0:46
Speaker 2: with us. I want you to write down our telephone number.
0:48
Speaker 2: You will need this if you plan on calling in today.
0:52
Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. Again,
0:56
Speaker 2: that's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
0:59
Speaker 2: So we're following several breaking news stories, of course, the
1:04
Speaker 2: very latest from the Middle East, and we're going to
1:06
Speaker 2: get into more of that in just a few moments
1:08
Speaker 2: with our good buddy, retired General Brigadier General John Tigert,
1:13
Speaker 2: who will be along to explain what happened over the
1:16
Speaker 2: weekend and where we are right now in this war
1:20
Speaker 2: with Iran that's coming up in just a little while.
1:24
Speaker 2: Right now, though, we're following this breaking news out of
1:27
Speaker 2: New York City where an anti ice terrorist tried to
1:33
Speaker 2: blow up something in front of the federal building in
1:37
Speaker 2: Lower Manhattan. And I would walk by that building many, many,
1:42
Speaker 2: many times over the years that I lived in New
1:45
Speaker 2: York City. I know that area quite well, just a
1:48
Speaker 2: block over from the New York City Hall and a
1:52
Speaker 2: block over from the World Trade Center site. And the video,
1:58
Speaker 2: and we have the video at tod Star. We had
2:00
Speaker 2: the video of the guy throwing the device that set
2:06
Speaker 2: off even more of an explosion. There was a lot
2:08
Speaker 2: of fire. We've got the video of that at Todd
2:10
Speaker 2: Sterns dot com as well. Encourage you to check that out.
2:14
Speaker 2: And then we have video of federal agents swarming the suspect.
2:19
Speaker 2: Will appear to be a guy I don't know. He
2:23
Speaker 2: looked to be south from south of the border. But
2:25
Speaker 2: we'll find out more information about the suspect, no doubt
2:28
Speaker 2: about that. Anyway. We have video of that guy being
2:32
Speaker 2: taken into custody, and the FBI is now saying this
2:36
Speaker 2: was an act of terrorism. This was an act directed
2:40
Speaker 2: towards immigration customers, enforcement officers, and at least three people
2:46
Speaker 2: that we know of were injured. One of those people
2:49
Speaker 2: had to be taken to the hospital. They're all going
2:51
Speaker 2: to be okay. These are non life threatening injuries, but
2:54
Speaker 2: no doubt a terrifying situation there for morning commuters. I
2:59
Speaker 2: think it happened around nine o'clock Eastern this morning, so
3:02
Speaker 2: a lot of people on the sidewalks when all of
3:06
Speaker 2: this went down. Let me just say right out of
3:10
Speaker 2: the gate that the suspect's not the only one who
3:14
Speaker 2: ought to be arrested here. I mean, if you want
3:17
Speaker 2: to talk about if you want to talk about people responsible,
3:20
Speaker 2: we need to have a conversation about the Democrats that
3:24
Speaker 2: have been going out of their way calling ICE agents
3:28
Speaker 2: brown shirts, stormtroopers, Nazis. We need to start holding these
3:34
Speaker 2: elected leaders accountable for the vitriol that's spewing out of
3:38
Speaker 2: their filthy mouths. We also we also ought to be
3:43
Speaker 2: taking a long, hard look at the propagandist in the
3:46
Speaker 2: mainstream media, the people that are using their megaphones to
3:52
Speaker 2: broadcast these lies about these federal agents. I got to
3:56
Speaker 2: tell you, I'm not surprised by what happened. I'm really
3:58
Speaker 2: not surprise there have not been more attacks directed at
4:02
Speaker 2: ICE agents. So coming up a little bit later, we're
4:05
Speaker 2: gonna be talking to Greg Bavino, who was the former
4:08
Speaker 2: Border chief and Customs and Border Patrol chief, and he's
4:13
Speaker 2: got a lot of things to say about this. We're
4:16
Speaker 2: gonna sit down with him for an exclusive interview. And
4:19
Speaker 2: by the way, Baveno's also very very upset over what's
4:23
Speaker 2: happening on the deportation side of the administration. He says
4:29
Speaker 2: that right now they are softening their efforts to deport
4:33
Speaker 2: the illegals, ladies and gentlemen. That is a very bad mistake.
4:36
Speaker 2: And this is look, this is coming from people. President
4:39
Speaker 2: Trump puts people in charge of these agencies and it's
4:43
Speaker 2: then up to the agencies to follow through. The President
4:46
Speaker 2: can't be doing he can't micro manage every single department.
4:50
Speaker 2: So whatever is happening or is not happening, that's on
4:54
Speaker 2: the people the President put in charge of these these agencies.
4:58
Speaker 2: So we're gonna get into that with Greg, you know,
5:00
Speaker 2: a little bit later on. We'll keep you updated on
5:02
Speaker 2: this crazy story out of out of New York City.
5:07
Speaker 2: So I wrote something over the weekend that went a
5:11
Speaker 2: little viral, uh, and by a little viral, it went
5:15
Speaker 2: a lot viral. And I normally, Dylan, I normally try
5:19
Speaker 2: not to post on my personal Facebook page only because
5:23
Speaker 2: so many of our so many people I know, are
5:28
Speaker 2: not exactly what's the word I'm looking for, conservative or
5:34
Speaker 2: open minded I And so I thought, you know, I'm
5:38
Speaker 2: going to step back and I will leave my personal
5:41
Speaker 2: page for personal stuff. So I ended up I ended
5:46
Speaker 2: up writing something on my personal page and for some
5:49
Speaker 2: and I did it inadvertently. I thought I had actually
5:52
Speaker 2: done it on the main Facebook fan page where we've
5:54
Speaker 2: got almost a half a million people that follow us,
5:57
Speaker 2: and that that just exploded, and what I wrote on
6:01
Speaker 2: my personal page exploded, and I wanted to just, I
6:05
Speaker 2: don't know, to share it with you and share some
6:07
Speaker 2: thoughts because something happened over the weekend that really bothered
6:11
Speaker 2: me and it just caught my attention, and I'm curious
6:15
Speaker 2: to hear your thoughts on this. And it really is
6:18
Speaker 2: a warning for Christians, specifically Jews. Yes you're in this too,
6:25
Speaker 2: but it really impacts Christians more so. And I'll get
6:29
Speaker 2: to that in just a moment. But something happened over
6:32
Speaker 2: the weekend and I thought, you know, this needs to
6:36
Speaker 2: be addressed. Ironically, I wrote about this very theme and
6:40
Speaker 2: this subject matter in my upcoming book, The Golden Age,
6:43
Speaker 2: how Trump saved America and it involves socialism. Now, over
6:50
Speaker 2: the weekend, we had Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortes and she
6:56
Speaker 2: was she was in town campaigning for a radical progressive,
7:01
Speaker 2: a socialist candidate by the name of Justin Pearson. You
7:04
Speaker 2: might have seen him in the news. He's a black dude, skinny,
7:07
Speaker 2: black dude, massive power frow. You might have kind of
7:11
Speaker 2: looks like a Pez Dispenser. Right, It's just it's really
7:14
Speaker 2: odd so that no, it's just I mean, he does
7:17
Speaker 2: it like a Pez Dispenser. And this is the guy
7:21
Speaker 2: you know who talks, who went to Boding College in
7:24
Speaker 2: Maine and comes from a very very affluent background. And
7:29
Speaker 2: now all of a sudden, he's like, I want you
7:32
Speaker 2: to think he came from the hood. And so he's
7:34
Speaker 2: adopted this this accent that is just simply not his accent.
7:39
Speaker 2: And then AOC comes down and AOC was leaning this
7:44
Speaker 2: big rally. They had over a thousand people turnout and
7:47
Speaker 2: it was held inside of a large church, a black
7:51
Speaker 2: megachurch in the Memphis in Memphis proper within the city limits.
7:56
Speaker 2: And Iona Presley was a part of this gathering and
8:00
Speaker 2: also Congress Gal Summerlee, who is from Pennsylvania. So anyway,
8:05
Speaker 2: they're up there, and I sat down and watched. It
8:08
Speaker 2: was like a two and a half hour thing. It
8:10
Speaker 2: was incredibly long. And so the pastor gets up and
8:15
Speaker 2: the pastor announces to the congregation that Jesus was a
8:21
Speaker 2: socialist and therefore they should be socialist, and it really
8:28
Speaker 2: caught my attention. They had again over a thousand people.
8:32
Speaker 2: It's new direction Christian Church, and AOC came back and
8:38
Speaker 2: reiterated what the preacher was talking about about how being
8:42
Speaker 2: a socialist is a Christian thing to be and it
8:47
Speaker 2: was shocking to me because most of the crowd was applauning,
8:51
Speaker 2: I mean just applauding. Was really shocking. And then I
8:59
Speaker 2: started looking at some of the other events that were
9:01
Speaker 2: happening political events around Memphis, and I'm curious what it
9:03
Speaker 2: is like in your community, because I noticed that a
9:07
Speaker 2: good many black churches in Memphis are holding rallies and
9:12
Speaker 2: events and promoting these Democrat candidates, some of whom are
9:16
Speaker 2: in fact socialists. The pastor again said the Bible calls
9:23
Speaker 2: for Christians to be socialists, and the audience cheered. Now,
9:30
Speaker 2: the truth is when you look at what's happening many
9:33
Speaker 2: black pastors and predominantly black churches. And I'm not saying
9:37
Speaker 2: all of them, but many of them have been mobilized
9:42
Speaker 2: and they are engaged in the political process across the nation,
9:47
Speaker 2: and they are committed to electing these radical democrats. Not
9:50
Speaker 2: all of them, again, but most. And I finally figured
9:56
Speaker 2: it out what's going on over the weekend. I didn't
9:59
Speaker 2: really think about it in this context. But this is
10:03
Speaker 2: one of the reasons why Republicans are not winning elections
10:06
Speaker 2: in places like Memphis, because they don't realize they're not
10:10
Speaker 2: just running against the candidates, they are running against the
10:14
Speaker 2: black pastors, and they are running against that machine. It
10:19
Speaker 2: is a powerful machine. Meanwhile, and I'm only saying and
10:24
Speaker 2: I'm not saying this to attack anybody. These are just
10:27
Speaker 2: my observations here. Meanwhile, you've got a generation of pastors
10:32
Speaker 2: that came out of these woke seminaries. And let me
10:35
Speaker 2: just say this, I'm a Southern Baptist, so I know
10:37
Speaker 2: a little something about this. Many of them are our seminaries,
10:43
Speaker 2: and unfortunately, many of the pastors that come through Southern
10:47
Speaker 2: Baptist seminaries end up pastoring and other denomination. So they
10:50
Speaker 2: bring that wokeness and it spreads in pulpits all across
10:54
Speaker 2: the country. And that's one of the reasons why you've
11:00
Speaker 2: seen so many I don't know, Christian churches disengage. And
11:03
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the evangelical conservatives. You've got the main
11:08
Speaker 2: line the High Church. You're the Episcopalians and the Methodists
11:11
Speaker 2: and all those folks. The Lutherans by and large, you
11:16
Speaker 2: guys are liberal, and you guys are engaged in the
11:20
Speaker 2: process too. I mean most of the Episcopal churches. I
11:23
Speaker 2: don't think any straight people actually go to Episcopal churches anymore.
11:27
Speaker 2: I think they're all kind of you know. No, not
11:30
Speaker 2: that there's anything wrong with that, No, I'm just saying
11:32
Speaker 2: it's just that's kind of the reality of it. So anyway,
11:39
Speaker 2: you've got Republican candidates and they're being shunned by these
11:43
Speaker 2: white churches and white pastors. I'm not saying all, but
11:47
Speaker 2: I am saying most. Meanwhile, black churches they're openly embracing
11:52
Speaker 2: their candidates. And by and large, the white church community
11:57
Speaker 2: has opted to completely of void cultural issues that plague
12:03
Speaker 2: our community. So instead of being salt and light, they
12:06
Speaker 2: are serving up a sodium free message. Again, not all
12:10
Speaker 2: white churches, but most. Now I want you to hear
12:14
Speaker 2: me on this. This is not about turning your Sunday
12:16
Speaker 2: service into a political arena. But it is teaching what
12:20
Speaker 2: the Bible says about the big issues of the day.
12:24
Speaker 2: It is talking about the issues that are impacting our
12:27
Speaker 2: community and our schools and our families. It's about teaching
12:34
Speaker 2: Christians how to vote their values at the ballot box.
12:40
Speaker 2: And it's also about informing our elected leaders here's what
12:43
Speaker 2: we expect from them as Christian citizens. And I suspect
12:49
Speaker 2: many preachers and churches in these cities have been bullied
12:53
Speaker 2: into silence. They're afraid of the criticism they might get
12:57
Speaker 2: by sharing what the Bible says about a particular culture issue.
13:02
Speaker 2: But I will say that when you do that, I
13:05
Speaker 2: think that our community actually suffers because so many churches
13:10
Speaker 2: that have heavily conservative congregations have just disengaged from the debate.
13:16
Speaker 2: They've opted out. And I just encourage you to look
13:21
Speaker 2: at what's happened across our country over the past twenty years,
13:25
Speaker 2: where the churches rapidly just evacuated from the public marketplace.
13:31
Speaker 2: And I want you to take a look at the
13:32
Speaker 2: moral rot and cultural decay. That's haampaning. I know there
13:36
Speaker 2: are some churches here in here in this area, in
13:42
Speaker 2: the Memphis area, and I'm not going to name denominations.
13:45
Speaker 2: I'm not because it's not about that, but I will
13:49
Speaker 2: just tell you that they will say that their big
13:52
Speaker 2: thing is sharing the Gospel and that's how we're going
13:56
Speaker 2: to change the culture. Well, I'm just going to say this,
14:01
Speaker 2: you're not doing a very good job of it because
14:05
Speaker 2: the city has gone to hell in a handbasket. So
14:10
Speaker 2: whatever you're doing, it's not working, is what I'm trying
14:13
Speaker 2: to say. And all I know is that the pastoral
14:17
Speaker 2: silence on the big issues of the day have contributed
14:21
Speaker 2: in part to what the nation has become and what
14:24
Speaker 2: Memphis has become. The most dangerous city, the most deadly
14:26
Speaker 2: city in America. I mean, the silence has literally turned
14:30
Speaker 2: out a generation of children who cannot read at grade level.
14:35
Speaker 2: The silence has driven thousands of people from urban centers
14:38
Speaker 2: across America. If only our churches had the courage of
14:44
Speaker 2: President Trump. I mean, the man sees what's happening in
14:47
Speaker 2: the country, he's taking action, he's doing what needs to
14:51
Speaker 2: be done, and he really doesn't care what the folks
14:54
Speaker 2: down at the country club are going to think. He
14:56
Speaker 2: took us stand regardless of the cost. And I just
15:01
Speaker 2: have to say that politics is all about narratives. And
15:09
Speaker 2: when you have more than a thousand people in a
15:11
Speaker 2: church cheering as the preacher calls Jesus a socialist, we
15:15
Speaker 2: need to pay attention to that. We need to pay
15:19
Speaker 2: attention to that because I'm telling you there was standing
15:23
Speaker 2: romonly in that crowd. And when you look around a
15:25
Speaker 2: lot of the mega churches across America that are on
15:28
Speaker 2: the conservative side, let me just say this, I don't
15:31
Speaker 2: see standing romonely crowds. So this is not about telling
15:37
Speaker 2: a congregation to vote Democrat or Republican. It's not even
15:40
Speaker 2: about black or white. This is about teaching Christians to
15:43
Speaker 2: vote their values. And if we do not do that,
15:46
Speaker 2: socialism will eventually take over. And this is why it's
15:50
Speaker 2: so vitally important for you to understand this concept. Under
15:55
Speaker 2: socialist regimes, going back to Karl Marx, Christians are the
16:00
Speaker 2: first to suffer. The first thing they will do is
16:04
Speaker 2: shut down our churches. And they know they can do
16:06
Speaker 2: that because so many of you just handed over the
16:09
Speaker 2: keys to your church during the China virus pandemic, so
16:12
Speaker 2: they know they're not going to have any issue shutting
16:14
Speaker 2: down the churches. But then they're going to start going
16:16
Speaker 2: after the Christians. They're going to start going after the pastors.
16:20
Speaker 2: Tens of thousands of pastors of Orthodox preachers, seminarians were slaughtered,
16:27
Speaker 2: sent to the gulags in the early days of the
16:31
Speaker 2: Soviet Union. That's what's going on. I got so much
16:33
Speaker 2: more to say about this. Nine oh one two six
16:35
Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. This is the Todd Stern Show.
16:38
Speaker 3: Every generation must decide whether it will recognize deceit before
16:43
Speaker 3: it becomes normal. This weekend, Salem News Channels America two
16:48
Speaker 3: fifty film series presents The Fall of Deceit, a sobering
16:52
Speaker 3: documentary on government overreach, faith under pressure, and the cost
16:57
Speaker 3: of abandoning truth. Watch Saturday on Sunday at seventy pm
17:01
Speaker 3: Eastern on Salem NewsChannel.
17:17
Speaker 2: All right, let's go right to the phones. Annie and Hendersonville,
17:20
Speaker 2: North Carolina. W h KP are great affiliate. Hi Annie,
17:24
Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
17:26
Speaker 4: Hi? Todd, I'll thought real fast. This socialism, communism, we
17:31
Speaker 4: need to call this democrats socialism.
17:35
Speaker 5: What it is?
17:36
Speaker 4: It is not a redistribution of wealth, and it is
17:40
Speaker 4: not social justice. For these black pastors and any other
17:44
Speaker 4: pastors getting behind this stuff, it is against god commandments.
17:49
Speaker 4: This socialism is bearing false witness. And it is also coveting.
17:56
Speaker 4: Taking from someone who has worked for what they have
18:00
Speaker 4: earned and getting it to someone else is fevery and
18:04
Speaker 4: it is coveting. Now, if we're not careful with this
18:08
Speaker 4: socialism rise, we're gonna have ourselves a nationwide Jim Jones cult,
18:14
Speaker 4: because that's what that was. That was communism. Also, Todd,
18:18
Speaker 4: my last point, there's a movie from nineteen sixty eight
18:23
Speaker 4: called Wild in the Streets which is eerily similar to
18:27
Speaker 4: what's going on with our government, in which young people
18:31
Speaker 4: felt that anyone over thirty five needed to be put
18:36
Speaker 4: in some kind of commune. Yes, put out of the way,
18:41
Speaker 4: and it was led by Max frost A.
18:45
Speaker 2: I remember that. No, No, No, Annie, I remember that movie,
18:48
Speaker 2: and I remember watching it as a kid. Scared the
18:51
Speaker 2: living daylights out of me. Annie, I got a run.
18:53
Speaker 2: But thank you for that call. Hang tight, everybody. This
18:57
Speaker 2: is the Tom Sterns Radio Show. All right, welcome back, everybody.
19:17
Speaker 2: This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Happy to have
19:19
Speaker 2: you with us today, a very busy news day. I
19:22
Speaker 2: still have about seventy more minutes worth of commentary on
19:27
Speaker 2: the rise of socialism and what happened in that church
19:29
Speaker 2: over the weekend, and we're going to get to that
19:31
Speaker 2: a little bit later on in the program. However, we
19:35
Speaker 2: have been following some breaking news coming out of the
19:37
Speaker 2: Middle East, a very dangerous and deadly situation as Iran
19:43
Speaker 2: continues to target US military bases. At least two people
19:48
Speaker 2: were killed a third missing in a strike on a
19:51
Speaker 2: US base in Jordan. Well, I want to bring into
19:54
Speaker 2: the conversation on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line today our
19:58
Speaker 2: good friend, retired Brigadier General John Tigert Dragon. Good to
20:02
Speaker 2: have you with us today.
20:04
Speaker 6: Todd, Thank you so much again for having me. I
20:06
Speaker 6: love being on all right.
20:08
Speaker 2: I've got a lot of questions and I've got a
20:11
Speaker 2: lot of thoughts. I want to go back to April eighth,
20:14
Speaker 2: when the President, the White House, the Pentagon, they all
20:19
Speaker 2: said that Iran's ability to launch ballistic missiles and drones
20:25
Speaker 2: had been completely destroyed. And I'm wondering what has changed
20:30
Speaker 2: since April April the eighth, Seeing how the Iranians used
20:34
Speaker 2: a ballistic missile and drones to attack our service members.
20:40
Speaker 6: Todd, going way back to early April, Wow, what the
20:43
Speaker 6: President said was mostly true. There was still some residual
20:47
Speaker 6: capability even way back then that the irradience could use
20:51
Speaker 6: to launch missiles and launch drones. But during the three
20:55
Speaker 6: and a half month period of the ceasefire, they have
20:58
Speaker 6: some extent been able to reconstantu that means dig out
21:01
Speaker 6: missiles that they had hit underground or drones where they
21:05
Speaker 6: did the exact same thing so that they would not
21:08
Speaker 6: get immediately destroyed by US strikes. And now they are
21:11
Speaker 6: stitching that capability together and they're using it to do
21:15
Speaker 6: what they always try to do, which is to try
21:17
Speaker 6: to kill Americans, and very tragically, over the course of
21:20
Speaker 6: the weekend, they successfully did that, killing at least two Americans,
21:24
Speaker 6: probably a third and then a fourth in a de
21:27
Speaker 6: arming accident in Iraq. But you go back forty seven years, Todd,
21:32
Speaker 6: the entire rationale of the regime in Iran has been
21:36
Speaker 6: to fulfill that chant of death to America. They've had
21:40
Speaker 6: residual capability. We let them off the hook three and
21:43
Speaker 6: a half months ago, and now to some extent we're
21:45
Speaker 6: paying the price.
21:46
Speaker 2: Well, well we are, and I'm with you. I think
21:49
Speaker 2: we should take them at their word when they say
21:51
Speaker 2: death to America, death to Israel. And yet our vice
21:55
Speaker 2: president is out there saying, you know, we need to
21:58
Speaker 2: be able to trust these folks. I'm I'm just I
22:01
Speaker 2: am very puzzled by all of this, the fact that
22:05
Speaker 2: we've had these ceasefire after ceasefire after ceasefire, when the
22:09
Speaker 2: Iranians have no intention of honoring their word. Todd.
22:15
Speaker 6: Even today there is new talk of the potential of
22:19
Speaker 6: a ten day ceasefire. But I don't know why we
22:21
Speaker 6: would expect this ten day cease fire would work when
22:25
Speaker 6: the previous two months ceasefire at MoU was in utter failure,
22:29
Speaker 6: and the last four months of ceasefire has been an
22:32
Speaker 6: utter failure. And going back to the beginning of April
22:35
Speaker 6: that ceasefire, when we stopped major combat operations, there was
22:39
Speaker 6: one and only one precondition that Iran would open up
22:42
Speaker 6: the straight up hermus no strings attached. They never did,
22:46
Speaker 6: and we never held them accountable. And I don't know
22:48
Speaker 6: why we would dishonor the deaths of those two Americans,
22:52
Speaker 6: Private Gonzales and Lieutenant Fihen by assuming that all of
22:55
Speaker 6: a sudden Iran is going to negotiate in good faith
22:58
Speaker 6: when all they do is try to kill America, and
23:00
Speaker 6: sometimes they do so successfully.
23:01
Speaker 2: There is a New York Times piece, and I want
23:04
Speaker 2: to caveat this by saying, I don't think we need
23:07
Speaker 2: to know of every single move that the military is making.
23:11
Speaker 2: The enemy. They know how to google, they know how
23:13
Speaker 2: to read the New York Times of the Washington Post,
23:16
Speaker 2: so I don't necessarily have a problem with that. But
23:19
Speaker 2: the headline coming out of the New York Times today
23:22
Speaker 2: is the Pentagon is withholding dozens of US military injuries
23:26
Speaker 2: in the Iran war, and that has been a peculiar thing.
23:30
Speaker 2: There has not been a lot of information coming out
23:32
Speaker 2: about the war, and again that's not necessarily a bad thing.
23:36
Speaker 2: But if they're withholding things like injuries, you wonder exactly
23:41
Speaker 2: how are things going over there?
23:44
Speaker 6: Todd and my concern is the American public needs to
23:48
Speaker 6: understand the costs and the benefits of doing what we're
23:52
Speaker 6: trying to do in the Middle East. I'm a firm
23:54
Speaker 6: believer that we need to take out the regime because
23:58
Speaker 6: they have consistently tried to harm American for the last
24:00
Speaker 6: forty seven years, but the American people need to be
24:03
Speaker 6: explained the cost of doing so and why that cost
24:07
Speaker 6: may actually be worth it. And I go back to
24:10
Speaker 6: the idea todd that we to some extent have given
24:13
Speaker 6: or on. Even during major combat operations a sanctuary, we
24:17
Speaker 6: never struck energy sites or power plants, or major logistics
24:22
Speaker 6: or transportation nodes. The President promised that we would do so,
24:25
Speaker 6: but every time we came close, we found an off ramp.
24:29
Speaker 6: Last week, the President promised that we would start attacking
24:31
Speaker 6: those type of targets this week. Now. I hope with
24:34
Speaker 6: the death of those Americans this weekend, the President fulfills
24:38
Speaker 6: and is compelled to fulfill those promises that he's made
24:41
Speaker 6: all along.
24:42
Speaker 2: I just don't understand what the end game here is.
24:45
Speaker 2: I don't see the off ramp for us, and it's
24:49
Speaker 2: interesting on social media, I got attacked by a lot
24:52
Speaker 2: of the President's supporters over the weekend because I just
24:55
Speaker 2: simply quoted what the White House had told us going
24:58
Speaker 2: back to April eighth, and beyond that, back in February,
25:01
Speaker 2: when the President, who was frustrated with reporters, told them
25:05
Speaker 2: because they were asking how long do you anticipate this lasting?
25:08
Speaker 2: And the verbiage was maybe four five, six weeks at
25:14
Speaker 2: the most that this would go on, and here we
25:17
Speaker 2: are almost six months later, and I don't I don't
25:21
Speaker 2: see an insight to this, do.
25:23
Speaker 7: You, Todd?
25:24
Speaker 6: The only real way to ensure an end is in
25:28
Speaker 6: sight and succeeds here is if we find a way
25:31
Speaker 6: to take out the regime. Because they are who they
25:34
Speaker 6: are and who they say they are, they're going to
25:36
Speaker 6: continue to try to kill Americans. But there's two things
25:39
Speaker 6: the regime said today that are tells that we should
25:42
Speaker 6: follow up on. They said that we must not unleash
25:46
Speaker 6: the Kurds because there will be consequences. And number two,
25:50
Speaker 6: we must not strike carg Island because there will be consequences.
25:54
Speaker 6: They are trying to stop us from doing the things
25:56
Speaker 6: that would hurt the most, that would fundamentally undermind the regime,
26:01
Speaker 6: and that is least the Kurds and provide them top
26:03
Speaker 6: cover from the air and strangle the regime by taking
26:07
Speaker 6: out all of their sources of financing and export. And
26:10
Speaker 6: I think that we should take them at their word
26:12
Speaker 6: that while they may try to strike back, if we
26:15
Speaker 6: do those two things, then it undercuts the regime and
26:19
Speaker 6: can finally put us on a path of ending this
26:21
Speaker 6: conflict once and for all.
26:22
Speaker 2: No doubt, a lot of moms and dads are concerned,
26:25
Speaker 2: and I get that. You know they've got sons and
26:28
Speaker 2: daughters that are over there. Any movements that you see,
26:32
Speaker 2: there have been some reporting that perhaps more airplanes, more
26:36
Speaker 2: fighter jets, we're heading into the region. What are what
26:40
Speaker 2: are you seeing? What are you observing?
26:43
Speaker 5: Todd?
26:44
Speaker 6: Two things. Number One, I am seeing more offensive capability
26:48
Speaker 6: flow into the Middle East, which means either they're providing
26:52
Speaker 6: the president options or he intends to use those options
26:55
Speaker 6: for more kinetic strikes. And number two, for the last
26:58
Speaker 6: four nights, we've been king more operational level logistical sites
27:03
Speaker 6: around the Strait of her moves, which may either indicate
27:07
Speaker 6: that we're really working to eliminate Iron's power projection capability
27:11
Speaker 6: to threaten the Straight, or we're preparing the battlefield to
27:14
Speaker 6: seize some of those tactical and operational important islands around
27:18
Speaker 6: the Strait so that we can once and for all
27:20
Speaker 6: take control of that waterway. And I think the flow
27:23
Speaker 6: of aircraft in and capability in, and the fact that
27:28
Speaker 6: we're starting to strike those type of logistic nodes tell
27:30
Speaker 6: me that something is afoot that is different from what
27:33
Speaker 6: we saw in the original six weeks of the conflict.
27:35
Speaker 2: General Brigadier General John Tigert joining us on our Patriot
27:39
Speaker 2: Mobile Newsmaker line today. General, it just I just it
27:44
Speaker 2: just seems to me that there seems to be maybe hesitancy,
27:48
Speaker 2: and I'm wondering within the administration itself. I'm wondering if
27:51
Speaker 2: President Trump's getting a lot of a lot of intel
27:53
Speaker 2: on both sides of the issue, and maybe that's why
27:57
Speaker 2: we keep going back to these ceasefires that never work well.
28:01
Speaker 6: I think that he is getting conflicting advice and I
28:04
Speaker 6: think his gut when he keeps saying we're going to
28:07
Speaker 6: strike those targets that would completely erode the strength of
28:10
Speaker 6: the regime like energy, power, logistics, and transportation, I think
28:14
Speaker 6: that's his gut. He needs to follow his gut and
28:17
Speaker 6: not maybe some naysayers that are trying to hold back
28:20
Speaker 6: on the offensive capability of the United States. And if
28:23
Speaker 6: he follows his gut and he discounts those naysayers, then
28:26
Speaker 6: I think we will get closer to his strategic success
28:29
Speaker 6: for the United States than if he keeps listening to
28:31
Speaker 6: some of those competing opinions.
28:33
Speaker 2: But again, what you said regime change, that was originally
28:35
Speaker 2: not on the that was not on the agenda, that
28:37
Speaker 2: was not on the bucket list. It was just we're
28:39
Speaker 2: going to stop their nuclear program. And I don't even
28:43
Speaker 2: I mean, how do you even know if we've done that,
28:46
Speaker 2: knowing that they have missiles and drones hidden all over
28:49
Speaker 2: their country, Todd.
28:51
Speaker 6: I think that in some of the President's comments early on,
28:54
Speaker 6: he did talk about regime change, and I think we
28:57
Speaker 6: were on the verge of unleashing the Kurdish forces from
29:00
Speaker 6: Iraq until Turkey convinced the President to hold them back,
29:04
Speaker 6: and that could have been a catalyst for actual regime change.
29:07
Speaker 6: But going back to the nuclear issue, maybe the greatest
29:11
Speaker 6: success from President Trump in his second term was Operation
29:14
Speaker 6: Midnight Hammer and the decimation of Iran's nuclear program. I
29:18
Speaker 6: think it became uneffective and non capable a year ago,
29:23
Speaker 6: and I don't think it's an immediate or imminent threat now.
29:25
Speaker 6: But I do think that terrorist strikes from Iran or
29:28
Speaker 6: ballistic strikes from Iran are indeed imminent threats to our interests,
29:32
Speaker 6: which is why this fight is important and we need
29:36
Speaker 6: to finish the job by striking at the heart of
29:38
Speaker 6: the regime.
29:38
Speaker 2: All right, a General, we're going to have to leave
29:40
Speaker 2: it there. Where do you want to go? Pa, You've
29:42
Speaker 2: got books, you've written, all sorts of great work you're doing.
29:45
Speaker 2: Where would you like people to go to check out
29:46
Speaker 2: what you're up to?
29:48
Speaker 6: Well, Todd, I just appreciate you're my friend, but ask
29:50
Speaker 6: people to go to John Tiger dot com and you
29:53
Speaker 6: can find all of my writings and all of my speakings,
29:56

29:58
Speaker 6: me via that side place.
29:59
Speaker 2: All right, all right, Dragon, good to hear from you
30:01
Speaker 2: and my friend, and we appreciate as always the great
30:05
Speaker 2: analysis of Brigadier General John Tigert joining us on our
30:08
Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. All Right, we have got to
30:11
Speaker 2: take a break here, folks. Your reaction to what's happening
30:15
Speaker 2: in the Middle East? What do you want to recommend
30:17
Speaker 2: that the president? Do hear, folks? Because it looks to
30:20
Speaker 2: me like we are heading into a quagmire here, that's
30:25
Speaker 2: what That's what it looks like. And I think it's
30:28
Speaker 2: interesting that the general brought up the phrase conflicting conflicted information.
30:34
Speaker 2: You've got two sides that are and these are hardliners
30:39
Speaker 2: within the administration on both sides of the issue. Where
30:43
Speaker 2: do you stand, ladies and gentlemen, what do you think
30:45
Speaker 2: we ought to be doing here? Because one of the
30:48
Speaker 2: worst things that could happen is we get closer to
30:50
Speaker 2: the election and you see more and more American troops
30:54
Speaker 2: that are injured, that are killed, You're going to have
30:58
Speaker 2: an uprising among even the Republicans in this country. Nine

31:59
Speaker 2: Arkansas listening to us on Kamhi, Alice, what's on your mind?
32:05
Speaker 8: Oh, thank you mister Stein for taking my call. An
32:09
Speaker 8: age years old, a zero. And I want to tell
32:13
Speaker 8: you that once there was a Jonah, and Jonah was
32:19
Speaker 8: told to tell Nenebah to repent. God is God, He's
32:25
Speaker 8: still the Creator, he's still on the throne. He's still
32:29
Speaker 8: looking at everything. And may I tell you I'm a
32:32
Speaker 8: weather Purdue situation in America with the thirteen original companies.
32:38
Speaker 8: It's really true. There was a Spanish armada and they
32:43
Speaker 8: had decided they were going to come over the colonies.
32:49
Speaker 8: So to armadas, at least I don't know how many
32:53
Speaker 8: ships were in them, came near the showers. Now prior
32:57
Speaker 8: to this, Sir, I take the villa well aware of
33:01
Speaker 8: the great Awakening, and the colonists have gotten right with God.
33:07
Speaker 8: And as the ships approached the contredium, coming that God
33:12
Speaker 8: blew a wind, wondering, God, you liter be great and
33:17
Speaker 8: wind anyway half of him?
33:20
Speaker 2: Where shall Alice? Let me just say, we don't have
33:23
Speaker 2: a lot of time here, and I know that you
33:25
Speaker 2: had called in wanting to talk about uh, the US
33:29
Speaker 2: and and Iran. So if you can, let's let's go.
33:32
Speaker 2: You've got about thirty seconds here.
33:35
Speaker 8: Okay here, and God can show the problem.
33:43
Speaker 2: In this country, stir Alice, no doubt about that. And
33:49
Speaker 2: I can certainly hear the passion in your voice. Thank
33:51
Speaker 2: you for calling today, and we do, I think we do,
33:54
Speaker 2: and God can intervene here. Let's go to Anthony and Alabama.
33:59
Speaker 2: Anthony once on your.
34:00
Speaker 9: Mind, and thanks for thinking my call again, mister Starns.
34:04
Speaker 9: And God bless that woman because she's right. We needed
34:06
Speaker 9: a revival and I hope today's the one fine for you.
34:09
Speaker 9: But what I'm just going to say here is that
34:11
Speaker 9: you're not going to win this conflict unless boucher on
34:14
Speaker 9: the ground. I don't care how they do it, whether
34:16
Speaker 9: it's out boots or somebody else's boots, but any general
34:19
Speaker 9: in the past is going to tell you you don't
34:21
Speaker 9: win wars by bombing from the air. You cannot verify
34:25
Speaker 9: what's being done on the ground unless you have people
34:27
Speaker 9: on the ground. And as you can see, they were
34:29
Speaker 9: hiding things, and there's probably a whole lot of other
34:32
Speaker 9: things hidden. So I don't even think corpet bombing would
34:34
Speaker 9: to be fifty two or dropping a couple of noots
34:36
Speaker 9: is going to fix this. You've got to finish the job.
34:39
Speaker 9: If he doesn't finish this job, we're going to be
34:41
Speaker 9: toasted in those mid terms. Because it's because of Trumpet
34:45
Speaker 9: whoever's advising him, is why this thing has languished for
34:49
Speaker 9: so long. This should have been wrapped up a long
34:52
Speaker 9: time ago if he were to went in there with
34:54
Speaker 9: everything he had. But you have to remove that ragime,
34:58
Speaker 9: the regime. You've got to get rid of those beef
35:00
Speaker 9: some way, somehow, because if you don't get rid of
35:02
Speaker 9: those people, they're just going to reconstitute themselves again. So anyway, that's.
35:07
Speaker 2: Pretty much it so boots on the ground. So you're
35:10
Speaker 2: saying boots on the ground. I mean that could be
35:13
Speaker 2: a year or two year, maybe three year process at
35:15
Speaker 2: the very least.
35:17
Speaker 9: Yeah, Ted, But well, going back, this thing started in April.
35:22
Speaker 9: They ain't planned for Does he have a plan for
35:25
Speaker 9: any of this? This doesn't seem like they even.
35:26
Speaker 2: No, right, it doesn't. You're right, I don't think they've
35:31
Speaker 2: got a plan here.
35:32
Speaker 9: I don't either. And who's advising trump who this is unbelievable.
35:37
Speaker 9: So so I think trumps between a rock and a
35:39
Speaker 9: hard place. If he don't make a decision soon, this
35:42
Speaker 9: is going to go bad for him. He got us
35:44
Speaker 9: send it this. He's got to finish the job, and
35:46
Speaker 9: that's the only way I can see to finish it.
35:49
Speaker 2: Anthony appreciate the call, and it's it's time for it.
35:52
Speaker 2: Come to Jesus moment with the administration on this, folks.
35:55
Speaker 2: Otherwise we are going to be in a mess. I
35:59
Speaker 2: think we're already in a mess, but we're going to
36:00
Speaker 2: be in a bigger mess over there, and we've got
36:03
Speaker 2: to get it figured out. But the hard line, this
36:05
Speaker 2: is what cracks me up. You know, I've got you know,
36:08
Speaker 2: we're sharing literal audio and video of the President saying
36:12
Speaker 2: that it's going to be four to six weeks, and
36:15
Speaker 2: you've got his dying hard supporter saying that's not true.
36:18
Speaker 2: He did not say that. Well, what we're just making
36:22
Speaker 2: it all up here. We pulled the documentation from General
36:28
Speaker 2: Raisin Caine himself from April the eighth when he said,
36:33
Speaker 2: beyond a shadow of out that every drone, every ballistic
36:37
Speaker 2: missile had been destroyed. Boom they're gone. We had desim
36:42
Speaker 2: Remember that we had total superiority over air, superiority over
36:47
Speaker 2: over Iran, remember all of those. I mean, it was
36:50
Speaker 2: everybody was excited. We thought, wow, they got they got
36:53
Speaker 2: this wrapped up pretty quickly. So look, all I'm saying
36:57
Speaker 2: is whatever they're doing is not working. You say, Todd,
37:01
Speaker 2: how can you say that? How do you know it's
37:02
Speaker 2: not working? Well? Because over the weekend we had Americans
37:07
Speaker 2: lose their lives. That's how I know things aren't working.
37:12
Speaker 2: There's some other things. There's other reporting out there, and
37:15
Speaker 2: I don't know if somebody is actually leaking intel out
37:19
Speaker 2: of the Pentagon, which is not good because I think
37:22
Speaker 2: that puts troops in danger as well. We've just got
37:25
Speaker 2: a big mess on our hands and they got to
37:26
Speaker 2: get that figured out, all right. Nine oh one two
37:28
Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six is our telephone number.
37:32
Speaker 2: Anthony says, we're gonna have to put boots on the ground.
37:35
Speaker 2: What do you think about that, Ladies and gentlemen. We'll
37:37
Speaker 2: be right back.
37:53
Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
37:57
Speaker 1: common sense conservative commentary from God Starts.
38:10
Speaker 2: Okay, we have been following this crazy breaking news story
38:14
Speaker 2: out of New York City, Lower Manhattan, just outside of
38:18
Speaker 2: the Federal Building, an area that I have been to
38:21
Speaker 2: many many times during my time at Fox News, and
38:25
Speaker 2: it is just absolutely shocking to see some of the
38:27
Speaker 2: video coming out where some sort of an armed lunatic
38:31
Speaker 2: set off an incendiary device right outside of the Federal plaza.
38:37
Speaker 2: We understand the Joint Terrorism Task Force is involved. They
38:41
Speaker 2: are describing this as an anti ice attack. I want
38:46
Speaker 2: to bring right now into the conversation on our Patriot
38:49
Speaker 2: Mobile newsmaker line former CBP A chief Greg Bovino, who
38:54
Speaker 2: joins us today. Greg, First of all, good to have
38:57
Speaker 2: you with us. Your reaction to what happened the morning
39:00
Speaker 2: in New York City.
39:03
Speaker 10: Sure, well, Todd, it's good to see you, and thanks
39:04
Speaker 10: for having me. You know, it's too bad that the
39:07
Speaker 10: violence is escalated to the point where it has now. Unfortunately,
39:12
Speaker 10: I'm not surprised, and I think that we're going to
39:16
Speaker 10: continue to see this type of violence against ice officers
39:20
Speaker 10: and law enforcement in general. You know, this has been
39:24
Speaker 10: this is this is not an accident. This has been
39:27
Speaker 10: perpetuated and encouraged by many, whether it's so called community
39:31
Speaker 10: leaders or those elected representatives. They've encouraged this type of
39:35
Speaker 10: behavior from the very beginning, make no bones about it.
39:39
Speaker 10: It's a wonder it didn't even it didn't happen before now,
39:42
Speaker 10: so they encourage this.
39:43
Speaker 2: Todd, Greg, I'm a hardliner when it comes to immigration.
39:47
Speaker 2: I think the only people we need to be concerned
39:49
Speaker 2: about are the folks trying to get into this country
39:52
Speaker 2: legally the right way. I think everybody here needs to go.
39:58
Speaker 2: If you are here illegally, you gotta go and come
40:01
Speaker 2: back the right way. And it just seems a lot
40:03
Speaker 2: of folks are getting the impression that we're not being
40:07
Speaker 2: as aggressive as we were back when you were running things.
40:13
Speaker 10: Well, sure, Todd, I happened to be one of those
40:15
Speaker 10: hardliners right alongside you there. If you didn't know, and
40:20
Speaker 10: you know, it's true. It's not negotiable. Coming into the
40:24
Speaker 10: country illegally is not negotiable. You don't get to might
40:28
Speaker 10: stay or maybe stay, or that type of thing like
40:32
Speaker 10: has happened in the past. Unfortunately, now when you come
40:35
Speaker 10: into the country illegally, we expect you to leave, hopefully
40:38
Speaker 10: on your own, hopefully a self deportation. That's the best way,
40:42
Speaker 10: so that, as you said, Todd, you can come in
40:43
Speaker 10: and do it the right way. But if not, it's
40:46
Speaker 10: time for whether it's a US border patrol or ice
40:50
Speaker 10: to come get you and formally to port you, so
40:53
Speaker 10: then you'll not have any chance of coming back in
40:56
Speaker 10: this country. So you know, it's black and white. Our
41:00
Speaker 10: very culture is at stake right now over this issue.
41:04
Speaker 10: I think it's the most important issue of our lifetimes.
41:07
Speaker 2: No doubt about it. It's and it's not that we've
41:09
Speaker 2: been invaded. We've already been invaded. Now we're being occupied.
41:13
Speaker 2: And it's very clear when you look at some of
41:15
Speaker 2: these communities states like Minnesota, you've got tens of thousands
41:20
Speaker 2: of people who do not want to assimilate into the
41:23
Speaker 2: American way of life, into the American culture. And Greg,
41:27
Speaker 2: I'm concerned that we're going to be balkanizing large swaths
41:31
Speaker 2: of America if we don't conduct a serious crackdown on
41:35
Speaker 2: the illegals.
41:37
Speaker 10: Yes, that tribalization and balkanization, as you mentioned that, you
41:42
Speaker 10: can see it already happening in many parts of the
41:45
Speaker 10: United States, whether it's Dearborn, Michigan or nearly any state,
41:49
Speaker 10: any state has its area that is already happening. That's scary.
41:53
Speaker 10: To me, and again, it's a cultural shift that we're
41:57
Speaker 10: going to be up against. When you bring in and
41:59
Speaker 10: my numbers one hundred and seven million up from one
42:02
Speaker 10: hundred million, When you bring in that many individuals that
42:06
Speaker 10: do not share your values, your culture, your beliefs, your customs,
42:10
Speaker 10: then you're going to have problems. And you know, it
42:13
Speaker 10: wasn't pretty when they came into the country, especially under
42:16
Speaker 10: Joe Biden, the tens of millions that came in under
42:19
Speaker 10: Joe Biden. That wasn't pretty. And it's not going to
42:21
Speaker 10: be pretty when they leave. Nobody ever said it was
42:23
Speaker 10: going to. Right now is our chance to stand too
42:29
Speaker 10: and to initiate those mass deportations of every single illegal
42:33
Speaker 10: alien walking our streets with impunity right now. And they're
42:37
Speaker 10: walking our streets with impunity right now. And you know,
42:41
Speaker 10: now is our time to stand too. While we've got
42:44
Speaker 10: President Trump in office and some good hardline immigration officers
42:49
Speaker 10: and retired immigration officers out there, some good hardline folks
42:53
Speaker 10: like you that truly understand the problem. Now is the
42:55
Speaker 10: time We've got the solution, We've got the manpower, we've
42:58
Speaker 10: got that American exceptional that can that can make this happen.
43:03
Speaker 10: So what the hell are we waiting on?
43:04
Speaker 2: Todd. Look, it's a great question because again, perception, the
43:09
Speaker 2: perception is that we're easing up here. And I'm I'm
43:12
Speaker 2: I'm concerned when when I saw the reports that after
43:16
Speaker 2: you know, several people have been shot and why were
43:19
Speaker 2: they shot? They were trying to run over ice agents
43:21
Speaker 2: and so now all of a sudden they wanted to
43:24
Speaker 2: back off of the the traffic stops. Now we understand that,
43:29
Speaker 2: you know, the White House said no, no, no, we're not
43:31
Speaker 2: going to do that. But are you concerned that we've
43:34
Speaker 2: got folks running, uh running the program there that are
43:39
Speaker 2: more concerned about optics than they are about actually getting
43:43
Speaker 2: the illegals out of the country.
43:47
Speaker 10: Yes, I am worried about that that is happening. I
43:51
Speaker 10: think that Trump he has a he has a team
43:54
Speaker 10: that he works with. That team advice is Trump? I
43:56
Speaker 10: think he's getting some bad advice.
43:58
Speaker 2: Todd.
43:59
Speaker 10: We did start softening that approach even before we got
44:03
Speaker 10: to Minnesota, and then with the capitulation and the surrender
44:06
Speaker 10: in Minnesota, it's been nothing but a soft approach ever since.
44:10
Speaker 10: And you know, people say, well, how do you know that, Bobby?
44:13
Speaker 10: You know, are you just just sour grapes or why
44:15
Speaker 10: would you say something like that. Well, Todd, look around you.
44:19
Speaker 10: I can go to a Walmart, I can go to
44:21
Speaker 10: a bank. I was in a bank day before yesterday
44:25
Speaker 10: or a couple a few days ago, and I believe
44:27
Speaker 10: it was last Friday. There were more suspected illegal aliens
44:32
Speaker 10: in that bank, either opening bank accounts or accessing current
44:36
Speaker 10: bank accounts in that bank than American citizens. Why is
44:39
Speaker 10: that happening? If we had hardcore immigration enforcement, you wouldn't
44:43
Speaker 10: see that. But you know what, it's almost like they've
44:47
Speaker 10: turned the corner, or they feel they've turned the corner,
44:49
Speaker 10: these illegal aliens, and they're back to doing business as
44:52
Speaker 10: usual throughout the United States. I hear this every day
44:56
Speaker 10: from American citizens. Sometimes they recognize me and then want
45:00
Speaker 10: to come up and talk about immigration and what's going
45:02
Speaker 10: on and why isn't something being done? So, you know,
45:07
Speaker 10: it needs to be to the point where you and
45:09
Speaker 10: I and mom Paw America can visually see and feel
45:15
Speaker 10: that immigration enforcement's being done, and Todd is not. It's
45:18
Speaker 10: not rocket science. It's not rocket science. You either do
45:20
Speaker 10: it or you don't. And when you do it, you
45:23
Speaker 10: can tell it's being done, there's no doubt about it.
45:26
Speaker 10: But if you're not going to do it, don't hand
45:28
Speaker 10: this excuses. We're getting gasla and we're getting excuses.
45:32
Speaker 2: Now, that's it.
45:34
Speaker 11: It just and you.
45:35
Speaker 2: I think the American people know it, and that's troubling
45:38
Speaker 2: because that is one of the top issues on the
45:41
Speaker 2: minds of voters going into the midterms. I want to
45:43
Speaker 2: circle back before we wrap things up here. There was
45:47
Speaker 2: a story a last week out of Memphis, Tennessee, where
45:50
Speaker 2: the President's you know, attack on crime has been incredibly successful.
45:54
Speaker 2: Four members of the National Guard told they could not
45:57
Speaker 2: eat at a pizza joint, Timboldi's Pizza, because the owner
46:02
Speaker 2: says that the city was being occupied. I mean turning
46:05
Speaker 2: away these young these young people that are out there
46:08
Speaker 2: making cities say, we have seen these reports in other
46:12
Speaker 2: cities across the nation. Your reaction to that.
46:15
Speaker 12: Greg.
46:17
Speaker 10: Unfortunately, what those National Guard members are seeing an experience
46:22
Speaker 10: there in Memphis that happens quite often, especially to border
46:26
Speaker 10: patrull agients. To myself, I have to really watch it
46:28
Speaker 10: going into a restaurant or an establishment like that. But
46:32
Speaker 10: that's a very very real situation. It's sad that it's happening.
46:37
Speaker 10: But I believe you mentioned that was tremball The's pizza,
46:41
Speaker 10: highlighting that. Just like the left tries to highlight us
46:46
Speaker 10: for being, you know, for enforcing immigration law, I think
46:51
Speaker 10: it's important to do exactly what you just did and
46:53
Speaker 10: highlight those businesses. They don't want to be highlighted, just
46:57
Speaker 10: like many of those anarchists and rioters. They want a
47:00
Speaker 10: videotape you Todd or me or any Bordervatu agent out there,
47:04
Speaker 10: but when you turn that camera on them, oh boy,
47:07
Speaker 10: they don't like that too much. So mom Paw America,
47:09
Speaker 10: if you're listening to Todd Starns, take action with your
47:13
Speaker 10: phone and let let your fellow American citizens know exactly
47:17
Speaker 10: what's going on. Those National Guard members should not be
47:21
Speaker 10: turned away. Hey what happened to I'm gonna buy that
47:24
Speaker 10: guy lunch. That's what that should be. When they make
47:27
Speaker 10: the community safer. Unbelievable.
47:29
Speaker 2: All right, Greg, Look, we really appreciate you coming on
47:31
Speaker 2: the show today. We're gonna get you back on and
47:34
Speaker 2: we appreciate your hardline stance here. I think that the
47:38
Speaker 2: majority of the American people support you one thousand percent,
47:43
Speaker 2: and we've got to get a handle on this otherwise
47:45
Speaker 2: we're not going to have a country. So Greg Baveno,
47:48
Speaker 2: thank you for joining us here on the show today.
47:51
Speaker 10: All right, well Todd, you see clearly and thank you.
48:02
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back to the ton Starage Radio Show.
48:05
Speaker 2: Great to have you with us. Our telephone number nine
48:07
Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six before
48:10
Speaker 2: we get to the phone lines, ladies and gentlemen. We
48:13
Speaker 2: are well under a month away from the launch of
48:17
Speaker 2: my brand new book. It's called The Golden Age, How
48:21
Speaker 2: Trump Saved America. You know, we talked earlier in the program,
48:24
Speaker 2: and in the last hour we're going to jump back
48:27
Speaker 2: into the socialism angle of the of the talk today.
48:32
Speaker 2: But in the in the book, I write about the
48:36
Speaker 2: threats that are on the horizon, and one of those
48:39
Speaker 2: threats is socialism. Socialism is already here, and we've got
48:44
Speaker 2: to figure out how are we going to deal with
48:46
Speaker 2: this clear and present danger to the Republic. And I
48:49
Speaker 2: offer some ideas in the Golden Age, because we can't
48:55
Speaker 2: just celebrate. It's not like we have reached as I
48:57
Speaker 2: As I wrote in in the book, the Golden Age
49:00
Speaker 2: is not a destination, it is an aspiration. So it's
49:04
Speaker 2: not like We've arrived and that's it, and we can
49:07
Speaker 2: sit back in our lazy boys and enjoy a Doctor Pepper. No,
49:11
Speaker 2: that's not it. We've got to keep fighting for freedom.
49:15
Speaker 2: And I'm just telling you, if the Socialist ever get
49:18
Speaker 2: control of Congress or the White House, it's all over
49:21
Speaker 2: for us. So that's one of the reasons why I
49:24
Speaker 2: want you to read the book. I want you to
49:27
Speaker 2: get a copy. Get one for your church library. If
49:30
Speaker 2: you've got a young person, maybe a grandson or a granddaughter,
49:34
Speaker 2: get a copy for them as well. The Golden Age
49:37
Speaker 2: How Trump Saved America, And you can pre order a
49:41
Speaker 2: copy Barge and Noble Books million Amazon. Now listen up
49:45
Speaker 2: if you pre ordered the book, and you'll want to
49:49
Speaker 2: keep your receipt. But if you pre order the book
49:51

Speaker 2: That'll be in stores nine oh one two six zero
50:22
Speaker 2: five nine two six our number. Let's go to the phones,
50:26
Speaker 2: Danny and tennessee Danny, what's on your mind?
50:31
Speaker 13: Good afternoon, Sir. I had a quick comment about what
50:33
Speaker 13: you're speaking about last hour, but briefly was what you're
50:36
Speaker 13: talking about with your guest. I had a ruddy mine,
50:39
Speaker 13: old army buddy. Mine was just recently in Dearborn, Michigan.
50:43
Speaker 13: And the thing is like here locally, you know, you
50:46
Speaker 13: go to town stuff, everything seems fine and all that.
50:49
Speaker 13: But he had to go on Dearborn, Michigan, and he
50:51
Speaker 13: grew up around there, and he's when he went there,
50:56
Speaker 13: he felt like he was back in Saudi Arabia, in
50:59
Speaker 13: Iraq and stuff.
51:00
Speaker 2: Is that right?
51:01
Speaker 13: He said, it is? It is wall to wall. He
51:03
Speaker 13: wasn't exaggerating. He said he had flashbacks. He thought he
51:07
Speaker 13: was back there because it was just the Burker's everything everywhere.
51:11
Speaker 13: He said, it was crazy. And that is coming to
51:13
Speaker 13: a neighborhood near you. If you got two things he
51:16
Speaker 13: can do, you're not gonna be able to do nothing
51:18
Speaker 13: and just sit on your butt. Got two things, you're
51:20
Speaker 13: gonna have to do either prevent it now or you're
51:24
Speaker 13: gonna have to do a major lifestyle change when they
51:26
Speaker 13: take over your area here not too distant future. Well,
51:31
Speaker 13: you can't just sit and do nothing. We're gonna have
51:33
Speaker 13: to do something, Danny.
51:35
Speaker 2: I was watching a video last night. It was it
51:38
Speaker 2: was shown up at my feeds on I think Instagram
51:41
Speaker 2: or something, and it was it was a look at
51:44
Speaker 2: what Somalia looked like back before the Communists took over,
51:48
Speaker 2: what Iran looked like before the Jihatas took over. And
51:55
Speaker 2: these nations were beautiful nations, beautiful people. I mean, tay
51:59
Speaker 2: Ron was one of was sort of like Paris where
52:02
Speaker 2: you had some of the most beautiful women and they were,
52:05
Speaker 2: you know, wearing the bathing suits, and the guys were
52:07
Speaker 2: out there. You know, everybody was having a good time.
52:09
Speaker 2: It was sort of like a version of what America
52:12
Speaker 2: was until the ji Honnas took over. And I think
52:15
Speaker 2: this current generation, anybody who was born, you know, beyond nineteen,
52:21
Speaker 2: you know, eighty five, they don't know what things used
52:24
Speaker 2: to be like in some of those countries before the
52:27
Speaker 2: jie Hottist or the communist took over.
52:31
Speaker 13: Exactly. People don't realize what's going on, and it's you
52:35
Speaker 13: can't just sit and do nothing. We're gonna have to
52:37
Speaker 13: do something. We got to anyway, back to last hours
52:41
Speaker 13: real quick, Yeah, yeah, just make it real fast. In
52:45
Speaker 13: the military situations, the only thing certain is uncertainty, and
52:50
Speaker 13: you're always getting orders chained. Things are always changing and
52:53
Speaker 13: we hell old Battalion colonel his phrase, and I think
52:56
Speaker 13: President Trump could use this right now. His phrase was,
52:59
Speaker 13: I did not lie. The truth changed, all.
53:06
Speaker 2: Right, Danny. That's a that's a great way to wrap
53:08
Speaker 2: things up. A lot of a lot of wisdom there
53:10
Speaker 2: from Danny and Seliver Tennessee. Let's go to Charles in
53:14
Speaker 2: North Carolina to the US. I see, hey, Charles, what
53:17
Speaker 2: do you make of what's happening?
53:19
Speaker 14: Hey child?
53:20
Speaker 12: Well, first off, looking forward to getting uh getting your
53:23
Speaker 12: book here when it comes out. Uh for to reading it.
53:26
Speaker 12: But uh, kudos to Greg Baveno everything he said. But uh,
53:31
Speaker 12: if you want to bring uh in the previous caller, uh,
53:35
Speaker 12: you know, Muslim takeover of our cities, gun check, delegal immigration,
53:40
Speaker 12: the rise of socialism. One thing that can bring all
53:44
Speaker 12: that about. And I know people think it can't happen here,
53:46
Speaker 12: but it cans us staying involved in some stupid war
53:51
Speaker 12: in the Middle East with Iran.
53:53
Speaker 9: Uh.
53:54
Speaker 12: It destroyed Lyndon Johnson's presidency, it destroyed George W. Bush's presidency.
54:00
Speaker 12: And if Trump doesn't get us out of there and
54:02
Speaker 12: declare victory, it's going to destroy his presidency, the Republican Party,
54:06
Speaker 12: and it's going to usher in the kind of socialists
54:09
Speaker 12: that this country does not need.
54:13
Speaker 9: You know, Todd, we went.
54:14
Speaker 12: To war to what stop Iran from getting a nuclear bomb? Right, Well,
54:19
Speaker 12: supposed that we've destroyed their capability, But now the truth
54:24
Speaker 12: has changed. I think what the real motive was tied
54:28
Speaker 12: is regime change. That's what they've wanted all along. And
54:32
Speaker 12: the President is getting some bad advice, just like he's
54:36
Speaker 12: getting some bad advice on immigration and you know, slowing
54:39
Speaker 12: down the deportations. I'm afraid that a lot of the
54:42
Speaker 12: neocons have got to him, but he's got a reverse
54:46
Speaker 12: course and get us the hell out of there as
54:48
Speaker 12: fast as possible and declara victory and bring them home.
54:50
Speaker 2: I thought it was interesting what General tankerT said earlier
54:53
Speaker 2: that we're not targeting the power plants, We're not targeting
54:56
Speaker 2: the Iranians where it's going to hurt the general population
54:59
Speaker 2: where they would rise up, you know, against their government.
55:02
Speaker 2: We're not doing any of that.
55:05
Speaker 12: We're not, And I think that's the only thing that
55:07
Speaker 12: can defeat that regime. It's not going to be you know,
55:09
Speaker 12: airpower and uh, strategic bombing campaign that doesn't cause nations
55:14
Speaker 12: to surrender. It's going to be the Anian people rising up.
55:17
Speaker 12: And I wish there was a way we could get
55:18
Speaker 12: weapons to them and some type of organizational structure who
55:23
Speaker 12: you know, for them to take care of business. But
55:25
Speaker 12: for now, I just think Trump needs to tell NET
55:27
Speaker 12: and Yahoo needs to tell the rest of the world, Hey,
55:30
Speaker 12: we've destroyed their military capability, We've taken out their nuclear capability.
55:34
Speaker 12: We're out and we're coming home.
55:37
Speaker 2: Charles A good thought. Gonna leave it there. By the way,
55:40
Speaker 2: gas price is climbing back above four dollars a gallon.
55:44
Speaker 2: Oh jeesz alone, that's uh, we'll see how that how
55:47
Speaker 2: that fares. The President also now vowing that every time
55:52
Speaker 2: Iron kills an American soldier, they're going to pay for
55:56
Speaker 2: that killing many times over. We don't know what that means,
55:59
Speaker 2: but way the director was passed along to the Secretary
56:02
Speaker 2: of War and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
56:05
Speaker 2: Staff and Rubio now saying diplomacy is still on the table.
56:09
Speaker 2: What is going on there? Folks, got to take a break.
56:12
Speaker 2: Nine one two six zero five nine two six. We'll
56:14
Speaker 2: be right back, all right, Welcome back, everybody. It is
56:28
Speaker 2: the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Great to have you with us.
56:30
Speaker 2: By the way, if you missed our interview with the
56:34

Speaker 2: to the show wherever you are in America. By the way,
56:49
Speaker 2: some breaking news to share with you out of New
56:52
Speaker 2: York City. There is new video that shows the anti
56:57
Speaker 2: ice terrorist throwing the first bomb onto the applaza there
57:03
Speaker 2: in New York City at the Federal Building. So we
57:06
Speaker 2: had posted that video at Todd Sterns dot com. I
57:09
Speaker 2: will tell you, folks it is it's really a miracle
57:13
Speaker 2: that nobody was seriously injured as a result of what
57:18
Speaker 2: that horrible person did there. The good news is the
57:21
Speaker 2: guy in custody and we also have brand new video,
57:25
Speaker 2: much clearer video of the terrorists being taken into custody.
57:29
Speaker 2: And again you can see all of that for yourself
57:31
Speaker 2: at Todd Sterns dot com. Well, I want to bring
57:33
Speaker 2: into the conversation to good friends of mine, Bob McEwan,
57:36
Speaker 2: the former congressman from Ohio, and Harry Hurley, the king
57:41
Speaker 2: of talk radio in Atlantic City, New Jersey WPG Radio. Guys,
57:46
Speaker 2: good to see you, Bob. Before we get into all
57:49
Speaker 2: of this, I had gotten some messages from friends who
57:51
Speaker 2: live in Ohio and they say it was so smoky
57:55
Speaker 2: because of those Canadian fires. Are you guys doing good
57:57
Speaker 2: where you are?
58:00
Speaker 15: Was in Cleveland and Akron over the weekend and it
58:02
Speaker 15: was seriously, seriously bad. I live in Cincinnati. It wasn't
58:06
Speaker 15: so bad there, but last week it was unlike anything
58:10
Speaker 15: I've ever seen. Todd, it was really bad.
58:12
Speaker 2: And Harry, Now, I know normally you guys have a
58:14
Speaker 2: clown of smoke over Jersey, but it's normally the Devil's
58:18
Speaker 2: let us, my friend, were you guys getting the residual
58:21
Speaker 2: smoke too?
58:22
Speaker 7: Oh?
58:23
Speaker 9: It was bad.
58:23
Speaker 16: I agree with what Bob just said. A couple of
58:26
Speaker 16: days before the rain hit, it was very unhealthy.
58:29
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, but everybody's doing a lot better from
58:32
Speaker 2: what I understand. Yeah, all right, good stuff, guys. Let's
58:36
Speaker 2: just jump right into this shocking, shocking story this morning
58:39
Speaker 2: out of New York City. Harry, you just have to wonder,
58:43
Speaker 2: at what point are the Democrats going to realize their
58:46
Speaker 2: rhetoric and the rhetoric coming out of the mainstream media
58:49
Speaker 2: literally putting lives in danger here.
58:52
Speaker 16: Todd, You're exactly right. It reminds me of the weather underground,
58:57
Speaker 16: this rhetoric. And you see how concerned democrats, you know,
59:01
Speaker 16: the big civil war right now. People think it's Republicans
59:04
Speaker 16: versus Democrats. It's Democrats versus the socialist communist Democrats. You
59:09
Speaker 16: hear Van Jones, who we used to think sounded radical,
59:12
Speaker 16: Bill Maher, John Fetterman, and the list is long. They're
59:16
Speaker 16: very concerned about these socialist Democrats. And I agree with
59:20
Speaker 16: you completely, Todd. You can't blame them for everything, but
59:24
Speaker 16: their rhetoric is creating a weather underground type violence where
59:29
Speaker 16: we see bombs going off, chemicals and fireworks, and what
59:33
Speaker 16: you're describing today in New York is very serious and
59:37
Speaker 16: hopefully the American people will reject it.
59:39
Speaker 2: You know, Bob, this I want to touch on what
59:43
Speaker 2: something Harry said about the Democrats, and you know Bill
59:46
Speaker 2: Maher saying he can't have any part of whatever this
59:48
Speaker 2: Democrat Party is becoming. Congressman Steve Cohen from Tennessee, Memphis,
59:53
Speaker 2: Tennessee one of the most one of the most far
59:55
Speaker 2: left progressives in the House. He actually resigned from the
59:59
Speaker 2: pro aggressive Caucus because it has gotten so radical. He's
1:00:04
Speaker 2: very concerned about the rise of anti Semitism within the
1:00:07
Speaker 2: ranks of the Democrats. What is going on here.
1:00:12
Speaker 15: Well, particularly in anti Semitism. Now we've crossed the Rublican
1:00:17
Speaker 15: in the vote last week, more than half of all Democrats.
1:00:20
Speaker 15: And of course the Democrats have always been reluctant to
1:00:22
Speaker 15: support Israel. Republicans have supported Israel even though the Jewish
1:00:26
Speaker 15: community overwhelming supports Democrats four to one. But Republicans did
1:00:30
Speaker 15: it because it was the right thing to do. Democrats
1:00:33
Speaker 15: did it because it was convenient. And now when they
1:00:35
Speaker 15: find out politically as to their advantage to abandon Israel,
1:00:38
Speaker 15: more than half, more than half voted to have no
1:00:41
Speaker 15: relations with Israel and to abandon the agreement that Carter
1:00:45
Speaker 15: arranged many many years ago. So for Steve Cohen, people
1:00:49
Speaker 15: are beginning to recognize what we've known for a long time,
1:00:52
Speaker 15: that the Democrat Party was not committed to them, and
1:00:55
Speaker 15: once they got a better deal from a larger group,
1:00:57
Speaker 15: they would abandon Israel immediately, and they're doing.
1:01:00
Speaker 2: It, Harry. Over the weekend we had Alexandria Acazio Cortes,
1:01:05
Speaker 2: a summer read from Pennsylvania, and Iona Presley from Massachusetts
1:01:09
Speaker 2: campaigning in Memphis for a radical Democrat. This is the
1:01:13
Speaker 2: guy that's going to be replacing Steve Cohen. Of course,
1:01:16
Speaker 2: this is a district that has been redrawn by the Republicans,
1:01:20
Speaker 2: so the Republicans should have the advantage, but it is
1:01:23
Speaker 2: going to It's been a nationalized race. The Republican Congressional
1:01:28
Speaker 2: Committee coming out earlier today, this is from Politico saying
1:01:32
Speaker 2: that the Tennessee ninth is going to be one of
1:01:35
Speaker 2: their target districts. And at this rally Harry, which was
1:01:39
Speaker 2: held in a very large, black mega church, over one
1:01:42
Speaker 2: thousand people cheered as the pastor said that Jesus was
1:01:46
Speaker 2: a socialist and that Christians should be should be socialists.
1:01:50
Speaker 2: And I'm just wondering how concerned Republicans ought to be
1:01:54
Speaker 2: about the rise of socialism and the way the narrative
1:01:58
Speaker 2: is being shaped in many of these these churches across
1:02:01
Speaker 2: the country.
1:02:03
Speaker 16: Well, we should be very concerned. However, the Democrats maybe
1:02:07
Speaker 16: are even more concerned because the most radical wing of
1:02:11
Speaker 16: their party they're being successful in the contests, they're becoming
1:02:15
Speaker 16: the nominee of the party. My belief is that they
1:02:18
Speaker 16: still can only win in the most radical areas. If
1:02:22
Speaker 16: they start to win in more conservative or even let's
1:02:27
Speaker 16: call them purple type districts that are a coin toss,
1:02:30
Speaker 16: may be, if they have success beyond the most radical districts,
1:02:34
Speaker 16: then we have a lot to be concerned about. I
1:02:36
Speaker 16: don't think we're anywhere near that yet in America.
1:02:39
Speaker 2: Though, Bob, how do you feel about that?
1:02:43
Speaker 15: Well, I hope Verry's right, But I see the growth
1:02:46
Speaker 15: is taking place. And when you put eight, ten or
1:02:48
Speaker 15: fifteen of these folks in the Congress where they can
1:02:51
Speaker 15: preach leftists, anti American socialism, and give a legitimacy to it,
1:02:56
Speaker 15: then you can see that begin to grow to a
1:02:57
Speaker 15: caucus of twenty five or thirty and begin to impact
1:03:00
Speaker 15: the entire operation. As you know, Harold Ford represented that
1:03:03
Speaker 15: district where Steve Cohen is. It's a majority Democrat mar
1:03:06
Speaker 15: Jordi Black. It's the only place where a black district
1:03:08
Speaker 15: is represented by a white man. And he wanted to
1:03:11
Speaker 15: join the Black Caucus and they said, absolutely not. We're
1:03:13
Speaker 15: not interested in who you represent, We're interested in what
1:03:16
Speaker 15: your skin color is. That he was denied. So I
1:03:18
Speaker 15: think we're going to hopefully see some changes, some improvement
1:03:21
Speaker 15: taking place. But the eye of the Democrat Socialist Party
1:03:24
Speaker 15: is beginning to take ascendancy. And when you look at
1:03:28
Speaker 15: the leadership, whether it be Schumer or Jeffries or any
1:03:31
Speaker 15: of the rest, they have no impact on the momentum
1:03:33
Speaker 15: that's taking place right before our eyes.
1:03:36
Speaker 2: Guys, I want to switch over to the war end
1:03:38
Speaker 2: in Iran, Harry. In February, we were told by the
1:03:44
Speaker 2: White House that this thing would be wrapped up no
1:03:46
Speaker 2: more than six weeks. That was their guestimate. Six weeks.
1:03:50
Speaker 2: We're almost six months later. In April they told us
1:03:55
Speaker 2: General Raising Kane from the White House website said that
1:03:59
Speaker 2: Iran's ballistic missile and drone capabilities had been destroyed. And
1:04:05
Speaker 2: now we know that's just simply not accurate. Where do
1:04:09
Speaker 2: we go from here and what is the end game?
1:04:11
Speaker 2: Because I'm starting to kind of get a whiff of
1:04:14
Speaker 2: a possible quagmire as we moved towards the November midterms.
1:04:20
Speaker 16: That's well said. It's a lot of people's opinion right now.
1:04:25
Speaker 16: I've not yet lost faith in my former boss, President Trump.
1:04:28
Speaker 16: He knows what he's doing. Perhaps a mistake that was
1:04:31
Speaker 16: made when if you listen to a great general at
1:04:34
Speaker 16: General Keane, who said we were about two weeks away
1:04:38
Speaker 16: from finishing them off, and then we gave them the pause.
1:04:43
Speaker 16: We worked on a memorandum of understanding. I think what
1:04:46
Speaker 16: we have to grapple with is that this is a regime,
1:04:49
Speaker 16: whether it's their children and grandchildren and not the prior generations,
1:04:54
Speaker 16: because President Trump and our military ended them. I think
1:05:00
Speaker 16: that it's going to end well. You can see that
1:05:04
Speaker 16: President Trump has upped it big time. I heard you
1:05:07
Speaker 16: on with your other guests, and he was making a
1:05:09
Speaker 16: lot of sense. But I do think we need regime
1:05:12
Speaker 16: change to win the whole thing. Otherwise they out what
1:05:16
Speaker 16: last the current president that's in office. They've been doing
1:05:20
Speaker 16: it for forty seven years. We've had nine consecutive nights
1:05:24
Speaker 16: of heavy heavy attacks on Iran. If we take out
1:05:29
Speaker 16: the radical clerics, if we take out the IRGC. We
1:05:34
Speaker 16: can win this thing and it can be a whole
1:05:39
Speaker 16: new day in Iran, but we have to go for
1:05:42
Speaker 16: the win. We can't go for the same thing that
1:05:44
Speaker 16: we've done before. And there's no piece of paper that
1:05:47
Speaker 16: Iran is ever going to be faithful to.
1:05:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you on that one, Harry. And again, Bob,
1:05:53
Speaker 2: you know I would go back to the early days
1:05:56
Speaker 2: of all of this, and I was one of those
1:05:58
Speaker 2: proponents of regime change. We got to get in there,
1:06:02
Speaker 2: get it done, and then move on. That has not happened.
1:06:06
Speaker 2: And again, I don't blame the president here. I think
1:06:08
Speaker 2: the president is getting conflicting messages from people that he
1:06:13
Speaker 2: trust inherently. On one side, I think you've got Pete
1:06:16
Speaker 2: Hegseth and Marco Rubio. On the other, you've got the
1:06:19
Speaker 2: vice president And I would suspect the president's own son
1:06:24
Speaker 2: at least one of them. Who is who is standing
1:06:27
Speaker 2: alongside the vice president here? How do you see this
1:06:31
Speaker 2: playing out? And are my concerns am I just? Am
1:06:36
Speaker 2: I blowing smoke here?
1:06:38
Speaker 15: Well, Todd, I think you and Harry are both one
1:06:40
Speaker 15: hundred percent correct. Let me just add one little piece
1:06:43
Speaker 15: to it, and that is that I met with President
1:06:46
Speaker 15: Ford twenty four hours later President Bush, twenty four hours
1:06:50
Speaker 15: after he pulled the plug on a desert storm. We
1:06:54
Speaker 15: wiped out the fourth largest army in the world. We
1:06:56
Speaker 15: were smashing him Colin Powell and Dick ch and he
1:07:00
Speaker 15: came in and said, we're just in front of the
1:07:02
Speaker 15: whole world. We're destroying these people. This is horrible, and
1:07:05
Speaker 15: we pulled out without Sodom Hussein's surrendering. Now, what we
1:07:09
Speaker 15: learned later was Sodom Mussein was in a fetal position
1:07:12
Speaker 15: in the corner of his bunker and when he found
1:07:14
Speaker 15: out the Americans quit within two hours, he was up
1:07:17
Speaker 15: shouting orders. As long as they are in power, they
1:07:20
Speaker 15: consider it a victory. And this situation is the only
1:07:23
Speaker 15: way it's going to resolve itself. And this is a
1:07:26
Speaker 15: unique time. Countries that wouldn't even speak to Israel twenty
1:07:30
Speaker 15: four months ago now have IDF forces on the ground
1:07:33
Speaker 15: helping them with the Patriot missiles. There is a transition
1:07:36
Speaker 15: taking place in which America is on the ascendancy. Iran
1:07:40
Speaker 15: is in trouble. But you're one hundred percent correct. If
1:07:42
Speaker 15: we leave them in power, they will consider it a
1:07:45
Speaker 15: victory and we'll have to fight it down the road,
1:07:47
Speaker 15: just as we did with Sodom Mussein in nineteen ninety one.
1:07:50
Speaker 2: All right, both of you guys have become advisors to
1:07:53
Speaker 2: the president. What do you tell the president? What guidance
1:07:56
Speaker 2: do you give him on this?
1:07:57
Speaker 16: Harry to you, first, never trust any settlement. You cannot
1:08:03
Speaker 16: negotiate with these people. They lie, they do it. It's
1:08:07
Speaker 16: a sport for them. They're trying to run out the
1:08:09
Speaker 16: next two and a half years so they can deal
1:08:11
Speaker 16: with a weaker president. He knows that this is his
1:08:15
Speaker 16: last shot and he's got to go for the total
1:08:18
Speaker 16: win and he can do it.
1:08:20
Speaker 2: Bob, what about you?
1:08:22
Speaker 15: He's exactly correct. I would add that the reason we're
1:08:25
Speaker 15: there is because we were petitioned by the UAE, by Saudi,
1:08:30
Speaker 15: by the Bahrainis, buy and Kuwait pleading with us to
1:08:33
Speaker 15: do something that they couldn't do, and that was to
1:08:35
Speaker 15: overthrow that horrible government that is attacking them. Now Trump
1:08:40
Speaker 15: has listened to them, he's delayed at their request, He's
1:08:43
Speaker 15: done everything they've asked him to do. It's now his
1:08:45
Speaker 15: time to say, together, we have to put an end
1:08:47
Speaker 15: to this because we can't do this every eight or
1:08:49
Speaker 15: ten years from now on, Americans won't put up with him.
1:08:51
Speaker 2: Well said Bob McEwan and Harry Hurley, guys, great to
1:08:55
Speaker 2: see you, great insight and analysis, and we look forward
1:08:58
Speaker 2: to getting you back on soon.
1:09:00
Speaker 16: Fellas honored, the old Hu and the Congressman.
1:09:03
Speaker 2: Have a great day, all right, two great American patriots
1:09:06
Speaker 2: right there, Ladies and gentlemen. By the way, Harry Hurley
1:09:08
Speaker 2: has a street named after him in Atlantic City. That's
1:09:12
Speaker 2: I don't even had that in Memphis. I'm actually I
1:09:15
Speaker 2: would be afraid for them to name a street after
1:09:17
Speaker 2: me in Memphis. I can't. I can't even imagine where
1:09:20
Speaker 2: that might be. All Right, we've got to take a
1:09:23
Speaker 2: break here, folks. What advice do you give President Trump
1:09:26
Speaker 2: when it comes to Iran? No doubt there is there
1:09:29
Speaker 2: is a lot of concern right now in the White
1:09:32
Speaker 2: House over the direction of all of this. So what
1:09:36
Speaker 2: advice would you give the president? Do we stage a full,
1:09:40
Speaker 2: full blown land invasion. Do we continue the air strikes?
1:09:43
Speaker 2: Do we start targeting the sites that will start impacting
1:09:47
Speaker 2: the average Iranian? Do we arm? Do we arm the
1:09:51
Speaker 2: good god fearing people of Iran? Nine oh one two
1:09:54
Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six or telephone number. That's
1:09:57
Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
1:10:00
Speaker 2: This is the Todd Started show. Oh she's a little
1:10:18
Speaker 2: sorry there, Parker. I was a jamming to the tunes.
1:10:22
Speaker 2: By the way, Welcome back to wasn't it when Dylan
1:10:24
Speaker 2: was there just moments ago? And now Parker's back? Welcome?
1:10:29
Speaker 2: Are you back for good?
1:10:30
Speaker 17: Now?
1:10:32
Speaker 7: I am back for the rest of the summer.
1:10:33
Speaker 2: Good because you know, you've been doing the basketball camps
1:10:37
Speaker 2: and as you will, you come back from school and
1:10:40
Speaker 2: workforce in the summertime. But I never see you here.
1:10:42
Speaker 2: You're always at a basketball camp.
1:10:45
Speaker 7: It has felt like I've been in a rhythm of
1:10:47
Speaker 7: like one week in memphiest one week in Birmingham.
1:10:49
Speaker 2: But going to be back, So you're it's good to
1:10:51
Speaker 2: be back. How are the camp? So what exactly do
1:10:53
Speaker 2: you got?
1:10:53
Speaker 9: What?
1:10:54
Speaker 2: What is your role in the basketball camps?
1:10:57
Speaker 7: So for the camp specifically, we have about two hundred
1:11:01
Speaker 7: and fifty kids at the camp, and so we divide
1:11:03
Speaker 7: that up between all the players and coaches, and so
1:11:06
Speaker 7: we just get a group of about ten kids usually
1:11:09
Speaker 7: coach them, help them get better without the week, and
1:11:10
Speaker 7: then have a big tournament between the teams at the
1:11:13
Speaker 7: end of the week.
1:11:14
Speaker 2: I remember years ago when I was fresh out of
1:11:17
Speaker 2: fresh out of journalism school, I was a sports reporter
1:11:19
Speaker 2: and our coaches the basketball typically the the the camps
1:11:24
Speaker 2: are run by the coaches, which is extra cash, right
1:11:29
Speaker 2: that is not I mean, I can agree that's what
1:11:31
Speaker 2: it is. But anyway, it would be sun up to
1:11:34
Speaker 2: sun down.
1:11:36
Speaker 7: It's a full day. Our kids get there about eight
1:11:38
Speaker 7: o'clock and they.
1:11:39
Speaker 2: Leave it four. Do you have to did you and
1:11:42
Speaker 2: you're are you a coach in all? Is that? Is
1:11:44
Speaker 2: that your role in this?
1:11:45
Speaker 11: Yes?
1:11:46
Speaker 7: So I would have my own team and like coach
1:11:47
Speaker 7: the kids throughout the week.
1:11:49
Speaker 2: I see, So, did you ever like you know, get
1:11:51
Speaker 2: into it at the reps or anything like that, or
1:11:53
Speaker 2: do you have to like set an example for the kids?
1:11:56
Speaker 7: No, because the problem with that is we would have
1:11:58
Speaker 7: our players ref the games. Oh and so like sometimes
1:12:01
Speaker 7: you're refing your own game, so you're trying to call
1:12:04
Speaker 7: it balance, but you also want your team to win
1:12:06
Speaker 7: kind of thing.
1:12:07
Speaker 2: It's kind of like when I have you know, I'm
1:12:08
Speaker 2: a Marshall Blackburn and I've endorsed Marshall Blackburn, but I've
1:12:11
Speaker 2: got the other guys coming on so you got to
1:12:13
Speaker 2: be fair and balanced about it exactly. Okay, I get that.
1:12:16
Speaker 2: That makes it. Did you catch any of the World
1:12:18
Speaker 2: Cup yesterday?
1:12:19
Speaker 7: I did great game, really, I think the I think
1:12:22
Speaker 7: the better team won.
1:12:23
Speaker 2: Wait, nobody what one score? There was one score eighty minutes.
1:12:27
Speaker 7: I get that argument, but I respect great goalkeeper. I
1:12:33
Speaker 7: thought the Argentina goalie played great, considering Spain got nearly
1:12:36
Speaker 7: twenty shots up and had one goal.
1:12:39
Speaker 2: Did you catch the halftime show?
1:12:42
Speaker 7: I had, It was on, but it was a waste
1:12:44
Speaker 7: of time in my opinion, I didn't get it.
1:12:46
Speaker 2: I mean it's first of all, I thought, am I
1:12:49
Speaker 2: had just taken my heartbeds? And I'm like, am I
1:12:52
Speaker 2: looking at the Muppets right now in the middle of
1:12:54
Speaker 2: MetLife Stadium? Are those Is that miss Piggy? And at
1:12:58
Speaker 2: first I thought it was a drag quint.
1:13:00
Speaker 7: I was a little confused with that too. I was
1:13:01
Speaker 7: doing something else in the background and that was on.
1:13:03
Speaker 7: I was like, yeah, I was just seeing random things.
1:13:06
Speaker 7: Probably was like, oh, it's justin Bieber. Oh it's the Muppets.
1:13:08
Speaker 11: What are we doing?
1:13:08
Speaker 2: Oh well, I mean, as a matter of fact, one
1:13:10
Speaker 2: of the guys weird do I am so he is
1:13:14
Speaker 2: one of the commentators for BBC, and they just kind of,
1:13:17
Speaker 2: I guess, call it like it is. And the guy
1:13:20
Speaker 2: was talking about how it was crap. He just he
1:13:24
Speaker 2: said it was. It was a crap show. And I
1:13:27
Speaker 2: thought it was interesting. But Donna did, Okay, she probably
1:13:30
Speaker 2: doesn't need to show. Were those support stockings or was
1:13:33
Speaker 2: that lingerie? I wasn't sure, No idea could have been both.
1:13:37
Speaker 2: I don't know. We don't want to judge, but you know,
1:13:40
Speaker 2: she's out there not acting her age. And then you
1:13:43
Speaker 2: had Bieber out there. So it was just weird because
1:13:45
Speaker 2: Bieber comes out and it's like a total chill vibe,
1:13:49
Speaker 2: not something I would expect from a halftime show.
1:13:52
Speaker 7: The vibe was different every thirty seconds. It felt like
1:13:54
Speaker 7: you couldn't keep telling what they were trying to do.
1:13:56
Speaker 2: It was all over the point.
1:13:57
Speaker 7: We were doing too much in their short amount of time.
1:13:59
Speaker 2: And then you got the children out there singing about love,
1:14:01
Speaker 2: and then the Muppets were you know, they lost me.
1:14:05
Speaker 2: Oh you know who was there, Miss Janice? Not from
1:14:08
Speaker 2: New Orleans, but the nurse Nurse Janis from the Muppets. Man,
1:14:12
Speaker 2: I forgot all about them. We used to watch that
1:14:14
Speaker 2: show all the time. That was a great show. But anyway,
1:14:18
Speaker 2: so it's over now, right, so everybody, all the foreigners
1:14:21
Speaker 2: are going back to their home countries. And today used
1:14:23
Speaker 2: to be a big day of airport traveling. We don't
1:14:26
Speaker 2: have to give anybody for e meals anymore. And all
1:14:28
Speaker 2: that's all right, good, Well, that all that to say.
1:14:31
Speaker 2: I thought Trump did a great job and I think
1:14:35
Speaker 2: set the standard, the gold standard for how you do
1:14:38
Speaker 2: one of these FIFA things. That being said, it's called soccer,
1:14:43
Speaker 2: not football. All right, gotta take a break. Hour three

1:15:40
Speaker 2: how this is going to play out, but we decided
1:15:43
Speaker 2: to have the team on this segment of the show.
1:15:46

1:15:49

1:16:08
Speaker 11: Well? This is this is a crazy thing.
1:16:10
Speaker 2: Yes, we decided, we literally decided to do this during

Speaker 2: the commercial break, so we'll see how it goes. All right, Uh,
1:16:18
Speaker 2: and Ian is back? Do we have Ian's microphone working?
1:16:21
Speaker 11: We do? I'm on now.
1:16:22
Speaker 2: Oh wow, all right, well guys, good to see. First
1:16:25
Speaker 2: of all, I think we you know, we had some
1:16:27
Speaker 2: big news because Helen, you've been like on vacation for ages.
1:16:32
Speaker 17: It's true, it's true if you've been hearing the last
1:16:35
Speaker 17: week that Dylan's unenthusiastic voice on the call screening, I
1:16:40
Speaker 17: was gone unenthusiastic.
1:16:42
Speaker 11: I guess I didn't get a very good grade from Helen.
1:16:45
Speaker 11: I don't know. I thought I was pretty enthusiastic.
1:16:47
Speaker 18: I mean, I'm pretty sure into the show he did.
1:16:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, he pranked me, so we oh you got prank
1:16:54
Speaker 2: kind of yeah, Okay, we'll explain who that is in
1:16:56
Speaker 2: just a minute. I will say, we got a call
1:16:58
Speaker 2: from somebody or a text saying when's that girl coming back?
1:17:02
Speaker 2: Talking about you? Helen. So, now, Helen, you've been with
1:17:05
Speaker 2: us for what, well over how long?
1:17:07
Speaker 15: Now?
1:17:07
Speaker 19: Oh?
1:17:07
Speaker 18: Goodness?
1:17:08
Speaker 2: Like nine months, nine months, ten months? And so tell
1:17:10
Speaker 2: us a little bit about you, where you're from and
1:17:13
Speaker 2: the connection you've got to the show.
1:17:14
Speaker 17: Well, I'm from Stafford, Virginia, so I'm between DC and Richmond.
1:17:19
Speaker 17: And my sister was I think one of your first
1:17:23
Speaker 17: interns at Liberty University, and so that's how I got
1:17:26
Speaker 17: connected to you.
1:17:27
Speaker 2: It's true. So you graduated from college and came down
1:17:30
Speaker 2: here and moved to Memphis, which is like a big deal.
1:17:35
Speaker 2: Are you regretting that decision in your life?
1:17:39
Speaker 18: Not yet?
1:17:39
Speaker 2: Okay? Good, well that's good. So there, No, that's true.
1:17:44
Speaker 2: That's true. And so the reason we wanted to have
1:17:48
Speaker 2: you here, Helen, is because you went on family vacation.
1:17:53
Speaker 2: And where do you guys normally go to on vacation work.
1:17:56
Speaker 17: We go to this place called Rockport, Massachusetts. I've been
1:18:00
Speaker 17: going there since I was a child. And we were
1:18:02
Speaker 17: able to bring my boyfriend Lucas.
1:18:05
Speaker 2: With us, and so Lucas we've actually met this guy. Guys,
1:18:09
Speaker 2: you have you have as well. I think you'all been
1:18:11
Speaker 2: able to socialize. What do y'll think about Lucas here? Oh,
1:18:14
Speaker 2: he's great.
1:18:15
Speaker 7: He knows so much about servers and networking. We talked
1:18:18
Speaker 7: about that for like an hour.
1:18:20
Speaker 2: That's the tech guy. He's a tech guy.
1:18:22
Speaker 11: Yeah, he's building his own server rack, which most people
1:18:25
Speaker 11: don't will never ever do that in their life. But
1:18:28
Speaker 11: he's he's just he's very smart.
1:18:30
Speaker 2: But he's gainful. So this is good news. So so
1:18:32
Speaker 2: he has skills, he has a skill set.
1:18:34
Speaker 18: Yes.
1:18:35
Speaker 2: So the boyfriend was invited along on the family vacation,
1:18:38
Speaker 2: which is a little unusual. So I'm curious what happened
1:18:43
Speaker 2: on the vacation.
1:18:44
Speaker 17: Well, it was a big test. Like I was like,
1:18:46
Speaker 17: if you do not like Rockport, that's going to be
1:18:49
Speaker 17: a problem. But on the vacation, on the second or
1:18:52
Speaker 17: third day we were there, he took us to the
1:18:55
Speaker 17: motif number one and he got on one knee and proposed.
1:19:00
Speaker 2: Not on the knee, the whole nine yards.
1:19:02
Speaker 17: Yes, And he hired a private or a secret photographer
1:19:05
Speaker 17: that came and got the whole thing.
1:19:07
Speaker 18: So that was exciting.
1:19:08
Speaker 2: Parker. Are you taking notes?
1:19:11
Speaker 7: Definitely?
1:19:12
Speaker 2: Okay, that's oh well, Parker, that was kind of.
1:19:15
Speaker 7: Short and to the point I was gonna before that, but.
1:19:20
Speaker 2: Well, I just want to make sure because you've been
1:19:22
Speaker 2: dating this girl for what seven years or.
1:19:24
Speaker 7: Something over two years now, yes.
1:19:26
Speaker 2: Mercy, all right, so that's a long time, so you
1:19:29
Speaker 2: better get cracked in there, all right. Can we just
1:19:31
Speaker 2: take that? Can we talk about the ring here, because
1:19:33
Speaker 2: that's the one thing everybody you came back from vacation
1:19:36
Speaker 2: and it nearly took out my retnat. It's so bright.
1:19:40
Speaker 2: That is a beautiful ring.
1:19:42
Speaker 17: Yes, we have the main rock that he got, a
1:19:45
Speaker 17: lab grown one, and then there's six three on each
1:19:48
Speaker 17: side and those are his great grandmother's diamonds from her
1:19:53
Speaker 17: wedding ring.
1:19:54
Speaker 18: So it's very personal, which I like.
1:19:56
Speaker 2: Well that is that's beautiful.
1:19:58
Speaker 11: Really something, it's really something to look at.
1:20:00
Speaker 17: I made Dylan give him like, no, it's when we
1:20:03
Speaker 17: were looking up rings and I was like, Dylan said,
1:20:04
Speaker 17: you should do this.
1:20:06
Speaker 11: I'm the professional married guy here, so you know, I
1:20:08
Speaker 11: had to give him some tips. But he took it
1:20:10
Speaker 11: too far in a good way, in a great way,
1:20:13
Speaker 11: in a great way.
1:20:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, no, I remember. So we were all when
1:20:17
Speaker 2: you when you pomped the question. Yes, you may not
1:20:20
Speaker 2: be aware of this, but we were at the We
1:20:21
Speaker 2: were at your in law's home, and and every woman
1:20:25
Speaker 2: there was monitoring your every single move on. They were
1:20:29
Speaker 2: tracking you on their iPhones.
1:20:30
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean that's the whole thing. And most of
1:20:32
Speaker 11: them were out of town, so I get that. But
1:20:34
Speaker 11: even even Mary and my wife, she knew that they
1:20:37
Speaker 11: were in town because she didn't they didn't turn their
1:20:39
Speaker 11: locations off. That was like the one thing I asked,
1:20:41
Speaker 11: but it was fine, you know, they were there, and
1:20:43
Speaker 11: she she knew, like I'm sure Helen knew before that
1:20:47
Speaker 11: I was even going to ask. She knew that I
1:20:48
Speaker 11: was going to ask that day, so you know, it's whatever,
1:20:51
Speaker 11: no surprise for me.
1:20:53
Speaker 17: I was tempted to mess with him. I like seeing
1:20:56
Speaker 17: those videos. Parker and I were talking about this of
1:20:58
Speaker 17: the guy making the girl got like we're going on
1:21:01
Speaker 17: a walk right now, and the girl's being like, well,
1:21:02
Speaker 17: I'm tired, No, put on your best dress.
1:21:04
Speaker 18: We're going out on this long hike, and then the
1:21:07
Speaker 18: one knee after.
1:21:09
Speaker 17: I wanted to mess with Lucas because I started figuring
1:21:12
Speaker 17: out that it was coming up, and I was like
1:21:14
Speaker 17: let's go into every shop. And when he's like, no,
1:21:17
Speaker 17: let's go over here, I'd be like, well, I want
1:21:19
Speaker 17: to try all these clothes on just to.
1:21:21
Speaker 18: Mess with it. But I was I was nice.
1:21:24
Speaker 7: Now I talked about that, not saying I would ever
1:21:27
Speaker 7: do that or but that is very good comedy.
1:21:33
Speaker 11: He he didn't put the ring in his pocket. He
1:21:36
Speaker 11: told us like I did, Like, I put the ring
1:21:38
Speaker 11: in my pocket, and I'm thinking, like, no one, I'll
1:21:41
Speaker 11: know this giant box sitting out of my pocket it's
1:21:43
Speaker 11: a phone. Where he put it in his sock, didn't he?
1:21:46
Speaker 13: Yeah?
1:21:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well he put the ring in the sock.
1:21:50
Speaker 17: He knew I was looking at his pockets, and so
1:21:54
Speaker 17: he put it in his sock. And you can see
1:21:56
Speaker 17: in the photos when he's on one knee, his like
1:21:59
Speaker 17: golf sock is showing all the teas on it in
1:22:02
Speaker 17: the golf balls.
1:22:03
Speaker 18: So that's really funny.
1:22:04
Speaker 11: You're a romantic.
1:22:05
Speaker 2: Good picture, that is romantic. I'm well, this is exciting.
1:22:08
Speaker 2: So so did you say?
1:22:09
Speaker 11: Yes?
1:22:09
Speaker 18: I did?
1:22:10
Speaker 2: All right, we I just don't leave the audience hanging here. Well, congratulations,
1:22:13
Speaker 2: this is exciting.
1:22:14
Speaker 17: That would be very sad if we come on the
1:22:16
Speaker 17: show and we're like, well, we have a good story.
1:22:18
Speaker 17: Helen says no to a proposal.
1:22:20
Speaker 2: Well, it is good for us, you know, because you
1:22:22
Speaker 2: wouldn't be you know, moving, you know, as the case
1:22:26
Speaker 2: may be. But that's a long time off exactly. Yes, Okay,
1:22:30
Speaker 2: well that's good to you. So we're we're happy about
1:22:32
Speaker 2: that part of it. So anyway, folks, if you have
1:22:35
Speaker 2: any advice for Helen, because you're I mean, this is
1:22:40
Speaker 2: first time getting married, you know, so I'm sure there's
1:22:43
Speaker 2: gonna be lots of.
1:22:43
Speaker 18: Questions, hopefully the last time getting married too.
1:22:45
Speaker 2: First and last. I love that. So that's great. So
1:22:48
Speaker 2: have you guys picked a location everything? I suspect your
1:22:51
Speaker 2: mom already has everything planned out.
1:22:53
Speaker 17: She was looking at venues before he had even popped
1:22:56
Speaker 17: the question.
1:22:57
Speaker 11: So but yeah, I don't have to do that now.
1:23:00
Speaker 18: I know that's a lot of work that.
1:23:02
Speaker 11: Years in advance. Oh it's terrible.
1:23:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, And Parker, the good news is you're a guy,
1:23:07
Speaker 2: so you really don't have to do anything.
1:23:09
Speaker 7: That is true. That is something that like, I'm not
1:23:12
Speaker 7: looking forward to, But no, I don't have all of
1:23:14
Speaker 7: that pressure. Is comforting.
1:23:15
Speaker 2: You just have to show up, show up and look
1:23:18
Speaker 2: good and look good business.
1:23:19
Speaker 18: Lucas owner.
1:23:21
Speaker 17: Lucas only wants to deal with what food we're having.
1:23:24
Speaker 17: That's the only thing he cares about. He's like, what
1:23:25
Speaker 17: food are we having?
1:23:26
Speaker 7: That's important.
1:23:27
Speaker 11: That's what I cared about. Yeah, in the band, that's
1:23:29
Speaker 11: that's those two things. That's what I cared about.
1:23:32
Speaker 18: Well, you're a music major, so the band makes sense.
1:23:34
Speaker 2: You can't, Yeah, you can't show up and like have
1:23:37
Speaker 2: like cucumber sandwiches. Oh, you've got to have a hearty meal.
1:23:40
Speaker 11: I was fine with Chick fil a.

Speaker 7: That's a good idea.
1:23:44
Speaker 2: That's great wedding stuff.
1:23:45
Speaker 11: I've seen it happen and it was a really good wedding.
1:23:47
Speaker 2: Or like a I don't know from Lenny's, a big
1:23:49
Speaker 2: you know you multiple footlog sandwiches.
1:23:52

1:24:07
Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. That's
1:24:10
Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six guys.
1:24:13
Speaker 2: The other big story has been the release of Odyssey,
1:24:18
Speaker 2: the movie. I'm hearing very very mixed reviews about this.
1:24:22
Speaker 11: Really.
1:24:23
Speaker 2: Ben Shapiro says it is the best movie ever made.
1:24:27
Speaker 2: You gotta go see it, and then a lot of
1:24:29
Speaker 2: other conservatives are like, no, this is terrible, it's woke.
1:24:33
Speaker 2: And you you said you went to go see it.
1:24:35
Speaker 11: I did. I went yesterday. We saw it in Imax.
1:24:37
Speaker 11: We do have an Imax theater here. It weirdly, it's
1:24:41
Speaker 11: not seventy milimeters if you care about that stuff. He
1:24:43
Speaker 11: made it for like the ultra Imax. I thought it
1:24:46
Speaker 11: was great. I gave it a nine out of ten. Really,
1:24:48
Speaker 11: the politics of it, I don't really know. I don't
1:24:51
Speaker 11: really notice anything that would have been considered woke, unless
1:24:54
Speaker 11: you want to call Elliott Page that actress or actor
1:24:57
Speaker 11: who turned whatever. Well, I don't even I genuinely don't
1:25:00
Speaker 11: know the gender of this person. That's the confusing party.
1:25:03
Speaker 11: She's like something, she's a girl and and plays a
1:25:08
Speaker 11: man in the movie. If you want to call that woke, yeah,
1:25:10
Speaker 11: I means woke, but very short part that was That's
1:25:14
Speaker 11: what I wanted to know. Was this a main role
1:25:16
Speaker 11: here or not?
1:25:17
Speaker 2: She's only like five two, so very short.
1:25:20
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm not going to spoil what happens to her.
1:25:22
Speaker 11: But the movie overall is great. Christopher Nolan makes really
1:25:25
Speaker 11: good movies. He made Interstellar, Inception, all the Batman movies,
1:25:30
Speaker 11: so I knew that it was going to be good,
1:25:32
Speaker 11: regardless of you know, mixed reviews.
1:25:34
Speaker 2: So your recommendation is to go and see it.
1:25:36
Speaker 11: I would. I would recommend it if you're into Greek mythology,
1:25:39
Speaker 11: if you're into the whole Aliad, the Odyssey, that stuff.
1:25:42
Speaker 11: They do a really good job. They do leave out
1:25:44
Speaker 11: stuff from the book, but you know, it's a movie.
1:25:47
Speaker 2: Ian. Did you go and see the movie this week?
1:25:50
Speaker 2: You're like a big movie guy.
1:25:51
Speaker 11: I am a big movie guy. But I have not
1:25:53
Speaker 11: seen The Odyssey. I'm not up to date with all
1:25:55
Speaker 11: of the information about it.
1:25:58
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:25:58
Speaker 11: Well, I didn't read the book. I didn't actually read it.
1:26:00
Speaker 11: My wife did. She's all into that. She's like Poseidon
1:26:04
Speaker 11: Zeus Athena.
1:26:06
Speaker 18: Did you see the old movie.
1:26:08
Speaker 11: No, the one from nineteen fifty Yeah, I didn't.
1:26:11
Speaker 17: Okay, because a lot of people have been saying about
1:26:14
Speaker 17: the cyclops looking different, what did you think of how
1:26:17
Speaker 17: the cyclopes.
1:26:18
Speaker 11: The Cyclops looked a lot different. Yeah, so in the
1:26:20
Speaker 11: nineteen fifties version they made the cyclops look like a
1:26:23
Speaker 11: man with a beard with one eye. This one was
1:26:25
Speaker 11: like a monster that was huge that it was scary.
1:26:29
Speaker 11: This is a borderline horror film. If you go see it, Wow,
1:26:33
Speaker 11: it is scary.
1:26:34
Speaker 2: Okay, this I'm not sure. Yeah, I'm not a big
1:26:37
Speaker 2: horror movie guy.
1:26:38
Speaker 11: It's an epic an epic horror.
1:26:40
Speaker 2: An epic horror movie. All right. Maybe you know we
1:26:43
Speaker 2: were trying to figure out we're doing like a group
1:26:45
Speaker 2: We've been putting this off forever, but doing a group
1:26:48
Speaker 2: activity together, and we came up with Olive Garden.
1:26:52
Speaker 11: Is that you can blame me in the intern.
1:26:54
Speaker 2: Ian we talk to me about your passion, your love
1:26:58
Speaker 2: affair with Olive Garden.
1:26:59
Speaker 11: I just really like Oli. Is it authentic Italian?
1:27:03
Speaker 17: Absolutely not, But it's nice, it's clean, and I've always
1:27:07
Speaker 17: gone there.
1:27:08
Speaker 11: With my family.
1:27:08
Speaker 7: That was like our weekend thing.
1:27:11
Speaker 11: They do have unlimited breadsticks. It's soup and salad, soup
1:27:14
Speaker 11: and salad, well soup.
1:27:16
Speaker 2: Parker Olive Garden.
1:27:19
Speaker 7: It's just not the first place I'm ever gonna think of.
1:27:22
Speaker 7: I don't think I've ever gone out of my way
1:27:24
Speaker 7: to go to Olive Garden. But it is good.
1:27:26
Speaker 2: I forgot I keep forgetting its ears, like literally right
1:27:29
Speaker 2: around the corner. Yeah, we can walk the building, so
1:27:31
Speaker 2: all right, maybe we should all right, well, guys, before
1:27:34
Speaker 2: we go here, this story from the New York Post.
1:27:37
Speaker 2: Parents are and this could be for you, guys, Dylan,
1:27:40
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, little little parent. Yeah, future parent.
1:27:44
Speaker 2: Parents are giving babies giant melons to hug. Wow, that
1:27:49
Speaker 2: headline could go a very bad way. It's adorable, but
1:27:54
Speaker 2: there's a good reason for it. So we're not talking
1:27:56
Speaker 2: about we're talking about actual watermelons. They call them winter melons,
1:28:01
Speaker 2: and parents in China have been seen nestling giant winter
1:28:04
Speaker 2: melons in their baby's crib to help keep their bodies cool.
1:28:09
Speaker 11: Don't I don't know why you can't just go buy
1:28:12
Speaker 11: a Teddy Bear at toys RS.
1:28:16
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm sitting here looking at a photograph here from
1:28:20
Speaker 2: the New York Post of a idallo a toddler mounting
1:28:24
Speaker 2: a melon in the in the bed in the crib.
1:28:26
Speaker 11: Are you eating the melon after the toddler cuddles it?
1:28:30
Speaker 2: That is disgusting. Yeah, But in China, it turns out
1:28:34
Speaker 2: that parents let their kids and their pets lean against
1:28:37
Speaker 2: winter melons to cool down during the hot summer days.
1:28:40
Speaker 2: Over ninety five percent water content and winter melons stay
1:28:44
Speaker 2: cool longer and absorb body heaped. Would you, guys, would
1:28:49
Speaker 2: you go to bed with a melon?
1:28:53
Speaker 7: Absolutely not.
1:28:55
Speaker 11: I'll try it. If it works in China, it might
1:28:57
Speaker 11: work here. I don't know.
1:28:58
Speaker 18: It's not a waste of food, Like are you eating it?
1:29:01
Speaker 18: After you?
1:29:01
Speaker 11: What's a winter melon? I only eat melons in the summer.
1:29:05
Speaker 2: I think it's like a watermelon.
1:29:06
Speaker 11: Yeah, but like.
1:29:07
Speaker 18: It's not like cantalopeer honeydew.
1:29:09
Speaker 11: What is this like keeping you cool?
1:29:10
Speaker 2: Thing?
1:29:11
Speaker 11: I don't know.
1:29:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, the cantilope a rough. I don't know. That would
1:29:14
Speaker 2: be like, yeah, you know, they'd be chafing it.
1:29:16
Speaker 11: That's the punishment. At the child cries too much, you
1:29:18
Speaker 11: just replace it with a candle.
1:29:19
Speaker 2: Log definitely, Ian Ian the intern you into a melonser
1:29:23
Speaker 2: to you?
1:29:24
Speaker 3: You know.
1:29:25
Speaker 6: I always sleep with the ac on fool and two blankets.
1:29:28
Speaker 11: That's why I sleep.
1:29:29
Speaker 7: So I wouldn't really think the melon would fit into the.
1:29:32
Speaker 2: Car as any red blooded American man should do. Sixty
1:29:36
Speaker 2: seven degrees. That's what the thermos set should sixty seven.
1:29:39
Speaker 2: You're so right with blankets. All right, we've got to
1:29:42
Speaker 2: take a break here, guys, back to I will let
1:29:44
Speaker 2: you get back to work, so I guess all right,
1:29:47
Speaker 2: So anyway, we'll try to we'll try to bring the
1:29:49
Speaker 2: team back on occasionally a Dlan, Helen Parker and Ian guys.
1:29:54
Speaker 2: Thank you. We've got to take a break here. Nine
1:29:56
Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six are number.
1:29:59
Speaker 2: That's nine one two six zero five nine two six.
1:30:02
Speaker 2: This is the Todd Sterns Show. All right, welcome back everybody.
1:30:23
Speaker 2: It is the Ton Stearns Radio Show. And I have
1:30:26
Speaker 2: to tell you I really do have the greatest staff
1:30:29
Speaker 2: in all of talk radio. Just great, great young people.
1:30:32
Speaker 2: You know. The one challenge, the one challenge to doing
1:30:36
Speaker 2: it like this is that we unfortunately these kids get
1:30:41
Speaker 2: they grow up and then they get married and they
1:30:45
Speaker 2: end up moving away. And the good thing, the positive
1:30:49
Speaker 2: part of that is we still keep track with everybody,
1:30:52
Speaker 2: and which is great, but we would rather keep people
1:30:55
Speaker 2: around for you know, ten fifteen, twenty years. So Parker,
1:30:58
Speaker 2: when you graduate, you got Tom back. I'll try that's
1:31:03
Speaker 2: the rule, all right. Nine oh one two six zero
1:31:08
Speaker 2: five nine two six, and we're getting a bit of
1:31:10
Speaker 2: an echo here, guys, So if we can fix that,
1:31:12
Speaker 2: thank you. This news just coming in from President Trump.
1:31:17
Speaker 2: So Zoron Mandami, the communist mayor of New York City,
1:31:23
Speaker 2: has announced that he is threatening to arrest Israeli Prime
1:31:26
Speaker 2: Minister Benjamin and Yahoo, and the President weighing in on this.
1:31:30
Speaker 2: The President says net Yahoo will not be arrested in
1:31:34
Speaker 2: any way, shape or form. While in the United States
1:31:38
Speaker 2: of America, he is fighting against the Islamic Republic of Iran,
1:31:42
Speaker 2: which recently killed fifty two thousand innocent protesters and spent
1:31:47
Speaker 2: the last forty seven years killing American soldiers and others.
1:31:51
Speaker 2: The only ones that should be arrested are the people
1:31:55
Speaker 2: that led Iran into this unprecedented spiral of death and destruction,
1:32:00
Speaker 2: something that should have been dealt with years ago by
1:32:02
Speaker 2: previous president. So there you have it. I mean, how
1:32:08
Speaker 2: is he going to do that? How is me and
1:32:09
Speaker 2: Donny going to arrest Benjamin and y'allhoo? What does that
1:32:13
Speaker 2: actually look like? Are we going to dispatch the NYPD
1:32:19
Speaker 2: down to the United Nations? I mean, come on, give
1:32:21
Speaker 2: me a break here. Unbelievable. By the way, Tom Holman
1:32:26
Speaker 2: just moments ago, and he's really fired up. Tom Holman,
1:32:31
Speaker 2: the borders are telling reporters at the White House, I
1:32:35
Speaker 2: can't even get a I can't even get a carton
1:32:37
Speaker 2: of milk at a grocery store without a security detail.
1:32:41
Speaker 2: Why because I'm enforcing laws. It's pathetic and it's disgusting.
1:32:48
Speaker 2: He's talking about the attack today right outside the Federal building.
1:32:52
Speaker 2: He says, this is not just an attack on the
1:32:54
Speaker 2: ice agents. It's an attack on their spouses and children.
1:32:57
Speaker 2: No one knows that better than me. So all I
1:33:00
Speaker 2: can tell you is God bless Tom Holman. I mean,
1:33:02
Speaker 2: he's a great patriot. But we've got to we've got
1:33:06
Speaker 2: to double down here, folks. We've got to double down,
1:33:09
Speaker 2: and we've got to get these illegals out of our country.
1:33:12
Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
1:33:15
Speaker 2: our number, that's nine oh one two six zero five
1:33:18
Speaker 2: nine two six. This is the Tod Stearns Show. All right,
1:33:37
Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody. It is the Todd Sterns Radio Show,
1:33:40
Speaker 2: and we're just so honored to have you with us today.
1:33:44
Speaker 2: Someone said, is it true your staff is gen z?
1:33:46
Speaker 2: Absolutely and I love it. Some of that let me
1:33:50
Speaker 2: tell you something. You know, I think a lot of
1:33:52
Speaker 2: times gen Z gets a bad rap, and I think
1:33:57
Speaker 2: when you take a look at the generation as a whole,
1:34:02
Speaker 2: I mean, these are some good, solid young people. These
1:34:04
Speaker 2: are great American patriots and the younger version of gen
1:34:08
Speaker 2: Z hard workers. They are so dependable, and they really
1:34:14
Speaker 2: are committed to the conservative traditional values. And I think
1:34:18
Speaker 2: everybody on our team is actually ascribes to those conservative values.
1:34:23
Speaker 2: So for me, I know, absolutely hands down, very thankful
1:34:28
Speaker 2: and grateful for the team that we've assembled here. Well,
1:34:32
Speaker 2: AOC was in Memphis the other day, and I want
1:34:36
Speaker 2: to play some audio. She's making some headlines because she
1:34:40
Speaker 2: debuted a new accent here in the mid South. Let's
1:34:44
Speaker 2: take a lesson.
1:34:46
Speaker 20: We cannot afford to leave Tennessee behind. We cannot afford
1:34:52
Speaker 20: to leave Kentucky behind, Alabama behind, Mississippi behind, Georgia behind
1:34:59
Speaker 20: South Carolina behind.
1:35:01
Speaker 2: You can kiss my behind, Okay, nobody talks. Nobody talks
1:35:08
Speaker 2: like that here.
1:35:09
Speaker 11: That's not.
1:35:12
Speaker 2: And if they did, I would have to move. So
1:35:15
Speaker 2: I just you know, again, I don't know what it
1:35:17
Speaker 2: is in these Democrats, but every time they show up
1:35:19
Speaker 2: in a church, you know, they put on these airs
1:35:22
Speaker 2: and they have these fake accents. It's it's really aw
1:35:26
Speaker 2: putty hannasy. Behind Georgia, behind South Carolina? Did you mention Arkansas?
1:35:35
Speaker 2: I don't think she can. We can we play that again, Parker.
1:35:39
Speaker 20: We cannot afford to leave Tennessee behind. We cannot afford
1:35:46
Speaker 20: to leave Kentucky behind, Alabama behind, Mississippi, behind, Georgia, behind
1:35:52
Speaker 20: South Carolina behind.
1:35:55
Speaker 2: Oh she forgot Arkansas. How do you forget Arkansas? Come on, man, anyway,
1:36:02
Speaker 2: this audio is it's a story. This is a horrible story.
1:36:08
Speaker 2: So a lot of you folks, you own your home,
1:36:12
Speaker 2: and so if you're going to be out of town
1:36:14
Speaker 2: or maybe you're on vacation, you'll just you'll rent it
1:36:17
Speaker 2: out on what Airbnb? Is that that's a big thing.
1:36:20
Speaker 2: I can't do that. I just I feel weird about
1:36:25
Speaker 2: sleeping where somebody else I don't have slept. I just
1:36:28
Speaker 2: don't give me the ritz Carlton, all right, I'll stay
1:36:32
Speaker 2: at the Waldorf Astoria. But I'm not a big you know,
1:36:36
Speaker 2: sleeping in somebody's house. So this guy, this is terrible story,
1:36:42
Speaker 2: sank about a million dollars into restoring a house he
1:36:45
Speaker 2: had purchased. And so anyway, the guy was thoughny was
1:36:50
Speaker 2: renting it out to a family, but instead two hundred
1:36:53
Speaker 2: black kids showed up, teenagers, young people, and literally destroy
1:37:00
Speaker 2: the man's house in just one night. Take a listen
1:37:04
Speaker 2: got three.
1:37:06
Speaker 5: The damage is devastating and disgusting. Floors wet with backed
1:37:09
Speaker 5: up sewage, a one hundred and fifty year old piano, destroyed,
1:37:13
Speaker 5: broken windows, and the pool littered with debris. This is
1:37:17
Speaker 5: the aftermath of a wild party promoted on the internet
1:37:19
Speaker 5: at this house in Monroe that was.
1:37:21
Speaker 19: Snatched, glass everywhere, garbage everywhere. When I jumped by the
1:37:25
Speaker 19: property during the party, I could see there had to
1:37:28
Speaker 19: be at least one hundred and fifty to two hundred
1:37:30
Speaker 19: people in the swimming.
1:37:31
Speaker 2: Pool off camera.
1:37:32
Speaker 5: The owner says he listed the house on booking dot
1:37:34
Speaker 5: com and believed he was renting the mansion on Sapphire
1:37:36
Speaker 5: Road to a.
1:37:37
Speaker 11: Family for the weekend.
1:37:39
Speaker 5: Instead, it was the target of Project X, a party
1:37:41
Speaker 5: promoted on social media. The exact address withheld until the
1:37:45
Speaker 5: day of the event. With an hour's vehicles clogged the
1:37:48
Speaker 5: street as partygoers arrived.
1:37:50
Speaker 19: It had to be hundreds and hundreds of cars and yeah,
1:37:53
Speaker 19: just something like this area is really not used to
1:37:56
Speaker 19: or not honestly equipped.
1:37:57
Speaker 5: For police were called, but the location is in the
1:38:00
Speaker 5: unincorporated part of Manu, patrolled by state police, which only
1:38:03
Speaker 5: enforced state.
1:38:04
Speaker 11: Laws, not local ordinances.
1:38:06
Speaker 5: Still, the town supervisor says she believes the party should.
1:38:09
Speaker 21: Have been shut down based on the description of damage
1:38:13
Speaker 21: trespassing what probably was underage drinking. Someone found needles that implicated,
1:38:19
Speaker 21: you know, unless in drug use. I was just shocked
1:38:21
Speaker 21: that there wasn't probable cause for the state police to
1:38:26
Speaker 21: respond appropriately.
1:38:28
Speaker 5: The party went on until the wee hours of Sunday.
1:38:30
Speaker 5: By the time the owner arrived from out of town,
1:38:33
Speaker 5: many neighbors had cleaned up most of the debris on
1:38:35
Speaker 5: the road.
1:38:35
Speaker 19: Well, they all felt horrible for the homeowner. I mean,
1:38:38
Speaker 19: he put so much effort and energy into building that
1:38:41
Speaker 19: has into a really beautiful place. I mean, when we
1:38:46
Speaker 19: saw all the destruction, we just all pitched in and
1:38:48
Speaker 19: started cleaning up.
1:38:50
Speaker 5: The homeowner, town supervisor, and neighbors all expressing relief that
1:38:53
Speaker 5: no one was hurt. Any event that could have ended badly.
1:38:58
Speaker 2: A terrible story. But I just want to throw this
1:39:00
Speaker 2: out there now. Imagine if you will, that the homeowner
1:39:06
Speaker 2: had asked an advance to meet in person with the
1:39:09
Speaker 2: individuals that were going to be renting the home for
1:39:11
Speaker 2: the weekend, or if he had asked for I don't know,
1:39:14
Speaker 2: photographs and a resume, and based upon that information, the
1:39:19
Speaker 2: homeowner said, Nope, can't, Nope, not gonna do it, not
1:39:22
Speaker 2: gonna rent to you. How much you want to bet
1:39:25
Speaker 2: that homeowner would have been would have been dragged through
1:39:29
Speaker 2: the national media cycle and accused of being a racist
1:39:32
Speaker 2: who refused to rent his home to two hundred black
1:39:35
Speaker 2: young scholars who just wanted to have a lovely afternoon
1:39:38
Speaker 2: at the pool and enjoy a lovely tea party. How
1:39:42
Speaker 2: many you know? You know, that's exactly what would have happened,
1:39:48
Speaker 2: just telling you. So the lesson here is don't rent
1:39:51
Speaker 2: your home out to anybody. Just tell him to go
1:39:54
Speaker 2: tell him to go down to the Motel six. That's
1:39:57
Speaker 2: what I would say. Oh, this interesting blo here trying
1:40:01
Speaker 2: to get some stories worked in because I was not
1:40:04
Speaker 2: pithy in the first hour of the radio program and
1:40:07
Speaker 2: just went on and on and on in my apologies,
1:40:10
Speaker 2: and I have a lot to say about socialism. Harry Sisson,
1:40:13
Speaker 2: who is one of the Democrat soy boys, and this
1:40:17
Speaker 2: guy I have seen spaghetti noodles with more muscles than
1:40:21
Speaker 2: this guy. And he's and is what mid twenties, and
1:40:26
Speaker 2: he's really one of the soy boys. And he was
1:40:30
Speaker 2: on Don Lemon's podcast the other day, and Don Lemon,
1:40:35
Speaker 2: of course is well Don Lemon. And it was there
1:40:40
Speaker 2: that Harry Syson threw down and said it he wanted
1:40:43
Speaker 2: to box Stephen Miller take a list of to cut six.
1:40:47
Speaker 22: And I've suggested to people before and interviews, I'm like,
1:40:50
Speaker 22: I want to fight them. I think I like fight yeah, yeah, yeah,
1:40:55
Speaker 22: Like if Stephen Miller would agree, or one of the
1:40:57
Speaker 22: Trump children, or like anybody in the administration, I want to.
1:41:00
Speaker 2: Do you know what that I would go paid to
1:41:03
Speaker 2: see on the White House.
1:41:04
Speaker 3: Low.
1:41:04
Speaker 22: That's what I'm saying in the UFC. Why are we
1:41:06
Speaker 22: doing the UFC event? Why don't we just settle some
1:41:08
Speaker 22: political beef. I'll take anybody in the White I box
1:41:11
Speaker 22: for four years, and if they want to, I'd get
1:41:13
Speaker 22: back into training camp, get in the best shape of
1:41:15
Speaker 22: my life and go fight one of them.
1:41:17
Speaker 2: I would do it too.
1:41:18
Speaker 9: Yeah.
1:41:18
Speaker 22: That's why I feel like there's so many people that
1:41:20
Speaker 22: would do it.
1:41:21
Speaker 2: Okay, Don got gotta reel in the gaate just to
1:41:24
Speaker 2: smidge their don gotta really Oh I would too, I
1:41:28
Speaker 2: would love to. I would love to engage in fisticuffs. Wow.
1:41:34
Speaker 2: First of all, Harry Sisson's voice changed. Wow. All right, congratulations.
1:41:39
Speaker 2: I mean, look, sometimes guys are laid bloomers. And if
1:41:41
Speaker 2: you're twenty five and your voice drops a few octaves,
1:41:45
Speaker 2: good for you, Harry. System. So anyway, no word from
1:41:48
Speaker 2: the White House on whether or not they would agree
1:41:51
Speaker 2: to them to box Steven Miller and or Don Lemon
1:41:56
Speaker 2: for that matter, but we'll keep you updated if that,
1:42:00
Speaker 2: if that happens. You can't see this in the again,
1:42:04
Speaker 2: that's the audio, but the video Don Lemon tries to
1:42:08
Speaker 2: he tries to emulate a fistfighter. Oh, you mean, like
1:42:11
Speaker 2: fifty cuffs and it's like his wrist stop. It's like
1:42:15
Speaker 2: whatever muscles or tendons he doesn't have in his wrist,
1:42:19
Speaker 2: and so his hands were just flopping around. It's like, yeah,
1:42:22
Speaker 2: you're not going to be able to box with those.
1:42:24
Speaker 2: You got to have some. You got to be able
1:42:26
Speaker 2: to grip, Don, You've got to be able to grip
1:42:28
Speaker 2: all right? Uh. Ted Cruz offering some commentary here we
1:42:34
Speaker 2: had what was it AOC before she went down to Memphis.
1:42:38
Speaker 2: AOC was standing on the steps of the US Capitol
1:42:41
Speaker 2: building and she was asked about abolishing the Senate. So this,
1:42:45
Speaker 2: this is the latest. This is actually in the Democrat
1:42:48
Speaker 2: Socialist platform. They want to abolish the US Senate and
1:42:54
Speaker 2: they say as an AOC actually actually reiterated this on
1:42:59
Speaker 2: the stay of the Capital. AOC says that the Senate
1:43:04
Speaker 2: was actually created out of Jim Crow, which is simply
1:43:10
Speaker 2: not true. Jim Crow came about in the aftermath of
1:43:15
Speaker 2: the Civil War late in the mid eighteen sixties. The
1:43:19
Speaker 2: Senate was created in seventeen eighty seven. And the whole
1:43:24
Speaker 2: point of the Senate, there is a significant difference between
1:43:28
Speaker 2: the Senate and the House, and it was very intentional.
1:43:30
Speaker 2: This is what the framers of the Constitution intended. That
1:43:34
Speaker 2: the Senate be a deliberative body and then the House
1:43:40
Speaker 2: would be the more popular influence. So representation in the
1:43:44
Speaker 2: House is based upon population. And then every state in
1:43:49
Speaker 2: the Union gets two senators to balance everything out. And
1:43:52
Speaker 2: now the Democrat Socialists want to abolish the US Senate. Well,
1:43:57
Speaker 2: then ten Cruz is going going around and around with
1:44:02
Speaker 2: the Senator Herono, who is one of the low information
1:44:05
Speaker 2: senators in the US Senate about exactly who is responsible
1:44:12
Speaker 2: we're being the party of racism. I want you to
1:44:15
Speaker 2: take a listen to cut five.
1:44:16
Speaker 10: Please, So why don't you just stop lecturing the rest
1:44:19
Speaker 10: of us.
1:44:20
Speaker 18: Just because you think you are the smartest person in
1:44:22
Speaker 18: the world.
1:44:23
Speaker 10: Doesn't mean the rest of us agree to that.
1:44:25
Speaker 14: Okay, thanks you, said Senator Herono.
1:44:27
Speaker 9: I knew Diane.
1:44:30
Speaker 14: Just a moment ago, our colleague, Senator Herono said, there's
1:44:33
Speaker 14: a lot more to say, and indeed she's right, and
1:44:37
Speaker 14: in fact, I want to go back to her comments.
1:44:39
Speaker 14: She began by saying, we have a long history of
1:44:41
Speaker 14: racial discrimination in this country. That's undoubtedly correct, and then
1:44:46
Speaker 14: she said, quote, we had poll taxes, we had literacy tests.
1:44:51
Speaker 14: We even had tests of how many jelly beans are
1:44:53
Speaker 14: in a jar. Mister Chamberlain, When Senator Herono says we
1:44:57
Speaker 14: had poll taxes, I want to ask you who we
1:45:01
Speaker 14: is and in particular, what party was it that implemented
1:45:05
Speaker 14: poll taxes in the South.
1:45:07
Speaker 6: And I don't want to necessarily speak in every single case,
1:45:09
Speaker 6: but I'm pretty confident it was mostly the Democrats.
1:45:12
Speaker 14: And what party was it that put literacy tests in place.
1:45:15
Speaker 14: In the South, the same answer, mostly the Democrats. And
1:45:18
Speaker 14: what party was it that had tests like how many
1:45:19
Speaker 14: jellybeans are in a bottle?
1:45:21
Speaker 2: The Democrats?
1:45:22
Speaker 14: Tell me what party were the founders that the Ku
1:45:26
Speaker 14: Klux Klan from.
1:45:28
Speaker 11: I'm pretty sure that was the Democrats.
1:45:30
Speaker 14: Indeed, in fact, Nathan Bedford Forrest, the founder of the Klan,
1:45:34
Speaker 14: was a delegate to the eighteen sixty Democrat National Convention.
1:45:38
Speaker 14: What party wrote the Jim Crow laws in the South,
1:45:41
Speaker 14: the Democrats and so on this side of the aisle
1:45:46
Speaker 14: were members of the Republican Party, who was the first
1:45:49
Speaker 14: Republican President, Abraham Lincoln. The Republican Party was literally founded
1:45:55
Speaker 14: to oppose slavery. We came into existence because slavery was
1:45:59
Speaker 14: a growth test evil. And it was President Lincoln, the
1:46:03
Speaker 14: first Republican president, who signed the Emancipation Proclamation, who won
1:46:08
Speaker 14: the Civil War and that resulted in the freeing of
1:46:12
Speaker 14: the slaves and the passage of the thirteenth, fourteenth, and
1:46:14
Speaker 14: fifteenth Amendments. By the way, fast forward to the civil
1:46:19
Speaker 14: rights era. Bull Connor one of the most noxiously racist politicians.
1:46:26
Speaker 14: What party was he from?
1:46:27
Speaker 9: He was a Democrat.
1:46:29
Speaker 14: The Democrats. For the entire history of their party have
1:46:34
Speaker 14: been a party based on racial discrimination.
1:46:40
Speaker 2: And there you go, ladies and gentlemen. That's it in
1:46:44
Speaker 2: a nutshell. And of course all of this gets lost
1:46:48
Speaker 2: in the mainstream media narrative when you look at what
1:46:52
Speaker 2: happened in the nineteen sixties. And there are a couple
1:46:55
Speaker 2: of great movies. Brian Cranston did a terrific job what
1:46:59
Speaker 2: doy Harold's and Brian Kranston both had movies where they
1:47:02
Speaker 2: portrayed LBJ. And I really do believe that the Brian
1:47:06
Speaker 2: Kranston version was the better. But they're both great movies,
1:47:09
Speaker 2: and I'd encourage you to watch it, only to understand
1:47:12
Speaker 2: that it was the Democrats who stood in the way
1:47:16
Speaker 2: of the Civil Rights Act. It was the Democrats. It
1:47:20
Speaker 2: was the Republicans who took great exception and took a
1:47:24
Speaker 2: stand for black Americans across America. As a matter of fact,
1:47:28
Speaker 2: going back to the nineteen twenties, it was black Americans
1:47:32
Speaker 2: in Memphis, Tennessee, who were very involved in the National
1:47:36
Speaker 2: Republican Party here in Memphis. The efforts among black Republicans
1:47:42
Speaker 2: resonated across the entire nation. Of course, you would not
1:47:46
Speaker 2: know that nowadays because they don't teach that part of
1:47:49
Speaker 2: history in our taxpayer funded classrooms. So good for Ted
1:47:54
Speaker 2: Cruz first eanning up and saying what needed to be said,
1:47:58
Speaker 2: and again setting their record straight. That's what this is
1:48:02
Speaker 2: all about. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
1:48:05
Speaker 2: two six is our telephone? Eever, that's nine oh one
1:48:07
Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six. I want to
1:48:10
Speaker 2: put a put a pin in the socialism conversation. If
1:48:17
Speaker 2: if our churches, if the predominantly white evangelical Christian churches,
1:48:23
Speaker 2: do not rise up and condemn socialism, we are going
1:48:29
Speaker 2: to lose this country. It is really that simple. And
1:48:32
Speaker 2: if you go to my website you'll see my warning.
1:48:35
Speaker 2: I wrote out my thoughts and I put them on
1:48:38
Speaker 2: the website for you to see for yourself. But if
1:48:41
Speaker 2: we do not, if we do not address the scourge
1:48:45
Speaker 2: of socialism, that is something that needs to happen in
1:48:48
Speaker 2: our church houses because it will have a direct influence
1:48:51
Speaker 2: on what we are able to do as people of
1:48:54
Speaker 2: faith in this country. And I don't know about you,
1:48:57
Speaker 2: I do not want to have to worship in an
1:48:59
Speaker 2: underground I mean I will if I have to, but
1:49:02
Speaker 2: I would prefer not to. So if that means standing
1:49:06
Speaker 2: up and addressing the big issues of the day from
1:49:09
Speaker 2: the pulpit. And I'm not talking about every single Sunday,
1:49:12
Speaker 2: but i am talking about those issues that are front
1:49:16
Speaker 2: and center and happening in the now. Those need to
1:49:19
Speaker 2: be addressed from our Pulpits not from a Republican or
1:49:23
Speaker 2: a Democrat point of view, but what the Bible says
1:49:26
Speaker 2: about the issue. Unfortunately, many churches just will not go
1:49:31
Speaker 2: down that path. And again I would encourage you to
1:49:34
Speaker 2: pre order a copy right now of the Golden Age.
1:49:37
Speaker 2: You're going to need this book because it provides you
1:49:39
Speaker 2: the path forward and how we carry on the America
1:49:43
Speaker 2: First Movement well into the twenty first century. Just a
1:49:47
Speaker 2: reminder as we go to break if you do pre order,
1:49:50
Speaker 2: immediately call Helen our call screener, and we're going to
1:49:54
Speaker 2: get your information because we will send you an unpublished
1:49:58
Speaker 2: chapter of the book. It's a chapter will not be
1:50:00
Speaker 2: in the actual published book, just as our way of
1:50:03
Speaker 2: saying thank you for making a pre order for pre
1:50:06
Speaker 2: ordering a copy of the book. Nine oh one two
1:50:09
Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six hour number. That's nine
1:50:12

Speaker 2: race has been designated by the National Republican Congressional Committee
1:50:47
Speaker 2: as one of their target races for the midterm elections.
1:50:52
Speaker 2: They see this as a possible additional Senate seat that
1:50:55
Speaker 2: Republicans could could pick up, so we'll keep an eye
1:50:59
Speaker 2: on that story. Also want to direct your attention to
