  Speaker 2: Tom Starnge Radio show on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker Hotlines.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: There's a lot to talk about with you, because you
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: guys in Congress had a really busy week or so
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: in the past couple of weeks. Finally, after seventy five days,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: we're able to reopen up Department of Homeland Security. You
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: guys have done a FISA extension, you passed a five
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: year farm bill out of the house.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: It's like you guys came right of right out of
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: the Eastern holiday and hit the ground running this past week.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Yes week, Yeah, last week really was productive in terms
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: of getting some things moving forward. And all those things
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: you mentioned are so important as we look forward, and
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: I can talk specifics about each one as we go
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: through that. You know, you're looking at the Farm bill.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: We're wanting to move that forward. There is a lot
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: of stuff that we did in the big beautiful bill
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: last year that helped farmers, but you know, right now
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: we're really wanting to look at things. You know, the
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: farming communities is struggling right now with some of the
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: input costs and low grain prices, so you're trying to
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: look at things like how do we update reference prices
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: and make sure that if you self corn or wheat
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: or grain sorgum, you can make money off of that.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Make sure that the cross insurance programs out there protected,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: making sure that we're getting our exports out and we're
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: supporting farmers to actually make sure that we can continue
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: to see the world. And we want to make sure
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: that we give some of the certainty to folks all
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: across the farm country, whether you're in Kansas growing wheat
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: and corn, or maybe even in California or or elsewhere
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: throughout the country.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, amen to that. It's been desperately needed. I want
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: to say the last farm bill that was passed, I
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: want twenty eighteen, was that, right, And I know we
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: did kind of an extension of it. Then we did
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: a little mini farm bill that was in the One
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Big Beautiful Bill last year. So the fact that it's
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: been that long since we've actually updated the agricultural sector
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: in this country, and we tried to kind of sort
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: of do it last year with the One Big Beautiful Bill.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: This was a long time in coming and desperately needed,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: wasn't it.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: It really is.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: And as you said, we've been doing some extensions through that.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: But and that's okay. It keeps from falling backwards, but
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: it doesn't move forward. That's what's so important about. You know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: now that we've put this in place, we've made it
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: to all of the land and actually update think you know,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: it costs more now with higher prices for fertilizer and
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: diesel fuel some of the input costs that farmers have,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: so we want to make sure that we help protect
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: them with the programs that we put in place.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no aim into that talk about the breakdown of
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the farm bill. I know, unfortunately, and this is something
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: that is really unfortunate. I don't like it, but it's
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the reality. I don't know if we're going to change
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: it in any faction. But the SNAP program, the food
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: stamps essentially is the dominance of the farm bill eighty
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: ninety percent of the entire farm bill funding. But then
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the part that is actually important, like you said, crop
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: insurance for farmers and trying to get the agricultural community
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: where they need to be with getting paid the proper rates.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I always say it all the time. I don't know
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: how farmers do it when every aspect of their entire
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: business is out of their control, from the price of
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the grain when they buy it, to the price of
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: the diesel and that goes into their truck, to the
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: weather that destroys the crap once you put it in
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the ground if it actually freezes or or destroys it,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: to when they sell it, you know, at the co op.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: At the end of the day, everything's out of their control.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: And it's pretty wild that they continue to survive year
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: after year.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is. I mean, farmers are are are
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: you know, entrepreneurs from day one. I mean they're willing
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: to take a risk every year with what they plant
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: and what the prices are going to be, what their
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: costs are going to be. And yet they are great
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: stewards of the land and they look forward to us
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: every year in terms of helping make sure that they
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: can continue to support America, support the folks around the world,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: and I mean actually help help with national security. From
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: a standpoint of of you, you don't run the risk
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: of not having enough to eat. Uh And and so
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: it's important to the risks they take, and I want
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: to make sure that you know they don't lose out
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: in its conditions are beyond their control.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Yeah, last question on the farm bill before we
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: move on. But first I have to thank you guys
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: for passing the version that you did. There was one
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: amendment to it during the conversation, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: putting it in there, getting rid of the pesticide immunity. Essentially,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: it's an immunity from anybody challenging pesticides that may cause
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: any kind of medical issues. I know that was in
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: the original draft version of it. You guys were able
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: to remove that. Thank you. What was that conversation look like,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: because out of all the news of the farm bill,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: which there's a lot of good information in there, that
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: was kind of the one piece that stood out media
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: wise that got a lot of attention. Yeah.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: I think one of the problems we have in some
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: of these discussions picking for looking at allowing labeling to
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: be done of products my state, you end up with
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: a passwork of fifty different states that might put in
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: different labeling in and so, you know, we want to
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: make sure that we provide farmers the tools and equipment
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: and the capability that they have to continue to be
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: to provide us the food that we need and.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Rely on.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: And you know, prison Trump and AHHS Secretary Kennedy or
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: actually you know, look at it, how do we make
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: America healthy again? And focusing on what do we do
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: how do we continue to make sure that the food
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: that we have eat helps us maintain health and actually
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: improve it. I mean, we cover some of the things
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: that has done on the last few.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Decades making food healthy and eating real food, which is
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: what's been the mantra coming out of government and it's
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: really been encouraging to watch. For sure. We're talking with
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Congressman roun Estasy's from the fourth district of the state
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: of Kansas, my congressman here in the state of Kansas.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Let's sift gears a little bit. Let's talk about Department
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: of Homeland Security. Seventy five days, the record has been
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: broken for the longest government shutdown. Partial government shutdown where
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: they wanted to drain the funds for immigration and customs enforcements,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: but it led to as well, and no funding for
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: border security. It led to no funding for Secret Serviced,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: no funding for FEMA, a complete disaster. And obviously, you know, Congressman,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: we're here in the middle of the country with Tennessee
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: and Kansas and Missouri and Oklahoma and Nebraska, wildfires, tornado season,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: spring weather, that's what we're seeing right now. And yet
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: FEMA didn't have a whole lot of funds to help
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: with recovery efforts on that front. After seventy five days,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: you guys were able to actually get that back open.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I got to ask what was the purpose and did
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Democrats actually get anything that they were trying to stop
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: in this process?
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, the bad part about this was that
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: this was a gimmick that the Democrats have been pushing
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: for the last seventy five plus days to shut down
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: the Department Homeland Security. And basically it stems back to
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: President Biden open the borders and make sure that there
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: were all these illegal immigrats coming into the country. President
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Trump closed the borders, and the Democrats said, well, we're
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: going to shut down border patrol, We're going to shut
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: down immigration enforcement, and basically an attempt to reopen the
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: borders and play in this game through this process, and
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: ultimately they still never moved off of their demands. And
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: so finally the only thing that could be passed through
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: the Senate was to a partial funding of the Department
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: of Homeland Security, and that's a key thing right now
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: is what we passed last week, which was good. It
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: ended the shutdown for the majority of the department, but
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: it only funded agencies like FEMA and the Secret Service
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: and the Coast Guard. It still doesn't provide the salaries
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: for the border Patrol and for the ICE Immigration Control
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: and so President Trump, through his order has been paying
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: those salaries. Were continuing to work on the reconciliation process
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: to make sure that we can actually fund ICE and
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: a border patrol moving forward. That's going to roll forward
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: in the next couple of weeks. President Trump says he
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: probably has the authority through June, has enough money through
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: June first to continue to pay salaries. But after that,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: we've we've got to have something in place to make
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: sure that we keep the borders closed and make sure
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: we help address security in our country. So it was great,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: it was a great step last week, but we still
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: have some.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: More work to do.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we got some more work to do. It's unfortunate
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: they continue to hold this up. Is that their end
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: goal is just especially for immigration Customers Enforcement, just to
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: let that fund to dry up and hope that department
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: and agency goes away.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: It really is. I mean, that's that's the push that
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: they're they're trying to campaign on politically going into into
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: the fall, and it's just a continuation of their open
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: border policy. And and that's a horrible thing. I Mean,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: what what they've also done through this process is break
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: the appropriations process. So now next year or any year
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: in the future, if somebody doesn't like a particular program,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: they go shut down a department within one of the agencies.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: So you know, maybe they maybe they want to try
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: to shut down the Air Force because they've they've bombed,
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: you know, around the Pistopperman's nuclear production and and and
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: so it's it's really going to be disruptive in future years.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be really unfortunately. Congressman Ransa's from
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: the fourth district of the state of Cannas. Last question
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: for you. We got just about a minute or so
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: left here, but you talk about this reconciliation process. Are
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: you optimistic that we're going to get this done by
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: the end of May if we have that funding up
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: until June and what else could potentially could we see
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: in that reconciliation bill?
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think we can make it to happen.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, one of the one of the things we
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: did accomplished last week, and in addition to funding all
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: of the farm and own and security or the biggest
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: part that we did fund and doing the farm bills,
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: we we completed the first step of that reconciliation process.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: And basically now the House and the Senate of both
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: the past aversion and now it's up to the committees
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: to actually come up with the exact dollar amounts that
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: go into those salaries so that we can actually fund
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: their operations. And so we have we have time this
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: month to do that, to do that legislatively, get it
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: between the House in the Senate. I think there's agreement
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: on doing that. Part of one of the greats I
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: have right now, it just goes back to the Democrat
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: strategy is that because of the short timeframe, we probably
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: won't see much else in that reconciliation process because we've
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: got to get the border patrol funded and we've got
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: to get immigration control funded so that they have salars.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, these are important government employees and we need
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: to make sure that the job that they're doing to
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: help protect us that they're paid to do that.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Right, it is priority number one. We got to get
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: that done. Congressman, we appreciate the time very much. As
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Congressman ron Esta's from the fourth District, the state of Kansas.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: We always appreciate you coming on the Toncerns radio program.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: My friend all right, great, thank you Andy, Yeah.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: You betcha always a pleasure, my congressman, great friend. We've
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: had him on the show many times. Todd always enjoys
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: chatting with him as well with Congressman Ranest's from the
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: fourth District of kandas your thoughts on some of this,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: the reconciliation process moving forward for the month of May,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: the focus of what Congress will be working on. Will
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: see what else could be happening. With that conversation, we'll
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: take a break at your thoughts on this and more
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: right around the corner for the Todd Starnes Radio Program.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Welcome back to it, Tom Starnes Radio Program for a
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: what is today Tuesday post Monday celebration, greatest day of
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: the entire Weekendy who's're sitting in for TODM. Starns today
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: is he is on the recovery. He cannot wait to
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: get him back behind the microphone. And we appreciate Congressman
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: ron Estas joining us here in the first segment of
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: the program. A lot of great news coming out of Washington,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: d C. We have a lot more to do. We're
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: counting down the times, my friends. Midterm season right around
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: the corner, the primaries earlier than you can imagine in
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: many states, and then we of course have the November
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: midterm election. If Republicans want to win and keep their majorities,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: right now, we better start I don't know codifying the
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Trump agenda, which apparently is very difficult for some to
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: do within Congress, but they are working on it. In fact,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I saw a headline today from the Washington Post House
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: lawyers are prepping staff on how to deal with a
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: democratic Congress. Are we really that scared about what's going
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: on in the midterms. We'll speculate on that here and
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: just say a little bit before we go into some
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: of the other policy issues. Yesterday was a really wild
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: interesting day. What do I mean by that? The alleged
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: assassination attempt at the correspondence dinner. The individual which I
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: don't like to say their names because I don't want
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: to get them any credibility or any type of popularity,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: was in courts and apparently he's been on suicide watch
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: because he was planning on that being the end, and
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: now that he's not at the end, then he has
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: to deal with moving forward, and he's been on suicide
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: watch in jail. Well, he showed up in court yesterday
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: and apparently the judge apologized to the way he's been
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: treated in jail.
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: Judge the of Faraqui apologized to suspect col Allen for
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: the treatment he's received so far. While he's been behind bars,
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: he's been put on suicide watch by the Department of Corrections,
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: and the judge was asking why. An attorney for the
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: government said that he was put on suicide watch because
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: he told FBI agents the knight of the White House
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: Correspondence dinner attack that he didn't expect to survive, and
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: his language suggested that he really was not expecting to
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: survive his trip to Washington, d C.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: And the ultimate incident where.
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: He allegedly showed up with a weapon to try and
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: assassinate President Trump. He's been charged with that crime, but
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: the judge very concerned about his constitutional rights, saying the
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: defendant has requested a bible, has requested meetings with his
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: legal team, and that has not been allowed. He's been
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: put in restrictive twenty four hour lockup.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Come on, man, you're telling me that because he was
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: on suicide watch, he's been in twenty four hour lockdown,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: has not been able to communicate with the outside, has
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: been able to talk to his lawyers because he has
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: a constitutional right to do so, but because that he's
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: been isolated that the judge has apologized to him on
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: the way that he's been treated. In fact, the direct
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: quote with something of the sorts of being fascinated and
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: disturbed about his treatment in jail. Now, I'm not one
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: to want to cause harm to individuals or one that
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: wants people to suffer. At the same time, if you're
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: having the attempt to go and assassinate leaders of the
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: free world and assassinate the president of the United States,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: and you do it in the sense that you have
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: now built your entire life around that, knowing that your
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: life is coming to an expiration date, meaning that you
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: plotted it out. In California, you purchase multiple firearms and
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: one of the states, it's one of the most difficult
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: states to purchase a firearm because of their gun laws. Already,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: you have two handguns, you have a shotgun, you have
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: multiple knives. You don't take a plane because you know
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: you can't get through security with those, so you take
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: a train to go across the entire country that would
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: take some time. You're committed by that point, which, by
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: the way, if you want to go down the gun
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: conversation really reinforces the idea that gun regulations and gun
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: control does not work in any way fashion right, even
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: though the weight period. Oh, you might just get bored
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: and just get burnt out on waiting for this thing.
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: No.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: No, if you're committed you want to do some kind
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: of harm, that's proof positive right there. Even the most
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: stringent and gun regulations in California did not stop this
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: guy from legally purchasing a firearm with intent to do harm.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: That shows not the problem with the gun, but the
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: problem with the mental health crisis in this nation of
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: people wanting to do harm. But I digress. That's a
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: whole other conversation for another time, with the Second Amendment.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: But now he didn't die, and now he's on suicide
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: watch because he doesn't know what to do with his
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: life and he has to suffer with his consequences of
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: his actions. Oh mon dieu, And the judge apologizes to
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: him for that, or apologizes to his attorney for that
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: because he's isolated on suicide Watch twenty four to seven.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: That's a little strange to me. I'm all about giving
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: the people the human rights they deserve, and he has
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: the right to do process, but it does have to
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: be comfortable. And I assure as heck to want him
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: scrolling on social media while he's sitting there in jail,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: supposed to be supposedly recollecting on his actions. Im pondering.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Remember your parents always sent you to your room as
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: a kid, go and think about what you did, and
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: they isolate you in your bedroom. And apparently now the
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: judge is apologizing because that's what he has to go through.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: That's a little weird to me. We got lots work
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: coming up here for a Tuesday on the Top Stars
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: radio program. Welc back to a top Starns radio program
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: on a Tuesday Today, Andy, who's're sitting in nine oh
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six. If you
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: want to jump on the program, we would love to
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: hear from you today, plenty to cover and talk about it.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: It's a busy news cycle, especially for the Trump administration,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: which is always this when let's be honest, one, is
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: it not a busy news cycle for the Trump administration?
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: That dude is always go, go, go for his age
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: and to keep doing what he's doing. It's incredible. It's
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: absolutely incredible to watch him in action because he runs
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: circles around most White House staffers and it's kind of
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: fun to watch. He keeps Congress on their toes, Congress
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: has a lot of work to do. Hey, if you're
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: going to win the midterms, you better start codifying what
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: he's done in the past year, which is like four
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: hundred executive orders, because we don't want the power exclusively
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: through the executive branch. And god forbid, we see another
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: president that's a Democrat coming in anytime soon, they can
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: reverse and stop every progress that he's been able to make,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: which is not ideal. So we need to see Congress
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: start acting on that front. That being said, Trump starting
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: off this morning with a lot of news and signing
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: a new proclamation this morning right out of the gate
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: for the Presidential Fitness Test Award and RFK Junior doctor
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Oz all the health professionals in there really excited to
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: see that we're actually going to do a Presidential Fitness
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Test Award again. Back in the now, this was not
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: during my time because I graduated what two thousand and
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: seven was my graduation, so still on the millennial front.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: But prior to that, I remember hearing about at least
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: the fitness test where you had to, you know, climb
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: to the top of the rope and hit the bell
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: and come all the way back down. We never did that.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: I did. However, you ever see those pegs on the
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: wall where you had to like use the pegs and
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: try and climb up that I did. Used to do that,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: but I just did it on my own. That was
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: like when I was halfway in shape. Now not so much.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: I got a little work to do to get back
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: to that level. But it's nice to see if Presidential
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Fitness Test come back in the test, the fitness test
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: awards that will be announced as the Order directs of
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: the President's Council of Sports, Fitness and Nutrition to create
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: the school based at programs that reward excellence and physical
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: education and develop criteria for a Presidential Fitness Award. Just
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: to put this into perspective on why this is important,
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: because not only are we working on the health front
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: of getting rid of dies and overprocessed foods and so
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: on and so forth t to make us healthier on
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: that front, but children probably one of the worst and
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: least fit generations that we've ever seen in this nation.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: When you have sixty percent of children that are declared
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: is obese, children that already or obese, that's kind of
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: a problem, is it not When you have eighty percent
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: of a generation that is either unfit or do not
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: want to join the military. That's leading to not only
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: a fitness problem for our children to be healthy without
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: health care costs down the road, but also a national
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: security risk when you don't have a generation that's actually
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: fit nor wants to actually join the military in some fashion,
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: and that eighty percent is due to either obesity or
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: health issues, or substance abuse or mental health issues in
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: some fashion, and that's a problem. So this is one
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: step in the right direction. We have plenty more to take,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: but we have to do this in stages, and we
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: have to attack it from all different angles. And bringing
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: that test back, I know that we're going to see
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of angry Unfortunately, We're to see a lot
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: of angry kids. And let's just be honest. The helicopter
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: parenting with the parents that don't want to actually force
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: their kids to not play video games all day long
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: and actually want to be attentive to their kids, which
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: is very rare unfortunately, and now in today's times that
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have parents signing notes to exempt them from
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: taking these tests. I know you think I'm crazy. That
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: is the prediction I have for the show today on
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: the top Starenes radio program. My prediction is that we
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: will literally have parents writing letters to the school saying
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: that my kid, because of playing the victim, because of
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: their heart disease issue, because of their whatever, they have
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: a bad ankle because it's sore when you actually walk
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: around kind of thing. That you will have parents out
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: there signing waivers to their kids saying that they don't
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: have to participate in this stuff, and they're going to
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: try to exempt them openly saying I don't want my
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: kid to be healthy in to get healthy yer, So
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: therefore they're going to be a victim of society. And
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: it ties into one thing Congress is supposed to be
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: working on. They haven't been working on it. If you remember,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: at the beginning of the year, the Trump administration did
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: sign a bill or released his quote Great Healthcare Plan
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: trying to encourage Congress to reform our healthcare options in
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: the country and get rid of Obamacare and give us
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: better health options there and work on the pharmaceutical side
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: of things and get our health care back to where
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: it needs to be. The other side very angry about it. Obviously,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: they try to focus on more of the universal health care.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: The healthcare is a human right, and the only way
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: we can take care is if we have this government
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: run healthcare where everybody gets the same treatment. Now that
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: treatment's going to be like the DMV and it's gonna suck,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: but at least we're going to have some type of coverage, right,
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: that's their plan. The problem is is that that doesn't work,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: especially when you have choices like this. So you want
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: choices to be unhealthy and then have people actually take
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: care of your healthcare. I don't see it. I don't
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: get it. It's a lot of reform, and we need
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: to start forcing these kids to be healthy again, not
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: only for the national security issue, but later down the
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: road to where we don't have an entire generation that's
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: needing massive amounts of medical services that are extremely expensive
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: and forcing us into bankruptcy either as an individual or
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: as a nation if we're subsidizing everybody through a nationwide
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: healthcare system. But good first step. Really excited about it.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: The Presidential Fitness Test Award that is being announced through
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: the President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition. That being
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: said yesterday. The Trump administration also busy and ironically this
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: week is officially Small Business Week Small Business Awareness Week
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: can show off hands anybody listening to the Todd Starns
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: radio program right now, how many of you are small
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: business owners? And by definition, small business is really a
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: company that employees less than five hundred employees, which that's
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: a decent sized company if you have to find five
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: hundred employees, but still considered a quote unquote small business.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: The massive economic driver in this nation is small business
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: because we're the ones that hire the vast majority of employees.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: In fact, major corporations, I want to say only employee
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: three percent of the work population. I could be wrong
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: on that number. I'm just pulling that one out, but
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: from what I seem to recollect to remember, that seems
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: about right. Because the vast majority of employees in this
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: country worked for small businesses, with the millions of small
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: businesses that are in this nation to drive the majority
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: of economic growth. And that's the place.
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: As we celebrate National Small Business Week. So let me
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: begin by saying congratulations to the small business people of
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: the year from all fifty states. It's a big deal.
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: That's a big deal, and you can be proud of yourself.
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: Are countries made up of a lot of small businesses
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: and that ends up being a really big business as
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: small business owners and operators. To people in this room
• 25:40
  Speaker 8: represent the thirty six million small businesses who create forty
• 25:44
  Speaker 8: percent of all economic activity in the United States. Think
• 25:48
  Speaker 8: of that a group of people added together, you're essentially
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: the most important factor business was in the whole in
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: the whole country.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: So why is the significant Why is there irony attached
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: to this now? With Small Business Week and Donald Trump
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: holding a small business summit yesterday, Well this comes at
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: the helms of Friday's made a protest of over six
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: thousand organized protests across the nation of a whole bunch
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: of workers, which I question on whether they were actually
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: workers or not. I'm just throwing it out there. I
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: think that they were the Unfortunately the millennials my generation
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: crawling out of their parents' basements and looking like vampire
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: seeing the sun for the first time in ages and
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: going out and doing their eighty six forty seven signs
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: and yelling about Donald Trump and hitting effigies of Donald
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Trump with sticks and thinking they're really cool and really special,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: and you know, flying Palestinian flags, and it turned into
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: an anti like a no King's protest all over again,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: just an opportunity for them to go crazy. But it
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: was technically May Day on Friday, which is a Communist
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: holiday for the International Workers Day for them to try
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: and fight for better working wages. And they tried to
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: plan for an economic blackout, shutting down stores, shutting down businesses,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: crashed the Trump economy to show how bad it is
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: because that workers are never treated fairly and they try
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: to play victims in society. I don't know if it
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: worked in the neck of your neck of the woods,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: wherever you may be, to see an economic blackout. I
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: don't think it works because I didn't hear any stories about,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh, now it can go and get services today.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: I didn't hear that even with these six thousand plus
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: protests that happened across the country. So if that's the case,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: then well done, Democrats. You officially just wasted another day's
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: worth the time. In fact, the only economic change that
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: I saw was that that same day on Friday, Donald
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Trump having a rally down in Florida and people taking
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: days off work to try and wait in line to
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: go to that. That probably had more of an economic
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: impact negative impact by people not working or being there
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: or doing anything than the six thousand protests of May
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Day back on Friday. So we go from May Day
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: on Friday to protest business corporations are evil. Anybody making
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: money is bad. You got Bernie Sanders out there protesting
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: saying that anybody making a million dollars or more is
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: really evil. We got to tax them, they got to
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: pay for their fair share, all this other garbage. When
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: to be honest as a small business, especially if you
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: have five hundred employees, four hundred employees, you're probably making
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: a million dollars or more because that's the value of
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: your business. That's really not hard to do in today's economy.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, it really doesn't take a whole lot to
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: be worth a million dollars in value. But according to
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: the progressive left, you're the problem with society. You're the
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: ones that need to pay your fair share. And if
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: that's going to be your campaign tactic, good luck. I
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: don't see how that's going to work. And I don't
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: see how any business is going to support you, or
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: any business owner or even a worker who's working for
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: a small business. Understanding the financial strain of small businesses
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: and trying to work to keep them aflow every day,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: understanding the hardship it takes to run that thing. I
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: doubt that they're going to be open to the idea
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: that if you just make the X amount of money
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: or you're valued an X amount of money, we're going
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: to tax the heck out of you and regulate you,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: which is what the Progressives have been doing and what
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: their campaign style is going into midterm season.
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: We provided one hundred percent expensing and bonus appreciation, which
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: is tremendous one of the biggest things that you have.
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: I mean, people have no idea how big that is.
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: Businesses do so that businesses can deduct one hundred percent
• 29:16
  Speaker 8: of the cost of new facilities, equipment, and capital investment
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: in the first year. It used to take thirty eight
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: years of deduction. Now you get it done in one.
• 29:24
  Speaker 8: You can take one so you can expand. I think
• 29:27
  Speaker 8: that's what made us so successful in the first term,
• 29:30
  Speaker 8: and now we have it for a ten year period.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Our business writeoffs. Democrats don't like that one as well, obviously.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Do you remember back when Donald Trump was running for
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: president the first time against Hillary Clinton, and they tried
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: to catch him up on all the tax writeoffs that
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: he had as a business owner, on why he wasn't
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: paying his spair share of taxes and why he wasn't
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: and they were trying to do it in a derogatory term, say, oh,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: you're cheating the system and you're using the system to
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: write off and not have to pay on taxes. And
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: his response was, you're right, and if you don't like
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: me doing that, if you don't like having all these
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: write offs, then go and change the laws, because it's
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: the law saying that I'm allowed to do that. And
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: as a smart business guy trying to keep as much
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: money as humanly possible, I'm going to utilize those tax
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: codes to try and write off this stuff so well
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: I don't have to pay as much. If you don't
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: like that, change the tax code. But you're not going
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: to change the tax code because all the wealthy business
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: people on the other side of the aisle also benefit
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: from these And Democrats shut up pretty pretty quickly on
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: that issue. Hillary Clinton especially shut up on that issue
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: because he was right and he exposed what's been going
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: on behind the surface for a really long time. So
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: now he's working to expand more of those Now I
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: purity wise, Ideologically, theoretically, we can advocate for the idea
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: that if we're going to simplify the tax code, we
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: don't need write ops. We would just lower taxes to
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: the rate that it would be easy and simple and
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: fair for everyone, and we don't need to worry about
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: an IRS. We don't need to worry about filing taxes
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: every year, we don't need to worry about all the
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: special write offs to try and limit it because it's
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: so small, a minuscule it doesn't matter whether it's a
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: flat tax, whether it's a straight sales tax. Whatever the
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: idea or the flavor that you like on the tax
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: code reform, those are all great ideas. That's ideologically what
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: we could strive for. Until we get to that point.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: We need to make the tax code as easy and
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: as simplified as possible, especially for small businesses to keep
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: as much money in their pocket, which Democrats obviously do
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: not like. By the way, if you know the show's
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: pond stars, Rick was there at that small business summit
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: with President Donald Trump, very nervously seemed like but still
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: if he is any indication of where other small business
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: leaders are in the country, that he's still very happy
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: with the way things are rolling for the Trump administration.
• 31:41
  Speaker 9: I just want to say, he's amazing. He's done so much,
• 31:43
  Speaker 9: I mean so much for all of us. I mean,
• 31:46
  Speaker 9: the backbone of this country is small business played in
• 31:48
  Speaker 9: simple and the last guy in office, all you know,
• 31:52
  Speaker 9: all we heard was is that we were the evil people,
• 31:55
  Speaker 9: we were the bad people. Everything else like that, we
• 31:57
  Speaker 9: don't pay our fair share whatever that's supposed to be.
• 32:01
  Speaker 10: And he made it tough.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: And this guy, the big.
• 32:03
  Speaker 9: Beautiful Bill absolutely amazing, you know what I mean, God
• 32:06
  Speaker 9: bless you for letting me get one hundred percent appreciation.
• 32:09
  Speaker 9: It really helps out.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: And all I can say is this.
• 32:13
  Speaker 9: Is literally, I mean I'm a history buff and I
• 32:15
  Speaker 9: know a lot about this White House thing and everything. Literally,
• 32:18
  Speaker 9: he's going to go down as maybe the best president ever.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: I love this guy. So there you have it, small
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: business owners, I want to hear from you nine oh
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six. I know
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: we have some economic uncertainty. I know we have high
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: gas prices right now. I know that prices on the
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: shelf are probably higher because of the travel expenses and
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: the shipping expenses. Right now, with the price of oil,
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: and gas and everything else outside of that and overall
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: in general, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: no tax on SOLI security. If you work for or
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: own a small business, are you still happy with the
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Trump administration? Latest polls show that Donald Trump may be
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: slipping on the economic issue and for the first time
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: in a while, according to some polls, take them with
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: a grain of salt, that Democrats are leading on the
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: economic topic in this nation. Is that going to drive
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: people to the polls in November? I want to hear
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: from you. Is that really true? Because if so, that's
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: a cost for concern on how short of a memory
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: span that we have to remember what they do to
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: the economy compared to what's happening right now under a
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Trump administration. We'll get your phone calls on that when
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: we come back around the corner. It is the top
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Seerns Radio program. Welcome back to the Toime Serns Radio program.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: On a Tuesday today, the small business Summit happening from
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: the Trump administration yesterday it is Small Business Week. I
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: want to hear is you're a small business owner, where
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: do you stand right now economically and do you still
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: support the Trump administration as we go into a midterm
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: season where Democrats and the polls and the mainstream media
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: are claiming that Democrats now lead on the issue of
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: the economy because of the affordability agenda. Now that being said,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: on soild security. It seems like we'removed in the right direction.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Outside of the oil and the travel issue itself, everything
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: else seems to be moving relatively well. They keep saying
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: that we're on the front for a recession later on
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: this year, although we still see economic growth. Now the
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: first quarter was a little bit slower than what we
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: had anticipated, about two percent economic GDP growth, but still
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: decent and still more than the Biden administration. And we
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: saw about three percent inflation.
• 34:23
  Speaker 10: Overall.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: You're never going to get rid of inflation. The whole
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: goal is used to kind of slow it down the
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: most you can. And three percents well beyond what the
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Biden administration had been seeing under their time when it
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: was seven and eight percent inflation. So if we have
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: that short of a memory to remember what the economy
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: was like under a progressive Democrat, then I got to
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: be honest, I really don't know what to tell you.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: That being said, the focus for the small business right
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: now is a good focus because we are seeing a
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: lot of changes in the economy. If you saw over
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: the weekend, Spirit aerow Lines has announced they are shutting
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: their doors. So they blamed the high gap prices and
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: they said it was very difficult. They've been in a
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: business for more than thirty forty years as Spirit Airlines
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: and shutting their doors here soon, and they blame the
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: oil being over one hundred dollars a barrel. And I
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: can't but think that it's not a little bit politically
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: driven with Spirit Airlines and blaming Donald Trump, because while
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: oil has been over one hundred dollars a barrel, it
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: is the fifth time since they've been in existence as
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: a company where oil has been over one hundred dollars
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: a barrel. And every other time outside of this one,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: the other four times three under Obama, one under Biden,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: all of them have been under Democrat rule. But because
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: one time it happens with the Republican and no, we
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: gotta shut the doors, got to wrap things up. It's
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: all done. We can't func function any longer. And it's
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: all because of Donald Trump's fault. I don't quite buy
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: that narrative. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: But more choices in the private sector are good news.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Maybe one of the industries isn't making the right decisions,
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: but because it's now focused on the private sector, we'll
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: see what the response is. I don't know if you've
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: seen this or not. This is from what is the
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal? Yeah, Wall Street Journal. On this one,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: there's been apparently a secret team that's quote blowing up
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: Ford's assembly line Ford Auto, uh making a thirty thousand
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: dollars electric truck. And the story goes on to they've
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: been doing tests overnight. It's been super duper secrets and
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: they're trying to transition the company of Forward into the
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: electric vehicle industry and especially the electric truck industry. Truck
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: drivers Island in Kansas again, truck drivers, I could be wrong.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Highly doubt that if you're driving the truck for the
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: purpose of what a truck is used for hauling things,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: going out into the field and doing a lot of
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: heavy lifting, I doubt that you're gonna want a thirty
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars electric truck. Pretty sure you still want the
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: good old, the hemmy and the good old power of
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: a combustion engine to make sure you're not stuck somewhere.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: I could be wrong. Maybe it's the twenty first century,
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: but who the heck knows? Not more coming up for
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: the Tops Orange Radio shows. Stay here.
• 37:19

• 38:16
  Speaker 2: haven't given much. I want to give an update on
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: Todd for just a moment before we get to our guest, because,
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: as you know, having a health scare and thought some
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: prayers have been out to him. He's been off for
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: a while. I haven't given much on the air, just
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: because I didn't know how much he wanted public. But
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: he has posted a few things on social media, and
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: for all the great listeners out there, I want to
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: give you an update on where he's at. He is
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: back home and he is recovering. I believe he has

  Speaker 2: some doctors checkups today, but we need to make sure
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: he's okay and get him back here doing the thing.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: So this once, I want to say, just last night,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: maybe yesterday, with an update on where he's at, saying
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: I'm glad to be home and I cannot think my cardiologist,
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: the team at Stern, and the phenomenal cardiac team at
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: Baptist East for getting me back up on my feet.

  Speaker 2: We are truly blessed with some of the finest medical
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: personnel in the nation right here in the mid South.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: My cardiologist called me tonight and reiterated how fortunate I am.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: A ninety percent blockage of the main artery. And I
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: must tell you that I'm taking some time to get
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: my head wrapped around the events of the past five days.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: I'm just so blessed to be surrounded by my precious
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: family and my sweet friends. My church family went above
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: and beyond in my family at KWHAM and the national
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: radio show. I've taken charge with Dylan at the Helm.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: I had my first outing earlier today to drive to
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Kroger to get some baby aspirin. I feel like I
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: ran a marathon. It's going to take a little time
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: for me to get back on my feet, but I
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: will be well on my way. In the meantime, a
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: few guest hosts will be taking over. Also, as a journalist,
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: I always believe in correcting errors at the source, and
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: I do want to apologize for telling you that gravy
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: was actually healthy for you. It turns out sausage gravy
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: is not a lubricant for your arteries. After all my apologies,
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: I long for the day when I can relax in
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: the sun and drink a doctor pep so that was
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: the latest post he's made on the condition on social media. Todd,

  Speaker 2: nine two six. I do want to We have a
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: lot to get to today. Obviously yesterday being Small Business
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Summit for the Trump administration. This week is Small Business Week.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: The latest polls and this leads into our guest here
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: that we have to kick off this hour of the
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: program on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker hotline. Latest polls. According
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: to them, they say Donald Chump's approval rating at an
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: all time low of thirty five percent. Do you believe
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: it now. According to the press briefing he just had
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: earlier this morning, he says among Republicans is approval rating
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: is still at ninety five to one hundred percent, but
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: overall nationwide thirty five percent approval. At the same time,
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: on the issue specifically of the economy, eighty one percent
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: of the young generation I'm assuming me as a millennial
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: and my generation and younger they say that the economy
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: is going in the wrong direction. Is it just because
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: of gas prices or is it more and is there
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: more something to it. That's where we go to with
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker hotline. Happy to have on the
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: show to talk about this and so much more. Good
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: friend of mine, he's with the Conservative Caucus, Theconservative Caucus
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: dot com. You can find all their information. The man himself,
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: mister Jim Faff on the line here. Jim, how are you,
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: my friend?
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: I'm doing well. And by the way, I just scanned
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: the Erasmus and presidential approval poll and over the last
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: twenty days of their polling, it's between forty three and
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: forty seven percent approval. I just feel I don't accept
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: these balls. They're just really goofy Frankly.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really goofy, and they find any way they
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: can to downplay the support for Donald trumpet even with
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: all of the quote unquote controversy that he's caused throughout
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: the years and everything that he's doing, that they still
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: can't grapple why he's gaining in support, and in fact,
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: even CNN ran a poll recently showing that among some
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: of the demographics in the black vote, especially that he's
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: actually on the increase at record highs for the Republican
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Party right now.
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: Well, and they're also marked in recently the guy who
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: was Clinton's bolster back in the day and does the
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: Harvard Harris Bowl. I mean, he was just and he's
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: not a radical lefty Democrat. He's pretty moderate and very
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: critical of the radical left. But he's been saying recently, listen,
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: I'm not predicting Republicans are going to keep the House
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: in the Senate in November, but Democrats better be aware
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: that their negatives are so low that they're in real
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: danger of not being able to pull that off.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's pretty concerning obviously, you guys with conservative
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: concus focusing on a lot of grassroots issues and trying
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: to get ready for the midterm election. There was a
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: headline that hosted today from the Washington Post, white House
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: lawyers are prepping staff on how to deal with a
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Democrat Congress. Are we really getting that concern that we're
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: not going to do well in this midterm election?
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: Well, I think the odds on is that Democrats take
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: the House. I think the Senate is quickly becoming untenable,
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: although not entirely so, because I think you're going to
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: get a Georgia backlash in spite of a kind of
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: a weak Republican candidate against John Austin. But I think
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: that you're you're going to see that in a close
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: race go Republican. Michigan is going to Mike Rodgers. By
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: the way, I'm no fan of Mike Rodgers, but you're
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: going to have a Republican pickup in Michigan. And then
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: it becomes really difficult because the map works against Democrats.
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: But in the House it's a much different matter. There
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: are a lot of races at play. I think we
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: don't know what's going to happen. We still have some
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: of these final redistricting things working out. If we're Virginia
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: overturns the referendum that would have taken their congressional makeup
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: from six to five Democrats to in ten to one Democrat.
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: You know, I think that Republicans have a better than
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: decent shot coming around this Florida pass its map. I
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: think you're going to see now miss Missouri, excuse me,
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: Mississippi and South Carolina, I think are going to redraw
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: their maps. Tennessee's looking at it, and Louisiana is being
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: told by the Supreme Court that they must redraw their
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: maps so they have a chance to go all Republican there.
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: So you know, it's still a little up in the air,
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: and in the long run, Democrats are in a bad
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: place because by twenty twenty eight you're going to see
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: massive efforts to redistrict and it's going to make it worse,
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: and then by census it goes all downhill for Democrats.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm glad you mentioned That's where I wanted
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: to go. Was that jerry mandering, the redrawing of the lines.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: Right now, it seems like to me it's fair game. Now,
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: it's just wild wild west redraw the lines. However, we
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: need two Democrats have been doing it for a while.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: We see a lot of states, especially in that northeastern
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: portion of of the country where we have zero Republican representation.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump's election in twenty twenty four was a sign that, hey,
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: we need to kind of make this a bit more
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: reflective for Republicans, and that just lost the minds of Democrats.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: I'm with you. I'm optimistic that we could actually see
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: that choice in Virginia be overturned. I don't know how
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: you can justify to the courts and say it was
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: a six' five with probably one of the best representations
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: in the country to say, no, no there's only one
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: district in the state Of virginia that's Actually. Republican so
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: we're going to go ten one now and we're going
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: to completely. OVERHAUL i don't see how that's. Logical And
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: i'm pretty optimistic we're going to see that be, overturned aren't. You.
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: WELL i am, optimistic although it's not in the bank,
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: YET i am optimistic that can. Happen but, listen, however
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: any state wants to draw their, maps whether it's legitimate
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: or illegitimate in our, eyes The Supreme court said you
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: can political. Gerrymander they said that that was what this ruling,
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: did and it restricts these federal court cases against the
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: drawing of, maps which only go Against republican, states by the,
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: way And republican efforts to draw lines and Ever democrat.
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: Ones you can't do that. Anymore it also said you
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: cannot very purposefully draw maps on a race, base and
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: that is that is. Illegitimate so, listen the political jerrymander
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: is one. Thing the problem In virginia is that they
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: violated the constitutional process for changing the state. Constitution they
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: compacted the timeline in a way that is entirely against
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: the plain language of the. Constitution that would be the
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: basis for overturning. It and then they're not going to
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: have any way to politically jerrymander because of the process that,
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: exists which uses an independent, commission except that they'll try
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: to stack that mission, Probably but that's what's going on In,
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: virginia AND i think that that's going to get. Overturned
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: but political gerrymandering is the. Future it really always kind of.
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: Existed the Reason Donald trump pushed it is Because democrats
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: have been radically jerymandering their states for. Years you've got
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: eight districts in The chicago area that wind down as
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: far As, Champagne. Illinois for anyone that Knows illinois, geography
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: that's halfway down the state and it goes up Into Cook.
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: County there's no community interest between those two areas of the,
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: state and that is that's the worst one of many
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: Bad democrat, jerrymanders especially in the, northeast which a lot
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: of people have talked. About but that's Why republicans need
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: to have a spine and counter those things because that's only.
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: Fair but, again the centers is going to Kill democrats
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: And democrat states because people are Leaving democrats states in.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: Droves, no, no, absolutely you're, right and you're. Right political
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: jerrymandering is going to be happening for a long. Time
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: we're allowed to do. That but that's different from the racial.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: Jerrymandering after The Supreme court came down on the state Of,
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: louisiana and now we're seeing the push By, florida By,
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: alabama By tennessee by others saying wait a, second we
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: might have some racially jerrymandered district as. Well so here's
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: the big, question, Then Jim, foya are we seeing the
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: end between everything That Donald jump's done with the pushing TO,
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: ndi to get rid of affirmative, action to stop focusing
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: on identity politics in. General are we seeing the end
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: of systematic quote unquote racism in this nation from What
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: democrats have done.
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: Well democrats have not walked away from, that but the
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: political capability of them to keep pressing that the way
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: they have in the past is going. Away but if
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: we ever get to a place in the near term
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: where you have A democrat in The White, house in
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: A Democrat, congress it's all coming. Back it'll be much
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: worse than it ever was. Before The biden administration so
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: radically went down the whole of eliminating an individual liberty
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: In america and overturning our constitutional. Republic they didn't quite
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: get all the way to enshrine it in our, system
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: but in effect that's what they. Did they will go even.
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: Worse there will be broad. Censorship democrats are still talking
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: about how challenging the first of women is and a
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: real problematic thing in A democrat. Culture you, KNOW i
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: mean that idea is still there with. Them but there
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: are two major things. Happening Donald trump getting elected radically
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: transformed the federal government's efforts to IMPOSE thei and esg
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: all these things that are politically motivated to twist and
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: stretch culture around The democrat. Ideal all that has been
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: eliminated in the federal government or largely eliminated in the federal.
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: Government you still have a few actors there and employment
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: and bureaucrats that are, there but the structure has been.
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: Dismantled the other thing that's happening is when you look
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: at THIS la mayor's, RACE i think is a great.
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: Example This Bencher pratt guy is really Shaming Karen, bath
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: particularly over The Pacific palisades fire, thing but also all
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: the destructive behavior Of democrats IN. La and he's gaining some.
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: TRACTION i don't know if he's going to, win but
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: he is gaining traction and causing, frustration And california in
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: general is getting. Frustrated in other, words the point of
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: making is you've got the political move that would allow
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: These democrat efforts to take place that has been somewhat
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: extracted from. Culture in the short, run if they consolidate power,
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: again they could turn that political effort back in their.
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: Favor but right now the politics is not on their
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: side to keep pressing that they have to make the
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: case to The american people do you want to go
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: back to The biden? Administration AND i just don't see
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: The american people accepting that in the near.
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: Term, NO i really. Don't i'm really excited to see
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: a Potential republican for the first time in a, while
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: actually be able to take over the governorship In. California
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: And Gavin, NEWSOME i can smell the desperation from him
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: because he is out there trying to justify everything that
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: he's been. Doing and it's hilarious to, watch for. Sure,
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: jim we got just about a minute or so. Left
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: Here's jim faff with The Conservative Caucus Theconservative caucuss dot
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: com as we chat about the latest right now at,
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: LEAST i know that's a long ways away until the
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: midterms In. November right, now what do you think is
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: the number one issue For americans to drive them to the?
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: Polls is it the economic issues and gas? Prices?
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: WELL i think it, is and it always. Is you,
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: Know James carvel is bad in a lot of, ways
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: but the one thing he got right is it's the
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: economy stupid that really ultimately does drive the political. Agenda
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: there can be Black swans that come. In But Donald
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: trump's got to get the focus away From iran and
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: the efforts. THERE i think he has to be honest
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: and deal with it as he, is but he needs
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: to to get the agenda back on the real economic
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: successes that have taken, place and he needs to urge
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: The Republican congress to do something dramatically positive through reconciliations
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: since they can't bypass the cloture vote With. Democrats if
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: they will do, THAT i think that the, wins the political,
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: wins could be Behind, republicans but they're doing a whole
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: lot In. Congress republicans are to tell The american, people,
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: YEAH i know you don't Like, democrats but don't vote for.
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: Us but that If Spencer pratt's commercials could be the
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: commercials that are done nationally in every congressional, district Penning
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: democrats with the failures that they have and showing that
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: they have no actual agenda, positively then you Know republicans
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: could pull it. Off we'll see if they're willing to do.
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: It it's a lot up to. Them we're going to
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: be trying to do that on our, side but they
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: need to do it from their places they.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: Do they got to get it done as. Well they
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: got to do it on their, site and they have
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: The golden. Goose they have the prime opportunity to do.
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: It what are we waiting for right? Now and like you,
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: said we could do a reconciliation bill that doesn't need the.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: Filibuster we could put in the Entire republican platform and
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: everything we want to do into this thing and cram
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: it through and make us win into a big victory
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: for the. Midterms we'll see if that actually happens or. Not,
• 53:19

• 53:56
  Speaker 2: DONE i understand there's a filibuster issue going on in The,
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: Senate but if we have a reconciliation bill where we
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: can kind of throw everything in there to some, limitations
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: but we throw as much as we possibly can into
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: a reconciliation bill and we pass it with simple. Majorities
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: that's not an issue with the number that we have In.
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: Congress that's an issue with the mindset of The republicans

• 54:18
  Speaker 2: hint wing, quink Mister John, thune The senate majority, leader

• 55:16
  Speaker 2: WELL i want to take that. BACK i am a conspiracy.

• 55:26
  Speaker 2: bill with our entire, agenda and we're gonna do it

  Speaker 2: Great appreciate you jumping on us here with The Todd
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: starnes Radio. Show let's talk about where we're at. Now
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: i've seen and we've been reading the polls today that
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: we see one poll That trump mentioned that Among republicans
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: he still has a roughly ninety percent approval, rating ninety
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: five hundred, percent he, said one hundred, percent BUT i
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: think it's right on ninety. Percent then we hear other
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: polls that his approval rating is sitting at thirty five.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: Percent according TO Msn, today they say that there's a
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: new poll showing eighty one percent of Young americans say
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: the economy is in bad or terrible situation and going
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: in the wrong. Direction, josh are we missing the boat?
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: Here and what the heck do we have to do
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: to win people back over before the midterm elections In
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: november and Allowed democrats to somehow have economic choices, again
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: because that doesn't seem like the very smart move to.
• 57:58
  Speaker 7: Make, yeah you're, right going back to your original point
• 58:03
  Speaker 7: about the, poll the large majority Of republicans still support
• 58:06
  Speaker 7: the president as they did when we first took office
• 58:08
  Speaker 7: back at twenty, sixteen going up all the way to
• 58:10
  Speaker 7: now ten years, later And democrats so hatos and his
• 58:14
  Speaker 7: full numbers Among democrats are in the single. Digits that
• 58:18
  Speaker 7: hasn't changed over the course Of trump's entire political. Career
• 58:22
  Speaker 7: where you see the fluctuation is the, independence, right who
• 58:25
  Speaker 7: are they going to break for in the upcoming. Election
• 58:28
  Speaker 7: that's what you have to fight. For but arguably more
• 58:31
  Speaker 7: important than that as of right now is For republican.
• 58:35
  Speaker 7: Voters you have to give them a reason to come
• 58:37
  Speaker 7: out and. Vote in twenty twenty, four the reason they
• 58:39
  Speaker 7: come out and vote was a rebuking The biden. Administration
• 58:42
  Speaker 7: that was our motivating. Factor we don't like what The
• 58:45
  Speaker 7: buider administration has been, doing particularly as it relates to
• 58:48
  Speaker 7: inflation and cost of, Living so we want to change,
• 58:50
  Speaker 7: course and that's what drove people to the. Polls heading
• 58:53
  Speaker 7: into the, Midterms republicans have to give something to drive
• 58:55
  Speaker 7: people to the. Polls if people still like the cost
• 58:58
  Speaker 7: of living still, up which it, is and that their
• 59:02
  Speaker 7: wife is becoming more and more, unaffordable The republicans have
• 59:05
  Speaker 7: to address that issue in order to drive those voters
• 59:08
  Speaker 7: who care about that.
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: Issue to the.
• 59:10
  Speaker 7: Post particularly as you mentioned young. People as a young person,
• 59:12
  Speaker 7: myself the vast majority of my friends WHO i graduated
• 59:15
  Speaker 7: college with or went to high school, with who are
• 59:17
  Speaker 7: now you, know in the early stages of their professional. Careers,
• 59:20
  Speaker 7: look they landed good jobs and they're working in respected
• 59:23
  Speaker 7: companies and, industries but it still feels like the cost
• 59:26
  Speaker 7: of levels just too much to. SURMAIL a lot of
• 59:28
  Speaker 7: people don't know how they're ever going to afford a,
• 59:30
  Speaker 7: home and if neither party is addressing that, issue that's
• 59:33
  Speaker 7: just leaving ships on the. Table so THAT'S i think
• 59:36
  Speaker 7: What republicans have to do heading into the midterms this
• 59:39
  Speaker 7: fall is give a reason for people to support, You
• 59:42
  Speaker 7: otherwise they're not going to come out and vote for.
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: You it's a great point so here's the, question, then
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: how do you think we should do? THAT i know
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: That Zoron Mom, donnie the mayor Of New York, city
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: was the one that coined the term originally on the affordability,
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: issue And democrats tried to run with, it and kouters
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: To President, trump he tackled that issue and made it
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: his zone and, said we're going to address the affordability.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: Issue that was, after by the, way the passage of
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: The One Big Beautiful bill with the no tax on,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: tips no tax on, overtime no tax on solid. Security
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: so we've had some big. Wins but right, now like you,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: SAID i mean the conflict In iran causing some higher gas,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: prices causing some stress at the, pump a little bit
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: in the economy in general because of all the travel
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: and expenses to ship different. Items so what can be?
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: Done we have a summer When congress right now is
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: working on a potential reconciliation. Bill is this the golden
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: goose opportunity for us to throw a whole bunch of
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: our agenda in there and pass it by summer to
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: say look at what we've.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 7: DONE i, think in an essence that is All republicans
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 7: need to do because This, congress and this is no
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 7: and Of Mike johnson or Any republican leadership on The,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 7: hill but This congress has passed the least amount of
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 7: legislation of Any congress in. History congress is setting on their.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 7: Hands for, example we have a unified government right, Now
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 7: republicans controlled The White house and both chambers on The.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 7: Hill but yet we've only passed roughly and this was
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 7: like a month, ago eighty eight pieces of. Legislation take
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 7: that and go back to the First obama. Administration by this,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 7: Point congress have passed two hundred and fifty bills roughly,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 7: speaking supporting their. Agenda So republicans on The hill aren't
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 7: pushing the agenda into getting a legislative and signed into
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 7: law by the. President so you've seen the president and
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 7: the administration take a lot of executive, action which is
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 7: great because that allows you to implement your policy and
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 7: your agenda. Quickly but that also Means i've sent as
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 7: A democrat is elected president, again that's going to get taken.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 7: Away SO i think if you want to Motivate, republicans
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 7: start passing bills and you get them to The president's
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 7: desk Before november and be, like, look you sent us
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 7: to do this, job and we're doing it and here's the.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: Evidence, yeah that would be really. NICE i would really enjoy,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: that AND i think a lot of people would as.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: Well what is the biggest obstacle? Here because we hear
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: from the argument all the, time especially in The, senate
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: is we have this, filibuster we don't have the sixty
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: votes to get things, done and, therefore well we'd love
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: to do, it but we just. Can't is that really
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: truly an obstacle or is there a way to get around,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: it either by ending the, filibuster which The trump Administration
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: President trump has advocated, for or doing the actual stand
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: in filibuster like we should have done with The Save
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: act in order to just, say you, know the standing,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: error the verbal or whatever they call, it with that particular,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: filibuster to say When democrats, leave they're not counted and
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: therefore we can actually get this, passed and to actually
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: use some political leverage. Here why haven't we exercise or
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: flexed our muscle here a little?
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 7: Bit that's a great. QUESTION i WISH i had a
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 7: simple answer to. It but to your, point, yeah DO
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 7: i think necessary The senate should get rid of the,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 7: filibuster not, necessarily but there's other ways to get your
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 7: legislation through The senate that doesn't require you the newth
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 7: to filibuster. Altogether like you, said you could do the
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 7: standing filibuster or better, yet and, LOOK i get, it
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 7: there's strong policy differences between The republicans And. Democrats but
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 7: if you can make a deal in The, senate where
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 7: there's there is a handful of Respectable democratic senators who
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 7: would listen to, reason make that deal makes you meet
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 7: in the middle just to get these bills across the finish. Line,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 7: so for, example The Save America act is one of
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 7: the most flagship pieces of legislation that the administration is
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 7: supporting and That republican voters deeply care. About that's something
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 7: you can't just laps fall out the. Wayside you have
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 7: to keep fighting for, it even If democrats keep stone.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 7: Walling don't let them get away with blocking.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: Them, no like you, SAID i, mean it's not Just
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: republicans supporting this. Thing what eighty percent of The american
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: population in, General, Republicans, democrats, independence everybody actually support. That
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: just by passing that would give us maybe major kudos
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: going into the midterm, season on the campaign trail for.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: Summertime it would just be that. Easy and it seems,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: Like josh and you've seen, This you've been following this
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: for a long. Time it seems like every Time republicans
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: get the, majority we fall on our, face and then
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: when we get the, minority we love being in the.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: Minority we play the. Victim we can't do. Anything we
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: need The, house we need The, senate we need the.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: Presidency if only we could get, those then we would
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: do really. Well and we give it to, them and
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: then they don't do, anything AND i think there's a
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: lot of frustration.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 7: THERE i think you're. RIGHT i think you're, right and
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 7: not forget to philosolic on, it but to your, point
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 7: Whenever democrats take the majorities in The White, house auto
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 7: the same time they get things. Done they pass big
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 7: bills for better or for. Worse oftentimes for, worse they
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 7: come together and they're in lop staff every step of the.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 7: Way republicans don't do. That AND i think one it
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 7: speaks to the fact we're a big ten party and
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 7: there's a lot of ideological ideological, Differences but then the
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 7: party speaking to the fact that we're a big ten,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 7: party but also too AND i think this goes back
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 7: to our core political philosophy Is republicans and are inherently
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 7: more individualistics Than. Democrats democrats are becoming the collectivist, party
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 7: The democratic socialist. Party they all think of one, mind
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 7: Whereas republicans with an individualist. Party AND i think you
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 7: can see that whenever it comes to uniting as a
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 7: party on either side of the ale in terms of
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 7: getting things done IN.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: Dc, yeah well that is very. True and you know,
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: what that's a good thing and bad. THING i love
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: us being the, wicked wild independent thinkers on our. Party
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: the problem is is that when we have too much of,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: that then we can't get anything, done and it's really.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: Frustrating we're talking About Josh, Jones He's Republican. Strategies you
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: can find him on his social media At Josh JONES.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: Dc let's talk about the positive side here for just a,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: moment BECAUSE i am still optimistic even though we're hearing
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: about all this doomsday about How democrats are going to
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: sweep us in the. MIDTERMS i don't know if that's necessarily.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: True hearing different interviews with the chair of THE rnc
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: and how the party is in, general we are dominating
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: on the fundraising. Side we're bringing in a lot of.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: Money Elon musk says, that you, know he's going to
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: be helping out candidates across the. Country democrats are still
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: trying to dig out of a hole because they took
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: out what like forty seventy million dollars last year for
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: special and off season elections and took loans out and
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: they're just trying to pay those back right. Now so
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: there's still while they have momentum from just the rhetoric, standpoint,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: financially they're still struggling really. Badly is that going to
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: help us go through this?
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 7: Year, YEAH i mean it definitely. Is there's a huge
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 7: adventus on The republican side of the, eye and let's you,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 7: know just to set the table a little bit that
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 7: has ever happened in modern history and Some republicans having
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 7: more money in the fundraising inside of things compared to The.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 7: Democrats do you go back every modern election in the
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 7: last twenty twenty five, Years democrats have, always, always always
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 7: had spending advantage when it comes to especially every, election
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 7: particularly when it comes to The house And senate. Races for, One,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 7: republicans we have actually crushed The democrats in their fund.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 7: RAISING i think that is going to have a big
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 7: impact come To fall because, look obviously it is about
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 7: momentum and grassroots and having that support on the, ground
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 7: but also, too a big part of it is getting
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 7: on the, airwaves getting your ads out, there getting your
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 7: message out there to the voters so they can hear
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 7: what you actually stand. For SO i, think, look as
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 7: we all of Us republicans are smart about how they
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 7: spend the, money then it puts us in a good
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 7: spot and can make up some of that different stuff
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 7: the moment that The democrats.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: Have, Yeah i'm glad you mentioned, that because you're. Right Traditionally, republicans,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: conservatives we do way better at the grassroots campaign, level knocking,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: doors making phone, calls connecting with our constituents and winning
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: them over with a one on one. Conversation we do
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: that way better than The. Democrats and in, fact Under Barack,
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: obama when he was looking over and heading over The,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: democrats he completely gutted the Statewide democrat parties and they're
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: still suffering from that years later because they never invested
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: down at the local levels for that grassroots, campaigning AND
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: i think that has come to bite them in the.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: Butt so if we spend it, responsibly and if we
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: are financially responsible like we say we are when we're
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: trying to craft budgets at the government, level then we
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: should do relatively well on that. Front last topic for
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: you as we shift gears, HERE i want to talk
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: about the bickering among The Republican. Party and you tease
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: it with all the different, wicked wild freethinkers that we,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: have but it almost seems like we now have an
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: insurgence internally from the quote Unquote maga movement fighting amongst
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: The maga, movement and that's The Marjorie Taylor, greens and
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: that's The Tucker carlson's and The Candace owens that have
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: sabotaged the party and trying to tear it apart from.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: Within we're traditionally very good at doing that ourselves as.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: Well but is this a concern to drive people away
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: from the? Movement do you?
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 7: THINK i don't think that's necessarily the. CASE i think
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 7: a lot of, times particularly for those of us who
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 7: work in the, industry people can get caught up in
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 7: The twitter feeds and the online rhetoric from some of these.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 7: Influencers but if you go and talk to the average
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 7: voter and ask, them, hey what do you think About
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 7: Tucker carlson's latest position on The trump. ADMINISTRATION i have
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 7: no idea what you're talking. About SO i, think, look
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 7: does it have some level of, Impact, sure all things,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 7: Do but it's just affecting the midterms in any serious.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 7: Way absolutely. Not and, look political movements, evolved they don't
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 7: just stay the, same and that's that's a good. Thing you,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 7: know there's circumstances on the world stage, change the circumstances
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 7: in the country, change and you have to be willing
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 7: to adapt and. Overcome now that doesn't mean to drop your,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 7: principles but you have to be you, know. Flexible AND
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 7: i think that's what you see from The trump administration
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 7: and some of these, people like you, said Partiers Tyler
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 7: green And, Candicellans Tucker carlson and. OTHERS i think there's
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 7: still stuff in those mindset of, hey you, know they
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 7: need a. Newsplash hey it's not twenty, fifteen twenty sixteen.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 7: Anymore but are we still putting In america first and
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 7: advancing those same principles we were advocating for then.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, Yeah, well if you would listen To Candice owns
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: And Erica kirk is nothing more than A cia operative
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: wanting to take Out Charlie kirk intentionally for her to
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: Run Turning POINT usa and do whatever with. It so you,
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: KNOW i guess there is that theory out there and

  Speaker 2: thing here on the Top Starnes radio. Program we had
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: color murphin the at the end of last, hour AND
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: i wrote down the questions that he had. Asked he
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: asked three, questions AND i want to address those because
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: he brings up great points across the board on the.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: Economy the economy seems to be the number one driving
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: factor to people in election, season whether things are doing
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: well or not doing. Well and, unfortunately it all relies
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: on a political party or a president that's in office
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: on whether they get the credit of it doing well
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: or not doing. Well and that's not the way the
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: system's set, Up but, politically that's kind of the way
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: the system set. Up we always look at the. Economy,
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: oh the economy did well Under Ronald. Reagan oh the
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: economy didn't do so well Under Jimmy. Carter, oh the
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: economy did well Under Barack. Obama and the problem with
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: that argument is that it takes time for economic policy
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: to make a. Difference, now the first, question, LISTEN i
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: guess we can go down these one by one from
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: What murph had asked us and we can relate them
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: all to each. Other as number, one he, asked where
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: is it in the constitution that the president has control
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: of the, Economy and the generalized basic answer to that
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: is that's Not there's nowhere in the constitution that the
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: president dictates the economy or controls the. Economy, now based
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: on policy they advocate, for if you spend more money
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: at the government, level then you have to either raise
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: taxes or you have to print more. Money either one
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: is a bad. Option so, therefore based on the policy
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: that you advocate, for can dictate whether the economy is
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: going to do well or. Not because if you're lowering
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: the value of the, dollar you're not going to have
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: a strong. Economy if you're raising taxes on, people then
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: you're putting more financial burden on them because they have
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: less money in the private, sector and therefore you're going
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: to have a bad. Economy so the policy that you
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: advocate for will dictate the economy one way or the.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: Other but there's nowhere in the constitution where the president
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: itself controls the. Economy in, Fact congress holds the power
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: of the. Person they make the majority of those, decisions
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: and the president can advocate for one policy or. Another
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: the problem is is that we live in a society
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: of instant. Gratification and you can blame social, media if
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: you can blame just a bunch of really impatient. People
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: that we live in a society of instant. Gratification and
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: the prime example of what we're seeing right now is
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: the nation Of iran and the conflict that we're going
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: through right now in the gas prices that have gone.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: Up we have forgotten as a society already with our
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: short term memory loss that we have and with the
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: instant gratification that we. Want The unfortunately this is not.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: Good but, unfortunately the vast majority of society does not
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: care how much corruption is going on IN, dc does
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: not care about threats going on, abroad does not care
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: about the global powers trying to dominate and get rid
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: of the idea of, nationalism get rid of the idea
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: of The america FOR us. Agenda most people don't care
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: as long as their day to day operation is just.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: Untouched and we're seeing that right. Now Donald trump saw
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: a threat With iran and he said we need to
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: do something about it. Now whether you can agree with
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: that or you can disagree with that you can think
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: it's An America first, agenda or you can say he's
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: betraying The America first agenda by focusing on global issues
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: and getting involved in another foreign. Conflict you can say
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: that having a nuclear weapon With iran is a is
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: a bad, thing or you can say we just don't really.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: Care it's not our. Responsibility it's not going to reach.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: Us so who really? Cares depending on where you stand
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: on that. Issue Donald trump felt the need that that
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: was a major threat to The United. States, unfortunately that
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: also affected The strait Of Horror, moves where twenty percent
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: of the oil passes through that the globe. Uses why
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: we have twenty percent of our energy demands through a
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: strait that's controlled by a terrorist. Regime that's kind of
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: weird to. Me and he thought that to be a.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: Problem and he understood the concept that it may be
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: a little rocky temporarily while we address this issue after
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: already solving the energy crisis and having lower gas prices within.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: Month to go back to what he was at the
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: end of the first term of his, administration that we
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: realize it's going to be rocky for a short time
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: while we address this issue and then it will go
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: back down and in, fact probably will go back down
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: better than what it was even prior to this from
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: what we saw about a year ago from. Now but
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: people with their short term memory, loss in their instant,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: gratification they don't. Care they just don't. Care and that's
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: why we see all these polls in the media is,
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: gonna you, know exemplify, it and they're going to run
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: with it and talk about how bad people are and
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: how angry people are with The trump, economy which is
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: WHY msn has this poll right now that shows at
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: eighty one percent of young adults say the economy is
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: in bad or terrible state because we went from having
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: some of the best gas prices that we haven't seen
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: in four plus years at the end of the first
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: administration to now gas prices not even to the peak
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: of what it was Under Joe, biden but it's higher
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: than it was a year. Ago so therefore the catastrophees out.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: There it's the end of the, world it's the doomsday.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: Scrolling so to answer point number, one does the president
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: have control of the economy based on the? Constitution, No
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: but in the society and the culture that we live in,
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: today we put that responsibility on them and based on their,
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: decisions even knowing that it's going to the ends are
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: going to justify the, means and that we're going to
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: see better stuff at the end of the day without
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: corruption happening behind the scenes to run. It that he
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: knows it's going to be better based on these policy.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: Changes people don't. Care that's really honest To. God and
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: if you are one of, THOSE i want to hear
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: from you on the. PROGRAM i know one two six
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two. Six if you are, like, hey
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: my life is doing my, thing going to work every,
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: day putting food on the. Table that's WHAT i care.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: ABOUT i don't care about anything. Else AND i don't
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: care that there are corrupt individuals IN dc that are
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: benefiting from the way the system operates right. NOW i
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: don't care that there are threats and terrorist regimes around
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: the world that control the energy THAT i. Use as
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: long as we don't rock that, BOAT i can keep
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: my day to day operations functioning Relatively, OKAY i just don't.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: CARE i got better things to pay attention to and
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: that instant. Gratification why isn't it the WAY i want
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: it right? Now that's point number. One now point number
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: two he mentioned about the. Affordability affordability is not a
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: term in The constitution in any, way shape or, form
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: and affordability is relatively. Speculative, right it may be better
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: better priced for consumer goods in one area than it
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: is in another. Area that comes down to the idea of.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: States prime, example price of. Gas, again right, now we
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: see here In, kansas we just hit an average of
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: four dollars a, GALLON i want to, say and people
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: are losing their, Minds they're all. Angry we are, still
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: As canson's proud cans in, here we are still the
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: second cheapest gas in the entire. NATION i don't know Where,
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: dylan and you, know what do you guys there In,
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: tennessee what's the what's the gas prices for you guys
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: out there right? Now is it right around?
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 10: Four four?
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: Dollars a little over four? DOLLARS i don't.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 11: KNOW i think we're right up next to four, Dollars
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 11: we're like, three.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, Three so you guys are right up there about
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: where we are, then, Okay so, okay, yeah so a
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: little bit different than let's Say california that's sitting at
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: six or seven dollars a gall. On what's the. Difference,
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: well the difference, is if you want to talk about,
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: affordability is again back to, policy but at a statewide,
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: level because again getting back to an idea of constitution
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: that these powers are supposed to necessarily come back to
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: the state with state sovereignty to make their own economic.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: Decisions and four dollars a gallon of gas In kansas
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: because of the lack of, taxes lack of regulation over that,
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: industry vastly different from a state Like california that taxes
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: them immensely because they are a, greedy Socialist democrat run,
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: state and that's why they have six dollars gallons Of
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: guess it's not because of the evil oil. Company they're
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: not making a difference in profit from gas sold In
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: kansas compared to gas sold In. California that's not what they're.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: Doing they're just making the same amount across the. Board
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: but it's the taxes on top of that at a
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: local and statewide. Level that's what we need to be aware.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: Of policy at the federal, level policy at the statewide,
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: level and affordability is relative based on where you live
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: in the. Nation, heck In. California In San, Francisco La,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: area you have to have what like at least two
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 2: hundred one thousand dollars just to survive out. There kind of.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 2: CRAZY i don't know how you do, it by the, way,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: Either Beautiful. AREA i don't know how you make that
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: much money to survive on a regular. Basis that's kind of.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: Wild AND i envy you on. THAT i view being
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: successful to make that. MUCH i don't envy having to
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: just barely make ends meet with that kind of. Money
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: that's kind of hard for my brain to wrap my head.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: Around but, nonetheless that leads to the issue of how
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: we actually get out of. This and it's, twofold AND
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: i know this is probably relatively unpopular for many that
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: are listening to the program right, now but it's more
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: than just government. Policy it is also our own personal. Responsibility,
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: YEAH i, know when we put the pressure back on,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: ourselves it becomes extremely. Unpopular AND i can hear the
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: dials turning. Away how dare he say THAT i have
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: to take responsibility for? This but it's. True, look if
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: you have a mortgage that is well above your means
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: of what you can pay, for and an auto loan
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: on top of, that and a whole bunch of credit
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: cards and living on. CREDIT i don't mean to turn
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: into like A Dave ramsey financial expert, Here i'm. Not
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: but as our caller set at the end of last,
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: hour sixteen percent interest rate on a. Home that's kind of,
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: crazy And god bless you being able to pay that,
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: off that's kind of. CRAZY i, remember BEFORE i got
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: back into, radio for those that don't, know on The
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: Top sterns radio, SHOW i was a. BANKER i was
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: a personal, banker SO i actually worked at one of
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: the banks inside of a grocery. Store SO i was
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: the teller doing your deposit or, withdrawal WHILE i was
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: pitching you a credit, card WHILE i was opening up
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: your checking, account AND i was filing your mortgage or
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: refinance or your home or your car loan or. WHATEVER
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: i did it. All and at that, time this, was,
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: OH i don't, know twenty not twenty, fifteen twenty, twelve twenty,
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 2: THIRTEEN i don't. Remember around that, time we were running
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: sales for one and a half, percent, helocks home, equity
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: lines of credits one and a half, Percent and NOW
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: i go to the bank and it's like six. Percent
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: kind of, Crazy so a little bit different, time but
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: you got to have those responsibility at your own level
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: what can you? Afford and living in debt is not affordably,
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: living because if something, happens what do they, say sixty
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: seventy percent Of americans can't afford a thousand dollars emergency
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: that may come. Up and that's kind of an eye.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: Opener so not only should we be calling For congress
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 2: to act responsibly with our money and not taking out
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: a whole bunch of taxes and not regulating us to,
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: death and not spending above their means when we, have
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: by the, way just the report this a couple days
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: ago Of congress hitting thirty seven trillion dollars of a
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: national debt and now spending or at least being in
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: debt of one hundred percent of THE, Gdp meaning if
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: you take every penny from every, man, woman, child small
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: business and corporation across the, country it would barely pay
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: for what we're doing at the federal level one hundred.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: Percent and that's kind of. Wild when we used to
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: have it capped at what eighteen percent maybe twenty percent
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: of THE, gdp government could only spend that much because
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 2: we WANT gdp growth and we want to keep government spending.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: Down we have to get back to that. Level but
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: at the same, time regardless of what government, does our
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: finances are our own responsibility and we can't rely on
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: to make or break based on what policy happens in,
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: government because if you rely on government to do the right, thing,
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: ah you're gonna be poorly. Mistaken and that's going to
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 2: be an. Issue SO i hope that answers the questions
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: on what we have to. Do it's a multi front,
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 2: level but unfortunately we've liked to pass off the. Blame
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: we like to play the, victim and we like to
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: look at the leaders to say do, something which is
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: more of a cultural. Issue, hey, government there's a. PROBLEM
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: i feel. Uncomfortable government do. Something and we see that
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: across the board with the economy and with education and
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: with guns and public. Shootings government do. Something AND i
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: think we're, finally, finally here's the optimism before we wrap this.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 2: Up i'm finally starting to see that transitioning culture because
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: we're seeing now less people relying on government for the
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: answer and looking towards a higher, power taking responsibility back
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: into their own, hands going back to, church finding that
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: guidance and realizing that a bureaucrat and politician and government
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: In washington probably is not going to solve your. Issues
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: and we have to find a way to get that
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 2: power back away from them that we gave to them
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 2: for so many, years and we have to figure out
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: a way to start taking that power back into our
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: own hands and figuring it out. Ourselves BECAUSE i don't,
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: KNOW i maybe thirty seven and may not have a
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: whole lot of life. Experience but at the same, TIME
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: i have learned pretty quickly that IF i want something,
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: done can't really rely on someone else to do. IT
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: i got to figure it out. Myself and that's an
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: unfortunate way of the, world but that is a realist
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: way of the. World All, right your thoughts on? This, agree?
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: DISAGREE i want to hear from. You nine oh one

• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: economically who's responsible for, it and how do we fix
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: this issue in this madness that we are in right
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: now culturally and politically here in the country nine one
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: two six zero five nine twenty. Six by the, way
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: speaking of how we spend our money responsibly or lack,
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: thereof there has been some new information from The Transparency
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: task FOR us Of Vice president Jd vance Doctor oz
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: and their investigation of one hundreds AND i mean hundreds
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: of hospice care facilities in the state Of, california cutting
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: them off from speculation of being fraudulent and then never
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: getting a, callback meaning kind of confirmed that they are.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: FRAUDULENT i know that when you post this on social
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: media they, say, oh it's fake, news but it's really
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: kind of. Not Doctor oz was on an interview just
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 2: recently and.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 10: Said this numbers out, there several one is.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 12: Clear one in three hospices In america are In Los,
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 12: angeles Not, CALIFORNIA.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 10: La one in, THREE i mean how many people are dying.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 12: There obviously is, fraudulent and the red flags that were
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 12: mentioned in that wonderful.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 10: Report are all.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 12: Evident you have doctors selling their souls basically their license
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 12: number to open multiple hospice. Relationships they dishonestly claimed the
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 12: or are dying when they're. Not if they steal their,
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 12: money they will steal your. Life they don't care at
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 12: all about, you as you saw from that wonderful couple
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 12: that's thankfully now being adopted by a real. Hospice And
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 12: i'm a big fan of hospice when done, correctly works.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 10: Well but when one in three hospices in.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 12: The country are In Los, angeles we believe that at
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 12: least half of those are.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 10: Fraudulent this is massive.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 12: Fraud now we've already delisted four hundred and fifty.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 10: Hospices that is an unbelievably large.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 12: Number and guess what in that first, Trunch no one's,
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 12: Complaint no one's calling us and say, no, no, no
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 12: we are. Innocent they know they got. Caught they're going
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 12: to go off and scan somebody, else which is what's.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 10: Happening by the, way that.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 2: Is mind, blowing four hundred and fifty of them that
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: they've cut funding off and out a single callback saying,
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: hey where's my? Money like none of that. Stuff that's
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: wild to. Me and it really just reaffirmed that not
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: only do we have, fraud but it seems like and
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: this is Why number, one in my, Opinion this may
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: be an, extremist radicalized, position but, governments especially federal, government
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: constitutionally is not supposed to be involved in social programs,
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 2: period end of. Story that Is, Medicare, medicaid Social, security food,
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: stamps nothing like all of that. Stuff if you want
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: those types of, programs those are supposed to be done
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: at a statewide. Level that's my, opinion very. Controversial you
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: can take it or leave it on that, front BUT
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: i think that they're not supposed to be done in
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 2: the first. Place the fact that they are done and
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 2: it's so easy for this fraud to happen the four
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty hospice facilities tells me that the fraud
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 2: was built into the system to allow to be. Happen
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: so when they crafted the whole structure of these programs
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 2: in the first, place they left it open to allow
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 2: this type of. Fraud and it's time for a reset
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: button on how all of it functions on all. Levels
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 2: we'll talk some more about. That around the. Corner it's

• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: signed the proclamation for The Presidential Fitness Test awards for public,
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 2: schools which was awesome and by the WAY i saw the,
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: video there were a lot of kids there both in
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 2: The Oval office and then. Outside trump is out hanging
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 2: out with the high school kids out on the front
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: yard of The White. House then they were sitting there
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 2: and chatting and hanging out and just having a good.
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 2: Time and Then Donald trump totally busted out the dance
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 2: moves to show them how to do some proper. Dancing
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 2: you can see the Typical Donald trump dance style at
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 2: eighty years, old which is well done AND i love.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: That and he was showing the kids how to do.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: That so showing to his young kids how to bust
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: out the moves on the dance, floor that was really.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: Neat but while the ceremony was going, on he did
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 2: do the proclamation for The Presidential Fitness. Test but then
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 2: he was also answering some other. Questions he did bring
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: up the issue Of. Iran they didn't shoot the ships
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 2: that were guarded by.
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 13: Us i'll tell you that we knocked down a lot of.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 13: Missiles so what happens is that.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 10: We have a situation where we have total.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 13: Control as you, know the blockade has been.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 8: Amazing it's like a piece of. Steel nobody's going to.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 13: Challenge the, blockade AND i think it's working out very.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: Well we're going to SEE i can say.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 8: This iran wants to make a.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 13: Deal WHAT i don't like About iran is they'll talk
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 13: to me with such great, respect and then they'll go
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 13: on television and they'll, say we did not speak to the.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 13: President we did.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 10: NOT i just spoked at.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 8: It we did not speak to the.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 13: President so they play. Games but let me just tell,
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 13: you they want to make a.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 8: Deal and who wouldn't when your military is totally, gone
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 8: we could do anything we.
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: Wanted then who Wouldn't who? Wouldn't so all, right So
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: President trump making that statement. Today here's the issue this
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: is they promised it would or hoped that would go
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 2: on between four to six. WEEKS i believe in week number.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: EIGHT i want to, say so about two months into this,
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 2: conflict AND i ask you the. QUESTION i turn it
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 2: over to you and your expertise in your opinion on
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 2: where do we go from? Here because they said four
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 2: to six weeks and we're still involved. There we continue
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: to try to negotiate with whatever. Leader now that we're
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 2: fifty people deep into their roster for The ayatola and
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: this regime that was running the nation Of, iran and
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: we don't know exactly who the leaders. Are we get
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 2: different agreements and different proposals and negotiations from different people
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: every Time Donald trump still wants to negotiate with, them
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 2: when we're now battling with this strait of horror. Moves
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 2: and now we have This Project, freedom which is allowing
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: the safe passage of ships in and out of, there
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 2: so that will help the economy, here will drive oil
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 2: prices back down when things start flowing normally through, there
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 2: while we blockade things coming in and out of the
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: nation Of iran, itself because that is their, economy the
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 2: oil industry that's, stockpiling by the, way all the refineries
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 2: that they, have all the oil production that they, have
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 2: AND i ran it's sitting. There we're not buying that.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: Oil we're allowing the flow of other oil from around the,
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: world and by the, way seeing a lot of shifts
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 2: coming here to THE us OF, a which is another
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 2: reason why we're seeing high gas prices because we're not
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 2: the only ones now using our own. Oil we're now
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: selling it to other people on the global, market which
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: in the long term is going to be really, cool
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 2: but for, now in the short, time it's going to
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: be a bit of a strain on us with the
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: demand that's increased for what we, Have SO i turn
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: it over to you and ask what is the future of.
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 2: This my personal OPINION i have been saying for a,
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 2: while AND i called this at the very beginning as,
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: well the only that this would end is a regime.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: Change AND i don't mean by, us by you, know
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: putting in our own people and trying to do a
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 2: regime change like we have said we've not wanted to.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 2: Do and A trump administration that does not want long
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: term conflict and does not want to be part of
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 2: a regime, change Like Pete hegseth has said that his,
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 2: generation our, generation we've done, That we've been, there we
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 2: don't want anything to do with.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 10: It.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: Again that's not the type of situation we're. In but
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 2: if we end this Entire muslim Radicalized islamist regime and, say,
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: hey people Of, iran you're not Predominantly, muslim you're not Predominantly.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 2: Islamist they've tried to convert you for the past forty,
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 2: players but you're predominantly still not that religion and not that.
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 2: Ideology You're, Persian you're You're, arabian You're, Aaryan you're these
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: different belief systems and different people Of iran with a,
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 2: long rich and beautiful. History you are not predominantly or
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 2: Historically muslim Or. Islamist let's get rid of this government
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: regime and then make sure that no other nations come
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: in to create a vacuum in. There but, say, Hey persian,
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 2: people hey Original, iranians do your. Thing and in my,
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 2: opinion whether you agree with that's what we should do or,
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 2: not my, opinion that's the only thing that will end.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: This Because Donald trump has said it in his own
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: statement that we're negotiating with these, people and then they
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 2: turn around and, say, no we don't talk to The,
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: president we don't talk To. America and then they try
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 2: to do this negotiation and they give this peace proposal
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: and then they end up not abiding by, it kind
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 2: of Like Vladimir putin In. Russia he's, like, oh, yeah
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 2: we'll stop bombing On, ukraine will stop bombing the apartment
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: complexes and everything. Else and then while he's saying that
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 2: they have drones out there blowing up apartment complexes and killing,
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 2: civilians which is. Crazy and THE, un by the, way
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: another example twenty four hundred and eighty, five why The
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: United nations is a worthless organization because they do absolutely.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 2: Nothing we should dismantle THE. Un we should pull out
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 2: of THE un and just destroy the entire concepts global
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 2: governance because it doesn't do. Anything putin has core committed
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 2: more crimes against humanity than anybody else in Modern america
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: or modern, age and we have done. Nothing Why because
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 2: they're on the board For crimes against humanity or the
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 2: humanitarian organizations and boards on THE, un and they're not
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: going to vote against themselves saying that they're committing crimes against.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 2: Humanity so it's never going to. Work that concept will
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: never function or never be. Successful but back to Why,
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 2: iran they're never going to follow through or abide. Bye
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 2: they have never followed through with any of The iranian,
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: deals the deals that they made With Barack obama back
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 2: in the, day with the deals they made With trump
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 2: in the first, administration with the deals they made With
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: Joe biden and his, administration they've never abided by. It
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 2: they don't understand the basic concept of the rule of
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 2: law that you write down something on a piece of
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: paper and that you have to abide by. It you
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: have to have self restraint to not bridge what is
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: written on that piece of. Paper they don't understand that
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 2: concept to. Them it's still kind of The Stone age
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: where the dictators where the. Authoritarians we're going to do
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 2: what we want to well execute the people that we
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 2: want will impose tariffs or impose, taxes and the people
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 2: that we want will start war when we want because
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: we just have our own agenda and that's really the
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: nation Of iran and how it's gonna. Work so in my,
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: opinion it's never gonna stop until that's. Done and they
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 2: don't want to do. That they're trying to, negotiate they're
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 2: trying to play, nice but at some point we have
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: to say enough is. Enough And Donald, TRUMP i don't
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 2: know when that threshold is for. Him obviously he's privy
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: to more information THAN i. Am but just by observation
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 2: the third party outsider looking at the thirty thousand foot
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: view right, now that's the only way this is going to.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: End AND i don't know if they have the political
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: capital to do something like. That Pete hegsef with The
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 2: department Of war made a statement earlier today with a
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 2: press statement to kickoff the morning as, well and was
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: talking about where we're at right.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 11: Now iran is the clear aggressor harassing civilian, vessels threatening
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 11: mariners from every, nation, indiscriminately and weaponizing a critical choke
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 11: point for its own financial, benefit at least trying. To
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 11: for too, Long iran has been harassing, ships shooting at
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 11: civilian tankers from all, nations and trying to impose a tolling.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 11: System iran's plan a form of international extortion is. Unacceptable
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 11: that ends With Project. Freedom TWO us commercial ships along
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 11: With american destroyers have already safely transited the straight showing
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 11: the lane is. Clear we know The iranians are embarrassed
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 11: by this, fact.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 2: All, Right so that was his statement earlier, today is
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 2: that working Is Project freedom going to be the savior
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 2: to get things going. Again it's going to temporarily maybe
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 2: save the economy or get gas prices back down by
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 2: the flow of oil through that straight. Again but it
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 2: doesn't solve the. Issue it doesn't solve the main, issue
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 2: which is we have a regime that continues to be rabbel,
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: rousers not abide by any agreement that we shake hands, to,
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 2: completely not even admit publicly the conversations that they're having
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 2: with The trump. Administration, well they can to do their own.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 2: Thing and, again the only solution there is to end
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 2: the regime and, say, Hey Iranian persian, people go do
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 2: your thing again and take your country. Back and until that's,
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 2: DONE i don't. Know it seems like we're trying to
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 2: beat around the bush and do everything except what needs
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 2: to be. Done and right, now with the popularity of
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 2: this conflict In iran that apparently is now in the
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 2: approval ratings lower Than vietnam Or korea with our conflicts,
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 2: there we have to do. Something this is not a
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: good look for the midterm. Season this is not a
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: good look for the quote unquote affordability agenda trying to
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 2: get our economy back on. Track When Donald trump says
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 2: that Most americans are willing to pay the higher gas
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 2: prices to make sure nuclear weapons aren't obtained By, IRAN i,
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 2: Agree but this is not supposed to be a long term,
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 2: thing and they keep saying it's not going to Be
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 2: so when is it going to be? Done now that
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 2: we're eight nine weeks into it and you promise for
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 2: it to six? Weeks AND i don't mean to badger
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: The trump administration because OVERWHELMINGLY i support what they're, doing
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: but come, on do what we're good at. DOING i
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 2: want to see an operation kind of like The Nicholas maduro.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: THING i want to go. IN i want to eliminate
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: it and get out and be done with. It the
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 2: first bombing we had at that nuclear site was kind of, awesome.
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 2: Right it happened in the dead to, night no one
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: really expected. It we flew over. That and this is
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 2: before the, conflict about a year. Ago, Right they flew in,
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: there blew up the uranium site and boom was out. Done, like,
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 2: hey we're not starting to long term, More we're getting this.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 2: Done we're making sure they don't have any type of
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 2: nuclear it's nuclear capabilities in some. Fashion then we were
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 2: concerned that that might be continuing in that regime that's
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 2: just not getting along with anybody. Else we have to
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 2: put a tamper to. Them we want them to kneel
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 2: and recognize their lack of ability and recognize that they're
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 2: not working well with the global. Stage. Cool where are
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 2: we at with that project freedom and protecting and doing
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 2: the blockade and allowing the freedom of flow through that
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 2: Straight that's a great. Step if that's what our plan
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 2: is right, now then that's what the long term move
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 2: is going to. Be is let's just stay there and
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 2: just protect the straight AS i ran continues to be
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 2: the nuisance in the. Region what are we, doing, man
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 2: what are we? Doing where's the end of this look
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 2: and how do we fix? That because we want the
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 2: economy done, here especially for, midterms to look better and
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 2: get things back on, track and we do want we
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 2: can't isolate. Ourselves what are the ISSUES i? Have AND
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 2: i want to go To Marjorie Taylor green for just a.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: Moment she spoke at The Ron Paul institute For peace And.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 2: Prosperity now to, Preface i'm a fan Of Ron. Paul
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 2: i'm a fan of the libertarian. MOVEMENT i think that
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 2: they're sometimes so ideologically driven they don't understand how to
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 2: turn their ideology into progress and. Productivity and that's the
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 2: problem with most. Libertarians but, OVERALL i consider myself A,
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 2: conservetorian AND i agree with people Like rand And Ron.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 2: PAUL i agree with people Like Thomas. MASSEY i used
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 2: to agree a lot With Marjorie Taylor, green but you,
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 2: know they have to find a way to be more
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 2: productive with how to implement their actual. Agenda she says
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 2: that all of this global issue is a turning away
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 2: of The America first, agenda AND i don't necessarily agree
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 2: with that. Mindset that's what she said just a few days.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 2: Ago SO i.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 14: Ran For congress believing in this concept of Make america great.
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 14: Again and to, me that meant our. Businesses to, me
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 14: that meant how our tax dollars are. Spent and to
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 14: me that meant for our own families and our future
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 14: and for our. Country i'm also a great believer in state,
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 14: rights AND i believe that the federal government has grown
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 14: into it started out as a cute little puppy back
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 14: in seventeen seventy, six one that was so.
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 10: Lovable but over these, years.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 14: It's grown into a giant monster that eats all the
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 14: food in your kitchen and your, pantry goes to the,
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 14: bathroom all over your, house choose up your sofa, cushions
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 14: and basically destroys your. Home that's what our federal government,
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 14: is all.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 2: Right SO i don't know what she's talking about, there but, look,
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 2: Ideologically i'm sure that most of us listening to this
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 2: pro here on The Tom starns radio, show most of
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 2: us agree with that. Mindset government is too. Big we
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 2: should bring power back to the statewide level and we
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 2: want The America first, agenda and we want the idea
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 2: Of america first by focusing on our domestic. ISSUES i
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 2: completely agree with all of. That the problem is With
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 2: Marjorie Taylor, green and With Ron, paul and With Rand,
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 2: paul and With Thomas, massey WHOM i adore AND i
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 2: appreciate AND i stand with them, ideologically they don't understand
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 2: that there are greater things out there as well that
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 2: you have to, address whether we like it or. Not
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 2: we live in a globalized, economy which means issues with
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 2: foreign policy and trade issues and tariff, issues and debt
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 2: issues and people buying our debt and buying our, bonds
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 2: and foreign threats and. Terrorism all of that is related
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 2: to how well we are here on the domestic. Front so,
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 2: yes you have to be involved in those issues in
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 2: order to focus on The America first. Agenda that's kind
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 2: of common. Sense, now you cannot be what they're advocating.
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 2: For in the purest mindset of an isolationist, nation we
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 2: don't care what's going on anywhere on the. World we're
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 2: just gonna focus on right. Here and that's not the
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 2: way that things work. Today because, IDEOLOGICALLY i agree with
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 2: everything the problem they have is that they don't see
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 2: that everything is. Interconnected because if we just Allow iran
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 2: to have this straight in to dominate and to threaten
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 2: and to do what they, do and we're, like, no,
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 2: no we don't want to rock THAT u. Belt we
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 2: want cheaper gas prices, here we don't want that to impact.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 2: Us we're just gonna let them continue to be corrupt
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 2: and crazy out. There that's not good. Policy and it's
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 2: unfortunate to see a lot of these purists walking away
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 2: from THE maga, movement walking away from The trump. Administration
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 2: but we have to answer the, Question trump, administration what
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 2: is the long term play here For? Iran and negotiating
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 2: and trying to talk with them doesn't, Work so what's
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 2: the next step in making this? Happen nine oh one
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six nine o one
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 2: two six zero five to nine two. Six it is
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 2: The Tom Sterns Radio. Program back after. This all, right
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 2: welcome back to The Taskarns Radio. Program got a few
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 2: minutes left here if you want to jump on the.
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 2: Show looking at headlines ON Dred report right, now it
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 2: shows that apparently the ceasefire not doing well With. Iran,
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 2: coincidentally according To pete Haig. Zeffi he, says we are
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 2: still in a semi quasi kind of sort of, ceasefire
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 2: but it's not working out Where iran continues to taunt
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 2: and have been launching more. Missiles so, obviously again shocker
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 2: not following along with the ceasefire or agreeing to, anything because,
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 2: well they just don't listen to anyone at any, point
