  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: common sense conservative commentary from Todd Start.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: American.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: All right, I looked, I've been going over all of
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: the data coming in from last night in Georgia as
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: well as Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and look, it was it
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: was a good night for it was.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: A good night for President Trump. And you know a
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: lot of people were saying, well, you know, all whatever
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: happens on Tuesday, this is finally, this is finally decision
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: day for President Trump. A refer on the Trump presidency
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: thus far, and that is certainly the way it was
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: portrayed in the mainstream media, certainly the way it was
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: portrayed by a lot of the What we've got to
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: come up with a name for all of these folks
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: on the social media, these so called conservative social media influencers,
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: the MTGS, Tucker Carlson's, Alex Jones, Nick Wuent does, all
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: of that crowd. There's got to be a collective name
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: for them. And no, no, goon squad is not No,
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: that's not appropriate. But all that to say, they were
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: all predicting that this would be Trump's downfall, and that
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Thomas Massey, the congressman from the fourth Congressional District in Kentucky,
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: was going to bring down the Trump presidency and that
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: just simply did not happen. I mean, this was a
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: good old fashioned butt thumping last night in the Commonwealth,
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: and I have to tell you I am not surprised
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: by this. So we're going to break this down as
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: best I can today. We're going to be taking your
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: calls as well, because a lot of people do believe
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: this was a referendum on the Trump presidency and the
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: war in Iran. Now, I am one of these people
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: who is well somewhat conflicted by a lot of stuff.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: But at the heart of it, the base and this
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: is really where I think a lot of these people
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: are getting they're going a little bonkers crazy is they
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: don't have a foundation. You know, a lot of these folks,
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: and you know the Megan Kelly's and Tucker Carlson's and
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: all that crowd. They're looking for clicks. They're looking for
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: the latest thing to jump on too, So they really
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: don't there's really no moral center there. It's really whoever's
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: paying whoever's paying their paycheck. And look, some people live
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: their life like that. I'm not judging them, I'm not.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: That's just not how I live my life, and that's
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: not how we conduct our business on this radio program.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, I mean, I get in
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: trouble from all sides, and it's only because I don't
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: work off of work off off of talking points, and
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: I just speak my mind on things. And the reason
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: why is I have a foundation. I think most Americans,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: I think most of you you've got a foundation. You
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: you have a belief system, and from that belief system,
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: everything else permeates from that. So for me, I operate
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: as a as an evangelical Christian, a believer in Jesus Christ,
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: and my belief system flavors every single thing I do.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Some people would call it a a worldview, and I do.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: I have a Christian worldview, and so everything that I do,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: whether it's I don't know, going going to the grocery store,
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: going to you know, voting on election today, it's it's
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: flavored through that. And that's just how I live my life.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: So all that to say, my foundation in politics is
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: the Trump agenda, the America First Agenda. I have embraced
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: that agenda and it troubles me. Yes, it troubles me
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: that we are in a war in Iran right now.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: But the reality is if, and again, all of this
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: is contingent upon the fact that the evidence we were
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: given is true. If in fact they were ready to
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: have nukes, we could not allow the Iranians to have
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: nuclear weapons. We just could not do that. And I'm
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: gonna be honest with you, I have yet to see
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: the evidence that they were about ready to have a
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: nuclear program. But that's what we were told and I'm
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: believing the White House and I'm believing the Pentagon. But yeah,
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: this war, it's it's troubling, and I share a lot
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: of concerns with the rest of you that this cannot
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: be a forever war. And I hate to break it
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: to everybody, but it certainly looks like it is beginning
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: to be forever war. I don't see the end game here,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: and it's certainly not in the near future. Maybe who knows,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: who knows, But that's a big issue for a lot
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: of people, especially a lot of younger Americans. I get
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: that Thomas Massey staunchly opposed to the war, no doubt
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: about it, But again, is that enough for you? To
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: simply blow up the Trump presidency, and I don't believe
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: it is. And I will say this, and this has
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: nothing to do with Donald Trump at all, Absolutely nothing
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: to do with Donald Trump at all. But I am
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: gravely concerned about what happens when the Democrats regained power.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: I truly am, because the reality is not much has
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: been accomplished by the Trump administration in all seriousness. It
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: just hands them. And you can blame Congress for a
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: lot of that. A lot of the things have not
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: been codified. The President issuing a lot of executive orders,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: but those executive orders are being simply ignored in many cases,
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: which is why in California right now you have transgender
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: athletes that are still competing against young ladies, and those
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: school districts have not been defunded. You still have the
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: anti semitism raging on university campuses. Those universities have not
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: been defunded. Again, they are all standing in opposition, in
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: direct opposition to President Trump's executive orders. The Department of Education,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: it is still standing. I have been calling for that
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: to be dismantled and demolished, but it's still there. And
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: I do believe that there is going to be great
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: retribution against conservatives if the Democrats ever reclaim power in Washington, DC.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: And I know that because they're telling us that. And
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: when the Democrats tell you something, they will do it.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: They are serious. Republicans not so much, but the Democrats aren't.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: But look Thomas Massey last night, and all my estimation,
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: he learned a very important lesson, and it's something I
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: think all of us learned as kids. You don't tug
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: on Superman's cape. You just don't do that. Massey must
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: have I don't know, he must have been been absent
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: that day from the school. But it's the same lesson
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Senator Bill Cassidy learned, and those five Indiana state senators
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: and you know what, Senator John Cornyn in Texas he
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: is about to learn that lesson as well. So it's
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: really what happened yesterday for me, not much of a surprise,
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: just again a reaffirmation that the American people want Republican
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: members of Congress to stand with President Trump and advance
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: his agenda. And we have seen this play out across
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: all of the primaries. Any lawmaker who has tried to
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: sabotage or stop the agenda has been sent packing by voters.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: I think the voters. I think you guys are just
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: sick and tired of all the chaos. But right now
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: President Trump is in control of the Republican Party. And
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: I know there was all this chatter among the legacy
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: medias and all, you know, the president's credibility on the line. Well,
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: you know what, not anymore. Honestly, it was not on
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: the line at all, but that was their narrative going
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: into it. Last night, I was watching all the mainstream
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: media channels and then you've got MTG MTG announcing on
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: X that the Republican Party's future was destroyed because of
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: the loss of Thomas Massey. Do you believe that to
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: be true? Ladies and gentlemen, do you believe that Thomas
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: Massey was the leader of the Republican Party. Writing on X,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: she said this, I am proud and thankful to have
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: served in the US House of Representatives with my friend
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Thomas Massey, a giant among weak pathetic men. Releasing the
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: Epstein files was our demise, but it was worth every
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: single bit, by the way, so she's saying that since
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: they forced the release of the files, this is all payback.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: She went on to say, but it was worth every
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: single hit because now everyone knows the truth. You are
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: ruled by the Epstein class that cares nothing about you,
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: and your elected leaders are bought in controlled by a
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: foreign lobby. Okay, well that's simply not true. And I
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: saw a lot of this last night. This is ugly stuff.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: But the argument coming from the MTG crowd is that
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: the Jews now control the fourth Congressional district in Kentucky.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: That was like Benjamin dat Yaw who actually saw a graphic,
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Benjamin dat ya who as the winner of the Republican
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: primary there in the fourth Congressional district. Yeah, that's that's
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: just anti semitism, is what that is. And I don't
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: know about you, I'm getting little tired of all this
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: jew hating nonsense being spewed by those who profess to
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: be America First conservatives. And by the way, just a
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: question for MTG here, because she's saying, you know, the
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: republics in grave danger and all this kind of nonsense.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: All right, I'm just curious why did MTG abandon her
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: post and her constituents. I mean, if things really are
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: that bad, instead of standing and fighting, she turntail and
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: ran home. I'm just curious. I mean, if it really
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: things really are as bad as she says they are.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: You know, the other part about this is is Thomas
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Massey and the guy's really he's a jerk. And look
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: that's every everybody in Washington knows this about the guy.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: But he is just really a low class kind of
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: a guy. And he said some things during the during
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: his speech last night. Cut number thirty please.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: I would have I would have come out sooner, but
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: I had to call my opponent and concede, and it
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: took a while to find ed Gal Ryan and tel Aviv.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: I did get the call through, though I have. I
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: have called and conceded the race. We've been honorable the
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: whole time and we're gonna stay that way. But here's
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: one thing I saw in Fox. They were saying, oh
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: my goodness, you know we're ready for war. There's about this.
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: We're about to restart this war. We were supposed to
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: restart this war today. But we can't restart this war today.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: The war can't start today. They said, we got a
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: way today. And then it like it occurred to me,
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: where was the Secretary of War yesterday?
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: He was here? Listen, wait wait, wait.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: Wait, no, look on the look on the bright side.
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: No war wars, no more wars, no more wars.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: All right, all right, good, We're good that you get
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: the gist of it there. So, first of all, I
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: actually got a message from somebody today and they said,
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: is this true? Is it true that that Massy's opponent
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: was actually in Tel Aviv last night and not celebrating? No, no,
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: he was. He was not in Tel Aviv. It was
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Massy was cracking an anti Semitic joke. That's what he
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: was doing. His opponent was in the fourth Congressional district
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: standing in a hotel room, actually celebrating with his supporters.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: That's what he was doing. I'm telling you it's and
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: the argument is all said, he's just telling a joke. Yeah, okay,
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: anti semitic jokes, still anti Semitic. But again, I want
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: to I've got a lot more to say about this,
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: and I want to get to your calls as well.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: But let me let me see if we can wrap
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: it up for this quick segment here. I think these
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: primaries are also enough reminder that real life does not
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: happen on Facebook or x or TikTok. That is not
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: real life. Real life is happening at home, at church,
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: at your little league games, on the job site, maybe
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: down to the local diner having a cup of coffee.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: That's where real life is happening. It's not happening on X.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: And unfortunately many of our politicians they have completely lost
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: sight of that truth, and so they're crafting all of
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: their campaign messaging based on what a bunch of blowhards
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: are tweeting about on X and many of those are
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: just I don't foreign bots. The fact is that these
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: congressional raises ultimately really are about local issues. Are you
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: serving your constituents when they got a problem getting their
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Social Security check? Is your team back of the district
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: office handling that when you've got veterans that can't get
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: their benefits? Or are you helping them get their benefits?
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Are you are you posing for photographs with the sixth
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: grade class on the tour of Washington, d C. In
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: your congressional office? Are you doing those things? Because ultimately,
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: when it comes to these house raiss that's what really matters.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: And I'm trying to tell you that right now, right
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: now in the fourth Congressional District, that's what those issues
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: were really all about. I mean, don't get me wrong,
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: the Epstein file is a huge story. I've been saying
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: from day one, release all the information, let it all
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: out there, and if somebody broke the law, they've got
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: to pay the price. I've been very clear about that.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: But the issue here at the end of the day
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: is that releasing the Epstein files. Do you think people
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: down at the Bigley Wiggley and the fourth Congressional District
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: of Kentucky we're talking about that, you really think that
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: was the big issue on their minds or do you
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: think it may have been, I don't know, figuring out
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: how to pay for that bag of groceries or figuring
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: out if they got enough money to fill up the
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: gas tank in the pickup truck. You see. I believe
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: at the end of the day, Congressman Massy just forgot
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: that he was supposed to be serving the interest of
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: the good people of the fourth Congressional District and not
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: a bunch of extremist bots on social media. So we're
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: going to open up the phone lines here and I'm
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: telling you, I don't think there's a wrong answer here.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: There is so much frustration within the Republican Party and
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: it is all righteous. I mean it is. I get it.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: People saying the gas prices are are too high. Then
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: other people in the party are saying, oh, you should
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: suck it up and do your patriotic duty. No, no,
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: gas prices are too high. Period. Nine oh one two
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: six zero five nine two six is our telephone number.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: This is the Todd Starn Show.
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: Hey, guys, quick, heads up. This is actually a big one.
• 15:51
  Speaker 7: We're saying goodbye to something that's helped thousands of families
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: over the years. The Patriot Power Generator, one of the
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: best selling solar generators of twenty twenty five, is officially
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: being retired. And the reason they've just released something even better.
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: It's called the Patriot Power Generator two two zero zero
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: X and this is their most powerful model yet. It's
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: built for real life situations, storms, outages, emergencies, when you
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: need power the most. To launch it. They're doing something
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: pretty crazy right now. You can get five hundred dollars
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: off the generator. Plus they're including two free solar panels,
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: so you can double your charging power right out of
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: the box. They're also throwing in a heavy duty roll
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: in go kart an extended three year warranty, and if
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: you're a senior or a veteran, you can save an
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: additional two hundred dollars. And here's the part that really
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: stands out, because they offer a payment plan. You can
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: get started today for just two hundred and ninety nine
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: dollars and its ships as soon as tomorrow. But this
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: is a limited launch offer. It's first come, first served,
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: and these kinds of deals don't stick around, especially with
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: how un predictable power outages have been lately. So if
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: you've ever thought about having backup power for your home,
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: now's the time to do it. Stay safe, stay prepared,
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: and don't wait until the lights go out. Go to
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: starnsprepper dot com right now to take advantage of this
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: limited time offer.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: All right, looking at some of the data coming out
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: of Georgia from last night. You know, just an interesting thing.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: By the way, both big Republican races, and we predicted
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: this yesterday, both of those races going to runoffs, and
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: you've got Derek Julie who came in second place, Mike
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Collins and the Senate race. I'll say this one of
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: the interesting things statewide. About Collins is he did incredibly
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: well and won far more counties than the other the
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: top three guys, no doubt about it. Buddy Carter actually
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: did a pretty darn good job and he captured all
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: of southeastern the southeastern part of the state of Georgia.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: But really it was Collins who did quite well. Dooley
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: did extremely well in the Atlanta area, the Atlanta suburbs,
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: and of course Athens, Georgia. His father, by the way,
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: the Great Vince Duley, who was a former head coach
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: of the Georgia Bulldogs, and now Bert Jones and Rick
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Jackson are going toe to toe. Now here's the interesting
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: thing I've noticed about this race. Because the Democrats have
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: Keisha Lance Bottom's former Atlanta mayor. She won the primary
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: on the Democrat side. Democrats turn there were more Democrat
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: voters in Georgia than there were Republican voters in the primary.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: What do you make of that? And I'm curious to
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: hear from you folks in Georgia. Why are the Republicans
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: not getting out the vote like the Democrats are. This
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: has been a problem, by the way across the board
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: when it comes to primaries. At least in this election cycle.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: But now Bert Jones, he's the guy that has Trump's endorsement.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: The Lieutenant governor had to him on my NEWSMAC show
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Just What the day before the election on Monday. And
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: he is taking on Rick Jackson, who is a healthcare
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: executive Rick Jans. Jackson is putting out messages implying that
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: he's the Trump nominee, when in fact it's Bert Jones.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: So those two now going a toe to toe in
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: a runoff, by the way, thirty eight percent of the
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: vote by Jones, thirty two percent by Jackson. That is
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: going to be a fun race to watch, and we'll
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: see if President Trump will maintain his endorsement of Bert Jones,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: who came in first place, by the way, in a
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: very crowded field on the gubernatorial side. All right, we
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: will go right to your phone calls nine oh one
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: two six zero five, nine two six. That's nine oh
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: one two six zero five, nine two six. This is
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: the Todd Sterns Show.
• 20:13
  Speaker 8: Right, Can you ask me one question? Why did Trump
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: say what he did when he was asked about the
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: Iran moar and what people have to pay for gas
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: and all that, and he says, I'm not doing nothing.
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: He says, all I care about is no nuclear weapons
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: for Iran.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: That's it, all right. That was Ricky. He was listening
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: to us on the Ton Sterns Show app and to
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: send us a shout out. By the way, you can
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: do that. All you have to do is go to
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Tom Sterns dot com and click on the app. Download.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: It takes like two seconds, and you can send us
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: a shout out, just like Ricky did. There. Look, the president,
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: the President says that he doesn't think about the skyrocketing
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: gas prices, and he says the gas prices are peanuts.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: But he's talking and you've got to understand the context here.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: The President says that he is more focused on making
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: sure Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon. That is more
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: important than temporarily high gas prices. That was the context.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: But it's still a bad thing. I mean, gas prices
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: are high. The concern is are they going to go
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: higher as the summer months go on? And is that
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: going to influence your decision to go and vote in
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: the middimal elections. All right, let's go to the phone
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: lines here as promised, nine oh one two six zero
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: five nine two six Sonny and o'calla Florida listening to
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: us on WOCA. Hi, Sonny, what's on your minds?
• 21:45
  Speaker 9: By opening statements earlier? You mentioned Durand it seems to me,
• 21:53
  Speaker 9: why should we always be the country that picks up
• 21:56
  Speaker 9: the pieces for the broken parts by other countries. I
• 22:01
  Speaker 9: think it's about time. Maybe our Congress and the President
• 22:05
  Speaker 9: should go to the UN and get them involved. And
• 22:09
  Speaker 9: if they can't do.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: This, wait, wait, Sonny, do you really are you serious?
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: You're you think the UN is going to come to
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: the defense of the United States.
• 22:19
  Speaker 9: Well, yeah, because if they don't with a defense of
• 22:23
  Speaker 9: the United States is the defense of the free world. Well,
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: in the world, it's the UN. So to me, the UN,
• 22:34
  Speaker 9: if they can't do something, we were to get the
• 22:36
  Speaker 9: hell out of the UN and get the UN out
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: of the United States. It sits on six and a
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: half fakers in Manhattan, New York.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Prime real estate too, right there on the East River.
• 22:49
  Speaker 9: I'll tell you how prime it is. They sell property
• 22:54
  Speaker 9: by the square foot in Manhattan and that's six and
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: a half akers. That's doing nothing as far as I'm concerned.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Well, Sonny, I look, I have no use for the
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: United Nations, and quite frankly, we should have kicked them
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: out of the country a long time ago. Uh, they're
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: taking up space, they're they're squandering our money and resources
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: and we get nothing. We get nothing out of it.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: And you know, to the to the point, our good
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: buddy wyat Cox over at the Nevada TA Network, I think,
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: really sum this up nicely. What what good is cheap
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: gas if we have nuclear clouds over our cities. I mean,
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: that's ultimately, at the end of the day, that's the
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: big question, you know, that we're dealing with here. Sonny. Look,
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: I hear you, and I wish you in would do
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: the right thing. But the United Nations, they don't look
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: out for the good guys. They defend the bad guys.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: And that's that's just what they do. Sonny.
• 23:53
  Speaker 9: Why either they do something for the people that pay
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: money into this organization or they get Yeah, like I said,
• 24:01
  Speaker 9: get the UN out of the US and the US
• 24:05
  Speaker 9: out of the UN.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Well, there you go. That's it. I mean, it really
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: is that simple, Sonny. Thank you for the call. Nine
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: oh one two six zero five nine two six is
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: our telephone number again, that number nine oh one two
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: six zero five nine, two six. You know, going back
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: to Georgia for just a moment, and the sad reality
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: is they're dealing with the situation that you folks in
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: North Carolina have been dealing with. What You've got all
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: these folks moving in and unfortunately they're bringing their politics
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: with them. You know, for the longest time, Georgia used
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: to be a rock solid red state. Now they have
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: two Democrat senators and a lot of that, quite frankly,
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: were just blatant mistakes from on the part of Republican
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: Party leadership, which by the way, is a mess in Georgia.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: It's just a mess, and you got to get it together,
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: and you've got to find candidates who are electable. Mike Collins,
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: I think the guy's got a shot here. I really do.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: But again, if you are going to try and knock
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: off a first term congressman, now is the time to
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: do it. His first election, and this is John Osoff's
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: first election. So this is the opportunity. The Republicans know
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: that Democrats know it as well. There's gonna be a
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: lot of money thrown around in Georgia. This is a huge,
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: huge state. Georgia is one of the lynch pins when
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: it comes to maintaining control of the Senate this fall.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: That's how big big of a deal it is. Oh,
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: by the way, big m mother Obama. She's really upset
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: with all you maga people, and I want you to
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: hear what she had to say.
• 25:47
  Speaker 10: I can't look some people in the face and tell
• 25:50
  Speaker 10: them you have no right to be angry or to
• 25:52
  Speaker 10: do something that maybe is against your own interest. That's
• 25:56
  Speaker 10: what that's human nature. Many of the people who voted
• 25:59
  Speaker 10: for my husband toy twice, and I know that that's
• 26:03
  Speaker 10: how they feel. It's like, this isn't this isn't about
• 26:06
  Speaker 10: anything other than I'm just need we need something different.
• 26:10
  Speaker 10: They voted for Donald Trump. Yeah, you know, it's a
• 26:12
  Speaker 10: lot of people. So you can't just pigeonhole them and
• 26:17
  Speaker 10: say you just don't care and you're racist or whatever
• 26:20
  Speaker 10: you're thinking. This is an act of I don't know
• 26:23
  Speaker 10: what else to do. I just wish we had more
• 26:28
  Speaker 10: leaders that were figuring out how to do more for
• 26:31
  Speaker 10: the middle class, for the working folks, because those are
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: the folks who are drowning in this economy. It's not
• 26:39
  Speaker 10: me anymore, but I know those folks and they're good
• 26:44
  Speaker 10: people and they don't have a way out, and that
• 26:48
  Speaker 10: makes for bad choices.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: So she says, all you Maga people, you are desperate
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: and you're making bad choices. You're making bad life decisions.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: This is coming from a woman who married Barack Hussein Obama.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: By the way, do we know if her new You know,
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: she does a new hairdo every couple of weeks. Any
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: inclination that she might be I don't know, dressing up
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: as Princess Leiah now with the buns on either because
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: of the whole death star thing. I mean, it would
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: be thematic if you will. But Michelle Obama, that's really
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: rich coming from the fact that her husband once called
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: all of you mega people out there, gun toting, Bible clinging, uh,
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: desperate people. Remember that back in the San Francisco days. Oh,
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: haikm Jefferies weighing in on all of this, and again
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: I told you we just cannot allow these people anywhere
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: near power. Again. And here's the reason why this is
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: Haikim Jeffries on the strategy against the MAGA movement. Take
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: a listen.
• 27:51
  Speaker 11: I guess part of how we as House Democrats view
• 27:54
  Speaker 11: this moment. Either MAGA extremists are going to break the country,
• 27:59
  Speaker 11: or we're going to break them, and our goal is
• 28:01
  Speaker 11: to break them. We will defeat them. We have to
• 28:06
  Speaker 11: beat them electorally, and then we have to break their
• 28:08
  Speaker 11: spirit because of the extremism that's being unleased in the
• 28:12
  Speaker 11: American people. That's completely and totally unacceptable.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Do you hear the language coming out of these people.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: This is not some like you know Justin Pearson, the
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: guy with the power for Ojai Ivan Justin as we
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: call him. Now, this is the House Minority leader, the
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: guy who could be the next Speaker of the House,
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Hakim Jeffreys, dollar store Obama out there, and the guy said,
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: it's the same rhetoric. He's spewing, the same rhetoric saying
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: he's got to break your spirit. If you're a member
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: of the America First movement, the Democrats want to break
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: your spirit. Remember what Bernie Sanders his campaign staff said
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: in those undercover videos where if they had if they
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: had won that election back in twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen,
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: they were going to put Trumps supporters in re education camp.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, this is not this is not made up.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: This was all on the videos that were the undercover
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: videos filmed by James O'Keefe. It shocked a lot of people.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: Or Barack Hussein Obama al on the campaign trail in
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight in Bugs County, Pennsylvania.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Yours surely was there as a reporter, part of the
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: traveling press with Obama when he said that the Republicans
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: His Attorney General, Eric Holder said, if they go low,
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: we go lower. That's the rhetoric coming. And by the way,
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: all of that rhetoric leads to violence against conservatives. And
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: we have seen this time and time again. And never forget,
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: never forget what they did to Charlie Kirk, never forget
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: what they tried to do to Donald Trump. Never forget
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: what they did to Steve Scalise. And had had that
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Bernie Sanders supporter who opened fire at the Republican baseball practice,
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: had he been successful, would have had nearly all of
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: the House Freedom Caucus wiped out on that baseball field.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: Never forget who these people really are. It was a Democrat,
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: a Thespian by the name of Booth, John Wilkes Booth
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: who shot and killed Abraham Lincoln, an actor So when
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: the Hollywood people are out there saying, yeah, we got
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: to start killing Magot people, you better pay attention because
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: they're serious about it. All right, let's go to Billy
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: and Texas listening to us on kg Why in and
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: the Texas Panhandle? Billy, what's on your mind today?
• 30:38
  Speaker 12: Hi?
• 30:38
  Speaker 13: Are you hey? What I want to know is why
• 30:41
  Speaker 13: in the United States? I know we have our gas stories,
• 30:45
  Speaker 13: but why don't we set up a deal to have
• 30:49
  Speaker 13: gas for certain situations, like it's the High Ran deal
• 30:51
  Speaker 13: and release it back into the market.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: So you're talking about the emergency reserves, the oil reserves.
• 31:00
  Speaker 13: Yeah, where they could release it and then we don't
• 31:01
  Speaker 13: have pay a World Prize Court, which I don't understand.
• 31:04
  Speaker 13: But they're talking like we've got an abundance of gas.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: Well, we're supposed to be energy and dependent. I mean,
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: that's that was all what the White House told us.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: And the last numbers and I just had to pop
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: this up here, but the last numbers three hundred and
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: seventy four million barrels of crude oil and that's in
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and that is set aside for
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: like very very bad situations. I don't think we're there yet, Belly.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: But the concern is those levels are at the lowest
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: level since July of twenty twenty four. So, I mean,
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: these are all valid questions, and these are questions that
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: ought to be raised by members of Congress.
• 31:44
  Speaker 14: You know.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: Again, the idea is, are we why is the price
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: of gasoline in America dependent upon what's happening at the
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: straight offour moves?
• 31:52
  Speaker 13: That's what I want to know. And also I want
• 31:55
  Speaker 13: to know why the government can't just drop all the
• 31:58
  Speaker 13: taxes off the gas when we have situations like guess
• 32:02
  Speaker 13: Sun States would be almost a buck coming out there gasoline.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, Billy. We had last week on the show,
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: we had the governor of Indiana, Mike Braun, good guy,
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: and that's the first thing he did. He suspended the
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: state gas tax there in Indiana. So there are some
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: governors out there that are that are trying to do that,
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: and we got to say we salute to Governor Braun
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: for doing the right thing. Okay, thank you, Billy, Thank
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: you appreciate you listening out there in the Texas Panhandle
• 32:33

• 32:47
  Speaker 4: How many people are spending their entire summer trying to
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: hide there? You've seen them, right, They wear black clothes,
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: it's ninety five degrees outside, they don't go to the
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: swimming pool, they don't like getting the summer pictures, and
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: they try to suck it in everywhere they go. You

  Speaker 4: know what I'm talking about. Look, that is not vanity,
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: that's just not feeling comfortable in your own body anymore. Look,

  Speaker 4: Caldron has made such a difference for me. And it

• 33:18
  Speaker 4: very simple, and I take Caldron every night and it's
• 33:22

• 34:16
  Speaker 4: This is the Todd Strange Radio Show. By the way,
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: just so you understand what's really going on here with
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: all these folks. Bill Cassidy, Senator Bill Cassidy, who just
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: got booted from the US Senate, only got twenty five
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: percent of the vote from the good people in Louisiana.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: Now we understand that Senator Cassidy has turned on President Trump,
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: and this is something you pay attention to. It's going
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: to be get really ugly between now and in January
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: when all of these never trumpers are exposed. And the
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: fact of the matter is that Senator Cassidy has now
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: announced that he is standing in opposition to the Trump
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: agenda and he is going to work with the Democrats.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: John Hornan is going to do the exact same thing.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: And by the way, John Thune is enraged right now
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: that President Trump endorsed Ken Paxton instead of John Cornyn.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: So there are a lot of moving parts here. I
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: want to play this audio. This is from Senator Raphael Warnock,
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: and we have been telling you this from day one
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: that when the Democrats get control of the Senate, the
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: first thing they're doing is getting rid of the filibuster.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: Take a listen to the senator from Georgia.
• 35:28
  Speaker 12: And in real sense, they're setting fire to the democracy,
• 35:31
  Speaker 12: and the Supreme Court's porn fuel on that fire, and
• 35:34
  Speaker 12: we have to stand up in this moment. I'm proud
• 35:37
  Speaker 12: of all that we did when I first entered the
• 35:39
  Speaker 12: Senatives at the one hundred and seventeen Congress. We passed
• 35:43
  Speaker 12: a lot of legislation. We cut child poverty about forty
• 35:47
  Speaker 12: percent for six months. We did infrastructure, We did you know,
• 35:52
  Speaker 12: clean energy, the biggest clean energy build in human history.
• 35:55
  Speaker 12: A whole lot of good coming right out of the pandemic.
• 35:58
  Speaker 12: I have to tell you, looking at what happening to
• 36:00
  Speaker 12: our democracy right now, it was a mistake not to
• 36:04
  Speaker 12: take voting rights first. To get John Lewis Voting Rights
• 36:07
  Speaker 12: Advancement Act over the finish line I'm proud of all
• 36:11
  Speaker 12: that work we did. If I could, I trade all
• 36:15
  Speaker 12: of that for the democracy for the people.
• 36:18
  Speaker 15: So at the end of the day, if you can't vote,
• 36:21
  Speaker 15: none of the policy matters.
• 36:23
  Speaker 12: Yes, but it sounds like you're a dorson getting rid
• 36:24
  Speaker 12: of the philibuster.
• 36:26
  Speaker 16: I just want to that's the point.
• 36:28
  Speaker 14: But you got to get the Senate to do that. Yeah.
• 36:30
  Speaker 12: Well, look, we had every Democrat on that bill, on
• 36:33
  Speaker 12: the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Bill.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: It passed the House.
• 36:37
  Speaker 12: At the end of the day, it was literally two senators,
• 36:40
  Speaker 12: neither of whom is no longer is in the Senate now,
• 36:43
  Speaker 12: and I think the caucus is on board. If we
• 36:47
  Speaker 12: are so fortunate that the people will put us back
• 36:50
  Speaker 12: into power, we owe it to the people to give
• 36:53
  Speaker 12: them their voice. That's basic, it's foundational and no arcane.
• 36:58
  Speaker 12: Senate procedural rule should block people's ability to be heard
• 37:03
  Speaker 12: in their democracy.
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: All right, So there you have it. Democrats are going
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: to do this, folks. The Republicans had the chance, but
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: John Thune said absolutely not. We are standing with tradition,
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: and if that means the Trump agenda fails, so be it.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you when Thune is up for reelection, which
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: is in the next election cycle. You folks in South
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: Dakota got to send this guy packing. This is just unacceptable.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: By the way, Lindsey Graham now upset President Trump. Lindsey
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: Graham wanted John Cornyn to get the President's endorsement and
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: it did not happen. So now so now you have
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: Senate Republicans that are rising up in opposition to Trump.
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: And let me tell you what's going to happen after November.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: The president is going to become and here we'll talk
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: more about this in the break or after the break.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: After the midterm elections, President Trump becomes a de facto
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: lame duck president because it doesn't matter. He's not running.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: He's not running for the presidency anymore. So you watch
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: what's going to happen. These Republicans in the House and
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: the Senate. They are going to carve their own path.
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: You're hearing this first here on this program. The Republican
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: Party in the in the Congress is going to bolt
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: with President Trump after the midterms. You watch and see
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: how that plays out. All right, nine oh one two
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: six zero five nine two six. This is the top
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: Stars show.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: To start, you know, we've been following these team takeovers
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: which are and really they're not just team takeovers. They're
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: literally massive mobs of black teenagers that are causing mayhem
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: across the country. And this is it's out of control,
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: just out of control. And many of you know what
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: I'm talking about, and many of you live in these
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: cities where these team takeovers are happening. In Washington, DC,
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: for example, Jannine Piro is really playing hardball after an
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: incident at the Chipotle, which is everybody's favorite fast casual restaurant,
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: and and people are there and you know, I'm not
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: a big I like Chipotle. But the problem is, Dylan,
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: the lines are long, and you got to stand on
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: the line, and then there's somebody ahead of you, and
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: they can't make up their minds if they want a
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: burrito or a burrito bowl. And then they want every
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: single solitary topping they have and it takes forever.
• 40:05
  Speaker 14: Yeah, and then they fudge you if you want to
• 40:07
  Speaker 14: like add extra cheese or extra chicken.
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: Oh, they'll charge you all right, that's a seventy two
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: dollar burrito. I just want an extra meat, that's all.
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: It's want an extra carnada.
• 40:18
  Speaker 14: Yeah, that's exactly what happens.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: It's not Ruth's Chris for crying out loud. It's a
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: fast casual restaurant. So anyway, you had all these thugs,
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: these black kids, and the video is insane because you've
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: got the white kids, but they got mom and dad there,
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: and mom and dad are protecting the white kids. Then
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: you got the black kids that are literally beating each
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: other with the chairs and the tables in the Chipotle,
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: and Janine Piro said, that's it, We're gonna start charging
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: mom and dad. I would content. I do wonder maybe
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: they need to do a study of this. All these
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: kids are going to be arresting, and that's the problem.
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: They're not arresting anybody, not a single person. If I
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: were if I were the owner of the Chipotle, I'd
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: lock the door, put all the innocent civilians don't win
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: a freezer somewhere the fridge so they're safe, and wait
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: for the police to get there. I mean, in Memphis, Tennessee,
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: for example, you got this area. It's the Cooper Young District.
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: What's a good way to describe the Cooper Young District.
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: Describe It's in midtown Memphis. It's where all the all
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: the liberal young people hang out.
• 41:29
  Speaker 14: Yeah, one street is safe and then you go maybe
• 41:32
  Speaker 14: to one, two or three blocks over and then it's
• 41:35
  Speaker 14: not safe anymore.
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: But it's it's like, I mean, all the hip cool
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: you know, funky young bar. Yeah, it's younger. Yeah, that's
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: where the they want to be cool and hip. You
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: go to Cooper Young.
• 41:45
  Speaker 14: District, they have the Rainbow crosswalk. Thank you, that's all
• 41:49
  Speaker 14: you thought to know. Yeah.
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: By the way, it's your annual public service announcement ahead
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: of Pride month. Just a reminder if you're a heterosexual,
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: do not step on the rainbow Pride crosswalk because it's
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: a trap.
• 42:01
  Speaker 14: Yeah, that's a trap.
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: You got to go to the other side and then
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: cross over again and then cross back over. But you
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: can't because they'll get you for a hate crime.
• 42:12
  Speaker 14: Just jaywalk at that point and you know why, you.
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: God forbid you your tennis shoe. You smudge, it's a
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: hate crime. Yeah, they'll throw your button jail.
• 42:20
  Speaker 14: True.
• 42:20
  Speaker 8: M m so.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: Anyway, in the Cooper Young District, for example, I'm trying
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: to give you the example.
• 42:26
  Speaker 16: Later.
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: Just the other day, some guy was in his yard
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: and he was you could tell the guy's a lib,
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: and he's like a hippie lib, but a nice lib.
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: He's got a nice yard there. He decorated the yard
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: for some sort of a garden competition or contest, and
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: a gang of eight year olds let me repeat that,
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: a gang of eight year olds. I think there was
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: a nine and a ten year old, a gang armed
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: with guns trying to steal things from this man's front yard.
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: And so the guy was he was doing an interview,
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: and we played this yesterday, but it ties so nicely
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: into what we're talking about today. The guy was like, yeah,
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: I went over to them and then they pulled the
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: gun on me and he said, you want to shoot me, fine,
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: shoot me. And I'm surprised the kids didn't do that, honestly,
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: because these kids are not being taught right from wrong
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: at all. I mean, this is if you've got an
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: eight year old child that's walking around with a gun,
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: you know, threatening people, you have failed as a parent,
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: hands down, you have failed. So anyway, the police are
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: now searching for the eight year old armed with an
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: elmos all and a glock, and the guy was like, well,
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: you know, we've got to deal with things like poverty,
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: and you know, forget about that now. This has nothing
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: to do with poverty. This has everything to do with
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: moms and dads, not mommy and daddy. Well you know
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: what I'm talking about. So now in poor Long Branch,
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: New Long Branch, New Jersey, which I believe is a
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: beach community, that the police have had to impose an
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: emergency eight o'clock curfew because of these massive mobs of
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: black teenagers. And when you look at the video, there
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: are no white people in these videos. They're all black people.
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: And it's it's about time for the black community to
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: deal with this nonsense because it's impacting everybody. It's impacting
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: the business owners, it's impacting families, home owners, the police drivers.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: I'm literally watching video where somebody was just driving a
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: car and they found themselves surrounded by these black kids,
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: and the kids are jumping on top of the car,
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: They're bouncing up and down. I can't even imagine being
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: a driver trapped in something like that. What do you do?
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: And what is it? They're twerking there yet they're twerking
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: the car. Oh I think one guy may have pede
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: the I don't know, it's it's hard to tell from
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: the images. So again, this is all peer village and
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: that's this is happening in a very nice area of
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: Long Branch, and as as it's being reported as a
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: Jersey Shore, so we should we should get Mary Walter
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: on to talk about the Jersey Shore, which is a
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: lovely place to go for families. But now they're having
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: to impose a curfew because the black teens are out
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: of control. New Jersey Transit had had to suspend train
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: service because of the violence, and the summertime hasn't even started.
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: So the question is what do you do with What
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: do you do with all of these unruly teens? I say,
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: throw them all in jail and charge them as adults
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: and then get their parents. But the problem is most
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: of them don't have parents, and that ultimately is the
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: reason why we've got this situation, Like we haven't what
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: a mess out there in Long Branch, New Jersey and
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: all of you other people out there. I just hate it,
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: But God loved the police because they're trying to crack
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: down and one of the ways they're gonna do is
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: a curfew at eight o'clock. Here's the problem. Eight o'clock
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: on a summer You know what, eight o'clock on the summertime,
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: most kids are outside having a good time. Now they're
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: not gonna be able to do that. Oh do you
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: hear what happened at the Olive Garden yesterday, just right
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: around the corner from us.
• 46:23
  Speaker 14: I did not hear about this.
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: That weren't black teens. These were black adults going at
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: it fighting at the Olive Garden?
• 46:31
  Speaker 14: Was it the unlimited breadsticks that were in question?
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: Maybe they ran out?
• 46:35
  Speaker 14: I mean, okay, I would fight maybe over that. I'm
• 46:39
  Speaker 14: just kidding.
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: Certainly not the bottomless salad bowl. From what video I saw,
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: I'm fairly certain no salads, have no salads involved. Yeah,
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: but again it's I know, and I get these messages.
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: You're just racist. You're just a closet KKK member. Why
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: don't you talk about all the white people? Okay, do
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: me a favor. Send me the videos of the white
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: people that are rioting in Long Branch, New Jersey. Send
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: me the white people videos that are that are literally
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: causing mayhem, and all of these restaurants around America. Go
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: please do that for me. I'm happy to share this.
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you there is a culture problem in America
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: and it is within the black community and that has
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: to be addressed, but nobody wants to talk about it. Instead,
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: you've got the N DOUBLEACP and they're out there and
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: the NAACP is saying, we've got a boycott Southeastern Conference universities.
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: They're all upset over redistricting. So the N DOUBLEACP is
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: out there telling all of these black athletes, you reject
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: your scholarships turned down the nil money, do not go
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: to an SEC school. So all you folks, you can't
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: go to Alabama, you can't go to Tennessee, can't go
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: to Georgia. You got a boycott the Southeastern Conference. This
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: is coming from the N double ACP, ladies and gentlemen,
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: and they don't care. And by the way, here's the problem,
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: and this was they had the NAACP and they're all
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: upset about what's happening in Memphis with the redistricting that's
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: going to eliminate the Democrat district there. You know what's
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: interesting about that. There was a black woman and she's
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: like a perennial candidate. Her name is Charlotte Bergman, and
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: she's running this time. She's run what six times? Seven
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: times and gets just beaten at the ballot box, worse
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: every single election cycle. But it doesn't matter. She's a
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: black woman, black Republican. Where was the NAACP back then
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: when she was running for office six times and lost
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: six times? Why weren't they calling for I mean, this
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: is all about race. Why were they supporting the old
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: white decrepit, smelly Democrat Steve Cohen, But they weren't supporting
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: the black Republican woman, Charlie Bergman, who's run for office
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: six times and loses by larger margins every single time
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: she runs. I mean, again, if it's really about race,
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: which is what they say it's about race, it seems
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: to me that you would support the black person who's running.
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: You would think. But by the way, you know how
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: many black members. We have a lot of black Republicans
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: in Congress, none of them, none of them have been
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: allowed to join the Black Congressional Caucus. What do you
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: think that's all about. So all that to say it's
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: a mass culturally in the country, I mean it really is.
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: By the way, graduation yesterday. Some would send me some videos.
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: This happened at Yale and another school, what UC Berkeley, Dylan,
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: They had segregated graduation ceremonies. So if you're a black person,
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: you had your very own black graduation ceremony. Help me
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: out here, I thought, didn't people march in the nineteen
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: fifties and sixties to stop that? Didn't people like I
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: know Eisenhower sent the National Guard to Arkansas Central High
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: School to make sure that black kids could go to
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: a white school. And now here we are in the
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty six, and you've got
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: black democrats saying we must be segregated. I needed do
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: a show. By the way, let me just say this,
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: that is not necessarily a bad thing, and I want
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: to explain why very quickly, and that we got to
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: go to a break. But this is a topic for
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: another show. Back when schools were somewhat segregated, and by that,
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: I mean you had black neighborhoods and they had predominantly
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: black schools, and you had white neighborhoods and they had
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: predominantly white schools. And these were neighborhood schools right where
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: kids can most of them walked to school. It was
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: a quick school bus ride. Then came desegregation in the
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: nineteen seventies and eighties, and a lot of kids were
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: literally bussed and it may still be happening today where
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: kids are bussed sometimes an hour across town to go
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: to school to get all the racial numbers correct, and
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: the schools completely collapsed. And the reason why is because
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: you didn't have the community buy in. So from that perspective,
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: when you actually have a for example, a black school
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: in a black neighborhood, guess what's going to happen. Those
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: kids are going to learn because mom and dad know
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: the teachers, The teachers know mom and dad. For the
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: most part, everybody goes to church together or they live
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: in the same community together, and so you're going to
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: have that community sort of feeling. The same thing's happening
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: in the white communities and the Hispanic communities and the
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: Asian American communities. But we got rid of all of
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: that because we had to start bussing kids all over
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: the country to get those racial numbers balanced, and it
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: just completely failed. But here we are, ladies and gentlemen.
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: Now many universities have race specific dormitory and now the
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: latest craze, this graduation cycle. You've got race based graduation ceremonies.
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: Our telephone number, that's nine oh one two six zero
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: five nine two six. This is the Tom Sterns Show.
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: All right, welcome back, This is the Tom Sterns Radio Show.
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: You know what I say here, put a little bo
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: on this issue. We were just talking about a lot
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: of people, Well, we need more basketball courts, we need
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: more community centers. I say, forget all of that. We
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: know we did not need community centers and basketball courts
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: when we were growing up. We had fun doing things legal,
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: and we also did not need the government coming in
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: and putting together these community centers. My recommendation is take
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: all of that money and put it into law enforcement
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: and put a stomp to this nonsense out on the streets.
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go to the phones here one two
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: six zero five nine two six. Charles in North Carolina
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: wants to weigh in on the Republican Senate. Charles, what's
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: on your mind?
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: Well, God, I have an idea. I think that Trump
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: can play hardball with these Republican senators to get something
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: He really wants more than anything, which is the passage
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: of that Save Act. And I'd like to get you
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: hear what you think. But some people may call this
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: a little political blackmail, but so bid. The Democrats do
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: it all the time. But I think he needs to
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: do two things, one publicly and one privately. I think
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: he needs to get John Thune and Chuck Schumer in
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: an oval office meeting with the press and look at
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: both of them and say, right now, I am calling
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: for an emergency session of Congress and an Article two,
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: Section three. I'm convening the Senate for the sole purpose
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: of passing the Save Act. He needs to look at
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer and say, your disgrace for not wanting voter
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: ide be proof of citizenship up and cleaning up your
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: voter rolls, and the only reason you don't is so
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: you can cheat. And he needs to look at John
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: Thune and he said, Senator Thun, this measure has eighty
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: percent support of the American people across all political spectrums,
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: and there's no reason you can't pass it. And if
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: you don't, you need to resign. That's what he needs
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: to do publicly and privately. Todd, I think he needs
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: to tell Foon that he's going to keep him in
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: town all summer, no vacations, no July for recess, no
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: August recess, and if you don't pass it, he's going
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: to pull the support that he's given a Lindsey Graham
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: and give it his primary opponent. I think if you
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: did that, even Democrats may some Democrats may want to
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: vote for it, because no one wants to stay in Washington,
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: d C all summer and swelter and not go on
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: vacation and not be able to raise money. And it
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: would put enough pressure if you threaten all one hundred
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: senators to stay in town, they would put pressure on
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: all these holdouts, whether it's the sixty vote threshold or
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: a speaking filibuster. But once he gets that Save Act passes,
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: like you said, they're going to turn against Trump anyway.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: But he just needs to get that Save Act passed
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: so that we win the midterms in November. What do
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: you think of that idea?
• 55:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I like that, and I've actually pitched that
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: before a few months ago, at least the emergency session
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: of Congress. I think that's the right way to go here,
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: and it really is an emergency and if we do. Look,
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: we've got to have integrity at the ballot box, and
• 55:34
  Speaker 4: this is really the only way to ensure that that happens.
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: The Republicans know that, Democrats know it, which is why
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: both parties, I think are fighting so hard because both
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: parties have a lot at state here. I think the
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: Republicans more so financially through their lobbyists. The challenge here,
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: Charles is, you know, what is the president going to do?
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: Is he willing to take that step? I mean, you're right,
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: it's up to the president sident. He can't do that,
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: that is, he is well within his rights to do it,
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: but for whatever reason, he has yet to do so.
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: Well, I know, and I wish somebody from the Oval
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: Office is listening to your show right now. I mean,
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: I know they respect you, and I'm sure somebody tunes in.
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: But like you said, he's well within his right to
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: do that. But you know, we got rid of Cassidy
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: last weekend. It's going to be John Corner next Tuesday.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: And these Republicans rhemos are incensed and they all like
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: Lindsey Graham, and I'm sure they want to see Lindsay
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: stay in town. But if Trump threatens a political retribution
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: against Lindsey Graham if they don't pass the Save Act.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: I think that may just be enough to get people
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: like Mrkowski, Collins, McConnell, and maybe even some of these
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: Democrats to support the Save AC and get this thing passed.
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: All right, well, Charles, we're gonna leave it there and
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: we'll open up the phone lines see what people think
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: about your idea there. Should the President call an emergency
• 56:58
  Speaker 4: session of Congress to force lawmakers to pass the Save
• 57:03
  Speaker 4: America Act. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: two six hour telephone number. That's nine oh one two
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: six zero five nine two six. One more time. Nine
• 57:12
  Speaker 4: oh one two six zero five nine two six. We'll
• 57:14
  Speaker 4: be right back, xello. You old, you'll appreciate this. So
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: the day before yesterday, you know, we've got a great
• 57:33
  Speaker 4: new brisket joint opening up, and I'm a huge brisket fan,
• 57:36
  Speaker 4: and my doctor said I can eat in moderation and
• 57:39
  Speaker 4: just avoid the signs and get a good salad, you know,
• 57:42
  Speaker 4: have a nice balance. And Sonyway, I was really excited
• 57:45
  Speaker 4: about the two brisket joint that was open. So I
• 57:47
  Speaker 4: rush over there day before yesterday and walk right in
• 57:52
  Speaker 4: and it's closed. They're not even open yet. The grand
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: I thought the green opening was like ony no on Monday.
• 58:02
  Speaker 14: It was on Monday, and you walked in and they
• 58:05
  Speaker 14: try to recruit you to work.
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: They did, and the lady said, the radio guy, that's
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: what she called the radio guy. And they're fun folks.
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: They got the tattoos. You know, they're from Texas.
• 58:16
  Speaker 14: You know, very cool.
• 58:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're cool. Yeah, they're cool folks. And so we
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: take that. We used to take the guys over there
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: all the time from the station. I mean we we
• 58:23
  Speaker 4: consumed a lot of beef over there.
• 58:25
  Speaker 14: Yes.
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: So anyway, they said, no, you got to come back tomorrow,
• 58:28
  Speaker 4: which was yesterday. So I thought, you know what, I
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: did that. We got off the air at Newsmax and
• 58:34
  Speaker 4: just went rushing over there and it was packed. You
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: could not find a parking space. But they had a
• 58:42
  Speaker 4: drive through. So I thought, you know what, great, I'll
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: just do the drive through. I got to cover the elections,
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: the primaries, and you know, the clock was taking So
• 58:49
  Speaker 4: I get to the drive through and it was the
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: lady and she was like the radio guy. I know
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: that she goes. I know that voice everywhere, and I'm
• 58:56
  Speaker 4: like Oh, thank you, I said, She goes, so I
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: kind of get I said, I had to get the brisket.
• 58:59
  Speaker 4: She goes, we're out.
• 59:01
  Speaker 14: Oh, no, we're out. I I could have seen that coming.
• 59:07
  Speaker 14: Would you?
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: Would you like some ribs?
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: No?
• 59:09
  Speaker 4: I want brisket. About some sausage? Is it brisket? No,
• 59:14
  Speaker 4: it's sausage. I want the brisket.
• 59:17
  Speaker 14: I guarantee That's what everyone else was there for too.
• 59:20
  Speaker 14: It's really good.
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: Went home. I was too tired to go to the supermarket,
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: so I had a pouch of tuna fish.
• 59:29
  Speaker 14: Oh I'm sorry.
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: I tried to pretend like it was brisket, but it
• 59:34
  Speaker 4: wasn't brisket. It was tuna fish.
• 59:37
  Speaker 14: No, what's the point anymore? Really?
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: But then I'm reading the reviews that I like, Oh,
• 59:41
  Speaker 4: you usually have gotten the smash burger, because apparently they
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: got that. I didn't know they had a smash burger out.
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: But that that leads me to this question. Do you
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: have a favorite like fast food burger joint that you
• 59:52
  Speaker 4: go to?
• 59:53
  Speaker 14: Absolutely? I think McDonald's has to be up there for burgers.
• 59:58
  Speaker 14: I'd enjoyed Dave's Double from Wendy's.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 4: You know the square you prefer the square, Paddy, I.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 14: Don't mind the square. Yeah, it tastes the same as
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 14: a circle to me. So that's good. If you want
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 14: to count five guys, some people say that's controversial, but
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 14: five guys is probably the best burger for a moderately
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 14: fast time. So yeah, those are my top three.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: Well, so you've got McDonald's, you've got Wendy's, and you've
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 4: got five guys. I'm curious to know from our audience
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 4: if they've got a particular favorite fast food burgers. And
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 4: there's a reason why here I'm going to get to
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 4: the story at a moment. You don't used to be fud Ruckers,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: which was sort of like fast casual, and fud Ruckers
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: was sort of like a Chipotle, except it was with
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 4: burgers and it was all right. But look, I'm a
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: big Windy's fan. I always felt bad for the cows.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: I'm like, is that painful to do the square burgers?
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: You know it's normally they're round.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 14: But they're already dead.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 4: They're dead. Yeah that When I was a kid, I
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 4: thought that, and you know, my dad's well, the sun
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: theyn dead. You're eating the carcass of the cow.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 14: I think if a cow is being cut. Like while
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 14: they were, they wouldn't care if it was a circle
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 14: or square.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're at that point. They're good. It's the square cut,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 4: kind of like the chicken nuggets. Where did those come from? Dad?
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 14: Oh yeah, don't ask.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 10: No.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 4: I actually saw how they do it. And now I'm
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 4: not a big fan of chicken nugget, right, I just
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 4: thought it was like literally chicken, but it's it's not how.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 14: They do it, it's everything else.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 4: Actually, yeah, I don't want to. I don't want to
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 4: ruin the nugget experience for anyway. So I'm not going
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 4: to talk about that. But I saw the documentary and
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 4: I'm like, oh wow, yeah, like chicken juice. Anyway. So
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 4: Wendy's has announced a contest and this is really fascinating.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 4: So they are They're planning a mascot lookalike contest for
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 4: World Redhead Day and you get a prize for the attend.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 4: This is great. So here's the deal. The fast food
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 4: franchise is hosting a lookalike competent for the iconic face
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 4: of the restaurant in New York City, and of course Wendy's.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 4: You know, Wendy's has the freckled girl, and she's got
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: the pig tails with the little bows and the big smile.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 4: That's Wendy's and she's the mascot of the restaurant. I
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 4: love this. So a lot of folks don't realize or
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: may not know, that there's actually a history to this mascot.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: Dave Thomas is the guy who actually created Wendy's, and
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 4: he actually named the restaurant after his daughter, who happens
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 4: to be a redhead. And I tell you, I've seen
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: photos for her and she kind of looks like I mean,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: she's older now, but she looks just like the photo,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 4: the little cartoon photo. So according to Wendy's, even with
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: redheads making up just four percent of the US population,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 4: they're impossible to miss. They bring a bold, unmistakable energy
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: that turns heads and leaves an impression. The kind of
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 4: presence Wendy's has allays admired and recognized as a part
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 4: of its own story. And then they have a lovely
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 4: Oh they do the Wendy single there, but it's they
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 4: get it all the way. I'm not a big fan
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 4: of tomatoes.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 14: No, God, you know, we actually have a resident redhead
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 14: here in the building right now we do. Yes, you
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 14: may not notice it because it's a little darker, but
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 14: our call schooner. Helen does have red hair and she
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 14: kind of looks like the Wendy's girl.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 4: Wow, we could put her in. We can put her
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: like in the outfit and maybe she get under the contest. Yes,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: so here's this is a big deal because the winner
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 4: gets a free Dave's single hamburger for an entire year.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 14: Okay, now we have to do it.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we gotta do it for We've got to do it.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 14: She may not eat it, but we will.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 4: Does she have freckles?
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 14: She looks exactly like that?
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: Wow? Yes, okay, Helen. What's your middle name? Is it
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 4: Wendy Bunny Chance?
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 14: It's not Wendy. It's not Wendy, but it could be.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: So this is faster. So there's only a New York
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: so it had to fly to New York City. But
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 4: for a year's worth of free Dave singles. Yeah, absolutely,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 4: I would definitely do that. I guess this is a
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 4: I love Dave's story because Dave Thomas was actually adopted
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 4: as a baby and that was like a big part
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 4: of his life and he loved working with kids. Helping
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 4: kids get their first start in life and making sure
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 4: that nobody got left behind. And the reason why is
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 4: because he had a really rough childhood growing up, ended
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 4: up dropping out of high school and working full time
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 4: in restaurants. He was sixty one years old. This is
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 4: a great story. Sixty one years old, Dave Thomas went
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 4: back to high school. By that time, the guy was
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 4: super wealthy. He was famous. You know, they had the
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 4: I think they had the best Burger commercials of all time.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 4: Back in the day. It was they had three ladies
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 4: and they would drive up their three little old ladies
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 4: and they're like, where's the mea, where's the meef? It
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 4: was a great Dylan You got to find the commercial
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 4: and we'll play the where it's the beef commercial? Nobody
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 4: had ever seen a commercial like that before. But it
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 4: turns out that one of his mentors in life was
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 4: Colonel Sanders from Kentucky Fried Chicken and Colonel Sanders Harlan
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 4: Sanders was actually a real guy who did not find
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 4: success in life until well into his later years, which
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: is an amazing story in and of itself. But anyway,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: he actually worked with Kentucky Fried Chicken and helped actually
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 4: revive four of the KFC restaurants in the Columbus, Ohio area.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 4: And he took on the challenge even though Colonel Sanders said,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: don't note those people in Ohio. They don't like finger
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 4: licking good stuff. And Dave Thomas said, oh, yes, they do,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 4: Colonel Sanders, and it turned out he was right. So
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 4: when he saw the power of you know, Colonel Sanders
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 4: in the hall, I mean, Colonel Sanders was the image
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 4: of Kentucky Fryan Chicken. And he decided that when he
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: started you know, Wendy's, that he needed a fun mascot.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 4: And so he decided to name the restaurants after his daughter.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: Her name was Melinda Low and she was nicknamed Wendy.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 4: And so that's what he did. And then he felt
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 4: bad about it years later because he felt like it
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 4: put so much pressure on her that he felt actually
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: bad about naming the restaurants after after his daughter. And
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 4: then of course got the Presidential Medal of Freedom President
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 4: George H. W. Bush and made him a spokesman for
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 4: you know, adoption across America. And he also wrote a
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: great book on franchising called Franchising for Dummies. And again
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 4: he was just a regular, a regular guy. And that's
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, that was part of the whole brand that
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 4: I think made Wendy so successful. And of course then
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 4: Dave died and well, you know, Wendy's kind of hit
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 4: or miss these days. Do we have the commercial? Oh,
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 4: this is a great commercial.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 17: It certainly is a big bone.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 4: It's a very big, fun big it's a very big,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 4: fluffy fun Where's the beef?
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 18: Some hamburger places give you a lot less beef on
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 18: a lot of bum where's the beef? At Wendy's, we
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 18: say a hamburger we might, as they called the single,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 18: and Wendy's single has more beef than the whopper or
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 18: a big mac. At Wendy's, you get more beans and
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 18: less bun.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: Hey, where's the I don't think.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 18: You want something better? You're Windy's kind of people.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 4: Oh my god. That was like nineteen eighty four, and
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: that was People loved it. That's that's all everybody was saying,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 4: Dylan back in the day, where's the beef? Where's the beef?
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 4: It was like the catchphrase, and by by the end
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 4: of the year people were sick of it. But it
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 4: was where's the beef? And of course that was a
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 4: shot at winds at McDonald's and Burger King, and it
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 4: became one of the most famous ads in American history.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: So I wish they did commercials like that. Nowadays they
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 4: don't do. It's nobody's clever anymore. They got no good ideas.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 4: By the way, do you know who the the eighty
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 4: one year old was actually a Her name was Clara Peller?
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 4: And you know she was not an actress, did you
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 4: know that she? You know what she did? She was
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 4: a manicurist, so she did people's nails.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 14: I thought, you're gonna say, she's probably just a real,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 14: real customer.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 4: No, she may have been. She was discovered she was
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 4: in a TV commercial as a manicurist and for the
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 4: Chicago barber shop. And I guess the agency loved her
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 4: voice and her attitude and they brought her on board
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 4: for more ads. And that's uh and the rest of
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 4: his history. As they say, this.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 14: Is like the best version of a Karen that you
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 14: can have like this person.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 4: It's true. Of the tiny little patty and the big bullets.
• 1:09:05

• 1:09:08
  Speaker 4: you know again, they they really reshaped the nation back

• 1:09:14
  Speaker 4: shark when they introduced the Italian, the Italian bar, and

  Speaker 4: the way, I want to play this audio. This is
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 4: from Pastor Jamal Bryant of Atlanta. He was at a
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 4: rally in Montgomery, Alabama, over the weekend and folks are
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 4: really upset over the redistricting and now they're saying that
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 4: they want reparations. So I want you to listen to
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 4: cut fourteen please me is a.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 19: Mental health months eighteen fifty, doctor Samuel Cartwright made up
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 19: a disease called drake Topia, and he said, drake Topia
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 19: is a mental illness for black people who are enslaved
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 19: and try to run away to be free.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 14: I called the CDC.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 19: To let him know there's a pandemic in the South
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 19: because from Alabama to Louisiana, to Tennessee, to Georgia, to
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 19: South Carolina, to North Carolina to Mississippi, I got black
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 19: people who refuse to.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 20: Go back to bondage and we are committed to being free.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 20: If you're committed to being free, make some noise right now.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 20: Today is the death of the Confederacy.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 14: Y'all didn't hear what I said?
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 20: Today is the death of the Confederacy. They are trying
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 20: to redraw our lines.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 19: They're trying to silence our voices. They're trying to represent
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 19: our representatives.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 20: They're trying to choose their own districts.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 19: But we have to remind America.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 20: That we built this nation off of our blood, all
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 20: of us sweat, and off of our tears. And if
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 20: you can't give us reparations, the loose you can do
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 20: is give us our representatives, give.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 4: Me money, give him money. Gimme, gimme, gimme, brothers and sisters, gimme, gimme, gimme.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 4: That's right. Is that what it's all about. Look, there's
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 4: a lot of preachers said there, just a couple of thoughts.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 4: We did a little homework last night. I did some research,
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 4: and Dylan, you can verify this information. We scoured the interwebs.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 4: We went state by state, as a matter of fact,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 4: state by state, and we can tell you that contrary
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 4: to the to what the pastor was telling us, and
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 4: he may just be simply mistaken. We all make mistakes.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 4: It happens, but we we can now emphatically state to you,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 4: the great listeners of the Tom Starts Radio Show, that
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 4: not a single American citizen is enslaved right now in America?
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 4: There are no and we checked. We checked. I know
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 4: people say, what abut muscis sippe. We checked exclusively Mississippi,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 4: and I can tell you at this hour not a
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 4: single black slave is picking cotton. Now, wait, tills one
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 4: cotton picking about it? Tot, what do you say? I'm
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 4: saying there are no slaves in America, Free and last,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 4: free and last, Thank God, albout it. I'm free at last.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 4: We ought to be celebrating that, right. But the preacher,
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 4: But the preacher, he he is just mistaken. I'm just
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 4: gonna give him the benefit of the doubt. I can't
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 4: imagine that a preacher, a man of God, would deliberately
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 4: spew lies and mistruths to the peoples. I just I
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 4: just can't believe that. I can't. I can't imagine a
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 4: preacher we do something like that now. We also he
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 4: also said the Confederacy is alive and will the Confederacy.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 4: Dylan and I had to stay at Plate last night.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 4: There was a lot of homework to do. We were
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 4: able to go in and we actually determined the exact
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 4: date in eighteen sixty five when the Confederacy ended with
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 4: the signature of Robert E. Lee on the surrender papers.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 14: Todd, I could have told you that you didn't have
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 14: to spend all night, you know, reirelessly.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 4: Researching, thank you, But you know, I care. I want
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 4: to make sure we're giving our audience fair information, right,
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 4: And I mean, the history books could have got it wrong,
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 4: but we went back and there are it's pretty well documented.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 4: And there was this guy named Abraham Lincoln and he
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 4: actually issued this idle of this document called the Emancipation
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 4: Proclamation that actually freed the slaves. There's actually a holiday
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 4: a about that. I don't know if you knew where
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 4: is called Juneteenth.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 14: It's all true.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just there. I'm just so I just just
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 4: want to point out the facts. Ladies and gentlemen. Oh
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 4: my word. Look, if you go to a church with
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 4: some sort of a Charlatan spewing race hate, you need
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 4: to find another church to go to. That's it's pretty
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 4: much that simple, all right. Nine oh one two six
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 4: zero five nine two six is our telephone number. That's
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 4: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. Hey,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 4: head over to our website Todd Sterns dot com. We
• 1:15:35

• 1:15:39
  Speaker 4: under fire for baptizing inmates. It's over at Todd Sterns
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 4: dot com. Gotta read it. We'll be all right back.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: America's favorite gun, Total Bible clinging, deplorable, America's.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 4: American jud Start well and welcome everybody. This is our
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 4: three of the Big Show. Good to have you with
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 4: us today. So there is a story out of Colorado.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 4: This is Jefferson County, Colorado, and a seventh grade young
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 4: lady was told to write a poem for some sort
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 4: of a classroom assignment. It was a slam poetry event. Now,
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 4: I remember back well back when I was in school
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 4: and we used to we used to have to do
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 4: a you know, poetry. I was not a big I'm
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 4: not a big poetry fan, but we had to. I
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 4: like a good limerick, you know those are pretty clever
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 4: and you know, something like that. But I just couldn't
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 4: get all that iambic pentameter and all that. I know,
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 4: I just watched all of that, but you know, I'm
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 4: just not a good poetry is not my like jam
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 4: if you will. There once was a girl named Gladys.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 4: Oh wait a second, I can't say that on me.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 4: Pardon me. So there's something called slam poetry. Have you
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 4: ever heard of slam poetry? Is that sort of like
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 4: a new fangled thing that the gen z came up
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 4: and came up with, don't I.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 14: Don't think so. I think this has been around for
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 14: a while. Actually, I don't know. I genuinely don't know.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 14: I'm in the same branch as you when it comes
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 14: to poems, though.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 4: I had to look this up and I roses are red,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 4: violets are blue. Your buzzum is No, I can't tell.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 14: You know that's is that slam poetry?
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I think that's offensive poetry.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 14: I think slam poetry is like you're airing out all
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 14: of your emotions.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 4: Oh really, Oh okay, well maybe we ought to do
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 4: that on the show instead of Open Line Friday.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 14: Yeah. I don't even think it has to rhyme like,
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 14: it's just you know, free it's free form.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 4: Oh really.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 14: I don't take it from me though.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 4: All right, So I no, I look this up and
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 4: they say slam poetry usually is performed with emotion rhythm, storytelling,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 4: and stage presence, and the poems often tackle personal, political, cultural,
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 4: or social issues, but they can also be funny, romantic, spiritual,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 4: or autobiographical. I don't I still don't understand this. They're
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 4: usually a poetry slam. Works like this. Poets perform original
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 4: pieces with a time limit and judges from the audience
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 4: score them. So I guess all of us could be
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 4: the judges. I mean, if people wanted to call in
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 4: and do like a poetry slam, we could be the judges.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 14: Is it the one where you can't clap?
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 4: You just like I think you have to snap your fingers.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 14: Okay, yeah we can do that for sure.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 4: Can't do the snap. I've got something I've got that
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 4: I've been writing so much, and I got like this
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 4: trigger finger.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 14: Now I'll for you.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 4: Thank you appreciate that. Yeah, you're not allowed to. Yeah,
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 4: you can't clap. That's against the rules or something. It's
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 4: poetry with a microphone, a pulse, and sometimes a punch,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 4: so it's violent. I'm worth trying to think through this.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 4: So anyway, as I can't even think of a good
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 4: slam poet, I can't think of something to do right
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 4: out of the gate.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 14: I think there's doesn't seem to be a lot of
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 14: rules here, so you can just kind of talk, just
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 14: make it up.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 4: I guess I hate you Taco Bell for what you
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 4: did with that card Nita, that burrito, and that Gordita.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 4: I haven't got to the good part yet.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 14: Thank you.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 13: Laugh.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 4: I hate you Taco Bell. The end of gestion. You
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 4: caused me rollades, rollades, rolades. I'm not finished yet. Stop
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 4: with me.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 14: You're pausing like you're done, so keep going.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 4: I feel you Guarddita in my inwards, trying to burst out,
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 4: guard Dita. I hate you, Taco Bell, Taco Bell, Taco Bell.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 4: I want to run for the border.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 14: Thank you, very nice, very nice.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 4: I feel like I've dismounted, like you were doing gymnastics
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 4: and you dismount.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I got the tissue box out for that.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 4: One might need a roll a toilet paper. I'm just saying. Oh,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 4: So anyway, this seventh grader, what happened here? Just what happened?
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 4: So this seventh grader from this school, Drake Middle School
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 4: in Colorado, and the assignment for English Clash was to
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 4: come up with a slam poetry assignment. So this little
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 4: girl is a pro lifer. You're gonna hear from her
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 4: in just a moment. She did an interview with the
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 4: libs of TikTok and she got in trouble because her
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 4: slam poetry was about the pro life movement. So I
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 4: want you to hear the mom and the daughter explaining
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 4: what happened.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 17: My teacher assignment an assignment in class to write a
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 17: slam poem about a conflict in the world that we
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 17: are passionate about.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 21: I chose life.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 17: I chose this topic because it's important to me and
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 17: my family. In my poem, I met all the criteria,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 17: I got reputable resources, and I included everything that I
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 17: needed in my poem. But when I asked my teacher
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 17: if I could present it, she said no, this is
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 17: what my mom had to step in.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 21: I immediately emailed the teacher and I asked her to
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 21: call me. It took till the next day for her
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 21: to call me. They said that because of the offensive
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 21: material in the poem, that they were not going to
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 21: allow her to present and I pushed back on them
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 21: because not only were they presenting a lot of political
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 21: material themselves, but they were presenting it as truth. They
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 21: brought up issues like racial issues. They had lgbt Q
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 21: rights immigration to that, they said, sorry, no, this is
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 21: too political. We are not going to allow it. And
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 21: so here we are just telling our story.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 17: When I further asked my teacher about why cannot present,
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 17: she said that I would not be able to be
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 17: even in the class while my fellow classmates are presenting
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 17: their poems, and then I would have to sit outside.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 17: But when I further questioned her, she finally said that
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 17: I could be in the class to listen.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 4: All right, that that's what happened in Dreat Middle School
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 4: in Colorado. So the seventh grader actually recited the poem.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 4: And again, I want you to listen to this and
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 4: hear this. This is what this young lady and a
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 4: very very intelligent young lady, well spoken, and this is
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 4: the poem that the teacher found to be offensive. Take
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 4: a listen.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 21: A life is a life, no matter how small.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 17: Seventy three million people have been killed in one year
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 17: and will be killed again this year, if not more.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 17: And they're completely innocent humans. They never get to see
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 17: a light of day before they are cast away. They
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 17: did nothing wrong except exist, and we're dismissed. People say
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 17: women in healthcare, but never think how unfair they kill
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 17: baby for simply being there. The word of God says,
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 17: you knit me together in my mother's room. How come
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 17: we never listen to this and try to send them
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 17: to a tomb. I'm fearfully wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 21: His works are wonderful.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 17: A person is a person, no matter how small. A
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 17: life is a life, no matter how small. We often
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 17: forget this important detail. This detail could save a life.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 17: Sixty percent of babies who want aren't intended have died
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 17: because of this. Why do people kill these innocent babies
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 17: with the pill? Why do people say babies in the
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 17: womb are a mistake, a thing that needs to be
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 17: gotten rid of?
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 9: Why?
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 8: Why?
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 22: Why?
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 17: When you ask someone is murdered bad, they say, yes,
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 17: of course. But how come when you say murdering innocent
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 17: babies is bad they shame you. They say woman rights
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 17: in healthcare, but what about the baby's rights?
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 9: That's what's unfair.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 17: From the moment they are created, they are a human person.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 17: They are created in God's image. People say woman rights
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 17: in healthcare, they say she's a clump of cells, But
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 17: no one dwells in the fact that if baby still
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 17: has a heartbeat at six weeks, boom boom, boom boom.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 17: I think a bears to the love a mother has
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 17: for her baby. So just maybe we let them have
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 17: a chance to live, and that leve will grow destruction, dismay, dread.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 17: When will people comprehend that this needs to come to
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 17: an end. A life is a life, no matter how small.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 23: I love that.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 4: That's a great poem. I don't think it rhymes, but
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 4: it's a great poem. Again, this shows you, ladies and gentlemen.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 4: It shows you the level of propaganda that is being
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 4: spewed in these classrooms. And and this teacher was the
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 4: one who got offended. This teacher is the one who
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 4: was probably pro abortion. And this teacher wanted a silence
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 4: this young lady. That's what she wanted to do. And
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 4: that's just not right, all right? Nine oh one two
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 4: six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 4: two six zero five nine two six Dylan. I asked
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 4: chat GPT to write me a slam poem. I did,
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 4: and they did, and I feel obligated to read this.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 14: Yeah, all right.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 4: The title of this do we have like drums or something?
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 4: We need something?
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 14: Like, I don't know.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 4: We need like a mood a vibe here, right, you
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 4: want drum like beat nick kind of like, I don't know,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 4: you know, the the the people in Asheville at the
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 4: drum circle banging their boncos. We need something this yeah, yeah, uh,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 4: that might work. Probably not unless we're going on the warpath.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 4: I think Pocahontas is coming to the room. I'll just
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 4: read it. I'll read it raw, all right, that's I
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 4: caught myself. You're not allowed to say that other word.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 4: I'm doing this raw, Dylan. It's called after the Gordita.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 4: That's the name of this. I walked into Taco Bella Freeman.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 4: I had dreams, I had dignity. I had a cupon
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 4: and there it was the Gordita, soft shell, warm promise, beef,
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 4: tucked in like a secret. The FDA never wanted me
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 4: to know. I said, give me one. The cashier looked
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 4: at me like a priest hearing a confession. He already
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 4: knew how would end what this is weird. I took
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 4: the first biteen heard trumpets. Not heavenly trumpets. No, there
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 4: were trumpets from the seventh seal of Late Night Regret.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 4: Oh God, that cheese hit my so that sauce shook
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 4: my hands with my bloodstream. That lettuce, Lord, that lettuce
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 4: was just there for legal reasons. For six glorious minutes,
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 4: I was king. Then came the reckoning, a rumble, a trimmer,
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 4: a warning from the deep. My stomach said, brother, Brother,
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 4: we need to talk. I clutched the table. The room
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 4: got quiet, A baja blast sweated beside me like it
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 4: knew too much. I began bargaining with God, Lord, if
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 4: you get me home, I will never again mock people
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 4: who read nutrition labels. But the Gordita was not food.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 4: It was prophecy.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 15: It moved through me like breaking news, urgent, developing, unconfirmed,
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 15: that absolutely catastrophe, and somewhere sweet Lord, under fluorescent lights.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 15: But the purple bell, a new customer step forward and
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 15: said I'll have what he had. I wanted to rise
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 15: like a prophet from the booth and cry, no, my son,
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 15: the shell is soft, but the consequence is hard. But
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 15: I could not speak, because the Gordita had taken my
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 15: voice and left me with only one truth.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 4: Live moss, no pray, moss. I don't know what to
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 4: say to that, A little wordy I think yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 4: They got to self at it.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 14: They really had pretty good, pretty good.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 4: All right, We're going to take a break and really
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 4: think about our life choices during this segment. Nine oh
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 4: one two six zero five nine two six. This is
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 4: the Todd starn Show. All right, Welcome back to everybody.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 4: This is the Tom Stearns Radio Show. And Scott Jennings
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 4: over at CNN weighing in on Thomas Massey and explaining,
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 4: you know why Thomas Massey lost the race cut number
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 4: twenty nine place.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 16: Well, it was the most expensive House primary and US history,
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 16: and the President made it a priority to get rid
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 16: of Thomas Massey, and he succeeded because Massey had frankly
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 16: become an opponent of the president inside of the party,
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 16: and you just can't do that, you know, Massey used to,
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 16: you know, reliably vote with the Republicans. That number had
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 16: been falling over time. This is one of the most
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 16: conservative districts in the country. It's certainly a conservative area
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 16: of Kentucky. They gave Donald Trump a massive victory in
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 16: twenty twenty four, and they expect the Republican congressman who
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 16: represents them to be part of the team. The two
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 16: big issues in the race that were in most of
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 16: the advertising had to do with tax cuts and immigration,
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 16: and Massy was against Trump on both of his big
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 16: border security and tax cut bills, and so they said, look,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 16: we can get a Republican congressman that will be part
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 16: of the team and support the president. That campaign worked.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 16: I just want to also add one other thing. Thomas
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 16: Massey tonight, in his concession speech said something despicable, anti Semitic, nasty,
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 16: gutter politics right at the end. What a way to
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 16: go out. He said, I would have called ed Gal Ryan,
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 16: but you know I had to find him in Tel Aviv.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 16: There was a there was an undercurrent of anti semitism
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 16: in this race on the Massy side. There's been an
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 16: undercurrent of it in his career, unfortunately, and it really
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 16: came out in an ugly way tonight, and I think
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 16: it needs to be stated, acknowledged and condemned because it
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 16: was pretty despicable.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 4: And that was despicable, and we called him out immediately
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 4: last night on social media. By the way, Gal Ryan
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 4: and people actually thought they actually believe what Massey said.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 4: They didn't realize he was just cranking a joke, and
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 4: they actually thought that Gal Rhin was actually in Tel
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 4: Aviv on election night, when in fact he was right
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 4: there in the fourth Congressional District. As a matter of fact,
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 4: here's at gal Ryan cut number thirty.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 23: Place, greyfuligence coach Walde from Franklin Simpsons just sent me
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 23: a note and I could go on. But the kind
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 23: of people that shaped me into the young man I was,
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 23: and never realized this so many years later you know
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 23: what they'd done, including my FFA teacher, mister Hammers, World
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 23: War Two veteran sniper, wonderful man, humble as the day
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 23: is long. I want to thank my teammates from FFA
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 23: as future Farmers of America for you out of town
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 23: or folks, that's a big deal in Kentucky, Okay. FFA
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 23: to Football, to Seal Team and the Joint Special Operations
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 23: team that I served on all over the world. Thank
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 23: them for they made me the better person that I am.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 23: And the more I was promoted, the more and more
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 23: I got, the more humble I came. Now, my focus
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 23: is on advancing the presidents and the party's agenda to
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 23: put America first in Kentucky always. I'm going to keep
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 23: it as simple because again, I speak fluent Kentucky because
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 23: for the same reasons I joined in nineteen eighty three
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 23: to serve our nation.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 14: Remember I didn't join to be.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 23: A Navy seal. I joined to make a difference and
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 23: be in the Navy Seal.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 14: Was the path to do that? Weren't no books and movies,
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 14: never met one. I learned to swim in the Ohio River.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 4: That's ill advised, but that's.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 14: What I did on the farm.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 23: Would have got a whoopinghead I found out at the
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 23: house or I did that.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 14: But for the same reason I entered as.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 23: A Navy Seal officer in nineteen eighty three, because I
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 23: had the audacity to think I could make a difference,
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 23: and I did. I will serve this district, my party,
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 23: in my nation with that same audacity to make a
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 23: difference for them. Their families are dish our party and
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 23: our nation. God bless America.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 14: Thank y'all, Thank.
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 23: God for coming.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 4: Laurr. That's how ed gall ran. Who is going to
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 4: be the pretty much that's a super Republican history. So
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 4: he'll be the new congressmhen replacing Thomas Massey. And again
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 4: the idea that they're taking this man who has had
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 4: an impeccable military career, Navy seal and serve to the country,
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 4: and they're trying to portray him as some sort of
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 4: an agent of Israel. Is really despicable. And look, I
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 4: get it, there are people out there and you know
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 4: you hate Jews, but that's no reason for you to
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 4: go around there and slander people like ed gaal Ran.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's just ridiculous. And this, this whatever this
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 4: is that has infected the Republican Party. It's got to stop.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 4: It's got to stop, or it's going to start costing.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 4: It's going to start costing people elections. And I suspect
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 4: that's a little bit of that played out yesterday in
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 4: the state of Kentucky. All Right, gotta take a break here.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 4: Nine o one two six zero five nine two six.

• 1:35:57
  Speaker 24: for Alaskan cruises from.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 4: Here on out. Is You know, I have heard nothing
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 4: but great things about those Alaska cruises.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 24: You know, I was in the in the military of
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 24: the Navy specifically, and I've cruised to some beautiful destinations.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 24: This was by far the best place I've ever met.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 4: Wow, are you a big pizza hunt guy?
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 24: By the way, when you were talking about Pizza Hut,
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 24: brought me back down memory lane of the days of
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 24: playing Little League baseball. We used to have all of
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 24: our little parties after the game at the Pizza Hut
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 24: in Martlett. You get those pan pizzas.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 12: It was.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 4: There was a there was a mistique about the whole thing.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 24: Oh yeah, the red plastic cups, the whole nostalgic pizza
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 24: Hut and the little buffet area.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, those are the good old days. There was a
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 4: story studied them by you GOV this week. Pizza Hut
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 4: is actually the number one They interviewed forty four thousand
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 4: people they served Pizza Hut the number one pizza chain
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 4: in America. No kidding, no kidd Pizza Hunt said that
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 4: Domino's is number two. Papa John's, I'm the l Papa
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 4: John's guy. I am too. I love their wings, Yes,
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 4: they have great wings. Then Little Caesars, which I was
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 4: very surprised by. That's because it's five dollars. Yeah, and
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 4: Marcos Marcos, who would have thought? So there you go.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 4: All right, we're talking about something that I'm actually unfamiliar
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 4: with today is called key man coverage.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 24: What in the world is that, Well, we don't want
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 24: to be gender specific, so we've kind of gone to
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 24: key person insurance. Basically, what it is is, if you're
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 24: a business and you've identified somebody who is vital or
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 24: critical to the success of your company, we want to
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 24: have a conversation around why we should be protecting them
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 24: because as businesses grow, we don't want to have a
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 24: hiccup in our growth and if an unexpected death happens,
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 24: what we want to see is an influx of money
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 24: coming into the business so that we can continue to
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 24: maintain the momentum and the success that we're having and
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 24: also address things like, you know, if there's a spouse
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 24: of the deceased partner or deceased individual. We want to
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 24: be make sure that we're addressing the needs of them
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 24: and paying them out if they're a partner and vice versa.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 4: So Dylan, in this case, you would be the key
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 4: man here, so we've got to make sure you can't
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 4: go down, and if you do, we got problems. That's right, Oh,
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 4: this makes perfect sense. How you feeling, Dylan? Okay, so
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 4: far good? All right, just checking in, just checking in.
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 4: So is this really when you look at the key
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 4: man coverage, is it about protecting the business itself?
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 24: It's not really so much protecting the business as much
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 24: as it is is that you have somebody that you've identified,
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 24: whether they're a top salesperson, they're an actual partner, or
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 24: they're a founder. What this does is it allows an
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 24: influx of money to come into the business that allows
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 24: them to pay off some debt or replace that person
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 24: with another person that's just as good, but that's going
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 24: to come with a competitive salary. So we need some
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 24: money coming in. That's not part of business operations that
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 24: we know that business can operate the same way it
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 24: did before the loss of a key person.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 4: So let's just we're just going to take me as
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 4: an example, because just getting out of the hospital and
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 4: almost bit the you know, bought the farm, as they say,
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 4: So what are some of the real world consequence? So
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 4: let's say we did not have key man coverage here
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 4: at the Todd Start Show. What does that look like?
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 24: So that's a it's a great example. So if you
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 24: weren't here to sit in the microphone and have the
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 24: Todd Starn Show, what would happen to it? If you
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 24: had a key person insurance policy in place? Maybe that
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 24: gives Dylan an opportunity to find somebody who can.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 4: Fulfill that role.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 24: So I know we have some guest speakers that come
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 24: in and occasionally, you know, speak on your behalf, especially
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 24: when you're out for your illness. But let's just use
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 24: one of those guys. For instance, if you went down,
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 24: you're no longer with us, Dylan could get the influx
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 24: of money and pay somebody to continue to Todd Starnshow.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 4: I feel depressed right now.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 24: Well, it's it's never an easy conversation to talk about,
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 24: but it is proactive playing.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 4: We use somebody else. I want to use another example.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 20: I don't like me.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 4: You started that, I no idea, it's terrible. So so
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 4: let's so let's know, let's work this through though, because
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 4: a lot of people were saying, Okay, well great, we're
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 4: not Todd you know, this is not you know, I'm
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 4: not Todd Starts. I'm just a small business owner or something.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 4: What kind of again, what kind of businesses need to
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 4: consider something like this?
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 24: Well, a common misconception is people think it has to
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 24: be a large corporation for this to make sense, and
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 24: in fact, it's quite the contrary. We want to be
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 24: talking to those smaller businesses because it's those businesses are
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 24: typically operated with one or two key people. There's not
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 24: a big board of directors, there's not a lot of
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 24: employees that could step up and fulfill that role. So
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 24: we want to just make sure that those smaller companies
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 24: have a succession plan in place, a proactive if a
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 24: what if scenario happens, we've got a plan in place
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 24: for that.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 4: So this is really not it seems to me. It's
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 4: again it's not for just large corporations, but it seems
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 4: to me if you're actually a smaller business, it's more
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 4: important for you to have this kind of coverage.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 24: It definitely is because some of the things that we've
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 24: seen before is that you know, it may be two
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 24: married couples that get into one business, and so part
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 24: of the succession agreement if something happens that the spouse
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 24: of that other partner has got the opportunity to keep
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 24: it going and get paid a pension like or a salary,
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 24: or have the option to be bought out so that
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 24: they can just move away from the comm.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 4: So how do you talk? How do you figure out Okay, yeah,
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 4: we need this coverage. That's a smart thing to do.
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 4: Then you've got to figure out, all right, well, how
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 4: much coverage do you need?
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 24: So we simply have a conversation and say, tell us
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 24: about your business, give us your articles of incorporation or
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 24: your overall structure, who's involved. And what we do is
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 24: we have a conversation and we face them with the
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 24: difficult question of what happens if so and so is
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 24: no longer with us, what happens.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 7: To the business.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 24: And if that's a key salesperson or somebody who is
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 24: really good at their job, that's an AHA moment for
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 24: that other person to sit back and go, you know,
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 24: I never thought about if we lost him, what kind
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 24: of production we would lose or who would we owe
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 24: money to? And it's good to have those conversations. And
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 24: then that's when we get to say, hey, this is
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 24: an opportunity for you to put something that's very affordable
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 24: that would give you a mass slump sum of money
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 24: if this were to happen, and the business continues to
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 24: operate like nothing, And.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 4: All right, so what are some of the if there
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 4: are misconceptions? Again, I have never heard of such a thing,
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 4: and it's a brilliant thing actually, But what are some
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 4: of the misconceptions people might hear about this keymand coverage.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 24: Another misconception that we hear is that you know the
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 24: I've got life insurance, I don't need a key person. Well,
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 24: here's what we talk about. Like, you have a family,
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 24: so if something happens to you, you got your own
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 24: personal financial goals that you want to address and leave
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 24: your family in a good situation. So your your individual
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 24: coverage is there for your family, it's not there for
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 24: the business. So why do we need to implement a
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 24: key person and insurance policy for the business. Because you've
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 24: got a twofold situation here. You want to take care
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 24: of your family and you want to take care of
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 24: the business. And that's why we need to have two
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 24: separate policies.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 4: Adam Martin is with us a financial advisor at Strategic
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 4: Financial Partners. And if you've got a question, and it
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 4: may not even be on this topic, but you do
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 4: have a question, give us a call. Nine oh one
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 4: two six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 4: one two six zero five nine two six. I'm wondering.
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 4: Let's just say you are a business owner, when is
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 4: the right time to start thinking about about getting this
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 4: key man coverage.
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 14: I always say.
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 24: There's no time like the present. I mean, it may
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 24: make sense, it may not make sense, but what makes
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 24: sense is let's have a conversation about it. And at
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 24: least I can say check that box off that we
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 24: had a conversation about it. It didn't make sense to
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 24: move forward, or they couldn't afford it, or yes, we
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 24: do want to move forward because we didn't even think
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 24: that that was an issue that we needed to address.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 24: So no time like the present. Have a conversation. If
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 24: you've got a financial professional, bring that up to them.
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 24: If this is something you're concerned with. If you don't
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 24: have one, give me a call. Let's think through your situation.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 4: No, it's just so ironic that we're talking about this
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 4: because this was an issue that we've been talking about internally,
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 4: you know, since the you know, the incident, because you
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 4: know a lot of people, We employ a lot of people,
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 4: and for better or for worse, you know, I'm the
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 4: voice of what we do here. So this this really
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 4: makes a lot of sense.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 24: Well, I think about it too, in the way that
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 24: a lot of people. People put all of their eggs
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 24: in the one basket, and that one basket generally is
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 24: the business that they started, that's their retirement plan. They're
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 24: going to sell the business, that's their revenue to pay
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 24: their bills while they're in business. And so this is
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 24: a good tool in the toolbox to put in your
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 24: situation because that is going to help the business keep going.
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 24: It gives you options if an event like that happened.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 4: Adam, again, I want to circle back to the whole
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 4: idea of having a financial advisor. And some people think, oh,
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 4: that's something only rich people are wealthy people need. I
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 4: completely disagree with that. I don't care how old you are.
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 4: I think it's smart to actually go and meet with
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 4: a financial advisor. So what do you recommend to people,
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 4: and what can they expect if they you know, if
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 4: they decide to call you.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 24: What you can expect for me is is me personally.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 24: I'm a down to earth guy who is a listen
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 24: first advisor. I can't go into any kind of meeting
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 24: with any preconceived notions. I try to be as agnostic
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 24: as possible so that I can fully understand what the
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 24: pain points are, if there is any pain points, and
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 24: give you the best recommendations. So as a financial advisor,
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 24: you don't have to have a lot of money for
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 24: us to have a conversation. It's as simple as sometimes
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 24: as hey, you need to put cash reserves in place
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 24: because you have no liquidity if an event happened, We've
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 24: got to sell something in the market, which would take
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 24: a day to settle before you can even get the money.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 24: Let's have three to six months worth of cash because
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 24: that's the most glaring need for your financial plan. That
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 24: didn't cost you anything in the way of fees to
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 24: put money in the bank. But that's advice that you're
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 24: getting from an advisor.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 4: And it doesn't cost to anybody to pick up that
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 4: phone and call as well, so it's a free consultation,
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 4: exactly right. And Adam also, in addition to being a
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 4: great financial advisor, a great American patriot, served our nation
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 4: in the military, and he's one of the good guys
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 4: out there. So again I want you to write down
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 4: his telephone. I'm going to give this number to you.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 4: Adam Martin, a financial advisor, and maybe you have a
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 4: question about finances. He's happy to answer that for you.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 4: Nine oh one two six zero two four three eight. Again,
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 4: that's not one two six zero two four three eight.
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 4: And Adam, they're gonna call. If somebody calls you, what happens.
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 24: Then, So I'm gonna ask you some basic stuff. Hey,
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 24: how'd you hear about me? What's your name? Where are
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 24: you from?
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 4: And that, to me is the the old joke.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 24: How much is the polar Bear way enough to break
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 24: the ice?
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 12: You know?
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 24: So I'm just gonna break the ice, talk to you,
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 24: learn more about you, and then ask you what's concerning
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 24: and how can I help.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 4: I love it and that's what this segment is all about.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 4: Every week, Adam, good to see you, and welcome to
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 4: send to you. It's a little human out there by
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 4: the way, not Alaska.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 24: Take me back to Alaska.
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 4: I love it, Adam Martin. Everybody. I want to give

• 1:46:53
  Speaker 4: want to go to the website Strategic Financial Partners dot
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 4: com and you'll find Adam Martin's information there as well.
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 4: Hang hi, everybody got to take a quick break, Dylan,
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 4: that last segment kind of got me creeped out.
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, that's actually why we brought him.
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 4: Like, wait a second, what's going on here? I feel
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 4: jingster or something. By the way, No, but on all seriousness,
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 4: what a great thing. I had no idea something like
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 4: that actually existed. And that's one of the reasons why
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 4: we love Adam Martin, just one of our experts, and
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 4: we wanted to bring him to you every single Wednesday
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 4: free of charge.
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 12: You know.
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 4: And a lot of times people don't want to call
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 4: in and ask financial questions on the air, which is
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 4: why we say, you know what, you can actually call
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 4: us off air and we can give all that information
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 4: to Adam and his great team at Strategic Financial partners,
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 4: and I do want to give that number one more time.
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 4: Nine oh one two six zero five nine six. That's
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 4: our number, and we'll certainly convey and pass along your information.
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 4: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 4: Apparently today is World B Day. As in World B Day,
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 4: the White House sharing a photograph of the President and
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 4: the First Lady at the official White House beehive. So
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 4: happy World B Day and all of you folks that
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 4: are that are celebrating, by the way, big big doings
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 4: on Capitol Hill today, hearings underway about the Southern Poverty
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 4: Law Center and their radical attacks on Conservatives and Christians
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 4: in America. You know, the Southern Poverty Law Center being exposed.
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 4: Of course, they are facing some serious federal charges. But
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 4: the reality is that the behavior of the of the
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 4: Southern Poverty Law Center literally put lives in danger across
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 4: the nation, and they put a bullseye on every single
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 4: conservative of the nation. So I am glad that they
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 4: are now finally being held accountable for what they've done.
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 4: So there's a guy in New York. He is a
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 4: congressional candidate. His name is Anthony Constantino. This guy going
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 4: viral he's running for office, and he's talking about he's
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 4: a big Donald Trump fan. So he has officially released
• 1:49:22
