  Speaker 5: I want you to write down our telephone number. We'll
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: be getting to your calls a little bit later on
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: in the show. Nine oh one two six zero five
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: nine two six. Our telephone number, that's one two six
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: zero five nine two six. Coming up in just about
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: a half an hour. Our good buddy Steve Gill is
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: going to be join us to explain what happened yesterday
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: in the state of Tennessee. What happened here is going
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: to have national ramifications, and I just want to give
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: you a heads up, a warning that it's not good.
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: It's we are. We're looking at a very demoralized Republican base,
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: right now and that is starting to show up not
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: only in all of the polling data, but now we're
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: getting evidence, actual physical evidence of that by the elections yesterday.
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: And it's not I know, a lot of the national
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: media they're focusing on the governor's race, and that's all
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: well and good. I mean, Marshall Blackburn, she won, She
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: was expected to win the and and again, you can't
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: just gauge what happened yesterday in Tennessee on that Andy
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: Ogles lost the incumbent. He had the endorsement of the
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: pre president uh the moderate the moderate Republican there guy
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: by the name of Charlie Hancher, had the endorsement of
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: the governor, a former Tennessee agg commissioner. He ended up
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: beating Ogles. This is a huge upset, and we're gonna
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: explain why that happened. There's there's a little bit more
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: to it. And it had nothing to do with Donald
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: Trump at all. It had everything to do with Andy
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: Ogles just being a bad candidate, and sometimes that happens.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: You know, a lot of these congressional races, especially they
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: are local, local, local, and if you're not taking care
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: of the local folk, then you're gonna have a big
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: problem on election. It doesn't matter who's endorsing you. So
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: we're going to get into all of that. Knox County, Tennessee.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: Let me just explain what's happening here. This is Tennessee
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: right now. Is the frog in a in a lukewarm,
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: lukewarm bowl of water or a pot of water. And
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: we are slowly but surely starting to see many of
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: these communities switch over from red to blue. Knoxville, Knox County.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: That happened last night. That was a huge, huge loss
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: for Republicans. The county mayor in Chattanooga almost got beaten
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: last night. A Republican almost got beaten. But Knox County
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: has gone from red to blue. So now you've got Nashville,
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: which has gone blue, You've got Memphis which has gone blue,
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: and now Knoxville, which has now gone blue. So you're
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: watching the rise of Democrats. And a lot of this
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: is coming from people moving into the state of Tennessee
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: from blue states and they're bringing their politics with them.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: But as you're about to discover a little bit later on,
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: we are watching a demoralized Republican party right now, and
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: the base of the party is just really disgusted with
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: the way things are going. As a matter of fact,
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: President Trump recognizes this. I want to play this audio.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: The presidents said up with a Jack Sherman of or
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: punch bowl, and he said, hey, look the Republicans. Republican
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: voters are angry cut forty one place.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: The question is will they vote because a lot of
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: them are very angry and Republicans. To be honest with you,
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean, they're angry at Republicans, but
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: they're not interesting. They're not angry at me, but they
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: are angry at Republicans. Everyone's always and there are some
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: there are some areas that are basically Democrat, but they're
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Trump like Pennsylvania. I win Pennsylvania easily. I win other
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: places easily. Look, I won Michigan easily. I did well
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: with Michigan, did well with almost everything. To be honest,
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: I did well with everything. But now the question is
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Roger's lost when you were on the ballot. Yeah, now
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: he's up again. Well, he lost one of them on
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: the ballot, and I won big in Michigan. But I
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: happen to think he won Okay, No, No, I think
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: I think it was a rig deal. I think they
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: rigged him out of it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: All right, So the President says, all you people, you're
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: mad at the Republicans, but you're not mad at him.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: Is that true? I am just curious about that. Do
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: you agree with the President's assessment that you're actually more
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: mad at members of Congress and you're not angry at
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: President Trump? Nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: two six are number. That's nine oh one two six
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: zero five nine two six. And again we're going to
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: talk to Steve Gill about this in just under a
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: half an hour from now, but I want to start
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: out with the story in North Carolina. We mentioned it
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: to you briefly yesterday. This one really bothers me because
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: for years I was very concerned that this was going
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: to end up happening where you would have a situation
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: where something that you wrote on social media, something you
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: did on social media as a teenager, would come back
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: and bite you in the behind. This is just a
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: weird story out of North Carolina. I will tell you
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: that the story the website that exposed it, this is
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: all I cat job on this woman, a black publication
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: called the ncbeat dot com. They're the ones that exposed
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: all of this, and I suspect this really has more
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: to do with her support of President Trump than it
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: does anything else. But her name is Britney Bolton House
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: and she's Hispanic, and she was crowned Miss North Carolina,
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: USA twenty twenty six. And so now she's under fire
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: because this organization, this website, went back and they discovered
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: that she had written all of these offensive things on
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: social media back when she was a teenager, a girl,
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: a juvenile, I think she was like sixteen or seventeen
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: years old, which she wrote these things. And so now
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: that she has been dethroned, they took away her sash,
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: they took away her crown, and they said that she
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: engaged in explicit relationship drama while she held a title
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: that was supposed to represent the state with dignity and class.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: That's the way this black publication framed this, this this controversy.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: But when in fact, this all happened over a decade ago,
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: so we now know exactly what she wrote. Now I
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: want to share some of these with you. My question
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: was was that the ah or the error? Which version
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: of the word, Because Dylan, as far as I know,
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: there is there is some difference there in the use
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: of that particular word that is the most heinous thing
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: you could ever do, even murdering somebody.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Sure that there is a difference.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: So error is worse than uh? Right?
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: Is that?
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Or is worse enough. But we all have to agree
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: that using that word, you're better off killing someone.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah in today's age.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, I just want to make sure we're we're
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: clear about that. So anyway, according to the NCB, we
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: they got ahold of all of these, all of these
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: things from like over a decade of very attractive young lady.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: By the way, she went twenty seven years old, Miss
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: will She was Miss Wilmington, USA. I wonder if they're
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: gonna strip her of that title. So anyway, back in
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: the day, when she was a teenage girl, she went
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: by the name Sosa the Stallion. That was her social media.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: Did you have a social media? Did you have like
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: a handle when you were school? Dylan the you know,
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I think my I put like five yews in my name.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: Dyl oh del long, DeLong, not very creative anyway.
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: These were posted between twenty seventeen and twenty nineteen and one.
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: She wrote, Ah I'm asf I don't care. According to
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: this publication, they went through and counted and they discovered
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: that she also said this ah has me fifty shades
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: of blanked op. That was an April of twenty seventeen.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: If my ad doesn't like you, I don't like you.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: That doesn't sound like very I mean, it doesn't sound
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: like it's being mean, right, I mean, this sounds like
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: this is part of her regular I don't know vocabulary.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: Here's another one. Your girl don't like me, but yo
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: ah does. There's like six s's does kind of like
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: what you did with the h And then in April
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: of twenty and seventeen, she said, I'm not yo ah.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: There are no errs and anything. She wrote it's the os,
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: not the ers anyway. According to the The nc Beat,
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: a lunthy post accused another woman's wc W is that
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: a wrestling organization that may mean something else, a flashing
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: random oz and letting them take shots off her all
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: spring break. Oh my, I hope she found the lord
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: between between then and now. So she was letting these
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: young men take shots off of her at spring break.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: That is a satellite. She's you know, she's being racist.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: But that's the accusation, is that she's she's being a racist.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: So anyway, the question here, ladies and gentlemen, should we
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: be punishing people for what they wrote like grown adults
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: were something they wrote back when they were were teenagers.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: But here's where I think things really went south. The
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: old tweets I'm reading from the nc beet. The old
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: tweets are not the only material circulating. Bolton House also
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: has been open about her political views. In a November
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: twenty twenty four post under sos to be Alandra, Oh,
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: I guess she's not the Stallion anymore, so to be Alandra,
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: she urged people to vote for the greater Good. That
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: sounds like she must have found the Lord between spring
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: break shots on her belly and today. Okay, well that's good.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: Praise the Lord. We love a great testimony here on
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: the Tod Stern Show. Anyway, she urged people to vote
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: for the greater good, criticized the previous four years, and
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: Kamala Harris warned that America risk becoming a third world
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: country and closed with Trump twenty twenty four with my
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: and she wrote this in Spanish and I'm not going
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: to repeat it. Because I may. It may. I don't
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: know what it means, and I don't want to get
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: in trouble, so anyway, and this is interesting. I want
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: to read what she wrote, and I think this is
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: ultimately why she lost her crown. I don't think it's
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: really about the a word she said. Tomorrow is the
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: last day to cast your vote, and I urge everyone
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: to consider the greater good when making your decision. Let's
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: not choose candidates based on personal gain, but rather on
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: what benefits our communities and our country as a whole.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: As the daughter of immigrant parents, I carry immense pride
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: in my American identity. Oh well, there it is. She's
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: a proud legal immigrant, for God's sakes. Can't have that
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: in America. From a young age, my parents instilled in
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: me the importance of being proud of our nation. Oh
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: my word, how horrified this young woman's parents, who came
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: here legally. They taught their child to love America. However,
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: she wrote, I am deeply concerned about the direction we
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: are heading. The American dream seems to be slipping away,
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: and we must fight to restore it. Reflect on the
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: last four years, have they truly benefited our country? If
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: you are considering voting for Kamala, ask yourself what that
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: choice means for our future. It feels as though we
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: are on the brink of chaos and potential collapse. We
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: cannot turn a blind eye to the sacrifices our parents
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: made for a better life, only to see our nation
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: resemble a third world country. Let's focus on revitalizing our
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: own homeland before extending our concerns abroad. Your vote matters,
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: Make it count for the future of America. Trump twenty
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: twenty four. Additional post show her at a Trump rally.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: Oh God, well, that's it. That's it twenty twenty one,
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: smiling in front of the former president, with the caption
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: thank you, Donald J. Trump, along with video content tied
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: to making America great again. The combination of the old
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: language and our political stances caused extreme criticism, particularly from
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: some in the Hispanic community. Facebook user Paulina Gallegos posted
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: a pointed attack in case anyone was wondering, this is
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: the Hispanic woman that has been chosen to represent US
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: women from North Carolina and the Miss USA pangeant, a
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: self hating Trump supporting, racist, ignorant woman who does not
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: speak for me. Or any of the other actual proud
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: Hispanics that love our roots. Get this woman out of
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: the pageant asam And well that's what they did.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: There.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: You have it, ladies and gentlemen. So again, does that
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: disqualify so again, something you wrote as a child, Does
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: that disqualify you from holding a job or should your
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: your entire life just be destroyed by that? And by
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: the way, when you read the context of the awe,
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: not the err, but the awe, when you read the contaxt,
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: I don't think those were racist. What say you? Nine
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: oh one two six zero five died two six. Our
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: telephone number, that's nine oh one two six zero five
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: nine two six. This is the Todd Stern Show.
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: Half a century later, Watergates still shapes how Americans view power,
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: scandal and trust. This weekend, the America two fifty film
• 15:16
  Speaker 8: series presents Watergates Secrets and Betrayals, revisit the investigation through
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: archival footage, interviews, and new arguments about what happened. Launched
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: Saturday and Sunday at seven pm Eastern on Salem News Channel.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: All Right, welcome back. This is the Todd Stern Show.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: So man, people are freaking out about what's happening in
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: Michigan is Sarah Huckemy Sanders, by the way, weighing in
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: on all of this. The governor of Arkin saw cut
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: forty six. Please.
• 16:02
  Speaker 9: You know I've said it before, I'll say it again.
• 16:04
  Speaker 9: It's no longer about right versus left. It's about normal
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: versus crazy, and right now we are seeing the crazy
• 16:11
  Speaker 9: side take over the Democrat Party.
• 16:14
  Speaker 10: As much as I.
• 16:15
  Speaker 9: Hate to see these ideas gain steam, I think it
• 16:20
  Speaker 9: is good for us to draw the contrast as we
• 16:23
  Speaker 9: head into the midterm elections.
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: The other side wants to.
• 16:27
  Speaker 9: Promote socialism while our side wants to promote and protect freedom.
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: We want to see what this country was founded on.
• 16:36
  Speaker 9: The reason America is great, the reason people literally risk
• 16:40
  Speaker 9: their lives to come to this country is because we're
• 16:43
  Speaker 9: the freest country in the world, and they want to
• 16:45
  Speaker 9: take that away. They want to ruin every special and
• 16:49
  Speaker 9: unique and different about America and crush our country. It
• 16:54
  Speaker 9: is unbelievable, but we have to make that contrast unbelievably clear.
• 16:59
  Speaker 9: And as they can continue to promote more and more
• 17:02
  Speaker 9: socialist candidates, we have to continue to educate and remind
• 17:06
  Speaker 9: people of the difference and I think it's going to
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: pay off, and we're going to win much bigger in
• 17:11
  Speaker 9: November if they continue to move so far to the
• 17:15
  Speaker 9: left and continue to promote socialist canpis is no longer
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: in New York and California. You're seeing this in the
• 17:20
  Speaker 9: mainstream of the Democrat Party. Socialism is dangerous and we've
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: got to be sure we fight back against it and
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: when big in November because of it.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: Let me ask you this though, I do wonder though,
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: if the Republicans need to do a better job of
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: explaining what socialism is. In other words, they need to
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: do a better job of marketing their message to younger voters.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: And by younger voters, I'm talking about anybody under the
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: age of forty five, because that age demographic I would
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: say eighteen to forty five. They're getting hammered by a
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: lot of this stuff and they are very disappointed and
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: the lack of results coming from the Republicans. And I
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: think Trump's got a great point here. This is all
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: on Congress. I will say that when you see the
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: emphasis on an uh jesel, I don't want to hey
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: issues all right, When you see so much emphasis on,
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: for example, the reflecting pool and how conservative media that
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: was like a major scandal thing for them. You know what,
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: I don't think the average person just trying to figure
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: out how to pay their rent gives one hoot about
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: the reflecting pool. I'm not saying it's wrong that we
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: don't clean it up and fix it, but that's I mean,
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: we've been obsessed with building ballrooms and reflecting pools and
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: all of this other stuff when the average American and
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: the average young American voters are really struggling. So I'm
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: wondering if the messaging is off. Nine oh one two

  Speaker 5: interview with our good buddy Bill Cunningham from WLW. Bill Cunningham,

  Speaker 5: of course, the great One, as Sean Hannity refers to him.

  Speaker 5: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: is our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: zero five, nine to six. So look, Steven Miller warning
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: on Hannity that we've got a big problem in the
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: looming not so near future. Cut number thirty one.
• 21:03
  Speaker 11: That Cold War has come home. It's here in America.
• 21:08
  Speaker 11: This is the biggest, greatest, most existential struggle this country
• 21:13
  Speaker 11: will ever face sean because if Communists get control of
• 21:17
  Speaker 11: House seats, then set it seats and governor's mansions. The
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: American dream that for two hundred and fifty years our
• 21:26
  Speaker 11: heroes blood and died for is gone and it won't
• 21:30
  Speaker 11: come back because they will never let you get it back.
• 21:32
  Speaker 11: President Trump is the only thing right now standing between
• 21:37
  Speaker 11: the American people and that abyss.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: Yes he is. Do you and ladies and Joel Lays,
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: let me ask you this, do you are?
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Are you?
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: Do you sense that things are softening with the whole
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: Maga movement?
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: That does seem to be. That does seem to be.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: The conversation that's being had in the media is that
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: we're watching this softening of the America First movement, the
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: Maga crown make America great again. I will just say
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: this that Donald Trump has done a wonderful job. I
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: think Donald Trump has done everything humanly possible to deliver
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: on his agenda. The reality is he's got to have
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: he's got to have the House, he's got to have
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: the Senate. According to some new polling from CNN, that
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: data shows that support among Make America Gradinggan supporters has
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: plummeted twenty eight points. And a lot of that is
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: coming from these younger voters who feel and I think
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: the war in Iran is really really causing big problems
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: for this administration, whether they want to acknowledge it or not.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: But still the president when he's talking about these issues,
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: he does recognize that there is something going on. Here's
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: the president of this interview with punch Bowl talking about
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: Speaker Mike Johnson, cut thirty nine plays.
• 23:11
  Speaker 10: Johnson says has said in the past, if Republicans lose
• 23:16
  Speaker 10: the House, it'll be the end of the Trump presidency
• 23:19
  Speaker 10: in some in some well to some degree.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: Ay, to some degree, you still have tremendous a great
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: blocking power, so they won't be able to do anything.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: In other words, they won't be a COMPETI right, no, no,
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: I have great blocker. I'm a great blocker and you know,
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: they'll be putting horrible communistic type things in front of me,
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: and I'll be just saying no, no, no. But I'd
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: rather do I'd rather be a positive force than a
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: negative force.
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: By the way, the President also said that Republicans are
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: just too nice and they they don't bring a they
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: don't bring a knife to the fife. They I don't
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: bring an apple teeny or a cocktail cut number forty.
• 23:57
  Speaker 10: It might be are they more vicious and Republicans?
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: I think the Republicans are too Actually, I think the
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Republicans are much nicer. I think the Republicans are much
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: more gentle than the Democrats. I think the problem with
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: the Democrats they're bad policy. They're smart, they're vicious, but
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: they have really bad policy. Open borders, let the whole
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: world come into our country, Let prisons be emptied out
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: into our country. The transgender and mutilization of your children,
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: that's fine with them. All of these things that they
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: have men playing in women's sports. They want men playing.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: They have horrible policy. They love Crypto, they love AI,
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: but they don't like it if I'm involved in it.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: Because if I'm involved as president, Look, I've created the
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: greatest market. Nobody could believe that we're leading substantially China
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: as an example, in Ai and in crypto and it's
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: because of me. Biden was against all this. I don't
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: think Biden had any idea what it was. What it was.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: But our country right now is doing better than it's
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: ever done. And you know, when I see polls on
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: the economy, I should have I should have one hundred
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: and fifty percent.
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's true. And and he does have
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: a point there. The Republicans, they just don't have a fight.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: They don't know how to fight.
• 25:13
  Speaker 12: You know.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: I thought that that Trump was going to show them
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: how to, you know, how to fight, and which he did,
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: and they would learn and there are some. But what
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: happened is some of these folks wanted to actually become
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: Trump and you can't do that. You got to be
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: your own man, you know. Going back to the Tennessee
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: race yesterday, Congressman Andy Ogles, who came out and he
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: was really went hard on the Islam issue. He also
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: talked about homosexuality and the gays have no place in America.
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: He lost his race yesterday and a lot of that
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: had to do with the fact that he just did
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: not He did not run a good effective campaign with
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: the people in this newly redrawn fifth CongressI district. Keep
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: in mind, all the districts were redrawn, and so Ogles
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: picked up this huge chunk of western Tennessee that included Memphis,
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: and he reached down to me. Andy Ogles reached down
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: to me, and I said, Andy, I said, no offense,
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: but nobody knows who you are here, so you need
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: to spend a lot of time and this is where
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: a lot of the vote is. And he just did
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: not do that. I introduced him to people that I
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: felt like would be able to help him in the
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: Memphis area. One of those people reached down and said,
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: Todd never he never called, never called, never reached out. Well,
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: you know what, I'm sorry, but that's on you as
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: as a candidate, right. So you've got to you've got
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: to be able to read the people in your district
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: and you've got to be able to make sure you're
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: helping the people in your district.
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 26:45
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: Charlie Hatcher is the is the guy who got the
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: nomination former Tennessee ad commissioner. He is a modern He's
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: going to be one of these Republicans that will do
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: with the establishment tells him to do. So. He's not
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: a liberal, but he is probably a moderate conservative. The
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: governor of Tennessee, Bill Lee, who's a squish Republican you know,
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: endorsed the guy Trump endorsed Andy Ogles. But again, this
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: had nothing to do with Trump's endorsement. This had everything
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: to do with Andy Eagles just not doing a good
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: job as a congressman. And you can debate why that
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: was or what, you know, what would have worked what,
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: but it doesn't matter anymore. It really doesn't matter. So
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: the question now is will that become a pickup for
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: the Republicans? And that becomes a great, big question mark
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: now because the Democrat is I mean, if you read
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: the Democrat nominee, a guy by the name of Chas Molder.
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: And this guy, when you look at his resume, he's
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: very popular in his district. This guy, his resume reads
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: like a Republican, but he's a Democrat. And that that
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: could be a very close race and the Democrats might
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: pick up a seat there because this Molder guy is
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: not running as a radical. Now the radical is going
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: to be in Tennessee's ninth congressional district where this guy
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: we call him Jasmine Crockett with a powerfrow Justin Pearson.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: He won the nomination last night. He's going to go
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: up against a guy that name of Brent Taylor. Brent
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: Taylor has been on this program many times, and he
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: smoked the competition in the Republican primary. I mean, it
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: wasn't even close. But here's the challenge. When you actually
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: look at the overall numbers, it is very clear that
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: that ninth congressional race is going to be very close.
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: And if Republicans don't get out the vote in the
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: in the Memphis Shelby County area, the Democrats could be
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: sending another radical, a radical activist to Capitol Hill. Justin
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: Pearson is the guy who got up in the face
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: of a state trooper and called him a mother effing boy.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: That's who the Democrats decided to pick, and he by huge,
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: huge numbers. You said, well, Todd, isn't this a Republican district. Yes,
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: but again it's about population and turnout, and across the
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: state of Tennessee, Republican turnout was muted. You can figure
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: that out however you want to. But again, when you
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: look at the overall vote numbers Marshall Blackburn, and she
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: got forty three point four percent of the vote. Early on,
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: she had been leading and polling by upwards of sixty
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: seventy points. As a matter of fact, early on her
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: people were predicting a seventy point victory that did not happen.
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: John Rose, Congressman Rose got thirty two point nine percent.
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: And a guy by the name of Moni Fritz, And
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: we had this guy on the show yesterday. He spent
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: three hundred thousand dollars. I think his only out of
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: state donor was from Alaska, three hundred thousand dollars. And
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: the guy got twenty three point four percent of the vote.
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: Almost one hundred and sixty eight thousand people voted for
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: that guy. So that just tells you a lot of
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: division and a lot of unhappiness right now in the
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: Republican Party. And we got to get it all figured out.
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: What is it going to take to bring everybody together?
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: And I've heard from the Body for its people and
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: they're saying, unless our guy gets elected, we're going to
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: destroy everything. It's our way or the highway. You will
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: either do as we say. And those those people would
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: identify themselves as MAGA or grassroots. It's our way or
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: the highway. Well, you know what, that's no way to win.
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: You're going to be a perpetual loser at that point.
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's just the reality of it. So what's
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: going to happen moving forward, Well, that's going to depend
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: a lot on between what happens with the economy and
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: what happens with the war. And we've got it just
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: a couple of us to get all that figured out down.
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: So the question becomes, all right, where do you stand,
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: ladies and gentlemen, and do you agree with the president?
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: Are you are you angry at the Congress? Are you
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: angry at the President? Are you angry at both of them?
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: Because while we're having these conversations, Democrats are mobilizing, they're organizing,
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: they're getting out the vote. I tried to tell the
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: church community, uh in Tennessee, you got to get your
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: people organized and you got to get it out to
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: the polls voting values. They didn't do it, and they
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: got their butts handed to them. Nine oh one two
• 31:15

• 33:02
  Speaker 2: My vibe is like chill rave. It's not the jump

• 33:10
  Speaker 5: I love that. I love that. That's it was fun. Angie.
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: We had Angie Angie Wong on yesterday from Miami, and
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: she just dropped a little bit of knowledge on us.
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: Then she used to work for it. She was an
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: MTV gal back in the day.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's cool stuff. And I grew up on
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: watching those videos. That's how I got to know Taylor Swift.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately Taylor Swift on MTV.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: Really yeah, yeah, I grew up back well, you know,
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: MTV started when I was a kid and that's when
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: you know they actually had music videos. People those were
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: like all the rage. It was so much a lot
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: and for good reason. I mean it did work. Uh
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: hour telephone number. I want to share this info with
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: you only because no, I don't wanted to press you.
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: It's it's Friday. We gotta feel good. I know, I
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: know a lot of you Republicans are a little demoralized
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: in Tennessee right now. But it's important to share this
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: information because we've got we've got to fix the problem.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: And we can fix the problem. We just have to
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: get out the vote. That's what we have to do.
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: So yesterday, while Marshall Blackburn did great, she got the nomination,
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: I think she's going to win handily in the in
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: the in the governor's race, there are other issues. Democrats
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: won historic victories across Tennessee yesterday. For they have including
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: and I'm just going to go through these Democrats now
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: control the Knox County Board of Education. They also that's
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: Knoxville University of Tennessee. Democrats now control the Hamilton County
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: Commission that's the Chattanooga area, and the Montgomery County Commission
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: went from Republican to Democrat, ending the Republican super majority
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: on the Rutherford County Commission. That's Middle Tennessee State University.
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: That's a Nashville suburb. They also flipped key races from
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: Republicans a Democrat in one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, ten,
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: eleven counties across the state. It was just a tough
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: tough night for a Republicans. So there you have it,
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: ladies and gentlemen. Now we can step back and we
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: can just say, well, these are all just local races.
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: Look at what's happening in Texas right now. Look at
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: what's happening in North Carolina. Look at what's happening in Michigan,
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: where they're on the verge of electing a very dangerous
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: man who thinks America is racist, a man who pounds
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: around with with with terrorist sympathizers to the US Senate.
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: Let's go to the phone line Steve in Gainesville, Georgia,
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: listening to us on WDUN. Hi, Steve, what's on your mind?
• 35:51
  Speaker 14: Hi?
• 35:51
  Speaker 15: God, I just want to touch base with you. He's
• 35:54
  Speaker 15: the Democratic socialists that are running for Congress and Senate.
• 35:59
  Speaker 15: When you get elected, you have to take an oath
• 36:02
  Speaker 15: up home and defend the Constitution. So wouldn't that disqualify
• 36:07
  Speaker 15: them based on some of the thinkings that are running on,
• 36:10
  Speaker 15: like getting here the Senate, getting head of the president,
• 36:13
  Speaker 15: to the other crazy stuff they're doing.
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes it would, but that would require congressional leadership
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: to do something about that, and I just I don't
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: see him. I don't see them doing anything about that.
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: I mean, they've already got a bunch of socialists right
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: now upon Capitol Hill.
• 36:31
  Speaker 15: Yeah, that's true. And I'm also wondering, like Larah Trump
• 36:34
  Speaker 15: who ran the r C to try to shore up
• 36:39
  Speaker 15: the election process, it doesn't seem like the Republicans are
• 36:42
  Speaker 15: doing anything like that in these mid term or the
• 36:46
  Speaker 15: elections that are happening in between the mid term and
• 36:49
  Speaker 15: the president's elections.
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a look, it's a it's a well that
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: What's interesting about that is Trump is sitting on a
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: war chest of eight hundred million dollars and he is
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: going to be He's going to be using that in
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: the midterms to help these Republican candidates. But money, honestly, Steve,
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: is not the issue at all. As a matter of fact,
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: the Democrat Party is actually in debt. You've got the
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: Republicans and they have a lot of money on hand,
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: a lot, So that's that's not the issue. I just
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: think there is a very frustrated base of the party
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: right now. I think that's ultimately it. We got to
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: figure it out. See thank you for the call, Hang tight,

• 40:43
  Speaker 5: Also has a terrific book called Home Equity and Reverse Mortgages,
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: The Cinderella of the Baby Boomer retirement. Harlan, Hope you're
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: doing well today.
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: I'm doing well.
• 40:53
  Speaker 16: I'm actually in DC today. I'm going to have I'm
• 40:56
  Speaker 16: just a couple of blocks from the White House. I'm
• 40:58
  Speaker 16: speaking at a conference. Maybe I should go over there
• 41:00
  Speaker 16: and tell them that Todd sent me and they'll let
• 41:02
  Speaker 16: me in because there's an awful lot of National guardsmen
• 41:04
  Speaker 16: around there that when I was out running, they didn't
• 41:07
  Speaker 16: want me to go in.
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah I can understand that. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, just
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: tell them just name drop me and see what happened.
• 41:16
  Speaker 6: So I gotta give that a try.
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: Movement dot com slash starrings, ladies and gentlemen, and I
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: want you to write down the telephone number five eight
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: zero reverse. That's five eight zero reverse, Harlan. This has
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: been an exciting process because reverse mortgages have gotten such
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: a bad rap in the past, but now things are
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: completely different. Things have completely changed, and there's a lot
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: of excitement now in this reverse mortgage philosophy.
• 41:47
  Speaker 16: Well we're seeing it every day, Todd as people call in,
• 41:51
  Speaker 16: not just people from excuse me in general, but people
• 41:55
  Speaker 16: from your.
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: Show that have heard about it. And so I thought
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: this was bad. You know, I didn't know what the
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: deal was, and you know, there's all kinds of things.
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: They always say, what you don't.
• 42:03
  Speaker 16: Know doesn't hurt you, but you don't know can hurt
• 42:05
  Speaker 16: your retirement. You need to know about this stuff. And
• 42:08
  Speaker 16: so when we get the truth out. As in anything,
• 42:11
  Speaker 16: whether it's politics or business or whatever, you get the
• 42:13
  Speaker 16: truth out and things change.
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: Well, let's talk about that fifty percent of the people
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: over the age of sixty two that are still making
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: mortgage payments. What do you say to those folks.
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, it's crazy.
• 42:26
  Speaker 16: When my dad retired in nineteen eighty one time less
• 42:29
  Speaker 16: than five percent of people had a mortgage payment. It
• 42:34
  Speaker 16: was just a completely different time and obviously smaller home
• 42:37
  Speaker 16: values and so on. Well, today, just people over the
• 42:40
  Speaker 16: age of sixty two in my age bracket, fifty percent
• 42:43
  Speaker 16: are still making a mortgage payment and they don't understand
• 42:46
  Speaker 16: like I did that when I turned sixty two, I
• 42:48
  Speaker 16: just reversed my mortgage refinanced into reverse and my payment
• 42:53
  Speaker 16: went to zero. I could afford to make the payment,
• 42:55
  Speaker 16: but I didn't want to because there was other places
• 42:57
  Speaker 16: where it could go. And it has changed my life,
• 43:00
  Speaker 16: in the lives of our kids and our grandkids, and
• 43:01
  Speaker 16: of course my wife and I, Brendan and I are
• 43:04
  Speaker 16: very happy with how it's helped us, and so we
• 43:07
  Speaker 16: just want to get that news out to as many
• 43:08
  Speaker 16: people as possible that your payments can be optional after
• 43:12
  Speaker 16: you hit sixty two. If you want to make payments,
• 43:14
  Speaker 16: you can. If you don't want to, you don't have to.
• 43:16
  Speaker 16: And you do have to refinance into a reverse mortgage
• 43:18
  Speaker 16: to have that ability to be optional.
• 43:21
  Speaker 6: But there's so many people that just don't know that
• 43:23
  Speaker 6: that's what they can do.
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: And I have to imagine. I mean, if you're over
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: sixty two, you're making mortgage payments, well, there goes your
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: Social Security, there go your retirement accounts.
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: Well, exactly right.
• 43:34
  Speaker 16: You know, as soon as people get to sixty two,
• 43:37
  Speaker 16: and if they have retired, then they're living on Social
• 43:42
  Speaker 16: Security and their investment bucket, and all of a sudden,
• 43:46
  Speaker 16: that eighteen hundred dollars payment that seemed like it was
• 43:49
  Speaker 16: not a big deal becomes a big deal. And sometimes
• 43:52
  Speaker 16: it's a three thousand dollars payment, and sometimes it's only
• 43:54
  Speaker 16: an eight hundred dollars payment, but whatever the number is,
• 43:57
  Speaker 16: when you don't have to make a mortgage payment, it's
• 43:59
  Speaker 16: amazing how much money stays in your checkbook to be
• 44:02
  Speaker 16: able to live. There's a bunch of people that specifically
• 44:06
  Speaker 16: Todd draws Social Security early so they could make a
• 44:09
  Speaker 16: mortgage payment, which is a horrible mistake because now if
• 44:12
  Speaker 16: they waited, they'd get a bigger Social Security check. I'm
• 44:15
  Speaker 16: not saying that everybody should wait to draw SoC Security,
• 44:17
  Speaker 16: but if they're only drawing Social Security so they can
• 44:20
  Speaker 16: make a mortgage payment, it's really a mistake.
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: And again, right now, things may be fine. You know
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: you're in good health, you know things are going great,
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: but you never know when your health could take a
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: turn or something. You know, something could pop up that
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: you were not expecting, and then all of a sudden
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: you find yourself in the in a bit of a
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: financial larch.
• 44:39
  Speaker 16: Well, you know, my one of my favorite sayings is
• 44:41
  Speaker 16: the only thing certain about the future is that it's uncertain.
• 44:47
  Speaker 16: It's a it's well, it's it's certainly applies to all
• 44:50
  Speaker 16: of us, and it certainly applies to all of us.
• 44:55
  Speaker 6: We just don't know what's going to happen in retirement.
• 44:58
  Speaker 16: That's such a huge issue, such a big concern, because
• 45:02
  Speaker 16: if I have a mortgage payment and my wife and
• 45:05
  Speaker 16: I can do fine while I'm around and while I'm working,
• 45:07
  Speaker 16: or she's got my Social Security, what happens when my
• 45:09
  Speaker 16: Social Security is gone?
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: What happens when I'm not working?
• 45:12
  Speaker 16: And that's what people don't think about is that if
• 45:15
  Speaker 16: you've got a mortgage that you got fifteen years left
• 45:17
  Speaker 16: or twenty years left or twenty five years left, well,
• 45:20
  Speaker 16: it might be fine now, but what is it going
• 45:22
  Speaker 16: to be like in five years or ten years, or
• 45:24
  Speaker 16: what happens to somebody gets sick, somebody dies, things change
• 45:27
  Speaker 16: in the economy.
• 45:29
  Speaker 6: Getting rid of that mortgage payment.
• 45:30
  Speaker 16: Is absolutely critical to have a safer retirement.
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: With more options, you can still make payments if you wish.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: No.
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: Now, it's my understanding a lot of people don't realize
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: that the reverse mortgage is that they do allow for
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: optional payment, so you can make a payment if you
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: want to, but if something comes up, well you can
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: defer payment without any risk at all. Is that right?
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: Well, that's exactly correct.
• 45:55
  Speaker 16: If you miss a payment on a regular margage todd
• 45:58
  Speaker 16: that you're in trouble, you go into for miss two
• 46:00
  Speaker 16: or three payments and you know you're well on the
• 46:02
  Speaker 16: way to foreclosure. However, with a reverse mortgage, every month
• 46:06
  Speaker 16: you get a statement and you decide do I want
• 46:08
  Speaker 16: to send a mortgage payment or do I want to
• 46:11
  Speaker 16: put the money somewhere else, or do I want to
• 46:12
  Speaker 16: spend it on my kids or my grandkids or a
• 46:14
  Speaker 16: vacation or paying a plumbing bill, or whatever the situation is.
• 46:19
  Speaker 6: But if I.
• 46:19
  Speaker 16: Make payments and I want to get the money back,
• 46:22
  Speaker 16: I don't have to refinance.
• 46:24
  Speaker 6: I just ask for my money back.
• 46:25
  Speaker 16: So if I pay in ten thousand dollars worth of
• 46:27
  Speaker 16: payments and I want to get my money back, well
• 46:30
  Speaker 16: I can just easily get it back by just asking
• 46:32
  Speaker 16: for it, and it's back in my checking account. And
• 46:34
  Speaker 16: if I don't make payments, or if I do make payments,
• 46:38
  Speaker 16: that is available. If I don't make payments, it just
• 46:41
  Speaker 16: goes on my tab and is paid a year after
• 46:43
  Speaker 16: I'm dead, as you said, with no risk of losing
• 46:46
  Speaker 16: your home.
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: What about any tax deductions in any of this.
• 46:51
  Speaker 16: You know, That's what a lot of people don't realize
• 46:53
  Speaker 16: is interest is tax deductible. So is mortgage insurance that
• 46:58
  Speaker 16: is part of the loan because it's guaranteed federally and
• 47:03
  Speaker 16: something that Reagan put together way back in nineteen eighty eight.
• 47:06
  Speaker 16: And both of those things are deductible. So when I
• 47:08
  Speaker 16: do make payments, as long as I can itemize and
• 47:11
  Speaker 16: I make sure the balance is big enough, I'm able
• 47:14
  Speaker 16: to deduct that on my taxes, which can even help
• 47:17
  Speaker 16: with my withdrawals from my iras and when if I
• 47:20
  Speaker 16: pull the money back out in the future, that's tax free.
• 47:23
  Speaker 6: So from a tax situation.
• 47:25
  Speaker 16: Many people who don't need a reverse mortgage use this
• 47:27
  Speaker 16: to mitigate their taxes and at the same time use
• 47:31
  Speaker 16: their equity more wisely.
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: All right, So again let's give people the information. If
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: they do call in, what can they expect they call
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: five eight zero reverse? What happens when they pick up
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: that phone.
• 47:46
  Speaker 16: Yeah, And what we do is we set up an
• 47:48
  Speaker 16: appointment with them immediately to find out, not to sell
• 47:51
  Speaker 16: them something, but to go over their situation. Many people,
• 47:54
  Speaker 16: we say, it doesn't make sense for you to do this,
• 47:57
  Speaker 16: this is something you don't qualify for, or it's something
• 48:00
  Speaker 16: that doesn't fit with your plans.
• 48:02
  Speaker 6: But we go over with.
• 48:03
  Speaker 16: A lot of questions, should you do this, does this fit?
• 48:08
  Speaker 6: And after we've went through that, whether you decide.
• 48:11
  Speaker 16: To do it or not, we send you a free
• 48:13
  Speaker 16: book that you can read further, that you can investigate further.
• 48:16
  Speaker 16: But the key is is that no one should get
• 48:19
  Speaker 16: a reverse mortgage, or invest money anywhere, or take out
• 48:22
  Speaker 16: Social Security without some advice and understanding of what is
• 48:26
  Speaker 16: going on on the other part of their planning, and
• 48:30
  Speaker 16: we look at that planning altogether and it's free. Obviously,
• 48:34
  Speaker 16: we're looking to help our clients and change lives. Our
• 48:37
  Speaker 16: motto at Movements we exist to love and value people,
• 48:40
  Speaker 16: and we want to love and value you to go
• 48:42
  Speaker 16: through and say this is not about selling you a
• 48:45
  Speaker 16: reverse mortgage.
• 48:46
  Speaker 6: It's simply about saying, how would this fit with retirement?
• 48:49
  Speaker 6: Doesn't make sense?
• 48:50
  Speaker 16: This is something you should do or something you should
• 48:52
  Speaker 16: just stay away from. And that's the most valuable thing
• 48:55
  Speaker 16: because even if you don't do it, we usually give
• 48:57
  Speaker 16: you some good nuggets to think about on the other
• 48:59
  Speaker 16: side of things that are not related to reverse mortgages.
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: It's great advice. And again, folks, this is all about education,
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: getting prepared. Many of you may already be at that
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: point where you want to get more information and all
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: you have to do is pick up your phone and
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: call five eight zero Reverse. That's five eight zero Reverse,
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: Or you can go to movement dot com, slash starns.
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: That's movement dot com, slash starns, all sorts of great information.
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: You don't have to make a decision today. This is
• 49:29
  Speaker 5: all about starting the education process and you'll also be
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: able to get a copy of the great book, The
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: Cinderella of the Baby Boomer Retirement, Home Equity and Reverse Mortgages. Harlan,
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: have fun in Washington, DC, my friend.
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: I'll go drop your name everywhere and I bet you
• 49:44
  Speaker 6: that'll open some doors.
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: All right, all right, Harlan, all right, take care, safe
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: travels to you. Harlan Akila, ladies and gentlemen from Movement Mortgage.
• 49:53
  Speaker 5: He is the reverse mortgage director. All right, we've got
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: to take a quick break. Nine oh one two six
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: zero five nine two Sai. That's nine oh one two
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: six zero five nine two six. This is the Todd
• 50:04
  Speaker 5: Starns Show. All right, Well, this is interesting. I suppose Dylan,
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: when you go out to dinner with the missus, do
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: you do you guys dress up? Or is it all casual?
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: It definitely depends on where we're going.
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: Really, Yeah, So like if you're going to Applebee's, for example,
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: apple is that a coat and tie event?
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: Oh no, no, I wouldn't say so necessarily, unless you
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: know times are tough than Applebee's.
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: May be the uh oh, pardon me, I see, so
• 50:48
  Speaker 5: you're more like a Ruth Chris kind of a guy.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean We have some great places in Memphis,
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: so there's lots of places to dress up at. But
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: I don't think Applebee's counts as well.
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: Okay, but if you're going to, I mean so. But
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: otherwise it's sort of your casual right, your cash. As
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: the young people say this story out of Florida where
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: a steakhouse is making headlines because of their of their attire.
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: You know, a lot of a lot of restaurants now
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: are telling people, hey, you've got to wear it. Used
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: to be no shirt, no shoes, no service. Uh, and
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: then people started wearing like thongs or pajamas, you know,
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: just really inappropriate attire to some of these nice restaurants.
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: And so a lot of restaurants now have dress codes
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: where you have to wear pants, you've got to wear like,
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: you know, a collared shirt, no T shirts or ball
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: caps and stuff like that.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: That's like high end in my mind, Like if you're
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: gonna ask me to do that, the meal might be
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: more than you know.
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: What really because for me, I don't want to be
• 51:53
  Speaker 5: even if I'm at the Red Lobster, I don't know
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: if he's sitting next to some guy that's you know,
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: just smelling like marijuana.
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: No, I don't either. Should it be a rule that
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: they have enforced? I mean, I don't know. I would
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: want to spend a lot of money, but I wouldn't
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: want to look nice doing it and be forced to
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: look nice.
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: And some people are. And by the way, there is
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: a lot of restaurants have rules. If you smell like marijuana,
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: you're not coming in here, because it really does impact.
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: I mean, that'll take your appetitle.
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: That is a good rule. I mean that one is
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: a great rule.
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: The Class Soiree Steakhouse. Oh that's a fancy place, class Hollywood, Florida.
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: They welcome diners to disrobe and eat a meal in
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: the nude on the first Monday of every month.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: Oh god, I did not expect this.
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: While many guests wear clothes, they arrive wearing clothing. They're
• 52:49
  Speaker 5: free to drop their clothes after they arrive at the
• 52:52
  Speaker 5: restaurant to Shiba Hart host the monthly events, telling Fox
• 52:58
  Speaker 5: News that she and by the way, she did an
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: interview with the chef and they were clothed for the interview.
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: Its feel like that's important to share. She noted that
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: she and she actually takes her clothes off as well.
• 53:13
  Speaker 5: The servers and the chefs are fully clothed. The chef
• 53:17
  Speaker 5: explained that every other every other day at the steakhouse,
• 53:23
  Speaker 5: you have to actually wear your clothing. But apparently she
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: rents out the restaurant and does quite well, and apparently
• 53:30
  Speaker 5: a lot of people want to show up and eat
• 53:33
  Speaker 5: their meal butt naked. The tickets cost for about one
• 53:37
  Speaker 5: hundred and fifty dollars for an individual woman, but two
• 53:40
  Speaker 5: hundred and fifty dollars for a man, or three hundred
• 53:44
  Speaker 5: dollars for two people attending the event together. She described
• 53:49
  Speaker 5: the event as a fine dining experience. Really, you see,
• 53:52
  Speaker 5: when I think of fine dining, I don't think of
• 53:55
  Speaker 5: butt naked. And here's what gets me. You're sitting there.
• 53:59
  Speaker 5: Let's just say that's on a Monday, but on a Tuesday,
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: you you show up and you don't know. Are they
• 54:06
  Speaker 5: telling you that, like naked, bare naked butt cheeks were
• 54:10
  Speaker 5: on the chair that you're sitting on. That's what I
• 54:13
  Speaker 5: would have an issue with.
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, at least that that's that's my That's only
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: one concern. I have several other concerns.
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: Too, are they well, there are many concerns being served.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: Is there something that you know, it's not gonna sit
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: right in your stomach. You see, that's a concern if
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: you don't have any clothes on to block any of that,
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: Like it's just out there in the wild. See you
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, This wouldn't work at a Mexican restaurant.
• 54:43
  Speaker 5: Well, no, I don't think it would work at a
• 54:46
  Speaker 5: Mexican restaurant.
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: That Waco Bell Taco Bell would be terrible.
• 54:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that would leave stains, I'm afraid. Yeah, uh yeah.
• 54:53
  Speaker 5: So they're defending all of this. I guess some people
• 54:56
  Speaker 5: are not too keen on, you know, undressing for dinner.
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: But the Class Soiree Steakhouse says that they're getting a
• 55:05
  Speaker 5: lot of buzz. I bet they are. And I'm wondering
• 55:09
  Speaker 5: exactly how many people are are showing up butt naked
• 55:13
  Speaker 5: at the restaurant. That's what I want to know, and
• 55:16
  Speaker 5: I want to see exactly who. And then again it's
• 55:19
  Speaker 5: also the customers. I mean, do you really want to
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: be eating next to, say, you know, a four hundred
• 55:23
  Speaker 5: pound man, you know who's got the flabs of fat
• 55:28
  Speaker 5: that are layered that sort of look like a lava cake.
• 55:31
  Speaker 5: I mean, do you would you want to be eating
• 55:33
  Speaker 5: across from that. It seems to me you'd want to
• 55:36
  Speaker 5: order a salad just to be on the safe side.
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't say I would want to sit next
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: to that. I actually want to put on more clothes
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: after I eat because I feel fatter or more bloated.
• 55:47
  Speaker 5: Well that's a pure point.
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 55:48
  Speaker 5: On the other hand, I do see you know you're
• 55:50
  Speaker 5: wearing an ice you know, Brooks breather shirt or something,
• 55:52
  Speaker 5: and you don't want to spill steak sauce on it.
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair, So just take it all off.
• 55:57
  Speaker 5: Take it all off. Do they provide napkins? That's what
• 56:02
  Speaker 5: I want to know. Would you eat ladies and gentlemen
• 56:05
  Speaker 5: at a puck naked steakhouse? Could you imagine cracker barrel?
• 56:09
  Speaker 5: And that oh gosh, nine oh one two six zero
• 56:13
  Speaker 5: five nine two six, that's our telephone number. Will be
• 56:16
  Speaker 5: right back.
• 56:37
  Speaker 7: When I wake up in the morn.
• 56:38
  Speaker 17: And I love this song and the sunlight hurts my
• 56:44
  Speaker 17: bill withers.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: The something without.
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: Bond and.
• 56:50
  Speaker 17: There's no warning bed heavy man or something is very
• 56:55
  Speaker 17: heavy and a right, okay, just one look, just one look, baby,
• 57:09
  Speaker 17: and I know what's going to be.
• 57:11
  Speaker 5: What's it gonna be? Love, love, love, love legend. Oh lovely.
• 57:31
  Speaker 5: I feel so relaxed now, Thank you Dylan. All right,

• 58:00
  Speaker 5: really do. And I'm a big I love Bill Wethers.
• 58:02
  Speaker 5: I'm a big fan of the seventies, you know, that
• 58:05
  Speaker 5: whole era, but also Southern rock.
• 58:08
  Speaker 16: You know.
• 58:08
  Speaker 5: So I'm sort of all over the place with music.
• 58:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I've spent the better part of my adult life
• 58:14
  Speaker 7: trying to get that disco beat out of my head.
• 58:16
  Speaker 7: So let's not bring it back.
• 58:17
  Speaker 14: You know.
• 58:18
  Speaker 5: So we had well, we had Angie and Wong on
• 58:20
  Speaker 5: yesterday and Delan Filfrid it is over there. But Angie
• 58:23
  Speaker 5: Wong used to produce music videos at MTV, which was
• 58:27
  Speaker 5: like the we That's all we ended up talking about was,
• 58:30
  Speaker 5: you know, producing those and when then we started talking
• 58:33
  Speaker 5: about how gen Z they're going back to the record
• 58:36
  Speaker 5: store and Joe, I have to imagine back in the day,
• 58:38
  Speaker 5: you know, were you going down to the local record
• 58:40
  Speaker 5: store to get your your vinyls?
• 58:43
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, you know, I was thinking about that. I
• 58:45
  Speaker 7: grew up in the North end of Boston and there
• 58:47
  Speaker 7: was this little record store that had the forty fives
• 58:50
  Speaker 7: and you would go in and you would put them.
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: Remember the little thing in the middle. You had to
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: make sure you had a little middle thing on.
• 58:55
  Speaker 7: Oh that's right, yeah, and you'd play the forty fives
• 58:58
  Speaker 7: and you had this big humor his headset at the
• 59:01
  Speaker 7: time that you had to put on. And yeah, that's
• 59:03
  Speaker 7: how we used to buy them. And I never really
• 59:05
  Speaker 7: knew it was on the B side. Didn't really care.
• 59:08
  Speaker 16: No.
• 59:09
  Speaker 5: Remember, you had the like the and some of the
• 59:10
  Speaker 5: bigger stories. You had the little closets that you could
• 59:13
  Speaker 5: go in and you could you know, there were the
• 59:15
  Speaker 5: listening closets. Yep, that's back in the day. Oh my
• 59:20
  Speaker 5: oh god. But you but you know where my walker is.
• 59:23
  Speaker 7: I mean, God bless.
• 59:27
  Speaker 5: But you know, it's really funny because you know, when
• 59:29
  Speaker 5: you go into like, I don't want to say an
• 59:31
  Speaker 5: old folks home, but when you go into the old
• 59:33
  Speaker 5: folks home nowadays, I was thinking, we're going to start
• 59:37
  Speaker 5: hearing that music from like the sixties and the seventies.
• 59:40
  Speaker 5: But apparently, you know, when you moved to the old
• 59:42
  Speaker 5: folks home, you're only allowed to play music from like
• 59:45
  Speaker 5: the big band era.
• 59:47
  Speaker 7: I was excused, you have them in shopping lately. I
• 59:50
  Speaker 7: was in the supermarket the other day, found myself humming
• 59:53
  Speaker 7: the tune that was on the air, you know, over
• 59:56
  Speaker 7: my head, and think of, Holy Jesus, if I gotten old.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 5: I'm wondering though, because we were talking about this with Angie.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 5: We were talking about best album covers of all time
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 5: and because that was like a big thing, you know,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 5: you were I mean, that's your first, you know, the
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 5: first look at music, before you even listening.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 6: To the music.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 5: You're looking at the you know, the album cover. And
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 5: I remember who wasn't Ben Deeter, No, not Ben Deeter.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 5: It was somebody asked saw an album cover and said,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 5: oh who is that? And they thought it was like
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 5: Jesus and the Disciples. But it was like the Beg's
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 5: or something, you know, the Disciples didn't have feathered hair
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 5: to my knowledge.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 7: Oh wow, that's great now, uh, Abbey Road when you
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 7: say that, the only album cover that really hits me
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 7: squaring ahead is the Abbey Road album from the Beatles.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 5: I mean everybody, Oh well, yeah, you know, everybody tries
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 5: to re enact, you know, those covers. So I think,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 5: I know Billboard and I think Rolling Stone have actually
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 5: gone through and they've like labeled Okay, these are the
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 5: the best one hundred album covers of all time from
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 5: you know, Nirvana, Neil Young and of course Elvis back
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 5: in back in the day. I just missed the art form,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 5: you know, the whole digital music thing. Guys. It just
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 5: I don't know, it just it doesn't work.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 7: For me me neither.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 12: You know.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 7: Interesting again, think of all the art that went behind that.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 7: And on top of all of that, you're calling it
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 7: an album. Did they even call them albums anymore? You
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 7: don't have a CD with one hundred and seven songs?
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 6: What does that call it a collection?
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know, No, it's I mean, look,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 5: it's a great point. And of course, were you back
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 5: in the day when there were eight eight tracks? Did
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 5: not were not around that long until the cassettes came out.
• 1:01:50

• 1:01:52
  Speaker 7: do you I had a teck, I had an a
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 7: track in my car. I was actually thinking about going
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 7: to school because all things keep coming back. I may
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 7: become an eight track repair man.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, we could have used your help. Back
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 5: to the day. My mother was a huge, huge Kenny
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 5: Rogers fan, and she bought the Oh what was it?
• 1:02:13

• 1:05:12
  Speaker 18: zero of fifteen, zero of fifteen with the lowest share
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 18: of college degrees. Ergo, he did not win in those
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 18: working class areas where he did win. He won thirteen
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 18: of the fifteen counties with the highest share of college degrees.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 18: So you're thinking about Democrats having real trouble amongst the
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 18: working class. Elsaid support came dramatically from those areas. In fact,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 18: not where there is working class folks, but where there
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 18: are highly educated folks, more from elite circles than from
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 18: the working class circles. And I think there's real worries
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 18: among Democrats. Well, will that transfer over to the general election?
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 18: And Elsay I continue to have the problems that prior
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 18: Democrats have had with the working class.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 19: Do you think that's not the only worry the Democrats
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 19: should have here?
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 18: No, it's not the only worry, because I mean the polling.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 18: The polling estimated el Saya's primary margin by about ten points.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 18: And I think, is there a real question will that
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 18: happen in the general election again? Because the general election
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 18: polling is quite tight, and what we know in Michigan
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 18: is the candidate of the college degree, it's tend to
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 18: be overestimated. Well, that happened with else I ed maybe,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 18: but I think it's just another worry and why this
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 18: race is closed dramatically and the folks who are trying
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 18: to handicap it.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 5: So again, Joe, looks like the big numbers actually came
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 5: out for al Sai ed from the university towns and
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 5: these woke socialist lib tards as opposed to you know,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 5: working class folks and especially African American voters. They're in Michigan.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 5: What do you make of all of that?
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 6: I education, bad education, let's put that.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 7: Let's start off there. But when you talked about the
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 7: suburbs of well educated people out there, the Democrats that
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 7: are well educated seem to vote Democrat no matter what.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 7: It makes absolutely no sense to me that it can't
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 7: sit back and look at the pros and cons of
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 7: both candidates, not just one. And that's number one, and
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 7: you know number ten. When you got James Carvell threatening
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 7: to jump ship, you know you're in a you know
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 7: you're in a really bad place to begin with.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: And else.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 7: I yet he really didn't look at look at how
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 7: many votes he actually won by look at truly how
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 7: the numbers, how the numbers came in. I'm very skeptical
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 7: these days when I see the way things happen at
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 7: the polling boots, you know, the early, the early numbers
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 7: he was very much behind, not ahead.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 5: Well, again, I wouldn't put it past anybody that there
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 5: was some shenanigans going on up there. But the reality is,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 5: you know, it is a it's a largely Democrat state.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 5: You've got a large Muslim population, and Congresswoman Haley Stevens
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 5: just her message just did not resonate with some of
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 5: those folks. And again, if you've got a Muslim population,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 5: they're voting for the Muslim guy. Mean, we've seen that
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 5: play out, you know, election after election cycle.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 7: But Todd didn't bother you. Look when he was given speeches,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 7: what flag was behind him? He had the Palestinian flag
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 7: behind him every place he went.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: So I'm saying it always.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 7: I mean fifteen years ago, twenty years ago, that wouldn't
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 7: have been somebody would have sat him down to the roomson,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 7: I don't care what you think. Would you dare put
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 7: that flag up? You have an American flag behind you
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 7: and a discussion. But they're doing it in our faces now.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 7: And the sad part is there's a majority of people
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 7: that are buying it that are discounting that flag back there,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 7: discounting what they say. That's scary to me.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 5: Joe Messina, host of The Joe Messina Show. At Joe
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 5: Messina dot com. Joe, what you got? What you guys
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 5: going to be talking about later tonight?
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 7: Oh, Brad Dakas is coming on to talk about a
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 7: woman that could possibly be going to jail for three
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 7: years here in California because she tried to protect her
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 7: son from being transitioned by the school to the point
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 7: where she actually took the kid out of the state
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 7: so they wouldn't subject them to the drug really.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, bad bad news.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 5: Oh okay, Well, that's coming up tonight on The Joe
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 5: Messina Show. And again, if you like informational on airtimes,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 5: go to Joe Messina dot com. Joe, before we let
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 5: you go, I want to bring in a caller. This
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 5: is Steve from Little Rock, Arkansas. Now, Joe, before you
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 5: joined us, we were talking about this high end steakhouse
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 5: in Hollywood, Florida that has a naked naked steak Nite
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 5: where you can, you know, shed your clothes and eat
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 5: a porterhouse. Let's go to Steve and Little Rock, Arkansas.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 5: All right, Steve, what say you about that.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 14: I might consider a high end restaurant. I mean, you'd
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 14: be sitting down and kind of under the table and
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 14: have your napkins to kind of put in strategic places.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 14: But there's no way I'd go do it in a
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 14: buff eight. There's no there's no telling what somebody might
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 14: drag to you.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 7: Food trees up there, don't even I don't even know
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 7: where to goes matter of fact, you telling that story.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 7: So I kept looking at my seat because I know
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 7: there's other people that sit there. Sometimes I want to
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 7: make was clean. I can't imagine it. I can't imagine, but.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 14: New definition on a sneeze.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 5: Guard, Steve, this is the fair point.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 12: You know.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 5: Dylan pointed out something that you know, if this you
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 5: really don't want to do this at a Mexican restaurant
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 5: or a taco bell because and especially if they're plastic seats,
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 5: you know, or there's plastic covering over the seats.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the flatulence could get out of hand there a
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 7: I gotta say, I love coming on with you, but
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 7: this show has gone to the dogs.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we're having a weird day today, man, weird day
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 5: all right, Steve, thank you for that visual. We appreciate it. Yeah,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 5: you don't want to be buck naked at the bonanza
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 5: or the the or the Ryan's Buffet. That's the wrong crowd.
• 1:10:56

• 1:12:00
  Speaker 5: welcome back, This is the Todd Searns Radio Show. I
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 5: want to play some more audio. President Trump now declining
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 5: to say if he's going to support John Thune as
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 5: Senate majority leader cut number thirty seven plays.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 10: Do you want Thoon to serve another term as leader?
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 10: Do you think would you support him?
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 6: Well?
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 4: I don't want to get into that necessarily.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 10: But why a lot of people are thinking about it.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 10: This is a big issue.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 4: I get along with him. It's unfortunate that he doesn't
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 4: have the vote.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 10: Do you actually get along with him? I do, but
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 10: you clearly, I mean, you have big disagreements.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 9: I do.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 4: I do have disagreements. I believe strongly in terminating the
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 4: filibuster and by the way, getting Save America Act approved immediately,
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 4: and about four hundred other things in every hour of
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 4: every day. Boom boom boom, you get whatever you want.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 10: You'd get Democrats who do it too, though, right they
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 10: get well.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 4: They're going to do that. I still they're going to
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 4: do that if they get in. They're going to do
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 4: it very quickly. I mean, you're wrong on that one.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 10: We'll see they're going to do that so fast.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 4: And I say, as long as we all know that
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 4: they're going to do it, I'm so shocked to hear you.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 4: But as long as I know that they're going to
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 4: do that, you do. I would do it. Whether they
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 4: did it or not. I would we would get in
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 4: the next two and a half years. We would get
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 4: things that nobody ever dreamt of. We would be be
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 4: in office for the next hundred years. And I'll tell
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 4: you what, if they get in, I may be the
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 4: last Republican president.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 5: That is a it's a sobering message of the President
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 5: delivers there. But clearly John Thune has really really hurt
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 5: the President's agenda, no doubt about that.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 6: Oh.

• 1:16:04
  Speaker 5: of course a massive, a huge sports fan, and it's
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 5: not a much of a surprise that he wanted to

  Speaker 12: Yes, Sarah, thank you.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 5: Okay, this is going to be a huge, huge thing
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 5: for you. I want you to first of all, tell
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 5: us a little bit about yourself and what kind of
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 5: sports you play in high school.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 12: Yes, Sarah, so go attend Lisburg High School. I'm a senior.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 12: A couple of things about me morally, I'm a big Christian.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 12: God has blessed me with an amazing life, and so
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 12: to have this opportunity to go represent my state, it
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 12: really is amazing. I'm truly blessed to be picked. And
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 12: some of the some of the sports I play right now,
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 12: I'm a cross country athlete, and I also do track
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 12: and field, but I've played basketball and soccer for Louisbourg
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 12: as well in the past.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 5: So Louisbourg high school student. All right, very cool. So
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 5: I hope do they give you like a special like
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 5: parking space? Now are they giving you? Are treating you special?
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 12: You know? They we do a thing called Patriot Vision
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 12: every every morning you're a Patriot time. And they interviewed
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 12: me yesterday and I think it's going to air tomorrow.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 12: So I think that's my fifteen minutes of fame right there.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 5: I think I love it.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 12: If I win, maybe they'll maybe they'll hang a banner
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 12: of me, hopefully maybe a portrait of me, you know,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 12: a statue. I'm not asking for too much.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 5: Name something after you? Yeah right, I mean it's not
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 5: every day you know that you get to go participate
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 5: in the Patriot Games. How did all of this happen?
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 12: So it was really really simple. I was we were
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 12: on vacation at early July, and I was scrolling on
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 12: my phone and I came across them advertising this saying
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 12: applications are still open if you want to apply, and
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 12: the deadline was either the next day or the day
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 12: after that, and so I figured might as well throw
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 12: my hat in the ring. I was, it's worth the shot,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 12: can't hurt, and I applied through the first round, just
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 12: some basic information, and then I submitted a video myself
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 12: talking about why I wanted to do it, and then
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 12: a couple of days later they emailed me back and
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 12: they said you're on the round two. And then from
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 12: there that one was a more lengthy application, more in detail,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 12: in depth stuff, and then a couple of weeks after
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 12: that they got the good news that I was in.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 5: So we're all very curious about what what exactly you're
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 5: going to be doing because it's not very clear. And
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 5: many of us here on the staff were thinking Hunger Games,
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 5: you know, is there a tribute involved? What exactly is
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 5: going to be happening in Ohio?
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 12: Well, any anytime someone's asked me about I always say, well,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 12: imagine the Hunger Games. I was like, but I'm not
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 12: going there to kill anybody as far as as far
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 12: as I know, so far, that's good.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 12: I don't have to learn how to use a bow
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 12: and arrow. But so far, all they've told us it's
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 12: an athletic competition. Obviously, the only games they have mentioned
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 12: so far as one hundred meters dash, but the competitions
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 12: range from military obstacle courses to fitness tests to sports
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 12: such as basketball, football, soccer, tennis, track, just stuff like that,
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 12: a varsity sports circle that you would see. But so far,
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 12: one hundred meter dash is the only thing they revealed it.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 12: So they've kept it, kept a lot of it on
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 12: the down low. They're gonna they're gonna surprise this when
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 12: we get there.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 5: This is this is fashioning. Are you doing? Tell me
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 5: about your training regiment?
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 5: What is that involved?
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 12: So Lucky for me, I work out and I try
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 12: to stay in good shape year round, so I didn't
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 12: have to go from zero to one hundred. I tried
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 12: to sit around ninety, so I just had to bump
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 12: it up a little bit. And lucky for me cross
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 12: country since the season so early. We have summer practice
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 12: and so I've been running all summer. Get putting that
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 12: work in, and I so just running. Lifting weights. My
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 12: dad got me into weightlifting and I've done it for
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 12: about four years now. So just lift and weights running.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 12: I'm trying to do some more body weight stuff because
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 12: I feel like that'll be more beneficial to the type
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 12: just more suited to the type of stuff I'm gonna
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 12: have to do there. And then that's that's pretty much it.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 12: There's nothing nothing special with the train and just lifting
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 12: and running.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 5: You see, I was hoping, and really I was training
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 5: in advance. Like you kind of figured something was happening.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 5: You started your training and I did the same thing.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 5: I was hoping the President was going to have an
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 5: America two fifty barbecue eating competition, and that did not happen.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 12: You're well prepared for that one that you're you're already.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 5: Now I got to hit the gym, so dog on it.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 5: It is what it is. This is this has really
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 5: got to be a lot of fun, and you know,
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 5: there is this patriotic part of it, and it's really
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 5: exciting to see people your age, especially embracing America. And
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 5: I think you guys, your generation seems to be really embracing,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 5: you know, our traditional American values.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 12: Yes, I love this country. I strongly believe, and I
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 12: tell people this America, this is the greatest country in
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 12: the world, ever since it was made in seventeen seventy
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 12: six when we declared independence. And so to go on
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 12: a national stage and show people, especially this generation that
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 12: this upcom generation, we still love America, we still value it.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 12: This is still the greatest country in the world, and
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 12: it is in good hands. And the morals that the
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 12: men who built this country had of of hard work, competition, determination, faith,
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 12: those still very much exist today. And so I want
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 12: to show that people like that, kids like me or
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 12: we still have that. And so to show down national stage,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 12: it'll be a great opportunity.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 5: I love this, This is great. Where do you get
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 5: these values from.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 12: Well, my parents have instilled a lot of a lot
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 12: of these values. I mean my dad he's a he's
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 12: a patriot right along with me. So, but just just
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 12: from seeing the country, I mean, how can you not
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 12: love America. I mean everything it has to offer. I
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 12: mean it's so amazing. I mean, this really is the
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 12: land of opportunity, and so to see that and what
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 12: my parents have been stilled in me for seventeen years,
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 12: that's that's where I get my values from.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 5: So I don't know if you know this, but there's
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 5: there's some money prize money, oh at stake or what
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 5: a quarter million dollars scholarship.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 12: That that'll be a nice, nice chunk in the pocket.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 12: If I can come away with that, that it would
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 12: be quite nice.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 5: That's gonna be really nice. So one male champion, one
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 5: female champion, and again two people selected. What from every state?

• 1:24:21
  Speaker 5: tell you they don't make up like that anymore. Welcome
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 5: back to the Todd Stearns Radio Show on this open
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 5: Line Friday, Spinning the tunes today with DJ Dillon. If
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 5: you got a song you want to hear, give us
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 5: a called nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 5: two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 5: nine two six. So excited about this kid, Jackson Cressman,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 5: who is going to be representing us. And what a
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 5: patriotic young man. I mean, this kid, by the way,
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 5: he sat here. His dad's a principal at a high
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 5: school there in DeSoto County, Mississippi. And uh, just clearly
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 5: they raise their kids right, and I think you know,
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 5: but that ultimately comes back to the problems we're facing
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 5: in America. Is that so many moms and dads are
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 5: just not taking the time to raise their kids, to
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 5: teach them about America, to teach them about right and wrong,
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 5: to teach them about why we are the greatest nation
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 5: on the on the planet. We're not doing any of that,
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 5: and that's one of the reasons why I think the
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 5: country is in the shape it's in. Nine oh one
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 5: two six zero five nine two six is our telephone number.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 5: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 5: I just got the weirdest phone call. I've got to
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 5: share this with you. So we have a guy who
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 5: was running for sheriff here in the Memphis area and
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 5: just he's I mean, when you see this guy's name
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 5: is brad Less. He's been with the sheriff's department for
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 5: thirty one years. And the guy is like you know
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 5: how some people, Dylan. You can see him walking and
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 5: you're like, that guy's with law enforcement.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You can feel the present, you.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 5: Feel it, right, I mean, it's the the gravelly voice,
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 5: you know, and you know, uh, I'm coming for you,
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 5: you criminal. Uh, It's that's that's the kind of a guy.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 5: So you feel and you automatically feel safe around the guy. Right,
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 5: it's just like oh wow, okay. So his name is
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 5: Brad Less and he's was the Republican nominee and he
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 5: got beat last night. The Democrats, uh really crushed Republicans
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 5: across the board in the Memphis area. Now it's it's
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 5: it's it's sad. It's sad because this guy is the
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 5: real deal, uh, the the Democrat. His name is Anthony Buckner.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 5: And by the way, there, you're gonna love this. There
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 5: there's a photo circulating now and they're they're touting the
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 5: fact that all the brothers won and the brothers being
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 5: the black dude. So all the black dudes won in
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 5: Memphis and they're touting that fact and they're celebrating it.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 5: So Brad just called me. I got a text me
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 5: shea just call me. This is urgent, and so I called.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 5: I just called him and he said that the Sheriff's
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 5: department again, he's been a deputy sheriff for thirty one years.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 5: And he called me and said they're retaliating against me.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 5: I said, what do you mean? He says, last night
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 5: at ten o'clock he got a call that he was
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 5: being transferred to some office somewhere they're taking away his
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 5: squad car or whatever vehicle they have, you know, with
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 5: the shares department, and they said they're coming to pick
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 5: it up. And so anyway, the I told him, I said,
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 5: you need to call an attorney right now because you
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 5: are you're being targeted. He says, I know I'm being targeted.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 5: This is unbelievable. And by the way, this is why,
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 5: and this kind of stuff is why people don't like
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 5: to talk about politics, you know, they don't. They'd rather
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 5: keep it all to themselves. And this is why you
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 5: don't have the best of the best running for office,
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 5: because they don't want to go through what poor Bradley les.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 5: This guy, this decent man, is about to go through it,
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 5: and that's just unacceptable. So I really hope that if
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 5: you are listening in the Memphis area you support this guy.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 5: That's just unacceptable that somebody is Can you believe that
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 5: got a call last night? Uh yeah, we're transferring you
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 5: thirty one years the guy's put in. That's just unacceptable,
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 5: in my book, unacceptable. Nine oh one two six zero five,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 5: nine two six. Our telephone number, that's nine oh one
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 5: two six zero five to nine two six. I tell
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 5: you it's you know, it's politics is ugly business, it
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 5: really is, and I hate it. I just absolutely hate it.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 5: But this is where we are right now in the country,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 5: and it's it's a bad place for all of us
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 5: to be. The more the more I live my life,
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 5: the more I'm convinced we need more than two parties.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 5: We need more than two viable parties, because this is
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 5: not going to be sustainable. David Hogg remember him, a
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 5: little hog, a little piglet, former DNC vice chair, and
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 5: he's got a word for all of you. Well, he
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 5: calls them moderates in the Democrat Party. I'm curious to know.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 5: And if I'd have been doing the interview, I would
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 5: have asked, what exactly do you consider to be a moderate?
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 5: A cut thirty five police.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 19: There's been an argument that they need to moderate, or
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 19: concern over what that's going to look like should they succeed,
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 19: or that they may not succeed, that they might be
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 19: defeated by Republicans despite them not doing well in the
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 19: polling either. What would you say to the moderates in
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 19: your party who feel that way?
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 20: I would to the moderates our party, you need to
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 20: figure out how to actually offer something new to voters
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 20: that isn't just the same message that you gave them.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 6: In twenty twenty four.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 20: Increasingly, the reason why the establishment of our party is
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 20: being defeated over and over and over again is because
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 20: you don't have the right values that are aligned with
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 20: not the Democratic base, but the American people, where people
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 20: are sick and tired of listening to Democrats who tell
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 20: them all the reasons why they can't solve their problems.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 20: If you can't solve our problems, you shouldn't be running
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 20: for office. We need people who actually sound, at a
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 20: minimum and genuinely believe what they are saying.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 5: So he's saying, okay, yeah, there's no room for all
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 5: you moderates in the Democrat Party, which I think means
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 5: liberals or if you support the nation of Israel, there's
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 5: no more room for you in the Democrat Party now.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 5: Mike Rogers, who's running for the Senate in Michigan, put
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 5: out a statement yesterday and he said, hey, look, I
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 5: want to talk to all you disenfranchised Democrats out there
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 5: that are not because a lot of Democrats are saying
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 5: there's no way they're voting for this abdual lsied guy
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 5: cut number thirty six.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 3: If you're among the majority of Democratic voters that woke
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 3: up on Wednesday feeling well hopeless because the person who
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 3: won does not represent your values, well just know there
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 3: is still hope. Michigan deserves a senator who is ready
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 3: to sit with you, hear from you, and represent you.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 3: The parents across Michigan who want an education system that
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 3: sets up their kids for success, you have a home
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 3: with us. To grandparents across Michigan who are heartbroken from
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 3: watching their kids and grandkids leave the state. You have
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 3: a home with us. To young people who are looking
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 3: for real solutions to solve our housing affordability crisis.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 6: You have a home with us.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 3: To working families who don't want higher taxes and lower paychecks,
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 3: well you have a home with us. And to the
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 3: vast majority of people across Michigan who do not want
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 3: to throw their support behind a campaign filled with anger, divisiveness,
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 3: calls for violence, and the views that are out of
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 3: touch with your values, well you have a home with us.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 3: The fight is far greater and just left versus right.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 3: The fight is for the very soul of our nation.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 3: Over the next ninety days, I'm going to work hard
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 3: to earn your trust, to earn your support, and earn
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 3: your vote. We have a state to save Michigan. Let's
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 3: get to work.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean, it's a good message. And I hope
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 5: I hope that right thinking Democrats are going to see
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 5: and understand what's at stake here. And the Democrats, I
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 5: think privately, there have been some reports and I heard
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 5: some rumblings Democrats privately are freaking out over the rise
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 5: of people like the Obdual l Sids and the Chasmin
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 5: Crocketts and the Justin Pearson's and the AOC's. It's it's
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 5: a bad, bad situation, but it's going to be an

  Speaker 5: Want to go right away to the Patriot Weble news
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 5: maker line a good friend of this program for many
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 5: many years. Great lawmaker and just a fine human being.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 5: Congressman Ralph Norman from South Carolina. Congressman, good to have
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 5: you with us today.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 21: Great to be with you, Todd. Appreciate your show.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 5: Well, congressmen. We're going to get to the Senate race
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 5: in just a minute. But there's a lot happening up
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 5: on Capitol Hill. President very frustrated. He says that Republican
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 5: voters are really more angry with Congress than they are
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 5: with him. I would say that they're probably more angry
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 5: at the Senate. But what say you you're there, what
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 5: do you see.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 21: What says the Senate? I mean, nothing has changed with
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 21: President Trump's policies. They're good. I mean, look at the
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 21: America First Agenda, look at the Save Save America Act.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 21: I mean it's just they won't do. The Senate is
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 21: where good bills go. To the grave, and people sick
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 21: of it. I mean, when I saw the report that
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 21: John Solomon put out yesterday that they are two senators,
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 21: senators not letting the testimony of John Brennan out to
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 21: the public, Tom Cotton and John Thune.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 19: That's a sellout.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 21: You don't do that, I mean of the one do
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 21: they hold that all be blasted all over the airs.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 21: John Solomon is a solid, great reporter, investigative report to that.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 21: But no, the people are frustrated with a couple of
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 21: things what the Senate is not doing, particularly on ver
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 21: and find that you're an American citizen to vote. They're
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 21: frustrated about high prices, affordability, and they're frustrated with the
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 21: war as they think has gone on too long. That's
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 21: what I'm here.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 5: It's uh, you know, we just had elections in Tennessee
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 5: yesterday Tuesday, in Michigan and a number of other states,
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 5: and I think a lot of people are getting very
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 5: alarmed at the depressed Republican vote turnout. Not so much
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 5: you know, at the you know, the congressional level, but
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 5: a lot of the local county commissions and things of
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 5: that nuture. We're starting to see Democrats winning where Democrats
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 5: typically would not win. What do you think is going
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 5: on here? What's happening across the nation.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 21: Well, the Republicans are not acting like republic because that's
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 21: I mean, that's one thing. Milk toast Republicans who say
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 21: they campaign on being a vigorous anti government, anti regulations,
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 21: of anti tax and then really they morph into a
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 21: big spender and go along to get along.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 13: That's not going to work.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 21: Now, that's some of it. The other part are people
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 21: frustrated think their vote doesn't matter. And so in South Carolina,
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 21: we had less than twenty percent of the rested voters
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 21: turn out on a governor's race, which is really important.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 21: You know, we got three point two million rested voters.
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 21: We had four hundred and seventy seven thousand people vote
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 21: in the Republican primary for governor, then went on the
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 21: runoff only had it dropped one hundred and fifty thousand
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 21: in the race for Senate to replace a person for
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 21: six years that's going to have a voice, one of
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 21: two voices in South Carolina. You know, I don't know
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 21: what we'll have. I'm hoping and praying that the people
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 21: will come out and because take this seriously, we're losing
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 21: our country. And I say that because you know, not
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 21: doing anything is a choice, but it doesn't have to
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 21: be the choice. And get out there, let your voice
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 21: be hurt, and vote. And I asked that on the
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 21: stage on two debates, any of the candidate's running against
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 21: me for the Republican nomination for Senate is better than
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 21: the best Democrat. They're socialists. Now, Now, if we're gonna
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 21: be content to lose America, then just stay at home
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 21: and complain. I'm tired of it myself. I'm gonna watch
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 21: this vote next Tuesday, because we ought to have four
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 21: hundred thousand people vote, and we'll see what happens. But
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 21: if not now when I mean, sure people are frustrated,
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 21: but by taking your toys and going home and saying
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 21: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna take part in what's
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 21: our duty then and I mean, I understand what the
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 21: complaining about, but do something about it. I mean, I'm
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 21: doing my part. And the Cannons that put the name
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 21: on the line, that put their time, their tithe and
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 21: their talent to serve the public is what's needed now
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 21: more than ever.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 5: No, a congressman, I think you're you're onto something there.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 5: And at the end of the day, it is up
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 5: to you as an individual American citizen to get out
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 5: and vote and take part in the in the political process.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 5: And if you don't, well you get what you vote for.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 5: In many of those cases.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 21: Well, Todd, you don't cure cancer with an aspirin. I
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 21: mean you can't. The cancer in this country is you know,
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 21: the overspending and letting people gain power through political offices
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 21: and not taking part. I mean, we have such an
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 21: opportunity and freedom if once it is lost, is lost.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 21: It's kind of like your health. You can you can,
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 21: you can violate every health uh every health thing to
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 21: do to stay healthy, but you can violate it. When
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 21: you lose it, You've lost it. And that's what I'm
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 21: worried about. That's why what I'm I'm you know why
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 21: I'm doing what I'm doing. It's time, I mean, it's
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 21: time to get active, let your voice be heard, and
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 21: to be silent. No, it's just you know, the fifty
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 21: sixth Sinners, the Declaration of Independence, they weren't silent, and
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 21: they put their their life at risk, they put the
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 21: property up. A lot of them lost family members, they fought.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 21: I don't see the fight now. And if we don't,
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 21: if if we just want to sit back and complain,
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 21: well we're going to suffer the consequences. And I just
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 21: hate to see that happen. And we can we can
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 21: change it now if we will, but time will tell
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 21: if we will. I mean to have a Mandami in
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 21: New York City, which was a great city at one time,
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 21: is a tragedy. To have California great state under Reagan,
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 21: to have it assess po drugs and crimes, it's a tragedy.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 21: Virginia's gonna turn the same way Todd I service van Burger.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 21: She's a she's a leftist socialist and that's just what
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 21: they believe. They're a godless, uh you know sect that
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 21: is in in this country. In Sharia law. Keith South
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 21: is doing a good job of Santa anti Sharia law.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 21: All that to say is their people are gonna take it.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 21: But it's not the kind of people we ought to
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 21: have in elected office and in taking positions of power.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 5: Congressman Ralph Norman joining us on the Patriot Mobile. Newsmaker
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 5: line Ralph Norman for Senate dot Com is the campaign
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 5: website that's Ralph Norman for Senate dot Com. You know,
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 5: when you look at the lineup here, it just seems
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 5: to me that I look, I'm sure Lindsay Graham's sister
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 5: is a very nice, pleasant, wonderful person. But again, we
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 5: live in the United States. We don't have hereditary peerage
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 5: here where you know, family members are supposed to take
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 5: up the mantle. I think again, it requires you know, fair,
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 5: you know, a fair debate, honest elections here. That whole
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 5: thing is just kind of weird to me.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 21: Well, it is weird, and you know the fact would
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 21: you ever have Let's just take Nick Staving as example,
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 21: say when he retired he said, well, you know, I
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 21: want to pass that down to my wife or to
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 21: my son. It doesn't work that way. You got to
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 21: earn it. And if you pick a pilot to fly
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 21: you for six years, which is what you do when
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 21: you elect a senator, you want to know have they
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 21: had successful landings? What are this loan? And I like Darlene,
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 21: I mean I told her during the debate that she
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 21: did a good job, But where does she stand on issues?
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 21: I mean, what business has she run? I mean it's
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 21: more than just bloodlines. I mean, you don't. That's a
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 21: recipe for disaster unless she gets out here.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 13: She skipped, she.
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 21: Went to one debate, get the others. I'm sorry that
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 21: the South Carolinians deserve to know where she stands. Where
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 21: she stand on abortion, where she stand on Second Amendment,
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 21: gun rights? Where does she stand on you know, uh, taxation,
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 21: I mean what she's going to be voting on these things?
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 21: And it's I tell you, I've been up. I've been
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 21: in Congress for eight years. You take hard votes. Everything
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 21: has consequences and you have to be able to explain it.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 21: But to put somebody in office that that you don't know,
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 21: that have not had the experience, I mean, I've had
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 21: experience in the business arena, and I've had experience in Congress,
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 21: and I'm proud of it. Your record is your your resume,
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 21: and it's that's true in my case and and everybody's
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 21: really but I've got a I got a conservative record
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 21: that I back up with votes.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 5: Ralph Norman joining us on the Patriot Oble news maker
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 5: line and you can, you know, see his record there
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 5: and the work he's done in Congress. Ralph Norman for
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 5: Senate dot Com. It is a crowded field. What separates
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 5: you from the rest of the pack here, Congressman.
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 21: Well, I'm not a milk Coast you know, moderate. I'm
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 21: somebody who takes a position by every every rating in
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 21: this country. Heritage Foundation, Club for Growth, NRA, a Right
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 21: to Life, you know, Charlie Kirk's organization, all of them.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 21: I get an A plus rating in the nineties. No
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 21: one else can say that. No one else can say
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 21: they run a business uh and has made money and
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 21: lost money, which should be a prerequisite before you spend
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 21: the public's money. So my conservative record, my business experience,
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 21: and a record that you can look at.
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 21: Not everybody's going to agree with me, that's fine, but
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 21: it sure hadn't been. It hadn't been going along to
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 21: get along. And that's the problem. That's the to me,
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 21: the frustration that I have with the Republican Party, the
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 21: moderates who think they can, you know, walk to say
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 21: one thing and do another. It's time for real leadership.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 21: Ronald Reagan did that, Donald Trump is doing that, and
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 21: so we have to do that to back them up.
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 5: And of course Brando Emerson pull out showing you leading
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 5: Darlene Darlene Graham twenty two percent to nineteen percent, Russell
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 5: Fry former governor Mark Sanford eleven percent, than businessman Mark
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 5: Lincha at seven percent, another guy down at two percent.
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 5: So you're leading, You're leading the pack here, Congressman.
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 21: Well, you know, it's a day in politics is a
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 21: long time. I would just say to you listeners, urge
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 21: people in South Carolina.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 13: To go vote.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 21: And I am the most conservative one that does exactly
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 21: you know what I'm telling them, and nobody else can
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 21: say that. I mean, Darley just doesn't have a record.
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 21: Russell's got a record, but it's a moderate on that
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 21: and he's running for two offices. How do you do that?
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 21: How do you go to on a football team and
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 21: say you're gonna play quarterback and tight end at the
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 21: same time and then say the legislature is gonna bail
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 21: him out. Look, I've had it with him. I mean,
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 21: you know, the realness has got to come out, and uh,
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 21: let's evaluate everybody. And if I'm not the choice, so
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 21: be it. But I think I will be and I
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 21: think that we can do a lot of the state
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 21: and a lot for this country.
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 5: All Right, Well, Congressman, good luck to you, and we
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 5: will be watching that race very very closely. Again, folks,
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 5: Ralph Normanfirsenate dot com. He is the conservative in that race.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 5: That's Ralph Norman for Senate dot Com. Good luck, Congressman.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 21: Okay to thank you so much.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 5: All right, there you go, good guy, right there, good man.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 5: We had somebody call in and they were a little frustrated.
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 5: They said that it sounded like the congressman was blaming
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 5: the voters. Well, look, at the end of the day,
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 5: he's got a point. I mean, if you were not
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 5: getting out there and you're not voting, that's on you.
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's really that simple. And I hate to
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 5: say this to all the good people in my state
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 5: of Tennessee, but a lot of Republicans stayed home. They
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 5: didn't get out and vote. Well, shame on you. That's
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 5: on you. That is on you. Let's go to the
• 1:46:19

  Speaker 5: you've got to take you've got to start taking your
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 5: vote seriously. And unfortunately we got a lot of Republicans
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 5: that don't like to do it, and shame on them. Ed,
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 5: thank you for that call. Let's go to Richard and
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 5: o'calla Florida w o c A. Hi, Richard, what's going on?
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 13: It's a Todd. Thanks for taking my call. Todd. I
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 13: was just listening that little speech Trump made. He said,
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 13: the Democrats take over, We've got our last president. I
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 13: think it's almost that bad. If we lose the House
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 13: and the Senate and they impeach Trump, this nation is done.
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 13: I'm gonna give you my opinion, but I think the
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 13: American people better vote, no matter how upset the art
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 13: the way things are going, because if the other side wins,
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 13: it's through and Todd, it's worse than we anticipated. It's
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 13: not just the Democrat. I think John Thune is a
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 13: terrible individual. You remember when Nancy Plose she got the
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 13: Obamacare bill passed. She refused to let them leave Congress.
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 13: They didn't get to read the bill. She said, pass
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 13: it and then read it. Remember that I do, and
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 13: she forced that thing through. Now, I detested everything that
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 13: woman stands for and stood for, have no respect for her.
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 13: But Todd, I got more respect for her than I
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 13: do John Thune. The only thing that's going to save
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 13: this country, and that's only if God allows it, is
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 13: Jesus Christ returning to the obedience to Him and the
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 13: Save America Act, and he should have forced that through
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 13: months ago. He shouldn't have let them Senor to go home.
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 13: He should have made him vote on it and forced
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 13: that thing through, but he refused to do it. I think,
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 13: with all my heart half Republicans want Trump impeached. I
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 13: think the vice president does, because I think that's the
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 13: only way he would get elected. He had never win
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 13: the primary. Somebody like our governor from Florida would, but
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 13: that's the only way the vice president would win it.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 13: And that's because he went Catholic. And I think with
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 13: all my heart, John Thune, our President, and a lot
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 13: of our Republican leaders, once our president impeaked, and when
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 13: it happens, this country's done, you mark it down. I'll
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 13: sign it on the calendar. I hope I'm wrong, but
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 13: I don't think so. It's now or never, and they
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 13: better get to it.
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 5: Richard, we have to leave it there, well said, well
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 5: stated sir, Thank you, and I have a great weekend.
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 5: Got to take a quick break. This is the Tod
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 5: Sterns show. Well, that is certainly a great message for Republicans.
• 1:50:14

• 1:50:18
  Speaker 5: it talking about you John Rose money threats. Oh my goodness,

• 1:51:23
  Speaker 2: Hot talks like a fun food mixed with a fancy food,
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 2: and it really I don't think that would work exactly.
• 1:51:28
