  Speaker 5: Well.
• 0:54
  Speaker 6: I mean, let's be real.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I've been here for 20 minutes, and no, we're already
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: in fifth gear. But before we get started, we want
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: to say a special shout out to my sister-in-law, Amy Sadler.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: And my friend.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: I know Amy.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Longtime loyal KWAM listener. Amy Sadler turns 29 today. That's right.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: She's a young'un.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Yep. Happy birthday, Amy.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Would that make her a millennial?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, my Lord. Close enough, as far as my mother
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: would say, that's the way it should be. You are
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: in the principal Toyota studio. We are October 20th, two weeks,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: 14 days to victory and election day. But most important,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: it's early voting. You have 26 locations to choose from.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: You have until October 29th to vote.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: And let me tell you guys, our hours at early
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: voting are very convenient. It's from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: During the week.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: And we even have it open on Saturdays from 10
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: to 4 p.m. So get out there and vote, people.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: We need your vote.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: The numbers are showing that the Democrats are ruling us again,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: and I don't like that.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: I'm a little miffed by it.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I don't like it at all.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: I don't like it.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Early voting is now, what, 65, 75% of turnout?
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: It is during early voting, and the Democrats are obviously
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: angry still about the redistricting because they're about to get
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: congressmen Brent Taylor in the 9th District. But I'm told
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Todd Starnes is taking a break from trying out for
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the Grizzlies in their season opener. Todd, you on the line?
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I am indeed, guys. You sound great this morning.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: And I'm actually on my way to Memphis International Airport
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: to help our good friends down in Texas once again
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: pull their fat out of the fire by trying to
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: help get Ken Paxton elected to the Senate.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Well, that sounds like a good job to do because
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: we've got uphill.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Battle in Texas.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Well, we really do. And it's just really a matter
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: of getting out the vote. I was so happy to
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: see Kristen, you and many others out manning the outside
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: of the polling station there in Germantown. waited about 35
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: minutes in line to vote. So that was exciting to
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: see so many people out. But yeah, we're meeting with
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: all of our great listeners in the Houston area, Patriot
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: Talk 920. We're doing a big book event tonight. A
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: lot of the, well, the Harris County GOP will be there,
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: a lot of the candidates. And I'm excited to be
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: able to help our good friends out in Texas. And
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: I'll be back on Thursday. So you guys are doing
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: a great job.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Well, Todd, thank you so much, and thank you for
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: all that you do. Texas, you know, they're trying hard
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: to flip that seat, and that's been a reliably red state,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: very conservative. What's your feeling on the ground out there?
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, are voters energized?
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: I think voters are energized. I was in Southern California
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: over the weekend speaking to about 1,000 Republicans. They are
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: incredibly fired up, and I really was inspired by their enthusiasm.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: So my advice to all of us here in the Mid-South,
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: don't listen to the polling data. Don't listen to all
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: the negative stories. Just get out and cast your vote.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: Bring somebody with you. And I just heard David Kostoff's ads.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: If every Republican were to be running ads like that,
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: I think we would have a landslide victory in November.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: You couldn't have hit the nail more perfectly with the
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: head of the hammer. You know, David Kustoff has been
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: a phenomenal congressman, a phenomenal conservative. And, you know, to
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: know the guy is to know that he calls you back.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: That is the ultimate in representation of the people. Todd,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: thank you so much for joining us. Keep doing the
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: great work. We'll see you Thursday morning.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: All right. Great show, guys.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Thanks, Todd.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Take care. All right, ladies and gentlemen. If you fell
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: asleep Monday night football, the 49ers prevailed over the Washington Commanders.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: But most importantly, locally, the Grizzlies are starting their season
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: tomorrow night against the Utah Jazz. We are a basketball town.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: The Tigers are getting ready for their third toughest schedule
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: in the country. We're going to be playing some marquee teams.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: That's getting cranked up October 23rd.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: And And we need to get everybody to get downtown again.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: We have a safer downtown. There's no reason not to
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: go now. Support those restaurants and businesses down there. Get
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: your family out. Go to a Tiger game. Go to
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: a Grizzly game. Let's support Memphis, and let's get this
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: basketball season rolling. I love basketball season. I love March Madness.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: I love all of that.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: So I am here for it.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the best season of sports.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: You've got baseball, football, basketball.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Man, what more could you want?
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Voting red. Actually, that's what I want for Christmas.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: I want for Christmas is people to get out and
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: vote red all the way down that ballot.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Light it up like a Christmas tree. We don't need
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: any blue up in there.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Well, and to that point, ladies and gentlemen, again, as
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I've always said, you don't need your coffee. You have us.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Because let's talk about what's happening in the world as
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: we get to our little corner of it. Emmanuel Macron... Macron.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: You have to say it with an accent. You cannot
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: say it. You have to say it with a French accent.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Macron. Macron.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I'm Memphis Rays. You know, no.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I slang too many things already. Macron.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Are you country?
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I'm country. Well, see, he valiantly, valiantly overcame his hangover
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: from attending this.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Oh, poor baby.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, you can't make this up. He valiantly
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: overcame his hangover from the Celine Dion concert. I believe
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: it was Thursday night in Paris, to denounce. He strongly
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: denounced the riots. Ladies and gentlemen.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Strongly worded letter.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: Oh, yes.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: It's strongly worded. Ladies and gentlemen, a thousand police officers
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: have been injured in France. Fifteen hundred businesses damaged while
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Macron was in. denouncing and writing his letters, the cops
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: did their job because they are the thin blue line
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: and they got this dispersed. Don't let the liberals fool you.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Don't let them tell you that, oh, it was a
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: peaceful demonstration. 1,500 businesses were damaged. Your whole life was
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: in that shop and it is now gone. But I
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: have good news, Christine.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Sounds like the summer of love.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Anything but. But I have good news.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: What's your good news?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: No mosques.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Unbelievable.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Was damaged or destroyed and no Palestinian flags were burned.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Oh, amazing, amazing.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: So, you know, how did we get there? You think,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: how did France get there? It got there piece by piece, right?
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: So just little promises that the government's going to take
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: care of this for you. Just one more program, one
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: more entitlement that the government is going to.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Promise for the people. One more handout. And now look
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: where they are. And that is what we're.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Trying to get the message out to the people is,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Do not believe the lies that the government needs to
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: be your daddy.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're talking about France, 35-hour work weeks, six weeks
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: of vacation a year. And it all began, I'm sure,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: because as we saw it in local government, you give
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: a little bit and eventually it's not enough.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: Not enough, yeah.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, it begins with just give us a
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: little bit of Sharia law in Detroit, Michigan, which is
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: what they're doing. Mm-hmm. and eventually is going to become
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: in your neighborhood. Now, under the local, under the local,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: the MSCS, the school board, has appealed using your tax dollars.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: They've gone to court and, you know, look, ladies and gentlemen,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: game respects game. They spent your tax dollars to create
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: an appeal that was so complicated that a judge couldn't
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: possibly rule from the bench yesterday. So the state takeover
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: is once again... Delayed. It's on hold. And no matter
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: where you are on this issue, bottom line, the kids lose.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Because at the bottom line to all of this, the
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: school board's been seated since September. They haven't done anything.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: If anything, they've been more than happy to enjoy the
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: status quo. This takeover... has immediately begun and signaled they're
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: ready to go to work. They've signaled that they are
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: ready to do what they have to do to get
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: our school system and the ship righted.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: And the new board that's sitting there waiting to go in,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: they have all the powers that they need to do
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: the job.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: And like you said, they're just waiting in the wings.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: And these are fully capable people who are ready to
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: right the ship on this and to help these families
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: and to help these children. And the same people that
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: ruined the system, they just ran it into the ground,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: are the same people holding back the fully capable people
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: from coming in and helping this system.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: And it's a really sad situation.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: And normally, I am not one for state takeovers because
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: I believe in local control, but we have.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Exhausted every single opportunity. There is nothing left. It has
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: to be done.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: It has to be done. You cannot confidently send your
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: children to a school with this board, with what has
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: happened in the past, and say that the status quo
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: is somehow acceptable. And if you just look, any of
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: the resumes... of the takeover board, any of their resumes,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: they're all gold plated. They should be seated and allowed
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: to do their jobs and do the tough job that
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: our duly elected folks aren't doing.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: So it makes you really wonder what they're afraid of.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: What are they hiding? What is it that we don't know?
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Is it even worse than we can possibly imagine?
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. When I see several million
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: dollars being wasted, fraud and abuse, I guarantee you that
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: is a fiefdom. They don't want to give up. And
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: what are they hiding? But it gets even better. Ladies
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen, while you are asleep, Yolanda Cooper Sutton, city councilwoman,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: has been basically, yes, it's a wrist slap. But city
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: council chair Jana Swearengin Washington has barred her from chairing
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: her committee's So Yolanda cannot chair her committees for a month. Now, yes,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, I get that that is a slap
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: on the wrist, but as a former elected official, I
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: can tell you that's actually very important because if it
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: goes on, the punishment will get worse.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: You have to start somewhere. Yeah.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: You have to start somewhere, but bottom line, You cannot
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: come into a city council meeting with your bullhorn.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: No.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: But equally important as elected officials, we cannot get into
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: shouting matches with the public. Nobody wins. And more importantly,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: the public loses. The citizens lose their confidence in you.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Well, like Justin Pearson, they're chaos creators, right? That's all
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: they're doing.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: They're not there to really persuade anybody. They're there to
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: cause chaos.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: And to what end? You don't see people causing chaos
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: to seat the school board, the school takeover. You don't
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: see people in chaos.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: The chaos comes from one side.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: It comes from one side. And unfortunately for you, my
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: dear listener, you're not voting. They're voting in larger numbers.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: So my salute to Janice Warington Washington, chairman of the
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: council for suspending the For at least a month.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: Oh, Lord.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, we've already run up. But when you
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: come back, we're going to talk about the governor's race. Mr.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Hatley's been in town.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: He's been here to talk. So we're going to take
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: a obscene profit break and we'll come right back. All right.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: That's the way to start. A little journey, a little
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: coffee for your morning. It's Frank and Kristen taking over
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: for Todd Starnes for this morning.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: Wake up, people.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Wake up. You don't need coffee. You got us. Look,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: today is October 20th. We are two weeks from victory,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: two weeks to Election Day. And stick around. Coming up
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: in about 10 minutes, Representative John Gillespie is going to
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: be on the phone. We're going to talk about his race.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: But first, let's talk about the governor's race. You know,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: I think Marsha is going to win. But Mr. Hatley
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: has been coming to Memphis, hitting it hard. Now, some
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: things I don't agree with. But he has really... tried
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: to make an impact on this race. Kristen, what do
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: you think? That's right.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: So he's had several events here in Memphis, and they've
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: all been at capacity, sold out, and he's sending out
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: texts for free tickets. And in these events, he's offering
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: to pay for lunch if you come hear him speak,
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: pay for dinner. So it's kind of hard to gauge
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: whether or not that that's genuine money interest in Hatley
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: or people just want to go for the free dinner.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: It's kind of like when my parents went and listened
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: to the timeshare speech, they could get free Disney tickets.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: So I don't know if it's that same thing or not, but, um,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: but he is speaking and he's getting a room full
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: of people. It's a way to get into a lot
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: of people in front of a lot of people and
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: spread your message. Now I hear that he is having
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: some problems with his message in our area because he
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: doesn't really understand the dire needs of Memphis.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: So some of his messaging is a little off. He's
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: not really a big fan of the Memphis Safe Task Force.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: He believes that all of our policing problems are the
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: fact that the policemen are underfunded, which they are. But
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: that is not our you know, that doesn't take care
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: of everything. You can't just throw money at a problem
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: and expect solutions. And he's also not really big on
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: this school takeover. And he doesn't really understand where we
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: are at in our education here in the problems that
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: we have with the Memphis Shelby County schools. So I
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: think he's getting fed some bad information, honestly. Or he's
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: thinking like an independent and not like a conservative.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, our number is 260-5926. Give us a call. Look,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: anybody can run.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Anybody can run.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Everybody should vote. A lot of people have fought and
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: died over the several centuries now for your right to
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: vote and for your right to speak your mind. Obviously,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: I completely disagree that our school system needs to be
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: taken over. I emphatically agree that throwing money at a
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: problem does not necessarily solve it. As former city councilman,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: I can tell you. you know, the moment we gave
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: our police a raise, the surrounding areas did too. So
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: they deserve every bit of it and twice that.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, money doesn't solve it. But
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I'm curious, call in if you've been to one of
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: these lunches or supper meetings, because I'm curious as to
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: his delivery. Is he a viable candidate? Do you think
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: he's a viable candidate? I still think Marsha Blackburn wins.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but here's the problem with people like Hatley. He's
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: not taking away Democrat votes. He's taking away votes from
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: the Republicans. So I think that having these, and actually
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: on the way here, there was a clip that they
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: were playing on KWAM that was about somebody really pushing
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: the independents, saying that's the way we get the nation
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: back towards the middle. But I think that's a way
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: to really break the Republican Party.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: I think that's how you elect Democrats.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: That's exactly right.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: It's clear and obvious. Hatley is not going after the
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Democratic vote, even though his positions are not necessarily Memphis
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: and Shelby County. He's taking votes away from Marsha Blackburn.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: And again, I still think Marsha wins. But at the
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: same time, the last time we saw a split like this,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: interestingly enough, Kristen, was in the 70s. And that elected
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Winfield Dunn, the first Republican governor since Reconstruction. I wonder
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: if the flip is happening now. 2-6-0, 59-26. And what
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: does a.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Jerry Green administration look like for Tennessee, for red Tennessee,
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: if Hatley splits enough votes that she actually squeaks in?
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: I'm quite sure. Now, obviously, I haven't asked her, but
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: I'm quite sure she doesn't expect to win. And so
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: I'm sure she hasn't thought through what is actually part
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: of the job. It's... At the end of the day,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: a vote for Hatley is, oh, we have somebody on
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: the line. Caller two, please, Ms.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Helen.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: You've got Frank and Kristen on the phone, caller. Who
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: are you? Well, I guess they passed on it. We'll
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: stay there. Hey, look, we're coming up on a break.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Stay with us. Representative John Gillespie will be with us momentarily.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Take care. Enjoy your coffee. All right, we're back. Frank Colvette,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Kristen Dew, Helen, and Gen Z in the out-of-control room
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: manning the boards. It is Tuesday, October 20th. We are
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: 14 days, nine days to the end of early voting,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: but 14 days to victory. Great news. We've got our
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: good friend, Representative John Gillespie on the line. John, are
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: you with us?
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I am. Thanks so much for having me, Frank.
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: Oh, good.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Always good to talk to you, my friend. Look, your district...
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: You've got a target on your back. Every two years,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: you know, the Dems try to flip your seat. And
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: this year is, of course, no exception. They're coming after you.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: What are you hearing out there? How are you fighting back?
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: So you are absolutely right.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Every two years, I face quite the challenge. It's the
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: most purplish district in the entire state of Tennessee. We've
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: been busy. We've been knocking on about almost 1,700 doors
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: a week for the last two or three months. We've
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: got people at all the polling locations that it will
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: allow us. We're on TV, we're on the internet, and
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: we're in your mailbox. So we are fighting, but we
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: are up against something that we've not been before, and
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: that is, first, my opponent has... more money than me.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: And the majority of it is not from the district,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: not even from Tennessee.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: You know, John, I hate to interrupt you on that one. John,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: is it surprising anymore that on a state representative race, which. Look,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: everybody understands something of all the seats that flip. in Tennessee.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: It's not the council. It's not the Congress. It's the
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: state representatives that the Democrats, but most importantly, John, what
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: it sounds like you're saying, they've got that George Soros
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: type money flooding in, uh, trying to flip this thing.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean, if you look at the
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: disclosure forms, it's 75 cents from Susie in Kentucky and
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: a dollar 50 from Joey in California. I mean, it's
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: under $ 5. Um, But a lot of money adds up
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: across the country, and it's the Democrats. They're more organized
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: when it comes to fundraising.
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: Than we are.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: They're more organized, I feel like, in a lot of situations.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: They really do have that ground game really under control.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: They have the money game under control, and they don't.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: Deviate as a party.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: So how are you going to go up against what
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: seems like to me is a very organized Democrat party that,
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: when we are in a very blue county?
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Well, I can only answer that specifically to my race,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: and that is I'm running on my record. I fought
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: for lower crime, better quality of life, lower taxes, better education,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: and we're doing that in the General Assembly.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: I'm doing that in the General Assembly.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Crime is down in Memphis. Our education system, if some
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: judges will let us do our job, will get better.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: We will be able to invest more money because we
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: have businesses moving to Tennessee at record rates. I'm running
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: on that. And if people don't like that, then it's
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: a pretty obvious choice because the difference between who I'm
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: running against and me is just night and day.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Representative John Gillespie is with us. John, when you're at
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: the polls, and to remind our listeners, you can early
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: vote at any polling. In other words, you can live
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: in Germantown and vote early.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: Downtown if you want to.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can vote anywhere. But John, when you're out there,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: especially because Bethel in Germantown is such, even though I
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: know it's not in your district, it's such a gauntlet,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: for lack of better words. But all the candidates especially
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: love to go out there. What are you hearing from
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: the voters? Because the Democrats, you know, I get it.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: They're angry. But at the same time, you have stood
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: strong for our schools. You have stood strong in being
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: pro-police and anti-crime. What are you hearing out there from voters?
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest, the people that are going out of
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: their way to come up and say something to me
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: is nothing but thanks. It's always good to get a
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: thumbs up or a wave from someone, but it's even
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: better when someone actually comes up to me and thanks
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: me for.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: What I've been doing.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Now, obviously, not many people come up to me and
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: say anything negative to me because I think they keep on,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: you know, walking, walking.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, you should come out to New Bethel, the gauntlet,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: if you want to hear some negativity.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: That's a whole nother ballgame out there. That's some crazy
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: retail politics out there.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: I've been sticking mostly to Second Baptist.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: It's probably good.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: Just because it's in the heart of my district.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: You know, we can talk about this another day, but
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: all the different polling locations all have different restrictions on
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: what you can and cannot do. I miss the days
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: of uniformity, but that's a conversation for another time.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Well, when you're sworn in in the next General Assembly
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: after you win, Representative John Gillespie, maybe that's something that
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: you ought to consider as a state law. Now, there
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: are several amendments on the ballot in the time we have.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: What are your thoughts? Because, you know, the one about
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: allowing judges more discretion to deny bail, I kind of
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: felt like your I felt like your fingerprints were all
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: over that.
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: So that was something that the speaker of the House,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Cameron Sexton, is the one that originally proposed that. But
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: I got on board and helped with it right off
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: the bat. If you remember back in 2000 through 2023
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: when we were having our peak crime crisis, that was
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: one of the biggest things we kept on hearing is,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: but the Constitution does not allow us to do that.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: And we're talking about common sense. So right now in Tennessee,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: the only person that can be denied bail outright is
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: one that's.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: Charged for a capital crime.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, murder, for example.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, murder, but that's not only on the table. So
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: we need that expansion. And there are a lot of
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: states around us and throughout the country that can deny
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: bail for certain situations. And so that's all we're asking
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: for is murder, aggravated rape, aggravated kidnapping, acts of terrorism,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: uses of weapons of mass destruction. The judge should be able.
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: To hold you a little bit longer.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, so what we're saying is We want to apply
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: common sense and give judges discretion because I can't. So
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: we're saying under the law right now with the DA
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: we have, but judges can give bail to aggravated rape
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: charge or a terrorism charge?
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, it could be a mass murder or
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: terrorism charge. And unless, you know, it's capital offense, DA
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: is saying it's so, you have the absolute right Now,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: it could be a high bail, but you have the
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: right to it.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: That blows my mind. We've got all this money from
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: outside of Tennessee flooding into your race, and you're going
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: to tell me that somebody that they might agree with,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: you know, 1,500 businesses destroyed in France, and you're going
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: to tell me this outside money is going to come
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: into Tennessee to try to stop you Stop this amendment.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Not give judges the discretion. But even if they did,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: high bails, Soros, they're going to try to get these
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: people out of jail. Ladies and gentlemen, these folks could
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: be walking the streets.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: Now, help me out because I'm not too familiar.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: Is it just for certain types of crimes that they
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: can have this?
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: They are listed. Okay. It is specific.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: It's very specific. Okay, great.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: In the Constitution, you don't want to... Correct.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: Correct.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Period. Representative John Gillespie, you know, you fought so hard
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: for Memphis and Shelby County. You've done a phenomenal job.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: You know, crime. There's a lot of credit for the
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: crime drop to be spread around. But I think it
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: also needs to land in your lap. This credit for
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: crime going down because you stood strong and said right
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: is right. In the time we have about a minute, John,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: last thoughts to our good listeners.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I just want to encourage everyone, if you
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: haven't already gotten out to vote, to please vote.
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: We need it. If you like the quality of.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Life that's happened in the last year, vote for me.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: It just doesn't get any simpler.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: It's just really simple, isn't it?
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, nice and simple. If you like the way things
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: are going, Representative John.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: Gillespie— And you don't want to be France.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you don't want to become France, if you
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: don't want your business to get destroyed in riots and
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: then get a serious denunciation from President Macron, we're joking,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: but we're very, very serious also because at the end
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: of the day, if you are charged with aggravated rape
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: or terrorism— You do not. I don't care how much
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: the bail is.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: You don't need to be walking the streets.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: You do not walk the streets. I'm sorry. You're not
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: allowed to breathe free air. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: John Gillespie. We have to take an obscene profit break here,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: but thank you so much and keep up the good fight, John. OK,
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: he's got.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: He was like, I got to go. I got stuff
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: to do.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: He's got voters about to show up.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: He does.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: He does. He needs to get going. But I really
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: appreciate all of his work. I appreciate the work of
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: anybody that runs for office. Honestly, that's running red. That's
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: running for the good reasons, the reasons to keep us protected,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: because that is the role of government is to keep
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: its citizens protected.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: And he offers himself in service. The one thing I
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: found about John is. It's all about service. He's not
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: in there to make a buck. He's not in there
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: to make a super huge name for himself. He's just
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: in there doing the hard work day in and day out.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: And because of that, I think that's why his district
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: is such a target, because it's the people that do
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: it all for the right reasons that have the biggest
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: target on their backs.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: They don't want those people in office.
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: No, no.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: They want to be able to demonstrate and destroy businesses.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: All right, guys, get another cup of coffee. We're going
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: to take that obscene profit time out, come back to you,
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: talk about the rest of today and tomorrow. Patty Postle
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: is coming in with the Election Commission to tell us
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: about these amendments and these local ordinances that are being proposed.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: See what your thoughts are on it. We'll see you
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: in just a minute. All right. You've got nine minutes
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: to get to work, my friends, but always don't speed.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Don't speed. It is Frank. It is Christy.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm here too, Frank.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: It is, you know, I'm thinking about today, October 20th,
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: we are 14 days from Election Day, 14 days from victory.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: But before we talk about early voting and how easy
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: it is, I want to give a big shout out
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Tonight is their Country
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Cares event. All across the country, radio stations are having St.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Jude-a-thons and raising tremendous amount for these kids. And tonight,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: they've been Through the hospital now, these DJs, they've seen
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: the great work of St. Jude. I'm looking forward to
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: that event. That's awesome. Yeah, it is. But most importantly,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: let's talk about early voting. You have nine days. Now,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: you can go to shelbyvote.org and see any one of
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: the 26 locations. All you have to do is take
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: your ID, which I hope if you're driving a car,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: you have your ID with you.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: Because in Tennessee, we require it. It's amazing. It's amazing.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: We are not California.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: In Tennessee, we trust but verify. So what I was
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: also thinking, you know, Republicans are not turning out. And
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: if it's because you don't want to run a gauntlet
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: of candidates and all that, if you just want to
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: go in and exercise your vote. I've gone to Tennessee, Shakespeare, Trinity,
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: and Germantown. They don't allow candidates.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: It's one of the newer locations, so a lot of
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: people don't even know about that one.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: So that is an in-and-out location.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Hey, Tennessee, Shakespeare, Trinity, and Germantown. Typically, I'm in and out,
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: literally car door back to my car in 15 minutes.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: And then Compassion Church.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: And now that we've talked about this, maybe everybody will
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: go and it won't be the case, but it's in
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: the Collierville.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: It's right at the border, right behind the Huey's in Collierville.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Compassion Church is a great in and out location where
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: they do not have your retail politics there. And then
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: did we want to go to the phones real quick?
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Do we have time to get a caller in?
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: It's Kevin.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: He just wants to do a get out the vote message. Hey, Kevin,
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: you got to be quick, though.
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: Got to be real.
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: Got to be real quick.
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: I've been going everywhere and Republicans are fired up, especially
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: in the rural counties. But we got to do more
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: in Shelby County.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: Get out and vote.
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: I mean, we've got lunatics running. And if Paris is
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: not a good example of that to get you out
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: and vote and you don't think it's not coming here,
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: think again.
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: I agree, Kevin.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: And here's the thing about people learning the hard way,
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: like the people in Paris had to, is that if
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: you have to learn the hard way here in Shelby County.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: You're going to take me with you.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: And I'm not for that.
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: I agree.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Kevin, you couldn't be more spot on.
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's happening. I mean, and if you go
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: out and vote for this Hatley guy, I mean, all
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: you're doing is giving a vote to Jerry Green, which,
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: in effect, you're voting for Jerry Green. Get out, get
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: out and vote the ticket and stop the nonsense. It's
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: time or it's coming to a neighborhood near you.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Kevin, you couldn't. Thank you, Kevin Snyder, for coming on.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: You couldn't be more right. Kristen, in the time we have,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: you know, I was thinking I get it. You hear
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: all the negative news online. You hear everybody telling you
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: that Republicans bad and we shouldn't go to vote and
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: endless wars. I hear you and I hear it from
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: my family. You know, you're just that constant message and drip, drip, drip.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: But here's the answer. If you don't vote, we're going
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: to be Paris. We're going to be Milan. And they're
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: already trying to drip us slowly but surely. And I'm
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: sure Mr. Hatley's a nice guy. I'm sure he is.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: But Kevin hit the nail on the head there perfectly. Literally,
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: to vote for Hatley is to vote for Jerry Green,
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: to deny Marsha Blackburn the Republican nominee, the governor's residence,
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: and continuing. And we hear from John Gillespie, state representative, Republican.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: We see so many good things coming out to right
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: the ship. Straighten things up on school boards and crime.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: I will say this.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: The reason why in Tennessee that we have the rules
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: that we have with the transgenderism, that we protect our
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: girls in sports, the reason why we don't have Sharia
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: law in Tennessee is because of the Republicans.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: And not voting because, well, you know, I've always said
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: people vote their wallets, you know, against a tax increase,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: against big government, or they vote against an actual candidate. Look,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: in this election, you're voting for responsible government. You're voting
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: for people like John Gillespie, Marsha Blackburn, Brent Taylor.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: As a mom, I'm voting for my kids.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: I can't leave them in a world where they will
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: be taken over by the socialists, the communists and the Muslims.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: That's just not going to happen. So I have to
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: protect that. And the best way that I can is
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: with my vote. That is the gift that was given
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: to me. And I have to pass that gift on
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: to my kids and say, this is important.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: You guys have to vote, too.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: They're already indoctrinating the police in Detroit about accepting certain
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: forms of Sharia law. If you don't think what happened
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: in Paris will happen here, it is happening. And it
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: is because we are sitting on our hands early voting.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: It doesn't go till like seven o'clock.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: So seven o'clock, it's from 11 to seven on weekdays.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: And then on Saturdays, it's 10 to four. So there
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: there is ample time to go out there to cast
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: your vote. It literally takes minutes. You can do it
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: on a machine. You can do a hand marked paper ballot.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: However you want to do it is fine. They will
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: take your vote and you.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: Just do it.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: But just as a reminder, good Republican leadership. We trust
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: but verify. Don't forget your ID.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: We will send you back home to go get it.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll send you back home. But ladies and gentlemen,
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: you know, and I use that term a lot. And
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Todd always says, you know, I say that a lot. Look,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: we are the party of respect. We don't have riots.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: We don't trash businesses. We try to build them up.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: We help. Groups like St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, we
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: stand against crime like John Gillespie, Mark White. I think
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: of our congressman, David Kustoff. You know, they've stood in
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: the breach. We need to send them to Congress and
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: then back to Congress and then back to the legislature.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: And I want to send the message that their outside
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: money doesn't matter. OK, they can fund all of these
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: people all they want. They can give all the money
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: to Justin Pearson that they want. And we're still going
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: to say, no, we don't want that here.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Well, ladies and gentlemen, the hour is already up. I
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: hope you're at work safely. Grab one more cup of coffee.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: You have a great day tomorrow. It's Patty Pasa. We're
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: going to talk about the Election Commission. Have a great day.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: Have a fun day.
