0:10
Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
0:14
Speaker 1: common sense conservative commentary from Tudd Stars American.
0:27
Speaker 2: You know, Dylan, I've been trying to figure out the
0:30
Speaker 2: most important story of the day, and I know there
0:32
Speaker 2: are a lot of things happening President Trump and Iran,
0:37
Speaker 2: and you've got by Mark Cuban and RFK Junior and
0:43
Speaker 2: Trump r X, and then of course you've got the
0:45
Speaker 2: big primary battles today in Georgia, well six primaries across
0:50
Speaker 2: the country, but the ones we're most interested in are
0:53
Speaker 2: in Georgia and also the Commonwealth of Kentucky where Thomas Massey,
0:59
Speaker 2: and they're saying that what's happening in Kentucky is really
1:03
Speaker 2: a referendum on Donald Trump, and if Massey loses, as
1:07
Speaker 2: many expect he will, then it will be proof positive
1:11
Speaker 2: that Donald Trump is in control of the party. And
1:14
Speaker 2: if not, they they're saying, if Massy wins, that somehow
1:19
Speaker 2: this will be a stain, a mark against the President Trump.
1:23
Speaker 2: But anyway, where we're going to get in to all
1:24
Speaker 2: of that. Also a crazy story out of the state
1:28
Speaker 2: of Maine, and we're gonna check in with our good
1:29
Speaker 2: buddy Ray Richardson in just a little while to give
1:32
Speaker 2: us an update on the Nazi that the Democrats have
1:35
Speaker 2: nominated to be their their syneci. They're putting up a
1:38
Speaker 2: Nazi against Susan Collins. And it's even worse. He's a
1:43
Speaker 2: perverted Nazi. And I know that that may be an oxymoron,
1:48
Speaker 2: but it is what it is. You know what I'm
1:49
Speaker 2: trying to do here, Dylan. We've been getting so many
1:53
Speaker 2: letters and so many kind things. People have been sending
1:56
Speaker 2: a lot of things, you know, and after my hospital
1:59
Speaker 2: ste and we just greatly appreciate it. We're going to
2:03
Speaker 2: read some of the letters. But the good folks over
2:05
Speaker 2: at West Coast Baptist College in California, they sent me, Dylan,
2:11
Speaker 2: they sent me jelly bellies, Doctor Pepper flavored jelly bellies,
2:16
Speaker 2: and I made the mistake of actually just putting a
2:19
Speaker 2: handful in my mouth right before the show started. And
2:23
Speaker 2: I'm still working on the jelly bellies.
2:25
Speaker 3: Todd, the last time that you were sent jelly bellies,
2:29
Speaker 3: you did the exact same thing.
2:30
Speaker 2: I know, I can't I see I see the Doctor
2:32
Speaker 2: Pepper loco, and I just can't help myself.
2:35
Speaker 3: You know, It's funny those taste exactly like Doctor Pepper
2:38
Speaker 3: of all the Doctor Pepper flavored things.
2:40
Speaker 2: A thousand percent very good. So thank you to the
2:43
Speaker 2: students here at West Coast Baptist College, and they sent
2:46
Speaker 2: me a very kind note as well, so greatly. Anyway,
2:49
Speaker 2: that's why I'm trying to finish swallowing the jelly belly
2:53
Speaker 2: on national radio. Very unprofessional. But here's where we're starting off,
2:57
Speaker 2: Dylan and I think this is the most important story
3:00
Speaker 2: of the year. What's your favorite pizza joint.
3:05
Speaker 3: It's gonna be Marco's Pizza. I think that maybe more
3:08
Speaker 3: local than Nashville. I don't know.
3:10
Speaker 2: No, Marco's is actually a national chain. As a matter
3:13
Speaker 2: of fact, you GOV did a survey forty four thousand
3:16
Speaker 2: people and they said, what's your favorite pizza joint? And
3:19
Speaker 2: number one on the list. So I'll do you give
3:21
Speaker 2: you the top five Marco's Pizza, maybe the top five.
3:25
Speaker 2: Little Caesar's Metza Mizza made the list, Papa John's made
3:30
Speaker 2: the list. Number two on the list was Domino's. But
3:35
Speaker 2: the number one pizza chain in America is Pizza Hut.
3:39
Speaker 2: Interesting and a lot of people have been turned off.
3:43
Speaker 2: You remember Cracker Barrel was it was it last year
3:46
Speaker 2: that Cracker Barrel. They hired the woke chick, the vegan
3:49
Speaker 2: to run Cracker Barrel, and then she turned it into
3:52
Speaker 2: like this really I don't know, Magnolia Farms looking sterile restaurant.
3:57
Speaker 2: They painted everything beige and tan and all that kind
3:59
Speaker 2: of sense. Gray.
4:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, they tried to like minimalize.
4:02
Speaker 2: It absolutely, and then they took on sweet or took
4:06
Speaker 2: sweet tea off them.
4:07
Speaker 3: Menu, or meat vegan sausages.
4:11
Speaker 2: Oh god, the plant based sausage, which is why they
4:14
Speaker 2: had to start serving booze. That's the only way you
4:17
Speaker 2: could wash down the stench from the plant based sausage.
4:21
Speaker 2: So anyway, of course they nearly bankrupted the company. And
4:24
Speaker 2: oh and they ditched the old white guy. They ditched
4:26
Speaker 2: the cracker and Cracker Barrel.
4:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Cracker and the barrel.
4:29
Speaker 2: Bardon Meat, the Saltine American and so anyway, they they
4:35
Speaker 2: saw the error of their ways after they nearly went bankrupt,
4:38
Speaker 2: and so they brought everything back. So Pizza Hut did
4:41
Speaker 2: the same thing, right, They went completely moderate. I mean,
4:44
Speaker 2: that's the whole thing is even McDonald's, you know, McDonald's
4:47
Speaker 2: used to be bright and colorful, and the restaurants were
4:50
Speaker 2: shaped like the the the old school restaurants were shaped
4:53
Speaker 2: like the big M in McDonald's. And you had all
4:56
Speaker 2: these colorful characters. Ronald McDonald, the ham Burglar, Mayor mccheese.
5:02
Speaker 2: Who is the sasquatch guy? Oh, Grimace Grimat's think you're
5:05
Speaker 2: not sasquatch. That's a creature in the wilderness. My apologies.
5:10
Speaker 2: You had Grimace, and you had the little Nugget things.
5:13
Speaker 2: Oh those were always cute, the little Nugget beer. And
5:16
Speaker 2: now it looks like some sort of a business park.
5:19
Speaker 2: There's no fun. They're just sucking the joy out of
5:22
Speaker 2: all of these great iconic restaurant chains, and they're trying
5:26
Speaker 2: to modernize everything. That's really kind of honestly, it's like
5:30
Speaker 2: a Soviet style dystopian you know, viewer. It's like a brutalist,
5:36
Speaker 2: brutalist architectural style. There's just there's no creativity, there's no character.
5:42
Speaker 2: It's just all right. Nobody wants to get a hamburger
5:45
Speaker 2: from a place like that. You know, you want to
5:47
Speaker 2: be able to you want to be able to sit
5:49
Speaker 2: on I don't know, a chair that's like painted bright
5:52
Speaker 2: red with the them the big m as the back
5:55
Speaker 2: of the chair. That's the way McDonald's used to be.
5:57
Speaker 2: And then they had the playground at the McDonald's. Remember
6:00
Speaker 2: that they had the playground. Oh, I got to tell
6:02
Speaker 2: you this story. We were at one of those, and
6:04
Speaker 2: you know, the playgrounds used to be like at the
6:06
Speaker 2: front of the McDonald's. And then the McDonald's had the
6:09
Speaker 2: big huge plate glass windows right there were very bright
6:13
Speaker 2: and colorful, and so anyway, they had the covered slide
6:17
Speaker 2: and the slide, so you climb up the slide and
6:20
Speaker 2: then the slide. The way it was positioned, it's like
6:23
Speaker 2: our shooting out bodies toward the plate glass and you
6:27
Speaker 2: know it's all like made of plastic or whatever. It's
6:29
Speaker 2: all very whatever. It's not like the eighties, when you know,
6:32
Speaker 2: we had to slide down actual aluminum slides that were
6:35
Speaker 2: seven hundred degrees you know, fahrenheit. This new generation of
6:39
Speaker 2: kids are weak. So anyway, we're sitting there eating our burgers.
6:45
Speaker 2: We were on a church you grew. I don't know
6:46
Speaker 2: why I remember this after all these years. This woman
6:49
Speaker 2: must have been she was north of three hundred pounds
6:54
Speaker 2: and you could almost hear the plastic groaning as she
6:58
Speaker 2: climbed up the stairs and all we heard was a
7:01
Speaker 2: we and she got stuck. She got stuck in that
7:05
Speaker 2: covered slide, and I mean people were like freaking out.
7:10
Speaker 2: They tried to bring up butter and tried to like
7:12
Speaker 2: loosen her up, and they finally had to call the
7:15
Speaker 2: fire department and first respondership. They had to cut the
7:19
Speaker 2: poor woman out of the plastic.
7:21
Speaker 3: I thought they would have made it a water slide,
7:24
Speaker 3: put the hose down.
7:25
Speaker 2: We were afraid that if they did that, she would
7:28
Speaker 2: shoot right through the plate glass window fair enough. So
7:31
Speaker 2: there was there was a lot of concern there. So
7:34
Speaker 2: all that to say, Pizza Hut has now seen the
7:37
Speaker 2: error of their ways, because Pizza Hut was one of
7:40
Speaker 2: these great you guys, remember when you want to go
7:43
Speaker 2: out for a pizza and it's like you back in
7:45
Speaker 2: the seventies and eighties, it was Pizza Hut and there
7:48
Speaker 2: was something you walk inside and you had the red
7:51
Speaker 2: vinyl booths with the red and white checkered tablecloths, and
7:57
Speaker 2: they had the red plastic cups, and there was I mean,
8:01
Speaker 2: there was so much to do, Like pac Man. You know,
8:04
Speaker 2: back in the day, Dylan, we didn't have like handheld
8:07
Speaker 2: video games, you know, we had like machines and you
8:11
Speaker 2: had to have a roller quarters and you would go
8:14
Speaker 2: and play pac Man.
8:16
Speaker 3: I remember actually growing up, they still had those before
8:20
Speaker 3: they butchered it. They still had the machines that you
8:22
Speaker 3: could go like a whole separate room.
8:24
Speaker 2: And then for your mom they had a salad bar,
8:27
Speaker 2: you know, so that they had like remember the Tiffany
8:30
Speaker 2: they have like the Tiffany glass, you know, things.
8:33
Speaker 3: Over the lights and the dessert pizza.
8:36
Speaker 2: Oh, the dessert pizza. Yeah, the pizza. The pan pizza
8:39
Speaker 2: comes out there. You know, it's like piping hot and
8:41
Speaker 2: it's just a fun, fun place. And they just completely
8:45
Speaker 2: destroyed all of that, and Pizza Hut was about to
8:49
Speaker 2: go belly up. Well it turns out there's there's a
8:52
Speaker 2: guy in in Kansas and they own about a hundred
8:57
Speaker 2: of the Pizza Hut franchises. But by the way, Pizza
8:59
Speaker 2: Hut was founded in Wichita. So all of our Kquam listeners,
9:03
Speaker 2: this is like your your pride and joy there assigned
9:07
Speaker 2: from Dalton Glascock. I mean, it's the Pizza Hut. I
9:09
Speaker 2: mean that's what you guys are known for. And they've
9:13
Speaker 2: decided that they're going retro Reagan and they are bringing
9:21
Speaker 2: back the pizza hut classic look. And something very interesting
9:26
Speaker 2: has happened. People are starting to come back to the
9:29
Speaker 2: original pizza Hut restaurants and that there's just something about
9:35
Speaker 2: the about the nostalgia of it all. You know, it's
9:38
Speaker 2: interesting because I was reading a survey the other day,
9:44
Speaker 2: and the surveys showed that many young people in Generation Ze.
9:47
Speaker 2: You know, this is a generation that's going back to church,
9:51
Speaker 2: they're getting jobs that maybe they aren't going to college,
9:54
Speaker 2: they're getting married very young, and they're starting to have babies.
9:59
Speaker 2: These are it's a very traditional generation of young people,
10:03
Speaker 2: and they are now embracing things like the old school
10:08
Speaker 2: pizza Hut. I was reading there are actually record shops still,
10:12
Speaker 2: and you'll find this interesting. There are now record shops
10:15
Speaker 2: that are opening up that are actually selling vinyl albums again.
10:18
Speaker 2: You know, those things were used to be like the
10:20
Speaker 2: Jam up until about the Wow, the mid two thousands.
10:24
Speaker 2: I mean, you could still go to a record shop
10:26
Speaker 2: and get vinyl, and of course now you can't find
10:29
Speaker 2: a place. But we're starting to hear reports of people
10:32
Speaker 2: actually wanting to go back and purchase vinyl albums again.
10:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like gen Z. Maybe it's the nostalgia
10:39
Speaker 3: of just missing that old like look of things, in
10:41
Speaker 3: the feel of things, like the happiness you feel. But
10:44
Speaker 3: the vinyl thing has been like coming back for a
10:46
Speaker 3: few years now with gen Z. Like I even have
10:48
Speaker 3: a record player. I don't even know why, but like
10:51
Speaker 3: I'll go to a vinyl store just to look around,
10:53
Speaker 3: just to smell the vinyl store. It's a weird thing
10:55
Speaker 3: to say, but like it's just fun to go in
10:57
Speaker 3: there and do stuff that used to be a huge thing.
10:59
Speaker 3: Now it's now it's back.
11:01
Speaker 2: I mean, you have not lived until of course I
11:03
Speaker 2: grew up. I was sort of I spanned the We
11:06
Speaker 2: had eight track tapes and then we had the cassettes,
11:10
Speaker 2: and you always had to have an ink pen or
11:12
Speaker 2: a pencil so that you could, you know, in the
11:15
Speaker 2: event the tape kind of got a little lobbly, you
11:17
Speaker 2: had to you had to self self roll your your tape.
11:22
Speaker 2: It it's and back in the day when you had
11:25
Speaker 2: the Walkman's your your pocket was bulging because you had
11:28
Speaker 2: all these cassette tapes in there. And then of course
11:31
Speaker 2: somebody came up with the idea of, oh, let's create mixtapes.
11:35
Speaker 2: And so that that became a thing.
11:36
Speaker 3: Well, my generation we had the iPod shuffle and the
11:39
Speaker 3: iPod nano. The iPod nano is probably the biggest thing
11:42
Speaker 3: of all time. So like obviously everything else went away.
11:46
Speaker 2: Tim Sparks is the guy and he owns the uh
11:49
Speaker 2: DeLand Corporation. I hope I got that right. And they're
11:52
Speaker 2: based in Kansas and they're they're helping keep the dream
11:56
Speaker 2: alive and I am. I'm really happy to see this.
11:59
Speaker 2: And it's really sad because we went through a time
12:02
Speaker 2: in this country where it was like we were I
12:06
Speaker 2: don't know, it was like we were trying to sanitize
12:08
Speaker 2: everything and everything looked the same. If I'm going to Wichita, Kansas,
12:14
Speaker 2: I want to see Wichita, Kansas. I don't want to
12:17
Speaker 2: see Memphis, Tennessee and Wichita. Or if I'm going to Memphis,
12:20
Speaker 2: I don't want to see Wichita Memphis. You know, I
12:22
Speaker 2: want to see something that is unique. And unfortunately, and
12:26
Speaker 2: it's not just like with restaurants or with music, it's
12:30
Speaker 2: even radio, you know, because of all the corporate the
12:34
Speaker 2: big corporations coming in and scooping them all, their everything
12:37
Speaker 2: sounds the same.
12:38
Speaker 4: You know.
12:38
Speaker 2: This is why I love being a part of locally
12:41
Speaker 2: owned radio stations because we all sound different, we sound
12:45
Speaker 2: like the communities that we are a part of. So
12:50
Speaker 2: I think this is is terrific and I'm curious to
12:54
Speaker 2: hear from you about this. Are you glad to see
12:57
Speaker 2: some of these companies going back and embrace seeing the
13:01
Speaker 2: way things used to be? You know, they say that,
13:03
Speaker 2: they say, oh, well, these are upgrades. Yeah, but sometimes
13:06
Speaker 2: when you upgrade, you can you're actually downgrading. And I
13:10
Speaker 2: think that's what happened with the Pizza Hut, and I'm
13:12
Speaker 2: so glad that they are going back and embracing what
13:17
Speaker 2: worked for them. And I think you're gonna see a
13:19
Speaker 2: lot of families and a lot of families starting to
13:22
Speaker 2: go back out for Friday night pizza. And while you're
13:25
Speaker 2: waiting for your pizza, you're gonna get a roll of quarters,
13:28
Speaker 2: and you're gonna head over to the pac Man machine
13:30
Speaker 2: and you're gonna play pac Band until it's time to
13:32
Speaker 2: eat your I don't know, Pepperoni, just don't be putting
13:35
Speaker 2: the pineapple on the pizza there.
13:37
Speaker 4: That's just.
13:39
Speaker 2: That's a sin.
13:41
Speaker 4: All right.
13:41
Speaker 2: We got to take a break here. Nine oh one
13:43
Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six. Would it not
13:45
Speaker 2: be great?
13:46
Speaker 3: Though?
13:46
Speaker 2: If they had like a jukebox or just maybe just
13:49
Speaker 2: somebody play in vinyl records at the Pizza Hut, I'd
13:52
Speaker 2: go for that. Nine oh one two six zero five
13:55
Speaker 2: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero
13:59
Speaker 2: five nine two. This is the Toddstarn Show.
14:02
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, quick, heads up. This is actually a big one.
14:05
Speaker 5: We're saying goodbye to something that's helped thousands of families
14:08
Speaker 5: over the years. The Patriot Power Generator, one of the
14:11
Speaker 5: best selling solar generators of twenty twenty five, is officially
14:15
Speaker 5: being retired, and the reason they've just released something even better.
14:19
Speaker 5: It's called the Patriot Power Generator two two zero zero
14:23
Speaker 5: X and this is their most powerful model yet. It's
14:26
Speaker 5: built for real life situations, storms, outages, emergencies when you
14:31
Speaker 5: need power the most to launch it. They're doing something
14:34
Speaker 5: pretty crazy right now. You can get five hundred dollars
14:37
Speaker 5: off the generator. Plus they're including two free solar panels,
14:41
Speaker 5: so you can double your charging power right out of
14:43
Speaker 5: the box. They're also throwing in a heavy duty roll
14:46
Speaker 5: in go kart, an extended three year warranty, and if
14:50
Speaker 5: you're a senior or a veteran, you can save an
14:52
Speaker 5: additional two hundred dollars. And here's the part that really
14:56
Speaker 5: stands out, because they offer a payment plan. You can
14:59
Speaker 5: get star Art today for just two hundred and ninety
15:02
Speaker 5: nine dollars and its ships as soon as tomorrow. But
15:05
Speaker 5: this is a limited launch offer. It's first come, first served,
15:09
Speaker 5: and these kinds of deals don't stick around, especially with
15:12
Speaker 5: how unpredictable power outages have been lately. So if you've
15:16
Speaker 5: ever thought about having backup power for your home, now's
15:19
Speaker 5: the time to do it. Stay safe, stay prepared, and
15:22
Speaker 5: don't wait until the lights go out. Go to starnsprepper
15:25
Speaker 5: dot com right now to take advantage of this limited
15:28
Speaker 5: time offer.
15:37
Speaker 2: Stillan We just got a message from our sweet friend Cassie,
15:42
Speaker 2: the lovely Miss Cassie, who was our call screener for
15:46
Speaker 2: a while until her husband dragged her back across the
15:49
Speaker 2: Mason Dixon line. So we won't we won't hold that
15:52
Speaker 2: against mister producer.
15:53
Speaker 3: But he did take her away though he did.
15:56
Speaker 2: We we bear a grudge and she just sent me
16:00
Speaker 2: a photograph. You're not going to believe this. So they
16:02
Speaker 2: were in Pennsylvania the other day there's only one classic
16:06
Speaker 2: pizza hut left in all of Pennsylvania right now. It's
16:09
Speaker 2: a little town called Tuckahonic, Pennsylvania. And she was there
16:15
Speaker 2: and so she took pictures and it's like old It's
16:17
Speaker 2: like stepping right back into time.
16:18
Speaker 3: That's so nice. See, this is the validation that this
16:21
Speaker 3: is a good idea to love for every restaurant.
16:24
Speaker 4: Yeah.
16:24
Speaker 2: Absolutely, she says, just went to this pizza hut last
16:27
Speaker 2: week with the fam And anyway, we're glad to We're
16:31
Speaker 2: glad to hear from her. Also, Matt Flaska was down
16:33
Speaker 2: at Patriot Talk nine to twenty in Houston. He owns
16:36
Speaker 2: that great radio station there. He says, Todd, I'd love
16:39
Speaker 2: to see McDonald's go back to the old playground. My
16:42
Speaker 2: kids need to experience an all metal playground in the
16:45
Speaker 2: middle of a Texas summer. I think I still have
16:49
Speaker 2: burn marks from when I was seven.
16:51
Speaker 3: I don't remember that from McDonald's though, that's crazy. I
16:55
Speaker 3: do remember the plastics slide, those aluminum slides that sounds.
17:00
Speaker 3: Those things are brutal.
17:01
Speaker 2: You always had to happen. That's why you had to
17:02
Speaker 2: make sure you had a tetanus shot when you were
17:04
Speaker 2: a kid, because so you could survive the playground.
17:07
Speaker 4: You know.
17:07
Speaker 2: The worst though was the merry Did you ever do
17:09
Speaker 2: the Merry go Round? Yes, you know where they try
17:12
Speaker 2: to you. The whole point was the older kids, where
17:14
Speaker 2: you got it going so fast that the younger kids
17:17
Speaker 2: would go airborne.
17:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course. I mean I was always a little
17:21
Speaker 3: bit taller as a kid, so I was never like
17:23
Speaker 3: bullied to that.
17:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, you didn't have them it was a bully. It
17:26
Speaker 2: was just good old fun, playground fun.
17:28
Speaker 3: I think you can put it in the category of
17:30
Speaker 3: bullying of some sort.
17:31
Speaker 2: Did you ever do tether ball?
17:33
Speaker 4: Oh?
17:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, tetherball? And the whole point was to get it
17:35
Speaker 2: what wrapped around the pole. Yes, at least that's the
17:38
Speaker 2: rule of the game. But where when we were in school,
17:40
Speaker 2: it was about trying to hit the other person in
17:42
Speaker 2: the head with the ball.
17:43
Speaker 3: Yes, faces were at in the target.
17:47
Speaker 2: Oh it was great. You came off the back when
17:50
Speaker 2: we were in school. You came off that playground field.
17:52
Speaker 2: You look like you had been in a war.
17:54
Speaker 3: That's the way it should be, though, exactly. And then
17:57
Speaker 3: you have, you know, lunch, and then you have and
18:00
Speaker 3: then you have nap time, and it's just a great day.
18:02
Speaker 2: It's a it's a that's what America used to be.
18:05
Speaker 2: That's why we're woostes now, right. We've got to get
18:08
Speaker 2: back enough of this, you know, yeah, I mean you've
18:10
Speaker 2: got I mean they're sending kids out like riding bicycles
18:13
Speaker 2: with helmets and you know, elbow pads. Nobody, Nobody did
18:17
Speaker 2: that back in the eighties. Nobody did it in the seventies.
18:21
Speaker 2: That's why we're we're a sturdy stock our generation. I'm
18:26
Speaker 2: just telling you, I.
18:27
Speaker 3: Think I may have a dent in my head from
18:29
Speaker 3: when I fell off my bike.
18:32
Speaker 2: Well, you haven't lived until you've fallen out of the
18:34
Speaker 2: back of a pickup truck right on a on a
18:36
Speaker 2: dirt road.
18:37
Speaker 3: You need these moments.
18:38
Speaker 2: That's right. Character building, Yeah, that's character building, is what
18:41
Speaker 2: it is.
18:41
Speaker 5: So up there you go.
18:43
Speaker 2: By the way, we have an update on a story.
18:45
Speaker 2: Do we have the police crime blodder? And this story
18:48
Speaker 2: just reeks of the police crime blodder? If we all right, let's.
18:52
Speaker 4: Go for it, keeping you updated on crimes sweeping across
18:57
Speaker 4: the fruited plane.
18:59
Speaker 2: Pup up.
19:02
Speaker 4: This is the Starns a d D.
19:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, apparently so yesterday we told you this story out
19:09
Speaker 2: of Michigan, a woman arrested for stealing an entire bottle
19:13
Speaker 2: of wine. Police say that she shoved the entire bottle
19:18
Speaker 2: up her wazoo and was hiding the bottle in her
19:24
Speaker 2: cath ty if you will. New information we've discovered. Apparently
19:29
Speaker 2: the comps didn't even realize what had happened until they
19:31
Speaker 2: told her to bend over and cough, and when she did,
19:36
Speaker 2: the cork apparently nearly took out a cops on it.
19:40
Speaker 2: So and they say the wine was ironically chilled. Nine
19:46
Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. This
19:50

Speaker 2: elections underway to day at this hour, six six states
20:23
Speaker 2: holding primaries. We're paying very close attention today to what's
20:26
Speaker 2: happening in Georgia, also what's happening in Kentucky, and curious
20:31
Speaker 2: to hear from our listeners in both of those states
20:34
Speaker 2: whether or not you guys are seeing large turnouts. I
20:38
Speaker 2: will say in Georgia turnout, early voting turnout has not
20:42
Speaker 2: been good for Republicans. Democrats have about one hundred and
20:45
Speaker 2: fifty thousand vote lead over Republicans there in Georgia, So
20:51
Speaker 2: give us a call. Nine oh one two six zero
20:53
Speaker 2: five nine two six. That's nine oh one two six
20:56
Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. Meanwhile, in the great state
20:59
Speaker 2: of May you have a just a weird, weird story
21:04
Speaker 2: where the Democrats have put all of their hope and
21:07
Speaker 2: trust in a perverted Nazi guy who is running for
21:12
Speaker 2: the US Senate against Susan Collins. And there are The
21:16
Speaker 2: guy's name is Graham Platner. He's already facing criticism over
21:22
Speaker 2: things he wrote on Reddit, making all sorts of graphic
21:25
Speaker 2: sexual comments on his account, including doing unmentionable things and
21:30
Speaker 2: portable toilets. I want to go to the Patriot Mobile
21:34
Speaker 2: Who's maker line and say look to our good friend.
21:37
Speaker 2: And the radio said it used to be our great
21:39
Speaker 2: affiliate there in Portland, Maine.
21:41
Speaker 4: W L O B.
21:42
Speaker 2: The Big Lobster.
21:43
Speaker 6: Ray, good to have you back with us, God, nice
21:47
Speaker 6: to talk to you. How good? How good is to
21:49
Speaker 6: be on your show? I love it.
21:51
Speaker 2: Well, you're you're so kind to join us, Ray. And
21:54
Speaker 2: We've been following a lot of the crazy stories coming
21:57
Speaker 2: out of this political cycle, and I have to tell you, Ray,
22:00
Speaker 2: this one really takes the cake. What you guys are
22:01
Speaker 2: dealing with there in Maine it.
22:04
Speaker 6: Is insane, thod. But before we get to that, I
22:06
Speaker 6: need a favor. Could you do me a favor.
22:08
Speaker 2: I'll do my best.
22:10
Speaker 6: I need a picture of that beautiful sweet ic see
22:14
Speaker 6: as in Mensis, because it's ninety one degrees in Portland.
22:18
Speaker 2: Mainly wait, wait, ninety one degrees in Maine.
22:23
Speaker 6: Yes, it's awful. I as you know, my wife and
22:26
Speaker 6: I moved from main It's the main forty one years
22:29
Speaker 6: ago to get out of Florida heat. It's not nice,
22:33
Speaker 6: not nice though.
22:34
Speaker 2: Ray. Here's what I'm going to do for you. We
22:36
Speaker 2: know the good people down at Milo's, the sweet team
22:39
Speaker 2: we're going to send you. We'll try to, like FedEx
22:41
Speaker 2: you a gallon jug of Milo's.
22:44
Speaker 6: Oh, I would love that more than you have any
22:46
Speaker 6: idea that would make me feel like I'm home again.
22:49
Speaker 2: By the way, one of our and one of our
22:51
Speaker 2: one of our great team members, as a student at
22:54
Speaker 2: at a university and as an aspiring theater person, and
22:59
Speaker 2: he accepted a job at the Maine State Theater up there,
23:04
Speaker 2: so in not too far away from Portland and so yeah,
23:09
Speaker 2: so we're we're very excited for him, and yeah, we
23:12
Speaker 2: are our whole I think our whole church group is
23:14
Speaker 2: going to be taking a field trip up to your
23:16
Speaker 2: neck of the woods very soon.
23:19
Speaker 6: I think that's wonderful. They're putting on the musical seventeen
23:22
Speaker 6: seventy six this summer in honor of the two hundred
23:25
Speaker 6: and fiftieth anniversary. I don't know if you're familiar with
23:27
Speaker 6: that one or not, but it's it's a wonderful betrayal
23:30
Speaker 6: of how the Declaration of Independence came in to be.
23:33
Speaker 6: And so they're doing it. It's a marvelous theater. We're
23:36
Speaker 6: so proud of it.
23:37
Speaker 2: Well, we're just we're excited that you guys have a
23:39
Speaker 2: Southerner up there. I've already and we spent like Sunday
23:43
Speaker 2: after church. I'm like, repeat out to meet lobster. Lobster,
23:47
Speaker 2: So I think we've got him trained on the language.
23:49
Speaker 2: But look, let's just jump into this here. Tell us
23:52
Speaker 2: what we don't know about Graham Platter, because what we
23:55
Speaker 2: do know is really bizarre.
23:58
Speaker 6: Well, I think what we don't know is all about
24:01
Speaker 6: to come out. As you know, Governor Mills has suspended
24:05
Speaker 6: her campaign she didn't drop out, So I mean, the
24:09
Speaker 6: people could say I didn't realize this was this nut
24:13
Speaker 6: and still vote for her. But he is the presumed
24:16
Speaker 6: Democratic nominee for the United States Senate. And I do
24:19
Speaker 6: want to say that thoughts he served in the Marines,
24:21
Speaker 6: he went to war, I respect him for that. He
24:25
Speaker 6: is suffering from post traumatic stress and I understand that
24:28
Speaker 6: my uncle had it when he came back from Vietnam,
24:31
Speaker 6: so I understand that. But that does not excuse the
24:34
Speaker 6: behavior that he's displayed. The porta potty thing that you
24:38
Speaker 6: talked about this morning, I said to my audience, all right,
24:43
Speaker 6: I'm going to give you one minute. If you had
24:44
Speaker 6: children at the age of eighteen listening to this, they
24:47
Speaker 6: come to another room and I did read it on
24:50
Speaker 6: the air, and I've never even knew some of these words.
24:53
Speaker 6: I didn't even know what they were. Todd, and my
24:55
Speaker 6: wife's in studio with me.
24:56
Speaker 7: I was in Paris.
24:57
Speaker 6: But I felt like, the people need to know. This
25:01
Speaker 6: is outside the boundaries, not a common decency, but of
25:04
Speaker 6: any decency.
25:07
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I Mike. My thinking was, Okay, if he's
25:11
Speaker 2: if he's saying all of this stuff in public, what
25:13
Speaker 2: is he saying in private, I mean, I can't even
25:16
Speaker 2: begin to imagine, you know, the whole thing about the
25:18
Speaker 2: Nazi emblem, all of this stuff. It's it would have
25:22
Speaker 2: disqualified a Republican right out of the gate. And so
25:25
Speaker 2: I think that's why I'm just puzzled by all of this.
25:27
Speaker 2: Why in the world would the Democrats embrace this guy.
25:30
Speaker 5: Like they have.
25:34
Speaker 6: Sing in New York? So what did they do? They
25:36
Speaker 6: went and found a well educated guy. He actually Mandami
25:39
Speaker 6: went to school in Maine at a private college called Body,
25:43
Speaker 6: which is a very high end school. He's got a
25:45
Speaker 6: big twopy grin. He wears two thousand dollars suits down
25:48
Speaker 6: mellar loafers. He's what you know, he looks like that
25:52
Speaker 6: rising young New Yorker. And so the same people came
25:57
Speaker 6: to Nain and said, well, that won't work here. So
26:00
Speaker 6: they went and found a guy who had served in
26:01
Speaker 6: the military, who works on the water. He has a
26:05
Speaker 6: little horster farm that he does, and he likes to
26:09
Speaker 6: walk around with his shirt off. And so we have
26:12
Speaker 6: a lot of older women who are like, oh, he's
26:15
Speaker 6: such a handsome boy. They don't really care what he said.
26:17
Speaker 6: So far, I think he's got him in the ether
26:19
Speaker 6: if you want to know the truth, because you're right.
26:22
Speaker 6: If I had said this, if you had said this,
26:25
Speaker 6: we'd be off the air. He said this, and he's
26:28
Speaker 6: going to be the Democratic nominee for Senate.
26:30
Speaker 2: Well, knowing what we know about Susan Collins is is
26:35
Speaker 2: she going to be able to have enough juice to
26:37
Speaker 2: get across the finish line here? There's been a lot
26:41
Speaker 2: of frustration directed at you know, Rhino Republicans, and I
26:45
Speaker 2: think a lot of people look at Susan Collins and say,
26:48
Speaker 2: here's a person who has not been supportive of a
26:50
Speaker 2: lot of the President's key agenda items, including the Save
26:54
Speaker 2: America Act.
26:56
Speaker 6: Well, she did support the Save America Act in the
26:59
Speaker 6: original plantation when they tried to put it through reconciliation.
27:03
Speaker 6: One of the things she said was that version did
27:06
Speaker 6: not even proof from the citizenship, so she did not
27:09
Speaker 6: support it there, but she did support standalone bill. And respectfully, Todd,
27:15
Speaker 6: I will say this, Susan Collins has been our senator
27:19
Speaker 6: for a couple of decades. There is no one in Washington,
27:21
Speaker 6: d C. Man or woman, Democrat, Republican House or Senate
27:25
Speaker 6: who works harder than she does. She shows up for
27:28
Speaker 6: every vote. She's never missed the day, no matter what,
27:31
Speaker 6: and that's over two decades. If you ask her a question,
27:35
Speaker 6: she is always prepared to answer it. You may not
27:37
Speaker 6: agree with her all ways, and I don't agree with
27:38
Speaker 6: her all way, but she's always willing to talk about it.
27:41
Speaker 6: Anytime she votes against the president's agenda, I asked her
27:45
Speaker 6: to come on, we'll go through thirty straight minutes and
27:48
Speaker 6: why she did what she did. And sometimes I'll understand it,
27:52
Speaker 6: sometimes they won't. But the point is she did the work,
27:55
Speaker 6: and her staff did the work. She's always prepared, so
27:58
Speaker 6: I had the greatest respect in the world. Percentator Collins.
28:01
Speaker 7: We're a tough state.
28:02
Speaker 6: We're a large geography, small population. The people at the
28:06
Speaker 6: top of the state are six hours driving time from
28:09
Speaker 6: the people at the bottom of the state. And other
28:11
Speaker 6: than being manors, they have nothing in common, very different
28:15
Speaker 6: philosophies about life and politics and everything. So I think
28:18
Speaker 6: it's tough. But I will say she votes to the
28:20
Speaker 6: president eighty percent of the time. I know a lot
28:23
Speaker 6: of people say, well that's not enough, but Reagan always said,
28:26
Speaker 6: if you're with me eighty percent of the time, you're
28:28
Speaker 6: my friend, not my enemy.
28:30
Speaker 2: Well, well, and that's good to know. That's and that's
28:32
Speaker 2: a fair assessment. Again, Ultimately, it's going to be up
28:35
Speaker 2: to the people of Maine to decide. And do you
28:38
Speaker 2: think that she will have the support to overcome you know,
28:41
Speaker 2: this guy who's very popular with the Democrat base.
28:46
Speaker 7: Yeah, I do, I very much do.
28:49
Speaker 6: I said in late January that she would win in
28:52
Speaker 6: November by ten points. And just to give that a
28:55
Speaker 6: little bit of credibility, in twenty twenty when she ran
28:58
Speaker 6: against the Speaker of the House and Chuck Schumer literally
29:01
Speaker 6: through the kitchen sink about you know, two three hundred
29:04
Speaker 6: million dollars against Collins, which may not sound like a
29:07
Speaker 6: rode in Tennessee, but in Maine it's a gargantuan amount
29:11
Speaker 6: of money. And Colin's won that race by nine and
29:13
Speaker 6: three quarters point. She has a unique connection with me.
29:17
Speaker 6: She's always here. She comes home almost every weekend. If
29:21
Speaker 6: something's happening, she's there. We had Winnard storms a couple
29:24
Speaker 6: of years ago that wrecked the ghost line and it
29:26
Speaker 6: wasn't the governor, and it wasn't Angus King or other
29:29
Speaker 6: senator and Indian Congessional people. It was Susan Collins walking
29:33
Speaker 6: the short line with these business people figuring out what
29:36
Speaker 6: it is they need. And let's not forget she's the
29:39
Speaker 6: powerful chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee. I believe the
29:43
Speaker 6: first time in one hundred years in Maine that we've
29:45
Speaker 6: had that Appropriation's chair. So Collins has a unique relationship
29:50
Speaker 6: with main people that a lot of people don't get.
29:53
Speaker 6: People don't say hey, Senator. When I'm walking in a
29:56
Speaker 6: baraide with her, they say hey, Susan. They know her.
30:01
Speaker 2: Ray Richardson from wl OB in Portland, Maine. Before we
30:06
Speaker 2: let you go, Ray, I got a lovely letter in
30:08
Speaker 2: the mail from some of our listeners in Augusta, Maine.
30:13
Speaker 2: It's Kennebec. Is that Kennebec County? I hope I said
30:16
Speaker 2: that correct county?
30:17
Speaker 6: Right, yeah, Kennebec County, that's Augusta.
30:19
Speaker 4: Yeah.
30:19
Speaker 2: So they invite you to come. Although we up to
30:20
Speaker 2: Augusta to speak at the Elks Lodge, and of course
30:23
Speaker 2: we're not. I wish we could make the trip because
30:24
Speaker 2: it's such a beautiful state and the beautiful people there,
30:28
Speaker 2: but we certainly appreciate the the the invitation. They're doing
30:32
Speaker 2: a big Trump dinner, one big beautiful event, and they're
30:36
Speaker 2: at the Elks Lodge, so always always kind to hear
30:39
Speaker 2: from our great listers. They're in the state of Maine.
30:43
Speaker 6: Oh they love you in Maine, tod they do, and
30:45
Speaker 6: and we wish you were still on our station. But uh,
30:49
Speaker 6: you know, that's that's the decision they got made above
30:52
Speaker 6: my pay grade. But we the people of Maine still
30:55
Speaker 6: love you. I get text messages from you from them,
30:58
Speaker 6: and I guess the occasionally you mentioned my name and
31:01
Speaker 6: I get funded with text messages. Odd just talked about you,
31:04
Speaker 6: So you still have a big following here in Maine.
31:07
Speaker 6: I also got invited to that dinner, so it'd be
31:11
Speaker 6: great if you came. That'd be great. I'd be there
31:13
Speaker 6: if you were there.
31:13
Speaker 2: Well, we're working. I got, you know, now, I got
31:15
Speaker 2: this stupid cardiologist thing going on, so I got to
31:17
Speaker 2: get permission from the doctors before I'm able to leave,
31:20
Speaker 2: you know, Memphis for anything. So man, they're keeping me
31:23
Speaker 2: on a short leash right now. My friends, tell.
31:26
Speaker 6: Your doctor that means a very calm place. The air
31:30
Speaker 6: is very very fresh, and that would be good.
31:32
Speaker 2: And you guys don't fry anything up there, so you
31:34
Speaker 2: know it's all healthy. All right, Ray, we got to
31:39
Speaker 2: leave it there. Great hearing your voice Ray Richardson everybody,
31:43
Speaker 2: and this guy is the number one talk radio host
31:46
Speaker 2: in all of Maine and does a great job. And
31:49
Speaker 2: they got a new owner to the radio station and
31:51
Speaker 2: they decided to go a different way. And that's all right.
31:54
Speaker 2: But we are very fortunate because so many of those
31:58
Speaker 2: WLB listeners and up joining us on our live stream.
32:01

33:27
Speaker 2: Baton Rouge, Louisiana. That's the home of LSU Louisiana State University,
33:31
Speaker 2: among others. There's some other schools in the area. But
33:34
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my gosh, I've never seen you know,
33:36
Speaker 2: at high school graduation, it used to be a very
33:39
Speaker 2: formal event. You know, you have the what is it,
33:41
Speaker 2: the what do they call the graduation? Is it pomp
33:45
Speaker 2: and circumstance?
33:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you get lucky, you get the band to
33:50
Speaker 3: play it.
33:51
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and it's always slow and somebody's always off key,
33:53
Speaker 2: one of the piccolos, you know, missus whatever, it's terrible,
33:58
Speaker 2: and then that they're announcing Todd James Starnes the third
34:04
Speaker 2: and you know, you walk up and get your diployment.
34:06
Speaker 2: But now it's sort of like something very different.
34:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no decorum to it, because you gotta like,
34:13
Speaker 3: you gotta go, you gotta get the diploma, shake the
34:15
Speaker 3: person's hand, then you take your little picture, then you
34:17
Speaker 3: sit down.
34:18
Speaker 4: Right.
34:19
Speaker 2: They don't do that anymore, And so at first I thought,
34:21
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, what in the world, somebody, you know,
34:23
Speaker 2: I get a lot of stuff from you guys. You
34:25
Speaker 2: send me dms and Facebook messages, and a lot of
34:28
Speaker 2: this is stuff we end up talking about on the
34:30
Speaker 2: on the radio, and I greatly appreciate it. But I thought,
34:33
Speaker 2: what in the world this was so profane and vulgar,
34:36
Speaker 2: And I thought I was looking at the graduation ceremony
34:39
Speaker 2: for hammers and thongs school of poll Dancing. But it
34:42
Speaker 2: turned out to be like a college graduation ceremony.
34:48
Speaker 3: It's a good degree.
34:52
Speaker 2: Well, they pay you in cash, yeah, usually dollar bills.
34:55
Speaker 3: I don't have to worry about that.
34:56
Speaker 2: Well, unless you're good, and then they'll slip into ten
34:58
Speaker 2: or a twenty. I'm just saying. Then there's this story.
35:05
Speaker 2: You see Berkeley, the University of California. Berkeley one of
35:08
Speaker 2: the most liberal schools in America, and they have struck
35:13
Speaker 2: a great blow for diversity and inclusion in America by
35:18
Speaker 2: announcing that they have held their very first blacks only
35:22
Speaker 2: graduation ceremony. So if you're any other skin color, you're
35:26
Speaker 2: not allowed to participate. The I know I'm not making
35:31
Speaker 2: this up. There's actually video of this, and there's a
35:34
Speaker 2: story that the university is holding a black's only graduation ceremony.
35:40
Speaker 2: Now everybody's loving this and they're saying, oh, this is
35:45
Speaker 2: this is a great this is a great thing for
35:48
Speaker 2: the black community. I'm just wondering, what would happen if
35:52
Speaker 2: you see Berkeley had a white's only graduation ceremony. I
35:58
Speaker 2: think they would say that's racist, that's racist. Who do
36:03
Speaker 2: you think you are?
36:05
Speaker 8: You?
36:06
Speaker 2: You white supremacist? How dare you sorry? That's how they
36:11
Speaker 2: talk at Berkeley. By the way, I think it's something
36:13
Speaker 2: in the water. I don't know, so any So, anyway, again,
36:18
Speaker 2: what just happened to? What happened to? Just a good
36:22
Speaker 2: old fashioned if you graduate, if you pass your classes,
36:26
Speaker 2: you get to you get to walk in your commencement ceremony.
36:29
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what your skin color is. I'm just
36:34
Speaker 2: I'm just curious. So there you have it. Uh, the
36:38
Speaker 2: you see Berkeley of folks heralding all of this by
36:41
Speaker 2: saying that their blank graduation celebrates community, culture, and achievement
36:46
Speaker 2: and somewhat may I just say somewhat exclusive unless you
36:53
Speaker 2: get a really good tan. They're saying, Black students, this
36:58
Speaker 2: is from Professor Emeritus Charles Henry. Black students from across
37:02
Speaker 2: the campus gathered together when they march across the stage.
37:05
Speaker 2: It is a collective acknowledgment of success and also exclusion.
37:12
Speaker 2: They say, Black graduations authenticate our achievements, our community, and
37:18
Speaker 2: our aspirations in one moment. What is that segregation? Is
37:22
Speaker 2: that what we're promoting here?
37:26
Speaker 4: I don't know.
37:27
Speaker 2: I thought we went through this whole thing back in
37:29
Speaker 2: the sixties and seventies and eighties to desegregate the schools.
37:35
Speaker 2: But now it's like now everybody wants to have their
37:38
Speaker 2: own own schools, own graduation ceremonies, own restaurants. It's hard
37:45
Speaker 2: to keep up with these folks. All right, coming up, folks,
37:48
Speaker 2: we have a jam packed show for you. Steve Gill's
37:52

Speaker 2: Norwegian version is still a little off, but we're working
39:26
Speaker 2: on it. So welcome everybody. This is the Todd Starnes
39:30
Speaker 2: Radio Show. You are not at Del Taco. Great to
39:33
Speaker 2: have you with us today. And by the way, before
39:35
Speaker 2: we get to your calls, and we put out a
39:37
Speaker 2: question in the last hour of the show, what do
39:40
Speaker 2: what do the Republicans need to do between now and
39:44
Speaker 2: November to get you fired up. I mean, I know
39:48
Speaker 2: there's a laundry list of things that a lot of
39:50
Speaker 2: people want, but I'm curious what you what you want
39:54
Speaker 2: the Republicans to do between now and the midterms. Now,
39:57
Speaker 2: we also have some break news to share with you
40:01
Speaker 2: at this hour.
40:02
Speaker 4: Breaking news now on the Todd Starn Show, and.
40:06
Speaker 2: The President finally taking sides in this Senate runoff in Texas,
40:12
Speaker 2: and we can tell you that President Trump has decided
40:15
Speaker 2: to endorse Attorney General Ken Paxton as the next senator
40:21
Speaker 2: from the great state of Texas. The President writing on
40:24
Speaker 2: true social kin is a true Maga warrior who was
40:27
Speaker 2: always delivered for Texas and will continue to do so
40:31
Speaker 2: in the United States Senate. So the President throwing in
40:35
Speaker 2: and for the longest time, he said that there are
40:39
Speaker 2: those that say whoever I endorse is going to win.
40:42
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's true, but historically that's absolutely true.
40:46
Speaker 2: I just don't like to say it because I don't
40:48
Speaker 2: like to brag. No, this president. The President is a
40:51
Speaker 2: very humble man. He does, he doesn't. He is not
40:54
Speaker 2: one to boast. So this is a pretty significant development. Uh,
41:00
Speaker 2: And John corny, and of course the incumbent had drawn
41:03
Speaker 2: the fire of a lot of a lot of the
41:06
Speaker 2: mago world America first world there in Texas. So all
41:10
Speaker 2: you folks in Texas, curious to hear your thoughts on
41:13
Speaker 2: this today President Trump throwing in behind Ken Paxton for
41:17
Speaker 2: the US Senate race and our telephone number nine oh
41:20
Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six. That race
41:23
Speaker 2: coming up in a couple of weeks, by the way,
41:25
Speaker 2: that's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. Well,
41:29
Speaker 2: let's go to Statesville, North Carolina. Billy listening to us
41:32
Speaker 2: on wsi C. Billy, what's on your mind today?
41:37
Speaker 9: Well, how you doing today?
41:39
Speaker 2: I'm well, thank you for asking, Well, thank you.
41:43
Speaker 9: I appreciate you show, and I appreciate your attitude. The
41:47
Speaker 9: first thing I thought of when you asked that question
41:50
Speaker 9: about what there's the one thing, the very first thing
41:52
Speaker 9: that popped in my mind was I just wish the
41:55
Speaker 9: Republicans would get together and get along better and work
42:00
Speaker 9: together better, especially on subjects that's very important and needs
42:05
Speaker 9: to be passed, you know, as a whole and not
42:08
Speaker 9: not necessarily acting as the Democrats do where they play
42:11
Speaker 9: fall the leader and if anybody don't think it's severely chastised,
42:16
Speaker 9: But but they need to try to work together more
42:18
Speaker 9: and pass things that need to be passed, and just
42:22
Speaker 9: be more of one mind than they are. I think
42:25
Speaker 9: that would make me happy.
42:27
Speaker 2: So is there is there one particular side that needs
42:30
Speaker 2: to do a better job of reaching out?
42:35
Speaker 9: Uh, I'm I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that,
42:39
Speaker 9: But I think I think all of them, you know,
42:44
Speaker 9: especially just in the Senate and Congress, they just need
42:51
Speaker 9: to be able to especially whenever they have very important
42:55
Speaker 9: things to pass. You know, you seem like you've always
42:58
Speaker 9: got a handful of road Republicans that don't want to
43:01
Speaker 9: vote the way enough to get the thing passed. And
43:05
Speaker 9: I think they need to really consider what they're doing
43:07
Speaker 9: and just try to work together better.
43:10
Speaker 2: Well to that point, I mean, the side I think
43:13
Speaker 2: you're talking about here would be the establishment of Republicans,
43:16
Speaker 2: the Rhinos, and they're the ones that are standing in
43:20
Speaker 2: the way of President Trump's agenda. And look, Billy, I'm
43:23
Speaker 2: with you. Look, if you are a principled person, you
43:26
Speaker 2: know you need to vote your principles, but you're also
43:28
Speaker 2: a member of a political party, and if the leader
43:32
Speaker 2: of your party is wanting to move his agenda through.
43:35
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what the people voted for. I mean,
43:37
Speaker 2: when you look at the go back to the go
43:39
Speaker 2: back to the election in twenty twenty four, and it
43:44
Speaker 2: was very clear the only reason Republicans were given control
43:48
Speaker 2: of the House and the Senator is because people voted
43:50
Speaker 2: for Donald Trump. I mean, that's that's the reason why
43:52
Speaker 2: he was He was the draw on election day, not
43:56
Speaker 2: members of Congress. So therefore, knowing all of that, I
44:00
Speaker 2: think you have to take all of that into consideration
44:02
Speaker 2: when you say, Okay, I'm going to support the president
44:05
Speaker 2: or I'm not going to support the president. The American
44:07
Speaker 2: people sent you to Washington to get that president's agenda
44:10
Speaker 2: across the finish line. And if you can't do that,
44:13
Speaker 2: I think you ought to step aside. And that's I'm
44:16
Speaker 2: with you. I think there does need to be unity,
44:19
Speaker 2: but that unity has to be around the president's agenda. Billy,
44:24
Speaker 2: I got to run, but thank you for that call.
44:26
Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
44:29
Speaker 2: is our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six
44:32
Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. Now I want to play
44:35
Speaker 2: some audio here. This is actually from our conversation we
44:38
Speaker 2: had with Ken Paxton. Now this was done before President
44:41
Speaker 2: Trump decided to throw in and give him the endorsement,
44:45
Speaker 2: but you're gonna hear Paxton talking about how important that
44:47
Speaker 2: endorsement is. Take a listen, and first I'd like to
44:49
Speaker 2: get your thoughts on what the President just had to
44:52
Speaker 2: say about the Democrat James tell Rico, calling him a
44:55
Speaker 2: weird dude.
44:56
Speaker 4: I kind of think he's a dangerous dude.
44:59
Speaker 2: What say you?
45:00
Speaker 4: I totally agree with you, Todd.
45:02
Speaker 10: He is a deceptive guy presenting himself as a Christian
45:05
Speaker 10: pastor and yet very commonly expousing very anti Christian views,
45:11
Speaker 10: from his view on God being don binary, to his
45:14
Speaker 10: focus on Mary and abortion and all his positions seem
45:19
Speaker 10: to be very anti biblical. And yet you know, people
45:22
Speaker 10: believe sometimes just as we saw Satan used the Bible
45:27
Speaker 10: against Jesus in the Temptation of Christ, here we have
45:30
Speaker 10: a guy expressing his views on the Bible that are
45:33
Speaker 10: so seemingly anti Christian.
45:35
Speaker 2: I know the President still has not made an endorsement here.
45:38
Speaker 2: I'm wondering how critical is that endorsement. We're just what
45:43
Speaker 2: about eleven days out from the runoff. Yeah, look, I
45:46
Speaker 2: have a lot of respect to the president. I've been
45:48
Speaker 2: with him from the beginning.
45:49
Speaker 10: I endorsed him with Troy Ells were the first two
45:51
Speaker 10: politicians to show but mar Lago when he announced, you know,
45:54
Speaker 10: I stood with him at his trial. I was the
45:56
Speaker 10: first person to show up at his trial. John Corny,
45:59
Speaker 10: on other hand, has not been so kind of the president.
46:01
Speaker 10: In twenty sixteen, he did not support him, saying he
46:03
Speaker 10: was now patrussing around our neck. And in twenty twenty
46:06
Speaker 10: four he said that President Trump's time had passed and
46:10
Speaker 10: that we should go in new direction, that Trump may
46:12
Speaker 10: be potentially legally liable for having committed crimes. So you know,
46:17
Speaker 10: now that he's in a primary with me, he's changes
46:20
Speaker 10: positions on almost every issue, including Donald Trump.
46:23
Speaker 2: Look, there's no doubt about that. I mean, it's all
46:26
Speaker 2: out there for people if they want to look at it.
46:28
Speaker 2: And by the way, there's a new ad out there
46:30
Speaker 2: saying that Senator Cornyn has a special place in his
46:33
Speaker 2: heart for radical Islam and even believes that we have
46:36
Speaker 2: a moral obligation to support musclim mass immigration. And I'm wondering,
46:42
Speaker 2: does the senator speak for the majority of Texans on
46:45
Speaker 2: that issue.
46:46
Speaker 10: No, he absolutely did not. I've been fighting that issue.
46:49
Speaker 10: We've been fighting sharia law. We've sued Epic City in
46:53
Speaker 10: my county. We shut down another development in Coffney County.
46:57
Speaker 10: We've defended the state against the Muslim Brotherhood and still
47:00
Speaker 10: in that lawsuit. We've addressed school districts trying to have
47:04
Speaker 10: Muslim only events. But sharia law has no place in
47:07
Speaker 10: this country. It cannot stand with our constitution. It's empathetical
47:12
Speaker 10: to it. I am fine, the First Amendment should be honored.
47:15
Speaker 10: Everybody shoes a little to worship as they please, but
47:18
Speaker 10: having a separate set of laws. And John Corn has
47:20
Speaker 10: been very supportive of this movement in the past. Of course,
47:23
Speaker 10: right now he's not speaking much at all because I
47:26
Speaker 10: think he is receiving a lot of support from that community.
47:29
Speaker 2: You know, It's interesting. There was actually a sixteen year
47:32
Speaker 2: old boy from Texas Wiley High School who was actually
47:35
Speaker 2: testifying up on Capitol Hill. And I think that young
47:38
Speaker 2: man actually had more boldness when it came to talking
47:41
Speaker 2: about that very issue than the sitting senator from the
47:45
Speaker 2: state of Texas.
47:46
Speaker 4: Right now, what does that tell you.
47:48
Speaker 10: I'm telling you that kid, I hadn't met him, and
47:50
Speaker 10: I'm so impressed with him. I met him in person,
47:53
Speaker 10: so proud of him. He stood strong, he stood up
47:55
Speaker 10: to that congressman. And you're right, he's had more boldness
47:58
Speaker 10: and he has more conviction of that issue than John
48:01
Speaker 10: corn ever has or ever will. John's going to play
48:03
Speaker 10: the game right now and keep his mouth shut, not
48:05
Speaker 10: talk about it, but we know where his heart lies,
48:07
Speaker 10: and that boy, I'd love to see him take John
48:10
Speaker 10: Cornyn on on that very issue because we know who
48:13
Speaker 10: would win that debate, and it would be that sixteen
48:15
Speaker 10: year old boy.
48:17
Speaker 2: You know what's interesting, mister Attorney General, The Save America
48:20
Speaker 2: Act is not going anywhere the Senate. I think we
48:22
Speaker 2: all sort of knew that. The frustration I have is
48:24
Speaker 2: with the sitting senators, the Republican senators, who are not
48:28
Speaker 2: doing anything, and they could do something. And I'm wondering,
48:31
Speaker 2: if you are elected based on what John Thune has
48:34
Speaker 2: already done to stop the President's agenda, would he get
48:38
Speaker 2: your vote to be majority leader.
48:40
Speaker 10: So look, the Save America Act, the President said in
48:43
Speaker 10: the State of un I was there. I heard an
48:45
Speaker 10: most important bill in front of our Congress because it's
48:49
Speaker 10: necessary for the mid terms, it's necessary for our future.
48:54
Speaker 10: We have all these democratic states that a jerrymandered, that
48:56
Speaker 10: have not just jerry made, but that they've rigged their
48:58
Speaker 10: elections with men in ballot fraud, having non citizens vote,
49:02
Speaker 10: no photo ID. These are very essential things to fair elections,
49:07
Speaker 10: and I don't know how it's possible. And I even
49:10
Speaker 10: said it right after the runoff, I said I'd considered
49:12
Speaker 10: dropping out if John corn after forty two years, actually
49:15
Speaker 10: accomplished one good thing which he hasn't done in forty
49:17
Speaker 10: two years. And that one good thing was get to
49:20
Speaker 10: Save America pass. And guess what something that fundamental that
49:24
Speaker 10: we have the votes to get with fifty three Republicans,
49:27
Speaker 10: they went on vacation for two weeks instead of passing it,
49:30
Speaker 10: came back for a week, and I think then they
49:31
Speaker 10: took another break.
49:32
Speaker 4: So it's very frustrating to me.
49:34
Speaker 10: And this is exactly what I'm trying to highlight as
49:37
Speaker 10: I run against John Cornyn. It's time to deliver results
49:40
Speaker 10: for Texas and for the country, and John corn hasn't
49:43
Speaker 10: done it, and so it's time to change out. It's
49:45
Speaker 10: time to put in a picture. We will actually throw
49:47
Speaker 10: a fastball, all right.
49:56
Speaker 2: The breaking news President Trump endorsing Ken Paxton, the attorney
50:00
Speaker 2: general in that ferocious GOP Senate primary runoff in Texas.
50:05
Speaker 2: So that sets up a what should end up being
50:08
Speaker 2: a Ken Paxton versus James tell Rico Senate race. Nine
50:12
Speaker 2: oh one two six to zero five nine two six
50:15
Speaker 2: is our telephone number, that's nine oh one two six
50:18
Speaker 2: zero five to nine two six. Let's go to the
50:20
Speaker 2: phone's Charles in North Carolina, WUS. I c are great
50:24
Speaker 2: affiliate there, Hi, Charles, what's going on?
50:28
Speaker 7: Hey, cat to you.
50:29
Speaker 9: I'm really excited to hear that news was just announced
50:32
Speaker 9: with Trump's endorsement of Paxton. I think things like that
50:37
Speaker 9: time will help ignite the base to show up during
50:40
Speaker 9: the mid terms. But last week, this past weekend, it
50:43
Speaker 9: was Cassidy. Next Tuesday, hopefully it's going to be John
50:47
Speaker 9: Cornyning is gone, And if Trump wants to make it
50:49
Speaker 9: a threepeat, the best thing I think he could do
50:51
Speaker 9: is withdrawal the endorsement of Lindsey Graham and endorse his
50:54
Speaker 9: primary Applony, and I'll get rid of all three rhinos.
51:00
Speaker 11: But Todd, you're asking what I think republic what.
51:02
Speaker 9: You think Republicans need to do to win the midterms,
51:04
Speaker 9: And I just alluded to that. But also I think
51:09
Speaker 9: if there's still time for this Save Act to pass,
51:12
Speaker 9: if Trump starts trying to exert more leverage on Foon,
51:16
Speaker 9: maybe calls them back in for a special legislative session
51:19
Speaker 9: this summer. We need to push continue to push for
51:23
Speaker 9: this redistricting and everything that we've been doing, because that's structurally,
51:28
Speaker 9: it's pointing us in the right direction to hold on
51:30
Speaker 9: to the House. But Todd, the most important thing is
51:35
Speaker 9: we've got to get rid of in this war and
51:37
Speaker 9: Iran and fast because these high gas prices which are
51:41
Speaker 9: going to mean high food prices and everything else. If
51:45
Speaker 9: we don't do that, I'm afraid the Democrats are going
51:48
Speaker 9: to hang that around our nets, just like we did
51:50
Speaker 9: Theirs in twenty twenty four. Yesterday I was at a
51:54
Speaker 9: gas pump, and I know you would talk about how
51:56
Speaker 9: expensive gas is getting. I saw a little sticker of
51:59
Speaker 9: Donald Try pointing to the price of gas and said,
52:02
Speaker 9: I did that, and that's just the kind of stickers
52:04
Speaker 9: I used to put on gas pumps years ago, when
52:07
Speaker 9: Joe Biden did that. Only now with reverse. I think
52:10
Speaker 9: it's incumbent to try to end this war as soon
52:13
Speaker 9: as possible. And focus on domestic issues.
52:16
Speaker 2: So you're not buying the argument from the purist. I
52:20
Speaker 2: guess I'm not even sure what to call them, the
52:22
Speaker 2: America First purist. And they're saying that you have a
52:25
Speaker 2: patriotic duty, Charles, to suck it up and not complain
52:29
Speaker 2: about these high gas prices.
52:33
Speaker 9: No, I don't buy that. I don't buy that at all. No,
52:35
Speaker 9: it's not my patriotic or to do that anymore than
52:38
Speaker 9: it was our patriotic duty to wear a mask and
52:40
Speaker 9: think a vaccine. You know, Joe Biden made the same reference.
52:45
Speaker 10: No.
52:45
Speaker 9: I mean, I just think that Trump needs to the
52:47
Speaker 9: clare victory in Iran. I mean, you know, Todd, the
52:51
Speaker 9: Middle East ever since I've been a child, they've been
52:53
Speaker 9: fighting over there for sixty years. They're going to continue
52:56
Speaker 9: to fight even after Iran. And it's kind of like
52:59
Speaker 9: the old tar baby in the Tales of Uncle Reemachiner.
53:01
Speaker 9: Every time you throw upon she just gets sucked in
53:04
Speaker 9: and just get stuck. And I think we just needed
53:06
Speaker 9: declare victory, come home, let Israel handle Iran and focus
53:11
Speaker 9: on the domestic issues, because even if we declare victory
53:16
Speaker 9: now and come home, it's going to be at least
53:18
Speaker 9: forty five days or so, before you know, we may
53:21
Speaker 9: see gas prices in every the supply chain start to
53:24
Speaker 9: open back up. But we've got to focus on domestic
53:28
Speaker 9: issues because I'm hearing it from my friends who are
53:30
Speaker 9: die hard MAGA people just like myself, and everybody's being effected.
53:34
Speaker 7: They just are.
53:35
Speaker 2: Well, there's no doubt about that. And I know the
53:38
Speaker 2: President just a little while ago was talking to reporters.
53:40
Speaker 2: He says that he was an hour away from making
53:44
Speaker 2: a decision to order new strikes on Iran, but then
53:47
Speaker 2: he did not do that at the request of allies
53:51
Speaker 2: there in the Persian Gulf. The President went on to
53:54
Speaker 2: say the war is very popular and he does not
53:57
Speaker 2: have enough time to keep explaining the rationale for I
54:00
Speaker 2: think that's a mistake. I think the American people, and look,
54:04
Speaker 2: I may be mistaken here, but I'm not quite sure
54:07
Speaker 2: why we are doing what we're doing over there right now.
54:10
Speaker 2: I genuinely do not know.
54:12
Speaker 9: Charles well Todd, and I agree with you totally. So
54:16
Speaker 9: let me just bring something up. If Iran was this
54:21
Speaker 9: close to developing a nuclear weapon, Okay, I don't think
54:25
Speaker 9: it's too much to ask to present some type of documentation,
54:29
Speaker 9: not verbal, but something like you know, I'm email something
54:36
Speaker 9: to the American people, just like Adelaide Stevenson in nineteen
54:41
Speaker 9: sixty two in the Cuban missile crisis. At the UN,
54:44
Speaker 9: we've put down photos of the Russians building missile sites
54:47
Speaker 9: in Cuba because you and I both know that our
54:51
Speaker 9: government will lie to its own people to get us
54:53
Speaker 9: involved in a war, just like the Gulf of Tonkin
54:55
Speaker 9: resolution in nineteen sixty four to get us in Vietnam.
54:58
Speaker 9: I'm just like a rack and tooth thousand and three,
55:01
Speaker 9: and I wouldn't be surprised at Trump is getting some
55:04
Speaker 9: bad information.
55:05
Speaker 2: Okay, follow me on this, Charles No, No, follow follow
55:07
Speaker 2: me on this for just a minute, because none of
55:10
Speaker 2: this really has ever made a lot of sense to me.
55:12
Speaker 2: So I going back to day one. The whole point
55:15
Speaker 2: of this was that Iran cannot have access to nuclear weapons.
55:19
Speaker 12: That was it.
55:20
Speaker 2: We were not going in for regime change, none of that. Now,
55:23
Speaker 2: that was the original reason why we decided to go in.
55:26
Speaker 2: My question is did we accomplish that mission? And if
55:30
Speaker 2: the answer is yes, then why haven't we declared victory.
55:34
Speaker 2: If the answer is no, then why is President Trump
55:37
Speaker 2: postponing a major attack that could have taken out, you know,
55:41
Speaker 2: whatever nuclear sites we needed to take out over there.
55:44
Speaker 2: So either way, it's not making sense right now.
55:49
Speaker 9: Yeah, I agree. I mean we've already taken at their leadership,
55:52
Speaker 9: would Trump say, two levels of their leaderships. We've accomplished that.
55:55
Speaker 2: But that's not what we were after. We were not
55:57
Speaker 2: after regime change. They kept telling you that, they said,
55:59
Speaker 2: this is not about regime change, this is about going
56:01
Speaker 2: after the nukes.
56:03
Speaker 9: But Todd, how can Here's what I would like, how
56:06
Speaker 9: can we how can we guaranteed Iran or any other
56:09
Speaker 9: countries for that matter, will never have a nuclear weapon?
56:12
Speaker 9: I mean, we can say that right now, but who's
56:15
Speaker 9: to say what's going to happen five, ten, the years now?
56:17
Speaker 9: You just you can't make that kind of guarantee.
56:20
Speaker 2: I don't think no, no, no, But but I hear
56:23
Speaker 2: where I hear what you're saying, and I'm look, I'm
56:25
Speaker 2: with the President of the fact that we you know,
56:27
Speaker 2: Iran cannot have access to nukes. The point I'm trying
56:30
Speaker 2: to make here is we're in a weird We're in
56:33
Speaker 2: a weird situation now, and this thing could drag on
56:37
Speaker 2: for a very long time. And to your point, it's
56:39
Speaker 2: going to take time to wind down all of this stuff.
56:42
Speaker 2: It's gonna take time for the gas prices to come
56:44
Speaker 2: back down. And if we're dealing with higher gas prices
56:48
Speaker 2: around November, it could get a little dicey for the Republicans. Charles,
56:53
Speaker 2: I gotta run. Nine oh one two six zero five
56:56
Speaker 2: nine two six is our telephone omber. That's nine oh
56:58
Speaker 2: one two six five nine two sixteen. Gill coming up next.
57:24
Speaker 8: Thomas Massey's a terrible congressman.
57:26
Speaker 2: He's been a terrible congressman.
57:28
Speaker 8: From day one. Dealing with him is just a horrible
57:32
Speaker 8: I don't think he's a Republican. I think he's actually
57:34
Speaker 8: I think he's actually a Democrat. He's not a libertarian.
57:38
Speaker 8: You know, sometimes they say he's really a Democrat. He
57:41
Speaker 8: votes against us all the time. He voted against the
57:44
Speaker 8: border wall. He voted against men playing in women's sports.
57:49
Speaker 8: He voted against transgender for everybody, the mutilization of your children.
57:54
Speaker 8: He voted against again open borders. We have the best
57:57
Speaker 8: border we've ever had right now. Nobody's coming in. I
58:00
Speaker 8: mean a report just came out. In the last eleven months,
58:03
Speaker 8: literally nobody has been allowed into our country illegally. We're
58:07
Speaker 8: taking people legally, they go through a process, but nobody's
58:10
Speaker 8: coming into our country. But we've taken out hundreds of
58:14
Speaker 8: thousands of people. We had ten thousand, it was ten thousand,
58:18
Speaker 8: eight hundred eleven thousand, eight hundred and eighty eight murders.
58:23
Speaker 8: Many of these murders allowed into our country from prisons.
58:26
Speaker 4: They were in prisons.
58:28
Speaker 8: Many of these people killed more than one more than
58:30
Speaker 8: fifty percent killed more than one person.
58:33
Speaker 4: This was gross malfeasans. This was on behalf of the Biden.
58:38
Speaker 8: I don't know Biden because I don't think he knew
58:40
Speaker 8: he was alive. But she Kamala was the cortisar. She
58:44
Speaker 8: never called that one time. She never called the border patrol,
58:49
Speaker 8: she never called ICE, she never called law enforcement. She
58:52
Speaker 8: never went to the border.
58:53
Speaker 4: Think of it.
58:55
Speaker 8: I used to call every single day, and that's recently.
58:59
Speaker 4: Now I call less.
59:00
Speaker 3: We have nobody coming through.
59:01
Speaker 8: We had caravans coming through with tens of thousands of
59:04
Speaker 8: people pouring into our country. We had no idea who
59:08
Speaker 8: they were.
59:09
Speaker 4: We would have been I'll tell you what.
59:11
Speaker 8: That would Our country would have been destroyed if they
59:13
Speaker 8: won this election. Our country would have been we have
59:16
Speaker 8: now the hottest country anywhere in the world. If they
59:19
Speaker 8: had won the election, our country would have been destroyed.
59:22
Speaker 8: Our country was a dead country two years ago. And
59:25
Speaker 8: now we have really the hottest country in the world.
59:27
Speaker 8: And this is the ballroom, and it's going to be
59:30
Speaker 8: something incredibly is e the quality of it?
59:34
Speaker 4: All? Right?
59:34
Speaker 2: That was the president. He was actually outside the ballroom
59:37
Speaker 2: construction site at the Lobal office. That's why you heard
59:41
Speaker 2: all the noise and the hammering and all that kind
59:43
Speaker 2: of stuff. So anyway, the president weighing in. Of course,
59:46
Speaker 2: as voters in Kentucky and Georgia go to the pole
59:49
Speaker 2: six states altogether, I want to go to the Patriot
59:51
Speaker 2: mobile whose maker line? SELLO to our good friend, the
59:54
Speaker 2: publisher of try Star Daily dot com, Steve Gill, Steve,
59:57
Speaker 2: good to have you with us today.
59:59
Speaker 7: Hey, God, you know, he is president of the United States,
1:00:01
Speaker 7: but at his heart, Donald Trump is still a developer.
1:00:04
Speaker 7: He gets so much more excited when he's on a
1:00:07
Speaker 7: construction site than anything he else he does during the day.
1:00:12
Speaker 2: Oh a thousand, one thousand percent. And you can just tell,
1:00:17
Speaker 2: I mean, his demeanor changes. He's almost like a kid
1:00:19
Speaker 2: in a candy store around, all the construction hard hats
1:00:22
Speaker 2: and all the big all the big technology out there,
1:00:26
Speaker 2: the power tools.
1:00:28
Speaker 7: Well, and he's a builder, and we're seeing that, you know,
1:00:31
Speaker 7: both in domestic policy and international policy. You know, again,
1:00:35
Speaker 7: I know we're going to talk about some other stuff,
1:00:36
Speaker 7: but when you look at what's happening in the Middle
1:00:39
Speaker 7: East right now with the UAE and Saudi Arabian cutver
1:00:43
Speaker 7: and Bahrain and ku WHENI and Lebanon talking directly with Israel,
1:00:47
Speaker 7: this is an ethic shift in the Middle East that
1:00:50
Speaker 7: would never have happened, has never happened with any other
1:00:53
Speaker 7: president in history. And yet you know, he gets, you know,
1:00:57
Speaker 7: basically demeaned by the mainstream media the last attacks constantly,
1:01:01
Speaker 7: and yet he's a guy who steps up and does
1:01:04
Speaker 7: things that other president and ignore. I mean, Iran has
1:01:07
Speaker 7: been threatening the US and Israel and bullying everybody in
1:01:11
Speaker 7: the Middle East for forty seven plus years. No president
1:01:14
Speaker 7: has done anything about it. They've talked about it. We
1:01:16
Speaker 7: need to keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons, but talk
1:01:20
Speaker 7: is cheap and Trump well man of action.
1:01:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I want to circle back around, Yeah, I
1:01:26
Speaker 2: want to focus on what's happening with the primaries today,
1:01:29
Speaker 2: and there are two that were really paying close attention to,
1:01:33
Speaker 2: one of those being in Georgia, where you have a
1:01:35
Speaker 2: pretty contentious governor's race going on, gubernatorial race, and then
1:01:39
Speaker 2: you've got the Senate race, and the voter turnout was really,
1:01:44
Speaker 2: I think, at least early voting turnout really disappointing for Republicans.
1:01:48
Speaker 2: And we had the leegitant governor on Bert Jones. He's
1:01:51
Speaker 2: the Trump endorsed candidate going up against Rick Jackson, who
1:01:54
Speaker 2: seems to have the MAGA world backing there in Georgia,
1:01:59
Speaker 2: and Burt Jones says, hey, look, you know, we did
1:02:01
Speaker 2: not get a lot of support here from the Republican leadership,
1:02:05
Speaker 2: which led to I think Democrats outpacing Republicans by about
1:02:09
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty thousand early votes.
1:02:12
Speaker 7: Well, part of the problem in Georgia has been the
1:02:14
Speaker 7: leadership in Georgia, whether it's the governor camp, whether it's
1:02:18
Speaker 7: the Sexuary of state. They are not mag of Republicans
1:02:22
Speaker 7: and have pulled the rug out from under President Trump
1:02:25
Speaker 7: and conservative Republicans every step of the day, and that
1:02:30
Speaker 7: depresses Republican voter turnout when the leadership in their state
1:02:35
Speaker 7: are not real Republicans.
1:02:37
Speaker 2: I'm wondering, you know, again, when you look at, for example,
1:02:40
Speaker 2: the Senate race where Derek Dooley seems to be having
1:02:43
Speaker 2: a late surge. I was joking with our friend Martha
1:02:46
Speaker 2: Zaler yesterday on the show, it's a good thing those
1:02:49
Speaker 2: folks along via the border, the Tennessee border camp vote
1:02:52
Speaker 2: or duly might be doomed.
1:02:56
Speaker 7: Yeah, he made me a much better politician than he
1:02:58
Speaker 7: was a football coach, said at Sites City. So that
1:03:01
Speaker 7: may be he's finding his actual strengths and football coaching
1:03:05
Speaker 7: may not have been in Yeah. The other thing when
1:03:08
Speaker 7: you look at at Georgia is they have a runoff.
1:03:10
Speaker 7: So one of the things we see in Tennessee, for example,
1:03:13
Speaker 7: as you know, it's first to the boast, So we
1:03:17
Speaker 7: constantly have two or three conservatives will run and a rhino,
1:03:21
Speaker 7: a more modern Republican run, and the rhino will win
1:03:25
Speaker 7: thirty something percent of the vote, because we don't then
1:03:27
Speaker 7: have a runoff to find somebody who can get fifty percent.
1:03:30
Speaker 7: But one in Georgia, I think many of these races
1:03:34
Speaker 7: today are going to end up with runoffs, so conservatives
1:03:37
Speaker 7: can coalesce behind the best conservative candidates and put somebody
1:03:41
Speaker 7: in place who can maybe carry the standard forward in
1:03:45
Speaker 7: November better than if you have somebody who really does
1:03:48
Speaker 7: not appeal to that broad bag of conservative days.
1:03:50
Speaker 2: I'm curious about those governor's race because Matt Towry, our
1:03:54
Speaker 2: good friend insider advantage polling. They've actually got Rick Jackson,
1:03:58
Speaker 2: who's sort of like, you know, the businesess man. Put
1:04:00
Speaker 2: a lot of his own money, millions of dollars of
1:04:02
Speaker 2: his own money into the race. Uh, he's sort of
1:04:05
Speaker 2: a self made guy, and the people are attracted to that.
1:04:09
Speaker 2: I think it's splitting the mag of vote. And again,
1:04:11
Speaker 2: you've got four possible contenders. So the question is, are
1:04:14
Speaker 2: you're going to have two relative you know, the Trump
1:04:17
Speaker 2: guy is a magna guy, the lieugenant governor and Rick
1:04:20
Speaker 2: Jackson in the runoff, or could you get one of
1:04:22
Speaker 2: the never Trumpers in the I think you got Chris Carr,
1:04:26
Speaker 2: He's not another Trumper, but Raffensburger. So that's going to
1:04:29
Speaker 2: be a pretty interesting race to watch tonight. Will Trump's
1:04:33
Speaker 2: endorsement get the lieutenant governor across the finish line?
1:04:36
Speaker 7: Well In, Rafisberger is sectary of state. He's the guy
1:04:39
Speaker 7: in charge of counting the voats. We saw how that
1:04:41
Speaker 7: worked in I think it was the Arizona where the
1:04:44
Speaker 7: Sectory of State counted the votes and said, oh, I
1:04:46
Speaker 7: won despite all the voter fraud that is that has
1:04:49
Speaker 7: taken place there. So I think that when you look
1:04:52
Speaker 7: at trend lines in polls, if poles are generally two
1:04:56
Speaker 7: or three days behind where things actually are, and when
1:04:59
Speaker 7: you look at the trend mines, I think it's crety
1:05:02
Speaker 7: likely that we end up with two conservatives at the
1:05:04
Speaker 7: top in a runoff rather than one of the rhinos
1:05:07
Speaker 7: getting in.
1:05:07
Speaker 2: So you mentioned this, this is bizarre part of the story,
1:05:10
Speaker 2: and I know we've got a lot of listeners in Georgia.
1:05:13
Speaker 2: So it turns out that after the votes are counted,
1:05:15
Speaker 2: the results are going to be aggregated tonight by the
1:05:19
Speaker 2: Secretary of State, Brad Raethensberger from a secret bunker which
1:05:24
Speaker 2: is off limits to candidates, the public, and even the
1:05:27
Speaker 2: state election board. And there's a lawsuit that's been filed
1:05:32
Speaker 2: over all of this. You have to wonder what in
1:05:34
Speaker 2: the world are they thinking, especially after what happened in
1:05:37
Speaker 2: the presidential election.
1:05:39
Speaker 7: Well, again, more and more evident comes forth that the
1:05:42
Speaker 7: votes in Georgia were solen before and now to have
1:05:46
Speaker 7: this secret bunker where you know they're going to keep
1:05:49
Speaker 7: everybody from looking and till the guy in the side, oh,
1:05:52
Speaker 7: look by the most amazing cood incidence, I counted the
1:05:55
Speaker 7: votes that I won.
1:05:56
Speaker 11: This is third world, it's insane, but.
1:05:59
Speaker 7: Former Soviet this is Chinese communism at work in the
1:06:03
Speaker 7: red state of Georgia.
1:06:05
Speaker 2: The voter ga is all over this. Their co founder
1:06:09
Speaker 2: says this in a quote and a press release. And
1:06:12
Speaker 2: she had another example where Brad Raffensberger refuses to comply
1:06:15
Speaker 2: with Georgia law. It began in twenty nineteen when he
1:06:18
Speaker 2: took office when he purchased one hundred million dollars voting
1:06:21
Speaker 2: machine system that a US district court found in violation
1:06:24
Speaker 2: of two Georgia statutes. It is both obvious and mandatory
1:06:29
Speaker 2: that statewide election eight aggregation must be moved out of
1:06:33
Speaker 2: the bunker so it is not conducted in secret.
1:06:38
Speaker 7: Well, and again you have you know, where's the Georgia
1:06:41
Speaker 7: Attorney General, Where's the US Attorney General? Where's the Department
1:06:44
Speaker 7: of Justice? I mean, I love how President Trump, God
1:06:47
Speaker 7: bless him, will talk a lot about voter fraud after
1:06:51
Speaker 7: elections occur but here we have it seemingly taking place
1:06:55
Speaker 7: wide open before the votes are counted. Seems to me
1:06:59
Speaker 7: that might be the right time to step in and
1:07:01
Speaker 7: make sure things are done right.
1:07:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just weird, So we'll see how that plays out.
1:07:06
Speaker 4: Then.
1:07:06
Speaker 2: Of course, you heard what President Trump said just moments
1:07:09
Speaker 2: ago about Thomas Massey. He does not like this guy
1:07:13
Speaker 2: at all.
1:07:15
Speaker 7: You know, you can really get on Trump's bad side
1:07:17
Speaker 7: when you both do impeaching based upon hoaxes and false information.
1:07:22
Speaker 7: And Masthew voted to impeach President Trump. So yeah, a
1:07:25
Speaker 7: lot of people are saying, oh, you know, Massey is
1:07:28
Speaker 7: just the odged with Trump because Matthew's not going along
1:07:31
Speaker 7: with what's going on and you're gone or anything else. No,
1:07:34
Speaker 7: Massey has shown himself time and time again but not
1:07:37
Speaker 7: reflect the values of his congressional district, which is a
1:07:40
Speaker 7: rural congressional district in Kentucky. And I think he goes
1:07:43
Speaker 7: down today and good riddance. And unlike some of these
1:07:47
Speaker 7: other guys like Cassidy and Louisiana, he's already voting against
1:07:52
Speaker 7: President Trump. He's not gonna have that much impact. But
1:07:54
Speaker 7: these guys will still have boats to cast between now
1:07:57
Speaker 7: and January, and you know they're gonna even more vindicted
1:08:01
Speaker 7: towards Trump once once they've been defeated and are not
1:08:04
Speaker 7: going to be carrying forward in the next congressional or
1:08:07
Speaker 7: Senate session.
1:08:08
Speaker 2: All right, Steve Gill joining us on our Patriot Mobile
1:08:11
Speaker 2: newsmaker line. It is going to be a fascinating thing
1:08:15
Speaker 2: to watch. And Steve, real quick here they're saying this
1:08:17
Speaker 2: is the Massy thing is going to be a referendum
1:08:19
Speaker 2: on Trump. It's like every election is a referendum on Trump.
1:08:22
Speaker 4: Here.
1:08:23
Speaker 2: Ultimately, the people of the Commonwealth are going to decide,
1:08:26
Speaker 2: but clearly they're on President Trump's side here.
1:08:29
Speaker 7: I think, well, in this congressional district voted overwhelmingly for
1:08:33
Speaker 7: Donald Trump. So again, I think the people in that
1:08:35
Speaker 7: district have an affinity more for Trump than than Matthew
1:08:39
Speaker 7: who's been re elected and the most incumbents do time
1:08:41
Speaker 7: and time again. Yeah, I think that this is going
1:08:44
Speaker 7: to be another notch in President Trump's belt. When you're
1:08:47
Speaker 7: seeing all you know, the Indiana senators who blocked redistricting,
1:08:51
Speaker 7: when you're seeing the other people that Trump is endorsed,
1:08:53
Speaker 7: I don't know if it's thirty six and oh at
1:08:55
Speaker 7: this point in this election cycle. If it's thirty six
1:08:59
Speaker 7: and oh today, it'll be thirty seven and oh tomorrow
1:09:02
Speaker 7: after MASSI goes down.
1:09:03
Speaker 2: All right, Steve, always good hearing from you. Tell us
1:09:06
Speaker 2: where people can check out tri Star Daily and some
1:09:09
Speaker 2: of the great work you guys are doing.
1:09:11
Speaker 7: Yeah, go to TriStar Daily dot com Tristardaily dot com
1:09:15
Speaker 7: and you'll find thanks for a lot of stories involving Tennessee.
1:09:18
Speaker 7: By the way, some breaking news we just put up. Nashville,
1:09:21
Speaker 7: Tennessee is going to be the site of the super
1:09:24
Speaker 7: Bowl in twenty thirty. So the super Bowl coming south
1:09:27
Speaker 7: to Nashville in twenty thirty.
1:09:30
Speaker 2: Wow. So that is sort of a major news they're putting.
1:09:34
Speaker 2: Let me get this right. So they built a stadium
1:09:36
Speaker 2: and it's not it wasn't all that old. Ryan is
1:09:39
Speaker 2: twenty years old and they tore it down and they're
1:09:41
Speaker 2: building a news stadium.
1:09:43
Speaker 7: Yeah. My big question, tod is who's going to do
1:09:45
Speaker 7: the halftime show? Hopefully, by putting it in Nashville, will
1:09:49
Speaker 7: actually have a country music halftime show that America and
1:09:53
Speaker 7: the world will want to watch rather than bad Bunny
1:09:56
Speaker 7: being jomved at our throat.
1:09:57
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, We're not getting any bad bunnies at the
1:09:59
Speaker 2: name super Bowl, no way. You know what Tennis, this
1:10:04
Speaker 2: may require I don't know at that point, Uh what
1:10:07
Speaker 2: is it would be? Governor Governor Blackburn would have to
1:10:10
Speaker 2: step in and uh put down an executive order or
1:10:14
Speaker 2: something banning the money the least. Oh there you go.
1:10:19
Speaker 2: All right, Steve gil my friend. Good hearing from you. Thanks,
1:10:23
Speaker 2: all right, Trystar Daily dot com. You know, Dylan, there's
1:10:27
Speaker 2: no way they have to go with the country music
1:10:29
Speaker 2: band if they're doing the super Bowl in Nashville.
1:10:33
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's a no brainer, you would think.
1:10:35
Speaker 2: And not like you know what they're gonna say, Taylor Swift,
1:10:38
Speaker 2: that's not country.
1:10:39
Speaker 3: Yeah. And she doesn't even go around there anymore. She
1:10:41
Speaker 3: doesn't associate herself. Oh that does.
1:10:43
Speaker 2: She not like us anymore? I know she and Blackburn
1:10:47
Speaker 2: had a problem.
1:10:48
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2: listening to us on KWAM. Todd, just a note to
1:12:45
Speaker 2: say how thankful I am that you are healing and
1:12:48

1:13:03
Speaker 2: thank you for that, Vicky Yandy. Dylan, we also got
1:13:08
Speaker 2: we just got an email in from Joy. What's area
1:13:13
Speaker 2: code four to one? Oh, somebody google that real quick, Joy,
1:13:16
Speaker 2: says Todd. Though I enjoy your talk show and learn
1:13:20
Speaker 2: learn a lot of info from it, I'm concerned about
1:13:22
Speaker 2: your many references to the Christian nationalism you enthusiastically support.
1:13:27
Speaker 2: You do support other religions such as Judaism and also Israel. However,
1:13:32
Speaker 2: you also insist this is a Christian nation. No it isn't.
1:13:36
Speaker 2: This is a Judaeo Christian republic. I won't continue with
1:13:40
Speaker 2: the rest of my thoughts. That's for another time.
1:13:43
Speaker 3: She's in Maryland.
1:13:45
Speaker 2: Oh Joy, it must listen to us on WCBM. So look, Joy,
1:13:49
Speaker 2: I well, thank you for writing to me. We got
1:13:51
Speaker 2: to get the music. I gotta have the vibe. We
1:13:54
Speaker 2: have to have the vibe here. Thank you Dylan. We
1:13:56
Speaker 2: had a lot of mail today, So Joy, look, here's
1:13:59
Speaker 2: the deal. We are a Christian nation. You know, it's
1:14:02
Speaker 2: interesting our founding fathers. Not a single founding father was Jewish.
1:14:06
Speaker 2: An overwhelming number of them happen to be Christian. Zero
1:14:10
Speaker 2: point one percent of the early patriots of the country
1:14:14
Speaker 2: identified as Jewish. So when you look at when you
1:14:17
Speaker 2: say Judeo Christian, that means we are influenced by the
1:14:21
Speaker 2: Old Testament teachings. But I truly believe when you read
1:14:25
Speaker 2: the teacher the writings of our founding fathers, that we
1:14:28
Speaker 2: were in fact meant to be a Christian nation. And
1:14:30
Speaker 2: that is not a slide against Jews or Muslims or
1:14:34
Speaker 2: Hindus or atheist or anybody else. But under the presubstant
1:14:40
Speaker 2: teachings of Christianity, you're able to worship however you want
1:14:45
Speaker 2: to worship without fear of being persecuted. And by the way,
1:14:48
Speaker 2: we don't talk. I mean, how many times have I
1:14:51
Speaker 2: mentioned Christian nationalism of that. I don't talk all the
1:14:54
Speaker 2: time about it. I think I mentioned it yesterday because
1:14:56
Speaker 2: it was brought up in the context of the America
1:14:59
Speaker 2: two fifty what's celebration there on the Washington all over
1:15:02
Speaker 2: the weekend. So anyway, it's all right, joy and look,
1:15:06
Speaker 2: continue with your thoughts. And we love, we love our
1:15:10
Speaker 2: fan mail, whether good or bad. We read it on
1:15:13
Speaker 2: the air, So anyway, gotta leave it there, and you
1:15:17
Speaker 2: can always send us a note. If you want to
1:15:20
Speaker 2: get our address, you can call Miss Helen and she
1:15:23
Speaker 2: will pass along that information to you. Nine oh one
1:15:25
Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six our number. That's
1:15:29
Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
1:15:32
Speaker 2: coming up your calls. Plus Darren Bailey running to be
1:15:37
Speaker 2: the next governor of the state of Illinois. We'll be
1:15:40
Speaker 2: right back America.
1:15:57
Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Mint, Tennessee. It's
1:16:01
Speaker 1: America's favorite gun total Bible clinging deplorable American.
1:16:12
Speaker 4: Jud start.
1:16:15
Speaker 2: All right, well, hello everybody, welcome to our three of
1:16:18
Speaker 2: the Big Show. Great to have you with us, And
1:16:20
Speaker 2: of course it is all politics today. We have a
1:16:24
Speaker 2: lot of big races happening around the country. Of course,
1:16:28
Speaker 2: The big story is what's happening in Georgia and Kentucky
1:16:33
Speaker 2: today six primary races. In Illinois, Republicans there feel like
1:16:38
Speaker 2: they can make big gains. JB. Pritzker has really pretty
1:16:43
Speaker 2: much destroyed the state. It's really unfortunate. And what's happening
1:16:46
Speaker 2: in Chicago with the mayor, that crazy mayor Brandon Johnson
1:16:49
Speaker 2: just unbelievable. I want to go to the Patriot Mobile
1:16:52
Speaker 2: newsmaker line and say hello to Darren Bailey, who is
1:16:55
Speaker 2: the Republican running for governor. They're in the great state
1:16:59
Speaker 2: of Illinois. Wait, Darren, what a great honor to have
1:17:02
Speaker 2: you with us today.
1:17:03
Speaker 13: Well, Todd, thank you so much for this opportunity. It
1:17:06
Speaker 13: is indeed and honor. Thank you.
1:17:08
Speaker 2: So I'm curious here, you know, it's it's been a
1:17:10
Speaker 2: challenge for Republicans in Illinois, no doubt about that. But
1:17:14
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if these if these failed policies of the Democrats,
1:17:18
Speaker 2: if people are waking up and they're starting to understand
1:17:22
Speaker 2: what's going on in their state.
1:17:25
Speaker 13: Absolutely, I'll tell you what I think this race, this
1:17:27
Speaker 13: governor's race, is the most overlooked race in the nation.
1:17:30
Speaker 13: And I truly believe that because if JB. Pritzker wins
1:17:34
Speaker 13: in November November fourth, he'll be launching his presidential bid,
1:17:38
Speaker 13: and heaven forbid, he is able to have a chance
1:17:41
Speaker 13: to do to the United States what he has done
1:17:43
Speaker 13: here in Illinois. So you know, when I'm up in
1:17:46
Speaker 13: the Chicago so I'm I'm a farmer of the southern
1:17:48
Speaker 13: end of the state. When I'm up in Chicago, my
1:17:51
Speaker 13: wife and I just every day we're meeting people. They're tired,
1:17:54
Speaker 13: they're they're tired of being oppressed. I mean, the people,
1:17:57
Speaker 13: the taxpayers here in Illinois are the high as taxed
1:18:01
Speaker 13: people in the nation. And yes, they're ready to shrug
1:18:04
Speaker 13: that off. And we have that wonderful opportunity if we
1:18:06
Speaker 13: can just get the voter turn out.
1:18:08
Speaker 2: What's what's been the response around the state as you've
1:18:11
Speaker 2: been out and you mentioned you're a farmer. I saw
1:18:14
Speaker 2: a report to what you were getting a little place
1:18:16
Speaker 2: in Chicago, and how's that working.
1:18:19
Speaker 4: Out for you?
1:18:20
Speaker 13: Well, it's working out great. You know, I was the
1:18:23
Speaker 13: Republican nominee four years ago and and the biggest difference
1:18:27
Speaker 13: right now is the response we're getting in Chicago. You know,
1:18:30
Speaker 13: our our our messaging is you know, affordability, it's safety
1:18:34
Speaker 13: and its education. People can't afford to live in this state.
1:18:37
Speaker 13: Businesses aren't coming here because of that. You know, people
1:18:40
Speaker 13: don't feel safe. You can see that in just any
1:18:42
Speaker 13: headline you read about the shootings and this gregious safety
1:18:45
Speaker 13: act that we have and our schools are failing. I
1:18:47
Speaker 13: don't think the people in Ellinois or in Chicago really
1:18:50
Speaker 13: realized that or felt that, but their pocket books are pinched.
1:18:54
Speaker 13: Everyone across the state is scared to death to take
1:18:56
Speaker 13: a look at their next property tax built. They're scared
1:18:59
Speaker 13: to death to open the next utility bill. So we're
1:19:02
Speaker 13: keeping that to message alive that JB. Pritchcker owns every
1:19:05
Speaker 13: bit of this mess that he's created.
1:19:07
Speaker 2: No doubt about it. And of course, the sanctuary state policies,
1:19:11
Speaker 2: the sanctuary city policies where time and time again, I
1:19:15
Speaker 2: think that even the citizens of Chicago's South Side, they
1:19:18
Speaker 2: understand exactly what is going on. And I'm wondering if
1:19:22
Speaker 2: that's an opportunity for Republicans and for yourself it is.
1:19:26
Speaker 13: It's the opportunity of lifetime for and for Republicans to
1:19:30
Speaker 13: you know, stand on our values and stand on our
1:19:33
Speaker 13: message and That's the reason that I've been propelled, you know,
1:19:37
Speaker 13: to this position because I served one term as the
1:19:39
Speaker 13: state representative. I served one term as the state Senator.
1:19:42
Speaker 13: The people across Illinois know me for you know, when
1:19:45
Speaker 13: I say something, I mean it, and I think they're
1:19:48
Speaker 13: tired this era here in Illinois of being governed by
1:19:52
Speaker 13: trust fund billionaires. It simply isn't working because JB. Pritzker
1:19:56
Speaker 13: has absolutely nothing in common with any he won in Illinois.
1:20:00
Speaker 13: He just thinks that this economy things, life just keep flowing,
1:20:04
Speaker 13: because I assume you would if you had all the
1:20:06
Speaker 13: money and had no cares in the world.
1:20:08
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, it's a fair point. And again, I
1:20:10
Speaker 2: think a lot of folks forget that. They don't they
1:20:13
Speaker 2: think about Illinois and they just think Chicago, and they
1:20:16
Speaker 2: don't realize there's there's a lot of farm land in
1:20:19
Speaker 2: that great state.
1:20:21
Speaker 13: There is, there's a lot of patriots, but more than importantly,
1:20:24
Speaker 13: there's a lot of fed up people. So we'll you know,
1:20:27
Speaker 13: this race, we just got to generate turnout downstate outside
1:20:30
Speaker 13: of Chicago and the Caller counties, and we got to
1:20:33
Speaker 13: garner about twenty eight percent of the vote in Cook
1:20:36
Speaker 13: County and I'm telling you we can do that. It's
1:20:39
Speaker 13: doable because the people they're tired, and who wouldn't you know,
1:20:43
Speaker 13: it's time for a new day. And when we look
1:20:45
Speaker 13: at the past several years, in the last twenty years,
1:20:47
Speaker 13: when other Republican governors were elected, it really came upon
1:20:51
Speaker 13: the same situation that we have now. Government was failing
1:20:54
Speaker 13: the people and a Republican got elected. And I think
1:20:58
Speaker 13: that's what we've got here are Poe suggests that the
1:21:01
Speaker 13: feel on the street says that we just got to
1:21:05
Speaker 13: do it right and make sure we don't let the
1:21:06
Speaker 13: people down here in Illinois, and that we start building
1:21:09
Speaker 13: a state of prosperity instead of a disastrous.
1:21:12
Speaker 2: I saw there there's a group what called Illinois Policy,
1:21:15
Speaker 2: and they're saying that Pritzker has presided over I'm just
1:21:19
Speaker 2: shocked by this number. Seventy seven billion dollars in increases
1:21:24
Speaker 2: while the state's economy lags behind. That is that true?
1:21:28
Speaker 2: I mean this is those are pretty massive numbers.
1:21:31
Speaker 4: Oh.
1:21:31
Speaker 13: Absolutely, Illinois Policy is a rock solid organization and they'll
1:21:35
Speaker 13: be right there by my side as governor working on policy.
1:21:38
Speaker 13: When I started this journey in twenty seventeen, I started
1:21:42
Speaker 13: it because Illinois was proposing a thirty two percent tax
1:21:46
Speaker 13: increase and too many Republicans went along with it. Back
1:21:50
Speaker 13: in twenty in the budget of twenty eighteen, our budget
1:21:52
Speaker 13: stood at thirty two billion dollars, and if Pritzker gets
1:21:55
Speaker 13: his way here in a few days, which I believe
1:21:57
Speaker 13: he will, we will be looking at a fifth the
1:22:00
Speaker 13: six billion dollar budget and life in Illinois. We have
1:22:03
Speaker 13: the highest gas tax, we have the highest local state taxes.
1:22:07
Speaker 13: It's time for some relief. The people need relief, and
1:22:10
Speaker 13: you can find a lot of those numbers on my
1:22:12
Speaker 13: web page, Bailey for Illinois dot Com. The Blueprint Illinois
1:22:16
Speaker 13: dot Com is a page where I've got a lot
1:22:18
Speaker 13: of this data you can even do your own searching
1:22:20
Speaker 13: on that. You literally can't make up more disastrous policies
1:22:25
Speaker 13: than Pritzker has implemented here in Illinois.
1:22:28
Speaker 2: Well, it's just it's really shocking and sad. A beautiful state,
1:22:32
Speaker 2: beautiful people, and again this tax situation that is just
1:22:36
Speaker 2: that is just unacceptable. Again, mister Bailey, I want you
1:22:39
Speaker 2: to give us the website where people can go with it,
1:22:42
Speaker 2: want to get more information about your great campaign.
1:22:45
Speaker 13: Well, thank you very much. Blueprint for Illinois dot com.
1:22:48
Speaker 13: You can see the plan. You can even do your
1:22:49
Speaker 13: own searching for these terrible policies and Bailey forellinoid dot com.
1:22:54
Speaker 13: We'd love to connect with you. We'd love to earn
1:22:58
Speaker 13: your support.
1:22:58
Speaker 4: I do mean this.
1:22:59
Speaker 13: We are the most overlooked just because we're in Illinois.
1:23:03
Speaker 13: A campaign in this nation. We can stop JB. Pritzger

Speaker 13: Lawrence farm down in the Memphis, Tennessee over in the
1:23:27
Speaker 13: Arkansas area, and years ago they had some farm ground
1:23:31
Speaker 13: up here. So I'm very familiar with your area. We
1:23:33
Speaker 13: farmed their ground and corn, soybeans and wheat. If you'd
1:23:36

1:23:40
Speaker 13: some of our o wheat.
1:23:41
Speaker 2: Oh very nice. Well, you know it's interesting A lot
1:23:43
Speaker 2: of people don't realize West Tennessee is really the farmland
1:23:47
Speaker 2: of the entire state of Tennessee. So it's a flat
1:23:50
Speaker 2: out here. Beautiful mountains over in the east and Middle Tennessee,
1:23:54
Speaker 2: but we're just nice and flat. A few hills in
1:23:57
Speaker 2: the Memphis area.
1:23:58

1:24:47
Speaker 2: All right, We're gonna take a quick break here, folks.
1:24:49
Speaker 2: Our telephone number nine oh one two six zero five,
1:24:52
Speaker 2: nine two six. Again that number, nine oh one two
1:24:55
Speaker 2: six zero five to nine two six. This is the
1:24:58
Speaker 2: Todd Starns Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. This is
1:25:10
Speaker 2: the Tom Starns Radio Show. We asked you a question
1:25:14
Speaker 2: early on in the program. What do you want to
1:25:16
Speaker 2: see the Republicans do to get you fired up? Or
1:25:19
Speaker 2: are you just already fired up? Because let me tell
1:25:21
Speaker 2: let me tell you something. The Democrats they have already
1:25:25
Speaker 2: laid out their game plan and it is going to
1:25:27
Speaker 2: be an Impeacha Paloosa. They're going to try to undo
1:25:31
Speaker 2: all of the redistricting, and they're going to try to
1:25:33
Speaker 2: pack the court. I mean, that's the game plan. Democrats
1:25:36
Speaker 2: are spelling it out for us. Which is why it
1:25:39
Speaker 2: doesn't matter how upset you are at the Republican Party.
1:25:43
Speaker 2: You got to get out of vote. You've just got
1:25:45
Speaker 2: to do it. Nine oh one two six zero five,
1:25:47
Speaker 2: nine two six. It's going to Mike in Memphis, Tennessee,
1:25:51
Speaker 2: listening to us on KWAM. Mike, what's on your mind?
1:25:55
Speaker 11: Greetings, Todd, you were talking earlier about the Kentucky race
1:25:59
Speaker 11: for the Congression. We'll see with Massey, and I don't
1:26:02
Speaker 11: really see this as a referendum against President Trump as
1:26:05
Speaker 11: much as I see it against the candidate that Trump
1:26:08
Speaker 11: is endorsing. He supports draft and compulsory service, just like Israel,
1:26:13
Speaker 11: and there's a lot of people that don't want to
1:26:15
Speaker 11: send their kids off to a war in the Middle East,
1:26:17
Speaker 11: which is not our war. Otherwise, the uither Party's got
1:26:22
Speaker 11: a problem, and this is why I see all incumbents
1:26:26
Speaker 11: having a hard time. This is a referendum, as I say,
1:26:29
Speaker 11: it's going to be against both parties because they're ultimately
1:26:32
Speaker 11: you look at their lobbying funds, they're all controlled by
1:26:35
Speaker 11: the APAC Group, which is what they put tens of
1:26:38
Speaker 11: billions of dollars in this campaign against Thomas Massey, not
1:26:42
Speaker 11: directly in their own name, but in different groups. But
1:26:45
Speaker 11: they're coming after him because he doesn't take their money
1:26:48
Speaker 11: and support their every will and that's that's got to stop.
1:26:51
Speaker 11: This has got to be America first, not Israel first.
1:26:54
Speaker 11: And I think that's what's going to come down to
1:26:56
Speaker 11: a lot of people not supporting either party.
1:26:59
Speaker 2: See no, No, I know a lot of people like
1:27:01
Speaker 2: Thomas Massey. I know this type of person. If you don't,
1:27:04
Speaker 2: it's it's their way. They know all. You know nothing.
1:27:08
Speaker 2: And if you do not support everything they support, if
1:27:11
Speaker 2: you don't breathe the way they breathe, if you don't
1:27:13
Speaker 2: dress the way they dress, if you don't go to
1:27:15
Speaker 2: the church that they approve that you go to, then
1:27:18
Speaker 2: you're really not a true Republican or you're not a
1:27:21
Speaker 2: true Conservative. And I'm sorry, I just don't buy I
1:27:25
Speaker 2: don't buy into that one bit, Mike. And I see
1:27:29
Speaker 2: these types around Memphis, Tennessee, where I live and make
1:27:32
Speaker 2: my home. And you know what those people are at
1:27:34
Speaker 2: the end of the day, Mike, they're losers because they
1:27:37
Speaker 2: they don't build coalitions.
1:27:40
Speaker 11: I don't see Massy buying people's shoes like President Trump.
1:27:45
Speaker 2: What do you mean buying shoes?
1:27:47
Speaker 11: Well, you said, if they don't dress like you, they
1:27:50
Speaker 11: don't you know, you're not part of their clique. And
1:27:52
Speaker 11: Trump's buying shoes for his cabinet, so they look exactly
1:27:55
Speaker 11: the way he wants them to look.
1:27:57
Speaker 2: Well, what's wrong with that? I mean if I'm a businessman,
1:27:59
Speaker 2: for example, Okay, I own a business. When we go
1:28:03
Speaker 2: out and we do an event with the radio station
1:28:05
Speaker 2: that I own. I require our staff to look and
1:28:08
Speaker 2: act a certain way. Now, Donald Trump on the other
1:28:11
Speaker 2: side of it, Donald Trump is not going to the
1:28:13
Speaker 2: average citizen and saying you have to wear you know,
1:28:16
Speaker 2: Italian loafers. I don't know what kind of a shoe
1:28:18
Speaker 2: he wears. But again I don't have I don't have
1:28:21
Speaker 2: a problem with that at all.
1:28:23
Speaker 11: I just I just think that it's the people's agenda,
1:28:26
Speaker 11: not President Trump's agenda, nor Israel segut.
1:28:29
Speaker 2: No, no, but no, it's president It is President Trump's agenda,
1:28:32
Speaker 2: which is our agenda. I mean that's Look, when you
1:28:35
Speaker 2: go back to the whole point of this, the reason
1:28:38
Speaker 2: why Donald Trump got elected is because the Republican Party
1:28:42
Speaker 2: kept sticking it to the to the grassroots of the party,
1:28:46
Speaker 2: and Trump saw this and said, you know what, these
1:28:48
Speaker 2: are the issues I believe in. I'm going to deliver
1:28:51
Speaker 2: on these issues. And so far he's done a pretty
1:28:54
Speaker 2: durn good job of that. I mean, can he do better, yeah, absolutely,
1:28:57
Speaker 2: But so far I think he's done a pretty good job.
1:29:00
Speaker 11: The issue of no new wars, battery economy, and the
1:29:03
Speaker 11: Epstein files, these are things that we're looking at and
1:29:07
Speaker 11: right now, gas double what it was six months ago.
1:29:11
Speaker 11: I just filled up this morning, and yeah, it's it's
1:29:14
Speaker 11: affecting a lot of people. And if we nationalized our oil,
1:29:17
Speaker 11: we could solve that problem. We wouldn't have to worry
1:29:20
Speaker 11: about international corporations or anybody. We would be getting it
1:29:24
Speaker 11: at less than dollar gallon with the gas tax.
1:29:26
Speaker 4: What do you pay?
1:29:27
Speaker 2: What'd you pay for gas? By the way today, I'm curious, Mike.
1:29:30
Speaker 11: You know where I go, SAMs Club, and they're the
1:29:33
Speaker 11: cheapest in town. Three ninety three eighty nine, three eighty nine.
1:29:37
Speaker 11: So it's come down a little bit.
1:29:39
Speaker 2: Oh, I got to go fill up a Cadillac after
1:29:41
Speaker 2: the show. I've been holding off. It's not good.
1:29:44
Speaker 5: Three.
1:29:44
Speaker 2: I'm not a member of Sands Club though. Does Costco
1:29:47
Speaker 2: do gas? I can't remember?
1:29:48
Speaker 11: Or crowgra Germantown Parkway.
1:29:51
Speaker 2: Oh oh that's good to know. All right, I'll go
1:29:54
Speaker 2: check out their prices. I'm trying not to drive too
1:29:56
Speaker 2: much because you know gas is so high. But to
1:29:59
Speaker 2: your point, I get I look, I get everything you're saying.
1:30:01
Speaker 2: And Mike, I I want the Epstein files released. I
1:30:05
Speaker 2: wanted all this stuff that was promised to me. But
1:30:08
Speaker 2: the question but the reality is it's not going to happen,
1:30:12
Speaker 2: and so now we have to figure out, all right,
1:30:15
Speaker 2: what why do why do we need to go and
1:30:18
Speaker 2: vote in November? And that's going to be that's going
1:30:21
Speaker 2: to be a conversation that every single person is going
1:30:25
Speaker 2: to have to have with themselves. And the reality is,
1:30:29
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, and I hate to
1:30:31
Speaker 2: say this, it's been a lot of talk and not
1:30:34
Speaker 2: much action, and that's just the reality of it. Look
1:30:38
Speaker 2: after the after this administration is over, we're going to
1:30:41
Speaker 2: be able to rehash all of this and look back.
1:30:44
Speaker 2: But you know, it is what it is. And I'm
1:30:47
Speaker 2: sorry to say that, but it is what it is,
1:30:51
Speaker 2: all right, Mike, appreciate the call. I think I discouraged, Mike.
1:30:56
Speaker 2: I'm just being a realist. When I see when I
1:31:00
Speaker 2: see the wrecking ball being lodged directly into the Department
1:31:04
Speaker 2: of Education, that is when I'm going to be celebrating.
1:31:08
Speaker 2: Because right now there's a huge comp there's a huge
1:31:12
Speaker 2: debate and huge outrage in California because transgender athletes are
1:31:17
Speaker 2: still beating young girls in these races. And it was
1:31:21
Speaker 2: my understanding, and please correct me if I'm wrong. Labias
1:31:23
Speaker 2: and gentlemen, it was my understanding that Donald Trump was
1:31:27
Speaker 2: going to yank federal funding from any school district that
1:31:31
Speaker 2: allowed that to happen. And it hasn't happened, and I
1:31:37
Speaker 2: got a problem with that. But you know what, I'm
1:31:39
Speaker 2: still going out. I'm still going to go vote. This
1:31:45
Speaker 2: does not bode well for twenty twenty eighth, though, I'll
1:31:47
Speaker 2: certainly tell you that much. Nine oh one two six
1:31:50
Speaker 2: zero five nine two six is our telephone number. That's
1:31:53
Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
1:31:56
Speaker 2: And people are saying, give it time, starns, give it time.
1:31:59
Speaker 2: We don't have time, don't We don't have time. And
1:32:04
Speaker 2: I know we heard one of our earlier callers saying,
1:32:07
Speaker 2: you know, there's still time to pass the Sitting to
1:32:08
Speaker 2: save America. No, there's not, and that's not going to happen.
1:32:12
Speaker 2: And I don't know what other talk radio hosts are
1:32:14
Speaker 2: telling you. I'm just I know how these people think,
1:32:17
Speaker 2: I know how they operate. And the reality is it's
1:32:20
Speaker 2: not going to happen. I mean, it really is that simple.
1:32:25
Speaker 2: And it doesn't bother me, you darn tootin it does.
1:32:29
Speaker 2: It absolutely bothers By the way, Senator John Kenney fired
1:32:36
Speaker 2: up over Medicaid fraud, and again we're exposing all this fraud.
1:32:40
Speaker 2: Who is being held responsible for all of this stuff?
1:32:42
Speaker 2: Cut NAP nineteen.
1:32:43
Speaker 14: Please California will actually pay a health care provider. I
1:32:47
Speaker 14: didn't know this was some medical expectise to pay for
1:32:50
Speaker 14: exorcisms is all right.
1:32:55
Speaker 4: I'll accept that center, but that's that's it.
1:32:57
Speaker 14: They pay the California Medicaid program will pay for herbal medicines,
1:33:04
Speaker 14: meal deliveries, They pay for housing. I don't know what
1:33:08
Speaker 14: housing has.
1:33:09
Speaker 4: To do with health care.
1:33:10
Speaker 14: Is that correct?
1:33:11
Speaker 4: Yes?
1:33:12
Speaker 14: Were you aware that the Medicaid program, using federal money,
1:33:17
Speaker 14: taxpayer money, will pay for an in home chief.
1:33:23
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, it's a family member. Yes.
1:33:26
Speaker 14: Yeah. They'll even pay for gymnasium fees through Medicaid in California.
1:33:33
Speaker 14: They'll pay for bicycles, scooters, gym memberships.
1:33:38
Speaker 4: Did you know that? Yes, several says stupid California does.
1:33:42
Speaker 4: For sure.
1:33:43
Speaker 14: They'll even repay your student loans.
1:33:45
Speaker 4: Were you aware that I was not aware of the
1:33:48
Speaker 4: student loans rep Yeah.
1:33:50
Speaker 14: They'll go to repay somebody's student loans to encourage them
1:33:54
Speaker 14: to become a health care provider.
1:33:57
Speaker 2: Exorcisms we're paying for extra systems. Now, okay, I thought,
1:34:02
Speaker 2: don't the Catholics do that for free? Doesn't that come
1:34:05
Speaker 2: with like your times and offerings? Over on the Baptist side,
1:34:10
Speaker 2: we just whack you upside the head with a hardback
1:34:12
Speaker 2: Bible and that kind of takes care of the demons.
1:34:14
Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
1:34:18
Speaker 2: This is the Todd Sterns Show. All right, welcome back, everybody.
1:34:35
Speaker 2: This is the Todd Sterns Radio show.
1:34:38
Speaker 12: Man.
1:34:38
Speaker 2: I just need to ask a question to hear and
1:34:40
Speaker 2: I you guys help save me some money going to
1:34:43
Speaker 2: the doctor. But I'm just curious. After heart surgery, I
1:34:46
Speaker 2: have noticed my my vision has changed and I don't
1:34:50
Speaker 2: know if it's for the better or not. But I'm
1:34:52
Speaker 2: wondering if that's like a normal thing that you're your eyesight.
1:34:55
Speaker 2: I was doing some reading. You know, it's always dangerous
1:34:58
Speaker 2: to google your like symptoms because Dylan. I was doing
1:35:03
Speaker 2: that a couple of days when it was like, oh,
1:35:04
Speaker 2: you have total cancer and I'm like, no, I don't
1:35:08
Speaker 2: think that's it.
1:35:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a it will tell you the worst case scenario.
1:35:14
Speaker 4: No I did.
1:35:14
Speaker 2: I sent my carniologists a note I'm not sure if
1:35:17
Speaker 2: I'm charged per question, but I've been asking a lot
1:35:19
Speaker 2: of questions only because look, I look, I've gone to
1:35:22
Speaker 2: the brink and I don't want to go like I
1:35:24
Speaker 2: want to. I don't want to get to the brink again.
1:35:26
Speaker 15: So just.
1:35:29
Speaker 2: Asking a lot of questions.
1:35:30
Speaker 3: His job, right, I just He'll be fine. Just keep asking.
1:35:36
Speaker 2: It beats making an the pointment. Oh, I've had like
1:35:38
Speaker 2: a low grade fever, and so I'm talking low grade fever.
1:35:42
Speaker 2: You have an ear flung just I'm like, wait what?
1:35:46
Speaker 2: So I got the queue tip, but apparently you're not
1:35:48
Speaker 2: supposed to que tips in your ear.
1:35:50
Speaker 3: Which I violently disagree with.
1:35:52
Speaker 4: I do too.
1:35:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, some ear experts going to call in.
1:35:58
Speaker 2: But anyway, I noticed because it's weird. You know, I
1:36:00
Speaker 2: had this retina surgery. Oh what I was? I think
1:36:03
Speaker 2: I'm falling apart here, but I'm really not. I feel good.
1:36:06
Speaker 2: But you know, a couple of years ago, I sneezed
1:36:09
Speaker 2: and I guess I blew out my retina or something,
1:36:11
Speaker 2: so I had to have I tore my retina, so
1:36:13
Speaker 2: I had to have that surgically repaired. And then after
1:36:17
Speaker 2: that you have to get cataract surgery. So I have
1:36:19
Speaker 2: twenty twenty vision of one eye and I'm legally blind
1:36:21
Speaker 2: in the other eye, and I can't have cataract surgery
1:36:24
Speaker 2: there for another ten years.
1:36:26
Speaker 3: I remember that I was your uber.
1:36:28
Speaker 2: Oh that's right, I forgot about that.
1:36:30
Speaker 3: You may not have remembered me doing that at all.
1:36:33
Speaker 2: I don't remember anything. All I remember is going into
1:36:36
Speaker 2: that the eye hospital. I was terrified. Oh yeah, terrified.
1:36:41
Speaker 2: I mean it's your eye, like, you know what, people
1:36:44
Speaker 2: messing in with your eyeball.
1:36:45
Speaker 3: No, you can't see if they mess up.
1:36:47
Speaker 2: And I was afraid to sneeze. It was during the spring,
1:36:50
Speaker 2: the allergies. I didn't want to blow out the other eye,
1:36:53
Speaker 2: plug your nose. So I never forget. I went in
1:36:56
Speaker 2: as the UTI center or whatever is, and they're all
1:37:00
Speaker 2: these children there, and I'm like, what's going I guess
1:37:03
Speaker 2: it was children's eye surgery day and they had to
1:37:05
Speaker 2: work me in and so I'm sitting there and then
1:37:07
Speaker 2: I was talking to the nurse, the lady checking me in.
1:37:10
Speaker 2: I'm like, my gosh, these kids are just they're just
1:37:14
Speaker 2: so relaxed. And I said, I am I said, between
1:37:17
Speaker 2: you and me, I am freaking out right now. And
1:37:20
Speaker 2: she said, oh, they're not relaxed. I said, what do
1:37:23
Speaker 2: you mean. She goes, well, when you know they put
1:37:25
Speaker 2: you under the medicine, like when the kids wake up,
1:37:28
Speaker 2: it makes them like raging monsters. And so they're like cute,
1:37:32
Speaker 2: little peaceful, you know, the little babies. And when they
1:37:35
Speaker 2: you know, they they finish with their surgery and they
1:37:37
Speaker 2: wake up and they're like, I don't know, trying to
1:37:38
Speaker 2: eat you. And so the nurse sayes, they give them
1:37:42
Speaker 2: another medicine as they're coming out. So they're coming out
1:37:44
Speaker 2: of one medicine and they're coming on to another medicine
1:37:47
Speaker 2: that just completely chills them out. And I said, I
1:37:50
Speaker 2: went three times. Whatever those kids are getting, that's what
1:37:55
Speaker 2: I want.
1:37:55
Speaker 3: You got it. I can attest to that.
1:37:58
Speaker 2: I don't remember a thing about it except complaining because
1:38:01
Speaker 2: you have to be awake for all of this. Yeah,
1:38:03
Speaker 2: and I remember I'm like, okay, I'm getting thirsty. I
1:38:05
Speaker 2: remember telling you I'm getting thirsty. When's the ice surgery
1:38:07
Speaker 2: going to be? Everything goes, dude, we've been working here
1:38:09
Speaker 2: for three hours. We're about wrapped up here.
1:38:13
Speaker 3: That's too funny.
1:38:15
Speaker 2: So anyway, that's it. What was the whole point of this. Oh,
1:38:19
Speaker 2: I was going to read something to you and I
1:38:21
Speaker 2: couldn't see it. Thank you. I knew there was a
1:38:24
Speaker 2: there was a reason I was getting to this. This
1:38:26
Speaker 2: is what happens when I go out on tangent. So anyway,
1:38:28
Speaker 2: I was trying to read this, and normally I cannot
1:38:32
Speaker 2: read it with the glasses, but now I can. So anyway,
1:38:34
Speaker 2: President Trump was at the White House and he actually,
1:38:38
Speaker 2: this is the kindness of our president here, ladies and gentlemen.
1:38:41
Speaker 2: The President asked the White House chef to make breakfast
1:38:44
Speaker 2: sandwiches for the reporters taking a tour of the new
1:38:47
Speaker 2: White House ballroom. This is really nice, and the president
1:38:53
Speaker 2: it's quite the spread. And I have to describe this.
1:38:55
Speaker 2: These are like, I mean, they're not biscuits, all right,
1:38:59
Speaker 2: I'm you know, so I get that, but they're they're sandwiches.
1:39:04
Speaker 2: And there's also and I'm so impressed with this. It
1:39:08
Speaker 2: turns out that they were serving Coca Cola products, sadly
1:39:13
Speaker 2: no doctor pepper. But that's okay, I get, you know,
1:39:16
Speaker 2: beggar scampy choosers. But the President served Coca Cola's in
1:39:23
Speaker 2: the bottle and they had like a presidential bottle opener.
1:39:28
Speaker 2: I'm impressed with that.
1:39:30
Speaker 3: That's got to be the coolest thing.
1:39:31
Speaker 4: Ever.
1:39:31
Speaker 2: Where do you again? And I'm just curious, where do
1:39:34
Speaker 2: you get? Can you even buy the bottle of coke anymore?
1:39:38
Speaker 3: I think it selects gas stations.
1:39:40
Speaker 2: I love those things. I mean, there's I'm telling you
1:39:43
Speaker 2: right now, the if you drink a coke out of
1:39:46
Speaker 2: a bottle, and then you drink one out of that
1:39:49
Speaker 2: plastic crap, I'm telling you the bottle, it just tastes better.
1:39:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, can you tell with rut Beer. Rutbier
1:39:54
Speaker 3: is like the only company that still does the bottle totally. Yeah, totally,
1:39:59
Speaker 3: It's just better.
1:40:00
Speaker 2: And I'm just going to tell you this, just write
1:40:02
Speaker 2: this down. A Beta springs root beer out of Louisiana,
1:40:06
Speaker 2: best root beer in America.
1:40:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up because it's such
1:40:12
Speaker 3: a good debate out there. There's so many different root
1:40:14
Speaker 3: beer brands. A Beta is the best.
1:40:16
Speaker 2: I will find you. I will find people over that.

1:40:21

1:40:42
Speaker 2: peer that often. I've got to be in a certain mood.
1:40:44
Speaker 2: But i will tell you that that's the only kind
1:40:47
Speaker 2: of root per I drink a Beta Springs root beer.
1:40:49
Speaker 3: In a chilled bottle, toot or chilled mug.
1:40:52
Speaker 2: Or or a mug. A mug will do, A mug
1:40:54
Speaker 2: will do. So all right, nine oh one two six
1:40:58
Speaker 2: zero five two six the crazy conversations we have on
1:41:01
Speaker 2: this program. Let's go to Mark in the village is
1:41:04
Speaker 2: America's friendliest hometown. I'm Mark, what's on your mind today?
1:41:08
Speaker 16: And I keep saying, Todd, it's not the Golden Age,
1:41:11
Speaker 16: it's old age.
1:41:14
Speaker 2: Margaret, I'm about to ban you from this radio program.
1:41:20
Speaker 16: So very truth to this. California doesn't have voter id loss.
1:41:25
Speaker 16: So does that mean that people from all over the
1:41:27
Speaker 16: US can go to California. It's the vote for Spenser
1:41:29
Speaker 16: Press and California can't defend against this, seeing they don't
1:41:33
Speaker 16: support to say that Tod did they just put their
1:41:36
Speaker 16: foot in their mouth and if they ask for voter ID,
1:41:40
Speaker 16: how dared you?
1:41:41
Speaker 7: That's race?
1:41:43
Speaker 16: You know if Spencer practice did you asked the rs
1:41:47
Speaker 16: to review the books to see how fineball flickhead Newsom
1:41:50
Speaker 16: was managing the fund or should I say cooking the book?
1:41:55
Speaker 2: You know this is interesting now, So you're suggesting, since
1:41:58
Speaker 2: they do not have a voter ID law, that just
1:42:02
Speaker 2: that you could say, for example, the entire state of
1:42:05
Speaker 2: Tennessee could just fly over and vote and then go
1:42:09
Speaker 2: back home.
1:42:10
Speaker 4: Why not?
1:42:13
Speaker 16: I like this, they asked, Yeah, if they asked for ID, Yeah,
1:42:18
Speaker 16: that's racist, right, Yeah.
1:42:21
Speaker 2: No, Look, I think I think this is right. I
1:42:23
Speaker 2: think you're right here. The challenges that you've got to
1:42:26
Speaker 2: make sure you if you're from Tennessee, it probably won't
1:42:29
Speaker 2: work for Tennessee because if they could catch your accent
1:42:32
Speaker 2: and that would give it away.
1:42:37
Speaker 16: All right, well I don't know about that, but I'm
1:42:39

1:46:02
Speaker 2: and it's called Bain's Barbecue, and they are located in
1:46:06
Speaker 2: midtown Memphis, which is quite a ways. You know, Memphis
1:46:09
Speaker 2: is really spread out. We're like thirteen miles from downtown
1:46:11
Speaker 2: and we're just it's Memphis is just really spread out
1:46:14
Speaker 2: and it's really hard to get from point A to
1:46:16
Speaker 2: point B. So anyway, I try to go over there.
1:46:19
Speaker 2: I have every couple of months or so. But they
1:46:22
Speaker 2: just have the the best brisket and the they do.
1:46:26
Speaker 2: The folks in Texas know the sausage that you make,
1:46:29
Speaker 2: you know, with the jalapeno cheese and all that kind
1:46:31
Speaker 2: of stuff. So anyway, and these guys are from Texas
1:46:34
Speaker 2: and the Hill Country, so they know what they're doing.
1:46:36
Speaker 2: And in Memphis, barbecue for us is pig. This is brisket.
1:46:40
Speaker 2: So and they also do these like checklist Slovakian things,
1:46:44
Speaker 2: and somebody's gonna call in and tell us what those
1:46:46
Speaker 2: things are. But they're an unbelievably good So anyway, they
1:46:49
Speaker 2: announce they're opening up a new location in Dylan. It
1:46:53
Speaker 2: is exactly a quarter mile from my home. And so
1:46:58

1:47:25
Speaker 2: to eat green, you know, salad and everything. But I
1:47:28
Speaker 2: was prepared to go in, and so I pull in
1:47:30
Speaker 2: and I was like surprised. There were a few cars there,
1:47:32
Speaker 2: and I thought, man, I thought they would be packed.
1:47:35
Speaker 2: Rush in the front door, and the lady recognized me
1:47:40
Speaker 2: right out of the gate. It's the radio guy because
1:47:43
Speaker 2: I used to eat there a lot, which is you

Speaker 3: They thought you were one of those people that was
1:48:16
Speaker 3: gonna stay overnight in a tent or something.
1:48:18
Speaker 2: Well, then the guy asked me, He says, you want

1:51:59
Speaker 3: They would yeah, no, So I wasn't there for all
1:52:02

1:52:05
Speaker 3: And what did they do. They come up to the
1:52:07
Speaker 3: table and they start screaming at him. He did the

1:52:13
Speaker 2: He's a skinny little fellow, yes, right, he drinks like
1:52:16
