• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Broadcasting coast to coast and border to border.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: From Memphis, Tennessee. That's us, that's right.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: I love this American ride.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Todd Starnes. You know, I feel like I ought to
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: reintroduce myself. Hello, everybody. This is Todd Starnes, and it
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: is really, really great to be back behind the microphone.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Great to have all of you with us, border to border,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: coast to coast, across the Fruited Plain. And, wow, I've
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: got a lot to say. I don't like taking off
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: time from the show. I do enjoy, you know, whenever
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: I'm away from the microphone, I enjoy where I'm at
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: and what I'm doing. We had a wonderful time in California.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I was there for 10 days as I went to
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: a conference. I was one of the speakers at the conference,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: the Spiritual Leadership Conference, which is sponsored by Lancaster Baptist
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Church at West Coast Baptist College. Had a wonderful time there.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: And we'll tell you about some of those adventures throughout
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the week. Then traveling to Northern California and had a
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: chance to speak to some wonderful folks at a terrific
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: church there in the San Francisco area, Heritage Baptist Church.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: And it is all that to say it is great
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: to be back with you. And I will tell you,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: you know, it's one of those trips where it is
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: sort of relaxing, but you are working around the clock.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: And we signed a lot of books together. and met
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: a lot of our great listeners, including some of the
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: guys that are regulars on the show. They were at
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the conference, our good buddy General John Teichert and Chad Connolly,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Adam Morgan, the list good, Dr. Paul Chappell. So it
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: was great to see all of those guys in person.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: But I got to tell you, Dylan, I was kind
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: of missing you guys back here at the ranch.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Aw, that's sweet, Todd.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I brought you back treats, by the way. It was
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: like an exotic— we' re going to get the name of the
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: candy company, but it's like an exotic candy company. And
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: one of the people, I guess, who owns the candy
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: company or does something with the candy company, they were
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: at the church Sunday, and they sent me back to
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Memphis with this massive box of very unusual exotic chocolates
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: that you guys have already consumed.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're almost gone, actually. They're very good.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: I've honestly never had chocolates that taste like this before.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: It's like, what do you put in this?
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: It tastes expensive.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: You don't want to know. You really don't want to know.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: You just eat it and enjoy the taste.
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: Sure, sure.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I think that's how that works.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: I feel like you also brought the weather because it's
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: like 71 outside. That's never been heard of before in Memphis.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Todd.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, happy to do that. But in San Francisco,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: which is always cold and sort of rainy and foggy,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: 97 degrees.
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: They had a heat wave.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: That's unfortunate.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: And a lot of those people don't do air conditioning.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know how they live. I really don't. I
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: have a lot to say about my observations of California life.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: And hopefully, hopefully the good people of California are going
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to wake up and elect Steve Hilton as their governor.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: They got to do something. It's insane out there. Just insane.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: All right. We have a lot to talk about. We
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: have some great guests coming up. Our good buddy Josh
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Jones is going to be along here. And a very
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: important conversation as we're really heading into the homestretch here,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: midterm elections. And I was flying back to Memphis, and
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: we have a huge– the House Ways and Means Committee
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: is having a big field hearing in the Memphis area.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: So Congress– well, we have like, I don't know, almost
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: a dozen members of Congress that are here in the area.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: And I was talking to one of the congressmen. We
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: were flying in together, our good buddy Congressman Ron Estes
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: out of Wichita, and he's pretty hopeful for his race.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: But in California, I was talking to a couple of lawmakers,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: and they are really concerned. And these are individuals coming
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: from Republican strongholds, and they feel like that the Republican
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: vote has been demoralized and depressed. Now, this morning I
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: was on Newsmax. And they asked me about Talafrico and
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Ken Paxton and all the stuff surrounding Ken Paxton. What
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: did I tell you? Before I left two weeks ago,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: before I left for California, I told you, be very careful.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: about what you hear over the next three to four weeks.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: And the reason why is there's going to be a
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: lot of disinformation. The polling data is all going to
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: skew to the Democrats, and they want you, the Republican voters,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: to be so dejected that you will not go and
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: vote on Election Day. And we just cannot allow that
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: to happen.
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Let me just caveat all of this. This is all
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: contingent upon you getting out and voting. And if you don't,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: then the communists are going to win. I'm feeling very
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: confident about our chances in the midterms, but I'm telling you,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I am in the minority. And I have spoken in
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the past two weeks, I've spoken to about a half
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: a dozen members of Congress who are Republican. And every
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: single one of them is really, really concerned about the midterms.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: And I'm curious, what about you? What's your feel? What's
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: your gut telling you about the midterms? We're going to
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: be taking your calls today, 901-260-5926. Again, our telephone number, 901-260-5926.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: But let me just say this. The Democrats have put
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: up candidates across the board who are slap-crazy nuts. I
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: had a chance to talk with Congressman David Kustoff, who
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: happens to be my congressman, earlier today. And he told
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: me this election really is a battle between common sense
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: and crazy. And I think he's right. I think the
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Democrats have a whole lot of crazy. And understand this,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. When the Democrats say if they get
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: in power, they're going to defund the police, you better
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: believe them. If they say they're going to abolish ICE,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: you better believe them. If they say they're going to
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: open up the prisons and let all the bad guys go,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: you better believe them. When they say they want to
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: round up all of the MAGA people and put them
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: into re-education camps and I don't know, gulags, you better
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: believe them. I know I do, and that's why I
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: have nothing but hope that we're going to win, because
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the other thing is just unthinkable. It's just truly unthinkable.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, when you go back to the era of
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden and the auto-pin presidency and the radicals that
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: populated the deep state, A report came out last night
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: on Fox News. It turns out newly unclassified or declassified
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: documents show the FBI, not only were they spying on
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: members of the Trump administration, but they were also spying
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: on members of the president's family, including his wife and
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: and his then teenage son, Barron Trump. Take a listen.
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: Declassified records reveal the Biden-era FBI tracked the movement of
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: then-former President Trump's family and logged his allies' phone numbers.
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: It was part of the Bureau's classified documents investigation. Documents
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: released by the White House indicate the probe directed by
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: then-Special Counsel Jack Smith tracked the travel of Melania and
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: Barron Trump. It also reinforced and monitored calls from Trump
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: aide Susie Wiles, White House chief of staff, to lawyers,
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: campaign advisors, and journalists.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Sweet mercy. Do you understand? I mean, and by the way,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: some of these FBI agents that were involved in this
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: are still actually employed by the FBI. And Lord love them,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: the Republicans are throwing all these great hearings, but nothing
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: really ever comes of it. It just seems to me
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: that people need to be going to jail here. Now,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: the FBI, under Joe Biden, also you might recall this,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: went after pro-life families. They staged guns drawn, pre-dawn raids,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: on pro-life families across America. People were literally hauled out,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: men and women hauled out of their homes in their
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: pajamas as their horrified children looked on. Just horrifying what
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: the Biden administration did. They went to Catholic priests in Richmond,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Virginia predominantly, but other areas of the nation, and Biden's
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: FBI agents tried to convince these priests to spy on
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: their parishioners. This is what Donald Trump was elected to
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: put a stop to, and and he has done that
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: but people need to be going they need to be
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: going to jail over all of this that's what that's
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: what needs to happen just unbelievable and then and then
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: in texas you've got james talafrico and you know all
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: the polling everybody and here's the thing you need to
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: understand about what's happening with ken paxton And I know
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: he's angry. I know he's upset and he's frustrated. He
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: has every right to be. First of all, he's just
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: not a good candidate. He's just not a good candidate.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean he's going to make a bad senator.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: It just means he's not a good campaigner. That's not
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: who he is. He's not some sort of a polished guy.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, even President Trump says that. But you've got
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Talofrico out there, and he is saying what needs to
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: be said to be elected. And most of them are lying.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: He's literally lying to all of you people there in Texas.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: And I still think this guy, I still think the
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: guy is a closet vegan. I really do. There's something,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: that guy creeps me out. And somebody needs to do
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: a probe. And I'm sure Talofrico would love that. Oh, please,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: somebody probe me. I'm just telling you, something's not right
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: about that guy. So is Ken Paxton in trouble? This
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: is the one that gets me. I don't know the answer.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I can't answer that right now. And here's the reason why.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Because you've got Karl Rove and you've got all of
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: the establishment Texas population lined up against him. So Ken Paxton...
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: is not only having to battle Talofrico and his transgender army,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: but now he's having to battle Karl Rove and John
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Cornyn and the establishment republics, including the Bushes. So George W.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Bush out there raising money for candidates, doing what he can,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: but he's turning a blind eye to Ken Paxton. Man,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: this guy has rubbed everybody the wrong way down there
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: in Texas. I will say this, props to the ex-wife.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: She went out and she didn't mention him by name,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: but she said that she was voting a straight party ticket.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: So we have to presume that means her ex-husband. But
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: at least she's not out there attacking a member of
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: her own party. And by the way, where is the
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: party loyalty at, by the way? Anybody, whenever they have
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: an establishment candidate, we're all expected to, you know, get
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: in line and do what we can to get them
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: across the finish line. Had to hold my nose two times,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: John McCain and Mitt Romney. You saw how all that
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: turned out, but at least the conservatives got behind the candidate.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: And it seems to me, and I've got more to
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: say about this, we're going to have to take a
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: break here. But it just seems to me there's a
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: lot of disloyalty going on on the Republican side. And
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: it's coming from the establishment, and it's coming from the
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: MAGA wing. And everybody says the same thing. If I
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: don't get my way, then I'm going to blow things up.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I'm going to take my baseball bat and go home.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: And that's what the establishment says, and that's what the
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: MAGA folks say. And then all the rest of us
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: are stuck in the middle. And if we are not careful,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, By January of next year, if we
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: keep doing this, we could all be picking cotton in
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: some sort of a Democrat-funded good luck. And I don't
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: do well out in the fields. I'm just telling you
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: right now. I wasn't built for that. All right, we've
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: got to take a break. 901-260-5926. Looking forward to hearing
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: from you guys. I haven't heard from you in a while.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I do want to thank all of our fill-in hosts,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Andy Hoosier. We had Chris Salcedo, Jeff Stein. The guys
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: did a great job, but it is great to be
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: back with you. Hang tight. We'll be right back.
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody. It is the Todd Stearns Radio Extravaganza.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Happy to have all of you with us. By the way,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: I want to say hello to a student who came
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: over and introduced himself at West Coast Baptist College. They actually,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: a number of their students actually work the call center.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: So when you call in and you say, you know what,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: I want to switch over to Patriot Mobile, you're going

• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I want to say hello to Aiden and all the

  Speaker 2: other students there at West Coast Baptist College who are
• 14:41

• 15:02
  Speaker 2: love our friends at Patriot Mobile. All right, our telephone number, 901-260-5926. Again,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: that's 901-260-5926. I want to play something here. President Trump
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: is catching a lot of flack for something he said
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: yesterday at a rally. And the media, the drive-by media,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: taking our president out of context intentionally. So again, remember
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: what I told you two weeks ago. You can't believe
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: any of the media coverage between now and election day.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: You just can't do it. It's going to drive you bonkers.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I know, but don't let it drive you bonkers. Here's
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: President Trump. And here's what they're saying. They're saying that
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: President Trump was suggesting that the Iranians should nuke Los
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Angeles and San Diego. But that's not what the president
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: actually said. Take a listen.
• 15:54
  Speaker 9: Cut eight.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: I want to see a tremendous victory. You want to
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: see a tremendous victory because it verifies all the things
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: we did. And again, remember. With the word just artificial,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: it's a little bit high. It's a small price to
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: They could take out a city. Let them take out
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Los Angeles.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Let them take out San Diego.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: This is a very small price to pay. And it's
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: going to be over very soon. It's essentially almost over with.
• 16:24
  Speaker 9: And they might keep.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Going a little long.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: You know, they always say they have a big threshold
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: for pain.
• 16:28
  Speaker 9: They need it.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you, they need it.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: But it's going to end very soon.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: And it'll end one way or the other.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: And your gas and your gasoline and all of the things.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: So the vermin over at the New York Slimes. Did
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: you hear that? Did you hear what Trump said? He
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: wants to blow up Los Angeles and San Diego, which
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: means a whale's vagina. No, he said it. You heard
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: him say it. He wants Iran to explode nuclear bombs.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: That's what they're saying in the New York Slimes. That's
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: not what the president— oh, yes, it is, Starnes. He said
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: it's a small price to pay. You know, I've had
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: to deal with a lot of leftists over the past
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: couple of days in California. But when I heard what
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: they were trying to do here, take what the president
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: said completely out of context. The president was saying that
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: the gas price is paying more at the pump. That's
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: the price, the small price to pay. And the only
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: reason we're over there fighting Iran right now is to
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: make sure there is not a nuclear cloud over Los
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Angeles or San Diego gets vaporized. That's what Trump was saying.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: But again, you just can't, folks, I'm telling you, you're
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: going to need a Baptist martini or maybe a couple
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: of Dr. Peppers extra to make it through the next
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks. The amount of disinformation spewing out of
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: the mainstream media is going to be off the charts.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: But here's one thing I can tell you. Have you
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: noticed this? Every single rally that the president has held,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: and he's doing one every single day, every single rally
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: filled to overflowing. What does that tell you, ladies and gentlemen?
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: All right, got to take a break. 901-260-5926, our number.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Starnes Show.
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Starnes Radio Show.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I would caution you again, and I will be sharing
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: the polling data only because it's out there, but I'm
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: just not believing these numbers. So either Republicans are refusing
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: to answer, or they're intentionally misleading the pollsters, or the
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: pollsters are just simply ignoring Republican areas altogether. Because right now,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: the real clear politics average of all the major polls
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: out there have the Democrats taking, well, 51%, Republicans 43%.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: And according to real clear politics, how does that break down?
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: In the House, the Democrats would have 226 seats, 185
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: for the Republicans. and 24 toss-ups. So that's where we
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: are right now. now, according to the polling data. But
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: here's the polling data I'm more interested in. It's what's
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: happening at these rallies, because the rallies are not meant
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: necessarily for the people that are there in the area, like,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: for example, Mobile, Alabama. No, no, no. It was for
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: a much larger audience. See, the problem is all of
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: the media coverage has been negative, all of it. So
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: it's hard for the media to ignore the fact that
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: you have thousands of people packing out these stadiums for
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: President Trump. They cannot ignore that, and especially the local media.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: So when you're watching the rallies, you're watching the enthusiastic crowds,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: you're hearing them cheer and chant USA, it tells you
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: that there is still excitement in this country for the
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: America First movement. That's what Trump is doing. And I'm
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: excited for the president to be out there. By the way,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Barack Hussein Obama... is going to be campaigning for Abdul
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: El-Sayed in Michigan. You say, well, what's that all about? Well,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Muslims of a feather flock together. I think that's in
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: the Koran somewhere. Anyway, you've got Barack Hussein Obama out there,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: and the reason why Hussein Obama is campaigning for El-Sayed,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: El-Sayed's got huge problems. A lot of Democrats are either
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: going to vote for Mike Rogers or they're staying home.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: because El-Sayed is far too liberal for even the Democrats
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: in the state of Michigan. Meanwhile, on the Republican side,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: you've got Tom Telles. You folks in North Carolina, this
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: is just insane. So Tom Telles has a new book
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: out today. I did reach out. I did reach out.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: They were like, no, yeah, no, he's not coming on.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: I don't blame him. I mean, we just But look,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: we just call it like we see it with Tom Tillis.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: And the guy is a class A jerk, but he's
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: also a closet Democrat. That's who he is. And by
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: the way, hear me on this. You're going to start
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: seeing a lot of these other Republican senators. Tillis actually
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: said there are about 30 Republican senators who hate Donald Trump.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: And most of them are not willing to go and
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: say that publicly. Tillis, he doesn't care. So anyway, Tom Tillis,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: new book out, cut number six.
• 22:23
  Speaker 10: Republican Senator Tom Tillis of North Carolina is not known
• 22:27
  Speaker 10: for mincing words. That holds true in his new expletive-laden book,
• 22:31
  Speaker 10: How to Lose Friends and Antagonize Presidents. I'm writing this
• 22:35
  Speaker 10: book to save my party from itself, Tillis writes, and
• 22:39
  Speaker 10: to save the president from the temptation and tragedies being
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: set upon him from MAGA extremists. The book's cover captures Tillis' approach.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: He focuses his.
• 22:49
  Speaker 10: Fire on President Donald Trump's top appointees, not on the
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: president himself. That includes Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.
• 22:57
  Speaker 10: Kennedy Jr., who Tillis says has wreaked havoc on the country,
• 23:01
  Speaker 10: and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Tillis had concerns about both men.
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: Still.
• 23:07
  Speaker 10: He voted to confirm them and everyone else in the
• 23:11
  Speaker 10: president's cabinet. He recalls being summoned to the White House
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: to meet with the vice president and others who lobbied
• 23:17
  Speaker 10: him to support Hexeth. What really made this a WTF
• 23:20
  Speaker 10: moment was the utter conviction that all three of these
• 23:23
  Speaker 10: guys had. To them, if President Trump said it, that
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: was good as God saying it. I felt a pit
• 23:29
  Speaker 10: in my stomach. Dealing with Trump 2.0 was going to
• 23:32
  Speaker 10: be way harder than I'd thought. He says he now
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: regrets his votes for a number of secretaries and calls
• 23:39
  Speaker 10: his Hegseth vote the biggest regret of his career, writing,
• 23:43
  Speaker 10: I know for a fact that there are others like me,
• 23:45
  Speaker 10: Republicans who agreed to go along with the early demands
• 23:48
  Speaker 10: of the Trump team no matter how ridiculous they were,
• 23:51
  Speaker 10: believing that failing to do so would mean the end
• 23:54
  Speaker 10: of their political career and who now see that things
• 23:57
  Speaker 10: have gone way too far. Tillis says he agrees with
• 24:00
  Speaker 10: the president's policy proposals 90% of the time, He details, though,
• 24:06
  Speaker 10: his likely biggest difference, his opposition to Trump's signature tax
• 24:10
  Speaker 10: and spending legislation known as the One Big Beautiful Bill.
• 24:14
  Speaker 10: Tillis says the bill's cuts to Medicaid will be disastrous
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: and predicts it will contribute to a Republican wipeout in
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: the midterms. After Tillis voted against advancing the bill, the
• 24:24
  Speaker 10: president threatened on social media to back a primary challenger
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: against him. Tillis writes that he texted his staff, It.
• 24:32
  Speaker 10: I'm done. and he announced he wouldn't seek re-election. Tillis
• 24:36
  Speaker 10: shared the text message he sent the president months later
• 24:39
  Speaker 10: after the president once again ripped into him on Truth Social.
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: I retired because you took advice from some a * *
• 24:46
  Speaker 10: hole on health care policy that is going to harm
• 24:49
  Speaker 10: North Carolina and kill Watley's chances, referring to Michael Watley,
• 24:53
  Speaker 10: who's running for Senate. I still want to help, but
• 24:56
  Speaker 10: I don't take this.
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: A * * hole.
• 24:58
  Speaker 10: From anyone, including you, Mr. President.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Save that a * * hole.
• 25:02
  Speaker 10: For the cowards who don't care if you fail. I
• 25:05
  Speaker 10: care if you fail, and right now, we are failing.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: All right, there you have it. Filthy mouth man, Tom Tillis.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: You people in North Carolina deserve better. This guy's gutter trash,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: this Tom Tillis guy. And he's also a fake Republican. Along,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: by the way, with Tom Cotton in Arkansas. That guy,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: let me just say something about Tom Cotton. That guy
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: is always, always siding with the Democrats on things. I'm
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: telling you, they all hate Trump. Tom Cotton, Tom Tillis,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: John Kennedy out of Louisiana. And I called him out
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: over the weekend. Kennedy used profanity and directed it at
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: President Trump. What you may not be aware of is
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: that up until 2007, John Kennedy of Louisiana was actually
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: a Democrat. So he spent most of his adult life
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: as a Democrat. I want to know, how does a
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: guy go from being a Democrat, and he tried to
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: run for much higher office and was not able to
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: get any traction, so all of a sudden he decides
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: to become a Republican? Oh, and by the way, a
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: lot of you people say, but Todd, we love Senator Kennedy.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: He says all those folksy things like, well, well, well, Sean,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: the cheese done falled off his cracker. I mean, that's
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: what he does. I mean, every time he's on Fox News,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: he's kind of like the new Lindsey Graham of Fox
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: News Channel. So we did a little bit of digging
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: and it turns out I knew something was up with
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: this guy. So we did a little bit of checking
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: and it turns out it's a fake accent. That's right.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: There's actual video evidence of this guy back when he
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: was a Democrat. And here's how he would talk when
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: he was a Democrat. Well, thank you very much, Sean,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: for having me on the program today to talk about
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: the mental capabilities of President Joe Biden. It's an honor
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: to be here. And then, now that he's a Republican, well, Sean... Yeah,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: the cheese has done fallen off his cracker.
• 27:31
  Speaker 11: Yee-hoo!
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: You're like, who is this guy? I hate phonies. I
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: hate phonies. I can smell them. I'm telling you, folks,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: it's like walking into a liberal protest. You can smell
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: it before you see it. And the same thing with
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: John Kennedy. They're all a bunch of phonies, and they
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: all hate Trump. And trust me on this, you're going
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: to see more of this happening. I'm telling you, they're
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: going to be coming out of the woodwork like cockroaches.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: I'm just telling you. 901-260-5926, our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. And, Dylan,
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean, if you're in the south, you know,
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: I have a southern accent, but they're not.
• 28:13
  Speaker 11: Yee-hoo!
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: How's it going there, Dylan? What's going on, Dylan?
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're southern. You're not that southern.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Go down to Cracker Barrel. Well, howdy, ma'am. I want
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: some of that country fried steak. Mm-mm. Them vittles are
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: as good. No, you don't talk like that.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: No, only the Cracker Barrel employees can talk like that.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: And that's when you know it's a good Cracker Barrel.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: And normally you have to be missing a few teeth.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Exactly. Yeah.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: With a cigarette dangling out of the side of your mouth.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: She'll call you sweetheart. She'll call you baby. That's right.
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: Anything but your name.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: You know, I always used to be afraid because there
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: are some waitresses like back at the Waffle House, for example,
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: and they'd be taking your order and the cigarette would
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: be like drooping off the side of the lip. And
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: then you would see like little flecks of ash. But
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: you know what? That's the flavor.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: It's the flavor.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: It's the flavor.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: It's got to go in the eggs, probably.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, go to Mar-a-Lago and maybe they'll
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: sprinkle gold dust. But at Waffle House, you get cigarette ash.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: That's good eating. That's all I'm saying. So anyway, oh,
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: we've got to talk about this basketball story. Dylan, I
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: know you're a big sports guy. Portland Trailblazers. So they
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: hired a brand new announcer. And the guy is just,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: he checks off every single box, except for a couple.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: He's white, 29 years old. So he's a young guy,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: and a lot of people took offense of that. They
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: were like, why do we have a white guy doing
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: play-by-play for the Portland Trailblazers? So anyway, I'm giving you
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: the backstory here. So apparently there were people within the
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: organization that were so upset about this that they would
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: hire a white guy to do play-by-play for the basketball game,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: that they started digging into his social media. And so
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: they unearthed some insensitive, I would call them insensitive social
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: media posts on X. And some of them were maybe misogynistic, possibly.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: And so the local TV station there, KGW, what What
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: a bunch of– I've got to be careful. I just
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: came off of a religious trip. What a bunch of jerks.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: So they do this big expose, these shocking social media posts,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: and everybody's horrified. And by the way, they weren't all
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: that bad, actually. I read the tweets, and they weren't
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: all that bad. And so the Portland Trailblazers immediately fired
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: the guy. Boom, you're gone. You're out of a job. Well,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: a little bit more of the backstory. It turns out
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: that he wrote these messages when he was 15 years old.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: He was a teenager back in 2012. So they went
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: all the way back. all the way back to 2012,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: and they're trying to see what this guy wrote. And
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: now this guy's career as a basketball game announcer, as
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: it stands right now, his career is over. He is ruined.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: And Dylan, I told you so, America. I told you so.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: For years, what have I been saying? Don't let your
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: kids get on social media because they could write something
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: when they're 13, 14, 15 years old that could ruin
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: them for the rest of their lives.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: Todd.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: You're just exaggerating again. All that hyperbole. Oh, please stop,
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: you negative Nancy. I told you so.
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that frontal lobe has to be fully developed before
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: you give him a phone. Something has to be there.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: But again, it's 15 years old. You are going to
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: say stupid things when you're 15.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: I wish that I could not go back and see
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: what I tweeted at 15 because it was probably the
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: stupidest things ever.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: You know what I would do? I would do a
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: couple of things. First of all, if I was in Portland,
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: I would boycott KGW TV. Number one. Number two, I
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: would be researching every single reporter, every single staff member,
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: every employee, and I'd be going through their Twitter feeds
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: looking at what they wrote when they were 15 years old.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: And then I would tell the Portland Trailblazers, you either
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: rehire this guy or we're boycotting your basketball team. That's unacceptable. Unacceptable,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. But again, this is where we live
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: right now. So the guy's got an attorney, and the
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: attorney is trying to get the Portland Trailblazers to rehire
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: the guy. And they're proposing some sort of like that
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: he be involved in community educational programming. Oh, he made
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: fun of it. It wasn't blacks. He would have been crucified.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: It was Asian-Americans. That's what he made an Asian-American joke.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Can't do that, apparently. And again, the guy's attorney is like, well,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: the Blazers have a chance to show what accountability and
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: redemption looks like together. What accountability? It was something the
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: guy wrote when he was 15 years old. That's not
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: what he believes now. What's wrong with you people? He
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: needs a new attorney. He ought to ask me. I'll
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: get him his job back.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: Todd Starnes, attorney at law.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: I'll just tell him, hey, look, look at my Twitter feed.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: You want to be offended. That's something that can offend you.
• 33:50
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 33:51
  Speaker 9: It's true.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: It's really true. I know some of the pastors were, like,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: staring at me, and I thought, uh-oh, they must follow
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: me on X.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: They prayed for you all weekend, probably.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, you know I'm on a lot of prayer lists
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: around the nation. So anyway, the Trailblazers, though, they're remaining steadfast.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: We stand by our statement issued last week, and we
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: have no further comment at this time. We wish Mr.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Bell the best. You know, kick them out of the league.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Just kick them out of the league. I'm telling you,
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: all you folks, do they even have a good basketball team?
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: I have no idea. I never pay attention to Portland.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable. So the question is, ladies and gentlemen, should something
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: that you write or do on social media when you're 14,
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: 15 years old, should that impact you for the rest
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: of your life? 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. Oh,
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: the interesting thing is that John Morant actually won the
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: most MVP at the Trailblazers Fan Fest. So I guess
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: it's okay if you're a black dude who wants to
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: go gangsta and, you know, wave around a pistol in
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: the back of a car. And that's okay. And by
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: the way, John Morant wasn't 15 years old when he
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: was doing that. We'll be right back. No, I'm just
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: saying that in the NBA, skin color does matter. When
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: you look at Brayden Bell and John Morant, Brayden Bell
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: was 15 years old when he wrote a racist tweet
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: against Asian Americans. Have we done that recently on the show? So, Ronery.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Never mind. He also did a misogynistic post on X.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: That was back in 2012 and 2013. Woman, make me
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: a sandwich! That was back when he was 15 years old.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: John Morant was 23 years old when he twice displayed
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: firearms on social media and later used gun-style gestures despite
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: being warned by the NBA. Now, Braden Bell's conduct happened
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: 14 years before he got hired by the Trailblazers. John Morant,
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: his behavior happened during his actual NBA career. So John Morant,
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: the only difference here, well, there are a lot of differences,
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: but John Morant's a black guy and Braden Bell's a
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: white guy. And you do wonder if that played into it.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: All right, hang tight, everybody. Hour two of the big
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: show coming up. This is Todd Stearns. Great to be
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: back behind the microphone. We'll be right back.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: From Memphis, Tennessee, it's Common Sense Conservative Commentary from Todd Starr.
• 37:26
  Speaker 9: That's us, that's right.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: I love this American ride.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Dylan, you know, I'm not one of these pumpkin spice
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: latte guys. I don't know what it is. I never
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: really got into it. But anyway, I think our advertising goddess,
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: the lovely Miss Cheryl... left us a big thing of
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: pretzels downstairs. And I'm a sucker for a pretzel, and
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: I was looking for a snack, and I go down
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: there and grab some of my delicious community coffee, and
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: I dig into the pretzel, and I started chewing, and
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: I realized, why does this taste like pumpkin? They were
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: like pumpkin-dipped pretzels.
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know where the pumpkin spice flavor started.
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: I feel like it started at coffee and I feel
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: like maybe it should have stopped at coffee.
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: Cause I don't know.
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: I don't understand all these pumpkin flavored things. Cause now
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: you have like cake, you have like cookies that are
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: pumpkin spice flavored. And then like, I'm cool with the coffee,
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: a pumpkin spice latte. You can't go wrong with generally,
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: but everything else sucks.
• 38:36
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: It's, Yeah, I'm just not a big fan, to be
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: honest with you. You know what? It starts out with
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: an aftertaste. That's the problem.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: You're right.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: It is what it is. Idle though. Anyway, great to
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: be back with you. Also, we're getting some allegations. against
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: the Todd Stearns radio show. And I take this very seriously.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: And Dylan, I don't know how to address this. Someone said,
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: how do we know it's really you? How do we
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: know that you're back? How do we know this is
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: not an AI version of Todd Stearns?
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: It's very concerning in this day and age.
• 39:12
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: I don't think AI would actually allow me to say
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: all of the things I normally say.
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: Not at all.
• 39:19
  Speaker 10: No.
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: You try to type that in and see what happens.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: We get canceled.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: You get banned.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: No. I think the last hour of the show alone. Yeah. Oh,
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: my goodness. so i'm very real so i don't know
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: i mean we've tried to i mean geez like geez
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: alone you know now you can't i mean if you
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: had chat gpt i mean how would you even write
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: that for them to pronounce it correctly.
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah i mean you needed several e's you know uh
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: you say it starts with j but i sometimes think
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: it starts.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: With the g yeah with the g And every now
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: and again, we'll get, you know, I'm jinxing myself right now.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: There's a lady somewhere out there in Georgia who's like
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: 95 years old and is a good church-going woman. Well,
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: that Todd Starnes, he just takes the Lord's name in
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: vain when he says the J word. J'saloo. No, J'saloo
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: is just J'saloo. That's not a bad word.
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: Not even halfway through.
• 40:18
  Speaker 11: No.
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: I rebuke you. I'm like, ma'am, I get these messages.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: And they're always from the elderly church ladies.
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: You know, they're just concerned. They're concerned elderly women.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: You're going to burn in the lake of fire for that,
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Todd Starnes. Good thing I wear fire retard undies. Oh,
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: let's go. Kim, can we go to Johnny? We got
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: to go to Johnny in Memphis. Listen to us on KWAM. Johnny,
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: it is good to be back in the Mid-South.
• 40:52
  Speaker 12: Welcome back, Todd. Welcome back.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 40:55
  Speaker 12: Are there any Republicans in California?
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Johnny, yeah, there are a lot of Republicans. I was
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: really surprised. I mean, it's a big state, but I
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: was really surprised. And let me just say this. As
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: bad as we think Memphis is, try driving through Oakland, California,
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: my friend.
• 41:17
  Speaker 12: Okay, well, why did Trump suggest that Iran blow California
• 41:22
  Speaker 12: off the map then? That goes to show how idiot
• 41:25
  Speaker 12: he is.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: Now, Johnny, he did not say that.
• 41:30
  Speaker 12: He would sacrifice his own people just to kill some Democrats,
• 41:34
  Speaker 12: and you support that.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: No, Johnny, he didn't say that, Johnny.
• 41:39
  Speaker 12: Yes, he did. You're right.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: Now, Johnny, I've barely been back in the city 12 hours,
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: and you're already calling me a liar.
• 41:48
  Speaker 13: You are.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: You are.
• 41:49
  Speaker 12: He did say that. He suggested that Iran blow California out.
• 41:53
  Speaker 12: And that just goes to show you how big an
• 41:55
  Speaker 12: idiot Trump is. He would sacrifice his own people just
• 41:59
  Speaker 12: to kill some Democrats. And you support that, Todd. I
• 42:01
  Speaker 12: thought you were smarter than that, Todd. I thought you
• 42:03
  Speaker 12: were a whole lot smarter.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: Johnny, are you yanking my chain today?
• 42:07
  Speaker 12: Are you? No, I'm not yanking your chain, Todd. You
• 42:11
  Speaker 12: know he said it, Todd. You know that. That, you know, Todd, that,
• 42:16
  Speaker 12: you know, I don't, and then, oh, and by the way, Californians,
• 42:21
  Speaker 12: I hope y'all listen to these, the ones that voted
• 42:23
  Speaker 12: for it. He's willing to sacrifice you all just to
• 42:26
  Speaker 12: kill three Democrats. And then, too, on the AI, it's
• 42:29
  Speaker 12: not the idiot. So it's got to be you. It's
• 42:32
  Speaker 12: got to be you.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Johnny, you see, Johnny, I'm in a good mood because
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: I am back among my people. So I'm going to
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: let that slide.
• 42:43
  Speaker 12: I'm in a good mood, too, so I just want
• 42:45
  Speaker 12: to let you know. I don't like you that well,
• 42:48
  Speaker 12: but I don't want you to get blowed up, so
• 42:50
  Speaker 12: I'm glad you're getting made out of California, Todd.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: Johnny, I'm going to have that put on a T-shirt.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.
• 42:59
  Speaker 12: I am, Todd.
• 43:01
  Speaker 6: I'm glad.
• 43:02
  Speaker 12: I was worried about you, Todd. You know, that idiot
• 43:06
  Speaker 12: gets up there and suggests that Iran blow California off
• 43:09
  Speaker 12: the map. I said, I hope my buddy Todd is back.
• 43:12
  Speaker 12: In Memphis, I don't want him to get blowed up.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: I was in San Francisco. I was outside of the
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: blast zone. But let me just say this, Johnny. The
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: president didn't say that. It was taken out of context,
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: and we played that in the first hour of the show.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Let's play it again here. We'll let Johnny listen to it.
• 43:30
  Speaker 9: I want to see a tremendous victory.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: You want to see a tremendous victory because it verifies
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: all the things we did. And again, remember. With the
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: word just artificial, it's a little bit high. It's a
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: our country safe. They can take out a city. Let
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: them take out Los Angeles.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: Let them take out San Diego. This is a very
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: small price to pay. So, Johnny, in context, he was
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: saying that it's a small price to pay, talking about
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: gas prices, not sacrificing San Diego or Los Angeles, which
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: means a whale's vagina.
• 44:08
  Speaker 12: He had the same opportunity to tell that lie just
• 44:10
  Speaker 12: like you did, sir. Anyway, John, it's good to hear
• 44:16
  Speaker 12: you back on the radio. And listen, you know, when
• 44:21
  Speaker 12: you brag about, you know, people that you listen to
• 44:23
  Speaker 12: that don't like you, I always mention me because, you know,
• 44:26
  Speaker 12: I make for good radio. I don't want to admit it.
• 44:29
  Speaker 12: I make good radio.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: All right. Johnny, real quick here, because people asked me
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: when I was in California, they always said, Todd, we're
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: going to come to Memphis. Where's the best place to
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: get barbecue? Johnny, where would you recommend people go in Memphis?
• 44:48
  Speaker 12: The best place would be probably Tony's Barbecue.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 44:55
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: I'm writing this down. Where's that at?
• 44:59
  Speaker 12: It's in Lawrenceville.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, Lawrenceville.
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: Okay, gotcha.
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: Johnny, well, all right, thank you for calling in, Johnny.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: You know, I feel like I'm really back home now, Dylan.
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: You're officially back. We have Johnny calling in. You're back.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're back.
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: Lovers and haters.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: I know. We got to pull that line again. He
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: doesn't like me, but he didn't want me to get
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: blown up.
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: The sweetheart, Johnny.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: I kind of got misty there.
• 45:26
  Speaker 6: I did.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: I did. All right, 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: So Senator Tom Tillis, again, on this book tour, and
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: now he's threatening to give out President Trump's cell phone number.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: Take a listen to cut seven, please.
• 45:47
  Speaker 8: In the book, you include some private exchanges with the
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: president after he called you a loser and took credit
• 45:53
  Speaker 8: for forcing you out of the Senate. Actually, you claim
• 45:55
  Speaker 8: to have written him denying his account and saying, I
• 45:58
  Speaker 8: would have immediately told you to go blank yourself. And
• 46:01
  Speaker 8: I don't take this BS from anyone, including you, Mr.
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: President.
• 46:05
  Speaker 11: Did you hear back from him?
• 46:07
  Speaker 9: Oh, actually, we've talked or texted back and forth several
• 46:10
  Speaker 9: times since then.
• 46:11
  Speaker 13: Really?
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 46:12
  Speaker 11: He's going to give your phone away after this. Yeah,
• 46:14
  Speaker 11: I was going to say, it might get tweeted.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: Well, with all due respect, I got his number, too.
• 46:19
  Speaker 8: Now, earlier, we talked about the president supposedly giving out
• 46:25
  Speaker 8: the cell phone number of Senator Tom Cotton, so you
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: should be concerned about your phone number, but in a
• 46:31
  Speaker 8: dispute over policy. Are you concerned about the president coming
• 46:33
  Speaker 8: after you after he... Has someone read this book to him?
• 46:37
  Speaker 9: Not at all.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: All right, there he is. I think it was on
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: The View with the squawking magpies over there. And again,
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, I believe Tillis when he says that
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: about 30 Republican senators really do hate Donald Trump. I
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: have no doubt about that. And we're going to see,
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: regardless of what happens in the midterms, There will be
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: a turning away from President Trump, and it will be
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: more vocal. These people will feel that they've been emboldened
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: by the election in one way or the other. And
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: I think we're going to start seeing the early stages
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: of this war over the control of the party. And
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: that's going to be very ugly today. But we're already
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: starting to see chunks of that happening. All right, 901-260-5926,
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. Let's go to Jefferson, Georgia.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: And Brooks is on the line. Hi, Brooks. What's on
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: your mind?
• 47:44
  Speaker 14: Hey, Todd.
• 47:44
  Speaker 13: How you doing, buddy?
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: I'm good. Thank you for asking.
• 47:47
  Speaker 13: Yes, you made a comment earlier in reference to John
• 47:51
  Speaker 13: Morant and the guy that got terminated. and he was
• 47:56
  Speaker 13: wondering if it had anything to do with the fact
• 47:59
  Speaker 13: that one guy was white and John Morant was black.
• 48:03
  Speaker 13: And I made a comment that I really didn't think
• 48:06
  Speaker 13: it had anything to do with race, but had everything
• 48:08
  Speaker 13: to do with money. John Morant puts butts in the
• 48:12
  Speaker 13: seats every night when he plays. People come to see him.
• 48:16
  Speaker 13: This guy right here is getting paid from the organization.
• 48:19
  Speaker 13: John Morant is getting paid from the organization, but He's
• 48:22
  Speaker 13: also making money for the organization. So I think it
• 48:27
  Speaker 13: had more so to do with money, more so than race.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: Well, on the side of the announcer, it had everything
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: to do with race because that's what he wrote. But
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: he wrote it as a 15-year-old. And, Brooks, I think
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: the bigger issue for me is, and I'm all about
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: giving people second chances or third chances, you know, in
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: the case of John Moran. I think the issue here
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: is a double standard, but again, do we really want
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: to be a society that's judging people on what they
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: did as a 14- or a 15-year-old kid?
• 49:01
  Speaker 13: Correct, yes. Yeah, I think that's wrong, and that never
• 49:05
  Speaker 13: should have came up. This kid, what he did in
• 49:08
  Speaker 13: his teens should never have came up and bit him
• 49:10
  Speaker 13: in the butt when he's an adult. So I do
• 49:13
  Speaker 13: agree with that. I think the kid should not have
• 49:15
  Speaker 13: been terminated. based on a letter he wrote on social
• 49:19
  Speaker 13: media back when he was a teenager. I mean, that's crazy.
• 49:23
  Speaker 13: But the world we live in, we see it every day.
• 49:26
  Speaker 13: We see craziness like this happening. And like I said,
• 49:31
  Speaker 13: I think it stems also from fear. The organization is
• 49:36
  Speaker 13: scared that people will revoke and stop putting money into
• 49:41
  Speaker 13: their pockets by coming to the game if they keep
• 49:44
  Speaker 13: this guy on, which I don't think it would have
• 49:48
  Speaker 13: did any damage to them by keeping him on.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. And I mean, there's absolutely nothing
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: in this guy's history as an adult professional that that
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: would imply that he's some sort of a closet racist
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: or whatever. There's just nothing there. Again, it was just
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: something stupid. You're right as a kid. Look, the trailblazers
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: could have actually done something good for society, which is
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: to come out and say, you know what? It's something
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: he wrote as a 15-year-old. What does this have to
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: do with present day? And just move on from there.
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: And now we understand they're doubling down, so they're not
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: going to rehire this guy You know, they're going to
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: go in a different direction. But I feel bad. 29
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: years old and his career right now is over.
• 50:36
  Speaker 13: Yeah, and that's sad. And, you know, we've got to
• 50:39
  Speaker 13: keep him and his family prayed up because I think
• 50:44
  Speaker 13: he was done wrong. So I do agree with that.
• 50:47
  Speaker 13: When I was listening to you and I heard you
• 50:50
  Speaker 13: mention John Moran and this kid in the same– same sentence,
• 50:55
  Speaker 13: I just didn't agree with that portion of the talk.
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, that's fine. And Ja, of course, got
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: traded from the Grizzlies to Portland, and we were here,
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: you know, we love the Grizzlies. Ja Morant was, you know,
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: given a lot of grace in Memphis as he was
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: going through, you know, all of his issues here. And,
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: you know, it was a tough time, I think, for everybody.
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: But that's the thing is that there was a measure
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: of grace afforded to him and not to this other guy.
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: And to your point, you're right. He's a big money player.
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: He's putting butts in the seats. But I think the
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: argument can be made also the broadcasting side of it.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: They make a lot of money with that as well,
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: and you want to make sure you have somebody that's
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: good doing that too.
• 51:43
  Speaker 11: Correct.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: Correct. Brooks, great call. Thank you for that, and appreciate
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: you listening to the program on our affiliate there, WDUN.
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: Great people there in Gainesville, Georgia. All right, 901-260-5926, our
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: You know, I remember the– oh, by the way, wait, wait, wait.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: Where is this? We've had the audio here. Yes, Dr. Oz.
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: Remember how I said– what was it, a couple of
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: weeks ago? I said that President Trump needed more advisors
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: from Mayberry instead of Mar-a-Lago. Remember when I said that? Well,
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: this is a great example of why I said that. Dr. Oz–
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: On Laura Ingram's show on Fox News, cut number three, please.
• 52:42
  Speaker 15: So you have no idea what things are going to cost.
• 52:44
  Speaker 15: I brought you something as an example. You went grocery shopping,
• 52:46
  Speaker 15: stick of butter, bag of peanuts. Butter in America, that's
• 52:49
  Speaker 15: about a buck for a stick like this. If I
• 52:52
  Speaker 15: charge you $ 10. Or are you shopping? It's not a buck,
• 52:54
  Speaker 15: it's a four. I just bought this, so it's close
• 52:57
  Speaker 15: to that. Maybe it's going bad.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, you've got butter, it's what, four bucks? Three to
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: four bucks. For a pound of butter, you get the
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: four sticks. Oh, what's the one without the Indian chick?
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: They got rid of the Indian chick.
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: Are you talking about margarine or real butter?
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, no, no. I don't do that margarine. I
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: do the real butter. The Land O' Lakes. Land O' Lakes.
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know why. I'm very– I was going to
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: say anal about this. It's Land O'Lakes Filet O'Fish. You
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: got to get the O in there.
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: Both are very delicious.
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: It's like, how do you say the little berry, the
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: little red berry? How do you say that?
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: I have no idea.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: You know, it's the R. It begins with R. How
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: do you say it?
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: Raspberry?
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: No, that's not how you say it. It's rasp. Raspberry.
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. There's a P there.
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: Raspberry.
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: Well, I was just, you know, phonetically, I could say raspberry.
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: Raspberry.
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: I don't think I've ever eaten a raspberry.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: And there's nothing better than, you know, you've got your
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: sunbeam or the bunny bread.
• 54:09
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: You've got your bunny bread. You get some toast. You
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: spread some Land O'Lakes over it. And then you schmear
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: the toast with raspberry jam.
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: Sounds pretty good.
• 54:19
  Speaker 9: Mm-hmm.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: What are we even talking about today? All that to say,
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: the guy's clueless. He doesn't know how much butter costs.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: And if you're going to get out there and you're
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: going to talk to the American people about how things
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: aren't all that bad at the grocery store, when in
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: fact they are, by the way, you got to get
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: your facts straight. Then I just saw this story about
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: Sean Hannity. Hannity's got a podcast called Hangout with Sean Hannity.
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: And he had Dr. Drew Pinsky on, and they're talking
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: about the pandemic. And this is what really bugs me
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: about the Fox News crowd, because they get paid so
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: much money that they really lose their sense of who
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: they really are. And Sean Hannity gives us an example
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: of this. This is from Mediaite. Sean Hannity says he
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: was pressured to push COVID vaccines on his viewers, even
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: though he was uncomfortable doing so. That, ladies and gentlemen,
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: tells you everything you need to know about the talking
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: heads over at Fox. I've got to take a break.
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: I'll have more to say about this later. This is
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: the Todd Stearns Radio Show. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: a word of a medical crisis that is now apparently
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: spreading across the United States. No, it's not the plague.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: That's over in Russia. No, there is a clinical term
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: for all of you who believe that Trump wants Iran
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: to vaporize. San Diego and Los Angeles, you are a libertard.
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: So that's... I don't know. No, I don't know what they're–
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's a cure for that. It's sort
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: of like stage four TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome. It's once
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: you get to stage four, I mean, there's really not much.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: I guess we can make it comfortable, but that's about it.
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: So my condolences. You all right there, Dylan?
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just wondering how many people I need to add
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: to my prayer list.
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know. We're on many right now, I can
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: tell you that much. Absolutely. Let's go to the Patriot
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: Mobile Newsmaker line. I am so excited to talk to Josh. Josh,
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: it's been like a year. It feels like a year
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: since we've had you back on the show.
• 56:54
  Speaker 16: I know it's been a busy season, but we're getting close.
• 56:57
  Speaker 16: Only 27 more days to the election, so hopefully it'll
• 57:00
  Speaker 16: start slowing down here soon.
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: Josh Jones, our chief political strategist, and we're knee-deep in politics.
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: By the way, when I was out in California at
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: the conference, I had three people come up and ask,
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: what's Josh Jones like? I said, he's a nice guy.
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: He's a good guy. He's smart. So you have fans.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it. I'm just saying, you got fans. Josh,
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: let's talk politics. I'm talking to a lot of people
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: out there. And many of them are members of Congress
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: that are Republican. And they are freaking out. And they're
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: freaking me out because I actually think we're going to
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: do okay. But then again, I may be off base here.
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: So you're in the know. What say you?
• 57:45
  Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, look, candidates are always going to freak
• 57:47
  Speaker 16: out because it's their name on the ballot. So naturally,
• 57:49
  Speaker 16: they're going to be a little bit more on edge
• 57:51
  Speaker 16: than the rest of us.
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: But look, I mean, November, if you listen to the polling,
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: it could be pretty bleak for Republicans.
• 57:58
  Speaker 16: But as of right now, if you go back and
• 58:00
  Speaker 16: look at 2016, the polling said Trump was going to
• 58:02
  Speaker 16: lose the presidential election and obviously won by a landslide.
• 58:05
  Speaker 16: So you can't always put all your stock in the polling.
• 58:08
  Speaker 16: With that being said, these races are super competitive and
• 58:11
  Speaker 16: a lot of them across the country are genuinely toss-ups. So,
• 58:14
  Speaker 16: I mean, if you're a Republican, you have to get
• 58:16
  Speaker 16: out and vote. Democrats are fired up. They're going to
• 58:19
  Speaker 16: show up to vote. And if Republicans don't reciprocate that,
• 58:21
  Speaker 16: then we're going to lose.
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to– and I want to sort of–
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: meander through this. But let's talk, first of all, something
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: that concerns you. Is there something that concerns you about
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: where the Republicans are right now?
• 58:36
  Speaker 16: Yeah, look, I mean, a lot of the MAGA-based America
• 58:39
  Speaker 16: First Republicans are very anti-war. And this Iran war has
• 58:44
  Speaker 16: put a real damper on their enthusiasm for the Republican Party,
• 58:47
  Speaker 16: subsequently the president as well.
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: So look, that's something that, you.
• 58:52
  Speaker 16: Know, A year ago, we might not have anticipated heading
• 58:55
  Speaker 16: into the midterms that we've had to deal with over
• 58:57
  Speaker 16: the last six to nine months once the campaign cycle
• 59:01
  Speaker 16: really got going. So I think that is something that
• 59:05
  Speaker 16: Republicans need to be aware of and take note of
• 59:08
  Speaker 16: in terms of you know, how that affects our voters' enthusiasm.
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: Now, on the other side of that, is there something
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: that you're like, okay, this is actually good news for
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: the Republicans?
• 59:18
  Speaker 16: Yeah, it's how crazy the Democrats are for some of
• 59:20
  Speaker 16: these candidates they've put up. Look, the Democrat Party, you know,
• 59:24
  Speaker 16: it's been a longtime Republican talking point that they're running
• 59:26
  Speaker 16: further and further to the left. But you've seen it
• 59:28
  Speaker 16: in this election, unlike any other, where they're nominating self-described
• 59:32
  Speaker 16: and affiliated socialists, which is essentially communists. And they're running
• 59:36
  Speaker 16: these candidates not only in deep blue districts, you know,
• 59:39
  Speaker 16: like in New York with AOC, but they're running them
• 59:41
  Speaker 16: in Michigan, a swing state that the president won in 2024.
• 59:45
  Speaker 16: So I think that's something that Republicans need to center
• 59:48
  Speaker 16: this election around, you know, beyond affordability and everything else.
• 59:51
  Speaker 16: is look at these people that the Democrats are nominating.
• 59:53
  Speaker 16: These are not, you know, American patriots, to put it lightly.
• 59:57
  Speaker 16: These are people who fundamentally disagree with our system of
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 16: government and our culture and fundamentally want to rip it
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 16: up by the roots. And, you know, this is an
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 16: election where Republicans need to draw a contrast with this
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 16: new Democratic Party of, you know, these are socialists who
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 16: hate our country versus, you know, the Republicans who are
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 16: trying to preserve what the founders started.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering if you're hearing from younger voters who Are
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: they turned off? You know, there have been some of
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: the Republican candidates, and let's just say they've got scandals
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: in their past. You know, maybe they weren't faithful to
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: their wives or whatever. Does that have an impact with
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: younger voters, or are they willing to look beyond that
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: and look more towards policy?
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 16: I think it's, you know, there's not a one-size-fits-all answer here,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 16: but candidate equality matters. I mean, if you look at
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 16: the polling that's reflected, some of these red states are
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 16: you know, Democrats are polling better than they traditionally would
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 16: because of, you know, the candidate quality of the Republican
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 16: and the Democrat on the ballot. And I think that
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 16: speaks to, you know, the internal process within the primaries is, look,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 16: everybody has opinions where a big temp party is different
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 16: kinds of Republicans. But after that nomination process happens, you
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 16: have to rally around the Republican nominee, regardless if you
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 16: agree with them 100%. Because look, someone you agree with 80%
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 16: of the time is still someone that's on your side versus,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 16: the Democrat who you maybe agree with 5% of the time.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 16: So if you don't get your preferred choice, you still
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 16: have to vote for the Republicans.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes. I love this. Look, I've been screaming this
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: from the mountaintops, and I'm as conservative as they come,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: and I've had to hold my nose and vote for Republicans.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: that were probably Democrats, but still, they had an R
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: after their name, and they won their primary, so they
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: get my vote. And I am so tired of both sides, Josh.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: I feel like we're in the middle. There are those
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: of us in the middle here. You've got the MAGA
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: folks screaming at us. You've got the establishment folks screaming
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: at us. And you know what? If we keep dividing ourselves,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: we're going to lose. I mean, it's really that simple.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 16: I The time to voice your differences, run your candidates
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 16: is the primary. But after that's over, look, at the
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 16: end of the day, we're also Republicans. Even that person
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 16: who maybe you really didn't want them to win and
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 16: you did everything you could to stop them from winning
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 16: the primary, if they win that, suck it up, vote
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 16: for them.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 4: And the next primary, guess what?
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 16: You get another shot to nominate who you like.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: Josh Jones, our chief political strategist, joining us on our
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Josh, any surprises? I mean, you've
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: been doing politics for a while now. Anything unusual or
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: really stand out on this election cycle?
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 16: Yeah, I think what people need to look for in
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 16: this election cycle is if you go back to the
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 16: 2024 result, Trump won young people and Latinos by very
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 16: large margins. And I think what this election will be
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 16: a good indicator of is where are those groups at now?
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 16: Young people, you know, are traditionally a little bit more isolation,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 16: especially those Republicans. So, you know, how much is the
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 16: Iran war going to push them away from the party?
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 16: And with Latinos, kind of the same thing. Latinos, you know,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 16: swung for Trump in 2024 and frankly won over a
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 16: lot of voters in some very competitive states, in the
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 16: swing states that Kamala, I thought she was going to
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 16: perform better, but the Latinos pushed Trump over. So I
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 16: think people need to pay attention to where those voters
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 16: land this November, because that's a winning coalition for the
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 16: Republicans that we need to retain. And I think Marco
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 16: Rubio has done a good job, you know, being a
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 16: messenger for us on that issue. But that's something that
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 16: people need to be aware of.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: Wow. That's a good word. What are you going to
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: be doing election day? Are you with any particular candidate
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: or are you in D.C.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 16: TBD, we'll see how the dust settles over the next
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 16: week or two. That'll decide where I'll be. But likely
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 16: I'll be in Texas somewhere. I work with a host
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 16: of congressional candidates down there. So I'll be somewhere in Texas.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 16: Not sure where exactly, but somewhere down there.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 11: Wow.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: All right. Josh, you've done a remarkable job. I know
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: that your candidates are blessed to have you on their team.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: And we really do appreciate the great analysis you give
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: us every Tuesday. Thanks, Don.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 9: I appreciate it.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: All right. Josh Jones, everybody. Good man and a good
• 1:04:09

  Speaker 6: All right.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Starnes Radio Show.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you, John Kennedy really angered me
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: when he came out over the weekend and he's piling
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: on President Trump. There's a big battle between Tom Cotton,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: who refused to budge on daylight saving time, and Cotton
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: is just being a jerk about it all. Let me
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: just say something about Tom Cotton, and I wanted to
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: mention this earlier in the show. So we have a
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: lot of lawmakers that want to come on this program,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: and especially in the southern states. And they know we
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: have a lot of stations that carry the show. But one,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: only one law, Mississippi. You've got Arkansas, Tennessee. But one
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: senator refuses to come on KWAM Newsradio and also on
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: our national show, and that is Senator Tom Cotton from Arkansas.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: And I think you folks over in Arkansas need to
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: know that about your senator. He really doesn't care what
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: you think at all, and he refuses to answer any
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: tough questions. And that's what he does. So along comes
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: Senator John Kennedy. And by the way, John Kennedy is
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: looking at running for the White House in 2028. He's
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: going to be older than Donald Trump if he got elected.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: But my question for you is, do you see John
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: Kennedy as a viable candidate? I mean, you've got Ted Cruz,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: who's all but thrown in. You've got John Kennedy now.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: I would say Ron DeSantis, maybe Glenn Youngkin, the former
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: governor of Virginia, very successful. You've got J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: could be a big field of Republicans. But does John
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: Kennedy strike you as someone who is presidential? Because, again,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: back in 2007, this guy was, what, 55 years old?
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: He was still a Democrat, which means he was pro-abortion.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: That's who this guy is. That was the party. So
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: I would love to understand how a guy who's for
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: over half of his life was a Democrat, how does
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: that guy become a Republican now? And when you go
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: back and watch, and they've done a lot of stories
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: about this. I'm not speaking out the wazoo here, folks.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: They've done a lot of stories about how this guy
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: has a fake accent, kind of like Hillary Clinton. Why
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: no time, no ways, when I'm picking cotton out there
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: in the fields of Mississippi. And that's Hillary Clinton. Whenever
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: she goes to a black church, she pulls out her purse,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: she takes out the hot sauce, she downs a couple
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: of jars of the hot sauce, and then she starts
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: preaching like a black woman. You're like, what's going on here?
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: And so that's who John Kennedy is. And they're fakes
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: and they're phonies. Well, Todd, I just, bless your heart,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: you just, you're just a rabble rouser. You're just a cattywampus.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: I'm about worn slap out from you. Todd, we just
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: need to go and we need to fellowship around some
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: fried chicken. And we'll just eat on that there fried
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: chicken until we're just full as a tick. full as
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: a tick on a hound dog. You're like, nobody talks
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: like that. Not even in Arkansas. No, that's a joke.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: That's a joke. We love Arkansas. These people... You know,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: politicians are going to lie. I guess that's their nature, right?
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: But you just have to step back and you're like, dude, really?
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: Come on now. I mean, at the very least, you
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: can put on a fake Cajun accent. Let me tell
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: you something. Down in Cajun country, they'll call you out. Yeah,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: they'll throw you in one of those bayous. I'm just saying. 901-260-5926,
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. Dylan, I'm going to ask
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: you a question. Did you ever have a weird hairstyle
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: in your high school years, or did you do anything weird?
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 4: Yes, Todd, I did.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 5: I hairsprayed exclusively the back of my head, and I
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 5: kept the front of my hair kind of swoopy.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 5: I did, because I thought that the back of my
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 5: head was standing up. But it's really just because I
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 5: have thick hair.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, gotcha. You know, Dalton Glasscock, who's the CEO, had
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: Justin Bieber hair growing up.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 4: Well, so did I.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 5: And I think that was the fancy, that was the
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 5: cool thing to do in 2013, 2014. But yeah, the
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 5: hairspray thing, I don't really know what my mom was thinking.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 5: You know, I can't put it on my mom because
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 5: I'm the one that sprayed my own hair. So maybe
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 5: just no one told me.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: When I was in high school, first of all, high
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: school feathered right down the middle. I look good. Feather,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: and I had the Izod shirt, and then the sweater
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: tied around when it was like 100 degrees outside.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 4: It's like country club.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: And then in college, someone dared me, a bunch of
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: buddies that I went to church with dared me to
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: get a perm. I really strayed here. And so I
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: don't know what happened, but the perm only took halfway,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: and it looked like I had a toupee.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: It's not a good look.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 4: That's tough.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I never went the mullet route or the mohawk route.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 4: It was more normal, but yeah, it wasn't super great
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 4: in high school.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: I want to tell you about Kelly Carnes, Dylan. She
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: was the executive director of the Baltimore Rock Opera Society,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: and she went to Burning Man. And when she went
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: to Burning Man, she decided to have her hair done
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: up in cornrows to protect her hair.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: She's a white woman, and she had cornrows. And now
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: she is out of a job. She was fired. She
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: said she had put her hair into cornrows as a
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: protective hairstyle while attending Burning Man in Nevada after she
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: returned a video showing her with the hairstyle at a
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: bros event. That's what they call the Baltimore Rock Opera
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: Society bros. After a bros event, the video surfaced, and
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: it prompted complaints that a white woman wearing cornrows constituted
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: cultural appropriation. And she acknowledged the backlash, and the video
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: was removed, but then the community was not satisfied, and
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: she had to go because she culturally appropriated. Now, I
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: just have a question. If that's the case, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: what about all those black chicks with long blonde hair?
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: When do they lose their jobs? You know, I should
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: try cornrows. That might be a good look.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 4: And go to Burning Man.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 5: So literally, out of all the things that you could
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 5: possibly see at Burning Man, that is the last thing
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 5: to be offended by. They don't even wear clothes there.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 5: There's a bunch of naked people walking around.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 4: Right now.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones here. Jeff in Memphis, Tennessee. Jeff,
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: I take it you don't have cornrows.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 5: I do not.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 6: I'm actually wearing a ball cap today. It's a bad
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 6: hair day.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: What's going on, Jeff?
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 6: I'm calling in just a quick comment, and I'll get
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 6: off the line about miscellaneous comments that have been said today. One,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 6: the clip about Trump's comment about Southern California and bombs
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 6: and so on, obviously taken out of context. However, there
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 6: is a phrase or a refrain in there about Americans
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 6: don't mind paying higher costs or paying for... I forget
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 6: the exact quote, but Anyway, higher prices and justifying the war.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 6: There's a little bit of a difference, I think, in
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 6: Americans sacrificing at World War II in a congressionally declared war.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 6: They endured rationing, et cetera, et cetera, because it was
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 6: a combined war effort. Our recent use of the military
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 6: has been more executive action. It didn't require anybody's approval
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 6: except the president and his cabinet. So I think there's
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 6: a fundamental difference. Americans don't mind sacrificing when there's a
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 6: larger cause that unites Americans.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: Jeff, I think that's a great point you raise. And unfortunately,
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: the computer is going to cut us off, my friend.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: I'm terribly sorry for that. But it's a good point
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: you raise. Folks, hang tight. Don't go anywhere. We'll be
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: right back.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: From Memphis, Tennessee. On the banks of the mighty Mississippi.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: It's America's conservative blowtorch.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: That's us, that's right.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 12: I love this American ride.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: Todd Starnes.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: How does it feel to be a star, Jimmy Stewart?
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: It's the best feeling in the world.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 9: Hi, Dad.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 13: Jim, I see in the paper you won some kind
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 13: of award.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 14: That's good, right?
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: That's real good.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 15: They've already spotted U-boats off of New Jersey.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 9: The war's coming to us, Jim, whether we like it
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 9: or not. I'm drafted.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 4: One snap, that letter is forgotten.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 14: Sir, don't I have the right to serve my country
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 14: just like anyone else does?
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 4: America can't afford to lose Jimmy Stewart.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: Jim, you're just not cut out for it. Make peace
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: with the fact that you are what you are.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 15: Something to remember us all by.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: Come home safe, James.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: Good evening, sir.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 9: Name?
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 11: Stewart.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 4: Captain Stewart.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 12: Untitled and shot!
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 4: I saw that in a movie.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, gosh darn it really works.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 11: I've seen your films.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 6: Say.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 7: I'd like to know, is the man on screen the
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 7: same man here with me?
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: I've done that scene in so many movies.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 9: But this isn't a movie.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: This is my life.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 4: Leave those men behind.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 9: It's... Not an easy decision. Do you think I'm a
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 9: good man?
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 11: I heard about what happened.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: That's a long drop, mister.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 15: Say, ain't you Jimmy Stewart, the actor?
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: I used to be.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 14: How'd you like to be him again?
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: That's a wonderful line.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 4: I don't think I can do it.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: Who else, Jim? Who else can do that but you?
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 14: Someone once told me that being famous is like being
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 14: a god.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be a god. I'd like to
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: be able to look at myself in the mirror and
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: see a good man looking back at me. You know,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: normally when the movies come out and there's a movie
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: I really want to see, I wait until it comes
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: out on Apple so I can just watch it at home.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: This is not one of those movies. I'm actually going
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: to go to a movie theater to watch the incredible
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: story of the life of the great Jimmy Stewart. The
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: name of the movie is called Jimmy, and it'll be
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: in theaters coming up in November, and we are honored
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: to have the director of the movie joining us on
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line, Aaron Burns. Aaron, congratulations, a
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: job well done, and what a beautiful story and movie
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: about Jimmy Stewart's life.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 14: Thank you so much. Thanks for coming to support it
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 14: in theaters. And I'm just thrilled to be able to
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 14: share this story that's moved my heart with the rest
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 14: of America here in a couple of months.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: You know, I think I'm especially excited for America's young people.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: You know, Generation Z has been compared to the greatest generation.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: And for them to be introduced to Jimmy Stewart, a
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: man who was not only a Hollywood movie star, but
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: he was also an American war hero.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 14: It's incredible. We've all seen It's a Wonderful Life. And
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 14: that movie is coming up on 80 years old. But
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 14: every year it speaks to our hearts about the value
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 14: of every human and that there's a bigger plan in
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 14: your life. It just brings that hope and that inspiration
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 14: and that joy. But it's a long time ago that
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 14: that movie came out. And I think for me, having
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 14: watched that movie so much growing up, knowing who Jimmy
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 14: Stewart was, but knowing nothing about him, chance for me
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 14: to dive into his life and see that he was
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 14: a wonderful husband and father. He was a soldier and
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 14: a patriot who served. He put his money where his
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 14: mouth was and he put his service where his mouth was.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 14: That for me is a chance to share the story
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 14: with the next generation. And I'm excited that my kids
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 14: get to watch this movie and hopefully be inspired to
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 14: live like Jimmy did.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: Aaron, I'm interested in knowing how you came about doing
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: this particular project, and where do you even start? Because
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: he had just such a phenomenal life.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 14: So, Probably five years ago, I stumbled across an article
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 14: that said that the first movie Jimmy came back from
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 14: after serving in World War II was It's a Wonderful Life,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 14: and that the process of making It's a Wonderful Life
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 14: began his spiritual healing from PTSD. And I said, whoa,
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 14: wait a second. Jimmy Stewart fought in World War II?
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 14: You've got to be kidding me. I had no idea.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 14: So that began a journey for me to dive into
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 14: his story, and I discovered that. And, you know, honestly,
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 14: I think his story is more interesting than many of
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 14: the movies he made. So he's born in small town, Indiana, Pennsylvania.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 14: His dad was kind of this Bible thumping, you know,
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 14: conservative guy. But Jimmy heads off to Hollywood and winds
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 14: up hitting it big. And now he's this giant movie
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 14: star who's pretending to be a hero, but feeling kind
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 14: of empty inside because he's not really living it up,
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 14: backing it up. So he sees War Claws on the Horizon,
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 14: chooses to enlist. fights his way through the ranks, fights
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 14: his way out of the studio system, and winds up
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 14: becoming a squadron commander flying 20 missions over Germany and
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 14: wins the war. Amazing pilot, amazing commander, but comes home
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 14: totally broken. And of course, with the movie that we
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 14: all know, It's a Wonderful Life, Jimmy wrote that that
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 14: scene at Martini's bar where he's praying became a real
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 14: moment of transformation for him. So I discovered all of
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 14: that and then reached out to Jimmy's daughter, Kelly, and
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 14: she agreed to join our project. And we were working
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 14: with her as an executive producer. And it's been just
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 14: the joy of a lifetime to get to tell this story.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting that he was also an older guy.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, he had already had a great career in
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: Hollywood before he joined the military and fought in World
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: War II. And this is a guy in his early 30s.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: He wasn't a spring chicken when it comes to serving
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: in the military. He was a guy in his 30s.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 14: That's right. And interestingly, he had always had a love
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 14: for flying. He had earned his private pilot's license, a
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 14: commercial pilot's license. And when he first went to join,
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 14: they said he's too thin. So they rejected him. The
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 14: studio got him out of his draft notice. Then the
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 14: military said, you're too thin. So he ate a bunch
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 14: of ice cream and fattened up, got into the military.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: As a private.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 14: But they quickly realized that, yeah, unlike some of the
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 14: other guys, he had leadership experience. He was a great
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 14: communicator and a great pilot. So he rapidly rose through
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 14: the ranks. And as you'll see in the film, he's
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 14: a really amazing leader of those men on those missions
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 14: that he flew.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: We're honored to be speaking with Aaron Burns today on
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line, director of the incredible film
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: coming out about the life of Jimmy Stewart. I'm just
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: so impressed with K.J. Apa, who came to fame as
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: Archie Andrews in Riverdale. And here he is, and honest
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: to goodness, you think he really is Jimmy Stewart.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 14: It was wild when we first did what we call
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 14: a table read early on in the process. You have
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 14: all the cast, and many of them are over Zoom.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 14: You're reading the script.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 9: Our art department, who was prepping.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 14: We built the B-24 that Jimmy flies in. We built
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 14: the air bases, all this stuff. They were out working.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 14: They had a computer open. We're listening into our table read.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 14: And the team said, what Jimmy Stewart movie are you watching?
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 14: We said, no, this is our movie. This is KJ.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 14: And it was just such an amazing performance that he gives.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 14: And when we first announced we were going to do
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 14: the project, a producer friend of mine texted me and
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 14: he said, congrats. Don't screw it up because it's a
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 14: high bar. I mean, Jimmy is everybody's favorite actor. And
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 14: he made everybody's favorite Christmas movie. So we took it
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 14: really seriously, the challenge of telling Jimmy's story accurately and authentically.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 14: And KJ brought that to the role as well. Working
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 14: from the inside out is just transformation to truly embody Jimmy,
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 14: to embody his heart. And then you get into the
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 14: details of how he talked, how he moved, what he
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 14: looked like, all those other pieces. And he committed himself
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 14: to it. And I think in the first two or
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 14: three minutes of watching the movie, you'll just get lost
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 14: into the character. and enjoy going on the adventure with Jimmy.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering if you, is there anything, I know you
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: mentioned his military service. Was there something, you know, as
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: you're doing research and you're doing a deep dive into
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Stewart, was there something that really surprised you, something
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: maybe you did not know about Jimmy Stewart?
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I'll say the military piece was huge for me.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 14: Of course, you know that he's a fantastic actor, but how,
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 14: I'll say two things. One, how that experience happened shaped him.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 14: So when you're watching It's a Wonderful Life, you see
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 14: these very deep emotional scenes where the kids are crying
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 14: and Jimmy's yelling and you feel the tension. Those came
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 14: from deep within him. He wasn't performing. He was drawing
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 14: on that experience as he shared his life story with
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 14: us through the character of George Bailey and many of
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 14: the other characters that he betrayed after that. The second
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 14: thing I discovered was When you start talking to people
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 14: and telling them you're making the story about the life
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 14: of Jimmy Stewart, out of the woodwork, so many people
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 14: came to me to tell me stories about how Jimmy
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 14: Stewart impacted their lives. Every person you meet that interacted
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 14: with Jimmy has something nice to say about him, or
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 14: he paid for my dad's mortgage, or he gave a
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 14: scholarship to this person, or he continued to serve in
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 14: the military after World War II in the reserves for
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 14: another 20 years. And a lot of times you think,
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 14: you know, there's the old saying, don't get too close
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 14: to your heroes or you'll be disappointed. That wasn't the
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 14: case with Jimmy. When I dug down, I found a
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 14: real human who struggled with flaws and brokenness and grief
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 14: and doubt, but also a genuine man and a man
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 14: who loved his wife, who loved his kids, who loved
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 14: his country, who had a strong personal faith and sense
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 14: of morals. and was just profoundly blessed by getting to
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 14: spend time with this true American hero.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: JimmyTheMovie.com is the website, everybody, and I encourage you to go.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: You're going to get information, all sorts of information. Also,
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: one of the great things is that Aaron, I understand
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: you guys are partnering with VetTix, which is a veteran-led
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: 501c3 giving service members, first responders, Gold Star families the
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: chance to see Jimmy through donated tickets, and all of
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: that is tax-deductible, and you're going to be able to
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: check that out over on the website for the movie, jimmythemovie.com.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: And we're going to be promoting this. I saw the screener,
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: and it's just a phenomenal film. I know our audience
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: is going to love it. And Aaron, we look forward
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: to getting more folks on from the film as we
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: get closer to movie day.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 14: Wonderful. Can't wait to see you all in the theaters.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 2: Aaron Burns, everybody, director of Jimmy the Movie, jimmythemovie.com. You're
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: going to want to go and check out this one.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: This is a movie for the entire family. All right,
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: got to take a quick break. This is the Todd
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: Stern Show.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: I want to go right away to the Patriot Mobile
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: Newsmaker line. Say hello to our good friend, Jason Raypert.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: He is the founder and president of the National Association
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: of Christian Lawmakers, an incredible organization which I am honored
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: to be a part of. Jason, hope you're doing well today,
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: my friend.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 9: I'm doing great, Todd. Thank you for having me on.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 9: We appreciate all you do.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: Jason, we got to jump into this. When I saw
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: your post about the future farmers of America, I nearly
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: lost my lunch. Tell us what's going on, because there's
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: a group called the Fellowship of Christian Farmers International, and
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: they wanted to be a part of some sort of
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: an FFA organization. What happened? Give us the story.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 9: Well, it's very interesting and it's shocking, Todd, to be
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 9: honest with you, after all of the progress made around
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 9: the country on getting rid of the woke and DEI
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 9: policies that they're having to deal with is still today,
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 9: and especially in light of it being the Future Farmers
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 9: of America. So what's happening is that over the last
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 9: several years, many, many years, this Fellowship of Christian Farmers
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 9: has been a part of the different FFA conventions, especially
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 9: the national convention, and they've been a part of the
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 9: state conventions. Well, they got booted from the national FFA
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 9: convention and told that they couldn't participate anymore. And then
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 9: they stated further that they wouldn't allow any political or
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 9: any religious group to do so. And claiming that this
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 9: was some sort of violation, they couldn't do it. Well, Todd,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 9: the FFA is not the government, right?
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 9: It can do what it wants to do. And so
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 9: I actually got a call last night, very timely, because
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 9: if you want to discuss this, from the executive director
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 9: of the Fellowship of Christian Farmers International. And he laid
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 9: out for me, and we're going to be helping them,
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 9: because he laid out for me that they were literally
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 9: disinvited as far back as 2018 and said that they
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 9: were disinvited because they did not meet the DEI requirements
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 9: of the entity. And this began a chain reaction that
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 9: ended up causing this entity to be disinvited from multiple
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 9: states as well. Now, get this, Todd. He told me
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 9: the state of Texas is still keeping them out. Texas?
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 9: I mean, come on. I've told him that the NACL
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 9: is going to help him get in touch with leaders
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 9: in Texas to look at this But he specifically said Texas, Illinois, Iowa.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 9: Oregon had kicked them out, but now they're back in
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 9: because they paid a fee. And then Ohio, Minnesota. But
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 9: there's several states that are now following suit with the
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 9: national FFA and keeping them out. And simply what they
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 9: wanted to do is have a presence. I mean, these
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 9: are farmers around the country as well as having some
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 9: international partners. But they do humanitarian work. They help with
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 9: disaster work, but they also do this openly as Christians
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 9: who are also farmers. And so from what I can
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 9: tell at this point, and this I think is going
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 9: to be a developing story more and more, is that
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 9: this entity has been targeted for some reason or another
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 9: by the National FFA, and basically they've been trying to
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 9: boot them out of having a presence. The NACL told
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 9: them we'd love for them to come. The director, Dan Jansen,
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 9: is going to come to our meeting December the 7th,
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 9: 8th in Washington, D.C. He's going to speak to our
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 9: body on this issue. And the NACL is going to
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 9: do our best to start helping them ask questions and
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 9: hopefully be able to turn the tide on this. It's ridiculous, Todd.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: Well, it's just nuts. I'm curious. You mentioned the whole DEI.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: Do we know what they were talking about?
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 9: Well... I can tell you one thing. As a matter
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 9: of fact, the gentleman told me, and I encourage you, Todd,
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 9: I'm happy to connect you. I think you should have
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 9: him on your program as well. But he actually got
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 9: a call from a homeschool mom in Illinois just recently.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 9: And this homeschool mom, there is an avenue for those
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 9: homeschoolers to be involved in FFA around the country. And
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 9: so in Illinois, she has advised him that her children
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 9: would be required to to watch an LGBTQ style video
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 9: through the FFA and sign off that they have sat
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 9: through this and understand it before they could participate in
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 9: the different competitions, okay? So basically, it's forcing all of
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 9: your children to have to be exposed to what they've deemed.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 9: And by the way, if you're not going to have
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 9: political groups and you're not going to have religious groups,
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 9: Why are you forcing people to listen to a religious group,
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 9: which the LGBTQ people absolutely are zealots and want to
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 9: convert everybody in the world to their worldview? I'm puzzled
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 9: by this. He's going to further inform us on this, Todd.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 9: But what I feel is happening is that you've got
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 9: a group of people that have forgotten. We're not going
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 9: to put up with this anymore in America. The NACL
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 9: has taken a strong stand on it. I know that
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 9: you've taken a stand. President Trump has taken a stand
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 9: on this. And I hope that Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins,
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 9: Senator John Bozeman, Chair of Senate Ag Committee, Representative Thompson
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 9: from Pennsylvania, Chair of the House Ag Committee, this needs
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 9: the attention because this is wrong. And it actually sullies
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 9: the history and heritage of the FFA, which always acknowledged
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 9: God when I was a participant in it.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: All right, Jason, we're going to have to leave it there,
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: but again, we are going to be all over this story. Look,
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: it's one thing for country girls and boys to be
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 2: getting down on the farm, but what they're suggesting is
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: just downright nasty, and that's just not right. So we're
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: going to jump on this, Jason. We appreciate you bringing
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: this to our attention. Jason Rapert, who is the founder
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: and president of the National Association of Christian Lawmakers... Unbelievable,
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: Hang tight. Got to take a break. We'll be right back.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 2: Let's talk to Mary Walter, the queen of radio and
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 2: podcasting and an all-around great chick. Mary, good day. You know, Mary,
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 2: I'm just in a good mood today. I've been away
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 2: for 10 days, and it's good to be back behind
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: the microphone and hang out with you.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 11: It's good to have you back, although I will say
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 11: that I did enjoy being on with Chris Salcedo last
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 11: week because he is one of my favorite people filling
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 11: in for one of my favorite people. Does it get
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 11: better than that?
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. You guys did a great job,
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: and I heard a little of Sal Sato when I
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 2: was out there. The problem on the West Coast is
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 2: my show is 9 to noon, and I had some
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 2: conflicts trying to listen to the show, but it was great.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, you guys sounded great.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 11: Yeah, he's fun. He's just a lot of fun. And
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 11: like I said, two of my favorite people, so I
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 11: was super happy.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 2: Mary, did you survive the, what do they call it,
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 2: the nor'easter? Is that what they call it? It's basically
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 2: like a hurricane with, usually it's with snow, but you
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 2: guys just got pounded. Are you guys okay?
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 11: Well, we did fine. My husband is a dork and
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 11: made sure that we were like on a high piece
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 11: of property. So we did not have flooding even during
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 11: Sandy here. We were like within an inch of water
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 11: coming in the bill code doors during Sandy. But this,
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 11: I would say this was the worst flooding since Sandy.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 11: It went through five high tides. And nor'easters aren't always
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 11: with snow. A lot of times it's rain. So it's
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 11: what you get used to. If you live in the
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 11: mid-Atlantic and New England states, this is one of those
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 11: weather things. You live in other parts of the country,
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 11: you get used to tornadoes. So we're kind of used
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 11: to it. But it was sad because I drive through town,
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 11: you just see the big piles of stuff at the
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 11: curb of everything that was ruined in somebody's house. But fortunately,
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 11: since Sandy, most of the houses here have been lifted up.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 11: So people did get stuff in like crawl spaces and garages.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 11: But unless you didn't lift your house up, then you
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 11: probably did okay in that sense.
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: Well, glad you guys are okay. I was following all that.
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: I was out on the West Coast. I've got to
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: tell you what I did. This is crazy. And I
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 2: really wasn't thinking much about it. But I had a
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 2: free day before my event in San Francisco. So I thought,
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: you know what? I'm going to go over. And I
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: want to see what Berkeley is all about. So yours truly,
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 2: Mary Walter, without any security, drove over to Berkeley and
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 2: walked the streets of Berkeley over the weekend. And it
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: was wild. I have never said, you know, it was
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 2: really like the bar scene out of Star Wars.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 11: I know. So true. Todd, I'm so sorry. But I
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 11: just picture you in like a plaid shirt. With a
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 11: pair of nice pants, with your glasses, just like tootling
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 11: along through Berkeley. And the funny thing is, is like
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 11: you wouldn't be trying, but you're the one who stood
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 11: out because you're dressed like a normal human being.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 4: Oh, I did.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 2: So I walked in. So I'm a big bookstore fan.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 2: I love independent bookstores. So I thought, you know what?
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go over and see if they have
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 2: my book at Moe's Bookstore. Which is apparently next door
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: to the anarchist bookstore, which went out of business. That
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 2: was the big headline is, oh, wow, they're not doing
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 2: well in Berkeley with the anarchy. But right next door
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 2: was Moe's bookstore, and they did not have my book.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: But when I walked in, you could tell they were looking.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: They're like, something's off about this guy. He looks like
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 2: a Republican.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 11: The music stopped on the jukebox, so that's why.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. And it was just a weird vibe,
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 2: and the whole place smelled. I mean, there was garbage everywhere,
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 2: graffiti all over the place, and it really was like
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 2: some sort of, I don't know, a dystopian society.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 11: Yeah, well, that's what they want everywhere. So make sure
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 11: you vote. In less than a month, 30 days, I
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 11: think it is. Make sure you vote, kids, or else
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 11: that can come to your town, too.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 2: It's true. You're absolutely right. By the way, gas over there,
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: the diesel, almost $ 10 a gallon in California.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 2: And about 20% of that price is all of the
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 2: local and state fees.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 11: Yep, exactly. They blame Trump. It's an easy talking point
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 11: to blame Trump. Here in New Jersey... A regular is
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 11: down to $ 4. 13, was the last I saw yesterday. And
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 11: they pump it for you. So you can laugh at
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 11: us all you want for not being able to pump
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 11: our own gas. But $ 4. 13 and a little man comes
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 11: and pumps it for you is delightful.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 2: I thought about you because I always make fun of
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: you for the fact that you people in New Jersey
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: don't know how to pump gas. And I thought about
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 2: you because I was driving up from Los Angeles to
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 2: San Francisco and doing the whole tourist thing. And I
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 2: looked down, I'm like, oh my gosh, I've got to
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: get gas. And so I pull off, and I didn't
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: realize until I pulled in a totally sketch-like exit, because
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 2: it was for the state prison hospital. And so I
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 2: pull in, and I thought, I'm thirsty, I'm going to
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 2: go in and Honest to goodness, Mary, I thought these
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 2: people in here are either recently released prisoners or they
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 2: are escaped prisoners, but I felt like my life was
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 2: in danger. and I thought, man, I miss New Jersey
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 2: where you can have somebody pump your gas and hopefully
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: help you call the cops if you get shot.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 14: Exactly.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 11: Yeah, and you know what? It's so funny with the
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 11: high gas prices, Todd. I'm old enough to remember when
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 11: Democrats were happy that prices were good, but when gas
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 11: prices were expensive under Joe Biden, higher than they are now,
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 11: that was a good thing because it would force people
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 11: to save the environment and drive electric cars. Remember that?
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 11: Remember when it was a good thing? Now, all of
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 11: a sudden, they don't care about the environment because gas
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 11: prices are high, and so we have to use that
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 11: as a cudgel to beat Donald Trump because he should
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 11: bring them down. It doesn't make any sense at all.
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 2: Mary, we've been watching the president doing these rallies, and
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 2: this is my take on it. I'm just telling people,
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: I was on Newsmax earlier today, I said, do not
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: pay attention to the polls. Take a look at these rallies.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: Standing room only, people can't get in. This president is,
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 2: the America First movement, I think, is still alive and well,
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 2: contrary to what we're seeing on TV. What say you?
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 11: So, yes, I think the rallies are great. I wish
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 11: he would not relitigate the 2020 election there at those rallies.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 11: I wish he would put the spotlight on all the
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 11: wonderful things his administration has done so far this year.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 11: They could just have, you know, slides behind him, you know,
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 11: say how many children have been rescued, you know, that
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 11: were in and tell, you know, were they in captivity
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 11: of some kind? Were they being used in, you know,
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 11: work slavery, sex slavery, whatever it was, you know, drive
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 11: those points home. Those things have to get out there.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 11: And so I wish he would kind of shift his
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 11: focus just a tad. But I take that with a
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 11: grain of salt, these rallies not being able to get in.
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 11: That's the base. That's the MAGA base. But there is
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 11: a large chunk of people out there that are not MAGA,
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 11: that are Republicans, have voted for Trump in the past,
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 11: but they're very upset about the war. They are not
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 11: quote unquote MAGA. And you see them in Congress, John Thune,
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 11: I'm looking at you, right? He's, he's one who can't
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 11: wait for Donald Trump to be gone. So I, he's
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 11: got to figure out a way to motivate the independents
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 11: who voted for him. And the, you know, the Democrats
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 11: who were kind of like leaned red a little bit
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 11: and said, all right, I'm going to go with this guy.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 11: He's got to bring them back. And I think the
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 11: only way you do that is not with these rallies
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 11: where he's just saying, you know, talking about Butler again,
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 11: or this or that you, they have to get the
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 11: information out to the people. about all the great things
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 11: this administration has done, and I think they're falling short
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 11: on that.
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 2: Mary Walter joining us on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Mary,
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: I want to switch gears real quick. There's a crazy story,
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 2: and it's about a woman. So you're a woman, so
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 2: I feel like you could be an expert. Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 2: So a lovely woman. This story from Fox News. A
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 2: white executive was fired after wearing cornrows. Now, her name
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 2: is Kelly Carnes, and she was the executive director of
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 2: the Baltimore Rock Opera Society, also known as BROS. And
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 2: she went to Burning Man in Nevada, and to protect
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 2: her hair, she put her hair, she has long hair,
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 2: she put it in cornrows. And a video came out
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 2: showing her at Burning Man, and now she is out
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 2: of a job because they accused her of cultural appropriation.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 2: And so she's, you know, I got to tell you,
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: it's not a good look for her, but still, you know,
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's her hair.
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 11: To be fair, it is a hideous hairstyle on white women.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 11: I don't like it on anybody. I just don't like
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 11: the look. I think there are so many other ways
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 11: you can wear your hair that's much prettier. But, you know,
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 11: Vikings had braids. And if we're going to go about
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 11: cultural appropriation of hair, then every black woman who wears
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 11: a straight-haired wig... is culturally appropriating white hair and Asian hair.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 11: Every black woman who wears a blonde wig is culturally appropriating.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 11: Do they really want to go down that rabbit hole?
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 11: I don't think they do. So I think she's going
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 11: to have a nice little settlement coming her way.
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I hate it for her. I mean, I don't
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 2: know the lady. I don't know her politics. It doesn't
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 2: really matter. Again, I'm fairly certain she did not do
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: this to culturally appropriate, sort of like going into Taco
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 2: Tuesday and And, you know, no, that's not meant as
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: a slight against Hispanic people. You know, we just love
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 2: tacos on Tuesday. But anyway, yeah.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 11: My hunch is they wanted to get rid of her anyway.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 11: And so this was one way to do it. It
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 11: was a dumb way to do it because, like I said,
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 11: they're going to be paying her a nice hefty settlement.
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 2: Fair enough. By the way, speaking, I think it's like
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 2: National Taco Day today, Mary Walter. We were talking about
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 2: it earlier in the staff meeting. Are you a soft
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 2: shell or hard shell taco girl?
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 11: I do not eat the carbs. I just have the filling.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 2: Wait, what? So what does that mean?
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 11: When we make quote-unquote tacos, we get all the ingredients together,
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 11: but we don't put it in a shell or in
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 11: the soft. We just don't put it in the shell
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 11: because we don't eat the carbs.
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 2: That doesn't make any sense. So it's just like, what,
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: a salad? Is that it?
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 11: Yeah, kind of. It's the same thing. It's just a
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 11: different means of conveying it, right?
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 2: Dylan, I don't understand what Mary's talking about here.
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 4: That sounds like torture. Awful.
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: It's like the people who eat the hamburger in a
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 2: shell made of lettuce.
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 11: Or the turkey burger. I do not. I had food
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 11: last night that came in a bun. I said, no bun.
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 11: We never get the bun when we have a hamburger
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 11: or something like that.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 2: Well, we come from a bun family.
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 11: Yes, you do. But that's one of the simplest ways
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 11: to cut calories and carbs right there.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 2: I never would have thought about that. But I mean,
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 2: some people prefer a flaccid taco shell and others a
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 2: rigid taco shell.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I've never had the soft taco shells ever in
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 11: my life. When I was a kid, we would have
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 11: like the hard taco shells. You know, it came in
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 11: the kit from by Ortega.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 4: Remember?
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 11: So that's what my mother would when she wasn't feeling
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 11: like cooking. That's what she would do. And she'd slap
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 11: it on the table and everybody made their own. So
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 11: it was great. But as an adult, I still use
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 11: the same ingredients. It's just it's like ice cream in
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 11: a cup or in a cone. It's the same thing.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 11: This is a taco on a plate or in a shell.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 2: You see, I would disagree. I think it has to
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 2: be in some form of a device. You have to
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 2: have a vessel to put all the stuff. No, you don't.
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 11: You have a fork or a spoon, and the shells
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 11: always break, and you always wind up using a fork
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 11: to get it off your plate anyway.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 2: Not if you have a soft shell.
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 11: Okay, but again, we'll talk carbs.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 2: At a later date. By the way, so what's coming
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 2: up on the big show tonight?
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 11: So my guest bailed. He goes, oh, no, I read
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 11: it wrong. I didn't know it was today. Sure you didn't.
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 11: So anyway, so it's going to be just us. So
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 11: I have a couple of topics. And then I always
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 11: ask the viewers what they want to talk about. We
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 11: throw it out there and off we go. So it's
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 11: one of those type. That's what we're doing.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 2: I love this. Dylan, what are you doing tonight? I mean,
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 2: you can be Mary's guest.
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 4: I don't know if she wants that. No, Mary, you
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 4: don't want me to be your guest.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 11: Why not?
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 4: I run out of things to say fast.
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 11: No, but they ask questions. So it's not like you
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 11: talk for an hour. They ask questions. That's what it's about.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 5: Can I have ChatGPT to help me out when I
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 5: answer them questions?
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 2: Well, they're not.
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 11: It's not like a political quiz. It's just your opinion
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 11: about stuff. And we can talk about what it's like
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 11: to work for Todd.
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 2: Way to say that.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 4: I can do that for hours.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 11: With both Ben and Grace have done that.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, wait a second. Yeah, I don't know about this now.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 2: I'll say this. Your viewers are a lot nicer than
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 2: the C-SPAN. I had to do the C-SPAN thing Sunday morning,
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 2: 45 minutes, and it's like taking leftist after leftist after leftist.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 2: I'm like, sweet mercy, America.
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 11: Wait, so you filled in on C-SPAN and were like
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 11: the host?
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 2: No, the host had me on as a guest, so
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 2: they interviewed me, and then they took calls for 45 minutes.
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 2: Every single caller was a flaming leftist.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 11: Of course.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 11: Because they like C-SPAN because it's free.
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 11: Someone else is paying for it, so they love that.
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 2: And the host was worthless. He was like, you know, Starnes,
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: you're nothing more than a fat slob. Todd, would you
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 2: like to weigh in on that? I'm like, sure.
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 11: It's NPR on television.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 9: Right? It is.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 2: That's a brilliant way of describing it.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 11: Do they have the same tone when they talk?
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 2: All the time.
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 11: Like I said, we listened to an entire hour show
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 11: about ferns on NPR one time because the way they
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 11: speak like this. And those are the ferns over there.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 8: So, Mr.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 11: Starnes, that man called you a fat slob. What would
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 11: you like to say about that?
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 2: That's how we did it?
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 2: I'm like, what is this, a golf tournament?
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 13: Oh, my God.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 11: I so want to be on that show.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 2: All right. We've got to get you on the show.
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 2: The problem was it was like 5 a.m. my time
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 2: in San Francisco, so I was barely awake. But I've
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 2: got to do it. I want to do over because
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to go to town with these lefties.
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 11: Right. You were not nice, were you?
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 2: No, I was nice. Well, you know, they said we
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 2: have a Republican line, a Democrat line, an independent line.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 2: And then I told the guy, I said, no, I
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 2: think you've got four lines because that's a far leftist
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 2: line right there. I'm like, are you kidding me? Anyway.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 11: And the lefties call in on the Republican line anyway.
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. That was happening all day long. So I'm like, geez.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 2: All right, Mary, we've got to call it a day.
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 2: But tonight, folks, Mary Walter, where can people go if
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 2: they want to see more Mary Walter?

  Speaker 11: have you back.
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 2: All right. Got to take a quick break here, folks.
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Starnes Show. All right, coming up
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 2: tomorrow on the show, we're going to do a deep
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 2: dive into the key races that we're going to be
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 2: looking at as we head to the midterms. Also, what's
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 2: happening in France right now, all-out riots breaking out in
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 2: the streets. Look, you need to take a very long
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 2: look at what's happening in France, across all of Western Europe,
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 2: because that will be our reality if we do not
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 2: put Republicans back in the Congress. I mean, it really
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 2: is that simple. So we have some– look, these are
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 2: not difficult choices to make here. You've just got to
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 2: be smart about this. And I know that many of
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 2: you have been upset. You're disgusted because the Republicans haven't
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 2: delivered on a lot of the agenda. And I get that.
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 2: But we have too much at stake right now. Congressman
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 2: David Kostoff told me earlier today this election is a
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 2: matter of– it's a battle between common sense and crazy.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 2: That's what we're dealing with here. And we can deal
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 2: with these rogue Republicans down the line. But right now,
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 2: the primaries are over, the candidates have been selected, and
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 2: you've got a choice to make. And any of you
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 2: who decide you're going to vote for an independent or
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 2: you're going to stay home, you're not going to vote.
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 2: You're voting for the Democrats. That's exactly what's going on.
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 2: So we've got to really have a come-to-Jesus moment as
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 2: conservatives here. And we've got to get together here and
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 2: make sure we get these Republicans across the finish line.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, it really is that simple. Hey, don't forget,
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America.
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 2: It makes a terrific Christmas present. Go to Amazon, Barnes & Noble,
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 2: Books A Million, wherever you get your books. Get a copy.
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 2: Get to The Golden Age. You're going to love it, folks.
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 2: It's a great, great story. And we've got to go.
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 2: Great to be back with you. We'll see you tomorrow.
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 2: Be good, America.
