• 0:10
  Speaker 1: From Memphis, Tennessee. On the banks of the mighty Mississippi.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: It's America's conservative blowtorch.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: That's us.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: Our love is American.
• 0:28
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 0:29
  Speaker 6: Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starnes Radio Extravaganza. Border
• 0:34
  Speaker 6: to border, coast to coast, across the Fruited Plain. We
• 0:38
  Speaker 6: have a jam-packed show for you today, ladies and gentlemen.
• 0:42
  Speaker 6: Of course, President Trump at the U.N. telling the nations
• 0:46
  Speaker 6: of the world how it is and how it's going
• 0:49
  Speaker 6: to be. Also went after, what is her name? Eyebrows.
• 0:54
  Speaker 6: The eyebrow lady over in St. Caitlin Collins. Over at CNN,
• 0:58
  Speaker 6: they had a little rowdy Dow earlier today, and we've
• 1:02
  Speaker 6: got all of the great audio from that. So Josh Jones,
• 1:05
  Speaker 6: our chief political strategist, will be here from Washington in
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: just a little while. And Mary Walter, who is a
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: Newsmax contributor, she's going to be with us as well.
• 1:16
  Speaker 6: We start off today, though, with a very special guest
• 1:19
  Speaker 6: and a very, really disturbing story. There's a survey that's
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: circulating around... the interwebs. We have it at ToddStearns.com. A
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: shocking number of Democrats now believe that President Trump should
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: be assassinated. They'd be okay if Trump were assassinated. Another
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: jaw-dropping number of Democrats also believe that they would be
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: okay if President Trump, I don't know, passed away in
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: his sleep. I mean, this is some very disturbing information,
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: but it also gives us some insight into who the
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: Democrats are. 55% of Democrats would view positively if Donald
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: Trump dies in his sleep. This is according to a
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: survey conducted by the Democrat-leaning Center for Strategic Policies. Nearly 60%
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: of Democrats would view positively if he's removed by military leaders.
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: In other words, a coup. Ladies and gentlemen, I know
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: a lot of you are saying, what the heck is
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: going on here? Well, I'll tell you what's happening. We've
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: been watching the rise of communism in this country for
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: quite some time, coming through our nation's education system, and
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: now the Democrats are beginning to think like the communists.
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: Instead of just silencing or defeating points of view they
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: disagree with, they want to destroy those points of view.
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: And when you start to understand that, you start to
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: understand what really happened to Charlie Kirk in Utah over
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: one year ago. So this is a very disturbing thing,
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: and yet as we march toward the midterms, it's another
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: reminder of how vitally important it is to elect Republicans
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: of all shapes, sizes, and persuasions. And we have one
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: of those Republicans joining us in studio today, the former
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: Ag Commissioner for the great state of Tennessee. He's running
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: for the 5th Congressional District, Charlie Hatcher, joining us. Charlie,
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: good to have you with us.
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: Well, good morning. It's good to be here, and I
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: agree with everything you just said.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's a dangerous thing that we're playing around
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: with here, Charlie, and it concerns me that many Republican
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: voters are not taking seriously what could happen in this country.
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah, this is a crazy world, and I think that's
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: the right message. We need to get voter turnout. I'm
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: not taking this general election for granted. I'm going to
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: work for it just like I did the primary, and
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: we need to get voters out. A low turnout is
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: not a good thing.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: I was reading some studies yesterday, getting ready for today's show,
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: and the thought process is that what's happening here in
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: Tennessee is good. the redistricting will actually add, they believe
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: it's going to add an additional Republican seat to Congress.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: And honest to goodness, we need that based on what
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: I'm seeing happening in other states.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we do.
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: And I think Tennessee's going to deliver. I mean, we
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: need to come forth with nine Republican congressmen, and that
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: will be a good thing. And I think Tennessee will
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: do that. I don't know what It's going to be
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: a tough general election with the economy and everything else
• 4:39
  Speaker 7: that's going on, but I'm optimistic about that.
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: I'm curious about the big issues that you're hearing about.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: You've been traveling the state. You've been talking to a
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: lot of folks. Your district is a big, big farming
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: district as well, a lot of agriculture. What are you hearing?
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: What's on the minds of the voters?
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: Well, the top issues, number one is cost of living,
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: cost of production. We're feeling that even on the farm there,
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: the cost of diesel fuel. So that's the top issue
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: that I hear everywhere I go. Number two is infrastructure.
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: And then number three, one of my favorites is the
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: federal government itself. We need to reduce regulations. We need
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: to balance the budget. The debt, oh my, is out
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: of control. And then just Because it's in my wheelhouse,
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: food security is national security. So those are kind of
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: the three or four major things that I'm hearing that
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: I'm dealing with.
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: One of the things, if nothing else, that I appreciate
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: coming from Robert Kennedy and the Maha movement is the
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: fact that when I walk into a supermarket now, I
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: look to see what's on the back of the ingredients there.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: I think that's important for folks to know that their
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: food is coming from a good place and it's not
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: loaded up with a lot of chemicals and stuff. How
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: do you feel about how the administration has been addressing
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: that issue?
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: I love what they've done, turning the American Dietary Guidelines
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: upside down and putting whole milk, dairy fat, and red
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: meat on top of the pyramid. I think that was
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: the thing to do, and that's what I've been doing
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: my whole life.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: I want to play some audio here. This is from
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: the Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins. She was on a
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: podcast yesterday, and a lot of people have really been
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: concerned about the price of food, and especially beef. And
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: I've got a couple of beef questions, Charlie, and I
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: suspect you may have a beef with the beef. But
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: this is the Secretary explaining what Americans should do if
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: they can't afford to buy a pound of ground beef.
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: Cut 23, please.
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: But if it is too expensive, unlike fuel binning, you
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: can eat chicken, pork, salmon, eggs. There are other sources
• 6:42
  Speaker 8: of really good protein. And all of those prices are
• 6:45
  Speaker 8: coming down as well. So it isn't necessarily breaking out there.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: And listen, I'm a mom of four.
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: I'm still feeding a whole bunch of kids, very hungry kids.
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: We realize the price of groceries are too high. We're
• 6:58
  Speaker 8: doing everything we can to bring them down after the
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: Biden years of crazy, crazy inflation.
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: All right. So I did a little bit of research.
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: It turns out the price of chicken is higher today
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: than it was under the Biden administration, as was the
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: cost of pork. And you think that explanation is going
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: to go over well with moms who want to feed
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: their kids a hamburger?
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: No, probably not. But she's right about different forms of protein.
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: So I was at the grocery store yesterday. I got
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: two pounds of turkey, ground turkey, for $ 8. So that's
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: $ 4 a pound. So I think there's things that they
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: can do. But yeah, you know, the price of meat
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: across the board has increased.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: The president saying one solution is to bring in beef
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: from other countries. How do you feel about that?
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: Well, I've released a statement on social media about it.
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: I didn't like it. You know, one of the bright
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: spots in agriculture is the beef cattle business, and a
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: lot of the dairy business is dependent on what we're
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: calling beef on dairy, and in that and that's helping us.
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: So when the president announced that, and some of it
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: was in the messaging, we import a lot of beef anyhow,
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: but it's just the way that it was rolled out.
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: Probably wouldn't have had that big an impact, but the
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: market went down almost immediately and kind of knocked the
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: legs out of some of the cattlemen.
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: So a lot of cattle farmers here. What exactly are
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: you hearing from them, and what are they concerned about?
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: The price of diesel. I mean, it's a record high
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: They've got to put it in their tractor, their grain trucks,
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: their combines, their pickup trucks. And so they feel that
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: every day.
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: When you get to Congress– and again, it's looking like
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: this is going to be pretty much a clean sweep
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: for Republicans here. You don't want to jinx it, but
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: if you get to Washington– Are you going to be
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: one of those whatever President Trump wants, President Trump gets lawmakers?
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: Or are you going to be more focused on Tennessee's
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: 5th Congressional District? Or can you do both?
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: Well, I'm going to try to do both. It's called
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: the House of Representatives, and that's what I mean to do.
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: And I've traveled the district and met people where they are.
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: I think I understand the issues. I'm going to be
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: more of a common-sense person. type person to get the
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: work done with my background as a farmer and veterinarian
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: as commissioner of agriculture, I've got a lot of experience
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: in that. So I aim to take that experience and
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: those life experiences and make the right decisions based on
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: what's best for the district in my mind. So I
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: won't always agree with President Trump. I don't think there's
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: anybody that does on every single issue, but I'm generally
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: supportive of the major policies that he's doing.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: I want to go back to the primary. Clearly, Republican
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: voters were not happy with their incumbent congressman. And that's
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: a very rare thing for an incumbent to go down
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: in defeat in the primary. What is it that was
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: problematic with the congressman? What was he not doing, and
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: why is it that Republicans decided, you know what, we're
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: going to go with Charlie Hatcher?
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: Well, I think one of the big issues was fundraising.
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: I mean, Andy was not a good fundraiser, and I
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: think that hurt him at every level. That hurt him
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: at D.C., that hurt him locally, that hurt him at
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: state when he was running. So that's one of the things.
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: And then one thing I heard over and over again,
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: constituent services was not the best, and that's what I
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: hope to focus on as well.
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: You see, I think from the voter standpoint, I think
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: that's it is the, you know, the constituent services, you know,
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: the day-to-day stuff, you know, and I know it may
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: seem mundane to a lot of folks, but you've kind
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: of built a reputation in the state of Tennessee of
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: being a guy that looks after, you know, you pay
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: attention to the detail.
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's right. When I traveled around the district,
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: they don't want to be forgotten, especially those in the
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: rural counties and far away from Williamson and Nashville where
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: the where the general center of the state is. And
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: so I'm not going to forget about them. I'm going
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: to continue. I'm one of them. I'm a farmer that
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: knows what they're going through. I'm for the average working man,
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: and I want to make a difference.
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: Can we talk about your opponent for a second? This
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: guy confuses me. Chas Mulder is his name. He's a Democrat,
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: longtime mayor, what, in Columbia, Tennessee?
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: And this guy, he put out an ad. I don't
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: know if you've seen it.
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I have. It's confusing to me, too. He's running
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: on a similar platform as I am, which seems, well,
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: I thought to myself, well, maybe he should run in
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: the Republican primary.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: I never met you until today, and I thought, oh,
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: this must be Charlie Hatcher. But because, again, he was
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: sitting around the table with his wife, his three children.
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: Nobody had magenta hair. There were no nose rings. And
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: I think they were praying to Jesus. I mean, the
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: guy's a Methodist. a Methodist in good standing. And I'm
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: sitting here, what is going on here? He certainly seems
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: like he's a conservative, but I know you guys have
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: been doing some digging. What have you guys discovered?
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: Well, I think today's Democratic Party is not the southern
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: yellow dog conservative Democrats of years ago. I mean, it's
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: left-leaning socialists all the way to communists. So, I mean,
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: that in itself, I don't think he can deliver on
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: what he's running on in the new Democratic Party. I
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: just don't see it.
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: The concern I would look at is what just happened
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: in Virginia. Abigail Spanberger ran as one of those yellow dogs.
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: They say whatever they say, and then they flip.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's exactly what happened here. And I think
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: people in Virginia have buyer's remorse.
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: Well, we need to remind people the same thing could
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: happen here.
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Charlie Hatcher joining us in studio. His website, charliehatcher.com,
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: running for Congress today. Uh, look, um, this is, it's,
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: it's an exciting time in politics. Uh, no doubt about it. There, there,
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: there are a lot of big problems facing the country
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: and we need people that are going to go to
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: Congress that are going to be able to help resolve
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: some of those big issues for you. What would you
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: say is the biggest issue, Charlie?
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: Well, well, we've talked about it some already. It's cost
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: of living and cost of energy. And that's, uh, that's
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: going to be one of the focuses. And, and then
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: federal government, I want to begin to work on that.
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: That's easier said than done to regulations, uh, the reckless spending, the, the, uh, the,
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: the debt is out of control. Those are some major issues.
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: And then food security is national security. I want to
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: weigh in on that. I've got a lot of experience
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: with it. And so I hope to bring that to
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: the table.
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: One of the things I loved, uh, Tim Burchett, you know,
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: our friend out in East Tennessee, um, doing the big doge.
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: He's what chair of the, um, the doge committee there
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: in the house. What do you think about those efforts
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: to try and just, again, crack down on all this
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: out of control spending?
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: I love that. And Tim and I are friends and we're, uh,
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: A fellow, we believe the same things, and I hope
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: to get elected and work with him.
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: Are you going to come up with the clever sayings
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: and stuff that he's got?
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: Well, I don't know. I'm a little bit redneck, or
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: a whole lot redneck, and he's just partial redneck. He's partial.
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: We might start a redneck coalition or something.
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: Oh, I love that. A redneck caucus.
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: I love this.
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah, with common sense.
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: And you know, I didn't realize the guy's like, he's
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: older than I am, but he's riding around D.C. on
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: his own skateboards. Did you know this?
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: I haven't seen that.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: You don't?
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: Seriously he's he makes skateboards and uh and he well i.
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: Knew that i knew that he was yeah yeah there
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: was a little the whole uh skateboard controversy i.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: Didn't want to tell him like congressman you're a little
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: bit too old for that you know we need you
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: in one piece.
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: We don't need him to fall down and get hurt.
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: No we don't redneck caucus this may be the breaking
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: news coming out of this interview today well i.
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: I kind of yes but that may be that's I
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: might be one.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: Congressman, we really do appreciate you dropping by. And you're
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: the real deal. And I love your platform. Love what
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: you're doing for the farmers here in Tennessee. That's a
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: big deal. I will say this. Your opponent did show
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: up wearing a Ripley tie, like the Ripley tomato tie.
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: So I wasn't sure what that was all about. But
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: just FYI, I think he's trying to go after the
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: ag vote.
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he needs to. He needs to cater to that.
• 15:26
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: Charlie, good to see you. We'd love to get you
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: back in very soon. Okay. Charlie Hatcher, ladies and gentlemen,
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: running for Congress, charliehatcher.com. He's one of the good guys. And, folks,
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: we'll see how this election plays out. But I am
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: feeling very good, very good about our chances here.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: Got to take a break.
• 15:44
  Speaker 10: 901-260-5926.
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: That's 901-260-5926. Coming up, going right to New York, the
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: United Nations, this is the Todd Stern Show. All right.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: Welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show.
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: So a couple of things about President Trump, who's really
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: doing a terrific job there at the United Nations. I
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: got to tell you that I'm bothered by what happened
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: yesterday when the president went to visit Zoran Mamdami at
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: Gracie Mansion. And basically, it was a love fest. And
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: I've got a problem with the President of the United
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: States standing side by side with a man who hates America,
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: with a man who laughed and giggled while the names
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: of dead Americans were being read at the 9-11 memorial.
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: I've got a problem with President Trump giving any sort
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: of credibility to to a man who is a Marxist,
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: a man who is a political Islamist, a man who
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: pals around with terrorists. I've got a big problem with that.
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: And I don't know about you, but watching the president
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: lavishing praise on Zohra Mamdami made me sick to my stomach.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: It made me sick to my stomach. There are some
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: days you just have to throw your hands up and say, Mr. President,
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: what the heck? What the heck, Mr. President? What are
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: you doing? Why are you doing this? And I get it.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: I understand the president says he loves New York City
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: and he wants the very best for New York City.
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: I get that. But are you telling me that the
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: very best is socialism? The very best is communism? I
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: don't think so. But it's a very disturbing thing that
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: is happening, ladies and gentlemen. A very disturbing thing. And
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: I don't know who is advising President Trump right now,
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: but the president needs new advisors. I mean, it's appalling
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: to think that somebody in the White House thought this
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: was a good idea. And I'm curious to hear your
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: thoughts on it. I don't think I'm off base on this.
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: But what do you think about President Trump... and having
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: the bromance with Zoran Mamdami. 901-260-5926, our number. That's 901-260-5926.
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: This is the Todd Stern Show.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: Welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show.
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: And Dorothea writing out on our social media page, Todd,
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: I feel the same way seeing Trump yuck it up
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: with Mamdami. Makes me feel sick. It does. I mean, Mr. President,
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: come on now. Can we go back to Brooke Rollins
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: for just a moment? Brooke Rollins, the Agriculture Secretary. And
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: she's telling Americans, you know what, if you can't afford
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: ground beef, why don't you try chicken? Nobody wants to
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: bring this up, but the price of chicken and pork
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: is actually higher now than it was before under the
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: old president, the auto pen president. I'm sorry, but it's true.
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: We did the research. We looked it up. But this
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: is the messaging coming out of the administration. If you
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: can't afford a hamburger, eat chicken. You complain about the
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: gas prices, what, do you hate America? National security. If
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: you want lower gas prices, that means you're opposed to
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: strong national security. Wait, what? Who said that? Unbelievable. That's,
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: by the way, Senator Roger Marshall. calling out all you
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: people complaining about high gas prices, and he said that
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: national security is more important than your bank account. Okay.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: All right. Look, let me tell you something. That messaging
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: out on the campaign trail, that's how Republicans lose elections. No,
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: here's the exact quote. I'm sorry gas prices are going up,
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: but your national security is more important than your pocketbook.
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: I mean, how much more condescending can you possibly be?
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: But that's– look, I'm just telling you, and this is why–
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: I didn't realize this had gone viral. Wow. But I
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: just wrote this on X, and I want to read
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: it to you. I'm not entirely convinced that House or
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: Senate Republicans really want to stay in the majority. I mean,
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: it's possible that the GOP political consultants and their candidates
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: are really that incompetent. But what we are watching is
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: political malpractice. And if I didn't know any better, the
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: Republicans are trying to throw the midterms. That's what I
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: think is going on. Not all of them, but enough.
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: We only need to lose about, what, five or six?
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: I don't know, five or six of these races, and
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: we're in trouble, ladies and gentlemen. Let's go to Anna
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: in Dahlonega, Georgia, listening to us on WGUN. Anna, what's
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: on your mind today?
• 21:31
  Speaker 11: I have a theory, Todd, about him meeting with Mdami.
• 21:37
  Speaker 11: I think he went over there. He knows he wants
• 21:41
  Speaker 11: to jail Bibi. I know he wants to jail him.
• 21:46
  Speaker 11: And he probably went over there and said, here's what
• 21:49
  Speaker 11: I'm going to tell you, Mdami. If that man has
• 21:53
  Speaker 11: a hair on his head going the wrong direction, you're
• 21:58
  Speaker 11: going to have a problem. I really feel that that's
• 22:03
  Speaker 11: the way he does things. He doesn't come out and
• 22:05
  Speaker 11: say things to the public or to the news at all.
• 22:13
  Speaker 11: He will say it to Mondami because he knows it's possible.
• 22:18
  Speaker 11: So I think that's what he did. I think he
• 22:20
  Speaker 11: went over there.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: But, Anna, I hear what you're saying, but you know what?
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: You can do that behind the scenes with a phone call.
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: You don't need to go out there and display your
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: bromance in front of the entire nation and really in
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: front of the entire world. I mean, that was just,
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: it was weird and creepy.
• 22:40
  Speaker 11: Well, maybe it was, but you have to think past
• 22:43
  Speaker 11: a lot of things with Donald Trump. You really do.
• 22:47
  Speaker 11: And you have to think, you know, Mondami, he's a terrorist. Now,
• 22:53
  Speaker 11: that's what he is. We don't want another 9-11, only
• 22:57
  Speaker 11: this time for B.B.
• 22:59
  Speaker 12: To come down.
• 23:00
  Speaker 11: But I really, I know what you're saying. I felt
• 23:03
  Speaker 11: it too, but then I started thinking. I thought, now,
• 23:06
  Speaker 11: why in the hell? Why would he go in there?
• 23:09
  Speaker 11: That's the only reason he would do that is to tell, don't,
• 23:14
  Speaker 11: because look at Mondami's face. when he came out of there.
• 23:19
  Speaker 11: I mean, I think he told them, in no uncertain terms,
• 23:23
  Speaker 11: don't even think about it, buddy, because you're going down
• 23:27
  Speaker 11: if that's what happened. And when they came out, you know,
• 23:32
  Speaker 11: Mamdani could have said something to the press about the president.
• 23:39
  Speaker 11: He could have said something about it, because that's his style.
• 23:43
  Speaker 11: But Trumpy... He's a different kind of animal. He is
• 23:47
  Speaker 11: a complete— and just think about that just for a minute.
• 23:51
  Speaker 11: And it's tough.
• 23:53
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: All right, Anna. Look, I appreciate the call, and it
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: is something to think about. By the way, here's—now, here
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: on the other side is Benjamin Netanyahu, and he had
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: a few things to say about Mamdani. Let's take a listen.
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: Shame on you, Mr.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Mamdani.
• 24:09
  Speaker 10: Shame on you for supporting the Hamas terrorist monsters who
• 24:13
  Speaker 10: butchered our people. Shame on you for inciting riots against
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: New York Jews. I'm coming to the UN. I'm going
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: to tell the truth about our heroic soldiers. And I'm
• 24:23
  Speaker 10: going to tell the truth about you.
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: I like how Netanyahu framed it. That's what I like.
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.
• 24:34
  Speaker 13: So.
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: Last night on CNN, Scott Jennings got put on the spot.
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: And there's a lot to talk about here. We're going
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: to play this bit of audio. So as it now stands,
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: the reporters from CNN, PMS now, and Politico, are not
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: allowed to be a part of the White House pool reporting.
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: They cannot work in the White House anymore. So they're
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: all across the street. They've set up in a homeless
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: encampment for journalists, undocumented journalists, across over in Lafayette Park.
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: That's where they're at. So now.
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: Trump is having some fun with these reporters. And I
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: want to get to, we'll play this first. This is
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: President Trump arriving at the U.N. and starts clowning on
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: CNN and eyebrows. Caitlin Collins, Cut19. So it's an honor
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: to be here. I'm surprised that CNN is here covering me.
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: You shouldn't be here. You should not be here covering me.
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: You said you weren't going to cover me. You shouldn't
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: be covering me. But I will tell you, it is
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: an honor to.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Be at the United Nations, and we're making a lot
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: of progress. Our country is doing really, really well.
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: Thank you very much, everybody. There we go. And then
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: just a few minutes ago, the vice president had a
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: little bit of fun. Take a listen to the VP.
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: And with that, I have my notes here that I'm
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: supposed to take questions from CNN and Politico. Anybody from
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: CNN and Politico here?
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: No?
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 26:15
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: Oh, geez. Where were you? I mean, look, they're not
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: banned from going to these kinds of events. I mean,
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: you just heard CNN's eyebrow reporter out there, you know,
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: yammering and yelling at Trump. By the way, so the
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: national media is all over my X feed today, I
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: guess since last week when the New York Times had
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: quoted me in a story. And so now all the
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: national media, they're in the feed and they're pulling things
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: I've set out. And so I'm And they've accused me
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: of attacking Fox News when, in fact, I'm simply pointing
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: out who Fox News really is and who they've always been.
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: Even when I was there, the news division, the news
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: side of Fox News Channel, not the primetime host, but
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: the actual news division, everybody knew they were to the
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: left of CNN. I mean, they got some radical lefties
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: over there. No doubt about it. But here is my
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: recommendation that has now caused a big stink. Because ultimately,
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: that White House press briefing is basically reality TV now.
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: All the reporters... They have their hair professionally done, the
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: makeup applied, and they're waiting to ask those gotcha questions.
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: So it's really not about getting pertinent information. It's about
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: getting that gotcha question and the reaction from the White House.
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: So then you get all the clicks. So that's all
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: this is. So here's my recommendation. If CNN and Politico
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: and PMS now really are that concerned about getting news
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: and information, here's what I recommend. They write their questions down.
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: on a piece of paper. They submit that. Maybe there's
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: a box. Instead of having a podium, there's a box,
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: and there's a little slit, a hole, and they can
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: stick their question in the hole, and then a staffer,
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: a White House staffer, will type up a response and
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: then present it back to the reporter. How do you think... No,
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: I'm serious, Don. How do you think that would.
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: How do you think that would go over? Oh, I
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: don't think that. I know. I know they'd be unhappy
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: about that because they want their time and they want
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: that FaceTime. That's what they want. They're not after the truth.
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: And Trump knows it. And that's why. And by the way,
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: Trump also knows this. CNN, they are addicted to Donald J.
• 28:43
  Speaker 15: Trump.
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: They really are. 901-260-5926. I'm going to get back to
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: Scott Jennings in just a minute. I want to go
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: to Roberto listening to us in Memphis, Tennessee on KWAM. Hi, Roberto.
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: What's on your mind?
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: Hey, Todd.
• 28:59
  Speaker 12: I just want to remind you that the gas price
• 29:02
  Speaker 12: increase we're feeling right now is probably temporary under any
• 29:07
  Speaker 12: conservative slash Republican administration. They're very fossil fuel friendly, and
• 29:12
  Speaker 12: the price of gas usually goes down during those administrations.
• 29:15
  Speaker 12: But under a liberal-slash-Democrat administration, the price of fossil fuels
• 29:20
  Speaker 12: always goes up and stays up because they are very
• 29:23
  Speaker 12: unfriendly to fossil fuels. Plus all the other things that
• 29:26
  Speaker 12: go with a liberal-Democrat administration. So I don't like the
• 29:30
  Speaker 12: price of gas, and to be honest, I live on
• 29:32
  Speaker 12: Social Security. I'm retired, and it's been hard on me,
• 29:35
  Speaker 12: but I'm willing to take it for a little while and...
• 29:40
  Speaker 12: the hope that it will come back down to $ 1. 78
• 29:43
  Speaker 12: like it was in, I believe, October of 2020. So
• 29:48
  Speaker 12: I know it's hard. I know it's hurting people. And
• 29:50
  Speaker 12: it's because the price effect, the gas price effect, pork,
• 29:54
  Speaker 12: the eggs, the beef, all of it.
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: Well, let me give you.
• 29:57
  Speaker 12: Roberto.
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: Let me give you an example here of what you're saying.
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: Right now, for example, in Tennessee, there's a flat state
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: tax of, I think, it's roughly 27 cents per gallon.
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: That's the tax. So in California right now, The taxes
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: there and the fees are 73.6 cents a gallon. So
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: before you're even paying for the gas, when you go
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: to California and you fill up, and I'm going to
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: be in California for 10 days starting next, well, this
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: coming Saturday, I'm going to be paying 73.6 cents per
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: gallon just in fees.
• 30:37
  Speaker 12: About is the democrats will make it much harder for
• 30:40
  Speaker 12: fossil fuels to have a low price because it makes
• 30:42
  Speaker 12: it easier for it to compete with their green energy
• 30:45
  Speaker 12: that's one of the reasons plus they just hate fossil
• 30:48
  Speaker 12: fuels for whatever reason but but i just want to
• 30:50
  Speaker 12: remind you this is probably temporary now can i guarantee
• 30:54
  Speaker 12: it's going to come back down no but i'm hoping
• 30:57
  Speaker 12: that after the elections whether he has to put the
• 31:00
  Speaker 12: big hammer down or we get a deal with iran
• 31:03
  Speaker 12: Once the global oil market stabilizes, we should see gas
• 31:07
  Speaker 12: prices around $ 2. 50 in America. Plus, in America, we pay
• 31:11
  Speaker 12: way less for gas than other places in the world.
• 31:14
  Speaker 12: In fact, like half many places.
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: No, no, no.
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: Look, I think the bigger issue, and trust me, gas
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: prices are high. And I don't think anybody, I don't
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: think that's a good selling point for folks, Roberto. I
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: think that the American people saw gas prices go down.
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: when Trump came into office, and they want them to
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: go back to that point. It's going to be a while.
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: This war has been going on for six months. I
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: don't see that ending. And that is going to have
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: an impact on gas prices. The bigger problem is diesel fuel.
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: And you heard Charlie Hatcher talking about that. He's running
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: for Congress. Diesel prices impact every single thing that you
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: buy at the supermarket and the department store. And that,
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: I think, is the big challenge.
• 32:01
  Speaker 12: And part of that's because of the world price of diesel.
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 32:05
  Speaker 12: Who makes most of the diesel in the world. I mean,
• 32:07
  Speaker 12: we make our diesel, but Russia makes diesel for the
• 32:10
  Speaker 12: rest of the world. And so I think, too, I
• 32:11
  Speaker 12: want to say that Iran is just playing the waiting game,
• 32:14
  Speaker 12: hoping for a Democratic administration, maybe in midterms, they may
• 32:19
  Speaker 12: try to wait until the next presidential election. I don't
• 32:21
  Speaker 12: know how long they can wait. But I do know this, that.
• 32:27
  Speaker 12: I think that prices of gas will eventually come down
• 32:30
  Speaker 12: if and when this Iran war is over. I want
• 32:33
  Speaker 12: to take up your time, Todd.
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: No, no, no.
• 32:35
  Speaker 12: I appreciate what you do.
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: Well, Roberto, thank you. Let me ask you this before
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: we let you go, Roberto. Are you going to be
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: voting in the midterm elections?
• 32:43
  Speaker 12: Oh, 100%. I will early vote. There's no doubt. That's
• 32:45
  Speaker 12: exactly what I'll do, and I'll vote. Todd, I hate
• 32:49
  Speaker 12: to say this. I consider myself a Christian and say
• 32:52
  Speaker 12: I don't believe I could ever vote for a Democrat
• 32:55
  Speaker 12: just for the simple issue of abortion, just that one,
• 32:59
  Speaker 12: let alone all the rest of them, because no Democrat
• 33:02
  Speaker 12: can ever really come out and condemn abortion or try
• 33:04
  Speaker 12: to stop it because their own party will turn on them.
• 33:07
  Speaker 12: So that's, you know, I mean, I vote on many
• 33:10
  Speaker 12: other issues, but that one right there would stop me
• 33:13
  Speaker 12: from ever voting for a Democrat.
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm telling you right now, this survey that came out,
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: we were talking about in the first half hour of
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: the show, That ought to concern all of us. These
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: Democrats are very dangerous people now. When you've got one-third,
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: and I want to read this from Steve Scalise. Roberto,
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: I'm going to let you go, but thank you, and
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: God bless you for listening. Thank you for that. Steve
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: Scalise says this. This is how insane today's Democrat Party is.
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: Nearly one-third of Democrats said they'd feel positively if President
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: Trump were publicly assassinated. A majority said they would support
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: a military coup. And Steve Scalise says socialists have taken
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: over and the stakes this November could not be higher.
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: Ladies and gentlemen, I write about this in The Golden Age,
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: that if we do not take back our nation's education system,
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: we will lose the republic. It is very simple. We
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: have a generation of young people that were raised in
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: an education system that said America is evil and so
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: is President Trump, and it's okay to kill people that
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: you disagree with. That is communism. And this poll should
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: be a wake-up call to every freedom-loving American patriot. And
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: there's more to this poll. We'll get to it. Got
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: to take a break, though.
• 34:37
  Speaker 10: 901-260-5926.
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, welcome back.
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: We're going to get to the Scott Jennings audio right
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: after the top of the hour. So I went a
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: little bit too long in the last segment. So hang tight.
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: We're going to get to all of that. Also, we're
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: going to be getting to your calls as well. Josh
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: Jones is coming up, our chief political strategist. as well
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: as Mary Walter. We're also following the president's visit to
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: New York City. And I will say this, the president,
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: large and in charge, as our good friend Robin Walensky
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: often reminds us, the president's large and in charge. I
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: want to remind you, ladies and gentlemen, and again, we
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: talk about this survey, and we've got the story up
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: at toddstearns.com. the Center for Strategic Politics. And this is
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: really a direct reflection of what the teachers' unions are doing,
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: and they have radicalized these school classrooms. And it is
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: so important, and I write about this in the book,
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: How Trump Saved America, The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America,
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: that we will lose the republic if we do not
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: abolish the Department of Education's and equip local communities to
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: take back their schools. I want to take that a
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: step further, and I want to hear your thoughts on this.
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: I believe that not only should we be homeschooling our kids,
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: but every church in America should consider ways to turn
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: their church facility into a school, a Christian school. Every
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: single church in America. You know, they've done this so
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: well over in Lancaster, California. Lancaster Baptist Church starting a
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: K-12 Christian school. They started a college, West Coast Baptist College.
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: Ladies and gentlemen, I think it's time for Christians to
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: take firm control of educating our kids.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: 901-260-5926.
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: That's our telephone number. Hang tight. Got to take a break.
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: We'll be right back.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: From Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun-toting, Bible-clinging, deplorable American.
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: That's us. That's right. I love this American ride.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Todd Starr.
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 37:36
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: Hello, everybody. So CNN, PMS Now, and Politico still very butthurt.
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: May as well throw in Fox News. As well, Fox News,
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: of course, leading the charge. It turned out to be
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: the guy in charge of the Washington Bureau. His name
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: is Brian Boughton is his name. Brian Boughton is his name.
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: Did I get that right, Dylan? Brian Boughton is his name.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: I think you're pretty spot on.
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: It's hard to say the guy. It hurts to say
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: the guy's name. But he's a lefty at Fox. And
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: he actually wrote the letter. Brian wrote the letter that
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: was published by the New York Slimes yesterday stating that
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: they would be boycotting Trump's events. You know, it's interesting
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: because I don't think anybody even knows that the boycott's happening.
• 38:37
  Speaker 14: Right?
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: I mean, Trump is still, you know, he's out there.
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: We see him on camera. He's answering questions. You wonder
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: if this is really going the way that Brian and
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: his friends thought it was going to go. So anyway,
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: CNN decided to ask their very own conservative. And I
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: put that in. So have you seen Scott Jennings is
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: not a conservative. He's a moderate at best. You know,
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: he pals around with people like Mitch McConnell and the Bushes.
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: So he's an establishment guy. I'm not saying there's anything
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: wrong with him, but he's not a conservative, and he's
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: certainly not an America First conservative, nor is he MAGA.
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: And I've heard Scott Jennings, he gets very upset when
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: conservatives make fun of his friends at socials. CNN, like,
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: what's her name, Eyebrows Collins, Caitlin Collins, or Don Lemon,
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: or Anderson Cooper, and the list goes on. Jennings gets
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: very upset. As a matter of fact, we were speaking
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: at the same conference together. This was Young America's Foundation.
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: And the way it works, you deliver your speech, and
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: then you take questions from the students. And you never
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: know what the questions are going to be. You never
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: know what– and that's the fun part of it, right?
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: So I always call those sessions stumpsterns because, you know,
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: the kids are trying to get you to goof up.
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: It's part of the shtick. So anyway, Jennings gets up there,
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: and he delivers the speech. It was an all right speech.
• 40:12
  Speaker 6: And so he then takes questions, and someone asked what
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: it was like to have to work with all these
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: raging leftists. over at CNN, and Jennings really got upset,
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: and he was lecturing the students about how he doesn't
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: tolerate people talking bad or talking smack about his friends.
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: Does that sound like a conservative to you? Because if
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: it had been me up there, I would have spilled
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: the beans. So anyway, CNN yesterday put Scott Jennings on
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: the spot. He thinks these people are his friends. They
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: are not his friends. He is a useful tool for
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: these people, but he's not a conservative. He is not.
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: And the challenge here is that his name is being
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: thrown around as being the replacement for Caroline Leavitt, the
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: White House press secretary, and that is a very, very,
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: very bad idea. But anyway, they asked Scott Jennings yesterday
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: what he thinks about the ban, Trump banning CNN from
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: the White House. Cut 17.
• 41:23
  Speaker 16: Scott, I don't know if you know this, but your
• 41:25
  Speaker 16: name is up for running for the next press secretary.
• 41:29
  Speaker 16: So do you support the president's ban on the press?
• 41:34
  Speaker 14: I think he's unlikely to prevail in court. A. B.
• 41:38
  Speaker 14: It seems to me the net result of this has
• 41:40
  Speaker 14: been he has less reach. I mean, his message is
• 41:44
  Speaker 14: not going to get out as much. If this sort
• 41:46
  Speaker 14: of becomes the way it is, he will be seen
• 41:48
  Speaker 14: and heard by fewer people, which I think is actually
• 41:51
  Speaker 14: a net negative since he's his own best spokesperson and
• 41:53
  Speaker 14: his own best press secretary. Number three, I actually think
• 41:56
  Speaker 14: sparring with some of these folks in the Oval works
• 41:59
  Speaker 14: to his advantage. And so if you take them out,
• 42:01
  Speaker 14: you lose that a little bit. So my view is
• 42:05
  Speaker 14: this is unlikely to stick based on what I'm not
• 42:08
  Speaker 14: a lawyer either, but based on what I've heard, it's
• 42:10
  Speaker 14: unlikely to stick. And it may be a little self-defeating
• 42:14
  Speaker 14: if you consider that you want the president to be
• 42:16
  Speaker 14: heard and seen more like I do. This seems to
• 42:19
  Speaker 14: be working against that. So Secretary, you're not.
• 42:22
  Speaker 16: Going to do that.
• 42:23
  Speaker 6: Is that what you're pledging here right now?
• 42:24
  Speaker 13: I'm not.
• 42:25
  Speaker 7: I'm not answering.
• 42:25
  Speaker 14: You're not going to single out any. So can I
• 42:28
  Speaker 14: add one more thing? Actually, I think there's a difference
• 42:31
  Speaker 14: between truthfully CNN and Politico and MS. Now you watch MS.
• 42:35
  Speaker 14: Now for 10 minutes, like total alternate reality. I actually
• 42:39
  Speaker 14: think there's a difference.
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: Some people might say that about Fox.
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Obama, he said that about Fox. But he didn't
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: kick him out, did he?
• 42:45
  Speaker 16: Do you support the president's ban on the press? Because,
• 42:49
  Speaker 16: I mean, you work here at CNN. Do you think
• 42:51
  Speaker 16: the journalists here are reporting fake news?
• 42:55
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 42:56
  Speaker 14: I sometimes strongly disagree with the framing. But, no, I
• 42:59
  Speaker 14: think we need to cover the news here. And I
• 43:01
  Speaker 14: think we still can cover the news. But I consider
• 43:03
  Speaker 14: this to be a news outlet. I consider Politico to
• 43:05
  Speaker 14: be a news outlet. MS is a different story.
• 43:09
  Speaker 6: Okay, that guy is so full of it. Now, let
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: me just explain this to you. He just admitted that
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: what CNN is doing is reporting the news. And again,
• 43:20
  Speaker 6: if I had been in that situation, I'd just answer
• 43:25
  Speaker 6: truthfully and honestly, and I would just say, Yeah, I
• 43:29
  Speaker 6: think that you guys have been off the mark and
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: you guys have been reporting fake news. And here are
• 43:35
  Speaker 6: the stories that I consider to be fake news. By
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: the way, I've got to stop here for just a moment.
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: Last night, this is just weird. So I get an
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: emergency text from a radio station person, a radio guy
• 43:51
  Speaker 6: I know. And should I tell people? It's in Arkansas.
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: They don't carry the Todd Stern show. And that's all right.
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: That's fine. But anyway, he hosts the morning show. And no,
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: it's not Little Rock. We're on in Little Rock. But
• 44:06
  Speaker 6: it's a smaller market. This is what cracks me up. So, Dylan,
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: you know me. Somebody says, hey, can you do something?
• 44:12
  Speaker 6: I'm going to generally do it. And so he said, hey, look,
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: we need a guest for our morning show. We pre-tape
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: the morning show at night. And I'm thinking, wow, what
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: a brilliant idea.
• 44:24
  Speaker 7: And.
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: So he said, would you mind if we did an
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: interview with you and I have a co-host? And I said, sure,
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: no problem. Happy to help out. I said, by the way,
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: I've got a book out and I'm promoting the book.
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: And they wanted to ask me, the guy wanted to
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: talk to me about this White House thing. So I said, sure,
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: why not? Okay. I mean, how could it possibly go wrong?
• 44:47
  Speaker 6: It's like small town Arkansas, right? It's like Mayberry. Well,
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: I didn't know that Mayberry had gone woke. So anyway,
• 44:56
  Speaker 6: he tells me before the pre-tape that his co-host is
• 45:00
  Speaker 6: the head teacher at the local high school broadcasting department
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: or whatever, and is in charge of the Society of
• 45:08
  Speaker 6: Professional Journalists. And I don't know why I didn't clue
• 45:12
  Speaker 6: in right away that this was going to be a
• 45:15
  Speaker 6: wild interview, but it turned out to be. I've never
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: been grilled like that on radio. at least not recently.
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: And so the teacher, the guy who's the school teacher,
• 45:31
  Speaker 6: was like, well, I don't appreciate your point of view,
• 45:36
  Speaker 6: and I think you're a hypocrite, and I don't think
• 45:39
  Speaker 6: there's any such thing as fake news. And I'm like,
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: I really don't care what you think. So then the guy,
• 45:45
  Speaker 6: he lays into me about how, well, I just think
• 45:48
  Speaker 6: it's hypocritical because you're with Newsmax, And you're just as
• 45:55
  Speaker 6: bad on the other side. And I'm like, okay, hold
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: my iced tea for a minute. So I said, oh,
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: he didn't like, he said, you don't call it fake news.
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: You should call it propaganda. So I stopped the guy, Dylan.
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: I kind of felt bad about this afterwards, but not
• 46:14
  Speaker 6: by much. So I said, okay. I said, let me
• 46:19
  Speaker 6: stop you here for a second. I said, since I'm
• 46:24
  Speaker 6: a guest on your show, I'm going to be polite,
• 46:27
  Speaker 6: and I'm going to use your verbiage. So I'm not
• 46:30
  Speaker 6: going to accuse you of spewing fake news. I'm going
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: to accuse you, schoolteacher, of spewing propaganda. And I laid
• 46:38
  Speaker 6: into the guy. I said, you know what? What you
• 46:40
  Speaker 6: just said, you know nothing about me. You don't listen
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: to my show. You don't read my work. We have
• 46:47
  Speaker 6: Democrats on my show on a regular basis. We have
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: both sides of the argument. And you know why, school teacher?
• 46:53
  Speaker 6: Because I'm happy to debate the issues of the day.
• 46:56
  Speaker 6: And everybody knows exactly where I'm coming from. The problem
• 46:59
  Speaker 6: with groups like CNN and PMS, I kept calling it
• 47:03
  Speaker 6: PMS now, and PMS now, it's MSNBC, it's PMS now.
• 47:10
  Speaker 6: But the problem with those groups is they don't do that.
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: They are propagandists. They are spewing fake news. And I
• 47:19
  Speaker 6: call them out on it. And Trump's under no obligation
• 47:21
  Speaker 6: to give these people a desk or an ink pen.
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: Not one bit. So anyway, that was my evening, Dylan.
• 47:30
  Speaker 6: I kind of got riled up last night.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: Who would have thought in Arkansas?
• 47:34
  Speaker 6: That's the last time I ever do something like that
• 47:37
  Speaker 6: again in Arkansas. And I'm like, dude, what? I emailed
• 47:44
  Speaker 6: the friend who was completely silent through all of this.
• 47:48
  Speaker 6: I'm like, what the hell? What was that all about? Oh,
• 47:53
  Speaker 6: I'm so sorry. I had no idea it was like that. Yeah,
• 47:57
  Speaker 6: you got a raging lunatic as a co-host. And the
• 48:00
  Speaker 6: worst part about it all, Dylan, that guy is training
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: up the next generation of woke little journalists in wherever
• 48:07
  Speaker 6: it was, Podunk, Kansas, Arkansas. One of those states. That
• 48:15
  Speaker 6: was my night last night, ladies and gentlemen. And yet
• 48:17
  Speaker 6: I'm in a fine mood. I just remember it. All
• 48:19
  Speaker 6: that to say, can we circle back around back to
• 48:22
  Speaker 6: Scott Jennings? The fact that he could not come out
• 48:26
  Speaker 6: and say, you know what? Yeah, we got a problem
• 48:29
  Speaker 6: here at CNN. We do. And he's not going to
• 48:31
  Speaker 6: do that. You know why? Because he's not a real conservative.
• 48:34
  Speaker 6: How can you say that starts? Because he was more
• 48:37
  Speaker 6: concerned about his paycheck than he was saying what needed
• 48:41
  Speaker 6: to be said last night.
• 48:43
  Speaker 10: That's all.
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: That's all I'm saying. And you know what? That's okay.
• 48:47
  Speaker 6: But that's why that guy has no business being anywhere
• 48:51
  Speaker 6: near the Oval Office. That's it. 901-260-5926, our telephone number.
• 48:58
  Speaker 6: That's 901-260-5926. Jennings is a nice guy. They're all nice guys.
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: But I'm just telling you, we are in a war
• 49:09
  Speaker 6: for the heart and the soul of the nation. We
• 49:12
  Speaker 6: don't need nice guys. We need men and women who
• 49:16
  Speaker 6: have backbones of steel, who are willing to say what
• 49:19
  Speaker 6: needs to be said. Because silence, which is really what
• 49:24
  Speaker 6: Jennings was doing, silence in the face of evil is
• 49:29
  Speaker 6: evil itself. Why do I say it evil? I sound
• 49:31
  Speaker 6: like a villain. It's evil.
• 49:34
  Speaker 14: 901-260-5926.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: We'll be right back.
• 49:49
  Speaker 6: All right, ladies and gentlemen, I need your help here
• 49:52
  Speaker 6: on this. Interesting story, and it's a dilemma. And I'm
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: curious to hear your thoughts on this. So a guy
• 50:01
  Speaker 6: was sleeping in his home. His name is Demarcus Collier,
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: 27 years old. And he has a 2018 Jeep Wrangler
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: in his driveway. So it's like 4, 4.30 in the morning.
• 50:17
  Speaker 6: And all of a sudden, the security cameras alert him
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: to the fact that somebody is lurking around his Jeep Wrangler.
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: So Mr. Collier gets up. It's the dark of night.
• 50:31
  Speaker 6: And he goes outside. And he sees a, it turned
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: out to be a 14-year-old kid. that was trying to
• 50:39
  Speaker 6: steal his car. So the 14-year-old then turns around and
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: extends his arm, indicating he had a weapon. Right, Dylan?
• 50:51
  Speaker 6: I mean, if somebody does that to you, that implies
• 50:54
  Speaker 6: they've got a weapon or something.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say that.
• 50:59
  Speaker 6: And then the 14-year-old said, get your ass back in
• 51:02
  Speaker 6: the house. Hey now, so Mr. Collier, who is a
• 51:08
  Speaker 6: law-abiding gun owner, at that point, fearing for his life,
• 51:13
  Speaker 6: opened fire. And he's a pretty darn good shot because
• 51:17
  Speaker 6: the suspect, who turned out to be 14 years old,
• 51:21
  Speaker 6: got shot twice, once in the chest. That kid is
• 51:27
  Speaker 6: now at the Children's Hospital in critical condition. But in
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: the course of firing his weapon, some of the bullets
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: struck a house across the street, and nobody got hurt,
• 51:41
  Speaker 6: but the bullets hit the house. So he calls cops,
• 51:46
  Speaker 6: and the police show up. They were covered nine shell casings,
• 51:49
  Speaker 6: so I guess he fired nine times. Now, neighbors said
• 51:56
  Speaker 6: that this guy, the homeowner, is just a nice guy.
• 51:59
  Speaker 6: He's very neighborly. One of the people quoted, a local
• 52:06
  Speaker 6: TV station, said it was a lot of gunshots. And
• 52:09
  Speaker 6: they said, I feel for both sides because people work
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: too hard for their things. You wouldn't want nobody stealing yours,
• 52:16
  Speaker 6: so why would you try to steal someone else's? Another said,
• 52:19
  Speaker 6: it's messed up. Could have been my son. Doesn't make
• 52:22
  Speaker 6: any sense. Keep your kids in the house at a
• 52:24
  Speaker 6: certain time. What's a 14-year-old doing out on the streets
• 52:27
  Speaker 6: at 4 something in the morning, by the way? When
• 52:30
  Speaker 6: they say, it's 10 o'clock, do you know where your
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: kids are? Your kids are supposed to be in the house.
• 52:37
  Speaker 6: So now police are looking at charging the homeowner. This
• 52:43
  Speaker 6: makes no sense whatsoever. They say that he was reckless
• 52:51
  Speaker 6: by firing his gun. Well, I've got some news for you.
• 52:55
  Speaker 6: According to the Castle Doctrine here in Tennessee, you are
• 53:00
  Speaker 6: allowed to defend your property from your front yard as
• 53:05
  Speaker 6: well as from your driveway. So my question is, should
• 53:10
  Speaker 6: this guy be facing felony charges because he was simply
• 53:14
  Speaker 6: defending his property? And there are people who say, well,
• 53:18
  Speaker 6: somebody could have gotten hurt. Yes, somebody could have, but
• 53:20
  Speaker 6: they didn't. So my question is, who do you stand
• 53:27
  Speaker 6: with here? Police? Or do you stand with this homeowner?
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: 901-260-5926.
• 53:33
  Speaker 6: Our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926. Let's go to the phones.
• 53:44
  Speaker 6: Murph in Germantown, Tennessee, listening to us on KWAM. Murph,
• 53:49
  Speaker 6: what's on your mind?
• 53:51
  Speaker 12: Dr.
• 53:52
  Speaker 15: Starnes, always a pleasure. I just got in on the
• 53:56
  Speaker 15: second half of that shooting, but it seems like to
• 53:59
  Speaker 15: me if the guy's in fear of his life and
• 54:01
  Speaker 15: you hit the nail on the head, what's a 14-year-old
• 54:03
  Speaker 15: doing out at O Dark 100? Anyway, an observation. There
• 54:08
  Speaker 15: was an article in the Wall Street Journal last week
• 54:11
  Speaker 15: regarding this democratic socialism business. And this particular author cited Lenin, Marx,
• 54:22
  Speaker 15: Mao Zedong, Castro, and Hugo Chavez. And these are the
• 54:28
  Speaker 15: boys that are supposed to represent the working class, proletariat.
• 54:35
  Speaker 15: And all of those gentlemen came from, you could say,
• 54:40
  Speaker 15: upper middle class situations. None of those communist slash socialist
• 54:50
  Speaker 15: gurus were in any way missing any meals. And then
• 54:55
  Speaker 15: you look at today's quote-unquote democratic socialists. You've got the
• 54:59
  Speaker 15: distinguished mayor of New York, the distinguished mayor of Seattle,
• 55:04
  Speaker 15: and the member of the House of Representatives from New
• 55:08
  Speaker 15: York City. And I guarantee you those three haven't missed
• 55:13
  Speaker 15: a meal ever. One of them's a doctor.
• 55:16
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 55:17
  Speaker 15: One of them is, I don't know about the mayor
• 55:20
  Speaker 15: of Seattle, but the other lady was working her way,
• 55:24
  Speaker 15: whatever she wanted to do.
• 55:25
  Speaker 6: She was living at home with mommy and daddy. Murph,
• 55:28
  Speaker 6: I hate to do this. We are super late for
• 55:31
  Speaker 6: a break here. Murph, can you hold on? Can you
• 55:34
  Speaker 6: hold on through the break? Let's see if Murph can
• 55:36
  Speaker 6: hold on. We'll be right back, everybody. All right, welcome back, everybody.
• 55:52
  Speaker 6: This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Let's get right
• 55:55
  Speaker 6: back to the phones here. Murph from Germantown, Tennessee, was
• 55:59
  Speaker 6: talking about democratic socialism and the fact that most of
• 56:04
  Speaker 6: these very evil people throughout history had pretty well-to-do upbringings. Murph,
• 56:09
  Speaker 6: go ahead and finish your thought.
• 56:11
  Speaker 15: Yeah, and I was just along that line. I mean,
• 56:14
  Speaker 15: this gentleman that's running in Michigan went to Undergraduate school
• 56:20
  Speaker 15: and then med school, and he's supposed to be an MD.
• 56:23
  Speaker 15: I don't know if he's got his license yet. But
• 56:27
  Speaker 15: what would the mayor of New York and the distinguished
• 56:32
  Speaker 15: mayor of Seattle and the distinguished member of the House
• 56:35
  Speaker 15: of Representatives and this candidate in Michigan, what would they
• 56:39
  Speaker 15: possibly know about, quote, end quote, the lower class, the proletariat,
• 56:46
  Speaker 15: and poverty? Because I guarantee you they've never missed a
• 56:50
  Speaker 15: meal and have, I doubt seriously if they've had to
• 56:54
  Speaker 15: scrounge through garbage dumps looking for things to eat. And
• 57:00
  Speaker 15: just another observation, oh, I guess about six months ago
• 57:04
  Speaker 15: I found a book at a garage sale. It's about
• 57:07
  Speaker 15: six inches thick, the Columbia history of the world, Columbia
• 57:11
  Speaker 15: University history of the world. And people are all upset about,
• 57:15
  Speaker 15: you know, their business. grinding their teeth and staying up
• 57:19
  Speaker 15: at night worrying about what's going on in the Middle East.
• 57:22
  Speaker 15: I'm now to the Middle Ages, and Dr. Starnes, people
• 57:26
  Speaker 15: in that part of the world have been at war
• 57:31
  Speaker 15: for at least 6,000 to 7,000 years. That's all they do.
• 57:36
  Speaker 15: It's tribal, it's property, it's taxes, and it's living conditions,
• 57:43
  Speaker 15: and they have been fighting each other since then. creation.
• 57:48
  Speaker 15: And I don't know why we're so tense about it.
• 57:50
  Speaker 15: They're going to fight regardless.
• 57:53
  Speaker 13: So it's food for thought.
• 57:56
  Speaker 6: Indeed. Murph, thank you for that call. And it's, again,
• 58:00
  Speaker 6: a great observation here, looking at, for example, Zoran Mamdami,
• 58:05
  Speaker 6: who claims to be a man of the people when,
• 58:08
  Speaker 6: in fact, his parents are multimillionaires many times over. 901-260-5926
• 58:14
  Speaker 6: is our telephone number. I want to go right away
• 58:17
  Speaker 6: to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line, say hello to our
• 58:20
  Speaker 6: good friend and our chief political strategist, Josh Jones. Josh,
• 58:25
  Speaker 6: we've been mulling over this crazy survey that was released
• 58:30
  Speaker 6: from a Democrat-leaning polling company suggesting that about a third
• 58:35
  Speaker 6: of Democrats would be okay if President Trump was assassinated.
• 58:40
  Speaker 6: What do you make of those revelations?
• 58:44
  Speaker 13: Look, I think it's reflective of the Democratic leaders, at
• 58:47
  Speaker 13: least a good portion of them. Rhetoric has a trickle-down effect.
• 58:51
  Speaker 13: If you're out here on the campaign trail as a
• 58:53
  Speaker 13: candidate or an elected official that's already in office, espousing
• 58:57
  Speaker 13: violence or encouraging political violence is going to have a
• 59:02
  Speaker 13: trickle-down effect to the people that believe in you or
• 59:04
  Speaker 13: at least have the same ideology as you. I think
• 59:07
  Speaker 13: that's what you see.
• 59:08
  Speaker 15: In this poll.
• 59:09
  Speaker 13: There's a large portion of the Democratic Party, and we're
• 59:13
  Speaker 13: not just talking about elected officials. We're talking about people
• 59:15
  Speaker 13: out just living their lives that are okay with political
• 59:19
  Speaker 13: violence when obviously it's not.
• 59:21
  Speaker 6: You know, again, going down the list, an overwhelming majority
• 59:25
  Speaker 6: of Democrats It would be okay if Trump just, I
• 59:29
  Speaker 6: don't know, went off to glory in the middle of
• 59:31
  Speaker 6: the night, just, you know, died in his sleep. Others,
• 59:35
  Speaker 6: another alarming number, would be okay with a military coup. And, Josh,
• 59:40
  Speaker 6: I'm wondering where young people especially are getting these kinds
• 59:45
  Speaker 6: of ideas that this is somehow acceptable.
• 59:49
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, it's a great point. I think a
• 59:53
  Speaker 13: lot of it has to come back to do with, again,
• 59:54
  Speaker 13: elected officials, but also the media. I mean, the media
• 59:57
  Speaker 13: is constantly painting this picture of Republicans and the president that,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 13: you know, it's somehow an authoritarian regime or fascist or
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 13: something of that nature, trying to compare Trump to, you know,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 13: some unfavorite figures from history. And I think a lot
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 13: of young people, you know, believe them, unfortunately, and they
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 13: take that to heart and they're like, oh my gosh,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 13: we have to do something to, you know, save the
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 13: country in their minds. That's why they're willing to accept
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 13: political violence. Or, you know, like you said in that poll,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 13: which I don't know if they're thinking that one through,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 13: because the military is run by Pete Hegsat, so I
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 13: don't know if they're going to like that much more,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 13: but that's beyond the point.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 6: Well, fair enough. Josh, I'm curious about the midterm elections.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 6: Opinion is all over the place, and I know it's
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 6: sort of schizophrenic even on this show, where, you know,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 6: the polling data just, I don't know, you're in this,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 6: you're out there, what are you seeing, what are you sensing?
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 13: To your point, it's kind of all over the place.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 13: I mean, if you look at some of these polls
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 13: coming out of Iowa, where allegedly the Democrats are ahead
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 13: by five, you know, six, seven, eight points, something like that,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 13: where you get a poll from these swing districts in
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 13: other states, and usually Iowa's a pretty good bellwether, and uh...
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 13: you know if i was the poll numbers are matching
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 13: up with these other swing states or you know swing
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 13: districts across the country you have to question okay how
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 13: accurate are some of these polls because historically they've been
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 13: on the same page when it comes to polling uh...
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 13: so look i don't think anybody truly knows what's going
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 13: to happen this november uh... we're closing in we're roughly
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 13: almost forty days out at this point uh... what i
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 13: will say is democrats are motivated democrat voters and democrat
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 13: politicians are motivated because They think between the war in Iran,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 13: higher gas prices, and also that the Republicans are the
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 13: incumbent party right now. They feel motivated that they're going
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 13: to do pretty well this November. They're going to show
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 13: up to the polls. So Republicans have to show up
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 13: to the polls this November and have enthusiasm and fall
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 13: on Republican leadership to give them that reason to come
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 13: out to the polls.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 6: Josh, what do you think it is that's going to
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 6: motivate people to get out and vote?
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 13: I think for Democrats, their motivation is going to be
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 13: this is their chance to rebuke Trump. It's the first
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 13: election since he was re-elected as president, so this is
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 13: their chance to kind of push back against him. That's
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 13: going to be their motivating factor. I think for Republicans,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 13: in drawing a contract with the Democrats, I mean, if
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 13: you look at some of our candidates, you know, we're
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 13: talking about Zoran Mandani, or if you look at the
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 13: Democrat nominee... Abdul up in Michigan or some of these other,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 13: you know, AOC, Bernie Sanders, or some of these other
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 13: socialists that are becoming the nominees across the country. I mean,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 13: you can clearly see what passed the Democratic Party is on.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 13: And I think the motivating factor for Republicans is this
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 13: election is truly a referendum on socialism to a degree
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 13: and where the Democratic Party is going.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 6: I like how you phrase that. I mean, and maybe
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 6: that's what this needs to be, is a referendum on
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 6: socialism and whether or not this is the direction that
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 6: we want the country to go down.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 13: You're right because of voters and democrats of victory this
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 13: november it's only going to encourage them to run further
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 13: to all have already showing you in these primaries they
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 13: are willing to accept socialist in their party and it's
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 13: becoming more mainstream in a democratic party and it's not
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 13: just in deep blue cities or any or deep blue
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 13: states i mean we're talking about michigan the swing state
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 13: of all swing states where they're nominating socialists and people
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 13: that align themselves with the radical elements of the left
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 13: wing here in america so i think if Democrats win
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 13: this November, that's going to be a green light to
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 13: the Democratic Party to double down on the social agenda.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 13: So Republicans have to shine a spotlight on this in
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 13: the next 40 days and say, look, this is not
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 13: your grandfather's Democratic Party. This is now becoming the Democratic
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 13: Communist of America Party. You have to stop them from
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 13: getting into power. Otherwise, they'll just double down on it.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you're 1,000% right on the analysis there.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 6: Josh Jones said, joining us on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 6: You know, the other issue, at least in some of
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 6: the southern states, there's an effort by some of the
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 6: candidates to portray themselves as yellow dog Democrats, more moderate,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 6: if not downright conservative. There's a guy in Tennessee. His
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 6: first campaign ad had him sitting around the dinner table
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 6: with his very normal-looking family, no magenta hair, no nose rings,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 6: They're eating a meal together. They're holding hands, praying to God.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 6: I'm just curious, Josh, are you buying what these Democrats
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 6: are trying to sell? Because you guys saw that happen
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 6: in Virginia not too long ago.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 13: You're right.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 12: You're right.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 13: You have these Democratic candidates who try and paint themselves
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 13: as moderate or what have you, more middle-of-the-road Democrats, and
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 13: then they get into the office. and they dialed down
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 13: to the most radical wing of their party. I mean,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 13: you saw that in Virginia, like you mentioned with Abigail Spenberger,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 13: who ran this moderate campaign. She's going to be governor
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 13: for all Virginians. And in the first couple weeks in office,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 13: she introduces and backs all these bills to raise taxes,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 13: all these cultural issues from the left wing of the party,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 13: of the Democratic Party. So all that to say, you're
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 13: going to see the same thing this election cycle. They
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 13: may truly believe they're moderates or more moderate people, But
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 13: once they get into office and they get to D.C.,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 13: they're going to bow down to Hakeem Jeffries or Chuck
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 13: Schumer or whoever else the Democrats put in leadership and
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 13: just vote how they tell them to vote. And that's
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 13: why you can't elect a Democrat these days is they
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 13: won't have a mind of their own. They'll just bow
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 13: down to the leftist base of the Democratic Party.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a good point. And again, Democrats, they vote
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 6: as a bloc. It doesn't matter how conservative they are,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 6: liberal they are, they always vote as a bloc. Republicans,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 6: it's hard to get them on the same page. It's
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 6: kind of like herding cats, I suppose.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: No kidding.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 13: You're absolutely right. And look, it's almost a compliment to
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 13: the Republican Party, because you're right, some of us, we
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 13: don't all agree. If you're here in D.C., I don't
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 13: want politics to be the best decision, but at least
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 13: Republicans are free thinkers, and they actually can have their
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 13: own opinions, whereas the Democrats in D.C., Whatever leadership says,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 13: that's what they're going to go with. No matter if
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 13: they are more moderate or so-called socialist, communist, they're all
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 13: going to be exactly the same.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 6: Josh Jones, featured prominently, by the way, in my new book,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 6: The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America. So you've got
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 6: some pretty good press time in the book.
• 1:06:36

• 1:06:49
  Speaker 13: Next up on the campaign trail, we're doing some more
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 13: stuff in Virginia, as always, North Carolina, and then obviously
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 13: the big one, this cycle is obviously down in Texas.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 13: So we'll be back down there here shortly.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 6: Good stuff. Look, safe travels, Josh. Good to hear from you.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 15: Big thoughts.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 6: All right. Josh Jones, everybody, our chief political strategist, smart guy,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 6: smart guy, and the Republicans would be wise to pay

• 1:08:07
  Speaker 6: it's real news for real people. Well, our good buddy
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 6: Paul Shanklin put it like this. The Democrat Socialists, they
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 6: start out like Harpo Marx. They don't say very much,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 6: and they just smile a lot. And then later, you
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 6: find out they're Karl Marx. And by that point, it's
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 6: too late. Oh, President Trump taking questions from the media.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 6: Wait a second, I didn't know he was still doing that. Oh,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 6: he did. A reporter asked the president, Mr. President, how
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 6: are the media outlets a threat to national security? And
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 6: the president was like, well, okay, when the media makes
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 6: false statements about war, false and malicious, they don't have sources,
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 6: but they say they do. No, it's very dangerous for
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 6: our country, and I won't stand for it.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 11: Okay, never mind.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's who these people are. Let me give an
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 6: example of this. And by the way, Pete Hankseth was
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 6: addressing this before all the hullabaloo around CNN and PMS
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 6: Now and Politico popped up, the Washington Post had published
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 6: a truly reprehensible, reprehensible column. And they were alleging that
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 6: the Pentagon was hiding the actual death numbers in the
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 6: Iran war. I mean, this is... beyond despicable. So anyway,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 6: Hegseth is all over this, and they've got a big
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 6: problem with leakers at the Pentagon, and we need to
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 6: figure out who those people are, and we've got to
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 6: get to them quickly. But anyway, we've got to deal
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 6: with this. But the idea that, and this is what
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 6: Secretary Hegseth said, even if we wanted to attempt to
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 6: hide a combat death, We never would, and we never could.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 6: We never would because of how much we cherish the
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 6: lives of our service members, every single one of them.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 6: So there you have it. Again, I think President Trump
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 6: should have kicked Washington Post out as well. What they
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 6: did was even more egregious, accusing the Trump administration of
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 6: hiding the number of dead people, dead soldiers in the
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 6: Iran war. Hegseth said maybe people should just stop believing
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 6: what the Washington Post has to say. That's a nice
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 6: place to start. It's always anonymous sources with these jokers.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 6: And that's the problem. And he's absolutely right. The Washington Post,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 6: citing anonymous sources, says that the Pentagon is hiding the
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 6: true numbers of deaths. Hegseth goes on, the Washington Post
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 6: doesn't have any credibility and hasn't had for a very
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 6: long time. I meant what I said. They hate the
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 6: president more than they love the country. And ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 6: I don't want you to ever forget that. These journalists,
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 6: they do hate our president more than they love our country.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 6: Hegseth goes on to say that's why we called him
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 6: out as the fake news. He's been right from the beginning.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 6: He says this is all totally made up. It's fake.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 6: It's a lie. It's a headline. They want to try
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 6: to make us look bad. The president looks bad and
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 6: try to undermine the historic success we've had in that conflict. Well,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 6: let me stop you there, Mr. Secretary. We could use
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 6: a little transparency here because nobody knows what the heck
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 6: is going on over there. Hegseth goes on to say
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 6: it should be dismissed as such, and it is unfortunate
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 6: that that's what so-called journalism has to say. There is
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 6: no journalism anymore. None whatsoever. This is not about journalism.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 6: This is about propaganda. That's what this is really all about.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 6: The idea that the Washington Post would go out there
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 6: and accuse Pete Hagseth of what? Hiding the number of
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 6: dead soldiers? First of all, that's not even possible. There's
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 6: no way to even do that. Yeah, Mr. President, Washington Post,
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 6: they've got.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 14: To go, too.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 6: They've got to go.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 10: 901-260-5926.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 6: I mean, do you really trust the media? Do you
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 6: trust your local media? Because they're all the same now.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 6: All the same. I mean, the idea that in little Podunk, Arkansas,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 6: they've got a far-left radio host, I just don't know.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 6: It's all very disappointing. All very disappointing. All right, coming up,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 6: we're going to be talking to our good friend Mary Walter,
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 6: always drops by every Tuesday. Coming up later this week,
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 6: a couple of big fun events. Yours truly has been
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 6: invited to speak at a couple of young conservative gatherings.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 6: So Thursday morning, 6.15, we're gathering with students from a
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 6: local high school, and they've asked about, we're feeding them breakfast.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 6: And Dylan, you're more than invited to come if you'd
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 6: like to come to... Well, thank you.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: I do love breakfast.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 6: It's at 6.15, though.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: Well, you know I don't wake up that early.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 6: How about brunch?
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 10: Yeah.

  Speaker 6: How about brunch?
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: Breakfast at night, please.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 6: Okay. Well, I'll see what we can do. Well, that
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 6: night I'm actually emceeing the big confidential care event. banquet

  Speaker 6: and we love raising money for pro-family organizations helping helping
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 6: single moms and the chaplain for the dallas cowboys is
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 6: going to be the keynote speaker that's going to be
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 6: a lot of fun all right hang tight everybody got
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 6: to take a quick break hour three of the big
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 6: show coming up next.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: Broadcasting coast-to-coast and border-to-border.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 6: From Memphis, Tennessee. That's us, that's right. I love this
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 6: American ride. Todd Starks. Well, hello everybody. Sorry, I was
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 6: trying to multitask. Welcome everybody. Great to have you with
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 6: us today. Hour three of the big show. Coming up
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 6: a little bit later this hour, our good friend Mary Walter,
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 6: Newsmax contributor, will be along and we'll have a great
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 6: conversation there. So there was a controversy a few, was
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 6: it about a week or so ago? I don't know,
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 6: is it just me or is college football just like
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 6: flying now? We're on week five? That's insane.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: It is flying pretty fast.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 6: So we had– there was a big dust-up involving Arch Manning.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 6: And Arch Manning was– he had the poor misfortune of
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 6: laughing at a meme that– oh, who was it? Who
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 6: was the other reporter?
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 12: Holly Rowe.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 6: Holly Rowe. And so anyway, Holly Rowe was– she had
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 6: rolled her eyes, you know, the coach at Texas– And
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 6: we're not going to rehash all of that, but she
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 6: rolled her eyes and it became a meme where, and
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 6: in the meme, the coach turns around and smacks the
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 6: living daylights out of the woman.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: Make me a sandwich.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 6: No, he didn't say that. Oh, he didn't say that.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 8: AI.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 7: Oh, AI.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: AI generated.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 6: Make me a sandwich, woman. So everybody laughed at it, right?
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 6: All of the guys in the press, everybody laughed at
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 6: it because they knew it was a stupid meme, which
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 6: was meant to be. There weren't really... They weren't really
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 6: suggesting that the coach should go over and slap the
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 6: living daylights out of the reporterette on the sidelines. They
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 6: weren't saying that. Right? No, they weren't saying that. So anyway,
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 6: you know how some of these women reporters are. They
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 6: got a little butthurt over this, and they took great offense.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 6: Great offense. And there was great umbrage among the female
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 6: reporting crews, and it led to poor Arch Manning. How
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 6: old is Arch? What, 22 years old? The kid had
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 6: to apologize. And Holly Roe made a big deal about it,
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 6: and she posted all this crap on social media. And
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 6: the whole problem now with college football, it's all touchy-feely,
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 6: getting in touch with your emotions. And never offending, whatever
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 6: you do, never offend the women that are reporting on
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 6: college sports. You're not allowed to talk about them. You're
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 6: not allowed to look at them. You're not allowed to
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 6: do anything. You just have to bow down and do
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 6: what they tell you to do. Or in some cases,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 6: bend over. But I digress. So anyway, there was this
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 6: one particular, I'm assuming she's a woman. But wait a second. Dylan,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 6: do you know who that woman looks like? You know,
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 6: the video I just sent you. Do you know who
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 6: that looks like? No, we can't say.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to say.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 6: It just hit me.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 6: Is that Ben? No. I can't say it.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 6: Anyway, this woman bears a striking resemblance to Ben Dieter.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 6: I said it. Just a smidge. Just a smidge. But
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 6: the thing is, Ben Dieter's a dude, and she's not.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 6: But she carries herself and portrays herself as a.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 9: Dude.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 6: Is that a fair assessment? It's got to be. I mean,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 6: she's wearing a tie.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: A suit and tie.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 6: A suit and tie, and she's got her hair done
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 6: up like Dieter.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: It is a striking resemblance.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 6: You know he's listening to the show.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: This is bad.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 6: He's really going to be upset. Well, anyway, this fake Dieter.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 6: we're going to call her faux Dieter. So faux Dieter
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 6: works for a television station, K-A-R-E, in, is that Minneapolis?
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 6: Somewhere in Minnesota. And she's got this, and when I
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 6: say she, I'm using that to, let me just say,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 6: I'm not sure what the pronouns are here. I am stumped.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 6: Honest to goodness, stumped here. So anyway, Foe Dieter, she
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 6: hosts a show, well, apparently, and it's been running for
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 6: more than 10 years. So she came after all of
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 6: the sports players. She was enraged. And she demanded that
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 6: all of them apologize. for their behavior. By the way,
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 6: this woman also said that Clay Travis was sexist because
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 6: he offered $ 10 million for a WNBA team to play
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 6: a high school boys team. And so she was demanding
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 6: now that every reporter who laughed at the Holly Roe
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 6: meme be forced to apologize. So it turns out things
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 6: did not end well for Fodeater. Dylan, do we have
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 6: the audio?
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: We do.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 6: Let's take a listen.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 9: CARE 11 has made the decision to take breaking the
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 9: news off the air at the end of this week,
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 9: concluding our time together on broadcast TV on this show
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 9: after nearly 11 years. But that said, this work will
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 9: continue as our show will move to streaming on CARE
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 9: 11 plus weekdays at 530 early next month. I am
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 9: so proud of the show. We were able to produce
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 9: with a team who did it for one reason, and
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 9: that was you. We laughed and cried together, and we
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 9: covered some of the most consequential events in Minnesota history.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 9: It has been the honor of my career to do
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 9: this show on this station with you, and I hope
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 9: you'll come with us next month to streaming. For now,
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 9: I just want to say thank you. You absolutely made
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 9: all of my television dreams come true by watching Breaking
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 9: the News. It has been the honor.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 4: Of a lifetime.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 9: Please share this video so everyone can find out from me.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 6: Wow. She's kind of like a more attractive Rachel Maddow, actually.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 10: Ouch.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, dear.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 6: Dieter just texted.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: He's mad.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 6: He's mad.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: He can be mad all he wants, but it's true.
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 6: He says, I'm offended. Oh, my Lord. It is a
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 6: striking resemblance, though, right? I'm just saying. This is terrible. 901-260-5926.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 6: I mean, those of you who know Dieter know this
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 6: is a faux Dieter. A fake Dieter, but we're going
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 6: to call her faux Dieter. Because I like how that sounds.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 6: Faux Dieter. Anyway, good luck to you, ma'am or sir
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 6: or zee or zur. All I can tell you is
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 6: there is a price to pay. And if you're going
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 6: to come out and you're going to say that all
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 6: men are bad for laughing at what everybody was laughing at,
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 6: then that's on you. And that tells me that you
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 6: have something stuck up your craw that doesn't need to
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 6: be there. That's all. All right, we've got to take
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 6: a break here. 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Before we go to break,
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 6: I do want to share this with you. CNN announced
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 6: they would not be broadcasting President Trump's speech at the
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 6: United Nations today. They said if there was anything important
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 6: that they felt was important, they would pass it along
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 6: to you. Do you understand what's going on here with
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 6: our national media? You see, they're the ones who decide
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 6: what you need to know. That's the mindset of these people.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 6: By the way, that's the mindset at Fox News now.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 6: And it's really sad. I mean, what's been happening at
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 6: Fox News is sad because they are just really a shell.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 6: And I'm not talking about the actual numbers because their
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 6: ratings are through the roof. But they really are, from
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 6: a philosophical standpoint, from an ideological standpoint, they're just a
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 6: shell of what they used to be. Nobody really believes it.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 6: They're going to say what will make them money. That's
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 6: what Fox is doing. And also, they too are of
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 6: the belief that they will tell you what you need
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 6: to know. I just don't, I do not, I just,
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 6: I can't go down that path. All right, got to
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 6: take a break. We'll be right back.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 3: A fight between a few students turned into a very
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 3: dangerous situation at Druid Hills High School Wednesday. Chairs thrown,
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 3: laptops smashed. We had to blur many of the faces
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 3: in the video because they're minors. Cameron Hopkins is a
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 3: junior at the school. His mom said he could talk
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 3: to us on camera.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 5: Things like this happen all the time and It's disturbing
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 5: to some extent.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 3: Hopkins told us students aren't afraid to fight or throw
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 3: things that could seriously hurt others.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 5: That really shouldn't be happening and I feel like the
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 5: school should be increasing the follow through with the consequences
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 5: that they said they were going to give these students
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 5: who were fighting.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 3: The principal sent out this letter to parents on the
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 3: same day of the fight that said the school had
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 3: to go on a level one lockdown. But this parent
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 3: told us he didn't realize the fight got this intense.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 10: Need some help or something, more security or a better
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 10: plan to come up with somebody acting like that.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 3: A teacher dressed in pink tried to stop the fight.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 3: Security came into the classroom after a couple minutes, but
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 3: the fight continued.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 5: I feel like that's why most of these fights happen, because...
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 5: The students know the administrators won't try to stop it.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 6: No, why should they? And look, I don't blame the
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 6: school teachers at all. I mean, this is insane, ladies
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 6: and gentlemen. By the way, that reporting from WSB-TV, I mean,
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 6: what a crazy story. And again, we just believe on
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 6: this program that we just have to cut right to
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 6: the chase. These are black kids. Again, black kids, they
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 6: are causing mayhem across the nation. Nobody wants to address
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 6: this issue. But let me just say that this is
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 6: a parent problem. At the core of it all, in
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 6: many of these cases, these kids are either being raised
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 6: in single-parent homes or or mom and dad are completely absent.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 6: But they're trying to hide the identities of the kids.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 6: They're blurring the images because they don't want people to
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 6: see the kids. You know what? Forget that. These are
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 6: not kids. These are little monsters behaving like savages. And
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 6: you know, I feel that they found the one white
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 6: kid to interview. You think it's safe? Let me just,
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 6: in all seriousness, you really think it's safe for that
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 6: white kid to go to class? Unbelievable. The footage is insane.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 6: They're literally, the kids, the black students, this is Druid
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 6: High School, which had been known for many, many years
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 6: for its rigorous academics. You've got the kids standing on desks,
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 6: hurling laptops at classmates. beating each other, throwing chairs, and
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 6: the security officer comes in, holy crap, and got out
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 6: of there. And you know why? Because, God forbid, they
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 6: start arresting these kids or tasing them, because then you've
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 6: got Al Sharpton and the NAACP breathing down your neck.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 6: So it's an honest-to-goodness quandary for these teachers. What do
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 6: you do? What do you do? I'm just telling you
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 6: right now, you know what we need? We need, like, Mr. T.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 6: We need Mr. T back. I pity the fool. We
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 6: need Mr. T in there. And I guarantee you, he'd
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 6: crack some skulls. But that's what needs to happen. These
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 6: kids need to have beatings. They need to bring back
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 6: the paddles, bring back corporate punishment. And if you're going
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 6: to behave like an animal, then you get treated like one.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 6: I mean, it really is that simple to me. Bring
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 6: back corporal punishment. We did not have these problems at
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 6: Hope P. Sullivan Elementary School. And you know why, Dylan?
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 6: Because they put the fear of Almighty God in the children.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 6: They knew we were heathens.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 2: And then you get home, and then you get it worse.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah. If you made it home. And then if
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 6: you did make it home, there's no guarantee you were
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 6: going to make it back to school, especially if you
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 6: were acting the fool. I'll never forget our principal patrolling
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 6: that hallway. He had just like a holster, he had
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 6: a paddle, fiberglass paddle, holes drilled all the way through.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 6: You know, I'm telling you, I remember as a kid,
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 6: you could hear the paddlings, and we were like in
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 6: a different hallway, but you could hear the screaming. And
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 6: you know what? The kids turned out okay. They turned
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 6: out to be okay. We all turned out fine. But that's,
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 6: you folks in Atlanta, I mean, it's bad enough that
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 6: crime is off the charts, but this is one of
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 6: the reasons why, is you've got this, I mean, this is,
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 6: it's not even human. I just, I mean, how do
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 6: you describe this? Druid Hills. Pardon me. I said Druid
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 6: High School. It's Druid Hills High School. By the way,
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 6: the video is now spreading on social media. Oh, here's
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 6: why it's really bad. I mean, all hell's breaking loose.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 6: They're throwing chairs. They're throwing laptops. And, you know, the
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 6: school staff was instructed, now, now, don't throw that laptop. Now, now, now, now, LaQuisha, Tarangelo,
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 6: let's put down the chair now. There's no, no, no, no.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 6: Put that knife back in it.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 12: No, no.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 6: Please don't shiv your classmates. So they're practicing something called
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 6: calming students verbally. This country's screwed. DeKalb County Schools now investigating...
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 6: Parents say they're concerned about their kids' safety. But the
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 6: entire incident is now spotlighting the school district's CARES program. C-A-R-E-S.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 6: We love you. We care for you. And just remember,
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 6: if you get stabbed, well, your injuries will heal. Unless
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 6: they hit a major organ. Wow.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 6: Anyway, my condolences to all you parents there in DeKalb County, Georgia.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 6: I think this is one of the reasons why people
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 6: are moving north to places like Gainesville, Georgia, and beautiful
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 6: Hall County. And by the way, Cleveland, Georgia, WRWH, our
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 6: great affiliate there. This is one of the reasons why
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 6: people are evacuating the cities. The problem is they can't
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 6: be bringing that nonsense back. to the suburbs. Can't be
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 6: doing that.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 14: 901-260-5926.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 6: That's 901-260-5926. That's just child abuse. Well, that was not
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 6: child abuse. You know what child abuse is? Raising your
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 6: kid to be a savage. That's what child abuse is
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 6: because you, mom and dad, are going to be responsible
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 6: for sending your kid to prison. You got to teach
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 6: them right from wrong. And if you can't do that,
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 6: shame on you. Unbelievable. So look, coming up, Mary Walter
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 6: joins us. Here's a crazy story out of New York.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 6: Remember the 1619 Project? Well, the woman behind that, she
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 6: and her husband, very wealthy, and they decided that they
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 6: were going to make a statement, a political statement with
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 6: their own daughter. So instead of sending their daughter to
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 6: one of the best schools in New York City, they
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 6: decided intentionally to send her to one of the worst
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 6: performing schools because they want to make a statement for
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 6: race relations. Well, now their daughter, I guess, is in
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 6: middle school, and the daughter is smart enough to realize
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 6: that her parents really screwed her over. And so this
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 6: woman wrote an essay about what she did and how
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 6: now she regrets that her daughter is not as intelligent
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 6: as she is because she was sent to one of
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 6: these underperforming schools. That, ladies and gentlemen, is child abuse.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 6: What they did is child abuse. We'll talk to Mary
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 6: Walter about that. 901-260-5926, our number. That's 901-260-5926. This is
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 6: the Todd Stern Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. It
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 6: is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. The good news is,
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 6: apparently it's going to be, what, in the 80s today?
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 6: This is great. So finally, the Great Heat Dome has lifted,
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 6: and hopefully Memphis will be able to Join the rest
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 6: of the nation as we enjoy fall. Let's go to
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 6: the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line, our good friend Mary Walter,
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 6: host of Mary Walter Radio. Also a Newsmax contributor joins us. Mary,
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 6: is it nice and cool and pleasant in New Jersey?
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 4: No, we've got the start of the Nor'easter coming.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 6: So this goes until.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 4: It gets worse Wednesday, Thursday, and it goes until Sunday. So, yeah, no,
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 4: I woke up this morning freezing. It's like 62 out
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 4: right now with 30-mile-an-hour winds, and they're going to go
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 4: up to like 60. Nice.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 6: A little windy.
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 4: Good times.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 6: A little windy. You know, I'm curious. We were talking
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 6: about this earlier in the show about fall. Is there
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 6: a certain smell or thing that says, okay, it is
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 6: officially fall?
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 4: For me, since I live at the Jersey Shore, the
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 4: weekend after Labor Day is officially summer's local, local summer,
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 4: local summer. So for us, that's the big thing. There
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 4: are fewer people on my streets. There are fewer people
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 4: causing chaos and havoc. There are fewer people on the beach.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 4: We get one more weekend after Labor Day at the beach.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 4: And that's for locals. And our town has a big
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 4: fireman's fair to welcome local summer fireworks and everything. And
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 4: so for me, that's the start of summer at the
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 4: Jersey Shore. And of course, then when you get into it,
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 4: it's like I get to bring out sweaters, which I love.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 4: And I like colder weather because my theory is the
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 4: older you get, there's less you can take off and
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 4: be socially acceptable in order to be cool, like to
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 4: maintain your temperature. But the older you get, the more
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 4: you can put on. in order to maintain your warmth.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 4: It's much more socially acceptable.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 6: You can layer. Oh, yes. That makes sense. Love a
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 6: good layering. Some people say, okay, now it's officially time.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 6: It's permissible. Today's the first day of fall. It's permissible
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 6: to drink the pumpkin spice lattes. I'm not one of
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 6: those guys. I don't want to drink something that tastes
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 6: like a gourd.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 4: I'm with you. I'm not big on.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 4: Pumpkin liquid. I don't like pumpkin creamer. I don't like
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 4: pumpkin beer. I don't like pumpkin after dinner drinks. People
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 4: give me those pumpkins. I don't like pumpkin in liquid form, period.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 4: I also don't like it paired with chocolate. However, I
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 4: do enjoy my pumpkin. I am a big fan. I
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 4: love the pumpkin spice. It's really the smell and the
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 4: taste of the pumpkin spice, which is a mixture of
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 4: like nutmeg and cinnamon and clove and all spices. There's
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 4: like five different spices that go into making it. I
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 4: just love the smell of it. It just combined with
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 4: the cool weather just says fall to me. I will, however,
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 4: admit that I did buy limited edition pumpkin pop tarts.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 6: Really? I didn't even know they had such a thing.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 6: How do they taste? Are they pretty good?
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 4: The pumpkin, the pumpkin, the pumpkin pop tarts are really good.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 4: That's the season. That's it. And also here on the
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 4: East coast, the other thing that signals fall, is the
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 4: Malamars come out. Malamars are only made once a year.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 6: Was that like a seal, like a walrus?
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 4: They only come out once a year. And they advertise
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 4: them that they're in the grocery store. And last year,
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 4: I couldn't get any. I was too late. They're gone.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 6: It's a dessert.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 6: I thought it was like something at the shore that
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 6: washes up on the beach.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 4: No, it's a cookie. It's got a graham cracker bottom.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 4: And it's got this marshmallow thing on top, and then
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 4: it's dipped in chocolate. And they only do them when
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 4: the weather gets cold because back in the day, they
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 4: didn't have refrigerated trucks, so they would melt. Now, obviously,
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 4: they have refrigerated trucks, but they still kept it seasonal.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 4: So it's pretty cool.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 6: I didn't realize you people in Jersey dipped your graham
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 6: cracker bottoms in chocolate. I'm intrigued.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 4: No, the whole thing's dipped in chocolate.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 6: Oh, the whole thing. Pardon me.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 14: Sorry.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 6: The entire body of the cookie is dipped in.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 4: It's like a s'more. It's like a little chocolate round
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 4: wafer thing. Excuse me.
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 6: I've never had one of these.
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 4: Because you can't get them where you are.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 7: Hmm.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 6: Well, I don't know about that. For some reason, I
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 6: think I saw them on the ethnic aisle at Kroger.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 6: So I'm going to have to go back. I shop at,
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 6: we call it, this is terrible. We call it Jewish
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 6: Kroger because that's where all the kosher. It's a predominantly
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 6: kosher Kroger, so we call it Jewish Kroger.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 4: Listen, I'm a big fan of the matzah. I buy
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 4: it after the season when it goes on sale.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 6: There you go. And I like the pastrami and the brisket. So,
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 6: you know, they got it all there. So they may
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 6: have the, they're called malamars. Is that what you call it?
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but they're not like a particularly like Jewish food.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 6: Oh, I see. I see. So they wouldn't be on
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 6: the ethnic aisle.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 4: I'm not quite sure why you thought that, but okay.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 6: I don't know, Mary. It's Tuesday and I have no
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 6: idea what I'm doing.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 4: Look them up. I'm telling you, it's malamars.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 6: Malamars. All right. I'm going to look this up.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 8: One word.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 6: Mary Walter joining us today. So look, I want to
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 6: place audio here. This is Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins. You know,
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 6: everybody's upset at the high price of beef and gas
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 6: and a lot of other stuff. And she's got a
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 6: solution to all of this. Cut 23, please.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 8: But if it is too expensive, unlike Fuel Benny, you
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 8: can eat chicken, pork, salmon, eggs. There are other sources
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 8: of really good protein. And all of those prices are
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 8: coming down as well. So it isn't necessarily breaking out there.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 8: And listen, I'm a mom of four. I'm still feeding
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 8: a whole bunch of kids, very hungry kids. We realize
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 8: the price of groceries are too high. We're doing everything
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 8: we can to bring them down after the Biden years
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 8: of crazy, crazy inflation.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 6: Okay, I'm not too sure. Okay, eat a can of
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 6: Spam if you can't afford a ground beef. I'm not
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 6: sure that's a good selling point on the campaign trail.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 4: Well, okay, first of all, do not underestimate Spam. I
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 4: happen to like it.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 6: I like Spam, but still.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I like Spam. But here's the thing, you know, I'm...
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 4: I'm old enough to remember when people were like, eat
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 4: more chicken, right? That's just the way it was. That
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 4: was the solution. And as Americans, we said, okay, because
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 4: we understood that it takes years to bring up an
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 4: entire herd of cattle, right? It takes years to do that.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 4: We were much more reasonable back then. Now we want
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 4: to demand immediately. Trump said he was going to lower prices.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 4: Why aren't they lowered? And that was like five days
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 4: into his presidency. So we have to think a little critically.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 4: I don't think anything this administration can say on the
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 4: campaign trail is going to change minds of the far left.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 4: The people who are voting for the DSA, they're gone.
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 4: But I saw an interesting poll, believe it or not,
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 4: on CNN with Harry Enten, that showed that white non-college voters,
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 4: they chose the GOP over the DSA, or are we
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 4: allowed to call the Democrat Party that now, over the
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 4: DSA by 26 points in October 2024. In October 2024,
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 4: 26 points in September 2026 hasn't changed. So they haven't
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 4: lost that group of people. I think a lot of
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 4: the base is still there with them because I think
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 4: the left has gone so far to crazy town that
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 4: it's turning a lot of people off. And I think
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 4: the anti-Semitism, the Hassan Piker thing. People are noticing and
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 4: they don't like it, and I think that's driving people away.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 6: Oh, my Lord, Mary Walter. It's about as popular as
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 6: a Malamore in the South, Mary Walter. That's polling numbers.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 4: Why do you sound like a Yenta from Staten Island?
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 6: That's my Harry Inton impression.
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 4: Oh. Okay, fair. Fair.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 6: The guy, that's the only funny thing on CNN, except
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 6: for the little, the Dwarf King fella, Brian Stelter. But yeah,
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 6: Harry Enten's, I mean, he gets, I mean, the way
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 6: he delivers the polling data, it's fantastic.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, even if it's bad news, I still like the
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 4: way he does it. He's so enthusiastic. So I just love,
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 4: when it's bad news for Democrats, I love that poor, like,
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 4: Brooke Baldwin or whomever is the anchor has to stand
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 4: there and just not cringe, which I love.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 6: Hey, what do you think about Trump kicking out the
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 6: CNN PMS Now crowd, Politico? Well, you know, I.
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 4: Kind of look at it as Barack Obama set the
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 4: tone for that. He's the first one who did it.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 4: And he spied on James Rosen and his family. And nobody,
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 4: there wasn't even a wrist slapped for that. He violated
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 4: his constitutional rights and literally nothing happened. It was okay. Well,
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 4: you know, it was a long time ago. It's a
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 4: bygones be bygones. No big deal. He also would not
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 4: go on the more conservative news channels, right? He wouldn't
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 4: do that. He kept his administration and cabinet members from
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 4: going on like Fox and some of the other Newsmax
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 4: and more conservative news channels. And then Biden followed suit
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 4: because really it was Obama pulling the strings. So Biden
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 4: followed suit. Biden revoked over 440 hard press credentials from
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 4: the press. And Trump's following suit. And I got to
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 4: tell you, I didn't like it at first. I was
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 4: kind of cringing about the whole thing. I'm like, really?
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 4: But then I'm like, you know what? I saw a
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 4: video of all the things that they literally made up
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 4: and posted as fact in some of those exact same outlets.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 4: And if they're just going to lie or make up things,
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 4: then they can do that from home, right?
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 4: What's the harm?
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 6: You know, and again, it's not just that they got caught.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 6: It's that they never recanted. They never apologized. They haven't
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 6: done anything to kind of make good, and that's what
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 6: bothers me. You know, I was married before I went
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 6: to the pundit side of the world. I was a
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 6: reporter at Fox, and they had embedded me in the
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 6: Obama campaign back in the very first run. And so
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 6: I traveled. I was part of the traveling press corps,
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 6: and Major Garrett and I went everywhere with Obama. And
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 6: I was there the day in October. It was Halloween.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 6: We were in Missouri, and we were all dressed up
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 6: in outfits. I was Joe the plumber. I showed up
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 6: wearing a white T-shirt with a plunger I stole from
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 6: the hotel. And then a colleague of mine from the
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 6: Washington Times, she looked just like Sarah Palin in the
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 6: red dress. and a bunch of other folks were there. Anyway,
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 6: that was the day that the Washington Times, Dallas Morning News,
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 6: and there was one other organization. The reporters were kicked
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 6: off the plane, and their news organizations had endorsed John McCain.
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 6: And Obama came back and told the press corps, yep,
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 6: you guys are gone. You're out of here, and kicked
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 6: them off the plane. Nobody said anything. Well, they did
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 6: say one thing. Jake Tamper, I'll never forget this, turned
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 6: around and looked at me, as did everybody else, and said,
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 6: wait a second, he's not going either? I got to stay.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 6: They didn't kick me off the plane.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 4: Okay, maybe you blend.
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 6: Golly, that's brutal.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 4: Well, you've got to remember, when they do it, it's...
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 4: different with a big capital d and it's okay they
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 4: only have standards when republicans do something that annoys them
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 4: or angers them in some way.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 6: Well fair enough and i used to look i get
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 6: along with everybody and believe it or not back in
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 6: the day michelle obama and valerie jarrett uh we used
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 6: to you know we actually lunched a couple of times
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 6: uh they're on the campaign.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 4: Look at you name dropping.
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 6: I know you know it is what it is so.
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 4: Did michelle eat like a truck driver.
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 6: She can scarf down tacos. I'll just leave it at that.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 4: I was just curious.
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 6: I'm saving a couple of those stories for the memoir.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 6: You've got to hold back something. Mary, what's coming up
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 6: on the show tonight?
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 4: So tonight on the podcast, the livecast, 7.15 p.m. Eastern Time.
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 4: It's live on Rumble, YouTube, and Getter. I have the
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 4: syndicated political cartoonist A.F. Branko will be joining us. And yeah,
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 4: and I have, obviously since it's video, I can show his,
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 4: his cartoons. If you've ever, you know exactly what his
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 4: work looks like. If you see a political cartoon, you'll know,
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 4: you may not know it's his, but you'll recognize a
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 4: lot of them. So we're going to talk about like
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 4: how he got into the business, you know, what's happening
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 4: with the demise of newspapers. How does that affect his
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 4: business and the rise of AI? So there's a lot
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 4: of things to talk to him about. So I'm super excited.
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 4: I tried a long time to get him on and
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 4: it worked finally.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 6: Well, that's fantastic. Where can people go if they want
• 1:46:03

  Speaker 4: Just look for Mary Walter Radio on Rumble, YouTube, and Getter.
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 4: And also tonight at 525, I'll be on with Ed
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 4: Henry on Newsmax.
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 6: Mary Walter joining us on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Mary,
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 6: good to have you on today.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 15: Thanks.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 4: Thank you so much. I'm going to send you Malamars.
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 4: My husband's going to kill me because a postage will
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 4: be worth more than the actual Malamars.
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 6: I'm intrigued.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 13: All right.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 4: Thank you, my friend.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 6: I'll be on the ethnic aisle after the show. Mary
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 6: Walter joining us today.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 7: Malamar.
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 6: Is that what they call them? Malamars. Dylan, you know
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 6: what I was thinking? Yellow-bellied hairy marmots, which is the groundhog.
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 6: That's what I was thinking.
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 2: I thought these were fish. I don't know.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 6: You thought they were fish.
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know what a Malamar is.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was thinking like a seal type, like the walruses.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I could never eat that, but that's what it
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 2: sounds like.
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 6: So when she was talking about dipping their butts in
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 6: graham cracker and, you know, smearing them with chocolate, I'm like,
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 6: what's going on in Jersey? Get a little freaky deaky
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 6: on the Jersey shore. 901-260-5926, our telephone number. This is
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 6: the Todd Starnes Show. All right, Fox News just releasing
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 6: their power rankings. This is where we are now. They've
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 6: analyzed all of the polling data out there from various
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 6: and sundry polling places, and just passing along the information here.
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 6: When you look at the averages here, and they've got
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 6: the NBC News, Fox News, Marquette, New York Times-Siena, Reuters, Ipsos.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 6: Those are the polls we're talking about. NBC News has Democrats...
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 6: Leading in the latest House polling, that would be 50 percent,
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 6: Republicans 45 percent, giving Democrats plus five. Fox News has
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 6: Democrats at 51, Republicans at 44. That's Democrats plus seven.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 6: Marquette has Democrats plus eight. New York Times, Democrats plus seven.
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 6: And Reuters has Democrats plus seven. So averaging all of
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 6: those together, looking like Democrats are going to pick up
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 6: or could pick up seven seats in the midterm elections,
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 6: that would give them control over of the House of Representatives.
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 6: Democrats are performing better among likely voters. It's Democrats plus
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 6: 11 across the board. Unbelievable. But again, Republican votes are
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 6: just depressed right now. Not depressed, but like you need
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 6: a counselor, but they're just people are just, yeah, they're
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 6: going through some stuff. As gas prices have risen, so
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 6: has the Democrat Party's lead. A generic ballot when it
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 6: comes to gas prices, it's Democrats plus seven. Again, this
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 6: is all information coming from Fox News Channel. Now, when
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 6: you look at some of the individual issues, voters are
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 6: more likely to vote for somebody or less likely to
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 6: vote for somebody who supports Trump's tax law. The $ 5, 000 checks,
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 6: less likely. Funding on weapons in Israel, 55% less likely
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 6: to vote for that candidate. Build data centers, 64%. All right,
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 6: that is a huge issue among voters. And it's one
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 6: of these not-in-my-backyard things. When you actually... When you take
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 6: a breath and you stop listening to the hyperventilating libtards,
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 6: you realize that there is no health issue. And in
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 6: many cases, I was reading one report yesterday. Are you
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 6: ready for this? Because the latest argument is, well, the
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 6: data centers are scarfing up all of our water. They're
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 6: slurping up all of our water. Elon is slurping up
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 6: our water. Well, it turns out that the average country
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 6: club with a golf course uses more water than one
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 6: of Elon's data centers. Just want to throw that out there.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 6: And again, facts matter. Are there more MAGA votes out there?
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 6: According to this, candidates endorsed by Trump, more likely to
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 6: vote for or less likely to vote for? 51% say
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 6: they're less likely to vote for candidates endorsed by Trump,
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 6: which is interesting because we've had some of the candidates
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 6: on here over the past couple of weeks, and if
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 6: you've noticed, they're not talking about Trump all that much.
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 6: That tells me the consultants, they know, they know. I'm
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 6: just telling you. All right, folks, been a good day.
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 6: Head over to ToddStearns.com. We've got the story up about
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 6: the polling results. These Democrats are dangerous. And you've got
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 6: to go read the story. TomSterns.com. We're going to be
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 6: right back at it tomorrow. Get out there. Be safe.
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 6: Be good, everybody.
