- 0:26Speaker 3: All right, hello, everybody, welcome, Welcome to the Todd Stearns
- 0:30Speaker 3: Radio program. So happy to have you with us today.
- 0:34Speaker 3: And we've got a lot of news, a lot of
- 0:36Speaker 3: ground to cover. By the way, our telephone number, write
- 0:39Speaker 3: this number down. I want you to call in today
- 0:42Speaker 3: and participate in the show. Nine oh one two six
- 0:45Speaker 3: zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one two
- 0:49Speaker 3: six zero five, nine two six. So an interesting little
- 0:54Speaker 3: update here for you, and it involves the former First
- 0:58Speaker 3: Lady of these great United States, the doctor missus first Lady,
- 1:03Speaker 3: Joe Biden, the fake doctor who has always just she's
- 1:10Speaker 3: always rubbed me the wrong way. Ladies and gentlemen. That
- 1:14Speaker 3: the whole thing, the relationship. You know, she used to
- 1:17Speaker 3: be Biden's babysitter. Then they hooked up and you know,
- 1:22Speaker 3: the rest is history there. That was just a weird relationship.
- 1:26Speaker 3: But it was very clear to me that this woman
- 1:28Speaker 3: is like a cruella. She is an evil villain person
- 1:32Speaker 3: and her husband, no matter what you think about Joe
- 1:35Speaker 3: Biden during his presidency, that guy as we say here
- 1:39Speaker 3: in Tennessee where we broadcast our radio program from, Joe
- 1:43Speaker 3: Biden's cheese had done slid off his cracker. And we
- 1:46Speaker 3: all knew this. I mean, anybody who could anybody who
- 1:50Speaker 3: had eyes to see and ears to hear, knew this
- 1:53Speaker 3: guy was not all there. The front porch light was on,
- 1:58Speaker 3: but nobody was home. And we heard the reports of
- 2:04Speaker 3: Joe Biden wandering around the White House only wearing a bathrobe,
- 2:09Speaker 3: mumbling to himself, eating ice cream the vanilla ice cream
- 2:13Speaker 3: out of the White House refrigerator.
- 2:16Speaker 4: There.
- 2:16Speaker 3: I mean, there's some really strange things going on. And
- 2:20Speaker 3: Jake Tampa over at CNN wrote a book about all
- 2:23Speaker 3: of this, and they said everybody knew it. Everybody knew it.
- 2:26Speaker 3: They were out there on national TV attacking any conservative
- 2:29Speaker 3: who said that Biden was just mentally not there, and
- 2:34Speaker 3: the media bought it. The media played along, and they
- 2:37Speaker 3: were complicit in the cover up of Joe Biden's health.
- 2:42Speaker 3: And now we know, beyond a shadow of a doubt
- 2:45Speaker 3: that Joe Biden was also responsible. So on Sunday, she's sitting,
- 2:51Speaker 3: she's they're gonna be broadcasting interviews. So they pre taped
- 2:54Speaker 3: an interview with CBS News. The entire interview will air Sunday,
- 2:59Speaker 3: but Jill Biden has now admitted that after that last
- 3:06Speaker 3: presidential debate, the one where Biden just started like whispering
- 3:10Speaker 3: and then mumbling and just got lost on stage, Jill
- 3:14Speaker 3: Biden actually thought that her husband was having a stroke.
- 3:20Speaker 3: Take a listen to twenty seven.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Were you horrified as you saw it unfold? I wasn't horrified.
- 3:28Speaker 5: I was frightened because I had never ever seen Joe
- 3:34Speaker 5: like that with.
- 3:36Speaker 6: The COVID, I excuse me, with dealing with everything we
- 3:40Speaker 6: have to do with Look if we finally beat medicare.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Thank you President Biden?
- 3:50Speaker 7: Before or since?
- 3:53Speaker 8: Never?
- 3:53Speaker 9: Since?
- 3:54Speaker 2: Yes? Or have I never seen?
- 3:56Speaker 10: Never?
- 3:57Speaker 3: No?
- 3:58Speaker 2: Welly haven't. I don't know what happened.
- 4:01Speaker 5: I mean when I as I watched it, I thought,
- 4:03Speaker 5: oh my god, he's having a stroke, and it scared
- 4:06Speaker 5: me to death.
- 4:07Speaker 11: Joe, you did such a great job.
- 4:09Speaker 5: You answered every question you all.
- 4:16Speaker 11: Harry asked the crowd, what did Trump do?
- 4:21Speaker 12: He kicked my husband's ass?
- 4:25Speaker 6: That wrinkly oldas it?
- 4:28Speaker 2: Wow?
- 4:29Speaker 3: So that was Joe Biden. So she's saying, now, if
- 4:32Speaker 3: you believe what Joe Biden said, she's there and she's
- 4:37Speaker 3: watching the debate and she's like, oh my god, my
- 4:41Speaker 3: husband is having a stroke. And then immediately after that
- 4:45Speaker 3: she goes out there and she was like, four more,
- 4:51Speaker 3: you did great, honey. Wipe that drool off your face, darling.
- 4:58Speaker 3: This is insane. This woman is evil. I am telling you.
- 5:02Speaker 3: Between she and I think she and Hunter and cahoots
- 5:06Speaker 3: and they knew that Joe Biden was their lifeline, that
- 5:11Speaker 3: without Joe Biden they were gonna get stuck shipped back
- 5:14Speaker 3: to Delaware and that was the end of it. But
- 5:18Speaker 3: Joe Biden, she loved all of the attention and the
- 5:21Speaker 3: photo shoots and the servants. She loved the power. I
- 5:27Speaker 3: don't think she loved this, man, I really don't. I
- 5:29Speaker 3: don't think she and I just I think she sees
- 5:34Speaker 3: Joe Biden as a meal ticket. And by the way,
- 5:37Speaker 3: everybody everybody knew. As a matter of fact, here is
- 5:42Speaker 3: Jamelle Hill. She is the former what was her title,
- 5:47Speaker 3: the chief racist at ESPN. Here she is on CNN
- 5:53Speaker 3: just last night, cut twenty three.
- 5:55Speaker 13: Man, when you a lot of people right to their face,
- 5:58Speaker 13: they have a tendency to not trust you. And you
- 6:00Speaker 13: know a lot of people knew something was wrong with
- 6:03Speaker 13: Joe Biden. I went to a dinner in Detroit, in
- 6:06Speaker 13: AACP dinner. He was the guest speaker. His speech was great,
- 6:10Speaker 13: but seeing him just make the walk to the stage,
- 6:12Speaker 13: I was concerned. I was like, Hey, this dude doesn't
- 6:15Speaker 13: look right. But I would say that, especially now as
- 6:19Speaker 13: we're looking at a president who often showcases that he
- 6:21Speaker 13: is unwell, that we need to apply those same questions
- 6:24Speaker 13: that a lot of people had.
- 6:25Speaker 5: Then.
- 6:26Speaker 13: People had the right to wonder about Joe Biden's health
- 6:29Speaker 13: after seeing that debate, and those questions were fair and
- 6:32Speaker 13: they were legitimate. I think the problem is that now
- 6:35Speaker 13: those same questions aren't being asked, even though we're seeing
- 6:38Speaker 13: things that are just as concerning, if not worse.
- 6:41Speaker 3: What you're talking about, Jabel Hill, What you're talking about? Woman,
- 6:46Speaker 3: Who will you be talking about now? Jameel Hill is
- 6:49Speaker 3: out there saying, well, President Trump, you know, oh yeah,
- 6:53Speaker 3: of course we covered up Joe Biden. But President Trump?
- 6:55Speaker 3: What about President Trump? President Trump is healthy as ourse,
- 6:59Speaker 3: ladies and John. When you see the President of the
- 7:01Speaker 3: United States out there, he's taking he's taking questions out
- 7:06Speaker 3: the wazoo from the media. None of them have to
- 7:09Speaker 3: be turned in to be pre approved, which, by the way,
- 7:13Speaker 3: was the rule of the Biden White House. Everything any
- 7:16Speaker 3: question that was asked, it had to be written down
- 7:20Speaker 3: and approved before you could ask the question. That's not
- 7:24Speaker 3: how it is with Donald Trump. And I'm just asking you,
- 7:26Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen, because that's the argument they're making now.
- 7:29Speaker 3: They want you to believe that that President Trump is
- 7:33Speaker 3: having mental slippage, and I don't. I don't see it.
- 7:38Speaker 3: I don't see it at all. Do you see it?
- 7:40Speaker 3: Because I certainly don't see it. But I can tell
- 7:43Speaker 3: you during the Biden administration, we had many many nurses
- 7:46Speaker 3: calling in and saying, hey, look, Joe Biden has classic
- 7:49Speaker 3: symptoms of dementia. Joe Biden has very serious medical issues.
- 7:57Speaker 3: But Donald Trump, I mean, the guy's out there playing
- 7:59Speaker 3: golf off, he's getting three hours of sleep a night,
- 8:05Speaker 3: and he's giving speeches. He's talking to the media just
- 8:09Speaker 3: about every day, multiple times a day. I just don't
- 8:12Speaker 3: get where people like Jamel Hill, the former ESPN racist
- 8:18Speaker 3: is has a point. I just do not see that.
- 8:21Speaker 3: So anyway, then CNN Ammy Phillip, she was very upset
- 8:27Speaker 3: over the DNC because you know, they just released the
- 8:30Speaker 3: autopsy of why Kamala Harris lost the race, and I
- 8:34Speaker 3: would have done it. I don't know how many millions
- 8:36Speaker 3: of dollars they spend on that I have done it.
- 8:38Speaker 3: I would have done it for free. I would have.
- 8:41Speaker 3: But anyway, she said, well, wait a second, how come
- 8:44Speaker 3: there was nothing in there about covering up Joe Biden's
- 8:46Speaker 3: declining health. Take a listen to top twenty.
- 8:49Speaker 14: I appreciate that we now get to see at least
- 8:54Speaker 14: some version of a truth that she's putting out there,
- 8:57Speaker 14: because I think, Yeah, the conversation should be had about
- 9:01Speaker 14: the deceptiveness I think that was behind this, Like, that's
- 9:05Speaker 14: the conversation I think ought to be had. The autopsy
- 9:08Speaker 14: that the Democrats did didn't delve into that, but it should.
- 9:13Speaker 14: What kind of political system covers that up and makes
- 9:20Speaker 14: it okay to lie to people about what everybody knows
- 9:23Speaker 14: is true?
- 9:24Speaker 3: You know what? I this is why? Well, first of all,
- 9:27Speaker 3: I can't go on CNN because I worked at NEWSMACS.
- 9:29Speaker 3: But but if I was able to go on CNN,
- 9:33Speaker 3: I would have been one of the panelists who said, well,
- 9:35Speaker 3: Abby Phillip, what about you, ma'am? You covered it up?
- 9:38Speaker 3: Everybody on CNN and MS it wasnt PMS now. Everybody
- 9:43Speaker 3: covered it up. The New York Slimes, the Washington Compost,
- 9:47Speaker 3: all of them. They all covered up the fact that
- 9:51Speaker 3: Joe Biden's cheese had slid off his cracker. Where's the accountability?
- 9:56Speaker 3: What about Jake Tamper for crying out loud writing all
- 10:00Speaker 3: the entire thesis of the book was that Joe Biden
- 10:04Speaker 3: was not there, The elevator did not hit the top floors.
- 10:11Speaker 3: They knew all of this in advance, and Jake Tamper
- 10:15Speaker 3: sat on it so we could sell a book. And
- 10:18Speaker 3: that tells you everything you need to know about the
- 10:20Speaker 3: mainstream media. But I want to go back to Joe
- 10:23Speaker 3: Biben here and again the CBS interview with Rita Brother.
- 10:28Speaker 3: Poor Rita, she's a clueless little gal because she should
- 10:32Speaker 3: have asked a follow up question when Joe Biden was like,
- 10:36Speaker 3: oh my god, I thought I was going to have
- 10:38Speaker 3: a stroke. The follow up question would have been, well, okay,
- 10:42Speaker 3: if you thought your husband was going to have a stroke,
- 10:46Speaker 3: let's watch what happened after the debate. And I want
- 10:49Speaker 3: you to explain to me why you didn't rush your
- 10:52Speaker 3: husband to the hospital. Because it just seems to me,
- 10:55Speaker 3: and I'm not a married man, but ladies, it just
- 10:58Speaker 3: seems to me that if you're watching your husband and
- 11:02Speaker 3: it looks as if he is having a stroke, it
- 11:05Speaker 3: just seems to me that the proper and decent and
- 11:08Speaker 3: dare I say normal thing to do would be to
- 11:13Speaker 3: rush your husband to the hospital so that he could
- 11:16Speaker 3: be examined by a doctor. Unless no, I don't want
- 11:23Speaker 3: to go there. I can't go there. Dylan, Should I
- 11:26Speaker 3: go there? I don't know I should?
- 11:27Speaker 12: Why not?
- 11:28Speaker 3: Oh? What the heck? I'll go there? Unless she thought
- 11:32Speaker 3: it would be advantageous for her if in fact he
- 11:35Speaker 3: dropped dead after the debate and therefore she could have
- 11:40Speaker 3: her I don't know, Jackie O moment, I'm telling you,
- 11:44Speaker 3: this woman's evil. What she what she put her husband through?
- 11:49Speaker 3: This guy, I can't blame Joe Biden. I mean, if
- 11:52Speaker 3: his brain has turned to mush, there's really not much
- 11:56Speaker 3: you can't be responsible for that, right, I mean, Biden,
- 12:00Speaker 3: he's a bad dude. Don't get me wrong here, But
- 12:03Speaker 3: when your mind turns to mush and you're walking around
- 12:07Speaker 3: the White House in your bathroom butt naked underneath, with
- 12:12Speaker 3: all those wrinkles exposed and man thoughts and prayers to
- 12:15Speaker 3: the Secret Service agents. You can't be responsible for that.
- 12:20Speaker 3: But the entire family, you know, there was a reason
- 12:23Speaker 3: we call it with the Biden Crime Syndicate. They're all
- 12:26Speaker 3: just really bad people. And a lot of that goes
- 12:29Speaker 3: back to Joe Biden. I mean, remember he took showers,
- 12:33Speaker 3: took showers with his daughter. Who does that? I mean,
- 12:38Speaker 3: you had Hunter Biden shacking up with the cheating on
- 12:42Speaker 3: his wife with his dead brother's wife. Man, those people
- 12:46Speaker 3: are messed up. And at some point, by the way,
- 12:49Speaker 3: can I just do it, do a brief stop, Let's
- 12:51Speaker 3: just put a pin here for just a moment. When
- 12:53Speaker 3: you go back and look at the Biden family and
- 12:56Speaker 3: look at the amount of drug addiction going on there,
- 12:59Speaker 3: it does make you wonder what in the world was
- 13:01Speaker 3: going on in that household that those kids, as young kids,
- 13:05Speaker 3: turned to drugs and alcohol as an escape. All right,
- 13:09Speaker 3: that's enough of that, But back to Joe Biden. It
- 13:12Speaker 3: just seems to me, and and folks, if you disagree,
- 13:15Speaker 3: I want to hear or if you will agree on
- 13:16Speaker 3: which it seems to me that this woman is guilty
- 13:20Speaker 3: at the very least of elder abuse, and it was
- 13:25Speaker 3: all for power. It was all for power. And by
- 13:29Speaker 3: the way, Joe Biden hates Kamala Harris hates Kamala Harris.
- 13:34Speaker 3: That goes back to the debate when Kamala Harris basically
- 13:37Speaker 3: accused Joe Biden of being a racist, which I mean,
- 13:40Speaker 3: you know, well, Biden, did you know love to have
- 13:45Speaker 3: lunch with segregationists. So there's an argument that could be
- 13:49Speaker 3: made there. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
- 13:52Speaker 3: two six. Are you surprised here to learn that Joe
- 13:56Speaker 3: Biden thought her husband was having a stroke and instead,
- 14:00Speaker 3: yead of sending into the hospital, she shoved him onto
- 14:02Speaker 3: a stage and putting back out on the campaign trail.
- 14:05Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
- 14:08Speaker 3: our number, that's nine oh one two six zero five
- 14:11Speaker 3: nine two six. Hey, we have a great show for you.
- 14:14Speaker 3: We're gonna be talking to Michael Gates wants to be
- 14:16Speaker 3: the next Attorney General of California. Luke Symbol is here. Also,
- 14:21Speaker 3: our good buddy Harry Hurley from WPG Talk Radio will
- 14:24Speaker 3: join us in just a little while. Hanging tie everybody,
- 14:27Speaker 3: This is the Todd Sterns Show.
- 14:28Speaker 15: Hey, guys, quick heads up, This is actually a big one.
- 14:31Speaker 15: We're saying goodbye to something that's helped thousands of families
- 14:34Speaker 15: over the years. The Patriot Power Generator, one of the
- 14:37Speaker 15: best selling solar generators of twenty twenty five, is officially
- 14:41Speaker 15: being retired. And the reason they've just released something even better.
- 14:46Speaker 15: It's called the Patriot Power Generator two two zero zero
- 14:49Speaker 15: X and this is their most powerful model yet. It's
- 14:53Speaker 15: built for real life situations, storms, outages, emergencies when you
- 14:58Speaker 15: need power the most. To launch it, they're doing something
- 15:00Speaker 15: pretty crazy right now. You can get five hundred dollars
- 15:03Speaker 15: off the generator. Plus they're including two free solar panels,
- 15:07Speaker 15: so you can double your charging power right out of
- 15:10Speaker 15: the box. They're also throwing in a heavy duty roll
- 15:13Speaker 15: in go kart, an extended three year warranty, and if
- 15:16Speaker 15: you're a senior or a veteran, you can save an
- 15:18Speaker 15: additional two hundred dollars. And here's the part that really
- 15:22Speaker 15: stands out, because they offer a payment plan. You can
- 15:25Speaker 15: get started today for just two hundred ninety nine dollars
- 15:29Speaker 15: and its ships as soon as tomorrow. But this is
- 15:32Speaker 15: a limited launch offer. It's first come, first served, and
- 15:36Speaker 15: these kinds of deals don't stick around, especially with how
- 15:39Speaker 15: unpredictable power outages have been lately. So if you've ever
- 15:42Speaker 15: thought about having backup power for your home, now's the
- 15:45Speaker 15: time to do it. Stay safe, stay prepared, and don't
- 15:49Speaker 15: wait until the lights go out. Go to Starnsprepper dot
- 15:51Speaker 15: com right now to take advantage of this limited time offer.
- 16:07Speaker 3: All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Ton Sterns
- 16:09Speaker 3: Radio show watching some breaking news developments coming out of
- 16:13Speaker 3: the Middle East and want to share these with you.
- 16:17Speaker 3: So syentcom that Central Command now claiming that a ceasefire
- 16:22Speaker 3: violation has happened after Iran attacked Kuwait. That's right, they
- 16:30Speaker 3: fired a ballistic missile attack at whu Wait. All of
- 16:34Speaker 3: this happening in just the last little while. The sitcom
- 16:39Speaker 3: saying it's an egregious ceasefire violation by the Iranian regime,
- 16:43Speaker 3: which occurred hours after Iranian forces launched five one way
- 16:48Speaker 3: attack drones that posed a clear threat in and near
- 16:52Speaker 3: the Strait of Horn Moves. All drones were successfully intercepted
- 16:56Speaker 3: by US forces. I have a question for you, ladies
- 17:02Speaker 3: and gentlemen, and this is a genuine from the heart
- 17:06Speaker 3: of Todd Stearns question, a heart that is being healed
- 17:10Speaker 3: as we speak. How long were we gonna play this
- 17:15Speaker 3: game with Iran? What the heck is going on here?
- 17:17Speaker 3: What is the strategy Iran has? You know, they're saying, well,
- 17:21Speaker 3: we've got a ceasefire as a fragile ceasefire. No, if
- 17:24Speaker 3: Iran is firing missiles, and if Iran is launching drones,
- 17:28Speaker 3: that is not a ceasefire. That is a war. So
- 17:33Speaker 3: at what point is President Trump going to say enough
- 17:37Speaker 3: is enough and we're gonna wipe Iran off the face
- 17:40Speaker 3: of the map again. If that is in fact why
- 17:44Speaker 3: we're over there fighting, I don't think anybody really understands
- 17:47Speaker 3: why we're over there at this point. But I'm telling
- 17:51Speaker 3: you this makes absolutely no sense. So here we are
- 17:55Speaker 3: about to enter the month of June. This war was
- 17:59Speaker 3: supposed to have been finished up in what five weeks?
- 18:02Speaker 3: Five weeks max, they told us, And now here we
- 18:05Speaker 3: are entering June. And I'm telling you this is not
- 18:09Speaker 3: a good thing for Make America Great Again gen zers
- 18:14Speaker 3: because they are adamantly opposed to what's happening right now
- 18:18Speaker 3: in the Middle East, adamantly opposed. And that is a
- 18:23Speaker 3: base of voters that you're gonna need, You're gonna need
- 18:26Speaker 3: all of them. And I would say that a good
- 18:28Speaker 3: many MAGA millennials feel the same way. They just don't
- 18:33Speaker 3: understand why we're over there. They don't want to forever war.
- 18:38Speaker 3: I was watching a debate the other night, and one
- 18:40Speaker 3: of the Republican congressional candidates said, well, we just have
- 18:44Speaker 3: to you know, we have to understand this is this
- 18:46Speaker 3: war is going to be wrapped up very quickly. This
- 18:48Speaker 3: is not a forever war. Well how do you know that? No, seriously,
- 18:52Speaker 3: how do we how do we know that? Just just
- 18:58Speaker 3: asking because I'm not I'm not seeing an end game here,
- 19:04Speaker 3: and I'm getting a little frustrated by the fact that
- 19:07Speaker 3: Iran continues to defy the United States. They're lying to
- 19:11Speaker 3: our president, they're you know, the president comes out and
- 19:14Speaker 3: announce us, Well, we're pretty darn close to signing a
- 19:16Speaker 3: peace deal, and clearly we are not because the Iranians
- 19:20Speaker 3: are not trustworthy people. They're just not so anyway, curious
- 19:25Speaker 3: to hear your thoughts on that. Do we need to
- 19:27Speaker 3: go ahead and wrap this thing up and get back
- 19:30Speaker 3: to domestic issues? Nine oh one two six zero five
- 19:33Speaker 3: nine two six and again, if we're not going to
- 19:35Speaker 3: wipe Israel or Iran off the face of the earth,
- 19:38Speaker 3: If we're not going to do that, what is the
- 19:40Speaker 3: point of us being over there? Nine oh one two
- 19:43Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six is our telephone number.
- 19:46Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
- 19:49Speaker 3: This is the Todd Sterns Show. All right, welcome back
- 20:11Speaker 3: to the Tod Sterns Show. Hang tight, We're gonna get
- 20:13Speaker 3: to your calls momentarily, but I want to go right
- 20:16Speaker 3: away to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line and say hello
- 20:19Speaker 3: to Michael Gates, who is running to be the next
- 20:22Speaker 3: Attorney General in California and he is a Republican. Michael,
- 20:27Speaker 3: good to have you with us today.
- 20:29Speaker 9: Thank you for having me.
- 20:30Speaker 3: You know, I think a lot of people look at
- 20:33Speaker 3: what's happening in California right now, and let me say,
- 20:35Speaker 3: it is really just an incredibly beautiful state, beautiful people.
- 20:40Speaker 3: And I think the biggest problem is that the Democrats
- 20:44Speaker 3: have allowed criminals in the criminal element to pretty much
- 20:47Speaker 3: control the streets of California cities.
- 20:51Speaker 16: Yeah yeah, And I actually Democrats have done the unthinkable.
- 20:54Speaker 16: They've actually been able to drive and this is the
- 20:56Speaker 16: Sacramento elitist. They've actually been able to drive people out
- 21:00Speaker 16: of this beautiful state of California. It seemed that for
- 21:03Speaker 16: decades everybody wanted to try to get here, to come here,
- 21:05Speaker 16: and our population was booming. And now we've lost almost
- 21:08Speaker 16: a million people from leaving California to go to other
- 21:12Speaker 16: states over the past four years. So they've actually done
- 21:14Speaker 16: the unthinkable. They've been driving people away rather than attracting people.
- 21:17Speaker 16: But yes, you're right, crime is high. California is ranked
- 21:21Speaker 16: number sixth in highest crime throughout the nation, so out
- 21:24Speaker 16: of fifty states, California is one of the most dangerous states.
- 21:27Speaker 16: And that's because of Attorney General Robanta. He's not doing
- 21:30Speaker 16: his job. He coddles criminals and he refuses to coddle
- 21:34Speaker 16: and protect every day Californians from becoming victims. So we
- 21:38Speaker 16: live in a crime ridden state. And things just got
- 21:40Speaker 16: worse in California because now the legislature is trying to
- 21:44Speaker 16: push new legislation to gut what we know here in California.
- 21:47Speaker 9: Is Prop.
- 21:48Speaker 16: Thirty six, which was a proposition passed by the voters
- 21:51Speaker 16: overwhelmingly in twenty twenty four to add more teeth to
- 21:54Speaker 16: criminal justice to add more punishment to everyday quality of
- 21:58Speaker 16: life crimes. And now the legislature's trying to gut that proposition.
- 22:01Speaker 16: So it became law of the land when California passed it.
- 22:04Speaker 16: Californians passed overwhelmingly on the ballot in twenty twenty four
- 22:08Speaker 16: by nearly seventy percent, And now the Legislature's trying to
- 22:11Speaker 16: gut it. So we live in lalls, California. We have
- 22:14Speaker 16: chaos here. We are much more like a Banana Republican
- 22:17Speaker 16: a lot of ways when it comes to our laws,
- 22:18Speaker 16: because Attorney General Robonta is lawless.
- 22:21Speaker 9: He refuses to maintain law and order. And that's why
- 22:23Speaker 9: I'm running for Attorney General. No.
- 22:25Speaker 3: I am so glad, and you're you're mounting a very
- 22:28Speaker 3: impressive campaign, and I have to tell you, I'm really
- 22:31Speaker 3: impressed with the work that Republicans are doing in California.
- 22:35Speaker 3: And I know it's got to be tough because, as
- 22:36Speaker 3: you said, you know, hundreds of thousands of people are
- 22:39Speaker 3: moving out of California, and many of them I suspect
- 22:42Speaker 3: are in fact Republican voters. My rally cry has been
- 22:46Speaker 3: stay and fight for your state. Ball What say you, Well, it's.
- 22:52Speaker 16: Such a mess here, Todd that honestly, six sixty five
- 22:56Speaker 16: percent of respondents to polls right now are saying the
- 23:00Speaker 16: California's headed the wrong direction. And Todd, as you know,
- 23:02Speaker 16: you can't get to sixty five percent of anything in
- 23:04Speaker 16: California without the Democrats agreeing with the Republicans. I've had
- 23:08Speaker 16: a lot of Democrats reaching out to me saying, Michael, look,
- 23:10Speaker 16: I've been a diehard Democrat for years, but I'm voting
- 23:13Speaker 16: for you and Steve Hilton to change California because California
- 23:17Speaker 16: is in crisis and this is our opportunity right now
- 23:19Speaker 16: to rescue it. So this isn't just hyperbole or rhetoric
- 23:22Speaker 16: or anecdotal. This is widespread. Democrats are now every day Democrats,
- 23:27Speaker 16: every day Californians Democrat are waking up and realizing we
- 23:31Speaker 16: need a different kind of leadership in California. So it's
- 23:33Speaker 16: been going quite well. We've had a lot of support,
- 23:35Speaker 16: and I think in this election right now, we are
- 23:38Speaker 16: going to have a real, meaningful opportunity to rescue California
- 23:41Speaker 16: because I think every day Californians are on our side.
- 23:44Speaker 3: Well I do too, and I think even even a
- 23:47Speaker 3: lot of those liberals in San Francisco or out in
- 23:51Speaker 3: Los Angeles and Hollywood. You know, they want their kids
- 23:55Speaker 3: to be able to go to a park without having
- 23:57Speaker 3: to step on a journey needle or you know, get
- 23:59Speaker 3: a costed by a drug addict, or you know some
- 24:02Speaker 3: homeless person on the street. I mean, what's happening to
- 24:05Speaker 3: those those cities? And I spent a lot of time
- 24:08Speaker 3: in California, and I just I love that state. But
- 24:11Speaker 3: what the Democrats have done is just it's a crime.
- 24:15Speaker 16: Yeah, and you can you can only describe it as lawless,
- 24:18Speaker 16: and frankly, many are calling California a criminal enterprise with
- 24:21Speaker 16: the waste fraud abuse that we're seeing, Oh to the
- 24:23Speaker 16: tune of nearly five hundred billion dollars of waste fraud abuse.
- 24:27Speaker 16: Nearly five hundred billion dollars is twenty two thousand dollars
- 24:29Speaker 16: per taxpayer. So we are we are worse off, I
- 24:32Speaker 16: think than people think. If you look at the numbers,
- 24:34Speaker 16: it's terrible. And I have talked to Spencer Pratt, who's
- 24:37Speaker 16: running for Los Angeles mayor, all of these mayors of
- 24:41Speaker 16: these cities, all these leaders are going to need a
- 24:43Speaker 16: strong attorney general. The Attorney general of the state of
- 24:45Speaker 16: California is ultimately the top cop, the top law enforcement officer.
- 24:48Speaker 16: When I was City Attorney of Huntington Beach, I was
- 24:50Speaker 16: the top law enforcement officer and top prosecutor there. I
- 24:53Speaker 16: did that for ten years. We reduced crime by double digits.
- 24:56Speaker 16: And now Huntington Beach is considered in the top ten
- 24:58Speaker 16: safest cities in the entire city of californ out of
- 25:00Speaker 16: nearly five hundred cities. So it's in a very Huntington
- 25:03Speaker 16: Beach is in a very elite group of safest cities
- 25:07Speaker 16: in the state of California.
- 25:08Speaker 9: So I have fought crime. I have made Huntington Beach safe.
- 25:11Speaker 9: It's a very large city.
- 25:12Speaker 16: It's the twenty third largest city in the state of
- 25:14Speaker 16: California with two hundred thousand residents and fifteen million visitors
- 25:17Speaker 16: a year. I know how to make a city safe.
- 25:19Speaker 16: I know how to make a community safe. And so
- 25:22Speaker 16: when I go to Sacramento and i'm the ag We're
- 25:26Speaker 16: going to make every city in the state of California
- 25:28Speaker 16: as safe as Huntington Beaches.
- 25:30Speaker 9: So I know how to do it. I've done it before.
- 25:32Speaker 16: The proof is in the pudding, and I've got a
- 25:34Speaker 16: really good record on being tough on crime and reducing
- 25:37Speaker 16: crime to nearly zero in Huntington Beach, California. So while
- 25:40Speaker 16: Rabanta's state is among the highest crime ridden states in
- 25:44Speaker 16: the country, my city of Huntington Beach is one of
- 25:47Speaker 16: the very safest cities in the entire state of California.
- 25:50Speaker 16: So we know how to do this and we're going
- 25:52Speaker 16: to We are going to rescue California.
- 25:54Speaker 3: Michael, I know you've been talking to a lot of Democrats,
- 25:57Speaker 3: and I'm just curious, what is it. What is it
- 26:00Speaker 3: that you're hearing from these Democrats that are embracing your message.
- 26:08Speaker 16: So, I think for years, so just so the rest
- 26:10Speaker 16: of the nation knows too, that California has been under
- 26:12Speaker 16: basically one party rule for nearly twenty years. So it's
- 26:15Speaker 16: been Democrats, Democrats, Democrats in charge of every state office
- 26:18Speaker 16: statewide for years, including a super majority in the legislature.
- 26:22Speaker 16: And I think Democrats in California, like Independence and Republicans
- 26:25Speaker 16: are waking up saying, look, we've absorbed high crime rates
- 26:28Speaker 16: for years, We've absorbed high homeless rates, We've absorbed the
- 26:31Speaker 16: highest gas prices in the nation, we've absorbed the highest
- 26:35Speaker 16: income taxes, and after the La fires of last year
- 26:39Speaker 16: in twenty twenty five, and then also after seeing what
- 26:43Speaker 16: the new legislation looks like coming out of Sacramento. Now
- 26:45Speaker 16: they're trying to they want to tax us per mile
- 26:47Speaker 16: that we drive in our car. Democrats and independence like
- 26:50Speaker 16: Republicans are saying, wait a second, We've had enough, like
- 26:53Speaker 16: enough is enough, and so they're really, I think on
- 26:56Speaker 16: the California is in crisis. We're frankly on the on
- 27:00Speaker 16: the brink of disaster. I mean, there's just no other
- 27:02Speaker 16: way to describe it. Many are, like I said, it's
- 27:04Speaker 16: being described as a criminal enterprise here in California with
- 27:07Speaker 16: the waste fraud abuse, and so Democrats are saying, look,
- 27:10Speaker 16: we want our state back. Democrats here in California they're
- 27:13Speaker 16: patriots too. They love their country, they love their state,
- 27:15Speaker 16: and so this lawlessness and this chaos, in this abuse
- 27:19Speaker 16: from Sacramento government has just gone too far. And so
- 27:22Speaker 16: they're looking at, you know, candidates like me, like Steve Hilton,
- 27:24Speaker 16: and saying like, look, I think it's time for a change.
- 27:27Speaker 9: We want to give you guys a try.
- 27:28Speaker 16: And so I tell everybody when I leave office as
- 27:30Speaker 16: Attorney General, after I've served and I leave office, people
- 27:33Speaker 16: will remember me for one thing, that that man returned
- 27:36Speaker 16: to California to a law and order state.
- 27:38Speaker 9: I know how to do it.
- 27:40Speaker 16: I've been in the courtroom. I've been a good lawyer.
- 27:42Speaker 16: I've got a great record for many, many years. Rob Bonta,
- 27:45Speaker 16: our Attorney General, has been a career politician only not
- 27:48Speaker 16: a real lawyer. He's never stepped foot in the courtroom. I,
- 27:50Speaker 16: on the other hand, have been in the courtroom. I've
- 27:52Speaker 16: tried many multimillion dollar cases. I'm actually admitted to the
- 27:55Speaker 16: United States Supreme Court bar so if called upon to
- 27:58Speaker 16: argue a case before this Supreme Court tomorrow, I could
- 28:01Speaker 16: go to DC and argue that case. So I'm a
- 28:02Speaker 16: real lawyer with real solutions. I have fought this good fight.
- 28:05Speaker 16: I've made Hunting to be safe, and it is a
- 28:07Speaker 16: law and order city. And we're going to make California
- 28:09Speaker 16: law and order state.
- 28:10Speaker 3: I'd love to hear that. And I know a lot
- 28:12Speaker 3: of folks that are listening to us in California right
- 28:15Speaker 3: now are probably cheering because that's what we need. And
- 28:20Speaker 3: I just hope that voters wake up and realize what
- 28:23Speaker 3: these Democrats and what Bonta has done to the state
- 28:26Speaker 3: of California. Michael, real quick. Where can people go if
- 28:30Speaker 3: they want to get more information about your campaign?

- 29:19Speaker 3: All right, there you have it, everybody. Michael Gates who
- 29:23Speaker 3: is ready to stand and fight for California. And I
- 29:26Speaker 3: love to hear that. And look, I know it's tough,
- 29:29Speaker 3: I really do for those of you that are living
- 29:32Speaker 3: in blue areas. Look, we broadcast our show from a
- 29:37Speaker 3: blue area, Memphis, Tennessee. We are dark, dark blue here
- 29:41Speaker 3: in this part of Tennessee, Salem, Oregon. You folks listening
- 29:45Speaker 3: to us on kykn you know exactly what I'm talking about.
- 29:48Speaker 3: It takes a lot of courage to stay and fight.
- 29:52Speaker 3: And that's what I'm encouraging you to do, is to
- 29:54Speaker 3: stay and fight for your state. That's how we're ultimately
- 29:59Speaker 3: going to be able to make it diference, and that's
- 30:00Speaker 3: how we're going to be able to change states like California, which,
- 30:04Speaker 3: by the way, this California was part of the birthing
- 30:09Speaker 3: of the modern conservative movement, the state that gave us
- 30:13Speaker 3: Ronald Reagan. So it is very possible for us to
- 30:16Speaker 3: go back to those days. It's going to take some time.
- 30:19Speaker 3: And look and hear me on this. The kinds of
- 30:22Speaker 3: Republicans that are elected in California, you know what, they
- 30:25Speaker 3: may not be the same kind of Republicans we elected
- 30:28Speaker 3: a place like Tennessee or Mississippi or Georgia. But that's
- 30:32Speaker 3: okay because we've got to work together and we've got
- 30:35Speaker 3: to keep our foundational beliefs intact as we fight to
- 30:39Speaker 3: take back our country. And this is going to be
- 30:41Speaker 3: a long battle. Ladies and gentlemen, all right, nine oh
- 30:44Speaker 3: one two six zero five nine two six hour telephone number.
- 30:47Speaker 3: Let's go to the phones. Jess listening to us on
- 30:51Speaker 3: Patriot Talk nine to twenty in Houston, Texas. Hi, Jess,
- 30:54Speaker 3: what's on your mind today?
- 30:56Speaker 7: I love your show. I'm missing so much when you're there.
- 31:00Speaker 7: But I never thought that you would give me an
- 31:03Speaker 7: opportunity to correct you on anything that you believe and say.
- 31:07Speaker 7: The reason that we're staying in Iran is to protect
- 31:12Speaker 7: that straight of a moves. We went over there for
- 31:15Speaker 7: the nuclear weapons, but now if we leave, they'll take
- 31:20Speaker 7: over the street and they'll cut our all off anytime
- 31:23Speaker 7: they want to. Donald Trump is the best president in
- 31:28Speaker 7: my lifetime and probably in history. He knows what he's doing.
- 31:33Speaker 7: Just give him, give him a little rain. You know,
- 31:36Speaker 7: we hadn't been there very long. He'll take care of
- 31:39Speaker 7: us now.
- 31:40Speaker 3: Now, Jezz, First of all, I think you and I
- 31:42Speaker 3: agree more than we disagree on this. My issue is
- 31:46Speaker 3: they told us that Iran did not have any more
- 31:50Speaker 3: military firepower, and clearly they they do. And my philosophy
- 31:55Speaker 3: is we should have gone in and we should have
- 31:57Speaker 3: done shock and awe and completely obliterated Iran and all
- 32:02Speaker 3: of their capabilities. But clearly they decided not to go
- 32:06Speaker 3: down that path. And that's Look, we did the same
- 32:09Speaker 3: thing in Afghanistan, and we did the same thing in Iraq.
- 32:12Speaker 3: And Jess, I'm just a little nervous here because our
- 32:15Speaker 3: track record is a nation when it comes to these
- 32:18Speaker 3: kinds of wars, it's not good.
- 32:22Speaker 7: Well, I'm glad you said that shock and All's fine,
- 32:27Speaker 7: but I do not won't our sons and daughters to
- 32:31Speaker 7: set foot in that horrible damn country. Go ahead and
- 32:34Speaker 7: bomb the hell out of them, but that's it. I
- 32:36Speaker 7: don't want to go in there and get anybody hurt.
- 32:39Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I'm with you on that. And and
- 32:41Speaker 3: and Jess, my concern is if we do, if we
- 32:44Speaker 3: have to start sending in American troops, we're toast. I
- 32:49Speaker 3: mean in the in the in the midterm elections, we
- 32:52Speaker 3: will be toast. I think the American people will rise
- 32:54Speaker 3: up against that. Yeah, you're right, you're right, all right, Jeff. Look,
- 33:01Speaker 3: I'm glad you called in. And and look, we love
- 33:03Speaker 3: people who disagree with me. I think that makes more
- 33:06Speaker 3: entertaining radio. But we also like to hear people that
- 33:08Speaker 3: like us as well. That you know, that's human nature.
- 33:13Speaker 3: God bless you, Jess, Thank you for calling in. All Right,
- 33:15Speaker 3: we got to take a break here. Nine oh one
- 33:17Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six is our telephone number.
- 33:20Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
- 33:23Speaker 3: This is the Todd Starns Show. All right, Welcome back, everybody.
- 33:40Speaker 3: This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Great to have
- 33:43Speaker 3: you with today, busy, busy news day. Today, let's go
- 33:47Speaker 3: to the phone line.
- 33:48Speaker 2: Though.
- 33:48Speaker 3: We love hearing from our great listeners. Nine oh one
- 33:52Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six is our telephone number.
- 33:55Speaker 3: I mentioned Salem, Moregon radio station k y k N
- 33:59Speaker 3: and Nick is listening to that radio station right now.
- 34:03Speaker 3: And Nick, what is on your mind?
- 34:06Speaker 4: Well, you're the previous callers. You were talking about being
- 34:09Speaker 4: frustrated with Trump, and I could understand if you don't
- 34:13Speaker 4: know everything. And I'm not saying you don't know everything,
- 34:15Speaker 4: but the news cycles so rapid and trying to keep
- 34:18Speaker 4: up with everything that's going on. There's so many things
- 34:20Speaker 4: happening in the background. We just don't understand everything. But
- 34:23Speaker 4: when Trump contacted all the leaders in the region, all
- 34:27Speaker 4: these different countries, and they talked about the Abraham Accords,
- 34:30Speaker 4: I'm kind of surprised they haven't or maybe they aren't
- 34:32Speaker 4: talking about it, I don't know, But why not have
- 34:35Speaker 4: a NATO type coalition in that region? So the Middle
- 34:38Speaker 4: East anti terrorisms are like meat, you know, hey is
- 34:42Speaker 4: the meat group whatever? So if they could get together
- 34:45Speaker 4: and create their own effort to do the groundwork, we
- 34:50Speaker 4: don't have to send I think there's going to have
- 34:52Speaker 4: to be some kind of ground action to really clear
- 34:55Speaker 4: out the towns and the cities of this terroritist regime
- 34:59Speaker 4: that has taken over.
- 35:00Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
- 35:01Speaker 4: But I think that would be the way to go.
- 35:03Speaker 4: It's just encouraged them to take care of their own
- 35:05Speaker 4: neighborhood and we could train them so they're all on
- 35:09Speaker 4: the same page, if that's possible. But I think they
- 35:12Speaker 4: would own it, and I think they would go in
- 35:14Speaker 4: and do a good job and the citizens would love them.
- 35:17Speaker 4: And of course it's all be perpetuated on our president
- 35:21Speaker 4: making that happen, because evidently they haven't thought of it
- 35:23Speaker 4: on their own. But Trump does come up with me
- 35:26Speaker 4: bringiant ideas.
- 35:27Speaker 3: Now, Nick, I want you to know, I have to
- 35:29Speaker 3: I have to take you to task for one thing
- 35:31Speaker 3: you said, because the host of this radio program, Todd Starnes,
- 35:34Speaker 3: is all knowing and I do know what you're talking about.
- 35:39Speaker 3: And it's a it's a it's a fair point. You
- 35:42Speaker 3: raise about about a NATO style organization there in the
- 35:46Speaker 3: Middle East, and President Trump was actually talking about this,
- 35:50Speaker 3: not it was I think what was yesterday during the
- 35:53Speaker 3: cabinet meeting. You had the big cabinet meeting yesterday, and
- 35:56Speaker 3: he talked about bringing in Saudi Arabia and Cutter and
- 36:01Speaker 3: other I think the UAE and other Arab nations into
- 36:05Speaker 3: the Abraham Accords. And I think under that umberella you
- 36:10Speaker 3: could see some sort of a NATO like organization come
- 36:13Speaker 3: to power. I think though, Nick, and I think I
- 36:16Speaker 3: think it's a fine idea. Of the problem is is
- 36:18Speaker 3: it going to work, Because as we now know, NATO
- 36:22Speaker 3: did not work. We got stuck foot in all the
- 36:25Speaker 3: bills and they still hated us.
- 36:28Speaker 4: Well, that's what we don't get involved like we were
- 36:31Speaker 4: involved in Europe. Get we don't get involved. And because
- 36:35Speaker 4: thankfully the IRGC decided to throw bombs at their neighbors,
- 36:40Speaker 4: well that gives the neighbors enough instead of in the
- 36:42Speaker 4: motivation to fight back. And so if that means going
- 36:45Speaker 4: on the ground to save the Armenian people, I think
- 36:49Speaker 4: that's going to be the ultimate good, good guy scenario.
- 36:52Speaker 4: But we can be the instigator, we can be the
- 36:55Speaker 4: management just to help them get started. But once we
- 36:58Speaker 4: have all the right communication so they can all talk
- 37:00Speaker 4: on the same page, all the different air, ground, sea
- 37:04Speaker 4: forces are all talking together like we've adopted in the
- 37:07Speaker 4: last decade or so, then I think that they'll be
- 37:11Speaker 4: fine on their own. They don't need us.
- 37:13Speaker 3: Well, the challenge is that even the Abraham Accords, you know,
- 37:17Speaker 3: we sort of you know, just sort of blew right
- 37:19Speaker 3: out of the gates. And it was a very exciting thing.
- 37:22Speaker 3: I think there was a lot of conversation about I
- 37:26Speaker 3: don't know things. You know, that's a new relationships between
- 37:30Speaker 3: Israel and Arab nations. And now that is sort of,
- 37:33Speaker 3: you know, it has sort of softened and petered out
- 37:37Speaker 3: a little bit. So it's one of those things. What's
- 37:40Speaker 3: happening in the Middle East is a very difficult situation
- 37:43Speaker 3: and it is not like Europe, and it's going to
- 37:47Speaker 3: always be delicate. So I hear what you're saying, and
- 37:51Speaker 3: I like the idea, I really do. The question is
- 37:54Speaker 3: will we be able to make something like this actually work?
- 37:57Speaker 3: Would it be practical? Nick, it's a great I've got
- 38:00Speaker 3: to leave it there because we've got to take a
- 38:02Speaker 3: quick break. Here. By the way, our telephone number nine
- 38:05Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six. That's
- 38:08Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
- 38:11Speaker 3: If you want to weigh in on the conversation. We're
- 38:13Speaker 3: going to Texas. We have some more tallar Rico news
- 38:16Speaker 3: to share with you. And this guy just it's weird, man,
- 38:21Speaker 3: It is real weird.

- 38:53Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.
- 38:56Speaker 2: That's that's American to start.
- 39:06Speaker 3: Well, Hello, everybody, great to have you with us today.
- 39:10Speaker 3: Dylan is back in the saddle, and I mean the
- 39:14Speaker 3: whole team. Dylan, the team did a great job while
- 39:16Speaker 3: you're out, no doubt about that. And we had Parker
- 39:20Speaker 3: and Ian and Helen. Now Helen is off on vacation,
- 39:24Speaker 3: so this is I guess everybody's doing vacations early this year.
- 39:27Speaker 12: It's vacation season time.
- 39:29Speaker 3: So let me get this straight. So, your parents, who
- 39:33Speaker 3: birthed you, who sired you from their loins, Yes, they're
- 39:39Speaker 3: celebrating the big thirtieth wedding anniversary.
- 39:41Speaker 12: Yes they are.
- 39:42Speaker 3: And your mom, of course, she and I are first cousins,
- 39:44Speaker 3: so we grew up together. And so they they decided,
- 39:50Speaker 3: your parents decided we're going to spend our thirtieth wedding
- 39:53Speaker 3: anniversary in Florida at Universal Studios. Yeah, and so how
- 39:59Speaker 3: did all the kids end up going?
- 40:02Speaker 12: So it was yet that it was me and my
- 40:04Speaker 12: wife and my sister.
- 40:06Speaker 3: Okay, and my parents and your parents and had a
- 40:09Speaker 3: good time.
- 40:10Speaker 12: It was a great time. We did drive, and so
- 40:12Speaker 12: that was a little difficult. I've never driven twelve hours,
- 40:16Speaker 12: let alone fourteen, which that's how long it time.
- 40:18Speaker 3: That is a long drive. It was very How did
- 40:20Speaker 3: you do it? Just go down Alabama and then across
- 40:23Speaker 3: the Red Neck Riviera.
- 40:24Speaker 12: Yes, that is the route. We took and it was fine.
- 40:27Speaker 12: I mean, Atlanta is always going to be bad no
- 40:29Speaker 12: matter what time it is, so that that was the
- 40:31Speaker 12: only traffic we had. But it also rained when we
- 40:34Speaker 12: came back.
- 40:34Speaker 3: So oh that's not good. Yeah, that's that's not good.
- 40:37Speaker 3: But the Gulf of America looks great.
- 40:39Speaker 12: Yes. Yeah. We did stop at BUCkies a few times.
- 40:43Speaker 12: So on the way there we stopped once, and then
- 40:45Speaker 12: on the way back we stopped and we.
- 40:47Speaker 3: Just have to got Yeah it's mandatory.
- 40:49Speaker 12: Yeah, it's mandatory bathrooms where pristine can't complain.
- 40:53Speaker 3: Ever, Grab a little brisker, grab some food while you're
- 40:55Speaker 3: there at the brisket.
- 40:56Speaker 12: I actually grabbed the chicken sandwich. I don't know you
- 40:59Speaker 12: you mentioned that. I think last time that you were
- 41:00Speaker 12: at Bucky's. It was pretty good.
- 41:02Speaker 3: Good chicken sandwich. Yeah, good stuff, good stuff. I need
- 41:07Speaker 3: some help from the the Italians that listen to the
- 41:09Speaker 3: ton Starts radio show. Dellan, you know this is big doings.
- 41:12Speaker 3: We were talking about do you call it sauce or
- 41:15Speaker 3: do you call it gravy? One day and I have
- 41:16Speaker 3: no idea what led to this conversation, but then I
- 41:21Speaker 3: started talking about the Memphis Italian Festival, which is coming
- 41:25Speaker 3: up this week. I think it starts like today and
- 41:28Speaker 3: it is a very long festival and it's really one
- 41:32Speaker 3: of our I guess, more popular festivals. You had the
- 41:35Speaker 3: Greek Fest, but there's really something special about the Memphis
- 41:39Speaker 3: Italian Fest and some of the Italian restaurants am I hearing.
- 41:44Speaker 3: I feel like I'm in like Venice or Rome or somewhere.
- 41:47Speaker 12: I'm trying to immerse you.
- 41:50Speaker 3: I am immersed. Just always let me know if you're
- 41:54Speaker 3: doing this only because you know, with the heart issue,
- 41:57Speaker 3: I don't want to, you know, stroke out. I think
- 41:59Speaker 3: I'm stroking out or something.
- 42:01Speaker 12: Now it's only gonna be a soothing music from here
- 42:03Speaker 12: on out.
- 42:04Speaker 3: I love this. I feel like, you know, it's just
- 42:06Speaker 3: a beautiful sunny day and Rome and you have the
- 42:10Speaker 3: wine and the cheese and the meat, the balls. I
- 42:17Speaker 3: feel like I'm at Buca Debpo. So anyway, we're talking
- 42:22Speaker 3: about all of this, and we get a note from
- 42:24Speaker 3: the fine people at the Memphis Italian Festival and they
- 42:28Speaker 3: have invited me to be an official judge of the
- 42:31Speaker 3: gravy contest.
- 42:33Speaker 12: It's very exciting.
- 42:35Speaker 2: This is huge.
- 42:37Speaker 3: So I'm a little concerned because you know, that actors like,
- 42:40Speaker 3: we can't tell the cardiologist about this, so we got
- 42:42Speaker 3: to keep this on the down low. But I'm this
- 42:46Speaker 3: sounds this sounds like Texas Country and Western Italian.
- 42:52Speaker 9: Just go with it.
- 42:53Speaker 3: I'm going with it. So anyway, I've got to judge
- 42:57Speaker 3: the I've got to judge the gravy competition, which is
- 43:00Speaker 3: not like gravy gravy. It's like Italian gravy, which is
- 43:04Speaker 3: like what sauce.
- 43:06Speaker 12: Yeah, like marin Aera saw but it's not Mari and Air.
- 43:10Speaker 3: So here's my concern. I don't know. I'm not the
- 43:12Speaker 3: only judge. I think there are many professional Italians there,
- 43:16Speaker 3: and I'm not a professional Italian, you know. I think
- 43:18Speaker 3: I'm well German and then Irish. So I'm trying to
- 43:23Speaker 3: figure out what I need to What is it that
- 43:25Speaker 3: makes a great sauce a great sauce or a great
- 43:27Speaker 3: gravy a great gravy in the Italian world.
- 43:31Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, so we don't call it gravy. I mean,
- 43:34Speaker 12: you lived in New York for a long time. I
- 43:36Speaker 12: don't know if you heard the word gravy just thrown
- 43:38Speaker 12: around like that out there. But I've always said sauce.
- 43:41Speaker 12: But I'm very excited for you because I know that
- 43:44Speaker 12: you know if it's gonna be good or not. I
- 43:47Speaker 12: think that's all you really need to know, is this
- 43:49Speaker 12: good or because they're all probably gonna be good, but
- 43:53Speaker 12: you have to choose the best.
- 43:54Speaker 3: Right, here's what I'm concerned by. I want to read you.
- 43:57Speaker 3: This is what they're calling it, the spaghetti gravy Contest.
- 44:00Speaker 3: Making the best spaghetti gravy is the pinnacle of Italian cooking.
- 44:04Speaker 3: I just want to screw it up, all right, that's
- 44:07Speaker 3: the concern. I don't want to screw it up. You'll
- 44:09Speaker 3: compete with some of the best gravy makers in Memphis
- 44:12Speaker 3: for cash prizes and absolute all caps bragging rights. Every
- 44:17Speaker 3: cooking team enters one twenty out sample to be judged
- 44:21Speaker 3: on site by a panel of gravy experts. And that's
- 44:26Speaker 3: the part that I'm concerned about. I don't know if
- 44:29Speaker 3: I'm an expert. I thought about maybe going down for
- 44:32Speaker 3: the next two days and just eating at the Olive Garden. Yeah,
- 44:36Speaker 3: bring me all the gravy you got.
- 44:39Speaker 12: I think you need to go to Italy.
- 44:41Speaker 3: Oh well that's a little too late. Yeah, So anyway,
- 44:45Speaker 3: they've got Yeah, this is a big deal and it
- 44:48Speaker 3: all starts. I mean, they've got best happy hour drink.
- 44:52Speaker 3: How come I didn't judge that one? Oh, here we go. Oh,
- 44:56Speaker 3: I'm actually judging the blind spaghetti gravy contest? Is that
- 45:01Speaker 3: because they can't say, oh no, that's never mind. I
- 45:05Speaker 3: I thought it was never mind.
- 45:07Speaker 12: That's I feel like that's even more pressure.
- 45:08Speaker 3: Oh here's what. They have a homemade wine contest. Yes,
- 45:12Speaker 3: and they also have a grape stamp contest. Oh that's
- 45:16Speaker 3: I guess where you stamp on the grapes to make
- 45:18Speaker 3: the wine. Yeah, and a wine They call it a
- 45:21Speaker 3: wine race. Two Italians, lots of rednecks. I love that.
- 45:28Speaker 3: So anyway, any of you Italians out there want do
- 45:30Speaker 3: you give me some guidance here I'm looking for. I'm
- 45:34Speaker 3: just looking. What am I looking for? What makes a
- 45:37Speaker 3: great spaghetti gravy? Nine oh one two six zero five
- 45:42Speaker 3: nine two six is our number. That's nine oh one
- 45:45Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six. Oh. They have
- 45:48Speaker 3: a kiddy thing called Luigi Land.
- 45:51Speaker 9: Wow.
- 45:52Speaker 3: I think this is over at the Catholic Church, so
- 45:56Speaker 3: it'll be a lot of fun. All right, Well, there
- 45:58Speaker 3: you go. I just feel like I was just so
- 46:01Speaker 3: relaxed and chill, Dylan.
- 46:03Speaker 12: I mean, that's just the you know, that's Italy for you.
- 46:08Speaker 3: It's a lovely place I've spent I've only been once,
- 46:10Speaker 3: but I spent two weeks in the country and it's
- 46:13Speaker 3: just great people, great food, and loved it, just loved
- 46:16Speaker 3: it all right. Nine oh one two six zero five
- 46:18Speaker 3: nine two six will be taking your calls on recommendations
- 46:22Speaker 3: for what makes a great gravy. I do know that
- 46:25Speaker 3: we're not allowed to say the words ragou or pray
- 46:28Speaker 3: go while we're while I'm there, so those are apparently
- 46:32Speaker 3: hard and fast rules. Just FYI. So look, we've got
- 46:36Speaker 3: to talk about this James Tellerco guy and you folks
- 46:41Speaker 3: in Texas, I uh, the Democrats in the media literally
- 46:46Speaker 3: think that this guy is going to win. As a
- 46:49Speaker 3: matter of fact, Cook political report came out yesterday and
- 46:52Speaker 3: said that this race is now instead of being a
- 46:56Speaker 3: toss up, it is now leaning for the Democrats. Is
- 47:00Speaker 3: this true? And I ask you this because this guy
- 47:04Speaker 3: is just flat out weird. So yesterday we told you
- 47:08Speaker 3: about this. He's a vegan and he doesn't eat meat,
- 47:13Speaker 3: and which I just assumed everybody in Texas ate meat,
- 47:17Speaker 3: even the vegans. But apparently that's not the case. So
- 47:21Speaker 3: James tall Rico now says that no, no, no, I
- 47:25Speaker 3: actually am a meat eater. Well here's what he said
- 47:28Speaker 3: in the first place. Cut nineteen.
- 47:31Speaker 18: We have, I think, heard more and more issues of
- 47:35Speaker 18: animal welfare. I think not just because it's the right
- 47:37Speaker 18: thing to do and the moral thing to do, but
- 47:39Speaker 18: also it's, as all of you know, necessary to fight
- 47:42Speaker 18: climate change. It is now existential that we try to
- 47:46Speaker 18: reduce our meat consumption and that we try to respect
- 47:50Speaker 18: animals in all aspects of society. And so I am
- 47:53Speaker 18: proud to say that our campaign has officially become a
- 47:57Speaker 18: non meat campaign. So we have a we are only
- 48:02Speaker 18: buying vegan products from from our local vegan businesses. Some
- 48:06Speaker 18: of you may know big nonahs. They were little nonas
- 48:09Speaker 18: and then they opened up brick and mortars and they're
- 48:11Speaker 18: big nonas. But we just got our pizza from there today.
- 48:14Speaker 18: And so the point is that I think all of us,
- 48:17Speaker 18: not just policymakers, but everyone has to take personal responsibility
- 48:22Speaker 18: in this effort.
- 48:23Speaker 3: All right, So I think this guy has little nonas.
- 48:30Speaker 3: I don't want to judge, but there's something really weird
- 48:32Speaker 3: about this guy. So now that he's a posted a
- 48:36Speaker 3: photograph of himself eating a rib, and Dylan, I just
- 48:41Speaker 3: have a question for you. I mean, you're a Southerner,
- 48:44Speaker 3: you're from Memphis, which we are the barbecue capital of
- 48:48Speaker 3: the galaxy. And when you're eating a rib, take me
- 48:52Speaker 3: through that process of eating a you know, a rib,
- 48:55Speaker 3: a dry rub rib and Memphis.
- 48:58Speaker 12: Well, first of all, you don't have utensils. You have
- 49:01Speaker 12: your fingers, right, and so you rip off the rib
- 49:06Speaker 12: and then you turn it sideways to get the fatty part,
- 49:08Speaker 12: the meat, the good stuff, and you go to town
- 49:11Speaker 12: on the rib. And that's essentially and you have a
- 49:14Speaker 12: you know, it's safe to have a bib. You if
- 49:16Speaker 12: you will to eat the rib if you really want to.
- 49:18Speaker 3: I don't do the bib. Now you don't know I'm
- 49:20Speaker 3: a purist. I'm a Yeah, I'm a Southerner. I'm old school.
- 49:23Speaker 12: I would hate to see your white shirts right now.
- 49:25Speaker 3: You gotta get I will have you know that I
- 49:28Speaker 3: actually went to where was I Central Barbecue, and I
- 49:32Speaker 3: had a white dress shirt on and I came out
- 49:35Speaker 3: clean as a baby's beeh.
- 49:37Speaker 12: Well, you probably weren't doing something right. You probably weren't attacking.
- 49:40Speaker 3: No, No, it's all in the it's the hunch, right. You've
- 49:43Speaker 3: got a hunch over the rib and you've got to
- 49:46Speaker 3: stick your neck out. And when you do that, when
- 49:48Speaker 3: you have the hunch right, you're able to I now
- 49:51Speaker 3: I do the ribs kind of like I would eat
- 49:53Speaker 3: my corn on the cob. Yeah, I mean that's how
- 49:55Speaker 3: I do.
- 49:56Speaker 12: That's a style.
- 49:57Speaker 3: So this idiot, James Tallerico Dylan, the guy is literally
- 50:02Speaker 3: had a photograph of himself made eating a rib and
- 50:05Speaker 3: he's got the end of the rib wrapped in like
- 50:09Speaker 3: a bounty paper towel. Who does that? Not even women
- 50:14Speaker 3: do that, right, ladies of the typer Not even no women. Women.
- 50:18Speaker 3: They do the same thing. They pick up the rib
- 50:21Speaker 3: and they go to town.
- 50:22Speaker 12: Yeah, he probably washes his hands after each bite.
- 50:26Speaker 3: Oh you know he's got he's got the wet wipes.
- 50:28Speaker 12: The hand sanitizer on standby.
- 50:30Speaker 3: I need a squirt, I need a squart. So anyway,
- 50:37Speaker 3: someone made an observation about this guy that tall Ico is.
- 50:45Speaker 3: He's got the you know, I don't have gatar. This
- 50:48Speaker 3: is really good. I do not have gatar. But there
- 50:51Speaker 3: are people in the end. It's kind of a running joke.
- 50:54Speaker 3: But there are people in the business that have the
- 50:57Speaker 3: gatar and they say whenever in tall Rico shows up, it's.
- 51:00Speaker 13: Like me, me, me.
- 51:02Speaker 3: It's like something's not something's not clicking here. And so
- 51:08Speaker 3: Jesse Water was talking about this last night. It was
- 51:11Speaker 3: really hilarious because he was asking, does this guy like
- 51:14Speaker 3: have a girlfriend? He's thirty seven years old and he's
- 51:18Speaker 3: already a record as a matter of fact, yesterday, Oh
- 51:21Speaker 3: where is this? Yesterday? He was talking about what do
- 51:25Speaker 3: you love? You know, outside of your mom and dad
- 51:29Speaker 3: and what in God? What do you love? And he
- 51:33Speaker 3: actually told the person I just love trans children. Okay,
- 51:42Speaker 3: that's a little weird. Then the guy was out there
- 51:45Speaker 3: and he's saying talking about how he's got a problem
- 51:49Speaker 3: with his skin color and he's got a problem with
- 51:52Speaker 3: his manhood. Cut eleven.
- 51:55Speaker 18: For me, prophetic voices like Jesus have helped me reckon
- 51:58Speaker 18: with my own whiteness, my own masculinity, my own certainty,
- 52:03Speaker 18: my own ego. It's a never ending process and it's
- 52:07Speaker 18: a painful process.
- 52:10Speaker 3: So and again I'm just you know, when all of
- 52:14Speaker 3: this stuff is coming out about this guy, he believes
- 52:16Speaker 3: there are six genders they call him Low T. Tall Rico,
- 52:20Speaker 3: that's his nickname. He believes that God is non binary,
- 52:24Speaker 3: and he believes that the Bible affirms abortion. And I
- 52:28Speaker 3: don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican. I
- 52:32Speaker 3: think the average church going Texan is going to have
- 52:35Speaker 3: a problem with this guy. So now Jesse Waters last
- 52:39Speaker 3: night asking about whether or not the guy's got a girlfriend.
- 52:42Speaker 3: So there's there's a story out that James tall Rico
- 52:47Speaker 3: does in fact have a girlfriend, but he keeps her
- 52:51Speaker 3: under wraps. So they've been dating for four years. Nobody's
- 52:56Speaker 3: ever seen this woman. Nobody knows who she is. Anyway,
- 53:05Speaker 3: the question comes, and this is from the San Antonio Current,
- 53:08Speaker 3: when asked by a New York Times bestselling author whether
- 53:11Speaker 3: he has a girlfriend, the Austin politician revealed he did.
- 53:16Speaker 3: The question comes as online trolls have repeatedly questioned his sexuality.
- 53:22Speaker 3: Here's what Tallarico told the podcaster. She is my rock,
- 53:28Speaker 3: She's my best friend. I don't know if I could
- 53:31Speaker 3: have gotten through the last six months of this crazy
- 53:34Speaker 3: race if she hadn't been by my side. Well, here's
- 53:37Speaker 3: the problem. She hasn't been by a side. Nobody knows
- 53:41Speaker 3: who she is. Tall Rico's campaign said he met his
- 53:46Speaker 3: girlfriend when she was the chief of staff in his
- 53:49Speaker 3: Texas House Legislative office, and they've been together for four years.
- 53:53Speaker 3: After they developed feelings for each other, she left the
- 53:56Speaker 3: office to pursue other opportunities, and they've been together since.
- 54:02Speaker 3: Mister tall Rico goes on to say, we became best
- 54:05Speaker 3: friends and then we fell in love and we've been
- 54:09Speaker 3: together ever since. Tallo Rico's campaign asked the current not
- 54:18Speaker 3: to publish the woman's name out of fear for her safety. Wait,
- 54:23Speaker 3: what's that all about? Tall Ico said, what I'm trying
- 54:30Speaker 3: to do is protect her and my family and my
- 54:33Speaker 3: friends from the impacts of this race. Was very kind
- 54:38Speaker 3: of you. Don't you buy any of this. It's kind
- 54:44Speaker 3: of weird, isn't it.
- 54:45Speaker 12: Uh, Yeah, I'm not really buying it. It sounds like
- 54:48Speaker 12: he just stole it out of a fairy tale book.
- 54:50Speaker 3: Very odd, Yeah, very odd. I'm wondering if there's a
- 54:55Speaker 3: Vegas poll the odds of this guy. And again, there's
- 54:59Speaker 3: nothing wrong with me. If you want to be, you know, gay,
- 55:01Speaker 3: you'd be gay. But you know, I'm not sure he's
- 55:03Speaker 3: trying to fool here. Is there a better shot he's
- 55:07Speaker 3: a vegan, or that he's got a girlfriend. Oh, we
- 55:12Speaker 3: gotta take a break. This is the top start show. Yeah,
- 55:20Speaker 3: it was sort of like remember Bill de Blasio, the
- 55:23Speaker 3: mayor of New York City, tried to eat a slice
- 55:27Speaker 3: of cheese pizza with a knife and fork. Nobody does
- 55:30Speaker 3: that in come On or met Romney when he came
- 55:33Speaker 3: down to the South. Remember Met Romney and he was
- 55:36Speaker 3: trying to tell people that he liked grit's. I love
- 55:40Speaker 3: grit sir, it's called grits. I love the fried chicken.
- 55:46Speaker 3: And he literally tore the chicken skin off the fried
- 55:50Speaker 3: chicken and discarded it and then ate the chicken. Nobody
- 55:54Speaker 3: does that in the South. The best part of the
- 55:56Speaker 3: fried chicken is the skin. It's fingerlicking good. Met Rodney,
- 56:00Speaker 3: No wonder you lost the election anyway. Let's go to
- 56:03Speaker 3: John and Georgia. John, what's on your mind?
- 56:07Speaker 8: Tod it's your old friend John from Jossonville.
- 56:10Speaker 3: What's going on? John?
- 56:12Speaker 8: Well, before I get to Iran, I just want to
- 56:14Speaker 8: I heard you talking about a new Texas barbecue place there,
- 56:19Speaker 8: and I was gonna tell you if you're gonna start
- 56:21Speaker 8: going there, you better go ahead. And put a down
- 56:23Speaker 8: payment on that next heart treatment.
- 56:26Speaker 3: John, you know what, We're gonna run out of time here,
- 56:28Speaker 3: so we're gonna hold you over. But let me address
- 56:31Speaker 3: that question, sir. I've actually been eating the turkey at
- 56:34Speaker 3: the barbecue joint.
- 56:37Speaker 8: Well, the turkey's not bad.
- 56:39Speaker 3: No, it better not be it. They tell me it's
- 56:42Speaker 3: supposed to be healthy for you. So I hear you, John,
- 56:46Speaker 3: We're gonna put you on the whole because I want
- 56:48Speaker 3: to finish our conversation here. He's talking about Bain's Barbecue.
- 56:52Speaker 3: It's a Texas brisket joint that just opened up literally
- 56:55Speaker 3: around the corner from my home, and man as it
- 56:58Speaker 3: could at least the turkey is and the salad yum yum,
- 57:04Speaker 3: past the ranch dressing place. We'll be right back, all right,
- 57:24Speaker 3: Welcome back, everybody. This is the Tom Stearns Radio Show
- 57:28Speaker 3: talking to my publisher in between the commercial breaks, and
- 57:32Speaker 3: we're the book cover off to the presses and we
- 57:36Speaker 3: will have the book, I believe in stores sometime in July,
- 57:40Speaker 3: The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America. So I want
- 57:42Speaker 3: to make sure you get yourself a pre ordered copy
- 57:45Speaker 3: of that. In all seriousness, the last two books The
- 57:49Speaker 3: book literally sold out on the first day, so we're
- 57:52Speaker 3: trying to get people to pre order so the bookstores
- 57:56Speaker 3: around the nation will know exactly how many orders they
- 57:59Speaker 3: need to have, how many copies of the Golden Age
- 58:01Speaker 3: they need to have. So again, head over to Amazon,
- 58:04Speaker 3: Barnes and Noble Book Similian and pre order a copy
- 58:06Speaker 3: of The Golden Age. Al Trump saved America real quick.
- 58:10Speaker 3: I want to go back to John, who is very
- 58:13Speaker 3: concerned about my health going to the Texas Brisket Joint
- 58:16Speaker 3: in Memphis. I think we've resolved that issue. And John,
- 58:20Speaker 3: you want to talk about drones and Iran, what's going on?
- 58:24Speaker 8: Well, Todd, I'm retired military and I just don't understand
- 58:29Speaker 8: with our intelligence why we can't knock out all these
- 58:33Speaker 8: drone bases and these drone factories and take out the
- 58:37Speaker 8: Republican Guard, just wipe them out. And if we did
- 58:41Speaker 8: all that, you know, we wouldn't be having all these issues.
- 58:45Speaker 8: And this last plan that I heard on the radio
- 58:47Speaker 8: earlier today that they said they're waiting for Trump to approve,
- 58:52Speaker 8: I hope he doesn't improve it. I think they're going
- 58:54Speaker 8: to have to go back in and start bombing again.
- 58:57Speaker 8: I mean that's just my opinion because they're they're just
- 59:02Speaker 8: wasting time right now.
- 59:03Speaker 3: The Iranians are, well you yeah, that's exactly and that's
- 59:08Speaker 3: my you know, I think John, you and I shared
- 59:10Speaker 3: that concern, is that this really is a waste of time.
- 59:13Speaker 3: Iran has no that they've got no interest in having
- 59:16Speaker 3: peace in the in the Middle East.
- 59:20Speaker 8: That's right. And and one more thing before I get
- 59:22Speaker 8: off your time, I've been wanting to tell you I
- 59:25Speaker 8: used to have a hard time listening to Rush Limbaugh.
- 59:29Speaker 8: I mean, I listened to him occasionally, but I just
- 59:32Speaker 8: I don't know, I didn't I didn't enjoy it all
- 59:35Speaker 8: that much. I think you are much much better than
- 59:37Speaker 8: Rush Limbaugh. And I enjoyed listening to you, and I
- 59:41Speaker 8: think feel like you're more honest and you have more
- 59:44Speaker 8: honest opinions. And uh, it's just a joy to get
- 59:48Speaker 8: to listen to you. I just want to go to
- 59:50Speaker 8: you to know that.
- 59:50Speaker 3: John, John, that means a lot. And of course I
- 59:53Speaker 3: love Rush Limbaugh and grew up listening to Rush and uh,
- 59:56Speaker 3: you know, we're we're just honored to be able to
- 59:58Speaker 3: broadcast nude to three Eastern and uh, and we appreciate
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: all of you, John, And again, you know, we we
- 1:00:05Speaker 3: just have a good time on the radio. It's a
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: conversation and I think we're missing a lot of that
- 1:00:10Speaker 3: these days, and in talk radio. I was I was
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: talking to our team about that this morning on our
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: staff meeting about how you know, a lot of a
- 1:00:17Speaker 3: lot of talk show hosts talk at people and they
- 1:00:20Speaker 3: don't listen and they don't have conversations. And we try
- 1:00:23Speaker 3: to do that here here on this program. John. Uh,
- 1:00:27Speaker 3: if you're in Memphis, I'm going to take you for
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: turkey at the brisket place.
- 1:00:31Speaker 19: Oh.
- 1:00:32Speaker 8: I have to have brisket, all right. I'd rather brisk
- 1:00:35Speaker 8: I'm from Texas and I'd rather have Texas brisket than
- 1:00:38Speaker 8: a t bone. Stay.
- 1:00:39Speaker 3: Let me tay amen to that brother. You guys, I
- 1:00:42Speaker 3: don't know how they do it, but that brisket in
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: Texas it is off the chain, all right, John, God
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: bless you, my friend, and thank you for those kind words.
- 1:00:50Speaker 3: Want to go to the Patriot Mobile news maker line
- 1:00:52Speaker 3: say hello to our good buddy, Republican strategist Luke Cymbol. Luke,
- 1:00:58Speaker 3: where are you? You're on the campaign trail? Are you
- 1:01:00Speaker 3: somewhere in Tennessee?
- 1:01:01Speaker 20: I understand I am in Tennessee. Todd Yes, usually I
- 1:01:05Speaker 20: would join via zoom or in studio there, but I
- 1:01:09Speaker 20: am on the campaign trail. I am in Williamson County,
- 1:01:12Speaker 20: which is just south of Nashville and Tennessee, in the
- 1:01:15Speaker 20: new Tennessee District nine. As I'm sure your listeners know
- 1:01:19Speaker 20: by now, Tennessee has redrawn its congressional districts. We are
- 1:01:24Speaker 20: going from eight Republicans one Democrat to now nine Republican districts,
- 1:01:29Speaker 20: and so Republicans are fired up across the state. Our
- 1:01:32Speaker 20: state legislature did it right. They took Trump's call, they
- 1:01:38Speaker 20: followed the law, they changed the districts, and the courts.
- 1:01:41Speaker 20: Just this week, the Court of Appeals in the state
- 1:01:44Speaker 20: of Tennessee upheld the new maps. And so we are
- 1:01:48Speaker 20: off to the races. And it's an exciting time to
- 1:01:50Speaker 20: be a Republican in the state of Tennessee.
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: And of course, State Senator Brent Taylor, who's been a
- 1:01:55Speaker 3: regular guest on this program, wants to go to Congress,
- 1:01:58Speaker 3: and he has been fighting tooth and nail for the
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: entire state of Tennessee. And certainly I mean the crowds
- 1:02:06Speaker 3: and the reaction and the response, I know you've got
- 1:02:08Speaker 3: a lot of other people in the race, but Brent
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: Taylor really seems to be doing quite well.
- 1:02:14Speaker 20: It's true, Todd, and what we're seeing is Brent, as
- 1:02:18Speaker 20: you know, spot for Memphis. Starting three or four years ago,
- 1:02:22Speaker 20: we started taking on Memphis Soros BACKDA, that is the
- 1:02:26Speaker 20: only Soros funded DA in the state of Tennessee. He
- 1:02:29Speaker 20: started taking him on. He pushed back against the business community.
- 1:02:33Speaker 20: He told him to stop talking about the crime problem
- 1:02:35Speaker 20: in Memphis, who told him to leave the DA alone.
- 1:02:37Speaker 20: He took on even fellow Republicans demanding that they do
- 1:02:41Speaker 20: more for Memphis, and we saw what happened has resulted
- 1:02:45Speaker 20: is Make Memphis Matter initiative went from the streets of
- 1:02:48Speaker 20: Memphis and all the way to the Oval Office with
- 1:02:50Speaker 20: the Memphis State Sash Force and President Trump listening and
- 1:02:53Speaker 20: saying I want to save this great American city. And
- 1:02:56Speaker 20: literally in six months, Prime has been cut in half.
- 1:03:00Speaker 20: So now with this new Congressional district, Senator Brent Taylor
- 1:03:04Speaker 20: is taking his message of fighting for the people of
- 1:03:07Speaker 20: Memphis and Shelby County and saying I want to do
- 1:03:09Speaker 20: the same thing for you and fight for this new
- 1:03:12Speaker 20: Congressional district for the entire state of Tennessee and his
- 1:03:16Speaker 20: new slogan todd It's gone from make Memphis matter to
- 1:03:19Speaker 20: take Tennessee to the top. And folks are responding. He
- 1:03:22Speaker 20: has endorsements from Marshall Blackburn, Bill Haggerty, are two US
- 1:03:26Speaker 20: Senators here in Tennessee, a whole host of Congression, of
- 1:03:30Speaker 20: our congressional delegation here in the state of Tennessee. And
- 1:03:33Speaker 20: we're rocking and rolling. He's raising the money. He put
- 1:03:35Speaker 20: a million dollars of his own money in the race,
- 1:03:37Speaker 20: and I think he's the clear front runner right now.
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: Wow, that's well, it's tremendous. You know. I want to
- 1:03:42Speaker 3: switch gears your nationally. There's a report out of CNN.
- 1:03:46Speaker 3: I want to play this audio. Apparently rhinos are in
- 1:03:50Speaker 3: shock right now and the reason why is because of
- 1:03:54Speaker 3: Donald Trump's net GOP approval rating. Take a listen. I
- 1:03:59Speaker 3: just want you to look here. I mean, this just
- 1:04:00Speaker 3: tells you everything that you need to know. Which is
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: the net favoral rating with the GOP of Donald Trump.
- 1:04:05Speaker 3: You have George W.
- 1:04:05Speaker 10: Bush before Donald Trump declared back in May of twenty fifteen.
- 1:04:08Speaker 10: Look at this, George W. Bush's net favoral rating was
- 1:04:10Speaker 10: plus fifty eight points. Donald Trump was forty five points
- 1:04:13Speaker 10: underwater with Republicans. Look at this, this isn't a hundred
- 1:04:17Speaker 10: over one hundred point shift. I do believe Donald Trump
- 1:04:19Speaker 10: is now at plus sixty one. That's over a hundred
- 1:04:22Speaker 10: point shift in the positive direction for Trump. And look
- 1:04:24Speaker 10: at what happened to George W.
- 1:04:25Speaker 3: Bush.
- 1:04:26Speaker 10: He dropped by forty points from plus fifty eight to
- 1:04:28Speaker 10: plus seventeen.
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: So George W.
- 1:04:30Speaker 10: Bush has fallen through the floor since Donald Trump, of course,
- 1:04:33Speaker 10: first really appeared on the political scene, first ran for
- 1:04:35Speaker 10: president for the Republican nomination back in twenty fifteen. Declaring
- 1:04:38Speaker 10: in June of twenty fifteen, while George W. Bush simply
- 1:04:42Speaker 10: put as I said, his Republican party is that Republican
- 1:04:45Speaker 10: voters are very lukewarm on him, and Republican voters are
- 1:04:47Speaker 10: still very hot to trot con Donald Trump. And you
- 1:04:50Speaker 10: saw that in George W. Bush's home state of Texas
- 1:04:54Speaker 10: on Tuesday Night with John cornon. Of course, a Bush
- 1:04:56Speaker 10: air Republican going down to a historic defeat. Is that
- 1:05:00Speaker 10: Donald Trump, it's his party across the political map. Even
- 1:05:03Speaker 10: in George W. Bush's backyard.
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting, Luke, this turned out to be
- 1:05:08Speaker 3: the worst loss for a GOP, a sitting GOP senator
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: since World War Two. I'm wondering, what do you make
- 1:05:15Speaker 3: of this, the idea that this is really no longer
- 1:05:18Speaker 3: the Bush Republican Party, it is the Trump Republican Party.
- 1:05:23Speaker 20: It is true Trump is the king maker for Republicans.
- 1:05:27Speaker 20: And it's not just that it is Trump who, yes,
- 1:05:30Speaker 20: is a fighter and doesn't care what people think think
- 1:05:33Speaker 20: and wants to get things done. But it is that
- 1:05:35Speaker 20: America First agenda that we have problems here at home
- 1:05:40Speaker 20: in our own country. We are tired of our country
- 1:05:43Speaker 20: giving money to other countries to burn bridges when our
- 1:05:46Speaker 20: bridges need to be rebuilt here in America. We are
- 1:05:49Speaker 20: tired of building airports in other countries when we need
- 1:05:52Speaker 20: our airports rebuilt here in America. It is issue after
- 1:05:56Speaker 20: issue after issue like that where Trump is saying, we
- 1:05:59Speaker 20: are going to put America first. And that is the message.
- 1:06:02Speaker 20: And so these rhinos, these weak Republicans that were just
- 1:06:05Speaker 20: waiting for Trump to go, waiting for his popularity to
- 1:06:09Speaker 20: go away so that they could bring back the old guard. No,
- 1:06:12Speaker 20: the American people have been very clear that the America
- 1:06:16Speaker 20: First agenda under President Trump is resonating and every single
- 1:06:20Speaker 20: Republican should get on board and support that agenda. And
- 1:06:26Speaker 20: Republican primary voters are powerful. That is another message to
- 1:06:30Speaker 20: the voters, and you keep letting your voice be heard
- 1:06:34Speaker 20: in the ballot box. Call your congress people and tell
- 1:06:37Speaker 20: them what you think. Because this was a big wake
- 1:06:39Speaker 20: up call for those soft Republicans, those Rhinos that we
- 1:06:44Speaker 20: still have, they are going to listen to you more,
- 1:06:47Speaker 20: I think because they can see what happens in a primary.
- 1:06:50Speaker 3: You know, I think it's interesting when you take a
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: look at the Bush family, and really I'm not sure
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: the Republicans had the political dynasties that the Democrat Party had,
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: and I think the Bushes would certainly be I would
- 1:07:03Speaker 3: say the closest example of that, and Barbara Bush especially,
- 1:07:08Speaker 3: you know, she kept this rollodex and Barbara Bush was
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: like the gatekeeper to Bush World and whenever one of
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: the boys was running for a public office. You know,
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: that's why they were able to get those big dollar donations.
- 1:07:21Speaker 3: So for for somebody like a Ken Paxton to go
- 1:07:25Speaker 3: up against that kind of force in Texas, Luke, I
- 1:07:29Speaker 3: think we're watching a sort of changing of the guard
- 1:07:32Speaker 3: within the establishment Republican or what it means to be
- 1:07:36Speaker 3: the leadership of the Republican Party.
- 1:07:39Speaker 20: Well, and look at what's happened to the Bush family
- 1:07:41Speaker 20: since then. I mean, I don't know that they're public
- 1:07:43Speaker 20: about it, but I'm pretty sure we can. We can
- 1:07:46Speaker 20: guess that they voted for Hillary Clinton. We know that
- 1:07:49Speaker 20: they are not Trump supporters. We know that they are
- 1:07:52Speaker 20: big corning types. The daughters live in New York City
- 1:07:55Speaker 20: and have very liberal views and speak out now in
- 1:07:59Speaker 20: favor of abortion and things like that. And so look
- 1:08:03Speaker 20: what Trump exposed the uniparty in this country. Trump exposed
- 1:08:08Speaker 20: that the Republican Party wasn't really willing to do what
- 1:08:12Speaker 20: it talked about wanting to do. They just went along
- 1:08:15Speaker 20: to get along. And so now with Donald Trump, that
- 1:08:18Speaker 20: has ended. No more can a Republican go along to
- 1:08:21Speaker 20: get along. You must fight for the American first agenda,
- 1:08:24Speaker 20: like I was saying earlier, and that is what Trump
- 1:08:27Speaker 20: has done. Trump has also exposed the media. And if
- 1:08:30Speaker 20: Trump has only accomplished those two things, it has been
- 1:08:34Speaker 20: a very very good thing for politics in America. But
- 1:08:37Speaker 20: of course we know that's not true. Our country will
- 1:08:40Speaker 20: never be the same and it's for the better because
- 1:08:42Speaker 20: of President Trump.
- 1:08:43Speaker 3: Luke symbol joining us on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line today.
- 1:08:47Speaker 3: You know, Luke when you look at them at the
- 1:08:50Speaker 3: mid terms. What are you guys hearing You're traveling across
- 1:08:54Speaker 3: many parts of Tennessee right now. What are you hearing
- 1:08:58Speaker 3: from the good people and the volunteers. What are the
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: big issues on their mind?
- 1:09:02Speaker 20: The big issues that Todd do. You have been talking
- 1:09:04Speaker 20: about this, banging the table for months and months and months.
- 1:09:09Speaker 20: The economy, affordability, gas prices, utility prices. We have a
- 1:09:15Speaker 20: lot of companies moving into Tennessee. We have a lot
- 1:09:18Speaker 20: of people moving into Tennessee, and the utility rates are
- 1:09:21Speaker 20: going up. That is the first issue that a lot
- 1:09:24Speaker 20: of folks are talking about. The other big, big issue,
- 1:09:27Speaker 20: and it is an issue that touches all other issues,
- 1:09:30Speaker 20: is immigration. Republican primary voters are done. They want every
- 1:09:35Speaker 20: single illegal alien out of the country. Whether they committed
- 1:09:39Speaker 20: an additional prime or not, they don't care. They want
- 1:09:42Speaker 20: them out of the country. And legal immigration. Todd folks
- 1:09:45Speaker 20: want to restrict lead the number of legal immigrations because
- 1:09:49Speaker 20: we have so many people looking for work. We do
- 1:09:51Speaker 20: have an affordability problem. We should not be giving one
- 1:09:54Speaker 20: American job to a foreigner. And so those are the
- 1:09:57Speaker 20: big issues, is affordability and and of course those two
- 1:10:01Speaker 20: things are interrelated.
- 1:10:03Speaker 3: All right, Luke, we're gonna have to leave it there,
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: my friend, keep up the great work out there on
- 1:10:07Speaker 3: the campaign trail.
- 1:10:09Speaker 20: Thank you, Tod.

- 1:10:13Speaker 3: State Senator Brent Taylor in Tennessee. That is the ninth
- 1:10:17Speaker 3: Congressional district race. A lot a lot going on in

- 1:10:26Speaker 3: Republicans are standing up and being Republican South Carolina, you

- 1:11:27Speaker 3: to you free of charge. Give them a call eight
- 1:11:29Speaker 3: hundred ninety nine nine ninety six ninety that's eight hundred
- 1:11:34Speaker 3: ninety six ninety will text you the information right away.
- 1:11:38Speaker 3: Text end data rates may apply. All right, Welcome back, everybody.
- 1:11:53Speaker 3: This is the Tod Stearns Radio Show. This is insane.
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: It turns out that the Permitive Health and Human Services
- 1:12:02Speaker 3: launching a nationwide audit of all fifty states. So they
- 1:12:07Speaker 3: had these autism programs, and in North Carolina, for example,
- 1:12:12Speaker 3: the autism program was off the charts. I want you
- 1:12:16Speaker 3: to listen to cut twenty nine plays and.
- 1:12:19Speaker 21: Now we'll audit all fifty American states looking for potentially
- 1:12:23Speaker 21: massive fraud in the billing of autism treatment. This is
- 1:12:28Speaker 21: happening now, I'm in a recent explosion in spending on
- 1:12:31Speaker 21: autism services. North Carolina alone apparently saw an eleven thousand
- 1:12:37Speaker 21: percent increase in the last four years.
- 1:12:40Speaker 3: Why was that?
- 1:12:41Speaker 21: Good question for Alexandria Hoff live in DC, alex olol.
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: Good morning, hey, Bill.
- 1:12:46Speaker 22: Yet is a good question because according to that data
- 1:12:48Speaker 22: coming out of North Carolina, the use of taxpayer funded
- 1:12:51Speaker 22: autism services is significantly outpacing the number of children being diagnosed.
- 1:12:56Speaker 22: So something's not right there, and it's not just in
- 1:12:58Speaker 22: the Tarhill state. Analysis by the Cato Institute found that
- 1:13:01Speaker 22: in five years, medicaid billing has surged in every other
- 1:13:05Speaker 22: state that makes their data public. For money spent on
- 1:13:08Speaker 22: ABA therapy, it's applied behavior analysis, that's what it's called
- 1:13:12Speaker 22: for reference. Minnesota's ABA spending increased by about fifty one
- 1:13:17Speaker 22: thousand percent since twenty eighteen. We all know what happened there.
- 1:13:19Speaker 22: President Trump spoke on that yesterday.
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: So that was manyas that dollars just being stolen.
- 1:13:26Speaker 10: Everybody had autism, Everybody had authism.
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: They said it.
- 1:13:31Speaker 23: Was incredible, actually, and I really, I mean, I've just
- 1:13:36Speaker 23: seen so much see what they're doing.
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: You haven't seen anything yet.
- 1:13:42Speaker 22: You know, it's not necessarily malice everywhere. That hasn't been
- 1:13:45Speaker 22: proven yet. ABA therapy is considered a critical resource for
- 1:13:48Speaker 22: children diagnosed with autism, but given its complicated billing structure
- 1:13:52Speaker 22: incentive to overbill an influx of private equity back providers
- 1:13:56Speaker 22: into that space, it's really being looked at like a
- 1:13:58Speaker 22: gold rush. Audit so far by ahhs's Office of Inspector
- 1:14:02Speaker 22: Generals and covered one hundred and ninety eight million dollars
- 1:14:04Speaker 22: in improper payments made in just four states, four hundred
- 1:14:08Speaker 22: and ten million dollars incorrectly build and examining this really
- 1:14:12Speaker 22: depends on each state's ability to organize and analyze its
- 1:14:15Speaker 22: own spending. That's why AHHS is now deploying AI tools
- 1:14:18Speaker 22: to double check that oversight and try to root out
- 1:14:21Speaker 22: any possible fraud.
- 1:14:22Speaker 9: Though.
- 1:14:22Speaker 3: Okay, wow, what is going on in North Carolina? You know,
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: if the entire Democrat Party apparatus, it's all a fraud,
- 1:14:31Speaker 3: it's a scam, it's a grift, and I suspect when
- 1:14:35Speaker 3: we finally get to the bottom of it, we could
- 1:14:37Speaker 3: have a trillion dollars worth of fraud and imagine ladies
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: and gentlemen getting to a point where we might even
- 1:14:45Speaker 3: be able to eliminate income tax as a result of
- 1:14:48Speaker 3: just eliminating all of the fraud. What a day. Nine
- 1:14:51Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six. This
- 1:14:54Speaker 3: story from Washington State. An elementary school was placed on
- 1:14:58Speaker 3: full lockdown over a report of a possible mountain lion
- 1:15:04Speaker 3: near the campus. I guess the mountain lion was hungry.
- 1:15:08Speaker 3: Saw all the little munchkins there, and I thought, oh,
- 1:15:10Speaker 3: I'll have a snack a little happy beal. The elementary
- 1:15:14Speaker 3: school golf Elementary School of Moses Lake, Washington, went into
- 1:15:19Speaker 3: lockdown after the teacher spotted the mountain lion Dylan. They
- 1:15:23Speaker 3: called the cops. When the cops showed up, they discovered
- 1:15:26Speaker 3: the mountain lion was actually a morbidly obese house cat.
- 1:15:31Speaker 3: So there you go, still hungry though, hanging tied, everybody.
- 1:15:37Speaker 3: Hour three of the Big Show coming up.
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: Next, live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: It's America's favorite gun Totin Bible clinging deplorable America.
- 1:16:08Speaker 6: That's us that.
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: This American.
- 1:16:15Speaker 3: Todd starts hoday, Well, hello, everybody. Our three of the
- 1:16:20Speaker 3: big show. Great to have you with us for this
- 1:16:23Speaker 3: hour of the program. By the way, tonight five o'clock
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: Eastern the Tod Stearns Show on Newsmax, so be sure
- 1:16:30Speaker 3: to check that out as well. We Michael Wattley is
- 1:16:34Speaker 3: going to be joining us. He is running for the
- 1:16:36Speaker 3: US Senate in North Carolina. I want to go right
- 1:16:39Speaker 3: away to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. Our good buddy,
- 1:16:42Speaker 3: Harry Hurley, host of Hurley in the Morning WPG Radio
- 1:16:46Speaker 3: in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Harry, hope you're doing well today,
- 1:16:51Speaker 3: thought I am, well. You well, Thank you, and Harry,
- 1:16:56Speaker 3: we're getting a little bit of a little echo, but
- 1:16:58Speaker 3: I think we've got that, hopefully out. Otherwise we're going
- 1:17:01Speaker 3: to hear you twice as much, which is really not
- 1:17:03Speaker 3: a bad thing when you think about it.
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: Good to be with you, Todd.
- 1:17:07Speaker 3: By the way, Harry, I am so disappointed. You and
- 1:17:10Speaker 3: I were supposed to be together at the Talker's Convention
- 1:17:13Speaker 3: and we were gonna have like it was gonna be
- 1:17:16Speaker 3: a big deal. You were actually going to interview me
- 1:17:18Speaker 3: on stage, and of course my cardiologist has grounded me,
- 1:17:22Speaker 3: so I'm stuck in Memphis for the next little while.
- 1:17:25Speaker 3: I am so disappointed. I'm going to miss that great event.
- 1:17:28Speaker 24: Me too, Todd. It would have been a great time.
- 1:17:30Speaker 24: We'll do it next.
- 1:17:32Speaker 3: Time, definitely. We are and of course talkers. You know,
- 1:17:35Speaker 3: our good friend Michael Harrison puts that convention on and
- 1:17:38Speaker 3: just does a really remarkable job. And I don't know
- 1:17:41Speaker 3: what I love the most. It's you know, the panel discussions,
- 1:17:44Speaker 3: or just the fellowship with a lot of you know,
- 1:17:46Speaker 3: other talk radio hosts. You know, we don't get to
- 1:17:48Speaker 3: see each other very often, It's the truth.
- 1:17:51Speaker 24: We do speak. But to have that many at the
- 1:17:54Speaker 24: same place at the same time is very special. And Todd,
- 1:17:57Speaker 24: you've been at so many of them. This is just
- 1:18:00Speaker 24: fluke that you're not going to be here this year.
- 1:18:03Speaker 24: You're so important to that conference and I was really
- 1:18:07Speaker 24: looking forward to our one on one. But we'll do it.
- 1:18:10Speaker 3: It'll happen, we'll get it. We'll get it next year,
- 1:18:12Speaker 3: so no doubt about that.
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: Erry.
- 1:18:15Speaker 3: I'm going to ask you this now because I will
- 1:18:17Speaker 3: forget once we start talking about politics. But Saturday, yours
- 1:18:21Speaker 3: truly has been invited to be a guest expert judge
- 1:18:26Speaker 3: at the Memphis Italian Festival, and I am going to
- 1:18:30Speaker 3: be judging the gravy contest, and I don't know. I
- 1:18:34Speaker 3: know you guys have a lot of Italians there in
- 1:18:36Speaker 3: the in the Atlantic City area. Any any guidance on
- 1:18:40Speaker 3: what makes a good Italian gravy a gravy?
- 1:18:44Speaker 24: Well, that's very interesting because I note you said gravy
- 1:18:47Speaker 24: and not sauce, so that right off the bat gives
- 1:18:51Speaker 24: you cred going in. I would say that it is
- 1:18:55Speaker 24: flavor and maybe even the palette of the consumer saying, hey,
- 1:19:01Speaker 24: that's a little bit different in a really good way.
- 1:19:05Speaker 24: What else is in there besides the usual ingredients? You
- 1:19:09Speaker 24: might get a little surprised, Todd.
- 1:19:11Speaker 3: I'm excited about this, Harry, and I've been doing a
- 1:19:13Speaker 3: lot of training. I went down to Kroger, I got
- 1:19:15Speaker 3: the prey go Rabou, you know, all the sauces. Yeah,
- 1:19:18Speaker 3: and apparently that was not right. So I went I
- 1:19:21Speaker 3: was working on thinking, okay, I got to go to
- 1:19:23Speaker 3: the Olive Garden for the next couple of days. I
- 1:19:24Speaker 3: got to do something like training here.
- 1:19:27Speaker 24: Yeah, you went from sauce to grady, so the upgrade
- 1:19:30Speaker 24: is there. I have confidence in you. Everything you do,
- 1:19:33Speaker 24: you do well, You'll do that well too.
- 1:19:35Speaker 3: I'll do my best. I want to Again, I'm a German,
- 1:19:38Speaker 3: so you know I want to make sure I do
- 1:19:39Speaker 3: the Italian people good here. So that's good, all right, Harry,
- 1:19:45Speaker 3: We got to talk politics here, and this is just
- 1:19:48Speaker 3: it's a shocking thing that happened in Texas. I understand
- 1:19:52Speaker 3: see it as reporting. This was the worst loss for
- 1:19:55Speaker 3: a GOP senator since World War Two, And I'm just wondering,
- 1:20:00Speaker 3: what do you make of what's going on right now
- 1:20:01Speaker 3: within the Republican Party.
- 1:20:04Speaker 24: Well, it was not a shock. That's just what people say.
- 1:20:08Speaker 24: If you remember, and I hope you marked the tape
- 1:20:10Speaker 24: on your NEWSMAC show. At the very end of our interview,
- 1:20:14Speaker 24: I said it would be Paxton and that we would
- 1:20:17Speaker 24: know within an hour that it would not be a
- 1:20:19Speaker 24: late night It was over. He was probably winning a
- 1:20:24Speaker 24: week before election day. Once that Tuesday before election day,
- 1:20:28Speaker 24: one week out was the perfect timing by President Trump,
- 1:20:32Speaker 24: who always knows how to make a perfect entrance. As
- 1:20:36Speaker 24: soon as he endorsed Ken Paxton, the Attorney General, over
- 1:20:39Speaker 24: the four term United States Senator John Cornyn Todd Starns,
- 1:20:43Speaker 24: it was over. I'm not surprised at the margin and
- 1:20:47Speaker 24: the moment that President Trump endorsed. There's a reason that
- 1:20:50Speaker 24: he's a what one hundred and nineteen and zher in Senate,
- 1:20:56Speaker 24: House seat and governor endorsements. His endorsement is everything in
- 1:21:01Speaker 24: these Republican primaries, and it's not like anything radical like
- 1:21:05Speaker 24: the Democrat side. They are nominating and they are electing
- 1:21:10Speaker 24: the most radical people we've ever seen. This is not
- 1:21:13Speaker 24: that Paxton has been elected at large three times at
- 1:21:17Speaker 24: least in Texas. He'll be a great nominee. They're gonna
- 1:21:21Speaker 24: play this game. Oh, it would have been over now,
- 1:21:23Speaker 24: it's one to watch. Oh, it only leans Republican. Now,
- 1:21:27Speaker 24: let's not get Beto O'Rourke. That's an action verb now
- 1:21:31Speaker 24: or Stacy Abrams. All these people they say are gonna win.
- 1:21:34Speaker 24: Todd Ken, Paxton holds serve he wins the seat. They're
- 1:21:40Speaker 24: gonna have to spend money because it's sensational. What the
- 1:21:43Speaker 24: legacy media is gonna do about this? And you can't
- 1:21:46Speaker 24: take anything for granted Paxton wins, Tallarico can go back
- 1:21:50Speaker 24: to Vegan. He's faking now, like he eats ribs. Todd,
- 1:21:55Speaker 24: he's a joke, He's Beto O'Rourke. You know two point
- 1:21:58Speaker 24: zero No.
- 1:21:58Speaker 3: I look I've think Bobby Francis, you know, they call
- 1:22:01Speaker 3: him Beto, but we called him the fake Mexican. His
- 1:22:04Speaker 3: real name is Robert Francis O'Rourke, and a little Bobby
- 1:22:08Speaker 3: Bobby is more of a Texas man than this dude is.
- 1:22:11Speaker 3: I think that's the funny thing about it. I think
- 1:22:13Speaker 3: we've got some audio here of of tall Ico actually
- 1:22:19Speaker 3: tasting one of those ribs. Yeah, Dylan, you don't have
- 1:22:24Speaker 3: this on your on your palate. I think I've got
- 1:22:26Speaker 3: it right over here. It's fabulous. I just love I
- 1:22:31Speaker 3: just love the taste of.
- 1:22:32Speaker 24: This authentic risk Todd. Heis from yugy to loving steak
- 1:22:37Speaker 24: in a country. Second, nobody's gonna.
- 1:22:39Speaker 2: Buy it, Todd.
- 1:22:40Speaker 3: I love the rib ticklers.
- 1:22:42Speaker 24: I know, I know he looks he looks so natural
- 1:22:45Speaker 24: doing it, very.
- 1:22:46Speaker 3: Natural, Yes, oh my gosh. But what what gets me
- 1:22:52Speaker 3: here is they actually would have been better off. I
- 1:22:55Speaker 3: think the Democrats would have been better off with Jasmine
- 1:22:57Speaker 3: Crockett then, because I'm not sure. Look, Harry, I don't
- 1:23:01Speaker 3: know what it's like the religious scene in in Atlantic City,
- 1:23:04Speaker 3: but I don't think the Blacks and the Hispanics are
- 1:23:07Speaker 3: going to go with this liberal theology this guy is
- 1:23:10Speaker 3: viewing about. You know, the Bible's pro abortion, you know,
- 1:23:13Speaker 3: God's non binary exactly.
- 1:23:16Speaker 24: Well, look, the electorate had a shot, the Democrat elector
- 1:23:20Speaker 24: had a shot to pick Jasmine Crockett, and Todd, they didn't.
- 1:23:24Speaker 24: That's how bad she is. Because this guy's terrible. The
- 1:23:27Speaker 24: Democrats should have disqualified him. But the alternative was so
- 1:23:31Speaker 24: infinitely worse that tell Erico gets to go to the
- 1:23:35Speaker 24: Big Dance in November. It's going to be expensive, Todd.
- 1:23:39Speaker 24: It's going to be a two hundred million dollar race,
- 1:23:42Speaker 24: maybe a little bit more, but Republicans will hold it
- 1:23:45Speaker 24: and we need to because there's some other things that
- 1:23:48Speaker 24: may go on. The till As seat may not be retained.
- 1:23:51Speaker 24: This is this election is no joke, Todd.
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: You know that.
- 1:23:56Speaker 3: No, it's it's not Harry. And you know, my only
- 1:23:59Speaker 3: concern is are the establishment Republicans going to get on
- 1:24:02Speaker 3: board or are they going to try to sabotage you know,
- 1:24:05Speaker 3: these races, because it's not just in Texas. We're looking
- 1:24:08Speaker 3: at some pretty spectacular things unfolding now in California, and Harry,
- 1:24:14Speaker 3: they're in New Jersey. I mean, you guys are on
- 1:24:16Speaker 3: the cusp of major political change there as well.
- 1:24:20Speaker 24: Until the last election, Todd, when Governor Mikey Cheryl won
- 1:24:24Speaker 24: by a record five hundred thousand votes. That was stunning
- 1:24:28Speaker 24: compared to what President Trump had done just a year before.
- 1:24:32Speaker 24: On whether Democrats will get on board, Todd, I'm very comfortable,
- 1:24:35Speaker 24: or rather Republicans will get on board. I'm very comfortable
- 1:24:38Speaker 24: that they will. John Thune did the right thing the
- 1:24:41Speaker 24: morning after the election, maybe it was even the night
- 1:24:44Speaker 24: of the election. He immediately endorsed Ken Paxton. And it
- 1:24:49Speaker 24: wasn't a fake thing. They're all in. They have to
- 1:24:52Speaker 24: be because keeping fifty or fifty one seats, and you
- 1:24:55Speaker 24: don't want fifty, you got to have at least fifty one.
- 1:24:58Speaker 24: I think Susan Collins will win, as you know, and
- 1:25:01Speaker 24: you've talked about him a lot, You've covered him a lot.
- 1:25:04Speaker 24: This Grand Platner is one of the most objectionable, disqualified,
- 1:25:09Speaker 24: unacceptable candidates for congressional office in American history.
- 1:25:13Speaker 3: It's unbelievable, shocking, and what I find fastering now is
- 1:25:18Speaker 3: Democrats are trying to talk this guy out of running
- 1:25:21Speaker 3: and stepping down. I don't know if he's going to
- 1:25:24Speaker 3: do it or not. But the idea that you can't
- 1:25:26Speaker 3: have Democrats coming out and saying, yeah, you know, having
- 1:25:29Speaker 3: a Nazi tattoo on your body disqualifies you. That's what
- 1:25:34Speaker 3: gets me here.
- 1:25:35Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 1:25:36Speaker 24: Or a hero who was injured in the line of
- 1:25:40Speaker 24: duty him saying that person should have died, that he
- 1:25:44Speaker 24: should have been killed by the enemy. I respect his service,
- 1:25:48Speaker 24: but I can't leave that without comment. Who does that, Todd?
- 1:25:52Speaker 24: Who says something like that?
- 1:25:54Speaker 3: It's a great question, Harry. I've got to switch gears
- 1:25:56Speaker 3: here because something really amazing is happening in our nation capital.
- 1:26:01Speaker 3: And President Trump is beautifying Washington, DC. And if you've
- 1:26:06Speaker 3: been to Washington over the past decade or so, you
- 1:26:10Speaker 3: know how filthy that place has become a lot of
- 1:26:13Speaker 3: the beautiful monuments with the fountains they weren't working covered
- 1:26:17Speaker 3: with graffiti. Today, the beautiful fountains in front of Union
- 1:26:22Speaker 3: Station have been officially reopened and water is flowing. Of course,
- 1:26:26Speaker 3: the Washington Mall looks amazing. And the President, I don't
- 1:26:31Speaker 3: think he's getting enough credit for the great work he's
- 1:26:34Speaker 3: doing to make our nation's capital beautiful again.
- 1:26:37Speaker 24: You could not be more right, my friend. And not
- 1:26:39Speaker 24: only that, Todd he gets grief for it, like they
- 1:26:42Speaker 24: try to put roadblocks in front of him. Who would
- 1:26:46Speaker 24: want to block a ballroom? We need a ballroom, Obama said,
- 1:26:49Speaker 24: we needed a ballroom. We're having state dinners and tents.
- 1:26:52Speaker 24: It's ridiculous, but they fight that he wants to put
- 1:26:55Speaker 24: beautiful arches up. He's got a lawsuit on that. It's
- 1:26:58Speaker 24: absolutely incredible. The one thing I know, having worked for
- 1:27:01Speaker 24: President Trump for three years in the hotel industry, is
- 1:27:05Speaker 24: he has a great eye. You look at all of
- 1:27:08Speaker 24: the improvements, the marble at the White House, tasteful gold,
- 1:27:12Speaker 24: with the history hallway of the presidents. There's even a
- 1:27:17Speaker 24: sign now to the Oval Office. It's all tasteful. He
- 1:27:21Speaker 24: does a beautiful job. He knows exactly what he's doing.
- 1:27:24Speaker 24: They know he knows what he's doing. They just subject
- 1:27:27Speaker 24: to anything he does. If Joe Biden wanted to put
- 1:27:30Speaker 24: a ballroom in Todd you think we would be talking
- 1:27:32Speaker 24: on the top Stars show that there's lawsuits to keep
- 1:27:35Speaker 24: from constructing a ballroom. They object to even the things
- 1:27:40Speaker 24: they agree with. It's that ridiculous.
- 1:27:43Speaker 3: So whenever I was in Washington, back when I was
- 1:27:46Speaker 3: in my Fox News years, I would travel down and
- 1:27:49Speaker 3: sometimes I'd spend two or three weeks working in DC
- 1:27:52Speaker 3: and I would go out on the mall and I
- 1:27:54Speaker 3: would walk the length of the mall from the Capitol
- 1:27:56Speaker 3: to the Lincoln Memorial and back, and I always had
- 1:28:00Speaker 3: to jump off of them all right around where the
- 1:28:03Speaker 3: reflecting pool was because of the stench. It just smelled.
- 1:28:07Speaker 3: It was ugly. And so President Trump went in and
- 1:28:11Speaker 3: they're redoing it, and of course it's going to be
- 1:28:13Speaker 3: a beautiful American flag blue. That'll be the color of
- 1:28:16Speaker 3: the water. Harry, this is the headline in the Washington
- 1:28:21Speaker 3: Post today. Did Trump pick the right blue for the
- 1:28:25Speaker 3: reflecting pool? We asked a pool guy, so they literally
- 1:28:31Speaker 3: the Washington Post went out and they tried to find
- 1:28:33Speaker 3: a swimming pool guy to find out whether or not,
- 1:28:37Speaker 3: you know, it was the right color, which the pool
- 1:28:39Speaker 3: guy said, yeah, looks great.
- 1:28:41Speaker 24: Yeah, because Todd the rusty gray was so attractive for
- 1:28:45Speaker 24: the last fifteen years. They're absolutely unbelievable. President Trump invited
- 1:28:50Speaker 24: me to the White House. And I know you've been
- 1:28:52Speaker 24: there at the President's invitation on a number of occasions.
- 1:28:55Speaker 24: You've done your show from the White House. And he
- 1:28:58Speaker 24: invited me on a very special Occagi when the Philadelphia
- 1:29:01Speaker 24: Eagles were at the White House. It was such an
- 1:29:04Speaker 24: amazing day to be there. The changes just since then,
- 1:29:09Speaker 24: in terms of the reduction in crime, the beautification efforts,
- 1:29:13Speaker 24: it's unbelievable. And if if if Brandon, the Mayor of
- 1:29:18Speaker 24: Chicago is listening, President Trump could clean that up too.
- 1:29:23Speaker 24: They ought to, They ought to take the help, Todd.
- 1:29:27Speaker 3: You know what, and they're not, and they refuse to.
- 1:29:29Speaker 3: But that's just who the Democrats are. Harry. We got
- 1:29:32Speaker 3: to leave it there, my friend. You know how it is.
- 1:29:33Speaker 3: We got to take a break here. But man, we
- 1:29:36Speaker 3: always appreciate your great commentary and always appreciate your friendship
- 1:29:41Speaker 3: as well.
- 1:29:42Speaker 24: Honor to be your friend, and it's great to be
- 1:29:44Speaker 24: on your show, Todd.
- 1:29:45Speaker 3: All right, care Harry Hurley, everybody. The King of Atlantic City,
- 1:29:49Speaker 3: New Jersey, we love him. By the way, this Washington
- 1:29:52Speaker 3: Post piece they're upset that Trump picked the color blue
- 1:29:57Speaker 3: for the for the water in the pool, and I
- 1:30:01Speaker 3: want to read this to you. Blue is a color
- 1:30:04Speaker 3: we associate with injury. Think of the modeled black and
- 1:30:09Speaker 3: blue of a bruise. It is the color of authority
- 1:30:12Speaker 3: and stereotypical masculinity of depression, but also tranquility, of cleanliness,
- 1:30:20Speaker 3: of cold, of winning first prize. What in the world
- 1:30:25Speaker 3: are these people talking about? By the way, you know,
- 1:30:27Speaker 3: Elvis liked the color blue, wrote a song about her,
- 1:30:30Speaker 3: sang a song about a blue swede shoes. Hey gotta
- 1:30:33Speaker 3: take a break. This is the Todd Sterns Show. By
- 1:30:47Speaker 3: the way, that Tallarico guy, he's also got a big
- 1:30:50Speaker 3: problem with the American flag. And he says that the
- 1:30:55Speaker 3: American flag is well problematic. And I'm not quite sure
- 1:31:00Speaker 3: what's problematic about the American flag, And he says, it's
- 1:31:05Speaker 3: it's complicated. It's really not all that complicated, to be
- 1:31:08Speaker 3: honest with you. The American flag. When you look at
- 1:31:12Speaker 3: that flag, those red and white stripes represent the thirteen
- 1:31:17Speaker 3: original colonies, and the beautiful stars on that beautiful blue background,
- 1:31:22Speaker 3: which no doubt has been triggered via staff of the
- 1:31:25Speaker 3: Washington Post. But those beautiful stars represent all fifty states.
- 1:31:30Speaker 3: So what exactly is problematic about the American flag? Ladies
- 1:31:36Speaker 3: and gentlemen, just curious about that. Nine oh one two
- 1:31:42Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six is our telephone number.
- 1:31:45Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 1:31:49Speaker 3: Oh Spencer prad By the way, on Fox and Friends,
- 1:31:52Speaker 3: I want you to hear what he had this ay
- 1:31:54Speaker 3: cut twenty.
- 1:31:54Speaker 2: Eight Independent or a Democrat.
- 1:31:57Speaker 10: Rick Caruso seems like a Republican ran as in Democrat.
- 1:32:00Speaker 2: How are you running?
- 1:32:01Speaker 23: Yeah, thankfully it's a nonpartisan race, so I don't have
- 1:32:04Speaker 23: to be either.
- 1:32:05Speaker 2: I have probably are you.
- 1:32:07Speaker 23: I'm a registered Republican, but my supporters are all Democrats
- 1:32:10Speaker 23: because Los Angeles is all Democrats. All the people financing
- 1:32:13Speaker 23: me are Democrats, all the meetings I take every day
- 1:32:16Speaker 23: are Democrats. Democrats are very angry with what happened to
- 1:32:19Speaker 23: Los Angeles. They were fed a bunch of livees by
- 1:32:22Speaker 23: Mayor Bass, who said she was gonna literally solve homelessness.
- 1:32:26Speaker 23: She was gonna do all these things she didn't do,
- 1:32:28Speaker 23: so they all of the people that put her actually
- 1:32:30Speaker 23: in office are now behind me. So it's a nonpartisan race.
- 1:32:33Speaker 23: There's no letter next to either of our names because
- 1:32:36Speaker 23: the mayor is not supposed to represent a party. They're
- 1:32:39Speaker 23: supposed to make you sure your moms are safe, your
- 1:32:41Speaker 23: houses don't burn down, and your tax money is going
- 1:32:44Speaker 23: to your infrastructure, not to fund drug addicts. So thankfully
- 1:32:47Speaker 23: I have Republicans that love me. I have Democrats who
- 1:32:50Speaker 23: love me. I have independence love me. Even some socialists
- 1:32:53Speaker 23: messaged me and they're.
- 1:32:54Speaker 2: Like, hey, don't be so mean to us, we like
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: you too.
- 1:32:57Speaker 23: I'm like, sorry, I don't mess with socialists.
- 1:33:01Speaker 3: Wow, good job. You know he had been avoiding the
- 1:33:04Speaker 3: conservative media, and I get it. I understand he's first
- 1:33:08Speaker 3: of all, it's a non partisan race and he is
- 1:33:11Speaker 3: trying to He's trying to win in a very very
- 1:33:14Speaker 3: dark blue city. I get that. But he did a
- 1:33:17Speaker 3: great job. And I'm telling you, Spencer Pratt has an
- 1:33:22Speaker 3: opportunity here. He has an opportunity to do what hasn't
- 1:33:28Speaker 3: been done in a very very long time in California.
- 1:33:32Speaker 3: And if he can pull this off, ladies and gentlemen,
- 1:33:35Speaker 3: this is a This is going to be pretty significant.
- 1:33:38Speaker 3: And then, by the way, again we have Michael Gates
- 1:33:41Speaker 3: on who's running for the attorney general spot in California,
- 1:33:44Speaker 3: Steve Hilton, who is leading in all of the polls.
- 1:33:48Speaker 3: This could be a pretty game changing election cycle for
- 1:33:53Speaker 3: the state of California. The challenge is, you gotta stay put, conservative,
- 1:33:58Speaker 3: stay put. Let's see what happens here, all right? Nine
- 1:34:01Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six. That
- 1:34:04Speaker 3: is our telephone number. This is the Tom Stearns Show.
- 1:34:36Speaker 3: All right, big, big problem in South Carolina. A lot
- 1:34:40Speaker 3: of Rhinos in the state capital. I mean they have
- 1:34:43Speaker 3: a majority the Republicans here in South Carolina. They can
- 1:34:46Speaker 3: really do whatever they want to do, just like in Tennessee,
- 1:34:49Speaker 3: for example. However, you have rhinos establishment Republicans that decided
- 1:34:57Speaker 3: to ignore the president's call the redistrict. Therefore, James Clyburn's
- 1:35:02Speaker 3: congressional seat is going to be safe, and it's a
- 1:35:06Speaker 3: missed opportunity. Well, we were honored to have Adam Morgan
- 1:35:10Speaker 3: joining us on the NEWSMAC Show last night. Here's a
- 1:35:13Speaker 3: little bit of that conversation.
- 1:35:14Speaker 2: Adam, good to have you with us.
- 1:35:16Speaker 3: And I just I don't mean to trigger our beloved
- 1:35:20Speaker 3: Newsmax audience here, but the sorry so and sos who
- 1:35:24Speaker 3: did this, correct me if I'm wrong, were freaking Republicans, sir?
- 1:35:28Speaker 2: Is that accurate?
- 1:35:30Speaker 25: Yeah, they were all Republicans. Supposedly. We call them rhinos
- 1:35:34Speaker 25: down here, Republicans in name only. But if there ever
- 1:35:37Speaker 25: was a name that fit for such a time, that's
- 1:35:40Speaker 25: the nickname. It was the majority leader of the Senate, which,
- 1:35:43Speaker 25: by the way, let's pause for a second and point
- 1:35:45Speaker 25: out that all of the Senate Republicans in the state
- 1:35:49Speaker 25: of South Carolina elected this guy to be their majority leader.
- 1:35:53Speaker 25: He's the one that killed it. He got on the
- 1:35:55Speaker 25: floor and gave a speech saying this was wrong, that
- 1:35:58Speaker 25: we're the strongest. The party is strongest when we have
- 1:36:01Speaker 25: a robust, strong Democrat party, and so therefore they need
- 1:36:05Speaker 25: representation in the maps. Fine, and we should go against Trump.
- 1:36:08Speaker 25: He actually said, we don't want that outside influence from DC.
- 1:36:12Speaker 25: You know, Trump's influence in the state of South Carolina.
- 1:36:16Speaker 25: And five of his colleagues joined with them, and they
- 1:36:19Speaker 25: blocked it. And so now they're saying, oh, we can't
- 1:36:21Speaker 25: do it, we can't pass it. As early votings started. Well,
- 1:36:24Speaker 25: if they hadn't drugged their feet for weeks, I would
- 1:36:26Speaker 25: even argue months we knew the Kalay decision was coming.
- 1:36:29Speaker 25: All these southern states like Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia who were
- 1:36:34Speaker 25: surprised and unprepared and saying they can't get it done, Well,
- 1:36:37Speaker 25: if you guys had just listened to conservatives in the
- 1:36:40Speaker 25: in South Carolina, the Freedom car has filed the bill
- 1:36:42Speaker 25: to do this in January but nobody wanted to give
- 1:36:45Speaker 25: it a hearing, nobody wanted to actually deal with a map.
- 1:36:48Speaker 25: And now they say, oh, we didn't have time, and
- 1:36:50Speaker 25: it's everything wrong with the Republican Party. Why do we
- 1:36:53Speaker 25: have such weak Republicans who want to lose?
- 1:36:57Speaker 3: It's a great question, and honest to goodness, a story
- 1:37:00Speaker 3: like this, I wish that Newsmax would just install a
- 1:37:03Speaker 3: wet bar right here in the studio so we could
- 1:37:06Speaker 3: work our way through these ridiculous stories. Because Adam, what
- 1:37:10Speaker 3: you just told me sounds very familiar to what the
- 1:37:14Speaker 3: Senate Majority Leader John Thune has been saying. Well, you know,
- 1:37:17Speaker 3: we really want to pass the Save America Act, but
- 1:37:20Speaker 3: we just ran we ran out of time. You know,
- 1:37:22Speaker 3: maybe next year or the year after. I'm just wondering
- 1:37:26Speaker 3: how long it's going to be until the voters of
- 1:37:30Speaker 3: South Carolina wake up and put a stop to this nonsense.
- 1:37:34Speaker 25: Yeah, that's the question is are they going to wake up?
- 1:37:36Speaker 25: I mean, the governor who's a Republican in South Carolina,
- 1:37:40Speaker 25: he said he wasn't going to call a special session.
- 1:37:42Speaker 25: He said he didn't support a new map. Our map
- 1:37:45Speaker 25: was fined. Then he said I won't pressure one way
- 1:37:47Speaker 25: or the other. And then he took to Twitter today saying, oh,
- 1:37:49Speaker 25: I'm so sorry this didn't get done too bad, and
- 1:37:52Speaker 25: once again, this is a Republican and so yeah, why
- 1:37:56Speaker 25: do Republicans elect John Thune as their majority leader in
- 1:38:00Speaker 25: the US Senate? Why do they do it in South Carolina?
- 1:38:03Speaker 25: And I once heard a quote that the problems with
- 1:38:05Speaker 25: our nation, the state that we're in, is as much
- 1:38:08Speaker 25: the cowardice of the right as the radical nature of
- 1:38:11Speaker 25: the left, and that we're living that. I mean, we
- 1:38:14Speaker 25: have New England who have fully jerrymandered every single seat
- 1:38:18Speaker 25: to make sure they got full Democrat representation in six
- 1:38:21Speaker 25: states when of them vote Republican. But in the Deep South,
- 1:38:25Speaker 25: we've allowed them to force us to unconstitutionally jerrymander on
- 1:38:30Speaker 25: the basis of race is blatantly racist, and give them
- 1:38:33Speaker 25: all these seats in red states and we finally have
- 1:38:37Speaker 25: the chance to undo it, and yet all these Republican
- 1:38:40Speaker 25: leaders across the South are just, you.
- 1:38:43Speaker 2: Know, sorry, can't do that.
- 1:38:44Speaker 25: We like Jim Clyburn, the radical Democrat who gave us
- 1:38:48Speaker 25: Obama and gave us Biden, because if you remember South
- 1:38:51Speaker 25: Carolina's first in the South primary Cliburn. This was their pick.
- 1:38:54Speaker 25: He used his network to get these guys in office.
- 1:38:58Speaker 25: On the Democrat side. We can't take him out because
- 1:39:01Speaker 25: you know, I'm just sorry. We don't have the willpower
- 1:39:04Speaker 25: and we don't want to do it. And so voters
- 1:39:06Speaker 25: need to wake up. You need to vote against all
- 1:39:07Speaker 25: the guys. We've tried to make these guys famous, and
- 1:39:10Speaker 25: I guarantee you we are not going to let this go.
- 1:39:13Speaker 25: They think they're fine because they're not up for reelection
- 1:39:15Speaker 25: right now, but they're up for reelection in less than
- 1:39:18Speaker 25: twenty four months. And we are going to make sure
- 1:39:20Speaker 25: that people don't forget names like Shane Massey, the majority
- 1:39:23Speaker 25: leader of the Senate, and Tom Davis and Sean Bennett.
- 1:39:27Speaker 25: Who are the Republicans who killed this We got a
- 1:39:30Speaker 25: hold of accountable.
- 1:39:32Speaker 3: Yes we do. So all you listeners in South Carolina,
- 1:39:35Speaker 3: you got you gotta pay attention to who you're voting for. Well,
- 1:39:40Speaker 3: this story out of Rutland, Massachusetts, I nothing surprises me anymore. Anyway.
- 1:39:47Speaker 3: The town officials there have canceled the Fourth of July celebration.
- 1:39:53Speaker 3: And this is sort of a big Fourth of July celebration.
- 1:39:55Speaker 3: It's the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary and the town
- 1:40:01Speaker 3: council has canceled the celebration now. Town leaders said they
- 1:40:05Speaker 3: took it enough donations to pay for the entire week
- 1:40:08Speaker 3: long celebration, and they said that included paying for police officers,
- 1:40:15Speaker 3: for security, and firefighters in case, you know, the fireworks
- 1:40:18Speaker 3: says something on fire, so they had everything covered by donations.
- 1:40:23Speaker 3: The town actually mentions this in a public statement they posted, however,
- 1:40:28Speaker 3: they will not be refunding any of the donations. Some
- 1:40:33Speaker 3: of the businesses in town donated up to two thousand
- 1:40:36Speaker 3: dollars to fund the Fourth of July celebration, and the
- 1:40:39Speaker 3: town says, too bad, They're keeping the money. They've also
- 1:40:43Speaker 3: canceled all main events surrounding the Fourth of July celebration.
- 1:40:50Speaker 3: Yet another example of what it's like to live in
- 1:40:53Speaker 3: the People's Republic of Massachusetts. By goodness gracious, nine six
- 1:41:00Speaker 3: zero five nine two six that's nine oh one two
- 1:41:03Speaker 3: six zero five nine two sins. I want to share
- 1:41:07Speaker 3: our conversation we had yesterday with our good friend Mary
- 1:41:10Speaker 3: Walter and Kay smith Hill there makes it up on newsmags.
- 1:41:15Speaker 3: Take a listen. In spite of the drama, The Spencer
- 1:41:19Speaker 3: Pratt cookies are apparently selling like hotcakes. The baker says
- 1:41:23Speaker 3: she sold seven hundred cookies and just one day.
- 1:41:27Speaker 2: What do you make of that?
- 1:41:28Speaker 17: So I love, love, love the Spencer Pratt. He has
- 1:41:32Speaker 17: apparently no campaign manager, he's clearly not a politician, and
- 1:41:35Speaker 17: he is probably running one of the best campaigns we've
- 1:41:38Speaker 17: seen in a really long time. And because it's grassroots,
- 1:41:41Speaker 17: it's the people who are helping him. It's just regular
- 1:41:44Speaker 17: people who are doing his videos for him, and they're brilliant.
- 1:41:47Speaker 17: So you know, it's this woman who said, I'm going
- 1:41:50Speaker 17: to make these cookies because I lost my home too,
- 1:41:52Speaker 17: and so I support the guy who thinks I should
- 1:41:55Speaker 17: have been able to build my home back. I actually
- 1:41:57Speaker 17: tried to order the cookies and apparently you have to
- 1:42:00Speaker 17: buy them in the store. So I love Spencer Prap,
- 1:42:04Speaker 17: but I can't vote for him, although they do not
- 1:42:07Speaker 17: ask for ID, so I don't know. I guess I
- 1:42:09Speaker 17: could fly out there, grabs some cookies and vote for him,
- 1:42:12Speaker 17: but I think that's probably illegal, so I wouldn't do that.
- 1:42:15Speaker 2: But good for her.
- 1:42:16Speaker 17: You know, she's making the money back too from the
- 1:42:18Speaker 17: lost business. This is a win win all the way. Around,
- 1:42:21Speaker 17: and I love that Jimmy Kimmel's sister is the one
- 1:42:23Speaker 17: who tipped the domino to give them the publicity.
- 1:42:26Speaker 2: It's so sick.
- 1:42:26Speaker 3: Yeah, so kay on that note, are we really surprised
- 1:42:30Speaker 3: here that it was Jimmy Kimmel's sister in law that
- 1:42:33Speaker 3: got triggered?
- 1:42:33Speaker 2: I mean, what is wrong with this family?
- 1:42:36Speaker 11: It's such a shame whenever we have to deal with
- 1:42:39Speaker 11: Jimmy Kimmel, because the more scared that he's gonna post
- 1:42:41Speaker 11: the clip on his show and then I'm going to
- 1:42:43Speaker 11: get a deluge of death threats, which has happened on
- 1:42:47Speaker 11: at least one occasion, probably others.
- 1:42:49Speaker 26: I don't know.
- 1:42:50Speaker 11: I never really do too much dating se where I'm
- 1:42:52Speaker 11: getting death threats from. But yeah, that's the people who
- 1:42:54Speaker 11: support Jimmy Kimmel. Those the people who support his show.
- 1:42:58Speaker 11: So I can only presume the other the like Adam Carolla,
- 1:43:01Speaker 11: that's probably who Jimmy Kimmel surrounds himself with. I know
- 1:43:05Speaker 11: that there's been another story about Jimmy Kimmel's sister in
- 1:43:09Speaker 11: law at one point, and I remember it just being
- 1:43:13Speaker 11: even just like at the surface level, something that made me.
- 1:43:16Speaker 26: Go, h, shut up, like you are so on the
- 1:43:19Speaker 26: wrong side of this, because guys, I lived in la
- 1:43:23Speaker 26: I lived actually round the corner from where Jimmy Kimmel
- 1:43:26Speaker 26: used to or maybe he still does record his show.
- 1:43:30Speaker 11: Used to have to step over bodies to walk down
- 1:43:33Speaker 11: to walk down not just the street outside of his studio,
- 1:43:37Speaker 11: but pretty much every single street within, you know, like
- 1:43:40Speaker 11: a thirty block radius.
- 1:43:41Speaker 26: So I think that, like, like.
- 1:43:44Speaker 11: What Mary said, I think it's absolutely glorious that it
- 1:43:48Speaker 11: was a Kimmel or Kimmel's sister in law or whatever
- 1:43:51Speaker 11: who is now giving huge attention to this baker. I
- 1:43:54Speaker 11: think it is very well deserved. I think that she
- 1:43:56Speaker 11: is on the right side. Not Jimmy Kimmel's sister in law,
- 1:43:59Speaker 11: but the baker is on the right side of history.
- 1:44:01Speaker 11: And I think if Los Angeles doesn't vote for Spencer Pratt,
- 1:44:04Speaker 11: then the whole place can just go to Helen a handbasket,
- 1:44:07Speaker 11: because how stupid do you have to be to not
- 1:44:09Speaker 11: vote for him at this point when you live in
- 1:44:12Speaker 11: that glorified slum.
- 1:44:13Speaker 3: All right, Mary, our producers are getting in touch with
- 1:44:16Speaker 3: Joe Moeller. I don't care what assignment he's on for
- 1:44:18Speaker 3: Newsmax right now.
- 1:44:19Speaker 2: In La. We're sending him over to get your cookies.
- 1:44:22Speaker 3: Meanwhile, you've got to talk about this story involving Taylor Lorenz.
- 1:44:28Speaker 2: Can we talk about her for a second?
- 1:44:29Speaker 3: Former Washington Poe journalists, And she's complaining about New York
- 1:44:33Speaker 3: City bagel shops not having cashew based vegan cream cheese,
- 1:44:37Speaker 3: and now she's calling out Mayor zorn Vandami to fix
- 1:44:41Speaker 3: the problem. First of all, Mary, I'm wondering what exactly
- 1:44:46Speaker 3: is vegan cream cheese? And is that really the hill
- 1:44:48Speaker 3: to die on here?
- 1:44:50Speaker 17: Okay, so there's a lot of on haack here. I'm
- 1:44:52Speaker 17: glad I don't know what vegan cream cheese is because
- 1:44:55Speaker 17: I don't. I don't know what do you what do
- 1:44:57Speaker 17: you make it with? If you don't use me milk?
- 1:45:00Speaker 15: I don't.
- 1:45:01Speaker 2: I don't know what that is.
- 1:45:03Speaker 17: So and she says, you know the bagels in La suck, well,
- 1:45:06Speaker 17: so are you trying to make them worse? I mean,
- 1:45:08Speaker 17: they're they're they're they're inedible. Now, I will not eat
- 1:45:11Speaker 17: a bagel outside of this geographic area because I am
- 1:45:15Speaker 17: a bagel snob. So that's just the way it goes.
- 1:45:17Speaker 17: And I've seen people put a lot of stuff on bagels,
- 1:45:19Speaker 17: but they're still great bagels, and so that's okay with me.
- 1:45:23Speaker 17: But there are just some things that should not be
- 1:45:26Speaker 17: And did you ever notice you never see meat eaters
- 1:45:28Speaker 17: trying to make meat taste like vegetables.
- 1:45:31Speaker 2: Like I've never seen.
- 1:45:31Speaker 17: Anyone said, take that steak and make it taste like kale.
- 1:45:34Speaker 2: For me, it doesn't happen.
- 1:45:37Speaker 17: But they are always trying to make like they are
- 1:45:40Speaker 17: vegetable products or whatever it is. She eats into things
- 1:45:44Speaker 17: that they're not. So maybe you should just change your diet.
- 1:45:47Speaker 17: And by the way, Taylor Lorenz, why why why why
- 1:45:51Speaker 17: is it?
- 1:45:52Speaker 2: I thought she went away? Okay, So look here's it.
- 1:45:55Speaker 3: I accidentally shmeared my bagel with that vegan cream cheese
- 1:45:59Speaker 3: once and it just slid right off. The bagel would
- 1:46:02Speaker 3: not accept the vegan schmiar. So that being said, I'm
- 1:46:07Speaker 3: just I'm going to predict here. My money is actually
- 1:46:10Speaker 3: on Mandami actually intervening in the cream cheese crisis.
- 1:46:15Speaker 2: What say you?
- 1:46:17Speaker 5: Oh?
- 1:46:17Speaker 2: I can absolutely.
- 1:46:18Speaker 11: I mean that's so on brand for him, right, Like,
- 1:46:20Speaker 11: this is a guy who's apparently now I just saw
- 1:46:23Speaker 11: before we went before we went live today, a guy
- 1:46:26Speaker 11: who is now going to try and take property off
- 1:46:30Speaker 11: of landlords that he thinks aren't doing their job well
- 1:46:33Speaker 11: enough in New York City. So this complete little sociopath,
- 1:46:38Speaker 11: communist scumbag who is going to dismantle one of the
- 1:46:42Speaker 11: greatest cities on earth if he's allowed to have his way,
- 1:46:46Speaker 11: the fact that he the fact that he thinks he
- 1:46:48Speaker 11: can do that. I'm sure he absolutely thinks that he
- 1:46:51Speaker 11: can walk into absolutely any business in New York City
- 1:46:55Speaker 11: and say, hey, guys, if you don't have cream cheese
- 1:46:58Speaker 11: that isn't cheese that doesn't have any cream in it,
- 1:47:00Speaker 11: that tastes like little bits of cardboard and dust. If
- 1:47:04Speaker 11: you don't have that, you're all going to prison. So
- 1:47:07Speaker 11: I think that is so on brand for him. I
- 1:47:09Speaker 11: totally think that he can intervene. I think that it
- 1:47:12Speaker 11: might actually be one of the few things that hopefully
- 1:47:15Speaker 11: he actually achieves, so then he can have that tiny
- 1:47:18Speaker 11: little win and he doesn't go after anything else. He's
- 1:47:20Speaker 11: a small man with a lot of big ideas that
- 1:47:23Speaker 11: are going to hurt a lot of people if you
- 1:47:24Speaker 11: can get him to focus on the cream cheese of
- 1:47:26Speaker 11: it all, Like Taylor Lorenz clearly still doing hard hitting
- 1:47:30Speaker 11: journalism there. Taylor, if you get them to focus on that,
- 1:47:34Speaker 11: then maybe they can leave the rest of us alone
- 1:47:36Speaker 11: to carry on with our lives and everything else in between.
- 1:47:39Speaker 2: Just an idea, well said, well said.
- 1:47:42Speaker 3: Okay, by the way, Mary, New York Giants quarterback Jackson
- 1:47:46Speaker 3: Dart now facing this one overwhelms me. Major backlash because
- 1:47:50Speaker 3: he introduced President Trump at a New York rally.
- 1:47:53Speaker 2: Let's take a listen.
- 1:47:55Speaker 27: What an honor, what a privilege it is to be here,
- 1:47:58Speaker 27: and without further I'm grateful, I'm honored. I'm pleasure to
- 1:48:04Speaker 27: introduce the forty fifth and forty seven President of the
- 1:48:08Speaker 27: United States America, President Donald J.
- 1:48:10Speaker 9: Chump.
- 1:48:12Speaker 2: All right, well there you go.
- 1:48:13Speaker 3: Now Mary, A former NFL player Emmanuel Acho is weighing,
- 1:48:18Speaker 3: and let's take a listen.
- 1:48:20Speaker 19: I don't personally have an issue with him supporting Donald Trump.
- 1:48:24Speaker 2: He's a human.
- 1:48:24Speaker 12: He can support who he wants to support.
- 1:48:27Speaker 2: Was it pretty.
- 1:48:27Speaker 19: Stupid given the reaction it will cause to his other
- 1:48:33Speaker 19: brothers that are humans and have human emotions. Absolutely, I
- 1:48:36Speaker 19: don't think it was wise. I don't got an issue
- 1:48:38Speaker 19: with it. Abdell Carter, I don't have an issue with
- 1:48:41Speaker 19: it either. Was it also unintelligent?
- 1:48:44Speaker 12: Yes?
- 1:48:44Speaker 19: Because now you caused a distraction, and the organization ain't
- 1:48:47Speaker 19: won no games.
- 1:48:48Speaker 12: In a long time.
- 1:48:49Speaker 2: All right, Mary, what do you make of that? I'm sorry?
- 1:48:52Speaker 17: Emmanuel who, Yeah, I don't care what his opinion is.
- 1:48:56Speaker 17: I don't care what he has to say. I wouldn't
- 1:49:00Speaker 17: know him if I fell over, So I don't care
- 1:49:02Speaker 17: what his opinion is. What's interesting is that it's not
- 1:49:05Speaker 17: about him. Oh, I don't care. You could say what
- 1:49:06Speaker 17: you want to say, but it's dangerous. What about the
- 1:49:08Speaker 17: other humans around him who might be hurt by his choice?
- 1:49:13Speaker 17: This is what happens. So it's so much fun to
- 1:49:16Speaker 17: sit on the sidelines and just watch these people who
- 1:49:19Speaker 17: claim Donald Trump's a fascist turn around and behave like fascists.
- 1:49:24Speaker 17: So he's okay, They're all okay with You can say
- 1:49:27Speaker 17: whatever you want to say, as long as you're saying
- 1:49:29Speaker 17: what I want you to say. As soon as you
- 1:49:30Speaker 17: express an opinion that I don't like, I'm going to
- 1:49:32Speaker 17: a fascist all over you and I'm going to censor you.
- 1:49:36Speaker 17: So it is kind of interesting and fun for those
- 1:49:39Speaker 17: of us who are conscious and think to watch this
- 1:49:43Speaker 17: unfold and watch them be clown themselves all over the place.
- 1:49:46Speaker 17: So and I'm glad Jackson Dart or whatever.
- 1:49:49Speaker 2: Jackson Jackson.
- 1:49:50Speaker 24: What's his name?
- 1:49:50Speaker 17: His shirts not in sports? Can you tell his shirts
- 1:49:55Speaker 17: are selling out? Which I love?
- 1:50:05Speaker 3: All right, Welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Stearns
- 1:50:08Speaker 3: Radio Show. A very interesting new ad has just surfaced
- 1:50:13Speaker 3: in Texas and they're targeting James Tallerico. Take a listen
- 1:50:18Speaker 3: to cut twenty two plays. This is Texas. This is not.
- 1:50:23Speaker 18: There are many more than two biological Texas.
- 1:50:27Speaker 2: In fact, there are six. This is Texas. This is not.
- 1:50:31Speaker 18: The American flag is such a complicated symbol for most
- 1:50:34Speaker 18: of us.
- 1:50:34Speaker 3: This is Texas. This is not.
- 1:50:37Speaker 2: They're gonna call me a radical leftist. This is Texas.
- 1:50:41Speaker 17: This is not something that you love.
- 1:50:43Speaker 15: It's not family or friends.
- 1:50:48Speaker 2: I love. And I'm just saying this because it's on
- 1:50:50Speaker 2: my mind. The trans children. This is Texas. This is not.
- 1:50:57Speaker 2: Our southern border should be like our front course. There
- 1:51:00Speaker 2: should be a giant welcome matt out front. This is Texas.
- 1:51:05Speaker 2: This is not.
- 1:51:05Speaker 18: It is now existential that we try to reduce our
- 1:51:09Speaker 18: meat consumption. I am proud to say that our campaign
- 1:51:12Speaker 18: had efficiently become a non meat campaign.
- 1:51:16Speaker 2: This is Texas.
- 1:51:18Speaker 10: This is not.
- 1:51:21Speaker 3: Look, I think those ads are incredibly, incredibly effective, and
- 1:51:26Speaker 3: this is why it's going to take a lot of money.
- 1:51:28Speaker 3: And that's the big problem here is that a lot
- 1:51:30Speaker 3: of the money that was squandered by John Cornyn could
- 1:51:34Speaker 3: have actually gone to Ken Paxton. And just to remind
- 1:51:38Speaker 3: you here about Kim Paxton being the spoiler, that's not
- 1:51:41Speaker 3: true at all. Kim Paxton actually said he would have
- 1:51:44Speaker 3: pulled out of the race if John Cornyn had simply
- 1:51:48Speaker 3: agreed to nuke the filibusters so we could get the
- 1:51:51Speaker 3: Save America Act through the US Senate. And John Cornyn
- 1:51:55Speaker 3: did not did not do that. So again, I think
- 1:51:59Speaker 3: the there is a great opportunity here for the Republicans
- 1:52:03Speaker 3: to pick up a big, big win in Texas. I
- 1:52:08Speaker 3: do not believe any of the early polling. I think
- 1:52:10Speaker 3: the average textan they're going to take a look at
- 1:52:12Speaker 3: Tallarico and by the time election day rolls around, they're
- 1:52:15Speaker 3: going to know every single thing they need to know
- 1:52:17Speaker 3: about this guy. His radical views about sex and gender,
- 1:52:22Speaker 3: his radical views about God, his radical left wing theology.
- 1:52:27Speaker 3: It's all going to be out there, folks, and that's
- 1:52:30Speaker 3: something that we're all going to have to pay attention
- 1:52:33Speaker 3: to so tonight, don't forget five o'clock Eastern the Todd
- 1:52:36Speaker 3: Starns Show on Newsmax. We've got a great lineup for you.
- 1:52:40Speaker 3: Michael Wattley, who's the Republican nominee to be the next
- 1:52:42Speaker 3: Senator in North Carolina, is going to be joining us. Also,
- 1:52:47Speaker 3: head over to Todd Stearns dot com and be sure
