  Speaker 4: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: So a lot happening today. Thoughts and prayers for all
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: of you good people in New York City. So Mayor
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: zorn Man Dommy Mayor zorn is causing some some big
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: issues and uh, you know he promised. He promised the moon.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: When he was elected as the first Communist mayor of
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: New York City. Ma'am Dommy promised, all of you good people,
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: so many things they're in the Big Apple and the
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: Five Burrows, things like, for example, free bus fare, which
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: who would want free bus fair?
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: I mean you got to you got to rifle around
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: for change or dollar bills, and a lot of people
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: have money, so they were gonna do the whole. They
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: were gonna do the whole. Uh, free bus fare, all
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: that kind of good stuff. Then man Dommy promised free
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: childcare because you know it's it's hard to find a babysitter,
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: and then you got to pay the babysitter, So why
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: not force the the good tax baying citizens of New
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: York to put the bill for that. And he promised
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: what free grocery store, Well, not free grocery stores, government
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: run grocery stores that would provide cheaper goods. So basically
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: he was going to put the the mom and pop
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: businesses he privately owned grocery stores out of business. He
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: also promised to freeze rent, which, by the way, he
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: did do that, and man, that's going to be a
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: big problem. And he also he also promised to tax
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: to tax the rich. So now we've got a mass
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: exodus of millionaires and billionaires that are leaving New York
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: City and they're going to states that have either no
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: income tax at all or are more economically friendly to
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: billionaires and millionaires. We can tell you that as of now,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: there is still no free bus fare in New York City,
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: there's no free childcare in New York City. The government
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: run grocery stores it will be years before they finally open.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: And as far as the rent controls being frozen, it
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: is very well going to put a lot of people
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: out of business. And you're going to end up with
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: a housing shortage in New York City because while the
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: rent prices froze, the cost surrounding operating apartment buildings did
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: not freeze. So the homeowners, the landlords are going to
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: be taking it up the wazoo here thanks to Zoron Mandami.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: And that brings me to the very latest, and this
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: is a big one because I love air conditioning. I mean,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: this is why I live in the South. Without air conditioning,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: the South would be really an oppressive place to live.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: But God, bless God, bless air conditioning, and Mayor Mandamy
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: announced yesterday that every citizen in New York has expected
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: to raise their thermostat to seventy eight degrees tiling. You're laughing.
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: That would be my last, that would be my like
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: thirteenth reason right there, would I would be.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Gone, I'd be out of there, I'd be I don't know.
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: How hot it get to New York. You definitely know
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: more than me. But like if it was like here, no,
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: that's terrible.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: You see, it's worse than hot. It's just smells. So
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: the city takes on a very peculiar odor right around
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: July and August, and it's you know, the rotting, the rottings,
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: you know, food and garbage and the stuff coming out
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: of the sewers and the subway is nasty. It's just
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: a it's just terrible. And so you do have to
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: have air conditioning. Here's the problem. Most of the older
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: apartments they only have the window units, so that that
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: only cools you to a certain extent. That's a big problem.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: So as far as having central heat and air, only
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: the newer buildings or the apartment buildings would have it.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: And there's no way, absolutely no way it would be
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: sixty eight degrees. As a matter of fact, I hope
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: every Republican in New York City has their thermostat set
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: at sixty eight or sixty nine degrees, which, by the way,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: it's always sixty sixty nine degrees here in the broadcast studio.
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: Right now, it's actually sixty eight.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Todd, I'd need interesting, I need a little sweater. I'm
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: getting a chill.
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: We're very blessed here.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: Could you imagine that it just so bad you don't
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: want to be down wind from New Yorkers. It's gonna
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: be ripe.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: Ye, and that's going to be ripe seventy eight. You're sweating,
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: that's definitely a sweat.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: But could you imagine, though, you're like in a theater
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: with like, I don't know, four or five hundred people
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: and your I mean, those seats are tiny and your
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: butt cheek to butt cheek, and people are sweating out
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: the wazoo.
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: Looking to the chairs, just moisting the room.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, it's disgusting. And that brings me to a
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: big event that's happening, we believe tomorrow. Have you heard
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: about this? Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey are getting married
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: and presumably. I mean, this is the argument. They're saying
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: that it's it's going to be at Madison Square Garden,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: but they haven't really confirmed that. But they've got all
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: sorts of all sorts of things are happening around Madison
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: Square Garden. ESPN says they've confirmed that the wedding is
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: going to be at Madison Square Garden, and they're quoting
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: law enforcement officials. They're saying the price tag just for
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: security is almost two hundred thousand dollars just for security.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: According to ESPN, the festivities will kick off with a
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: smaller rehearsal dinner planned for Thursday night, that's tonight. The
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: person spoke to the Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Mayor Zorron Mamdami said Wednesday that a permit had been
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: filed for a large event at Madison Square Garden. The
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: mayor says, we are fully prepared. There isn't anything to
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: share beyond that. The police commissioner says that police will,
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: of course have a detail in place. Declined to go
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: into any more detail. There's also a huge, large red
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: carpet outside of one entrance, but that's been removed now
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: so anyway, I'm all this speculation about the wedding. The
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: New York City Police Department issued a memorandum outlining the
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: wedding event at It's a two day event, by the way,
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: and they're shutting down the streets. Who is this woman?
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: How full of yourself do you have to be to
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: sell tickets to your own wedding.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Hundreds of police officers A you gotta pay for it.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's a pricey affair.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: There.
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: She's building Disney World inside the whole stadium she's building?
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: Is it a castle to castle? What next is gonna
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: be roller coasters? You gotta have vendors there, Fried Oreos.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: I like friede Oreos. The events are closed to the public.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: The couple has invited one hundred people to a rehearsal
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: dinner at the theater inside the garden, and that is tonight.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: The memo is titled Taylor Swift Wedding at Madison Square Garden,
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: so that they pretty much gave up the ghost there.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: During the news conference they held yesterday about the city's
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Fourth of July prepper, they're spending more time and money
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: on her wedding than they are the fourth of July.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: The mayor said they are prepared for massive crowds that
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: are going to be outside the garden. As many as
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: a thousand guests are expected to arrive at the garden
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: for a larger celebration with possible stage appearances followed by
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: a wedding reception in the arena. I'm sorry, but Madison
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Square Garden doesn't exactly scream to me like romantic. I mean,
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: it's a smelly basketball arena. The permit to hold an
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: extra large event, it's costing as much as sixty six
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: thousand dollars a day. So there you go. Here's my question.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: So inside Madison Square Garden it is hot, and and
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: it is oppressive, it's very warm. Is Taylor Swift going
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: to have to live by the same rules as the
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: average New Yorker? So is it going to be seventy
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: eight degrees and sweltering hot inside Madison Square Garden? That's
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: what I would have known, Dyllan.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: I think the answer could be confidently, no, She's not
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: going to have to do that. If all people, Taylor
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: Swift is not going to be, you know, subjected to
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: a seventy eight degree stadium.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: By the way, White Castle is offering Taylor Swift have
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: you seen this?
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: No, I'm so this is terrible.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Oh gosh, so white castle, which is like the Hamburger,
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: just like Crystal Right, Okay, they do the little tiny Hamburgers.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: They have a proposal for the for the upcoming wedding,
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: and here's what they said. If you want to get
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: married in a castle, all you had to do was ask.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: They would have been happy to. That's clever, that's great,
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: that's great. But why Madison square Guard. I don't get it.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: He's not a basketball player. That's what I don't understand.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: People Magazine is now refuting the reports of a castle.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: By the way, Dylan, Oh but.
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: We've seen the pictures been leaked. I know, I know
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: by the tip top of that castle.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Insiders tell People Magazine that although the venue looks transformed,
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: they are not building a castle inside. It does make
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: you wonder what it is then, what's going on? So
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: there you have it. All that to say, I'm with you.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: I don't think Taylor Swift is going I think it's
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: gonna be fifty eight sixty degrees. It's gonna be cold
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: in there, because if they do the ice sculptures, they
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: can't melt. You can't have her face melting off. You
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: know she does. She wears a lot of makeup that one. Yeah,
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: So I'm just telling you you're not gonna have a
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: sweaty tailor swift at her wedding.
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: Well, if it's a castle, you have to think maybe
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: she's going with like the big you know, the ballroom dresses.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: So you know, if it is, she might have fans
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: underneath it.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: It would be an ice ice castle in ice castle.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe she's building a church.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Fans underneath Oh you mean, oh, fans, not like not
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: like people, but like oh ice appertime. That would be
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: weird to have humans underneath her. That would be I
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: wouldn't put it past her, would be odd. But ladies
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: and gentlemen. All that to say, you think Zo run
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Man Dommy's thermostat over at Gracie Mansion is at seventy
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: eight degrees, No, I don't think it is. I don't
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: think it is cool air for THEB me but not
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: for THEE. That's that's the rule. All that to say.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: If you remember back in ma'am Dommy's inaugural address when
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: he talked about the warmth of collectivism, Well, this is
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: what that looks like. Ladies and gentlemen, and you people
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: in New York City, you get what you vote for.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: is our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: zero five, nine two six. This is the Ton Stern Show.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: All right, welcome back everybody. This is the Ton Stearns
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: Radio Show. So we need to help out our good
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: friends in New York City. They need some ideas on
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: how to stay cool now that they've been ordered to
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: keep their thermostance at seventy eight degrees. Now, the mayor
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: of Mandami, his post has gone viral. It's insane, insane
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: how many people have read this. But anyway, the mayor
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: posting on X set your AC to seventy eight degrees,
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: turn off lights and electronics that you're not using. Unplug
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: what you can. Our city is doing its part two
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: maintaining the seventy eight degree rule in our buildings. I
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: don't believe that I want to see the guy's thermostat.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: I want to see it in real time. You know
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: how we do the police body cams. We need a
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: thermocam and we need to be able to see it
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: at all times. I want to see this guy sweating.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: The mayor goes on to say that a stable grid
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: means the AC stays on and lives are saved. Let's
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: ease demand and get through the heat together. So a
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: lot of folks are now offering some insight here. Dave
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Portnoy says, seventy eight degrees. Welcome to communism, people, hope
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: you enjoy. Congressman Brandon gil from Texas says, welcome to
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: socialism where the government demands you turn your house into
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: a sauna because they can't plan for the Super Bowl.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: Super unpredictable fact that it tends to get hot in
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: the summer. This is true. It does get warm out there.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: By the way, the heat in next today, doll it
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: is like one hundred and thirteen in Memphis or something.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we're getting warnings on our phone to stay inside.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Stay inside and crank down the crank down the AC.
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no one's telling us, thankfully to turn it down.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: Oh, oh, little chili out of here, actul chili. Matt
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Wall says, seventy eight degrees. My AC does not go
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: above sixty eight in the summer. This is some araka, for
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: God's sakes, not some third world country. I added that part.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: But it's true.
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: It's true.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: And then Sarah Sanders, the governor of the Great State
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: of Arkansas, says, turns out socialism actually is not free.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: That's true. It's it's a great point. So anyway, what
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: recommendations would you give to the good people of New
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: York City? How do how do you recommend they stay
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: cool in the summertime? Oh, Helen sent me an idea.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: It's like a construction worker's hat, Dylan, and it's got
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: fans attached to either side.
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: It's not a bad idea.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: I kind of like that.
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: I would have suggested a frog dog, one of those
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: those things you put around your neck, but you like
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: das it in ice water before you do.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: Oh yes, yeah, Oh those are nice, pretty nice. Yeah.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: This is a safety helmet with fan, that's what it's
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: officially called. I like that. So, I mean, you haven't
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: look like you look like one of the taxis. It's
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: the same color yellow.
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: But you kill two birds with one stone. If something
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: falls on your head, you're good.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: Well exactly, and you never know with the of the buildings.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: I remember in New York City during the wintertime, nobody
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: really talks about this. But but it's it's a thing
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: that happens in New York City after the snows. You
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: don't want to walk outside because you have massive like
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: icicles that comes crashing down on the onto the sidewalk
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: from the skyscrapers. Yeah, and people have been injured by those.
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: That's like one of my greatest fears. Also being murdered
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: by one of those things, like one of the ice
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: like you know, they're so sharp.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: The icicle comes down, it just impales you.
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and you wouldn't get caught because it just melts.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Right, they're on forty second Street. Yeah, it's true, it's true.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: It's true. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: two six hour telephone over. That's nine oh one two
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: six zero five nine two six coming up. We have enough,
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: you know. They announced that we're going to be releasing
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: the all the information on the members of Congress who
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: had payouts for the sexual harassment of victims. And we've
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: got an update on that story. Also, I told you
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: this was going to happen. There are many stories out
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: today about the do nothing Congress and how they are
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: pretty much done now for the summertime. So nothing, nothing
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: of any substance got done. And I told you this
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: was going to happen. There's really not much we can
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: do about it. And I hate it for President Trump,
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: but that's just the reality of it. And so we

  Speaker 4: What exactly is that?
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: It's a It's a domino game.
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: Oh eight people can play around the table and you
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: build domino strips based on the rules. Of course, every
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: game is similar but different.

  Speaker 4: Okay, well happened. It sounds like you've got a plan,
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: a game plan going in, So Bob, hope you and
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: your family have a have a great Fourth of July.
• 20:11
  Speaker 10: Thanks.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: All right, there we go. Have you ever heard of
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Mexican dominoes?
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: Only play American dominoes?
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: Is that?
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: I've never heard of this.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: I was afraid to ask why they call it that. Yeah,
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: I don't want to get in too much trouble today
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: as we go into the long weekend. There's an interesting story, Dylan,
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: you just sent me.
• 20:33
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: It turns out there is now you can now purchase
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: your very first This is a domestic robot. Right. Yes,
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: it's called Isaac one. It's coming out from a group
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: called Weave Robotics. This is a legit company here, Weave Robotics.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: And no, the robots do not have weaves.
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: It's a good question to answer you.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: It's a fair question, right, they don't have any hair,
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: actually no hair. No, they're they're nude and their robots.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: So why would you need clothing on a robot? Yeah, sure,
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: I mean it's a fair point. So anyway, they're launching
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: their very first home robot that actually does chores. And
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: this is it has working arms that not fingers though,
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: it's got like two probes. I guess they're like lobster
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: pinchers almost. That's exactly what they look like. And the
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: robots and according to the video here, the robot is
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: it has eyes that's kind of creepy, and it wakes
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: up and it starts doing chores around the house. So like,
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: for example, your pillows need fluffing, so the robot is
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: I'm watching the robot fluff pillows and fold blankets. The
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: robot also does laundry. The and they're calling it Isaac one.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: Deliveries are going to begin this fall. Oh, there it is,
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: and it's taking it put the laundry in a basket,
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: and then it folds the folds the laundry.
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: They're basically all the stuff that you don't like doing.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: I hate folding clothes and laundry. Yeah, I mean, but
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: would I buy a robot to do that for me?
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Would you allow a robot to be It's called Isaac one.
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: It's not that short, by the way, it is like
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: it's more than half my size, which is a little concerning.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: It's a tall it's a tall thing.
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: And it looks buff too, like I don't know if
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: we if we got into a fight, I don't know
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: if I can confidently say I'd win if it refused
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: to fold my clothes.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: Well, it depends on where they put the probes, you know,
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: That's that would be the concern. I am. But here's
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: what I'm finding fascinating about it. Just how much do
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: you think this would cost.
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: Oh, it's got to be close to like ten thousand dollars,
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: that's for sure.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: You're not that far off. It's it's seventy nine ninety
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: nine seven seven ninety dollars. You got to pay up front,
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: and then you have an optional ninety nine dollars or
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: a premium membership. I wonder what that entails. It'll do dishes,
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: it'll wash your car.
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: You have to pay extra for that.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: So the question is, you know, like when you're on
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: social media now, I don't It used to not always
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: be like this, but like when you wanted to use
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: like a thumbs up or a thumbs down, or like
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: little hand emojis, they would always be one color, right,
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: they would be yellow, And then there was a lot
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: of controversy. So now you have multicolored thumbs except for
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: white people, and they're still with the yellow thumb, which
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: you would think would be well, I can't say that
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: you're so right.
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: I don't have a color represented on the emojis. I
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: just like to say that, can.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: We at least get tan? Is that possible? So the
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: reason I ask that is because you would think, Okay,
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: what color robot do I want to have you know?
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: And then again, if you're for example, if you're white,
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: do you are you would you be allowed to have
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: your servant robot be a specific colors? I don't mean
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: to bring it up, but you know people are going
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: to talk about it.
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: I guess, so I don't know.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: Or if you're black, would you want a white robot slave?
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Because because you're not paying for the robot?
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: Right, this is true.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: Well, we've got a solution of that. There are you
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: cannot purchase the robot in white or black. Your choices
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: are sage, gray, slate, blue, terra cotta, or something called vesper.
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: Okay, good, So no color of any human.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: No, well maybe Indian. I mean terra cotta could be gray.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: I mean you could be you know, oxygen deprived.
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: I like the green one. I like the one that
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: it's in this promotional video. That's pretty, it's nice.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: The question is would you allow would you allow a
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: robot in your home? And they're called They're they're saying
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: these mobile robots are now designed from the ground up
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: and for that price. I mean, you would think everybody
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: in America would would have a robot.
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I'm I'm still no because I think
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: it's going to turn on me, or like, you know,
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: if I leave my dog at home and the dog
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: starts getting in a fight, Like, I don't know. There's
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: too many, too many hazards going on here.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: So they built this in San Francisco. That leads to
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: more questions. But it's also made for spaces. It has
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: a soft fabric shell that gives isaac one a familiar
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: feel in the home, and the shells provide passive hold
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: on passive safety and can be swamped or removed to
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: fit the character of your home. So what does that mean?
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: You could put a battle armor on it?
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Or if all of us what happens if the
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: passive safety turns into aggressive safety.
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: True self destruct mode?
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: Maybe the oh, here we go. The robot has a
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: collapsible torso, which means it can extend to a human
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: height when needed or collapse down when it's not working.
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: Nope, no, thank you. Yeah, I'm just I need one size.
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: I don't need you to be able to like reach
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: my dishes on the top shelf. I don't.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: Well, here we go. This is I'm going to read this.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: Battery life eight hours, charge time two hours. That's better
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: than a Tesla connectivity. It connects your Wi Fi. So
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: that's the thing, is what happens to somebody like hacked
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: your robot. You wake up and you see those soulless
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: eyes staring over you with the probes. You know what
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: you're gonna be saying, Tod start and sold me. This
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: is a bad idea. That'll be your last words. Oh
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: it's got a big foot. You know what they say
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: about people with big feet twenty point five? Oh my god,
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: twenty point five. It's really not feet, it's like a footprint. Yeah,
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: it's Oh, here we go. Couldn't play basketball. Got a
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: vertical reach of eighty inches, neck two inches, arms two
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: by six, torso two in the base three. So that's
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: a big old that's a big old robot. So there
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: you go. Isaac has two payment systems. You can pay
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: four to forty nine a month. You can subscribe to
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: the robot or the seven thousand, nine ninety nine up front,
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: and then you can get a You can also get
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: you know, the extra membership. How do I control Isaac one?
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: You control Isaac one through our smartphone companion app. You
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: can request a task to be completed on demand or
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: at a schedule time, whether you're at home or away.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: So I guess we could just be we could be
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: here right now, Dylan, and we could say, Isaac, I
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: need you to go put on a pot.
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: Of stew yes or run to the grocery store. That's
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: probably like, you know, Isaac, seventeen, that's probably going to be.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: Later, Isaac, I want a big tub of dente more
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: beef stew And do you have to like completely spell
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: it out because you know the robots they don't don't think.
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: Does it have the recipe programmed in?
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: Does it have a good question? Let's go to Paul
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: in Gainesville, Georgia. Paul, what do you think about this?
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: This this home robot?
• 28:14
  Speaker 12: Well, my my only comment was, and you claim them
• 28:17
  Speaker 12: as a dependent on your taxes?
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: Oh that's a great question. I don't know. I mean,
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: do you can you adopt? I mean, you can identify
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: as anything you want to these days. So why I
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: don't know.
• 28:30
  Speaker 12: Why not they live with you?
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah? They're using up your they're eating up your energy, right,
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: so you got to plug them in?
• 28:40
  Speaker 13: Yeah?
• 28:40
  Speaker 12: I think it's a good question there, Paul.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: I love this, and you know, you know somebody somebody
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: in on Capitol Hill is going to think about this.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: But Paul, I love this idea. So if that's the case,
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: give me two, Paul, would you have one in your home.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: I don't think Paul's there anymore, Paul dined Paul. Paul, Okay, goodbye, Paul.
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: He's gone.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: He's gone, he's gone. I think we I think he
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: was a one trick pony there.
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: Paul.
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's about probably gonna be freaking people out. I mean,
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: why do they make things that look like humans?
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: It's not very fast? Have you noticed that? Very It
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: reminds me of like watching a grandma, like an elderly grandma,
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: trying to carry stuff, and so if you're looking for
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: something quick, that's not it.
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: I can just imagine people being like Isaac, go faster, faster,
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: fall faster.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Jesus loub all right, this is crazy. Nine one two
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: six zero five nine two SIGs again. It's for me.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: I just it's a hard pass. You know, I have
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: a hard enough time. I got for Christmas, I got
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: one of these Google Home things and it freaked me out,
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: so I unplugged it, and I just I don't like
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: the robot. It's you know, it is what it is
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: maybe you know, twenty years from now, I'll be thinking
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: differently about it. But right now that and the cars
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: that drive themselves know that I know absolutely not. I
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: barely trust myself driving behind the wheel, much less nobody.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying, all right, we got to take a
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: break here. Nine oh one two six zero five died
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: two six hour telephone over. That's nine oh one two
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: six zero five nine two six. This segment of the

  Speaker 5: Tell us about that gun?
• 32:32
  Speaker 14: Well, uh, there was this fella.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: You sure you want to hear this story?
• 32:38
  Speaker 14: It's history, clear, say tell the story. Well, one time,
• 32:48
  Speaker 14: a long time ago, this country was a part of England,
• 32:53
  Speaker 14: and we wasn't getting along with him too good. In fact,
• 32:56
  Speaker 14: we was thinking about breaking away and starting our own country.
• 33:00
  Speaker 14: But the king over there in England, he says, you
• 33:03
  Speaker 14: do that, and I'm gonna send my red coats. They
• 33:08
  Speaker 14: was British soldiers and he is gonna send 'em over
• 33:10
  Speaker 14: here to a whoop us, oh over nerve. He says,
• 33:15
  Speaker 14: you better think about that thing. Well, so you great
• 33:19
  Speaker 14: great great great great great granddaddy's all got together, you know,
• 33:23
  Speaker 14: to think about it. And they argued about it back
• 33:25
  Speaker 14: and forth while and finally one of 'em says, let's
• 33:28
  Speaker 14: do it. Let's start our own country. Someone says, how
• 33:31
  Speaker 14: you do that? Says I don't know, says I reckon,
• 33:33
  Speaker 14: you just start? Says, uh, what do we call it?
• 33:36
  Speaker 14: Says let's call it? Let's call it the United States
• 33:39
  Speaker 14: of America. How was a good name? Yeah? Now about
• 33:43
  Speaker 14: that time. Up in Boston, Massachusetts, there's a fella living
• 33:46
  Speaker 14: up there named Paul Revere, and he's a pretty good
• 33:49
  Speaker 14: old fella, just as poor as job's turkey, but he
• 33:51
  Speaker 14: is a pretty good old fella. And he owned a
• 33:53
  Speaker 14: real good old horse named Nelly. Now, Paul, he is
• 33:56
  Speaker 14: wandering around the streets up there one night and he
• 33:58
  Speaker 14: come up on a friend of his and he says, Hoidie,
• 34:01
  Speaker 14: what's new. His friend says, what's new? Says the British
• 34:05
  Speaker 14: is coming, That's what's new. What's the matter with thee?
• 34:07
  Speaker 14: And Paul says you're a kidding, He says, it's a fact. Says,
• 34:10
  Speaker 14: I just heard it from an Indian, and you know
• 34:12
  Speaker 14: them Indians, they keep their ears to the ground. And
• 34:15
  Speaker 14: Paul says that the folks know about this. Fella says,
• 34:18
  Speaker 14: I just heard about it myself. And Paul says, well,
• 34:20
  Speaker 14: what we're gonna do? And fella says, I'm getting out
• 34:22
  Speaker 14: of town and Paul says, well, we got to spread
• 34:25
  Speaker 14: the word. He says, you spread it. I'm getting out
• 34:27
  Speaker 14: of town. Well, Paul, he didn't know what to do,
• 34:30
  Speaker 14: but he knowed he had to do something. Now it happened.
• 34:35
  Speaker 14: It happened that they had planned if the British was
• 34:37
  Speaker 14: ever to come over here, that they had put a
• 34:40
  Speaker 14: light up in this high church steeple, and Paul went
• 34:43
  Speaker 14: down there to look, and showing up there was the
• 34:46
  Speaker 14: light burning brighter day. Well, Paul, he jumped on his
• 34:51
  Speaker 14: old horse and he let out. He didn't know where
• 34:53
  Speaker 14: he was going, but he knew he had to go somewhere. Oh,
• 34:56
  Speaker 14: I wish you could have seen it, that old horse
• 34:58
  Speaker 14: with his ears laid back in his nostrils, wide oat
• 35:01
  Speaker 14: must sucking in wind like a jet engine, feet pounding
• 35:03
  Speaker 14: on them cobblestones and striking all sparks. Paul holding on
• 35:07
  Speaker 14: for dear life and are hollering at the top of
• 35:09
  Speaker 14: his lungs. He says, the British is coming, The British
• 35:12
  Speaker 14: is coming. Get you a gun. We gonna have us
• 35:14
  Speaker 14: a revolution. And them farmers come appiling out of the
• 35:18
  Speaker 14: hay like beat out of BEEHIVEH minute men, there's called.
• 35:22
  Speaker 14: They grabbed their squirrel guns.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: What's mine?
• 35:24
  Speaker 14: Min minute men? Thes fellas that had to be ready
• 35:27
  Speaker 14: at a minute's notice. And when Paul comes screeching down
• 35:30
  Speaker 14: the road that way, they grabbed their guns and hid
• 35:33
  Speaker 14: out behind the weeds and walls and trees and everywhere.
• 35:37
  Speaker 14: And when the British come of pranks and all dressed
• 35:40
  Speaker 14: up in their red suits and a waving to the girls,
• 35:44
  Speaker 14: they let them have it. It was a sight to see.
• 35:49
  Speaker 14: And then it happened.
• 35:51
  Speaker 15: They fired the gun.
• 35:52
  Speaker 14: They fired the gun, and the shot was so loud
• 35:57
  Speaker 14: it was heard clear around the world. Oh get, that's
• 36:04
  Speaker 14: the way this country started.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: You know all I can think of? Could you could
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: you imagine any shows on TV today telling that story
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: the way that that Andy Griffith told that that story,
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: You know, we've got. Throughout today's show, we're going to
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: be We're going to be dipping into some of the
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: old school ways that Hollywood used to promote America and
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: celebrate America. And it's really sad that we live in
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: a country now where Hollywood hates, hates our way of life.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: But there was a time back in the nineteen fifties
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: and sixties when Hollywood was embracing Americana and it flavored
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: so many of our movies and TV shows. What a
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: great what a great episode of the old Andy Griffith Show.
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: All Right, nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: two six is our telephone number. That's nine oh one
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: two six zero five, nine two six. This is the
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: Tom Stearns Show.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Well live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: It's America's favorite gun, total Bible clinging, deplorable American.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: That's that's that.
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: This American.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: Todd starts Well day.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: All right, Hello, everybody, welcome to the Tom Sterns Radio Show.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: Great to have you with us today. Our telephone number,
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: by the way, nine oh one two six zero five
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: nine two six. Again that number, nine oh one two
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: six zero five nine two six may I just say,
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: and this is I don't mean to paint with a
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: broad brush here, but what is going on with you
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: good people in Pennsylvania. I just don't understand this. You
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: guys are literally the home of the birthplace of freedom
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: and liberty, where the Declaration of Independence was signed. We
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: got the Liberty Bell there and Constitution Hall. And my question,
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: ladies and gentlemen, is why are the good people of
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: Pennsylvania so unpatriotic? And I'm predominantly talking about Democrats. Actually,
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: I'm only talking about Democrats. And there are a couple
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: of examples, and I want to share these with you,
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: but I'm just curious overall, why do you think democrats
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: hate our country so much? You know, the two hundred
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: and fiftieth birthday, this ought to be a celebration for everybody,
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: and I think a lot of us were terrified of
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: God forbid Kamala Harris as President of the United States.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: What that celebration might wan. I think we have a
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: good indication in San Diego. In San Diego, California, they're
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: having a diversity Fourth of July celebration. They're hauling out
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: the indigenous people and the LGBT flags, the Somali flag,
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: by the way, Columbus, Ohio, Buffalo, New York, among many
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: cities around the nation that at this very moment are
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: flying the Somali flag for Somali independence stake. Who cares
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: about Somalia. They got their own country. If you want
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: to go celebrate their independence day, go to Somalia and
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: celebrate over there, don't do it here. So anyway, we've
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: got America to fifty celebrations going on, and there was
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: a you know, they've invited all fifty states to set
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: up exhibits. Eleven states did not set up exhibits. Eleven
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: states are boycotting the Freedom two fifty Great American, Great
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: American State Fair in Washington, d C. All the states
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: controlled by Democrat governors. John Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania,
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: said hey, look we got no money, and then each
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: oder and I said, well, no, that really wasn't it.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: We just didn't have any people interested. So God bless
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: Senator Dave McCormick, the Republican and John Fetterman, the Democrat,
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: because when they got win, the two of them got
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: together and within twenty four hours they had come up
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: with a plan to staff the Pennsylvania the Pennsylvania booth
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: at the Great American State Fair, and it's by all
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: indications beautiful.
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: They reached out to all of these businesses asking them
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: to send stuff, and they were like Utts is like
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: a big a snack food company based in Pennsylvania. They
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: sent over all these snacks. You had a family owned
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: chocolate chocolate company and they sent over all sorts of
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: delicious goodies. There's even a replica of the Liberty Bill
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: now in the Penncilia booth. They're at the Great American
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: State Fair. And somebody showed up with a Christmas tree.
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: They literally cut down a Christmas tree on their Christmas
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: tree farm and they brought it in and you could
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: walk in and you can well see a tree. And
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: it tells me that there was interest in Pennsylvania. But
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: the Democrats loathed Donald Trump so much, they hate our
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: nation so much that they're willing to say up yours America.
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: It's disgusting. I mean, you got Hawaii, Oregon, Washington State,
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: North Carolina, North Carolina, your Democrat governor said, yeah, we're
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: not interested. Then you have all the New England states.
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: I mean, say what you want to even New York
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: State and California send exhibits. I mean, God love them.
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: So anyway, you got that going on. But then there
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: is there's a guy by the name of Eric Devanzo
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: who is a state lawmaker in Pennsylvania, and he was
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: this is a terrible story. He showed up at the
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: House at the state Capitol, in the House of Representatives,
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: and he's wearing a red, white and blue suit. I mean,
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: he looks like a giant American flag. He represents Westmoreland
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: County between Pittsburgh and Greensburg. So anyway, the House speaker's
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: a Democrat. Her name is Joanna McClinton. So this guy
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: shows up to work in the chamber, people are excited
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: to get his picture made because he looks like an
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: American flag. His suit is literally red, white and blue.
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: He did an interview with Fox News Digital. He said,
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: we were talking, I turned around when a house photographer
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: got a photo, and the next thing I know, the
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: whip was gone. He comes back a few minutes later
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: and says, hey, you're not going to like this. But
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: he was informed that his red, white and blue suit
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: was inappropriate. Mister Davanzo said, I'm like, what you gotta
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: be kidding. He initially decided to stay on the floor
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: despite the Democrat Party's leadership demanding that he leave, and
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: then they sent a security guard and told him he
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: either had to remove his suit jacket or leave. This
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: is insane. I must say. It's it's not something I
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: would necessarily wear, but it's in a very tasteful way.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: I mean the red and white stripes of the suit
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: code and then the blue tie with the white stars.
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: We're going to post a photo of it overall our website.
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: So anyway, they were all very upset and offended. Davanzo
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: said House leadership had previously endorsed thematic attire. They were
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: astra dressed in Pride colors. Oh that was last month.
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: Seems like a year ago, doesn't it. So it's okay
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: to dress up in LGBT colors, but it's not okay
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: to show up in the red, white and blue. Mister
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: Davanzo then read a statement from the House Speaker about
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: Pride Month, encouraging people to be authentic and love freely.
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: Mister Davanzo said, well, you're only able to love freely
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: because the brave men and women who died for this
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: flag they died for our country, and this is complete hypocrisy.
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: You're allowed to wear tennis shoes on the floor, You're
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: allowed to wear top hats, you can wear camo jackets,
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: everything across the board, but you can't wear a patriotic outfit.
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: Unbelievable happening right there in the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: What's going on with that, ladies and gentlemen. So anyway,
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: all that to say, it's unfortunate that so many Democrats
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: hate this country. You know, I'm reminded, even during the
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: awful years of Obama and Biden, I never stopped loving America,
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: and I suspect many of you felt the same way.
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: But here we are, ladies and gentlemen, I am telling you,
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: there are people out there who just loathe our country
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: and our way of life. Unbelievable.
• 45:33
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: is our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: zero five nine two six. Throughout today's show, we're going
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: to be playing some some stories, some music that I
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: think really do reflect the greatness of our country, celebrating America.
• 45:52

  Speaker 11: horses in the pre dawn stillness of a perfect Texas
• 47:23
  Speaker 11: day and watched their shod hoofs kicking up sparks on
• 47:26
  Speaker 11: the volcanic rock or attended a trot line on a

  Speaker 4: ought to have it on yours too. It's really good.
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: Let's go to the phone lines here nine oh one
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: two six zero five, nine to six Salo to Carolyn
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: from Hendersonville, North Carolina. Hi, Carolyn, what's on your mind?
• 50:23
  Speaker 10: Well? I'm very disappointed at my state not doing anything
• 50:28
  Speaker 10: in Washington putting up a booth for two hundred and
• 50:32
  Speaker 10: fiftieth celebration, and it's just we have got so much
• 50:40
  Speaker 10: industry in North Carolina and there could have been so
• 50:45
  Speaker 10: much that could has been done if we had had
• 50:48
  Speaker 10: a decent governor. And also Tom Tillis was probably no help.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 50:58
  Speaker 10: I'm just very disappointed in Carolyn.
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: I have to tell you, out of all of the states,
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: I was most surprised at North Carolina chose not to participate.
• 51:08
  Speaker 10: I can't believe it, the way the good that Trump
• 51:12
  Speaker 10: has done for North Carolina and the storms that we
• 51:16
  Speaker 10: went through, and I can't believe that our governor doesn't
• 51:21
  Speaker 10: have enough nerves to do something just because he's a Democrat.
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: Now we understand.
• 51:27
  Speaker 10: I hope, I hope that I hope the people of
• 51:30
  Speaker 10: North Carolina. Don't end up with another Congressman or whatever
• 51:36
  Speaker 10: it is and taking Tom Tillis's.
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: Place or an other senator. Yeah up there.
• 51:45
  Speaker 10: Yeah, Republican has done us in enough.
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: Tom Dillis dom jealis, no doubt about it, Carolyn, but
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: certainly disappointing. I will say this that a lot of
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: citizens decided to step up and try to put something together.
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: The mount Olive Pickle Company, I don't know if you
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: heard this, this story, the mount Olive Pickle Company. I
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: guess they had a display somebody somebody brought up a
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: copy or it was a digital it was digitized. It
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: was on a digital video image of the Confederate flag,
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: and it caused some sort of a hoopla. So the
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: mount Olive Pickle Company decided to pull out. So they
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: have removed their exhibit over the Confederate flag. So I
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: guess they determined the Confederate flag was not kosher, as
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: they say in the pickle industry.
• 52:33
  Speaker 10: So that that is part of our history. Yes, history
• 52:38
  Speaker 10: goes My history goes back to the Revolutionary War, and
• 52:42
  Speaker 10: I have a hero and American Revolution. And these kids
• 52:47
  Speaker 10: ought to be made to study history. They know absolutely
• 52:52
  Speaker 10: nothing about history.
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: It's true, Carolyn, Yeah, it's true. You're right. Well, Carolyn,
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: thank you for calling again. You sound like a great
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: American patriot, and God bless you, and thank you for
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: listening to the show. And w HKP getting ready to
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: celebrate a massive anniversary eighty years they've been doing radio.
• 53:12
  Speaker 4: They're just good, good people. Yeah, it's no, it's true.
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: The pickle company said, oh we can't, Oh, we can't
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: do this. They got puckered up, and you don't want
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: puckered pickle people. I'm just telling you it's not a
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: good thing. By the way, we have a photograph telling
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: I want you to go to Todd Sterns dot com.
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: Look at the front page. We got a picture of
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: the guy suit. I'm telling you it's not a cheesy suit.
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: This looks like a very expensive suit that this guy
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: is wearing. It's pretty classy.
• 53:45
  Speaker 6: I think, oh wow, right, that's some I would not
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: be offended by that at all.
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: It's you know what, you want to pledge allegiance to
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: the guy.
• 53:57
  Speaker 6: Honestly, yeah, this guy, that's a great suit.
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: I think it's so. I want you, folks, here's the deal.
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: I want you to go to Todd Sterns dot com
• 54:06
  Speaker 4: and I want you to look at this guy suit
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: and you tell me whether or not that that suit
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: is offensive because the house, the house speaker there, she's
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: a Democrat, and she told people, by the way, oh,
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: we want you guys to celebrate Pride month, all right,
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: so you you engage that, but you can't wear this.
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: And her argument is, it's not a suit, it's a costume.
• 54:30
  Speaker 6: No, it's parts.
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's got like a suit coat. You have a
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: tie that matches the theme, so it's thematic. It's aront pocket,
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: it's it's got a zipper, and I just it has
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: all the components of what you would think a suit
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: would be. So head over to Todd Sterns dot com
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: and check it out and tell us give us a call.
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: Do you believe that is a suit or a costume?
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: And would you be offended if somebody showed up wearing
• 55:00
  Speaker 4: something like that at the state capitol. And as the
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: guy points out, you know people wear you know, camo jackets,
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: they wear tennis shoes, They're allowed to wear all sorts
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: of things on the floor of the house. So I'm
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: just trying to understand what exactly is upsetting about the red, white,
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: and blue, and I suspect that's the problem. All right,
• 55:18
  Speaker 4: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: hour telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: five nine two six. This is the Ton String Show.
• 55:58
  Speaker 4: All right, Welcome back to everybody, says the Tom Stearns
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: Radio Show. Let's go to our Patriot mobile news maker
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: Line Solho to or our good buddy Joe Massina, host
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: of the Joe Messina Show. Joe tell me how does

  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, so you guys are the pasta folks.
• 56:21
  Speaker 7: Oh, you know what we'll do. I'm in this year's
• 56:24
  Speaker 7: parade being an elected official running for office again, so
• 56:27
  Speaker 7: I'll be in this year's parade. I usually take my
• 56:30
  Speaker 7: granddaughters there. I want them to see you about America.
• 56:32
  Speaker 7: I want them to see what a real, true US
• 56:34
  Speaker 7: celebration is about. I don't know if you know this,
• 56:37
  Speaker 7: but in Santa Clarita it is among I think it's
• 56:41
  Speaker 7: the top three largest parades west of the Mississippi.
• 56:46
  Speaker 4: Is that right?
• 56:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah? Twelve to fifteen thousand people will be there, Wow,
• 56:51
  Speaker 7: along lines and it'll probably be ninety minutes, is one
• 56:55
  Speaker 7: hundred and ten floats total. It's pretty big. So then
• 56:59
  Speaker 7: we'll come back home and you know web Pizza, gotta
• 57:01
  Speaker 7: have pizza, todd Hamburger's, hot dogs, chicken, all that fun stuff.
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: It looks sounds like a pretty pretty great party to me.
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: I had no idea that your y'all's parade was that large.
• 57:13
  Speaker 7: Very big, and you know what, and they honor everybody.
• 57:16
  Speaker 7: I mean, I seriously, it's it's just not a couple
• 57:18
  Speaker 7: of fire trucks with the horns. We have the Sheriff's Department,
• 57:21
  Speaker 7: the police Department, of fire trucks, first responders. These are great,
• 57:24
  Speaker 7: these are great people out here in our community.
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: Well, I love I'm excited to hear that. And I
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: was glad to see that California was not one of
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: the states that decided to boycott the America the Great
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: American State Fair that you guys actually had an exhibit there.
• 57:39
  Speaker 4: So again, it's just it's really I'm really conflicted by
• 57:44
  Speaker 4: all these democrats out there that are hating our country
• 57:47
  Speaker 4: right now.
• 57:48
  Speaker 7: Don't you find it interesting? It's two hundred the two
• 57:51
  Speaker 7: hundred and fiftieth birthday of America of the us, not
• 57:54
  Speaker 7: of Donald Trump. Can we get that straight to begin with?
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: Exactly?
• 57:58
  Speaker 7: And that's where talk about digging in on Paula or
• 58:02
  Speaker 7: it shouldn't be a political issue. They say the same thing,
• 58:04
  Speaker 7: but they don't live it. They don't. They use a
• 58:07
  Speaker 7: whole different dictionary and thesaurus than we do. So it's
• 58:11
  Speaker 7: our country. We've made it two hundred and fifty years.
• 58:13
  Speaker 7: We've had the longer surviving constitution on the planet. We
• 58:17
  Speaker 7: still have our freedoms and our rights. And I don't know,
• 58:20
  Speaker 7: I I this is truly tds that it's finest.
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: Well, it really is when especially when you look at
• 58:28
  Speaker 4: all the great things that have happened under this administration. Uh,
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: gas prices coming back down again, and you know, I
• 58:35
  Speaker 4: think we're we're setting ourselves up for what could be
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: could be a good, good November if the Republicans don't
• 58:42
  Speaker 4: muck it all up.
• 58:43
  Speaker 7: Oh you're such an optimist. Ud the Republicans don't, They're
• 58:49
  Speaker 7: gonna have to work overtime it not mucking it up.
• 58:52
  Speaker 7: And to your comment about gas, that's wonderful. Where you're at,
• 58:57
  Speaker 7: ours is still over six bucks a gallon. It just
• 58:59
  Speaker 7: went up another twelve or fourteen cents because of the
• 59:03
  Speaker 7: summer blend that California has to have, and now because
• 59:07
  Speaker 7: the refineries are shutting down, Todd, they're bringing it in
• 59:10
  Speaker 7: from other states that have to redo their refineries to
• 59:13
  Speaker 7: add our summer blend you're talking about, this is going
• 59:16
  Speaker 7: to be about seven bucks a gallon before we hit midsummer.
• 59:18
  Speaker 4: That's insane. I just can't. Well, they are coming down
• 59:21
  Speaker 4: in Tennessee, I'll tell you that much, and in some
• 59:24
  Speaker 4: other areas, and of course the President's been calling on
• 59:27
  Speaker 4: the retailers to bring their prices down. There's really not
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: much he can do. I mean, he can't force them
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: to do it, but we can certainly name and shame
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: those that are are price gouging. And that's not necessarily
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: what's happening in California. You guys just have so many
• 59:41
  Speaker 4: taxes and fees attached to a gallon of gas.
• 59:45
  Speaker 7: Well just basic state taxes are like eighty seven sets
• 59:49
  Speaker 7: of gallon for gas as eighty seven sets are just
• 59:52
  Speaker 7: at the top line. So it's crazy. And now they're there.
• 59:55
  Speaker 7: You know, they've lost a lot of tax revenue, gas
• 59:58
  Speaker 7: tax revenue because of why those ev cars that the
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 7: governor wanted so bad to put in our driveways. So
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 7: now he's got to get that revenue back. And they're
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 7: working on the mileage tax, seriously working on a mileage tax.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 4: Joe Messina joining us on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. Joe,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 4: I want you to go to my website, Tom Stearns
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 4: dot com, and I want you to look at the
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: front page of the website. There is a state lawmaker
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 4: from Pennsylvania who showed up for work at the capitol
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 4: wearing a red, white and blue suit and he was
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 4: ordered by the Democrat House House speaker to leave the
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: chamber because his clothing was offensive. And I want you
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: to take a look at the photograph and tell me
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 4: what you think. While you're doing that, I want to
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: bring in Debbie from Cape Coral, Florida. And Debbie, I
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 4: understand that you took a look at the suit. What
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: you're taking tell me what you just did.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 16: Well, Todd, I'm sitting here listening to you, and I
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 16: just got so fired up. I saw the suit and
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 16: you explained it right. It's a jacket, trousers tie. It
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 16: looks like a suit. So I just said the heck
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 16: with it. So I called the speaker her name is
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 16: Joanna McClinton, and I'm happy to share her phone number.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 16: I spoke to a nice young man, Marcus, and I
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 16: told him it was ridiculous that she said that that
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 16: was a costume. And Marcus said, well, ma'am, it was
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 16: a costume. And I said, honey, I'm looking at it.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 16: It's a jacket, it's trousers, it's a tie. It's not
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 16: And I said, you know, it's just a shame that
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 16: this representative, and I said, the woman you're working for
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 16: doesn't stand for America, especially right now this weekend July fourth,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 16: that she's got to make a call that this is
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 16: a costume when this man is trying to represent our country.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you're right, Debbie and Joe. I mean
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 4: you just you heard Debbian. God bless you for calling.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 4: And we're going to give out that number in just
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 4: a minute. So hang tight, Debbie. But oh, this poor
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 4: guy that he said he can either take out the
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 4: jacket or you're out of here, pal, and they sent
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 4: over a security guard.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 6: I love this.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 7: I think this is great. First of all, it is
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 7: a suit. I'm with you. It's a suit. I'm not
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 7: one that I would wear, not because I'm down on it.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 7: I just can't imagine what I would look like in
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 7: that thing. But it is a suit.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 7: Nobody had any problems with Fetterman. We were all the
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 7: Democrats screaming at Fetterman for the way he was dressed,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 7: making him put on a coat or what have you.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 7: But no, I think they're offended by the American flag,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 7: which is really funny because they swore up all the Constitution,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 7: they live on American soil, they're protected by, you know,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 7: American military, and yet they hate the American flag. I, Todd,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 7: I can't drink enough to understand that.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just don't get it. And of course, these
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 4: same people were celebrating Pride Month just last month, and
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 4: people were invited to wear all sorts of all sorts
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 4: of things. So, Debbie, what's that number you called?
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 16: Oh gosh, Todd, let me get it real quick, okay,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 16: two seven four eight six seven two.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 4: All right, Well we'll we'll post that on our website, Debbie.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 4: But look good for you for calling and giving them
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 4: a piece of your mind. And I'm sure you are
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: very nice and kind about it. But we that's what
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 4: we got to do. We've got to start calling these
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 4: people out for this nonsense.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 16: You're right, and you know what you plant sees and
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 16: these young people who are working for these representatives to
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 16: let them know they are not on the right team.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: Good for you, Debbie, all right, look, happy fourth of
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: July to you, Debbie.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 16: Thank you.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 4: God bless all right, God, bless Joe. I love our listeners.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 4: They're an active bunch.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 7: Of todd I mean, she's right. The young people in
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 7: those offices will hear.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: That it is a it's a terrific idea. And again
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 4: it's just, you know, the Democrats just get so triggered
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 4: by any you know, we're they're putting up Somali flags
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: in Buffalo and Columbus, Ohio and other cities. It makes
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: absolutely no sense to me, by the way, Buffalo canceling.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 4: Therefore the July fireworks.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 7: Now, they're too busy celebrating the Somali fraud to be
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 7: bothered with the fireworks. And besides, maybe there's no group
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 7: that makes money off the fireworks that they like. So
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: Something tells me they're not teaching about American history in
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 4: those leering centers, if you know what I mean.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 6: No, they're not.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 7: Oh I know you got the story up on your website.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 7: I mean the story about Texas, the story about them
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 7: trying to remove the other the American history when it
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 7: comes to the Revolution and or the Civil War, any
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 7: of those things. Texas. We're talking to. People need to
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 7: understand the gravity of this.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 4: This is Texas, correct, Yes, it is Texas.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah. And what people done is to me being in education.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 7: What people don't understand is they start changing those history
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 7: books in Texas and California follows, dude, those same books
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 7: will go across the country because Texas, California, and New
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 7: York the three major states that they the book publishers
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 7: use to distribute these books.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 4: Well, no doubt about that. You're right about that shoe.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 4: All right, my friend, we're gonna have to leave it there.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 4: Hope you and your family have a great and blessed
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 4: Independence Day.
• 1:05:22

• 1:05:54
  Speaker 4: you're able to get through, give us a callback. We
• 1:05:56

• 1:06:01
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go to the phones. Dave and Morehead City,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: North Carolina. Hi, Dave, what's on your mind?
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 12: In Morehead, Todd, I'm in the thriving metropolis of Swansboro.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 4: Oh well, my apologies there all right.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 12: Swansboro, Yeah, a little bit north, so are a little
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 12: bit south actually anyway, right on the coast. And you
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 12: remember what a disaster Roy Cooper was for our state,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 12: and now he's running for Senate out here, and of
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 12: course there's no activity out here, none of we got
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 12: to beat him. So we ended up with Josh Stein,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 12: who is a Roy Cooper drop off as our governor.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 12: And you know, it just clicked when you said it
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 12: that California is taking part in this National State Fair
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 12: or whatever it is. For the fourth Calilifornia is And
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 12: Josh Stein, the governor of North Carolina, declined.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, sure it ed. What does that tell you?
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 12: Dat you know. Well, the thing is, how many times
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 12: I can't even count the number of times on your
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 12: show when I've talked about the lack of representation out
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 12: here and the way things are going. Everybody coming from
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 12: up north and want to change this and change that.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 12: But then we get somebody here who's the governor, who says, yeah,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 12: we're not going to participate at a national level, and
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 12: you know what this the whole state is suffering because
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 12: of these people. They make up stuff. It's like the
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 12: Obama years where they will make up something in the
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 12: middle of the night. You wake up the next day
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 12: and all of a sudden, the law has changed, or
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 12: it's an executive or you know, we have law changes
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 12: all the time, and we've got state representatives supposedly, but
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 12: we never hear anything about it, and all of a sudden,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 12: you know, it's a change in the law. We have
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 12: not had a state budget forever and ever and ever,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 12: and now they're trying to imitate the useless people in Congress. Well,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 12: we're going to fund this, but if that, we're going
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 12: to do this, and we're you know it, and we
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 12: changed you know, they did the redistricting, so I had
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 12: the I had Greg Murphy, who was kind of the
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 12: I'm a Republican but not really, and I really don't
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 12: get anything done and don't represent your views. But so
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 12: now the third district district is changed and we're we
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 12: were absorbed into the first district, and so well, I want.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 4: To jump into the weeds of redistricting, but I think
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 4: I get your point. And again it's it's sad, but
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 4: elections have consequences, and we've got to make sure that
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 4: all of us, every single breathing Republican gets out and
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 4: we vote on election to I mean, that's really in
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 4: a nutshell, Dave. I've got to run. But thank you

• 1:09:50
  Speaker 4: Hi Chris, what's going on?
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: Hi? Tod, how are you doing?
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 4: I'm well, thank you for asking.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad you said you've lost a lot of way.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: That's terrific.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 4: It's hard, it is, and I'm still I've still got
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 4: a lot more to chunk off. But it is a
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 4: It is a journey, Chris, a journy.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: Don't look like a ripper when you turn sideways and
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: check out your tongue.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 4: I'll try not to anyway.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: I was calling about the man with the red, white
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: and blue.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: The only thing I can think of, and the only
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: reason people are upset about this is years ago in
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: school we read that nobody is supposed to wear the flag. Well,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: he wasn't wearing a flag. He was just wearing a red,
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: white and blue suit. What if I got a red,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: white and blue shirt that I want to wear, Are
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: they gonna knock me down for that?
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a fair point. Yeah, that was definitely not
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 4: a flag. It was, you know, a suit. And so
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 4: if just if you want, took the suit coat itself
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 4: as just red and white stripe, you could wear that
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 4: for Christmas.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: Right there, you go, multi versatile.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 4: The candy cane.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, I can dress up like a candy cane.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 4: That's it. Chris got big plans for the fourth.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: Just stay cool.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 4: It's a it's a scorcher out there, absolutely whatever. All right, well, Chris,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 4: Happy Happy fourth of July to you and your family.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: Happy Fourth of July to you too.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 7: All right, let's sells.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: I like hearing Dylan and the girl and the girl.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 4: Ellen that her name is Ellen, Yes, Ellen, okay, and
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 4: I we can't forget Ian.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: I go all the way back to Rush Limbaugh. Oh boy,
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: every day at lunchtime. Yeah, I shared an office with
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: my boss and he always sat in the office in
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: eighties lunch and had Rush Limbaugh on. So that's how
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: I found out about Rush Limbaugh because I didn't.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 4: Know a thing about him, Is that right? What a
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 4: great story. All right, well, Chris, thank thank you again
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 4: and a good hearing from you. We don't be a stranger.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 4: Let's go to Keith and Kansas. Hi, Keith, what's on
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 4: your mind?
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 17: Todd? How were you today?
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 4: I'm good? Thank you for asking.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 17: Well, good deal. I'm just reminiscing about the bi centennial.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 17: Back then when Gerald Ford was president, the entire country
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 17: was dressed in red, black and blue with stars. We
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 17: had license plate tags, we had lapel fins. Everything we
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 17: did was patriotic back in nineteen seventy six. Not saying
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 17: that I'm old, but I had a good time back then.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 4: You know, I remember I was just a little fella,
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 4: but I do remember enough to know that it was
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 4: like a huge deal. And you're right. I mean everybody
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 4: was celebrating. There was none of this division. I mean
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 4: we were celebrating together as a country.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 14: Yep.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 17: We had license plates, we had letters, we had money,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 17: we had everything was marked with bi centennial. We just
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 17: really got into it.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 4: Oh it was uh. I remember the parades and that
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 4: funky star. Remember the funky design there. It was kind
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 4: of right out of the Yeah, Schoolhouse Rock.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 17: I've still got a license plate with that on.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 4: It is that right.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 17: In fact, in fact, I've still got my red, white
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 17: and blue Star shirt that I'm gonna wear this weekend
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 17: from that that Lientennial celebration.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 4: Wow, that was it was really it was quite remarkable,
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 4: and I think President Trump was really trying to emulate that,
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 4: and that's you know, unfortunately a lot of the Democrats,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 4: you know, are you know, pushing back. But ultimately, I
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 4: don't think the American people care. I think they do
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 4: want to celebrate. We've certainly seen that play out, and
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 4: of course so many things happening around the nation and
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 4: that thing yesterday with Teddy Roosevelt and the rough Riders
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 4: just unbelievable. But anyway, yeah, thanks for taking us down
• 1:13:58

  Speaker 4: Dolly Parton and she's going into competition against BUCkies, so
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 4: she's opening up her own version of a Bucky's, you know,
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 4: truck stop. Of course, BUCkies they don't allow truckers, but
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 4: Dolly does. And from all indications, it is an amazing
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 4: and amazing play.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah. This this this video shows and explains all of
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 6: the things. But we talked about it the other day.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 6: It is. It rivals BUCkies pretty closely, if not better.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 4: It's it's pretty impressive and they have like coffee shops
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 4: and Apparently if you've been to Dollywood, and if you've
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 4: had is it called the cinnamon bread? Oh my gosh,
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 4: is it that good?
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 14: What?
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 6: It is the best thing that you'll ever have. Really,
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 6: it's crazy, and yeah, you get it at Dollywood, and yeah, here.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 4: Too, I have. So this is what's amazing. I have
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 4: never had the cinnamon bread, but I hear it's like
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 4: the best thing ever.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 6: It's like a cinnamon roll, like a soft cinnamon roll,
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 6: right out of the oven. It's not hard or crunchy.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 6: It's like, I don't know, it is just heavenly people.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, they go on and on and on about that.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 4: I would, all right. So anyway, this guy, this kid,
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 4: well he decided to go and check it out, and
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 4: it's safe to say he's really excited about what he saw.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, at least at least he's excited.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 4: Well, let's take a listen.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 18: So I have stumbled upon Dolly Parton's travel stop, and
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 18: I just want to say, this ain't no damn truck stop. Okay,
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 18: this is literally Dollywood with unleaded gas.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 18: Can I already tell you now? When I get up
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 18: in here and they ask me if I want to
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 18: rewards card. The answer is going to be yes. And
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 18: if Dolly wants myself security numbers, you can have that too.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 18: I don't know whether I want to buy gas or
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 18: a gospel CD or eat a damn meat loaf in here.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 18: I mean hell, I just know BUCkies is quaking in
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 18: their damn boots right now.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 15: They've got dag.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 18: Gum cups, clothes, CDs, a coffee shop, a restaurant in here,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 18: a dag gum guitar chandelier. I just heard live music
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 18: over here. I think I'm about to start planning my
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 18: vacations around going to a damn gas station. Just about
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 18: the only people in here are over sixty five, which
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 18: is iconic, y'all. They have cinnamon bread. I'm about to
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 18: start speaking in tongues, and I'm a Baptist. I've got
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 18: to get out of here before I spend eighty seven
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 18: hundred and forty four dollars and twenty seven cents on
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 18: stuff that I don't need. But honestly, if Dolly Parton
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 18: has it, I probably need it, so I'm gonna I'm
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 18: all shock. Anyways, if you're in the area, stop by,
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 18: I reckon. Oh that's a guitar. Well, I'll be I've
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 18: never seen anything like it.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 7: I tell you why.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 18: I'm gonna come back for fun in about a week.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 4: Wow, he really liked the place.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'd say so.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 4: Well so. So anyway, there you go. If you've ever
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 4: been in one of these, one of those on I
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 4: sixty five, I guess that's what right outside of Nashville.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 4: I have to imagine.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 6: Is it just one? They have multiple? I'm wondering because
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 6: it like feels new. So I don't know.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 4: No, there's just one. Yeah, there's just one. So I
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 4: want to switch gears here. This is from Daniel Craig.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: Remember he played a Bond James Bond. Anyway, this is fascinating.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 4: Daniel Craig is stirring debate after revealing how he taught
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 4: his children to deal with bullies. In a recent interview,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 4: he said that the kids should hit that his kids
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 4: should speak up first, but if the bully continues, they
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 4: have the right to defend themselves physically. And his remarks
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 4: are apparently going viral and people are weighing in on
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 4: whether or not you know what he said was accurate.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 4: And here's what he said. If your kid is bullying
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 4: my kid and my kid has tried to tell your
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 4: kid to stop, and your kid doesn't. My kid has
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 4: been instructed to punch your kid in the face. And
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 4: they're saying this is controversial. I'm trying to understand what
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 4: is controversial about this. I don't there's nothing controversial. So
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 4: people are weighing in. I mean, forty thousand people have
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 4: weighed in on this conversation, and it seems like most
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 4: everybody agrees with Daniel Craig. Wendy says, we told our
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 4: kids when they were growing up to never start something,
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 4: but to always finish something, and that if they got
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 4: suspended from school for simply standing up for themselves, we
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 4: would take them out for ice cream. I love this.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 4: I love this. Bruno writes in in kindergarten, my son
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 4: was bullied and one day he had enough and Roundhouse
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 4: kicked the kid in the face, got one day suspended
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 4: from school, and got ice cream from dad. Sounds like
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 4: a good dad.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 6: Roundhouse kick is crazy.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 4: You know that's a Chuck Norris family right there. Yeah,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 4: they're all about Walker. Roy writes in the only time
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 4: I was called by the principal was when my son
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 4: beat a bully down. I asked the principal one question
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 4: who won. He said that my son was still beating
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 4: the bully as he was being pulled off of him.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 4: That's great, So I took my boy to Hooters for dinner. Wow, well,
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 4: you know your son became a man.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 6: Every way.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 4: Kelly writes in I'm a gen X mom. I had
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 4: the same parenting style. I've always told my boys, don't
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 4: start it, but you'd better finish it. I will defend
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 4: your actions to the bitter end. I love this story.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 6: I'm glad more people agree because we don't want a
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 6: bunch of softies just rolling out.
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 4: Oh and that's the whole thing. Yeah, it's that. I
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 4: think people finally feel emboldened to stand up and say, yeah,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 4: this is how. But the problem now is you know,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 4: when there's a fight at school, you they call the cops,
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 4: so you've got to deal with law enforcement. And back
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 4: in the day, this was something that was settled on
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 4: the playground.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, we had scheduled fights. Yeah, he settled it
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 6: right there. No one else needs to get involved. That's it.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 6: And it only lasts like thirty seconds exactly, and they're
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 6: friends afterwards exactly exactly.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 4: Of course, now you got all the kids running around
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 4: with weapons. They are fifteen's and so it's a little
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 4: bit different, but it does make it does make you
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 4: want to give believe the death. Sorry, so let's go
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 4: to Hooters. I hope you said that in front of
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 4: the principle.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 6: That's because the kid that defends himself more than likely
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 6: has been getting more in trouble now. We've been seeing
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 6: that obviously.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. There is another story that's gone viral and
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 4: I'm curious to hear from our listeners on this, and
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 4: it is a people are really upset at this this woman.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 4: So it's a husband and wife and the wife, the
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 4: husband has to get up very very early in the
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 4: morning and I guess he's a construction worker or something. Anyway,
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 4: she gets up and she prepares his meals, and she
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 4: goes out and gets his cooler out of the truck
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 4: and washes it and you know, makes a home cooked
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 4: meal for lunch, she makes him a home cooked breakfast,
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 4: and she just goes above and beyond to make sure
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 4: that her husband is taken care of and is cared for.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 4: And people are really upset about this, and they're they're
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 4: saying that that the wife is overdoing it. That she
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 4: should not she should not be serving her husband in
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 4: that manner.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 6: What's of feminazis probably.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 4: It's exactly what they are. Yeah. So and you know,
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 4: you know they're the libtards. Yeah, because there were also
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 4: a lot of people who say, no, no, no, this is
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 4: how this is biblical, This is how women should be,
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 4: you know, serving your husband and loving your husband by
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 4: preparing meals and taking care of the house while he's
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 4: out there, you know, working on a construction field or
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 4: doing whatever to earn the income. And again, the point
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 4: is that the husband in the videos is actually going
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 4: above and beyond to help his wife, which is what
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 4: a husband's supposed to be doing.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they're both forms of sacrificial love. I mean, she's
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 6: going above and beyond. She doesn't have to do that,
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 6: but she chooses to because she's in love exactly.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 4: And so they're saying no, no, no, this is besogynistic.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 4: This is like back in the nineteen forties and fifties.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 4: What's wrong with that?
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 6: These people are not getting married and if they do,
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 6: it's not gonna last very.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 4: Long, not not at all. I mean, it's crazy. So
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 4: does does missus producer when you come home? Does she
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 4: have like a mountain dew ready for you and some
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 4: che to pepper Man or oh, doctor pepper An.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 6: She's a fantastic cook. Oh really really good job.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, oh that's good. So that's a big thing. If
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 4: if the wife can cook, that's you've got. You know,
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 4: that's a rare thing.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 6: And if she can't and she's willing to, that's even better.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's that's love. And then you can learn too,
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 6: if you'd like to. As a man, you can learn
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 6: to cook.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 4: I just don't know why people are so upset with
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 4: a loving couple, you know, who are literally demonstrating their
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 4: love and affection, and they're like, oh, this is ridiculous.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 4: She ought to be in bed, she had the husband
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 4: ought to make his own lunch. I don't know. Nine
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 4: oh one two six zero five nine two six hour
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 4: telephone omber. That's nine oh one two six zero five
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 4: nine two six. I don't think it's kind of romantic.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 4: Let's go to the the phones our good friend, miss

• 1:27:06
  Speaker 19: like to sing with Doctor Trump?

• 1:27:13
  Speaker 4: got to go check out doctor Trump. It's it's pretty epic.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 19: The funniest if you have TDS. A told Rosio Donald
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 19: and all these idiots drink coke.

  Speaker 4: This is the Tom Starr Show.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 20: Have you or someone you know been diagnosed with TDS?
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 20: The symptoms can be relentless. Fortunately, I'm doctor Trump and
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 20: I have a treatment plan. Let's hear what some of
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 20: my patients have to say.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 15: I have been suffering for over a decade, and after
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 15: listening to doctor Trump, I can see some results.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 7: Man, I've been suffering for years. I really didn't believe
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 7: that was help out there. That was when I came
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 7: across this video on TV.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 17: I really thought I was a lost cause this was
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 17: gonna affect me for the rest of my life.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 12: But after using the treatment plan, I can see a difference.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 20: I really wasn't sure I could help some of these people.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 20: They were so far gone. I wasn't really sure.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 3: I had no idea how much this was affecting my life.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 7: My work has slowed down. I'm hardly recognizable anymore. I
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 7: just needed help.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 11: I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, constantly angry.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 4: That's Denaror. I made everyone miserable around me.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 15: I feel like I've aged twenty years in the last
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 15: two years. Julia Roberts, I've been so concerned. I was
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 15: really starting to worry about my future.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 6: The treatment is simple.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 20: Turn off fake news, say your prayers, and if you
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 20: ever feel anxious, just have a diet coke like me,
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 20: and you're going to see a remarkable difference in your life.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 4: Dylan, I'm I'm a little misty.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm tearing up.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 4: I'm a little misty.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 6: We have the funniest president of all time. Also, can
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 6: we just say the AI, the links, the AI has gone.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 6: Those looked real, they looked like they were really there.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 4: It did. I mean, it was Rosio Donald in there.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's amazing how many people you know
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 4: that want to apparently be cured. Yeah, so yeah, all right,
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 4: let's go. Let's go to the phones. Cleveland, Georgia Sevil
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 4: joins us. What's on your.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 21: I heard you talking about kids and have parents handle situations.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 4: With yes, mm hmm.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 21: I'd like to tell my story. My son, he had
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 21: a classmate or at he wasn't any sing grady with you,
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 21: but he was careful wanting to start fights with me.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 21: And my son was kindly piddling in martial arts. Well, uh,
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 21: I told him, I said, okay, I said, when he
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 21: wants to start to fight with you, I'll just say,
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 21: hold your hand out and say, hey, show kids with me.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 21: Jesus wants us to be friends. And I told him
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 21: that about three times. He come in from school one
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 21: day and he says he always called me, say, well,
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 21: they never will call me mom. And he said, so,
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 21: guess what, And I said what And he told me
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 21: he said that boy came up, tried to start a
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 21: fight with him, and he said, he told him. He
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 21: put his hand out, he said, let's shake hands and
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 21: be friends. That's what Jesus wants us to do. And
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 21: he said, from then, I now this is in. Let's see,
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 21: this was in high school and the rest of the
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 21: time he was in high school.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 19: That boy.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 21: Let everybody know what's gool. Hey, you don't even look
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 21: crooked at that boy?
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 10: Your I get you.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 4: Oh boy, wow, what a story, What a story.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 19: And this because.
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 10: Jesus, uh, it's like I had raised the kids right.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 4: So well you that's exactly what you did. And good
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 4: for good for him. What a great story, What a
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 4: great story. Well, so will God bless you, and thank
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 4: you for calling in today. Thank all right? How about that?
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 4: So don't you be looking crooked at anybody? That's what
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 4: That's what the bully said.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 6: That's about the sweetest thing I've ever heard.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 4: How about that?
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 6: If only all fights could be settled that way, that'd
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 6: be great.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 4: You see, you extend the right handed fellowship, and if
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 4: that doesn't work, you whip out the cast iron skill
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 4: it with your left hands. In case you'll have a
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 4: come to Jesus meeting one way or the other, as
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 4: they say, all right, we've got to take a quick
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 4: break here, folks. Nine oh one two six zero five
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 4: nine two six is our telephone number. That's nine oh
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 4: one two six zero five nine two six. This is
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 4: the Todd Starns Show. All right. Just moments ago, President
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 4: Trump making an announcement. He is declaring today National Scallops Day.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 4: Lovely you ever had a scallop there?
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 6: Dulla?
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 4: You know it's they're actually pretty good.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 6: How do you eat scallops?
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 4: Will you? With a four?
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: Ok?
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 6: It's so I'm getting clams mixed up with the scalp.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 4: I'm not a big clam guy.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 6: I'm not.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 4: You know, people love clam, but I'm a big scallop guy.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 4: I like the fried fish. I mean, if I'm going
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 4: to red Lobster, I'm not going to order. I mean,
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 4: you should order the scallops. But you know you gotta
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 4: go with Uncle Waltz. Okay, I mean that's what you're
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 4: gonna do. But yeah, So anyway, the President declaring that
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 4: National Scallop Day. He says, because the National Oceanic and
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 4: Atmospheric Administration is opening up the northern edge of Georgia's
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 4: bank to scallops fishing, which is gonna apparently really help
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 4: us out. But then the President concludes with this in
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 4: all camps, go out and vote Republican in the midterms,
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 4: because if the Communists get in, you'll never fish again.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 4: That's not good. I mean, what are you gonna do
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 4: at Campton D's for crying out loud? I want to
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 4: go to the Patriot mobile use maker line. Hello to
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 4: our good friend, host of the incredibly popular podcast Politically Basic,
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 4: Kyle Campbell. Kyle, I hope you're doing good today.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 15: I'm doing great, Todd. It's almost fourth of July, so
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 15: happy two fiftieth to you all over there.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 4: I'm just curious. Are you a big scallops fan?
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 15: No, but it sounds like National Scallops Day might not
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 15: be such a good day for the scallops, even though
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 15: it's going to be a great day for the scallop
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 15: fishermen and women of our great nation.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is true, man. I guess maybe it's just
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 4: me and I also like scallop potatoes, but that's a
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 4: different conversation. But the idea that the President is saying,
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 4: if you don't get out of vote, you may not
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 4: be able to fish Aghim because the communists very to
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 4: come in and make our lives miserable. And that really
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 4: is our talking point of the day, Kyle, is the
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 4: rise of communism here in America. Were you surprised by
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 4: how quickly things are growing here on the communist side
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 4: of the aisle?
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 15: Well, I think the whole country was surprised. This has
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 15: really skyrocketed, and these primaries are showing us that maybe
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 15: these DSA candidates have more popularity in what they're trying
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 15: to offer than we realized. But yeah, I think the
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 15: President likes to be tongue in cheek a little bit.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 15: He likes to be a little frisky and playful sometimes.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 15: But his point is spot on here. Right We're watching
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 15: New York City mayor Mom, Donnie say that you've got
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 15: to set your thermostat to like one hundred and fifty
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 15: degrees because the electric grid can't take it. So to
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 15: say that, you know, you better vote the right way
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 15: or these policies are going to restrict some of the
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 15: most basic things that we do in our everyday lives,
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 15: like fish and you know, go out and rely on
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 15: the systems that provide for us our industries our energy grid,
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 15: our you know, feed our families. Yeah, that is going
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 15: to happen. So there's a lot going on right now
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 15: in terms of Democrat policies are lacked thereof kind of
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 15: opening the door to these more socialist candidates and socialist policies.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 15: But it's an interesting, interesting, and kind of scary thing
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 15: to watch, truly.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 4: And Kyle when you actually break down, for example, Zo
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 4: ma'am Dommi, who is the de facto leader of the
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 4: Democrat Party, I mean Kamala Harris calling basically to kiss
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 4: the ring of the communist ring. You know, he's touting about, oh,
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 4: you know how great things are, but they're not great.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 4: He had to have a five and a half billion
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 4: dollar bailout from the state Capitol in New York just
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 4: to pay their bills. And then all of the things
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 4: he's promised he has not delivered on in New York City.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 4: The bus fairy has still got to pay for a bus.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 4: You need a babysitter, you gotta pay for that. Meanwhile,
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 4: you got all the billionaires and millionaires and they're packing
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 4: up and they're getting out a dodge because they know
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 4: what's coming down the pike here.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 15: Well, that's socialism one oh one. You dangle the promise
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 15: of everything free and for people who are living in
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 15: challenging economic times, that all sounds great, and you'll see
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 15: them sacrifice maybe a little bit of ideology, maybe a
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 15: little bit of moral grounding, to get that thing that
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 15: they believe has been taken from them because of policies
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 15: that have led to this economy. Right, So we're not
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 15: seeing the FED lower rates. We're still dealing with inflation.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 15: Things are so expensive. Gas prices are just on the
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 15: cusp of starting to come downward. Right Not here in California,
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 15: we had the highest gas tax in the nation, just
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 15: implemented the other day. That's a state issue. But what
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 15: socialism is offering looks so beautiful. It's this beautiful, perfect red,
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 15: juicy apple on the outside. You cut it open and
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 15: it's rotting from the inside out. And people just haven't
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 15: quite realized. I think they're starting to understand this. But
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 15: when your DSA leadership and your socialist candidates are taking
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 15: things like okay, a five and a half billion dollar bailout,
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 15: but then turning around and just saying, look, we balanced
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 15: the budget, they're not owning up to how they're shoring
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 15: up their socialist policies. They're still putting the shiny apple
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 15: front on all of this. It's going to take people
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 15: really good discernment and a little bit of time to understand.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 15: This leads to economic disaster, it leads to cultural disaster,
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 15: and it's just no good for anyone in any way.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, here's a guy on Fox News. They had a
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 4: big crowd there from Fox and Friends the other day,
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 4: and here's how he described socialism. Cut fifteen plays.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 13: My name is Ken And when you talk about socialism,
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 13: I go back to the Margaret Thatcher line. Socialism is
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 13: a wonderful system until you run out of other people's money.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 14: What do you think is driving to do?
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 6: Do you think it's greed? Do you think it's jealousy?
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 13: I think these kids grew up getting free stuff and
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 13: now they're being promised more free stuff, and that's why
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 13: they're voting.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 7: It starts in the home, right at home.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 13: And in school. You know, they need to learn what
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 13: made this country great, you know, and how you know
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 13: it was hard work, but you get rewarded for hard work.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 4: I keep going back to Ronald Reagan's great speech he
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 4: gave back in the nineteen sixties, that you know, freedom
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 4: has not passed along in our bloodstream. Every generation has
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 4: to fight for freedom and that means educating the next
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 4: generation as well. And Kyle, I'm wondering if we if
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 4: we've failed in that task.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 15: Well, all of the systems that are influencing our children.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 15: Gen Z and Gen Alpha behind them are failing. I
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 15: love that Ronald Reagan quota is absolutely right. We are
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 15: never more than one generation away from losing this. That
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 15: feels very real right now. Doesn't because when you don't
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 15: have a strong church, you don't have a strong fact
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 15: based educational system, you don't have parents really strongly engaged
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 15: in raising children in the ways that maybe we were raised.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 15: All of these systems are priming our future generations to yes,
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 15: want the free stuff, but also simultaneously not comprehend what's
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 15: going to happen if they don't get their facts right,
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 15: get their history right, understand what's coming down the pipeline
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 15: and what's really coming down the pipeline taught. And I
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 15: think this is going to sound a little intense and
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 15: maybe a little histrionic for your audience here, but these
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 15: policies and these leaders who believe that they that socialism
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 15: is the way, or maybe they don't even believe it, right,
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 15: They just this is the wave that they're writing to
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 15: leadership and control and influence. They are the ones with
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 15: the hand on the door knob, and they're opening the
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 15: door not just to socialism, but to other people and
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 15: other countries who have wealth, who have influence, who want
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 15: to come in and establish themselves in the United States. Yes,
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 15: we've seen it with China, we've seen it with Russia,
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 15: and now we're seeing it come from the Middle East.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 15: They're bringing their culture, they're bringing their religion, they're bringing
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 15: their ideology, and they're bringing their money with them. So
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 15: we've got to fight for our constitution, our way of
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 15: life here. We have to fight for Christian values, which
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 15: our nation was founded on, and we're hearing so much
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 15: wonderful history about that as we get ready to celebrate
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 15: our two hundred and fiftieth. But if we're just going
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 15: to kick back and take the handout, we are at
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 15: risk of losing that very thing that Ronald Reagan warned
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 15: us against.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 4: Kyle Campbell as the host of the Politically Basic podcast,
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 4: You got to go check that podcast out and follow
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 4: Kyle on all of our social media platforms, you know, Kyles,
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 4: As we look towards celebrating the two fiftieth, I am
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 4: still bolish about November. I think the republic I think
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 4: things are so just disjointed on the Democrats side of
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 4: they all. I think the Republicans are really really going
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 4: to have to screw things up for them to lose
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 4: an election day.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 15: What say you, Well, I like to use the quote
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 15: from our great friend Chad Connolly over there at faith wins.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 15: Republicans aren't. Aren't so adept at this right? When we
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 15: when we quit and when we lose, we quit. And
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 15: that is a problem. We've got to stop, Quinton said.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 15: He calls it quit Quinton because that's the South Carolina
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 15: in him. Yes, the Republicans need to not rely now
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 15: on the DSA Party, throwing the Democrat Party off their
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 15: game enough they can still come back. There's still a
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 15: threat to our wonderful, beautiful, free way of life in
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 15: this constitutional republic. It's time to let this two hundred
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 15: and fiftieth our semi quin centennial. How's that for a term?
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 5: For you?
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 15: To inspire everyone to fight for what makes this country great?
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 15: And Republicans have got to get tough and strong and
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 15: out there in the political square and fight for the
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 15: next two hundred and fifty years of greatness in this country.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 4: All right, Kyle, So tell me about the big celebration.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 4: You guys doing something big out there in California with
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 4: the family.
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 15: Well, we live on the best coast and so we
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 15: have a beautiful Pacific Ocean. We'll be out in the harbor.
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 15: I'm in this central coast of California. They do a
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 15: fabulous fireworks display, all the boats get decorated and do
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 15: a boat parade. So we are stocked up and ready
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 15: to just celebrate all day long, all weekend actually, and
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 15: probably beyond that. What about you, my.
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 7: Friend, what are you up to?
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 4: Same here? You know, it's like three hundred degrees here
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 4: at Memphis, but we are going to be celebrating close
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 4: with with air conditioning nearby, and it will not be
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 4: seventy eight degrees, more like sixty eight degrees. So, Kyle, look,
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 4: thank you so much for joining us, and we just
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 4: love your great insight and hope you have a great
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 4: Independence Day celebration.
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 15: Same to you, my friend. God bless you and God
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 15: bless the USA.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 4: All right, Kyle Campbell, everybody, host of the Politically Basic podcast.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 4: I just I love it. I absolutely love it. All Right,
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 4: we've got to take a break. And as we go
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 4: to break, we're going old school Red Skelton, one of
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 4: the greats, the all time greats, explaining what the Pledge
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 4: of Allegiance is all about. Let's take a listen cut
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 4: twenty four.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 5: I remember a teacher that I had, now only I
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 5: went through the seventh grade. I went to the seventh
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 5: grade and I left home when I was ten years
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 5: old because I was hungry, and I used to do
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 5: I work in the summer and I go to school
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 5: in the winter. But I had this one teacher. It
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 5: was the principal of the Harrison School in Vincenes, Indiana.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 5: To me, this was the greatest teacher, a real sage
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 5: of my time. Anyhow, he had such wisdom and we
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 5: were all reciting the Pledge of Allegiance one day and
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 5: he walked over this little teacher.
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 4: Mister Lastwell was his name.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 14: Mister Lastwell is.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 5: He says, I have been listening to you boys and
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 5: girls recite the Pledge of Allegiance all semester, and it
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 5: seems as though it's becoming monotonous to you. If I may,
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 5: may I recite it and try to explain to you
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 5: the meaning of each word. I me an individual, a
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 5: committee of one pledge dedicate all of my worldly goods
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 5: to give without self pity, allegiance, my love, and my
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 5: devotion to the flag, our standard old glory, a symbol
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 5: of freedom. Wherever she waves, there's respect because your loyalty
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 5: has given her a dignity that shouts freedom as everybody's job. United,
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 5: That means that we have all come together. States, individual
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 5: communities that have united into forty eight great states. Forty
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 5: eight individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose, all
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 5: divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common purpose.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 5: And that's love for country and to the republic. Republic
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 5: a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 5: chosen by the people to govern, and government is the people,
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 5: and it's from the people to the leaders, not from
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 5: the leaders to the people. For which it stands one nation,
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 5: one nation, meaning so blessed by God, indivisible, incapable of
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 5: being divided. With liberty, which is freedom, the right of
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 5: power to live one's own life without threats, fear, or
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 5: some sort of retaliation and justice. The principle are qualities
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 5: of dealing fairly with others, for all, for all, which means,
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 5: boys and girls, it's as much your country as it
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 5: is mine. And now, boys and girls, let me hear
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 5: you recite the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 5: the flag of the United States of America and to
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 5: the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible with
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 5: liberty and justice for all. Since I was a small boy,
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 5: two states have been added to our country, and two
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 5: words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance under God.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 5: Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 5: a prayer? And that would be eliminated from schools too.
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 4: All right, welcome back to the ton Stars Radio Show.
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 4: And wow, what a celebration it is going to be
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 4: this weekend. I know so many of you are already
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 4: making your plans, you're on the road traveling, and we
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 4: just want to say thank you for joining us and
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 4: being a part of our celebration here on air. And
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 4: I can't I can't think of a better way to
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 4: to wrap all of this up as we celebrate the
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 4: two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the greatest nation on
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 4: the face of the earth. Then with a very special
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 4: rendition of the national anthem, and ultimately, I think this
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 4: particular version, I think everybody agrees this is one of
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 4: the very, very best renditions of the Star Spangled banner.
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 4: So from all of us here at the Todd Sterns show,
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 4: Happy Birthday America.
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 3: It's or the sweet whist instrum, the stall who on
