- 0:29Speaker 2: This is Todd Starns and it is great to be
- 0:33Speaker 2: back with you. Thank you for joining us today and
- 0:37Speaker 2: we're gonna have a good conversation over the next three hours.
- 0:41Speaker 2: Bordered a border coast to coast across the Fruited Plain. Wow,
- 0:47Speaker 2: jez A, lou America. What a wild what a wild
- 0:51Speaker 2: week or so it has been. And I just I
- 0:55Speaker 2: can't say enough good things about the the cavalcade of
- 1:00Speaker 2: that were that were filling in for me over the
- 1:04Speaker 2: past little while as I was recovering from a pretty
- 1:08Speaker 2: serious situation. And we'll talk about that in just a
- 1:13Speaker 2: few moments. But thank you so much for all of
- 1:17Speaker 2: the when I say thousands, really tens of thousands of
- 1:21Speaker 2: incredible notes that you guys sent me through social media,
- 1:25Speaker 2: through texting, and through emails. And I'm going to do
- 1:29Speaker 2: my best to try to answer everybody, but that may
- 1:31Speaker 2: be somewhat impossible. So I just want to say thank you,
- 1:35Speaker 2: and we certainly appreciate the great team here that kept
- 1:39Speaker 2: the train on the tracks as as I went through
- 1:43Speaker 2: my little health hiccup so last week and really for
- 1:49Speaker 2: the past a month or so, I had not been
- 1:51Speaker 2: feeling very well. And many of you know when I
- 1:54Speaker 2: was in my thirties, I had to have a pretty
- 1:56Speaker 2: major open heart surgery and had a mechanical aortic valve installed,
- 2:02Speaker 2: the Saint Jude valve, And as a result of that,
- 2:06Speaker 2: you know, I've had a pretty rough go of it
- 2:08Speaker 2: with the with the health over the years, and then
- 2:12Speaker 2: again over the past couple of months, feeling a little
- 2:15Speaker 2: uh weary and over the over the weekend the last weekend,
- 2:18Speaker 2: I was out trying to get some exercise, and I
- 2:21Speaker 2: realized that every I don't know, fifty feet or so,
- 2:24Speaker 2: and Dylan, you know the area quite well and a
- 2:26Speaker 2: beautiful Shelby Farms in Memphis, Tennessee, the largest or one
- 2:30Speaker 2: of the largest urban parks in America. We have our
- 2:34Speaker 2: own herd of bison. That's how large the thing is.
- 2:38Speaker 4: It is quite big. Yeah.
- 2:40Speaker 2: So if you're you know, again, if you're you know,
- 2:42Speaker 2: ever jogging in the area and you see bison, you're
- 2:45Speaker 2: not hallucinating. They're actually bison grazing there. Among other things.
- 2:50Speaker 2: I mean, there are people doing the goat yoga and
- 2:53Speaker 2: the little pig yoga and all that kind of stuff.
- 2:56Speaker 2: So anyway, every fifty yards I was getting out of breath,
- 2:58Speaker 2: and I thought, what is going on here? So I
- 3:00Speaker 2: sent my cardiologist a note and and so then I
- 3:05Speaker 2: didn't think much about it, didn't get a response. We
- 3:07Speaker 2: were doing the show, and I just fought my blood
- 3:09Speaker 2: pressure going up and up and up. And there was
- 3:11Speaker 2: really no reason we didn't get a lot of liberal
- 3:13Speaker 2: calls that day. I you know, there was no reason
- 3:17Speaker 2: for my blood pressure to shoot up through the roof.
- 3:20Speaker 2: And so during the commercial break, I reached down to
- 3:23Speaker 2: my cardiologists. He says, get off the air and come
- 3:26Speaker 2: and come to the come to the office. And so
- 3:31Speaker 2: I think at that time my blood pressure was like
- 3:33Speaker 2: two hundred over one eleven. And he said, off to
- 3:37Speaker 2: the hospital you go. And from there I was sent
- 3:41Speaker 2: to Baptist East. You know, all the hospitals here are
- 3:44Speaker 2: like I think, religious hospitals, and you know I'm Southern Baptist,
- 3:48Speaker 2: so you know, if I got to go, I got
- 3:49Speaker 2: to go with my people, and the Baptist do a
- 3:52Speaker 2: pretty good job. So Dylan, this is what's really funny.
- 3:56Speaker 2: So when you when you're in a situation like that.
- 3:59Speaker 2: Cardiology just don't have hospital admitting procedures. So normally they
- 4:03Speaker 2: would call and they would pre arrange it, and you
- 4:05Speaker 2: would go and they would put you in the cardiac
- 4:07Speaker 2: care unit. I had to go to the er. That's
- 4:11Speaker 2: that's the process. And I was there. You're not gonna
- 4:14Speaker 2: believe that nine hours. Oh my nine hours and so on.
- 4:19Speaker 2: Are the pastors from our church cave this is great?
- 4:22Speaker 2: And he was somewhat stunned to see me. And it
- 4:26Speaker 2: was a dangerous emergency or I'm not gonna lie, it
- 4:28Speaker 2: was dangerous. I mean there was wild stuff going down,
- 4:32Speaker 2: and I made sure that I was in a corner
- 4:34Speaker 2: seat so I had the whole view of the just
- 4:38Speaker 2: in case, you know, people started shooting, I would be
- 4:41Speaker 2: able to, you know, do something, which was not much
- 4:44Speaker 2: just bleed out. I guess, I don't know. So anyway,
- 4:48Speaker 2: the pastor comes in and he says, you know, I
- 4:52Speaker 2: kind of figured they had like a special entrance for
- 4:54Speaker 2: folks like you, talking about celebrities. I said, not at Baptisty's.
- 4:58Speaker 2: We're all on the same boat here. So they had me.
- 5:01Speaker 2: I mean that was maybe in the ear for about
- 5:03Speaker 2: two hours in the waiting room, and then they had
- 5:05Speaker 2: me in a gurney for the like the other seven hours.
- 5:09Speaker 2: And Dylan, here's the crazy thing. I was in a
- 5:12Speaker 2: gurney that so I was technically unhoused. I think that's
- 5:16Speaker 2: the the gen Z term. So they were treating me.
- 5:20Speaker 2: They had no rooms in the hospital, and they had
- 5:23Speaker 2: me right outside of a literal crime scene, and there
- 5:28Speaker 2: were state troopers and there was this crazy woman who
- 5:32Speaker 2: had been arrested and chained to the bed. And so
- 5:35Speaker 2: then they bring me like a turkey sandwich and I'm like, well,
- 5:38Speaker 2: thank dinner and a show.
- 5:41Speaker 4: Yeah, you got the front row seat there.
- 5:43Speaker 2: I was pretty impressed. So anyway, right, no, it will.
- 5:48Speaker 2: I was like, wow, how about that? And so and
- 5:51Speaker 2: I was like getting visitors and I'm like, the two
- 5:54Speaker 2: of my favorite people in the world. We called them
- 5:56Speaker 2: the the real Housewives of Germantown. And they they came
- 5:59Speaker 2: rushing in and I'm like, how did you get in?
- 6:01Speaker 2: They don't allow people who are not family back. They said,
- 6:03Speaker 2: we told them we were your doctors. They were using
- 6:07Speaker 2: like medical jargon or something.
- 6:10Speaker 3: We're here to see our patient. Todd starts stat.
- 6:13Speaker 5: Stat get me a Stessa stethoscope and the next thing
- 6:19Speaker 5: you know, they were ushering them through telling you could
- 6:22Speaker 5: have said, I've got a thermometer.
- 6:24Speaker 2: They want to let you through.
- 6:25Speaker 4: I didn't even think about that.
- 6:26Speaker 3: Yeah, a genius, But can I tell you through the
- 6:29Speaker 3: whole thing?
- 6:30Speaker 2: And I had to have this thing called a cardiac
- 6:32Speaker 2: can or is out if you guys have a cardiac
- 6:34Speaker 2: cath But they go through your wrist and it's quite
- 6:37Speaker 2: the adventure. But anyway, I'm ninety percent blockage in the
- 6:41Speaker 2: artery and that they said, it's like the widow Maker.
- 6:44Speaker 2: So the cardioge like, dude, he says, I don't know
- 6:48Speaker 2: how much you've been given in the offering plate, but
- 6:51Speaker 2: you better double it because I came close to, you know,
- 6:55Speaker 2: not being with us on last Friday. And so anyway,
- 7:00Speaker 2: they got me all patched up and we've had a
- 7:02Speaker 2: few complications and I'm bruised up quite a bit. But
- 7:07Speaker 2: the good story, I guess, the bottom line here is
- 7:11Speaker 2: that I'm gonna be okay. And I love that, and
- 7:15Speaker 2: I'm very thankful for that. I'm very blessed for that,
- 7:18Speaker 2: and I'm blessed to have a wonderful family and an
- 7:21Speaker 2: incredible staff. Here at the at the radio station and
- 7:24Speaker 2: our network and all of you great listeners who have
- 7:28Speaker 2: been such a great encouragement to me and.
- 7:33Speaker 6: Dylan.
- 7:33Speaker 2: There are so many life experiences, but I do feel
- 7:37Speaker 2: one source of great regret, and it has been troubling
- 7:42Speaker 2: me and I have not been sleeping well. And I
- 7:44Speaker 2: thought it was because of all of this, but I
- 7:46Speaker 2: think has just been something that I really have to
- 7:49Speaker 2: confess to our national radio audience. And it's a tough thing,
- 7:54Speaker 2: you know, for a talk show. You know, we're pretty
- 7:56Speaker 2: open on this show, I think, right. I mean, we
- 7:59Speaker 2: kind of talk about everything on this program.
- 8:02Speaker 4: We're pretty honest.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and so, but you know, there's always a
- 8:08Speaker 2: part of you that you don't want to share, you know,
- 8:10Speaker 2: with the listening audience. And I was thinking a lot
- 8:14Speaker 2: about that, and I thought, you know, I got to
- 8:16Speaker 2: make this right because I have made a pretty serious mistake,
- 8:21Speaker 2: a pretty grave mistake, and I think it has to
- 8:23Speaker 2: be it has to be addressed, and before we that's
- 8:26Speaker 2: why I wanted to start the show with this. Get
- 8:28Speaker 2: it out of the way, you know, like I don't know,
- 8:31Speaker 2: you know, the New York Times, when they make a mistake,
- 8:33Speaker 2: they put the story on the front page right, and
- 8:37Speaker 2: then they like bury it, like you know, the correction
- 8:41Speaker 2: on page seventy two. So I wanted to get this
- 8:44Speaker 2: out in the first segment of the of the show,
- 8:48Speaker 2: and I want you to just I know a lot
- 8:49Speaker 2: of you folks are at lunch hour on the East Coast,
- 8:51Speaker 2: so just just pause for just a moment and hear
- 8:55Speaker 2: my own this. I am just extremely, extremely sorry, and
- 9:00Speaker 2: I want to apologize truly from the bottom of my
- 9:04Speaker 2: well flawed heart. I want to apologize because I really, truly,
- 9:13Speaker 2: with all of my heart, I really did believe that
- 9:18Speaker 2: gravy was a lubricant. I really did. I had no idea.
- 9:26Speaker 2: They did pop my hood and they found gravy on
- 9:28Speaker 2: that dipstick. Nine oh one two six zero five nine

- 9:50Speaker 2: My doctor. I'm like, geez, I'm like all this time,
- 9:54Speaker 2: all this time. I mean, first date, I really did
- 9:58Speaker 2: believe that the TV ads that pork was the other
- 10:00Speaker 2: white beat, which it's not. And then that sausage gravy.
- 10:05Speaker 2: It really does lump up. Who would have thought? All right?

- 12:20Speaker 2: of what I can no longer have. I appreciate that,
- 12:23Speaker 2: you know, Dylan, I have. I've been to parts of
- 12:26Speaker 2: the supermarket I did not even know existed.
- 12:29Speaker 10: Yeah, there's a lot of different colors, you know, in
- 12:31Speaker 10: certain sections of vegetables and fruits.
- 12:35Speaker 4: I myself in the same way.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Do you know they make something called low fat milk.
- 12:39Speaker 4: Have you heard about this, man, Yeah, don't get me
- 12:41Speaker 4: started on milk.
- 12:42Speaker 2: It's basically you know how they have chalk, you know,
- 12:45Speaker 2: the old chalkboard. Yes, and it's like they put the
- 12:48Speaker 2: chalk in a blender and poured water in it, and
- 12:50Speaker 2: that's pretty much low fat milk.
- 12:51Speaker 4: That's what you're drinking.
- 12:52Speaker 2: Yeah, which I poured on something called Cascadia Farms Heart
- 12:57Speaker 2: Healthy granola. What I noticed I noticed yesterday at breakfast.
- 13:04Speaker 2: I started to after two days of eating that granola,
- 13:07Speaker 2: I started to lean left just a little bit. So,
- 13:10Speaker 2: I don't know what that's all about.
- 13:11Speaker 4: You were you searching up?
- 13:14Speaker 2: No, No, it was not.
- 13:17Speaker 4: You're not too far gone.
- 13:18Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't parallel park. So look, here's the So
- 13:23Speaker 2: here's the I'm not sure what that means. So look,
- 13:26Speaker 2: here's the deal. I have to share this one more story,
- 13:28Speaker 2: and we're going to get to the news of the
- 13:29Speaker 2: day in the next segment. But I've got to I've
- 13:31Speaker 2: got to share this with you folks. So it is
- 13:34Speaker 2: so painful in that hospital. They're poking and prodding me
- 13:37Speaker 2: all over the place. And they came in and they
- 13:41Speaker 2: do the mood light. They have mood lighting in these
- 13:43Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's a Baptist hospital, so I was
- 13:46Speaker 2: kind of surprised, but they got the mood lighting. So anyway,
- 13:50Speaker 2: I guess it was like four thirty five o'clock in
- 13:52Speaker 2: the morning, and the nurse comes in and she just
- 13:55Speaker 2: slightly slightly begins to like raise the lights, and I thought,
- 14:02Speaker 2: I I thought her, is that Isaac Hayes at Baptist
- 14:07Speaker 2: East Hospital? And she said, good morning, Todd, and I'm like,
- 14:13Speaker 2: good morning, nurse, and she brings the lights up a
- 14:18Speaker 2: little bit more Dylaan true story, True story. And I'm
- 14:24Speaker 2: looking at her and she's this is terrible. She's holding
- 14:29Speaker 2: like I know, these motions and she's she's got something else.
- 14:36Speaker 2: And I couldn't see it because, you know, the lights
- 14:38Speaker 2: were just still dim and I'm thinking, why does Isaac
- 14:43Speaker 2: Hayes play at Baptist East Hospital? And then I saw it.
- 14:51Speaker 2: She kept walking closer and closer, and I know, I
- 14:54Speaker 2: was still sort of groggy, and she was just quite
- 14:57Speaker 2: frankly a little sultry, kept like, I don't know what
- 15:00Speaker 2: was at the Methodist hospital, and then I suddenly realized
- 15:05Speaker 2: what she handed then and the other arm Deela in
- 15:09Speaker 2: the other hand, she was holding a bit razor. And
- 15:16Speaker 2: I realized something in just about thirty seconds that when
- 15:20Speaker 2: the nurse comes in and there's mood lighting and Pisy
- 15:23Speaker 2: Cayes playing over the intercom system and your nurse has
- 15:26Speaker 2: lotions and a razor, it ain't sponde at Baptist Y's Hospital.
- 15:31Speaker 2: I'm just telling you, Wow.
- 15:34Speaker 10: You do have to set the move for those things.
- 15:36Speaker 10: They can't just go in and know and just do it. No, Well,
- 15:39Speaker 10: I understand her the meaning.
- 15:41Speaker 2: And here's here's what I didn't understand afterwards. And I
- 15:44Speaker 2: did ask this as they were we can we're done
- 15:46Speaker 2: with Isaac Cays now, here's sure. Here's here's the worst
- 15:51Speaker 2: part of the story. And it didn't dawn on me
- 15:54Speaker 2: until I got home, and I actually I actually emailed
- 15:58Speaker 2: the hospital about this and I said, I need to
- 16:00Speaker 2: get some I need to get some information here and
- 16:05Speaker 2: here's the here's the thing. They did all of that,
- 16:08Speaker 2: and let me tell you, it's a little breezy. And
- 16:13Speaker 2: they went in through the wrist.
- 16:15Speaker 3: Sound like, what was the point?
- 16:18Speaker 2: What was the point.
- 16:21Speaker 4: All that wrist hair you got? Clearly?
- 16:25Speaker 2: Well it is now you know, it grows back like
- 16:27Speaker 2: you know what, three or four times as much. So
- 16:30Speaker 2: I'm gonna have like a I'm going to like a
- 16:32Speaker 2: bear coming out of the shirt now. No, no, we're
- 16:34Speaker 2: gonna have to photoshop at or something. So anyway, all
- 16:38Speaker 2: that to say, for those of you are still listening,
- 16:42Speaker 2: I want to think, by the way, the great folks
- 16:44Speaker 2: at Baptisty's Hospital. I have never been so well taken
- 16:48Speaker 2: care of. As a matter of fact, the president of
- 16:50Speaker 2: the hospital came down to visit and I just had
- 16:53Speaker 2: to brag on the entire staff. There was one sweet
- 16:57Speaker 2: lady and she was there all the time, the over nurse,
- 17:00Speaker 2: and she made sure anything I needed I was able
- 17:04Speaker 2: to get. And her name was mo Niesha, and just
- 17:07Speaker 2: a wonderful job. And all of the doctors, and of
- 17:11Speaker 2: course my doctor, the Stern Cardiovascular if Really we have
- 17:15Speaker 2: some of the finest doctors and medical facilities in the
- 17:19Speaker 2: Mid South and really in America, right here in the
- 17:22Speaker 2: Mid South. And I just can't say enough good things
- 17:25Speaker 2: about all of those great people. So thank you all

- 19:10Speaker 2: I've I have been keeping up with as much as
- 19:13Speaker 2: possible with the news. That the doctor told me, you know,
- 19:16Speaker 2: you got to turn off the TV and you got
- 19:18Speaker 2: to turn off the social media's and I think that
- 19:20Speaker 2: may be even more stressful. So he said, all right,
- 19:23Speaker 2: you can, you know, get back to the news. And
- 19:26Speaker 2: I saw this interesting story. This polling data is out,
- 19:30Speaker 2: came out late yesterday. President Trump's approval ratings are beginning
- 19:36Speaker 2: to are beginning to be impacted by the war. Now.
- 19:41Speaker 2: According to the new mayorast poll, sixty percent of adult
- 19:47Speaker 2: American voters disapprove of how President Trump is handling Iran.
- 19:52Speaker 2: That is up fifty four percent in March. And I
- 19:55Speaker 2: believe that these numbers may be somewhat low. And the
- 20:02Speaker 2: reason why is, according to the Mayor's poll, more than
- 20:05Speaker 2: seven to ten Republicans approve of the President's approach. And
- 20:09Speaker 2: I'm questioning those numbers. I think those numbers are actually
- 20:13Speaker 2: a little smaller. And I say that because most of
- 20:16Speaker 2: the Generation Z MAGA voters, and I would throw in
- 20:21Speaker 2: the millennials. So let's just say Gen Z and millennial voters,
- 20:24Speaker 2: who made a pretty good chunk of President Trump's victory
- 20:27Speaker 2: numbers in November, strongly oppose the war in Iran. Sixty
- 20:33Speaker 2: one percent of Americans say US military action in Iran
- 20:37Speaker 2: has done more harm than good. Sixty two percent of
- 20:41Speaker 2: Americans thinking the US role in the world stage has
- 20:43Speaker 2: been weakened to President Trump's decisions. I don't buy that.
- 20:47Speaker 2: I don't buy that part of the polling data. Twenty
- 20:51Speaker 2: two percent of Americans believe the US's position globally has
- 20:55Speaker 2: deteriorated due to the president's actions. Now, this is where
- 21:01Speaker 2: it gets interesting, because again.
- 21:03Speaker 11: The war.
- 21:04Speaker 2: These numbers don't matter if this war can get wrapped up.
- 21:08Speaker 2: But here's the big problem, and it's a challenge for
- 21:11Speaker 2: the president. This is going to go on forever. And
- 21:15Speaker 2: the problem is nobody knows how to end this thing,
- 21:20Speaker 2: and they're just going to let this linger. And I
- 21:23Speaker 2: don't think that's good. I think there has to be
- 21:25Speaker 2: some sort of a resolution here. And I know a
- 21:27Speaker 2: number of you folks called in early on and you
- 21:30Speaker 2: said that you were very concerned about this, about a
- 21:34Speaker 2: forever war. Now some of some folks are saying, well,
- 21:39Speaker 2: you know what, it's not forever wars because it's only
- 21:42Speaker 2: been what eight weeks? Ten weeks. Yes, but they promised
- 21:44Speaker 2: it was only going to be at a four to
- 21:46Speaker 2: five week war. But that's not the Those numbers go away.
- 21:51Speaker 2: If the war ends, that doesn't matter anymore. People have
- 21:54Speaker 2: short term memory. These are the numbers that I'm concerned about.
- 21:59Speaker 2: A majority of a mayor can say their local cost
- 22:02Speaker 2: of living is not very affordable. That's forty four percent
- 22:06Speaker 2: or some saying it's not affordable at all. That's up
- 22:10Speaker 2: from twenty six percent around the holidays. A majority of
- 22:15Speaker 2: Republicans fifty one percent say the local cost of living
- 22:19Speaker 2: is affordable. Nearly half of Democrats say it's not very affordable.
- 22:24Speaker 2: A majority of Independence fifty one percent say the area
- 22:28Speaker 2: they live not very affordable. That's a big deal because
- 22:33Speaker 2: it's always about the economy, always about the economy. More
- 22:37Speaker 2: than six in ten say the economy is not working
- 22:39Speaker 2: well for them personally. Thirty seven percent believe the economy
- 22:44Speaker 2: is benefiting them. Are you Are you connecting to any
- 22:48Speaker 2: of these numbers? Does this? Are you feeling this for example?
- 22:51Speaker 2: And I'd love to hear from folks around the country
- 22:55Speaker 2: to see what you guys are dealing with as far
- 22:58Speaker 2: as price is going up, gas gas prices going up,
- 23:01Speaker 2: grocery prices going up. I know in California at the
- 23:05Speaker 2: during the debate a couple of nights ago, you know,
- 23:08Speaker 2: the Democrats were blaming Donald Trump for the high price
- 23:10Speaker 2: of gasoline. And God loves Steve Hilton because Hilton got
- 23:14Speaker 2: out there and said, wait a second, Donald Trump has
- 23:17Speaker 2: nothing to do with the cost of gasoline being high.
- 23:20Speaker 2: The reason why California has the highest gas prices is
- 23:23Speaker 2: because of all of the state imposed fees and regulations
- 23:28Speaker 2: imposed by the Democrats. But I am curious if any
- 23:33Speaker 2: of you are connecting with these numbers. More than eight
- 23:36Speaker 2: in ten people are feeling pain at the gas pomp.
- 23:41Speaker 2: They say that it has either been a major strain
- 23:44Speaker 2: on them thirty three percent, minor strain forty eight percent
- 23:48Speaker 2: on their household budget. So who do Americans blame for
- 23:52Speaker 2: the increase in gas prices? Well, sixty three percent of
- 23:55Speaker 2: residents say a great deal or a good amount of
- 23:59Speaker 2: blame goes on President Trump. And that includes, well, no
- 24:03Speaker 2: surprise here, eighty nine percent of Democrats, thirty two percent
- 24:07Speaker 2: of Republicans, and here's the number we've got to be
- 24:09Speaker 2: focused on. Sixty three percent of independence thirty seven percent
- 24:15Speaker 2: placed little or no blame for the increased gas prices
- 24:18Speaker 2: on the president. And again the war goes away, those
- 24:21Speaker 2: gas prices are going to plummet now, according to the poll,
- 24:29Speaker 2: on a generic congressional ballot, and here's where it's going
- 24:32Speaker 2: to get interesting, and Kevin McCarthy's got some things to
- 24:35Speaker 2: say about this. On a generic congressional ballot, Democrats are
- 24:40Speaker 2: going to pick up ten congressional seats. They do that,
- 24:44Speaker 2: they take control of the House of Representatives. A majority
- 24:47Speaker 2: of registered voters nationally, fifty two percent say they are
- 24:51Speaker 2: more likely to vote for the Democrat on the ballot
- 24:53Speaker 2: in their district than the Republican. Four percent say they
- 24:57Speaker 2: plan to support another candidate, two percent not sure. When
- 25:02Speaker 2: last reported in March, the Democrat on the ballot was
- 25:05Speaker 2: nine percentage points against the Republican candidate. Among independent voters,
- 25:10Speaker 2: the Democrats were getting forty nine to thirty seven percent
- 25:13Speaker 2: for the Republican and those are some of the interesting numbers. Now,
- 25:19Speaker 2: look three and four enthusiastic about the upcoming midterm elections?
- 25:25Speaker 2: Are you looking forward to the midterm elections? You know
- 25:29Speaker 2: that we've been talking a lot about on this program
- 25:32Speaker 2: about the momentum. Who's got the big mo And I
- 25:35Speaker 2: still think that the Republicans had the momentum. I mean,
- 25:39Speaker 2: it's they're in shambles right now.
- 25:42Speaker 3: It's a mess.
- 25:42Speaker 2: It's a big mess, but it's even worse on the
- 25:46Speaker 2: Democrat side. And if we can just make sure that
- 25:50Speaker 2: our mess does not get larger than the Democrat mess,
- 25:54Speaker 2: then I think we're going to be okay. And I
- 25:56Speaker 2: actually think we're going to be able to maintain control.
- 26:00Speaker 2: And I just want to hear from you. What do
- 26:01Speaker 2: you think the Republicans need to do to maintain control
- 26:06Speaker 2: of Congress. I know Kevin McCarthy's out there and we're
- 26:10Speaker 2: going to get some audio from him in just a
- 26:12Speaker 2: little while, But Kevin McCarthy is really really riled up
- 26:16Speaker 2: about this, and he's blaming House leadership. Well, I don't
- 26:20Speaker 2: think that's the place to blame right now. If you
- 26:23Speaker 2: want to look for somebody to blame. You better look
- 26:24Speaker 2: at John Thune and those folks over in the Republican
- 26:27Speaker 2: controlled Senate. All that to say, if all of this
- 26:33Speaker 2: data is true, and I think some of it is,
- 26:36Speaker 2: I think there is a voter apathy issue with Republican voters.
- 26:41Speaker 2: We're seeing this an election after election, and at primary
- 26:44Speaker 2: after primary. I think there's Republican voters are demoralized. Republican
- 26:49Speaker 2: voters that they want to get behind these candidates. You
- 26:52Speaker 2: guys sent them to Washington, and they made us promises,
- 26:55Speaker 2: and once again they've turned their back on it. And
- 27:01Speaker 2: they keep telling us, give us one more chance, and
- 27:05Speaker 2: many of you are tired of that. But in spite
- 27:07Speaker 2: of all of this, I still think we're going to
- 27:09Speaker 2: be able to win in the fall. And I shudder.
- 27:15Speaker 2: And here's the reason why I'm hoping. We can't imagine.
- 27:18Speaker 2: We cannot. We just cannot allow these Democrats to win
- 27:22Speaker 2: back Congress. We can't do it. The President's agenda comes
- 27:26Speaker 2: to a grinding halt. So anyway, curious to hear it,
- 27:29Speaker 2: thought Joe, We've got to take a quick break. But
- 27:32Speaker 2: again this polling data, are you feeling the price pinch?
- 27:36Speaker 2: And what do Republicans need to do to guarantee your
- 27:40Speaker 2: vote and also to light a fire under you to
- 27:43Speaker 2: get out and vote. Our telephone number nine oh one
- 27:46Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh
- 27:49Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six. Our segment
- 27:53Speaker 2: to day, brought to you by our good friends at Newsmax.
- 27:56Speaker 2: A new study finds that seventy percent of Americans are
- 28:00Speaker 2: not getting the full benefits they deserve from Social Security.
- 28:04Speaker 2: You know, seventy million of you folks are already getting Social
- 28:06Speaker 2: Security benefits. But there are some simple strategies that you
- 28:12Speaker 2: can use to boost your Social Security benefits. Get this
- 28:15Speaker 2: by as much as one hundred and eighty eight thousand
- 28:17Speaker 2: dollars over a lifetime. A social security expert, Michael Allen
- 28:22Speaker 2: says this is true, and he reveals all five of
- 28:25Speaker 2: these key strategies. It's in his free special report. Newsmax says.
- 28:30Speaker 2: The report is your best guide for bigger social Security benefits.
- 28:34Speaker 2: I want you to give them a call. Write down
- 28:36Speaker 2: this number, eight hundred ninety six ninety again, that number
- 28:41Speaker 2: eight hundred ninety six ninety. We're going to text it
- 28:45Speaker 2: to you right away and get that information to you
- 28:47Speaker 2: courtesy of our friends at Newsmax. I'll say the number
- 28:50Speaker 2: one more time. Eight hundred nine nine nine ninety six
- 28:54Speaker 2: ninety all right. I want you, by the way, to
- 29:05Speaker 2: get yourself a pre ordered copy of my brand new book.
- 29:08Speaker 2: It's called The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America. You
- 29:11Speaker 2: can get a copy online. You can pre order at
- 29:14Speaker 2: your favorite bookstore Barnes, Noble Books, a million of course Amazon,
- 29:18Speaker 2: and order as many as you possibly can. I want
- 29:22Speaker 2: you to read this book because it includes not only
- 29:26Speaker 2: a celebration of what God has already done through Donald
- 29:29Speaker 2: Trump for our nation, but what lies ahead. So I
- 29:33Speaker 2: hope you get a copy of The Golden Age, How
- 29:36Speaker 2: Trump Saved America. All right, let's go to the phone lines.
- 29:39Speaker 2: Randy and Helen Georgia listening to us on WDUN. Hi, Randy,
- 29:44Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
- 29:47Speaker 12: Ah?
- 29:47Speaker 7: I wanted to respond to your questions. Number one was
- 29:50Speaker 7: about the photing. I'm sixty eight and over the decades,
- 29:55Speaker 7: I have been appalled at our most valuable civic duty.
- 29:58Speaker 7: People take it so care and I think if Republicans
- 30:02Speaker 7: would vote, we wouldn't have a problem. We could win
- 30:05Speaker 7: these things. And they're just not voting, and they're just
- 30:08Speaker 7: staying home and then they want to complain about it.
- 30:10Speaker 7: And the other thing was are we feeling the pinch? Yeah, somewhat.
- 30:14Speaker 7: My wife and I retired, we're both on Social Security,
- 30:18Speaker 7: so we're doing okay. But making long story short, thank
- 30:22Speaker 7: god for Governor Kemp here in Georgia. He's like, for
- 30:25Speaker 7: a second or third time, has taken the the gas
- 30:30Speaker 7: tax away so they could be better. Stakes are just unaffordable,
- 30:34Speaker 7: and you know, a lot of things like that. But
- 30:36Speaker 7: we're getting by and concerning what's going on Iran, I
- 30:40Speaker 7: think most Americans are more than willing to take a
- 30:43Speaker 7: short term pinch for long term benefits, you know, and
- 30:48Speaker 7: and have this Iranian problem, uh, you know, gone for good.
- 30:52Speaker 7: So that's that's my post.
- 30:54Speaker 13: You know.
- 30:55Speaker 2: It's interesting that CNN had some pulling data out today
- 30:58Speaker 2: and and they're there's showing that that Trump is not
- 31:02Speaker 2: losing Republican support, you know, and this is not a
- 31:05Speaker 2: Trump issue as much as it is a congressional issue.
- 31:09Speaker 2: And the congressional Republicans are just not doing they're not
- 31:14Speaker 2: doing their job, and they're not doing things to motivate
- 31:17Speaker 2: the base. And I think that's that's one of the
- 31:19Speaker 2: ways that voters are expressing their disapproval is that, you know,
- 31:23Speaker 2: they're just somewhat demoralized. But I don't care how demoralized
- 31:29Speaker 2: somebody is. Randy, we cannot allow the Democrats to retake
- 31:34Speaker 2: Congress in the fall. We just can't do that.
- 31:37Speaker 7: And I'll tell you this one last thing. That's why
- 31:40Speaker 7: we voted for Trump because he does what he says.
- 31:43Speaker 7: You know, he may he may need just to keep
- 31:45Speaker 7: his mouth shut. Sometimes some of the statements are crazy,
- 31:48Speaker 7: but his policies are spot onwned. But make a long
- 31:50Speaker 7: story short, you have policies ready to go, and you
- 31:53Speaker 7: have a Congress, you have several rhinos, and if they
- 31:57Speaker 7: can find a way to lose, they're going to find it.
- 31:59Speaker 7: And it's just amazing.
- 32:01Speaker 2: Randy, thank you for the call. Let's go to Statesville,
- 32:04Speaker 2: North Carolina, WSEs WSIZ Charles, what's on your mind today?
- 32:11Speaker 8: Hey, Todd, welcome back and we's see recovery there.
- 32:15Speaker 2: My friend, Charles, thank you and thank you for your
- 32:17Speaker 2: kind note you sent me. I really appreciated that.
- 32:21Speaker 14: Oh you're welcome.
- 32:23Speaker 8: So Tod, here's my take. There's a couple of things
- 32:26Speaker 8: I think the Republicans need to do. Number one, to
- 32:30Speaker 8: win the midterms, we need to pass to say that,
- 32:32Speaker 8: not just to secure elections for Trump to show his base,
- 32:38Speaker 8: and he's willing to go to the mat form even
- 32:40Speaker 8: if it needs calling in a special legislative session of.
- 32:43Speaker 14: The Senate to get it done. I mean, with eighty
- 32:46Speaker 14: percent of the voters out there supporting that, there's just
- 32:50Speaker 14: no reason that it shouldn't get done. And this is
- 32:53Speaker 14: just once again, our Republican leadership in the Senate, John Thune,
- 32:58Speaker 14: is just messing things up, and people are just frustrated.
- 33:02Speaker 14: And secondly, Todd, you know, the American people will put
- 33:06Speaker 14: up with a lot, They'll make a lot of sacrifices.
- 33:10Speaker 14: But one thing that the American people are not going
- 33:14Speaker 14: to put up with long term is if you make
- 33:16Speaker 14: them poor, you may them pour through higher gas prices,
- 33:20Speaker 14: which results in higher food prices and everything else that
- 33:23Speaker 14: Americans have to struggle economically. Right now, Todd, I'm seeing
- 33:28Speaker 14: that with a lot of my friends. I mean they're
- 33:31Speaker 14: telling me this, you know, privately, that they are really struggling.
- 33:35Speaker 8: And in my.
- 33:36Speaker 14: Opinion, the one thing that is that is keeping Trump's
- 33:39Speaker 14: poll numbers up right now among his base and it
- 33:43Speaker 14: could go away quickly, is if there's like a ten
- 33:47Speaker 14: or fifteen thousand correction on the dal Jones and people
- 33:51Speaker 14: see their four to oh one ks go.
- 33:52Speaker 8: Down the tube.
- 33:54Speaker 14: If that happens, then you combine that with the high
- 33:56Speaker 14: gas prices that we have. Now I'm afraid may be
- 34:00Speaker 14: looking at something that happened in two thousand and eight
- 34:02Speaker 14: when you had a horrific candidate in John McCain and
- 34:07Speaker 14: the alternative was Barack Obama. I mean, what the Democrats
- 34:10Speaker 14: are offering Todd is nothing but communism, mark fism, socialism.
- 34:15Speaker 7: It's the worst of all possible.
- 34:17Speaker 8: World in my opinions. But the one.
- 34:19Speaker 14: Thing that could put ten in power is that Republicans
- 34:23Speaker 14: don't Republicans don't do something now in this war as
- 34:26Speaker 14: soon as possible and get this economy going in the
- 34:29Speaker 14: right direction.
- 34:30Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, Look, I hear you on that. And
- 34:33Speaker 2: these are all quick fixes here. And first of all, Iran,
- 34:37Speaker 2: and I know you disagree with me on this, but
- 34:39Speaker 2: Iran needed to be taken care of. The problem I
- 34:42Speaker 2: have is Iran was not taken care of immediately, and
- 34:47Speaker 2: we should have been able to go in there and
- 34:49Speaker 2: do what needed to be done in five to six
- 34:51Speaker 2: weeks or four to five weeks and get out of there.
- 34:55Speaker 2: That did not happen. And nobody really knows now why
- 34:59Speaker 2: we are over there and what's going on. Nobody knows
- 35:04Speaker 2: that that's a big problem. So the White House they're
- 35:07Speaker 2: going to figure this out. And if they don't, to
- 35:09Speaker 2: your point, this is going to lead to problems, especially
- 35:12Speaker 2: if this lingers on into the summer months. But I
- 35:15Speaker 2: want you to take a look, Charles, at what happened
- 35:18Speaker 2: in Indiana this week. The President of the United States
- 35:23Speaker 2: cleaned house in those state district races. What is it,
- 35:28Speaker 2: five out of the seven that he endorsed, those were
- 35:32Speaker 2: the anti Trump lawmakers who refused to redistrict. They're out
- 35:36Speaker 2: of jobs.
- 35:37Speaker 11: Now.
- 35:37Speaker 2: That tells me that the American people, and especially in
- 35:40Speaker 2: the heartland, are still supporting the president here. And it
- 35:44Speaker 2: also tells me that every single state has to do
- 35:49Speaker 2: unto the Democrats as they have done to us. And
- 35:53Speaker 2: we're going to be talking about the redistricting battles coming up, Charles,
- 35:57Speaker 2: but we have got to make sure that we're publicans
- 36:00Speaker 2: redistrict at the same rate that the Democrats are doing.
- 36:04Speaker 2: I'll give you the last word here. You got thirty seconds.
- 36:07Speaker 14: Yeah, one hundred percent, Todd, and as far as what
- 36:10Speaker 14: happened in Indiana, I wish and hope that Donald Trump
- 36:14Speaker 14: would take that same posture to John Thune and other
- 36:18Speaker 14: members in the US Senate and call for new leadership
- 36:22Speaker 14: or just you know, endorse the political candidate of you know,
- 36:28Speaker 14: like you endorse somebody, endorse Lindsey Graham's challenger, you know.
- 36:32Speaker 14: I mean, we've got to get rid of these rhinos,
- 36:35Speaker 14: and we've got to get this agenda codify and implement it.
- 36:38Speaker 14: And I think that if we do that and then
- 36:41Speaker 14: Trump will be fine in Republicans.
- 36:43Speaker 2: And win the midtront All right, Charles, I've got to
- 36:45Speaker 2: leave it there. Good to hear from you, my friend,
- 36:46Speaker 2: and thank you again for that kind note. We will
- 36:50Speaker 2: continue the conversation after this time of the hour news break.
- 36:54Speaker 2: In the meantime, I hope you head over to Todd

- 38:15Speaker 4: for you.
- 38:15Speaker 2: But by the way, they gave me a benadre. You know,
- 38:18Speaker 2: they gave me some benadryl. I don't do well with
- 38:19Speaker 2: the drugs, and so they put that stuff into my
- 38:23Speaker 2: IV and I am, you know, well again, guess what
- 38:28Speaker 2: I ended up hearing. I heard Isaac Hayes. I mean,
- 38:31Speaker 2: she's the nurse is there and she's squeezing this benadrill.
- 38:35Speaker 2: She says, all right, this is going to be a
- 38:37Speaker 2: little shock to your system there, and I'm like, well, Okay,
- 38:40Speaker 2: I'll see what I can do, and so I sort
- 38:43Speaker 2: of position myself. But all of a sudden, I hear
- 38:45Speaker 2: Isaac Hayes's music again, and honest to goodness, you could
- 38:49Speaker 2: feel Dylan to Benadrill like churning through your veins. And
- 38:54Speaker 2: I know we have doctor Robert. I know we have
- 38:56Speaker 2: doctor Robert Jeffer's of the line and I'm man have
- 38:58Speaker 2: to ripent for this in a minute. But all of
- 39:00Speaker 2: a sudden, I felt like I was having an out
- 39:04Speaker 2: of body experience. I felt like I was like lifting
- 39:08Speaker 2: off of the hospital bed. And the nurse is like, oh,
- 39:14Speaker 2: are you feeling it? And I'm like, oh, I'm feeling
- 39:16Speaker 2: a nurse. I'm feeling a nurse. And she told me,
- 39:20Speaker 2: she goes, just let go, just let go and enjoy.
- 39:26Speaker 5: I said, okay, okay.
- 39:30Speaker 3: And then and then I threw up.
- 39:33Speaker 2: So apparently I'm allergic to benadryl. So anyway, so much
- 39:38Speaker 2: for that.
- 39:39Speaker 4: Uh, let it all go.
- 39:45Speaker 3: All that to say, it's great to be.
- 39:46Speaker 2: Back with you. So anyway, I thought when I saw
- 39:50Speaker 2: this story, I thought I was still hallucinating from the benaderyl.
- 39:53Speaker 2: But there is a weird story going around about a
- 39:58Speaker 2: bunch of preachers and I don't any of these guys.
- 40:01Speaker 2: I think I may know one of them, I don't
- 40:02Speaker 2: know any of the rest of them. So here's how
- 40:04Speaker 2: the story goes on. I know many of you have
- 40:06Speaker 2: seen this. So these preachers were summoned to a Tennessee
- 40:13Speaker 2: airbnb to meet was secretly with government officials about space aliens.
- 40:21Speaker 2: And as they were meeting and talking about these space aliens,
- 40:27Speaker 2: they were told that they needed to start preparing their
- 40:30Speaker 2: congregations for this revelation. And you know, we've all been
- 40:36Speaker 2: waiting for the revelation of the UFOs and all the spaceships.
- 40:42Speaker 2: And one of the one of the preachers, said that
- 40:46Speaker 2: they were told of lizard people, lizard people that were
- 40:50Speaker 2: apparently like meeting with humans. I don't know what that's
- 40:54Speaker 2: all about. So anyway, now apparently one of the preachers
- 41:00Speaker 2: are sort of walking back all of these revelations. And
- 41:05Speaker 2: if you ask me, I'm wondering if maybe there was Idlo,
- 41:09Speaker 2: a big old jug at Tennessee sip and whiskey somewhere
- 41:12Speaker 2: in that airbnb. And because none of this makes sense
- 41:16Speaker 2: to me, but a lot of you have had questions
- 41:18Speaker 2: about aliens and all this other stuff. I wanted to
- 41:20Speaker 2: bring in our good friend, great American patriot, one of
- 41:23Speaker 2: the finest pastors in the world, doctor Robert Jeffers, from
- 41:27Speaker 2: the First Baptist Church in Dallas. Doctor Jeffers, hope, I
- 41:30Speaker 2: do apologize for that introduction, but I hope you're doing
- 41:34Speaker 2: well well.
- 41:35Speaker 9: Please don't apologize. I have one of those out of
- 41:38Speaker 9: body experiences every night after my pind of Hagendaws Vanilla,
- 41:43Speaker 9: so I know exactly what you're talking about. We all
- 41:47Speaker 9: have our saying yours in dinner Grail for sure. Hey, Tod, seriously,
- 41:51Speaker 9: we're all glad that you're doing better. We've been praying
- 41:54Speaker 9: for you, and welcome back.
- 41:55Speaker 2: Thank you, doctor Jeffers. Thank you. What do you make
- 41:58Speaker 2: of this story. It's the strangest story I've ever heard.
- 42:02Speaker 9: Well, I'm packed. I didn't get my invitation, you know,
- 42:06Speaker 9: to the Airbnb for the big summit, but you know,
- 42:10Speaker 9: I don't. I have no idea about that. I've not
- 42:13Speaker 9: heard about it, just heard what you have heard about it.
- 42:16Speaker 9: But it does, you know, bring up a bigger question
- 42:18Speaker 9: about aliens and is there some revelation coming to us
- 42:22Speaker 9: about aliens? I may surprise you about this Todd. But
- 42:27Speaker 9: actually I wouldn't be that surprised if there was something
- 42:31Speaker 9: to it. I don't think there is anything in the
- 42:34Speaker 9: Bible that prohibits aliens on other planets. People need to
- 42:41Speaker 9: remember this about the Bible. First of all, the Bible
- 42:44Speaker 9: tells us everything we need to know. And secondly, everything
- 42:47Speaker 9: the Bible tells us is true. But third the Bible
- 42:51Speaker 9: doesn't tell us everything. And we've got to accept that.
- 42:54Speaker 9: I mean, you know, in John's Gospel, John's Gospel closes
- 42:57Speaker 9: with there were many other things Jesus did. Then we're
- 43:00Speaker 9: recorded in this book, and there won't be a book,
- 43:04Speaker 9: and that's large enough to contain everything that he did.
- 43:08Speaker 9: I think it's true with information about the universe. God's
- 43:10Speaker 9: told us everything we need to know, but he doesn't
- 43:13Speaker 9: tell us everything we want to know necessarily.
- 43:17Speaker 2: So I've never heard anybody say that that, you know,
- 43:22Speaker 2: the Bible does. And I mean, when you think about it,
- 43:24Speaker 2: you're right. The Bible doesn't tell us about everything. But
- 43:28Speaker 2: wouldn't the Bible tell us something as big as that?
- 43:32Speaker 2: Because if in fact there are let's just say, all right,
- 43:35Speaker 2: for the sake of the argument, yeah, there is life
- 43:38Speaker 2: on other planets. How does that or does that change
- 43:41Speaker 2: or impact the Old Testament and the Creation story.
- 43:46Speaker 9: Not at all. I mean the first verse of Genesis
- 43:49Speaker 9: one is in the beginning, God created the heavens and
- 43:53Speaker 9: the Earth. That's a Hebrew expression, the heavens and the
- 43:56Speaker 9: earth for universe. The Hebrews didn't have a word that
- 43:59Speaker 9: income universe. Their's thing was the heavens and the Earth.
- 44:03Speaker 9: God created it all. Verse one and then verse two
- 44:07Speaker 9: centers on what was happening on planet Earth. Doesn't necessarily
- 44:11Speaker 9: tell us when there could be a large gap between
- 44:14Speaker 9: verses one and two the creation of the universe billions
- 44:17Speaker 9: of years ago, and then z ol men on what
- 44:20Speaker 9: happened on planet Earth. So again, the Bible doesn't tell
- 44:24Speaker 9: us everything. We would think that would be a big
- 44:26Speaker 9: deal that God should have told us if it's true,
- 44:30Speaker 9: But it's a big deal to us because we have
- 44:32Speaker 9: such a limited perspective. You know, I'm doing a series
- 44:35Speaker 9: on creation right now. Think of the size of the universe.
- 44:39Speaker 9: Our Milky Way galaxy is no bigger than a grain
- 44:43Speaker 9: of sand on the Sahara Desert compared to the vastness
- 44:47Speaker 9: of the universe. That's hard for us to comprehend. But
- 44:50Speaker 9: it shows you what a great God we have.
- 44:52Speaker 2: Well it does, and I do know that there are
- 44:56Speaker 2: many mysteries and things that we will really never know
- 45:00Speaker 2: the answer to. It's really fascinating. I've never heard this
- 45:05Speaker 2: explanation before, and I think it. I mean, it certainly
- 45:08Speaker 2: makes a lot of sense because a lot of people
- 45:09Speaker 2: it's either one extreme or the others, like, oh, they're
- 45:12Speaker 2: all demons, evil creatures. I think the Vice President, you know,
- 45:16Speaker 2: believes that to be the case. And then there are
- 45:18Speaker 2: others who believe know there really are extraterrestrial beings out there.
- 45:23Speaker 9: But here's what I want to be clear about. What
- 45:25Speaker 9: I need to know and what the Bible tells me
- 45:28Speaker 9: is I live on this planet and I have a
- 45:32Speaker 9: sin problem. I need God's forgiveness and thank God, God
- 45:37Speaker 9: sent his son Jesus Christ to this planet to pay
- 45:41Speaker 9: for my sins and offer me the hope of eternal life.
- 45:44Speaker 9: That's what I need to know.
- 45:46Speaker 2: Doctor Robert Jeffers is joining us, the pastor of First
- 45:48Speaker 2: Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas. You know, doctor Jeffers.
- 45:52Speaker 15: I know.
- 45:52Speaker 2: Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna has been encouraging Americans to read
- 45:57Speaker 2: something called The Book of Enoch. It is not part
- 46:01Speaker 2: of the Bible that we have in our churches. And
- 46:04Speaker 2: I'm wondering what's your take on that. Is that something
- 46:06Speaker 2: that maybe people should do.
- 46:10Speaker 9: You know, I've heard of the Book of Enoch, But
- 46:14Speaker 9: you know, what we need to understand is the canon
- 46:17Speaker 9: of the Bible, that is, the books that ought to
- 46:20Speaker 9: be in the Bible has been well settled for the
- 46:24Speaker 9: Old Testament. It was settled as early as four hundred BC.
- 46:30Speaker 9: The fact is, when Jesus walked the earth, there was
- 46:32Speaker 9: no question about the Old Testament. There's never been any
- 46:36Speaker 9: attempt to add any books to the Old Testament. The
- 46:40Speaker 9: Jews have recognized that as God's complete word in the
- 46:44Speaker 9: Old Testament the New Testament by three hundred or so AD.
- 46:49Speaker 9: There's never been any attempt to add some of these
- 46:51Speaker 9: spurious books or secondary books to the New Testament. So
- 46:56Speaker 9: I would say there may be some historical value in
- 46:59Speaker 9: reading that. There's nothing in the Book of Enoch that
- 47:02Speaker 9: you need to know that will help save your soul
- 47:04Speaker 9: for eternity.
- 47:05Speaker 2: So I'm and I guess there's really and I don't
- 47:08Speaker 2: think there's anything wrong with asking a lot of questions,
- 47:11Speaker 2: right about things like aliens and you know, and you know,
- 47:15Speaker 2: a lot of people focus on the Book of Revelation
- 47:17Speaker 2: and when Christ is coming back. But at the end
- 47:20Speaker 2: of the day, I don't think that's really the most
- 47:22Speaker 2: important part about our relationship with God.
- 47:25Speaker 9: Well it's not. I mean, God has created other planets,
- 47:29Speaker 9: other worlds and so forth. But our problem is this
- 47:33Speaker 9: world that I live in and I'm going to die
- 47:35Speaker 9: on and how do I get out from this world
- 47:38Speaker 9: to the next world.
- 47:39Speaker 2: I love, by the way, I have to tell you
- 47:41Speaker 2: when I was, you know, I go to the Baptist hospital.
- 47:43Speaker 2: I figure, if I'm going to go, I'm going to
- 47:45Speaker 2: be I'm going to be with my people. And it
- 47:48Speaker 2: was really cool. They actually say prayers over the entire
- 47:51Speaker 2: intercom system every day and through the entire hospitals.
- 47:55Speaker 9: I ever, watch out the Freedom from Religion fab we
- 48:00Speaker 9: just keep.
- 48:00Speaker 2: That among us Baptists. But doctor Jeffers, when you look
- 48:06Speaker 2: at what's happening, I want to switch gears just for
- 48:08Speaker 2: a second. In Texas. There has been just a lot
- 48:12Speaker 2: of concern about what's happening in Texas with the rise
- 48:15Speaker 2: of Islam, and you know, the Islamification of some towns
- 48:19Speaker 2: and communities, Sharia being you know, people trying to implement Sharia.
- 48:24Speaker 2: Are you hearing that? Is that? Is that a big
- 48:28Speaker 2: of a deal? As we are hearing on the national.
- 48:30Speaker 9: Stage, it seems to be growing. It seems to be
- 48:34Speaker 9: a problem. What's what the problem is is, on one hand,
- 48:39Speaker 9: we need to recognize the right of people to practice
- 48:42Speaker 9: their faith whoever they are. We don't want people telling
- 48:46Speaker 9: us as Christians what we can and cannot do in worshiping.
- 48:49Speaker 9: And there's a freedom of religious expression, but there's also
- 48:53Speaker 9: a limit to that in the sense that as a government,
- 48:57Speaker 9: the government can't allow people to break the law in
- 49:00Speaker 9: practice of their faith. And that's what's tricky here, because
- 49:07Speaker 9: you know, we don't want any regulations against free religious
- 49:11Speaker 9: expression boomeranging on us one day when they surely will.
- 49:16Speaker 9: But you know, there's an effort right now to at
- 49:20Speaker 9: a water park here in Dallas to have a Sharia
- 49:24Speaker 9: only Muslim only day there, and it looks like our
- 49:28Speaker 9: Texas government is fighting against that. But it's a tricky issue.
- 49:32Speaker 9: But very clearly, nobody has a right to practice a
- 49:37Speaker 9: face that hurts other people or discriminate to these other people.
- 49:40Speaker 2: Well said, well, doctor Jefferson, really appreciate your really God.
- 49:45Speaker 9: Yeah, put in a plug for Reddicate two fifty in Washington,
- 49:50Speaker 9: d C. Sunday, May seventeenth. I'm going to be speaking

- 51:07Speaker 2: All right, This segment of the program drawn to you
- 51:09Speaker 2: by our friends at Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian conservative
- 51:14Speaker 2: wireless carrier. And we love Patriot Mobile. You know, I've
- 51:18Speaker 2: heard from so many of you. I mean, gosh, we've
- 51:23Speaker 2: forgot about twenty five thirty messages from folks directly who
- 51:27Speaker 2: have said Todd made the switch and we love it.
- 51:30Speaker 2: They said, everything you said about Patriot Mobile was absolutely true. Well,
- 51:35Speaker 2: of course, why would I not Why would.
- 51:38Speaker 6: It not be true?
- 51:39Speaker 2: And I get it because if you've got a phone,
- 51:43Speaker 2: a cell phone, you know how difficult some of those
- 51:45Speaker 2: folks can be. And he never talked to anybody and
- 51:47Speaker 2: it takes forever. Well, the great thing about Patriot Mobile
- 51:51Speaker 2: is that their customer service team is based right here
- 51:54Speaker 2: in America, and they all speak English, and that is
- 51:57Speaker 2: worth it right there. But they keep so hassle free.
- 52:01Speaker 2: You can keep your number, you keep your phone, you
- 52:03Speaker 2: can upgrade. And again, all of all of the efforts
- 52:07Speaker 2: that Patriot Mobile is engaged in is to protect our
- 52:11Speaker 2: freedom and our liberty, and they're at all of the
- 52:14Speaker 2: the NRA shows the gun owners of America, all of
- 52:17Speaker 2: the pro life groups. They are deeply involved in the
- 52:21Speaker 2: America First movement. So I want you to go check
- 52:23Speaker 2: them out. Patriot Mobile dot com slash todd, that's Patriot

- 52:41Speaker 2: get you a free month of service. So nine seven
- 52:44Speaker 2: two Patriot or Patriot Mobile dot com slash todd. Well,
- 52:49Speaker 2: all you know what is breaking loose right now? At
- 52:52Speaker 2: the Tennessee State House in Nashville, the President of the
- 52:57Speaker 2: United States told Governor Bill Lee, we got to district
- 53:00Speaker 2: We've got to get rid of Steve Cohen's seat. Now,
- 53:04Speaker 2: many of our listeners in Memphis on KWAM, you know
- 53:07Speaker 2: all about Steve Cohen. This guy is He is really
- 53:12Speaker 2: a nasty piece of work, this guy. And he is
- 53:15Speaker 2: the Democrat representing the majority black city of Memphis, no
- 53:20Speaker 2: doubt about it, Memphis, majority black city. All right.
- 53:23Speaker 3: So anyway, the House.
- 53:26Speaker 2: Today officially approved a redistricting plan that breaks Memphis up
- 53:32Speaker 2: into three different congressional districts, eliminating Steve Cohen's position. So
- 53:40Speaker 2: he's going to get booted out of Congress. He will
- 53:43Speaker 2: probably get a job idle, working the counter at KFC
- 53:46Speaker 2: or driverther. I don't know that's Steve Cohen. He's just
- 53:51Speaker 2: not a very nice person. Now, all of these black
- 53:54Speaker 2: activists in Memphis are going insane, and they're accusing President
- 54:01Speaker 2: Trump of all sorts of things. This is justin Pearson.
- 54:05Speaker 2: Take a listen to I'm sorry, you know what. Hold on,
- 54:07Speaker 2: let's play Gloria Johnson. Let's listen to Gloria. She's a
- 54:11Speaker 2: white chick, but you'll get the flavor cut.
- 54:13Speaker 11: It is a lie. We do not have to be here.
- 54:17Speaker 11: We're costing our counties of fortune. We are making a
- 54:22Speaker 11: mockery of this body and of the state. We are
- 54:26Speaker 11: the shame of the nation and the shame of this state.
- 54:31Speaker 11: We are here to take away the voices of black
- 54:36Speaker 11: voters and the people of Memphis, to crack their districts
- 54:44Speaker 11: and delude their voices. You should be a shame. But
- 54:49Speaker 11: guess what I know that you're not. This is not
- 54:53Speaker 11: a special session. This is a white power rally and
- 54:57Speaker 11: a white power grab. That is what this is, and
- 55:02Speaker 11: you can deny it all you want, but the people
- 55:05Speaker 11: in this state know better. They don't want partisan jerrymandering.
- 55:09Speaker 11: They don't want jerry mandering by race. They don't want
- 55:12Speaker 11: any of it.

- 57:27Speaker 16: Complete chaos in the capitol yesterday and. Today the protesters
- 57:33Speaker 16: running around the, hallways beating on. Doors they had to
- 57:36Speaker 16: remove them from the committee, hearings, chanting but again some.
- 57:41Speaker 16: Violence and, actually moments ago State Representative Justin pearson From
- 57:46Speaker 16: memphis who was, running he was running For congress Against Steve.
- 57:50Speaker 2: Cohen Austin johnson Or.
- 57:52Speaker 16: Peterce Justin, pearson excuse, Me Justin pearson moments, ago just
- 57:57Speaker 16: had to get removed from the. Chamber he was screaming
- 58:01Speaker 16: in the face of our law, enforcement OUR thchp. Officers
- 58:04Speaker 16: he called A tchp, officer boy god in his face and,
- 58:08Speaker 16: yelled you, boy really inappropriate, behavior, boy a?
- 58:13Speaker 6: Boy?
- 58:14Speaker 16: Really can you believe if the roles were reversed, there
- 58:16Speaker 16: What Justin pearson would do but just? Chaos and, look
- 58:22Speaker 16: The Supreme court has said that you cannot draw congressional
- 58:26Speaker 16: districts based on. Race our ninth district here In tennessee
- 58:31Speaker 16: was drawn based on. Race it is an unconstitutional. District
- 58:35Speaker 16: so it has to be. Changed and that is what
- 58:38Speaker 16: The tennessee legislature is doing.
- 58:39Speaker 2: Today and let's be clear about this because the argument
- 58:42Speaker 2: is it's. Racist the black people Of memphis have no.
- 58:45Speaker 2: Representation for the past nineteen, years they have been represented
- 58:49Speaker 2: by A democrat who happens to be a white.
- 58:52Speaker 16: Dude, yep a white. Dude and what's interesting is this
- 58:55Speaker 16: white Dude Steve, cohen The democrat representative From. Memphis he,
- 59:00Speaker 16: said he said that this is unbelievable that they're drawing
- 59:05Speaker 16: a district From memphis all the way To Middle tennessee
- 59:08Speaker 16: And Shelby county is going to be split three. Ways,
- 59:10Speaker 16: well in twenty zho, two this same, Person Steve, cohen
- 59:14Speaker 16: when he was in the state, legislature voted as A
- 59:17Speaker 16: democrat To. Jerrymanger the district For democrats And Shelby county
- 59:21Speaker 16: was split three ways and the district stretched from The
- 59:25Speaker 16: Mississippi river To Middle. Tennessee so exactly what is happening
- 59:28Speaker 16: today he voted for twenty three years, ago twenty four
- 59:32Speaker 16: years ago when it Favored.
- 59:34Speaker 2: Democrats what The democrats have done unto, us we must
- 59:37Speaker 2: do to.
- 59:38Speaker 16: Them that is exactly. Right this is a partisan. Process
- 59:41Speaker 16: if you don't like, it you vote for a different state.
- 59:44Speaker 16: Legislator but this is. Federalism this is the natural tension
- 59:48Speaker 16: between the various branches of. Government this is the natural
- 59:51Speaker 16: tension between the states and the Federal this is exactly
- 59:54Speaker 16: how the process is supposed to. Work our founders knew
- 59:57Speaker 16: that these natural tensions were Import they maintain our, democracy
- 1:00:03Speaker 16: our republic rather and so The republicans are doing exactly
- 1:00:07Speaker 16: what we need to.

- 1:03:57Speaker 16: the way in which he spoke sounded like he grew
- 1:04:00Speaker 16: up in The northeast at the richest private schools in the.

- 1:04:29Speaker 2: here you know exactly what would be happening literally all
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: over The. South there would be riots in the.
- 1:04:35Speaker 16: Street you are exactly, right and this sort of racism
- 1:04:40Speaker 16: shown By Justin pearson against white law enforcement is completely.
- 1:04:46Speaker 16: Inappropriate it must be. Condemned AND i would like to
- 1:04:49Speaker 16: ask The Democrat party Of tennessee do you Condemn Justin pearson's,
- 1:04:54Speaker 16: racist inappropriate comments towards law enforcement?
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: Today this is just. Shocking. Uh all of this is,
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: happening and this will be national news tonight Across, america
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: happening In nashville at this very. Moment nine oh one
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: two six zero, five nine two six is our telephone.
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: Number that's nine oh one two six zero five nine two.
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: Six and this is a great, Point. LUKE i think
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: The democrats have to come out and condemn. This you
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: can't have a black lawmaker getting the face of a
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: white state trooper and calling him a boy and calling
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: him a pig and an Mfort And god blessed these
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: state troopers because.
- 1:05:33Speaker 16: In the video he is holding the state, troopers holding
- 1:05:36Speaker 16: his hands, up backing away and refusing to engage a
- 1:05:40Speaker 16: good for.
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: Him they and they and they have to because again
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: you you lay the hands on the, guy he deserves
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: to be in jail.
- 1:05:47Speaker 4: Right, now you are. EXACTLY i, mean if he put.
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: His hands on state, troopers you OR i did, that
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: we'd be in jail right, now.
- 1:05:53Speaker 16: Exactly AND i believe what led to this altercation was
- 1:05:55Speaker 16: troopers were trying to remove somebody from the chamber And
- 1:05:58Speaker 16: pearson was getting in the middle pushing back against the.
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: Troopers, wow this is. Amazing now we understand not only
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: In tennessee and, this we. Understand this is all going
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: to happen. Later The senate's going to take it up
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: later today and this could all be decided by the
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: end of the.
- 1:06:12Speaker 16: Day, yes oh it's gonna it's going to be decided
- 1:06:15Speaker 16: probably within the next. Hour The senate is in there
- 1:06:18Speaker 16: debating the last bill right now on the floor at
- 1:06:21Speaker 16: The Tennessee.
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: Senate, Wow so we will bring you that breaking news
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: that'll probably happen sometime in the next hour of the.
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: Show now we understand That mississippi has agreed to step
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: up and they are going to redistrict as. Well they're
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: in a similar situation To. Tennessee smaller, state but only
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: One democrat.
- 1:06:37Speaker 16: District and they had to draw that district under the
- 1:06:40Speaker 16: now unconstitutional idea that you had to have a majority minority.
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: District AND i WANT i want people to understand, here
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: because this is this is not JUST i, mean, well
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: it's predominantly in The southern, states all, right but understand
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: what their reasoning. Is these black lawmakers say they have
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: a constitutional right to only be represented by number one
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: A democrat and number two a Black, democrat but at
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: least A. Democrat but they're saying that black citizens deserve
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: and they must demand black. Representation that is not only
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: is it, unconstitutional that is racis.
- 1:07:16Speaker 16: And offensive that just because what they're saying is that
- 1:07:19Speaker 16: just because you are, black you must Vote. Democrat that
- 1:07:22Speaker 16: is so offensive to me that just because you're, black
- 1:07:24Speaker 16: you can't think for yourself you Vote. Democrat that is
- 1:07:27Speaker 16: offensive and. Racist it's.
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: Appalling AND i know we have a lot of black
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: listeners in The memphis area And i'd like to hear
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: from you on, this because you guys have been controlled
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: By democrats for generations and what have we gotten for?
- 1:07:39Speaker 17: That.
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: Luke you've got the most, deadly the most dangerous city
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: In america because The democrats refused to address. Crime it
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: got so. Bad President trump had to step in and
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: he had to deal with the crime. Problem you've got
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: the worst schools in the state Of. Tennessee seventy percent
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: of the kids can't read or. Write all controlled By.
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: Democrats everybody on the school board is A, democrat predominantly,
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: Black all but one Black. Democrats so when you take
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: a look at what's happening in this city and in this,
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: area you have to ask, yourself can The republicans maybe
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: do just a smidge? Better i'm willing to bet they.
- 1:08:16Speaker 16: Can, yep if we Have republicans that are willing to stand,
- 1:08:19Speaker 16: up stand, strong and say this is. UNACCEPTABLE i don't
- 1:08:22Speaker 16: care what you look, like what your background, Is if
- 1:08:25Speaker 16: you want a safe, community if you want good, schools
- 1:08:28Speaker 16: vote for. Me that is what we.
- 1:08:30Speaker 17: Need.
- 1:08:30Speaker 16: Take get A republican in the middle of inner City
- 1:08:33Speaker 16: memphis with a bullhorn and SAY i care about. You
- 1:08:35Speaker 16: stop voting the way you have for. Decades try something.
- 1:08:38Speaker 16: New you have nothing to.
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: Lose, look this is a lesson for every Single republican In.
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: America number, one do not abandon your. Grassroots do not
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: shove them in a. Closet you embrace. Them you get
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: them out, there and you engage these communities wherever they
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: are and stand alongside of, them work with. Them and
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: if you do, that you are going to win people.
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: Over there's a very big difference between actually caring and,
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: pandering and far too often we See republicans they don't
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: give a damn about the minority communities until election season comes,
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: along and then it's just too. Late so how about
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: get involved in the community and Use memphis as an
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: example of what good can come out of. That Luke,
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: wow what a crazy what a crazy.

- 1:09:44Speaker 16: black on white racism that we are seeing right now

- 1:09:51Speaker 16: face of white law enforcement shouting boy people shouting. Pigs

- 1:12:24Speaker 2: kid when the family came over on the, boat on the.
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: Boats and you, know it's interesting when you look at
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: The vietnamese people that came over to this, country all
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: of them are so incredibly, grateful so, thankful some of
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: the hardest, working some of the hardest working. Immigrants they're business,

- 1:18:13Speaker 2: surprised at how Well Spencer pratt is doing? It and
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: how do you think he's connecting with the voters? There
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: In Los.
- 1:18:20Speaker 20: Angeles, Yeah i'm never surprised when somebody is raising a
- 1:18:24Speaker 20: common sense issue that matters to, voters whether or not
- 1:18:29Speaker 20: he has the votes.
- 1:18:30Speaker 12: Or the momentum to actually pull out a.
- 1:18:32Speaker 21: Win what a breath of fresh air to really be
- 1:18:35Speaker 21: talking about what voters care. About everybody that lives in that,
- 1:18:38Speaker 21: city AND i live close enough to be able to
- 1:18:41Speaker 21: see the skyline from my, house we care about the
- 1:18:44Speaker 21: problems that are created with a lot of the current,
- 1:18:47Speaker 21: policies whether it's, homelessness under a, bridge drug, use, addiction
- 1:18:51Speaker 21: those are all societal issues that are front and center
- 1:18:54Speaker 21: in a large.
- 1:18:55Speaker 12: Metropolis Like Los.
- 1:18:57Speaker 21: ANGELES i would say they're front and center in lots
- 1:18:59Speaker 21: of cities across the. Nation but because we can couple
- 1:19:03Speaker 21: that with so many Other california issues right about, now
- 1:19:06Speaker 21: including the fires which this gentleman lost his, home we
- 1:19:09Speaker 21: can pretty much safely say any candidate that's able to
- 1:19:13Speaker 21: speak truth to the voters is going to do well
- 1:19:15Speaker 21: in the.
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: Polls i'm wondering what conditions are really like there on the.
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: GROUND i think when a lot of folks here of, like,
- 1:19:22Speaker 2: okay yeah they got a homeless, Problem, well we may
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: have one in our. Community you've got the guys sleeping
- 1:19:26Speaker 2: on the park bench or you, know sleeping on the.
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: Sidewalk that's my understanding is that's not what you guys
- 1:19:32Speaker 2: are dealing with there In Los.
- 1:19:33Speaker 12: Angeles, no it's much different than.
- 1:19:36Speaker 21: That and you, know it's to the point where there
- 1:19:38Speaker 21: are certain areas that many.
- 1:19:39Speaker 12: People avoid because it is so. Overrun you can't get
- 1:19:43Speaker 12: pasted on the. Street.
- 1:19:44Speaker 21: NOW i say, This, todd But i'm also always amazed
- 1:19:47Speaker 21: at the extent of which sometimes they're, relocated sometimes, overnight
- 1:19:52Speaker 21: and you wonder what. Happened we have the same problem
- 1:19:53Speaker 21: In San, diego and they would have a lot of
- 1:19:56Speaker 21: different types of. MEASURES i, mean Remember Gavin newsom was
- 1:19:59Speaker 21: out there on television clearing homeless.
- 1:20:02Speaker 12: Camp do you remember, That?
- 1:20:02Speaker 2: TODD i remember.
- 1:20:04Speaker 15: That.
- 1:20:04Speaker 17: Ye.
- 1:20:04Speaker 21: Yeah we sort of go through cycles where it's, worse it's.
- 1:20:09Speaker 12: Better but one.
- 1:20:10Speaker 21: Thing that never changes is the fact that it's a
- 1:20:13Speaker 21: huge issue in a city Like Los, angeles and now
- 1:20:16Speaker 21: that we're going into warmer, weather we want to make
- 1:20:19Speaker 21: sure that anybody that's homeless is also taken care of
- 1:20:23Speaker 21: so that they don't have heat, stroke not having the,
- 1:20:26Speaker 21: water the shelter that they, need so it's a problem
- 1:20:28Speaker 21: all across the, Board.
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: Wendy there's a city council woman Running Nitha, rahmen and
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: she came under a lot of fire as, well And
- 1:20:38Speaker 2: PRATT i was really. Impressed, clearly he's a political, novice
- 1:20:43Speaker 2: BUT i think he came across as fairly earnest and
- 1:20:46Speaker 2: a guy who has a pretty decent beef with City.
- 1:20:50Speaker 2: Hall they, burned their policies led to him himself losing his.
- 1:20:56Speaker 2: Home he's not able to rebuild. It he's living in
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: a trailer. Now AND i love how the local media
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: tries to portray him as a. Millionaire this guy actually punches, back,
- 1:21:05Speaker 2: Says i'm not a. MILLIONAIRE i don't have a lot
- 1:21:07Speaker 2: of money in the. Bank you, know EVERYTHING i had
- 1:21:10Speaker 2: was in that house and now it has gone because
- 1:21:13Speaker 2: of the policies of These democrats who've been Ruling Los.
- 1:21:17Speaker 21: Angeles, yeah and you know WHAT i like about that
- 1:21:20Speaker 21: is the common sensibility to connect with. Everyone and you,
- 1:21:25Speaker 21: KNOW i say, EVERYONE i don't mean everybody who lives
- 1:21:27Speaker 21: in a trailer or everybody who lost their, home but anybody.
- 1:21:30Speaker 12: That's lost anything.
- 1:21:31Speaker 21: And can identify with the chronology of falling UPON i
- 1:21:36Speaker 21: don't want to say hard. TIMES i, mean he's obviously
- 1:21:38Speaker 21: has enough, money but times that really up end your,
- 1:21:42Speaker 21: life is you knew. It anybody that's lost a home
- 1:21:45Speaker 21: in a, mudslide where we talk About california SPECIFIC i
- 1:21:48Speaker 21: could say tornadoes for those that live on you, know
- 1:21:51Speaker 21: on the other, coast anybody that's lost a lot of
- 1:21:54Speaker 21: what they own can relate to the reality of the
- 1:21:56Speaker 21: finger pointing begins.
- 1:21:57Speaker 12: Afterwards whose fault was?
- 1:21:59Speaker 21: It and are we living with policies that are to
- 1:22:02Speaker 21: have the potential to disenfranchise, anyone especially when you're talking
- 1:22:06Speaker 21: about something preventable like having enough water and the hydrants.
- 1:22:11Speaker 12: To be able to have what you need to prevent
- 1:22:14Speaker 12: people from losing their homes to begin.
- 1:22:16Speaker 21: With so these are things that he is saying that
- 1:22:19Speaker 21: resonates with almost anybody.
- 1:22:20Speaker 2: Listening Wendy patrick joining us on Our Patriot Moble newsmaker,
- 1:22:24Speaker 2: line and you can actually Watch wendy on our YouTube
- 1:22:28Speaker 2: rumble Or facebook live video feeds right. Now she's A
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: newsmax columnist and a career trial attorney based In. California you, Know,
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: WENDY i want to turn to the governor's. RACE i
- 1:22:38Speaker 2: watch the debate the other night AND i am JUST
- 1:22:42Speaker 2: i am still impressed With Steve. HILTON i got to tell,
- 1:22:45Speaker 2: you Even Chad bianco had some pretty good lines in.
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: There how are things looking for The. Republicans i'm a hopeful,
- 1:22:54Speaker 2: man But i'm not sure that's going to be enough
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: at the end of the. Day but how are things
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: looking right?
- 1:22:58Speaker 12: Now this is absolutely my.
- 1:23:01Speaker 21: WHEELHOUSE i love watching, DEBATES i love talking about it.
- 1:23:04Speaker 21: AFTERWARDS i love seeing the candidates get, feisty not just
- 1:23:08Speaker 21: because it makes good, television but it's finally put The
- 1:23:11Speaker 21: california governor's race on the. Map there are so many
- 1:23:14Speaker 21: candidates who will be on the. Ballot to think about
- 1:23:16Speaker 21: the front runners is now something That californians are. Doing
- 1:23:20Speaker 21: the biggest issue that they're talking about to some, extent
- 1:23:23Speaker 21: probably should be talking about it even more.
- 1:23:26Speaker 12: Is how to restore The california. Dream that's not what
- 1:23:30Speaker 12: people are living here In.
- 1:23:31Speaker 21: California we've got the highest gas, taxes we do have nice,
- 1:23:35Speaker 21: weather but we don't have the ability to spend the
- 1:23:38Speaker 21: money we're making if we're even able to have the
- 1:23:40Speaker 21: jobs that we, want and that no doubt accounts for
- 1:23:43Speaker 21: the highest voting block right. Now todd being undecided and
- 1:23:48Speaker 21: an undecided voting block means every debate, counts every elbow
- 1:23:53Speaker 21: thrown on the debate stage, counts because these are the
- 1:23:56Speaker 21: ways the candidates are distinguishing themselves from one. ANOTHER i
- 1:23:59Speaker 21: do have to say The swallwll dropout also engendered interest
- 1:24:04Speaker 21: in this race because it changed the playing field different
- 1:24:07Speaker 21: people that didn't have a chance.
- 1:24:09Speaker 12: Before suddenly we're surging in the.
- 1:24:10Speaker 21: Polls it's really become the race to, watch and it's very.
- 1:24:14Speaker 12: Interesting.
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: Wendy i'm curious if you were to grade the Two
- 1:24:19Speaker 2: Republicans Steve hilton And Chad, bianco what sort of a
- 1:24:22Speaker 2: grade would you give him on their debate. Performances, Ah And.
- 1:24:26Speaker 21: I'm glad you asked it just the way you, Did.
- 1:24:28Speaker 21: Todd Because Steve hilton is a natural in terms of
- 1:24:31Speaker 21: doing well in front of the, camera so he came
- 1:24:33Speaker 21: in with an. Advantage british accent doesn't hurt him any.
- 1:24:36Speaker 21: Either he came in with a bit of an advantage
- 1:24:38Speaker 21: in terms of presentation on the.
- 1:24:40Speaker 12: Stage But Chad Biaco brin's law.
- 1:24:42Speaker 21: ENFORCEMENT i, mean he is a tough. Guy he comes
- 1:24:45Speaker 21: across as who he. Is he's no. Nonsense he wants
- 1:24:48Speaker 21: the opportunity to be able to instill the programs that
- 1:24:52Speaker 21: he believes. In he's not afraid to back. Down he's very.
- 1:24:55Speaker 21: Outspoken so it's almost like if two people were able
- 1:24:58Speaker 21: to hold the, office those two would be complementary yea
- 1:25:02Speaker 21: to one. Another so it's really going to depend a
- 1:25:05Speaker 21: lot on who turns out at the, polls who fills
- 1:25:07Speaker 21: out their. Ballots because each of them appealed to a
- 1:25:11Speaker 21: little bit of a different segment of the conservative.
- 1:25:14Speaker 12: Demographic it's really interesting to watch those two.
- 1:25:16Speaker 2: TOGETHER i have to tell, YOU i Like. Hilton i'm
- 1:25:21Speaker 2: SO i was a LITTLE i was left wanting. MORE i,
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: MEAN i think mainly because he is a media guy
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: and this is his jam right, here AND i really
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: felt like he could have really hit home in a
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: couple of big, issues one of them being the gas.
- 1:25:35Speaker 2: Prices and of course they were Blaming trump for the
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: higher gas, prices And hilton pushed back and, said, well you,
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: know it's because of The democrat. POLICIES i would have
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: loved to have Seen, hilton you, know bring out like
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: A Carl, rove you, know whiteboard and say here's what
- 1:25:50Speaker 2: the gallon of gas. Costs but here are all of
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: the fees that You democrats are imposing on all of
- 1:25:56Speaker 2: us that nobody else has to pay. For AND i
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: think you have to really get that simplistic to really
- 1:26:01Speaker 2: hit home with the. Voters AM i being a little
- 1:26:03Speaker 2: too harsh?
- 1:26:04Speaker 17: Here?
- 1:26:05Speaker 21: NO i think that is a technique that we've seen
- 1:26:08Speaker 21: others use to illustrate points exactly like that on LIVE
- 1:26:12Speaker 21: tv doesn't lend itself to a debate stage, format is
- 1:26:16Speaker 21: probably What hilton would, Say but that doesn't mean it
- 1:26:17Speaker 21: can't be in some type of a campaign AD i,
- 1:26:20Speaker 21: mean sometimes the best advice is to, see you, know
- 1:26:23Speaker 21: what really makes headlines and resonates on other, shows on other.
- 1:26:26Speaker 21: Advertisements and you're, right it's a positive message in that
- 1:26:30Speaker 21: it's exposing the reality behind why the taxes are so
- 1:26:34Speaker 21: high is an entirely different rationale than why our regular
- 1:26:37Speaker 21: taxes are so. High it's, different and it's different now
- 1:26:41Speaker 21: also todd because of the, war AND i ran that
- 1:26:43Speaker 21: is changing the dynamic even, more and it's really capitalizing
- 1:26:47Speaker 21: on somebody Like, hilton who's what is his, tagline. CALIFFORDABILITY i,
- 1:26:51Speaker 21: mean it's right up his alley as to what he's
- 1:26:53Speaker 21: chosen to emphasize his front and center in his.
- 1:26:55Speaker 12: CAMPAIGN i hope he's watching and.
- 1:26:56Speaker 2: LISTENING i want to play this one Clip Katie. Porter
- 1:26:59Speaker 2: she just creeps me. Out i'm, sorry she just. Dies
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: here's a back and, forth AND i want you to
- 1:27:04Speaker 2: listen to what Ched bianco had to. SAY i thought
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: this was one of the more clever lines of the.
- 1:27:08Speaker 2: Night got number.
- 1:27:10Speaker 19: Five, Please, YEAH i, MEAN i think we ought to
- 1:27:12Speaker 19: enforce the existing sanctuary laws everywhere so we don't have
- 1:27:16Speaker 19: crazy cowboys taking the law into their.
- 1:27:19Speaker 11: Own well that to a crazy mother who lost her, child,
- 1:27:23Speaker 11: SIR i.
- 1:27:23Speaker 19: Don't need any lectures from you about being a.
- 1:27:26Speaker 8: Mother of course you.
- 1:27:27Speaker 2: Might, yes.
- 1:27:32Speaker 3: What Does bionco know About Katie porter that the rest
- 1:27:35Speaker 3: of us.
- 1:27:36Speaker 20: Don't, YEAH i knew you were going to play that.
- 1:27:39Speaker 20: CLIPTOG i knew you're going to play that because that
- 1:27:41Speaker 20: is one of those instances Where Chad biaco probably you,
- 1:27:46Speaker 20: know wishes he had and said that last.
- 1:27:47Speaker 21: Line and part of it is the, reaction you, know
- 1:27:51Speaker 21: especially when you have one woman on a stage of,
- 1:27:53Speaker 21: men that's a dynamic to be reckoned. With we saw
- 1:27:56Speaker 21: the same. Thing in, fact we see the same. Thing
- 1:27:59Speaker 21: you're after a year and we.
- 1:28:01Speaker 12: Just all have to be.
- 1:28:02Speaker 21: CAREFUL i often think to, MYSELF i wonder what it
- 1:28:04Speaker 21: looked like if we, had you, know six women and
- 1:28:07Speaker 21: one man on the, stage it would probably be the
- 1:28:09Speaker 21: same kind of thing.
- 1:28:10Speaker 12: Is no one wants to question each other's ability to.
- 1:28:13Speaker 21: Parent but at the same, time, obviously you, know his point,
- 1:28:16Speaker 21: was we want to make sure that everybody's making decisions
- 1:28:19Speaker 21: that are saved for the. Community it ends up being
- 1:28:21Speaker 21: more about optics and topics.
- 1:28:23Speaker 2: Sometimes, well the good news is mashed potatoes were not
- 1:28:27Speaker 2: thrown at, Anyone SO i think we can count that
- 1:28:29Speaker 2: as a win for. SOMEBODY i don't.
- 1:28:31Speaker 17: Know.
- 1:28:31Speaker 2: Wendy we've got to leave it, there you, know the radio.

- 1:29:39Speaker 2: there have been some apparently more attacks on ships in
- 1:29:45Speaker 2: in The strait Of Horror. MOVES i want to share
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: this information From Fox. News The president says that he
- 1:29:51Speaker 2: believes a peace deal could be a week, away but
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: he's been saying that for a while. Now we understand
- 1:29:57Speaker 2: that A chinese owned oil tanker was hit in the
- 1:30:00Speaker 2: Of Horror. Booze this happened just a little while. AGO
- 1:30:04Speaker 2: a report From chinese media is reporting the ship's deck caught.
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: Fire it remains unclear whether any crew were. Injured so
- 1:30:15Speaker 2: there you. Go the. Latest the blockade still in place
- 1:30:20Speaker 2: and apparently really packing a wallop On iran's economy as
- 1:30:24Speaker 2: well as well it should and it. Will we will
- 1:30:27Speaker 2: see how all of, that all of that plays. Out all.
- 1:30:31Speaker 2: Right our telephone number again nine oh one two six
- 1:30:34Speaker 2: zero five nine two. Six that's nine oh one two
- 1:30:37Speaker 2: six zero five nine two. Six here Is Scott jennings
- 1:30:41Speaker 2: ON cnn last night talking About, california and we just
- 1:30:45Speaker 2: had a great conversation Within Wendy, PATRICK i want you
- 1:30:48Speaker 2: to listen to How jennings frames the. Conversation cut.
- 1:30:50Speaker 15: Eight if the state is, failed if the education system has,
- 1:30:54Speaker 15: failed if it's an affordability, crisis if we're only one
- 1:30:57Speaker 15: of five states where people are actually leaving instead of
- 1:31:00Speaker 15: going into they have all these? Problems is it a
- 1:31:04Speaker 15: good idea to have one party rule for so? Long And,
- 1:31:07Speaker 15: HILTON i think has articulated THAT i asked him. Yesterday you,
- 1:31:10Speaker 15: know is it possible For republican to get elected governor Of?
- 1:31:12Speaker 15: California you, know he has a way to lay out
- 1:31:15Speaker 15: the math that shows, yes you could attract independence and
- 1:31:18Speaker 15: even some Disaffected democrats who are sort of fed up
- 1:31:21Speaker 15: with the fact that they live in a state that's
- 1:31:23Speaker 15: beautiful and has all these things going for, it but
- 1:31:25Speaker 15: it has been so mismanaged that people hate living here
- 1:31:28Speaker 15: so much that they're fleeing To miami in other, Places
- 1:31:30Speaker 15: and you, know watching this debate, tonight Watching democrats argue
- 1:31:33Speaker 15: with each other about how to raise more, taxes how
- 1:31:36Speaker 15: to further ruin, healthcare how to let in more illegal,
- 1:31:38Speaker 15: immigrants it makes you believe that someone Like Steve, hilton
- 1:31:41Speaker 15: if you just articulate the right questions sometimes that can
- 1:31:44Speaker 15: get your Procar.
- 1:31:45Speaker 17: Again the only way A republican wins In california if
- 1:31:49Speaker 17: it's somehow out of this crazy jungle, primary Two republicans make.
- 1:31:53Speaker 17: It but if there is One democrat Against Steve, hilton
- 1:31:56Speaker 17: whether It's Tom, steyer whether it's heavier bus there my.
- 1:32:01Speaker 15: Am my response to that is you're probably. Right but
- 1:32:04Speaker 15: my question is is that a good? Thing is it
- 1:32:06Speaker 15: a good thing For california to continue to just vote
- 1:32:09Speaker 15: for the same party that has created all these problems
- 1:32:12Speaker 15: that everyone seems to agree to.
- 1:32:13Speaker 2: Exist, well, certainly no doubt about. That and again it's
- 1:32:18Speaker 2: if you're electing the same people every single time and
- 1:32:22Speaker 2: your problems are not getting. Fixed hate to say, that
- 1:32:25Speaker 2: but that's on. YOU i, mean at the end of the,
- 1:32:28Speaker 2: day it really. Is and by the, way all You
- 1:32:30Speaker 2: republicans that you, KNOW i know some of you are
- 1:32:32Speaker 2: a little butt hurt about this or. That you've got
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: to get over. That we have got to get to the,
- 1:32:37Speaker 2: polls and we've got to make sure that we are
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: sending a very clear. Message and one of the ways
- 1:32:42Speaker 2: we can do that is packing the polls at the.
- 1:32:45Speaker 2: Primary AND i, YEAH i Know i'm preaching to the choir,
- 1:32:49Speaker 2: here but that's what we've got to, do all, Right hang, tide,
- 1:32:51Speaker 2: everybody nine oh one two six zero five nine two,
- 1:32:54Speaker 2: Six we'll be right. Back, Well i'm trying to figure, Out,
- 1:33:09Speaker 2: dylan how to describe the IMAGE i was just sent
- 1:33:12Speaker 2: from inside the usually, austere rather dignified chambers of The Tennessee.
- 1:33:22Speaker 2: Senate you, know at the politics in The, south it's
- 1:33:26Speaker 2: all very in The. South you, know we revere our,
- 1:33:30Speaker 2: politicians and the capitol buildings are somewhat sacro, sainct if you.
- 1:33:35Speaker 2: Will and you, know there's a lot a lot of
- 1:33:38Speaker 2: cigar smoke and leather chairs and men in. Suits And
- 1:33:44Speaker 2: i'm right now looking inside The senate chamber at a
- 1:33:48Speaker 2: live shot of a full figured woman standing on A
- 1:33:53Speaker 2: senate desk and at FIRST i, thought oh, wow this
- 1:33:58Speaker 2: is the Pink pony Dance, claw but, no it is
- 1:34:01Speaker 2: actually The Tennessee State senate and before you, ASK i
- 1:34:06Speaker 2: have no idea what the inside of the pink pony dance.
- 1:34:08Speaker 2: Cud i'm just imagining that it would look something like
- 1:34:12Speaker 2: a political. Arena so there you have. It the latest
- 1:34:16Speaker 2: there as now The senate gets ready to vote on
- 1:34:19Speaker 2: this redistricting plan that is causing chaos and commotion around the. Nation,
- 1:34:24Speaker 2: well help us figure all of this. Out our good
- 1:34:26Speaker 2: Friend Josh jones are Great republican. Strategist who is And,
- 1:34:32Speaker 2: JOSH i just want you to, know first of, ALL
- 1:34:34Speaker 2: i greatly appreciate all of your kind words and, messages
- 1:34:37Speaker 2: AND i am happy to Say i've made it through
- 1:34:40Speaker 2: almost three hours of radio.
- 1:34:41Speaker 9: Today that's good to.
- 1:34:43Speaker 7: Hear.
- 1:34:43Speaker 13: Tom So i'm doing. Better but, hey be a good.
- 1:34:46Speaker 13: Patient listen to whatever the doctors.
- 1:34:47Speaker 2: Say, WELL i will do my. Best so, look here's
- 1:34:52Speaker 2: what's happening In it's chaos at The Tennessee State. Capitol
- 1:34:56Speaker 2: And i'm, wondering are you surprised here and your reaction
- 1:34:59Speaker 2: that ten To see lawmakers are going to get rid
- 1:35:01Speaker 2: of that One democrat congressional.
- 1:35:04Speaker 13: DISTRICT i don't think, So And democrats shouldn't be, surprised
- 1:35:07Speaker 13: Particularly democrat with the LEADERS i mean if you look
- 1:35:10Speaker 13: At California, virginia you know our stage is Got jerry
- 1:35:14Speaker 13: manderd now is going to The Supreme. Court the season
- 1:35:16Speaker 13: holds up because The democrats essentially rigged the system and
- 1:35:19Speaker 13: rushed it. Along so, NO i don't Think democrats should be,
- 1:35:22Speaker 13: surprised particularly after The Supreme court is shruck down the
- 1:35:25Speaker 13: provisions of THE vra that related to minority specific. Districts so,
- 1:35:31Speaker 13: look this is something That democrats have started to escalate
- 1:35:35Speaker 13: across the country And republicans are responding in.
- 1:35:37Speaker 2: Kind when After tennessee wraps up and this is a done,
- 1:35:42Speaker 2: DEAL i think within the next twenty minutes we're going to.
- 1:35:44Speaker 2: Know and then we'll move to the state Of, mississippi
- 1:35:48Speaker 2: where a very similar. Situation they've got One Democrat senate
- 1:35:52Speaker 2: seat or congressional seat belongs To Benny Thompson. Johnson his
- 1:35:58Speaker 2: name just completely flew out of my. Mind, anyway it's
- 1:36:01Speaker 2: one congressional district for The, gyms and it looks Like
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: mississippi is going to do the same thing That tennessee.
- 1:36:07Speaker 13: Did, YEAH i, mean, look this is about leveling the
- 1:36:10Speaker 13: playing field as we head into the midterms after what
- 1:36:13Speaker 13: they did In. Virginia in My virginia is with a swing.
- 1:36:16Speaker 13: State it's not something where, oh ninety percent of the
- 1:36:18Speaker 13: states That's democrat. Anyways, no we're pretty fifty to fifty
- 1:36:21Speaker 13: down the, middle and they drew a ten one.
- 1:36:23Speaker 18: Map so, LOOK.
- 1:36:26Speaker 13: I, like you, know not jerry. Mannering having non parts
- 1:36:29Speaker 13: of the district keeps things. Competitive but look at the system's.
- 1:36:32Speaker 13: Rigged you have to fight fire with.
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: Fire BUT i think there's also a message. Here and, Look,
- 1:36:37Speaker 2: josh you've been covering politics a long, time and you,
- 1:36:41Speaker 2: KNOW i can't find anywhere in The constitution where it
- 1:36:43Speaker 2: says that congressional districts have to be, jerrymannered specifically to
- 1:36:48Speaker 2: let a specific race of people have a majority of the.
- 1:36:51Speaker 9: Vote, yeah you're.
- 1:36:53Speaker 13: Right and that's what The Supreme court upheld in the
- 1:36:56Speaker 13: most recent case a couple of weeks ago at this,
- 1:36:58Speaker 13: point or we may be coming up in a, month
- 1:37:00Speaker 13: but that's What Supreme important said as. Well it, said, look,
- 1:37:03Speaker 13: hey there's nowhere no, provisions no statute, law and no
- 1:37:07Speaker 13: common law that says that congressional districts have to be
- 1:37:11Speaker 13: drawn on the basis of race or specifically accommodating on
- 1:37:14Speaker 13: the basis of. Race, oh, look you do want districts
- 1:37:16Speaker 13: to be as prair as possible across the. Board i'm
- 1:37:20Speaker 13: sure that are mandating that that had been included as
- 1:37:23Speaker 13: part of that. Process it's just not.
- 1:37:25Speaker 2: Accurate Josh jones on The Patriotobal newsmaker line. Today so
- 1:37:31Speaker 2: when we look towards the midterm, elections and you do
- 1:37:35Speaker 2: have to wonder if any of those those lawmakers In
- 1:37:40Speaker 2: indiana are regretting their decision not to go forward with
- 1:37:44Speaker 2: the move. Here, first were you surprised that five out
- 1:37:47Speaker 2: of the seven lost their seats in The republican primaries
- 1:37:51Speaker 2: and what message do you think that sends to Other
- 1:37:54Speaker 2: republicans who may be opposing the president's agenda.
- 1:37:57Speaker 13: Here i'm not particularly. Surprised i've seen lots of their
- 1:38:00Speaker 13: primaries In indiana because number, one it was such a
- 1:38:03Speaker 13: high profile thing at the, time because they were the
- 1:38:06Speaker 13: only another state that had introduced the measure or been
- 1:38:09Speaker 13: discussing discussing the, Measure so it drew a lot of national,
- 1:38:11Speaker 13: attention also attention Of President. Trump but, Look President trump
- 1:38:15Speaker 13: was on the other side of the issue of that from, them,
- 1:38:18Speaker 13: uh and he's very much still in charge of the,
- 1:38:20Speaker 13: party AND i think the results In indiana support that. That,
- 1:38:25Speaker 13: look they still Follow President, trump they support you, know
- 1:38:27Speaker 13: his agenda and The America first. Movement so what not
- 1:38:31Speaker 13: surprised that they lost their. Primaries we'll see what The
- 1:38:33Speaker 13: indiana state legislatures, do uh leading up to The November
- 1:38:37Speaker 13: if they go back and revisit the red districting plant
- 1:38:39Speaker 13: or not is to be, determined but we'll. See SO i,
- 1:38:44Speaker 13: mean Look, Indiana, Virginia, Texas. California and also see WHEN
- 1:38:49Speaker 13: i addressed The democratic talking point, that, Oh republicans started
- 1:38:52Speaker 13: this In, texas, well that's just not. True to go
- 1:38:55Speaker 13: back two years Before texas, Redistricted New york did the
- 1:38:58Speaker 13: exact same, thing where they drew Out republican district intentionally
- 1:39:02Speaker 13: for the purpose of Giving democrats an upper.
- 1:39:04Speaker 2: Hand and, look both parties do, this And i'm with.
- 1:39:07Speaker 2: YOU i don't like, it you, know but you got
- 1:39:09Speaker 2: to play The democrats game. Here AND i, know for,
- 1:39:11Speaker 2: example going back To, Tennessee Steve, cohen when he was
- 1:39:15Speaker 2: a state senator in the State, house he voted on
- 1:39:18Speaker 2: a jerry mander that that took that congressional district From
- 1:39:22Speaker 2: memphis all the way To, nashville and that's The republicans
- 1:39:27Speaker 2: are just doing what The democrats did to, them and
- 1:39:30Speaker 2: they don't like. It you, know the ISSUE i have, Is,
- 1:39:33Speaker 2: okay we can do tit for, tat but at the
- 1:39:35Speaker 2: end of the, day we've got to have some sort
- 1:39:37Speaker 2: of a conversation here about what is in fact fair.
- 1:39:40Speaker 2: Representation you're, Right you're.
- 1:39:43Speaker 13: Right i'm right there with. You like you, SAID i
- 1:39:45Speaker 13: do not like jerry. MANDERING i think, it's you, know
- 1:39:48Speaker 13: something that we shouldn't have to be going down because
- 1:39:50Speaker 13: to your, point it's just a war of escalation in
- 1:39:52Speaker 13: the sense that it's a tip for tat repulbo going
- 1:39:54Speaker 13: Do democrats Will democrats would do. It so we need
- 1:39:58Speaker 13: a resolution, here AND i think we thought an example
- 1:40:01Speaker 13: back pre ad of Al stanberger And virginia of what
- 1:40:03Speaker 13: that could look. Like In, virginia we had the fairest
- 1:40:06Speaker 13: maps in the country up unto referendum a couple of
- 1:40:09Speaker 13: months or a month, ago where we had a non
- 1:40:12Speaker 13: partisan commission draw the lines and if that system, failed
- 1:40:16Speaker 13: then The Supreme court Of virginia would draw the lines
- 1:40:19Speaker 13: and we had the fairest maps in the country because of.
- 1:40:21Speaker 13: IT i think if you could see something like that
- 1:40:23Speaker 13: implemented on the national. Level we had these non partisan
- 1:40:26Speaker 13: and independent commissions backed up by The State Supreme corps
- 1:40:29Speaker 13: as a bell staate that it takes a lot of
- 1:40:31Speaker 13: problems here and, look that's SOMETHING i would totally. Support like,
- 1:40:35Speaker 13: it you, know apply equally across all states and help
- 1:40:40Speaker 13: get the national message and left the leaders that they
- 1:40:43Speaker 13: want into.
- 1:40:44Speaker 2: Office, josh real, quick before we let you, GO i
- 1:40:46Speaker 2: want to ask you About. Virginia it just it just
- 1:40:49Speaker 2: seems to me That virginia, voters and especially were a
- 1:40:52Speaker 2: PUBLIC i would like to think independent voters should be
- 1:40:55Speaker 2: just as. Enraged you know that all of These democrats
- 1:40:58Speaker 2: and Especially, spamburger they campaigned on she campaigned on being a.
- 1:41:02Speaker 2: Moderate she was asked specifically about redistricting on the campaign,
- 1:41:06Speaker 2: trail said she would not do. That this woman. LIED i,
- 1:41:10Speaker 2: mean there's no hedging. It she, Lied she misrepresented herself
- 1:41:14Speaker 2: to the, voters got. Elected And i'm just, wondering is
- 1:41:18Speaker 2: there are you hearing of any? Blowback there are, people you,
- 1:41:22Speaker 2: know regretting their votes or regretting not voting.
- 1:41:26Speaker 13: ANYTHING i, mean there's Definitely republicans obviously in a good
- 1:41:32Speaker 13: fair amount of independence that Was spanberger and The democrats In, virginia,
- 1:41:36Speaker 13: because like he, said they blatantly lied to. Them AND
- 1:41:38Speaker 13: i think that's proven by the fact that if you
- 1:41:40Speaker 13: look at the governor's race from a year, ago where
- 1:41:43Speaker 13: having Got spenberger essentially won like fourteen to fifteen points
- 1:41:46Speaker 13: to give, take where this referendum won by about three.
- 1:41:49Speaker 13: POINTS i, mean that's a huge swing to The republicans
- 1:41:52Speaker 13: out of, things AND i think that's the representation That,
- 1:41:54Speaker 13: look a lot of these voters still, fooled have a
- 1:41:57Speaker 13: Lot memmary because she lied to. Them AND i think
- 1:42:00Speaker 13: that's emblematic of the Entire Democratic party right. Now their
- 1:42:04Speaker 13: playbook is run as a motor and then as soon
- 1:42:06Speaker 13: as they get into, office just run till the.
- 1:42:07Speaker 2: Left all, Right, well we're gonna have to leave it, There.

- 1:42:59Speaker 20: The Special.
- 1:43:01Speaker 22: Session the last two. Days so it's a done.
- 1:43:03Speaker 12: Deal.
- 1:43:03Speaker 22: Now The house And senate passed the new congressional maps
- 1:43:06Speaker 22: and it heads to The governor's desk. DESIGN i think
- 1:43:11Speaker 22: a lot of people, here especially In Shelby, county we're
- 1:43:15Speaker 22: relieved now that you, know Three republicans will have a
- 1:43:19Speaker 22: chance to have representation In Shelby. County AND i don't
- 1:43:22Speaker 22: see how this doesn't Benefit. Memphis and you, know it
- 1:43:26Speaker 22: was just funny just listening to all The democrats and
- 1:43:29Speaker 22: Special session testify of how they're saying how it's benefited
- 1:43:34Speaker 22: mephis to have One democrat congressional. Seat and if you've
- 1:43:39Speaker 22: lived here or Visited, memphis you know that we have
- 1:43:42Speaker 22: not spared well Under democrat.
- 1:43:45Speaker 2: Control no and WHEN i hear that kind of, conversation
- 1:43:49Speaker 2: first of, all they're, like, well this is a black
- 1:43:52Speaker 2: district and we deserve black. Representation, okay you've had a
- 1:43:55Speaker 2: white dude representing you for almost twenty years. Now but
- 1:44:00Speaker 2: but just put that aside for a. Minute what what
- 1:44:04Speaker 2: good have The democrats done for the people Of, Memphis.
- 1:44:08Speaker 2: Tennessee AND i JUST i DON'T i don't see anything
- 1:44:13Speaker 2: any benefit that they've had having a you, know A
- 1:44:16Speaker 2: democrat represent them In.
- 1:44:18Speaker 22: Congress, yeah ESPECIALLY i Mean. Cohen he's always been in
- 1:44:22Speaker 22: odds against the other progressional delegates that Are republican In.
- 1:44:27Speaker 22: Tennessee so his thing, was, WELL i could go to
- 1:44:31Speaker 22: A democrat president if we flipped. Over but it just
- 1:44:33Speaker 22: doesn't add up the Whole the whole argument was about,
- 1:44:37Speaker 22: race and they you could tell they had scripted questions
- 1:44:40Speaker 22: that they basically grand standard and committees in The house
- 1:44:44Speaker 22: And senate to try to make this all about. Race
- 1:44:47Speaker 22: but this was never about.
- 1:44:48Speaker 12: Race it was.
- 1:44:49Speaker 22: About democrats controlling or keeping, power uh in The house Of.
- 1:44:54Speaker 22: Representatives SO i think there everybody seemed through their, argument
- 1:44:59Speaker 22: And i've even to people that don't even really care about.
- 1:45:01Speaker 22: Politics everybody In, tennessee Especially Shelby, county has been watching
- 1:45:07Speaker 22: what's happening this week because in a, way this feels
- 1:45:11Speaker 22: like almost our second, liberation besides the deployment of THE
- 1:45:15Speaker 22: Myphisp Task, force that we won't be under cohen thumb.
- 1:45:18Speaker 2: Anymore, well that's, true and you can always get a
- 1:45:21Speaker 2: job working the drive through at THE. Kfc you know
- 1:45:24Speaker 2: the guy loves his fried, chicken, right.
