• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Well, lie from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: It's America's favorite gun, total Bible clinging, deplorable America.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: That's us that.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: This American.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Todd starts well, yea, well, hello everybody, Welcome, Happy hump
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Day to you America, wherever you might be. This is
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: the Todd Strange Radio Program. And we have got a
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: lot of ground to cover today, including and this crazy
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: hearing yesterday involving the Smithsonian, and just a few, just
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: a few takeaways from what happened yesterday. By the way,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: our telephone number nine oh one two six zero five
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: nine two six. That's nine one two six zero five
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: nine two six if you plan on calling in today.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: But I've I've got a little be in my bonnet
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: about about this and wanted to hear your take on it.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: So look, our good buddy, Congressman Tim Burchant from East Tennessee.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: He's been holding these these doze. He's a chairman of
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: the DOGE, is a subcommittee on DOGE, and they're looking
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: at the Smithsonian and the museums of the Smithsonian. A
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: lot of people think the Smithsonian is just one museum.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: It's not. It's a lot of museums, all funded by
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: your tax dollars, by the way, and I'll get to
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: that in just a moment. So anyway, yesterday there was
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: hearing the lady in charge of the the Museum of
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: American History was taken to the woodshed by Republicans and
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: she was asked all sorts of questions and we got
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of audio from this, and she was asked
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: all sorts of questions. We learned, for example, that one
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Mickey Mouse is apparently well racist, and she said, well, no,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: not really racist. But it turns out that they really
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: do believe that Mickey Mouse is racist. They believe that
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: he is an example of black face, which is sort
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: of weird because most of Mickey's face is white. It's
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the ears, so are his ears are black? I just
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: always thought he was a mouse. I didn't think he
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: was like a clan member. I didn't think he was
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: like a clan mouse. But apparently who do you. So anyway,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: they're saying that Mickey Mouse is racist, and also being
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: polite is racist, and all sorts of stuff. Just it
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: goes on and on and on, this whole thing of
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: radical you know, white supremacy, the whole nine yards, and uh,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: this is all happening inside the museums, and it's it's
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: really a source of frustration, I think for a lot
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: of people, because you know, you take your kids, you
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: take the wife and the kids, and you go to
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: the museums and you you think you're actually looking at
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: American history, when in fact you are. You're you're getting
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: this rather skewed, skewed view of what American history is
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: all about. So I thought, Brandon Gil, I like this guy.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Brandon Gill is the son of law of Genesh Jasuse.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: He's a congressman from from Texas, and he's he's a
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: smooth operator. He's like he's a likable version of Ted
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Cruz and he's just the guy is just he's got
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: it together. So anyway, here he is talking about Mickey Mouse.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Cut eighteen.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Please, it's mouse racist.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Mickey Mouse is not racist.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: It's not racist.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: According to the Smithsonian Institution, one of your exhibits referenced
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: to Mickey Mouse is representing quote vestiges of long standing
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: traditions of blackface minstrelsy. Would you describe that as racist?
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: No, The historical trajectory of the origins of Mickey Mouse
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: tied directly to.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: Mickey Mouse is rooted in racist and is that your testimony?
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: Or it's rooted in menstrelly minstrels. You know, a piece
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: of blackface minstrelsy is racist, and.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: It's certain on obvious racial overtones that have been well documented.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: I think that that's problematic that Mickey Mouse also has
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: those racial overtones.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: It's not for me to determine what's problematic. It's determined
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: to me what's accurate.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Is that right?
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: The voice you heard there, the female voice Antha Hertig,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: the director of the Smithsonians National Museum of American History,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: and you heard her say Mickey Mouse, Mickey Mouse racist.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: That is just goofy ladies and gentlemen, go fee, I say,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: go fe. Anyway, it gets worse, and he called her
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: out on this whole thing of there's a whole paper
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: and you can download it on the Smithsonian's website about
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: all the things that are are examples of white supremacy
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: forec for example, objectivity is a form of racism. And
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: then it turns out being polite is a form of
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: racism as well. Cut nineteen please and is it.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Important to be polite? Excuse me, sir, Is it important
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: to be polite? Yes, sir. It's also interesting.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Because the same mass Action Toolkit that your organization has
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: been promoting references politeness as a defining characteristic of white
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: supremacy culture. Ma'am, are you a white supremacist? No, sir,
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: you're not. Can you help me square why your organization
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: says that being polite is part of being a white supremacist.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: I'm not exactly familiar with that passage of the mass
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Action Toolkit, which.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: Is not I.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: Don't I said, I just read you the passage from it.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: The woman's completely born. But they're they're they've got all
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: of this and they're promoting all of this woke ideology
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: at the Smithsonian Museums. And by the way, it's also
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: in the in the Smithsonian bookstore. This is Congressman Michael Cloud,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: and he was he was asking questions about what books
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: were actually being sold at the Smithsonian, because again, it's
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: about American history, so you would think that the books
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: they sold would well, I don't know, be about American history, right, well,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: not necessarily take a listen.
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: What would you say is a most influential book in
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: American history?
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: So if I may go back to your second ques.
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: What would you say is most influential booky, I go
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: back to your second question, and you can answer the
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: one I just asked you.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Well, I you know, as a historian, it's probably hard
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: to choose which is the most influential book in the
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: United States history. But I can tell you what's the
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: most influential document, and that is the Declaration of Independence,
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: which appears in different ways five times.
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: The Founder's quoted one book more than any other book.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: The founders were very real read and as you know,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: Thomas Jefferson's library became the core of the life.
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: Yes, and that book would have been the Bible. Secondly
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: would have been common Sense by Thomas Pain. I went
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: to the bookstore. I couldn't find common Sense. In the bookstore.
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: I did find, you know, these books. Here's George de
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: Kay it rhymes with the Kay, a book in which
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: he talks about, you know, one young man lustening after another.
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: I'm not sure why this is in our American History
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: Museum and the kids section mind you Uh, that's that's
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: you think is important to be having in the American
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: History Museum.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: So George Takai, as you know, the actor from Star Trek,
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: was incarcerated during World War Two as the result of
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: Executive Order nine zero, say You're and his children's book,
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: I think is a beautiful.
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: Made the decision put that in there. But not common sense.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a it's a great question. I think the
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: irony was lost on everyone that it turns out there
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: is literally no common sense in the Smithsonian Museums. It's
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: just beyond me. And it goes on and auto all.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: We've got all of this this audio from from the
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: from the hearings, and it was terrific. It was riveting.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: It was must watch TV or must listen to radio.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: It was powerful. I would give it. I don't know,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Dylan and I haven't gotten on Rotten Tomatoes, but I
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: would give it a good ranking over there, like a
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: chance is that good? I don't know, it's pretty high.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I never can't figure out how Rotten Tomatoes works or
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: why it's good to have a higher rating on a
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Rotten Tomato.
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: It's like the few critics that get to actually do
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: the rating.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's got it's like up there. This is
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: this was like Odyssey level stuff. But I got a problem,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: and this is this is what bothers me, folks, And
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It could be the heat. It was
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: we had one hundred and thirteen degree heat index in
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Memphis yesterday, So it could very well be that I'm
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: just in a I don't know what bad mood because
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: it's so hot and my air conditioning went out again.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's maybe that's the issue, or maybe I have
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: a legitimate beef. And here it is. Why are we
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: doing these hearings? Why are we doing any of the this?
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Why are we wasting our taxpayer money? We have freaking
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: potholes as big as buicks in Memphis. Why aren't we
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: spending our money on things that actually matter? Why in
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: the world are we holding these hearings? Because we knew
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: all of this back in twenty twenty five, because President
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Trump issued an executive order about all of this. The
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: President alerted us to the wokeness of the Smithsonian. So, look,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I appreciate Congressman Tim Burch, and I really do, and
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I appreciate his heart is in the right place and
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: this man actually wants to do something. But the reality
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: is the rest of Congress doesn't want to do deadly
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: squat and not necessarily in that order squat diddly, Okay,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: that sounds weird, deadly squat. How many times have we
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: been down this road, ladies and gentlemen, I mean how
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: many times again? When you when you look at what
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Congress is doing, and all they're doing is squandering our
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: money because they want the sound bites, they want the clips.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: They know that we're going to play these things on
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: the radio. We're going to talk about it on the radio.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: They know that people are going to talk about it
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: on TV. But we've known all of this for years.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: My question is I want to know what Congress is
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: going to do to fix all of this. By the way,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: it's a Republican controlled Congress.
• 11:26
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I know that Congress, the Republicans don't want to do
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: big things like, I don't know, make sure that our
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: elections are safe and secure. I know they don't want
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: to do that kind of stuff. But it seems to
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: me they should all be able to agree that our
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: tax money is being squandered by the Smithsonian. We should
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: all be disgusted every single thing that was said yesterday.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: We should all be disgusted by We should be disgusted
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: that they think Mickey Mouse, one of our most beloved cards,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: un characters. An Americana A slice of Americana is some
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: sort of like evil white supremacist. We should definitely, definitely
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: be outraged over the idea that being polite is a
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: form of white supremacist. I guess, Dlan, this is why
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: there are all the rampages in writing at Popeyes, right,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, hello, what's even worse?
• 12:30
  Speaker 10: Is?
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: I mean?
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I'm god forbid, I'm surprised the riots haven't happened at
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Chick fil A. Here's your order, ma'am? Okay, great? Thanks,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: my pleasure? What you say to me? What my pleasure?
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: How dare you you racist? And the next thing you know,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: chicken nuggets are flying all over the place. We should
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: all be outraged to that. It does explain a lot, though,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: and we should be enraged that children would be exposed
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: to books showing pictures of men lusting after each other
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: in the bookstore at the Smithsonian. What in the name
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: of Millard Fillmore is going on down there? That's what
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I want to know. But here's the deal. Congress, they've
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: got the power. They've got the power to fix it.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Congress has all the power. You see, President Trump can't
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: go in and completely defund the Smithsonian Museums. No, no, no,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: that power rests solely and exclusively with the United States Congress, which,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, last time I checked, unless somebody else
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: has kicked the bucket, is still controlled by the Republican,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: the Grand All Party. They control everything. So why haven't
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: they defunded the Smithsonian? I'm in all seriousness, why has
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: that not happened? Are you ready for this? They get
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: more than one billion dollars one billion dollars of your
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: tax money, that's how much these people get. Now, Congress
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: could have taken action last year, right if they were
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: really serious about it. But they're not serious about it.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: And I think everybody knows that. But it's outrageous, ladies
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen. We have a do nothing Congress right now.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: And I say that because they have the power to
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: do something, they would rather hold the hearings. We are
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: still waiting for Russia, Russia, Russia to be prosecuted. Nothing's
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: happened there, not a single thing. And I don't think
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: it is. I honestly, I just don't think it is.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: So anyway, yeah, let's you know what, let's defund somebody
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: make the motion. Let's defund the Smithsonian. Tell them if
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: they want to do all this wokee garbage, they can
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: do it on their own dime, but the American taxpayers
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: are not. We're not gonna put up with it anymore.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: It's just outrageous, unbelievab Dylan, I got to have a doctor.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: I usually I save my Pepper for a little bit
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: later on in the in the show.
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: Not the midday, doctor Pepper. You need the morning.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: Oh you're you're literally wow.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that bad of it.
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: That was very satisfying.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I'll say it may be a four doctor Pepper day.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I'm just telling you so, ladies and gentlemen, I'm curious
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: here are you. Are you okay with the Republicans just
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: holding the hearings for the sake of holding hearings, or
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: do you actually want to see him do something about
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: all of this? Nine oh one two six zero five
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: nine two six or a telephone number that's nine oh
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six. I'm going
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: to dream by doctor Pepper.
• 15:37
  Speaker 11: Now, every generation must decide whether it will recognize deceit
• 15:42
  Speaker 11: before it becomes normal. This weekend Salem News Channels America
• 15:47
  Speaker 11: two fifty film series presents the Fall of Deceit, a
• 15:51
  Speaker 11: sobering documentary on government overreach, faith under pressure, and the
• 15:56
  Speaker 11: cost of abandoning truth. Watch Saturday and Sunday at seventy
• 16:01
  Speaker 11: m Eastern on Salem News Channel.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: All right, let's get right to the phones here. Nine
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. Honestly,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: it angers me what the Democrats have done to our
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: beautiful museums, turning all turning all of our our museums
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: and our parks everything into some sort of bastion of wokeness.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: It's disgusting. Let's go to Pasadena, Texas. Dan, listening to
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: us on Patriot Talk nine to twenty, Dan, what's on
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: your mind?
• 16:45
  Speaker 12: I think you shot on a hot topic and it's
• 16:48
  Speaker 12: got me thinking. And one of the things I'm thinking
• 16:51
  Speaker 12: is a comparison between George Decas Brook and Thomas Payn's
• 16:55
  Speaker 12: Brook Common six. And as you mentioned, the library no longer,
• 17:01
  Speaker 12: at least currently not saying Thomas Paine's book, but it
• 17:04
  Speaker 12: is George to Kais. So I'm wondering how sales of
• 17:10
  Speaker 12: Takai's Brook are going with the library. Is it throwing
• 17:13
  Speaker 12: off the shelf? Are they having trouble keeping it in stock.
• 17:16
  Speaker 12: And back when Thomas Paine's book was in the Smithsonian Library,
• 17:21
  Speaker 12: and I'm sure it was at one point, what are
• 17:24
  Speaker 12: the sales numbers for that book? So comparing those two
• 17:28
  Speaker 12: books in terms of tyrol they sell, which is a
• 17:31
  Speaker 12: reflection of the public interest in each book, I would
• 17:35
  Speaker 12: think that Thomas pain tyas pain would come out on
• 17:38
  Speaker 12: top with American people. So why would the library choose
• 17:42
  Speaker 12: to have a book in there that probably very few
• 17:46
  Speaker 12: people are interested in buying other than a political motive.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: You know, it's a great point you're raising, Dan, because
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: it is they're shoving a political agenda down the throats
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: of children and also moms and dad's trying to normalize
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: a lot of behaviors out there, and it's it's just
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: not right. If you want to do that at a bookstore, great,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: knock yourself out, but you do not use the taxpayer's
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: money to do that kind of stuff. And again, what
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: does this have to do with American history? That's what
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to understand.
• 18:19
  Speaker 13: Yeah, because I mean, if she wanted to emphasize what
• 18:24
  Speaker 13: happened to Japanese Americans and the World War two, we're
• 18:27
  Speaker 13: in President at Roosevelt better than to be in camps.
• 18:31
  Speaker 13: I'm sure there are what a lot of other books,
• 18:34
  Speaker 13: uh that probably make a some some sort of point
• 18:39
  Speaker 13: much better than George Sakhai's book. Yeah, that's written by
• 18:42
  Speaker 13: historians or whatever.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: So all right, Dan, I got a scaatle my friend,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: But I think you got your point there. Nine oh
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six. They move
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: on to shut down the Smithsonian altogether save us some
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: tax money. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: two six. We have some breaking news coming back. This
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: is the Todd Sterns Show. All right, some weird news
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: coming out of Washington, d C. This breaking news I
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: was telling you about. There are two different stories here.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: One of them is good, the other is not good.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: We'll start with a not good first. Four Republican lawmakers
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: joined Democrats to stop President Trump from removing transgender people
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: from the military. Now we've got the names of the lawmakers,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: all of the intel on Todd Sterns dot com. I
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: encourage you to go to our website and read the story.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: One of the final vote to twelve to two seventeen.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: So what they were going to do is that we're
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: going to insert an amendment into the National Defense Authorization Act,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: and it would have banned it would have basically codified
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: President Trump's executs orders. Remember something I said early on
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: when President Trump was just about every single day signing
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: just dozens and dozens of executive orders. Those are fantastic,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: But the problem is when the president leaves office, so
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: do all those executive orders. They can immediately be undone
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: by the new president. So that's why it's so vitally
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: important for Congress to step in, the Republican controlled Congress
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: to step in and follow through by codifying those executive orders.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: And that's what Republicans were trying to do with this
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: ban on transgender people in the military. And you had
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: four Republicans Brian Fitzpatrick out of Pennsylvania, Kimberly King Hines
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: out of the Northern Mariana Islands, Congress from Michael Laughter
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: out of New York, and James moylan out of Guam.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: And they were the four that sided with all the
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Democrats to preserve transgenderism in the military. You know, one
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: of the things I wrote about, there's a chapter in
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: the book, Oh the Golden Age, how Trump saved America
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: and those of you watching us. I've got a copy
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: of it right here in my hands, and one of
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: the things I do, I'm flipping over to the table
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: of contents. Here we have an entire chapter. I have
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: an entire champter in the book on How Trump Saved
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: the Military, chapter thirteen. And it truly is amazing how
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: the President was able to was able to select Pete
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Hegseth as the warst secretary. It was for such a
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: time as this moment, and God bless the President for
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: picking hag Seth. As a matter of fact, I want
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: to read this to you. This is the first graph
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: and this ties directly in with what just happened. President
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseeth promise. This is
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: from chapter thirteen in the Golden Age, How Trump Saved America,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Page one, third nine. President Trump and Secretary of warpedeg
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Seth promised on the campaign trail that they would declare
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: war on woke generals who turned the greatest fighting force
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: on the planet into a bunch of pronoun confused social
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: justice warriors. And I'm happy to announce they've delivered on
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: that promise. The President announced during during commitment exercises at
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: West Point on May twenty fourth, twenty twenty five, that
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: he had officially banned drag shows critical race theory and
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: transgenderism within the US military. I'm not going to read
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: any further. You'll have to buy the book to read
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: what outside wrote. It's a great chapter in the book.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: But the point is that, yes, the president can do that,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: but it's only temporary because if the Democrats went election
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty eight, all of that goes away, which
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: again it's that's why it's so vitally important for the
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: congressional Republicans to get their butts and gear, get off
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: your blessed assurance and get to work. So anyway, we've
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: got the names of the lawmakers. If you want to
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: reach out to them, you can do that. Todd Stearns
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: dot com is where that information is located. So there
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: was something else that happened on Capitol Hill yesterday, and
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: this happened in the Senate. And very rarely do I
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: find myself somewhat agreeing with Democrats, But ladies and gentlemen,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: yesterday Pete Hagsth came hat in hand and said that
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: we need hundreds of millions of more dollars, really billions
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: of dollars to continue to fight the war in Iran.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: And the reporting is that things are not going as
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: well as we thought because they're not telling us how
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: much equipment's been destroyed and all of that, which is
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: going to cost more money to replace. So what they're
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: saying is that we need more money, but it's probably
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: going to be more money than that. So hagg Sev,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: I thought did a great job. I'm going to get
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: to the part where I agree with the with the
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Democrats on one thing, and I'm going to get to
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: that in a minute, but I want to play this
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: audio from Pete Hegseev confronting Senator Gary Peters. This guy's
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: a radical Democrat, got number twenty.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: It's happening. We have political leadership.
• 24:29
  Speaker 14: You you don't have a strategy, You don't have a
• 24:31
  Speaker 14: long term plan to actually win this war.
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: Win the war.
• 24:35
  Speaker 14: The men and women are going to be able to
• 24:36
  Speaker 14: do it, but they need to have leadership.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Quinn, will leader, show leader? When will you show?
• 24:41
  Speaker 15: Will you show some leadership and stand up your fellow
• 24:43
  Speaker 15: Democrats who won't fund the troops, who stand and play
• 24:45
  Speaker 15: partisan politics. Why you don't give us the money. You
• 24:48
  Speaker 15: want to stand up here and talk about the troops.
• 24:50
  Speaker 15: You won't show any political courage to actually fund our
• 24:52
  Speaker 15: department because you have Trump Trump arrangement syndrome and can't
• 24:56
  Speaker 15: actually commit to anything meaningful.
• 24:58
  Speaker 14: So I put this on you, Senator hes Off. You
• 25:00
  Speaker 14: have trillions, you have over a trillion dollars. You're asking
• 25:03
  Speaker 14: for one and a half trillion dollars. It's not a
• 25:06
  Speaker 14: question of money, it's a question of leadership and understanding
• 25:10
  Speaker 14: what it takes to actually win politically.
• 25:12
  Speaker 15: Cowardice of Democrats who won't fund the troops.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Wow, good for you, Hank Sev No, and he's right,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: these democrats are not. Look, we're in a war. We
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: got to make sure that our fighting men and women
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: have every single resource they need. Right, they can not
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: want for anything. They need the best of the best,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: and that comes that goes all the way down to
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: the food they eat, to whatever equipment they need. We
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: should we should provide that for them. Yes, there's a
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: butt coming, but there is a broader question here. What
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: are we doing over there? In all seriousness, what are
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: we doing over there? Because I heard the testimony and
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: I didn't hear that question, answered, I I genuinely am
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: very curious what are we doing over there, what is
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: the end game? And what does victory look like for us?
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: And it's it concerns me that we are slow walking
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: ourselves into what could be one of these forever wars.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: And the President put out a statement yesterday saying, well, look,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: this has only been four months. That's true, but they
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: told us it was only sopposed to be six weeks.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Gas prices are going back up again, and I know
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: there are there are the die hard, die hard MAGA folks,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: and I'd like to think of myself as a diehard
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: mag of person, But I don't like paying higher price
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: for gas. But I'm being told by the diehards that
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: I have a I have a patriotic duty to suck
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: it up and celebrate the fact that I'm paying more
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: for gasoline. I find that to be what is the colonicuial?
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: That's that's absurd, that's nuts. I don't want to pay
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: more for gas vote either, and you know it. So anyway,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: the Democrats really went after hegseeth. And here's the thing.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: The Democrats are not wrong and the questions they were
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: asking cut twenty three. This is Senator John Osoff from Georgia.
• 27:17
  Speaker 16: Three weeks later, you declared victory that was now nearly
• 27:21
  Speaker 16: four months ago, three weeks after you'd already said Iran's
• 27:27
  Speaker 16: military was destroyed and combat ineffective. You said, quote Operation
• 27:31
  Speaker 16: Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory. You said
• 27:35
  Speaker 16: Iran's military had been rendered quote combat ineffective for years
• 27:39
  Speaker 16: to come, and you stated we had quote achieved every
• 27:43
  Speaker 16: single objective. Were those accurate statements?
• 27:47
  Speaker 15: It certainly was on behalf of the men and women
• 27:49
  Speaker 15: in uniform, a historic military victory over Iran.
• 27:52
  Speaker 16: Had Iran's been rendered quote combat ineffective for years to come?
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: That you made four months ago, they.
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: Had one hundred and six the naval ves.
• 28:03
  Speaker 15: Air Force said four months they don't have a defense
• 28:07
  Speaker 15: industrial base. Excuse describe to me a country that doesn't
• 28:09
  Speaker 15: have an air force, a navy, or a defense industrial.
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: Base, and I would describe to you.
• 28:13
  Speaker 15: A company the country that does not have an effective
• 28:15
  Speaker 15: secretary use state missiles.
• 28:17
  Speaker 16: Mister secretary, you stated in this four months ago Iran's
• 28:21
  Speaker 16: military had been rendered quote combat ineffective for years to come.
• 28:26
  Speaker 16: Has Iran's military been for the last four months combat ineffective.
• 28:31
  Speaker 15: It's been set back not just years, but likely decades.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: But that's not what they said. And they also said
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: that we had destroyed And again this is look, you
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: can support the administration here, but when the administration comes
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: out and says this has been destroyed, then you better
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: make sure that this has been destroyed. We were under
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: the impression this war had already been one. Now here
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: is Senator Kristen Jillibrand from New York got twenty two.
• 29:03
  Speaker 10: Unpopular and unauthorized war abroad is a higher priority to
• 29:07
  Speaker 10: this administration than their ability to feed their families and
• 29:11
  Speaker 10: provide healthcare to their loved ones who are sick.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 29:17
  Speaker 15: Senator, you're talking about political trade offs in our jobs
• 29:20
  Speaker 15: to deliver for the United States military and the present.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: Of the United States.
• 29:23
  Speaker 15: And we look at the cost of a nuclear Iran
• 29:26
  Speaker 15: and we want to prevent that from future generations, and
• 29:28
  Speaker 15: that requires funding and supplementals and this budget and next
• 29:31
  Speaker 15: generation capabilities, and that's why we're here today to request
• 29:34
  Speaker 15: some of that to ensure we can ensure that Iran
• 29:36
  Speaker 15: never gets a nucleus.
• 29:37
  Speaker 10: So you're essentially saying you're asking for literally one point
• 29:41
  Speaker 10: five trillion dollars for a war that President Trump said
• 29:44
  Speaker 10: he already won. You're asking for one point five trillion
• 29:47
  Speaker 10: dollars unlimited money for bombs, but insufficient money in the
• 29:51
  Speaker 10: American for the American people for their health care, their
• 29:55
  Speaker 10: food they're housing, and our farmers.
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: Secretary of Rollins, who.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Look Jillibrand is crazy, lady, but she brings up a
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: good point. I mean, we're talking about this is not
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: just a drop in the buck. We're talking about one
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: point five trillion dollars in defense spending. And look, every
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: single penny of this may be legitimate, but my question
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: is when do we get out of all of this.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, the Speaker of the House,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Mike Johnson yesterday said we gotta find we got to
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: find a way to end this. So Johnson, and the
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: reason why the Speaker of the House said that is
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: he knows what his what his clock is, what the
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: clokeye are hearing out in the hinterlands that you, the
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: great conservatives of America are ready to get this thing
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: wrapped up. And that's just not going to happen anytime soon.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Hate to break it to you, but that's it's just
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: not going to happen. Let's go to the phones here,
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Anthony and Alabama. All right, Anthony, what say you? Well?
• 31:01
  Speaker 17: Listening to this bantering going back and forth between hegg
• 31:05
  Speaker 17: Chef and Congress Pegshiff sounds like he's doing a little
• 31:08
  Speaker 17: bit of tap dancing. And I'm not in total disagreement
• 31:12
  Speaker 17: with the Democrats on this and that. My idea is
• 31:16
  Speaker 17: that that money belongs to us taxpayer money. Now, what
• 31:20
  Speaker 17: is the endgame here? It doesn't look to me like
• 31:23
  Speaker 17: you're going to win a ward if they're going to
• 31:24
  Speaker 17: do it tit for tat, So it sounds to me
• 31:27
  Speaker 17: like it's turning into a bottomless pit for money. I
• 31:30
  Speaker 17: would say, if I was Congress, you let us know
• 31:33
  Speaker 17: what your strategory is there, like George Bush used to say,
• 31:37
  Speaker 17: and uh, we will fund your fund. You help to
• 31:40
  Speaker 17: get this wrapped up. But it doesn't look like they're
• 31:44
  Speaker 17: doing anything. They're just going back and forth. How long
• 31:46
  Speaker 17: this is going to last? You know, I've never heard
• 31:49
  Speaker 17: a fight in a war tit for tat like this,
• 31:51
  Speaker 17: So I'm I'm all in favor of hey man, would
• 31:53
  Speaker 17: you show us what you're going to do that we'll
• 31:55
  Speaker 17: let that money free, you know, go free.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: But Anthony, Anthony, hahnt No. Look, I don't get it.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: I have never seen a war like this where all right,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: you should a missile at us and you kill our troops,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: We're gonna shoot back, and then we're gonna stop and wait,
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: what are we waiting for? They're just gonna I mean,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: the argument now is that all of these ceasefires have
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: given Iran the opportunity to basically reload. So are we
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: just giving Iran another opportunity to reload here? I just
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: don't to your point, I don't understand the strategy.
• 32:29
  Speaker 17: The strategicy exactly. It's and you're you're right on there,
• 32:34
  Speaker 17: mister Storrs. And I made my point here. I hope
• 32:38
  Speaker 17: I made my point and you can move on to
• 32:40
  Speaker 17: any other calls.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Well, Anthony, thank you for calling in. I appreciate that. Folks.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: We've got to get out of this. This is gonna
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: get I'm telling you, look, here's where we're here's here's
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: where we're going. And by the way, the President at
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Dover today, the remains of the service members coming back
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: to America and the President will be the comforter in
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: chief to those families today. And it's a job that
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: he does very well, and it's something that he takes
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: very personally, this president. But the more my concern is this,
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: we are going to see more American fatalities, and we're
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: going to get closer to election day, and this is
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: going to be the one issue that mobilizes the Democrats
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: and demoralizes the Republicans because keep in mind, most young
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: gen Z Republicans, Conservatives who are very active politically now
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: they are completely turned off by this war. So all
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: that to say, and I think that's a good lie
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: tap dancing, because that's what heg Seth was doing. And
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: I think we deserve honest answers here. And those were
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: pretty legitimate questions. You said everything had been destroyed, you
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: said we had won. Why do we need more money?
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: And why are we still at war with Iran?
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: is our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. Now I need you folks
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: on the honor system here. So here's what we're gonna
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: do between now in August the eleventh, when my book
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: comes out, The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America. If
• 34:15

• 34:26
  Speaker 2: you'll see in the bookstore. So you're getting a bonus
• 34:29

• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Here's what Congressman Marlin Stutsman had to say a celebration
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: of the restoration of our nation. But it's also a
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: challenge for the next generation to embrace the mission. Our
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: good friend, Congressman Iron Esta says, Todd captures the essence
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: of the Trump Golden Age and reveals why President Trump
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: is the patriot our country needs. For such a time
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: as this, Every American loving citizen should read about this
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: national restoration. As we celebrate our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: If well, thank you for that, Congressman. So again, you

• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Sterns Show.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Zoran Mamdami has once again he has balked on a
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: campaign promise, walking back his threat to arrest Benjamin Yahoo,
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: the Israeli Prime minister. Just a few days ago, man
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Domi was saying that he's a war criminal and that
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: he would be arrested if he stepped foot on American
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: soil to attend any meetings at the United Nations. Well,
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: it turns out he has no authority to do that,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: and it was so bad that he was forced. Somebody
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: forced him to go out. It had to have been
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Trump forced him to go out to the cameras and
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: actually acknowledge that he has absolutely no right, no right whatsoever,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: to arrest Benjamin at Yahoo. I would have loved to
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: have seen ma'm Domi try that. But the funnier thing is,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: God forbid Israel ever lets that guy into the country.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: What if they arrested man DOMI would we try to
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: get him out of an Israeli jail? I don't know
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: about that. All right, nine oh one two six zero
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: five to nine two six is our telephone number. That's
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.

• 37:19
  Speaker 2: reject ban on trans people in military. Be sure to
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: read that. And coming up, we're gonna be talking about
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: another big story on our website. Thousands of non citizens
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: discovered on New Jersey's voting roles. How about that, Ladies
• 37:33

  Speaker 2: to Newsmax Plus dot com. Well, we have a disturbing
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: story up on our website about some information coming out
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: of New Jersey where finally the Democrat governor acknowledging that
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: thousands and probably tens of thousands of non citizens were
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: found to be on voter rolls. And again they told
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: us this was not possible. So how in the world
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: is this possible?
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: I want to bring into the conversation our good friend
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Steve Gill, publisher of TriStar Daily dot com, a terrific
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: political website. Steve, good to have you back with us.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: Hey, Todd, good to be here.
• 39:42
  Speaker 18: And the really disturbing part of that story to me
• 39:45
  Speaker 18: is not just the thousands, tens of thousands of illegal
• 39:48
  Speaker 18: aliens registered, is the fact that apparently at least six
• 39:52
  Speaker 18: hundred or more voted. And like you said, we've been
• 39:54
  Speaker 18: told by the Democrats forever, oh yeah, they never vote. Well,
• 39:58
  Speaker 18: you know, they're voting and in close races. That's the difference.
• 40:02
  Speaker 18: And that's what Democrats are hoping, praying for and intending.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Steve again, you have to go back now and wonder,
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: all right, were there a lot of close races in
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: New Jersey over the past several election cycles and if so,
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: if that is in fact the case, were those people,
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: were those people's votes counted? And do we have some
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: folks who maybe lost elections that should have actually won
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: those elections? And I bet you dollars to donuts every
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: single one of them is a Republican.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: This is the tip of the iceberg.
• 40:32
  Speaker 18: And we've seen with President Trump's speech last week, which
• 40:36
  Speaker 18: the mainstream media chose not to cover, where he not
• 40:38
  Speaker 18: only pointed out the stolen election in twenty twenty, but
• 40:42
  Speaker 18: brought the receipts. I mean literally the documentation that you
• 40:46
  Speaker 18: had those in our intelligence agencies, those in the operation
• 40:50
  Speaker 18: of these candidacies who were intending to create this kind
• 40:54
  Speaker 18: of false winner, false election result. And then we've seen,
• 40:58
  Speaker 18: you know, in Arizona yesterday they had a huge turnout.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: So we'll get to that vault. Yeah, we'll get to
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Arizona just a minute.
• 41:04
  Speaker 18: But I almost if it was stolen too. How many
• 41:06
  Speaker 18: of these that we had stolen all over the country.
• 41:09
  Speaker 18: New Jersey's just the tip of the iceberg.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Well and again, this goes back to why it is
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: so vitally important for the Senate to pass to Save
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: America Act. I think it's safe to that's just not
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: going to happen establishment where Republicans are entrenched and they
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: are simply just not going to do anything about this,
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: Steve Well.
• 41:28
  Speaker 18: And again we're now adding others that seemed to be
• 41:31
  Speaker 18: in that same pattern. Again, the ones that got beat
• 41:33
  Speaker 18: in their primaries because they weren't honest, they weren't truthful,
• 41:36
  Speaker 18: they didn't represent what they claimed they were when they
• 41:39
  Speaker 18: ran for office. Now that they've gotten beat, it's like
• 41:42
  Speaker 18: whether it's Corning, whether it's Tillis on his way out
• 41:44
  Speaker 18: in North Carolina now they're really literally thumbing their nose,
• 41:47
  Speaker 18: or maybe it's that middle finger, not just the President Trump,
• 41:51
  Speaker 18: but to American voters, to taxpayers who they're sticking it
• 41:54
  Speaker 18: to on their way out.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Steve, I do want to switch gears to what happened
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: yesterday in Arizona. I mean, these results were just staggering.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: Congressman Andy Biggs is going to be joining us next
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: week on the show. The last numbers I saw, he
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: had over seventy one percent of the vote. Every single
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: candidate Republican candidate endorsed by Donald Trump won in huge numbers,
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: including Jay Feely, the former NFL star, He won his
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: race in the first congressional district, and also Mark Lamb
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: in Arizona's fifth congressional district. This was a huge night
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: for Republicans in Arizona. But what do you make of
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: that Trump endorsement.
• 42:39
  Speaker 18: Well, first of all, it just reminds us as I
• 42:40
  Speaker 18: noted earlier, that Arizona was stolen.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, Carrie Lake should have been governor.
• 42:44
  Speaker 18: A Pamada who won his Republican primary with President Trump's endorsement,
• 42:49
  Speaker 18: should have been the attorney general. A lot of the
• 42:51
  Speaker 18: corruption in Arizona would have been ended if they had
• 42:53
  Speaker 18: not stolen that series of elections and votes in that state.
• 42:58
  Speaker 18: You know what it says again is, you know, the
• 43:00
  Speaker 18: gold standard in Republican primaries is Trump's endorsement. He's lost
• 43:05
  Speaker 18: maybe a few around the country, but not very many.
• 43:08
  Speaker 18: The question is can that translate into the general election?
• 43:11
  Speaker 18: And we're still going to have to wait and see,
• 43:14
  Speaker 18: but I think that clearly the momentum. I haven't broken
• 43:16
  Speaker 18: down the numbers in Arizona specifically of what kind of
• 43:19
  Speaker 18: turnout we had, because typically when Trump's.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: Not on the ballot, turnout is less.
• 43:24
  Speaker 18: A lot of the MAGA supporters, a lot of the
• 43:26
  Speaker 18: Trump supporters don't turn out when he's not on the ballot,
• 43:30
  Speaker 18: which gives me some pause for concern as we roll
• 43:32
  Speaker 18: into the midterms and whether or not his key voters,
• 43:36
  Speaker 18: his base, will turn out in these midterms.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: That is a fair point. Now. One of the things
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: the President's trying to do to remedy that is holds
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: some sort of a midterm are inc style convention that's
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: going to be in Dallas in September, and I'm wondering
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: if that is going to have the impact that the
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: White House hopes that have has by mobilizing Republicans across
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: the nation.
• 44:00
  Speaker 18: I think that's a great start and many again get
• 44:03
  Speaker 18: people to gather, you know, kind of get that enthusiasm
• 44:06
  Speaker 18: ginned up. I think that for Republicans to you know,
• 44:09
  Speaker 18: maintain and perhaps even grow our Senate majority, keeping and
• 44:14
  Speaker 18: maintain and grow the House majority, I think he's going
• 44:16
  Speaker 18: to have to go on the barnstorming routine again like
• 44:19
  Speaker 18: he did in the presidential races, where literally when he
• 44:22
  Speaker 18: got elected in twenty sixteen, he was doing two or
• 44:25
  Speaker 18: three rallies a day all over the country.
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: I think they're going to have to do that to turn.
• 44:30
  Speaker 18: Out his base, to really kind of mobilize the Trump enthusiasm.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: And I hope that's on their on their own game plan.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: I'm curious if you've been paying attention to what's happening
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: in South Carolina. I kind of got in a little
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: trouble with the party because I pointed out that who
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: knew who knew that hereditary peerage was a thing in
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: the US Congress. You know, my only question this and
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: this is this is it could have gotten worse. I
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: was going to ask this question on X, but I
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: wanted to say it for you. My only question about
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Darlene Graham is she in fact a Republican? I never
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: knew well?
• 45:07
  Speaker 18: And she's legally changing her name to Graham now and
• 45:10
  Speaker 18: dumping her married name to again try to really make
• 45:14
  Speaker 18: that tie to Graham. Did you ever see the movie
• 45:16
  Speaker 18: Distinguished Gentleman, where you had Eddie Murphy as a black
• 45:19
  Speaker 18: guy running for a dead white Jewish congressman seat used
• 45:23
  Speaker 18: the name to fool voters into voting for him. I'm
• 45:26
  Speaker 18: not sure she's completely fooling people. What she's fooling us
• 45:29
  Speaker 18: is what's her record? And you know, we're being told
• 45:32
  Speaker 18: that she's going to be this conservative, she'll be a
• 45:35
  Speaker 18: solid Trump vote. I don't want some more dejas vous.
• 45:38
  Speaker 18: If this sounds strangely like Amy Coney Barrett to me.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: Todd, it's a great observation and a frightening observation. Meanwhile,
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: in Tennessee, the National Republican Congressional Committee naming the ninth
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: Congressional district races one of their big races, and certainly
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: the Democrats are bringing in their big guns AOC. You've
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: got Aana Presley summer Lee campaigning in the Memphis area
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: last weekend, and then You've got what has been called
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: one of the nastiest congressional campaign primaries among Republicans. Brent Taylor,
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: the state senator. He got President Trump's endorsement in the race.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: But there is some really ugly mud being thrown around.
• 46:27
  Speaker 18: Yeah, and I think that it's interesting in the ninth district,
• 46:30
  Speaker 18: you saw you know, Presley and AOC and others gathering
• 46:33
  Speaker 18: in Memphis to support Justin Pearson, one of the Tennessee Three,
• 46:36
  Speaker 18: one of the radical of radicals, who has you know,
• 46:39
  Speaker 18: one of those alternating dialects. When he went to Bowden
• 46:42
  Speaker 18: College in Maine, he talked like a white guy, and
• 46:44
  Speaker 18: when he's in Memphis, he talks like he's straight out
• 46:46
  Speaker 18: of Malcolm X University.
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: So they bring him to Memphis.
• 46:50
  Speaker 18: You're not going to see them in Laverne, in Smyrna
• 46:53
  Speaker 18: and Waynesboro and Fayetteville.
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: They're not going to bring them there.
• 46:56
  Speaker 18: And I would suggest that whether it's Todd Warner or
• 46:58
  Speaker 18: Brent Taylor, offer to fly them into campaign in those rural,
• 47:02
  Speaker 18: red conservative parts of the ninth district that is now
• 47:06
  Speaker 18: about a plus ten Republican district.
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: It is prime for Republicans to pick that seat up.
• 47:10
  Speaker 18: That's been held by liberal white Democrat Steve Cohen in
• 47:15
  Speaker 18: a drawn for black voters district in Memphis for a
• 47:19
  Speaker 18: long time. But Republicans have a great chance to pick
• 47:21
  Speaker 18: that up. And whoever wins the primary probably wins the general,
• 47:25
  Speaker 18: which is why you're seeing the fist fly in this
• 47:27
  Speaker 18: primary battle.
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: And then on the gubernatorial side, Senator Marshall Blackburn and
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: going up against John Rose and a state representative named
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: Mani Fritz. I think it's safe to say that Fritz
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: has massive support among grassroots conservatives. He had the largest
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: turnout campaign turnout thus far. I think over five hundred
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: people turning out this week for a rally. I'm wondering,
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: is Senator Blackburn in danger here? What's going on in Tennessee.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: I don't think she's in any danger for Monty Fritz.
• 48:00
  Speaker 18: I mean he has a very loud, very vocal, but
• 48:03
  Speaker 18: very small group of advocates.
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: He doesn't have the resources, the money.
• 48:07
  Speaker 18: When you're seeing Marcia, who I think one of the
• 48:10
  Speaker 18: out of state you know dark money groups has already
• 48:13
  Speaker 18: dumped over seven or eight million dollars.
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: On her behalf.
• 48:16
  Speaker 18: And I got to tell Todd, I'm really sick of
• 48:18
  Speaker 18: all this out of state pack money dumping in. They're
• 48:21
  Speaker 18: playing in state house races here in Tennessee two and
• 48:24
  Speaker 18: three hundred thousand dollars being dumped in. They don't drive
• 48:27
  Speaker 18: on our roads, their kids don't go to our schools,
• 48:29
  Speaker 18: they don't live here, they don't buy gasoline here. But
• 48:32
  Speaker 18: they're trying to impact our lifestyle here with who they're
• 48:36
  Speaker 18: playing for and very heavily running attack ads in state
• 48:39
  Speaker 18: house races. And then you know, with Marcia dumping over
• 48:42
  Speaker 18: seven to eight million dollars into her gubernatorial campaign so
• 48:46
  Speaker 18: Manti won't win.
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: Rose is closing the gap.
• 48:49
  Speaker 18: She's had a really bad last three weeks with misstep
• 48:52
  Speaker 18: after misstep and some really bad ads that she's put out.
• 48:57
  Speaker 18: But I'm not sure that Rose can beat her when
• 49:00
  Speaker 18: Fannie Fritz is pulling off just enough votes to probably
• 49:03
  Speaker 18: elect Marshall Blackburn to the governor's office.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: Steve real Quick, you know, one of the big concerns,
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: and this is something we've heard in a lot of
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: other races around the country, Republicans refusing to debate. And
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: I get it from a campaign strategy, but really I
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: think it just is a great disservice to the voters
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: if you do not sit down and debate the big
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: issues of the day with your opponents.
• 49:26
  Speaker 18: I agree with you one hundred percent, and I get
• 49:28
  Speaker 18: the strategy if you feel like you've got to lead. Now,
• 49:30
  Speaker 18: keep in mind, Marshall Blackburn's political strategist, Ward Baker was
• 49:34
  Speaker 18: running around throwing out a fifty point lead poll early
• 49:37
  Speaker 18: on that inevitability that you can't lose. Claims has dropped precipitously.
• 49:42
  Speaker 18: The latest poll that they're toouting has her below fifty percent.
• 49:46
  Speaker 18: So it's not the I have no way of losing,
• 49:49
  Speaker 18: you know argument from tactics. Again, it is a closing race,
• 49:54
  Speaker 18: and I think from that standpoint they're afraid to debate
• 49:57
  Speaker 18: because they don't need any more missteps. But I agree
• 49:59
  Speaker 18: with with you. I don't care if you have a
• 50:01
  Speaker 18: big lead tactically, I get it. But in terms of
• 50:04
  Speaker 18: public policy, if you can't stand up to find what
• 50:07
  Speaker 18: you're for, how you're for it, and give us a
• 50:09
  Speaker 18: glimpse into how you're going to govern, you don't believe it.
• 50:12
  Speaker 18: You know, you don't belong in a house, a Senate,
• 50:14
  Speaker 18: or a governor's office in my view.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: You know, again, looking at and just some of the
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: optics of all of this, you know, not not wanting
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: to sit down talk to reporters that you know might
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: be more aggressive. Of course, the media has been unkind
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: to her. I know Channel five in Nashville especially, Uh,
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: they have been egregiously awful. But the reality is that
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: you know, people deserve to hear from, you know, the
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: folks that want to be the next governor of the
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: state of Tennessee.
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: I don't really believe Channel five has been awful to her.
• 50:46
  Speaker 18: I think they've exposed what she's done, and it's awful
• 50:50
  Speaker 18: because of you know, her dodging debates. And when you
• 50:52
  Speaker 18: lie to the media, Todd is you and I have
• 50:54
  Speaker 18: been involved in a long time. You lie to them,
• 50:57
  Speaker 18: they're going to clamp on your leg like a dog
• 50:59
  Speaker 18: with a bone. And she has misrepresented the truth to him,
• 51:02
  Speaker 18: saying that she couldn't give comments because she was on
• 51:05
  Speaker 18: federal time.
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: That was not true, She couldn't.
• 51:07
  Speaker 18: Give comments or get involved in these forums, claiming she
• 51:11
  Speaker 18: had been involved in multiple forms that wasn't true. So
• 51:15
  Speaker 18: when you start misrepresenting the truth, yeah, the media is
• 51:17
  Speaker 18: going to come after you, but they're coming after her
• 51:20
  Speaker 18: with truth and what she's done they're not having to
• 51:23
  Speaker 18: make say things up this mirror.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: All right, Steve, we're gonna have to leave it there.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: What's the big headline? We've got about thirty seconds the
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: big headline on Trystar Daily dot com.
• 51:32
  Speaker 18: I think that we're going to be breaking a story
• 51:34
  Speaker 18: today in schools across the state of Tennessee, we're seeing
• 51:37
  Speaker 18: school lunch prices explode, you know, to the point that
• 51:41
  Speaker 18: in some counties kids are going to be paying seven
• 51:43
  Speaker 18: dollars for school lunch. They still get mystery meat, but
• 51:46
  Speaker 18: they're paying a lot more. And if you got three
• 51:48
  Speaker 18: kids in school, can you really afford twenty one bucks
• 51:50
  Speaker 18: a day to feed them a school line?
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: Seven dollars for a school lunch.
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: And again, maybe that mystery meat. Now, if it's pete today,
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: I'm good with it.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable, all right, uh, Steve gil everybody on our Patriot
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: Mobile news maker line go check out his story. Steve
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: breaking that news coming up a little bit later on today.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: All right, we've got to take a quick break here, folks.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: What do you think about the what do you think
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: about the point I'm trying to make your folks, that
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: every candidate must debate if you want to if you
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: want to be elected, if you want to serve the people,
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: you need to be willing to stand there across the
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: aisle from your opponent and debate the big issues of
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: the day. Nine oh one two six zero five, nine
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: two six. This is the Todd Stearns Show. All right,
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: welcome back, everybody. This is the Tod Stearns Radio Show.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: Or a telephone number. Nine oh one two six zero five,
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: five to nine two six. An amazing story that has
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: nothing to do with politics, but I just love the
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: story from CBS News. A guy goes into a thrift
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: store and comes out with just something incredible. Got twenty
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: five and.
• 53:16
  Speaker 19: Maybe the greatest thrift store find of all time. Quinn Brown,
• 53:20
  Speaker 19: nineteen years old, has resold thousands of items online over
• 53:23
  Speaker 19: the years, most for less than twenty dollars, but earlier
• 53:26
  Speaker 19: this year, going through the bins at a Goodwill near Portland, Oregon,
• 53:29
  Speaker 19: he noticed this somehow or another. NBA great Wilt Chamberlain's
• 53:34
  Speaker 19: Lakers warm up jacket from the seventy two NBA Finals
• 53:37
  Speaker 19: had ended up for sale in Oregon for three dollars
• 53:41
  Speaker 19: and seven cents.
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: Here's Brown.
• 53:44
  Speaker 6: The really key moment for me was, I was in
• 53:46
  Speaker 6: my room and I looked at the measurements of the jacket.
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: Wilt Chamberlain being seven foot one, the jacket measured thirty
• 53:53
  Speaker 6: three inches long, so would have gone down almost to
• 53:56
  Speaker 6: my knees.
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: I looked at it, and it matched up.
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: Smart kid.
• 53:59
  Speaker 19: When Brown posted his discovery online, Sotheby's reached out, helped
• 54:03
  Speaker 19: with the forensic investigation, matching the stitches on the jacket
• 54:07
  Speaker 19: to old pictures of it, and then put it up
• 54:09
  Speaker 19: for auction, and that three dollars thrift store fine just
• 54:13
  Speaker 19: sold for nearly ninety thousand dollars, putting the jacket into
• 54:17
  Speaker 19: the pantheon of bargain fines, including a Declaration of Independence
• 54:22
  Speaker 19: copy found at a flea market and this thousand year
• 54:25
  Speaker 19: old Chinese bowl sold at a garage cell, both worth millions,
• 54:28
  Speaker 19: by the way. As for Brown, he says he plans
• 54:31
  Speaker 19: to put most of his windfall into savings, but also
• 54:34
  Speaker 19: celebrate by taking what he calls a cheap vacation to Vietnam.
• 54:38
  Speaker 19: Let us know how the thrift stores are.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: Wow, Dylan, could you imagine I need to shop where
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: this guy shop. I'm just trying to fire how did
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: the guy even know? I mean, you know, there's a
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: lot of well, there's a lot of junk in a
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: thrift store.
• 54:53
  Speaker 8: And there's a like a lot of fake stuff too
• 54:55
  Speaker 8: that looks like the thing, but it's actually just like
• 54:58
  Speaker 8: a knockoff someone just made. I don't know. All I
• 55:01
  Speaker 8: can find is like stained shirts that smell kind of
• 55:03
  Speaker 8: funny when I go thrifting, So like to find this
• 55:07
  Speaker 8: hidden gym.
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: But it could be one of those stained shirts, could
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: be like, you know, I don't know, President Trump, you know,
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: had was eating a filet of fish and you know,
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: dropped a little sauce on the story. You know, they
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: could you.
• 55:17
  Speaker 8: Never know, never stopped thrifting, be able.
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: To buy a house. But yeah, that's pretty that's pretty
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: that's pretty awesome. What a great story though. And the
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: kids going to Vietnam is that like a thing?
• 55:28
  Speaker 8: Now wouldn't be my first choice, but you know, have
• 55:31
  Speaker 8: at it.
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's exactly You go to Tehran Vietnam, Okay, whatever, No,
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: but apparently Vietnam is a major hot spot among gen
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: Z international travelers. I don't know how you guys your
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: generation goes, they're like all over the world.
• 55:49
  Speaker 8: Yeah, the money that they have to spend, don't I
• 55:51
  Speaker 8: don't know.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: I don't get that at all. I'd much rather go
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: down to the Redneck Riviera enjoy the beautiful beaches of
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: the Gulf of America. All Right, nine oh one two
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six hour telephone number. That's
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: nine O one two six zero five nine two six.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Starring Show. All Right, welcome back
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: to the Todd Starts Radio Show. I was on Liz
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: Peak's website, lizpeak dot com. I am stunned by the
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: story that her staff wrote. Are you ready for this?
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: In New York City, a government plumber, a city plumber,
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: was pulling down nearly a half a million dollars in
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: a single year. This is absurd. The numbers come from
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: Manhattan Institute. In a one year period, one plumbing supervisor
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: earned four hundred and sixty five thousand dollars. Two thirds
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: of that came from overtime alone. Liz Pek joins us
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. Liz, I don't know
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: how your team comes up with these stories. This is
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: absolutely insanity.
• 57:17
  Speaker 20: Yeah, but you know, it is just sort of another
• 57:20
  Speaker 20: indication of so much sort of soft corruption in New
• 57:25
  Speaker 20: York City, so much talk about what this had to
• 57:30
  Speaker 20: do with NISCHE, the New York City Housing Authority, and
• 57:33
  Speaker 20: I'm sure that you've read that in this whole debate
• 57:37
  Speaker 20: about rent control and going after landlords with sub car
• 57:44
  Speaker 20: rental units and so forth, Mayor Mondani has yet to
• 57:48
  Speaker 20: address the fact that by far the worst landlords in
• 57:51
  Speaker 20: New York City, the most wasteful, the most indifferent to
• 57:56
  Speaker 20: the plight of their tenants is of course New York City,
• 57:59
  Speaker 20: and he wanted to rest that because there are literally
• 58:02
  Speaker 20: hundreds and hundreds of complaints from NISCHE tenants complaining about
• 58:09
  Speaker 20: rat infestations, appliances that don't work, heap that's not available
• 58:13
  Speaker 20: during the winter. I mean, it's really preposterous. But this
• 58:17
  Speaker 20: story is, you know, was a town hall and it
• 58:20
  Speaker 20: really is kind of an amazing thing that this plumbing
• 58:23
  Speaker 20: supervisor is getting paid, basically by taxpayers, almost half a
• 58:29
  Speaker 20: million dollars a year. And by the way, I'm sure
• 58:33
  Speaker 20: that he's not alone. The way he earned that was
• 58:35
  Speaker 20: basically through overtime. And again, I'm sure you've read stories
• 58:38
  Speaker 20: about how various kinds of civil servants in New York
• 58:42
  Speaker 20: City get paid a fortune in overtime, and it's all calculated.
• 58:47
  Speaker 20: It's all completely orchestrated by the agencies. Again, it's soft corruption.
• 58:53
  Speaker 20: It's everywhere, and you know, I mean it really sort
• 58:59
  Speaker 20: of also kind of reminds us all that one of
• 59:02
  Speaker 20: the best things to be these days is a plumber.
• 59:05
  Speaker 20: AI isn't going to take your job. You know, they
• 59:09
  Speaker 20: really need to, et cetera. But it's very dispiriting, isn't it.
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: It's it really is. Also. Speaking of dispiriting, I have
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: to imagine the Democratic Socialists are really dispirited because once
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: again zoim Maamdami has failed to deliver on a campaign promise.
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: It turns out he's not allowed to arrest Benjamin Yahoo
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: after all.
• 59:31
  Speaker 20: Yeah, and you know you knew that.
• 59:33
  Speaker 9: I knew that.
• 59:34
  Speaker 20: Guess what show on Mondani did that as well. You
• 59:37
  Speaker 20: can't have city officials overriding federal law. He is protected
• 59:42
  Speaker 20: as a head of state under federal law. And so
• 59:46
  Speaker 20: it was all just a performance art and being disingenuous
• 59:52
  Speaker 20: with his voters. By the way, the International Criminal Court,
• 59:56
  Speaker 20: which we all know America is not a signatory to
• 59:59
  Speaker 20: not a party to. So they're the fact that they
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 20: have this arrest warrant out on Netanyak, who has nothing
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 20: to do with anything to do with law enforcement in
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 20: the United States. But the warrant is interesting because what
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 20: its cites is that Netanyah who was party to withholding
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 20: aid from people in the Palestinian territory, Palestinians in Gaza. Right, So,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 20: actually who has been blocking not only blocking, but stealing
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 20: aid according to the UN from the Palestinians in Gaza.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 20: It's Hamas. And now that is actually a fact. I mean,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 20: it's been long reported that these trucks go in and
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 20: Hamas basically commandeers them and then they sell aid that's
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 20: being delivered by the United States or by Israel at
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 20: black market rates and they pocket the money. That's where
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 20: their money comes from. In part, so you know, where's
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 20: Mom donni on holding those people accountable. It is so
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 20: off center, todd As you well know. It is so
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 20: wrong headed to be blaming Israel. Remember all of the
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 20: blaming Israel started after the attack by Hamas which slaughtered men,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 20: women and children in Israel, and then Israel fought back.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 20: That was their big sin. It's pretty incredible to me
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 20: that basically got an incredible element now wing of the
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 20: Democratic Party that has gone full anti Israel and full
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 20: anti Semitic and without any apologies at all. Incredible.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: Liz Peek joining us on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line today. Liz,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: I know the big story for you guys, your comments
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: on this oil threat and the Red Sea coming from
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: the Houthis, and we could see a spike in gas prices.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting. The Democrats in Tennessee, all where
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: I live already sent out a big press release yesterday
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: noting that gas prices were climbing again the hearings. And
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: I'm a big Trump guy, but I am really concerned
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: about what we're doing in Iran right now and how
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: long this is going to last. I don't think we
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: got any clear indication of that from Pete Haig sith
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: yesterday on Capitol Hill. How big of a threat is
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: this Red Sea situation?
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 20: Oh, it's it's serious. I mean, the Saudis have basically
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 20: circumvented having to export through the state of Hormones by
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 20: exporting a different pipeline and then a different strait which
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 20: now being is threatened by the hoo'sies and we're talking
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 20: about five to seven million barrels a day of oil.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 20: It's a lot, and it's about three percent of world production.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 20: So this is, yeah, a real problem. Look, it is
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 20: inconceivable to me that with Iran going after all, the
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 20: Gulf States bombing Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, and Hoodie's attacking
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 20: which is an Iran surrogate Saudi Arabia, and so forth,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 20: that these nations cannot all muster their forces and blow
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 20: the Iranians out of the Strait of Hormonuves. It just
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 20: seems incredible to me. Why don't the combined navies of
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 20: all these and our allies as well. By the way,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 20: Europe is worse aught from They suffer more from high
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 20: oil prices and high gas prices than Americans do. Why
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 20: don't we, just all of us collectively, aren't protecting the
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 20: ships that are transversing, traversing the Strait of Hormones and
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 20: also these other straits that lead into the Gulf of Aiden.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 20: Why is there not a more robust protection. Let's face it,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 20: every country in the world is being disadvantaged by Iran. Surely,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 20: surely we can manage to blow out of the water,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 20: the speedboats and blow out of the hills the missile
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 20: sites that are allowing them to do this. This is
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 20: preposterous to me that they are literally controlling the me
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 20: of the world right now. It cannot be allowed to happen.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 9: And look.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 20: The question, you know, this is an impossible choice for
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 20: Donald Trump. It seems to me. Either he agrees to
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 20: what Gutter and Pakistan are coming up with another ten
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 20: day reprieve, which allows RAND to rebuild their inventories of
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 20: missiles and also recapture a lot of revenues. Does he
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 20: allow that because oil prices will come down and gas
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 20: prices will come down, or does he just move forward
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 20: the war? I don't know. I mean, it's a horrible choice.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 20: And I think I think it's fair to be critical
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 20: of Trump and his advisors and Pete Hegsett for not
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 20: having anticipated this problem better. But here we are. That
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 20: doesn't really help solve it. Liz, you know, I don't
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 20: know what they're going to do before.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: We Before I let you go, I'd love read away
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: in on your column over it over at Fox, and
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: you make an interesting observation about the economy, And I
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: don't know, it's the economy is actually doing better than
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: the media wants to admit. That's the headline of the piece.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: But a CNBC shirt survey shows what sixty one percent
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: of the public remains pessimistic about the economy. What's the
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: messaging here that the Republicans need to be taking out
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: on the campaign trail.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 20: Well, I think they need first of all, come out
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 20: from their defensive crouch and start talking about the tax
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 20: cut bill that President Trump engineered last year, because guess what,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 20: every family in America has benefited from that. Had they
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 20: allowed the tax cut bill from twenty seventeen to expire,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 20: every family would have been paying thousands more in taxes
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 20: this year. And by the way, that's what Kamala Harris
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 20: was promising. So it is also the fact that he
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 20: lowered taxes on tips and lower taxes on overtime, all
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 20: these things, and you know, that's a pretty damn big
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 20: bus to the economy. Not to mention that we have
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 20: an investment boom partly because of the pro business expensing
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 20: of capital, equipment and so forth. It was in that bill.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 20: So you have investment going through the roof. Employment partly
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 20: is very strong because of that investment boom. And what
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 20: will follow is enormous gains and productivity from AI and
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 20: from all this investment. So there is a good story
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 20: to tell. I think, honestly, Republicans have been so brownbeaten
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 20: over the tax cuts as being a Democrats all a
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 20: handout to the wealthy, and they accuse Republicans of only
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 20: caring about the wealthy. Are no taxes on tips? Is
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 20: that for wealthy people? No, that's for working class people,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 20: and todd As the DSA can't even explain to you
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 20: what a working class person is, and they sure as
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 20: heck aren't working class people. I think Republicans need to
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 20: get more aggressive on saying yeah, Donald Trump took a
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 20: lot of these working class voters in twenty sixteen again
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 20: in twenty twenty four and guess what were doing stuff
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 20: for that group? You are not, and be positive about
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 20: what's been accomplished, because other than the war in Iran,
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 20: which I get is perfect, is quite controversial right now.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 20: The reality is there's a lot that has gone right
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 20: and Republicans need to go out and talk about it.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: It's a great point, a great point a Lizbeak dot com.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: Everybody go check out her website. Liz we got to
• 1:07:22

  Speaker 7: I can you explain what a manpad.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 4: Is Yeah, that's a man portable air defense system.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 21: Okay, it's a Basically, it was a report of a
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 21: rocket launcher.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 7: Okay, where was that?
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 6: It was a.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 21: Report by the Port Authority Police, I said by I
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 21: believe Terminal Seaweed had conflicting conflicting reports, but nothing has
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 21: been an issue as of yet.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: Okay, so four, thanks for the information.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: You're welcome.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 17: Don't use your respond Delta twenty sixty four.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 21: Port Authority Police reported.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 17: It was non credible threat.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 7: That's all right.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: So if you missed that, man PAD stands for man
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: portable air defense system and imagine I'm just it's everybody
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: was so nonchalant about it. Hey, guys, heads up, somebody
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: may be launching a rocket at your adulta flight.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 8: I want to know why they call it a man pad.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 8: I feel like you need a new acronym.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: You know who got excited about that? Tim Waltz, Oh yeah, hello, Ball,
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: did someone say man pat?
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 8: It was just him?
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: You know, it's it is what it is. So anyway,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: uh yeah, apparently this was this is a was a
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: is a big problem overseas, but this this apparently it
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: may be a problem at Terminal Sea at LaGuardia Airport
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: in New York City. But I mean, could you imagine,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: you know, being the pilot and getting on the intercom system.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: Folks better buckle up. It's about to It's about to
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: get real.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 3: Up in here.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 8: That would be very terrifying.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, it would. But you know, again it goes back
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: to the whole idea of the threat is now moving
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: outside of the airport itself. You know, everybody's so concerned about,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: you know, patting down Granny and getting the first base,
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: you know with Grandpa. Meanwhile, you've got people that are
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: flying drones into airplanes that you've got this what it
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: turned out to be a false report of somebody with
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: a rocket launcher. I do wonder if you're I mean,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: if you're in New York City, I don't think you
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: would pay much attention if somebody was walking down the
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: street carrying one of those things.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 8: See, I would think the opposite. I would think, out
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 8: of all the things, I would I would be very
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 8: concerned if a rocket launcher was being like HELDK.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe maybe I just seen I've just seen a
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: lot of weird stuff true in New York City.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 8: I just maybe a gun I'll be okay with like,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 8: but that is very, very obvious.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: There was a guy on a subway car. And I
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: think I shared this story many many years ago, but
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: there was a guy on a subway car. It was
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: the F train. I don't know why I remember this.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: It was the F train and it was a It
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: was late one night. I had to work the late
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: shift at Fox and so I'm taking the subway home
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: and there's some guy sitting there. He's got a live
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: chicken and he's making out with the chicken. He's kissing
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: the chicken on the beak.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 8: I did not expect to hear that he was making
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 8: out with it.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 8: I thought you were going to say he saved a
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 8: seat for it.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, he was. He was caressing the chicken.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a little awkward for all of us.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 8: Was it a girl chicken?
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: Hard to say?
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 8: Okay, we you didn't want to get that close? No?
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: No, pardon me? Is that a rooster or a hen?
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: All I knew was I guess the guy was in
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: the chicks I don't know.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: Or whatever.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: And then there were the pan flute guys. Those guys
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: really creep me out because they're all like little people.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: They're not little little people. They're like they're almost little people,
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: but they're just really really short and so and then
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: they get on and they just play the pan flute,
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: and you wonder, would you rather be stuck in a
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: subway car with a guy making out with a chicken
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: being serenaded by some little mitchet fella playing the pan flute,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: or would you rather have a Marianchi band. It's kind
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: of like you got to weigh the odd you know.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: It's like, okay, I'm for a level.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 8: I think I'll just get off and walk At that.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: Point, yeah, yeah, you would not want to do that
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: in that neighborhood, but yes, that could actually be an option.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 8: Well, there you go.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: It took me seven months before I could, you know,
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: eat at Chick fil A again. After it was tough.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 8: I'm sad I didn't see anything when I went to
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 8: New York. I didn't see any pan flutes.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: Or I was traumatized.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 8: I can see that.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: It was very scary. All right, we've got to uh,
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: we got to take a break here. Nine oh one
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six hour telephone number.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: This is the Tom Stern Show, Live.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: From the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's America's
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: conservative Blowtorch's.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: American to start, all right, I don't mean to be
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: unusually weird, but we needed to clear up something from
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: the last segment. Hello, everybody, Welcome to the Ton Stearns
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: Radio Program. So happy to have you with us today.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: So we were talking in the last segment, Dyllan, about
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: my adventures on the subway train with the guy who
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: was making out with a live chicken, and you asked
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: whether or not the chicken was You were just trying
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: to figure out what side of the chicken coop the guy.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 8: I mean, if he's making out with the chicken. And
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 8: those are questions that I have.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: So Kristin Knew, who is one of the we we
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: affectually called her one of the real housewives of Germantown.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: Dear friend of the station, She says, Tell Dylan Todd,
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: Tell Dylan, all chickens are girls. If it's a boy,
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: it's a rooster.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah. I know that, but I use it interchangeably. But
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 8: I know that a rooster has its specific roles and
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 8: the chicken lays the eggs I know that.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, as long as you understand I mean.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 8: You know, chicken can be you know what I'm saying.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 8: If he's making out with the chicken, you're not going
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 8: to say, oh, that's just a rooster's that was a rooster.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: Well I think the rooster would fight back because the
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: rooster would know all right, dude, yeah, we're not going.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm not waking you up tomorrow morning.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: Answer Wow, cock a doodle?
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 18: Do there you go? Uh?
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, welcome everybody, So glad we got that cleared up.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: Thank you. What Kristen knew for the lecture on the
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: I guess the Anatomy and Biology of the family. Well,
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: there's really no good way to do this, but I
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: want to go right away to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: line and say lo to our good friend Troy Miller,
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: the CEO and president of the National Religious Broadcasters. Troy,
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: welcome to the show. What that does? Rip that band
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: aid off? Good to be with you, Troy. We're not
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: going to talk chickens. We're gonna spare you from that.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: But there is a lot going on in the in
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: the world of religious liberty and of course faith and
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: media as well. And of course we're still in the
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: throes of this effort to save AM radio. And how
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: is that effort going.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 22: Yeah, we we are, and we did get a good
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 22: shout out about a week ago from the President to
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 22: asking the Speaker UH and the Majority leader to get
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 22: this up on the floor. So we're hoping that they'll
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 22: take this up before they go into the August recess.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: Well, it's it's a big deal, and it is certain
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: something that we all need to be paying attention to,
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: especially all of us who own AM radio stations, but
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: also for listeners, and you know, a lot of people
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: don't realize the impact that AM radio has in the
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: Christian world, and especially the not just the Christian teaching
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: and preaching, but also the Christian talk stations that are
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: out there.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 22: That's right, talk and teach is one of the most
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 22: popular top genres on AM radio and there. Look, they're
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 22: eighty five million AM radio listeners across this country and
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 22: depend on the AM radio daily for their news, their information,
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 22: and for as you said, they're Christian teaching and Todd,
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 22: we all know that this is also a bigger picture
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 22: issue because right behind AM radio is FM radio and
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 22: really at the core of this is consumer choice. Will
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 22: the consumer have the choice the person in the car
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 22: of what they want to listen to you or are
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 22: the big auto makers going to make that choice for them?
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: And that is something that you know, every single American
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: needs to be engaged in. So you guys have done
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: a great job NRB and all of our great listeners
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: lighting up the phones there on Capitol Hill to make
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: your voice known. You know, Troy, you know, I think
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of our listeners may not be familiar with
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: the mission of National Religious Broadcasters and the great work
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: you guys are doing. They're in our nation's capital. Tell
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: us a little bit about the mission of NRB.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 22: Look, the top roll of NRB is we are the
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 22: chief advocate for Christian communicators in the government spaces. We
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 22: look and follow all the legislation that's going through. We
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 22: also keep track of what's going on in the regulatory departments,
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 22: particularly the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 22: What are those controls all the broadcasters. The other one
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 22: oversees all the things that are going on the Internet,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 22: including streaming and just various employment regulatory environments as well.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 22: So and we advocate to keep Christian communicators in the
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 22: public space. That's our the chief work we do. We
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 22: also work on a number of issues, including our international
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 22: advocacy that works on Christian persecution, anti Semitism, and religious
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 22: freedom around the world. So we have a lot to
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 22: do these days. Todd, there's no shortage of work.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: No, And I think a lot of people get lulled
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: into this, I don't know complacency. I guess you know
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: that you know President Trump is in the White House,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: religious liberties being protected, people of faith are being protected,
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: religious broadcasters aren't aren't coming under attack. And yet there
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: could become a time in the near distant future where
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: you know, we may not have a friendly, a faith
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: friendly president in the White House.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 22: Well, look, we do have a faith friendly president now
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 22: and a faith friendly administration. But a lot of the
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 22: work that there'sdministration has done, especially in these areas, could
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 22: be easily overturned by the next administration that could be
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 22: hostile to faith. And look, we've seen that in the
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 22: last administration, that weaponize the government against people of faith,
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 22: against Catholic pro lifers, against Protestants, all across the board.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 3: But Todd, also, we have not.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 22: Just the government, we have corporate America that we battle
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 22: with a lot in advocacy because especially the social media
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 22: platforms and those folks often have a very negative bias,
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 22: a bias against Christians and Christian communicators and our message.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 22: So that's another area we work hard in as well
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 22: as constantly combating the mainstream media and entertainment industry.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: Is that a I mean and again, when you look
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 2: at the power of you know, Christian radio and Christian
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: broadcasting television, I mean we're talking about powerhouses here, and
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: I know that there are a lot of things that
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: are happening in the digital space as well. Our good
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: friend Jack Hibbs from Real Life Network launching a massive
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: OTT platform. That's going to be exciting to see the
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: explosion of those kinds of ministries in the digital space
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 22: Yeah, Christians have been on the forefront of a lot
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 22: of innovations and getting the message out. You know, we're
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 22: commanded to take the Gospel into the whole world. So
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 22: that's a great driver for us to be in these
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 22: new emerging markets. And Pastor Hibbs and his group has
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 22: done a fantastic job in their Real Life Network. There
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 22: are other groups as well working on this. There are
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 22: a number of ministries that get on platforms like Roku
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 22: and other streaming systems. So Christians are out there, they're
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 22: going to stay ahead of the curb. We help them
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 22: with that. We're constantly educating on where technology is going
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 22: and how it's moving and how they get involved. So
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 22: this it's important for us because again we have to
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 22: do this not only because we want to be where
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 22: the audiences are, but we have a very hostile corporate
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 22: America against the Christian message.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: Oh well, no doubt about that. And I know we're
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: excited we're going to be making some announcements concerning Real
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: Life Network and our partnership with them, and it's getting
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: the message out there. And unfortunately, the national media, and
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: we've even seen this in some conservative media, are just
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: not friendly to people of faith and the message and
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: the position that we take on some of the big
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: culture war issues of the day. So we've got to
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: make sure we do have those platforms. And I think
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: that's what you guys that and RB are doing is
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: making sure that those platforms are defended and protected.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 22: Not only absolutely Todd, that's exactly what we're doing, making
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 22: sure they're protected, they're defended, making sure our ministries know
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 22: how to get involved, how to launch them. But also, Todd,
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 22: as you said, the mainstream media is not just hostile
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 22: to the Christian message. They often don't report on anything
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 22: that goes on into the Christian world. And Christian persecution
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 22: is a major message that we can tell you that
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 22: the mainstream media ignores going around. You didn't hardly see
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 22: the Nigerian persecution that has cost thousands of lives. Even
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 22: this past weekend there were several hundred Christians that were murdered,
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 22: villages that were rated. You don't hear that in the
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 22: mainstream media anywhere, Nor Todd, do you hear all of
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 22: the work that Christians do and the charity that they
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 22: do across this country. Christianity is either marginalized, ignored, or
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 22: villainized by the mainstream media.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: Well, we're proud to be members of NRB and Troy
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: just appreciate the great work. Then the entire organization does,
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: but you especially because you have really been an incredibly
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: effective voice getting our message out there in the public marketplace,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: and we really do appreciate that.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you, Todd.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 22: I do appreciate that because we're working hard, because you're
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 22: programming people like you. You're on the front lines. You're
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 22: out there every day bringing that truth. And by the way, Todd,
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 22: a year ago when we did a Barney survey, sixty
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 22: six percent of America, two thirds of America said that
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 22: Christian media people like you were valuable and trustworthy. And
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 22: mainstream media that's in the low twenties, if not the teens.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 22: And so it's an important it's an important role we play,
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 22: and it's an important message we play, and we're often
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 22: the only ones bringing the truth to the audience in
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 22: America today.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: All right, well, Troy, we're going to have to leave
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: it there, but again, great work INRB dot org is
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: the website that's RB dot org. And I know we
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: have a lot of church folks that listen to us.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: Maybe they're involved in digital or broadcast ministries and they're
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: invited to be a member at an RB as well.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: Is that right?
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 22: Absolutely, anybody who's involved in communicating, getting their message out,
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 22: whether it's streaming out of your church, you should be
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 22: a part of NRB. You can go to NRB dot
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 22: org and find out how to become a member and
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 22: all of the issues that we're working for on your behalf.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: All right, Troy. Good good to hear from you, my friend.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: Look forward to seeing you soon.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 3: Thank you, sir.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: All Right, there you have it, Troy Miller a president
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: and CEO of National Religious Broadcasters. So be sure to
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: go and check out their great website NRB dot org.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: And especially if you're involved in a church or a ministry.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: What a great organ if look set aside all the
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: important things they're doing, but also the fellowship and the
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: opportunity to hang out with like minded broadcasters and creators
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: content developers. It's really one of the one of the
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: most wonderful organizations out there. Cannot say enough good things
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 2: about NRB. All right, nine oh one two six zero
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: five nine two six is our telephone number. I do
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: want to get to the phones here. We've got Tom
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: in Houston listening to us on Patriot Talk nine to twenty.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 2: Wants to weigh in on New Jersey voter fraud. Hi Tom,
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 23: Hello there, Todd. I saw a news thing of breaking
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 23: news on my Facebook feed, and sure enough it's disappeared
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 23: after a little bit of time here. But the jest
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 23: of the article is that IDMA I believe is the
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 23: contractor that the new Jersey DMV used to do the
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 23: registration of individuals, and they are calling Mickey Cheryl's accusation
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 23: of computer error false. They are claiming that the votes
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 23: of six thousand illegal foreigners was not part of their
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 23: computer era. And it is title is breaking news, but
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 23: it said fifteen hours ago. And I am just amazed
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 23: that the media system, which censored President Trump's speech is
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 23: not hollering from the rooftops about this new development in
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 23: the over six thousand illegal voters in New Jersey.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: Are you well, yeah, so we've been covering the story.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: We covered it pretty much in depth in the first
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: hour of the show, and as far as I know,
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: I think just about all the media is picking up
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: on this, but they're not understanding, you know, the timelines.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: And I think a good buddy of mine, Lars Larson,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: host a show later in the afternoon, and Lars did
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: a great job of the timeline of when all of
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: this happened. And the bigger question is why Democrats in
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: New Jersey did not address this when these fraudulent voters
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: were first discovered. That to me is the bigger issue.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: But yeah, sixty six hundred non citizens added to the
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 2: voter rolls and they're saying nearly four hundred cast ballots.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you that number is a lot larger than
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: four hundred.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 23: Tom, Well, I apologize to you, wor ship so I
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 23: just woke up thirty minutes ago.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: Tom, don't apologize. You're catching up on the news.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 23: Yeah, yeah, but I'm sure that David Mirror will have
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 23: the story as tonight. That's the way it is.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Yes, and that's a very nice uh,
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: that's a very nice accent there, my friend. It was
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: sort of like a what a Walter Cronkite Howard co selfusion.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: All right, Tom, uh, wake up, my friend, grab some
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: breakfast and start your day. And I hope you have
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: a great one nine oh one two six zero five
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: nine two six, and a good morning everybody if you're
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 2: just waking up. This is the Todd Stern Show. All right,
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: let's go to Johnny in Texas listening to us on
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: PATRIOTC nine to twenty. A lot of Houston listeners today, Johnny,
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: before we get to the chickens, how are things going
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: you guys? Have that big tropical stormheaded your way?
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's what just telling us. Anyway, Todd.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: All right, So batting down the hatches, you guys. I
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: mean this is like a you know, a windy, rainy
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: day for you guys. Y'all know what to do down
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: there when it comes to the storm. Well there you go,
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 2: send some of that rain up to Memphis.
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 9: Oh yeah, well maybe I'll sit there and play a
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 9: little bit.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: All right, Johnny, let's talk chickens.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 9: Okay, I'm a raised exotic chicken. And that woman was
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 9: partially correct. Chickens is the term for the bird, not
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 9: for the sticks of the bird. A pullet is a
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 9: female that hasn't laid eggs, and a hen is a
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 9: female that hasn't laid eggs. Roosters are roosters, so soon
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 9: partly rot I call kicks. Chickens is male or females.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: Dylan, you're Dylan, you're crowing over there.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 8: I am growing. I feel like I'm justified now that
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 8: I said chickens.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 9: Okay, So I wanted to justify because he was right.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: I have a question though about these exotic what what
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: is it? What is an exotic chicken?
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 9: Well, I raise these chickens that are have black bones,
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 9: black meat, black beet, black beat, black eyes, entirely black
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 9: they're from Indonesia, I see.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: And they're they're exotic. Do they come with names like
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: cinnamon or velvet or vixen?
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 8: Like?
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: Are they that exotic?
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 9: Well, their name is a y A m al elm
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 9: Somani the emy and I oh totally black. People buy
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 9: them just to fit the meat taste any different, but
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 9: it doesn't interesting. They pay pretty good price for a
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 9: birdle run you full birdle run you about fifteen hundred bucks.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I'd rather go through drive through at KFC. Yeah, man, cheaper.
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'll tell the kicks straight out of the moment.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 9: They hatched for fifty bucks.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: Apiece, Is that right? Okay?
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 9: Wow, I'm perfectly happy doing that. I sell as many
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 9: as I can hatch.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: John Well, you're a good man. Yeah, I would be too.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 2: That's good money right there.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 9: All right, Johnny, I had one other thing I'm wanting
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 9: to say, and I didn't get to tell the collar
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 9: but the reason I was going to text you, but
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 9: my phone didn't show your phone number any.
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: I've got ten seconds, ten seconds, Johnny, what is it?
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 2: Because we got to take a break.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 9: I know there's not a lot of billionaires and millionaires
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 9: that are not against the people of faith, how come
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 9: they hading time together those that are and bought a
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 9: TV station.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: Well that's a good question, Johnny. Well, you know what,
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 2: we'll take a look at that. Got to take a
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: break right now. I'm glad he clarified. I thought I
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: was thinking exotic chickens, you know, maybe stripper poles or
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: you know. So thank you for clarifying that, Johnny. We'll
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: be right back. Exotic chickens, Jill and I kind of
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 2: feel bad. I mean, poor Johnny over there holling in
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: what fifteen hundred bucks for his exotic chickens, and my
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 2: mind immediately went to the gutter.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean too, that's the way of the world.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 8: That's I mean, what are you gonna do exotic chickens?
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 8: You think a chicken named cinnamon roll?
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: Oh yeez, a big bosomed bird named lollipop or beatrice.
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 8: More than just laying eggs?
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 2: Hello, Well, I mean, oh jeez, So I'm checking out
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: this bird. Did he say it was from Ethiopia or
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 2: where was he saying it was from Ethiopia? No Ethiopia.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: Those would be scrawny little birds, just skinny little bird.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 2: It's no Indonesia.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 3: Is what he said.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 2: So I'm looking these birds up and you are he
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: was not kidding. These things are yeah, so everything is
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 2: everything's black. Yeah, they're blackbirds. I mean, so what does
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: the exotic chicken like show a little beak or show
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: a little you know, show a little fuck. I have
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 2: lost control of the show. That's what bothers me about
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: this segment. But anyway, yeah, so there you go. And
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 2: why were we How did we get off on this
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 2: tangent in the first place.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 8: I think because the man on the subway maked out
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 8: with the chicken. I wanted to know if it was
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 8: a girl or boy. Then we got clarity on that one.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 2: So according to according to chan Chi Putie, well you
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 2: can take this for what it's worth, the black chickens
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: are actually very good to eat. I'm just I eat white.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: I'm a white meat guy, and I'm not that does
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 2: that mean be a racist? I just like the white
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 2: meat of the chicken. I've never I would try it.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 2: I'll try it for you, you would try it, okay,
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: I think. So you know we've crossed the rubicon. When
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: Chick fil A offers their you know, black chicken sandwich,
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 2: you know they've already done the cauliflower thing.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, but if it tastes the same, like,
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 8: I don't know if it would even matter. But I
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 8: don't know if they would do that.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, here we go the other They're from Indonesia, not Ethiopia.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 2: My apologies. Indonesia. They have a dominant gene that causes
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: hyper pigmentation, making the chicken mostly black, including the feathers,
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 2: the beak, and internal organs. You know a lot of
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: people eat the feet.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 3: Did you know that?
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: I do know that chicken people, and I mean here
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 2: in the South people, they really enjoy what the pickled.
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 2: You know, pigs feet, pickled, pig snout.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 8: We take advantage of every single part of that chicken,
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 8: yet with no part that goes uneaten.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 2: Careful with the word we we as in the South,
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 2: does that a lot? You walk into an old country store,
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 2: you're gonna see something big and pickled on the account
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 2: was pickled?
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: It is? Have you ever had the kool Aid pickles?
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 8: No?
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: I know, somebody in the Mississippi Delta, which we broadcast
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 2: on a number of stations in Mississippi. But this is
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 2: a you should google this kool Aid pickles. It is
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: a delicacy in the Mississippi Delta, and you you find
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 2: those those big jars of pickles. They're like, you know,
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: fifteen gallon jars, right, and you you have the pickles,
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 2: and then you pour kool aid, you know, the the
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 2: kool aid mixture into the powder. You pour it into
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 2: the pickle juice, and you get the whole sweet and sour.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 2: But Dylan, here's the frightening thing. The pickle takes on
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 2: the color of whatever the kool aid is.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm looking at a red pickle right now, and
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 8: that would that would surprise me if I was thinking
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 8: it was a watermelon.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 3: I'm not like that.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: I'm not eating a purple a purple pickle. Yeah, that's no.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 2: I can't do that. I can't. No black chickens, no
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 2: purple pickles. I just I think I may be racist.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 8: I call them coolickles. Is this true?
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 4: Les?
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 2: I've heard? I just know I've heard them known as
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 2: kool aid pickles. And it is a huge popular thing,
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 2: uh in the Mississippi Delta, along with uh Tomali's, which
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 2: you would not think would be a big Mississippi thing,
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 2: but apparently Tomali's are a big thing in the.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: Ever, been the quirkies. They have nice they have good
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 2: tamalies there. Okay, all right, speaking of that, the diarrhea
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 2: lettuce is getting worse. There are now multiple cases being
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: reported in the Memphis area. So just be upwinde wherever
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: the outbreak is.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 8: To me, I don't eat lettuce. Don't starting now.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 2: Don't don't. I still I still can't get over people
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: just they were like frozen. There must have been five
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: or six people frozen staring at the lettuce, and you
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 2: could tell they were calculating do I risk it? And
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: here I come, just marching in and grabbing it and going.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 8: I guarantee you they were googling is this the bad lettuce?
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 8: And they were taking a picture of the brand.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 2: No doubt about it. That's exactly what you know what,
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what they were doing.
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 8: And you just don't care in there.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: I don't care if I'm gonna you know, if I'm
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 2: gonna run. I got more drugs in my system. I'm good.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: I got a funny pantibiotics. Bring on the taco bell,
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: give me a chloopa?
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: I have not had the kool aid pickle, by the way,
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 2: So I am curious if anyone has had one of these.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 2: I'm curious to know what they taste like. But I
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 2: was channel surfing last night, Dylan, and I don't know why,
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 2: I came across the Great American Food Truck Race and
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: now I'm addicted to that.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a good show.
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: It is a good show. And there was a team
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 2: from Memphis, one of the one of the Asian restaurants.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 8: I know exactly which one you're talking.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 2: About, Fortune Cookie.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they were at the We have a Memphis Botanic
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 8: Gardens here and they were there. It's so good.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 2: It looked pretty amazing. So uh, this story from media eye,
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. We're having such a pleasant conversation about
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 2: kool aid pickles and multi colored chickens. I really hate
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 2: to I hate to spoil the moment, but Tommy Larin
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: from Fox News very upset at the Trump administration. And
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 2: here's the reason why. We've been telling you that something's
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 2: up with the mass deportations, and I don't think they
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 2: have been as mass as they have been telling us.
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 2: And it turns out that is actually true. So we
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: decided to run the numbers here. So ICE has now
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 2: reported officially they have deported three hundred and fifty six
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: thousand illegal immigrants in the fiscal year twenty twenty six.
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 2: All right, they originally told us they were going to
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 2: be deporting about three thousand a day. Then Mark Wayne
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 2: Mullen came in, and this is some breaking news here.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 2: Mark wayn Mullen came in our new Homeland Security secretary,
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: and he said they were dropping those numbers down to
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 2: two thousand a day. But when you actually run the numbers,
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 2: they're only deporting about nine hundred people a day. And
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of folks are just now beginning
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 2: to wake up. Tommy Larren said, I thought the administration
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 2: stood for America first and the American worker. As a
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 2: Trump voter, I know, I don't give one blank if
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 2: big corporations, if they maybe lose, if they risk losing
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 2: their surf labor class to rightful deportations. All of this,
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 2: quite frankly, is infuriating. Larren says she's a big fan
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 2: of the Borders Are Tom Holman, but has a problem
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 2: with how immigration officials have reported deportations, adding there seems
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 2: to be some fudging with the numbers going on. Well,
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 2: we've been saying that we need to tell Tommy to
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 2: start listening to the show. She would be informed on
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 2: all of this stuff because we've been talking about this
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 2: for ages. When somebody crosses the border, this is Tommy
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: is speaking. When somebody crosses the border and they say no, no, no,
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 2: no go back, they count that as a deportation or
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: an arrest. Well, that's insane. Can't be doing that. So anyway,
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 2: all that to say, the administration is not deporting the
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 2: numbers now they said they were deporting three thousand. Obama
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 2: was deporting eight thousand a day. Just to give you
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: some context here, So here's where we are, and if
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 2: you're taking notes, it's not a good place to be.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 2: So they're talking a good game, but are they delivering
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 2: on the promises? I know I mixed metaphors there, but
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: are they delivering the goods here? They made a lot
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 2: of promises to us, but are they just blowing smoke?
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 8: Now?
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 2: Not to mention the fact that we've got a full
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: blown war and there's no telling when that's going to
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 2: end up or how much that's going to cost us.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: But here's the reality. We're in a war. We can't
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 2: just leave our soldiers high and dry. We got to
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: make sure they have everything they need to fight the war,
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 2: which we thought was already one. And we've got to
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 2: destroy all of the stuff that we were told originally
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: had already been destroyed. So there you go. It's folks
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 2: getting a little frustrated out there. Folks getting a little frustrated,
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 2: and certainly the House of Representatives, they are very concerned
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 2: about the continuation of the war. Nine oh one two
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six. President Trump leaving Dover.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 2: And this is just classic Trump. So the President found
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: out the family of one of the one of the
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 2: fallen soldiers from the Army, first Lieutenant Tyler Fihenn. His
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 2: family was going to Georgia. They live in Georgia, and
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 2: the President was going to Georgia. So he offered to
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 2: fly them on Air Force one. And so that's what
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 2: they're doing now, the President taking Air Force one to
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 2: Georgia to bring the family members back home. And that
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 2: is certainly the compassionate side of President Trump. God bless you,
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: mister President. All Right, we've got to take a break here.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 2: Nino one two six zero five nine two six. A reminder,
• 1:44:26

• 1:45:08
  Speaker 2: at Calvary Champel, Chino Hills in southern California, and I'll

  Speaker 2: Sunday morning, three services back to back to back, and
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 2: then we'll be at another large church in the southern
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 2: California area. Back to Memphis and we'll be doing our
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 2: big We'll be doing a big book launch party as well.
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 2: And just got off the phone with the folks that
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 2: are going to be helping us out with that, and
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 2: it's going to be a lot of fun. We may
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 2: have to try to do something. We'll entice some of
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: our long distance folks to drop by for the big
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 2: book launch party.
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah, we should. We have to throw a flapper party,
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 8: because that's what it has to be.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 18: You know.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 2: I was talking to the Real Housewives of Germantown and
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 2: they're adamant that this has to be a dress up,
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 2: you know, nineteen twenties flapper style party. You know, guys,
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 2: you got to wear you know, dress up and everything.
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 8: I don't see why not just make a whole thing
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 8: out of it.
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it may as well.
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 8: The book is very great, guts be looking.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's a lot of fun. I was going
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 2: back through. I'm getting right by the way. I've got
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 2: to do the I've got to record the audio. I've
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 2: decided to do the audio version. We had that debate
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 2: last week or this week or whatever, and so but anyway,
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 2: I'll be and I was going through looking at the
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 2: It's just a great read, such great information. One of
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 2: the things we did a little different is we actually
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 2: took episodes from the National radio show and crafted those
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 2: as some chapters in the book, and it sort of
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 2: gives you sort of a real time feel. For example,
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 2: when I knew I wanted to write about the assassination
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 2: of Charlie Kirk, and so we decided to basically take
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 2: that moment as it happened in real time on the
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 2: radio show, and we repurposed that for the book. So
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 2: just to kind of give people a little bit of
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 2: of a feel of what the book is going to
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 2: be about. So it was a lot of fun, a
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 2: lot of a lot of folks. It's the endnotes, like
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 2: twenty pages of endnotes, so just a lot of sourcing
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: material for the book, The Golden Age, How Trump saved
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 2: America by the way, Dylan, I was. You know, we
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 2: had little Starns, who is now bigger than all of us.
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 2: But then we have baby Starns who is the youngest of.
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 8: Us, and he's also not a baby, No he's not.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 2: And he came into he he I got to text.
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 2: You know, you know, the kids, the teenagers, they're all
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 2: busy doing other stuff. They don't hang out with us
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 2: old fogies. And you're an old fogye.
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 8: Now though, So I hate this. Yeah, you go on.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 2: So anyway, I got a message it Hey can you
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 2: can I come over? I need to film like a
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 2: fight video. And I'm like, a what. And it turns
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 2: out he's like a mixed martial artist arts guy and
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 2: he's a fight and he's getting ready for his first
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 2: What is this like a professional fight?
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 8: Yes, this is a professional fight. He I think this
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 8: is his first one, so we're all gonna be rooting
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 8: for him. But yeah, he's doing the mixed martial arts.
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 8: I think there's also kickboxing involved in this, so it's
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 8: like a little bit of both.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 2: This is very exciting and I didn't realize that he
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 2: had like his own He's become like a superstar on Instagram.
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 8: I think he has more followers than all the people
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 8: that I know except for you.
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 2: But I don't know he is. I mean, his numbers
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 2: are climbing. Uh if you're if you're into boxing or fighting, Uh,
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 2: it's Cameron's Starnes. What's Cameron's it's an mm A. Yeah anyway,
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 2: it's uh, oh, yeah, it's it's Starn's mm A. That's

• 1:48:48
  Speaker 2: the kid has like a he needs to put a
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 2: shirt on right. We need to send a message people.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 8: They have to todd when you fight, you don't fight
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 8: with clothes on.
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 2: No, but well I know, but he's not fighting, he's posing.
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 2: This is he is the youngest. This is great. Cameron
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 2: Starns is the youngest pro fighter in Tennessee and he's
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 2: fighting at the bantam weight I guess is that the
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 2: is that the smallest? Wait?
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 8: So yeah, I could be mistaken, Oh it is.
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 2: It's kickboxing. Yeah, but he's got all these sponsors. He's like,
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 2: he's an influencer. Unbelievable, and he's gonna kick this guy's butt.
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 2: Apparently he's gone to he has to. Yeah, so we're
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 2: all going, are we all going? We have to go?
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 8: I think we have to go. This is his first fight.
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 8: We all have to show support.
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 2: This is sure.
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 8: His mother is not going to be very happy. Maybe
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 8: she's scared. I don't know. I had friends that fought
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 8: and all their mothers were terrified to watch them fight.
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 8: So we'll see.
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 2: Wow, baby Starns Starns MMA. We need to license that, Brandon.
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 8: I think I think he is.
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 2: Could we as a show sponsor camera like you know
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 2: how they do with an Ascar.
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 2: Right, Look good Liberty University sponsored an asscar.
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 8: I mean you are the owner, Todd.
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 2: Probably you know what we could like sponsor on the
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 2: on the gloves on one it says liberal and the
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 2: other tears great. This is exciting to see the next
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 2: generation of the family rising up and we fight liberals
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 2: on the air and Cameron fights them in the ring.
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah, we definitely missed that gene like I didn't. I
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 8: didn't ever want to fight anybody.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 2: So he he bears a striking resemblance to to my dad,
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 2: who would have been his great uncle. And my dad
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 2: back in when he was in high school was a
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 2: boxer and he was on his way to be He
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 2: was actually training for the Golden Globe, the Golden Gloves,
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 2: and they did a quick little I guess during the
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 2: checkup they discovered he had a bad heart as a teenager,
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 2: and so that pretty much ended his boxing career. But
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 2: dad was a ferocious boxer here in the Memphis area
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 2: back in the day. So it does, it does, it
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 2: really does. So yeah, you might have a little bit
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 2: of a fight in U Della.
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 8: Maybe who knows. Now I played in the band.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 2: Well, you can take your you know, guitar and you
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 2: know pound it with I don't know anyway, So anyway,
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 2: pardon us as we as we conduct a little bit
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 2: of family business. But we're super proud of Cameron and uh,
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 2: you know the work he's doing and man he's been
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 2: training and the youngest pro fighter in Tennessee and he's
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 2: our family. So how about that all right? Uh, nine
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six is
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 2: our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. That is shockingly going to wrap
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 2: it up for us. I just kind of talked out
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 2: the wazoo here for a little while, and we still
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 2: have a lot more ground to cover. We will do
