• 1:04
  Speaker 5: got a lot to do. And Dylan, what do I
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: do When Todd Starns says he's going to take a
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: day off? What does that usually mean?
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: It means you're in our office building, maybe five minutes
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: later than usually would be.
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's pretty good, Hirk. So I was downstairs.
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: We have a multi level broadcast bunker here and I
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: was in the lower level of the bunker, but it
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: sounded a great, great show. Thank you, Mary, Dylan needed
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: a nice job.
• 1:33

• 1:44
  Speaker 5: and thank you guys for being so kind to Mary.
• 1:46

• 1:48
  Speaker 5: her now on Newsmax. She's a Newsmax contributor, so we
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: love seeing her around the Newsmax building. So look, let's
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: talk about what happened in the wee hours of the morning.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: And I've got a lot to say about this. By
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: the way, this is open line Friday, so you get
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: to call in and talk about whatever is on your mind.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: I want you to write down our number. We have
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: all usually on Fridays, we have a lot of calls
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: and we do our best to get to everybody, but
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: you need to call in early. Nine oh one two
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: two six zero five nine two six. Now, look, here's
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: the deal. Senate Republicans sort of had the Democrats by
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: their private parts on this funding bill, and all the
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: Republicans had to do was stand their ground. That's it.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: Everybody is now blaming the Democrats up until this point,
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: everybody had been blaming the Democrats for these long lines
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: at TSA checkpoints the fact that Democrats, by not funding
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: homeland security putting all of us in grave danger. And
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: the American people understood what was going on. They understood
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: that it wasn't the Republicans, it was the Democrats. Well,
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: in the wee hours of the morar, Senate Majority Leader
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: John Thune decided to throw in the towel and capitulate.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: And I know you're going to hear a lot of
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: spin coming from Senate Republicans. Don't believe any of it, folks.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: This is really an abomination what happened. And I've outlined
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: a few things. First of all, and by the way,
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: someone just shared this with me that Senate Majority Leader
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: John Thune has now left Washington with a private escort
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: through the airport. So while all the rest of you
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: are standing in line, the Majority leader is on his
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: way out of town with his private escort. This is unacceptable,
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: just unacceptable. Now, I want to share a few things,
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: and I've been posting a lot on social media about this,
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: because all of this happened at two am while you
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: were sleeping, and that's all you need to know. Whenever
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: Senate Republicans do something after after working hours, say after
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: six or seven o'clock at night, it is always bad
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: for the American people. That's just the way it is.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: So I don't want you to listen to any of
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: the spin because the Democrats got everything they wanted. Chucky
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: Schumer is out there celebrating because this was a massive
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: victory for the Democrats. John Thun handed the Democrats a
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: huge victory, and you, the American voters, well, wait, you're
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: getting holds. You're getting screwed. And that was the reason
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: why John Thun scheduled this vote while the nation was asleep,
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: because he wanted to give the senators time, a Republican
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: senator's time to skip out of town before voters woke
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: up and discovered what had happened. So here's the deal
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: Homeland Security is, they're gonna they're gonna fund TSA. And
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: that was the sticking point because TSA impacts the average
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: American citizen, right, So that was that was really the
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: that was the pivot point here and now that's off
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: the table. That's gone. Also, just so you're aware that
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: the Republican senators left Washington without doing anything about the
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Save America Act. So, by the way, the House now
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: has to deal with this, and the question is exactly
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: how is the House going to respond? I know Speaker
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: Mike Johnson was enraged yesterday about this and he's really
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: upset now here is the Speaker just a few moments ago.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Is one of these walk and talk things. Take a listen.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: You get all number theeters shtners this morning about it's
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: infuriating that Democrats are willing to play a hate on
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: the American people simply so they can defund the agency
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: that is responsible literally through who can.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Come out illegal aliens.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's I mean, Johnson's like, dude, what do you
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: people do? What are you Republicans doing to us here?
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: So the question now is will the House Republicans go
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: along with what Majority Leader Thune did. Now, you have
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: a right to be upset about this. The question is
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: we've all been down and this is nothing new. We've
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: all sort of been down this road before when it
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: comes to the Republicans, and at some point you have
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: to ask yourself is it worth it? I mean, do
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: we I know Kevin Kylie's running as an independent. You've
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: got a few folks that are independents, and I think
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: Kylie is going to Caucus with his old party. He
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: was a Republican out in southern California and he's going
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: to be running as an independent for Congress again. At
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: some point, do you say, you know what, this is
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: not worth it when you look at what, for example,
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: the Republicans have done to the good conservative people of
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: North Carolina just every single time they betray you guys.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: I mean, right now, the new head of the RNC
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: is completely worthless, completely worth us, and I am afraid
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: we are going to be looking at really a disaster
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: in the midterms unless this gets all sorted out. I
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: believe we're going to be talking to Congressman John Rose
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: out of Tennessee. He is furious about what the Senate
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: Republicans have done here. And we'll also be talking to
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: Josh Jones. Normally we talked to Josh on Tuesdays. I
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: wanted to bring him back in because we've got to
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: figure out the political implications of all of this. So
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: I've come up with some ideas and I want to
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: hear your thoughts on this. I believe that we can
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: salvage something here, but this is what's going to have
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: to happen. Republicans are going to have to get right
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: back on those airplanes and come back to Washington. They're
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: going to have to convene, and they're going to have
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: to remove John Thune from his leadership position. As a
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: matter of fact, I'll go a step further. Any republic
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: any Senate Republican leader, has to be removed, and we've
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: got to get new leadership in there. You know what,
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: why not put jd Vance in charge? Why can't we
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: let jd Vance which, by the way, he would be
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: allowed to do. Let jd Vance be the majority leader
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: of the Republican Party and just cram the President's agenda
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: through the Senate. Because right now the Senate, the Republican
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: controlled Senate, is politically constipated. I mean, they are backed up,
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: and we have got to do something to unclog the
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: Republicans so that they can that they can get the
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: President's agenda to the President's desk. And I believe so,
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: and I no, those are not just the only ones
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: I've got to go through. I've got a list here,
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: a list here, Dylan, so bear with me. So we
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: remove Majority leader Thoon, we install an American first majority leader,
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: whether that be Jdvans or somebody else, then immediately vote
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: to nuke the felibuster, pass the Save America Act, confirm
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: the president's nominees, publicly apologize to the American people, and
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: then publicly apologize to President Donald J. Trump. I believe
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: if they can do those things, it might possibly salvage
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: all of this for the midterm elections. Otherwise, I think
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: we are going to watch the base of the party
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: not vote Democrat, but just stay home. And I've been
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: warning you about this for weeks now, and I'm preparing
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: you because you know there's been a lot of and look,
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: I'm a hopeful person, and there's still a chance to
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: turn this all around. But what happens if we find
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: out that our Republican leaders don't want to turn around,
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: that they don't want to change that Ultimately, the bottom
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: line here, The goal here was to ultimately sabotage and
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: stop the president's agenda. And one of the ways they
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: can do that and do it very effectively, is to
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: stop the agenda in the Senate. And that's basically what
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: they've done here. Chuck Schumer is over joyed today and
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: he ought to be. How do you this is? It's
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: it's sheer insanity, sheer insanity. But I got to tell
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: you something these I'll read this to you. This is
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: a statement from Schumer in the wake of the any
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: any hold on? Let me let me scroll down. Here,
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: here we go, Democrats. Democrats held firm in our opposition
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: that Donald Trump's rogue and deadly militia should not get
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: more funding without serious reforms, and we continue to fight
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: for those reforms. I'm very proud of our Democrat Caucus.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: Through it all, Senate Democrats stood united, no wavering, no
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: backing down. We held the line and they did. They
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: absolutely did, and I hate that. I hate that they did.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: But that's who the Democrats are. They will fight for
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: their whatever they believe in, they will fight for. But
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: we don't have fighters up on Capitol Health. And it
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: angered me when I saw the and by the way,
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: many of the Senate Republicans as they were running away
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: like rats on a sinking ship, and they had their
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: little private security escorts as they were whisked through the airports.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: They know what they did. And honestly, I think we
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: ought to. I think every single Republican ought to be primaried.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: And you know why I say that, I'm sorry, aside
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: from Rand Paul, Where's Ted Cruz, Where's Josh Hawley, Where's
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: Bill Haggerty? Where Marshall BlackBerry? Why aren't all these people
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: out there condemning the leader? And that's my point is
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: they're all guilty. That's all of them. People are No, No, Todd,
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: you don't mean all of them. No, I do mean
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: all of them. Because if you've got a majority leader
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: that's going to stand up there and stick it to
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: the American people, you have an obligation, not to your party,
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: you have an obligation to your constituents to get out
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: there and say, wait a second, hold up, This is
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: not why we were given control of the Senate, This
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: is not the president's this is not what the president
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: wanted us to do. We are here to stand up
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: for our president, the leader of our party, and more importantly,
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: we're here to defend the constituents and their desires. We
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: send them to Washington do something, and they're just not
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: doing it. But again, nobody, nobody's condemning. The only people
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: attacking John Thune are coming out of the House of Representatives.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: Of course, here is some sort of a new rule
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: going into effect him many Republican state parties and local
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: parties that if you say something ill about a fellow Republican,
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: you can actually be removed from the party. To that,
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: I say, great, just you know what, here's my membership,
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: here's my membership card. Burn, baby burn, because any sort
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: of a party that doesn't allow for healthy debates is
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: not a party that I want to be a part of.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: All Right, we've got a lot. I've got a lot
• 13:34

• 15:27
  Speaker 5: to write with. So I want to share this with
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: you before I give out the number. A Congressman, Andy Ogles,
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: actually just shared my list of things that the Senate
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: needs to do. But Ogles says that they are going
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: to they are going to add in so they've got
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: to vote on this. They're about to send this legislation
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: right back to the Senate and they're adding an ice
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: funding voter ID. Those are the two things they're going
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: to add back in and send it back to the Senate.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: But Ogles is really fired up about this, and I
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: appreciate him sending, you know, sharing my my information, but
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: anyway will and we'll get his audio in just a
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: moment what he had to say. But I want you
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: to write down this telephone number two O two two
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: two four thirty one twenty one. That's two O two
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: two two four thirty one twenty one. You need to
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: do two things. First of all, you need to call
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: your congress person and tell them do not do not
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: pass what the Senate just sent over. And then the
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: second thing you need to do is you need to
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: connect yourself with your senator's office and you need to
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: give them a piece of your mind. It needs to be,
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: and again very polite, but you need to have a
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: come to Jesus meeting with those folks, every single person
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: in that If we do that, we will We're gonna
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: break the phone system they're at the Capitol. But we've
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: got to do this, folks, we have to do it.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: This is one of those moments where we are going
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: to have to wield a mighty big voice and force
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: these Republicans to do the right thing. Here's Congressman Ogles.
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: So what the Senate did last night was they passed
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: a bill that did not fully fund the government, meaning
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: Child Sex Trafficking Investigation Unit isn't funded. They didn't fully
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: fund homeland security. So we're focused on amending the bill
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: and putting that back in and we're going to add
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: in voter ID.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: In the process.
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: They're cowardly, they didn't do their job, and now they
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: left town.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: They should come back and they should have to.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Do their job.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: Absolutely. As a matter of fact, I'm getting some new
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: intel right now. It's my understanding that the Speaker of
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: the House is furious along with the House Republican Whip
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: Tom Emmer and the Senate may have to come back here.
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: They may have to come back. Uh, we'll We've got
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: some audio and we'll play that coming up after the break.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: Tom Emmer on Fox just a few moments ago, he
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: said what the Senate did was not right. We're gonna
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: make sure that the porter is funded. We're not going
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: to allow a radical anarchist or socialist Marxist to create
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: an open border situation again, and Emmer says, this is
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: a very dangerous precedent. So I'm just curious, ladies and gentlemen,
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: what is your solution here? Do we need to demand?
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: Do you believe that John Thune needs to be removed?
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: Does President Trump need to step in here? Nine oh
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: one two six zero five nine two six is our
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero five
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: nine two six. Coming up, we're gonna be talking to
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: Congressman John Rose. He is on deck. A little bit
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: later on, Joe Messina is going to join us, and
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: also Parker May is going to drop by for a
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: look at March madness. Lord knows, we got a lot
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: of madness up on Capitol Hill right now. Also votes
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: Todd Stearns dot Com is our website, and I want
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: you to go and check out all of the great
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: content we have for you there. Again, I want to
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: share this number. Call the Capital switchboard two O two
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: two two four thirty one twenty one, and you give
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: those lawmakers a piece of your mind of America. We'll be
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: run im packed.
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: Everybody.
• 19:43
  Speaker 9: Well, actually, I'll start out with our speaker is very unhappy.
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: I'm not happy our whole leadership group. What the Senate
• 19:52
  Speaker 9: did was frankly not right. We are going to make
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: sure that border is funding. This is about making sure
• 20:00
  Speaker 9: that President Trump's number one part promise was that the
• 20:05
  Speaker 9: border was going to be secure. He's accomplished with Republican leadership.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Incredible things.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: Southern border.
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: It has never been as tight as it is right now.
• 20:14
  Speaker 9: But we are not going to allow these radical anarchist,
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: Marxist socialist Democrats to literally stop or create an open
• 20:23
  Speaker 9: border situation again like we experienced under Joe Biden and
• 20:27
  Speaker 9: Kamala Harris. And we're going to make sure that we
• 20:29
  Speaker 9: continued to deport criminal, illegal aliens. This is what Americans want.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: If there's a no vote in the House today, does
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: that mean that the Senate has to come back to
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: do it all over again, the House.
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: Will have a solution. That's as much as I can
• 20:44
  Speaker 9: tell you. There'll be more on that very shortly. I
• 20:47
  Speaker 9: think the leadership team with a speaker has been working
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: through this.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: Again.
• 20:51
  Speaker 9: They did this at three in the morning, Stuart. Instead
• 20:55
  Speaker 9: of doing it in the light of day when all
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: of American could watch what's going on. They did this
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: procedural move early in the morning. By the way, it
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: sets dangerous precedents going forward. If you could take appropriations
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: bills and start to take out pieces that you don't like,
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: this will never end.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: So we're working through it in the House.
• 21:14
  Speaker 9: We will have a solution and the Speaker will announce it,
• 21:17
  Speaker 9: hopefully within the next hour or so.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: All right, and we will let you know when that happens.
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: By the way, that was the Republican whip Tom Emmers.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: I want to go to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line,
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: say hello to our good friend Congressman John Rose from Tennessee.
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: And Congressman Rose also running to the next governor of Tennessee.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: And we'll ask him about that in just a moment.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: But Congressman, want to get your reaction to what the
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: Senate did in the wee hours of the morning.
• 21:46
  Speaker 10: Well, good afternoon, pod, thanks for having me, or good morning,
• 21:49
  Speaker 10: I guess where you are, thanks for having me on
• 21:51
  Speaker 10: the show today. And gosh, just kind of a gut punch,
• 21:56
  Speaker 10: frankly by the Senate to kind of capitulate it and
• 22:00
  Speaker 10: then leave.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: Town in the dark of night. The congressman, I've always said,
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: nothing good ever happens in Washington, d C. After ten
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: o'clock at night, and clearly that was the case here.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: My question is, what are you guys going to do
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: about it. We're hearing a lot of different reports coming
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: out of the House that this is a non starter.
• 22:21
  Speaker 10: What say you, Well, I think it should be. I think,
• 22:26
  Speaker 10: first of all, we should not capitulate to the Democrats
• 22:29
  Speaker 10: on their agenda to defund the police, in this case
• 22:32
  Speaker 10: EIST and customs and border protection. We know far too
• 22:36
  Speaker 10: well how that goes and how that ends, and that's
• 22:39
  Speaker 10: not what the American people voted for in twenty twenty
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: four when they gave us the majority in the House
• 22:44
  Speaker 10: and the Senate re elected President Trump. So we should
• 22:46
  Speaker 10: not do that, in my opinion, and I think we
• 22:49
  Speaker 10: have them on the ropes, and so that's why it's
• 22:51
  Speaker 10: so disappointing. To see the Senate leave town. And then secondly,
• 22:55
  Speaker 10: we should not be letting the Senate get off the
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: hook with the Save America. And so it's disappointing to
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: see them rush to get out of town and bypass
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: security in the process.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: Boy, they sure did, didn't they. And I've seen there's
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: been a lot of video of senators that are just
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: literally bypassing. First of all, I didn't think they were
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: going to be able to do that, but they clearly are.
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: Everybody else has to wait in line, but these senators
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: are able to walk right into those airplanes.
• 23:26
  Speaker 10: Rules for me but not for me, right, Yeah.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: It sure looks like it. It sure looks like it.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: A congressman, I shared something a little while ago. I
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: know several lawmakers your colleagues have been sharing this on
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: x I'm concerned here. I am concerned that what the
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: Senate did today could very well spell disaster for the
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: party in the midterms. First of all, do you share
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: that concern.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: Very much?
• 23:51
  Speaker 10: I do, And you know, I don't think it is
• 23:54
  Speaker 10: the right answer, because I do think the Democrats are
• 23:58
  Speaker 10: responsible for this ultimately, and I don't think they offer
• 24:02
  Speaker 10: a better pass forward in terms of governance. Of this country.
• 24:06
  Speaker 10: But as we've seen in the past, the Republican electric frankly,
• 24:10
  Speaker 10: will hold Republicans to account for failing to get the
• 24:13
  Speaker 10: job done. And it's hard to argue with that at
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: some level. I mean, obviously I would argue better us
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: than them to be in charge, because we know what
• 24:23
  Speaker 10: we get when they're in charge, and it is horrendous.
• 24:26
  Speaker 10: We saw that during the Biden years. So you know,
• 24:29
  Speaker 10: I would appeal to the American people to hold Republicans
• 24:33
  Speaker 10: feet to the fire, you know, keep Republicans in the
• 24:36
  Speaker 10: majority to support the president if we don't do it.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: But they're not doing that. No, Congressman, they're not doing that.
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: That's I mean, this is why you and I are
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: so upset right now, is that John Thune is blocking
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: the president's agenda.
• 24:51
  Speaker 10: He is indeed, he is indeed, But it can be worse.
• 24:55
  Speaker 10: And I think that's the appeal that I would make,
• 24:57
  Speaker 10: is it can be worse. Now we should wear them
• 25:00
  Speaker 10: out here, we should. I think you're right, we should
• 25:03
  Speaker 10: call on Food to step beside and let someone who
• 25:06
  Speaker 10: will carry the flag take over and lead the Senate.
• 25:10
  Speaker 10: Because Food is not getting the job done. He is
• 25:12
  Speaker 10: not willing to make the hard, tough calls here and
• 25:16
  Speaker 10: take the chances that are necessary to demonstrate to the
• 25:19
  Speaker 10: American people that Republicans actually will take up the range
• 25:23
  Speaker 10: of leadership and lead this country and get the President's
• 25:26
  Speaker 10: agenda put in place and save the Republic frankly by
• 25:30
  Speaker 10: passing to Save America Act.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: So you are, in addition to being a congressman, you're
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: also a constituent. You have two senators that represent you
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: in the US Senate from Tennessee. Why aren't we hearing anybody?
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: I hear all these people saying, you know what, no,
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: we stand with the president, we want all this to happen.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: But I don't hear anybody calling out John Thun in
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: the US Senate right now, not a one.
• 25:56
  Speaker 10: I think that's been extraordinary, the silnce. It has been deafening.
• 26:01
  Speaker 10: As they say, you know, they talk a mean game
• 26:04
  Speaker 10: and social media and they talk a mean game when
• 26:06
  Speaker 10: they're back in Tennessee. Recently heard the Senator Blackman's stay
• 26:11
  Speaker 10: she's part of a cabal. I think it was maybe
• 26:13
  Speaker 10: a misstatement. She said she's part of a cabal that's
• 26:17
  Speaker 10: going to go in Act to Save America Act. Well,
• 26:19
  Speaker 10: that didn't work out. So well, and so we should
• 26:22
  Speaker 10: hold them accountable, and they should be holding their leader accountable.
• 26:27
  Speaker 10: You know, I know they like to talk about how
• 26:29
  Speaker 10: the Senate is, you know, a more sophisticated place, but
• 26:34
  Speaker 10: they've got to get the job done, and they're not
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: getting the job done, and they need to take the
• 26:38
  Speaker 10: gloves off and punch hard and demand that leader Foon
• 26:42
  Speaker 10: actually provide the leadership that gets the job done.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: Here are Patriot we well news maker line. We've got
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: Tennessee Congressman John Rose joining us today. A congressman, what
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: is the what's the game plan here? I understand, I
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: know the speaker certainly appears to be really upset about
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: all of this. Do you believe we're going to see
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: any sort of action today? What can you tell us?
• 27:06
  Speaker 10: Well, so we're actually having a conference call of the
• 27:10
  Speaker 10: House Republican conference just before this interview started. And so
• 27:15
  Speaker 10: what at least one of the proposed pass forward pass
• 27:19
  Speaker 10: forward is for the House to offer a continuing resolution
• 27:24
  Speaker 10: that would that would get DHS back in operation and
• 27:29
  Speaker 10: then force the Senate to come back and respond to that.
• 27:33
  Speaker 10: And uh, and so they would be getting back on
• 27:35
  Speaker 10: planes and headed back into Washington, presumably over the weekend
• 27:39
  Speaker 10: or by Monday if that, if that moved forward, there
• 27:43
  Speaker 10: is considerable angst and disappointment and frustration in the Republican conference.
• 27:48
  Speaker 10: No one is happy. There are a few people who
• 27:50
  Speaker 10: think we should just rubber stamp the Senate action and
• 27:53
  Speaker 10: move forward, but I think that's the minority view at
• 27:56
  Speaker 10: this point. The question is, you know, can how quickly
• 27:59
  Speaker 10: can we turn something around? And then will the Senate
• 28:02
  Speaker 10: Will they sit on their hands at home for Easter
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: recess or Easter break, or will they get back into
• 28:08
  Speaker 10: town and get it and get the government reopened. As
• 28:11
  Speaker 10: you know, we've voted multiple times now to fund fully
• 28:15
  Speaker 10: fund the government, the fully fund DHS. It's the Senate
• 28:19
  Speaker 10: that's been failing to get the job done, and it's
• 28:21
  Speaker 10: the Democrats in the Senate who have repeatedly stood in
• 28:24
  Speaker 10: the way. So we should not lose sight of that
• 28:27
  Speaker 10: that the Senate, the Senate Democrats, are the are the
• 28:31
  Speaker 10: obstacles to funding DHS. They're responsible for the long lines
• 28:36
  Speaker 10: at the airports. It is Senate Democrats who are responsible
• 28:40
  Speaker 10: for TSA agents going weeks without pay. It is Senate
• 28:44
  Speaker 10: Democrats who are responsible for using the American people as
• 28:48
  Speaker 10: leveraged to protect criminal, illegal aliens, and we should not
• 28:52
  Speaker 10: let anyone lose sight of that fact. It is the
• 28:55
  Speaker 10: Senate Democrats, now there's bassment. You know, all but one
• 28:58
  Speaker 10: of the House Democrats I think have voted to this
• 29:02
  Speaker 10: repeatedly as well, So we shouldn't give them a pass.
• 29:05
  Speaker 10: It's just that it's good of Democrats that are blocking
• 29:08
  Speaker 10: this from getting put into law and funding these things,
• 29:11
  Speaker 10: and they've essentially gotten away with it at this point,
• 29:14
  Speaker 10: if we let this stand and.
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: Again going back to and you're right, everything you said
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: is absolutely right. And yet because of what the major
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: I don't understand why the majority leader did that. He
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: gave up the moral high ground here and he did
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: not have to do it. I think that's one of
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: the things that really frustrates me and the Save America Act.
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: This is so crucial, Congressman, to ensuring that we have
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: fair elections and the Democrats can't steal any more elections.
• 29:46
  Speaker 10: There's no question that that's true, and we have ample
• 29:49
  Speaker 10: evidence going all the way back of course to twenty
• 29:52
  Speaker 10: twenty and even before. But we all remember what happened
• 29:55
  Speaker 10: in twenty twenty. The Democrats got by with stealing that election.
• 29:59
  Speaker 10: They've can to do that, they will continue to do
• 30:02
  Speaker 10: it as long as we let them get by with it. Obviously,
• 30:05
  Speaker 10: since twenty twenty, President Biden presided over letting something in
• 30:09
  Speaker 10: an order of fifteen to thirty million more illegals than
• 30:12
  Speaker 10: into the country. The Democrats are determined to steal elections,
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: to cheap and use illegal aliens as pawns, to take
• 30:20
  Speaker 10: away the vote, the right to vote from the American
• 30:25
  Speaker 10: people and to have a fair vote. And while we
• 30:28
  Speaker 10: do better in Tennessee than most of the country, we're
• 30:31
  Speaker 10: still not perfect. And it really doesn't matter because if
• 30:34
  Speaker 10: Democrats are able to steal the election in other states,
• 30:37
  Speaker 10: then they diminish and dilute the votes of Tennessee and
• 30:41
  Speaker 10: in a way that impacts the future of the Republic.
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: Well, they certainly can. And a Congressman, real quick, I
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: know we have a lot of listeners across the volunteer state.
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: You're wanting to be the next governor, and of course
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: a huge primary battle, and again you're you've got to
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: Monty Fritz, who's a state representative, and Marshall Blackburn, who
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: is leaving the Senate to be the next governor. Why
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: are you the right man for that job.
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: Well, and now I'll just start by saying, you know,
• 31:09
  Speaker 10: obviously Senator Bifriend will stay in the Senate if she's
• 31:12
  Speaker 10: not elected governor, so Tennessee can have it both ways.
• 31:16
  Speaker 10: They can hold her to do the job that she
• 31:18
  Speaker 10: hired on to do and hired me to be the
• 31:21
  Speaker 10: next governor. But to answer your question, the job of
• 31:24
  Speaker 10: being governor is the job of being CEO of Tennessee,
• 31:27
  Speaker 10: of leading our state, and I have that kind of experience.
• 31:32
  Speaker 10: I will tell you the experience I've gotten in Congress
• 31:34
  Speaker 10: has been interesting, but it's not really relevant experience for
• 31:37
  Speaker 10: the job at hand. And neither of my opponents have
• 31:41
  Speaker 10: that experience, frankly, and so it really comes down to that,
• 31:45
  Speaker 10: do you want a career legislator or someone who doesn't
• 31:48
  Speaker 10: have the experience of leading a large organization, or do
• 31:51
  Speaker 10: you want someone who's already learned how to do that,
• 31:54
  Speaker 10: is ready to go to a job on go to
• 31:56
  Speaker 10: work on day one and do the job, roll up
• 31:58
  Speaker 10: their sleeves and not have to have on the job training.
• 32:01
  Speaker 10: I've seen that happen a lot. I experienced that on
• 32:04
  Speaker 10: my own dome, building my own businesses. I learned on
• 32:08
  Speaker 10: the job. But I've now got that experience, and so
• 32:10
  Speaker 10: I'm ready to go to work for Tennessee and on
• 32:11
  Speaker 10: day one.
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: All right, well, Congressman, we're going to leave it there.
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: I know you've got a very busy Friday ahead of you,
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: and we certainly appreciate you coming on the show.
• 32:20
  Speaker 10: Thank you, Todd. Keep up the good work. I appreciate
• 32:23
  Speaker 10: your advocacy on these important, critical issues for the future
• 32:26
  Speaker 10: of our country.
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: Well, we just we love America, Congressman, and we want
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: to make it where. By the way, I did see
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: you Monday, but you had all these reporters around you,
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: and I didn't want to interrupt the Q and A.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: But it was good to see you from a distance
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: in Memphis the other day.
• 32:41
  Speaker 10: Very good to see you, Todd, and please interrupt. I
• 32:44
  Speaker 10: would have loved to visit with you.
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: All right, well, Congressman again, thank you, Congressman John Rose.
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: Everybody on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line, all right, we're
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: going to take a break, and we had some breaking
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: news there. Congressman John Rose becomes the first Republican lawmaker
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: upon Capitol Hill to call for speak for Majority Leader
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: Thoon to stump aside, we will see if other lawmakers
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: are willing to make a similar declaration. We're going to
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: be taking your calls as well. Nine oh one two

  Speaker 5: it there as well. You'll be able to you'll be
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: able to get that information as well. All right, let's
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: go to the phone lines here. Charles in North Carolina
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: WSIIC our great affiliate garls. What's on your mind?
• 34:03
  Speaker 11: So, Todd, there's only one option left to pass the
• 34:07
  Speaker 11: sayback and one option And I called Senator Mike Lee's
• 34:11
  Speaker 11: office this morning. I was able to get through and
• 34:13
  Speaker 11: talk to one of his assistants to see if she
• 34:16
  Speaker 11: could relay what I'm getting ready to tell you to
• 34:19
  Speaker 11: the Senator. But in the Constitution, Article two, section three
• 34:25
  Speaker 11: allows the President to call an emergency session of Congress
• 34:30
  Speaker 11: either one House or both houses. And I think what
• 34:33
  Speaker 11: needs to happen is President Trump needs to call for
• 34:37
  Speaker 11: an emergency station of Congress for the Senate and demand
• 34:42
  Speaker 11: the passage of the Save Act. He needs to get
• 34:45
  Speaker 11: Chuck Schumer and John Thune in the Oval office, just
• 34:48
  Speaker 11: like he did Schumer in Pelosi years ago. And he
• 34:51
  Speaker 11: needs to say not only do I demand you passed
• 34:55
  Speaker 11: the Save Ack, but the American people demand.
• 34:57
  Speaker 12: You passed the Stayback.
• 35:00
  Speaker 11: Over eighty percent support Republicans, Democrats, and independents, And Todd,
• 35:07
  Speaker 11: We've come a long way in ten years. A lot
• 35:09
  Speaker 11: has happened since Donald Trump was first elected twenty sixteen.
• 35:13
  Speaker 11: The Lawfair trying to bankrupt demand throwing him in jail,
• 35:18
  Speaker 11: the stealing of the twenty twenty election, the invasion of
• 35:22
  Speaker 11: twenty million people, two assassination attempts, and we know that
• 35:29
  Speaker 11: the Democrats are trying to spread these illegals across the
• 35:33
  Speaker 11: country to increase their electoral power in the House and Senate.
• 35:39
  Speaker 11: And you know, I feel like Todd, we've gotten a
• 35:42
  Speaker 11: beachhead in twenty twenty four when Trump won. But now
• 35:45
  Speaker 11: we're giving it up. But Trump needs to he needs
• 35:48
  Speaker 11: to invokee that the cost Article two, section three, because
• 35:54
  Speaker 11: if not, we're gonna lose not only lose the midterms,
• 35:59
  Speaker 11: we're gonna lose twenty eight and Republicans will never win again.
• 36:04
  Speaker 11: And there's just no other option right now.
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, what do you think, Well, we're running out
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: of options, and this may be it. I'm anxious to
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: see what the Speaker's coming up with, and the Speaker's
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: pretty enraged over all of this. So I think we're
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: going to see some movement there on a Speaker Johnson's side,
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: which would require this Senate to come back. But I
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: like this idea, and maybe this is because you're right.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: I mean, look, even if they even if they came back,
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: they're not touching the Save Act. John Thune's made that
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: extraordinarily clear to the American people that he doesn't care
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: what the polling data says. Whoever is whoever is funding
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: his retirement accounts, they don't want that to pass. And
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: so's that's what we're what we're dealing with here. So yeah,
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: I like this idea, and you're right under extraordinary circumstances,
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: the President can call for a joint session of con
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: and or you know, either the House or the Senate
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: or both. I would consider doing both, and I would
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: consider doing it very quickly, because we have got to
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: secure our elections. Charles, I don't know about you, and
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: we're ramping up this hour of the show. I don't
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: know about you, but for me, this is the most
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: pressing issue of the day now. I don't want nuclear
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: clouds over any of our American cities. And I'm glad
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: we're taking care of whatever we're taken care of over
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: in Iran. But domestically speaking, this, the Save America Act,
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: is the most important thing our elected leaders should be
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: focused on, and they're not doing it. They're simply not
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: doing it. All right, We got to take a break here,
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: Open line Friday. Nine oh one two six zero five
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: nine two six is our telephone number again, that number,
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: nine oh one two six zero five to nine two six.
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: Hanging tide everybody, hour two of the Big Show on
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: this Friday. We'll be right back.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: common sense conservative commentary from Todd Stars.
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: Samaritan and hello everybody. Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Show.
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: Great to have you with us on this Friday edition
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: of the program. By the way, today is open line Friday,
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: which means you get to talk about whatever you want
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: to talk about today. Write down our telephone number nine
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: oh one two six zero five, nine two six. That's
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: nine oh one two six zero to six. By the way,
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: we just had a terrific meeting with our marketing team,
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: the publisher of my new book. It'll be out in May.
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: It's called The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America, and
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: they are really going big time when it comes to
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: promoting the book and the message of the book. Not
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: only the book is about celebrating what Trump did for America,
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: but also explaining how we can carry the torch into
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: the next generation. And it really is for such a
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: time as this book and I want you to get
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: a pre ordered copy of it, and you can do
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: that at your favorite bookstore. We're encouraging you to get
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: them at Barnes and Noble or Books a Million Amazon
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: to help us so that we have a good idea
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: of pre orders. And the reason why is my last
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: book that came out. I guess it was so successful
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: they ran out of books like the Third Day and
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: books tours around the countries. So we want to make
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: sure that everybody gets a copy of this. And also
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: we have been getting some questions about people ordering ordering
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: the book in bulk. So if you're wanting you know, five, ten,
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: twenty copies or more, we're going to be able to
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: help you with that because a lot of book clubs
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: and churches and political groups are wanting to purchase bulk orders. Now,
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: if that is you, and if you're interested, we want
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: you to give us a call so we can get
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: your information. That number is nine oh one two six
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: zero five nine two six, and the lovely miss Helen
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: will get our get your information again, nine oh one
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: two six zero five nine two six. And that's if
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: you're looking at ordering in bulk, so multiple copies of
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: I think it's like five, five or ten and one up.
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: So we've got special discounts and things of that nature.
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: All right. By the way, before we go to Josh,
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: we posted about the book because speaker Mike Johnson has
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: official endorsed the book, and I want to read what
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: the speaker wrote. And then We've already had people responding
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: to this on social media. This is what Speaker Johnson said,
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: As President Trump leads our nation into its Golden Age,
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: Todd Stearns has delivered a powerful and timely book that
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: challenges us to be that shining city on a hill.
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: Read and share this with friends and family who believe
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: in America and want to help keep our extraordinary republic.
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: And that is coming from our Speaker of the House,
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: and very thankful for Mike Johnson and his kind words
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: about the book. And that has led Dylan to an
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: avalanche of bail. So let's go to the mailbag. This
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: is coming from Jim Todd. You vile little toady. Did
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: you write this before, during, or after you had your
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: nose and his anus? Oh? My, johnsh writing And no
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: one is buying this garbage. Bro Gen x Gen says,
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: I don't buy propaganda. No thanks. Miss Aswall says, this
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: sounds like poop. I think what she meant to say,
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: Dylan was that it smells like poop, because it's not.
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: It doesn't sound like poop. It's the Golden Age that
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: sounds nothing like poop.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: Poop has a sound too, though, I mean, yeah.
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, but that's not what that that you don't
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: get Golden age out of missed it? Yeah, exactly. The
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: real Newtson says that the Golden Age starts with a
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: war and insolvent tet price is spiking everywhere, rising unemployment,
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: isolating from Allied countries, and a president manipulating markets for
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: his own gain. There's many, many more, but what an
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: odd way to start a golden age. Now, whatever gets
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: you up in the morning, there.
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: Neot.
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: Jp Ready, I'm happy to scroll down some of the
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: ones I cannot repeat on air. JP Ready writes, hah
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: ha ha ha ha ha ha hilarious. Well, actually it
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: is a I mean there are parts of the books
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: that are incredibly funny. So there you you know, we
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: ought to put some of these on the back cover tell.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: Them not a bad idea.
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: I mean that might it might really sell a few
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: extra copies.
• 43:26
  Speaker 13: You never know.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: I like the book cover. It looks really snazzy.
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: It that whole like, you know, great, can't it is
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: the roaring twenties. Let's go to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: line say he lo to our good friend Josh Jones, Josh,
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: that wasn't you writing that that it smells like poopos.
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: Thank you for that. I appreciate it, appreciate it. So anyway,
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: So anyway, folks get a copy of the book and
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: you can do that wherever you buy your books. So, Josh,
• 43:59
  Speaker 5: we normally have you on on Thursday or Tuesday. We're
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: double dipping. And it just seems like there is sheer
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: chaos happening right now in Washington, d C. And a
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: lot of people are fired up and angry at at
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: John Thune.
• 44:15
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, you do see it, like particularly on the
• 44:18
  Speaker 12: Hill and the House, you know, since those members are
• 44:21
  Speaker 12: a little bit more free to say what they're what's
• 44:25
  Speaker 12: actually on their minds, given that they don't answer to
• 44:28
  Speaker 12: the leadership in the Senate. Yeah, there's a lot of
• 44:30
  Speaker 12: people of stat of John Suhne currently up on the Hill.
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: I'm concerned here, and we just had Congressman John Rose
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: on he becomes the first lawmaker to say that Thune
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: needs to be replaced. There is a lot of anger
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: among House Republicans that are just enraged, and we're waiting
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: to hear from Mike Johnson to see what they're they're
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: going to do. I contend this is going to be
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: disastrous if we do not get a handle on this
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: before the midterms.
• 45:01
  Speaker 12: I agreed, because I mean, if you look at some
• 45:03
  Speaker 12: of these special elections that have been happening across the country,
• 45:06
  Speaker 12: there's just no enthusiasm really on the Republican side, and
• 45:09
  Speaker 12: part of that lays at the seat of Congress. I mean,
• 45:10
  Speaker 12: there's probably when I blame to you around, but part
• 45:13
  Speaker 12: of that is the fact that Congress isn't you know, trailblazing,
• 45:17
  Speaker 12: so to speak, and who's are getting to flash that
• 45:19
  Speaker 12: ship legislation across the finish line to motivate Republican voters
• 45:23
  Speaker 12: to come onto the bowl.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: On that note, I mean these two races in South Florida,
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: First of all, a lot of people didn't even know
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: there was an election. The governor, even Ron DeSantis, did
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: not put anything out encouraging people to get out and vote.
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: My understanding is he didn't like at least one of
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: the candidates that was running on the Republican side. So again,
• 45:44
  Speaker 5: a lot of people just did not know about it.
• 45:47
  Speaker 5: But still, Josh, I mean, we are looking at now
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: well over a dozen or so of these special elections,
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: every single one the Democrats flip yeah.
• 45:56
  Speaker 12: I mean, this should be a winning sign for Republicans
• 46:00
  Speaker 12: heading into November. And look, I'm on the team. I'm
• 46:02
  Speaker 12: one reprobably comes to do well and I want them
• 46:03
  Speaker 12: to win. But there's no pointular sugar coating it, because
• 46:07
  Speaker 12: when we get to November, if we haven't been honest
• 46:09
  Speaker 12: with ourselves about the reality of the political landscape, we're
• 46:11
  Speaker 12: going to lose. So, look, Democrats have the motivation that
• 46:16
  Speaker 12: come out to the polls right now. I mean, this
• 46:17
  Speaker 12: is a race in South Florida that we should have won.
• 46:20
  Speaker 12: It's the district that Mara a Lago is in and
• 46:23
  Speaker 12: that the President carried by ten plus points last twenty
• 46:27
  Speaker 12: four and then now flash forward and we lose a
• 46:31
  Speaker 12: special election buyer three or four points there. So that's
• 46:34
  Speaker 12: a pretty big swing in swing and if reflects the
• 46:37
  Speaker 12: moves the country, the Repulicans are in a pretty bad spot. Granted,
• 46:41
  Speaker 12: now there's a lot of other factors. Actually said, all
• 46:43
  Speaker 12: of people don't know. The election that's happening is really
• 46:45
  Speaker 12: low turnouts in large the midterm year for the with
• 46:50
  Speaker 12: Republican the power, which means Democrats are going to come
• 46:52
  Speaker 12: out more. So it's look, there's a lot of other
• 46:54
  Speaker 12: factors that you can do an odd topsy on this,
• 46:57
  Speaker 12: but all that comes out to be republic and are
• 47:00
  Speaker 12: showing up to boot.
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: No they're not. I think they're for whatever reason, they're
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: demoralized or whatever. And I get that again. I don't
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: think it's helping here. When you've got the Senate doing
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: something at two three o'clock in the morning, then rushing
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: out of town. You know the problem here is. And
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: Mike Lee did a great job of laying all of
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: this out. He said, the good news out of what
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: happened at two or three o'clock in the morning is that, well,
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: President Trump is paying the TSA agency decided to do that.
• 47:29
  Speaker 5: The current bill the Senate justin over to the House
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: reopens DHS, ICE and border patrol, primarily funded through the
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: oh the one Big Beautiful Bill. The bad is that
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: the Senate goes on a two week recess without passing
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: the Save Act, without passing standalone voter id or funding
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: all of DHS through the normal process. So and the
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: ugly is that Congress, especially the Senate, cannot skate by
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: relying on President Trump to solve all of our problems.
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: Republicans have to justify their majorities by fighting for permanent
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: policy victories, not kicking, not can kicking with unrealistic reconciliation promises.
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: He said, if we do not stand and fight today,
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: we will not inspire Americans in November. What do you
• 48:17
  Speaker 5: think about what Senator Mike Lee has to say.
• 48:20
  Speaker 12: I think you get to nail pretty on the head there. Look,
• 48:23
  Speaker 12: if you aren't giving Republican voters space in your majorities
• 48:26
  Speaker 12: in Congress, what motivation do they have to come out
• 48:29
  Speaker 12: and essentially rehire you this November? If costs is particularly
• 48:33
  Speaker 12: the Senive, but if Congress is just going to set
• 48:35
  Speaker 12: on their hands say, oh, we're going to let the
• 48:37
  Speaker 12: administration or President Trump handle this and you know, do
• 48:40
  Speaker 12: what they can't through administrative avenues. Look, that's all dying
• 48:44
  Speaker 12: and fandy. That's fine for now, But whenever a Democrat
• 48:48
  Speaker 12: administration comes in the town, they're just going to reverse
• 48:51
  Speaker 12: all that at the signing of a pan Whereas if
• 48:53
  Speaker 12: it goes through Congress, there's actual laws figned in kill.
• 48:58
  Speaker 12: I think these more permanent at that. So, look, we
• 49:03
  Speaker 12: are in crunch time. We are in large of twenty
• 49:06
  Speaker 12: twenty six. The midterms are right in front of us.
• 49:09
  Speaker 12: And now, look I get it, there's district work to
• 49:12
  Speaker 12: be done for members of Congress to go back to
• 49:14
  Speaker 12: the respective districts into our states if you're a senator,
• 49:17
  Speaker 12: and work on district issues. But now it's crunch time.
• 49:20
  Speaker 12: We don't have time to go to recess for two
• 49:22
  Speaker 12: weeks to go back to the respective states and not
• 49:25
  Speaker 12: getting anything done whenever. We have all this major legislation tending.
• 49:29
  Speaker 12: So I'm glad Mike Lee's telling the truth of the
• 49:32
  Speaker 12: situation and hopefully more members than the talkius are on
• 49:35
  Speaker 12: that same mindset.
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, well, Josh, we appreciate you weighing in here.
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: I know it's the weekend and it's but look we're
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: it's it's crunch time and we've got to get this.
• 49:47
  Speaker 5: We've got to get this right. So anyway, good to
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: hear from you, my friend.
• 49:51
  Speaker 12: Thanks Dot, I appreciate it.
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: All right, Josh Jones weighing in giving us his intel.
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: By the way, here is speaker Mike Johnson, and I
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: like seeing fiery Mike Johnson. Take a listen.
• 50:02
  Speaker 14: So Hill is willing to fund all of the security
• 50:06
  Speaker 14: and safety of the American people. We cannot believe it's
• 50:08
  Speaker 14: come to that, but it has.
• 50:10
  Speaker 13: The Senate will you put it on the floor.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: We'll have to see.
• 50:12
  Speaker 14: We have to solve the problem, and it's very sad
• 50:15
  Speaker 14: that Democrats are not interested in doing that.
• 50:17
  Speaker 15: That mean that you're not in favor of breaking the
• 50:19
  Speaker 15: DHS funding bill apart just funding TSA, just funding FEMA,
• 50:23
  Speaker 15: having individual votes on him set.
• 50:25
  Speaker 14: We have never been in favor of breaking the bill
• 50:27
  Speaker 14: up wide because it's one of the twelve separate appropriations bills.
• 50:31
  Speaker 14: That is the most basic function of Congress to fund
• 50:33
  Speaker 14: the government, and we did it in a bipartisan by
• 50:36
  Speaker 14: camberon Man. Remember the contents of that bill were decided
• 50:40
  Speaker 14: upon earlier by Democrats until they decided to hold the
• 50:44
  Speaker 14: American people hostage in their long lines at the airports
• 50:47
  Speaker 14: and with the safety of everybody on the line, to
• 50:50
  Speaker 14: make a political point.
• 50:51
  Speaker 13: It is shameful.
• 50:52
  Speaker 14: There is no way for them to defend this to
• 50:54
  Speaker 14: the American people, and breaking it out is a I
• 50:58
  Speaker 14: think it puts an exclamation point on what they've tried
• 51:00
  Speaker 14: to do here.
• 51:01
  Speaker 13: It's shameful.
• 51:02
  Speaker 14: So many people have been through so many hardships because
• 51:05
  Speaker 14: of this nonsense, and what we're concerned about is people
• 51:08
  Speaker 14: may actually be hurt, more people harmed by criminal, illegal
• 51:11
  Speaker 14: aliens that are being protected by the Democrat Party, and
• 51:14
  Speaker 14: we're sick of Wow.
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: You know that big that you could hear impounding the
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: pulpit there the podium. He's really fired up as well
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: as well as he should be. All Right, our telephone
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: number nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: six will follow all of the breaking news as it happens.
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: By the way, have you heard about what happened Dylan
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: with the Nashville Predators.
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately I have.
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they're getting mocked on social media. That's of course.
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: The NHL team, the hockey team and the Predators hosted
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: Predators Pride night, and so they changed the logo to
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: They replaced the team logo with rainbow colors and also
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: a message that a gay pride means the freedom to
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: live authentically and boldly, which ironically is what the transgender
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: terrorist wrote before she shot up the Christian school in Nashville.
• 52:20
  Speaker 5: Have you noticed that predators do love the rainbow flag?
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: I don't clearly, I mean they were embracing it anyway,
• 52:30
  Speaker 5: the Predators, this all happened last night. They hosted a
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: pregame party in Smashville. Well that's all these all these
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: names are just so unfortunate. Now, But anyway, Predators in
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: Smashville they had a glitter bar and everybody was given
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: Predator Pride jerseys to where the national anthem was reported
• 52:52
  Speaker 5: was performed by a group called the Cowgays, which is
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: sort of like broke Back Mountain on ice. And they
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: they're known for like mocking mocking God, and they saying
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: that the cow the Cowgays. Now, let's get real, what
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: is this. What does hockey have to do with homosexuality
• 53:16
  Speaker 5: or what's here? In all, in all seriousness, it has
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: nothing to do with that. What they're trying to do
• 53:21
  Speaker 5: is shove an agenda down the faces of good Christian
• 53:26
  Speaker 5: people in the buckle of the Bible belt, which is Nashville, Tennessee. Now, Dylan,
• 53:32
  Speaker 5: you know me, I am. I don't judge. We just
• 53:36
  Speaker 5: we just share, we talk, but we don't judge. Here
• 53:39
  Speaker 5: it's a judgment free zone, and I don't I don't
• 53:42
  Speaker 5: tell you how to wield your hockey stick or where
• 53:45
  Speaker 5: to put your puck. That's that is not my job.
• 53:48
  Speaker 5: It's a free country. But I really do want to
• 53:51
  Speaker 5: meet the marketing geniuses who came up with gay predators night.
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure you do want to meet them?
• 53:59
  Speaker 5: No, maybe in a public setting, lots of light, some distance,
• 54:07
  Speaker 5: maybe a hockey hockey stick between us, you know, just
• 54:11
  Speaker 5: say it. All right, got it, take a break, We'll
• 54:13
  Speaker 5: be right back.
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: This segment of the program brought to you by our
• 54:23
  Speaker 5: friends at Newsmax. A new study finding seventy percent of
• 54:27
  Speaker 5: Americans are not getting the full benefits that they deserve
• 54:30
  Speaker 5: from Social Security. But there is a way that you
• 54:34
  Speaker 5: can increase your Social Security benefits by as much as
• 54:38
  Speaker 5: one hundred and eighty eight thousand dollars over a lifetime.
• 54:42
  Speaker 5: Social Security expert Michael Allen has written five key strategies
• 54:47
  Speaker 5: to increase your benefits, and it's in a free special
• 54:50
  Speaker 5: report courtesy of our friends at Newsmax. All you have
• 54:54
  Speaker 5: to do is pick up the phone and call. And
• 54:57
  Speaker 5: it doesn't matter if you're already getting benefits or you
• 54:59
  Speaker 5: will soon. You need this social Security report. Give us
• 55:04
  Speaker 5: a call eight hundred ninety six ninety that's eight hundred
• 55:09
  Speaker 5: nine ninety six ninety, and we will text you the
• 55:13
  Speaker 5: information right away. Of course, text and data rates do apply.
• 55:19
  Speaker 5: That's eight hundred ninety six ninety to get that special report.
• 55:24
  Speaker 5: All right, coming up, our good buddy Joe Messina from California,
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: will drop by huge riots breaking out in places like
• 55:33
  Speaker 5: Cincinnati and Chicago and even in Philadelphia, where these utes
• 55:39
  Speaker 5: are out there and they're causing mayhem, and these kids
• 55:44
  Speaker 5: they do not respect law enforcement at all. By the way,
• 55:49
  Speaker 5: the mayor of Memphis and the police chief are are.
• 55:54
  Speaker 5: They're flummixed because you've got a lot of kids that
• 55:57
  Speaker 5: are running around causing mayhem, shooting up people on Beal
• 56:02
  Speaker 5: Street and other downtown locations, and there's a curfew on
• 56:06
  Speaker 5: the books, and the mayor can't figure out how to
• 56:09
  Speaker 5: enforce the curfew. And I have a few thoughts about that.
• 56:13
  Speaker 5: Number one, arrest the utes. Number two, arrest the parents,
• 56:20
  Speaker 5: and then number three give the parents a hickory switch
• 56:23
  Speaker 5: so they can beat the eleven daylights and those demons
• 56:26
  Speaker 5: out of the kids. Demon time, ladies, and gentlemen, Demon time.
• 56:31
  Speaker 5: All right, gotta take a break, We'll be right back
• 56:52
  Speaker 5: all right. Open day at baseball parks around the nation.
• 56:57
  Speaker 5: And I have to tell you the celebration is incredibly
• 57:01
  Speaker 5: patriotic and really some of the finest I've seen. However,
• 57:06
  Speaker 5: in the aftermath of those games, you've got all you
• 57:09
  Speaker 5: know what breaking loose. Let me just say this in Memphis,
• 57:12
  Speaker 5: and we'll start with Memphis and then Cincinnati, Chicago. But
• 57:16
  Speaker 5: in Memphis, Tennessee, you have its spring break and all
• 57:20
  Speaker 5: of these kids are out and about causing all sorts
• 57:22
  Speaker 5: of mayhem on the streets of Memphis. I mean we're
• 57:27
  Speaker 5: talking like gangs of fifty to two hundred kids and
• 57:30
  Speaker 5: they're terrorizing people. There have been three shootings in the
• 57:34
  Speaker 5: downtown area, one at the sixty million dollar Park alongside
• 57:39
  Speaker 5: the Mississippi River, two more on Beale Street. And the
• 57:43
  Speaker 5: problem is there's a curfew. Well, first of all, we
• 57:46
  Speaker 5: got a curfew, but the problem is the curfew for
• 57:49
  Speaker 5: the utes of America is not being enforced here in Memphis.
• 57:53
  Speaker 5: So the mayor and the police chief they were talking
• 57:58
  Speaker 5: about this and they don't know what to do. They
• 58:01
  Speaker 5: don't have a clue. So here's my thought on this.
• 58:05
  Speaker 5: If you are the police chief of an American city
• 58:08
  Speaker 5: and you don't know how to enforce a law that
• 58:11
  Speaker 5: is on the books, then you need a new job.
• 58:14
  Speaker 5: And we would need we need a new police chief.
• 58:17
  Speaker 5: Now they're now saying they don't know where to put
• 58:20
  Speaker 5: all these kids. I have a thought, how about this
• 58:24
  Speaker 5: jail and then go and pick up mommy and daddy
• 58:28
  Speaker 5: and throw them in jail. Because ultimately it's the parent's
• 58:33
  Speaker 5: responsibility to enforce a curfew and not city leaders.
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 58:39
  Speaker 5: But if mom and dad aren't going to do their jobs, well,
• 58:41
  Speaker 5: law enforcement needs to intervene, and you need to make
• 58:44
  Speaker 5: it as painful as possible so that that will be
• 58:46
  Speaker 5: the last time a kid breaks curfew. Well, I want
• 58:49
  Speaker 5: to bring into the conversation our good friend. He is
• 58:52
  Speaker 5: a nationally syndicated talk radio host. Our good buddy from California,
• 58:56
  Speaker 5: Joe Messina. Joe, hope you're doing well today? Does that
• 58:59
  Speaker 5: make sense to you? I mean, if you're you know,
• 59:02
  Speaker 5: they don't know what to do. How about just enforcing
• 59:05
  Speaker 5: the law.
• 59:07
  Speaker 15: Just you know what, found up a couple of old
• 59:09
  Speaker 15: school dads, and the dads can tell them exactly what
• 59:12
  Speaker 15: to do and how to make things happen. I mean,
• 59:14
  Speaker 15: you you hit the nail on the head. I'm the
• 59:16
  Speaker 15: chief of police. I have no idea how to how
• 59:19
  Speaker 15: to enforce the curfew. You know, get the boys together,
• 59:22
  Speaker 15: let's round them up and to your point, get them.
• 59:25
  Speaker 15: You know, I would lock them in a school somewhere
• 59:27
  Speaker 15: for the moment, you know, let them maybe maybe they
• 59:29
  Speaker 15: can learn something. I don't know, but I got to
• 59:32
  Speaker 15: tell you it's we're seeing it happen all across the country.
• 59:35
  Speaker 15: Like you say, there's there is no law in order
• 59:38
  Speaker 15: because these police chiefs are being told to stand down
• 59:41
  Speaker 15: by the city councils. I don't know what it's like there,
• 59:43
  Speaker 15: but I don't Here in La the city council pretty
• 59:46
  Speaker 15: much in the mayor run the police chief and the
• 59:49
  Speaker 15: police department, and they have told them to stand down
• 59:52
  Speaker 15: on several occasions. But they should have been acting in
• 59:55
  Speaker 15: getting these young kids off the street and out of
• 59:57
  Speaker 15: the alleyways.
• 59:59
  Speaker 5: You know, Joe, We've seen it here in Memphis, and
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 5: it's so bad. It's just awful. We saw it last
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 5: night in Cincinnati where hundreds of kids were rioting after
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 5: the baseball game and they literally they stormed a line
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 5: of police officers. These kids have absolutely zero fear of
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 5: law enforcement.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 15: Why should they have they go in Even if they
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 15: get picked up, they're out with no bail. In most
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 15: major cities across the country, the charges are usually dropped
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 15: against them. I don't know, you know, on my show,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 15: I kind of follow sometimes when they have mass arrests
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 15: and from these oh these peaceful protests, so to speak.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: But they let most of them.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 15: Out again with no charges against them. So why be
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 15: worried about it? And you and I both know this
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 15: isn't grassroots, This isn't people scraping to get a dollars
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 15: to get a magic marker on a white sign. This
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 15: is professionally done. People are paying for this, they're paying
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 15: to keep them on to jail. And you're right about
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 15: the lack of respect for authority. I think you're right
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 15: out with that, But you also have a generation just
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 15: before them that also have a lack of respect for authority.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 5: Well, you're not kidding, and it's just insane. The same
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 5: thing happened in Chicago, and now you've got a lot
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 5: of businesses, and the same thing happened in Cincinnati. A
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 5: lot of these businesses just had to shut down. They can't,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 5: you know, stay in business. I don't. On Beal Street,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 5: a couple of the popular bars and music clubs had
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 5: to close because these kids who are not even sopposed
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 5: to be on places like Beal Street, you know, are
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 5: just rampaging and the cops are being told to stand down.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 5: I think that's ultimately the problem is these kids need
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 5: their butts in jail.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 15: Yeah, and you're right about the curfew. I mean, we look,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 15: we had an issue in my little small town of
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 15: three hundred thousand where we had kids starting to get
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 15: out of control in some of the little strip malls
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 15: who what have you, and even in the major mall here,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 15: and they've always had a curfew in this town. The
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 15: police chief here finally said, which is a part of
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 15: the sheriff's department, said we've had enough, We're done. We're
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 15: going to enforce the curfew. Once they enforced the curfew
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 15: for about two weeks, all of a sudden, he stopped
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 15: having these these runs on these strip malls and in
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 15: the regular mall and a few other places. Amazing how
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 15: you throw some of these kids in jail, or even
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 15: simply have mom and dad have to come down and
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 15: pick them up from the jail. How quickly this starts
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 15: to subside. Now I realized it's a lot bigger in
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 15: LA and Philadelphia places like that, But bring it. You
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 15: know what, they have the National Guard available to them.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 15: I'm sure there's National Guard bases all around the place.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 15: We can round them up and bring them to as well.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 15: I think we need to get drastic. I really do.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 5: Remember what Joe R. Remember Sheriff Joe Arpio out in
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 5: uh was it Maricopa, Maracopa County. What did he do?
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 5: He put all he put them all in tents. They
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 5: had like a massive tent city. Maybe we do that
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 5: in the dead.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 15: He put him in attendant to dead them blooney sandwiches,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 15: and he basically said that the judges who kept calling
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 15: him out was if it's good enough for our soldiers,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 15: it's good enough for criminals.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: What is it?
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 5: Somebody said the bolooney, sir, there's some green in my bolooney.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 5: He goes, that's healthy. It's it's plant plant faith.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 15: Oh and again surplus. I heard he had surplus clothing,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 15: surplus underwear that he gave these guys and just said, look,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 15: Alicia covered, get over it.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 5: That's Joe Messina joining us on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 5: And of course you can actually watch Joe live on
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 5: our social media feeds on YouTube, Facebook and rumble. Joe,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 5: you got a nice little set there. Looking good on
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 5: you look good on the TV?
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I clean up well, don't I. Filters are great.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 5: Yes, indeed they are. Uh, Joe, real quick, I want
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 5: to share some breaking news out of Washington, d C.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 5: If that's okay.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 4: Breaking news now on the Todd Stern Show.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 5: So, House Republicans are having a conference call. This is
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 5: coming from Olivia Beever's over at the Wall Street Journal.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 5: She's their congressional reporter. And the congresswoman Anne Wagner actually asked,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 5: has the Senate agreed to come back? And Speaker Johnson said,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 5: and this is the shocker here, the Senate went dark
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 5: and did not communicate with us, and Joe's it's really
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 5: infuriating to know that the Senate, they knew exactly what
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 5: they were doing at two o'clock this morning, they wanted
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 5: to get out of dodge. And the fact they're not
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 5: even communicating with the Speaker of the House. What does
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 5: that tell you.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not shocked.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 15: I know you're not either. And you know I've been
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 15: railing on our own people for a long time saying, look,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 15: you guys need to get tough. You need to do
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 15: what you know the Democrats are going to do. I'm tired.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 15: You know a joke tod that we played by the
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 15: markets of Queensberry rules and they're playing guerrilla warfare. We're
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 15: gonna keep.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: Losing these battles.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 15: So I think what it tells me is the sentence
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 15: is not going to push this thing forward. They're hoping
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 15: for more pain. But the numbers that I'm seeing the
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 15: Democrats are not looking good. And you know, Schumer came
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 15: out and talking about having ice at the airports and
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 15: how bad it was gonna be. You know, it's gonna
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 15: get worse. And ge isn't it amazing that ice got
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 15: there and all of a sudden the lines thinned out,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 15: things got moving along. They've been wrung everywhere, and from
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 15: what I'm seeing is the Democrats. I hope this plays
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 15: out in the election cycle, but the Democrats are taking
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 15: a beating over.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 5: This real, real quick. I'm curious about California. We were
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 5: looking at some polling data. What the the latest polling
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 5: shows you could have two Republicans in that big jungle primary.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 5: Is that the case or are you starting to feel
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 5: any kind of momentum?
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 15: I am, but you know, when when you see that
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 15: Swallwell is moving up the numbers really quick. Uh, it's
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 15: gonna make it's gonna make you scratch your head. Are
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 15: people really paying attention? But yeah, ultimately, I don't think
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 15: we're gonna get the big landslide in the primary, but
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 15: I think you're gonna end up with the two Republicans.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 15: Katie Porter is not that far behind the uh uh
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 15: when I looked the other day, wasn't that far behind
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 15: the the the second Republican. So I hope it stays
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 15: that way. And I can't believe anybody would vote for her.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 13: I just I just can't understand.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 5: What was the deal. You guys said there was a
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 5: debate a couple of days ago, but uh, there weren't
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 5: any minority candidates, so they cancel It was a usc
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 5: they canceled the debate.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: Well you know, uh was it via Rega?
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 15: I call him via Reggo because you can't figure out
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 15: what his last name is. But you had the the
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 15: Democrat Uh contenders were there, and they were saying, look,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 15: there's nobody of color, how can you do that? Well,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 15: they used what they used for criteria to get in.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 15: None of those people met so I had nothing to
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 15: do with color whatsoever, But they made it about color
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 15: and then when it got canceled, they came out and said, look,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 15: we won. We we you know, we took a strike
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 15: at equity equality and we won. No, you didn't win.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 15: You made a false story. You sold to the people
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 15: who were totally afraid of you, and and you really
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 15: you blew an opportunity for people in California to hear
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 15: what these candidates have to say.

• 1:08:35
  Speaker 5: who scored the winning shot that gave them the big
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 5: win over Wisconsin. He was on the NEWSMAC show. Wow,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 5: great guy.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 3: Did you ask him about his own brackets?
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 5: You know, I wasn't sure they're allowed to do Brandt
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 5: you know, but are you ready for this? Forty there's
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 5: forty million brackets. There's only one perfect bracket left.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I bet after yesterday's game, they're even games,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 3: they're even worse.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 5: It's a kid, too, it's like an eighth grader, I believe.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 5: We'll talk to Parker Bay about this. A lot of
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 5: people are just shocked.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean, the lower seeds are winning way
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 3: more than the higher seeds.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 5: It's you know, it's that nil And just because you
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 5: have a lot of nil money doesn't mean you got
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 5: a team.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 15: Hmm.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 3: That's a good point.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 5: You can't buy a team. There you go, that's a
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 5: mentality commission.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 5: Put me in charge. I should have been at the
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 5: President's round table.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: Should have? You should have? Why didn't he think about that?
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 5: Coach Saban. Let me handle it from here. I got
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 5: I got your cover, all right. Let's go to the
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 5: phone lines nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 5: two six. Todd is on the line. Hey Todd, what's
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 5: going on?
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 16: Hey Todd?
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 12: How you doing that?
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 15: Man?
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 17: We come up around the same time. And I can
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 17: tell you this out here is common sense, man. And
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 17: I was telling you your ID CALLO there. Walmart had
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 17: signs in Walmart, even in post Office the missing children
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 17: or whatever.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 18: All these airports.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 17: Need to put these signs of these democrats that keep
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 17: the funding everything that puts people in harm's away and
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 17: put the pictures into all these these kids that's been
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 17: terrorized by all these illegal aliens up there, makes them
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 17: have to answer questions, hard questions for this. I think
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 17: if the win win.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 18: If we just will just push it a little bit.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 17: What's your thoughts on that?
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 5: I agree wholeheartedly, wholeheartedly. We have the moral high ground here.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 5: And I'll give you an example. This horrible story out
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 5: of Chicago Loyalta University where this young girl was shot
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 5: in the head by an illegal and she was a
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 5: freshman at Loyola University. The mayor of Chicago refuses to apologize,
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 5: and you had an elected leader, one of the one
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 5: of the aldermen there. She actually suggested that the victim
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 5: was at fault because you may have startled the killer.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 5: I'm I think we have to start holding these elected
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 5: leaders accountable for what they're saying and what they're not doing.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 10: Why can't we do that.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 17: You've got this opportunity to do it. We run federal buildings,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 17: evidence that you know, the president has the authority to
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 17: put their faces, the pictures up there with already public notice.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 17: I say, put their name and why they voted and
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 17: just pulled the seat to the fire. That's got to
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 17: be done. Make them pay a heavy price.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I it's it's a great point you're you're raising.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 5: I just don't know if the Republicans have the courage.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: To do that.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 5: And I'll give you an example. And I think this
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 5: is part of the whole DNA of being a Republican,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 5: because I believe that we are. We've got to play
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 5: the game that's been presented before us and the Democrats
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 5: have created the playing field and it's got to be
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 5: smash mouth, and we've got to be We've got to
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 5: be smash mouth right back at them. I'll never forget.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 5: I was it was election day and they had these groups.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 5: You know, they have all the political parties outside the
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 5: election polling place, and everybody's got their banners, and uh,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 5: the Democrats. The Democrats were taunting the Republicans. I just
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 5: happened to be there, and so I said, I'm looking
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 5: around and everybody's like just all timid on the Republican side,
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 5: and I'm like, what the heck? So I started I
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 5: started drawing back at the Democrats. Todd. Somebody came over
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 5: to me, one of the Republicans, and they said, Todd,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 5: we we.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: Don't do that.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 5: We're Republicans. We we take the high ground. I'm like, okay, loser,
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 5: we got to start being tough. We've got to.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 17: Yeah, Russe Limbaugh right now, I promise you, Russe Limbaugh,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 17: he was living today and you picked up the Mantelman
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 17: big time rush with the hammer and the Democrats right now,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 17: and he'd have a ten point plan to bust her
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 17: him ends. And I just wish we could just focus
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 17: more on that and put it to them.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 5: That's it. I want, you know what they need to
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 5: be dragging the TSA agents into, you know, into the
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 5: hearings and putting them directly in front of the Democrats
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 5: and saying, this person lost their home because you're not
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 5: paying you know, you're not letting them get a paycheck.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 5: Put it right in their faces. We have the high ground,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 5: we've got the stories, we've allegedly we're in charge right
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 5: now in Washington, d C. So we should be taking
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 5: full advantage of that, but we're not. But Todd, I
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 5: got to run. But thank you for calling in today.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 5: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six, Dylan,
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 5: do we have this audio I just sent you. All right,
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 5: we're you're going to be hearing from Brie Woodson. She
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 5: is running for Congress in Georgia and she had a
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 5: meltdown in Washington, d C. Because there's a banner honoring
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 5: Charlie Kirk and she says that she's more deserving of
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 5: a banner than Charlie Kirk is because she has a
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 5: college degree. She also says that a Charlie Kirk banner
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 5: is representative of white supremacy. You can't make this up.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 5: Let's listen, DC.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 19: This is the Department of Education. Charlie Kirk has a
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 19: banner at the Department of Education. Mind you, I have
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 19: eight letters behind my last name. Charlie Kirk never earned
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 19: a postgraduate degree of any kind. I have a couple,
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 19: but he's on the Department of Education. This is white
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 19: supremacist propaganda.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 5: Welcome to America, all right, Well, in fairness, this is
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 5: Bree Woodson running for Congress in Georgia, a Democrat. We
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 5: did some research and she does have eight letters after
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 5: her name. B U T T H O L E.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 5: We'll be right back to everybody.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 5: That's this American. Todd starts, well, Hello, everybody, Welcome to
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 5: the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Great to have you with us.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 5: Our telephone number on this open line Friday, nine oh
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 5: one two six zero five nine two six. That's nine
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 5: oh one two six zero five nine two six. Want
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 5: to go right away to the Patriot Mobile news maker line.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 5: Always a pleasure to have our good buddy Parker May
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 5: joining us. Parker is the sports director at KWAM Radio
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 5: in Memphis, Tennessee. Also, he is a part of the
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 5: basketball program the men's basketball program at Sanford University Parker.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 5: I hope you're doing well.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 13: Today, hey Ton, thanks for having me on.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 5: So this is interesting NBC News. This is the headline.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 5: Still one perfect women's March Madness bracket going into the
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 5: sweet sixteen, and it's an eighth grader. This is the
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 5: it's the funniest story. But a lot of people their
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 5: brackets have been busted all over all over the country.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 13: Yeah, it's really impressive, and it's it's more common on
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 13: the women's I'd have perfect brackets last a little bit longer,
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 13: less upsets, but still forty eight for forty eight, very impressive.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 5: Otto Shellhammer, fourteen years old from Pennsylvania, an eighth grader,
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 5: has accurately predicted every game through the first forty eight
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 5: of the women's tournament, calling it a mix of guessing
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 5: and luck. But that's pretty brilliant. No perfect bracket has
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 5: ever been verified in the history of the NCAA men's tournament.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 5: I didn't realize that.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I believe the closest someone got it was about
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 13: eight years ago. Someone got it's about halfway through the
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 13: Sweet sixteen and with a perfect bracket, and then this year,
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 13: no perfect brackets are into the sweet sixteen, but an
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 13: unbelievable bracket. That kid has forty eight for.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 5: Forty eight, Dylan, how are you doing how with the brackets?
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 5: You want to talk to us about it?
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 3: No, I don't want to talk about it, Todd. It's
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 3: so sad. Actually it's it could be worse. Yesterday actually
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: messed me up because I had both Nebraska and Illinois
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 3: moving on and both those teams lost, So thankfully I
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 3: don't have either of them in my final two. I
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 3: had them in the final four, one of those teams.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 3: But you know, I'm like an eighty nine percent correct
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 5: Overall, Parker, how are your Did you do the brakets
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 5: this year? I know you're a busy guy, but did
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 5: you have time to do the brackets?
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 7: I did.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 13: I made a couple, but they kind of all had
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 13: the same similar outcome. I had an Arizona over Duke
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 13: in the National Championship, so that part is looking good.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 13: The Houston loss last night to Illinois really hurt me.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 13: They were my final four, but I wasn't high on Florida.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 13: They went out early. I'm very surprised that I was
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 13: taking a run to the lead, eight out of a
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 13: nine seed. But it's definitely been chaos so far.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 5: Guys, guess who's guess whose brackets still still has hope?
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 3: No, No, yours does not count.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 5: No, it does.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 13: I take one to night for the volunteers.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they're what are they're going at? Is Iowa State?
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 5: We got to give jets. We should have got Jeff
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 5: Steinel the line from KXXL, We're going all the way, baby.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 3: You're losing, go big Orange. That's a late game.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 5: It is a lake ami. Oh man, that's like my
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 5: best time. Yeah, oh my gosh, Barker any surprises so
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 5: far in the in the tournament.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 13: I kind of highlight the Big ten. They've done a
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 13: really impressive job. They had a lot of teams making
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 13: it into the field of sixty four, but they've been
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 13: pressed into the sweet sixteen. They had six of the
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 13: sixteen so far, including now with Iowa as a nine
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 13: seed making it now into the Elite eight, led by
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 13: their star guard Bennett Stetz, and they're a really impressive story.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 13: Their head coach, Ben McCollum, was at a Division two
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 13: just two years ago, was that Drake last year and
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 13: has now made to jump to the Big Ten and
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 13: has his team in the Elite eight.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 5: Wow, that's great.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 5: One of the things that gets me, guys, I was
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 5: trying to call a ESPN, you know, their website to
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 5: check out the men's what's happening in the men's They
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 5: always had the win men on the front page. Now
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 5: you actually have to search for the men's teams.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 3: They want you to watch women's basketball so bad.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 5: That's not Yeah, that's not working.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 13: I'm just Uh, you've seen the viewership numbers so far,
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 13: and it's not entirely working so far.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 5: No, I don't think so at all at all. Uh, Parker,
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 5: we are you know again looking at the NI I
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 5: just find this so fascinating. But the NIL money and
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 5: you know a lot of the teams that had millions
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 5: and millions of dollars to spend, they're not advancing as
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 5: far as a lot of people thought they would in
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 5: the tournament. What do you make of that?
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I think it is the real balance of some
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 13: teams with the biggest NIL budge, it's not advancing as
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 13: far as they probably should. But also you've seen the
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 13: lack of men majors or true Cinderellas has kind of
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 13: gone away to the NIL era, and I guess you
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 13: could say our loan Cinderella from this year was a
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 13: team from the SEC, which doesn't make a ton of
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 13: sense in Texas and eleven seed. But you do mention
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 13: teams with big INIL budgets losing early, especially Kentucky. They
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 13: probably had one of the biggest NIL budgets in the country.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 13: Their roster was evaluated at about twenty two million dollars,
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 13: losing in the second round of Iowa State by nineteen points.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 13: So we've seen top teams fall early and it's a
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 13: real surprise. But it comes down to roster construction. You
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 13: can have all the money in the world, but can
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 13: you have the right pieces to make a great puzzle?
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 5: You know? Oh, that's a that's a great way to
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 5: describe it. And again, I think when you when you
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 5: look at basketball, especially, it is a team sport, and
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 5: I think with the NIL it really placed less emphasis
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 5: on team and more so on the individual players. And
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 5: I know we've seen that, you know in Memphis, which
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 5: was one of the great storied basketball programs of all time,
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 5: which is kind of following on hard times lately, and
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 5: I think that may be one of the reasons. Why
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 5: what say you?
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 13: Yeah, it's a really tough cast now for head coach
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 13: Benny Hardway heading into what it will be his ninth
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 13: season next year. He is confirmed to be the head
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 13: coach next year, and they're making steps towards progress in
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 13: the NIL era. They are in talks of hiring a
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 13: general manager to help with NIL and roster construction. And
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 13: that's what we've seen a lot of bigger teams do
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 13: Auburn recently and just hiring a new one yesterday as well.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 13: General manager. It helps take the stress of what NIL
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 13: is this player gonna get versus that player. It gets
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 13: that stress away from the head coach and that general
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 13: manager can kind of handle that area and the head
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 13: coach can kind of go back to just recruiting and
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 13: figuring out what players he wants in this program.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 5: So let's see if Tennessee wins tonight, pardon me, when
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 5: Tennessee wins tonight, they could I mean, if we're looking
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 5: at a possible opposite, you think Alabama's got any shot
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 5: over Michigan.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 13: I mean, that would be an unbelievable story. If you
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 13: get Alabama and Tennessee in the Elite eight. But I
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 13: actually have both of them losing tonight. But I know
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 13: the social media in the entire Southeastern Conference.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, waitstad wait.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 13: Watching a Tennessee Alabama leader.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, hold on, you've got my wan to see
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 5: volunteers losing tonight, Parker May.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 13: I didn't want to say it, but I do. This
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 13: is gonna be a very tough matchup. But it's gonna
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 13: be a great game. I think it's gonna be really
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 13: defensive game. It might be one of those like the
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 13: first of sixty five points wins it.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 3: Are.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 5: There's no saving face now, my friends, no saving face.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 5: This is is not I feel.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 13: It's for Tennessee making it to the sweet sixteen.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 5: I feel a great sense of betrayal.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 3: Dylan, you shouldn't. Actually I didn't even have them in
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 3: the sweet sixteen, so I don't. I don't know how
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 3: you're doing this, but you know, I guess you believe
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 3: in the Orange.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 5: You both are dead to me. That's all I'm gonna say.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 5: All Right, well, guys, another great weekend of basketball, and
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 5: we'll see how it's all all all plays out. I'm excited, though,
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 5: the championship in Indianapolis, and it's always a great basketball
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 5: atmosphere there in uh in Indiana.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 13: Absolutely should be a great final four. We will have
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 13: the field set on Monday.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 5: All right, guys, Well we'll see and go big Orange
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 5: Parker may always good hearing from you and seeing you. Well,
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 5: we've got to leave it there, and we do need
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 5: to take a break here. Nine oh one two six
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 5: zero five, nine two six. That's nine oh one two
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 5: six zero five, nine two six. This is the Todd
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 5: Sterns Show.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 5: We caught up with our good friend Pastor Alan Jackson
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 5: at n RB in Nashville and wanted to We touched
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 5: on a lot of different issues. Let's take a listen
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 5: to that conversation. Well, one of the busiest men here
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 5: at National Religious Broadcasters Convention is our good friend Pastor
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 5: Alan Jackson, who has a brand new book out by
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 5: the way, and we'll be talking more about that in
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 5: just a moment. Pastor Jackson, great to see you in person,
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 5: and welcome to NRB.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Todd.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 20: It's always good to be with you.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 5: You know, one of the things I really admire about
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 5: about your ministries, You're not afraid to just jump in
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 5: there talk about the big culture issues of the day.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 5: You know, a lot of pastors just aren't doing that anymore.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 20: Yeah, I think it's unfortunate we have that real and
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 20: I understand why we reluctant, But I think we're either
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 20: going to shape culture, we're going to be shaped by it.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 20: And I think the church's assignment is to be culture shapers.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: So here we go.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 5: Isn't that interesting because when you, I mean, look at
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 5: American history, it's very clear that pastors played a very
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 5: important role in speaking truth to the culture, being that
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 5: salt and that light. And it seems like these days
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 5: a lot of pastors are on it. Maybe I don't know,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 5: maybe a sodium free diet.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 20: Well, I think the church has to me it's similar
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 20: to our immune system, you know, it's really vital to
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 20: the well being of the organism of our culture. And
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 20: we have to have the courage to take on those
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 20: things that challenge our fundamental belief system and if we will,
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 20: God will meet us in those places.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 5: So when you were starting out in ministry, did you
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 5: ever imagine all of all of this?
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 20: No, you know, when I came to serve the congregation
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 20: where I am now we had a tent and fewer
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 20: than thirty people, and you know, the media wasn't the conversation.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 20: Media for me was if the overhead projector would work.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: So it's a different day.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 5: What would be I say, the secret sauce? What is
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 5: it about the ministry that you've seen this phenomenal growth,
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 5: the influence in the culture and here in Middle Tennessee.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a variety of things. I think one. I
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: realized pretty early that I was the one that had
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: to change.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 20: That if I could keep growing and I could keep learning,
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 20: then God could keep expanding the opportunities. And then the
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 20: community where we are has grown dramatically, So an influx
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 20: of people has helped a great deal. And then God,
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 20: God's the only one that changes lives. You know, at
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 20: the end of the day, I'm just a dancing monkey.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 20: It takes God to change a life.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 5: So isn't it amazing?
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 3: Though?
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 5: When you look at where we are now? You have
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 5: a president of the White House, and it's I find it.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 5: I don't know. God uses some of the most unusual
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 5: people to accomplish what he wants to accomplish, and I
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 5: really have to believe President Trump is one of those people.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 20: Why don't think there's any question that President Trump and
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 20: his whole administration, they have had more courage for advocating
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 20: for issues around a biblical worldview, tragically than most of
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 20: our pulpits. They've been willing to define marriage in terms
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 20: of a biblical worldview, family in terms of a biblical worldview.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 20: They've pushed aside things that were encroaching on our freedoms
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 20: and liberties. I'm most grateful for them. So God's using
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 20: God works through unlikely vessels. That's how we got jobs.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 5: It's exactly. It's a great point, and especially when you
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 5: look at the president again, he's not a preacher by
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 5: any stretch of the imagination, and yet he's been able
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 5: to hone in on those issues that I think are
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 5: important to the culture and are important to people of faith.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 20: Well, and you know, I talk to people of faith
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 20: all the time. They'll say to me, you know President
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 20: Trump is crass. Then I would yes, But he's making
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 20: godly decisions.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm not.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 20: Endorsing his book or but I am very grateful for
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 20: his leadership. You know, a couple of weeks ago, I
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 20: finished a service and a couple came up to in
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 20: the church. They're from Venezuela, and there were tears running
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 20: down their faces.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: It was the weekend.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 20: Maduro was removed and they said would you would you
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 20: pray for a friend of ours?
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: I left. They had somebody with him and I said sure.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 2: They held up their phone.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 20: It was a pastor in Venezuela and he was weeping
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 20: and he said, Pastor Allen, will you tell the people
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 20: of America thank you. You have changed our future this weekend.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 20: And so President Trump and his team are making a
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 20: difference on the globe.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: I pray for him on a daily basis.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 5: When when you look at at what's happening some of
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 5: the big, the big issues of the day. We're coming
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 5: up on America two fifty the President's calling the nation
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 5: to prayer. How important are those declarations coming from the
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 5: White House to people of faith?
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 20: Well, I think we have to put it in contrast
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 20: to what we've had previously, where there was this consistent
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 20: encroachment on our religious liberties and freedoms and freedoms of speech.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 20: And President Trump has the stand he's taken. He's given
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 20: us a freedom to do the things we're doing and
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 20: to speak the truth into our culture. And so it's
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 20: just a remarkable opportunites harvest season, and I think we
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 20: better have the courage to go forward.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 5: I want to talk about your new book, Lead with Faith.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 5: You know a lot of folks think, well, wait a second,
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 5: that's the job of the preacher to talk about religious things.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm a businessman, I'm a teacher, but that's
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 5: not the focus here, and that's not the message of
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 5: the book.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: No, tell you got it.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 20: Exactly what I realized in the congregation was I'm surrounded
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 20: by these people who are often world class leaders in business,
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 20: in the corporate setting, and the hobbies of their choice
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 20: and homes in so many ways, but there's a great
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 20: reluctance to lead with their faith. If you ask them
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 20: to pray or to they begin to defer.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: And that's not acceptable.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 20: We have to take our faith into the corporate boardroom
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 20: and into academy and all of those places, not to
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 20: preach sermons, but to take our biblical worldview and lead
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 20: with our faith.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: If we'll do that, we'll change our world.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 5: But how do you do that, especially when so many
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 5: people now are being told, oh, you don't want to
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 5: be offensive to people, you don't want to say something
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 5: that might cause them the offense. And I think a
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 5: lot of times Christians just back off, you know that
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 5: they shy away from sharing their faces.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: We have to change. Jesus was offensive on multiplications.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 20: The disciples would come to Jesus and said, did you
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 20: know you offended your audience? Or the people he's speaking
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 20: to would say, did you realize you've just insulted us?
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 20: Jesus said, I didn't come to bring peace. I came
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 20: to bring division. And the church is accepted the wrong message.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 20: Jesus and John seventeen prayed for unity amongst the believers,
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 20: but there should be a friction point between ourselves and
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 20: the ungodly because the truth is uncomfortable. You go to
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 20: the doctor and he gives you a diagnosis and it's
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 20: not what you want to hear. That's a real uncomfortable moment.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: But if all he.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 20: Does is say things to make you happy, he's a
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 20: quack and it's malpracticed. And the Church has been committing
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 20: malpractice for too long.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 5: My doctor told me to ease up on the doctor Pepper.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 5: It was not a pleasant conversation fast, I'm telling you.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 5: But again it's no I mean, it makes perfect sense
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 5: what you're saying, because so many times we hear people
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 5: and they say, no, you've got to back off. But
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 5: you're saying, we've got to stand firm in the pave
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 5: and speak, you know, speak truth, but do it in
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 5: a loving way.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 20: Well, we don't have to be obnoxious or angry, and
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 20: we certainly don't need to be violent, but we have
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 20: to have the courage to tell the truth.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: When we withdrew from those settings. Another world. You stepped
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: into those places.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 20: There was pro DEI or lgbt Q two plus I,
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 20: whatever the latest version of that.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: Is another view world.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 20: You stepped into that, and I'm ashamed that we ever retreated.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: So now we're gonna have to do the hard work to.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 20: Walking back into academia and corporate boardrooms and the public
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 20: square and all those places.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 5: Isn't that interesting though? That's a great point you raised,
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 5: because even within like the you know, the entertainment community
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 5: for example, that was birthed out of the church and
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 5: we just we just surrendered it to to It's a
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 5: great point.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 20: The church was the incubator of the arts in Western
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 20: culture for almost a thousand years, and I mean all
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 20: of our classic art and music and literature has Christian themes,
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 20: and the Church stepped out of that, and now we
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 20: find this secularization of that.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: We got to go back.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 20: I'm not ashamed of what I believe, and I'm grateful
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 20: to see a movement in that way.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 5: America two fifty. It really is the greatest nation. I
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 5: think of the face of the earth, the most exceptional.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 5: What is it that you love about your country, Well, there's.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 2: No place like it.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 20: I've had the privilege of traveling the world and the
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 20: freedom and the liberties we enjoy. What binds us together
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 20: as a nation is not our ethnicity or our appearance.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 20: We're a melting pot. We've come from the nations of
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 20: the world. But it was a value system. We've never
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 20: been uniquely Christian. But it's been our Judeo Christian values
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 20: that have bound us together, and it has given us
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 20: the greatest opportunities, the greatest abundance. And we have an opportunity,
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 20: I think, to see that emerge again. If the believers
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 20: will have the courage to lead with our faith.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 5: It's going to be a great celebration. Pastor Jackson, congratulations
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 5: on the new book, Lead with Faith. Got to get
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 5: a copy of that good to see you.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Tod. Keep up the good word, all Mari.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 5: That was a fun interview. I'm throwing I'm calling an
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 5: audible and we're doing a quick trivia question. The winner
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 5: is going to get a copy of the brand new book.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 5: It's not going to be out till May, but you will.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 5: We're going to take all your info and we're going
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 5: to go Andy Griffiths Show. So here is the question.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 5: Gohmer Pile had two popular catchphrases on the Andy Griffith Show.
• 1:33:23

• 1:36:50
  Speaker 5: of those in the coming days. All right, I want
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 5: to go right away to our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 5: Congressman Mark Harris agreed to come on and talk about
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 5: this breaking news. Congressman, good to have you with us today.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 18: Great to be with you. It's hard to get through
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 18: because of all the folks responding to the.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 5: You know, midway through we were like, oh are full,
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 5: our lines are full. So we appreciate you. We appreciate
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 5: you playing a long year, Congressman. Uh, in all seriousness,
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 5: I have never seen Speaker Mike Johnson so angry over
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 5: what's been happening, and what happened in the wee hours
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 5: of the morning. As a matter of fact, we call
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 5: that time. As a matter of fact here on this program,
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 5: we call it demon time, de demon time. What say you, Congressman, Well.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 18: I agree. I think the demons were set loose over
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 18: in the Senate, and amazingly enough, around two o'clock this morning,
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 18: as I understand it, they passed this funding bill uh,
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 18: and then send it over to us, and really without
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 18: any to see any letting us know this was happening,
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 18: they voted it by unanimous consent. To understand, correctly, there
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 18: were five senators on the floor when this happened. Uh,
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 18: Nobody interestingly enough was willing to object, and so it
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 18: went by unanimous consent, and it's just unacceptable. The Senate's
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 18: refusal the fully funded homeland security is just pathetic. I mean,
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 18: I don't know anything else. When you think about what
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 18: was in this bill, the fact that they wanted to
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 18: defund ICE, defund border patrol, I mean they zeroed out
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 18: ICE is unit fighting child sex trafficking. And when you
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 18: look at short changing our border patrol and block funding
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 18: to deport dangerous criminals. The American people have been held hostage.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 18: And I think the term has been made that they've
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 18: not only been holding them hostage, but at two o'clock
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 18: in the morning, they demanded a ransom and shot the hostage.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 18: I mean, it is it's bad. And we spent over
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 18: two hours together, almost two hours as a conference with
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 18: the Speaker. That's why his news conference was delayed about
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 18: an hour because our conversations went on and on. And
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 18: so we are we're preparing to pass a bill sometime later.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 18: I guess it'll go go through rules and then they'll
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 18: ultimately get to the floor and hopefully we're going to
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 18: pass this bill and send it back to the Senate
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 18: basically saying we want a continuing resolution on fully funding
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 18: homeland security period. And this will be the fourth time
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 18: that we have actually passed the bill demanding or approving
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 18: funding for all of homeland security and sending it over
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 18: to the Senate.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 5: And let me jump in here, let me jump in here.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 5: I've got so many questions that would almost to imply
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 5: that the Senate's going to have to come back because
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 5: they're gone. I mean they ran.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 18: Yeah, I don't know. I'm not sure they have to
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 18: through this pro forma. They can with unanimous consent. They
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 18: passed this crap last night with five people there. They
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 18: can pass something with unanimous consent when it gets back
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 18: to them on Monday or Tuesday.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 5: We just had Congressman John Rose on and as awful
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 5: as the Democrats are here, this is a Republican problem
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 5: right now. And the issue I have with the Senate
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 5: majority leader is that now he's put you guys on
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 5: the hot seat when it should have been the Democrats
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 5: all along. Republicans had control of the moral high ground
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 5: and it was seeded in the wee hours of the morning.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 5: Here Congressman John Rose says it is time for new
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 5: leadership in the Senate. What say you do you agree
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 5: with that?
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 18: Well, I don't disagree with that. I you know, speakers
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 18: said a few moments ago in the breaking news that
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 18: you know, he doesn't believe that John Thune was that
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 18: this was anything that he formulated. I don't know. I
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 18: do think that there's a lot of questions that's got
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 18: to be answered about how such a thing ended up
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 18: coming out of the Senate. But to your point that
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 18: they put us in a hot seat, well, this conference
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 18: is going to stand strong, and our plan is to
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 18: send it right back. But this time was something that
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 18: really and truly there's no reason that they cannot go
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 18: for full funding over a period of time in a
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 18: short term cr that would allow us to get these
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 18: people paid. The President just in the last few minutes,
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 18: I understand, has signed the executive order that is instructing
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 18: Secretary Mark Blaine Mullen to pay TSA agents, so they
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 18: will begin to be paid. But if they go ahead,
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 18: if the Senate will take this action today, that we're
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 18: and send it back over to them. If they will
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 18: take the action in their performance session on Monday or Tuesday,
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 18: they ought to be able to pass this again through
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 18: unanimous consent.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 5: All right, well, Congressman, we really appreciate you hopping on
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 5: here at the last minute. I know that's a lot
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 5: of breaking news that's happening. Will you guys be doing
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 5: any votes today? Is that when all of this is
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 5: going to happen later today, It will.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 18: Be happening either later today or in the morning. We've
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 18: got to get everybody back. We got to know everybody's here.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 18: Rules will I'm anticipating a rule vote will happen later tonight,
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 18: and it may be that a vote will happen in
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 18: the morning on our end to get it to get
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 18: it passed and sent back over to the Senate. It
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 18: could happen. I just know the Speaker intend for it
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 18: to move as soon as possible, hopefully in.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 5: The daylight hours when people can be aware.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 12: I hope, I hope.
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 18: Well, we just want to get it done as quickly
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 18: as we can get the votes here. We want take
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 18: it and we won't to send it back to the
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 18: Senate because this doesn't need to be lingering out there.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 5: No, it does not, All right, Congressman Harris, thank you again,
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 5: Congressman Mark Harris, Ladies and gentlemen from the great state

  Speaker 5: YouTube wherever, and you'll be able to find that number.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 5: You need to be calling your elected leaders in Congress
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 5: on the House and the Senate side, and you need
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 5: to have a come to Jesus moment with all of
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 5: these folks. Don't be using any bad language unless it's necessary,
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 5: but I'm just telling you they need to know that

• 1:44:43
  Speaker 5: we have a lot of fun. Let's take a listen.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 5: Delta Airlines announced today they're no longer going to let
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 5: members of Congress skip the line. They're gonna have to
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 5: stand there with all the folks who fly steerage. What
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 5: say you about that?
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 21: It's about time noil King's power to the people. Yeah,
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 21: they the fact that, And this is something that the
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 21: Democrats should be on board with, right, No kings, no authoritarians,
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 21: no dictators. They're not better than us, right, so they
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 21: should be on board with this, and they should be
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 21: very upset with their with their Democratic representatives who voted
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 21: against this. This is this is something that has long overdo.
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 21: I hope the other airlines filesuit as far as Trump
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 21: and Ice. First of all, the man is the most
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 21: brilliant troll. I thought I was good. This man puts
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 21: me to shame. Hilarious. I love it. But it does
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 21: take the pressure off the Democrats to some extent, right,
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 21: because now people aren't aren't being they're not being made miserable.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 21: Democrats love to make the American people miserable. Trump alleviated that.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 21: I hope he gets credit for a leaving alleviating it.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 21: And I hope they continue to hope. Hold Democrats fee
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 21: to the fire. And lastly, how nice was it to
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 21: see the ice agents handing out water instead of what
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 21: was it? Separating families and killing people at the airports?
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 21: You know, I didn't think that was going to happen
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 21: to begin with, But you know, Democrats hope springs eternal.
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 4: So overall, a great troll in the President's park.
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 5: Kay, I want to switch gears. Maryland a Republican lawmaker
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 5: asking questions about a bill that would force all public
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 5: buildings to provide tampons in the men's room. Let's take
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 5: a listen.
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 22: What are appropriately sized tampons? I've never heard of such
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 22: a thing. What do you consider appropriate?
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 4: It just means that tampons are offered.
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 8: They're no specific side.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 22: Well apparently there's four different sizes, So which one would
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 22: you like them to use?
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 8: Just a regular sized tampon in the bathroom?
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 5: Oh jeez a, lou All right, ladies, I'm just going
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 5: to step back here and the ka I'm gonna let
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 5: you debate the phrase appropriately size tampons for us.
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 16: Well, okay, I don't even know where to start with this,
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 16: because there's the debate on like whether people should be
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 16: using tampons anyway. I don't personally trust anything made in China,
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 16: even though most of the stuff that we use these
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 16: days is But this is just guys, weren't we passed this?
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 16: Didn't we elect Tromp? I mean, I didn't you guys
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 16: can hear by my accent. I can't vote in this country,
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 16: although I know how to get an ID all those
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 16: sorts of things, so you know, at some point in
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 16: the future maybe, But when't we passed this?
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 4: Weren't we pass the point where we.
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 16: Realized that men a don't need tampons be if they did,
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 16: I dread to think where they would be putting them.
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 16: In fact, I think the only thing any man should
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 16: ever use a tampon for is for a nosebleed, as
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 16: we saw Channing Tatum do in the movie. I can't
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 16: remember what it's called, but it's based on a Shakespearean movie.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 16: That's one of the funniest moments ever in cinematic history.
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 16: That is the only context in which men should be
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 16: using tampons for comic effects during a nosebleed.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 4: That is it.
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 16: I think that the fact that tax payer money is
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 16: going to be spent on this how people are like
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 16: rising up against it. It's just the kind of stupidity
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 16: that kind of breaks my brain. And I thought being
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 16: postpartum was enough to break my brain. This just made
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 16: it even worse because I can't believe that we still
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 16: And how is this?
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 22: Like?
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 4: How is this man saying this with a straight face? Appropriately, say, Temples,
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 4: How is this man saying it with a straight face?
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 16: He must have a lot of zeros behind him that
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 16: are pushing him to do this as the only reason,
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 16: only reason someone would choose to be this embarrassingly stupid.
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 5: Mary, As much as I want you to weigh in
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 5: on the ladies unmentionable segment, we do need to move
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 5: on switching gears. An art project at a while Washington
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 5: State High School did not have tampons, but did actually
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 5: depict President Trump as a pig, a clan number, a clown,
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 5: and had references to assassination, ultimately removed after the student
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 5: shared an image with the center square, which went viral.
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 5: I'm just wondering, at what point does the art teacher
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 5: step in and say, you know, I think we might
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 5: need to self edit.
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 3: A bit here.
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 21: Yeah, Well it's an art teacher, haven't we pretty much
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 21: determined that most artists are the ones with the purple
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 21: hair and all that stuff and hate Trump and not
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 21: all I said most, So don't write the emails. I
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 21: don't want to hear it. I'm not condemning everybody. But
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 21: when someone's saying, well, I'm an artist, or they're unemployed
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 21: or anything along those lines, you know, the friends, you
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 21: know exactly what I'm talking about. It would not be
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 21: surprising to me if said art teacher did have like
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 21: purple hair and secretly thought that this was fantastic and
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 21: it was beautiful art, because you know, when this kid
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 21: was doing this along the way as the project was
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 21: going along, that our teacher had no oversight.
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 4: Of course he or she did. Of course they did.
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 21: They knew darn well what was happening, and secretly they
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 21: were they were like, going, this is gonna be great,
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 21: this is fantastic. But I'm gonna let him do it.
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 21: I'm gonna blame the kid when it all comes to fruition.
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 21: So I'm glad that they took it down, that cooler
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 21: heads prevailed, and I'm glad they took it down. And
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 21: by the way, Todd, you're a chicken for not having
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 21: us expound anymore on the tampons of the men's bathroom topic.
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's a discussion about the appropriate length of
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 5: a segment. Ladies. Finally, new craze sweeping across the nation.
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 5: First there was something called goat yoga. Now there's something
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 5: called sword yoga. Ladies in New York City and the
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 5: South Florida now wielding swords for exercise. Mary, I'm just
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 5: curious to think that's going to be as popular as pilates. Mary,
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 5: you answer first, and Kay wrap up for us.
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 21: Well, I think with this one, women need to know
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 21: their limited because I'm a klutz. I walked into the
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 21: refrigerator the other day and my husband's like, did you
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 21: not see it? So like for me this would be
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 21: a no go because I would be in the er
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 21: within the first fifteen minutes. So for me, it's a
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 21: no go. What happened to Baton's like? Do we stop
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 21: Baton twirling?
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 21: Why does it have to be a And it's not
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 21: even like a plastic sword, it's actually real. So I
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 21: think you'd better know your limitations if this is something
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 21: you're going to take on.
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 4: All right, Kay, I couldn't. No, I mean that you
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 4: absolutely nailed it. Mary.
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 16: That was the first thing that I thought. I was
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 16: just like, oh, that's an accident waiting to happen. But
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 16: then I was like, why stop at swords? This is America.
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 16: Why not gun yoga? Why not machete yoga.
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 13: We'll just die down the list.
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 4: We'll just go down the list. We'll do a best.
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 16: Break yoga, every single one possible, every single type of weapon.
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 16: I know that someone's gonna be like, oh, well, there's
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 16: like a tai chi, like you know, chill element going on, like.
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 4: With this will blow mormal blah.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 16: No, someone's gonna get hurt, someone's gonna get sued. But
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 16: I still think that we should go for like gun yoga,
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 16: and uh, I don't know.
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 5: Now there you go. You never know what's going to
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 5: happen on this show. Hey, get out there. Have a
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 5: great Friday, folks, and whatever you do, be sure to
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 5: go to church this weekend.
