• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Well live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: It's America's favorite gun, total Bible, clinging, deplorable America.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: That's that's American starts well.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Yere.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: So yesterday after after the show, went out and did
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: the big exercise routine and was just you never know
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: who you're going to run into over at the at
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the Lovely Park where I do the big Uh. It's
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: a it's a two and a half mile around the
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: lake trail, and I tried to make it around twice.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: That's the goal. Yesterday did not hamp it. It was like
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: ninety eight degrees outside. But anyway, I'm I was having
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: a good time. Was actually what was I listening to?
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: I think I was listening to Handy or somebody. And
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: so anyway, I'm I'm doing the lap and you drinking
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: the water and you know, trying to stay stay upright
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: in the heat and humidity, and all of a sudden,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: this guy starts flagging me down, waving me down. So
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I take off the earbuds and I talked to this
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: guy and so he's a regular listener of the program.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: He's a friend of the show. I've never met we've occasionally,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I think I've met him once before, and so we
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: had this conversation and he had, you know, asked about
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: how I was doing. He said, man, you are starting
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: to You're looking like you're losing a few pounds there.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: And that guy was training for like a triathlon, so
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: he was like a hardcore athlete. So we're having this
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: conversation and then he just looks at me and he says,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: can I ask you a question? I said, yeah, sure,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: no problem. He says, what is going on with Trump?
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: He says, you know, I voted for this guy. I'm
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: a MAGA guy, and I'm an America First guy. He says,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: but I got to tell you, I don't know what's
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: going on at the White House, but they've got to
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: get this under control. And the guy just I don't
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: know if it was sort of like therapy, but he
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: just sort of let loose and he is he was
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: just really frustrated by what's been happening, maybe what's not
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: happening at the White House and the war in Iran,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: and that's ultimately what it was really all. It was
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: really about the war in Iran. And I'm sitting there
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: and I'm listening to this guy, and he is a
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: rock solid conservative, say he was probably an older nay,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: definitely in the sixties, and he is just he's really frustrated,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: almost to the point of being done frustrated. So last night,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: and I think what led to a lot of this
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: is what happened yesterday when the President announced, Okay, fine,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: we're done and you know, you can't trust the Iranians.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: We're going to go in and we're gonna blow and
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: the Kingdom come. And then just a couple of hours later,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the President comes back and says, no, we're not going
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: to do that anymore. We've reached some sort of a deal,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: and I think, you know, the President says, I think
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: we're going to have a ceasefire and we're gonna be
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: able to work this out. And in response to that,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: the Iranians say, no, we do not have a deal.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: And then they sent drones to attack one of our
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: one of our military installations over there, and we shot
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: him down.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: So I.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Heard what this guy was saying, and I sense his frustrations,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: and I honestly I share his frustrations. And the President
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: is the President is dealing with something in the White
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: House that I don't think any of us truly understand,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: but I think there are I think there are forces
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: at play here, and I don't think they're nefarious. I
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: just think they're a very serious difference of opinion about
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: whether or not we should be in a war. And
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I think those I think those people are, in no
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: specific order, the Vice President of the United States and
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump Junior, and Don Junior especially has his father's ear.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: And then on the other side of the table, you've
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: got a lot of the folks who are warhawks, who
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: say we should go in, we should finish the job
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: that should have been finished in nineteen seventy nine, and
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: we should be done with it. Because I don't care
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: who you are, I don't care what side of the
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: aisle you're on. There's no way that we can allow
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Iran to have a nuclear weapon. And you and I
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: both know that Iran wants to get a nuclear weapon.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: They're not going to stop. That's the end goal here,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: and then they will use that against either Israel or
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the United States, or if they get to both. So
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: yesterday we had Congress won what Tim McClintock on the show,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: and I really appreciated what McClintock had to say. You know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: McLintock is out there and he's like, you know, we've
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: got to attack the enemy until they wave the white
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: flag of surrender. But I'm asking you, ladies and gentlemen,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: is this actually working? Is this the President's plan is working?
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Because thirty nine times, thirty nine times the President says
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: we have been very close to a deal. This goes
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: all the way back to March. Take a listen, we
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: have points of major points of agreement. They want to
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: make a deal, and we.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: Are very willing to make a deal.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I think we're going to end it.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: I can't tell you for sure. When they want to
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: make a deal so badly. You have no idea how
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: badly they want to make a deal. They want to
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: make a deal so badly.
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: But I do see a deal and round we were
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: very close to a deal.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: I think it's close to over you. I mean, I
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: view it as very close to Oliver, it's looking.
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: Very good that we're going to make a deal with
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: the Ran and it's going.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: To be a good deal.
• 5:46
  Speaker 8: This process should go very quickly.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: We're going to end that war very quickly. They want
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: to make a deal so badly.
• 5:52
  Speaker 9: We think we're close to a deal, and that's okay.
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: We're in the final throes of what will be a
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: very very good deal.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: The thirty nine times and let's hope the fortieth time
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: is the charm here. I hope it is. But I'm
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: curious to hear from you, Ladies and Zealen. Are you
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: a little frustrated by all of this? Because I think
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: by and large, the American people, they know, they know
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Iran they're very bad people. They're evil people. They've slaughtered
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: tens of thousands of their own citizens, their own gay people,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: off the buildings over there. They're subjugating the women. It's
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: a terrible situation over there. So I'm just curious if
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: if you share the frustration of this guy I ran
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: into at the park yesterday because he's really fired up
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: about this. And at the end of the day, I
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: don't think the Iranians want a deal. I don't think
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: they've ever wanted a deal. I think they're stringing us along.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: That's what I think is going on here. And here's
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: what I don't want to have happen. And this is
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: where we are heading, heading towards being involved, still involved
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: in a war come the midterm elections, and that's that's
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: no good for everybody, especially President Trump. So I the president. No,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: I don't believe the President is getting stunkered. No, I
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: don't think that's it at all. I think the President
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: is getting conflicting advice and guidance from people that he
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: trust implicitly. That's what I think is going on here.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: But if we're going to go to war, here's the
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: bottom line. If you're going to war, you blow the
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: enemy to Kingdom. Come until they wave the surrender flag,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: and that's it. And you do not stop until they
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: wave the surrender flag.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's how we used to fight wars.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, you have to inflict pain and suffering, and
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: it's a terrible thing. War is awful. But the point
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: of war is to bring about peace and to bring
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: about an end to the conflict. And the only way
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: to do that is to subject the enemy to the
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: full wrath of the United States military. And I don't
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: think we've done that yet. And I know the president's
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: a kind and good and compassionate man, but Iran cannot
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: be trusted. They can't be trusted. It's really that simple.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: So anyway, opening up the phone lines today. By the way,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Show. It is the
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Friday edition of the show. It is also open line Friday.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: That means when you call in, we're going to talk
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: about whatever you want to talk about. Our telephone number.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Write this down nine oh one two six zero five
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: five nine two six coming up, by the way, and
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: just gosh, about fifteen minutes, Lee Greenwood is going to
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: drop by. He's doing a big partnership with Bass Pro
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Shops and we're going to talk about that some other
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: big issues. Of course, we've got the big UFC fight
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: night at the White House, Dylan, you're going to be
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: watching that on Sunday night, the.
• 9:00
  Speaker 10: First UFC match I've actually seen like this year at least.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: It's it's gonna be pretty intense, it's exciting, and it
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: has enraged liberals. We're gonna explain why. I do want
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: you to head over to our Facebook page and if
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: you'll scroll down one of the big problems that one
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: of the big issues that people have, they're upset at
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: the they call them the Octagon girls. Those are the
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: ring girls, Della. They're the lovely ladies who hold the signs.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: And if you've ever been to a fight, there is
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: something that this is true about every single fight night
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: in America. Those are very attractive younger ladies. Yeah, we're
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: not talking about the magenta haired you know, suber ru
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: drivers of America.
• 9:42
  Speaker 10: No, not at all, not in this case.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: These are very no full figured gals up there. And
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: one of the reasons why is the rings aren't that large,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: and you know, you don't want to damage it, right,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: so you've got to have I mean, there has to
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: be a weight limit. I mean, that's just the way
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 9:55
  Speaker 10: It's true, I mean those that's a literal fact actually
• 9:58
  Speaker 10: that you have fallen through the stage.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, Yeah, So you want to be practical. Somebody accidentally,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: you know, bounces and the next thing, you know, boom,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: you got to make a hole right in the middle
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: of the octagon. Nobody wants that. So anyway, they've got
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: the gals and we've got a photograph of it over
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: our Facebook page. That's why I want people to go
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: there and check this out because people are now enraged.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: They're saying that the outfits that the girls are wearing
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: violate the US Flag Code, and they say they're all
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: very offensive, and so, ladies and gentlemen, I just want
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: you to go over and look at the Go to
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: the Tom Stearns facebook page, scroll down and you will
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: see the outfits. And I'm just curious if you find
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: any violations of the flag Code among the lovely Octagon girls. Dylan,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: know you're looking at the photo I did.
• 10:50
  Speaker 10: I think possibly one of the most modest outfits that
• 10:53
  Speaker 10: they could wear. I mean, if people really haven't seen
• 10:56
  Speaker 10: UFC fights like they can, you know, be wearing almost nothing,
• 10:59
  Speaker 10: So this is a lot more modest.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: You can actually, let me put it this way. In
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: today's modern church, these girls could wear these up on
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: stage as a member of the worship bands.
• 11:09
  Speaker 10: Yeah, in the modern naturech in the modern day church.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Wow, oh, look at the high heels. Those are pretty.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: You know, I didn't even look at the high heels.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: They're going to have a tough time walking around those things.
• 11:22
  Speaker 10: It kind of looked like super women like.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: This, wonder woman, like wonder Woman, Yeah, exactly. So anyway,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: now the leftist are all upset. I wonder if they're
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: more upset that these are very beautiful attractive, healthy, physically fit,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: actual women as opposed to you know, the Star Wars
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: bar scene that we're we've been looking at parading around
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: towns waving flags. I'm just I'm just saying, all right,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: we got to take a break. Here, go and look
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: at this picture. And I want you to because people
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: are saying this is a violation of the flag code.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: And people are also saying that it's gonna be dangerous.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Trump is putting lives in danger because it's going to
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: be hot and humid and they're gonna be mosquitoes. And no,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not making this up. I mean they One of
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: the axios actually interviewed an insect specialist to weigh in
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: on whether or not people might get some sort of
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: a disease that they get bitten by a mosquito outside
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: the White House. Nine oh one two six zero five
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: nine two six. This is the todd startin show.
• 12:27
  Speaker 11: Hey guys, quick, heads up. This is actually a big one.
• 12:29
  Speaker 11: We're saying goodbye to something that's helped thousands of families
• 12:33
  Speaker 11: over the years. The Patriot Power Generator, one of the
• 12:36
  Speaker 11: best selling solar generators of twenty twenty five, is officially
• 12:40
  Speaker 11: being retired and the reason. They've just released something even better.
• 12:44
  Speaker 11: It's called the Patriot Power Generator two two zero zero
• 12:48
  Speaker 11: X and this is their most powerful model yet. It's
• 12:51
  Speaker 11: built for real life situations, storms, outages, emergencies when you
• 12:56
  Speaker 11: need power the most. To launch it, they're doing something
• 12:59
  Speaker 11: pretty crazy right now. You can get five hundred dollars
• 13:02
  Speaker 11: off the generator. Plus they're including two free solar panels,
• 13:06
  Speaker 11: so you can double your charging power right out of
• 13:08
  Speaker 11: the box. They're also throwing in a heavy duty roll
• 13:11
  Speaker 11: in go kart, an extended three year warranty, and if
• 13:15
  Speaker 11: you're a senior or a veteran, you can save an
• 13:17
  Speaker 11: additional two hundred dollars. And here's the part that really
• 13:21
  Speaker 11: stands out, because they offer a payment plan. You can
• 13:24
  Speaker 11: get started today for just two hundred and ninety nine
• 13:27
  Speaker 11: dollars and its ships as soon as tomorrow. But this
• 13:30
  Speaker 11: is a limited launch offer. It's first come, first served,
• 13:34
  Speaker 11: and these kinds of deals don't stick around, especially with
• 13:37
  Speaker 11: how unpredictable power outages have been lately. So if you've
• 13:40
  Speaker 11: ever thought about having backup power for your home, now's
• 13:44
  Speaker 11: the time to do it. Stay safe, stay prepared, and
• 13:47
  Speaker 11: don't wait until the lights go out, go to starnsprepper
• 13:50
  Speaker 11: dot com right now to take advantage of this limited
• 13:52
  Speaker 11: time offer.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Tod Sterns
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Radio Show. So just curious here, what do you want
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: President Trump to do? What do you want President Trump
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: to do? Do we go in and blow Iran off
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: the face of the earth, or do we make some
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: sort of a deal and get the heck out of
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: there so we can get back to life as normal.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Inflation will drop, gas prices will drop, and some people
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: are saying gas prices are already dropping in some areas.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I can assure you they are not dropping in Memphis, Tennessee.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Three ninety nine a gallon is what I paid just
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: the other day. So I'm just curious, what do you
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: want President Trump to do when it comes to Iran?
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 14:53

• 15:05
  Speaker 2: downtown active shooter. The mayor now announcing at least eleven
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: people eleven people shot. The FBI is there as well,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: and they are bringing many of the victims in. I
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: guess the shooters so barricaded, but they're bringing in victims
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: to Midland Memorial Hospital. We have no other additional information
• 15:29

• 15:57
  Speaker 12: is a good friend of mine, and today I named
• 15:59
  Speaker 12: him number one taxpayer champion in the country, and he says,

  Speaker 12: Joe thinks it's never been better, and Tod based on
• 16:07
  Speaker 12: the I mean, the market is just continued. I mean,
• 16:10
  Speaker 12: just think of the people, the four old ones that
• 16:13
  Speaker 12: are going way up and the people that hadn't that
• 16:15
  Speaker 12: happen to them. And so it's fantastic. So I think Trump,
• 16:19
  Speaker 12: and my judgment, Trump's the best leader in history. I
• 16:22
  Speaker 12: don't have any complaints. I think everything he's doing makes
• 16:26
  Speaker 12: sense to me, and I think when the stock market
• 16:30
  Speaker 12: is a pretty good judge of how people feel, and
• 16:33
  Speaker 12: just like today, it's breaking another all time So I'm
• 16:38
  Speaker 12: a very happy person. I'm down in Sea Island and
• 16:40
  Speaker 12: talking to a lot of people all over the country,
• 16:43
  Speaker 12: and everyone I'm talking to loves Trump and loves the
• 16:46
  Speaker 12: stock market. So I'm a very happy person. And Todd,
• 16:50
  Speaker 12: I appreciate what you're doing. You have a great talk show,
• 16:53
  Speaker 12: You're very positive and thank God for Todd Starns.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Well, Joe, I appreciate you saying that. However, let me
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: just let me let me ask you this question, though,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: would you agree that there is a difference between what's
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: happening on Wall Street and what's happening on Main Street
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: because right now main Street, You're right, the stock market's
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: doing great, Wall Street's doing great, but the mains, the
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: economy on Main Street is still sluggish and people are
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: people are struggling to be able to pay their bills.
• 17:23
  Speaker 12: Well, you know, you're right on that, and I think
• 17:26
  Speaker 12: I think Trump is moving to address that. And I
• 17:30
  Speaker 12: and there again, the midterms are coming up, and that's
• 17:32
  Speaker 12: going to be a big guest. So Trump has got
• 17:35
  Speaker 12: to get and I think he's working on doing that.
• 17:38
  Speaker 12: And you just mentioned gas prices. I think by midterms,
• 17:42
  Speaker 12: gas prices will be way down, and the people you're
• 17:46
  Speaker 12: talking to wills like great news. However, if that's not
• 17:49
  Speaker 12: the case, we could lose the mid terms and that
• 17:52
  Speaker 12: would be a disaster. But I have enough commonis in Trump.
• 17:56
  Speaker 12: He's aware of just what you're talking about, and he's
• 17:59
  Speaker 12: working on getting your gas price down where Todd Starns
• 18:03
  Speaker 12: doesn't have to pay too much magas and so they're
• 18:06
  Speaker 12: aware of all these problems. But Todd, they've got to
• 18:09
  Speaker 12: do something about it, and I think they will. And
• 18:12
  Speaker 12: I'm predicting on your wonderful show, uh B midterm land
• 18:16
  Speaker 12: slides for the Republicans, and and if they don't get
• 18:19
  Speaker 12: the gas prices though down and other prices, it'll be
• 18:23
  Speaker 12: the opposite of that, no doubt about it in Trump
• 18:26
  Speaker 12: and and Todd, you have been a great supporter of Trump,
• 18:29
  Speaker 12: but you also want to reflect how your how your
• 18:33
  Speaker 12: listeners feel, and a lot of maups and so Trump's
• 18:36
  Speaker 12: got he's got to work hard between now and the
• 18:39
  Speaker 12: mid terms that gets you get the prices down where
• 18:42
  Speaker 12: Todd Starns and have to pay too much mcgaff If
• 18:44
  Speaker 12: he does that, and I think he will, we'll have
• 18:47
  Speaker 12: bigger wins. If he doesn't, then Todd, it'll be it'll
• 18:51
  Speaker 12: be disasters. We'll lose to the Democrat.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and we can't do that. We just can't do that. Uh, Joe.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Always good hearing from you. Thank you for calling in
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: and thanks for being a great positive voice here on
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: the show. You know, it's interesting going back to this
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: anxious report, tellen Trump's UFC fight faces a tough opponent
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: DC heat, humidity, and bugs. They're saying that the DC
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: swamp is boggy and muggy and potentially stormy Mother Nature
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: emerging as the night's biggest wild card. The Hollywood Reporter
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: says there are major threats rain, lightning, and a ton
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: of bugs. They're really taking this seriously here, I mean
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: they're freaking out over this kind of nonsense. We're going
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: to get into more of this in just a little while.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: But again, I go look on our Facebook page. I
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: want you to check out these ring girls, and you
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: tell me if those outfits violate the US flag code
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: This is the Tom Stern Show, all right, Welcome back, everybody.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Sterns Radio Show, broadcasting on more
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: than one hundred stations around our great nation, and of
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: course a lot of excitement getting ready to celebrate the
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Great American State Fair kickoff celebration, and it's really going
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: to be a remarkable time in our nation's capital. One
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: of the individuals that's going to be a key part
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: of all of this is our good friend Lee Greenwood,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: who joins us now on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: And Lee, we've got a lot to talk about and
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: we're going to get to vast pro shop and the
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: awesome partnership with him in just a moment. But I'm
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: really excited about this Great American State Fair kickoff. Hope
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: you're doing good today, Lee.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: I'm doing great, and we're excited about it as well.
• 21:00
  Speaker 13: In the Great American State Fair, I didn't know why
• 21:02
  Speaker 13: they called it a state fair.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: It's going to be in DC or Virginia or somewhere,
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: and I'm.
• 21:06
  Speaker 13: Like, oh, they get all fifty states coming, so everybody's
• 21:10
  Speaker 13: evidently making some kind of a presentation or they doing
• 21:14
  Speaker 13: their state flag and set up the state flag somewhere.
• 21:17
  Speaker 13: But yes, that's why it's going to be so big.
• 21:20
  Speaker 13: And of course June twenty fourth, that's the beginning that
• 21:24
  Speaker 13: I'll be singing with the United States Marine Band it
• 21:27
  Speaker 13: looks like, and introducing to president. And then of course
• 21:30
  Speaker 13: it goes through the July fourth weekend, which is going
• 21:32
  Speaker 13: to be exciting.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: I can't be there the entire time.
• 21:34
  Speaker 13: But I'm going to be there at the twenty fourth,
• 21:37
  Speaker 13: twenty fifth, and then I have to go somewhere else
• 21:39
  Speaker 13: for a while, and I'll be back on July one
• 21:42
  Speaker 13: through the July fourth holiday.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Lee. This is one of these huge American moments, our
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. You would think that everybody
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: would be on board. Everybody wanted to go the extra mile,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: you know, to throw a parade or have some sort
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: of a party or a celebration. And again, the fact
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: is that you've got a lot of folks that are
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: turning this into a political mess. You had a lot
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: of musical artists that backed out, and I'm wondering, you know,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: you are a musician, and there have been so many
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: musicians that have played for the president because it was
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: respect in the office, whether it be a Democrat or
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: a Republican in the office. What was your take when
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: you found out that a lot of these artists we're
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: going to back out?
• 22:26
  Speaker 13: Well, a little disappointed, Todd. I have the belief that
• 22:31
  Speaker 13: when you do something that celebrates America, it's non political.
• 22:36
  Speaker 13: It's I mean, you know, running for office, and you
• 22:39
  Speaker 13: celebrate a particular candidate because you believe they'd be good
• 22:43
  Speaker 13: for the office.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: That's still our right as a musician.
• 22:46
  Speaker 13: But if you prefer not to celebrate America, that's disappointing.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Sorry, well it is. And now we have word and
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: this story coming out this week. At least seven states Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: North Carolina, Oregon, and Washington will not even participate in
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: the Great American State Fair. And you know they I'm
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: sure they're going to be listening a litany of their excuses,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: but I think we all know what's going on here.
• 23:16
  Speaker 14: Well.
• 23:16
  Speaker 13: Absolutely, It's kind of like when the President addressed Congress
• 23:20
  Speaker 13: and every time there was something positive that the left,
• 23:24
  Speaker 13: all the senators in congressmen that they sat in their hands.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: I mean that to make that kind of gesture is insulting.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: I think Lee Greenwood joining us on our Patriot Mobile
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: news maker line and Lee. I'm really excited about this
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: limited edition flag American flag. It's the Allied Flag and
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: you guys are partnering with our friends at Bass Pro Shop.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Tell us, tell us about this exciting flag.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it is exciting.
• 23:55
  Speaker 13: I I have a huge flag in my front yard
• 23:58
  Speaker 13: and we fly the state flag as well the Tennessee flag.
• 24:03
  Speaker 13: But we knew this was coming for some time ago.
• 24:05
  Speaker 13: Johnny Morris is a very close friend, a wonderful guy.
• 24:09
  Speaker 13: He's a terrific entrepreneur, and he's given so much to
• 24:13
  Speaker 13: other people, including.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: By the way to helping a hero.
• 24:18
  Speaker 13: We build homes for wounded warriors, and he takes care
• 24:21
  Speaker 13: of a lot of that for us, and I'm so appreciative.
• 24:24
  Speaker 13: We knew the Allied Flag Company was going to go
• 24:26
  Speaker 13: in partnership with me, and so this box that I have,
• 24:30
  Speaker 13: I don't know if you can see this or not,
• 24:31
  Speaker 13: can you or not? Okay, but it's got my likeness
• 24:35
  Speaker 13: on it and my name on it in front of
• 24:36
  Speaker 13: a beautiful box. Actually if you'd like to have it
• 24:39
  Speaker 13: as just a souvenir, but inside it, of course is
• 24:42
  Speaker 13: the beautiful American flag that is made in the United States.
• 24:46
  Speaker 13: Just make no mistake about that. It says on the
• 24:49
  Speaker 13: front of an America's two fifty anniversary flag, and it's
• 24:52
  Speaker 13: nylon weather resistant. It comes in a beautiful package, and
• 24:56
  Speaker 13: you can get it now through the July fourth weekend,
• 25:00
  Speaker 13: probably beyond from bass Pro shops nationwide, So don't hesitate
• 25:06
  Speaker 13: to wait for Allied dot com if you want to
• 25:08
  Speaker 13: order it and you can't get to a bass Pro shop,
• 25:10
  Speaker 13: but go there in person and pick one up.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: I look, I think it's just a wonderful thing. And
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: I've got the I've got the flag, I've got the
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: God blessed the USA Bible. So I'm having a whole
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Lee Greenwood section now in my almost Yay.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: It's not a memorial.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no no no. By the way, speaking
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: of speaking of Johnny Morris, you know we have we
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: have a little bass Pro shop in Memphis. I don't
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: know if you're aware of this league.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah. And as it has a light in the
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: top of it that goes to the.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Moon, it's unbelievable. Of course, in the old Pyramid, which
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: we used to call the Tomb of Doom when the
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Memphis Tigers played there. But there's a great story about
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Johnny Morris. He was actually out fishing with Bill Dance,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: you know, the great, great, all time feigned angler, and
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: they were joking about where to put the next bass
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Pro shop in. So he joked and said, if they
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: called a thirty pound catfish, he would build a bass
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Pro shop right there in the abandoned pyramid. And by golly,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: they got a thirty four pounder and we've got a
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: bass Pro Shop and a pyramid.
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: Now, yeah, and it's fantastic. I've been in that shop.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: It's you know, Lee, you travel the country, you talk
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: to all sorts of folks, and I'm just curious, what
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: is the mood of the country right now?
• 26:34
  Speaker 13: Well, I guess you have to consider who I see.
• 26:37
  Speaker 13: I mean, you know, I'm pretty rural. I see a
• 26:42
  Speaker 13: lot of the country folks. You know, I'm not in
• 26:44
  Speaker 13: big cities much anymore. When I was really hot during
• 26:47
  Speaker 13: artists in the first fifteen years, let's say, of my
• 26:50
  Speaker 13: career from the beginning of nineteen eighty through ninety five.
• 26:56
  Speaker 13: After I met Kim, which is in nineteen ninety two,
• 26:58
  Speaker 13: we were married, then I stopped really touring the big cities.
• 27:02
  Speaker 13: We tour outside of them. You'll find more of the
• 27:04
  Speaker 13: people on the right, if you will, politically, you'll have
• 27:08
  Speaker 13: people that are hardworking Americans and dedicated to the productivity
• 27:11
  Speaker 13: that's necessary to keep the wheels in motion in this
• 27:15
  Speaker 13: in this United States.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: But the mood is fantastic.
• 27:19
  Speaker 13: I mean the only com the only comout I get
• 27:21
  Speaker 13: is the gas prices are high, you know, and and
• 27:24
  Speaker 13: that's it's a fact. And we hope that that'll change quickly.
• 27:29
  Speaker 13: But because of the Iranian conflict, but I don't know,
• 27:33
  Speaker 13: you know.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got to get that. We've got to get
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: that taken care of quickly. And I'm with you on
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: those gas prices. So Lee again, congratulations and uh, tell,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: folks are gonna say, want to get this Allied Flag,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: how do they how can they go about doing that?
• 27:47
  Speaker 13: Yeah, you certainly get it for the website Allied Flag
• 27:50
  Speaker 13: dot com.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Or go to a bass Pro shop. That's fun.
• 27:55
  Speaker 13: I mean, they have so many things that you would
• 27:57
  Speaker 13: like to buy. Believe me, I bought my last car
• 28:00
  Speaker 13: pants there. There's like they got all kinds of stuff
• 28:03
  Speaker 13: that are good for hunting, fishing, and uh and just
• 28:08
  Speaker 13: rural living.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Lee Greenwood, always a pleasure to have you on with us.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: And thank you so very much. We certainly appreciate you
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: joining us today, Sir.
• 28:21
  Speaker 13: Todd, love you very much. Look forward to going to
• 28:24
  Speaker 13: the UFC and at the White House.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be it's gonna be a great fight night.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: That's gonna be pretty remarkable. All right, Lee, thank you again.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: All Right, folks, our telephone number nine oh one two
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: six zero five, nine two six. That's nine oh one
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: two six zero five, nine two six. This is the
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Todd stern Show. All right, welcome back everybody. This is
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: the Todd Sterns Radio Show. So, you know, I really
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: hate that these kinds of things happen, but they do,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: and we've got to talk about them because I believe
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: in transparency here on the Todd Stearns Radio Show. So
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: there is in Tennessee there's a big congressional race and
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: there is a woman by the name of Charlotte Bergman
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: who is running. This woman is a perennial candidate. She
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: has run at least six times that I know of,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: and has lost all six times. And so Judge Joe
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Brown is running her campaign and he's been our point
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: person for you know, forgetting her on the program, because
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: again we want to invite all of the candidates on,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: and and again it's this is all over the country,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: and so we love having the candidates on and we
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: want to give everybody a fair shake. Well, now, miss
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Bergman is out there making accusations about yours, truly, and
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: the woman is either misinformed or she's a liar, and
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: I will this is a head scratcher. She also believes
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: I'm a liberal. She's running as a Republican, by the way,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: and here's what she wrote, Todd. Todd, Todd, you know
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: good and well, your team never reached out to us.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: And just so we're crystal clear, we have zero interest
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: in buying advertising on your show as a prerequisite for
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: being a guest. We'll pass. So, first of all, that
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: is against the law, and we abide by the law.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: On this radio program and the radio station that I own.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: We invite people on to talk about the issues, whether
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: or not they buy campaign advertising or not. And the
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: fact of the matter is miss Bergman again is either
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: missing or she is a liar. And I say that
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: because we keep the receipts here on the Tom Stearns
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Radio Show, and we have reached out numerous times inviting
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: her to come onto this program and they have what
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: is that they were supposed to be on this week?
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: And we got stood up? Is that accurate? Team? All right?
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: My team is shaking their heads. Yes. So we've invited
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: this woman on multiple times, and we'd still like to
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: invite her on because we believe that's the right thing
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: to do. But what is not right is for a
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: woman like Charlotte Bergman, a perennial loser at the ballot box,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: to make false accusations about yours truly, And the answer
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: to that question is yes, we certainly did invite her
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: to purchase advertising, but there was absolutely no prerequisite that
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: she had to buy ads to be able to appear.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: That's not how the FCC rules and regulations apply. And
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: so here's here's what we wrote, going all the way
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: back to May, when we asked miss Bergman if she
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: would be willing to come on, and we said we
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: let's say, oh, yes, here we go May the twentieth.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Can we get Charlotte on my national radio show? He
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: replied yes, and that was it. Didn't hear back then
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: in June loved to get Charlotte advertising on KWAM. Some
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: of the other candidates have already started running ads. That
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: was it. Then we here we go. This was on
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Sunday and the question was getting her on the getting
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: her on the show. So this is really unfortunate and sad,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: but it says a lot about a person's character when
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: they either are just misinformed or outright outright liars. And
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: I have no idea which one she is, but this
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: is really unfortunate, and this is and let's just get
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: real for a second. This is a big problem in
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: the Republican party when you have people out there doing
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: this kind of stuff. That's not who Republicans are. So anyway,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: the invitation still stands. You know, if miss Bergmann would
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: like to come onto the program, but I can assure
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: you she will be she will have to retract she
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: what she alleged here. We're not going to allow anybody,
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: a Republican or a Democrat, to make unfounded charges against us.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: That's not going to happen. Nine oh one two six
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one two
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: six zero five, nine two six. Let's go to Frank
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: in Winchester, Virginia, w i n C our radio Atheliot There, Hi, Frank,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
• 33:59
  Speaker 14: Oh?
• 33:59
  Speaker 9: Will be an old steward retired here in Winchester, Virginia,
• 34:03
  Speaker 9: and I do listen to your show almost every day
• 34:07
  Speaker 9: on the car radio. I wanted to make a comment
• 34:10
  Speaker 9: because I wanted to stress that American wars have not
• 34:14
  Speaker 9: been once based on total victory, even though locks and
• 34:18
  Speaker 9: lots of bombs have been dropped. We can go to Vietnam,
• 34:23
  Speaker 9: for example, where there were bombing halls all the time
• 34:27
  Speaker 9: and finally Nixon had to inherit it and then Nixon
• 34:31
  Speaker 9: bombed the h out of them, but the peace settlement
• 34:35
  Speaker 9: was rather dubious that left the North Koreans behind the
• 34:41
  Speaker 9: behind the line, so to speak, of South Vietnam. So
• 34:45
  Speaker 9: there's been a lot of situations since World War Two
• 34:50
  Speaker 9: where we have been a little uneven in the way
• 34:55
  Speaker 9: we pursued war. And I think it might be plausible
• 35:00
  Speaker 9: with Trump to get out of a trap that he
• 35:02
  Speaker 9: might be in and hit him hard, but just try
• 35:05
  Speaker 9: to get out so we can open up the straight
• 35:09
  Speaker 9: I want to mention too that even if Hiran had
• 35:11
  Speaker 9: no news, they've been doing terrific damage without newts, And
• 35:17
  Speaker 9: there are plenty of big bombs that are not mutire
• 35:20
  Speaker 9: but can't wreck whole cities, so there'd be a lot
• 35:24
  Speaker 9: to negotiate, So you've got to have some clear war
• 35:27
  Speaker 9: aims too. But I think I don't think we're ready
• 35:32
  Speaker 9: to go the whole high and I'm not sure what
• 35:34
  Speaker 9: result if it would be a positive result.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Frank, you know, I appreciate you bringing the history in here,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: because we're just not learning our lessons. You know, we
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: didn't learn it in the first Gulf War. We're just
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: not finishing the job, and that's a big problem. So
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: I'm with you. I think we ought to go in
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: and we ought to finish all of this and get
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: it over with.
• 35:59
  Speaker 9: Well, the problem I don't know what over is gonna
• 36:02
  Speaker 9: be in that context. That's it's a little deeper in
• 36:05
  Speaker 9: Murcier with Iran than even the other ones, you know,
• 36:10
  Speaker 9: the other conflicts, because are we going to have a
• 36:15
  Speaker 9: lot of troops stationed there to try to control something
• 36:18
  Speaker 9: in Iran or you know, there's gonna be a lot
• 36:21
  Speaker 9: of after effects. So it's what I'm trying to say,
• 36:24
  Speaker 9: it's hard to figure out what what the job is,
• 36:28
  Speaker 9: you know, to uh to get the job done. In
• 36:31
  Speaker 9: other words, what the final job is. I think the
• 36:34
  Speaker 9: best one would have been regime in a regime change,
• 36:38
  Speaker 9: but we haven't been able to get regime changed. That's
• 36:41
  Speaker 9: that's the thing that looks bad. You know that that's
• 36:45
  Speaker 9: bad to me is that it doesn't look like that
• 36:48
  Speaker 9: if we had a different government altogether, at least a
• 36:52
  Speaker 9: saner government, perhaps we could get some sort of settlement
• 36:56
  Speaker 9: that would be equivalent to getting the job done.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Well, it's and that's a fair question, is what are
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: we over there for. Originally it was to dismantle their
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: nuclear program. I'm not sure. I mean, I don't know
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: if we've done that. Have we done that? I don't know.
• 37:15
  Speaker 9: No, I don't think. I don't think that we have
• 37:18
  Speaker 9: all together and they could get it anyway. I mean,
• 37:22
  Speaker 9: there's a lot of things that haven't been explored. Because
• 37:26
  Speaker 9: also Iran can do some trade via the Caspian Sea,
• 37:32
  Speaker 9: and also there's a rail line that's going to China,
• 37:36
  Speaker 9: So I mean, we could bomb that, we could bomb
• 37:39
  Speaker 9: the Caspian ports, but we have a danger of getting
• 37:42
  Speaker 9: more involved with Russia because Walsha probably has a lot
• 37:45
  Speaker 9: of shifts there. So yeah, it looks like something that's
• 37:49
  Speaker 9: a little dubious. The only thing that would be plausible
• 37:52
  Speaker 9: would have been to have regime regime things, sorry, you know,
• 37:56
  Speaker 9: to try to get some sort of piece that would
• 37:58
  Speaker 9: be uh, would be better in terms of meets and
• 38:02
  Speaker 9: supporting uh Foxy, you know, Foxy Movements and so on
• 38:07
  Speaker 9: like that, and Levanon and Elsewheel.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Rank. We're gonna have to leave it there, my friend
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: for the hour. But it's a good thought, folks. Hang tight.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: We've got hour two coming up. Nine oh one two
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six are telephone number, that's
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: This is the Tom Starns Show.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: common sense conservative commentary from Todd Stars.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Well, hello, everybody, welcome to the Tom Sterns Radio Show.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Great to have you with us today. All of these Dylan,
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you've heard. In the last we
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: were interviewing Lee Greenwood, and all of a sudden, it's
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: like these uh, these alerts started going off.
• 39:22
  Speaker 10: Yes, we all got them here everybody's phones.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: I've got to figure out a way to turn these
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: things off.
• 39:28
  Speaker 10: I don't think you can. It's like one of those
• 39:30
  Speaker 10: emergency alert systems.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: It said critical. I'mminent threat alert. I'm like the plasted
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: aliens dead dumb it It turned out to be real
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: after all, they're coming for us. By the way, have
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: the reviews from disclosure now? Oh yeah, terrible, not good.
• 39:45
  Speaker 10: I wasn't gonna see it anyway, but this is even
• 39:47
  Speaker 10: more of a reason not to.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Somebody said they were actually rooting for the Aliens. That's
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: not good. That's never good. I'm going to have to
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: take a path. I'll wait till it comes out, you know,
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: on Netflix or But anyway, when I all the alerts
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: went up, I'm like, oh gosh, we've got an a

  Speaker 2: But right now, very excited to welcome a great American
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: patriot down in Cajun Country. Jeff Crewe and Jeff. You
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: are the president general manager WGSO Radio, great radio station. Jeff,
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: good to have you with us today, my friend.
• 40:56
  Speaker 8: Hey, thanks Todd. Thanks for having me so.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: First of all, yeah, I don't know about you guys.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: We're getting in Memphis right now. It's like monsoon season
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: out there, you guys get the big storms and everything
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: down in New Orleans.
• 41:09
  Speaker 8: Yeah, we've been having a lot of rain. It's been
• 41:11
  Speaker 8: a rainy spring, which you know, I don't mind because
• 41:15
  Speaker 8: it keeps the heat away. So I'm all for it
• 41:19
  Speaker 8: because this is this has been you know, typical time.
• 41:22
  Speaker 8: When it really starts getting hot, people try to start
• 41:26
  Speaker 8: heading for the beach, get out of Dodge to get
• 41:29
  Speaker 8: some relief. So I don't mind the rain, Todd, as
• 41:31
  Speaker 8: long as it's not too much.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 41:34
  Speaker 8: We're under sea level by the way.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I never could figure that one out. But it's
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: still a great town. And by the way, I don't
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: have Jeff, I don't know if you've been following the Freddy,
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: the German guy who's been like driving across America for
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: the World Cup and he I guess they arrived in
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: what New Orleans yesterday or day before yesterday, and they're
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: just going bonkers crazy. They love America, right.
• 41:57
  Speaker 8: My wife was telling me about that, And of course,
• 42:00
  Speaker 8: why wouldn't they love America because we have so much
• 42:02
  Speaker 8: more to offer than Europe. I mean, there's more freedom here,
• 42:05
  Speaker 8: there's I think they were all excited because you get
• 42:08
  Speaker 8: free refills of coke and that's something that's like impossible
• 42:13
  Speaker 8: in Europe. So we don't we shouldn't take any of
• 42:16
  Speaker 8: that for granted.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: And Ice, Jeff Ice, so God bless America. I did
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: tell them they need to go buy mothers, get the
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: debris Po boy. You know, you got to do that,
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: and you know, and hang out. I think they went
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: to waffle House again. They're really infatuated with waffle House.
• 42:33
  Speaker 8: Well, you don't come to New Orleans to go to
• 42:35
  Speaker 8: waffle House, but yeah, mothers, that's a good suggestion. I mean,
• 42:38
  Speaker 8: there are hundreds of great places they could go. I mean,
• 42:41
  Speaker 8: they gotta have some seafood while they're down.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: Here, Oh definitely.
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, is right.
• 42:46
  Speaker 10: I mean, the list is long.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: Time, Jeff. That's this is why I have to stay
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: away from New Orleans because the food is just so
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: insanely good, Jeff. Politics, it doesn't come any better than Louisiana.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: You guys always have some wild races and crazy characters.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: And you've got the big runoff coming up with our
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: good friend, former Congressman Fleming going up against Julia Letlow.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: And this is just a head scratcher because Fleming is
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: actually the more conservative of the two candidates.
• 43:18
  Speaker 8: Oh, no doubt about it. I mean every rating shows
• 43:21
  Speaker 8: him to be the true conservative. I think in ninety
• 43:23
  Speaker 8: seven percent conservative rating and miss Letlow is in the
• 43:28
  Speaker 8: seventies sixties depending on the different group that is rating,
• 43:33
  Speaker 8: So there's a big difference. She's I mean, she's basically
• 43:35
  Speaker 8: a moderate Republican in the mold of Bil Cassidy. I mean,
• 43:39
  Speaker 8: pretty much very similar to Bill Cassidy philosophically. But now
• 43:43
  Speaker 8: she's being packaged as this maga trumpa loving candidate, and
• 43:50
  Speaker 8: it's really false advertising because her history shows that she's
• 43:53
  Speaker 8: just not that way. That's not her voting record.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: So let's talk about that, because again it's that part
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: of it seems to get lost in the national media.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: And I know, I think they had the situation in
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Iowa where the President ended up endorsing the non MAGA candidate.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: So you really do have to wonder who's in the
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: President's ear telling him to endorse these folks.
• 44:16
  Speaker 8: Well, here in Louisiana, it's the governor. I mean, the
• 44:18
  Speaker 8: governor strongly supporting Ms. Letlow and I think convinced the
• 44:23
  Speaker 8: President to endorse her. The governor has tangled with doctor
• 44:29
  Speaker 8: Fleming on a number of issues, and yeah, he wants
• 44:34
  Speaker 8: to Really he's very much into control power, so I
• 44:38
  Speaker 8: guess he wants to have a Senate seat that he
• 44:39
  Speaker 8: controls as well, and was able to convince the President
• 44:43
  Speaker 8: to endorse her. I think it was an unfortunate move.
• 44:47
  Speaker 8: I think doctor Fleming deserved the endorsement. I mean, just
• 44:50
  Speaker 8: one thing to remember Todd on January sixth, twenty twenty one,
• 44:54
  Speaker 8: when so many people in his administration abandoned them, Doctor
• 44:58
  Speaker 8: Fleming was his deputy chief staff at the time.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: He stayed.
• 45:02
  Speaker 8: He stayed until the last day. He didn't leave his post.
• 45:05
  Speaker 8: That to Nisha's loyalty commitment, and it should have been
• 45:08
  Speaker 8: rewarded with an endorsement by the President.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Jeff Creueer joining us on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: today from New Orleans, and I'm with you on this one.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: I think we all have to do our research. We've
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: got to make sure that these Republicans that are getting
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: elected are in fact true conservatives, because we certainly see
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: how it's working out for us right now in the
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: US Senate.
• 45:32
  Speaker 8: Well, and Bill Cassady is exhibit A. I mean, Bill
• 45:36
  Speaker 8: Cassidy should have never been elected, but he got in
• 45:40
  Speaker 8: and he's been a rhino really since day one. And
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: John Cornyn is another. So yeah, we got to do
• 45:47
  Speaker 8: our homework. And here Louisiana, hopefully the voters will. I've
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: got some interesting breaking news to report to you.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: You know, Jeff, Jeff hold On, did you say breaking news?
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: Breaking new hold On news now on the Todd starn Show. Sorry, Jeff,
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: I paid good money for that sounder, So go ahead,
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: what's the breaking news?
• 46:07
  Speaker 8: So I do an event called Politics with a Punch.
• 46:09
  Speaker 8: It's a live stage show that we do. We did
• 46:12
  Speaker 8: it in batter Rouge last night. We had a packed
• 46:14
  Speaker 8: house of folks there. So among this huge crowd, we
• 46:18
  Speaker 8: did a ballot and We asked, you know, who are
• 46:21
  Speaker 8: you going to be for doctor Fleming or Julia Letlow
• 46:25
  Speaker 8: And the results were seventy nine percent for doctor Fleming,
• 46:29
  Speaker 8: the balance for Julia Letlow.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 46:32
  Speaker 8: There was another conservative group that met last night in
• 46:35
  Speaker 8: Homer called We the People. They did also a straw poll.
• 46:39
  Speaker 8: The results of that poll ninety one percent for John Fleming,
• 46:43
  Speaker 8: nine percent for Julia Letlow. So the message is the activists,
• 46:47
  Speaker 8: the people that are engaged, the people that know the issues,
• 46:51
  Speaker 8: are definitely supporting Treasurer Fleming. And I think that bodes
• 46:55
  Speaker 8: well for him because, as you know, in a runoff,
• 46:57
  Speaker 8: the turnout is going to be less. It's more of
• 47:00
  Speaker 8: the activists, more of the engaged voters, and these are
• 47:03
  Speaker 8: the people that study the issues.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: That's a fair points. That is huge news. What do
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: you make of that? I mean, it certainly seems as
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: though Louisiana voters are pretty engaged and they're doing their homework.
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 47:16
  Speaker 8: She won the primary, I believe because she had such
• 47:20
  Speaker 8: a financial advantage over John Fleming. I mean it was
• 47:24
  Speaker 8: like ten to one. I mean, all the money from
• 47:26
  Speaker 8: the packs, all the money that she had raised from
• 47:29
  Speaker 8: the President's endorsement, the governor's endorsement. She inundated the airwaves
• 47:33
  Speaker 8: a lot of attack ads, so she surged towards the
• 47:37
  Speaker 8: end and got forty five percent of the vote. John
• 47:41
  Speaker 8: Fleming came in second, and Bill Cassidy didn't even make
• 47:43
  Speaker 8: the runoffs. So I think in the runoff she's going
• 47:47
  Speaker 8: to continue to have a financial advantage, But I think
• 47:50
  Speaker 8: it's going to be more of the people that know
• 47:52
  Speaker 8: the issues, less of the folks that were maybe we're
• 47:54
  Speaker 8: just trying to get rid of Bilcassidy. That's been done,
• 47:58
  Speaker 8: and now were you going to choose someone that like
• 48:00
  Speaker 8: Bill Cassidy or someone who's a real maga conservative that's
• 48:03
  Speaker 8: the choice.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: Wow, all right, this is it's going to be a fascinating,
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: a fascinating race to watch. And it's again it's an
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: important race, especially with the situation in the Senate right
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: now and you've got the majority leader who is just
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: not budging on nuking the felabuster or moving the Save
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: America Act through. And I'm just curious, what are your listeners.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: You know, when you talk to folks that are listening
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: to the station, what are they telling you are the
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: big issues on their minds?
• 48:31
  Speaker 8: I mean, they're disgusted by the Republicans in the Senate
• 48:34
  Speaker 8: by John Thune. I mean, he's negating the will of
• 48:38
  Speaker 8: the people, the election results from twenty twenty four. I mean,
• 48:41
  Speaker 8: the president was elected on a platform of securing the
• 48:43
  Speaker 8: border and deporting people that are here illegally, and securing
• 48:47
  Speaker 8: elections and making sure we don't have a repeat of
• 48:49
  Speaker 8: what happened in twenty twenty and they're not following through
• 48:53
  Speaker 8: on the Save America Act, they're not confirming his nominees.
• 48:57
  Speaker 8: I mean, it's just it's gridlock there. So that's a
• 49:02
  Speaker 8: problem because Republicans did that to Trump in the first term,
• 49:05
  Speaker 8: and then we lost some majority at the midterm, and
• 49:08
  Speaker 8: then of course look what happened. So these guys need
• 49:11
  Speaker 8: to deliver. I mean, we've got a few months till
• 49:13
  Speaker 8: the midterms and they've got to act. So among my listeners,
• 49:16
  Speaker 8: there's a lot of anger toward these so called Republican
• 49:20
  Speaker 8: leaders in Congress.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: Jeff, I have great respect for you and your radio
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: station because New Orleans is it's a blue city, just
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: like Memphis is a blue city. But you guys are
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: fighting the good fight down there. How's the station doing well?
• 49:35
  Speaker 6: Thank you for that Todd.
• 49:36
  Speaker 8: So we are eighty years old this year, so we're
• 49:39
  Speaker 8: celebrating our eightieth anniversary. We are locally owned, locally operated.
• 49:44
  Speaker 8: We are in contrast to the other stations in New Orleans,
• 49:47
  Speaker 8: which are owned by conglomerates. We've got George Soros, it
• 49:50
  Speaker 8: owns one of the big stations in the area. Well,
• 49:54
  Speaker 8: another one has no local programming at all, so and
• 49:58
  Speaker 8: another one is progressive, far left African American talk stations.
• 50:02
  Speaker 8: So we're really the only station for you know, common
• 50:06
  Speaker 8: sense conservatives and people that like to follow what's going
• 50:08
  Speaker 8: on in the state of Louisiana. And you know, we're
• 50:11
  Speaker 8: working hard to try to present that alternative to listeners
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: in this, as you say, very progressive city. New Orleans
• 50:18
  Speaker 8: has not elected a Republican mayor since eighteen seventy two.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: To wow that long.
• 50:25
  Speaker 8: Yes, Jesus, every problem in New Orleans can be traced
• 50:30
  Speaker 8: back to the Democrats. So we got good things going
• 50:33
  Speaker 8: on in New Orleans, but all the problems, the infrastructure,
• 50:36
  Speaker 8: the blight, the you know, crime, the waste, mismanagement and competence,
• 50:42
  Speaker 8: those are all Democrat problems.
• 50:44

  Speaker 2: a small child and they had one of the most
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: hideous drag queens. I don't litt where they're finding these folks,
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: but these are like the bottom of the barrel dragon queens.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: And these are not lookers, I'll tell you that much.
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: They won't be ring girls in the octagon, that's for sure. Dylan,
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: I'm getting frustrated. I'm reading this. This lawmaker who is

  Speaker 2: who is making these false allegations against us? This is insane,
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: and now everybody's piling on. This is great. I've got
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: to read some of these to you, Dylan. This is great.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: Somebody said, come on, Todd, you're better than that. Reach out.
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: Well we have, We've got all the receipts during the
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: commercial break, What did I say, Dylan, print them out,
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: them out and oh, here we go. I followed Todd Stearns.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: This is from a realtor. I follow Todd Stearns. But
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: I have noticed things are different lately with him. What
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: does that mean?
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: And then someone replied to that his true colors are
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: starting to show. Well, jeez, thelu guys you got me,
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: I'm a Bernie Sanders supporter. Geez a low. I guess
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: the jiga's up, Dylan.
• 55:58
  Speaker 10: That's gonna get taken out of context.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, you better believe it. Next next thing, you know
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: this this Uh, I'm trying to choose my words very
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: carefully here. This candidate will be out there. Todd Stunts
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: says that he's a Bernie Sanders supporter. I told you, peop, Paul,
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: how about just go win an election, ma'am? Why don't
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: you try that instead of picking on us and lying
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: about us? Unbelievable. Oh, the things are not always as
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: they appear, No, sir, they're not as they always appear
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: because they're lying about us. I don't know. Every now
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: and again, and Dylan, we get a lot of this hate, man,
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: we get. Look, the Democrats do this a lot. I'm
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: just always kind of surprising when a Republican doesn't. But
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: sometimes it just gets under the sk it gets under
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: the skin. This happened at a bad time on a
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: bad day. That's we'll just leave it there. Nine oh
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six.
• 57:03
  Speaker 17: This is the Todd Sterns Show.
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: All right, welcome back. I will say this and I
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: my apologies to kyk N and Bartlesville and all of you.
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: Just Houston, bear with me for a minute. If you're
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: a Memphis right now, it really is a bad flooding situation.
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: So just be careful if you're on the roadways out there,
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: and you know, don't become a statistic. But what a mass,
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: what a mess?
• 57:49
  Speaker 10: All right?
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: Want to go to the Patriot Mobile news maker line.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: Say hello to our good buddy from out in Santa Clarita, California,
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: Joe Messina. Joe, good to hang out with you today,
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: my friend.
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: It's good to be with you too.
• 58:01
  Speaker 18: And you do have the directions I'm sure for that
• 58:04
  Speaker 18: whole arc in case you needed right the arc. Yeah,
• 58:10
  Speaker 18: you've got the instruction.
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: I told ken Hamm booked me a seat just in case,
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: justin case. Oh my goodness. You know, Joe, we've been
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: following all of the developments out of California, and of
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: course Steve Hilton looks like he and Gloria Romero are
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: going to be a powerhouse duo there. How does this
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: play out moving forward?
• 58:34
  Speaker 18: Oh, you know, depending on who you're talking to out here,
• 58:37
  Speaker 18: you've got But Sarah doesn't have anything to run on
• 58:41
  Speaker 18: but I think I've told you this before. The Democrats
• 58:43
  Speaker 18: are so afraid of Republicans that they've the Democrats over
• 58:46
  Speaker 18: the decades have done such a great job of painting us,
• 58:49
  Speaker 18: as you know Satan's second cousin, that they don't really
• 58:53
  Speaker 18: want to have much to do with us. And all
• 58:54
  Speaker 18: we can hope for is that things keep getting I
• 58:57
  Speaker 18: know this sounds bad, but all we can hope for
• 58:59
  Speaker 18: is thing keep getting worse out here because of you know,
• 59:03
  Speaker 18: Governor news Comes policies in what he does gas. I
• 59:06
  Speaker 18: think i'll send you a picture yesterday gases up at
• 59:10
  Speaker 18: six eighty a gallon.
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, six eighty a gallon.
• 59:14
  Speaker 18: A gallon, Yes, So I have to keep my foot
• 59:17
  Speaker 18: off the gas pedal, Todd.
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: It's not comfortable for me. Speaking about not being comfortable, Joe,
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: I want to play some audio for you. This is
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: you know, the Democrats have been having a hard time
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: trying to figure out how to attract male voters. I
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: know they're forcing tell Rico down in Texas to eat
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: to eat meat. And now the Gay Men's Chorus of
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles has decided a weigh in. Then they put
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: out a new music video called We're not gonna take it.
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: Let's take a listen to this. I cut sixteen, No, Dylan,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: were you singing along there?
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 10: I thought I didn't think you would notice.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, I kind of noticed that.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 10: That's kind of what I was doing the bass part.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: Obviously they needed some help in that area, Joe. What
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: you did not see were the jazz hands and they
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: were thrusting their pasty white thighs into the air, which
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: was just again, I'm not sure this is gonna like.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: It doesn't exude manliness.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 14: You know.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 18: I'm sure it's sister is just thinking why God is
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 18: not what I wanted a song out there. Well, I
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 18: guess all right, I have to take all that back
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 18: because if you really think about how they would dressed,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 18: maybe they're holding that drag Queen Common don't know anyhow,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 18: this is nothing new with these was this? This was
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 18: DOUN in California, probably West Hollywood.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Gay Men's Chorus,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: and of course the one up in San Francisco. They're
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: just they creep me out because they do that song
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: about We're coming for your children and which is just
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: a weird anthem. But again, it's you know, I think
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: it illustrates just how far out of touch the Democrat
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: Party is with the average guy in America.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 10: God, what do they mean?
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: They're not going to take it.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 18: They got more rights the most straight men have.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: They have more rights as.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 18: A couple than most couples have, right, I mean think
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 18: about it. And they definitely have more money than most
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 18: traditional couples have for sure. So I don't know exactly
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 18: what they're talking about. When they start to dust up,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 18: make noise or push back on things, we well, most
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 18: people cave and give them what they want. So you're right,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 18: they're living in an alternate reality here.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: You know what gets me about when you look at
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: the Democrats and of course the election of Maine where
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: you've got Graham Platner. And it's fascinating because now this
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: is this is a complete reworking of the party platform
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: from being the party of you know where anti Nazi,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: we believe the women should always be believed, and now
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: they're they're the exact opposite of that.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 18: Yeah, well, you and I both thought that's never been true,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 18: you know, go back to see all the way back
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 18: to JFK. Yeah, yes, bring back what about Billy Bob Clinton,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 18: you know, I mean, obviously none of those women were
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 18: believed at all, or if they were almost believed, he
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 18: paid them big bucks they get him to go.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 18: They're just the demonic stuff is just so crawling all
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 18: around them, and they're right in your face with its
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 18: almost like they're saying, go ahead and stop me, because
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 18: the Democrat Party has become that party that they don't
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 18: to your point, the guy's got wors than the Nazi tattoo.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 18: He's got all those charges against him, and I realized,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 18: we're innocentil proven guilty, but my god, he's not even
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 18: at first he wasn't even denying any of it. So
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 18: the Democrat probably loves him. Think about the people all
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 18: across the country that they've got behind the back. Look
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 18: at a socialist up in Seattle, right, I mean, my god,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 18: they they're not just not a touch Todd. They're moving
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 18: to a different planet.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: You know. I like the word you use there, Joe.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: You mentioned demonic because I think there is some sort
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: of spiritual warfare going on. And when you look at
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: the aftermath of the Austin metcalf uh, this this trial
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: in Texas. Now you've got blacks all over the country
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: that are posting pictures they're you know, memes of them
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: urinating on the grave of Austin Metcalf. People are now
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: calling for you know, blacks to openly attack white people,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: which I think is actually happening according to a couple
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: of videos I've seen if they're if they're actually accurate.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: And then you have people like Jasmin Crockett, member of
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: Congress out there basically saying that you know, hey, it
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: was it was just one stab wound. Here's cut thirty four.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: Let's take a listen.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 16: Also, I mean, can we just be real about this,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 16: like who was I mean, like, why you rolling up
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 16: on somebody and being like get out? Like this is
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 16: to me, this is the culture that is being instigated
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 16: mostly because of like like you know, y'alla, how we
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 16: say on the in andet don't let your president get you.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: Up right, like, because people.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 16: They get real bold with us right now, like you know,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 16: in this this whiteness, in this replacement theory crap that
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 16: they on and all of this kind of stuff, and
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 16: it's like, oh, we're a victim because the fact that
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 16: you know, any kid would feel like it makes sense
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 16: to walk in and see this particular kid. I mean,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 16: we've all interpreted that there was a race component to this, yes,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 16: and be like, oh yes, rain in, but get out?
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 4: Like why?
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 9: Like why?
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 14: So?
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: Look, Joe, you know, if you've been to a track
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: and field beat those tents, the team tents are kind
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: of like a dugout or a baseball team or the
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: bench for a football team. And if you're not on
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: the team, you're not supposed to be there. But what
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: concerns me of what Jasmine Crockett says. She's she's saying
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: the quiet part out loud, that the guy who did
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: the stabbing, the black dude is the real victim here.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 18: No, first of all, can we clear shit? Before she
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 18: ran for office, she spoke perfect English. There was no
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 18: ebonics there she right, I mean, she got a plus
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 18: and AP classes And I wonder how long she practiced
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 18: to do that. What an insult that is to the
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 18: people you'd.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: Be telling the truth?
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah, right, So No, this this person had been
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 18: asked several times to leave. He wasn't supposed to be
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 18: on school grounds that day, you know, so.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: You give me a break.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 18: Here are they now allowed? And when I say that,
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 18: I'm sorry, but it seems like black folks or people
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 18: like Jasmine are telling us that black folks should be
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 18: allowed to do whatever they want to do because anytime
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 18: we say please don't, that's a racist. Wait, that's going
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 18: to hit the racist comment list. You watch please don't
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 18: don't do that. And he was only stabbed once. It
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 18: only takes one stab, now, doesn't it.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: Well look so look that's that's not I mean, this
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: is just the tip of the iceberg here. You've got people.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: There's one woman out there saying that the father of
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: Austin Metcalfs be held accountable because he did not teach
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: his sons, his white sons, that black young boys have
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: boundaries and you don't cross those boundaries. The family actually
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: is they're getting death threats and they're getting docked, all
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: their private informations, getting dogs. This is just unbelievable.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 18: Well, this is your new Welcome to your new Democrat Party.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 18: There are no there are no boundaries for them. There
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 18: are no reasons not to do something. They really don't care.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 18: You know, Todd it used to be and I know
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 18: you've heard this a million times. We could disagree. I
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 18: have Democrat friends we disagree with on politics where we
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 18: agree on so many other things. We have lunch, we
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 18: spend time together. But now it's kind of like, if
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 18: you don't agree with me, death to you. That's kind
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 18: of responts at that point in time. And look at
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 18: the things that they're pushing, My god, look at the
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 18: things they're suing Trump on. You can't get I'm gonna
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 18: keep using that term. You can't get more dark or
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 18: demonic than they have become.

• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: k N on this Open line Friday. Hi, Randy, what's
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: on your mind today?
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 14: Hey?
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 19: What I'm calling for? I wanted to find out if
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 19: you've watched the movie Pressure. It was on over the
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 19: A Day anniversary weekends and week I did.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: The name of the movie again is called Pressure.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 19: Yeah, Doc the meteorol just Stark. His life is a
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 19: true it's based on a true story on his life.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 19: But what happened during that time.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: Frame, I had not. I knew that the weather just
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: going back into my history, I knew that was like
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: a huge, huge factor. And whether or not they could
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: even do D Day on D.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 19: Day, Yeah, yeah, because of his decision. We're speaking English
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 19: instead of German probably right now, you know.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 19: And then another movie too that runs parallel to it.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 19: Tom Sellick started it several years ago and is called
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 19: Ike Countdown to D Day.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: I saw that movie, can't.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 19: Yeah, that's a beautiful movie. And I tell people, if
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 19: you can watch the two side beyside, do it. But
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 19: the reason why I called too.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 19: And then also yesterday on Facebook, I happened to catch
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 19: a deal they interviewed Eisenhower twenty years after D Day
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 19: and they were talking about that decision going on the
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 19: fifth or sixth, and I thought, Hi, ironic because he
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 19: talked about going out and seeing the stars shineing, you know,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 19: early in the morning. Well, a friend of mine I
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 19: worked was back in nineteen eighty one. I was his
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 19: last timber falling partner, and buy help him back out
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 19: of the brush. And he worked forty years in the
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 19: woods and never got hurt. Then, on the way home,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 19: he shared a story with me about the Comma stage
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 19: storm out here in the Pacific Northwest. He said it
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 19: once worked out. He said, I got up that morning
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 19: three o'clock. Every morning it's clockwork. Get up at three,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 19: go in the kitchen, plug in my coffee pot, and
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 19: look at He had a barometer, a thermometers everybody's kitchen window.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 19: And he goes that morning, I looked at my barometer
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 19: and he goes, I blink my eyes twice. It was
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 19: so low, very much pressure, so low. He never seen
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 19: it like that before all the years he's been watching it.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 19: He goes, what's going on here? So he said, I
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 19: took my finger and thumb thumped it and it just
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 19: stayed there. And he goes, that can't be right. So
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 19: he said, I walked outside. He goes, three in the morning.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 19: I was still in my underwear. Walked out there, looked
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 19: up in the sky, stars shining, and he goes, Hume,
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 19: he walked back in and had his breakfast, got as
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 19: launch as his partner came by and picked him up,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 19: and he told his partner, he goes, one of two things,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 19: my barometers broke, or he goes, we got one of
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 19: the most horrendous storms getting ready to hit us like
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 19: we've never seen. He goes, why, he goes, he goes,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 19: my barometer. He goes, look at the sky, stars are shining.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 19: Nothing wrong. So they went to work and he goes
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 19: and they were falling an old girl timber like stuff
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 19: from three to ten foot through because they were just
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 19: off the Oregon coast, not too far. And he said,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 19: about ten o'clock, all of a sudden, it sounded like
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 19: a thousand freight trains coming off the ocean. And he goes,
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 19: off in the far distance, you could hear the trees
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 19: up root and the crashing.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: Is that right?
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 19: So he said, we took off running for the pickup
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 19: through our saw us in the back. He goes, we
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 19: got to pick up. And I told my partner listen.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 19: He goes, you know that Clark Cut is down the
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 19: road five miles from here that we come by every morning.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 19: He goes, Yeah, he goes, get to that thing as
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 19: fast as you can, or we're two dead men. So
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 19: he said, he drove that truck seventy five miles or
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 19: not in that old dirt logging road, and they got
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 19: out to that clear cut, and he goes, when we
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 19: got there, he goes, every elk and deer in the
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 19: county was right there in the middle of that clear cut.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 19: And he goes, we drove out in between him. They
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 19: just spread apart in us, so we could drive the
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 19: picckup between them, and we rolled the storm out right
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 19: there with him. He's I could roll the window down
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 19: and slap them on the butt, scratch your ears. He goes,
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 19: they would not move.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: Well, Randy, I wish we could continue on, but we're
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: going to run out of time here. So but what
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: a what a story. They're out in Salem, Orner. The
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: big storm's coming in off the Pacific Pacific coast there,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: my goodness. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: two six our number this story out of the Washington Post.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: Parents are going broke on berries. The right of the
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: piece Hannah Sampson, she's writing that Kristen Fox remembers when
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: she brought home a costco hall of fruit meant to
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: last her three year old twins a week. The carton
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: of raspberries, blackberries, and a container of blueberries were gone
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: by lunchtime. She tells the Post time had like thirty
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: something dollars worth of fruit that they just demolished in
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: one day. Miss Fox works in tech and creates content
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: about raising twins. She said three years later, not much
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: has changed. She says, I'm still going broke on berries
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: and fruit. It's a mimable refrain among parents of young kids.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: Why didn't anyone warn us about the berry budget? Dylan
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: to jewey.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 10: Berries, growing up own straw.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: The insatiable, bottomless appetite that demands multiple grocery store trips
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: a week, that small humans who might refuse to consume
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: anything but sweet, tiny fruits. Kylie Kelsey is the host
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: of Not Gonna Lie podcast. Whether are four kids? She said?
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: It is packs of berries. It has to overcome diapers.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: Some people have offered totally realistic parenting hacks, and this
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: is actually a good idea. You know, if you're worried
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: about spending that much money on berries at the supermarket,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: why not parent? You know, just plant a berry bush,
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: you know, plant your own garden, or maybe you can
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: go out to the berry farm. Right, you can pick
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: your own strawberries. I think that's cheaper than like whole foods.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: But you know, back when, you know, our parents were
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: the same way back when, you know, it was all
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: about the berries. We had fruit loops, we had fruity pebbles,
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: and we had if you know, if mom really wanted
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: us to be healthy, she got the cans of peaches
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: right that were in this like thick syrup, and we
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: were able to you know, those were very, very healthy,
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: and I don't think it busted her budget at all,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: to be perfectly honest with you. Anyway, the post riding
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: about the berry boom, and they say it is now
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: year round, and it's something happening in this generation. Other
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: fruit's not doing so well, including apples, bananas, and grapefruit.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: All right, nobody eats grape Does anybody eat grapefruit? I
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: don't know if anybody who eats grapefruit? Why would you
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: eat grapefruit? It's this nasty except in Fresco, and then
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: that's okay. Fresco is okay. Anyway, all you folks eating
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: the strawberries, about ninety eight percent of them are coming
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: from Mexico. I hope they came across illegally. Don't want
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: to be eating illegal berries. All right, Hanging tide, everybody.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: Our three of the Big Show coming up next. Nine
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. This
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: is the Todd Stearns.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 5: Show, live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: It's America's conservative Blowtorch's.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: This American to start. Well, Hello, everybody, welcome to our
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: three of the Big Show. Great to have you with
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: us today. It is open line Friday. This is the
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: one opportunity you have all week to pote in and
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: talk about whatever is on your mind. You can do
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: that by calling us right now. Nine oh one two
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. Again that number, nine
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. Well,
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: a lot happening up on Capitol Hill as Congress battles
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: over these Fiza Warrence and I want to go right
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: away to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. Our good friend
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: from the great state of Texas, Congressman Keith self. He's
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: one of a handful of Republicans that are standing up
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: for we the people. Congressman, good to have you with
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: us today.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 6: Todd, great to be with you, Thank you so much.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: All right, so give us the latest here on the
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: Fainza warrance. Where are we at in all of.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 6: This, Well, the House passed bill sits in the Senate
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 6: with real reforms, with a permanent ban on the central
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 6: bank digital currency. It sits in the Senate. The Speaker
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 6: of the House thought that he had to take a
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 6: vote that he knew would failed. Yesterday. He put it
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 6: on suspension, which means you have to have two thirds
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 6: of the House, not just half.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 10: We knew it was going to fail.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 6: Nineteen Republicans joined the Democrats. It did fail, as we
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 6: knew it would, as the Speaker knew it would. So
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 6: we're going to hold the line until we get reforms
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 6: for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which means foreign actors on
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 6: foreign territory.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: Now again you've got the majority leader John Thune. He's
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: going after the Democrats, saying this pushed us all in
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: grave danger if we don't have the ability to go
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: in and do what needs to be done without a warrant.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 6: That's what he's saying. But frankly, that's scare tactics. Look,
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 6: I want the Senate to work. The Senate doesn't do
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 6: anything and certainly won't take up a real Peiser reform reauthorization.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 6: But FISA is not going dark. Let's put that to bed.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 6: FEISSA will continue through the court order through March of
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 6: twenty twenty seven. And there's precedent that says if the providers,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 6: the large AT and T and so forth won't give
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 6: you their content, then they can be forced to do so.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 6: In fact, we strengthened that two years ago. So let's
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 6: put that to bed. FISSA collection against foreign actors will continue.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad to hear this, Congressman, because and again,
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: there is so much abuse of this, and I think
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: that's the big concern. I'm not even sure we're ever
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: going to find out exactly how much the deep state
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: abused abuse this.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 6: Well, we know there were hundreds of thousands of abuses
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 6: under the Biden era, and we know that they are
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 6: still happening, perhaps to a smaller degree. But it is
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 6: set up to allow you to have a warrant warrant
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 6: less surveillance of a US citizen after you do the
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 6: initial collection. It's it's it's set up that way. You
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 6: cannot get around it. So we need, We need FAISA,
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 6: We need to surveil foreign actors. But we need to
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 6: make sure that the Fourth Amendment is not a suggestion.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 6: It is an amendment to the US Constitution. We need
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 6: a warrant before you surveil a US citizen.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: Congressman, I know you've been following these disturbing reports out
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: of Belfast, Ireland where a Sudanese national nearly trying to
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: be had an irishman on the streets of Belfast. What's
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: your takeaway on what's happening there Ireland?
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 6: Well, Ireland and the UK in general have masks imported
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 6: the Third World and now they're paying the price for it.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 6: Not only this incident where a man's eye was gouged
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 6: out and they tried to behead him right on the
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 6: street in daylight, but we have gang rapes of young
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 6: women happening kidnap a young woman off the street. This
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 6: is going on in the UK and they are now
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 6: waking up to the fact that they are losing their civilization,
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 6: They're losing their Christian culture. And I will quote the
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 6: greatest British statesman of all time when he said, it
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 6: is not it is not enough that we do our
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 6: best sometimes we must do what is required. Look the
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 6: UK and the British Empire, they're now understanding just what
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 6: is required to claw back their culture.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: Congressman, I see what's happening over there, and I see
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: the rise of Islam in the state of Texas. We
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: had Congressmanship roy On just a few days ago. He
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: is very alarmed about this, and he says there is
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: an intentional effort to flood the zone in Texas. He
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: said that seems to be the crown jewel of the Islamist.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 6: Well, it's the crown jewel of the Red Green Alliance,
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 6: the Marxists and the Islamicists. So it is the crown
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 6: jewel of the United States. We say all the time,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 6: as Texas goes, so goes to the United States. And
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 6: that's what we're looking at here. They are intentionally flooding
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 6: it with Mosque and Muslims that eventually, when they reach
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 6: the tipping point, will start demanding more than just accommodation, intimidation,
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 6: and frankly control. We've got fourteen hundred years of history tide.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 6: When they move into a country, they replace the culture,
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 6: they replace the laws with Sharia law, and eventually they
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 6: control everything and there are elements of Sharia that do
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 6: not comport with US law. Child marriage, women are second
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 6: class citizens. And I could go on and on. This
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 6: is intentional, as Chip said, and it's dangerous and becoming.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 6: And it's moving quickly. That's another key to this. It's
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 6: moving quickly.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: All right. We have Congressman Keith self joining us on
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line today. You know, Congressman the
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: other big story but from Texas, the aftermath of this
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: Carmelo Anthony trial. So many different stories and angles we
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: could take here. I am just so disgusted with the
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: way the mechclaff family they're being treated like they're the
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: criminals here.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, this is really dangerous, dangerous stuff. A young man
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 6: is dead. What we see here is the cultural decline
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 6: that we have, the narcissism. There's no control, there's no
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 6: self control, there's no civic conscience when you do if
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 6: he went intentionally into unintentionally into the wrong tent, then
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 6: this is a tragedy. But it reflects the general decline
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 6: and culture that we have of treating each other with
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 6: any sort of respect. So you know, to murder a
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 6: person because you get pushed or because you get you
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 6: have an argument that is beyond the pale. Our young
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 6: men need to relearn control, They need to relearn some
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 6: sort of self control, because that's what we see growing
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 6: in the United States. My way or the highway. And
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 6: if pulling out a knife and murdering someone is never
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 6: the answer.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: No, And some of the rhetoric coming from you know,
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: people like Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, and again it's this notion
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: that the victim here is Carmelo Anthony and not the
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: young man, the seventeen year old that he stammed to death.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: And now I think the latest is people are posting
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: photographs on social media showing them urinating on the grave site.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: This cannot be American. This, we cannot go down this path.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 6: This is despicable Todd. First of all, let me say that.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 6: But secondly, this is we are reaping the rewards of
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 6: our lazy policing, of our empathy based law enforcement for
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 6: the last thirty years. We're now reaping the rewards where
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 6: people are so entitled that they will do this disgusting,
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 6: despicable reaction to a young man being murdered.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: Well, Congressman, we're going to leave it there. We really
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: appreciate you joining us on the show today, and I
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: know you've been pretty busy this week. We appreciate you
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: spending a few moments with us today. Congressman, thank you
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: so much. Todd all right, the great Congressman Keith self
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: out of Texas weighing in on the big stories of
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: the day. All right, we are going to take a break.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: When we come back, We're going to go right to
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: the phone lines. What is the answer? How do we
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: fix what is broken in our country? Ladies and gentlemen.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: You see, you see what's happening the response to the
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: metcalf family. You see how carmelo an and he's being
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: hailed as some sort of a hero. What is the
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 2: solution to all of that? Nine oh one two six
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six our telephone number, that's nine
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five to nine to six.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: I have a question for you now, if you're turning
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: sixty five, or maybe you are already on medicare, well
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: you could be overpaying right now and you may not
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: even know it. So that's why I want to tell
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: you about Thomas. Now, Thomas did everything right. He did
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: his research, thought he had a handle in his options,
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: but his previous broker did not show him that plan
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 2: that actually fit his life. But Chapter did. Thomas made
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: one call. His Chapter advisor compared every single plan, found
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: a plan that Thomas had never seen before. And get this,
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: Chapter saved him about one thousand dollars a year on prescriptions.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: And that's why I'm partnering with Chapter. Chapters advisors are honest.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: They're not paid to push anybody on one plan. They're
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: the only Medicare advisor that actually compares every plan nationwide
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: to tell you where you stand. In one call, you
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: will know exactly what you are entitled to. And if
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: you're already on the right plan, well they're going to
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: tell you that. If you're not, they're going to help
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: you switch. A call with Chapter is free. It takes
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: less than twenty minutes. And if you're turning sixty five
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: or already on Medicare, go to ask Chapter dot org.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: That's ask Chapter dot org. You know, dyl And I
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: want to go back to the berry story. This one
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: has me has me flustered. So first of all, the
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: woman's complaining because she said she brought home all these
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: baskets of berries and her little kids just like plowed
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: into them and ate them all like within the first hour.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: Well that's on her, right, that's on mom.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, you could argue that because if she put
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 10: them all out at once, I mean, what do you expect.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: Give the kid a cookie, That's what I say.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 10: Way, you can do the cookie and then the berries,
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 10: but not all the berries at once.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: But again, well exactly like you have to parse out
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: the berries.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 10: If you're really trying to save money here.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: That's right, you get three berries choose wisely, okay, like
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: one little blueberry you can use tweezers. Yeah, and you
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: can fix it up, you know, like when you go
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: to the fancy restaurants that you know cost one hundred
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: and twenty five bucks. Yeah, and they don't give any food,
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: but they like designed it on the plate.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that's what you do. Not a fan of that,
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 10: by the way. Oh yeah, no, you're spending a lot
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 10: of money to not eat as much food.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: Well, that is true. That's why I don't like going
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: to those thing and seat those fruit fruit places like
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: steakhouses there you go, don't Yeah, I don't like roos Chris. Yes,
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 2: that's what I'm talking about. You know, people are like
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: they're pooh poohing Ruce Gristle. I don't understand why Ruce
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: Chriss is a fine steakhouse. But anyway, now they're telling people, well,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: you should consider buying berries in the freezer aisle seem
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: first of all, I'm not a big fan of berries,
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: you know. I like the peach cobbler. That's a healthy thing.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: The apple pie that's good. But I'm not a big
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: fan of the raspberry.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 10: So you're not a fan of just straight up berries.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 10: You like for the it to be incorporated in some
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 10: sort of pastry.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: I like banana pudding. Yeah, I'm not a big fan
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: of blueberries at all. Now like the blueberry muffins.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 10: Oh, I like a blueberry muffin. Really, yeah, but I'm
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 10: the same. I don't. I don't just eat straight up berries.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 10: They have to be in something.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: America is berry eating by though. This is according to
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: the Post Dell, and you'll be curious to know this.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: America's berry eating has shifted from a seasonal treat. I
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: will say this. I like strawberry shortcake, yes, and it's
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: got to be fresh. Yeah, sure, it's got to be free.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 10: What about fruitcake?
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah? No, I lose you there, Yeah yeah, that's yeah.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 10: That should be an illegal cake right there.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's from Satan's Bakery. America's berry eating has shifted
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: from seasonal treat to year round habit in a generation.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: So the supply of strawberries per person has more than
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: tripled since nineteen eighty from under two pounds a year.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: Are you ready for this? Dellan? Americans on average eat
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: nearly seven pounds of strawberries a year.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 10: Wow. I mean good for them, right, but I mean
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 10: you're killing the economy here.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 2: However, there is a racial component here, well, not really
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: racial as much as your as sociotomic. So the post
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: breaks it all out. The wealthier you are, the more
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: berries you eat. Okay, so what does that mean? Why
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: does that matter? Blueberries have gone from a supply of
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: less than three ounces per person a year. See, I
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: grew up, nobody ate the blueberries unless it was Booberry.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 18: Was that?
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 14: No?
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: Who is Booberry? Is that a cereal? Somebody will call in.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: I'm getting my cereal characters. There was count Chocula, But
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: was there a Booberry? Somebody tell me I think there
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: was a Booberry. Cereal? Somebody will call in and help
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: us out.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 14: On that.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 2: But anyway, blueberries we went from three ounce less than
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: three ounces to more than two pounds per year. Other
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: fruits have not followed. Per capita supply of apples, banas,
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 2: and grapefruit has fallen since two thousand, Dylan, you know
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: what it is. What's that veggie tales? Yeah, that's why
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: the blueberries.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 10: They got popular, and now everyone wants blueberries.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 2: What was the name of that? Somebody is gonna call
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: them it? No, don't tell William, what do you call it?
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: Total US berry? Here's the problem. We're not even growing
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 2: American berries. I don't know what's up with that.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 10: That's the worst part. They're not even ours us.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 2: Total total US fresh berry imports four point eight billion
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: dollars in twenty twenty five. That's up from one hundred
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: and thirty four million dollars in two thousand. So I
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: guess they're not growing Americans with berries anymore. Wait a second,
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: that came out wrong.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 10: American berries exactly. This is a real problem, Todd.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 15: Wow.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: It's bad enough that China's making all of our medicine,
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: but now weve got Mexico making all of our berries.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 10: Yeah, only the rich and famous can afford.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: And I don't know about this. I don't know about
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: this nine o one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 2: But again, if your problem is and the old point
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: of this was the if your kids are eating too many,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: that's on you as a mom or dad, do what
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: our parents did. Give him some cherryos. All right, let's
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 2: go to the phones here. I think Keith and Bartlesville,
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma is gonna be able to help us out here. Keith,
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: am I losing my mind? I remember a Booberry Cereal.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 20: I have count Choscula, I have Bowberry, and I have
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 20: Frankinberry Frankin Berry's.

• 1:32:37
  Speaker 20: You loved it when you were a kid, though, Yeah.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: Most definitely, most definitely. Wow. So I forgot. I completely
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: forgot about Frankenberry. So Dylan Frankenberry was like Frankenstein, but
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: he had a thing for Berry's.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 10: Is this like Halloween cereal?
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: No, this is Keith. This was like everyday cereal.
• 1:32:55

  Speaker 2: the Republican on Republican violence is an ugly thing.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, especially on us.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: It'll get your girdle bunched up as they say, well,
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: you gotta stop.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, you know, I had to. I didn't
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 3: want to tell on you talk, but I had no
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 3: choice because I'm people. They don't understand what's going on.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: I forgive you problem.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 3: Stop to stop dyeing the woman's clothes and stopping, you know,

  Speaker 2: all right, Patty, take care of yourself. Dylan, what what
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 2: the heck? What's that all about?
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 10: No earth? The idea she's on one today?
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: Well, she made me do drugs. I mean she just
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 2: got out of the hospital. Poor thing.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 10: Yeah, Benjiel did a number on you. So who knows what.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 2: She's across dressing Well. I actually wrote a chapter was
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: this is a terrible story.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: And I hope there are any Clan members listening to
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 2: us today because I got a lot of clan hate mail.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 2: I wrote a column once and it was just a
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 2: parody Dylan on There was a gay chapter of the Clan,
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 2: but instead of wearing the white bed sheets, they had
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: floral prints.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah, good.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: That didn't go over very well. Yeah, I think it
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: hit too close to home.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 10: Yeah, probably, I don't know.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 4: I want to.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 2: Welcome into the studio Anna nice Woger, who has been
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 2: a guest on the program before and the student uh
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: what stood him? Body president at mid America, a seminary
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 2: and somewhat of a conservative. Not I'm just kidding, you're
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 2: really a conservative? And how's it going this summer? Should
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: we tell people that there's another tie in that you
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 2: have to the show? Should we let people know that
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: your brother is eating up all of our digital space
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: because he's building idol of some sort of a space,
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: a spaceship. Have you heard about this?
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 14: You know I have not.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true. It's true. Ian. So Ian is your brother,
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 2: Ian the intern is your brother.
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 14: Yep, my baby brother.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: Wow. All right, do you want to spill any tea?
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: Do you have any tea? As the young people.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 14: Say, Well, when he was little, we called him Mighty
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 14: E because he'd always go grab gallons of milk and
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 14: lug them around the house.
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 2: Mighty e. I love it.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 2: Helen and Dylan are already uh, having loads of fun
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 2: over there, so Anna, No, we love Ian and the
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 2: great work that he's doing. And he's a lot of
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 2: fun of course, you know, we sent him to cover
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 2: of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, which is sort of like
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 2: on the highlight reel I hope for his resume. Oh yeah,
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: so it's you know, those are the rare opportunities he
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 2: has afforded working as an intern here on the show.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 14: I bet it's a great place to be.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: So look, we were talking about berries, Anna and apparently
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: a lot of liberal moms upset because they're they're bringing
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 2: home all the berries from Whole Foods and the kids
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 2: are eating all the berries. And it just seems to
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: me that's not a berry problem. That's a parenting problem.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 14: I think if you give your kids berries, they're going
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 14: to eat the berries. And I don't know that there's
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 14: really a way around that.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 2: You think, So you see, you know for me, and
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 2: I know, Becky, I was speaking an event where you
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 2: were at this event over the a couple of days ago,
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 2: and they gave me a little box of chocolates and
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: they said, oh, yeah, these are healthy chocolates And the
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 2: reason why is because they like snuck fruit in there.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: And there's nothing more disgusting than like chocolate covered fruit,
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: except for the chocolate covered strawberries at initials. I'm not
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 2: a big fruit chocolate guy.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 14: I don't mind chocolate fruit. I think it's great. But
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 14: I don't want it to be a secret. If they
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 14: tricked me into eating fruit, then that's that's the problem.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: I want to know exactly what I'm about to you know,
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 2: when I hit that middle, you know that center? Yeah,
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 2: I want to know, of course you got to. So anyway,
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 2: is that like a big thing. Apparently more Americans are
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 2: eating berries more than any other time in American history.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 14: Wow, that is so interesting. You know, I have not
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 14: I have not heard a whole lot about this, but
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 14: berries are good for you. I think we should buy
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 14: them locally. We've got like Jones Orchard and a bunch
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 14: of great suppliers right here in town.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 2: Well that is a good orchard. I forgot about it.
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 2: I like to go down to the Hernando, Mississippi. They
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 2: got a great farmers market. Yeah, and you can buy
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 2: all this is the cool organic stuff.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 14: It's great.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 2: We have a lot of farmers down there that actually
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 2: listen to the program. So I try to do business
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 2: with those guys.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 14: Oh that's awesome.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 2: All right, we got to talk about this story that
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 2: we invited to come on and talk about I am
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 2: not surprised by this, but apparently the California Board of
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: Regents they're gonna they're very concerned because basically there are
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 2: severe math gaps and so basically kids are coming to
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 2: college and they don't know how to do basic mathematics.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 2: What's going on there?
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 14: Well, that's a big problem. They're letting all these kids
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 14: in for years without any testing, and testing is about accountability,
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 14: not just for the students and testing their knowledge, but
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 14: also for the professors and for their entire education. Are
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 14: they able to do math? And they can't? And now
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 14: some people want the test back, which is great, but
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 14: it's not going to fix the problem, going to make
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 14: the kids able to do math.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: Again, here in the Memphis area, for example, you've got
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 2: a school system, public school system, over seventy percent of
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 2: the kids can't read at grade level. What's the answer here,
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 2: What is the solution? What is going on in these
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 2: schools that these kids are coming out They can't read,
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 2: they can't do math, they don't know their pronouns.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean it is a mess. Memphis Shelby County
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 14: schools have a long way to go. And my generation
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 14: has incredible potential academically, but we're not doing ourselves any
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 14: favors by having such low standards. And that is primarily
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 14: a systemic issue because our school system is not valuing education.
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 14: We're focusing on social issues rather than actual quality education that.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: Is InTru you know. And again you see, we've seen
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: a massive increase in homeschooling and a lot of it
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 2: hasn't even really it doesn't really have anything to do
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: with religion. It's just that parents are so frustrated that
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 2: their kids are learning what they should be learning in
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 2: public school.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 14: Right right, I mean, we have students arriving now, even
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 14: at top universities, under prepared, and so we have to
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 14: ask what happened before that led them all the way
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 14: through elementary, middle and high school. And then they get
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 14: to college and they don't know anything. And that's because
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 14: they were not taught any anything that they needed.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 2: It's I remember, I don't know if they still do this,
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 2: but back in the dark ages when I went to college,
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 2: they had something called like remedial algebra or remedial English.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 2: So if your test scores weren't good, they would stick
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 2: you in that class. And I'm thinking. Okay, you're in
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 2: college right now, you should have already mastered those basic
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 2: skills for sure.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 14: And it's it's really a cultural problem because we don't
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 14: value education anymore. We value we value our social issues.
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 14: We value sports and schools a whole lot, and I
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 14: love I love a good football game. But we need
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 14: to change the culture to valuing education and learning again.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 2: How do we do that?
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 14: I think it has to completely reframe the way we
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 14: think about it. Instead of trying to teach everyone what
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 14: to think and focus on agendas, we need to learn
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 14: how to think again. And we need to look at
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 14: education not only as a means of learning, of learning
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 14: philosophy and history, but also of learning how to do
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 14: practical things, which is an aspect we've totally lost, sort.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: Of critical thinking then, mm hm, And that's sort of
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 2: gone by the wayside, it has. I know, there's been
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of conversation even within Okay, fine, you're not
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 2: going to send your kid to a private school, or
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 2: you're not going to go to a public school. The
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 2: kinds of homeschooling educations out there, you know, the classical education.
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 2: Tell me about your own experiences.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I was homeschooled all the way through, and it
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 14: was an incredible experience. I had parents that really valued
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 14: critical thinking, and they didn't just give me a viewpoint
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 14: and say, now this is your viewpoint. Of course, they
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 14: taught me this is what's right. These are where we
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 14: got our ideas. But you need to know how to think,
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 14: and you need to look at history. I need to
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 14: understand what has happened and how we got to the
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 14: place that we are in. And that really leads you
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 14: to value your culture, to value your country, and to
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 14: think critically, and it enables you to take steps into
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 14: the workforce.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 2: It is interesting, though, when you look at things like,
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 2: for example, spelling bees and all these things where you're
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 2: putting the homeschool kids up against public school kids. By
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 2: and large, they're winning those competitions, and they're leading the
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 2: pack in a lot of these you know, STEM groups.
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 2: What do you make of that.
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 14: For a while, there is a lot of concern that
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 14: the homeschool kids are not going to be able to
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 14: compete against the public school system, and we've seen now
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 14: that is not at all the case. The homeschoolers are
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 14: leading in so many different areas, especially in STEM areas.
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 14: They get into better colleges and they're getting better scholarships.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 14: And that's because homeschooling allows you to focus on real education,
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 14: reading and writing in math and leave a bunch of
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 14: the fluff behind.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 2: I love that Dylan turn your microphone on. So you
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 2: know the other thing about homeschooling, can we just can
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 2: we get real here for a minute. That's what we do.
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 2: They always the argument is, well, if you homeschool your kids,
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 2: your kids are not going to be like they'll be
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 2: kind of socially awkward. For the record, we don't believe
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 2: Ian is socially awkward. We think he's cool.
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 10: He's very cool.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 2: Actually he's cooler than us. Yeah, I'm kind of concerned
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 10: Cooler, smarter.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 2: Theoretically he could actually host the show. That's how concerned.
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 2: But it's true, you know, I mean, these are all
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 2: these are all unfounded stereotypes. But I just you know,
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 2: I love the homeschool community, especially in Western Tennessee, you know,
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 2: where there are tons of things for kids to do
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 2: and for families to do.
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 14: Absolutely, yeah, homeschoolers have access to all the same extracurricular
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 14: speech and debate and sports and all of that. It's
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 14: really not a legitimate concern anymore as far as socialization,
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 14: because there are so many options.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 2: That's good. Well, that's good because you don't want to
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 2: be like the Audio Visual Club, you know, that's nobody
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 2: wants that.
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 14: You've got a cool crew back there. I don't know
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 14: about that at.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 2: The A V Club. So that's they're like, what are
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: you guys doing?
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 10: I have no idea. We need to come up with
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 10: a name.
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 2: We gotta go with a name. What's Ian's nickname again?
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 10: Mighty e?
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 2: Mighty e? Well, all right, if.
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 14: Years since we've used that one?
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. All right, well, and look, thank you
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 2: so much for dropping by, and we'll get you back
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 2: on to talk politics. And because you are working out
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 2: with one of the campaigns, how's that going. Are you
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 2: guys having a lot of fun? Door knocking and all that.
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 14: It's going great. I love it. Such a great opportunity
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 14: to get out and talk to people, hear their issues,
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 14: their concerns, and see how we can implement that in
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 14: whatever the next governor's administration.
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 2: We we got to get out the vote.
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 14: Absolutely August six, all right, and.
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 2: A nce wander everybody on in our Patriot mobile studio.
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 2: I gotta take a break. We'll be right back, Dylan.
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 2: I am excited about Fight Night at the White House.
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 2: This is going to be so much fun. By the way,
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 2: the big event was what Sunday night. And there's concern
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 2: because there are may be thunderstores, but I think there
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 2: is a covering over the octagon, the squared circle, if
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 2: you will. But anyway, going back to and we've had
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of people weighing in, and most people do
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 2: not believe the Octagon girls their outfits are a violation
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 2: of the flag code because they're really not the flag.
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 2: You know, the flag thirteen, You've got the thirteen stripes,
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 2: you've got the fifty stars, So if you don't have
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 2: all of that, then it's really not the flag. Kind
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 2: of looks like a flag, but it's not really the flag.
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 2: This is the headline Trump UFC fight faces tough opponent, heat, humidity,
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 2: and bugs. Will competitors collapse well they get punge. Yeah,
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 2: the headline here temperature is soaring so high that Trump's
• 1:49:07
