• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Dawn's early light what so proudly may we hail thou
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: the twilight that we meet whose broad stripes and bright stars.
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: Through the perilous fight for the.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: As we watch, we're so gallantly streaming. And the rocket's
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the night. Our flag was still there Oh say does
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: free and the home of the brave.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how we are kicking
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: off our 25th anniversary edition of this program, Remembering the
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: Muslim Terrorist Attacks that were waged on this country on
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: September 11, 2001. Hello, everybody. I'm Todd Starnes. Welcome to
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: all of our great affiliate stations down the line. We
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: certainly appreciate you joining us today. The voices you heard,
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: the Brooklyn Youth Choir singing just an incredibly moving rendition
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: of the Star Spangled Banner there in Lower Manhattan at
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: the memorial service. You know, it's interesting, and we're going
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: to be taking your calls today, reflecting back on that day.
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: Do you remember what you were doing when you learned
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: that the attacks were underway? And also, what lessons have
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: we learned, and what lessons do we still need to
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: learn as we go through this 25th anniversary of the attacks?
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: I will tell you, one of the more despicable things
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: that we just saw play out on national television is
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: And it's an emotional time. People lost loved ones, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: they are weeping at the location of where the towers
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: once stood, weeping at the memorial site for family members
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: who have been taken from them. And while all that
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: was happening, Mayor Zoram Mamdami and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were seen
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: laughing and giggling. Now, ladies and gentlemen, over 100,000 people
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: signed a petition telling Mayor Mamdami to stay away from
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: the memorial service today. And I told you on this
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: program the only reason why the mayor wanted to go
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: to Ground Zero was to gloat. And I just can't
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: tell you what a despicable image that was as the
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: camera transitioned for a man who was weeping in tears.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: to all of a sudden see Zoran Mamdami and AOC
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: laughing and giggling like they're at some sort of a party.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: It's just absolutely reprehensible. So look, we're going to get
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: into all of this, but every year that we have
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: commemorated the 9-11 Muslim terrorist attacks, we've been honored to
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: have one of the very first journalists on the scene
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: who reported on the events of that day. She is
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: featured in a number of documentaries. Let's go to the
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Robin Walensky joining us. Robin, 25 years,
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: and you were there to witness it all, and you
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: were the voice on the radio that brought this news
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: to the American people.
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: Todd, it is incredible to me that it has been
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: 25 years. There are moments where it seems like a
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: really long time ago. And then it's moments that I
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: live it every day of my life. I'm sitting in
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: my office, and I'm looking to the left at some
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: pictures of me interviewing a survivor from 9-11. And I
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: look at these pictures every day when I work. You
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: know this. You and I worked together at Fox News Radio.
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: I had those same pictures on my desk to never forget.
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: You and I have known each other the entire 25 years.
• 5:38
  Speaker 8: And.
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: It's kind of like when someone you love dies. It
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: just never goes away. But there are a lot of
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: lessons to be learned. When we say never forget, I've
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: spent the whole week thinking about our interview today. My
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: biggest nugget going forward is is that people like myself
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: who were there, who were eyewitnesses to history, who saw
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: people that I thought at the time was furniture going
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: out the window, you know, plane in, furniture and desks out.
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: You know, your eye can only see so far. The
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: Twin Towers stood tall at 1,000 feet. But it was
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: really people crossing themselves, holding hands, jumping to their deaths
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: because the fire was raging inside. Think about that decision, Todd.
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: You and I as co-workers... deciding whether to jump out
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: the window or burn to death. This is the horror
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: that radical Islam, Al-Qaeda terrorists, who are very much alive
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: and well in this country, because the last administration opened
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: the floodgates and the door to 25 million people who
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: we have no accounting of who they are, and we're
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: fighting an ideology. And this was the scene that they
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: wanted to create complete chaos and havoc and take down
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: the number one symbol in this country that stood for
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: American might. What building can you name in the United
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: States where you potentially could have taken out north of
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: 25,000 people in one hit? You can't name it because
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: it doesn't exist.
• 7:23
  Speaker 10: So.
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: We need to get 9-11 back in the schools, back
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: in the textbooks. It was removed during the Common Core
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: agenda in the last, you know, 15 to 20 years.
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: It was taken out. They call it Patriot's Day. You know,
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: there's all this nonsense. You can't in Virginia today, Todd,
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: there's news that you can't associate and teach 9-11 and
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: talk about radical Islam.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: Well, who caused it? Who's behind it? If you're an
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: alcoholic and you can't sit in a meeting and say, hi,
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: my name is John and I'm an alcoholic, you're never
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: going to get better and cured for your alcoholism. And
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: I maintain, I want to make this point, Todd, I
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: don't know how much time we have, but my overarch
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: of the 25 years looking back, I was also in
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: the 93 World Trade Center bombing. And it was the
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: same crowd of radical Islamic thugs that went to topple
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: the towers in February of 1993 in the snow that Friday.
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: And I sat on that snow and filed my report.
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: And six people were killed when they drove the bomb.
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: into the B2 garage in 93. And I maintain, Todd,
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: you are a political program here. There would be no 9-11.
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: It never would have happened had Bill Clinton and then
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: Attorney General Janet Reno come to New York City and said,
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: this is a terrorist attack on America and we are
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: going to get you and we are going to exterminate you.
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: like that one roach you see in your kitchen, you
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: know that there's 20 hiding behind the cabinet. Bill Clinton
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: and Janet Reno never did that, and it makes me
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: angry because there would be no 9-11, period.
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: Robin, we're going to keep you as long as you
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: have time for this hour of the show because there's
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: a lot to talk about, and I want to go
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: back to that day It's my understanding that you were
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: actually supposed to be covering an event at Wall Street
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: at the New York Stock Exchange when the attack started.
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: You were a reporter at the time for AP Radio.
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: Take us through what happened and when you got to
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: ground zero.
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: I was on a phone call at 8.30, the call
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: with Washington, D.C., And my assignment that day was to
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: do what I did on the 10th, on Monday, the
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: day before, which was to cover the volatile stock market.
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: So they wanted me to go downtown to be there
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: for the ahead of the opening bell. And I lived
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: in Manhattan and I had a car with press plates
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: on it so I could park it, throw it anywhere and,
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: you know, just go about my day and my business.
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: And I was literally walking out the door and my
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: TV set flickered and I was watching ABC. And for
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: those people who know this, ABC used to bang off
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: of the tower, the big tower on the North Tower,
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: Tower One, that big antenna. So who wants to watch
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: a flickering TV set at 8.45 in the morning? And
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: I flipped over to the NBC station, and I remember
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: the anchor, her name is Jane Hanson, she has since retired,
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: and she was saying that the plane was in the
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: World Trade Center. And the camera that NBC had mounted
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: on the Empire State Building facing south, from the TV
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: live shot, that first shot, you could not see the
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: hole because the hole came in from the Jersey side,
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: from the Hudson River. So all you could see was
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: smoke billowing out the building. And I'm on the air,
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: and I could call Washington, and I say to the
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: person who answered the phone, Catherine Lumens, AP Network Radio,
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: and I'm like, I don't even say my name. I
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: just say, do you see this? And she says, yes,
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: go live and get down there. So I did a
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: live shot. And then while I'm on the air doing
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: the live shot, talking about how there's a possible plane
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: in the building, because I don't like to report on
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: things I can't actually see, the second plane hits the
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: South Tower. And I like drop the phone and jump
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: down there. I get down as close as I can
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: to the buildings. Both buildings are on fire. I'm thinking
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: to myself, how in the world Are they going to,
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: you know, put this out? All the facts and figures
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: that I had in my head from the eight years
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: prior from 93, how many people worked in the building,
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: where the governor's office was. Tanner Fitzgerald had the top
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: five floors, windows on the world. You know, all these
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: facts are like racing through my head. And I'm on
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: a pay phone. I convinced like 200 people because all
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: the cell phone service is out by this point. And
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: I convinced 200 people with an AP network radio, red
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: and white mic flag, hey, I got to get on
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: the air. And can I borrow this pay phone? And
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: I'm literally standing in a pay phone with the three sides.
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: So you like can't see anything, right? You're just facing
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: the pay phone. And suddenly I hear people screaming, oh
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: my God, oh my God, oh my God. I'm thinking,
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: oh my God, what's worse than, you know, two buildings
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: on fire, right? With planes in them. And I peer
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: around the payphone, Todd, and the South Tower is collapsing
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: in slow motion.
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: Robin, I want to put a pause there for just
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: a moment. We've got to take a break. When we
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: come back, I want you to continue the story. And also,
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: we're going to play some audio. And I also want
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: to get your reaction to what Zohra Mamdami did earlier
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: today as well. Ladies and gentlemen, we're honored to have
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: my dear friend, longtime journalism colleague at Fox News, Robin Walensky,
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: joining us. She was an AP radio reporter in New
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: York that morning. If you have watched the 2021 documentary
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: 9-11 inside the president's war room, one of the very
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: first scenes is AP reporter Rita Foley interviewing Robin live
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: on the ground, and it's a riveting, riveting conversation. We're
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: going to take a break.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: 901-260-5926.
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: At this very hour, a quarter century ago, Islamic terrorists
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: murdered 184 Americans right here at the Pentagon. Their co-conspirators
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: had already crashed two planes into two towers in New York.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: More conspirators murdered innocent Americans aboard an airplane. It crashed
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: in Shanksville. But on that flight, Flight 93, Americans fought.
• 14:08
  Speaker 11: Back, saving this very capital.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: The first American counterattack of the war. All told, Islamist
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: terrorists murdered nearly 3,000 of our fellow Americans that day
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: 25 years ago. It's hard to even imagine. These dastardly
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: and cowardly attacks changed America. in ways that even the
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: sound of those planes on this day stirs your soul.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: But it changed America not as the cowards had hoped.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: You see, their attacks inspired millions to step forward instead
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: and say, send me.
• 14:51
  Speaker 12: In the book of Isaiah, Isaiah said, here.
• 14:53
  Speaker 11: I am, Lord, send me.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: And in the days that weeks that followed, millions of
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Americans said, here we are, send us. And so we
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: fought foreign wars, a generation of sacrifice, of valor, selfless
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: and steadfast. Even if imperfect, those conflicts were our retribution.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: And today on this site, we honor the 184 murdered
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: at the Pentagon. Warriors and civilians, officers and enlisted moms
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: and dads, brothers and sisters, whose faces we saw, whose
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: names were read. A flag for each surrounds this venue.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: We honor the survivors. We honor the first responders who
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: ran toward the flames, heroic firefighters, police officers, and EMTs
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: pulling out the wounded and the fallen out of the
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: rubble and the toxic smoke. Warriors and civilians alike, they
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: stared death in the eye and they did not blink.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: September 11th, 2001 was one of the darkest days in
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: American history, but evil did not get the last word.
• 16:11
  Speaker 12: It never has.
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: And it never will.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: 25 years later, America is stronger than ever before, tall
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: and proud.
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: All right, War Secretary Pete Hegseth this morning at the
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: Pentagon service where President Trump was in attendance, and I
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: want to bring back in my dear friend for many,
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: many years, Robin Walensky, who was there, one of the
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: very first reporters to broadcast what was happening in lower Manhattan.
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: and Robin has agreed to stay on with us for
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: the full hour of this portion of the show. Robin,
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: real quick here, I appreciate Hegseth pointing out, we are
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: dealing with Islamic terrorism here, something that even George W.
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: Bush goes out of his way not to say.
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's sickening, and it's a lie, and we need
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: to be telling the truth, because the more we cover
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: it up and the more we sweep it under the carpet,
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: the cancer is going to spread. And that's where we
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: are right now. We have this huge rise of radical Islam.
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: And I will tell you, you know, having been there
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: that day 25 years ago and having visited all the memorials,
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: which we can talk about after your hard break, you know,
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: which is coming up here, I will say that if
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: we don't teach the truth about who caused this and why,
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: and how they got away with it, it's definitely going
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: to happen again. We are not fighting an army. We're
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: fighting an ideology. And everywhere you look, the Muslim families,
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: they're having, you know, 8 to 11 kids each. I mean,
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: you've got to look around and connect the dots for yourself.
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: I know you talk about this a lot on your program,
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: so your audience is really in the know about But
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: for people on the left who only watch CNN and
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: MSNBC and ABC News, they don't know what's going on.
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: They've never seen the video of the 24-7-365 over the
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: last four years prior to Trump of the illegals coming in.
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: Robin, hang tight. The heartbreak is upon us. I love
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: it when we have radio people as guests. Robin, don't
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: go anywhere. Folks, 901-260-5926. Your memories of 9-11. That's 901-260-5926.
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, welcome back, everybody.
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Great to have
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: you with us. Coming up a little bit later, Wendy
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: Patrick is going to be here and Joe Messina out
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: in California, Santa Clarita. Caleb Park, journalist and host of
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: The Good Report with Caleb Park, will be here in
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: just a little while. But right now, we're honored to
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: have my dear friend, a great journalist, Robin Walensky. She
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: was there on 9-11 as the events were unfolding there. And,
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: you know, Robin, you mentioned something earlier about schools and
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: Fairfax County, Virginia, putting out a notice, a memorandum to
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: every teacher telling them what they can and cannot talk
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: about today. And one of the things they told teachers,
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: you are not allowed to talk about Islam or Muslims today. Meanwhile,
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: in the suburbs of Memphis, Bartlett High School, they posted
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: a bizarre 9-11 post yesterday saying, saying that instead of
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: commemorating 9-11, it would be a celebration of the 4th
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: of July, Independence Day. which is just insane. The school
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: district has now removed the post after parents complained. But
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: to your point, Robin, they're not teaching kids what really
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: happened on 9-11.
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: No, they're not. I mean, liberalism is a disease as
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: far as I'm concerned. It's a mental illness. where these
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: people cannot get their mind around the truth, that the
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: truth is either too painful for them. And let me
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: tell you, besides the school systems, Todd, the mainstream media
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: is a big culprit in this big lie. We had
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: it right 25 years ago. I wrote a charity book
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: called Covering Catastrophe, Broadcast Journalists Report 9-11-01. All the money
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: went to charity. You can get it on Amazon. And
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: we did interview all the reporters in the field, but
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: also news managers who were making split-second decisions when the
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: TV tape, what's known as the raw video, unedited, was
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: coming into newsrooms in New York and being sent out
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: to the country. And they had to make split-second decisions.
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: Do you show people going out the window, yes or no?
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: And the decision and the moment was the correct one. Yes,
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: show the video. This is what is happening. This is
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: what these radical Islamists, this is what jihad looks like.
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: And the decision was right back then. But where have
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: you seen that video in 25 years? Maybe you see
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: it once a year or on a History Channel documentary
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: if you're looking for it. And the truth about that
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: is how we got into situations like October 7th in
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: Israel with Hamas. This is the same cast of characters
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: of these thugs, radical Islamic thugs committing jihad. And if
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: you don't call it out, it comes back to bite you.
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: And that's why, as I said in the first segment,
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: if we would have taken care of this huge Herculean
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: problem when they tried to blow up and topple the
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: towers back in 1993, February, we would never have had
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: a 9-11. And what concerns me the most, Todd, is
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: that we, in my mind, are still sitting ducks. Has
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: this administration, the second Trump administration, done a better job?
• 22:22
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: We've closed the borders and walls work. Ask Israel about it.
• 22:28
  Speaker 13: Walls do work.
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: And vetting does work. And you can't have people who
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: we have no idea where they came from and what
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: they're up to and what their intentions are running around.
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: And that's the thing. People ask me about my voting record.
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: My voting record, my top 10 things that I care
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: about when I go to push the lever is homeland security.
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: I don't care about any other issue. I am a
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: singular voter. Whoever is going to protect the country and
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: keep nefarious actors out of here is who I vote for.
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm with you on that. And again, we have
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: got to, and I appreciate that they've closed the border.
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: We've got to start ramping up these deportations. and especially
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: when it comes to the Islamic radicals. You know, I
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: don't know how many times over the years I've had
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: members of Congress on the show, Robin, and they say
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: it's not a matter of if but when the attacks
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: will happen on American soil because of these sleeper cells. Well,
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: my contention is if we know where the sleeper cells are,
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: let's go and get them and get them the heck
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: out of America.
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely. You know, one of the places that, you know,
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: you and I both have, you know, friends, we're not
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: going to name names, who work in this line of work,
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: and the terrorist chatter is always about planes and airports.
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: And our airports, I've said this on the air on
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: a couple of other shows today in the last couple
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: of days, our airports have been turned into.
• 24:03
  Speaker 14: You know, the Mall of America.
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: Where you walk in and get your coffee and your
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: T-shirt and this, that, and the other. And the Israelis
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: have been telling us literally since the 1970s, check yourself
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: at the curb and lock down the actual physical part
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: of the airport. And we haven't done it. And I
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: think that we're sitting ducks. And I'm very nervous when
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: my Uber drops me off at the door and I
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: walk in until I'm past the gate. I have complete
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: anxiety because I realize that we're literally sitting ducks in there.
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: I think that that's a target. Small airports as well,
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: not just the big ones, not just New York and
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: Atlanta and L.A., but I'm talking about also the smaller
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: airports can do a lot of damage. Speaking of planes,
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: The one place I encourage your listeners to go, besides
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: the memorial at the Pentagon, besides 9-11 and the museum
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: and the reflecting pools in New York, if you ever
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: get the chance, go to Shanksville. You walk away and
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: you learn one thing, that the people on that plane
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: looked out to the left and the right and knew,
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: they knew they were going to die, and they put
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: down that plane and stormed the cockpit, in a place
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: where there is literally nothing but fields. I have visited
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: it twice. I was there on the nine-year anniversary with
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: Laura Bush and former First Lady Michelle Obama. There was
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: only a Liberty Bell there. There was no museum. I
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: was there on the 20-year anniversary five years ago, it
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: seems like yesterday. There is an incredible moving museum and
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: monument there. And you hear the tape, the audio tape.
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: It's not a myth. It's not a legend. You hear
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: Todd Beamer say, let's roll. Let's roll. And those 40 people,
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: let me say this, those 40 people did the American thing.
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: They voted. Strangers voting. They took a vote. You talk
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: about exercising your rights as an American citizen. They knew
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: that they were going to die and that plane was
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: heading to Washington, D.C., to take off the lid of
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: the Capitol, and they voted to storm the cockpit, and
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: that plane went upside down 500 miles an hour into
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: the earth. When you say ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: that is the Shanksville site. It takes your breath away.
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: That is the most untold story of 9-11 are the
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: 40 heroes that saved people on the ground. On the
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: other side of that land is an elementary school. That
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: plane was headed to D.C. to take the lid off
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: the Capitol. It would have been absolutely horrendous.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: Robin, let me jump in here because I want to
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: circle back to that in just a moment, but I
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: think we've also got to remember that, unfortunately, many of
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: our elected leaders at the time facilitated and have facilitated
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: what I think is an Islamic, an intentional Islamic invasion
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: of our country. Here is President Bush just a few days, well,
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: just a couple of days ago. He was sitting down
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: for his 25-year reflections, and this is what was really
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: concerning to President Bush at the time. Cut 52.
• 27:39
  Speaker 15: I want you to talk about a couple of those events.
• 27:42
  Speaker 15: You talked about going to the Islamic Center and trying
• 27:46
  Speaker 15: to make sure that our Muslim American citizens knew that
• 27:51
  Speaker 15: we didn't blame them for what had happened.
• 27:54
  Speaker 16: I also made it clear that Islam was a religion
• 27:56
  Speaker 16: of peace, not a religion of war, and that these
• 27:59
  Speaker 16: people subverted their religion.
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: Well, I would say that the Islamists would disagree with
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: President Bush on that. Robin, there's one more piece of
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: news that, again, they now say is make-believe that this
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: never happened. But take a listen to Cut 49.
• 28:16
  Speaker 17: We're going to show you from the West Bank. These
• 28:20
  Speaker 17: are Palestinian celebrations in the wake of Tuesday's terror attacks
• 28:25
  Speaker 17: in the United States. Apparently, Palestinians took to the street chanting,
• 28:29
  Speaker 17: God is great. People were throwing candy, distributing candy to passers-by.
• 28:36
  Speaker 12: The U.S.
• 28:37
  Speaker 17: Government obviously has become increasingly unpopular, particularly in the West
• 28:42
  Speaker 17: Bank and Gaza Strip, because Palestinians feel that the U.S.
• 28:46
  Speaker 12: Government has sided with Israel.
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: Okay, enough of that. Robin, it did happen. People were cheering.
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: The Islamists were cheering all around the world. And again,
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: when you look at the situation with Mamdami, the families
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: did not want him there, not because he was a Muslim.
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: but because he associated himself with people who believe that
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: America deserved 9-11.
• 29:07
  Speaker 13: It's insane.
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: And George Bush, by the way, I was there at
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: the 20th. It was Kamala Harris and George Bush, the son,
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: who headlined the Shanksville event, commemorations. And he was a
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: Muslim apologist there, too. I mean, again, we're not talking
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: about all Muslims. We're talking about radical Islamic terrorists who
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: practice jihad. This is very different. You know, it's not
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: all white, not all black, not all Chinese, not... you know,
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: we can't paint everyone with one stroke of a brush,
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: but we are talking about people who are aligning themselves.
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: Look at this candidate, Al-Sayed in Michigan, who's running for Senate.
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: That guy associating with Hassan Taiker, who is an anti-Semite,
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: the Holocaust didn't exist, or all the Jews deserve to die,
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: all the Americans deserve to die, and it goes on
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: and on, and you have young people who know nothing
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: because they've never read about this in a textbook, and
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: to my point, they don't see the video on TV
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: even today. Have you seen it on TV today? On
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: any of the stations I've been looking, CNN, Fox, Let's
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: see what else. MSNBC. I haven't seen any of the
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: raw video from that day other than people running. I
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: haven't seen people waving, you know, handkerchiefs or anything from
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: the window begging for help as the fuel is on fire.
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: We're burying the truth, Todd.
• 30:46
  Speaker 11: We're buried.
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: We've buried the people and we've buried the truth with them.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: Hmm.
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: Robin, I've got about 60 seconds here. Final thoughts as
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: we go through this 25th anniversary day, looking towards the future,
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: where we have the rise of political Islam in this country.
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: Many cities and towns, you hear the Muslim calls to prayer.
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: Our country is changing very, very rapidly.
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: And people, there's a percentage of people that understand it very,
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: very well, including the president, our current president, all the
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: people who showed up in Dallas, Texas for the GOP
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: midterm convention the last few days. I was kind of
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: inspired by watching that because those people are getting it.
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: But everybody needs to find a friend who's not educated
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: and educate them very quickly because we're going to be
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: taken over. I think about all of the people that
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: are still suffering today from the cancer, people who are
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: so sick that I know personally, journalists and photographers, Todd,
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: that you and I know personally that are no longer
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: with us because of the toxins of 9-11. My thoughts
• 31:59
  Speaker 7: today are with those people.
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: Robin Walensky, a great American patriot. Our audience loves you,
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: and we just appreciate the great work you did on
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: that day 25 years ago. and the great work you
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: continue to do now. Thank you for joining us today, Robin.
• 32:17
  Speaker 14: God bless you, Todd.
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: Great lady right there, and she is a ferocious warrior,
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: and we love Robin here on this program. I would
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: encourage you to go and check out her book on Amazon,
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: and again, the proceeds go to charities, but it's a
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: collection of journalists and their reflections of what happened on
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: that day covering catastrophe. on that horrible, horrible day in
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: New York City. All right, we're going to take a break,
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: and when we come back, we're going to open up
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: the phone lines to you. 901-260-5926. You heard what Robin said.
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: Do you share her concerns that we are on the
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: verge of being taken over as a country?
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: 901-260-5926.
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: This is the Todd Stern Show. You know, I was
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: just thinking, Dylan, most of our crew, most of our
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: team was not even born or were barely born by
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: 9-11 when that happened.
• 33:28
  Speaker 18: Yeah, both people in here except for, you know, just me.
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: I'm the only one. Me and you, Todd.
• 33:34
  Speaker 19: Wow.
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: We're the old fogies. I guess so. I do feel
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: old now. I think about Josh Jones. He was like
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: one year old. When the attacks happened. What about Ben Dieter?
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: Ben Dieter, what, two years old?
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Two years old, yeah.
• 33:46
  Speaker 20: Two years.
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: I was two years old, too. Little Dieter.
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: You know, it's interesting. People don't realize exactly how many
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: folks were in the World Trade Center towers on September 11th.
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: They estimate about 17,400 people were in the buildings. Which
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: is fascinating because 87% of those people were able to
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: escape out of the buildings once the airplanes hit. I mean,
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: that's just really remarkable. So we're talking about 7,500 survivors
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: in Tower 1 and 7,900 survivors in Tower 2. So
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: all total, they believe about 15,400 people escaped from the buildings.
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: That story You don't hear much about that part of it,
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: but really the work of the first responders getting there
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: and getting those people out of the buildings. I hope
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: when you drive by a fire station today or maybe
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: you see first responders, you will just say thank you
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: for the work they do, putting their lives on the line.
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: And for me, one of the more striking images was
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: of a– it was taken on one of the stairwells.
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: And maybe you've seen this. It's a black and white photo.
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: And there's an image of all these people coming down.
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: They're evacuating while the firefighters are coming up. And this
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: young firefighter, he maybe was maybe 23, 24 years old.
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: And he looks, he just stares in the direction of
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: the camera. And it's this It's not fear, but it's
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: a realization that this may not end well, and we
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: understand that individual lost his life on that day, that firefighter. Again,
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: they went knowing that they may not come out of
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: those buildings, and that's really what today is about, remembering
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: the sacrifice, remembering that many, many people, and we talked
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: to one in the Memphis area who called into our
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: local radio station this morning, to talk about how what
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: happened on that day led him to join the military.
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: And a lot of young men now in their 30s
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: and 40s, literally the next day, they were in college,
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: they were in high school, they went and they signed
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: up for the military. It was very reminiscent of what
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: happened once word came out that the Japanese had bombed
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: Pearl Harbor. It was that sort of spirit in America.
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: Let me tell you something. The policies of George W. Bush,
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: who I believe to be a good man but was
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: not a good president because his policies of bowing down
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: and really worshiping the Islamist led to a full-blown invasion
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: of this country where now you have majority Muslim populations
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: and You've got the call to prayer going out in
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: major cities across the country, and that is only going
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: to continue. And now we're waiting what? It's a matter
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: of if but when. That's what Congress tells us. All right.
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: Hang tight, everybody. Hour two of the big show coming up.
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: From Memphis, Tennessee. On the banks of the mighty Mississippi.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: It's America's conservative blowtorch.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: That's us, that's right. I love this American ride.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Todd Starnes.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Allahu Akbar!
• 37:39
  Speaker 15: Allahu Akbar!
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: Allahu Akbar!
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Allahu Akbar!
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: All right, that is what's happening right now outside of
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: City Hall in New York City, where apparently protests are
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: erupting and this Muslim guy chanting over and over again,
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: Allahu Akbar, which is, by the way, exactly what the
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: terrorists chanted when they flew the jetliners into the buildings. Now,
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: we have this video over at ToddStearns.com. I'd encourage you
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: to go and check this out. Just an unbelievable scene
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: right now right outside of City Hall in New York City.
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: If you're not familiar with that area of lower Manhattan,
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: you're just a block or two away from where the
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: Twin Towers once stood. So a very, very unsettling situation
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: in New York City as this Muslim dude is out
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: there chanting Allah Akbar. Well, I want to go right
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: away to our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line and say hello
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: to our good friend. She is a Newsmax columnist, great attorney,
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: Wendy Patrick. Wendy, hope you're doing well today.
• 38:45
  Speaker 21: Thank you so much, Todd. Really watching all the coverage,
• 38:48
  Speaker 21: just like you and our viewers.
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: I'm just curious, Wendy, as you do look back and
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: reflect over those 25 years, there is still a lot
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: of anger and frustration that, for example, Saudi Arabia has
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: not been forced to pay up. I know that became
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: an issue during one of the memorial speeches earlier today.
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: But people are really frustrated, and especially with the rise
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: of political Islam in the country.
• 39:18
  Speaker 21: Yeah, you know, people are talking about 9-11 from so
• 39:20
  Speaker 21: many different viewpoints. You know, sometimes the most endearing episodes
• 39:25
  Speaker 21: of sharing that we're engaging in with our friends and
• 39:27
  Speaker 21: our loved ones are the personal last And then when
• 39:31
  Speaker 21: we are done talking about the personal aspects and reliving
• 39:34
  Speaker 21: some of those days, especially ones that lived in lower
• 39:38
  Speaker 21: Manhattan or had friends and family that were impacted, one
• 39:42
  Speaker 21: thing I've been involved in recently from a legal perspective
• 39:45
  Speaker 21: in my day job, one of the hats that I
• 39:47
  Speaker 21: wear is the fund that's being reset up based on
• 39:50
  Speaker 21: the finding of all the documents regarding 9-11 health risks
• 39:54
  Speaker 21: that we're just now finding out about. And this year
• 39:57
  Speaker 21: is a little bit different in that it marks a
• 39:59
  Speaker 21: seventh moment of silence, Todd, which is a specific observance,
• 40:03
  Speaker 21: as you know, that is introduced to basically honor those people.
• 40:07
  Speaker 21: Whether they were returning too early to the scene of
• 40:12
  Speaker 21: the terrorist attack because they lived there, whether they were volunteering,
• 40:15
  Speaker 21: whether they were first responders, You know, once the dust settled,
• 40:18
  Speaker 21: the diagnoses began, but they never stopped. And it is
• 40:21
  Speaker 21: true that you have several times the amount of people
• 40:24
  Speaker 21: now that have died from 9-11-related illnesses that died on
• 40:27
  Speaker 21: the day of. And we're talking about that today as well.
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, we're talking, there are some numbers, what,
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: around 9,000 people have died, and they were the ones
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: who were actually enrolled in this World Trade Center health program.
• 40:44
  Speaker 6: and a number of those, sadly, first responders and specifically
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: members of the fire department there in New York City.
• 40:53
  Speaker 21: The deadline is today if somebody that's in that category,
• 40:56
  Speaker 21: a volunteer or a first responder, hasn't yet registered. And
• 41:00
  Speaker 21: that doesn't mean you need to be seen by a
• 41:01
  Speaker 21: doctor and diagnosed today, but at least register. The fund,
• 41:04
  Speaker 21: of course, runs for many years, but it's that first
• 41:07
  Speaker 21: registration date that's important. One of the reasons I wish
• 41:10
  Speaker 21: that Mayor Mondami had announced the finding of those now
• 41:13
  Speaker 21: infamous 68 boxes a little earlier to get people in
• 41:17
  Speaker 21: line to decide what they're going to do about it.
• 41:19
  Speaker 21: But I understand there is an online portal which will
• 41:22
  Speaker 21: continue to be added to. So as we remember the
• 41:27
  Speaker 21: solemn day, it's also an opportunity if somebody is not
• 41:31
  Speaker 21: yet enrolled to get that done if you fall into
• 41:33
  Speaker 21: that category. Because you're right, Todd, it is also about
• 41:37
  Speaker 21: so many people lost so much, not just the loss
• 41:39
  Speaker 21: of life, but livelihood, health, wealth, and we can think
• 41:43
  Speaker 21: of so many other things as we all sort of
• 41:45
  Speaker 21: relive today together, those of us that were here and
• 41:48
  Speaker 21: remember it.
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: Wendy, I want to move on to the Republicans. Of course,
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: we're in the throes of a big campaign, midterm elections coming,
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: and of course, the last two days in Dallas. which
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: I thought were really phenomenal. I think the crowds were energetic.
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: The speeches were spot on. The reality is not many
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: people were watching. The numbers show that even Fox News
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: did not experience a large bump, and that tells me
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: that this may be as great as it was. This
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: may be a lost opportunity because of all the other
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: things that were happening. Charlie Kirk's anniversary was 9-11, and
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: of course, NFL football games.
• 42:34
  Speaker 12: Todd, spot on as always.
• 42:37
  Speaker 21: I could not agree more on all of those points.
• 42:40
  Speaker 21: Here's another thing I thought as I tried to catch
• 42:42
  Speaker 21: the highlights.
• 42:44
  Speaker 12: We work.
• 42:45
  Speaker 21: The kinds of people that turn out and vote Republican work.
• 42:49
  Speaker 21: I understand Democrats work also. But you talk about the
• 42:53
  Speaker 21: type of enthusiasm that you saw at the conference. I
• 42:55
  Speaker 21: hope at the very least people watched the highlights, no
• 42:58
  Speaker 21: matter what station they were watching, because it was all
• 43:01
  Speaker 21: about energy and enthusiasm. The question and the challenge is,
• 43:05
  Speaker 21: can we translate momentum into math? But I thought that
• 43:09
  Speaker 21: the president speaking on both days, I know I watched
• 43:11
  Speaker 21: the two-hour speech the first night. It was a little
• 43:14
  Speaker 21: more succinct the second night. But it was exciting and
• 43:18
  Speaker 21: it was enthusiastic. And we have to remember what he
• 43:20
  Speaker 21: kept saying is he is on the ballot. Now, I
• 43:23
  Speaker 21: don't know whether we're going to get those $ 5, 000 checks. Maybe, Todd,
• 43:26
  Speaker 21: you can let me know if you get yours in
• 43:28
  Speaker 21: the mail. Then maybe the rest of us have a chance.
• 43:30
  Speaker 21: But it really was something to behold. And I think
• 43:33
  Speaker 21: anytime you do something as a first, which this was,
• 43:36
  Speaker 21: it has to have a positive impact in rejuvenating voters.
• 43:40
  Speaker 21: to go out and vote in what is just coming
• 43:42
  Speaker 21: up so quickly. Less than two months, I know that
• 43:45
  Speaker 21: mail-in ballots are already going out. And I know even
• 43:47
  Speaker 21: the president votes mail-in. So whether there are restrictions or not,
• 43:51
  Speaker 21: let's please make sure we get out there and vote.
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: I want to play some audio. I thought J.D. Vance
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: really just did a terrific job last night. Here he
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: is on James Tallarico. Let's take a listen to Cut 41, please.
• 44:05
  Speaker 10: And in Texas, you have Democrats, grown men, who seem
• 44:09
  Speaker 10: to be pretty obsessed with trans children. I gotta say,
• 44:19
  Speaker 10: the president's very good at nicknames, but Talafrico, maybe.
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: Tops the list.
• 44:31
  Speaker 12: But.
• 44:32
  Speaker 10: This Tallarico guy, he will not shut up about how
• 44:35
  Speaker 10: there are six genders. He will not shut up about how.
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: Quote, God is non-binary.
• 44:40
  Speaker 10: I don't know what the hell that even means, my friends.
• 44:44
  Speaker 10: He won't shut up about having traditional Christian values makes
• 44:47
  Speaker 10: you a bigot. And I got to say, a guy
• 44:50
  Speaker 10: that age who is so obsessed and focused on transgender children,
• 44:55
  Speaker 10: I don't know about you, but I never want to
• 44:57
  Speaker 10: see that guy's web browser history.
• 45:03
  Speaker 6: It's not a good place. We'd rather be here. Oh
• 45:07
  Speaker 6: my word, Wendy. Look, I think he's doing a great
• 45:12
  Speaker 6: job of illustrating the bizarre weirdness of the Democrats and
• 45:17
  Speaker 6: their candidates.
• 45:20
  Speaker 12: You know, it's true.
• 45:21
  Speaker 21: You know, my PhD is in theology and the God
• 45:23
  Speaker 21: of the Bible is a he.
• 45:25
  Speaker 12: There's no six genders. He's not non-binary.
• 45:28
  Speaker 21: But regarding the statements that the vice president was making
• 45:31
  Speaker 21: about other candidates, You know, President Trump pulls that off
• 45:35
  Speaker 21: a lot differently and perhaps better. I hate to say
• 45:39
  Speaker 21: that because I don't like to hear anybody calling anybody
• 45:41
  Speaker 21: a name. But it's hard to hear it from J.D.
• 45:44
  Speaker 21: Vance because that's not his shtick. He's normally not in
• 45:47
  Speaker 21: the business of name calling or talking about other candidates.
• 45:51
  Speaker 21: And one of the I do understand we are in
• 45:52
  Speaker 21: Texas and we have to talk about that race. But
• 45:55
  Speaker 21: in terms of midterm turnout, I think a lot of
• 45:57
  Speaker 21: voters paid more attention and placed more value on the
• 46:01
  Speaker 21: things the vice president said that were more consistent with
• 46:04
  Speaker 21: his vision for America under Republican leadership all across the board,
• 46:09
  Speaker 21: because it may be a closer race in other states. Remember,
• 46:12
  Speaker 21: the president in his speech, one of the things he
• 46:14
  Speaker 21: highlighted is that he intends to go to every one
• 46:17
  Speaker 21: of those contested districts. Remember, he added maybe more than once.
• 46:21
  Speaker 21: That seems to be a better focus. But I have
• 46:23
  Speaker 21: to say, J.D. Vance is a very calming presence. He's
• 46:27
  Speaker 21: very nice. I really just hope that people in Texas
• 46:30
  Speaker 21: do pay attention to the difference between the candidates.
• 46:33
  Speaker 6: You see, I was paying attention to how much time
• 46:37
  Speaker 6: they were focused on Tallarico. That tells me that whatever
• 46:40
  Speaker 6: polling they're looking at does have Kim Paxton in a
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: bit of trouble. And there are a lot of published
• 46:46
  Speaker 6: polls out there that have Kim Paxton trailing. but the
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: emphasis on Tallarico tells me that they've got a challenge
• 46:54
  Speaker 6: there in Texas, which could be a problem, especially when
• 46:59
  Speaker 6: you've got the Democrat candidate surging in Iowa. We could
• 47:04
  Speaker 6: be watching the Republican majority in the Senate be whittled
• 47:08
  Speaker 6: down just a bit, and God forbid they could end
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: up in the minority.
• 47:13
  Speaker 21: It's true, and it's not just in Texas. I've been
• 47:15
  Speaker 21: watching those same polls that you have in Texas, and
• 47:18
  Speaker 21: You know, part of the problem, what we're reading is
• 47:21
  Speaker 21: that you don't have a squeaky clean candidate on either
• 47:24
  Speaker 21: side in some of these races. Wouldn't it be great, Todd,
• 47:28
  Speaker 21: if people that ran for office just absolutely had nothing
• 47:30
  Speaker 21: in their background that was even controversial, much less even
• 47:33
  Speaker 21: semi scandalous. But so many candidates have done a lot
• 47:37
  Speaker 21: of things in their past. I'll tell you what one
• 47:38
  Speaker 21: of Tallarico's problems is, is he's not very good. in
• 47:42
  Speaker 21: rehabilitating himself as we say in the courtroom when you're
• 47:44
  Speaker 21: impeaching a witness based on something he or she said
• 47:46
  Speaker 21: in the past they have to do a good job
• 47:48
  Speaker 21: of explaining why they said it and why their their
• 47:51
  Speaker 21: views are different today well talarico has tried to do
• 47:54
  Speaker 21: that and i've watched all the footage because as you
• 47:57
  Speaker 21: can imagine um some of the things he said deeply
• 47:59
  Speaker 21: concern me i'm not sure whether he's distanced himself sufficiently
• 48:03
  Speaker 21: from his past statements So I've been watching with great interest.
• 48:06
  Speaker 21: Why hasn't that resulted in more of a margin? I
• 48:09
  Speaker 21: don't know whether the Texas voters don't know enough about
• 48:12
  Speaker 21: both candidates, whether they're watching maybe different polls, but I
• 48:16
  Speaker 21: do agree it was worthy of mention by everybody on
• 48:19
  Speaker 21: that stage, specifically because that's where they held this convention.
• 48:23
  Speaker 6: All right, Wendy Patrick, we're going to leave it there.
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: Always good to hear from you. Wendy, thank you for
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: joining us this afternoon.
• 48:30
  Speaker 8: Thank you, Todd.
• 48:31
  Speaker 6: The great Wendy Patrick. Be sure to follow her, Wendy
• 48:34
  Speaker 6: Lynn Patrick, on Facebook and Wendy Lynn Patrick on Instagram. And,
• 48:39
  Speaker 6: of course, you can always read her work over at Newsmax. Oh,
• 48:42
  Speaker 6: I've got to play this audio.
• 48:43
  Speaker 14: This is J.D.
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: Vance, mic-dropping some moron who started waving a Mexican flag
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: last night. Cut 42.
• 48:52
  Speaker 10: What the people at home missed is that we just
• 48:55
  Speaker 10: had a protester interrupting us and waving the Mexican flag.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: Well....
• 49:04
  Speaker 6: Well, my friend, if you love.
• 49:06
  Speaker 10: Mexico so much, get your ass over there.
• 49:08
  Speaker 6: I'll buy you the plane ticket.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 49:12
  Speaker 6: A little spicy, J.D. Banks. They started chanting USA. Well done.
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: All right, we've got to take a break. When we
• 49:23
  Speaker 6: come back, Charles in North Carolina, Arnaz in Memphis, 901-260-5926,
• 49:27
  Speaker 6: our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show.
• 49:41
  Speaker 6: All right, welcome back. Let's get right to the phones.
• 49:44
  Speaker 6: By the way, it is Open Line Friday. On top
• 49:46
  Speaker 6: of all the other big stories we're covering today, 901-260-5926.
• 49:52
  Speaker 6: Whatever you would like to talk about, we'll talk about today. 901-260-5926.
• 49:58
  Speaker 6: Let's go to North Carolina, WSIC, our terrific affiliate there, Charles.
• 50:04
  Speaker 6: What's on your mind?
• 50:06
  Speaker 9: Hey, Todd.
• 50:07
  Speaker 11: Happy Friday to you. Todd, I don't know if you
• 50:10
  Speaker 11: saw it this morning, but I was watching the service
• 50:13
  Speaker 11: in New York City. And they were reading the names
• 50:18
  Speaker 11: of the victims, you know, that had fallen that day.
• 50:22
  Speaker 11: And while they were doing that, it was on TV.
• 50:28
  Speaker 11: It showed Zoran Mandami and AOC laughing is those names
• 50:33
  Speaker 11: for being red. They're laughing and they're talking to each other.
• 50:36
  Speaker 11: It's such disrespect to the families. And the families are
• 50:39
  Speaker 11: sitting there crying as the names are being read. And
• 50:44
  Speaker 11: when I saw that, it just hit me that we
• 50:49
  Speaker 11: are people, you know, it used to say never forget. Well,
• 50:52
  Speaker 11: we have forgotten about 9-11. And this Islamification is on
• 50:58
  Speaker 11: full display right now. This Red-Green Alliance and that AOC
• 51:02
  Speaker 11: and Zoran Mamdani is proof positive of that. Did you
• 51:09
  Speaker 11: happen to see that, Todd?
• 51:10
  Speaker 6: Well, yes. We broadcasted and we talked about it in
• 51:12
  Speaker 6: the last hour of the program, Charles, and it's very disgusting.
• 51:19
  Speaker 6: Both of them, both AOC and Mamdami, were laughing and
• 51:24
  Speaker 6: cutting up and smiling. And what was so sad is
• 51:28
  Speaker 6: there is a pool report. So there's one video camera
• 51:32
  Speaker 6: that covers all of the events. And so it segued
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: from a poor man weeping over the names around one
• 51:40
  Speaker 6: of the waterfalls there at what was once Ground Zero
• 51:44
  Speaker 6: to the two of them yucking it up. And it
• 51:49
  Speaker 6: was just beyond disgusting.
• 51:52
  Speaker 19: It is.
• 51:53
  Speaker 11: And Todd, right here in Mooresville, North Carolina, this past week,
• 51:57
  Speaker 11: I went to a town hall hearing about the construction
• 52:02
  Speaker 11: of a proposed mosque here. There were hundreds of people there,
• 52:06
  Speaker 11: a lot more than there were last month. But we're
• 52:09
  Speaker 11: trying to get this permit revoked that had been issued
• 52:12
  Speaker 11: for the construction of this mosque. And I would say
• 52:16
  Speaker 11: that there was about 80-20, 80% people are against the mosque, 20%
• 52:21
  Speaker 11: were supporting it. But I had some conversations, Todd. I
• 52:25
  Speaker 11: had a conversation with a guy named John Michael something,
• 52:29
  Speaker 11: and he's an imam of the largest mosque in North Carolina.
• 52:33
  Speaker 11: And the hate he was spewing, just talking to me,
• 52:36
  Speaker 11: would just blow people away. He was trying to deny
• 52:40
  Speaker 11: that the hijackers were yelling Allah Akbar as they were
• 52:45
  Speaker 11: crashing those planes. He was trying to deny and saying
• 52:49
  Speaker 11: that it was AI-generated October 7th, that that never happened.
• 52:53
  Speaker 11: He was trying to deny the Holocaust. And I was
• 52:56
  Speaker 11: telling him, to his face, that his religion... is not
• 53:01
  Speaker 11: a religion. It is a political movement disguised as a religion.
• 53:07
  Speaker 11: And what I have to say is, in the name
• 53:11
  Speaker 11: of religion and freedom of religion, if that requires you
• 53:14
  Speaker 11: to suicide your nation and your culture, you are reading
• 53:19
  Speaker 11: the freedom of religion clause wrong. You know, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus,
• 53:26
  Speaker 11: they're not out here advocating for the murder of people
• 53:30
  Speaker 11: that do not convert to their faith. But the Muslims
• 53:33
  Speaker 11: and radical jihadists are. And people have got to wake up,
• 53:38
  Speaker 11: and we need to stick together and band together to
• 53:41
  Speaker 11: prevent this. And I put out a post on Facebook
• 53:45
  Speaker 11: where I think we need 10,000 men from Iredell County,
• 53:48
  Speaker 11: we're a county of about 150, 200,000 people, to get
• 53:49
  Speaker 11: 10,000 men to give some organizational structure. to stand up
• 53:57
  Speaker 11: and try to do something. Because if our elected officials
• 54:00
  Speaker 11: in this county and this town are not going to
• 54:02
  Speaker 11: do anything to protect its citizens and its children, then.
• 54:05
  Speaker 14: It's up to us to do it.
• 54:07
  Speaker 6: Charles, keep me updated on that situation because it is, yeah, that's, look,
• 54:13
  Speaker 6: this is a serious issue and it's impacting every town,
• 54:17
  Speaker 6: every community in America. And if it's not yet, it will.
• 54:21
  Speaker 6: So folks better wake up and understand the dangers of
• 54:25
  Speaker 6: that are lurking. I know that the folks in Texas
• 54:28
  Speaker 6: are dealing with the rise of political Islam there, and
• 54:31
  Speaker 6: it will be coming to your town, folks. You better
• 54:34
  Speaker 6: believe it. Charles, I've got to run, but thank you
• 54:37
  Speaker 6: for calling in. Folks, this segment of the program brought
• 54:41
  Speaker 6: to you by our friends at Newsmax. Midterms almost here.
• 54:45
  Speaker 6: Republicans could be in trouble. Polls showing Democrats leading in
• 54:48
  Speaker 6: key races. Tonight, Rob Fenderty on Newsmax reveals the growing
• 54:52
  Speaker 6: threat from the DSA and radical left. 60 days to go.
• 54:56
  Speaker 6: Fenderty says it's time for the GOP to hit the
• 54:59

• 55:27
  Speaker 6: This is the Todd Stern Show. Back in a minute.
• 55:48
  Speaker 6: All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Starnes
• 55:50
  Speaker 6: Radio Show. By the way, we have now posted the
• 55:52
  Speaker 6: video of Mayor Mamdami and AOC laughing and giggling at
• 55:57
  Speaker 6: today's 9-11 memorial service. You can see it for yourself,
• 56:01
  Speaker 6: and you can see it within the context of they
• 56:04
  Speaker 6: were literally, the videographers were going from one scene to
• 56:08
  Speaker 6: another to another when they captured the mayor hamming it
• 56:12
  Speaker 6: up with AOC. It's hodsterns.com. I'd encourage you to go
• 56:15
  Speaker 6: and check out the video right now over on our website.
• 56:18
  Speaker 6: Let's go to the phone lines real quick here. Andre
• 56:21
  Speaker 6: in Memphis, Tennessee, listening to us on our flagship station.
• 56:25
  Speaker 6: KWAM wants to weigh in on the Lindsay Clancy case. Hi, Andre.
• 56:29
  Speaker 6: What's on your mind today?
• 56:31
  Speaker 17: Hey, Todd.
• 56:31
  Speaker 20: How are you doing today?
• 56:32
  Speaker 6: I'm doing good. Thank you very much.
• 56:35
  Speaker 20: I want to get your opinion of how you think
• 56:38
  Speaker 20: the feminists and the liberals are going to react when
• 56:41
  Speaker 20: they find out that the lone holdout juror is a
• 56:43
  Speaker 20: black man.
• 56:46
  Speaker 6: Andre, I've been waiting for this call all day. Yeah,
• 56:50
  Speaker 6: this is true. It turns out that the man, the
• 56:54
  Speaker 6: one holdout, who wanted to hold Lindsay Clancy accountable for
• 56:59
  Speaker 6: killing her three children, is in fact a black guy.
• 57:03
  Speaker 6: I'm going to play some audio, Andre. This all came out.
• 57:07
  Speaker 6: On CBS Morning News, cut 47, please.
• 57:11
  Speaker 12: I'm curious about the jurors themselves because we know it
• 57:14
  Speaker 12: was nine women, three men. What was the age range?
• 57:18
  Speaker 12: What was the racial makeup? I haven't heard any of that.
• 57:20
  Speaker 22: What was it? 70-ish to 22. And one person of
• 57:29
  Speaker 22: color and then everybody else was white.
• 57:34
  Speaker 12: A lot of the jurors had children. One person of
• 57:38
  Speaker 12: color was a person of color, a woman or a man?
• 57:41
  Speaker 12: A man. A man. Is a holdout juror a person,
• 57:45
  Speaker 12: a black man?
• 57:47
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 57:48
  Speaker 12: A black man is a holdout juror? Yes. Well, I
• 57:52
  Speaker 12: have to sit with that for just a second.
• 57:55
  Speaker 6: Andre, that's Gayle King, Oprah's special friend. She didn't know
• 57:59
  Speaker 6: what to say, Andre.
• 58:02
  Speaker 13: No, she didn't.
• 58:02
  Speaker 14: You know what, Todd?
• 58:03
  Speaker 20: I'm 65 years old. So I've been experiencing the liberal
• 58:07
  Speaker 20: white view when it comes to black people pretty much
• 58:09
  Speaker 20: all my life. And this is going to infuriate them
• 58:13
  Speaker 20: because with liberalism, when you're dealing with a black person,
• 58:16
  Speaker 20: you don't think for yourself. You don't think your own path.
• 58:19
  Speaker 20: You think what we tell you to think and you
• 58:21
  Speaker 20: act like we want you to act. And this is
• 58:23
  Speaker 20: going to bring it to a head, my friend.
• 58:26
  Speaker 6: Andre, I think you're onto something here. And now within
• 58:29
  Speaker 6: that context, because these women, these white woke women were
• 58:33
  Speaker 6: boasting about how they were heckling the guy and goading
• 58:36
  Speaker 6: him and taunting him. All these white women were basically
• 58:41
  Speaker 6: ganging up on the black dude.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: Uh-huh, uh-huh.
• 58:45
  Speaker 20: What it had the potential of doing is waking up
• 58:48
  Speaker 20: some black people to realize liberals only for black do
• 58:52
  Speaker 20: what we say and you think like we think. I'm
• 58:55
  Speaker 20: enjoying this, my friend. I'm enjoying this.
• 58:57
  Speaker 6: You know what? When I found out, I popped up
• 59:00
  Speaker 6: some Orville Redenbacher and got a Dr. Pepper, Andre. All right,
• 59:06
  Speaker 6: my friend. Thank you for calling in. Thank you for
• 59:08
  Speaker 6: listening to KWAM. I want to go right away to
• 59:10
  Speaker 6: our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Say hello to our good buddy,
• 59:13
  Speaker 6: Joe Messina, nationally syndicated radio host out of Santa Clarita, California. Joe,
• 59:19
  Speaker 6: I want to get back to the other big stories
• 59:21
  Speaker 6: of the day, but you had this breaking news coming
• 59:23
  Speaker 6: out that the lone holdout in the Lindsay Clancy case
• 59:27
  Speaker 6: turned out to be a black guy.
• 59:31
  Speaker 18: Can you see all those MSNBC, ABC, DFG people just
• 59:34
  Speaker 18: spinning around in the newsroom trying to figure out what
• 59:37
  Speaker 18: they're going to do with this? And I love that
• 59:39
  Speaker 18: long pause when she found out. I mean, they do
• 59:41
  Speaker 18: that all the time. When they get hit with a
• 59:42
  Speaker 18: truth log, they don't know what to do, do they?
• 59:45
  Speaker 6: It really, I mean, poor Gayle King, Oprah's special friend,
• 59:49
  Speaker 6: she had no idea what to do.
• 59:52
  Speaker 18: No, totally lost because the narrative is already in your head.
• 59:56
  Speaker 18: They've already got answers and questions lined up that they're
• 59:59
  Speaker 18: going to ask because they know that that had to
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 18: be some, you know, white, right wing, white mega guy.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 18: Had to be.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 6: Oh, it had to be. No, it was, you know,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 6: it was Todd Starnes on the jury with his NRA
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 6: ball camp on.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 14: I like it.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 12: Wow.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 6: Well, anyway, that'll that throws a wrench into the narrative
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 6: and we'll see how that plays out. But I think
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 6: Andre had it right. You know that the liberals only
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 6: like black people when they do what they're told to do.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 6: And that's that's that, as they say. Joe, of course, today,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 6: 25 years since the Muslims flew jetliners into the buildings,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 6: Mayor Zomra Mamdami laughing and giggling at the memorial today.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 6: And a lot of folks just really, really upset over
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 6: the rise of Islam in this country. What's your takeaway
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 6: on this 25th anniversary?
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 18: Well, look, I went to an event this morning. I
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 18: don't want to say commemorating, but remembering those who gave
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 18: their lives, the first responders, the ones that simply went
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 18: to work that day, all those innocent Americans that were
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 18: working to make their family lives better. And the sad
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 18: part about it is I was at a school, a
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 18: lot of young kids, not that they didn't have a clue,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 18: they didn't understand truly what had taken place. So it
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 18: was a great event to get that information up. But
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 18: for me personally, I remember when it went down. And
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 18: even today, watching a five-minute video of what took place
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 18: and listening to the radio calls back and forth, Todd,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 18: I started crying. I started crying because, you know, look
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 18: at the innocent people that were killed. And as far
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 18: as I'm concerned, watching what's happening today in New York
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 18: and other places, we've learned nothing. We've done nothing to
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 18: protect our people. We like to say we did. But
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 18: in my estimation, watching what's happening and what's being allowed
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 18: to happen, we've done nothing. And I'm fearful for some
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 18: of these major cities across the country.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 6: Well, I am too. And we had Robin Walensky on
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 6: the first for the full hour of the first hour
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 6: of the show. And she was there. She's a reporter
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 6: covering 9-11. She thinks like you and I think. And
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 6: she says that is her biggest thing. When she goes
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 6: and votes on Election Day, it's who's going to protect
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 6: the homeland. And even though we have secured the borders,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 6: we've got a lot of dangerous people that are still
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 6: in this country.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 18: You know, what's interesting to me is they're those extremist Islamists,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 18: whatever you want to call them, in these cities, in
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 18: these different cities across the country. Isn't it interesting when
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 18: Christian men show up and they show up in force
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 18: and they show up in numbers, they're nowhere to be found,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 18: are they? They've retreated into their homes or back under
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 18: the rocks or back into their caves, whatever it is
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 18: they're going to. We need to step forward again. We truly,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 18: you know, we talk a good game sometimes, but God
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 18: bless those bikers a few weeks back who showed up
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 18: in Detroit. Where were all the Muslims then? Where were
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 18: all those brotherhood guys then? We can change this, Todd,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 18: but we have to not be afraid to do it.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 18: We need to step up. We need to be, I'm
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 18: not going to say violent because that's not what I mean.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 18: But we do need to be more aggressive. We do
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 18: need to be able to speak out more or willing
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 18: to speak out more to protect our kids, to protect
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 18: our country.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 6: The situation there in lower Manhattan getting a little heated
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 6: right now and breaking news as we cover some of
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 6: the protests that are erupting. And there are thousands of
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 6: protesters that are showing up. There are Muslims chanting Allah
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 6: Akbar outside City Hall in New York City. which is
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 6: just a couple of blocks over from Ground Zero. Also,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 6: a New York City firefighter just unloaded on a pro-Palestinian activist,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 6: believe it or not, wearing an Elmo costume. We're going
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 6: to try to pull the audio of that. But again,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 6: I think that the American people are pissed off and
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 6: they're done. Joe, I think they're done with all of
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 6: these Islamists.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 18: Well, God bless. I hope you're right. When you hear
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 18: them talking like that, the thing that bothers me also
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 18: is we've heard them say, death to America. We have
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 18: to rip down this, not the administration, but the government.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 18: Isn't that against the law, Todd? Am I missing something here?
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 18: I mean, isn't that considered treason or sedition? I mean,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 18: come up with the right word. I don't care. I'm
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 18: not well-educated, but I'm telling you, when you sit there
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 18: and talk about tearing down this government, tearing down this country,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 18: I am sure it goes past freedom of speech. At
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 18: least in my mind, no question about it.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 6: Joe Messina joining us on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 6: today and our telephone number, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. I want
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 6: to play some audio. This is back-to-back George Bush. So
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 6: if we could play cut 52 and then 53.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 15: I want you to talk about a couple of those events.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 15: You talked about going to the Islamic Center and trying
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 15: to make sure that our Muslim American citizens knew that
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 15: we didn't blame them.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 12: For what had happened.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 16: I also made it clear that Islam was a religion
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 16: of peace, not a religion of war, and that these
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 16: people subverted their religion.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 14: Yes.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 12: That's not what Islam is all about.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 16: Islam is peace. These terrorists don't represent peace. They represent
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 16: evil and war. When we think of Islam, we think
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 16: of a faith that brings comfort to a billion people
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 16: around the world.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 12: Billions of people.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 16: Find comfort and solace and peace.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 6: Is that how you see it, Joe? I mean, is
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 6: Islam a religion of peace or pieces?
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 18: Look, I have said this on my show. I have
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 18: had Muslims on my show, and I've called them out
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 18: and said to them, look, if you're truly the religion
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 18: of peace, when you have these acts of violence, where
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 18: is the group of you that will come out and say,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 18: that's not.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 6: The God I believe in? Yeah, where are they?
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 18: Religion I belong to. If you would do that, you
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 18: would take guys like me, you would take our temperature
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 18: down quite a bit when it comes to, you know,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 18: listening to what you're speaking and what you're saying. So
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 18: I have to believe that it has to be a
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 18: religion of, I won't say a war, but definitely a
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 18: violence at this point. At least that's what we're seeing, right?
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 18: We don't see Christians, even those Christians that went to
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 18: Detroit and some of the other cities, they were walking
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 18: the streets with crosses. I I didn't see any of
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 18: them beat anybody up. I didn't see any of them
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 18: go after any of the maybe non-Christians there and start
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 18: pounding on them. I didn't see that happen. I saw
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 18: a group of Jews get together over in New York City,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 18: come together. I didn't see them going to beat anybody
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 18: up or hurt anybody. So, If what I'm watching and
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 18: what I'm seeing, not just on the Internet and on
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 18: TV and other places, is a reflection of your religion,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 18: then yes, you know, you're a religion of war. You
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 18: are a religion of death and destruction.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 6: Well, let's take a listen to Ilhan Omar. This is
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 6: how she described what happened on 9-11, cut 48.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 5: Because here's the truth.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 12: Here's the truth.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 5: Far too long we have lived with the discomfort of
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 5: being a second-class citizen. And frankly, I'm tired of it,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 5: and every single Muslim in this country should.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 6: Be tired of it.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 5: CARE was founded after 9-11. Because they recognize that some
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 5: people did something.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: Boom.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 12: Right there.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 13: Stop.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 6: So some people did something. That's, you know, some people
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 6: did something. What are you going to do?
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 18: Oh, my God. I can't drink enough to have that
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 18: make sense. I mean, in all seriousness, right? And for
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 18: her to sit there and say that they've been treated
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 18: like second-class citizens, then don't act like it. Don't take
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 18: the stuff from the country you left for a better
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 18: life and institute that where you're at.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 15: Look.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 18: And I mean this, I'm sure there are a lot
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 18: of good Muslim people out there that just want to
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 18: live their lives. Just like, you know, we have Christians
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 18: that go to church, what, twice a year? I mean,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 18: we have some of those in every religious belief. But
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 18: here's the deal. When you come into these neighborhoods and
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 18: they turn into ghettos, and I'm going to call them ghettos.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 18: You know, you come in there, you rip them down.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 18: What do you expect us to think? Your actions are
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 18: showing us what you believe. And I'm going to make
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 18: one distasteful comment here, and I hope you guys take
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 18: it in context. You cannot tell your wife how much
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 18: you love her as you're beating her.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 14: Okay?
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 6: Doesn't work.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 18: It makes absolutely no sense. You can't move in these
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 18: communities and talk about being second-class citizens and ripping those
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 18: communities down to second and third-class levels. It doesn't work.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 6: No, it doesn't work. It doesn't work. Joe, we're going
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 6: to have to leave it there. We appreciate your great
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 6: comments today. And again, JoeMessina.com, ladies and gentlemen, is the website,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 6: all things Joe Messina, and you can get information on
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 6: how to listen to his great show as well. That's JoeMessina.com.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 6: All right, Joe, my friend, have a great weekend.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 18: God bless, Todd.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 14: Be safe.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 6: All right. 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Let's go to Daryl in Kansas. Daryl,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 6: what station are you listening to?
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 23: Well, I'm listening out of Liberal Kansas. I don't remember
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 23: the call letters or numbers, but it's the AM station
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 23: out of Liberal Kansas.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 6: Well, we're excited to have you calling in from Liberal Kansas. Daryl,
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 6: what's on your mind today?
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 14: Well, today's Remembrance Day, Todd.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 23: And I'll be honest with you, I wept this morning.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 23: And I'm thinking, you know, we still have enemies within America.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 23: And those enemies are in the Democrat Party.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 14: And, you know, it's like, holy cow. You know, what
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 14: are we going to do?
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 6: Daryl, I think we've got a lot of people in
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 6: this country, many of them elected to office, that don't
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 6: have America's best interest at heart. And I think we're
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 6: seeing that. And I think that's one of the reasons
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 6: why people are very concerned when politicians are dismissive of
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 6: what happened 25 years ago.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 23: Yeah, but some of the stuff that's going on today
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 23: in today's real world, I mean, We have enemies in
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 23: the Democrat Party. I mean, what are we going to do?
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 6: Well, vote Republican, Daryl. That's one thing we can do,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 6: and I would encourage everybody to get out and vote.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 6: I know you guys have some pretty significant races there
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 6: in the state of Kansas, and got to make sure
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 6: that you get Republicans elected. So, Daryl, my advice, get
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 6: out and vote. My friend, we're going to have to
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 6: leave it there. Thank you for listening to us, Daryl.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 6: You give us a call back, 901-260-5926. Hang tight. We're
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 6: going right to the phones.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 23: All right.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 6: It is Open Line Friday. We've got Joe in Liberal, Kansas,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 6: listening to us on the great KSCB radio. Hi, Joe.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 6: What's on your mind today?
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 14: I was just going to comment on the Mondami AOC issue.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 14: laughter at the remembrance ceremony.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 6: Yes, what do you make of that?
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 14: I think it's despicable. But my comment, the New York
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 14: voters voted for that, and it reflects upon.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 6: Them Joe, I guess you have to– They're.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 14: Getting what they voted for.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 6: You're exactly right, Joe. They're getting what they voted for.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 6: And so I'm sorry. Well, I do feel sorry for
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 6: a lot of the folks there that maybe live on
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 6: Long Island. They're not in New York City proper, and
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 6: they're probably– they probably vote Republican. But if you're voting
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 6: Democrat in New York City, Joe, to your point, you
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 6: get what you vote for.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 14: Whether they were Democrat or Republican voters, if they voted
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 14: for those people, it reflects upon them, and may God
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 14: have mercy on them.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 6: Joe, well said, my friend. A lot of common sense
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 6: there in the heartland. Joe, thank you for calling in.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 6: Thank you for listening, and give us a holler back
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 6: one of these days. KSCB, great affiliate out there. Let's
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 6: go to Memphis, Tennessee, and say hello to James, listening
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 6: to us on KWAM. Hi, James. What's on your mind?
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 9: I heard something on TV last night, and I wanted
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 9: to verify it with you because I verified it with
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 9: my grandchildren who are in high school and college that
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 9: I heard last night that the major networks own a
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 9: great majority of the footage of the whole event as
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 9: well as any analysis of the whole thing that went on.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 9: And we never get to see it until the anniversary date,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 9: you know, today's date. And I asked the kids if
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 9: they were ever presented it in high school or college
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 9: in any history classes, and they haven't.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 6: Now, I haven't heard that. I do believe, though, that
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 6: they're not showing this in the schools. I have no
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 6: doubt about that. Copyright is part of the story, but
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 6: The networks generally, and I do remember this, after 9-11,
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 6: the network head honchos got together and decided they were
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 6: not going to show those planes flying into the buildings.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 6: They made that decision. But there's a lot of other
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 6: video and material out there that would not be covered
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 6: under copyright, James. James, I hate to do this. The
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 6: music means I've got to scoot out of here, but
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 6: thank you for calling in. Hang tight, everybody. Hour 3
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 6: and your calls coming up next.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: From Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun-toting, Bible-clinging, deplorable American.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: That's us, that's right. I love this American ride.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 12: Todd Starnes.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 6: Oh, well, hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starnes Radio Show.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 6: Great to have you with us. Today, 25 years since
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 6: Muslims flew jetliners into buildings in New York City, in Washington, D.C.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 6: at the Pentagon and in a field in Pennsylvania. They
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 6: did so while chanting Allahu Akbar, and they did so
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 6: in the name of the religion of peace. And today
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 6: we are remembering. And let me just say that we're
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 6: watching things unfold in lower Manhattan where a guy by
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 6: the name of Jake Lang has been holding a massive
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 6: demonstration against the Muslims. thousands of people are in the street.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 6: Just moments ago, we had this audio from a guy
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 6: chanting outside of City Hall, chanting Allahu Akbar just a
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 6: few blocks away from where the Twin Towers once stood.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 6: All right, while that was going on, you've got A
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 6: lot of Muslims out there, and a New York City
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 6: firefighter almost went to war with a guy dressed like
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 6: Elmo waving a Palestinian flag. Dell and I understand we
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 6: had to clean this up a smidge. Just a smidge.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 6: Just a smidge. All right, you're going to hear the
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 6: firefighter giving the Muslim a piece of his mind.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, Christ, that's Palestine. Anti-American.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 12: I think we got the gist of it, though.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 8: Tensions are a little high right now.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 12: And I think there are just thousands.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 24: And thousands of people.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 6: And keep in mind, many of the people who died
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 6: on 9-11... They lived in places like New Jersey, Staten Island,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 6: which is very conservative, Long Island, which is very conservative,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 6: Republican area, and they would commute in. So you're dealing
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 6: with a lot of conservatives that are just enraged right now.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 6: Over the way, Zoran Mamdami has handled all of this.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 6: We've got the video right now on ToddStarns.com. As a
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 6: matter of fact, Mamdami is laughing and giggling with AOC
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 6: at the memorial. Who does that? Mamdami should have known.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 6: And by the way, this is all intentional. He went
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 6: there to gloat. That's all he did. He went there
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 6: to gloat. Otherwise, he would have condemned all of the
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 6: people that he surrounded himself with, calling for the destruction
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 6: of America, death to America, saying that America deserved 9-11.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 6: You remove those cancerous people from your life. But instead,
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 6: he has elevated them. And that's why those people are upset.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 6: I mean, I do not blame them one bit. All right,
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 6: let's go to the phone lines here. 901-260-5926. It's open
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 6: line Friday. Let's go to North Carolina. Kristen, listening to us,
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 6: wants to weigh in on J.D. Vance's speech last night. Hi, Kristen.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 6: What's up?
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 19: Hi, Todd.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 25: It's so good to talk to you today. I will
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 25: say it has been a super heavy week considering the
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 25: anniversary of 9-11 and also Charlie Kirk's assassination yesterday. My generation,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 25: Gen Z, we lost our Stephen. He was martyred. But
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 25: someone who loved J.D. Vance was Charlie Kirk, and he
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 25: championed him. And last night at the RNC when J.D.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 25: made his speech, I knew exactly why Charlie Kirk was
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 25: one of his biggest opponents. Each time I hear the
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 25: vice president give a speech, I understand the excitement that
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 25: he had for him. And personally, I really do look
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 25: forward to his political future as a leader in the
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 25: Republican Party. And I would love to see a Rubio
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 25: Vance ticket. I don't know about you. I don't think J.D.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 25: 's quite ready for the presidency. But I would love
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 25: to see a Rubio Vance ticket.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 6: I think it would be a terrific ticket. And I
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 6: think Rubio has really demonstrated. the chops he has to
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 6: be the next president of the United States. And look,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 6: the good news here, Kristen, I think there's a good
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 6: deep bench of possible Republican candidates, but a Rubio-Vance ticket,
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 6: that's a pretty exciting combo platter right there.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 25: Yes, I would totally agree. And I can't help but
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 25: wonder if they are going to push J.D. as the frontrunner,
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 25: which only the Lord knows what's going to happen with that.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 25: But I would be happy to support him even if
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 25: that were to happen, and I just really look forward
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 25: to the Republican Party's future. I think we're making some strides.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 6: I'm with you there, Kristen. I'm excited to hear your
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 6: excitement about that, and you're right. It has really been
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 6: a tough week. There's just a lot of heavy stuff
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 6: going down, and the good news is that we have persevered,
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 6: and again, I go back to the message in the
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 6: Golden Age that Trump saved America from a great darkness
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 6: and evil, and we've just got to make sure that
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 6: after Trump leaves office that we are standing in the
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 6: gap and we're fighting that darkness and that evil.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 17: Absolutely.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 25: As you just said, Todd, it's about fighting the darkness.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 25: And you and I both as believers know that our
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 25: battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 25: wickedness and against Satan, our ultimate enemy. So may God
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 25: put a warrior in office that's going to war against
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 25: the dark forces.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 6: I love that. Kristen, what a great word on this Friday.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 6: Thank you so much for calling in, and have a
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 6: great weekend. I want to play this real quick from J.D.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 24: Vance.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 6: We're going back to the phones.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 14: 901-260-5926.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 6: That's 901-260-5926. This is J.D. Vance last night at the
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 6: Republican Midterm Convention. Cut 43, please.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 10: Who aren't always sold, and I want to speak directly
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 10: to them, not to the faithful, but to the people
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 10: who are still making up their minds, the people on
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 10: the margins, the people who are still a little unsure
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 10: who they're going to vote for, people who love some
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 10: of our policies but maybe don't agree with others, young men,
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 10: many of whom felt inspired by Charlie Kirk but are
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 10: unhappy with some of what has happened in the wake
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 10: of his death. And I want to speak directly to
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 10: that group because I think Charlie is a great example
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 10: of how to disagree but still participate in the work
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 10: of saving this country. Charlie, ladies and gentlemen, was dedicated
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 10: to this movement and this country. He loved, and I
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 10: do mean loved, the President of the United States. But
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 10: In the eight months or so that we were in
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 10: office before Charlie died, I talked to.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 6: Him a lot, almost every day.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 10: And Charlie was still a free thinker with his own
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 10: principles and views. He did not always agree with us.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 10: Let me just give you one example. Charlie hated war.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 10: Whether it was Europe or Africa, the Middle East, he
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 10: didn't care. He just hated war. That was his view. Now,
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 10: of course, there are people who love what we've done
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 10: and people who don't. I'm not here to litigate the
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 10: disagreements between Charlie and some of the people that he
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 10: disagreed with. But what I'm asking you to do is
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 10: do what Charlie did. Do not throw the baby out
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 10: with the bathwater. Don't give the country over to a
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 10: bunch of crazy people because you happen to disagree with
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 10: us on a policy issue here or there. Look, I'm
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 10: not asking anybody to agree with me on every single issue.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 10: I'm not asking anybody to agree on every single policy
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 10: of the administration. What I am asking you to do
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 10: is to recognize the contrast with the radicals and recognize
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 10: the achievements of the last 18 months. We have done
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 10: a lot, my friends, and we can do a lot
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 10: more if we fight together.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we can. And again, this is why I wrote
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 6: The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America. Honest to goodness, folks,
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 6: go buy this. Buy two copies and give it to
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 6: somebody who's still undecided. As soon as they get past
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 6: Chapter 1, they're going to be heading to the ballot
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 6: box on Election Day. That's how definitive this book is
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 6: about the great successes of our president. All right, let's
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 6: get back to the phones.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 5: 901-260-5926.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 6: Larry, Ocala, Florida. W-O-C-A. Hi, Larry. What's on your mind?
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 24: I think the only thing better than Vance Rubio would
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 24: be maybe McCain Romney. You know, if you're talking swamp, baby,
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 24: there's the swamp, you know?
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 6: Wait, who's this? So you're saying Rubio and Vance are
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 6: the swamp?
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 24: Are you saying they're not?
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm asking you a question here. So you made
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 6: the comparison. So you're comparing Rubio and J.D. Vance to
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 6: Mitt Romney and John McCain. How do you make that leap?
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 24: Because they've all done the same thing.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 25: Nothing.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 6: What do you mean by that? What do you mean
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 6: by nothing?
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 24: Okay, so they've protected pedophiles. They've not released any of
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 24: the information. They've not prosecuted one Democrat. They've repealed Obamacare
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 24: 43 times. until someone would sign it, and.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 20: Then they wouldn't do it.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 24: They passed a big, beautiful bill. They have done literally
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 24: nothing that a Republican stands for. And you guys sit
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 24: there and act like that they're doing what they promised
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 24: in the campaign. I mean, literally did not. No new wars.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 24: We're at war. Look at the gas prices. The reality is,
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 24: if we were to make this country a little bit
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 24: worse by voting Democrat, we might actually motivate people to
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 24: stand up and create some change that we need.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 6: All right, so who's your candidate, Larry? Who do you support?
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 24: Well, here's the deal. My best candidate would be Thomas Massey. However,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 24: voting for Libertarians, voting for Thomas Massey, voting for some
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 24: other person, third party like that, solves no problem. We
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 24: need to send a message to these Republicans. We are
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 24: tired of being lied to. And vote Democrat so that
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 24: they get the message. Firing the Republicans at this point
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 24: is way more important than any other thing. Republicans not listening.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 20: To us is our problem.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 24: It's kind of like if you owned a home and
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 24: you had a security system and you lived in a
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 24: bad neighborhood and you knew the crooks were going to
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 24: break in your house. So you've got a security system
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 24: to try to prevent that from happening. The Republicans being
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 24: the security system in this case and the Democrats being
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 24: the crooks. When the Republicans let the crooks in to
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 24: steal from you, whose fault is it? Who would you blame?
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 6: Larry, it's a rhetorical question, but go ahead and finish
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 6: your thought.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 24: Of course you blame the Republicans.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 6: Too much of a pause there, Larry. You've got to
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 6: get to it. I'm sorry, Larry. Go ahead. Go ahead.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 6: Finish your thought.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 24: There's nothing funny about this. This is not a joke.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 8: You're like Mondami laughing about 9-11.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 6: Larry, Larry, don't be an idiot, okay? Please, please don't. Please,
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 6: please don't go down that path today. I'm really not
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 6: in the mood. I'm nothing like Zoran Mamdami. Larry, you
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 6: called into the program and you compared J.D. Vance to
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 6: John McCain and Mitt Romney. That's not only laughable, it's ridiculous, Larry.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 6: It really is. So I'm going to tell you what, Larry.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 6: We're going to let you go. We're going to let
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 6: you cool down. And maybe next week you can call
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 6: back into the show. But don't be trying to compare
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 6: me to Zoran Mamdami. Give me a break. And again, look,
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 6: Larry is not wrong. The Republicans have done diddly and squat.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 6: That's why they had to have a midterm convention. And
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 6: now Trump is trying to convince everybody to make this
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 6: election cycle about him and not the do-nothing Republicans in Congress.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 6: I get that. But again, to come out here and
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 6: somehow say that Marco Rubio and J.D. Vance are like
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 6: Romney McCain, come on. Let's get real. 901-260-5926, our number.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 6: That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. All right,
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 6: let's get right to the phones here.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 5: 901-260-5926.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 6: Keith in the Woodlands, Texas, listening to us on Patriot
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 6: Talk 920. Hi, Keith, what's on your mind?
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 8: You know, I guess whenever I hear people start to
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 8: spew things out of emotion and they haven't done any research...
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 8: They tend to be criticizing and using what the mainstream
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 8: media is saying, which the past callers seem to be doing.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 8: Number one, they released the Epstein files after the Biden
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 8: administration held it for years. The Biden administration was trying
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 8: to use it as a political platform for lawfare. We've
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 8: had tax reform, the one big beautiful bill. We've had
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 8: the Trump accounts for minors. We've had the business and
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 8: manufacturing relief. We've had crypto and financial regulation genius act.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 8: We've had the Lakin Riley act and law enforcement measures.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 8: We've done fantastic at the border, which was a huge
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 8: part of the election. We've had interdiction policies. about the wall.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 8: We've had energy permitting platform. reform, I'm sorry, and the
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 8: Speed Act and the Permit Act. We've had federal spending
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 8: rescissions We've had public land access.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 6: And it goes, yeah, exactly. So, Keith, to your point,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 6: the administration has done a lot. Now, some of the
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 6: big signature things have yet to be accomplished, but the
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 6: point is the president has been able to accomplish quite
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 6: a bit. Whoops, did we lose Keith? We lost Keith. Keith,
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 6: sorry about that, my friend.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 12: 901-260-5926.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 6: Keith was on a roll there, but it's true. The
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 6: president has accomplished quite a bit in this country. This
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 6: story out of Connecticut has really got me riled up here, folks.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 6: This is from Summers, Connecticut. A guy by the name
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 6: of Aaron Gaddis, he's the pastor of an apostolic church,
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 6: so he's a minister of the gospel, and he saw
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 6: an ad, a Help Wanted ad, For the local school district,
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 6: they were looking for an assistant principal. So Pastor Geddes
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 6: goes out and applies for the job. They do the interviews.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 6: He passes with flying colors. And they hired the guy
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 6: to be the assistant principal at the high school there
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 6: in Summers, Connecticut. And he was doing, by all accounts,
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 6: a really good job as the assistant principal. But then
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 6: videos began to surface. And they're not the kinds of videos—
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 6: you think would get somebody in trouble, but they got
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 6: the pastor in trouble. Those videos were sermons that he
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 6: delivered from the pulpit of his local church. And these
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 6: sermons covered issues like sex and gender and what the
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 6: Bible has to say about these issues. So somebody got
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 6: wind of this. They sent the videos to the school board.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 6: And now all you know what is breaking loose in Summers, Connecticut.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 6: So what we can tell you is this. Pastor Geddes
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 6: has been suspended. He's been removed from his job. As
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 6: the school board investigates, they've already held a closed-door meeting,
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 6: and they put out a statement after this meeting saying
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 6: that they stand firmly committed to get this inclusiveness, tolerance,
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 6: and acceptance. But clearly that does not apply to any
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 6: Christians who might be employed in by the school district.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 6: So anyway, the school says, again, Pastor Geddes has been
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 6: removed from his job. He will not be working at
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 6: the high school until further notice. So apparently, in Summers, Connecticut,
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 6: you cannot work for the school system unless you pledge
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 6: allegiance to the rainbow flag. Now, what does that tell you,
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 6: ladies and gentlemen? Hopefully, Pastor Geddes is going to get
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 6: himself a good religious liberty attorney and fight whatever is
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 6: about to come his way, because it certainly looks as
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 6: though the school district is going to permanently give this
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 6: pastor the heave-ho. That is just unacceptable. And again, going
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 6: back to what I wrote about in The Golden Age,
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 6: President Trump standing up and defending religious liberty in this country,
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 6: it's not a one-time deal. Every generation has to fight
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 6: for freedom, and we're going to have to hope and
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 6: pray that the good Christian people in Summers, Connecticut, rise up,
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 6: and put a stop to this nonsense. I mean, that's
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 6: just crazy that this guy could be out of a
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 6: job simply for preaching a sermon. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 6: That's 901-260-5926. Coming up, we're going to wrap things up
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 6: this week with a little bit of good news. Our
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 6: good friend Caleb Park joining us, journalist and host of
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 6: The Good Report with Caleb Park, That's coming up in

• 1:33:03
  Speaker 6: Welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 6: Let's go right away to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 6: Say hello to our good friend, the great journalist, Caleb Park,
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 6: host of The Good Report with Caleb Park. Caleb, I
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 6: am shocked here. C-SPAN, of all the media outlets, C-SPAN
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 6: actually posted the coverage of Zoran Mamdami and AOC laughing
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 6: and giggling together at today's Sala Memorial Service. By the way,
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 6: we have that video up on our website, toddsterns.com. Caleb,
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 6: I got to tell you, I'm surprised they did that.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 6: But wow, what a bad look for the mayor.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 19: Yeah, Todd, I actually saw it on your website. That
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 19: was the first place I was able to see it.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 19: And it really is shocking. And it's interesting because Zohran
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 19: Mamdani is the city's first Muslim mayor. He's also a millennial.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 19: He is one year younger than me. I was 10
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 19: when the towers fell. And I remember that so well.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 19: And I think the shocking part too was you had
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 19: families demanding money that he not be there for the
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 19: reading of the names and then C-SPAN showing this footage
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 19: of this man literally weeping and then panning over and
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 19: showing him and AOC yucking it up, laughing. Um, it's
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 19: not a good look, especially for somebody that has just
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 19: maligned and associated himself with some really troubling people. And, uh, yeah,
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 19: that was really shocking to me too.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 6: And, um, The lack of awareness and the optics here. Again,
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 6: I still think everything that he does is intentional, and
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 6: I think he wanted to snub his nose, thumb his
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 6: nose at the 9-11 families, and they knew what he
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 6: was going to do. That's why they didn't want that
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 6: guy there. And so now here we have the video evidence.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 19: Yeah, Todd, it does feel intentional because obviously you know
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 19: he knew with all the headlines, the New York governor
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 19: saying he should be there. He knew that he was
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 19: going to be on camera the whole time and that
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 19: people would be watching him, especially those families.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 6: It's just heartbreaking. We had a Gen Zer call in
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 6: from North Carolina just a little while ago, and she
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 6: was just making note of how heavy this week has
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 6: been with the anniversary of 9-11 and, of course, the
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 6: one-year anniversary of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. And Caleb, again,
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 6: over at ToddStearns.com, we have video of hundreds of students
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 6: having a party to mock Charlie last night at the
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 6: University of Tennessee, Knoxville. This was happening at university campuses
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 6: all over the country. What do you make of that?
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 19: Todd, I think the most shocking thing about this is
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 19: how mainstream it is. And, you know, one of the
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 19: girls that debated Charlie Kirk in YouTube videos on Jubilee said,
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 19: She was, she posted a video of herself doing an
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 19: outfit change on TikTok with the audio of when he
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 19: was shot and using that bullet sound to change.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 6: For the outfit.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 19: And she said, this is how I mourn. A year ago,
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 19: she said, you know, there should be, we should condemn
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 19: all gun violence. It's shocking to see how much a
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 19: year ago when Charlie was shot, how it seemed like
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 19: we were going to have this unity that people were
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 19: going to come together. Yes, there were people celebrating. But
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 19: it's shocking to see how mainstream it's become. I don't
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 19: even know if it's just on the far left anymore
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 19: in Gen Z. I think it's become something that people
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 19: in the middle that Gen Zers will be just kind
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 19: of laugh about because it's like an internet meme. And
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 19: it's disgusting. It's really sad. And I think that's why
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 19: we have to share the stories like with 9-11 and
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 19: with Charlie Kirk, you and I got a chance to,
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 19: you know, you introduced me to Charlie Kirk years ago.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 19: I don't know if you remember that moment. It was
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 19: at a Christian conference. And I just remember thinking how
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 19: tall he was and how ambitious he was thinking like
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 19: this kid is really going to go places and just seeing,
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 19: you know, throughout his career, I think reminding people like
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 19: he was a real person and, and just how this impacts,
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 19: you know, his kids are still alive, his widow, you know,
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 19: and there's people that are part of his organization. I
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 19: think we need to be sharing stories and letting people know,
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 19: you know, yes, we live in an internet age where
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 19: people think that they can just say what they want
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 19: from behind a keyboard, but it actually impacts people. And
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 19: it's a disturbing trend that I think we've seen. And
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 19: I think we have to do something about it and
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 19: change it and yeah it's the mainstream like you said
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 19: that it's happening at a university and that people are
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 19: posting these videos online and getting clicks and you know
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 19: it's weird too that social media is not cracking down
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 19: on it that people are able to celebrate it and
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 19: just go on with their lives they're celebrating an assassination
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 19: a murder that was very public and I think it
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 19: impacted us all in a very.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 12: Impactful way.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 6: Caleb Hart joining us on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line today. Caleb,
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 6: I know you have been following the Lindsay Clancy story
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 6: and the great irony of ironies. We now know a
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 6: little bit more about that lone male juror, the guy
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 6: I'm calling Chuck Norris, who... who ended up doing the
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 6: right thing. And here's Oprah talking about it on her podcast,
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 6: Oprah talking to one of the woke feminists on the jury.
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 6: Take a listen.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 3: And the other thing that I would just be remiss
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 3: to not say is I hope this never happens again.
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 3: We know statistically it really will.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 12: It will.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 3: I want us to have the same passion for people
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 3: who don't look like Lindsay. Who don't have her same access. Yeah.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 19: Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 3: Who don't have her same access and education, her melanin,
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 3: her privilege. There are women of color sitting around this
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 3: country in prisons for this same thing that we've never
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 3: heard of. And I just want to remind us to
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 3: have the pink shirts and the energy for them as well.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 6: So it turns out that one of the individuals was
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 6: the black guy, the lone holdout juror, a black guy.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 6: And that just kind of flies in the face of
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 6: the narrative here. And I want to play this audio.
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 6: This is from CBS when Lindsay Clancy juror Paula Devlin
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 6: spoke out. Cut 47, please.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 12: I'm curious about the jurors themselves because we know it
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 12: was nine women, three men. What was the age range?
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 12: What was the racial makeup? I haven't heard any of that.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 12: What was it?
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 22: 70-ish to 22. And one person of color and then
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 22: everybody else was white.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 12: A lot of the jurors had children. Uh-huh. One person
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 12: of color was a person of color, a woman or
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 12: a man?
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 23: A man.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 12: A man. Is a holdout juror a black man?
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 12: A black man is a holdout juror?
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 22: Yes.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 12: Well, I have to sit with that for just a second.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 6: Look, Caleb, Gayle King literally turned white when she heard
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 6: that news.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 19: It's a bit of a poetic justice here, Todd, because
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 19: it's like for women, like ever since the trial this
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 19: guy has been maligned he was maligned by the defense
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 19: he was maligned in the mainstream media and now all
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 19: the jurors were coming out and speaking ill of him
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 19: and then she asked the question and you know she
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 19: went fishing and she got she pulled something she really
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 19: didn't want to pull and so i think you know
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 19: it's i have to sit with that it's it's like
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 19: Oh man, she really was not expecting that. And she's like, okay, well,
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 19: which side do I pick now? Do I pick my
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 19: brother over here? Do I stand with my brother or
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 19: do I need to stand against him and stand with
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 19: the dreaded white liberal pink shirt ladies that they've been
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 19: parading around for us to watch over the last couple
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 19: of weeks? And yeah, I think this is, Ultimately, the
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 19: race shouldn't matter. It should be the facts of the case.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 19: And ultimately, we need to remember the three children who
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 19: were brutally murdered by their mother. And so I think
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 19: of all the things, this seems like a little bit
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 19: of poetic justice, but ultimately, we need justice for those kids.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 19: And the fact that they're talking about this is going
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 19: to happen again, I think we've got bigger issues in
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 19: this country, Todd, that This should not be normal. We
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 19: should not be expecting mothers to kill their children. I
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 19: think we have a huge issue in our country, and
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 19: I don't know what the answer is, but we've got
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 19: to do something about this. This is definitely not okay.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 6: Well, no doubt a conundrum for Gayle King over at CBS,
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 6: Oprah's special friend. So we'll see how that plays out.
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 6: Caleb Park joining us on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line today. Caleb,
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 6: we got to end on some sort of good news here.
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 6: I'm just, I feel more depressed now that we've started
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 6: the good news segment.
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 20: Yes.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 19: Well, I, I will say, you know, on the Charlie
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 19: Kirk thing, you know, he did, you know, there's the,
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 19: there's the dark side that people have been mocking him
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 19: and stuff, but he also brought about a lot of
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 19: people that shared that they got, they came to salvation
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 19: through his story and we had Bible sales go up and,
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 19: you know, church attendance increased. So I think there is
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 19: some silver lining on that note. On another story that
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 19: you guys can check out, I posted on my Facebook page.
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 19: I don't know if you saw this. A United Airlines
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 19: flight attendant named Monique, she went viral this week because
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 19: a new mother was falling asleep on a flight and
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 19: her baby was about to fall off of her lap.
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 19: And Monique ran up, caught the baby. and took her
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 19: away and said, you know, go back to sleep, get
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 19: some much needed rest, and I'll sit up here. And
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 19: it's just an adorable photo of her holding the baby
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 19: and just doing something, you know, flight attendants already do
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 19: a lot, 30,000 feet above the land. But, you know,
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 19: here she is going above and beyond. And I think
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 19: we need to celebrate people like her and just know
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 19: that there is good in the world. This has been
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 19: an incredibly successful heavy week with the Lindsay Clancy story,
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 19: Charlie Kirk assassination and 9-11. So if you're feeling heavy,
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 19: it makes sense. Just want to share that with you
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 19: guys and know that there is good. Look for the helpers.
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 19: And I think one of the things that we all remember, Todd,
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 19: from 9-11 was the days after when we united, when
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 19: we became one nation under God. People were praying to
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 19: God in ways that They had never before. They were
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 19: stepping into churches. And so that's my hope and that's
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 19: my prayer. And, you know, anytime there's things that look
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 19: like it's not going well, there's always some good news. And,
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 19: you know, there's always that perspective of what is God doing?
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 19: What can you and I do to help out? And,
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 19: you know, there's always good.
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 6: Caleb, we're going to have to leave it there, my friend. CalebPark.com.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 6: Go check out all of his great work. Be sure
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 6: to follow Caleb on all the social media platforms. He's
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 6: all over the place and has great content every single day. Caleb,
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 6: good to see you. Have a great weekend.
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 19: Thanks, you too, Todd.
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 21: All right.
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 6: Hang tight, everybody. Got to take a break.
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 5: 901-260-5926.
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 6: This is the Todd Starnes Show. Welcome back. This is
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 6: the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Let's go to the phone lines. Bartlesville, Oklahoma. KWON.
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 6: Great radio station. Keith on the line. Hi, Keith. What's
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 6: on your mind today?
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 24: How you doing, Mr. Todd?
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 6: I'm doing good. Thank you for asking, Keith.
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 13: Oh, I was just thinking about things. And, you know,
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 13: you listen to the political things and everything that's going
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 13: on in the world. And especially on this day at 9-11,
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 13: we really need to clean up the left BS that's
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 13: going on here. And we need to get Tyler Robinson
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 13: out there, and I need to put my solitary confinement
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 13: with the guy.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 6: Oh, well, that would be interesting. You know, he could be,
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 6: I mean, if he's convicted, he could get the death
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 6: penalty there in Utah. So that is on the table.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I lived out here in Utah for 40 years.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 13: I just moved to Bartlesville like a year ago. And
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 13: these people in Utah, I cannot believe that they're playing
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 13: these political games. I'm just saying, put my Rottweiler in
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 13: him for 24 hours and let's just see how he does.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 13: And then we'll see how he literally let him scream
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 13: for a minute.
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 6: Well, look, here's the thing, Keith. I believe in due process.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 6: So if you are convicted, you're found guilty, and you're
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 6: in the slammer, I don't necessarily have a problem with
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 6: this because it would basically be saving the taxpayers money.
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 6: It costs a lot of money to house these prisoners.
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 6: So there you go. I mean, if the Rottweiler is
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 6: up for it, I don't know.
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 14: Yeah, he'll do it for free.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 6: For free.
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 13: Nothing got the taxpayers back.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 6: Well, there you go. Keith, you see, that's very thoughtful
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 6: of you. We'll pass the information along. I'm not sure
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 6: they're going to go for it, but we'll see what
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 6: they have to say. Keith, thank you for that call.
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 6: 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. Look, I think that one
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 6: of the ways that we can cut down on these
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 6: killers is to make sure that they have very gruesome deaths.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 6: They need to be sent to the hereafter immediately. and
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 6: it needs to be very public. That's how far we've
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 6: come as a country, and we're really going to have
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 6: to shock people back into reality because there's a lot
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 6: of evil violence out there. Look, I want to end
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 6: on a positive story here, and this is, of all places,
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 6: from Neyland Stadium. That's the University of Tennessee where the
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 6: great Tennessee Vols play football. And earlier today, before the
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 6: sun even rose over Knoxville, hundreds of ROT students. and
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 6: ROTC cadets gathered inside the stadium to run the stairs.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 6: They've been doing this. It's an annual thing that the
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 6: students do to honor the memory of those who lost
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 6: their lives in the a way to memorialize what happened
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 6: 25 years ago today. And so members of the Army ROTC,
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 6: Air Force, Marine Corps Reserves, as well as the University
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 6: of Tennessee Police Department attended the stair climb. And they
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 6: heard stories about great heroes of that day, like a
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 6: man by the name of Rick Rescorla.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 17: Mr.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 6: Rescorla was a decorated retired U.S. Army colonel. He was
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 6: working at Morgan Stanley. The firm had over 3,000 employees
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 6: in the World Trade Center complex. They were all told
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 6: to stay put on that day, but Rescorla ordered the
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 6: evacuation of every single employee. Many lives were saved as
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 6: a result of his actions, but Mr. Rescorla lost his
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 6: life in the attack. He was last seen, according to eyewitnesses,
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 6: going up the stairs, singing songs and and keeping people's
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 6: spirits as he got them out of the building. Are
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 6: you ready for this, ladies and gentlemen?
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 14: Mr.
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 6: Rescorla was responsible, personally responsible, for getting 2,700 Morgan Stanley
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 6: employees out of those buildings. So today, those ROTC cadets
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 6: heard the story of what happened on that day and
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 6: the bravery and the sacrifice of Mr. Rescorla. Many climbed
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 6: 110 flights of stairs this morning. Others climbed for 60
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 6: minutes in honor of the weight of the gear that
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 6: New York City firefighters carried into the buildings. And when
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 6: the order came out, the cadets stood up and they
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 6: filed out and they began running laps up and down
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 6: Neyland Stadium. It really was quite a remarkable scene. But again,
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 6: God bless these young men and God bless Neyland. the
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 6: officers who were telling those stories, because ultimately, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 6: there was much sorrow to talk about on that day,
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 6: but there were also many heroes and many acts of
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 6: courage and self-sacrifice that truly made America the greatest nation
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 6: on the face of the earth. And that is what
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 6: we remember on this 25th anniversary of the Muslim terrorist
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 6: attacks on the United States of America. Ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 6: it has been a busy week. We're going to be
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 6: right back at it on Monday. Enjoy your Friday. And
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 6: whatever you do, be sure to go to church this weekend, America.
