Transcript
- 0:10Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 0:14Speaker 1: America's favorite gun, total bible, clinging, deplorable American.
- 0:18Speaker 2: That's that's that.
- 0:22Speaker 3: This American.
- 0:25Speaker 4: Jud starts wellome Well, Hello, everybody, welcome to the Todd
- 0:30Speaker 4: Stearns Radio Show.
- 0:32Speaker 5: Great to have you with us today. Our telephone number
- 0:36Speaker 5: if you want to weigh in on the big stories
- 0:39Speaker 5: nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
- 0:42Speaker 5: Again that number nine oh one two six zero five
- 0:45Speaker 5: to nine two six. So I there's really no polite
- 0:51Speaker 5: way to say this, but it turns out that that Congress,
- 0:54Speaker 5: the US Capitol Building, is nothing more than a taxpayer
- 0:58Speaker 5: funded whorehouse. And it's a difficult way to start out
- 1:02Speaker 5: the day because nobody wants to be talking about whorehouses
- 1:06Speaker 5: on the radio. But we've got to talk about this,
- 1:09Speaker 5: ladies and gentlemen, because it's a big deal. So yesterday
- 1:14Speaker 5: we got word that Eric Swollwell has announced he is
- 1:19Speaker 5: stepping down from Congress. He's going to resign. He's saying
- 1:24Speaker 5: that he's deeply sorry for fornicating all over the place,
- 1:29Speaker 5: saying that he's made mistakes and judgment in his past.
- 1:34Speaker 5: He also said that many of the allegations against him
- 1:37Speaker 5: are false. However, he said he will take responsibility and
- 1:41Speaker 5: ownership for the mistakes that he did make, perhaps like
- 1:45Speaker 5: betting an underage girl, allegedly the congressman. And by the way,
- 1:51Speaker 5: everybody's saying, everybody said this was the worst kept secret
- 1:55Speaker 5: in Washington, d C. They're going all the way back
- 1:57Speaker 5: to twenty seventeen. They knew Swalwell was a band dude,
- 2:01Speaker 5: and it terrified. It terrified Kevin McCarthy because he said
- 2:07Speaker 5: that it posed a significant security risk up on campitol Hill.
- 2:11Speaker 5: Take a listen to ten.
- 2:12Speaker 6: Plays the allegations against Eric Swabwell, which have not been
- 2:15Speaker 6: independently confirmed by ABC. He's denied them all but serious
- 2:19Speaker 6: sexual misconduct allegations. And now you have a you know,
- 2:25Speaker 6: an army of Democrats abandoning his campaign for governor. He
- 2:29Speaker 6: was the leading candidate, a Democratic candidate for governor, and
- 2:33Speaker 6: now he's facing calls to drop out from people like
- 2:35Speaker 6: Nancy Pelosi.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Listen, let me be very clear.
- 2:39Speaker 7: I tried to get rid of Swallwell six eight years
- 2:42Speaker 7: ago when I got the briefing when I became leader
- 2:45Speaker 7: with the FBI. Yeah, Nancy Pelosi was in the room.
- 2:48Speaker 7: I turned to her and said, how can you keep
- 2:50Speaker 7: her on Intel? Intel is a select committee that only
- 2:53Speaker 7: the leaders put on that you know all the secrets
- 2:55Speaker 7: that the members do not. But I made a mode.
- 2:58Speaker 6: About sexual misconduct allegations, or.
- 3:00Speaker 7: It was a combination with the Chinese spine led to
- 3:02Speaker 7: all that every member in Congress knows not to let
- 3:07Speaker 7: any young staffer get around Swallow or Matt Gates. It's
- 3:12Speaker 7: not a sequel there. There's a reason why you didn't
- 3:15Speaker 7: want those two people around. He was the leading candidate
- 3:18Speaker 7: for governor. He probably could have won the primer and
- 3:20Speaker 7: got there, but this all came forward, and these young
- 3:23Speaker 7: women deserve justice.
- 3:26Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, I completely agree with Kevin McCarthy, I think,
- 3:31Speaker 5: And again, here is the issue. They've known about this,
- 3:36Speaker 5: but nobody did anything about it. Why are we just
- 3:39Speaker 5: now addressing this fact. Of course at Gage no longer
- 3:43Speaker 5: in Congress, but we've all heard those tawdry allegations. And
- 3:49Speaker 5: it just seems to me, ladies and gentlemen, that I
- 3:52Speaker 5: don't care who you are, if you're a Republican or
- 3:54Speaker 5: you're a Democrat, but you're if you're having your way
- 3:57Speaker 5: with the underage staffers in the interns. Then you need
- 4:00Speaker 5: to go, probably to jail, but you gotta go. You
- 4:04Speaker 5: have disqualified yourself from serving in Congress. But this has
- 4:08Speaker 5: been going on for a long long time, folks. Meanwhile,
- 4:14Speaker 5: Nancy Pelosi, she said that she had no idea this
- 4:19Speaker 5: was going on. I take a listen, cut five.
- 4:23Speaker 8: Of some Republicans and others are saying that Democrats turned
- 4:26Speaker 8: kind of a blind eye, that they knew.
- 4:28Speaker 5: What he was up there.
- 4:29Speaker 9: That is absolutely positive. It's true that they may say that,
- 4:33Speaker 9: but it is absolutely actually no idea whatsoever, none whatsoever.
- 4:39Speaker 9: I had none whatsoever.
- 4:40Speaker 8: What happens in California. Now he was in many of
- 4:44Speaker 8: the polls, the leading kings. He was, that's gone. There
- 4:47Speaker 8: are there's an army of candidates out there, and California
- 4:51Speaker 8: has this quirky law because it's ranked primaries right when
- 4:55Speaker 8: you could end up with two Republicans on the ballot.
- 4:59Speaker 9: I agree that it is a quirky law. I do
- 5:01Speaker 9: not agree that there'll be two Republicans at the top.
- 5:06Speaker 5: So in her defense, Nancy Pelosi, well, she could have
- 5:11Speaker 5: been drunk. I mean, she may genuinely have just been
- 5:14Speaker 5: out of her mind, just knocked down drunk and she
- 5:18Speaker 5: made out of note. But Nancy Pelosi out there, well
- 5:22Speaker 5: we already making a double all right, thank you there, Pelosi.
- 5:30Speaker 5: So what is this really all about? First of all,
- 5:33Speaker 5: this has nothing to do with the morality at all.
- 5:35Speaker 5: We're dealing with politicians. This has everything to do with
- 5:39Speaker 5: the Democrats trying to save the California Governor's office from
- 5:45Speaker 5: a Republican takeover. That's what this is really all about.
- 5:48Speaker 5: So we've been following this racing California pretty closely, and
- 5:52Speaker 5: when I find fascinating about this. They do a jungle primary,
- 5:56Speaker 5: which means that everybody's into the pool and the top
- 6:01Speaker 5: two people on election day advanced to the general. So
- 6:06Speaker 5: it doesn't matter if there are two Democrats, it doesn't
- 6:09Speaker 5: matter if it's a Democrat and a Republican, or it
- 6:12Speaker 5: could be even in California that you could have to Republicans. Now,
- 6:18Speaker 5: leave it to the GOP not to play smart politics here,
- 6:22Speaker 5: and we're going to break this down because I want
- 6:24Speaker 5: to explain what's really going on here with Eric Swalwell.
- 6:27Speaker 5: It has nothing to do with the fact that he
- 6:28Speaker 5: was betting all of the girls. And by the way,
- 6:32Speaker 5: there may be some fellers in the mix. Allegedly, but anyway,
- 6:38Speaker 5: that has nothing to do with it. Right now, this
- 6:41Speaker 5: has everything to do with saving the Democrats in California.
- 6:46Speaker 5: And the latest polling data had Steve Hilton, the Republican
- 6:50Speaker 5: with a very comfortable lead in the polls. Number two
- 6:54Speaker 5: was Eric Swalwell and number three was Chan Bianco, who
- 6:58Speaker 5: is the other Republican run. And of course Donald Trump
- 7:02Speaker 5: came out and said, all right, I'm going to endorse somebody.
- 7:06Speaker 5: I think that was a bad move because it gives
- 7:10Speaker 5: Hilton more momentum and it takes away from Bianco, who
- 7:13Speaker 5: will then slide in the polls. So strategically, it would
- 7:17Speaker 5: have been better to wait until the actual primary, after
- 7:22Speaker 5: the primary to endorse somebody because it could hurt voter
- 7:27Speaker 5: turnout for Beyonco. Now that Trump has thrown in with
- 7:30Speaker 5: Steve Hilton. But again, when you look at the other
- 7:34Speaker 5: you look at the other players here, they're all Democrats,
- 7:38Speaker 5: and they've got a huge number of Democrats that are
- 7:42Speaker 5: in this race. I want to go through the numbers here,
- 7:43Speaker 5: eighteen percent for Hilton, Swallwell, fourteen percent Bionco, who's the
- 7:49Speaker 5: sheriff in Riverside County and is tied with Tom Steyer
- 7:53Speaker 5: who's at twelve percent. And Steyer is this multi bazillionaire
- 7:57Speaker 5: billionaire who is funding his own campaign. So the question
- 8:03Speaker 5: now is will the Democrat Party will they embrace Tom Sneyer,
- 8:08Speaker 5: who is a horrible candidate and he's he's whiter than white,
- 8:14Speaker 5: but he's trying to be black and it's it's not
- 8:17Speaker 5: working out for him. So anyway, now that Swallwell is
- 8:21Speaker 5: out of the race, they've got to figure this out
- 8:23Speaker 5: because the other choice is what porter Who's got our
- 8:27Speaker 5: own domestic issues, So it's the same. So we'll see
- 8:32Speaker 5: how all this plays out. But this has nothing to
- 8:35Speaker 5: do with the right thing. It has everything to do
- 8:37Speaker 5: with saving the Democrats in California. That's why they're freaking
- 8:41Speaker 5: out right now. But that brings me back to what's
- 8:44Speaker 5: been going on up on Capitol Hill, and there have
- 8:47Speaker 5: been efforts to unleash this information. I don't know if
- 8:54Speaker 5: it's if it's going to happen, but it ought to happen,
- 8:56Speaker 5: But I don't know if it's going to happen. You say,
- 8:59Speaker 5: Tom Boarder, you talking about Well, there have been at
- 9:02Speaker 5: least two hundred and sixty eight workplace disputes in Congress,
- 9:08Speaker 5: and many of them involve sexual assault and harassment. More
- 9:13Speaker 5: than seventeen million dollars in settlements have been paid out.
- 9:18Speaker 5: This is a super secret hush fund account, by the way,
- 9:22Speaker 5: that is funded by your tax dollars, which is why
- 9:25Speaker 5: you do have a vested interest in this. So it
- 9:29Speaker 5: just seems to me that in light of what's happening
- 9:32Speaker 5: with swallwell with Gonzales, Tony Gonzalez out of Texas on
- 9:37Speaker 5: the on the Republican side, is this is an everybody
- 9:41Speaker 5: political party issue, Republicans Democrats. Just seems to me, we
- 9:46Speaker 5: need to know who these people are. They're using our
- 9:50Speaker 5: tax money. They're chasing around your sons and daughters that
- 9:54Speaker 5: U sent the Capitol Hill to service pages, and you
- 9:57Speaker 5: deserve to know. And look, I don't look, if you're
- 10:00Speaker 5: a grown, consenting adult, what do I care? All Right,
- 10:05Speaker 5: that's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about
- 10:08Speaker 5: grown men and possibly women who've been taking advantage of
- 10:12Speaker 5: young kids that are interns or working on staff positions
- 10:16Speaker 5: up on Capitol Hill. And those are the people that
- 10:18Speaker 5: we need to be protecting here. So I'm just going
- 10:22Speaker 5: to tell you I believe that we need to get
- 10:27Speaker 5: these people to come clean. Let's go ahead and expose
- 10:30Speaker 5: the predators and the perverts roaming the halls of Congress.
- 10:35Speaker 5: And I say that because the Republicans had an opportunity,
- 10:39Speaker 5: but the Republicans did not. They chose not to release
- 10:42Speaker 5: this information. Why is that, Well, because there are a
- 10:45Speaker 5: lot of perverts and predators on the Republican side of
- 10:48Speaker 5: the aisle too. It's unbelievable. What was it, I mean
- 10:54Speaker 5: a couple of back to the Democrats force, It was
- 10:57Speaker 5: that last year before last when Joe Biden is in
- 11:00Speaker 5: office and you had the you had the staffers, and
- 11:04Speaker 5: they were Democrats, the Democrat staffers, and they filmed themselves
- 11:09Speaker 5: butt naked in one of the hearing rooms doing it
- 11:12Speaker 5: doggy style.
- 11:14Speaker 10: What's going on.
- 11:14Speaker 5: Here again, Ladies and gentlemen. They have turned Congress into
- 11:19Speaker 5: a whorehouse. And that's not right. So I say, let's
- 11:27Speaker 5: release all of the information. More than seventeen million dollars
- 11:31Speaker 5: of your tax money was paid out to victims. We
- 11:34Speaker 5: need to know who these predators are. And after we
- 11:36Speaker 5: do that, we need to, I don't know, take up
- 11:38Speaker 5: a collection, hire a hazmat team and hose down Capitol Hill,
- 11:44Speaker 5: especially that Sitate hearing room where they did it doggy style.
- 11:49Speaker 5: Jezu a Low America. Go to church. Nine oh one

- 13:36Speaker 5: It's we're going to have a great conversation coming up
- 13:39Speaker 5: a little bit later. I do want to go to
- 13:41Speaker 5: the phone lines here nine oh one two six zero
- 13:43Speaker 5: five nine two six Say hello to Gary daytona Beach, Florida. Gary,
- 13:48Speaker 5: what's on your mind?
- 13:50Speaker 12: Uh?
- 13:50Speaker 13: Just two quick comments number one. Four or five years ago,
- 13:55Speaker 13: everybody was, including people like Laura Ingram said when they
- 14:00Speaker 13: found out about the slush fund in Congress and the Senate,
- 14:03Speaker 13: to have people sign off when there was misbehavior of
- 14:06Speaker 13: any type. You know, they were going to have going
- 14:10Speaker 13: to make those public and it would be and I
- 14:13Speaker 13: remember distinctively hearing Laura Ingram say, I'm going to get
- 14:17Speaker 13: that list from both the Senate and Congress, and whether
- 14:19Speaker 13: you're a Republican, Independent, or Democrat, we're going to find
- 14:23Speaker 13: out what nondisclosure agreements and how much money, and we're
- 14:28Speaker 13: going to make this public. And it will be interesting
- 14:31Speaker 13: to see if that ever comes to fruition, but I
- 14:34Speaker 13: doubt it because it's almost like talking about term limits
- 14:37Speaker 13: that seems to disappear. And my only other comment that
- 14:41Speaker 13: I'm hoping later you get into on your show was
- 14:44Speaker 13: Pope Leo is a little bit of a weasel here,
- 14:47Speaker 13: because I did an hour search on he's made his
- 14:50Speaker 13: comments about Trump and the administration. I looked and seen
- 14:54Speaker 13: he never made one comment when the Iran and Iran
- 14:57Speaker 13: when they were killing the protesters, shooting him in prisons
- 15:01Speaker 13: or hospital, never one time about the atrocity. But yet
- 15:05Speaker 13: he wants to battle with President Trump.
- 15:08Speaker 5: Well, no doubt about that. And Gary, we touched briefly
- 15:12Speaker 5: on that yesterday on the show, that this pope, and
- 15:15Speaker 5: I call him Leo, the Pope Leo the Woke because
- 15:20Speaker 5: he is. And when you look at going all the
- 15:23Speaker 5: way back to twenty twenty five, he has been criticizing
- 15:25Speaker 5: President Trump and the administration's policies, but at the same
- 15:29Speaker 5: time turning a blind eye, for example, to the Islamist
- 15:33Speaker 5: that are slaughtering Christians in Nigeria and across Africa. He's
- 15:38Speaker 5: turned a blind eye to what you pointed out here.
- 15:40Speaker 5: I mean, we've had reports of thirty to forty thousand
- 15:44Speaker 5: Iranian protesters slaughtered by the regime, not a single word
- 15:50Speaker 5: coming out of the Vatican. So I think you're absolutely
- 15:54Speaker 5: right that we ought to be talking about that. And look,
- 15:57Speaker 5: I mean this goes all the way back to when
- 16:01Speaker 5: did Leo there was, Francis died, and this all happened
- 16:05Speaker 5: right about the time Trump took office, but before that.
- 16:08Speaker 5: So I can comfortably say two popes and Gary Thinker
- 16:11Speaker 5: for the call, two popes turned a blind eye to
- 16:15Speaker 5: the Biden administration. Joe Biden was out there and he
- 16:19Speaker 5: was declaring war on his own faith. You know, Joe
- 16:22Speaker 5: Biden claims to be a Roman Catholic. I mean that's
- 16:25Speaker 5: what he says, and yet he is pro abortion and
- 16:29Speaker 5: he is pro medical mutilation. Joe Biden actually allowed the
- 16:33Speaker 5: FBI to infiltrate the Catholic church in Richmond, Virginia, and
- 16:37Speaker 5: then they discovered it wasn't just Richmond. There were many
- 16:41Speaker 5: other Catholic dioceses where they tried to recruit priests to
- 16:46Speaker 5: spy on parishioners who wanted to attend a Latin Mass.
- 16:49Speaker 5: I kid you not, it was the Biden administration that
- 16:54Speaker 5: actually did the guns drawn raids on the homes of
- 16:58Speaker 5: pro lifers. By the way, new information coming out today
- 17:01Speaker 5: from the Justice Department going into great detail about how
- 17:05Speaker 5: the Biden administration intentionally targeted Catholic pro lifers. Not a
- 17:11Speaker 5: word from the Vatican about that, not a word. And
- 17:15Speaker 5: by the way, a couple of weeks ago, a group
- 17:17Speaker 5: of nuns had to file a lawsuit in New York State.
- 17:21Speaker 5: The nuns for years have run this little I mean,
- 17:24Speaker 5: it's basically a hospice unit where people who don't have
- 17:29Speaker 5: a lot of money can go and they can spend
- 17:32Speaker 5: their final days on earth being cared for by the
- 17:36Speaker 5: Catholic nuns. Well, the nuns have policies, and one of
- 17:40Speaker 5: those policies is, you know, you can't have women in
- 17:42Speaker 5: your room, you can't have men in other you know,
- 17:44Speaker 5: the women's rooms, things of that nature. Well, under New
- 17:47Speaker 5: York state law, the nuns must be of the nuns
- 17:52Speaker 5: will be forced to accept transgender people, and the nuns
- 17:56Speaker 5: are having to file a lawsuit. Well, where is the
- 17:59Speaker 5: Vatican on That's so again I stand, and I'm catching
- 18:04Speaker 5: holy you know what from people. Tod Stearns, he hates
- 18:09Speaker 5: the Pope. Tod Stearns, he's anti Catholic. No, Tod Stearns
- 18:14Speaker 5: is not anti Catholic. I don't hate the Pope. I'm
- 18:17Speaker 5: a Southern Baptist, by the way, so I've got no
- 18:20Speaker 5: I've got no skin in that game. But right now
- 18:24Speaker 5: they're accusing me of calling the Pope on Christian, which
- 18:28Speaker 5: is not true. I did not call the Pope non Christian.
- 18:34Speaker 5: I did say that the Pope was behaving in a
- 18:37Speaker 5: non Christian way. Really saddens me. I don't mind people
- 18:42Speaker 5: attacking me, they do that every day. I don't mind.
- 18:45Speaker 5: I just I ask a couple of things. Make sure
- 18:48Speaker 5: you spell my name right and make sure you get
- 18:51Speaker 5: my quotes right. And if you can't. If you can't
- 18:55Speaker 5: do that, then shame on you. And we're going to
- 18:57Speaker 5: call you out on this program. And that's exactly what
- 19:00Speaker 5: we're gonna do when we come back from the break.
- 19:04Speaker 5: But these people, I'm all over read it now. Newsmac's
- 19:06Speaker 5: host Todd Starns, the Unchristian Pope, these people, what would
- 19:14Speaker 5: Jesus do? I think Jesus would call him sorry, so
- 19:16Speaker 5: and so. But that may be a too literal translation
- 19:21Speaker 5: of scripture, but I am ready to start tossing some
- 19:24Speaker 5: folks out of the temple. All right, got to take
- 19:27Speaker 5: a break here. Nine oh one two six zero five
- 19:29Speaker 5: nine two six. This is the Todd Starns Show. All right,
- 19:44Speaker 5: welcome back to the Todd Sterns Radio Show. Great to
- 19:47Speaker 5: have you with us. A lot of news happening up
- 19:49Speaker 5: on Capitol Hill today. Of course, another big story we've
- 19:53Speaker 5: been following, in addition to Eric Swalwell and all of
- 19:56Speaker 5: that nonsense, is the amnesty plan that's being advanced by
- 20:02Speaker 5: at least a last count. I've heard nineteen Republican lawmakers
- 20:07Speaker 5: joining adjoining efforts there. One of the individuals who is
- 20:11Speaker 5: staunchly opposed to amnesty is on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker
- 20:15Speaker 5: line right now. Congressman Brandon Gill from Texas. Congressman, good
- 20:20Speaker 5: to have you with us today.
- 20:21Speaker 10: Hey Todd, thanks for having me on.
- 20:23Speaker 5: You know, Congressman, it's just beyond me that the Republicans
- 20:27Speaker 5: are even attempting to do something like this. Of course,
- 20:31Speaker 5: Congressman Sala's Arm from Florida advancing what quite frankly, a
- 20:35Speaker 5: lot of people say looks and smells just like an
- 20:38Speaker 5: amnesty bill.
- 20:38Speaker 14: What say you, Well, that's because it is an amnesty bill.
- 20:43Speaker 14: In fact, this isn't just an amnesty bill.
- 20:45Speaker 10: It's far worse.
- 20:46Speaker 14: This is a mass migration bill. Remember, this is a
- 20:48Speaker 14: bill that the dignid DoD Act. It's written in a
- 20:52Speaker 14: foreign language because it benefits foreigners and at the expensive
- 20:55Speaker 14: American citizens. But the day it's enacted, twelve million or
- 20:59Speaker 14: so illegal aliens who are in the country right now
- 21:02Speaker 14: and subject to deportation will be given legal status.
- 21:06Speaker 10: Boom amnesty.
- 21:07Speaker 14: On top of that, what it will do is allow
- 21:11Speaker 14: the Department of Homeland Security under Democrat administrations to bring
- 21:15Speaker 14: back into the United States illegal aliens who have already
- 21:18Speaker 14: been deported during the first Trump administration. That is just
- 21:22Speaker 14: added insult. On top of that, it will hamstring the
- 21:26Speaker 14: Trump administration's ability to deport all the other illegal aliens
- 21:30Speaker 14: who are in this country right now, because they basically
- 21:34Speaker 14: an illegal alien can claim that they've been in the
- 21:36Speaker 14: United States for five years or longer.
- 21:39Speaker 10: They don't have documents.
- 21:40Speaker 14: That's why they're called why the left likes to call
- 21:42Speaker 14: them undocumented immigrants, and there's no way to prove otherwise.
- 21:47Speaker 14: That's a problem. This is a bill that is a
- 21:49Speaker 14: Democrat bill. It shouldn't be anywhere near Republican circles, and
- 21:54Speaker 14: yet unfortunately here we are.
- 21:57Speaker 5: It just makes absolutely no sense, and especially as we're
- 22:00Speaker 5: moving towards the midterms, and this is a winning issue
- 22:03Speaker 5: for the Republicans. I mean, when you look at all
- 22:06Speaker 5: of the polling data out there, Congressman, it doesn't matter Democrat, Independent,
- 22:10Speaker 5: and Republican. A majority of the voters want to see
- 22:15Speaker 5: the illegals deported. So again, I don't understand why we're
- 22:19Speaker 5: just blowing all of that up here.
- 22:22Speaker 10: Oh it's totally beyond me.
- 22:25Speaker 14: But let me tell you, this would be the single
- 22:28Speaker 14: biggest betrayal Republicans could possibly conceive of last election cycle.
- 22:34Speaker 14: We were elected on a platform of mass deportations. There
- 22:38Speaker 14: was nothing nuanced or subtle about it. It was if
- 22:41Speaker 14: you're an illegal alien, we want you out of our country.
- 22:44Speaker 14: That's the mandate voters gave us. So to turn around
- 22:47Speaker 14: when voters ask for mass deportations and give them amnesty
- 22:51Speaker 14: would be such a grotesque betrayal. It would make the
- 22:54Speaker 14: GOP unelectable and candidly rightfully, so, we would be dealing
- 22:59Speaker 14: with this, the political fallout of this for a decade
- 23:02Speaker 14: from now. It would be such a massive betrayal. It
- 23:05Speaker 14: would rip our party apart. So I don't see how
- 23:08Speaker 14: anybody who wants to see the Republican Party thrive as
- 23:11Speaker 14: I do see the conservative movement thrive, who could possibly
- 23:16Speaker 14: support this.
- 23:18Speaker 5: No, I'm with you, Congressman, And again, it's a common
- 23:21Speaker 5: sense thing here, and we've got to make sure that
- 23:24Speaker 5: all of the Republicans are on board. But I think
- 23:27Speaker 5: it also illustrates a great example of what the Trump
- 23:30Speaker 5: administration has been dealing with, where in many cases they're
- 23:34Speaker 5: having to fight members of their own party to get
- 23:37Speaker 5: their president's agenda through Congress.
- 23:41Speaker 14: Oh yeah, I mean the fact that we still have
- 23:44Speaker 14: anybody in Congress on the Republican side who support amnesty
- 23:49Speaker 14: after the last election cycle, after what Joe Biden did
- 23:52Speaker 14: to our country is crazy. You know, We've talked about
- 23:55Speaker 14: it for a long time, but Democrats have been massive
- 23:59Speaker 14: supporter of open borders, of no borders whatsoever, because it
- 24:03Speaker 14: is to their political gain. They believe that flooding the
- 24:07Speaker 14: country with illegal aliens, and it does impacts congressional apportionment.
- 24:11Speaker 14: It gives blue states more representation at the expense of
- 24:14Speaker 14: red states. And while these illegal aliens are in here,
- 24:17Speaker 14: by the way, they're probably voting in elections across the
- 24:20Speaker 14: country because give multiple states who don't have voter ID laws.
- 24:24Speaker 14: So this is all part of a massive political plan
- 24:28Speaker 14: to seize power and hold power from the Democrat side.
- 24:33Speaker 14: So for Republicans to play into that in any way
- 24:36Speaker 14: by supporting amnesty is suicidal. Not to mention the fact
- 24:41Speaker 14: that is that this is everything that our voters fought against.
- 24:45Speaker 14: You know, illegal immigration, mass migration has completely transformed the
- 24:50Speaker 14: United States. This is not the same country that my
- 24:53Speaker 14: grandparents grew up in. This is a country whose social
- 24:56Speaker 14: fabric has been torn apart, and it's our job to
- 24:58Speaker 14: fix it.
- 25:00Speaker 5: Congressman, I want to switch gears the situation involving not
- 25:04Speaker 5: only Eric Swalwell but there are some Republicans in the
- 25:07Speaker 5: mix as well. The allegations of wrongdoing, it's just unacceptable,
- 25:13Speaker 5: and especially involving young people. There are a lot of
- 25:16Speaker 5: moms and dads who send their sons and daughters to
- 25:18Speaker 5: serve as high school pages in the halls of Congress.
- 25:22Speaker 5: Many of them, many of the staff of lawmakers are
- 25:26Speaker 5: in their early to mid twenties here, and the idea
- 25:30Speaker 5: that you've got predators walking the halls of Congress, that
- 25:35Speaker 5: is just simply unacceptable. Your reaction to the news that's
- 25:39Speaker 5: come out over the past few.
- 25:40Speaker 10: Days, Yeah, of course it is.
- 25:42Speaker 14: And you know what I find most sort of insulting
- 25:45Speaker 14: and degrading is you have liberal journalists all over Washington,
- 25:49Speaker 14: DC who will say things like, well, you know, we've
- 25:52Speaker 14: known about these rumors or allegations about Eric Swalwell for
- 25:55Speaker 14: a long time.
- 25:56Speaker 10: It's been an open secret in Washington.
- 25:58Speaker 14: I've never heard any of these open secrets, by the way,
- 26:01Speaker 14: but apparently a lot of these left wing journalists have.
- 26:04Speaker 14: And it begs the question, if you knew about this,
- 26:06Speaker 14: why didn't you say anything?
- 26:07Speaker 5: That's right?
- 26:08Speaker 14: If you've heard about allegations that a member of Congress
- 26:11Speaker 14: was sexually molesting his staff members, including potentially some underaged ones.
- 26:17Speaker 10: Why were you not doing anything about it?
- 26:20Speaker 14: But that's kind of the cesspool that that is Washington
- 26:24Speaker 14: d C. I mean, these people need to go. They
- 26:26Speaker 14: should have They should have been kicked out of Congress
- 26:28Speaker 14: a lot sooner. We've got you know, we've got our
- 26:30Speaker 14: own house to clean up here, and we still have
- 26:33Speaker 14: a lot of work to do. But this stuff is
- 26:35Speaker 14: so over the top and so disgusting, and the American
- 26:38Speaker 14: people are sick of it.
- 26:40Speaker 5: Congressman Brandy Gill joining us on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker
- 26:44Speaker 5: line today. Congressman, to that point, I've been calling openly
- 26:48Speaker 5: for the release of this slush fund. What several hundred
- 26:54Speaker 5: cases have been settled to the tune over, think about
- 26:56Speaker 5: seventeen million dollars that we know of. Why is it
- 27:00Speaker 5: that the Republicans will not release that information. They had
- 27:04Speaker 5: an opportunity and they took a pass on it. Why
- 27:07Speaker 5: do you think that is?
- 27:09Speaker 10: You know, I that's a good question.
- 27:12Speaker 14: Everybody that I have talked to about this slush fund
- 27:15Speaker 14: has been fully supportive of releasing all of this information.
- 27:20Speaker 14: I think that, by the way, the slush fund does
- 27:22Speaker 14: not exist anymore. But I think the American people have
- 27:25Speaker 14: a right to know who was utilizing this. I mean,
- 27:29Speaker 14: the idea that you would even have a fund that
- 27:32Speaker 14: is dedicated to defending members of Congress who are sexually
- 27:36Speaker 14: molesting their staff members is really stomach churning.
- 27:40Speaker 10: I mean, it's really sickening.
- 27:41Speaker 14: And the American people do have a right to know
- 27:43Speaker 14: who was representing them in behaving and these kinds of
- 27:47Speaker 14: just egregiously depraved ways.
- 27:49Speaker 5: Congressman, before we let you go, I heard the craziest story,
- 27:52Speaker 5: and I'm from Tennessee originally, so we have a vested
- 27:56Speaker 5: interest in what happens down at the Alamo. They're telling
- 28:01Speaker 5: us this cannot be true, that it's it's a part
- 28:05Speaker 5: of Islamic history. Now, what's going on.
- 28:08Speaker 10: There right care?
- 28:10Speaker 14: The Center for American Islamic Relations and other radical Islamic
- 28:14Speaker 14: groups have been lobbying the Texas Legislature and the Texas
- 28:18Speaker 14: State Board of Education to include all kinds of pro
- 28:21Speaker 14: Islamic revisionist history into Texas's educational standards, and one of
- 28:27Speaker 14: those included this absolutely nonsensical claim that the Alamo is
- 28:33Speaker 14: an example of Islamic architecture. I mean, this is This
- 28:36Speaker 14: is the perfect example by the way of Islamic cultural imperialism.
- 28:41Speaker 14: It's coming to our country, which is not Islamic, does
- 28:44Speaker 14: not have Islam as part of its history, where Islam
- 28:48Speaker 14: is largely alien to American culture, and coming in here
- 28:51Speaker 14: and trying to claim and.
- 28:53Speaker 10: Appropriate our history.
- 28:55Speaker 14: So I sent a letter along with several of my
- 28:58Speaker 14: colleagues here in Washington State Board of Education encouraging them
- 29:02Speaker 14: to reject this kind of revisionist nonsense and pro Islamic idiocy,
- 29:08Speaker 14: which so far they've done. They've they've done a great
- 29:11Speaker 14: job in standing up against these cultural imperialistic Islamists.
- 29:18Speaker 5: Wow, just insane. Congressman. Look, we always appreciate you hopping
- 29:23Speaker 5: on the show, and we really appreciate the great work
- 29:26Speaker 5: you're doing up on Capitol Hill. Good to see you.
- 29:29Speaker 10: Thanks for having me.
- 29:31Speaker 5: All right, Congressman Brandon Gille, everybody, one of the good
- 29:33Speaker 5: guys up in Congress in the House of Representatives. Yeah,
- 29:38Speaker 5: this is this is absolutely bonkers crazy, But they, the Muslims,
- 29:43Speaker 5: actually want you to think and believe that the Alamo
- 29:46Speaker 5: is really a story about Islam. All Right, We've got
- 29:50Speaker 5: to take a break here. Opening up the phone lines
- 29:52Speaker 5: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 29:55Speaker 5: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

- 31:44Speaker 15: Yes, we do. It only makes sense that Ian goes Ian.

- 32:28Speaker 16: I hope So it would be a bad idea on
- 32:30Speaker 16: their part, but I would love it. I think they're
- 32:34Speaker 16: gonna let me go inside. I think they're gonna let
- 32:35Speaker 16: me have a full tour of the Wiener.
- 32:41Speaker 5: I hear it's much larger. I mean in person. You know,
- 32:44Speaker 5: you see it and you don't realize how big that
- 32:46Speaker 5: Wien rows until you're like.
- 32:47Speaker 15: Right there, and scale is a lot Yeah different.
- 32:50Speaker 5: It's true, It's true. So this is like it's like
- 32:53Speaker 5: a winn a Bago style. I mean you can fit
- 32:56Speaker 5: a number of people inside the Wiener.
- 32:58Speaker 16: Oh yeah, I think it's got like six.
- 33:00Speaker 5: To eight seats. Wo wow, that's huge. Long you know,
- 33:04Speaker 5: this is like one of those I mean one of
- 33:07Speaker 5: those bucket list things. Ian it is.
- 33:10Speaker 16: Yeah, I've actually always wanted to go see the wienermobile.
- 33:14Speaker 16: Strange story.
- 33:15Speaker 5: I'm getting misty. We're helping Yeah, we're helping him accomplish
- 33:19Speaker 5: you know, my lifelong.
- 33:20Speaker 15: Dream starting to sound like a make a witch.
- 33:25Speaker 5: You know a lot of people around America want to
- 33:27Speaker 5: ride a Wiener. They cannot do it unless you come
- 33:30Speaker 5: to Memphis, Tennessee.
- 33:33Speaker 10: You didn't do this.
- 33:35Speaker 5: We just got put on so many church prayer lists.
- 33:38Speaker 15: We had to know that the jokes were going to
- 33:40Speaker 15: be there, right, I mean the whole vehicle. Yes, Oh yeah, yeah,
- 33:44Speaker 15: it's inevitable.
- 33:45Speaker 5: Well exactly, And I know Ben Deeter back in the day,
- 33:48Speaker 5: we were literally finishing a road race and had to
- 33:52Speaker 5: stop by Kroger and there was the Wienermobile.
- 33:55Speaker 15: It was a static. It's one of those things that
- 33:59Speaker 15: you have to oc when it comes to your town.
- 34:02Speaker 15: And uh, yeah, I'm very excited for Ian because this
- 34:05Speaker 15: is is like initiation to the company.
- 34:07Speaker 5: You might you know, you might want to bring a jacket.
- 34:10Speaker 5: It might get chili in the Wienermobile.
- 34:14Speaker 15: He would we all have one.
- 34:15Speaker 5: It's a little cheesy.
- 34:18Speaker 16: I can't wait to meet all the stuff there. I'm
- 34:20Speaker 16: very excited.
- 34:21Speaker 5: This is gonna be cool. I just want to know
- 34:23Speaker 5: who is it. I mean, what qualifications do you have
- 34:25Speaker 5: to have to drive the Wiener Mobile.
- 34:28Speaker 15: That's got to be very special. It's like, uh, it's
- 34:31Speaker 15: like being forklift like certified. It's one of the Sorry
- 34:36Speaker 15: what now he's certified. No, that's he's not certified. He's certifiable,
- 34:41Speaker 15: but he's not certified. Jesus whoever came up with that idea?
- 34:48Speaker 15: What a brilliant what a brilliant marketing marketing genius. Absolutely
- 34:51Speaker 15: he was Oscar Oscar Meyer Oscar himself.
- 34:54Speaker 5: Oh that's true. You know, I wonder if they're going
- 34:56Speaker 5: to give you any swag.
- 34:58Speaker 16: I hope so and I would wear with pride if
- 35:00Speaker 16: they give me like an Oscar Meyer hat Well said, I.
- 35:05Speaker 15: Think the prize is the drive. Maybe it's like they
- 35:08Speaker 15: give you. They give you a chance to drive the
- 35:10Speaker 15: Wiener down the road.
- 35:13Speaker 5: You don't want to take a wrong turn in the
- 35:14Speaker 5: Wiener Mobile. Yeah yeah, and don't never back up. You
- 35:19Speaker 5: don't want to be you don't want to be. I
- 35:23Speaker 5: just can't.
- 35:24Speaker 16: I can't.
- 35:25Speaker 15: You think it has like one of those beepers when
- 35:27Speaker 15: it backs up.
- 35:28Speaker 16: It probably does.
- 35:29Speaker 5: That would be like a little flashing light.
- 35:31Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, we're not We're too old to be joking about.
- 35:36Speaker 5: This is ridiculous line, but I will say it really
- 35:39Speaker 5: is a cool thing to see up up close and personal.
- 35:41Speaker 5: So we're gonna we're gonna bring this to you live.
- 35:44Speaker 5: This is what happening. What Thursday?
- 35:46Speaker 16: Yeah, Thursday?

- 35:53Speaker 16: I think I just show up. They send us a
- 35:54Speaker 16: very corny email with a bunch of hot dog related jokes,
- 35:59Speaker 16: which I thought it was very funny. But it seems
- 36:01Speaker 16: like we just show up in the lettucet it.
- 36:03Speaker 5: I know Helen You and Helen Dylan were coming up
- 36:05Speaker 5: with like a whole list of puns.
- 36:08Speaker 15: We were it's all to prepare ian to interview the workers,
- 36:12Speaker 15: and we may embarrass them on the air, but you know,
- 36:15Speaker 15: it is what it is. You kind of have to
- 36:16Speaker 15: do it.
- 36:17Speaker 5: So years ago, back when this show was broadcast from
- 36:20Speaker 5: Fox headquarters, we had an intern and we sent him
- 36:24Speaker 5: out the Frenches mustard people. They had a mustard truck
- 36:29Speaker 5: in New York City and they were giving away free
- 36:32Speaker 5: mustard ice cream and we made our intern actually eat
- 36:38Speaker 5: the mustard ice cream on the air. So we're not
- 36:40Speaker 5: going to make you do that, Thank goodness. I do
- 36:43Speaker 5: wonder if oh it was and it you know, here's
- 36:46Speaker 5: the thing. It tasted like mustard. That's the only thing
- 36:52Speaker 5: you could taste frozen mustard. It was disgusting.
- 36:55Speaker 15: I would probably enjoy Catchup truck if they had one
- 36:58Speaker 15: out there. I enjoy the ketchup chips that you are available.
- 37:02Speaker 5: You can take a dip, yeah, put.
- 37:03Speaker 15: But a hot dog I'm thinking of like hot dog
- 37:05Speaker 15: chips or like hot dog things. I can't really well.
- 37:08Speaker 5: Some people like to do that, like to dip their
- 37:09Speaker 5: wiener in Catchup.
- 37:11Speaker 15: It's a good condiment.
- 37:12Speaker 5: It's well, it's important if you're going to the Oscar
- 37:16Speaker 5: myri Wienamobile. You must have condiments. Yeah, that's that's that's necessary.
- 37:20Speaker 15: Can't just hot No, that's yeah.

- 39:52Speaker 5: phone lines who wants to weigh in on a bit
- 39:55Speaker 5: of excitement that we shared with you in the last
- 39:58Speaker 5: hour of the show. The Oscar Meyer Wiener Mobile is
- 40:02Speaker 5: coming to Memphis, Tennessee, and we're very excited about that, Dylan,
- 40:06Speaker 5: It's coming it's going to be the super Low parking
- 40:09Speaker 5: lot just maybe less than a mile from our broadcast bunker.
- 40:13Speaker 15: It's a good store to pick if you're going to
- 40:15Speaker 15: be in front of one.
- 40:16Speaker 5: Yes, so you can't miss it. It's basically a giant
- 40:20Speaker 5: Wiener tucked in a bun.
- 40:22Speaker 15: And it's colorized too. It's it's got the color of
- 40:25Speaker 15: the bun and the win.
- 40:26Speaker 5: Looks just like not like a red hot. Right, those
- 40:29Speaker 5: are different. This is your or of a pale pepto
- 40:32Speaker 5: bismal pink Wiener if.
- 40:34Speaker 15: You willpto bismall Wiener is terrible.
- 40:37Speaker 5: That's a bad description. My apologies. Let's go to Steve
- 40:41Speaker 5: in Greensboro, North Carolina, listening to us on ws JS,
- 40:46Speaker 5: our great affiliate there, Steve, I understand you have a suggestion.
- 40:53Speaker 17: Yes, thank you for taking my call. I think that,
- 40:57Speaker 17: in the spirit of inclusiveness, that I, if you're given
- 41:03Speaker 17: the opportunity to drive the Wienermobile, should take a turn
- 41:07Speaker 17: through the local monosque. Maybe he could even stop and
- 41:10Speaker 17: ask him, hi, mom, if he has some great coupon.
- 41:15Speaker 5: So you're so, let me get this right. You're suggesting
- 41:18Speaker 5: that Ian, if he is afforded the opportunity. Drive to
- 41:22Speaker 5: a mosque, roll down the window of the Wiener Mobile
- 41:25Speaker 5: and ask the mom if they've got any great poopon. Yes, absolutely, yeah,
- 41:32Speaker 5: only if it's an all beef Wiener. I think that's
- 41:34Speaker 5: the problem. I mean, if it's a pork, if it's
- 41:37Speaker 5: chicken and pork Wiener, well, you know there could be
- 41:39Speaker 5: some halual issues. Jez A loo oh boy. All right, Ian,
- 41:50Speaker 5: or rather Steve, thank you for that great We're gonna
- 41:52Speaker 5: pass it along, that great advice. We're gonna pass it
- 41:55Speaker 5: along to Ian and we'll we'll see if they'll let us,
- 41:59Speaker 5: if they'll let us take take a turn or two
- 42:02Speaker 5: in the in the Wienermobile. You know what would be
- 42:05Speaker 5: fun though, tell him at Memphis, where the speed limit
- 42:08Speaker 5: on the internstate is one hundred and twenty miles an hour,
- 42:10Speaker 5: is to see how how fast that Wiener can.
- 42:13Speaker 15: Go pedal to the metal on that thing. It's probably
- 42:17Speaker 15: set at a certain limit, right.
- 42:19Speaker 5: It's gotta be, It's gotta be.
- 42:21Speaker 15: It is huge. It's like a semi truck.
- 42:23Speaker 5: It is a You don't realize how big it is
- 42:25Speaker 5: until you're like right up and you know you're like,
- 42:27Speaker 5: sweet mercy, Yeah, this is a large vehicle.
- 42:29Speaker 15: Now I'm trying to think does he even have his license? Like,
- 42:32Speaker 15: can we even can we even get him on this thing?
- 42:34Speaker 5: He does have a license, he's he drives.
- 42:37Speaker 15: The young guy. Yeah, he does drive, now that I
- 42:40Speaker 15: think about it, he is at work? Does like to drive?
- 42:42Speaker 5: To rent a car, you've got to be what twenty
- 42:44Speaker 5: four to twenty five years old? So that could be
- 42:46Speaker 5: problematic problems here. Yeah, maybe some insurance.
- 42:49Speaker 15: You have to steal the thing.
- 42:51Speaker 5: We're not promoting it, no, But again, I'm not sure
- 42:54Speaker 5: you want to take that out on the I mean,
- 42:56Speaker 5: do they actually put it out there on the roadway?
- 42:58Speaker 5: Is it a free range Wiener?
- 43:00Speaker 15: Is that they have to get it here somehow?
- 43:02Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, yeah, I guess so. I just
- 43:04Speaker 5: I haven't ever seen one of them out like in
- 43:07Speaker 5: the you know, in the wild.
- 43:11Speaker 15: How many miles is on the wienomobile?
- 43:13Speaker 5: How many miles is on this bit that we're doing.
- 43:15Speaker 5: That's what I wanted. I think we're yeah all that
- 43:18Speaker 5: to say, I mean, get that thing up to one
- 43:20Speaker 5: hundred and twenty miles an hour on I two forty.
- 43:24Speaker 5: You don't want to be an a fender bender with
- 43:25Speaker 5: a Wiener I'm just telling you all right, nine oh
- 43:29Speaker 5: one two six zero five two six is our telephone number.
- 43:33Speaker 5: Speaking of wieners, can we talk about zoorod Man Domi
- 43:38Speaker 5: and his grocery stores, which is where you buy wieners.
- 43:41Speaker 5: So this was a big part of his campaign was
- 43:46Speaker 5: to create these these government run grocery stores because apparently
- 43:53Speaker 5: the regular, the private ownership grocery stores, we're not meeting needs.
- 43:57Speaker 5: And one of the big problems is they have what
- 43:59Speaker 5: they call the food deserts. And one of the reasons
- 44:02Speaker 5: why there are food deserts is because they well they've
- 44:05Speaker 5: had grocery stores that have tried to set up business
- 44:08Speaker 5: in those communities and yet the stealing, the shoplifting, the danger,
- 44:15Speaker 5: it was just too much. And so we've seen this
- 44:19Speaker 5: a lot in the Memphis area where well meaning organizations
- 44:23Speaker 5: like Kroger, for example, will go into a desolate part
- 44:27Speaker 5: of the community and they'll put in a grocery store.
- 44:30Speaker 5: The next thing you know, they're rob blind and I
- 44:34Speaker 5: know the activist you know, scream racism and everything, but
- 44:37Speaker 5: the reality is they've got to be able to pay
- 44:39Speaker 5: their bills, and you can't do that if people are
- 44:42Speaker 5: stealing cum quats. You just can't do that. So anyway, ma'am,
- 44:46Speaker 5: Dommy has just announced the first the first grocery store
- 44:53Speaker 5: run by the government now doing on average, if you're
- 44:59Speaker 5: going to build a state of the art, palatial grocery
- 45:02Speaker 5: store in New York City, it's going to cost you
- 45:07Speaker 5: about fifteen million dollars to build. I mean, that is
- 45:09Speaker 5: like state of the art, standard size, twenty five thousand
- 45:14Speaker 5: square foot grocery store. All right, So that's I mean,
- 45:18Speaker 5: that's a lot of money, but that's still I mean,
- 45:20Speaker 5: you're talking about New York City, so that's still a
- 45:22Speaker 5: pretty good a pretty good deal. Guess how much the
- 45:25Speaker 5: first grocery store run by the government's going to cost
- 45:29Speaker 5: to build. Fifteen not fifteen million dollars, dose or not fifteen,
- 45:34Speaker 5: not even twenty million dollars. Thirty million dollars. That's how
- 45:40Speaker 5: much is going to cost to build the first taxpayer
- 45:43Speaker 5: funded grocery store in New York City. I do not
- 45:47Speaker 5: I don't see this ending well for the good people
- 45:50Speaker 5: of the Big Apple. I really don't. As a matter
- 45:53Speaker 5: of fact, there was a story. Fox News has a
- 45:56Speaker 5: story about the grocery store initiative and how it's going
- 46:01Speaker 5: so far, take a listener.
- 46:02Speaker 18: This first store is going to cost thirty million dollars.
- 46:06Speaker 18: That's nearly half of the seventy million dollar budget that
- 46:09Speaker 18: Mayor Mamdani has proposed for all five city run grocery stores.
- 46:13Speaker 18: He announced this first one last night at his one
- 46:15Speaker 18: hundred first day celebration.
- 46:17Speaker 2: The store is going to be located in East.
- 46:18Speaker 18: Harlem in La Marketa, and the plan is for it
- 46:21Speaker 18: to be open next year.
- 46:23Speaker 19: We are building a brand new store on city owned
- 46:26Speaker 19: land currently sitting empty in East Harlem, a neighborhood where
- 46:33Speaker 19: nearly forty percent of households receive public assistance or SNAP
- 46:37Speaker 19: in the past year.
- 46:39Speaker 18: Because it's on city owned land, they will not have
- 46:41Speaker 18: to pay rent on the property. Mamdani pointed out that
- 46:44Speaker 18: grocery prices in the city have increased since the pandemic,
- 46:47Speaker 18: but he failed to point out how city run grocers
- 46:50Speaker 18: in other cities have failed to actually help residents. Similar
- 46:53Speaker 18: efforts in places like Kansas City have struggled to stay
- 46:56Speaker 18: afloat despite millions in taxpay dollars. Sun Fresh Market permanently
- 47:01Speaker 18: closed this August after suffering from high crime, empty shelves,
- 47:06Speaker 18: and unsustainable losses. So despite over seventeen million dollars in
- 47:10Speaker 18: taxpayer investments since twenty sixteen, the project failed to provide
- 47:14Speaker 18: a stable food source. But it's full steam ahead for
- 47:17Speaker 18: city owned grocery stores here in the Big Apple. Mom
- 47:20Speaker 18: Donnie promised on the campaign trail the grocery stores will
- 47:23Speaker 18: be available in each burrow. He says that will be
- 47:26Speaker 18: accomplished by the end of his term.
- 47:28Speaker 5: All right, so a couple of things here. First of all,
- 47:31Speaker 5: the entire budgets are right around seventy million for five
- 47:33Speaker 5: grocery stores, but they've already used up half of it
- 47:37Speaker 5: for just one grocery store. And then it turns out
- 47:40Speaker 5: there are actually grocery stores privately owned in the neighborhood,
- 47:44Speaker 5: and they're freaking out because they're afraid they may have
- 47:47Speaker 5: to shut down because they won't be able to compete
- 47:49Speaker 5: with the government and the government store is going to
- 47:53Speaker 5: be selling things much cheaper. So this is not the
- 47:58Speaker 5: first time they've tried to do something like this. In America.
- 48:01Speaker 5: They try to do the Soviet Union and pretty much
- 48:03Speaker 5: the entire country starved to death. But in Kansas City
- 48:07Speaker 5: they recently open up a government run grocery store where
- 48:11Speaker 5: right now if you walk in, it smells of rotten
- 48:14Speaker 5: produce and empty shelves, and by the way, whatever is left,
- 48:19Speaker 5: they're walking out with their stealing. Take a listen.
- 48:22Speaker 20: It's clear this Sunfresh at thirty first in Prospect is struggling.
- 48:26Speaker 20: This is the first section people see when they come in.
- 48:28Speaker 2: There's barely any produce.
- 48:30Speaker 20: A lot of the coolers and shelves around the store
- 48:32Speaker 20: look the same way empty. So shoppers have been asking
- 48:35Speaker 20: us if the store isn't closing, then where's all the food.
- 48:39Speaker 20: A rotten smell comes through the door, and anywhere you
- 48:42Speaker 20: turn you'll see products that need to be restocked.
- 48:45Speaker 2: No hot food or deli.
- 48:47Speaker 21: No.
- 48:47Speaker 2: I'll watch people walk in and walk out.
- 48:51Speaker 15: The grocery store has received financial assistance from the city,
- 48:54Speaker 15: but has been unable to keep those shelves stocked in
- 48:57Speaker 15: an area that in the past has often been referred
- 48:59Speaker 15: to as a food.
- 49:00Speaker 2: Desert around here. A good thing don't last too long.
- 49:05Speaker 22: It would impact a lot of people, a lot of families.
- 49:08Speaker 20: The city owns the Loomwood Shopping Center, a nonprofit operates
- 49:12Speaker 20: the grocery store.
- 49:14Speaker 5: By the way, they tried to open up a government
- 49:16Speaker 5: run grocery store in Chicago, and that effort has now failed.
- 49:22Speaker 5: So there you go again, seventy million dollars in capital
- 49:27Speaker 5: funding and they've already used up half of it, over
- 49:30Speaker 5: half of it, just to build one grocery store. I mean,
- 49:35Speaker 5: this is a great example of you get what you
- 49:38Speaker 5: vote for, ladies and gentlemen. And by the way, they're
- 49:42Speaker 5: now saying the cost to operate the stores annually could
- 49:46Speaker 5: exceed one hundred million dollars a year because of union
- 49:51Speaker 5: labor rates. So I'm hoping everybody is paying attention to
- 49:56Speaker 5: what's going on in New York City because this is
- 49:59Speaker 5: shaping up to be an epic disaster. All Right, We've
- 50:02Speaker 5: got to take a break here. Nine oh one two
- 50:05Speaker 5: six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one
- 50:08Speaker 5: two six zero five nine two six. CBS News reporting
- 50:12Speaker 5: that Catholics are getting ready to abandon Donald Trump? Is
- 50:16Speaker 5: that true? Has Donald Trump lost your support over the
- 50:21Speaker 5: meme he shared just the other day? We'll be right back,
- 50:35Speaker 5: all right, Welcome back to the Toime Sterns radio show. Nolan,
- 50:39Speaker 5: what were you doing when you were fourteen years old?
- 50:43Speaker 15: I was probably a sophomore in high school, just trying
- 50:45Speaker 15: to learn my math.
- 50:47Speaker 5: And that's pretty much. Did you play ball? Did you?
- 50:50Speaker 15: I played baseball and I was in the band.
- 50:52Speaker 5: Okay, all right. Dean Roy is fourteen years old. He's
- 50:55Speaker 5: a freshman. He goes to school in Vermont high school kid,
- 51:00Speaker 5: and he likes politics. So it turns out that in
- 51:05Speaker 5: Vermont there's no age limit to be governor, so if
- 51:09Speaker 5: you run and run for office, it doesn't matter how
- 51:11Speaker 5: old you are, you can run for office. So this
- 51:13Speaker 5: kid decided to create a political party and he ended
- 51:18Speaker 5: up running for governor and he actually made the cut.
- 51:22Speaker 5: So he is going to be This fourteen year old
- 51:24Speaker 5: is going to be on the ballot in Vermont.
- 51:28Speaker 10: Oh.
- 51:28Speaker 15: He really likes politics.
- 51:30Speaker 5: He loves it. Anyway, had Dean Roy is his name,
- 51:34Speaker 5: and we had to we we wanted him on the
- 51:36Speaker 5: radio show, but he's in class and so so we
- 51:39Speaker 5: caught him up. We caught up with him on Newsmax
- 51:42Speaker 5: after school. He also has a part time job at
- 51:44Speaker 5: a pizza joint.
- 51:45Speaker 23: Uh.
- 51:45Speaker 5: Here's our conversation with Dean. I'm just curious, what's the
- 51:49Speaker 5: scuttle butt around school knowing that you very well could
- 51:53Speaker 5: be the next well governor of the state.
- 51:56Speaker 21: I mean, I think most people at my school supportive
- 52:00Speaker 21: of this. I think most people are kind of shocked
- 52:06Speaker 21: in a way about everything that's going on with all
- 52:10Speaker 21: of my campaign, But I think that they'd expect that
- 52:14Speaker 21: I was going to be a political person, and they
- 52:17Speaker 21: expect that I'm going to do something in the state
- 52:20Speaker 21: of Vermont.
- 52:20Speaker 2: So I think in a way, maybe.
- 52:22Speaker 21: They might have expected it add of me. I think
- 52:25Speaker 21: everyone's really been very, very supportive of me. They've all
- 52:28Speaker 21: really enjoyed my videos and helped me out when I
- 52:31Speaker 21: need it. But I think just in general, they might
- 52:34Speaker 21: have been a bit shocked, but they're also still stayed
- 52:37Speaker 21: by me, and I hope they stay keeping it up
- 52:40Speaker 21: and keep supporting me.
- 52:42Speaker 2: I'm curious what inspired you to run for office?
- 52:46Speaker 21: What really inspired me was this program known as a
- 52:49Speaker 21: Page program, that is a program in eighth grade when
- 52:53Speaker 21: you essentially intern at the state.
- 52:55Speaker 2: Capitol down in Montpelier.
- 52:57Speaker 21: And that really got me to learn more about the
- 53:01Speaker 21: political systems of Vermont, and that really got me to
- 53:04Speaker 21: see a lot of the action that occurs in Vermont politics.
- 53:09Speaker 21: I got to meet a lot of Vermont politicians, I
- 53:12Speaker 21: got to see a lot of the systems in play,
- 53:14Speaker 21: and that's really what inspired me. I saw it all
- 53:17Speaker 21: in action, and then I decided, you know what, I
- 53:20Speaker 21: can do this, I should do this, and from there
- 53:24Speaker 21: I've just been beginning campaigning and going ahead trying to
- 53:28Speaker 21: be Vermont's next governor.
- 53:29Speaker 5: All right, so you're running as a centrist. I'm curious
- 53:32Speaker 5: what does that mean to you and what would you
- 53:34Speaker 5: say is the top agenda item on your campaign?
- 53:38Speaker 21: Yes, really, my centrism is about political independence, being away
- 53:47Speaker 21: from the major conservative or liberal political camps and going
- 53:51Speaker 21: my own route in politics. And really my main issue
- 53:55Speaker 21: that I'm focusing on is housing in Vermont. We have
- 54:00Speaker 21: about five hundred people leaving our state each year, meaning
- 54:03Speaker 21: we are a dying state. We're losing population and that
- 54:06Speaker 21: has very big That results in very big issues for
- 54:10Speaker 21: our state, from taxes to the cost of live in
- 54:15Speaker 21: and really one way to fix that is to deregulate
- 54:18Speaker 21: in our housing sector. We have this very general act
- 54:22Speaker 21: known as Act to fifty, which I am against personally.
- 54:26Speaker 21: I think that it goes too far with regulation. And
- 54:28Speaker 21: another way to fix a lot of the housing issues
- 54:30Speaker 21: in our state is to raise taxes on short term rentals,
- 54:34Speaker 21: which would hopefully encourage them to sell the house, freeing
- 54:38Speaker 21: up space in the market, and it would come up
- 54:40Speaker 21: with the benefit of raising more money for the state
- 54:42Speaker 21: of Vermont.
- 54:43Speaker 5: All right, I'm curious how the parents responded when you said, Mom, dad,
- 54:47Speaker 5: I want to run for president. They're like, what of
- 54:49Speaker 5: the student council or you know, No, I want to
- 54:51Speaker 5: be governor. I want to be governor of the state
- 54:53Speaker 5: of Vermont. How did they respond to that.
- 54:55Speaker 21: I think my parents know that I'm a political person,
- 54:58Speaker 21: so I think that they might not have exactly been
- 55:01Speaker 21: totally shocked, but it's obviously surprising. You don't expect to
- 55:04Speaker 21: hear a fourteen year old running for governor. But my
- 55:07Speaker 21: parents have been very very supportive of me. Obviously they've
- 55:11Speaker 21: been the ones driving me to all the campaign events,
- 55:14Speaker 21: but they've also been helping me out with other things.
- 55:17Speaker 21: They'll help with encouraging me to maybe double check spelling
- 55:22Speaker 21: on a script. They'll help me with recording certain things
- 55:26Speaker 21: or setting up certain interviews. So I think they might
- 55:30Speaker 21: have been shocked at first, and they might have been
- 55:31Speaker 21: really surprised that I was doing this, but they've still
- 55:35Speaker 21: been very very supportive of me, and probably the best
- 55:39Speaker 21: really supporters that I've had.
- 55:40Speaker 2: All Right, real quick here, Deane. I don't want to
- 55:42Speaker 2: put you on the spot. Let's just say you seem
- 55:44Speaker 2: like a great kid.
- 55:45Speaker 5: But let's say maybe you get grounded and you're governor
- 55:48Speaker 5: and you got to be, you know, at the State
- 55:50Speaker 5: House that night for a big address.
- 55:52Speaker 2: What do you do?
- 55:53Speaker 3: Do you do?
- 55:54Speaker 2: You ascend in the state police? How do you handle that?
- 55:58Speaker 21: Luckily enough, there is a apartment that is in multilated
- 56:02Speaker 21: that the governor stays at, So I think that would
- 56:05Speaker 21: get along that get behind that issue altogether.
- 56:11Speaker 5: All Right, there you have it, Dean Roy running for
- 56:14Speaker 5: governor uh in verbot. He makes he makes more sense
- 56:19Speaker 5: and a lot of grown ups do to be honest
- 56:21Speaker 5: with your folks. All right, gotta take a break here.
- 56:23Speaker 5: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 56:26Speaker 5: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
- 56:30Speaker 5: This is the Todd Stearns Show. All right, welcome back, everybody.
- 56:53Speaker 5: This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Great to have
- 56:56Speaker 5: you with us. Oh, by the way, you know, we
- 57:00Speaker 5: need to bring Josh Jones right away into the conversation.
- 57:04Speaker 5: Josh Jones are great Republican strategists from Washington, d C.
- 57:08Speaker 5: Josh Hope you're doing well.
- 57:10Speaker 15: I'm good Todd, you know, and good.
- 57:12Speaker 5: By the way, have you done the big cherry blossoms?
- 57:14Speaker 10: You know?
- 57:15Speaker 5: I think that's like a big thing there in our
- 57:16Speaker 5: nation's capital.
- 57:18Speaker 24: It is last for two weeks in the whole title
- 57:21Speaker 24: based area, so it's basically along the Potomac.
- 57:23Speaker 2: It's super super busy.
- 57:25Speaker 24: So I went like the very last day of it
- 57:27Speaker 24: because by the end most tourist I came and saw it.
- 57:29Speaker 24: But yeah, it's a whole day in DC for like
- 57:31Speaker 24: two weeks.
- 57:32Speaker 5: Okay, so you guys said the cherry blossom Festival, Josh.
- 57:37Speaker 5: Here in Memphis, we've got the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile which
- 57:39Speaker 5: is coming into town, and we're very excited about it,
- 57:43Speaker 5: and Dylan, we're getting like people are offering Ian the
- 57:47Speaker 5: intern suggestions here, Janis says, the kids on the Wienermobile
- 57:52Speaker 5: are the happiest around. They know how to have a
- 57:54Speaker 5: great gig for the year. Ian can get a whistle
- 57:58Speaker 5: for a souvenir.
- 57:59Speaker 15: I forgot about the whistle. He does have to bring one.
- 58:01Speaker 5: Back for it. It's not shaped like a Wiener, is it.
- 58:04Speaker 15: I don't think so. I think it's just a normal whistle.
- 58:06Speaker 5: But okay, Yeah, you don't want to blow a Wiener
- 58:08Speaker 5: Wiener whistle. That's weird. Let's see here also, Josh, just
- 58:13Speaker 5: feel free to weigh in here if you want to
- 58:15Speaker 5: opine on wieners. Uh. Someone said we took a picture
- 58:19Speaker 5: of our Wiener dog in front of the Wiener mobile.
- 58:25Speaker 24: I can't say I've seen a photo or what is it?
- 58:28Speaker 15: What is this car? Is a bus?
- 58:30Speaker 5: Or I'm sorry, wait what you've never seen the Oscar
- 58:34Speaker 5: Meyer Wiener mobile.
- 58:37Speaker 24: I don't think so.
- 58:38Speaker 5: No, Josh, you would talk.
- 58:41Speaker 24: I'll take it as a homework assign.
- 58:43Speaker 5: Now you're a Liberty University grad. You're telling me the
- 58:45Speaker 5: Wiener mobile never like plowed right through the middle of campus, not.
- 58:49Speaker 2: That I remember.
- 58:50Speaker 10: No over here here.
- 58:52Speaker 24: I'll tell you why. That'll be my homework project and
- 58:54Speaker 24: I'll go do my researcher.
- 58:56Speaker 5: Report back, Google Oscar Meyer Wiener mobile and you'll be
- 59:00Speaker 5: good to go. Wow, poor Josh, he had no idea
- 59:04Speaker 5: what we were talking about. He thought these people are
- 59:06Speaker 5: very strange, All right, Jesus, Look all right, Uh, Josh,
- 59:12Speaker 5: let's let's talk politics. And there's a lot going on
- 59:16Speaker 5: right now. There is chaos up on Capitol Hill. Eric
- 59:19Speaker 5: Swallow and that swallow Swallwell, my apologies. That is his nickname,
- 59:26Speaker 5: by the way, according to Joe Messina, uh, that is
- 59:29Speaker 5: Eric Swalwell's nickname back in California. But Swalwell is out,
- 59:35Speaker 5: Tony Gonzalez is out on the Republican side, you know, Josh,
- 59:39Speaker 5: he just seems to me, if you are going to
- 59:41Speaker 5: be targeting and if you're if you're a predator, you've
- 59:44Speaker 5: got no business being anywhere near Capitol Hill.
- 59:49Speaker 15: Yeah, it's a pretty low bar. I mean they put
- 59:51Speaker 15: it lightly.
- 59:52Speaker 24: I mean some of these people, you know, uh Sallwell,
- 59:55Speaker 24: Tony Gonzalez, I mean, like, and let's be clear, they're
- 59:58Speaker 24: not the only ones. It's not as if I know,
- 1:00:00Speaker 24: but like you know, if there's a few bad apples,
- 1:00:03Speaker 24: there's probably some more. It's absolutely discussing that these tip
- 1:00:07Speaker 24: would be born in Congress. So glad they're resigning. Glad
- 1:00:10Speaker 24: they're getting out of Congress. And I don't know if
- 1:00:12Speaker 24: you saw, or you know, maybe your viewers saw. TMZ
- 1:00:15Speaker 24: actually launched a DC Bureau this past week where they're
- 1:00:18Speaker 24: going to start reporting more so the drama side of politics,
- 1:00:21Speaker 24: which at first I was like, Okay, I don't really
- 1:00:23Speaker 24: know if this is needed, but on this kind of
- 1:00:25Speaker 24: stuff and the reporting on this, absolutely.
- 1:00:27Speaker 5: Yeah, I have no doubt. I have no doubt that
- 1:00:30Speaker 5: TMZ has put the fear of God and a lot
- 1:00:33Speaker 5: of these lawmakers up there, and some of the stories
- 1:00:35Speaker 5: we've been hearing are just just horrifying. But again, it's
- 1:00:41Speaker 5: not all that surprising. This has been going all this
- 1:00:43Speaker 5: has been going on for generations, going back to JFK,
- 1:00:47Speaker 5: who used to secretly bring women into the Oval Office
- 1:00:51Speaker 5: or at least the White House for crying out loud.
- 1:00:54Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean you, JFK.
- 1:00:56Speaker 24: Also, you have the famous Bill Clinton's story, and there's
- 1:00:59Speaker 24: been many of other members of Congress who have had
- 1:01:02Speaker 24: similar I was gonna say issues, but mental health problems. Frankly,
- 1:01:08Speaker 24: So I've got TMZ and you know, other people obviously
- 1:01:11Speaker 24: are holding the accountable. And look, that doesn't mean all
- 1:01:14Speaker 24: all members of Congress are bad. There's just some bad
- 1:01:16Speaker 24: apples up there that need to be get out of office.
- 1:01:19Speaker 5: No fair enough, fair enough, Josh Jones joining us on
- 1:01:23Speaker 5: our Patriot Mobile use maker line. Josh, there's a big story,
- 1:01:26Speaker 5: I believe in NBC and CBS doing stories about Trump
- 1:01:30Speaker 5: possibly losing support among Catholic voters after what he said
- 1:01:35Speaker 5: about the Pope. My take on it is this, the
- 1:01:37Speaker 5: Pope started it. And if you're gonna jump into politics,
- 1:01:40Speaker 5: you know what, you got to bring your big boy pants,
- 1:01:42Speaker 5: got to put them on.
- 1:01:44Speaker 24: Yeah, I mean, jumping into the public arena, especially politically,
- 1:01:48Speaker 24: you open yourself up the criticism and that can come
- 1:01:50Speaker 24: from a world leader or some random person on Twitter.
- 1:01:53Speaker 24: So it comes with the territory. You know that this
- 1:01:56Speaker 24: is the fact that Catholic vote once we get the November.
- 1:01:59Speaker 15: I don't think so.
- 1:02:00Speaker 24: I mean, I'm not personally Catholic, so I'm not you know, uh,
- 1:02:03Speaker 24: personally attesting that. I don't think it has a big effect.
- 1:02:05Speaker 24: If I were Trump though in the administration, would I
- 1:02:07Speaker 24: be picking a fight with the Vatican?
- 1:02:09Speaker 10: Probably not.
- 1:02:10Speaker 24: But you know that's just my two cents.
- 1:02:12Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 1:02:12Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, I think do we have
- 1:02:14Speaker 5: that audio of Speaker Mike Johnson just a little while ago,
- 1:02:17Speaker 5: was asked about about all of this. Let's let's take
- 1:02:20Speaker 5: a listen to the speaker.
- 1:02:22Speaker 14: Speaker Johnson, can I ask.
- 1:02:23Speaker 9: You about the President's posting.
- 1:02:26Speaker 8: Himself as Jesus was a pross for me.
- 1:02:29Speaker 25: I've talked with the President about it. As soon as
- 1:02:30Speaker 25: I saw it and told him that I don't think
- 1:02:33Speaker 25: it was being received in the same way he intended it.
- 1:02:36Speaker 25: He agreed, and he pulled it down. That was the
- 1:02:38Speaker 25: great thing to do. He explained how he saw that,
- 1:02:41Speaker 25: and I don't think he thought it was sacrilegious at all.
- 1:02:43Speaker 25: So do you think you should back to I think
- 1:02:45Speaker 25: you great respect to other faveris for.
- 1:02:48Speaker 5: Moving it all. Right, there you go the speaker away again.
- 1:02:51Speaker 5: On the infamous meme, President Trump says, no, he didn't.
- 1:02:54Speaker 5: You know, he didn't think he was portraying Jesus. He
- 1:02:57Speaker 5: felt like he was portraying a doctor. And you know,
- 1:02:59Speaker 5: and so the president, you know, my doctor was wearing
- 1:03:02Speaker 5: a robe and and you know, a scarf the last
- 1:03:05Speaker 5: time I saw him.
- 1:03:06Speaker 24: So I don't know, maybe that's Yeah, I think Speaker
- 1:03:10Speaker 24: Johnson's right. Did Trump probably mean anything by it, Probably
- 1:03:14Speaker 24: should have done it also.
- 1:03:15Speaker 5: Now, yeah, I had I have proposed an eleventh commandment,
- 1:03:19Speaker 5: thou shalt not meme, So Josh, I think that's that's
- 1:03:23Speaker 5: got to be the new rule. By the way, we're
- 1:03:26Speaker 5: getting you're getting some comments here, Josh on the live
- 1:03:29Speaker 5: stream on our YouTube channel, d C dash k T
- 1:03:32Speaker 5: three c M says, I'm a Catholic and I don't
- 1:03:36Speaker 5: feel that way about the president. The President has not
- 1:03:39Speaker 5: lost my support, but the Catholic Church, with their NGOs,
- 1:03:43Speaker 5: the bishops and the cardinals, sure have. You know, that's
- 1:03:46Speaker 5: a fair point. I mean, the Catholics are getting we're
- 1:03:48Speaker 5: getting a lot of money from the Biden administration, and
- 1:03:52Speaker 5: these cardinals are as woke as the day is long.
- 1:03:56Speaker 24: Yeah, I mean that's a fair fair Com'm fair to
- 1:03:58Speaker 24: be I'll e seven for him personally Catholics, so it's
- 1:04:01Speaker 24: not like I'm a member of the church and can
- 1:04:03Speaker 24: necessarily come out on the inner workings of how everything
- 1:04:06Speaker 24: works over there. But look, I totally get a black said,
- 1:04:13Speaker 24: is it productive for Trump given everything else that's in
- 1:04:15Speaker 24: the Newcacle right now?
- 1:04:16Speaker 10: Probably not.
- 1:04:17Speaker 5: I'd people are focused on.
- 1:04:18Speaker 24: The war things of that nature, But yeah, I don't
- 1:04:22Speaker 24: think it's going to affect them.
- 1:04:23Speaker 5: You see, I don't know. I don't either, And it's
- 1:04:25Speaker 5: short term memory, that's and there's so many things going
- 1:04:29Speaker 5: on in this administration that by tomorrow people were like,
- 1:04:32Speaker 5: what meme. I don't think they'll even remember to that
- 1:04:36Speaker 5: point though the war, We've got the blockade, This is
- 1:04:39Speaker 5: clearly going to last for quite some time now, there's
- 1:04:43Speaker 5: no end in sight. How do you see that playing
- 1:04:46Speaker 5: with the electorate.
- 1:04:48Speaker 24: Look the electorate at a lot of voters whenever they
- 1:04:52Speaker 24: go to the bow box this November, are going to
- 1:04:54Speaker 24: be voting based on their pocketbook or the wallet and saying,
- 1:04:56Speaker 24: am I paying more for prices now than I was before?
- 1:04:59Speaker 24: So so if the answer to that is yes, particularly
- 1:05:02Speaker 24: as it relates to gas prices and energy prices, Republicans
- 1:05:06Speaker 24: have to adopt a message from this point moving forward
- 1:05:09Speaker 24: of what exactly the rationality go into Iran was and
- 1:05:12Speaker 24: make sure you're communicating that effectively. Marco Rubio has done
- 1:05:15Speaker 24: a great job at this of putting this in simple
- 1:05:18Speaker 24: terms in a two minute video every now and again
- 1:05:20Speaker 24: and just laying out exactly what's happening and why it's happening.
- 1:05:23Speaker 24: I think if Republicans can follow his blueprint communicating this
- 1:05:27Speaker 24: to the voters, then that kind of negates that issue
- 1:05:29Speaker 24: a little bit because at the same time this is
- 1:05:32Speaker 24: in Iraq, We're not having an energy shortage or anything
- 1:05:35Speaker 24: of that nature. It's just oil is priced globally, so
- 1:05:38Speaker 24: whenever there's a shortage that any part of the world.
- 1:05:40Speaker 24: Prices go out America, though we are an oil export,
- 1:05:43Speaker 24: We're not going to run out. It's just a temporary
- 1:05:45Speaker 24: inflation until this conflict is.
- 1:05:47Speaker 5: Over, Josh, Real quick, a lot of listeners in Virginia,
- 1:05:51Speaker 5: the commonwealthfare We've been urging people to vote no on
- 1:05:54Speaker 5: this referendum. That's all you need to remember is vote no,
- 1:05:57Speaker 5: no matter what it says, because it's going to read
- 1:05:59Speaker 5: the wrong way. What are you hearing from back home?
- 1:06:03Speaker 5: You're from Virginia, what are you hearing?
- 1:06:06Speaker 24: Look, Republicans are wound up, and you can see that
- 1:06:09Speaker 24: in the early voting numbers based on congressional districts. All
- 1:06:13Speaker 24: the Republican congressional districts have higher turnout than the Democrat ones.
- 1:06:16Speaker 24: Right now, now, does that mean it's a surefire we're
- 1:06:18Speaker 24: gonna win? Now, so people start to get out and
- 1:06:21Speaker 24: vote no on this language. And if people ask you
- 1:06:24Speaker 24: questions about it, telling the vote now, because the language
- 1:06:26Speaker 24: on the ballot is very misleading. It would lead you
- 1:06:29Speaker 24: to believe that this isn't what it really is, which
- 1:06:31Speaker 24: is a shameless Democrat power grab by Abigail Spenber and
- 1:06:35Speaker 24: Democrats in Richmond.
- 1:06:37Speaker 5: All right, Josh, Jones on our Patriot Mobile news maker line, Josh,
- 1:06:42Speaker 5: I'm going to be texting you in a matter of
- 1:06:44Speaker 5: moments the Oscar Meyer Wiener mobile, which.
- 1:06:48Speaker 24: I would take a look at the board back.
- 1:06:50Speaker 5: Wow, you know, John Dylan, it's been a while since
- 1:06:53Speaker 5: I've seen it. I always thought it was a lot.
- 1:06:55Speaker 5: So this is a jumbo Wiener mobile. This must be
- 1:06:58Speaker 5: super sized.
- 1:07:00Speaker 15: It's quite literally a semi truck Wiener like it's and
- 1:07:03Speaker 15: it has wheels. What what can get better than that?
- 1:07:05Speaker 10: No?
- 1:07:06Speaker 5: Right, exactly, Well, and maybe some mustard on the side
- 1:07:10Speaker 5: and some slaw. All right, Josh Jones. Good good here
- 1:07:14Speaker 5: in front of you of my friend. Good seeing you,
- 1:07:16Speaker 5: Thanks DoD all right, there you have it, ladies and gentlemen,

- 1:07:28Speaker 5: he's like our culture guy too.
- 1:07:31Speaker 15: Does it go up north? Do we know this? I
- 1:07:33Speaker 15: feel like it goes all around the world. I don't know.
- 1:07:36Speaker 5: You see, I wouldn't consider Josh to be a Yankee, though.
- 1:07:40Speaker 15: I guess, but he's out there.
- 1:07:42Speaker 5: He's from Virginia. Well, no, Washington, DC is technically it's
- 1:07:46Speaker 5: mid Sorry, I'm distracted while I'm trying to send this
- 1:07:49Speaker 5: poor kid. We're trying to educate the next generation.
- 1:07:52Speaker 15: Got to get a high rest photo. It could be
- 1:07:56Speaker 15: seen driving down very fast on the interstate.
- 1:07:58Speaker 5: I didn't realize how crazy that thing looks.
- 1:08:01Speaker 15: It does.
- 1:08:02Speaker 5: It's an Oh, by the way, it is Hallal by
- 1:08:05Speaker 5: the way, it's the all beef Frankfurter Mobile.
- 1:08:08Speaker 15: Yeah, so you can go anywhere.
- 1:08:10Speaker 5: Oh, you know what this may be. I may have
- 1:08:12Speaker 5: sent him the wrong one. I think there are two
- 1:08:13Speaker 5: different ones. There could be one pork and one one beef.
- 1:08:17Speaker 15: I guess.
- 1:08:18Speaker 5: So he sent me a laffy emoji the haha. All right,
- 1:08:23Speaker 5: we got to take a break here, folks. Nine oh
- 1:08:25Speaker 5: one two six zero five nine two six is our

- 1:08:30Speaker 5: actually seen or been through the Oscar Mayer Wiener Mobile.
- 1:08:33Speaker 5: That's I mean, you know, that would be another great question.
- 1:08:36Speaker 5: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

- 1:09:37Speaker 5: Oscar Iyerwenermobile. I am on a literally a nationwide search
- 1:09:42Speaker 5: for the best hot dogs. And of course I'm a
- 1:09:45Speaker 5: I'm a big chili dog and a huge slow dog,
- 1:09:48Speaker 5: which is a it's a Southern thing, and I'm all
- 1:09:52Speaker 5: I've been searching high and low for the best hot
- 1:09:54Speaker 5: dogs in America, and there's a great one and I
- 1:09:57Speaker 5: don't remember the name. I'm sure someone listening to us
- 1:09:59Speaker 5: on w HKP and Hendersonville, North Carolina, will will remind
- 1:10:03Speaker 5: me of the name. But they actually brought the hot
- 1:10:06Speaker 5: dogs to the radio station as we did our show
- 1:10:08Speaker 5: there on during our book tour. And in Stateshold, North
- 1:10:13Speaker 5: Carolina w si C, they had a hot dog food
- 1:10:17Speaker 5: truck that came by owned by veterans, and man, was
- 1:10:21Speaker 5: that a great hot I'm sure somebody will call in
- 1:10:23Speaker 5: and give us the names of those two places. But
- 1:10:26Speaker 5: let me tell you something, Dylan, there is nothing finer
- 1:10:29Speaker 5: than a chili slow dog.
- 1:10:32Speaker 15: I'm gonna have to try that, Todd. It sounds pretty good.
- 1:10:35Speaker 15: I'm a picky eater, but I'm open to it.
- 1:10:37Speaker 5: It'll clog an artery, but it's worth a stint.
- 1:10:41Speaker 15: There you go.
- 1:10:41Speaker 5: I'm just going to tell you, all right, let's go
- 1:10:43Speaker 5: to Tom in Houston, Texas Patriot Talk nine twenty Tom,
- 1:10:46Speaker 5: I am intrigued. I understand that you have a Wiener
- 1:10:50Speaker 5: mobile story.
- 1:10:53Speaker 3: Yes I do, Yes, I do, but they just put
- 1:10:57Speaker 3: alert out on Fox News break. He knew Swalwell is
- 1:11:01Speaker 3: opening up a sausage company.
- 1:11:05Speaker 5: Tom Tom, Tom, Tom Tom.
- 1:11:07Speaker 3: Anyway, we were at a at a farmer's market, and
- 1:11:13Speaker 3: we had our dogs with us, one of which is
- 1:11:16Speaker 3: a Wiener dog, and they had the Wiener Mobile. I
- 1:11:22Speaker 3: was thrilled, and I asked the you know they hire
- 1:11:26Speaker 3: kids on summer break from college to do. I think

- 1:16:22Speaker 5: We've got to put a boat, Dylan on our what
- 1:16:26Speaker 5: our long two hour long conversation on hot dogs.
- 1:16:30Speaker 15: Like an hour and a half conversation going on.
- 1:16:32Speaker 5: For a while. Uh, let's go to Elie, Nevada. Lucky
- 1:16:37Speaker 5: is on the line. Lucky. What's what say you about
- 1:16:41Speaker 5: the hount Dogs.
- 1:16:43Speaker 23: Well, I had a daycare center in Richmond, Virginia, and
- 1:16:49Speaker 23: you know, they have various hot dog ones going around,
- 1:16:52Speaker 23: so they'd have him in different states, and in our
- 1:16:55Speaker 23: state they would come to Richmond once a month. I
- 1:16:59Speaker 23: would take the care they'd line up, they'd be so
- 1:17:02Speaker 23: excited to get pictures next to this hot dogs driving around.
- 1:17:08Speaker 23: But what I wanted to tell you is that when
- 1:17:10Speaker 23: every kid left one of the schools that was during
- 1:17:15Speaker 23: the summer work, I guess for the Wii, they would
- 1:17:20Speaker 23: give them little Wi whistles, and let me tell you,
- 1:17:25Speaker 23: I would regret having taken them because at the end
- 1:17:28Speaker 23: of the day, all they love. They were blowing these
- 1:17:31Speaker 23: whistles off poon and different times, and it was a
- 1:17:36Speaker 23: little hot dog in a month and you would blow
- 1:17:39Speaker 23: the end of the hot dogs and it would make
- 1:17:41Speaker 23: these whistles, and it was on a little teaching And
- 1:17:45Speaker 23: ever since you started this morning, I've been going to
- 1:17:48Speaker 23: boxes trying to find a whole whistle. I kept one
- 1:17:51Speaker 23: for myself and I wanted to take a picture of it.
- 1:17:55Speaker 23: A texta tree.
- 1:17:56Speaker 5: I love this. Do you have Are you holding the
- 1:17:59Speaker 5: hot dog whistle even as you and I are speaking here?
- 1:18:03Speaker 23: No, I haven't found the right back.
- 1:18:04Speaker 5: Oh okay, I was going to have you blow the
- 1:18:07Speaker 5: whistle right here on national radio.
- 1:18:10Speaker 23: Well they had. They were evidently different tunes in these whistles,
- 1:18:14Speaker 23: because the kids would drive me crazy from the time
- 1:18:18Speaker 23: we left at one A one TM in the afternoon
- 1:18:21Speaker 23: after having hot dogs with them. To day people sit
- 1:18:27Speaker 23: around tables and the kids I show blankets on the
- 1:18:30Speaker 23: floor and I mean on the ground and let them
- 1:18:32Speaker 23: sit on the ground and eat these hot dogs, you know.
- 1:18:35Speaker 23: And they thought they were the best out dogs around,
- 1:18:37Speaker 23: you know. So, and then I get back to our
- 1:18:41Speaker 23: center at about two thirty, and from two thirty to
- 1:18:45Speaker 23: the time the terrance picked them up at five o'clock
- 1:18:47Speaker 23: or five thirty, all lay long whistle. Who could whistle
- 1:18:50Speaker 23: the longest time?
- 1:18:51Speaker 5: Oh Jesus over the loudest. Yeah, I can see where
- 1:18:55Speaker 5: that might get. It's kind of like the Mississippi State
- 1:18:57Speaker 5: University with their cowbells. You know, you can tolerate it
- 1:19:01Speaker 5: for a second or two, but after that it's like
- 1:19:04Speaker 5: knocked it off, all right, I tell you.
- 1:19:07Speaker 23: I come from New York City and Cony Allen the
- 1:19:11Speaker 23: best hot dog of the people hot dogs, then all
- 1:19:16Speaker 23: hot dogs, Nathan's hot Dog.
- 1:19:17Speaker 5: Nathan's hot Dogs, Nathan's.
- 1:19:19Speaker 23: Yes Mustage sour Kraut the best.
- 1:19:24Speaker 5: It's a great hot dog. And I have actually had
- 1:19:27Speaker 5: hot dogs at the Nathan's hot Dog stand there right
- 1:19:30Speaker 5: there at Coney Island. It's if you're going to New
- 1:19:32Speaker 5: York City, it's worth the subway ride out to Coney
- 1:19:35Speaker 5: Island just to experience that little bit of history. Lucky,
- 1:19:39Speaker 5: thank you for taking us down memory lane, and thank
- 1:19:42Speaker 5: you for calling in and listening to us on the
- 1:19:44Speaker 5: Nevada Network there in Eae, Nevada. Well, I want to
- 1:19:48Speaker 5: go right away to our Patriot mobile news maker line.
- 1:19:51Speaker 5: Our great guest, doctor Susan Michael, President of the International
- 1:19:55Speaker 5: Christian Embassy, Jerusalem, USA and the director of American Christian
- 1:20:00Speaker 5: Leaders for Israel. Doctor Michael, I guess I should probably
- 1:20:05Speaker 5: ask if you have a favorite hot dog joint, But.
- 1:20:09Speaker 12: As long as their kosher, okay.
- 1:20:11Speaker 5: Right exactly? I've I love it. I love it. Uh, doctor,
- 1:20:19Speaker 5: you never know what's going to happen on this radio.
- 1:20:20Speaker 5: We're talking, you know, world affairs. One day and the
- 1:20:23Speaker 5: best hot dog joint in America at the other hours.
- 1:20:25Speaker 5: So there you go, doctor Michael. One of the things
- 1:20:30Speaker 5: we've been covering for the past couple of weeks on
- 1:20:33Speaker 5: the program is the rise of anti Semitism in America
- 1:20:39Speaker 5: and especially within the conservative movement, at least some sectors
- 1:20:43Speaker 5: of the conservative movement. I know that you guys have
- 1:20:45Speaker 5: been paying very very close attention to this and how
- 1:20:49Speaker 5: concerned are you about what we're seeing out there?
- 1:20:53Speaker 12: Well, Todd, first of all, is great to be with
- 1:20:55Speaker 12: you again today, my friend, But I couldn't be more
- 1:20:59Speaker 12: concerned over the growth of anti Semitism in America in general,
- 1:21:04Speaker 12: and particularly what we see happening in the right wing
- 1:21:08Speaker 12: camp of Conservativism. You know, I think that it's surpassed
- 1:21:16Speaker 12: the nineteen thirties in Germany level. It's become violent. We
- 1:21:23Speaker 12: have had violent attacks here in the United States. We
- 1:21:27Speaker 12: have It's just unbelievable at the levels that it has
- 1:21:31Speaker 12: gone to. And you know, we are very very concerned
- 1:21:35Speaker 12: that the Christian community here in the United States understand
- 1:21:40Speaker 12: the dangers of this movement and understand the lies that
- 1:21:44Speaker 12: it's built upon, so that they will not be swayed
- 1:21:49Speaker 12: by it and that they will be like a wall
- 1:21:52Speaker 12: against it. And that's why we're working so busy to
- 1:21:56Speaker 12: educate the Christians in America to understand this danger. You know, Todd,
- 1:22:02Speaker 12: the biggest problem that we have is the use of
- 1:22:05Speaker 12: social media and the Internet. So what used to be
- 1:22:08Speaker 12: a fringe far right or far left movement that didn't
- 1:22:13Speaker 12: really have that many followers and that much of influence.
- 1:22:17Speaker 12: Through social media, they're able to find each other, they're
- 1:22:20Speaker 12: able to influence people that don't know the history, they
- 1:22:26Speaker 12: don't know what they don't know. And these movements are
- 1:22:31Speaker 12: really growing mainly because of the use of social media.
- 1:22:35Speaker 12: And I'm sorry to say that many of us are
- 1:22:38Speaker 12: Christian organizations were weak on social media, and that's where
- 1:22:44Speaker 12: we really need to be focusing a lot more attention.
- 1:22:47Speaker 5: You know, a couple of years ago, I started noticing
- 1:22:50Speaker 5: the trend, and we have a pretty massive social media platform,
- 1:22:53Speaker 5: and I started noticing just on the fringes, and then
- 1:22:57Speaker 5: I was telling some folks and Wash Washington, some of
- 1:23:01Speaker 5: the big religious liberty groups, Hey, guys, we need to
- 1:23:03Speaker 5: be paying attention to this. And I don't think anybody
- 1:23:06Speaker 5: you know at that point did I mean, you guys
- 1:23:08Speaker 5: have been all over this story, but you're right, this
- 1:23:11Speaker 5: is something that is this is something that is incredibly concerning.
- 1:23:15Speaker 5: And again, the podcasters and the influence of these podcasters
- 1:23:18Speaker 5: like Canda Owens, Tucker Carls and all these folks. It's
- 1:23:21Speaker 5: the young people they're influencing, And those are the numbers
- 1:23:24Speaker 5: that really really concern me, doctor Michael, because clearly there
- 1:23:29Speaker 5: is a shift in thinking when it comes to Israel
- 1:23:31Speaker 5: within the younger generation of conservatives.
- 1:23:35Speaker 12: Yes, and you know what's happened with both Tucker Carlson
- 1:23:38Speaker 12: and Candas Owen is just shocking, the almost like one
- 1:23:43Speaker 12: hundred and eighty degree turn and moving into a very
- 1:23:48Speaker 12: dangerous and dark mentality and belief and conspiracies and just
- 1:23:57Speaker 12: disregarding history and facts on the ground. That is such
- 1:24:01Speaker 12: a dangerous place to be in. And the only good
- 1:24:04Speaker 12: news in this, Todd is I do believe that they're
- 1:24:06Speaker 12: exposing themselves more and more to be radical, and so
- 1:24:11Speaker 12: a lot of more mainstream people are not going to
- 1:24:14Speaker 12: be as influence as maybe they were in the beginning,
- 1:24:18Speaker 12: but now they're beginning to kind of back away from that.
- 1:24:22Speaker 12: And the other problem that we have in this is
- 1:24:26Speaker 12: the growth of bots on social media, so you've seen it.
- 1:24:32Speaker 12: You all have posted something that was about Israel, and
- 1:24:34Speaker 12: then you're just bombarded with all these messages. You don't
- 1:24:38Speaker 12: even know that they're from real people. They're probably just
- 1:24:41Speaker 12: bought fake accounts. But for a young person watching this,
- 1:24:46Speaker 12: they think, oh, all these people are saying this, it
- 1:24:48Speaker 12: must be true. And we're outnumbered and really outfunded, and
- 1:24:57Speaker 12: we have to put a lot of prayer and a
- 1:24:59Speaker 12: lot of bloods wet and tears into fighting back against.
- 1:25:02Speaker 5: I know exactly what you're talking about. Over the past
- 1:25:04Speaker 5: couple of weeks, there's been some sort of a movement
- 1:25:07Speaker 5: on social media starns as a closet Jew, and I'm like, well, no,
- 1:25:12Speaker 5: I'm a Baptist gentile, but you know, it's okay, It's
- 1:25:17Speaker 5: I don't have a problem with that. But still the
- 1:25:21Speaker 5: attacks are just insane, and I'm so glad that you
- 1:25:26Speaker 5: guys are finally doing something about it, because we've got
- 1:25:29Speaker 5: to stand up. And I really do think this is
- 1:25:31Speaker 5: just about education within Prenominantly, I think our churches of America,
- 1:25:36Speaker 5: what say you, yes in.
- 1:25:38Speaker 12: Our churches, but everywhere that we can find Christians. So
- 1:25:41Speaker 12: we are working on university campuses to reach the young people.
- 1:25:47Speaker 12: And you know, there's a lot of Christian young people
- 1:25:50Speaker 12: out there that they may be confused right now, but
- 1:25:53Speaker 12: they want to know the truth and that's really that's
- 1:25:56Speaker 12: the key in this, and so we want to get
- 1:25:59Speaker 12: to them the information that they need so that they
- 1:26:03Speaker 12: have a biblical worldview, a biblical stance on Israel and
- 1:26:08Speaker 12: the Jewish people and against anti Semitism. We're also working
- 1:26:12Speaker 12: in churches, we are working on social media. We actually
- 1:26:17Speaker 12: are working with young Christians working on Capitol Hill right
- 1:26:20Speaker 12: now doing a teaching series on Israel. And I'm so
- 1:26:25Speaker 12: encouraged by working with these young Christians because they really
- 1:26:29Speaker 12: do want to know the truth and can be easily taught.
- 1:26:36Speaker 12: But we've got pastors to work with, we have. The
- 1:26:40Speaker 12: job is huge, but we're out there working on every
- 1:26:42Speaker 12: front that we can.
- 1:26:44Speaker 5: I'm just so encouraged to hear this, and i know
- 1:26:46Speaker 5: so many of our listeners are encouraged as well because
- 1:26:49Speaker 5: they see it, Doctor Michael. And sometimes it's easy to
- 1:26:53Speaker 5: get into that social media bubble, but there are light
- 1:26:57Speaker 5: minded people still out there, a lot of us who
- 1:27:00Speaker 5: want to stand alongside our Jewish friends. And you know,
- 1:27:03Speaker 5: one of the things I always encourage people to do
- 1:27:06Speaker 5: is take a trip to the Holy Land. Take young
- 1:27:08Speaker 5: people with you when you go to the Holy Land
- 1:27:11Speaker 5: so they can experience I mean, that is that's our heritage,
- 1:27:14Speaker 5: you know, as people of faith. And I think that,
- 1:27:17Speaker 5: you know, when they get to see it up close
- 1:27:19Speaker 5: and personal, you know, and they can touch it and
- 1:27:22Speaker 5: feel it, then I think it really does help help
- 1:27:24Speaker 5: change minds.
- 1:27:26Speaker 12: Oh it makes all the difference in the world. And
- 1:27:28Speaker 12: I'm a perfect example of that. I was nineteen years
- 1:27:31Speaker 12: old when I first had the privilege to go to
- 1:27:34Speaker 12: Israel on a study program. I was a Biblical studies major,
- 1:27:38Speaker 12: and it completely changed my life because the Bible came alive,
- 1:27:42Speaker 12: but also the world came alive. It was just fascinating.
- 1:27:46Speaker 12: Their being in Israel. Israel itself is so fascinating. So
- 1:27:50Speaker 12: if I end up in a debate with someone today
- 1:27:54Speaker 12: and they're spewing just nonsense, I'll just tell them until
- 1:27:59Speaker 12: you go to Israel and you see it for yourself,
- 1:28:02Speaker 12: I don't even want to talk to you about it
- 1:28:04Speaker 12: because you do not know what you're talking about. And
- 1:28:07Speaker 12: we take young people, we take pastors, and we you know,
- 1:28:13Speaker 12: because it is totally life changing for them.
- 1:28:16Speaker 5: Let's talk about action points here. We've got just about
- 1:28:19Speaker 5: ninety seconds here. Where can people go? You mentioned resources
- 1:28:23Speaker 5: that are available. How can people take action?
- 1:28:26Speaker 12: Yes, our main website is icej usa dot org and
- 1:28:33Speaker 12: from there they can find all of our educational resources.

- 1:28:58Speaker 5: you back on against soch an important topic. And also,

- 1:34:06Speaker 5: with us today. Let's go to the phones. Greg and Cleveland,
- 1:34:10Speaker 5: Georgia listening to us this afternoon. Hi, Greg, what's on
- 1:34:14Speaker 5: your mind?
- 1:34:16Speaker 12: Well?
- 1:34:17Speaker 28: I was talking, you was talking the other day about
- 1:34:18Speaker 28: the voting, and I voted just about all my life.
- 1:34:23Speaker 28: And you know, you vote be the Democratic, Republican or independence,
- 1:34:27Speaker 28: you know, but I think, or this is my opinion,
- 1:34:31Speaker 28: voting Mega make America gods again. Put it back in
- 1:34:40Speaker 28: God's hands as he would have you to vote. And
- 1:34:42Speaker 28: I'm not talking about all these other gods that are
- 1:34:44Speaker 28: after that. I'm talking about the old Jesus Christ. He's
- 1:34:48Speaker 28: the only god there is. And you know that's my opinion.
- 1:34:52Speaker 28: I just think if you vote the Bible, he can't
- 1:34:56Speaker 28: go wrong. And I know a lot of Republicans and
- 1:34:59Speaker 28: you know politics and everything. Yes, everybody's got their own opinion,
- 1:35:02Speaker 28: and I've got mine, and they were noble saying about opinions.
- 1:35:07Speaker 28: Everybody's got one, but you know mine's not always that.
- 1:35:11Speaker 22: So I just.
- 1:35:12Speaker 28: Figured that if you vote God's laws and what is principles,
- 1:35:20Speaker 28: we didn't go wrong. And you know it's I just
- 1:35:22Speaker 28: want to know what you thought about voting Mega America Gods.
- 1:35:28Speaker 5: I like that idea, and I hope that I hope
- 1:35:31Speaker 5: Christians in America are doing just that, that they're praying
- 1:35:34Speaker 5: before they go and vote on election day, and that
- 1:35:38Speaker 5: they're voting for the people, you know, who God would
- 1:35:41Speaker 5: have them vote. For you know, it's interesting going back
- 1:35:44Speaker 5: to the early days of America, Greg, voting used to
- 1:35:49Speaker 5: coincide with church services, So you would actually go to church,
- 1:35:53Speaker 5: you would hear a sermon, and then you would go
- 1:35:55Speaker 5: and cast your ballot. And I think that maybe had
- 1:35:59Speaker 5: a way of, you know, pointing you in the right
- 1:36:02Speaker 5: direction when you would go to the ballot box. I
- 1:36:06Speaker 5: like your idea a whole lot, Greg, I sure do.
- 1:36:09Speaker 5: Thank you for calling. Nine oh one two six zero
- 1:36:12Speaker 5: five nine two six is our number. I want to
- 1:36:16Speaker 5: talk to you for just a moment. Got some got
- 1:36:18Speaker 5: some news last night, and it's just been Oh, Bob,
- 1:36:22Speaker 5: I'm a little not really bummed out, but I'm a
- 1:36:24Speaker 5: little bummed out. Many of you know Bellevue Baptist Church
- 1:36:28Speaker 5: one of the largest churches in America. It was the
- 1:36:33Speaker 5: pulpit once occupied by the great Adriane Rogers. I don't
- 1:36:36Speaker 5: know if many of you remember Adrian Rodgers, but really
- 1:36:39Speaker 5: just he and it was Adrienne Rodgers and Charles Stanley
- 1:36:43Speaker 5: really influenced me. And Jerry Folwell Senior. Those three men
- 1:36:48Speaker 5: especially influenced me. Their their preaching and their teaching and
- 1:36:51Speaker 5: their books really impacted my life as a high school
- 1:36:55Speaker 5: kid and going into college. And when I was at
- 1:36:59Speaker 5: Fox News Channel, someone said, you know, Starns, you ought
- 1:37:01Speaker 5: to do a story about the Bellevue Baptist Church Singing
- 1:37:05Speaker 5: Christmas Tree. And I had known about the Singing Christmas
- 1:37:08Speaker 5: Tree for many, many years. I mean, this is I
- 1:37:11Speaker 5: think next this coming Christmas will be the fiftieth anniversary
- 1:37:15Speaker 5: of the Bellevue Singing Christmas Tree. And Dylan, I remember
- 1:37:20Speaker 5: back when I was in grade school at Hope Peace
- 1:37:22Speaker 5: Sullivan Elementary that one of the kids in my class
- 1:37:26Speaker 5: was like in the tree and she became like a star,
- 1:37:29Speaker 5: like a celebrity. They're at Hope Peace Sullivan Elementary School.
- 1:37:33Speaker 5: And if you haven't seen the Singing Christmas Tree, it's massive.
- 1:37:37Speaker 5: It's like, I don't know, three or four, maybe five
- 1:37:39Speaker 5: stories tall. It's huge. And this got like people and
- 1:37:43Speaker 5: they sing in the tree, and it's a huge stage production.
- 1:37:47Speaker 5: It is the largest Christmas production in all of the
- 1:37:50Speaker 5: Mid South. Massive and people, thousands of people go to
- 1:37:55Speaker 5: This is so well done. It really is like a
- 1:37:57Speaker 5: Broadway style show without having a you know, fork over
- 1:38:00Speaker 5: two hundred and fifty bucks or whatever. So anyway, I
- 1:38:04Speaker 5: through it. We did it and Dylan Ashley got me
- 1:38:07Speaker 5: up into that tree. I was a little nervous, to
- 1:38:10Speaker 5: be honest with you.
- 1:38:11Speaker 15: It's a pretty tall tree to be up in.
- 1:38:13Speaker 5: I look like, I don't know, a giant like Seal,
- 1:38:17Speaker 5: you know, had a walrus. I kind of felt like
- 1:38:21Speaker 5: a walrus, you know, sort of trying to get into
- 1:38:23Speaker 5: the tree. It's very difficult.
- 1:38:25Speaker 15: It's an honor to be in the tree.
- 1:38:27Speaker 5: It was an honor. I wasn't quite sure I was
- 1:38:29Speaker 5: going to be able to get out. They had an
- 1:38:30Speaker 5: emergency tub of butter just in case it had to
- 1:38:33Speaker 5: land me up. Yeah, splurt me right out, of course.
- 1:38:38Speaker 5: I think that's our new word, splurt. So anyway, I
- 1:38:42Speaker 5: got to know Mark Blair, and he and I. He's
- 1:38:44Speaker 5: the worship pastor at Bellevue and just a great guy,
- 1:38:49Speaker 5: one of the one of the good guys, and just
- 1:38:53Speaker 5: has such a heart for God and such a heart
- 1:38:56Speaker 5: for music and excellence in music. And he and his wife, Marty,
- 1:39:01Speaker 5: she's just salt of the earth people. And we got
- 1:39:05Speaker 5: to know each other, and they would come up to
- 1:39:07Speaker 5: New York City and we would visit and fellowship, and
- 1:39:10Speaker 5: I think we've shared plenty of meals together and we'd
- 1:39:12Speaker 5: talk politics. We used to go over to Houston's and
- 1:39:16Speaker 5: taught politics every now and again, and just a great guy.
- 1:39:20Speaker 5: I think during most of that time, Mark was dealing
- 1:39:23Speaker 5: with cancer and it was tough. I'm telling you something,
- 1:39:29Speaker 5: I've never met a man as tough as Mark Blair.
- 1:39:32Speaker 5: This guy would be. They would be flying down to
- 1:39:35Speaker 5: Houston m d Anderson, which I understand is an incredible
- 1:39:39Speaker 5: medical facility. Those of you in Houston can testify to that.
- 1:39:43Speaker 5: And then he'd be back Sunday leading people and singing
- 1:39:47Speaker 5: praises to God and with just a smile on his face.
- 1:39:50Speaker 5: And he had to have been in pain anyway. Got
- 1:39:54Speaker 5: word yesterday that Mark was back in the hospital. They
- 1:39:58Speaker 5: took him to the er and a lot of and yeah,
- 1:40:03Speaker 5: they're they're going home, they're going going to hospice care.
- 1:40:11Speaker 5: And the pastor of the church, Steve Gaines, just passed
- 1:40:14Speaker 5: away a couple of weeks ago, he himself dealing with
- 1:40:18Speaker 5: cancer and it's been tough on that church. What a
- 1:40:21Speaker 5: sweet people though, just I know, you think mega church
- 1:40:24Speaker 5: and you don't you think maybe impersonal. It is kind
- 1:40:27Speaker 5: of like a small church, but just the sweetest people
- 1:40:31Speaker 5: at Bellevue Baptist Church. And you know I knew Steve,
- 1:40:37Speaker 5: Steve Gaines for many many years, and it was man,
- 1:40:40Speaker 5: it's just you know, young guys. You know, they're in
- 1:40:42Speaker 5: their sixties, early sixties and dealing with cancer. Steve gone
- 1:40:46Speaker 5: on to be with the Lord and Mark is nearing
- 1:40:49Speaker 5: that time and he has fought. When you talk about
- 1:40:54Speaker 5: fighting the good fight, this man has fought that fight
- 1:40:58Speaker 5: and he's done so with joy in his heart. And
- 1:41:03Speaker 5: that just makes such an impression on me. So anyway,
- 1:41:07Speaker 5: I want you to do a favor, if you don't mind,
- 1:41:10Speaker 5: I want you to pray for Mark and his precious
- 1:41:12Speaker 5: family is kids and grandkids. Pray for the folks and
- 1:41:17Speaker 5: the music ministry and uh, they have reached thousands of
- 1:41:22Speaker 5: young people and have encouraged them and have inspired them,
- 1:41:25Speaker 5: many of them going on to other things. Uh, Dylan,
- 1:41:28Speaker 5: you remember Alan Pillow who is a part of our team.
- 1:41:30Speaker 5: He now works for ken Ham and the Ark Encounter.
- 1:41:33Speaker 5: You know Alan came up through that singing Christmas tree.
- 1:41:37Speaker 5: Oh yeah, so.
- 1:41:39Speaker 15: Lots of lots of good people come out of that too.
- 1:41:41Speaker 5: Yeah, big time. So pray for the family, Pray for
- 1:41:46Speaker 5: the young people there at Bellevue Baptist Church and pray
- 1:41:49Speaker 5: for the church and there they're great new pastor doctor
- 1:41:53Speaker 5: Ben Mandreul, just a fine, fine person and he's going
- 1:41:57Speaker 5: to be shepherding you know these you know, these rucious
- 1:42:00Speaker 5: people through another time of just difficulty. So but we
- 1:42:06Speaker 5: give glory to God. And it's hard. Sometimes it's hard
- 1:42:09Speaker 5: to do right because you don't want to mourn. But
- 1:42:13Speaker 5: we do mourn because we do know that ultimately life
- 1:42:17Speaker 5: is eternal for those who trust in Jesus Christ. And
- 1:42:22Speaker 5: that's what we do. But we've had Mark on the
- 1:42:25Speaker 5: show a time or two. Every time seeking Christmas Tree
- 1:42:28Speaker 5: rolls around and he you know what, and it's such
- 1:42:31Speaker 5: a well well done production, but he doesn't want to
- 1:42:35Speaker 5: talk about that. He wants to talk about the story.
- 1:42:38Speaker 5: What is the message is? What spiritual truths are they
- 1:42:42Speaker 5: going to share with folks? Is they're flying angels over
- 1:42:45Speaker 5: ahead of you and the massive auditorium there. This is
- 1:42:53Speaker 5: the Tom Stern Show. All right, welcome back to everybody.

- 1:47:44Speaker 5: just gonna tell you.
- 1:47:45Speaker 15: I might have to like get back into hot dogs
- 1:47:47Speaker 15: because I really have put them off for a while.
- 1:47:49Speaker 5: I tell you, I do love a good grilled dog.
- 1:47:51Speaker 5: But if you're gonna do a grilled hot dog, you
- 1:47:53Speaker 5: don't want the chili and the slaw and that you
- 1:47:54Speaker 5: want the that's a that's a whole different taste.
- 1:47:57Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, I guess so.
- 1:47:58Speaker 5: But you never want to boil. You don't boil a
- 1:48:01Speaker 5: hot dog, and don't put it in the microwave. You
- 1:48:03Speaker 5: know what you do, You get yourself a pan, put
- 1:48:06Speaker 5: a little butter in there, and you and and what
- 1:48:09Speaker 5: I like to do is like I slice the hot dogs,
- 1:48:12Speaker 5: not all the way through, and so that way, you know,
- 1:48:14Speaker 5: you get the butter and all of that good all
- 1:48:16Speaker 5: of that.
- 1:48:16Speaker 15: Goodness saturated in the butter.

- 1:48:46Speaker 5: two six hour telephone over. That's nine oh one two
- 1:48:49Speaker 5: six zero five nine two six.
- 1:48:51Speaker 27: Hey.
- 1:48:51Speaker 5: Harry Hurley and doctor Wendy Patrick joined me on my
- 1:48:55Speaker 5: NEWSMAC show last night. Let's take a listen. To that conversation, Harry.
- 1:49:01Speaker 2: Hurley, where do you side on all of this? God,
- 1:49:04Speaker 2: you don't need me tonight.
- 1:49:05Speaker 31: Your homily was spot on the right tone, The whole
- 1:49:10Speaker 31: presentation was perfect, and you hit all the points. My
- 1:49:13Speaker 31: former boss, the President of the United States is always
- 1:49:17Speaker 31: the counterpuncher. And actually, and you did say it very
- 1:49:22Speaker 31: very well. Normally he would CounterPunch long before he did.
- 1:49:26Speaker 5: But this was the pope.
- 1:49:28Speaker 31: And you don't want to pick any type of difficulty
- 1:49:30Speaker 31: with the pope.
- 1:49:31Speaker 2: It's just not good business.
- 1:49:33Speaker 31: It's just not good at any level. And it's but
- 1:49:36Speaker 31: I will tell you it's unprecedented, though, and I would
- 1:49:39Speaker 31: encourage all the top star and viewers on Newsmax to
- 1:49:43Speaker 31: double check me on this point. You won't find an
- 1:49:45Speaker 31: example except in medieval times. You won't find a modern
- 1:49:49Speaker 31: example where a pope has directly criticized the president of
- 1:49:54Speaker 31: the United States like this. They will criticize policy, and
- 1:49:58Speaker 31: they will do it in a very very mild, subtle way,
- 1:50:03Speaker 31: but generically where people would say, hey, we know you're
- 1:50:06Speaker 31: talking about but you didn't say it.
- 1:50:08Speaker 2: He came out and said it.
- 1:50:09Speaker 3: He said the name.
- 1:50:10Speaker 31: I think it was also bad form when the Pope
- 1:50:12Speaker 31: said that he does not fear the Trump administration. The
- 1:50:16Speaker 31: Trump administration really doesn't want anyone to hear it except say,
- 1:50:19Speaker 31: maybe you know monsters like Iran and let's not forget
- 1:50:24Speaker 31: blessed are the peacemakers.
- 1:50:25Speaker 2: Absolutely true.
- 1:50:27Speaker 31: And President Trump has ended what seven wars, and this
- 1:50:30Speaker 31: is one that he's trying to save countless lives by
- 1:50:33Speaker 31: making sure that Iran will never be nuclear So your
- 1:50:37Speaker 31: own point, and I wish you were wrong, Todd, but
- 1:50:39Speaker 31: you're not.
- 1:50:40Speaker 5: All right, verily, verily, Harry Hurley, and what saith thou
- 1:50:44Speaker 5: Wendy Patrick?
- 1:50:46Speaker 22: Truly, truly, I say to you the truth Social Post
- 1:50:50Speaker 22: probably was one of those things that the President maybe
- 1:50:54Speaker 22: wishes he praised a little differently.
- 1:50:56Speaker 32: He does not want to get into it with the
- 1:50:58Speaker 32: global leader, and he is a peacemaker. President Trump has constantly,
- 1:51:04Speaker 32: as my colleague points out, touted his ability to keep
- 1:51:07Speaker 32: us out of wars, to promote Piece, to promote Piece
- 1:51:11Speaker 32: around the world. I think these two men are talking
- 1:51:13Speaker 32: past each other, as evidenced by pote Leo saying I
- 1:51:17Speaker 32: don't want to get into a debate with him.
- 1:51:19Speaker 5: Well there, all right, if you want to listen to
- 1:51:23Speaker 5: the entire back and forth with Harry and Wendy. Head
- 1:51:26Speaker 5: over to our YouTube channel and you'll be able to
- 1:51:28Speaker 5: watch their video together. Folks, also want to remind you
