- 0:10Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's

- 0:18Speaker 2: That's us, That's American.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Todd starts, all.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Right, we have a lot of political news to talk
- 0:31Speaker 2: about today, really analyzing what happened yesterday in the primaries
- 0:37Speaker 2: and that disastrous debate in South Carolina. Hello, everybody, Welcome
- 0:43Speaker 2: to the Todd Sterns Radio program. Your voice of truth
- 0:46Speaker 2: and hope is back behind the microphone, and we've got
- 0:51Speaker 2: a lot of ground to cover today. Not too many
- 0:55Speaker 2: big surprises. They're in the primaries. Assigned from the fact
- 1:01Speaker 2: that alex Vinman, who is a notorious anti Trumper who
- 1:08Speaker 2: was leaking all sorts of information, became a witness against
- 1:13Speaker 2: President Trump in the whole Ukrainian controversy. That guy was
- 1:20Speaker 2: running for the Senate in the Democrat primary in Florida,
- 1:23Speaker 2: and I mean he had the support of everybody and
- 1:27Speaker 2: he got his butt handed to him. It was really
- 1:33Speaker 2: embarrassing the loss this guy suffered at the hande of
- 1:38Speaker 2: a state representative by the name of Angie Nixon. And
- 1:43Speaker 2: this woman is what is the clinical tournament slap crazy nuts.
- 1:50Speaker 2: She is one of these want to be communists. She's
- 1:54Speaker 2: a member of the DSA and she is she is
- 1:59Speaker 2: a radical, a radical. We're gonna play a lot of audio,
- 2:04Speaker 2: uh from her. As a matter of fact, this is who,
- 2:07Speaker 2: this is who the Democrats want to send to the Senate.
- 2:10Speaker 2: This is the state rep. She was in the legislature.
- 2:14Speaker 2: This was all during the big redistricting battle. And this
- 2:18Speaker 2: is State Representative Angie Nixon Cut number sixteen. Please uh yeah, yeah,
- 2:58Speaker 2: that's uh, that's gonna go over real well inside the
- 3:02Speaker 2: US Senate chamber. I will say this, ladies and gentlemen,
- 3:08Speaker 2: that first of all, the woman's got no shot about this.
- 3:11Speaker 2: She Ashley Henson's gonna or the no, no, no, she's
- 3:15Speaker 2: she She has absolutely absolutely no chance of winning at all.
- 3:21Speaker 2: And again the this goes to show you, though, how
- 3:25Speaker 2: far to the left these Democrats are going. I mean,
- 3:27Speaker 2: this woman had absolutely no money and and yet her
- 3:32Speaker 2: her message was was very well received. I said Ashley Henson,
- 3:40Speaker 2: Ashley Moody. Henson's from Iowa. But anyway, uh, yes, she
- 3:46Speaker 2: took out Alex Wenman and the rise of the Democratic
- 3:50Speaker 2: Socialist continue across America. Also Corey Mills and that guy
- 3:57Speaker 2: was really messed up. I mean, all sorts of allegations
- 4:01Speaker 2: of misconduct. And let me just say something about the
- 4:03Speaker 2: Republicans for a moment. We should we should not be
- 4:07Speaker 2: tolerating this kind of crap. We've got to We've really
- 4:11Speaker 2: got to police our own here. And if you're going
- 4:13Speaker 2: to go after Eric Swolwell for doing the bang bang
- 4:17Speaker 2: with Fang fang many times, then you're gonna have to
- 4:21Speaker 2: You're gonna have to police folks like Corey Mills, who
- 4:25Speaker 2: was facing all sorts of scurrilous accusations. Jared Moskowitz, who
- 4:32Speaker 2: was pro Israel Democrat. He did win beating back a
- 4:36Speaker 2: Democratic Socialist in the twenty fifth congressional district. So there
- 4:41Speaker 2: you go. In Wyoming State, Senator Eric Barlow got the
- 4:46Speaker 2: GOP primary nod that he actually knocked off President Trump's
- 4:51Speaker 2: preferred candidate there. But this Angie Nixon, she scored fifty
- 4:57Speaker 2: six percent of the votes. That tells me that the
- 5:03Speaker 2: Democrats are embracing socialism. So you should believe the polling
- 5:09Speaker 2: data when all of that comes out. This woman is
- 5:14Speaker 2: this woman is also a big supporter of the transgender crowd.
- 5:21Speaker 2: She also wants to abolish prisons cut number twenty four place.
- 5:27Speaker 3: Some of the agenda includes things that have been controversial
- 5:30Speaker 3: thinks you did not name, by the way, in what
- 5:33Speaker 3: is most important to you and the voters of Florida,
- 5:35Speaker 3: including defunding police or abolishing prisons, because those are part
- 5:40Speaker 3: of the platform. The DSA officially agenda has talked about
- 5:43Speaker 3: do you support those or want to be distanced from
- 5:46Speaker 3: those in people's consideration.
- 5:48Speaker 4: So I want to be clear there are things that
- 5:49Speaker 4: are a part of the Democratic clearly platform. Since Hakien,
- 5:54Speaker 4: jeffreesing Chuck Schumer are not supportive of Medicare for all,
- 5:59Speaker 4: which is be a right for folks to have access
- 6:02Speaker 4: to quality health care, I am. I want to abolish
- 6:05Speaker 4: for profit prisons because I believe right now people aren't
- 6:09Speaker 4: educating our children and they're ushering them into the school
- 6:12Speaker 4: to prison pipeline because they want to exploit labor. They're
- 6:16Speaker 4: enhancing penalties because they want cheap labor. And so those
- 6:19Speaker 4: are some of the things that I am supportive of.
- 6:23Speaker 2: There you go. She also supports drag queens. Take a
- 6:28Speaker 2: listen to this.
- 6:29Speaker 5: I don't understand like there's no sexualization at a drag show.
- 6:33Speaker 5: It's just people dressing up and singing and performing. I've
- 6:36Speaker 5: taken my children to drag shows and it's fun. It's entertainment,
- 6:42Speaker 5: it's wholesome entertainment, and it's nothing wrong.
- 6:45Speaker 6: It's just.
- 6:47Speaker 7: Like, I don't I don't get it.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Did she say it was wholesome? Wholes some inter that's
- 6:53Speaker 2: the problem, ma'am. When you're a grown man and you're
- 6:57Speaker 2: wearing lingerie and you're inviting children to take dollar bills
- 7:01Speaker 2: in your crotch, that's not wholesome. That is whosome. Unbelievable
- 7:11Speaker 2: these people, But there you go. The CBSU gov poll
- 7:15Speaker 2: Democrats have a more favorable view of socialism than capitalism.
- 7:21Speaker 2: The CBSU GOT polls says socialism was seen in a
- 7:24Speaker 2: very positive or somewhat positive light by fifty eight percent
- 7:28Speaker 2: of Democratic respondents. Well, of course, I mean, if you're
- 7:32Speaker 2: gonna spend let's just think about this. For the past
- 7:34Speaker 2: almost twenty years now, for the past twenty years, they
- 7:38Speaker 2: have been teaching children in our classrooms, and not all,
- 7:42Speaker 2: but a good many that socialism was better than capitalism.
- 7:47Speaker 2: I want to explain this. Years ago, this was like,
- 7:52Speaker 2: I know, two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight,
- 7:56Speaker 2: I got a call at Fox News from a dad.
- 8:00Speaker 2: You had a kid in the middle school in Des Moines, Iowa.
- 8:04Speaker 2: I don't know why I remember this story, but I
- 8:06Speaker 2: remember the story. Des Moine I with the sons in
- 8:09Speaker 2: the middle school and they're teaching kids about the difference
- 8:13Speaker 2: between capitalism and communism. The children in seventh grade, Dylan,
- 8:19Speaker 2: and I want you to I want you to play
- 8:21Speaker 2: along with those all right. So let's say you're you're
- 8:23Speaker 2: a seventh grader. You don't know that much about anything
- 8:25Speaker 2: because you're in seventh grade. What do you know. You know,
- 8:28Speaker 2: you like to go play sports, start to get attracted
- 8:30Speaker 2: to the girls. Can't wait for recess.
- 8:33Speaker 8: Pretty much yet.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Yeah, So this guy said, you're not gonna believe this.
- 8:38Speaker 2: This is what they're teaching my kid. So the kid
- 8:40Speaker 2: was they had two cartoons, and one cartoon had you know,
- 8:45Speaker 2: the Monopoly guy with the top hat and the monocle,
- 8:49Speaker 2: all right, the big vie. So anyway, it was a
- 8:52Speaker 2: factory and in the factory you had the big monocle dude,
- 8:56Speaker 2: and he was the owner of the factory. And all
- 9:00Speaker 2: the little workers were toiling away and they were weeping,
- 9:04Speaker 2: they were crying. They had tears, and they were chained together,
- 9:09Speaker 2: one by one, all the workers, and all the money
- 9:13Speaker 2: was coming out of the pockets of the monocal dude,
- 9:17Speaker 2: and it was just like, oh my gosh. And then
- 9:20Speaker 2: over on the other side, the communism side, there was
- 9:26Speaker 2: no monical dude. Instead you had all these workers and
- 9:31Speaker 2: they were dancing around the conveyor belt and they were
- 9:34Speaker 2: throwing money up into the air. So you had a
- 9:38Speaker 2: teacher in Des Moines, Iowa, almost twenty years ago, telling
- 9:42Speaker 2: children this is capitalism and this is socialism. Now you're
- 9:47Speaker 2: a seventh grader, Dylan, what do you want.
- 9:49Speaker 8: To be a socialist?
- 9:51Speaker 2: You want to be a socialist. And that's how they
- 9:56Speaker 2: do it. That's how they do it, ladies and jo
- 10:01Speaker 2: that's the indoctrination, that's the propaganda. And that's why twenty
- 10:06Speaker 2: years later you've got all these millennials and gen Zers,
- 10:11Speaker 2: the older gen zers who are now saying, yeah, capitalism
- 10:14Speaker 2: is better than communism, is better than capitalism. That's how
- 10:19Speaker 2: they do it. Nine oh one two six zero five
- 10:24Speaker 2: nine two six are telephone number. That's nine oh one
- 10:27Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six. That was a
- 10:30Speaker 2: very nice seventh grade voice.
- 10:32Speaker 8: I almost like cracked my voice. That would have made
- 10:34Speaker 8: it better.
- 10:34Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well, yeah, definitely, I've been practicing. But again
- 10:41Speaker 2: I and I actually use that illustration of the des
- 10:45Speaker 2: Moines story in my book The Golden Age, because again,
- 10:48Speaker 2: this is a clear and present danger. There are more people,
- 10:52Speaker 2: and again this is happening predominantly in the Democrat side
- 10:55Speaker 2: of the isle right now. But the problem is a
- 10:59Speaker 2: lot of folks you're dying off. You're getting younger people
- 11:02Speaker 2: coming through our nation's education system and there they're being indoctrinated,
- 11:07Speaker 2: which is why we have got to return control of
- 11:09Speaker 2: our schools back to our local communities. We have to
- 11:11Speaker 2: do that. If we are going to save the republic,
- 11:14Speaker 2: we've got to be able to do that. But thank
- 11:16Speaker 2: goodness for this dad who saw the homework assignment and said,
- 11:19Speaker 2: oh wait a second, something's not right here. All right,
- 11:21Speaker 2: we've got to take a break. We have got a
- 11:23Speaker 2: great show lined up for you. Chad Commley's going to
- 11:26Speaker 2: be here to break down that insane debate. Did you
- 11:29Speaker 2: watch the debate on Newsmax? Uh, Dylan, I was screaming
- 11:34Speaker 2: at my TV. I don't know who is running audio.
- 11:37Speaker 2: There were so many technical goof umps and that and that.
- 11:40Speaker 2: I'm like, they need to. I was willing to send
- 11:43Speaker 2: you so that you could fix it all for them.
- 11:46Speaker 8: Oh that's very kind of you.
- 11:47Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to put you on a jet.
- 11:49Speaker 8: Oh yeah.
- 11:50Speaker 2: And we're gonna hang tight, guys. We'll be there in
- 11:53Speaker 2: the commercial lanes on the way. Dylan's on the Way.
- 11:56Speaker 2: Also a brand new sponsor of the show. Our friends
- 11:58Speaker 2: at the Second Amendment Foundation. We're gonna have a great
- 12:02Speaker 2: conversation about the Supreme Court and some interesting cases there.
- 12:07Speaker 2: Liz Peak is here, Congressman Keith self waiting in on
- 12:11Speaker 2: those Muslim bathrooms at the airports, and our good buddy,
- 12:15Speaker 2: doctor Robert Jeffers. I'm telling you we have a jam
- 12:18Speaker 2: packed show. Your calls as well. This is the todd
- 12:21Speaker 2: startin show.
- 12:23Speaker 9: When a nation drifts, the church faces a choice silence
- 12:28Speaker 9: or courage. This weekend, Salem News Channels America two fifty
- 12:33Speaker 9: film series presents Letter to the American Church, based on
- 12:38Speaker 9: Eric Mattax's warning to believers. This film challenges Christians to
- 12:43Speaker 9: recover conviction, truth, and moral courage. Saturday and Sunday at
- 12:48Speaker 9: seven pm Eastern on Salem News Channel.
- 12:59Speaker 7: Where are These Winds happening. Is there a specific area
- 13:02Speaker 7: or what are you seeing with the numbers?
- 13:04Speaker 10: Yeah, okay, you might just say, oh, this is just
- 13:06Speaker 10: a phenomenon in the northeast, this is part of the
- 13:08Speaker 10: Acela corridor. This is just an urban phenomenon. No, not really.
- 13:13Speaker 10: I mean, take a look here where DSA candidates one
- 13:15Speaker 10: primaries for Congress the Royal Democrats. Yeah, you got three
- 13:18Speaker 10: in New York, but you got two in Michigan, you
- 13:21Speaker 10: got one in Colorado, you got one in Florida last
- 13:24Speaker 10: night running for the Senate, and you got one in Pennsylvania.
- 13:26Speaker 10: So this is not just a Northeast phenomenon in terms
- 13:30Speaker 10: of these DSA candidates who are winning primaries. Yes, they
- 13:32Speaker 10: are primarily in urban areas, but they are happening across
- 13:36Speaker 10: the map, from the Northeast to the Midwest, to the
- 13:39Speaker 10: Mountain West, and then last night down in the south
- 13:42Speaker 10: in Florida. So this is happening across the political map.
- 13:44Speaker 10: We are seeing this DSA candidates winning in Democratic primaries.
- 13:48Speaker 10: As I said, they are becoming a larger part of
- 13:51Speaker 10: the democratic primary.
- 13:53Speaker 2: All right, there you have it. The latest from see
- 13:56Speaker 2: it inn over there on the attack of the of
- 14:00Speaker 2: the radical progressives. By the way, we do have some
- 14:03Speaker 2: breaking news to share with you, ladies and gentlemen.
- 14:07Speaker 1: Breaking news now on the Todd Starn Show.
- 14:10Speaker 2: This item certainly of interest to our listeners in the
- 14:14Speaker 2: Baltimore area. On WCBM. Beavers are apparently on the attack. Yes,
- 14:20Speaker 2: I said beavers, ladies and gentlemen. Uh, there have been
- 14:25Speaker 2: three attacks. These These are enraged beavers, Dylan, that are
- 14:33Speaker 2: that are just randomly attacking innocent civilians. They're in the
- 14:37Speaker 2: state of Maryland.
- 14:38Speaker 8: Did they run out of wood in Maryland? By chance?
- 14:40Speaker 2: I think? Well? Is that? Well, that's a good question.
- 14:43Speaker 2: Now is that a woodchuck is different than a beaver? Right?
- 14:45Speaker 6: Well?
- 14:45Speaker 8: I think beavers don't. Beavers build things too. Beaver's built dams.
- 14:49Speaker 2: Beavers build the dams.
- 14:50Speaker 8: But those are like wood, that's true. How I don't
- 14:53Speaker 8: eat the wood?
- 14:54Speaker 2: No, how much wood could a woodchuck? Chuck of a woodchuck?
- 14:57Speaker 2: So is a wood? I think a woodchuck is different.
- 14:59Speaker 8: Than what is a beaver eat? Why would it be angry?
- 15:01Speaker 2: Barely humans? At least according to these Maryland wildlife officials
- 15:07Speaker 2: searching for a beaver that attacked a ten year old
- 15:10Speaker 2: girl at a state Park. This is the third reported
- 15:14Speaker 2: beaver attack in less than three weeks, So we don't
- 15:17Speaker 2: know what this is, like a just one bad beaver
- 15:20Speaker 2: or if there are multiple, if there's like a bevy
- 15:23Speaker 2: of bad beavers there in Maryland.
- 15:26Speaker 8: This is like a This is like a case waiting
- 15:28Speaker 8: to have. This is like a documentary that I'm waiting for.
- 15:30Speaker 2: Could be a game. The girl was swimming and waiting
- 15:33Speaker 2: with an organized croup. What does that even mean? This writing? So, yeah, beaver?
- 15:44Speaker 2: Is that what the beaver sounds like? I don't know
- 15:48Speaker 2: what was the one on a candy shack? Or was
- 15:50Speaker 2: that a gopher? Was it a go.
- 15:57Speaker 8: A different job?
- 15:58Speaker 2: Waiting? Is that is that species?
- 16:01Speaker 11: Is?
- 16:01Speaker 2: Probably they all look the same. So you got the woodchucks,
- 16:04Speaker 2: the gophers, and the beavers. The beavers I think are
- 16:07Speaker 2: problematic because they would chomp down the trees and then
- 16:11Speaker 2: they build the dams and cause flooding.
- 16:13Speaker 8: Yeah, but it's like their day job. What are you
- 16:15Speaker 8: gonna do? Maybe that's what happened. Maybe they took away
- 16:18Speaker 8: their jobs and they're these unemployed beavers just rampant.
- 16:22Speaker 2: You know what. They're unhappy with their lives and they're
- 16:24Speaker 2: lashing out with their aggression. They're taking out their aggression
- 16:28Speaker 2: on poor little girls at summer camp swimming in the lake, which, again,
- 16:32Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, is why you never go swimming in
- 16:36Speaker 2: a lake or a river. If the alligators don't get
- 16:39Speaker 2: you or the piranha, the beaver will.
- 16:43Speaker 8: Now we have a third option for danger there.
- 16:46Speaker 2: My goodness. Now are the beavers the ones with the
- 16:48Speaker 2: big tails that spank people?
- 16:49Speaker 8: Yeah, spank people? I don't think they're doing that.
- 16:52Speaker 2: Well they could, I don't know how they don't. They
- 16:54Speaker 2: don't explain how they're attacking, so they could be like
- 16:57Speaker 2: biting the people and then spanking. You don't want to
- 17:01Speaker 2: spank the beaver.
- 17:02Speaker 8: That's not good, or be spanked by a beaver.
- 17:05Speaker 2: Well that's true. Thank you for that, Seneca Creek State Park.
- 17:08Speaker 2: So be on the lookout there, Jesus. You see, I
- 17:11Speaker 2: would expect for this kind of a story, idle know
- 17:14Speaker 2: our friends at wr WH and Cleveland, Georgia, you know,
- 17:17Speaker 2: in the mountainous communities, but you know in Maryland, you
- 17:22Speaker 2: would expect the beaver's there to be somewhat docile.
- 17:28Speaker 12: Oh.
- 17:28Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, there's a photo of one
- 17:29Speaker 2: of the beavers and you know they stand up that
- 17:32Speaker 2: the beavers, they can stand up on their hind quarters.
- 17:35Speaker 2: And this one's sort of like leaning up against a
- 17:38Speaker 2: tree they have just like destroyed, and it almost looks
- 17:42Speaker 2: like he's smoking a cigarette.
- 17:45Speaker 8: Long day at work. I did to take a load
- 17:47Speaker 8: off there.
- 17:50Speaker 2: And then he attacked the children. Oh this is terrible.
- 17:53Speaker 2: So a beaver attacked a thirteen year old swimmer at
- 17:56Speaker 2: Cunningham Falls, and another beaver bit a nineteen year old
- 18:00Speaker 2: fishermen on the ankle. And I'm sorry, you can't be
- 18:05Speaker 2: anywhere near the water. I think. I'm just telling you.
- 18:09Speaker 2: I think the creatures of the woodlands are turning on us.
- 18:13Speaker 2: That's what I think is going on here.
- 18:15Speaker 8: We need to take more care of our of our
- 18:17Speaker 8: rivers here.
- 18:18Speaker 2: Good golly, we got we got beavers and communists. For
- 18:21Speaker 2: God's sakes, this is terrible. What are you gonna do?
- 18:24Speaker 2: So anyway, thoughts and prayers to all of our great
- 18:27Speaker 2: listeners here and WCBM. Anybody have any beaver? This is
- 18:31Speaker 2: why you need to have a gun, right, shoot the beaver.
- 18:33Speaker 8: That's gonna happen to BUCkies. Now call this beaver madness, BUCkies.
- 18:39Speaker 2: I forgot about that. So you see, they're trying. That's
- 18:41Speaker 2: the problem. They're trying to tame the beaver, and you
- 18:45Speaker 2: can't do that. Beavers are bad. Still trying to figure
- 18:48Speaker 2: out what those beaver nuggets are all about. All right,
- 18:51Speaker 2: gotta take a break here. Chad Conley coming up talking
- 18:54Speaker 2: about that disastrous, disastrous debate last night. Jesus, We'll be

- 20:44Speaker 12: My brother was in the Air Force for thirty three years,
- 20:48Speaker 12: so I will do everything I can to support the military.
- 20:52Speaker 12: My dad was in the Army. I'm not a polished
- 20:55Speaker 12: politician up here. I'm national security is not my thing,
- 21:00Speaker 12: not my area of expertise.
- 21:01Speaker 7: But I do support the military.
- 21:04Speaker 2: E yikes, all right, that was Darlene Graham at the
- 21:08Speaker 2: Newsmax debate last night. You had Congressman Ralph Norman also
- 21:15Speaker 2: running and on the stage. The correct answer is Taiwan
- 21:20Speaker 2: is our friend, Darlene Graham. The answer reminded me of this.
- 21:27Speaker 2: You might remember there was the Miss America pageant or
- 21:30Speaker 2: one of these big beauty pageants. And here's how Miss
- 21:33Speaker 2: South Carolina Dylan responded to the question that was asked.
- 21:37Speaker 6: Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can't locate
- 21:41Speaker 6: the US on a world map.
- 21:43Speaker 7: Why do you think this is?
- 21:46Speaker 6: I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do
- 21:51Speaker 6: so because some people out there in our nation don't
- 21:57Speaker 6: have that. And I believe that education like such as
- 22:01Speaker 6: a South Africa and Iraq everywhere like such as and
- 22:06Speaker 6: I believe that they should Our education over here in
- 22:11Speaker 6: the US should help the US, or should help South Africa,
- 22:15Speaker 6: and should help di Iraq in the Asian countries, so
- 22:18Speaker 6: we will be able to build up our future.
- 22:20Speaker 2: For our Thank you very much, suntads. Oh my word,
- 22:30Speaker 2: you know, look, we all have bad days. We all
- 22:32Speaker 2: have bad days. I want to bring into the conversation
- 22:35Speaker 2: our good buddy, Chad Conley. He is the president of
- 22:38Speaker 2: Faith Wins and former chair of the Republican Party there
- 22:42Speaker 2: in South Carolina. Wow, Chad, that debate last night.
- 22:50Speaker 15: Hey Todd, how you doing, brother? I'm glad to be
- 22:52Speaker 15: with you. I was on the front row, you know,
- 22:54Speaker 15: when Lindsay passed away. I called my friends at the
- 22:57Speaker 15: Newbery Opera House, which is a great little venue in
- 22:59Speaker 15: downtown rural South Carolina, and I said, what are your
- 23:02Speaker 15: available dates? And so I knew that the people in
- 23:04Speaker 15: South Carolina need to have a chance to get to
- 23:06Speaker 15: know the candidates. This is a five week ramp and Todd,
- 23:10Speaker 15: as you know very well, our people are accustomed to
- 23:13Speaker 15: retail politics. They're used to meeting everybody, and this was
- 23:16Speaker 15: such a tight window. Maybe only a debate that people watched, obviously,
- 23:21Speaker 15: based on what I'm seeing, is the way that they
- 23:24Speaker 15: get to know a little bit about the candidates. This
- 23:26Speaker 15: just didn't provide the time for people to really shake
- 23:28Speaker 15: hands and kiss babies and go to the barbecue huts
- 23:31Speaker 15: and the breakfast spots. So I think the debate probably
- 23:34Speaker 15: carries more significance than other.
- 23:36Speaker 2: Times, Chad, we asked people on social media. We had
- 23:40Speaker 2: about a thousand folks weighing in here, so it's certainly
- 23:43Speaker 2: not scientific. Who won the South Carolina Senate debate. Ralph
- 23:49Speaker 2: Norman came in at sixty four point nine percent of
- 23:52Speaker 2: the vote, Darling Graham twenty four point four percent, and
- 23:55Speaker 2: Darlene's yellow notepad generated ten point eight percent of the
- 24:00Speaker 2: vote in our poll. She did not have a very
- 24:05Speaker 2: good night in my estimation.
- 24:08Speaker 15: You know, look, I like Darlene, and I think Lindsay's
- 24:11Speaker 15: built a team over decades that's probably one of the
- 24:13Speaker 15: best on Capitol Hill. She's putting a tough spot grieving
- 24:17Speaker 15: her brother, not really having time to grieve, and then
- 24:20Speaker 15: being thrust into a spot like this. But certainly the
- 24:23Speaker 15: questions that come fast, rapid fire to a US Senate
- 24:27Speaker 15: candidate are things that are very tough to prepare for.
- 24:30Speaker 15: I think they both had good moments. I thought they
- 24:32Speaker 15: had both had bad moments. I thought they both missed opportunities.
- 24:35Speaker 15: But there's no question people are talking about last night.
- 24:38Speaker 15: I've been getting text from pastors Todd in our network,
- 24:41Speaker 15: a lot of them that you know from all over
- 24:43Speaker 15: the country, and people are concerned about the US Senate race.
- 24:46Speaker 15: They want to nominate somebody here that can beat this
- 24:49Speaker 15: far left pro trans pro aboard up to birth Annie Andrews,
- 24:53Speaker 15: who's running on the.
- 24:54Speaker 2: D side, Chad. I'm curious here about Congress from Norman.
- 24:59Speaker 2: At the very end, Darlene Graham really started lobbing some zingers,
- 25:06Speaker 2: suggesting that the only thing he's done in his time
- 25:09Speaker 2: in Congress is to name a post office. Is that right?
- 25:12Speaker 2: Because that's not the Ralph Norman I know, who has
- 25:15Speaker 2: been a pretty much a champion for conservative issues over
- 25:19Speaker 2: the years.
- 25:20Speaker 15: You know, Ralph would tell you that he's always fought
- 25:23Speaker 15: the establishment. You know, I ran against Ralph for Congress.
- 25:25Speaker 15: He and I still on that same stage at the
- 25:27Speaker 15: Newbury Opera House and debated in twenty seventeen. And so
- 25:30Speaker 15: Ralph would take pride in pushing back on extra excessive
- 25:34Speaker 15: government spending and overreach. And I know that he did
- 25:38Speaker 15: get a post office name that's certainly been famous around here.
- 25:41Speaker 15: But it certainly he made out the point. I'm not
- 25:44Speaker 15: sure Trump would like this, but Ralph saying, you know,
- 25:47Speaker 15: he made the one big beautiful bill better by pushing back,
- 25:49Speaker 15: and so I thought they both missed opportunities there. Certainly,
- 25:53Speaker 15: her bringing that out kind of hit with Ralph with
- 25:56Speaker 15: a zinger. But Ralph would stand beside his conservative bona fides.
- 25:59Speaker 15: He's been a staunch conservative and he's got a proven record,
- 26:03Speaker 15: so he didn't have to apologize for much of that,
- 26:05Speaker 15: but she hit him and he really didn't have a
- 26:06Speaker 15: great response.
- 26:07Speaker 2: I thought, you know, the other part of this was
- 26:10Speaker 2: interesting is the money. Apparently she's received a lot of
- 26:12Speaker 2: money from Democrat packs, millions of dollars. Does that concern
- 26:16Speaker 2: folks there in South Carolina.
- 26:18Speaker 15: Yeah, it's a topic of conversation that I've been on
- 26:20Speaker 15: text threads with this morning. You know, I thought that,
- 26:23Speaker 15: you know, she should say something like, look, I can't
- 26:26Speaker 15: tell who gives me money. I can't help that, but
- 26:29Speaker 15: who do we give money to? And you know, kind
- 26:31Speaker 15: of pivot on that. But it's drawing a lot of interest. Todd.
- 26:35Speaker 15: People are coming from all over the place. I think
- 26:39Speaker 15: the money's coming in here. They're both spending a ton
- 26:41Speaker 15: of money the negative ads. I've been gone basically for
- 26:45Speaker 15: a month out all the different pastor meetings around the country,
- 26:48Speaker 15: but just watching some of you guys this morning and
- 26:51Speaker 15: other networks, the ads are flying, brother, So there's an
- 26:54Speaker 15: awful lot of money getting pumped in. I haven't had
- 26:57Speaker 15: a chance to take a look at the delineation where
- 27:00Speaker 15: it's coming from, but that's what I'm hearing is there's
- 27:02Speaker 15: some lefties that are pouring money into the state too
- 27:04Speaker 15: for their issues as well. And we're the only game
- 27:07Speaker 15: in town right now, right and people are concerned. Look,
- 27:10Speaker 15: if the Republicans have to pour money into South Carolina
- 27:13Speaker 15: in the fall, our nation's got a real problem. And
- 27:16Speaker 15: I think that's why people are paying attention.
- 27:18Speaker 11: Well.
- 27:18Speaker 2: I think we do have a big problem here. I
- 27:20Speaker 2: think the Republican Congress hasn't really been as effective as
- 27:25Speaker 2: we wanted them to be. How do you see that
- 27:29Speaker 2: playing out? Because it's not that Republicans are not going
- 27:32Speaker 2: to go and they're not going to go vote for Democrat.
- 27:34Speaker 2: They're just going to stay home.
- 27:36Speaker 15: They're going to stay home.
- 27:37Speaker 14: Look.
- 27:37Speaker 15: I did a donor thing the other day and I said, look,
- 27:40Speaker 15: I hope the war ends. I hope the gas prices
- 27:43Speaker 15: come down. I hope the economy stabilized. I hope that
- 27:45Speaker 15: all this stuff levels out. But I think hope is
- 27:47Speaker 15: a terrible strategy. I hope that our team learns to
- 27:50Speaker 15: run a midterm. I hope that our team learns to
- 27:52Speaker 15: get a turnout model for GOTV with Trump not on
- 27:55Speaker 15: the ballot. Hope's a terrible strategy. This is why I'm
- 27:58Speaker 15: running around the country trying to get pastor to maximize
- 28:00Speaker 15: Christian votes. I've been in sixteen states the last twenty
- 28:03Speaker 15: two days. I'm encouraged by the grassroots effort, but I
- 28:06Speaker 15: got to tell you, from a fundamental standpoint, I don't
- 28:11Speaker 15: see the stuff being done that can turn this around.
- 28:14Speaker 15: And we got to hope for a miracle. I think
- 28:16Speaker 15: it's that things stand right now. We got to hope
- 28:18Speaker 15: and pray that the DSA's taking over the Democrats enough
- 28:22Speaker 15: that people, normal people that vote d realize they've gone
- 28:25Speaker 15: so far driven into the left hand ditch that they
- 28:28Speaker 15: can't tolerate it. That's where we're at. I don't have
- 28:31Speaker 15: a lot of confidence in the party or the committee's
- 28:34Speaker 15: fundamentals that I can see in the states taught.
- 28:36Speaker 2: And this is the challenge. Though We've got a lot
- 28:38Speaker 2: of money on our side of the town. I mean,
- 28:40Speaker 2: I mean the Democrats, you know, having a mortgage they're
- 28:42Speaker 2: building just to be able to pay their bills. Republicans
- 28:45Speaker 2: have more money they know what to do with. But
- 28:48Speaker 2: it's the messaging. I'm just wondering what are they doing
- 28:50Speaker 2: with all of that money? Because you're right, the DSA
- 28:53Speaker 2: is a clear and present danger to the Republic. I'm
- 28:57Speaker 2: just not sure the average American that's out there sitting
- 29:01Speaker 2: out there going to football practice and watching the kids,
- 29:04Speaker 2: I'm not sure they may be aware of that.
- 29:08Speaker 15: You know, I think we all be running against that
- 29:10Speaker 15: whole DSA thinking. I don't think the average American knows that.
- 29:13Speaker 15: I think they're focused on affordability. And I can't tell
- 29:16Speaker 15: you how many consultants have talked friends of mine and
- 29:19Speaker 15: who are good candidates out of running on some of
- 29:22Speaker 15: this zaniness from the left, and they talk about talking
- 29:25Speaker 15: points and give great charts. I just I love a
- 29:28Speaker 15: lot of the consultants. I think that they're pros, but
- 29:31Speaker 15: I think that their attention to the pro family, pro
- 29:33Speaker 15: common sense, pro American message that draws the people out
- 29:37Speaker 15: that vote in elections, the one sitting in churches that
- 29:40Speaker 15: you and I know, they're not talking to them. And
- 29:43Speaker 15: I hope again here I am. I hope I pray
- 29:47Speaker 15: that we figure that out by the midterms, because I
- 29:49Speaker 15: think this could be as shellacking as things stand right now.
- 29:53Speaker 15: We've got to pray for a big turnaround in a
- 29:55Speaker 15: lot of areas, and let's face it, our side hasn't
- 29:58Speaker 15: won a midterms since twenty fourteen, and we've not done
- 30:00Speaker 15: well when Trump's not on the ballot.
- 30:02Speaker 2: So here we are so chad you think the Republicans
- 30:05Speaker 2: could get beat in the midterms.
- 30:08Speaker 15: I think this is bad, man. I mean, you know,
- 30:10Speaker 15: good gracious, I don't know. You're probably seeing some of
- 30:12Speaker 15: the same internal polls I'm seeing. And unless we learn
- 30:16Speaker 15: to talk about pocketbook issues and the things that moms
- 30:19Speaker 15: and dads are dealing with around the kitchen table, I
- 30:22Speaker 15: think we're in trouble. I really do. I was in
- 30:24Speaker 15: Maine this week. I was in New Hampshire. When I
- 30:26Speaker 15: go to pockets of places. I had a dinner with
- 30:31Speaker 15: multi ethnic pastors in Detroit last week, black, Hispanic, white,
- 30:35Speaker 15: and I told them we need to stop acting like
- 30:37Speaker 15: there's some kind of moral equivalent sye with the left.
- 30:39Speaker 15: The Massachusetts governor is killing babies up to birth. The
- 30:43Speaker 15: boys in girls' sports is running rampant. They won't apologize
- 30:47Speaker 15: to it. People are campaigning in communist mile say tongue
- 30:51Speaker 15: outfits and not apologizing for it. They're brazen and bold.
- 30:55Speaker 15: I was doing a video shoot in front of the
- 30:58Speaker 15: New Hampshire Capital. My son was filming me. You know,
- 31:01Speaker 15: he works for me at Faith Winds, and this guy
- 31:03Speaker 15: was listening and I said that about they're killing babies
- 31:06Speaker 15: up to birth, and which is a fact. That's a fact.
- 31:08Speaker 15: And he came up and had about a ten minute
- 31:10Speaker 15: conversation with me and Bennett talking about this, and he
- 31:14Speaker 15: I just don't think they're babies. And we had this
- 31:16Speaker 15: conversation with this guy, but I think he's typical of
- 31:19Speaker 15: a lot of people that aren't educated, and they don't
- 31:21Speaker 15: have a biblical worldview, so they're not going to share
- 31:24Speaker 15: our values on this, and they're easily swayed by the
- 31:28Speaker 15: moment of the day, affordability. The war's still going on,
- 31:31Speaker 15: and they'll vote for Democrats because they think that they're
- 31:34Speaker 15: going to take care of all this when we know
- 31:36Speaker 15: what President Trump's done has been phenomenal, secure border, defending
- 31:40Speaker 15: our Israel, taking Iran away from having nuclear weapons. There
- 31:45Speaker 15: are things we can go on and on about crime
- 31:47Speaker 15: being lowered in the cities, the fraud and waste being exposed,
- 31:52Speaker 15: but it takes time to go through all this and
- 31:54Speaker 15: get it done. And I'm concerned that the short ramp
- 31:57Speaker 15: we have to the midterms. I just wish I saw
- 31:59Speaker 15: the fun the metals being done. Todd, That's what I
- 32:01Speaker 15: really wish I saw.
- 32:03Speaker 14: No.
- 32:03Speaker 2: I share your concern there. I just shudder to imagine.
- 32:08Speaker 2: I can't even let my brain go there that the
- 32:11Speaker 2: Democrats would regain control of the House, or the or
- 32:14Speaker 2: the Senate. It is, it would be devastating for I
- 32:18Speaker 2: think the president, no doubt they're going to impeach the guy.
- 32:22Speaker 2: I just think again, one of the big challenges, and
- 32:26Speaker 2: we've seen this in my area where I live, is
- 32:29Speaker 2: that evangelical churches have completely disengaged Chad. You know, I've
- 32:34Speaker 2: wrote the book The Golden Age. It just came out
- 32:36Speaker 2: last week, and it really is a call to action
- 32:39Speaker 2: for evangelicals to get out and engage the political process.
- 32:42Speaker 2: And you can see that that is not happening, which
- 32:46Speaker 2: is why I think Faith Wins is so important, because
- 32:49Speaker 2: you're out there mobilizing pastors and getting them engaged in
- 32:53Speaker 2: the fight.
- 32:55Speaker 15: Well, I'll tell you, you know, I believe in this. I
- 32:57Speaker 15: believe the dormant votes are sitting in churches. George Barnes
- 33:00Speaker 15: says number one reason people vote some other respect tells
- 33:03Speaker 15: them that it's important. That's the pastor. I spend a
- 33:06Speaker 15: million percent of my time talking to pastor. As pastor
- 33:08Speaker 15: to pastor, I'm encouraged when I go to I was
- 33:11Speaker 15: in Detroit last week. I was in Lansing last week.
- 33:14Speaker 15: I was in Toledo. Last week. I was in Cincinnati.
- 33:16Speaker 15: Last week. I was in Bangor, Maine. This week Monday,
- 33:20Speaker 15: I was in Conquered in Manchester, New Hampshire.
- 33:22Speaker 2: This week.
- 33:22Speaker 15: I was in Colorado last week and just North Glen,
- 33:25Speaker 15: just outside of Denver where there's a key congressional I
- 33:27Speaker 15: was in Albuquerque. I've been in sixteen states in twenty
- 33:30Speaker 15: two days. When I go to the granular and I
- 33:33Speaker 15: watch pastors wake up because another pastor says this is important,
- 33:38Speaker 15: that's where my prayer lies. That's where my work's going
- 33:40Speaker 15: to be, because I think fundamentally we've got to get
- 33:43Speaker 15: those dormant votes out, not about a person or a party,
- 33:46Speaker 15: but about the policies and principles that line up with
- 33:48Speaker 15: what we believe in. Because you're right, the left is
- 33:51Speaker 15: going to go absolutely out of control if they do win.
- 33:55Speaker 15: I think there's a five alarm fire going on in America,
- 33:58Speaker 15: and we better flat way before we get to the midterms.
- 34:02Speaker 2: All right, Any predictions here for the back to South Carolina.
- 34:06Speaker 2: Any predictions here for the big Senate race.
- 34:10Speaker 15: You know, I'll refrain from the predictions, but I think
- 34:13Speaker 15: that it's becoming more and more clear, and I think
- 34:17Speaker 15: that this is, let's face it, it's a turnout deal. It's
- 34:20Speaker 15: late August, it's been one hundred degrees here. Who has
- 34:23Speaker 15: a get out the vote plan and a process. I've
- 34:27Speaker 15: said since the beginning, I thought that Ralph held the
- 34:29Speaker 15: edge because he's been campaigning for nine months for governor.
- 34:32Speaker 15: I think Darlene's edges. She's got the best team in politics.
- 34:35Speaker 15: Lindsey built an unbelievable political team. They're good and so
- 34:40Speaker 15: and Darlene's a sweet, authentic lady who's got her heart
- 34:43Speaker 15: in the right place, who's been thrust into a near
- 34:46Speaker 15: impossible situation. I think it's a toss up and it's
- 34:49Speaker 15: a jump ball, and we'll see what President Trump's visit
- 34:52Speaker 15: on Friday does. He's going to Oory County, which is
- 34:55Speaker 15: one of the most favorable Trump counties and districts in
- 34:58Speaker 15: the country. And so if he can turn a vote out,
- 35:00Speaker 15: Trump's always been bringing out those one out of six votes,
- 35:04Speaker 15: one out of five votes. And but let's face it,
- 35:07Speaker 15: a special election in late August, when kids are going
- 35:09Speaker 15: back to school and people are busy coming off of vacation.
- 35:13Speaker 15: It's all about turnout, and it's the three out of
- 35:16Speaker 15: fours and the four out of fourth that show up
- 35:18Speaker 15: reliably right. So whoever gets their Voteut's gonna win this.
- 35:20Speaker 2: All right, We've got to leave it there, my good
- 35:23Speaker 2: friend Chad Connolly, President of Faith Wins. Chad, always appreciate
- 35:27Speaker 2: your great analysis, folks, go be sure to visit the
- 35:30Speaker 2: website faithwins dot org. Thanks a lot, Chad, Love you brother,
- 35:35Speaker 2: see you soon. All right, there you have it, ladies
- 35:37Speaker 2: and gentlemen, gonna be taking your calls. Nine oh one
- 35:41Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six, got to take
- 35:44Speaker 2: a break. We'll be right back. All right. Coming up,
- 35:54Speaker 2: we're gonna be gonna ad him krout with the Second
- 35:56Speaker 2: Amendment Foundation. So you're gonna want to stick around for it.
- 35:59Speaker 2: That conversation, let's go to the phone lines. Charles in
- 36:02Speaker 2: North Carolina w SIC had a great interview with the
- 36:07Speaker 2: good folks that WUSIC about the book. Charles. What's going on?
- 36:11Speaker 16: Hey, God, So, just to kind of echo your previous
- 36:15Speaker 16: guests of his opinions, I think I think he's right.
- 36:19Speaker 16: I think this could be a disaster of the midterms,
- 36:22Speaker 16: and it's all so unnecessary. I mean, you know, I
- 36:26Speaker 16: know we had this money advantage and everything the Republicans do,
- 36:30Speaker 16: but from what I'm hearing from my friends and just
- 36:33Speaker 16: what I'm sensing is that the Republicans are their a wall.
- 36:38Speaker 16: Our Congress is They're not even working right now. They
- 36:43Speaker 16: don't appear to be listening to their voters. They're all
- 36:45Speaker 16: doing whatever they're you know, they're doing, And unfortunately, you've
- 36:50Speaker 16: got the only people, it seems, talking about the issues
- 36:53Speaker 16: that are concerning the people, even though they have all
- 36:56Speaker 16: the wrong answers. Are these Democratic Socialists and so people
- 37:02Speaker 16: you know that are low propensity voters are They're listening
- 37:05Speaker 16: to that, and that's what resonates with them. And I
- 37:10Speaker 16: just think that I can't believe the President has to
- 37:13Speaker 16: call Congress back in session to deal with these issues.
- 37:16Speaker 16: But when they come back, I think they need to
- 37:19Speaker 16: focus on the mass deportations. I think they need to
- 37:21Speaker 16: focus on cutting money to the Department of Education and
- 37:26Speaker 16: cutting off money to these colleges that are cranking out
- 37:29Speaker 16: future DSA students, And I think they need to really
- 37:34Speaker 16: start talking about the bread and butter issues that are
- 37:37Speaker 16: important to the American people.
- 37:39Speaker 2: Charles, I've got about twenty seconds here. What do they
- 37:44Speaker 2: need to do to turn this around in your estimation
- 37:47Speaker 2: the Republicans, Well, the.
- 37:49Speaker 16: First thing I think they need to do is they
- 37:51Speaker 16: need to get on mass deportations. I think the President
- 37:55Speaker 16: needs to declare that emergency national security emergency about the election.
- 38:00Speaker 16: And uh, I think they need to cut all the
- 38:02Speaker 16: money to the uh these college, these colleges and try
- 38:06Speaker 16: to save our culture because that's you know, unless they
- 38:10Speaker 16: do that. You mentioned it on your show here many times.
- 38:12Speaker 16: If we don't change the education system, we're toast.
- 38:15Speaker 14: No.
- 38:15Speaker 2: Well, that's that is definitely accurate, Charles. I gotta leave
- 38:20Speaker 2: it there, my friend. A good hearing from you. And uh,
- 38:24Speaker 2: I think we should pay heed to what Chad Conley says. Uh.
- 38:28Speaker 2: The guys out there, boots on the ground. All right,
- 38:31Speaker 2: hang ty, everybody gotta take a quick break. Second Amendment
- 38:34Speaker 2: Foundation Liz pe coming up next.
- 38:49Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 38:54Speaker 1: common sense conservative commentary from Todd Stars.
- 39:02Speaker 2: American and Hello America, Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio program.
- 39:10Speaker 2: Great to have you with us for the second hour
- 39:12Speaker 2: of the show today, seventy six days, ladies and gentlemen,
- 39:16Speaker 2: until the midterm elections, seventy six days until we stop
- 39:21Speaker 2: the socialist surge in America. We have got a lot
- 39:25Speaker 2: going on this hour of the show. As a matter
- 39:29Speaker 2: of fact, Liz Peak will be here from Fox News
- 39:31Speaker 2: in just a little while. Also, Congressman Keith self coming
- 39:35Speaker 2: up in the next hour of the show, along with
- 39:38Speaker 2: our good buddy, doctor Robert Jeffers, the pastor of the
- 39:40Speaker 2: First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas well as our longtime
- 39:46Speaker 2: listeners know on this program, we are ferocious defenders of
- 39:51Speaker 2: the Second Amendment. And the reason why is because the
- 39:54Speaker 2: Second Amendment protects all of the other Amendments, so it
- 39:58Speaker 2: is vitally imported that American citizens have the right to
- 40:03Speaker 2: bear arms. And we're excited to welcome a new partner
- 40:06Speaker 2: on the program. And I'm excited about these folks. I'm
- 40:10Speaker 2: excited for you to learn about them and the great
- 40:12Speaker 2: work they're doing. The Second Amendment Foundation SAF dot org
- 40:18Speaker 2: is the website, and I'll get that information out again again.
- 40:21Speaker 2: Second Amendment Foundation SAF dot org and we're excited to
- 40:26Speaker 2: have Adam Krout joining us, the executive director of the
- 40:29Speaker 2: Second Amendment Foundation. Adam, welcome to the show. Great to
- 40:32Speaker 2: have you, all right, guys, if we could get the
- 40:40Speaker 2: audio situation, they're all right, Adam, we've got you. Good
- 40:43Speaker 2: to have you with us today.
- 40:45Speaker 17: Hi, thanks for having me.
- 40:46Speaker 2: All right, Adam, Before we jump into some of the
- 40:49Speaker 2: big projects you guys have been working on, i'd love
- 40:52Speaker 2: for you to give our listeners just an overview of
- 40:56Speaker 2: what you guys are doing there at the Second Amendment Foundation. Sure.
- 41:00Speaker 17: So, the Second Amendment Foundation was founded in nineteen seventy
- 41:03Speaker 17: four and it really has two missions, legal action and
- 41:06Speaker 17: public education. So to that end, on the legal action side,
- 41:09Speaker 17: we have over fifty five active lawsuits all across the
- 41:12Speaker 17: country challenging various violations of Second Amendment issues. We have
- 41:16Speaker 17: a Supreme Court case win in McDonald Verars City Chicago,
- 41:20Speaker 17: the case that allows everybody to sue the various states
- 41:22Speaker 17: and local governments for Second Amendment violations. And this term,
- 41:27Speaker 17: the Supreme Court is going to be hearing two more
- 41:29Speaker 17: of our cases dealing with the assault weapons ban issue.
- 41:32Speaker 17: So really the whole gamut of everything that's going on.
- 41:35Speaker 17: As far as it relates to Second Amendment stuff, whether
- 41:37Speaker 17: it's kerry purchase, possession, things like that, We're well known
- 41:41Speaker 17: for our action in that space. And then on the
- 41:43Speaker 17: public education side, of course, we want to educate the
- 41:46Speaker 17: public to create a more informed citizenry that values and
- 41:49Speaker 17: exercises the right to keep in bear.
- 41:51Speaker 2: Arms well, and that you would think that over over
- 41:55Speaker 2: the years, you know, more people would be embracing that
- 41:58Speaker 2: concept than it seems like every single day there are
- 42:01Speaker 2: people elected to office that want to take away the
- 42:05Speaker 2: rights of law abiding citizens when it comes to gun ownership.
- 42:10Speaker 17: You would think, unfortunately, and I think one of the
- 42:13Speaker 17: things that I've made is a personal observation on this,
- 42:15Speaker 17: has been the further away we get in time from
- 42:18Speaker 17: the adoption of any of the Bill of Rights, the
- 42:20Speaker 17: less people understand the importance and why we have those rights.
- 42:24Speaker 17: And as far as the Second Amendments concerned, you don't
- 42:26Speaker 17: really have to look all that far back in history.
- 42:28Speaker 17: There's a lot of contemporary examples as to why an
- 42:31Speaker 17: armed populace is good for the people to preserve their liberty.
- 42:37Speaker 2: We talk about that a lot on the program. We
- 42:39Speaker 2: do a segment called good Guy with a gun, because
- 42:43Speaker 2: there have been so many instances and you mentioned in
- 42:45Speaker 2: just recent memory where law abiding gun owners have been
- 42:49Speaker 2: able to stop very bad people from doing even worse
- 42:52Speaker 2: things because they engaged in their constitutional rights.
- 42:57Speaker 17: Yes, I mean there's clearly many examples here in recent
- 43:01Speaker 17: time of you know, peaceable individuals who are carrying firearms
- 43:04Speaker 17: for defense of themselves their families having intervened and stopped
- 43:08Speaker 17: things from becoming more horrific. You know, the Idaho incident
- 43:12Speaker 17: the other week is just one example where an armed
- 43:14Speaker 17: citizen in conjunction with some others were able to detern
- 43:18Speaker 17: individual who was bent on causing havoc and taking lives
- 43:21Speaker 17: for no apparent reason.
- 43:23Speaker 2: And what would you say, as you guys are looking
- 43:27Speaker 2: at the landscape, what would you say is the greatest
- 43:30Speaker 2: threat right now we're facing to gun ownership in the country.
- 43:35Speaker 17: I think apathy of gun owners is a fairly big threat.
- 43:38Speaker 17: And I hate to say it, but when you look
- 43:39Speaker 17: at you know, gun owners voting and the number of
- 43:42Speaker 17: gun owners that are not even registered to vote elections
- 43:45Speaker 17: have consequences then of course, you know, we see this
- 43:48Speaker 17: with Trump's first administration. We got three Supreme Court justices
- 43:52Speaker 17: out of that, and a Supreme Court that is, you know,
- 43:55Speaker 17: with conservative justices who interpret the Constitution in a manner
- 43:58Speaker 17: that honors Second Amendment and understands its original intent and
- 44:02Speaker 17: meaning has a lot of impact when it comes to states.
- 44:07Speaker 17: Then you know, with politicians passing laws that are in
- 44:09Speaker 17: violation of the Constitution, ultimately the Supreme Court can weigh
- 44:13Speaker 17: in strike down those laws as unconstitutional.
- 44:16Speaker 2: Would what would you say and what are you guys
- 44:18Speaker 2: doing to get those those gun owners out to vote
- 44:22Speaker 2: and engage in the political process.
- 44:25Speaker 17: So the Second Amendment foundation is a five oh one
- 44:27Speaker 17: C three, so we're a little more limited than some
- 44:30Speaker 17: of our counterparts that are better known in their C
- 44:32Speaker 17: four status. Essentially, what we do is the public education
- 44:36Speaker 17: side of things, of explaining the importance of why people
- 44:39Speaker 17: should care about the issue the policy issues that come
- 44:42Speaker 17: along with it, so that people, when they go to
- 44:45Speaker 17: the polls can make an informed decision as to, hey,
- 44:47Speaker 17: if I'm voting this way, this is likely the policy
- 44:49Speaker 17: ramification that will affect myself, my family, my friends, et cetera.
- 44:54Speaker 2: And as a part of that education process, so you
- 44:57Speaker 2: guys are also doing some great conferdasors a gun rights
- 45:00Speaker 2: policy conference that's coming up, and I understand Harmeat Dellan
- 45:05Speaker 2: is going to be at this event and we'll be
- 45:09Speaker 2: speaking there. That's going to be pretty exciting.
- 45:11Speaker 17: Yeah. So the Gun Rights Policy Conference, it's its forty
- 45:14Speaker 17: first annual years gathering of lawyers, scholars, activists who are
- 45:19Speaker 17: the people on the front lines of this fight in
- 45:21Speaker 17: their various states and at the federal level. This year,
- 45:24Speaker 17: we're very excited that, you know, not only do we
- 45:25Speaker 17: have Harmeat Dylan coming, Barry Errington, the Second Amendment Section Chief,
- 45:30Speaker 17: will be there. Rob Cicada and Robert Leider from ATF
- 45:34Speaker 17: will also be there, in addition to a number of
- 45:37Speaker 17: other speakers that are you know, again doing this day
- 45:40Speaker 17: in and day out to preserve and restore Second Amendment
- 45:42Speaker 17: rights across the country.
- 45:44Speaker 2: And again, folks, if you'd like information on the conference
- 45:47Speaker 2: coming up in September, s a f dot org is
- 45:51Speaker 2: the website and we'll post that up on the website
- 45:53Speaker 2: as well. Our website s A F dot o RG.
- 45:57Speaker 2: We're always encouraging our folks to join important organizations like
- 46:03Speaker 2: the Second Amendment Foundation, and of course you guys welcome
- 46:06Speaker 2: folks to join and get a membership. Let's take our
- 46:10Speaker 2: listeners through that process, they join the Second Amendment Foundation,
- 46:14Speaker 2: What does that look like?
- 46:16Speaker 17: Sure, I mean, I'll give you one very important reason
- 46:18Speaker 17: that it matters. And when joining an organization right now,
- 46:21Speaker 17: what we've seen the courts do is when they are
- 46:24Speaker 17: granting an injunction or pausing or stopping the enforcement of
- 46:27Speaker 17: a particular law, the courts are limiting that relief to
- 46:31Speaker 17: the plaintiffs before it. So in the case of a
- 46:33Speaker 17: membership organization like the Second Amendment Foundation, where we're bringing
- 46:37Speaker 17: a challenge, and I'll give you an example in the
- 46:38Speaker 17: moment when the court finds that the laws unconstitutional can't
- 46:42Speaker 17: be upheld, when it's ordering relief, it's for the named plaintiffs,
- 46:46Speaker 17: so the individuals that are part of it, and members
- 46:48Speaker 17: of the membership organizations that may be a part of
- 46:50Speaker 17: it as well. So if we look at the recent
- 46:53Speaker 17: decision coming out of the Northern District of Texas as
- 46:56Speaker 17: it relates to the National Firearms Act there, it's one
- 47:00Speaker 17: of three cases that we're funding challenging that. In that
- 47:03Speaker 17: particular case, our sister organization was the name plaintiff. Our
- 47:06Speaker 17: case is still pending in Missouri, but the judge said
- 47:09Speaker 17: that the relief extends to the individual's name, so there
- 47:12Speaker 17: was a handful of those, some of the gun shops
- 47:14Speaker 17: that were named, and then the membership organization, so if
- 47:17Speaker 17: you were a member of the organization, that relief extends
- 47:20Speaker 17: to you. A more contemporary example, you know where SAFF
- 47:23Speaker 17: was recently a plaintiff deals with the injunction as it
- 47:26Speaker 17: relates to carry and post offices. There the court said
- 47:29Speaker 17: that it applies to the members of the organization and
- 47:32Speaker 17: in that case, SAFF was a named plaintiff.
- 47:35Speaker 2: All right, Adam a crowd executive director of the Second
- 47:38Speaker 2: Amendment Foundation. Again, folks, if you'd like information on becoming
- 47:42Speaker 2: a member, which I strongly encourage you to do, go
- 47:46Speaker 2: to saf dot org. You'll also be able to find
- 47:49Speaker 2: information about their upcoming conference in Dallas. Harmeet Dillon among
- 47:53Speaker 2: some of the incredible speakers at the event. And Adam,
- 47:57Speaker 2: we're excited to to chat with you down the road.
- 48:01Speaker 2: This is your inaugural visit with us, but we're excited
- 48:04Speaker 2: to help shine a light on the big issues facing
- 48:09Speaker 2: Second Amendment, the Second Amendment across the country. Thank you
- 48:12Speaker 2: so much for coming on the show today.
- 48:14Speaker 17: Yeah, thanks for having me.
- 48:15Speaker 2: Appreciate it, all right, Adam Krout. Everybody with the Second
- 48:18Speaker 2: Amendment Foundation very excited about this group and the great
- 48:22Speaker 2: work they've been doing for really generations now, and it
- 48:26Speaker 2: is important for us to partner with these organizations as
- 48:29Speaker 2: they're standing up and fighting for our freedom across this
- 48:33Speaker 2: great country. All Right, we've got to take a break here, folks.

- 49:35Speaker 2: I'm I want to direct your attention to something on
- 49:38Speaker 2: our website. We've we've got the video posted for you
- 49:41Speaker 2: to check out at Todd Stearns dot com. Uh. There
- 49:45Speaker 2: are drag queens out in California and they do these
- 49:49Speaker 2: I don't know, these shows whatever they call them, at
- 49:54Speaker 2: these drag bars, I guess, or gay clubs whatever, I
- 49:59Speaker 2: don't know. Anyway, whatever you call them, they're doing these
- 50:02Speaker 2: these shows, and this one particular show, and we have
- 50:06Speaker 2: the video of it for you to see for yourself.
- 50:08Speaker 2: It's beyond repulsive and disgusting. But it's important for you
- 50:12Speaker 2: to see this because you need to understand what's going
- 50:16Speaker 2: on in this country. And these drag queens are literally
- 50:19Speaker 2: re enacting the assassination of Charlie Kirk on stage, and
- 50:24Speaker 2: they mock Charlie Kirk, mock President Trump, mock Erica Kirk.
- 50:30Speaker 2: It's really disgusting stuff. And apparently they're going to be
- 50:35Speaker 2: doing there are multiple gay clubs in California they're going
- 50:38Speaker 2: to be hosting all of this stuff. And I was
- 50:41Speaker 2: reading through some of the comments. One of the drag
- 50:44Speaker 2: queens posted the video on TikTok and by the way,
- 50:50Speaker 2: all right, I'll finish this loot and get Dylan. Remind me.
- 50:53Speaker 2: I've got a TikTok story to share with you. So anyway,
- 50:56Speaker 2: I shared it on TikTok, and I would say about
- 50:59Speaker 2: ninety percent of the comments we're actually supporting the drag queens.
- 51:04Speaker 2: So there is a large segment of the population that
- 51:08Speaker 2: thinks it's okay to celebrate the assassination of somebody. This
- 51:12Speaker 2: is purely demonic. Ladies and gentlemen, this is evil, This
- 51:16Speaker 2: is satanic. It is demonic from the pit of hell.
- 51:21Speaker 2: But this is who a large swath of the American
- 51:24Speaker 2: people are. Very disturbing, very disturbing. Anyway, be careful. If
- 51:29Speaker 2: you're a kid, you don't need to be watching the video.
- 51:31Speaker 2: But adults, mom, dad, go check this out over at
- 51:34Speaker 2: Todd Stearns dot com right now and you'll see what
- 51:37Speaker 2: I'm talking about. No, I'm not exaggerating here. Oh, I've
- 51:40Speaker 2: got to tell you the TikTok story. So, Dylan, I
- 51:44Speaker 2: posted the video about the I did a little commentary
- 51:47Speaker 2: on the Muslim foot washing stations. They're at Dallas Fort
- 51:53Speaker 2: Worth International Airport, and I captioned it stinky feet with
- 51:58Speaker 2: a question mark. Stinky Feet, and TikTok they abandoned, TikTok pulled.
- 52:05Speaker 2: They said I violated their community standards, and I was
- 52:09Speaker 2: kind of taken aback. I didn't realize they actually had standards,
- 52:12Speaker 2: because clearly it's okay for someone to post video of
- 52:18Speaker 2: drag queens mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk, but you
- 52:22Speaker 2: can't post a story about the governor of Texas removing
- 52:27Speaker 2: these muscle and foot washing stations from bathrooms.
- 52:31Speaker 8: They have standards, and they're called double standards.
- 52:34Speaker 2: Oh oh, very well played, very well played.
- 52:39Speaker 8: I'm not surprised at all that it got taken down.
- 52:43Speaker 2: I was so proud I finally figured out how to
- 52:45Speaker 2: do that, like the large print stuff, you know, like
- 52:47Speaker 2: graphics and everything. Stinky feet and yeah, got your hard work. Yeah,
- 52:54Speaker 2: violation of community standards. Meanwhile, you can go and watch
- 52:58Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk get assassinated by drag queen go figure unbelievable.
- 53:03Speaker 2: I was talking to a few other folks that really talking,
- 53:06Speaker 2: I was texting, and apparently TikTok is now cracking down
- 53:10Speaker 2: on what they consider to be anti Islamic rhetoric on
- 53:15Speaker 2: their pages. So a lot of people have had their
- 53:18Speaker 2: videos removed. Anybody who says anything negative against you know,
- 53:24Speaker 2: against Muslims, you're going to get in big trouble. Oh,
- 53:28Speaker 2: we've got the mail bag. You know, we haven't done
- 53:31Speaker 2: the mail bag in a very long time. And you
- 53:34Speaker 2: folks have been really sending us some very lovely items.
- 53:39Speaker 2: So first of all, this is from Martin and Linda Bennett.
- 53:45Speaker 2: They sent us a lovely card. Thank you for all
- 53:47Speaker 2: you do, Linda writing for all your strength, for all
- 53:53Speaker 2: your sacrifice. I am grateful Martin and I enjoy listening
- 53:57Speaker 2: to your radio show. Thank you for all you do.
- 54:02Speaker 2: And they send us these lovely little ornaments, handmade ornaments
- 54:05Speaker 2: for all of us on staff. Dylan, did you see
- 54:08Speaker 2: they're very nice?

- 58:17Speaker 2: Hope you're doing well, Hope your summer has been going well.
- 58:20Speaker 18: My summer has been going well, thank you, and what
- 58:22Speaker 18: a lovely introduction. Uh yeah, everything's great. You know, I'm
- 58:27Speaker 18: engaged in looking at all these primaries. A lot of fun,
- 58:30Speaker 18: right watching all these Democrats, socialists popple incumbent Democrats and
- 58:35Speaker 18: all the Democrats squealing about it. I mean, my goodness,
- 58:39Speaker 18: it's pretty interesting. And I don't think many of these
- 58:44Speaker 18: DSA candidates are going to make it to national office.
- 58:47Speaker 18: I certainly hope not, but wow, you know is I
- 58:53Speaker 18: enjoyed every bit of watching the Democrats go after each
- 58:56Speaker 18: other over the last several weeks, and I think it's
- 58:58Speaker 18: only going to get worse we approach November.
- 59:01Speaker 2: The story out of Florida the Senate race with on
- 59:05Speaker 2: the Democrat side, which so what Nate Silver has already
- 59:09Speaker 2: He's moved that race from likely Republican to safely Republican
- 59:14Speaker 2: after the DSA member Angie Dixon, I mean, she took
- 59:18Speaker 2: Andrew Vemmen to the woodshed. That was really remarkable.
- 59:24Speaker 18: It is, but it's sort of a classic confrontation between
- 59:27Speaker 18: these DSA members and an establishment person in that apparently
- 59:34Speaker 18: Vinman sort of sat back on his heels, didn't do
- 59:37Speaker 18: very aggressive campaigning. Wouldn't debate Angie Nixon. It was sort
- 59:43Speaker 18: of like the AOC contest way back when, right when
- 59:45Speaker 18: she remember she debated an empty share and it really
- 59:49Speaker 18: won her a lot of plaudits for sort of pluck
- 59:52Speaker 18: and enthusiasm. And that's what this crowd has. Let's be clear.
- 59:56Speaker 18: They are all about turnout, bringing young people into the mix,
- 1:00:01Speaker 18: et cetera. And there's a lot of energy there and
- 1:00:03Speaker 18: I think Republicans need to take them very seriously. I'm
- 1:00:07Speaker 18: not joking about them. I do enjoy the conflict in
- 1:00:11Speaker 18: the Democratic Party right now, but everyone needs to take
- 1:00:15Speaker 18: these people scariously, even though they are manifestly not serious people.
- 1:00:20Speaker 18: I just tweeted something about Mom Donnie, who's sort of
- 1:00:24Speaker 18: the ringleader of the DSA troop, if you will. Mom
- 1:00:28Speaker 18: Donnie is out on X today boasting about the fact
- 1:00:32Speaker 18: that he's taxpayers will again put it this way, but
- 1:00:36Speaker 18: then he's basically going to give young Mary's a night
- 1:00:40Speaker 18: out by giving them free childcare. Well just think about that.
- 1:00:44Speaker 18: Think of all the single people in New York City
- 1:00:46Speaker 18: who are going to pay for that, and the boomers
- 1:00:49Speaker 18: who don't have kids who are going to pay for that.
- 1:00:51Speaker 18: Why is he targeting one particular group because that's who
- 1:00:55Speaker 18: voted for him. I mean, it's the most unbelievably sort
- 1:00:57Speaker 18: of cynical pandering to the group to put you in office.
- 1:01:01Speaker 18: So maybe everybody does that, but wow, you know, I
- 1:01:06Speaker 18: just think it's really brazen and that that's sort of
- 1:01:09Speaker 18: their trademarkt They're going to kind of do stuff that
- 1:01:12Speaker 18: offends us, They're going to do it happily. They're going
- 1:01:15Speaker 18: to say vile things that The one thing I'd say
- 1:01:17Speaker 18: about Angie Nixon is that she did not go after Israel.
- 1:01:22Speaker 18: She did not. I don't believe she had a lot
- 1:01:25Speaker 18: of anti Semitism in her repartee. It was mostly Medicare
- 1:01:29Speaker 18: for all. How she's going to cap national rents, which
- 1:01:32Speaker 18: is ridiculous. Hassan Piker though, was certainly on her team
- 1:01:36Speaker 18: so or campaigning for her, So it's probable that there
- 1:01:40Speaker 18: was some anti Semitic any Israel dialogue, but Benman and
- 1:01:46Speaker 18: she basically it was about kind of turning out, turning
- 1:01:50Speaker 18: out and economic issues I think, not not Israel, which
- 1:01:56Speaker 18: you know, Moscowitch. The other big Democrat primary was about
- 1:02:00Speaker 18: or at least a unknowable one for the DSA with
- 1:02:03Speaker 18: Jared Moskowitz, who clabbered his opponent. Oh yeah, you know,
- 1:02:06Speaker 18: so that was kind of reassuring. I think everybody.
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: I again, I agreed with The New York Times. Here
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: the stunning takeaway for me is Vinman spent more than
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: sixteen millions yea, sixteen million dollars. She raised nine hundred
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: and seventy five thousand dollars. So what is that? What
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: does that tell you? And how should because that's not
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: the only time you know someone who has not raised
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: that much money has actually, you know, done well and
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: has earned a victory. What do we what do we
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: read into that?
- 1:02:35Speaker 18: Social media? I think these are TikTok campaigns, TikTok candidates.
- 1:02:40Speaker 18: That's what Mamdani did. He was all over social media.
- 1:02:43Speaker 18: Who's on social media? Young people? And look at Hassan Piker.
- 1:02:47Speaker 18: He's got millions of followers on Twitch. For heaven's sakes,
- 1:02:50Speaker 18: I never even had heard of Twitch until Hassan Piker
- 1:02:53Speaker 18: sort of hove onto the scene and it turned out
- 1:02:56Speaker 18: that he had this huge following and could be somewhat
- 1:02:59Speaker 18: influential at least helpful and also awful in these campaigns.
- 1:03:05Speaker 18: But you know, that's where the action is right now,
- 1:03:07Speaker 18: and I you know, Todd, there have been rumblings for
- 1:03:10Speaker 18: a number of years about campaign money being misused, basically
- 1:03:16Speaker 18: lining the pockets of the people who are supposed to
- 1:03:19Speaker 18: be organizing campaigns as opposed to like real advertisers, making
- 1:03:24Speaker 18: sure the money has spent the most effective way. If
- 1:03:27Speaker 18: I was Inland, I want to if I were the
- 1:03:29Speaker 18: Democrat establishment, I would want to look into where he
- 1:03:31Speaker 18: spent his money, who did that, who organized it, and
- 1:03:34Speaker 18: where it fell short because boys sure didn't work out.
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: No, no, not at all. As a matter of fact,
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: there's an interesting twist in Tennessee where we've just had
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: the gubernatorial race, Marshall Blackburn winning a pretty contentious Republican primary.
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: There's an independent guy who's going to run in the race.
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: He's a very wealthy businessman, and he's actually hired the
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: team that did Spencer Prantz videos. And I look unless Marcia,
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: you know, completely implodes. You know, this is her race.
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: I mean, it's a we're a rock solid red state.
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: But it is interesting that you brought up the whole
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: social media aspect.
- 1:04:12Speaker 18: Sure, well, I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but
- 1:04:16Speaker 18: it's pretty cheap to be all over the place on
- 1:04:18Speaker 18: social media. And also I would say this, my impression
- 1:04:22Speaker 18: is again that Antie Dick Nixon sorry Nixon, was out
- 1:04:26Speaker 18: on that campaign trail. She was ringing doorbells, She had
- 1:04:29Speaker 18: people working with her to actually go door to door
- 1:04:32Speaker 18: and campaign. And by the way, so did Jared Moskowitz's opponent.
- 1:04:38Speaker 18: He did the same thing, whereas Ben then really couldn't
- 1:04:41Speaker 18: be bothered. So I do think there's a lot to
- 1:04:44Speaker 18: be said for old fashioned in person campaigning, showing up
- 1:04:48Speaker 18: at various places talking to people, and then also using
- 1:04:52Speaker 18: social media. Just it really cuts a lot of corners.
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: Sure know, you're absolutely right about that. And again there's
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: something about pressing the flesh. Andy Ogles got beat the
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: incumbent Republican in the primary. He was redistricted and a
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: big chunk of his new district was in Memphis, and
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: he called me up and said, you know, any guidance,
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: I said, you need to be here and you need
- 1:05:12Speaker 2: to be meeting people. He never did, and he ended
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: up losing.
- 1:05:16Speaker 18: So you know, you can only how do you run
- 1:05:18Speaker 18: for office and not get that? I really don't understand that.
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: I don't either. I don't either, Liz. Again, I'm old
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: school like that. Though, you were on with Kevin Cork,
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: one of my favorite guys over at Fox, and you know,
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: a lot of folks are not familiar with Hassan Piker,
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: who's one of these far left streamers, and he's sort
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: of the darling of the DSA movement. But as you
- 1:05:42Speaker 2: point out, the reality is this guy, this self described Marxist,
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: lives in a three million dollar townhouse.
- 1:05:48Speaker 18: Yeah, and he drives a Mercedes. And look, I mean,
- 1:05:53Speaker 18: I think there's a real common thread here. Most of
- 1:05:55Speaker 18: these DSA people, like Mamdani by the way, and like
- 1:05:59Speaker 18: the head of the DSA in New York City and
- 1:06:01Speaker 18: so forth, they come from wealthy families. They're mostly Muslims.
- 1:06:05Speaker 18: They come from wealthy families who bought them homes, as
- 1:06:08Speaker 18: in the case of Hausun Piker. They rarely, rarely have
- 1:06:11Speaker 18: had any kind of real job. They're always described as
- 1:06:14Speaker 18: community activists, which I think, you know, could be almost
- 1:06:17Speaker 18: anybody really, And in the case of Piker, his distinguishing characteristic,
- 1:06:23Speaker 18: and it's is true of some of these others as well,
- 1:06:26Speaker 18: is that he's so variantly toxically anti Semitic, anti Israel.
- 1:06:31Speaker 18: He says he's not anti Semitic. He just hates Israel.
- 1:06:34Speaker 18: But you know you can't, Yeah, you can't really say
- 1:06:37Speaker 18: that Hamas and Hezbla are really better that better organizations,
- 1:06:42Speaker 18: better people than Israel without they're kind of bringing this
- 1:06:45Speaker 18: into question, right, but also honestly, Todd the other thing,
- 1:06:49Speaker 18: and he used to take note of this. He curses
- 1:06:53Speaker 18: all the time. His language is appalling. So he's going
- 1:06:57Speaker 18: after the bros, you know, the gamer bros twice on Twitch,
- 1:07:01Speaker 18: millions of followers on which is a gaming fight mainly.
- 1:07:06Speaker 18: And this is kind of the Democrat's answer to how
- 1:07:09Speaker 18: to bring back young men into the conlumn. I think
- 1:07:11Speaker 18: it's really disgusting.
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: Well, it is just you know, we've tried to play
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: some of his audio, but it takes our team forever
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: to bleep out all the words.
- 1:07:19Speaker 18: I that's true. I bet that actually really is true.
- 1:07:22Speaker 7: That's funny.
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: All right, Liz, we've got to leave it. They're always
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: great hearing from you, lizpeak dot com. Folks. Got to
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: go and reader stuff. Thanks Liz, thank.
- 1:07:32Speaker 18: You, thanks for having me on.
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: All right, it's true, Dylan, right you I mean that
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: aggravates you because you're the audio guy and you know
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: you got to sit there and you got to bleep
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: all this this language.
- 1:07:44Speaker 8: Yeah, it does. It takes up a lot of time,
- 1:07:46Speaker 8: and there's a lot of audio to get to, so
- 1:07:47Speaker 8: I don't want to be wasting it.
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: No, no, no, And then you know, you don't want
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: to like just play fifty seconds of you know, bleeps.
- 1:07:55Speaker 8: Yeah, you don't even know what's happening at that point.
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: And that's just on Piker right there.
- 1:07:58Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I know who that guy is just because
- 1:08:00Speaker 8: of twitch. And it's not good. Not a good situation.
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: No, no, no, three million dollar townhouse that the Marxist
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: lives in. Yeah, all right, gotta take up break here, folks.
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: So we had Chad Connlelly on earlier and Conley says
- 1:08:20Speaker 2: he is he is worried and he feels like the
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: Republicans have lost the big momentum. What do you think
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: the Republicans need to do to get back the momentum?
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: Do you agree with that or do you believe this
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: is going to be a huge, huge mid term election,
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: big time victory for the Republicans. Nine oh one two
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: six zero five to nine two six. This is the
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: Todd Sterns Show. All right, welcome back everybody. This is
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: the Tod Sterns Radio Show. Coming up. Congress Van Keith
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: self joins us from Texas. Also doctor Robert Jeffers, the
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas. I'll be
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: at First Baptist Dallas on Sunday. Look forward to meeting
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: all of you find folks there. All right, let's go
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: to the phone lines. Cindy and Cleveland, Georgia listening to
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: us on wdun. Hi, Cindy, what's on your mind?
- 1:09:23Speaker 13: Todd?
- 1:09:24Speaker 19: I met you at trut McConnell a few years ago
- 1:09:27Speaker 19: and got.
- 1:09:27Speaker 15: Your biscuit book.
- 1:09:29Speaker 16: Well, and you and Sarah were there.
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: Good lord? What was that? Was somebody? You have a
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: dog there? So I thought I heard somebody barking.
- 1:09:39Speaker 19: No, I'm in the car driving.
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: Okay, all right, good stuff, good.
- 1:09:43Speaker 19: Stuff I'm getting. I don't have a lot of facts.
- 1:09:47Speaker 19: The last lady was very good with the facts. I
- 1:09:50Speaker 19: loved it. But I am getting so upset at conservative
- 1:09:56Speaker 19: media for not telling me what the Republicans are doing
- 1:10:00Speaker 19: and what the Conservatives are doing. All we hear is
- 1:10:03Speaker 19: DSA and the socialist lists. We're hearing all that, but
- 1:10:08Speaker 19: I don't ever hear anybody tell me what the Republican
- 1:10:12Speaker 19: candidates are doing. And I just feel like the RNC
- 1:10:18Speaker 19: or the Jill whatever you call us, has to be
- 1:10:21Speaker 19: have a plan to get people.
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: Out to vote.
- 1:10:24Speaker 19: And I would like to hear you share maybe some
- 1:10:29Speaker 19: positive conservative things. Fox News is nothing but DSA and
- 1:10:35Speaker 19: I'm sorry, I love them all. I love the Five,
- 1:10:39Speaker 19: but they're all about the socialists and the anti Semitic
- 1:10:44Speaker 19: and the bad stuff. I want to hear some positive.
- 1:10:48Speaker 15: Republicans stuff, Sydney.
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: I'm going to share something with you. And I don't
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: know if this will make you feel better, maybe not,
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: but it's it's the reality and why everybody's talking about
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: on the Republican side of the als talking about DSA
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: is that's what they're running against. You know, they're not
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: running for what they're for, They're running against DSA. And this,
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: this is troubling to me. I was actually talking to
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: a candidate, well a candidate's team the other day, and
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: they're running for They're a Republican running for a seat
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: in Congress. And I asked this one question, I said,
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: what why is your guy running Why? Why is your
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: guy running for Congress and didn't get a very clear
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: answer on that. So I to your point, I think
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: you're highlighting a very important issue, Cindy, is that the
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: Republicans need to outline what they are for, not what
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: they are against.
- 1:11:49Speaker 19: I want to hear some conservative views, and I want
- 1:11:51Speaker 19: to hear what they are far and how they what
- 1:11:55Speaker 19: their plan is to get people to vote.
- 1:11:57Speaker 4: That is the thing.
- 1:11:58Speaker 6: I mean.
- 1:11:59Speaker 19: Are we gonna take all Atlanta down here and to me,
- 1:12:02Speaker 19: we're gonna bust them to the polls? What are we
- 1:12:04Speaker 19: gonna do so we you know, there's we need to
- 1:12:09Speaker 19: keep conservatives in and we need to get people out
- 1:12:13Speaker 19: to vote. And I think that most of them are older.
- 1:12:17Speaker 19: They may need to ride, you know, there may be
- 1:12:19Speaker 19: something that some of us can do. I'm sick right
- 1:12:22Speaker 19: now and can't do much, but I'd love to hear
- 1:12:25Speaker 19: on Fox News some Republican.
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: Views, Cindy. It's a fair point you bring up. And again,
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: this is the job of the r NC, and this
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: is the job of the state Republican Party and the
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: local Republican parties to get out the vote, to get
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: people energized, to get them excited, you know, letting people know,
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: you know, to to go get their neighbors and bring
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: the neighbors to the to go and vote. These are
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: important things. And you're right, it's not being done and
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: we didn't see it happened during the primaries, which was
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: a big alarm bell for me. U. But right now, Oh,
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: if you if you asked me, what are the Republicans
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: running on, Cindy, what do you think the Republicans are
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: running on?
- 1:13:07Speaker 19: Well, a hope on life is self and I'll ask
- 1:13:13Speaker 19: you know all and in support of Israel, and you know,
- 1:13:17Speaker 19: there's so many things. In my mind. I thought the
- 1:13:20Speaker 19: republic at the head of the rn C last year
- 1:13:23Speaker 19: did such a wonderful job. When when uh and I
- 1:13:28Speaker 19: don't know, I don't remember his name, but uh, I thought,
- 1:13:32Speaker 19: where is he?
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: Well, he's running for he's running for the Senate in
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: North Carolina. Michael Whatley, I think is the guy you
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: may be thinking about. Yes, Cindy, this it's a big
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: deal and you're absolutely right to bring that up. We're
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: gonna we will, we will continue to focus on this.
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: I do I do have to leave it there, Sindy,
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: because we're super late for a break here. But I
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: certainly appreciate you calling in. I hope you gets a
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: feeling better too. I I know what that's like to
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: be under the weather. That's a very unpleasant. By the way,
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: you folks in Gainesville, you're asking about Barnes and Noble.
- 1:14:07Speaker 2: We got a note Tom, where can we get the
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: book the Dawsonville Barnes and Noble, you guys are, they're
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: already out of stock there. However, you can get copies
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: in store at the Mall of Georgia, and also that's
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: over in Buford, and also the collection at Forsyth which
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: is in coming Georgia, and you'll be able to get
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: You'll be able to get copies there. Buckhead and East Cobb,
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: you guys are already sold out of the book there.
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: So River Bend Marketplace that's in Rome for all of
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: our listeners in northwest Georgia, you'll be able to get
- 1:14:43Speaker 2: a copy there in store. So books are going fast.
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: I would recommend calling the bookstore and they can actually
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: set aside a copy for you. But again, many of
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: the stores are already reporting they're out of stock, and
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: looks like that first printing is going very very quickly.
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: I know Amazon, they still have a lot of copies
- 1:15:03Speaker 2: as as well. All Right, nine oh one two six
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: zero five nine two six is our telephone number. That's
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six,
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: and it will be taking your calls coming up. Congressman
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: Keith self, doctor Robert Jeffers will be here in the meantime.
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: Head over to Todd Sterns dot com. We have some
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: great news stories up, including this crazy story out of
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: Denver where the communist the Communists are trying to shut
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: down a Christian coffee house. Unbelievable. Go read our story
- 1:15:38Speaker 2: Todd Sterns dot com. We'll be right back.
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: America's conservative Blowtorch.
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: Says that.
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: This American to start well, yea, and here we are,
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, seventy six days until the midterm election,
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: seventy six days until america first patriots stop the Socialist surge.
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: Great to have you with us today on the program.
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: We have got a lot of ground to cover coming
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: up a little bit later on. This is sort of
- 1:16:37Speaker 2: a Texas centric hour of the show. Our good friend
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: doctor Robert Jeffers, from the First Baptist Church in Dallas
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: will be joining us in just a little while. But
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: one of the lawmakers that is unafraid to say what
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: needs to be said as we watch the rise of
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: not only socialism, but the rise of political Islam in America,
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: is our good friend, Congressman Keith self from the third
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: Congressional District in Texas. Congressman, good to have you with
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: us today. All right, Congressman, good to have you with
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: us today.
- 1:17:20Speaker 14: Yo. Dodd, good to be here. Thank you.
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: You know, Congressman, I think there was a lot of
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: shock over the news in recent days of what was
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: happening at the airport there in Houston, as well as
- 1:17:34Speaker 2: a Dallas Fort Worth with the installation of these Muslim
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: foot washing stations and also adjacent prayer rooms. Were you
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: surprised that this was going on in the Lone Star state?
- 1:17:50Speaker 14: Actually I heard about it when everybody else did. But
- 1:17:52Speaker 14: it doesn't surprise me because this is the way they
- 1:17:55Speaker 14: do business. Look, they have gone back through the records
- 1:17:58Speaker 14: of the airport for this latest foot washing installation. It's
- 1:18:04Speaker 14: not been approved anywhere that they can find. That's what's surprising,
- 1:18:08Speaker 14: because if it's not being approved by the authorities and
- 1:18:11Speaker 14: the board of the airport. Who then is doing it?
- 1:18:14Speaker 14: That's the question, Todd.
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: Well, it's a good question. And I remember maybe it
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: was about a year ago, maybe not that long ago,
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: that a minister, a Baptist pastor, stopped into one of
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: the chapels there at DFW and was told he was
- 1:18:31Speaker 2: not allowed to go inside because the Islamists we're using
- 1:18:35Speaker 2: the facility for prayers. And I know there was a
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: lot of uproar there. I'm just it just seems to
- 1:18:41Speaker 2: me and I caught a little bit of flak late
- 1:18:45Speaker 2: last week when I wondered what exactly are the elected
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: leaders there in Texas doing to stop all of this.
- 1:18:52Speaker 14: Well, I think the elected leaders are not doing enough,
- 1:18:56Speaker 14: which is why I started the Sharia Free America Caucus
- 1:19:00Speaker 14: with Chip Roy, another Texan. We now have a Sharia
- 1:19:03Speaker 14: Free Texas started by Brent Money in the Texas House.
- 1:19:07Speaker 14: But the people are going to have to do this, Todd.
- 1:19:10Speaker 14: That's what's happened in McKinney recently. The people are going
- 1:19:13Speaker 14: to have to start understanding the danger of political Islam
- 1:19:18Speaker 14: as it makes its way into Texas. And frankly, I
- 1:19:20Speaker 14: live at ground zero right here in North Texas. We
- 1:19:23Speaker 14: are being overrun by new mosque, new installations, new plans,
- 1:19:30Speaker 14: new compounds.
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: Congressman, when I saw you, and I was watching that
- 1:19:37Speaker 2: meeting at the council and saw you, and I thought,
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: you know what, God bless Congressman's self because you don't
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: you didn't have to be there, but you were there.
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: And I know so many people were so appreciative of
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: the fact that their congressman was standing alongside of them.
- 1:19:54Speaker 2: The question is what can we do about it?
- 1:19:58Speaker 14: Well, I just wrote a piece that Texas Corecard published.
- 1:20:02Speaker 14: It started out with we are losing Texas. But this
- 1:20:06Speaker 14: is where the people must start learning about political Islam.
- 1:20:10Speaker 14: They've got to start learning how they pushed back. They've
- 1:20:13Speaker 14: got to start going to school board meetings, city council meetings,
- 1:20:17Speaker 14: county commissioner court meetings and making their voices heard. This
- 1:20:21Speaker 14: is going to have to be a grassroots movement to
- 1:20:25Speaker 14: energize the elected officials, because that's where we need to
- 1:20:29Speaker 14: get the elected officials moving in Texas.
- 1:20:32Speaker 2: Congressman, when you look at the rise of political Islam,
- 1:20:37Speaker 2: where we're watching the rise of DSA, a number of
- 1:20:41Speaker 2: their candidates are are winning these primaries. What concerns you
- 1:20:46Speaker 2: about all of this and what should the American people
- 1:20:49Speaker 2: be looking at here?
- 1:20:51Speaker 14: Well, what concerns me is that they are winning. The
- 1:20:54Speaker 14: Communists are winning the Red Green Alliance because they are
- 1:20:59Speaker 14: aligned now to take down the United States and the
- 1:21:02Speaker 14: US Constitution. They have nothing in common other than their
- 1:21:06Speaker 14: desire to take down the United States. That is their
- 1:21:09Speaker 14: common theme. Do you think the Queris for Palestine would
- 1:21:13Speaker 14: go to Palestine. They'd be thrown off the top of
- 1:21:15Speaker 14: the building. They have nothing in common except the desire
- 1:21:19Speaker 14: to take down the United States. So what concerns me
- 1:21:22Speaker 14: is that the young people seem to be moving toward
- 1:21:26Speaker 14: the communist party called the DSA. So this is why
- 1:21:31Speaker 14: we need to make sure that they understand. The economy's
- 1:21:35Speaker 14: moving now, Manufacturing is coming back. We've just got to
- 1:21:40Speaker 14: get our message out better because people are moving and saying,
- 1:21:44Speaker 14: maybe we'll try something else. Capitalism is the most important
- 1:21:49Speaker 14: thing in history to raise people out of poverty, out
- 1:21:53Speaker 14: of the mud into freedom.
- 1:21:56Speaker 2: I was reading something you wrote on social media about
- 1:22:00Speaker 2: the Islamization of Texas? Is this true? They're there. The
- 1:22:05Speaker 2: mayor of Houston deemed Easter a spring holiday, but they
- 1:22:10Speaker 2: openly celebrate Islamic holidays by name.
- 1:22:14Speaker 14: That is absolutely correct. Yes.
- 1:22:17Speaker 10: Uh.
- 1:22:18Speaker 14: Look, Christianity is the one religion that is being uh
- 1:22:23Speaker 14: taught tamped down in the United States. I won't go
- 1:22:25Speaker 14: further than that, but it is the one that gets harassed. Uh.
- 1:22:29Speaker 14: And this is the left. The left thinks they are
- 1:22:34Speaker 14: in the ascendancy. That's the issue here. Why do we
- 1:22:38Speaker 14: have so many emoms across the United States now openly
- 1:22:41Speaker 14: preacting sedition against the Constitution. They think they've got it won,
- 1:22:46Speaker 14: they think they have reached the tipping point, and let's
- 1:22:50Speaker 14: hope they do not. People need to wake up.
- 1:22:52Speaker 2: We just had a lady call in from from the
- 1:22:55Speaker 2: Great State of Georgia and she said she's really frustrated.
- 1:22:58Speaker 2: She watches Fox News all the time. She says, the
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: only thing she hears about is, you know, the DSA,
- 1:23:05Speaker 2: like Republicans talking about the DSA and talking about Islam
- 1:23:08Speaker 2: and talking about how bad the Democrats are. But we're
- 1:23:11Speaker 2: really not hearing what the messaging is from the Republicans
- 1:23:15Speaker 2: on the positive side of things. And I think I
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: understand where she's coming from. The reality is, I'm not
- 1:23:22Speaker 2: sure there is a cohesive message coming out of the
- 1:23:26Speaker 2: r in c over what this election cycle is really
- 1:23:30Speaker 2: all about are we off base here on this Congressman?
- 1:23:33Speaker 2: What say you?
- 1:23:36Speaker 14: Well, I think we could do better. I don't think
- 1:23:38Speaker 14: there's any doubt about it. When we make this campaign
- 1:23:41Speaker 14: only about normal versus crazy, that's not enough. We've got
- 1:23:48Speaker 14: to tell the American people what we are doing to
- 1:23:52Speaker 14: actually make lives better here in America. People don't know
- 1:23:56Speaker 14: that wages are actually up based on the one big
- 1:23:59Speaker 14: beautiful bill, the Working Families Tax Cut Act, and IRS
- 1:24:05Speaker 14: refunds are up, wages are up. That story is not
- 1:24:08Speaker 14: being told well.
- 1:24:11Speaker 2: And whose job is it to tell that story? Is
- 1:24:14Speaker 2: that something that needs to be coming from RNC. I mean,
- 1:24:17Speaker 2: they got more money they know what to do with
- 1:24:18Speaker 2: right now. But again, I just think the average voter,
- 1:24:24Speaker 2: the Republicans just seem to be in a funk right now.
- 1:24:26Speaker 2: We've got to get out of the funk so we
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: can make sure that we win at the ballot box
- 1:24:30Speaker 2: in seventy six days.
- 1:24:33Speaker 14: We absolutely need our base to come out. We need
- 1:24:36Speaker 14: the Independence to come over. We need to for the
- 1:24:39Speaker 14: Independence and the unaffiliated voters to realize that the DSA,
- 1:24:44Speaker 14: the communists are taking over the Democrat Party. So we
- 1:24:48Speaker 14: need them to realize that we need to also tell
- 1:24:51Speaker 14: our own message. That's what we have to tell the
- 1:24:54Speaker 14: people is we are actually making a difference. But you know,
- 1:24:57Speaker 14: the antipathy toward President trum by some people just shadows
- 1:25:02Speaker 14: their judgment.
- 1:25:04Speaker 2: Congressman, before we let you go, I've got to let
- 1:25:08Speaker 2: your weigh in on the flock cameras. I know you've
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: got big, big issues with those things as to a
- 1:25:13Speaker 2: lot of other Americans who love their privacy. How big
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: of a deal is that in your state?
- 1:25:21Speaker 14: Well, it's a huge deal, but it's only one part
- 1:25:23Speaker 14: of a larger deal. When you look at the Foreign
- 1:25:27Speaker 14: Intelligence Surveillance Act still does not have a warrant to
- 1:25:30Speaker 14: surveill Americans. When you look at the kill switch that
- 1:25:33Speaker 14: every car produced in twenty twenty seven will have to
- 1:25:36Speaker 14: have that will spy on you listen to you see
- 1:25:39Speaker 14: if you're impaired. Then you talk about the surveillance cameras
- 1:25:43Speaker 14: that are exploding. Then you talk about the potential central
- 1:25:48Speaker 14: bank digital currency that would have transparency into your bank account.
- 1:25:51Speaker 14: The surveillance state is growing, so the flock cameras are
- 1:25:54Speaker 14: a huge part of it. They're everywhere, and if you're
- 1:25:59Speaker 14: looking at the new the abuse stories are just flowing out.
- 1:26:03Speaker 14: So that's why people are getting frustrated. And again the
- 1:26:06Speaker 14: people are taking this into their own hands. The elected
- 1:26:09Speaker 14: officials need to listen to the people.
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: Well, Congressman, we really do appreciate you fighting the good
- 1:26:15Speaker 2: fight out there. And to thank you for being a
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: great patriot and coming on the show today.
- 1:26:21Speaker 14: Thank you, Todd. Good to see you.
- 1:26:22Speaker 2: All right, Good to see you. Congressman Keith self out
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: of the great state of Texas before we go to break,
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: by the way, and I love how he phrased this,
- 1:26:31Speaker 2: because he's right that we cannot allow political Islam to
- 1:26:35Speaker 2: take over America. We just can't do it. And it
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: seems to be happening in Texas right now. And you
- 1:26:40Speaker 2: heard the Congressman say the state and local leaders in
- 1:26:44Speaker 2: Texas need to be doing a better job of this.
- 1:26:48Speaker 2: By the way, you folks in the Houston area, I
- 1:26:51Speaker 2: just got a message, Todd. Where can we get the
- 1:26:53Speaker 2: Book of the Golden Age in the Houston area. Barnes
- 1:26:57Speaker 2: and Noble river Oaks shopping Center. Uh, they have the
- 1:27:01Speaker 2: book in stock. Also in the Woodlands. Uh, they've got
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: plenty of copies there. Uh it's bay Brook. You'll be
- 1:27:09Speaker 2: able to get the book, and the store in Spring
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: Texas they've got copies of the Golden Age as well. Again,
- 1:27:18Speaker 2: call Barnes and Noble before you go out there, because
- 1:27:21Speaker 2: these books are flying off the shelves this week as
- 1:27:25Speaker 2: the Golden Age Tour gets ready to come to town.
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: All right, gotta take a break here. Nine oh one
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six. Our telephone number,
- 1:27:34Speaker 2: that's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: This is the Todd starn Show. All right, it's been
- 1:27:50Speaker 2: sort of a busy Wednesday here on the show. Let's
- 1:27:57Speaker 2: go to the phone lines. Nine oh one two six
- 1:27:59Speaker 2: zero six. Ron in Salem orig in kykn You know, Ron,
- 1:28:05Speaker 2: I had a wonderful interview on the I'm I'm not
- 1:28:10Speaker 2: sure what time the show airs. They're on kyk N,
- 1:28:14Speaker 2: but the lovely Denise had interviewed me for the book,
- 1:28:18Speaker 2: and we just had a wonderful time. And I loved
- 1:28:21Speaker 2: hanging out with you. Guys.
- 1:28:23Speaker 11: Hey, I love hanging out with you. Brother. You signed
- 1:28:25Speaker 11: the books and send me the books and everything else.
- 1:28:28Speaker 11: But listen to this. Since January they voted on this.
- 1:28:31Speaker 11: By four twenty two, we have the unafoable healthcare for all. Okay,
- 1:28:38Speaker 11: I'm watching my friends spin up to twenty seven hundre
- 1:28:41Speaker 11: dollars from one hundred and twenty eight dollars a month
- 1:28:43Speaker 11: for fifteen medications she used to get. I'm watching them
- 1:28:47Speaker 11: take fix down our loan just to survive out of
- 1:28:49Speaker 11: the equity of the house they almost had paid off.
- 1:28:52Speaker 11: I'm watching myself as a veteran. They closed down the
- 1:28:54Speaker 11: veteran hospital over there in Lincoln City, Oregon, on the
- 1:28:59Speaker 11: beautiful coast there because they want to they want to
- 1:29:02Speaker 11: in thisify. I am tired. It takes me three months
- 1:29:05Speaker 11: I get a pair of feedic shoes to have foot
- 1:29:08Speaker 11: surgery when I was in navy forty years or thirty
- 1:29:10Speaker 11: nine years ago. Instead of taking less than a month,
- 1:29:13Speaker 11: it takes almost It's taken me until September twenty first.
- 1:29:15Speaker 11: I'm not ardered them in June. Does that make any sense?
- 1:29:18Speaker 11: Does it make any sense to go with the Canadian
- 1:29:21Speaker 11: healthcare plan on? I'm watching Canadians in the fall going
- 1:29:23Speaker 11: in on as far as courts ont Arizona or Texas
- 1:29:26Speaker 11: or Mexico to get their healthcare. Because if it's so good,
- 1:29:29Speaker 11: the communistic healthcare, why is it pushing us poor. Why
- 1:29:34Speaker 11: they having a twenty five percent increase if you're a
- 1:29:36Speaker 11: single pair twenty one percent increase. If you excuse me,
- 1:29:40Speaker 11: I got the reverse, twenty five percent increase of your
- 1:29:42Speaker 11: single pair twenty five percent increase on your fees if
- 1:29:45Speaker 11: you're attached to any healthcare plan. A lot of healthcare
- 1:29:48Speaker 11: plans are moving out of state. They try to put
- 1:29:50Speaker 11: everything single pair. This is the road to save them,
- 1:29:53Speaker 11: ladies and gentlemen. I'm living it. I'm not running, but
- 1:29:56Speaker 11: I wish Senator Joe Grigs would have reasonable meeting with
- 1:30:00Speaker 11: US people as part of the Republican Party instead of
- 1:30:03Speaker 11: when I'm working pulled up damn bu rouse by the
- 1:30:05Speaker 11: time to help my veterans and disable folks out and
- 1:30:09Speaker 11: everything else. Well, my brother Todd, we need prayer, We
- 1:30:13Speaker 11: need to be proactive. I'm tired of just going along
- 1:30:16Speaker 11: and get along and then using excuse with a minority
- 1:30:18Speaker 11: where is not the founding father was a minority, Peter
- 1:30:21Speaker 11: James and John was a minority when he was doing Jesus' work.
- 1:30:24Speaker 11: Was Thomas Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Alison Hammler was
- 1:30:29Speaker 11: in the minority when they gave us this conscious represent
- 1:30:31Speaker 11: of Republic. That's the question.
- 1:30:34Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's a look, it's a fair question, you
- 1:30:38Speaker 2: asked Ron, and uh again. I was doing an interview
- 1:30:42Speaker 2: earlier this morning with some immigration folks, and Ron, thank
- 1:30:46Speaker 2: you for the call. I was doing some uh doing
- 1:30:50Speaker 2: an interview with these immigration folks, and I said, one
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: of my chief arguments is that we are not doing
- 1:30:56Speaker 2: enough to take care of our veterans because and the
- 1:31:00Speaker 2: argument is, well, we just don't have enough money. Well,
- 1:31:02Speaker 2: if we don't have enough money, then what are we
- 1:31:04Speaker 2: doing taking care of the needs of all of these
- 1:31:06Speaker 2: illegals who breached our borders and are siphoning money off
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: of the American taxpayers. So I would much rather that
- 1:31:14Speaker 2: money be be spent taking care of our veterans. I mean,
- 1:31:20Speaker 2: it really is it really is that simple for me.
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 1:31:26Speaker 2: By the way, speaking of Oregon, a Salem, Oregon, Barnes
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: and Ople in Willhelmette Town Center they're now reporting they
- 1:31:34Speaker 2: have copies of the Golden Age. Also, you folks in
- 1:31:40Speaker 2: Hillsborough they've got the book and as well as in Eugene,
- 1:31:45Speaker 2: so that would be a Eugene, Oregon. So there you go,
- 1:31:50Speaker 2: all right, this story is weird. There's a baker who
- 1:31:55Speaker 2: is under fire because he was attacked by a social
- 1:32:01Speaker 2: media influencer. We're gonna play this audio. Well, I wish
- 1:32:04Speaker 2: we had time. We're not gonna have time to play it.
- 1:32:06Speaker 2: Knock on it. We're gonna get We'll try to get
- 1:32:08Speaker 2: to it today and if not today, we'll definitely do
- 1:32:11Speaker 2: it tomorrow. But apparently Dylan, these social media influencers, they
- 1:32:15Speaker 2: go up to these businesses and they say, hey, if
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: you give me free food or free merchandise, I'll post
- 1:32:23Speaker 2: something nice about you on my social media page. What
- 1:32:27Speaker 2: is that all about?
- 1:32:28Speaker 8: I kind of get it. If it's like a bigger page.
- 1:32:31Speaker 8: You know, they're like promoting them, so they're getting them business.
- 1:32:33Speaker 8: So it's kind of like a fair trade off in
- 1:32:35Speaker 8: some people's eyes.
- 1:32:36Speaker 2: I think we always pay for everything. I think so, no,
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: we really do. And because I don't want to be like,
- 1:32:42Speaker 2: you know, well, well you know what we didn't the
- 1:32:44Speaker 2: stuckies the pecan log rolls, Oh yeah from stuckies.
- 1:32:48Speaker 8: Forgot about that one.
- 1:32:49Speaker 2: Yeah. And if Cracker Barrel sent us over something, I
- 1:32:52Speaker 2: wouldn't object to that, No, not at all. Wait a second,
- 1:32:55Speaker 2: then there was the william Sausage Company truck that drove
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: by and dropped off a couple of cases. Whoops.
- 1:33:00Speaker 8: So we do promote them, but we do.
- 1:33:02Speaker 2: Promote them, yes exactly, but it's not like we threaten people. No, right, no,
- 1:33:07Speaker 2: you will either do this or els.
- 1:33:09Speaker 8: You know, who would we be if we did that?
- 1:33:12Speaker 2: What the heck?
- 1:33:13Speaker 8: Yeah, social media.
- 1:33:14Speaker 2: Starts well exactly, there's no way I could do that,
- 1:33:18Speaker 2: No way at all. But apparently this is a big
- 1:33:20Speaker 2: deal and they're trying to put some of these businesses
- 1:33:23Speaker 2: out of business, which is just obscene. In my estimation.
- 1:33:27Speaker 2: I felt bad for this guy, just a mom and
- 1:33:29Speaker 2: pop bakery and they're trying to do you know what,
- 1:33:32Speaker 2: They're just trying to pay their bills like everybody else.
- 1:33:35Speaker 2: So I really don't know. I don't know. This is
- 1:33:37Speaker 2: a weird thing. They call them what the social media
- 1:33:39Speaker 2: influencers is what they call them. So all right, anyway,
- 1:33:43Speaker 2: all right, nine oh one two six zero five nine
- 1:33:45Speaker 2: two six are telephone number coming up. Our good friend,
- 1:33:48Speaker 2: doctor Robert Jeffers is going to join us. We're going
- 1:33:51Speaker 2: to be at First Baptist Church in Dallas on Sunday
- 1:33:54Speaker 2: and actually have a lovely chapter in the book about
- 1:33:58Speaker 2: First Baptist Church and the day they came under attack
- 1:34:03Speaker 2: because of their religious beliefs. Those of you who have
- 1:34:06Speaker 2: a copy of The Golden Age's pages two hundred and
- 1:34:09Speaker 2: two through two oh four, you're going to want to
- 1:34:12Speaker 2: read that. And we've got to take a quick break
- 1:34:14Speaker 2: here again. Nine oh one, two six zero five, nine
- 1:34:18Speaker 2: two six. This is the Todd Sterns Show. All right, Sunday, Sunday,
- 1:34:39Speaker 2: It's going to be a wonderful, wonderful day of worship
- 1:34:43Speaker 2: at the First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas. I will
- 1:34:46Speaker 2: be there and we'll be signing copies of The Golden Age.
- 1:34:50Speaker 2: How Trump Saved America. One of the people who endorsed
- 1:34:54Speaker 2: the book is our good friend, doctor Robert Jeffers. Here's
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: what he wrote. A friend to people of faith and
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: a defender of religious liberty. This book is a must
- 1:35:02Speaker 2: read for those who cherish freedom. Doctor Robert Jeffers joins
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: us on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line today, doctor Jeffers.
- 1:35:10Speaker 2: Good to see you.
- 1:35:12Speaker 20: Good to see you, Todd, and we are looking forward
- 1:35:15Speaker 20: to this Sunday. People are always excited when you're able
- 1:35:18Speaker 20: to stop by. And by the way, congratulations on the
- 1:35:21Speaker 20: success of the Golden Age. It's doing great.
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: I know it's doing really well. By the way, you
- 1:35:27Speaker 2: are on pages two hundred and one through two hundred
- 1:35:31Speaker 2: and four. So you got some good real estate in
- 1:35:33Speaker 2: the book, doctor Jeffers.
- 1:35:34Speaker 20: Oh great, I can't wait to read it.
- 1:35:36Speaker 2: Well, one of the things, and we had you on
- 1:35:40Speaker 2: this show to talk about the you know, the attacks
- 1:35:42Speaker 2: on religious liberty, and a lot of people think, well,
- 1:35:45Speaker 2: you know, President Trump, they're saying his agenda has not
- 1:35:48Speaker 2: been as successful in the second term. And the whole
- 1:35:51Speaker 2: point of the book was to say, actually, that's not true.
- 1:35:54Speaker 2: And one of the areas that the president has been
- 1:35:56Speaker 2: incredibly strong on is religious liberty and defending Christians in
- 1:36:01Speaker 2: this country. And of course you guys came under attack
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: by the Internal Revenue Service during the last administration.
- 1:36:08Speaker 20: Well that's exactly right, and you tell the story, but
- 1:36:13Speaker 20: it was just an amazing story. Back in twenty twenty,
- 1:36:16Speaker 20: during Trump's first term, we have an annual patriotic service
- 1:36:20Speaker 20: and the President sent his then vice president, Mike Pence
- 1:36:27Speaker 20: and Ben Carson, one of his cabinet members, to our
- 1:36:29Speaker 20: Freedom celebration. You've spoken there before. They were going to
- 1:36:34Speaker 20: talk to our congregation about their faith in Jesus Christ.
- 1:36:38Speaker 20: Neither man said anything about the upcoming election. They didn't
- 1:36:42Speaker 20: even announce they were candidates. They talked about the experience
- 1:36:45Speaker 20: that they came that led them to faith in Jesus Christ,
- 1:36:48Speaker 20: and immediately the Freedom from Religion Organization filed a complaint
- 1:36:52Speaker 20: with the IRS. Interestingly, Todd, we didn't hear anything from
- 1:36:56Speaker 20: the IRS until eleven months later, long after Trump was
- 1:37:00Speaker 20: out of oft in the office and Joe Biden was
- 1:37:03Speaker 20: in office. It was at that point that they came
- 1:37:06Speaker 20: after us, and we spent several years and hundreds of
- 1:37:09Speaker 20: thousands of dollars defending ourselves, comparing what we did, which
- 1:37:13Speaker 20: was completely legal, to what other churches did on the
- 1:37:16Speaker 20: Democrat side when they openly endorsed candidates, And finally, after
- 1:37:22Speaker 20: we said we would take it to the Supreme Court,
- 1:37:24Speaker 20: the IRS suddenly did it reversal and drop the case.
- 1:37:28Speaker 2: One of the things that I just really appreciate about
- 1:37:31Speaker 2: our president is that he would would seek counsel from
- 1:37:35Speaker 2: people like yourself and people like Jack Graham, fellow Southern
- 1:37:40Speaker 2: Baptist and fellow believers in Christ. And for me as
- 1:37:45Speaker 2: as a lay persons as you know, the view from
- 1:37:48Speaker 2: the pew. That really meant a lot to me that
- 1:37:50Speaker 2: the president, the leader of the free world, would be
- 1:37:53Speaker 2: seeking counsel from you guys on spiritual issues.
- 1:37:57Speaker 20: Well, he's he has a very open door policy into
- 1:38:00Speaker 20: the Oval Office, and I think one reason he is
- 1:38:04Speaker 20: so successful is he invites all kinds of points of view.
- 1:38:07Speaker 20: I'm just a small fraction of that, but he does
- 1:38:12Speaker 20: welcome people of faith. He believes America is better off
- 1:38:16Speaker 20: when our churches are open and thriving and doing well.
- 1:38:20Speaker 20: And he's not hesitant to ask for prayer, and we've
- 1:38:23Speaker 20: had the opportunity to pray with him a number of
- 1:38:25Speaker 20: times in the Oval Office.
- 1:38:27Speaker 2: This is the only book in the history of Christendom
- 1:38:31Speaker 2: that actually has the words Donald Trump and George Beverly
- 1:38:34Speaker 2: Shay in the same paragraph, Doctor Jeffers. But the whole
- 1:38:40Speaker 2: point of my book is that the Golden Age is
- 1:38:42Speaker 2: really not about acquiring things. It's not about affordability or
- 1:38:47Speaker 2: lower gas prices, and it's really not a destination as
- 1:38:51Speaker 2: much as it is an aspiration. As George Beverly Shay
- 1:38:56Speaker 2: used to sing on the Billy Graham Crusades, I'd rather
- 1:38:58Speaker 2: have Jesus than silver or gold. And I wonder, you
- 1:39:03Speaker 2: know if part of the success of this administration has
- 1:39:06Speaker 2: been this refocusing on the faith of our founding fathers
- 1:39:10Speaker 2: and the traditions and the values of our founding fathers.
- 1:39:15Speaker 2: I'm wondering what you think about that.
- 1:39:18Speaker 7: Well.
- 1:39:18Speaker 20: I think the President has been very clear that America
- 1:39:22Speaker 20: was founded on the principles of the Judeo Christian faith.
- 1:39:25Speaker 20: And while our nation welcomes people of all faiths or
- 1:39:29Speaker 20: no faith for that matter, our nation still has a
- 1:39:32Speaker 20: solid foundation on the Judeo Christian faith. And you know
- 1:39:37Speaker 20: when he used to say when he was running for
- 1:39:39Speaker 20: the first term, you know, we need to get back
- 1:39:42Speaker 20: to saying Mary Christmas. You know, people laughed and so forth,
- 1:39:45Speaker 20: but we understood what he was saying. That was code
- 1:39:48Speaker 20: for we need to get back to our Judeo Christian foundation.
- 1:39:51Speaker 20: And I think he will be remembered as the president
- 1:39:54Speaker 20: who probably helped our nation make the most critical u
- 1:39:57Speaker 20: turn in that way that we needed to make back
- 1:39:59Speaker 20: to the eight of our fathers.
- 1:40:01Speaker 2: Doctor Jefferson, and we're honored to have doctor Jefferson with us.
- 1:40:04Speaker 2: The senior pastor at the first Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas.
- 1:40:09Speaker 2: There in the lone Star state, there is a raging,
- 1:40:12Speaker 2: raging debate about the rise of political Islam. There was
- 1:40:16Speaker 2: a big controversy a few days ago over the foot
- 1:40:19Speaker 2: washing stations that were being installed for Muslims. My thing is,
- 1:40:23Speaker 2: if you're not going to have foot washing stations for
- 1:40:25Speaker 2: the foot washing Baptist, you can't do them for any
- 1:40:28Speaker 2: other religion.
- 1:40:29Speaker 20: And I think that's the point. You know, Christians have
- 1:40:32Speaker 20: not asked for special treatment in any way. We want
- 1:40:37Speaker 20: the same privilege that everyone has, and there ought to
- 1:40:41Speaker 20: be a free exercise of faith. That's what the First
- 1:40:43Speaker 20: Amendment is all about. But that doesn't include foot washing
- 1:40:47Speaker 20: stations at the DFW airport. Now I'm going to say
- 1:40:50Speaker 20: something todd you may disagree with, but I think we
- 1:40:53Speaker 20: have to be very careful about prohibiting or seeking to
- 1:40:57Speaker 20: prohibit people from building their own houses of worship, no
- 1:41:02Speaker 20: matter how oft beat we are they are. Look, Islam
- 1:41:05Speaker 20: is a false religion. You can't say Islam is just
- 1:41:09Speaker 20: another path to God. It's not a path to God.
- 1:41:12Speaker 20: Jesus said, I am the way the truth in the life.
- 1:41:15Speaker 20: No man comes to the Father but by me. Islam
- 1:41:18Speaker 20: is a nation founded by a false prophet, Mohammad, who
- 1:41:22Speaker 20: wrote a false book, the Quran, that's based on a
- 1:41:25Speaker 20: false doctrine that there is another way to God. But
- 1:41:28Speaker 20: having said all of that, tolerance means giving people the
- 1:41:32Speaker 20: right to be wrong, and we need to give people
- 1:41:35Speaker 20: the right to make their own choice and experience the
- 1:41:38Speaker 20: consequences of that choice.
- 1:41:40Speaker 2: I think the concern a lot of Americans have is
- 1:41:43Speaker 2: they see what's happening in places like Germany and Belgium
- 1:41:46Speaker 2: and France and the UK where they're suffering those consequences.
- 1:41:50Speaker 2: Now they have literally been overrun. And by the way,
- 1:41:54Speaker 2: that was an exact quote that Congressman Keith self just
- 1:41:57Speaker 2: used in the earlier segment, saying that North Taxos was
- 1:42:00Speaker 2: being overrun by mosques. Where do you find that balance,
- 1:42:05Speaker 2: because I get freedom of religion, but you don't want
- 1:42:09Speaker 2: folks blowing you up either.
- 1:42:12Speaker 20: Well, no, and that's not part of the free exercise
- 1:42:15Speaker 20: of faith. And look, what I just think we have
- 1:42:18Speaker 20: to be careful about Todd is there's going to be
- 1:42:21Speaker 20: a backlash by liberals. They are going to be back
- 1:42:25Speaker 20: in office at some point. We can try to push
- 1:42:27Speaker 20: that off as much as we can, but it's going
- 1:42:29Speaker 20: to come back, and they're going to come back with
- 1:42:32Speaker 20: a vengeance against conservative Christians, I believe. And we just
- 1:42:35Speaker 20: need to be sure that we're maintaining this freedom of
- 1:42:39Speaker 20: faith for all people and not let it have a
- 1:42:42Speaker 20: boomerang effect against Christians when that day comes. The most
- 1:42:47Speaker 20: potent power against Islam is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
- 1:42:52Speaker 20: It's not laws, it's the Gospel of Christ. Now Muslims
- 1:42:57Speaker 20: have to obey the law. They can't have their own
- 1:42:59Speaker 20: sharial all code that violates the law of the land
- 1:43:03Speaker 20: of the United States of America. But the quickest way
- 1:43:06Speaker 20: to extinguish the power of Islam is to share the
- 1:43:10Speaker 20: power of the Cross of Jesus Christ.
- 1:43:12Speaker 2: What is what is going on there in Texas with
- 1:43:16Speaker 2: the whole the US Senate race Tallarico, James tall Rico. Uh,
- 1:43:20Speaker 2: the guy says what God is non binary, Jesus supports
- 1:43:23Speaker 2: abortion and some there's some polling data out there that
- 1:43:26Speaker 2: says he's actually leading, He's slightly ahead of Ken Paxton.
- 1:43:31Speaker 2: I I don't know what to believe on the polling data.
- 1:43:35Speaker 2: I just find it hard to believe than anybody in Texas,
- 1:43:37Speaker 2: even the most even the most godless heaven atheist would
- 1:43:41Speaker 2: agree that God was non binary.
- 1:43:44Speaker 20: Well, look when you come to Dallas, if you have
- 1:43:47Speaker 20: a chance, go to the most affluent uh neighborhoods in
- 1:43:50Speaker 20: Dallas and you'll see tallar Ico signs up everywhere. Really
- 1:43:55Speaker 20: uh yes, And so he is a real threat. Now
- 1:43:59Speaker 20: I don't think he's going to win because as soon
- 1:44:02Speaker 20: as he opens his mouth and starts talking, people seeing
- 1:44:05Speaker 20: for what he is he's posing as an evangelical Christian.
- 1:44:08Speaker 20: He went to a Presbyterian seminary. His most influential person
- 1:44:13Speaker 20: in his life other than his grandfather, was his pastor
- 1:44:17Speaker 20: in Austin, who said, I have trouble using the word God.
- 1:44:22Speaker 20: Now that gives you a view where this guy is.
- 1:44:25Speaker 20: He says there's a spectrum of genders, even though Jesus
- 1:44:28Speaker 20: said they're only two genders. God made the male and female.
- 1:44:32Speaker 20: He supports transgenderism in every way. He says that there
- 1:44:38Speaker 20: is more than one way to heaven. Christianity is just
- 1:44:40Speaker 20: one path to heaven. He denies the very basics of
- 1:44:44Speaker 20: evangelical Christianity. But because he has a pleasant voice and
- 1:44:49Speaker 20: a pleasant demeanor, some people are being tricked by or
- 1:44:52Speaker 20: led astray buying. But I don't think most people are
- 1:44:54Speaker 20: going to fall for.
- 1:44:55Speaker 2: And you know it's not just their doctor Jeffers, the
- 1:44:58Speaker 2: guy that got the nomination for the US and Kansas
- 1:45:01Speaker 2: he pastors. What a megachurch I believe is a Methodist
- 1:45:04Speaker 2: by the name of Adam Hamilton, and he espouses that
- 1:45:08Speaker 2: same theology that there are many ways to heaven. Jesus
- 1:45:12Speaker 2: is not the exclusive way to heaven. What's going on
- 1:45:15Speaker 2: here with this sort of woke theology that's out there, Well.
- 1:45:18Speaker 20: It's been around for a while. About ten years ago,
- 1:45:22Speaker 20: there was a poll that said even among evangelical Christians,
- 1:45:25Speaker 20: sixty percent believe there's more than one way to heaven. Look,
- 1:45:28Speaker 20: if there's another way to heaven except for faith in
- 1:45:31Speaker 20: Jesus Christ, then Jesus wasted his time by dying on
- 1:45:34Speaker 20: the cross for our sins. The reason the Son of
- 1:45:37Speaker 20: God was willing to do such a thing is because
- 1:45:40Speaker 20: there was no other way to God. And you cannot
- 1:45:44Speaker 20: dispute the foundational basis of the Gospel and still call
- 1:45:48Speaker 20: yourself a Christian. But it is everywhere. And look, Todd,
- 1:45:52Speaker 20: I mean, if people want to vote for a woke candidate,
- 1:45:55Speaker 20: find they were free to do that. But what I'm
- 1:45:57Speaker 20: speaking out against is allowing woke evangelicals like James Tallerco
- 1:46:03Speaker 20: to prostitute the name of Jesus Christ to turn the
- 1:46:07Speaker 20: Jesus of the Bible into some woke messiah that is
- 1:46:12Speaker 20: contrary to what the Bible teaches. The Jesus Christ that
- 1:46:17Speaker 20: James Tallerco says he follows is not the Jesus of
- 1:46:20Speaker 20: the Bible. It's the Jesus of his own woke imagination,
- 1:46:25Speaker 20: and that is called blasphemy.
- 1:46:27Speaker 2: Well, all right, doctor Jeffers, We're gonna have to leave
- 1:46:30Speaker 2: it there and always appreciate your wise words here as
- 1:46:35Speaker 2: we maneuver through these very odd, just unusual political times.
- 1:46:38Speaker 2: I guess it's always going to be odd and unusual,
- 1:46:40Speaker 2: but these days even more so, I think, doctor Jeffers,
- 1:46:46Speaker 2: thank you again, and thank you for what for Sunday.
- 1:46:50Speaker 2: We're so excited. Always love hearing you preach in person.
- 1:46:53Speaker 2: I see you on TV all the time or on
- 1:46:55Speaker 2: the radio, but love hearing you in person.
- 1:46:59Speaker 20: Well, we can't wait to welcome you and sign thousands
- 1:47:02Speaker 20: of copies of the Golden Age.
- 1:47:04Speaker 2: I've got my sharpie ready, all right, doctor Jeffers, Thank you,
- 1:47:09Speaker 2: Doctor Robert Jeffers, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas,
- 1:47:14Speaker 2: a man of great wisdom when it comes to matters
- 1:47:17Speaker 2: of faith. All right, here's the deal. We're going to
- 1:47:21Speaker 2: take a quick break. We're going right to the phones.
- 1:47:23Speaker 2: We've got Larry and o'calla Florida. Nine oh one two
- 1:47:26Speaker 2: six zero five, nine two six. This is the Todd
- 1:47:29Speaker 2: starn Show. All right, let's go right to the phones.
- 1:47:39Speaker 2: O'calla Florida. Larry, WOCA are great affiliate there, Hi, Larry,
- 1:47:44Speaker 2: what's on your mind today? Hello, Larry? I don't think
- 1:47:52Speaker 2: Larry's with us, all right, Sorry about that, Larry. We'll
- 1:47:56Speaker 2: try to hit you back. We'll try to hit you
- 1:47:58Speaker 2: back next time. Nine oh one two six zero five
- 1:48:02Speaker 2: nine two six. By the way, while all this has
- 1:48:04Speaker 2: been going on, we've been and we've been having a
- 1:48:06Speaker 2: great discussion with doctor Jeffers. Uh. The President has been
- 1:48:10Speaker 2: taking a tour of the brand new, beautiful White House
- 1:48:15Speaker 2: helipad and this thing is really really sharp and remarkable.
- 1:48:21Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, we have some photos and
- 1:48:24Speaker 2: videos of the President giving a tour you know in
- 1:48:27Speaker 2: the past. You know, they just dropped the marine one
- 1:48:30Speaker 2: right there on the grass and then the President the
- 1:48:33Speaker 2: first lady. They got to slog through the grass and
- 1:48:36Speaker 2: until they get to the White House. Well, this beautiful
- 1:48:39Speaker 2: new helipad is being created because the new Marine one
- 1:48:43Speaker 2: helicopters are so much larger, they say the intense exhaust
- 1:48:47Speaker 2: from the choppers would damage the lawn. So and all
- 1:48:52Speaker 2: of this is happening on the south lawn. So the
- 1:48:54Speaker 2: President had had asked them to construct this beautiful facility,
- 1:48:58Speaker 2: which by the way, is all being paid for by
- 1:49:02Speaker 2: the helicopter manufacturer. And the centerpiece of the pad is
- 1:49:06Speaker 2: a massive presidential seal. You've got to go to the
- 1:49:09Speaker 2: website Todd Stens dot com and check out these images
- 1:49:13Speaker 2: and the video just absolutely really breathtaking and beautiful what
- 1:49:19Speaker 2: the President's doing there. And again the work of this
- 1:49:23Speaker 2: president to really make DC beautiful again and to really
- 1:49:30Speaker 2: bring some class to the White House is just something else.
- 1:49:34Speaker 2: And so we really appreciate the great work that President
- 1:49:39Speaker 2: Trump is doing. Again. By the way, a couple of
- 1:49:42Speaker 2: stories I want to bring to your attention over on
- 1:49:44Speaker 2: the website Todd Sterns dot com. We've got the interview
- 1:49:46Speaker 2: we did yesterday with Kristin Hawkins from Students for Life
- 1:49:50Speaker 2: along with the video of the conversation. The Students for
- 1:49:54Speaker 2: Life kicked out of a coffeehouse in Briggs, Idaho. The
- 1:49:59Speaker 2: kids were I had ordered their coffees, they were sitting
- 1:50:02Speaker 2: around talking about pro life issues. The owner came out
- 1:50:05Speaker 2: and told them to get out because they were like
- 1:50:09Speaker 2: the KKK. And then the owner starts yelling at the
- 1:50:13Speaker 2: kids and calling them a bunch of racist. It's just
- 1:50:16Speaker 2: really really despicable stuff. So anyway, go and check out
- 1:50:21Speaker 2: that story. Read that story as well as this coffee
- 1:50:25Speaker 2: house out of Denver. It's called the Drip Cafe, and
- 1:50:29Speaker 2: we're trying to get this guy on. He is the owner.
- 1:50:32Speaker 2: His name is Jeanie Sanchez, and he and his wife
- 1:50:35Speaker 2: own the coffee house and they run a homeless ministry
- 1:50:39Speaker 2: called Recycle God's Love, and so the whole point of
- 1:50:41Speaker 2: the cafe is to provide jobs and mentoring to people
- 1:50:46Speaker 2: that are coming out of homelessness and addictions. So it's
- 1:50:50Speaker 2: all great stuff. It's a ministry, but the Denver Communist
- 1:50:55Speaker 2: and local gay activists are infuriated because the husband and
- 1:51:00Speaker 2: wife believe marriages between one man and one woman, and
- 1:51:03Speaker 2: so now the Communists are their goal, they say is
- 1:51:07Speaker 2: to drive the Christian business owners out of the neighborhood.
- 1:51:10Speaker 2: And the cafe has suffered broken windows, vandalism, they have
- 1:51:15Speaker 2: had all sorts of horrible things done to their customers,
- 1:51:18Speaker 2: including they had a blind Christian DJ. I don't know
- 1:51:22Speaker 2: how you do that, but anyway, blind Christian DJ and
- 1:51:26Speaker 2: they screamed at the poor guy. Unbelievable. So I would
- 1:51:32Speaker 2: encourage you to go. And we've got links to the
- 1:51:34Speaker 2: coffee shop, the drip cafe. They're in Denvers, aren't district,
- 1:51:38Speaker 2: and you might want to drop them a word of
- 1:51:41Speaker 2: encouragement and let them know that you know they're not
- 1:51:43Speaker 2: They're not alone out there. Also, we've got the video
- 1:51:46Speaker 2: of Charlie Kirk. The these drag queens in San Francisco
- 1:51:52Speaker 2: soon to be in West Hollywood, and they're mocking the
- 1:51:56Speaker 2: assassination of Charlie Kirk. You just need to be aware
- 1:51:59Speaker 2: of what's out there, the level of vitriol. And as
- 1:52:04Speaker 2: I said earlier, we are dealing with a demonic infestation
- 1:52:07Speaker 2: in the United States of America. There's no doubt in
- 1:52:10Speaker 2: my mind that that is what is happening. But the
- 1:52:12Speaker 2: good news here is that our God is much more
- 1:52:15Speaker 2: powerful than a bunch of demons wearing high heels and
- 1:52:20Speaker 2: feather boas, and praise the Lord for that. So anyway,
- 1:52:25Speaker 2: but again, go and check all that out, and of
- 1:52:27Speaker 2: course check out the video we just posted of the
- 1:52:29Speaker 2: beautiful new White House helipad that has been constructed there
- 1:52:34Speaker 2: at the White House. It's been a lot of fun today, folks.
- 1:52:36Speaker 2: We're going to do it all over again tomorrow. We're
- 1:52:39Speaker 2: looking to have Congressman Ralph Norman joining us. Also, we'll
- 1:52:43Speaker 2: be following the latest political news and developments. Don't forget
- 1:52:47Speaker 2: get a copy of The Golden Age How Trump Saved
- 1:52:50Speaker 2: America in bookstores all over America but selling icodcakes. All right, everybody,
- 1:52:56Speaker 2: get out there. You'd be good. America a
