Transcript
- 0:10Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 0:14Speaker 1: America's favorite gun, total Bible clinging, deplorable America.
- 0:18Speaker 2: That's this American.
- 0:25Speaker 3: Todd starts, well, all right, well let's save the Republic. Everybody. Hello,
- 0:31Speaker 3: I'm Todd Stearns. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show.
- 0:34Speaker 3: What an honor to have you with us today, everybody,
- 0:37Speaker 3: And what a very busy and what a very consequential
- 0:41Speaker 3: day for the Republic and those of you that are
- 0:45Speaker 3: listening to this program across the Commonwealth of Virginia. We
- 0:49Speaker 3: have a number of radio stations that carry this show.
- 0:53Speaker 3: This is a big day for you voters heading to
- 0:57Speaker 3: the polls, and all you need to know is that
- 1:00Speaker 3: you need to vote no on this referendum. Now, many
- 1:05Speaker 3: of you are saying, Todd, why have we been talking
- 1:07Speaker 3: about this for the past couple of weeks. What's going
- 1:10Speaker 3: on in Virginia? And why does this matter to me?
- 1:15Speaker 3: I live in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, I live in Salem, Oregon,
- 1:19Speaker 3: I live in wich Ofiton, Kansas. Does this why does
- 1:24Speaker 3: this impact me in my life?
- 1:26Speaker 4: Well?
- 1:26Speaker 3: The reason why it does, lidies and gentlemen, If the
- 1:28Speaker 3: Democrats are able to do this, and let me just
- 1:30Speaker 3: say this, what they are doing is sneaky and devious.
- 1:35Speaker 3: That's what's going on here. The Virginia voters are going
- 1:39Speaker 3: to be deciding today whether or not to redraw congressional maps.
- 1:44Speaker 3: And the whole point of this legislation is to redraw
- 1:49Speaker 3: maps that will favor Democrats. If this passes today, if
- 1:54Speaker 3: enough people vote yes on this referendum, then it would
- 1:58Speaker 3: pretty much wipe out the Republican congressional delegation. Now hear
- 2:03Speaker 3: me on this. We've run the numbers, I've looked at
- 2:05Speaker 3: all of the competitive races around the nation. I just
- 2:08Speaker 3: want you to step back for a moment and follow
- 2:10Speaker 3: me on this. If everybody wins their races all right
- 2:16Speaker 3: across the country, if all the Republicans win their races,
- 2:20Speaker 3: and if all the Democrats win their races all right,
- 2:24Speaker 3: and everybody it is as it is, the Democrats will
- 2:29Speaker 3: take control of the House of Representatives. And here's the
- 2:33Speaker 3: reason why. Because four Republican congressional districts will be wiped
- 2:39Speaker 3: out in Virginia. That's how important it is for every
- 2:44Speaker 3: single freedom loving patriot to get off of their blessed
- 2:47Speaker 3: assurance and go and vote today. That's how important it is.
- 2:53Speaker 3: If Republicans stay home and do nothing, as quite frankly,
- 2:59Speaker 3: the Republicuplicans have done since Donald Trump got re elected.
- 3:04Speaker 3: If the Republicans stay home, then Haunting Jefferies is going
- 3:08Speaker 3: to be the new Speaker of the House, and the
- 3:10Speaker 3: impeachment proceedings will begin, I would say within hours after
- 3:15Speaker 3: he's sworn in. That is that's what's going on here,
- 3:19Speaker 3: and that is what ultimately is at stake here. So
- 3:24Speaker 3: right now, we understand early voting began in March. Today
- 3:28Speaker 3: is election day, so we will know one way or
- 3:30Speaker 3: the other tonight how things went. And it certainly appears
- 3:34Speaker 3: that the numbers are matching the gubernatorial race. Now, I'm
- 3:38Speaker 3: just going to say this, and we would love to
- 3:41Speaker 3: hear from some of our Virginia voters, but there has
- 3:43Speaker 3: been tens of millions of dollars, some ninety three million
- 3:47Speaker 3: dollars of dark money that's been funneled into the commonwealth.
- 3:52Speaker 3: Most of that is coming from overwhelmingly that money is
- 3:55Speaker 3: coming from the Democrats. As a matter of fact, Barack
- 3:58Speaker 3: Hussein Obama is making a personal push here, so this
- 4:02Speaker 3: is his pet project. So Barack Obama. And if you've
- 4:05Speaker 3: noticed everything bad that's happened in this country, Barack Huseint
- 4:09Speaker 3: Obama has been behind all of it.
- 4:11Speaker 5: You see.
- 4:12Speaker 3: While his pals, the Islamist are waging jihad on the
- 4:16Speaker 3: streets of American cities, Obama is waging a political jihad.
- 4:22Speaker 3: And that's what's going on here now, right now, Virginia's
- 4:26Speaker 3: eleven House seats are held by what six Democrats, five Republicans.
- 4:30Speaker 3: If voters approve the referendum today, if that happens, there
- 4:36Speaker 3: will only be one one Republican district left. And here's
- 4:42Speaker 3: the funny part. Five of five of the congressional seats
- 4:48Speaker 3: will actually be representing parts of northern Virginia, which that's
- 4:52Speaker 3: the area around Washington, d C. So at least two
- 4:56Speaker 3: thirds of the state will have no representation anywhere near them.
- 5:01Speaker 3: That's what the Democrats are up to. And Mark Warner,
- 5:05Speaker 3: I'm sorry, not Mark Order Tim Kain. Tim Kain, the
- 5:08Speaker 3: Senator is out there saying, yeah, we know this is
- 5:12Speaker 3: not fair, but we've got to do this to stop
- 5:15Speaker 3: to stop Donald Trump. I want you to listen to
- 5:18Speaker 3: cut number two plays.
- 5:19Speaker 6: Let's talk about the.
- 5:20Speaker 7: Last vote there in Virginia. The presidential vote, Vice President
- 5:23Speaker 7: Kamala Harris won by about five percentage points. So the
- 5:26Speaker 7: state is relatively split with a left lean, but ninety
- 5:28Speaker 7: percent of House members from Virginia being for one party.
- 5:32Speaker 8: Ninety percent of Virginians are not Democrats, that's true, but
- 5:34Speaker 8: about one hundred percent of Virginians want election results.
- 5:38Speaker 9: To be respected.
- 5:39Speaker 8: We're deeply worried that Donald Trump will try to interfere
- 5:42Speaker 8: with the election results this November or in twenty twenty eight,
- 5:45Speaker 8: because we saw him do it before, and we have
- 5:48Speaker 8: to have a Congress that will stand up to it.
- 5:50Speaker 8: In twenty twenty one, all five Republicans in Virginia went
- 5:55Speaker 8: along with Donald Trump in his effort to overturn election results.
- 5:58Speaker 8: And so we're giving Virginians chance to vote, which Republican
- 6:02Speaker 8: states have not done about whether they want to have
- 6:04Speaker 8: a congressional delegation that will stand up against Donald Trump's tearrance.
- 6:09Speaker 3: All right, we're Dylan. I'm going to put you on
- 6:11Speaker 3: the spot here. We don't do that all the time,
- 6:13Speaker 3: but I want to put you on the spot today,
- 6:15Speaker 3: if that's all right?
- 6:16Speaker 5: Uh defends, but yes, go ahead, all right, this.
- 6:19Speaker 3: I'm going to read to you the actual question on
- 6:21Speaker 3: the ballot today. So let's say you've you've moved to
- 6:24Speaker 3: you've moved to Virginia, and you're going to vote today,
- 6:27Speaker 3: and this is the question, all right, Should the Constitution
- 6:31Speaker 3: of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to
- 6:35Speaker 3: temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the
- 6:40Speaker 3: upcoming elections? I would say, yeah, I agree with that absolutely.
- 6:49Speaker 3: I mean, I want to have fairness in the elections,
- 6:52Speaker 3: but that is always good. That has nothing to do
- 6:54Speaker 3: with fairness, though. This is literally taking and right now,
- 6:58Speaker 3: I think you've got six, Yes, you have six Democrat
- 7:01Speaker 3: congress people, and you have five Republican and their definition
- 7:05Speaker 3: of fairness is to do away with all of them
- 7:09Speaker 3: except for one. So they want ten. They want ten
- 7:12Speaker 3: Democrat congress peoples and one Republican. By the way, another
- 7:17Speaker 3: thing they're not doing. None of the materials actually show
- 7:21Speaker 3: you where all of the congressional districts are. And that
- 7:24Speaker 3: is intentional because five of them will actually be around
- 7:28Speaker 3: the Washington DC area. That is That's how insanely criminal
- 7:33Speaker 3: this is. But all of this has everything to do
- 7:38Speaker 3: with stopping Donald Trump. Here is Jason miat. He is
- 7:43Speaker 3: the former Attorney General of the Commonwealth. Cut number eight place.
- 7:48Speaker 10: It is the single most gerrymandered map in the entire country.
- 7:51Speaker 10: So that's not me saying it. The Virginia Public Access Project,
- 7:55Speaker 10: which is a nonpartisan group, has said that this would
- 7:59Speaker 10: be the most cherryman in the entire country. It literally
- 8:04Speaker 10: would be more gerrymander than even what you say in
- 8:06Speaker 10: the state of Illinois. Just saying something, and it is
- 8:11Speaker 10: the opposite of community of interests. Hampton Roads loses a
- 8:14Speaker 10: congressional seat, Shenandeau Valley is suddenly drawn into four different
- 8:18Speaker 10: congressional districts. You're going to have five congressmen that all
- 8:23Speaker 10: reside within twenty miles of each other in northern Virginia.
- 8:27Speaker 10: This is the definition of a map that serves politicians
- 8:30Speaker 10: and not serves Virginias.
- 8:34Speaker 3: Well, there you go, ladies and gentlemen. That's the lay
- 8:38Speaker 3: of the land in Virginia. Curious to hear from you
- 8:41Speaker 3: about voter turned out. Did you go and vote today
- 8:43Speaker 3: and how did you vote? The correct response for the question,
- 8:47Speaker 3: the question that's on the ballot is no. The answer
- 8:50Speaker 3: is no. That's all you need to know when you
- 8:54Speaker 3: go to vote today, but curious to hear from you.
- 8:57Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 9:00Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
- 9:04Speaker 3: The brazenness of this is, well, it's pretty dark impressive,
- 9:09Speaker 3: to be honest with you, because the Democrats are not
- 9:11Speaker 3: making look, they're not embarrassed by this at all. They
- 9:14Speaker 3: know exactly what they're doing. They're stealing the election, that's
- 9:18Speaker 3: what they're doing, and they want to fix the House
- 9:22Speaker 3: of Representatives, and that's what they're going to do with
- 9:24Speaker 3: this horrible thing that's happening today. Am I only concern
- 9:28Speaker 3: here are the Republicans? Are you people going to get
- 9:31Speaker 3: out and go and vote? And I know that the
- 9:35Speaker 3: Republicans are horrible, I get that, but still the Democrats
- 9:40Speaker 3: are even worse. As horrible as the Republicans may be,
- 9:44Speaker 3: we it is unthinkable to put the Democrats back in
- 9:47Speaker 3: control of this country or the Congress. It's just it's unthinkable, unthinkable,
- 9:54Speaker 3: primarily because they're going to be shipping yours truly off
- 9:57Speaker 3: to some sort of a re education camp. I have
- 10:00Speaker 3: no doubt about that. These people are very dangerous and
- 10:03Speaker 3: very disturbing. Nine oh one two six zero five to
- 10:07Speaker 3: nine two six is our telephone number. That's nine oh
- 10:10Speaker 3: one two six zero five nine two six. Coming up
- 10:12Speaker 3: a little bit later, we're going to be talking to
- 10:14Speaker 3: Josh Jones, a Republican Republican strategist, about all of this. Also,
- 10:20Speaker 3: Kelly Sadler, who is actually a news Max TV host,
- 10:24Speaker 3: is going to be joined us. Turns out that her
- 10:27Speaker 3: kids in Fairfax County schools were actually being told by
- 10:33Speaker 3: their teachers how to vote in the in the whole
- 10:37Speaker 3: redistricting thing. That's insane. Also coming up a very disturbing
- 10:42Speaker 3: story out of Minnesota. Liz Colin, who is a senior
- 10:45Speaker 3: reporter at Alphaeus, has an exclusive story We've got it
- 10:49Speaker 3: up on our website about two schools that are being
- 10:53Speaker 3: renovated and these public schools will have exclusive space for

- 11:06Speaker 3: is going on up there your calls as well, And
- 11:10Speaker 3: also coming up, we're going to tell you about just
- 11:15Speaker 3: one of the most insanely, insanely anti American stories we've

- 12:51Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh
- 12:54Speaker 3: one to six zero five nine two six. So an
- 12:59Speaker 3: interesting store that we've been following here, and it's really
- 13:03Speaker 3: a disturbing story. It involves Senator Chris Murphy, who is
- 13:10Speaker 3: the Democrat from Connecticut, and I don't know about you.
- 13:15Speaker 3: Let me put a let me put a pin here
- 13:17Speaker 3: on that for just a moment, and let me just
- 13:19Speaker 3: say this. It frustrates me that we are not enforcing
- 13:24Speaker 3: laws that are on the books, and that has frustrated
- 13:28Speaker 3: me for a very long time. And instead of enforcing
- 13:30Speaker 3: the laws that are on the books, Congress will just
- 13:33Speaker 3: go ahead and pass more laws that are on the
- 13:36Speaker 3: books that are simply not enforced. And it makes no
- 13:39Speaker 3: sense to me. Been upset about this for a very
- 13:42Speaker 3: long time. And I am a I'm a compassionate person,
- 13:47Speaker 3: I'm a kind I believe I'm a kind person, but
- 13:51Speaker 3: I also believe in the rule of law. I do
- 13:55Speaker 3: believe that there is a time and a place for mercy,
- 13:58Speaker 3: but there's also a time and a place for dealing
- 14:01Speaker 3: with the consequences of your actions. And time and time again,
- 14:06Speaker 3: we have seen those in power who have been able
- 14:11Speaker 3: to scoot by, They've been able to get away with things,
- 14:16Speaker 3: and I got a problem with that. I've always had
- 14:18Speaker 3: a problem with that. That, by the way, is one
- 14:20Speaker 3: of the reasons why I was such a fierce voice
- 14:25Speaker 3: in releasing the Epstein files. I believe that those who
- 14:30Speaker 3: committed crimes, especially crimes against young people, should be brought
- 14:35Speaker 3: to justice. They should be held accountable for their actions.
- 14:39Speaker 3: That's That's just how I've always felt about that. And
- 14:44Speaker 3: I know that some people are saying, Bob, but Todd,
- 14:46Speaker 3: there may be some innocent people. I'm not talking about
- 14:48Speaker 3: the innocent people. I'm talking about the people who committed crimes.
- 14:51Speaker 3: I'm talking about that seventeen million dollars slush fund on
- 14:55Speaker 3: Capitol Hill. I want to know who who ended up
- 15:00Speaker 3: up having to pay money out of that. We need
- 15:03Speaker 3: to know the names of those people. And and I've
- 15:06Speaker 3: already heard the argument, well Ton, we just have to
- 15:09Speaker 3: protect the victims. You know, we can't be we can't
- 15:11Speaker 3: be releasing who you know, which senators were kind of
- 15:14Speaker 3: you know, having their way with the interns and the pages.
- 15:17Speaker 3: We can't do that because that about exposed to victims. No,
- 15:20Speaker 3: I don't think it would. I really don't. I have
- 15:24Speaker 3: no interest in exposing the names of the victims. But
- 15:28Speaker 3: if we have predators on Capitol Hill, we need to
- 15:30Speaker 3: know who those people are and they need to be
- 15:33Speaker 3: dealt with lickety split. And that brings me to Senator
- 15:37Speaker 3: Chris Murphy, the Democrat from Content from Connecticut. He's under
- 15:41Speaker 3: fire because he cheered on America's enemy during the middle
- 15:47Speaker 3: of a war. Now, it was reported, and this was
- 15:52Speaker 3: a fake news report, by the way, but it was
- 15:53Speaker 3: reported that twenty six ships in Iran's shadow fleet were
- 15:57Speaker 3: able to run the US blockade in the Strait of
- 16:00Speaker 3: or Moves. In response to that news, the senator tweeted
- 16:05Speaker 3: a one word reply, awesome. Awesome. Do you understand what
- 16:14Speaker 3: he was doing here? The senator he's celebrating, celebrating the
- 16:18Speaker 3: fact that Iran was able to sneak by the US Navy, which,
- 16:23Speaker 3: by the way, that did not happen. That's fake news,
- 16:26Speaker 3: the White House spokesperson Olivia Wales telling Fox News the
- 16:32Speaker 3: congressman's social media post crossed the line. It takes an
- 16:36Speaker 3: insane level of Trump arrangement syndrome to cheer for a
- 16:40Speaker 3: terrorist regime that chanced death to America. She went on
- 16:45Speaker 3: to say, Chris Murphy is an america last radical afflou
- 16:48Speaker 3: to Zech who stands for illegal aliens, an Iranian terrorist
- 16:52Speaker 3: over the American people. The only thing awesome will be
- 16:56Speaker 3: when he is out of office. The Trump War Room
- 17:03Speaker 3: weighing in on act, saying this is what late stage
- 17:05Speaker 3: TDS looks like, cheering on Iran to defeat the US Navy. Now,
- 17:11Speaker 3: the congressman's office has weighed in because, I mean, the
- 17:14Speaker 3: outrage has been quite severe, as it should be. And
- 17:19Speaker 3: the Congressman's office said, you know this is uh, it's
- 17:22Speaker 3: just sarcasm. We're just being sarcastic. Really, can you help
- 17:27Speaker 3: point out the sarcasm? And your one word REPLI sir,
- 17:31Speaker 3: can you do that?
- 17:34Speaker 5: Now?
- 17:35Speaker 3: I know that the White House is saying, well, this
- 17:37Speaker 3: is just TDS, a Trump arrangement centrome. You know how
- 17:40Speaker 3: these people are. I do know how they are, but
- 17:44Speaker 3: I think This goes above and beyond TDS, because either
- 17:50Speaker 3: Senator Murphy is a moron or he is a traitor
- 17:54Speaker 3: to his country. And I think it's time that we
- 17:58Speaker 3: start calling out these trees in the Democrats for who
- 18:01Speaker 3: they are and what they really are. Understand this, treason
- 18:05Speaker 3: is a crime in the United States. Are well there
- 18:07Speaker 3: he goes again, that old Todd Starns. He's got that Hyperboley.
- 18:13Speaker 3: He's on the Hyperboley meter today. Callin Chris Murphia, Trader,
- 18:18Speaker 3: Come on, Starns, nobody. It's true. I was looking up
- 18:24Speaker 3: the US Code and treason, by the way, is still
- 18:26Speaker 3: a crime in this country, still law on the books,
- 18:30Speaker 3: and in part treason is defined as giving comfort to
- 18:34Speaker 3: the enemy. And I do believe that Senator Murphy's comments
- 18:38Speaker 3: were giving quite frankly, aid and comfort to the enemy,
- 18:43Speaker 3: and that's what he meant to do. You've got people
- 18:46Speaker 3: in the media cheering on the Iranians. You've got people
- 18:49Speaker 3: on Capitol Hill cheering on the Iranians. They want the
- 18:52Speaker 3: American people, they want the Americans to fail. They wanted
- 18:58Speaker 3: those pilots captured by Iran. That's why there were any
- 19:04Speaker 3: jubilant celebrations on the Democrat side of the aisle when
- 19:06Speaker 3: we were able to go in and rescue our chopper
- 19:09Speaker 3: pilots that went down. But I'm telling you, I think
- 19:13Speaker 3: ladies and julmen, what we ought to be doing here
- 19:16Speaker 3: is either censuring Chris Murphy. No, that's not good enough.
- 19:21Speaker 3: I think you ought to be brought up on charges.
- 19:24Speaker 3: It's time to start playing hardball with these people, and
- 19:26Speaker 3: it's time to start enforcing the laws of the books.
- 19:29Speaker 3: Shame on you, And it is time to stop coddling
- 19:32Speaker 3: anti American politicians. Nine oh one two six zero five
- 19:36Speaker 3: nine two six. This is the Tom Stern Show. All right,
- 19:53Speaker 3: welcome back everybody. This is the Ton Stearns Radio Show. Hey,
- 19:57Speaker 3: how do you get How do you guys feel about
- 20:00Speaker 3: all of these these gay couples that are adopting babies.
- 20:07Speaker 3: I'm just curious why. Actually they're really not adopting, they're
- 20:09Speaker 3: purchasing the children. I know that. Remember Transsect Booty Judge
- 20:15Speaker 3: or Booty Juice, Pee Pooty Juice his name the Transportation Secretaries,
- 20:20Speaker 3: not trans but that is the abbreviation trans SEC. I
- 20:25Speaker 3: can see where that would be confusing to people. So
- 20:28Speaker 3: anywill is calling Pee pooty juice and his his husband
- 20:35Speaker 3: is his name Chastity, Chastity, Chasen. I forget it's these
- 20:41Speaker 3: these millennial names. They slay me. So anyway, they you know,
- 20:46Speaker 3: they bought a couple of kids and pretended like they
- 20:48Speaker 3: actually gave birth to them, and there was all about
- 20:51Speaker 3: the chest feeding, all that kind of weird stuff. Anyway,
- 20:54Speaker 3: now there's a report out of Canada where three gay
- 20:58Speaker 3: men who are involved in a dylan what's the appropriate
- 21:03Speaker 3: word here, not perversion, rupple, thropple. Is it a thropple?
- 21:08Speaker 3: I think thropple? Yeah, thrupple. All right, so it's a
- 21:12Speaker 3: three way. So these three gay guys are in a
- 21:16Speaker 3: relationship together and they're adopting a child. Take a listen.
- 21:22Speaker 7: For the last seven years, Jonathan Bidah, Eric Leblin, and
- 21:27Speaker 7: Justin Matt have been waiting to become parents together, something
- 21:31Speaker 7: that officially happened yesterday.
- 21:33Speaker 11: She's perfect, of course, like any She's curious, she's energetic,
- 21:37Speaker 11: she loves to play, she loves to jump, she loves
- 21:40Speaker 11: to dance.
- 21:40Speaker 7: They adopted their three year old through Quebec's Youth Protection Services,
- 21:45Speaker 7: but first had to be approved as foster parents, something
- 21:48Speaker 7: that required a lot of work and openness. They say
- 21:52Speaker 7: to their relationship.
- 21:53Speaker 11: We had a lot of things to go through in
- 21:56Speaker 11: order to be able to be to have that accreditation,
- 21:59Speaker 11: and it's that process that they learned that we are
- 22:02Speaker 11: a little different because we're three, but we're not different
- 22:05Speaker 11: from any other family.
- 22:07Speaker 7: Some other Canadian provinces, including Ontario and British Columbia, legally
- 22:11Speaker 7: recognize more than two parents, Quebec does not. Last April,
- 22:15Speaker 7: at Quebec Superior Court judge ruled the government has a
- 22:18Speaker 7: year to modify the civil code to allow a child
- 22:21Speaker 7: to have more than two recognized parents, saying the current
- 22:25Speaker 7: situation is unconstitutional and violates the Canadian Charter of Rights
- 22:29Speaker 7: and Freedoms since it discriminates against different family models. Quebec
- 22:34Speaker 7: is appealing the decision. The Justice Ministry declined our request
- 22:37Speaker 7: for an interview, saying they won't comment since the matter
- 22:41Speaker 7: is in court.
- 22:41Speaker 11: We think that either way it might go all the
- 22:44Speaker 11: way to the Supreme Court. But we were sadden from
- 22:48Speaker 11: the fact that we're not backed by our own governments,
- 22:51Speaker 11: which is supposed to be an open government that wants
- 22:53Speaker 11: to help every single family.
- 22:55Speaker 7: Well, the law doesn't recognize all three as parents. They
- 22:58Speaker 7: say they're sharing the responsibility equally and doing whatever they
- 23:02Speaker 7: can to create a stable home and secure future for
- 23:05Speaker 7: their daughter.
- 23:06Speaker 11: We talk about what come up if we if we
- 23:09Speaker 11: split up, or if someone dies, and stuff like that.
- 23:11Speaker 11: We do anticipate those things because we have to, because
- 23:15Speaker 11: we're not protected if it doesn't.
- 23:16Speaker 7: And after what it has taken to get here, they're
- 23:19Speaker 7: enjoying this moment.
- 23:20Speaker 11: We are lucky to be three to give her all
- 23:22Speaker 11: that support, but I think we're the lucky ones to
- 23:26Speaker 11: have her in our life.
- 23:28Speaker 3: All right. That's the report out of the Canadian side
- 23:32Speaker 3: of the border, where apparently three gay men have adopted
- 23:35Speaker 3: a little girl. And then on this side of the border,
- 23:40Speaker 3: another weird story. This is in of all places, Nashville,
- 23:43Speaker 3: and there's a Grammy winning Nashville songwriter, a gay dude
- 23:47Speaker 3: who's married to another gay dude. Wait, is that an
- 23:51Speaker 3: actual Well you kind of have to be, I mean,
- 23:53Speaker 3: if you're a gay? Okay, Well, I don't want to
- 23:56Speaker 3: is a Naxi moron, No, it's I don't want to
- 23:59Speaker 3: overstate the issue. But anyway, two guys, all right, and
- 24:02Speaker 3: they're married, so therefore they would be gay if they're
- 24:06Speaker 3: if they're married, and they've got children that they purchased,
- 24:11Speaker 3: and I guess they purchased a brand new baby, and
- 24:14Speaker 3: this baby is out there crying. They're they're posting these
- 24:17Speaker 3: videos of the baby. Have you seen this, Dylan, This
- 24:20Speaker 3: is insane. It's all over the place.
- 24:23Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I've seen it.
- 24:24Speaker 3: And the poor child is crying, and they're like taunting
- 24:28Speaker 3: the baby. That's what gets me. They're tunning the baby.
- 24:31Speaker 3: Do you want your do you want your mommy? And
- 24:34Speaker 3: they're like, yeah, they got my mommy. I mean because
- 24:37Speaker 3: the baby, you know, the baby's hungry and the baby's needy.
- 24:41Speaker 3: And then the baby's looking at that dude and it's
- 24:43Speaker 3: like not getting any milk out of that. It's true,
- 24:47Speaker 3: at least not any that I want.
- 24:49Speaker 5: It's true, not natural.
- 24:51Speaker 3: No, the baby, the baby knows what's going down. And
- 24:54Speaker 3: so the guy's like, oh, my baby's homophobic, and so
- 24:57Speaker 3: they're mocking their mom the child. So then hold on,
- 25:05Speaker 3: what's this guy's name, Shane McAnally? No, that's not right.
- 25:10Speaker 3: I'm sorry, how do you pronounce that mcinally?
- 25:14Speaker 5: You have to add to.
- 25:20Speaker 3: Shane macay no, it's spelled anally though, mechanally, but it's McAnally.
- 25:25Speaker 3: I guess MCA MCA n A L l y.
- 25:30Speaker 5: That's just unfortunate.
- 25:32Speaker 3: That's an unfortunate name. Fortunate anyway, mister mclem I can't
- 25:36Speaker 3: do it anyway, this guy, it goes from baddors because
- 25:39Speaker 3: they're defending all of this. People are so disgusted by this,
- 25:42Speaker 3: and they're like, Okay, first of all, this is so
- 25:45Speaker 3: incredibly inappropriate. Why are you putting your baby up there?
- 25:48Speaker 3: Why are you mocking and taunting your child? Why are
- 25:51Speaker 3: you doing this? And so then they've got two other children.
- 25:56Speaker 3: I guess there may be first second graders, so they're
- 26:00Speaker 3: younger kids. And there's a new video that surfaced and Dylan,
- 26:05Speaker 3: I don't know if you've seen this one, but they
- 26:08Speaker 3: literally ask that. So the two dads are there and
- 26:12Speaker 3: this all on video and they're asking Somebody off camera
- 26:16Speaker 3: is asking the children which of your dad is like,
- 26:19Speaker 3: you know, which of your dad eats cheerios or which
- 26:22Speaker 3: of your dads does this? And then they ask which
- 26:27Speaker 3: of your dads is hornier?
- 26:31Speaker 5: I can't.
- 26:33Speaker 3: I'm just I've got this. I've got to lean to
- 26:35Speaker 3: it over on my Twitter page. I'm just just astounded,
- 26:41Speaker 3: just astounded, ladies and gentlemen, because why why would you
- 26:46Speaker 3: do this? Who out there just sent aside the fact
- 26:50Speaker 3: that you've got, you know, of the whole gay dude
- 26:53Speaker 3: that just set that aside for a moment. Who in
- 26:55Speaker 3: their right mind would haul small children before a camera
- 27:00Speaker 3: and on national you know, the national social media platforms.
- 27:06Speaker 3: Put your kids out there and ask them, Okay, who's
- 27:10Speaker 3: got the who's got the larger sex drive? Daddy A
- 27:14Speaker 3: or Daddy B. Are you guys okay with this? This
- 27:21Speaker 3: is insane. Meanwhile, you have some states where born again
- 27:24Speaker 3: evangelical Christians are not even allowed to adopt at all
- 27:31Speaker 3: because of their Christian beliefs. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm just
- 27:35Speaker 3: telling you, right here and right now, we've got debauchery
- 27:39Speaker 3: in this country. And this is Sodom and Gomorrah territory.
- 27:45Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 27:49Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 27:53Speaker 3: You do have to wonder what it's going to look
- 27:54Speaker 3: like to put these children in a hyper sexualized environment
- 27:58Speaker 3: and what kind of an mp that is going to
- 28:00Speaker 3: have mentally on these kids. That's just unacceptable. All right,
- 28:04Speaker 3: We got to take a break we'll be right back,
- 28:13Speaker 3: all right. Welcome back everybody. This is the Tod Stearns
- 28:16Speaker 3: Radio Show and we're just so honored to have so
- 28:19Speaker 3: many of you watching us on YouTube, also our Rumble channel,
- 28:23Speaker 3: Facebook Live, and of course listening to us on radio
- 28:26Speaker 3: stations across the nation. There is a very odd story
- 28:30Speaker 3: happening in Minnesota, and our next guest, she broke the story.
- 28:36Speaker 3: Just a terrific journalist. She's a senior reporter at Alpha News.
- 28:40Speaker 3: Liz Colin is on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line today. Liz,
- 28:45Speaker 3: so good to have you with us, and wow, great
- 28:47Speaker 3: job on this bizarre story we're about to talk about.
- 28:51Speaker 6: Thanks for having me on, Tom, appreciate it. Good to you.
- 28:54Speaker 3: All right. So we've been hearing across the country. We've
- 28:57Speaker 3: been hearing drips and drabs of schools that are accommodating
- 29:01Speaker 3: Islamic students. But you've discovered something in a Minneapolis suburb
- 29:05Speaker 3: that I think is probably one of the craziest stories
- 29:08Speaker 3: of the year. Tell us about it. What happened?
- 29:11Speaker 12: Yeah, So this is a story that came our way
- 29:13Speaker 12: over at Alfinows. We get a lot of great tips
- 29:15Speaker 12: because we have the courage to report them, Unlike the
- 29:18Speaker 12: mainstream media, especially here in Minnesota. This was information from
- 29:23Speaker 12: the actual blueprint for a school remodel in the Ossio
- 29:26Speaker 12: School District. This is the northwest suburbs of Minneapolis, and
- 29:31Speaker 12: also another project at another high school in the Ossio
- 29:34Speaker 12: School District. Part of the blueplants included clearly marked prayer
- 29:40Speaker 12: room that was going to be put in this high school,
- 29:44Speaker 12: and in the other high school foot washing stations that
- 29:47Speaker 12: were being put in the locker room areas there. So
- 29:50Speaker 12: we went about this story just as we would any other,
- 29:53Speaker 12: reaching out to the school district to see if in
- 29:55Speaker 12: fact this was the case, and they came back to
- 29:58Speaker 12: us with a statement basically say that this prayer room
- 30:01Speaker 12: could be used as anything else, trying to sort of
- 30:04Speaker 12: downplay the fact that the words were right there on
- 30:06Speaker 12: the blueprint, and then saying that the foot washing station
- 30:10Speaker 12: kind of was more of a lower sink, if you will,
- 30:13Speaker 12: but that the plans were included in updated plans, they said,
- 30:17Speaker 12: after hearing from user groups on student needs. But we
- 30:20Speaker 12: do know, Todd, that they do have a high population
- 30:24Speaker 12: Muslim population in that school district, and we've reported many
- 30:29Speaker 12: things attached to that district over the years over at ELPHINWS.
- 30:33Speaker 3: It's really unbelievable. And I don't know much about the
- 30:36Speaker 3: religious makeup of Minnesota. Here in the Southern States where
- 30:40Speaker 3: we broadcast our show from, you know, we have foot
- 30:44Speaker 3: washing Baptists. I don't know if you have very many
- 30:46Speaker 3: foot washing Lutherans in your neck of the woods. It
- 30:49Speaker 3: sounds to me like this is actually meant for a
- 30:51Speaker 3: specific religion and it is not Christianity.
- 30:55Speaker 12: Yeah, that was part of our tip, you know, kind
- 30:58Speaker 12: of the words where this is undoubted for Muslim students only.
- 31:01Speaker 12: I cannot understand how this can be happening in this
- 31:04Speaker 12: era of no religion in schools. But you can clearly
- 31:07Speaker 12: see the district playing a little bit of defense.
- 31:10Speaker 13: Now.
- 31:10Speaker 12: They've told other media outlets that the prayer room was
- 31:14Speaker 12: not labeled correctly, it was mislabeled in the plans, trying
- 31:18Speaker 12: to backtrack in a way, and also saying that these
- 31:22Speaker 12: foot washing stations are more lower Sincs than anything else.
- 31:26Speaker 12: But again, I guess the question is todd, then why
- 31:28Speaker 12: label them the way that they were they were labeled
- 31:31Speaker 12: in these blueprints for the school project.
- 31:33Speaker 3: Liz, It's a great point, and again this is a
- 31:37Speaker 3: you know, this is a problem I think that many
- 31:39Speaker 3: other school districts are going to have to deal with.
- 31:41Speaker 3: I know in Nashville, for example, John Overden High School.
- 31:44Speaker 3: We talked about this story last week on the radio
- 31:46Speaker 3: show where they just went overboard for Ramadan and decorating
- 31:50Speaker 3: the school providing prayer rugs. It does make you wonder,
- 31:55Speaker 3: you know, are they accommodating Christian kids the same way?
- 31:58Speaker 3: And I think the answer to that is no, they
- 31:59Speaker 3: are or not.
- 32:02Speaker 9: Right.
- 32:02Speaker 12: And as I said that, we've been reporting on this
- 32:05Speaker 12: specific district again, it is very close to close to Minneapolis,
- 32:08Speaker 12: and we see many of these ideologies take shape just
- 32:13Speaker 12: right outside the city. But just another story that that
- 32:16Speaker 12: comes to mind involving the Ostio School district, they had
- 32:18Speaker 12: this mandatory lgbtq I A plus type training if I'm
- 32:24Speaker 12: getting those all in there in there correctly for seventh
- 32:26Speaker 12: and eighth graders that they've now just recently allowed students
- 32:30Speaker 12: to opt out of over the last couple of years,
- 32:32Speaker 12: and every year we see more and more students opt
- 32:36Speaker 12: out of this ideology. And that's why I you know,
- 32:39Speaker 12: applaud these people always for coming forward and sending us
- 32:42Speaker 12: their their tips because I just know that they would
- 32:44Speaker 12: not see the light of day. The district was not
- 32:46Speaker 12: going to advertise these plans, and I do think there's
- 32:49Speaker 12: a lot of pushback we're seeing from parents after this
- 32:52Speaker 12: post went went viral just yesterday.
- 32:55Speaker 3: And Liz, I also have to imagine that you guys
- 32:57Speaker 3: need to get a lot of credit here because without
- 33:00Speaker 3: you guys boots on the ground reporting these kinds of stories,
- 33:03Speaker 3: they would not get covered by the local media, the
- 33:07Speaker 3: legacy media.
- 33:09Speaker 6: Well, it's actually interesting, Todd.
- 33:10Speaker 12: The media instead spends their time trying to say that
- 33:13Speaker 12: you know, these stories aren't true, or trying to attack
- 33:17Speaker 12: us as.
- 33:17Speaker 6: If our facts are not correct.
- 33:19Speaker 12: Basically accepting the fact that you know what, the district,
- 33:21Speaker 12: the school district just made a mistake and this room
- 33:23Speaker 12: was mislabeled.
- 33:24Speaker 6: There's nothing to see here when we know there's a
- 33:26Speaker 6: lot lot more to this story.
- 33:29Speaker 3: Wow, all right, Liz, a great reporting there, and we
- 33:32Speaker 3: want you to keep us updated. Any other crazy stories.
- 33:35Speaker 3: We'd love to get you back on the show.

- 34:12Speaker 3: zero five nine two six. Let's go to Bob and
- 34:15Speaker 3: o'calla Florida listening to us on WOCA. Bob, what's on
- 34:21Speaker 3: your mind today?
- 34:23Speaker 9: I think we should have with the kind of a
- 34:26Speaker 9: couple of problems that I've got here. Here's a kindness
- 34:30Speaker 9: woman I heard reported on the radio today. There's a
- 34:33Speaker 9: kindess woman that used FEMA money and I think it
- 34:37Speaker 9: was they talked about a million dollars a FEMA money
- 34:45Speaker 9: to fund her campaign for Congress. And then he's got
- 34:49Speaker 9: two congressmen that are accused of sexual harassment with the employees,
- 35:00Speaker 9: which is against the law too for us.
- 35:03Speaker 3: So who are we talking about? Who are we talking
- 35:05Speaker 3: about here?
- 35:05Speaker 9: Bob? I don't remember the kind of woman's name. Uh
- 35:13Speaker 9: and uh, the two congressmen here, and I can't tell
- 35:19Speaker 9: you their names either.
- 35:20Speaker 3: Okay, well let me let me try to fill in
- 35:22Speaker 3: some blanks here. But I think one of the one
- 35:25Speaker 3: of the things here is involving Corey Mills, who is
- 35:29Speaker 3: facing a possible expulsion vote. And you know, I'm look
- 35:33Speaker 3: for me. It's a black and white issue. It's not
- 35:35Speaker 3: about you know, Republicans, Democrats, independence, libertary that that has
- 35:39Speaker 3: nothing to do with it. It's about right or wrong right.
- 35:42Speaker 3: So if you are if you are out there committing crimes,
- 35:46Speaker 3: if you are out there taking advantage of your position,
- 35:49Speaker 3: then look, you deserve what's coming to you. I mean,

- 39:06Speaker 3: be joining us from Washington to talk about the very
- 39:09Speaker 3: latest on what's happening in Virginia. We understand that there

- 39:51Speaker 3: on Newsmax. She is the commentary editor for The Washington
- 39:54Speaker 3: Times and a newsmac's TV host, so you know she's
- 39:57Speaker 3: good people. Kelly, good to have you on the show today.
- 40:01Speaker 3: I hope you're doing well.
- 40:02Speaker 15: God, thanks for having me on. I appreciate it.
- 40:05Speaker 3: No, no, I know we're on the clock here because
- 40:06Speaker 3: you have a show to get ready for us, so
- 40:08Speaker 3: we're ready to We really appreciate you you hopping on
- 40:11Speaker 3: the show. What a crazy story about your You tell
- 40:15Speaker 3: me that you have fourteen year old twin boys, and
- 40:18Speaker 3: I want you to tell us what happened at their
- 40:20Speaker 3: local school.
- 40:22Speaker 13: Well, On Friday, I picked them up from school and
- 40:25Speaker 13: they both asked me, Hey, mom, are you voting yes
- 40:29Speaker 13: for the Virginia Redistrict. And I just looked at them
- 40:33Speaker 13: and I'm like, no, I'm not.
- 40:37Speaker 15: And I'm like, why are you asking me that question.
- 40:39Speaker 13: They're like, well, Savi's class was all about the election
- 40:42Speaker 13: coming up on Tuesday and how you should vote yes.
- 40:46Speaker 13: And I'm like, well, why should I vote yes? Oh, well,
- 40:49Speaker 13: because we need free and fair elections and we need
- 40:51Speaker 13: to stop Donald Trump. And these are the talking points
- 40:55Speaker 13: that the Democrats are using. They were shown the Obama ad.
- 40:58Speaker 13: I mean, if you turn YouTube on State of Virginia,
- 41:01Speaker 13: you're going to get Barack Obama campaign ads for free
- 41:04Speaker 13: and fair elections vote yes in the State of Virginia.
- 41:08Speaker 15: And I was appalled.
- 41:09Speaker 13: I mean, the boys know that I'm a conservative, they
- 41:11Speaker 13: know i'm a conservative pun and they know I was
- 41:13Speaker 13: a no And so then I asked them. I was like, hey, boys,
- 41:16Speaker 13: did you did you counter this at all? But I
- 41:18Speaker 13: mean they're fourteen year old boys. They go along to
- 41:21Speaker 13: get along. They don't like the classroom in the first place.
- 41:24Speaker 13: My one son was just like, mo, I'm like, of course,
- 41:27Speaker 13: not that being in that class is like being a
- 41:29Speaker 13: Jew in Nazi Germany.
- 41:31Speaker 15: I just put my head down and I try.
- 41:33Speaker 13: I hope, I hide. I hope they don't say anything
- 41:35Speaker 13: about me. And then my other boy who's in another
- 41:38Speaker 13: who's in another class. They're not in the same Civics class,
- 41:41Speaker 13: and it's taught by two different teachers. He had the
- 41:43Speaker 13: same lesson taught by his teacher, and he has a
- 41:46Speaker 13: friend there who watches the NEWSMAC show who reads my commentary.
- 41:50Speaker 13: And the one friend asked Lucas, well, Lucas, what would
- 41:53Speaker 13: your mom think of this? And I'm not proud to
- 41:56Speaker 13: say this, but Lucas goes, I don't know my mom.
- 41:58Speaker 13: My mom died too years ago. And I'm like, look,
- 42:01Speaker 13: as f did you say you killed me in the classroom.
- 42:04Speaker 13: He's like, Mom, it's not going to do me any
- 42:06Speaker 13: favors for my teachers to know that you're a conservative
- 42:10Speaker 13: and what you think. If anything, I'm going to get
- 42:14Speaker 13: flunked and failed in that class. So I felt like
- 42:18Speaker 13: I had to write about this because this is the
- 42:20Speaker 13: sort of indoctrination that our kids are getting when they
- 42:22Speaker 13: attend public schools on a daily basis.
- 42:25Speaker 3: I think you're right. I think your kids are right.
- 42:26Speaker 3: I mean, you know, imagine being in a classroom like
- 42:29Speaker 3: that and your teacher has your career, your future in
- 42:35Speaker 3: their hands. And I know a lot of college kids
- 42:37Speaker 3: have to go through this and a lot of times
- 42:39Speaker 3: they just feel like the easier way is to just
- 42:41Speaker 3: not say anything and try to sneak through without being,
- 42:46Speaker 3: you know, identified as a conservative. And I think that's
- 42:48Speaker 3: a really sad thing.
- 42:50Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 42:50Speaker 15: No, the self censorship is very real.
- 42:53Speaker 13: And I've spoken to other parents who've had the same
- 42:56Speaker 13: experience in the classroom that the Civics teachers said the
- 42:59Speaker 13: same thing. Going into this election today, and there's a
- 43:04Speaker 13: strong push and you had Randy Weingarten today on x
- 43:08Speaker 13: posting that, you know, Virginia needs to vote yes on
- 43:12Speaker 13: this referendum. So they're very politically invested in the outcome
- 43:16Speaker 13: of this race, which ironically will not affect any Virginias.
- 43:20Speaker 13: Virginians is all about a national representation in the House
- 43:24Speaker 13: of Representatives. If anything, the rural vote in the state
- 43:28Speaker 13: is going to be disenfranchised.
- 43:29Speaker 3: You know, Kelly, here's what gets me. And it's a
- 43:32Speaker 3: great column you wrote, and folks, i'd encourage you to
- 43:34Speaker 3: go and check it out over the Washington Times, this
- 43:37Speaker 3: idea that these schools, taxpayer funded schools, are literally turning
- 43:42Speaker 3: and they're weaponizing kids, and they're trying to get the
- 43:45Speaker 3: kids to, you know, to try to I don't know,
- 43:47Speaker 3: coerce their parents into voting the way the teachers that
- 43:50Speaker 3: want them to vote.
- 43:52Speaker 9: No.
- 43:52Speaker 13: Absolutely, and I saw this with the ice walkouts and
- 43:55Speaker 13: the ice protests. I didn't say anything, but my boys
- 43:57Speaker 13: did come to me and they were like, you know,
- 44:00Speaker 13: the school is organizing or walk out.
- 44:02Speaker 15: I'm like, well, let's just skip in class. They're like, yeah,
- 44:05Speaker 15: we're gonna go.
- 44:05Speaker 13: We don't like being in class. We just want to
- 44:07Speaker 13: let you know we're going to go. But it was
- 44:09Speaker 13: arranged by the civics teachers, and I never got a
- 44:11Speaker 13: memo that the boys weren't in school, that they participated
- 44:14Speaker 13: in this from the school. It very much is they're
- 44:17Speaker 13: going after our youth. And as a parent, who has
- 44:20Speaker 13: I have to send my kids to public school. Unfortunately
- 44:23Speaker 13: I don't have the funds. I've got another boy who
- 44:25Speaker 13: is in private school, but it ends at sixth grade.
- 44:28Speaker 13: So middle school was the first time the twins saw
- 44:30Speaker 13: all of this through a fresh lens. But It's very
- 44:34Speaker 13: important for parents, if you can't afford an alternative of
- 44:37Speaker 13: the public school system, to have these discussions with your children,
- 44:41Speaker 13: to ask them what they are learning, to teach them
- 44:44Speaker 13: the conservative principles, because that's what I've been doing with
- 44:47Speaker 13: my boys, and they felt like they needed to share
- 44:50Speaker 13: this with me.
- 44:50Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad they did it, and those are great points,
- 44:54Speaker 3: and I would just throw in even if your kids
- 44:56Speaker 3: go to a private school. You know, I think it's
- 44:58Speaker 3: important to have those conversations. I just I think the
- 45:01Speaker 3: entire system is corrupted by these by these woke academic communities.
- 45:06Speaker 16: Well you see it.
- 45:07Speaker 13: You see it when it comes to the state of Israel.
- 45:10Speaker 13: You see it with the pro Palestinian flags. When my
- 45:13Speaker 13: boys first went into school for orientation, all of the
- 45:16Speaker 13: rainbow flags that were hanging in the classroom, the lack
- 45:19Speaker 13: of the American flag was shocking to them.
- 45:23Speaker 15: But I'm like, this is the real world. You're gonna
- 45:25Speaker 15: have to learn to deal with it.
- 45:26Speaker 13: You're gonna have to learn to debate on your principles
- 45:28Speaker 13: and engage. Unlike the left, I feel like the right
- 45:32Speaker 13: is very accepting. We want to have debate, we want
- 45:34Speaker 13: to have dialogue. We were open to, you know, different opinions,
- 45:40Speaker 13: but these teachers are not.
- 45:41Speaker 15: The left is not. You either agree with them and
- 45:43Speaker 15: if you disagree with them, you're in the wrong.
- 45:46Speaker 6: And then they have.
- 45:47Speaker 13: They're in the power full position unfortunately with these students,
- 45:50Speaker 13: not to give them recommendations, to give them failing grades,
- 45:53Speaker 13: to to you know, flag them on you know, different
- 45:57Speaker 13: errors or whatnot.
- 45:58Speaker 3: Kelly Sadler is the commentary for The Washington Times and
- 46:01Speaker 3: a host at Newsmax TV. Kelly, you mentioned a lot
- 46:05Speaker 3: of those Obama ads. We've heard numbers up to ninety
- 46:08Speaker 3: million dollars in dark money just pouring into the Commonwealth.
- 46:13Speaker 3: Are you hearing the same number of Republican ads?
- 46:17Speaker 15: No? No, the Republicans here are nonexistent.
- 46:20Speaker 17: Listen.
- 46:20Speaker 13: I went to the polling place this morning and there
- 46:24Speaker 13: was just a stand that said vote yes, and a
- 46:26Speaker 13: guy giving out flyers saying, if you're confused, this is where,
- 46:29Speaker 13: this is how you should vote. I'm like, I'm not confused.
- 46:32Speaker 13: This is the worst gerrymander in the country. If this
- 46:36Speaker 13: goes through, I'm a voting no. But there was no
- 46:38Speaker 13: Republican presence there, there was no alternative there. I'm quite
- 46:42Speaker 13: worried that Republicans did not invest the time or effort
- 46:45Speaker 13: in combating this jerrymander.
- 46:47Speaker 11: Though I am.
- 46:48Speaker 13: Encouraged by your earlier report that we're seeing strong turnout
- 46:51Speaker 13: in rural areas because really they are the ones that
- 46:53Speaker 13: are going to be so misrepresented or underrepresented in Virginia,
- 46:58Speaker 13: which is.
- 46:58Speaker 15: A purple stak.
- 47:00Speaker 3: You're right, You're absolutely right about that. All right, Kelly,
- 47:02Speaker 3: we're gonna let you get going. I know you've got
- 47:03Speaker 3: to get ready for your show, and we really do
- 47:05Speaker 3: appreciate you joining us here on the radio today.
- 47:08Speaker 15: Thank you so much, toott. I appreciate you having me
- 47:10Speaker 15: on and let me share the story.
- 47:12Speaker 3: All right, the great Kelly Saddler. Everybody got to go
- 47:14Speaker 3: read her work over at the Washington Times. It is
- 47:17Speaker 3: a great, great column and it'll help you understand what's
- 47:21Speaker 3: going on in our taxpayer funded schools. And I suspect
- 47:25Speaker 3: this is not just happening in Fairfax County. I suspect
- 47:28Speaker 3: it's happening in many schools across the Commonwealth of Virginia.
- 47:32Speaker 3: All right, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna take
- 47:34Speaker 3: a break. We've got folks wanting to weigh in. Nine
- 47:36Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five, nine two six is
- 47:39Speaker 3: our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero five,
- 47:43Speaker 3: nine two six. This is the Todd Sterns Show.
- 47:57Speaker 14: Oh my goodness.
- 48:00Speaker 3: You know what we ought to do is do it.
- 48:02Speaker 3: We should know, we should not we should do this,
- 48:04Speaker 3: but we're not gonna do it because you know, people
- 48:07Speaker 3: always ask what do you guys do during the commercial breaks?
- 48:09Speaker 3: And I I don't think we should let people know that.
- 48:13Speaker 5: No, but you can just generally say we chit chat.
- 48:17Speaker 3: What happens in the break stays in the break.
- 48:19Speaker 5: It's true.
- 48:20Speaker 3: Is that is gonna pro it? Yeah, because normally I
- 48:22Speaker 3: have to yell at you guys about something, right, So
- 48:25Speaker 3: I try to sneak in there.
- 48:26Speaker 5: And sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad.
- 48:29Speaker 3: It is what it is. Yes, Uh, let's go to
- 48:31Speaker 3: the phones here nine oh one two six zero five,
- 48:34Speaker 3: nine two six. We'll go to Warren, Ohio. Pastor Harold
- 48:39Speaker 3: is on the line. High Pastor Harold, What what can
- 48:42Speaker 3: I do for you?
- 48:44Speaker 17: If there you're talking about Islam and everything. I didn't
- 48:47Speaker 17: know if you knew the back. Around twenty twenty four
- 48:50Speaker 17: of the state of Minnesota got a new Minnesota state
- 48:53Speaker 17: flag with the eight pointed Muslim white star on there,
- 48:57Speaker 17: and they're trying to tell the simple minded that this
- 49:00Speaker 17: represents the North Star, which anybody knows is crazy. And
- 49:05Speaker 17: so that shows you even clear back in twenty twenty four,
- 49:07Speaker 17: the direction of the state of Minnesota was going toward that,
- 49:10Speaker 17: you know, globalist Islamic anti Christ prepared for the anti
- 49:15Speaker 17: Christ tribulation to come, you.
- 49:18Speaker 3: Know, Pastor, Yeah, we I think we covered that story
- 49:21Speaker 3: quite a bit. What I find interesting is how closely
- 49:24Speaker 3: it resembles the Somali flag.
- 49:27Speaker 17: Yes, yes it does. I think they called aber Jarjon
- 49:30Speaker 17: or something like that identical to it.
- 49:33Speaker 3: No, I think you're right. Let me ask you, Pastor,
- 49:35Speaker 3: because you mentioned, you know, the the end times, and
- 49:38Speaker 3: when you look at when you look at where we
- 49:42Speaker 3: are in the country right now and really in the world,
- 49:46Speaker 3: where so many people are turning your inst nation of Israel,
- 49:50Speaker 3: you do wonder and with all the things happening, you
- 49:53Speaker 3: know these I don't They said there are going to
- 49:55Speaker 3: be things in the sky, signs and wonders, as they
- 49:57Speaker 3: would say, And I'm not sure if all these fl
- 50:00Speaker 3: flying orbs and whatever those things are would be you know,
- 50:03Speaker 3: representative of the signs and wonders. But I'm wondering, do
- 50:06Speaker 3: you think we could be living in the I mean,
- 50:09Speaker 3: the end of days. You're a pastor, so I just
- 50:10Speaker 3: wanted to pick your brain.
- 50:13Speaker 17: Yeah, there's no doubt about it. First of all, the
- 50:15Speaker 17: rapture couldn't happen until nineteen forty eight once Israel returned
- 50:18Speaker 17: to her homeland. And now that Israel's back in her homeland,
- 50:21Speaker 17: Matthew twenty seven says that right before Jesus Christ comes
- 50:25Speaker 17: in the rapture, every nation of the world is going
- 50:28Speaker 17: to hate Israel. The Devil's just going to get everybody
- 50:30Speaker 17: turned against Israel. And that's never happened as far as
- 50:33Speaker 17: every nation in the world until just recently, and when
- 50:37Speaker 17: this country got corrupted by you know, simple minded people
- 50:41Speaker 17: going after Islam and turning their back on America, and
- 50:45Speaker 17: so we're ready for it. You know that this country
- 50:48Speaker 17: turned us past, start turned us back on God clear
- 50:50Speaker 17: back when they kicked the Bible in the Ten Commandments
- 50:53Speaker 17: out of school. And you know, first they turn their
- 50:56Speaker 17: back on God and then you know, the devil's crowds
- 50:58Speaker 17: starts taking over. And right now we're ready for the
- 51:01Speaker 17: Raptor of the Church to take place, and then the
- 51:03Speaker 17: Antichrist is going to come up out of the United Nations,
- 51:06Speaker 17: and uh, you know there were for there's no doubt
- 51:11Speaker 17: about it. And then there's going to be a seven
- 51:13Speaker 17: year tribulation period. And after that seven year tribulation period,
- 51:16Speaker 17: you're going to have Jesus Christ coming back in power
- 51:19Speaker 17: and glory. So there's a two step thing on Jesus
- 51:22Speaker 17: coming back the raptor of the Church, where he comes
- 51:24Speaker 17: like a thief in the night and and and grabs
- 51:26Speaker 17: the Christians out of here. And then seven years later
- 51:29Speaker 17: when he comes back, every I'll see him, uh and uh,
- 51:33Speaker 17: you know, his enemies will tremble and fall down and
- 51:35Speaker 17: want the mountains to fall on them to hide them.
- 51:38Speaker 17: And that's when he's going to come back, and you're
- 51:40Speaker 17: going to have the judgment take place.
- 51:44Speaker 3: You know, Pastor, I've always wondered how and I was
- 51:47Speaker 3: always fascinated when the pastor would would preach from the
- 51:50Speaker 3: Book of Revelation. You know, and especially as a little kid,
- 51:53Speaker 3: you know, it's hard not to have the living daylight
- 51:55Speaker 3: scared out of you. But you know, as you get older,
- 51:58Speaker 3: you know, it's really interesting to watch all the puzzle
- 52:01Speaker 3: pieces come together, and I you know, no man knows
- 52:05Speaker 3: the time or the hour, but I think we do
- 52:07Speaker 3: know there are going to be signs, right There are
- 52:09Speaker 3: going to be signs.
- 52:11Speaker 17: It's going to be signs. And you know, the Book
- 52:13Speaker 17: of Revelation really isn't that hard. I think in chapters
- 52:16Speaker 17: two and three the Church has mentioned about fifteen times,
- 52:20Speaker 17: and then Revelation four to one, God says, come up hither,
- 52:23Speaker 17: and that's the picture of the rapture when God grabs
- 52:26Speaker 17: all the born again Christians and takes the soam immediately.
- 52:29Speaker 17: And then from Revelation four to Revelation nineteen, you don't
- 52:34Speaker 17: have the Church mentioned one time about being here on earth.
- 52:37Speaker 17: It's up in heaven. And up in heaven we're going
- 52:39Speaker 17: through the beemasty judgment, which is just for Christians, where
- 52:43Speaker 17: we get rewards or lose rewards based on our licensed
- 52:46Speaker 17: Christians here and then the marriage suffer of the Lamb,
- 52:49Speaker 17: and then after that's over. Revelation nineteen, the Church comes
- 52:53Speaker 17: back to earth with Jesus Christ and wipes out the
- 52:56Speaker 17: anti Christ and the false prophet as they march on
- 53:00Speaker 17: Israel to destroy Jerusalem and everything. And they're going to
- 53:03Speaker 17: have probably two hundred million UN troops with them to
- 53:07Speaker 17: get wiped out. That's going to be the value of
- 53:09Speaker 17: Armageddon and everything, the Battle of Armageddon. Wow, and it
- 53:12Speaker 17: says the blood is going.
- 53:13Speaker 3: To Well, yeah, we don't have time for a full
- 53:15Speaker 3: twenty minute sermon, Pastor, but I think we got the
- 53:18Speaker 3: gist of it. You gave us nice a nice nugget there.
- 53:22Speaker 3: I don't know, it's just it's all very it's all
- 53:25Speaker 3: very fascinating to me, and you sort of see how
- 53:29Speaker 3: you know again, I never in a million years would
- 53:31Speaker 3: have thought that all of the nations of the world
- 53:34Speaker 3: would turn against Israel, Pastor. I always thought the United
- 53:37Speaker 3: States would always be a friend to Israel. And a
- 53:40Speaker 3: lot of people said, well, you know, the United States
- 53:42Speaker 3: isn't an in times prophecy, so maybe we're not here.
- 53:46Speaker 3: Maybe that's what it meant. But it looks like even
- 53:48Speaker 3: we're going to be turning against Israel. If you look
- 53:51Speaker 3: at the vast numbers of young people in this country
- 53:53Speaker 3: who just simply bought into the lies they were taught.
- 53:57Speaker 17: You're exactly right, we're going to go from gods into
- 54:00Speaker 17: God's wrath. Well, based on how we greet Israel.
- 54:03Speaker 3: Well, all right, pastor, thank you for that call. Thanks
- 54:06Speaker 3: and by the way, thanks for letting us let me,
- 54:08Speaker 3: let me, letting me probe your pastoral mind.
- 54:10Speaker 17: There.
- 54:11Speaker 3: Let's go to Gary and Daytona Beach, Florida. Tell me
- 54:14Speaker 3: you OCA are great affiliate there, Hi, Gary, what's going on?
- 54:18Speaker 9: Hey?
- 54:19Speaker 14: Tough tough call to follow. That was but one of
- 54:23Speaker 14: your previous callers that Rashielle McCormick, the congresswoman in South
- 54:26Speaker 14: Florida that just had her federal trial moved up eighteen months.
- 54:31Speaker 14: That way, she's hoping she doesn't get expelled from Congress.
- 54:34Speaker 14: But the main reason when you were speaking to Kelly
- 54:38Speaker 14: about Virginia, two of the ads won by Obama is
- 54:44Speaker 14: so misleading because it talks about the redistrict being being temporary,
- 54:49Speaker 14: which I thought was insane when they try to speak
- 54:54Speaker 14: about it being a temporary solution, and that's an outright lie.
- 55:01Speaker 3: You know what really struck me about that whole interview.
- 55:03Speaker 3: I asked her about the ads because she said she's
- 55:05Speaker 3: seen Obama every other you know, every other commercial, and
- 55:09Speaker 3: the fact that there were no Republican commercials, that the
- 55:11Speaker 3: Republicans are just a wall. And I mean even on
- 55:15Speaker 3: the national level. You know this radio show we I
- 55:18Speaker 3: don't know. We're one of the few radio shows that

- 57:05Speaker 3: All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. This is the
- 57:07Speaker 3: Tom Stearns Radio Show. Before we get to politics, I
- 57:11Speaker 3: want to bring in Josh Jones, our Republican strategists. We
- 57:15Speaker 3: have the best Republican strategist in the freaking country, Ladies
- 57:19Speaker 3: and gentlemen, and Josh always good to have you with us.
- 57:27Speaker 3: All right, let let's try to reconnect with Josh there
- 57:30Speaker 3: and we'll get him back on the line. Guys, let
- 57:32Speaker 3: me know when we can do that. There is an
- 57:35Speaker 3: interesting report out there. This is from the New York Post.
- 57:41Speaker 3: Restaurants are now banning cell phones during meals. I Dylan,
- 57:47Speaker 3: I love this idea. I can't tell you how many
- 57:49Speaker 3: times I go into Well the Moon Dance and this
- 57:53Speaker 3: doesn't happen at Central Barbecue because people's hands, you know,
- 57:56Speaker 3: are covered in barbecue sauce. So it's kind of hard
- 57:59Speaker 3: to doom scroll. Yeah, you don't have to worry about it, right,
- 58:01Speaker 3: exactly exactly. But when you use a fork and a knife, yeah,
- 58:04Speaker 3: you didn't worry about the phone. So you're sitting there
- 58:07Speaker 3: and I've I've seen Date night over at the Moon Dance,
- 58:10Speaker 3: and you know, I'm getting my meal and I'm enjoying
- 58:13Speaker 3: my delicious meal. And I like to watch people. I'm
- 58:15Speaker 3: a people watcher, yes, And I see the young people
- 58:19Speaker 3: coming in and the guys have the beautiful girls and
- 58:23Speaker 3: they're dressed to the nines and they're there. She's got
- 58:26Speaker 3: her hair done and the makeup, and and all they're
- 58:29Speaker 3: doing is staring at their phones.
- 58:32Speaker 5: Terrible.
- 58:33Speaker 3: This makes no sense.
- 58:34Speaker 5: Our generation is doomed.
- 58:35Speaker 3: All right, We've got Josh Jones joining us. I'm going
- 58:37Speaker 3: to bring Josh into this conversation. Josh, hope you're doing well, good,
- 58:42Speaker 3: good good. So anyway, I'm wondering about yourself. When you
- 58:46Speaker 3: go into a restaurant, do you scroll? Do you put
- 58:49Speaker 3: away your phone?
- 58:50Speaker 18: What do you do?
- 58:51Speaker 2: I typically put away my phone.
- 58:53Speaker 16: I mean, I guess it depends on the context. But like, yeah,
- 58:55Speaker 16: I'm typically chit chatting with whoever i'm with.
- 58:58Speaker 3: Well that's good. So even a chick. You know, they
- 59:01Speaker 3: actually tried this where if you put away your phone,
- 59:03Speaker 3: they give you free ice cream, which I think is
- 59:06Speaker 3: a nice thing. Everybody wants free ice cream. But anyway,
- 59:09Speaker 3: it's becoming a trend. I'm reading here from the New
- 59:11Speaker 3: York Post. It's becoming a trend that's common at high
- 59:15Speaker 3: end spots like listening bars, supper clubs and lounges and
- 59:20Speaker 3: restaurants that offer tasting menus. And so they're saying that
- 59:25Speaker 3: there's this antiphone sentiment where people are just you know,
- 59:28Speaker 3: they're tired of it. You know, they're tired of their
- 59:30Speaker 3: phones and being attached to their phones, and they're just
- 59:33Speaker 3: putting them away. I'm wondering here, guys and Dylan, because
- 59:37Speaker 3: you and Josh are about the same age, are you, guys,
- 59:40Speaker 3: as your generation sort of losing interest in being connected
- 59:43Speaker 3: to the phone twenty four to seven.
- 59:46Speaker 5: I think there is something to say about that. I
- 59:48Speaker 5: think there's a trend now where people are going back
- 59:51Speaker 5: to more just finding connection because through several dating apps
- 59:56Speaker 5: and other things like that, it's hard to make a
- 59:57Speaker 5: real connection with someone because you never actually go out
- 1:00:00Speaker 5: and see someone in person. So I think there's a
- 1:00:02Speaker 5: real there's really there's something there that people are now seeing.
- 1:00:06Speaker 5: Just put away your phone during a day, leave it
- 1:00:08Speaker 5: in the car, you'll actually talk to them and get
- 1:00:11Speaker 5: to know them instead of just surface level things.
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: I like that, Josh, what say you?
- 1:00:15Speaker 9: Yeah?
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: I mean I agree, And I don't remember the name.
- 1:00:18Speaker 16: There's a couple of bars in DC where they have
- 1:00:21Speaker 16: that kind of boss you talked about, where like, essentially
- 1:00:24Speaker 16: they'll either I have a little locker that for you
- 1:00:26Speaker 16: to put your phone in that only you have access to,
- 1:00:28Speaker 16: and you put it in when you go in, you
- 1:00:29Speaker 16: get on your way out. So I encourage people to
- 1:00:31Speaker 16: actually talk to each other, like socialize because, like to
- 1:00:34Speaker 16: Dylan's playing, all my closest friends and strongest connections are
- 1:00:38Speaker 16: people that, like I interact with regularly in person, not
- 1:00:41Speaker 16: people that, like I necessarily you know, only have some
- 1:00:44Speaker 16: kind of online presence with.
- 1:00:46Speaker 3: Since I have both of you here together, I want
- 1:00:48Speaker 3: to ask you both. I'm putting you both on the
- 1:00:50Speaker 3: spot here with this question, and I'm not asking on
- 1:00:53Speaker 3: behalf of your moms, but I am asking on behalf
- 1:00:55Speaker 3: of your moms because you guys are attached, You are
- 1:00:58Speaker 3: tethered to these little devices, And I'm just curious, since
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: you are attached, why don't you answer the text messages.
- 1:01:08Speaker 5: That's a good question going on.
- 1:01:11Speaker 16: We were literally just having this discussion in my office
- 1:01:14Speaker 16: the other day. I don't I don't know, honestly, don't
- 1:01:17Speaker 16: know what it is. I think it's a combination of
- 1:01:19Speaker 16: number one, being able to dedicate the time to the conversation,
- 1:01:23Speaker 16: if that makes sense. So like like in the middle
- 1:01:25Speaker 16: of a meeting or if I'm doing something, I feel
- 1:01:27Speaker 16: like I need to like set aside time that evening
- 1:01:30Speaker 16: when I know I'm not going to be busy, and
- 1:01:31Speaker 16: then send a response.
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: That way, I can go back and forth.
- 1:01:34Speaker 5: But it takes a.
- 1:01:35Speaker 3: Second to answer yes or no, Josh Jones, yes or no.
- 1:01:40Speaker 3: Answer your mother's text messages were crying out loud.
- 1:01:45Speaker 9: God.
- 1:01:45Speaker 5: Sometimes you put a mean punctuation on your text, you know.
- 1:01:48Speaker 5: Sometimes you'll leave it with a period or a dot
- 1:01:51Speaker 5: dot dot, And I can't stand the dot dot dots
- 1:01:53Speaker 5: because that means you're mad at me. No, when my
- 1:01:57Speaker 5: mom does the same thing, by the way, and I
- 1:01:59Speaker 5: and I told her about this, I said, Mom, you're
- 1:02:01Speaker 5: putting dot dot dots there, and you're not mad at me,
- 1:02:04Speaker 5: but I feel like you are.
- 1:02:05Speaker 3: No, it means the conversation continues and I'm tired of writing,
- 1:02:08Speaker 3: so I'm like dot dot todd.
- 1:02:10Speaker 5: No, it means something else for us.
- 1:02:13Speaker 3: And guess what a period means. It's the end of
- 1:02:15Speaker 3: the sentence. It's the end of the thought.
- 1:02:18Speaker 5: That means you're mad.
- 1:02:19Speaker 3: No, that that means you're triggered. You're triggered by punctuation.
- 1:02:23Speaker 5: Can you add a few emojis to your text dot?
- 1:02:26Speaker 5: That might make me text you back.
- 1:02:28Speaker 3: I don't even know how to make the emoji's work,
- 1:02:30Speaker 3: that's the problem. I did one that I thought was
- 1:02:33Speaker 3: chocolate pudding for like a good three months until I
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: found out it was not. Yeah, that is not a
- 1:02:38Speaker 3: chocolate pudding emoji. By the way, who puts that kind
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: of an emoji in the emojis.
- 1:02:45Speaker 10: Fun?
- 1:02:46Speaker 5: It's fun.
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: I just figured out what lol means a couple of
- 1:02:49Speaker 3: what I think last year.
- 1:02:51Speaker 5: Now that is sad. That's sad.
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: I thought it meant lots of love, yeah, but it's
- 1:02:57Speaker 3: not yes lots Yeah. Anyway, Josh Jones, we're not even
- 1:03:02Speaker 3: here to talk about this, so we're kind of like
- 1:03:04Speaker 3: double dipping here. But thank you for clearing that up. Actually,
- 1:03:07Speaker 3: I don't think you cleared it up, because.
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: I think I gave a good politician answer on that one.
- 1:03:12Speaker 3: Terrible answer, A terrible answer. All right, Josh, let's talk
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: about what's happening in Virginia. And we're hearing reports of
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: heavy turnout in the rural parts of the state. I'm curious,
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: what are you hearing.
- 1:03:26Speaker 16: Yeah, I've been seeing a lot of the saying that
- 1:03:28Speaker 16: you're just talking about of you have high turnout in
- 1:03:31Speaker 16: rural areas, particularly in these congressional districts that are currently
- 1:03:34Speaker 16: read that would also become blue under this new redistricting.
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: So it's a reason to be optimistic.
- 1:03:40Speaker 16: But the message to any listeners you know in Virginia
- 1:03:42Speaker 16: where if you don't live in Virginia, but you know
- 1:03:44Speaker 16: people that live in Virginia sitting they're on the same
- 1:03:46Speaker 16: side as us, give them a call, tell them to
- 1:03:48Speaker 16: go vote today, and then have them take ten of.
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: Their friends to go vote, because that's the only way
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: we're going to stop this.
- 1:03:53Speaker 3: You know, I thought it was interesting. We had Kelly
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: Sadler on the line. She works for Newsmax. She's a columnusts.
- 1:04:00Speaker 3: She's got boys at in the Fairfax County school system
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: and she said the teachers are basically telling the kids
- 1:04:07Speaker 3: go home, tell your parents to vote yes. So we
- 1:04:09Speaker 3: got the schools that have been weaponized. And I'm wondering
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: if when you look at what's happening there is that
- 1:04:16Speaker 3: going to be And I've had the Republicans done enough
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: to get this across the finish line.
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: I mean, that's the question. The reality is, if you
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: look at.
- 1:04:23Speaker 16: It from just a data standpoint, we've been outspent. Republicans
- 1:04:27Speaker 16: have been outspent big time. Democrats have spent fifty million
- 1:04:31Speaker 16: plus on.
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: This referendum in Virginia.
- 1:04:33Speaker 16: And on top of that, you've had Democrat big wigs
- 1:04:35Speaker 16: coming to town though virtually and in person, when you
- 1:04:38Speaker 16: have Obama cutting ads. Gavin Newsom was here recently, Elizabeth
- 1:04:43Speaker 16: Warren is getting involved in other national figures. So in
- 1:04:46Speaker 16: terms of our ground campaign or at least engaging with
- 1:04:49Speaker 16: their base, Democrats have done a better job.
- 1:04:51Speaker 2: Is that they're going to carry them across the finish line.
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: Who knows, we'll see.
- 1:04:54Speaker 16: Republicans have also put up a fight in an effort,
- 1:04:58Speaker 16: but Democrats have had their nation apparatus get involved to
- 1:05:01Speaker 16: a level that Republicans frankly didn't, and so we'll see
- 1:05:05Speaker 16: how that plays out.
- 1:05:06Speaker 5: You know that it is.
- 1:05:07Speaker 3: Interesting you said that because Sadler was telling us that
- 1:05:10Speaker 3: every other AD is an Obama AD. She hasn't seen
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: any Republican ads at all, and she said, it's almost
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: as if the Republicans have just dropped the ball here.
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: Is that how you would see this? Have the National
- 1:05:21Speaker 3: Republicans just missed an opportunity?
- 1:05:24Speaker 9: I agree?
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: I fully agree.
- 1:05:26Speaker 16: I think the National Republicans have dropped the ball here
- 1:05:28Speaker 16: because if you look at the fundraising numbers two for
- 1:05:31Speaker 16: the NRCC and a lot of other of the committees
- 1:05:33Speaker 16: and national organizations, including President Trump's super Pack, if you
- 1:05:37Speaker 16: combine all of their money, essentially Republicans essentially have on
- 1:05:40Speaker 16: hand nationally speaking, nine hundred million dollars right now, whereas
- 1:05:45Speaker 16: Democrats have roughly three hundred million dollars on hand right now.
- 1:05:49Speaker 16: So I'm a little it's hard for me to understand
- 1:05:54Speaker 16: why the National Republican apparatus didn't get more involved when
- 1:05:57Speaker 16: four seats are at stake for the House of Representatives.
- 1:06:00Speaker 16: Mind you the last three majorities in the House Representatives
- 1:06:02Speaker 16: have been decided by five seats or less. So I mean,
- 1:06:05Speaker 16: this has could determine the control of the House. And
- 1:06:09Speaker 16: if Democrats win, you're just going to see impeachment installing
- 1:06:11Speaker 16: for the next two years. So it is most definitely
- 1:06:14Speaker 16: disappointing that National Republican stin get involved the way they
- 1:06:17Speaker 16: should have.
- 1:06:18Speaker 3: It's just incredibly disturbing. And you're right, it is so frustrating.
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: There are so many people out there giving money to
- 1:06:24Speaker 3: the Republicans and they don't know what that money is
- 1:06:27Speaker 3: being used for. But I you know, we would love
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: to hear from the RNC. They it's almost as if
- 1:06:33Speaker 3: they don't even exist, right, I mean, back when you
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: had Ron Romney McDaniel, at least they were in the
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: news cycle and at least they were doing something.
- 1:06:42Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean to your point, they the National Republicans have,
- 1:06:46Speaker 16: like said before, were largely taken a back seat. Would
- 1:06:50Speaker 16: that determine the outcome of this election?
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: Who knows.
- 1:06:53Speaker 16: I guess we'll find out later tonight. But all that
- 1:06:56Speaker 16: to say, that's a little discouraging news at least on that.
- 1:07:00Speaker 16: But all that to say, if you are a Republican
- 1:07:02Speaker 16: in Virginia or not even if you're a Republican. But
- 1:07:04Speaker 16: as long as you want to stop January Jerry mannering
- 1:07:06Speaker 16: in Virginia, you have to go out and vote no today.
- 1:07:08Speaker 3: So, Josh, when you're looking at the map there in Virginia,
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: if if you have massive turnout in the rural part
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: of the state, which is a large part of the state,
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: is that possible? Will that be enough you think over
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: to overtake all the Democrats in right and around Washington, DC's.
- 1:07:30Speaker 16: You have two paths to victory here for the Republicans
- 1:07:32Speaker 16: and the vote No side of the aisle. Path One
- 1:07:34Speaker 16: is you have really high turnout in rural areas and
- 1:07:37Speaker 16: you have really low turnout in your urban areas, that
- 1:07:40Speaker 16: being Nova, Richmond, and Norfolk. If that happens, there's a
- 1:07:43Speaker 16: path to victory for Republicans later tonight.
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: The other opportunity is.
- 1:07:49Speaker 16: You see high turnout across the board, both in the
- 1:07:51Speaker 16: rural and the urban parts of the state. But Republicans
- 1:07:54Speaker 16: don't have to win northern Virginia. They just have to
- 1:07:56Speaker 16: lose by less. If Republicans can get forty percent roughly
- 1:08:00Speaker 16: speaking of the vote in northern Virginia and still have
- 1:08:03Speaker 16: that high turnout in southwest Virginia and other parts of
- 1:08:06Speaker 16: rural Virginia. Then there's a path of victory because that's
- 1:08:08Speaker 16: exactly what Governor Yunkin did back in twenty twenty one
- 1:08:10Speaker 16: and that's how we won. So that's wheally, the two
- 1:08:13Speaker 16: paths here is hope have low turnout, Republicans have high turnout,
- 1:08:17Speaker 16: or if those high turnout across the board, because I
- 1:08:19Speaker 16: think Republicans are going to have high turnout, particularly today
- 1:08:22Speaker 16: compared to early voting, then we just have to lose
- 1:08:25Speaker 16: by less, essentially in northern Virginia.
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: All right, good stuff. Well, we're going to have you
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: on Newsmax later tonight to help break it all down,
- 1:08:33Speaker 3: and we're gonna get you back on the show tomorrow
- 1:08:35Speaker 3: and just we'll kind of do a debrief on whatever
- 1:08:37Speaker 3: is going to happen tonight. Josh, you'd done a great
- 1:08:40Speaker 3: job and we sure do appreciate your great analysis.
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: Thanks, Dot, I appreciate it. If you're in Virginia, go
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: vote now and.
- 1:08:47Speaker 3: Go text your mom, Josh, go text you vote. All right, Yeah,
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: all right, Josh Stones, everybody, by the way, Dylan, our
- 1:08:55Speaker 3: good friend Vicky Gandy, one of the great realtors in Tennessee,
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: says chocolate pudding. I'm trying to enter my listing on
- 1:09:04Speaker 3: the MLS and I heard you say that twice, and
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: all of a sudden, my brain caught up with what
- 1:09:08Speaker 3: you were talking about. I literally laughed out loud, l ol.
- 1:09:13Speaker 5: But now you know what that means. Now you know
- 1:09:15Speaker 5: what I mean.
- 1:09:16Speaker 3: So the more you know. As they say, nine oh
- 1:09:23Speaker 3: one two six zero five, nine two six, this is
- 1:09:26Speaker 3: the Todd Stern Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. This
- 1:09:38Speaker 3: is the Tod Sterns Radio Show. You know this is interesting.
- 1:09:45Speaker 9: There was a.
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: Linda McMahon who's the Education Secretary, and may I just
- 1:09:51Speaker 3: point out that the Education Department is still intact fully
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: intact in Washington, d C. And has not been dismantled.
- 1:09:59Speaker 3: And until so that happens, we're never going to be
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: able to solve the big problems in our nation. So
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: I really do hope between now and twenty twenty eight,
- 1:10:09Speaker 3: President Trump will be able to dismantle the Department of Education.
- 1:10:14Speaker 3: But anyway, Linda McMahon is making an interesting point here
- 1:10:19Speaker 3: about the lack of patriotism among some of our teachers
- 1:10:23Speaker 3: and administrators take a list and a.
- 1:10:24Speaker 19: Cut for I'll tell you the saddest thing that happened
- 1:10:27Speaker 19: to me relative to any of these tours was it
- 1:10:32Speaker 19: one school that I went to and the principal told
- 1:10:35Speaker 19: me he said, wow, he said, I'm really glad you
- 1:10:38Speaker 19: had the words, you know, to the pledge of allegiance,
- 1:10:41Speaker 19: you know, up on the boards, because I don't think
- 1:10:44Speaker 19: the kids in our school know what they are and
- 1:10:46Speaker 19: they can opt out of saying the pledge of allegiance,
- 1:10:50Speaker 19: And so the school just opted out and they didn't
- 1:10:53Speaker 19: have to say it anymore. I thought, what a comment
- 1:10:57Speaker 19: that is. And this same principle, when when he got
- 1:11:00Speaker 19: up to announce for everyone to stand to say the
- 1:11:03Speaker 19: pledge of allegiance, he said, now understand, you're not pledging
- 1:11:05Speaker 19: allegiance to any particular flag, but it's to a spirit.
- 1:11:08Speaker 19: So you can pledge this allegiance to whatever flag you
- 1:11:11Speaker 19: think is appropriate for you. And I'm gone. How can
- 1:11:16Speaker 19: we really drive home patriotism and love of country and
- 1:11:19Speaker 19: respect for our flag if we actually have teachers and
- 1:11:23Speaker 19: principles who are not encouraging the very basics of what
- 1:11:29Speaker 19: is patriotic in our country.
- 1:11:31Speaker 3: You know, it's really a great question, And I think
- 1:11:35Speaker 3: a great example of that is what just happened in
- 1:11:37Speaker 3: Fairfax County, where the teachers are telling the children tell
- 1:11:40Speaker 3: your parents to go and vote yes. That is really
- 1:11:44Speaker 3: turning your classroom into a propaganda center for far left policies.
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: And there was a time in this country when I mean,
- 1:11:53Speaker 3: I don't remember when I was growing up. I graduated
- 1:11:55Speaker 3: in the mid nineteen eighties, I don't I cannot tell
- 1:11:59Speaker 3: you a single political affiliation of any of my teachers.
- 1:12:04Speaker 3: And I'm sure there were a good many Democrats that
- 1:12:08Speaker 3: taught school at East Saint John the Baptist High School.
- 1:12:12Speaker 3: I'm fairly certain of that, But I never knew that
- 1:12:15Speaker 3: because the teachers kept all of that stuff out of
- 1:12:17Speaker 3: the classroom. Their job was to teach algebra. Their job
- 1:12:22Speaker 3: was to teach biology and show us how to dissect
- 1:12:25Speaker 3: a crawfish. Their job was to teach us drivers' education.
- 1:12:31Speaker 3: That was the role of education back at least in
- 1:12:34Speaker 3: the nineteen eighties. But between the nineteen eighties and where
- 1:12:37Speaker 3: we are today, it's like a whole different world. It's
- 1:12:40Speaker 3: like we're on I don't know, Venus or something or Pluto.
- 1:12:45Speaker 3: So that is a big problem and I think she's
- 1:12:48Speaker 3: onto something here that schools are not about educating kids anymore.
- 1:12:53Speaker 3: It's about really creating this weird, unnatural universe where the
- 1:13:00Speaker 3: children are being confused about their pronouns and they're being
- 1:13:04Speaker 3: taught these ideas about sex and gender that really warp
- 1:13:09Speaker 3: a child's young mind. I mean, they're their brains are
- 1:13:15Speaker 3: not equipped to deal with a lot of the issues
- 1:13:18Speaker 3: that are being brought into the classroom. And then on
- 1:13:21Speaker 3: top of that, you've got teachers that are literally turning
- 1:13:24Speaker 3: these kids against President Trump and against the America First movement.
- 1:13:29Speaker 3: There are teachers that are teaching their kids to hate America,
- 1:13:36Speaker 3: and we've got to do something about that. We have
- 1:13:39Speaker 3: to do something about that. I want to play this
- 1:13:41Speaker 3: audio real quick. This is a grandma thrown out of
- 1:13:44Speaker 3: a public meeting. She was talking to the school board.
- 1:13:49Speaker 3: I want you to take a listen to cut five.
- 1:13:51Speaker 6: Purchase new books.
- 1:13:52Speaker 20: You need to get rid of the five hundred filthy
- 1:13:54Speaker 20: books that you have. I'm going to read one. If
- 1:13:57Speaker 20: there's children in the audience, they need to leave.
- 1:14:00Speaker 21: Man would have ordered this as a public hearing. I
- 1:14:03Speaker 21: understand that you will not be allowed to read things
- 1:14:05Speaker 21: that are not appropriate.
- 1:14:07Speaker 3: Oh not appropriate?
- 1:14:08Speaker 20: Then why are they in your schools? This versing your
- 1:14:12Speaker 20: time is in Debaky for and Heights High School. His
- 1:14:18Speaker 20: was enormous.
- 1:14:20Speaker 21: Absolutely not, ma'am, you are now out of order. This
- 1:14:23Speaker 21: is your first warning. One more word and you will
- 1:14:25Speaker 21: be removed.
- 1:14:27Speaker 22: She wrapped her hand around his absolutely not time sliding officer.
- 1:14:34Speaker 22: Please if you don't like him, and remove it so
- 1:14:37Speaker 22: the children don't have access to it.
- 1:14:45Speaker 3: Grandma talked of dirt being removed, thank you very much.
- 1:14:48Speaker 3: So they literally brought in cops and hauled off the
- 1:14:51Speaker 3: sweet and it's a little grandma. And what was her crime?
- 1:14:53Speaker 3: Her crime was reading from a book that was in
- 1:14:57Speaker 3: the library. Seem to me, if you got a problem
- 1:15:01Speaker 3: with that kind of language, then you gotta get rid
- 1:15:04Speaker 3: of that book. She's a loo or grandma. I wonder
- 1:15:10Speaker 3: if she had to look up some of those words.
- 1:15:12Speaker 3: All right, gotta take a break. Nine oh one two
- 1:15:15Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six. That is our telephone number.
- 1:15:18Speaker 3: Our three of the Big Show coming up, matched.
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.
- 1:15:45Speaker 16: That's this.
- 1:15:49Speaker 3: American to start. Yeah, you know, it's interesting even CNN,
- 1:15:58Speaker 3: the most profane name in you, has has now admitted
- 1:16:03Speaker 3: how crazy this Virginia jerry mandering story has become. It's
- 1:16:10Speaker 3: somewhat hilarious, and it would be somewhat humorous if it
- 1:16:14Speaker 3: was not so serious. And it is a very serious
- 1:16:17Speaker 3: matter for the entire country, the entire nation, the America
- 1:16:20Speaker 3: First Movement, and the president's own agenda. Everything is at
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: stake here in the Commonwealth based on what voters decide,
- 1:16:30Speaker 3: and we will know that later tonight. Welcome everybody our
- 1:16:34Speaker 3: three of the Todd Sterns Radio Show. We've been sort
- 1:16:36Speaker 3: of going wall to wall with this story today because
- 1:16:39Speaker 3: it is so vitally important, and I want to bring
- 1:16:42Speaker 3: into the conversation Joe Thomas, who was the co owner
- 1:16:44Speaker 3: of Thomas Media and wto in Radio, one of our
- 1:16:49Speaker 3: other great affiliates in the Commonwealth. Joe, good to have
- 1:16:53Speaker 3: you with us today. I hope you're doing well, sir.
- 1:16:56Speaker 4: Oh we are doing great. Todd, thank you very much
- 1:16:58Speaker 4: for having us and appreciate the opportunity to share with
- 1:17:03Speaker 4: people exactly what is going on here in the Commonwealth
- 1:17:06Speaker 4: of Virginia.
- 1:17:07Speaker 3: Joe. We heard earlier from from Josh Jones, Art Republican
- 1:17:11Speaker 3: strategist as well as Kelly Sadler, who's a Newsmax host
- 1:17:14Speaker 3: and she lives in Virginia, and both of them were
- 1:17:17Speaker 3: saying that the National Republicans have really dropped the ball
- 1:17:21Speaker 3: here by not you know, sending in financial resources, advertising
- 1:17:26Speaker 3: and marketing. Is that how you see things?
- 1:17:29Speaker 4: Well, they got way behind, and Eric Holder, even at
- 1:17:34Speaker 4: the onset of this, before it even became a thing,
- 1:17:38Speaker 4: gave one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to the Speaker
- 1:17:42Speaker 4: of the Virginia House of Delegates, Don Scott, and then
- 1:17:44Speaker 4: another one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to the Democratic
- 1:17:48Speaker 4: Party of Virginia, and then they called a special session
- 1:17:52Speaker 4: and then they decided to do this referendum, so you
- 1:17:55Speaker 4: do the math on that. And then right during the
- 1:17:59Speaker 4: middle of the line games, they dropped I think twenty
- 1:18:02Speaker 4: million dollars in advertising buys and with very deceptively named
- 1:18:08Speaker 4: websites and groups which sounded very much like conservative groups
- 1:18:14Speaker 4: that had been working in the world of fair elections
- 1:18:18Speaker 4: for some time. So they've been very very disingenuous, very
- 1:18:23Speaker 4: very deceptive in their messaging. Todd, especially in the use
- 1:18:28Speaker 4: of the word fairness. They they wrote fairness into the
- 1:18:31Speaker 4: law itself, and I still don't know how you adjudicate fairness.
- 1:18:38Speaker 4: How do you decide fairness as a matter of law.
- 1:18:41Speaker 3: You know, it's a great question. And again that's one
- 1:18:45Speaker 3: of the reasons why. And I think Glenn Youngkin really
- 1:18:47Speaker 3: appreciate him stepping up and saying, hey, look, vote no.
- 1:18:51Speaker 3: It doesn't matter what don't don't even bother to read it,
- 1:18:54Speaker 3: just vote no. That's what you do going into the
- 1:18:57Speaker 3: ballot box.
- 1:18:58Speaker 4: Well, you know, and a Youngkin stepped in in the
- 1:19:01Speaker 4: last couple of weeks and really put a lot of
- 1:19:03Speaker 4: effort and if there is any money in the coffer
- 1:19:06Speaker 4: of the vote no campaigns, it really has come through
- 1:19:10Speaker 4: Governor Youngkin's effort and his Spirit of Virginia pack. But understand,
- 1:19:16Speaker 4: what would happen here is that you would have four
- 1:19:19Speaker 4: seats that would flip completely to Democrat and then that's
- 1:19:23Speaker 4: for six years. They're going to hold onto those seats
- 1:19:27Speaker 4: as a matter of personal choice. Now, I believe there's
- 1:19:32Speaker 4: some peril in there, but I don't want to get
- 1:19:34Speaker 4: lost in the weeds. As people are turning out to vote,
- 1:19:37Speaker 4: they're telling me that right now we are just slightly
- 1:19:41Speaker 4: behind the early vote count from the gubernatorial race of
- 1:19:46Speaker 4: last year. We should have about one point four million
- 1:19:49Speaker 4: votes cast. We're only going to have about thirty five
- 1:19:54Speaker 4: million or three point five million total. If we're at
- 1:19:57Speaker 4: forty five or fifty percent, all the votes that are
- 1:20:01Speaker 4: going to be cast have already been cast in this election,
- 1:20:05Speaker 4: and that's stunning. It could actually be over fifty percent
- 1:20:09Speaker 4: of the votes came in early for this election, and
- 1:20:13Speaker 4: that's concerning because those always seem to track for the
- 1:20:17Speaker 4: Democrats or in this case, the Vote Yes Party.
- 1:20:21Speaker 3: Joe, I'm wondering here what this will look like. We
- 1:20:26Speaker 3: understand that most of the congressional districts will actually be
- 1:20:30Speaker 3: representing I think really the area around Washington, DC. Is
- 1:20:34Speaker 3: that what you're hearing.
- 1:20:35Speaker 4: Yeah, As a matter of fact, Fairfax County alone will
- 1:20:38Speaker 4: be the home to five distinct congressional districts. So what
- 1:20:43Speaker 4: they've done, Todd, is they've found all the bluest areas
- 1:20:46Speaker 4: of Virginia, which is around Washington, d C. Down through
- 1:20:50Speaker 4: Richmond and in towards Hampton Roads, the Norfolk area, and
- 1:20:54Speaker 4: they've taken those and they've stretched them. If you imagine
- 1:20:57Speaker 4: making like sour dough bread, and you take the dough, oh,
- 1:21:00Speaker 4: and you stretch it as far as you can. They've
- 1:21:03Speaker 4: taken districts that are as a rule, twenty to forty
- 1:21:07Speaker 4: percent more Democrat votes than Republican and stretch them as
- 1:21:12Speaker 4: far west as they can, and now they are about
- 1:21:15Speaker 4: fifty two percent Democrat votes.
- 1:21:18Speaker 13: Now.
- 1:21:19Speaker 4: One of the things that makes Virginia weirder than all
- 1:21:22Speaker 4: the other states that are trying to do redistricting is
- 1:21:25Speaker 4: we don't register by political party, So when they stretch
- 1:21:29Speaker 4: these districts out, they're really guessing it's all based on
- 1:21:33Speaker 4: twenty twenty five scubernatorial turnout. If you go by twenty
- 1:21:38Speaker 4: twenty one when Glen Youngkin won, they actually lose a
- 1:21:42Speaker 4: seat in these stretchings because they've stretched these districts that
- 1:21:46Speaker 4: if Republicans get motivated, they could actually flip one of
- 1:21:50Speaker 4: these seats and wind up with one more seat. If
- 1:21:54Speaker 4: there's a lot of ifs that have to go on.
- 1:21:57Speaker 4: If they're successful today.
- 1:21:58Speaker 3: Well, Joe Thomas joining us from WTON Radio in Virginia.
- 1:22:04Speaker 3: You know, Joe, again, this is going to have national
- 1:22:08Speaker 3: ramifications here and if everybody wins the races, they're supposed
- 1:22:12Speaker 3: to win. It doesn't matter. The Republicans are not going
- 1:22:15Speaker 3: to have the numbers based on what happens in Virginia.
- 1:22:18Speaker 3: I think that's one of the reasons why we need
- 1:22:20Speaker 3: to pay very close attention here to what's happening in
- 1:22:23Speaker 3: the Commonwealth.
- 1:22:24Speaker 4: Well, as soon as Jakeem Jeffries gets the gavel in
- 1:22:28Speaker 4: his hand, the first word out of his mouth is
- 1:22:30Speaker 4: going to be impeachment. They have, at least from what
- 1:22:32Speaker 4: I'm told, four different impeachment proceedings ready to go in
- 1:22:36Speaker 4: the can over President Trump, and their idea is not
- 1:22:40Speaker 4: necessarily to impeach him and remove him from office, but
- 1:22:43Speaker 4: to gum up everything so that nothing moves. There's no
- 1:22:48Speaker 4: judicial nominees, there's no legislation, there's no budgets. It's all
- 1:22:55Speaker 4: just stagnant for two years, and then they'll run against
- 1:22:58Speaker 4: that in twenty two, twenty eight.
- 1:23:01Speaker 3: Wow, all right, this is just insane to me to
- 1:23:05Speaker 3: think this is happening. And again, the amount of money
- 1:23:07Speaker 3: we'd heard reports anywhere from seventy million to ninety two
- 1:23:10Speaker 3: million dollars and dark money funneling into the state, and
- 1:23:15Speaker 3: we're a.
- 1:23:15Speaker 4: Couple of you will blow your mind. So so far
- 1:23:19Speaker 4: it is ninety million dollars have been spent on a referendum.
- 1:23:24Speaker 4: Seventy five percent of that money has gone to the
- 1:23:27Speaker 4: Vote Yes campaign. Out of that, I think it's almost
- 1:23:31Speaker 4: seventy million dollars. Three percent of it came from people
- 1:23:35Speaker 4: inside Virginia. Ninety seven percent of the money behind the
- 1:23:40Speaker 4: Vote Yes campaign has come from somewhere else. So when
- 1:23:43Speaker 4: you talk about it being a national story, apparently vote
- 1:23:46Speaker 4: Yes as an agenda for New Yorkers and Elini and
- 1:23:51Speaker 4: Californians because they have nothing else to do with their
- 1:23:54Speaker 4: money but send it to campaign in Virginia. But that's
- 1:23:57Speaker 4: the power of Barack Obama an Eric Holder, And this
- 1:24:01Speaker 4: has been Eric Holder's baby since he left the Department
- 1:24:04Speaker 4: of Justice. And what was at twenty fifteen when he
- 1:24:08Speaker 4: stepped down as Attorney General. This is what he dove into.
- 1:24:11Speaker 4: This is what he's been doing since he left the
- 1:24:13Speaker 4: Department of Justice is try to jerry mander these congressional
- 1:24:18Speaker 4: districts even without the Trump agenda. And what's going on there.
- 1:24:23Speaker 3: What are you hearing about voter turnout around the state.
- 1:24:27Speaker 4: Well, it's very high in early voting. Like I said,
- 1:24:30Speaker 4: we already have about one point four million votes cast.
- 1:24:35Speaker 4: If it goes like a lot of referendums, we could
- 1:24:37Speaker 4: easily see less than two million total votes cast. The
- 1:24:42Speaker 4: people I've talked to that have been into polling places
- 1:24:45Speaker 4: today have not seen any lines. I talked to one voter.
- 1:24:49Speaker 4: He said he walked in, walked right up to the
- 1:24:53Speaker 4: Officer of Elections, took his ballot, voted, and was back
- 1:24:56Speaker 4: in his car in less than five minutes. So I'm
- 1:25:00Speaker 4: wondering if the energy was all caught up in the
- 1:25:05Speaker 4: in the early voting, and we're going to have to
- 1:25:07Speaker 4: see how this plays out.
- 1:25:08Speaker 16: Now.
- 1:25:09Speaker 4: The upside is it's beautiful weather. There's no excuses in Virginia.
- 1:25:13Speaker 4: It's a little breezy, but it's sunny, there's no rain,
- 1:25:16Speaker 4: there's nothing else to deal with, and the polls are
- 1:25:19Speaker 4: open till seven pm, so there's no excuse. It's your
- 1:25:23Speaker 4: normal polling place, with the exception of a couple of
- 1:25:26Speaker 4: the urban areas that couldn't get the schools lined up
- 1:25:30Speaker 4: for it. But for the most part, it's wherever you
- 1:25:32Speaker 4: normally vote in November, get there and vote.
- 1:25:36Speaker 9: You know.
- 1:25:36Speaker 3: It just seems to me, Joe, that that there's something
- 1:25:40Speaker 3: going on within the Republican world where we've seen so
- 1:25:44Speaker 3: many elections since Trump was inaugurated, and the Republican turnout
- 1:25:49Speaker 3: has been very, very low and unimpressive. And I was
- 1:25:53Speaker 3: looking at I know, in Memphis where I live in
- 1:25:56Speaker 3: Shelby County, we have an election coming up early voting
- 1:25:59Speaker 3: Demo scrants are kicking our butt with it. I mean,
- 1:26:01Speaker 3: it's not even close, and I'm just wondering, what do
- 1:26:04Speaker 3: you think is going on here?
- 1:26:07Speaker 4: Well, it's the same thing that happened to Trump in
- 1:26:10Speaker 4: his first term. They used to call it the Madison Mafia,
- 1:26:13Speaker 4: the rants, previous Paul Ryan Wisconsin never Trumper's embodied by
- 1:26:21Speaker 4: a John Bolton. Let's say, all these folks who went
- 1:26:25Speaker 4: through the Republican machine and understood how the Republican way was,
- 1:26:30Speaker 4: and this guy comes in, wasn't invited, He's bombastic, he's loud,
- 1:26:35Speaker 4: he's all the things that Republicans weren't supposed to be,
- 1:26:38Speaker 4: came in, kicked over all the China, and there has
- 1:26:42Speaker 4: been animous towards him ever since. And this is another
- 1:26:46Speaker 4: instance where people are saying, yeah, I I never liked
- 1:26:50Speaker 4: the guy anyway, and now he's you know, listen to
- 1:26:53Speaker 4: Tucker Carlson apologizing to. I don't even get how he's
- 1:26:57Speaker 4: doing this podcast now with his brother, but he's apologizing
- 1:27:01Speaker 4: for endorsing and campaigning for Trump. I'd like to ask him,
- 1:27:07Speaker 4: what has Trump done that has bothered you. He's ending
- 1:27:10Speaker 4: the oldest war in American history, a war that Thomas
- 1:27:14Speaker 4: Jefferson said we had to engage in. I mean, if
- 1:27:18Speaker 4: Thomas Jefferson was the most pacifist president the United States
- 1:27:23Speaker 4: has ever had, and even he said that we probably
- 1:27:26Speaker 4: are going to have to end this conflict with the
- 1:27:29Speaker 4: Barbary pirates with a war. And since then, we've just
- 1:27:33Speaker 4: ignored that three hundred pound gorilla in the room. It's
- 1:27:36Speaker 4: manifest in Iran. Trump took it on and everyone's freaking
- 1:27:41Speaker 4: out about it because I think this isn't what they wanted.
- 1:27:46Speaker 4: I think, you know, my listeners feel like this is
- 1:27:48Speaker 4: like World Wrestling Federation stuff where it's Randy Savage versus
- 1:27:53Speaker 4: Hull Cogan and they're out to dinner with each other
- 1:27:56Speaker 4: every night, but they really don't, you know, but they
- 1:27:58Speaker 4: play that they hate each other squared circle, because that's
- 1:28:02Speaker 4: what these Republicans and Democrats seem like they are playing at.
- 1:28:05Speaker 3: Interesting all right, Joe, we're gonna have to leave it there.
- 1:28:07Speaker 3: We're super late for a break and all right, you
- 1:28:09Speaker 3: know how that goes in our business. My friend, uh yep,
- 1:28:12Speaker 3: Joe all eyes on Virginia tonight. I know you're gonna
- 1:28:16Speaker 3: have a busy day and we should appreciate your great stuff,
- 1:28:19Speaker 3: your your great work.
- 1:28:21Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you, Todd.
- 1:28:22Speaker 3: All right, Joe Thomas, co owner of Thomas Media, WTO
- 1:28:26Speaker 3: and Radio. They're in Staunton in Virginia. By the way,
- 1:28:31Speaker 3: those numbers, you folks in Memphis, what's going on here?
- 1:28:34Speaker 3: Early voting numbers? They update these every day. So far
- 1:28:38Speaker 3: Democrats over eighty four hundred votes, Republicans twenty one hundred.
- 1:28:46Speaker 3: That is not looking good. That trend is not looking
- 1:28:49Speaker 3: good for the Republicans there. All right, nine oh one
- 1:28:52Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six. Our telephone number,
- 1:28:55Speaker 3: that's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 1:28:58Speaker 3: This is the Todd Sterns Show. All right, welcome back, everybody.
- 1:29:15Speaker 3: This is the Ton Sterns Radio Show. You know something
- 1:29:18Speaker 3: that really bothered me yesterday we had the lieutenant governor
- 1:29:20Speaker 3: of Indiana on the show, Mica Beckwith is his name,
- 1:29:25Speaker 3: and great guy, great guy, doing a good job there
- 1:29:28Speaker 3: in Indiana, and he was invited to speak at this
- 1:29:31Speaker 3: high school. They were doing some sort of a career fair,
- 1:29:33Speaker 3: career day thing, and the after his remarks, they had
- 1:29:38Speaker 3: some free time and a gaggle of these little radical
- 1:29:43Speaker 3: leftist wannabes, you know, they came, you know, it was
- 1:29:47Speaker 3: a bee line, and they came to the Lieutenant governor
- 1:29:51Speaker 3: rabble rousers, and the lieutenant governor, being a gentleman, extended
- 1:29:57Speaker 3: his hand to greet one of them, and the teenage refused,
- 1:30:01Speaker 3: said it would not shake the hand of someone that
- 1:30:02Speaker 3: he did not respect. And then apparently they started like
- 1:30:07Speaker 3: peppering with all of these offensive, nasty questions and just
- 1:30:11Speaker 3: basically being what is the clinical term butt heads, That's
- 1:30:16Speaker 3: exactly what they were doing. And I know the Lieutenant
- 1:30:19Speaker 3: Governor was talking about this yesterday and he seemed to,
- 1:30:22Speaker 3: you know, brush it off, and it was like, you know,
- 1:30:24Speaker 3: they're kids, and I get it. I don't get it.
- 1:30:26Speaker 3: I don't get it one bit. I mean back when
- 1:30:30Speaker 3: I was in school, and this goes through my entire
- 1:30:33Speaker 3: school career. So you look at nineteen eighty five, I
- 1:30:36Speaker 3: graduated high school back in the dark ages even then,
- 1:30:43Speaker 3: never in a million years would you have thought, as
- 1:30:46Speaker 3: a young person to disrespect an elder, to disrespect an adult,
- 1:30:51Speaker 3: and especially an elected official, especially an invited special guest
- 1:30:56Speaker 3: to the school. And all I'm telling you is this,
- 1:31:01Speaker 3: had that would have Had that have happened, I guarantee
- 1:31:03Speaker 3: you it would have resulted in a trip to the
- 1:31:05Speaker 3: principal's office and a meeting with the principal, mister Ferguson
- 1:31:10Speaker 3: at the time, his board of Education. I'll tell you what.
- 1:31:14Speaker 3: Nobody wanted to meet the board of Education. But I
- 1:31:18Speaker 3: will say this, there's nothing better than a fiberglass panel
- 1:31:22Speaker 3: with holes drilled right through it to knock out the
- 1:31:27Speaker 3: Trump arrangement syndrome out of one of those woke kids.
- 1:31:30Speaker 3: You know what I'm talking about. I'm just telling you.
- 1:31:33Speaker 3: I just it's overwhelming that these kids. I know, one
- 1:31:36Speaker 3: of the teachers came over and told the Lieutenant governor,
- 1:31:39Speaker 3: you know, we're really I'm really sorry you just had
- 1:31:42Speaker 3: to deal with that. Forget that. Why Why didn't the
- 1:31:45Speaker 3: teacher go over to those little godless heathen urchins, snatch
- 1:31:50Speaker 3: them up by the collar and drag them to the
- 1:31:52Speaker 3: Principal's office. I don't know about you, but I am
- 1:31:57Speaker 3: I am over. I am over with this world that
- 1:32:02Speaker 3: we live in where everybody's afraid of the kids. Well,
- 1:32:06Speaker 3: they're just God's precious little children. They're sweet little angels, Todd,
- 1:32:11Speaker 3: they're just children. No, they're godless heathens. And I say,
- 1:32:17Speaker 3: pull out that board of education, mister principal and save America.
- 1:32:22Speaker 3: You want to talk about saving America, let's do that.
- 1:32:26Speaker 3: Bring back corporal punishment into these schools. Or better yet,
- 1:32:30Speaker 3: all you parents, how dare you? Who do you think
- 1:32:33Speaker 3: you are? Having? A principal spank my child? Don't you
- 1:32:38Speaker 3: touch my sweet little innocent boy?
- 1:32:41Speaker 21: How dare you?
- 1:32:44Speaker 17: Well?
- 1:32:45Speaker 3: Fine, you know what, ma'am, you come to the principal's
- 1:32:47Speaker 3: office and we'll give you the panel. Well, that's really
- 1:32:51Speaker 3: the big problem is that parents just aren't they're not
- 1:32:53Speaker 3: disciplining their kids. There the kids now think they're in charge,
- 1:32:58Speaker 3: and that's because they are. And I understand I know
- 1:33:03Speaker 3: a lot of you people get all round there there
- 1:33:05Speaker 3: go starrings talking about corporal punishment. Again, it's just child abuses.
- 1:33:09Speaker 9: What it is?
- 1:33:10Speaker 3: Really, Well, what about adult abuse? Because that's what those
- 1:33:12Speaker 3: kids are doing to us. Have you seen these mobs
- 1:33:15Speaker 3: of teenagers running around shooting people. That's all over the place. Charlotte,
- 1:33:19Speaker 3: North Carolina, Raleigh, Norford, Virginia, Memphis, Tennessee, Houston, Texas, Miami, Florida, Orlando, Memphis,
- 1:33:26Speaker 3: Tennessee again, Nashville, Memphis again, what is Washington, DC? Chicago,
- 1:33:33Speaker 3: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Memphis again. I mean, at what
- 1:33:37Speaker 3: point do you say, to hell with that? Get me
- 1:33:40Speaker 3: the belt. I think you have to use the belt
- 1:33:44Speaker 3: because there aren't enough hickory switches to go around. That
- 1:33:46Speaker 3: might cause a problem. All right, nine oh one two
- 1:33:49Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six hour telephone number. That's
- 1:33:52Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 1:33:55Speaker 3: This is the Tod Starn Show, Dylan. There is a
- 1:34:15Speaker 3: story out of West Memphis, Arkansas, and I'm fascinated by
- 1:34:20Speaker 3: this story. There's a middle school teacher over there. And
- 1:34:23Speaker 3: apparently there have been a couple of big stories in
- 1:34:26Speaker 3: the news lately. In McNary County, Tennessee, a lunch lady
- 1:34:31Speaker 3: has been arrested for assaulting a fifteen year old. The
- 1:34:36Speaker 3: young man says that he was just minding his own business.
- 1:34:41Speaker 3: I was just in the lunch room and I said, hello,
- 1:34:44Speaker 3: miss lunch lady, what's for lunch? Today and then all
- 1:34:48Speaker 3: of a sudden, he says, she hit me for no
- 1:34:50Speaker 3: reason at all. I just got hit. The police said
- 1:34:56Speaker 3: that the child did not have any visible injuries. The woman,
- 1:35:01Speaker 3: the lunch lady, got arrested though, and said that she's
- 1:35:05Speaker 3: they were the accuser of hitting the student on the
- 1:35:08Speaker 3: back of the head. There is video surveillance. I want
- 1:35:11Speaker 3: to know what led to that. Do you really think
- 1:35:13Speaker 3: telling that the sweet lunch lady slopping down whatever that is,
- 1:35:18Speaker 3: the mystery meets on the on the trays and the
- 1:35:22Speaker 3: caffeine gymnaitorium. Do you think she just just randomly just
- 1:35:25Speaker 3: smacked a keet upside the head.
- 1:35:27Speaker 5: It depends on how grateful or ungrateful he was for
- 1:35:30Speaker 5: the slop.
- 1:35:33Speaker 3: Holy cow, that's just I can't fell it. It's yeah,
- 1:35:37Speaker 3: I heard waffle houses, waffle house or the caffeine gymnatorium.
- 1:35:44Speaker 3: Ah boy. So here's there's another story here. And I
- 1:35:49Speaker 3: just love the headline of the story. I'm not your bra.
- 1:35:53Speaker 3: I'm not your bra. That's like brother. I think that
- 1:35:56Speaker 3: slang for brother. I'm not your bro.
- 1:35:59Speaker 9: All right.
- 1:35:59Speaker 3: So this involves a black teacher and a black student
- 1:36:05Speaker 3: in West Memphis, Arkansas. The this is Wonder Junior High
- 1:36:11Speaker 3: School from Channel three w r e G TV. Tracy Matthews,
- 1:36:18Speaker 3: a fifty six year old teacher at Wonder Junior High School,
- 1:36:21Speaker 3: faces an aggravated assault charge for putting his hands on
- 1:36:24Speaker 3: a student. The police say it happened inside a classroom
- 1:36:28Speaker 3: was all captured on surveillance video. Damn that video. I'm
- 1:36:35Speaker 3: just here's the thing I want to I want to get.
- 1:36:37Speaker 3: I want to get to I want to get to
- 1:36:39Speaker 3: the end of it. Hold on, here we go, and
- 1:36:41Speaker 3: then I have a thought. So according to the police report,
- 1:36:44Speaker 3: it all started out when the student went up to
- 1:36:46Speaker 3: the teacher and says, bruh, I don't have a computer.
- 1:36:51Speaker 3: And the teacher said I'm not your bro, I'm your sir.
- 1:36:56Speaker 3: And then the kid replied, ibad little bra and that's
- 1:37:03Speaker 3: when the teacher grabbed the student by his shirt and
- 1:37:06Speaker 3: pushed him against the desk. How much you want to
- 1:37:10Speaker 3: bet the kid called him sir, Yeah, he's sir now.
- 1:37:16Speaker 3: The police report shows. The student then walked out and
- 1:37:20Speaker 3: was followed by Matthews, who grabbed him by his neck,
- 1:37:23Speaker 3: pushed him against the wall, and choked him, making it
- 1:37:25Speaker 3: hard for him to breathe no I think he was
- 1:37:28Speaker 3: making it hard for the kid to say, bra yo,
- 1:37:31Speaker 3: bra man, you're choking me. Bruh.
- 1:37:34Speaker 5: This would have been fine when I was in high school.
- 1:37:36Speaker 3: By the way, the West Memphis School District says it's
- 1:37:41Speaker 3: aware of the isolated incident and appreciates its partnership with
- 1:37:44Speaker 3: the police department. No word on whether or not the
- 1:37:50Speaker 3: guy still has a job there. You know what I
- 1:37:54Speaker 3: this is why I cannot be a teacher because I
- 1:37:56Speaker 3: wouldn't I wouldn't be that guy. I mean, this is
- 1:37:59Speaker 3: what the lack of disrespect.
- 1:38:02Speaker 5: Well, now you see people students going around filming themselves
- 1:38:06Speaker 5: calling their teachers by their first name. It's like the
- 1:38:09Speaker 5: most disrespectful thing because it's not you're not calling her
- 1:38:12Speaker 5: Kathy's she's miss whatever.
- 1:38:14Speaker 3: Yeah, I you know what I I this would not
- 1:38:17Speaker 3: be an issue what that teacher did would not have
- 1:38:19Speaker 3: been an issue back when I was growing up.
- 1:38:21Speaker 5: Oh no, no, no, I mean some of my teachers
- 1:38:24Speaker 5: had paddles in the room, so they would take care
- 1:38:26Speaker 5: of it before you even got to the principal's office.
- 1:38:29Speaker 3: So your grandfather, who is my great my dear uncle.
- 1:38:32Speaker 3: He's not my great uncle, he's you know, just regular uncle,
- 1:38:35Speaker 3: but there's uncles and the great uncles. But so he's
- 1:38:38Speaker 3: my uncle, my dad's brother, and Uncle Jerry helped frame
- 1:38:42Speaker 3: all of my political beliefs, which explains a lot. So
- 1:38:46Speaker 3: your grandpa was very influential and crafting my political ideology.
- 1:38:51Speaker 5: My work here that at the Thanksgiving table. By the way,
- 1:38:54Speaker 5: yas are mirrors sometimes. Yeah.
- 1:38:57Speaker 3: So anyway, Uncle Jerry after he he worked for years
- 1:39:01Speaker 3: at MLGW Memphis like gas and water, and then he,
- 1:39:06Speaker 3: you know, he retired and he said, I'm bored, so
- 1:39:09Speaker 3: he decided to go teach school. And I don't know
- 1:39:11Speaker 3: if you've ever heard this story, but your uncle Jerry
- 1:39:14Speaker 3: also loves guns. Your grandpa. Yeah, Uncle Jerry loves loved guns.
- 1:39:19Speaker 3: He had an arsenal, Yes he did. I mean, by
- 1:39:22Speaker 3: the way, when I oh, I didn't know we had knives.
- 1:39:24Speaker 5: Oh yeah.
- 1:39:25Speaker 3: So when I moved back, why I didn't move back.
- 1:39:27Speaker 3: When I was flying back the Fox, you sent me
- 1:39:29Speaker 3: down to cover or something at Graceland. This was like
- 1:39:32Speaker 3: fifteen fifteen, twenty years ago, and I land at Memphis
- 1:39:35Speaker 3: International and Uncle Jerry said, you're not going over to
- 1:39:38Speaker 3: Graceland because it's a it's in a rough neighborhood. He says,
- 1:39:41Speaker 3: did you bring a gun. I'm like, I can't bring
- 1:39:44Speaker 3: a gun on a plane. He goes, no problem, he says, Esterlinn,
- 1:39:47Speaker 3: that's your grandma. Esterlinn, give him one of yours. And
- 1:39:50Speaker 3: so your grandma pulled a gun out of her person.
- 1:39:52Speaker 3: And I'm like, Uncle Jerry, I don't need a gun.
- 1:39:54Speaker 3: He goes, you gotta have a gun. He was really
- 1:39:56Speaker 3: concerned about my way out for you. He was, I mean,
- 1:40:00Speaker 3: and what any uncle would do. So anyway, he told
- 1:40:03Speaker 3: me a story about after he retired from MLGW, he
- 1:40:08Speaker 3: went to teach school at one of the high schools
- 1:40:12Speaker 3: in North Mississippi, and he talked, I think in a
- 1:40:16Speaker 3: shop class or something like that. And so some of
- 1:40:18Speaker 3: the students were a little rough and tumble, and so
- 1:40:21Speaker 3: one day Uncle Jerry was and this was back this
- 1:40:26Speaker 3: may have been in the ninety nineteen nineties, one day
- 1:40:30Speaker 3: a student got really upset and told Uncle Jerry, I'm
- 1:40:35Speaker 3: going to go out to my car and get my
- 1:40:37Speaker 3: gun and I'm going to shoot you. Uncle Jerry, who
- 1:40:41Speaker 3: was standing by his desk as he tells the story,
- 1:40:45Speaker 3: put his foot up on the desk and exposed his ankle,
- 1:40:50Speaker 3: and he was packing heat in the classroom, and Uncle
- 1:40:53Speaker 3: Jerry told the student, well, what makes you think you're
- 1:40:56Speaker 3: going to make it to your car? And then then
- 1:41:00Speaker 3: told me to sit back down.
- 1:41:01Speaker 5: Yeah that I can totally see that happening right now.
- 1:41:04Speaker 5: That's that's amazing. It was back in the good old days,
- 1:41:07Speaker 5: back when you can do that. You could do that
- 1:41:09Speaker 5: kind of you can shoot a student. Well, he back
- 1:41:13Speaker 5: talked to me. What was I gonna do.
- 1:41:18Speaker 3: To the go to the student nurse, Go to the nurse?
- 1:41:23Speaker 3: Oh my word? All right? Uh, nine oh one two

- 1:41:32Speaker 3: You don't want to mess with those shop class guys.
- 1:41:34Speaker 3: I mean they were they are hardcore. Okay, let's go
- 1:41:40Speaker 3: to Pastor John in Kentucky. What's on your mind?
- 1:41:46Speaker 23: First thing is gonna be first of all, I hope
- 1:41:48Speaker 23: you had a nice sister. I've got two points to
- 1:41:50Speaker 23: make real quick. I got a First of all, I'm
- 1:41:52Speaker 23: gonna tell you a really bad dad joke, and then
- 1:41:53Speaker 23: I want to tell you a comical moment, uh concerning
- 1:41:56Speaker 23: uh this unruly kid Todd.
- 1:41:59Speaker 14: Did you hear that?
- 1:42:00Speaker 23: Peter cottontail has left being an easter bunny.
- 1:42:03Speaker 3: I had not heard that news. No, not at all.
- 1:42:05Speaker 23: Yeah, he decided to become a therapist, he said, hop
- 1:42:08Speaker 23: on in, I'm all ears.
- 1:42:11Speaker 17: Okay, yeah, thanks, sorry, Pat you okay, okay.
- 1:42:18Speaker 23: The second thing is, do you remember during the Black
- 1:42:21Speaker 23: Lives Matter protest? This kid, this this black kid, he
- 1:42:24Speaker 23: had a mask on, and all of a sudden you
- 1:42:26Speaker 23: see this angry woman come up and start smacking him
- 1:42:28Speaker 23: up on the back of the head, pull his mask off.
- 1:42:30Speaker 23: He says, you guys, you words. I thought you said
- 1:42:33Speaker 23: you were in school, and she proceeded to beat the
- 1:42:35Speaker 23: tar out of him as she was taking him home.
- 1:42:38Speaker 3: Do you remember that, bo, Yes, yes, I do remember that. America.
- 1:42:43Speaker 23: He became America's mom. She became America's mom. So I
- 1:42:47Speaker 23: just wanted to hear your point on that, especially when
- 1:42:48Speaker 23: you're dealing with unruly kids today. But I'll just hang
- 1:42:51Speaker 23: up and listen for your comment. Tod Hope you love the.
- 1:42:52Speaker 3: Dad joke, Love you, brother, well, thank you, thank you, pastor. No, look,
- 1:42:56Speaker 3: I will I will say this. There was a time
- 1:42:59Speaker 3: when as as much as we feared our principal, I mean,
- 1:43:02Speaker 3: you feared your teacher, but your teacher could still be
- 1:43:05Speaker 3: nice with you. You you were terrified of your principle, right,
- 1:43:09Speaker 3: because you didn't know that was like going to a dungeon.
- 1:43:12Speaker 3: But if you got in trouble at school, you were
- 1:43:16Speaker 3: more concerned with your well being once you got back
- 1:43:19Speaker 3: home because you never wanted to you know, you never
- 1:43:22Speaker 3: wanted to embarrass the family, right, And so that's a
- 1:43:25Speaker 3: lot of parents used to raise their kids like that.
- 1:43:27Speaker 3: You know what, don't embarrass the family, don't embarrass the family. Yeah,
- 1:43:32Speaker 3: it's true. Uh, nine oh one two six zero five
- 1:43:36Speaker 3: nine two six is our telephone number. That's nine oh
- 1:43:38Speaker 3: one two six zero five nine two six. I think, now, Dylan,
- 1:43:43Speaker 3: they have like little rooms, you know, safe rooms. I
- 1:43:46Speaker 3: don't think do they really suspend people anymore?
- 1:43:48Speaker 5: I don't even know that's it's just maybe a slap
- 1:43:51Speaker 5: on the hand, like virtually.
- 1:43:52Speaker 3: We used to love that, right, get suspended, stay home possibility,
- 1:43:56Speaker 3: My gosh, watch the prices right, my goodness, we only
- 1:44:00Speaker 3: had like four channels back and then nobody watched BBS.
- 1:44:05Speaker 5: I got suspended once, Todd, what I am?
- 1:44:10Speaker 3: No, I don't know this.
- 1:44:11Speaker 5: So I was an artist, an amateur artist, growing up
- 1:44:15Speaker 5: and I was into drawing guns, very detailed guns. And
- 1:44:20Speaker 5: the night before my parents and this is the problem.
- 1:44:23Speaker 5: They told me, this is a good drawing of a gun,
- 1:44:26Speaker 5: but don't bring it to school. So I said, okay,
- 1:44:28Speaker 5: but sneakily I put it in my backpack because I
- 1:44:30Speaker 5: wanted my friends to see it. So next day I
- 1:44:33Speaker 5: bring it to school. Teacher confiscates it. I get in trouble.
- 1:44:36Speaker 5: I go to the principal's office and the worst part
- 1:44:39Speaker 5: of the whole thing was they said they're going to
- 1:44:41Speaker 5: call my mom. And that's when things took a turn,
- 1:44:44Speaker 5: because I was like, all right, this is gonna be
- 1:44:46Speaker 5: worse than anything that you could possibly do to me.
- 1:44:49Speaker 5: And and sure enough they called them. I got suspended.
- 1:44:52Speaker 5: I got sent to this room where I had to
- 1:44:54Speaker 5: write on a piece of paper, I will not draw
- 1:44:56Speaker 5: a gun in class.
- 1:44:58Speaker 3: I will not shoot up my glass room.
- 1:45:02Speaker 5: Keep in mind, this is like after you know, all
- 1:45:04Speaker 5: the you know, Columbine and all the Sandy Hooks, Like
- 1:45:07Speaker 5: this is after that, so they're all, you know, they're
- 1:45:10Speaker 5: all aware of what could happen.
- 1:45:12Speaker 3: Now I know, I remember the story now only because
- 1:45:16Speaker 3: I told you, your parents, you have got to let
- 1:45:19Speaker 3: us blow this up at Fox deears, yes, we will
- 1:45:21Speaker 3: go to war, and they're like.
- 1:45:23Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, you know no.
- 1:45:25Speaker 5: I was in so much. I was in worse trouble
- 1:45:27Speaker 5: at home.
- 1:45:28Speaker 3: Really, so you got in trouble at home?
- 1:45:30Speaker 5: Yeah, so I got to draw still, but all of
- 1:45:32Speaker 5: my devices were taken away. I was spanked like all
- 1:45:36Speaker 5: the nines. It was terrible. I never drew a gun again.
- 1:45:39Speaker 3: I bet you did.
- 1:45:40Speaker 5: Yeah, I hate heart.
- 1:45:43Speaker 3: It's what could have been? What could have you could
- 1:45:45Speaker 3: have been the next Picassa. I could have a man.
- 1:45:48Speaker 3: I had no idea. I'm just telling you that you're
- 1:45:52Speaker 3: not your child's friend. You're not supposed to be your
- 1:45:55Speaker 3: child's best friend. You're supposed to be the child's parent. Right,
- 1:45:58Speaker 3: put the fear of the Good Lord. I mean, that's
- 1:46:00Speaker 3: the whole point of being a parent, more or less.
- 1:46:04Speaker 3: All right, we got to take a break here at
