• 3:23
  Speaker 2: to Israel, and you know he and it's interesting because
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: he and Chuck Norris have been longtime friends. And one
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: of the things about Chuck Norris is that is that
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: he was a patriot and he was like one of
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: these John Wayne sort of guys, you know, for those
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: of us in the UH in the in the eighties
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: of course with Delta Force, and I mean he had
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: the killer mullet. You know, the guy was just like
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the man's man. Everybody wanted to be like Chuck Norrich.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Somebody wanted to be Chuck Norris. And by the way,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: he wasn't one of these like how he would squishy dudes.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was the man. He was a mixed
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: martial arts champion and uh just had an incredible career,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: an incredible athlete, and he was the guy. So Mike
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Huckabee and I don't know if you guys, if you
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: go back into the time machine when Mike Huckaby was
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: running for president, this is when he dropped like one
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: hundred pounds and was running marathons, and he actually won
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the Iowa caucus. And it stunned everybody because, you know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: folks thought, oh, it's John McCain's or no, it was
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Mike Huckabee who won that caucus, and a lot of
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: people say it was because of Chuck Norris. So, Chuck
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Norris actually cut an ad, a campaign ad for Mike Huckabee,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: and honestly, this was one of the most brilliant political
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: ads I've ever seen. And they actually say this ad
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: is what gave Mike Huckaby the victory in in Iowa.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Take a listen.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: An important policy message from Governor Mike Huckaby.
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: My plan to secure the border. Two words, Chuck Norris.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: Mike Kuckaby's a lifelong hunter to'll protect our Second Amendment rights.
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: There's no chin behind Chuck Norris's beard, only another fist.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: Mike Kuckaby wants to put the irs out of business.
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: When Chuck Norris doesn't push up, he isn't lifting himself up,
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: He's pushing the earth down.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: Mike's a principled, authentic conservative.
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: Chuck Norris doesn't endorse. He tells America how it's going
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: to be. I'm Mike Huckabee and I approved this message.
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: So did Chuck. Chuck Norris approved.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: I love that. You know, we should have gotten Chuck
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Norris to voice the show opener. That's what we should
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: have done.
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: I agree.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: So anyway, we're gonna be We're gonna be celebrating a
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Chuck Norris today because he was a great American patriot.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: And by the way, John Wayne was one of his
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: heroes growing up. But this guy was the real deal.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: He had black belts in karate Taekwondoe, and he was
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: actually encouraged by Steve McQueen to become an actor. Of course,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Steve McQueen a bullet fame, and he was taking karate
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: lessons from Chuck Norris, and that's how they got to
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: know each other. And then, of course Walker Texas Ranger.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: They redid Walker Texas Ranger a couple of years ago,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: and they got some sort of a weirdo It was
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: like a weirdo metrosexual Walker Texas Ranger with issues. They
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: may as well put a woman in the role. But
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I mean it was really sort of the It was
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: the anti Chuck Norris Walker Texas Ranger, which is why
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the show completely bombed. But anyway, Chuck Norris man, I
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: mean the number of movies everybody remembers Delta Force that
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: came out in nineteen eighty six, and then they did
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: a sequel a few years later, a Code of Silence
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Invasion Oh Invasion USA, where Chuck Norris I think, defeated
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: an entire enemy nation's army by himself. It was amazing.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: You know. Here's another little known fact about the original
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Walker Texas Ranger, Dylan. It was created by guy by
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the name of Al Ruddy, and Al Ruddy was the
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: producer of The Godfather film back in the early nineteen seventies.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: In the late sixties early seventies, Al Ruddy also was
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: responsible for a TV show And this sounds so absurd,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: but it was based a It was based in a
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: prisoner of war camp. It was a thirty minute comedy.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: It was a prisoner of war camp called Hogan's Heroes,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: and it was one of the most popular shows. And
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: nobody thought it would work. But it was one of
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: the funniest shows, and many of you might remember that.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: But anyway, I don't want to get too far away here,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: but Al Ruddy is and that's the reason why Walker
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Texas Ranger was so incredibly successful. It was just a great,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: great program. And he played Cordel Walker, the US Marine
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: turned Texas Ranger. Unbelievable. It's just hard to imagine that
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: he's already gone. But God, God blessed Chuck Norris and
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: his family. The family, by the way, he was actually
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: born in Oklahoma, not too far away from the Texas border.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: His dad was a mechanic and a truck driver, and
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: his mom did odd jobs to help pay for pay
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: the bills. They were. He grew up very poor, well
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: not incredibly poor, but they were a poor family, working
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: class family, and he had two brothers. He was the oldest,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: and he was born Carlos Ray Norris, so Carlos, and
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: they called him Chuck. He once said, I am equal
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: parts Irish and Native American. He was determined, though, to
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: grow up. His dad had a drinking problem. Often the
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: dad was a wall and so Chuck Norris started looking
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: at movie stars like John Wayne and Roy Rogers and
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Gene Autry as those male role models, and he wrote
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: in his book that he was determined that one day
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: he would grow up to be like them. And he
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: really adapted this what they call it the Code of
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: the West, loyalty, friendship, and integrity. And that's the kind
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: of character he had. And I mean what you saw
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: on TV, what you saw on the screen was really
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Chuck Norris in real life. He also served in the
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Air Force, by the way, So there you'd go, Chuck Norris.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: What a great American patriot. By the way, he did
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: meet Bruce Lee, but I don't believe they ever. I
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: don't think they fought. But anyway, great just a great
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: life and a great career, and he certainly was a
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: great American patriot. Oh, I forgot about this. The Chuck
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Norris karate school actually got a credit in the movie
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Dolomite back in nineteen seventy five. And he also gave
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: private lessons to a lot of Hollywood stars, including I
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: mentioned Steph McQueen, also Priscilla Pressley, and believe it or not,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Bob Barker from The Price Is Right. And I guess
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Bob Barker needed it. Because you know sometimes those middle
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: aged housewives when they won the showcase showdown, I mean,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: they'd go crazy, so Bob had to put him in
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: their place. So anyway, god lets chuck. We've got a
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: lot going on today, a lot in the news, President
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Trump making headlines as well. We're going to get to

• 12:07
  Speaker 2: say Starns. You're going to get two three weeks. You
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: can't miss out on this, folks. Eight six four six
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: four four nineteen hundred. Say the word Starns or visit
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: phdweightloss dot com. That's phdweightloss dot Com. The phone number
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: one more time eight six four sixty four four nineteen
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: hundred and say Starns. All right, new polling data coming
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: out of Texas. You know there's a big, big runoff
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: race in the US Senate primary the Republican side of
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: the al You've got Ken Paxton, the Attorney General. You've
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: got the incumbent senator John cornhim and the President Trump
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: has not endorsed anybody in that race. So this new
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: survey information coming from Impact Research, and this is really remarkable.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: So keep in mind John Cornyn has been the incumbent senator.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: People in Texas can't stand this guy. So the new
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: polling data, and keep in mind the runoff is not
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: until May. Here we are in March, Ken Paxton has
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: a sixteen point lead over John Cornyon, fifty three percent
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: of the vote to thirty seven percent of the vote.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: And by the way, I am hearing from conservatives and
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: any of our Texas listeners. You can verify this information
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: or you can say it's a load of huey, But
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: what we are hearing from many many conservatives in Texas,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: they don't want if Trump is going to if Trump
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: is leaning towards endorsing John Cornyn, they're asking the President
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: just to stay out of it. Just stay out of it,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: don't endorse anybody, and let the voters decide. Now. On
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: the other hand, if the President is coming out and saying,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: you know what, I think, I'm just going to go
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: in and throw in for Ken Paxton, well everybody's okay
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: with that. But there's a lot of concern here that
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: President Trump might step in and try to save John Cornyn. Look,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: if you're the incumbent senator and you're trailing by sixteen
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: points against the attorney general, it's over. It is over.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: I and again, I would not be surprised somewhere along
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: the line that Cornyn. I mean, if these polly, if
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: there are more polls that are coming out, and these
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: numbers are very similar across the board. I wouldn't be
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: surprised if Cornyn, for the good of the country and
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: for the good of the lone Star state, designs to
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: pull out. But then again, he may try to tough
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: it out. You know, he spent most of his money
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: nearly getting beat in the in the primary race. So
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: that's the latest from Texas. That's nine oh one two
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. Let's start open line
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Friday and La j Georgia. Our good buddy Joe from
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: La Joe, what's going on?
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: Well time, you have a great show. I'm down here
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: in Sea Island.
• 15:04
  Speaker 9: You've got a lot of friends down here that like you.
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: And I'm amazed. I go around talking to people. I've
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: sort of done an informal poll, and about ninety five
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: percent of the people I'm talking to down here at
• 15:16
  Speaker 8: Sea Island to port Trump and his arrayon going after
• 15:20
  Speaker 8: and saving Iran. Of course, they love what they think.
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: Cuba's gonna fall too, so and Venezuela is already you know,
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: in our camp. So I tell you what I think
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: Trump is just so popular down here. I think you
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: could run for mayor of Sea Istland and get elected.
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: But Todd, you do a great job, and I know you,
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: and I hope Packson, by the way, I hope Paxson
• 15:41
  Speaker 8: wins in Texas. I've talked to a lot of Texas
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: people here at Sea Island and about eighty five percent
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: on the Fort Paxson. I think Corning, I think we
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: need to move on and get rid of these career
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: politicians and elect new people because Corner has been there
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: so long. We need new leadership, new blood. But anyway,
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: I know you've got a lot of other callers. You
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: keep up the great work, Brown Eye.
• 16:05

• 18:30
  Speaker 2: I reached out yesterday to the cafe. I called them
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: five times and finally finally got through, only get a voicemail,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: but the voicemail was was full, so there's no way
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: to contact. They're not answering the phones now, and they're
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: but they're doubling down and they're saying conservatives are not
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: welcome at their establishment, and I say, okay, no problem
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: with that. Personally, I would much rather eat at a
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: restaurant that serves biscuits than Chrislaunt. To be perfectly honest
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: with you, Southern hospitality always Trump's whatever the French are doing, No,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Somebody asked are the owners lesbians? That
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: reporting is out there, but I cannot verify that. We'll
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: try to see if there's like a Google you know
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: they do the Google Maps. We'll see if they're any
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: super rooster in the parking lot. That might be a clue.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: All right, gotta take a break. Nine oh one two
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. This is the Todd
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Sterns Show. All right, Welcome back everybody. It is the
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Todd Stearns Radio Show. What an honor to have you
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: with us today. Our telephone number nine oh one two
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. I do want to
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: go to the phone lines real quick. Steven and Morehead City,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: North Carolina wants to weigh in on Chuck Norris. Hey, Steve,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: even what you got for us?
• 20:02
  Speaker 12: Hi Todd? From one despicable American to another. I still
• 20:07
  Speaker 12: pass that book around. That is a wonderful book that
• 20:10
  Speaker 12: you heard.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you for that.
• 20:12
  Speaker 12: Thank you, And it has turned a lot of people
• 20:15
  Speaker 12: onto the program, and it's made people think so so
• 20:21
  Speaker 12: thank you for that. As far as Chuck Norris, I
• 20:25
  Speaker 12: feel absolute parallel. You mentioned his influences John Wayne, Bruce
• 20:32
  Speaker 12: Ley and on and on on. Think of that being
• 20:35
  Speaker 12: it just it occurred to me, is you look at
• 20:38
  Speaker 12: our present and you look at except Norris. Doesn't it
• 20:43
  Speaker 12: occur to you that they're exactly the same as far
• 20:46
  Speaker 12: as the type of character and patriotism, and they're both
• 20:51
  Speaker 12: tough guys, you know.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, I see that now that you mentioned, and
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: I do sort of see the comparisons between the two
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: because you know, a lot of a lot of folks
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: think that, you know, Donald J. Trump too, is sort
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: of indestructible. Everybody kind of thought, Chuck Norris is, you know,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: going to live on forever?
• 21:08
  Speaker 13: Right?
• 21:09
  Speaker 12: Well, Donald Trump, he's he's getting on up there, and
• 21:13
  Speaker 12: I did hear, and I hope you can explain to him.
• 21:15
  Speaker 12: And did they or did they not meet? I seem
• 21:19
  Speaker 12: to remember that Chuck Norris did meet with the president,
• 21:24
  Speaker 12: not when he was president. I don't think that is true.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no, no, no. They did meet publicly, at
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: least I think there was a rally in Texas. This
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: would have been back in twenty sixteen that Norris and
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: his wife actually met, But they also met many many
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: years before that as well, and I think it was
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: at some sort of a mixed martial arts event. So yeah,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: I think you're right there. All right, Steven, thank you
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: for that call. I want to go right away to
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: the Patriot Mobile. Newsmaker line Our good Friend. He is
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: the host of the number one talk radio show in Richmond, Virginia,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: w r VA, Our Good Buddy Jeff Katz, which also
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: happens to be the home of the Todd Stern Show
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: on the weekends. Mister Katz, good to have you with
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: us today.
• 22:12
  Speaker 14: It is wonderful to hear your voice, brother Starn. Then again,
• 22:15
  Speaker 14: it's always wonderful to hear your voice.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: As soon as I got the news is what I like.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: We got to get cats on the show to talk
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: about this because Chuck Norris is just one of these iconic,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: you know, heroes for a lot of people, and especially
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: a lot of conservatives out there, and a lot of
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: young men especially.
• 22:33
  Speaker 14: Well, he personified what an American man was supposed to be.
• 22:37
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 22:37
  Speaker 14: He was up by the bootstrap sort of a guy.
• 22:42
  Speaker 14: He worked hard, he achieved greatness, talented in so many areas,
• 22:47
  Speaker 14: and strong, I mean, our real, honest to goodness strong guy.
• 22:52
  Speaker 14: And the message that you probably got that I know
• 22:56
  Speaker 14: I got was you have to be able to fight.
• 22:59
  Speaker 14: You have to be ready to fight. You don't want to,
• 23:02
  Speaker 14: but don't ever back away from something somebody else starts.
• 23:04
  Speaker 14: If you finish it. And I think it's a lesson
• 23:07
  Speaker 14: that Chuck Norris shared with us. And just like your
• 23:09
  Speaker 14: previous caller was saying, I mean, this is what President
• 23:11
  Speaker 14: Trump has embraced as well as it's American exceptionalism and
• 23:16
  Speaker 14: American strength.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: That's it. As a matter of fact, Dylan, do we
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: have those Chuck Norris. Here, here are some of the
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: fun Chuck Norris facts. Let's take a lesson. You know,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: they say Chuck Norris is so tough, there's no chin
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: under his beard. There is only another fished.
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: That's ridiculous, Chuck Norris.
• 23:35
  Speaker 15: I heard another rumor that you were bitten by King Kober.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was, but after five days of agonizing pain,
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: the cobra died.
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: You know, Chuck, I hear that when you do a
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: push up, you're not really pushing yourself up, you're pushing
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: the earth down.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Correct, absolutely, But Norris doesn't turn better. The roundhouse kicks
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: the cows and the butter comes straight out. So I
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: went in and I've been down and I petted him,
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, hear this.
• 24:09
  Speaker 16: Like that.
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: So the trainer says, get up very slowly and back up.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: So the tiger did he slowly got up.
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: And back down.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Ah, you can't make this stuff up, Jeff Gass.
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, I love it.
• 24:25
  Speaker 13: I love it.
• 24:26
  Speaker 14: That's I mean, it's what's so many of us aspire
• 24:29
  Speaker 14: to be, right, I mean, just just cool. It was
• 24:31
  Speaker 14: a cute comfort and if folks realized what a talented
• 24:35
  Speaker 14: martial artist he really was, and he actually invented his
• 24:40
  Speaker 14: own karate discipline throughout the years, I just h accomplished
• 24:46
  Speaker 14: any way.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: You slice, what was the movie? Was it Delta Forest
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: where the mall came? Was the mall taken hostage and
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Chuck Norris went in and saved everybody? Or was that
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: there was Invasion USA, which came out first, and then
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: there was Delta Force. I'm just curious. You and I
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: are very similar in age. Did you do the whole
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Chuck Norris hairdoo the big mullet back in the day.
• 25:10
  Speaker 14: Ah, well, all I will say on that, mister Starrings,
• 25:14
  Speaker 14: is there are no photographs indicating yes or no. So
• 25:18
  Speaker 14: I yeah, of course they did. Yeah, yeah, I gave
• 25:21
  Speaker 14: it a shot. It failed miserably. Chuck Norris's mullet was
• 25:28
  Speaker 14: losing no sleep, and Chuck Chuck Narris's mullet was probably
• 25:32
  Speaker 14: laughing at my attempt anyway.
• 25:33
  Speaker 15: So yeah, but you.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Know there there were teenage boys of a certain age,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: you know when that movie came out, that actually patrolled.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: They would patrol the shopping malls. I think they were
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: ready in the event the Russians decided to invade and
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: take over TJ Max, that.
• 25:52
  Speaker 14: All of our discount socks were going to be safe
• 25:54
  Speaker 14: with those young men. You're absolutely correct.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Jeff Katz joining us on our Patriot
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Mobile news maker line. As we remember the great Chuck
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Norris who was a Trump supporter and met President Trump
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: at a rally in Texas, publicly endorsed the president and
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: said at the time he was really concerned about the
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: country's direction and the need for strong leadership. And you
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: mentioned the whole the masculinity part of Chuck Norris, Jeff Katz,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: and you know, the new iteration of Walker Texas Ranger.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: They took an exact opposite approach to having you know,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: an emotionally troubled you know, Walker Texas Ranger trying to
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: get in touch with you know, his feelings, and it
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: completely bombed. And I think again, young men in America.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: They looked at people like a Donald Trump and a
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Chuck Norris and say, you know what, that's my idea
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: of an American man.
• 26:45
  Speaker 14: Heck yeah, I mean Chuck Norris in Walker Texas Ranger
• 26:49
  Speaker 14: was exactly what what what every law enforcement officer around
• 26:53
  Speaker 14: America thought about it, and every young man's dad, this
• 26:56
  Speaker 14: is what you do?
• 26:58
  Speaker 17: How can you.
• 26:58
  Speaker 14: Find a bad guy and going to be tough enough
• 27:00
  Speaker 14: to step to them? And could you imagine the response
• 27:03
  Speaker 14: from Chuck Narris with the uh that Texas you know,
• 27:07
  Speaker 14: the Walker Texas Ranger version two point zero, because I'm like, oh,
• 27:11
  Speaker 14: you looking for your feelings? I found them, I crushed them.
• 27:13
  Speaker 14: Let get back in the game, kids, rub the dirt off,
• 27:15
  Speaker 14: you know, Let's.
• 27:16
  Speaker 17: Just do it.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: It's it, Jev if we can. Since we have you here,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: I've got to ask you about what in the world
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: is happening in the Commonwealth right now. These Democrats just
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: absolutely insane. The latest we had heard is that they
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: wanted to They're going to text you guys out the wazoo.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: And then the Democrats wanted to take away your guns,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: but they could have kept theirs.
• 27:39
  Speaker 14: Absolutely and in the midst of all of that, they're
• 27:42
  Speaker 14: also trying to steal congressional seats. Yeah, Abigail Spamberger is
• 27:47
  Speaker 14: our governor, and some of us to not pointing a
• 27:50
  Speaker 14: finger at anybody. For me, I told people about her,
• 27:54
  Speaker 14: she's always been a far left wing Percy. He said, Oh,
• 27:57
  Speaker 14: I'm going to be a moderate. I'm going to govern
• 27:59
  Speaker 14: as a mode utterances and the Democrats said, this is
• 28:02
  Speaker 14: all about affordability. President Trump is. He's made everything too expensive.
• 28:06
  Speaker 14: They came up todd with fifteen brand new taxes they
• 28:10
  Speaker 14: are about to impose on us, including a.
• 28:13
  Speaker 9: Tax on sleep.
• 28:14
  Speaker 14: It sounds crazy, but they came up with a way
• 28:17
  Speaker 14: to tax you for sleeping because they don't like the
• 28:19
  Speaker 14: way that mattresses are handled in the Commonwealth. So they're
• 28:23
  Speaker 14: going to set up a brand new Virginia Mattress Commission
• 28:27
  Speaker 14: to address the issue at taxpayer expense and impose a
• 28:31
  Speaker 14: new tax on mattresses. They are absolutely going after guns
• 28:36
  Speaker 14: like nobody's business. The very nonsense they're putting forward now
• 28:40
  Speaker 14: has been struck down by the Supreme Court, It's been
• 28:43
  Speaker 14: struck down by other courts. They don't care, and so
• 28:47
  Speaker 14: that is about to come down the line. Many of
• 28:49
  Speaker 14: us are stocking up as we speak. They came up
• 28:53
  Speaker 14: with an arbitrary number for magazines. They said, oh, you
• 28:56
  Speaker 14: can't have a magazine that has more than ten in it.
• 29:00
  Speaker 14: Then they said, oh, the magic numbers fifteen. So that's
• 29:04
  Speaker 14: what it is today, and let me see what else
• 29:07
  Speaker 14: they're doing. Man, it's oh yes, and you're right. They
• 29:10
  Speaker 14: did have an exception for themselves that while they take
• 29:12
  Speaker 14: hours away, I guess if they're all going to be
• 29:15
  Speaker 14: taken away, they'll get a really good deal, because yes,
• 29:17
  Speaker 14: the members of the General Assembly could keep absolutely everything
• 29:21
  Speaker 14: that they wanted.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Jeff, I'm curious about why all of this happened. What
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: was the problem there? Did Republican voters just stay home?
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Was that the issue? Or do you are you guys
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: just completely overwhelmed by Democrat voters?
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: Now, No, it was it.
• 29:37
  Speaker 14: Was a confluence of things, Todd. If you remember, there
• 29:40
  Speaker 14: was a government shutdown, lots of government workers in northern
• 29:44
  Speaker 14: Virginia who already were anti Trump people, so they were
• 29:47
  Speaker 14: energized to vote. And I hate to say it, but
• 29:50
  Speaker 14: we had a million Republican voters who did not bother
• 29:55
  Speaker 14: to vote. They had come out. They supported President Trump
• 29:58
  Speaker 14: in his re election, which was fan tastic. We were
• 30:00
  Speaker 14: all on board, every one of us, right, and then
• 30:03
  Speaker 14: they did not bother to vote in this election, and
• 30:06
  Speaker 14: there were there were a handful of people who really
• 30:09
  Speaker 14: did believe spam Berger when she claimed to be a moderate,
• 30:13
  Speaker 14: and they ignored all of the evidence to the contrary.
• 30:16
  Speaker 14: They threw their vote to her. And now everybody's paying
• 30:20
  Speaker 14: a very very very big price, and it's getting more
• 30:23
  Speaker 14: and more dangerous here in my beloved Commonwealth as a result.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: So I know, you guys have had a couple of
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: just spotty here there special elections, and it looks like
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: a Publican Republicans one in pretty big big numbers. Are
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: you know, has the party understood they've got a problem
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: here and they've got to get people motivated and get
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: them out to the polls.
• 30:43
  Speaker 14: Well, the Virginia Republican Party, i will say, in the
• 30:47
  Speaker 14: most charitable sense, leaves a.
• 30:50
  Speaker 18: Lot to be desired.
• 30:52
  Speaker 14: We are really really good at beating up on Republicans.
• 30:55
  Speaker 14: We're not so good at mountain campaigns or really contrasting
• 31:00
  Speaker 14: things with Democrats. I wish that were different, but it's
• 31:03
  Speaker 14: just what I've seen through the years. There is a
• 31:06
  Speaker 14: special election underway right now which has motivated a lot
• 31:10
  Speaker 14: of people to not go along with this attempted steal
• 31:15
  Speaker 14: of congressional seats, this jerry mandering that the Democrats are
• 31:19
  Speaker 14: just seeing, hell bent for leather to jam down everybody's throats.
• 31:24
  Speaker 14: Just a couple of years ago, Virginia voted overwhelmingly bipartisan
• 31:28
  Speaker 14: as well, the massive numbers of Democrats joined massive numbers
• 31:32
  Speaker 14: of Republicans to take the redistricting process away from state
• 31:38
  Speaker 14: lawmakers and our governor in October of twenty twenty five,
• 31:43
  Speaker 14: as she was running for governor, said oh, I'm totally
• 31:46
  Speaker 14: opposed to jerry mandering.
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: That's awful.
• 31:48
  Speaker 14: We all ought to be and now this is the
• 31:50
  Speaker 14: first thing they're doing. And she's the one who signed
• 31:52
  Speaker 14: the enabling legislation to put it out there. So that
• 31:56
  Speaker 14: is motivating people. For sure. There are Republicans who are motivated.
• 32:00
  Speaker 14: Our former Attorney General, Jason Millari's God bless him. He's
• 32:04
  Speaker 14: taking point on this. He's traveling throughout Virginia, he's doing
• 32:08
  Speaker 14: a lot of hard work to push back on it.
• 32:12
  Speaker 14: And April to twenty first, we'll find out whether we
• 32:15
  Speaker 14: save even the shred of this great state, this old dominion.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: Well, look, I'm very sympathetic because I don't think this
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: is a Virginia centric problem. I think that Republican parties
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: from the local level all the way up are struggling
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: right now. And Jeff, I think a lot of it
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: may possibly have to do with the fact that everybody's
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: looking at post Trump and trying to take back rest
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: wrestle back control of the party away from the populist
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: and I think they've neutralized the evangelicals to some great
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: extent through the party platform fights that happened in twenty
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: twenty four. And I think they're trying to put grassroots
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Republicans in their place, literally from from border to bordering,
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: coast to coast. I know we're seeing that here in Tennessee,
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: and it's sad to see because when that and I
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: put out a post earlier, Jada said, if we would
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: just focus on fighting the Democrats as much as we're
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: fighting each other, Republicans would actually win some elections.
• 33:23
  Speaker 14: Heck, yeah, from your lips to God's ears, that's exactly right.
• 33:27
  Speaker 14: And you know, Todd, I mean you've been around and
• 33:31
  Speaker 14: much closer to uh to this with the DC folks
• 33:35
  Speaker 14: and all of your national activities We've got a whole
• 33:39
  Speaker 14: collection of Republicans who love not being in power, right,
• 33:44
  Speaker 14: They're perfectly happy to lose. They get to go to
• 33:47
  Speaker 14: the wine and cheese parties they think are important. They
• 33:50
  Speaker 14: don't have to make any pretext of trying to govern,
• 33:54
  Speaker 14: and so many of them people describe them as elites.
• 33:57
  Speaker 14: I don't think they're elites. I think they're elite tists.
• 33:59
  Speaker 14: I think they hate those of us who are the
• 34:01
  Speaker 14: great unwashed, that they always look to for boats, and
• 34:05
  Speaker 14: then we buy into it, we do the hard work,
• 34:08
  Speaker 14: and then they're back to, you know, having cocktails with
• 34:12
  Speaker 14: boats that frankly they shouldn't let in the front doors.
• 34:15
  Speaker 14: So I'm with you. I think there's a massive degree
• 34:22
  Speaker 14: of weakness. And I guess for some of us, I'm
• 34:26
  Speaker 14: going to put myself in this category. Maybe we're just gullible.
• 34:29
  Speaker 14: Maybe we just go along each time thinking this is
• 34:32
  Speaker 14: really different, and we really are Charlie Brown and they
• 34:35
  Speaker 14: really are.
• 34:35
  Speaker 8: See with the.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Football, all right, Jeff Kantz, real quick before we'll let

  Speaker 2: breaking news radio radio organizations in the nation. Right And
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: I can tell you just from my relationship with them
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: as a radio station owner. We carried their product and
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: they knew that there were issues and they were trying
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: to fix those issues. But very disappointed to hear that
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: news today.
• 35:26
  Speaker 14: Oh sure is look as a as longtime radio guy
• 35:29
  Speaker 14: and an admirer of playing with people who passed that

  Speaker 14: CBS news radio operation because there were some really solid

  Speaker 14: reporters through the years there.
• 35:38
  Speaker 18: It's sad.

  Speaker 2: do what needs to be done to get the Save
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: America Actor across the finish line. And I know President
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Trump is so frustrated by all of this, but ultimately
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: there's really not much the president can do at this point.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, John Thune just admitted the
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Democrats may in fact nuke the filibuster when they retake power.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: So John Thun knows exactly what the Democrats are going
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: to do. But he will not intervene. He will not
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: stop the bad guys from getting power. And that's what's

• 38:33
  Speaker 3: Samaritan.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: All right, Hello, everybody, Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Program.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: What an honor to have you with us today. By
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: the way, our telephone number on this open line Friday
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: edition of the show is nine oh one two six
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one two
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. So those of you
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: that are longtime talk radio fans, you may hear, you
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: may have heard of CBS News Radio. They provide news
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: radio updates at the top of the bottom of the
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: hour on some seven hundred radio stations around the nation,
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: and they're nearly one hundred years old. They've been doing this.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: I remember when I bought the radio station in Memphis,
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: Tennessee KWAM. They were one of the original Well, they
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: picked up the CBS News Radio, so they carried CBS
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: News Radio in the Memphis area, and you know, we
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: dropped the service because it was so liberal. Well over
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: the years, some good friends of mine became employed at
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: CBS News Radio and they recognized the bias right away,
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: and they were working diligently to try to provide fair
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: and balanced news on the radio side. The problem was
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: all of those changes had to go right up the
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: food chain, and unfortunately, a lot of the TV side
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: of the operation, which controlled the radio side of the operation,
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: they're just as liberal as a day is long. Now.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: The fact is that CBS News Radio, when it came
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: to breaking news coverage, if there's a storm, an explosion,
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: some sort of a natural disaster. Those kinds were a
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: major like a criminal you know, a major murder thing,
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: or you know, whatever kind of mass shootings or whatever.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: They they were the gold standard for that sort of
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: news coverage. Nobody, not even Fox Radio could meet that standard.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: They were just so good at it. The problem is
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: that the political coverage was off the charts liberal, and
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: so we had to end up dropping the service. And
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: I really it really was heartbreaking because number one, I've
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: got a lot of friends at CBS News Radio, and
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: number two, their coverage outside of the world of politics
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: was actually really good. And one of the big problems
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: in all of radio. And I just want to talk
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: for a moment about about the state of radio in America.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: One of the big problems is these massive corporations, these conglomerates,
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: they come in and they take over and they cookie
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: cutter everything. When you listen to KWA, if you're let
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: me just say something about our great affiliates. And I
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: want to call out especially WDUN and Gamesville, Georgia. This
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: radio station is doing it right and they really have
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: the blueprint. It's a family owned, family run news organization
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: and they do an amazing job, not only on the
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: talk side, but also on the news side and delivering
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: that local component. It is a very unique radio station,
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: but they are driven by excellence. And the same thing
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: is true at a lot of the radio stations that
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: carry this program, mainly because they are not owned by
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: the corporations. They're owned by small groups or families, and
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: they they believe in doing excellent broadcasting on the radio.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: But when you look at, for example, I don't know,
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: the talk radio world in general. You know, everybody wanted
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: to be the next Russia Limbaugh and anybody who said
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: they wanted to be the next Lima Russia Limbaugh. You
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: just have to just delete those people from your minds
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: because they're not authentic. You know, Russia Limball didn't go
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: running around saying I wanted to be the next Paul Harvey. No,
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Russia Limball wanted to be the next Rush Limball. Paul
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Harvey wanted to be the next Paul Harvey. Todd Starns
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: wanted to be the next Todd Starns. You do your
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: own thing, and if people embrace it and they enjoy it,
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: they're going to listen to you. And if they don't,
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: they're going to go somewhere else. But now you've got
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: a lot of these corporations and I'll just I'll call
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: them out. I don't mind. You've got iHeart and Cumulus,
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: and those are the big guys. And they they have
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: their own talk show host and I and they force
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: their radio stations that they own to carry their their product.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: And I don't blame them. I mean, if they own
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: the radio stations, you know you should expect to carry
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: the content, right, I mean that's I own my radio station.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: I decide what airs and what does not air in Memphis,
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: Tennessee on this station. But the problem is a lot
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: of the stuff that these radio these big radio giants
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: are broadcasting is garbage. I mean, I've heard some local
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: morning shows where they literally have hired idiots, I mean,
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: like simpletons that have no knowledge of anything. It's just
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: mind boggling. What's out there that is allowed to go
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: on there. And the reason why is that they want
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: cheap labor, no talent, and a lot of these talk
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: radio hosts think they can just get behind a microphone
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: and just scream at you for three hours, and they
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: think that you're gonna You're supposed to sit there and
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: you're supposed to tolerate it. Then there are other talk
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: show radio. There are other talk show hosts out there
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: who they're always looking for something what they consider something better.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: Oh I'm just a talk radio host now, but I
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: want to be on Fox or I want to be
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: you know, in the Trump administry.
• 44:19
  Speaker 15: You know what.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: That kind of stuff angers me. And I actually interviewed.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: We get a lot of people wanting to come and
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: work here, and I saw a couple of resumes, and
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: I talked to somebody once and I said, well, you
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: know what, what's your goal? What do you want to do?
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: He goes, well, I just see this as a stepping stone.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, okay, great, thanks, we'll get back to you.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: See I love radio, and radio is it for me.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: This is what I love to do. I love to
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: sit behind a microphone and have conversations. I love it
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: when you guys call up and your conversations. And we
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: have a lot of crazy times on this show, and
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: a lot of times we're not even talking about politics.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: We're talking about something just weird. Oh, by the way,
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Dylan and I do have a weird prices right story
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: coming up. But there's a local tie in Statesville, North Carolina.
• 45:09
  Speaker 6: I can't wait.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, we're teasing that, but all that to say is
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: that we just like to spend three hours a day
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: hanging out together. And by the way, that's exactly what
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Rush Limbaugh did. All of these people who think that
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: they're going to be just like Russian all they do,
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: it's all all we do is talk politics and we
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: scream at you. That's what Rush did. Know that is
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: not what Rush did. Rush was an entertainer and Rush
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: covered a lot of stories, a lot of topics. Sometimes
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: he'd start his show off by talking about something that
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: nobody else in the country was talking about because it
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: was something that interested him. And I do that. I
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: do that on the NEWSMAC show. And you may think
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: it's insure you. You think you may think, oh, well,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: Starnge is off his rocker, what's going on there. I'm
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: just telling you that's just how we do things here.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: So when we got the word here that Barry Weiss
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: who is and she's the new person in charge of CBS,
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: and she got whacked by the New York Times for
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: you know, exposing bias or whatever that's and everybody thinks
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: old she's going to turn CBS conservative. Well, first of all,
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: she's not even a conservative. And second of all, why
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: would you want to turn it conservative? Why not just
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: have a news service that's fair and balanced, just right
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: down the middle. Let the listeners decide why can't we
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: do that? And then there's I think Fox Radio and
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: they've got their news service out there, and you know,
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: we did try to pick up Fox Radio, but they're
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: already on two other stations here in our area. But
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: their mentality is we're Fox News Radio. You come and
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: worship us, you know, And really, I what about affiliate relations?
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: What about taking care of the radio stations that carry
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: your programming? What about that? So I'm not I'm not
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: busting anybody's chops here. I'm just saying that CBS News
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: Radio if they would have and I only know this
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: because leadership at CBS News Radio would call me and
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: we would have these conversations and they're like, ton, we
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: get it, you know, And they said, Tod, We've tried
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: to talk to the executives and they just they don't
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: get it. And they appreciated the fact that I was
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: willing to give CBS News Radio a second chance because
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: I saw that they were trying, but now it's all
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: done and it's all over, and a lot of layoffs
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: today and a lot of good people are losing their jobs,
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: and I just I really hate that. But all that
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: to say, radio is not going away, but until we
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: start getting more. And the problem here are the big
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: corporate owned radio stations. Many of them hate talk radio.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: And I'm just going to tell you this. Nobody else
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: is going to Nobody else is well to talk about this,
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: but I will. When Rush Limbaugh passed away, the let
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: me back up for just a moment. I Heart and Cumulus.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: They could not stand Russia Limbaugh. Behind the scenes, I
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: know they made what they forget what they said in public.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: Behind the scenes. They didn't like his politics and they
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: didn't like his controversy at all. And they had made
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: decisions that when Rush passed, they weren't going to get
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: somebody that had the same sort of a voice that
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: Rush had, or the same sort of opinion that Rush had.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: They wanted somebody they could control. They they didn't want
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: a bombastic talk radio host. They wanted somebody that could
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: they could control and somebody that would not make waves.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: And that's what they got. No, I'm not saying that's
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: bad or good. I'm just telling you they they don't
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: want anybody to upset their financial outpol Kart. By the way,
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: the same thing happened. The same thing happened with Cumulus,
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: and I only know that because we had had talks,
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: you know, and we had conversations about maybe them picking
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: up some of the you know, some of the some
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: of their stations carrying the Ton Stern Show. We were
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: actually on one of their programs on one of their
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: stations in a good sized market, and we were number
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: one in the market. We were actually beating all of
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: the other guys noon to three, and then Cumulus came
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: in and said, nope, got to get rid of Starns.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: We're putting in our replacement, which at the time was Bongino.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: And then the ratings actually dropped. Had nothing to do
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: with Bongino. People were used to our program, and I
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: was talking to one program director. They said they never
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: recovered their numbers after that. You know, that kind of
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: stuff happens. So all that to say, I'm very sad
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: to hear this news. But the answer to fixing what
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: is broken in talk radio is for locally owned radio
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: stations to step up to the plate. And I am
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: so thankful for all of the locally owned radio stations
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: that carry this program. Monday through Friday. We do a
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: best of show on the weekends. We bust our butts
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: for you, every single our whole staff does you guys
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: need something, We're going to be there for you because
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: that's what that's what we do, that's who we are,
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: and that's never going to It's just never going to change,
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: all right, nine oh one two six zero five, nine
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: two six, And I want to try to work in
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: some calls here. Let's go to Jerry and Iowa. Jerry,
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
• 50:45
  Speaker 20: Christian brother Todd. I prayed for you and your show
• 50:49
  Speaker 20: at our prayer meeting last night, and I hope others
• 50:51
  Speaker 20: do too. So I calling in with a quickie and
• 50:53
  Speaker 20: a main point. My quickie is I met Chuck Norris
• 50:57
  Speaker 20: and his wife with my son on Mike Cockaby's night
• 51:01
  Speaker 20: when he won Iowa. I think it was eight and
• 51:04
  Speaker 20: that was a priceless memory and my son has changed
• 51:08
  Speaker 20: today because of that. And the way I kind of
• 51:10
  Speaker 20: did that was it was accidental because I was on
• 51:14
  Speaker 20: our County Central Committee twice and you were talking earlier
• 51:19
  Speaker 20: with your guests from Virginia about how to save America.
• 51:22
  Speaker 20: And for me, it's at the county level. So I
• 51:25
  Speaker 20: have a confessional example of what to do right and
• 51:30
  Speaker 20: what to do wrong. So if if the priest is
• 51:33
  Speaker 20: here to hear my confession, that would be Utah. And
• 51:37
  Speaker 20: I know you're not Catholic, but it's okay. So it's
• 51:41
  Speaker 20: super easy to get elected on the county level because
• 51:44
  Speaker 20: nobody cares or wants to do it, and it's a
• 51:48
  Speaker 20: it's a great ind if you're a Christian. So what's
• 51:52
  Speaker 20: what I did right and what I did wrong? So
• 51:54
  Speaker 20: what I did right was I volunteered, last got elected
• 51:58
  Speaker 20: and I didn't know any thing. All I did was,
• 52:00
  Speaker 20: you know, speak about the Bible and conservative issues and
• 52:04
  Speaker 20: then the vision was controversial amazingly and they were always
• 52:07
  Speaker 20: trying to get me to shut up. But I think
• 52:09
  Speaker 20: I did a lot right and people listened to me.
• 52:11
  Speaker 20: I didn't know what was going on like rules committee
• 52:14
  Speaker 20: and how everything worked, but that shouldn't stop people. Now
• 52:18
  Speaker 20: here's what I did wrong when I got elected twice,
• 52:21
  Speaker 20: and I don't know anybody would do that is it
• 52:25
  Speaker 20: was kind of fun.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get to it. We're running out of time, Jerry.
• 52:30
  Speaker 20: Was I quit early. I quit, and because I was
• 52:33
  Speaker 20: disgusted with rhinos and I was, I sort of gave up.
• 52:39
  Speaker 20: And if I had it to do all over again,
• 52:41
  Speaker 20: what I would do is I would get on Central
• 52:43
  Speaker 20: Committee again on the buddy system, because you've got to
• 52:47
  Speaker 20: have one other conservative or Christian to help you get
• 52:52
  Speaker 20: through all the bologney. And you don't have to know
• 52:55
  Speaker 20: everything that's going on. That'll come in time. And so
• 52:59
  Speaker 20: if you want to do it right, just do it
• 53:01
  Speaker 20: at all, because you can really have a great effect
• 53:03
  Speaker 20: in your county. For me, But the wrong thing was
• 53:06
  Speaker 20: I let myself get scouraged, and I wish I would
• 53:09
  Speaker 20: have stuck it out and continued to bother the forces
• 53:13
  Speaker 20: of Rhino world. And there you have it, Chuck Norris
• 53:18
  Speaker 20: anecdote and how to do it right and wrong on
• 53:23
  Speaker 20: Central Committee. So thank you for opening the lines to
• 53:27
  Speaker 20: people like me, and we did pray for you last night.
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: Well I greatly appreciate that, and Jerry, thank you. Folks.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: We do have to hate to cut it short, but
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: we got to take a break. This is the todd
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: Stone Show, all right. Let's get right back to the
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: fodes here nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: two six Open line Friday. Let's go to Memphis, Tennessee.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: Arnez is listening to us on KWAM. Hi, Arnez, what's
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: on your mind today?
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: Hey?
• 54:00
  Speaker 13: You doing asking all right?
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 54:05
  Speaker 13: Has been along two weeks with this. Look this, I mean,
• 54:12
  Speaker 13: it seems like every time I call in, it just
• 54:14
  Speaker 13: goes bad from it just goes from bad to worse.
• 54:17
  Speaker 13: Where the Republicans come these midterms for starters, this war
• 54:22
  Speaker 13: in Iran, Look, this is probably this is pointless. There
• 54:27
  Speaker 13: there's no other way to say. There's no other way
• 54:29
  Speaker 13: to call it. When you have ardent Trump supporters, and
• 54:32
  Speaker 13: I mean ard and I'm talking about jan sixers who
• 54:36
  Speaker 13: are openly saying and worked in the administration and are
• 54:41
  Speaker 13: openly and publicly saying that there was no imminent threat
• 54:45
  Speaker 13: from Iran. And now we're at war with Iran, where
• 54:50
  Speaker 13: debating booths on the ground, and on top of that,
• 54:54
  Speaker 13: gas is going gas is going up right before the summer,
• 54:58
  Speaker 13: right before vacation season. None of none of this looks
• 55:02
  Speaker 13: good on the party coming in at all. And there's
• 55:07
  Speaker 13: still and there's still losing legislative seats. You know, at
• 55:12
  Speaker 13: the rate of at least one or two a month.
• 55:14
  Speaker 13: Republicans are still retiring at a pay state that I
• 55:18
  Speaker 13: that I have never seen. It's like my question to
• 55:24
  Speaker 13: really any Republicans are you are y'all even shrining to
• 55:28
  Speaker 13: win in November?
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: And let me well, let me let's let's stop there
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: for a second, Artist, because I want to answer it.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: You've You've raised a lot of issues. First of all,
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: Joe Kent was has been on the record for years
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: saying that President Trump needed to take out Iran's missile program. Uh, now,
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, he's changed his tune. Clearly he
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: was facing some big trouble. I mean, there was an
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: FBI investigation over leaking information. And by the way, the
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: report is that he was leaking that information directly to
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson. That's the allegation that's out there. So if
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: that's the case, then he's got big problems. The gas situation. Yeah,
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: that's a problem for Republicans, and I'm not sure that
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: the American people are going to be tolerant of that.
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: And to your other point, Arts, and you raise some
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: great points here. The other point is do Republicans really
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: want to win I don't know the answer to that question,
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: and maybe that's the issue. Ladies and gentlemen, do you
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: think that Republicans are trying to win nationwide? Are you
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: seeing that in your state, in your county and your
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: local community? Nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: two six. Thanks, NZ, I gotta run, We'll be right back, Dylan.
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: I'm just curious if you had to guess what was
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: one of the most popular, like sit down restaurants in America?
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: What would what would you guess? Chili's, Chili's Easy, Chili's.
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: So you're a big Chili's guy, I'm confident on that.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: Would you What about Texas Roadhouse?
• 57:15
  Speaker 19: Yeah?
• 57:15
  Speaker 6: I can accept that one too, if it has.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: To be it is. Are you ready for this? So
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: Olive Garden? A lot of people say Olive Garden.
• 57:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, also good. Yes, they're unlimited. Breadsticks are unlimited because
• 57:27
  Speaker 6: you can't physically eat sixty three I've tried.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: Oh what about the salad is? Are they do they
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: still do the bottomless salad bowl?
• 57:34
  Speaker 6: I think so that's not as appealing. Do you ever
• 57:37
  Speaker 6: go to Olive Garden and ask I want, I want
• 57:39
  Speaker 6: all of your salad?
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: Just keep it covered, keep that lettuce covet.
• 57:43
  Speaker 6: They have plenty. I'm sure, don't.
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: Be skippy on the red onion. So it turns out
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: through that that for that olive garden. And look, I
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: was a big Red Lobster guy back in the day.
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: And I know this was like a sin in New
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: York City. You're never sister to go to chain restaurants
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: in New York City, But I would occasionally go to
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: the Red Lobster in Times Square.
• 58:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, for the biscuits alone. Yes, probably I probably had.
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: Gone, and uh got to tell you, And this is
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: really a heinous sin in New York City, home of
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: the best Italian food in America. You know where I
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: would go? Buka to Beppo, Buca Depeppo. Has anybody you've
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: never been to Buka to Beppo?
• 58:23
  Speaker 6: I don't think so.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: Ask to ask Helen, Helen, have you been to Buka
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: to Beppo?
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: No?
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: You said no? All right, what about Ian Ian Digital
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: Digital guy.
• 58:32
  Speaker 6: Ian the Oh, he said yes, he's been, he's been.
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: To ask if he got to sit at the Pope's table.
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: Did you get to sit at the Poststown No he hasn't. Okay, well,
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: you haven't lived till you've been able to sit at
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: the pope's table.
• 58:44
  Speaker 6: This is a This is interesting that you're bringing this up.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: So Buka to Beppo. They they are home to like
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: these massive, family style Italian meals and they have like
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: the meat balls are about the size of a ripe
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: cantalope and they're delicious. But it's like Italian themed. And
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: I had no idea it was like a chain restaurant.
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: I thought this was like an exclusive, Like wow, Buka
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: to Beppo And I was telling you all my friends,
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I've been to this exclusive Italian restaurant. I
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: had an incredible experience. I thought I was in the
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: on the side of the Godfather movie. They said, Tom,
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: where did you go Buka to Beppo?
• 59:23
  Speaker 21: Oh?
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we got one here in Houston. We got one
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: here in Atlanta.
• 59:28
  Speaker 6: I remember this now because of the Pope room.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: They got the Pope room. So you sit at the
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: table and the Pope's head is in the middle of
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: the table and that's where they put the pizzas if you.
• 59:37
  Speaker 6: Want to order the pizza and he watches you eat.
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: It's a little off putting, yeah, but there's it's a
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: lot of fun and I just love it. It's great food.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: And you get a lot of it and it's just delicious.
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: But anyway, the number one, the number one top ranked
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: largest casual dining chain in America, Texas Roadhouse. And there's
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: a story out of Maryland where this will impact OURCBM
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: listeners in Baltimore. There is legislation underway that could end
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: up causing big problems for Texas Roadhouse. The reason why
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: is that lawmakers are considering something called the Living Wage
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: Act for All and if this is successful, the state's
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: minimum wage would rise to twenty five dollars an hour.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: Right now, it's fifteen dollars an hour, but they want
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: to raise the minimum wage to twenty five dollars an hour.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: And the servers at places like Texas Roadhouse are saying
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: this is not a good idea because they're afraid that
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: it would actually hurt tips. And another part of the
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: plan is to actually take away the tipped wage system.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: Worker like restaurant servers and bartenders typically make a pretty small,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: meager what hourly wage, but they bring in a lot
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: more money. They're bringing the cash from the tips, and
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: of course, thanks to President Donald J. Trump, there's no
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: tax on the tips. One worker saying this is going
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: to hurt us a lot. It would not only hurt
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: the servers and the bartenders, but also restaurants in general.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: Now under the current tipping system, and this is interesting.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: This is according to the Restaurant Association of Maryland, under
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: the current tipping system, the average server, when they sort
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: of balance it all out, ends up earning about twenty
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: seven dollars an hour, which is more than the twenty
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: five dollars an hour which would be mandatory. And a
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: lot of the people in the restaurant industry are really
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: concerned about this. Most workers in Maryland get paid fifteen
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: dollars an hour. The base wage for tipped employees stands
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: at three sixty three an hour. Tipped employees have made
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: it abundantly clear the current tipping system is not broken
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: and does not need to be changed. So the people
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: that the Democrats say they actually want to help are
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: pushing them back and saying we don't need any help.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: We're good, we're just fine. So there you have it,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. Minimum wage increases from across the states
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: New York seventeen dollars an hour, Upstate at sixteen dollars
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: an hour, fourteen dollars an hour in Alaska nineteen twenty
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: eight is going to rise to twenty five dollars an
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: hour in California for healthcare workers. So there you go.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the phone lines nine oh
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six. I don't
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: think it's interesting though, that the restaurant servers the ones
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: who and if you listen to the Democrats, they're impoverished.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: But these servers are saying, no, actually, everything's working on.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: Just find just stay out of our lives. Let's go
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: to Ohio. Harold is on the line. Hi, Harold, what's
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: on your mind today?
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 19: Yeah, Todd, I'm a Baptist pastor and I've been listening
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 19: about Governor Huckabee. And I don't think any Christians ought
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 19: to go to a restaurant where they know the owners
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 19: and servers are part of that LGBT thing. For this reason,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 19: in Leviticus chapter eighteen, verse twenty two, God says that sodomites,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 19: that same sex people, are an abomination to him, an
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 19: abomination Todd has as sinned is so bad it makes
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 19: God sick in the stomach. And then in Dromans chapter
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 19: one in.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 17: The Bible, that's a new test.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 19: But God tells you what he thinks about same sex
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 19: affairs right there in verse eighteen, Chapter one, verse eighteen,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 19: I think thirty one. And so you know, God hates it.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 19: And there's no way in the world that Christians should
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 19: ever be talked into condoning something God calls the abomination. Plus,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 19: I would not feel safe eating anything that people that
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 19: were in that lifestyle handled, because you know that it's
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 19: an unsanitary lifestyle to the max. And if they don't
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 19: like you because you're not woke, because you're a God
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 19: fearing Christians, there's no telling what they'll do to the
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 19: food you eat or drink. That's all I want to say.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: I think they wear gloves.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 19: Well they still you know they can do I'm talking
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 19: about on purpose.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 4: Not.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: I gotcha.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: Look, that's my biggest concern over all of this is
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: and which is why again, I do not go out
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: to eat a lot, and if I do, I'm going
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: to a place where I know the owners and I
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: know the servers, because I would be afraid of one
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: of these these radical leftists doing something to my food
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: or putting something into my food that I would have
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: a big problem, you know, as I explained, you know,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: when we got the the lip bomb to try out,
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: we made Dylan go first. It's just a sure everything.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 19: Right on that lifestyle. There's no line they won't cross
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 19: if they want to. You know.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know, no, no, no, no, no no, I don't
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: know about that. But I will say that from a
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: political ideology, those people are insane and I would not
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: put anything past one of those flaming Democrats to pull
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: something life out off. Harold, Harold, I got a run.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: But thank you for the call. Dylan. How are you feeling,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: by the way, Okay, I just want to double check.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 6: Lips are still tingling. Actually I have reapplied.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: So what do you call it?
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 16: Is it?
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: Because I said I shmeared my lips and they're like, no,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: that's probably not the right word to You.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 6: Don't know the term covered with lip bom?
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 6: How do you have?
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: What is the lip bo?
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 15: Yes?
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: Maybe a lady will let us know, one of our
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: lady listeners.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 6: That's sad we should know because lipbom is universal. It
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 6: doesn't have to be just for the ladies.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: Fair enough, that's true.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, if you're endorsing it, you're like the
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 6: prime guy.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: That's right, I am. I am going to be. By
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: the way, we're working on getting Afroman on the show.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 6: Oh yes, please please, Oh my gosh, I need him
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 6: to like rap a verse too. Yeah.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: I want some of that limit. I want to hear
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: the Lemon pound Cake song, maybe perform live on air. Wow,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: that story, what a what an incredible story that is,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: because again, pardon me, I mean, here's a poor guy
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: just minding his own business and the cops come in,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: they destroy his house. There's no charges filed, he didn't
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: do anything wrong, and he's wanting he's wanting somebody to
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: put the bill here, and so he writes the song
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: and he the cops sue him. Did you see the
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: female cops. She was really tore up about it.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 6: She was very upset.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure cops are allowed to cry like that.

  Speaker 2: i want to play this, audio you, Know, richard brought
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: Up John. Thune and this is the PROBLEM i had
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: With John. Thune i'm not sure where his mind is right,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: now because he, knows he knows exactly what The democrats
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: are are going to, do and yet he's not taking
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: full advantage of. That, now take a listen To John
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: thune cut.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 22: Seven, LOOK i don't disagree that there is a possibility
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 22: if The democrats ever get The, house The, senate in
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 22: The White, house get unified control of the, government they
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 22: might try to do.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: THAT i don't think we know. That we don't know
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: the answer to. That it's.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 22: Hypothetical but WHAT i will tell you is there are
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 22: not the votes to nuke the filibuster in The United
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 22: States senate, today AND i, think frankly, too for a
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 22: lot of. Reasons build it has Protected republicans through the
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 22: years conservative principles and priorities by requiring a supermajority to
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 22: get things done in The United States. Senate that's the
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 22: way The founders designed. It you can argue that these
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 22: are different, times and maybe they, are but The founders
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 22: decided to divide power and the article on a branch
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 22: of the government between The house and The, senate and
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 22: they made The senate this way for a particular, reason
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 22: and that is to require a super majority to get things,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 22: done which means that the minority has a voice in our.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 22: Government so you, know we're debating the philosophy of that right.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 22: Now but the practical reality, is and this is WHAT
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 22: i keep coming back, to is there aren't anywhere close
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 22: to the votes to nuke the legislative filibuster.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: In The United States senate.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 15: Today that's the reality THAT i have to deal.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 13: With all.
• 1:11:45

  Speaker 3: Johnson, chase once, again thank you so much for joining.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 25: Me, yeah, man thank you so.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 3: MUCH i appreciate.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 15: You so when the roster numbers came out beginning of the,
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 15: season mid number change, one number two last year for The.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 21: Panthers this year we're number ninety, NINE i just kind
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 21: of wanted to ask, you you know what the backstory
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 21: behind the number.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 3: Is what was the process of do you change in the,
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 3: number and just get your general thoughts about.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 25: That, Yeah so the backstory has everything to do With
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 25: jesus leaving the ninety nine to find the. ONE i
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 25: was trying to find any other way to share the,
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 25: gospel and ninety nine came to my. Mind of a
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 25: lot of people will ask that's a random. Number it's
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 25: a unique, number and not a lot of people wear.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 25: It SO i chose that because there's there's two parables
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 25: in The bible Where jesus is talking to his disciples
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 25: and he gives a story of a man who has
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 25: ninety nine. Sheep he leaves those ninety nine righteous sheep
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 25: to find that one loss sheep that went, away and
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 25: he finds more joy in finding that one loss sheep
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 25: that came back home than the ninety nine that, remained, right,
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 25: yous that's the, gospel right that we are all, sinners
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 25: we are dead in our sin And Jesus christ left
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 25: the ninety nine went to the crawl. Humbly he became
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 25: a slave for. Us though he Was, god he did
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 25: not take up equality With god as something that clean
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 25: to and he died on.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 15: The cross for our.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 25: Sins and so that's like the whole backstory is ninety
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 25: nine represents our calling As christians to go out and
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 25: proclaim the gospel to the lost ones and the gospel
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 25: That christ went to the cross and died for.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 21: Us so you guys would go over scriptures for every,
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 21: Game AND i saw a clip with you guys last,
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 21: year right before he gets out change and going through the.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 15: Scripture you guys still do that, Today and, like how
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 15: much does that.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 21: Help you guys get, prepared your minds centered on the
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 21: game when you.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 15: Guys are going through.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 25: Scriptures i'm not going to take any credit for, that
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 25: because obviously it's all The, lord But. Trey that's Something
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 25: trey started BEFORE i got, here and just kind of
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 25: Something i've taken from. Him it's just a way for
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 25: before the, games we share a verse and kind of
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 25: break it down within thirty seconds like, you like you
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 25: had just, mentioned just a way to just remind all
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 25: of us and the guys just, hey we're doing it
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 25: for something bigger than. Ourselves we're doing it for The lord,
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 25: first but then we're doing it for The perston to
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 25: the right and, left right and. Averse and we would
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 25: always talk about Is john fifteen thirteen That jesus says
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 25: there is no greater love than this than the lay
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 25: down one's life for one's. Friend and if we're not
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 25: willing to lay down our life for our brother that's
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 25: beside us on the court or even off the, court
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 25: and then we're not being true.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 6: Servants and the only way to.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: Win is to be a. Servant you know what really
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: strikes me about, That parker is that these, GUYS i,
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: mean that is a that is a real faith right.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: There you know that he's able to share AND i
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: know that you're you're a, believer you're A christian. Man

• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: being played? Out you know in college? BASKETBALL i what one.

  Speaker 21: on he took TO x yesterday after their game and
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 21: saying that this team is truly built On john fifteen
• 1:24:44

• 1:24:48
  Speaker 21: Season during the, game he Has acts twenty twenty four

  Speaker 12: It.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: Mike you you raise a very fair point, here and

• 1:43:05
  Speaker 2: reporting From Fox News, channel not JUST, cbs not just THE,
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 2: bbc But Fox news saying that sources are telling them
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: THE fbi investigation Into kent had been underway four weeks
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 2: before his. Departure and the whole point of this is
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 2: that he knew he was under, investigation or got win
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 2: that he was under, investigation and decided to pull the
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 2: parachute and get out so that he could frame the
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 2: investigation as he was coming under attack for not backing the.
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 2: Administration and whether or not you want to believe, that you,
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: know we shall. See but if this guy who, was
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 2: by the, way not allowed to go into briefings, anymore
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 2: and my whole point, was he should have been fired
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 2: on the. Spot he should not have been allowed to.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 2: Resign if somebody is leaking classified, intelligence they need to
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 2: get the heave ho. Immediately well just look at.
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 9: The information that's been, released and look the fact that
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 9: he was under investigation without his, knowledge and there's no
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 9: proof that he knew, it and to claim that he
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 9: knew and that's why he, left that Doesn't that doesn't drive.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 9: Will people are, Listening we're paying. Attention we want people
