  Speaker 1: From the principal Toyota studios, it's Morning in Memphis with
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Todd Starnes.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: And it is a very nice start to the weekday
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: here in the principal Toyota Memphis studio. Hello, everybody. Welcome
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: to the show. Great to have you with us. I'm
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Todd Starnes. We have some great guests coming up. A
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: lot of political news here in the state of Tennessee.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: We're going to get to Steve Gill, the publisher of
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: TriStar Daily. We'll be here in just a little while. Also,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: John Covington, the vice president of the Memphis Police Association.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: He'll be dropping by a little bit later on. We
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: have a lot of local news to get to as well,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: including what happened over the weekend at the Delta Fair
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: and Music Festival over at the AgriCenter, making national news,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: national headlines today. All sorts of mayhem. Now, the good
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: news is that law enforcement was there. They were able
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: to make a couple of arrests. And by the way,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: we have the full story, including video, at kwamradio.com. Again,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: that's kwamradio.com. And hundreds of you, hundreds of you have
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: weighed in on our social media pages about what happened
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: over the weekend. where these gangs of black teenagers started
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: multiple fights... and caused stampedes at the fair. And many,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: many families were there trying to have a good time,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: trying to enjoy the fair. I mean, there were a
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: lot of people, a lot of people there. And all
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: you know what breaks loose. Now, the Shelby County Sheriff's
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Department says that they had to temporarily suspend the fair
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: because of the violence there. that these teenagers were causing. Now,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: it just seems to me that we need to— it is
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: well beyond addressing this problem. I was driving— I live, well,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: a couple of miles away from the AgriCenter, and so
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I was off to Shelby Farms late yesterday evening, pulled in—
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: to get some gas and went in to grab a
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: bottle of water. And there were these law enforcement, a
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: couple of law enforcement guys there, about three of them.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: It looked like they were heading into Afghanistan. That's how
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: they were outfitted, with all of their gear. And the cashier,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: everybody was sort of, you know, taken aback. And the
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: cashier said, what's going down? Where are you guys heading to?
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: And the guy says, the fair. I mean, just think
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: about that. If that's how law enforcement has to get
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: ready to go to a fair, what does that say
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: about the rest of us? And this is a problem
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: that has not gone away, and this is a problem
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: that will not go away until we can figure out
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: what to do with these parents that are allowing their
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: kids to become animals and really behave worse than animals.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Animals don't behave like this. And this is a big
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: problem in the Mid-South, and nobody wants to talk about it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: That's one of the funny things. We got several comments
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: on our KWAM page yesterday. You're the only news outlet
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: in the entire city that's actually talking about this. Well,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: there's a reason why, because it's a racial component to this,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: and the media will not touch those kinds of stories unless.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Unless it impacts their liberal base, which is why the
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: media has been all over the shutdown of Riverside Drive.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: They spent $ 60 million to renovate, and most of that
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: was your tax money. They spent $ 60 million, City Hall did,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: to renovate Tom Lee Park. They spent another $ 2 million
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: to reconstruct Riverside Drive, which is almost impassable now. But
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: they've shut it down over the weekends. And the reason
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: why is they say they can't control the violence that's
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: being caused by young people on Riverside Drive and in
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Tom Lee Park on the weekends. So they want to
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: make it as difficult as possible for anybody to get
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: down to the park. Now, here's the problem. All of
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: the neighborhoods in the downtown area are enraged because now
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: that that road is closed, it's caused all sorts of gridlock.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to explain why this ties into what's
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: happening at the Agri-Center. So bear with me for a second.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: So the Downtown Association, and we have that story up
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: at kwmradio.com as well. Downtown Association is, the Neighborhood Association,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: very upset. And they're demanding that Riverside Drive be reopened.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: This is why it's hilarious. We went back and looked
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: at the voting demographics of downtown Memphis, overwhelmingly Democrat. So
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: these folks, I feel their pain. But you know what?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Downtown folks, you get what you voted for. And I
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: hate it for you. I mean, many of you live
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: in those multimillion-dollar homes on the bluffs, and I get it.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: You don't want to have to sit out on your
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: front porch watching the riverboats go by as the gangbangers
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: are fighting in Tom Lee Park on the basketball court.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I get that. I feel for you. But you know what?
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: You deserve it because that's what you voted for. So
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: until you decide, liberal Democrats in downtown Memphis, to actually
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: change your voting habits, that's going to continue. And by
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the way, that's the same thing that's happening right now
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: at the Delta Fair. And I know the organizers of
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: the Delta Fair, some of the greatest salt of the
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: earth people you will ever meet. Fine, fine people. And
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: they put on a wonderful fair. At least they're trying to.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: But then these thugs, these gangs of thugs come in.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: And so I want to outline the problem here. But
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: we also need to talk about solutions. And that's where
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: you come in. And I'm just curious. How do we
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: fix this problem, ladies and gentlemen? Because, look, we've allowed
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: these gangs of predominantly black teens to destroy our shopping malls.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: You try going down to Wolfchase Galleria. Drive down old— remember
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: the Hickory Ridge Mall. Go back, drive by there. Just,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: you know, take some— get some, you know, Kevlar. Make sure
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: you've got bulletproof windows. and hide the kids drive down
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: winchester and take a look at what used to be
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: go down to white haven right now and take a
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: look take a look around it doesn't have to be
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: like this but it is go go drive by where
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the mall of memphis used to be what do they
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: call it the ball of murder back in the day Oh,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: what about Oak Court?
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Anybody?
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I'm just telling you, drive by these places. I'd encourage
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: you to drive by Tom Lee Park, but you can't
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: because Riverside Drive is closed. I'm just saying. So at
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: some point, and by the way, downtown is on the verge.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: And this really bothers me. Look, I lived 15 years
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: in downtown Brooklyn, New York. I love a vibrant downtown
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: where you can get out, walk around, not have to
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: worry about anything. You can't do that in downtown Memphis,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: even with the National Guard there. So we've got to
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: do something about this or we're just going to lose
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: the city. I mean, it really is that simple. We
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: are at that point now. So a lot of angry
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: parents posting messages on social media on our KWAM page
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: seems to me, first of all, Every outlet, every restaurant, store,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: every park, zoos, you need to have a policy in place.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: If you are under the age of 18, you've got
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: to be accompanied by a parent. That's number one. Number two,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: police need to lay down the law. I appreciate the
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: fact that four people got arrested today. But four people,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: we've seen the videos. Why weren't all of those kids arrested?
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: And then, by the way, why aren't their parents being
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: thrown in jail? But again, we've got maybe a generation,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: two generations of kids here in the Mid-South that have
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: been raised to behave worse than animals. And that is
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: a home problem. And I'm just telling you, City Hall
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: seems to think the answer here is to build more
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: community centers and build more basketball courts. And that, my friend,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: is not the answer. How do we know? Just look
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: at what happened over the weekend. And by the way,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: we've got a big, beautiful, huge basketball court right there
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: down on Riverside Drive. And what happened? They had to
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: shut it down the roadway. because of all of the
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: out-of-control violence. So my question this morning, ladies and gentlemen,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: what do we do about it? What is the answer?
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. By the way,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: some poor guy, I feel for this fella. He's a
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: big U of M fan, and he posted something on
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: social media. You know, we had a lot of Memphis
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Tigers go out to Boise, Idaho, and for the big game. Look,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: it was a tough weekend for Memphis Tigers fans, but
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: don't worry. It's a long season, and Coach Huff is
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: doing a great job. And we're going to have some
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: ups and downs. All right, so setting that aside. So
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: this guy writes in, Boise downtown is amazing. Loads of people,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: retail and restaurants, zero, homeless, skunk weed or urine, planters
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: all along the streets full of healthy plants, no cruising,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: blast music at a thousand decibels it's attractive usable and
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: safe And so, by the way, many other people from
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: the Mid-South posted the same thing about Boise. And they
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: said they couldn't believe how nice this city was. Look,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: I was a couple of weeks ago. I was in Nashville,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: went to Green Hills Mall, had brunch with some friends.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: And it was remarkable.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: People were walking around leisurely. They weren't looking around like
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: they were in some sort of a war zone. They
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: were having a good time. There were no gangs, marauding
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: gangs of people. It was just, it was a nice,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: pleasant Saturday. And I'm thinking, why can't we have this
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: back in Back in Memphis. Why can't we do that?
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: So this guy gets brutally attacked by the Memphis media
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: mob and these liberal sports journalists we have here attacking
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: him as if he's some sort of a racist. But
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: the guy is speaking the truth here. And that's the problem.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: The media is really complicit in all of this. We
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: are not owned by the corporate bigwigs. So we get
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: to say the unvarnished truth on this radio station. And
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: we will always do that. But I appreciate what this
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: guy had to say because it's a good point. We
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: don't have to live like this, ladies and gentlemen. This
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: is not normal. We have allowed it to become normal,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: but it is not normal. All right, we've got to
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: take a break. Late for traffic, 901-260-5926. I'm Todd Starnes
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: in the principal Toyota Memphis studio. All right, KWAM chief
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: meteorologist Laura Huckabee will be here in just a few
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: minutes to tell you exactly how hot it's going to
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: be and how much hotter it's going to get. Welcome back, everybody.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I'm Todd Stearns in the principal Toyota Memphis studio. Let's
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: go right away to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line and
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: say hello to our good friend Steve Gill. He is
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: the publisher of TriStar Daily News. TriStarDailyNews.com. Got to go
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: check it out. TriStarDaily.com. A great, great website. Steve, I
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: think the big headline coming out of this weekend is
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: that Marsha Blackburn has declared all out war on independent
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: candidate David Hadley. I've never seen anything like this.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: And what's really interesting is that they're not in the
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: least bit coy about it. I mean, they put up
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: a website, an attack website on independent David Hadley that
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: the campaign has put up. They haven't used a 501c3
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: or c4, a nonprofit, you know, to give them an
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: arm's length distance. The Deadbeat David website is paid for
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: by Marsha for Governor Glenn Jacobs' treasurer. So, I mean, again,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: this puts some taint on Glenn Jacobs, who wants to
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: be a U.S. senator if Marsha wins. They've also started
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: dispatching some protesters at events where David is expected to
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: appear with You know, guys wearing black IRS T-shirts saying, hey,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: we're from the IRS. We're here to collect our money.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: And a guy in like a prison outfit. They had
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: their protesters dispatched on 9-11 at an event honoring emergency responders.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, that is so far below the belt. It
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: is disgusting. But it tells me that Marsha Blackburn and
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: her team are desperately afraid of David Hatley because they
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: claim that they have an inevitable future. ability to win,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: that they are so far ahead, nobody can beat them,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: then why are they doing lowball gutter politics like this
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: if they're so far ahead they can't lose?
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's interesting. I have a theory about that,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: but I want to circle back. You're telling me that
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: because I've seen, I saw the pictures and the videos,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: and you're right, they're sending out people dressed in black
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: and white prison garb, to protest the hatley events and
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: they're also uh distributing statewide wanted posters uh with david
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: hatley's face on it as far as i know there
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: are no warrants out for his arrest but you're telling
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: me this happened at a 9-11 event to honor first
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: responders do we have steve with us yes did you
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: hear me all right yeah i can hear you now steve.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Here's what's also interesting is They're pointing out that when
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: he was bouncing checks, when he was in his early 20s,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: when he had a new business, he was moving funds
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: from one bank to the other, staying just ahead of
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: when the payment would become due. Before electronic transfers, you
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: could get away with that for a while. He got caught,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: got convicted, went to federal prison for a month, and
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: paid $ 35, 000 in restitution. That was the amount of the charges. Meanwhile,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: let's remember, you have Marsha Blackburn, who, according to the
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Tennessee Lookout and other publications, their own records, transferred $ 4
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: million from her Senate campaign funds to her state governor's
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: race funds, which is almost identical to what Brian Kelsey
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: did that sent him to jail. So they're carping about
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: this $ 35, 000, 30-year-ago incident while a year ago they were
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: doing the stuff that sent Brian Kelsey to jail pending
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: a pardon from President Trump involving $ 4 million. Seems to
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: me like a little throwing rocks in a glass house.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: So here's my theory on this. We were checking the
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: latest fundraising numbers, and again, these are fluid. But Hatley,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: the independent, is basically self-funding his campaign. With more than
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: $ 5 million, nearly $ 6 million, Marsha Blackburn cash on hand
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: has $ 2. 6 million. And I think that could be the
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: rub here.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Well, and again, keep in mind that Marsha is taking
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: PAC money. She's got third-party interest groups, pro-voucher groups, pro-AI groups,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: pro-flock camera groups putting millions into her race that they
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: did during the primaries. Atlee is taking no PAC money,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: no lobbyist money, no individual contributions. He has said he
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: will put as much as $ 15 to $ 20 million of
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: his own money into the race. He owns a huge
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: company that he's developed over the years, despite that stumble
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: at the start when he was a young entrepreneur, worth
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: over $ 200 million selling golf carts and doing hot tubs. So, yeah,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: he's got the financial resources. And it's interesting that Marcia
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: and Ward Baker, her consultants, put out a poll through
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: the Beacon Center early that was taken in early August
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: to show her with a lead. Now, she was only
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: at 46% in this poll. She had about a 15-point
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: lead over Jerry Green, the Democrat, who was in the
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: low 20s. But David Hatley hadn't even started at that time.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: So if Marsha was at only 46% at the start
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: with this poll that was a push poll early, where
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: is she going to be once Hatley's numbers start catching up?
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: So yeah, They're desperate to stop his momentum, and they're
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: going to use the gutter lowball politics that I think
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: people don't like, which exposes more about them than I
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: think at this point David Hatley.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Steve, I've got about 40 seconds here. Ninth congressional district,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Pearson and his team putting out stuff around the clock.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: We're not hearing much on the Republican side. Why is that,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: and how are things looking in that ninth congressional race?
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think, again, they put out a poll
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: from Pearson showing that he was within four or six
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: points of Brent Taylor, but it was a Democrat poll
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: and it didn't have any of the crosstabs, so we
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: don't know the details of it. This is to try
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: and tell the national Democrats, hey, put money in this race.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: We can do this. Brent Taylor's working hard on the
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: east side of the district here in the rural counties
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: in the south part of Tennessee over to Williamson County
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: and the Davidson County area, because that's where the bulk
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: of the votes are. That's where the bulk of the
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Republican votes are. But I would raise an alarm bell
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: and say you need to work the West, too.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Got to work at all. It's a big, big district.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Steve Gelb, we're going to have to leave it there. TriStarDaily.com,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. TriStarDaily.com. Go check it out. Steve, thank you.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Hang tight, everybody. John Covington coming up next. And welcome back, everybody.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: I'm Todd Starnes. We are broadcasting in the principal Toyota
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Memphis studio. Hope you are having a great day. By
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: the way, got a note from Novel Memphis on Friday.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: They have more copies of The Golden Age, How Trump
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Saved America. This is my latest book, and you can
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: get copies there. Also, if you don't want to make
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: the trip all the way over to East Memphis, you
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: can go to the Barnes and Nobles in Germantown, Collierville,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: and Wolfchase Galleria, they have plenty of copies there as well.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Wow. The 9-11 attacks 25 years ago on Friday, we
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: had all sorts of memories and coverage on Friday's program.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Here in the Memphis area, the main location for the
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: memorial was the Fire Museum in downtown and just an
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: incredible ceremony there. Leave it to the district attorney, Steve Mulroy,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: to really blow this thing out of the water. Unbelievable.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Steve Mulroy posting a message in his official capacity as
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: the district attorney, and he said that one of the
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: most important lessons that we learned was that Muslim immigrants
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: were demonized. So Mulroy believes that the big story, the
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: big takeaway from what happened on 9-11 was the fact
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: that Muslims were demonized. I want to bring into the
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: conversation our good friend from the Memphis Police Association, John Covington. John,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: good morning. And I know you have a thing or
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: two to say about that. What do you make of
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: this attack on a ball day, September 11th?
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Todd, well, thanks for having me, but I lost it
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: when I saw this. This is so unbelievable. You choose
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: that day of all days. You've got 364 days of
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: the year if you want to attack America or denigrate
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: this amazing country. And I posted to somebody, I sent
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: back and said, hey, look, we're respectful on Stalin's birthday.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: We don't ruin D.A. Mulroy's day by posting anything negative
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: about Stalin. I mean, give me a break. But it
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: was so just it was tone deaf. It was stupid
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: and it was insulting. And I just I just lost
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: it when I saw it.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: You know, this guy, I mean, he's a radical leftist.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: You know, he tries to portray himself as this happy-go-lucky
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Star Wars fan, you know, beam me up, Scotty. But
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: this guy is just as bad as Justin Pearson and
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: all the rest of them.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Well, I think you're right. You know, he comes at
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: you kind of like you say, this kind of dweebish,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: you know. But he's just as hardcore a leftist. And
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: to use your office, you know, your official office to
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: post something like this. Hey, you know, and Todd, I've
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: studied American history. I've taught it. And this is something
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: I thought about. You know, on the anniversary of the
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: day Auschwitz was liberated, I get it. The Germans had
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: a tough time with the Russian army after the war.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: But on that day, I don't want to hear about it.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Speaking of that, did you see the story? We've got
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: it over at Todd Stearns dot com. A Democrat for
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: the statehouse running for the statehouse actually had a photograph
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: taken in front of the ovens at Dachau, the concentration camp. Right.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: And said, that's what we need to do to MAGA supporters.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: And she's doubling down on it. She has no problem
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: saying that we need to send all of the MAGA
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: supporters to death camps. Which is interesting because a few
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: years ago when Bernie Sanders was running, one of his
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: campaign staffers said that if they got elected, they would
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: send all of the Trump supporters to re-education camps. I
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: think we've got to start taking these people pretty darn seriously.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Well, this is coming from a party that's no surprise
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: who's embraced a guy named Hassan Piker who said that
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: America deserved 9-11. You know, and so I.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: That is it. It's become so radical at some point.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: And I've been trying to raise the alarm and Todd,
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: you every day.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: It's time to start.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Listening to these people and take it seriously, because the
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: things they're talking about, their positions are incredibly anti-American and
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: incredibly radical.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: John Covington joining us here in studio today. And by
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: the way, our telephone number, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. John, over
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: the weekend, and it wasn't just here in Shelby County,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Dyer County as well, they had a very serious situation
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: with guns involved at their fair. Here in Shelby County, mayhem.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: They had to suspend the Delta Fair. You've got all
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: of this chaos going on out there. And it's every
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: single time, John, it's the same demographic, mostly black teenagers
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: causing mayhem. How do we fix this problem?
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's a tough one because, well, it's
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: not tough. What am I saying? It's not tough. We
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: have got to be on order. We've got to be strong.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: We've got to take no quarter given. We've got to
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: be fierce out there. And I'm not talking about going beyond.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about being a presence and having that accountability, transparency,
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: just no sympathy given. Oh, these are kids. These are juveniles. No,
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: these are young people who are out of control and
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: If something's not done, if they're not shown some real consequences,
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: they will be the criminals of tomorrow. And so we
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: have got to– and we've made great strides in Memphis
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: and Shelby County on crime, but this issue of this
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: cohort of young people that are out of control, we
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: have got to get focused on it.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, you've got, you know, the Southern Heritage Classic over
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: the weekend. They had the big parade. It was a
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: family-friendly event. The mayor was out there. No problems at all.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: But whenever the lights go down, all you know what
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: breaks loose. And, again, I feel part of me feels
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: for the people who live in downtown. But these people
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: overwhelmingly vote Democrat. And why should we be surprised? Why
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: should they be surprised when City Hall says, you know what,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: we can't fight the criminals, so we're just going to
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: shut down Riverside Drive?
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's tough. Anytime the citizens, the hardworking, taxpaying citizens
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: pay the price for the actions of a group that
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: don't want to follow the rules, who shirk society, that
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: breaks my heart. And it's really unacceptable. And, you know, again,
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: you know, speaking of this kind of Democratic Party, are
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: they going to be holding Shelby County meetings down at
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: 201 at some point? As many people are being indicted
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: down there. And, you know, I always tell people, You know,
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: you see how things are going. And some of my
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Democratic friends and moderates is like, why don't you give
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: the Republicans a chance? Because let me tell you, it
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: could be a lot better.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you on that. Again, it seems as though,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: and you're talking about Will Richardson, who is a brand new,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: just got elected county commissioner, who got arrested on his
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: first day at the first meeting, got arrested. He's facing
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: charges on tax fraud. You've got Erica Sugarmon, and she's
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: facing charges for what she stole somebody's What, campaign signs?
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she was tearing down signs in a race she
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: wasn't going to lose. That makes no sense to me.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: It's insane. These are all Democrats.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what's the common denominator? Democrats. We're seeing, and again,
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: proven innocent until proven guilty, of course, that Tammy Sawyer
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: has been indicted. Once again, time and time again, it's
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: the Democrats. And if they're not being indicted, you know,
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: we had our whole issue with Wanda Halbert. that the
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: incompetence of that situation that, you know, God knows it's
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: going to take us years to kind of climb out
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: of that. So I'm just shocked that so many times
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: reflexively people go in and see that D and they
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: vote for it. It makes no sense to me.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Not none whatsoever. At the same time, though, I think
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: this is where the Republican Party apparatus can come in handy,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: is that they've got to be holding press conferences and
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: getting in front of the And, you know, again, bringing
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: light to all of this stuff. And right now, we
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: just don't have that sort of apparatus in place. Is
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: that an important thing to get out there and say, hey, look, folks, this,
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: you know, there's an alternative here? Absolutely.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: And here locally, you know, there does not need to
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: be necessarily a focus on all the national issues, but
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Republicans and Democrats here locally.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: We got our own problems.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Exactly. And understand, do you want Honesty, competence, trust, accountability, transparency,
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: because you're not getting that now. And I believe that
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: message needs to be carried forward to the Democrats who
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: feel like they have no home because the Democratic Party
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: has become so radical that, you know, you don't have
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: to tell anybody. You don't have to put a sign
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: in your yard. But when you get in that voting booth,
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: punch that R for change and for something better because
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: we deserve it.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: No, absolutely. And again, we have John Covington with us,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: our telephone number, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. I mean, you look
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: at one of the first things you're going to do
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: is start spending more of our money today. The County
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Commission holding its first voting meeting this afternoon, $ 6. 1 million
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: in funding for Wanda Halbert's old office. for what they're
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: calling the stabilization, modernization, and operational improvement of the county
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: clerk's office. What do you think about an idea of
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: a locally focused Doge-style committee to find out what they're
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: doing with all of our tax money?
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: I think it's a fantastic idea because if the county
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: commission's meeting, your tax dollars are being spent, and I
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: can pretty much guarantee they're not being spent efficiently. Now,
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: there's not enough Republicans. We get back to They're holding
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: the line as best they can, but they just don't
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: have the numbers on that county commission. And you're absolutely right.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: I've been around government for a long time as an observer,
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: as an advocate, fighting with, fighting against. And one thing
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: I can tell you is government's not efficient. And no
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: matter how much money they have, they'll find a way
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: to spend it all. And they need to be held accountable.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: You see, this is my concern because I hear that
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: same argument in the U.S. Senate where we actually do
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: have a majority. Right. And they're saying, oh, well, we
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: don't have enough Republicans. You know, well, I get it
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: here locally, but I think that they should you should
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: be screaming from the mountaintops. I agree about the corruption.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, you have to.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, people get involved in their lives and
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: they lose focus and then elections come around. But I'm
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: a believer they need to hear it and see it
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: every day. Because it's that important. And so many people
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: I talk to have opinions, again, I'd say on national politics.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: But then you ask them about locally, they just seem lost.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: And that's the wrong way to view it. Because where
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: the rubber hits the road, you know, if you don't
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: want things like corruption, you don't want county commissioners going
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: to jail, you don't want kids running wild at the fair,
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: there's a way to improve that. You know, the party
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: that's supported the Memphis Safe Task Force is here, and
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: for all the radical talk that we heard about what
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: a disaster was going to be, guess what? We've seen
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: amazing drops in crime. There's still a lot to do,
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: but Just go back and look at what they said
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: it was going to be and what the reality is.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: What I think is funny is people are now saying,
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: the same people screaming about the National Guard being here,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: they're like, where are the National Guard at? How come
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: they're not at the National, you know, the state fair? Well,
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: they were at the fair. You know, they are there.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: But I think it's sort of ironic that now these
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: same folks are out there saying, we need the National
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Guard here.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, well, in law enforcement, people would stick up their
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: middle finger at me one day. And then I'll show,
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: where were you when I caught it? I was like,
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: I got here in three minutes. I don't know. They're
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: mad at me either way.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Wow. Let me ask you. You were at the Germantown
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Festival over the weekend.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Which, again, a free festival, no problems. And thousands of
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: people showing up. What's the difference there? Is it because
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: of law enforcement? Is it the mindset that they're enforcing
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: the law in Germantown?
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: It's a culture change. you know, and it's the culture
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: set by the leaders of that community and the citizens,
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: more importantly, demanded by the citizens of that community. And
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: so you have a feeling things are not going to
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: be allowed. Just like we all, what do we know
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: about Bartlett? You don't speed in Bartlett because Bartlett has
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: set that as the culture. Germantown, Carterville and Arlington and
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: other cities have said, we are not going to stand
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: for this stuff. And guess what? It doesn't happen.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a fair point. And that's a great way
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: to look at it. I'm curious about the The the
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: the booth you guys had, the Republican Party had a
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: booth there. Tell me, what were people coming by? What
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: were they talking about?
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, they were coming by and a lot.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: And they were even Republicans who were just asking questions
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: about who was running, you know, what was going on
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: here locally. But we got a lot of thumbs up
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: and a lot of support. And so I got a
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: lot of questions about the Brent Taylor race. And, you know,
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: we were reminding them, keep your eye on the prize.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Keep working hard because races like that. We can't take
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: anything for granted. And we got a lot of questions
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: about Marcia, a lot of support. So it was very positive.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: So I was pleased to be out there, even though
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: it was slightly warm.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Yes. Laura, I'll pass on that complaint to Laura Huckabee.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that. Yeah, no problem. But again, I think
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: the messaging here is got to unite. We've got to
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: somehow got we've got to light a fire under folks.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: We get out and vote.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: And you said it right. We've got to be a
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: constant voice, not just when an election is coming up,
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: but every day sending out things and confronting and reminding
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: people it can be better. You have a real alternative
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: and real choice. And guess who has been right every
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: step along the way? It's been the Republican Party.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: And KWAM.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: And K-WAM, 100%. I just want to throw that out there.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: And K-WAM is doing that, by the way, but you're
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: the lone guy out there fighting on the frontier. You
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: need some backup.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Well, we do. And, again, I feel bad. This poor guy,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: he's a big Memphis Tiger guy. He's a sports guy.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: I can guarantee he's probably not all that plugged into politics.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: And as pointed out, man, Boise, Idaho is really nice.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: We can walk around downtown. Nobody's smoking weed. Nobody's getting
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: butt naked, you know, and fighting in the middle of
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: the streets.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: I didn't get murdered.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: And and some of the local sports radio hosts are
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: giving this guy hell. And you're like, really, dude? And
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: but again, it's a reminder. We don't have to. This
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: is not normal. You know, this is this is not
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: the way other people have to live. And we don't
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: have to live like this either.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Well, and not to make light of something serious, but
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: it's almost like Shelby County is like the wife who
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: has the abusive husband. Yeah, we do not have to
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: stay in this relationship. It can be better. And move out.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: Move on. Find a man or a partner will treat
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: you right. I got the partner for you, Shelby County.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: It's called the Republican Party.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: And we don't want people hooking up with Fayette County.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Nothing wrong with you folks in Fayette County at all.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: But we want people to stay in Memphis and Shelby County.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: Look, you know, we're losing people at an historic rate
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: out of Memphis and Shelby County. And we have got
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: to stop that. And the way you stop that is
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: first you make it safe. You– real consequences. That's how
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: you build business. That's how you build tax base. And
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: that's how you move forward.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: I think real quick, the last thing here is, and
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: the message for Republicans is, it's not good. I think
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: there's a mindset, we're only going to win four commission
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: seats and that's it. And maybe the suburban, whatever the
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: races are. No, that's the wrong mindset here. And I
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: think we've got to really seriously take a look at
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: how do we strategically win Shelby County, how do we
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: start chipping away? That seems to me to be the
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: big issue facing the party moving forward.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: We got to empower and get our base out there.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: And we have to, as I say, reach out to
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: these Democrats. And I know many of them who feel
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: so lost in their party right now because they don't
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: recognize this 9-11 hating party. America-hating party that they no
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: longer feel at home, and we've got to get them
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: to come vote.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: All right, John Covington, got to take a break, leave
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: it there. Good to hear from you. Yes, sir.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: My pleasure.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: All right, hang tight, everybody. We'll be right back. All right,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: welcome back, and hope you're starting your day off here
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: in the Mid-South cool and comfortably. Wow, what? It's going
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: to be a super hot day. It's going to get
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: hotter in the week. And we are hoping and praying
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: this massive heat dome will eventually dissipate. Laura Huckabee is
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: going to be along in just a little while with
• 35:24

• 35:48
  Speaker 2: done so, you know, sometimes, you know, depending on where
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: you're driving around in the Mid-South, the signal gets a

  Speaker 2: little scratchy. Well, we have a solution for that. It's

• 36:16
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: I want to play some audio here. We were taking
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: a look last week at the RNC convention and whether
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: or not that is going to move the needle. You know,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: we have a lot of races coming up here in
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: the Mid-South. And, of course, two of them are big. Well,
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: there are more congressional races.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: There are three.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: But ultimately, let me just say, the two we need
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: to be taking a very close look at, the 5th
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Congressional and the 9th Congressional District. Now, the Democrats are
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: coming after Brent Taylor, and it is going to be imperative,
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: imperative that all of us get out and support the
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Republican candidates. Unless you want Justin Pearson in the halls
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: of Congress, sweet mercy. Got to get out of here, folks.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: 11 o'clock. We will see you right back here on KWAM.
