A Conservative Resurgence in California? · ToddCast Podcast with Todd Starnes

• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: common sense conservative commentary from Todd Stars American.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Well, Hello, everybody, welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Show.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Great to have you with us today, and man, do
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: we have a busy, busy show for you and a
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: lot of ground to cover. We had some pretty major
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: elections last night, a half a dozen primaries across the nation,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: including in places like Iowa. We're going to be checking
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: in with Jeff Stein in just a little while, also
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: New Jersey, where there is some crazy stuff happening there.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: A witness for the defense in the nine to eleven
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: attacks actually won the Democrat nomination to be to be
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: a member of Congress. So we'll get into that story
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: a little bit later on today as well. Also some
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: really interesting races coming out of the Midwest in South
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Dakota where a sitting congressman and a very popular congressman
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: went down in defeat in a big race there because
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: he was not a Trump supporter. And I think one
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: of the lessons we're learning here in all of these
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: races is that Donald Trump's endorsement is the gold standard.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: And then there's California, and I have to tell you,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I am I am very encouraged by what I have
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: seen over the past well almost twenty four hours.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Let me say that we will not know the final
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: results for days, and that's because California. Well we'll get
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: into that with Josh Jones in just a moment, but
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: that's because California has one of the most antiquated election systems.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: And by the way, it's not all that old. They've
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: only been doing the mail in ballots like this for
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: about six years or so. But I want to go
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: right away to the Patriot Mobile news maker line and
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: bring in our good friend. He is our chief Republican
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: political Strategies here on the Todd Stearns Radio Show, Josh Jones. Josh,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: what a wild night in politics.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was an interesting one to your employ I mean,
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: we had obviously the elections in California that are still
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: at the ballots are still being counted, because as you know,
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: California has the worst system in the country arguably. But
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: to your point, we saw some big upsets in the Midwest,
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: in South Dakota and then also in Iowa last night,
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: and then to your point, we saw what we all
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: know the Democratic Party is becoming, but what the Democratic
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Party future looks like in New Jersey by them electing
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: a radical leftist progressive that's now going to be a
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: member of Congress because that's a safe blue sea So
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: you know, unless something extreame happens, he'll be in Congress
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: next next year.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I want to go through the numbers, and again, these
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: are all changing. One of the things that I think
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: really worried a lot of Republicans who went to bed
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: late last night. I called it a night around midnight,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: and Steve Hilton was doing quite well. The problem though,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: is they have all of these ballots that come in
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: late and they always seem to favor the Democrats. So
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: while Steve Hilton may be and the latest numbers I'm
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: looking at here, Hilton is leading the field with what
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: twenty eight percent of the vote, Jabber Bessera at twenty
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: five percent, and Tom Steyer at twenty percent, then Chad
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Bianco down there at eleven percent. What do you make
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: of these numbers as they now stand.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: I mean as they stand as of right now.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: Look that we still have about half the ballots still
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: out that haven't encountered by as they stand as of
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: right now, let's talk Steve Hilton is going to advance
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: to this November election and face one of the two
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Democrats here.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: So so far, so good.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: And also just look at the raw vote numbers even
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: going to LA where Spencer Pratt looks like he's going
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: to advance to the November election. Look is Republican enthusiasm
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: in California and across the country as well, but particularly
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: in California. And I think that's an emblematic of some
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: of these deep blue states that people are just fed
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: up with Democratic one party control and are looking for alternatives. Now, look,
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: he's out votes to count. Don't want to put you know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: eggs in one basket. So let's see how things shake out.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: But if I'm Steve Hillton, I'm film pretty good right now.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: You know, I want to go back to Spencer Pratt
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: because again, I mean, as it now stands, you could
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: have Spencer Pratt in that in the general election, going
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: up against Karen Baths. But the reality is, I mean
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: we've only got what fifty percent of the ballot counted.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, it could be that the Republicans are wiped out.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you never know.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: And look this is something that California has to address
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: because it's every election with them.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: They have these.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Antiquated melon ballot as in tee ballot rules. Look, if
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: you can run the world's fifth lafe just economy, you
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: can have your election results in within twenty four hours.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: I mean, it should not be this hard. And also
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: to y'all add on, Democrats love to say, how dare you.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Question election results?
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: And look, I'm not questioning the results in California, but
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: they'd love to be like, how dare you question election results? Meanwhile,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: if it takes a week or days, maybe a week
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: to get the results, I don't blame people for asking
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: a question every now and again. So look, they need
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: to fix their system and hopefully if they elect Republican
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: leadership this November, we'll be able to do that.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: You do have to wonder, though, how devastating is this
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: for Karen Bass. I mean, this is the incumbent mayor
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: here and she really got her butt handed to her
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: yesterday by the voters. I know she came out ahead,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: but this cannot be good for Karen Bass.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: You're right, because even if you look at some of
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: these other Democrat candidates that were running along Karen Bass
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: and Spencer Pratt. She didn't get over fifty Karen Bass
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: didn't get over fifty percent of vote, which means the majority.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Of voters in LA wants somebody else.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: Now, whether they coalesced around her as a Democrat nominee
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: this November, we'll see. But that shows out as an
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: appetite for voters in LA where they're not happy with
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: the status quo and they want to shake things up.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at the map here and I thought it
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: was interesting Beyonca. I mean, this really was the Steve
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Hilton race, and when you look at the state Hilton
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Hilton picked up more counties than any other candidate. The
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: problem is, you know, those are not some of the
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: big city areas. I would say perhaps Orange County. Steve
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Hilton did a well there, and then in his home
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: county of San Diego, San Diego County, he did very
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: well down there. Beyonco picked up Riverside County. That's not
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: a surprise there, but it was sort of interesting that.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: But Sarah came in second place in Riverside County and
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering if that had a lot to do with
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: the fact that that Bionco was just really pounding Steve
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Hilton over these past couple of weeks.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say that's probably a fair assessment because look,
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Stier's campaign the number three right now and we'll see
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: again how those results shake out. But Styr's campaign kind
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: of collapsed in the last couple of weeks, so I
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: think he's shifted. Bianca has shifted his attacks from sire
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: primarily over the Hilton, knowing that he needed to beat
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: his numbers down hopefully they come in first place and
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: set him up for Novembers. I imagine what his thinking was.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I thought it was interesting Steier from Marin County, which
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: is out near the Bay area, and he won his
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: home county, but barely, I mean by like, not even
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: a full percentage point. That's that to me is really shocking.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: And Steve Hilton coming in third place there in Marin
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: County with nineteen point six percent of the vote. I'm
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: just wondering if Hilton's message and again, if we can
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: get if we can get all the Republicans on board here,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: there could be a path to victory here for the
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Republicans in the fall.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: You're right, you have to have a unique candidate the
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: win California as a Republican and Steve Hilton's definitely. I
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: mean he's a you know, formerly from Britain, became a
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: USSN in twenty twenty one, and look, his message is
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: breaking through. He's a relatively newcomer to the American political scene,
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: relative newcomer to America in general, which I guess is
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: the American dream. So look, we have a long way
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: between now and November. A lot of that will have
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: to do a fundraising and getting out the vote at
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: a midterm year with Republicans in the White House, which
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: means it's an uphill battle for Republicans. I think you
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: could see like a lot of vote voter dissatisfaction with
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: the status quo in California where that could have an
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: opening for Republican to win this November.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Here's here's how. This is why I think it may
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: be a big deal in Josh, you are the experts.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: You can tell me if I'm off my rock or here.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: But I believe having strong just having candidates, but having
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: strong Republican candidates really helped all the down ballot races.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: And I say that because Gloria Romero, who was the
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Democrat she was in the State Assembly. She left the party,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: and well, she said that the party left her, she
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: became a Republican. She's actually leading right now in the
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: lieutenant governor She's number one with nineteen point eight percent
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: over the two Democrats below her. Regardless, looks like May
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: she may be heading to a general election. You look
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: at Michael Gates, who's running for attorney general. He's been
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: on Both of them have been on the show. Michael
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Gates got forty two point seven percent of the vote
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: for attorney general against Rob Bonta. So who is the
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Democrat incumbent? What do these numbers tell you?
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Look, it tells you that there is an appetite for
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: change in California. And I think that's why you see
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Steve Hillton and these other Republicans messaging. And to your point,
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: it's a huge benefit to downballot races to have a
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: strong top of the ticket because let's say, you know,
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Steve Hilton advances to the November election but maybe doesn't
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: come out on top.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: If he runs an effective camp and he can help us.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: Save a lot of these House seats that Gavin Newsom tried,
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: the jerrymander out of Republican hands so look, it's a
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: politics is a team sport, from the top of the
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: ticket to the bottom of the ticket, because you definitely
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: have a trickle down effect, but you can even have
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: a trickle up effect. You've ever a Rose strong Republican
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: candidate in some of these congressional districts, So it's a
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: team sport. It seems like they have their head in
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: the game, and we'll keep California competitive.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Johnsham, Again, there were those five congressional seats as well,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: and I know you've got a lot going on today,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: but those five congressional seats that were redistricted. I know
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Darryl Isis said, you know what, I'm not going to run.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I'm out. I'm wondering how those Republicans fared in those races.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I know there was one where you had two Republicans
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: going at it and both of them came out as
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: number one and number two. So at least one of
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: the five will remain a Republican seat, which I'm sure
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: is a great disappointment to the Democrats.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: You're right, the Democrats were really screwed themselves over at
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: that one. They thought they were being smart by redistricting
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: those two Republicans of the same district and then they
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: come out number one and number two, and so now
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: you're definitely gonna have Republican this November from that seat,
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: more than likely.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: And I get yeah, it's so yeah, go ahead. I'm sorry.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: No, no, you're fine, You're fined.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: But and those other Congressionals heats that you were talking
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: about too, You had one Republican who switched to the
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: run as an independent after the Jerrymander, who also is
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: going to probably come in first or second, and then
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: the Republicans is going to come in either first or
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: second opposite there. So look, I think the Democrat jerry
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: mander that they tried in California is backfiring on them.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: We'll see how things play out.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Again, we sell a lot of votes to count, unfortunately,
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: so we'll see how things go.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: And the person you're talking about, the independent Kevin Kylie,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: who is caucusing with the Republicans, But you're right, he
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: got I mean, they destroyed his district, but Kylie came
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: out on top. I mean he's got twenty seven percent
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: of the vote. It looks like right now at least
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: all of the Republicans are going to be able to
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: fight for their lives again in the general. So I
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: I think that people, I hope Republicans in California are
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: energized by this. But Josh, you know, let's broaden it
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: out nationwide here. I mean, if these numbers hold, I mean,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: what does that tell you about Republican efforts nationwide?
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: It tells you that, look, the House, the battle for
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: the House is very much in play here. I think
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: at the beginning of this year, a lot of people
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: were saying it's a given that it's going to the Democrats,
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: and look, it's still very very much so a toss
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: up of who wins the House of Representatives is November.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: But Republicans are in a position to fight and win this.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: And what does it take the fight and win it.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: It takes Republicans coming out to vote this November number one,
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: But also too, members of Congress have to go out
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: and message what they've been doing on behalf of the
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: American First Agenda while also continuing to advance the American
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: First Agenda in Congress. Because if we get to November
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: and Republican voters don't feel motivated to come out to
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: the polls because they're asking, well, what's my congressman been doing.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: Then we will lose.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: But they have the.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: Opportunity between now and November, Uh, to go and hit
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: the campaign troll.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: You know, running like you're ten points behind is what I.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Always tell folks, and you'll do, you know, do your
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: part in Congress up in DC and hopefully you know,
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: the voters will respond to that November.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: All Right, the world famous Josh Jones, he is our
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: chief political strategist, showing the Tom Stearns Radio show. Josh,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: great analysis. As always, We're going to get into it
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: a little bit later on with Jeff Stein over at
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: KXL in Iowa. Big races there. John. We're gonna let
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: you get back to it. Always appreciate you joining us
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: on the show, Josh. Thanks, Thanks Tod. All Right, so
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: there you have it, everybody. A just a brief overview
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: of what's going on in California. And look, I mean,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: the reality is right now, Republicans are sitting very pretty
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: but there's still a lot of voting and I'm just
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: gonna I'm just gonna say this and I will I'm
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: gonna let the chips fall where they may. I I'm
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: feeling good about this. However, I am concerned that the
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: longer it takes to count these ballots, the more opportunities
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: the Democrats are going to have to cheat and steal
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: and because the Democrats, they control everything in California, including
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: the vote counting, and you do have to wonder if
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: they are looking at all of these races and trying
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: to figure out exactly how many ballots they need to
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: win over and defeat some of these Republicans. But as
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: it now stands, if we're looking at a fair election here,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: this is fantastic news because it tells me that the
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: good people of California are done with the Democrats and
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: they're ready to do something else. So we're going to
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: open up the phone lines here. Nine oh one two
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six are telephone number. That's
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Sterns Show.
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: Hey guys, quick, heads up. This is actually a big one.
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: We're saying goodbye to something that's helped thousands of families
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: over the years. The Patriot Power Generator, one of the
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: best selling solar generators of twenty twenty five, is officially
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: being retired. And the reason they've just released something even better.
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: It's called the Patriot Power Generator two two zero zero
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: X and this is their most powerful model yet. It's
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: built for real life situations, storms, outages, emergencies when you
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: need power the most. To launch it, they're doing something
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: pretty crazy right now. You can get five hundred dollars
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: off the generator. Plus they're including two free solar panels,
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: so you can double your charging power right out of
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: the box. They're also throwing in a heavy duty roll
• 15:37

• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Radio Show. Great to have your with us, and a
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: lot happening today. Nine oh one two six zero five
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: nine two six is our telephone number. That's nine oh
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six. Let's go
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: to the phone lines. Anthony and Alabama. Hi Anthony, what's
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: on your mind today?
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: Well, I was a.
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: Bigger comment about the election last night in California for the.
• 16:55
  Speaker 9: Mayor, Yes, the mayoral race.
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: Uh yeah, And I don't want to be you know,
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: Pollyannis about all of that. I think it was good
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: that the platte was guy's name was Pratt, Spencer.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Pratt, Spencer Pratt, Yes, go ahead, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: He was in second place, and but there's still a
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: pretty big gap on that percentage between him and Basis.
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: And uh, it's a long way off to November where
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: they're going to have this runoff, and I think the
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: I think the fix is already in that the Democrats
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: are going to win this. There's nobody down there who's
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: going to prevent any kind of cheating that's going on.
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: And you have to consider all of the UH takers
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: that are in California, and it looks pretty good. But
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: I'm pretty skeptical, skeptical that the Republicans are going to
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: be able to pull anything off. It might be different
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: from the governor's side, maybe, but this mayoral race, and
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: that's the Los Angeles you're talking about. So you know,
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: that's pretty much what I wanted to say. And you
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: can go ahead and I'll get off here and you
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: can say whatever you need to say.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, look I think yeah, hold on, hold on
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: a second, are don't go anywhere, Anthony. I was wanting
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: to provide the latest numbers that we have here. Karen
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Bass has thirty four point eight percent of the vote,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Spencer Pratt has thirty point four percent of the vote,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: and then the ramen Anitha Rahman, who's the councilorm it
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: has twenty two percent of the vote. So there's no
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: doubt this is going to the general and Karen Bass
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: is going to have some competition here. But those numbers
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: are not insurmountable. I mean, you know the numbers I'm
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: looking at right now, those are pretty impressive numbers for
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: a guy like Spencer Pratt, who is a political novice.
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I had some of the older numbers and I
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: guess that they got new numbers for that. But if
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: there's going to be cheating going on, and believe me,
• 18:46
  Speaker 8: they probably will, who's going to stop that. The Republicans
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: aren't going to have anybody down there to monitor those
• 18:53
  Speaker 8: spoiling places. I don't believe they would. So I think
• 18:57
  Speaker 8: that the Democrat Party they're just dirty. That's they'll do
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: whatever they can to win, and you got to kind
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: of admorrow them for that. But the Republicans, I wish
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: they'd hang together more often. But I guess we'll see, though,
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: won't we Well.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: We will, And Anthony, I appreciate you calling in. There
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: are a lot of very angry voters right now in
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles, very angry voters. And if Spencer Prant, if
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: he is able to win the day here and again,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: we've still got about fifty percent of the vote that's
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: got to be counted. If he can win the day
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: and make it to that runoff, I think this guy
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: may have a shot. But it is it is going
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: to it's it's going to be all hands on deck now.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: The state wide races Yeah, there's going to be a
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: lot of Democrat Shenanigans. These people are going to lie,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: cheat and steal, no doubt about it. The question is
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: how do the voters and how do the Republicans here
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: in California respond to that? Nine oh one two six
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six will be right back, all right,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody. This is the Ton Stearns Radio Show.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Just a moment if you will, of personal privilege. Just
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: got an email from our good text message actually actually
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: from our good buddy Lars Larson, and I have been folks.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Today has been an insane day. I started at the
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: crack of dawn, had a hit that we did on
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Newsmax two with our good friend Shannon Cake, then had
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: to sit down for an interview Newsmax Magazines doing a
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: big profile piece on yours Trullian, so we sat down
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: for that, then had to do a segment on Newsmax
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: one earlier today. So I've been a little busy and
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: we're trying to do the show prep and do all
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: these other kinds of things. Dylan, that's really no excuse,
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: but I've been a busy guy today.
• 20:59
  Speaker 10: You've been up earlier than I've ever seen you?
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: It is. I was at the crack o dawn. Here's
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: the problem. Everything in TV operates on East Coast time.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: We're Central time. Yeah, and it's hard. So I'm laying
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: there going, okay, am I did I wake up in time?
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Am I too late?
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: We pretty much operate on Eastern time now. We kind
• 21:17
  Speaker 10: of borrowed it from them because you know, we don't
• 21:20
  Speaker 10: have that luxury.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: So so I missed the news. That's so. Lars Larson
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: sends me a TEXTBI. He goes, dude, congratulations, I said,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: what did I do?
• 21:28
  Speaker 11: And?
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Uh? The Talkers Magazine Heavy hundred list has come out
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: every year they put out this list. It the The
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Talkers Talkers Magazine. Michael Harrison, the founder and editor in chief,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: just a great guy and a huge music dude. And
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Dylan I think he's coming to Memphis. I told him
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: we're going to take him with Stacks and you know

  Speaker 2: Yes he would. So Anyway, every year they were lea
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: the top one hundred most important radio talk show host
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: in America. And there are hundreds and hundreds of talk
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: radio hosts, maybe a thousand or more talk radio host
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: in America. And I want to read this to you
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: from the Talkers magazine piece. They said, aside from the
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: host who sheer, numbers and fame demand their inclusion on
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: the list, the selection process is subjective, with the goal
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: of being to create a list reflective of the industry's
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: diversity and total flavor, as well as giving credit where
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: credit is due. And the Todd Stern Show Ladies and
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Gentlemen is number twenty one on the list, So well
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: done to our team. We're right up there with Glenn
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Beck and Mark Levin, and Lars Larson, by the way,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: is on the list, and our good buddy Sean Hannity,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Clay Travis, good friend of mine, Dana Lesh. So I
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: want to congratulate all of our fellow broadcasters, and but
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: most of them probably I want to thank you. I mean,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: we have we really have the best listeners and all
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: of talk radio. You guys are fun. Many of you
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: are characters. You know how to have a good time

  Speaker 2: and have fun on the radio, and we would not
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: be able to do the show without you and without
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: you listening and supporting and sending us the kind words
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: and notes of encouragement. And we greatly appreciate that. And
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: it is an honor every single day to get behind
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: this microphone. And we take nothing for granted here. You know,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: we're not some sort of a big corporation, right. All
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: the people I just mentioned to you, they work for
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: the big corporations. We are the only and I take
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: great pride to this. We are the only independently owned
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: talk radio program on the heavy hundred list, and so
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: that means a lot. And so I say thank you
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: very much. I'm sure Elizabeth from Caltrin is going to
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: be reaching out. What do you mean heavy hundred? It's
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: a phrase, Elizabeth, and everybody else is pretty thin on
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: the list. But I'm slimming down. I'll be next year.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: I'll be the skinny guy on the heavy hundred list.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: How's that?
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: So?
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Anyway, all that to say, we're just honored, and so
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: thank you all the radio stations out there that carry
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: this program. God bless you. Thank you. We we work

  Speaker 2: to be Believe or not Harry Hurley. This is I
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: was almost a little nervous about this week because Harry
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Hurley was supposed to sit down and interview me for
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: this long, this in depth conversation at the Talker's Convention,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: which is this weekend in New York City. Unfortunately, Delan,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: my cardiologist says no travel for me right now, so
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: I'm grounded until further notice.
• 24:57
  Speaker 10: That's not That's not too bad of a thing.

• 25:10
  Speaker 10: That's pretty great?
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: And he's twenty five. We beat Howard Stern.
• 25:15
  Speaker 10: I forgot he was still even doing a show, honestly.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I was surprised he was still alive. And
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: we beat Ben Shapiro, who's at number twenty seven. I'm
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: just kind of going through or good buddy Jeff Kntz

• 25:42
  Speaker 2: We hope that what we do here, and it's not
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: just Dylan and Helen and Ian and we've got Jane.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: We have who does all of our imaging for us,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: the great Paul Shanklin, who writes our parody bits for
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: us and does a terrific job. We just have a
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: whole host of people that are that are a part
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: of what we do here, and and it's fun. We're
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: kind of like a mom and pop operation without a mom.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: We just have a pop operation. That sounds kind of
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: weird though.
• 26:11
  Speaker 10: We kind of have them all we do.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we will count miss Cheryl as the job. So
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: we'll count Misscherl brought the dog in. Oh there, Yes,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: she wrote the dog winned the Pooh. Yes, nine oh
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six. Speaking of Pooh,
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: by the way, uh, Scott Pelly has learned a very
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: important lesson. Scott Pelly from CBS News in New York City.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: They say he's one of the finest journalists in all
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: of America. A longtime host of sixty Minutes, Scott Pelly
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: learned a very important lesson yesterday. He learned that you
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: cannot go to your boss's office, storm into your boss's office,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: jump on top of the boss's desk, drop your pants,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: and poop on your boss's desk. You cannot do that
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: and keep a job. And that's in essence what Scott
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Pelly didn't know, Helen. He did not actually physically poop
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: on the desk, although that would have been entertaining. It
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: was a metaphor. Scott Pelly got fired yesterday, ladies and gentlemen,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: and it was a it was a beautiful thing, and
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: I know people are just enraged over this, but it
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: was ugly. What he did was so they've got a
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: brand new boss at sixty minutes and Scott Pelly storms
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: into the meeting when you're they're introducing the new boss,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: and Scott Pelly starts attacking the new boss, telling me
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: he's not qualified. You know, you can't carry my journalism
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: jog strap. I mean, it was like awful, terrible stuff. No,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: we didn't literally say that, Helen, but he it sort
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: of came across like that. So anyway. He's saying that.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: He accused the new owners of CBS, the new people
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: running CBS, of murdering the network, and a call with
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: CBS newstamfers on Wednesday, Barry Weiss defended Pelly's firing and
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: accused him of having broken a foundation of trust and
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: mutual respect. She said, despite our attempts to engage with
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Scott Pelly and trying to find a way back, unfortunately
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: we weren't able to do so and we had to
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: part ways last Wednesday. Pelly accused Weiss of lying to
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: CBS Newsaffer, saying there was no effort of any kind
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: to find a way back. Oh, I've got to read
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: what he wrote here. This is his this is his letter.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Jesus allude, this guy he does need an editor. Let
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: me see if I can't read through this for you.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Here we go. He says, there has never been anything
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: in America like sixty minutes. The Sunday Tradition is the
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: most successful program of any kind of history form more
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: than a decade. It's innovative growth on every major online
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: All right, let me get some good stuff here.
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: We go.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: He's accusing the new ownership of the network to curry
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: favor with the Trump administration, which is completely untrue. And
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: here we go. Last month, sixty Minutes lost its DNA
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: when our entire senior leadership and two of our best
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: on air correspondence were cruelly fired without cause. Good people
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: stood up for fairness against the forces of political bias.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: They stood for professionalism against chaos. All right, take a
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: breath there, dude. For my part, new management had instructed
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: I've been told to include assertions that are unverified. All right,
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: let me start up here for this. A moment when
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: I was back at Fox News and one of my
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: bosses had come to me and said, you are going
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: to have to inject something into your content that is
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: not true. You say no. If they insist, you resign,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: and then you go and call idlo CNNs, Brian Stelter,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: the little dwarf king potato head. That's what you do.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Scott Pelly didn't do that, you know why, because he's
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: making a bazillion dollars and he'd I'm gonna lose his job.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: So what are you talking about, Scott Pelly? It's crazy.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: So the fact of the matter is CBS is as
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: far left as they can possibly be, and Scott Pelly
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: is the worst of ours. This guy is sleeves. I mean,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: he really is. Look at what they try to do
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: to poor George W. Bush. Remember the National Guard story,
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: and they, I mean Dan Rather lost his job over that.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, these people are practicing journalism malpractice every single day.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. Now here's Scott Pelly. Here's everything you need
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: to know about Scott Pelley. He was giving a graduation note.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: He was interviewing for Liberty. You know what, let's do
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: the graduation stuff. I mean, so, first of all, we're
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: gonna play. We're gonna play what he said at a
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: graduation commencement exercise. We're right, it's supposed to be all
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: about you, the children of America, but Scott Pelly made
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: it all about himself. Take a listen.
• 31:18
  Speaker 12: But in this moment, this moment, this morning, our sacred
• 31:23
  Speaker 12: rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack,
• 31:30
  Speaker 12: universities are under attack, freedom of speech is underattack, and
• 31:38
  Speaker 12: insidious fear is reaching through our schools, our businesses, our homes,
• 31:51
  Speaker 12: and into our private thoughts. The fear to.
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: Speak in America.
• 32:00
  Speaker 12: God power can rewrite history with grotesque, false narratives. They
• 32:10
  Speaker 12: can make criminals heroes and heroes criminals. Power can change
• 32:18
  Speaker 12: the definition of the words.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: We un enough of that guy. You know what, don Pelly,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Nobody cares to know what your private thoughts are. You know,
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: just keep that to yourself, sir. But you notice the
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, this was like a dystopian speech. It was
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, Dylan and I had to
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: deliver the commencement address at the Christian School in North Carolina,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: and again the doctor would not let me go, so
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: I actually had to do it. We taped it right here.
• 32:45
  Speaker 10: Yes you did.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: It was a good speech.
• 32:48
  Speaker 10: You're one of those people that people love to listen
• 32:51
  Speaker 10: to during their graduation speeches. I know you've given multiple ones.
• 32:54
  Speaker 10: And your phiosophy is they just want to leave, right,
• 32:58
  Speaker 10: They just want.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: To get get out of there, and you do.
• 33:01
  Speaker 10: You make it short and sweet, and you make it
• 33:03
  Speaker 10: pretty good.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: And you make it about them. Yes, you don't make
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: it about yourself. You don't scare the living bijeebers out
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: of people. They want to go get their pictures made,
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: say goodbye to their friends and their classmates, and head
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: over to I don't know, the Ryan Steakhouse for the buffet, right,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: that's what it's. Nobody wants to sit there and listen
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: to somebody whining and moaning like they're taking away your speech.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: We're doomed, We're doomed. Nobody wants to hear that you're
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: graduating for crying out loud. But that's who Scott Pelley is.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: So anyway, good luck to CBS, and I hope they
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: can get their act together. I really do. I think
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: one of the most terrible things that happened at CBS
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: was they had to end their CBS Radio news service, which,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: by the way, from a news service, they did a
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: great job. Their politics sucked, and the way they approached
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: some of the culture war stories sucked. But if there
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: was like a tornado or I don't know, or a
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: hurricane or something loaded, yeah, they did a great job
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: with that, and I would have conversations. I know a
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: lot of these people, used to work with a lot
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: of them at Fox News, and I remember one day
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: talking to the head of CBS Radio News. And she
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: was a lovely lady, and I don't know what her
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: politics were, but she understood the problems that CBS was
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: having with the bias that was really infused into its DNA.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: And she understood that because they would get complaints from
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: radio stations. But that was the DNA of CBS News,
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: which is what Barry Weiss and her team are trying
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: to undo. So they're trying to it's almost like a
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: cancer and they're trying to excize that cancer from the newsroom.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: And I hope that they're successful because we do need
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: a strong press in this country. Scott Pelly is out
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: there now saying that he was a combat veteran because
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I didn't do this. He said he was
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: a combat veteran because he reported from war zones. That
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: does not make you a combat veteran, sir. That is
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: stolen valor. And shame on you for somehow comparing going
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: before a TV camera wearing makeup and hairspray and comparing
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: yourself to a guy out there who is trying to
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: blow up the bad guy. Uh uh, that's that's not
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: gonna fly. We got to take a break while this
• 35:27

• 39:05
  Speaker 2: All right, well, hello everybody, welcome to our two of
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: the Big Show. Great to have you with us today,
• 39:12

  Speaker 2: do for our industry. And they're just a wonderful source
• 39:59

• 40:09
  Speaker 2: good stuff. Well, I want to go to the Patriot
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Mobile newsmaker line. Speaking of great broadcasters, our good buddy
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: Jeff Stein from radio station k x e L, our
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: affiliate in Waterloo, Iowa, the blow torch of the Midwest.
• 40:25

• 40:29
  Speaker 13: We like to say Todd that it's from Washington State
• 40:32
  Speaker 13: to Washington, d C. And everybody in between. So, and
• 40:36
  Speaker 13: congratulations on making the list again, sir, well deserved.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Well, well, thank you. I appreciate that. And it's it's
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: fun and again, it's you know, we don't like to
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: toot our horn that much, but when we do toot,
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: we toot.
• 40:48
  Speaker 9: Well, this is this is deserving.
• 40:51
  Speaker 13: And I'm not sure how deep you want to go
• 40:53
  Speaker 13: with the tooting analogies, but we could talk about elections.
• 40:56
  Speaker 9: Those those laid some eggs last night.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: Well they did. But before we do that, Steyn, I
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: just want you to know something about our staff here.
• 41:05
  Speaker 10: Now.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: You sent us. You sent us an item which is
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: basically as it's kind of like the you know when
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: you're an English class, literature class, and they had like
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: the Bard, you know, Shakespeare, and the bust of Shakespeare.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: So we we have the bust of Jeff Stein from
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: radio station KXXL, and every morning before the show, our
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: staff comes in and it's kind of like a ritual
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: and they'll literally rub the head of Jeff Stein.
• 41:34
  Speaker 13: That you you're actually at fault for that because you
• 41:37
  Speaker 13: came to Waterloon. We did an event and one of
• 41:40
  Speaker 13: our great KXAL listeners who enjoys your program met you.
• 41:44
  Speaker 13: We got a picture taken and he got a three
• 41:48
  Speaker 13: D printer and decided to try it out. And all
• 41:51
  Speaker 13: of a sudden, I am handed at an event a
• 41:54
  Speaker 13: bust of myself, and I'm not sure if I was
• 41:57
  Speaker 13: pleased or mortified when the good listener said, I made
• 42:02
  Speaker 13: two and I sent one to Todd. So I all
• 42:06
  Speaker 13: I can tell you is it showed up one day
• 42:09
  Speaker 13: and you need to enhance security as you check your mail.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Well, let me say no, yes, we definitely need to
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: do that, But let me tell you it is is
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: it's it. Literally, it's you are with us. Your head
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: is with us in the control room every single show,
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: right next to the baby Yoda.
• 42:26
  Speaker 13: I could not ask for a higher honor halls of fame, Nay,
• 42:30
  Speaker 13: I am in the Starns control room next to you.
• 42:33
  Speaker 9: That's that's all I need.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: Uh, Jeff, we do need to talk politics, and there
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: was there was a lot happening. Of course, we've been
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: following the developments out of California. I'll get your take
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: on that momentarily. But also in Iowa a couple of big,
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: big races, and one of them involving Ashley Henson, who
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: I know I've talked to and interviewed a time or two.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: Give us a give us a lowdown of the the
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: big headlines out of Iowa last night.
• 43:00
  Speaker 13: Well, you've got an incumbent Congresswoman, Congresswoman Henson, who represents
• 43:04
  Speaker 13: northeast Iowa. She was born and raised in Central Iowa,
• 43:07
  Speaker 13: and she won the Republican nomination to succeed Republican Joani
• 43:12
  Speaker 13: Ernst who is retiring, and she is taking on a Democrat.
• 43:16
  Speaker 13: His name is Josh Tuik. He's currently a state lawmaker,
• 43:20
  Speaker 13: and he is Chuck Schumer's choice. And all the money
• 43:25
  Speaker 13: came in and all of the news releases have come
• 43:29
  Speaker 13: ever since last night when we've crystallized who it would be,
• 43:32
  Speaker 13: and so you've got a very stark choice between someone.
• 43:36
  Speaker 13: And I talked to both of them here in the
• 43:39
  Speaker 13: TV studio for my program before the primary. Mister Truik
• 43:43
  Speaker 13: likes to say that he is a prairie populist. Frankly,
• 43:46
  Speaker 13: he used that term so many times I thought it
• 43:48
  Speaker 13: was a drinking game. But in any event, that's what
• 43:52
  Speaker 13: he is using. He's a paralympian, he's a gold medal winner,
• 43:56
  Speaker 13: tremendous resume personally. But you could not have a more
• 44:01
  Speaker 13: stark choice, Todd, with regard to us Senate.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: You know, it is interesting. I know Ernest. You know
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: she's not running again. She's retiring, and you know, she
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: had come under fire from some conservative saying that maybe
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: she wasn't standing alongside the president enough. But when you
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: look at her record compared to like a Tom Tillis
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: or a Cassidy out a Louisiana, I mean, she's a
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: rock solid conservative.
• 44:26
  Speaker 13: She had some concerns about some of the Pentagon policies
• 44:30
  Speaker 13: as herself a service member in the past, and once
• 44:35
  Speaker 13: those were cleared up, she had no problem with nominations.
• 44:38
  Speaker 13: And yes, she has been a very solid supporter of
• 44:41
  Speaker 13: the president, a reliable vote, I would say. And so
• 44:45
  Speaker 13: that's the pitch that's being made by Congresswoman Hinson of saying,
• 44:50
  Speaker 13: remember two years ago, remember four years ago, how bad
• 44:54
  Speaker 13: things were. We cannot afford to go back. And that's
• 44:57
  Speaker 13: basically her message. I know, Washington, I'll continue the president's
• 45:02
  Speaker 13: policies and look over your shoulder, how bad it was
• 45:05
  Speaker 13: a short time ago.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's going to be interesting. How do you see
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: Iowa going here? I know Kansas, for example, Kansas, it's
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: a conservative state. They've got a super majority of Republicans
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: and the legislature, but they get squirrely and for you know,
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know, one year one election cycle, they're all Democrats.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: In the next minute, they're all Republicans.
• 45:27
  Speaker 13: I have said this to you and on this program.
• 45:31
  Speaker 13: I think if the election were held today, the Democrats
• 45:34
  Speaker 13: would flip the governor's chair. The Democrats would flip that
• 45:37
  Speaker 13: US Senate seat, and probably flip one of the four
• 45:40
  Speaker 13: congressional seats, all of which are currently held by Republicans.
• 45:44
  Speaker 13: Now that's not a shift, a blue wave or anything
• 45:48
  Speaker 13: of the nature. It's a matter of the individual candidates
• 45:53
  Speaker 13: and how long Republicans have held the seats. I mean,
• 45:58
  Speaker 13: for example, you go back to the governor chair in
• 46:00
  Speaker 13: Iowa sixteen consecutive years and there is a very well
• 46:04
  Speaker 13: financed opponent who has credibility already as the current state auditor.
• 46:11
  Speaker 13: It's a very tricky cycle. And so my point is
• 46:14
  Speaker 13: Iowa was still a red state. Those very key seats
• 46:18
  Speaker 13: may be problematic, but no one should get all upset
• 46:22
  Speaker 13: that I will, you know, flipped everything one year.
• 46:25
  Speaker 9: I think there may.
• 46:26
  Speaker 13: Be some problems with those key races, but it is
• 46:29
  Speaker 13: not indicative of the state as a whole.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: And again I think that that's where you complacency maybe
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: or just you know, wanting some change, you know, could
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: come back to bite you. But I am very curious
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: about California. I know they're still counting a lot of votes,
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: but I was pretty impressed with the Republican turnout yesterday.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: What about yourself.
• 46:50
  Speaker 13: I agree the fact that you've got somebody like Steve
• 46:53
  Speaker 13: Hilton in this goofy primary system they have being the
• 46:57
  Speaker 13: top vote getter, at least before the cheating begins, that
• 47:00
  Speaker 13: they'll recognize someone from the outside like Spencer Pratt, who
• 47:04
  Speaker 13: can come in and say the Emperor has no clothes.
• 47:07
  Speaker 13: They're definitely afraid of somebody like him getting into city Hall.
• 47:11
  Speaker 13: Same thing for Hilton and for some of us and
• 47:15
  Speaker 13: the rest of the country. We don't understand this goofy
• 47:17
  Speaker 13: primary system they have there because we're used to Republicans
• 47:20
  Speaker 13: versus Democrats. When you've rigged the system so that you
• 47:24
  Speaker 13: can shut a party out in November, that shows you
• 47:29
  Speaker 13: what monkey business has been going on in Sacramento. And
• 47:32
  Speaker 13: the fact that the voters have overcome the Shenanigans. That's
• 47:37
  Speaker 13: a very important thing, Todd.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: Jeff, I want to switch gears and call an audible.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Years ago, you and I actually first met. You may
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: not remember this, but it was you were the president
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: or you were the heading up the broadcasting association there
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: in Iowa back in the day, and you had the
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: big convention there at the casino and invited me to
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: come down. I was working at Fox News and you
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: asked him to come and be the speaker, and had
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: a wonderful time and just met a lot of great people.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: But all that to say, you're a journalism guy, and
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: you know, I know you dabble into punditry, but you're
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: a journalist, and I'm curious to get your take on
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: this Scott Pelly story that broke that broke last night.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, who talks like that to the boss for
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: crying out loud?
• 48:24
  Speaker 13: Somebody who wants to get fired and get out of
• 48:26
  Speaker 13: the contract. That's what it came down to to me,
• 48:28
  Speaker 13: is that he decided that he was above it all.
• 48:32
  Speaker 13: And this is not the first time he's been making
• 48:34
  Speaker 13: these graduation speeches that just don't make any sense. My
• 48:39
  Speaker 13: sense is that he was under contract and rather than
• 48:43
  Speaker 13: taking the check and fulfilling it, he decided he wanted
• 48:47
  Speaker 13: to make them fire him so that he can move
• 48:50
  Speaker 13: on to whatever else he wants to do. That no
• 48:52
  Speaker 13: one will watch and be the martyr of the whole thing's.
• 48:56
  Speaker 9: It's behavior that.
• 49:00
  Speaker 13: Even if you had a ceramic bust of yourself in
• 49:03
  Speaker 13: a control room in Memphis, I could never get away
• 49:06
  Speaker 13: with that.
• 49:07
  Speaker 9: You couldn't get away with that.
• 49:09
  Speaker 13: I think it was all orchestrated, and they called.
• 49:12
  Speaker 9: Him out on it.
• 49:14
  Speaker 13: You notice the new executive producer talked about his performative art,
• 49:19
  Speaker 13: the conversation, the historyonics. I mean, it was very calculated.
• 49:24
  Speaker 13: And you know, if Scott Pelly had brought the CBS
• 49:28
  Speaker 13: Evening News back from the depths, we wouldn't be having
• 49:32
  Speaker 13: this conversation. But they mustered him out of that role
• 49:35
  Speaker 13: pretty quickly, as you'll recall. And so this is just
• 49:37
  Speaker 13: a matter of a guy who says I'm going to
• 49:40
  Speaker 13: take a payout or I want to work somewhere else,
• 49:44
  Speaker 13: and I'm daring you.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: To fire me. Oh well, as a matter of fact,
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: I Rachel Maddow last night on PMS now was saying,
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: you know, come and work for us, and so I
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if he hads up over at PMS now.
• 49:58
  Speaker 13: Well once again, Witness Protection Program or MS now it's
• 50:02
  Speaker 13: got the same physicality.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: Wow, it really does. But again I go back to
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: you know, they talk about CBS being the gold standard,
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: and I do know on the radio side, I knew
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of those people. They're good, good workers. They
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: were not inserting political bias. But the problem was within CBS.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: It was built into the DNA, and they were raising
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: concerns as best as they could. And just for the record,
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: if you're on the radio side of a broadcast TV network,
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: yet you are the expendables. You're the expendable people, so
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: you don't necessarily want to draw a lot of attention.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: But they were raising a lot of concerns over the
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: past couple of years, and I know that because we
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: were having those kinds of conversations. So I really hate
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: it for him. But this has been going on for
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: a long time, all the way back at least in
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: my memory, to when they did that whole National Guard
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: George W. Bush thing that ended up getting Dan Rather fired.
• 50:57
  Speaker 13: There used to be a time go back to Murrow,
• 51:00
  Speaker 13: go back to Cronkite. They have certain views, but they
• 51:02
  Speaker 13: to check the war. And these days it is the
• 51:07
  Speaker 13: badge of honor if you go out and say that
• 51:11
  Speaker 13: you're taking a stand. No journalism is supposed to be
• 51:14
  Speaker 13: you tell us what's happening, and we the public can
• 51:18
  Speaker 13: view various sources and make a determination about what's going on.
• 51:23
  Speaker 13: But you know, that's the problem with places like Fox
• 51:26
  Speaker 13: News where they have opinion shows at night. Well, during
• 51:29
  Speaker 13: the daytime, it's straight news, But how does an audience
• 51:32
  Speaker 13: member separate it. That was the problem with CBSTV and radio.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: As you know, you're gonna, yeah, I don't, you don't
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: have to weigh on this. I'm going to stick my
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: own neck out there on this one. You know what, conservative,
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: these these new conservative digital journalists, they are just as bad,
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: if not worse. And I say that because I see
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: what they're doing, and they're going out and they're not
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: just covering these these stories, these protests, they're making themselves
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: the story. And for example, there was one guy, you know,
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: armed with a microphone and you know it was like
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: I got attacked by the musclim mob. Well, yet he'd
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: left out the part where he literally, as he was broadcasting,
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: burned a copy of the Koran and their faces and
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: they responded. You know, so again I've I've got there's
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: a big there's also a problem developing on the conservative
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: side of the aisle. And we got it. We got
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: to call it all out.
• 52:23
  Speaker 9: Oh absolutely.
• 52:24
  Speaker 13: And again, you want as large an audience as you
• 52:27
  Speaker 13: can attract, whether it's online on the air, but you.
• 52:30
  Speaker 9: Do it through good work.
• 52:32
  Speaker 13: You don't throw it through stunts that then make the
• 52:35
  Speaker 13: public believe something that isn't true. And again, clicks, that's fine.
• 52:40
  Speaker 13: That's a metric. Honor and trustworthiness that's the better metric.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, sin all right, Jeff Stein. We've got to
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: leave it there, my friend, and we always appreciate your
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: great work, and we also appreciate the fact that you
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: put this radio show on your radio station. Thank you
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: so much for doing that.
• 53:00
  Speaker 13: It is a fan favorite, Todd, and we'll keep doing
• 53:03
  Speaker 13: it as long as they let.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: All right, we got to figure out next time I come.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: I'm guess I'm gonna eat a salad. I guess the
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: porkloins are.
• 53:12
  Speaker 13: So are you saying I should not invite you to
• 53:14
  Speaker 13: the July barbecue luncheon this year?
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: Well, I didn't say that. I mean, okay, all right,
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: I'm not a monk.
• 53:23
  Speaker 9: All right, salad it is, sir, I'll do it.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: Just yeah, you put the salad on the sandwich, and
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: so that'll make it good, you know, all right, Jeff
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: Stunning everybody. K x c L great radio station. If
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: you haven't been let me put it this way, if
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: you haven't been to Waterloo or Cedar Rapids or Cedar Falls,
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: and they're all kind of they're all there sort of together.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: You gotta go. What a fun what a fun group
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: of towns, great people. The food is off the charts, insane,
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: and you'll be able to maybe I don't know, Jeff
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: Stin'll give you a tour of k xCl there in
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: downtown Waterloo. Gotta take a break here, folks. Nine oh
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two. So this is
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: the Todd Stearns Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. This
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Glad to have you
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: with us today. Our telephone number nine oh one two
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: six zero five, nine two six. That's nine oh one
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: two six zero five to nine two six. Oh. Here's
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: President Trump. He was doing a podcast. You know Jill Biden, who,
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: by the way, has now admitted she's not a doctor.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: I thought we've been calling your doctor, missus first Lady
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden for years, but now she's saying she's not
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: a doctor. That's why she didn't know what to do
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: after she thought her husband had a stroke and the
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: President Trump was weighing in on this cut number twenty seven.
• 54:51
  Speaker 14: I think the debate was very interesting, though, because you know,
• 54:54
  Speaker 14: the man was was he was a bad debater anyway, yes,
• 54:58
  Speaker 14: but he certainly was an his game that night. But
• 55:01
  Speaker 14: I think I put him off his game. I think,
• 55:03
  Speaker 14: you know, so, I have a friend who was in
• 55:06
  Speaker 14: a big golf tournament and he played great, and his
• 55:11
  Speaker 14: primary competitor didn't play great, and they always blamed it
• 55:14
  Speaker 14: on the other primary competitor. He said, but nobody ever
• 55:16
  Speaker 14: talks about the fact that I played great well. I
• 55:20
  Speaker 14: mean I had a great debate, and I think that
• 55:24
  Speaker 14: that contributed to Joe not doing well because Joe was
• 55:26
  Speaker 14: all right. People saw him before the debate and he
• 55:29
  Speaker 14: was fine. I wouldn't say it was Winston Churchill, but
• 55:32
  Speaker 14: he was fine. He was all right.
• 55:34
  Speaker 5: He went to a waffle house that night.
• 55:36
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, so she said he had a strug,
• 55:38
  Speaker 14: But why would she bring him to a waffle house
• 55:40
  Speaker 14: if he had a strug?
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: Dylan, this is a good question. I remember when you know, I,
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: you know, had my condition, you know, and the cardiologist said, Todd,
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: I need you to go right away to the hospital.
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: He didn't say make a side trip to the waffle
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: house for some scattered, covered and smothered. He said, you
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: got to get right to the hospital.
• 56:01
  Speaker 10: It's a pretty good observation.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: I just want to point that out.
• 56:04
  Speaker 10: Hey, maybe waffle house has something we don't.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: Know about well, or they were trying to get the
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: early bird special. Yep, you know they're not spring chickens.
• 56:12
  Speaker 10: I mean, it's pretty cheap, so if you're gonna go,
• 56:14
  Speaker 10: you might as well go that way.
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: By the way, I have a question to ask our
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: listeners because I got something in the mail yesterday and
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: they said, Dylan, this is great. They said, Todd, are
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: you aware because you're over the age of fifty now
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: or are you aware that you can get discounts at
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: and they listed the restaurants. You just have to show
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: your ID.
• 56:34
  Speaker 10: That's I mean, you can look at that both ways.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: Honestly, here's my question to all of you folks over
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: fifty would you do that? Would you when you're going
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: up to McDonald's, would you tell them that you've got
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: you've got a thirty percent discout coming because you're over
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: the age of fifty or would you just you know,
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: keep that to yourself. Nine oh one two six zero
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: five nine two six our number, that's nine oh one
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: two six zero five nine. If it was Chick fil A,
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: because he's got a little pricey over there at Chick
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: fil A, I might do that. I don't know what.
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: Say you all right? Good to have you with us,
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen. This is the Todd Strange Radio Show.
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: And again a very special thank you to Talkers magazine
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: naming this program as number twenty one on their list
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: of the top one hundred news talk shows in America.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: So we're kind of happy about that. So look, the Democrats,
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, are the party of perverts. That is
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: why there has been very little outrage over Graham Platner.
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: He is the US Senate candidate from Maine, the guy
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: involved in the sexting scandal. He messaged multiple women on
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: an app called Kick and Kick is known as a
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: predator's Paradise. His wife actually discovered the messages and a
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: order of the campaign. Then there were the Reddit posts.
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: He mocked a purple Heart recipient, blamed victims of sexual assault,
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: saying it was their fault. And of course so there
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: was a Nazi tattoo. He said he'd been drinking at
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: the time. That's that was the excuse there. And it's
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: interesting because many high profile Democrats are standing alongside this guy.
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: A Platner's wife is rushing to her husband's defense, saying
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: that they're working with three therapists. And it just seems
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: to me, Dylan, if your spouse has a VIP card
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: to Predator's Paradise, you don't need a therapist, you need
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: a good divorce attorney.
• 58:35
  Speaker 10: Yeah. I would have to agree with that.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, I will say this for the Democrats. I mean,
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: behind every cloud is a silver lining. And maybe the
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: silver lining is that Grand Platner has not been driving
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: girls to parties over at chap Equitick. I don't know.
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: I want to go to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: Say lord, our good friend, the great Columbist Liz Peak,
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: Liz hope you're doing well today.
• 58:59
  Speaker 15: Hey, glad to join you. Thank you. I'm fine.
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: You know, Liz, it's interesting. I know you've got a
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: piece that you just shared about the Democrats and they're
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: facing this. I mean, it is really a socialist reckoning.
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: I like how you phrased this.
• 59:16
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean it's just kind of bewildering, isn't it.
• 59:19
  Speaker 15: I mean, the Democrats have really let their party be
• 59:22
  Speaker 15: taken over by anti American, anti Semitic, anti capitalist candidates,
• 59:28
  Speaker 15: and the reason is that's where the money and the
• 59:30
  Speaker 15: energy is coming from. But you have these ridiculous situations
• 59:34
  Speaker 15: like Chuck Schumer, Senate minority leader, Jewish politician from New York,
• 59:40
  Speaker 15: a state that has a very large Jewish population, that
• 59:43
  Speaker 15: now met with a fellow you're talking about, Graham Platner
• 59:48
  Speaker 15: and who sports the Nazi tattoo, is pronouncedly anti Israel, etc.
• 59:54
  Speaker 15: And Schumer said that's okay, because we really need a
• 59:57
  Speaker 15: seat in the Senate. I mean, Schumer and is completely
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 15: the face of the scared Democrat establishment that does not
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 15: want to take on the far left, don't want to
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 15: confront the grand Platners of their party because Schumer himself
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 15: is worried about being primary by Alexandro Cotio Cootees from
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 15: New York, who's far left, of course, a member of
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 15: the squad, and he's afraid of her. I mean, it's
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 15: pretty staggering. Chuck Schumer's been in this game a long
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 15: long time, taken tons of money from pro Israel lobbying
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 15: groups like APAK, and yet he can't He doesn't have
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 15: the guts to stand up and say what you're talking
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 15: about is wrong. And here's the thing, it is wrong,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 15: Todd if you just look at the absolute. Okay, so
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 15: you're a grand Patner and you're accusing Susan Collins of
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 15: taking money from APAC, which is the pro Israel group.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 15: Who are you taking money from. Who's the other side
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 15: of that trade? Are you supporting Iran? Are you supporting
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 15: from US and the other proxies that have been anti
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 15: Israel and war with Israel for decades, who are committed
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 15: to their extinction? Is that who you're lining up with?
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 15: Because I think put in those terms, most Americans would say, no, guys, no,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 15: thank you. I don't believe in this. It's sort of
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 15: weird to me that Republicans I'm not figured out a
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 15: way to go after these guys and say, Okay, this
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 15: is really binary. You read to support Israel in its
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 15: battle with terrorist activities in the Middle East because that's
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 15: what they're up against every day and every night, or
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 15: you are siding with the bad guys on the other side.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 15: That's really what it is. And don't talk to me
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 15: about the Palestinian people. You don't even know about the
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 15: Palestinian people. And they are represented by hamas a terror
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 15: organization that doesn't allow homosexuality, doesn't allow any freedom of
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 15: choice or rights, who steals aid money to buy weapons.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 15: I mean, these are really bad guys. As I say,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 15: it's time for people to kind of say, Okay, who
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 15: do you support in this conflict, because it's one or
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 15: the other. You can't do both.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: No, I think you're absolutely right there. I want to
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: switch gears, Liz Well, before we switch gears California. It
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: just it's bewildering to me that in this modern society,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: you know, in Florida, for example, they can count all
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: of their votes and you know, the same night and
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: we're looking at maybe days before California gets around to
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: counting all the ballots.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 15: Which makes everybody. It gives them Republicans fives because you
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 15: kind of imagine all these people in back room somewhere
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 15: checking out the boxes, going to the nursing homes and say,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 15: wait a minute, didn't Shooston in this. Should we post
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 15: date this?
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 15: Maybe that's unfair. But I really it's very alarming to
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 15: me that they take so long they figure out how
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 15: many votes they need.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 15: And you know, some people think they create those votes.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 15: I don't know, honestly, but I think it's absurd not
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 15: to just have voting day. All the ballots that are
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 15: in by voting day, those count, All others do not count.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 15: Let's make it simple, folks, Let's make it transparent. And
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 15: the thing about California, and again, I don't want to
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 15: charge California with voting irregularities, but that's a state one
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 15: of many where if you sign up for a driver's
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 15: license as a for example, non citizen, you can get
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 15: a driver's license and there's an automatic voter registration. You
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 15: know that there are hundreds of thousands of people who
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 15: are registered to vote in California who should not vote.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 15: And California legislators say, oh, you know, no, but they
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 15: know it's illegal, really, don't. I mean, come on, let's
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 15: be real about the possibility of pretty significant numbers of
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 15: people voting in California who should not be voting.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, said a Liz Pete joining us on our
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile news maker line. I also noticed that you
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: were sharing some thoughts about Scott Pelley on a social
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: media list. I just I can't imagine who in their
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: right mind would I don't care who you are, Walter Cronkite,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: I don't think you would go in and do what
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: Scott Pelley did.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 15: I think they just it is interesting to me that
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 15: these left wing entertainer entertainers like Jimmy Kimmel or left
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 15: wing newscasters like Scott Pelly have such an inflated view
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 15: of their own importance, like they're irreplaceable. Guess what, He's
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 15: not irreplaceable. And you know, I gave some thought to
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 15: writing about this today because I can remember episodes of
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 15: Sixty Minutes that were so biased and so completely wrong.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 15: For example, do you remember when they I think it
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 15: was Leslie Stall did a piece about the Lincoln Project,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 15: which of course is the anti Trump group supposedly headed
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 15: by Republicans, but it never really was a Republican group
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 15: opposing Trump. It was past Democrats pretending to me Republicans
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 15: that were opposing Trump. And she never went into any
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 15: of that. I mean, it was so superficial and so
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 15: one sided. And that's the kind of reporting and the
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 15: story that a lot of people on the right, like myself,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 15: really have taken umber chat. Of course, there was a
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 15: famous episode where Leslie said, oh, well, you know, the
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 15: Hunter Biden laptop wasn't real, et cetera. You know, that's
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 15: not journalism, that's opinion making. And that's fine. I mean,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 15: there's a place for that, But don't hold yourself up
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 15: as this model of veracity and even handedness when you're not.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 15: And don't rail about how the owner of the network
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 15: is influencing editorial decisions. Do they not think over of
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 15: the New York Times historically has influenced editorial decisions, the
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 15: editor I mean, the head of CNN, Turner, wasn't he
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 15: influencing editorial decisions? Of course these people do. So it's
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 15: just that they've lost they've lost some of the backing
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 15: of the big money guys in America because guess what,
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 15: their policies are so nuts and so anti business. And
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 15: now these people are like Jeff Besas taking over Washington Post,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 15: Larry Ellison, etc. They're buying news media organizations and maybe
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 15: influencing how those organizations, by the way, try to appeal
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 15: to all audiences, not just those on the left, which
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 15: seems to me like a pretty reasonable business decision.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: Well, no, I'm with you as well, and no doubt
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: about it. I just think people need to be honest
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: and open about it.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: If your opinion and you're coming from a certain perspective,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: that's fine, just tell your people about it. I don't
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: have a problem with that, Liz. We're going to have
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: to leave it there. Love the website. Did you guys
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: think he did an upgrade or something? That's really nice
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: lizpe dot com.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 15: It's been several months, but I'm glad you mentioned it.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 15: Thank you. It's much better. It was so bad before
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 15: that anything would have been enough. But this is a
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 15: pretty significant upgrade. So thank you. Yeah, everything I do
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 15: in some stuff that is done for me is at
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 15: lizpeak dot com. I appreciate you mentioning it.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: All things liz Peak, including that great column Democrats face
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: the Socialist Reckoning. You'll be able to read that lizpeak
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: dot com watch your great videos on Fox as well.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: All right, Liz, great to hear from you.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 15: Thank you. Thanks for having me. Take care.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, that's I want to find out who
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: did our website. That's really sharp. All right, we've got
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: to take a break here, opening up the lines. How
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: do you feel about what's happening in California right now? Folks?
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: Again there's a little unease, but right now, man, do
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: the Republicans look good? Nine oh one two six zero
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. That's nine oh one two six
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. One thing for certain, one
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: of the five seats that the Democrats thought they were
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: going to be able to flip in Congress, they were
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: not able to do so. The top two vote getters
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: turned out to be Republicans. So that is a big
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: victory and what we can certainly celebrate that. Nine oh
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six. This is
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: the Todd Sterns Show. Yeah, Dylan again, if I'm getting
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: a discount, I think I'm gonna go ahead and do it.

• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: got to you to do this or that if you

  Speaker 10: Yes, so I mean if which restaurants would you go?
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 10: Would you go to like the most favorite ones? Now
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 10: that you know that you can get a discount.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: Oh well, I don't know about that. I'm going to
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: be like Applebee's. I think Applebee's was on the list.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that'd be good.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at this now. Restaurants that give discounts to
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: old people wait a second, to fifty five and older. Geeze,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: I hate writing this. This is their Oh, Denny's, I'm
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: not surprised Denny's. I hop in Chili's. Oh wait a second,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: wait a second. We got Hardy's on the list. Yeah,
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: definitely Hardy's.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 10: This is a this is a wide variety of options
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 10: for you.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: So you get fifty two and above, you get the
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: discount at Hardy's and Jack in the Box, which isn't
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: that the same restaurant. Isn't Jack in the Box the
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: same as Hardy's. I thought that was churches and Carls Junior. No,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: churches is like churches? Is a chicken joint?
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 10: I haven't been, so I don't know.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: May I just ask I'm just gonna ask this. If
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: you were like classifying, if demographically classifying the fast food
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: chicken joints. I think you've got like Chick fil A,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: which is like suburban, yeah, and then you've got Popeyes, yes,
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: and then KFC. And then if you're going to churches
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: you need a gun and kevlar. I've never seen so
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: many Dodge chargers in a dry.

• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: And if I'm wrong, somebody can let me know here.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: But I think that's in my mind. If you're in
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: a church's, you're in a bad part of town.

  Speaker 10: usually two.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: Patties, that's it, and they don't put mustard on it.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 10: And they don't.

• 1:12:22

• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: don't feel my age. And I've never really felt like
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: I was supposed to be an older person. I just
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: feel pretty, you know, you know, healthy and vibrant. That
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: could be the community coffee.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 10: You should just keep that up forever. I mean, you'll
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 10: never feel I mean you may feel physically old, but
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 10: like mentally and spiritually, you may feel young.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, did I ever tell you about the Oh

  Speaker 10: Oh, I mean what are they doing? Are they consuming
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 10: just copious amounts of benadryl.
• 1:13:52

• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: interesting stories, and one of them being that the governor
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: of Washington State that's out on the left coast, Bob Ferguson,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: has signed an executive order. Now, before I get to
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: the executive order. I want to talk to the beautiful
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: women of the Tom Seerns Radio show listening audience, and ladies,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: you know me, I'm just a lovable curmudget on the radio,
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: kind of like a big cuddly teddy bear. And I
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: do love you, ladies, I truly do. But I remember
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: back in the day when the women of America, when
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: they were not in the workforce, they were domestic goddesses.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: They stayed at home, they were the housewives, if you will.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: And the ladies, you remember these days when you got
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: up in the morning and you got your hair done
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: up and your makeup, and you put on the lipstick
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: and the beautiful dress and the high heel shoes, and
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: then you put on your apron and you made breakfast
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: from scratch for your husband and the children and sent
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: them off on their way. And then you, still wearing
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: the beautiful dress and the high heels, you began to
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: do housework. Does any of this sound remotely familiar with
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. I'm just I'm just asking, by the way,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: can I ask a question here. I'm I'm really in
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of trouble right now with the ladies of
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: the audience, But I do have a question for you, ladies,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: at least that's how we saw it on like Leave
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: It to Beaver and all the other TV shows of
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: the nineteen fifties and sixties. Was it really like that,
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: ladies of America? Did you really? I mean, because when
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: you look at all of the like the TV ads
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: and all of those things, the women of America were
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: very content. I mean they were they got gussied up
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: to I don't know, vacuum the carpet. Dylan, I want
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: you to go ask your wife tonight when you go home.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 10: That might be the worst idea yet.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: Actually, honey, you want to go to some high heels
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: as you scrub the toilets.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that couch sounds really comfortable.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, the couch in somebody else's house.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah. Street.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: But anyway, then along comes the Feminazi movement, and you've
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: got the what is that the gals the National Association
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: of Gals Nags as Russia Limbaugh used to call them.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: And they all went back to work, and so everybody's
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: go all the women are going into the workforce, and
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: they're leaving behind the homes and they're going to be
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: men because they wanted what was the what was the buzzword?
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: What was the buzzword? Equal rights? Right?
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 10: That was it?
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: Equal rights? Well, now here we are in the twenty
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: first century, and it turns out that the Feminazis in
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: the workplace are now demanding special rights. This today from
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: Washington State Governor Bob Ferguson. Today I signed an executive
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: order to support women in the workplace who experience menopause.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: This will ensure my cabinet agencies have appropriate measures in
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: place to support state employees experiencing menopause symptoms. As governor,
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: my administration will be a place where workers can serve
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: the people of Washington and know they will be supported.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: We'll share this expertise and guidance with employers all across
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: our state. We believe this is one of the most
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: comprehensive single pieces of policy put forward to date, combining
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: worker protections with increasing health profession education on menopause. Now,
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: what I find interesting about all of this is that
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: here is the Governor, Bob Ferguson, and he's announcing this
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: special legislation for women, and yet the governor cannot actually
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: define what a woman is. What's up with that? Meanwhile,
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, there are. There are more stories coming out,
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: this one from Washington, d C. Where Democrat lawmakers had
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: a press conference on how much their periods hurt. These
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: are all females, we think how much their periods hurt.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: And they say it is economic violence when employers don't
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: pay women to stay home from work when they are
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: menstreaming so so now instead of equal rights in the workplace,
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: the women of America are now demanding special treatment and
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: they want do they want paid time off? Is that
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: what they're is that what they're getting at here? And
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know it's I mean, that's they're calling it
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: her agenda. Listen to women in the exam room. Were
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: Shida Tleeb among others, holding a press conference in Washington,
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: D C. And they're talking about how much their period's hurt.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: And again it is a form of economic violence when
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: they are not allowed to get a paid day off
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: when they go through the how is that the word
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: ladies days? As they say, let's go to Anna in Dalanaga, Georgia.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: Listen to us today, Anna, how are you?
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 16: How are you?
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I think you're about to tell me
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: how good I'm doing. And I feel like I'm in
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: walking through a landmine right now, a landfill.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 8: No.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 17: Well, here's the thing. I'm seventy five years old, so
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 17: I was born in fifty one. My mom never does
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 17: that stuff. I didn't do that stuff. My daughters don't
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 17: do that stuff, and they're in their fifties. And it's
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 17: just an It was like the old full social media.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 17: That's what they wanted. It was like pie in the
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 17: sky bs stuff that just never ever happened. Now. But
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 17: my stay home h she you were for time, but
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 17: she uh, you know, she's a good Catholic girl. She
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 17: had her kids, and but we never did that stuff.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 17: We never. And as far as to leave in Omar,
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 17: they're insane, I mean, they're just not even you know,
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 17: here's what you need to tell to leave. You've already
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 17: got your paid lead him done darn things and she
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 17: got there. That adds up to anything that makes any sense.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 17: And I'm hoping that they're gonna get rid of those
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 17: two nuts up shortly. But out of those people like
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 17: crying about their periods, that's what what that just it
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 17: just doesn't make any sense to me. None of this
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 17: stuff makes any sense.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: No if none of it makes none of it makes sense.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: And my question would be, all right, well, what about
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: the co workers? Did they get any sort of relief?
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 17: I know, I know, that's right, God, especially of those
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 17: two crazy females.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 11: Oh yeah, yeah, my god.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 17: I'm just praying at they're gonsense. But we'll see. But
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 17: as far as you know, at least they put it
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 17: across nicely. Back in the day, that was before you
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 17: were born, when you were just a twinkle in your
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 17: daddy's eyes. But that was a long time ago, God,
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 17: and now you know that none of that made any
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 17: sense back then, and it doesn't now. We just as females,
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 17: we used to laugh about it because, you know, my
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 17: mom my mo I just didn't do any of this stuff,
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 17: and none of my friend's.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 15: Mom either at all.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: Well, I it's uh, look, it's I was born in
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: sixty seven, and I know my mom was not. You know,
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: I think that those days had already passed. But it
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 2: was like, you know, to leave it to Beaver. I mean,
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: Hollywood was really trying to establish the ideal sort of
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: you know, domestic goddess, you know, a housewife. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: remember June Cleaver.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 17: I would have loved to have been I always worked
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 17: you know, I went to school and I was in
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 17: the service. I went to school, uh and had my
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 17: children young like we did back in the day that
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 17: I had my first child when I was twenty one.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 17: In my second LF is twenty four. Now they wait
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 17: until they're like in midlife dad kids. But you know,
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 17: it's just a whole different worlds. You know, it's a
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 17: very very very very worried about this culture. If there
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 17: is a culture, I'm very worried about it. But the
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 17: females have lost their minds.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: It's it's really shocking. And and I know you don't
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: mean that as a joke. I mean when you look
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: at the young ladies of America, I mean, this is shocking.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: There was a survey a couple of anna, thank you
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: for the call. There's a survey a couple of days
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: ago about more guys, guys are are more, are more
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: devoted to their religion than they are to girls. And
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: the reason why, I mean, when you look, you know,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: look at what's happening out there. I mean, these some
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: of these gals are just man haters. I mean, it's
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: horrible what the culture has done, what the education system
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: has done to this generation of young people. But that
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 2: being said, I do think when you look at the
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: the younger side of Z, these are kids, They're coming
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: out of college, they're getting married, they're already starting to
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: have babies. Something is going on. There's a the younger
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: side of gen Z is much much more conservative. I
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: think there was one study, what was that. We talked
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 2: about this a couple of months ago. One study said
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: they're actually on par with being just as conservative as
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: their great great grandparents were back during the Greatest Generation.

  Speaker 2: I grew up in the seventies and eighties. Menstruating are
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 2: not your ass is going to school work because it's
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: natural to every woman. This has to do with something
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: with those rainbow crowds and mixed up alphabet no offense
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 2: one habit of these females that were born after the
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighties. Did they turn into a bunch of ansis

• 1:35:23
  Speaker 16: Yeah, because he's incredibly popular and he deserves it, right,
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 16: I mean, he has accomplished so much.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 5: He's widely popular with our base.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 2: I've always I've always been puzzled by Kansas. I can't
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 2: figure you guys out in your politics. One election cycle,
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: you guys are going Democrats the next Republicans, and I'm
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: wondering what is it going to take to win in
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: the fall.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of hard work.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 16: I mean, we're we have a record of kind of
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 16: populism almost that we what it is is we're so Republican.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 16: The Republicans stand around and beat each other upright, So
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 16: like our current Democrat governors never had fifty percent of
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 16: the vote, and we call our governor and she's won
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 16: twice because of them. We divide ourselves up. So it
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 16: takes hard work and unifying the party.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 2: I think it's interesting though, because Kansas also has been
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 2: pretty central to a lot of the I don't know,
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 2: some people will call them what culture war battles that
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: the Republicans have been waging over the years. So I mean,
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: at its heart, I would think that Kansas is a
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 2: is a pretty conservative state. Am I Am I missing
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 2: something there?
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 5: No, you're not missing something.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 10: We are.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 16: We are a very conservative state and that's you've seen
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 16: that in our records that the legislature is a super
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 16: majority Republican. Not always functional, it became a lot more
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 16: functional after twenty twenty four was an amazing.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 5: Election for us.
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 16: You know, my role as president of the Senate here,
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 16: it made things a lot easier to accomplish.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 2: I know we've we've had Dalton Glasgock on this show
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: quite a bit. Of course, he runs my company. He's
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 2: his other job is to be the vice mayor of Wichita, Kansas,
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 2: and he speaks very highly of you. I'm wondering what
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: it's going to take to win. What is it that
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: you are here from your constituents there in Kansas.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 16: Well, it's a huge it's a huge benefit to have
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 16: President Trump's endorsement, right. That is because you don't in politics,
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 16: in elections, you don't always know the person well, but
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 16: you trust people that do. And I've got a record.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 16: The one thing, this is the reason President Trump supports me.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 16: I'm I'm the battle test and proven conservative leader and
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 16: with a record right in the relationship to accomplish things
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 16: day one. People that are, you know, enamored by the
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 16: shiny next thing, they that's a gamble. And so President
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 16: Trump look at the effectiveness of President Trump term two
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 16: when he had the operational knowledge. He is just amazing
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 16: what he's been able to do. And I'm just so
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 16: proud to stand with him.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 2: But again going back to aside from the Trump endorsement,
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 2: what is it that that you're hearing from voters? What
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 2: are the concerns on their minds they're in Kansas.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 16: Oh, the big the big thing here in Kansas right now,
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 16: number one issue everywhere is we're in a bit of
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 16: a property tax crisis. I mean literally, I mean we
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 16: have people paying gentlemen cross Street from doubled in his
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 16: property taxes alone than he did for his mortgage, interest,
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 16: insurance and taxes combined when he paid his house off.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 16: And he's literally on the verge of losing his home.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 16: And so we have and you know, first time home
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 16: by our age is now over forty and that's that's
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 16: tearing away our young people's ability you know, home ownerships
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 16: to underpinning of.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 5: The middle class.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 16: So that is by far the number one issue that
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 16: we're facing in Kansas.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 5: We also have to deal with education too.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 16: We're stumbling like like many other states are, and we
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 16: have to we have to have our kids with the
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 16: opportunity to learn, you know, we Literacy is an issue.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 16: So those are the big two and they've been third rails, right,
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 16: I mean and difficult, but we're going to handle those.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 2: I know that Florida Governor Ronda Santus has really been
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: on the on the soapbox when it comes to property taxes,
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: and they're looking at doing something in the way of
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 2: property tax relief there in Florida. In Tennessee, for example,
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: in the Nashville area, a lot of small business owners
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 2: are literally being forced to shut their doors because they
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 2: simple we cannot afford the property taxes anymore. What what
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 2: what sort of plans are are you concocting to help
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 2: the good people of Kansas.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 16: You know, you have to you have to basically put
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 16: guardrails on both sides of what's happening. The difficulty is,
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 16: you know, property tax particularly in Kansas one hundred percent
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 16: driven by local spending and the local governments and entities.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 16: And so from the state level, what we have to
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 16: do is put restrictors on it. I mean, we need
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 16: a constitutional amendment, honestly to limit we'd passed through the
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 16: Kansas Senate a constitutional amendment to go on the ballot
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 16: that would have backed everybody's values up to twenty twenty two,
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 16: you know, kind of the beginnings of COVID before I
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 16: went crazy, and then impose a three percent limit in
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 16: growth and we but the House. It didn't make it
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 16: through the House, but that is the plan. We plan
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 16: to put restrict on the front side, but we also
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 16: need revenue limterters on the backside so they can't just
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 16: jack it up at the local level without the voice
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 16: of the people.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's what it's about. And we've got to
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: you know, and especially older homeowners, there's got to be
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: some sort of relief for them. But as you mentioned,
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: also younger, younger Americans, and you know, we hear the
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 2: buzzword affordability. It's really something when you I mean, and
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: the trends bear this out and you just said it.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 2: A lot of young people are not getting their very
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: first home, that starter home, until they're in their late
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: thirties early forties.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 16: Literally, the average first time home by our age cresten
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 16: forty last year, I think the last quarter forty two.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's we.
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 16: Are robbing young people of their ability to gain net worth.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 16: That's how most average Americans gain and net worth is
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 16: through home ownership. And so I have six children and
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 16: they all don't have the same ability I had at
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 16: their age, And so that's why I'm running for GOAT.
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 16: I have a vested interest in making sure this takes
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 16: a great place for my kids to raise their families.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 2: You know, you mentioned education, and of course, back in April,
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 2: the Department of Education US Department of Education found that
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 2: a number of school districts at least four are currently
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 2: violating federal law with these gender inclusive policies. A number
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 2: of schools around Kansas have been trending on social media
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 2: over the past week or so with the whole Pride
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 2: Month celebrations. Is that is that an issue that that
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 2: concerns you? And what would you do if anything, if
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 2: you're elected governor?
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 5: Oh, absolutely concerns me.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 16: I mean, it's that's why I'm running against the Democrats
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 16: because they've become a woke party, right, I mean, the
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 16: party of permanent high energy costs and open borders and
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 16: and and woke agenda. We've I've been battling that for
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 16: a while. We were one of the first states to
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 16: protect our girls' sports, you know, and ban those crazy
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 16: surgeries from children, and so we had an issue here
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 16: with this governor that she was allowing them to change
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 16: their sex marker on their birth certificates and their driver's
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 16: license and actually ended up with death threats over that.
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 16: So I've been in that battle for a while. It
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 16: is incredibly important. And you tie that into education. Uh
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 16: we're indoctrinating children and we have to we have to
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 16: we have to make sure we can prevent it.
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 2: Well, no doubt about that. Uh Ty, We're gonna We're
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 2: gonna leave it there. Where can people go if they
• 1:42:03

• 1:43:46
  Speaker 2: I had absolutely no idea that that sort of thing
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 2: actually even existed. So that's that's why I was really
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 2: intrigued by it.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 14: All.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 2: We're going to talk about the market, but we do
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 2: have a call. You want to go to the call here?
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 2: All right, let's let's go to Ryan in Mississippi. You're
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 2: on the air with Adam Martin. What's your question, Irish Saidam.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 11: I was calling to see if y'all do investing.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, there we do.
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 11: How much is the minimum.
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 6: You got to start with?
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 18: Well, we have several models that could be a five
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 18: thousand dollars minimum that has certain investment options with it.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 18: There's other options that we have that HI have higher minimums.
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 18: But there's also just a standalone brokerage account. There's no
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 18: fees to it. It could incur some transactional charges if
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 18: we're trading in and out, but that's while we start
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 18: with a conversation first. So if if you're interested, I'm
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 18: happy to give you some more information.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 2: So if you have a lot of money, if you
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 2: don't have a lot of money, you're gonna be able
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 2: to help folks out.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 18: That's right.
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, I like that idea, Adam Ryan. That's a great question,
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 2: and thank you for calling in. Uh. By the way, Ryan,
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 2: go to Strategic Financial Partners dot com or if you'd
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 2: like for us to reach out to you. You know what,
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 2: let's put Ryan on hold here and we'll get this
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 2: content information and we'll get you guys connected after the segment.
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 2: Why don't we do that?
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 18: Thanks for your question, Ron.
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 2: All right, so here we have timing the market versus
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 2: time in the market, and I want you to explain
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 2: the difference we're talking about here.
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 18: So the fundamental thing here is timing the market means
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 18: that you're trying to figure out when is the right
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 18: time to buy low and sell high. And the problem
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 18: with that is that there are so many things that
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 18: affect the market it's almost impossible to do that consistently.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 18: So we always tell people it's better off to come
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 18: in thinking about how much time you have to be
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 18: in the market, because when we look at things like
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 18: the S and P five hundred, over the course of
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 18: like the last ninety five years, there was only so
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 18: many down markets compared to upmarkets. And what I look
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 18: at from like nineteen twenty five to twenty twenty, which
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 18: is ninety five years, we only had twenty five down
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 18: markets where we closed the year in the down. So
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 18: that just means that you have a higher probability of
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 18: reaching those financial goals by just staying invested and stick
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 18: them to your plan.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 2: I've always learned by low, sell high.
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 10: That's right.
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 18: I mean, that's the name of the game. But you know,
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 18: it's one of those things like right now, why I
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 18: think this is an important conversation to be talking about
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 18: is we're at all time highs in the stock market.
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 18: You know, the dal Jones is over fifty thousand, the
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 18: S and P five hundred is right at seventy five hundred.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 18: We've never hit those metrics before.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 10: So a lot of.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 18: People were getting phone calls and they're saying, should I
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 18: sell now? Should I sell now? And we're not saying sell,
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 18: We're not saying by what we're saying is let's go
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 18: back to the plan. You know, you're not going to
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 18: use these dollars for another ten more years, So that's
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 18: a ten year runway that the seventy five hundred benchmark
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 18: that we're at now could grow even higher.
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 2: And yet there are a lot of people that just
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 2: have these long term investments. And that's where the phrase
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 2: time in the market comes into play.
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 10: That's right.
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 18: I mean, how many people in two thousand and eight,
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 18: when we had a huge market correction, started selling at
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 18: the wrong time because they were like, I've already lost
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 18: a ten percent, i can't afford to lose anymore. I'm
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 18: trying to retire in a couple of years. They're selling
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 18: at the absolute worst time. And then two thousand and
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 18: nine twenty ten comes and we start to see a
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 18: rebound and it's like, if you'd just held on stick
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 18: to the plan, you would have rebounded a lot sooner
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 18: than your thought.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 2: It just seems to me that this is really where
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 2: the struggle is because you see the market dropping and
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 2: you get nervous and you immediately make a decision, and
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 2: that's normally not the right thing to do.
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 18: It's not and that's what gives me job security, if
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 18: you will, because that's what we're here to do, is that, Okay,
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 18: there's a lot of stuff that pops up on the
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 18: TV or your social media that says now's the time
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 18: to get out of it, or now's the time to
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 18: buy before you just go and hit the button and
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 18: buy or sell, pick up the phone, give us a call.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 18: We'll we'll happily walk through it and say, you know,
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 18: I'm not so sure that that's going to be the
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 18: best decision, but I understand if you have to. At
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 18: the end of the day, it's your money and we
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 18: can't control it.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 2: Adam Martin is with Strategic Financial Partners the website Strategic
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 2: Financial Partners dot common. Maybe you have a question about
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 2: the stock market or finances or investing, give Adam acall
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 2: again our number nine oh one two six zero five
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 2: nine two six. I'm curious what happens people? They what
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 2: they sell in the downturn, what happens next?
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 18: So when they sell in the downturn, typically what happens
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 18: is they try to find a financial advisor or they
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 18: go on the internet and try to solve it themselves.
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 18: But they they want to know am I going to
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 18: be okay? The next question is, hey, I know that
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 18: this was a correction, How did that affect my plan?
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 18: And what we always do is like, you know, I
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 18: wish you'd have called this before you did that, because
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 18: most of the time it's a reactionary phone call instead
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 18: of a proactive planning approach, and we we have to
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 18: be the ones that give them the bad news and say,
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 18: you know, I wish you'd just held on a little
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 18: bit longer because you could have rebound it.
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 2: I guess it's almost like coaching a game, right and
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 2: the players you want to react, but you've been your
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 2: coach tells you this is what you need to do.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 2: And I think a lot of that comes at least
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 2: on the financial side, with discipline as well.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 9: Well.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 18: You know, I think right now is a good time
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 18: to really think about this because what's going on in
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 18: the world. I mean, we've got geopolitical things that are happening,
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 18: because there's a midterm election year where there's natural volatility
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 18: being built into the market. We have a fedchair change
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 18: that we don't know if he's going to come in
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 18: in lower rates. The data says that right now that
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 18: there's a potential for a rate heike. Well, interest rates
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 18: affect the market, they affect bonds, and they affect other securities,
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 18: and so when we factor in all those things. We
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 18: have those conversations and we say, Okay, if this thing corrects,
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 18: you're still going to be okay because you're not going
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 18: to be using these dollars for another five more years
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 18: or six more years. Remember what we talked about on
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 18: the initial meeting, And a lot of times that is
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 18: the aha, light bulb moment where they go, you're right,
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 18: I think I just overreacted. I'm just going to stay
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 18: the course and we're going to ride this thing out.
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 2: So again, for folks listening at home and you know
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 2: they're trying, they've been trying to time the market, maybe
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 2: they're just not sure if their investments are aligning with
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 2: their goals. What do they need to be doing.
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 18: So I would just say, what is your money allocated to? Okay,
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 18: so you need to have some allocation towards retirement. We've
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 18: got to have some money there. It major purchase for
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 18: those young listeners that want to buy a new house, like,
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 18: you've got to have money and have it allocated the
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 18: right way and protect it away from big market swings.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 18: We always talk about the cash reserves that's not market correlated.
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 18: So if the market tanks, your cash is not going down.
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 18: So having a plan for each and every single dollar
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 18: that you have. If there's money left over and you
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 18: want a day trade, you want to move in and
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 18: out of stocks or try to time the market. That's
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 18: money that we always say, if you can afford to
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 18: lose it, go play with it.
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 2: So this is really not about predicting the market.
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 5: It's not.
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 18: It's about having time in the market. You know, I
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 18: can tell a young person who is just use a
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 18: number here, twenty five years old.
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 2: They've got a forty.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 18: Year runway before they hit full retirement age. They may
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 18: not have a you know, one hundred thousand dollars to invest,
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 18: and may have ten thousand dollars, but I say ten
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 18: thousand dollars forty years from now is going to be
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 18: a tremendous asset for you because you have the time now.
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 18: If you're fifty five and you want to retire at sixty,
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 18: there's a time gastraight there. So that's why it's more
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 18: detrimental for us to not be trying to time the market.
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 18: Let's stay the course on that.
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 2: That makes well, that makes perfect sense again. Strategic Financialpartners
