything
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 12: to Nashville. They don't want to keep it in Memphis
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 12: or move it even further than Nashville. I don't even know.
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 2: Well, it would be nice if we just cared and
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 2: I think you know again, and you talk about basketball,
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 2: even the Memphis Grizzlies. There have been some rumblings. So yeah,
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 2: I'll know, we'll see. Uh, it's a it's a tough situation.
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 2: Memphis got to get its act together, got to get
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 2: its act together, and that's coming out of city Hall.
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 2: They should have they should have been all over this
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 2: uh FedEx Saint Chee championship. What a what a disappointing story.
• 1:51:35
