• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Todd starts well.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: All right, Hello everybody, Welcome to the Todd Starnes Radio Program.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Very very hampy to have you up with us today
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: in a very busy news day as well, a lot
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: of world leaders in Washington, d C. For Lindsey Graham's funeral.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, I just stepped out of
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: about two hours of live coverage and analysis of the
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: funeral on Newsmax. So great to be with you today.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Beautiful ceremony and the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: expected to deliver a tribute later this afternoon at the
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: funeral for Lindsay Graham that will be held at the
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Nation Washington's National Cathedral. Also, some of our good friends,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: you see them all the time on this program. They're
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: going to be participating, including Tony Perkins from the Family
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Research Council in Franklin, Graham from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: So a lot of a lot of the big names
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: at today's funeral for Lindsey Graham. So, look, I want
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: to circle back to something that happened last night on
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Fox News Channel. There has been a lot of consternation,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: a lot of consternation about the Senate and the lack
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: of movement in the US Senate. And we have invited
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: the majority leader onto this program for the past two years.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: We have had the Speaker of the House on a
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: number of times. President Donald J. Trump has been on
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: this program a number of times. But for whatever reason,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Senator John Thune will not come onto the program. And
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I'm going to explain why after you hear this interview
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: that he did with Sean Hannity last time on Fox
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: News Channel. And well, John Thune and the establishment are
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: using Fox News as almost official state media, and they
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: we were hoping that Hannity would really press Senator Thune
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: on the issues. And look, you don't have to be
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: nasty about it. We're not nasty about it on this program.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: But when when a lawmaker is coming on, when the
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: candidate's coming on, we do expect for them to answer
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: some tough questions. And you know you can do that
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: respectfully and clearly. The Senate Majority Leader and those who
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: oppose President Trump's agenda, they're under the gun, they're feeling
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: their feeling the pressure. So I felt it was important
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: for you to hear the entire interview, and you're going
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: to get a little bit of First of all, by
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: the way, John Thune is pretty much enraged over Mike
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Lee and Tommy Tubberville. I believe Bill Haggerty now because
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: those are the guys that are saying, we're not going
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: to go into recess. We're not going we're not going
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: home for the campaign. We're gonna stay, we're gonna work,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: we're gonna try to get the same America through. And
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Thune is really upset about that, as are a lot
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: of the other establishment Republicans. You can sort of tell
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: who is on what side by their reaction to that.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: And you've got John Thune, you've got Cornyn, You've got
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Tellus and all that crowd on one side, Roger Marshall
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: out of Kansas, and on the other side, you've got
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: the actual Trump supporting Trump supporting senators. So anyway, I
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: want to play this, so if you'll give me some grace, here,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: this is the interview that the Majority leader did on
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: handity last night, and it's important for you to I
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: want you to hear the way the questions were asked,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: and I want you to listen to see if there
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: were any follow up questions in this interview that Handity
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: conducted with John Pune.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Let's take a lesson with more Senate Majority Leader John
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: thun a majority of the good to see if thank
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: you for being here, being with you President, putting a
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: lot of pressure on you the Senate to get it done.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: There are two pads to it towards it.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: The Mike Leepath you stay in session, you take to
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: the floor real filibuster, versus the Lindsay Graham method, which
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: was he thought you could do it through reconciliation.
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: Right, Well, I think probably the best path to success
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: is through budget reconciliation, and there aren't We can't do
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: everything in budget reconciliation, but we can do parts of it.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: The one thing about the talking filibuster, and it hasn't
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: been used in something like one hundred years. People point
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: to the Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty four that
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: actually was done under regular order. They invoke culture passed
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: it that way. But you turn control of the floor
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: over to the Democrats. It's not only unlimited debate it's
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: unlimited amendments, and the Democrats will have a long list
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: of amendments, and so every time they get an amendment,
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: get a considered, it gets disposed of.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: The clock resets.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: Every Democrat can give two hours of speeches, so that's
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: forty seven or times two ninety four hours of speeches,
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: and then every time you have a vote on an amendment,
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: you go back start all over again. So the Democrats,
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: this is something that they're salivating over the opportunity to
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: have as a talking filibuster. So that isn't the best
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: path in my view. And frankly, I don't think we
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: probably have the votes in the Senate among Republicans even
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: to get on a talking filibuster. But I do think
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: we have a possibility through budget reconciliation to get safe if.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: You could go either way.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Are you, as leader you're trying to work with the
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: rest of the Senate to get it done?
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: We are, and I think you know we've had it
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: up now. It was the penning business in the Senate
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: for over two weeks late February early March.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: We had five votes on it.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: We voted on Photo I D, we voted on Photo ID,
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: and citizenship to register it on the entire Save Act
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: or two different times. And we've also voted on no
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: Boys and Girls Sports. So we've had five votes portions
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: of or all of the Save America Act.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: The problem we have is we have no Democrats.
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: The Democrats Block voted against it in spite of the
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: fact that there are at least a dozen Democrats, and
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: I have the quotes who have come out publicly and
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: said they're four photo id but when we actually got
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: a chance to put up or shut up on the
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: floor of the Senate, they all voted no. Let's talk
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: about the radicalization of this Democratic Party. Graham Platner now
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: is a replacement Elsayed in Michigan.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: I call him six yender tell Rico.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Right in Texas, good luck there, And of course by
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: championing the rights of biological men to have access to
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: abortion and God is non binary, not things I thought
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: we'd be debating in such an important midterm election here.
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: Correct, And they are so far out of the mainstream.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: And you look at Texas for example, in tall Rico
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: and some of those positions, I mean, it's like, where
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: is this coming from. This is a Democrat party that
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: has really lost its identity. They have moved so far left.
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: And of course you've got you know, people who openly
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: out there espousing and endorsing socialism, which is why you
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: have the Democrat Socialists of America now. And some of
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: these positions that you mentioned that the candidate in Maine has,
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: I mean, these are these are positions that if we
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: have good candidates and we resource them, we ought to
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: be able to beat the Democrats and beat them badly.
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: But we've got to make sure that we're out there
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: talking about how we contrast with them and defining them.
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: I mean people, these gays, these guys trying to get
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: away with Tallarrico's trying to get away with, you know,
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: portraying himself as a moderate in Texas.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: He has anything but that.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: He is a far left liberal in every way. And
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: so but we can't. We've got to get out there
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: and tell people about it.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: What do you believe you.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Can get accomplished before the August recess and then you
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: come back in September. How imperative is it that these
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: items get voted on?
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: Well, first off, I mean, we're going to do Russia sanctions,
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: and that's a trip to Lindsey Graham, who we all
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: are going to you know, commemorate tomorrow.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: I think we'll get that done. And then we got
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: to fund the government, and I think we're on a
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: path to do that. You know, Lee, Chuck Schumer shutting
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: it down. We'll see. I mean, I'm going to find
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: out this week.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: But I think there's also a there's a package of
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: nominations it's about seventy four noms at the presence put
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: forward that we've now we're moving him in block will
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: do that. We will probably have a vote on the
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: Clarity Act, which is the Digital Assets Bill legislation that's
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: in front of the Senate. We'll see if the Democrats
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: give us the votes to get on that. There's also
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: a possibility on nil legislation. I had a couple of
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: conversations over the weekend with people like Ted Cruz, Eric
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: Schmid have been working on that issue, and that's the
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: college sports issue. A lot of people are interested in that.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: How I know the President has leaned on you hard,
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: He's leaned on Mike Johnson hard. You have very slim majorities,
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: you know, in terms of his priorities. What percentage of
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: those do you believe you can have done before the
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: midterm elections, because he's got a lot on his wish
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: list he does.
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: I mean, the main thing he wants, Sean is, you know,
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: is the Save America Act, and that is something where
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: like I said, we've had multiple votes on it. Now
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: not a single Democrat has voted for it. I think
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: we continue to put him on the record, but we've
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: had five different votes on it already.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: We can get a chance to vote on it again.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: The best way to do that would be in a
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: budget reconciliation bill, and that would enable us not only
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: to do to get a vote on that in some
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: form it's not going to be everything the president wants,
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: but also do something with the military where we desperately
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: need to ensure that our military has everything they need
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: to deter and defend our country, and particularly with what's
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: going on in the Middle East right now. And there's
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: some stuff in there for agriculture. It's to build a
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: house passed, and it's no easy feat in the Senate.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: We don't have fifty votes for it today, but hopefully
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: we can get there getting rid of the filibuster non starter.
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: You don't have the votes, well, we don't, and I've
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: actually told I've had this conversation with the president many times,
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: I think, as you know. And I actually suggested at
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: one point that they his team come up and sit
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: down visit with some of my colleagues. So they came
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: up met with about twenty Republican senators in fifteen or
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: no on getting rid of filibuster.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: The votes aren't there to do it.
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: I know he thinks he can persuade people, but there
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: are a lot of folks who are very a This
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: is a hard position for a lot of Senate Republicans.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: All right, all right, So there you have it. That
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: was That was a softball interview, ladies and gentlemen. That's
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: what one sounds like. That's what it looks like. It
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: was a softball interview. Now, there are a couple of
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: things here. You heard the Senate majority leaders say there
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: are hard liners in the Republican circle inside the US Senate,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: hard liners who stand opposed to President Trump's agenda. That
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: needs to be addressed. Now here's I'm going to explain
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: why why fun will not come on this program. Now,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Hannity was very, very sympathetic, very conciliatory. You heard Hannity
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: mention you have a slim majority. All right, those are
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: the talking points. It doesn't matter if it's a slim majority.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: You've got the majority, You control the House, you control
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: the Senate. Let's get Kraken. You never heard the Democrats
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: complaining about any of that, did you, whenever they were
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: in charge? No, of course not so. So you've you've
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: got to you've got to listen to some of the
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: buzzwords here to understand what's really going on. This was disappointing.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Fox News did not used to be like this, But
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: it's almost as if they're bending over backwards to help
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: to help John Thune out here. So there are a
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: couple of things that should have happened. There should have
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: been follow up questions, and there were no follow up questions.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: For example, he told Sean Hannity that there are fifteen
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Republican senators senators who staunchly oppose nuking the filibuster. Now,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: if the majority leader would have been on this program,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: I would have said, well, Senator Thune, can you tell
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: me who those those fifteen Republican senators are? No, I
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: probably can't go down that path. Senator tell us who
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: those fifteen fifteen senators are? Who are blocking the president's agenda. No,
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to do that. And you know what
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: I would have done at that point, I would have
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: put out the full list of senators. Is it Bill Haggerty,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: is it Marshall Blackburn? Yes or no? I would go
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: down each each, Is it James Langford? Yes or no?
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, just right down the list. That's what you
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: should That's what should have happened last night. Now, the
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: other thing that was not asked was this notion that
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: the Senate is not allowing President Trump to make any
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: recess appointments. He is the only president in modern political
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: history who has not been allowed to make recess appointments.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: And that should have been addressed last night. And it's
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: a very simple question, Senator, you guys are not going
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: into recess. Is the first time in modern political history
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: that a president has not been allowed to make recess appointments.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Why are you obstructing the president? Very simple? And that,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen, is why the Majority leader will not
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: come on this program. I mean, you give credit where
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: credit is due, Speaker Johnson. We call him out when
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: he's done something that we disagree with. We praise him
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: when he does something we do agree with, but he
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: still comes on this program no matter what. Same with
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: President Trump, but the Majority Leader, he's a thin skin fella,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: and you can tell he's got the squinty eye, got
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: that evil eye, that's what he's got. And it popped
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: out a couple of times during the interview on Handy,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: which I'm not sure why because that was like a
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: love fest. So the reality here, folks, and we've been
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: trying to prepare this, prepare you for this. It is
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: not going to happen. There is not going to be
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: a Save America Act. They're not going to nut the filibuster.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: That's not going to happen. And that's why you've got
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: John Thune and Roger Marshall and all these other guys
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: out there now. Really they're upset at Senator Mike Lee
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: and all the others, Tommy Tumberville. And the reason why
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: they're upset is because they're getting the calls. You guys
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: are lighting up the phone lines, You are making a difference,
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: and you are pushing back, and these establishment rhinos don't
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: like that one iota. All Right, we've got to take
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: a break here. I've got so much more to say
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: about this but it was important for you to hear
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: for yourself. I mean, did you consider that interview on
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Fox News to be I don't know, hard hitting. Do
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: you think are you satisfied with the responses you got
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: from the Majority leader because he's basically saying, well, there's
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: really just nothing we can do. It's you know, our
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: hands are tied, all right? Nine oh one two six
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: zero five to nine two six, we're gonna get this
• 14:51

  Speaker 3: nine two six. We'll be Ryan Pack America.

• 15:49
  Speaker 3: you heard?
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: Well, thanks for taking my call. Mister storms and I
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: say he's the leader to Senate. They're going to tech
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: their own. President Trump has Article two, second three powers.
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: He can convene the Senate to come back. They're going
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: to sneak out on their vacations. He can convene them,
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: under extraordinary conditions to come back and get everybody out
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: on that floor to make everybody in the country know
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: exactly how all of them stand on the Save America Act.
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: It's right there in the second and Article two. But
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: I see Trump doesn't really understand the Constitution. He does
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: have powers to look, they're not going to do it
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: to fill a buster. They're not going to do that.
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: They're just not. But Trump can get everybody out there.
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: He can call them back. He has the power to
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: do that. But I don't know if you've noticed that
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: Trump doesn't seem to He doesn't want to press the
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: test button and go over certain lines. Just like with
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: the courts. If the slower court slaps him down, he
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: takes us to the Supreme Court. They say, well, you
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: can do with this, mister Trump. You won't have to
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: listen to the lower court. And what do the lower
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: courts do? They go back and defy the Supreme Court.
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: And what does Trump do? He listens to the lower courts.
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: What's in essences like breaking the law? Isn't it if
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: the Supreme Court already ruled order it on one way?
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: But he can he can at least stick a thumb
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: in the Senate's eye. And everybody on that floor is
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: going to have to show exactly how they feel about
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: the Save America Act and how they would vote on it.
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: So let the whole country see who to rotten apples
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: are there and who's actually standing. This is a this
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: is a crisis in our country.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Anthony, I want to know. Do you want to know
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: who those fifteen Republicans are? Those fifteen Republican senators who
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: won't look the felobuster?
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you see.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: If we don't look, here's the problem. It isn't We
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: don't need we don't need the Vice president for the
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: time breaking voter. He got fifteen Republican senators that are
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: standing against it. It's not going anywhere, and that's right.
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: Finish We know that. My thought is that we know that.
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: But President Trump can let everybody get this, would get
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: the Democrats out there too, would have to vote. But
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: he has to do whatever the constitution allows him to do.
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: I mean, he can't make the decision or to fill
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: a buster, but he can call both houses back one
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: or the other back, it doesn't matter. And let him
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: do whatever he can do to like I said, stick
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: an eye or fulfilling these people's eyes, and at least
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: let the public know, the voting public.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: No.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Look, here's the problem, Anthony, and this is now. As
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: I said about a year ago, when I saw how
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: all this was going to play out, and I started saying,
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: we are running the clock here, and we had people
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: calling in and saying, Todd, You're just you're making a
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: mountain out of a mole hill. No, I was not
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: making a mountain out of a mole hill. I know
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: how these people operate. And the fact of the matter is,
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: even if they do pass the Save America Act, there's
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: no way to implement that in time for the meterm elections. Now,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: this is a very bad suit and it's got to
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: be addressed. All right, nine O one two six zero
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: five nine two six. We'll be right back. All right,
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Sterns Radio Show.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: I've got to share this with you. This is all
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: you Kansas listeners, what is going on with Senator Roger Marshall.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: And I say that because he's he's all upset. He
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: has his panties in a wad. Senator Marshall telling a
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: podcaster that he's upset at conservative media and he sends
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: their news coverage, specifically Fox and Newsmacks, that that news
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: coverage is making his parents man. So the implication, I
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: guess is his parents are in there probably what eighties, seventies, eighties,
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: I guess. And he's saying they sit at home and
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: they watch Fox and Newsmacks and guess what, they're mad
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: at me. They're mad at Majority Leader John Thune, They're
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: mad at Mitch McConnell, Countress Dissol. There's this purity test.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: I feel this anger more than ever before. He's really upset,
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: and he says his mommy and daddy are angry. Well,
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: I want to address this to the senator. And I
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: know he listens to the show, and I like the senator.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: He's a good guy, But dude, what are you doing here? Really?
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: You're going down this path? Maybe just maybe your mommy
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: and daddy are angry at you, Senator because you are
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: obstructing the president's agenda. Maybe that's the problem. And by
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: the way, I don't blame your mom or dad, one
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: bed Senator, I'd be mad too. All right, let's go
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: to the phones. Nine oh one two six zero five
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: nine two six Chris North Carolina ws I C Hi, Chris.
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: What's say you?
• 21:01
  Speaker 10: Hey, Todd? Thanks for taking my call. Well, you know,
• 21:05
  Speaker 10: the Republicans deserve to lose the midterms. As much as
• 21:09
  Speaker 10: I hate to say that, Tod, they keep doing this
• 21:13
  Speaker 10: to us. And I'm a trump Man. I voted in
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: every election. We're always there to vote. But every time
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: they do the same thing to us. And what they're doing,
• 21:24
  Speaker 10: they're letting soon be the bad guy. Meanwhile, the Marsia
• 21:27
  Speaker 10: Blackburns of the world set back and won't even open
• 21:30
  Speaker 10: their mouths. Will them not open their mouths? Then all
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: we need to hear. And so if they're not punished,
• 21:39
  Speaker 10: how does this ever stop? Because because here's what it's
• 21:43
  Speaker 10: going to end up. Then it will be the Americans people,
• 21:46
  Speaker 10: what the media will say. And every if the Americans
• 21:50
  Speaker 10: fault for not coming out and vote, well, what the
• 21:54
  Speaker 10: hello is there a reason to come out and vote
• 21:57
  Speaker 10: If they're not going to do what they say they're
• 21:59
  Speaker 10: gonna do.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: It's a fair question. It is a fair question. And
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: and Chris, I my default answer to this is that
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: I know they're horrible and they do deserve to lose,
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: but not this time. We've we've got to protect Donald
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Trump and we've got to we've got to stop these
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: these radical socialists. That is an incredible danger. But but
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: again on the flip side of it, to your point,
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: we know that these Republicans are going to sabotage President
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Trump's agenda. So it's darned if you do, darned if
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: you don't. So I'm just looking out for my president
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: right now. That's all I'm doing.
• 22:36
  Speaker 10: Well, my next question is is why listen. Donald Trump's
• 22:40
  Speaker 10: the man. He's always been the biggest man in the room,
• 22:43
  Speaker 10: can get anything done, large and in charge, yes, but
• 22:48
  Speaker 10: he's not been able to do that. I don't see
• 22:51
  Speaker 10: the same man. I don't know what's happened.
• 22:54
  Speaker 9: Well, I.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Have a theory about that too, Chris, and I will
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: just I'll drump this nugget. We'll talk about it sometime
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: and end up a little bit later. But I think
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: the president sees that he's a lame duck president. He's
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: sort of heading into that, you know, those last two years.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: That's it, you know, there's that's it. He's going Tomorrowlanco.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: And I'm telling you that the the bigger problem is
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: that the Senate is preparing for that. They are ready,
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: they are ready to bolt. And I'm telling you the
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: House is going to be in the same in that
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: in that same mindset after they get out of the midterms.
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: You're right.
• 23:34
  Speaker 10: One last question, I'll let you go. I know your
• 23:37
  Speaker 10: personal friends with Blackburn. I got two questions for her.
• 23:43
  Speaker 10: Is she fourthoon and is she still taking the five
• 23:47
  Speaker 10: hundred thousand dollars for when she was listened to on
• 23:50
  Speaker 10: the telephone? Meanwhile, less American people can't be doing that.
• 23:54
  Speaker 10: I'd like to know them, answer Todd if you could
• 23:56
  Speaker 10: ever get them.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Chris, I'll do my best. And I haven't Senator Marshall
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Blackbritain to be governor. And I've been pretty open about that.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: And you know, for one of the reasons why is
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: I've known her for many many years. I think she's
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: a good I think she's a good lady. And Chris,
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: I do want to say this, and I Chris, I
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: do appreciate your call. One of the big problems we've
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: got on the Republican side of the ledger is if
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: you have a senator or a lawmaker and they don't
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: necessarily they're not there like they're maybe ninety eight percent,
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: there are people within the Republican Party that will declare
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: war on you on the two percent and they'll hold
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: a grudge. Now, say what you want to about Lindsey Graham,
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: but the man didn't do that, and that's what he was.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: That's why he was well loved by many, is that
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: you know, he would fight you, but then at the
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: end of the day, if you had an R behind
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: your name, he would embrace you. And maybe you guys
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: were at war over whether or not we should be
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: and you you disagreed about that. But on the pro
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: life side, nobody was more pro life than Lindsey Graham,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: So maybe you could find common ground there. So it's
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: we're not trying to find common ground anymore in the
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Republican Party. We're trying to find something to fight somebody about.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: That's not good because that doesn't win elections. Uh, let's
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: go to Charles North Carolina.
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: W s i C.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: We got big WS Iz calls right out of the gates.
• 25:30
  Speaker 11: Hey Charles, Hey Todd, Hey Todd, your caller at the
• 25:36
  Speaker 11: end of the last at the first part of your
• 25:39
  Speaker 11: show is spot on. And I think that President Trump
• 25:43
  Speaker 11: just needs to go ahead and invoke Article two section three.
• 25:48
  Speaker 11: I listened to that interview last night with Hannity, and
• 25:51
  Speaker 11: I was just thoroughly unimpressed with both Soon and Hendry.
• 25:56
  Speaker 11: There was no follow up questions. It was a complete
• 25:59
  Speaker 11: salt interview. And I just think that what the President's
• 26:05
  Speaker 11: going to have to do is he's gonna have to
• 26:07
  Speaker 11: just come out. I'd like to see him do it
• 26:09
  Speaker 11: today after Lindsey Graham's funeral and just say, look, under
• 26:12
  Speaker 11: Article two, section three, I'm convenient an emergency session of
• 26:16
  Speaker 11: the Senate for the sole purpose of passing the save Ack.
• 26:20
  Speaker 11: And I think he needs to do that with John
• 26:23
  Speaker 11: Thune and Chuck Schumer president and he just needs to say, look,
• 26:28
  Speaker 11: I demand it. Eighty percent of the American people demand it,
• 26:31
  Speaker 11: and you guys are going to get it done. And
• 26:34
  Speaker 11: you're not going on your August recess. You're not going
• 26:37
  Speaker 11: on Stummer vacation. I will keep you here three days
• 26:41
  Speaker 11: or three months, even if it means you're not going
• 26:44
  Speaker 11: to go home and campaign for the midterms, campaign for
• 26:50
  Speaker 11: the midterms because they want to get re elected. I think,
• 26:55
  Speaker 11: I just think if you did that and you put
• 26:57
  Speaker 11: him just by attrition, those guys want to go home
• 27:00
  Speaker 11: and be on vacation so bad, I promise you God,
• 27:04
  Speaker 11: they would save like a wet taco and that say
• 27:07
  Speaker 11: that would pass.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: I I hear what you're saying, Charles. I don't think
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: it would. I still don't think it would pass. I
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: think there is a lot of hatred and animosity that
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: is deep seated in the Senate directed at Donald J. Trump,
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: and I just I don't think we know the extent
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: of that.
• 27:27
  Speaker 10: But for.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Thune said a couple of things that really got my attention.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: And it was at the end when he talked about
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: the hard liners in the Senate's talking about Republicans and
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: then those fifteen Republicans who refused to knot the filibuster.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, how do you overcome those odds unless you
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: name names, and if any of those people are up
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: for you know, reelection, maybe that's where you dangle the
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: carrot here. I don't know, it's Charles, the establishment. They've
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: got us over a barrel here, because because their argument
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: is going to be, yeah, we screwed you, but if
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: we don't get re elected, then they're going to screw
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: President Trump. So it's damned if you do damned if
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: you don't.
• 28:13
  Speaker 11: Well, yeah, and I understand that. And I tell you, Todd,
• 28:15
  Speaker 11: I did this just now before I called you. I
• 28:18
  Speaker 11: did the same thing you did a few a week
• 28:20
  Speaker 11: or so ago. I actually called John Thune's office, and
• 28:22
  Speaker 11: just like you, I got a recording. But I told
• 28:25
  Speaker 11: him that that he's responsible and for not getting to
• 28:30
  Speaker 11: stay back passed. He can get the votes, he has
• 28:34
  Speaker 11: a majority. I'm sick of him being a stumbling block
• 28:37
  Speaker 11: with these recess appointments and everything. And it's Pete And
• 28:41
  Speaker 11: I told him, I said, it's people like you that
• 28:44
  Speaker 11: every time I get a text message from you or
• 28:46
  Speaker 11: any other Republicans official or whatever wanting money, well all
• 28:51
  Speaker 11: I do is deleted. I'm not giving those guys at dime.
• 28:54
  Speaker 11: And I told him, I said, you're dad sposed to
• 28:56
  Speaker 11: lose in my vote. I'm tested to sit out and
• 28:58
  Speaker 11: just let Michael Whatley loo just to pishy guys off
• 29:02
  Speaker 11: and show you that we are tired of you guys,
• 29:05
  Speaker 11: you know, not listening to your voters. I mean that
• 29:09
  Speaker 11: this is Trump. He's just got to play hardball and
• 29:12
  Speaker 11: throw down. And Todd, You're right, if the Save Act
• 29:14
  Speaker 11: may not pass, Evanton does. He does that. But I
• 29:18
  Speaker 11: think you could at least expose in shame of enough
• 29:21
  Speaker 11: of these senators to where they just put their tail
• 29:24
  Speaker 11: between their legs and they just might vote to past pass.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: Well, this is why you've got Roger Marshall out there.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: He was just Unhusmax a little while ago, and he's
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: whining because you guys are are calling in. They know
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: that they've enraged the base of the party. They know that,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: and they're they're demanding that Mike Lee and Ted Cruz
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: and all the others stand down. I'm saying you got
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: to double down. And look, if I guess, one of
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: the reasons why they haven't removed John Thune is because
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: even if you remove John Thune, you've got fifteen votes
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: that are going against as the president. They got nowhere
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: to go, they got they've got no paths to victory there.
• 30:06
  Speaker 11: Yeah, well, I don't know. I mean, I just think
• 30:09
  Speaker 11: that I just think, God, I just think that the
• 30:13
  Speaker 11: president needs to fight a little harder and if nothing
• 30:15
  Speaker 11: else is a show of just to reignite the base,
• 30:19
  Speaker 11: just cancel this August recess. Make these guys stay in
• 30:23
  Speaker 11: town and work clause. It just seems like all they
• 30:25
  Speaker 11: do is take vacations in their own recess. They're not
• 30:30
  Speaker 11: doing squad and they're making all of this money. And
• 30:33
  Speaker 11: you know as well as I do, the American people
• 30:35
  Speaker 11: can't take can't afford to take five weeks off in
• 30:37
  Speaker 11: the summer. And then they were off what July fourth,
• 30:39
  Speaker 11: and it's Memorial Day, and before that it was Easter
• 30:42
  Speaker 11: coming up. It's going to be I don't know what
• 30:44
  Speaker 11: after the September. Says it'll be something. They'll invent something
• 30:48
  Speaker 11: if they had to. But I just think it's it's
• 30:51
  Speaker 11: a symbolic gesture that he needs to reconvene that emergency
• 30:56
  Speaker 11: session and just see what happens.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: And you never know, the President may may throw us
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: all for you know, throw a curveball here, and maybe
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: that's it. I mean, the president does under Article two,
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: Section three, he does have that authority. I think the
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: caveat is it has to be doing an emergency or
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: a specific disagreement over a German and I think that
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: that protecting our elections is in fact an emergency. I
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: think it rises to that level. So let's see what
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: happens at that point. Though there's still no guarantee that
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: the Senate Republicans would do the right thing. So Charles,
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: I hear your frustration. I really do. And ladies and gentlemen,
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: I would urge you. And here's the thing. If they're
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: not taking your calls at the district office or their
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: offices in Washington, then you need to go to their
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: town hall meetings. You need to ask those questions of
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: your elected leaders there. And I'll say this, I'm just
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: gonna I will say this. Coming up, we're going to
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: be talking to a guy by the name of State
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Representative Monte Fritz. Now he's running for governor. The guy's
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: got no money, He's got no major, major, national or
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: international donors. He's the only thing he's got going for
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: him is the grassroots of the Republican Party here in Tennessee.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: So he's running in the Republican primary, which is coming
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: up in a couple of weeks. What is the next week,
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: I think. And he's running against Senator Marshall Blackburn, and
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: he's running against Congressman John Rose. Now something interesting is happening,
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: and this is this is Marshall Blackburn's race to lose
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: her polling data. At one point she was up over
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: fifty three to fifty four percent. That was her lead
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: over the other two guys. Well, there's new polling data out.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: One is from an organization called the McLaughlin Associates, the
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: President Trump's pollsters, John McLaughlin, that group. They now have
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Blackburn over her opponents by fifteen points. She's her numbers
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: are dropping quickly. Congressman Rose at twenty nine percent of
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: the vote and state Representative Fritz at twelve percent fifteen percent.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Don't know if now the polling is all over the place.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Another poll has Marcia Blackburn up by thirty one points,
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: but the reality is that means she's dropped by twenty
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: by twenty something points. So the question is, and look,
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: if Blackburn, you know, it's going to have to be
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: a complete collapse, you know, for any of the other
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: two guys to you know, to regain. But something is
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: going on in the state of Tennessee right now, and
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: you wonder if what's happening in Washington is beginning to
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: have an impact because Senator Fritz is the only guy
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: willing to debate is Republican opponents Rose and Blackburn will
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: not debate at all. Period. They're not going to debate.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: Monte Fritz yesterday was at an event there was no
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: air conditioning. He stood there for two hours and took
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: questions from regular joes. I'm telling you that kind of
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: thing makes a difference when it comes to elections. Gotta
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: take a break. Nine oh one two six zero five

  Speaker 3: that to shave your legs. But the zoot suit would
• 35:20

  Speaker 13: I definitely I could pull off the hat.

  Speaker 12: Thank you. It's great to see you.
• 38:55
  Speaker 11: Brother.
• 38:55
  Speaker 12: It's good to be in the Liberty University Bunker.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: With I'll tell you you're we're the we're the most
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: secure bunker News bunker in America years ago when oh,
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: a good friend of ours, mutual friend, David Sitton. Yes,
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: he came and he was helping us out here at
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: the radio station, and he said, is it okay if
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: I carry here on? You know, inside the radio station.
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: I said, David, this is not NPR, this is we
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: promote you to the chief of security here. So we
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: are a gun toting, bible clinging radio station and talk shows. Yeah,
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: uh you. We've got a lot to talk about and
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: the campaign and I want to know how that's going.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: But first, one of the big issues that a lot
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: of Republicans have been facing are the hecklers out there
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: on the campaign trail. And I wanted to play to
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: this is some brand new audio that came out. These
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: are some radical leftists who are out deleting a more
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: protest chance. Let's take a listen to this.
• 39:57
  Speaker 8: Will right back.
• 40:02
  Speaker 14: We well, we will fight stealing from the farm and
• 40:11
  Speaker 14: these old man cheating redrawing those maps so they'll win
• 40:15
  Speaker 14: some day.
• 40:16
  Speaker 15: But in every single town we won't back down.
• 40:20
  Speaker 14: We know people say no kings and no crowns.
• 40:27
  Speaker 12: I think I think that poor person should have taken
• 40:31
  Speaker 12: courus in highspital I think they're a little bit of
• 40:36
  Speaker 12: work on the voice.
• 40:37
  Speaker 9: And the beat.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: It's you know, it's uh.
• 40:39
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I you know. I'm a veteran. We many veterans
• 40:44
  Speaker 12: that have have stood up for the right of people
• 40:47
  Speaker 12: to dissent, and you appreciate that. But some of the
• 40:50
  Speaker 12: things that we that we hear sometimes the whole Marxist
• 40:55
  Speaker 12: ideology is so deeply rooted in some segments of versus
• 41:00
  Speaker 12: society it's troubling.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: I you know, that has become a big issue. You
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: were talking about this really in the state of Tennessee
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: before it became a national issue, and we've certainly seen
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: the rise of the so called democratic socialists I call
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: them communists. How concerned are you about about those folks
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: getting elected and what they might do to the country.
• 41:23
  Speaker 12: I am concerned. I'm concerned about lots of things. I'm
• 41:27
  Speaker 12: concerned about the Islamization of Tennessee, but I am more
• 41:32
  Speaker 12: concerned about some of those who are in politics who
• 41:36
  Speaker 12: actually hate America. They hate the concept that we're a
• 41:40
  Speaker 12: Christian nation, a Christian heritage. They hate the fact that
• 41:45
  Speaker 12: we have a constitution, that we're republic and not a democracy.
• 41:49
  Speaker 12: And I don't know what they're being taught in schools,
• 41:52
  Speaker 12: but that's greatly troubling. I think our greatest threat resides within.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of debate right now now and a
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: lot of anger being directed at the US Senate, which
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: is controlled by Republicans. The majority leader was on Fox
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: News Channel last night saying they're at least fifteen senators
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: who oppose a new king the filibuster, which means our
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: elections will will be compromised in some cases. What's going
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: on here with these Republicans in the US Senate and
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: why won't they I'm just curious why they're not calling
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: for new leadership based on what John Thune has done.
• 42:29
  Speaker 12: And I think they should be calling for new leadership
• 42:32
  Speaker 12: because just the Save Act has been a tremendous failure,
• 42:35
  Speaker 12: I think for the United States Senate. I think i'd
• 42:37
  Speaker 12: like to see that complete list of fifteen. I haven't
• 42:40
  Speaker 12: seen it yet. I don't know that Cinder Thune has
• 42:42
  Speaker 12: released that. But I think the big problem is too
• 42:45
  Speaker 12: many weak mails and politics, too many folks that won't
• 42:48
  Speaker 12: stand up for what is right, what the Constitution says,
• 42:51
  Speaker 12: what the word of Almighty God says. And I think
• 42:53
  Speaker 12: we need to return to that.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: You have not been shy about that. I mean, your
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: faith has been a very very central focus of your campaign,
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: and you've gotten some blowback as a result of that.
• 43:05
  Speaker 12: We have, and that's okay. There's an active cancel culture, Todd.
• 43:09
  Speaker 12: You know, I didn't have a great desire to do this.
• 43:12
  Speaker 12: There's not something I decided or laid on my heart.
• 43:15
  Speaker 12: I just wanted to run for governor. I feel like
• 43:17
  Speaker 12: I'm called to do this, and so that gives me
• 43:19
  Speaker 12: great liberty to say exactly what I think. It gives
• 43:22
  Speaker 12: me a chance to uplift Christ as King everywhere I go.
• 43:26
  Speaker 12: Some people are offended by that. Better than be offended
• 43:29
  Speaker 12: and repent than spend eternity in hell.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: The issue of Islam has certainly played a big role
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: in Tennessee. It looks like taxpayers are footing the bill
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: for Muslim schools. We have no idea. Well, I think
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: we've got a pretty good idea of what they're teaching
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: in those schools. If you are elected governor, what would
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: you do about that?
• 43:49
  Speaker 12: Well, one of the first things we need to do,
• 43:51
  Speaker 12: I think Governor Leah letter probably two months ago suggesting
• 43:55
  Speaker 12: asking that he declare Care Counsel for American Islamic Relations,
• 44:01
  Speaker 12: the Muslim Brotherhood, and other of those what I think
• 44:04
  Speaker 12: are enemies of the United States, both to be enemies
• 44:07
  Speaker 12: and foreign terrorist organizations. I think that's a necessary step.
• 44:11
  Speaker 12: I think that Islam is not a religion. It's a
• 44:15
  Speaker 12: political movement, and it's a movement by force at the
• 44:18
  Speaker 12: point of a spear or a weapon. And I think
• 44:21
  Speaker 12: it's incongruent with our US and Tennessee Constitution, and I
• 44:24
  Speaker 12: think we have to first assert that fact.
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: Do Some people will push back and say, well, no, no, no,
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: this is a matter of religious liberty. If you're going
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: to fund the Christian schools, you gotta fund everybody else's
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: religious school Yeah.
• 44:37
  Speaker 12: I think most take that from this bitter lie that
• 44:41
  Speaker 12: has been told about a separation of church and state.
• 44:43
  Speaker 12: Many people point to the First Amendment. They forget that
• 44:46
  Speaker 12: first word in the First Amendment is Congress shall make
• 44:49
  Speaker 12: no law. Many are unread in our Tennessee Constitution that
• 44:53
  Speaker 12: asserts an article one, section three that all men have
• 44:56
  Speaker 12: a natural, interfeesable right to worship Almighty God, the God
• 44:59
  Speaker 12: of the Bible. President Washington, General Washington, Thomas Jeffer, those
• 45:04
  Speaker 12: weren't perfect people, but they did have a Christian worldview.
• 45:09
  Speaker 12: And if we allow that to be dissipated, if we
• 45:12
  Speaker 12: allow ourselves to be silenced by the cancel culture, then
• 45:16
  Speaker 12: what we're doing to our posterity is unaccepted.
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: I am I'm really shocked. And I wrote something yesterday
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: I said something is happening in Tennessee and full disclosure.
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: I endorsed Marshall Blackburn early early on, and we worked
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: very hard to be fair and balanced and I'm just
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: you know, always let people know that. But something is
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: going on in this state. And you have had the
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: largest crowds of any candidate out there, I mean massive
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: crowds of people. Yesterday you were speaking to a huge
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: crowd two hours. I watched as you took question after question.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: You answered those questions, no air conditioning. Are you sensing
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: that something is happening and if so, what do you
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: think it is? Why are people being attracted to your campaign?
• 46:01
  Speaker 12: I think it's not me. I think it's the liberty
• 46:04
  Speaker 12: unless government todd and I think there's also a repulsion
• 46:08
  Speaker 12: of the career DC politician, that the politician. And it's
• 46:13
  Speaker 12: not just Senator Blackburn, it's it's Congressman Rose as well,
• 46:16
  Speaker 12: their unwillingness to debate, to take the fishbowl and set
• 46:20
  Speaker 12: it on the stage and take questions from the public,
• 46:23
  Speaker 12: and then let's rebut those together. I think there's a
• 46:27
  Speaker 12: I saw when Congressman Rose decided. You know, at first
• 46:31
  Speaker 12: he said, we're going to do the debate. Channel five
• 46:33
  Speaker 12: in Nashville is going to do whether or not Marsha
• 46:35
  Speaker 12: showed up, and then he renegged on that promise. And
• 46:38
  Speaker 12: I will tell you the collective head drop by the
• 46:41
  Speaker 12: under thirty five generation. He lost them. That's the day
• 46:45
  Speaker 12: I won.
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: I have noticed that that the crowds coming to your
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: events are young, and I think these are these are
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: young conservatives maybe coming out of turning point, you would say,
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: who feel like they have just been betrayed by the
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: Republican Party.
• 47:01
  Speaker 12: So Charlie Kirk was a christ and Constitution person, right.
• 47:05
  Speaker 12: I mean some of his haters were because he's stuck
• 47:08
  Speaker 12: to those things. And Charlie was not a perfect person,
• 47:12
  Speaker 12: just as Washington certainly as I'm not, but he's stayed
• 47:16
  Speaker 12: with that message and I think that resounds. I think
• 47:19
  Speaker 12: that there's a generation of Americans of Tennessee ands today
• 47:22
  Speaker 12: that are looking for assertive, foundational truth. They're tired of
• 47:28
  Speaker 12: a group of men and women who have promised to
• 47:31
  Speaker 12: do these three things or these five things, conservative constitutional principles,
• 47:35
  Speaker 12: you know, Second Amendment rights, lower taxes, you name it.
• 47:40
  Speaker 12: And the affordability crisis that many aren't willing to talk
• 47:43
  Speaker 12: about because it's a real thing. I think it is
• 47:45
  Speaker 12: Biden precipitated, but it is a real thing. And I
• 47:50
  Speaker 12: think they're ready to hear someone who will address those issues,
• 47:54
  Speaker 12: even if they don't agree with me some.
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: Of them, I think, and I think the Republican Party
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: is missing the mark on a lot of that, and
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: especially when it comes to the affordability issue. You've got
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: a lot of kids out there and they call this
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: program and they're working two and three jobs. They still
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: can't afford to make ends meet. That should not be
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: the case in America. So let's take that on in Tennessee.
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: Let's do the things that government can do without behaving
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: like socialists or Marxists. Let's lower the tax burd Let's
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: take that four percent state grocery sales tax off. I
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: think it's going to generate local revenue because I think
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: most Tennessees are going to spend those dollars on things
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: that they need and generate revenue in Shelby County, in
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: Rome County and Sullivan County. Let's reform property tax in tests.
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: Let's stop the taxation against unrealized capital gains so that
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: every four or five years we have an assessment of
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: the value and it broadens and deepens the base at
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: which we can be taxed against. That impacts homeownership and
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: impacts rent. And I think that I think those.
• 48:55
  Speaker 12: Messages and that resolve, and those are bills that I've carried.
• 48:58
  Speaker 12: I mean, it's not just a new idea. I think
• 49:01
  Speaker 12: it's time to get back to that is safe.
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: To say that the Republican Party as a whole has
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: changed Trump Trump has changed it is. We've got a
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: lot of populists that have come to the party. What
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: does what does the Republican Party look like moving forward?
• 49:17
  Speaker 12: I think we're more closely aligned with our Tennessee Republican
• 49:20
  Speaker 12: Party Guiding Principles than we are the national platform now.
• 49:23
  Speaker 12: So our Tennessee Republican Party Guiding Principles, there are eighteen
• 49:27
  Speaker 12: assertions there that our rights come from God, that they're inviolate,
• 49:31
  Speaker 12: that life begins at conception, things that we've allowed the
• 49:35
  Speaker 12: National Party to compromise on references to Almighty God in
• 49:40
  Speaker 12: our Tennessee Republican Party guiding principles were extricated from the
• 49:47
  Speaker 12: National Party, and I think that's problematic for lots of
• 49:50
  Speaker 12: young people. I think that Tennessee should lead the way
• 49:53
  Speaker 12: to push that back to where we were, and I.
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: Hope to be able to lead that many for it's
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: joining us here in studio. Maybe you have a question
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: you would like to ask, give us a call. Nine
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six. That's
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: website Fritz the number four TN dot com. That's Fritz
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: the number four TN dot com. Uh, we've got to
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: take a quick break here. Can you stick around, yes,
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: for a few more minutes?
• 50:23
  Speaker 10: Sor right.
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: Well, we're excited to have Monti Fritz joining us again.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: Give us a call. If you have a question for
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: Monty Fritz. And maybe you live in another state and
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: you're looking for answers on how you guys can fix
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: what is broken in your state party, give us a call.
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: We'll be taking those questions. Nine oh one two six
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: zero five nine two six. This is the Todd Sterns Show.
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome back everybody. It's the Tod Stearns Radio Show.
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: And I will say this, sorry, I was getting a note.
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure I can read this. Paul Shanklin, who
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: used to be Rush Lumbaugh's parody, I lives here in
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: Tennessee and to send a note, I'll share it with
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: you off air. So but anyway, we appreciate Shanklin. He's
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: a good guy. We have money for its joining us.
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: He is running for governor. And again you know it
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: on paper, it doesn't work. What you are doing doesn't
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: work here. You don't have tens of millions of dollars
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: coming from out of state or out of country groups.
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: This is all grass roots.
• 51:32
  Speaker 12: Here, it is, and that's the beauty of it. I
• 51:35
  Speaker 12: think that's the appeal for many of the young people.
• 51:38
  Speaker 12: There's a great rejection, especially from the forty and undercrowd.
• 51:43
  Speaker 12: And I would even offer some of my generation for
• 51:46
  Speaker 12: the profanity of money that has to go into a
• 51:48
  Speaker 12: statewide political campaign or even the congressional districts millions of dollars.
• 51:54
  Speaker 12: It becomes a donor class, seniority based thing, rather than
• 51:58
  Speaker 12: who's the better candidates. We're trying our best. Upset that
• 52:01
  Speaker 12: I always have two words for folks, and I've heard
• 52:03
  Speaker 12: it since last September when we decided run well many
• 52:07
  Speaker 12: you can't raise enough money, you don't know enough people,
• 52:09
  Speaker 12: and I'd say, but God, And so I feel called.
• 52:13
  Speaker 12: I'm certain of that. There's no prophetic thing that I'm
• 52:17
  Speaker 12: just you know that I've been given that anybody's given
• 52:20
  Speaker 12: me necessarily that we're going to just trounce the other
• 52:24
  Speaker 12: candidates electorally. But I do think I fully will be
• 52:28
  Speaker 12: surprised if we don't win this on August six. I
• 52:31
  Speaker 12: think it's that significant.
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: I will say this, and I agree with you, and
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: I've shared this with the other candidates. I actually asked
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: John Rose on this program. He says, I'm upset that
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: he's really upset that Marshall will not debate him. I said, well,
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: I said money Fredz told me that he would love
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: to debate you. Oh yeah, we can't do that. Wait,
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: wait a.
• 52:49
  Speaker 12: Second, Well, we had the Young Republicans up in East
• 52:52
  Speaker 12: Tennessee set up a debate a debate. Todd and Marcia
• 52:57
  Speaker 12: didn't respond. John did, and he puts some crazy conditions
• 53:01
  Speaker 12: on it. He didn't want He wanted me to answer
• 53:03
  Speaker 12: all the questions first and then him answered them, which
• 53:05
  Speaker 12: I thought was a little bit unfair. So we worked through that,
• 53:07
  Speaker 12: but he refused to be on the stage at the
• 53:10
  Speaker 12: same time, and he was obviously uncomfortable. I think that
• 53:14
  Speaker 12: people across Tennessee, from the Mississippi River to the Smoky Mountains,
• 53:17
  Speaker 12: they're saying, if these two great people, if they're unwilling
• 53:22
  Speaker 12: to debate, how are they going to respond when crisis
• 53:25
  Speaker 12: or urgency hits in Tennessee.
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: It's a good question. Let's go to the phone lines.
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: We've got some calls. Let's start with Nathan listening to
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: us in Tiptum County, Tennessee. Nathan, what's your question for
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: mister Fritz.
• 53:41
  Speaker 16: So, I'm a high school student at Tipton County, Tennessee,
• 53:44
  Speaker 16: and we've had trouble starting a Turning Point USA chapter.
• 53:47
  Speaker 16: If you're elected, how are you going to help make
• 53:50
  Speaker 16: sure the right spring the speech is in every Tennessee school.
• 53:54
  Speaker 12: Thank you. I appreciate that question that first in an
• 53:59
  Speaker 12: open vote advocacy. I have friends that are part of
• 54:02
  Speaker 12: Turning Point that are experiencing this in East Tennessee and
• 54:05
  Speaker 12: oftentimes school leadership is playing silly games like we can't
• 54:09
  Speaker 12: find a sponsor or something to be able to support
• 54:12
  Speaker 12: these chapters. I think that there's a strong desire for
• 54:15
  Speaker 12: young people like yourself to want to be in in
• 54:18
  Speaker 12: a group where that they can express and grow together
• 54:21
  Speaker 12: in Christian constitutional principles, and shame on those school systems
• 54:26
  Speaker 12: that don't want to embrace that. We will infuse some
• 54:30
  Speaker 12: of that into the curriculum. I can promise you as
• 54:33
  Speaker 12: governor of the state of Tendency, we're going to infuse
• 54:35
  Speaker 12: christ and Constitution into public education.
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: And Tennessee, Nathan, don't hang up. We're going to get
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: your information. We want to get some more intel and
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: see if we might be able to help you out
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: as well. And center state Representative, we'll pass along that
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: information to you. Nathan. Thank you for that. Let's go
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: to Memphis. Susan is listening to us. Susan, what's your
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: question for the state representative?
• 54:57
  Speaker 17: Hi, thank you so much. We appreciate Representative Fritz and
• 55:03
  Speaker 17: all of your very conservative views. However, Representative, we have
• 55:09
  Speaker 17: many friends who are very involved in pro life ministries
• 55:13
  Speaker 17: and organizations, and there is a concern among that group
• 55:19
  Speaker 17: of people that your very pro life yet abolitionist point
• 55:25
  Speaker 17: of view is might hinder women from coming and seeking
• 55:32
  Speaker 17: pro life ministry help because it will possibly lead to persecutions,
• 55:39
  Speaker 17: I'm sorry, prosecution of mothers who have had abortions. Would
• 55:44
  Speaker 17: you please address that?
• 55:45
  Speaker 18: Thank you, Susan.
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: We're gonna we're gonna let the representative address it, but
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: we're coming up on a mandatory break and you can
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: unless you can answer that in five seconds, can you
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: stick around for a few more minutes. Yes, we have
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: money Fritz with us and Susan, we're gonna have him
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: answer that question about the life movement. If you've got
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: a call, give us a holler. Nine oh one two
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six. I'm Todd Stearns.
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: This is the Tod Stearns Radio. All right, Welcome back, everybody,
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: This says the Todd Stearns Radio Show. By the way,
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: coming up Josh Jones, our chief political strategist, Liberty University grad.
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: We're gonna and and he's a you know, he lives
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: right there on that border, you know, between Tennessee and Virginia.
• 56:35
  Speaker 19: Uh.
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: But we're gonna check in with him on the whole
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: Cracker Barrel story. You know, they finally Monti Fritz, who
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: is running for governors, joining us in the studio. They
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: finally decided to to get rid of the CEO who
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: spent seven hundred million dollars to turn it Cracker Barrel
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: into basically a you know, boutique for millennials.
• 56:55
  Speaker 12: Yes, the and cocktails are not what you go to
• 56:58
  Speaker 12: cro Cracker Barrel.
• 57:00
  Speaker 10: Four.
• 57:01
  Speaker 12: We all those of us love Crackerberrell know that you
• 57:03
  Speaker 12: can go from Santa Fe to South Carolina and get
• 57:07
  Speaker 12: consistent bacon and eggs and sausage and biscuits and sweet
• 57:11
  Speaker 12: tea and coffee. Why would you depart from that?
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: It's a great question. And again you're driving cross country.
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: You've got a choice.
• 57:18
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: Do you want to have a good family meal, you
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: to go to Crackerbell. If you want to get to
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: a fist fight, you go to waffle House. So I
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: mean it's well, I do both.
• 57:25
  Speaker 12: I haven't had any fist puching waffle House. They're open later.
• 57:29
  Speaker 12: But I'm a big eggs and bacon person, so I
• 57:33
  Speaker 12: enjoy both. But I'll have to take that cautionary warning.
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: Can I tell you when I knew things were turning
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: in the culture for the worse.
• 57:40
  Speaker 12: I was.
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: I had been at Fox News for many years, flew
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: back home to I was coming. I was speaking at
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: Gaylord back when it was opery. I still call it
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: the Opera Land Hotel. And I was so excited to
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: sit down for a good country breakfast. And I just
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: ordered biscuits and gravy and they said we only serve bagels.
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, wow, we got defeated again.
• 58:03
  Speaker 12: I just it's like coming to Memphis and not being
• 58:06
  Speaker 12: able to.
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: Get grits or barbecue. Yeah, it's like, what's up with that?
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: So anyway, let's go to the phones here, Dean and
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: East Memphis. Dean, you are on the air with many friends.
• 58:18
  Speaker 20: Hey, Todd, Hey Money, how's going good?
• 58:20
  Speaker 12: Dan's good to hear from you, brother.
• 58:22
  Speaker 20: Good and good to see you last night. And Todd,
• 58:24
  Speaker 20: I just want to say thank you for hosting him today.
• 58:28
  Speaker 20: At first, people see that big giant window sticker on
• 58:32
  Speaker 20: the back of my truck and say, who's money Fritz.
• 58:35
  Speaker 20: I said, he's the only Christian constitutional conservative running for
• 58:41
  Speaker 20: governor of Tennessee. And I tell people where to go.
• 58:44
  Speaker 20: Look at the website where to go on Facebook. And
• 58:47
  Speaker 20: I also tell people nobody everybody wants to debate everybody
• 58:52
  Speaker 20: but money, and I think they're scared. And I think
• 58:56
  Speaker 20: and I've also told people that I think you're definitely
• 58:59
  Speaker 20: the dark Horst win this whole thing.
• 59:01
  Speaker 12: Thank you, Dane Dean.
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that call and thank you for that nine
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five ninety two six. If
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: you have a question for Manni Fritz.
• 59:10
  Speaker 12: Todd, could we answer the young ladies question?
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: Yes, I wanted to go back to that. So she
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: called you. She called you out on being an abolitionist. Yes,
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: how do you? Because you are pretty I mean, you
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: are a pro life candidate.
• 59:22
  Speaker 12: I think that abortion is murder, period, and I think
• 59:25
  Speaker 12: that we must provide equal protection under the law for
• 59:29
  Speaker 12: all children from conception on. Again. Our Tennessee Republican Party
• 59:34
  Speaker 12: guiding principles and God's Word asserts that life begins at conception. Right,
• 59:39
  Speaker 12: it's a great blessing. Some things important. I think many
• 59:42
  Speaker 12: people have been misled in the pro life movement by
• 59:46
  Speaker 12: planned parenthood because they've attacked this and they've they've allowed
• 59:49
  Speaker 12: planned parenthood to permeate their thought process. And I hope
• 59:53
  Speaker 12: they'll reject that first. Under the Tennessee Constitution, we can't
• 59:56
  Speaker 12: make retroactive law. Whatever law we would pass would be
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 12: in effect from that day forward. I think the law
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 12: is a teacher. I think God's law is a teacher.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 12: God's law teaches us that we can't do enough, that
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 12: we need that perfect Lamb Jesus to be saved. I
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 12: think civil law does that same thing, and it asserts
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 12: some consequences for our behaviors. I think that if we
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 12: indeed believe that that child, that life begins at conception,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 12: to not provide equal protection under the law is a
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 12: derelict thing for us to do civilly. And I think
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 12: that that means that the doctors, those hideous monsters that
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 12: have performed hundreds of abortions, should be held accountable. I
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 12: think that those dads who were part of the decision
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 12: process have some accountability, and they must be held accountable.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 12: I think the moms do. I think I heard a
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 12: story the other day. I told this one last night.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 12: There was a young lady said she had been forced
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 12: to have an abortion when she was young by her parents.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 12: I got to tell you that's child abuse, and it's
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 12: not only to sin, but it should be a crime.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 12: We should hold a civil accountability for those I think
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 12: God's going to judge us Todd. I think if he
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 12: is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore, then he will
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 12: look at the altars of Molech and Bail from three
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 12: thousand years ago the same as he looks at those
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 12: altars today where we refuse to have an accountability for
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 12: the murder of children. And I think it's time that
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 12: we provide that equal protection under the.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: Law money we've I want to get in one more
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: question before I know you have to you have to
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: skidattle out of here. When when you look at at
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: this at this country right now, what would you say
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: is the number one issue facing our nation right now?
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 12: I think that it's a lack of confidence in our
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 12: elected officials. I think that we have allowed those of
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 12: us in public office have allowed ourselves to be compromised.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 12: We don't stand up for those things that we assert
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 12: that we hold true. And I think that younger generation
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 12: part of the reason they're drawn to this CE liberty
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 12: and less government message is because we're not pulling any
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 12: punches on that. I think that there's a disse and
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 12: gain age at the polls I talked to a man
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 12: last night at the place we stayed. He said, why
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 12: should I go vote Fritz? He said, you people are
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 12: old liars. You get it. I mean it's candid, very
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 12: candid conversation. I appreciate that, but we have to turn
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 12: it around. We have to turn that so that people
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 12: in Tennessee think that someone in Nashville is honest to
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 12: God working for them, no matter what demographic they come from,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 12: no matter what their income level is, that someone is
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 12: standing up and fighting for their God given right and
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 12: that I hope to get an optunit to do that.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: And that is a message that every single Republican running
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: needs to hear. Money Fritz, good to see you, and
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: thank you for bringing your wife along. Such a delight.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 12: She's the best part of me. Can Denise say hello
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 12: to Tennessee?
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, pull up a microphone here and Denise, we're
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: excited to have you in studio.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 9: Thank you so much.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: It's been an absolute pleasure. Have you been so you're
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: you're out on the road, You're not having to clock
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: and all that stuff. You're getting good meals and everything,
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: money taking making making stops on the on the way, and.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 4: Well, no, I'm not cooking.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 9: I'm missing cooking.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 10: And a lot of times we're eating at waffle House
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 10: at ten and eleven o'clock at not that's our only
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 10: meal because we just don't stop.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: Nothing wrong with that. Of course, now you guys have Bucky.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: We have BUCkies here in Tennessee, so I hope that
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: makes the stop. And Dolly Parton's got her own place.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: Now I guess a truck stop.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 12: Yes, so yeah, yeah, we prefer the small places. I
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 12: prefer the mom and pops.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 12: Now, I do like Cracker Barrel, and we do like
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 12: waffle House. But one of the great things about this
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 12: journey has been going to restaurants that are owned by
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 12: a family because there's a real passion I love for
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 12: what they're doing.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: I love that. And I can tell you the other
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: campaigns are listening to everything we're saying, because I've already
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: gotten messages trying to get the other candidates on the show.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: So there you go. Thank you for that. Mmy, No,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. The other thing I really appreciate about
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: what you said, and we're going to leave it here,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: is that you you said nice things about your opponents,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: and I think we need to remember we got good
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: people running on the Republican side of the aisle across America.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 12: So we do. And all of us on all sides
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 12: of the owl are created than the image of God,
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 12: and we should be able to dissent and disagree and
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 12: debate and still love one another.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: It's like here on the Todd Stearns Show. I'm a
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: big Tennessee fan. Parker here is an Auburn guy, and
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: you know, we hate each other and say terrible things
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: about you know, each other's mothers during football season, but
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: you know we get along nice during the rest of
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: the time.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 12: Well, the great thing about being an Auburn fan as
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 12: you can always repent.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: Wow, I love Bonnie Fritz. That's great. All right, Monni Fritz.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: Everybody money, good to see you. I thank you, all right,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: good luck, safe travels, Hang tight. We've got Josh Jones
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: coming up next. All right, Welcome back, everybody. It's the
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: Todd Show. And I you know, I love those kinds
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: of candidates because they're really not poul piticians. They're out
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: there wanting to truly make a difference, and it's it's
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: a fun thing to see. We're going to be getting
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: other candidates on across the nation. We're working on getting
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: Mike Rogers, who's running for the Senate in Michigan, and
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: we hope to have him on next week on the program. Well,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: I want to go right away to the Patriot Mobile
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: news maker line say hello to our good buddy, Josh
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: Jones are chief political strategist, and Josh, I don't know
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: if you heard. We were talking about you in the
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: in the last segment and and about Cracker Barrel and
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: at CEO, and they've decided to give her the heave
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: ho after she nearly destroyed and bankrupted Cracker Barrel.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 21: Yeah, you're not You're not wrong.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 22: I mean, after that awful redesign that they attempted and
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 22: in the public backlash.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 21: I mean, Crackerbrel's at stable institution.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 22: I've been many times, so I'm not super surprised, frankly though,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 22: I mean I can't say I've been following too closely.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: No, I'm just first of all, I knew you to
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: be a cosmopolo and man, even though you grew up
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: on a farm, and so I was sort of I
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: had to imagine that you've at least been one time
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: to the Cracker Barrel.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 22: Oh, for sure, I'm actually a very big Cracker Barrell
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 22: fan because by most of my memories are on cracker
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 22: barrel orrock Whenever you're on those road long road trips
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 22: as a family growing up, Crackerbell is like the go
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 22: to stop. Like we'd go to vacation in Florida Law
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 22: every year, so we just stop a Cracker barrow like
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 22: on the way down that morning.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 21: Because you know, they have breakfast free, they have lunch foots.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 21: Everybody's happy for the family.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean they were basically turning them into
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: dentist office. I mean, it just really had no appeal.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: So I'm glad they brought the clutter back. I'm glad
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: glad they brought back old Uncle Herschel. And let's hope
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: they saw the error of their ways exactly exactly, Josh.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: A lot of political news to get to, and we've
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: been talking a lot about Senator John Thune went on
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: Handity Show last night. I mean there were softball questions,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: a no doubt about it. Thune says there are fifteen
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: senators opposed to nuking the filibuster. And I'm wondering if
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: Fuon is Fuon making his point that he's really not
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: opposed to the President, he just can't get anything done
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: because of the slim majority.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 22: Look, that might be the case, and you might be right.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 22: I mean, if there truly are fifteen senators who are
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 22: against nuking.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 21: The philibus to hear, the reality is we don't have
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 21: the votes to pass the Say of America Act.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 22: As important as it is and as much as we should,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 22: the votes aren't there.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 21: The votes aren't there. I think where the issue lies
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 21: for a lot.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 22: Of voters and a lot of people is that necessarily
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 22: maybe up until this point, maybe they're changing.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 21: Their strategy hasn't.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 22: Been communicated effectively in a sense that get it out
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 22: to people as particularly Republican voters, as to why this
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 22: isn't happening. Because look, I'll be the first to admit
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 22: commerce is a very complicated system in terms of how
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 22: it actually works. And if you're not an effective messenger
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 22: going out there and saying why things are happening a
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 22: certain way, people are going to get angry with you,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 22: and rightfully so. So I think, Look, if Thune's right
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 22: and the votes aren't there and there's fifteen votes who
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 22: aren't going to nuke the filibuster, Look, you just got
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 22: to tell people that, and that's a more motivation to
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 22: elect more Republican senators this November.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: So Senator Roger Marshall, who's out of Kansas, very upset,
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 3: and he said that his elderly parents are angry with
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: him because they're watching Newsmax and Fox News Channel, and
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: he says his own parents are upset with him because
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 3: they're not moving through the president's agenda. I think he's
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: he's mad at the wrong people. He needs to be
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: taking a good long look in the mirror.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 22: What say you, yeah, Look, there's always somewhere in the middle, right, Look,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 22: Congress needs to be doing more. Congress by intention, by design,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 22: by the founders, obviously is meant to be a slow
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 22: moving beast. But at the same time, that doesn't mean
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 22: set on your hands and do nothing. Particularly when you
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 22: have a midterm election coming up. You need to give
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 22: people a reason to come out and vote. So, look,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 22: I think there's a healthy medium here in terms of,
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 22: you know, pushing Congress to take action and do things,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 22: but also are recognizing the fact that the legislative process
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 22: takes time. Now all that to say they need to
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 22: move quicker on the president's agenda. Particular with the midterms
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 22: coming up. You know, we only might have majorities in
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 22: both chambers for a couple more months here, so you
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 22: really have to lock in and get some things across
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 22: the finish line.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: You are representing a lot of candidates across the nation.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 3: How do you've been out last week? You were out
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 3: on the road. How are things going out there? What
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 3: are you guys, What are you guys sensing as we
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: head into November.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 22: Yeah, we're less than one hundred days until the election,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 22: so it's really a crunch time and.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 21: This is really the point, and you are going to
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 21: see it.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 22: I mean, if you look on Twitter, you see people
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 22: answering calls all the time.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 21: Of this thing is getting.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 22: Super busy with the election and people are starting to
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 22: tune in, and that's why you see all these ads
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 22: starting to run. And I think number one issue that
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 22: you're seeing across the board right now is cost of living.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 21: That's what people are caring about, affordability.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 22: And how they're going to put food on the you know,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 22: on their table for their family, how they're going to
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 22: send their kids to a good education. So, look, midterms
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 22: are they're here, people are paying attention. It's going to
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 22: be super competitive heading into November.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: Tell me about this race out of Virginia, Jen Kiggins.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 3: I know she's got a brand new ad out there.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: What are her chances?
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 22: Yeah, so Jim Kiggins down in Virginia's second district, that's
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 22: done on where the Norfolk Base military base is super competitive.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 22: C it's really the bell weather for the rest of
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 22: the country. Frankly, and if you look back historically, that's
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 22: typically been the trend. It's a very high military population district,
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 22: it's very swingy. It goes back and forth between the
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 22: Republicans and Democrats. So yeah, Jen put out her first
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 22: ad highlighting her bio as a there's practitioner, a military
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 22: background mom before and she's done a great job in Congress.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 22: She's been one of the most bipartisan members, are ranked
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 22: one of the most bi partisan members in terms of actually.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 21: Getting things done.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 22: Circling back to people feeling like no Congress is just
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 22: staying on with their hands. Jen at least is one
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 22: of those outliers where she's actually getting some bills across
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 22: the finish line.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 21: So look, Virginia Two's us.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 22: I'm part of one for people people to pay attention
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 22: to or running a great campaign so far and feel confident.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 22: But really, I mean it's one of those races that
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 22: are going to set the tone for the rest of
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 22: the country.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: Joshua Jones joining us on the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: Our chief political strated is just got to follow him
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: on x so he's doing a lot of great work
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: around the country and we always appreciate you taking time
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: to hang out with us. By the way, josh, I
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 3: got a note from one of your family members saying
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: they had already ordered The Golden Age, and I said, well,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: you might want to order too, because you, sir, are
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: featured prominently in the book.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 21: I appreciate that. Yeah. Yeah, my mom told me the
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 21: other day.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 22: I was catching up with her on the phone on
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 22: the way back from Texas and she's saying that how
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 22: she had ordered a book. So look having to contribute
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 22: to another cell, But no, I appreciate it.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 21: I'm looking for to reading it myself.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it's you're gonna love it. It's it's a
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: good read. And we hope to see you down at
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: the big shindig the book launch and dig. If not,
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 3: we'll catch up to you somewhere out there on the
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: campaign trail. I want to give you the last word here.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 3: Early voting underway across many parts of the country. What's
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 3: your message to the voters.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 22: Look, the message at the end of the day is
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 22: you have to take a long, hard look and remember
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 22: what the Democrats did just two years ago. I mean
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 22: Biden in the in office and republic our Democrat majorities
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 22: in Congress. I mean you saw record inflation, record number
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 22: of border crossings, and frankly, life just getting worse across
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 22: the board. You may, you know, feel frustrated that things
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 22: aren't moving quick enough, but at the end of the day,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 22: someone you agree with eighty percent of the time is
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 22: better than someone you agree with five percent at the time,
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 22: which in that case would obviously be the Democrats. So look,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 22: reality is lock in. We are less than one hundred
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 22: days from the election. You know, go vote if you're
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 22: in a state that has early voting, and if not,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 22: be ready on elect to Day, grab some of your
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 22: friends and go up and vote for Republicans. And if
• 1:12:58

  Speaker 3: to be talking to Mary Walter, the mayor of New
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 3: York City, now releasing what many are calling a hit
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: list that includes the names and the addresses of wealthy
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 3: New Yorkers who own more than one home. We're going
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 3: to be talking to Mary Walter about that. Also, a
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: big controversy in Minnesota over transgender dolls for four year olds.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 3: To teach them all about what it means to be
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: transgender with removable body parts. It's basically like a idlo,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: a perverted transgender mister potato head. So we're going to
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 3: be talking to Mary Walter about that in just a
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: little while. Right now, though, a big, big story involving
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 3: the White House releasing a huge report on the wokeness
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 3: that's really infected the Smithsonian Museums in our nation's capital.

  Speaker 3: I want to bring into the conversation a great American

  Speaker 9: Todd, great to be with you, Thanks for inviting me.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 3: Well, there are a lot of shocking components to the
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 3: Smithsonian report. I was still kind of hung up on
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 3: the Mickey mouse as an example of blackface. I'm wondering
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 3: what were some of the most egregious things that set
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 3: you off.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: Well, when you hear once again I've we heard this
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: for politeness is white supremacy, you just wonder what world
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: do these people come from, Because to me, it's really
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: not only an attack on civility, it's an attack on
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: Judeo Christian principles. I mean, do unto others as you
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: would have them do unto you. Being polite is just
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: a way of being manually and decent. But oh no, no,
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: it's white supremacy. So but you know, it's important to
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: people to know this has been going on for a
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: long time because you may recall I organize a protest
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: when they put Margaret Sanger in the Civil Rights Museum
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: of the Portrait Gallery, and they ultimately had to remove her.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 9: So they've been up to the Shenanigans for a while, well, that.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 3: They have, and the wokeness has really it's been infecting
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 3: the museums for a very long time as well. And
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: I'm just wondering, why, what do you think the end
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 3: game here is by turning the Smithsonian museums, especially to
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: ones that focus on American history.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: Woke Todd, It's very clear it's the transformation of our culture.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: In order to transform America, you've got to disconnect us
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: from our true history. You can't talk about the nobility
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: and the virtue of the founding fathers. You can't talk
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: about the beauty of a country that gives more individual liberty,
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: has guaranteed more individual liberty and human dignity than any
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: other nation on Earth. You've got to talk about things
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: that you think will cause people to resent America, be
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: bitter against America, believe that America is essentially so flawed
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: that you've got to have a revolution or fundamental transformation.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 9: I think that's really what the endgame is.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 3: On the Patriot Mobile news maker line, we're honored to
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 3: have Bishop E. W. Jackson, president of Stand by the Way,
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: the website address stand America, do us that stand America
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 3: dot US. I guess the big question, how do we
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 3: fix all of this? Bishop?
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: You know, we've got to go back to the fundamentals.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: I say, you know, America doesn't need fundamental transformation. We
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: need to restore the fundamentals. And I think it's broad
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: and it's hard to because we got to go back
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: to what our schools.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 9: Are teaching kids.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: Because remember these people protesting outside these immigration centers, and
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: these people believing all these weird things. They've been taught
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: this stuff for years. Howard Zinn's People's History of the
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: United States. I'm confident a lot of that stuff comes
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: out of that pernicious book that teaches people to hate America.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 9: So we got to go back to the beginning. But
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 9: we've also got to.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: Reassert the Judaeo Christian cultural foundations of our nation. We're
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: not perfect, I know that, but we've been better than
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: any other nation on Earth. It's not even a close
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: call for again, human flourishing, the standard of living, recognizing
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: people's dignity as human beings.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 9: So I think we've just got to forcefully reassert that.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 9: But we're also going to demand that our institutions reflect
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 9: that as well.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 3: You know, Bishop, I have to imagine that this is
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: part of the of a more nefarious thing where you've
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: got the rise of the democratic socialist many of them
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 3: are winning their primary racist across the nation. These are kids,
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, these are basically young people, either gen zs
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 3: or millennials who've been taught that America is bad, that
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 3: America our way of life has to change. And I'm
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 3: wondering if that's a big part of all of this.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 9: Oh, I think that's essentially what this is.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, And the sad reality is you have to
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: skew history in order to get people to believe that,
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: because if they understood the true nature of Marxism, socialism, communism,
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: that the genocidal nature, the people it's starved, the people
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: it's incarcerated, the people it's tortured. I would think they
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: would say, well, you know, I don't think that's what
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: we want. But instead they're told, well, we're going to
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: do it the right way. We're going to have Marxism, socialism,
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: communism light. It's never worked in human history, and it
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: won't work this time either.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 3: Again, Bishop, I'm so excited about your ministry and the
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 3: organization that you are leading. Tell our listeners what staying
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 3: true to America's national destinies all about what you guys are.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 9: Up to, Todd.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: Our mission is to bring Americans together across racial and
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: cultural lines, to uphold judge your Daoe Christian heritage and
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: values as one nation under God.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 9: I mean, that's it, in a nutshell.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: While others are trying to rip us apart, we are
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: saying we got to come together around a set of
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: shared values that I believe this country was founded on,
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: and we are going all across the country. I've got
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: something now called the Truth Tour. Facts about American history
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: you were never taught, and I basically try to reteach
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: people the true version of American history not the Howard
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: Zinn version.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 9: I'm amazed.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: I go place, I ask how many of you've heard
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: of Howard Zen's book, The People's History of the United States.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: I get very few hands go up, I said, and
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 2: yet this book has perhaps had more influence on American
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: history than any other ever written. So that's just one
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: of the projects we're working on. They can go to
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: our webs I can find out about more.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm so glad that you're speaking truth to the culture.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 12: We need that, you know.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 3: We broadcast our show from Memphis, Tennessee, and Bishop, I
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 3: will tell you, every black mega church in this city
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 3: is mobilized and they are campaigning in the sanctuaries, in
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 3: some cases for Democrat candidates. One of them is, in fact,
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 3: one of these Democratic socialists. Meanwhile, predominantly white evangelical churches,
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 3: they're sitting on their hands in their pews, not engaging
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 3: the culture. And that concerns me, Bishop, because when you
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 3: don't have churches engaged in the culture. And again, we're
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 3: not telling you who to vote for, we're just telling
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 3: you to vote your values. But when you've got a
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 3: large swath of the Christian population and they're sitting this
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 3: stuff out. I just think that that spells bad news
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 3: for the country.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, it spells the doom of the country if we
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: don't stop that. Christians have got to get fully engaged
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: and involved. We've got to bring our values into the
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: public square. And those sadly, those black churches that are
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: caught up in supporting stuff that is contrary to all
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: the values that they say that they believe in. I
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: say they're teaching their people to be racial beings, not
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: human beings. If you're a racial being, races, all that matters.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: But if you're a human being, you relate to people
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: on the basis of their shared humanity. And we've got
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: to get back to that. Instead of repeating the folly
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: of the Antebellum South, where many slave masters were teaching
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: people that to be white was to be Christian, or
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: to be Christian was to be white. We've got to
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: get back to teaching the Judeo Christian values and the
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: humanity that God loves all of us as human beings,
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: rather than he separates us based upon the color of
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: our skin.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 3: And Bishops, since I've got you on the phone here,
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 3: one of these pastors actually said to the congregation that
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 3: Jesus was a socialist and that Christians should be socialist.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 3: How do you respond to that?
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: I said, well, then you must be getting ready to
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: go to a socialist hell, because that's certainly not going
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: to be what heaven is all about.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 9: Look, this is a lie.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: It is the idea of promoting an ideology from a
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: man Karl Marx, who hated God, hated Christianity, hated everything
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: about the Bible, and you're promoting that as some kind
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: of revelation for the truth. Just to me shows either
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: that you're not a Christian or somewhere along the way
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: you completely lost your way and fell into heresy. We've
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: got to get back to preaching what the word of
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: God says, not my opinion, not yours, not the Republicans
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: or the Democrat's opinion, but what the word of God
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: actually says.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 9: And Jesus said he wanted us.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: To be one, but one around what one around our
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: understanding of the truth that he gave us.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 3: Bishop E. W. Jackson, President of stand Staying true to
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 3: America's national destiny. Bishop, always good to hear from you,
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 3: and we'll get you back on the show very very soon.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 3: Thank you again.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 9: Thank you Todd God bless you.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 3: All Right, there you go, good man. The bishop, he
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 3: just tells it like it is, and I appreciate that.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 3: But again, when you look at what's happening with the
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 3: Smithsonian and these museums, this is a direct result of
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 3: what they're teaching our kids in these taxpayer funded schools.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 3: All Right, we've got to take a break here, ladies
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 3: and gentlemen. Nine oh one two six zero five, nine
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 3: two six. Our telephone number. This is the Todd Stern Show.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome back, This is the Tod Sterns Radio Show.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 3: Good to have you with us. Our telephone number. Nine
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six. That's
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 3: Interesting story here, and I'm trying to figure and if
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 3: this is actual justification for office wardrobe. The headline of
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 3: the story from the New York Post THI this is terrible.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 3: THI will be done. White collar men wearing shorts to
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 3: work sparks global outrage. According to the New York Post,
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 3: men are getting a leg up on their job. Businessmen,
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 3: executive and executives, and finance bros. Are spicing up their
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 3: clothes this summer, ditching stuffy slacks in the workplace for breezy,
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 3: leisurely shorts to beat the heat. Unfortunately, while guys on
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 3: the grind are enjoying the airy wardrobe swap, gals grossed
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 3: out by their body hair desperately want the fashion fad
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 3: to come to a full stop. They say it is
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 3: the hottest controversy of the fashion season. This is fascinating.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 3: According to The New York Post, what one office worker says,
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 3: headed to the office and shorts. I never gave a oh,
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 3: you can't say that word anyway. He paired his shorts
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 3: with a with knee length black bottoms with an open
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 3: short sleeve pen strike. Helen has stormed into the studio. Uh,
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 3: and we have Ian And so, first of all, Parker,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 3: you're you're one of these guys.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 9: I guess I am.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 3: You're wearing the shorts, Helen, Helen, I have to ask
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 3: you to to Parker's hairy legs really like gross you out.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 19: I'm super disturbed. And in both techies today, Ian intern
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 19: is also wearing shorts.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 3: Is this true?
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 9: It's true?
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 3: In stand up I'm just well, no, don't stand up DA.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 9: Nobody wants to see that.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 23: In my defense, it is ninety six degrees outside right now.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 23: I usually wear either like normal church pants or jean.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 23: But this is the one exception I'll make is wearing
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 23: the shorts in the summertime. All right, Helen, what say you?
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 19: I have to be subjected to seeing these pasty legs
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 19: around the office now all.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 3: The time, hasty legs.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 15: I don't know if Ian has ever seen the sun.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 12: You know, you might be right about that.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 13: I will say, I'm going to defend in I support
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 13: this point. In the summer, I think it's completely fine.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 12: Thank you.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 3: In the fall winter pants, oh well, you got to
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 3: in the winter, and that's cold. But we normally keep
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 3: it pretty cold in here in the studios anyway, you know,
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 3: and when you walk into the building it's you know,
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 3: sixty eight sixty nine degrees only because we have a
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 3: lot of equipment. So that's true, all right, Todd.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 19: I would never probably see you wear shorts.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 3: No, no, you would not, exactly.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 7: No.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 3: I normally wear a tie on the beach, you know,
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 3: by loosen it from the collar, just you know, to
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 3: be casual, undo the top button.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 9: Maybe.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 3: According to the New York Post, from the Big Apple
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 3: to Britain, men on the clock are dressing down, sidestepping
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 3: the white collar uniform as temperature surge to sweltering highs.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 3: I'm wondering, ladies and gentlemen, have you noticed this trend?
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 3: Are guys showing up to the office wearing shorts?
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 9: You know?
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 3: Here's the problem. It's you know, it's the kind of
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 3: a short you know that you're wearing. Yeah, I mean
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 3: you don't want the short shorts from like the nineteen seventies.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 3: You don't want to see somebody's pasty thigh. That's true, right,
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 3: I agree with that. I've seen a lot more guys
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 3: wearing the short shorts now. Quite frankly, I'm not a
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 3: big fan. And to a certain level, if you're at
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 3: a certain business or in a specific field, you are
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 3: expected to dressed the part.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 13: Now, I remember going to Briar Crest. We would wear
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 13: kaki shorts to school every single day, and I had
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 13: a few classmates too wan to wear like those thigh
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 13: level short shorts and it was a weird look. Now,
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 13: they could probably pull off a little bit better than
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 13: some others because they're like football player, but.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 12: Still was not the best look.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 3: Oh Jesus loose. So there's new. There's a new study,
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 3: sixty eight percent of staffers say it's acceptable for men
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 3: to wear shorts in the office. That's nearly double the
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 3: amount of people who are amenable to the unconventional garb
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 3: in twenty sixteen. So people, I guess are loosening up
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 3: their you know, their wardrobe. But here's one guy. They
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 3: got a photograph of a guy and it looks like
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 3: he's wearing like a dress shirt, a tie, a suit coat.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 3: I guess these are It's not pink, is it salmon?
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 12: Is that the color?
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 3: Salmon shorts and black knee high socks.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 23: I'm offended at that. I take personal offense. You gotta
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 23: finish off the look. You can't be completely formal on
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 23: top and then just give up halfway and finish it
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 23: off with salmon shorts while you're wearing a suit jacket,
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 23: a tie.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 3: Just he's wearing a blue blazer. It's crazy, Helen. I mean,
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 3: you're getting ready for the wedding. I mean, would you
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 3: allow the wedding party to come down wearing that kind
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 3: of stuff?
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 19: No, And I would give military orders to all the
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 19: groomsmen and the groom of if you do this wrong.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 19: You're running a lap.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 9: You're doing push ups.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, you gotta do the push ups?
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 9: What was it?
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 3: Money Fritz was talking about doing push ups. Somebody was
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 3: talking about doing push ups earlier in the show.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 12: Who's talking like before a youth group or a Bible study?
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not doing it.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 12: It's hard enough.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 3: I'm still trying to understand. Why is it that men
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 3: have to have their Bible study in the morning at
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 3: six am? Why can't we do a men's instead of
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 3: a men's prayer breakfast? How about a brunch?
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 13: You can still do the morning, but six AM's a
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 13: little too early for me.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 3: It is, right. Or lunch? How about a lunch, a
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 3: prayer lunch.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 9: I like that.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 3: We can go with that anyway, Ladies and gentlemen, curious
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 3: to hear your thoughts here. Women at work in Tokyo
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 3: have accused their male colleagues of leg hair harassment. This
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 3: is an actual thing. Leg hair harasses, blasting the shorts
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 3: on shift, craze and repulsion because of fuzzy shins, calves
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 3: and thighs.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 19: I'm going to hr right now.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 3: It's disgusting. Oh my word. So anyway, yeah, so that's
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 3: a big problem over in Tokyo, right now something called
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 3: leg hair harassment. I mean, I guess if your leg
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 3: hair is so long you could like braid it. I
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 3: guess that would be problematic.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 23: But I don't have very strict like cultural rules over there,
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 23: not exactly like stated, but just stuff that's known.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 3: It's a it's a fair point. They seem to be more,
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 3: you know, more structured in their culture. But here in America. Look,
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 3: I guess if it's one hundred and thirteen degree heat index,
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 3: you can pretty much, you know, wear as little clothing
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 3: as you wish. I would say. So anyway, I got
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 3: to take a break here. So that's the big latest
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 3: culture story. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 3: two six is this, And Mani Fritz gave the whole
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 3: staff but a nice ball cap, so well done. Thank

  Speaker 15: Well, you know, first of all, Helen, you're dead to
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 15: me now. She told she told our secret. No, yeah,
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 15: you let him take vacation. Shouldn't they have to earn it?
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 15: You just like let them willy nilly take vacation, whether
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 15: they deserve it or not.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 9: What can I say?
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm a lovable curmudgeon.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 12: I mean, it is, it is what it is.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 3: By the way, did Helen tell you her news?
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 6: No?
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 11: Nice?
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 15: Obviously she can't keep a secret.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 3: What well, clearly, Helen, all right, Helen, you are on
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 3: the air with Mary. You got to tell Mary the
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 3: big news.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 19: I think my secret is I was on vacation before Dylan.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 19: But I got engaged while I was on vacation.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 15: Oh congratulations, Oh my gosh, that's amazing. Where were you.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 19: We were in massive two sits. We're by the beach.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 15: It was it was perfect, okay, it was it the
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 15: whole production where your family had to come out and
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 15: surprise you. Who we're here too, and you have the
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 15: big party afterwards. Like it was the production or was
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 15: it like normal?
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 21: It was very It was.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 19: It was kind of like a production. My parents did
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 19: show up and he hired a photographer to get the
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 19: whole thing.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 11: Of course.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, yeah, everything's a production now, I got it.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 15: So well, did he ask your father's permission?
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 5: First?
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 9: He did.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 19: I told him he had to do that, and he
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 19: got on a knee.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 15: He did, he did, and you ought to, he points
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 15: out for the production part of it. Not everything in
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 15: life is a production.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 9: But go ahead. It's true. It's true.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 3: Well, I would say the size of the rock on
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 3: her finger, that thing is a huge, huge ring.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 15: Oh so she's marrying, Well, so she's not gonna have
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 15: to work on radio the rest of her life. You're
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 15: obviously not marrying someone who works in radio.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's true.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 15: Am I wrong?
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 19: No comment kidding.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. Well anyway, Helen, we're excited for you
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 3: and congratulations all right, Mary, before we jump into what's
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 3: happening in Minnesota, we in the last last segment we
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 3: noticed that the guys are showing up to work in shorts,
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 3: which pointed at which led to a New York Post
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 3: story about how most men are now wearing shorts to
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 3: the office, leading to some women accusing the men of
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 3: what they're calling leg hair harassment. Got any opinion on
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 3: men with harry legs wearing shorts in the office?
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 15: How much time do we have? Listen? I don't care.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 15: It depends on your office culture. But clothing for men
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 15: just keeps getting more and more comfortable. And in all
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 15: of humanity, no one has developed a comfortable pair of
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 15: heels for women.
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 9: So there's that.
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 15: And I also noticed that in general, men tend to
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 15: dress down. Right, you know, what is everybody wearing nowt
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 15: what do men wear with suits? Those comfortable shoes with
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 15: the white souls that are super cushy and you could
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 15: like run a marathon in them, while the women standing
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 15: next to hims in three inch heels murdering her feet.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 15: And you know, it's usually a little bit more dressed
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 15: up than the guys. If you go, like go down,
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 15: go toother shore, you go to the boardwalk, you'll see
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 15: the girls will have on like a dress or they're
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 15: a little bit nicer, and his pants are falling down.
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 15: They just don't dress as nicely. And I don't understand
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 15: why these young ladies put up with this. But as
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 15: far as work culture goes, it depends on your job.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 15: If your job's okay with it, then fine. But I
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 15: have seen ads for men going, oh, my shorts. I
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 15: was wearing old man shorts and then he goes, now,
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 15: I can't wear my swim trunks aren't nice enough to
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 15: wear in public. So now they have shorts that men
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 15: can wear that look kind of dressy that they can
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 15: also wear, like in the pool to go swimming in.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 15: And then they drive real quick and you can wear
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 15: back to the office. I'm like, are you kidding me?
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 15: Are you kidding me? We can sometimes take it a
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 15: little too far, but I sound old.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 3: Mary Walter joining us on the Patriot Mobile news maker line.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 3: Mary big story over at Todd Sterns dot com about
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 3: this University of Minnesota educational doll it's being It was
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 3: designed for children ages four to ten and features. It's
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 3: a transgender doll, so you it's an interchangeable hairstyles, clothing,
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 3: and removable genitalia. It's basically a perverted transgender mister potato
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 3: Head for the children. What what say you here? This
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 3: is crazy. We got the we had the pictures at
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 3: but it's.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 15: Too controversial to have mister potato Head smoking his pipe anymore.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 15: We had to get rid of that, right, that's where
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 15: we draw the line.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 3: And now they gave poor mister potato had a we WI.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 3: I mean it's crazy.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 15: Well he should have one, missus potato Head should not.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 7: No.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 15: Theoretically, this reminds me of the old color forms. Remember
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 15: color forms we were kids.
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, that's going back, right.
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 15: How is this any different than color forms? Except it
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 15: doesn't have interchangeable parts that no one should, even at
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 15: four years old, be worried about. But so they say
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 15: that this is not going to be in schools.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 2: This is going to.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 15: Therapists, guidance counselors, that kind of thing in schools and
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 15: also privately. This is this is who's getting this stuff.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 15: I don't think that this is a discussion you have
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 15: with a four year old. I'm not a psychiatrist. I
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 15: still don't think it's a discussion you have with a
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 15: four year old. Four year old kids are very curious, obviously,
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 15: especially if they have a younger or older sibling, and
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 15: they see there may be different parts, and you just
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 15: explain it as a parent, well he's a boy and
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 15: you're a girl, or vice versa, and that's that, and
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 15: they have different parts, and little kids just accept that explanation, okay,
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 15: and that's that. But they say, well, this will allow
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 15: children to explore all of the gender possibilities there are
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 15: in all the things they can be. And I'm like,
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 15: how many parts does this then come with?
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 3: We have a photo. We have a photo of it
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 3: over at Todd Stearns dot com and folks, I encourage
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 3: you to go and check it out. And we also
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 3: have video of this crazy situation at a farmer's market
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 3: in Washington State where a lesbian school nurse berated these
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 3: two people they were just wearing a T shirts that
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 3: it's something about Charlie Kirk on them, and the woman
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 3: just went unhinged and called the maggots and did all
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 3: sorts of terrible things. Mary, what is going on with
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 3: the culture here. This is very disturbing.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 15: I start to say this more and more, and I
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 15: don't say it lately, and I don't say it to
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 15: be mean or mocking, but I do think we have
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 15: an out of control mental health problem in this country.
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 9: I really do.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 15: I think there are a lot of people who are
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 15: very susceptible to suggestions and to prioritizing their feelings over facts,
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 15: and there's we denied still a culture of inquiry and
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 15: curiousness in our children, especially the up to twenty nine cohort.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 15: I just told them, your feelings are facts, and it
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 15: only matters about how you feel, So they don't bother
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 15: doing their research or anything in those long along those lines.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 15: So they they just are very gulfible, and because they're
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 15: very emotion driven, they just lash out because they don't
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 15: know how to process it any other way. They've never
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 15: been taught how to process any kind of obstacle in
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 15: their path, right. They had parents who helicopter parrot in them,
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 15: who did it all for them, and so they don't
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 15: know how to handle it. And I think that that
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 15: has morphed into the Left has taken advantage of this
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 15: and has really brainwashed these people into just sounding crazy
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 15: all the time. They just really do. I think there's
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 15: a problem. And if she's in school, she needs counseling.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 15: She's teaching our kids.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, big time. And look here's the deal. You know
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 3: people are going to say, Okay, well this person has
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 3: to be fired. The school district said, hey, look we're investigating.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 3: But everybody's got you know, free speech on their own time.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 3: A lot of teachers who got fired for posting some
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 3: of the most heinous, monstrous stuff on social media about
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk, they did get fired. They sued, and I
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 3: know that in many cases they won millions and millions
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 3: of dollars. So yeah, at the same time, I do
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 3: think parents need to know if their kid is being
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 3: taught by a monster, and they need to be given
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 3: that option of, you know, pulling their kid out of
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 3: that class or doing something. But I'm not sure you
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 3: can fire these people.
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 15: But see, excuse me. I'm okay with people being allowed
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 15: to have a private life. I'm okay with you saying
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 15: things as a private person as opposed to public And
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 15: I think maybe you need to divide those two things,
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 15: and maybe you open up an anonymous account or account
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 15: that doesn't have your picture on it, that type of thing,
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 15: so people don't know who you are, but you do
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 15: have that right. So I agree with that. If you
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 15: want to act a full in public, you knock yourself out, sweetheart,
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 15: go for it, because at least to your point, I
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 15: now know that you're nuts, and I don't want someone
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 15: who is mentally unstable teaching my child. But I'm going
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 15: to say this again, pull your kid out of private school.
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 15: How much does it take for you to pull excuse
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 15: me out of public school? How much does it take
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 15: for you to keep your kids in public school. It's difficult.
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 15: It's hard for a lot of people. I understand that,
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 15: but your child's education and mental welfare is well worth it.
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 3: By the way, I like that idea of having like
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 3: a secret you know, like social media account that I
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 3: remember Mitt Romney used to he was Pierre Delecto. Do
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 3: you remember that his Twitter account Pierre Delecto. Yeah, and
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 3: you think I don't, Oh well, I never really thought
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 3: of it like that, Mary Walter. So that's interesting, all right?
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 12: All right?
• 1:43:40

• 1:45:16
  Speaker 3: All right, let's go to the phones here Pastor Bob
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 3: in North Carolinas to weigh in on casual dress. Hi,
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 3: Pastor Bob, what's going on?
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 18: Well, I got two things I'd like to bring up.
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 18: One I did my office. We were a construction company
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 18: and we were a coat and tie company. I gave
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 18: all my office employs the day a day off with
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 18: pay for the birthday. Best thing I ever did. Worst
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 18: thing I ever did. From Memorial Day to Labor Day.
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 18: Monday through Thursday, we worked an extra hour and came
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 18: in casual dress on Friday and only had to work
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 18: until noon. Now, we were a coat and tie company,
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 18: and when I had them there until noon, it was
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 18: a waste of time. They came in casual, casual dress,
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 18: casual attitude, and casual work ethics.
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 3: And I've noticed that here wet the leisure.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 18: Suit came out. One of the guys said, you will
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 18: not wear a leisure suit to work in my office. Really,
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 18: the first name leisure.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 3: Wow, So I remember, so I was.
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 12: I was not of that.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 3: I was a kid when the leisure suits were kind
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 3: of like in style and man, those things came in
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 3: all sorts of wild colors.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 18: Yes, and when they took the dress code out of school,
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 18: I think that's that changed everything.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 3: You know there, that's an interesting concept. So if people
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 3: dressed down or they dressed casually, it reflected in their
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 3: in their work, is what you're saying.
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 18: Yes, I couldn't. I couldn't wait until till Labor Day
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 18: so that that was over with.
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 5: It was.
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 18: It was the worst thing I ever did. The boys
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 18: loved it, but it was like they weren't in there.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's interesting, Pastor Bob. Well, look, I appreciate I
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 3: appreciate that observation.
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 18: Well, and I appreciate you having this opportunity for people
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 18: to call in.
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 3: All right, all right, Pastor Bob. There in Beaufort, North Carolina.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 3: I always get those two mixed up. You got North Carolina,
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 3: it's Beaufort, but then there's a Bufort in South Carolina.
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 3: So do not mix those two up or you'll hear
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 3: from every single citizen. So we have a big audience
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 3: in both of those communities. Nine oh one two six
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 3: zero five nine two six hour telephone number. That's nine
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six. I
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 3: want to play some audio here. This is Zooron Mamdami
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 3: and they have officially announced that they're going to be
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 3: opening up these city run grocery stores cut number twelve.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 9: Please.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 24: We know that for many New Yorkers, thirty percent at
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 24: the grocery store means something very different. Since twenty nineteen,
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 24: food prices have soared at grocery stores around the country
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 24: by roughly thirty percent. In fact, talk to shoppers around
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 24: the city and you'll often hear the same frustration. Wages
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 24: have not kept up, Making matters even worse, some corporations
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 24: have built out technology that allows for something called surveillance pricing,
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 24: collecting personal data to charge some people more than others
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 24: for the same carton eves for the same gallon of milk.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 24: All of this leaves too many New Yorkers feeling like
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 24: groceries are out of reach, and that is frankly unacceptable,
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 24: which is why city government is stepping in to make
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 24: people's lives more affordable. Today, I am proud to announce
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 24: a collect action of essential staples that will be predictably
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 24: thirty percent cheaper at all five of our city run
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 24: grocery stores.
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 9: This core set of goods.
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 24: Will include all fresh produce, meat, and seafood, along with
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 24: twenty other essential items like cheese, milk, and bread.
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 9: Here's how it will work.
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 24: Once a month, our five city run grocery stores will
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 24: set prices for this core set of goods at thirty
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 24: percent below typical retail prices, no exceptions, no gimmicks. The
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 24: savings will last for the entire month. That means no
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 24: weekly fluctuations nor sticker shock at the checkout line, not
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 24: for our seniors living on fixed incomes, nor for the
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 24: parents who rely on a regular supply of apple slices
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 24: to keep toddler tantrums at bay. Now can we all
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 24: see this incredible example of produce in my hand. Now
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 24: you will see these plantains here. So for anyone wondering
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 24: how much these beautiful plantains might cost, you can use
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 24: this QR code or head to Grocery dot NYC to
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 24: access our policy report. I'm going to demonstrate exactly what
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 24: that means. Ladies and gentlemen, The QR code does work.
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 3: Okay, enough of that So look, here's the deal. This
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 3: this guy is insane. Here's what's going to happen. So
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 3: you're gonna have these what five, six, seven city run
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 3: grocery stores. They're charging thirty percent less than all of
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 3: the other supermarkets that are privately owned. So let me
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 3: just throw this out there for you folks. You are
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 3: going to be shopping on a budget. You're going to
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 3: Kroger where everything is now thirty percent higher, or you're
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 3: going to go to the city owned grocery store where
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 3: everything is thirty percent lower. What do you think is
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 3: going to happen. I'm gonna tell you what's going to happen.
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 3: Every single Kroger in New York City of they had
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 3: a Kroger there, but they do have privately owned grocery stores.
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 3: They're all going to go out of business. They're going
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 3: to go out of business. Let's just say, for example,
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 3: and by the way, you let's just say the city decides,
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 3: you know what, we're going to go into the pharmacy
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 3: business and we're gonna charge thirty percent less, and all
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 3: that money is going to be made up by the taxpayers,
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 3: by the way, so you're all still paying for all
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 3: of this every single pharmacy that's privately owned is going
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 3: out of business. They will stop doing business in New
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 3: York City. Do you see how this plays out? What
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 3: about an automobile dealership. You know, you want to get
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 3: a brand new car, and you go down to the
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 3: dealership and they're gonna give you a price, and then
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 3: the city owned the automobile dealership is you know, hey,
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 3: we can beat that. We'll give you thirty percent off.
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 3: You're buying your car from city hall. That's what you're
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 3: gonna be doing. And guess what those car dealerships going
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 3: out of business. What a mess, What a mess in
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 3: New York City, ladies and gentlemen. And it's going to
• 1:51:48
