• 0:01
  Speaker 1: From the principal Toyota studios, it's Morning in Memphis with
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Todd Starnes.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: And good morning, everybody. Welcome to the show. I'm not
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Todd Starnes. I'm John Covington. I'm filling in for Todd.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: And I look behind me. Hey, Dylan, the sign still
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: says Starnes Country. When are we getting this changed, right?
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: We're not changing it.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: We have to post it a little bit longer.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, so one day doesn't count to get the sign changed. Everybody,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: glad that you're tuning in. As I say, I'm John Covington.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Here with my good buddy, rocking the mic over there,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: or rocking the production board, is Dylan. I always say, Dylan,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I could not do this show without you.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Hey, same. Likewise.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, literally, because I don't know how to
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: push all the buttons back there, so I literally.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: And I don't know how to talk, so maybe we
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: work together.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Say, what a team we make. What a team. Well, anyway,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: we got a lot of stuff in the news to
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: talk about.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: You got the WNBA finals going on, Dylan. You paying
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: close attention to that?
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I'm really not.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: You're really not. Well, here's the thing. I'm on record.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: I'm a huge Caitlin Clark fan. My daughter and I
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: love watching her play. We've gone up to Indianapolis and
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: seen her play, and it's a lot of fun. Never
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: have I enjoyed watching a player so much, and never
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: have I despised the league in which they play so much.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: It's the WNBA. It's got to be the dumbest league
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: that's ever existed. The latest thing. The finals are going on,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: and I'm not paying attention to it because, well, Caitlin
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Clark's not in it. And both teams have decided that
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: it's a good idea to not stand out on the
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: court for the national anthem. They run off the court
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: as the national anthem plays. I don't know about you, Dylan,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: but that seems like a pretty horrible marketing idea.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: It's like the most un-American thing of all time.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: My God. I mean, you know, it's just ridiculous. It
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: makes zero sense to me. And since Kaitlyn's out of
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: the picture, and by the way, it seems like most
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: of the league are anti-Kaitlyn Clark, the viewership, you want
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: to know how the viewership's doing? Not so good, I'll
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: tell you that, because it's fallen pretty precipitously. And in fact,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the latest game was they had more viewers for the
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Little League World Series Championship. Nothing against the Little League
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: World Series Championship, but it is not known particularly as
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: a ratings juggernaut. So there you go, WNBA fans. You
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: can hate Caitlin Clark all you want, and you cannot
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: stick around for the national anthem, but you're the ones
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: who are going to pay the price. Anyway, that was
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: my old man rant for the morning. I like to
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: get started with a good rant to get the blood moving. Well, apparently,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: they tell me there's elections going on. Dylan, have you
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: heard anything about this?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's quite a few elections.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what they say. Have you voted, sir?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I have not voted yet.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Why would you admit it? What is wrong with you?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Sorry. You know what, officer?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly right. Exactly right.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not good at early voting. I'm good at on
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: time voting. But maybe early is on time.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Well, that's what they used to tell us in the
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: police academy. On time is late. Early is on time.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I hate that because I'm so late all the time.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: So late all the time. Well, I gave him a
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: scare this morning. Usually it's me out there sadly standing
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: in the dark awaiting Dylan's arrival. But I was running
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: a little behind today. I was still early, so I
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: was still on time. And I think Dylan got a
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: little nervous he was going to have to do the show. But, no,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: luckily I showed up. So in answer to your question,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: what have I been up to lately, which I'm sure
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you were thinking. I'm sure you think that all the time.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I have been writing some opinion pieces for the Daily Memphian.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: And they finally decided maybe it's a good idea to
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: have a conservative voice. And I agree that it's a
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: good idea. And one that I wrote most recently, not
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the one that came out this morning. We can. Well, actually,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: it is the one that I'm getting behind. I got
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: so many going. It's all about the Marsha Blackburn video.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: You familiar with the video when she's there dancing with everybody?
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I am familiar.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Well, OK. Kind of a silly video. But the reaction
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: to it was much sillier. Just completely ridiculous. In fact,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I was on a panel show. over there on the
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: ABC recently. And one of my co-panelists, Otis Sanford, he
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: and I, a great guy. I like him very much.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: We do not agree on anything politically. But he had
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: his thoughts about the video. And Dylan, if you could
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: play clip one.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: We haven't talked about that. The video is an insult.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Marsha Blackburn was one of the ones who criticized Kendrick Lamar,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: and they're dancing off of Kendrick Lamar. She was one
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: of the ones who criticized him heavily for when he
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: did that song, They're Not Like Us, at the Super Bowl.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: And now to come out, and whether she made it
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: or not, she posted it. This video, which is pretty
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: ham-handed in my mind, it's an insult, especially to African
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Americans and Americans.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Memphis, where you were the leader.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: In breaking up the city of Memphis and turning them
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: into three congressional districts, is an insult.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Well, ham-fisted, okay, fine. That's an opinion, and it is
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: kind of a silly video. But insult to black Memphians,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: that seems quite a leap. And it really, you know,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I said this is what happens so often where you
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: disagree with a Republican and then suddenly a racial element
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: gets involved. And we're going to talk about Justin Pearson
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: and what he's been saying about Brent Taylor coming up
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: a little later. But I was really taken back by that.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: And then I started paying attention nationally, which is never
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: a good idea to pay attention to the legacy media,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: the mainstream media. But I decided. And on MS Now,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Daryl Robinson wrote, Blackburn's video isn't blackface in the technical sense,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: but it's blackface in the figurative sense. Having acknowledged the
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: clip does not depict the historical offense. He invokes the
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: weight anyway. Dylan, does that seem a little heavy? Have
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: you seen the video?
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen it.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Blackface is not what jumps out at me. Not even close.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Not even close. Ashley Allison on CNN called it cultural appropriation,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: which I detest that whole concept. This is ridiculous. She says,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: keep Kendrick Lamar rap out of your mouth. And it's
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: called the policies of Blackburn, the real filth. And hip
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: hop wired writer, hip hop wired writer. What the heck
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: is that? Bernard Bean Smalls, a sort of the Republicans love,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: and this is a quote, love to make the lives
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: of black people absolutely miserable. This is just such a
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: silly overreaction. And it's that same old thing. You play
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: the race card against Marsha. You know, you can disagree
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: with Marsha, but this is unbelievable. But if you want
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: to talk about a politician and race that was really
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: over the top, I don't know if you remember when
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden in 2020 was on the Breakfast Club. You
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: listen to the Breakfast Club podcast?
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I catch the clips. I don't watch their show.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Well, he told leaders, or he told listeners who had
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: trouble choosing between him and Trump, if you didn't vote
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: for Biden, then quote, then you ain't black, unquote. Like, what?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I remember that one.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: You want to talk about cringe? You know, you can
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: call Marsha Blackburn's video cringe. That is the most cringe
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: thing I've ever heard. And here's the backlash against this
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: push to paint Donald Trump, the Republicans, is racist, which
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: is absolutely not true. Donald Trump continues to do better
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: and better with minority groups. You saw a support jump,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: rose from 8% for black support in 2020 to 15%
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: in 2024. Hispanic support increased from 36% to 48%, and
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Asian support rose from 30% to 40%. So, I mean,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: you can make all these accusations you want if that
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: feels good. The Democrats love to be emotional. They don't
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: like to deal with Facts are, you know, real issues.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: They want to just attack on the emotive feeling and
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: use things like race to try to divide us. But
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: the proof is just not in the pudding. Dylan, your thoughts.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I put you on spot.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: No, I agree with you. I mean, people saying that
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: this video is blackface or somehow racist or culturally. That's
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: just it's kind of insane to me. I mean, we
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: have people like we have rappers like Eminem, who's very
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: white to me and who's a very good rapper. Exactly.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: And like you're saying, white people can't like Kendrick Lamar.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: We can't use.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Songs or do like the stretch that you're making.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Just to go after someone politically is it's not connecting.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: No.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: And I think it shows why Republicans are doing better
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: and better with traditional minority groups, because that silliness like this. And,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: you know, that reminds me the whole this whole thing
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: came out of that. We have a governor's race and
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I want to make some comments about that. But we're
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: coming up on the break. You know, my timing with Helen,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: poor Helen. I kept jumping out early and she'd be
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: talking in my ear like, what are you doing? What
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: are you doing? You fool. You'll kill us all.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: But.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: See, I'm tap dancing. So we get close to our break.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: But anyway, I want to say some more things about
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: the governor's race when we get back. Talk about Justin Pearson,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: a favorite topic. And hopefully we'll have a surprise guest
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: jumping in soon. But anyway, stay tuned. We'll be right.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I'm going to hold it. I'm going to hold it.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I'm going to hold it. We'll be right back. See
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: you guys in a second. And welcome back to the show.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: This is coming live to you from the Principal Toyota
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Memphis studio. Morning in Memphis. And, hey, we'd love to
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: hear your opinion, hear your thoughts. You want to call in.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: It's 901-260-5026.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: 901-260-5026.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: And might I say how lovely the principal Toyota Memphis
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: studio is. Dylan, you do a heck of a job
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: of keeping it up. I think you could grow marijuana
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: under these lights that are shining on me right now.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: But somehow I will overcome.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: You're a shining star right now.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Shining star, exactly. You know, I love– you missed the breaks.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: We should play those when Dylan comes in and always
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: chastises me about that. He's like, you know, we've got
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: to let them know traffic and weather is coming up there.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: It's like, well, my God, we're going to get that fixed.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I'm a coach. What can I say?
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: You are a coach, and you're an inspiration to me
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: like the Nick Saban of the radio game.
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: Oh, wow.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: So anyway, I was on this panel show over on ABC.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: In fact, I'm going to be a– plug for myself.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be on the election night coverage over
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: there on the ABC, and I suspect I'll be the
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: only Republican over there. So, you know, tune in and
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: see me stand my ground and, you know, fight the
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: liberal agenda, which I'm sure I'll be hearing all night.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: But I'm going to do my best. I got the
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: facts on my side, so I'm not too worried about it. Now,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: we got this business going on for governor, and I
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: forget when it's happening because it really doesn't matter, but
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: it's the debate between the governor's people running for governor
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: without Marsha Blackburn going to be there. And that, you know,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: people have made a lot of hay about that, but
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: you know, the bottom line, Dylan is that politics is
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: a cutthroat business and you only want to debate if
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: you're losing. And that's why these other folks want to debate.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: And that doesn't say if you support Marsha, it's safe
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: to stay home. No, get out and vote. You know, I'm,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I'm all my cards on the table. I'm a Marsha supporter,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: but you know, looking at some of the, these other folks,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: you know, poor Jerry Green, she couldn't find the middle.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: If she had a GPS, she's moved so far to
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: the left in this race, which brings me up to the,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: the young gentleman, Chaz Mulder, uh, who's running for Congress
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: doing a fantastic job of pretending to be a Republican.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: I give him credit, but to me, that's kind of
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: the smart play. You know, uh, he's a Democrat and
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: he's running against Charlie Hatcher for Congress. And, uh, if
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I was advising him, that would be the smart play.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: And Jerry Green has decided to move to the left
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: and appearing with Justin Pearson a lot. I do not
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: think that's, that's a good move. I mean, as a
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: voter out there, what message, uh, seeing a Jerry Green
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: with a Justin Pearson, does that send to you, Dylan?
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I, I don't know the thing with Chaz Mulder.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: It's very, it's very interesting that the Republican ishness of
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: him is, is, uh, is something that could possibly work. Um,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Because it's just like, oh, well, Republican sounds better. That's
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: just funny to me that that's the strategy. Republican just
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: sounds better.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Well, just be a Republican instead of pretending to be
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: a Republican. You know, that's my opinion. But, yeah, I
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: see all his ads on TV and everything. And they're
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: holding hands, you know, saying prayers around the dinner table. And,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: you know, it's very in all his positions. You know,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: he tries to be down the middle. And we'll see
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: how it plays out. I think Charlie Hatcher is going
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: to win that race. I certainly hope so. But we'll
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: see if that strategy is effective. Now, something else I
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: want to talk about is, you know, the CNN, speaking
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: of the media, they're not always down the middle, Dylan,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: as it turns out. Sometimes, sometimes they can present the
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: news with kind of a leftward slant.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: No way.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: No, I know.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I hate for you to find out here like this,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: but it's true. You know, and if you've got an
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: opinion on that, again, please give us a call at
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: 901-260-5026 because I want to play a clip. There I
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: was minding my own business there at the house, hopefully
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: on the treadmill as my doctor's been telling me to do.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I'm sure I was looking at my computer and a
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: little story from CNN popped up and we've got some
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: audio from it. I just want to play it real
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: quick and then we can discuss it.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Ice out, National Guard out. My siblings and I are
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: living in horror, scared of one of our family members
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: getting taken again.
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: How many more have to die before you stand up
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: and do the right thing?
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I hope for your sake that that answer is none.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: They are actively contributing to the dehumanization of all Memphians,
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: and we want them out now.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: No one is.
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: Illegal in Stole Land.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Bring the animals, raise humans.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: It's time to stop bowing down to this fascist, racist,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: authoritarianistic experiment that they're making our beloved city look like.
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: In my mind, this is a no-brainer. It's time for
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: them to leave.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: We are on the front lines of fascism here in Memphis, Tennessee.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Ice out.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Well, that was– okay, so that was CN's version of
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: what's happening in Memphis with the Memphis Safe Task Force.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: And you heard some citizens speaking, and then you heard
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Jeff Warren, Councilman Jeff Warren, Councilwoman Michael and Easter Thomas,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: and then Councilwoman Jerry Green. And to listen to that,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: you would come away, I think, believing, wow, Memphis– does
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: not want the task force there. This is a life
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: or death thing. It's so dramatic in the music. And
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, what was your reaction to hearing that Dylan?
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: It's like very cinematic.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I know. It's so depressing. It's making it sound like
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: it's the worst thing that's ever happened to Memphis. When
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's not that case.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: No, it's about one of the best things that's ever
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: happened to Memphis. And, but it's just so typical here. CNN,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: they're presenting this as the truth is so typical of
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: the media. I think they agree there. Many people agree.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: At CNN, they're an anti-task force. But they don't show
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: that murders are down 60%, robberies down 38%, car thefts
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: down 54%. All these people happy that Memphis is safer
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: than it has been since 2011. It's an amazing turnaround.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: So many people support it. But this is what we get,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: this kind of slanted view. And of course, they pick
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: three liberal council people to talk about it. So it's frustrating.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: And if you have any Thoughts on that? Again, please
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: give us a call at 260-5926. Dylan gave me the
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: sheet and it had 5026. Yes, the infallible Dylan.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Sometimes coaches messes up.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: It could have been more perfect for the karma there.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, this is a frustration that I
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: have again and again, and conservatives do. that the media
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: just does not present the real story, and it's obviously
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: got a liberal slant when it comes to what's going
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: on here with Memphis with the task force. And you
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: take the emotional, like, oh, you know, they got kids
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: on there talking and all this stuff, but it's just
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: not reality. It's just not what's really happening. You know,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: my argument would be, hey, why don't you try journalism
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: instead of this editorializing? But that's what I feel like
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: everything that comes from so much of the mainstream media
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: is editorializing about their own beliefs. And it certainly gets frustrating. So,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: you know, and if you speak up against it and
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: have a common sense take, you know, getting back to
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: the fever, Sophie Cunningham came out and said, hey, I
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: don't think men should play in women's sports. Boy, she
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: got attacked as a transphobe, as a bigot and all
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: this stuff. And believe it or not, I know you
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: believe it, her opinion is held by a majority of Americans.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: And it was acted like the mainstream media treated her
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: like she was out there on the And it just
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: gets frustrating. Conservatives, you know, we get a tough time
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: and it gets frustrating. And watching that CNN thing just
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: encapsulated so much of it. And, you know, most times
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I roll my eyes, but something as important as a
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: task force and not giving the full story, that really
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: made my blood boil. Extremely frustrating. I don't know, Dylan.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know. We got to go in another direction.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: For the next thing, we got to get happy. We
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: got to get excited. I got frustrated just thinking about
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: it again. that we can do so much better, but
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: stay tuned. A little birdie has told me that Brent
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Taylor is going to be joining us. So that's going
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: to be very exciting. So stay tuned for that. We're
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: going to have a lot to talk about. Check it
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: back in just a moment. Hey, and welcome back to
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: the show. I'm John Covington filling in for Todd Starnes
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: here in the principal Toyota Memphis studio. We've got a
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: very special guest who's standing by, but before we bring
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: him on, I want to take a second to play something.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: His opponent is, This has had something to say about
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Brent Taylor. Let's hear what Justin Pearson, latest wackiness he had.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: He knows.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: He is a racist.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: He's a white supremacist.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: And he loves it that way.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Good grief. Sir, how are you? Good morning, my friend.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Happy to have you on. So, first of all, what
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: do you make of this latest foolishness by Justin Pearson?
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: I didn't think he could get more stupid, but he
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: finds a way every day.
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: Well, he... You know, Democrat Socialist Justin Pearson, he brings
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: a lot to the table. It's just mainly chaos.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: Every time he opens his mouth, he just proves that
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: he's as shallow as a puddle. And look, you know,
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: you can tell we are getting close to the election.
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: We're eight days away. You can tell who the frontrunner
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: is because he has resorted to the only card he
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: has left to play, and that's the race card.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Well, and that's the thing, and I talked earlier about
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: how often the Democrats love to pull out the race
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: card when they have nothing else, but Justin Pearson has
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: been so blatant about it, and it's just ridiculous. I
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: think it's a turnoff for folks, and it's so clear
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: what a true radical he is. But you're out there
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: talking to the people. You're a busy man, babies and
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: kissing hands and doing all that stuff. So give me
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: a report from out there in the field. What are
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: you hearing?
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: Well, I'll be glad to, but let me just say
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: this one other thing about how often Democrat Socialist Justin
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: Pearson plays the race card. If you remember, he took
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: to the floor of the State House of Representatives with
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: a bullhorn, and when he got expelled, he said it
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: was because of racism. And then he was in a
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: committee meeting, and he had to be physically restrained from
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: a Representative Andrew Farmer in a committee. And once again,
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: he said it was racism. Then he went up into
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: the House gallery during the special session where he stood
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: toe to toe with law enforcement and called him a
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: stupid MF-er and a boy. And he said it was
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: racist cops. And then he went down to the Memphis
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: City Council with a bullhorn, disrupted their meeting, got himself
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: banned for a couple of meetings, and said it was racism. Now,
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: how that works with a majority black city council is
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: beyond me. But at every turn, when he doesn't get
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: his way, and he is being, make no mistake, he
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: is being denied this congressional race because Tennessee Niners are
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: tired of what he has to offer, and they're going
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: to choose confidence over chaos. But every single time he
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: doesn't get his way, he reaches for the race car. Now,
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: what we're hearing out in the district, we're working hard.
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: People are beginning to wake up and begin to engage
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: in this campaign and this election. And as I said,
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: people are going to choose common sense over communism and
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: competence over chaos.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: You know, there was a time I've heard people say,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: You know, in elections, like, well, you know, elections get
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: heated and terms get thrown, overheated terms get thrown around,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: you know, like fascists or communists. But that's not an
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: overheated term in this situation with the modern Democrats and
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: with Justin Pearson. I mean, it's communism, right? And that's
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: what they're talking about. It's having a moment with the
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Democratic Party. And it's totally shocking to me.
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: It is. And they're cloaking it, John, in this Democrat-Socialist agenda.
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: They're calling themselves Democrat socialists. Look, that's just a euphemism
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: for communism. And my opponent has been on Hassan Piker's
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: podcast at least once, I think more than that. And
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: Hassan Piker, if you remember, he said America just got
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: what it deserved on 9-11. And he said that Hamas
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: was better than Israel. So I This is the kind
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: of people that my opponent, Democrat, Socialist, Justin Pearson, likes
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: to hang out with. Ilhan Omar has endorsed him, and
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: she has not endorsed me, not that I'm aware of.
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: And then Ayanna Pressley, AOC, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, they've
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: all endorsed my Democrat, Socialist opponent, Justin Pearson.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Well, and I'm glad you brought up Hassan Piker because, yeah,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: you talked about, you said America deserved 9-11, that he
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: is a great believer and supporter of Mao and Stalin
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: and thought they did good work when they were in office.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: And this guy, and he said he wanted to wipe
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: his blank with the Constitution. So you would think, okay,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: this is some out-there guy that the Democratic Party would
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: distance themselves from. No, no, no, quite the opposite. As
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: you said, Justin Pearson is sitting down with him. He's
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: out there on campaign stops up in Michigan. It just
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: blows my mind. Brent, is it a breakdown in the
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: education system that they just don't understand history? What is
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: going on with this turn by the Democrats, not only
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: to move leftward, but to move straight communism? I just
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: don't get it. And I'm sure the people you're talking
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: to out through Tennessee, I'm pretty sure the majority of
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: them are not communists. Would that be a fair statement?
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: That is a very fair statement, Ed. And as it
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: relates to why we're seeing this insurgence of communism within
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: the Democrat Party, I think it's two things. One, you
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: touched on the breakdown of the education system because they
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: don't teach classical civics anymore. But then the other thing
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: is I blame a lot of it on immigration. We
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: have more foreign-born nationals in this country today than we
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: have ever had in our nation's history. We're bringing in
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: people into our country legally and illegally, and we're bringing
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: in more than they're able to assimilate. And as a result,
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: it is changing our Western values, our Western culture. Look
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: no further than what's going on in Europe right now,
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: in France.
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: In Italy.
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: Where there are riots. It's because of all the unfettered
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: immigration they allowed into those countries, and they don't understand
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: and appreciate our Western culture, our Western values, and that's
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: why there's a breakdown in society over there. And unless
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: we do something in this election, get out and vote,
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: unless we do something, that is a preview of what's
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: going to happen in America if we don't return to
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: immigration system that makes sense, where we don't just let
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: people in that are.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Destroying our nation. You're 100% right, and I'm glad you
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: brought up Europe because it's such a prime example. You know,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Paris was on the leading edge, you know, wanting to
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: be kumbaya and all this stuff, and they were just
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: letting anybody and anyone in. And it led in a
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: bunch of people antithetical to their basic beliefs about democracy.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: And we see the result. You know, it is completely
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: blown up into absolute chaos. And we just we cannot
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: cannot allow that in America. By the way, I was
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: happy to say, you know, I went and voted for Congress.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: I voted for David Kustoff, but I got a chance
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: to vote for you for state Senate. And I want
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: to remind people that that's an important thing to do
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: to make sure that they even though you're running for
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Congress and state Senate. Why is it important that they
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: they get to vote twice for.
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: You, Brent? Well, it's important that they vote for me
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: both in Congress and the state Senate, because if the
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: Democrat wins the state Senate seat, then there will be
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: a Democrat in that seat for the next four years.
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: It's important that I be elected to the state Senate,
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: and if I happen to be fortunate enough to also
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: be elected to Congress, I will have to make a
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: decision as to which office I can best fulfill the
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: needs of my constituents, whether it be in the state
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: Senate or Congress. And if I ultimately choose Congress, then
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: I would resign that Senate seat and there would be
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: a special election to fill that seat and ensure that
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: a Republican would represent the people of District 31 for
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: the next four years.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Well, and so I want to remind people, just when
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: you see the name Britt Taylor, vote for it. If
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: you see it twice, vote for him twice. And you
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: can And he can't go wrong. Well, Brenna, I appreciate
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: you checking in with us. I know you're I see
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: the hard work you're doing. You know, I don't know
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: how you keep up with this crazy schedule, but it's
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: almost over. You're almost to the promised land. But any
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: any last thoughts to voters as we get closer and closer? Well,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: we're in voting, but as we finish up early voting
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: and head to voting day.
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: Well, I will tell you, John, a campaign is a
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: lot like a roll of toilet paper. That is, the
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: closer you get to the end, the faster it goes.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: We are eight days from the election, and I want
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: to encourage everyone within the sound of my voice, go vote.
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: Vote early. I'm a funeral director. I'm an undertaker by profession.
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: I encourage everybody to go vote early because you just
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: never know what might happen. But if you don't vote
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: early and you have to make it to Election Day,
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: be sure and vote Brent Taylor for Congress.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: Amen.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you, sir, for checking in with us. Good
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: luck out there. We know you're going to be successful. But, hey, folks,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: don't take anything for granted. Get out there and vote
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: for Brent Taylor. So, sir, you take care, and I'll
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: talk to you soon.
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: I appreciate you, John. Thank you.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Well, you know, Brent, he's one of the–
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm just going to be blatant. We're lucky
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: to have him, and I'm counting on him being successful,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: and he's going to make one hell of a congressman.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: But as I say, don't take anything for granted. Get
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: out there and vote. Your vote counts. Let's make sure
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: that we send Brent Taylor to Congress. What else we
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: got going on out there? I hear the folks. This
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: turns out people listen to the show. I expect they
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: listen when Todd's here, but apparently they listen when I'm
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: here too. Anything pop up, Dylan, that we should mention?
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Lots of things in Memphis happened over the weekend in
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: terms of sports. We have the Grizzlies who are 3-0
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: for the first time Well, they've probably been 3-0 in
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: the past.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: But I'm cautiously optimistic. I didn't feel this happening, and
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: I'm like, huh? Let's not mess it up. But I'm excited, yeah.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: We have a very good guard in Ty Jerome. Who
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: saw this coming? I don't know. 35 points, averaging first
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: in the league right now. That's insane. Also, Memphis Tigers
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: won on Thursday in an overtime game, which was very
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: close against East Carolina. But we pulled through, and it's
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: big ups for Memphis right now.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, this is really good. And sports, you know,
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: this town can be very divided, but sports, the Tigers,
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: the Grizzlies, that's what brings us together. And when they're successful,
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: that's a good thing.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: It's a very good thing. And people are going out
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: to the games. That's what I love the most. People
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: are actually leaving their house and they're going to the games,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: which is encouraging.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: It is encouraging. So do we– looks like we have
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: a caller here. Am I correct in that? Have I
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: read the big board or should we– Yeah, we've got
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: a little time. Well, should we do the break and
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: come back with a caller? You do that? Yeah. I'm
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: going to defer to the brilliance of Dylan. So stay tuned.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: We're going to come back. We're going to talk some
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: more about this, talk a little bit more about Brent.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: This caller's got some comments on Justin Pierce. I'm excited
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: to hear that. So stay tuned. We'll be right back.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: And welcome back to the show. I'm John Covington filling
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: in for Todd Starnes from the podcast. Toyota Memphis studio.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: And we have a couple of callers. I want to
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: start off with our good friend, Lisa Arnold. She's got
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: some thoughts on Justin Pearson. Lisa, how are you doing?
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: And what do you want to say about our esteemed gentleman,
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Justin Pearson?
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: Well, good morning, John. How are you doing?
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Doing great.
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: I was just going to piggyback off Senator Taylor. If
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: you remember, when I was running against the infamous Tammy Sawyer,
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: he had a press conference and called me a racist
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: white supremacist also.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: His signature move, right? Yeah.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah. It's like that's his go-to any time of an
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: election when he's feeling threatened. But, yeah, he went on the...
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: a press conference saying that same thing about me because
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: I was trying to keep a black woman from succeeding,
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: not going based on my experience or anything. And I
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: never met the guy, but that's what he, you know,
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: that's his go-to. Well, luckily to bring race into it
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: every time.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: And luckily Tammy got an office and it all worked out. Oh, wait, wait,
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: it didn't go so well, but that's a different story.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: But Lisa, thank you for, for bringing that insight. I'd
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: forgotten about that, but you're a hundred percent right. This
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: is his M.O. But I appreciate you calling in. We
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: have just a little bit of time left. I want
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: to touch base with Melanie as well, so thank you. Hey, Melanie,
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: this is John Covington filling in for Todd. Thanks for
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: calling in. Melanie Mosley, she's the leader of the Whitehaven
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Republican Club. How are you doing this morning, and what
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: do you want to talk about?
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Good morning, John. I'm doing good. How about yourself?
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Man, I'm fantastic. Much better than talking to you. It
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: always cheers me up.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Well, I want to tell everybody to get out and
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: support us. soon-to-be congressman of District 9, Brent Taylor. Brent
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: has always supported White Haven. He's always supported Memphis. And
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: I think once we get him elected in Washington, we'll
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: even see a bigger, you know, return on what he
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: can do. I'm very thankful for Senator Brent Taylor for
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: supporting the White Haven Republican Club. He's been with me
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: since day one. He would always come out and speak,
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: you know, in his capacity as a state senator on
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: what's going on in Memphis, what he's doing to make
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Memphis better, how he's fighting Memphis crime, he would do that. Justin,
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: on the other hand, cannot do that. So when Democrats
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: don't have a platform or a, you know, policies that
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: they work on, then they get the bullhorn and they
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: start screaming, white supremacists and racists, you know, and that's
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: their tagline.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: To get you, you.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: Know, to listen, but I'm asking people do not fall
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: for the hype. If you follow Brent Taylor and his record,
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: you would know that he supports Memphis and he supports
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: making Memphis safe. And another thing, too, you know, I
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: was really, I'm really, I just don't like the fact that,
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: you know, not only what Justin did in Nashville, because
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: he went to the state troopers who I, if I'm
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: not mistaken, they make sure that the House and the
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: Senate leaders are safe and secure now. But then you
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: stand in that man's face and call him a racist
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: and a boy, and this is the same man that
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: protects you? So, you know, we can't fall for the foolishness.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: And then anybody that blasphemes God, you know, I have
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: nothing else to say to you, nothing. So, you know,
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: we have to look and really be prayerful about what's
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: going on in our city. And again, let's not fall
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: for the racist and white supremacist. If you don't know
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Brent Taylor, you don't know him, but you can get
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: to know him because he's very accessible and he will
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: win district nine. So, but like I said, we have
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: to all do our part and get out and vote.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Melanie, for calling in for those words.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: And thank you for all your work you do with
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: the Whitehaven Republican Club down there. Melanie Mosley is one
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: of the hardest working folks out there and she's fantastic.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: And Yeah, and I say take a real– really listen
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: to what she has to say because she goes way
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: back with Brent. But thank you, Melanie, for calling in.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: I appreciate you, and I hope to see you very soon.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: And she's gone. Okay. So, you know, Dylan doesn't play around.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Hey, that wasn't me this time.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: That wasn't you.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't hit the button.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Well, no, it's been a great show. I'm glad for
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: the opportunity to be able to sit in. It's always
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: an honor and a pleasure, and I appreciate it, Dylan.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Thank you. You were fantastic as always. Thank you. Your
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: voice sounds like, I'm not sure what it sounds like. Death.
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: I've been sick. I'm trying to get over a sickness
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: right now. So, you know, I'm working on it.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: That's right. Well, okay. Well, we hope you feel better.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: I want to thank Brent Taylor for calling in. I
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: want to thank Lisa Arnold, Melanie Mosley. These are all
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: great folks in our community working hard to make things better. Well,
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: until next time, it was a real pleasure and a treat.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Everybody take care. God bless you. Be safe and hopefully.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: We'll be talking together soon, but don't forget to get
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: out there and vote. Do not forget, even if you
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: know your candidate feel like it's going to win, don't
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: take the risk. Get out and vote. Thanks, guys. Have
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: a wonderful day.
