- 0:10Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 0:14Speaker 1: America's favorite gun, total Bible clinging, deplorable America.
- 0:18Speaker 2: That's us that this American.
- 0:25Speaker 3: Jud starts Hello, Hello, everybody. My voice cracked there, Jesus
- 0:31Speaker 3: a loop. Hey, Happy Saint Patrick's Day to you America.
- 0:35Speaker 3: And a lot of the h a lot of the
- 0:38Speaker 3: Irish are celebrating. And by the way, have you noticed
- 0:41Speaker 3: this is idle of the one holiday that everybody gets
- 0:45Speaker 3: to culturally appropriate, because I see a lot of people
- 0:48Speaker 3: celebrating today who are not in fact of Irish descent. Regardless,
- 0:53Speaker 3: it is great to have It's great to have you
- 0:55Speaker 3: along for the conversation today. And we've got a lot,
- 0:59Speaker 3: a lot of news you get to. Of course, everybody
- 1:02Speaker 3: is talking about the resignation of Joe Kent, one of
- 1:07Speaker 3: the nation's top counter terrorism guys. Joe Kent the director
- 1:12Speaker 3: of the National counter Terrorism Center, also inside the Whitehouse.
- 1:18Speaker 3: He was known as one of the leakers. Now, just
- 1:24Speaker 3: a little while ago we got word that Joe Kent
- 1:27Speaker 3: had officially resigned. He announced his resignation citing his opposition
- 1:33Speaker 3: to the Iran war, and he also said that Israel
- 1:37Speaker 3: had undue influence over the Trump administration's policies. The mister
- 1:43Speaker 3: Kent writing a letter, and he posted all of this
- 1:46Speaker 3: on social media. He says, I cannot in good conscious
- 1:49Speaker 3: support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no eminent
- 1:54Speaker 3: threat to our nation, and it is clear that we
- 1:56Speaker 3: started this war due to pressure from Israel and its
- 2:00Speaker 3: powerful American lobby. Mister Kent now becomes the highest ranking
- 2:07Speaker 3: Trump administration official to quit over the Iran war. This
- 2:10Speaker 3: is coming from the New York Slimes, their post published
- 2:15Speaker 3: just a little while ago. Now Tucker Carlson is very
- 2:23Speaker 3: excited about all of this. As a matter of fact, Tucker,
- 2:27Speaker 3: doing a brief interview with the New York Slimes said,
- 2:31Speaker 3: quote Joe as the bravest man I know, and he
- 2:33Speaker 3: can't be dismissed as a nut. He's leaving a job
- 2:36Speaker 3: that gave him access to highest level relevant intelligence. The
- 2:42Speaker 3: neocons will now try to destroy him for that. He
- 2:45Speaker 3: understands that and did it anyway. Mister Kent has longhand
- 2:51Speaker 3: a penchant for conspiracy theories, claiming that intelligence officials had
- 2:56Speaker 3: a hand in the violence around the J six attack
- 2:58Speaker 3: on the Capitol and some Republicans were quick to call
- 3:02Speaker 3: out mister Kent's remarks on Israel. As a matter of fact,
- 3:06Speaker 3: Congressman Don Bacon, who is a far left Republican also
- 3:10Speaker 3: a former brigadier general in the Air Force, responded this
- 3:15Speaker 3: way to mister Kent's resignation, good riddance. Anti Semitism is
- 3:21Speaker 3: an evil eye detest and we surely don't want it
- 3:24Speaker 3: in our government. Mister Kent's post included the resignation letter
- 3:31Speaker 3: addressed to President Trump, in which he argued that Israeli
- 3:35Speaker 3: officials drew the United States into the conflict with Iran.
- 3:42Speaker 3: Mister Kent wrote about what he saw as a misinformation
- 3:45Speaker 3: campaign by high ranking Israeli officials in the news media.
- 3:50Speaker 3: He said he had undermined mister Trump. He said all
- 3:53Speaker 3: of that had undermined the President's America First platform and
- 3:57Speaker 3: sewed pro war sentiments to incur war with Iran. I
- 4:02Speaker 3: want to stop here for just a moment, and I
- 4:04Speaker 3: want to read. I'm going to read the entire letter
- 4:07Speaker 3: that he posted. I think this is important for us
- 4:09Speaker 3: to have, what a conversation about, because there is a
- 4:17Speaker 3: there's just a lot of fog right now within the
- 4:21Speaker 3: administration and why specifically we are at war in Iraq?
- 4:27Speaker 3: Why are we there? What is the reason for that? Now,
- 4:31Speaker 3: this guy Joe Kin is not some sort of a
- 4:33Speaker 3: fly by night at all, And the reality is that
- 4:42Speaker 3: there is a divide within MAGA world. And I'm trusting
- 4:47Speaker 3: the president on this and I have from day one,
- 4:49Speaker 3: and you guys know my position here. Donald Trump took
- 4:53Speaker 3: a bullet in the head for the nation, so therefore
- 4:56Speaker 3: I'm willing to give him a whole lot of leeway.
- 5:00Speaker 3: But I was reading a note yesterday some family members.
- 5:05Speaker 3: They have a loved one, a child who is serving
- 5:08Speaker 3: in the military, and they were told that that individual
- 5:11Speaker 3: may in fact be deployed until possibly May or June,
- 5:16Speaker 3: which means that this war could go on. I know
- 5:20Speaker 3: we've already declared victory, but the fighting is still going
- 5:24Speaker 3: on and there really is no end in sign because
- 5:27Speaker 3: I don't think anybody understands what the what is the
- 5:29Speaker 3: end game here? Were we Did we go into Iran
- 5:33Speaker 3: for regime change? Do we go into to destroy their
- 5:39Speaker 3: capability to build nuclear weapons? What exactly is why are
- 5:45Speaker 3: we there? And that is something that I think the
- 5:47Speaker 3: American people deserve to know. I think it's important for
- 5:51Speaker 3: us to understand exactly why we are there. Clearly, within
- 5:54Speaker 3: the administration there has been a divide on this. It's
- 5:59Speaker 3: very clear that the vice president of the United States
- 6:02Speaker 3: disagrees with the president's position on this. But the vice
- 6:06Speaker 3: president being a team player, but he clearly has backed
- 6:09Speaker 3: away from those conversations. And that's a noble thing to do,
- 6:13Speaker 3: and that's a respectable thing to do. But now that
- 6:15Speaker 3: you have administration officials coming out, and here's going to
- 6:19Speaker 3: be the argument from the other side. As a matter
- 6:21Speaker 3: of fact, the White House is offering some commentary on this,
- 6:24Speaker 3: and I'll tell you what. I'll read that to you.
- 6:26Speaker 3: This is coming from Caroline Levin, and I want to
- 6:31Speaker 3: let me read this from Caroline Lovin, all right, she said,
- 6:33Speaker 3: And I wish we had audio here, but I'm just
- 6:37Speaker 3: we're just getting statements. So we're passing all of this
- 6:40Speaker 3: along to you as we get it. This is all
- 6:43Speaker 3: happening in real time, so Caroline Levi it says there
- 6:46Speaker 3: are many false claims in the letter, but let me
- 6:48Speaker 3: address one specifically, that Iran posed no imminent threat to
- 6:52Speaker 3: our nation. This is the same false claim that democrats
- 6:56Speaker 3: and some in the liberal media have been repeating over
- 6:58Speaker 3: and over. President Trump has clearly and explicitly stated he
- 7:03Speaker 3: had strong and compelling evidence that Iran was going to
- 7:06Speaker 3: attack the United States first. This evidence was compiled from
- 7:10Speaker 3: many sources and factors. President Trump would never make the
- 7:15Speaker 3: decision to deploy military assets against a foreign adversary in
- 7:20Speaker 3: a vacuum. Iran is the world's leading sponsor of leading
- 7:25Speaker 3: state sponsor of terrorism. The Iranian regime is evil. It's
- 7:30Speaker 3: a long statement, air folks, so bear with me. Iran
- 7:35Speaker 3: proudly killed Americans, waged war against our country, openly threatened us.
- 7:39Speaker 3: All the way up to the launch of Operation Epic Fury,
- 7:43Speaker 3: Iran was aggressively expanding their short range ballistic missiles to
- 7:47Speaker 3: combine with her naval assets to give themselves immunity, meaning
- 7:51Speaker 3: they would have a degree of capability that would give
- 7:53Speaker 3: them immunity to hold US and the rest of the
- 7:55Speaker 3: world hostage. The President, I'm just sort of scrolling through
- 8:01Speaker 3: this long message here from the White House. So here's
- 8:06Speaker 3: the problem with this. We don't need a long statement
- 8:09Speaker 3: from the White House. We need the President and his
- 8:12Speaker 3: team to come out and respond to these accusations. We
- 8:16Speaker 3: don't need a long statement and what's going to happen
- 8:18Speaker 3: is people are going to say, oh, Joe Kent was
- 8:20Speaker 3: a rogue guy. No, no, he was hired by the administration.
- 8:25Speaker 3: So again, this administration has a very bad track record
- 8:30Speaker 3: when it comes to hiring people. So one of two
- 8:33Speaker 3: things is one of two things is true here. The
- 8:37Speaker 3: White House is telling the truth, President Trump is telling
- 8:40Speaker 3: the truth here, or Joe Kent is telling the truth.
- 8:43Speaker 3: And Joe Kent this represents the divide right now within
- 8:48Speaker 3: the Republican Party and the MAGA movement to some extent,
- 8:51Speaker 3: because again it's you've got to factor into the context
- 8:56Speaker 3: here because you have the Tucker Carlson's and the Meghan
- 8:59Speaker 3: Kellys and the Owens and the Nick Fuenteses and the
- 9:02Speaker 3: Steve Bannons and the Alex Joneses. And yeah, those are
- 9:06Speaker 3: only a handful of people, but their message goes out
- 9:09Speaker 3: to millions of people, and millions of people are influenced
- 9:14Speaker 3: by what they hear from this crowd. And now what's
- 9:17Speaker 3: happened here is that Joe Kent has become their savior
- 9:22Speaker 3: to some extent, because Joe Kent is now basically giving
- 9:26Speaker 3: credibility to everything that Tucker and all the others have
- 9:31Speaker 3: been saying. So my question, ladies and gentlemen, as we're
- 9:37Speaker 3: working through all of this, do you have concerns about
- 9:40Speaker 3: the war? Do you believe that we should just continue
- 9:44Speaker 3: to trust the White House and continue to trust President
- 9:47Speaker 3: Trump that he knows what he is doing here and
- 9:50Speaker 3: that because look, I think they thought that Iran was
- 9:57Speaker 3: going to cave on day one, that it was going
- 9:59Speaker 3: to be sort of in and out, you know, a
- 10:01Speaker 3: four three to four week you know thing, and you know,
- 10:05Speaker 3: we were in and out of there. I don't think
- 10:08Speaker 3: that's happening. So again, one of the reasons and one
- 10:12Speaker 3: of the reasons why they and this is a very
- 10:14Speaker 3: practical reason here, one of the reasons why they may
- 10:16Speaker 3: not be telling us what the objectives really are and
- 10:20Speaker 3: or the objectives are changing, is because when they can
- 10:24Speaker 3: come out, they could come out this afternoon and say
- 10:27Speaker 3: the war is over, we have completed our objections, we're
- 10:31Speaker 3: out of here, and you're like, wait, what what well,
- 10:34Speaker 3: what what were we there for? They never have to
- 10:37Speaker 3: tell us. So, ladies and gentlemen, it's it's an odd
- 10:43Speaker 3: place to be in right now. And I'm still I'm
- 10:47Speaker 3: still a part of Team Trump. But I'm open to
- 10:49Speaker 3: hearing all sorts of theories and ideas about what is
- 10:52Speaker 3: really going on inside the administration right now. I'm not
- 10:56Speaker 3: willing to say, and I know there are people out
- 10:58Speaker 3: there that saying, well, we're losing our way here. No,
- 11:00Speaker 3: I don't think we are, but I think we're in
- 11:03Speaker 3: danger of that, and it's going to be very important
- 11:06Speaker 3: for the president to get refocused on domestic issues. What
- 11:12Speaker 3: is the phrase I'm looking for, leckety split. Yeah, he
- 11:16Speaker 3: needs to. We're going to have to refocus our efforts
- 11:20Speaker 3: on the domestic agenda because there's a lot to do there.
- 11:24Speaker 3: And I'm telling you, I was getting messages last night.
- 11:27Speaker 3: I don't know if you filled up your tank, but
- 11:29Speaker 3: we and we warned you. Gas prices are going to
- 11:31Speaker 3: go up. Gas prices have gone up, and short term memory,
- 11:35Speaker 3: nobody's going to care that they're still lower than when
- 11:38Speaker 3: they were high during the Biden administration. They're going to
- 11:41Speaker 3: care because the prices came down and now they've gone
- 11:45Speaker 3: back up. And that's the reality of the of the
- 11:48Speaker 3: war right now. So you know, that's hopefully going to
- 11:52Speaker 3: resolve itself. But hear me, if we are still in
- 11:55Speaker 3: the middle of hostilities in June and July. Yeah, it's
- 12:02Speaker 3: going to be a hard sell for the Republicans to
- 12:05Speaker 3: get reelected. I mean, I'm just I'm being honest with you.
- 12:08Speaker 3: Is because the American people did not sign up for
- 12:11Speaker 3: another long, forever war. And that's what this is certainly
- 12:16Speaker 3: looking like. Because again, why are we there? That's the question.
- 12:21Speaker 3: What is the purpose? And my question also would be, Okay,
- 12:27Speaker 3: we were under emminent threat. Has the threat been neutralized?
- 12:31Speaker 3: Have we been able to neutralize that threat? And look,
- 12:35Speaker 3: they may not be able to come out and tell us,
- 12:36Speaker 3: and I don't want them to come right out and
- 12:39Speaker 3: say here's what we're going to do, but I think
- 12:42Speaker 3: at some point they're going to have to tell us
- 12:44Speaker 3: we have neutralized the threat and the war is over.
- 12:47Speaker 3: And at that point, perhaps they could tell us what
- 12:49Speaker 3: the threat was. So our telephone number nine oh one
- 12:53Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh
- 12:56Speaker 3: one two six zero five two six. When to finished
- 13:03Speaker 3: reading from this Caroline Lovett essay, she said, the Commander
- 13:09Speaker 3: in chief determines what does and does not constitute a
- 13:12Speaker 3: threat because he is the one constitutionally empowered to do so,
- 13:16Speaker 3: and because the American people went to the ballot box
- 13:19Speaker 3: and entrusted him and him alone to make such final judgments.
- 13:24Speaker 3: And finally, the absurd allegation that President Trump made this
- 13:27Speaker 3: decision based on the influence of others, even foreign countries,
- 13:30Speaker 3: is both insulting and laughable. President Trump has been remarkably
- 13:35Speaker 3: consistent and has said for decades that Iran can never
- 13:38Speaker 3: possess a nuclear weapon, and that is true. However, she
- 13:43Speaker 3: did not answer the question the allegation is there that
- 13:47Speaker 3: Israel influenced our decision? She said it was insulting and laughable,
- 13:52Speaker 3: but she did not say it was not true. And
- 13:56Speaker 3: I think that's a fair point. If Israel was about
- 13:59Speaker 3: to go in with or without us, I think that's
- 14:03Speaker 3: that is something that needs to go into the calculations here.
- 14:06Speaker 3: The American people need to know that. But again, I
- 14:09Speaker 3: think again, we were all in danger Iran, going back
- 14:13Speaker 3: to nineteen seventy nine. Every other president since that time
- 14:17Speaker 3: kicked the can down the road. Trump said there's no
- 14:20Speaker 3: more road, and he bombed the cramp out of Iran.
- 14:24Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's what happened, all right. Our number
- 14:26Speaker 3: nine O one two six zero five nine two six.
- 14:29Speaker 3: This is the Todd Sterns. Show everybody, Todd Stearns here,
- 14:32Speaker 3: and I've got to tell you about my friends at

- 15:40Speaker 3: So senior administration officials are are now winging in and
- 15:45Speaker 3: a lot of folks are gonna be out with the record.
- 15:47Speaker 3: By the way, the President wing in on this, and
- 15:48Speaker 3: we're gonna play that in just a moment. But this
- 15:52Speaker 3: is this is coming from a Fox News a senior
- 15:56Speaker 3: administration official telling Fox that Joe Kent was a known
- 15:59Speaker 3: leaker and he was cut out of the President's intelligence
- 16:02Speaker 3: briefings months ago. The White House told Tulci Gabbard he
- 16:05Speaker 3: should be fired for suspected leaks, but she never did.
- 16:09Speaker 3: He has not been part of any Iran planning discussions
- 16:12Speaker 3: or briefings at all. So look, if any of that
- 16:15Speaker 3: is true, then why wasn't he fired. If the White
- 16:18Speaker 3: House knew that he was a known leaker, why not
- 16:21Speaker 3: just fired the guy right out of the gate? And
- 16:23Speaker 3: if they told Tulci Gambert, who is the Director of
- 16:26Speaker 3: National Intelligence, that he ought to be fired and she
- 16:29Speaker 3: failed to do so, then she ought to be fired today.
- 16:32Speaker 3: She should be gone by the end of the day.
- 16:35Speaker 3: If in fact, all of this is accurate, All right,
- 16:38Speaker 3: let's go to the phone lines here nine oh one
- 16:40Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six. Johnny is listening
- 16:43Speaker 3: to us in Eastern Texas on Patriot Talk nine to twenty. Hi, Johnny,
- 16:48Speaker 3: what's on your mind today.
- 16:51Speaker 4: I don't look for.
- 16:52Speaker 5: This war to be going on for at the most
- 16:55Speaker 5: another month. I just don't see President Trump he's not
- 17:01Speaker 5: going to tell us the plan, the or when what
- 17:04Speaker 5: this plan is, because he said that the first time
- 17:06Speaker 5: he ran that he just doesn't tell the plans. The
- 17:11Speaker 5: media tells the plan, and the whole world knows it,
- 17:13Speaker 5: and the enemy knows it. How can he said he
- 17:15Speaker 5: wouldn't let nobody know his plan. And another point is
- 17:19Speaker 5: the fourth of July is coming up, and it's going
- 17:21Speaker 5: to be our two hundred and fifty birth birthday, and
- 17:23Speaker 5: I just cannot see President Trump being in the middle
- 17:27Speaker 5: of a war still. I mean, he's planning on having
- 17:31Speaker 5: a big celebration I'm sure, for the two hundred and
- 17:34Speaker 5: fifty birthday, and I know he's going to have this
- 17:36Speaker 5: thing all wrapped up. He's got to have a plan,
- 17:39Speaker 5: and I just put all my trust in him. I mean,
- 17:41Speaker 5: the guy is smart, and that ain't the only reason
- 17:44Speaker 5: why I voted for him, but I mean, the guy
- 17:48Speaker 5: is not a politician and he just tells it like
- 17:52Speaker 5: it is.
- 17:53Speaker 3: Well, yes he does. And I look, I'm supporting the
- 17:57Speaker 3: president here. Do I have learns about Iran absolutely, But
- 18:02Speaker 3: again I'm willing to give the president some some leeway
- 18:05Speaker 3: here to do what needs to be done. I mean,
- 18:07Speaker 3: we all know that that Iran has been a major
- 18:10Speaker 3: player in international terrorism for decades. I mean that's and
- 18:14Speaker 3: nobody's wanted to deal with the problem.
- 18:17Speaker 6: Uh.
- 18:17Speaker 3: The question is exactly how much longer? How much longer
- 18:22Speaker 3: is is this going to go on? That's that's that's
- 18:26Speaker 3: the question.
- 18:28Speaker 5: Like I said, I'll give him another month on it.
- 18:31Speaker 5: It's he's got to have a solution because I mean
- 18:35Speaker 5: the Memorial weekend's coming up, and I mean it's just
- 18:41Speaker 5: going to be bad if it goes on. If it lasts,
- 18:46Speaker 5: I'll get him through the n April, but it should
- 18:48Speaker 5: even take him that long. The thing is, the straight
- 18:51Speaker 5: home hormos from US has always been a problem. I
- 18:56Speaker 5: mean oil's going up now because of a war. I mean,
- 19:01Speaker 5: or could go up anytime I decided to block that
- 19:04Speaker 5: thing up. That that's always been a problem. They're using
- 19:09Speaker 5: the war as a business to excuse to drive the
- 19:13Speaker 5: old process up. I know it goes up a little
- 19:16Speaker 5: bit when military is doing all these exercises. I mean
- 19:19Speaker 5: they burns more old than.
- 19:21Speaker 3: All right, yeah, Johnny, I hear you, but we got
- 19:24Speaker 3: a break here, but thank you for the call. Nine
- 19:27Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six. Johnny says,
- 19:30Speaker 3: War is going to be over soon.
- 19:31Speaker 7: What say you?
- 20:03Speaker 3: All right? Welcome back to everybody. This is the Tod
- 20:06Speaker 3: Stearns Radio Show. Sorry for the delay here. I want
- 20:08Speaker 3: to give you an update, and this is for all
- 20:10Speaker 3: of our radio affiliates, many of whom have stretched have
- 20:15Speaker 3: switched to our radio stream. We have got We just
- 20:18Speaker 3: got word from Westwood one, which is the satellite that
- 20:22Speaker 3: they have, the satellites that we use to distribute this
- 20:25Speaker 3: program to radio stations all across America. Westwood one has
- 20:30Speaker 3: had some sort of a massive outage that is affecting
- 20:33Speaker 3: a number of shows, including hours. So I know we're
- 20:37Speaker 3: getting a lot of messages from very anxious radio program
- 20:41Speaker 3: directors right now. This is completely out of our control
- 20:46Speaker 3: and a team. Let's just again as a recommendation, I
- 20:49Speaker 3: know we're getting a lot of calls from stations, so
- 20:54Speaker 3: tell them they can feel free to carry the stream
- 20:57Speaker 3: which is up and running. So certainly our apologies and
- 21:02Speaker 3: we're hoping that west Wood One will get that get
- 21:04Speaker 3: that worked out very quickly again our telephone nuber nine
- 21:08Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five to nine two six.
- 21:10Speaker 3: Let's go to Ted in Salem, Oregon on k y
- 21:15Speaker 3: K and Hi, Ted, what's on your mind?
- 21:18Speaker 8: Hi?
- 21:18Speaker 9: There the extra second my call? Yeah, Joe can't. I
- 21:22Speaker 9: remember him from the local TV news as a radical
- 21:27Speaker 9: leftist demonstrator, long hair, demonstration, straighter leading. I think he
- 21:32Speaker 9: might have been Antifa, always on on the news because
- 21:35Speaker 9: he was always up front and uh. And then all
- 21:39Speaker 9: of a sudden from Vancouver. He was up in Portland,
- 21:41Speaker 9: Vancouver area. I think he lives in Vancouver, across the
- 21:45Speaker 9: river from Portland, and he cleaned himself, cutted hare, real
- 21:51Speaker 9: short and like he was a veteran and a loyalist
- 21:55Speaker 9: and all this stuff all of a sudden, and I
- 21:57Speaker 9: was shocked to see that happen. But then he get
- 22:01Speaker 9: elected as a Republican up here. So yeah, I think
- 22:04Speaker 9: he's an infiltrator and that was his purpose.
- 22:10Speaker 3: You know, it's Ted again when when you look at
- 22:13Speaker 3: all of this and again President Trump, and we're going
- 22:15Speaker 3: to play his audio in just a moment, it just
- 22:18Speaker 3: seems to me that if in fact, the White House
- 22:20Speaker 3: and the White House is telling multiple reporters now that
- 22:24Speaker 3: they knew this guy was a leaker all along, they
- 22:27Speaker 3: told Toulcy gabber to fire the guy. I'm just wondering,
- 22:30Speaker 3: why wasn't he fired the day they found out he
- 22:32Speaker 3: was leaking.
- 22:34Speaker 9: Gould a ben that's for sure.
- 22:37Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Ted, it's a great thought you have.
- 22:39Speaker 3: Thank you for calling in, sir. Nine oh one two
- 22:42Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six.
- 22:44Speaker 8: All right.
- 22:45Speaker 3: Here is President Trump just moments ago in the Oval Office,
- 22:48Speaker 3: and he's weighing in all of this. Take a listen.
- 22:51Speaker 6: Well, I read it say, but I always thought he
- 22:53Speaker 6: was a nice guy. But I always thought he was
- 22:55Speaker 6: weak on security, very weak on security. I didn't know, well,
- 23:00Speaker 6: but I thought it seemed like a pretty nice guy.
- 23:04Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 23:04Speaker 3: So there you have it, that coming from President President Trump.
- 23:10Speaker 3: All right, we'll keep you updated on any further developments here.
- 23:13Speaker 3: But it just seems to me Tulcy Gabbrig's got to
- 23:15Speaker 3: go to if she failed to fire the guy. That's
- 23:17Speaker 3: on her. Bye bye. Nine oh one two six zero five,
- 23:20Speaker 3: nine to six. So Senator Tommy Tubberville is making a
- 23:26Speaker 3: lot of headlines. He pointed out that the enemy talking
- 23:31Speaker 3: about Islam is not at the gates, the enemy is
- 23:35Speaker 3: inside the gates, and Senator Tubberville very alarmed at the
- 23:40Speaker 3: rise of Islam in America. And we had a now
- 23:45Speaker 3: viral conversation last night on my Newsmax TV show. I
- 23:50Speaker 3: want you to take a listen joining me now, Senator
- 23:52Speaker 3: Tommy Tubberville, that Republican from Alabama. Senator, good to have
- 23:56Speaker 3: you with us. So, look, I'm just wondering, do you
- 24:00Speaker 3: have any regrets by what you posted?
- 24:03Speaker 10: No, I don't have any regrets whatsoever. Todd, thanks for
- 24:05Speaker 10: having me on. I meant every word I said. I mean,
- 24:10Speaker 10: there's a reason where over and I ran right now
- 24:12Speaker 10: trying to free a country that has been taken hostage
- 24:18Speaker 10: for the what last forty seven years. President Trump's doing
- 24:21Speaker 10: the world of favor, not just doing our country a favor,
- 24:24Speaker 10: but also you know, as you've had on your screen there,
- 24:27Speaker 10: the enemy is inside our gates.
- 24:29Speaker 8: We got them here.
- 24:30Speaker 10: Joe Biden and Barack Obama brought them here by the thousands.
- 24:33Speaker 8: It's a disgrace.
- 24:35Speaker 10: You know, if you preach or teach Sharia law, you
- 24:39Speaker 10: need to go home. You don't fit in the United
- 24:41Speaker 10: States of America. We're a Christian country. If you pray
- 24:45Speaker 10: to the Qoran. The Koran speaks out that kill all infidels,
- 24:50Speaker 10: and infidels are people that are not Muslims, and that
- 24:53Speaker 10: means all Americans and all Christians that are not Muslims.
- 24:56Speaker 8: So I have no regrets.
- 24:58Speaker 10: I was a flavor of the week last week by
- 25:00Speaker 10: all the so called leaders of the Democrat Socialist Party
- 25:04Speaker 10: of go after Coach, he said something bad about our
- 25:07Speaker 10: voters of the future, and the Muslims are the voters
- 25:10Speaker 10: of the future for the Democratic Party, and so hey,
- 25:15Speaker 10: I wont tell it like it is, Todd. I've done
- 25:17Speaker 10: that since I've been here, and I'm not going back
- 25:19Speaker 10: off now.
- 25:20Speaker 2: No, no, no, Look, we got your back on this one, Coach.
- 25:22Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, Kristin Jillibrand from New York,
- 25:26Speaker 3: I'm not sure if you're aware, but you triggered her.
- 25:29Speaker 3: Here's what she had to write about your remarks. This
- 25:32Speaker 3: type of Islamophobia is disgraceful and unbecoming of a senator.
- 25:36Speaker 3: Delete it immediately and apologize. You know what I find
- 25:40Speaker 3: unbecoming is a government that allowed millions a very dangerous
- 25:44Speaker 3: Jihatist to flood into our country so they could target
- 25:49Speaker 3: American citizen Senator.
- 25:51Speaker 8: Yeah, open gates.
- 25:52Speaker 10: Globalists let everybody in for four years, not knowing who
- 25:56Speaker 10: they are. Very few were vetted, if any at all.
- 26:00Speaker 10: They're building sales all over the country. We got to
- 26:04Speaker 10: fight on our hands, coming Todd and you know, if
- 26:06Speaker 10: you just look what's happened to Europe. I mean to
- 26:09Speaker 10: ever get their country back the way it used to
- 26:11Speaker 10: be ten, fifteen to twenty years ago. They're going to
- 26:13Speaker 10: fight in the streets. It's going to have to happen.
- 26:15Speaker 10: The people are going to take it back. We need
- 26:17Speaker 10: to the point and that we're to the point right
- 26:19Speaker 10: now where we need to make a decision. Do we
- 26:22Speaker 10: want to wait until we have to fight in the
- 26:23Speaker 10: streets or do we want to kick them out now
- 26:26Speaker 10: and say enough enough of this. President Trump is on target. Well,
- 26:31Speaker 10: what he's doing in Iran, it's going to make matters
- 26:33Speaker 10: worse here. And again you've got these people that hate
- 26:37Speaker 10: this country, and I'm talking about the Democratic Party.
- 26:39Speaker 8: They hate the way it is.
- 26:41Speaker 10: They want to regain power any way they can. Their
- 26:45Speaker 10: new girlfriend is not African American, it's not union workers.
- 26:50Speaker 10: It's the illegals and the Muslims of this country that
- 26:53Speaker 10: are begging to vote for a Democrat, and enough's enough.
- 26:56Speaker 8: They got to go.
- 26:58Speaker 2: Isn't an interesting Senator?
- 27:00Speaker 3: The New York Times publishing a story today eulogizing the
- 27:03Speaker 3: quote Islamic Academy of Alabama K through twelfth school in Birmingham.
- 27:10Speaker 2: Did you know that school existed?
- 27:13Speaker 10: Oh yeah, they tried to expand and I want to
- 27:16Speaker 10: take my hat off all of the people in that community.
- 27:18Speaker 10: They went to a school board member. It says, no
- 27:20Speaker 10: more expansion of this school. They're teaching sarial law. They're
- 27:24Speaker 10: going by the Quran, and you know they said they weren't.
- 27:28Speaker 10: But all you have to do is look at their website.
- 27:29Speaker 10: I mean, you know, we're not stupid. I mean we
- 27:33Speaker 10: actually can read. And the things they were teaching is
- 27:37Speaker 10: not what is about the United States of America that
- 27:40Speaker 10: you and I grew up in. And they hate the
- 27:42Speaker 10: Constitution and they want to brainwash these kids. And again,
- 27:46Speaker 10: let me say this, it's not just Muslims. It's kids
- 27:49Speaker 10: that they want to bring into their fold that are
- 27:52Speaker 10: not of.
- 27:52Speaker 8: The Muslim faith.
- 27:53Speaker 10: But they want to integrate all their thoughts into the
- 27:56Speaker 10: minds of these kids. And we've got to stop it now.
- 27:59Speaker 10: And so yeah, they stopped the expansion there. Hopefully I'll
- 28:03Speaker 10: be the future governor of the state of Alabama, and
- 28:05Speaker 10: I'm gonna give them every opportunity to leave go somewhere else.
- 28:08Speaker 8: I'm telling you we're not going to do that in
- 28:09Speaker 8: the state of Alabama.
- 28:11Speaker 3: You know, the folks I think about here, Senator, are
- 28:13Speaker 3: the folks being ignored by the mainstream meeting of the
- 28:16Speaker 3: New York Times CNN. They're not talking about those brave
- 28:19Speaker 3: ROTC cadets who had to use their bare hands, we believe,
- 28:23Speaker 3: to take out that jihattist in the classroom at oldimate
- 28:28Speaker 3: U University, who, by the way, should not have even
- 28:30Speaker 3: been here in the country. We're importing these people to
- 28:33Speaker 3: kill us. What about those brave young people that save
- 28:37Speaker 3: lives in that classroom exactly?
- 28:39Speaker 10: You know ROTC kids, and they didn't have a weapon
- 28:42Speaker 10: other than one had a knife. They saved people's lives.
- 28:46Speaker 10: And it's just it's sad to see the people across
- 28:49Speaker 10: this country have to go through this because you know,
- 28:53Speaker 10: we've been taken by surprise and taking advantage of it
- 28:56Speaker 10: by the Democrat Party in this country. They're taking our
- 28:59Speaker 10: concert and the freedom of speech and all these rights
- 29:03Speaker 10: that we all should have in this country, but they're
- 29:05Speaker 10: using them against us, and they're using it by allowing
- 29:08Speaker 10: these people to do whatever the heck they want. We've
- 29:11Speaker 10: got a corrupt justice system. Judges are letting them out
- 29:14Speaker 10: right and left. It's hard to imagine the situation that
- 29:18Speaker 10: we've got ourselves into. We're not as far along as
- 29:21Speaker 10: Europe as UK and France and Italy and Germany, but
- 29:25Speaker 10: we will be that far if we don't wake up.
- 29:28Speaker 8: We have to wake up down. We have to talk
- 29:30Speaker 8: about it.
- 29:30Speaker 10: A lot of my Republican colleagues won't talk about it
- 29:33Speaker 10: because they're afraid they'll lose a vote. Folks, it's time
- 29:36Speaker 10: to quit worrying about getting re elected and talk about
- 29:38Speaker 10: the things that we need to save this country.
- 29:40Speaker 8: And this is at the top of the list.
- 29:42Speaker 10: It stopped this radical Islamist nonsense because they want a
- 29:47Speaker 10: coliphate in this country and they want to kill every American.
- 29:51Speaker 10: They do not want to assimilate, and we've got to
- 29:54Speaker 10: talk about it, and we've got to make sure people
- 29:56Speaker 10: understand that.
- 29:57Speaker 3: So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Senator Top
- 30:00Speaker 3: he's not backing down. This is the line in the
- 30:03Speaker 3: sand for him and for a lot of Republicans who say,
- 30:08Speaker 3: we this has to be we we have to address this.
- 30:11Speaker 3: We must. So my question is do you do you
- 30:14Speaker 3: agree or disagree with what Senator Tumberville just had to
- 30:17Speaker 3: say there nine oh one two six zero five nine
- 30:20Speaker 3: two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five
- 30:24Speaker 3: nine two six. You know, you folks have a lot
- 30:27Speaker 3: of choices when it comes to cell phone service, no
- 30:31Speaker 3: doubt about it. You've got new companies pomping up every
- 30:33Speaker 3: single day, all sorts of deals whatever. But here's here's
- 30:36Speaker 3: the truth. There's only one cell phone company that actually
- 30:40Speaker 3: stands in the gap for every American that believes freedom
- 30:43Speaker 3: is worth fighting for, and that is Patriot Mobile. The
- 30:46Speaker 3: good news here is that you can actually switch to
- 30:49Speaker 3: Patriot Mobile today without sacrificing quality or service. Are you
- 30:54Speaker 3: worried about coverage, Well, don't be, because Patriot Mobile uses
- 30:57Speaker 3: all three major US networks. So if you have service
- 31:00Speaker 3: in the country today, you're gonna have it as good
- 31:03Speaker 3: as or better with Patriot Mobile, and switching it is
- 31:07Speaker 3: not a hassle. You can keep your number, you keep
- 31:09Speaker 3: your phone, you can even upgrade if you want to upgrade.
- 31:11Speaker 3: Patriot Mobile one hundred percent US based customer service team.

- 32:01Speaker 11: have identified the leaker and they're not aware, but they
- 32:06Speaker 11: can be very useful in tasking misinformation in love, don't
- 32:12Speaker 11: go be knocking. There continued possible abuse.
- 32:17Speaker 8: Of him knowing that he was a leaker.
- 32:20Speaker 12: Oh well, I have a great day game, take care.
- 32:22Speaker 12: Thank you all right, well.
- 32:24Speaker 3: Thank you Ed from Texas. By the way, Ed was

- 32:55Speaker 3: phones here nine oh one two six zero five nine
- 32:58Speaker 3: two six Richard and a Cali, Florida, WOCA. Hi, Richard,
- 33:03Speaker 3: what's on your mind today?
- 33:05Speaker 13: Howdye Metro Todd Olmenttro Todd. I was just sitting there
- 33:08Speaker 13: listening that interview you had with that Tubberville man. I
- 33:11Speaker 13: appreciated that. That was so truthful and spot on. Man.
- 33:16Speaker 13: I like that guy. He reminds me of Trump. American
- 33:19Speaker 13: people loved Trump because he told the truth and he
- 33:21Speaker 13: wasn't afraid to tell it. And this guy sounds like
- 33:24Speaker 13: he's falling right in his footsteps. What he's saying is true.
- 33:28Speaker 13: And it is the Democrat Party in the news media
- 33:30Speaker 13: that's played a major part in bringing these people in
- 33:33Speaker 13: and destroying their country. And I think we should do
- 33:38Speaker 13: something about it. I'm not sure what the answer is
- 33:40Speaker 13: but I think getting them out of here as quick
- 33:42Speaker 13: as possible, and we got to do that. And Trump,
- 33:45Speaker 13: I think he needs to fire those people you mentioned
- 33:47Speaker 13: firing that lady. I think he should too. Trump's got
- 33:50Speaker 13: him administration and put people in there that'll.
- 33:56Speaker 14: Do what's right.
- 33:57Speaker 13: That guy that's telling that he should be charge of
- 34:00Speaker 13: pressed against me. But anyway, that's just my opinion on that.
- 34:04Speaker 13: Just one other saying, Sister Todd. He said we was
- 34:07Speaker 13: a Christian nation. We was bounded as a Christian nation.
- 34:11Speaker 13: A's one hundred percent spought on. But we was founded
- 34:14Speaker 13: as a Protestant Christian nation. And that's just wanting to
- 34:19Speaker 13: correct a little bit on that. But yes, I appreciated
- 34:22Speaker 13: you giving not Gut an interview, and I agree with
- 34:24Speaker 13: everything he said.
- 34:25Speaker 3: Well, well, thank you for that, Richard. Look, I love
- 34:28Speaker 3: Senator Tuberville. He's leaving the Senate and he's running for governor.
- 34:33Speaker 3: He wants to be the next governor of Alabama, and
- 34:35Speaker 3: I think he's going to make a terrific governor. But
- 34:38Speaker 3: what I love about Tuberville is that he doesn't apologize, right,
- 34:42Speaker 3: and you can't apologize to these leftists. That's because they
- 34:45Speaker 3: don't want an apology. They want your head on a planter.
- 34:49Speaker 3: So all I can say is, you know, God blessed
- 34:51Speaker 3: Tommy Tubberville. I slipped up a couple of times and
- 34:54Speaker 3: called him coach, of course, one of the great, one
- 34:57Speaker 3: of the great football coaches out there, but certainly a
- 35:01Speaker 3: great American patriot. And he's doing a terrific job right now,
- 35:06Speaker 3: a terrific job on Capitol Hill. All right, I want
- 35:09Speaker 3: to play some audio here from Speaker Mike Johnson just
- 35:13Speaker 3: moments ago, the Speaker lecturing the Senate and saying they
- 35:18Speaker 3: must must force a vote on the Save America Act.
- 35:22Speaker 3: Take a listen to Cut four.
- 35:23Speaker 15: They do everything in American society. Why not to vote.
- 35:26Speaker 15: It's ridiculous for them to oppose it. We are cheering
- 35:29Speaker 15: along the Senate Republicans and trying to force this through. Hopefully,
- 35:33Speaker 15: hopefully we can get this to the President's desk for signature.
- 35:36Speaker 15: It's a top priority, not just for Republicans in Congress. Again,
- 35:39Speaker 15: common sense versus crazy. It's crazy to say that you
- 35:42Speaker 15: should not be a citizen or not have an ID
- 35:45Speaker 15: to vote, and it is common sense and it comports
- 35:47Speaker 15: to the American people.
- 35:49Speaker 3: Yeah, it's absolutely common sense. So we're going to and
- 35:53Speaker 3: we're going to jump into more of this a little
- 35:55Speaker 3: bit later on in the show here, but John Thune
- 35:59Speaker 3: is his hand is going to be forced here and
- 36:02Speaker 3: the Senate is going to have to take action. By
- 36:06Speaker 3: the way, when you look at the base of the party,
- 36:09Speaker 3: ninety percent, nearly ninety percent of the MAGA base actually
- 36:14Speaker 3: support President Trump's war against Iran. That is, as a
- 36:19Speaker 3: matter of fact, here is CNN take a listen to
- 36:21Speaker 3: cut five.
- 36:22Speaker 16: Okay, MAGA GOP on the US military action Irun. Look
- 36:26Speaker 16: at this, nearly nine to ten, eighty nine percent approve
- 36:30Speaker 16: of the US military action around that is the MAGA
- 36:32Speaker 16: GOP base. Just nine percent disapprove of it. This is
- 36:37Speaker 16: tremendously popular among the Republican base, and of course Marco Rubio,
- 36:41Speaker 16: Secretary of State overseeing the effort. It seems to me
- 36:44Speaker 16: that a lot of people are taking not into account,
- 36:46Speaker 16: including President Donald Trump, who has been smiling an awful
- 36:50Speaker 16: lot at Marco Rubio lately.
- 36:52Speaker 3: Yeah, they've been making googly eyes. I don't know if
- 36:54Speaker 3: you've seen that. It's very odd. But no, no, no,
- 36:57Speaker 3: I think the President is very happy with the word
- 37:00Speaker 3: that Rubio is doing. Oh by the way. Yesterday, Trump
- 37:04Speaker 3: was giving a press briefing and we carried this live
- 37:06Speaker 3: on Newsmax. And I don't know if you heard the
- 37:09Speaker 3: President say that he was going to be very honored
- 37:12Speaker 3: to take Cuba. And there was some pushback there the
- 37:16Speaker 3: reporters like, what do you mean by that? And the
- 37:19Speaker 3: President did not He did not expand on that idea,
- 37:23Speaker 3: but it certainly sounds as if the President is I
- 37:28Speaker 3: don't know if we're about to get a new territory.
- 37:30Speaker 3: Are we going to make Cuba the fifty first state?
- 37:32Speaker 3: Nobody knows, but the President said he's going to be
- 37:36Speaker 3: very honored when they take Cuba. Someone asked, does that
- 37:39Speaker 3: mean you're going to take Cuba militarily? And the President
- 37:44Speaker 3: did not respond to that, so keeping his options open there.
- 37:49Speaker 3: You know, I think a lot of folks would love
- 37:51Speaker 3: to go vacation down in Cuba. Once they get into
- 37:54Speaker 3: the twenty first century. They're still stuck back in the
- 37:56Speaker 3: nineteen fifties. All Right, Hay and Tied Everybody, Hour two
- 38:00Speaker 3: of the Big Show coming up, Happy Saint Patrick's Day, Everybody.
- 38:20Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 38:25Speaker 1: common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starts Satists.
- 38:33Speaker 3: American and Hello everybody, Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio program.
- 38:41Speaker 3: Great to have you with us today. Look here's it.
- 38:45Speaker 3: We've been dealing with some satellite issues Westwood One, which
- 38:50Speaker 3: is our satellite provider, and they their signal reaches so
- 38:55Speaker 3: many of our radio stations around the nation, so they're
- 38:58Speaker 3: having some issues. So anyway, folks, they're working through it.
- 39:03Speaker 3: So if you're if you're having any sort of a
- 39:05Speaker 3: problem hearing the program. That is the reason why I
- 39:09Speaker 3: want to give out our telephone number for on the
- 39:11Speaker 3: Saint Patrick's Day edition of the program. Nine oh one
- 39:14Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six. Again, that's nine
- 39:18Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine to six. Interesting
- 39:23Speaker 3: story out of Social Circle, Georgia, and you view folks
- 39:29Speaker 3: know where Social Circle Georgia is. Well, they have officially
- 39:37Speaker 3: stopped water service and cut off water service to an
- 39:41Speaker 3: ice detention center. This is coming from CBS News the
- 39:46Speaker 3: headline Social Circle officials cut off water to side of
- 39:50Speaker 3: planned Georgia ice detention mega center. The city sent a
- 39:56Speaker 3: message to US Customs Enforcement saying no water or sewer
- 40:01Speaker 3: service for its planned detention center until the city gets information,
- 40:08Speaker 3: the city said, and they shared a statement saying it
- 40:10Speaker 3: placed a lock on the water meter connected to the
- 40:14Speaker 3: warehouse ICE plans to convert into a facility that could
- 40:18Speaker 3: hold thousands of immigration detainees. They say the lock is
- 40:23Speaker 3: there until ICE indicates how water and sewer will be
- 40:28Speaker 3: served without exceeding our limited infrastructure capacity. So they want
- 40:33Speaker 3: to know how many illegals are going to be housed
- 40:35Speaker 3: in this massive facility. According to Homeland Security, the center
- 40:44Speaker 3: is expected to hold as many as ten thousand illegal aliens.
- 40:51Speaker 3: They believe that the facility should be available to house
- 40:55Speaker 3: detainees sometime in mid May to early June. They're going
- 40:59Speaker 3: to employee up to twenty five hundred people, but that
- 41:05Speaker 3: all is contingental whether or not they have water and
- 41:08Speaker 3: sewer access, which Social Circle Georgia says is not going
- 41:14Speaker 3: to happen. And I'm very curious to hear your thoughts
- 41:18Speaker 3: on this, and especially you folks who live in Georgia,
- 41:21Speaker 3: where you've got city leaders there in social circle that
- 41:26Speaker 3: are going to war against the Trump administration. And I'm
- 41:33Speaker 3: looking through right now and it's they don't have. It's
- 41:37Speaker 3: not a very large community, but I am very curious
- 41:41Speaker 3: to know if this if there are Democrats Republicans, or
- 41:46Speaker 3: if this is a nonpartisan council. But anyway, this small
- 41:51Speaker 3: town in Georgia now pushing back and said, you know what,
- 41:54Speaker 3: no water, no sewer for ice. Nine oh one two
- 42:00Speaker 3: six zero five, nine two six. Our telephone number. That's
- 42:03Speaker 3: nine toh one two six zero five, nine to six.
- 42:08Speaker 3: You votes in Georgia. Meanwhile, you gotta love this story.
- 42:11Speaker 3: Elections have consequences, ladies and gentlemen, as they have discovered
- 42:15Speaker 3: in Virginia, where the Republicans decided to stay home and
- 42:21Speaker 3: not vote, and as a result, the Republicans were trounced
- 42:26Speaker 3: at the ballot box. Now you have majorities of Democrats
- 42:29Speaker 3: in the in the the state House, they're the House
- 42:34Speaker 3: of Delegates, in the Senate, and of course the governor's mansion.
- 42:39Speaker 3: And the latest news is that the Democrats have all
- 42:43Speaker 3: passed legislation that would basically restrict guns. It would be
- 42:48Speaker 3: a gun ban in Virginia. However, the Democrats exempted themselves
- 42:54Speaker 3: in the legislation, so the only people that would be
- 42:57Speaker 3: allowed to have guns in Virginia would be the criminals
- 43:00Speaker 3: and the Democrats, which is sort of the same. But
- 43:05Speaker 3: now there's new legislation, and I want all of you
- 43:08Speaker 3: white folks to pay attention here just for a moment.
- 43:12Speaker 3: The Governor of Virginia, Abigail Spanburger, is set to sign
- 43:18Speaker 3: a new piece of legislation that would provide minorities forty
- 43:23Speaker 3: two percent of all state contracts. So if you are
- 43:27Speaker 3: a white person, you would not be allowed to put
- 43:32Speaker 3: in a bid on a state contract. Take a listen.
- 43:36Speaker 17: Virginia just passed a bill that prioritizes government contracts based
- 43:39Speaker 17: on race and gender. The bill HB six to one
- 43:42Speaker 17: is now sitting on the Governor's desk waiting to be signed.
- 43:44Speaker 3: So here's what it does.
- 43:45Speaker 17: It forces state agencies to hit a forty two percent
- 43:48Speaker 17: quota for SWA in businesses meeting businesses owned by minorities, women,
- 43:52Speaker 17: or certain designated groups. It also sets aside government contracts
- 43:55Speaker 17: under one hundred thousand dollars specifically for those businesses. Translation,
- 44:00Speaker 17: you're a small business owner who doesn't fall into those categories.
- 44:02Speaker 17: You're pushed to the back of the line, not because
- 44:04Speaker 17: of price or quality or experience, but because of race
- 44:07Speaker 17: and gender quotas. That's not equality, that's state mandated discrimination.
- 44:11Speaker 17: In government contracting and it's happening right here in Virginia.
- 44:15Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 44:16Speaker 3: I mean this if this is actually signed, it in a law,
- 44:18Speaker 3: which I have no doubt that she's going to do that.
- 44:20Speaker 3: I mean, this woman's a radical leftist. She campaigned as
- 44:23Speaker 3: a moderate, by the way, but she's a radical leftist.
- 44:26Speaker 3: This is basically going to codify racism in the Commonwealth
- 44:31Speaker 3: of Virginia. It's really remarkable. So HB sixty one is
- 44:38Speaker 3: the small It's called the Small Business Procurement Enhancement Program,
- 44:45Speaker 3: and there's a statewide goal of awarding government contracts to
- 44:49Speaker 3: certified small SWAM businesses and SWAM actually stands for small
- 44:56Speaker 3: women owned and minority owned businesses. So if you're a
- 45:00Speaker 3: a white guy, you're host in Virginia, you're not gonna
- 45:03Speaker 3: have You're not gonna be able to get any government contracts.
- 45:08Speaker 3: Just unbelievable. So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen,
- 45:13Speaker 3: and what as old as new again because in a way,
- 45:16Speaker 3: they're almost introducing a new version of slavery in the
- 45:21Speaker 3: Commonwealth of Virginia, but it's directed at businesses run or
- 45:26Speaker 3: owned by white men. Unbelievable. All right, let's go to
- 45:31Speaker 3: the phone. Oh, let's go to the phones. We'll go
- 45:33Speaker 3: to a break first though. Nine oh one two six
- 45:36Speaker 3: zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one two
- 45:39Speaker 3: six zero five, nine two six. This is the Todd
- 45:41Speaker 3: Sterns Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the
- 45:54Speaker 3: Todd Sterns Radio Show. Let's go to the phone line. Gainesville, Georgia.
- 46:01Speaker 3: Steve is listening to us on WDUN. Hi, Steve, what's
- 46:05Speaker 3: on your mind today?
- 46:07Speaker 18: You've been talking about the detention centers. I'm a contractor
- 46:11Speaker 18: and I can tell you a lot about these type
- 46:15Speaker 18: things when they're originally set up. They're set up actually
- 46:21Speaker 18: zoned for warehouses, distribution centers. There hundreds of them in
- 46:27Speaker 18: this part of the country. Because of our geographic location,
- 46:31Speaker 18: you can shoot it to Savannah, Atlanta, Greenville, Spartanburg. We're
- 46:36Speaker 18: right in the middle. Great for those storage facilities. And
- 46:40Speaker 18: that's based on the number of people. I would imagine
- 46:45Speaker 18: this facility probably would have said maximum fifty people that
- 46:51Speaker 18: would be employees, secretaries, people loading truckers, coming in, use
- 46:55Speaker 18: the bathroom, maybe sicky people death, not thousands. So I
- 47:02Speaker 18: think it's gonna be a problem there because I don't
- 47:05Speaker 18: know that this Uh, they've got the infrastructure, so it's
- 47:08Speaker 18: capacity to handle those many people.
- 47:11Speaker 3: So you think this may be a legitimate issue that
- 47:14Speaker 3: the city of Social Circle is dealing with, not necessarily political.
- 47:18Speaker 8: Trump.
- 47:18Speaker 18: Trump's a contractor, He's had to cross this bridge before.
- 47:24Speaker 3: Right, but he's Trump. Yeah, but Donald Trump is not
- 47:27Speaker 3: hold on. But Donald Trump is not personally overseeing the
- 47:30Speaker 3: construction of the detention centers.
- 47:33Speaker 18: I mean, I'm saying that, but he's got people that
- 47:36Speaker 18: is making these decisions that should be smarter than to
- 47:40Speaker 18: go and get tied up into because minus standing, they're
- 47:43Speaker 18: buying these facilities not leasing them.
- 47:47Speaker 3: That is true. That is correct. Now we have heard
- 47:51Speaker 3: this that a lot of a lot of communities, and
- 47:53Speaker 3: I know this was happening in the Memphis area where
- 47:57Speaker 3: the local communities are not getting the heads up. You know,
- 48:00Speaker 3: they're just they're getting they're getting alerted after the fact
- 48:04Speaker 3: that you know they they're building these detention centers in
- 48:07Speaker 3: their backyards.
- 48:10Speaker 17: Yeah.
- 48:10Speaker 18: I just they're everywhere here. I mean you can drive
- 48:14Speaker 18: down eighty five, nine eighty five and they're just I
- 48:17Speaker 18: mean there are hundreds of them. And who's who's rent
- 48:20Speaker 18: them is people like, uh, these these factories that. Uh,
- 48:24Speaker 18: they'll they'll shift their stuff and then they'll send them
- 48:27Speaker 18: to the to the to the dealers and the retail
- 48:30Speaker 18: stores and then Amazons and that's who's renting them. But
- 48:33Speaker 18: they're they're they're set up for maybe fifty people, you know, employees.
- 48:38Speaker 18: They're not set up for thout. So I don't know
- 48:40Speaker 18: how you crent that much sewage capacity, because it's the
- 48:44Speaker 18: sewage more than it is the water.
- 48:48Speaker 3: I'm curious to know. Hold on, we're looking this up
- 48:51Speaker 3: in real time the population of Social Circle. So here's
- 48:56Speaker 3: the deal. They're saying the attention facility could could end
- 49:01Speaker 3: up populating what ten thousand illegals at a time, ten thousand.
- 49:07Speaker 3: The entire population of Social Circle, Georgia is about fifty
- 49:11Speaker 3: four hundred. That's the latest census numbers we've got. So
- 49:16Speaker 3: you're you're looking at at more than doubling the population
- 49:20Speaker 3: of the town. So you're saying that the sewer, the
- 49:23Speaker 3: water and sewer system would not be able to accommodate
- 49:25Speaker 3: that much growth without building more infrastructure.
- 49:30Speaker 19: Yeah, could see.
- 49:31Speaker 18: When you set these up, you got to go through
- 49:35Speaker 18: zoning and planting. That's first this they sign off on it,
- 49:40Speaker 18: and then you get a permit to build it, and
- 49:43Speaker 18: that permit, in my opinion, would be set up for
- 49:46Speaker 18: a warehouse with probably forty to fifty or sixty employees.
- 49:53Speaker 18: That's what they permitted for. And just to take that
- 49:57Speaker 18: put that, I don't know how you do it.
- 49:59Speaker 3: Well, well, no, if look, if your explanation makes a
- 50:03Speaker 3: lot of sense, and when you actually look at the numbers,
- 50:06Speaker 3: you really understand. Okay, maybe there is maybe there is
- 50:09Speaker 3: a legitimate issue here and they're not trying to make
- 50:12Speaker 3: a political statement. But I will tell you that the
- 50:14Speaker 3: national media is already looking at this as if this
- 50:17Speaker 3: small town is standing up to President Trump and standing
- 50:21Speaker 3: up to Ice and they're saying, you know, we're not
- 50:23Speaker 3: going to let these illegals in here. But and Steve,
- 50:26Speaker 3: I appreciate you calling in, because again, there may be
- 50:29Speaker 3: another sign to this, which is they do not have
- 50:32Speaker 3: the infrastructure to accommodate a facility this large, because as
- 50:36Speaker 3: Steve mentioned, normally the warehouses, the sewer lines, and water
- 50:40Speaker 3: would accommodate what upwards of fifty to sixty people, not
- 50:43Speaker 3: ten thousand. All right, that makes sense. I can you know,
- 50:47Speaker 3: I can I can believe that I can believe that
- 50:49Speaker 3: all right, let's go to John listening to us on
- 50:52Speaker 3: wd You in in Georgia. Behind John, what's going on?
- 50:57Speaker 20: Rest?
- 50:57Speaker 19: Then Todd did the top tea. First off, let me say,
- 51:01Speaker 19: I'm seventy year old, twenty year military veteran, and my
- 51:09Speaker 19: first statement is, I feel like that eighty percent of
- 51:12Speaker 19: politicians in this country, from Washington all the way down
- 51:17Speaker 19: to the local level are corrupt and on the take,
- 51:21Speaker 19: all elected group officials. That's my first statement. And I
- 51:27Speaker 19: enjoyed your interview with Tommy Tuppleville and I agree with
- 51:30Speaker 19: him completely. I feel like that within twenty years we're
- 51:34Speaker 19: going to be fighting Islamist in the streets of this country.
- 51:39Speaker 19: And my only worry is I probably won't be here
- 51:42Speaker 19: to see it. But my only worry is what is
- 51:46Speaker 19: the America United States military.
- 51:48Speaker 8: Going to do?
- 51:49Speaker 19: Are they going to side with American patriots? Are they
- 51:52Speaker 19: going to side with the government, the corrupt government. That's
- 51:57Speaker 19: what I worry about for my grandkids.
- 52:01Speaker 3: John. It's a legitimate concern you have here, and I've
- 52:04Speaker 3: wondered that myself because I do believe that this is
- 52:08Speaker 3: going to end in violence, and I'm not sure that
- 52:13Speaker 3: our elected leaders, and we've seen this play out in Texas,
- 52:16Speaker 3: and we have a lot of Texas listeners and you
- 52:18Speaker 3: guys can weigh on this as well. But the reality is,
- 52:22Speaker 3: I think not even Republicans have the stomach to stand
- 52:26Speaker 3: up and fight the rise of Islam. Senator Tommy Tumberville
- 52:30Speaker 3: is an anomaly in the Congress right now. I know
- 52:33Speaker 3: they're probably about fifty or sixty Republican lawmakers who understand
- 52:38Speaker 3: the threat that we are facing. John, but I just
- 52:41Speaker 3: want someone to explain to me. Tell me a nation
- 52:44Speaker 3: that Islam has taken over, where Christians and Jews are
- 52:48Speaker 3: allowed to live in peace? What are those countries?
- 52:52Speaker 19: Well, there's not any good and the bad thing about it.
- 52:57Speaker 19: Another thing is these I've heard you talk several times
- 53:01Speaker 19: about people paying for their crimes and stuff.
- 53:07Speaker 9: It's never going to.
- 53:08Speaker 19: Happen with these politicians. Nobody's ever going to go to jail,
- 53:12Speaker 19: nobody's ever going to be yelled at Cannibal because they're
- 53:15Speaker 19: all covering each other's back, Republicans and Democrats. I mean,
- 53:19Speaker 19: they're all corrupt. And the uh, the fraud and waste
- 53:25Speaker 19: that's going on in Minnesota, that's that's nationwide. It's at
- 53:29Speaker 19: and everywhere and if the American people could see all
- 53:32Speaker 19: the billions of dollars that's being wasted, they'd be a
- 53:37Speaker 19: revolution tomorrow.
- 53:39Speaker 3: John, I don't know if you heard Stephen Miller yesterday.
- 53:41Speaker 3: He was just speaking at some sort of oppress scrum,
- 53:45Speaker 3: a gathering there in DC. He said that if we
- 53:48Speaker 3: got rid of all the corruption and all the grift
- 53:51Speaker 3: that's happening in this country. You mean, you mentioned Somalia
- 53:53Speaker 3: in Minnesota and Minneapolis, if we were able to get
- 53:56Speaker 3: rid of all of that, we would be able to
- 53:57Speaker 3: balance our budget. That is how much how much of
- 54:01Speaker 3: our money is literally being stolen. And to your point,
- 54:05Speaker 3: and I do believe this that every that there are
- 54:09Speaker 3: a lot of Republicans, not all, but there are a
- 54:11Speaker 3: lot of Republicans who are just as guilty as the
- 54:14Speaker 3: Democrats are. I think people have dirt on them, and
- 54:18Speaker 3: I think that's one of the reasons why, for example,
- 54:20Speaker 3: we're watching the Senate him in Hall over the Save
- 54:23Speaker 3: America Act.
- 54:26Speaker 19: Yeah, they're not going to do anything. That's never going
- 54:29Speaker 19: to go through. And Todd, I hate to say it,
- 54:33Speaker 19: but I'm and I love your show, and I think
- 54:36Speaker 19: you're a great American, but I think our country's lost already.
- 54:40Speaker 19: I think it's I've gotten to I try not to
- 54:42Speaker 19: even worry about it anymore. I just try to live
- 54:44Speaker 19: my life day to day and get by as well
- 54:47Speaker 19: as I can, because I think it's over. I think
- 54:50Speaker 19: it's just a matter of time.
- 54:52Speaker 3: John, I hope that's not the case. But I'm a
- 54:54Speaker 3: hopeful person, and I hope that comes across on the show.
- 54:57Speaker 3: You know, we're one of the few shows that call
- 55:00Speaker 3: everybody out, you know, because again I'm you know, I'm
- 55:02Speaker 3: not beholding anybody, you know. I just you know, I
- 55:05Speaker 3: I love my country. I come from a working class family,
- 55:09Speaker 3: and a lot of times those are the people that
- 55:12Speaker 3: ultimately get screwed. They get they get shoved to the
- 55:15Speaker 3: back of the line, except when it comes time to
- 55:17Speaker 3: fight wars, and then they come knocking at the front
- 55:20Speaker 3: door asking for your kids. That's true, and and and again.
- 55:26Speaker 3: Our family, we have served honorably all the way back
- 55:29Speaker 3: to the War of Northern Aggression, and I think maybe
- 55:32Speaker 3: even before that. But our family, you know, we're honored
- 55:35Speaker 3: to be able to fight for this country. Our family.
- 55:37Speaker 3: We've shed blood for this country, and and it troubles
- 55:42Speaker 3: me when we're getting into wars and we're going into
- 55:44Speaker 3: places that we ought not to be in. But John,
- 55:47Speaker 3: I want to say we I've got to ramp it here.
- 55:49Speaker 3: But I want to say you're I think you're spot
- 55:51Speaker 3: on accurate. Let's have hope. We've still got to fight
- 55:54Speaker 3: the good fight. And I just want to say thank
- 55:56Speaker 3: you for serving our great nation, sir, Thank.
- 55:59Speaker 19: You, Thank you, Todd, and keep up the good work.
- 56:02Speaker 19: And I'll listen to you because I know I'll get
- 56:05Speaker 19: the truth from you.
- 56:06Speaker 3: Yes, sir, Well, we do our very best here. I
- 56:09Speaker 3: can tell you that, John, thank you.
- 56:11Speaker 8: All right.
- 56:11Speaker 3: Our number nine oh one two six zero five nine
- 56:14Speaker 3: two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five
- 56:17Speaker 3: nne two six. By the way, suspicious device found outside
- 56:21Speaker 3: of a New York City synagogue. It's a backpack and
- 56:25Speaker 3: there are a lot of wires protruding. We're going to
- 56:27Speaker 3: keep you updated on that. We'll be right back everybody.
- 56:52Speaker 3: All right, Welcome back, everybody. This is the Tod Stearns
- 56:55Speaker 3: Radio Show on St. Patrick's Day. Let's go to Iowa.
- 57:00Speaker 3: Jerry is on the line, Hi, Jerry, what's going on?
- 57:04Speaker 14: Happy Saint Patrick's today today? We're all Irish. That's about
- 57:09Speaker 14: as good as I can do that. I would to
- 57:11Speaker 14: talk about the nice Muslim and the nice illegal alien.
- 57:17Speaker 14: And because I'm hearing about this in the churches and
- 57:20Speaker 14: the nice Palestinian and they say, well, they're they're not
- 57:23Speaker 14: doing the killing or the stealing or the illegal activities,
- 57:29Speaker 14: but they are complicit with them. And that's what I
- 57:33Speaker 14: think everybody needs to realize that the nice Muslim and
- 57:36Speaker 14: the nice illegal alien. The nice Muslim won't chop your
- 57:39Speaker 14: head off, but if if somebody else gets their head
- 57:42Speaker 14: shot off, chopped off, or a National Guard person gets
- 57:45Speaker 14: shot or or something, or the towers come down, they
- 57:50Speaker 14: will internally do a little cheer, and you just ask
- 57:53Speaker 14: them because they believe the Infidel has it coming. And
- 57:56Speaker 14: so when people do this apologetic for the nice Muslim
- 58:01Speaker 14: and the nice illegal, they are complicit with the invasion.
- 58:05Speaker 14: Years ago I intended a civil war in Central America,
- 58:08Speaker 14: not as a combatant but in a different capacity, And
- 58:13Speaker 14: the goal was always to collapse the next country, to
- 58:16Speaker 14: overwhelm the hospitals, overwhelm the law enforcement, get the next
- 58:20Speaker 14: country over to be divided, so that eventually they'd kill
- 58:24Speaker 14: themselves to kill each other. Kill take the jobs, take
- 58:28Speaker 14: the housing, take the free money, aka the debt. So
- 58:32Speaker 14: if you are supporting the nice Muslim in Minnesota, Stan
- 58:37Speaker 14: or wherever, and what you're doing is you're supporting the
- 58:42Speaker 14: collapse from within. So so be careful when you support
- 58:46Speaker 14: the poor, sad Palestinian cause against them, the bad Israeli
- 58:51Speaker 14: and the bad capitalist you're really the lots and lots
- 58:56Speaker 14: of nice Muslims or nice illegals in your country are
- 58:59Speaker 14: really uh they have they're playing the long game. And
- 59:04Speaker 14: especially in the churches I'm seeing it happen, they're they're
- 59:07Speaker 14: they're apologizing for the rest of the country. Oh, we're
- 59:10Speaker 14: so sorry, we can't have even more Muslims in the
- 59:14Speaker 14: United States. The former caller was correct. The military guy
- 59:17Speaker 14: is it'll it'll break out later for your your kids
- 59:21Speaker 14: and your grandkids, and it will turn into conflict and
- 59:23Speaker 14: the sewer systems will be overwhelmed and people will wonder
- 59:26Speaker 14: why there's prisons everywhere. It sounds catastrophic, But if you
- 59:30Speaker 14: you've got to look at the long game, steady Rome.
- 59:33Speaker 14: For for goodness sake, this is not a time for ignorance.
- 59:37Speaker 14: You've got to be kind to people, share the gospel
- 59:40Speaker 14: with them, and we don't hate people, but try to
- 59:44Speaker 14: try to realize that the nice Muslim and the nice
- 59:46Speaker 14: illegal alien are are there's a bigger plan here. So
- 59:51Speaker 14: I just wanted to comment, so I appreciate you listening.
- 59:53Speaker 3: No, look, I'm glad you called in Jerry. You know,
- 59:56Speaker 3: one of the things that's always bothered me about the
- 1:00:00Speaker 3: I hear the argument, it's that, you know, not all
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: Muslims are are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims. I
- 1:00:05Speaker 3: get that, I've heard that. I've heard that before. He's
- 1:00:09Speaker 3: Here's my problem is that you've we've been hearing from
- 1:00:14Speaker 3: the moms in their mosques and they're all sorts of
- 1:00:17Speaker 3: videos on social media and they're calling, you know, for
- 1:00:20Speaker 3: death to America, you know, death to Israel. They want
- 1:00:24Speaker 3: to kill the infidels, that the gays, they want to
- 1:00:28Speaker 3: throw out the buildings. I've never heard an, honest to goodness,
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: and if you've heard somebody a Muslim leader condemning this,
- 1:00:38Speaker 3: I give me a call, because I have not heard
- 1:00:42Speaker 3: a single Muslim, whether they be a leader or just
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: you know, whether they be there on their prayer rug,
- 1:00:50Speaker 3: I've never heard any of them actually condemning that sort
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: of rhetoric because it's really not rhetoric. I mean, that's
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: coming right out of their scriptures, the Koran, that people
- 1:01:01Speaker 3: like me would be considered an infidel. And I think again,
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: it's it's just odd that nobody is condemning any of
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: that kind of language, Jerry, And and that bothers me.
- 1:01:16Speaker 14: Well, yeah, it's it's complicity. They are complicit with the
- 1:01:21Speaker 14: nice Muslims are complicit with the We just had some
- 1:01:25Speaker 14: National Guard troops killed here. They come back coming back
- 1:01:28Speaker 14: to Iowa, and I'm not hearing any outrage from Imom
- 1:01:32Speaker 14: Dummy or anybody for uh. I think he's been entertaining
- 1:01:35Speaker 14: people who have associated with terrorists. It's it's they. It
- 1:01:39Speaker 14: is interesting how silent they are, how much they complain
- 1:01:42Speaker 14: about the unjust Americans and the injust is really, but
- 1:01:46Speaker 14: when when something bad happens to us, they are silent.
- 1:01:50Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't get that. And I mean everybody, nobody's
- 1:01:55Speaker 3: nobody's condemning the rhetoric about, you know, killing all the
- 1:01:59Speaker 3: chris and the and the Jews, and that's that is
- 1:02:03Speaker 3: a little troubling to me. All right, Jerry, thank you
- 1:02:06Speaker 3: for that. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
- 1:02:09Speaker 3: two six Big Saint Patrick's Day celebration. You got the
- 1:02:12Speaker 3: big parade in New York City and Dylan. I for
- 1:02:15Speaker 3: some reason, I thought, well, all of our celebrations were
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: over the weekend.
- 1:02:19Speaker 12: Yeah, they actually kind of already happened. It's set. Today
- 1:02:23Speaker 12: is the day though.
- 1:02:24Speaker 3: Yeah, so again I don't understand why didn't we have
- 1:02:26Speaker 3: the parades today? Why don't we have them over the weekend.
- 1:02:29Speaker 12: It's a school night. We can't be out late.
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: So there's some interesting data about the largest cities with
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: a percentage of Irish ancestry in the population. And I'm
- 1:02:43Speaker 3: surprised by the cities. What would you think is the
- 1:02:46Speaker 3: number one city for the Irish.
- 1:02:48Speaker 12: I would have no clue.
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: Just take a wild guess.
- 1:02:52Speaker 12: Uh Chicago.
- 1:02:54Speaker 3: Uh No, No, that's wrong.
- 1:02:57Speaker 12: Because the River. That's the only guess I.
- 1:02:59Speaker 3: Have the these are the largest cities. Boston. It's Boston, Massachusetts.
- 1:03:03Speaker 3: Oh wow, they got the Irish. Would have I would
- 1:03:06Speaker 3: have guessed New York City right out of the gate.
- 1:03:08Speaker 3: I would have guessed New York City. But New York
- 1:03:11Speaker 3: City is, uh, not even on the list. This is crazy.
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: It's Boston, Philadelphia, Louisville, Kentucky, Portland, Oregon, Seattle, Buffalo, Pittsburgh
- 1:03:26Speaker 3: and Nashville. Nashville, Memphis, Tennessee is on the seven percent
- 1:03:32Speaker 3: of the city's population is Irish. Wow, I've got questions
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: me too.
- 1:03:37Speaker 12: Actually, Boston does make sense because they're the Celtics, the
- 1:03:40Speaker 12: NBA team.
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: That does make Chicago eight percent. Okay, I would think
- 1:03:45Speaker 3: Chicago more Polish. I think Eastern maybe Eastern European.
- 1:03:49Speaker 12: But I feel like they celebrate more than anyone on St.
- 1:03:53Speaker 12: Patrick's Day.
- 1:03:54Speaker 3: Yes, I would agree with that. In New Orleans, I
- 1:03:57Speaker 3: would have thought maybe New Orleans. Now there's a website
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: called Religion Unplugged and they also ranked the top. This
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: is like per capita, who has the most Irish pubs?
- 1:04:11Speaker 8: Ok?
- 1:04:11Speaker 3: And Irish restaurants And we have a great one. I'll
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: get to that one in just a moment. New York
- 1:04:16Speaker 3: City number one. Number two is Tampa, Florida, Number three
- 1:04:21Speaker 3: San Francisco, number four Boston, and number five is Philadelphia.
- 1:04:27Speaker 12: Okay, they do it big.
- 1:04:29Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: The least number of Irish pubs Fort Worth, Wichita, Kansas,
- 1:04:34Speaker 3: al Paso, Tucson, Arizona, and San Jose, California.
- 1:04:40Speaker 12: Interesting.
- 1:04:41Speaker 3: Yeah, we have a great Irish pub here, Yes, we do.
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: It's called Bog and Barley and ladies and gentlemen, if
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: you're coming through, it's worth it's worth a visit. The
- 1:04:53Speaker 3: owners actually had the entire bar and pub made in
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: Ireland and then it was shipped over in a symboled
- 1:05:00Speaker 3: in Memphis, and it looks like you're just walking into
- 1:05:03Speaker 3: an old school Irish pub.
- 1:05:05Speaker 12: Yeah, you get brought way back in time, like the wood,
- 1:05:08Speaker 12: everything is so it's very authentic. You just feel like
- 1:05:12Speaker 12: you're in a different time.
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: It's and the food is insane, the fish and chips,
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: the whole nine yards.
- 1:05:18Speaker 12: Yeah, I didn't realize that they put peas on a
- 1:05:20Speaker 12: fish and chips platter.
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: I'm not sure why.
- 1:05:22Speaker 12: Yeah, I don't either.
- 1:05:23Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, you can hold the piece, you can
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: hold the piece. I'm good, I'm good. But it's called
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: Bog and Barley, and the chef is actually from a
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: Bogan Barley. Dot Com is the website and you'll get it.
- 1:05:34Speaker 3: This is where I hang out. I love this place
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: and it's just a great story. The chef, I believe
- 1:05:41Speaker 3: if they've still got the same chef, he's from Ireland,
- 1:05:44Speaker 3: and they do like an authentic They have a whiskey lounge.
- 1:05:48Speaker 3: They do the Sunday brunch and it's like the Scotch eggs,
- 1:05:52Speaker 3: the whole nine yards. It's like you're getting the authentic
- 1:05:55Speaker 3: real deal, you know, Irish Irish meal.
- 1:06:00Speaker 12: Yeah, and you can miss it if you're not careful.
- 1:06:01Speaker 12: So you've got to go. If you're in Memphis, it's
- 1:06:04Speaker 12: like a hidden gym almost.
- 1:06:06Speaker 7: You know.
- 1:06:06Speaker 3: It's I mean again, just the fact that they built
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: all of this over it's like a seventy one hundred
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: square foot restaurant. It was designed to build in Ireland.
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: Are you ready for this? Four hundred and forty seven pieces,
- 1:06:20Speaker 3: even the booths were made in Ireland and then they
- 1:06:23Speaker 3: were assembled on right there on site.
- 1:06:27Speaker 12: I bet you there's no room to go for after
- 1:06:30Speaker 12: the show, Todd. I bet you there's no room.
- 1:06:32Speaker 3: Oh, sold out, they'll be Yeah, they'll be out, sold out.
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: I mean you've got to You've got to get a reservation.
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: You know, just a good but the fish and chips
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: are worth it. The turner sauce put it on a
- 1:06:41Speaker 3: flip flop.
- 1:06:41Speaker 8: Baby.
- 1:06:42Speaker 3: It is that good, I know, and I et a
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: lot of flip flops.
- 1:06:47Speaker 12: I have a great burger too, By the way. I
- 1:06:48Speaker 12: don't know if you've had it. It's very good.
- 1:06:50Speaker 3: Do they really Yes? I never would have thought that.
- 1:06:53Speaker 8: Yep.
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: But are you ready at two point five million dollars? Wow,
- 1:06:57Speaker 3: that's so much that that it cost to build this.
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: But it's pretty impressive. Nine oh one two six zero
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: five nine two six all that to save. You're celebrating
- 1:07:06Speaker 3: Saint Patrick's Day. Hope you're having a great day. I
- 1:07:08Speaker 3: hope you can remember it. I remember when I was
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: at New York City, my very first Saint Patrick's Day,
- 1:07:13Speaker 3: and they do it huge there in New York City,
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: and people start showing up at like six thirty seven
- 1:07:19Speaker 3: o'clock in the morning for the parade, and they do
- 1:07:22Speaker 3: the bar crawls and that starts as soon as the
- 1:07:25Speaker 3: sun rises. And I remember Dylan and I was walking out.
- 1:07:28Speaker 3: I was working the late night shift at Fox, so
- 1:07:31Speaker 3: my hours were nine p to six A. And I
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: remember walking out onto sixth Avenue. They call that the
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: Avenue of the Americas, and the parade itself is just
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: one block up on Fifth Aveny, and so I'm walking out.
- 1:07:44Speaker 3: I was gonna it was it was actually a nice morning,
- 1:07:46Speaker 3: so I was gonna, you know, walk home. You couldn't walk,
- 1:07:50Speaker 3: primarily because there were already people passed out drunk on
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: the sidewalk.
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: Six am, six am.
- 1:07:55Speaker 3: I'm like, what in the world is going on here?
- 1:07:57Speaker 12: They take it seriously. They have to get started early.
- 1:08:00Speaker 3: By the way, lowest average beer prices on the Saint
- 1:08:04Speaker 3: Patrick's Day I am shocked by this. Madison, Wisconsin.
- 1:08:08Speaker 8: Wow.
- 1:08:08Speaker 3: I kind of figured they'd be a little pricey. Also, Jackson,
- 1:08:11Speaker 3: Mississippi's on the list. Oh boy, we don't judge the
- 1:08:16Speaker 3: highest beer prices Arlington, Virginia, Jersey City, Philadelphia, Salem, Oregon.
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: So you folks in Salem, Oregon listening to us on
- 1:08:25Speaker 3: kyk in, you're paying a chunk of change for a
- 1:08:28Speaker 3: beer today. And then Anchorage, Alaska, Well, you got to
- 1:08:32Speaker 3: drink Guinness, right.
- 1:08:33Speaker 12: I think that's the thing. I've had a Guinness. It's okay.
- 1:08:38Speaker 12: They like celebrate the Guinness on today.
- 1:08:41Speaker 3: I will say that I have not been to the
- 1:08:44Speaker 3: Saint Patti's Day celebration in Savannah, Georgia, but they say
- 1:08:48Speaker 3: that is a lot of fun and it's like on
- 1:08:50Speaker 3: par with what you would get in New York City. So,
- 1:08:54Speaker 3: any of our Georgia listeners, if you've been to Savannah
- 1:08:56Speaker 3: during Saint Patrick's Day let us know. But the overall
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: best cities a Saint Patrick's State, Boston, Reno, Savannah, Overland Park, Kansas, Henderson,
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: North Nevada, Omaha, Nebraska, and New York City. So there
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: you go. Uh, let's go to the phones here Wallace
- 1:09:14Speaker 3: in O'calla, Floriada listening to us on woc A. Wallace,
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: what's on your mind?
- 1:09:20Speaker 4: Man, God bless everybody. I loved you, guys. I was
- 1:09:23Speaker 4: just standing through the radio and found a talk show
- 1:09:26Speaker 4: that really got me stirred up.
- 1:09:28Speaker 8: For listen.
- 1:09:29Speaker 4: I'm a general sports court sports.
- 1:09:31Speaker 3: Called guy Storman Norman.
- 1:09:34Speaker 4: Yes, I'm a no nonsense guy. I would love to
- 1:09:36Speaker 4: run to be the president of the United States.
- 1:09:38Speaker 8: Trey.
- 1:09:38Speaker 4: Reason why America needs a father figure, they need a leader.
- 1:09:42Speaker 4: I'll leader. Don't follow it, we leave. And the problem
- 1:09:45Speaker 4: that we haven't in America is that we have been
- 1:09:47Speaker 4: so liberal to the point that it's like buy any
- 1:09:50Speaker 4: elastic pants, they just fall off. We have no borders
- 1:09:53Speaker 4: as far as pertaining to standards of living. We just
- 1:09:57Speaker 4: we just out of whack.
- 1:09:59Speaker 19: We off set.
- 1:10:00Speaker 4: And you know, with the Democrats, Republicans, Independence get rid
- 1:10:04Speaker 4: of all of that. That system is broke. We need
- 1:10:07Speaker 4: to vote for the individual, personality of the person. That's
- 1:10:11Speaker 4: why we got problems with the Democrats. This is why
- 1:10:13Speaker 4: we got problems with the Republicans and independence. We got this.
- 1:10:17Speaker 4: The system is pro I'm just gonna be honest with you.
- 1:10:20Speaker 4: Let's go back to the always and vote for the
- 1:10:22Speaker 4: individual because right now, if we don't tighten up doing
- 1:10:25Speaker 4: what Trump is doing, we will not be an American.
- 1:10:28Speaker 4: I want you guys to listen to them. Because the Muslims,
- 1:10:31Speaker 4: their resolution is the fact that in order to bring
- 1:10:34Speaker 4: back their their God or whatever they call it, they
- 1:10:38Speaker 4: have to start a revolution to bring him back. That's
- 1:10:41Speaker 4: why they fight so much. I don't know if people
- 1:10:43Speaker 4: know that. If then the Kuran, But with the Christian
- 1:10:46Speaker 4: folks who're looking for Christ to return to say those
- 1:10:49Speaker 4: who have been redeemed, but for their emon, they have
- 1:10:53Speaker 4: to fight to bring him back to to to to
- 1:10:57Speaker 4: destroy us as as as infidels. And it's right there.
- 1:11:02Speaker 4: And I don't see why Americas just we just we
- 1:11:05Speaker 4: just sleep it until something happened. Then they said, well,
- 1:11:08Speaker 4: why didn't there someone do something about it. Well, listen, guys, America,
- 1:11:13Speaker 4: we need to get back to the word of God
- 1:11:16Speaker 4: and and and and offer him up because right now
- 1:11:19Speaker 4: we are we are sick nation.
- 1:11:20Speaker 3: It's it's really that simple, Wallace. I've got to answer
- 1:11:23Speaker 3: you a question. What is that ticking noise in the background.
- 1:11:27Speaker 4: That is my emergency flash hold on?
- 1:11:30Speaker 3: No, no, no, I just wanted to make sure nothing
- 1:11:32Speaker 3: was about to blow up. So I'm glad it was
- 1:11:33Speaker 3: your blinker. I was getting a little nervous for you there,
- 1:11:38Speaker 3: you know, Wallace. No, First of all, I'm glad you
- 1:11:41Speaker 3: were scanning and found w O c A. And we're
- 1:11:44Speaker 3: we're on the station noon to three every day, Monday
- 1:11:47Speaker 3: through Friday, and and I'm with you. The the answer
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: to all of this is for our nation to return
- 1:11:53Speaker 3: to God. We we need a great revival to happen
- 1:11:58Speaker 3: in this nation. And I think our churches especially have
- 1:12:01Speaker 3: to get serious about teaching the Word and also teaching
- 1:12:05Speaker 3: about the dangers of these religions like Islam. I think
- 1:12:08Speaker 3: we have a very uneducated population and they don't know
- 1:12:12Speaker 3: the history of Islam. So we've got to make sure
- 1:12:15Speaker 3: that we're teaching the next generation history so they can
- 1:12:19Speaker 3: understand the context of why a lot of folks are
- 1:12:22Speaker 3: getting very nervous about where this country is headed.
- 1:12:26Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you one hundred percent. List his
- 1:12:28Speaker 4: hands down on that, because nothing ever should be mentioned
- 1:12:32Speaker 4: about having a shar real law even mentioned table in
- 1:12:36Speaker 4: the United States when I first wart it on, like
- 1:12:37Speaker 4: are you kidding me? You can't do that over there,
- 1:12:42Speaker 4: They're gonna cut your head off.
- 1:12:44Speaker 8: Yep.
- 1:12:44Speaker 4: So why will we been so liberal in America? Or
- 1:12:46Speaker 4: y'all can come on in, do what you want to,
- 1:12:48Speaker 4: how you want and how long you want to and
- 1:12:49Speaker 4: who you wanna come on, wh where's the standards in America.
- 1:12:54Speaker 4: I'm a pastor and I'm telling you right now we
- 1:12:57Speaker 4: need to get back to God lift them up. And
- 1:12:59Speaker 4: he said, listen, give string it out. God's gonna streen
- 1:13:01Speaker 4: it out. We need to support our president because if we
- 1:13:04Speaker 4: don't get those guys down, they're gonna get us down.
- 1:13:07Speaker 4: And you guys, let me tell you something. Right now,
- 1:13:09Speaker 4: they got sale groups right now. They ain't saying a word.
- 1:13:12Speaker 4: That's why you don't see them cheering. They're just setting
- 1:13:15Speaker 4: it up and they're waiting for the right time. And
- 1:13:17Speaker 4: they're gonna catch us in the malls. They're gonna catch
- 1:13:19Speaker 4: us in the airport, They're gonna catch.
- 1:13:21Speaker 5: It the bus stop.
- 1:13:22Speaker 4: Guys, listen to me. You need to have the sermon
- 1:13:25Speaker 4: in America. Please wake up. These people are.
- 1:13:27Speaker 7: Not your friends.
- 1:13:28Speaker 4: They you're worse in the smile in your face and
- 1:13:31Speaker 4: stab you in your back at the same time.
- 1:13:34Speaker 3: Uh well, Wallace, we'll call you, Pastor Wallace. U Pastor Wallace.
- 1:13:38Speaker 3: Don't be a stranger. Give us a holler back one
- 1:13:40Speaker 3: of these days. And I appreciate what you said, because
- 1:13:43Speaker 3: it's the it's the God's honest truth, and that is
- 1:13:46Speaker 3: that's the solution. But we have a clear and present
- 1:13:49Speaker 3: danger that we're staring at right now in this country. Everybody,
- 1:13:52Speaker 3: all right, we've got to take a break here A

- 1:16:47Speaker 3: don't mean to hear it just somewhere on the streets,
- 1:16:50Speaker 3: you know. I think it's important that you, Parker May,
- 1:16:53Speaker 3: and you have been a part of our team for
- 1:16:54Speaker 3: what gosh, almost what five six years? It's been a
- 1:16:58Speaker 3: long time, yeah, four now at least at least so
- 1:17:02Speaker 3: Dylan and I want you to hear this. It turns
- 1:17:07Speaker 3: out that I have been asked to be an endorser
- 1:17:12Speaker 3: on on the Instagram. There's a product, a product has
- 1:17:17Speaker 3: reached out to me that the makers of this product
- 1:17:20Speaker 3: and they they want yours truly to endorse their product.
- 1:17:25Speaker 12: You've made influencer status.
- 1:17:27Speaker 8: I'm here.
- 1:17:27Speaker 3: Does that make me an influencer?
- 1:17:29Speaker 12: Kind of does?
- 1:17:30Speaker 3: Parker? I mean you're kind of this is like your
- 1:17:32Speaker 3: age demographic here. Does that mean that I'm somebody?
- 1:17:35Speaker 21: Now? I think you are worse somebody. This is the
- 1:17:39Speaker 21: next level for you. And my first question immediately is
- 1:17:42Speaker 21: I need to know what this product is.
- 1:17:44Speaker 3: Gentlemen, brace yourselves. I have lips, beautiful lips, and a
- 1:17:52Speaker 3: company wants my lips. This is not a good start
- 1:17:56Speaker 3: to sell their product. This is not a great it's
- 1:18:00Speaker 3: it's an organic limp bomb company, and they love my lips.
- 1:18:05Speaker 3: Apparently they're luscious. Now, I personally have known this. I
- 1:18:09Speaker 3: just never wanted to be bragagnocious about it.
- 1:18:11Speaker 12: But you know, I'm glad someone else finally noticed.
- 1:18:15Speaker 3: Or maybe or maybe they're just chapped and they felt
- 1:18:20Speaker 3: bad for me. I don't know.
- 1:18:21Speaker 12: Yeah, it's one way or the other.
- 1:18:23Speaker 3: So this is interesting. It's called it's a company called
- 1:18:26Speaker 3: four Organics NYC, New York City, and they sell organic
- 1:18:31Speaker 3: limp bomb, and so they want me to they want
- 1:18:33Speaker 3: me to consider honking their their product. And it just
- 1:18:36Speaker 3: arrived in the male guys, which at first I thought
- 1:18:39Speaker 3: this was a joke. I'm like, oh, I've heard that before.
- 1:18:43Speaker 3: I have luscious lips. Yeah, I've heard that line a
- 1:18:46Speaker 3: time or two. Let's move on. So So anyway, for
- 1:18:54Speaker 3: those of you watching, they sent me the lip palm here,
- 1:18:57Speaker 3: and uh, it's all organic, so it's not you know that.
- 1:19:02Speaker 3: I guess they put a lot of weird stuff in
- 1:19:04Speaker 3: lip balm?
- 1:19:04Speaker 12: Does that mean you can eat it? Is that what
- 1:19:06Speaker 12: organic means?
- 1:19:07Speaker 3: I think you could actually use it, like, I know,
- 1:19:09Speaker 3: like a condiment, like for like a sandwich. You could like,
- 1:19:13Speaker 3: you know, shmear it.
- 1:19:14Speaker 12: In your case of flip flop.
- 1:19:16Speaker 3: Possibly. Yeah, it's one USDA organic ingredients, so I think
- 1:19:21Speaker 3: you could eat it. It's got something called organic coconut oil,
- 1:19:26Speaker 3: organic bees wax organic. Is it jajoba oil jojoba jojobab jajoba?
- 1:19:35Speaker 12: Yeah, I don't know one of those?
- 1:19:37Speaker 3: And organic peppermint oil?
- 1:19:39Speaker 12: Wow? Does it have a scent?
- 1:19:42Speaker 3: Hold on, I'm trying to open it up as a Parker?
- 1:19:45Speaker 3: Are you a Are you a lip bomb guy? I? Alwa,
- 1:19:47Speaker 3: get too personal here? Are you a lip bomb guy?
- 1:19:50Speaker 21: I usually am not, but I'm very happy they selected.
- 1:19:55Speaker 20: You for this.
- 1:19:56Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure if I should. You know, I've
- 1:19:58Speaker 3: got them. It smell delicious.
- 1:20:01Speaker 12: What does it smell like?
- 1:20:02Speaker 3: What is it smells like? Peppermint. It smells like peppermint.
- 1:20:06Speaker 12: We have a lot of peppermint in the studio.
- 1:20:08Speaker 3: I'm not sure if I if I really want to
- 1:20:10Speaker 3: anoint my lips on air. That's the that's the issue.
- 1:20:14Speaker 12: It seems like you kind of have to though eventually. Yeah,
- 1:20:17Speaker 12: I'm gonna have to put it on Instagram, so it
- 1:20:18Speaker 12: might as well do it on the air.
- 1:20:20Speaker 3: So I don't know. My question is are my lips
- 1:20:22Speaker 3: going to be like in a commercial or I'm going
- 1:20:24Speaker 3: into the photos studio. I'm a lip model.
- 1:20:26Speaker 12: Now, these are the tons of questions you need to ask.
- 1:20:29Speaker 3: I'm gonna talk to my agent about this. Yeah, I
- 1:20:32Speaker 3: know Parker. You know, we're getting ready to redo our
- 1:20:34Speaker 3: story and Parker is going to be, like, you know,
- 1:20:35Speaker 3: wearing our KWAM gear. So maybe I could get pointers
- 1:20:39Speaker 3: from him.
- 1:20:41Speaker 21: Parker, you're the one getting influencder deals.
- 1:20:44Speaker 3: Now, this is true. So maybe I'm an expert. So
- 1:20:47Speaker 3: any real people, real results. So there you go.
- 1:20:53Speaker 12: I'm excited for you, Todd. This is big for lip Bomb.
- 1:20:58Speaker 3: Yeah I can do that.
- 1:21:00Speaker 7: I can do that.
- 1:21:01Speaker 12: Wow.
- 1:21:02Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 1:21:02Speaker 3: So anyway, that's my news. Guys. I'm I'm a lip
- 1:21:06Speaker 3: palm indors. So happy I can thank you, Parker. I can.
- 1:21:11Speaker 3: I can feel the pride. I I sense it. I'll share.
- 1:21:17Speaker 3: They sent me multiple I'll be sure to pass them around.
- 1:21:21Speaker 12: It's like this is this has gone too far, Like
- 1:21:24Speaker 12: you're not your lips are not the only lips here.
- 1:21:27Speaker 3: I'm the only lips that matter. Though we stopped talking
- 1:21:30Speaker 3: about guys, I'm kind of getting creeped out right now.
- 1:21:34Speaker 3: I'm gonna be I'm just getting a little weird. So
- 1:21:37Speaker 3: maybe we should move it on. Can we talk about basketball?
- 1:21:40Speaker 3: So park Parker, this is kind of exciting, uh March madness. Brackets.
- 1:21:44Speaker 3: People are filming them out. I know the lovely Sheryl,
- 1:21:47Speaker 3: who's like this sweet, sort of like grandmotherly figure in
- 1:21:50Speaker 3: the building. She came rushing in and she said, here
- 1:21:54Speaker 3: are the brackets. I need your money. I'm like, whoa, whoa.
- 1:21:59Speaker 3: It's but apparently it's a big deal. How do you
- 1:22:02Speaker 3: feel about this year's tournament.
- 1:22:05Speaker 21: It's gonna be an exciting tournament, to say the least.
- 1:22:07Speaker 21: Last year's tournament was kind of chalk with all four
- 1:22:10Speaker 21: number one seeds making it to the final four. But
- 1:22:13Speaker 21: we've yet to see a really dominant team emerge. Obviously,
- 1:22:15Speaker 21: you get the likes of Duke, Arizona, Florida, and Michigan
- 1:22:18Speaker 21: as your one seeds, but I think this will be
- 1:22:20Speaker 21: a wide open tournament.
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: I'm very excited to watch anybody.
- 1:22:23Speaker 3: What have you already filled out your brackets?
- 1:22:27Speaker 21: I have, and I have left it time to have
- 1:22:30Speaker 21: some changes because, as I said, it's a wide open field.
- 1:22:34Speaker 21: So I'm not certain, but I really like Arizona so far.
- 1:22:38Speaker 21: It's kind of the team I've been leaning with Arizona
- 1:22:40Speaker 21: or Duke as kind of my champion.
- 1:22:43Speaker 3: All right, Dylan, what about you?
- 1:22:44Speaker 7: Are you?
- 1:22:45Speaker 3: Who are you liking?
- 1:22:47Speaker 12: This is like the year that I haven't paid in
- 1:22:49Speaker 12: to any basketball, so I'm completely out of the loop
- 1:22:51Speaker 12: on who's even good. But Duke looks pretty good. I mean,
- 1:22:55Speaker 12: I'm kind of biased towards the number one seeds, especially
- 1:22:58Speaker 12: Parker mentioned last year it was all number ones. I'm
- 1:23:00Speaker 12: hoping that a Cinderella team will come out of it,
- 1:23:02Speaker 12: but I'm looking at the list here, I don't really
- 1:23:05Speaker 12: know which team that would be. Maybe South Florida since
- 1:23:09Speaker 12: maybe there's a little bias there since they're in our conference,
- 1:23:11Speaker 12: the Memphis Tigers Conference. But we'll see.
- 1:23:14Speaker 3: Parker, is there is you know, like for somebody like
- 1:23:17Speaker 3: Dello who hasn't been paying attention, you know, but they
- 1:23:19Speaker 3: do want to, you know, get into the office bracket pool.
- 1:23:22Speaker 3: What would you recommend they they do as opposed to
- 1:23:26Speaker 3: just randomly, you know, guessing teams.
- 1:23:30Speaker 21: Absolutely, and there's no secret or magic touch of filling
- 1:23:33Speaker 21: out a perfect bracket. But there are certain things that
- 1:23:36Speaker 21: you need to look at. And everybody loves to pick
- 1:23:38Speaker 21: the upsets, but I want to help you pick the
- 1:23:40Speaker 21: right one because every year we look at the five
- 1:23:43Speaker 21: to twelve matchups in the six eleven and the seventh
- 1:23:46Speaker 21: tenths because you can usually always see one of those.
- 1:23:49Speaker 21: So I want to try to find the right one
- 1:23:51Speaker 21: at each of those seed lines. Starting off, Dylan, you
- 1:23:54Speaker 21: hit it right on ahead with South Florida in the
- 1:23:56Speaker 21: six to eleven matchup against Louisville. I really like them,
- 1:23:58Speaker 21: but potentially as a Cinderella team to make the Sweet sixteen,
- 1:24:02Speaker 21: they would potentially play Michigan State in the second round,
- 1:24:05Speaker 21: So I really like their path. A twelve seed he
- 1:24:08Speaker 21: might want to look at would be high point. Playing
- 1:24:11Speaker 21: Wisconsin in the first round. They match up really well
- 1:24:13Speaker 21: with them, would be a potentially tough matchup against Arkansas
- 1:24:17Speaker 21: in the second round, but I like their draw as well.
- 1:24:20Speaker 21: And then for a ten seed, I really like Santa Clara,
- 1:24:22Speaker 21: a team out of the West Coast Conference, similar conference
- 1:24:26Speaker 21: with two Gonzaga a tough matchup with Kentucky in the
- 1:24:29Speaker 21: first round, but I think they have the stize to
- 1:24:30Speaker 21: match up with them.
- 1:24:31Speaker 8: Really. Well.
- 1:24:32Speaker 3: Wow, that's he came loaded for pair today.
- 1:24:36Speaker 12: Yeah, And I think those are the games that people
- 1:24:37Speaker 12: really like, they care about more than a number one
- 1:24:41Speaker 12: seed versus a sixteen seed, because those are the games
- 1:24:44Speaker 12: that really are going to determine is my bracket going
- 1:24:47Speaker 12: to be good or is it going to be the
- 1:24:48Speaker 12: worst thing ever? Because you know, you take that team,
- 1:24:50Speaker 12: you take them farther far along, and then they lose
- 1:24:53Speaker 12: and then you're out.
- 1:24:54Speaker 3: It's interesting, guys. The last time all the number one
- 1:24:58Speaker 3: seeds made the final four was two thousand and eight. Wow, Kansas,
- 1:25:04Speaker 3: North Carolina, UCLA, and Memphis Titment. That's it. So there's
- 1:25:13Speaker 3: a guy Parker. This is great. There's a math professor
- 1:25:15Speaker 3: at Davidson College and he ran five thousand games through
- 1:25:20Speaker 3: his models, and he thinks that he's come up with
- 1:25:23Speaker 3: the final He's come up with the final four, and
- 1:25:27Speaker 3: he's predicting that all the number one seeds are gonna
- 1:25:31Speaker 3: are gonna reach the final four, Duke, Florida, Michigan, and Arizona.
- 1:25:36Speaker 21: I could see it happening in all honestly, I know
- 1:25:39Speaker 21: it eus just to predict it through a computer, but
- 1:25:42Speaker 21: I don't know. I think there are a few that
- 1:25:43Speaker 21: are really on upset potential. I think the one the
- 1:25:47Speaker 21: number one seed most likely to fall in my opinion
- 1:25:49Speaker 21: is Florida, especially with Houston in their region. So but
- 1:25:54Speaker 21: I like the number one seeds this year a lot.
- 1:25:57Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's good. And by the way, Memphis all UK.
- 1:26:00Speaker 3: We have listeners. Rhodes College they made the they made
- 1:26:04Speaker 3: the tournament, so that's kind of exciting Parker May.
- 1:26:08Speaker 14: Yeah, it's a.
- 1:26:08Speaker 21: Great opportunity for them, especially a school that is getting
- 1:26:12Speaker 21: back into the right form there. They have a well
- 1:26:14Speaker 21: coached team, so really excited for them.
- 1:26:16Speaker 3: Parker May joining us a sports start at KWAM News Radio. Also,
- 1:26:21Speaker 3: do we want to say where you go to school?
- 1:26:22Speaker 3: I wanted to kind of protect where you go to school?
- 1:26:24Speaker 3: But you're like a basketball your basketball team, what manager
- 1:26:28Speaker 3: you're on the team there at at the school you
- 1:26:31Speaker 3: go to Are we allowed to say the name of
- 1:26:32Speaker 3: the school?
- 1:26:34Speaker 21: Yes, absolutely we can.
- 1:26:35Speaker 20: So.
- 1:26:35Speaker 21: I worked for the bas team here at Stanford University
- 1:26:38Speaker 21: and we just wrapped up our season last week.
- 1:26:42Speaker 3: It's a great team, and I saw that they were
- 1:26:45Speaker 3: actually promoted. They were highlighting you in like a video
- 1:26:48Speaker 3: reel or something that looks they keep you pretty busy.
- 1:26:51Speaker 21: Yes they do. So have been a great role with
- 1:26:55Speaker 21: them now, just finished my third season, So very.
- 1:26:57Speaker 3: Excited Parker by the way, We've had, of course, some
- 1:27:01Speaker 3: big news here and Dell and I want you to
- 1:27:03Speaker 3: weigh in as well. The big question was Penny Hardaway.
- 1:27:06Speaker 3: Of course, one of the great NBA stars, came back home,
- 1:27:10Speaker 3: coached what high school and AAU and then became head
- 1:27:15Speaker 3: coach of the Memphis Tigers eight seasons ago and first
- 1:27:20Speaker 3: time losing season. They're they're bringing him back. Do you
- 1:27:23Speaker 3: think that's a good move?
- 1:27:26Speaker 21: I do, just because I feel like the way Memphis
- 1:27:30Speaker 21: fans are kind of attached to him as just such
- 1:27:33Speaker 21: a Memphis legend playing here in college and then having
- 1:27:36Speaker 21: great NBA success. It'd be tough for fans to get
- 1:27:40Speaker 21: behind a new hire. But I do think this is
- 1:27:43Speaker 21: one of their last hopes with Penny Hardaway, just because
- 1:27:47Speaker 21: after a very disappointing thirteen to nineteen season, he's making
- 1:27:51Speaker 21: a lot of staff changes for four assistant coaches now
- 1:27:54Speaker 21: being fired, so looking to bring in a general manager
- 1:27:57Speaker 21: in the next week to kind of help with nil
- 1:27:59Speaker 21: in the transfer portal. So a really critical season coming
- 1:28:02Speaker 21: up for pretty Hardaway.
- 1:28:03Speaker 3: Dylan.
- 1:28:03Speaker 12: I don't think the players are listening to him, that's
- 1:28:06Speaker 12: the problem. I think like he's a great recruiter. He's
- 1:28:10Speaker 12: always been a great recruiter. We get we get the
- 1:28:12Speaker 12: top recruits most years. But I think another factor that
- 1:28:16Speaker 12: goes into this is his buyout. His buyout is like
- 1:28:19Speaker 12: six million dollars and that's a lot of money. So
- 1:28:22Speaker 12: they would rather keep him, maybe have a decent mediocre
- 1:28:26Speaker 12: season than get rid of him right now. So we'll
- 1:28:29Speaker 12: see how he does. I hope he does well.
- 1:28:31Speaker 3: I think it's funny though, because last season he got
- 1:28:33Speaker 3: rid of all of his assistant coaches and so these
- 1:28:36Speaker 3: are the new batch that just got fired. He's had
- 1:28:39Speaker 3: since he's been here, Guys, he's had well over fourteen
- 1:28:42Speaker 3: assistant coaches, which it makes you wonder if if maybe
- 1:28:48Speaker 3: the problem has not been resolved just yet.
- 1:28:52Speaker 21: It's been a really interesting dynamic. You mentioned over fourteens
- 1:28:56Speaker 21: to think coaches. Now some of them has gone on
- 1:28:59Speaker 21: to be head coach. Is one of his former assistant
- 1:29:01Speaker 21: coaches is actually in March Manis this year at Tennessee State.
- 1:29:04Speaker 21: But a lot of them have just not worked out
- 1:29:06Speaker 21: at Memphis, and we'll see if this next group can
- 1:29:08Speaker 21: kind of be the right puzzle pieces man.
- 1:29:10Speaker 3: All right, all right, have you done spring break yet, Parker?
- 1:29:14Speaker 21: We have. It was last week, so now getting back
- 1:29:17Speaker 21: into the full swing of the semester and excited for
- 1:29:20Speaker 21: March Madis to get going this week.
- 1:29:21Speaker 3: It's gonna be a lot of fun. So we're gonna
- 1:29:22Speaker 3: get you back on because we want to talk brackets
- 1:29:24Speaker 3: and bracketology and it's gonna be a lot of fun. Dylan,
- 1:29:28Speaker 3: We got to fill out our brackets. Ryl's gonna come
- 1:29:30Speaker 3: after us.
- 1:29:31Speaker 12: Yeah, she's asking for the money, and uh, we don't
- 1:29:33Speaker 12: have the money.
- 1:29:34Speaker 3: But I'll send you some. I'll spatch you please.

- 1:30:31Speaker 3: and the Senate is getting ready to do something with
- 1:30:35Speaker 3: the Save America Act. We're going to keep you updated
- 1:30:37Speaker 3: on that. Also, story out of Seattle where Starbucks workers
- 1:30:42Speaker 3: are going on strike and they just got a master
- 1:30:45Speaker 3: class in economics. We'll tell you all about that as well.
- 1:30:48Speaker 3: We'll be right back. Oh wow, Dylan idearing them all
- 1:31:01Speaker 3: of us were except for Helen. We ran out of lipbomb.
- 1:31:04Speaker 12: Ironically, Helen was the only one that didn't try the
- 1:31:06Speaker 12: lip woops.
- 1:31:08Speaker 3: But we tried this, the new organic lip bomb, And
- 1:31:12Speaker 3: they're wanting me to become an endorser for their product,
- 1:31:15Speaker 3: and I wanted to research. I wanted to make sure
- 1:31:17Speaker 3: there weren't some sort of like far leftist organization and
- 1:31:19Speaker 3: this might have been a you know, a domestic terrorist
- 1:31:21Speaker 3: attack to take out my gluscious lips. But it turns
- 1:31:24Speaker 3: out they're on the.
- 1:31:25Speaker 12: Up and up pretty good.
- 1:31:26Speaker 3: Actually it's a good lip bomb, right.
- 1:31:28Speaker 12: Yeah, I told you my lips started tingling, and I was,
- 1:31:30Speaker 12: am I allergic? Is what I asked.
- 1:31:32Speaker 3: I think it's the tingle, is what there is?
- 1:31:34Speaker 12: That's it's supposed to be.
- 1:31:37Speaker 3: Ian The intern was able to sample it as well,
- 1:31:39Speaker 3: did he? Yeah? All right, good, sorry, so we're getting
- 1:31:44Speaker 3: a thumbs up here. All right, this is good? All right.
- 1:31:48Speaker 3: So I was going to try my hand because you know,
- 1:31:49Speaker 3: now I'm gonna have to do like a commercial for them,
- 1:31:52Speaker 3: and you know, I'm wondering. My voice is actually insured
- 1:31:57Speaker 3: by the insurance company, so if something ever happens, you know,
- 1:31:59Speaker 3: to the void, you know, I'll be able to survive.
- 1:32:02Speaker 3: But I'm wondering now if I should get my lips inshored.
- 1:32:06Speaker 3: Maybe I had no idea.
- 1:32:08Speaker 12: They may be the true star of the show.
- 1:32:10Speaker 3: Who would have thought? Who would have thought? So we're
- 1:32:13Speaker 3: putting to other commercial We're just trying out some things here.
- 1:32:16Speaker 3: So maybe our maybe our great listeners can help us
- 1:32:18Speaker 3: out if if this is the right mood to sell,
- 1:32:21Speaker 3: because you know, we have like my pillow and all
- 1:32:24Speaker 3: these others. So let's give it a shot here. Oh
- 1:32:29Speaker 3: I like that our mission is passionate, yet simplistic. Simplistic, simplistic.
- 1:32:38Speaker 3: Let us return back to the basis, to a time
- 1:32:43Speaker 3: when red dye number forty was only used to paint
- 1:32:46Speaker 3: your car. As consumers, we go tired of trying to
- 1:32:50Speaker 3: pronounce chromo lithium or wondering what its purpose is. Our
- 1:32:56Speaker 3: lip bomb is wrong, raw, pure, balanced, and most importantly
- 1:33:06Speaker 3: one percent organic. Your lips will save you.
- 1:33:14Speaker 7: Or lip bom?
- 1:33:16Speaker 12: But what do you think I've kind of creeped out?
- 1:33:19Speaker 3: Actually, really, I'm as kind of getting into it there.
- 1:33:23Speaker 12: You think it's like summer vibes, but you're kind of
- 1:33:25Speaker 12: like haunted house vibes.
- 1:33:27Speaker 3: Oh jeez, you don't want to haunted house vibes. Yeah,
- 1:33:31Speaker 3: well we'll test more. I was still shooting for the
- 1:33:34Speaker 3: cracker barrel endorsement. But whatever, we'll take what we can get,
- 1:33:38Speaker 3: all right. Hanging tight, everybody, if you're still there, we'll
- 1:33:41Speaker 3: be right back.
- 1:34:03Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:34:05Speaker 3: I'm the Irish to you. Toddo's startings here with you today. Hello, everybody,
- 1:34:09Speaker 3: welcome back to the Todd Starns Radio. So hope you're
- 1:34:12Speaker 3: having a happy Saint Patrick's day. Dylan and I'm feeling
- 1:34:14Speaker 3: the tingle now he's getting the Is it just me?
- 1:34:18Speaker 3: But again I don't have a return feed, so I
- 1:34:21Speaker 3: can't see. But it feels like my lips are somewhat
- 1:34:24Speaker 3: plumper now they're glistening. They feel plump.
- 1:34:29Speaker 12: You may be allergic.
- 1:34:32Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's like that time I got stung
- 1:34:34Speaker 3: by a bee. Good lord, I look like one of
- 1:34:38Speaker 3: those gals from our alongo.
- 1:34:41Speaker 12: Maybe that's what they do. Maybe this is the secret.
- 1:34:43Speaker 3: Vicky Gandy says, I love my lips. That should be
- 1:34:47Speaker 3: your new theme song. Thank you, Vicky. From listening to
- 1:34:51Speaker 3: us on k W A M. The next person, we're
- 1:34:53Speaker 3: getting messages from the ladies of the Todd Starns listening
- 1:34:56Speaker 3: show audience. And let me just say, we have the
- 1:34:59Speaker 3: most beautiful and all of America that listened to this program,
- 1:35:02Speaker 3: and she has asked to be anonymous Liberty Lips by Starns.
- 1:35:08Speaker 3: Oh I like that then, Patriot Puckerball.
- 1:35:14Speaker 12: They're so fast with these.
- 1:35:16Speaker 3: This is good, no chapped opinions. Jeez, brace yourself for
- 1:35:23Speaker 3: this one. Hot Takes, smooth Lips. Oh, that's miice. I'm
- 1:35:29Speaker 3: putting that on a bumper sticker.
- 1:35:30Speaker 12: You're choosing that one.
- 1:35:31Speaker 3: I'm putting that on the bumper sticker. Yeah, we gotta
- 1:35:34Speaker 3: I want to see you rolling around with that Hot Takes.
- 1:35:36Speaker 3: Maybe they can be a license plate.
- 1:35:38Speaker 12: Can we get a someone's going to be very confused.
- 1:35:41Speaker 3: Can we get a vanity plate? Patriot pucker Ball? Uh,
- 1:35:47Speaker 3: you guys are very clever out there, I tell you.
- 1:35:49Speaker 3: We also have a very clever audience as well. All right,
- 1:35:53Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
- 1:35:56Speaker 3: hour telephone. I mean now I can't feel my lips
- 1:35:58Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five nine six. So
- 1:36:01Speaker 3: we're always excited over at Newsmax to welcome over former
- 1:36:06Speaker 3: Fox colleagues, and Tracy Burns is one of those individuals.
- 1:36:10Speaker 3: Tracy worked for many years at Fox Business. One of
- 1:36:13Speaker 3: the smartest ladies I know when it comes to finance,
- 1:36:15Speaker 3: and she's written this great new book on how to
- 1:36:19Speaker 3: make sure that you are deducting every single thing humanly possible.
- 1:36:24Speaker 3: Maybe since we talked about the lipbomb, you could even
- 1:36:27Speaker 3: deduct your lip bomb from your taxes. We had a
- 1:36:30Speaker 3: great conversation though about also what's been happening in Washington
- 1:36:36Speaker 3: State where they are enacting these socialist policies. Now, before
- 1:36:40Speaker 3: we go to Tracy, I want to play this audio
- 1:36:42Speaker 3: I told you about Seattle, the Starbucks strikers. By the way,
- 1:36:45Speaker 3: the former CEO of Starbucks moving from Seattle, Washington because
- 1:36:50Speaker 3: of the massive tax increases, moving and relocating to Florida.
- 1:36:55Speaker 3: But anyway, Starbucks strike workers are on strike and they
- 1:36:59Speaker 3: got a master class in economics the other day. Take
- 1:37:02Speaker 3: a listen.
- 1:37:03Speaker 22: The Starbucks and University Way will close its doors next month.
- 1:37:06Speaker 22: The announcement comes just weeks after the end of a
- 1:37:09Speaker 22: three month strike.
- 1:37:10Speaker 2: At that location.
- 1:37:11Speaker 22: The shop's last day will be April fifth. A manager
- 1:37:14Speaker 22: at the University Way shop says that the strike ended
- 1:37:17Speaker 22: because workers couldn't afford to continue without pay. Employees say
- 1:37:20Speaker 22: they were not given a specific reason for the closure,
- 1:37:22Speaker 22: and that Starbucks told the location workers that they would
- 1:37:25Speaker 22: not be able to transfer to different locations.
- 1:37:28Speaker 3: And that ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when you're
- 1:37:31Speaker 3: a moron. So anyway, good luck to you former Starbucks.
- 1:37:35Speaker 3: They went out on strike and so the business shutdown.
- 1:37:37Speaker 3: Go figure. Anyway, here's our conversation with Tracy Burns. Johanvan
- 1:37:42Speaker 3: Now was Tracy Burns author of the great new book
- 1:37:46Speaker 3: that you need to read, Duck to Everything, hundreds of
- 1:37:50Speaker 3: tax tips, legal write offs, credits and loopholes. Tracy is
- 1:37:54Speaker 3: also the vice president of Women and Investing at Leventhal
- 1:37:58Speaker 3: Global Advisors. Tracy after the show, I want you to
- 1:38:01Speaker 3: help me figure out if I can deduct our interview
- 1:38:03Speaker 3: from my taxes as well. Congratulations on the great book.
- 1:38:07Speaker 20: By the way, Thank you very much, Todd.
- 1:38:11Speaker 3: All right, so let's just jump into this. What a
- 1:38:14Speaker 3: mess in New York City? We all sort of knew
- 1:38:16Speaker 3: this was coming. Is that going to be enough now
- 1:38:19Speaker 3: to bridge this? What they're talking about a seven billion
- 1:38:22Speaker 3: dollar budget hole that New York City is facing.
- 1:38:25Speaker 23: I mean, you might as well just hire the moving
- 1:38:27Speaker 23: trucks and hand those out instead of free bus rides,
- 1:38:30Speaker 23: because that's what's going to happen. People are just going
- 1:38:32Speaker 23: to move out. And the thing is, Todd, wealthy people
- 1:38:36Speaker 23: have the money to move. You can pick up, you
- 1:38:39Speaker 23: can go, You can claim residency in another state and
- 1:38:42Speaker 23: still keep the little peditaire in Manhattan if you so choose,
- 1:38:45Speaker 23: But you don't have to claim residency there, and you
- 1:38:47Speaker 23: don't have to pay into the taxes, and if you
- 1:38:49Speaker 23: don't want. It's the families, lower and middle income families
- 1:38:52Speaker 23: that are working so hard they get on the buses
- 1:38:55Speaker 23: every day to go to jobs in hospitality and all.
- 1:38:58Speaker 20: The things that go on in Manhattan.
- 1:38:59Speaker 23: They can't their kids out of school and pick up
- 1:39:01Speaker 23: and move and find another job.
- 1:39:03Speaker 20: So the only people he's hurting are the people that
- 1:39:05Speaker 20: voted for him.
- 1:39:06Speaker 3: Todd, Yeah, no, I think you're right about that. And
- 1:39:08Speaker 3: of course you know the business community too. They're packing up, moving,
- 1:39:12Speaker 3: they've been attacking Man Dommy's plans. Here's what Bill Ackman
- 1:39:16Speaker 3: wrote on X Guy. So if we can pull this up,
- 1:39:18Speaker 3: Man Dommy's strategy appears to be to make NYC an
- 1:39:23Speaker 3: unattractive place.
- 1:39:25Speaker 2: To live and to die.
- 1:39:28Speaker 3: And again, Tracy going back to that seven hundred and
- 1:39:30Speaker 3: fifty thousand dollars. You know, for somebody living in say
- 1:39:33Speaker 3: the middle of Ooklahoma, You're like, holy cow, that's big money.
- 1:39:36Speaker 3: That is not big money when it comes to buying
- 1:39:38Speaker 3: property in New York City, proper, no way.
- 1:39:41Speaker 23: Try buy a condo on seven hundred and fifty thousand
- 1:39:44Speaker 23: these days.
- 1:39:44Speaker 20: Good luck.
- 1:39:45Speaker 23: And between the cost of food and now fuel and
- 1:39:48Speaker 23: all the things there's a lot of they're going to
- 1:39:51Speaker 23: hit a lot of families with this, struggling to make ENSNY.
- 1:39:54Speaker 20: And now you're saying that everything I worked for above
- 1:39:57Speaker 20: seven hundred and fifty thousand is going to be taxed.
- 1:40:01Speaker 20: That's crazy.
- 1:40:02Speaker 23: I would be the first I'd be on the first
- 1:40:03Speaker 23: moving truck out of there if my residence was in
- 1:40:05Speaker 23: New York City.
- 1:40:06Speaker 20: And don't forget Todd.
- 1:40:07Speaker 23: Those people pay tax at the federal level, at the
- 1:40:10Speaker 23: state level, and at the city level. As it is,
- 1:40:12Speaker 23: they're getting hammered to begin with.
- 1:40:15Speaker 20: This just throws another nail on the cloth.
- 1:40:16Speaker 3: And if you ask me, it's insane, let me tell
- 1:40:18Speaker 3: you how bad it's going to I live in Tennessee, now,
- 1:40:20Speaker 3: my home state.
- 1:40:21Speaker 2: You know, we make biscuits here.
- 1:40:23Speaker 3: We got more bagel shops popping up all over the
- 1:40:25Speaker 3: place to accommodate all the New york Is come in
- 1:40:27Speaker 3: to town.
- 1:40:27Speaker 2: It's insane. I want to switch.
- 1:40:31Speaker 23: There's a reason why there's the Tonto Italian delis in
- 1:40:34Speaker 23: New York. In Florida now, that's exactly why there's a
- 1:40:37Speaker 23: lot of Italian delis in Florida now too.
- 1:40:39Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt about it, No doubt about it. I
- 1:40:43Speaker 3: want to switch gears. We got to talk about Washington State.
- 1:40:45Speaker 3: It's insane there too. Lawmakers are passing a so called
- 1:40:49Speaker 3: millionaire's tax. So it's going to impose about a nine
- 1:40:51Speaker 3: point nine percent on income over a million dollars for
- 1:40:56Speaker 3: individuals or couples in a household. And there are a
- 1:41:01Speaker 3: lot of folks out there that are already looking to
- 1:41:03Speaker 3: pack up and head east.
- 1:41:06Speaker 20: Can you blame them? I mean again, this is the
- 1:41:08Speaker 20: same thing.
- 1:41:09Speaker 23: I don't know why they don't realize that people with
- 1:41:12Speaker 23: money can move.
- 1:41:14Speaker 20: I'll tell you who this is going to hurt. Though.
- 1:41:16Speaker 23: There's a huge and I'm a wine drinker admittedly, but
- 1:41:19Speaker 23: there's a beautiful wine industry in Washington State. They can't
- 1:41:23Speaker 23: pick up and move those vineyards, much like Napa. What
- 1:41:26Speaker 23: they did to them in Napa, they're doing the same
- 1:41:29Speaker 23: thing now because those families, those are family owned businesses.
- 1:41:32Speaker 20: They can't pick up and move those vines.
- 1:41:34Speaker 23: To let's call it Tennessee, to come have bagels with you.
- 1:41:38Speaker 23: It just doesn't work that way. So those people are
- 1:41:41Speaker 23: going to get really, really.
- 1:41:42Speaker 20: Hurt, plus all the people they hire.
- 1:41:44Speaker 23: The ripple effects of these things are far and wide,
- 1:41:47Speaker 23: and it boggles my mind why politicians don't see that.
- 1:41:51Speaker 3: And Tracy, there's a report out from the Washington the
- 1:41:53Speaker 3: Association of Washington Business.
- 1:41:54Speaker 2: So they did a survey.
- 1:41:56Speaker 3: Forty four percent of businesses are open to relocating either
- 1:42:00Speaker 3: all or part of their companies. And we're not talking
- 1:42:03Speaker 3: about the businesses, you know, uprooting and going somewhere else.
- 1:42:07Speaker 3: We're talking about taking jobs with them. At what point
- 1:42:11Speaker 3: do you think these folks are going to get it
- 1:42:13Speaker 3: that this is bad, bad business all around.
- 1:42:16Speaker 23: Right when Florida, Texas, Tennessee become overpopulated, I guess because
- 1:42:21Speaker 23: that's where everyone's going. Because those states are good for business,
- 1:42:24Speaker 23: good for families. They're not taking every piece of your
- 1:42:28Speaker 23: paycheck back to the state, and.
- 1:42:30Speaker 20: They're trying to help you live a beautiful life.
- 1:42:33Speaker 23: All these other states mine included in New Jersey, by
- 1:42:37Speaker 23: the way, are trying to make up for bad mistakes,
- 1:42:39Speaker 23: and they're so deep in the hole right now that
- 1:42:42Speaker 23: it's so difficult to catch up. Because, as we just said,
- 1:42:44Speaker 23: the wealthy can leave the lower in the middle class,
- 1:42:48Speaker 23: they can't move as fast or as easy, and they're
- 1:42:50Speaker 23: the ones they're going to get.
- 1:42:51Speaker 20: Screwed with all this.
- 1:42:53Speaker 3: All right, our good friend Tracy Burns, we're going to
- 1:42:55Speaker 3: get her on the radio show as we get closer
- 1:42:57Speaker 3: to income tax time. She has a mind and this
- 1:43:01Speaker 3: book that she wrote about how you can deduct everything
- 1:43:04Speaker 3: is just really really remarkable. All Right, we're going to
- 1:43:08Speaker 3: take a quick break here of folks nine oh one

- 1:45:27Speaker 3: teams that are traveling to Tampa to wear pants in
- 1:45:31Speaker 3: the airport. In the international airport, of course, Tampa banning
- 1:45:36Speaker 3: with a tell of don't wear pajama pants. I think
- 1:45:38Speaker 3: they said it was a joke, but I don't know.
- 1:45:41Speaker 3: I don't know about that. By the way, Dylan, you
- 1:45:44Speaker 3: know we were talking about airline travel. Did you know
- 1:45:47Speaker 3: that back in the nineteen seventies American Airlines they had
- 1:45:52Speaker 3: a brand new fleet of Boeing seven forty seventies are massive,
- 1:45:55Speaker 3: massive jets, three hundred and three seats just in economy class.
- 1:46:01Speaker 12: Wow.
- 1:46:02Speaker 3: But there was a problem, not that many people wanted
- 1:46:05Speaker 3: to fly back in the nineteen seventies and the economy
- 1:46:08Speaker 3: they had a recession and a lot of those airplanes
- 1:46:11Speaker 3: were just what flying half empty, and the first class
- 1:46:14Speaker 3: was fine, but coach was another problem. So they did
- 1:46:18Speaker 3: something very interesting, Dylan. They ripped out fifty of those
- 1:46:23Speaker 3: coach seats from the far back of the airplane, so
- 1:46:26Speaker 3: the very back of the airplane they took out fifty
- 1:46:28Speaker 3: seats and they turned it into a full blown piano bar.
- 1:46:33Speaker 2: Oh.
- 1:46:34Speaker 3: They literally installed a real piano, a Wurlitzer electric piano,
- 1:46:39Speaker 3: and every one of their airplanes, I guess they bolted
- 1:46:42Speaker 3: it so it didn't you know, move around, and they
- 1:46:45Speaker 3: had a full bar and they actually had live piano.
- 1:46:49Speaker 3: It was not it wasn't like you know, recorded music.
- 1:46:52Speaker 3: They actually had real musicians playing live sets at thirty
- 1:46:56Speaker 3: five thousand feet.
- 1:46:58Speaker 12: This is fascinating. I kind of like it.
- 1:47:00Speaker 3: They they called it. And by the way, they had
- 1:47:02Speaker 3: Frank Sinatra Junior was brought into play. Passengers literally sing along.
- 1:47:09Speaker 3: They had cocktails and they were able to smoke cigarettes,
- 1:47:12Speaker 3: so they smoked cigarettes.
- 1:47:14Speaker 12: I forgot that you guys did that.
- 1:47:16Speaker 3: But here's the thing, Well I didn't do it.
- 1:47:18Speaker 2: But yeah, back in the.
- 1:47:19Speaker 12: Day, you were yes, you guys general, you know.
- 1:47:21Speaker 3: But it's interesting. It was only open to coach passengers,
- 1:47:26Speaker 3: so that was like the party end of the airplane,
- 1:47:29Speaker 3: and then the first class had to stay upstairs in
- 1:47:31Speaker 3: their area.
- 1:47:32Speaker 12: Wow, first class probably felt a little bummed.
- 1:47:34Speaker 3: For that, right exactly.
- 1:47:36Speaker 12: I mean it got the short end of the sick.
- 1:47:38Speaker 3: There you got music and dancing and booze and you know, cigarettes, cancer.
- 1:47:45Speaker 12: All the other all the things to make an airplane flight.
- 1:47:48Speaker 3: People literally dancing, literally dancing in the airplane.
- 1:47:52Speaker 12: Did the pianist have his own seat like a seat
- 1:47:54Speaker 12: belt if the turbulence hit?
- 1:47:56Speaker 3: You know, it's funny. I'm looking at the photo and
- 1:47:59Speaker 3: no he did not. So I'm just I'm a little
- 1:48:02Speaker 3: concerned by that because it's on a regular piano bench,
- 1:48:06Speaker 3: but the piano bench is clearly bolted to the floor.
- 1:48:10Speaker 12: These are the questions that I want to know.
- 1:48:12Speaker 3: You know, your grandparents is really funny. Your great grandparents
- 1:48:16Speaker 3: actually bought an organ, one of those Kimbal organs, and
- 1:48:21Speaker 3: they actually went to organ playing class and it had
- 1:48:25Speaker 3: like little presets for like the bossa nova beat or
- 1:48:28Speaker 3: the watusi. Yeah, and you learned how to play.
- 1:48:31Speaker 12: That's pretty cool.
- 1:48:32Speaker 3: It was like all the rage back in the seventies.
- 1:48:35Speaker 3: And then my parents would want like a date night,
- 1:48:38Speaker 3: so we got stuck going with me Ma and Papa
- 1:48:41Speaker 3: to organ lessons at the Southgate Mall in Whitehaven. If
- 1:48:46Speaker 3: anybody listening to us in Memphis remembers.
- 1:48:48Speaker 12: That, did you learn how to play?
- 1:48:50Speaker 3: No, just a little bit, but your yeah, your cousins
- 1:48:54Speaker 3: were like all over it.
- 1:48:55Speaker 12: The organ is hard. It's not a normal piano. You
- 1:48:58Speaker 12: have like several different yeah that you do it once.
- 1:49:00Speaker 3: Yeah, but a man, I love that Watusi beat and
- 1:49:03Speaker 3: the Possa nova. Yeah. For Taco Tuesday. You know, got
- 1:49:08Speaker 3: to have a little bit of fun. This news, ladies
- 1:49:11Speaker 3: and gentlemen. And this is great news for those of
- 1:49:13Speaker 3: you who love chocolate. The headline, Eating chocolate while studying
- 1:49:17Speaker 3: helps the brain retain new information and it's also linked
- 1:49:21Speaker 3: to higher test store scores. This is exciting. The study
- 1:49:25Speaker 3: in the magazine Appetite showed that students who snacked on
- 1:49:29Speaker 3: chocolate while cracking a book scored higher on memory, focus
- 1:49:34Speaker 3: and reasoning skills compared to those who did not. But
- 1:49:38Speaker 3: it's it's dark chocolate that's the key here. Dark chocolate.
- 1:49:43Speaker 3: They say that dark chocolate helps contribute to better blood flow.
- 1:49:49Speaker 3: It also boosts dopamine, supporting learning, memory, and motivation, and
- 1:49:55Speaker 3: every even a single serving, can improve memory and reaction
- 1:49:59Speaker 3: time within hours. There you go. Regular consumption of dark
- 1:50:05Speaker 3: chocolate is linked to stronger performance on test of reasoning, focus,
- 1:50:10Speaker 3: and verbal memory.
- 1:50:12Speaker 12: Sounds great, But you have to eat dark chocolate?
- 1:50:14Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, what about the milk check? I mean it
- 1:50:16Speaker 3: seems to me that milk chocolate is just watered down
- 1:50:19Speaker 3: dark chocolate. Yeah, so maybe you have to eat twice
- 1:50:21Speaker 3: as much.
- 1:50:24Speaker 12: Maybe we could be a part of an experiment there.
- 1:50:26Speaker 3: I'm willing, Yeah, I mean, you know, if they don't,
- 1:50:30Speaker 3: I'm just saying if they're if they're willing, I'm happy
- 1:50:32Speaker 3: to have that discussion. All right. Nine oh one two
- 1:50:35Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six are telephone number. That's
- 1:50:38Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 1:50:42Speaker 3: You know, I really do think, I really do think
- 1:50:46Speaker 3: that if the airlines would come up with something clevery
- 1:50:49Speaker 3: and I think the problem is that far too many
- 1:50:52Speaker 3: airlines they're dropping the ticket prices so low that it's
- 1:50:56Speaker 3: like becoming i don't know, greyhound in the air like
- 1:51:00Speaker 3: you're riding a bus. But if they were to add
- 1:51:03Speaker 3: like piano bars on a lot of the flights. I
- 1:51:08Speaker 3: think you get a higher clientele of passenger.
- 1:51:11Speaker 12: You might have people wearing pants again at the very least,
- 1:51:15Speaker 12: and shoes if.
- 1:51:16Speaker 3: We do that, and shoes, Oh my goodness. All right,
