- 2:18Speaker 3: Wow.
- 2:18Speaker 2: This morning, it started out, it has been a busy morning.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Was on with our good friend Larry O'Connor who's a
- 2:25Speaker 2: radio host wm AL out of Washington, TC, and had
- 2:30Speaker 2: me on talking about the Tennessee Race and also the
- 2:33Speaker 2: new book coming out, the Golden Age, How Trump Saved America,
- 2:37Speaker 2: and just had a terrific time of terrific conversation. And
- 2:40Speaker 2: the first thing, the first thing O'Connor said, is you've
- 2:43Speaker 2: got to you've got to invite me to Memphis stars.
- 2:46Speaker 2: I hear it as a great town, and it is
- 2:48Speaker 2: a great town, thanks quite frankly to President Trump sitting
- 2:52Speaker 2: in the National Guard and sitting in the Memphis Saved
- 2:54Speaker 2: Task Force. Crime here is like cut in half and
- 2:58Speaker 2: it's great. And yeah, people are are you know, people
- 3:01Speaker 2: are getting shot. Yeah, I get that, but but it's
- 3:04Speaker 2: happening in the bad parts of town. So you're safe
- 3:06Speaker 2: if you're in the good parts of town. And you're
- 3:08Speaker 2: pretty much safe if you're in the downtown area. By
- 3:11Speaker 2: the way, there's like a huge duck festival, a duck convention, uh,
- 3:15Speaker 2: Ducks Unlimited, and they had a historic I mean thousands
- 3:19Speaker 2: of people in downtown Memphis and they were you know,
- 3:22Speaker 2: duck hunters. So that was a good thing. I want
- 3:26Speaker 2: to start out today with the story and this is
- 3:28Speaker 2: just weird and it illustrates a point that I wrote
- 3:33Speaker 2: about in the in the Golden Age.
- 3:36Speaker 3: Uh.
- 3:36Speaker 2: There is a high school, Derby High School, in Kansas,
- 3:40Speaker 2: and we have a lot of Kansas lilsteners, we have
- 3:42Speaker 2: a lot of radio stations in Kansas that that carry
- 3:46Speaker 2: the show. And Derby is uh is in the is
- 3:51Speaker 2: in the news, and it's uh, it's a weird story.
- 3:54Speaker 2: So the high school yearbook just came out. And I
- 3:56Speaker 2: don't know about you guys back when, Dylan, where you
- 3:59Speaker 2: did you guys have like a physical copy of the
- 4:01Speaker 2: yearbook when you were when you were in school?
- 4:04Speaker 4: Oh?
- 4:04Speaker 5: Yes, we did.
- 4:05Speaker 3: You know.
- 4:05Speaker 2: It's like the thing you always want to make sure
- 4:08Speaker 2: you know you're in the yearbook and you go through
- 4:11Speaker 2: and you count how many times and that's you know
- 4:14Speaker 2: you're in the year book, and that's how you know
- 4:16Speaker 2: your social status.
- 4:17Speaker 5: Yes, Todd, thank you. That is so good. I thought
- 4:20Speaker 5: I was the only one that did that because I
- 4:22Speaker 5: I was looking for myself multiple times. Yeah.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Wow, So Derby is I think it's outside of Wichita,
- 4:28Speaker 2: So I'm sure Dalton, Dalton Glascock will know all about that.
- 4:32Speaker 2: But it's not a big town. It's a suburb, a
- 4:35Speaker 2: southern suburb of Wichita, and they have about twenty five
- 4:38Speaker 2: thousand people, so it's a big suburb. And so anyway,
- 4:41Speaker 2: they have this high school yearbook and you know, you
- 4:45Speaker 2: know how it is a high school yearbooks. She got
- 4:47Speaker 2: the class photos, so everybody's got their picture. I used
- 4:51Speaker 2: to hate those days, but I got to tell you,
- 4:53Speaker 2: I took some pretty good pictures back in the day, Dylan.
- 4:57Speaker 2: I'm just telling you, I look pretty good, pretty snazzy,
- 5:00Speaker 2: not too I was not too keen. I think my
- 5:04Speaker 2: my freshman year I had the that was when all
- 5:07Speaker 2: the guys were wearing the hair feathered right down the middle,
- 5:11Speaker 2: and so I literally that was not a good look
- 5:14Speaker 2: for me.
- 5:15Speaker 5: Well it's okay, it's an acquired taste.
- 5:17Speaker 2: My sophomore year was worse. So I was in the
- 5:20Speaker 2: school musical and I played an old person, and so
- 5:24Speaker 2: they put all this makeup, this old people makeup, and
- 5:27Speaker 2: we had our cast party at the Catholic parish like
- 5:30Speaker 2: Fellowship Paul, and it had an old gas oven, and
- 5:33Speaker 2: I guess the gas built up and I just happened
- 5:36Speaker 2: to be standing in front of it when the when
- 5:39Speaker 2: the gas blew out and there's like a huge blast.
- 5:42Speaker 2: Oh no, nobody got injured except for me. And it
- 5:45Speaker 2: blew off all the facial hair that I had, including
- 5:47Speaker 2: my eyebrows. Oh yeah, So that that was the that
- 5:50Speaker 2: was that happened on a Friday. A Friday night. On Monday,
- 5:55Speaker 2: we had school pictures and that was my sophomore photograph.
- 5:58Speaker 2: I have no eyebrows.
- 5:59Speaker 5: Oh you didn't even get them penciled in.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Nothing, No, you could it was not a yeah, and
- 6:03Speaker 2: well also looked like I had like I looked like
- 6:05Speaker 2: a lobster because my face got flash burned. I had.
- 6:10Speaker 2: It was terrible except where my glasses were, so I
- 6:13Speaker 2: really looked like, you know, a freak of nature.
- 6:15Speaker 5: No, I have to try to find that somewhere, right,
- 6:17Speaker 5: it's terrible. That can't just live in my mind.
- 6:19Speaker 2: And I blew all my hair back and sends it
- 6:21Speaker 2: together like I was like one of those little you know,
- 6:24Speaker 2: those pencils with the little trolls on that, and you
- 6:27Speaker 2: know you roll it together in your hands like that.
- 6:29Speaker 2: That's what my hair looked like.
- 6:30Speaker 5: That's what they should have labeled you in the year
- 6:33Speaker 5: this is a Todd Trolls troll Stars.
- 6:38Speaker 2: So anyway, you know you have all that kind of
- 6:39Speaker 2: stuff in your earbook, right, and you know the senior superlatives.
- 6:42Speaker 2: I was most talented by the way.
- 6:44Speaker 5: I was friendless.
- 6:45Speaker 2: Were you really?
- 6:46Speaker 5: Yes?
- 6:47Speaker 2: I believe that.
- 6:48Speaker 5: I believe you're most talented.
- 6:49Speaker 2: I believe that they had me playing a piano and
- 6:52Speaker 2: they had some other chick. I can't remember her name. No,
- 6:55Speaker 2: her name was Lynette. How did I just remember that
- 6:57Speaker 2: her name is Lynette and she was like posed seductively
- 7:01Speaker 2: on top of the upright piano.
- 7:03Speaker 5: Oh wow, for high school.
- 7:06Speaker 2: For high school. Yeah, we're a little you know, we're
- 7:08Speaker 2: a little progressively.
- 7:09Speaker 5: What did she get?
- 7:10Speaker 2: She was most talented too, So we always did male
- 7:12Speaker 2: and female senior superlatives and so anyway, so yeah, so
- 7:17Speaker 2: you count. So it's all about just documenting the school year. Well,
- 7:21Speaker 2: at Derby High School, their yearbook was filled with all
- 7:27Speaker 2: sorts of inappropriate material. They had one student depicted as
- 7:31Speaker 2: a drag queen. It was a teenage boy and he
- 7:33Speaker 2: was wearing like a leopard print top and blackfishnet stockings.
- 7:40Speaker 2: There were articles attacking Charlie Kirk supporters. It is all
- 7:44Speaker 2: in the yearbook. High school yearbook. There were quotes mocking
- 7:49Speaker 2: people who love Jesus who go to church. This was
- 7:53Speaker 2: in Derby High School in Kansas, the Heartland. There was
- 7:58Speaker 2: also a full pay attacking ice agents for deporting all
- 8:03Speaker 2: the illegal alien invaders. And of course this goes without saying,
- 8:06Speaker 2: of course, you know, there was a huge thing in
- 8:09Speaker 2: there talking about how awful President Trump is. They call
- 8:14Speaker 2: the president the worst president in American history. It's a
- 8:17Speaker 2: high school yearbook. And it makes you wonder because back
- 8:23Speaker 2: when we were in school, it was like, okay, most
- 8:26Speaker 2: likely to succeed here is like most likely to become
- 8:29Speaker 2: an Antifa terrorist. I mean, what's going what's going on here?
- 8:35Speaker 2: What's going on here? How did this happen? It's almost
- 8:39Speaker 2: as if the school district hired the staff of the
- 8:43Speaker 2: New York Times, Washington Post and Vanity Fair and said,
- 8:47Speaker 2: would you mind coming in and producing our high school yearbook.
- 8:50Speaker 2: It is not a yearbook. It's a piece of propaganda.
- 8:54Speaker 2: It's anti America propaganda at a high school in the
- 8:58Speaker 2: middle of the heartland. And the thing is, this is
- 9:02Speaker 2: nothing new. It's not some sort of an anomaly. We're
- 9:05Speaker 2: dealing with these kinds of issues at public schools across
- 9:10Speaker 2: the nation. And this is one of the reasons why
- 9:14Speaker 2: I wrote The Golden Age, was because as much as
- 9:18Speaker 2: President Trump has done for this nation, we have so
- 9:21Speaker 2: much more work to do. And I wrote a chapter
- 9:24Speaker 2: in the book and it's I mean, it's the theme
- 9:28Speaker 2: of the book is, for example, how Trump saved common sense,
- 9:31Speaker 2: How Trump saved my hometown, How Trump saved our schools.
- 9:36Speaker 2: That's like chapter three of my book, Page thirty five,
- 9:41Speaker 2: and we talk about how the President has stepped in
- 9:44Speaker 2: and he's he started the process of getting rid of
- 9:48Speaker 2: all of this radical propaganda. But this is going to
- 9:52Speaker 2: be a long term, a long term project, and it's
- 9:56Speaker 2: going to require all of us standing together and working
- 10:00Speaker 2: together to reclaim our public schools. Now one of the
- 10:04Speaker 2: ways we can do that, and I you know, the
- 10:06Speaker 2: President promised that he was going to dismantle and defund
- 10:10Speaker 2: and abolish the Department of Education. I hope he delivers
- 10:15Speaker 2: on that promise because we have got to have this
- 10:17Speaker 2: local control of our schools to stop these radical propagandasts
- 10:23Speaker 2: from filling our kids with all sorts of crazy notions. Now,
- 10:27Speaker 2: when I see this, and let me just say when
- 10:30Speaker 2: I when I see these kinds of your books, it's
- 10:33Speaker 2: concerning because these are symptoms. These are signs. This is
- 10:37Speaker 2: the canary in the minefield, right, This is in the
- 10:42Speaker 2: coal mine, rather not the minefield and blow up the
- 10:44Speaker 2: canary the little feathers all over the box. No, the
- 10:47Speaker 2: canary in the in the in the mine and the
- 10:49Speaker 2: coal mine. Right, these are warning signs that something is
- 10:53Speaker 2: not right, something is off. And some of her I
- 10:56Speaker 2: go starns, there are just a bunch of kids. They're
- 10:59Speaker 2: just a bunch of stupid teenagers. They don't know anything.
- 11:03Speaker 2: It's just a yearbook. No, it's not. Because these yearbooks
- 11:08Speaker 2: they have advisors, they have teachers that oversee all of this,
- 11:13Speaker 2: they have administrators who approve all of the copy. And
- 11:17Speaker 2: that tells me that a lot of people in Derby,
- 11:20Speaker 2: Kansas signed off on this. A lot of grown ups
- 11:24Speaker 2: signed off on this. You say, well, Tom, what does
- 11:28Speaker 2: this have to do with anything outside of Derby, Kansas. Well,
- 11:31Speaker 2: it has everything to do with this, because just a
- 11:35Speaker 2: couple of days ago, on this program, we told you
- 11:39Speaker 2: about Abdul l Said, the guy who is poised to
- 11:43Speaker 2: become the next United States Senator from the great state
- 11:46Speaker 2: of Michigan. And we now know that a lot of
- 11:50Speaker 2: the support this guy had l seed actually came not
- 11:55Speaker 2: from blue collar workers, but from young per professionals, young voters,
- 12:01Speaker 2: college towns. That's where that's where the numbers swelled in
- 12:06Speaker 2: support of a guy who thinks America is racist. Em
- 12:11Speaker 2: pals around with people who say that nine to eleven
- 12:13Speaker 2: was our fault, that we we our behavior led to
- 12:18Speaker 2: what happened on nine to eleven. That tells me that
- 12:23Speaker 2: these kids are being indoctrinated and they're coming out of
- 12:27Speaker 2: these schools, and that many of them are believing that
- 12:30Speaker 2: America is an evil place, and that that capitalism is evil,
- 12:35Speaker 2: and that all of these things have to be eradicated.
- 12:39Speaker 2: And for too long we have had this mentality of well,
- 12:42Speaker 2: it's just an old it's a student newspaper, it's a
- 12:45Speaker 2: school year. Mind, what is a big deal. No, it
- 12:47Speaker 2: is a big deal because they're telling us what they're
- 12:50Speaker 2: learning these Do you really think, just hear me on this,
- 12:54Speaker 2: Do you really think that the average family in Dermy,
- 12:57Speaker 2: Kansas is sitting around the dinner table. They're eating their
- 13:00Speaker 2: I don't know whatever, they eat their pork loins. They're
- 13:04Speaker 2: eating their pork loins. They're in Derby around the dinner
- 13:07Speaker 2: table talking about son. What do you think about those
- 13:10Speaker 2: ice agents? I don't know. I don't think they're having
- 13:14Speaker 2: those conversations, but I do think they're having them in school.
- 13:19Speaker 2: I sure do you think the you think the construction worker,
- 13:26Speaker 2: the big Burley construction worker wearing the flannel shirt and
- 13:29Speaker 2: the blue jeans, coming home from work, putting his hard
- 13:31Speaker 2: hat down and sitting around the table with the kids
- 13:34Speaker 2: and the wife and his teenage boy there we'll call
- 13:38Speaker 2: him Carl Junior, and Carl Juniors showing up at the
- 13:43Speaker 2: dinner table wearing fishnet stockings. You think Dad's okay with that?
- 13:49Speaker 2: I don't think so. Think, Oh, Carl Juniors taking taking
- 13:55Speaker 2: you think Carl Seniors taking Carl Junior down to donald
- 13:58Speaker 2: Rotary club. Boys. I want you to meet Carl Junior.
- 14:01Speaker 2: He's got to run in his stockings, but he's a
- 14:03Speaker 2: fine boy. I don't think so. I don't think so. America.
- 14:10Speaker 2: So all that to say, this is happening at schools,
- 14:13Speaker 2: and many of you moms and dads are so busy
- 14:16Speaker 2: with your own life. You're doing so much stuff that
- 14:19Speaker 2: the priority in your life is not your kids and
- 14:21Speaker 2: what they're actually learning in these schools. And so they
- 14:24Speaker 2: graduate and they leave you, and when they come back
- 14:27Speaker 2: from college, you know, your your daughters, they're they're you know,
- 14:31Speaker 2: they put on forty fifty pounds, they're whereing, you know,
- 14:34Speaker 2: the flip flops, and they got the magenta hair and
- 14:37Speaker 2: the nose rings, and you know, they don't even know
- 14:39Speaker 2: their pronouns anymore. And this is this is why I
- 14:43Speaker 2: wrote The Golden Age, because we gotta we got to
- 14:45Speaker 2: talk about these things, and we got to do something
- 14:48Speaker 2: about it, and and chapter three explains how we do that.
- 14:52Speaker 2: But yeah, ladies and gentlemen, we need to be very
- 14:55Speaker 2: concerned about the direction of this country because soon there
- 14:59Speaker 2: will be more of those kinds of people voting than
- 15:03Speaker 2: people like you and me. And we've got to do
- 15:06Speaker 2: something about that because these democrats socialists are slap nuts crazy.
- 15:10Speaker 2: All right, gotta take a break. Nine oh one two
- 15:12Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six hour telephone number. That's
- 15:15Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 15:19Speaker 2: You can get a copy by the way of the
- 15:22Speaker 2: Golden Age wherever you buy your books. This is the
- 15:25Speaker 2: Todd Stern Show.
- 15:26Speaker 6: Half a century later, Watergate still shapes how Americans view power, scandal,
- 15:32Speaker 6: and trust. This weekend, the America two fifty film series
- 15:37Speaker 6: presents Watergates, Secrets and Betrayals, revisit the investigation through archival footage, interviews,
- 15:45Speaker 6: and new arguments about what happened. Launch Saturday and Sunday
- 15:49Speaker 6: at seven pm Eastern on Salem News Channel.
- 16:06Speaker 2: All Right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Tom Searns
- 16:09Speaker 2: Radio Show. You know, when it comes to Anthony Fauci,
- 16:14Speaker 2: and again the problem, the problem with Republicans is that
- 16:19Speaker 2: they don't want to They don't want to do what
- 16:21Speaker 2: needs to be done right. And I don't know if
- 16:24Speaker 2: it's is it a case of lily liveredness. That may
- 16:29Speaker 2: very well be the issue here, But for whatever reason,
- 16:34Speaker 2: they don't, They really don't want to punish people who
- 16:38Speaker 2: have who have done bad things. And that bothers me.
- 16:43Speaker 2: It bothers me a lot. Now. I know that, for example,
- 16:49Speaker 2: there are some Republicans that are not too sure that
- 16:53Speaker 2: they're going to vote to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress. Now,
- 16:57Speaker 2: Josh Hawley is not one of them, He said his
- 17:01Speaker 2: office is already drafted a memo to the Acting Attorney
- 17:07Speaker 2: General Tom Blanche urging him to pursue a criminal contempt
- 17:12Speaker 2: case against Fauci. I want to go back to Steve
- 17:15Speaker 2: Bannon for example example, and Steve Bannon was held in
- 17:19Speaker 2: contempt of Congress. The Democrats did, and you know what,
- 17:22Speaker 2: the Biden Justice Department sent Bannon to prison for four
- 17:26Speaker 2: months because Bannon refused to comply. Bannon refused to comply,
- 17:30Speaker 2: he refused to testify. They found him in contempt. Same
- 17:33Speaker 2: thing happened to Peter Navarro four months in federal prison. So,
- 17:38Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, I say this about the Republicans, and
- 17:41Speaker 2: maybe you disagree with this idea here, but here goes.
- 17:45Speaker 2: If we're not going to start holding these people accountable,
- 17:48Speaker 2: stop holding the hearings, Just stop holding because it's wasting time,
- 17:53Speaker 2: it's wasting taxpayer money, and it's just aggravating the base
- 17:57Speaker 2: of the party. I want to know, why is it
- 18:01Speaker 2: that we're over two years into the Trump administration and
- 18:04Speaker 2: nobody's nobody's been nobody's been held accountable for anything. Russia, Russia, Russia,
- 18:10Speaker 2: the collusion oaks nothing, And I think at some point
- 18:17Speaker 2: the voters of the Republican Party are just going to
- 18:20Speaker 2: just just turn away and just walk away. So I'm
- 18:24Speaker 2: wondering if we are just better off if if they
- 18:27Speaker 2: are not going to hold these people accountable. Just stop
- 18:29Speaker 2: holding the hearings, all right, Gotta take a break here
- 18:32Speaker 2: at nine o one two six zero five, nine twenty
- 18:34Speaker 2: six again, get yourself a copy of The Golden Age.
- 18:38Speaker 2: It will be in bookstores. We launched the book officially
- 18:41Speaker 2: August eleventh. On Tuesday. We're going to be doing a

- 20:09Speaker 2: crowded Republican primary. Three candidates Senator Marshall Black, Britain, Congressman
- 20:14Speaker 2: John Rose and our next guest, state Representative Moni Fritz.
- 20:19Speaker 2: Monni joins us on the Patriot Mobile news maker line. Bonnie,
- 20:22Speaker 2: where are you and what are you doing right now?
- 20:26Speaker 7: Well, I'm in Kingston. Good morning Memphis, and good morning Todd.
- 20:30Speaker 8: Thank you.
- 20:31Speaker 7: I'm in Kingston, Tennessee.
- 20:32Speaker 8: Right now.
- 20:32Speaker 7: We're delivering some drinks to some of the folks that
- 20:35Speaker 7: are holding up Fritz signs around the district here in
- 20:37Speaker 7: East Tennessee and shaking a few last few hands. And
- 20:41Speaker 7: give me a favor. When you see Pastor Hibbs, tell
- 20:44Speaker 7: him I've been I have been scheduled twice to try
- 20:48Speaker 7: to go out and take him a copy of our
- 20:49Speaker 7: prayer resolution. If you'll remember in twenty twenty four when
- 20:53Speaker 7: we call Tennessee and the unless of fasting and prayer,
- 20:56Speaker 7: Pastor Hibbs had his church wearing orange so that they
- 21:01Speaker 7: would remember to pray with Tennessee. And tell them how
- 21:03Speaker 7: much I appreciate loving for that.
- 21:05Speaker 2: You know what, I will definitely do that, and I'll
- 21:07Speaker 2: mention that in my remarks on Sunday. You know, Moni,
- 21:11Speaker 2: it's been interesting you're you have not been one to
- 21:13Speaker 2: shy away from your faith. As a matter of fact,
- 21:15Speaker 2: You've made that really a central component of your of
- 21:19Speaker 2: your race. They're saying that you're the underdog in the race,
- 21:24Speaker 2: but I think you're actually winning the social media side
- 21:27Speaker 2: of the contest.
- 21:29Speaker 7: I think so too.
- 21:30Speaker 4: We.
- 21:32Speaker 7: I think we're winning and I expect to win tonight, Todd.
- 21:35Speaker 7: I know that shocks people to hear that, But when
- 21:39Speaker 7: people have been asked after they vote, who did they
- 21:41Speaker 7: vote for? We had one of the young ladies there
- 21:44Speaker 7: in Memphis had asked on those questions, and we took
- 21:48Speaker 7: the great majority of the votes.
- 21:51Speaker 2: Why do you say that money? Because when you look
- 21:53Speaker 2: at the polling data that's out there, when you look
- 21:55Speaker 2: at the amount of money that's been raised, I mean,
- 21:58Speaker 2: in all honesty, you you if you take a look
- 22:01Speaker 2: at how little you have raised, and the fact that
- 22:05Speaker 2: you don't have that massive platform like a Senator Blackborn
- 22:08Speaker 2: or a Congressman John Rose, and yet you are being
- 22:11Speaker 2: mentioned as a contender. Why do you think that?
- 22:14Speaker 4: Is?
- 22:15Speaker 9: All?
- 22:15Speaker 4: Right?
- 22:15Speaker 7: All for two words, But God, we were called to
- 22:18Speaker 7: do this. He is able. If we do win tonight,
- 22:21Speaker 7: it won't be the hard work of all the hundreds
- 22:23Speaker 7: of people have volunteers. It will be a miracle. I
- 22:26Speaker 7: still believe he splits the Red Sea, and if this
- 22:30Speaker 7: happens tonight, it will be that the Lord God Almighty
- 22:34Speaker 7: has has shown grace to the country board from Kingston
- 22:37Speaker 7: and put him in front of this. And if I
- 22:39Speaker 7: don't win electorly fasts will We've got to say Christ
- 22:43Speaker 7: is king across the state of Tennessee and that the
- 22:46Speaker 7: Constitution is law. So I think in that regard we've
- 22:49Speaker 7: already won.
- 22:51Speaker 2: No, it's it's really been remarkable to see the grassroots
- 22:54Speaker 2: rising up really across the volunteer state and embracing your
- 22:58Speaker 2: message and your campaign funded by Tennesseeans. You haven't taken
- 23:03Speaker 2: any outside money, have you?
- 23:05Speaker 4: No?
- 23:06Speaker 7: I think we had one check come from Alaska, but
- 23:08Speaker 7: I think he was maybe another one or two, but
- 23:10Speaker 7: they were like military members or something that's sent a
- 23:12Speaker 7: few dollars in and we appreciate that. But yeah, we've
- 23:16Speaker 7: raised somewhere shy three hundred and fifty thousand dollars and
- 23:20Speaker 7: I think John and Marsha are probably going to spend
- 23:22Speaker 7: a combined twenty five to thirty five million dollars.
- 23:26Speaker 2: Wow, what does that tell you? What does that tell
- 23:28Speaker 2: you about the race?
- 23:29Speaker 7: Then it tells me that there's too much money in politics.
- 23:34Speaker 8: There's too much.
- 23:34Speaker 7: Out of state money in politics, and we've allowed it
- 23:37Speaker 7: to become something that is a donor class sport rather
- 23:41Speaker 7: than a service to the people. You know, I've said
- 23:44Speaker 7: this many times. I think that both the other candidates,
- 23:47Speaker 7: I love them, I wish them the best, but they
- 23:49Speaker 7: did a great injustice by not being willing to debate
- 23:52Speaker 7: and take questions and then rebut answers together. I think
- 23:56Speaker 7: that they and I realized Center Blackman has great name
- 23:59Speaker 7: rate condition, but Congressman Rose, I think he just he
- 24:03Speaker 7: stabbed himself in the foot when he said I'll debate
- 24:07Speaker 7: and then he backed out, and now he's calling for
- 24:10Speaker 7: Sender Blackburn to debate somebody before the general. I said this,
- 24:15Speaker 7: and I say it with tongue in cheap, but it's
- 24:17Speaker 7: truth is that John only wants to debate women because
- 24:21Speaker 7: he had an opportunity to debate a man multiple times
- 24:23Speaker 7: and he declined.
- 24:25Speaker 2: That is interesting, right, because he did. And I asked
- 24:28Speaker 2: him on this program, I said, would you be willing
- 24:31Speaker 2: to debate Monti Fritz and he said no, absolutely not.
- 24:35Speaker 2: But now he is willing to debate if he's a
- 24:38Speaker 2: nominee or he will debate the Democrat in the race.
- 24:41Speaker 2: Her name is Jerry Green. I have been a strong proponent.
- 24:46Speaker 2: I'm with you. I like all three of you guys.
- 24:48Speaker 2: I think you're great. All three of you are great
- 24:50Speaker 2: Americans in my book. But it really bothers me that
- 24:53Speaker 2: you're the only one that's willing to debate. And that's
- 24:56Speaker 2: a problem.
- 24:59Speaker 7: Well, I think so. I think that it's it's an
- 25:02Speaker 7: indication of a timidity of spirit, a fear of confronting things.
- 25:08Speaker 7: And I think a lot of Tennesseeans are looking for
- 25:12Speaker 7: somebody who will will confront issues. And many people will
- 25:16Speaker 7: disagree on some of the positions that I take, but
- 25:20Speaker 7: I often, most often hear from them. At least I
- 25:24Speaker 7: know where you stand.
- 25:24Speaker 8: Money.
- 25:25Speaker 7: You don't beat around the bush and and kind of
- 25:27Speaker 7: meaely mouth things like some of these career DC politicians do.
- 25:30Speaker 2: So you are somewhat and I don't want to I
- 25:33Speaker 2: don't want to elevate you to profit status, but you
- 25:37Speaker 2: are somewhat prophetic in your approach to Islam. And I
- 25:40Speaker 2: want to get to the controversy some of your comments
- 25:43Speaker 2: caused in just a minute, But yesterday on this program,
- 25:46Speaker 2: we were talking about what was happening in McKinney, Texas,
- 25:49Speaker 2: hundreds of people turning out to a city council meeting
- 25:52Speaker 2: enraged over the creation of a massive mega mosque and
- 25:56Speaker 2: a Muslim centric community there. City leader completely ignored the
- 26:01Speaker 2: hundreds of people that turned out and approved that project.
- 26:05Speaker 2: Same thing is happening in Mooresville, North Carolina at this
- 26:09Speaker 2: very moment they had more than five hundred people turning
- 26:12Speaker 2: out there to oppose a mosque development in North Carolina.
- 26:16Speaker 2: And then we all saw what happened in Michigan with
- 26:19Speaker 2: the election of al said Abdul al Said, as the
- 26:24Speaker 2: Democrat nominee for the Senate coming out of Michigan State
- 26:29Speaker 2: Representative Fritz we are looking at the rise of Islam.
- 26:33Speaker 2: How concerned are you about that? What are you hearing
- 26:36Speaker 2: from Tennesseeans? And what would you do about that? If
- 26:39Speaker 2: you're elected governor?
- 26:42Speaker 7: Most of the Tennesseans agree with made that the Islamization
- 26:44Speaker 7: of the state, not the Muslim person. The person Christ
- 26:48Speaker 7: died for all of them, you know, for God so
- 26:50Speaker 7: loved the world he gave his only begotten son. That's
- 26:52Speaker 7: whether you grew up in a Baptist church or some
- 26:54Speaker 7: synagogue or some temple or some mosque wherever he wants
- 26:58Speaker 7: us to come to the saving knowledge of Christ. But
- 27:00Speaker 7: the movement of Islam, it is a political movement designed
- 27:04Speaker 7: to force us into their political system at the point
- 27:08Speaker 7: of the sphere or the end of a rifle. I
- 27:11Speaker 7: will not tolerate it. I've called on governor's leads to
- 27:13Speaker 7: declare the Council for American Islamic Relations and the Muslim
- 27:17Speaker 7: Brotherhood as enemies as foreign terrorists. I think that's one
- 27:22Speaker 7: of the first things I'll do as governor because that
- 27:24Speaker 7: opens the avenue to start exploring the funding. We heard
- 27:28Speaker 7: here in East Tennessee that was Muslim voting Day in
- 27:32Speaker 7: mythis last week, and we heard that they provided interpreters
- 27:37Speaker 7: for Arabic, another language, and French so that folks could vote.
- 27:42Speaker 7: I got to tell you, Todd, I'm asking the question
- 27:44Speaker 7: in my mind many Tennesseeans are if you're a citizen
- 27:47Speaker 7: and you're able to vote, why the heck do you
- 27:50Speaker 7: need an interpreter to understand the ballot? That's problematic for me.
- 27:55Speaker 7: This is a movement.
- 27:56Speaker 8: Again.
- 27:57Speaker 7: I love the people, but I hate the sin. Islam
- 27:59Speaker 7: is a sin, and it is a movement that is
- 28:04Speaker 7: designed to overtake our United States. We have been colonized
- 28:07Speaker 7: in New York City, in Minneapolis, in Dearborn, Michigan, in
- 28:10Speaker 7: many places in Texas. I've refused to sit idly by
- 28:14Speaker 7: like most of these weak males and politics have done,
- 28:18Speaker 7: and not speak up against it. It disappoints me greatly
- 28:22Speaker 7: that Cornishman Rose has backed away from that issue. As
- 28:26Speaker 7: a Christian, I'll say this last. It gets a little
- 28:29Speaker 7: more maybe preaching As a Christian, I think that Jesus
- 28:33Speaker 7: is the way, the truth and the life, and no
- 28:35Speaker 7: man comes to the Father except by Him. And I
- 28:38Speaker 7: think with that view, I can only want to evangelize
- 28:42Speaker 7: those who are lost in going to Hell, and that
- 28:44Speaker 7: includes the adherence to Islam. So I think it's time
- 28:48Speaker 7: for us to be bold. I think Kennesthends are bad.
- 28:51Speaker 7: There's an inscription on the Alvin se York statue at
- 28:55Speaker 7: the Capitol in Nashville, and it says, under this rifle
- 28:58Speaker 7: and his pistol, his courage Jennis Skiel this one Tennessee,
- 29:03Speaker 7: and then it talks about what Alvin York accomplished in
- 29:08Speaker 7: World War One. I think the people of Tennessee won
- 29:11Speaker 7: a little spirit of York. They're sick of the spirit
- 29:14Speaker 7: of al Gore. They want a futt Al York, so
- 29:17Speaker 7: we hope to bring some of it.
- 29:18Speaker 2: Well, we certainly wish you nothing but the very best
- 29:21Speaker 2: out there on the campaign trail. You've run a good campaign,
- 29:25Speaker 2: You've run a spirited campaign, and I am just I'm
- 29:27Speaker 2: really impressed. You have been all over the state and
- 29:30Speaker 2: a lot of people don't realize how big of a
- 29:32Speaker 2: state Tennessee is until you get on Interstate forty and
- 29:36Speaker 2: you're like, sweet mercy, this is a lot of ground
- 29:38Speaker 2: to cover. Oh, I think we lost. I think we
- 29:47Speaker 2: lost the state representatives. I think the state's larger than
- 29:51Speaker 2: some cell phone signals. But there's money Fritz out there
- 29:54Speaker 2: on the campaign trail, and we wish him nothing but
- 29:57Speaker 2: the best. Coming up, we're going to be talking to
- 29:59Speaker 2: State Senator Marshall Blackburn. You know he mentioned Alvin York,
- 30:03Speaker 2: and Alvin York is one of the great Tennessee heroes.
- 30:07Speaker 2: Back during World War One, Dylan Alvin York actually captured
- 30:13Speaker 2: just by himself, single handedly. He captured one hundred and
- 30:16Speaker 2: thirty two German prisoners. One guy.
- 30:20Speaker 5: He's solo.
- 30:20Speaker 2: That Yeah, that's he was. Yeah, born in Fintrist County, Tennessee,
- 30:26Speaker 2: and of course he got a state park named after him.
- 30:28Speaker 2: I think a lot of roads named after him. He
- 30:30Speaker 2: was one of the great great Tennessee fighters, so you
- 30:32Speaker 2: better have a road. Yeah, he's good guy. Grew up
- 30:35Speaker 2: in rural Tennessee, so he's he was a fighter. All right,
- 30:39Speaker 2: We've got to take a break there. And again, I
- 30:43Speaker 2: know that the mister Fritz was catching a lot of
- 30:45Speaker 2: heat because he said he wanted to outlaw Islam in
- 30:49Speaker 2: Tennessee and in his mind and his estimation, and I
- 30:53Speaker 2: agree with him on this. Actually that Islam is in
- 30:56Speaker 2: fact a political ideology. The question is how do we
- 31:00Speaker 2: deal with that? And right now, when you look at
- 31:02Speaker 2: Texas and North Carolina and Michigan and quite frankly New
- 31:05Speaker 2: York City with Zoorrot Mamdami, there is a major problem.
- 31:09Speaker 2: The Islamists are overrunning towns and communities in those states,
- 31:15Speaker 2: and the good people of Tennessee said, you know, we
- 31:17Speaker 2: don't want that here. And I will give credit to
- 31:21Speaker 2: mister Fritz. He's the only candidate out there that's actually
- 31:24Speaker 2: addressing this issue head on. And this is something that
- 31:28Speaker 2: every governor in every state is going to have to
- 31:31Speaker 2: deal with the rise of Islam in America. All right,
- 31:35Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 31:38Speaker 2: If you're listening to us across the great state of Tennessee,
- 31:41Speaker 2: go and vote. You need to get out and do
- 31:44Speaker 2: your duty as a citizen. This segment of the program,

- 32:52Speaker 2: If you're deador underage. For some reason, they always end
- 32:56Speaker 2: up on the Democrats side of the game.
- 32:57Speaker 8: There.
- 32:57Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, let's go to Texas. Edwin listening to us
- 33:01Speaker 2: on Patriot Talk nine to twenty. Hi, Edwin, what's on
- 33:04Speaker 2: your mind today?
- 33:06Speaker 10: Oh?
- 33:06Speaker 11: Yes, sir, I've listened to you quite often. And I'm
- 33:08Speaker 11: down here in Galveston County, south of Houston, and I'm
- 33:12Speaker 11: a retired attorney. I'm and I'm gonna style myself as
- 33:15Speaker 11: constitutional law attorney nowadays. Anyway, the point is, as to
- 33:19Speaker 11: all these candidates that are coming out and talking about
- 33:22Speaker 11: different forms of government, the Constitution already guarantees an article
- 33:27Speaker 11: force section for a Republican form of government. Okay, so
- 33:32Speaker 11: what does that mean? How do we implement that? Well,
- 33:34Speaker 11: here in the state of Texas, you have to register
- 33:37Speaker 11: your candidate candidacy and pay your fees to the Secretary
- 33:40Speaker 11: of State. Ok So, all candidates, not after you become elected,
- 33:44Speaker 11: but all candidates must swear allegiance to the Constitution of
- 33:49Speaker 11: the United States. And particularly to Article force, Section four,
- 33:54Speaker 11: which is the republican guarantee of a republican form of government,
- 33:58Speaker 11: which means that they cannot espouse any other form of
- 34:02Speaker 11: government to include democracy, Islamism, uh socialism, communism, fascism, Nazism, monarchism, anything.
- 34:12Speaker 11: They can only espouse a republican form of government as
- 34:16Speaker 11: guaranteed in the Constitution. And it needs to have in
- 34:19Speaker 11: there in the legislation upon penalty of perjury or fraud.
- 34:26Speaker 2: Yeah, Edwin, Look the reality here is and you're the
- 34:29Speaker 2: constitutional expert here in the conversation seems to me when
- 34:34Speaker 2: when you look at Islam, you have to ask these candidates,
- 34:38Speaker 2: you know, are they are they following the tenets of
- 34:40Speaker 2: Sharia law? That is, that is contrary to the United
- 34:44Speaker 2: States Constitution. And I guarantee, I mean if you're if
- 34:47Speaker 2: you're a true Muslim, you are following Sharia.
- 34:53Speaker 11: Exactly, right, sir. And but the point is is it
- 34:57Speaker 11: is antithetical to a the publican form of government. Therefore,
- 35:02Speaker 11: if the legislation is passed in state, the state stating
- 35:05Speaker 11: that you can only espouse a republican form of government
- 35:10Speaker 11: as guaranteed in the Constitution gets rid of everything. Yeah,
- 35:15Speaker 11: you think that's going to happen, Well, I mean it
- 35:18Speaker 11: has to be of course, it has to be pushed for.
- 35:20Speaker 11: As you well know, the Constitution is a parchment guarantee
- 35:23Speaker 11: unless you enforce the provisions of the Constitution.
- 35:28Speaker 2: It's a fair look, it's a fair point you raise,
- 35:30Speaker 2: Edwin And again it goes back to how serious are
- 35:34Speaker 2: the Republicans in Congress? How serious are Republicans across the
- 35:37Speaker 2: country when it comes to actually securing our founding documents
- 35:43Speaker 2: and our way of life? Because that is what is
- 35:45Speaker 2: under attack right now in Michigan. This is insane and
- 35:48Speaker 2: absurd what's happening up there. But that's the reality of
- 35:52Speaker 2: it when you do not stand up and you fight
- 35:54Speaker 2: for your freedoms. Ed when I got to run it
- 35:56Speaker 2: is a great thought. Beautiful area galvest County. Saw a
- 36:01Speaker 2: documentary about the big, big hurricane that hit there. Wow,

- 38:42Speaker 2: gonna be doing all three hours of the show. I'm

- 39:43Speaker 2: got to be. You cannot tell me we don't have
- 39:45Speaker 2: a professional putt putt golf league.
- 39:47Speaker 5: I'm sure that we do. On vacation, Like this past week,
- 39:51Speaker 5: I watched the professional uh what's it called we throw
- 39:54Speaker 5: the bag into the cornhole Cornhole Professional Cornhole Championship.
- 39:58Speaker 4: Wow.
- 39:59Speaker 5: Like if that's on TV, ESPN, like prime time, there's
- 40:03Speaker 5: got to be.
- 40:03Speaker 2: And we got Elvis week, So we got to figure
- 40:05Speaker 2: out we've got to do at least one show from Graceland.
- 40:08Speaker 2: I think our audience, I think the good people in
- 40:12Speaker 2: Bartlesville and Salem, Oregon need to need to hear us
- 40:17Speaker 2: broadcasting from the Jungle room.
- 40:19Speaker 5: I think so. I think the whole world needs.
- 40:21Speaker 2: To Would you wear a jumpsuit, one of the Elvis jumpsuits.
- 40:24Speaker 5: Whatever you tell me to wear, we gotta do that.
- 40:26Speaker 2: You gotta do the boss. Well, we can make Ian
- 40:28Speaker 2: could be like Ian. Ian's got sort of like Elvis hair.
- 40:31Speaker 5: Yeah, he just need side burn.
- 40:33Speaker 2: He could be like skinny, skinny Elvis skinny, and then
- 40:36Speaker 2: I could be you know, we could be bloated Elvis.
- 40:39Speaker 5: All the phases of his life.
- 40:40Speaker 2: That's it perfect, all right. So anyway, great to have
- 40:45Speaker 2: you with us. We're gonna be doing some weird stuff
- 40:47Speaker 2: all this week. Oh just want to share this information
- 40:50Speaker 2: all of our Dallas listeners. August twenty third, I'll be
- 40:53Speaker 2: speaking at the First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas. Our
- 40:56Speaker 2: good friend, Pastor Robert Jeffers is the senior pastor there
- 41:01Speaker 2: and a part of our Golden Age tour. So we
- 41:04Speaker 2: look forward to seeing all of you will be signing
- 41:06Speaker 2: books after the service there at first Baptist Dallas, and
- 41:09Speaker 2: of course this coming Sunday, Calvary Chapel, Chino Hills, then
- 41:12Speaker 2: Lancaster Baptist Church in Lancaster, California. Well, today also election Day,
- 41:18Speaker 2: and early this morning I was invited to attend a
- 41:21Speaker 2: breakfast with Senator Marshall Blackburn. She dropped by a Memphis
- 41:26Speaker 2: as election as voting is underway at this very hour,
- 41:30Speaker 2: and how did a chance to hear from the senator
- 41:32Speaker 2: And she made some interesting comments. And I think we're
- 41:35Speaker 2: going to start seeing a shift in the conversation out
- 41:39Speaker 2: on the campaign trail in many of these state elections
- 41:42Speaker 2: when it comes to the rise of socialism. Here's our
- 41:45Speaker 2: conversation with Senator Marsha Blackburn, running for governor. All right, Senator,
- 41:51Speaker 2: you said something new that I haven't heard a lot
- 41:52Speaker 2: out on the campaign trail about this call that we
- 41:55Speaker 2: had in seventeen seventy six, and you tied an socialism
- 42:00Speaker 2: and the concerns of our socialism.
- 42:02Speaker 12: Yes, I said, you know, seventeen seventy six the.
- 42:06Speaker 13: Battle cry was the Britisher coming, and in twenty twenty
- 42:11Speaker 13: six it is the communists are coming. When you look
- 42:15Speaker 13: at what is happening across our country with these Democrat socialists,
- 42:19Speaker 13: and they are actually winning some of these Democrat primaries.
- 42:24Speaker 13: And they want to destroy our nation as we know it, our.
- 42:28Speaker 12: States as we know it.
- 42:30Speaker 13: They want to destroy private property and property rights. They
- 42:35Speaker 13: want to control your life twenty four seven three sixty five,
- 42:39Speaker 13: take your property, let the government decide everything, have one
- 42:44Speaker 13: body of Congress and have them appoint the president and
- 42:48Speaker 13: take away the will of the people.
- 42:51Speaker 12: So I think we have to.
- 42:52Speaker 13: Be mindful of this. It is time for Republicans to
- 42:56Speaker 13: show up.
- 42:57Speaker 2: And vote, and that does seem to be the issue
- 42:59Speaker 2: is getting the Republican vote out For some reason during primaries.
- 43:03Speaker 2: Republicans don't like to get out of the vote. What
- 43:06Speaker 2: are you hearing from the people that you've been talking
- 43:07Speaker 2: to again, you said, from Mountain City to Memphis, what
- 43:10Speaker 2: is the big issue on their minds?
- 43:13Speaker 13: Number one thing that we hear about statewide is the economy,
- 43:17Speaker 13: the cost of living, wanting inflation to come down, wanting
- 43:20Speaker 13: to make certain in Tennessee. We are focused on that
- 43:25Speaker 13: issue and focused on jobs.
- 43:28Speaker 12: Jobs that are.
- 43:29Speaker 13: Going to have growing wages, jobs that are good for
- 43:32Speaker 13: today and are going to be good for our kids
- 43:34Speaker 13: and our grandkids. And people will say, let's be smart
- 43:38Speaker 13: about this. Let's work to grow business. Of course, in
- 43:42Speaker 13: Shelby County, you've got a great example of an idea
- 43:45Speaker 13: that became a company that has become a global leader,
- 43:49Speaker 13: and that's FedEx.
- 43:50Speaker 12: Let's focus on.
- 43:51Speaker 13: Growing these and retaining jobs and recruiting businesses that are
- 43:56Speaker 13: going to fit in to what we've got going on
- 43:59Speaker 13: into to see. Second issue is public safety, and I'll
- 44:02Speaker 13: say this here in West Tennessee, public safety is probably
- 44:06Speaker 13: the number one issue. And the way I work to
- 44:10Speaker 13: pull together the Memphis Safe Task Force, the success of that,
- 44:14Speaker 13: the fact that.
- 44:15Speaker 12: Crime has been cut in half.
- 44:17Speaker 13: US Attorney Mike Dunnovant being here today, we've.
- 44:21Speaker 12: Seen so many successes in Memphis.
- 44:25Speaker 13: The third thing we hear about is a great education,
- 44:28Speaker 13: access to that for our kids and better outcomes when
- 44:31Speaker 13: it comes to their grades.
- 44:32Speaker 2: I want to go back to the gen Z voters,
- 44:35Speaker 2: and we saw a huge number of those folks embrace
- 44:37Speaker 2: the Republican Party in twenty twenty four. A lot of
- 44:41Speaker 2: those same kids now are really concerned about affordability issues,
- 44:45Speaker 2: and I sometimes Republicans are like, well, get a second
- 44:47Speaker 2: job if you can afford it. But these are kids
- 44:50Speaker 2: working hard and they just can't buy that starter home.
- 44:53Speaker 2: Many of them can't start their families because of the
- 44:55Speaker 2: economy right now, what do you.
- 44:57Speaker 13: Say to those young gern Yes, and making certain that
- 44:59Speaker 13: we are simplifying regulation and permitting is going to be
- 45:04Speaker 13: important for helping get the cost of housing down and
- 45:08Speaker 13: making housing more affordable. Likewise, getting those interest rates down
- 45:14Speaker 13: on those homeland home loans, and then of course, growing
- 45:19Speaker 13: wages and the types of jobs that are going to
- 45:23Speaker 13: give them some movement upward, movement in their careers so
- 45:29Speaker 13: that they have better wages and are able to afford
- 45:33Speaker 13: to buy those homes. Those are considerations, and you know
- 45:38Speaker 13: it's a local, state, and federal issue when it comes
- 45:41Speaker 13: to getting that cost of housing down.
- 45:44Speaker 2: When when you look at Memphis and you mentioned the
- 45:47Speaker 2: safety issue, the task force, so many people here are
- 45:51Speaker 2: grateful for what you've done and what the President has done.
- 45:55Speaker 2: At the same time, you know, we look at Nashville,
- 45:57Speaker 2: we see the skyscrapers going up, we see the professional
- 45:59Speaker 2: sports teams coming in. What can you do as governor
- 46:03Speaker 2: to really help bolster Memphis economy and stop the hemorrhaging
- 46:07Speaker 2: of people leaving.
- 46:08Speaker 12: Yes.
- 46:08Speaker 13: And one of the things is we worked with Memphians
- 46:13Speaker 13: and heard their concerns. The crime issue was item number
- 46:16Speaker 13: one and getting that under control and knowing that that
- 46:20Speaker 13: crime has been cut in half. The mayor and the
- 46:23Speaker 13: police chief have been great partners in this, as has
- 46:27Speaker 13: a US Attorney Donovan and US Marshall Tyrese Miller. And
- 46:34Speaker 13: that is the first step. And because that has been successful,
- 46:39Speaker 13: then companies are once again beginning to look at Memphis
- 46:43Speaker 13: and people are considering moving here instead of moving out.
- 46:49Speaker 13: And I talked to someone this morning that said, you know,
- 46:53Speaker 13: thank you for getting the crime in Memphis under control.
- 46:56Speaker 12: We're empty nesters and we were thinking.
- 46:59Speaker 13: About moving a year ago, and now we've decided to stay.
- 47:04Speaker 12: That's a good thing.
- 47:05Speaker 2: One final question. Your opponent in the general election, Jerry Green,
- 47:09Speaker 2: from here in Memphis. She is a radical leftist. She's
- 47:14Speaker 2: wanting to debate, and I know that's been a big
- 47:16Speaker 2: source of an issue among the Republicans running. Do you
- 47:19Speaker 2: see any circumstances that you would agree to a debate
- 47:23Speaker 2: with you?
- 47:23Speaker 12: You know, we're going to assess.
- 47:25Speaker 13: Our focus is on today and winning today and then
- 47:31Speaker 13: we will see how is the best way for me
- 47:34Speaker 13: to use my time to talk with Tennesseeans, to let
- 47:39Speaker 13: them know they've been heard and to continue to build
- 47:42Speaker 13: out these priorities of what they want to see done.
- 47:46Speaker 2: Fair enough, one final question. You've been able to travel
- 47:49Speaker 2: across the entire state. What's been the best part of
- 47:52Speaker 2: this experience.
- 47:53Speaker 13: Seeing people giving them a hug and a hello and
- 47:56Speaker 13: being able to listen to them. I love the fact
- 48:00Speaker 13: that people know we are a great state, we're a
- 48:03Speaker 13: great people, and what they want is to say, here
- 48:08Speaker 13: is what I want for my family.
- 48:11Speaker 12: Are a lot of young families that will talk to.
- 48:13Speaker 13: Me about what they want to achieve and what they
- 48:18Speaker 13: the type life they want to live and what's important
- 48:21Speaker 13: to them. Those are the best things because as someone
- 48:25Speaker 13: who is a policy maker in shaper and implement or.
- 48:30Speaker 12: What you want to do is listen to people.
- 48:33Speaker 13: And then hear them and take those actions that are
- 48:38Speaker 13: going to help make their dreams come true.
- 48:41Speaker 2: All right, Senator, thank you very much.
- 48:43Speaker 12: You got it, all right?
- 49:00Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody. Good to have you with us. This
- 49:03Speaker 2: is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Steven Miller last night.
- 49:09Speaker 2: Man just doing a terrific job warning on Hannity about
- 49:14Speaker 2: what's happening and the threat of communism right here in America.
- 49:19Speaker 2: Cut thirty one.
- 49:20Speaker 14: Place that Cold War has come home. It's here in America.
- 49:25Speaker 14: This is the biggest, greatest, most existential struggle this country
- 49:30Speaker 14: will ever face. Sean because if communists get control of
- 49:35Speaker 14: House seats, then set it seats and governor's mansions. The
- 49:39Speaker 14: American dream that for two hundred and fifty years our
- 49:43Speaker 14: heroes bled and died for is gone and it won't
- 49:47Speaker 14: come back because they will never let you get it back.
- 49:50Speaker 14: President Trump is the only thing right now standing between
- 49:54Speaker 14: the American people and that abyss.
- 49:57Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true. It really is true. Laura Ingram just
- 50:01Speaker 2: doing a terrific job last night talking about Abdul Lsied's
- 50:07Speaker 2: big win there in Michigan and what that means to
- 50:11Speaker 2: the rest of the country. Got number thirty four.
- 50:14Speaker 15: Johnson beyonna to think just like he does. So it's
- 50:17Speaker 15: going to take more than dearborn Muslims and ann arbor
- 50:20Speaker 15: liberals to beat Mike Rogers. They'll need middle class and
- 50:25Speaker 15: union voters too, and that may be a heavy lift.
- 50:29Speaker 15: Because Politico noted that it was Hailey Stevens, who appealed
- 50:32Speaker 15: more to working class folks, and Lsayed did better among
- 50:35Speaker 15: affluent and college educated voters. Of course, now even the
- 50:39Speaker 15: liberals at Slate are worried, describing the victory as a
- 50:43Speaker 15: whimper given expectations heading into the night. Despite public and
- 50:47Speaker 15: private polling showing double digit leads for l Saied heading
- 50:50Speaker 15: into the evening, he defeated Stevens.
- 50:52Speaker 11: By just one percentage point.
- 50:55Speaker 15: So the question here is, come November, with those Hailey
- 50:59Speaker 15: Stephens voters, is really vote for the guy who's the
- 51:02Speaker 15: socialist dreamboat of diversity? Are they really going to buy
- 51:06Speaker 15: his attempt to pivot and his silly jim rat flex
- 51:09Speaker 15: and his tight fitting black tea Elsa wins.
- 51:13Speaker 5: I will not vote democrat.
- 51:14Speaker 4: I'll switch over and I'll vote for a candidate with character,
- 51:17Speaker 4: whoever that might be.
- 51:18Speaker 16: I'm very anxious about socialist aspect, what Abdulla hitch supporters representing.
- 51:28Speaker 17: I'm a liberal, I'm not a socialist.
- 51:32Speaker 15: But most of El Sayed's most ardent supporters are socialists,
- 51:36Speaker 15: and there's no daylight between him and them. It's the
- 51:40Speaker 15: party of AOC and Hassan Piker. You know that guy
- 51:44Speaker 15: who's said America deserve nine to eleven and that he
- 51:46Speaker 15: wishes that we could be more like COMMI China. Yeah,
- 51:50Speaker 15: the guy that appeared with l Sayed on his last
- 51:53Speaker 15: campaign stop and unless, saying, Democrats nip this contagion in
- 51:59Speaker 15: the bud right now. Now work with Republicans and defeat
- 52:02Speaker 15: the DSA. They could lose their party forever.
- 52:06Speaker 5: It's not just Michigan. This is just the beginning. These
- 52:09Speaker 5: are never supposed to be swing states and they will
- 52:11Speaker 5: never be swing states ever again.
- 52:13Speaker 2: If I have something to do with it, we.
- 52:15Speaker 5: Will hopefully continue this movement all across the United States
- 52:22Speaker 5: of America. We'll go to every single state.
- 52:25Speaker 2: All right, there you go, just a smidge of what
- 52:30Speaker 2: Ingram was talking about. Can we can we please? Could
- 52:33Speaker 2: somebody please let's decide on the pronunciation. Is it said
- 52:38Speaker 2: or Syed? We've been calling him Sayed, but we I
- 52:41Speaker 2: can't go either way. It really doesn't matter to me.
- 52:43Speaker 2: He's a radical Islamic extremist either way, Abdul l said,
- 52:48Speaker 2: is the guy's name nine oh one two six zero
- 52:52Speaker 2: five nine two six are a telephone number? That's nine
- 52:54Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. I
- 52:58Speaker 2: am curious how concerned are you about the rise of
- 53:03Speaker 2: Islam and the fact that we're watching this odd fusion
- 53:08Speaker 2: right now between the Communist and the Islamist And what's
- 53:11Speaker 2: going to happen is they're going to merge together. They're
- 53:13Speaker 2: merging together these two ideologies to destroy America. I mean,
- 53:18Speaker 2: that's the end game here, and once that happens, you're
- 53:21Speaker 2: going to see the Islamist rise up and completely eradicate
- 53:26Speaker 2: the Communist. It will be it will be an end
- 53:29Speaker 2: game scenario.
- 53:30Speaker 5: You know.
- 53:30Speaker 2: One of the one of the L.
- 53:32Speaker 8: S I D.
- 53:33Speaker 2: Supporters had something to say about voters, and it is
- 53:39Speaker 2: very interesting the way they're approaching all of this. Cut
- 53:41Speaker 2: thirty three plays everything people.
- 53:44Speaker 18: Are people aren't stupid with his politics that I put
- 53:47Speaker 18: on are no translation is going to be the way forward? No,
- 53:50Speaker 18: for sure people politics, I mean your popul medicare for all.
- 53:54Speaker 18: No one has to decipher what how that means.
- 53:56Speaker 2: Then I was like, I want people to be like,
- 54:00Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's real. It's really devious, but it's true.
- 54:04Speaker 2: The outside supporter said, voters are stupid and the best
- 54:08Speaker 2: way to win is to hide the truth. So when
- 54:11Speaker 2: you say you want free healthcare for everybody, or you
- 54:14Speaker 2: want to you want to provide free grocery stores, or
- 54:17Speaker 2: free healthcare or free whatever. Yeah, because the average voter
- 54:21Speaker 2: is stupid, they don't they don't step back and think
- 54:25Speaker 2: critically about these issues. I have been stunned, stunned by
- 54:29Speaker 2: the number of people, even here in Memphis where I'm
- 54:32Speaker 2: out and about and people say, who should I vote for?
- 54:38Speaker 2: Why are you asking me that question? Go do your homework,
- 54:42Speaker 2: look it up for yourself, make those decisions for you.
- 54:47Speaker 2: And a lot of people don't even realize there is
- 54:49Speaker 2: an actual election. People are just and a lot of
- 54:52Speaker 2: times they just tune out. I mean, you guys, you live, eat,
- 54:55Speaker 2: you live, eat and breathe this, this is what you do.
- 54:59Speaker 2: You're in this twenty four seven. The reality is there
- 55:02Speaker 2: are not enough of us in this twenty four to seven.
- 55:04Speaker 2: And you've got to be especially with these communists that
- 55:08Speaker 2: are looking about like abdulah Lsieed Mike Rogers. Here's what
- 55:14Speaker 2: I think is going to happen in Michigan. I really
- 55:16Speaker 2: do believe that the Democrats in Michigan are are There's
- 55:20Speaker 2: going to be some crossover vote and you're gonna see
- 55:23Speaker 2: a lot of Democrats who are maybe liberal or moderate,
- 55:26Speaker 2: not leftists, but liberal or moderate, especially the moderates, and
- 55:30Speaker 2: they're gonna be voting for Mike Rogers the Republican. I mean,
- 55:34Speaker 2: that's how that's how bad things are, and that's why
- 55:36Speaker 2: you got James Carvill out there. Well, I'm just gonna
- 55:39Speaker 2: leave the party, not gonna vote them again, not gonna debt,
- 55:42Speaker 2: not call net. That's some James Carvel, all right. Nine
- 55:46Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six is
- 55:49Speaker 2: our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero five,
- 55:52Speaker 2: nine two six, James Carvell. What's that number? It's nine
- 55:55Speaker 2: A one these Saints zero two sins you Sorry, Mike
- 56:01Speaker 2: all right, James, calm down, calm down, We'll be right back.
- 56:24Speaker 13: Man.
- 56:24Speaker 2: The seventies, seventies and eighties best music of all the generations,
- 56:29Speaker 2: hands down. I know Angie Wong agrees with that. Our
- 56:33Speaker 2: good friend Miami Republican Committee woman, Angie, Angie, were you
- 56:36Speaker 2: like a big are you a big music person?
- 56:40Speaker 9: Certainly of the seventies and eighties? I was a Olivia
- 56:43Speaker 9: Newton John fan. I mean, I know you just played
- 56:45Speaker 9: the Beg's there, but I.
- 56:46Speaker 19: Really love that whole genre when music was actually music.
- 56:50Speaker 19: Everything I'm hearing now is like zeros and ones done digitally.
- 56:54Speaker 9: And now a lot of these artists are not even artists,
- 56:56Speaker 9: they're just pretend artists. That was created by AI.
- 56:58Speaker 19: So my ears love the sound of instruments. I wish
- 57:02Speaker 19: it would go back backwards in time with music.
- 57:04Speaker 2: Oh you, you and me both and I So I'm
- 57:07Speaker 2: a gen xer, So I grew up right in between,
- 57:10Speaker 2: you know, the seventies and eighties, so I kind of
- 57:12Speaker 2: covered you know, late seventies into the early eighties with
- 57:15Speaker 2: you know, the launch of you know, the rise of
- 57:17Speaker 2: MTV back when it was actually, you know, they actually
- 57:20Speaker 2: played music. I know the young people today gen z
- 57:22Speaker 2: ers may not know this, zngie, but we actually used
- 57:25Speaker 2: to watch MTV and watch music videos. And that's how
- 57:30Speaker 2: many of us learned to dance, was learning the dance
- 57:33Speaker 2: moves on MTV.
- 57:34Speaker 19: So Todd I used to produce those music videos for MTV.
- 57:38Speaker 19: That's how I got my career started, was making little
- 57:41Speaker 19: miniature films because I went to film school, and how
- 57:45Speaker 19: you get your start is with commercial and music videos.
- 57:47Speaker 9: So MTV I was all about that. You know, MTV
- 57:51Speaker 9: just shut down like about a year or two ago.
- 57:53Speaker 9: Did you see that?
- 57:54Speaker 19: But the final show went away. I was kind of sad,
- 57:57Speaker 19: but kind of like, wow, that took a long time.
- 58:00Speaker 19: That was a really slow death actually, But remember the
- 58:02Speaker 19: music videos, that's what sold albums. Apparently you don't need
- 58:05Speaker 19: that anymore, no.
- 58:06Speaker 2: Or just remember, you know, when I was anchoring the
- 58:09Speaker 2: news out in California, I landed in Sacramento, which was
- 58:13Speaker 2: the hometown of Tower Records. That's where it all started.
- 58:16Speaker 2: And I remember going after going after my new shift
- 58:19Speaker 2: on the radio station and going down and looking through
- 58:21Speaker 2: the records and the albums I miss. I got to
- 58:24Speaker 2: tell you that I just missed those days, and I
- 58:27Speaker 2: just I love all the digital stuff, you know, don't
- 58:29Speaker 2: get me wrong, but I liked I like to hear
- 58:31Speaker 2: the news that like vinyl is coming back now, record
- 58:34Speaker 2: stores are starting to pop back up. I miss those
- 58:37Speaker 2: kinds of things.
- 58:38Speaker 9: You might see that.
- 58:39Speaker 19: I mean, my daughter's generation and she's a preteen. They're
- 58:43Speaker 19: buying albums again. I think I think we've you know,
- 58:46Speaker 19: gone over the top with the digital stuff. Yes, but
- 58:49Speaker 19: you know, our ears they hear it again. I hear
- 58:53Speaker 19: and see the zeros and ones when I listen to music.
- 58:55Speaker 19: Sometimes it's just not the same. There's no bromance to it.
- 58:59Speaker 19: You don't get to stare at an album cover and like,
- 59:02Speaker 19: how a thousand stories about that cover?
- 59:04Speaker 9: I mean, all those days are gone now.
- 59:06Speaker 2: It's true, Dylan, turn your micro Dylan our board. Op
- 59:09Speaker 2: is Is was a music business major at the University
- 59:12Speaker 2: of Memphis and we actually had this cool place here.
- 59:14Speaker 2: We're gonna talk politics in a second, We've got to
- 59:15Speaker 2: talk about music right now. Angie Dylan, what's his place?
- 59:19Speaker 2: The Listening Room at Crosstown Concourse. You gotta tell Angie
- 59:22Speaker 2: about this.
- 59:22Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it's the music Listening Lab. You Basically, it's
- 59:25Speaker 5: like a library for music. They have the vinyl stations
- 59:29Speaker 5: and the turntables set up to where you just put
- 59:31Speaker 5: on headphones, you select, you select a vinyl and whatever
- 59:36Speaker 5: side you want, and then you can just sit there
- 59:37Speaker 5: and listen to it for hours on end.
- 59:39Speaker 9: Basically, Oh, I need that in my life.
- 59:42Speaker 19: I need that now. I wish it would have that all. Look,
- 59:45Speaker 19: we're going to go back to that stage. I think
- 59:47Speaker 19: you know, the pendulum keeps swinging both ways, right. I
- 59:51Speaker 19: just learned that my daughter is going to be taking
- 59:53Speaker 19: a class based on classic album covers in school. Yes,
- 59:58Speaker 19: I am paying for the school, and she's taking an
- 1:00:00Speaker 19: elective about album covers.
- 1:00:02Speaker 9: I'm like, what, like, what are the iconic album covers?
- 1:00:06Speaker 19: I don't I only know of the ones from the eighties,
- 1:00:08Speaker 19: maybe the seventies one, Oh yeah, myself that far back.
- 1:00:11Speaker 19: But I guess you could do an entire semester on
- 1:00:15Speaker 19: album covers. And yes, again, I'm paying for her schooling.
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: I like that school she's going to. I can just
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: imagine we're bringing all of you guys to Memphis. Henes,
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: you were going to make this happen. I can imagine you,
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: Mary Walter, Jeffrey Lord, Will, Governor Scott Walker Will all
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: be in the music lab listening to Vinyl records.
- 1:00:36Speaker 9: Bring it back.
- 1:00:36Speaker 19: That's the best campaign I've ever seen. Honestly, you bring
- 1:00:40Speaker 19: that campaign to your state, Todd, I will tell you
- 1:00:43Speaker 19: we're gonna get all the extra votes, the votes that
- 1:00:46Speaker 19: we never even thought that, there's so many youth votes.
- 1:00:49Speaker 9: I would love to see that image.
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: Speaking about what is old being new again. Communism is back.
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: And I know Stephen Miller just really did a great
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: job explaining the danger to the country on handity last night.
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: But when you look at what's happening in Michigan. You've
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: got this combo platter of radical Islam and communism declaring
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: war on our way of life, and Angie, I'm just
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: I'm wondering what we need to do as Republicans, as
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: conservatives to fight back here on this.
- 1:01:21Speaker 19: I'm really worried about this race. I know a lot
- 1:01:24Speaker 19: of people can say, Okay, let's just throw out the
- 1:01:26Speaker 19: word communism and socialism and scare everybody.
- 1:01:29Speaker 9: And maybe that's the timing. Right now is the time
- 1:01:32Speaker 9: to do.
- 1:01:32Speaker 19: This, because this race is going to be one of
- 1:01:34Speaker 19: the most expensive races we've ever seen in Senate history. Already,
- 1:01:39Speaker 19: the two candidates have spent over eighty million dollars and.
- 1:01:43Speaker 9: That's just the primary.
- 1:01:44Speaker 19: Imagine what's going to happen during the general. So scaring
- 1:01:47Speaker 19: national donors into communism, that's perfect for now.
- 1:01:51Speaker 9: But I'll tell you what doesn't work.
- 1:01:52Speaker 19: Because I've run a state wide race in Michigan for
- 1:01:55Speaker 19: the Secretary of State back a few cycles ago. This
- 1:01:58Speaker 19: state will not really be bothered by these words. These
- 1:02:03Speaker 19: are just labels being thrown at. Even with Hassan Piker
- 1:02:07Speaker 19: coming in saying, you know, America deserved nine to eleven.
- 1:02:11Speaker 9: That was actually.
- 1:02:12Speaker 19: Incredibly smart of him to say that for Michigan. I
- 1:02:15Speaker 19: know the rest of us, where we think this is
- 1:02:17Speaker 19: the most vile thing we've ever heard anyone say, the
- 1:02:20Speaker 19: truth of the matter is in Michigan, that is one
- 1:02:23Speaker 19: of the largest Muslim American.
- 1:02:25Speaker 9: Communities outside of the Middle East even.
- 1:02:27Speaker 19: And there's a lot of favorable Muslim supporters within that state.
- 1:02:32Speaker 9: You know, if my daughter went to that school, she's
- 1:02:34Speaker 9: going to have Muslim friends.
- 1:02:36Speaker 19: So that's why these messages really kind of go against
- 1:02:41Speaker 19: what Republicans want to achieve here, which is to win
- 1:02:44Speaker 19: for Mike Rogers in that state.
- 1:02:46Speaker 9: But here's the problem.
- 1:02:47Speaker 19: You have an entire generation post nine to eleven, twenty
- 1:02:50Speaker 19: five year anniversary coming up, who've been targeted by racism
- 1:02:56Speaker 19: about nine to eleven just because of the way they look.
- 1:02:58Speaker 19: And a lot of these young kids, and that's who
- 1:03:00Speaker 19: we're talking about, the young college kids in Michigan, they
- 1:03:03Speaker 19: received the really awful end of what had happened after
- 1:03:06Speaker 19: nine to eleven with Muslim Americans being targeted. So when
- 1:03:10Speaker 19: you go really pushing hard on anti Muslim which I
- 1:03:15Speaker 19: what I'm seeing a lot of in the Republican speak
- 1:03:19Speaker 19: that is going to energize voters in Michigan. So we've
- 1:03:22Speaker 19: got to be so so careful with messaging now again nationwide,
- 1:03:26Speaker 19: I see the money pouring in.
- 1:03:28Speaker 9: I see how this can work.
- 1:03:29Speaker 19: But just on Michigan alone, I don't want it to
- 1:03:32Speaker 19: backfire on Republicans come November.
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: Yeah. There, and there are some Democrats that were being interviewed,
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: and I have to imagine these are outliers. But there
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: are some Democrats who are saying, you know, they're not
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: going to be voting, or they're going to vote for
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: Mike Rogers. But again, I don't think we can take
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: anything for granted. You know, I know here in here
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: in Memphis, Tennessee, where we have an election day today,
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: and over the weekend they had Muslim Muslim voting Day
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: in Memphis. All of the mosques they got bust out.
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: They had translators to help people understand the ballots. So
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: even in a southern state that's rock solid red, we
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: have a large and growing Islamist population and we are
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: going to have to contend with that down the road.
- 1:04:16Speaker 19: Here's I'm looking at some of the numbers from yesterday's
- 1:04:20Speaker 19: primary in Michigan. This scares me a lot todd Over
- 1:04:26Speaker 19: eighty six percent of all votes coming into the Michigan
- 1:04:30Speaker 19: primary yesterday were absentee mail in ballots eighty six percent.
- 1:04:35Speaker 19: That's one point three million election day in person voting
- 1:04:39Speaker 19: eighty three thousand, So you're saying one in seven person
- 1:04:44Speaker 19: voted by mail in yesterday's Michigan race. I've never seen
- 1:04:48Speaker 19: extreme mail in voting like this in any state. And
- 1:04:52Speaker 19: I was trying to pull historical data from other states
- 1:04:55Speaker 19: as well as Michigan. We've never seen anything like this.
- 1:04:59Speaker 19: This high eighty six percent mail in ballots. That's who voted,
- 1:05:03Speaker 19: el said in yesterday, and we have to like look
- 1:05:07Speaker 19: at that because is that going to be what's going
- 1:05:10Speaker 19: to happen in November when we go into the general.
- 1:05:13Speaker 19: You're going to have these extreme mail in ballots. And remember, Michigan,
- 1:05:17Speaker 19: you have same day registration on top of that, so
- 1:05:21Speaker 19: you can register to vote that very day and you
- 1:05:23Speaker 19: and poll workers or you know, the election board won't
- 1:05:26Speaker 19: have any time to verify if this is a real
- 1:05:29Speaker 19: registration or not because you can do the same day.
- 1:05:32Speaker 19: So there's a lot of concern in Michigan. One last
- 1:05:36Speaker 19: thing going to add about Michigan is that Republicans haven't
- 1:05:38Speaker 19: won Michigan in the US Senate since the nineteen nineties, way.
- 1:05:43Speaker 9: Back before the Beg's album.
- 1:05:44Speaker 19: Right, we are talking like Vanilla ice time now, we
- 1:05:48Speaker 19: haven't won in that state. So I worry about this
- 1:05:52Speaker 19: race more than anything, more than Texas, more than Maine,
- 1:05:54Speaker 19: because for us to flip the seat, it's going to
- 1:05:58Speaker 19: take such an f And I know Trump won twice,
- 1:06:02Speaker 19: but can he pull off a third win for the
- 1:06:04Speaker 19: US nnes See.
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: It's a great question, Angie Wong joining us on the
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile newsmaker line today. Angel, I don't know if
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: you've been following burrito gate. It seems to be all
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: the rage under the Vice president weighing in on the
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: cost of burritos and whether or not they cost twenty dollars.
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: The issue is not the cost of the burrito. I
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: think that we are missing We're missing out here on
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: something as Republicans. We had so many young people voting
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four. We want to make sure those
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: kids continue to vote Republican. And they're trying to tell
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: us things are hard out there, things are not affordable
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: for them. You know, they are not being able to
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: start off their lives like their parents did. What what
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: is the answer here? Because you know, you've got the
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: you've got one side that's that's saying, you know, go
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: get a job or go get a second job, and
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: other people are sympathetic. Where do you fall on all
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: of this?
- 1:06:59Speaker 19: And this is where the Democrats socialists are winning. See
- 1:07:03Speaker 19: we call them socialists, we label them as communists, all
- 1:07:06Speaker 19: these bad things, but the reality is they're tapping into
- 1:07:09Speaker 19: that nerve that is affecting all these young voters today.
- 1:07:13Speaker 19: And some of it's self creative, but some of it
- 1:07:15Speaker 19: is very very real. I mean, we got to break
- 1:07:18Speaker 19: down the word affordability and what that actually means. A
- 1:07:21Speaker 19: lot of people in their twenties can't buy into the
- 1:07:24Speaker 19: first time home market. They can't even rent because in
- 1:07:27Speaker 19: order to rent, you've got to show a huge income,
- 1:07:29Speaker 19: you got to be able to buy renters insurance, and
- 1:07:32Speaker 19: you have to have all these checklists requirements that most
- 1:07:35Speaker 19: young people.
- 1:07:36Speaker 9: Just don't have. So they're angry.
- 1:07:38Speaker 19: They're starting off life already angry, and they're starting off
- 1:07:41Speaker 19: life with a lot of whether it's credit card debt
- 1:07:44Speaker 19: or school debt. So these are real things that I
- 1:07:48Speaker 19: think Republicans can actually take on as policies. Well, I
- 1:07:51Speaker 19: don't know why we don't. You know, we can't keep
- 1:07:53Speaker 19: going to TPUSA and saying you figured it out, you
- 1:07:56Speaker 19: give us the answer because being Christian and being you know,
- 1:08:00Speaker 19: family first and having lots of babies, that's not always
- 1:08:03Speaker 19: going to be the right messaging to young voters. So
- 1:08:06Speaker 19: we have to find better messaging for young voters if
- 1:08:10Speaker 19: we're going to bring and keep them.
- 1:08:12Speaker 9: Since twenty twenty four.
- 1:08:14Speaker 19: That's what I see, and I see that DSA is
- 1:08:17Speaker 19: winning all over the place because they're tapping into the
- 1:08:20Speaker 19: affordability on a real level that they understand, and we're
- 1:08:25Speaker 19: not doing that.
- 1:08:26Speaker 9: We're just saying believe in God, believe in family. Not
- 1:08:29Speaker 9: enough guys, not for the cities.
- 1:08:30Speaker 5: Not at all.
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: All right, Angie, we're gonna have to leave with there
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: you are now you have moved up in our rankings
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: as among the coolest of our pundits here. This is
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: how did I not know this great nugget about you,
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: dj Angie Wong. We're gonna have to you spend in
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: some tunes the next time you come back on.
- 1:08:48Speaker 9: Oh can I please nominate a song next time?
- 1:08:50Speaker 19: I would love to do that way, I'll bring my
- 1:08:53Speaker 19: albums to you.
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: So let me tell you what we do on Fridays.
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: You're gonna love this, Angie. We actually invite our listeners
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: during the week to recommend for music, and we actually
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: go into the library, the music library, and we'll play
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: that music on Friday. So we will do that. So
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: you just you just have to let Hella know what
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: what tune you want us to play.
- 1:09:10Speaker 9: You're not gonna like my music. I like boy bands
- 1:09:13Speaker 9: from the eighties.
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: No, no, no, no no.
- 1:09:17Speaker 9: I do love him. I still love them, your kids
- 1:09:20Speaker 9: on the block forever.
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: Okay, you just went down a few notes, all right,
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: Angie Wong, great hearing from you, my friend.
- 1:09:28Speaker 9: All right, thank you so much.
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: Take care. All right, we've got to take a quick
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: break here, folks. Nine oh one two six zero five
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: nine two six. Our telephone number, that's nine oh one
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six. This is the
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: Todd Starn Show.
- 1:09:52Speaker 4: All right?
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: What is going on here? Sounds like a frog is
- 1:09:57Speaker 2: having some sort of a medical condition.
- 1:10:00Speaker 5: Todd, I can't stop laughing.
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: What it was?
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: That?
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: Is that a song?
- 1:10:06Speaker 5: This is a real song?
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: Is that from Angie Walk?
- 1:10:09Speaker 5: This is not from Angie Walk. This is a real
- 1:10:12Speaker 5: song that someone made.
- 1:10:14Speaker 2: I think somebody's got the Hershey's words.
- 1:10:16Speaker 5: Going on here. Sounds like that a little bit.
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: Frog pooping all over the place.
- 1:10:21Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, what can I explain this context here?
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: Please?
- 1:10:24Speaker 5: This is a very gen z thing that happened not
- 1:10:27Speaker 5: even a year ago. People started making these videos on
- 1:10:30Speaker 5: TikTok of their like pugs walking out of like.
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: The house, oh the dogs.
- 1:10:35Speaker 5: You know how like pugs look. They look a little fat,
- 1:10:37Speaker 5: a little awkward.
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: Like the yeah, like the woke woman. Yeah, yeah, theo.
- 1:10:41Speaker 5: They just kind of wobble, kind of wobble around that
- 1:10:45Speaker 5: they like, put that video to this song, and it
- 1:10:48Speaker 5: just kind of sounds like they're just a glorping or
- 1:10:50Speaker 5: it's called the song is literally called Gloopin' Gloopin'. Yeah,
- 1:10:54Speaker 5: so glooping' gloping'. It's a real thing and it's real dumb.
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: Let's uh, let's go to North Carolina w t k
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: F al joining us. Al have you ever been glooping before?
- 1:11:10Speaker 11: Never heard of?
- 1:11:10Speaker 8: My friend? I listened to bluegrass.
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm fairly certain you have not heard of glooping?
- 1:11:18Speaker 8: Nurse?
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: What's going on out?
- 1:11:22Speaker 8: I do listen to gospel and outlaw bluegrass, but.
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: Are good for you. I like your style.
- 1:11:29Speaker 8: But yeah, I've been here in the last couple of
- 1:11:31Speaker 8: days about these twenty dollars burritas, and I want to
- 1:11:34Speaker 8: clear it up stepping for you now. I go to
- 1:11:37Speaker 8: Chipotle kind of often, but I don't buy the burritas.
- 1:11:40Speaker 8: I'll find their Their food is good, but incredibly too
- 1:11:42Speaker 8: salty for me. I ain't very healthy. I pick up
- 1:11:45Speaker 8: a couple of sides, like some guacamole or some of
- 1:11:47Speaker 8: their corn salfur or maybe a little like different kind
- 1:11:51Speaker 8: of a meat, and I take it home and I
- 1:11:52Speaker 8: make my own breta most not really good tortillas. Their
- 1:11:55Speaker 8: tortillas are above and beyond anybody's tortillas around here. Unlike it,
- 1:12:01Speaker 8: they're really good. But yeah, if you order a burrito there,
- 1:12:07Speaker 8: they're about twelve dollars, so like you said, but the
- 1:12:11Speaker 8: difference is once you're add in the extra meat, extra this,
- 1:12:15Speaker 8: extra that, then there's seventeen eighteen dollars, twenty one dollars
- 1:12:20Speaker 8: I haven't seen and they are literally the size of
- 1:12:25Speaker 8: a small football. I mean, I see these uruias going
- 1:12:28Speaker 8: out of them. It would take now back in the
- 1:12:30Speaker 8: day I used to be three hundred and eighty seven pounds,
- 1:12:33Speaker 8: I would have been in love with something like this,
- 1:12:36Speaker 8: But now these days that would literally last met three meals.
- 1:12:41Speaker 8: So if you break that twenty dollars down into three meals,
- 1:12:43Speaker 8: it's really not so bad. It's just and how much
- 1:12:46Speaker 8: of that does somebody throw away in the end? How
- 1:12:49Speaker 8: much fis over left in the refrigerator because they didn't
- 1:12:51Speaker 8: finish it all?
- 1:12:53Speaker 3: You know?
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: Al I also wonder, and again we're looking at Chipotle,
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: which is a little bit different business model because they
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: don't have many microwaves. Everything is cooked fresh that that day.
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: You have to factor in things like this mandatory minimum
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: wage that a lot of states have, and ultimately, you know,
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: these restaurants, I'm quite frankly, I'm surprised that they you
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: know that they're not twenty dollars as the starting point.
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: So still you're getting a pretty good deal for some
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: fresh food there at Chipotle.
- 1:13:23Speaker 8: No, No, it's really not bad. I mean I do.
- 1:13:25Speaker 8: I really enjoyed Chipotle. I just I just for me
- 1:13:28Speaker 8: with my the way I eat, I eat super healthy.
- 1:13:30Speaker 8: It's just I can taste the salt. Oh yeah, yeah,
- 1:13:35Speaker 8: they put too much in it, and if I make
- 1:13:37Speaker 8: the whole thing, I will literally swell up and hold
- 1:13:41Speaker 8: about eight pounds of water.
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: Well, jeezu Lou, that's crazy. How much weight did how
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: much weight to gend up losing their out?
- 1:13:48Speaker 8: At one point I had lost when I first started.
- 1:13:50Speaker 8: I went down two hundred and twelve pounds in two years.
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: Wow, you're half the man you used to be just
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: about Wow.
- 1:13:57Speaker 8: Literally yeah, alkay.
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: Aw, we're gonna have to go out because we've we're
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: up against the clock here. But it's good advice, and
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: you know that is true some of the I wonder
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: why they do that. I thought about that, and I
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: think it's to get your order more drinks, right though,
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: So the saltier the food, the more you want to drink.
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: So maybe maybe that's the reason why. I don't know. Anyway,
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: Good for you, al a good good to hear. You're
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: doing healthy and you're doing well. So yes, Burrito Gate continues.

- 1:14:34Speaker 2: about women's basketball, and it's incredibly inappropriate. We're gonna play
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: it for you. Coming up next, Gloping.

- 1:15:02Speaker 1: It's America's conservative blowtorch.
- 1:15:05Speaker 4: That's American.
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: Todd starts, well, yea.
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: All right, welcome everybody, This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show.
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: Great to have you with us wherever you may be
- 1:15:23Speaker 2: across America, and if you are in Tennessee, get off
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: your blessed assurance and get out to the polls and
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: go and vote. Election Day and voting underway. Polls close
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: at seven o'clock tonight. I want to go right away
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: to the Patriot Mobile news maker line. Sell into our
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: good buddy Steve Gill in Nashville. Steve, all right, what
- 1:15:44Speaker 2: do you say? What's gonna happen? Give us the You
- 1:15:47Speaker 2: know everything in the state, so give us your predictions.
- 1:15:52Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:15:52Speaker 4: If I've met fixes today, I knew everything. I'd be
- 1:15:55Speaker 4: picking the lottery numbers and getting a big win. I
- 1:15:58Speaker 4: think the question today really is how much time shifting
- 1:16:01Speaker 4: are we seeing with early voting. You know, in the
- 1:16:04Speaker 4: first few years that you had early voting, you had
- 1:16:07Speaker 4: still most people voting on election day, and people would
- 1:16:10Speaker 4: look at the early voting and try to articulate and
- 1:16:14Speaker 4: calculate what that was going to mean in terms of
- 1:16:16Speaker 4: the total vote numbers. It's become more difficult because more
- 1:16:20Speaker 4: and more people are voting early, which means there may
- 1:16:23Speaker 4: not be as big a turnout on election day. So
- 1:16:25Speaker 4: I don't think it's really possible to predict what the
- 1:16:28Speaker 4: total numbers will be. You know, in some parts of
- 1:16:30Speaker 4: the state, you have very contested county sheriff race, county
- 1:16:34Speaker 4: mayor races, other local races that are having their general
- 1:16:37Speaker 4: election today. While the Republican and Democrat primaries are today,
- 1:16:41Speaker 4: some of those rural counties in particular, that may be
- 1:16:44Speaker 4: driving some voter turnout that we're not necessarily seeing in
- 1:16:47Speaker 4: some of the suburban or urban areas. So I think
- 1:16:50Speaker 4: it's still a wild guess as to what the voter
- 1:16:53Speaker 4: turnout will be. And even as I kind of call
- 1:16:55Speaker 4: around the state right now, I'm getting a mixed bag
- 1:16:58Speaker 4: on turnout in various counties the state.
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: It's just super hot here. I mean, the weather is
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: fine otherwise, but it's incredibly hot. So it's just really
- 1:17:06Speaker 2: a matter of who's you know, who's going to get
- 1:17:08Speaker 2: out there and who's more motivated. And I know in
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: the western part of the state, especially in the Memphis area,
- 1:17:16Speaker 2: the Black churches have really done a remarkable job getting
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: out the vote for the Democrat candidates. They have mobilized
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: the pastors and the ministers, the Muslim community as well,
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: and all of that vote is going for the Democrats.
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: But again, how does that how does that resonate statewide?
- 1:17:34Speaker 2: Will it impact that ninth Congressional district race at all?
- 1:17:39Speaker 4: I think it could because if you have the turnout
- 1:17:41Speaker 4: that that is not turning out for the Republican area
- 1:17:46Speaker 4: and in kind of the East Shelby County area that
- 1:17:49Speaker 4: affects that ninth district, then it could have a big impact.
- 1:17:51Speaker 5: On that one, you know.
- 1:17:52Speaker 4: I think the other thing is our our primary in
- 1:17:54Speaker 4: Tennessee is relatively late. Most of the other states have
- 1:17:57Speaker 4: now completed their primary process. They have a little bit
- 1:18:00Speaker 4: longer time period for candidates who battle it out, who
- 1:18:03Speaker 4: you know, tear each other apart, to come back together.
- 1:18:06Speaker 4: Between the primary and November. Tennessee is a relatively short sprey.
- 1:18:11Speaker 4: We've only got about eighty something days. Early voting starts
- 1:18:14Speaker 4: even earlier than that again in Tennessee, so there's not
- 1:18:17Speaker 4: much of a respite between the brutal primary battles and
- 1:18:20Speaker 4: the general election battle where Republicans have to come back
- 1:18:23Speaker 4: together and get that vote turned out again. The other
- 1:18:26Speaker 4: thing is that when our primary comes, you know, this week,
- 1:18:29Speaker 4: you got a lot of people who are trying to
- 1:18:30Speaker 4: squeeze in one last vacation with the kids before school starts.
- 1:18:34Speaker 4: I've got a lot of friends who are literally dropping
- 1:18:36Speaker 4: their sons and daughters off at college this week, so
- 1:18:40Speaker 4: they're not available if they didn't vote early, they push
- 1:18:43Speaker 4: that back all of a sudden they're out of town
- 1:18:45Speaker 4: dropping off a son or daughter at college somewhere. So
- 1:18:48Speaker 4: you know, our timing is not the best in terms
- 1:18:51Speaker 4: of getting good voter turned out. And although you've had
- 1:18:54Speaker 4: some of these congressional races you mentioned the ninth, we
- 1:18:57Speaker 4: have the sixth congressional district where John Rose is bagating
- 1:19:00Speaker 4: his seat to run for governor. You have Andy Ogles
- 1:19:03Speaker 4: who is running for reelection against the former Commission of
- 1:19:06Speaker 4: Agriculture Charlie Hatcher, who's been endorsed by the former governor
- 1:19:10Speaker 4: has Them, and the current governor Lee. Those races have
- 1:19:13Speaker 4: been hotly contested, but most of the other congressional battles
- 1:19:17Speaker 4: across the state. Davidkustoff, for example, in West Tennessee aren't
- 1:19:21Speaker 4: particularly contested. You don't have a contest for Senator Bill Haggerty,
- 1:19:25Speaker 4: who's running for reelection. So again, when you look at
- 1:19:27Speaker 4: the patchwork quilt across the state, it's kind of hard
- 1:19:30Speaker 4: to predict what local races, what congressional races are going
- 1:19:34Speaker 4: to push turn out, how that might affect the governor's race.
- 1:19:37Speaker 2: Okay, I want to move on to other stories. President
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: Trump by weighing in on this WNBA controversy, and he
- 1:19:46Speaker 2: was asked his opinion about what's going on with the
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: controversy surrounding transgender players. I know Klay Travis wants to
- 1:19:54Speaker 2: launch an all transgender team called the Nashville Balls, and
- 1:20:00Speaker 2: he also wants to I think he's got what a
- 1:20:02Speaker 2: ten million dollar bet Steve Gill on whether or not
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: a boys basketball team would be able to defeat a
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: WNBA team.
- 1:20:10Speaker 4: Yeah, he's challenged the WNBA team links. I think they're
- 1:20:13Speaker 4: out of Las Vegas to a ten million dollar payoff
- 1:20:17Speaker 4: if their team can beat his selection of a state
- 1:20:21Speaker 4: boys basketball championship high school boys that he'll pick from
- 1:20:24Speaker 4: somewhere in the country. He's putting up ten million dollars.
- 1:20:27Speaker 4: You win, ladies, you get ten million to split between
- 1:20:29Speaker 4: your sales. And I don't know if he's going to
- 1:20:33Speaker 4: pay the high school boys, their coaches and the managers the.
- 1:20:36Speaker 5: Ten million if they win.
- 1:20:37Speaker 4: They out to be able to get something if they
- 1:20:38Speaker 4: if they prevail, particularly under this era of nil, it
- 1:20:42Speaker 4: is absolutely ridiculous that the WNBA is ignoring the W
- 1:20:46Speaker 4: in their name. Women's, you know, is the key, and
- 1:20:50Speaker 4: they're letting these transgender men come in. They're defending the
- 1:20:53Speaker 4: whole tran idea of men born as men competing with women.
- 1:20:58Speaker 17: Todd.
- 1:20:58Speaker 4: I played basketball at the University of Tennis See a
- 1:21:00Speaker 4: long time ago. But when I finished my time, I
- 1:21:05Speaker 4: was the men's practice coach for Coach Pat Summit for
- 1:21:08Speaker 4: the lady Balls, and we had very strict rules. They
- 1:21:11Speaker 4: weren't supposed to jump in block shots. The guys weren't
- 1:21:14Speaker 4: supposed to really jump and pull down rebounds because the
- 1:21:17Speaker 4: women's game was not elevated, and we had very tight
- 1:21:20Speaker 4: restrictions on what we were to do because we're there
- 1:21:23Speaker 4: to make the women better, not to show how good
- 1:21:26Speaker 4: we could play basketball. I will say that I was
- 1:21:28Speaker 4: fortunate to have played for the men's team at Tennessee
- 1:21:30Speaker 4: instead of for Pat Summit, because I wasn't man enough
- 1:21:33Speaker 4: to have played for coach Pat Submitt.
- 1:21:36Speaker 2: That's saying something right there, Steve Gill on our Patriot
- 1:21:39Speaker 2: Mobile Newsmaker line. Here is the President when he was
- 1:21:43Speaker 2: asked about coaching in the w NBA.
- 1:21:47Speaker 12: And I'll tell you what, if.
- 1:21:48Speaker 16: I were ever, I'd be the greatest women's basketball coach
- 1:21:52Speaker 16: at issue. Because I don't like Lebron James. I like
- 1:21:56Speaker 16: Michael Jordan much better, but I'd go up to Lebron James.
- 1:22:02Speaker 16: It doesn't matter. Say Lebron, did you ever have any
- 1:22:05Speaker 16: desire to be a woman? Because what I'd love you
- 1:22:09Speaker 16: to do is star on my team that I'm building up.
- 1:22:11Speaker 16: I will have the greatest team in history. They'll never lose.
- 1:22:14Speaker 16: Nobody who will come within seventy points.
- 1:22:17Speaker 4: Of this team.
- 1:22:19Speaker 16: Now, we have to change that, and we have to
- 1:22:21Speaker 16: make it okay to talk about it. You know, the
- 1:22:24Speaker 16: young lady I was talking about is afraid to talk
- 1:22:26Speaker 16: about it. She's shunned and she's canceled when she talks
- 1:22:29Speaker 16: about it. This is crazy.
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: I mean, the whole thing is crazy, Steve. And again,
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: these culture wars they continue to rage on, which tells
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: me that we still have a lot of work to
- 1:22:42Speaker 2: do to secure the president's agenda on those issues.
- 1:22:46Speaker 4: Well, and I think Klay Travis's team should have walk
- 1:22:50Speaker 4: up music, you know, when they walk out like you
- 1:22:51Speaker 4: do with baseball players walking up for their time at bet.
- 1:22:54Speaker 4: It ought to be Shania Twain's man.
- 1:22:56Speaker 5: I feel lack a woman.
- 1:22:58Speaker 3: I think the.
- 1:23:00Speaker 4: Mockery that has to be directed at the WNBA their
- 1:23:03Speaker 4: leadership that they can't even acknowledge that there is a
- 1:23:06Speaker 4: significant difference between men and women in playing sports. You
- 1:23:11Speaker 4: had the world champions, the World Cup winners women's team
- 1:23:16Speaker 4: a few years ago, best women in the world. They
- 1:23:19Speaker 4: got beat by a bunch of fifteen year old boys
- 1:23:21Speaker 4: in Dallas, just on a travel team who were fourteen
- 1:23:23Speaker 4: and fifteen years old.
- 1:23:25Speaker 5: Five to two.
- 1:23:26Speaker 4: It is not even a close call. And it is
- 1:23:28Speaker 4: time for reality and common sense to intersect itself. And frankly,
- 1:23:32Speaker 4: I hop with Sophie Cunningham and Caitlin Clark and the
- 1:23:35Speaker 4: other heterosexual white women who are the stars of the WNBA.
- 1:23:39Speaker 4: They're drawing the eyeballs, they're drawing the ticket sales. They
- 1:23:43Speaker 4: need to leave and go to Europe and play and
- 1:23:45Speaker 4: absolutely eviscerate the WNBA economically, which is where it was
- 1:23:50Speaker 4: before they arrived on the scene.
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: Steve Gill joining us on our Patriot mobile news maker line.
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: The publisher of Tristardaily dot com. That's TriStar Daily dot com. See,
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: there's an interesting story out of the Washington Post. They're
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: doing a deep dive on Vice President Jade Vance's chicken coop.
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: And I mean, this is a pretty lengthy piece here,
- 1:24:13Speaker 2: but they wanted to know whether or not it was
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: actually legal for the vice president to install a chicken
- 1:24:21Speaker 2: coop at the Naval Observatory, which in fact it is.
- 1:24:24Speaker 2: I think that's like seventy something acres that the observatory
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: sits on. So I think they're trying to raise the
- 1:24:30Speaker 2: issue of, oh, you know, is the rooster. I don't
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: know whe they have a rooster, but is the rooster
- 1:24:35Speaker 2: waking up people?
- 1:24:37Speaker 8: You know?
- 1:24:37Speaker 2: Is this causing some sort of a health hazard. I
- 1:24:41Speaker 2: can't even imagine what this media would have done in
- 1:24:43Speaker 2: the days of Teddy Roosevelt, where they pretty much had
- 1:24:46Speaker 2: an entire farm on the front yard of the White House.
- 1:24:50Speaker 4: Well, if it's all hens, they're not gonna be producing
- 1:24:52Speaker 4: any eggs. I mean, it's kind of back to the
- 1:24:54Speaker 4: whole transgender issue. Biology teaches us, you know, if you
- 1:24:58Speaker 4: want to get milk, don't go milk the bull. Make
- 1:25:01Speaker 4: sure you go milk the dairy cow. And those who
- 1:25:04Speaker 4: have not learned that lesson, we will find out pretty quickly
- 1:25:06Speaker 4: out of farm. Again, this is just the we're seeing
- 1:25:09Speaker 4: Trump derangement syndrome moved to JD Vance derangement syndrome, to
- 1:25:14Speaker 4: Marco Rubio derangement syndrome and Todd. As we were talking
- 1:25:18Speaker 4: the other day, you know, we said for a long
- 1:25:20Speaker 4: time that that liberals, you know, prove that liberalism is
- 1:25:23Speaker 4: a mental disorder. And when you see the candidates they're
- 1:25:26Speaker 4: putting up statewide in Maine, in Wisconsin, in Michigan and
- 1:25:31Speaker 4: now stuff like you know, attacking the chickens at the
- 1:25:34Speaker 4: Naval Observatory, it's clear that liberalism is a mental disorder
- 1:25:39Speaker 4: and they're just out to prove it to us this
- 1:25:41Speaker 4: election season.
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: See the Washington Post that apparently the family eats a
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: lot of eggs, like fourteen eggs a day. That's a
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: lot of eggs. So anyway, usha you know who just
- 1:25:52Speaker 2: had the baby, they said, well, you know, there are
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: health departments that say pregnant women should avoid handling chickens
- 1:26:00Speaker 2: because of the risk of salmonella infection. I mean, they're like,
- 1:26:04Speaker 2: they're going out of their way to try and find
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: a way to criticize the Vice president. Even one of
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: the subheadings, is it legal? Is it legal for the
- 1:26:14Speaker 2: vice president to actually raise chickens? They're at the Naval Observatory.
- 1:26:19Speaker 4: I suspect that the writers for the Washington Post are
- 1:26:22Speaker 4: among those who who think that chocolate milk comes from
- 1:26:25Speaker 4: the brown cows. I mean, these are people who probably
- 1:26:27Speaker 4: haven't you spend any time on a farm anywhere in
- 1:26:31Speaker 4: their entire life, much less their adult life. And yet
- 1:26:33Speaker 4: they're going to try to lecture the Vice President, his family,
- 1:26:36Speaker 4: and the rest of us on agriculture policy when again, yeah,
- 1:26:41Speaker 4: their closest thing to chicken production is going to Kentucky
- 1:26:45Speaker 4: Fried chicken.
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: Well, there you go. So for the record, yes, it
- 1:26:48Speaker 2: is legal to raise chickens in Washington, d C. The
- 1:26:52Speaker 2: chicken keepers must keep some requirements or meat requires for
- 1:26:56Speaker 2: the city issues a permit, but there you go. The
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: the hen house does appear to be within a compliance there,
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: so there you go all right, Steve gil it sounds
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: like you've got a long day. As the vote voting
- 1:27:10Speaker 2: continues and they'll start counting those votes, we will be
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: sure to watch out for the results at TriStar Daily
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: dot com.
- 1:27:18Speaker 4: We'll have some details, we'll have some analysis, and we
- 1:27:21Speaker 4: turn immediately to If Marshall Blackburn wins the governor's race,
- 1:27:25Speaker 4: the next big question is who's got next? Who will
- 1:27:28Speaker 4: replace her in the Senate. The governor will appoint a
- 1:27:32Speaker 4: temporary replacement to run for a two year balance of
- 1:27:35Speaker 4: her term. But in the meantime, either it's Governor Lee
- 1:27:39Speaker 4: or does she wait until moments after she gets inaugurated
- 1:27:43Speaker 4: and make the pick herself. So that's going to be
- 1:27:45Speaker 4: the next big speculation. Who's got next?
- 1:27:47Speaker 2: All right, there you go, Steve Gill, try stardaily dot com.
- 1:27:51Speaker 2: All right, our telephone number nine O one two six
- 1:27:54Speaker 2: zero five, nine two six. That's nine oh one two
- 1:27:57Speaker 2: six zero five to nine two six, going to your
- 1:27:59Speaker 2: call next. You know, I do think the President does
- 1:28:15Speaker 2: a wonderful job of showing the the sheer lunacy of
- 1:28:20Speaker 2: the w n b A and the good for you,
- 1:28:23Speaker 2: good for you, mister mister president. You know, I am wondering,
- 1:28:27Speaker 2: is this like a I think a lot of young
- 1:28:29Speaker 2: people now are doing the whole chickens Dylan, Do you
- 1:28:32Speaker 2: and the missus y'all have chickens over in the condo.
- 1:28:35Speaker 5: We live in Germantown, So I don't.
- 1:28:37Speaker 2: Probably those, No, I don't think so they have to
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: be a certain breed of chicken.
- 1:28:42Speaker 5: I guess if we could, then I maybe would because
- 1:28:45Speaker 5: I like chicken a lot.
- 1:28:47Speaker 2: The well, it's very you know, there's nothing better than
- 1:28:50Speaker 2: like a bird fresh off the farm, you know.
- 1:28:54Speaker 5: I guess, so I do like when they would like
- 1:28:56Speaker 5: a fresh egg, like when I know someone that has
- 1:28:59Speaker 5: chicken that lay the eggs.
- 1:29:00Speaker 2: Oh yeah, those are always really good. Those are delicious.
- 1:29:03Speaker 2: I am curious though, and maybe some there might be.
- 1:29:05Speaker 2: We have a lot of farmers that listen to us.
- 1:29:07Speaker 2: I am wondering. Are the you know when you go
- 1:29:09Speaker 2: to the grocery store and you get a chicken breast,
- 1:29:11Speaker 2: I mean, those are big bosom to birds. So my
- 1:29:14Speaker 2: question is are those like is that normal? Do you
- 1:29:18Speaker 2: know the because when I when I go out to
- 1:29:20Speaker 2: the farm, it seems to me if the birds were
- 1:29:23Speaker 2: really that big, big bosomed, they would just be top
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: heavy and just flop right over.
- 1:29:28Speaker 5: Yeah, they definitely put something in those chickens.
- 1:29:31Speaker 2: Do you see. I think so too well.
- 1:29:33Speaker 5: Because if you go to England, if you go overseas,
- 1:29:35Speaker 5: those are small, small, small birds, but they're like normal.
- 1:29:38Speaker 5: You're like, what that's what they actually look like. We
- 1:29:41Speaker 5: just have buff chickens.
- 1:29:43Speaker 2: It looks like they've had you know, they're giving the
- 1:29:45Speaker 2: chicken implants.
- 1:29:46Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, what's going on America, American chickens.
- 1:29:50Speaker 2: Something's not right. Something is just not right there, chick
- 1:29:53Speaker 2: chicken implants.
- 1:29:55Speaker 3: Cheese.
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: Let's go to the phone lines here nine oh one
- 1:29:58Speaker 2: two six zero five ninety two six James and Arkansas James.
- 1:30:03Speaker 2: What's on your mind?
- 1:30:05Speaker 20: Hey, Tom, thanks for taking my call. Yes, I just
- 1:30:09Speaker 20: had a little, you know, thing to say, you know,
- 1:30:11Speaker 20: bone to pick with the with one of your guests,
- 1:30:14Speaker 20: you know, because she made the comment about the poor
- 1:30:17Speaker 20: Muslims that caught some flack after nine to eleven.
- 1:30:20Speaker 8: Uh.
- 1:30:21Speaker 20: You know, I was in the military there in nine
- 1:30:23Speaker 20: to eleven, and I actually watched the towers fall and
- 1:30:26Speaker 20: I saw a lot of Muslims on TV cheering when
- 1:30:29Speaker 20: that happened. So I don't have a lot of stipsty
- 1:30:33Speaker 20: for Muslims. And these people that are going around to
- 1:30:35Speaker 20: vote for Muslims, y'all are idiots, because let me tell
- 1:30:38Speaker 20: you something, they're just using you to get in power.
- 1:30:42Speaker 20: And once they get in power, didn't watch out for
- 1:30:44Speaker 20: what happened.
- 1:30:45Speaker 2: No I heard, Yeah, I thought I heard what she
- 1:30:47Speaker 2: said there. And and maybe there were I mean, I
- 1:30:51Speaker 2: maybe there were some that were sympathetic to what happened
- 1:30:54Speaker 2: to our country on that day. But I'm with you.
- 1:30:56Speaker 2: I saw a lot of videos coming out of place
- 1:31:00Speaker 2: like New Jersey and the Middle East, where the Muslims
- 1:31:04Speaker 2: were celebrating in the streets as our fellow citizens were
- 1:31:07Speaker 2: burning to death or being being buried under those towers. Yeah,
- 1:31:12Speaker 2: I hear you all, or or actually.
- 1:31:15Speaker 20: As they showed on TV Todd, people actually jumping out
- 1:31:18Speaker 20: of windows because they had trying else to do. And
- 1:31:22Speaker 20: those see, let me tell you something. I'm not talking
- 1:31:23Speaker 20: about videos from Middle East. I'm talking about videos from
- 1:31:26Speaker 20: right here in this country. And I got I got
- 1:31:29Speaker 20: to you know, I'm not preaching hate. I'm not saying
- 1:31:31Speaker 20: you should hate anybody. But let me tell you something.
- 1:31:34Speaker 20: Those people don't want to come over here and be American.
- 1:31:37Speaker 20: They don't want to tackle bell on every corner in
- 1:31:39Speaker 20: their country, and they want to come over here and
- 1:31:42Speaker 20: be Muslim and bring their Sharia law with them. I
- 1:31:45Speaker 20: know you don't want to live under it.
- 1:31:48Speaker 2: No you don't. No, it's true, you don't. It's a
- 1:31:52Speaker 2: it's a disturbing ideology. I will say that. And James,
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: it's dangerous, and we've got to figure out a way
- 1:31:59Speaker 2: to address us before it's too late. I just really
- 1:32:02Speaker 2: shudder to think about what this country could look like
- 1:32:04Speaker 2: ten twenty years from now. I mean, it's a concern. James,
- 1:32:08Speaker 2: thank you for calling in. And this is interesting. According
- 1:32:13Speaker 2: to the Washington Post, there are political motivations. They say
- 1:32:20Speaker 2: there are political motivations behind the flock of chickens being
- 1:32:24Speaker 2: raised by the vice president. The Post says it's a
- 1:32:27Speaker 2: theory that resonates with Danny Bowers, who keeps nineteen chickens
- 1:32:32Speaker 2: on suburban property in Utah County, Utah. Bowers, who uses
- 1:32:37Speaker 2: they them pronouns. Why do they have to point that out?
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: Why is that important to the story here? Bowers, who
- 1:32:43Speaker 2: uses they then pronouns, points out that some conservatives have
- 1:32:46Speaker 2: embraced the values espoused by the trad wife influencers, many
- 1:32:51Speaker 2: of whom raise chickens. The trad wife that is, for
- 1:32:56Speaker 2: those of you and Bartholesville that would be traditional wives.
- 1:33:00Speaker 2: The traditional wives, they have traditional values. So they're saying
- 1:33:04Speaker 2: this is some sort of a are they is the
- 1:33:07Speaker 2: vice president trying to signal something to conservative women by
- 1:33:12Speaker 2: raising chickens. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
- 1:33:16Speaker 2: two six. Maybe they're just, you know, trying to save
- 1:33:19Speaker 2: money at the grocery store like the rest of us.
- 1:33:21Speaker 2: I don't know. We'll be right back, all right, Welcome
- 1:33:41Speaker 2: back to everybody. This is the Todd Sterns Radio Show.
- 1:33:43Speaker 2: Great to have you with us today. Our telephone number
- 1:33:46Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 1:33:48Speaker 2: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
- 1:33:52Speaker 2: I want to go to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line
- 1:33:54Speaker 2: and say hello to our good friend Caleb Park. He
- 1:33:57Speaker 2: is a journalist and host of The Good Report with
- 1:34:01Speaker 2: Caleb Park. Caleb, hope you're doing well today.
- 1:34:05Speaker 10: Hey, Todd, great to be with you. Thanks for having me.
- 1:34:08Speaker 2: All right, Caleb, But we've been talking about the Washington
- 1:34:10Speaker 2: Post story about the vice president. They're doing a deep
- 1:34:15Speaker 2: dive into the official vice presidential chicken coop, and they're
- 1:34:19Speaker 2: saying that a lot of this may just be political
- 1:34:22Speaker 2: because apparently a lot of folks your age are embracing
- 1:34:29Speaker 2: chickens because of the tread wife movement. I'm wondering, first
- 1:34:34Speaker 2: of all, do you agree with that? And second of all,
- 1:34:37Speaker 2: do you have a flock of chickens?
- 1:34:41Speaker 10: Yes, Todd, I am one of the many in my
- 1:34:44Speaker 10: generation millennials that is embracing this traditional lifestyle. My family
- 1:34:50Speaker 10: got a chicken coop during COVID, and I was in
- 1:34:54Speaker 10: charge of taking care.
- 1:34:55Speaker 2: Of the flock.
- 1:34:57Speaker 10: We started out with twelve and we are down to
- 1:35:01Speaker 10: one right now?
- 1:35:03Speaker 2: What happened? Did you kill him? What happened to him?
- 1:35:05Speaker 2: Did they hold on them? Did they fly the coop?
- 1:35:09Speaker 10: Yeah, there were some miracle chickens that wandered away and
- 1:35:12Speaker 10: came back. They are free range.
- 1:35:13Speaker 4: The eggs taste better that way.
- 1:35:15Speaker 10: But it's time. We're ready to do what the vice
- 1:35:20Speaker 10: president did and get some new chicks. And I think
- 1:35:22Speaker 10: that's going to be happening next spring. Well, yeah, nature
- 1:35:27Speaker 10: took its course on some of them.
- 1:35:28Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with a red blooded American man wanting
- 1:35:31Speaker 2: to hang out with more chicks. That's what I say.
- 1:35:34Speaker 10: Amen.
- 1:35:35Speaker 2: Amen to that. Caleb A big big stories that have
- 1:35:40Speaker 2: been on your radar. Of course, we've been following the
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: whole Sophie Cunningham drama. The President of the United States
- 1:35:47Speaker 2: weighing in saying that he would actually put Lebron James
- 1:35:50Speaker 2: in a wig if he were coaching a w NBA team.
- 1:35:53Speaker 2: What do you make of all of this in the
- 1:35:55Speaker 2: big culture at large.
- 1:35:58Speaker 10: Yeah, Todd, I as in older brother. I have two
- 1:36:01Speaker 10: younger sisters and growing up and watching them play sports.
- 1:36:04Speaker 10: And I played soccer and we had a girl on
- 1:36:07Speaker 10: our team because our high school didn't have a girl's
- 1:36:11Speaker 10: soccer team yet, and it was you know, there's this
- 1:36:15Speaker 10: very obvious advantage that males have that we have over women.
- 1:36:20Speaker 10: And you know, I think we can laugh about like
- 1:36:23Speaker 10: Lebronda James or you know, just how that frenchman that
- 1:36:28Speaker 10: is playing against the females in France and he's six',
- 1:36:32Speaker 10: three got these huge, Muscles but at the end of the,
- 1:36:35Speaker 10: day we really really do need to protect women and
- 1:36:39Speaker 10: protect little, girls AND i Think Sophie cunningham is doing
- 1:36:42Speaker 10: a great example of.
- 1:36:43Speaker 5: THAT i applaud.
- 1:36:44Speaker 10: Her i'm a big. FAN i haven't watched any actual.
- 1:36:49Speaker 10: Games But i'm following her on social media And i'm supporting.
- 1:36:53Speaker 2: Her the other big story we've been following Is Zach.
- 1:36:57Speaker 2: Brown SO i understand this is a great. Story Zach.
- 1:37:00Speaker 2: Round he's giving away a, cruise is that?
- 1:37:03Speaker 3: Right?
- 1:37:04Speaker 10: Yeah so It's margaritaville at The sea and he surprised
- 1:37:10Speaker 10: thousands of. Fans it was a sold out venue At
- 1:37:14Speaker 10: Fenway park In, boston their fifteenth consecutive sold out. Concert
- 1:37:19Speaker 10: AND i don't think anybody saw this, coming you. Know
- 1:37:23Speaker 10: they it was valued at forty million, dollars SO i
- 1:37:27Speaker 10: think every fan there was pretty. Excited and it's not
- 1:37:30Speaker 10: just a one, ticket it's two tickets for each person
- 1:37:33Speaker 10: that was there at the, Concerts so that's a huge.
- 1:37:35Speaker 2: Deal that's. Massive so and they're getting a free.
- 1:37:38Speaker 10: Cruise, yeah that's. RIGHT i went on my first. Cruise
- 1:37:42Speaker 10: i'm here In South florida AND i went on my
- 1:37:45Speaker 10: first cruise last. Year it was so much, fun all
- 1:37:49Speaker 10: you can eat. Buffets, obviously this is going to Be,
- 1:37:53Speaker 10: Margaritaville so they're gonna have a lot of good drinks
- 1:37:56Speaker 10: and music and just a very relaxing, TIME i, think
- 1:38:00Speaker 10: And Zach Bround band will be performing on that boat as,
- 1:38:03Speaker 10: Well SO i, think, yeah it should be a lot of.
- 1:38:06Speaker 2: FUN i just don't. Know, well, yeah, SEE i just
- 1:38:10Speaker 2: don't know about all This. Park you, Know i've seen the,
- 1:38:13Speaker 2: videos you, know the people they run out of chicken
- 1:38:15Speaker 2: tenders in the buffet and the next thing you, know
- 1:38:18Speaker 2: it's like it's it's onl Like Donkey. KONG i, mean
- 1:38:21Speaker 2: all sorts of fighting and crazy stuff going.
- 1:38:24Speaker 10: DOWN i think that depends on which cruise line you're
- 1:38:28Speaker 10: you're on, There, Todd BUT i know the videos you're talking,
- 1:38:32Speaker 10: about and that would concern me. TOO i think YOU'LL
- 1:38:36Speaker 10: i think they'll be safe on this, one all.
- 1:38:38Speaker 2: RIGHT i just want to make sure that you know
- 1:38:40Speaker 2: you're not sitting pool side the next thing you, know
- 1:38:42Speaker 2: you're surrounded by all these you, know four pound women
- 1:38:45Speaker 2: digging thongs out of their butt docks looking like a
- 1:38:48Speaker 2: bunch of beached seals over there In San.
- 1:38:50Speaker 10: Francisco, oh that that certainly might be the. Case but
- 1:38:55Speaker 10: if it's, free you, know what do they have to?
- 1:38:57Speaker 4: Lose?
- 1:38:58Speaker 3: Oh?
- 1:38:58Speaker 2: Fair you know you can argue with, free right it?
- 1:39:01Speaker 2: Is you, know you get a little, salavan but it
- 1:39:05Speaker 2: was a free. Cruise there you. Go Caleb park host
- 1:39:09Speaker 2: Of The Good report With Caleb park and the Website

- 1:39:23Speaker 5: Anthem?
- 1:39:24Speaker 2: MARTHA i don't want to subject you know? What do
- 1:39:26Speaker 2: we have to subject our listeners to?
- 1:39:27Speaker 4: It?
- 1:39:27Speaker 2: AGAIN i, Don't, YEAH i guess we have.
- 1:39:30Speaker 4: To.
- 1:39:30Speaker 2: Uh this is the national anthem that was played at
- 1:39:33Speaker 2: the very first Women's Pro Baseball league. Game Martha, reeves
- 1:39:38Speaker 2: world famous musician from years. Ago here's what it sounded.
- 1:39:43Speaker 12: Like oh.
- 1:39:46Speaker 2: You, okay that's. Enough, Wow, uh it's it's, Bad it's really.
- 1:39:54Speaker 10: Bad but, yeah if you, know the first TIME i heard,
- 1:39:59Speaker 10: THAT i was, like are we being? Punked? Like Is
- 1:40:01Speaker 10: Ashton kutcher gonna run? Out and and Then todd you
- 1:40:06Speaker 10: saw THAT tmz report right the video that they released
- 1:40:09Speaker 10: that they actually rehearsed, this and she told the backup,
- 1:40:14Speaker 10: Singer she's, LIKE i don't need you, KNOW i don't
- 1:40:15Speaker 10: need these backup. Singers SO i think she might have
- 1:40:20Speaker 10: taken the title From Roseanne bar.
- 1:40:24Speaker 5: Years.
- 1:40:24Speaker 10: Ago but the thing With Rosean bar was you knew
- 1:40:27Speaker 10: she was a. Comedian With Martha, reeves you know she's
- 1:40:29Speaker 10: this you Know she's got this storied, career SO i
- 1:40:34Speaker 10: don't think anybody expected. That but we are talking about
- 1:40:38Speaker 10: the Professional baseball women's league, now so no press is
- 1:40:43Speaker 10: bad press for, THEM i, think.
- 1:40:45Speaker 2: Yeah for all the wrong, reasons all the wrong reasons this.
- 1:40:50Speaker 2: Story And i'm curious to hear from all of our
- 1:40:52Speaker 2: Great North carolina. Listeners the headline From Fox news Miss North,
- 1:40:56Speaker 2: CAROLINA usa loses crown organizer condemns, racism, homophobia and. Transphobia
- 1:41:05Speaker 2: so her this is this is not. Good but apparently
- 1:41:12Speaker 2: The Brittany Bolton house was stripped of her. Title they
- 1:41:17Speaker 2: took her crown away for some things that she, wrote
- 1:41:20Speaker 2: what many years? AGO i think this goes all the
- 1:41:22Speaker 2: way back to twenty seventeen and she, is, oh what
- 1:41:28Speaker 2: is the nationality Of she is A Honduran mexican model
- 1:41:35Speaker 2: and who she also encouraged president people to vote For President.
- 1:41:39Speaker 2: Trump but apparently nearly a decade, ago she used THE
- 1:41:43Speaker 2: n word on social. Media, CALEB i, LOOK i don't
- 1:41:47Speaker 2: know how many TIMES i have to tell the young
- 1:41:49Speaker 2: people Of america you got to be careful what you
- 1:41:52Speaker 2: put on social media because it will come back to haunt.
- 1:41:55Speaker 10: You, yeah you're, Right. Todd you, know it's it is
- 1:41:59Speaker 10: really sad because it's like we're growing up with a.
- 1:42:02Speaker 10: Generation you, know my generation we started on social. Media
- 1:42:06Speaker 10: now this generation as, infants they're on social, media you,
- 1:42:10Speaker 10: know as, kids and so people do have to be
- 1:42:12Speaker 10: really really careful outside of the mental health tools that it,
- 1:42:16Speaker 10: takes but that could jeopardize, titles positions that you. Get
- 1:42:21Speaker 10: and if you're not your own, boss you're at the
- 1:42:23Speaker 10: jeopardy of somebody. Else and SO i, think you, know
- 1:42:26Speaker 10: this is a perfect example of. That and even though
- 1:42:28Speaker 10: she was, apologetic they still stripped the title away from
- 1:42:31Speaker 10: her in The crown from Her pretty.
- 1:42:33Speaker 2: Sad, yeah well it. Is and AGAIN i think the
- 1:42:37Speaker 2: interesting part of this is she is actually a. Minority
- 1:42:40Speaker 2: so there you.
- 1:42:40Speaker 10: Go, so, yeah is she qualified to say the?
- 1:42:46Speaker 17: Word is?
- 1:42:46Speaker 4: That?
- 1:42:47Speaker 2: No, no, no only only ramp artist or black people
- 1:42:51Speaker 2: can use that.
- 1:42:51Speaker 10: Word so so much for free speech on that, one
- 1:42:55Speaker 10: that's for.
