  Speaker 2: Boris Johnson, Ben Shapiro among the speakers that's hosted by
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the Young America's Foundation. That's going to be a great conversation.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Got a lawsuit against Southwest Airlines. The turns out they're
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: accused of religious discrimination. Of all places they were trying
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: to they were trying to force people to take gay
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: pride boarding passes at John Wayne Airport. Now my question
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: is an airline pastor what exactly was I going to
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: be boarding or somebody going to be boarding me. We're
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: going to get in too that with Brad Dakas over
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: at Pacific Justice Institute. My apologies for that visual and
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Senator Marshall Blackburn's going to be here in just a
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: little while. Man, there is an ugly and I do
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: mean ugly gubernatorial debate, gubernatorial race underway, big primary in
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: the state of Tennessee, and we'll get her to weigh
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: in on that. But most importantly, ladies and gentlemen, guess
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: what today, Parker, Guess what today is?
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: What is today?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Tell today is Friday? Today is Friday. Today is open
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: line Friday. So folks, you get to call in and
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: most importantly, we want to hear from you today, and
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: we haven't heard from a lot of you guys. I
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: think it's been summertime. People taking the vacations, and you
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: know that's acceptable. Our telephone number nine oh one two
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. Again that number nine
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six will
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: be taking your calls, sprinkling them in throughout the program today.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: All Right, we've got to start with James tall Rico.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: This is crazy. This guy's a certifiable nutshob. So here's
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: the deal. Taller Rico running for the US Senate. He's
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: got the Democrat nomination. He's running against Ken Paxton, the
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Republican John Cornyn got whacked in the GOP primary, and
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: John Corny's taking out all of his frustrations, by the way,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: on Donald J. Trump, who, by the way, I almost
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: forgot about this. For the first time in American history,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: President Trump has convened a cabinet meeting at Camp David
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: and that's a big deal. So we're going to be
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: pulling some audio from that throughout the program. That gathering
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: just started a little while ago, so we'll get to
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: that as well. But anyway, tall Rico has been really
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: spewing a lot of far left nonsense. He's got a
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: big problem with black voters there. The people are really
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: frustrated with him. The Blacks are not connecting with his
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: far left ideology. This guy believes that God is non binary,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: he believes that Jesus is pro abortion, and he also
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: ran a meatless campaign which went over so poorly. I
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: think more people were upset over that than they were
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the comments about God being non binary. They were so
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: upset they had to like film this guy eating brisket
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: for like, I don't know, two weeks in a row.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I think the guy got gout. I mean, that's how
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: much meat, red meat he was eating. And then to
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: bolster his bona fides, Tall Rico. I don't know if
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: he was driving. Did he drive a Prius, We don't know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: a Teslap. You know, he had one of those Coexist
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: bumper stickers on the back. But anyway, he decided to
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: rent a pickup truck. And so now he's he's really trying,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: he's really trying to, you know, trying to connect with
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: the average Texan man and to prove that, you know
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: that he too is a Texas man. Well, someone needs
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: to alert mister tall Rico that you need a cert
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: and set of body parts to be a Texas man.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: So anyway, now he's back in the news again. This guy,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: he just he can't help himself tell Rico sitting down
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: for an interview on a podcast, and he's really upset.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: You know, a couple of weeks ago we were telling
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: you about the effort and we were a part of
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: that effort to infuse the Bible into Schruel curriculum. They're
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: in the great state of Texas and that now boys
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: and girls from K through twelve are going to be
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: learning various portions of the Bible, Bible, traditional Bible stories,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: and things of that nature. James tall Rico is enraged
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: over this, and I want you to hear what he
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: had to say. Cut thirty one.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: And then the last one is maybe the most insidious.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: It was a new state curriculum that would teach Christian
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Bible stories as historical fact, as the only truth to
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: our youngest students, and I mean kindergarten first graders, kids
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: who aren't able to think for themselves yet, they haven't
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: formed their own worlds, and pushed propaganda to push in
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: doctrination on those youngest students is deeply in the row.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: All right. So there you have it, James tall Rico
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: on the record calling the Bible God's word nothing more
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: than propaganda that they are forcing on the children of Texas.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is who this guy is. What's even
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: more disturbing, ladies and gentlemen, we can now tell you
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: that there is new polling data that has tall Rico
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: in one of these polls up by three points over
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Ken Pankston fifty forty eight percent. More voters are, according
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: to the polling data, more voters are concerned that Ken
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Pakston lacks the character to serve than worry about whether
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: or not tallar Rico is too extreme. More Democrats and
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Republicans are extremely motivated to vote and extremely interested in
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: the midterms by seven points and six points, which is
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: why those dynamics are apparently giving tall Rico uh the
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: edge here by three points, tall Rico's advantage grows to
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: six points among both extremely motivated and extremely interested voters.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: And this is all coming out of Fox News. Most
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Independents and virtually all Democrats are supporting tall Rico ninety
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: eight percent. Here's what's interesting. Fewer Republicans are unified behind
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Paxton at eighty nine percent. There's another report out there,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: by the way, that Paxton is losing some Republican support
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: to tall Rico. Well, that's the John Cornyn effect. Ladies
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen, nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: two six hour telephone number. That's nine oh one two
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. A lot of cam
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: pa ads dropping. We're going to get to Georgia in
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: just a little while. I want to turn our attention
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: right away to the state of Tennessee, my home state,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and I want you to listen to this brand new
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: ad that came out from Marcia Blackburn's campaign. Take a
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: listen to Cup thirty two.
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: Memphis was the most dangerous city in America until Marshall
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: Blackburn worked with President Trump to clean it up. Blackburn
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: stood with police, fought for the support they needed, and
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: the Memphis Safe Task Force hit the streets. One thousand
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: gang members locked up, over one hundred missing children rescued,
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: and violent crime plummeted. Marcia Blackburn fought for Memphis as governor.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: She'll never stop fighting to keep Tennessee safe. Marsha Blackburn
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: for governor.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: All right, for the record, and I mentioned this anytime
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: we have the Senator on. I early on in the
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: process endorsed Marshall Blackburn, and I'm very proud of my endorsement.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I think she is going to make a great governor,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: and she joins us right now on the Patriot Mobile
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: newsmaker line. Senator, I hope you're doing well, and I
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: hope you're working in a nap or two. You guys
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: are running all over the place.
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: These days, so we are, indeed, and it is a
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: busy time right now. And the early vote ends tomorrow,
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: so we are getting every vote possible to the polls
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: so we can get those ballots in the ballot box.
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: And it is just awesome. People from one corner of
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: the state to another have been joining us as volunteers
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: and prayer warriors and door knockers and phone callers and
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: working poles and helping us with this what I think
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: is one of the best ever grassroots campaigns.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: It is. It's pretty ferocious campaign too, and there's been
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: a lot of ugly ads, many of them directed at you,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: making some of in some cases flat out you know,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: false accusations, one calling you the queen Pharma Mama. Where
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: is all of this stuff coming from?
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: It is when people know that they're losing and then
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: they start coming up with these ads that are just
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: as you said, they're falsehoods. And people know that and
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: when you've got someone who is running a campaign and
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: they don't have anything positive to talk about, they talk
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: about the other people. But Todd, we are talking about
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: the people of Tennessee and have been talking with them
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: for a year or more specific to the campaign, and
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: what their hopes and dreams are for Tennessee, and they
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: what they want Tennessee to look like in the future.
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: And the importance of public safeties, which is the ad
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: we've a guy there in Memphis that we have, about
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: the importance of education for our children, of having jobs
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: not only for today and tomorrow, but the future for
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: our children and our grandchildren, about the importance of having
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: a responsible, right sized government. And I've said we will
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: do a Tennessee style doge and make certain that we
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: are going to not waste a single penny of tax
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: payer dollars. And that's what Tennesseeans have been telling us
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: that they want to see. That's what we are focused on,
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: as we have let them know they have been heard
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: and we're going to talk about them and not about
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: other candidates.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Senator, I support you, you have my full support. One
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: of the things that I am disappointed in is that
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: there were no actual debates, all three of the candidates
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: on stage at the same time, being asked the questions,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: you know, the back and the forth. I just think
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: that makes for a healthy political process. Why did you
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: make the decision not to do the traditional form of
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: debate with your opponents?
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know, and by the way, thank you
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: for your vote and the video. I really appreciate that.
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: And we felt like it's an issue of how you
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: spend your time, and our time was best spent listening
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: to people and letting them talk about what they want
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: to see our state become.
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: And I.
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: Love hearing those thoughts, and people knew i'd let that fight.
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: Defeated the state income tax, and Tennessee has been state
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: income tax free and always will be. And we're also
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: going to foreclose the idea of ever having a state
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: property tax. In November. That's going to be on the ballot.
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: But when you're looking at how you use your time,
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: it was more important to me to let people talk
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: than it was for me to be talking at them.
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: I wanted them to be talking with me and defining
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: their hopes and dreams.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Senator Marshall Blackburn joining us on our Patriot Mobile. Newsmaker line,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: and we don't have a lot of time before we
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: go to break. Senator, I want to ask you real
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: quickly about the Save America Act. I know that Senator
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Haggerty said, you know what, let's stay here, let's get
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: this done. Where do you stand on that and what
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: are the chances this gets across the finish line?
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: Now, I am one of those that has said let's
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: stay and let's get this done. And as our conservatives
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: in the Senate, and I'm on that Executive committee, as
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: we have worked on this now for three years, believe
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: it or not, and the last couple of months, I said,
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: why don't we start to break it apart past one
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: piece at a time.
• 13:57
  Speaker 9: And we have tried that.
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: You've taken a couple of swipes at it. We're going
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: to do it again this next week and see if
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: we can get Just show an ID when you go
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: to the polls and got that provision in there, and
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: people that say, oh, having the people that are non
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: citizens voting is no problem, I would direct them to
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: look at what New Jersey has found in the last
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: couple of weeks. I would direct them to look at
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: what has happened. We've got twenty four states that refuse
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: to check their voter role against the DHS Safe system,
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: which is the listing of non citizens in the country
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: and update those roles remove those individuals. New Jersey had
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: sixty six hundred that they say they had found. They
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: knew four hundred of those had voted in the last election. Todd,
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: this is what you call voter fraud. So showing an ID,
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: being sure you're a citizen, those are things we want
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: to get passed, and we I think it's important for.
• 15:02
  Speaker 10: Us to stay.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: And then the House needs to come back and they
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: need to pass what we are able to get passed
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: and get it to the president's disk so he can
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: immediately sign it and it will become laws.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Fair enough, and we're up against the computer, but I
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: can get a couple of more quick questions. In back
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: to the gubernatorial race, State Senator Money Fritz, one of
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: the one of your opponents in the primary, making a
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: lot of headlines over the past forty eight hours saying
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: that he wanted to work to pan mosques, very concerned
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: that taxpayer dollars in the form of vouchers we're going
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: to fund Muslim schools. Where do you stand on what
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: the State Senator is.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: Saying there, and what we know is that religious freedom
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: is important to our nation and it is one of
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: our founding principles. We also know in Tennessee that you
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: cannot implement Sharia law. We are a Christian state, and indeed,
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: I think that we should be known as America's conservative
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: leader because of the Christian principles and values.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: That we hold, or rather us Senator Marshall Blackburn, the
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: next governor of the State of Tennessee. Finally, can we
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: talk about nuclear waste? I didn't know that was going
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: to become a big issue, but it has in the
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: past twenty four hours conversations that Tennessee might be one
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: of the states housing this nuclear waste. Do we really
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: want that here in the volunteer state? I don't know
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: if we need that up in Gatlinburg.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: Well, what this is is a nuclear fuel cycle project
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: that is being looked at for a coriadge, and there
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: is when you have nuclear energy, then you have that
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: nuclear waste. I don't know where they're going to be.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: This is something the state is looking at. I don't
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: know where they're going to be on this project. I
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: do know that we are definitely a stake that has
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: the opportunity to be a leader when it comes to
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: generating baseload power and you get that from coal, and
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: you get that from nuclear power, and the small modular
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: reactors are what is leading the way in that innovation.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: All Right, Senator Blackburn has the endorsement of just about
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: every leader in the state of Tennessee out on the
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: campaign traill. Senator, we wish you nothing but the best
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: good luck out there and safe travels.
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 17:37

• 18:46
  Speaker 2: two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: nine two six. We are going right to your calls
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: coming up next. All right, welcome back to the Todd
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Starns Radio Show. All right, let's as promise, let's go
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: to the phone. Before we do that, though, I do
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: want to share this item with you. This is coming
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: from the Nashville Banner, and the Nashville Banner is reporting
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: that the Tennessee gubernatorial race, which Marshall Blackburn led by
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I think over fifty points at one time, the Nashville
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Banner is now saying this race is incredibly close. As
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: a matter of fact, a brand new poll by a
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: group called One Message. They polled eight hundred likely Republican
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: primary voters last week and Blackburn is still leading, but
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: her poll numbers have incredibly diminished thirty four point five
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: percent compared to John Rose at thirty one percent, and
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: then Monty Fritz with twenty five point six percent. Nine
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: percent of respondent say they are undecided. And this is
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: one of the reasons why you're seeing a lot of
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of there are a lot
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: of ugly attack ads out there, and a lot of
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: them are coming from outside packs that are seeing Tennessee
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: as a war zone right now as a Republican's battle Republicans.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: And let me just say this, I like all three
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: of them. I know that gets me in trouble with everybody,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: but all three of these people would make fine governors.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: I'm just a big fan of Marshall Blackburn and I've
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: supported her for years and years and years. And you
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: know what, what else she did that the other two
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: guys did not do. She personally asked me for her
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: vote and I respect that. So anyway, and so again,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: a lot of people completely disagree with me, and I
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: get that. With this polling data shows that that something
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: has happened in the Blackburn campaign. When you go from
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: leading your opponents by over fifty points and now your
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: neck and neck. Wow, what does that tell you?
• 21:13
  Speaker 12: All right?
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the phone lines. Mike in clear Lake City, Texas,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: listening to us on Patriot Talk ninet twenty. Hey there, Mike,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: Well, you asked her the question about her opponent, the
• 21:29
  Speaker 10: state senator funding you know, Muslim schools and so forth
• 21:33
  Speaker 10: and valuchers is she did not answer your question. She
• 21:36
  Speaker 10: did the Democrat dodge and deflect. She did not say
• 21:39
  Speaker 10: that she agreed or disagreed with his perspective. That right there.
• 21:44
  Speaker 10: If I was a Tennessee voter, she just lost my
• 21:47
  Speaker 10: vote by not answer your question.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: You know, Mike, this is a it's an interesting thing
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: because the representative Fritz has been very open about wanting
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: to return Christ and the Constitution back everything we do
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: here in Tennessee. You did hear the senator say that
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: America is a Christian nation. But you're right, she did
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: not directly answer what the state representative is wanting to do,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: which is to ban mosques and what he called pagan religions.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: So if there's a pagan religion in his mind, they
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: should not be allowed to practice their religion on Tennessee soil.
• 22:24
  Speaker 10: Well, to me, Islam is not a religion it's a
• 22:28
  Speaker 10: political idea exactly. And where in all of recorded human
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: history have Muslims ever lived peacefully in another nation outside
• 22:38
  Speaker 10: of a Muslim country.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Mike, I'm gonna answer you. I'm gonna answer your question
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: for it. I mean to interrupt you there, But look
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: at what's happening in Spain right now. That's an Islamic invasion.
• 22:48
  Speaker 10: Absolutely, and we've got the same thing going on here
• 22:51
  Speaker 10: in Texas. Chip roy Ca and malvolv All, he wants
• 22:54
  Speaker 10: the Islamic takeover of Texas started decades ago and we're
• 22:59
  Speaker 10: literally over. And that's that's the whole point. People need
• 23:04
  Speaker 10: to step back and look at the big picture. This
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: isn't Christianity versus Islam. This is a political ideology overtaking America.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Mike. It's a it's a great point you raise and
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: and again when you look at the and that's that's
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: been my argument along is that Islam is not a religion. Uh,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: it is a political ideology. And when you look throughout
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: world history, and you've got to go all the way.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're talking thousands of years of history. When
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: you go back and you study Islam, you understand these
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: are not peaceful people. They come in, they conquer, they destroy,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: and they kill the infidels that would be people like
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: you and me, Mike.
• 23:48
  Speaker 10: Well, it all goes back to Ishmael and Isaac. Muhammad
• 23:51
  Speaker 10: created Islam to motivate the ishmael Ized to make war
• 23:55
  Speaker 10: with the Israelites. That's where it all stems from. It
• 23:58
  Speaker 10: is never going to stop. There's no living in peace
• 24:01
  Speaker 10: with these people. It's not in their DNA.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Well, let me just say this. Let me say this, Mike,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: and again when you know, bringing it back to what's happening.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: And the reason this is a huge campaign issue is
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: that there are school vouchers and parents are allowed to
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: use those vouchers to send their kids to whatever school
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: they want they want to send their kids to, whether
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: it's a Christian school or a Hebrew school or a
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Muslim school. And you've got hundreds of thousands of taxpayer
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: dollars that are now going to these Islamic schools in Memphis, Tennessee. Yesterday,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: this shocked a lot of people, Mike. They put out
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: an all call. There is a they're they're they're calling
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: it a get out the vote campaign just for Muslims,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: and they're going to be gathering tomorrow going out. That's
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: the last day of early voting, and they're going to
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: be going to the polls in mass I can promise you, Mike,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: that's happening in Texas as well. We Muslims are mobilizing
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: the vote. Conservative evangelical Christian churches, many of the non
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: denominational are completely disengaged. And as I pointed out yesterday,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: you've got the black churches that are radical progressive churches,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: You've got the white radical progressive churches, and you've got
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: the Muslims. They are all engaged in the political process,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: while the Southern Baptist and the non denominational folks sit
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: on their blessed assurance and do nothing, saying it is
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: beneath them to get involved in politics that will lead,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: my friend to the destruction of the United States of
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: America as we know it.
• 25:38
  Speaker 10: Well, all these boys only Islami schools that are now
• 25:43
  Speaker 10: starting to pop up, those are not schools. Those are
• 25:47
  Speaker 10: the hottest training camps. I can assure you.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and that's the question I have. What exactly
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: are they teaching those kids? And God forbid, five ten
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: years from now, we have some sort of a massive
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: terror in Tennessee and the person responsible was trained right
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: here on Tennessee soil. So it certainly is something that
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: everybody ought to be concerned about. Mike, thank you for
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: that call. Here's a better thought and the reason they're
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: doing the vouchers. Now hear me on this. This is
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: gonna this is gonna tick off the Christian crowd here.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: But here's the reality. The only reason we're doing these
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: vouchers so that kids consider you know that parents consider
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: their kids of the Christian schools or the private schools
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: or whatever, is because the taxpayer funded schools are failing.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Here's a thought, and I know it's a wild one.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Why don't we fix the failing public schools? Why don't
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: we do that instead? Is that even remotely a possibility?
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: All right, let's uh nine oh one two six zero
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. That's nine oh one two six
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: zero five, nine two six. Let's go to Mike in Memphis, Tennessee,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: listening to us on KWAM. Mike, what's on your mind?
• 27:00
  Speaker 13: Yeah?
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: I was listening to the information earlier in the week
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: about the concern about Fauci and him not being able
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: to prosecute it. But one of the things that the
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: State of Tennessee is going to have when we elect
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: Moni Fritz as a governor, who will have an age
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: that will go after those people, including Fauci and everyone
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: that was involved in that scam, to be prosecuted and
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: be held accountable for the victims of the State of Tennessee.
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: Not only that, MANI, He's got a functional way of
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: articulating the Constitution that none of these other candidates can.
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: He can apply the Constitution on the fly without pulling
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: out a cheap sheet or scheduling an appointment with a preordained,
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: disseminated message that has been improved by a committee. He
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: actually knows this stuff and he can apply it. And
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: that's one thing that the average person that supports the
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: constitution can get behind that we've never had as far
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: as I can recall.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think. I don't think we have had
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: in at least in my memory in my lifetime. Mike, Look,
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: I agree with you, and I think that is that
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: is the work around here is the federal pardon does
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: not cover any state charges, so state attorneys general can
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: actually jump in there. I know Florida Mike has already said, yeah,
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: we're investigating right now, Uttmeyer is the ag down in Florida,
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: and they're already going after Fauci. I think that's I
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: think that's a good thing. I like that idea real quick, Mike,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: before we let you go, Are you surprised by those
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: polling numbers we just shared with you?
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'd like to see who they're polling. I think
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: that there's a lot of people that are not disclosing
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: who they're voting for because they just don't want the harassment.
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: But the people I'm standing at a poll right now,
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: and I've talked to several people this morning, and everybody
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: I've talked to except for two our Fritz supporters, and
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: they just want to go in and vote and not
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: be harassed. But when you talk to them, just one
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: on one, without a craft, they're saying, yeah, they support
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: the Constitution and they don't feel like these other two
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: candidates have the track record of that, and so they're
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: going with their gut and their heart. They're not listening
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: to these tun ins to say you can't vote for
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: that guy because he's not going to win. Well, they're thinking, no,
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: if I vote for you, I'm not going to win.
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: I'm voting for the Tennessee and not the DC candidate.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: All right, my good call today. Thank you for weighing
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: in and thank you for being out there of those
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: polling places again, early voting underway and Tennessee and the
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: numbers are huge. The bad news the Democrats are outpacing
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: the Republicans. That is a disturbing thing. And now we
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: hear what's happening in Texas with the polling data showing
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: that some Republicans are throwing their support behind James Talerico,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: a guy who literally thinks the Bible is propaganda. Unbelievable.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Athens, Georgia. Scott listening to us on
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: WDUN on this open Line Friday. Hi Scott, what's on
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: your mind?
• 30:11
  Speaker 12: Mister Todd?
• 30:12
  Speaker 14: I got a question. Why hasn't President Trump in the
• 30:15
  Speaker 14: Justice Department gone back and brought these like Hoseia Barrah,
• 30:21
  Speaker 14: the killer of Lake and Rileigh the killer of Molly
• 30:24
  Speaker 14: Tibbets and that girl that got killed out in San Francisco.
• 30:27
  Speaker 14: Why haven't they gone back and brought these people back
• 30:30
  Speaker 14: and tried them under federal statutes. And he speak to death.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Penalty, Well, Scott, I'm they can't even they can't even
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: do anything with the illegals who haven't murdered anybody. So
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's a matter of they don't
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: have the resources or the manpower, or maybe they don't
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: have the wherewithal. But if you remember President Trump signed
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: the when was this? This was earlier this year. I
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: think it was back in January when he signed the
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Lake and Riley Act into law. You know, it is
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: the law of the land, and it mandates that if
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: you aren't illegal, and you are accused of all sorts
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: of crimes, including death or serious injury, then you are
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: mandated to be detained by the Feds. So I don't
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know the answer to that question other.
• 31:19
  Speaker 14: Than that, yeah, I mean, I mean basically, Jose Abrera
• 31:24
  Speaker 14: he crossed state. He's wanted in New York and he
• 31:27
  Speaker 14: crossed state lines. That's a federal thing. And the thing
• 31:31
  Speaker 14: is that Governor Kemp and Chris Carr down here, they
• 31:33
  Speaker 14: just covered it up. They didn't try to speak to
• 31:35
  Speaker 14: death penalty. They just slipped this da over in Athens.
• 31:38
  Speaker 14: Just do the Hispanics, just do it.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: He got what life in parole, life on life without parole?
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Is that right? I think that was the decision that
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: that was correct.
• 31:50
  Speaker 14: But everybody jumped all over Camp and car and they
• 31:53
  Speaker 14: just he hawed around and made three thousand excuses why
• 31:56
  Speaker 14: they couldn't do anything. But they never really put pressure
• 31:59
  Speaker 14: on this DA here in Clark County to go after
• 32:04
  Speaker 14: the death penalty. I mean, either that they should have
• 32:06
  Speaker 14: removed or as DA is you know, I mean DeSantis
• 32:08
  Speaker 14: removed DA's in Florida, and Kim won't remove nobody. He
• 32:12
  Speaker 14: didn't even remove the sheriff that was part of this
• 32:16
  Speaker 14: problem here in Clark County with this sanctuary thing. He
• 32:20
  Speaker 14: didn't even remove him. I mean, it's just the whole
• 32:23
  Speaker 14: thing is just it's thanks here in Georgia, Overlake and Riley.
• 32:27
  Speaker 14: I mean, this thing is just never going to go away.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Scott, I'm with you. I'm look, I'm a hardliner. You
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: take a life, then you you forfeit yours. That's that's
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: the way it ought to be. And quite frankly, with
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: these illegals, i'd be I would take it a step further.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: I would actually, I don't care where you comitted the crime,
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: but when you're executed, they take you down to that
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: southern border and it is a public execution and a
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: warning to anyone that you come into this country illegally
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: and you commit a crime, this is what's going to
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: happen to you. Yeah, but I'm just a hardliner like that, Scott.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: I got to run. They're making me a they're hollering
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: at me. We got to take a break here. But
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: I certainly do appreciate your call. Nine oh one two

• 34:13
  Speaker 2: to the phones here on this open line. Friday, nine
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five, nine twenty six. Carrie
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: and Memphis, Tennessee listening to us on KWAM. Carrie, what's
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: on your mind today?
• 34:26
  Speaker 13: Yeah, you were talking about fishing the public schools. Well,
• 34:29
  Speaker 13: that's not going to be an easy thing to do
• 34:32
  Speaker 13: because the first thing you gotta do is take control
• 34:36
  Speaker 13: away from the teachers' unions.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Well well yeah, I mean that's a big part of it.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: And look, nobody said it was going to be easy,
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: but you know the reality is that we've got to
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: do something, and I think one of the first steps
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: is actually taking control of these local school boards. You know,
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: a lot of folks on the conservative side of the aisle,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: they want to run for Congress or the senator or whatever,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: but they don't want to run for an office that
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: really really matters, which will be the local school board.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: So I think if we can start there, we can
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: start whittling away at the influence of these these teachers' unions.
• 35:17
  Speaker 13: Well, that's true. But the way you make sure to teachers'
• 35:21
  Speaker 13: unions don't have control to local school boards is you
• 35:25
  Speaker 13: simply make it illegal to join a teachers union in
• 35:28
  Speaker 13: the state. And that can be done. That's not a
• 35:31
  Speaker 13: freedom of association. There's no freedom of association with that.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: That's not a violation, and that's what you would do. Carrie, Okay,
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: I think we lost carry. All right, thank you for
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: the call. There. No, Actually, you can't do that was
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: the point I was getting around to. You cannot completely
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: ban teachers from joining a union. What states can do
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: is they can to restrict things like elective bargaining rights
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: and strikes and things of that nature. But you cannot
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: do an outright ban. All right, We've got to take
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: a quick break here. When we come back, Brad Dakas

• 39:07
  Speaker 2: John Wayne Airport involving a Pride Month display and Southwest
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Airlines well here to explain why Pacific Justice Institute is
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: suing Southwest Airlines let's bring in the president of Pacific
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Justice Institute, my good friend Brad Dakas. Brad, good to
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: have you with us. What in the world is going
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: on here, sir?
• 39:31
  Speaker 15: Yeah, it's really it's really sad and disappointing to hear
• 39:34
  Speaker 15: this coming from the Southwest Airlines Apparently, Well, they had
• 39:39
  Speaker 15: a big display and you know, for the June Pride month,
• 39:43
  Speaker 15: and that's they wanted to give it full recognition and
• 39:46
  Speaker 15: they can do that. And at the tick encounter they
• 39:50
  Speaker 15: had this big pride sign and they had this another big, big, huge,
• 39:56
  Speaker 15: gigantic sign saying everyone is what everyone's welcome was welcome
• 40:00
  Speaker 15: with a big rainbow background with it. Well, an employee
• 40:06
  Speaker 15: of a Pacific Justice Institute was getting their boarding pass,
• 40:09
  Speaker 15: went up there and just simply asked the question in
• 40:12
  Speaker 15: a very you know, very respectful way, saying.
• 40:16
  Speaker 9: What what do you mean by we say pride? Pride?
• 40:18
  Speaker 9: And what you know? What do you what are you
• 40:20
  Speaker 9: talking about?
• 40:21
  Speaker 15: You know exactly and anyway, just uh, and it was
• 40:26
  Speaker 15: was shocked when the ticket clerk said, I'm not going
• 40:31
  Speaker 15: to serve you.
• 40:33
  Speaker 9: Uh, you're not getting get a ticket.
• 40:35
  Speaker 15: And this this was really taken back because he was
• 40:38
  Speaker 15: being you know, challenged because of his Christian beliefs, and and.
• 40:42
  Speaker 9: It was very obvious.
• 40:43
  Speaker 15: I guess to the flight attendant that this was one
• 40:46
  Speaker 15: of those Christians, and we have evidence of that that
• 40:49
  Speaker 15: he actually knew that this was a Christian apparently, and
• 40:52
  Speaker 15: so as it turns out, he then said, no one
• 40:57
  Speaker 15: else give him.
• 40:58
  Speaker 9: A boarding pass either.
• 40:59
  Speaker 15: And then this individual said, well, okay, I'm going to
• 41:03
  Speaker 15: talk to the supervisor, and he went back and then
• 41:06
  Speaker 15: he came back to the Yeah, supervisor is not available.
• 41:09
  Speaker 15: So this employee, Pacific Justice in suit, was treated like
• 41:13
  Speaker 15: a second class citizen clearly because of his Christian beliefs
• 41:17
  Speaker 15: and his faith, his convictions, and had to find in
• 41:21
  Speaker 15: an alternative way to be able to get on the
• 41:24
  Speaker 15: Southwest Airlines flight. It's a huge disappointment, but Southwest unfortunately
• 41:30
  Speaker 15: has taken no remedial actions at all, not even an
• 41:32
  Speaker 15: apology to this employee. So we have Pacific Justice are
• 41:36
  Speaker 15: representing this staff member, and I've sued Southwest Airlines for
• 41:42
  Speaker 15: clearly violating public accommodation doctrine pursue into California law.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: So I just want to be clear and I apologize
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: for having to ask these questions Brad, But you know
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: how the media is and I want to make sure
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: we're clear. We've seen we've seen videos of airline passengers
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: going bonkers crazy. You know, they're they're jumping behind the
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: ticket counters and causing all sorts of chaos when when things,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: you know, they don't get their way, Your your stafford
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: did not do any of that, right, so very kind
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: and polite.
• 42:15
  Speaker 9: Very kind.
• 42:16
  Speaker 15: The fact that the staffer you know, is reportedly very
• 42:19
  Speaker 15: strong in their Christian faith, made a point to have
• 42:21
  Speaker 15: a smile on their face. They're inquiring, and you know,
• 42:26
  Speaker 15: there was just absolutely no justification for this kind of treatment.
• 42:30
  Speaker 15: And the good news for the for the staff member
• 42:34
  Speaker 15: is the fact that there is one of those clerks
• 42:38
  Speaker 15: behind the ticket counter happens to be a very strong,
• 42:41
  Speaker 15: committed Christian and we believe will provide all the validation
• 42:46
  Speaker 15: that's necessary to show that there was absolutely no.
• 42:50
  Speaker 9: Reason for them to be treated like this.
• 42:52
  Speaker 15: Yeah, you know, so if Southwest wants to promote and
• 42:56
  Speaker 15: they can take it upon themselves as an ideology which
• 42:59
  Speaker 15: they have to push out LGBTQ, they have the freedom
• 43:03
  Speaker 15: to do that, but legally they can't do that. At
• 43:05
  Speaker 15: the same time, if they're going to treat Christians like
• 43:10
  Speaker 15: second class citizens and actually deny them services simply because
• 43:15
  Speaker 15: of a question they asked that was indicative of their
• 43:18
  Speaker 15: clear Christian religious beliefs.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: So so your staffer went trying to get some help
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: printing this boarding pass. The ticket agent refused to did
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: other people as well. Was he was the staffer eventually
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: allowed to get a boarding pass.
• 43:34
  Speaker 15: Yeah, the staffer had to find another way to do
• 43:37
  Speaker 15: that to be able to get on the plane.
• 43:39
  Speaker 9: So they were able to get on the plane.
• 43:40
  Speaker 15: But even then, the staffer was really shaken and not
• 43:44
  Speaker 15: sure that even when he got to the gate, you
• 43:48
  Speaker 15: know that they weren't going to pull in and say no,
• 43:52
  Speaker 15: you can't get on the plane. It was very nerve
• 43:54
  Speaker 15: wracking for this individual, and we really take it, take
• 43:57
  Speaker 15: it to heart, and that's why we're taking this case
• 44:00
  Speaker 15: very serious. We're going to take this as far and
• 44:02
  Speaker 15: as long as we need to. We intend to push
• 44:04
  Speaker 15: this out on our media platforms across the country, and
• 44:08
  Speaker 15: we want to hold Southwest account well, you know Southwest
• 44:11
  Speaker 15: that apologize. If Southwest has said this was wrong, we
• 44:14
  Speaker 15: wouldn't be here. But they would not even apologize to
• 44:17
  Speaker 15: this staff member make no changes in terms of their policies.
• 44:23
  Speaker 15: Know this is rang as it wasn't just one employee.
• 44:27
  Speaker 15: There were other staff members there who denied services as well,
• 44:32
  Speaker 15: and the supervisor was apparently put on notice and refused
• 44:36
  Speaker 15: to come out and allowed this thing to play its course.
• 44:40
  Speaker 15: We need to put our feet down on that and
• 44:42
  Speaker 15: we have Pacific Justice intend to represent anyone else out there.
• 44:45
  Speaker 15: It's specifically the Southwest Airlines. If they have any kind
• 44:48
  Speaker 15: of harassment by a flight attendant, a clerk, counter, anyone,
• 44:53
  Speaker 15: or any airline for that matter, they need to contact us.
• 44:56
  Speaker 15: We've got offices all over the country. We are ready
• 44:58
  Speaker 15: to file lawlawsuit after lawsuit against any airline like Southwest
• 45:04
  Speaker 15: that is clearly cross the line. We have to stop
• 45:07
  Speaker 15: this clear anti Christian bigotry and hostility. We need to
• 45:12
  Speaker 15: nip it in the bud, and that's what we're intending
• 45:14
  Speaker 15: to do.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: I am I am just stunned here because I have
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: to imagine a lot of Christians fly Southwest Airlines and
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: for something like this to happen, it just seems to me.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: Not only is it a violation of the Constitution, it
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: seems to me Braddy because this is also a pretty
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: bad business model.
• 45:32
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it really is. It really is.
• 45:34
  Speaker 15: And the longest thing draws out, the more and more
• 45:38
  Speaker 15: people are going.
• 45:39
  Speaker 9: To find out about it.
• 45:40
  Speaker 15: And I encourage people out there if they go to
• 45:42
  Speaker 15: a Southwest Airlines ticket counter and they might want to
• 45:45
  Speaker 15: just say, you know, I'm a Christian, stay there there
• 45:47
  Speaker 15: and I heard that, you know, the thought about the
• 45:50
  Speaker 15: lawsuit about the Christians denied a boarding pass because he
• 45:53
  Speaker 15: asked about, you know, what the pride signe was about.
• 45:56
  Speaker 15: I'm really disappointed in that public pressure can also come
• 46:00
  Speaker 15: coupled with the litigation, I think can help change policy.
• 46:03
  Speaker 15: But right now, the people they apparently have in their leadership,
• 46:07
  Speaker 15: they're not the same as mainstream America.
• 46:09
  Speaker 9: Apparently they're far to the left.
• 46:11
  Speaker 15: And the fact that they have not taken remedia a
• 46:14
  Speaker 15: measures at all, not even apology, that doesn't sit well
• 46:18
  Speaker 15: with myself or I think most Americans are most customers.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: I think the most egregious part of this that happened
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: at John Wayne Airport brand.
• 46:26
  Speaker 15: Yeah, that's probably one of the more conservative communities at
• 46:31
  Speaker 15: southern Orange County, California. It's a little bubble, if you will.
• 46:35
  Speaker 15: A lot of Christians live in Southern Orange County. So
• 46:39
  Speaker 15: I think it is ironic that if they would do
• 46:43
  Speaker 15: it there, and if they'll do it there and go
• 46:45
  Speaker 15: out of their way to do what they did there,
• 46:48
  Speaker 15: they can do it at LAX.
• 46:50
  Speaker 9: And other airports across the country. Had to put our
• 46:52
  Speaker 9: foot down.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: To Yeah, while you'ressuing them on this particular issue, can
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: you add something to the lawsuit doing something about the
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: new boarding procedures at Southwest? Is that possible?
• 47:05
  Speaker 15: I know that's been very frustrating for many people, especially
• 47:07
  Speaker 15: if they're not an a list preferred getting those seats
• 47:12
  Speaker 15: at the very front where they get the free pistachios
• 47:14
  Speaker 15: and the two inches or how many inches more of
• 47:16
  Speaker 15: a leg room. That's been fairly frustrating. And yeah, I
• 47:22
  Speaker 15: hear you there, But you know, I can deal with that.
• 47:25
  Speaker 15: I think most customers they can bear that, but they
• 47:29
  Speaker 15: can't bear the idea that they could be possibly prevented
• 47:32
  Speaker 15: from flying on the airline because.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: Of their Christian beliefs.
• 47:37
  Speaker 15: Yeah, because of their identity as a Christian, their Christian
• 47:40
  Speaker 15: beliefs and convictions and just asking a question with a smile,
• 47:45
  Speaker 15: that is that's unheard of. And but we're going to
• 47:49
  Speaker 15: make sure we're going to do everything we can to
• 47:50
  Speaker 15: make sure this doesn't happen again to other people across
• 47:54
  Speaker 15: the country.
• 47:54
  Speaker 9: And that's where we're.
• 47:55
  Speaker 15: Engaged in hardball litigation and we're going to continue with
• 47:58
  Speaker 15: this as far and as long as is necessary.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: All right, Brad Dakas, Pacific Justice Institute, Ladies and gelemen,
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: maybe you have a legal issue that you think might
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: need addressing. Let me give you their website address, Pacific
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: Justice dot org. That's Pacific Justice dot org. They have
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: attorneys all across the nation and these folks are good.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: They are wonderful, wonderful lawyers, and they will they will
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: certainly take a strong look at whatever you are dealing with. Brad,
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: always good to hear from you, my friend. Please keep
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: us updated on this one.
• 48:35
  Speaker 9: I will do. Thank you.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: All right. There you have it, Brad Dakas suing Southwest
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: Airlines over this crazy story. Unbelievable, but the Christian was
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: almost was almost not able to get on board the plane.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: And I guess ultimately that's what the end goal here was.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: If you weren't going to print on the boarding pass, Parker,
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: were you shaking your head with the Southwest Airline the
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: boarding you know, the baing procedures. Those are really frustrating.
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: I just didn't see they need to change it. Yeah,
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: it was working.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: I'm a Delta guy and I make no I make
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: no apologies for this. I only fly first class. That's
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: the only way I will travel. And I don't blame you,
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: it's it's just otherwise. You know, you don't want to
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: be stuck back with the real housewives or whatever, and
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: people get into a fist fight, and I've seen what
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: happens back in steerage. Then they give you their they
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: give you the doctor pepper and a real glass.
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: That's a different level up there.
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: It's really nice. And but the big problem though, I
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: don't know what it is, but back in the day,
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: you could fly and you could eat peanuts till you were,
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: you know, blue in the face. Nobody cared. But now
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: you got the peanut allergies. And every single flight I'm on,
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: somebody's got a freaking peanut allergy, so they can't serve
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: any peanuts. That's not how they used to deal with
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: it back in the day. I don't know when, I
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: don't even know that's going to open up a whole
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: can of worms. But like blasted peanut allergies. All right, fine,
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: I'll have the biscatti, okay, which is not bad either. No,
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: it's not bad. It's not bad. As a matter of fact,
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: I was I'm heading out to Los Angeles. This is
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: kind of funny. I'm heading out to Los Angeles. Have
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: you guys knows the airline prices are insane right now
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: and people are I know Joe from ler Jas, Yeah,
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: because your fly first class stars. What's going on with that?
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: Someone once told me. You know about about flying, you know,
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: God forbid the plane crashes, but when you you're going
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: to heaven, you know the plane crash. You should go
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: to heaven. Do you really want it on your mind
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: that you paid like, I don't know, one thousand dollars
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: for your seat while the guy in the back of
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: the plane going to heaven along with you only paid
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: like fifty bucks. My answer to that is, I got
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: no problem with that. You got no problem at all,
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: because you know why, because I get doctor pepper in
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: a glass, for God's sakes. But anyway, you having it.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: I had to pick up my menus so they had
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: the like a meal and everything.
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: It's really nice if you have to do a lot
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: of traveling because there's a lot that goes on, and
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: so it's good to be relaxed, is the whole point
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: of it. I'm not that pretentious. Then again, I do
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: stay at the Ritz.
• 51:15
  Speaker 9: I don't know.

  Speaker 2: not all that great. So you guys are going to
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: have to get out and be sure you vote on
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: election day. Early voting not going well in many states. However,
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: in Georgia, you guys have an interesting gubernatorial race and
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: the former mayor of Atlanta, the woman who literally ran
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: the entire city into the ground, Keisha Lance Bottoms, is
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: making some headlines. This is Rick Jackson's latest ad Rick Jackson,
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: Rich Jackson, by the way, is a good guy. He
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: grew up in extreme abject poverty, grew up in Techwood
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: homes I believe, one of the most violent Section eight
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: housing projects in the city, and went on to become
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: a multi bazillionaire. Anyway, take a listen to Cut thirty police.
• 52:54
  Speaker 11: When Keisha Lance Bottoms got elected, she said.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: We must be it's stewarts of your tax stop.
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: Just thirty days later, taxpayers hovered the cost of a
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: first class plane ticket for a Mayor Bottom's.
• 53:06
  Speaker 9: Husband to fly to the Super Bowl.
• 53:07
  Speaker 8: Worse, eleven thousand dollars in luxury Chaufford car service tabs
• 53:12
  Speaker 8: just their first five months in office.
• 53:14
  Speaker 15: If Mayor Bottoms wants her legacy to be we're too
• 53:18
  Speaker 15: greedy to care, then they're off to a bright start.
• 53:20
  Speaker 11: Kisha Lants Bottoms, she's out for herself, not Georgia.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, all right, you know, I wonder I should
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: have checked with our friends at WDUN. I bet you
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: guys are getting overwhelmed by all of the the campaign ads.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: You know, the station I own, k WAM and Memphis
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: campaign ads are so insane. Right now, we've completely run
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: out of inventory. It's we're sold out. Everybody's calling everybody
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: all sorts of crazy stuff. This story, though, maybe the weirdest,
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: and this is this is saying something coming from a
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: you know, a campaign cycle where you know, you had
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: a guy who was you know, had allegiance to the
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: Nazis and did all sorts of horrible things to women
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: in Maine. And you've got James Tallerico, the guy who
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: found his girl friend in a gay bar. It's there's
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: just some weird stuff going down all over the place.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: This headline, though, I did not see coming. It turns
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: out the guy that's going to be replacing Graham Plattner
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: on the ticket, his name is Troy Jackson out of Maine,
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: and he has fathered children. He's in a long term
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: relationship with his high school sweetheart. Well that's nice, right,
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, how many of those love stories
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: have you heard? Right where you meet the lovebirds met
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: and what junior high school and they were best friends
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: and and they go on to get married and you know,
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: they live together for the rest of their lives. They
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: have kids. The hold on your I mean, that's how
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: you know that's a heartwarming story. Well, it turns out
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: he married his second cousin and sired children with the
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: second cousin. Jackson and the woman the second cousin share
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: two adult children and the same great great grandparents. That's
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: according to a report by independent journalist Steve Robinson. This
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: is from the New York Post. Reporting notes such relationships
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: are both legal under state law and not uncommon in
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: the rural North Maine Woods region that's near the Canadian border.
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of weird. What I'm just no, I'm
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: not judging anything. I don't know, Parker. I don't know
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: if the children came out. Okay, I'm assuming they did,
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: but you know there's a risk. I'm just saying, when
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: you're no the first cousins, Yeah, you've got to really
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: steer clear that. That's just I was talking to somebody
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: in Alabama about that the other day. Actually, no, I'm
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: just kidding. I'm just kidding. I am very happy to
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: report this was happening in Maine and not south of
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: the Mason Dixon line. Jeez, I just got a note
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: from a buddy of mine. His name is Brent Taylor.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: He is running for Congress in this new district in Tennessee.
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: This is going to be a pickup seat for Republicans
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: Steve Cohen's old district. Brent Taylor, running against four Republicans
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: in the primary is next week. Taylor is by all,
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: from all indications, the front runner. He got President Trump's endorsement,
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: and the President Trump really delivered a powerful message about
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: Brent Taylor and the fact that he's going to be
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: in america first warrior. So really great. Well, guess we're
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: Brent Taylor's now he's in Nashville and he just got
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: the endorsement of Kid Rock. So there you go. Well done,
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: Senator Taylor as soon to be Congressman Brent Taylor. Uh
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: there in there in the in Nashville, all right, nine
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. I
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: want to go right away to our Patriot mobile news
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: maker line. It is Friday and always a pleasure to
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: talk to our good buddy, the great American talk show
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: host Joe Messina. Joe Messina dot com is the website. Joe.
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: I want to run a story by you that we
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: we were talking about before the break and hope, by
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: the way, are you doing good? Everything going well for you?
• 57:43
  Speaker 8: On the advice of counsel, I've been told that I
• 57:46
  Speaker 8: shouldn't answer the question and holding my I'm right.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: You know who I feel, you know what, I was
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: really concerned about watching all of that. But before we
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: jump into this, there may have been a lot of
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: people up on Capitol Hill. That was their drinking game
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: word phrase, and I was I think I uber drivers
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: may have been very, very busy. Anyway, I'm sorry, I'm
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: doing great.
• 58:13
  Speaker 6: Go ahead.
• 58:13
  Speaker 8: Very hot here in California. We're experiencing humidity like we
• 58:16
  Speaker 8: never have before. But I grew up in Boston. We
• 58:18
  Speaker 8: had humidity all over the place.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: So I got a question for you. Did you in Boston?
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: Did you guys have a lot of This is a
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: it's a it's a delicate question to ask, really, Joe Messina,
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: but did you guys ever have any you know, first
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: cousins getting it on?
• 58:35
  Speaker 8: Uh no, we Oh god, you're gonna get me in trouble.
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: I'll just say no, Okay, Well, I know, look, I'm asking.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: The only reason I'm asking it's it's like a major
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: news story now where the headline out of the New
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: York Post is this main this guy running for the
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: senate US Senate. His name is Troy Jackson, and he
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: fathered two kids with his second cousin, and and to
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: me being in Tennessee, that that is a bit unusual.
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: I I just thought, so, I was just wondering, is
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: that like a regional thing, you know, that the folks
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: are getting shacked up with you know, are shaken up
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: rather with their with their cousins.
• 59:12
  Speaker 8: No, and you know a lot of my people, if you,
• 59:14
  Speaker 8: if you pardon the term, they came from small villages
• 59:16
  Speaker 8: in Italy. There wasn't much pickings there so to speak.
• 59:19
  Speaker 9: Jeez, you know, I.
• 59:21
  Speaker 8: Mean, never never heard about it growing up. I'm gonna
• 59:24
  Speaker 8: have to ask.
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: My mom, well this and this could be the problem.
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: I probably wouldn't do that. I would He grew up
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: in a small town population two hundred and thirty seven,
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: so it may have been slim pickens and that was
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: as good as he could get, you know. So, But
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: apparently Maine has a law that bands marriages to your parents, grandparents,
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: your children, grandchildren, siblings, nieces, nephews, aunts or uncles, but
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: apparent but apparently cousins are fair game.
• 59:55
  Speaker 8: Wait a minute, you have to put that in writing?
• 59:57
  Speaker 12: Really?
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: Well, well, no, actually they did so. According to the
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: Post Main Bann, the law initially banned first cousin marriage,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: but in amendment passed two years later that allowed cousins
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: to marry if the would be betrothed present a certificate
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: of genetic counseling signed by a physician. And they had to,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: I guess because and so the certificate and I'm like, oh, well,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: what would that look like? And apparently they've got to
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: they have to be counseled and told that you know,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: there is a risk of physical deformity or cognitive impairment.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: And God forbid, you know your kids born and instead
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: of a nose, he's got like a big toe right
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: in the middle of his face.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah, there you go, and you need to again, we
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 8: needed to take a class for that. I learned all
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 8: this in biology and what the ninth grade. I didn't
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 8: need the certificates, Like.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: Why are your eyes on the side of your head?
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: What's going on there?
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 8: That's not normal about looking like a flounder obviously, Frank, Yeah,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 8: there's that family tree doesn't branch.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: That's not good. That's not good.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 11: No.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: No, I I got in trouble a couple of years ago,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: and I've just stayed that way. It's a lot easier, Uh, yeah,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: so this is crazy, but anyway, that's that's the way
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: it is. I'm just so happy. When I first heard
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: this story, I'm like, please, God, don't let it be
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: a southern state. So well, we have our own issues
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: south of the Mason Dixon line. So there you go. So, Joe,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: yesterday the the last show, my last show on Newsmax.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: I'm now a contributor, and we had Joe Moehler, who
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: is our Los Angeles correspondent on He was doing a
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: live report from skid Row and in the middle of
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: the interview, Joe and his camera guy were attacked live
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: on air. Some guy just walked up and, you know,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: just knocked over the camera and it was it was
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: really kind of a shocking thing, you know. I suggested
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: to Joe they had to chase after the guy and
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: beat the living daylights out of him, but apparently you're
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: not allowed to do that. What's going on there the
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: skid Row in Los Angeles? Is it really that dangerous?
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 12: Yeah?
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 8: You know what, it happens here all the time. Where
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 8: you know that the New Sources of California. You read
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 8: some of the stories, I know you do. There's no
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 8: detail in there. There's no talk of real violence that's happening.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 8: You see pictures of them.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 9: In the streets.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 8: You see pictures of the homeless people sorrowly falling over
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 8: dead after they you know, take drugs or what have you.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 8: But you're not hearing about the real violence. And I
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 8: do I mean some of us who are involved in
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 8: paying attention to what's happening. I've got friends of mine
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 8: in this business that won't go to down town LA
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 8: because of that. And not just downtown in LA. We
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 8: have several pockets. You probably heard about the San Fernando Valley.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 8: It's just as big as the city of Los Angeles,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 8: and it's part of the city, but it's not city proper.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 8: It's kind of an area outside of there. And every
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 8: major side street that you go down it's just lined
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 8: with tents, it's lined with r v's, it's lined with
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 8: people sleeping in the streets. And yeah, there's a lot
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 8: of about you can't even go to. If you go
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 8: down there and you look clean, you look like you're
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 8: not part of the klan, You're going to get in trouble.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: I'm curious, what are people you know, I mean, and
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: even liberals, I'm curious, Orry any liberals actually bothered by
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: any of this, because you know that's that's there. Those
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: are their neighborhoods, not a word.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 8: You know, carry bass came out. I really want to
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 8: know what vitamins she's taken in the morning, because she
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 8: came out, she obviously surrounded by protection walking down the
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 8: streets and she's going, look, it's clan, it's safe. We've
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 8: taken a big chunk out of the homeless. I don't
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 8: you know she must be part of that forty seven
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 8: percent of the people in LA that can't hit their
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 8: age limit from math, you know, she can't add two
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 8: numbers together. It's terrible. It's gotten words. It's actually twenty
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 8: it's grown to what twenty two percent in the last year,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 8: last year and a half. So they won't admit to it.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 8: If they don't admit to it, they can't deal with
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 8: the issue. And I think you know that the police
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 8: chief in LA serves at the pleasure of the mayor,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 8: so he's not going to do anything she doesn't want
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 8: him to do. He's not going to be poured anything
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 8: she doesn't want him to report. Yeah, it's it's bad.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: So we're hearing a lot and by the way, we're
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: honored to have our good buddy Joe Messina with us.

  Speaker 8: and Gavin's aspirations and Gavin's wallet, Gavin's bank account. The
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 8: deals are the things he's making on the major fires
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 8: that we have, these homes, these properties that he's allowing
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 8: to be sold to Chinese nationals. It's it's all you
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 8: know that, it's all money in his pocket. Ultimately, he's
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 8: got the Joe Biden thing going on. It goes through
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 8: five or six different companies before it makes it back
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 8: to him. No big contracts that he's given to his
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 8: wife for NGOs and his wife runs he is. You
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 8: know what, he could teach the mafia how to do business.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: That's a good way to describe it. Joe, We're gonna

  Speaker 16: are not really cousin.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, well, and that maybe that may be
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: the case, at least here in Maine it has been.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: I guess they've been able to verify that information. But
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: you know, it's interesting. I didn't realize this, but they
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: say about two to three percent of the general population
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: risks having a child born with some sort of a
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: birth defect or something like that. Yeah, for children of
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: first cousins, it's almost trip. It's almost double that, four
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: to six percent, So the risk of double. So that's

• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: to talk about kissing cousins today, but you never know,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: you never know. You know what we need, Parker, We
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: need the song. We need the Fauci song. That's what
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: we need.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 3: Oh, we always need it.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: Just it brightens my day.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 17: Do do, dud, doctor Fauci, give us vaccines, help all
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 17: the people who have been quarantined. We'll wear our masks
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 17: and will have to stay distant.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 18: We'll wash our hands and we'll be more resistent.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 17: Foucy g Yes promises.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 18: Please, we'll have a cure that can fight off this disease.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 18: Restrictions will lift with some ease, Doctor Fauci.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 17: Don't forget me.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: You know you heard some you heard some rustling. He
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: actually had cards, note cards with the lyrics on the cards.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: You know who they're saying he is. Everybody's trying to
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: figure out who this kid is because he has like
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: a mask on the face diaper he but he has
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: the same hairdoo. Are you ready for this? As James
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: Tallerco out of Texas. So a lot of people are saying,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: maybe this could be James Tallerco or maybe a close
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: friend of James tall Rico. We don't know, we don't know.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: We're gonna try to hunt down this guy. I want
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: to interview this guy. We're gonna get I wonder if
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: he has any other songs. Maybe he has an album, Parker,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, you never know.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: I wonder who else is on that album.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: Oh well, you've got to have the school choir that's
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: sang Barack husseint Obama. You've got to have the crazy
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: women that were screaming when Hillary Clinton and the Javits
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: Center when Hillary lost the night of the election. That
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: we got to have that. And then the women. I
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: think we've got to have the women. There are so many. Oh,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: we got to have the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: singing They're coming after your children.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 3: We cannot forget about that album, no, I.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: Mean, yeah, that's huge. That's huge. So there are enough songs,
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: you know, liberals across America. I mean, we can put
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: together a compilation album none to mention all of the
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: women going out into the woods and just screaming at
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: the moon, which is like becoming a big thing now.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: So there you go. So great idea, park, All right,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: we're gonna work on that. The challenge may be getting
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: the copyrights, you know, to the songs. I'm not sure
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: anybody would want to copyright a song about you know,
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: coming after you know children, you know, gay men coming
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: after your children. But who knows, I mean maybe maybe
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: it's a popular song in San Francisco. All right, hang tight,
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: Hour three coming up. We're gonna be talking to Scott Walker,
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: former Wisconsin governor, heads up Young America's Foundation, and they

  Speaker 12: Freemi Tew fifty down in Nashville. It's been a great
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 12: year thus far. We're excited, as you say, for Mount Vernon.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: Look, that was a lot of fun. You guys threw
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: one heck of a rally and the turnout was just insane.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: And I have to tell you I was talking to
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: you guys put us up in the hotel complex there,
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: and I was talking to a couple of the folks
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: at the encounter and they were just going on and on.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: I should have told you this back back when it happened.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: They were going on and on about how nice and
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: polite and well mannered all the kids were.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 12: We love it. These are great, brave, courageous people. Have
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 12: you been up on some big battles, particularly for college
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 12: suits stuff on campuses. So we'll have it George Washington's
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 12: Mount Vernon coming Thursday. Over a thousand people from all
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 12: across the country will be joining us.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 9: Well.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 12: Great speakers Ben Shapiro, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 12: is going to make the case that we need a
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 12: strong America to have save Western civilization, all sorts of
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 12: other tremendous speakers and fireworks, and then the whole rest
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 12: of a conference down in DC that's going to feature
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 12: folks from the Trump administration, members of Congress, and of
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 12: course some great conservative speakers fall across the country, all
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 12: with the impact of not just having a great conference,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 12: but equipping these young people to go back to their
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 12: campuses and fight for freedom.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: And that's really why you know, we've been plugged in
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: and so supportive of what you guys are doing, because
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: it is about equipping the students. And your kids are
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: going to have a great time, they're going to have
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: a blast, they're going to beat all sorts of other
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: great kids. But at the end of the day, if
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: that's all it is, okay, that's just another cool weekend together.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: So when you throw in the idea that you're equipping
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: these kids with something, you are really helping to build
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: the foundation for the next generation of leadership in America.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 12: That's exactly right. And it's not just through chapters of
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 12: Young America's Foundation. By the way, if someone's listening once
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 12: to help for once their kids are in kids that
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 12: have helped yf BAT or you're under attacks got you're back.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 12: But it's not only our you have chapters. We provide
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 12: more speakers, for example, on college campuses than the other
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 12: group in America, for the college Republicans, for other groups
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 12: up there as well. And so it's really about equipping
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 12: these students to bring speakers to campus the challenge the
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 12: Democratic Socialists and the Marxist attacks that they get not
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 12: only from professors but from fellow students. The good news is,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 12: I got to tell you what otherwise seems pretty dire
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 12: when you hear these polls. The good news in our
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 12: polling is while there are clearly more liberal than conservative students,
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 12: the number one answer when we ask young people on
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 12: college campuses where they're at politically is moderate. And you
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 12: know you and I might think, well, we went conservatives.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 12: I obviously want a conservative. But to me in today's
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 12: society on a college campus where liberals are celebrated, if
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 12: a student, without being exposed to any of these ideas,
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 12: says that I'm not crazy enough to be considered a liberal,
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 12: I'm somehow in the middle. I'll take that because that
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 12: means we've got a fighting chance. We bring it speakers,
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 12: if we get the message across we can convert them
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 12: to the truth.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we can work with that. All right, that's good.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: We've got We've got some We've got it. We can
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: we can, we can work with that. I I'd love
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: all the conferences that you guys host. And of course
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: you guys have now even gone to middle school level,
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: so you're you guys have the beautiful Ronald Reagan Boyhood
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: Home in Dixon, Illinois. Uh, and I'm wondering how that's
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: going that you guys are fairly new to the middle
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: school part of the movement. What's been the response so far?
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 12: Oh, it's just been fabulous. Again, Freedom at two fifty.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 12: If people are interested, whyoff dot org. We just had
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 12: a few weeks ago our biggest gathering ever for high
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 12: school students in this but then our biggest middle school
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 12: expedition ever at the Ronald Reagan boy at Home in Dixon, Illinois.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 12: We had a massive rally block party as part of that,
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 12: and Rachel campus Duffie and Sean Duffy came and joined
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 12: an all star lineup there as well. We're going to
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 12: have in September another for first ever regional taking it
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 12: out of DC, California, where the Reagan ranch is at
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 12: or Dixon. We're now going to have one in Minnesota,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 12: and lord knows, the people in Minneapolis could use some health.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 12: And we're going to start doing these all over the country.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 12: And we got to start early. We've done it now
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 12: for a few years, and it's been fun to see
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 12: at these high school conferences. Some of the top leaders
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 12: right away in our leadership squad are young people who
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 12: went in through the middle school program. So the reason
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 12: years and years ago they started a high school program
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 12: was to get people young people started sooner in college.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 12: The same things now hold true in middle school. And
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 12: again the left is right and there younger and younger,
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 12: we got to push back.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: My next my next big literary project, I'm heading out.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be spending a couple of weeks over
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: at the Reagan Presidential Library writing a fictionalized series based
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: on Ronald Reagan's growing up years in Dixon and really
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: excited already started doing the research and the stories coming
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: out of that family home. And you know, the lessons
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: he learned from small town America, you know that shaped
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: him as a boy and ultimately shaped his I think message,
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: as you know, when he became governor and then President.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm just I can't imagine and how exciting
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: is going to be to know that maybe one of
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: our future presidents came up through the Young America's Foundation programming.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 12: Well, I really did you look at the impact The
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 12: Reagan movie, which is based on the book The Crusader
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 12: that the Reagan movie just re released with the director's cuts,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 12: has some great segments of that that go back to
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 12: his childhood in Dixon, things that affected his face and
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 12: wanting to be baptized, the impact of his mother, but
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 12: even simple things like he was a lifeguard for ten
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 12: years on the roll park at the Rock River and
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 12: he saved seventy seven.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 12: One things he talked about was watching, you know, the currents,
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 12: and later in life he figured that out with the
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 12: Soviets when everybody else was content with containment, he wanted
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 12: to transform communism and not just contain it. He wanted
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 12: to change the economy. Does all these things work ethic?
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 12: All these things he learned right there in the Midwest.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 12: Of course, being from the heartland America, I appreciate that
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 12: as much as you do.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: And I think you know, when you talked about communism,
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: you know, Reagan understood what the true fight was about,
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: as did William F. Buckley Junior, that this was really
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: a religious fight more so than it was a political fight.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: It was good versus evil, and that really flavored how
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan approached, you know, going, you know, going after
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: the old Soviet Union back in the day. We've got
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: Scott Wie the.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 12: Church he went to down the Block and Dixon. That
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 12: was his first exposure as he saw as a young
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 12: man a Russian dissident come and talk about. But really
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 12: shook him early on as a young man was hearing
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 12: about under communism then pushing faith out that that atheism
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 12: and stopping religious not just Christians but Jews and others
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 12: being able to practice their faith. That really touched him
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 12: and he realized economic freedom, political freedom, but religious freedom
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 12: are all together what we're up against on with communism,
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 12: but increasing these days with democratic socialism as well.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: And of course what as old as You're right? What
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: is old as you again and right here on American
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: soil as we begin to have those fights. Scott Walker
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 2: joining us he as the president of Young America's Foundation,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: hosting a massive freedom at two fifty rally at Mount Vernon.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: Why Mount Vernon, and how did you guys get the
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: go ahead there?
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 12: Well, as you know, we've had so much fun being
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 12: connected to President Reagan said to be at the Reagan ranch,
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 12: at the Regga Ployt home, that we thought in the
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 12: East coast instead of just being in DC. What better
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 12: when we celebrate the two hundred anniversary, two hundred and
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 12: fiftieth anniversary of our great republic, and to be at
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 12: the home of the father of our country, George Washington.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 12: And so we asked, and we told him what we
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 12: were doing, and thankfully they hold twenty events there and
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 12: obviously we had to pay for it, but as worth doing.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 12: We just think it's going to be a great venture.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 12: Even fireworks in the whole bent, but a wonderful way,
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 12: not only at Mount Parnam, but alteredout this year to
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 12: remind young Americans what our founders risk for the freedoms
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 12: we hold here today, and then challenge them as what
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 12: they're willing to do to send them going forward. And
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 12: we particularly remember not Onlywood Washington, but think about it,
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 12: James Monroe ended up being our fifth president. He was
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 12: eighteen on July fourth, seventeen seventy six. Alexander Hamilton he
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 12: was twenty one. James Madison, the author of the US
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 12: Constitution twenty five. And Thomas Jefferson, the man who wrote
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 12: the Declaration of Independence, who was a mere thirty three
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 12: years old. A great reminder that you're never too young
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 12: to fight for freedom.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 2: Well, that's it, that's it. Before we let you go,
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: I do have to brag. You've got a great lineup
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: of speakers. Two of my favorites doctor Burt Folsom, who
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: I did not know very well until I got to
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: start and hanging out with you guys. What he just
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: connects so well with the young people. And also Art Laugher,
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: doctor Art Laffer, who is one of the most brilliant
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: people I know on the planet.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 12: Those two are fabilous. Of course. Bert Fulson, doctor Fulson
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 12: retired now from Hillsdale just spectacular, No wonder, who's a
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 12: great educator Hillsdale College. Doctor Laffer iconic obviously, we we
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 12: love him, love him. But he's become a mentor for
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 12: another one who's going to speak there as well, who's
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 12: also one of my favorites, doctor Daniel de Martin. Oh yeah, yeah,
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 12: not even thirty. But tells the story of what it
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 12: was like growing up in Venezuela. While he's fled came
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 12: to America. He takes that logic that laughers had for decades,
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 12: matches it with that personal story, and it packs a
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 12: punch in fighting back against democratic socialism.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: Great guys, great and just a great lineup, folks. If
• 1:27:06

• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. I I do
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: have a question for you. Have any of you ever
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 2: been to a Culver's a Culver's restaurant? Uh, Parker, you're
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 2: shaking your head.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 3: Yes, I have a few times.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: Is that right? I've only been one time, and I
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: just remember thinking this is the best food I have
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: ever had in a very long time.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest. I didn't say that when I
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 3: went there, but it was a very good burger really so.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: I had the roast beef sandwich and it was like
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: a pot roast beef sandwich. It was delicious.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 3: I have heard that it's really good. I haven't got
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 3: that yet.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: I got you gotta try that the next time. You're okay,
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 2: you know you're there. But the fries, I think they
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 2: do the crinkle fries, if I'm not mistaken.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 3: They did the crinkle fries and they do the fried
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 3: cheese bites. Those are really good.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: You can't go wrong. I will only there are only
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: two kinds of fries I will eat.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 9: Well.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: Now I'm not allowed to eat any but the steak fries.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 2: But they got to be crisp, right. There's nothing worse
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: than a limp steak fry. Right, So you've got to
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: be crisp on the outside and then fluffy on the inside.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 2: And the same with the crinkle fry. There are some
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 2: places in Memphis where they have limp crispy fries, the
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: crinkle fries, and I don't like that.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 3: What's your opinion on the Chick fil a fries.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 2: Not a fan really, yeah, I am what I have
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: never like those waffle fries.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 3: That's surprising, even if they're like really crispy.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 12: I know that.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 2: Even even if they're crispy, I know that's kind of
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 2: you know why. I don't like that they keep the
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: of the skin of the potato on it. That's fair
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 2: and I'm not a big fan, but again, I just
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: don't like it. I don't. I don't like their waffle fries.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 2: Their mac and cheese is good though, good macachie, like
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 2: the macan, but I don't eat the mac and cheese
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 2: with the grilled nuggets. You know, you got to balance
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 2: it out with the healthy. You gotta do that. I
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: miss the They used to have a chicken salad back
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: in there. I love their chicken salad sand which it
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: was always good.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 18: Uh.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 2: And then the the they had carrot salad, and I
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: know that's like a generational thing, but I used to
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: love a good carrot salad.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever heard of that.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good. By the way, have you ever been
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 2: to the Piccadilly? I don't know, Parker, May you have
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 2: to you gotta go. Here's the thing. It's an old
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 2: it's really for old people, but you gotta go. It's

• 1:35:59
  Speaker 2: you tell you tell them what you want and you

  Speaker 2: gotta get the carrot soufle a. It's a Southern tradition
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: and it'll change your life.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 3: I'm taking notes over here.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you get get the roast beef, get the
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: carrot soou fle a. Yeah, they I mean, you can
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 2: get what I mean. It's they've got great food. Anybody
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 2: that's been to the Piccadilly you got to help park
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 2: her out in here. But it's like a quintessential Southern
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: cafeteria style restaurant. They've got one in Germantown.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 3: I love those kinds of restaurants. Yeah, there's one in
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 3: my uh in Birmingham.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: That you gotta go. Yeah, it's they're very good. The
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: reason I asked about culver Zo. There's a woman running
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 2: for governor in Wisconsin. She's the goobernatorial candidate. She's a Democrat.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 2: She's a DSA goal so she's a Democratic Socialist. Her
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 2: name is Francesca Hong Hong and she is all about
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 2: defunding the police, abolishing ice.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 9: And she is.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: Her challenger is our good buddy, the former Congressman Tom Tiffany.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 2: So that's who she's running against, and she is she
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 2: is a radical leftist. Anyway, she's coming under fire because
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 2: she once wrote about Culvers the restaurant. And here's what
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 2: she had to say about Culvers. This is Francesca Hong
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 2: for governor. Why you would put this on your gubernatorial
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 2: campaign page?
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 9: I do not know.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: She says, I ate two bites of my kid's cheeseburger
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 2: at a Culver's in Black River Falls, Wisconsin, and told
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 2: him they ran out of ice cream. Mostly just wanted
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 2: to leave because I was on the verge of an
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 2: anxiety attack. What that's terrible? Why would I mean? Those
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: anxiety attacks are nothing of us around with? You know
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 2: why she had an anxiety attack. Here's what she wrote,
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 2: too many old white people who didn't think we English.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 2: That's at the Culvers in Black River Falls. So I
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 2: want to unpack here in this little Twitter statement or
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 2: ex statement. First of all, why is she why is
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: she eating her kid's food? Why don't you just order
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 2: your own food? Why are you eating your child's food?
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: And I would remember as a child. I actually remember
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 2: this as a grown adult. I was a very well
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 2: known pastor who has not been on this program. I
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 2: will not name names. I won't tell you what state
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 2: it was, but anyway, invited me out for dinner. In
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 2: the middle of the dinner, the guy starts eating off
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 2: of my plate. We're like with a group of people,
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, it was a yeah, I'm not going
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 2: to tell you what denomination, but I'm thinking to myself,
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 2: what the hell are you doing? I just I almost
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 2: said it out loud, you know, that would have been rude.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: And I guess the guy thought, because he was buying
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 2: everybody's supper that they gave him carte blodge to eat
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 2: my fried chicken tenders. If you wanted a chicken tender,
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 2: why don't you order it? I always think that's right.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: It's so I've always that for me. That's the no no,
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 2: you know, you know, so why is the woman eating
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 2: her kid's cheeseburger? But then she lies to her child
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 2: the child wanted an ice cream? And by the way
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 2: I understand, is that the the Culver's ice cream? Is
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: that that stuff?
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 9: What is it?
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: In the Midwest? It's like spackle. You know, the ice
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 2: cream is delicious, but it's the consistent, really thick ice cream.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 2: You could like spackle and put bricks on it. You know,
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 2: it's it's that custard. Thank you. I don't know what
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 2: you it's and it's delicious, don't get me wrong, I
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: just but it is. It's like really thick ice cream.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: So anyway, the kid wanted some ice cream and she
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 2: told him they ran out. That's like, sorry, son, no
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 2: Christmas this or Santah ran out of presence? Wow, thanks
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: a lot, mom. But anyway, she says that there were
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: too many old white people in the culvers. Parker, when
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 2: you went to the culvers, was that your experience? Were
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 2: there a lot of old white people there? Really?
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 9: All right?
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: So maybe that's their demo but here and she said
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 2: they didn't think How does she know that? How does
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: she know?
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 9: You know? Why?
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 2: Because I do wonder if this might have happened. So
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: I'm like, you know, eighty year old sweet grandmother, you know,
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: and maybe again they may not have many I don't know.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 2: Is she she's Asian? They may not have many Asian
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 2: folk in Black River Falls, And it's something of an
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 2: anomaly and so you know how old people do when
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 2: they don't think you speak English? Hello, how are you today?
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: Are you enjoying your culvers? They just yell at you,
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 2: and it's like, I'm not deaf, I'm just you know,
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 2: don't speak English. So maybe that happened. I don't you know.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 2: When you're gonna make these sort of sorts of accusations,
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 2: you really have to be like, you've got to work
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 2: on the detail. You've got to pay attention to the detail.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 2: We've got to have those details so we can talk
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 2: about it all. But anyway, Francesca Hong, who wants to
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: be the next communist governor of Wisconsin, apparently she got
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 2: settled in her path to socialism because she felt like
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 2: people were mistreating her at a culver's restaurant. What you
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 2: like some chopped sticks? I just I don't know. It's
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 2: something tells me this is all made up. Something tells
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: me the woman is a cheap state. You know, she
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 2: didn't want she didn't want to order a burger for herself,
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 2: so she's chowing down in her kids burger. Kid's in
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: a bad mood. I want to interview the kid. I
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 2: guarantee the kid would spill the beans on mom, you
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 2: get the little kid of the room. Are kids spill
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: the beans? She ain't my damn cheeseburger. Don't vote for
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 2: that woman. I'm voting for time, Tiffany. Well you're you're seven, Well, Democrats,
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 2: we can vote when we're seven. Okay, gotcha, just ask
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 2: for a general ballad, I guess so. Anyway, No, I
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 2: don't know if that's how the kids sounds. But because
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 2: it was a teenager, you'd be pushing back, right, I mean,
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 2: I'm in all seriousness, right, you don't do that. This
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 2: is an evil woman, is what I'm trying to get
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 2: around to say here. And it seems to me that
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 2: she is always she's one of these people, always looking
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 2: for a fight. Francesca Hong, the state representative. Oh, she's
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 2: a single mom. Well, yeah, you know why she was
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 2: probably you know, if her husband's played all the time,
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 2: he didn't want to put up with that nonsense. All Right,
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 2: we gotta take a break. Nine oh one two six
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one two
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. This is the Todd
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: Stard Show. All right, welcome back. This is the Todd
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 2: Stars Radio Show. Maybe they walked over and gave the
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 2: woman of Fortune cookie. Maybe that was it. I don't know.
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 2: Francesca Hong running for governor in Wisconsin. Man, those Democrats
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 2: have some weird, weird candidates and folks. I still, I
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 2: still think that the Republicans are gonna win, and they're
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 2: gonna win big no matter what happens. But anyway, nine
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six our
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 2: telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero five
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 2: nine two six. I want to go back to a
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 2: story we told you about yesterday. By the way, we
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 2: had the vid this on our website. You got to
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 2: go and check this out at Todd Stearns dot com.
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 2: A woman walked into a private dentist office and she
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 2: got triggered by God's word. They had Bibles on the tables,
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 2: and the woman completely lost her mind. There's a development here,
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 2: cut number twenty nine. Plase.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 20: So I just went to take my kids to a
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 20: new dentist and I walk in and see Bibles on
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 20: the tables everywhere. And I go to the reception counter
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 20: and say, Hey, what's with all the Bibles everywhere? And
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 20: they said, oh, they're just there, Da da da, And
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 20: I said, I need to cancel my appointment. I'm not
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 20: playing games anymore. This is not a Christian nation. You
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 20: don't need to have Bibles out everywhere in your office,
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 20: or you can't, and I won't patronize it. So don't
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 20: tell me that queer people are trying to shove their
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 20: agenda down people's throats when everywhere I go there's bibles around,
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 20: there's people let me pray for you. Don't give me that.
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 20: I'm done.
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. So here's the thing. She was there
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 2: at the dentist, not for herself but for her children.
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 2: Now I don't know what. I don't know why her
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 2: kids were going there to see the dentist. If they
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 2: maybe had teeth that were rotting out, or maybe they
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 2: had like a cavity, or maybe they're there for braces.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 2: You know, they got teeth growing on top of teeth,
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 2: like some sort of a first cousin kind of a
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 2: thing going. I mean, I don't know, I mean it
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 2: could have been, but whatever it was, they had to
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 2: go see the dentist. And in spite of that, in
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 2: spite of that, ladies and gentlemen, the mom said, we're done.
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 2: Here they worship Jesus. You're gonna have to deal with
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 2: your lousy teeth, and I just hate it. You're gonna
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 2: have these this woman, her kids are gonna be what
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 2: teenagers and they're gonna have to wear dentures. It's really unfortunate.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 2: are telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. This story freaks the ever living
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 2: daylights out of me. And I'm just gonna say that
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 2: this is one of the reasons why I don't like
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 2: hiking in the forest, asigned from the fact that bears.
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say this. We used to do this
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 2: a lot when I was in college. We'd go camping
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 2: out in uh East Tennessee and over in the Okobe Parker.
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 2: You ever been over to Kobe with the whitewater rampants
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, so when.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 2: I was in college, I almost became a guide on
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 2: the on the river. That's how much I love whitewater
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 2: rafting back in the day. Except we had this one
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 2: little We had this one rafter. He was hardcore and
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 2: he loved targeting the kayakers on the river with his
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 2: you know, with the boats, and he had on the
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 2: side of his raft. He had like etched out like
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 2: five or six little kayaks. Those were his kill shots.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 2: He's hard core. So anyway was the point of this story.
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: Oh so, anyway, we would also go camping and hiking.
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 2: It was I was a big outdoors There was a
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 2: time in my life when I was early into outdoors
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 2: and we go camping in the National Forest out there,
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 2: have a lot of fun. Anyway, this story from Montana.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 2: A male nurse, his name is David Sheffaldi, was on
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 2: a ten mile hike. This accident happened at Granite Peak.
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 2: He slipped on rocks. And this guy is very physically fit,
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 2: and he was hiking and he had these trek polls,
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 2: you know, the poles that you if you're a climber
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 2: you're going up a mountain, you would you'd use these
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 2: to kind of help steady yourself. We're going to post
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 2: the pictures at Todd Sterns dot com. So the guy
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 2: takes a tumble, he rolled over and he realized something
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 2: was not quite right, and that's when he realized he
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 2: had impaled himself on one of the trek poles. It
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 2: just went right through him like an arrow. Caleb park
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 2: Our good buddy. Caleb Park actually has the photos on
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 2: his Facebook page. And I mean it went right through,
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 2: like right under the arm, right out the back. And
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 2: the guy was lucky to be alive. But here's the deal.
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 2: He was he was by himself, so he had to
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 2: he he figured out right away being a nurse, that
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 2: he was able to he was still able to walk. Oh,
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. He had two friends with him. They decided
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 2: to leave it all in place and they hiked back down.
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 2: They hiked ten miles down the mountain. This guy is
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 2: impaled and he lived to tell about it. Shockingly, the
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 2: pole missed all of his vital organs. What a what
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 2: a story. Well, good job, mister Sopaldi. What about that
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 2: that nursing training. Hey, let's go to Houston, Texas. June
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 2: is listening to Patriot Talk nineteen twenty. Wants to talk
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 2: about this this Wisconsin candidate. Hi June, what's on your mind?
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 19: Hi Todd, I've been listening to you and I couldn't
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 19: help but call you. I'm Asian and I don't like
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 19: that woman. Well, I don't like her her beliefs. But
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 19: when you talked about her and her buying a Hamburger
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 19: and a kid's meal. I have to confess that I
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 19: have some friends who will do that just to save money.
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 19: And then when she was saying she goes to Clover's,
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 19: I go to a culvert and in the hill country
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 19: there's some covers and I love it. And it is
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 19: a lot of older white people that you know, if
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 19: they look at you, I think it's what your own
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 19: chip on your shoulder, because they might just be curious
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 19: that usually they're not. They're very nice. They might want
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 19: to to ask you a question. So it's on her
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 19: for you know, thinking that you know, she's feeling weird
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 19: or something, because you know, it's not just Asians. I
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 19: think everybody. A few don't know anybody you might be curious.
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 19: It's not it's not a steering meaning that they're you know,
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 19: thinking badly. They just may be curious and and a
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 19: lot of times when you talk to them then they're
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 19: very nice. So I think she has the wrong.
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 2: You know, it's an attitude. I'm going to tell you
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 2: two quick stories. When I lived in New York City,
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 2: I love southern food. The only place to get southern
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 2: food was in Harlem, which at that point was like
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 2: predominantly black and I remember showing up a soul food
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 2: restaurant and the woman at the front counter everybody kind
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 2: of stared and looked. I was the only white guy
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 2: in the establishment. And the woman behind the counter said,
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 2: you're either lost or you're from the South. And I said,
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 2: I'm here for the sweet Potato pie. She said, have
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 2: a seat, and you know, it became I became a regular.
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 2: The other story, I was, I'm a huge Cuban fan.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 2: I love you the pork and the beans and the
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 2: Cuban food. And I found one and it was like
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 2: in Spanish Harlem somewhere, and again I was the only
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 2: white guy there and had had a blast. But everybody's
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 2: looking at you because it's kind of unusual for a
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 2: white guy to show up in those parts.
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 19: Yes, and so I think it's the people that are
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 19: so self aware, but they're still they have an attitude,
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 19: you know, like, oh, you know, maybe you should say
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 19: hi or something. And actually, I have another story, June.
