  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: America's favorite, gun toting, bible clinging, deplorable America.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: That's us. That's that.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: This American.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Ud starts. Well there, all.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: Right, so you guys, you guys did it again. Hello everybody,
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: welcome into the ton Starts Radio program. Great to have
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: you with us. We really do have the best I'm
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: not sure what happened to the music. They're my apologies
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: not Look, we really do have the best audience in
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: all of talk radio. I mean it really is. You
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: guys are just a tremendous audience. And uh you whenever
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: there is an issue or something of that nature, you
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: always jump into action. And that's where I want to
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: start off today. Yesterday we told you about a situation
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: in of all places, Tennessee, not too terribly far from
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: where we broadcast our national radio program involving a veteran's home,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: a State veterans home, and we got some intel that
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: this State Veterans home they were having some big problems.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Over one hundred I think around one hundred and forty
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: elderly veterans live at this home and the air conditioning
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: had gone out. We're in the middle of a pretty
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: nasty heat wave here. It's hotter than blue blazes, and
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: the air conditioning had been out. Now, the state told
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: us that the air had only been out for about
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: twenty four hours. That was about it. But we're getting
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: we and we got intel from family members and even
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: some staff members that the situation was a lot worse.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, the air conditioning had been
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: out since Sunday and nobody was doing anything about it.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: It was not a priority to make sure these men
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: and women who wore the uniform of our nation were
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: able to spend their final days in peace and comfort,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: and instead, many of them were literally sweltering in their beds.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: We got reports that it was it was so bad.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: It was so bad that they were having to change
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: the sheets and the bedding because of the water of
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: just the sweat and the humidity. So anyway, as soon
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: as we found out about it, I immediately reached out
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: to Congressman David Kustov, who represents that particular area in Congress,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: and I said, Congressman, here's the intel we're getting, can
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: you help these people out? And really, within ten minutes,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: the Congressman had activated his rolodex. He was reaching out
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: to state lawmakers, emergency management officials, the county mayor, or
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, he was reaching out to everybody and got
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: a got a text message back from the congressman saying,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: we are on top of this and we're going to
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: take care of this. And then a couple of hours later,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: got a message saying that the air conditioning had been
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: repaired and that AC had been restored. Now, we do
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: a lot on this program. We take we take lawmakers
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: to task all the time on this radio program, and
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: all of it is well deserved. We don't we don't
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: target anybody who doesn't deserve to be targeted. And we
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: only want these lawmakers that are We want them to
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: do what they promised they were going to do when
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: they were out on the campaign trail. Now, I want
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: to tell you about Congressman David costav for a minute.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: A man who I consider to be a friend and
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: also he hampens to be my congressman. He represents the
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: district that I live in, and you see him on
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: TV every now and again. He's not a he's not
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: an Andy Ogles guy. He's not a Jim Jordan kind
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: of a guy. He's just you know, he's not bombastic.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: He's a workhorse. And this guy is back in the
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: district every single weekend. And it is a massive, I
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: think it's sixteen counties massive district. And he's out there
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: and he's going to the festivals, holding the town halls,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: helping to welcome new businesses, and when necessary, make sure
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: that our veterans have working air conditioning. So I think
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: it again, it says a lot about this guy, Congressman
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: David Costov that he would stop whatever he was doing
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: and immediately take care of his constituents. I respect that
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: there are a lot of people up on Capitol Hull.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: You call their office, guess what you're going to get
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: a voicemail. You're not even going to talk to a
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: human being. So a congressman, thank you so very much
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: for living up to your campaign promises and being out there.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: And he's one of the good guys, and he's he's
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: one of the guys that just works. I'll tell you
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: another guy, Congressman Ron Estes out of Kansas, represents the
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Wichita area. Same sort of of a mindset. You're just
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: a hard working person. You're going to you went to
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Congress to take care of your people back in your
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: home state, your home district, and I just have great
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: respect for that. So anyway, you know, people were throwing
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: accolades our way. No, we just we just made calls
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: and we broadcast. But all that to say, and here's
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: where you guys come into this. You guys picked up
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: the phones, and I mean, you help make a difference
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: letting people know what was going on. So I just
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: can't thank you enough. And we certainly are appreciative of
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: the work of the local lawmakers as well our good
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: buddy from Jackson, Tennessee, Frankie Lax, who alerted us to
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: all of this. And we're just happy to do our part,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: which is, you know, telling you guys about it. And
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: then you guys, you know you took on the chart
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: ar So all that to say, well done, welcome to
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: the program. We've got a jam pack show for you today,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen. Of course, following these developments over over
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: in Iran, Carl Higbee at Newsmax really cut to the
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: chase and said, what I think many people are wondering,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: why don't we just go ahead and nuke Iran? I mean,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: what are we waiting on here. Well's I don't think
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: we're going to dowke Iran. I don't know, but apparently
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: things are starting to ramp up a little bit now.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: China says they're going to be providing Iran with weapons
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: to again target American interest and our allies in the region.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: It's a mess over there, it really is. I don't
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: see this ending anytime soon, and for better for worse,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: that's just the reality of it. And I think you
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: guys deserve at least one talk radio program that's just
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: going to shoot straight with you. And I wish that
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: we had And again, I think that we have been
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: at war with it ron since nineteen seventy nine, and
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: I think we should have handled the problem in nineteen
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: seventy nine. We didn't do that, and every single president
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: from Ronald Reagan on just kicked that can down the road.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: And Trump got to a point where he said, he said,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: we can't kick it down the road anymore. There's no
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: more road left, and we can't allow the Iranians to
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: get news and using that mindset, Okay, I get it.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you're telling me and the president has
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: better access to know to the data than I do
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: the intel, right, I mean, he's not going to steer
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: us down a bad path here. So whatever they gave,
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: whatever they gave Trump, it was bad enough for him
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: to say, Yeah, we we're going to have to go
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: in and we've got to stop this.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: I just want to say something right out of the
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: gate here, I don't want to see a nuclear cloud
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: over an American city. I really don't even New York City.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I don't want to. I don't want our country to
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: have to endure something like that. And I don't think
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: you do either. So whatever data was given to Trump,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: it was it was so concerning that the President said
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: we're going to have to go in. And I know
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: that was it was a difficult decision to make for
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: this president because he is not a war hawk. So
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: the President made the decision. There's a report out there
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: that there's a lot of back and forth, and there's
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: just a lot of there is. There's not a lot
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: of agreement right now in the administration on what to
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: do now. There is a lot of internal strife. There
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: had been reporting out there. The White House has denied this,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: but and the headline from media eyed and I'll just
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: share this with you Trump exasperated as his top officials
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: at odds over Iran war strategy, according to according to
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: NBC News, and that's what the media it's basing their
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: reporting on. President Trump is increasingly exasperated as the war
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: stretches into its six month Remember it was supposed to
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: be over what maximum six weeks? Six months now. NBC
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: News reporting exclusively that the President recently erupted at top
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: national security officials amid deep divisions inside his administration over
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: how to proceed. The report, citing a US official and
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: people familiar with the discussions, paint a picture of a
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: divided White House, as one US official put it, after
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: all this time, there is no unity. NBC News reports
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: that Trump exploded during a meeting with top now national
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: security officials last week over a lack of progress in Iran,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: yelling explicatives. The report says administration officials remain divided over
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: whether the priority should be stopping Iran's nuclear program, protecting
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, or degrading Tehran's missile
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: and drone arsenal. Now I want to stop right there
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: for a moment. Very rarely do I believe the authenticity
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: of these reports coming out of the mainstream media, and
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: especially when they're using unnamed sources. However, I'm willing to
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: give this story a little bit of credence, not a
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: whole lot, but a little bit. And here's the reason
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: why that makes sense, because it tells me that the
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: president's own team is not on board with whatever the
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: plan is. And that's why we've seen it's almost like
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: we're hitting the gas and then slamming on the brakes. Right,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: we bomb Iran, boom, ceasefire, Boom, we hit the gas,
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: ceasefire again, Boom, ceasefire, boom, ceasefire. Then we have this
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: memorandum of understanding that JD. Vans came up with the
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Vice president, and I'm not quite sure the Iranians understand
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: the memo of understanding. There's another part of this that
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: caught my attention, and it was it was the line
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: about what is the priority? Well, my understanding was, and
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: folks correct me if I'm wrong here. My understanding was
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: the original. The only the only reason we were going
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: in was to stop Iran's nuclear program. That was it, right.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Regime change was not on the table. The protecting the
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: shipping through the state of Hormuz was not on the table,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: and the degrading of the missile and dronar so that
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: was not on the table. It was always all about
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: the nuclear program. But going back to April the eighth,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: the Pentagon told us they had not just degraded, but
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: they had destroyed Iran's missile and drone arsenal, which we
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: now know was either it was either not accurate at
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: the time or it was accurate. But because all the ceasefires,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: they were able to rebuild or at least restock whatever
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: missiles and drones they needed, which would imply that either
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Russia or China would be helping Iran here. And that
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: makes more sense when you realize that Iran has been
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: very very precise in their targeting of military troops and
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: bases in the Middle East. That would infer that, and
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: we have to infer that China or Russia is leaking
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: that information or giving that information to the Iranians. But again,
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: what is the whole point of this. I don't think
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: anybody knows. I don't and that's why I want I
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: think there is some credibility to this report. The same
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: official war in the administration has had a series of
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: tactical victories, but is facing a strategic defeat without any
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: clear policy guidance or a decision about where this is going.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question here, where do you
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: think all of this is going? I mean, you're looking
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: at what we're doing over there, We're bombing a lot
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: of stuff, We're blowing up a lot of stuff. But
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: what do you think the you know, and I'm genuinely
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: asking you, what do you think this is really all about?
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Where is all of this going? Another person close to
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Trump telling NBC News the President has become increasingly discouraged
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: by Iran's refusal to strike a deal. The president is exasperated.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: One ally said, I don't think he believed it was
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: going to be this difficult to get the Iranians to
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: agree to a deal. There was not a real strategy
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: for how long or what they should do to get
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: to that point. He did not intend this to be
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: a long drawn out war. The White House Press Secretary
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Caroline Lovitt came out and said this is all false.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: The President has a great team whom he trust, and
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: everyone on the team knows he's the final decision maker.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: She said, He's not going to stand by as they
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: break the MoU, kill our soldiers. Let me stop there.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: The fact that you're saying this proves we have no
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: m ou. And I'm not sure you can negotiate with
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: the Iranians. They want to They want to wipe Israel
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: off the face of the earth, and they want to
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: wipe us off the face of the earth. They still
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: believe that. So how can you How can you negotiate
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: in good faith with people who want to destroy you?
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: How do you do that? And I think that's again
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: one of the challenges the White House is facing here.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: And it's very possible that the Iranians they don't want
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: to look. And you wonder if if Trump or his
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: team came to them and said, hey, look, if you
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: guys in your nuclear program and you do all these things,
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: we're going to turn Tehran into a destination like Dubai.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: The reality is the people who controlled Tehran and they
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: don't want Dubai. They don't want they don't want Tehran
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: to become the Paris of the Middle East. Again, No,
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: they want death to America. They want death to Israel.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: That's what those people want, and you can't negotiate with
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: those people. So back to Carl Higbee's point, why don't
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: we just cut to the chase of Nukam. It's a
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: fair thought. But even then, what happens, what happens at
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: that point. So this is going to go on for
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: a while. I'm afraid, and I hope it does not
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: impact the midterm elections. I support the president, but the
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: president's team, they've got to get on board here. And
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: we knew going into all of this that there were
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: divisions within the team. You had those who wanted to
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: do diplomacy and you had others who wanted to blow
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Iran back to the stone age nine oh one two
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six. That is our telephone over.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine to six.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: This is the Todd Stern Show.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: Every generation must decide whether it will recognize deceit before
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: it becomes normal. This weekend, Salem News Channels America two
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: fifty film series presents The Fall of Deceit, a sobering
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: documentary on government overreach, faith under pressure, and the cost
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: of abandoning truth, launched Saturday and Sunday at seven pm
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: Eastern on Salem News Channel.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: All Right, welcome back to everybody. This is the Todd
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Stearns radio show and the military. There have been some
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: reporting that the military was having some shortages, some issues
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: with supplies. They're in the Middle East. This is the
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: headline from the New York Post. The US military must
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: race to rebuild its supply of munitions, mainly because we
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: gave most of them away to the Iranians for crying
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: out rather the Ukrainians for crying out loud. So anyway,
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: that is a big problem. Now you've got the war
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: in Ukraine, the war in the Middle East, and the
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: quantity of munitions has now become an issue that the
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Pentagon is addressing. This, by the way, from the New
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: York Post an op ed written by Bradley Bowman and Montgomery. So,
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: by the way, one of them is a one of
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: them is a retired rear admiral, both senior directors at
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: the Foundation for Defensive Democracies, and they lead up the
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: air and Missile defense program. So that in and of
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: itself could also be a challenge for the nation, for
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: the United States if we are running short of supplies.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: And clearly a lot of people thought this war really
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: was going to last, you know, four to five weeks
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: and that's just not the case. What do you recommend
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: to president? Do ladies and gentlemen, do we just do
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: a shock and awe drop a new can be done
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: with it? Or do we negotiate or do we just
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: keep the back and forth going for you know, an
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: eternity nine oh one two six zero five nine two
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: six our number. This is the Todd Sterns.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Show, all right.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: So a woman goes into a dentist office and she's
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: dragging her kids along. I guess the kids had a
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: dentist appointment or something. Cavities, braces, I don't know, that's irrelevant.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: So anyway, she's sitting down and she sees in this
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: and I'm presuming here the dentist is a Christian because
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: he has copies of the Bible in the waiting room.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: And I want you to well before we get to that, Parker.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't know if you've been to the dentist,
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: but it's an unnerving thing.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: For me.
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: It's not the easiest thing in the world.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I would rather have open art surgery again than have
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: somebody you know, pull or yanking or doing something, you know,
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: inside my mouth.
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: Now, I don't know if I would go that far.
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: But I when I go, I have to have the
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: like the like gas that makes you a little loopy
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: to where it's just like you kind of don't think
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: about it.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: The drugs, Yeah, gotta get out. You gotta have the drugs. Absolutely,
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: so I would I would actually find I would be
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: comforted knowing that there was, you know, God's word very
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: close by in the dentist office. Okay, that's what you see.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: That's what I was thinking. So anyway, this woman and
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: I have we've got the video on Todd Sterns dot com.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: You have to watch the video. But she's a little
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: what's the word I'm looking for, mannish in her hairstyle.
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: I would agree with that.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Is that appropriate? Is Helen? You know Helen? You know
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: she's a she's a woman. She so she probably could
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: give us better guidance. The hairstyle is more of a
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: manly hairstyle.
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: Definitely, is right.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: That's what That's what I was thinking. So she's got
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: this clearly bleached blonde hair, and she's got this little
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: what is it a faux hawk? Really, I mean it's
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: not like a big mohawk or she's just basically what
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: little hair is there she's sort of shaped it into
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: a point.
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: It's really unique.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: It's unusual. So but and Helen again, it's this is
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: not a typical lady like haircut. I don't want to
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: say the woman's manny manly, but you know she's manish Todd.
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: I don't know if I've ever told you this, but
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: in middle school I had half my head shaped.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: So I'm not the best person to ask. Okay, take
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: away the microphone. To take away the microphone, jess A Loo.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: So anyway, this woman is ranting and raving. So she
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: had just left the dentist office and she's enraged because
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: there are bibles in the dentist office. Take a listen.
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: So I just went to take my kids to a
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: new dentist and I walk in and see Bibles on
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: the tables everywhere. And I go to the reception counter
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: and say, hey, what's what all the Bibles everywhere? And
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: they said, oh, they're just there, Da da da, And
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: I said, I need to cancel my appointment. I'm not
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: playing games anymore. This is not a Christian nation. You
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: don't need to have Bibles out everywhere in your office,
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: or you can, and I won't patronize it. So don't
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: tell me that queer people are trying to shove their
• 22:19
  Speaker 7: agenda down people's throats when everywhere I go there's Bibles around,
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: there's people let me pray for you.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Don't give me that. I'm done?
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Oh my wow, talk about a potty mouth. She does
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: need the dentist and a bar of soap man by this,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: So I think, maybe is she saying that she's queer?
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Is that the whole point because that sort of came
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: out of nowhere? But maybe I guess it makes sense.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: I guess it's all very odd. So let me make
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: sure I understand this correctly. Parker. She's willing for the
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: teeth of her children to rot out of their mouths
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: because she got triggered by the Bible.
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: Correct.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Okay, I just want to make sure we're following the
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine the poor kids, you know, they're what
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: in tenth eleventh grade, they got no teeth and they're
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: asking the classmates. They're like, wow, you're you know, you're
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: only fifteen or sixteen. Why is it that you don't
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: have any teeth? I mean they have to talk to
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: that gather they got no teeth, and you're like, I'm sorry, what.
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: They might need dentists in the high school.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: It's bad when you get like effordent for Christmas. That's
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: not good me. No, I think it's pretty funny. But
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: you would have to listen very so I feel bad
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: for the kids because they are going to suffer. They're
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: gonna have bad teeth because mommy gets triggered by the Bible.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: And we don't know if she's a mommy mommy or
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: if she I don't purchase the kids, you know, a
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: down payment. We don't know. But she's got kids, and
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: she may or may not be queer. But again, what
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: does this have to do with anything. I had to
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: break it to the lady. But the reality is this,
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: in America, it is a free country. Now, I personally
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: believe America is a Christian nation, so I would disagree
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: with the lady there. But the fact of the matter
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: is that that dentist has a private practice. He owns
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: the building, he owns the business, and if he wanted
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: to put copies of Playboy magazine out in the front lobby,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: he would be well within his rights to do that,
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: protected rights under the United States Constitution. And I'm just
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: telling you, I don't I don't know what's worse, to
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: be honest with you, is that Is it getting a
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: root canal or is it having to sit next to
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: some sort of a liberal queer chick with a fauxhawk
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: in the dentist office. I mean, at least with the
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: with the root canal, they're giving you drugs. So there
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: you go, all right, nine oh one two six zero
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: five nine two six or telephone number that's nine h
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: one two six zero five, nine to six. So Mayor
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Zoroun Mamdammi is making headlines again. Uh, the mayor announcing
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: that he's opening up these city run grocery stores paid
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: for with your tax dollars, and every every item is
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: going to be about thirty percent less than what you
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: would purchase at say Kroger or a super Low or
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: you know, I don't know, Piggly Wiggley. Do they still
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: have win Dixies I don't know, or a wind Dixie
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: if they've got them, we'll throw publics into anyway. It
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter thirty percent. So, uh, the city is always
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: going to undercut the privately owned grocery stores. In New
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: York City. You've got Joanne Ariola, who is a new
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: York City councilwoman, and she was on Fox Business the
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: other day explaining why this is such a bad, bad idea.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Take a listen, just to.
• 25:53
  Speaker 8: Show that seventy million dollars for five stores in one
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: in each borough, you could buy one million costco memberships
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: for less, and it just shows you how ineffective and
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: how much of an overspend it is for five grocery
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: stores that we know are going to fail. In Kansas City, Missouri,
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: back in twenty eighteen, they opened up a store just
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: like La Marquette, and it closed because it couldn't keep
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: its shelf stocked. There was mass shoplifting, the produce was sour,
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: it was not of good quality, and it closed down
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: after the I think the end result was they invested
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: in twenty nine million. Why are we following a failed model?
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: Because this is a political showcase for Mayor Mom Donnie
• 26:39
  Speaker 8: to really feed his base.
• 26:42
  Speaker 9: We've been talking all morning about why we don't have
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: Walmarts in New York City because they're not allowed to
• 26:47
  Speaker 9: operate here. But if they were, MANDOMI could have no
• 26:50
  Speaker 9: cost of tax, pay low priced groceries in our city
• 26:55
  Speaker 9: instead of spending seventy million on subsidized grocery stores. That's
• 26:58
  Speaker 9: not going to work.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: Why do we rollout here exactly?
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: And why aren't we maybe extending food benefits that were
• 27:05
  Speaker 8: already in place, or giving money to our community based
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: organizations that run food pantries. They would certainly love the
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: extra money, and they're already doing the job. Five stores,
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: one in each borrow is not going to stop the
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: affordability crisis nor the food and security crisis. But what
• 27:22
  Speaker 8: it will do is take whatever savings they're getting at
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: the cashier. That's going to just fall onto the middle
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: class taxpayer.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and not only that, And we had a Liz
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Peak on yesterday talking about this as well, and she
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: brought up a great point. I didn't even think about this,
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: but back, if you live in New York City, you're
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: doing a lot of your grocery shopping actually at these bodegas,
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: which are basically the local neighborhood stores, much like if
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: you maybe if you're in Jersey a wah wah or
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: a seven to eleven or something like that. So they
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: had these, and they're all family owned bodegas, and everybody's
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: barely barely keep their heads above water because it's so
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: expensive to run a business in New York City. Those
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: people are going to be especially impacted by all of this.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: But the Broner story, and you have to look at
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: what happened over the weekend in Chicago. We have the
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: story at Todd Strange dot com and I would urge
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: you to go to our website and read the story
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: about what happened in Chicago where you had seven seven
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: subsidized and these are subsidized with your tax dollars subsidized
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: grocery stores that shut down in Chicago, And a lot
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: of people are saying, hey, look, this is this is
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: going to happen in New York City. Kansas City had
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: the same problem. They only had one grocery store. They
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: could never keep the thing stocked and it's a mess.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: So what's going to happen. Well, the problem now is
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: you've got food deserts in seven neighborhoods in Chicago as
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: a result of all of this. And you know, another
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: part of it, and this is really on the businesses
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: as well, is that they're not telling you the real reason,
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: one of the real reasons why they're having to shut
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: down these businesses, and it has to do with crime.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: These predominantly Democrat neighborhoods. Crime is off the charts, shoplifting
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: is off the charts, and a lot of these stores
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: are suffering and are having to shut down because they
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: just can't afford to stay open. Socialism does not work,
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: and it has been proven over and over and over again.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: And the folks in New York City, you guys, are
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: going to discover the exact same problem as Ma'm DOMMI
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: takes your tax money and buys up these grocery stores.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: All right, nine oh one two six zero five, nine
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: two six. That is our telephone number. That's nine oh
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: one two six zero five, nine to six. You know,
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: I've got to tell you this segment of the program

• 30:07
  Speaker 3: face look this good. You know, I could be doing
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: other things during that time. So it's been a lot

• 31:21
  Speaker 3: bizarre what they're you know, what they're up to over
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: there by the way. Coming up a little bit later,
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: we're going We're talking to Kyle Campbell about this California lifeguard.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: Have you heard this story? Been following this story. A
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: sixteen year old lifeguard and rescued a ten year old
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: on Saturday. This is over in California and the lifeguard
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: is now speaking out. Just a good kid. Writer Williams
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: is his name, and he made the rescue on Santa
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Cruz Beach on Saturday. And now he's sort of me
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: coming out like a national celebrity. So the California State
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: Parks put out a statement on the young man's behalf.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: He says, I was at the water line about fifteen
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: yards from tower to making a safety contact when I
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: looked up and saw a child about twenty yards from
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: the tower and he lost his footing in ankle deep water.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: So then the guy radioed in and threw his radio
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: and sunglasses at the base of the tower and jumped
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: in and pulled the kid out. And there were the
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: waves were pretty ferocious and the water was a pretty
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: violent so bystanders also jumped into help, and the lifeguard
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: yelled at them to get back to shore. I mean,
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: the wherewithal of this sixteen year old kid, it's pretty impressive.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: So now what President Trump is weighing in. There's talk
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: about giving this kid a medal at the White House.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: So good on this young man. He jumped in and
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: did what a sixteen year old lifeguard supposed to do,
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: which is save lives, even if it means putting his
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: own life in danger. So just a good, good kid.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: The ten year old boy was identified by TV station
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: KTVU as named Nathaniel. His father praised the sixteen year
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: old's efforts. He says, it was remarkable to bring him
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: back to shore. I mean, writer fought the sea, and
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: he really did. By the way it turns out, the
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: little boy, and when you watch the videos, the videos
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: at Todd Stenge dot com, the kid's unconscious, the little
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: ten year old, and he was limp even though though
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: we weigh about one hundred pounds, that's deadweight. And this
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: sixteen year old just man, by God's grace. What a
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: terrific story. What a terrific story. Reminds me of the
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: great Ronald Reagan, who was a lifeguard when he was
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: a boy growing up in Illinois. And Reagan saved many, many,
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: many lives, and he kept track of all of them
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: throughout his career, and he was quite a lifeguard. Hold
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: on just one moment here. Reagan actually also there's a
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: story when he was governor. That's what I was checking
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: to see when he was governor. They were at some
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: sort of a high falutin fundraiser. They had a huge
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: swimming pool there and apparently a child during the event
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: fell into the pool. Ronald Reagan in his suit, jumps
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: into the pool and saves the child from drowning. According
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: to according to the Reagan Library, Reagan saved seventy seven
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: lives seventy seven lives as a lifeguard. And one of
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: the funny stories. I was reading a paper about this
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: and one of the funny stories about being a lifeguard.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: Reagan was a pretty good looking guy. I mean, he
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: was a you know, a Hollywood movies he was eventually
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: became a Hollywood movie star. But he's Parker. He kind
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: of had, you know, good looks, you know, he was
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: he was not unpleasant to look at, and the girls
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: loved him and them. And the story goes that Reagan
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: saved many young ladies from drowning, when in fact, those
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: young ladies knew how to swim, but they would pretend
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: they would fake it, hoping that Reagan would jump in
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: and pull them out of the water and I don't know,
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: give him mouth to mouth or something.
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: There's a very similar scene in the sandlot. If you've
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: seen that movie where it's a bunch of little boys
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: playing baseball and one of them does the same thing
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: to one of the female lifeguards and actually gets some
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: gets there to perform mouth to mouth.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Is that right?
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: It's hilarious.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: Well, they may have gotten that from Ronald Reagan. That's
• 36:00

  Speaker 3: copy of my brand new book in stores August eleventh,
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America. Well, there is
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: no doubt a lot of controversy out there on the
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: campaign trail and a lot of Shenanigans as well. One
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: of the people that's coming under ferocious attack happens to
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: be Congressman Andy Ogles from Tennessee. He is running in
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: the fifth Congressional district race and he is facing stiff
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: opposition not from Tennesseeans, but from Californians and specifically billionaires
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: from the San Francisco Bay area. Well, I want to
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: bring into the conversation Patrick Parsons with the Freedom Caucus Fund. Patrick,
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: good to have you with us today.
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: Good to be with you, tood.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Patrick. What's going on here? And why do San Francisco
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: billionaires care about Tennessee's fifth Congressional district.
• 39:22
  Speaker 10: Well, you probably remember during the Biden years there were
• 39:25
  Speaker 10: hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars being sloshed around from
• 39:30
  Speaker 10: Biden's people in Washington, and we refer to it as
• 39:33
  Speaker 10: the Green new Scam. Well, the members of the House
• 39:36
  Speaker 10: Freedom Caucus and Congressman Ogles, who's coming under fire in
• 39:40
  Speaker 10: Tennessee's fifth They worked laid into the night during the
• 39:44
  Speaker 10: Big Beautiful Bill negotiations to strip out all funding of
• 39:48
  Speaker 10: the Green new scam. So now you have the San
• 39:50
  Speaker 10: Francisco billionaire NAM Chris Larson, who spent twelve million dollars
• 39:55
  Speaker 10: for Kamala Harris, is spending two million against Andy Ogles
• 39:59
  Speaker 10: in the the Republican primary to try to take him out.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: This is really shocking and quite frankly disgusting. The super
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: Pac and Axios has done a sort of a deep
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: divelt all of this. They've invested millions of dollars to
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: target Andy Ogles and they're My understanding is they're putting
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: seven hundred thousand dollars behind Andy Ogles Andy Eagles Republican
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: primary challenger. Is that true?
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly right.
• 40:27
  Speaker 10: And that's on top of the one point three million
• 40:29
  Speaker 10: they've already spent, so they're up to two million. You know,
• 40:32
  Speaker 10: Ogles primary challenger is a goal on to get along
• 40:35
  Speaker 10: guy who has not denounced. Millions of big Green scam
• 40:39
  Speaker 10: San Francisco Democrat money coming in, and yeah, it's a
• 40:42
  Speaker 10: tight race. President Trump has endorsed Andy Ogles. He's one
• 40:45
  Speaker 10: of the most conservative members of Congress in Washington, and
• 40:48
  Speaker 10: quite frankly, he fights the Democrats, and I'm not so
• 40:51
  Speaker 10: sure the other guy would.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Ever do that.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: Well, that's a fair point you make. As a matter
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: of fact. You know, the President hosting a tele rally
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: for the congressman this week, so clearly the residents made
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: his pick, and that he believes that Andy Ogles is
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: the best you know, is the best guy for the job.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: It's just really shocking that it just seems to me
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: as a Republican, if you've got an R behind your name,
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: you need to be you need to be supporting your party.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: And yet Charlie Hanscher, I have to imagine he's got
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: no problem with this, uh these this money coming out
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: of California. If it's going to take out Ogles, well.
• 41:27
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, and I think he knew it was
• 41:28
  Speaker 10: going to happen. I saw an interview with him before
• 41:31
  Speaker 10: the big California billionaire started spending money, and Hatcher said,
• 41:34
  Speaker 10: I'm gonna play mister nice guy, and I think some
• 41:38
  Speaker 10: other people might go negative, but I'm not going to
• 41:40
  Speaker 10: well Q trick the Nashville establishment mafia as well. Probably
• 41:45
  Speaker 10: knew all about what was about to happen here, and
• 41:48
  Speaker 10: Hatcher knew it as well. And that's why I encourage
• 41:50
  Speaker 10: anybody who's watching your show from our organization, we're asking
• 41:53
  Speaker 10: people to vote for Andy Ogles again. He's endorsed by Trump.
• 41:57
  Speaker 10: He fights the Democrats harder than vert anyone in Washington,
• 42:01
  Speaker 10: and we can't let California billionaires and Democrats come in
• 42:04
  Speaker 10: and steal this seat from Conservatives in Tennessee.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: And by the way, it's not just Tennessee, I understand
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: this is this organization's going after what Congressmanship Roy, also
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: Marionette Miller Meeks out of Iowa, both of whom are
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: our regulars on this program, as well as Congressman Ogles.
• 42:24
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I would expect them. We saw what they did
• 42:27
  Speaker 10: to Chip Roy. They spend a lot of money to
• 42:30
  Speaker 10: take him out of the attorney general race out there,
• 42:32
  Speaker 10: and I would expect these guys, you know, we're talking
• 42:34
  Speaker 10: about primaries here, but I would expect them all over
• 42:37
  Speaker 10: the country to be spending tens of millions of dollars
• 42:40
  Speaker 10: in the general election. The guy who's spending against Ogles,
• 42:43
  Speaker 10: like I said, he spent twelve million dollars for Kamala Harris,
• 42:47
  Speaker 10: and he said that he's going to spend whatever it
• 42:49
  Speaker 10: takes to elect Gavin Newsom president. So again, you want
• 42:53
  Speaker 10: to stick it to these guys vote ogles.
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's the way to do it. And we've
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: got to make sure we're sending rock solid conservatives to
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: Capitol Hill. Patrick Parsons with the Freedom Caucus Fund joining
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: us today on the on the show. Patrick, you know,
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: it's it's really tough if if you are maybe a novice, uh,
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: you know, you're you're you're you're spending more time at
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: your kids baseball games or getting your kids ready to
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: go back to school, and you hear all these attack
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: ads that are being targed and they're targeting Republicans. It's
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: how do you maneuver through that? And what advice do
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: you give these uh these potential voters out there to
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: figure out who are the honest brokers.
• 43:34
  Speaker 10: Well, I'm sure everybody out there is seeing ads all
• 43:37
  Speaker 10: over Tennessee. You've got a governor's race, you have congressional races,
• 43:41
  Speaker 10: you have state legislative races, and I know it can
• 43:43
  Speaker 10: all be confusing, but that's why our organization we're spending
• 43:46
  Speaker 10: pretty heavily in favor of Ogels to reach those voters. Uh,
• 43:52
  Speaker 10: early voting is going on now, Election day is August sixth.
• 43:56
  Speaker 11: I would just say, look at the records.
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: I mean, if you if you're going to.
• 43:59
  Speaker 10: Vote for somebody who is currently in Congress, look at
• 44:03
  Speaker 10: their voting record, and then look at who is backing
• 44:06
  Speaker 10: each guy. Look who's backing the other guy. It's California billionaires.
• 44:10
  Speaker 10: Who's backing Ogles, It's Trump, But it's not just Trump.
• 44:13
  Speaker 10: Ogels has a record and he's proven. And that's what
• 44:16
  Speaker 10: I would encourage people to do when they're going into
• 44:19
  Speaker 10: the voting booth.
• 44:20
  Speaker 11: Look.
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: I think that's wise advice. And whenever I see who's
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: endorsing these candidates, that also gives you a little bit
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: of some insight. For example, you know, when you look
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: at Charlie Hatcher, he's getting the endorsement of former Governor
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: Bill Haslam, who was basically not necessarily a Rhino, but
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: certainly a more moderate Republican. So I think it's important
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: for people to step back, do their homework, and make
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: sure that you're casting your vote for the rock solid
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: America First Conservative and Andy Ogles certainly fits that bill.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so.
• 44:55
  Speaker 10: And look last primary election cycle, when Andy Ogles was
• 45:00
  Speaker 10: facing a heavily funded challenger, it was the Nashville establishment
• 45:05
  Speaker 10: Republican guys. They were holding fundraisers downtown and Belle Meade
• 45:09
  Speaker 10: everywhere else, and they said, we don't want Ogles. At
• 45:11
  Speaker 10: the end of the day, Ogles to them is not
• 45:14
  Speaker 10: a guy who will do whatever they want, and that
• 45:17
  Speaker 10: is bring home the bacon. We've got too many of
• 45:20
  Speaker 10: these people in Washington DC already. We need more fighters.
• 45:24
  Speaker 10: We need more people who are going to stand up
• 45:26
  Speaker 10: from the Democrats, not just sit back in the corner
• 45:28
  Speaker 10: and say, look, I'm a nice guy. No, the Democrats
• 45:31
  Speaker 10: are not nice people. They are nasty people. They are communists.
• 45:35
  Speaker 10: Trump's call them that. I've been calling that for a
• 45:37
  Speaker 10: long time. And Ogles is the guy in this district
• 45:39
  Speaker 10: in my opinion, who's the guy to stand up against them.
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: That's it, all right? Well, Patrick, we appreciate you coming
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: on the program today and setting the record straight. And
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: I know a lot of people are going to be
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: out casting votes. There's early voting currently under way in Tennessee.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: So those of you that are in that fifth congressional district.
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: You need to get out there and vote. And if
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: you're going to vote for the rock solid conservative, Andy
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: Ogles is your guy there, Patrick Parsons from the Freedom
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: Caucus Fund, Patrick, thank you for joining us.
• 46:11
  Speaker 10: Thanks Ton, have a good day.
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: All right, there you go. Lots of Shenanigans. Meanwhile, in Michigan,
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm telling you, Michigan, it's going to be
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: a battleground state there. The the Democrats are loading up
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: radical progressives and it's it's so bad, it is so
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: bad that there is a very good chance republic Michigan
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: could swing into the Republican column again. That's how that's
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: how serious it is. But the situation in Tennessee is interesting.
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: You know, they turned the Memphis area into three, so
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: Memphis is now three congressional districts and they're sort of
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: they're big districts. That that Ogles race is one to
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: watch because the Democrat is somebody who is very appealing.
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: Their trying to portray him as a moderate and he's
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: he could that could get to be that could be
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: a very very interesting race for the Republicans and the Democrats,
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: which is why the idea that Republicans are taking Democrat
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: money and targeting Andy Ogles. That is unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable.
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: All Right, We've got to take a break here of folks.
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: Our telephone number, that's nine oh one two six zero five,
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: nine two six. This is the Todd starn Show. All right,
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: Welcome back, everybody. It's the Todd Searns Radio Show. I
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: have a question for you folks in Texas and also
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: for you folks in North Carolina. What are we going
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: to do with with your two senators. You've got outgoing
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: senators John Cornyn he's getting the heav ho and Tom
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: Tillis out of North Carolina and he's not running for
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: reelection again. But these two men are now they're now
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: intentionally stopping up President Trump's agenda in the Senate. And
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: so last night we had a little bit of breaking
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: news when the Senate decided to postpone the confirmation hearing
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: for Todd Blanche who is going to be the next
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: Attorney General. And President Trump is just enraged over all
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: of this, and the reason why they're they're having to
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: postpone the hearing is because Tom Tillis and John Cornyn, Right,
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: now are no votes. They're going to stand up to
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: the president of their own party. This is so disgusting
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: and reprehensible what these guys are doing. They're basically spoiled brats,
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: is what they are. Men with very small man parts.
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: If you will me, Tom may feel we that's who
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: these people are. These be grown men sitting United States senators,
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: and they are willing to stop the entire agenda of
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: this president to get their point across. So anyway, now
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: President Trump is stepping in and he's threatening to withdraw
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: Blanche's nomination until both men are out of office next year,
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: and then they'll be able to confirm mister Blanche's Attorney
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: General of the President. Writing on True Social Tom Blanche
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: is a star and everyone knows it. He has the
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: potential to go down as one of the greatest Attorney
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: generals of all time. However, John Cornyn of Texas and
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: Tom Tillis of North Carolina, both of whom I refuse
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: to endorse and whose political careers have been ended by
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: my action, are refusing to vote for this great nominee
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: who will remain in any event as acting. So nothing's
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: really going to change. Lance is start going to be
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: running things. But this is John Cornyn and Tom tell
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: Us sticking it to the man. We'll show him that
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: big Meani, that big big meani ridiculous. Anyway, Trump goes
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: on to remember both Cornyn and tell Us about it
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: for Merrick Garland. You see, this is what really ticks
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: me off is that these guys out there, they'll stick
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: it to Donald Trump, but when it comes to the Democrats,
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: they'll bend over and take it right up the wazoo
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: and say please again, sir. That's what they're doing. President
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: Trump says, I have no objection to temporarily withdrawing Todd's
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: name if they do not do the right thing, and
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: putting him back after Cornyn and tell Us are out
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: of office. Well, good for you, mister. And I'm just
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: I feel bad for Donald Trump, the poor guy. He's
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: been through everything. They tried to kill the guy, what
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: two three times. He's having to fight his own party
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: tooth and nail on an agenda, by the way, an
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: agenda that got him elected in a landslide, not Congress. Unbelievable.
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: So I'm curious, what is the attitude. What are people
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: saying about Tom Tillis in North Carolina. What are you
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: folks in Texas? What are you saying about John Cornyn?
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: They say he's all hat, no cattle, That's what they say. Anyway.
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: John Cornyan is shrugging off all of this. Here's what
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: he wrote on x podis is mistaken if he believes
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: concerns about the provisions in his tank silo suits said,
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: and they're limited to me and Senator Tillis, what a
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: whiny little oh. I can't say that around my apology's Parker,
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: thank you for catching me. I would have gotten put
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: on the church prayer list again, right safe terrible.
• 52:11
  Speaker 6: Hearing.
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: She's a penny milf. Penny Milf. Sorry, I just got
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: worked up anyway. Chuck Grassley, who's the what one hundred
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: and twenty year old a Senate Judiciary chair. He actually
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: looks good for his age. You know, he's still out there,
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: he's working the farm. So I'm in a cornfield. I No,
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: he's not one hundred and twenty. I think he's one
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: hundred and twelve. But he looks good for his age.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: Still goes down to the dairy queen with the missus,
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: So he's anyway. Uh, Grassley said, yeah, we're gonna have
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: to pull the nomination right now, We're gonna have to
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: most opponent and because without the support of tell Us
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: and John Cornyn, they won't be able to make it
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: to the Senate floor. That's that's the issue here. So
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: that's it's just ridiculous. Do you see what President? Look,
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: here's what gets me, and the President is still in
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: a great mood. I mean, that's the the great irony
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: here is you or I? If we had to go
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: through what they put this guy through, what his own
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: party puts him through, we'd be we'd be fighting somebody.
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: We'd be down at the waffle house. It'd be on
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: light Donkey Kong. I'm just telling you. Nine oh one
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six are telephone number.
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: I was on Newsmax earlier this morning, and it's, uh,
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: you know, I think Parker, the whole point of this
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: was meant for me to have less work, you know,
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: so being a contributor on Newsmax. But I think that's
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna actually be busier now because I had to
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: get about the crack of dawn. I should have rethought this,
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: should have read the fine print in the contract. Anyway,
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: I'm on Newsmax this morning and I'm uh there asking
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: me about and I got a little bit of pushback
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: because I said, look, when it came to the Fauci hearings,
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: I said, look, I just I don't think it's going
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: to amount to anything. I really don't. I don't think
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: that we are going to see Fauci being held accountable.
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, the man ought to be charged with crimes
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: against humanity. I truly believe that, but I don't think
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: I just don't think that's going to happen.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: I may be mistaken, but I don't think so. I
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: think what we saw yesterday was all performative. It was
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: political theater. Everybody got there, you know, ounce of flesh.
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, this is disgusting.
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, a grown man who was obsessed with his
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: own celebrity, his own celebrity just unbelievable. I mean, do
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: you know of another grown man who does his own
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: scrap booking? Park? I mean, you're an athlete. You know
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: you got the name of the newspapers. Do you have
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: a scrap book? I do not, No, of course not.
• 55:04
  Speaker 6: I have a couple of framed pictures, but like, that's it.
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: But you're a grown man. You don't there's no need
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: to scrap book. You know, You're you're not sitting in
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: your room on your bed with Taylor Swift playing and
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: you're like gluing pictures and articles and putting them in
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: you You don't do that, and no guy would. But
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: anyway Fauci does. We're not going to judge that. But
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: I can just tell you that he was in love
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: with himself and Jake Tamper, and you have to imagine.
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, he had dozens and dozens of times that
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: he and Jake Tamper were corresponding, they went out to
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: dinner together. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: you have to imagine doctor Fauci, you know, in his
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: girlish bedroom, sitting there on the on the bed late
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: at night, doing the doodles. You know, iHeart Jake, mister
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: and missus Anthony Tamper. I mean it's.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: You.
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: You can your mind can't help but wander in that direction.
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: And then he goes out and he, you know, kills
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: the beagle in the backyard. We'll be right back, all right,
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: welcome back at This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show.
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: Great to have you with us. Our telephone number, by
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: the way, nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: two six. Again that telephone number, nine oh one two
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six. Well, we have been
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: so honored to have a new sponsor joining us. And uh,
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: there has been a lot of excitement around Movement Mortgage
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: and the great work they are doing around the country. Uh,
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: their faith based approach to the mortgage industry, which is
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: something you don't hear a lot about these days. Uh,
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: we're just so excited to welcome back to the program
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: from Movement Mortgage. And by the way, that website movement
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: dot com slash starns. That's Movement dot com slash Starns
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: is Harlan Acola. Harlan. Good to see you again, my friends.
• 57:14
  Speaker 4: Good to see you, Todd. You're doing good work.
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you, Harlan. We appreciate it. And I know
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: we have so many, so many of our listeners who
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: are getting ready to, you know, look at retirement, or
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: maybe they're already on the cusp of retiring. A lot
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: of folks are just trying to figure things out, you know,
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: how we how do we have enough money what do
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: we do? What should we be doing? And you guys
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: answer all of those questions at movement dot com.
• 57:42
  Speaker 4: You know, we love to do that because retirement is
• 57:45
  Speaker 4: it's almost like a first time home buyer. We do
• 57:46
  Speaker 4: a lot of first time home buyers, but retirement is
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: a bigger deal because you don't get any duovers. You
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: can screw up on the first time, but when you're
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: in the retirement phase, there's no doovers in retirement.
• 57:58
  Speaker 5: No.
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: I think you're right, and that's you know that that
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: is something that a lot of people are thinking about
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: and you want to make sure you get all of
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: your ducts in a row before you retire. And I
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: think looking at the idea of reverse mortgages is a
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: is a big, big deal. And guys, if we could
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: get that door closed over here on THEA studio, that
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: would be great. Thank you, Harlan. Let's talk about the
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: top four reasons why people do not like reverse mortgages.
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, it's interesting. I've been doing this for
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: twenty years and it all comes down to these four
• 58:34
  Speaker 4: almost ninety nine percent of the time. And the first
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: one is kind of the funniest one in a sense
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: because we're a lender. We lend money and collect interest.
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: We're not a investor in properties. We don't own houses.
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: In fact, if we end up owning a house, that
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: means it's a mistake. But everybody says, oh, reverse mortgage
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: is that's when the bank takes the house and now
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: you don't own it anymore. It's simply not true. We
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: simply put a lean on the property, just like a
• 59:01
  Speaker 4: regular forward mortgage or line of credit or anything else,
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: and say, hey, a portion of this when you sell it.
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: We have to be paid back like any other loan.
• 59:09
  Speaker 4: And we never change ownership. If somebody's going to change
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: ownership and offer to pay your taxes and insurance, they're
• 59:15
  Speaker 4: taking over ownership.
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: Of your house.
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: We don't do that one hundred percent of the time.
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: The bank is never going to want to be in
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: the ownership of your house. Yet people think that over
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: and over and over, and that's the first thing I
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: have to tell me. No, No, it's not that you
• 59:34
  Speaker 4: own your house. Your kids owned the house, your wife
• 59:36
  Speaker 4: owns the house after you pass. This is not something
• 59:38
  Speaker 4: We're not interested in owning your house. You interested in
• 59:41
  Speaker 4: lending you money.
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: And I think one of the other big the big
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: misconceptions is this is only for poor people or people
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: that are in need. That that's another one.
• 59:51
  Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, that comes up. I've heard all kinds,
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: but well, I don't need one of those. I'm fine,
• 59:57
  Speaker 4: We're good yet. You know, we're not broke. We still
• 59:59
  Speaker 4: can buy food, and I have a reverse mortgage. I
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: don't need one. I'm still working, even I'm not in retirement.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: I'm old enough too. But it's just amazing to me
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 4: that that's been so put into people's psychology that they
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 4: just believe that's the way it is, and you must
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 4: be broken in order to get a reverse mortgage. And
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 4: the truth is is that, yes, we want to help people.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: If there's somebody out there right now that's hurting and
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 4: they're broken, they lost a spouse, or they're in a
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 4: divorce situation or whatever, they need money, we want to
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 4: help them. There's nothing that I'm not shying away from
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: that at all. But the vast majority of people we
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 4: work with are doing preventive loans, and they're doing something
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 4: to make sure that they don't run into trouble on
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 4: the other side of the equation, and that is where
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: they're planning for paying less in taxes. They're planning for
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: making sure that they can help their kids. Just talk
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 4: to a client this morning. He wants to help all
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: four of his kids buy a house. So by the
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: time I die, I'm ninety, they're sixty. They don't need
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 4: my help then. And so it can be used for
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: just additional income. It can be used for tax shielding.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: It can be even done if you've got a lot
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: of money, can be done for giving money away. There
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: are so many different opportunities of how that can work
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 4: out that people just aren't aware of.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: Again, we're talking about the four top reasons why people
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: don't like reverse mortgages. Another that we've heard Harlan is
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: that the cost is just too high.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, people worry about the interest rates. Sometimes they're told
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 4: that the interest rate is really high, which.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: Is not true.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 4: That the interest rate is market interest rate is pretty
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 4: much like any other interest rate. That for any mortgage
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 4: six seven percent, which is higher obviously than it was
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 4: a number of years ago. But it's usually cheaper than
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 4: a regular mortgage, cheaper than a home equity line. And
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 4: so sometimes what they're referring to is the cost of
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 4: getting into the loan, which requires some mortgage insurance, and
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 4: there is additional cost for that, and so people do
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 4: have to figure a higher amount of closing costs. But
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 4: really I always tell people, you know, this is the
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 4: most expensive loan. At the same time, it's the cheapest
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: loan because you never make a payment until a year
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 4: after you're dead, and that's really good timing. And so
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 4: it's really the least expensive during your lifetime because you
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: never have to make a mortgage payment until the end.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: And that is something that relieves people so much from
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: their obligations that they have to, you know, make those payments,
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 4: and so it's such a huge help from.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: There, you know.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: I think one of the other I think top reasons
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: is about and you mentioned kids their inheritance, and some
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: people say, oh, no, no, no, I can't do the reverse mortgage.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: It's going to hurt the kid's inheritance.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 4: How do you respond to that, Well, the first thing
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 4: I tell them is I love my kids, and I
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 4: have a reverse mortgage. We have four wonderful sons and
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: four wonderful daughter in laws and seven wonderful grandkids. And
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 4: I tell them, why would I do that if I
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 4: didn't care about my kids. I don't know you know,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 4: tell me why, because the fact is is that what
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 4: the difference is is that, yes, I will have less
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: equity in my house to pass on to my children
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: at the end, my adult children at the end, but
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 4: I have more money that I can give them while
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 4: they're alive because I'm not making mortgage payments. And at
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: the same token, I will also because I can give
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 4: more to them while they're alive, and because I'm not
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: making mortgage payments, I can put more money into things
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: like life insurance or wroth I rays or whatever, and
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 4: they can actually end up inheriting more less equity, but
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 4: more cash. Now, it is true the longer I live,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 4: I may have less money to pass along. And so
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: when I when people say I want to give the
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: maximum amount of money that I can to my kids,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 4: I said, is that your main goal? And they said yes,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 4: And I said, then you've got to die right away.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 4: The quicker you die, the more money your kids will get.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 4: And if your kids want you to die early so
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: they can get more money, you should probably find some
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 4: new kids. So it is true that the cost of
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 4: living uses up some money, and people that live a
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 4: long time, especially if there's health issues, can end up
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: in a situation where, quite frankly, there's less money left
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: at the end. But after all, the kids aren't waiting around,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: usually for an inheritance. What they're waiting around for is
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 4: to spend more time with their parents. The kids, the grandkids,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 4: to spend more time with their grandparents. That's way more
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 4: valuable than something called money.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: Harlan is the reverse mortgage director at Movement Mortgage and
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: the website. I'm going to give you a telephone number
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: as well. I want you to write this down, folks,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: Movement dot com, slash starns. That's Movement dot com, slash starns.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 3: The telephone number five eight zero reverse. That's five eight
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 3: zero reverse. Harlem also has a great book called Home
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: Equity and Reverse Mortgages, The Cinderella of the baby boomer retirement.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: So Harlan, let's take people through this. They're going to
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 3: call this a orf ibate zero reverse. What's going to
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: happen when they call that telephone number.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 4: Well, the first thing that happens is we set up
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 4: a short little meeting, usually at last fifteen to twenty minutes,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 4: to let them know this is how it might work
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 4: for them. We will not sell them anything that cannot
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 4: buy anything. During that call, it's strictly informational because I
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 4: don't think I want to reverse mary I've heard think
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 4: I'm afraid of them. That's fine. This is not something
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 4: that we are going to say you got to buy something,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 4: but you should find out about it and get some
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 4: information and then be able to make the decision from there.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 4: When we're done talking about that, then we send them
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: out the book. They go through the book, and then
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: they give us a callback and say, okay, let's go
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 4: to the next level. Let's ask some more questions. I
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 4: want to find out some more things from here. But
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: the biggest thing is when you're going into that phase
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 4: of life, what we call the fourth quarter of life,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 4: it is critical important to have all the information. And
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 4: people say, well, I don't want to get roped into
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 4: an appointment a meeting with any of your loan officers.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: Our loan officers are highly trained on dealing with retirement issues.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 4: And even if you don't end up getting a reverse mortgage,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 4: you might learn something about Medicare or Medicaid or Social
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 4: Security or IRMA or whatever that's going to impact your
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 4: life for the better. We always share something with you
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 4: completely for free, just to be of help to you.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 4: And so that's what people should do, is not decide, yeah,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 4: I'm going to do it or not. That's not what
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 4: the call is about. It's about I need more information
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 4: to find out how this affects myself and my family.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 4: And they always say, well, if you don't, if it's
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 4: something you don't know, what you don't know doesn't hurt you.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: When it comes to retirement, what you don't know can
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 4: hurt you a lot, whether it's paying too much in taxes,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 4: whether it's paying too much for medicare, or simply not
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 4: having enough money or your wife not having enough money
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 4: when you pass away. This is so these things are
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 4: so critical for people to understand the value of knowledge
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 4: when they're going into uncharted waters.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: And again, folks, and the whole point is you're not
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: going to be making a decision right now today when
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: you call in, you're starting the information process. And that's
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: you've got to do that initially, which is why I
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: want you to write down this number five eight zero
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: reverse five eight zero reverse, or go to movement dot com,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: slash Starns and Harlan. They also need to get a
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: copy of this great book.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I want to share that with them because
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 4: you know, there's so much miser information out there. It's ridiculous.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 4: Reverse mortgages have been attacked more than any other retirement
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 4: product as something that you know, shouldn't be used or
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: should only be used for poor people. And this is
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 4: something that's helped my family out, has helped so many
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 4: of my clients out. I just want to share that
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 4: because I know there's so many people that will have
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 4: better lives if they can just spend some time checking
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 4: out a few things. Because you know, you can spend
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 4: an hour watching a TV show or you know, doing
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 4: something that's not even that important, and it won't be
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 4: as much help for the fourth quarter of life as
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 4: this book and a consultation with one of our team
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 4: members will be. So we're not gonna, you know, just
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 4: this isn't a timeshare sale that we keep you in
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 4: for two hours before you can, you know, hang up
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 4: the phone. This is something that we have a lot
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 4: of fun too. You know, we look at enjoying this
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 4: discussion and there's a lot of laughter that happens during
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 4: these zoom calls.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: I love that. I love that. All right, folks, give

  Speaker 3: my friend.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, I answered all of your questions. Notice
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 4: I never pled the fifth on one of the questions
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: that you asked me.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: Look, here's my concern. This was and this was a
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: legitimate concern, because you know me, Harlan, I'm a very
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: caring person. I was concerned that many of those lawmakers
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: might have been using that phrase as their drinking game phrase.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: And if that's the case, the uber drivers in DC
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: were very busy yesterday, no question about that. And you
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: don't yeah, you need to take the fifth in that reply.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: All right, Harlan. We'll be talking to you next week.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: And thank thanks again for the great work you guys
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: do a movement.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Todd. Appreciate you all right, man?
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: Do they? I just I love these guys because there
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: are it's look, you know, I'm like, I don't know,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: ten years away from retiring. I maybe I will retire.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I was thinking about, like seventy seventy five.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: Is that a good retirement? I don't know, But anyway,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 3: you start thinking about those things. And that's why I
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: love Harlan and Movement Mortgage because they help you through
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 3: that process so it doesn't have to be sort of unsettling.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: It is a little unsettling, right, because you want to
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: make sure you've got all of your ducks in a row,
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: all of your is it the eggs in one basket? No,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: you don't want your eggs in one basket. That's about anyway.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 3: All that to say, they're gonna help you with your
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 3: eggs and all the other produce as well. Uh, movement
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: dot com slash starns asmovement dot com slash starns and uh,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 3: they're gonna they're gonna help you out. Five to eight
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: zero reverse is the telephone number there? You know that
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: is interesting. What is a good retirement age? What are you?
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: When are you deciding? You know what, I'm gonna stop working, Parker?
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: Have you ever thought about that? I mean, you're a
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: young guy, you're just starting out.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not even I'll be twenty two next week,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 6: So that hasn't really crossed my mind yet. But yeah,
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 6: it depends what you're doing, I think.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, I guess if you like what you do,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: why would you stop doing it?
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 6: Exactly? If you've got the opportunity to keep doing it
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 6: as long as you can and you're healthy.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. I mean, if I'm looking if I'm seventy
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 3: or seventy five, which is that actually is a ways away.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: But if I'm that old and I'm a fuddy duddy
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 3: on the radio, Yeah, somebody's got to tell me Starns,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 3: you got to pack it in. You're putting people to sleep.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 3: Or if every other word out of my every other
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: word Parker out of my mouth is get off my lawn.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: You know that. Yeah, that's uh, that's problematic as well.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 6: As long as you can do it at a high level,
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 6: keep doing it right exactly. I was watching Oh you will, You'll,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 6: You'll have to help me out with the name of
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 6: this movie. Is it Moneyball?
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 12: Yes?
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 3: I have no idea why. That just popped up yesterday
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 3: and I thought, you know, it has been a long
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: time since it's it's a Brad Pitt And who's the
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: fat guy the co star?
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 6: Oh, I know you're talking about he looks like an
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 6: NBA reporter. I thought it was in the whole time
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 6: I saw it looks like NBA reporter Brian Wenthorse.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: No, that's not who it is. Jonah Hill, thank you. Well,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: you know Jonah Hill. He's like super fat that he
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 3: gets super scared, then he's super fat again and you
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 3: can't keep up. So anyway, I'm watching this and they
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 3: were talking about anyway there was there was something that
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 3: was I was going to tie into all of this.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 3: But but anyway, it's Oh, it's about retirement. You you
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: play the game as long as you can and then
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 3: you just can't. I mean, that's just life.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 6: So it's a great way to look at it. It's
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 6: it is a terrific way to look at it.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 3: But I am curious in any of you folks out
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 3: there that have already taken the plunge and you've retired,
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 3: what what factored into all of that?
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 3: are number. That's nine oh one two six zero five
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 3: nine two six. This is the Todd Stern Show. All right,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 3: I have a question for all of you Christian people
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 3: out there, and here goes. So I just got word
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 3: that the Memphis Islamic Center is hosting a big Democrat
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 3: candidate for them. So the Muslims in the Memphis area,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 3: we have a growing Muslim population, much like you folks
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 3: in Texas. They're hosting a big forum for all the Democrats.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 3: All of the cities black mega churches in Memphis are
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 3: holding political rallies for Democrat candidates. All of the city's
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 3: white progressive churches are holding rallies for Democrat candidates. And meanwhile,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: the white evangelical churches are not doing anything. Well, we
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: just don't like to We don't like to talk about
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 3: politics in our in our precious little congregation that's just
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 3: beneath us. We just don't do that. Wwjd, WWJD. We
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: just don't talk about politics. And they don't. They really don't.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 3: It's shocking to me. And so people are always surprised.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 3: I get someone's pointed out. I think Republican voter turnout
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: is like down fourteen percent. And the reason why is because,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 3: and I'm just telling you, most people are getting their
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: political news and guidance from the church house. So here's
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: my question, why is it that these white evangelical churches,
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 3: and it's not just Memphis, But across America, why is
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: it the white evangelical churches have disengaged? I mean, the
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 3: Pentecostals are certainly getting engaged, but not the white Evangelicals.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about my own denomination, for example, this Southern
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 3: Baptist convention. Why are you guys sitting out this one?
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: I got to take a break. We'll be right back.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 13: Most people love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 13: So yeah, really you can save a ton and like
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 13: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 13: of your health care. So if you're self employed, a
• 1:15:00

  Speaker 3: Eight four four forty three Bible.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: That's American to start.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 3: Well, Hello everybody, our three of the Big Show. Good
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 3: to have you with us today. And thank you for
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 3: joining us our telephone number nine oh one two six
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 3: zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one two
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: six zero five, nine two six and a question. I
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 3: want to continue this conversation that we had in the
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 3: last few minutes of the last hour of the program
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 3: as we are watching early voting happen across the nation,
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 3: and a couple of observations here. First of all, we
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: are looking at all of the black progressive churches around America,
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: whether they be small churches or megachurches, engage in the
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 3: political process. These churches across the nation are hosting political forums,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 3: They're hearing from the candidates, and quite frankly, holding campaign
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: rallies at their churches. Now you've got the Muslims involved
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 3: and engaged. I told you in the last hour about
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 3: the Islamic Center of Memphis, Tennessee. They are hosting candidate
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: forums for the Democrats as well as all the black
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 3: progressive churches. So all Democrat, all focused on Democrat candidates.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 3: A lot of the white progressive churches are also engaged
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: in the political process. And yet on the other side
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 3: of the aisle, when you look at mostly white non
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 3: denominational churches and white evangelical churches, and especially within the
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: Southern Baptist Convention, you are not finding hardly any engagement.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: I will say most, not all. I want to offer
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 3: that caveat, but I got to tell you would be
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 3: hard pressed to find many churches around the nation that
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: are engaged in the political process. Now here's where I
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 3: draw the line. I don't think. I don't think churches
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: ought to be endorsing candidates. I don't think that's the
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 3: job of the church or the role of the church.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 3: But I do think it's the responsibility of the church
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 3: to explain to Christians and to the congregation what their
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 3: values are and why we should be voting our values.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: I think the churches ought to be providing information about
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 3: the candidates and their positions on issues that impact the church.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 3: So for us just to completely and when I say us,
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 3: I'm a Southern Baptist, and for us to completely disengage
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 3: from the political process, I'm curious. Why do you think
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 3: that is? Why do you think white evangelical churches have
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: disengaged from the political process, and how do we get
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 3: re engaged. And we're certainly seeing that play out among
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 3: young people in America who are going back to church
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 3: and are trying to figure out things with their lives.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: They're trying to understand their value system. I want to
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 3: bring into the conversation Bethany Miller from National Religious Broadcasters,
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: the director of Communications and also the managing editor of
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 3: really an awesome and cool magazine, The Conservator. Bethany, good
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 3: to have you back.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 14: With us, thanks to having me, Todd, great to be here.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 3: All right, Well let's talk about this. I just I mean,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 3: have you noticed sort of a be in my bonnet,
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 3: if you will, Bethany, that churches are just shying away
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 3: from politics. And I think that we churches ought to
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: be involved in politics because we're called to be salt
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 3: and light? Am I off base here?
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 15: You are not?
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 14: And I'm speaking to you as a fellow sbcer as well.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 14: And I'm seeing it in my own amongst the Bible Belt.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 14: I'm tuning in line from Nashville, Tennessee, and I'm getting
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 14: that exact same thing. We are the bell buckle of
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 14: the South. And you'd think right here in the Bible
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 14: Belt that's where it should be happening. But it's stemmed
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 14: from the seekert friendly movement. Pastors are no longer the
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 14: fiery Black roage regiment that this country used to have,
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 14: that spoke to the issues of the day and steward
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 14: those things well. And so there's no longer a pulpit freedom.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 14: And I would say to you it started all back
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 14: with Lyndon B. Johnson and that Johnson Amendment, no.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 3: Doubt about it. And again it's been a big problem.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 3: And I've noticed over the past I guess ten or
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 3: fifteen years, we've had so many millennial pastors coming out
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 3: of seminaries and it's almost as if they've taken, you know,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 3: the exact opposite approach of the Jerry Folwells and Pat
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: Robertson's of the day, the moral majority movement of the time,
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: and they say, oh, we can't do that. It's almost
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 3: as if that's not the business of the church. And
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: it's almost like politics is a dirty word. Well, you
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 3: know what, Bethany, when you take Christians out of the
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 3: political process, you get what we've got you do.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 14: And that is a product the millennials, ends well, as
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 14: gen Z is a product of moral relevantism when subject
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 14: when truth became subjective and it wasn't objective anymore, and
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 14: all of a sudden it WI was speak your truth,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 14: and that was what informed our churches and our pastors
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 14: have become soft and it is not gen Z is
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 14: waking up to this. They don't want and that's why
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 14: you're seeing a lot of them go to Catholic and
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 14: Orthodox churches. They don't want smoking mirrors anymore. They don't
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 14: want to show in entertainment. They want the God. They
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 14: want the cold, hard truth, and they want the full
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 14: counsel of God. So I do think that there's encouragement there.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 14: We've got something to do about it.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 3: You see, I'm glad you brought that up because you know,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 3: people are saying, oh, you know, the young people are
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 3: going back to church, but they're not going back to
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 3: you know, the for example, the Southern Baptist Church. I
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 3: don't see as many young couples, and I do see
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 3: them going, as you pointed out, to those Orthodox churches.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 3: And I can tell you that I've talked to some
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 3: folks that are involved in Orthodox churches and they say
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 3: that the pews are filling up on Sundays with mostly
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 3: young people. Why do you think that is? Why are
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 3: kids going to more established churches?
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 14: And I can speak to this personally as well. I
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 14: am part of an SPC church. I'm part of a
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 14: reformed SBC church where it prioritizes literargy, the Apostles, Creed,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 14: and preaching doctrine in theology. And I really do think
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 14: that gen z Ors don't want a ted talk on
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 14: Sunday anymore. They don't want something watered down that's going
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 14: to make you feel good anymore, because I think they've
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 14: had that, They've had that post COVID, they've had the
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 14: lack of connection, they've had this mental health crisis, and
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 14: they're looking for something real. And you're getting that in
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 14: the Catholic in the Orthodox Church, because they never swayed
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 14: away from doctrine in theology, whereas mainline denominations have.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: I'll say this about our friends in the Catholic Church.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 3: I appreciate their education system, the way they teach that
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 3: their parishioners about. You know, the people you know in
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 3: the Catholic Church who made an impact made a difference.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 3: If you go to a Southern Baptist church and I
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 3: hate I sound like I'm you know, I'm gonna get
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 3: in so much trouble with the women's missionary union at
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 3: my church. Why are you talking about about the Southern
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 3: Baptist but I'm really not. But if you go to
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 3: a Southern Baptist church and you go to a sunst
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 3: Southern Baptist Sunday School, they're not teaching you about those
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 3: great Southern Baptist leaders of years ago, or you know
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 3: the Southern Baptist or the Baptist rather who played a
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 3: role in the Revolutionary War, or you know made an
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 3: impact in this area or that area. And you don't
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 3: have the history and the tradition, and you've got to
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 3: be able to have that and pass that along to
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 3: the next generation.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 11: You really do.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 14: It is a legacy and it is something you passed down.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 14: And unfortunately our millennials did not pass down something that
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 14: was worth keeping. We passed down and even Gen X
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 14: passed down the Secret Movement. And I think gen Z
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 14: is waking up to the fact, and I'm hoping this
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 14: drives them to the polls that it is something we
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 14: are doing for the next generation and and we we're
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 14: losing that in the mainline denomination. So it's time to
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 14: to that and to move forward that we do have
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 14: something we need to preserve.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 3: So we've talked about everything the churches are doing that's wrong.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 3: What are they doing that's right? Because there aren't some
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 3: churches out there that are doing the right thing.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 14: They are and like I said, there are pockets of
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 14: the SBC, there are pockets of the PCA that are
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 14: doing just that thing. They are staying true to the Word,
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 14: They're staying true to the full Council of God. There
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 14: are not shying away from politics because they understand that
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 14: politics is one other thing to steward in addition to
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 14: family finances. Politics is just one other thing where there's
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 14: a biblical worldview. At NRB, we work with a lot
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 14: of different members who are in that place. Whether it's
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 14: in South Florida or if it's in the West Coast,
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 14: there are churches that are faithful and so I'm grateful
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 14: for that, and they are helping us with that religious turnout.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 14: In the polls this midterms, they helped us greatly with
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 14: twenty four So there's encouragement there. But I think that
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 14: when it comes to gen Z, we are seeing in
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 14: the data that there is an interest, there's just not
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 14: as much the discipleship that is coming. So I think
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 14: that's in the works, and I think that starts with mentorship.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 14: It starts with the tides two approach.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 3: You know, we've got a lot of things happening digitally now.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 3: I know a lot of churches have started to digital ministries,
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 3: a lot of Christian podcasters and I would, you know,
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 3: if you want to call them influencers, are really engaging
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 3: and it seems like it's sort of like the wild
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 3: wild West right now as we all sort of get
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 3: our bearings on this digital and AI culture that seems
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 3: to be clashing right now.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 14: Yes, very much showing it. It seems like every day every
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 14: gen Zer wants to be an influencer. They wake up
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 14: and they say, I'm going to start a YouTube, I'm
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 14: going to start an Instagram, And even YouTube is starting
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 14: to not be the thing anymore. It's Instagram and TikTok
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 14: and gen Z just wants to influence the culture. There
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 14: is a little bit of a clash there, and I
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 14: think gen Z is wary of that. But one thing
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 14: that I always want to encourage gen Z is if
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 14: you want to influence, if you want to influence culture,
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 14: if you want to be an influencer, then be a
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 14: part of a church. Steward that well, and get to
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 14: the polls and vote that is how you influence the
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 14: next generation.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 3: I mean it's terrific advice. Or are you seeing trends
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 3: you mentioned folks kind of shying away from YouTube a
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 3: little bit. Are there any communication trends that we need
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 3: to be paying attention to right now?
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 14: Not many on the YouTube. I would just say that
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 14: there has been an influx in an interest in Instagram
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 14: and TikTok. Those are the two platforms that a lot
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 14: of that we're seeing that is prioritize.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 14: Even see in the Trump administration they're just now launching
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 14: all of their accounts onto TikTok as well, So there's
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 14: a lot of higher interest when it comes to video
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 14: format on the TikTok side than YouTube.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 3: I can't figure it out, beth I really can't. And
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 3: by the way, we've got Bethany Beller with us from
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 3: national Broadcasters. I don't know if I should wear a
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 3: tie on TikTok or if I should go casual? Should
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 3: I where? I? Should I wear overalls? I don't know
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 3: what to do, Bethany, do it all Todd.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 14: They love it, They love the authenticity. They want you
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 14: to do a day in the life. They want you
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 14: to do what this is what I packed for lunch today,
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 14: and so gen Z is most unse most silliest generation.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 14: But I encourage you, Todd, give it a whirl.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I don't know. I'm nervous now, Bethany,
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 3: you kind of put me on the spot. I you
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 3: know what, I may try to do this. My team
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 3: has been apped, you know, they're all gen Zers and
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 3: they're like, Todd, you gotta loosen up. You gotta do
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 3: something cool and hip. And I'm trying to figure out
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 3: what exactly is cool and hip for Todd Stearns. You
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 3: don't have any.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 14: Answerably, I think I should, though. I think we'd like
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 14: to see you on TikTok, so that'll be cool and
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 14: hipping it of itself, all right.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 3: I'll try. You could have pulled a Fauci and pled
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 3: the fifth on that one, but it's it's all good.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 3: We've got beth Thaty Miller with us, managing editor at
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 3: the conservat Tour. I'm I'm intrigued by this mag I
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 3: love magazines, and I love what y'all are doing over there.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 3: What are what are some of the cultural and political
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 3: conversations you guys are having?
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 14: So we are we were just just recently did a
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 14: piece on the rising Catholicism amongst gen Z and then
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 14: the return to tradition there. We're doing some more pieces
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 14: up in the works talking about mid terms, and you know,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 14: the biggest topic for us is how do we get
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 14: the young women to vote read? I mean, that is
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 14: such a difficult area and that's one that I actually
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 14: don't see much of the conservative movement talk about. Particularly.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 14: We talk about gen Z a lot, but we've got
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 14: a we've got a liberal young female problem, and that
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 14: is kind of what we're narrowing in on and focusing
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 14: how do we bring those women in and sure we
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 14: offer these conservative values we see as red women, we
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 14: see the benefit of it, but how do you encourage
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 14: that to the left? And so that that's kind of
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 14: what we're zeroed in on at the Conservatoire right now.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 3: All right, Bethany, we're gonna have to take a quick
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 3: break here, so we're gonna have to ramp it up.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 3: But again, follow Bethany Bethany Miller Bethany m Miller on
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 3: Instagram and x NRB dot org. Be sure to check
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 3: out the website. All sorts of great content there, Bethany,
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 3: We look forward to getting you back very soon. And
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 3: all right, I'm going to work on the TikTok. So
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 3: the next time you come back on, you're gonna have
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 3: to critique my very first official TikTok.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 14: And I absolutely will I hold you to it. Todd
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 14: all right then.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 3: All right, Bethany Miller, I'm nervous. I wasn't expecting that.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 3: I'm not even sure, Parker, what should I do? You know,
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 3: where's ian Ian's tell Ian the hompin in the studio.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 3: He's been all over the He kind of pulls things
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 3: from the show and puts them on the TikTok. But
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 3: for me to actually sit down and do an actual TikTok, Parker,
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure. I wouldn't even know what to do.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I think you could do.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 6: I like the short form content. You can almost take
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 6: your commentaries and almost make them in a straight tiktoks?
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 3: But is that is that really what people want?
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 10: Though?
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 15: Or?
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, do they want like me and like overalls
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 3: right around in a pickup truck? I would have to
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 3: go buy a pickup truck or do what James Tallerco
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 3: did Low T tall Rico. He rented his authentic pickup truck.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you could. You could get the goofy
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 6: side of Todd Starns in there.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 16: I don't think I don't think the pickup truck is
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 16: saving him at this point. I don't think he's fooling
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 16: anyone with that tall rico. Okay, yeah, god, yeah, no,
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 16: that's good. So I'm just trying to figure out and
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 16: we should probably open up the phone lines to this
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 16: as well.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 3: Guys, what should Todd's very first like cool hip TikTok video.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 6: B That's a good question.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 16: A lot of content, especially short form content, is just
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 16: react to other clips of opinions you disagree with.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 3: Really, yeah, so like, so it wouldn't be like because
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 3: you know a lot of people are cooking, so they
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 3: don't want to see me like cooking showing people how
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 3: to cook something. Or is that more Instagram?
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 16: That is, it's both Instagram and TikTok, But I'm not
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 16: sure if that really fits with the brand unless we're
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 16: opening up the Starns Cooking you know, the new Star
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 16: Starns Cookbook.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 6: I want to see a Todd Starnes day in the life.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 3: A day in the life.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 6: Oh, that could be some great content really, So behind
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 6: the scenes on TV radio, like brushing my teeth or
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 6: sure you didn't. That didn't sound very convincing, not what
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 6: was going through my head. But it could work like.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 3: A day in the life, like going okay, like going
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 3: to the store. Yeah, or all right, I'm we've got
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 3: to We've got we got to take we do have
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 3: to take a break. All right, We're gonna open up
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 3: this up to the to the audience. What would you
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 3: guys like to see like a day in the life.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 3: Would you like to see me cook something or shoot
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 3: something I could do that we got under the gun range.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 3: Well we go to top Golf, Top Golf. Yeah, I like that?
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 3: This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, Welcome back, everybody.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 3: So we're trying to figure out the Todd Sterns TikTok
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 3: account and what my first like non like weird like
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 3: political podcast or what do they call them TikTok cast?
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 3: What do you call them?
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 6: A TikTok tiktoks?
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 3: What my TikTok should be? Uh? All right, let's go
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 3: to David in Gamesville, Georgia. WTU and David, do you
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 3: have a suggestion for me?
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 17: Most people need to use their expertise, So I think
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 17: you should be a judge. You know, in the South
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 17: here we love barbecue and banana fooding and sweet tea.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 17: And I think you're a connoisseur though, so you could
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 17: be a food judge. We have a local actual judge
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 17: here in Gainesville who has started hosting ratings of food
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 17: and the followership has gone up.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 3: Well, that's a great idea. Now let me ask you
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 3: do you speaking of that, do you guys have Milo's
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 3: Sweet Tea there in Gainesville, Georgia. We do, So I
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 3: went to the store. I'm a big Milo's fan, but
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 3: I'm also at home, I'll brew my own tea, and
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 3: I'm i'd usually brew losy In, which is the only
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 3: tea that you should be brewing with is losy In.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 3: But anyway, I didn't realize that Lousy Inn was basically
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 3: in the Milo's business, and so I accidentally grabbed a
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 3: jug of their tea. Not very good, not very good
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 3: at all. So to your point, I could have done.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 3: I could do like a TikTok judging the jugs of
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 3: sweet tea that are available out there.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 17: That's right. You know you can drive in in Spartanburg,
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 17: South Carolina. They used to sell tea around to different places.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 17: They claim to have the best tea, So you know,
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 17: that's another thing you could judge sweet teeth.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 3: I could judge. I love this idea. By the way.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 3: I've been to the Beacon and man, what a great place.
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 3: And they keep the local cardiologist there in Spartanburg in business.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 17: If you've had a chili cheese a plenty, you've probably
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 17: had a visit to the cardiology.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that could have That could have caused my ninety
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 3: percent plockets. The the what did you call it? The
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 3: all of plenty?
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 17: Chili cheese a plenty?
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 6: Is it?
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 17: Hamburger with chili. And then of course you know the
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 17: plenty is for trousing onion.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, yeah, the plenty is a lot. I'll just
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 3: tell you that much, no doubt about that. David, this
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 3: is a great idea. All right, I'm gonna I'm gonna
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 3: write this one down. I like this idea. David thinks
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 3: that I ought to be going around judging things like
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 3: sweet tea, for example, or banana pudding and I'm a
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 3: pretty I think I can be a pretty good judge
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 3: of banana pudding as well. Uh nine oh one two

  Speaker 3: to fall very soon, very soon, I believe you.
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 11: Yeah, we don't get that too much. It's funny. We
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 11: get a lot of humidity out here because we're by
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 11: the ocean, w for us, but it still feels pretty
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 11: nice and we're not having that May Gradejune gloom this year,
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 11: so praise the Lord for that.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad, you know what, Thank you. I'm glad
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 3: to hear this because I'll be coming out there. What
• 1:35:12

• 1:35:15
  Speaker 3: three services at Calvary Champel Chino Hills. So we're looking
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 3: forward to seeing a lot of our great listeners out
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 3: in southern California. Also, we're going to the We're going
• 1:35:26

• 1:35:32
  Speaker 3: a copy of the book. At the church, we're going
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 3: to be doing a signing and you'll hear a message
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 3: from me. It's going to be a lot of fun. Kyle,
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 3: is that anywhere near where you are in southern California.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 11: California is huge. It's eight hundred miles top to bottom,
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 11: so it's a few hours the way, but you know
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 11: what todd for you and a book signing, I would
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 11: happily make that drive through through gorgeous Los Angeles.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh definitely. Well, and then a little bit
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 3: later on we're going to be in the northern part
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 3: of Los Angeles County. Our good friend, doctor Paul Chample,
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 3: a mutual friend of ours, I'll be speaking at the
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 3: Spiritual Leadership Conference. So it's gonna be good to get
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 3: back to southern California. Kyle. I'm actually I actually love California.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 3: It's the people there are amazing. The scenery is just
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 3: off the charts beautiful, and the food and the culture.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 3: It's it's really a great state, and I just I
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 3: really hate to see so many people moving out because
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 3: we've got to We've got to save California.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 11: We sure do, and it's now ur never Todd, Listen,
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 11: this is this is a great state. You said it.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 11: We feed the country, we make the movies, we produce
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 11: the wine. Don't drink that plump Jack nonsense that Gavin
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 11: Newsom and his family are cranking out. Maybe they're not anymore,
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 11: but it is a fabulous state that gets a bad
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 11: rap because of there's so much going wrong here. So
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 11: you're absolutely right. We need fresh blood, we need new leadership.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 11: We're very hopeful our good friend Steve Hilton is going
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 11: to be victorious in November and we get get her
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 11: back on the tracks again, not the not the train
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 11: to nowhere, actual train tracks.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 3: A couple of stories, Kyle, that we've been following and
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 3: I wanted you to weigh in on. First, I want
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 3: us to listen to some audio these two young teenage girls.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 3: They were at a w NBA game and they were
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 3: they were verbally attacked by fans as well as the
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 3: co owner of the Storm, and I want you to
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 3: listen to these young ladies as as they were talking
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 3: about what happened to them. I believe it's got twenty
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 3: seven plays.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 16: She's very respectful.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 12: You're just holding our signs and sharing for both teams.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 12: And this lady, older lady comes up to us and
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 12: she comes to us, and at first I think she's
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 12: gonna be nice, and she.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 11: Asks like, what are you guys doing something?
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and then it was like Jesus lives everyone.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: That's what she told us.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 12: And I was like, oh, I know, like I'm really
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 12: just like I know, like I know yeah, And she's like,
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 12: I hope Jesus can forgive you for saying you've done
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 12: and like something like that. And then she told us
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 12: that we were acting insane and she's.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 14: Like and she went like, yeah, like you have you
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 14: better stop this and stop.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 12: Yeah. And for you guys, yeah, she.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 6: Said for you to come here and pull it.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 3: She said the word yeah.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 12: Did she say epping and saner No, she's yeah, she said, Lord,
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 12: nobody around you spoke up for you.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 11: No, I will say only when I came over you
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 11: were in tears.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I know, been yelled that like that. I mean,
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 12: I've had people hate on me on the internet, but
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 12: like it doesn't really the fact because it's just people online.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 3: This is an insane story. And now we understand the
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 3: co owner of the Seattle Storm. Her name is Celeste Keaton.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 3: She's been fined and suspended from attending the team's next
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 3: five home games.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 12: Uh.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 3: These girls so are big fans of Sophie Cunningham, and
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 3: Sophie Cunningham has been very supportive of getting guys out
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 3: of women's sports. Kyle, what say you.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 11: Well, I'm sure glad that she was and that she
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 11: had some consequence. This is horrifying and this woman sounds
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 11: like what she was saying to these young girls is
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 11: very kind of religious, Karen like of her, and not
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 11: a great representation of the faith of any kind. Really.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 11: But this trend that's happening, especially in the WNBA, Todd
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 11: is so disturbing. We first watched Caitlin Clark, I mean,
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 11: she's just getting absolutely beat up and abused on the
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 11: court and nothing's happening, and Sophie Cunningham comes to her aid, right,
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 11: and she's just absolutely skyrocketed as a star. She's so
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 11: fun to watch. These girls. It's not just their talent,
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 11: they're just it's fun, I think for young girls to
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 11: watch them thrive in an environment that's a challenge for them.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 11: And so I really put a lot at the feet
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 11: of the WNBA as an organization when they are not
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 11: protecting these women. And then again, this is this whole
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 11: conversation about keeping girls' sports for girls only. It's a
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 11: mind blowing why as a culture, as a country, we
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 11: are having a hard time protecting girls and protecting women
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 11: when we are on the heels of this massive wave
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 11: of a feminist movement and you know the future is female,
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 11: but I guess not if you're a white girl trying
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 11: to get into essentially a sport that is dominated by
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 11: men but also dominated by a different race than you.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 11: And so the last thing they need now is to
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 11: have their gender and their biology attack. So I would
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 11: like to see the WNBA step up, give these girls
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 11: some protection and do better for them. But I'm glad
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 11: this team co owner got put in her place. That's
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 11: completely unacceptable.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 3: I want to move on to politics, Kyle, and this
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 3: story caught my attention out of CNN and polls are
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 3: a diamond dozen. I get it, but I'm always intrigued
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 3: by this. They're saying that there's been a massive youth
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 3: revolt against President Trump, sending his polling among younger Americans
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 3: underneath the ocean floor. That's how Harry Inton, who is
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 3: the chief data analyst over at CNN, described it, and
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 3: he's warning of the dramatic collapse in support among younger Americans. Now,
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know if this is accurate or not, but
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 3: what I can tell you, Kyle, is that the young
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 3: Trump supporters we talk to are very upset about this
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 3: war in Iran. They feel like it's, you know, they've
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 3: been betrayed, that the America First movement is not moving
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 3: forward fast enough. I'm wondering what your take is on
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 3: all of this.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 11: Well, I actually really like Harry Inton over a ci
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 11: and he's a blast to watch. He's got great energy
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 11: and he's usually blowing the minds of Democrats when he's
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 11: showing these statistics about how well Donald Trump is doing.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 11: This one was surprising, not in the sense that Donald
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 11: Trump's numbers with younger voters are low, but that they
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 11: were that low. I mean, they really have bottomed out again.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 11: To your point, if those are correct, I do think
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 11: it's to do with this war in Iran, but it's
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 11: also a lot of other promises that have not been
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 11: kept right. The economy is still struggling. Some of that
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 11: has to do with this conflict that that they just
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 11: can't wrap up over in the Middle East, and the
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 11: rise of these Democrats socialists that are promising the moon
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 11: and you're going to get free healthcare, and you're going
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 11: to get free childcare, and your your pay is going
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 11: up and this and that and everything for free. That
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 11: is very attractive, especially to newer voters who have not
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 11: gotten into their career. So I'm actually not surprised by
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 11: by this one. Yeah, oh, Toddy, Yeah, sorry, I couldn't
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 11: hear you there for a second, But yeah, this this
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 11: is not a surprise. But the numbers being so low
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 11: are a shock.
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it is surprising, I'm especially if they're that low.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 3: I would not be surprised if in fact they are low.
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 3: But still it is a troubling thing. And again I
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 3: think the administration needs to pay close attention here because
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 3: we need everybody. I don't think these kids are going
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 3: to be voting Democrat. They may just stay home and
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 3: they may not vote, and I think that would be
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 3: very tragic, especially when it comes to when it comes
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 3: to the midterm elections.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 11: Absolutely. I mean what the other part of that poll
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 11: that Harryton was showing was Democrat enthusiasm for these kids
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 11: coming out and voting. So we'll see. I don't know,
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 11: maybe they are going to stay home, but better than
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 11: voting for those socialist candidates, That's what I.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 3: Say, Kyle. Before we let you go, we have a
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 3: special treat for you. You know, doctor Fauci was just
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 3: up on Capitol Hill testifying yesterday invoking the fifth and
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 3: this is a blast from the past.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 2: This kid.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 3: We think he's what eighteen or nineteen, It's hard to say,
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 3: but anyway, this is a gift from me to you,
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 3: Kyle Campbell, take it away.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 15: Do do do do, doctor Fauci. Give us vaccines, help
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 15: all the people who have been quarantined. We'll wear our
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 15: masks and we'll have to stay distant. We'll wash our
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 15: hands and we'll be more resistent. Fauci, yes, promises, Please,
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 15: We'll have a cure that can fight off this disease.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 15: Restrictions we'll lift with some ease, doctor Fauci. Don't forget me.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, Kyle Parker, you were kind of jamming there. That
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 3: is that your new ringtone, Parker.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 6: Definitely not that all you fall into you like burn something.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 11: You're a great gift giver.
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 3: Todd Starnes, Kyle, from me to you, it was either
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 3: that or an Anthony Vauci action figure.
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 11: So yeah, you pulled a string in the back, and
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 11: he says, I plead the fifth on advice of my interney.
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 3: Oh that's good. Oh, I love that. That's good.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 3: Politically Basic podcast ladies and gentlemen, be sure to follow
• 1:45:24

  Speaker 3: good to hear from.
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 11: You, to be with you.
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 3: All right, well there you go. All right, we've got
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 3: to take a quick break here. We had a couple
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 3: of callers. One leady called Brenda called in and said
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 3: she was I guess in traffic, and you know it's
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 3: it's hard, you know, to multitask in your traffic. But
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 3: what did she recommend? She suggested chicken salad. Oh, she
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 3: was suggesting I could make. I could give my chicken
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 3: salad recipe, which by the way, is a pretty turn
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 3: good recipe actually, but I make actually I make the
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 3: best country fried steak and gravy in America from scratch.
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 6: And maybe that's really good.
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's what I ought to do. I don't know.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 3: It's okay. So we're taking your calls here. We're trying
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 3: to come up with the first Todd Stearns non political TikTok.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 3: What is it that you guys want me to do?
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 3: our number, that's nine oh one two six zero five
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 3: nine two six. We'll be right back. Oh, I'm going
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 3: to give a big shout out here to our friends
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 3: at Pomp's Pop's Comfort Kitchen that's in Bartlett, Tennessee, and
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 3: was over there yesterday and I must have run into
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 3: I guess ten people that listen to the radio show.
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 3: So we're just so honored to uh to know that
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 3: so many folks over at Pop's Comfort Kitchen are listening
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 3: to the program. And they're they're basically a local, family
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 3: owned mom and pop version of Cracker Barrel. So anyway, wonderful,
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 3: wonderful Christian people, and the food is insanely good at
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 3: Pop's Comfort Kitchen there. All right, Oh, this is interesting.
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 3: So I want to go back to I want to
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 3: go back to James Tallerco out of Texas, Low T.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 3: Tall Rico. The guy is suffering from a testosterone deficiency
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 3: and it's it's really tough. I mean, you put him
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 3: on the church prayer list, folks. But anyway, this guy
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 3: uh tallar Rico back several years ago he got a
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 3: an Anthony Fauci doll for Christmas and it was an
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 3: actual gift. It wasn't like one of these like elephant gifts,
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 3: because we actually have that action figure here in the
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 3: building that we gave as an elephant gift as one
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 3: of the worst gifts you could possibly give somebody. But anyway,
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 3: it's the Anthony Fauci doll and Tallerico got it on
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 3: Christmas Day in twenty twenty one, he wrote on social media.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 3: I got the coolest action figure for Christmas. Thank you
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 3: to all the healthcare superheroes working today. Let's help by
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 3: getting faxed and boosted. Oh we've got it. So Parker
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 3: is right. People think, no, there's no way starts as that.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 6: No, it's a real action figure. It's in my hands.
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 3: Does it do anything?
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 6: I really like Kyle's idea of like the string in
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 6: the back that says I plead the fifth.
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 3: I plead the fifth. Yeah that's girl, does it actually?
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, is it just like a is it like
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 3: a cheap action figure? It should? It doesn't do anything?
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 3: Does it say anything?
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 6: It's pretty cheap. You can move its arms. He's wearing
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 6: a really ugly big mask. But that's about it.
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 3: Oh jeezus, they haven't. They're going to come up with
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 3: a tallar Rico doll. The only thing that well, I
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 3: was going to suggest that it bends over, but low T,
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 3: low T man. So anyway, yeah, everybody's giving the guy
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 3: a hard time about this now, and yes you should.
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 3: A grown man should not be excited to get an
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 3: Anthony Fauci doll. But anyway, it turns out that tallar
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 3: Rico also rented the pickup truck. You know, he's been
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 3: having a problem just showing people that he's a man.
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 3: And you know, originally he said that he was vegan
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 3: and then they had you know, that didn't go well
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 3: with the voters in Texas. So you guys, you know,
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 3: nobody's look, even the vegans eat brisket in Texas. All Right,
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 3: It's just it's the way it is. So anyway, tall
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 3: Rico decided he was going to go out and he
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 3: was going to show people I'm a real Texas man.
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 3: I want a pickup truck. And so the guy was
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 3: driving on and pick up and everybody thought, oh wow,
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 3: we were wrong about tallar Rico because he drives a
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 3: pickup truck and now he's eating meat. Well, it turns out,
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 3: according to according to a local journalist, oh no, this
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 3: is from the Economist, that he has now rented a
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 3: pickup truck for his campaign video to appear more Texan.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 3: So now James Tallerico is cosplaying as a Texan. That's
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 3: really kind of embarrassing, right anyway. Dave Weegel is the
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 3: writer and he reported odd detail in the new Tallarico ad.
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 3: He drives a Chevy Colorado. Is a Chevy Colorado? Is
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 3: that the I haven't heard of? That he may have
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 3: mistaken I don't know anyway, Dave Wiggle says odd detail
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 3: a new tall Rico ad. He drives a Chevy Colorado,
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 3: which has appeared in other ads and an profiles, but
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 3: here he's driving a Dodge Ram fifteen hundred and it's
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 3: not hard to spot. You can see the plate which
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 3: is linked to an enterprise rental. Wow. Interesting, that's unfortunate,
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 3: But there you have it. James Telerico, he's just weird,
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 3: and I'm not sure. I'm not sure that people are
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 3: are going to vote for weird. I just I don't
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 3: see that. So anyway, we'll get into more of that.
