  Speaker 2: friend Conress been Jim Jordan catching some heat yesterday over
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: an interview he did, and Republicans are now basically telling
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: voters they're just going to have to deal with these
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: high gas prices. Well to help us figure out how
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: this is going to impact her, if it will even
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: impact the midterm elections. Is a good friend on my
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Newsmax program. She's one of the smartest people I know.
• 1:57

  Speaker 2: credits in Loophole's Tracy, good to have you on the
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: show today.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: That's the best intro ever. You should have been my
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: agent back in the day. That was terrific.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Thank you, and I do that pro bodo on the radio. Tracy.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Of course, you and I are alums at the old
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Fox News corner of the world, and it's always fun
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: to uh to catch up with alumni, and you're one
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: of the You're one of the good guys in the business. Tracy.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Really appreciate the great work that you do.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Toad. I appreciate you having me.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: So let's talk about this. You know, Jim Jordan is saying, well,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: you know, folks are just going to have to deal
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: with these high gas prices. But you and I both
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: know that's not exactly how that works in reality.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Not at all.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: And you know everyone's been hearing more and more about
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: this K shaped economy, right. It means one part keeps
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: going higher and one part keeps going lower. And it's
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: those people that are truly starting to feel it. I mean,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: my college kid the other day said, oh my god,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: gas is six dollars out here in Delaware.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Like people are noticing.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: The wealthy or the people that are doing well I
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: should say, can afford the extra twenty dollars at the pump,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: and they'll complain about it, but they'll pay for it.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: It's the lower income people that don't have that.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Disposable income Todd, don't have an extra twenty dollars a
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: week to fill the tank so that they can get
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: to their job.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Those are the people that are going to feel it.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Those are the people that are going to show up
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: at the polls in November.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Now, one of the things that we do on this
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: radio program. We don't work off talking points from any party.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I'm an America first conservative. I think we ought to
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: put our country first and the well being of American citizens.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: But I've got I have a big problem when lawmakers,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: for example, Republicans now, back in twenty twenty two, they
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: were saying that five dollars a gallon gas kills the economy,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: and now those same folks are telling us that five
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: dollars a gallon gas is just something we should suck
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: up and deal with and we should be patriotic about it.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not buying that, Tracy now, and.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Nor are the American people.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Todd and I think, look, I think the war will
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: come to an end, So I think that's what they're
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: banking on, that this is short term pain. But you
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: do a lot of damage in the short term. And
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: you and I both know when it comes to corporations
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: and pricing, if they start to increase prices, they are
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: certainly not going to discount us when the gas prices
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: go back down.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Treesy, how I know you cover this every day. How
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: concerned should we be? There has been a slight tick
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: up in inflation. How concern should we be about those numbers.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Oh, look, we're seeing it in the market.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, the wants out there are noticing that the
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: thirty year treasury is at five percent right now?
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: What does that mean? That means people are asking for.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Five percent return to invest money with the government thirty
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: years out because they're saying, we're not feeling like this
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: inflation stuff is going in a way. So it is
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: feeling stickier and stickier. It feels like it's sticking around
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: for a longer time. This affects the Fed. Then that
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: means there's no there's no way they could lower interest
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: rates right now.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: So who does that hurt?
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Again, you're lower middle class families that are trying to
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: get car loans and all those things.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: And so this is here to stay, I think, Todd.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: And again, I think you know, for a lot of people,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: they get confused. You know, they they hear what the
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: White House is telling us. You know that we are
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: now energy energy, we have our own energy independence, thank you,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: And yet they see those prices going up and a
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: lot of folks that you know at home are just
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: scratching their heads saying, what the heck is happening here?
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: And every now and then I do hear someone say,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: imagine what it would be like if we weren't energy independent.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Okay, I get that, Yeah, But I.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Think at the end of the day, this is the
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: consumer confidence thing. What you pay at the pump is
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: the first thing you see, the first thing you think
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: about when you are tallying your weekly expenses. It is
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: a gauge of inflation for the American people, and right
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: now it's high.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Tracy. We love talking about technology, and I'm all, I
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: love technology. I'm not very good at it, but you know.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: These the self driving cars, though, I just I still
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: can't get my head wrapped around this. There's there was
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: a crazy story coming out of Atlanta just yesterday where
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: these cars the way mos those are these self driving cars.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: They literally invaded an Atlanta neighborhood. And this is a
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: high end neighborhood in Atlanta, where apparently the cars were
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: just circling, going around and around and around this cul
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: de sact. The neighbors are out there videoing and it's
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: super creepy because there's literally nobody in the car. Tracy Burns, I.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Think preevy is an understatement that would have freaked me
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: out right, But I think so while technology is great toime,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: you and I both have to figure out how to
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: use it and implement it and all that stuff, it
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: brings us back to some big I think big concerns,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: trust regularly and liability, and that I don't feel like
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: as a citizen has been worked out yet. If they
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: showed up in my pul de Sac, I think I'd
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: be really concerned.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I'd get in one.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Quite frankly, absolutely, there's there's no way. There was like
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: a what is it? The Obamas did a movie. It
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: was like this weird sort of like dystopian, you know,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: into the World movie, and one of the creepiest scenes
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: where all the self powered I think Tesla's self driving
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: cars were crashing into each other and I'm like, okay,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: that's it. I've seen Terminator. I know how this ends.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: It's not good.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: I'm with you.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: I am a big fan of two hands on the wheel,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: and I hope always there's somebody in the front seat driving.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Could you imagine it? I just can't even It's bad
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: enough when you're in New York City and you actually
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: have a human taxi cab driver. Could you imagine not
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: having any taxi cab driver, and I can't even go.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: There right right, God bless. I don't know, and I'm
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: sure we will get there.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: And I was the girl that watched George Jetson and
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: really wanted Rosie in my kitchen someday.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: But I don't think we're there yet.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: By the way, speaking of that, Tracy Burns, you know
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: they're doing a live action I just saw the pictures
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: of the cast yesterday. They're doing a live action version
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: of the Jetsons movie and Jim Carrey is starring as
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: George Jetson.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: We've officially come full circle. Todd.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, well, you know, I think we jumped the shark
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: when we had the Flintstones live action movie. But you
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: know what, I'm willing to give it a shot. We'll
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: see what happens. Tracy Burns, where can people go? Where
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: do you want to go with? They want to get
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: more information about all the great work you're doing.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: You're the best, Tracy Burns Wealth. It's t A C
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Y D Y R N E Swealth dot Com.

• 8:53
  Speaker 2: All right, the great Tracy Burns everybody kicking off our Friday.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: And she was a she was one of the good
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: people over at Fox, Fox News and Fox Business and
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: we really appreciate the great work she does. If you

• 9:06
  Speaker 2: get that because that's going to save you a lot
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: of money come income tax time. All right, here's the deal.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: We're going to take a break. We're going right to
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: the phones when we come back. Nine oh one two
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. Again that number, nine
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. This
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: is the Todd Starring Show. All right, Welcome back everybody.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. It is open
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: line Friday. And just a bit of news. This is
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: coming from Tennessee. We've been following that ninth Congressional District race,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: and just moments ago, Congressman Steve Cohen, who has served
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: in the ninth Congressional district for twenty years, one of
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: the most radical Democrats in the in the Congress, announced
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: that he is calling off his congressional reelection can pain
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: he is exiting the race. So again, the way the
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: districts have been redistricted and redrawn, it certainly gives Republicans
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: the edge. As a matter of fact, State Senator Brent Taylor,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: who's been a regular on this program, is believed to
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: be the front runner in this race, and it looks
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: as though this will again be an easy path forward. Now,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: the interesting thing on the Democrat side that pretty much
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: all but guarantees that Justin Pearson, that radical guy we
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: call him Jivan Justin with the Powerfrow, that Jivan Justin
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: will in fact be the Democrat nominee. So it could
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: be a Senator Brent Taylor, who is an America First
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: candidate going up against Jivan Justin with the Powerfrow. We'll
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: keep you updated on that story. So that's an interesting
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: twist of events. Let's go to the phones. By the way,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: we'll start our day in La j Georgia. Our good
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: buddy Joe from LJ and Joe, I have to tell
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: you your governor, I think surprised a lot of folks by
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: announcing that they're going to try to redistrict in Georgia.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: How do you think that's going to play out.
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: I think that's a good, good idea that Todd. I'm
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: we're all for it. And I think Bryan Bryan Kim's
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: been a good governor. What we're really excited down here
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: in Georgia. We got to groove in the toy election
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: Tuesday in and and and I'm supporting and a lot
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: of most of us are supporting a Trump endorsed candidate
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: named Bert Jones. He's a solid Trump Republican.
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: I think.
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: In fact, I told him yesterday we had a rally
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: for him. I said, Bert, I think you will someday
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: be president of the United States. This guy Todd is
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: a great Trump's Trump supporter, a great conservative, and I
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: think he'll be a laking governor and then someday be
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: alaked president of the United States. So keep keep you
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: out on Burt Jones, because he's a real thing. And
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: by the way, uh, I'm so glad you're doing well.
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: And I appreciate all you've done for Trump and and
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: your great addition to the newsmanks and I'm watching more
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: and more people. I just got back from Sea Isle,
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: and a lot of people can't came up to me
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: down there and said Joe, we're we're watching a lot
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: more Newsmaks and they mentioned you Tom.
• 12:10
  Speaker 9: So I'm just so.
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: Glad you're doing well and just keep up the great
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: work because you're a conservative champion.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Well you're kind to say that, Joe, And let me
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: ask you a question about the about that gubernatorial race,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: and we're going to try to get Burt on the
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: show Monday ahead of the election. That has really been
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: a contentious race. And I know there's there's a businessman
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: that's seeming to get a lot of attention, but the
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: reality is, to your point, your guys got the Trump endorsement.
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and he and he's I mean I went to
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: we had a rally for n yesterday and I told him,
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: I said, Burt, not only am I supporting you for governor,
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: I think someday you will be elected president. He's a
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: combination of Trump, Thatcher and Churchill, and that's a pretty
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: good combination. But anyway, I just want to say how
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: happy we are that you're well and well, thank you
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: you're a conservative chance, and thank God for you. Keep
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: up the great work.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Dodge starts all right, Well, Joe, thank you, And I
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: do have to tell you they're going to have to
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: put something healthy on that menu. It pulls barbecue, my friend.
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: We want you to come someday, I'll do it.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I may have to have a salad. I know that's heresy,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: but you know, we gotta do what we gotta do.
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: Thank you, You're great.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: All right, Joe, take care of yourself now. All right,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: let's go to Anthons, Georgia. Scott listening to us on
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: w dun Hi Scott, what's going on?
• 13:34
  Speaker 9: Hey?
• 13:35
  Speaker 10: God, hey, I was upsetble what President Trump said yesterday
• 13:40
  Speaker 10: that sand with President g I was thinking about all
• 13:44
  Speaker 10: them boys that died in the Korean War and all
• 13:47
  Speaker 10: the boys that died in the Vietnam War, that they
• 13:50
  Speaker 10: gave their lives to our country, and this man gets
• 13:53
  Speaker 10: up there. I mean, they fought the communist Chinese and
• 13:57
  Speaker 10: they all them boys that brought stay home and them
• 14:00
  Speaker 10: body bags. It just so obsensed me that he got
• 14:04
  Speaker 10: up there yesterday. It's just kissed that communist dictator's ass
• 14:09
  Speaker 10: and for the whole world. I just I'm telling you,
• 14:13
  Speaker 10: that was the most upsetting thing I have ever seen
• 14:16
  Speaker 10: in my life.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: I just why, why, why are you? Why are you
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: upset with with the president, Because again the president is
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: there to make to make deals with countries, and no
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: doubt about it. Uh we have. We've been at odds
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: with China and no doubt about that. But we've also
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: been at odds, for example, with Japan and Germany and
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: you know, Russia. We've seemed to repair those, you know,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: those different differences.
• 14:45
  Speaker 10: But God, did you grow up in the Vietnam era?
• 14:48
  Speaker 11: Uh?
• 14:48
  Speaker 10: No, Well I did, and I remember all them boys
• 14:52
  Speaker 10: that fought in that war. They came out, all the
• 14:55
  Speaker 10: families that lost their sons, and and even the Korean
• 14:59
  Speaker 10: War fighting these communist Chinese. And this man gets up there.
• 15:03
  Speaker 10: There's more things important in life than making the deal.
• 15:07
  Speaker 10: There's such thing as his honor and people's lives, the
• 15:10
  Speaker 10: faces of people that died in that bloody horble.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Well, what do you think Trump should have done? I'm
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: just curious here, what do you think you should have done?
• 15:18
  Speaker 10: I think you should have told that common dest dictator
• 15:20
  Speaker 10: to shut it and walked out of that meeting. That's
• 15:24
  Speaker 10: what he should have done. I guarantee you what if
• 15:26
  Speaker 10: a president back in the city, if he had done
• 15:28
  Speaker 10: this in the nineteen sixties, they would have locked him
• 15:30
  Speaker 10: up for doing that.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But We're not in the nineteen sixties, and we're,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: as far as I know, we're not at war with China.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: And again, I mean, if he's gonna fall, I would
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: rather if he was going to do what you said,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I would have just suggested he'd do it over a
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: text message or maybe a TikTok video that could have
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: saved a few dollars on gas rere force one.
• 15:50
  Speaker 10: Yeah, but God, don't you care about people?
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Well, of course I care, Scott. Let me ask you
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: a question. Don't you have a problem with the Japanese?
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: What's your problem?
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: There's?
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: God? Do you do you have a problem with the Japanese?
• 16:04
  Speaker 10: Japanese?
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they bobbed something called Pearl Harbor. Do you remember that?
• 16:09
  Speaker 10: Remember I don't remember what them?
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: What about Germany? What about Germany? So we've got relations.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: So are you saying that anybody that we've had a
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: conflict with, and you know, throughout world history, or at
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: least American history, we should absolutely have no opportunities to
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: find common ground with those.
• 16:28
  Speaker 10: Folks, not with the communist all right, with communists?
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Okay? Well, no, I hear you. And again I think
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: the President would certainly disagree with you and the President
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: is out there trying to make deals that ultimately will
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: make America stronger. You know the president that's not over there,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: he's not You said he was kissing ass. I don't
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: believe that to be true at all. I believe the
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: President is a master negotiator, and he does and says
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: what needs to be done and said to get the
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: best deal for the American people.
• 17:00
  Speaker 10: No, but I don't believe in selling your soul to
• 17:02
  Speaker 10: the devil to make it.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: How did he sell how?
• 17:05
  Speaker 12: Wait?
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: Wait? Wait?
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: How did he sell our soul to the devil?
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: Here?
• 17:08
  Speaker 10: Because President g is a mass murder He has got
• 17:12
  Speaker 10: that whole country. It's just enslaved in. They watch everything
• 17:17
  Speaker 10: they do over there. Everything.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: It's just I'm not disagreeing with you. Would you just
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: be satisfied if he just dropped the bomb and annihilated them,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: all of them?
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: Is that?
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Is that what you would like?
• 17:30
  Speaker 13: Well?
• 17:31
  Speaker 10: What was Japan?
• 17:32
  Speaker 13: Oh?
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: God?
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: All right, yeah, I don't think we're going to do that. Look,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: I gotta run, Scott, and I hear. Look, I hear
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: what you're saying. But at the end of the day,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: we're not at war with China, and President Trump's going
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: to make a deal with him. He's gonna but that
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: deal is always going to benefit the United States of America.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: I understand why you're upset, but at the end of
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: the day, this is about America and not China when
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: it comes to Donald Trump. All right, we got to

• 19:09
  Speaker 2: in Marietta, Georgia, and was in midtown for a baby
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: shower two weeks ago. They're everywhere talking about those way mos,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: those self driving cars. Dylan, There's no way, no way,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: I would ever do something like that.
• 19:24
  Speaker 14: No, not with all this stuff coming out of them malfunctioning.
• 19:27
  Speaker 14: I can't trust it just yet.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Could you imagine that you're in this nice, quiet subdivision
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: and the next thing you know, all of these cars
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: just one after the other.
• 19:36
  Speaker 14: No, that's that's very creepy.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: I tell you, it's it's not a good situation. All right.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: This weekend a huge, major event, probably one of I
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: think one of the most important events when it comes
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: to the America two fifty celebration. It's taking place on
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: the Washington Mall and it all starts Sunday. It's uh,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: probably I would say the most important event. It's called
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Rededicate two fifty, a national jubilee of prayer, praise, and thanksgiving.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: And many of the people that you hear and see
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: on this program are going to be a part of that,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: including Franklin Graham. Tonight, by the way, Jack Graham, the
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: pastor at Preston Wood Baptist, will join me on Newsmax TV.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: But right now we're honored to have our good friend,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: the official chaplain of the Todd Starns radio Show, doctor
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Robert Jeffers, pastor of the first Baptist Church in Dallas.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: By the way, his latest book, Jesus Revealed in the
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: End Times Hope for Today from the One who holds
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: our future. It is a great read. Doctor Jeffers, thank
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: you so much for joining us today.
• 20:40
  Speaker 15: Thanks for hat.
• 20:41
  Speaker 16: Glad to see that you're looking well. To God, Glad
• 20:44
  Speaker 16: you're doing well well.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Thank you. You know, doctor Jeffers. We have a great Memphis.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: We're home to some great hospitals, but we have the
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Baptist hospital system and they do a great job when
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: it comes to cardiac here and I figure, if I'm
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: going to go, I'm going to go around my people,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: and they did a good job of getting patched up.
• 21:03
  Speaker 15: Well, hopefully you're not going anytime soon.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: No, I'm going to stick around a little bit longer.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: I am going to have I'm having to switch over
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: to doctor Jeffers. Let me tell you something. I've had
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: to visit parts of the supermarket. I did not know existed.
• 21:15
  Speaker 15: It's oh, well, that's that's the downside, isn't it.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, it is, doctor Jeffers, it is. Well, I
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: want to talk about this great event this week, and
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: I know the last time we had you on you
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: teased it, and this is this is really a special moment.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: And I'm wondering why this moment is important to the
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: health of the country.
• 21:36
  Speaker 16: Well, you know, we are calling it. It's called Rededicate
• 21:39
  Speaker 16: to fifty. And it's interesting that exactly two hundred and
• 21:43
  Speaker 16: fifty years ago, on this coming Sunday, it was May seventeenth,
• 21:49
  Speaker 16: seventeen seventy six, when the American colonies were on the
• 21:54
  Speaker 16: brink of war against the British Empire, that the Second
• 21:58
  Speaker 16: Continental Congress called America to a day of fasting, a
• 22:02
  Speaker 16: day of prayer, a time of repentance, and yes, a
• 22:06
  Speaker 16: time for boldly asking for God's help in defeating our enemies.
• 22:11
  Speaker 16: I mean the men who called for this, they were
• 22:13
  Speaker 16: men who loved their country and they loved Jesus Christ.
• 22:16
  Speaker 16: Today they would be called Christian nationalists, but they would
• 22:20
  Speaker 16: never have allowed that a label to deter them. They
• 22:22
  Speaker 16: were proud of their love for God. They were proud
• 22:25
  Speaker 16: of their love for their country, but they also believed
• 22:29
  Speaker 16: that their faith compelled them to admit that the strength
• 22:32
  Speaker 16: of our country did not rest on the numbers in
• 22:35
  Speaker 16: our armies, but on the strength of our God. And
• 22:38
  Speaker 16: so picking up on this thing, President Trump, in planning
• 22:42
  Speaker 16: a year of jubilee and celebration on our two hundred
• 22:45
  Speaker 16: and fiftieth anniversary, thought it was important to set aside
• 22:49
  Speaker 16: a day to rededicate ourselves to God. And that's what
• 22:52
  Speaker 16: this Sunday is about. It's about rededicating our lives individually
• 22:56
  Speaker 16: to God and together as a nation. You know, Benjamin
• 22:59
  Speaker 16: Franklyn said one time, the longer I live, the more
• 23:03
  Speaker 16: convincing proof I see that God governs the affairs of men.
• 23:07
  Speaker 16: If a sparrow can't fall to the ground without his notice,
• 23:11
  Speaker 16: how can an empire rise without his aid? Except the
• 23:14
  Speaker 16: Lord build the house. Those who labor labor in vain.
• 23:19
  Speaker 16: And that's the spirit of this Sunday. We are coming
• 23:21
  Speaker 16: together to individually and collectively as a nation, say we
• 23:26
  Speaker 16: need God.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I just I love this idea. And it goes back
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: and you harken back to the early days of the country,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: doctor Jeffers, where faith and really Christianity specifically was so
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: vitally integrated into literally everything we did, from elections, going
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: to church to hear a sermon before going to cast
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: a ballot, to those great watchmen on the wall, those
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: ministers who who were really speaking truth into the culture.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: And I wonder if we're ever going to get back
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: to that sort of time in America history.
• 24:01
  Speaker 16: I don't know if we will or not, but I
• 24:03
  Speaker 16: know efforts like this this Sunday will help push us
• 24:06
  Speaker 16: in that direction. And by the way, the history of
• 24:09
  Speaker 16: our country that you're talking about is exactly why the
• 24:13
  Speaker 16: left is losing their minds over this event, this coming Sunday.
• 24:17
  Speaker 16: The fact that leaders, not just religious leaders, but political
• 24:22
  Speaker 16: leaders would talk about America was founded as a Christian nation.
• 24:26
  Speaker 16: They're just going crazy at that. I was just with
• 24:28
  Speaker 16: our friend Harris Faulkner on Fox News and I said,
• 24:32
  Speaker 16: you know, when Christians get historical, the left gets hysterical
• 24:37
  Speaker 16: because they know the evidence is on our hands, on
• 24:41
  Speaker 16: our side that America was founded as a Christian nation.
• 24:44
  Speaker 16: We're not saying everybody in America is a Christian. We're
• 24:47
  Speaker 16: not saying other faiths aren't welcoming America. But you can't
• 24:51
  Speaker 16: dispute historically the fact that America was founded on the
• 24:55
  Speaker 16: Judeo Christian faith. And that's what we're talking about this Sunday.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: You know, doctor Jeffers. This week there was a young
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: man who testified before the House Judiciary Committee. This young
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: man sixteen years old, a student at Wiley High School
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: there in Texas, and it was he was talking about
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: the ideas that you and I are talking about right now.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: I was just so impressed with this young man, his demeanor,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: how poised he was. And then Congressman Jamie Raskin came
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: out and just really tried to bully this young man
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: for suggesting that, you know, we are in fact a
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Christian nation. I'm encouraged, and I'm wondering if you are
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: encouraged by the boldness that we are starting to see
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: from the younger Christians in this country, the gen zers.
• 25:42
  Speaker 16: I am, and I think that's a growing phenomenon that
• 25:45
  Speaker 16: we're witnessing. And you know, again, we're not talking about
• 25:51
  Speaker 16: disparaging people of other faiths or not saying that they're
• 25:54
  Speaker 16: not welcome here, but we need to realize the influence
• 25:57
  Speaker 16: that the Bible had on the founding of our country,
• 26:00
  Speaker 16: and we need to anchor ourselves to that Bible if
• 26:03
  Speaker 16: we're going to succeed as a country. You know, I
• 26:06
  Speaker 16: said this morning with Harris, I said, a number of
• 26:09
  Speaker 16: years ago to University of Houston, professors studied fifteen thousand
• 26:15
  Speaker 16: documents of our founding fathers to discover whom they quoted
• 26:19
  Speaker 16: the most, who was the greatest influence on them, And
• 26:22
  Speaker 16: after a ten year study, they came to the conclusion
• 26:25
  Speaker 16: that they quoted much more times from the Bible than
• 26:28
  Speaker 16: any other source. In fact, around that time, Newsweek magazine,
• 26:33
  Speaker 16: remember magazines. Newsweek magazine came out with an article titled
• 26:38
  Speaker 16: How the Bible Made America and Ken Woodward authored that
• 26:42
  Speaker 16: article and he said, historians are coming to the realization
• 26:47
  Speaker 16: that the Bible, perhaps even more than the Constitution, is
• 26:51
  Speaker 16: this nation's founding document. And Todd it's our adherence to
• 26:55
  Speaker 16: the Bible in the past that has caused God to
• 26:58
  Speaker 16: bless our nation. That's not a respector of nations. He
• 27:02
  Speaker 16: has the same rule for everybody. God's word says anybody,
• 27:07
  Speaker 16: any nation who reverences God will be blessed by God.
• 27:11
  Speaker 16: And any nation, including the United States, that rejects God,
• 27:16
  Speaker 16: will be rejected.
• 27:17
  Speaker 15: By the God.
• 27:18
  Speaker 16: Psalm thirty three, verse twelve says blessed is the nation
• 27:22
  Speaker 16: whose God is the Lord.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Well, what a great verse to end our conversation on,
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: doctor Jeffers. We always appreciate you coming on the show.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: By the way this all starts, I think the door
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: is opener. You'll be able to start getting onto the
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: ball about nine o'clock on Sunday. I'm going through the
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: line up here, doctor Jeffers, and I do see a
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: lot of Baptist ministers. Are you guys going to be
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: able to keep it within the timeframe? I know how
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: you preachers can get it.
• 27:47
  Speaker 16: There is a giant hook that comes out at the
• 27:50
  Speaker 16: end of five minutes to pull us off. So we've
• 27:55
  Speaker 16: got to leave time for the offering.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Of course, you always have to leave time for the offering.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Absolutely right, Well, doctor Jefferson, congratulations and thank you for
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: doing this. And I just think it's such a wonderful
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: thing for the country.
• 28:06
  Speaker 15: Well, thank you for helping us promote it.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Todd all right, doctor Robert Jeffers. Ladies and gentlemen, the
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: pastor at the First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas. If

• 29:40
  Speaker 2: one of the LAPD choppers circling overhead as they were
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: watching the waybo driving right into the police standoff there.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know about this. I do not know about this,
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. But anyway, I'd love to hear from
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: any of you who've actually been in one of these
• 29:56

  Speaker 17: signed off. You waited for the car, you got in it.
• 30:34
  Speaker 17: It took me a couple of miles and I got out.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: It was fine.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Were you nervous? Well, yeah, I would meet were So
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: were you like in the front seat or the back seat?
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: How does that work?
• 30:44
  Speaker 17: The backseat?
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Does it talk to you? Like you don't remember A
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Night Writer with David Hasselhoff and.
• 30:50
  Speaker 17: Kit Yeah, yeah, no, it was fine. It didn't talk
• 30:53
  Speaker 17: to me, but it showed where the stuff would be
• 30:55
  Speaker 17: on the app.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: So'sn't that I don't know about this, Jerry. I don't
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: know you. You're a better man than I am, or
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: a bolder man. I can't do it. Okay, all right,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: I know that's why you're not calling. So but give us.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Give us. I knew that you were going to call
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: in on this topic.
• 31:12
  Speaker 17: Go ahead, Okay, He's like, I'm waiting for Jerry. Okay, Well,
• 31:17
  Speaker 17: this is my disagreement. Now, Christians have influenced our country,
• 31:20
  Speaker 17: and you know they've done some positive contributions. But this
• 31:23
  Speaker 17: idea that our government, especially our constitution, is not upon Christianity,
• 31:28
  Speaker 17: I have to beatenly disagree. Now, freedom of speech, freedom
• 31:32
  Speaker 17: of the press, freedom or religion are guaranteed in the Constitution.
• 31:36
  Speaker 17: These aren't rights found in the Bible and Christianity. In fact,
• 31:40
  Speaker 17: the Ten Commandments in the Bible. In general, fans worshiping
• 31:45
  Speaker 17: any other God than the God of the Bible. So
• 31:48
  Speaker 17: when we look at the freedoms in our constitution, they
• 31:51
  Speaker 17: aren't found in the Bible, they aren't found in Christianity.
• 31:55
  Speaker 17: They they basically from the Enlightenment. They're from the Lightening period,
• 31:59
  Speaker 17: which already did the sixteen hundreds, and you know from
• 32:03
  Speaker 17: people like Boucaire, David Hume and paying and these are
• 32:07
  Speaker 17: rights that are based on human reason, not based on religion.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Well, when you go back and look at the founding
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: documents and the letters in the writing, and you've also
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: got to understand the context of all of this, which
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: is why the pilgrims got on the boats in the
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: first place. And they were tired of being persecuted because
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: they did not support the state sponsored religion in the UK,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: which was the Church of England. So they were escaping
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: from that. But at the same time they wanted to
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: have a nation where you could have that religious freedom.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: And it was a bumpy ride. If you remember, in
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: the early days of the colonies, there were some colonies
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: where you almost had to profess your faith to a
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: certain religion or denomination, and of course that all got
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: worked out through the concept of freedom of religion. Now there,
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's any disputing the fact that Christianity was,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: in fact the dominant cultural force when it came to
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: influencing pretty much everything that led to the founding of
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: the country, from morality to you know, the social framework
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: of the day, to the legal system. And you've got
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: the Ten Commandments here at the Supreme Court building. So again,
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: for people to say, Jerry, that you know, Christianity had
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: no bearing in the country, I just think is not
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: true based on the historical fact and documents.
• 33:29
  Speaker 17: I'm not going to say it zero bearing.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Again.
• 33:31
  Speaker 17: You you mentioned the Pierdans, Puritans believe the religious freedom
• 33:34
  Speaker 17: for themselves. You mentioned that people were like like often
• 33:37
  Speaker 17: had the religious rights violence. Yeah, that's right, because it
• 33:39
  Speaker 17: wasn't really until the seventeen hundreds to the modern founders,
• 33:43
  Speaker 17: the founders of the late stemteen hundreds, where religious freedom
• 33:46
  Speaker 17: became something. I don't again, I don't think it's from
• 33:48
  Speaker 17: the Bible. The Bible is not poor religious freedom. It's
• 33:52
  Speaker 17: not poor really democracy.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: I no, no, no, I would contend it is, Jarry. It
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: really is. When you look at when you look at
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: the gods, answer that question, when you look at the
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: New Testament teachings. It is a choice. It's a decision.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: No one is forcing you to become a Christian. That
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: is your decision, your choice to make. And when you
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: look at for example, and how does that play out.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: For example, I'll take freedom of religion, it plays out
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: in this in this context. If you want to be
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: a Baptist, you can be a Baptist here, or you
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: can be a Methodist, or you can be a you could,
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: for example, you could be an atheist or an agnostic.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: That's your choice to make. You're not going to be
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: punished because of that. And again the Puritans, they were
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: punishing people. So again we got all that worked out
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: in the Founding documents. But Christianity, it is a choice.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: You're not being forced to you're not being forced to
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: do something.
• 34:49
  Speaker 17: Okay, So when the tenth Commandment says have no other
• 34:52
  Speaker 17: guys before me, the ten Commandment is wrong for prohibiting.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: The worship of other guys, Well, I don't want to
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: get into it. No, no, no, I don't want to get
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: into a theological disascussion about Old Testament and New Testament
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: and the New Covenant. And maybe we can do that
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: on a later show. But what I am telling you
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: is that our way of life was framed and was
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: established through the principles and the teachings and the precepts
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: of the Holy Bible. And there's just no way around there.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: And I know you just look. I know you disagree,
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: but again it's you're able to You're able to live
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: your life however you want to live your life as
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: a result of that.
• 35:30
  Speaker 17: Well, to me, it's because atheists like me and other
• 35:33
  Speaker 17: people had to fight for our religious rights, and not
• 35:36
  Speaker 17: necessarily from the Bible. I mean often atheists was still
• 35:40
  Speaker 17: jailed for our writings in the late eighteen hundreds, So
• 35:43
  Speaker 17: it took a long time. It took a lot of
• 35:45
  Speaker 17: fighting for us who have the liberty we have.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Now, well, no doubt about that. But I will say
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: that it came about as a result of the Christian
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: underpinnings of our founding documents. That I know you and
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: I are going to disagree on that, all right, Jerry,
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: I'm always good to have you call and be careful
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: with those weymos man near Milwaukee. Okay, good Jesus Loop,
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: all right, that's Jerry the Liberal.
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: It's interesting, Dylan, I can't even imagine those waymos operating
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: in Memphis.
• 36:19
  Speaker 14: No, can you, Like on the interstate they're just going
• 36:22
  Speaker 14: seventy miles an hour best.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: And the Dodge chargers are zooming by it one twenty.
• 36:29
  Speaker 14: Well, we'll drive bys could go down, you know, the statistics.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Fair enough, unless they're gonna try. They might try to shoot.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know, they would shoot the driver less cars. Yeah,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: So at that point what happens is the Waymo go
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: into a defensive mode where they try to run down
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: the drive by shooter trank. Wow, all right, we've got
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: to take a break here, ladies and jellmen. Nine oh
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six, Hey Congressman
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Congressman Cant Cammick joining us and our god buddy Joe Messina,
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: host of the Joe Messina Show. We're just getting started, folks.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Since open Line Friday on the Todd Starns Radio Show.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: America's Conservative Blowtorch's.
• 37:33
  Speaker 14: American Todd Start Moday.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, hello, everybody, Happy Friday to you America. This
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: is the Todd Starns Radio Show broadcasting Border to Border
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: coast to coast, across the fruited plane, Dylan, I can
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: smell the barbecue smoke from here. I don't know what's
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: going on, but we've got more than two hundred world
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: champion barbecuers. We've got pit masters from all over America
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: right here in Memphis, Tennessee, not too terribly far from
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: our palatial broadcast bunker and Dylan. Everywhere you go in
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Memphis right now, it smells like somebody is smoking a pork.
• 38:16
  Speaker 14: Put It is a bad time to be a pig
• 38:18
  Speaker 14: right now, Todd.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: It's a bad time to be a vegan. Yes, true,
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: I'm just telling you, well that is true. Maybe worse
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: for the pig a little bit. I just say it.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: But anyway, after the show, heading down to go and
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: visit and check out some of the great competitors. I said,
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: really across the country, but it's around the world. We
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: have people all the way here from the official Dylan,
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: the official Norwegian National barbecue team is here in Memphis,
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: and I have no idea what those guys are smoking.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: They may be in the other meat category.
• 38:51
  Speaker 14: Do they have one of those for this competition here?
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Do they do? You can It's like elk and rabbit,
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: and I don't know python or whatever it's in Norway. Well,
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: I say rabbit and python because of our next story,
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: which comes from Florida. And you know, I'm gonna have
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: to ask Kat Cammick about this. But apparently things are
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: so bad now with these pythons that are invading the
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: state that they have deployed furry robot rabbits to fight back. Now,
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: if you haven't seen the Boys on Amazon Prime, this
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: is all going to end very badly, I think for humanity.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Let's bring into the conversation Congresswoman Kat Kammick from Florida.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: What's going on here? You guys have rabbit robots.
• 39:35
  Speaker 11: Okay, in all fairness, this is the first I'm hearing
• 39:39
  Speaker 11: of robot rabbits.
• 39:41
  Speaker 18: But I agree with you, this can only end badly.
• 39:45
  Speaker 11: I am familiar with how some of my fellow Floridians
• 39:50
  Speaker 11: hunt the pythons, which is interesting enough. Now you tack
• 39:54
  Speaker 11: on robots that are somehow furry, this can only end poorly.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: And it looks just like according to the New York Post,
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: they have a photo. It looks just like a furry
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: little bunny rabbit. And I don't know if it like
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: has jaws of steel and just like starts eating the python.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know how this all plays out all that.
• 40:14
  Speaker 11: Well, I don't know what kind of damage it can
• 40:17
  Speaker 11: inflict because some of these pythons, and I've got friends
• 40:20
  Speaker 11: that go down and hump these things, they're eating deer,
• 40:24
  Speaker 11: full grown, full sized deer and alligators. So I'm not
• 40:28
  Speaker 11: quite sure what a small, tiny, little bunny rabbit robot
• 40:31
  Speaker 11: will do.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: But it's a killer.
• 40:34
  Speaker 18: That's the list of strange things in Florida.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's look, I hear you, and I mean, you
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: guys have a great state, and I love you know,
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: the government and the income tax situation of the tax REASA,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: I get that, but the pythons and the alligators, that's
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: a big note for me. I'm going to stay in Tennessee.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: We're good. We've got our own wildlife issues, but I
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: think I can outrun those cat Well. A lot happening
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: up in up on Capitol Hill, and I know that
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: there's been a lot of concern about things like the
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Save America Act, and I just still feel like this
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: is going to be a great, great midterm election for
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Republicans if we can just get some of those big
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: ticket Trump items across the finish line.
• 41:14
  Speaker 11: Absolutely, that's been the big frustration that so many people
• 41:18
  Speaker 11: around the country candidly have. They feel that we haven't
• 41:22
  Speaker 11: executed enough on the agenda that was put forth by
• 41:24
  Speaker 11: President Trump that everybody voted for.
• 41:26
  Speaker 18: And I couldn't agree more. I share that frustration.
• 41:30
  Speaker 11: I have been clamoring, and leadership would be the first
• 41:34
  Speaker 11: to tell you that I'm saying, listen, we've got a
• 41:36
  Speaker 11: job to do. We shouldn't be leaving until we get
• 41:38
  Speaker 11: it done, and the Save America Act is a huge
• 41:40
  Speaker 11: part of that, because we want to ensure that our
• 41:42
  Speaker 11: elections are safe, secure, and the integrity of our elections
• 41:47
  Speaker 11: is paramount, and so we're going to continue to push
• 41:49
  Speaker 11: for the Save America Act and any other election integrity
• 41:53
  Speaker 11: elements that we can include all the way through the midterms.
• 41:56
  Speaker 18: But it's more than just that.
• 41:58
  Speaker 11: It's addressing every day realities that people are facing, myself included.
• 42:02
  Speaker 11: It's the price of gas at the pump.
• 42:05
  Speaker 18: It needs to come down.
• 42:07
  Speaker 11: It's about the cost of everyday life in America that
• 42:10
  Speaker 11: we're combating historic inflation and really dismantling this over zealous
• 42:16
  Speaker 11: regulatory regime that has been put in place over the
• 42:18
  Speaker 11: course of decades that has really strangled industry to the
• 42:22
  Speaker 11: point where families across the country pay about fifteen thousand
• 42:26
  Speaker 11: dollars more a year for everyday goods and services just
• 42:30
  Speaker 11: so that people up in Washington, these unelected bureaucrats can
• 42:33
  Speaker 11: feel good about themselves.
• 42:34
  Speaker 18: That's really really tough to unwind. But that's what we're
• 42:37
  Speaker 18: working on.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: And you know, sometimes, and I'm not sure if there's
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: a way to figure this out, but I think a
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: lot of times when elected leaders get to Washington, they
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: sort of lose touch with, you know, the average joes.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: And some of them used to be average jos. And
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: you know, they're not out there having to fill up
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: their tank every Friday, they're not having to go to
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: the grocery store, and they're not seeing the high prices
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: that the rest of us. And I'll tell you, I'm
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty well versed, you know, in politics, but I
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: went to go pull up my car the other day.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: It was four sixty nine a gallon. Even I did
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: ada take. And you know that's here in Tennessee.
• 43:09
  Speaker 18: I tell you what I mean.
• 43:11
  Speaker 11: I am my husband and I are one of the
• 43:14
  Speaker 11: few up here on Capitol Hill that aren't independently wealthy.
• 43:17
  Speaker 18: Many people know.
• 43:18
  Speaker 11: I'm a commercial sand blaster by trade. My husband's a firefighter.
• 43:21
  Speaker 11: We're about as working class, blue collar as you can get.
• 43:25
  Speaker 11: And it pains us when we go to the gas
• 43:27
  Speaker 11: pump and have to fill up his truck. And so
• 43:30
  Speaker 11: we see it day in day out, the realities of
• 43:33
  Speaker 11: what so many people around the country are facing, and
• 43:36
  Speaker 11: it really is. It is something that is top of
• 43:39
  Speaker 11: mind for us here on Capitol Hill, something that I
• 43:42
  Speaker 11: have been pushing Speaker Johnson to focus on because people
• 43:45
  Speaker 11: do get frustrated. They say, hey, we understand there's some
• 43:47
  Speaker 11: really scary things happening around the world, but we got
• 43:50
  Speaker 11: to take care of America first. And that's what people
• 43:53
  Speaker 11: voted for at the end of the day, America first,
• 43:55
  Speaker 11: and that's what we're going to stay focused.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: On, no no doubt about that. By the way, maybe
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: Pelosi or ilhan Omar could give us some tax tips
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: or something, you know.
• 44:02
  Speaker 11: The trading, I am one of the few members of
• 44:06
  Speaker 11: Congress that doesn't have any corporate stocks.
• 44:10
  Speaker 18: I don't trade or buy stocks.
• 44:11
  Speaker 11: I never have, and it's really frustrated because I don't
• 44:14
  Speaker 11: think that members of Congress should be allowed to trade
• 44:17
  Speaker 11: individual corporate stocks. If you want to trade ETFs or
• 44:20
  Speaker 11: mutual funds, fine, and those are diversified enough. But there's
• 44:23
  Speaker 11: just too much insider information that we have for to
• 44:27
  Speaker 11: be a fair playing field. And listen, there's plenty of
• 44:30
  Speaker 11: stuff for us to do up here to clean up
• 44:31
  Speaker 11: this joint. I mean, we need to have background checks.
• 44:34
  Speaker 11: People don't realize the staff that works up here, they
• 44:37
  Speaker 11: don't undergo a background check. Members of Congress get security
• 44:41
  Speaker 11: clearances and they don't undergo a background check. This is
• 44:44
  Speaker 11: the craziest stuff that happens up here. It's like it's
• 44:47
  Speaker 11: like hurting cats and just a ridiculous time to try
• 44:51
  Speaker 11: to get anything done.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: You know, this week has been a focus on police
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: officers around the country National Police Week. We love law
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: enforcement on this radio, Graham, and we do whatever we
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: can to help them out. And it just seems to
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: me when we see the stories over and over and
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: over again about law enforcement coming under attack here. You know,
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: they they're always in many cases they're treated as the
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: as the bad guys. What do we need to do
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: to get back on the get back to the way
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: it used to be where police officers were widely respected
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: and were treated with respect.
• 45:24
  Speaker 11: I really do hate that this radical leftist movement has
• 45:29
  Speaker 11: hijacked so many communities around the country where they find
• 45:34
  Speaker 11: it to be the priority of defunding police and instituting
• 45:40
  Speaker 11: these ridiculous reforms that make communities less safe and villainize
• 45:43
  Speaker 11: law enforcement. I would echo and amplify what my colleague
• 45:49
  Speaker 11: in the Senate, Senator Kennedy has said, which if you
• 45:52
  Speaker 11: have a problem, call a crackhead. If your position is
• 45:55
  Speaker 11: to defund police, then that is your that then don't
• 46:00
  Speaker 11: back to someone to come running when you are in
• 46:03
  Speaker 11: one of the most trying times of your life. As
• 46:06
  Speaker 11: the wife of a first responder, I can speak to
• 46:09
  Speaker 11: the absolute incredible worry that is embedded in our bones
• 46:13
  Speaker 11: as we watch our loved ones go out the door
• 46:15
  Speaker 11: every day to hit their shift, and we need to
• 46:18
  Speaker 11: do everything we can to have the backs of our
• 46:20
  Speaker 11: law enforcement because they've had ours, and we think that
• 46:24
  Speaker 11: any effort to defund police is an effort to invite
• 46:28
  Speaker 11: chaos and anarchy into our communities and our neighborhoods. So
• 46:33
  Speaker 11: I've been blessed to have a great community that loves
• 46:37
  Speaker 11: law enforcement, supports law enforcement. It being a police week
• 46:40
  Speaker 11: here up in Washington, d C. We've had several of
• 46:42
  Speaker 11: our local law enforcement officers swing by and visit and
• 46:46
  Speaker 11: we've been able to catch up. But we've also introduced
• 46:48
  Speaker 11: two pieces of legislation that I want to quickly highlight,
• 46:51
  Speaker 11: one being Answering the Call of twenty twenty six. We
• 46:55
  Speaker 11: know that mental health is a real issue within the
• 46:58
  Speaker 11: first responder community because they see things that most people
• 47:03
  Speaker 11: would never be able to stomach, and it takes a
• 47:05
  Speaker 11: toll on you, and so we've seen a huge increase
• 47:08
  Speaker 11: of suicides amongst our first responders. Our bill would open
• 47:12
  Speaker 11: up additional resources for our first responders. And then the
• 47:15
  Speaker 11: cop Act of twenty twenty six Citizens only policing you
• 47:19
  Speaker 11: should be a citizen in order to wear a badge,
• 47:23
  Speaker 11: because if you can't even meet the basic requirement of
• 47:27
  Speaker 11: being lawfully here in this country, you should not be
• 47:30
  Speaker 11: charged with upholding the law.
• 47:32
  Speaker 18: So two pieces of legislation that we feel are critical.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: It's common sense stuff. And before we let you go,
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: I'm just so excited to see you addressing this. You
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: are leading an effort to really deal with and create
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: a biparisan initiative to address these sexual misconduct claims within
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: the House of Representatives. I just think it was appalling
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: and I'm glad they've done away with the whole slush fund,
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: you know, paying off you know, victims and keeping people.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: But we got to get to the bottom of that,
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: and we've got to make sure that folks are protected
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: up there on Capitol Hill.
• 48:06
  Speaker 11: Absolutely, we have seen too many situations where the power
• 48:10
  Speaker 11: dynamics up here on Capitol Hill have resulted in predominantly
• 48:15
  Speaker 11: women being abused, harassed, assaulted, and that cannot stand. And
• 48:21
  Speaker 11: so we know that this is a bipartisan problem. We've
• 48:24
  Speaker 11: got creeps on both sides of the aisle, and so
• 48:27
  Speaker 11: we're going to address this in a bipartisan fashion, and
• 48:30
  Speaker 11: we're going to go through every single reporting system, every
• 48:34
  Speaker 11: training model, every single element of this problem, and we're
• 48:39
  Speaker 11: going to instead of issuing a report, we're actually going
• 48:42
  Speaker 11: to take action. And I'm really glad that we have
• 48:44
  Speaker 11: the full faith and backing of Speaker Johnson. He has
• 48:47
  Speaker 11: offered up every resource, as well as Leader Hakeem Jeffries,
• 48:52
  Speaker 11: because they recognize that this is much bigger than politics.
• 48:56
  Speaker 11: This transcends partisanship. So we have to deal You've got
• 49:00
  Speaker 11: to deal with this because this is a moment where
• 49:02
  Speaker 11: we can no longer tolerate this type of behavior and abuse.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: Well said, all right, well, we're gonna please keep us
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: up to date on that and let us know what
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: we can do to help those efforts. We're gonna have
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: to leave it there. Cat, I wish, I wish you
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: could be a Memphis. You know a lot of people
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: like to do their national shows and high faluting places

• 53:54
  Speaker 2: some of these or what do they call them, the uh,
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: these are the folks that work with all the camp
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: pains and the candidates. They're influencers. That's not the word
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: I'm looking for. You guys know what I'm talking about.
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: Some of you people can just be downright mean. So
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: are you here in Tennessee. There's a guy running for
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: Governor's name is Monti Fritz. He's a great guy, but
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: some of the people that are backing this guy are
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: just they're mean, Dylan, They're just mean. So anyway, we've
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: had Monti Fritz on what three four times? I think
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: that's about right, three or four times. So I got
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: a message Bonnie Fritz needs to be on your show,
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: and I replied, I said, well, he's been on our
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: show four times so far. I mean, look, we got
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: fifty states, you know, we're trying to get everybody on,
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: but there's only so much airtime. I said, he's been
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: on our show four times so far, more than the
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: other two candidates running, which is true. And then the
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: person replies, back, my bad, you said Christian show. I
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: thought he might be a priority. What that escalated quickly
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: to goodness, I guess I'm not a Christian now.
• 55:07
  Speaker 14: I guess that's She's going to be fair out here.
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: Just trying to spread the love. I think some folks
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: are spreading something else, and I'm down win from it,
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: all right. Nine oh one two six zero five, nine
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: two six. Speaking of California, We're going to talk to

• 56:04
  Speaker 2: and wonderful messages welcoming me back on the show this
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: week after being in the hospital. And I love all
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: of it. I absolutely love all of it. By the way,

• 56:17
  Speaker 2: all this week it's like I've been cutting back and doing,
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: you know, trying to do all the healthy stuff, but
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: the medicines I've got to take it's a little confusing.
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: And I think I mentioned that on air or something.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: There's just a lot of it.
• 56:30
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I told you need to get one of those
• 56:31
  Speaker 14: containers that separates all your pills.

• 57:03
  Speaker 2: You've got concierge service, you've got your own maids. You know,
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: you don't have to do anything. The problem is, Dylan,
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm hoping to live to like be in my nineties,
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: and I'm not sure I'm ready for that to be
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: my forever home. You know what i mean.

  Speaker 14: Yeah, true, But you know what they say, you know,
• 57:19

  Speaker 14: We're gonna have to get you away mode to take
• 57:25
  Speaker 14: you over there?

• 57:31
  Speaker 2: it's like independent living, you can you know, she's basically
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: an apartment. It's really nice. But you're at breakfast and
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: you're like, hey, what happened to Harold? Well he didn't
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: make it through the night. It's like every week somebody's dropping.
• 57:47
  Speaker 14: Now, that would be tough. That would be tough to
• 57:49
  Speaker 14: Uh yeah, okay.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: Missus Shanklin is concerned about me, and she said that
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: she's she actually sent me a link to purchase my
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: own weekly pill organizer.
• 58:01
  Speaker 14: Yeah, this is what I now. Just get to an
• 58:06
  Speaker 14: Amazon Alexa and it'll just read you off your order
• 58:08
  Speaker 14: every every morning.
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah I don't Yeah, maybe that's what I mean. If I,
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: if I don't have a wife, maybe I could just
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: have Alexa fill in. Anyway, The Shanklins are driving up.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: Paul Paul Shanklin are a great parody guy. They're heading
• 58:22

• 58:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 58:42
  Speaker 14: Do you need validation from your listeners right now?
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: I think that's that's what silence. I was running validation
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: from the staff, but there was just silence. What's going
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: on there?
• 58:52
  Speaker 14: You look fine to me? You sound fine?
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: Oh lord, I'm not going to.

• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: think I beat him on cholesterol, so I think it
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: all worked out. At the end. I left the conversation
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: pretty feeling pretty good and healthy. So Joe, enough about
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: my ales? What ails me? Can we? I want to
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: play something for you. This is the latest I guess
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: commercial video from Spencer Pratt, who is running for mayor
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: of Los Angeles. Let's take a listen or do we
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: have it here?
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 4: Everything is hell and you're part of the soon.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 19: Karen Bess is off and burning down our streams, dirty needles,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 19: human waste.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: We just named you awful things.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 4: Stolen car, burned down house. You know what's awful?
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 12: Everything and shock, the locks and camp of the addicts
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 12: down the block, lots of tents of very big, awful
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 12: scenes are not the best chance. Traps and crap they're awful.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 12: Smack and shocks, they're awful.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 4: Bums and scum and bombs.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: That's awful.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 12: Everything you see, your smell attach is awful.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 4: And she's killing our dreams.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: So Joe Masina, I can just see you driving the
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: Jaguar through downtown La singing and playing that music at
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: the top of your at the top of your lungs.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 13: And ducking the dodge and those little piles of stuff
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 13: that would be good too. But those commercials that he
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 13: does are great, I mean, seriously great. I would move
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 13: to LA just to vote for him, you know, for
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 13: one day, and then leave again, because I don't know
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 13: if he has a chance, but I wish, because he would.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 13: He would go through there with like a bulldozer.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: Joe while and by the way he's it looks like
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: he could actually pull this thing off. I mean that's
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: how that's how you know, bad things are right now
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: in Los Angeles.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 13: Yeah, And then they're they're very nervous on the left.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 13: I mean, they're trying to cut him out of these
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 13: programs or cut him out of these debates and discussions.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 13: They're making up all kinds of stuff about him now,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 13: they're you know, putting ads up, putting ads online that
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 13: are making fun of him, you know. And and it's
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 13: obviously his history, his employment when he does a living
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 13: and he has no business, he doesn't know how to
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 13: run the government he has he's never been in a
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 13: position like this. Well you've been in the position and
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 13: look what you're doing. We can't get It's the famous
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 13: words of Donald Trump. You've been voting for them for
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 13: sixty years. What do you got to lose? Vote for me?
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: Last night the California gubernatorial debate, and it looks as
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: though Javier Massara seems to be surging in some of
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: the polling data we're looking at now, in one actually
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: leading Steve Hilton. Then I think you've got Bianco Snier.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: It's what Bessara Hilton, Stier and then the sheriff in
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: Riverside County. Oh yeah, yeah, so what's going on there?
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 13: We've got low IQ people. No, if you think about it,
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 13: we were all excited for the longest time, and I
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 13: think on this show even said you it'd be great
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 13: if we could do too. But I don't think we're
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 13: going to get two. So now now we may or
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 13: may not get it. The way things are going, and
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 13: and if Stier pulls it off, it's gonna be It'll
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 13: be Stier and Bessarah and Bissarah. We hoped he was
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 13: shot himself in the foot. I don't know if you
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 13: saw the interview that he did, and he told him
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 13: that he didn't want He basically said, look, no hard
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 13: hitting questions.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: Don't be mean to me. Don't be mean to me, all.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 13: Right, God bless, Yeah, don't ask me any questions I
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 13: have to answer.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: Well, this is uh, this is going to be fascinating
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: to watch. I am disappointed in Steve Hilton, and I'm
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: just gonna say it. Why can't he have a campaign
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: that is very similar to what Spencer Prant is doing.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: You know, it's just again, Steve Hilton. His job is
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: to be a communicator. That's what he did it on
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: Fox News, and I just don't he's not able to
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: convey the passion, the righteous indignation. It just for me,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: it just seems a bit forced.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 5: He's cut.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 13: Yeah, you're right, You're exactly right. The fire behind the
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 13: eyes is in there, do you know what I'm saying.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 13: It's a great gig, it's a great thing to do,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 13: and we need all this, but there's no fire behind you.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 13: He's no fire in the belly, if you would, I
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 13: don't get that from him. And now I've seen him
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 13: a dozen times up close to personal at one event,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 13: and I think I joked with you and I said,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 13: he sounded more like a cheerleader than somebody that was
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 13: running for office. And what's too bad about that is
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 13: he's put together the slate of people, good people, but
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 13: he's put together the slate of people. I hope he
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 13: doesn't drag them down with.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: Him, and that is a concern now. So again, I
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: think this was a great fear also that President Trump
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: coming in early and endorsing one of the Republicans. A
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: lot of folks felt like that was a that was
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: a mistake, especially seeing how this is an open primary.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 13: Oh, I agree, I agree. I wish Donald that Donald
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 13: would have stayed out of it and just let us
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 13: decide out here because he though he plays well in
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 13: California and not well enough to give that government the
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 13: bump he needs. Remember, Republicans in California, for the most part,
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 13: they're physcal Conservatives, but socially they're very liberal here. You know,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 13: they're they're coastal Republicans. So it doesn't play well. Let'll
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 13: just leave it at that.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: All right. Joe Messina joining us on our Patriot Mobile
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: newsmaker line, host of The Joe Messina Show Nationally. Joe,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: when you look at at what's happening in California, and again,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: it's it's going to be a long shot. You've got
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: pretty much the entire Republican congressional delegation decimated. What are
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: Republicans talking about there? What is the mood among Republicans
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: here in California.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 13: Well, I think to a big degree, they've brought up
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 13: their hands as far as the congressional races.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: And I've been one.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 13: That's always screamed about local, stay local, spend your money local.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 13: We have total control, or we can have total control
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 13: of school boards, waterboards, city councils, even the county seats.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 13: We do well in when it comes to it's like this,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 13: this barrier that's up force Field that keeps us from
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 13: making it to the state level and the federal level.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 13: For this matter, I think I think many, many, many
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 13: Republicans have somewhat given up on us of ever getting
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 13: power again here in this state.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 14: And it's too bad.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 13: We have a leadership problem as well as far as
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 13: Republicans call in California.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: All right, well, we're gonna let you get back at it,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: mister Messina. Always good here in front of my friend.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 13: God bless Todd. And stay away from the barbecue.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm doing that. I'm gonna stay away from it.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 13: Get good Italian food that won't hurt you. That's good.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: Oh oh, I forgot to tell you, Joe Messina, you
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: would be proud man round. We had the Memphis Italian
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: Festival coming up, and I have been invited to be
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: a judge in the gravy competition.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 13: Gravy you hit it, bingo. Okay, you're my man.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: See, I'm telling you what should so so, Messina? What
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: should I look for? Is there anything that you know?
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, these are your people here. Anything I need
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: to know? How do I know when the sauce is good?
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 13: Simple stuff?
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 13: You want to you want to try a marinara sauce
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 13: which doesn't have meat in it. It's good and thick,
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 13: but not too thick, you know, and very tasty. You
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 13: got have to marinarosauce. You should be able to taste
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 13: a tomato and basil. When you move over to the
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 13: meat sauce, meatballs or sausage, it has to be tender.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 13: They have to be cooked in the sauce. It has
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 13: to be tender, and there should be a little little
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 13: of the oil on the top of the gravy.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: So I'm in training right now for this, Mesina, And
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: so I went to the market. I got like and
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: I'm blindfold myself and I put so I've got in
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: one plate, I've got the prey Go and the other
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: the Ragou. And am I doing this wrong?
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 13: God, bless America. Yes, Chain, I just get Why don't
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 13: you just get some hunts ketchup and a little Italian seizing?
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: Its'm about the same. I think we just triggered Joe
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: Masina Delanoh my gosh, I'm gonna.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 13: Go cook now, just I can save myself.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: All right, Joe, I'll make you proud. So there you go,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: Joe Messina. Everybody, Wow, he really you know that? That's
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: like a thing with the Italians. Don't you be bringing
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: like Chef Boyard and you know, pray Go or rag
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: Goo talking to.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 14: This, I think I would be okay with hunts ketch
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 14: up in the season. It doesn't sound too bad, no doubt.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: Well, no doubt about that. All right, Let's go to
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: the phone lines here nine O one two six zero
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: five nine two six Sonny from Ocalla, Florida listening to
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: us on woc A, Hi, Sonny, what's going on?
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 5: Hi?
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 6: God? The more things happening here, more left there? You know,
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 6: one thing after another. I definitely think we are due
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 6: for a third party. I know they've all arguments against it,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 6: but when you have seventeen Republicans want a bill with
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 6: the Demorats and I say Demoats because when you spell Democrat,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 6: all you got to do is take the sea out.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 6: But anyway, it's just ridiculous what's going on. And you
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 6: can't get these people who it's their own private club,
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 6: Democrat club and the Republican club. And like I said,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 6: the one bill, you had seventeen rhinos run over there
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 6: and vote. Boy, I don't know. Maybe I should have
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 6: studied the bill a little harder, but it's very hard
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 6: to find out what they're doing until they do it.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 6: That's the other thing. That's why we need another third party.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 6: You don't know what none of the Republicans are doing
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 6: or the Demorats are doing until they vote on it.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 6: And then what happened? How did we get out of
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 6: the How are we pushed out of the picture.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: Look, it's a fair point point, Sonny, and I think
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: I know a lot of people are like, oh, we
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: need a third we need a third party. I just
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: don't know if that's even going to be doable. What
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: I like are the folks that are running these independent campaigns.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: They're not beholding to anybody. And you know, I would
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: like to see more people running for Congress as independents.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: And if we get enough, I mean really, all you
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: need is about I know, ten or fifteen and you
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: become major power players, you know in you know, in Congress.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: So I don't know, maybe maybe that's the answer. Sonny,
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: I've got to run, my friend. But it's good hearing
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: from you. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: two six. This is the Todd Stern Show. All right,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: let's go right back to the phones on this open
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: line Friday. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: nine two six. Charles in Gainesville, Georgia. Charles, what's on
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: your mind?
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 13: Hey?
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 7: I think people misunderstand the word diet.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because well most people when they think diet, you know,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: you're you're eating like a cellery stalk or something. Did
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: we lose, Charles? I think we lost Charles. Charles was
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: going to give me some guidance on the whole diet thing. Look,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: it's all about eating and moderation, I believe, you know,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: but when you go back in history and when you
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: look at for example, our grandparents, our grandparents who were
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: out there working on the farm. You know, they were
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: hard working folks. And that's one of the big challenges
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: I think was society at largest. We just don't have
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: a large working population. A lot of people are sitting
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: behind desks or they're you know, they're not getting out there,
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: not physically active. And you've got folks like my grandmother
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: Starns lived to be like one hundred and four, I
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: believe one hundred and five years old, and when she
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: was growing up in the nineteen thirties, they were sending
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: the kids to school with a little pail of bacon, grease,
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: and bread, and that was lunch. That was good eating
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: Dylan back in the day.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 14: Sounds good.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: But then in her later years she would be, you know,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: eating cottage cheese and peanuts. I never did.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 14: Understand that maybe that's the secret.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: Wait, what's going on here, mema. But the whole point is,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: you know, she ate. Our grandparents and great grandparents ate
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: whatever they wanted to eat, and they weren't like giant,
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: ginormously large. I really it wasn't until what the it
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: wasn't until recently that we have seen such, I don't know,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: an explosion of girth in America. You know, back in
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: the nineteen this like back in the nineteen sixties and seventies,
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: early seventies, they used to put out these videos where
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: they would actually mock school children because of the size
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: of their weight. You know, they didn't want people to
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: be larmed, but so they wanted kids to be healthy
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: and to be able to climb. I'm a rope and
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know at charge at the Vietnam you know,
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: or something of that nature. So anyway, I gotta take
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: a break her, folks. Our three of the Big Show

• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: of Columbia, and she is now promising to prosecute parents
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: who failed to supervise their children. She says adults could
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: be fined and they could even face jail time. Janine
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: Piro saying at a press conference, again, this just happening.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: If the evidence shows the parent knew or should have known,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: or permitted or failed to prevent participation, We're gonna charge them.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: If you drop your kid off and you fail to
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: supervise them, or you let them skip school to join
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: the chaos, you're gonna face fines, court ordered classes, possible
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: jail time. I mean, this has been a problem across
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: the entire nation, Ladies and gentlemen, where these these mobs,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: these gangs of teens have been causing mayhem. People have
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: been getting shot, people have been getting killed. It's an
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: ugly situation out there, and I have been shouting this
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: from our big, beautiful, huge microphone here to anyone that
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: would listen, that we've got to start going after moms
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: and Dan. So well done, Jeannine Piro. I'm glad to
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: see the government finally stepping in and saying we've got
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: to do something about this. Our telephone number, by the way,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. Well,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: I want to go right away to the Patriot Mobile
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: newsmaker line and say hello to our good friend, doctor
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: George Barna. He's the director of research at the Cultural
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: Research Center at Arizona Christian University, and doctor Barna, I
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: truly believe that the research you guys are doing is
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: so vitally important as we try to figure out how
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: to fix what is broken in our country right now.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 5: Well, there's a lot that's broken, there's no doubt about that,
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 5: and certainly I think one of the solutions to that
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 5: is for Americans to understand the Christian faith and to
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 5: pursue a biblical version of it. We've got enormous numbers
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 5: of people in the country who call themselves Christians, but
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 5: then when you look at what they believe and how
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 5: they're trying to practice those beliefs, it really doesn't reflect
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 5: what the Bible teaches. So we've got to get back
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 5: to some basics.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: You know, before we jump into before we jump into
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: the research that you guys have here. I'm glad you
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: said that, because yes, a lot of people, especially young people,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: are going back to church. But I'm just curious about
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: the kinds of churches they're going to and what specifically
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: they're being taught from the pulpits. And I think that's
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: a big I'm just wondering, at least from my vantage point.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: I'm just a layman here, but it seems to me
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: that maybe we need to get back to teaching the
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: Bible and the foundational beliefs as opposed to I don't know,
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: self help problem.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 5: Well, absolutely, Todd. I mean, one of the things that
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 5: our research does show is that if you look at
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 5: what churches are teaching about these days. Two years ago
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 5: big national study was done, only about three percent of
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 5: the Protestant churches across the country taught anything during the
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 5: course of that year about sin. So you've got to
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 5: wonder why are people going to church? I mean, if
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 5: you're not even going to be addressing the core issue
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 5: for humanity that we've busted our relationship with God and
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 5: we need to do something to repair it, well you
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 5: might as well just stay home and watch a ballgame.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: Doctor Barna. We've been we've been hearing a lot on TV,
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: on the cable news channels that No Fox has sort
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: of been advancing this notion that gen Z is in
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: the is in the throes of revival. We've seen the
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: kids getting baptized, you know, in math at university campuses,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: which I think are all good things. I mean, if
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: people are being saved and they're being baptized and then
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: hopefully being discipled. But I'm wondering, you guys have been
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: doing a deep dive into this, and are we literally
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: experiencing a revival among this youngest adult generation.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 5: You know, Todd, It's a very hard thing to measure,
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 5: but what I would say is at this point probably not.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 5: We have research tracking the adult portion of gen Z
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 5: for the last six or seven years, so we go
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 5: back to when they were teenagers, we advanced now to
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 5: when they're young adults, and what we're finding is that
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 5: there are some changes in their faith perspectives in their beliefs,
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 5: their behavior. But when we put it all together, it's
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 5: really kind of a mixed bag. They're certainly a group
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 5: that's searching. So I would say this is a great time.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 5: The window is open. The window hasn't been open that
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 5: often in the last decades. It's open right now. But
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 5: the key for us is not to try to impress
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 5: them with performances Sunday morning. It's to try to build
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 5: relationships with them where they trust us, where we can
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 5: have meaningful conversations with them. And by that, I don't
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 5: mean that we're trying to tell them what they need
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 5: to believe, but we're really having a dialogue with them
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 5: that eventually will lead them to the possibility that the
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 5: Bible is true. And so I think that's what's going on.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 5: It's a time of searching, it's a time of some change,
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 5: but I don't really think that we're seeing evidence that
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 5: it's a time of revival yet.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: I'm curious about Charlie Kirk's assassination that was just last September.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: Did you, guys in your research, did you see any
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: movement there in the aftermath. I'm talking about spiritual movement
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: after Charlie's assassination.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we actually had the opportunity to interview national sample
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 5: of gen Zers four months before his assassination and then
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 5: four months after his assassination. During that timeframe, we did
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 5: see some changes. We saw an increase in weekly church
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 5: attendance up about five points among gen Z adults. We
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 5: didn't find much change in terms of Bible reading because
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 5: there have been a lot of reports about how gen
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 5: Z is now reading the Bible. They're buying the Bible
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 5: and record numbers, and there's a course of difference between
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 5: buying a Bible and reading in But nevertheless, we didn't
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 5: see increase there. We did see a big increase in
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 5: a lot of their beliefs, but they were not moving
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 5: toward a more biblical perspective. So once again you have
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 5: to understand that revival is different than transformation, and so
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 5: you know, transformation is a part of a person radically
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 5: shifting from one perspective to another over the long haul
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 5: and having a faith foundation for that. That is one
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 5: thing we discovered Todd is that if you have a
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 5: lot of activity spiritual activity, but it hasn't been preceded
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 5: by change in spiritual beliefs, that support that kind of activity,
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 5: things like going to church or reading the Bible without
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 5: a good understanding spiritually of why to do those things.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 5: Those behaviors don't last over time, they become empty routines.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 5: People get bored with them, tired of them, and they
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 5: leave it and over to long haul. What happens then
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 5: is that when somebody comes along later on and says, oh,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 5: you're really not understanding what Christianity's about, they're not interesting
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 5: because they think they went through the experience well.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: The Patriot Mobile news maker aligned with us today is
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: our friend doctor George Varna. He is the director of
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: research at the Cultural Research and Center at Arizona Christian University,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: and they have a new study out of examining the
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: recent spiritual progress and regress of gen Z. And I'm
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: curious about the regress because you did find some areas
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: where gen Z is not doing so well when it
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: comes to looking and exploring at things biblically.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know. One of those has to do with marriage.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 5: When you ask them about what is a legitimate marriage,
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 5: what kind of marriage would you support? They'll support any
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 5: kind of marriage because they don't believe that there are
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 5: any limitations and so when you talk with them about
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 5: the idea of one man married to one woman, they
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 5: would say, well, that's not really the only way to
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 5: look at it. You may think that's God's only plan,
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 5: but their perspective at its generation is that that's not
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 5: really true. They have a growing tendency to prefer socialism
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 5: over capitalism. We found that there was a fifteen point
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 5: rise in the number of gen Z adults who said
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 5: that Jesus sin while he was on earth. We found
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 5: there was a thirteen point rise in the number of
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 5: them saying that they get helpful guidance regularly from their horoscope.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 5: So you look at all of these things and the
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 5: kinds of things they're suggesting is, man, I'm searching, I'm
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 5: trying to figure it out. I want help, but they're
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 5: not getting it. And so this is a great time
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 5: of opportunity, but we've got to be prepared for it.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 5: And again it comes through that relationship building.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: All right, So, folks, I want you to read this
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: data for yourself, and it's important, especially if you're a pastor,
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: if you're a youth pastor or a college minister, you
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: need to be reading this information that doctor Barna has compiled.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 2: You can do that by going to the Cultural Research
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: Center dot com. That's Cultural Research Center dot com and
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: we'll post all of that and you'll be able to
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: find all of that information there. Doctor Barna. We're gonna
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: have to leave it there, but we always appreciate you
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: coming on the show, and thank you so much for
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: this data. Really appreciate it. You Tom all right, doctor
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: George Barna, everybody, Director of Research at the Cultural Research
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: Center at Arizona Christian University. I think that coming out
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: of the nineteen nineties and into the two thousands, where
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: there was really a performance culture in many of our
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: evangelical churches, where the emphasis was placed on building great
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: worship bands and creating these experiences inside the church, whether
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: it be with lights and smoke machines and the high
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: tech stuff. And there's nothing wrong with that at all,
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: but if that becomes the emphasis, then you water down
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: the message and the message of the Bible, the message
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ cannot be watered down. And I think
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: people are searching, and I mean these are I wouldn't
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: say they're troubling numbers. They're disappointing numbers. But again, if
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: you watch Fox News, oh, we're in the throes of revival.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: I hear you, but I'm not seeing that actually play
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: out in the culture right now. So a fascinating study,
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: and I hope that you go and check that out
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: over at Cultural Research Center dot com. All right, nine
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six, it
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: is open line Friday. Let's go to Gainesville, Georgia. Susie
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: is on the line. Hi, Susie, what's going on?
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 20: Hey, my friend, It's so good to hear your voice.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: Thank you, But Susie, good to hear yours too. You
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: scared me, well, I didn't you know, a lot of
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: people told me that, and I felt really bad about it.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: I promise not to scare you.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 20: Anymore, all right, thought, Okay, because I missed the great
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 20: Russian bass voice, and I don't want to miss your
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 20: voice as long as I'm believing.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'll make a deal with you. I guarantee you
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: I'll do my best.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 20: Hi, thought, Hey, I want to talk about the governor's
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 20: race in Georgia. Bart Jones is not leading in this.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 20: Regardless of what Joe from Militay says. Jackson is many
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 20: points ahead of him, and Martha Zahler says that Burt
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 20: Jones is not.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: Even gonna be in a runoff, is that right? You know,
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: we need to get Martha on the show Monday so
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 2: she can give us some guidance here. So, so what's
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 2: going on there? Why it does seem like it's been
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: a pretty contentious primary battle there on the Republican side.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 20: Oh, you better believe it. It's been a don't fight
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 20: or cat fight, whatever you want to call it, Todd.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 20: It's just been so so nasty. But I personally spoke
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 20: with Burt Jones.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 9: Todd.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 20: He wouldn't even look at me and talk to me.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: Is that right?
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 7: That's right?
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 20: Mama said, what do you do? Just keep looking over
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 20: your shoulder. I said he did. He just would not
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 20: look me in the eye talk to me, Todd.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: Well, go ahead, Susie, you're speaking truth here. And I
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: did pull up the latest primary polls, so they do.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 2: There's the New York Times and they've compiled all the
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: polls and they have Jackson leading every single poll except
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: for the Emerson College Pole where Jones and Jackson are tied.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: But you've got Jackson in one poll, Jackson up by
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: fifteen points, but mostly he's up by about five or
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: six points over Jones and all of the.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 20: Polls right and.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 6: Way.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 20: Republicans in Georgia need to get our heads out of
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 20: the saying and quit fighting among each other and realize
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 20: who's gotten the lead overall, thought is Keisha Lance Bottoms.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 20: You need to just look at her. I mean it,
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 20: I saw poles against her in all the Republican candidates,
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 20: and she's beaten the slop out of Todd.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's I've been watching that polling data. And of
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: course Bottom's the former really failed mayor of Atlantia, just
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 2: did a terrible job. Yet she is leading decisively on
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 2: the Democrat side of the island those primaries, which, by
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: the way, the primaries are coming up on Tuesday.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 20: So yes, yes, and I'll we don't meet her as
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 20: our governor, Todd, because how she's longing is more hand out,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 20: more medicaid, more free this more free. Then I thought
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 20: you said, just like that crazy man in New York.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: Well, very well, maybe, Susie, I've got to leave it there,
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: but I'm glad you called in and and you called
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: out Joe from La j I know he's listening, but
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: uh uh, Susie, the numbers are the numbers and right
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: now all of the polling data, I think there are
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 2: one two three. There are four polls out there where
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: Jones is leading. An overwhelming majority have Jackson in the
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: lead there in the Republican primary. Susie, thanks for keeping
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: us honest. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: two six. This is the Todd Sterns Show. All right,
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: welcome back. This is the Todd Sterns Rate Show. I'm
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: texting with Martha Zalor. She and I. We're gonna get
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: Martha on the show Monday. She's traveling and she's actually
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: going to be in Memphis, Dylan, we got to make
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: sure that we treat Martha right when she comes through town.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 14: She just missed the barbecue contest.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: Well that's not a bad thing, you know. She she
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: just had a heart attack herself a while back.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 14: So well, you guys are gonna be in the same diet.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 14: Then maybe was.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: There a cottage cheese restaurant in town or something out
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: on a salad barns?
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 14: Yeah, all the pizza joints.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: That's it. Yeah, that's it. Just hold the pepperoni and
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: the cheese place and some of that raggou. Poor Joe
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: from Joe. I feel bad for Joe Joe Messina. I
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: think we really triggered the guy.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 14: Yeah, we did. He seems like he's a really authentic chef.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 14: We just kind of butchered it.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: I think, well, he's Italian, you know, and so they
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: really take offense to the raggou and the prey go.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 2: It would kind of be like us, you know, the
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: visceral reaction when somebody says, would you like to hear
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: some would you like to have some biscuits? And you're like,
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: I would love a biscuit, And all of a sudden,
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: you hear pop on the and it's like one of
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: the cans. Oh yeah, and they're plopping down those little,
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 2: you know, hockey puck things.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 14: Yeah. No, that's that's fair. That's a fair gav. I
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 14: got it.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: I didn't realize and I did not mean to dwell
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 2: on this or linger on this, but we've had a
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: lot of calls this week, so I do want to
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 2: share this with you because I do this every year
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: at this time, and it just so happens that the
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: anniversary date falls on Sunday, which is when we do
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: not broadcast May seventeenth, it will have been twenty Wow,
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: it's wow. It's twenty one years since I had open
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 2: heart surgery thirty seven years old. I thought I went
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: to the doctor, I thought I had a case of bronchitis.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: Thought I thought I was going to go home with
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: some robotussen. And the next thing you know, I'm in
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: the hospital for three weeks having pretty major open heart surgery.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: It turned out my my aortic valve had was just
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 2: about ready to shut down, and so they did open
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: heart surgery and they gave me a beautiful Saint Jude
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 2: heart valve, and that heart valve has been and keeping
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: me going for twenty one years. Of course, we had
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: the scare a couple of weeks ago, but that's all
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: taken care of now and every single day. You know,
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: a lot of people say time you work too much,
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: And first of all, I love working. It's just that's
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: part of my nature. I just feel like I need
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: to be doing something. But also I think, you know,
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: for me, there was a sense of urgency about it,
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: knowing that we're not guaranteed tomorrow and I want to
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: be able to pack as much as I can into
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 2: every every single day. That being said, if you are
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: if you're out there and you haven't been to visit
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: a cardiologist. I want to encourage you to do that.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 2: Just get yourself checked out. You know, it's just a precaution.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: But we want we want to make sure everybody sticks
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 2: around for a long time. So I want to say
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: thank you to all the doctors and nurses out there
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: that put me back together again. I will never ever
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 2: forget that as long as I live, all right, which
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: is going to be a long time, by the way,
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 2: all right, we'll be right back, all right, Welcome back, everybody.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show and Dylan. You know,
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: I did not forget about this, and we're posting it
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: right now on our on our website Todd Stearns dot com.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 2: All this week people have been phoning in and I
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: think this may have I don't know, correct me if
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: i'm this may be the most popular topic of the
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: entire week, the President's call for American young people to
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 2: get out there and have more babies.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 14: Yeah, and what we did blew up and everyone has
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 14: a song in an opinion.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 2: So we're doing our part, and we're actually we have
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 2: coined the phrase. So when you hear others talk about
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 2: this we have actually we're the ones who created this.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 2: It's called the Make America Fertile Again movement MafA, if
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: you will. And as our very first initiative, which we
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: have now officially posted on Tom Sterns dot com is
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: the is the Baby Making Music Playlist. So we and
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 2: we say us, it's really you, the great listeners of
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 2: the Tod Sterns Radio show audience, and you guys have
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: come out there and uh, Dylan, we've crafted the list
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: which we are going to add to so we still
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 2: have time before the end of the show. If you
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 2: have a suggestion for a song that maybe a young
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 2: couple in love, maybe they're sitting there by candlelight, and
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 2: they're nursing their doctor Pepper's and they're exchanging romantic glances,
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: and you know, their music always just sort of makes
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: the moment. Teddy Pendergrass is currently leading our list with
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 2: Turnout the Lights, and we've got a lot of others.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 2: But if you've got a suggestion, if you want to
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: add to the list, first of all, you can see
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: it at tod Sterns dot com and then you can
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 2: call in nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 2: two six. That's nine oh one two six zero nine
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: two six, and you can actually send in your recommendation.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: Somebody said, Barney the Dinosaur song, that's just weird. I know,
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 2: I think they were joking. I hope so too. We
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: should call the police. Yeah, I'm just saying, all right.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Stars Radio Show. Well, yesterday on
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: my Newsmax program, we had the Lieutenant governor of South
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: Carolina one and she said there's gonna be some payback
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 2: in South Carolina after these rogue Republicans decided to defy
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: President Trump on redistricting. Well, to help us understand what
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 2: that's all about, a former lawmaker there in South Carolina.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 2: He is president of Majesty Music, Adam Morgan. Adam, good
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 2: to have you with us today.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 21: Hey, Todd, good to be with you.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: You know, before I'm just gonna go there, I wasn't
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: gonna go there, adamateur of music guy. I mean, is
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: there you know, for all the good Christian, you know,
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 2: the good Baptist folks out there, is there a good
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 2: song that you know you would recommend they play to,
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 2: you know, to have a romantic evening together.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 21: Yeah?
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 2: Probably not on him.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 21: But you know, I think, you know, if the text
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 21: that it would be based on has got to be
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 21: out a song of Solomon, and that's a good Baptiste's
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 21: you got to read song of Solomon.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: I'm blushing a little bit here, my goodness. Okay, thank
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 2: you for that, Adam. So look, the lieutenant governor, I
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: was kind of impressed with her. I never met her
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 2: before and never had never had the chance to interview her,
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: but she seemed really fired up and disgusted with what
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 2: these Republicans did. I'm curious what the mood is there
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 2: in the Palmetto State.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 21: Yeah, I mean, it's maddening. They basically took the opportunity
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 21: to easily pass a new district that would have actually
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 21: been constitutional, and they sided with Democrats. They actually heeded
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 21: all of the Democrat talking points. And it was only
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 21: five Republican legislator senators who did this. And you know
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 21: they're saying, oh, our maps just fine. One of them
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 21: actually said, you know, we've got a fight against the
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 21: pressure from DC. This is a state's rights issue in
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 21: a federal federalism issue. Attacking the president for just you know,
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 21: implying that they should do it. I mean, He didn't
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 21: pressure anybody, he didn't demand anything, and it just shows
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 21: you the state of the Republican Party we have these
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 21: week leaders. We've got to stop electing these kind of
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 21: Republicans who the only time they find their courage is
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 21: to fight conservatives. And it's past the House. The governor's
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 21: supportive of it, and he's now called a special session
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 21: to try to force their hand because they've already killed
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 21: it once. And really, at this point, it just comes
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 21: down to the clock. Can these five senators talk several
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 21: of their other members who are Republicans who support this,
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 21: Can they talk them into delaying this just long enough
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 21: to kill it? This and the deadline is May twenty six,
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 21: that's early voting here in South Carolina. So if they
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 21: don't pass a new map, we're stuck with the racially
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 21: jerrymandered sixth Congressional district, that is Jim Clyburn's district. Former
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 21: Democratic whip Nancy Pelosi, a close ally and the very
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 21: man who gave us Barack Obama and Joe Biden, because
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 21: if you remember South Carolina's first in the South primary,
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 21: and it was Jim Cliburn, his endorsement and his working
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 21: his network in South Carolina that both won Barack Obama
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 21: and Joe Biden the Southlina primary, which cleared the way
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 21: for them to win the Democratic nomination and then be
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 21: our president. So we have a chance to get rid
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 21: of this guy. We have a supermajority. Will the Republicans
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 21: do it?
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 2: That's the big question. I think a lot of people
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 2: get confused when they see things like this happen, and
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 2: it's not the only state. But the reality is that
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 2: a lot of these Republicans in the Southern states are
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 2: actually closeted Democrats in many of these instances.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 21: Absolutely, because it's a Republican super majority. They know they
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 21: would never win if they ran as Democrats, so they
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 21: just want the power and the control of the legislature,
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 21: so they just simply run as Republicans and they spend
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 21: most of their time opposing conservative legislation and working with Democrats.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 21: And really, I mean, I know you had the lieutenant
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 21: governor on, but we should also point out that the
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 21: governor himself of South Carolina initially refused to call a
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 21: special session and publicly stated that he wasn't going to
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 21: support one way or the other the redistricting effort, and
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 21: it wasn't just South Carolina. It happened in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia,
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 21: South Carolina. The Supreme Court says, hey, no more racial jerrymandering.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 21: It's unconstitutional. We've suffered under it for thirty years in
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 21: the South, a rubber stamping racism, in fact, using it
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 21: as a moral imperative that you have to jerrymander on
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 21: the basis of race, and that radicalized generations of youth
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 21: and a minority groups. And finally we have the chance
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 21: to stop it, and the decisions handed down and all
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 21: these Republican governors reflexively say now, we're not going to
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 21: do that. And it's only because of public pressure and
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 21: the Republican base just losing their minds over it that
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 21: they actually reverse course, all but Mississippi and have now
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 21: kind of started the process and we'll see if it
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 21: gets done. And now we see the Senate the exact
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 21: same thing, with five senators all saying, now, I don't
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 21: think we need to do this, we shouldn't do this.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 21: This is wrong. Even one guy, a Republican Tom Davis,
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 21: right here in South Carolina claiming that it's unconstitutional for
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 21: us to redistrict the unconstitutional Gerrymander districts. Wrap your mind
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 21: around that.
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 2: It's yeah, it's this is a head scratcher. The Lieutenant
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 2: governor seems to think there's going to be some blowback
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 2: on these lawmakers when they are up for reelection. We
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 2: saw that in Indiana where they were just decimated. All
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 2: the Republicans who stood against President Trump pretty much got
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: wiped out. I'm wondering, do you think that we are
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 2: going to see that happen in South Carolina.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 21: It would be a great day in South Carolina if
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 21: we if we do, and I think there will be
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 21: a definite reaction to it. The downside is their elections
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 21: are two years away, which is why they're so emboldened
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 21: to do this. You know, the House initially said they
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 21: were opposed to it. Then when we really started holding
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 21: their feet to the fire, they all flipped and it
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 21: passed unanimously. Not a single Republican opposed it in the
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 21: South Carolina House. That's because their elections are right now
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 21: there in June. But the Senate thinks that they'll have
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 21: enough time that people forget And I'll just simply say
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 21: we're not going to let them forget it. There's too
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 21: many people that are laser focused on this. We'll make
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 21: sure these guys get challengers that are strong in the
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 21: primary and we defeat them. They've been exposed they I
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 21: mean not even just apart from that. They're not supporting
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 21: the Republican Party or not supporting President Trump's initiative or whatever.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 21: They're not supporting the constitution. They're not defended. I mean,
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 21: the most sacred the thing you have is that you
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 21: take an oath to do it. And they can't be bothered.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 21: They want to protect Jim Clyburn's seed. Why they literally said, well,
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 21: because we get more money if a Democrat, you know,
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 21: is in the administration as president, and so it's kind
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 21: of nice to have a Democrat in Congress, so we
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 21: should protect that using racial jerrymanderin, which is ludicrous. There's
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 21: nineteen states that are single party control. You don't just
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 21: lose your ability to get any funding from Washington when
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 21: the opposition party is in control. It's not how it works.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 21: It's all gas lighting, right, and it's sad that Republicans
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 21: push these talking points all right.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 2: Anam Morgan joining us on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line today.
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 2: He's president of a majesty music and just a great
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: American patriot. Majesty Music dot Com is the website that's
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: Majesty music dot com. Addam any inclination to jump back
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: into politics.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 21: Yeah, well, I think these senators are rage baiting me
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 21: into running for office, because if nothing else, I'll be
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 21: hyper focused on recruiting candidates. I'm working closely with the
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 21: South Carolina Freedom Caucus guys. Help start that group. And
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 21: by the way, they filed a bill to actually redistrict
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 21: in January. They knew the Supreme Court decision was coming.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 21: They said, hey, let's get ready for this so that
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 21: it's ready to go and we can get it done.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 21: They didn't even give the bill a here. So if
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 21: only the establishment would listen to conservatives, so I'm focused
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 21: on helping them.
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: All right, All right, Adam, we're gonna leave it there,
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 2: my friend, have a great weekend, and we'll look forward
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 2: to getting you back on soon.

• 1:43:25
  Speaker 2: All right, there you have it, folks. Yeah, look, we're
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 2: gonna have Just because there's an R behind your name
• 1:43:31

• 1:43:35
  Speaker 2: And there's got to be some retribution here. Retribution nine
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. Our
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 2: telephone number, that's nine oh one two six zero five

  Speaker 2: nine two six. Dylan is sort of weird going to
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 2: our website right now and seeing the words Todds make
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 2: America fertile again. Playlist.
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 14: We're just trying to do America a good service.
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 2: We're trying to do a solid to the president. That's all.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 2: Uh So let's go to the phones. We've got Nathan
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 2: in Arkansas who has a suggestion for our list. Nathan,
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 2: what you got for us?
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 6: Well?
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 8: I have the song from the wedding singer Girl Old
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 8: with You that Adam Taylor's character sings on the airplane
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 8: when he proposes to Drew Barry Morris character, and it's
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 8: one of the classics. But he actually look it up.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 8: There's actually another song that he does that has the
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 8: different lyrics. But the ones that I you know, prefer
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 8: the ones that are.
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 6: On the movie.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 19: Thank you, smut.
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 2: Oh was this it?
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 19: Whenever you said that share you when you're art writer suspense,
• 1:44:45

  Speaker 8: that song like in a band that I used to
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 8: play in. It was the worship band, but we would
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 8: play that. I would play that song because it was
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 8: just one of our favorite movies at the time.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 2: So is that right?
• 1:45:43

• 1:45:52
  Speaker 2: the They're the family that created all of that. Uh

  Speaker 2: independent Baptist, what romance song do you recommend? We're Baptist.

• 1:46:17
  Speaker 2: of fact, No, I love that I love that song.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 2: I was just trying to think of what hymns would
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 2: be appropriate recording, and I kept coming back to Lovelift
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 2: and me that was about ends.
• 1:46:29

  Speaker 2: in Salem, Oregon, k y k n so. Tom, I
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 2: understand that you've got songs that should not be on
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 2: the list.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 9: Yeah. My first thought when I heard about this was
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 9: maybe we need an anti list. And because it's one
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 9: of the first one, I thought it was Simon U
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 9: fifty Ways to Leave your Lovers.
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 2: D jeez, that's fair enough, fair enough.
• 1:47:17

  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six Your last Moments to
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 2: get your song on our Make America Fertile Again playlist,
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 2: also known as Baby Making Music. Nine oh one two
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. This is the Todd
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 2: start show. All right, welcome back to the Top Stars
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 2: Radio show. Going back to a call we had earlier
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 2: in the in the program about President Trump, and the
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 2: guy was really upset because President Trump was bending over
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 2: backwards and kissing the behind of of Gigiping. And there's
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 2: a report out and again I said, I strongly disagreed
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 2: with how the guy was framing the argument here. And
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 2: I pointed out that Trump is a smart man, and
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 2: Trump knows that ultimately, you know, China is the enemy.
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 2: But we're gonna he's gonna go over there, and he's
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 2: going to make the best argument, the best case he
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 2: can for the American people. I mean, that's why he's
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 2: over there. So anyway, there's a report of the New
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 2: York Post about the about the delegation that went over
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 2: to China and all of the electronics, you know, the
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 2: they were all lavish with all sorts of wonderful gifts
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 2: and things of that nature when they were when they
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 2: were over there, and and it turns out they weren't
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 2: allowed to bring any of it back with them. So
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 2: as a matter of fact, every person that was over there,
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 2: was part of the delegation, actually had to have a
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 2: fresh burner phone. They weren't allowed to bring any of
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 2: their devices over and again this all this goes back
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 2: to the fact that Trump doesn't trust these people, nor
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 2: should we trust China. But that doesn't mean we can't
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 2: make some sort of a deal. And that was the
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 2: point of this New York New York Times, or rather
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 2: the New York Post piece. I'm just kind, it's terrible,
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 2: but yeah, you can't trust them at all. So anyway,
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 2: according to the New York Post, prior to boarding Air
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 2: Force one to depart beishing, the entire US delegation disposed
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 2: of every single item that was provided to them by
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 2: their Chinese host. And it as a matter of if
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 2: it's like like a tiny little pin or maybe one
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 2: of those I know, beanie babies, if those were a thing,
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know what they get of them over there
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 2: gives commemorative items. All of it was dumped into a
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 2: giant trash bin on the site. According to the Post,
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 2: the director was absolute no item of Chinese origin was
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 2: allowed to board the aircraft. According to the Post, the
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 2: precautions extended beyond the departure itself. Delegation members left all
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 2: personal electronic devices at home before traveling to China and
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 2: operated exclusively on clean burner phones throughout the duration of
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 2: the trip. And let me just say that's just common sense,
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. It's just common sense. So there you come,
