  Speaker 1: Well, live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.

  Speaker 1: It's America's favorite gun, total Bible clinging, deplorable Americans.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: American jud starts well.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, hello everybody. Happy Friday to you America. This
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: is the Todd Sterns Radio Show. We are broadcasting border
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: to border, coast to coast across the fruit Head Plane.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: A lot happening today. President Trump on his way to
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Arizona and he's going to be speaking at a TPUSA
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: event that is at the Dream Center Church coming up
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: a little bit later on. We're going to be broadcasting
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: that live on a newsback, so we'll if you want
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: to watch it, you can just tune in and hang
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: out with us. By the way, it is open line Friday.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Our telephone number nine oh one two six zero five
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: nine two six. Again that telephone number nine oh one
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: two six zero five nine to six. So a lot,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: a lot of just weird things happening in the news.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: And I know there's there's a lot of outrage around
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: the nation right now at President Trump and the Pope
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: and all of that and all of that nonsense. So
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: just a couple of things. Uh, if you are a
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: longtime listener of this radio program, you know that in
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: many of these cases we are ahead of the curve.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: So we're going to be talking about issues that you
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: may not have heard about in the media, but you
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: will hear about it in the days after, you know,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: we first talk about the issue, And in particular with
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: the Pope, we were out there from day one, and
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I tried to explain to everybody as best I could
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: that Pope Leo was, in fact woke. We call him
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Pope Leo the Woke. This is not a slam against
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: the Catholic faith. As a matter of fact, we have
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: been incredibly supportive of rank and file Catholics, and as
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: I said earlier in the week that rank and file
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Catholics are far more conservative than their leadership at the
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Vatican and I and if you agree or disagree, you
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: can agree or disagree on the radio, you can pick
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: up the phone and give me a call. But the
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: reality is nobody was talking about that, and I was
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: being called all sorts of, you know, anti Catholic names.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: I'm the anti Christ, the whole nine yards, all sorts
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: of names this week. And that's fine. I'm perfectly okay
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: with that. But the reality is now. And I tried
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: to explain that, you know, when eleven million dollars was
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: going to Catholic charities and Trump, all of the things
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: that Trump was saying about the Pope were a thousand
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: percent accurate. And the President has a pretty good read
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: on everybody in loting popely o the woke. So with
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: the President's going out there and he's eliminating the eleven
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: million dollars in funding to the Catholic charities of Miami,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: you know, a lot of people got but heard about that.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Oh my word, he's gonna start the childrend the children,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: the illegal alien children are going to be on the
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: streets of Miami. They're going to have no food. No,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: that's simply not true. Now, again, as the President rightly
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: pointed out, this was eleven million dollars of your tax money.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: And I just want to ask you, ladies and gentlemen,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: all of you Lutherans out there, did you sign up
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: for that? Do you mind that your tax money is
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: going to support the Catholic Church? Are you okay with that?
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: I can tell you, as a Baptist, I'm not okay
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: with that, And I would also if I were a
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Catholic and Trump was given money to the Baptist I
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: would have a problem with that. But it wasn't just
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: eleven million dollars. It was one point two billion dollars
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: at the very least. That's what we've been giving the
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Catholic trick. And by we, I mean the hardworking taxpayers
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: of America. And it's just simply not right. And again,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: if a church wants to engage in charity, which I
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: believe they should and I believe we all should, well
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: that's up to the individual, and that is up to
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: the church. That is not up the federal government has
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: no right to take our tax money and give it
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: to any religious organization, period. They just simply do not
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: have that right. So anyway, I'm talking about all this
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: stuff on Monday and Tuesday whenever it was coming out,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: and of course everybody's attacking us. But now everybody finally
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: has done their homework. They've looked up all the information
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: we've shared on this program, and they have come to
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: the conclusion that it turns out Todd Starns was right
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: after all. Even Sean Handity last night going out on
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: a Fox News and saying, you know what President Trump
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: was right about the pope after all, and we're happy
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: to provide that service to our fellow conservatives in the
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: media sphere. But we're always if you listen to this program,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: you are going to be a few days ahead of
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: the news curve now that everybody is catching up on
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: all of this. But the reality is you've got a
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: lot of really woke individuals within that Catholic church. And
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: we've been talking about that for a long time because
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: the Southern Baptists have the same problem, the two largest
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: religious groups in the country, and they have been infested
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: with liberalism and as a result of that, they've become
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: marginalized in the culture. But now there's a lot of pushback,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: and interestingly enough, the pushback is predominantly coming from young
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: generation ze Catholics who are flooding back into the churches.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: And these young people, these seventeen, eighteen, nineteen year old kids,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: are actually far more conservative than their moms and dads
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: and even their grandparents. I mean, this is it's really
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: remarkable when when you look at at where where the
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: culture is going, especially with these young kids, and it
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: does appear that at least within the Catholic world, the
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: younger kids I would say, are radically more conservative than
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: the folks that are that are running the Vatican. That
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: would be Pope Leo the Woke and his merry band
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: of cardinals. Well, no, it's not a I'm not mocking them.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying that's that's who he is, Pope Leo
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: the Woke. What do you want me to? What do
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: you want me to do? So anyway, there's there's new
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: polling data out there saying that you know what, uh,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: this is true that Generation Z is far more conservative
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: than the other the other generations. Where is that audio?
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: I'm looking for it here? Oh, here we go, cut
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: number fifty one.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Please sting down their phones and picking up a bible.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: A new poll showing a growing number of young men
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: ages eighteen to twenty nine are embracing faith. Forty two
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: percent say religion is very important in their lives. That
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: is a fourteen percent increase from just the previous year.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: And I saw it firsthand while visiting Saint Joe's Church
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: here in New York City.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Wow, Saint Jose Catholic Church. Are you guys noticing that
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: trend in your local congregations, in your local Catholic parishes
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: are you noticing an increase in the number of young
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: people that are that are coming back to church? If so,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: I would love to hear from you. I don't believe
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: it's an anomaly. I believe this is truly happening all
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: across the country. Nine oh one two six zero five
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: nine two six is are a telephone number. That's nine
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six. At
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: the same time, Dylan, there is an interesting report out
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: and it's scared me. You know what I'm about to
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: talk about as much as gen Z is embracing Jesus Man,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: they got some freaky stuff going down. So there's a
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: guid by the name he goes by Clovicular, right, and
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: so he's a young kid.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's in his twenties.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: He's in his twenties, and he's all about it's called
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: look looks maxing. Yes, So that's basically you want to
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: be well groomed. I mean that's basically what it used
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: to be, right, you wanted to be well groomed.
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's it's more about your physical attributes, not
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: even like what you're wearing. It's literally about your face
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: and your body, like trying to look the best version
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: of yourself.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: And a lot of these people and we, by the way,
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: a couple of the guys that we have on our
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Newsmax TV show on a regular basis are into this
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: whole looks maxing thing. And we're gonna have them all
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: next week to find out that they're doing what we're
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: about to tell you they're doing. And again, these are
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: conserv These are super conservative guys, right, so these are
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: not like the Hollywood wacken noodles. These are super conservative guys.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: They're very deeply religious, and they're all about like traditional
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: versions of manhood and part of that is like looking good.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: And this is insane, but there is a report out
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: and doctors are very concerned about this. And listen up,
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: moms and dads and grandma's and grandpa's, because your sons
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: and grandsons could be doing this. It's a they're using
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: hammers and they're smashing their faces to make them look better.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: I kid you not take a listen.
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: It's a disturbing new trend. Guys hitting themselves deliberately on
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: the face with hammers and other objects. Why they think
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: it will give them a more chiseled, handsome look. But
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: as Jim Array reports doctors are sounding the alarm.
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: It's a bizarre trend that's hard to believe. These young
• 9:56
  Speaker 8: men are hitting themselves in the face with hammers even
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: saw get this. They think it will improve their looks.
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: It's called looks maxing and it's being promoted on social
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: media by twenty year old Braden Peters, a controversial influencer
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: who calls himself clavicular and has eight hundred thousand followers.
• 10:15
  Speaker 9: You gotta hit the chin hired.
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: He spoke his off the wall message on sixty Minutes Australia.
• 10:20
  Speaker 10: When you break down a bone, it grows back stronger,
• 10:23
  Speaker 10: So you're intentionally creating these traumas, typically on your cheekbones,
• 10:29
  Speaker 10: your chin.
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: But he walked out of that interview moments after he
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: was asked about links between looks maxing and in cells
• 10:36
  Speaker 8: guys who hate women?
• 10:38
  Speaker 9: How do you feel about being linked to that cred
• 10:40
  Speaker 9: Thanks for the time, appreciate the interview.
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: I spoke with Beverly Hills plastic surgeon doctor Michael Z Robbie.
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: What do you make of this trend of looks maxing
• 10:49
  Speaker 8: and taking a hammer to your own face?
• 10:51
  Speaker 11: You can damage muscles and cause permanent muscle injury. You
• 10:54
  Speaker 11: can even damage nerves that can result in facial weakness
• 10:58
  Speaker 11: or even areas of numbness. And in extreme examples, you
• 11:01
  Speaker 11: can even damage the brain and cause, for example, a concussion.
• 11:05
  Speaker 11: So it's absolutely not the right thing to do.
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: Listen to what this plast six surgeon says happened to
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: one guy who tried looks maxing.
• 11:13
  Speaker 12: PtII to the hammer, hammered it to the face, broke
• 11:16
  Speaker 12: the bone, and the bone on the bottom of the
• 11:18
  Speaker 12: eyeball flipped too and pop the eye and you went blind.
• 11:22
  Speaker 9: Oh my gosh.
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: Then Coller's life took a dark turn earlier this week
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: when he appeared to suffer an overdose in a Miami
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: nightclub during a live.
• 11:30
  Speaker 9: Stream year old man overdose.
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: He was carried out and taken to the hospital. This morning,
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: he posted, just got home.
• 11:39
  Speaker 11: That was brutal and you should not be following someone
• 11:43
  Speaker 11: like clivicular and getting medical and health advice.
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: Mental health experts worry this trend will lead to more
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: cases of body dysmorphia among young men, which is already
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: a growing problem.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: I really don't know what to say about this. So
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: they're smashing, they're smashing their faces with hammers, Dylan, have
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: you heard of this?
• 12:07
  Speaker 13: Oh?
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, this is uh, this has been trending more and more.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: I keep seeing this guy on my tiktoks every single
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: day now at this point, he just keeps popping up
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: because he's doing he's doing like big interviews with people,
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: but he's being a jerk and he's like not really
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: answering the questions. He just wants to talk about how
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: to make your face look better, But unfortunately you have
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: to hit your face with a hammer if you want
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: to do that.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: I saw the video. It shows them like even hitting
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: their their cheekbones. Yeah, which which has to be incredibly painful.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it so.
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: They they pretty late. They laid it up pretty well.
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's a it's a mental thing. It's gonna
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: give you some problems. You're gonna try to look your best,
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: but you're gonna hurt yourself mentally and physically.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: I'm wondering where we're sort of in the prime Bodle
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Ooh's phase of this weird trend. But I am wondering
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: is it coming from this one guy, this clovicular. This
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: guy's in his twenties and he what he just overdosed
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: on live on live video.
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's this is the main guy that's been doing it.
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: Other people have now started to become influencers in this.
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: They will do this solely on their live streams. And
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: he's on so much medication he's on, Like I don't
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: even know how much medication he's on, but I've heard
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: him talk about it. It's not good for your body overall,
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: like even as like heart health, all those different types
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: of things. So his sole focus is just to look
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: better for to get women. And I don't know, but
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: he doesn't like being he doesn't like being a referenced
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: to the in suburbs.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's crazy. So it's I mean, and it's a hammer,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: not plyers or you know screwdrivers that had a hammer.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah wow, okay, uh that's weird. But again, why are
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: they Why would you do that? That's what gets I
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: don't understand that. And the eyeball pop it out. Yeah,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: oh jeez, no, I don't think. So I'm happy. I'm
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: happy with the way God made me. Jesus Loo. So
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: you do wonder now like hardware stores, are sales of
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: hammers going up?
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: They got to be, they got they're probably sold out worldwide.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Wow, this is you know, I guess mc hammer was right.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: It's Hammer time, all right, good news for the U
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: those of you very concerned about what's been happening in Iran.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: We understand now the trade the Strait of Hormuz, the
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: President announced today, is completely open. The US blockade on
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Iranian ports continues, and the President says they're now ready
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: for business and full passage. The President also now and
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: so now NATO comes along. He says, oh, hello, why
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: do we be off assistants? And the President told them
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: to take a flying flip. The President said NATO has
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: been useless. He says, now that the Strait of Hormuz
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: situation is over, he actually got a call from NATO
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: asking if we could use some help, and the President said,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: I told him to stay away unless they just want
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: to load up their ships with oil. They were useless
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: when needed a paper tiger. And I completely agree with
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: the President here. So the way it's looking, and by
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: the way, we also got word Israel is now engaged
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: in a ceasefire with Lebanon. There will be no more bombing,
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: and it certainly appears that the war is coming to
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: a conclusion. The President by the way, giving praise not
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: to NATO, but to Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: and Cutter. The President says that Pakistan played a key
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: role in peace negotiations between the US and Iran, and
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: the President also says that Iran agreed to never close
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: the Strait of Hormuz again. The President says it will
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: no longer be used as a weapon against the world.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: And the President says Friday is turning out to be
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: a great and brilliant day for the world. So there
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: you go. Oh, by the way, Iran is also removing
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: all of their sea minds. You know, they mined the
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Strait of Hormues. Iran is now has agreed to remove
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: all the sea minds, and the US is lending a
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: helping hand.
• 16:45
  Speaker 14: There.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: I love to hear that. The President also said no
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: money is going to exchange hands in any way, shape
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: or form. Talking about the aftermath of the US strikes
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: on Iranian nuclear facilities, that was going all the way
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: back to last year Operation Midnight Hammer, and now guess
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: what's happening. Oil prices are plunging after Iran said the
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: straight up war moves is open for commercial shipping traffic.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: So it appears at this juncture, all's well, that ends well,
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: and ladies and gentlemen, I would not be terribly surprised
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: if we see US troops maybe possibly coming back home.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: So if if the war is done here and no,
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: don't don't ask me that question. I'm trying to be
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: positive here. So if if this, it looks like everything
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: is ramping up. I'm not sure what the endgame here was,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: but it looks like we were at the endgame. So
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: are you guys good with that?
• 17:51
  Speaker 15: Now?
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Perhaps we can focus on the midterm elections and continued
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: deportations and getting back to the domestic policy agenda that
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: has made this president so wonderfully successful. So we'll be
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: taking your calls on mat open line Friday, our telephone
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: number nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: six coming up. We're taking you to the National Rifle Association,
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: a live report boots on the ground. Matt Velasquez from
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Patriot Talk nine to twenty will join us. Also, Joe
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Messina is here and Elaine Beck, the owner of Proverbs
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Media Group. That's going to be a great conversation. Stick
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: around for this Friday edition of the Ton Sterns Show.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome back everybody. This is the Ton Stearns
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Radio Show. Great to have you with us today. So
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: again another situation of this time in New Jersey. There
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: was a special election and it turns out out that
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: Republican voters just decided to stay home and the Republicans
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: got crushed in this special election by nearly twenty points.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Take a list in to C fifty three.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: We resist.
• 19:14
  Speaker 16: We will not allow it to continue.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: This system is broken.
• 19:19
  Speaker 17: But guess what we are?
• 19:20
  Speaker 18: The Blue So she's looking for the attention and she's
• 19:24
  Speaker 18: got it now.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Brian Yennis has the fallout today.
• 19:26
  Speaker 9: Brian, Hello, Bill, good morning.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 19:28
  Speaker 17: NJ eleven is a blue district and progressive activist and
• 19:31
  Speaker 17: a Lilia Mahea defeated Republican Joe Hathaway last night by
• 19:35
  Speaker 17: nearly twenty points. Now, this is the seventh special election
• 19:39
  Speaker 17: since President Trump took office nationwide, and Democrats have done
• 19:44
  Speaker 17: better than their twenty twenty four presidential results in each
• 19:47
  Speaker 17: of those seven races. It is notable, though, that NJ
• 19:50
  Speaker 17: eleven featured the most progressive Democrat and saw the smallest
• 19:55
  Speaker 17: shift toward Democrats than any other special election. Now the
• 20:00
  Speaker 17: AOC Bernie Sanders back to Mehea wants to abolish ice,
• 20:03
  Speaker 17: universal health care and childcare, and she wants to use
• 20:07
  Speaker 17: taxpayer funds to cancel all student loan debt. Now, last
• 20:10
  Speaker 17: night she made the case. Her win proves she is
• 20:13
  Speaker 17: not a radical.
• 20:14
  Speaker 19: It is not radical to say that a worker whose
• 20:18
  Speaker 19: toils every day cannot make pens meet, that they deserve justice,
• 20:23
  Speaker 19: that they deserve higher wages. That is not radical.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: That is good conscience. That is a good economy.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: All right, there you go. The turnout, by the way,
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: this is coming from the New Jersey Globe. The turnout
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Democrats had a significant at sixty two point one percent
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: compared to twenty four point three percent from Republicans. So,
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: for whatever reason, and I am curious to hear from
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: you on this, because election after election after election after
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: election that we have had since Donald Trump won the presidency,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Republicans have been showing up to vote. And I'm just
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: curious to find out why why is it that Republicans
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: are not going to the polls, but Democrats are turning
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: out in masks nine oh one two six zero five
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: to nine two six is our telephone number. That's nine
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five to nine to six. Well,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: yesterday we had some interesting guests on the Todd Stearns
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Show on Newsmax. There is a situation over in southern California,
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: in San Diego. There is a there's a gay bar
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: down there, and they were having the big Republican California
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Republican Convention and the log Canbin Republicans had rented a
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: room to have a luncheon, and so people showed up
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: and a couple of guys wearing maga hats were ordered
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: to leave the premises. And then the owner of the
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: bar told the Republicans they all had to leave because
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: they were triggering to the rest of the patrons. So
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: we had one of the individuals who is a leader
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: of the group, Paul Ramirez, along with Amy Reikert, who
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: is an investigative journalist from down in those parts. And
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: I want you to hear their conversation. All right, Paul,
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: take us, take us through the story. What happened here.
• 22:22
  Speaker 20: Well, it's some of the first time it's happened. And
• 22:24
  Speaker 20: thank you again so much for having me on Todd.
• 22:27
  Speaker 20: You know, gay inc what we call, you know, groups
• 22:30
  Speaker 20: and geo's like NRC or others who will have created
• 22:35
  Speaker 20: a successful narrative of painting Trump as the bad guy
• 22:38
  Speaker 20: and we all.
• 22:39
  Speaker 21: Know he isn't.
• 22:41
  Speaker 20: Lock Cabin Republicans happened to be in San Diego for
• 22:43
  Speaker 20: the GOP State Convention. The San Dieg chapter of Lock
• 22:47
  Speaker 20: Cabins invited us to a reception at Urban mos and
• 22:52
  Speaker 20: apparently they've held multiple receptions there in the past and events.
• 22:56
  Speaker 20: But our mega hats, my husband and I both warned them,
• 22:59
  Speaker 20: which you much for them, So they asked us to
• 23:01
  Speaker 20: move to a upstairs area away from the population of
• 23:06
  Speaker 20: the bar, and then when I put my hat back
• 23:08
  Speaker 20: on to do a video, they kicked us all out,
• 23:11
  Speaker 20: but not before we got assaulted with food and abera
• 23:15
  Speaker 20: got thrown on my husband. When we asked the bar
• 23:17
  Speaker 20: manager why that happened, he said, you deserved it because
• 23:22
  Speaker 20: you voted for a piece of you can only imagine.
• 23:25
  Speaker 21: So we are exitted out amy.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: This is just insane and God bless you because you
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: actually brought it to the nation's attention, your story going
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: viral on social media. Were you surprised to hear how
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: these gay Republicans were treated in a place that's supposed
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: to be tolerant, not at all.
• 23:44
  Speaker 19: I'm a Republican in California, and this is exactly the
• 23:49
  Speaker 19: kind of way that we are treated by the woke.
• 23:52
  Speaker 19: They are tolerant and inclusive for themselves, and they are
• 23:56
  Speaker 19: completely intolerant and exclude. So when it comes to people
• 24:01
  Speaker 19: like us who have a different political opinion and voted
• 24:04
  Speaker 19: for Donald Trump, you.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Know, again, Paul, when you see what happened here with
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: you and the log Cabin Republicans, what does that really
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: tell you about about the divide in this country? And
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: especially when it comes to gay Republicans, who are you
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: guys are getting it from everybody?
• 24:20
  Speaker 20: Well, I can't tell you how many gay Republicans. Republicans
• 24:23
  Speaker 20: have come to me and thanked me for whereon Maggie
• 24:26
  Speaker 20: had my politics because they're afraid to come out. They
• 24:29
  Speaker 20: say it's harder to come out as a gay Republican
• 24:32
  Speaker 20: than it was originally to come out gay. Now, as
• 24:34
  Speaker 20: I've said before in other interviews, a sandwich or beer
• 24:37
  Speaker 20: isn't lethal. But what's next? And we all saw what
• 24:40
  Speaker 20: happened to Donald Trump twice and with Chilie Kirk. So
• 24:45
  Speaker 20: this left wing ideology creates a very dangerous narrative, and
• 24:50
  Speaker 20: it makes what Urban most called a safe space a
• 24:53
  Speaker 20: very dangerous spot for conservatives.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: You know, it's a great point. You raised an amy
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: again not too long ago. I think last month, Governor
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked to leave a restaurant in
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: the Little Rocky area, again simply because she is a Republican.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: If it had been a Democrat or maybe a minority group,
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: this would be wall to wall national news coverage. But
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: apparently it's open season on gay Republicans.
• 25:20
  Speaker 19: We Republicans believe in the Constitution, the first, the second,
• 25:24
  Speaker 19: the third, all the amendments. It's the Democrats who don't
• 25:27
  Speaker 19: believe in the Constitution and the freedom to be who
• 25:30
  Speaker 19: you are in this country. And so it just really
• 25:33
  Speaker 19: shows you when Sarah Huckabee can't even dine in a
• 25:37
  Speaker 19: restaurant and Paul Magadaddy gets a sandwich thrown at him,
• 25:42
  Speaker 19: it just shows you where the Democrats are right now.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Paul, I'm curious about President Trump, you know, yeah, go
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: right ahead, go ahead.
• 25:49
  Speaker 9: I wanted to say one thing.
• 25:51
  Speaker 20: I've been to Urban most many times and they've always
• 25:53
  Speaker 20: treated us well. I've always gone in with a maga
• 25:55
  Speaker 20: hat and never had an issue. So I really don't
• 25:58
  Speaker 20: want to label the whole bar, as you know, fran
• 26:01
  Speaker 20: It negatively because it impacts a lot of individuals who
• 26:04
  Speaker 20: work there, the owners, et cetera. I'm hoping they will
• 26:06
  Speaker 20: reach out to us with a statement. But I'm not
• 26:09
  Speaker 20: a cancel culture person. I'm not a boycott person, and
• 26:13
  Speaker 20: the sins of one person should not affect that entire
• 26:16
  Speaker 20: community of employees there.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fair enough, but you shouldn't have to dodge
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: a pistromio on Ryby and thrown add to either Paul.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: So hopefully they will, they will get in touch with him.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: I want to go back to I want to go
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: back to my question about President Trump.
• 26:29
  Speaker 13: Here.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: He catches a lot of hell from just about everybody,
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: but the reality is he's probably the most pro gay
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: president we have had.
• 26:37
  Speaker 9: He certainly is.
• 26:39
  Speaker 20: And I will tell you coming out of the California
• 26:41
  Speaker 20: State Convention, the Republican Party treated log Cabin, myself included,
• 26:46
  Speaker 20: everyone with such great respect. Chat Bianco came to our party,
• 26:50
  Speaker 20: Steve Hilton came to our reception. Just narrative that Republicans
• 26:55
  Speaker 20: hate Kays is completely false. They've treated us with the
• 26:58
  Speaker 20: utmost respect and dignity.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you something. You know, when it comes
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: to Democrats, if you are a black person, if you
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: are Hispanic, or if you are gay, and you abandon
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: the Democrat Party plantation, they will destroy you. I've never
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: seen anything like it. But that's that's how things operate
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: in the Democrat Party these days. And I appreciate the
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: fact that President Trump put together this this big tenth party.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: So there you go. All right, guys, we've got to
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: take a break here. Nine oh one two six zero
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: five nine two six is our telephone number. That's nine
• 27:39

• 28:41
  Speaker 3: All right, Welcome back everybody. This is the Todd Stearns
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Radio Show. You know it's interesting. I was, I was.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: I got a message last night, I says Starnes. Have
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: you heard about Sesame Street? You know, I haven't watched
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Sesame Street in a long time, like I don't know,
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: fifty six fifty seven years. It's been a long time.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: But I read out again we get these notes about
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: how woke Sesame Street has got. Dylan, I mean, you're
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: closer to that age. I still watched Sesame Street, Dick thought.
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: I recently found out I was ten years older than
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: intern Ian, so I'm actually not even closed.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Wow, you're old.
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: I think it was probably twenty or so years ago
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: that I've seen Sesame Street.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: So so, anyway, but back in the day, did you
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: I mean there weren't There really wasn't politics, and if
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: there was, you know, you couldn't figure it out.
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: Now it was like a fun kids show keeps you engaged.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: So what I mean you learned your what ABC's yea,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: and you learned how.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: To count and big birds sometimes.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and play nights with people. So you had conflict resolution, yes,
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: And then you had the homeless guy in the garbage can.
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Oscar, I think. And then cookie Monster is my favorite.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: I hadn't cookie. I woke cookies. I love cookies. Anyway,
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: things have changed a little bit on Sesame Street. And
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: of course now you know, they've embraced the whole I know,
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: of the LGBT stuff, and they got the rainbow flags
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: and all of that. You know, there used to be
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: a show. Anybody remember this, the rainbow connection that that
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: means something completely different now than it did back when
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: I was growing up. Of course that was in the
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: era of the AIDS candy too, so you know, things change.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: So anyway, uh, someone sent me this, says star, You're
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: not gonna believe this. Sesame Street is teaching kids how
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: to speak Arabic.
• 30:39
  Speaker 18: Take a listen, sennamonicum, everyone, I'm ramy.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Mister Brami.
• 30:46
  Speaker 9: What is salama?
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Local mean?
• 30:48
  Speaker 10: Well, Salam means peace and it's a way to say
• 30:50
  Speaker 10: hello in Arabic.
• 30:51
  Speaker 11: O Salama, look a little bottle, Elmaen and I are
• 30:55
  Speaker 11: here to wish all of you a happy Arab American
• 30:57

  Speaker 22: Happy Arab American.
• 31:00
  Speaker 20: Why your month.

  Speaker 10: I'm so proud of my Arab heritage and I'm so
• 31:03
  Speaker 10: happy to share this month with my fellow Arabs and
• 31:05
  Speaker 10: alma so thanks Habib.
• 31:08
  Speaker 21: Wait a minute, that's habby.
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: Oh it's an Arabic word for a special friend.
• 31:15
  Speaker 20: Happy Arab American Heritage Month, Happy, we love you.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: I want to see the scene where somebody ons Sesame
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Street yells a la akbar and elbow tears. All you
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying.
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: Dylan, No, no, no, that's not.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Oscar the grad test and I e t all right, kids,
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: let's practice.
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: Sesame Street is gone.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Run away, run away, Sesame Street is gone. This is terrible, terrible,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: But again, why aren't we teaching the kids how to
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: speak English? It it's bad enough they don't know their
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: pronouns anymore, but why why Arabic? Why are we teaching
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: the children how does speak Arabic? All right, let's go
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: to the phone line here on this open line Friday
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: don in Texas listening to us on Patriot Talk nine twenty. Hi,
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Don's what's on your mind today?
• 32:15
  Speaker 14: Well, you ask a question about the Republicans, and I
• 32:19
  Speaker 14: think this is just a personal opinion. I think that
• 32:24
  Speaker 14: they are failing to come out to vote because, just
• 32:28
  Speaker 14: like me, we're very disgusted in the results that we're
• 32:34
  Speaker 14: getting from our report and party. They're not standing up
• 32:38
  Speaker 14: and doing the things that we've voted them in for.
• 32:42
  Speaker 14: They're not persecuting or prosecuting anybody they get they have
• 32:48
  Speaker 14: finished hearing, nothing happens. You can commit perjury, nothing happens.
• 32:54
  Speaker 14: You can last to you cheeks, nothing happens. Somebody says, oh,
• 32:58
  Speaker 14: well they did they did that. But in the at
• 33:02
  Speaker 14: the end, nobody goes to jail, nobody even gets given
• 33:07
  Speaker 14: a suspended sentence. They don't know anything. They just talk.
• 33:12
  Speaker 14: And I'm getting sick and tired of it. I am
• 33:15
  Speaker 14: tired of the Republican Party not doing what they were
• 33:19
  Speaker 14: voted in to do. If we're going to try and
• 33:22
  Speaker 14: change the United States and make it America great again,
• 33:27
  Speaker 14: somebody's got to pay a penalty for the crimes they've committed,
• 33:32
  Speaker 14: and nobody does it. And I'm disgusted. I don't know
• 33:36
  Speaker 14: about the rest of the people, but I've given up
• 33:39
  Speaker 14: or just about giving up on the Republican Party. I'm
• 33:42
  Speaker 14: still not going to vote for the Democrats because that's
• 33:46
  Speaker 14: the lesser of two evil. But I don't want to
• 33:49
  Speaker 14: vote for evil, period, whether it's the lesser or the greater,
• 33:54
  Speaker 14: I don't.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: Get Yeah, look, I understand exactly exactly what you are
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: are saying here, Don and it's Look, it's a fair
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: criticism of the Republicans. They just haven't really done a
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: lot and we really expect I think this go around,
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: we really expected for the Republicans to do something, and
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: especially I do believe that younger generation voters are getting
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: disenfranchised very quickly and demoralized, and that's one of the
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: reasons why we saw such a small turnout at the
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: JD Vans event. And I know they're making all sorts
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: of excuses, but at the end of the day, I
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: just think that the Republicans and their lack of action
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: here it. I think it's really going to have problems
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: and we're going to have blowback in the midterms.
• 34:45
  Speaker 14: I'm with you.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: I hope that's not the case. And even if we do,
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: though I still think we're going to be able to win.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: There's so much polling data out there, and and again,
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: it sort of goes with the wind. You know which
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: way the wind is blowing. So but but you can
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: still feel it and I see it here. I'll give
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: you an example. Memphis, Tennessee. We had early voting start
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: this week, Don three thousand over, about three thousand Democrats
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: came out, about six hundred Republicans came out. So it
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: tells you there is an enthusiasm gap, no doubt about that.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: The question is will the enthusiasm gap hurt us in
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: the midterm elections.
• 35:24
  Speaker 14: Well, if something doesn't change it, will they don't get
• 35:28
  Speaker 14: off Carerians and start doing something rather than giving us
• 35:33
  Speaker 14: a bunch of verbal crap, then that's what's going to happen.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Don, you are a wise man, and I hope
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: that the Republicans listen to you. By the way, Don
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: to your point real quick in your neck of the woods.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: When you look at the amount of fundraising dollars in
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: the Senate campaign, that Tallerico guy is cleaning the Republicans clocks.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: That's insane.
• 36:00
  Speaker 14: Know, well, you know, if you've got momentum and believe me,
• 36:07
  Speaker 14: the dimofest have got momentum because of the lack of
• 36:10
  Speaker 14: enthusiasm from our Republican people. And the reason we have
• 36:14
  Speaker 14: no enthusiasm is because we came out, we voted, we
• 36:19
  Speaker 14: turned out, We got people in there that we thought
• 36:22
  Speaker 14: would do something and nothing.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: Half twenty seven million dollars and don thank you for
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: calling in twenty seven million dollars. That's Tallerico has outraised
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: both of his his Republican opponents combined John Cornyn and
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: Ken Paxton twenty seven million dollars. Ken Paxton one point
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: nine million dollars and Cornyn's group just about ten million dollars.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: So there you go. That's that's jaw dropping, all right.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine. This
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: is the Todd Starns Show.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: common sense conservative commentary from Todd.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Start Satis.
• 37:32
  Speaker 21: Samaritan.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: Well, Hello, everybody, welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Show.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: So happy to have you with us today. By the way,
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: our telephone number nine oh one two six zero five
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: five to nine two six. Today is open line Friday.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: Whatever you want to talk about, well, we're gonna let
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: you talk about it today. We have some great guests
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: coming up. Joe Messina joins us here in just a
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: little while to give us a rundown of what's been
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: happening in the California gubernatorial race. Also, a number of
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: California cities are now surrendering to the radical tree huggers
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: and they are canceling America to fifty fourth of July celebrations.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: So they're getting rid of the fireworks displays and there
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: will no longer be fireworks in many major cities across
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: California to celebrate our Great Nations two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: By the way, Congressman Jim Jordan was on CNBC yesterday
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: going back and forth with the host over some reporting
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: out there that Democrats could win back the House. Here
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: is that conversation cut fifty two plays.
• 38:52
  Speaker 16: I've seen estimates, I don't know if they're the most
• 38:54
  Speaker 16: official whatever, that Democrats could have could get something like
• 38:59
  Speaker 16: forty high seats in the mid terms later this year.
• 39:02
  Speaker 16: So could you just comment on that? What If that's
• 39:06
  Speaker 16: the case, what's the plan. What do you think their
• 39:08
  Speaker 16: plans are? This is coming into the timeline now that
• 39:12
  Speaker 16: the markets have to think about it.
• 39:13
  Speaker 9: No, I mean, I think we're going to win.
• 39:15
  Speaker 18: I think we're going to win because the left, every
• 39:17
  Speaker 18: position they take is crazy.
• 39:19
  Speaker 15: You know.
• 39:19
  Speaker 18: Obviously I don't know if I said this on your
• 39:20
  Speaker 18: show a few weeks ago, but I was doing some
• 39:22
  Speaker 18: interview and I said, I think this is this election
• 39:25
  Speaker 18: is really going to come down to a couple of sentences.
• 39:26
  Speaker 18: They're crazy, we're not. And you can look at every
• 39:28
  Speaker 18: policy they have. We just talked about sanctuary jurisdiction policy
• 39:31
  Speaker 18: that's crazy, makes no absolutely no sense. This idea that oh,
• 39:35
  Speaker 18: we're going to defund nice makes no sense. We're going
• 39:36
  Speaker 18: to defund the police, that's crazy. We're going to have
• 39:38
  Speaker 18: men compete against women in sports, that's crazy. We're going
• 39:40
  Speaker 18: to shut down the government for forty two days in
• 39:42
  Speaker 18: the fall, fifty some days here in the spring. All
• 39:45
  Speaker 18: those things are crazy. So I do think we have
• 39:46
  Speaker 18: to remind the voters that the left is crazy, and
• 39:49
  Speaker 18: I think we can win this midterm election and sort
• 39:51
  Speaker 18: of defy the trend that's that's been there when when
• 39:54
  Speaker 18: it comes to the midterm elections. And then also to
• 39:57
  Speaker 18: remind the voters that we did what we did, what
• 39:59
  Speaker 18: we said we cut taxes and secured the border and
• 40:01
  Speaker 18: everything else.
• 40:02
  Speaker 16: There's people who would use the slogan I think right
• 40:04
  Speaker 16: back against you and say all this stuff is that
• 40:08
  Speaker 16: what they're doing is crazy. And so I don't know
• 40:10
  Speaker 16: if that plays to people who just feel like, look
• 40:12
  Speaker 16: what we've pointed this out taxes. Saying that Tom Steyer
• 40:15
  Speaker 16: is running for governor of California is not when where
• 40:18
  Speaker 16: he's shying away or following the playbook of moving back
• 40:22
  Speaker 16: to the quote unquote.
• 40:23
  Speaker 9: Middle at all.
• 40:23
  Speaker 16: And maybe that's just California, but there's been certain elections
• 40:27
  Speaker 16: and districts that tells you the electorate is in the
• 40:29
  Speaker 16: mood to hear something with whether it's Mom, Donnie or
• 40:31
  Speaker 16: stire that's not necessarily coming back to the middle. So
• 40:35
  Speaker 16: I just wonder what policy moves we could potentially be
• 40:38
  Speaker 16: bracing for.
• 40:39
  Speaker 18: Well, I think we remind the voters of what I said,
• 40:42
  Speaker 18: we did what we were told them we were going
• 40:43
  Speaker 18: to do. We cut their taxes, let them keep more
• 40:45
  Speaker 18: of their money for you know, go after their goals
• 40:47
  Speaker 18: and dreams. We secured the border like we said we
• 40:49
  Speaker 18: were going to do. We were stopping our ran from
• 40:51
  Speaker 18: getting nuclear weapons. The President was clear about that in
• 40:53
  Speaker 18: the campaign. I think we remind them of all that.
• 40:55
  Speaker 18: And then, frankly, I think this other than Joe just
• 40:57
  Speaker 18: mentioned this, this whole fraud that's going on of what
• 41:00
  Speaker 18: we uncovered in Minnesota and now the same thing is
• 41:05
  Speaker 18: happening in California. I think that's an important issue and
• 41:07
  Speaker 18: we have to talk about that as well, and how
• 41:09
  Speaker 18: we're dealing with that and protecting taxpayer dollars.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: All Right, there you go. You heard Jim Jordan making
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: the case and he says that the American people know
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: at the end of the day that the Republicans have
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: lived up to their campaign promises. Is that true? You
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: just heard Don call in from Texas and saying it's
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: not true that the Republicans have failed miserably on a
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: lot of things. And the argument is, and by the way,
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: the Republicans did this the last time and they got
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: their butts handed to them, So I'm advising them not
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: to do this. But they're coming out there and saying, well,
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: we really need another two more years to get everything accomplished,
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: and we need more Republicans on Capitol Hill. I don't
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: think that dog's going to hunt now. I want to
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: go back before we go to the phone lines here.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: I want to share this information out of Texas and
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: I am personally shocked by these numbers here. But according
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: to the latest campaign data, the fundraising edge in Texas
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: right now is going to the Democrats. Senator John Cornyn
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: holds a big fundraising edge over Ken Paxton, but both
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Republicans fell far short of the campaign cash amassed this
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: year by James Tallerico. This is in a New York
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: Time story by Lauren mcgaughey since the primary election, and
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: all of this, by the way, all of this data
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: is verified through the Federal Election Commission data, which was
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: all filed on Wednesday of this week, so this is
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: fresh material. Since the primary election last month, John Cornyn,
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: the incumbent senator, has raised more than six point five
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: million dollars. Mister Paxton brought in more than one point
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: nine million dollars in that same time frame. During that period,
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: mister tall Rico appears to have done far better. His
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: campaign and his action committee raised more than five point
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: eight million dollars from donors giving at least two hundred dollars.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: Talla Rico's campaign set is total fundraising since the primary
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: has reached more than ten million dollars. The two Republican
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: candidates got just over four hundred thousand dollars in smaller donations.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: So what is that? What does that tell you? Again,
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: it goes back to the momentum, the big mo and
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: right now the Democrats seem to at least the Democrat
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: candidates in some of these states do appear to have momentum.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: The question is will that last? I mean, ultimately at
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: the end of the day. I don't Republican voters are
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: going to have to wake up and go vote sometime.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: And I'm not buying this argument that they're just well,
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: you know, we'll show up when the votes really matter. Well,
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: how'd that work out for you guys in Virginia. So
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: if you do stay home and you you don't vote, well,
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: the Democrats are going to win because they are motivated.
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: They are motivated, and that's why we've got to fix this.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: And I and look, I do think if what Trump
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: is telling us is is accurate and the war is over,
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: then let's get our troops home, and let's completely focus
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: on domestic issues. And I think if we do that,
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: if we focus entirely on domestic issues, I think the
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: President is going to be very pleased with the outcome
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: of the midterm elections. Nine oh one two six zero
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: five nine two six is our telephone number. Let's go
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: to the vote lines. Charles in Georgia. Hey, Charles, what's
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: on your mind?
• 44:51
  Speaker 23: Hey Dodd, You're in a much better mood this week
• 44:54
  Speaker 23: than you were last week.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: Now, now, Charles, we all have our days, we all
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: have our moments.
• 45:04
  Speaker 23: Oh, yes, we do, we do, we do. But hey,
• 45:07
  Speaker 23: I wanted to touch on a couple of things, and
• 45:11
  Speaker 23: there were I didn't get a chance to call in.
• 45:14
  Speaker 23: I think it was Wednesday when you were talking about
• 45:16
  Speaker 23: the Iranian.
• 45:18
  Speaker 13: War, and.
• 45:21
  Speaker 23: I think if people would just pay attention to the
• 45:24
  Speaker 23: details of what Iran was doing and what their capabilities
• 45:30
  Speaker 23: were and what the potentials were. For example, I bet
• 45:35
  Speaker 23: you nobody, hardly anybody knows that Iran has actually set
• 45:40
  Speaker 23: rockets to space and put satellite So you don't hear
• 45:43
  Speaker 23: anything about that. They you know, lied about the long
• 45:48
  Speaker 23: range missiles. They proved, they showed that that they could
• 45:53
  Speaker 23: they could hit Europe, They could very easily would have
• 45:56
  Speaker 23: could have done something for Venezuela. They could do something
• 45:59
  Speaker 23: from a a cargo ship. And they don't have to
• 46:03
  Speaker 23: have technically a nuclear bomb that's going to go off.
• 46:07
  Speaker 23: They can just skeew nuclear material, which in the first
• 46:11
  Speaker 23: negotiations that they had, you know, they disclosed how much
• 46:14
  Speaker 23: material they had. And then in addition to that, you're
• 46:19
  Speaker 23: seeing that who was getting a lot of their energy
• 46:24
  Speaker 23: from Iran is China, and China was helping fed the
• 46:30
  Speaker 23: war with weapons. And so now China that Trump and
• 46:35
  Speaker 23: his five D chests, he might say, is now diverted
• 46:39
  Speaker 23: all sales to the US. Plus, I think, like you
• 46:44
  Speaker 23: were just hitting on, if we can, if they truly
• 46:46
  Speaker 23: can put this war to bed and start focusing on
• 46:51
  Speaker 23: domestic issues, I think people I hope that people will
• 46:57
  Speaker 23: begin to start to show up.
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: And Charles, let me ask you a question. Let me
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: and there are a couple of things I wanted to
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: point and I'll let you finish your thought here, But
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: I want to go back to what you said about
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: Iran having a space program, and they have a very
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: successful space program, and you're right, we don't hear a
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: lot about that, but they have launched a number of
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: military satellites into space. They have been sending rockets up
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: and I believe they actually utilized Russia's rockets, the Sujaz
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: rockets to launch satellites. So that's been going on as
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: late as December of twenty twenty five. But we don't
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: hear a lot about that. And the reason why that
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: is important is because of the ballistic missile technology. And
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: we've talked about this on the show, and I believe
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: we had General John tikert On who retired. He was
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: the base commander at Andrews and at Edwards, and he said,
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: hitting a ballistic missile, it's it is doable, but it's
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: like hitting a bullet with a bullet and is not
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: very successful. So if Iran were to launch something at
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: the United States or Israel, there's a chance that we
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: could not bring down that weapon. And so we again
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: we don't know the kind of intel that President Trump
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: was getting, but whatever it was, it was bad enough
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: for the President to risk everything by going in and
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: taking out the Iranian leadership.
• 48:27
  Speaker 23: Yeah. Absolutely, And my other thought was on getting people
• 48:34
  Speaker 23: to show up to vote. I think the job market
• 48:39
  Speaker 23: is really bad. And you as you know, I've been
• 48:42
  Speaker 23: out for a while now, going on a year and
• 48:45
  Speaker 23: a half, and there's a lot of people within my
• 48:49
  Speaker 23: circle that have been out for a very long time,
• 48:52
  Speaker 23: some people greater than two years. And it's that they're seasoned,
• 48:58
  Speaker 23: you know, well educated, well experienced people that are not
• 49:03
  Speaker 23: finding jobs. They finish up their unemployment and then they
• 49:07
  Speaker 23: they are no longer counted. So you're just thrown off
• 49:10
  Speaker 23: in a basket of of uh, we don't know you
• 49:13
  Speaker 23: exist anymore. And then you you've got on the other
• 49:17
  Speaker 23: end of that is the new graduates. I've met several
• 49:22
  Speaker 23: graduates from North Georgia College up here in Delanaga that
• 49:27
  Speaker 23: have degrees in computer science cybersecurity that they're working at
• 49:31
  Speaker 23: Walmart because they can't find a job. And you know,
• 49:34
  Speaker 23: they're very well educated. And so I think Trump has
• 49:42
  Speaker 23: got to pay attention to that. And then he also
• 49:47
  Speaker 23: has got to quit talking about we need h one
• 49:51
  Speaker 23: d visus. We need to put a hiatus on that.
• 49:53
  Speaker 23: And we also need to he said just the other
• 49:56
  Speaker 23: day that we needed to give graduates green.
• 50:00
  Speaker 21: No, we don't.
• 50:02
  Speaker 23: Those kids that are graduating are taking you know, red
• 50:06
  Speaker 23: blooded Americans jobs that are natural born citizens. They're taking
• 50:10
  Speaker 23: the jobs. And so I think he needs to really
• 50:13
  Speaker 23: focus on that and maybe that'll be the younger people
• 50:18
  Speaker 23: begin to wake up. And for people like myself, I'm
• 50:22
  Speaker 23: big maga. I'll vote for Republicans and hold my nose, but.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: You know, and that's the thing, and people will do that. Look,
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: I did that just a few days ago, and it
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: was so disappointing. You know, most of the seats we
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: didn't even have a Republican running, and it's like, well,
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: once the and I get the I get why Republicans
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: are demoralized right now, I really do. But to your point, Charles,
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: I think the president is going to have to focus
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: on the domestic issues. Going back to Iran, and Charles,
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: thank you for that call. Going back to Iran for
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: just a moment. And it's the communication part of all
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: of this that's the problem. The we are, the way
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: the White House was communicating why we had to do
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: what we did in Iran was not good. And if
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: you asked me right now why were we over there,
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: I can't tell you. I don't know what our end
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: game was. I do not know. And again that goes
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: back to the communication part of it. Do I believe
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: that the president was given intel that truly showed that
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: Iran was a clear and president or absolutely otherwise, I
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: don't think the President would have done what he did.
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: But I think those issues needed to be conveyed because
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: right now the base of the party is skeptical about Iran.
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's just the reality of it. So it's
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: just a matter of really communications. I mean, that's for
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: the White House. That's an easy fix. But we've got
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: to stay focused here on what is it that put
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump in the White House? What is it that
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: put the Republicans in charge of Congress? And it was
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: domestic policy. And you just heard from Charles. He's telling
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: us that things are not good out there on the
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: job market, and we've got to take a long, hard
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: look at that. All right, we got to take a
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: break here. Nine oh one two six zero five, nine

• 53:29
  Speaker 3: There's been an accident on Interstate forty. According to the
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: Tennessee Department of Transportation, a giant truck filled with bees
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: has crashed and the truck has been destroyed, and now
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: there are more than one million bees that are swarming
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: the interstate.
• 53:49
  Speaker 5: That is my worst nightmare of all time.
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: This is shocking. They've completely shut down interstate traffic. The
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: driver of the truck. I'm reading from the Tennessee Department
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: of Transportation here they're telling people don't get out of
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: your cars unless you are wearing full like head to
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: toe b like. I don't know, a bee uniform. What
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: do they call those things?
• 54:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, just those things you're casually carrying around.
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what the head gear astronauts, A b suit.
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: I thought we were gonna have the zombie apocalypse first.
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: This is worse because those things hurt. I mean, with
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: the zombies, one bite and you're dead.
• 54:26
  Speaker 5: That's true, but you're also a zombie now.
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: But the bee thing, it lingers, it does. So they say,
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: unless you are addressed in this outfit, please stay in
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: your vehicle.
• 54:35
  Speaker 13: Oh my gosh.
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: Hashtag sting, hashtag stungue. That's terrible. Oh wow, they so again.
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: They The concern here is they're gonna have to unload
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: the whatever is left on the truck, and they've got
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: to get the bees out of the traffic. Now, I'm
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: not sure how you do that, but here's what the
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: Wandency Department of Transportation is saying, these people clearly have
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: either no idea what they're talking about, or it could
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: be that this is what they really have to do.
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: But they're trying to the drivers of the truck and
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: bee keepers are trying to corral the bees at this time.
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: How do you corral a.
• 55:20
  Speaker 5: Bee bouquet of flowers?
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: Maybe here, be, here, be how do you do that?
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: One million bees? All right, we'll be right pack be safe. Knoxville,
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: Knoxville strong. All right, welcome back to the Ton Strange
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: Radio show. By the way, thousands of people in line
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: and Phoenix, Arizona right now to hear President Trump. He's
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: going to speak until five o'clock Eastern and Phoenix, Arizona.
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: That's really warm over there anyway, great turnout, and there
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: are now there are reports of people, mobs of people
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: that are jumping into the streets. They're riding down the
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: license plates of people that are attending the Trump event.
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: I guess they're going to dock some I do not know.
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: I do not know. I want to go to the
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. Say hello to our good friend.
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: Nationally syndicated radio host Joe Messina out in Santa Clarita, California. Joe,
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: I hope you're doing well today.
• 56:34
  Speaker 13: I have. We've got some beautiful weather going, which is
• 56:37
  Speaker 13: why people want to stay here. I'll can't drive anywhere
• 56:40
  Speaker 13: because it costs too much. But other than that, we're
• 56:41
  Speaker 13: doing fine.
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah. One of the game. You've been sending me these
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: screenshots and I'm like, thank God, I don't live where
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: you live.
• 56:49
  Speaker 13: Six point fifty is the price I saw on the
• 56:52
  Speaker 13: way home this morning at my local gas station.
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: Excuse me, six.
• 56:58
  Speaker 13: No, nine tenths whatever that.
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: Is so a lot of people. Next week, we're gonna
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: have a guy on from the oil industry and he's
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: going to explain why gas prices are not going down quickly.
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: But in California there's another issue. You guys are just
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: what taxed out the wazoo when it comes to gas. Yeah,
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: you know what.
• 57:15
  Speaker 13: They just did a study and it showed that there's
• 57:17
  Speaker 13: actually more taxes on gas per gallon in California than
• 57:21
  Speaker 13: there is profit, you know, going to the oil companies.
• 57:25
  Speaker 13: And on top of that, we have in California the
• 57:28
  Speaker 13: thing called a summer blend, which is a different blend
• 57:31
  Speaker 13: and it usually raises the price of gas between like
• 57:33
  Speaker 13: thirty five and forty two cents a gallon, So we're
• 57:36
  Speaker 13: about to get hit again.
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: Well, this is great. Is this true that they're saying
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: that the average taxes and fees that you guys have
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: to pay per gallon of gas is like a buck
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: twenty to a buck thirty a gallon, So even if
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: it's like three bucks a gallon, well that's four to
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: thirty a gallon.
• 57:52
  Speaker 13: Yeah. I will tell you that I've seen numbers as
• 57:55
  Speaker 13: high as a dollar sixty one. Wow, just a couple
• 57:58
  Speaker 13: of weeks ago.
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: I just I do not understand for the life of
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: me why Republicans in California do not campaign on that
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: one issue alone.
• 58:09
  Speaker 13: You know, I got to tell you they do to
• 58:11
  Speaker 13: a degree. But you know, when Gavin Newson was being
• 58:15
  Speaker 13: recalled and he won big numbers, you know, he beat
• 58:18
  Speaker 13: that recall when they did the exit polls. People are
• 58:22
  Speaker 13: so afraid of Republicans taking power that it doesn't matter
• 58:25
  Speaker 13: what we say anymore. So I'm hoping this whole thing
• 58:28
  Speaker 13: with the governor's race kind of flips that a little bit.
• 58:31
  Speaker 13: And I will tell you that they're still going to
• 58:34
  Speaker 13: vote in a boatload of Democrats. They just they're almost
• 58:38
  Speaker 13: like borg drones. They just keep doing the same thing.
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: Joe, I want to play and we had Chad Bianco
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: on the show yesterday, the Sheriff Riverside County running for governor.
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: Today five o'clock on the Toms Shorn Show, we're going
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: to have Steve Hilton responding to what Bianco had to
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: say yesterday. But I want to play this for you,
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: and again this is Sheriff chand Bianco the Emerson College
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: pull out today. You've got to be feeling pretty good
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: showing Steve Hilton leading the field at seventeen percent, you, Sir,
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: tied with Democrat Tom Steyer in second place with a
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: fourteen percent. What does the path to victory look like
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: for you?
• 59:17
  Speaker 12: The path to victory has been relatively what we've seen
• 59:20
  Speaker 12: for the last year, and it looks very good in
• 59:22
  Speaker 12: our favor. We're very confident that we're going to be successful,
• 59:26
  Speaker 12: not only in June and November, but I think that
• 59:28
  Speaker 12: this information that's come out now, the disaster around Swalwell
• 59:32
  Speaker 12: is actually going to help both of the Republican candidates
• 59:36
  Speaker 12: get to November.
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: You know, President Trump endorsing Steve Hilton earlier last week.
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: What do you make of the President's endorsement there.
• 59:45
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm not sure. It certainly is not something that
• 59:49
  Speaker 12: we're worrying about. It seems to be working in our favor,
• 59:52
  Speaker 12: especially in California. We know that it will more than
• 59:56
  Speaker 12: likely help in my campaign in November, and it it
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 12: could help Steve, particularly now with this poll raising him up.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 21: What internal polling shows.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 12: That this last one is a little bit high for him,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 12: but it could be because of the President's endorsement, So
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 12: hopefully it gets both of us to the November election.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: You know, immigration certainly a top issue for voters across
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: the nation. Overwhelming numbers of Republicans and Democrats they're wanting
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: mass deportation New York Times poll, among others. Now, your
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: opponent accuses you of being pro amnesty and open borders.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: How do you respond to those allegations.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 12: Yeah, my opponent knows that he has absolutely no ability
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 12: to beat me in California, and he has no ability
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 12: to present himself as anyone that can run anything and
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 12: when it comes up against me, as a proven leader,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 12: thirty two years of public service, irrefutable honesty, integrity, and leadership, ability.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 12: He has to attack that. So we really are not
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 12: concerning ourselves with the dishonest campaign that he's pushing out
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 12: here trying to elevate himself. We're just going to keep
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 12: running for Californians. We know we're in the lead in
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 12: this race and it's going to be We're going to
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 12: have good success in June and November and.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: Sheriff, you're also taking a little fire over an image
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: and you've seen it taking a knee with many others
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: during the Black Lives Matter protests, and I wanted to
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: give you a chance to explain to the voters of
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: California what were you doing there?
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 12: Yeah, you have to realize context is everything.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 9: We prayed.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 12: They asked us to pray for the safety of our
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 12: deputies right after I told them we were going to
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 12: forcibly remove them. They knew it was going to be violent.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 12: They we had already told them how it was going
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 12: to end, and when we gave that order to disperse
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 12: those organizers thanked us for the professionalism throughout the day.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 21: They knew it was going to be ugly.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 12: They asked if they could pray for the safety of
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 12: our deputies. We prayed, and twenty minutes later, I physically
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 12: removed them from Riverside County.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 9: They've never come back.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 12: The twelve hundred deputies there know exactly what happened. Law
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 12: enforcement knows happened. We're not going to listen to Steve.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: Hilton, all right, Joe Messina, Yeah, you you heard his
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: You know that's look and these folks say, get they
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: get a little upset with us. But on my show,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: we asked the questions.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 13: Yeah, no, no, I had him on my I had
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 13: both of them on my show months ago, and I
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 13: asked him the same question. I said, you got a
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 13: problem with the hardcore Republican conservatives. You know you're you're
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 13: taking a knee. He did not mention prayer on my
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 13: show at the time. I'm just telling you the truth.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 13: One of the things was it was a way to
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 13: de escalate the situation. If he was truly praying, if
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 13: it was truly just for prayer, then why was the
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 13: person that was interviewing him, Why was he still on
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 13: a knee and that person had to get down on
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 13: her knee to interview him. If the prayer is over,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 13: stand up, you know, I mean, seriously, you and I
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 13: believe the same way, and I bow my knee to
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 13: one and only one. So I think he's I think
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 13: he's gonna problem. He's gonna have a problem with the
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 13: with the with the real right wing conservative Christian base.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 13: He and it doesn't matter what Hilton says. Uh, Hilton,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 13: I think his only negative is going to be the
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 13: fact that he was a commentator on Fox and he
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 13: still has some pretty decent conservative values, but he is
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 13: a little more liberal on some social issues, so I
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 13: think that that will help m California voters. I will
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 13: say that if if Bianco thinks that he got a
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 13: real bump from the Trump thing, I don't think so.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 13: And swallwell leaving think about this, all it did was
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 13: move Steier up above Katie and pretty much tied with Bianco.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 13: So I think it's a little more. I think it's
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 13: a little more here than than he's willing to admit to.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 13: And as far as Hilton goes, uh, he he's got
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 13: to fight in front of him too, because even even
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 13: if those Republicans for Bianco and Hilton get together and vote,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 13: they're gonna a hard time. Look at the rest of
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 13: the numbers that are hanging out there, they're pretty much
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 13: all in a dead heat.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: It's a fair point. And again that Emerson College poll,
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: which is the most recent polling out of that came out,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: had Steyer actually tied with Bianco for the second place.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: I do wonder if that early Trump endorsement might have
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: actually hurt the Republicans here, because again I think Trump
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: should have stayed out of this and let's let this
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: play out, because to your point, it's the top two
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 3: vote getters that admits to the general.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 13: No, you're one hundred percent on. I agree with you.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 13: Trump should have just stayed out of it and said,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 13: I'll let you know, We'll let the Republicans, Conservatives people
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 13: decide out there what they want to do. And these
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 13: are the things that drives me crazy about them. Sometimes
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 13: it's like, leave us alone, we got it covered.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 3: Hey, I'm curious about Swallwell, you know, now, Nancy Pelosi
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: is we had no idea, We had no idea. This
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 3: man was a par of heart.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 13: Well, she could have thought that I have no idea.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 13: I mean, that would have been the probably the most
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 13: truthful statement she could have made. But no, you know,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 13: as well as I do, these people know what's going
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 13: on within their circle, within their Klan. They knew exactly
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 13: what was happening with him and a few others. I'm hoping,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 13: you know what, Todd, I'm praying and hoping that God
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 13: wills are cracking this thing wide open and these people
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 13: will have to come forward, they'll have to resign, or
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 13: they'll have to be removed from office. It's going to
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 13: be a massive battle.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: Joe, you would have loved the story we had on
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: yesterday Newsmax. This crazy story to have San Diego where
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: they I guess the California Republicans were meeting down there
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: at their big entering. The long Canon Republicans wanted to
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: hang out at this bar. I guess they were going
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: to have a lunch or whatever at this gay bar.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: And so they were ordered to leave because and the
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: bar advertises itself as a safe space where all are welcome,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: and yet they said the Maga hats were triggering the patrons,
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: and I guarantee you it as the super drivers, and
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: they made them all leave, and they were they were
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: pelted with food and beverages as they were leaving, you know,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: the restaurant. So we had them on the Newsmak show
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: yesterday and one of the guys one of the guys
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: is one of the leaders, and he said, oh, he says,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: I called him by his formal name. He says, oh,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: you can call me Maga Daddy. And I'm like, yeah,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: I'm good, I'm good, thank you. Though I appreciate that.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: It's great.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 13: You know, it's we know that they're not telling the truth.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 13: We know that when they when they say all are
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 13: welcome or this is a safe space for all, that's
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 13: not what they mean. Yeah, it's really it's really interesting
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 13: that the Party of Tolerance, and you've heard this a
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 13: million times not very tolerant.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: No, you know, they're really not. And and I again,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: it's it's the it's it's the weird thing about Trump.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: You know, he's embraces the evangelicals and he embraces the
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: gay community. And I said on the show last night,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: you know, I don't think there's ever been they call
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: Trump anti gay. And I'm like, that makes absolutely no sense.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, you look at some of You've got Scott Besson's,
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: You've got Rick Renell, so this guy is is a
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: friend of the gay community. So anyway, it's just I
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: find that it'd be fascinating that they try to make
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: those arguments.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 13: They use a different dictionary of the sours that we do. Apparently,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 13: because you're right, I can't make it out either.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, go figure, Go figure, all right, Joe Messina, So
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: you got big plans for the weekends, No.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 13: I want to relax once in a while. I might
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 13: be able to pull it off this weekend, I might.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: All right, Well, good stuff. Well head over to the
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: beach or whatever you know it.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 13: Yeah, maybe we'll see the beach. You've been to our
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 13: beaches in California.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: Can I just say I'm not a big fan of
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: California beaches. It's not like the Gulf of America, where
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: you know the Have you been to the Gulf of America,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: Joe Messina, I have not, not for eon. All Right,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you what you need. You need to
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: get the wife, get missus. Joe, and you guys need
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: to go down to Orange Beach. I think that's a
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: good place. It's in Alabama. You can fly down and
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: h we got all sorts of great airports. And I'm
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 3: just telling you the beaches. The water is just blue
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: as blue can be, and the beaches are like Dixie
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: sugar crystals, Dixie all right, I have to look that
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: one up white as pure beautiful. But the thing is,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: in California, the water is always super cold, and you've
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: got all the seaweed and the goat. Yeah I don't.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 13: Yeah, And they can't clean the beaches because you're not
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 13: allowed to move certain people that live on the beach.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: Well that's You're not going to have that problem down
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: in the Gulf of America. You know what, Joe, I
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: can promise you some of our listeners will call in

• 1:10:09
  Speaker 3: their hair more my great hair. Yeah, yeah, all right.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: And if you do have a favorite spot on the
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 3: Redneck Riviera the Gulf of America, let us know nine
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six. This
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: is the ton starring show. All right, President Obama now
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: jumping into the situation in Virginia next week, that big
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: election on redistricting, and we brought in Josh Jones to
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 3: talk about that on the Newsmax Show and go through
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: the very very latest Let's check in with Josh. Gotta
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: tell you our founding bothers must be turning over in
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: their graves right now to see what's happening in Virginia.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 10: It's so sad, Todd, I mean, and this is just
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 10: based of what the Democrats priorities, particularly in Virginia are.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 10: They're not focused on cost of living, they're not focused
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 10: on affordability. It's a shameless powergraph for redistricting or trying
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 10: to redistrict Virginia that draw out four Republican seats and
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 10: essentially eradicating Republican representation from the state, even though we're
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 10: a swing state that's almost split down the middle to
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 10: now this where we're warding our Electoral College votes to
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 10: California and New York. So it's sad to see that
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 10: Virginia has gone down this path.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 3: And of course, the other big story facing Virginia is
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 3: possibly going to impact who controls the House of representatives
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: in the fall, that's all about redistricting. Early voting off
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: to a pretty slow start. There is a group called
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: State Navigate Polls, and they indicate Virginia's are actually divided
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: on Governor Spanberger and the redistriuting referendum, Yes, leading by
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 3: five points fifty point seven percent. No accounts for forty
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 3: five point four percent. Josh, I'm wondering if this is
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: even fair to pull because the question is so darn confusing.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 10: You're right, Todd, The question as it appears on the
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 10: ballot is the most egregious, most misleading thing I've seen
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 10: in politics in a very long time. If you were
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 10: an average voter walking into the polling booth and you
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 10: weren't necessarily following the behind the scenes of this, you
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 10: think this is a good thing about establishing some kind
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 10: of fair districts in Virginia. Well, newsflash, we did that
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 10: in twenty twenty when we passed the constitutional amendment, mind you,
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 10: that was supported by then Congresswoman in Spanburger establishing a
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 10: nonpartisan commission to draw fair maps in Virginia. And we
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 10: have some of the faires in the country as of
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 10: right now. And Governor Spanberger when she was a candidate,
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 10: echoed those positions of not wanting to redraw the lines.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 10: Guess what happens when she becomes governor. Just like every
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 10: other Democrat, they run to the left and just catered
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 10: to the leftist base that the Democratic parties became. And
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 10: it's so sad. And that's why her polling numbers are
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 10: the lowest they've ever been of any Virginia governor at
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 10: this point in their term.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: I know, Josh that you are a gun total patriot,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 3: and the governor signing a series of gun control bills
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 3: on Tuesday, sparking a lot of outrage from gun owners
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: of America. This is what they wrote on x These
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: bills are a slamp in the face to law abiding
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 3: Virginia gun owners. They also urged Virginians to take action
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: and contact their state legislature. What are you hearing from
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 3: conservatives there in your home state.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 10: Look, I'm from a very real part of the state
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 10: at that and everybody I know law abiding Second Amendment
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 10: supporting citizens. So this is we saw this happen under
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 10: Governor Northam a couple of years ago, where they went
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 10: after the Second Amendment in Virginian's Republicans Democrats and Independence
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 10: rose up to stop them.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 9: So we need to see the same thing here.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 10: We need people to reach out to their representatives in
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 10: Virginia and tell them don't support this legislation. Granted it's
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 10: already gone through the General Assembly. The governor's likely to
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 10: amend it, and that's their chance to stop it this
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 10: second go around.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: All right, there you have it, and again next week
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 3: that big election, we're going to be all over that
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 3: that very well could determine who is in control of
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 3: the House of Representatives based on what happens with redistricting
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: in Virginia. Again, Democrats want to pretty much erase all
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 3: of the Republican seats except for one. All right, hanging
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: tied to everybody. Our three of the big show coming up,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 3: we take you live to the NRA. We'll be right back.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: That's that's American Todd startsday.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: Well, Hello everybody, Happy Friday to you America. This is
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 3: the Todd Stearns Radio Show. And of course today is
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: open Line Friday. That's the one day you get to
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: call in and talk about whatever is on your mind.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: I want you to write down our telephone number. It's
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. Well,
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 3: thousands of people are in Houston for the annual National
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 3: Rifle Association convention and gathering huge, huge numbers expected there
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 3: in Houston, and right in the middle of it all
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 3: is our good friend. He is the owner of Patriot
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: Talk nine twenty, our terrific affiliate in Houston, Matt Velasquez. Matt,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 3: first of all, I get you have to feel pretty
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: good that you didn't have to travel very far to
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 3: get to the convention.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 24: You know, it's nice. I didn't have to jump on
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 24: an airplane to actually get the gun convention this time.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 24: I just had to drive the one hour in Houston
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 24: traffic to get here. So I'll take that any day.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: Well there, well, there you go, Matt. I want you
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: to set the scene for us. What's it been like,
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 3: how are the crowns and what's what's what's the mood
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 3: of the p.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 24: Oh it's huge as an understatement, So the big convention
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 24: center we have here in Houston's a Georgia Brown Convention
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 24: Center and a traditional show that goes on here. It
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 24: breaks down into several different halls. This entire convention center
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 24: is nothing but gun owners and gun related items. So
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 24: it's a huge event just started. Today's going to run
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 24: Saturday and Sunday as well, and we're right here in
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 24: the middle of it, being Houston's radio station for gun owners.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: You know, I want to get to that in just
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 3: a minute because I'm fascinated with the branding of the station.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 3: You know, again that you these conventions, you know sometimes
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 3: you know, especially when it comes to political season, you know,
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 3: you see a lot of people turn out. But this
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 3: is one hundred and fifty fifth year they've been holding
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 3: a National Rifle Association convention. What do what is the
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 3: main focus? And when people go, what do they do?
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 24: So it's one thing where it's all your two A
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 24: lovers that are kind of ganging together. It's kind of
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 24: like just a retreat for gun owners, is the way
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 24: I kind of look at it. And then you know,
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 24: you have the leaders in different FIM manufacturers here showcasing.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 24: You know, sometimes it's products haven't changed in decades. Sometimes
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 24: they're coming out with something new, and so it's basically
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 24: just staying in the boots on the ground with your
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 24: your your base, and so you have different vendors from
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 24: your large companies all the way down to your small
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 24: mom and pop stores. They're all coming together, and so
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 24: it's nice that you can see a big, you know,
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 24: farm manufacturer that you would normally see. But then there's
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 24: a guy that's you know, manufacturing his own T shirts here,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 24: there's someone to sting into three D printing firearms. So
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 24: it's quite a diverse group that's here, and we really
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 24: enjoy being a part of it and getting to talk
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 24: to everyone, get them on the air, expose everybody to
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 24: our crowd.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 3: I love this now, are you guys based? So if
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: any of the Patriot Talk listeners or any of our
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 3: national audience, if they're anthe NRA, can they come by
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 3: and say say hello?
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 24: They can come by and say hello. I'm actually doing
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 24: this call right from our booths. So we're right here
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 24: in the voices of the Second Amendment section of that right.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 24: So you'll see a big banner at several of the
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 24: big podcasters radio shows they know from across the country
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 24: or here. We're the only local radio station here because
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 24: again we're the ones that actually supports the Second Amendment.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 24: But we're right across from our good mutual friend Tom Grisham,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 24: so he's here. He's going to be on this afternoon
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 24: with us as well. And yeah, we're here to shake
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 24: hands and say hi to our listeners and get a
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 24: few new followers as well.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: All right, so are you is Tom there? Do you
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 3: have eyes on Tom Gresham?
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 24: I don't know if Tom is still there. Looks like
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 24: he stepped away for a second. But Tom was hanging
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 24: out with us for a while this morning, because of
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 24: course we have to talk shop and talk radio.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, Tom's a very dear friend, and we
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 3: actually carry his show here, a Gun Talk on KWAM,
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 3: the station I own in Memphis. You gotta tell Tom
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 3: I said, hello, he's a great American patriot. I had
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 3: no idea that he was at the convention.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 24: Yeah, him and his son Ryan, Gun Talk is right
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 24: across from us. And so this afternoon we're actually going
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 24: to do a special broadcast with Michael Wilson from four
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 24: to six pm local and Tom and his son Ryan
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 24: are going to be on with us to kick off
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 24: the broadcast.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 3: Well, I just think that's terrific. I want to go
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 3: back to something you said though about the radio station,
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: and Matt, we're just so honored to be a part
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 3: of the lineup there. You guys are broadcasting us live
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 3: eleven to three Eastern on Patriot Talk. But I want
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 3: you to tell our listeners a little bit about the
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 3: radio station. It's a family owned radio station, and tell
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 3: us a little bit about the history.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 24: So it's very interesting because my father started this radio
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 24: station back in nineteen eighty three as a Spanish radio station,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 24: so he purchased the radio station. Then we're the very
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 24: first Tahano radio station in Houston, and for forty years
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 24: we operated as a Spanish based radio station, kind of
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 24: different Formatsking and to Talk. But in twenty twenty two,
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 24: my father passed away and so I took over ownership
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 24: of the company and I decided, you know what, I
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 24: was kind of tired of my Christian faith and my
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 24: patriotism under attack, so I said, you know what, let's
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 24: make a change here. And in twenty twenty four, we
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 24: flipped back to English format started Patriots Talk as the
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 24: most patriotic radio station, constitutional radio station that you're going
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 24: to find. And so we launched then and we quickly
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 24: found that. Hey, you know what, being family owned, being
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 24: family operated, being independent in the Houston area, There's a
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 24: lot of things that I could do that the big
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 24: corporate stations can do. And one of those things was
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 24: be very vocal in our support for the Second Amendment.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 24: And so we're a huge gun supporters here. We support
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 24: organizations like Gun Owners of America, and we are in
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 24: the fight to save our Second Amendment. And it has
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 24: been the greatest thing that we could do is to
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 24: just be a part of this community. They're so welcoming.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 24: That's why we love to be here live and in person.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 3: I love that. And every weekend, you guys are out there,
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 3: you're at the gun shows, you're in the community, and
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 3: you're shaking hands with folks who have become listeners over
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 3: the past couple of years.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 24: Yeah, I got to tell you something actually just happened
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 24: about ten minutes ago. So in twenty twenty five, we
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 24: were at fifty six gun shows just in the Houston area,
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 24: so more than one a week, because I have multiple
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 24: going on the same weekend. And one of my favorite
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 24: listeners that comes by our booth every time, he's an
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 24: elderly veteran that's in his his motor scooter. Every gun
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 24: show I see him, he comes up, shakes my hand.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 24: I always give him a free T shirt or something
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 24: I have. So I just ran into him here around
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 24: the corner, and of course it's so good to see
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 24: people like that and to be able to just shake
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 24: someone's hand and tell me, you know, thank you for
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 24: being a part of our radio station, for helping our growth,
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 24: and for letting us be a part of their you know,
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 24: daily life, you know, coming into their radio and being
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 24: able to support their fight for their their gun ownership rights.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 3: Matt Velasquez is with us. He's the honor of Patriot
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 3: Talk nine to twenty in Houston, are affiliate there in Texas,
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 3: and Matt, you know, when you look at the radio
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 3: station and the importance of having a locally owned radio station,
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 3: no matter how big or how small the town may be,
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 3: you guys are able to do things that the corporate
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 3: giants just are not able to or simply will not
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 3: even touch.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 25: Yeah.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 24: I was actually talking to Michael Wilson earlier about how
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 24: we're able to read and react to what's going on
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 24: in our community because we are boots in the ground.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 24: I grew up in Houston, I'm born and raised Nata Fewstonian.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 24: I know my city, I know how it's changed over
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 24: the last few decades, and we can react to that.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 24: So it's not just creating a format because we think,
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 24: hey could be profitable here, possible there. It's no, this
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 24: is my hometown and I want to save my hometown
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 24: from the woke movement that's been going on, from the
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 24: anti patriotism that's happening in our mainstream media. So the
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 24: fact that I know our city, we know our city,
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 24: and I'm in the fight to save this city and
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 24: to save the state of Tech because we want to
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 24: save Texas so we can save the country.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 3: You know, we were talking earlier about the Senate race
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 3: there where the Democrat Tall Rico, who's a woke radical
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 3: leftist who says the Bible supports abortion. That guy's what
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 3: rated in twenty seven million dollars. Cornyn Paxton going at it.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 3: How do you guys feel about the race? What are
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 3: you hearing there?
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 24: I feel confident in our race right now now. Patriot
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 24: Talk nine twenty am does not endorse candidates up until
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 24: you know, the general election, but we do highly support
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 24: the gun owner's candidate, and there's one candidate that is
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 24: not the Rhino candidate. Right now, we know our base
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 24: and we know who they're supporting. Tall Rico is obviously
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 24: selling snake oil right now, he's going to sell to
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 24: his base. But I think once we get past this
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 24: primary runoff, I think we're going to be in for
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 24: a good fight to really put tall Rico back into place.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 3: All right, Well, Matt Felasquez, have fun a lot of
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 3: good food there as well. They feed you guys at.

• 1:24:52
  Speaker 3: Matt Blasquez from Patriot Talk nine to twenty. And I'm
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 3: not kidding you, folks. They are the gun Owners station
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 3: in Houston, and they are all of the gun shows,
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 3: and uh, well, you know, we hear from a lot
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 3: of you folks, a lot of you Patriotalk listeners out there,
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 3: and Matt and his team are are just the real deal.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 3: And I know you guys can attest to that. All Right,
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 3: We've got to take a quick break here. Nine oh
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 3: one two six zero five nine two six. That's nine
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five, nine two six. This
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 3: is the Todd Sterns Show. All right, Welcome back, ladies
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 3: and gentlemen. This is the Todd Sterns Radio Show. So
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 3: there has been a lot of chatter about President Trump
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 3: and Pope Leo. By the way, Paula White, who is
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 3: the President's spiritual advisor, says that President Trump is a
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 3: very religious man and that she was on Real America's
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 3: Voice earlier today and says that President Trump can even
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 3: quote some sermons from memory. So anyway, we had some
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 3: pastors on to talk about all of this and to
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 3: talk about the whether or not this is a big
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 3: issue for voters. I don't think it is. I think
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 3: conservative Catholics, or rather Catholics are more conservative than their
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 3: Vatican leaders. We had Father Frank Pavone and Pastor Keith
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 3: Norman from Memphis, Tennessee on the show to talk about that.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 3: I'm going to start with you, Pastor. Did the Pope
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 3: have it coming? Good to see you.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 21: No, the Pope didn't have it coming.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 15: The Pope will always and should always weigh in on
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 15: the moral issues that.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 3: Are going on in the world.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 15: And so the Pope did what his responsibilities call him
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 15: to do, what Christ calls him to do, and what
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 15: the witness, the public witness of faith caused us all
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 15: to do, to speak truth to power and to keep
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 15: our congregants and those who look to us for leadership
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 15: informed about what's going on. This is a war that's
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 15: taking the lives of innocent people. It has also had
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 15: an impact on many aspects of American life. And so
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 15: therefore the Pope was right on point. We are never
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 15: going to be out of politics. We're always going to
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 15: shed light on the moral issues of the World War, life,
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 15: death crime, you name it, and especially when genocide is
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 15: being mentioned.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 3: All right, now, Father Frank, doctor Norman and I we're
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 3: both the Baptist dre on this panel. And the pope's
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 3: your guy, he's one of your people. What do you
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 3: say about this Pope?
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 22: Well, you know, the Pope and the President agree on something. Well,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 22: I agree on a number of things very clearly. Number one,
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 22: pastor what you just said, which I agree with wholeheartedly.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 21: Do the clergy have to be free to speak? And
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 21: President Trump has been a key proponent of that.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 22: Just yesterday I was at his Religious Liberty Commission hearing
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 22: once again, and I mean, he's done so much for
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 22: the freedom of the church to speak out on issues.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 22: He welcomes the voice of the clergy. But I think
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 22: where this has broken down is the following. You know,
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 22: the Pope said clearly, you know, I don't want to
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 22: be a politician.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 21: I don't want to set foreign policy.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 22: When the Pope speaks, and the bishops and any religious leaders,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 22: you know, we should welcome their opinions about specific public policies,
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 22: but they have to make a distinction when they're articulating
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 22: what they believe are the moral principles of the Gospel.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 22: Let them articulate those clearly. But then when you get
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 22: into the weeds and you say, well, how should those
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 22: principles be applied, that's where people who are equally committed
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 22: to the principles might differ in practice. So you can say,
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 22: for example, well, nation should be generous in welcoming immigrants.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 22: President Trump agrees with that, but there's no Catholic policy
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 22: on how many deportations you should do or how ice
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 22: should function.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 21: There's no Catholic teaching on that.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 22: The Catholic teaching is let's be generous, let's set norms
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 22: that the nation believes is helpful to it. But then
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 22: you have to leave it to the politicians to work
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 22: out those practical details.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 21: You have an opinion, find express it, but make it
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 21: clear that believers can are for you also to disagree
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 21: with it.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 3: All right, I've got to move on to here. At
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 3: doctor Norman, President Trump says he was actually surprised by
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 3: the backlash he got from Christian conservatives over this now
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 3: deleted truth social post, saying yesterday quote I thought it
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 3: was me as a doctor. They thought he was portraying Jesus,
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 3: the vice President said. The President took down the post
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 3: because quote, people were not understanding his humor.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 21: What do you make of that post?
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 15: Well, first of all, it was sacrilege in my opinion,
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 15: what I saw in that particular post. First of all,
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 15: he did not originally think that he was being depicted
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 15: as a doctor. He did not originally say that it
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 15: was humor. He said, Hey, I thought it was they
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 15: were depict to me and the doctor, so he thought
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 15: that was acceptable. Well, he's not a doctor, so that's
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 15: not good either. He owns this space. And I want
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 15: to be clear that there's no blame towards his base
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 15: for this kind of action. Oftentimes people will say, well,
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 15: you know, people have empowered him to do this kind
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 15: of thing. It was his base that launched out and
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 15: lashed out to say we don't like this. And I
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 15: really commend them for doing it. And I commend those
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 15: who have even supported him on past initiatives. Whether I
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 15: agree with them or not, I commend them for having
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 15: a voice when it comes to their faith. We got
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 15: into an area where political loyalty was crossing into theological space,
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 15: and so the President was I believe wrong in his
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 15: action to do this. And I believe he has to
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 15: own the backlash, and just because he took it down
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 15: doesn't mean that people won't have these opinions continually.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 3: All right, Father Frank, what's your take on that post
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 3: to the president cross a line?
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 22: The President is the closest to a miracle worker that
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 22: we've seen in public life. What I mean is you
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 22: look at the actual problems he has solved, and courageous
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 22: actions he's taken that other presidents have only wished to
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 22: or hoped that they could do.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 21: So the point.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 22: I think that you and I understand completely the reaction
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 22: of the base to this, as was just said, but
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 22: I think we have to be careful and I think.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 21: We're subject to this in a social.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 22: Media world where we're getting more worked up about a
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 22: particular post that the president didn't mean any disrespect to religion,
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 22: then we are in paying attention to the unbelievable things
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 22: that are happening. Wars that are being ended all over
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 22: the world, the lowest murder rate in America since nineteen hundred,
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 22: the numbers of people being lifted out of poverty, the
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 22: religious freedom that is flourishing thanks to his actions, the
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 22: things that are being accomplished. You know, many people and
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 22: believers do look at this and say, my goodness, this
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 22: is like an intervention of God in so many of
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 22: these arenas not to be you.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 21: Know, prisident.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 22: Trump has said publicly many many times, America only has
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 22: one savior. It's Jesus Christ.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 21: This is not me.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 22: This is not about you know, personality cult. It should
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 22: never be. But he acknowledges that. But I think we
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 22: also have to focus on the works and the results
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 22: and the amazing.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 21: Things that have been accomplished.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 3: Thank you, gentlemen. We're gonna have to leave it there. Fellas,
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 3: I think we can all agree. Maybe we need an
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 3: eleventh commandment thou shalt not meet. All right, Welcome back

  Speaker 3: radio and I have fun doing TV, but I my
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 3: passion is really radio. And the reason why is it's
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 3: so conversational. We get to kick back we can talk
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 3: long form about some of the big issues of the
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 3: day and just hang out. And we love having those
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 3: kinds of conversations on the radio.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it really makes it nice. I always think of
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 9: it as just having a conversation with your best friend.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 9: I mean, that makes it really nice. You can say
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 9: whatever you want to your best friend.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 3: Right, that's pretty much it.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 21: Right.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're I think you're right. As long
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 3: as we don't use any of the FCC forbidden words
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 3: a light, I think we're pretty good.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 9: I don't think we have to worry about that in
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 9: this company present company.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 3: Is this is true? I will say we we almost
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 3: had to use our delay button on the President of
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 3: the United States once he got a little he got
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 3: a little carried away.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah. Well, you know, he's been known for that. But
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 9: I think it's one of the things that I really
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 9: admire about him is he's so off the cuff, he's
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 9: so human, he's so he's so down to earth and
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 9: just open about everything. And I don't think enough people
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 9: appreciate that about him.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 3: Now, Elaide, we were we were telling people earlier in
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 3: the show that you know, the president is going to
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 3: be speaking a little bit later on in the Phoenix
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 3: area and thousands of folks have been lined up for
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 3: hours waiting to get inside, which is quite something with
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 3: the heat and air. But what does it tell you
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 3: about the support this president still has.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 9: Well, I'll tell you what. This is an amazing day
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 9: to start with, but going personally to that event right now,
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 9: it's an amazing thing to see how people love him
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 9: so much they'll do anything to get there. I literally
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 9: have been so blessed because I've been to see him
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 9: many times, I know him personally, and I've taken people
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 9: with me because nobody loves anything much more than getting
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 9: to talk to the man that they look up to,
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 9: that they rely on, that they respect. And there's so
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 9: much respect there for him, and that's why people you
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 9: can't get close enough to somebody that you care about
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 9: and that you know is fighting for you. And that's
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 9: what he does.
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 3: Elaine, Isn't It really is amazing just to be able
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 3: to spend time with him one on one and you
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 3: just get to see the president for who he really is.
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 3: And you know, I've been down to mar A Lago.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 3: I know you've been there, and just the idea that
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 3: you know, here's the guy one of the wealthiest men,
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 3: the most one of the most powerful men of the world,
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 3: and yet on the menu at mar A Lago, one
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 3: of the you know, wealthiest, toniest clubs out there, he's
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 3: got his mother's meat loaf on the menu. So he's
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 3: still one of these down to earth kind of a
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 3: guys who you know, whether he's paling around with the
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 3: rich and famous or you know, a bunch of construction workers.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 9: This is true.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 12: You know.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 9: I've always said the greatest compliment anybody can give you
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 9: is to say that you're genuine. And that's how I
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 9: see President Trump. He's so genuine, he's like, you know,
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 9: he's he's his down home as apple pie. And yet
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 9: at the same time he's not afraid to speak up
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 9: and say what's on his mind and to protect He's
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 9: a real man. You know, My father, I always said,
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 9: was a real man. A real man is not these
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 9: phony ones that we have nowadays, that you know, are
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 9: out there trying to get attention for themselves, calling themselves
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 9: tough guys and standing up to everybody and cursing and yellen.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 9: A real man condones respect by their actions. They condone
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 9: respect by their being able to be themselves and stand
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 9: up and people look up to them because of how
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 9: they react to things and what their their their lifestyle is.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 9: And that's how I see President Trump.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 3: I really do, you know, Elaine, I don't know if
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 3: you heard what he said yesterday. He was in Vegas
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 3: and he said, you know, he goes, I love the seniors,
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 3: and the seniors love me, but I'm not a senior.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 3: He says, I'm not a senior, but I love him.
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 3: He has such a great wit about him, and a
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 3: lot of that just gets lost on people. And I
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 3: find that really sad, because he's a funny guy too.
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 21: Well.
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 9: You know, I think that's amusing because he and I
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 9: think very much a lot on that. I live in Tucson, Arizona,
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 9: where there's a lot of seniors, and I'm always joking
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 9: around about how the old people are in my way
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 9: and I'm not his age, but I'm not that far
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 9: behind him. And I think it's all about our perspective again,
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 9: and our genuineness and who we really are. He's got
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 9: such a good soft heart in reality, and yet God
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 9: gave him abilities to be able to see realities so
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 9: he can do what he's doing.
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 3: Elaine Beck is joining us on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 3: line today. Her website, by the way, Elainebeck dot com.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 3: That's Elainebeck dot com. And I know so many of
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 3: our folks have seen you at Seapack and many of
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 3: the big conservative gatherings Lane, but I'd love for you
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 3: to share with our crew our audience about Proverbs Media
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 3: Group and the great ministry that you have well.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 9: Proverbs Media Group started out by God give me me
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 9: a vision almost eight years ago now, and he asked
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 9: me to bring the Christians together in the nation, not
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 9: a small task, but he also reassured me that he'd
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 9: give us the right people at the right place at
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 9: the right time, and that's where we are right now.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 9: We have a voice that we're trying to put out
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 9: there to share not only what's happening in the country,
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 9: because that is important, and that politics and religion are
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 9: and do have to be hand in hand in reality,
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 9: although it was denied for so many years. So we
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 9: have an opportunity to bring the people out that are
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 9: in high places, including clear up in two the President
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 9: of the United States, and give them a voice to
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 9: speak out about the good things that God does every day,
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 9: not just the bad things that we must face daily.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 9: So I was basically who we are.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 3: I was at Fox News for about fifteen years and
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 3: then move back to my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, and
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 3: which is where we base all of our national operations.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 3: I just had to be closer to sweet tea and
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 3: good barbecue Elaine. It is what it is. But but
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 3: you know, one of the things that we really have
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 3: a passion about here is fixing what is broken in
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 3: the media, especially because that is such you know, our
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 3: founding fathers understood the importance of having that fourth estate,
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 3: you know, having a media that really was fair and balanced.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 3: And we're a long way from from what I think
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 3: our founding fathers envisioned. But I think that's so vitally
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 3: important because again, without it, I think you just it
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 3: just adds to the chaos in the culture.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 9: What say you, Oh, I totally agree. I love that.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 9: You know, we are living a world and as times
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 9: such as this where we can reach every human being
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 9: on earth in one form or another, and because of that,
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 9: it's a privilege and we should treat it as such.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 9: It's a privilege to be able to speak the truth,
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 9: and it's a privilege to be able to honor God
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 9: in what we do. And it's a privilege to work
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 9: with people like yourself and others that I work with
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 9: all the time in sharing what we should do and
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 9: what's right and wrong in this country and in our world.
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 9: So I agree with you. I think it's a great
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 9: thing and I think it's a must.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 3: So Elaine, are you going to the event today? Are
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 3: you going to be able to see I know, I
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 3: don't know how far Tucson is from Phoenix, but are
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 3: you going to be able to get over there?
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 9: Well, it's about a two hour drive and I wasn't
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 9: planning on it because I had this really great guy
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 9: I think his name's Todd Stearns to do a show
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 9: with today.
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 3: Wait, so you're blaming me for not seeing the president
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 3: in LA.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 25: You know.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 9: The thing is is I see him often, and those
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 9: big gatherings and things like that. You know, I'm privileged,
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 9: and I admit it that I don't have to do
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 9: those to go see him, and I want to give
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 9: others the opportunity to get to know him and be
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 9: close to him like I have, And I think that's great.
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 3: One of the things. You know, Gosh about six or
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 3: seven months ago, he was on the show and I
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 3: told him, you know, he had already dispatched the National
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 3: Guard to Washington, and I said, well, mister President, if
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 3: you don't mind send some of those National Guard troops
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 3: to Memphis, because you know, we've really been hit hard
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 3: by crime. And he said he promised he would look
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 3: into it. And a couple of weeks later, I get
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 3: a call from the White House and they're like, hey,
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 3: the President wants you up here because we're going to
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 3: be sending in the National Guard. And he's just one
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 3: of those guys, you know, he really is a man
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 3: of his word and he does what he says he's
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 3: going to do. And I know there are a lot
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 3: of people here in the Memphis area and the mid
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 3: South that are just so thankful that this president, you know,
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 3: took care of things and cleaned up the streets of Memphis.
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and I'm looking forward to seeing that continue on.
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 9: I know that President Trump has been doing great things.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 9: I know that today that the you know, the the
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 9: UH what is it horror moves opened up. I know
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 9: that the oil prices and the UH everything's just blowing
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 9: up today. It's wonderful news. I know that we're he's
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 9: dealing with a lot of things. But I know too
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 9: that if we look into the future, we're going to
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 9: see a safer, happier, yes, more free country again. And
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 9: and that delights me and what he's doing, and so
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 9: I really appreciate, uh, everything so much.
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 3: It is. It's going to be an amazing thing. And
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 3: it has been a great day of course of the
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 3: President and Iran both announcing the straight of horror moves
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 3: is now open, and we're it's going to be a
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 3: good day. I think we're going to see the war
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 3: come to a quick conclusion and we can get back
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 3: to what's happening here in this country. Before we let
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 3: you go, Alane, we were talking about Tucson yesterday on
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 3: the show. We we have a weird show. One minute
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 3: we're talking to the President and the next we're talking
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 3: about the Oscar Mayer Wiener mobile coming to town. Right,
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 3: So it's a little odd, But you guys have something
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 3: in Tucson called a Sonora dog, which apparently is one
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 3: of the best hot dogs. I guess you guys wrap
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 3: it in bacon or something. Is that true?
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 9: Oh, it's got everything on it, but the kitchen sink
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 9: as they say. Yeah, we I myself personally love hot dogs, okay,
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 9: and everybody around here does. And the Sonoran dog is
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 9: something that it's actually a feat to be able to
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 9: eat it because there's so much on it. And actually
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 9: I think some might say that it's hard to taste
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 9: the hot dog for the other things, but it's well
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 9: worth to try. I welcome everybody to come to Tucson
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 9: and have one.
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 3: All right, Elaine, I'm coming to Tucson and you'll have
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 3: to take me to the best hot dog joint. They're
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 3: in Tucson, Arizona.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 9: You got it. Any time you're ready, just let me know.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 3: All right, Well we by the way, we got to
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 3: take a break here, Elaine, but God bless you, and
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 3: we're gonna get you back on to talk about big
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 3: issues of the day and folks, you can check out
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 3: Elaine at her website Elainebeck dot com. Elaine, have a
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 3: great blessed.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 9: Weekend, you too, God bless you, my friend.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 3: All right, we've got to take a quick break, quick break, folks,
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 3: we'll be right back.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 3: Always fun. You know, she was such a very lovely lady,
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 3: and I thought, you know, we got to get Elaine
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 3: on the radio show. We love having those conversations. I
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 3: love the fact that Elaine hanging out with Donald Trump
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 3: all the time. But she's a big fan of the
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 3: snoring dog. So there, she's good.
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 13: People.
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 3: Let's go to the phone lines. John in Georgia, w
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 3: d U n our great affiliate. There, Hi John, what's
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 3: on your mind?
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 25: God, you're great American?
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you, John. Appreciate that.
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 25: Hirst had like to say, I don't agree with government regulations,
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 25: but they don't have to rein in the oil companies
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 25: and the pharmaceutical companies. Something's got to be done about those.
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 25: They're just killing America. And I heard that you. I
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 25: heard you mentioned earlier in the program that you were
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 25: going to be interviewing someone from an oil company, and
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 25: I wanted to tell you a quick story. My father
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 25: owned a full service gas station and wholesale oil company
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 25: back in the seventies during the gas shortage when there
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 25: was gas lines and everything, and I was working there
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 25: on and off, and I was there one day. I
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 25: happened to be there one day when some it was
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 25: a Phenis station and there was some company representatives came
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 25: in to talk to my dad about the company and
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 25: the future of the company and stuff like that. Anyway,
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 25: I'm sitting there listening to them, and my dad said
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 25: something about, you know, the gas shortage, and that company
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 25: representative told him there wasn't any gas shortage. He said,
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 25: our gas tanks are overflowing. He said, there's not a
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 25: gas shortage. So whatever you whatever the oil companies tell
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 25: you when you interview them, it's probably not going to
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 25: be true.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 3: Well it's it's not the oil company, John, This is
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 3: the headhun show at the Oil and Gas Workers Association,
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 3: and you know they're fighting to save American oil and
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 3: gas jobs, right right, So I think we're going to
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 3: get a different perspective from But I hear what you're saying, John,
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 3: that must have been you know, I missed those. I
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 3: remember as a kid we went to one of those
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 3: full service, you know, family owned gas stations. I sure
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 3: do miss those.
