- 0:10Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 0:14Speaker 1: common sense conservative commentary from Todd stars Amaritan.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Well, Happy Friday to you, America. This is the Todd
- 0:30Speaker 2: Sterns Radio Show. What an honor to have you with
- 0:32Speaker 2: us today. And we have got a really a jam
- 0:35Speaker 2: pack show. President Trump, by the way, in the Situation
- 0:39Speaker 2: Room at the White House, and we're going to keep
- 0:41Speaker 2: you updated on all of that and whether or not
- 0:44Speaker 2: we're going to be blowing something up or invading a country.
- 0:48Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting yesterday, yesterday the President announced her
- 0:52Speaker 2: that came out late last night. They're looking at perhaps
- 0:56Speaker 2: another sixty day ceasefire in the Iranian war, which, again,
- 1:02Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, as I've been warning you, and I
- 1:04Speaker 2: know a lot of you folk have been telling me
- 1:07Speaker 2: that I'm just a negative Nancy, I'm a worry warrant,
- 1:13Speaker 2: and that the President has all of this under control
- 1:16Speaker 2: and it was only going to be a five week war. Well,
- 1:18Speaker 2: here we are about to enter June. If in fact
- 1:22Speaker 2: there is going to be a sixty day moratorium, that'll
- 1:26Speaker 2: put us into August. And guess what happens, folks, Guess
- 1:29Speaker 2: what happens in November. We have a big election, so
- 1:34Speaker 2: we'll see how all this plays out. Iran is they've
- 1:38Speaker 2: been shooting missiles at us, they've been trying to inflict
- 1:42Speaker 2: damage and harm on our troops. And again, the president
- 1:46Speaker 2: has information and has access to information that all the
- 1:49Speaker 2: rest of us just simply don't have. So we'll see
- 1:53Speaker 2: how all of this plays out. But I will just
- 1:55Speaker 2: say this, regardless of whether the president and again some
- 1:59Speaker 2: of you say that president doesn't know what he's doing.
- 2:01Speaker 2: Others say he does know what he's doing. I'm in
- 2:03Speaker 2: that camp. But regardless of what camp you are in,
- 2:07Speaker 2: if this war is still raging by November, you just
- 2:11Speaker 2: gotta we're gonna have some challenges. That's all I'm saying.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six,
- 2:18Speaker 2: that's our telephone number. And today, by the way, open
- 2:20Speaker 2: line Friday. If you're a new listener to the program,
- 2:23Speaker 2: this is the one day out of the week you
- 2:24Speaker 2: can call in. You can talk about whatever issue you
- 2:28Speaker 2: want to talk about. We will let you do that today,
- 2:31Speaker 2: Open Line Friday. It's always a fun time and look
- 2:34Speaker 2: forward to hearing from all of our great, great listeners.
- 2:38Speaker 2: So look, there's been a bit of a controversy involving
- 2:43Speaker 2: the Great American State Fair that is one of the
- 2:46Speaker 2: big America to fifty celebrations, And the plan was to
- 2:51Speaker 2: turn the Mall in Washington into a giant state fair.
- 2:56Speaker 2: You know, we have those a lot of you know,
- 2:58Speaker 2: I think in the Midwest those are like a highfalutin things.
- 3:01Speaker 2: I mean, they have what cows made out of butter,
- 3:05Speaker 2: and people eat everything deep fried from from oreos to
- 3:10Speaker 2: spaghetti or whatever, and so it's like it's big doings.
- 3:14Speaker 2: And so the idea was to replicate that in our
- 3:17Speaker 2: nation's capital. When when I first heard about the idea,
- 3:20Speaker 2: I love the idea. I thought it was a terrific
- 3:22Speaker 2: thing to do. Maybe have the rides and you know,
- 3:27Speaker 2: the ferris wheel and all of the you know, the
- 3:30Speaker 2: all of the stuff that you would see at a
- 3:33Speaker 2: traditional you know state fair. You know, Dylan, back in
- 3:37Speaker 2: the day, we used to do a lot of that here.
- 3:38Speaker 2: We used to have a great state fair here in
- 3:40Speaker 2: Memphis called the mids what is it the Mid South Fair?
- 3:44Speaker 3: That's yeah, that's something like that, and it.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Was held at the fair grounds.
- 3:48Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's pretty fun. A lot of people came out.
- 3:50Speaker 2: A lot of people came out, and then you would
- 3:53Speaker 2: have like cows and livestock, and you know, people would
- 3:56Speaker 2: wrestle pigs, all sorts of fun stuff. Only the stuff, Yeah,
- 4:01Speaker 2: only the finest. So that's what they were trying to emulate.
- 4:04Speaker 2: I don't know about the pig wrestling, but you know,
- 4:06Speaker 2: still there was going to be a lot of fun
- 4:08Speaker 2: stuff down there. And so they had they announced this week,
- 4:11Speaker 2: what is it a Wednesday? They announced the musical lineup
- 4:14Speaker 2: of guests. So they were gonna it's a sixteen day
- 4:17Speaker 2: patriotic bash on the National Mall. And it was basically
- 4:22Speaker 2: supposed to be a nonpartisan celebration. We're celebrating America's birthday.
- 4:27Speaker 2: And so now the argument is, well, was it really
- 4:30Speaker 2: Was it really nonpartisan because President Trump was was creating it. Well, yeah,
- 4:36Speaker 2: he's the President of the United States, we're not. This
- 4:39Speaker 2: is not some sort of a campaign rally. The President
- 4:42Speaker 2: wanted to have a huge celebration. He wanted America to party.
- 4:46Speaker 2: I don't understand what's wrong with that. So anyway, they
- 4:50Speaker 2: invited all of these musical artists and when I first
- 4:53Speaker 2: saw the list, Dylan, I was a little it was
- 4:57Speaker 2: just like, really this is as good as we could get.
- 5:00Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, no offense to the artist. I
- 5:03Speaker 2: mean you had people like Brett Michaels and Martina McBride,
- 5:09Speaker 2: Millie Vanilli. That's I'm like, really, guys, that's as good
- 5:12Speaker 2: as I was. Just surprised by the lack of like
- 5:16Speaker 2: all star talent. I'm gonna go through the list. Dylan,
- 5:19Speaker 2: you're you're a musical expert, and you can tell me
- 5:21Speaker 2: if you know of any of these people. Is that
- 5:23Speaker 2: the Sea is it? Sea and C Music Factory?
- 5:27Speaker 3: No.
- 5:28Speaker 2: They They are known for their global hit Gonna Make
- 5:31Speaker 2: You Sweat.
- 5:33Speaker 3: I can't say I heard it.
- 5:35Speaker 2: All right, Vanilla Ice, Yeah he's still alive. I wow, okay, baby, yeah,
- 5:43Speaker 2: he's uh big.
- 5:44Speaker 3: Probably still do that song that doesn't take a lot
- 5:46Speaker 3: of singing.
- 5:46Speaker 2: Millie Vanilli, which doesn't sing anyway. They just lip scen
- 5:50Speaker 2: Young MC. Do we know him? He was known for
- 5:55Speaker 2: the iconic hit bust a Move in the nineteen Oh,
- 6:00Speaker 2: he's not young anymore. It's I think it's old m C.
- 6:04Speaker 3: Now, definitely not.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Here's from the Yeah, here's from the nineties. Ok, Yeah,
- 6:10Speaker 2: I know him all right, the Commodores old.
- 6:13Speaker 3: Still we're still we're getting old.
- 6:15Speaker 2: This is I'm like so disappointed. Here Marris Day and
- 6:19Speaker 2: the Time, an iconic funk and R and B group
- 6:23Speaker 2: known for electrifying performances like Jungle Love and the Bird. Okay,
- 6:29Speaker 2: oh here we go, flow right up?
- 6:31Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I mean I've heard of these people. I
- 6:36Speaker 4: just feel like a retirement home would be more excited
- 6:38Speaker 4: for them.
- 6:40Speaker 2: Wow. Then you've got Bret Michaels of course from Poison,
- 6:45Speaker 2: who is again Wow? Still alive?
- 6:47Speaker 5: All right?
- 6:48Speaker 2: You just never know what the rock guys, you know
- 6:50Speaker 2: they I mean that's a hard life. I mean they do.
- 6:53Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to do something to get get out there.
- 6:56Speaker 2: Also the US Marine Corps a Drummond Bugle Corps, so
- 6:59Speaker 2: that good, and so a lot of military performances. Honestly,
- 7:03Speaker 2: I think they would have been better off just sticking
- 7:05Speaker 2: to the military stuff, right, But anyway, it's all part
- 7:11Speaker 2: of the Great American Savior. So now all of these
- 7:13Speaker 2: musical groups are backing out, and this is what bothers me.
- 7:18Speaker 2: And we've got the story up at Todd Stearns dot com.
- 7:20Speaker 2: I want you to go there and read read my
- 7:23Speaker 2: story about this, because I'm really a little perturbed. Specifically
- 7:28Speaker 2: by Martina McBride, who I think, aside from Brett Michaels,
- 7:32Speaker 2: may be the most I guess well known of the artist.
- 7:36Speaker 2: I'm just wondering here. First of all, there was an
- 7:39Speaker 2: there's a group, an organization that was putting all of
- 7:41Speaker 2: this together. So this did not come from the White
- 7:43Speaker 2: House I would have had. I mean, and by the way,
- 7:45Speaker 2: we can open this up to our audience because clearly
- 7:49Speaker 2: they're going to need some artists now because everybody's backing out?
- 7:52Speaker 2: Who would you like to recommend as an artist for
- 7:56Speaker 2: the America two fifty State Fair? Who would you like
- 8:00Speaker 2: to see perform? So I've got a story up at
- 8:03Speaker 2: Todd Stearns dot com and talking about Martina McBride and
- 8:09Speaker 2: what's really going on here. So she put out a
- 8:12Speaker 2: statement yesterday and it caused a bit of a story
- 8:14Speaker 2: yesterday evening, and Martina McBride is saying, well, I you know,
- 8:18Speaker 2: this is not what I thought it was going to be. Well,
- 8:20Speaker 2: what did you think it was going to be, ma'am?
- 8:22Speaker 2: I mean, it was pretty clear we want you to
- 8:24Speaker 2: perform at a state fair representing all fifty states on
- 8:28Speaker 2: the mall in Washington, d C. What was not clear
- 8:31Speaker 2: about that. And so she's going off and she's talking
- 8:34Speaker 2: about how well you know this is really a partisan
- 8:37Speaker 2: event or where where is the evidence of that? And again,
- 8:42Speaker 2: if she wants to talk about it, and I know,
- 8:44Speaker 2: I sort of went viral a lot of I think
- 8:46Speaker 2: a lot of the left wing magazines picked up on
- 8:49Speaker 2: what I wrote yesterday on X And my point was,
- 8:54Speaker 2: and I still stand by this point, is that you know,
- 8:57Speaker 2: if she's really all upset about being connected to the
- 9:02Speaker 2: Trump administration, if she's really all that concern about being partisan,
- 9:09Speaker 2: my question is, and by the way, she wanted to
- 9:12Speaker 2: clear the air about all of this. So if she's
- 9:15Speaker 2: clearing the air, how about explaining why you perform Martina
- 9:18Speaker 2: McBride at the White House during the Obama regime? You
- 9:22Speaker 2: were literally performing at a partisan event, ma'am. Or what
- 9:26Speaker 2: about during Bill Clinton's scandalous presidency, ma'am? You were invited
- 9:32Speaker 2: to perform at the White House while Bill Clinton was President.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Trump's not even inviting you to the White House. He's
- 9:39Speaker 2: inviting you to perform at the State Fair. So it's
- 9:44Speaker 2: really unfortunate how this is all going down. But here's
- 9:49Speaker 2: what I think is really going on. First of all.
- 9:51Speaker 2: I truly do believe that these artists are being bullied.
- 9:56Speaker 2: They're being bullied by these woke leftists who are telling me,
- 10:00Speaker 2: if you go and you perform for America's two hundred
- 10:03Speaker 2: and fiftieth Birthday celebration, your career is over. You are done.
- 10:08Speaker 2: That's what I think is really going on. I think
- 10:10Speaker 2: they're getting a lot of pressure, a lot of blowback
- 10:12Speaker 2: from other artists, from their woke fans, and that's one
- 10:18Speaker 2: of the reasons why Martina McBride and Bret Michaels and
- 10:22Speaker 2: all the others are pulling out. That's what I think
- 10:25Speaker 2: is ultimately going on. Is there cowards? And I just
- 10:28Speaker 2: got to tell you, folks, don't We don't have time
- 10:31Speaker 2: for cowardice anymore in America. You have to make a stand.
- 10:35Speaker 2: You have to take a stand. I am so sick
- 10:37Speaker 2: and tired of people that are afraid of the mob,
- 10:41Speaker 2: and I hear it all the time. You know, we
- 10:43Speaker 2: run a I'll give you a great example in Memphis, Tennessee.
- 10:45Speaker 2: We run this little group of Facebook group that's connected
- 10:49Speaker 2: to KWAM news Radio. I can't tell you how many
- 10:52Speaker 2: people want to post anonymous comments on that page. And
- 10:56Speaker 2: the reason why is because they're afraid that someone might
- 11:00Speaker 2: get there, someone might be offended by their comments and
- 11:03Speaker 2: they and someone might say something bad about them. We
- 11:07Speaker 2: don't have time for that stuff anymore. We need men
- 11:10Speaker 2: and women of courage in America. That's what we need.
- 11:15Speaker 2: We don't need cowards. That's the problem with that's the
- 11:18Speaker 2: problem with America. We've got too many cowards in the
- 11:21Speaker 2: conservative movement. Those democrats, those big, fat, bloated women with
- 11:28Speaker 2: the purple hair that are wabbling around like weebles on
- 11:32Speaker 2: the sidewalks holding up the no kings. At least they've
- 11:35Speaker 2: got courage. They're morods, but they've got courage. What about
- 11:40Speaker 2: all those old people, the old wrinkly folks standing out
- 11:43Speaker 2: there holding up the signs. They got courage. But on
- 11:48Speaker 2: the conservative side, oh well, I'm just really afraid that
- 11:53Speaker 2: someone might be offended by what I say. You look
- 11:57Speaker 2: at the Look at the churches out there, Look at
- 11:59Speaker 2: the liberal churches. They're bold, they're you know, on the
- 12:04Speaker 2: left side of the table. They're courageous, they don't care.
- 12:08Speaker 2: They got those big old lesbian man preachers and they're
- 12:13Speaker 2: up there and they're talking about, you know, waving the
- 12:15Speaker 2: rainbow flag in the pulpit. They've got courage. They got
- 12:18Speaker 2: more courage than a lot of those so called evangelical
- 12:21Speaker 2: churches out there. Preachers won't talk about the big issues
- 12:26Speaker 2: of the day. Well we might, we might lose some
- 12:30Speaker 2: of our donations and people might not visit our church
- 12:34Speaker 2: coffee house anymore, or they're a caffee. We keep me
- 12:37Speaker 2: talking about those controversial themes. I want to know why
- 12:42Speaker 2: the countries going to hell in a handbasket, ladies and
- 12:45Speaker 2: gentlemen's because of cowardly conservatives getting off that soapbox. I
- 12:53Speaker 2: wasn't planning on talking about that today, but it bothers me.
- 12:57Speaker 2: You know, you OUGHTI s Dylan, you can attest to
- 12:59Speaker 2: this this morning. With the hate mail and the hate
- 13:02Speaker 2: messages and the death threats that I get every single day,
- 13:08Speaker 2: does that stop me from getting up here in front
- 13:11Speaker 2: of this big, beautiful, huge microphone and speaking to all
- 13:14Speaker 2: of you and hanging out with all of you. No,
- 13:16Speaker 2: of course, not, Dylan. We got some hate mail this morning,
- 13:19Speaker 2: four o'clock in the morning. Some Yahoo out of Albuquerque
- 13:22Speaker 2: of Mexico sent us a message.
- 13:24Speaker 3: Yeah, he was mad at that early in the morning.
- 13:26Speaker 2: We can't talk it we can't even we were gonna
- 13:28Speaker 2: play it, but there's just it would be a sixty
- 13:30Speaker 2: second bleep.
- 13:33Speaker 3: It's a lovely message, It is a lot.
- 13:35Speaker 2: Yeah, it can marry some very colorful metaphors, very colorful.
- 13:39Speaker 2: But all that to say that Tina McBride is going
- 13:42Speaker 2: to get out there well and she's going to tell you, oh, no, no,
- 13:45Speaker 2: I'm really a conservative. No you're not, maam, you're a coward.
- 13:48Speaker 2: And I don't mean any disrespect to her at all.
- 13:51Speaker 2: I don't mean any disrespect to anybody. But I'm going
- 13:54Speaker 2: to start calling out cowardice when I see it, because
- 13:57Speaker 2: that's the problem with the country right now. Conservatives they're afraid,
- 14:01Speaker 2: they're timid. Oh I just don't know if I can.
- 14:05Speaker 2: I don't know if I can put that that Trump
- 14:07Speaker 2: bumper sticker on the back of my car. I don't
- 14:09Speaker 2: think I can do that. Someone might butt.
- 14:13Speaker 6: Me, they might buck me.
- 14:15Speaker 3: I don't want to be bumped.
- 14:19Speaker 2: She's a loop people. So anyway, back to this Martina
- 14:23Speaker 2: McBride thing, here's what she said. Unfortunately, what was presented
- 14:26Speaker 2: to us as the celebration of our country has evolved
- 14:28Speaker 2: into something much more divisive than what I agree to
- 14:32Speaker 2: be a part of what exactly was that what exactly
- 14:34Speaker 2: was the visive concerns have also been raised regarding the
- 14:39Speaker 2: safety of my fans, band, crew, family, and myself. So
- 14:42Speaker 2: that's what is the threats. It's the threats. You know what,
- 14:44Speaker 2: Donald J.
- 14:45Speaker 7: Trump.
- 14:46Speaker 2: They've tried to kill that guy, what four or five
- 14:48Speaker 2: times now? Donald J. Trump took a bullet to the
- 14:51Speaker 2: ear for this nation. You don't see him hiding out
- 14:55Speaker 2: in the White House, do you, No, of course not.
- 14:59Speaker 2: So now all these bands are dropping out, and it's
- 15:02Speaker 2: really unfortunate. We need more. Toby Keith's in the entertainment industry.
- 15:06Speaker 2: You know, Toby Keith, conservative guy. But you know what,
- 15:09Speaker 2: he performed for Obama, he performed for Trump. He put
- 15:12Speaker 2: politics aside and honored the office of the presidency. By
- 15:15Speaker 2: the way, that's what this is really all about. You're
- 15:17Speaker 2: honoring the office. Your president calls and asks you to
- 15:20Speaker 2: do something, you do it. Kid Rock did the same thing,
- 15:24Speaker 2: So did Charlie Daniels, so did the Beach Boys. But
- 15:29Speaker 2: I got to tell you something here, folks, I wish
- 15:31Speaker 2: I could tell you I'm surprised by Martina McBride's cowardice.
- 15:35Speaker 2: I'm not when it comes to all of these modern
- 15:37Speaker 2: day entertainers, look courage, it's hard to come by. But
- 15:42Speaker 2: what I'm more upset about when it comes to Martina
- 15:44Speaker 2: McBride is I am troubled by her lack of patriotism.
- 15:48Speaker 2: You see, she had a chance to be a part
- 15:50Speaker 2: of what was and the way it was put together.
- 15:53Speaker 2: It was a diverse soundtrack of artists celebrating our nation's
- 15:58Speaker 2: big birthday. But instead she chose to be a partisan
- 16:03Speaker 2: rather than a patriot. And that's what I've got a
- 16:06Speaker 2: problem with. So now we've got to come up with
- 16:08Speaker 2: a list of new artists, and we're going to open
- 16:10Speaker 2: up the phone lines. Who would you like to see
- 16:12Speaker 2: performing on the Washington Mall. Our telephone number nine oh
- 16:15Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six. That's nine
- 16:18Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five, nine two six. This
- 16:21Speaker 2: is the toddstarn Show.
- 16:22Speaker 8: Hey, guys, quick, heads up. This is actually a big one.
- 16:25Speaker 8: We're saying goodbye to something that's helped thousands of families
- 16:28Speaker 8: over the years. The Patriot Power Generator, one of the
- 16:31Speaker 8: best selling solar generators of twenty twenty five, is officially
- 16:35Speaker 8: being retired. And the reason they've just released something even better.
- 16:39Speaker 8: It's called the Patriot Power Generator two two zero zero
- 16:43Speaker 8: X and this is their most powerful model yet. It's
- 16:47Speaker 8: built for real life situations, storms, outages, emergencies when you
- 16:52Speaker 8: need power the most. To launch it, they're doing something
- 16:54Speaker 8: pretty crazy right now. You can get five hundred dollars
- 16:57Speaker 8: off the generator. Plus they're including two free solar panels,
- 17:01Speaker 8: so you can double your charging power right out of
- 17:04Speaker 8: the box. They're also throwing in a heavy duty roll
- 17:07Speaker 8: in go kart, an extended three year warranty, and if
- 17:10Speaker 8: you're a senior or a veteran, you can save an
- 17:12Speaker 8: additional two hundred dollars. And here's the part that really
- 17:16Speaker 8: stands out, because they offer a payment plan. You can
- 17:19Speaker 8: get started today for just two hundred and ninety nine
- 17:22Speaker 8: dollars and its ships as soon as tomorrow. But this
- 17:26Speaker 8: is a limited launch offer. It's first come, first served,
- 17:29Speaker 8: and these kinds of deals don't stick around, especially with
- 17:32Speaker 8: how unpredictable power outages have been lately. So if you've
- 17:36Speaker 8: ever thought about having backup power for your home, now's
- 17:39Speaker 8: the time to do it. Stay safe, stay prepared, and
- 17:42Speaker 8: don't wait until the lights go out. Go to Starnsprepper
- 17:45Speaker 8: dot com right now to take advantage of this limited
- 17:48Speaker 8: time offer.
- 17:55Speaker 2: All right, let's get right to the phones on this
- 17:57Speaker 2: open line Friday nine oh one two six years or
- 18:00Speaker 2: five nine two Sex. Do you have a suggestion for
- 18:03Speaker 2: an artist you'd like to see performing for the Great
- 18:06Speaker 2: America two fifty celebration. Let's go to Bill high Point,
- 18:09Speaker 2: North Carolina, listening to us on WSJS. Bill, what's your suggestion,
- 18:16Speaker 2: Bill Tudd?
- 18:17Speaker 9: What I suggest is we don't worry about any of
- 18:19Speaker 9: these other artists. They we get together and get the
- 18:22Speaker 9: military bands each bridge and we have a battle of
- 18:26Speaker 9: the bands and they perform and at the same time
- 18:31Speaker 9: have big screens with the words own it. Let the
- 18:33Speaker 9: people in attendance be part of it by singing, and
- 18:37Speaker 9: you go through and let them just battle it out
- 18:39Speaker 9: with music. And then at the end of the day
- 18:41Speaker 9: we call on mister Lee Greenwood.
- 18:43Speaker 2: Can call it a day around to be an American Baby,
- 18:47Speaker 2: You got it. I love this idea, you know, Bill,
- 18:50Speaker 2: It's interesting back in the day, like, for example, the
- 18:54Speaker 2: very first Super Bowl, the halftime entertainment, there were marching bands.
- 18:58Speaker 2: I love it. I love the good bands.
- 19:02Speaker 9: Right. Well, see, I have a nephew that he was
- 19:05Speaker 9: in the military, and he's with the band, and he
- 19:07Speaker 9: of course traveled over the United States and matter of fact,
- 19:10Speaker 9: he's played in a couple of not Super Bowl, but
- 19:14Speaker 9: NFL events with his group that flew in. So I
- 19:18Speaker 9: just felt that way. Nobody gets your feelings hurt.
- 19:21Speaker 10: Bill.
- 19:22Speaker 2: I love the idea. Bill, Well done, sir, and uh,
- 19:26Speaker 2: it's it's we're gonna put this down on the list.
- 19:28Speaker 2: I know a lot of military bands are playing, you know,
- 19:31Speaker 2: and we'll talk more about this right after this break here.
- 19:33Speaker 2: But you know, the military, they don't just have bands.
- 19:36Speaker 2: They have like bluegrass bands, they have rock bands, jazz bands.
- 19:40Speaker 2: It's uh, they've got a lot of great musical talent
- 19:43Speaker 2: in the military. All right, ladies and gentlemen, who do

- 21:08Speaker 2: like a very devout Southern Baptist who did not drink,

- 21:14Speaker 2: Jimmy Carter liked a little liked the little bourbon every
- 21:17Speaker 2: now and again, and there are there's a fascinating documentary
- 21:21Speaker 2: about how he just you know, brought these guys like

- 25:31Speaker 12: All right.
- 25:32Speaker 10: You call up John Rich and he knows everybody in

- 25:56Speaker 13: That's right.

- 26:06Speaker 10: their whistle every once in a while.
- 26:08Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with that, you know, Tom. It's interesting.
- 26:12Speaker 2: John is a regular on the show. We haven't had
- 26:14Speaker 2: him on in a while. We got to get John
- 26:16Speaker 2: back on the program, and you're right, he and I
- 26:20Speaker 2: was honestly surprised that John was not like the headliner
- 26:25Speaker 2: of that of that celebration, because he's I mean, I
- 26:28Speaker 2: can't think of anybody more patriotic than John Rich Lee Greenwood.
- 26:33Speaker 10: Well, I think exactly what you said. Probably six seven
- 26:36Speaker 10: minutes ago. They were trying to make it a diverse thing,
- 26:40Speaker 10: and somebody, some little underling, was put in charge of
- 26:44Speaker 10: this and said, Okay, go out there, and you know,
- 26:47Speaker 10: find me three of this and six of that and
- 26:50Speaker 10: twelve of this, you know, because I got to believe
- 26:52Speaker 10: they're going to have ten stages going all at once,
- 26:55Speaker 10: you know. And but yeah, John rich Big and Rich
- 27:01Speaker 10: the what do they call it, the Mafia, the the
- 27:06Speaker 10: what is his record Jumpy the music Mafia or something
- 27:11Speaker 10: like that.
- 27:12Speaker 2: Dylan, do you know that you're our music guy? All right,
- 27:15Speaker 2: we're working on it. We're working on it, Tom. But
- 27:17Speaker 2: I like this, Tom. It's a it's a great idea.
- 27:21Speaker 10: Yeah, and it's it'd be a fun time. But I
- 27:25Speaker 10: must stay right here where I can have all of
- 27:27Speaker 10: my pleasures and watching on the TV because I don't
- 27:32Speaker 10: fly no more.
- 27:34Speaker 2: I love it, Tom, I'm with you. I'm getting to
- 27:37Speaker 2: that point where I would much rather just watch it
- 27:39Speaker 2: on my big flat screen TV.
- 27:41Speaker 13: Tom.
- 27:41Speaker 2: God bless you and thank you for listening to us
- 27:43Speaker 2: down there in Houston. We love our friends at Patriot
- 27:45Speaker 2: Talk nine twenty. Let's go to Gerald in Georgia. W
- 27:51Speaker 2: d U N Hi. Gerald, What you got for us?
- 27:54Speaker 12: Hey Todd? First of all, you are living proof to
- 27:57Speaker 12: prayer work.
- 27:59Speaker 2: Yeah, boy, amen to that, my friend, Amen to that.
- 28:03Speaker 12: Okay. Who's better to perform for America Celebration than the
- 28:07Speaker 12: band America?
- 28:11Speaker 2: Well, okay, tell me about this band. I'm not familiar
- 28:14Speaker 2: with the band America.
- 28:15Speaker 12: You never heard the Solovan Suia Highway?
- 28:18Speaker 2: Oh yes, yes, yes, Oh I didn't realize. Okay.
- 28:22Speaker 12: I mean they've been around for decades and they're still
- 28:24Speaker 12: putting out good music.
- 28:25Speaker 2: They have. But you know, I look, I love all
- 28:28Speaker 2: the old old school guys and old school bands. I'd
- 28:31Speaker 2: like to know if there are any like younger, you know,
- 28:34Speaker 2: people in their twenties, thirties, artists you know that actually
- 28:37Speaker 2: love America out there and are doing some good music.
- 28:40Speaker 2: Absolutely all right, Gerald, We've got the band down America
- 28:46Speaker 2: and are we sure to appreciate you listening to us
- 28:48Speaker 2: and especially listening to w gun. Let's go real quick
- 28:52Speaker 2: here to Johnny in North Carolina ws I c all right, Johnny,
- 28:59Speaker 2: what's your band and what's your musician?
- 29:02Speaker 10: God?
- 29:02Speaker 15: Happy Friday to you, sir.
- 29:03Speaker 2: Well, happy Friday to you as well.
- 29:06Speaker 15: Yeah, my suggestion would be Travis Tritt. He's a master songwriter.
- 29:12Speaker 15: He's got an amazing catalog of songs, and I believe
- 29:16Speaker 15: that if he starts getting threats like have caused the
- 29:20Speaker 15: others to be such cowards, I believe he will respond
- 29:24Speaker 15: with something to the effect of, here's a quarter call
- 29:26Speaker 15: someone who.
- 29:27Speaker 2: Can I love. I love Travis Tritt. He's a he
- 29:31Speaker 2: is a great one. You cannot go wrong with country
- 29:33Speaker 2: music artists. You just can't. Well, I say that and
- 29:36Speaker 2: along comes Martina McBride, But yeah, I love Travis Tripp.
- 29:41Speaker 15: That was a real disappointment, very very disappointed in her.
- 29:44Speaker 2: Yeah, it's and it's it was unnecessary. And here's the thing.
- 29:48Speaker 2: You just got to stand up to these bullies. You've
- 29:50Speaker 2: got to and just think about this, Johnny. Has there
- 29:53Speaker 2: ever been a time where conservatives have attacked an artist
- 29:58Speaker 2: and boycotted an artist because you know, they were invited
- 30:00Speaker 2: to the White House. I I don't remember anybody.
- 30:05Speaker 15: There's there's a thing you mentioned it earlier. It's called
- 30:08Speaker 15: respecting the office, even if you don't have much respect
- 30:11Speaker 15: for the person occupying it right now. And you know, Johnny,
- 30:15Speaker 15: they're just being scared away and that does nothing except
- 30:18Speaker 15: encourage the other side.
- 30:20Speaker 2: And Johnny again, that's and that gets me in trouble
- 30:23Speaker 2: with our fellow conservatives back you know, when Obama was
- 30:26Speaker 2: in office and Biden was in office, and and the
- 30:28Speaker 2: point is, it is about respecting the office. You don't
- 30:32Speaker 2: have to support the policies, but you know, if you're
- 30:34Speaker 2: having a national celebration or something and the president asked
- 30:37Speaker 2: you to participate, I think you're obligated to do that.
- 30:41Speaker 2: You know, provided is not violating any you know, of
- 30:43Speaker 2: your religious beliefs. I see no problem with that.
- 30:48Speaker 15: Yeah, it's yeah, you're you're absolutely right, and it's respecting
- 30:53Speaker 15: the office. It's also respecting the country. So exactly disappointed
- 30:57Speaker 15: and hurt. But I think Travis Tripp would be written.
- 31:00Speaker 15: I think he would do a great truck.
- 31:02Speaker 2: Johnny, thank you for calling in and tell our tell
- 31:04Speaker 2: all of our good friends in Statesville that we said, hello, man,
- 31:08Speaker 2: I need to get over there, Dylla, and they got
- 31:10Speaker 2: that ween that. Well, I can't eat the hot dogs anymore,
- 31:12Speaker 2: at least I'm not supposed to.
- 31:13Speaker 3: But they have the turkey turkey shaped hot dogs.
- 31:17Speaker 13: Yeah, I'm not doing that.
- 31:19Speaker 2: I'm not doing that.
- 31:20Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 31:20Speaker 2: I don't like when they shape the meat into something
- 31:23Speaker 2: that it's not meant to be.
- 31:24Speaker 3: Then it feels like it's not real meat exactly.
- 31:28Speaker 2: By the way. You know who i'd love to see,
- 31:30Speaker 2: not only John Rich, definitely Lee Greenwood. I'd love to
- 31:33Speaker 2: see Mac Powell from Third Day. He used to be
- 31:36Speaker 2: the lead singer for Third Day. Man, that guy's got
- 31:39Speaker 2: a voice.
- 31:40Speaker 4: There's a lot of good suggestions flow now. Now, I
- 31:42Speaker 4: mean these would be like a list, you know, I mean,
- 31:45Speaker 4: very patriotic in America, loving like artists.
- 31:48Speaker 2: I don't know how much the White House ended up
- 31:50Speaker 2: having to pay these people to come up with the
- 31:51Speaker 2: list they came up with. I'd have done it for free.
- 31:54Speaker 2: And I guarantee you we could have come with we
- 31:56Speaker 2: could have got some great southern guy you know on
- 31:58Speaker 2: that Sunday have a great big Southern gosp Well, singing.
- 32:00Speaker 4: I was thinking about that. I love that kind of music.
- 32:03Speaker 4: I listened to it just for fun, just driving down
- 32:05Speaker 4: the road.
- 32:06Speaker 3: It's so good.
- 32:06Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm all over that. Let's go to Teresa and
- 32:10Speaker 2: Georgia listening to us on w d U N Hi Teresa,
- 32:15Speaker 2: Hi Todd. How are you, Teresa. I'm doing well. Thank
- 32:18Speaker 2: you for asking. What's on your mind?
- 32:21Speaker 16: I would love to see or watch Eric Church perform.
- 32:26Speaker 16: We just recently went and seen him in Greenville, South Carolina.
- 32:29Speaker 16: And I tell you, I've been to a lot of concerts,
- 32:32Speaker 16: but OMG, that guy can put on a show.
- 32:36Speaker 2: Is that right, Eric Church?
- 32:38Speaker 11: Yes?
- 32:40Speaker 16: Yes, okay, you know he sings Talladega Springsteen. Okay, and
- 32:45Speaker 16: then how about you and his One of the favorite
- 32:47Speaker 16: ones that he just put out is Evangeline. Oh my goodness,
- 32:51Speaker 16: I love that song. It is so touching and wonderful.
- 32:54Speaker 16: And that's who I would suggest.
- 32:58Speaker 2: I love Eric Church. We're we're putting him down, Teresa.
- 33:01Speaker 2: And by the way, I know janis writing in on
- 33:04Speaker 2: our YouTube livestream at George Strait and Anne says, how
- 33:08Speaker 2: about casting Crowns or Chris Tomlin. Look, all great suggestions.
- 33:13Speaker 2: I think the whole point of it is there are
- 33:15Speaker 2: a lot of great artists out there who would love
- 33:17Speaker 2: to do something like this, and you know, why not
- 33:20Speaker 2: use them instead of a lot of these washed up folks.
- 33:25Speaker 2: All right? Amen, All right, Teresa, good to hear from you.
- 33:30Speaker 2: Thank you for calling in. Let's go to Danny listening
- 33:33Speaker 2: to us on KWAM, our flagship station, and beautiful Memphis, Tennessee. Danny,
- 33:39Speaker 2: you know Memphis. I mean, we could just fill up
- 33:41Speaker 2: the entire concert roster without even leaving Beale Street.
- 33:46Speaker 6: I heard that. Hey anyway, good morning, sir. I've got one.
- 33:52Speaker 6: They don't get a lot of notoriety, but Oliver Anthony,
- 33:55Speaker 6: he's sang a song rich men north of Richmond, and
- 33:59Speaker 6: what I understand. And when big music and big business
- 34:02Speaker 6: wanted to hire him own and stuff, they was talking
- 34:05Speaker 6: to him the stuff. He's I want no part of that.
- 34:07Speaker 6: He didn't want to recrupt stuff. So he's doing his
- 34:09Speaker 6: own thing. But he's got some good tunes other than
- 34:12Speaker 6: that one. He's a patriot right there, and he tells
- 34:14Speaker 6: it from the heart. Man, He's he's a good guy.
- 34:16Speaker 6: He's uh, he'd be a good one. I don't know
- 34:19Speaker 6: if he'd accept it.
- 34:21Speaker 11: He'd be a good one.
- 34:22Speaker 2: You know what I do know that song was really
- 34:25Speaker 2: a powerful song that that he wrote, that ballad, and uh,
- 34:29Speaker 2: you know, I think things went a little squirrely south
- 34:31Speaker 2: with him. I didn't follow the story, but yeah, you know,
- 34:35Speaker 2: I think that that would be a great a great idea,
- 34:37Speaker 2: a great selection.
- 34:39Speaker 6: He didn't want the notoriety and he didn't want a
- 34:41Speaker 6: big business and all the stuff he had to do
- 34:43Speaker 6: to kiss up to him, and he said, no, I'll
- 34:46Speaker 6: do my own thing. I guess is how it went.
- 34:48Speaker 6: But from what I understand I read a little bit
- 34:50Speaker 6: about him, But Oliver Anthony, he'd be a good one.
- 34:52Speaker 6: I don't know if he'd be willing or not, but
- 34:54Speaker 6: dog gone, good song, good artist.
- 34:56Speaker 2: All Danny, God bless him, my friend, and thank you
- 34:59Speaker 2: for listening to us there in Memphis and the real
- 35:02Speaker 2: quick Charnles Right now, Todd Hank Williams Junior doesn't get
- 35:06Speaker 2: more Americana than that. Well, that's true, all right? Nine
- 35:10Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two sixs It
- 35:12Speaker 2: is open line Friday, gotta take you a quick break.
- 35:15Speaker 2: We'll be right back, all right, America. This is three
- 35:29Speaker 2: you Dylan, do not do not fade this out America.
- 35:33Speaker 2: It is time to jam. You know, this is why
- 35:58Speaker 2: America is the greatest thing. Deface this one song. That's why.
- 36:03Speaker 2: All right, let's let's go to Hannah, who's probably jamming
- 36:07Speaker 2: out right now, to Leonard Skinner to Hi, Hannah, how
- 36:09Speaker 2: are you today?
- 36:11Speaker 17: Bye?
- 36:12Speaker 18: To how are you?
- 36:13Speaker 2: I'm good? I'm good.
- 36:16Speaker 19: Do you sound good?
- 36:17Speaker 11: Well?
- 36:17Speaker 20: First of bog, just wanting to let you know, I'm
- 36:19Speaker 20: so glad you're back and you're healthy and you're you know,
- 36:22Speaker 20: doing much better on frays for you during your recent
- 36:25Speaker 20: health issues.
- 36:26Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you.
- 36:28Speaker 20: You're you're amazing, You're you're a national treasure. Uh but
- 36:33Speaker 20: I but I did want to say. You know, I
- 36:35Speaker 20: grew up in the late eighties early nineties listening to
- 36:37Speaker 20: country music, and I think Clint Black and George Strait
- 36:42Speaker 20: would be absolute shoeings for this event. Nothing beats the
- 36:48Speaker 20: country from the eighties and nineties.
- 36:50Speaker 2: Boy, you're not kidding, Hannah. I there's a great George
- 36:53Speaker 2: Straight song I saw god today. Man, that song gets
- 36:57Speaker 2: me every single time.
- 37:01Speaker 20: Yeah. Oh, they're awesome. I saw them both in concert
- 37:04Speaker 20: and they they're big supporters of our troops and they're
- 37:07Speaker 20: just really a couple of really great patriots.
- 37:10Speaker 2: You know, I think the lesson here, Hannah, as we've
- 37:12Speaker 2: had so many people calling in this hour, and the
- 37:15Speaker 2: lesson is that there are so many great patriotic musical artists.
- 37:19Speaker 2: I just think that we need to start embracing those
- 37:21Speaker 2: people and giving those people a platform. And who knows,
- 37:25Speaker 2: some of these other folks like Martina McBride, they might
- 37:28Speaker 2: see the light and understand that, you know, there are
- 37:30Speaker 2: some things more important important in life than getting you know,
- 37:35Speaker 2: a piece of hate mail.
- 37:37Speaker 20: Absolutely, yeah, I agree, definitely.
- 37:40Speaker 2: All right, Hannah, I'm right here with you. I'm I
- 37:43Speaker 2: was like an early eighties, mid eighties growing up, and
- 37:47Speaker 2: there was some great music back in that genre. And
- 37:49Speaker 2: it does trouble me though that now my music that
- 37:52Speaker 2: I grew up with is on the music when you
- 37:55Speaker 2: get into the elevators that is still a little weird. Yeah,
- 37:59Speaker 2: grow or the store, Oh my gosh, wow, Oh yeah.
- 38:07Speaker 2: When you hear when you hear Culture Club in the
- 38:09Speaker 2: produce section, you're like, oh, geez, I better check my
- 38:13Speaker 2: social security all right, Hanna, thank you for those kind words.
- 38:18Speaker 2: By the way, folks down thirteen pounds and I'm promising
- 38:21Speaker 2: you you're gonna have a smaller version of Starns coming
- 38:26Speaker 2: at you by the end of the summer. All right,

- 39:28Speaker 2: been following the situation out of Texas with James Tallerico,
- 39:33Speaker 2: and it's almost like every single day something new about
- 39:37Speaker 2: this guy surfaces, and a lot of comments, a lot
- 39:40Speaker 2: of things he's said from these liberal churches. I want
- 39:44Speaker 2: you to hear how he describes all of you, lovely
- 39:48Speaker 2: ladies of the Ton Stearns Radio Show audience. Take a
- 39:52Speaker 2: listen to cut thirty one.
- 39:53Speaker 19: Every one of our neighbors with the uterus became the
- 39:56Speaker 19: property of the state. One of our neighbors with the
- 39:59Speaker 19: uterus to be able to control their own body. Our
- 40:01Speaker 19: neighbors with the uterus. One of our neighbors with the uterus.
- 40:04Speaker 2: Yeah, so he calls all of you women neighbors with
- 40:07Speaker 2: a uterus. So Stephen Miller was over on Fox News
- 40:12Speaker 2: and here's what he had to say about tall Rico.
- 40:15Speaker 21: Very bold Well could even say brave courageous that the
- 40:18Speaker 21: Democratic Party would choose Texas, of all places, to nominate
- 40:22Speaker 21: their first transgender Senate candidate who's clearly transitioning into a female.
- 40:26Speaker 21: You know when when tall Ico goes in for a
- 40:29Speaker 21: blood test, when he gets a physical, blood doesn't come
- 40:31Speaker 21: out instead, soy milk comes in this This man has
- 40:35Speaker 21: less testosterone than Jasmine Crockett. It is it is mind
- 40:40Speaker 21: boggling choice. Would they would choose a person to run
- 40:44Speaker 21: for that office who looks like he doesn't belong in
- 40:47Speaker 21: the Senate but in the cabaret show. Look at the
- 40:50Speaker 21: end of the day, at the end of the day,
- 40:52Speaker 21: I have a hard time believing that the people of
- 40:55Speaker 21: Texas some of the toughest, roughest, strongest, and woman the
- 41:01Speaker 21: pioneer heritage, the frontier history from the Mexican American War
- 41:07Speaker 21: through the Alho and everything else. Are going to choose
- 41:10Speaker 21: somebody with that much soy to be a US senator
- 41:13Speaker 21: compared to compared to a real conservative, patriotic, god fearing
- 41:19Speaker 21: and truly beloved statewide figure in Ken Taxa.
- 41:22Speaker 2: Uh yeah, who knew Stephen Miller was a stand up comedian.
- 41:26Speaker 2: Well done there, sir, all right, our telephone number nine
- 41:30Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. That's
- 41:32Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 41:35Speaker 3: Now.
- 41:36Speaker 2: A few days ago, we told you the story of
- 41:39Speaker 2: Noel Caski, who is a seventh grade student in Colorado,
- 41:44Speaker 2: and she wanted to deliver a poem. This is all
- 41:47Speaker 2: part of a of a classroom assignment and she wanted
- 41:50Speaker 2: to deliver this poem and her poem was about the
- 41:53Speaker 2: pro life movement. And the teacher rejected the girl's poem
- 41:59Speaker 2: and said that it was it could be construed as
- 42:02Speaker 2: offensive to people, it was too political, and she was
- 42:06Speaker 2: just not allowed to deliver that poem. Well, we are
- 42:10Speaker 2: just honored to have Noel on the program along with
- 42:13Speaker 2: her mom, Jackie. Ladies, good to see you again. I
- 42:17Speaker 2: know we had you on my NEWSMAC Show. And I'm
- 42:19Speaker 2: so glad that you're able to make time to join
- 42:21Speaker 2: us here for our radio audience.
- 42:25Speaker 22: Thank you so much for having us.
- 42:26Speaker 2: So, Noel, I want to start with you, and I
- 42:29Speaker 2: want you to explain to our audience what the assignment
- 42:32Speaker 2: was and what sort of poem you wanted to write.
- 42:38Speaker 14: Well, our assignment in class was you were supposed to
- 42:42Speaker 14: write a slam poem about a conflict in the world
- 42:46Speaker 14: that we are passionate about and that we think that
- 42:49Speaker 14: we need to share and let more people know about.
- 42:53Speaker 14: And we had to get reputable resources and we had
- 42:57Speaker 14: to make sure that we had a certain amount of
- 43:02Speaker 14: turn amount of different things first of that poem.
- 43:05Speaker 2: So, I'm curious you decided to write about the pro
- 43:08Speaker 2: life issue. Were there other poems that were that were
- 43:12Speaker 2: submitted that maybe talked about other perhaps controversial or political things.
- 43:18Speaker 14: Yes, there were many different things such as race and
- 43:23Speaker 14: gender that were in poems in the class.
- 43:27Speaker 2: Okay, so you wrote a poem and your poem was
- 43:30Speaker 2: about the pro life movement. Tell me a little bit,
- 43:33Speaker 2: give me a flavor and idea of what that poem
- 43:35Speaker 2: was about.
- 43:37Speaker 14: It was about how choosing life is really important and
- 43:41Speaker 14: how it is just really the most important thing in
- 43:46Speaker 14: choosing life for those little kids.
- 43:48Speaker 2: Yeah, well, and it is, it really is. So you
- 43:51Speaker 2: wrote this beautiful poem and your teacher. Tell me about
- 43:55Speaker 2: that interaction with your teacher. What happened at that point, Well.
- 43:59Speaker 14: She came to my desk and said, you cannot read
- 44:02Speaker 14: your poem. It is too offensive and there's just some
- 44:09Speaker 14: things that we can't talk about class.
- 44:11Speaker 2: Jackie, I want to bring you into the conversation. So
- 44:14Speaker 2: when your daughter tells you all of these things, what
- 44:17Speaker 2: is going through your mind?
- 44:20Speaker 22: For me, I was shocked because I had previously gone
- 44:25Speaker 22: to the teacher and the principal and talked to them
- 44:28Speaker 22: about the fact that they introduced a lot of different issues,
- 44:31Speaker 22: including transgender LGBTQ issues, immigration, and so I was wondering,
- 44:37Speaker 22: because they brought all those topics up, why was this
- 44:40Speaker 22: one off limits?
- 44:42Speaker 2: Did you get an explanation for that, buy any chance?
- 44:46Speaker 22: No, they just said that this particular issue is just
- 44:51Speaker 22: too politically charged, that it would make people in the
- 44:54Speaker 22: class feel unsafe, and they just wouldn't allow it, and
- 44:57Speaker 22: they're trying to stay away from all political issues. When
- 45:00Speaker 22: I refuted that and showed them the evidence that they
- 45:02Speaker 22: had already list, you know, gone through a list of
- 45:05Speaker 22: topics that were politically charged. They just kind of dismissed me.
- 45:10Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the problem I have here. And if again,
- 45:13Speaker 2: if you're going to allow a child to deliver a
- 45:15Speaker 2: poem on the you know, LGBT movement or maybe they're
- 45:18Speaker 2: anti this or anti that, surely you would have to
- 45:21Speaker 2: allow people like Noel here to deliver her poem which
- 45:25Speaker 2: is about her personal belief system.
- 45:29Speaker 14: Correct.
- 45:30Speaker 22: And I even incited to them, you know us their words,
- 45:33Speaker 22: and said, you're not very inclusive if you're not allowing
- 45:36Speaker 22: her to talk about what she believes in, you know,
- 45:39Speaker 22: that's that goes against your school policy. You're not being respectful.
- 45:44Speaker 22: So and again they just dismissed me and said, sorry.
- 45:47Speaker 23: We're not going to allow it.
- 45:49Speaker 2: I'm curious, Jackie. The story has certainly gone national, it's
- 45:53Speaker 2: gone viral. Libs of TikTok of course broke the story initially,
- 45:57Speaker 2: and we love those great folks and their great work.
- 46:00Speaker 2: Has been the response and the reaction that you and
- 46:02Speaker 2: your family have received over the past week or so.
- 46:06Speaker 22: We have had a lot of people complimenting Noel on
- 46:10Speaker 22: being so brave and for highlighting a topic in Colorado
- 46:15Speaker 22: that is kind of taboo for people to even talk about.
- 46:18Speaker 22: It should just be accepted that abortion is something that
- 46:23Speaker 22: our state does well. And so I've been encouraged that
- 46:30Speaker 22: so many people have received this poem and stood up
- 46:33Speaker 22: and said, yes, this is wrong, and we need to
- 46:37Speaker 22: look at this a different way than the nation.
- 46:41Speaker 14: Is saying we should.
- 46:43Speaker 2: Noel, do you have a copy of the poem handy
- 46:46Speaker 2: binding chance? Noel, if you don't mind, I'd like for
- 46:51Speaker 2: you to just read to the read to our audience
- 46:54Speaker 2: what your poem is. And I think people need to
- 46:57Speaker 2: understand what we're talking about here, So why don't you
- 46:59Speaker 2: just go ahead and read your poem to us?
- 47:02Speaker 14: Of course, a life is a life, no matter how small.
- 47:06Speaker 14: Seventy three million people have been killed in one year,
- 47:09Speaker 14: and you will be killed again this year, if not more.
- 47:11Speaker 14: When they are completely innocent humans, they never get to
- 47:15Speaker 14: see their lab of day before they are cast away.
- 47:17Speaker 14: They do nothing wrong except exist, and we're dismissed. People
- 47:20Speaker 14: say women in health care, but never think how unfair
- 47:23Speaker 14: they kill a baby for simply being there. The word
- 47:26Speaker 14: God says, you knit me together in my mother's roomb.
- 47:29Speaker 14: How come we never listen to this and try to
- 47:30Speaker 14: send them to a tune. I'm fearfully and wondrous you made.
- 47:34Speaker 14: Your works are wonderful. His works are wonderful and beautiful.
- 47:38Speaker 14: A person is a person, no matter how small. A
- 47:41Speaker 14: life is a life, no matter how small. We often
- 47:43Speaker 14: forget this important detail. This detail could save a life.
- 47:46Speaker 14: Sixty percent of babies who weren't intended have died because
- 47:49Speaker 14: of this. Lot of people kill these innocent babies with
- 47:51Speaker 14: the pill. Why of people say babies in the womb
- 47:54Speaker 14: are a mistake, a thing that needs to be gotten
- 47:56Speaker 14: rid of.
- 47:56Speaker 5: Why?
- 47:56Speaker 11: Why why?
- 47:57Speaker 14: When you ask someone is murther bad, they say, yes,
- 47:59Speaker 14: of course. But how come when you say murdering innocent
- 48:02Speaker 14: babies is bad, they shame you. They say women rights
- 48:04Speaker 14: in healthcare? But what about the baby's rights? That's what's unfair.
- 48:07Speaker 14: From the moment they are created, they are a human person.
- 48:10Speaker 14: They are created in God's image. People say women rights
- 48:13Speaker 14: in healthcare, They say it's just a cup of cells.
- 48:15Speaker 14: But no one dwells in the fact that baby still
- 48:17Speaker 14: has a heartbeat at six weeks. Boom boom, boom boom.
- 48:20Speaker 14: I think compared to the love a mother has for
- 48:22Speaker 14: her baby. So just maybe we let them have a
- 48:25Speaker 14: chance to live and that love will grow. Destruction does
- 48:28Speaker 14: may dread when more people comprehend that this needs to
- 48:31Speaker 14: come to an end. A life is a life, no
- 48:33Speaker 14: matter how small.
- 48:35Speaker 2: I just you know, Jankie, as a mom, you have
- 48:39Speaker 2: to be so proud of your daughter here. I mean,
- 48:41Speaker 2: what a beautifully written poem and the ideas and the concepts.
- 48:46Speaker 2: That's pretty impressive for seventh grader to write something like that.
- 48:51Speaker 20: Yeah, I'm so proud of her.
- 48:53Speaker 22: And it is actually an issue that is very personal
- 48:58Speaker 22: to our family because my birth mom was fourteen when
- 49:00Speaker 22: she got pregnant with me in fifteen when she had me,
- 49:03Speaker 22: And if she lived in the climate now where she
- 49:05Speaker 22: could have just gone and made a decision without her parents,
- 49:10Speaker 22: we maybe would never even be here.
- 49:13Speaker 2: Well that is a sobering a sobering thought, but it's true.
- 49:18Speaker 2: You know, Jackie. What is the message here to moms
- 49:22Speaker 2: and dads around the nation. Maybe their kids are facing
- 49:25Speaker 2: the same thing that Noel faced in that classroom at
- 49:28Speaker 2: Drake Middle School.
- 49:30Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 49:31Speaker 22: I think my advice is really be curious about what
- 49:34Speaker 22: they are feeding your kids. You need to get involved
- 49:36Speaker 22: you need to look at their Google classroom, ask them questions,
- 49:41Speaker 22: be curious about what the teachers are teaching them. It
- 49:44Speaker 22: seems to be that teachers think they can just do
- 49:47Speaker 22: whatever they want and there's no consequences.
- 49:50Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 49:50Speaker 2: Absolutely, And again, speaking out I think is such an
- 49:53Speaker 2: important thing to do as well, because you know, if
- 49:57Speaker 2: we don't know about these issues, we can't do anything about.
- 50:00Speaker 2: I have to imagine, Jackie, and I don't know if
- 50:02Speaker 2: you've heard any reports. I have to imagine a lot
- 50:05Speaker 2: of people have probably been contacting the school in the
- 50:07Speaker 2: school district over this.
- 50:10Speaker 22: I hope so, because I feel like there's been a
- 50:16Speaker 22: lot of views that have come through Jeffco and they're
- 50:18Speaker 22: seemingly not a whole lot of consequences. It seems like
- 50:21Speaker 22: when there's problems that our eyes, they just shuffle teachers
- 50:24Speaker 22: and they shuffle administrators, and those people just are still
- 50:27Speaker 22: in the district.
- 50:28Speaker 2: All right, Well, Jackie, we're gonna have to live with her. Noel,
- 50:31Speaker 2: well done, and good luck to you. I hope you
- 50:33Speaker 2: have a wonderful summer and keep writing those poems. Ladies.
- 50:38Speaker 2: Thank you for joining us here on the show today.
- 50:41Speaker 22: Thank you so much.
- 50:42Speaker 11: Todd, have a good day.
- 50:43Speaker 2: All right YouTube Jackie Caskey and her daughter Noel, and
- 50:47Speaker 2: what a wonderful family and folks. This is why we
- 50:52Speaker 2: do what we do. And I think this is what
- 50:53Speaker 2: makes this program stand out in talk radio is that
- 50:57Speaker 2: we stand alongside America who are simply trying to live
- 51:01Speaker 2: out their faith. We stand alongside families that are raising
- 51:04Speaker 2: their kids with godly values, and then those kids are
- 51:08Speaker 2: coming under attack in our public schools. Those are the
- 51:11Speaker 2: stories that really really matter to us here on this program.
- 51:15Speaker 2: All right, we've got to take a break. Nine oh
- 51:17Speaker 2: one two six zero five, nine two six. Again our
- 51:20Speaker 2: telephone number nine oh one two six zero five to
- 51:23Speaker 2: nine two six. This is the Todd Sterns Show. All right,
- 51:35Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Let's go
- 51:37Speaker 2: right to the phones on this open line Friday, nine
- 51:40Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five, nine two six. Pastor
- 51:43Speaker 2: John in Kentucky, mister John, what's on your mind today?
- 51:48Speaker 24: Well, first and foremost the important question everybody wants to know.
- 51:52Speaker 24: How is our friend, our buddy Todd Starn's doing well.
- 51:57Speaker 2: Look, Tod Stearns is doing really well. You know, it's
- 52:00Speaker 2: it's it's been quite the adventure, and I will say this,
- 52:05Speaker 2: you know this, It was really a wake up call.
- 52:07Speaker 2: And uh, you know, I'm super busy, so I'm having
- 52:11Speaker 2: to force myself to take the time, you know, to
- 52:13Speaker 2: get out there, make sure I'm eating healthy, you know,
- 52:16Speaker 2: doing the exercise. Look, a lot of this I was
- 52:19Speaker 2: just stupid. What do you want me to say, Pastor John?
- 52:21Speaker 2: You know you got it. I really didn't think pork
- 52:23Speaker 2: was the other white meat, and I thought gravy was
- 52:25Speaker 2: a lubricant. I mean, I had no idea, but in
- 52:28Speaker 2: all seriousness, obeying the doctor's orders to the letter. So
- 52:35Speaker 2: so I'm getting I'm on the road to recovery, and
- 52:39Speaker 2: now it's just a matter of you know, getting your
- 52:40Speaker 2: exercise and doing all of that kind of stuff.
- 52:43Speaker 24: Well, I just want to let you know, every night
- 52:45Speaker 24: with my son and I prayer our family prayer, we
- 52:47Speaker 24: always list you up in prayer that I want you.
- 52:50Speaker 2: That means a lot.
- 52:52Speaker 24: The question I have is that that young girl that
- 52:55Speaker 24: stood up to the school board and everything else, I
- 52:58Speaker 24: just wanted to make a point of apocrisy. Listen to
- 53:01Speaker 24: your commentary because I know it's going to be really good.
- 53:04Speaker 24: When you know they call it a clump of cells.
- 53:06Speaker 24: But yet when a woman is killed in a car
- 53:09Speaker 24: accident by a drunk driver, they don't just talk about
- 53:12Speaker 24: vehicular homicide of the woman that's in the car, but
- 53:15Speaker 24: they're also talking about vehicular homicide for the unborn child.
- 53:20Speaker 24: And also the second question I have is that why
- 53:23Speaker 24: don't churches when that little girl stood up to the
- 53:26Speaker 24: school board, why don't these churches and pastors in Colorado.
- 53:29Speaker 24: I know there's a lot of good Bible believing ones
- 53:31Speaker 24: and you know that, Todd, But why don't they stand
- 53:34Speaker 24: up with that little girl and go toe to toe
- 53:36Speaker 24: with these school boards? And I'll hang up and listen
- 53:38Speaker 24: for your answer, Todd. And again, we are so thankful
- 53:42Speaker 24: to the Lord Jesus Christ that you're doing better. We
- 53:44Speaker 24: love you, Todd.
- 53:45Speaker 2: Well, Pastor John, thank you. That just means the world
- 53:48Speaker 2: to me, and it really does. And yeah, it's it's
- 53:52Speaker 2: been a rough ride. But you know what the doctors are,
- 53:55Speaker 2: you know, they're great, nurses are awesome, and I'm gonna
- 53:59Speaker 2: have a full work so I'm very excited about that.
- 54:02Speaker 2: And otherwise, Dylan, I was going to figure out a
- 54:05Speaker 2: way to do the show from a hospital bed. I
- 54:09Speaker 2: know you would have we would have figured it out
- 54:11Speaker 2: a way.
- 54:11Speaker 4: I mean, we have the technology for it. I just
- 54:13Speaker 4: don't think I could morally do that.
- 54:16Speaker 2: That's a good point. I want to talk to Parker
- 54:19Speaker 2: real quick, so we can't get grab Parker into the microphone,
- 54:22Speaker 2: and let's bring in Joe from La j Georgia while
- 54:25Speaker 2: we're doing that. Joe, good to hear from you, my friend.
- 54:30Speaker 7: God, you're the best. And I'll tell you what. It's
- 54:32Speaker 7: great to call you on a day when the stock
- 54:34Speaker 7: market has broken every record in history. And I want
- 54:38Speaker 7: to say on your great national talk show and my judgment,
- 54:41Speaker 7: Donald John Trump is by far the best leader in history.
- 54:45Speaker 7: I mean, Todd, We're breaking new records all over the
- 54:48Speaker 7: world every day, including today. So I've never been so
- 54:52Speaker 7: fired up. And I've just got back from see Allen.

- 54:57Speaker 7: Ljay and I'm so glad you're doing well. I was.
- 55:00Speaker 7: I was really worried about you. But it sounds to
- 55:02Speaker 7: me like you're in good Jake.
- 55:04Speaker 2: Yeah, I am on the road to recovery, Joe, no
- 55:07Speaker 2: doubt about that. But I gotta I gotta bring Parker.
- 55:09Speaker 2: You know, Parker is filling in for the lovely Miss Helen.
- 55:12Speaker 2: Miss Helen is out on vacation and Joe he Parker. Apparently, Parker,
- 55:19Speaker 2: you're unfamiliar with l J. Georgia, I am Joe. The
- 55:23Speaker 2: way this the town's name is written, it's like a
- 55:26Speaker 2: rapper name. I was like, l J.
- 55:31Speaker 11: That's funny.
- 55:32Speaker 7: Don you've never heard that, but that's pretty good. That's funny.
- 55:36Speaker 2: So so anyway, Parker, it's E L L I J
- 55:41Speaker 2: A Y. I learned something new, to learn something new today.
- 55:45Speaker 2: They don't teach you that at Sanford University.
- 55:48Speaker 3: They do not.
- 55:48Speaker 2: We gotta work. We gotta work with him, all right.
- 55:53Speaker 2: Thank you Parker. Uh, Joe, it's great hearing from you,
- 55:56Speaker 2: my friend, and glad you had a good time down
- 55:58Speaker 2: at Sea Island.
- 55:59Speaker 13: Uh.

- 56:02Speaker 2: calling from there, and I have got to get down
- 56:04Speaker 2: there one of these summers.
- 56:06Speaker 7: Come down and see me. We'll introduce you around. We'll

- 56:36Speaker 2: with like cracker barrel meals.
- 56:39Speaker 3: Yeah, they want you fed.
- 56:40Speaker 2: We did one book tour and I literally by the
- 56:42Speaker 2: third stop we had four gallons of Milo's teeth.
- 56:46Speaker 3: You canick it.
- 56:47Speaker 2: What am I gonna do?
- 56:48Speaker 3: It's kicking on the plane.
- 56:51Speaker 2: But I don't blame anybody for my current predicament other
- 56:54Speaker 2: than me. So there you go. All that to say,

- 57:38Speaker 2: I feel like I'm representing all of America. To be
- 57:42Speaker 2: honest with you, Joe Messina, our great friend radio host,
- 57:46Speaker 2: and Joe our favorite Italian.
- 57:48Speaker 13: I guess.
- 57:54Speaker 12: Joe.
- 57:55Speaker 2: Tomorrow is the Memphis Italian Festival and the slogan is
- 57:59Speaker 2: where everyone is Italian, and I am one of the
- 58:03Speaker 2: guest expert judges in the gravy competition. This is tomorrow,
- 58:07Speaker 2: and I've never done anything like this. I have been
- 58:09Speaker 2: all this week. I've been going to Olive Garden and
- 58:12Speaker 2: Buka to Beppo to try to prepare. Oh oh god, Todd,
- 58:19Speaker 2: I thought we were but I went to Kroger, did
- 58:22Speaker 2: a blind taste test, prego chef boy Arty and what
- 58:26Speaker 2: was the other ragou? You're killing me, so I think
- 58:30Speaker 2: I'm ready.
- 58:33Speaker 17: You're killing The only thing in that whole conversation you
- 58:37Speaker 17: said that was one true was You're called it gravy.
- 58:41Speaker 2: Okay, Oh yes, I've voted together. So this is in
- 58:45Speaker 2: all seriousness. This is a lot of fun. Memphis does
- 58:48Speaker 2: a wonderful job with the festivals. You know, we have
- 58:50Speaker 2: a huge Greek community here, but the Italian community is
- 58:54Speaker 2: pretty massive and some of our oldest Italian some of
- 58:57Speaker 2: the oldest restaurants going back over one hundred and on
- 59:00Speaker 2: years are actually Italian restaurants here in the Memphis area.
- 59:04Speaker 13: Joe, Yeah, you surprised me.
- 59:07Speaker 17: I gotta tell you, I never saw the South as
- 59:09Speaker 17: a as a big Italian place for people to be.
- 59:13Speaker 17: You know, my wife is from Georgia. She's a Georgia peach.
- 59:16Speaker 17: And Miss Tammy is actually in Georgia now as we speak. Ah,
- 59:19Speaker 17: and she never when we got married, we came back
- 59:23Speaker 17: to California. After about the first month, she looked at me, says,
- 59:26Speaker 17: you're killing me. I ain't pasta maybe once a month.
- 59:29Speaker 17: We've had it four nights a week here.
- 59:31Speaker 2: That's oh, yeah, that's about it.
- 59:33Speaker 17: Yep, it's so anyhow. No, I'm really surprised, and I
- 59:38Speaker 17: hope you have a good time. And yes, it is gravy.
- 59:41Speaker 17: You'll know the real Italians when you say gravy. If
- 59:43Speaker 17: they don't WinCE, you're good. If they wins, tell them
- 59:46Speaker 17: to go pounds that I will do that. I'm excited
- 59:48Speaker 17: about this. I mean, looking at some of the competition
- 59:51Speaker 17: names of the teams, they all have names. Uh there's
- 59:54Speaker 17: one called Bada being Bata Boom. That's the name of
- 59:57Speaker 17: the team. Another is uh Paisano's another one is Holy Canoli.
- 1:00:05Speaker 17: Oh that sounds I wonder if those are like priest
- 1:00:07Speaker 17: or something. You know you need you're missing a team.
- 1:00:11Speaker 17: Next year, you and I'll do a team. We'll call
- 1:00:13Speaker 17: the team forget about it.
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: Oh, forget about it? Oh I love it. Or food fellas.
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: Here's another one, food fellas. Two Italians, lots of rednecks.
- 1:00:24Speaker 17: Just as long as nobody's using you know, ketchup on
- 1:00:29Speaker 17: their spaghetti, you'd be good.
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: I yeah, I think in the south southern Italians, I
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: don't think they're going to go for that. So oh,
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: here we go. The Alfredo Brothers that's another team name.
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: And Pasta Pasta Pigs, Pasta Pigs. So here's what you think.
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: You got Buka de Bippo out there? Right?
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: Oh we do have Bubo.
- 1:00:50Speaker 17: Okay, So my joke is a friend of mine to
- 1:00:53Speaker 17: a bunch of friends of mine. They took me there
- 1:00:55Speaker 17: for quote unquote authentic Italian dinner, and so I went
- 1:00:59Speaker 17: and they bring the meatball out that's the size of
- 1:01:02Speaker 17: a softball.
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: Yeah that's about right.
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: Yeah said listen.
- 1:01:06Speaker 17: Guys, I'm like forty eight years old at the time,
- 1:01:09Speaker 17: and I go, I've been Italian all my life. I've
- 1:01:11Speaker 17: never seen anything like this. Okay, I mean to take
- 1:01:15Speaker 17: a meat loaf and make it round what happened here?
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: Because that's not what I'm used to Joe, you're telling
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: me that Italian families don't sit around a round table
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: with a pope's head in the middle where they put
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: the pizza pope stable.
- 1:01:26Speaker 3: That's right.
- 1:01:27Speaker 17: No, no, no, they get up and get their meals.
- 1:01:30Speaker 17: Although dad, you feed him, you give him his food separately,
- 1:01:35Speaker 17: but no, no, it's a free fraud at an Italian table.
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you about this thing, Joe, and
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: we're gonna talk politics in a minute. But this is huge.
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: So they're doing something called a grape stamp tomorrow and
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: also a homemade wine competition. I wish I could have
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: judged that, but I'm a Baptist, so you know, yeah, yeah,
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: r yeah, that would not my mom. You know, my
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: mom was diehard Baptist. She would not allow us to
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: drink Welch's grape juice one day past the expiration date
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: because of the fermentation. True story.
- 1:02:05Speaker 17: How many Italian Baptists you think there might be? I
- 1:02:08Speaker 17: have to find it out.
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: Oh my, that's a good question. Anyway, Team members Dylan,
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: maybe you and I should do this. Team members stomp
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: barefoot on grapes and wine barrels, releasing the grape juice.
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: The juice is then measured to see which team provided
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: the most and they've got The whole thing is organized
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: by a pair of Holy Rosary teachers. You don't want
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: to mess with the nuns.
- 1:02:30Speaker 4: I feel like you just have to have big feet
- 1:02:31Speaker 4: and then you know, in right, just find the tallest dude.
- 1:02:35Speaker 17: You can't with the yardsticks. Those women could bring you
- 1:02:39Speaker 17: to your knees of the yard stick in about thirty seconds.
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: I love this idea. So, folks, if you're interested at
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: Memphis Italian Festival dot org, if you're anywhere in the area,
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: you know, swing on buy and sale. O would love
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: to say O to you. That's Memphis, Memphis Italian Festival
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: dot org. So there you go, Joe a lot. You know,
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: it's interesting. There is so much happening in California in
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: the world of politics, and I'm not sure anyone ever
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: thought that we would be in a situation where you
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: would have a Republican possibly, you know, as a winner
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: of the gubernatorial race, and Spencer prant as possible the
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: next mayor of Los Angeles.
- 1:03:19Speaker 17: I know he's getting so much he special Pratt, that is,
- 1:03:22Speaker 17: he's getting so much traction. I think it's I think
- 1:03:24Speaker 17: it's really interesting. And even the entertainers are coming alongside him,
- 1:03:28Speaker 17: which I find again really interesting for heavy dem city.
- 1:03:33Speaker 17: You know, you know they're nervous. Karen Bass is out there, uh,
- 1:03:36Speaker 17: speaking against him. You've got some other organizations come out
- 1:03:39Speaker 17: there speaking against him and there. And what I find
- 1:03:42Speaker 17: interesting too is they're trying to They're trying to use
- 1:03:45Speaker 17: AI to come against him. I mean, the guy is
- 1:03:48Speaker 17: like the king of AI. He's the king of these
- 1:03:50Speaker 17: kind of commercials. And it's a stupid ploy. It's a
- 1:03:53Speaker 17: stupid way to go. And don't you find an interesting
- 1:03:56Speaker 17: time that you know, when the Democrats are talking about Trump,
- 1:03:59Speaker 17: they don't talk about her. She's they're beating on Trump.
- 1:04:02Speaker 17: So what the Democrats in LA are doing now is
- 1:04:03Speaker 17: there who we are they beating on? They're being on
- 1:04:05Speaker 17: Spencer Pratt. They're coming against him. Oh, he's just an influencer.
- 1:04:08Speaker 17: He really doesn't know how to run a city. He
- 1:04:10Speaker 17: doesn't understand government. Well maybe it's a good thing he
- 1:04:13Speaker 17: doesn't understand government. He'll go there and shake it up
- 1:04:16Speaker 17: big time. So I hope people, I hope people truly
- 1:04:19Speaker 17: in California are tired of this garbage and they bring
- 1:04:22Speaker 17: in somebody like Pratt.
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: My concern.
- 1:04:25Speaker 17: Let's go to the governor's race for a second. We
- 1:04:27Speaker 17: all were kind of excited, thinking, all right, maybe the
- 1:04:29Speaker 17: people in California had it, maybe they're done with all
- 1:04:32Speaker 17: of this. We actually saw up until about two days ago,
- 1:04:36Speaker 17: the Dems were way behind and returning their ballots on
- 1:04:39Speaker 17: the race, the governor's races in general, and they searched
- 1:04:46Speaker 17: within a day or two. And now you're looking at
- 1:04:49Speaker 17: you know, Hilton might be at the top, but he's
- 1:04:51Speaker 17: only at the top by three points. Vis Sarah's right
- 1:04:54Speaker 17: behind him, and Visserah, I mean he came from nowhere. Basically,
- 1:05:00Speaker 17: he's a nowhere guy. He's really done nothing because aggravation.
- 1:05:04Speaker 17: Now he's there, Stires shortly behind him, and Bianco's behind him.
- 1:05:08Speaker 3: This is scary.
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: It's going to take a lot of And again there
- 1:05:12Speaker 2: have been a lot of people saying, well, you know,
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: Bianco needs to drop out. Is that what needs to
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: happen here? Or should it just be you know, vote
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: for who you like.
- 1:05:21Speaker 17: You know, first of all, it's too late for Bianco
- 1:05:24Speaker 17: to drop out. And if he's truly a man of integrity,
- 1:05:26Speaker 17: and I don't dislike the guy, I've talked to him
- 1:05:28Speaker 17: several times, he's got to look at the numbers and
- 1:05:30Speaker 17: realize he's not going to make it. So what I
- 1:05:32Speaker 17: would be doing is commercials saying look, I'm endorsing Hilton,
- 1:05:36Speaker 17: I'm behind now, I'm right behind Hilton. If we're really
- 1:05:39Speaker 17: going to pull this off, you need to vote for
- 1:05:41Speaker 17: Hilton because at this point, we've had what a month,
- 1:05:45Speaker 17: which is ridiculous. We've been a month of early voting.
- 1:05:48Speaker 17: A lot of those ballots are and a lot of
- 1:05:50Speaker 17: Republicans have returned their ballots. I don't know how many
- 1:05:52Speaker 17: have gone to him already. And I think it's too
- 1:05:55Speaker 17: late for him just to say I'm out. He needs
- 1:05:57Speaker 17: now to pump up.
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: Hilton right now, because otherwise you're gonna split the voter.
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: And that is that the concern that that's really that
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: Bianco's numbers are not all that great, but it could
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: be enough to actually elevate Stire and Besserah.
- 1:06:12Speaker 17: I think Stire's unless he just hits it with heavy
- 1:06:15Speaker 17: cash and he's got the money. I mean, he's got
- 1:06:17Speaker 17: cookie jar money, right that he could make this happen with.
- 1:06:20Speaker 17: Last time I heard is he spent close to two
- 1:06:22Speaker 17: hundred million dollars. I don't know, not true that is,
- 1:06:24Speaker 17: but that's not heard. And and again for him, it's
- 1:06:28Speaker 17: it's you know, it's weekend blowing, weekend money. But I
- 1:06:32Speaker 17: don't think Stire really has a chance.
- 1:06:34Speaker 19: They know who he is.
- 1:06:35Speaker 17: Matter of fact, the Democrats are actually running ads against
- 1:06:37Speaker 17: him as to being that rich billionaire trying to buy
- 1:06:41Speaker 17: his way into a seat, and we don't need that.
- 1:06:44Speaker 17: So I'm you know, again, we'll see, we'll see how
- 1:06:47Speaker 17: that plays out. But I'm fairly fairly confident that Hilton
- 1:06:52Speaker 17: will get in there. It'll be between those two.
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: All right. Joe Messina on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker Line today.
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: Joe a great national radio host and covering all things California.
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: You know, I keep going back to this, you know,
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: I want to go back to the mayor's race for
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: just a moment. As terrible as things are, I mean,
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: it is awful. Santa Monica's a complete mess. Used to
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: be a terrific tourist hub everywhere you go in Los Angeles.
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: You got the homeless people, the drug addicts. I'm wondering
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: what is it going to take for the left to
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: wake up and realize this is not working.
- 1:07:33Speaker 17: You know, there's the the Old show sixty four million
- 1:07:37Speaker 17: dollar question. Yeah, the Dems is so afraid of Republicans,
- 1:07:40Speaker 17: Todd and I look at the exit polls. I look
- 1:07:43Speaker 17: what people are writing and what have you. And even
- 1:07:46Speaker 17: when we try to recall Governor Newsham and we had
- 1:07:48Speaker 17: the voting at that time, people coming out when they
- 1:07:51Speaker 17: were being interviewed, they would saying, look, i know he's
- 1:07:53Speaker 17: not the best, but I'm really afraid of what the
- 1:07:55Speaker 17: Republicans will do to this state, which I found to
- 1:07:57Speaker 17: be an acidin comment overall. But when you you know,
- 1:08:00Speaker 17: you come back to your point with Los Angeles, I
- 1:08:04Speaker 17: don't know what it's going to take. They won't give
- 1:08:06Speaker 17: him the time on air. You know, it's very expensive
- 1:08:08Speaker 17: city to do airtime on and do the commercials on.
- 1:08:11Speaker 17: They have no problem running the negative ads that the
- 1:08:14Speaker 17: Dems are putting on against Pratt and Republicans as a whole.
- 1:08:17Speaker 17: Prats doing a great job of doing it online. But
- 1:08:21Speaker 17: you know, you look at the numbers here in California.
- 1:08:23Speaker 17: Young people don't vote here. As much as we want
- 1:08:26Speaker 17: to think we're hip and and we've got information and
- 1:08:28Speaker 17: we're well educated. We're not, but we think we are.
- 1:08:31Speaker 17: The young kids are not voting. So I don't know
- 1:08:34Speaker 17: how much of his ads online are going to really
- 1:08:38Speaker 17: carry him through.
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: All right, Well, we will see. It is a fascinating race, nevertheless,
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: and it's interesting that he's finally starting to do some
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: conservative TV and media and I can I will just
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: say this. We have been asking for interviews, I know,
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: on Newsmax for weeks now, and they were telling us
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: that he was not doing conservative media. So it's interesting
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: to see him on Fox yesterday making the rounds. I'm
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: not sure. I gotta tell you, I'm not sure that
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: actually helps him. To be honest with you, Joe.
- 1:09:10Speaker 17: I agree, I think that's what hurt Hilton. Yeah, I
- 1:09:13Speaker 17: mean I President Trump, I know you do too, But
- 1:09:16Speaker 17: I think it was just I would think it was
- 1:09:17Speaker 17: a strategic bad move to go ahead, and I would
- 1:09:21Speaker 17: rather Trump speak positively about Hilton and not necessarily give
- 1:09:25Speaker 17: him the endorsement or tout the endorsement.
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: Honestly, Honestly, I think Pratt's better off having all of
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: these liberal Hollywood celebs that are now announcing they're going
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: to vote for him. Let him be there. They need
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: to be the surrogates. They need to be out there
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: because those are the votes he needs.
- 1:09:40Speaker 13: Yeah, you're correct, all right.
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: Joe good well. Always appreciate the great advice, and I
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: will keep you posted on how the gravy competition goes.
- 1:09:49Speaker 13: Tomorrow.
- 1:09:50Speaker 17: Oh, I want to and listen, be careful with that stuff.
- 1:09:53Speaker 17: You know you're just coming out of this.
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: I know.
- 1:09:55Speaker 17: I want to make sure you know I would gain
- 1:09:57Speaker 17: twelve pounds at that one event. I mean, I don't
- 1:09:59Speaker 17: know anyway, Have a fun, God bless state, healthy.
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: All right, DoD blessed. Thanks a lot, Joe Messina, everybody
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: the Patriot, what needs to make your line? He's a
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: good man, all right? Nine oh one two six zero
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: five nine two six real quick, let's work in a
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: call Mike in Memphis on k WAM. Mike, what's on
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: your mind?
- 1:10:18Speaker 23: Hey, greetings, Todd, good to hear you. The Constitutional Republic
- 1:10:22Speaker 23: began actually in seventeen eighty nine.
- 1:10:24Speaker 11: I know that the two.
- 1:10:25Speaker 23: Hundred and fiftieth year goes back to the Declaration of Independence,
- 1:10:30Speaker 23: but a lot of people were referring to the establishment
- 1:10:33Speaker 23: of the country, which didn't actually occur until seventeen eighty nine,
- 1:10:38Speaker 23: and the original Constitution didn't get implemented until then. Of course,
- 1:10:43Speaker 23: then it was changed in eighteen seventy one when they
- 1:10:47Speaker 23: abandoned the Republic and it became a United States of
- 1:10:50Speaker 23: America corporation. So that was actually eighty two years that
- 1:10:53Speaker 23: we actually had a republic. And now if you just
- 1:10:56Speaker 23: go back to seventeen eighty nine, it's it's.
- 1:11:01Speaker 9: A different years.
- 1:11:02Speaker 23: And of course from seventeen ninety or eighteen ninety one,
- 1:11:04Speaker 23: it's one hundred and fifty five years. And most people
- 1:11:07Speaker 23: never actually have read or actually seen an original copy
- 1:11:10Speaker 23: of the Constitution for the United States, where they'll read
- 1:11:13Speaker 23: the work United is in lower case, meaning it's a verb,
- 1:11:18Speaker 23: as opposed to the Constitution of the United States, which
- 1:11:21Speaker 23: is in all capital letters. It's a corporate charter for corporation.
- 1:11:26Speaker 23: This is not taught in public school. It's taught in
- 1:11:29Speaker 23: many private schools, but it should be, you know, taught
- 1:11:33Speaker 23: for everyone to realize that we're basically under occupation by
- 1:11:37Speaker 23: Great Britain from that charter, which is registered and done
- 1:11:42Speaker 23: in Bradstreet, and even your title of nobility section was
- 1:11:45Speaker 23: removed in the original thirteenth Amendment and reports.
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: So what's the point here, Let's get to the bottom
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: line here. What's the point.
- 1:11:53Speaker 23: Well, the celebration is a fraud. There's no country been
- 1:11:56Speaker 23: around for two hundred and fifty years.
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: So what are you going to be doing on July fourth,
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: Mike Cuttings, of course, Well, I'll tell you what, Mike. Uh,

- 1:16:34Speaker 2: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: By the way. This segment of the program brought to
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: you by our friends at Newsmas TV. A new study
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: is showing that seventy percent of Americans are not getting
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: the full benefits they deserve. But a social security expert,
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: Michael Allen, says, there are five key strategies to increase
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: your benefits, and Newsmax wants to send you his report
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: free of charge. You can call them at one eight
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: hundred nine ninety six ninety. That's eight hundred ninety six ninety.
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: Your benefits could increase by as much as one hundred
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: and eighty eight thousand dollars over a lifetime. Again that
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: number eight hundred nine ninety six ninety text and data
- 1:17:18Speaker 2: rates may apply. You know, one of the things that
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: we've been covering for a very long time now on
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: this program is what happened on October the seventh, that
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: terrible day when the Jie Hottest waged a terrorist attack
- 1:17:36Speaker 2: on innocent people in Israel. And you know, a lot
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: of people lose sight. And I know there's been a
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: lot of hullabaloo within the conservative social media influencer world,
- 1:17:48Speaker 2: but the reality is that all of this started at
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: a concert, a music festival with young people who were
- 1:17:56Speaker 2: in the prime of their lives so much ahead of them.
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: One of those individuals who was there and survived. She
- 1:18:06Speaker 2: is now the public affairs officer for the Combat Anti
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: Semitism Movement. Natalie sen and Dodgy a survivor of the
- 1:18:14Speaker 2: Music Festival massacre, and she's been making the round so
- 1:18:18Speaker 2: many college university campuses and we're honored to have her
- 1:18:21Speaker 2: with us today on this program. Natalie, thank you so
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: much for us spending a few moments.
- 1:18:25Speaker 13: With us today.
- 1:18:27Speaker 18: Thank you for having me.
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: You know, I know that you're you're a native of
- 1:18:30Speaker 2: Long Island and you have Iranian and Israeli erers. I
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: don't want to talk about that in just a minute,
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: but you know, looking back on that moment, I can't
- 1:18:40Speaker 2: even imagine how you must feel watching people like the
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson's and the Megan Kelly's of the world coming
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: out and really I think disgracing you know, what actually
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: happened and misrepresenting what happened on that day.
- 1:18:55Speaker 18: It is.
- 1:18:55Speaker 5: It's very frustrating and it's hard not to get angry
- 1:18:59Speaker 5: at these people. And even in my day to day life,
- 1:19:02Speaker 5: I come across people who tell me that they never
- 1:19:05Speaker 5: heard of the Bebust family and the fact that a
- 1:19:09Speaker 5: mother and two babies were kidnapped into Gaza that day
- 1:19:12Speaker 5: and they came back in coffins. There's two who tell
- 1:19:15Speaker 5: me that they never heard of the Nova Festival. They
- 1:19:18Speaker 5: think that everything started on October eighth, and that Israel
- 1:19:21Speaker 5: started all of this and just indiscriminately went into Gaza
- 1:19:24Speaker 5: and started killing innocent pal sinning people. And I guess
- 1:19:30Speaker 5: part of what I considered my mission ever since October
- 1:19:33Speaker 5: seventh was to try to be a voice for those
- 1:19:36Speaker 5: who no longer.
- 1:19:36Speaker 18: Had a voice, to try to be a voice for
- 1:19:38Speaker 18: all those who.
- 1:19:39Speaker 5: Are not as fortunate as I was, who did not
- 1:19:41Speaker 5: survive the Nova Festival. And part of being their voice
- 1:19:45Speaker 5: is sharing their story and sharing the truth. So if
- 1:19:48Speaker 5: I just get angry and frustrated at these people, and
- 1:19:51Speaker 5: if I'm not open to having a discussion with them,
- 1:19:53Speaker 5: I'm never going to.
- 1:19:54Speaker 18: Be able to share that side of the story.
- 1:19:56Speaker 5: So it can be difficult sometimes to not get frustrated,
- 1:19:59Speaker 5: to not get angry, but I kind of have to
- 1:20:01Speaker 5: try to keep my cool as much as possible in
- 1:20:03Speaker 5: order to do what I consider my mission, which is
- 1:20:07Speaker 5: sharing the truth.
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: Natalie, You're so right. I mean, everybody picks up October eighth.
- 1:20:11Speaker 2: They don't want to talk about October the seventh. But
- 1:20:14Speaker 2: you were there, You were at this music festival. Can
- 1:20:17Speaker 2: you set the scene for us, what were you doing
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: and why were you there? And take us through what
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: happened well.
- 1:20:25Speaker 5: As the daughter of an Israeli mother, I've been going
- 1:20:27Speaker 5: to Israel almost every year my entire life. And I
- 1:20:31Speaker 5: went to Israel specifically that summer for a friend's wedding,
- 1:20:36Speaker 5: and then I extended for the holidays to be with
- 1:20:38Speaker 5: friends and family, and I bought a ticket to this
- 1:20:43Speaker 5: music festival.
- 1:20:44Speaker 18: In Israel, they call them nature parties. They're usually in the.
- 1:20:47Speaker 5: Woods or in the desert, and typically with parties like these,
- 1:20:52Speaker 5: you don't receive the location to the event until maybe
- 1:20:56Speaker 5: a few hours before the event starts.
- 1:20:58Speaker 18: And usually this is for security.
- 1:20:59Speaker 5: Reasons, make sure that anyone who was not approved to
- 1:21:02Speaker 5: buy a ticket for the event does not know where
- 1:21:05Speaker 5: it is. And that's another thing in Israel. For security reasons,
- 1:21:08Speaker 5: you can't always just buy a ticket to an event.
- 1:21:10Speaker 5: You have to get vetted out and you have to
- 1:21:13Speaker 5: send the event organizers your Instagram page, your government ID number,
- 1:21:20Speaker 5: so on and so forth, a photo of you to
- 1:21:21Speaker 5: make sure that you are who you say you are,
- 1:21:24Speaker 5: and a few hours before the event, we get the
- 1:21:27Speaker 5: location and we see that it's very close to Gaza.
- 1:21:30Speaker 18: And I was going with a few friends, all of
- 1:21:32Speaker 18: whom were Israeli. I was the only American in.
- 1:21:34Speaker 5: The group, and I always knew that people lived in
- 1:21:38Speaker 5: that area, but as someone who goes and visits Israel
- 1:21:41Speaker 5: and who doesn't live there.
- 1:21:43Speaker 18: I just happened to have never been that close to Gaza.
- 1:21:47Speaker 5: And I kind of looked to my Israeli friends and
- 1:21:49Speaker 5: I was like, do you guys think that we should
- 1:21:51Speaker 5: be nervous that the party is so close to the
- 1:21:53Speaker 5: Gaza border?
- 1:21:55Speaker 18: And they kind of scoffed at me, and they told me,
- 1:21:57Speaker 18: you know, Natalie, like where were you yesterday?
- 1:21:59Speaker 5: And I was like, oh, well, I was like hiking
- 1:22:01Speaker 5: in the north by some waterfalls, enjoying nature. And they
- 1:22:04Speaker 5: asked me, like, what were you on the border of
- 1:22:06Speaker 5: And I said, well, I was on the border of
- 1:22:07Speaker 5: Lebanon and they said exactly. You know, anywhere you go
- 1:22:11Speaker 5: in Israel, unless you're staying in Tel Aviv in the center,
- 1:22:14Speaker 5: the entire time, you're gonna be bordering with some neighbor
- 1:22:16Speaker 5: who maybe doesn't like us very much. And you know,
- 1:22:20Speaker 5: I realized they're right and that I shouldn't think too
- 1:22:24Speaker 5: much about the fact that it was on the board
- 1:22:26Speaker 5: of Gaza. And we went down to the party and
- 1:22:29Speaker 5: we danced for a few hours, and at around three am,
- 1:22:33Speaker 5: I would say, we decided to take a nap and
- 1:22:35Speaker 5: rest for a few hours, and our plan was to
- 1:22:38Speaker 5: wake up for the sunrise of the festival. And a
- 1:22:42Speaker 5: few hours passed by, and instead of waking up to
- 1:22:45Speaker 5: the sunrise music, at around six point thirty, we wake
- 1:22:48Speaker 5: up to the sound of rockets being intercepted over our heads.
- 1:22:52Speaker 18: And a lot of people.
- 1:22:53Speaker 5: Asked me why we didn't panic right away, why we
- 1:22:57Speaker 5: didn't start running as soon as we saw rockets, And
- 1:23:00Speaker 5: I had to explain to you know, American audiences and
- 1:23:03Speaker 5: international audiences, why for Israelis seeing those first few rockets
- 1:23:08Speaker 5: was not something to panic over, and why for Israelis
- 1:23:12Speaker 5: they didn't initially think that the party was going to end.
- 1:23:16Speaker 5: Because when you're living in Israel, if you stop everything
- 1:23:19Speaker 5: that you're doing every time a few rockets are intercepted
- 1:23:22Speaker 5: over your head, you'll never get anything done. And a
- 1:23:25Speaker 5: testament to that is the fact that I started working
- 1:23:27Speaker 5: for the Combid anti Semitism movement and a few wants
- 1:23:30Speaker 5: into the war, I went back to Israel to work
- 1:23:32Speaker 5: from our offices there, and I was answering emails and
- 1:23:36Speaker 5: then suddenly, as siren goes off, rockets are coming. We
- 1:23:39Speaker 5: go to the bomb shelter. We wait ten minutes, and
- 1:23:42Speaker 5: if there's no more sirens, you just go back to
- 1:23:44Speaker 5: your desk and you continue about your day as if
- 1:23:46Speaker 5: nothing happened.
- 1:23:47Speaker 18: So that was the same feeling. Initially at the party.
- 1:23:50Speaker 5: People thought that it would just be a few rockets,
- 1:23:52Speaker 5: it would stop, and the party would continue as if
- 1:23:54Speaker 5: nothing happened. Right away, you know, you start to realize
- 1:23:59Speaker 5: that the rockets aren't stopping and they're just continuing to come.
- 1:24:02Speaker 5: And I started counting them, and first it was five,
- 1:24:05Speaker 5: and then it was ten, and then it was fifteen,
- 1:24:07Speaker 5: and then twenty, and eventually the festival security shuts off
- 1:24:11Speaker 5: all the music, asks everyone to please evacuate the festival grounds,
- 1:24:15Speaker 5: and we head to our cars and we try to
- 1:24:17Speaker 5: start driving out, and we're in bumper.
- 1:24:18Speaker 18: To bumper traffic.
- 1:24:20Speaker 5: There was about, I would say a little over three
- 1:24:22Speaker 5: thousand people at this festival, and majority are all trying
- 1:24:25Speaker 5: to kind of leave at the same time. And a
- 1:24:28Speaker 5: few minutes into driving out is when we hear the
- 1:24:30Speaker 5: first gunshots. And when we first you know, heard the
- 1:24:33Speaker 5: first gunshots, we realized that the danger was much greater
- 1:24:37Speaker 5: than just rockets quote unquote, you know. It was terraced
- 1:24:41Speaker 5: on foot and they were armed, and they were nearby.
- 1:24:44Speaker 5: And at that point, so the festival security, right like
- 1:24:51Speaker 5: maybe a minute before we heard those first gunshots, they
- 1:24:54Speaker 5: started yelling at everyone to get out of their cars
- 1:24:56Speaker 5: and start running, and we listened to them.
- 1:25:00Speaker 18: We pull our cars over.
- 1:25:02Speaker 5: A few moments after we pull the car over, we
- 1:25:05Speaker 5: hear the first gun shots, we get out of our cars,
- 1:25:07Speaker 5: we start running, and we ran.
- 1:25:09Speaker 18: For about four hours on and off.
- 1:25:12Speaker 5: Anytime we didn't hear gunshots, we would kind of slow
- 1:25:15Speaker 5: down to catch our breath, if you could imagine, it
- 1:25:17Speaker 5: was like over one hundred degrees at that time in Israel.
- 1:25:20Speaker 18: Most of us didn't think.
- 1:25:21Speaker 5: To grab water before we left our cars, and we really,
- 1:25:27Speaker 5: you know, people were running in every direction, and we
- 1:25:29Speaker 5: constantly had to change directions because there were some moments
- 1:25:32Speaker 5: where we were running from.
- 1:25:33Speaker 18: The terrorists behind us.
- 1:25:34Speaker 5: They were shooting at us, and then suddenly we would
- 1:25:36Speaker 5: see other people from the festival running towards us, and
- 1:25:39Speaker 5: we would see them getting shot at and falling, and
- 1:25:42Speaker 5: we would realize that we're not only running from terrorists,
- 1:25:45Speaker 5: we're also suddenly running towards them. And then you suddenly
- 1:25:48Speaker 5: have to make a kind of split second decision whether
- 1:25:50Speaker 5: to turn left or turn or to turn right. And
- 1:25:54Speaker 5: those four hours were filled with a lot of split
- 1:25:56Speaker 5: second decisions of trying to figure out what the safest
- 1:25:59Speaker 5: option would be, but not really knowing what.
- 1:26:02Speaker 18: The safest option would be.
- 1:26:03Speaker 5: So it was just a lot of making kind of
- 1:26:07Speaker 5: what people call choiceless choices, voices where you really don't know.
- 1:26:11Speaker 2: Let me save your lives, let me jump in there,
- 1:26:13Speaker 2: because we do not have a lot of time, and
- 1:26:14Speaker 2: I have a lot of questions to ask, and we
- 1:26:16Speaker 2: have Natalie sent and Dodgy with us from Combat Anti
- 1:26:19Speaker 2: Semitism the website combat anti Semitism dot org. I'm so
- 1:26:25Speaker 2: happy to hear that you're you're out there, you're speaking,
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: doing events and really letting people know, Hey, this is
- 1:26:33Speaker 2: how this started, and this is this is why Israel
- 1:26:36Speaker 2: responded the way they didn't, and honestly they had to respond,
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: and that in that way.
- 1:26:44Speaker 5: I I really feel so fortunate that I got the
- 1:26:48Speaker 5: opportunity to start working with the combat Antisthmtism movement. I
- 1:26:51Speaker 5: started working for them about two months into the war.
- 1:26:54Speaker 5: And being able to work with them and meeting the
- 1:26:57Speaker 5: people that I've met along the way is what's really
- 1:27:00Speaker 5: giving me the opportunity to share this truth and to
- 1:27:02Speaker 5: try to share it on as many platforms as possible.
- 1:27:07Speaker 5: I started interviewing and trying to share about three days
- 1:27:12Speaker 5: after the attacks, and that's kind of how the combin
- 1:27:14Speaker 5: Anti Semitism movement found out about me, because they saw
- 1:27:17Speaker 5: my interviews. I was one of the first survivors who
- 1:27:19Speaker 5: came back to the US and started interviewing, and very
- 1:27:24Speaker 5: soon I started to also speak about Iran and what's
- 1:27:29Speaker 5: happening in Iran right now, ask someone as a Jew
- 1:27:31Speaker 5: of Iranian descent. It was also so important for me
- 1:27:34Speaker 5: to make the world realize that the Iranian people and
- 1:27:39Speaker 5: the Jewish people right now have one common enemy. You know,
- 1:27:43Speaker 5: the government in Iran, the ir GC Hamas is just
- 1:27:45Speaker 5: one of their proxies, and we have this common enemy.
- 1:27:49Speaker 5: And I felt like through showing people the commonality and
- 1:27:53Speaker 5: the unity between the Iranian people and the Jewish people
- 1:27:56Speaker 5: right now, maybe it would open people's eyes. Maybe it
- 1:27:59Speaker 5: would make people see who the real enemy is here,
- 1:28:02Speaker 5: who started this war? And that's really that's been my
- 1:28:06Speaker 5: goal for the past a little over two and a
- 1:28:08Speaker 5: half years.
- 1:28:09Speaker 2: Well, I think it is a noble goal and it's
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: something that needs to be shared. And I would say,
- 1:28:15Speaker 2: as an evangelical Christian, I think it's imperative for every
- 1:28:18Speaker 2: Christian a stand alongside, you know, our Jewish friends, because
- 1:28:23Speaker 2: we're all in this together. You know, the Islamist they
- 1:28:26Speaker 2: are targeting all of us, and we have to stand
- 1:28:29Speaker 2: together and we've got to fight back.
- 1:28:33Speaker 5: That's something I really hope that people realize before it's
- 1:28:36Speaker 5: too late. I feel that a lot of people don't
- 1:28:39Speaker 5: realize that this isn't going to end with the Jewish people.
- 1:28:45Speaker 5: It's only going to continue. It's only going to get worse.
- 1:28:47Speaker 5: And we're seeing currently right now, every day we're seeing
- 1:28:52Speaker 5: globalized into Fada become a reality. It's not just a
- 1:28:55Speaker 5: chance anymore that people are chanting the streets. We're seeing
- 1:28:58Speaker 5: attacks get greater and greater by the day, and it's
- 1:29:03Speaker 5: not just targeting Jewish communities anymore. And I think only now, unfortunately,
- 1:29:07Speaker 5: people have to be attacked for the world to realize
- 1:29:10Speaker 5: that this wasn't just about the Jewish people. That globalized
- 1:29:14Speaker 5: and FATA affects all of us. And I think it
- 1:29:17Speaker 5: is very unfortunate that people have to get hurt in
- 1:29:20Speaker 5: order for the world to wake up.
- 1:29:23Speaker 18: But I do hope that the rest of the world
- 1:29:25Speaker 18: waste out effort.
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: It's too late, Natalie, We're going to have to leave
- 1:29:28Speaker 2: it there, and so glad, thank God that you were
- 1:29:30Speaker 2: able to escape those those evil monsters, and we certainly
- 1:29:34Speaker 2: wish you nothing but the best on your journey as
- 1:29:38Speaker 2: you share and tell that story and ultimately do the
- 1:29:41Speaker 2: mission of the organization you represent combat anti Semitism. That's
- 1:29:46Speaker 2: what it's all about.
- 1:29:47Speaker 13: Natalie.
- 1:29:47Speaker 2: Again, thank you for thank you for joining us. All right,
- 1:29:50Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
- 1:29:53Speaker 2: our telephone number, that's nine oh one two six zero
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: five nine two six. You see the Islamist marching in
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: this streets of New York City and a lot of
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: other major American cities and folks, they are sending a message.
- 1:30:07Speaker 2: Just the other day, I don't if you saw this
- 1:30:08Speaker 2: video on social media. There was a guy, a pastor
- 1:30:13Speaker 2: in some small community and one of the Islamists showed
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: up in front of the guy's church and rolled out
- 1:30:19Speaker 2: a prayer. Matt and pastor said, no, you're not going
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: to be doing that here. Well, this is what we
- 1:30:25Speaker 2: are dealing with, ladies and gentlemen. The Islamist are here,
- 1:30:28Speaker 2: and they are here to take over and conquer America.
- 1:30:31Speaker 2: And when they do, they'll be coming after the Jews.
- 1:30:34Speaker 2: They'll be coming after the Christians. All of you gay
- 1:30:37Speaker 2: folks out there, they're going to be coming after you.
- 1:30:39Speaker 2: So we can either we can either live in our
- 1:30:41Speaker 2: own little cocooned worlds, or we can stand together and fight.
- 1:30:46Speaker 2: I would recommend that we stand together and fight. Got
- 1:30:48Speaker 2: to take a break. We'll be right back, all right.
- 1:31:02Speaker 2: This story out of Nantucket. I don't know what's in
- 1:31:07Speaker 2: the water up there. So there is a preachurette. You know,
- 1:31:10Speaker 2: a lot of churches have the female preachers. We don't
- 1:31:14Speaker 2: do that in the Baptist faith tradition. Anyway. There is
- 1:31:17Speaker 2: a prechaurette by the name of Aaron Splain, and she
- 1:31:21Speaker 2: is the reverend of the Woke Unitarian Universalist Church in Nantucket.
- 1:31:29Speaker 2: And Preacherette Splain said that she has just canceled the
- 1:31:34Speaker 2: July fourth celebrations because white people are privileged and honoring
- 1:31:40Speaker 2: American history perpetuates the harm injustice and anti democratic process.
- 1:31:46Speaker 2: She's also forbidding anyone from contacting her on social media
- 1:31:50Speaker 2: about her decision. You just can't make this up, ladies,
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: And you just can't.
- 1:31:57Speaker 13: Make this up.
- 1:31:58Speaker 2: So anyway, Preacher at very upset, and she wrote to
- 1:32:04Speaker 2: the editors of the I Guess, the local newspaper, and
- 1:32:08Speaker 2: she said, canceling the fourth of July celebration this year
- 1:32:12Speaker 2: reflects the deep concern we are feelings since the Supreme
- 1:32:15Speaker 2: Court decision. By the way, this is the one that
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: did away with those unconstitutional race based districts. She says
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: that she wants the congregation to better understand our own
- 1:32:27Speaker 2: whiteness and how we can be a part of changing
- 1:32:29Speaker 2: an inherently unfair system which has been in place for
- 1:32:32Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty years. We are working as a
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: congregation and as members of this community to expand our knowledge.
- 1:32:40Speaker 2: Oh she's oh, I see Preacher at Splain is splaining
- 1:32:45Speaker 2: it to us. And the time between now and July fourth,
- 1:32:52Speaker 2: Reverend Splain is available for conversation by appointment only. Neither
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: she nor anyone from the congregation will respond to any
- 1:33:00Speaker 2: one who attempts to engage on any social media platform.
- 1:33:04Speaker 2: Social media is not the place for important, tender conversations. Interesting,
- 1:33:13Speaker 2: Well there you go, Aaron splain, Wait a second, is
- 1:33:19Speaker 2: she she? I? Well, they're calling her a she, but
- 1:33:23Speaker 2: I don't know. It kind of looks I don't know.
- 1:33:25Speaker 2: The preacherrette looks like a you know, a mister. I
- 1:33:29Speaker 2: don't know, so if so, for the sake, I just
- 1:33:32Speaker 2: want to make sure I don't get the hate mail.
- 1:33:35Speaker 2: We don't know the pronouns of this individual, all right,
- 1:33:39Speaker 2: So we'll just leave that there and our apologies if
- 1:33:42Speaker 2: we have misgendered the preacher atte unbelievable nine oh one
- 1:33:47Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six. You know Rutland, Massachusetts,
- 1:33:52Speaker 2: they actually canceled their Fourth of July celebration. You know
- 1:33:55Speaker 2: why because they used all the money to house illegal aliens.
- 1:34:00Speaker 2: They don't have enough cash to pay the cops to
- 1:34:03Speaker 2: do the Fourth of July celebration. Unbelievable, all right, nine
- 1:34:06Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. This
- 1:34:09Speaker 2: is the Todd Sterns Show. All right, welcome back to everybody.
- 1:34:35Speaker 2: Good to hand you with us. So yesterday on our
- 1:34:38Speaker 2: NEWSMAC show. Michael Wantley, the Senate candidate for the Republicans
- 1:34:43Speaker 2: in North Carolina, joining us for a conversation. Let's take
- 1:34:47Speaker 2: a listen in, Michael. Good to have you with us.
- 1:34:50Speaker 2: So we're going to talk about campaign stuff in just
- 1:34:52Speaker 2: a moment. But you know, I think all of this
- 1:34:54Speaker 2: goes back to the fact that the Democrat Party lied
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: to the American people and the legacy media actually provided
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: a cover when it comes to the former president's health.
- 1:35:03Speaker 2: What say you, I completely agree.
- 1:35:05Speaker 25: The fact is that all of America could see that
- 1:35:08Speaker 25: Joe Biden was not mentally fit to be president of
- 1:35:11Speaker 25: the United States for the next four years, that he
- 1:35:14Speaker 25: was not mentally fit to serve as president during the
- 1:35:16Speaker 25: time that he was in the office. And when President
- 1:35:20Speaker 25: Trump tried to call that out and we had conversations
- 1:35:22Speaker 25: about that across the country, you know, we were scorned,
- 1:35:25Speaker 25: we were laughed at. But the fact is they ran
- 1:35:28Speaker 25: him from the basement and he was not fit to
- 1:35:31Speaker 25: be the president of the United States. Everybody knew it,
- 1:35:34Speaker 25: and it just took him being on a debate stage.
- 1:35:36Speaker 25: But you know, this is what the Democrats do. We're
- 1:35:39Speaker 25: dealing with that in North Carolina right now, we've got,
- 1:35:42Speaker 25: you know, a candidate for my opponent who's absolutely running
- 1:35:46Speaker 25: from the basement, who is who is old, and you
- 1:35:49Speaker 25: know that that he's not as fit as he used
- 1:35:52Speaker 25: to be. And so you know, we are running through
- 1:35:55Speaker 25: those same parallels here right now, running from the basement,
- 1:35:59Speaker 25: and you've got get out. You've got to show that
- 1:36:01Speaker 25: you can go across the state in North Carolina. You
- 1:36:03Speaker 25: got a show that you can go across the country
- 1:36:05Speaker 25: when you're running for president, and Joe Biden was absolutely
- 1:36:08Speaker 25: uncapable of doing that.
- 1:36:10Speaker 2: Michael, within the past hour, your campaign Sonata news release,
- 1:36:13Speaker 2: I got a copy of that accusing Roy Cooper, your opponent,
- 1:36:17Speaker 2: of releasing a violent murderer from prison early instead of
- 1:36:21Speaker 2: serving his full sentence. I think what shocking here is
- 1:36:24Speaker 2: that man actually killed a sixteen month old child. What
- 1:36:28Speaker 2: concerns you about the former governor's decision.
- 1:36:32Speaker 25: Well, the fact is the governor released over forty two
- 1:36:36Speaker 25: hundred criminals from prison because he was worried about them
- 1:36:39Speaker 25: getting COVID and he said that there were no violent
- 1:36:43Speaker 25: criminals on that list. He clearly lied. He put people
- 1:36:46Speaker 25: back on the streets that should not have been on
- 1:36:48Speaker 25: the streets. You know this particular instance, which was in
- 1:36:51Speaker 25: Hickory of North Carolina. You know, the guy went out
- 1:36:55Speaker 25: and he was dealing with fentanyl and so he actually accidentally,
- 1:37:00Speaker 25: I guess, got fetanol on his baby's bottle and killed
- 1:37:02Speaker 25: a sixteen month baby. I mean, it's just absolutely tragic
- 1:37:07Speaker 25: when you think about it. The most famous guy on
- 1:37:09Speaker 25: that list de Carlos Brown Junior, who famously was arrested
- 1:37:13Speaker 25: thirteen more times, released thirteen more times before he got
- 1:37:16Speaker 25: on a light railcar in Charlotte last year and brutally
- 1:37:19Speaker 25: murdered Irena Zaroska in cold blood. The fact is there
- 1:37:22Speaker 25: were eighteen other people that Roy Cooper released that ended
- 1:37:27Speaker 25: up killing people after he released them because he was
- 1:37:30Speaker 25: worried that they were going to have COVID when they
- 1:37:33Speaker 25: were in jail.
- 1:37:34Speaker 2: Now, I want to ask you a question about what's
- 1:37:36Speaker 2: happening right now in the Senate, where there's a lot
- 1:37:39Speaker 2: of controversy surrounding the majority leader, John Thune. And I
- 1:37:43Speaker 2: hear a lot from many of your constituents on my
- 1:37:46Speaker 2: national radio show is broadcast all across North Carolina, and
- 1:37:51Speaker 2: they are really upset over his obstruction on the Save
- 1:37:54Speaker 2: America to Act and also his decision not to allow
- 1:37:57Speaker 2: President Trump to make any recess appointments. I'm wondering if
- 1:38:00Speaker 2: you share their discust with what's happening and will you
- 1:38:04Speaker 2: advance the President's agenda if you get elected.
- 1:38:07Speaker 25: Well, I will absolutely advance the President's agenda. I think
- 1:38:10Speaker 25: it's absolutely critical for North Carolina to have a conservative
- 1:38:13Speaker 25: champion and President Trump to have a an ally in
- 1:38:17Speaker 25: the United States Senate. That's why we're running. We want
- 1:38:20Speaker 25: to fight for every family, We want to fight for
- 1:38:22Speaker 25: every community. We want to fight for common sense policies
- 1:38:25Speaker 25: like the President's America First agenda. You know, we need
- 1:38:28Speaker 25: to make sure that we rebuild our economy. We need
- 1:38:30Speaker 25: to make sure that we keep the borders secure, that
- 1:38:33Speaker 25: we're keeping our communities safe, and that our men and
- 1:38:36Speaker 25: women in uniform have what they need to carry out
- 1:38:38Speaker 25: their mission around the world to protect our interests in
- 1:38:41Speaker 25: our allies. That's what I'm going to be fighting for
- 1:38:43Speaker 25: every single day.
- 1:38:45Speaker 2: Again, do you share their discuss though, with what the
- 1:38:48Speaker 2: Majority leader has not been doing, which is getting the
- 1:38:50Speaker 2: President's agenda through the Senate.
- 1:38:53Speaker 25: Look, the Senate needs to work, the House needs to
- 1:38:55Speaker 25: work with them. We need to make sure that we
- 1:38:57Speaker 25: get the America First Agenda done. We need to make
- 1:38:59Speaker 25: sure that we are getting this common sense agenda done
- 1:39:02Speaker 25: of strengthening our economy, securing the border, and making sure
- 1:39:06Speaker 25: that our military has the resources they need to carry
- 1:39:09Speaker 25: out their mission.
- 1:39:10Speaker 2: Okay, that was Michael Wattley, who is running for the
- 1:39:13Speaker 2: Senate in North Carolina. And I just I wanted you
- 1:39:16Speaker 2: to hear that conversation. Really because of the last two questions,
- 1:39:19Speaker 2: and I'm asking every single Republican running for the Senate
- 1:39:22Speaker 2: the exact same question. Will you will you support John
- 1:39:27Speaker 2: Thuhn or do you believe that he has that he
- 1:39:31Speaker 2: is disrespected President Trump and he no longer deserves to
- 1:39:35Speaker 2: be the Majority leader because right now nobody is. Actually
- 1:39:39Speaker 2: if if you step back for a moment and listen
- 1:39:41Speaker 2: to what listen to what Mike Lee and Ted Cruz
- 1:39:44Speaker 2: and a lot of the other Senators are saying on
- 1:39:45Speaker 2: Capitol Hill, they're not condemning John thun at all. They're
- 1:39:49Speaker 2: not condemning the Majority leader. And they refuse to do that.
- 1:39:54Speaker 2: And you just heard Michael Wattley who's running for the Senate,
- 1:39:58Speaker 2: and Michael Wattley, who is running for the Senate, refuses
- 1:40:01Speaker 2: to say whether or not he would support John Thune
- 1:40:05Speaker 2: as a majority leader, whether or not he would support
- 1:40:09Speaker 2: pushing through nuking the Fillibuster and moving through the Save
- 1:40:13Speaker 2: America Act, and that, ladies and gentlemen, is very disappointing,
- 1:40:17Speaker 2: and you're gonna have to come to terms with that.
- 1:40:19Speaker 2: If Wattley's out there campaigning for your votes, then he
- 1:40:24Speaker 2: needs to be able to answer those questions. All right,
- 1:40:26Speaker 2: We're going to take a quick break. When we come back,
- 1:40:28Speaker 2: Mark Lynch is going to join us. He is running
- 1:40:31Speaker 2: for the US Senate. He is going to primary Lindsey Graham,
- 1:40:36Speaker 2: and that is a huge race in South Carolina. Nine
- 1:40:39Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six are
- 1:40:42Speaker 2: telephone number, that's nine oh one two six zero five
- 1:40:45Speaker 2: nine two six. You know what, tell do we have?
- 1:40:47Speaker 2: We have mister Lynch with us. You know what, Let's
- 1:40:49Speaker 2: just go right to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line and
- 1:40:52Speaker 2: mister Lynch, good to have you back on the program
- 1:40:55Speaker 2: with us. And I know in South Carolina there's been
- 1:40:58Speaker 2: a lot of fury directed at State House Republicans because
- 1:41:02Speaker 2: they had a chance to read district and they took
- 1:41:04Speaker 2: a pass. First of all, I'm wondering your take on
- 1:41:07Speaker 2: what happened in the state House the other day.
- 1:41:11Speaker 13: It's just the same thing.
- 1:41:13Speaker 26: We have Republicans that are feckless cowards Todd that won't
- 1:41:17Speaker 26: pull the trigger. They're too worried about their next campaign
- 1:41:21Speaker 26: and how people will receive their decisions instead of just
- 1:41:24Speaker 26: doing what's right.
- 1:41:26Speaker 13: It's a shame, you know.
- 1:41:27Speaker 2: I look at Lindsay Graham and I just you can't
- 1:41:30Speaker 2: trust the guy. I mean, his opinions changed on a
- 1:41:32Speaker 2: daily basis. Lindsey Graham has been one of the chief
- 1:41:36Speaker 2: architects of obstructing the president's agenda in the Senate, and
- 1:41:40Speaker 2: I'm wondering if that message is finally connecting to voters
- 1:41:44Speaker 2: there in South Carolina, to.
- 1:41:48Speaker 26: The ones that are awake, that are paying attention, that
- 1:41:51Speaker 26: are true patriots. But we have still an establishment group
- 1:41:55Speaker 26: of people in South Carolina that claim to be Republicans
- 1:41:59Speaker 26: that are okay of Lindsay's Obama and Biden judge picks
- 1:42:04Speaker 26: you know that he's doing. And they're okay with his
- 1:42:07Speaker 26: voting record of forty three percent lifetime conservative voting record
- 1:42:11Speaker 26: that's failing. They're okay with his fifty seven percent constitutional
- 1:42:16Speaker 26: voting record failing. They're okay with our tax dollars going
- 1:42:20Speaker 26: to fund al Qaeda and Hamas through USAID for several
- 1:42:24Speaker 26: years till Trump shut it down last year, thank goodness.
- 1:42:28Speaker 13: And so I don't understand it.
- 1:42:30Speaker 26: I asked these people, if you say you are a Republican,
- 1:42:34Speaker 26: just like I asked Russell Fry last night at an
- 1:42:38Speaker 26: event here at Myrtle Beach where we are. I said, Russell,
- 1:42:43Speaker 26: your endorsement of Lindsey Graham is shameful and embarrassing because that's.
- 1:42:47Speaker 13: Not who you are.
- 1:42:48Speaker 26: You have a ninety five percent voting record. I'm so
- 1:42:52Speaker 26: proud of you. You stand up and you're doing the
- 1:42:54Speaker 26: right thing, But you endorse Lindsey Graham, a trader.
- 1:43:00Speaker 13: I mean, what are you doing? Who are you? Why
- 1:43:02Speaker 13: did you endorse Lindsey?
- 1:43:04Speaker 26: And he didn't really have an answer, and he looked embarrassed,
- 1:43:07Speaker 26: and he said, you know, I'm trying to support Trump
- 1:43:10Speaker 26: and Trump Trump's working.
- 1:43:11Speaker 13: With Lindsay right now. Lindsay seems to be doing the
- 1:43:14Speaker 13: right thing.
- 1:43:15Speaker 26: But I said, that's just because this campaign sees in
- 1:43:18Speaker 26: its election period. Again, we're less than ten days away
- 1:43:22Speaker 26: from a primary. That's why he's acting like a conservative again.
- 1:43:27Speaker 2: Mark, you haven't heard Razy, you haven't heard Lindsey Graham
- 1:43:31Speaker 2: say anything negative about John Thune and John thuon the
- 1:43:33Speaker 2: Majority leader is literally obstructing the President's agenda, not just
- 1:43:37Speaker 2: on the Save America Act, not just on the refusal
- 1:43:40Speaker 2: to knot the filibuster, but they're not even allowing the
- 1:43:42Speaker 2: Senate to go into recess so the President can make
- 1:43:46Speaker 2: recess appointments. What do you make of that?
- 1:43:50Speaker 13: What I make of it is that tells us who
- 1:43:52Speaker 13: Lindsey is.
- 1:43:53Speaker 26: He's okay with people doing the same thing he's doing,
- 1:43:56Speaker 26: voting like a Democrat and not attacking John Thune for
- 1:44:01Speaker 26: blocking Trump's agenda. If I'm in the US Senate, We'll
- 1:44:04Speaker 26: make a motion to vacate John Thune and get rid
- 1:44:07Speaker 26: of him and nuke the filibuster and get rid of that.
- 1:44:10Speaker 13: And you know, don't allow these Democrats to continue.
- 1:44:13Speaker 26: To find a way to palls and hold up stuff
- 1:44:16Speaker 26: and push aside these bills we need to work on
- 1:44:18Speaker 26: and pass and keep America moving forward, and just putting
- 1:44:22Speaker 26: the bills into subcommittees to die and be stagnated and
- 1:44:27Speaker 26: sit there forever and never come back out again. It's
- 1:44:30Speaker 26: crushing America. Allowing this to go on, and I won't
- 1:44:34Speaker 26: stand for it.
- 1:44:35Speaker 2: Mark, do you realize something, something rather historic, has just
- 1:44:38Speaker 2: happened here on this program. For weeks now, we've had
- 1:44:42Speaker 2: Senate candidates coming on, many of them or pretty much
- 1:44:45Speaker 2: all of them, are Republican candidates. Not a one was
- 1:44:49Speaker 2: willing to say what you just said. And I think
- 1:44:53Speaker 2: that is ultimately the problem with the Republican Party.
- 1:44:55Speaker 3: We've got.
- 1:44:56Speaker 2: We've got really feckless Republicans. As you said, I think
- 1:44:59Speaker 2: we've got a lot of Republicans in name only that
- 1:45:02Speaker 2: are running out there.
- 1:45:04Speaker 26: That's right, and I want to use a stronger word,
- 1:45:08Speaker 26: and the word is trader. We have people that are
- 1:45:11Speaker 26: not adhering to their oath as they held their hand
- 1:45:15Speaker 26: on a Bible and swore an oath to defend the
- 1:45:17Speaker 26: United States Constitution. And if they can't do that and
- 1:45:21Speaker 26: they're supporting everything that's against America, then I asked the
- 1:45:25Speaker 26: voters out there, who are these people? Who are these
- 1:45:29Speaker 26: senators and House representatives in Congress and in our state
- 1:45:33Speaker 26: at the state level that will not do the right thing?
- 1:45:37Speaker 26: How long are we going to put up with that
- 1:45:38Speaker 26: and keep allowing these elected officials, the employees of the
- 1:45:42Speaker 26: people that are not representing America first principles. Come on,
- 1:45:47Speaker 26: this is the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of this country.
- 1:45:52Speaker 26: Let's get rid of these traders and get the right
- 1:45:55Speaker 26: people in.
- 1:45:56Speaker 2: By the way, folks, we have Mark Lyncha joining us
- 1:45:59Speaker 2: running for the USNA. He has primaried Senator Lindsay Graham.
- 1:46:03Speaker 2: You now have an opportunity, the good people of South Carolina.
- 1:46:06Speaker 2: You have an opportunity to send a rock solid America
- 1:46:10Speaker 2: First conservative to Capitol Hill and send Lindsey Graham panking.
- 1:46:14Speaker 2: You know, Mark, you mentioned the just the Rhinos. We
- 1:46:19Speaker 2: had a story earlier that we talked about Martina McBride
- 1:46:22Speaker 2: and a number of these musicians that are canceling performances
- 1:46:26Speaker 2: as a part of the Great American State Fair. They're
- 1:46:29Speaker 2: in the nation's capital. I don't know about you. I'm
- 1:46:32Speaker 2: just you know, I'm tired of people that just thumb
- 1:46:36Speaker 2: their nose of their country. I see people like Martina McBride.
- 1:46:40Speaker 2: First of all, yes, it's cowardice, I get that, But
- 1:46:43Speaker 2: I think the worst part is that she's not a patriot,
- 1:46:46Speaker 2: and that bothers me.
- 1:46:49Speaker 26: Yes, I agree with you, Todd. I mean, these people
- 1:46:52Speaker 26: are showing their true colors.
- 1:46:56Speaker 2: All right, Mark, we're gonna have to leave it there.
- 1:46:58Speaker 2: We certainly appreciate, we apologize we had some tech issues,
- 1:47:01Speaker 2: but we're gonna get you back on between now and
- 1:47:03Speaker 2: the primary. Folks, you have got a choice, and this
- 1:47:06Speaker 2: is a good choice. Mark Lynch a good man, and Mark,
- 1:47:09Speaker 2: we wish you nothing but the very best out there
- 1:47:11Speaker 2: on the campaign trail.
- 1:47:14Speaker 13: Thank you, Todd. I appreciate it.
- 1:47:16Speaker 26: I'm praying for America to have the scales removed from
- 1:47:19Speaker 26: their eyes, that we can get back and serve this
- 1:47:22Speaker 26: country the way God intended it to be and bring
- 1:47:25Speaker 26: God back first again.
- 1:47:26Speaker 2: Amen to that. All right, Mark Lynch, everybody running for
- 1:47:29Speaker 2: the US Senate there in South Carolina. He has primaried
- 1:47:33Speaker 2: Lindsey Graham. Your reaction to that, and thank God, finally,
- 1:47:37Speaker 2: finally a candidate with the courage to stand up and
- 1:47:41Speaker 2: say John Thune's out of there. If I had elected
- 1:47:44Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 1:47:47Speaker 2: This is the ton Stern Show. All right, Welcome back
- 1:47:57Speaker 2: to everybody. This is the ton Stone Barns Radio Show.
- 1:48:01Speaker 2: What a true honor to be with you today and
- 1:48:04Speaker 2: great to have you with us on this Friday edition
- 1:48:07Speaker 2: of the program. By the way, Jon't forget tonight, five
- 1:48:10Speaker 2: o'clock Eastern, we're going to be talking to the president
- 1:48:12Speaker 2: of Catholic Vote. There has been a big controversy involving
- 1:48:16Speaker 2: the Washington Nationals and of one of their players who
- 1:48:21Speaker 2: is a devout Christian, and apparently management pretty much sidelined
- 1:48:26Speaker 2: the guy because of his religious beliefs. So the good
- 1:48:29Speaker 2: people over at Catholic Vote have come out in support
- 1:48:32Speaker 2: of this athlete. We're going to be talking to them. Also,
- 1:48:35Speaker 2: Steve Gill is joining us, and Wendy Patrick is going
- 1:48:39Speaker 2: to be here as well. Edie Hill is going to
- 1:48:43Speaker 2: weigh in on the news of the day. So we're
- 1:48:44Speaker 2: going to have a jam packed edition of the show
- 1:48:48Speaker 2: tonight on Newsmax. All right, let's go right to the
- 1:48:51Speaker 2: phone lines here. Nine oh one two six zero five
- 1:48:54Speaker 2: nine two six Louise in Georgia, Louise, what's going on?
- 1:49:00Speaker 27: Well, I'm poor and broken.
- 1:49:02Speaker 2: You're probably rich, Hayes, I'm doing better than I deserve.
- 1:49:08Speaker 27: Well, I'm still breeding, So I guess that's a good time.
- 1:49:11Speaker 2: It's a good day, then, absolutely, Louise, it is.
- 1:49:14Speaker 14: Oh.
- 1:49:14Speaker 27: I won't hind you, but I remember back in twenty twenty.
- 1:49:18Speaker 27: I don't remember whether it's two weeks or two months
- 1:49:20Speaker 27: or when I called, and you know we're talking about
- 1:49:24Speaker 27: twenty twenty then, such a crooked election, and at that
- 1:49:28Speaker 27: time you said, well, you know, we can't dwell on that.
- 1:49:31Speaker 27: We've got to push past it. But my whole point then,
- 1:49:35Speaker 27: I think we all know now that it was crooked,
- 1:49:39Speaker 27: especially all this other crap coming out. But what worries
- 1:49:42Speaker 27: me mag of people need to understand that the presidential election,
- 1:49:47Speaker 27: it's not the only one that was crooked. Is anybody
- 1:49:50Speaker 27: thinking somebody in their right mind will put Maxine Waters,
- 1:49:54Speaker 27: Al Green, Adam whatever. I don't have a good name,
- 1:50:00Speaker 27: hand shifty.
- 1:50:01Speaker 2: Shift, pencil deck shift is what we call him.
- 1:50:03Speaker 7: No, I've got a better n I bet you do.
- 1:50:06Speaker 2: I understand.
- 1:50:08Speaker 27: I just want people to understand these midterms coming up
- 1:50:14Speaker 27: will be just this crooked. The Democrats will be just
- 1:50:16Speaker 27: this crooked. And if Karen Vass willians, we don't know
- 1:50:20Speaker 27: what was chripted. And that's all I want to put
- 1:50:23Speaker 27: out there. So people, we've got to get out and
- 1:50:26Speaker 27: vote on these mid terms when they come our way.
- 1:50:30Speaker 2: Louise, So, Louise, I think you know, here's what I
- 1:50:33Speaker 2: want you to do. You're going to you're gonna be
- 1:50:35Speaker 2: calling him between now an election day, but but on
- 1:50:38Speaker 2: election day, I want you to call in on our
- 1:50:40Speaker 2: election day show and remind people and tell people what
- 1:50:44Speaker 2: you just said, because it is so vitally important, Louise.
- 1:50:48Speaker 2: And you're right, we've got to get out and vote.
- 1:50:50Speaker 2: And that's the big problem here. Yes, the other side
- 1:50:53Speaker 2: is cheating. The way they're able to cheat is that
- 1:50:56Speaker 2: conservatives and especially all of you church going Christians, you've
- 1:51:00Speaker 2: folks are lazy, lazy butts. You gotta get off your
- 1:51:04Speaker 2: blessed assurance and you gotta go and vote. I mean
- 1:51:06Speaker 2: it's really that simple, right, Louise, that's.
- 1:51:09Speaker 27: Right number one than gun totin. I'm gonna be like JD.
- 1:51:13Speaker 27: Vance's grandma.
- 1:51:14Speaker 2: Oh come on now, all right, Louise thing. I think
- 1:51:20Speaker 2: it's a great thing, Louise, I sure do.
- 1:51:23Speaker 27: But we don't need to wait till the day that
- 1:51:25Speaker 27: day to remind them. We need to be reminding them
- 1:51:28Speaker 27: every day. Yes from Natural Vance.
- 1:51:31Speaker 2: Yes, Louise, you you speak the truth and and it
- 1:51:35Speaker 2: is a great message. Look, we got to let you
- 1:51:37Speaker 2: go because we're about to ramp the show. But Louise,
- 1:51:39Speaker 2: thank you for that. And and what a great word.
- 1:51:42Speaker 2: By the way, on the guns, that's one of the
- 1:51:44Speaker 2: reasons why the Chinese and the Russians have never tried
- 1:51:46Speaker 2: to invade us. We've got too many pistol packing grandma's.
- 1:51:51Speaker 2: And then in the other hand they got the cast
- 1:51:52Speaker 2: iron skillets. So Russians they know what's up. They know
- 1:52:00Speaker 2: all right, it's been a great show, folks. Hey Todd
