  Speaker 2: right down our telephone number. I want you to you
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: got to call it today, folks. This is an extraordinary
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: thing that happened yesterday in Texas. And I right out
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: of the gate, and you know me, I mean, we've
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: been doing this for a long time now, this this show,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: and uh yours. Surely I am not one to toot

• 1:17
  Speaker 2: you know, I you know we so so this is
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: going to sound like horn tooting, but it is not. There.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: There is no tooting going on in the studio right now.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: The only thing, the only thing, and the only thing
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I want to convey to you is that, well I
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: was right. You know, if you had a lot of
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: folks on social media. In the conservative sphere, you have
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: a lot of folks on like Fox News Channel and
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Newsmax and what's the one Nobody Want or one America
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: News and uh so, a lot of those folks, even
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: in the conservative TV world, Well, it's going to be
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: an ail bider. It's gonna be we just don't know.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: And Trump may end up losing this one. No, oh not.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: On this radio program, ladies and gentlemen, on this radio program,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: we were able to call this race like we saw it.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: And it was very clear to me early on that
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: the voters of America have said enough is enough. And
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: we have seen this really illustrated in Louisiana with what happened.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, look at Bill Cassidy. These vote totals are
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: just insane. Look at what happened to Thomas Massey. Look
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: at what happened to the lawmakers in Indiana, the state senators.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, there is a movement afoot here. And for me,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: this is very exciting because what I see is everybody's
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: making this about Donald J. Trump. And don't get me wrong,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump, Yes, I mean, he's the leader of the party,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: he's the president of the United States. Yes, he's a
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: part of it. But the overarching message here, ladies and gentlemen,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: is that the American people, the voters, have said, we're
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: tired of the bs, We're tired of getting screwed, We're
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: tired of it, tired of it. And now there's some payback.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: And that's what happened last night. And there's a lot
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: of confusion right now, and I think a lot of
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: panic within the Republican Party leadership. By the way, the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: National Republican senatorial campaign last night came out and they
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: actually had to delete their anti Paxton tweets. They could
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: not even and by the way, this is Senator Tim Scott,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: you folks in South Carolina. Tim Scott could not even
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: bring it upon himself to mention the name Kin Paxton. Now,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: you can say what you want to about Kin Paxton,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: but the reality is that the good people of Texas,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: they know him better than anybody else, and by an
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: overwhelming majority, they decided that kN Paxton was was their guy.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, these vote totals are just I mean, I
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: think he won what ninety nine counties he won. I
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: think they're still counting a few votes here and there,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: but the guy almost won sixty four percent of the vote.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Sixty four percent of the vote, Ladies and gentlemen, what
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: does that tell you? It tells me people are fed up.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: They're just done. And I'm going to say some controversial
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: things today on this program, but they need to be said. Look,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: there's only one reason that voters sent President Trump back
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: to the White House for the third time, and the
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: reason why is to get our agenda across the finish line.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: It just so happens that President Trump going all the
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: way back to twenty five, you have to go all
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the way back in time. And this is an important thing.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: We've got a lot of new listeners to the program
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: and base everything we do here on act and also context,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: and the context of it is very clear to me
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: and hear me on this. The only reason that Donald
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Trump is the President of the United States, the only
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: reason is because establishment Republicans continued to stick it to
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: the base, to the grassroots every single election, generation after
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: generation after generation, and finally we the people said enough
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: is enough. And that's why Donald Trump got elected. The
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: first time Donald Trump. Nobody knew who Donald Trump was.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, well, we knew who he was, but politically,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: nobody knew. I mean, he hung out with a bunch
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: of Democrats. But Donald Trump said, what do you gotta lose?
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: It was a great question. So a lot of people
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: took a chance, and Donald Trump won that primary, He
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: won the election, he won the second term in office,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: but you know, they wouldn't let him serve. And then
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: along comes the third term, and you still have the establishment.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: And they thought they were they thought they were done
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: with Donald Trump. They thought they thought it was all over.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: They thought they had finally conquered Donald Trump. And along
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: comes Trump and he wins again. And the base of
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: the party is enraged right now. At the base, I'm sorry,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the leadership of the party is enraged right now. They
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: don't know what to do. They're horrifying, and everybody's predicting
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: doom and gloom. I will say, say what you want
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: to about Kim Oh oh, here's the headline. Well, DoD
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: did you hear this? His ex wife refused to vote
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: for him. Yeah, it was his ex wife. What were
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: you expecting? Jeez, come on, people, people are freaking well,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: he's gonna lose. He's a he's a flawed man who
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: among us is non flawed ladies and gentlemen. And by
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the way, when you go through and you know, all
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: of the accusations are slinging against Kim Paxton, all but
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: one of them didn't stick so and he paid some
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: sort of a fine. It looked like some sort of
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: a clerical error or some honest mistake. But again, the
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: people of Texas, you guys, have decided here and in
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: a pretty decisive manner. So I will say this that
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: every single Republican up on Capitol Hill, you guys, everybody's watching.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: They're watching. And I know this has angered some of
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: my tweets have really angered a lot of people in
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: senatorial leadership. And to that, I say good because I
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: like these people and I think they're good people. I
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: think they're honest brokers. But I also think that they're
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: beholden to the lobbyist and I think they're beholding a
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: party leadership and a lot of them just don't have courage.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: And that's a sad thing. And by the way, courage
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: in Washington, d c. Is a hard thing to come by.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: You know who has courage is Donald Trump. That man's
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: got courage. He's willing to say what needs to be said.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: But I want I want to talk just momentarily here
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: for the to the the remaining Republican senators up on
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Capitol Hill. The voters are ready to kick your butts
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: off right off of Capitol Hill. They're ready, and they've
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: already demonstrated they're willing to do it. It doesn't matter
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: if you've served in the Congress for seventy years or
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: seven years, they're coming after you. You've had your chance,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: all of you. And let me just say this, I'll
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: name names. Senator Mike Lee, Senator Ted Cruz. They're out
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: there in front of the cameras and they're bloviating and
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: talking about how you know this is unacceptable. We've got
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: to get the Save America Actor across the finished line.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Not once has Mike Lee or Ted ed Cruise called
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: for John Thune to be removed. Just takes a simple majority,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: that's all it takes. We've got a new the filibuster. Okay,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: what are you doing about that? You've been talking about that,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: You've been shouting about it for years. So what are
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: you doing about it? Ted Cruz, what are you doing
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: about it? Mike Lee, here's the reality, and this is
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: the reality, and I wish it wasn't the reality. But
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Senate Republicans are complicit in John Thune's efforts to stop
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: or slow down the Trump agenda. Period. But Todd, what
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: about No all of them, not a single Republican. We
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: went back and looked last night, doing show research, doing
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: show prep, wanted to make wanted to make sure that
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I had my ducks in a row in this story
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: because it's an important story. But not a single Republican
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: senator has called for Thune to be removed from power,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: not a what, not a one. They're not even willing
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: to call the guy out by name. That's how scared
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: they are. That's how scared they are. You know what
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: is interesting, when you step back and you analyze all
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: of this, you sort of get the narrative of what's
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: really going on in Washington. And the fact of the
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: matter is that these Republican senators, they have pledged their
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: allegiance not to you, not to the Constitution, not to
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump. They have pledged their allegiance to John Thune. Period.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: And that's why you have not heard a single Republican
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: senator call for the majority leader to be removed from power.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's really that simple. It's that simple, ladies
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen, and that is sad and is unfortunate. I
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: wish I didn't have to sit here and tell you
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: these things. I wish I could tell you that Republican
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: senators were rising up like today holding a press conference
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: on Capitol Hill, saying we heard you maybe having contrition
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: coming from John Cornyn instead of what was it? What
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: was the line from John Cornyn?
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Like what.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Only eight percent of you voted? Only eight percent of
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: you voted. Get it together, man. But you know why
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: he was all upset last night. I had nothing to
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: do with the fact that he's been serving what twenty
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: some odd years in the Senate. No, he's upset because
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: the gravy train just dried up. That's why he's upset.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: And I have look, I have no doubt John Cornyn,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: I'm sure, is a fine person. But the fact of
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: the matter is something happened to him upon Capitol Hill.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Something happened to all of these Republican senators. And it's
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: a sad thing. Doesn't have to be that way, but
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: that's the way it is. So, ladies and gentlemen, let
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: me just say, as we get ready to have a great,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: and I hope a rip roaring show, but I am encouraged.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: You know, Speaker by Johnson, we had him on the
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: show yesterday and he says, very matter of factly, that's
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: the House Republicans. They're going to not only keep the majority,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: they're going to add to their majority. And I believe that,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I truly do. I know we've got Iran and high
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: gas prices and grocery all of that stuff. I hear
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: you on that, but again, things are so devastatingly horrifying
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: on the Democrat side of the aisle. I don't see
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: them being able to overcome that. You know, James Talafrico,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: who is the guy running. He's the Democrat nominee. They're
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: in Texas. They asked him, you know who he likes
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: to hang out with? You know, do you who do
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: you like to hang out with?
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Him?
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: The guy was, you know, most people say, I hang
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: out with my buddies. You know, we go to a
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: basketball game, maybe go to movies. I just love hanging
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: out with the transgender children. Okay, that's kind of creepy. Talafreco,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: that's the guy. Also, he's trying to come to terms
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: with his whiteness and his manhood, not necessarily in that order.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: They call him low t Tallarico. That's the other thing
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: they call him here. I'm not making this up, Pardner,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: you're laughing. I'm telling you that's what they call the
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: juh jeez. All right, we gotta take a break here.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Your reaction to what happened last night? And what do
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: you think the message?
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: You heard?
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: What I think the message was. But what message do
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: you think voters were trying to send to the nation
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: last night? Nine oh one two six zero five, nine
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: two six. We're gonna open up the phone lines today.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Coming up. We're gonna be talking to doctor John Fleming,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: running for the US Senate, and Louisiana. Steve Gill's going
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: to be here, publisher of TriStar Daily dot com, and
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: the great Newsmax columnist Windy Patrick. This is the Todd
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Sterns Show.
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: Hey, guys, quick, heads up. This is actually a big one.
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: We're saying goodbye to something that's helped thousands of families
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: over the US, the Patriot Power Generator, one of the
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: best selling solar generators of twenty twenty five is officially
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: being retired, and the reason they've just released something even better.
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: It's called the Patriot Power Generator two two zero zero
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: X and this is their most powerful model yet. It's
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: built for real life situations, storms, outages, emergencies when you
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: need power the most. To launch it, they're doing something
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: pretty crazy right now. You can get five hundred dollars
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: off the generator. Plus they're including two free solar panels,
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: so you can double your charging power right out of
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: the box. They're also throwing in a heavy duty roll
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: in go kart, an extended three year warranty, and if
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: you're a senior or a veteran, you can save an
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: additional two hundred dollars. And here's the part that really
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: stands out, because they offer a payment plan. You can
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: get started today for just two hundred and ninety nine
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: dollars and its ships as soon as tomorrow. But this
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: is a limited launch offer. It's first come, first served,
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: and these kinds of deals don't stick around, especially with
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: how unpredictable power outages have been lately. So if you've
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: ever thought about having backup power for your home, now's
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: the time to do it. Stay safe, stay prepared and
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: don't wait until the lights go out. Go to Starnsprepper
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: dot com right now to take advantage of this limited
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: time offer.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, we have got a lot of dirt
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: on tall Rico. This guy low T tall Rico. Dude,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. The guy says he's coming to terms
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: with his masculinity and his whiteness. I don't know who's
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: going to be doing the you know, hosting the first
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: debate between Paxton and tallar Rico, but I hope they
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: invite me to do because my very first question will be,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: mister tall Rico, have you come to term, sir, with
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: your manhood? That would be my first question. Let's go
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: to the bones nine oh one two six zero five
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: nine two six. We will start today in clear Lake City, Texas.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Mike listening to us on Patriot Talk nine twenty. All right, Mike,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: what what happened last night?
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: Well, first of all, I want to just say, welcome
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: back once again. You're a breath of fresh air on
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: the radio. Thank you. Two months ago we actually talked
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: is when Paxton was on the short list for Attorney General,
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: and I told you that if that would have happened,
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: Cornan would not beat tall Ico because the Paxton base
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: would not show up for Cornon. The only way to
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: keep that seat red was to nominate Paxton. Also told
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: you that with or without Trump's endorsement, Paxton wins. Even
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: if Trump was the endorsed corn And Paxton's still gonna
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: win by five to ten points. And if Trump actually
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: did endorse Paxton, he would win in a landslide. But
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: I have to admit I did not see an almost
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: thirty point margin coming. I had no idea it was
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: going to be that much of a landslide. But that
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: just goes to show you here in Texas, the establishment
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: is history. We're voting for the candidates to put America
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: first and just let the chips fall where they may.
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: Trump endorsed Baxton landslide. Trump endorsed Middleton landslide. Both French,
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: the railroad commissioner, he's mag He didn't get Trump's endorsement
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: because it's just a state, state level position, but he's
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: all about mag and the America first. He put that
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: in all of his you know, campaigns, literature and so forth.
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: He won. So you know, all three of the anti
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: establishment candidates won. The only establishment candidate that wanted our
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: local Harrison County Republican chair, Cindy Siegel, she won Don
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: Hooper laws but three out of four.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: No, it's not. And I will say this just a
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: slight correction. Actually Trump did not endorse Middleton, but his
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: senior Trump senior advisor was boots on the ground and
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: really doing a lot of social media push for him.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: We actually had Middleton on the show yesterday and I
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: like the guy. I mean, he's the real deal. He
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: says what's on his mind. And I was I had
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: no doubt that he was. He was gonna win yesterday
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: just based on what he said. And you know, Mike,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: I think you know the folks in Texas. For me,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: it was about paying attention to the rural communities and
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: because ultimately that's the base of our party, not the
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: big cities, but the rural communities. And it was very
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: clear they're done with the establishment.
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: Well, got stand corrected on Middleton. See that's what Keith
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: takes is rid Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, especially Houston, which
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: we just lived like our clear Lake borders, Houston city limits.
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: You know, it's all blue, it's deep blue. It's the
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: rest of the state that keeps Texas red. And that's
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: the concern we have here is demographics. There's more and
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: more people move from the east and west coast or
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: from other countries. That's when the pendulum is beginning to move.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was Look, and that's the whole point
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: about immigration. I hate to cut you off by because
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: the computer is about to cut us off, but that's
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: the whole point about illegal immigration. The point was to
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: dilute Republican votes in red states. And that's why when
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: you go back and look at the at where the
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: illegals were placed in red states like Tennessee and Texas
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: for example, Georgia, it all, it all makes sense. All Right,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: we got to take a break here, opening up the
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: phone lines this hour nine oh one two six zero
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. What's your take on what happened
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: last night? This is the toddst Show. All Right, this
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: guy at tall Rico, you know he ran in twenty
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: twenty two, who was running for office, and he said
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: he was running an anti meat campaign. Who does that?
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Who does that in the state of Texas where even
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: the vegans are actually meat eaters. I mean, if we're
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: going to be real for we get real in this program.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Even the vegetarians eat brisket in Texas and you know
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: who you are. But anyway, the guy said, yeah, I'm
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: running a meatless campaign. Does that go back to the
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: banhood thing? Or is that no? Oh this was Bristan, No,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: he's yeah. He was only buying from vegan, vegan products
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: from vegan owned businesses. I I just don't know. Would
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: you think that the good people of Texas, the lone
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: star state, would elect a vegan to the US Senate?
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: All hat and no tofu if you ask me, let's
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: go to the phone lines nine oh one two six
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six Alan in Gainesville, Georgia, w
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: dun our great affiliate. There, Hi, Allen, what's on your
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: mind today?
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: Hey?
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: God, I just wanted to call in and tell you
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: how thrilled I was with what happened in Texas last night.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: And I'm so thankful that your voice that that tells
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: it like it is and you had to you had
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: the uh, I don't know what you want to call it.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: The Cajones, sir, the men parts you.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: I loved it when you call them out this just
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: a little earlier. You know, you name names, you know,
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: and I think that's what it's going to take. But
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: I don't know that they can be actually shamed into
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: doing anything but the real threat of being primaried in
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: an example that was made last night. I hope it
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: puts the fair of God in them.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: You know, I do too, Alan, And I hate it
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: because I'm sure you know, these are not horrible, you know,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: evil human beings. These are individuals who are bought and
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: paid for by the lobbyist, by all the big money
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: special interest groups, by by Republican Party leadership, and they've
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: been sucked into this weird world. And we've got to
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: put a stop to that, and we've got to destroy
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: that world. And that's that's why there's been so much
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: pushback against the President's agenda with these people.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, and I'll thank you again.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: My pleasure out Look, I love it, and you know,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: we have a lot of fun on this program, but
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: you know, we've got it. We have to call people out.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: And I don't work off anybody's talking points. Nobody's slow
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: and me cash under the table, not that I'm mind.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't mind that, but they don't do that. And
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: that's okay, you know, because again I you know, I
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: think that every person who has been provided the opportunity
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: to talk to an audience, whether it be on TV
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: or on radio or a podcast, I think you have
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: a responsibility to be honest with your your audience. And
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: unfortunately a lot of hosts are not doing that right now,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: and it's caused a lot of chaos, and I think
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: it's really angered a lot of people. And you may
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: not agree with what I have to say, but by golly,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: you know that's my opinion. So Alan, God bless you,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Thank you for the call. Things are the kind words.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Paul in Gainesville, Georgia, w DU and Hi, Paul,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
• 23:44
  Speaker 9: Hey? I am very very happy with the results for
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: the election last night. However, I believe we have a
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: problem because those that vote in the primary are typically
• 23:55
  Speaker 9: politically astute, and our problem in November will get that
• 24:00
  Speaker 9: are not politically astute out of the polls to vote
• 24:04
  Speaker 9: for MAGA.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Paul, this is an interesting thing you brought up, and
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: I believe John Cornyn in his remarks last night, he
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: was trying to make the argument only eight percent of
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Republicans went out to vote regardless, and I don't know
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: what the official percentages are. That's what he said last night.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: But I will say this, it certainly appeared to be
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: from all indications, at least early voting totals historic numbers,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: and I think we are going to see those numbers
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: stay high as we go into the election cycle.
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: Here.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: I just don't I really don't see. And we're going
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: to go through some of the stuff James Tallerico has
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: done and said, Paul, I'm going to be genuinely shocked
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: if this guy, if this guy wins in Texas.
• 24:50
  Speaker 9: Well, No, I believe he'll lose in Texas, but I
• 24:53
  Speaker 9: mean across.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: I see what you're doing.
• 24:56
  Speaker 9: Yes, think that Trump is Trump's Magna Republican. Some voters
• 25:01
  Speaker 9: very well in the primaries, but he's going to have
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: a tough time getting them all out in the general
• 25:07
  Speaker 9: election because they're not they're not knowledgeable about all the
• 25:10
  Speaker 9: things he's done and all the politics. They hear a
• 25:13
  Speaker 9: lot of negative ads and they either won't vote, or
• 25:16
  Speaker 9: won't won't vote, or we'll probably just stay home.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Paul, have you heard of this, Well, there's a medical
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: condition involved here. It's called and I don't know if
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: you've heard of this before. It's called darier Idis. Have
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: you heard of that? Darier Idis?
• 25:31
  Speaker 9: Yes, yes, I have a couple of relatives with that.
• 25:34
  Speaker 9: And it's just hard to get it, hard to fix.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Well, it is, but here's the problem. It afflicts both
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: establishment Republicans and Maga Republicans. And if their candidate does
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: not get the nod, well, they come down with a
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: raging case of the dairy dairier Idis and then I'll
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: go vote I'll like you to day. And we can't.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: We can't do that. It just that's what kills me
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: about the Republicans and that Look, I live, Paul, Paul,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I live in Memphis, and our Republicans here are not
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: as conservative as I would like them to be. And
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: that's okay, okay, I mean it's this is not some
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: unique thing. But but it doesn't matter if they have
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: an R after their name and they win the primary,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: and that's that, I have a choice between an R
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: and a D. By golly, I'm voting for the R
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: even if they are a you know, a moderate Republican,
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: because we just can't let the Democrats win.
• 26:29
  Speaker 9: But we got to get him out in November.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how do we do that? How do we do that, Paul.
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: We keep pounding about what the Democrats are doing. We
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: keep pounding it over and over and over about what
• 26:43
  Speaker 9: they're doing to our country.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Now it's it is a and we're going to do
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: that on this show. We are, but we have got
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: to make sure that everybody is on board. And like
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: for example, Texas and I'm look, I'm glad to hear
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: John Corny coming out and saying he's going to vote
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: for you know, he's going to support the Republican ticket,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: and I would like to believe him. I certainly hope
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: there's no sabotaging there. But you know, if we're able
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: to do that, I think that, you know, we're going
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: to be We're going to be just fine. But we've
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: got to get everybody on the same page. And right now,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: they're just going to be a lot of butt herd
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: establishment Republicans and they will try to throw They will
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: try to throw the election, no doubt about that.
• 27:25
  Speaker 9: Thank you very much, Paul.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Thank you all right. Nine oh one two six zero
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. Our telephone number, that's nine oh
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six. So I
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: want to play some audio. This is James Tallerco and
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: This is his advice, his take on the border, which
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: by the way, has been one of the great success
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: stories during this Trump ternment office. But here's what tall
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Ico says, we really need to be rethinking our position
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: on the border. Cut Ten plays, I've.
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: Always said that our southern should be like our front porch.
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: There should be a welcome mat and a lock on
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: the door, Meaning we can both welcome immigrants who want
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: to come here and live the American dream, who want
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: to contribute to our economy, who want to contribute to
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: our communities, make us richer and stronger, as immigrants have
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: always done throughout American history, and we can keep out
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: people who mean to do us harm. We can know
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: who's trying to come into our country. We can have
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: an orderly, sane immigration system that keeps us all safe,
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: that promotes public safety, just like you do at your
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: own home. Many people, especially in Texas, we're hospitable. We're
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: the friendly state in Texas. We'll give a neighbor, you know,
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: the shirt off our back. But we also have a
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: right to know who's coming into our home. We note,
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: we have a right to know why they're there and
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: what their intentions are. We can be both hospitable and
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: keep everybody safe at the same time. Our opponents don't
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: want people to know that you can do both, because
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: they rely on using this issue of immigration to grandstand
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: to say that, you know, it's a choice between public
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: safety and welcoming immigrants. And the truth is that has
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: always been a false choice throughout American history, and we
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: need leaders who are going to do both secure the
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: border and create a path with a citizenship for the
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: folks who have been here for a long time and
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: who have been contributing to this country.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: All right, there you have Tall Rico wants the border
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: to be just like a big old front porch put
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: out there does roll out the welcome Matt, that's what
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: he says. Oh, here's the one where he's talking about
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: his whiteness. Said, there's no way he's really coming to
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: terms with his wife. Oh yes, he's coming to terms
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: with his whiteness. Ladies in general, and take a listen
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: a God eleven.
• 29:40
  Speaker 10: For me, pathetic voices like Jesus have helped me reckon
• 29:43
  Speaker 10: with my own whiteness, my own masculinity, my own certainty,
• 29:48
  Speaker 10: my own ego. It's a never ending process and it's
• 29:52
  Speaker 10: a painful process.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Is that, Parker, turn your microphote on. I know you're
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: a big basketball guy, and that's what you want to do.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: I want to be a coach or a broadcast sports broadcaster,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: and you do a lot of the basketball clinics. Here,
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering, is that him basically saying that, you know,
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: the reason why he can't be a basketball star is
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: because he's a white guy.
• 30:13
  Speaker 11: I mean, he's totally ashamed of it. He's totally ashatered.
• 30:18
  Speaker 11: I can't I can't understand it.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't get this. And I'm fairly certain
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: that Jesus did not tell him to be ashamed of
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: his whiteness.
• 30:27
  Speaker 11: Absolutely not. I can confirm that.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Or is masculinity. What's that all about? That's even worse anyway,
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: So Tall Rico and again, can we just play this again.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: This is Tall Rico and he's speaking in a church.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: By the way, this guy professes to be a theologian
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: and a pastor, and he's a dangerous guy. But you
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: know from that standpoint, but take a listen again, a
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: cupleleven For me.
• 30:49
  Speaker 10: Prophetic voices like Jesus have helped me reckon with my
• 30:52
  Speaker 10: own whiteness. My own masculinity, my own certainty, my own ego.
• 30:58
  Speaker 10: It's a never ending cost and it's a painful process.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Wow, I don't recommend maybe just maybe trying some hot sauce,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: just a little dab initially, right, Maybe it's just start
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: with a smidge of hot sauce and then build your
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: your tolerance level up. Maybe instead of kale, he could
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: switch to I don't know, mustard greens, maybe some collards
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: on the side, just a thought. And I mean, the
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: guy is just pasty white. He does not look very healthy.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: My recommend it maybe hit the tanning salon, you know,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: or get a makeup artist and put on some bronzer.
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: I'm just hopefully offering some help for this guy. As
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: far as you know his masculinity. He is a thirty
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: seven year old man and cannot grow facial hair. I
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: don't know what to make of that. It's I wish
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: I did, but I don't. So here's the other part
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: of tall Rico that's just weird. So this guy back
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: in twenty two, he ran a meatless campaign. He was
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: running for the state house, and he announced that he
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: was declaring war on meat. He was anti meat, and
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: he said he would only buy vegan products and from
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: vegan businesses. I mean, that's it. He also, by the way,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: claims that the Bible affirms abortion and that God is
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: non binary. Tallarico is on record as saying there are
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: six genders. I just I don't know. It's just weird.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Then there was the question, the creepy question. Fox News
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: cover this when asked about something he loves other than
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: family and friends, he said, I just love trans kids.
• 32:50
  Speaker 12: I just love them.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Hey, ugh, creepy. I'm sorry. Who answers that question? Who
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: seriously who answers that? That is weird man? Weird. So anyway,
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: the meat thing, though, is what's going to get him,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: because I'm telling you right now, Texans they don't trust vegans.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: And I don't blame him. You guys have all that
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: great brisket in the hill country, and if you do
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: want to eat us, you know if look, I've got
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: nothing against vegans, just eat a salad.
• 33:32
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: But Texas is like cows, cattle, the long horns, right.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: And I want to go back to this this one
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: one truth, one fact about Texas. Do not underestimate the
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: power of the pit smoker. Do not do that because
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: again in Texas. Even the vegetarians eat brisket. It really
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: is that simple. I think that's going to be the
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: issue that ends up doing him. Men, all right, we
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: got to take a break here. Nine oh one two
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. That is our telephone number.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: By the way, this segment of the Todd Sterns Show
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: brought to you by our friends at Newsmax, and they
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: have a free social Security benefits report they want to
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: send you right now. There's a study out there seventy
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: percent of Americans are not getting the full benefits they deserve. However,
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: social security expert Michael Allen says there are five key
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: strategies to increase your social Security benefits by get this
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: by as much as one hundred and eighty eight thousand
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: dollars over a lifetime. It's remarkable. I want you to
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: write down this number, give them a call eight hundred
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: nine ninety six ninety. That's eight hundred nine ninety six ninety.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Will text you all the information right away, eight hundred
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: nine ninety six ninety text and TATA rates may apply.
• 35:02
  Speaker 10: We have, I think heard more and more issues of
• 35:05
  Speaker 10: animal welfare. I think not just because it's the right
• 35:08
  Speaker 10: thing to do and the moral thing to do, but
• 35:10
  Speaker 10: also it's, as all of you know, necessary to fight
• 35:13
  Speaker 10: climate change. It is now existential that we try to
• 35:16
  Speaker 10: reduce our meat consumption and that we try to respect
• 35:20
  Speaker 10: animals in all aspects of society. And so I am
• 35:23
  Speaker 10: proud to say that our campaign has officially become a
• 35:27
  Speaker 10: non meat campaign. So we we are only buying vegan
• 35:33
  Speaker 10: products from our local vegan businesses. Some of you may
• 35:37
  Speaker 10: know big nonas. They were little nonas and then they
• 35:40
  Speaker 10: opened up brick and mortars and the other big nonas.
• 35:42
  Speaker 10: But we just got our pizza from there today. And
• 35:44
  Speaker 10: so the point is that I think all of us,
• 35:48
  Speaker 10: not just policymakers, but everyone has to take personal responsibility
• 35:52
  Speaker 10: in this effort.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Look, we respect, we respect the meat. Here in Memphis,
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: we just smother it with dry Let's go to the
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: phone lines. Melissa and Texas listening to us on Patriot
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Talk nine to twenty. Melissa, what do you make of
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: this tallar Rico guy?
• 36:09
  Speaker 12: Yeah, Hi, good afternoon. I have to say I'm so sorry.
• 36:12
  Speaker 12: He's an idiot and everything he says just creeps me out.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: And it doesn't help.
• 36:18
  Speaker 12: That I work in one of the most democratic actions
• 36:23
  Speaker 12: of Houston and my employer has Paalarico signs all over
• 36:28
  Speaker 12: their yard.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my gosh.
• 36:31
  Speaker 12: Like I literally get to work and it takes all
• 36:33
  Speaker 12: I have in my mouth sit and not stick my
• 36:35
  Speaker 12: foot in my mouth.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Melissa, do you see any path to victory for this
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: guy in Texas?
• 36:43
  Speaker 13: Oh?
• 36:43
  Speaker 12: God, I hope not.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: The guy doesn't eat meat. I don't don't. I just
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: don't trust men who don't eat meat.
• 36:50
  Speaker 14: I'm sorry, Now, how can you.
• 36:52
  Speaker 12: Be from Texas and not eat meat? Like you said earlier,
• 36:55
  Speaker 12: We're all about our brisket and our barbecue and everything else.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: So I don't what the name of mesquite and post
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: don't are you people do it? Sorry?
• 37:05
  Speaker 12: Exactly, no, God, God help us if he wins, because yeah,
• 37:10
  Speaker 12: I'm I hope that's not the case.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: So, Melissa, were you surprised. Were you surprised by the
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: the defeat that the margins of victory for Ken Paxton?
• 37:22
  Speaker 12: Yes, but I am so glad that he pulled it out.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Melissa. You hang in there, and my recommendation is just
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: showing to work with some brisket. I don't know that
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: might trigger some of the Tallerico folks.
• 37:38
  Speaker 12: I love it, Todd, and I'm so glad you're back.
• 37:40
  Speaker 12: And I'm so glad you're doing well well.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Thank you for that, Melissa. I have to cut back
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: on the brisket, but you know I'm with you guys
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: in spirit.
• 37:49
  Speaker 12: Thank you so much, and have a great day.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: All right, Thanks Melissa, thanks for calling. Nine oh one
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six is our telephone over.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine to six. Hey.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: By the way, folks, head over to Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books, Amillion,
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: wherever you buy your books online right now in pre
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: order my brand new book. It'll be out this summer.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: It's called The Golden Age How Trump Saved America. I
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: want you to read this book. I'm very, very proud
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: of this project. Well over three hundred pages, and folks,
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: there's going to be a lot of I will promise
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: you a lot of laughter in this book. All right,
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: hang tight, Hour two of the Big Show coming up.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: We'll be a right back. Everybody here.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: America's conservative Blowtorch's.
• 39:05
  Speaker 11: Starts all right.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: I did not believe this, and I reached out a
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: couple of folks I know in Texas. Hello, everybody, welcome
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: to the touch S Turns radio show. You know, one
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: of the big problems they've had in Texas has been
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: the rise of Islam, and the Islamists have been moving
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: in Mosque, going up all over the place, and it
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: is a huge, huge problem. Of course, this is something
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: that many states around the nation have been dealing with
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: as well, but it's sort of weird in Texas where
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: they have so many Baptist and Methodists. I mean even
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: the Catholics are Methodists in Texas. Anyway, there is a
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: big rally being planned next Tuesday in Frisco, Texas by
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: these Muslims, a guy by the name of Zuel Mohammad,
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: and they're declaring war on red decks. This is not
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: going to end well, I'm afraid, mister Mohammad says, are
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: you tired of hearing low class people blame your culture
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: for their problems? You should be attending the rally against Rednecks,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: an evening dedicated to celebrating the contributions of our local
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Asian community and letting a bunch of trailer park trash
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: yokels know what the world really thinks about them. Wow,
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: So that's going on and we'll keep you updated on that.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: But apparently these people are also anti Ken Paxton and
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: that could get ugly pretty quickly. But this is what's
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: happening in our country. And I'm not surprised when they
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: use terms like, you know, redneck. You know, people think redneck.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: I know they're using it as a slur. But in
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: the South when I was growing up, if you had
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: a redneck, that was a sign of respect because that
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: meant you were working the fields, you were work, you
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: were a farmer, you were somebody working with your hands outside.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: That was the sign of respect. But they're not using
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: it that way. And you know, the term what trailer
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: park trash yokels? I mean, what was it? Obama bitter clinger,
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton, basket of irredeemable deplorables. Joe Biden called us
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: the dregs of society. Unbelievable. All right, nine oh one
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six hour telephone number.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: I want to go right away to the Patriot Mobile
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: newsmaker line honored to have uh the state Treasurer of
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: the great State of Louisiana, doctor John Fleming with us.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: Also former congressman and has been on our show many
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: times in the past. Doctor Fleming, hope you're doing well today.
• 41:43
  Speaker 13: Yes, Todd, great, thanks for having me on once again.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: Well, doctor, we had you on the NEWSMAC show yesterday
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: and we appreciate you coming on. I prefer having great
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: conversations on the radio, and we're so thankful that you
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: decided to hang out with us. And I gotta I
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: gotta get your bench on. What happened to your next
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: door neighbors over there in Texas. What's your take on
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: that election last night?
• 42:07
  Speaker 13: Well, I think it was predictable. Ken Paxton has been
• 42:13
  Speaker 13: a real warrior when it comes to conservative causes, especially
• 42:19
  Speaker 13: during the Biden administration. Of course, Senator Cornyn has been
• 42:24
  Speaker 13: really your classic establishment Republican, not a bad guy at all,
• 42:30
  Speaker 13: but not really fighting, you know, on the fighting edge
• 42:34
  Speaker 13: of the battles that were in the first Trump administration
• 42:37
  Speaker 13: which I was in or fighting against the Biden administration
• 42:42
  Speaker 13: and all of the crazy excesses that were going on there.
• 42:47
  Speaker 9: And so.
• 42:49
  Speaker 13: I do think that Trump's endorsement of Ken Paxton definitely
• 42:54
  Speaker 13: weighed in on it, but I think Ken Paxton was
• 42:57
  Speaker 13: on his way to victory anyway. I think that at
• 43:00
  Speaker 13: least in the South, in Texas and in Louisiana, states
• 43:03
  Speaker 13: like that, we're just sick and tired of the establishment
• 43:07
  Speaker 13: Republicans who too often go along to get along, who
• 43:10
  Speaker 13: really don't take risks, who really don't show courage when
• 43:14
  Speaker 13: it comes to conservatism.
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: You see, I think you're onto something there. And again,
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: the margins of the victories there's I think that's really
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: where the story is, not that they want, you know,
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: not that these lawmakers lost their seats, but by how much.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, these are incumbent senators. This is something very unusual.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, you've been in politics for a long time.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: You know, it's hard to unseat, especially you know, city
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: United States senators.
• 43:40
  Speaker 13: Yes, and of course Senator Cassidy was in a three
• 43:44
  Speaker 13: way race with myself in Letlow, Julia let lo and
• 43:49
  Speaker 13: we eliminated him. And of course Julia let Looe and
• 43:51
  Speaker 13: myself are the two remaining who were going to the runoff.
• 43:56
  Speaker 13: Which is really an interesting parallel to what happened in
• 43:59
  Speaker 13: Texas last night because Unlike Paxton and Cornyn, this situation
• 44:07
  Speaker 13: is reversed. Julia Letloe has the endorsement of President Trump,
• 44:11
  Speaker 13: and there's a reason why that occurred that I'll be
• 44:14
  Speaker 13: happy to explain. But I'm actually the Ken Paxton in
• 44:18
  Speaker 13: this race. I'm the one who has the consistent conservative
• 44:21
  Speaker 13: voting record, a Freedom Caucus founder in the House of Representatives,
• 44:28
  Speaker 13: I have fought those battles such as Ken has fought,
• 44:31
  Speaker 13: particularly in terms of some of the issues relative to
• 44:37
  Speaker 13: religion and other things, religious liberty and all the cultural
• 44:40
  Speaker 13: things that we've been battling for years.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: I want to get to the endorsement first, but I
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: think we need to set the stage for why it's
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: a little troubling what would happen here. So you say
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: that you are the true Maca Republican, and I see
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: that on your campaign imaging. What is it about Julia
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: Leutlow that does not make her a Maca Republican.
• 45:03
  Speaker 13: Well, first of all, she's never fought in any of
• 45:06
  Speaker 13: these battles, in any these cultural battles. In fact, she
• 45:11
  Speaker 13: was a big promoter of DEI diversity, equity, and inclusion.
• 45:15
  Speaker 13: While she in her pre House of Representatives position, she
• 45:20
  Speaker 13: was an administrator at a college here in Louisiana, and
• 45:25
  Speaker 13: she fought to actually grow DEI. Her voting record has
• 45:30
  Speaker 13: been nothing close to what we would consider conservative. My
• 45:34
  Speaker 13: voting record over eight years in the House of Representatives
• 45:37
  Speaker 13: clearly very conservative. As I said, I was one of
• 45:39
  Speaker 13: the founders of the House Freedom Caucus. And one of
• 45:42
  Speaker 13: the big issues we have today is when it comes
• 45:46
  Speaker 13: to this climate ideology, which President Trump declares as a scam.
• 45:51
  Speaker 13: We have something in Louisiana called carbon capture and sequestration,
• 45:55
  Speaker 13: which is dumping toxic carbon dioxide in the ground, paying
• 46:00
  Speaker 13: these companies a large amount of money coming right out
• 46:04
  Speaker 13: of our national debt, which is now forty threellion dollars.
• 46:07
  Speaker 13: She's all for that. I'm totally opposed to it. I
• 46:11
  Speaker 13: agree with President Trump on DEI. I agree with President
• 46:14
  Speaker 13: Trump on these climate change ideologies, these Green New Deal scams,
• 46:19
  Speaker 13: and Julia Letloe actually supports them.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: So how did she end up getting the President's endorsement?
• 46:27
  Speaker 13: Really early on, maybe two or three years ago, Jeff Landry,
• 46:31
  Speaker 13: who is now our governor, worked very hard with his
• 46:34
  Speaker 13: cronies in Washington that are sort of satellites in the
• 46:38
  Speaker 13: Trump campaign, and they worked to get that endorsement for her.
• 46:42
  Speaker 13: You know, President Trump does hundreds of endorsements and he
• 46:45
  Speaker 13: relies on other people to vet them, and I was
• 46:51
  Speaker 13: totally blocked from making contact with him until the endorsement
• 46:54
  Speaker 13: was done. Then he found out about me, he reached out
• 46:58
  Speaker 13: to me. We had a great conversation. I reminded him
• 47:01
  Speaker 13: who I was. I'd been his deputy chief of staff
• 47:04
  Speaker 13: in the first administration for ten months, and he said, well, look,
• 47:07
  Speaker 13: you're fantastic. He says, why didn't you call me? And
• 47:10
  Speaker 13: I said, Sir, I attempted a number of times, and
• 47:13
  Speaker 13: people around you blocked me at every turn. And so
• 47:17
  Speaker 13: again that was an operation run by Jeff Landry, who,
• 47:21
  Speaker 13: for whatever personal reasons, he has wanted her to be
• 47:25
  Speaker 13: the one to displace Cassidy. But she's again, she's not
• 47:29
  Speaker 13: the prototypical MAGA America first candidate and really has a
• 47:33
  Speaker 13: very thin resume. Otherwise, she's never passed a bill into law,
• 47:37
  Speaker 13: she's never been on the forefront and taken the kind
• 47:40
  Speaker 13: of risks that are necessary to show the courage you
• 47:44
  Speaker 13: need in this arena of conservatism.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering about Speaker Johnson. Of course, you know, Louisiana,
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: his home state of y'all had any conversations.
• 47:53
  Speaker 13: We've spoken, and he's not endorsing either party. You know,
• 47:57
  Speaker 13: I was his predecessor, actually helped him get elected behind
• 48:03
  Speaker 13: me as I went to the Trump administration. And he's
• 48:06
  Speaker 13: done a great job as our speaker, not necessarily voting
• 48:12
  Speaker 13: as conservative as I might. But you know, when you're
• 48:14
  Speaker 13: a speaker, you really have a lot of things you
• 48:18
  Speaker 13: have to do in order to get bills through. So really,
• 48:25
  Speaker 13: despite the endorsement settings and things like that, I think
• 48:28
  Speaker 13: the people of Louisiana don't want to send another person
• 48:33
  Speaker 13: like Senator Cornyan who's there for forty years and really
• 48:38
  Speaker 13: just has milk toast appetite when it comes to getting
• 48:42
  Speaker 13: conservative causes through, and we have so many, like the
• 48:45
  Speaker 13: Save Act is so important. We need that to maintain
• 48:49
  Speaker 13: election integrity. But we've got a fight. We have to
• 48:52
  Speaker 13: take risks in order to make that happen. And I
• 48:55
  Speaker 13: look forward to working with President Trump and making that
• 48:58
  Speaker 13: happen when I get there.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: Looking back of the vote totals, clearly let Lowe had
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: a pretty significant percentage there, what almost forty five percent
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: of the vote. Then you coming in second place and
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: Bill Cassidy with barely almost twenty five percent of the vote.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: What is it going to take to convince the voters?
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: You know, they see that Trump endorsement. Are there is
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: there any rumblings that the President may look at endorsing
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: someone else in the in the in the runoff or
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: is that just a done deal?
• 49:31
  Speaker 13: Well, I can't. I can't predict what the President might
• 49:34
  Speaker 13: do or say. I certainly can't read his mind, and
• 49:38
  Speaker 13: I do know that he can be flexible. He's he's
• 49:41
  Speaker 13: switched endorsements, he's actually co endorsed, So I don't know
• 49:45
  Speaker 13: what he will do in this setting. He did make
• 49:48
  Speaker 13: mention one of his last statements before the primary election
• 49:53
  Speaker 13: that he was of course condemning Bill Cassidy, as he
• 49:56
  Speaker 13: has many times, and he referred back to two great
• 49:59
  Speaker 13: people in the Obviously I would be one, and so
• 50:03
  Speaker 13: I think he looks favorably on me in my campaign
• 50:06
  Speaker 13: and he understands that we're America First and would be
• 50:10
  Speaker 13: a great ally of his. You know, we did a
• 50:13
  Speaker 13: poll right after the primary election and it came out
• 50:17
  Speaker 13: of dead heat. It's a tie according to our poem,
• 50:20
  Speaker 13: and we think that we picked up a lot of
• 50:25
  Speaker 13: voters who didn't necessarily vote in the first round.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: I will say this, I was surprised when the president,
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: you know, came out and endorsed only because I knew
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: you from your years in Congress of course with the
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: founding of the Freedom Caucus, and I mean, your conservative
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: credentials are impeccable. So let's see how all this plays out.
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: It's a shame that politics, you know, politics on the
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: state level is pretty dirty, it's pretty conniving at times.
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: So let's just hope things. Let's hope the president takes
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: another look at all of this.
• 50:58
  Speaker 13: Yeah, thank you Todd that because honestly, had I had
• 51:02
  Speaker 13: an equal opportunity, I don't think there'd be any question
• 51:05
  Speaker 13: that I would have the endorsement. But again, when you
• 51:09
  Speaker 13: have politicians who are looking out for their own political interest,
• 51:13
  Speaker 13: in their own political future, and they're backed with a
• 51:16
  Speaker 13: lot of what we call dark money that's in play
• 51:21
  Speaker 13: that of course, Jeff Landry controls, you come out with
• 51:25
  Speaker 13: some of these things. But I can just tell you
• 51:27
  Speaker 13: around the state, people are recognizing that I'm the prototypical
• 51:31
  Speaker 13: America first candidate, not Julia Letlowe, and I've in fact
• 51:36
  Speaker 13: recently challenged her to three debates, so we could bring
• 51:39
  Speaker 13: all that out, and she refuses to debate me, because.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a red flag, doctor Fleming. If if your
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: opponent's not going to debate, I got big problems with that.
• 51:51
  Speaker 13: Yes, yes, all.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: Right, doctor Fleming. We're gonna have to leave it there.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: But again, I want to give out the website here,
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: Fleming Fleming Senate Campaign. That's Fleming senatecampaign dot com, and
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: you'll be able to find all you need to know
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: about doctor Fleming and his platforms and his positions. Doctor Fleming,
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: we wish you the very best in the runoff. Good
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: luck to you, sir, fantastic, Thank you so much. Don
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: good to see all right, yeah, good to see you
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: as well, doctor John Fleming. And that guy really is
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: a rock solid conservative, folks, And it did look I
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: like I like let Lo. I think she's a very
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: great person. She's been a regular on the program as well.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: But if you're gonna if you're gonna compare the the
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: political history of these two candidates, John Fleming clearly is
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: the more conservative pro Trump candidate in the race. And
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: again we'll we'll get Julia Letlow back on and we'll
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: ask her about these things. And also, folks, maybe and
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this. It just
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: seems to me, but if you are running for any
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: sort of a public office you haven't, you should have
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: an obligation to debate your opponents. Period. One of the
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: things I'm really respecting here in Tennessee, we have a
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: new ninth congressional district that's been redistricted. There are four Republicans,
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: four or five Republicans running for that for that congressional seat.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: So far they have I think, had three or four
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: debates already across the district. And I respect that. It's
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of it's a lot of work, but the
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: voters need to know what you think and what you believe,
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: and the best way to do that is to sit
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: down and do a debate. All right, got to take
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: a break here. Nine oh one two six zero five,
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five,
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: nine two six. This is the Todd Stern Show. All right,
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: welcome back, everybody. Go to have you with us from
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: the Today Show. Lovely Helen, if you don't mind, I
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: need some I'm a bit parched. If you could grab
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: me some water. Downstairs, thank you? Uh? From the Today Show. No,
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: normally I get my own coffee, but I can't do
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: that when I anyway, otherwise we'd have dead air. So anyway,
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: USA Today here is not USA Today. The Today Show,
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: my apologies, is it time to bring back old school
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: chores for kids? And now apparently the internet is divided
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: over all of this and the Today Show exploring whether
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: or not young children should have a weekly job, whether
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: it's like doing the laundry, washing dishes or something of
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: that nature. And I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this.
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: I remember when when I was a youngster, you know,
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: I mean early on. I remember when I was a
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: youngster that we we had chores, you know, we had
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: things we had to do, and guys, if we could
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: just get all that fixed, thank you. So I'm just
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: curious if you had chores when you were growing up,
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: when you were a child, and do you did you
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: give your kids like assignmus Like for example, we had
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: to make sure that our beds were made. I mean
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: that was like a big deal in our house. The bed,
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: your bed had to be made, your room had to
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: be clean. So again I'm I don't know it's for
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: I just assumed that a lot of kids would still
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: have have jobs. And then the older we got, you know,
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: the more responsibility. For example, at dinner time, we would
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: have to clear the table and load the dishwasher, and
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: we would or take out the trash. When I became
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: a teenager, you know, it was mowing, mowing the grass. Parker,
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: I'm curious, did you have a I mean, you're not
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: all that old, but did you have chores growing up?
• 56:05
  Speaker 11: Yeah?
• 56:05
  Speaker 15: It kind of as you said, I kind of went
• 56:07
  Speaker 15: away as I got older, like less and less, which
• 56:10
  Speaker 15: sounds weird to say, but there were definitely chores.
• 56:13
  Speaker 11: Obviously, make your bed was a daily one. My younger
• 56:17
  Speaker 11: brother and I we would alternate who had to do
• 56:19
  Speaker 11: the dishes. That was kind of big one. Laundry was
• 56:21
  Speaker 11: a big one in our house.
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: I hated the dishes.
• 56:24
  Speaker 15: Yeah, we defied it. We would always fight over who
• 56:26
  Speaker 15: had whose turn was it? Actually, but the dishes and
• 56:29
  Speaker 15: laundry were the big ones in our house.
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: So, according to this one person writing on threads, my
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: dad sent me my chore list from when I was
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: a kid. He said, my dad said I had to
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: make the bed, I had to do the dishes, and
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: I had to empty the trash camp with specific days
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: for helping, doing the laundry and cleaning the bathroom. Oh god,
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: that's terrible. I have a housekeeper? Is that bad of me?
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: I do? I have somebody that comes and cleans. I
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: don't need to clean. So I'm curious, lady and gentlemen,
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: what about you? Is it time to bring back old
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: school chores? Put these kids to work? Nine oh one
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six oh. By the way,
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: do you pay your kids? Or is this part of
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: like you know, you know, I'm looking at this the
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: story from the Today Show? Is it time to bring
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: back old school chores for kids? Maybe that's one of
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: the reasons that the country's gone to hell in a handbasket.
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're raising the little spawns of Satan out there,
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: and I don't know. Maybe if they had it to
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: the dishes, they would be, you know, decent human beings.
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: But again, you know, when I was a kid, there
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: were expectations, and there were some things we did not
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: get an allowance. Or for example, if I mowed the grass,
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: I would get an allowance for something like that, But
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: if it was like you know, cleaning up the bathroom
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: or washing the dishes. Now, those were expectations, and my
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: dad simply explained it one day that you know what,
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: we put a roof over your head and food in
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: your belly, and this is what you're gonna do, or
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: we can charge your rent your call. So and that
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: was sort of old school about all of that. Let's
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: go to Og in North Carolina WTKV. All right, Og,
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: what do you think about this idea of bringing back
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: old chores.
• 58:29
  Speaker 16: Well, that's a good idea because it's five years old.
• 58:32
  Speaker 16: My first job was for a neighbor who was a
• 58:34
  Speaker 16: charter boat captain, and my job was to clamp the
• 58:38
  Speaker 16: tail of the fish on the board while he was
• 58:41
  Speaker 16: scale it and clean the fish.
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: That sounds like an unpleasant job, but it's a job.
• 58:47
  Speaker 16: Well, and then I wound up graduating. I kept telling
• 58:53
  Speaker 16: him I wanted to do. I told him that I
• 58:58
  Speaker 16: wanted to go out on his boat, and he said, no,
• 59:01
  Speaker 16: you can't because it's been commandeered by the coast Guard.
• 59:05
  Speaker 16: So as we got toward nineteen forty five and it
• 59:09
  Speaker 16: got to the point where the war was almost over,
• 59:11
  Speaker 16: he said, well, yeah, you can come round our boat
• 59:13
  Speaker 16: and clean it. But you have to pass a qualification test.
• 59:17
  Speaker 16: You have to stand on the battle of my boat
• 59:19
  Speaker 16: and put a line around your waist and jump in
• 59:22
  Speaker 16: the water, and before you chin gets wet, you have
• 59:25
  Speaker 16: to have a bowling tied. And at that point, yeah,
• 59:31
  Speaker 16: I had to have a bowlin. I had to tie
• 59:33
  Speaker 16: knot to a bowl and a loop around my waist
• 59:35
  Speaker 16: so that I could get rescued. And as a result,
• 59:39
  Speaker 16: I wound up working on charter boats for the next
• 59:41
  Speaker 16: twenty years.
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: Is that right? Wow?
• 59:44
  Speaker 16: Ye, So I'm still involved. I'm still involved in boating.
• 59:48
  Speaker 16: I'm still involved with the Coast Guard resili.
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: Did they pull you out? How did that work out?
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: I mean there you are fine? Yes, sounds like that,
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: I guess. So it's well, I don't that makes me
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: sort of feel pretty low on the totem pole with
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: having to take out the trash.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 16: You get a chuck around.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: That's a great story. All right, thanks, thanks og. All right,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: there you go, give us a call if you think
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: it's time to bring back old school chores. Nine oh
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six. I want
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: to go to our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Our good
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: buddy Steve gil the publisher of TriStar Daily dot com,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: joins us Steve, I'm curious, did you have like a
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: chore that your parents made you do back in the day.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 13: Oh.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 17: Absolutely, had three younger brothers, and we all had, you know,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 17: our chores. And then in addition to that, you know,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 17: I was mowing yards in the neighborhood. I had a
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 17: paper round at one point. Now, my dad was a
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 17: career Air Force spinder pilot, so we lived everywhere from
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 17: Anchorage to Miami. We were moving all the time. But
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 17: you had your chores at home, and then you need
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 17: to be hustling and scrambling out there try and earn.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 5: Some money, you know.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: I I love that idea. We there was my dad
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: was an electrician and so he worked in this huge
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: industrial park and one summer, I guess we were I
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: was like thirteen or something, and he came home and
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: he had this huge box of like snicker bars and
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: things like that, and he said, guys, if you show
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: up to me and my brother, if you show up
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: at the work site, you know during snack time or
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: lunch hour or whatever, you should sell these and up
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: charge them. And you know, we made we made a
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: killing that summer doing that kind of stuff. But the
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: whole point was to get you into that entrepreneurship, you know,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: mentality and attitude.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 17: Well, and in sixth grade I sold cokes at the
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 17: UT football games, you know, carrying that trade of cokes
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 17: up and down the stairs, you know, selling toll drinks.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 17: But then I figured out that if you if you
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 17: poured a little bit of the coke out and you're
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 17: and you're calling them mixtures, all those guys that had
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 17: a little deck, dame, who's bottling their socks, you could
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 17: sell your trade quicker as mixers rather than cokes.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: Wow, what a great idea. Yeah, I'm shocked because I
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: thought already was teetotalers up that part of the state.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: But you know.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 17: Not during the bad seasons. That's if we drive you
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 17: to drink quicker than watching yourt football news games.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: Well there, well I hear you on that, absolutely, Steve Wow. Yesterday,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of people in the world of
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: politics seem to be shocked here at just the magnitude
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: of this loss. What do you read into what happened
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: in Texas yesterday?
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 17: Well, first of all, we'll be in mine too, by
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 17: the mainstream media, by the left and like there's any
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 17: real difference. The mag up voters, the Conservative Republicans have
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 17: not backed off from Donald Trump one inch. And we're
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 17: seeing that in race after race where he makes endorsements.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 17: That is the gold standard. It was in Texas, it's
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 17: been in Indiana, it's been all over the country. Was
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 17: one hundred and thirty seven and zero. And what we
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 17: saw in Texas was, again, don't challenge him.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 16: Particularly on policy.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 17: I mean, this isn't personality that people prefer Donald Trump's
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 17: personality to others. As you and I have talked, there's
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 17: some pieces of his personality I'm not a big fan of,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 17: but when you look at the policies, Macga is fully
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 17: one hundred percent behind him. And again, when you challenge
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 17: him on policy, you're going to lose. And we saw
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 17: that in Texas, not just in the corn and Paxton race,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 17: but in house races. We're seeing it all over the country.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 17: And the shame is we're passed the qualifying deadline in
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 17: some of these states to take out some of these rhinos.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 17: And I'm including Josh Holly, I'm including you know, obviously
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 17: John Thune. Some of these guys are not going to
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 17: be up for election for another two years. We need
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 17: to take them out then as well. And the ones
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 17: that are up this time, you know, we've already passed
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 17: the qualifying deadline in so many cases. So when people
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 17: are saying, let's primary them, I'm sorry, the dead line
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 17: is already passed. But for those that are up in
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 17: two years, don't forget remember in twenty eight because that's
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 17: going to be your first shot to remove some of
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 17: these guys from office. Didn't deserve to be removed, you know.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: Steve, I want to play this audio from Fox News
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: last night, going back to your point of how well
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: the president is doing. Here a cut seventeen please.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 18: Races and Senate races. This is his scorecard. Okay, he
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 18: has endorsed eight governors. Now, some of these races weren't
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 18: real closed. They have a lot of competition, but some
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 18: of them did. I mean, we saw what happened in
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 18: Louisiana the primary bill Cassidy. We saw what happened a
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 18: week ago tonight with Tom Massey and Kentucky, and now.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 11: We're seeing it again tonight.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 18: In Texas governor level, Trump endorsed eight. He won eight times.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 18: US House one hundred and one endorsed he won. Yeah, sorry,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 18: one hundred and one endorse in the House, and he
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 18: won one hundred and one. Let me put on the
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 18: pencil right here and show you this US Senate Sean.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 18: He has endorsed eight candidates, and prior to tonight he had
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 18: won eight times.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 16: And now you can.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 18: Take the endorsement from eight to nine in endorsed and
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 18: from eight to nine winner Ken Paxson was outspent nine
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 18: to one. Got the endorsement from Trump, got the endorsement
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 18: of Wesley Haunt, a congressman who got knocked out two
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 18: and a half months ago. And now we got to
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 18: set up at taxent of tel Rico. Many Republicans felt,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 18: if John Cornyn could win tonight, that he could be
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 18: an easy winner for Tula Rico. We'll never know that now,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 18: and a lot of Republicans felt that they could save
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 18: a lot of money to if Cornin won.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: But that did not happen. So your your reaction, your
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: reaction to that, Steve gill.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 17: Well, First of all, the fact that Cornyn and his
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 17: Republican Rhino did one hundred million dollars in that race,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 17: when there are a bunch of House races and Senate
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 17: races around the country that are crucial that that money
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 17: could make a difference in him. And we saw that
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 17: two years ago. You had Miss McConnell and the Rhinos
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 17: not directly into Senate races and places like Nevada and
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 17: others that we could have won if they put money there.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 17: Rather than trying to protect their Rhino buddies, they didn't
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 17: want Conservatives to win, and that costs US at least two,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 17: maybe three US Senate seats that we'd sure like to
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 17: have right now. The other thing is when we look
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 17: at Texas, keep in mind that Chip Roy also got
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 17: beat in the attorney general's race pretty handily by another
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 17: guy that Donald Trump had endorsed. So it's again across
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 17: the board that trump endorsement in a primary makes a
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 17: huge difference, actually the difference in most of these races.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 17: The question is will it translate into the fall, And
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 17: Trump's going to have to really be out there to
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 17: mobilize the MAGA voters to get out and the Rhinos
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 17: to see the danger of the just extremists. If the
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 17: Democrats are putting up whether it's in Maine, whether it's
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 17: in Texas to caul Rico or in Georgia with the
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 17: Atlanta mayor. I mean, you have the Democrats picking the
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 17: worst possible candidates ever. And Trump's going to have to
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 17: be out there, not just in primaries, but as we
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 17: had to the falls, making sure that turnout turns out
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 17: among conservatives, moderate Republicans and continue to bring those Latino
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 17: and Hispanic benis Waya expats and others to the polls
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 17: in November to win these racers all over the country.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, We're gonna have to do that. I mean, it's
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: just too dangerous when the candidates that they are putting
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: up across the nation, including here in the Memphis area
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: with Justin Pearson, who is just a radical, radical guy.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: It is it is too dangerous to stay home and
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: not vote. And that would be my concern in Texas,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: where you do have the establishment John Cornyn supporters who
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: are really really upset right now over what happened last night.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: But again, this goes back to twenty fifteen Steve, when
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: the grassroots of the party said we're just done. We're
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: done with people promising us things and never delivering. So
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: when Trump comes along and says, hey, what do you
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: got to lose, Give me a shot? They give him
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: a shot and he delivers on his promises. Well, you
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: know what, this is a new day for voters and
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: they feel emboldened. And I think this is I hope
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: that the establishment is receiving the message here that we're
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: just not going to tolerate obstruction anymore.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 17: Well, and again, part of this, I have to blame
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 17: President Trump when he lost Georgia and told people to
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 17: stay home and gave us two Democrat senators in the
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 17: runoff in Georgia asso off who's up for election again,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 17: he told people stay home because he was mad at
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 17: Kemp and Raethlisberger. We can't do that. We have to
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 17: be more motivated than ever. And interestingly, Todd, it's not
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 17: just here at home when people get frustrated with their team.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 17: We've seen it in England where the Conservatives there got
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 17: frustrated that their party was not stopping the flood of
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 17: illegals and they said, well, fine, if y'all aren't going
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 17: to do it, we'll just give the Liberals with labor
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 17: a shot. And now they're in a deeper hole more
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 17: illegal immigration. So be careful what you ask for when
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 17: you get mad at your own team. Don't don't kick
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 17: the stay at home, because you're putting even more evil
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 17: and even more disaster for your country, whether it's here
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 17: or in England or elsewhere. You're putting those people in power.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, and Georgia is going to be a crucial
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: a crucial state when it comes to growing and maintaining
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: our control of the Senate. That's a big deal. And
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: we've got to play this smart. The Collins campaign, uh,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: you know, they're they're not running a sharp campaign right now,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: and it needs to be focused. We've got you've got
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: Derrek Dooley endorsed by Brian Kemp, You've got Mike Collins,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: and I know they've gotten rid of one of Colin
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: staffers for the Crafts joke or whatever. But you know,
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: we have got to play this smart, Steve, And that's
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: my only concern. The only concern is that Republicans have
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: to be smart about all of this, and.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 17: We have to be careful of the whack jobs that
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 17: the Democrats are nomin like in Maine and Texas and
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 17: Georgia and other places. But we've also got to be
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 17: careful of the Democrats who are lying and pretending. You've
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 17: got former Governor Cooper in North Carolina, who's pretending to
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 17: be a moderate, just like Basher in Kentucky does There
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 17: are no moderate Democrats. They lie. Do not be fooled,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 17: whether it's in the state level here in Tennessee, state House,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 17: state Senate, Congress. Do not be fooled by the Democrats
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 17: who claim to be moderates. There are no moderate Democratic
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 17: Party as you see them line up in Congress and
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 17: vote lockstep for the most outrageous, you know, putting boys
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 17: and girls locker rooms, continue to push transmitder surgery issue,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 17: you know, opposing ice and secure borders. Every issue. They
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 17: have a chance to show who they really are, they
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 17: all go lockstep that so far left. Do not be
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 17: fooled by the so called moderate Democrats across the country.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: All right, Steve Gill, looking ahead. Now we've got the
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: primary or the You've got the primary race coming up
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: in the ninth congressional district in Tennessee. You've got four
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: Republican candidates there. Who do you like? Who is starting?
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: Is anybody starting to sort of surface or percolate towards
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: the top?
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 17: I think in the ninth you know, you've got Todd Warner,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 17: who's on the eastern side of the district who's a
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 17: conservative state rep You know, if you've got folks on
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 17: the eastern end of that district who decide they don't
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 17: want somebody in Memphis representing Williamson County and Murray County
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 17: and all those east portions of the district, he could
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 17: have a shot, but I don't think he's going to
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 17: have the money and the resources to really compete with
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 17: Brent Taylor, who you and I know very well, State
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 17: senator from Memphis. He's already put a million dollars in
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 17: his own money in the race, as the endorsements of
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 17: Senator Bill Haggery, Senator Marshall Blackburn, a whole host of
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 17: state state House members across the state. I think it's
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 17: his to lose, and I think it's going to be difficult,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 17: but it's the plans come in the Republican primary, and
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 17: it's a Republican enough district, then he should win in
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 17: the fall. You know, whether it's London Lamar, a Democrat
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 17: state Senator from Memphis, or whether it's the wackjob Justin
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 17: Pearson who prevails there. I don't think they can can
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 17: win the rest of the district outside of dark blue
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 17: Memphis in the new numbers that that district represents probably
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 17: a plus twelve Republican district. So if Brent Taylor wins
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 17: the nomination, he should win.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: All right, good stuff, Steve gil We're gonna leave it there.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: Try Star Daily dot com. Ladies and gentlemen the website.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: Go read it. Great great political insight there. Try Star

• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: This is the top Starr show. All right, the Life
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: of Dad show. They've got the top five. I have
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: worst chores that kids have to do. This is this
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: is funny. So again one of them is taking out
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: the trash. I didn't necessarily mind taking out the trash.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: I hated folding clothes. That was a very unpleasant experience.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: But are here are the top five dishes and pots,
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: having a wash, folding and putting away laundry, cleaning the bathroom.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: For me, that would be like number one. Scrubbing toilets,
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: bathtubs and bathroom sinks, yard work and picking up small toys.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: Oh the blasted legos. Those things used to dry me nuts. Right,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: You'd be running around the house all of a sudden
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: you hit one of those legos. You were cussing like
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: a methodist. I'll tell you. I'm telling you those things
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: aren't so anyway. Taking your calls on the most loathed
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: kids stores and is it time to bring back old
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: screa chores when it comes to the young people of America.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: is our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: zero five, nine two six. You know, we're putting together
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: the final stages. They push back the book release to
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: let me recover a little bit from the events of
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: the past month or so. And so we're already starting
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: to plot the launch of the Golden Age How Trump
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: Saved America, And I think it's going to be a
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: We're generating a lot of buzz and we're going to
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: be doing a lot of the shows. I believe we're
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: doing a c SPAN show. We're going to be in
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: the c Span. They got their book club, so we're
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: going to be doing a nice sit down interview. Looking
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: forward to that, and of course the endorsements are are
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: coming in pretty much around the clock now Speaker Mike
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: Johnson endorsing the book. As a matter of fact, here's
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: what the Speaker had to say. As President Trump leads
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: our nation into its Golden Age, Todd Stearns has delivered
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: a powerful and timely book that challenges us to be
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: that shining city on a hill. Read and share this
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: with friends and family who believe in America and want
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: to help keep our extraordinary republic. Also getting endorsements from
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: doctor Robert Jeffers, Senator Marshall Blackburn, Congressman David Kustoff, Congressman
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: Marlin Stutsman, and Ron Estes. So the list goes on
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: and on and on. We're also going to be doing
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: a one hour TV special surrounding the book, and that's
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: going to be a lot of fun, and we'll tell
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: you more about that in the coming days. Again, The

• 1:16:16
  Speaker 14: Todd starts holoday.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: Well, hello everybody, welcome to hour three of The Big Show.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: I am your host, Todd Stearns, proudly broadcasting border to border,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: coast to coast across the Fruited Plain. By the way, tonight,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: five o'clock Eastern on Newsmax, watch The Todd Stern Show.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: We're going to do a complete debrief of what happened
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: yesterday in Texas and where we go from here. Well,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: I want to bring into the conversation our good friend.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: She is a Newsmax columnist, Wendy Patrick. Wendy, hope you're
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: doing good today.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 12: Oh, Tod.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 3: It's always a pleasure to join you. Thank you for
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 3: having me.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: You know, Wendy, I want to play some audio for you.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: We've been following a lot of different races, and the
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: one out in California and especially Los Angeles cracks me up.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: Spencer Pratt, and he seems to be doing pretty well.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: And here's one of the reasons why. This is Mayor
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: Karen Bass talking about Los Angeles. Let's take a list
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: of the cut sixteen.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 19: Well, the la that I grew up in, first of all,
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 19: was a lot cleaner. There were not people sleeping on
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 19: our streets. The city was actually affordable. You could run
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 19: an apartment, work part time, and go to school, so
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 19: it was a lot different. And I am so hopeful though,
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 19: because our city has grown to be such an international
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 19: city and I love that everybody in the world lives here,
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 19: and our city is much more diverse than it was before.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: Many more people.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 19: But unfortunately the city isn't affordable now, and we do
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 19: have people sleeping on our streets, which is exactly why
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 19: I ran for mayor, because I know how our city
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 19: can be and we're going to get there again.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: Well, it kind of sounds like a Spencer Pratt and Wendy, you.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 16: Know, Tod whines starts playing.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 3: I wonder whether it was Ai, because you're absolutely right.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 3: It's like everything she said is the reason that Spencer
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 3: Pratt has a good shot at winning. You know, it's
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: gotten to be and not everybody in the world lives here.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 3: It's gotten to be so bad where people that we
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 3: meet when we travel abroad. Our city is no longer
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 3: known for Hollywood, It's known for homelessness. The fact that people,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 3: no matter where they live, understand how bad Los Angeles
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: has become is not a good ad for reelection. If anything,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: as you say, it makes it even more likely an
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 3: outsider like Spencer Pratt, who wants to clean everything up,
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 3: is more likely to have a shot.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: And his ads are just so effective. I don't know
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: who's running that campaign or doing the marketing or but comms.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: It's really brilliant.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is. And you know, some of them,
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 3: I wonder whether he's even involved in because the meme
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 3: patrol that really has led out. A lot of these
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 3: AI ones on Twitter and on Exit we've seen are
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 3: really hitting all the right areas. I don't know if
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: you saw yesterday there Karen Beth wants to offer free
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 3: down care to homeless meth users, and.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 12: That those types of program that's.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 3: Fully controversial because most people want to get those people
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 3: help and reduce the population of homebleist meth users instead
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 3: of providing we want to clean up their act and
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: get them clean and sober completely. So a lot of
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 3: these ideas that we're seeing in these slick new ads
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 3: that Spencoat Pratt is running. You know, I guess the
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 3: only downside is a lot of his followers don't live
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 3: in the city of Los Angeles, and they're going to
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 3: be able to vote.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: And that that would be somewhat problematic. Not for a Democrat,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: of course, those votes would somehow show up, but for
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: a republic and you know, an honest republic, and it's
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: you know, Wendy. We've also been following the governor's race
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: there and there there are two new polls out. One
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: is from Echelon Insights, and they've got Steve Hilton, who
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: by the way, was the poll sponsor, leading the field
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: with twenty five percent of the vote. Then you had
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: Tom Steyer, Javier Vissera coming in at eighteen percent, fifteen percent,
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: Bianco trailing at twelve percent. Now there's another poll out there,
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: the Global Strategy Group, which is sponsored by Styer's campaign,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: and they actually show Hilton in the lead in that
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: poll twenty two percent, with Stier and Bessarah tied at
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: nineteen percent and Bianco at twelve percent. What do you
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: make of this new polling.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 3: Data out there, you know, torod Every time I look
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 3: at polling data, I remember that if poles were accurate,
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton would have been president in twenty seventeen, and
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 3: that was also true when it came to the president's
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 3: most recent reelection. Is you know, the polls weren't accurate,
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 3: but Todd not all of them are inaccurate, and that's
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 3: why I'm always curious when you tell me that the
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 3: Sulton was involved in a poll or somebody else was
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 3: involved in a poll. That sort of lends credibility to
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: the way in which the data was collected. I will
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 3: also say, though you know our friends and neighbors, you
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 3: know they're naming and shaming people that are voting for
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 3: the wrong candidates, wrong in quotation marks, of course. And
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: I always worry that whoever people say they're going to
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: vote for isn't actually their way. They're going to vote
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 3: to the ballot box. That may have something to do
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 3: with why some of these polls have Steve Hilton in
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 3: the lead. Because a lot of people, and it goes
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 3: back to the Karen Dank conversation, don't like the status quo.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 3: You know, it's not just La that as a homeless
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 3: and a drug problem. I'm from San Diego and that is,
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 3: you know, a close second, and I'm sure that there
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 3: are lots of people that live here that feel the
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 3: exact same way that it's time for a change. And
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: I'm not entirely positive that those polls that show Beistera
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 3: in the lead are accurate either. So I think Steve
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 3: Hilton really has a shot.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: I do too, And again it's I think people are
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: tired and they're tired of their their communities, their neighborhoods
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: looking like homeless encampments. And I think even in California,
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: and you know, people are concerned about those things. They
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: want they're kids to be able to go out and
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: you know, play and the parks and communities without you know,
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: having to you know, step on a dirty and needle
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: or something.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 3: That's true. And you know, also California, we have the
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 3: fire issue here. We are uniquely predisposed in a variety
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 3: of ways to wildfires, and not just wildfires parsonists. It
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 3: doesn't take much for dry brush to spark, and we
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 3: get so little rain that it's wonder it's a wonderful
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: issue that you see in La that the Steve Pratt
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 3: has been running on. I think it's an issue that's
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 3: more statewide. You know, we've had a rash of in
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 3: San Diego, a rash of fires that broke out there.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 3: There was one right by my house last week, and
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 3: nobody ever finds the causes of a lot of these
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 3: fires because they're so easy to start. So I would
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 3: add that to the list of reasons that people are
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 3: really going to look for somebody that's going to keep
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 3: the city and the state safe. Remember the lack of
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 3: water and the hydrants that we learned about after the
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 3: Palisades fire. Those issues are not localized to Los Angeles.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 3: So I think those are the kinds of very practical,
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 3: day to day issues that are going to give Republicans
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 3: a shot up and down the state.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting you brought that up. I want
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: to switch gears in just a second, but I've got
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: I've got to talk about these this You mentioned the fires,
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: and there's a baker. Her name is, her last name
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: is Romano, Daniella Romano, and she lost her apartment in
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: that fire, and she lost her business in the fire,
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: and she's now she's selling these vote Pratt cookies at
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: one of the grocery stores, locally owned grocery stores, And
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel's sister in law is coming out and trying
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: to like, I don't know, cancel the poor woman.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, those cookies were flying off the shelves
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 3: like hat kags. I mean, everybody wanted one of those,
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 3: and you know the fact that somebody tries to cancel you,
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 3: you know, you hate to say is always a backhanded compliment,
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 3: but it just goes to show you what a threat.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 3: And outside of oh yeah, Pratt has been to the institution,
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 3: to the establishment, and you know what else, it's also
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 3: bringing attention to the race in the same way Steve
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 3: Hilton and I would say even the decline of Eric Swalwell,
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 3: all of that drama has brought attention to the California's
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 3: governor's race. The more attention people pay, the more they
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 3: watch on television, the better shop the Republican candidates have
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 3: because viewers are voters.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: It's true, all right. Finally, Taylor Lorenz, I don't know
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: why I wouldn't wish her on any state, but she
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: ended up in California. My condolence is Wendy and she's
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: the former Washington Post writer and now she's raging online
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: about bagels and cream cheese, and the New York Post
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: is all over the story. So apparently she's a big
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: fan of Los Angeles bagel shops, not so much New
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: York City bagel shops because they're not serving vegan cream cheese,
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: and she was complaining that she wants cashew based vegan
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: cream cheese instead of hyper processed towfoodie, which, honestly, Wendy,
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: I thought it was a toe fung gus. I had
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: no idea, you.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 3: Know, tod new and I grew up in a day
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 3: and age where you just ordered a bagel in cream cheese.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 3: There wasn't the same variety, and I mean Starbucks just
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 3: gave you coffee or decas.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 16: You know.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 3: I think that the California voters have more on their
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 3: minds than these social issues. It's sort of like the
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 3: Maslow pyramid of needs. You first want food, shelter, affordable housing,
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 3: and all the necessities of life, before you really move
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 3: up the pyramid to try to figure out what kinds
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 3: of cream sheese spread you want on your bagel or
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 3: whether or not that's even in your budget. So these issues,
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 3: I think they're a bit of a distraction. But I'm
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 3: just like you. I think it's fascinating to follow them.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 3: It's tongue in cheek as we discuss them. But when
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 3: it comes to the ballot box, those are not going
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 3: to be the types of things that are going to sway, California.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 3: If anything, it's off putting to talk about luxury purchases
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 3: when so many people are barely scraping enough together to
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 3: go to the grocery store once a week.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you, so she's demanding a mayor
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: man Dommy actually intervene, and that she wants government invention
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: in the cream cheese crisis. And I got to think,
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: you know, my recommendation is to think long and hard
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: about that, because the government's going to be shmearing something.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: But I don't think it's going to be cream cheese.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: So so good Wendy Patrick. Wendy, it's I'm heading out
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: to California. I'm heading to southern California later this summer,
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 2: so we are going to have to meet up.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 3: I would love that. That would be a great idea
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 3: show together for my homestate.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, that'd be wonderful. And lunch on me. Uh, just
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: no vegan cream cheese, okay, Wendy, all right, thanks Wendy.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: Wendy Patrick, great Newsmax columnist and an incredible attorney as
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: well at Wendy Lynn Patrick if you want to follow
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: her on Instagram at Wendy Lynn Patrick. All Right, we've
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: got to take a break here. Nine oh one two
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six. This is the
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 2: Todd Stern Show, all right. Always fun to weigh in
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: on our ladies panel. They show up every Tuesday on
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: The Todd Stern Show on news Maxial. Let's take a
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 2: listen to the goals. In spite of the drama, the
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: Spencer Pratt cookies are apparently selling like hotcakes. The baker
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: says she sold seven hundred cookies and just one day.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: What do you make of that?
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 20: So I love the Spencer Pratt. He has apparently no
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 20: campaign manager. He's clearly not a politician, and he is
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 20: probably running one of the best campaigns we've seen in
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 20: a really long time because it's grassroots. It's the people
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 20: who are helping him. It's just regular people who are
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 20: doing his videos for him, and they're brilliant. So you know,
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 20: it's this woman who said, I'm going to make these
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 20: cookies because I lost my home too, and so I
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 20: support the guy who thinks I should have been able
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 20: to build my home back. I actually try to order
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 20: the cookies and apparently you have to buy them in
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 20: the store. So I love Spencer Prap, but I can't
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 20: vote for him, although they do not ask for ID
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 20: so I don't know. I guess it could fly out there,
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 20: grabs some cookies and vote for him, but I think
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 20: that's probably illegal, so.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 11: I wouldn't do that.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 14: But good for her.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 20: You know, she's making the money back too from the
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 20: lost business. This is a win win all the way around.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 20: And I love the Jimmy Kimmel's sister is the one
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 20: who tipped the domino to give them the publicity.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 14: It's so sick.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so kay on that note, are we really surprised
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: here that it was Jimmy Kimmel's sister in law that
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: got triggered? I mean, what is wrong with this family?
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 21: It's such a shame whenever we have to deal with
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 21: Jimmy Kimmel because some more scared that he's gonna post
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 21: the clip on his show and then I'm going to
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 21: get a deluge of death threats, which has happened on
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 21: at least one occasion, probably others.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 14: I don't know.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 21: I never really do too much dating se where I'm
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 21: getting death threats from. But yeah, that's the people who
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 21: support Jimmy Kimmel. Those are the people who support his show.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 21: So I can only presume that other than like Adam Carolla,
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 21: that's probably who Jimmy cam Simill surrounds himself with. I
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 21: know that there's been another story about Jimmy Kimmel's sister
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 21: in law at one point, and I remember it just
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 21: being even just like at the surface level, something that
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 21: made me go, h, shut up, like you are so
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 21: on the wrong side of this, because guys, I lived
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 21: in la I lived actually round the corner from where
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 21: Jimmy Kimmel used to or maybe he still does record
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 21: his show. Used to have to step over bodies to
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 21: walk down, to walk down not just the street outside
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 21: of his studio, but pretty much every single street within,
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 21: you know, like a thirty block radius.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 14: So I think that, like.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 21: Like what Mary said, I think it's absolutely glorious that
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 21: it was a Kimmel or Kimmel's sister in law or
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 21: whatever who is now giving huge attention to this baker.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 14: I think it is very well deserved.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 21: I think that she is on the right side, not
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 21: Jimmy Kimmel's sster in law, but the baker is on
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 21: the right side of history. And I think if Los
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 21: Angeles doesn't vote for Spencer Pratt, then the whole place
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 21: can just go to Helen a handbasket, because how stupid
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 21: do you have to be to not vote for him
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 21: at this point when you live in that glorified slum?
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: All right, Mary, our producers are getting in touch with
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: Joe Moeller. I don't care what assignment he's on for
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: Newsmax right now in LA we're sending him over to
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: get your cookies. Meanwhile, we've got to talk about this
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: story involving Taylor Lorenz. Can we talk about her for
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: a second? Former Washington Pote journalists, and she's complaining about
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: New York City bagel shops not having cashew based vegan
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: cream cheese, and now she's calling out Mayor Zorn Mandami
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: to fix the problem. First of all, Mary, I'm wondering
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: what exactly is vegan cream cheese? And is that really
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: the hill to die on here?
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 20: Okay, so there's a lot of on hack here. I'm
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 20: glad I don't know what vegan cream cheese is because
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 20: I don't. I don't know what do you what do
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 20: you make it with? If you don't use milk? Don't
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 20: I don't know what that is so, and she says,
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 20: you know, the bagels in La suck, Well, so are
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 20: you trying to make them worse? I mean, they're they're
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 20: they're they're inedible. Now I will not eat a bagel
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 20: outside of this geographic area because I am a bagel snob.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 14: So that's just the way it goes.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 20: And I've seen people put a lot of stuff on bagels,
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 20: but they're still great bagels, and so that's okay with me.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 20: But there are just some things that should not be
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 20: And did you ever notice you never see meat eaters
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 20: trying to make meat taste like vegetables, Like I've never
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 20: seen anyone said, take that steak and make it taste
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 20: like kale.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 14: For me, it doesn't happen.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 20: But they are always trying to make like their vegetable
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 20: products or whatever it is. She eats into things that
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 20: they're not. So maybe you should just change your diet.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 20: And by the way, Taylor Lorenz, why why why why
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 20: is it?
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 14: I thought she went away?
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, So look here's I accidentally smeared my bagel with
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: that vegan cream cheese once and it just slid right off.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: The bagel would not excit the vegan Schmith So that
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: being said, I'm just I'm going to predict here. My
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: money is actually on Mandami actually intervening in the cream
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: cheese crisis.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 14: What say you, Oh, I could absolutely.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 21: I mean that's so on brand for him, right, Like,
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 21: this is a guy who's apparently, now I just saw
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 21: before we went before we went live today, a guy
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 21: who is now going to try and take property off
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 21: of landlords that he thinks aren't doing their job well
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 21: enough in New York City. So this complete little sociopath,
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 21: communist scumbag who is going to dismantle one of the
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 21: greatest cities on earth if he's.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 14: Allowed to have his way.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 21: The fact that he the fact that he thinks he
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 21: can do that, I'm sure he absolutely thinks that he
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 21: can walk into absolutely any business in New York City
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 21: and say, hey, guys, if you don't have cream cheese
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 21: that isn't cheese, that doesn't have any cream in it,
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 21: that tastes like little bits of cardboard and dust.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 14: If you don't have that, r all going to prison.
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: So I think that is all right. That was case,
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: my bill. I love these two ladies and we have
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun, and we got to get all

• 1:35:31
  Speaker 22: to cut the grass? I said, yeah, that sounds like fun.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 22: Uh oh he never cut the grass ever again. It
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 22: was my job from that point forward.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 2: Well, now, did you get paid to mow the grass
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: or was there was there an allowance involved.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 22: Nope, there was no allowance. It was just, uh, hey,
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 22: if you're going to live here, this is what your
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 22: responsibility is. It's as a kid, he was trying to
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 22: teach me responsibilities and I'm glad he did. I you know,
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 22: I'm gonna do the same for my daughter. But yeah,
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 22: there was no pay involved at all.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: I have great respect. And there are a couple of
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: Hollywood stars out there and made hundreds of millions of
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: dollars and their kids aren't getting any of it.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 13: You know.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 2: It's that's their money. They raised it, and they want
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: their kids to be, you know, pull themselves up by
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: the boot stripes, boot strips. I respect that. I like
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: Shack a lot. I love what he's done post his
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: NBA career. But one of the things he's he's mentioned
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 2: is his kids always talk about how much money they got,
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: and he says, I have to correct them. That's my money,
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 2: that's my money, that's that's my house. So today an
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 2: interesting topic. And by the way, last week that that
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: conversation freaked me out, but it also sort of like
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 2: shook me back into reality, you know, making sure that
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 2: you know what, what do we call it again? Man?
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: He man insurance. I love that.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 22: I don't have these conversations to strike fear into anybody.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 22: I want it to be educational. But that is it's
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 22: a good thing that you know about it now because
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 22: you are a business owner.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: I had absolutely no idea that that sort of thing
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: actually even existed. So that's that's why I was really
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: intrigued by it.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 16: All.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 22: Oh, I'm glad you got something from it.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: But you know, but and again I say it freaked
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 2: me out only because you know, I was, I had
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: a near death experience. But it really reassured me knowing, hey,
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 2: look there is a solution. Because I'm going to be
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: honest with you. You know, you're sitting there and you're
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 2: realizing everything in this building is built around one guy,
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 2: and you want to make sure that one guy is
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 2: you know, going to be around for a little while.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 22: We always have this, you know statement whenever we meet
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 22: with somebody for the first time, you know, we talk
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 22: about the insurance piece first, and we get asked why
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 22: and because that's the foundation. You know, if you're building
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 22: a business on top of you know, a week foundation,
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 22: do you feel confident that it'll withstand the turmoil and
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 22: the hard time.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 2: We're going to talk about the market, but we do
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 2: have a call. You want to go to the call here?
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 2: All right, let's let's go to Ryan in Mississippi. Ryan,
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 2: you're on the air with Adam Martin. What's your question?
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 17: I Saidam, I was calling to see if y'all do investing.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir, we do.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 17: How much is the minimumly you got to start within'.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 22: Well, we have several models that could be a five
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 22: thousand dollars minimum that has certain investment options with it.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 22: There's other options that we have that have higher minimums.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 22: But there's also just a standalone brokerage account. There's no
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 22: fees to it. It could incur some transactional charges if
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 22: we're trading in and out, but that's while we start
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 22: with a conversation first. So if if you're interested, I'm
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 22: happy to give you some more information.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: So if you have a lot of money, if you
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 2: don't have a lot of money, you're gonna be able
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 2: to help folks out.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 11: That's right.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, I like that idea, Adam, Ryan, that's a great question,
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 2: and thank you for calling in. By the way, Ryan,
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: go to Strategic Financial Partners dot com or if you'd
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 2: like for us to reach out to you. You know what,
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: Let's put Ryan on hold here and we'll get his
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 2: content information and we'll get you guys connected after the segment.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: Why don't we do that?
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 22: Thanks for your question, Ron.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 2: All right, So here we have timing the market versus
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 2: time in the market, and I want you to explain
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: the difference we're talking about here.
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 22: So the fundamental thing here is timing the market means
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 22: that you're trying to figure out when is the right
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 22: time to buy low and sell high, And the problem
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 22: with that is that there are so many things that
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 22: affect the market it's almost impossible to do that consistently.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 22: So we always tell people it's better off to come
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 22: in thinking about how much time you have to be
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 22: in the market, because when we look at things like
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 22: the S and P. Five hundred, over the course of
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 22: like the last ninety five years, there was only so
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 22: many down markets compared to upmarkets. And what I look
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 22: at from like nineteen twenty five to twenty twenty, which
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 22: is ninety five years, we only had twenty five down
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 22: markets where we closed the year in the down. So
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 22: that just means that you have a higher probability of
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 22: reaching those financial goals by just staying invested and sticking
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 22: to your plant.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 2: I've always learned buy low, sell high. That's right.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 22: I mean, that's the name of the game. But you know,
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 22: it's one of those things like right now, why I
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 22: think this is an important conversation to be talking about
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 22: is we're at all time highs in the stock market.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 22: You know, the doll JO owns is over fifty thousand,
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 22: the S and P five hundred is right at seventy
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 22: five hundred. We've never hit those metrics before. So a
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 22: lot of people were getting phone calls and they're saying,
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 22: should I sell now? Should I sell now? And we're
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 22: not saying sell, We're not saying by. What we're saying is,
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 22: let's go back to the plan. You know, you're not
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 22: going to use these dollars for another ten more years,
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 22: So that's a ten year runway that the seventy five
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 22: hundred benchmark that we're at now could grow even higher.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: And yet there are a lot of people that just
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 2: have these long term investments, and that's where the phrase
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: time in the market comes into play.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 22: That's right, I mean, how many people in two thousand
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 22: and eight, when we had a huge market correction, started
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 22: selling at the wrong time because they were like, I've
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 22: already lost ten percent, i can't afford to lose anymore.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 22: I'm trying to retire in a couple of years. They're
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 22: selling at the absolute worst time. And then two thousand
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 22: and nine twenty ten comes and we start to see
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 22: a rebound, and it's like, if you'd have just held
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 22: on stick to the plan, you would have rebounded a
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 22: lot sooner than you thought.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 2: It just seems to me that this is really where
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: the struggle is because you see the market dropping and
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 2: you get nervous and you immediately make a decision, and
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 2: that's normally not the right thing to do.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 22: It's not and that's what gives me job security, if
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 22: you will, because that's what we're here to do, is that, Okay,
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 22: there's a lot of stuff that pops up on the
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 22: TV or your social media that says now's the time
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 22: to get out of it, or now's the time to
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 22: buy before you just go and hit the button and
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 22: buy or sell, pick up the phone, give us a call.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 22: We'll we'll happily walk through it and say, you know,
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 22: I'm not so sure that that's going to be the
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 22: best decision, but I understand if you have to. At
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 22: the end of the day, it's your money and we
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 22: can't control it.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 2: Adam Martin is with Strategic Financial Partners the website Strategic
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 2: Financial Partners dot common. Maybe you have a question about
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 2: the stock market or finances or investing, give Adam a
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 2: call nine oh one two six zero five nine two
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: six again our number nine oh one two six zero
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. I'm curious what happens people they
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 2: what they sell in the downturn, what happens next?
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 22: So when they sell in the downturn, typically what happens
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 22: is they try to find a financial advisor or they
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 22: go on the internet and try to solve it themselves.
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 22: But they they want to know am I going to
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 22: be okay? The next question is, hey, I know that
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 22: this was a correction, how did that affect my plan?
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: And what we always do is.
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 22: Like, you know, I wish you'd have called us before
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 22: you did that, because most of the time it's a
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 22: reactionary phone call instead of a proactive planning approach. And
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 22: we have to be the ones that give them the
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 22: bad news and say you know, I wish you'd have
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 22: just held on a little bit longer because you could
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 22: have rebound it.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: I guess it's almost like coaching a game, right and
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 2: the players you want to react to what but you've
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 2: been your coach tells you this is what you need
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 2: to do. And I think a lot of that comes
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 2: at least on the financial side, with discipline as well.
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 13: Well.
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 22: You know, I think right now is a good time
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 22: to really think about this because what's going on in
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 22: the world. I mean, we've got geopolitical things that are happening,
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 22: because there's a midterm election year where there's natural volatility
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 22: being built into the market. We have a fed chair
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 22: change that's we don't know if he's going to come
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 22: in in lower rates. The data says that right now
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 22: that there's a potential for a rate height. Well, interest
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 22: rates affect the market, they affect bonds, and they affect
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 22: other securities. And so when we factor in all those things,
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 22: we have those conversations and we say, Okay, if this
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 22: thing corrects, you're still going to be okay because you're
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 22: not going to be using these dollars for another five
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 22: more years or six more years. Remember what we talked
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 22: about on the initial meeting, and a lot of times
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 22: that is the aha, light bulb moment where they go,
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 22: you're right, I think I just overreacted. I'm just going
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 22: to stay the course and we're gonna ride this thing out.
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: So again, for folks listing at home and you know
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 2: they're trying, they've been trying to time the market, maybe
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 2: they're just not sure if their investments are aligning with
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 2: their goals, what do they need to be doing.
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 22: So I would just say, hey, what is your money
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 22: allocated to? Okay, so you need to have some allocation
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 22: towards retirement. We've got to have some money there. It
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 22: made your purchase for those young listeners that want to
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 22: buy a new house, like, you've got to have money
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 22: and have it allocated the right way and protect it
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 22: away from big market swings. We always talk about the
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 22: cash reserves. That's not market correlated. So if the market tanks,
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 22: your cash is not going down. So having a plan
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 22: for each and every single dollar that you have. If
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 22: there's money left over and you want a day trade,
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 22: you want to move in and out of stocks or
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 22: try to time the market, that's money that we always say,
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 22: if you can afford to lose it, go play with it.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 2: So this is really not about predicting the market. It's not.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 22: It's about having time in the market. You know, I
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 22: can tell a young person who is, let's just use
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 22: a number here, twenty five years old. They've got a
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 22: forty year runway before they hit full retirement age. They
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 22: may not have a you know, one hundred thousand dollars
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 22: to investment, may have ten thousand dollars, but I say
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 22: ten thousand dollars forty years from now is going to
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 22: be a tremendous asset for you because you have the
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 22: time now. If you're fifty five and you want to
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 22: retire at sixty, there's a time castraight there. So that's
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 22: why it's more detrimental for us to not be trying
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 22: to time the market. Let's stay the course on that.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 2: That makes well, that makes perfect sense again, Strategic Financialpartners

• 1:46:37
  Speaker 2: quick break here, folks. Nine oh one two six zero
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. This is the Todd Stern Show.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 2: All right, welcome back. I'm going to introduce you to
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 2: a felloup. He's a blank, but he actually identifies as
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 2: a white man. His I don't know how that happens,
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 2: but it does. Apparently it was Rachel Dolazol, remember her,
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 2: the head of the NAACP, And it turned out that
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 2: she was a white woman who just apparently had an
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: addiction to taining salons that was kind of embarrassing. So well,
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 2: she thought the name of the group was the National
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 2: Association for the Advancement of Caucasian People. But that was
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: just a little typo, just a typo anyway. Antoine Smalls
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 2: is a young black guy who claims to identify as
• 1:47:40
