  Speaker 2: Chris Delsato filling in today, Like, I Uh, Todd and
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I hadn't spoken in about three or four weeks, and
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I had no idea what was going on until I
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: got the call last night and was told, hey, man,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: can you fill in? And then today I still I
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: just thought maybe he was taking some time off. You know,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: we're coming up on the summer months. Maybe he's got
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: a grad in his family.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I had no idea, so I said, sure, I'll come on.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: And then today the crew told me that Todd wanted
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: me to update you all on what was going on
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: with him. And I'm like, well, what's going on with him?
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Is there's something I should know? And he was posting
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: this on Facebook. And for those of you who have
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: known me for a long time, I don't do Facebook.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: My issues with what's his name Zuckerberg are deep and
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: abiding folks, so I don't Facebook anymore. So I said, guys,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: send me what he put out, and so I'm just
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: going to tell you what he wrote to all of
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: you in case you're not on Facebook or in case
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: you haven't seen it. And it was news to me.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: So first off, I want, I want my prayers and
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: your prayers to go out of Todd and his family.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: And the good news is there's a lot of good
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: news here. But this is pretty scary. This is scary stuff,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: dear friends, he writes, I thought this was the best
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: way to update you on the events of the past
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: few days. Last weekend while I was exercising. This was
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: posted two days ago, by the way, folks, last weekend,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: while I was exercising at Shelby Farms, I noticed I
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: was having difficulty breathing. I had to stop every fifty
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: feet to catch my breath. On Monday, it was even
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: difficult to get out complete sentences during the radio show,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: and that evening my blood pressure spiked to two hundred
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: over one oh seven. My cardiologist sent me directly to
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Baptist East and they have done an incredible job diagnosing
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the problem. Many of you know that in twenty six
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: years ago, I had open heart surgery to install a
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: mechanical aortic valve, and in two thousand and seven I
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: had a stroke. It's been a bit of a difficult journey.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: The team at Baptist East discovered I had a widow
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: maker nearly ninety percent blockage in one of my arteries.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Let me just stop there for a second, folks. Ninety
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: percent occlusion on an artery, Folks, is any artery, but
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: one of the main arteries in your heart. That's just
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: that's just bad nosess news. They don't call it a
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: widow maker for nothing. They were able to fix what
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: could have been a disastrous problem. I simply can't say
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: enough great things about the staff at Baptist East. They
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: have gone out of their way to make me feel
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: comfortable and provide daily encouragement. My church family has been
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: so kind, as well as the team at KWAM and
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: of course the Real Housewives of Germantown. Dieter, you made
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: me laugh and I greatly appreciate that. Dalton a good man,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: just a good good man. I hope to be back
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: home and eventually back on the radio and TV, but
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: for now I'm going to enjoy some bed rest. One
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: final note, if the nurse ever comes into your room
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: with a razor and a grin and she tells you
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: it's a spa day. Don't believe her. I'm gonna need
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: a therapist and a six pack of doctor Pepper to
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: overcome body shaving and then after that, folks, Todd, this
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: is thirteen hours ago providing this update. Glad to be
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: back home. Can't thank my cardiologist, the team at CERN,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and the phenomenal cardiac team at Baptist East for getting
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: me back on my feet. We are truly blessed with
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: some of the finest medical personnel in the nation right
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: here in the mid South. My cardiologists calmed me tonight
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: and reiterated, how fortunate I am a ninety percent blockage
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: of the main artery, and I must tell you that
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I'm taking some time to get my head wrapped around
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the events of the past five days. Folks, let me
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: to stop there really quickly. Yeah, I imagined. I was
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: talking with some of the team here at the Todd
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Starnshow saying, you know, when when you have a ninety
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: percent blockage, you're going to be told by a lot
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: of individuals who are in the medical professional profession, Hey man,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: you're really lucky. You're really lucky. That was all bad
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: news and you got in under the wire, and they're
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: very good about telling you that kind of stuff. Back
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: to the note, I am just so blessed to be
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: surrounded by my precious family and my sweet friends. My
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: church family went above and beyond, and my family at
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: KWAM and the National radio show have just taken charge
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: with Dylan at the Helm. I had my first outing
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: earlier today to drive to Kroger to get some baby aspirin.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I feel like I ran a marathon. It's going to
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: take a little bit of time for me to get
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: back on my feet, but I will be well on
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: my way. In the meantime, few guest hosts will be
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: taking over. Also, as a journalist, I always believe in
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: correcting errors at the source, and I do want to
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: apologize for telling you that gravy was actually healthy for you.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Turns out sausage gravy is not a lubricant for your arteries.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: After all my apologies, I long for the day when
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I can relax in the sun and drink a doctor pepper.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: So that's the update from Todd folks. Those of you
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: who are missing him, as I'm sure you are, and
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: his upbeat and sunny outlook. He's in good hands, he's
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: in good spirits, as he always is. But I think,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: in his words, I think we can all take a
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: little bit of a little bit of a moment here
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: to count what's really important. I had one of these episodes.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: It turned out to be really really bad reaction to allergies, folks,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: And I thought, and I was struggling just as as
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: mightily as Todd was to breathe. It turns out it
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: was allergies and nothing that was going on with the heart.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: But it was still a scare, nonetheless, And for me,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: I was in the hospital bed. My wife was with me.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: But I didn't want to worry the kids. I didn't.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to tell them and unless there was
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: something to worry about, right, And of course I got
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: to start talking too from the kids afterward. You know,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: when that kind of stuff happens, we do want to know, YadA, YadA, YadA.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: So it's probably reminded everybody out there takes some time
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: to remember what's important. Uh, be mindful of your health, kids,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Be mindful. It's you get you got one body got
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: one body. Be diligent and uh, you know, keep track
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: of what's going on with you. And it doesn't mean
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: you're weak, It means you're you're just that you're diligent. Okay. So, uh,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: God's blessings to all of you, God's blessings to Todd
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: and praise God. He's back on the radio soon, and
• 7:52

• 8:22
  Speaker 2: weigh in. So, look, I've and so, since I'm starting
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: off the program that I'm telling stories, let me tell
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: you a story about what's going on in my home
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: state of Texas. And many of you might be going, hmm,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: this sounds an awful lot like what's going on on
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: the national level. This, this sounds an awful lot like
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: what's going on with Senate Republicans. Right there's let me
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: give you some background on Texas. Texas. We have a
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: united United Front in the Texas Senate mostly Conservatives every
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: single time as a legislative session, and then we get
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: one every other year. We have a part time government,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: which by the way, is merciful. Part time government is good, folks.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I would highly recommend it for every state in the Union,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: because it is one year they take off where they're
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: not doing damage to we the people, and they have
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: to and these people who are part time legislators, they
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: have to live in the world they create for the
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: rest of us, by and large, So in Texas it's
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: the we are. Problem in Texas is the Texas House.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: And I'll give you an example. Back in the nineteen nineties,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: there was something that I have dubbed the Joe Strauss
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Gang of eleven coup. And here's what happened. The Democrats
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: had been running the show in Texas. For those of
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: you who know your history, Texas was a Democrats stayed
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: at one time. Of the last thirty years, it has
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: not been. But that's a temporary condition, folks. If the
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Republican Party continues to behave as it has been behaving,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: and I think that's by design. When the Republicans took
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: over the governorship of Texas. Many of these politicians changed
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: parties but didn't change ideology. And one such guy was
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: this guy the name of Joe Strauss. There's a couple
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: of other guys like These names aren't going to mean
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: a lot to many of you, But for those of
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: you in Texas, you know Charlie garn, you know Jared Patterson,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: you know Jeff Leach. These are fake Republicans. And I'll
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: tell you why in a minute. But here's how the
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Joe Strauss Gang of eleven coup worked. There was a
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: very narrow margin in the House where the Republicans had
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: the majority, and for the longest time it was Republicans
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: voting Republicans in power. There was one example of when
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: the Democrats ran things, they appointed one Republican chair, one
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Republican chair to be in charge of a committee inside
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: of the Texas House when Democrats ran it, So that
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: became the impetus for when the Republicans took over for
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: turning over ungodly number of committees two Democrats in the
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: interest of bipartisanship. And you all know bipartisanship is just
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: code for we do it all the socialists in the Democrats' way.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: And that's what has been happening here in Texas because
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: you see in this gang of eleven coup. Here's what
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Joe Strauss did. He got together with eleven fake other
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Republicans just enough to give him a leg up, and
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: he went over to the Democrats and he said, I'm
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: going to do a deal with you. All you Democrats
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: support me, and I have these eleven fake Republicans that
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: are going to support me too. That's going to be
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: enough to make me speaker. And then I will blackmail
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: the other Republicans and I will tell them if they don't,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: if they want their bills passed, if they want to
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: be in good standing in the in the hout with
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: the House leadership, they will all vote for me too
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: to keep up the illusion. So, folks, Joe Strauss and
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: those who followed him, a guy the name of Greg
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Bonn and a guy of the name of Dade Feelin,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: they all got unanimous votes. Republicans and Democrats all agreed
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: that the Republican would be the speaker. Isn't that isn't
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: that funny how that works? And it was all rigged.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: It was all scam. Now this last time, this last
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: speakership vote, the Conservatives had made enough headroom in the
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Texas legislature to make a game of it. And in
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: this last psych a guy by the name of Dusty
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: the Democrat Boroughs. He ran as a Republican. He was
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: elected as a Republican, but this time he was forced
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: to do the stabbing of Texas Conservatives in their chest
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: rather than in their back, because, you see, folks, Dusty
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: the Democrat Boroughs took thirty six fake Republicans and went
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: over to forty nine real socialists and marxistm in the
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Democrat Party and they all went on record. Forty nine
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Democrats with thirty six fake Republicans elected the current Texas
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: House Speaker. Now, many of you are going, wait a minute,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, minute, forty nine Democrats and thirty six
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Republicans elected a Republican speaker. Many of you would say, well,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, if a majority of Democrats voted for
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: the speaker, doesn't that make him a Democrat speaker? And yes,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: you would be right, and he has been. Now, folks,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: this has been the indignity that Conservatives and the majority
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: of Texas voters have been forced to endure for the
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: past two years and not to mention John Cornyn, which
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I'll get to in the course of events today, the
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: same fake Republicans who run the United States Senate right now,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: the same caliber of individuals run the Texas House. And
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: to add insult to injury, and this is where the
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: story gets really really interesting, is that over the weekend
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: it was announced that Dusty the Democrat Boroughs fake Republican
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: was going not only going to be speaking at the
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: grassroots Texas Republican Convention, but that he bought He basically
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: bought folks, financed the Texas Convention, brought in a whole
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: bunch of money. And you know what, some some not
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: this liberty loving Latino, but some some of the Republican
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Party are saying all is forgiven, All is forgiven, you know,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: putting Democrats in charge of chairmanships, undermining the Republican voters,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: the vast majority of Republican voters in the state of Texas.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: All is forgiven because you brought a whole bunch of
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: money to the table. Folks. I'll tell you, I'll tell
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: you the machinations of all of this and what it
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: means not only for Texas and Texas follows Folks, so
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: goes the nation, not only what it means and what
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: it informs us on for the national races, the primaries
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: that all of us are going to be voting in.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I will tell you this as I go to break, folks,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: and if you want to weigh in on all this,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: if you're in Texas, please feel free to call nine
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: zero one two six zero fifty nine to twenty six
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: nine zero one two six zero five nine two six
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: What this means for us going forward? Where the real
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: action is, and I'm here to tell you it is
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: the Republican Party primary. Nothing else matters at this point.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: If Americans don't win the Republican primaries. Back in a minute.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Chris Salsato show in for Todd Starns on the Todd
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Starnes Radio show. Folks, welcome back together, Todd Starnes show me.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: You're a liberty loving Latino, Chris Salsado. For those of
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: you who don't know who I am, do not confuse
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: me with loudmouth leftist Latinos out there. I actually love
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: my country, I love my state, the United States of America,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: and I am broadcasting to you live from the great
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: state of Texas. Before I get on to what's going
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: on here in Texas, folks. How the Republican Party here
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: is sorry, not the Republican Party. The Republican politicians are
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: reflective of the cancer that we have in the Republican
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Party on the national level. Let me go to Joe.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: He is from Georgia. W dun Joe, thanks for coming
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: and appreciate you being here on the Star Show.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: Chris, thank you very much. I just want to express
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: prayers for Todd. He's a great guy. I've been on
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: his program many time, and he's truly a great American
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: conservative champion, and we're praying that he gets well and
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: gets back on the air. And I just want to
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: say I've been involved in politics for about fifty years,
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: and I think, Chris, we need the campaign in a
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: positive way and not be negative. Like I'm working for
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Burt Jones to be governor of Georgia, but I'm doing
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: it in a very positive way. I think we just
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: need to say why we're for somebody and not bring
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: up all the negative stuff. Because I've heard so many
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: people say, as I've heard you say, politics are so dirty. Well,
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: I think in some extent they're right. So all we
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: need to do is before candidates with passion and firing enthusiasm,
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: but beat positive and I just want to slay that.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: But mainly I want to say we'll be praying for Todd.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: He's definitely a great, great man. I met him first
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: there and we're all praying for him to have commedia
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: recovery and get back on the air.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: And thank you for Thank you, Joe, thank you for
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: the well wishes, Folks. I'm positive. I'm positive. I don't
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: like Republicans who betray the country and their own party
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: and their voters. I'll expand on that coming up next
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: on the Todd starn Show. You got to Todd Sterns

  Speaker 2: six nine zero one two six zero five nine two six,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: and I did want to expand a little bit on
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: the last call from Joe. We got to be positive. Yeah, No,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: I'm positive. I'm a conservative, and I'm positive I don't
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: like a government of buy and for the government. I'm
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: positive I don't like that. And the the problem with
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: the Democrats is that they are unified Marxists socialists, anti
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: American coops, freaks and nuts right that they are what
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: they are, and you don't need a manual, you don't
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: need much political pressure at all. They are totalitarians at heart,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: and they're unified. Do you know that there are no
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: unifying principles in the Republican Party. These these cats can't
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: even unify to oppose communists. I mean, that's the problem
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: with the Republican Party. And for those of us who say, oh, bygones,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: let's just move on, you know, Oh yeah, you surrendered
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: us to socialists, Marxist and cooks and freaks and nuts,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: and you harm my family, you harm my state, you
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: harm my community. Oh but you know, let's just stay
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: positive and just move on.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: No.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I think that's how we got to where we are
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: right now. Government that is never held accountable for what
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: it does to us. And I think it's time that
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: our memories got longer, not shorter, my friends, I mean,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: and these politicians, they rely on you not remembering the
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: equivalent of not what you have for breakfast yesterday or
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: this morning as far as politics are concerned. Oh, let's
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: just forget about it. I got I've got Michael McCall
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: who is a retiring congressman who's supporting John Cornyn, who
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: is a Republican in name only twenty four years of
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: citing with socialists against our people, making Texas a worse
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: place to live, that's his legacy. And Michael McCall, you
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: might remember, folks pushed something called the Chips Act down
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: our throat. Remember the Chips Act are elected officials offshore
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: critical infrastructure that was used in our financial system, used
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: in our defense, national defense. They moved it offshore to Taiwan.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: You know what could go wrong moving it just miles
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: away from communist China? What could go wrong moving it
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: all there? And then when they found out, hey, maybe
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: that was a stupid thing to do, as Democrats have
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: eroded our resolve in stopping communists in this country. And
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, we found ourselves in a
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: pretty big national security risk of having our largest semiconductor
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: provider in Taiwan fall to the communist Chinese. Communist China
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: was already infiltrating the chips market, folks, rigging the chips
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: that we put in our ships and our vehicles, in
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: our defense computers for surveillance. I mean, this is discovered
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: during the era of Obama, whose bright idea was that,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, Republicans and Democrats the uniparty, I don't want
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: to forget. And then and then when they said, oh man,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: this could really lead to some people dying, then they said,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: let's pass the Chips Act billions of billions and billions
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: of dollars to bring back the chips back into America
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: that should never have been allowed to be exported to
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: begin with. I had Michael McCall folks booked on my
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: radio program to talk about this. The minute his people
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: found out that I wanted to ask about the Chips Act,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: they canceled the interview because he didn't want to talk
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: about how this Republican intentionally made every man, woman, and child,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: along with every other Republican and Democrat, put our lives
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: at risk by offshoring that which should never have been
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: offshore our national defense. You guys remember during the China virus,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Communist China saying hey, we're going to cut off your medications.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: How many do you remember that we're gonna cut off your medications? Now, Look, Joe,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: if you're still listening in Georgia, how am I supposed
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: to get over that? Let's be positive that Republicans and
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Democrats have colluded to offshore our medications to communists, China
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: and enemy nation. How am I supposed to let bygones
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: be bygones when they control our medications? Man? How am
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: I supposed to do that? Am I supposed to forget
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: and forget? Maybe I can forgive, but forget would be foolhardy.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe one day I could forgive the Michael McCalls and
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: the John Cornyns for teaming up a socialist and Marxist
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: to compromise our nation's national security. Maybe I could forgive
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: them at some point, But I would be stupid to forget,
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: and I think our voters would be stupid to forget
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: as well. So that leads me back to what's happening
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: here in the great State of Texas with the Republican
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Party of Texas. I'm just gonna reed from their statement, folks,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: and you'll all have a primer now that the current
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Texas House Speaker is a fake Republicans who has done
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: his best to continue the tradition of Republicans giving Democrats
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: more power in the House than they earned at the
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: ballot box. I'll give you a prime example. How many
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: of you know who James tell Ico is. He's the
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Democrat Senate candidate in Texas. Do you know he still
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: has chairmanships gifted to him in the Texas House by Republicans.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: He still has the imprimater of being a chairman inside
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: of the Texas House. Why because Republicans gave power to
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: him that his party didn't earn it the ballot box,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: and they're still giving it. He's the Democrat nominee for
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Senate and the Republicans are still supporting him here in Texas.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: That shows you how sick this whole system has become,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: this so called two party system, which is not I
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: would love to have a two party system back. It
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: would be great to have a political party that actually
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: opposes Democrats. Wouldn't that be wonderful. Here's what the Republican
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Party of Texas wrote. For only the second time in
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Texas history, the sitting Speaker of the Texas House will
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: address delegates at our convention. Speaker Boroughs is also stepping
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: forward as a sponsor of the convention as well. That
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: has never happened before. Before Speaker Boroughs held office, he
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: was a delegate and a precinct chair. He sat in
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: on those same seats, had those same conversations, and understands
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: exactly what it means to show up and help shape
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: the future of Texas. We are grateful for his willingness
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: not only to support this convention, but to be a
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: part of it in a way that respects and recognizes
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: the delegates who make this party strong. We look forward
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: to welcoming Speaker Boroughs to the twenty twenty sixth Texas
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Republican Convention at to end to a historic moment for
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: our party and our state. Now, look, I know many
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: of you are going to be you want it, tempted
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: to blame the Republican Party of Texas. Don't. Don't now, folks,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: that they've got to put on a convention. They have to.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: This is where the grassroots from all over and it
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: happens in Tennessee, it happens in Michigan, it happens in California.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: The parties put together these conventions and it is a
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: party for the parties. But there's also some camaraderie. There's
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: also work that gets done. Now for me, I say,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: you know what you can do that over a zoom call.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: You can do the work over a zoom call this opulence.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Spending on hotels and the parties and the speeches and
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: in the convention center space, all this kind of stuff
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: that's just kind of window dressing. I understand it's great
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: to have a party, and I get it. I understand
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: why it's necessary to have these types of celebrations. But
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: on the other hand, folks, if George Soros was planning
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: on attending a Republican convention, maybe your Republican convention, and
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: all he had to do was just buy his way in.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: He's gonna sponsor your Republican convention. Here comes Emperor Palpatine himself. Folks,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: George Soros, are we going to look the other way?
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: I am getting blowback in my state of Texas from
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: individuals who are willing to forget what Dustin Burroughs is.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: He is a Republican elected with forty nine Democrats and
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: thirty six fake Republican votes. He's a Democrat speaker. He's
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: elected by a majority of Democrats as a Republican speaker.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: He's a Democrat approved speaker. But because he's coming to
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: the table with a whole bunch of money, all is forgiven.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: And folks, now this is what he could do if
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: he was going to. Actually, some people are saying, well,
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: maybe he wants to be a conservative now, maybe he
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: wants to be a Republican. Maybe, okay, fine, Well, in
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: my mind, there's something he could do tomorrow to start
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: winning over conservatives. He can endorse Ken Paxton to be
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: the ex senator from the great state of Texas. He
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: could donate the maximum amount of money allowable under the
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: law to the Paxton campaign. He can get on stage,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: or he can say no more Democrat chairmanship. Republicans are
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: not going to gift Democrats' power to veto conservative bills
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: anymore in the Texas House. Oh and by the way,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: in the future, Republicans, if they're in the majority, only
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Republicans will elect the Speaker of the House. If they're
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: in the majority, Democrats will not have a say. Now,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: if he were serious about being a real Republican, if
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: you were serious about being an actual conservative, he would
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: do that. He has not done it thus far. So
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: many of you who are not out of the state
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: of Texas are going, Okay, Chris, bring this home. Why
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: does it matter to me if I'm in Tennessee or
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: I'm in Florida where Governor DeSantis. I think I just
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: saw a headline. Governor DeSantis signed the redistricting initiative into
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: law passed by both of his houses in his legislature,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: and the real deal a real conservative because Ronald Reagan
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: said that when you call yourself a Republican, that comes
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: with a set of values that needs to be lived
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: up to. And guys like Michael McCall and guys like
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: John Cornyn, and guys like John Thune and all the
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: rest of them have not been living up to those principles.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: As I said, there's no there are no unifying principles
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: in the Republican Party at this point. There should be,
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: but there are not. There are unifying principles in the
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Democrat Party. They're socialist Marxists, cooks and freaks, anti American cooks,
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: freaks and nuts. That's what they are there. Hey, you
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: may oppose what they stand for, but at least they
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: they know what they stand for. Right Republicans don't, and
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: they're about ready to hand over power to those very
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: same socialists and Marxists that have done so much harm
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: to this country over the last twenty or thirty years
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: because of their inaction on the Save America act How
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: many of you know Scott Presler. Scott Presler at Scott
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Presler on X folks, and by the way, go visit
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: me on X as well, because I commented on this
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: at c Salsado Show. At see Salsado Shows where you
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: can find all of this stuff listed if you want
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: to read up. Scott Pressler is doing something that I
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: think a lot of Republicans are to look into. He
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: is posting a procedure on his account that shows all
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: of you Republican voters where you can go and demand
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: your money back if you donated to win red, which
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: is the Act Blue, but on the Republican side and
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: not as crooked or corrupt as Act Blue is. Act
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Blue is getting investigated and sued by the aforementioned Ken Paxton,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: the most conservative attorney general in America. He is now
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: suing them, not the Department of Justice under Trump, Folks,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Ken Paxton from Texas is suing them because, among other things,
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: says the attorney general, Act Blue admitted they took foreign
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: money and laundered it into Democrat campaigns. That's illegal if
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: they can be proven they've admitted it. So let's see
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: if Ken Paxton can prove it anyway. So Scott Presler
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: is putting out a procedure saying if you donated to
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Win Red, and you made a donation saying I want
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Republicans to behave as Republicans in opposition to Democrats, and
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: then you saw John Thun and John Cornyn and the
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: rest of the Senate Republicans turn their back on the
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Save America Act saying Nope, no Save America Act for you.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Then you have every right to go to Win Red.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: And this is what Scott Presler is putting up. He's saying,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: go get your money back. They're gonna steal your money
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: with the help of Democrats anyway, right, your tax money.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Why do you have to donate out of your pocket
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: to these people so they can go up the Capitol
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Hill and work against you. That's what Scott Presler is saying.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: And because of the intransigence of John Thun and fake
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Republicans on the Save America Act, Scott Presler is to
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: targeting first John Cornyn in the Texas runoff on May
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: twenty sixth, take away John Thune's playthings. Folks defeat every Republican,
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Defeat every Republican who has betrayed us in service to socialists.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: And I've got that list. I didn't come up with it,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: by the way, a conservative actually came up with it,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Mark Meadows, former chief of staffed President Trump, former Congressman.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: I will give you the names of those senators who
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Scott Presler says should not win reelection in the Republican
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: primaries because they have betrayed their own voters, they have
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: betrayed their country in service to socialists. That list comes
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: your way next on Todd starn Show with me Chris Alsato.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Be right back, everybody, It's Todd Starns. You got me,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Chris Salsato filling in. I do a radio program myself.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: I like to fancy it a daily excursion into critical thinking.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: I have dedicated to making my audience the most informed
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: audience in media. So that's kind of what I do.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: And you know, when I was on television, I was
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: doing pretty much the same thing. Let me inform you
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: about these fake Republicans in the United States Senate who
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: have taken donations, and those donations have been used to
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: keep these people in place, and what is their legacy
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: item agreeing with leftists and Marxists nearly at every turn,
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: I want to thank Congressman Mark Meadows for outing these
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Republicans who have been basically instrumental in defeating the Save
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: America Act. Folks voting integrity. They want to keep the Democrats'
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: ability to cheat at the ballot box going their names.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: John Barrasso, John Boseman, Shelley Moore, Capito, Susan Collins, Tom Cotton,
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Kevin Kramer, Mike Crapo, John Daines, John Curtis, Deb Fisher,
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Buck Grassley, John Haven, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, James Langford,
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Lisa Mkowski, Jerry Moran, Pete Ricketts, Tim Scott, John Thune,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Tom Tillis, Roger Wicker, and Todd Young. Let me give
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: you some other names. These are air quotes Republicans who
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: have joined leftists and after Beijing, Biden and the Democrat
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: Party flooded this country with criminal illegal aliens to the
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: tune of over fifteen to twenty million illegal aliens in
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: four years. They now want to legalize them. These Republicans
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Maria Elvidro Salazar, Mike Lawler, David Valado, Dan Newhouse, Mike Kelly,
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Brian Fitzpatrick, Gave Evans, Marlon Stutzman, Don Bacon, Young, Kim Mario,
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: ds By Lart, James R. Baird, Kimberland, King Hines, James C.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Del Moynihan, Marca de la Cruz, Nick Laloda, Neil P. Dunn,
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: and Jennifer A. Kiggins. These individuals are called themselves Republicans,
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: but are unified with individuals who facilitated an invasion of
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: our country by millions of unvetity legal aliens from one
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: hundred and sixty eight countries around this globe and to
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: bring it back home to Texas. My friends, John Cornyn,
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: he hates the border wall. He hates border security. Here
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: he is in the Carl Rove Never Trump Network.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: Kevin listen, he needs to do tomorrow night too, make
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: some headway because the approval disapproval on the wall, those
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: numbers have been about the same for two and a
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: half years. What can he say tomorrow night that will
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: convince people to move in his direction?
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, that he's talking about Trump. She is Dana Perino,
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: former Bushy. Right, you will hear John Cornyn's response on
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: how how the wall is just bad news back in a.
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: Minute, live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: It's America's conservative blowtorch'.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: That's that.
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: This American.
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: Doug start.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: For the back everybody. You got christ Lseato in for
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Todd Stars Today's on the mend. I'll get you an
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: update on that coming up here in the next hour.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Before I bring on this hour's guest, I do want
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: to give a little bit of a review for those
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: who were just joining. We've been taking to task something
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: that's been going on in the state of Texas. And
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: as a Texan, folks, I got to tell you, so
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: goes Texas, so goes the rest of the nation. We
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: lose Texas, which a lot of fake Republicans are working
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: very hard to turn over control of Texas back to
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: these leftists and Marxists. We lose Texas, lose the whole
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: shooting match. As wonderful as DeSantis is, as great as
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: the state of Florida is at setting the standard for
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: what a Republican is supposed to be. By the way
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: I was riding, folks, they just signed the new redistricting
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: maps into law, did DeSantis. So it's going to go.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: And by the way, the Democrats have been doing this
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: for decades to Republicans and the Republicans. Oh, we don't
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: want to make them angry. Guys like John Corny don't
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: want to make Democrats angry, so we won't jerry mander
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: as aggressively as they have been in nine Democrats states,
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Folks who have populations of Republican voters anywhere from over
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: a third to nearly fifty percent of the electorate and
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: zero Republican representation in Congress. Zero. And that's how that's
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: what Democrats call fair. That's what Democrats call Oh, that's
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: the way things ought to be. And the minute the
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Republicans start fighting fire with fires, when Democrats start start
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: crying foul and some Republicans Fleischer, George W. Bush's press
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: secretary naval gazing, Oh no, we're making democrats mad. This
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: is a failure. No, no, Joining the fight finally is
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: something that should have been happening. Republicans should have been
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: prioritizing protecting their voters and our people from leftists and Marxists,
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: and they have not done so. Guys like John Cornyn,
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: where does he go? He goes under the Carl Road
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: never Trump Network to talk with Dana Perino, who is, remember,
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Bushy's former press secretary, and of course she's going to
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: make this silly, silly assumption that the people of Texas
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: don't want a border wall between Mexico and the Great
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: State of Texas, because we've got we've got to be
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: able to see our loving Texas are are loving Mexican
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: friends across the border as they are selling out their
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: own country to narco terrorists and others. Right, listen to
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Dana Perino set up John Cornyan. By the way, folks,
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: I'm sure this isn't coordinated at all.
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: He needs to do tomorrow night to make some headway
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: because the approval disapproval on the wall, those numbers have
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: been about the same for two and a half years.
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: What can he say tomorrow night that will convince people
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: to move in his direction?
• 40:11
  Speaker 8: Well, data, I think you know, coming from Texas with
• 40:13
  Speaker 8: the twelve hundred mile common border with Mexico, the idea
• 40:17
  Speaker 8: of a wall is somewhat off putting to a lot
• 40:20
  Speaker 8: of people.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: Know, every single Texan that I've run into anyway wants
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: border security, doesn't want illegal immigration, and every legitimate law
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: enforcement official that I've talked to about a border wall,
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: but then they call a force multiplier. You need fewer
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: men to do the job when you have force multipliers
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: in the field like the wall. And John Cornyn has
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: been against the border wall, voted against funding the border wall.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: Telef one number for US folks nine zero one two
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: six zero fifty nine twenty six nine zero one two
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. Let me bring on
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Representative Brian Harrison, Folks. He used to work with President
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: Trump as the chief of staff for President Trump at HHS.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: He is now a representative in the state of Texas
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: in the tenth State District there in the great state
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: of Texas. Sir, my friend, welcome to the Todd starn
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Show with me Chris Salcedolo.
• 41:15
  Speaker 9: It is always great to be with you, my friend,
• 41:17
  Speaker 9: and congratulations. Thrilled to join you here on the Todd
• 41:21
  Speaker 9: Starnes National Radio So today.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Thank you man. Look, I wanted to go over because
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: I've been instructing the national audience here on what is
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: transpired in Texas. A lot of people are shocked to
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: find out that the Texas House is actually run by Democrats,
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: even though it's a vast majority that is Republican. They
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: are shocked to find out that the current so called
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: Republican speaker was elected by forty nine Democrats and thirty
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: six fake Republicans. And when I informed the audience that
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: Dustin Burroughs not only has been given a prime speaking
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: role at this at the can where all the Conservatives
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: go to set policy for the Republican Party and to
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: try to guide the Republican Party, which, as you know,
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: then politician Republican politicians quickly ignore everything they do at
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: the convention. But the fact that he not only is
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: going to be given a speaking role, but he basically
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: donated a lot of money to do that. What is
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: your take on Speaker Borrows speaking at the convention.
• 42:28
  Speaker 9: Well, just because we're dealing with a national audience here
• 42:30
  Speaker 9: who may not be as familiar with Texas politics, I
• 42:32
  Speaker 9: feel like I got to highlight a couple of things
• 42:34
  Speaker 9: you just went over, so folks understand what we're dealing with.
• 42:37
  Speaker 9: You know, when I after serving as president from chief
• 42:39
  Speaker 9: of staff, it is the biggest cabinet agency. In this
• 42:41
  Speaker 9: first term, I moved back home to Texas, was elected
• 42:43
  Speaker 9: to the Texas Legislature, and I was excited to lock
• 42:46
  Speaker 9: arms with all these elected Republicans in Texas because I
• 42:49
  Speaker 9: thought that every elected Republican in Texas was fighting. It's
• 42:51
  Speaker 9: hard for freedom and liberty of the next generation as
• 42:54
  Speaker 9: those of us in the Trump administration and the state
• 42:55
  Speaker 9: of Texas got this reputation right for leading and you know,
• 42:59
  Speaker 9: small government, low taxes and low regulations and bold conservative
• 43:03
  Speaker 9: leadership and Neil at Chris nothing could have shocked me
• 43:07
  Speaker 9: or prepared me for this shock of learning after I
• 43:10
  Speaker 9: got elected that basically read Texas boll conservative. Texas is
• 43:15
  Speaker 9: a myth, and Texas has just been coasting on that reputation.
• 43:18
  Speaker 9: And worse, not only we just coasting our reputation, the
• 43:21
  Speaker 9: Texas government in particular the Texas House has actually allowed
• 43:25
  Speaker 9: and is controlled by the radical progressive Democrat and that
• 43:30
  Speaker 9: in fact the Democrat caucus that elects the leadership team
• 43:34
  Speaker 9: in the Republican dominated House. And that's insane. Today when
• 43:37
  Speaker 9: I got elected, forty percent of our committee chairmen were
• 43:42
  Speaker 9: chaired by radical Democrats. And imagine, if you know, Speaker
• 43:45
  Speaker 9: Johnson made Nancy Pelosi chair of the Ways and Means
• 43:48
  Speaker 9: or let AOC run the Energy and Commerce Committee. That
• 43:51
  Speaker 9: insanity literally has been going on in Texas for almost
• 43:55
  Speaker 9: two decades. The most powerful person in the Texas House
• 43:58
  Speaker 9: is a Barack Obama White House lawyer. He's our parliamentarian
• 44:02
  Speaker 9: and his job is to kill Republican priorities on behalf
• 44:07
  Speaker 9: of the fake Rhino establishments, sellout establishment. So that's exactly right.
• 44:12
  Speaker 9: And what happened last year, one year ago is even
• 44:16
  Speaker 9: though the Republican caucus had their nominee for speaker, sure
• 44:19
  Speaker 9: enough the Democrat caucus had their candidate. His name was
• 44:22
  Speaker 9: Dustin Burrows, and a handful of rhinos teamed up with
• 44:25
  Speaker 9: the Democrat caucus. They formed a majority and elected the
• 44:28
  Speaker 9: Democrats choice for speaker in the Texas House of Representatives.
• 44:34
  Speaker 9: That's why I made the motion of vacana. And I'm sorry, Chris,
• 44:37
  Speaker 9: you said before, as goes Texas, so goes the nation. Well,
• 44:40
  Speaker 9: we're gonna fight for the future Western civilization here. And
• 44:43
  Speaker 9: if Republican states like Texas cannot be counted on to
• 44:47
  Speaker 9: fight and stand up for bold Republicans, you know, Ronald
• 44:50
  Speaker 9: Reagan used to talk about Republicans, even took paint with
• 44:52
  Speaker 9: bold colors, no more pale pastels. And in Texas, sadly,
• 44:56
  Speaker 9: where with these fake rhinos that are just just too profly,
• 45:00
  Speaker 9: too many.
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: Of them down here.
• 45:02
  Speaker 9: Not only are we not painting with bold colors. We're
• 45:05
  Speaker 9: not even painting with past fills. Pac of these Republicans
• 45:08
  Speaker 9: down here, they're playing for the other teams.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 45:11
  Speaker 9: And I'm grateful for you exposing it to a national audience.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: Grip well, folks, there's another aspect of this. I want
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: to get in with, mister Harrison, because for those of
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: you who are not part of this convention atmosphere, just
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: so you know what the Republican conventions the Democrat conventions
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: all over the country in the individual states. They are
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: where the grassroots from both sides come together to try
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: to formulate policy. There's a lot of positive energy's it
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: is needed. So I'm not going to necessarily poo poo
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: the conventions itself, even though I'm going to say they
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: can be done on a zoom meeting. All the administrative
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: stuff can be done in a zoom meeting. You don't
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: need all the opulence spending. You don't need the hotels
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: and the restaurants, even though it's good for the economy.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: I understand that. But mister Harrison, it bears pointing out
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: that legislators from Texas and every state they are supposed
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: to be donating money to help defray the costs for
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: the grassroots. But in Texas, none of these fake Republicans
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: are donating. Like John Cornyan, what did he donate last year?
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: He donated lanyards. And by the way, all those lanyards
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: ended up being thrown into the trash because nobody would
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: wear a John Cornyan lanyard at the at the Republican Convention.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: So none of these fake Republicans who helped who join
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: Democrats to elect the speaker, none of them are donating
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: to the convention, right, And that's the that's what allowed most.
• 46:40
  Speaker 9: Of them don't even show up. I mean, most of
• 46:42
  Speaker 9: these fake you know rhino established with Republicans. They don't
• 46:45
  Speaker 9: want to be within one hundred miles of grassroots patriots.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: Why and that's what I'm saying, why do you think
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: they're not doing that?
• 46:55
  Speaker 10: Well?
• 46:55
  Speaker 9: They don't like the convention, they don't like the Republican Party,
• 46:57
  Speaker 9: they don't like what it stands for, and they don't
• 46:59
  Speaker 9: like people holding them accountable. I mean, that's the number
• 47:03
  Speaker 9: one thing is they don't want people scrutinizing or even
• 47:07
  Speaker 9: knowing about their total betrayals. And in the case of
• 47:11
  Speaker 9: you know, Speaker Burroughs, I mean, there may be no
• 47:13
  Speaker 9: bigger trader than somebody who literally teamed up with the
• 47:15
  Speaker 9: Democrats to thwart the Republican leadership team and take it.
• 47:19
  Speaker 9: And this is the same guy, by the way, speaking
• 47:21
  Speaker 9: to the national audience, Guys, we've got a center race
• 47:23
  Speaker 9: coming up. Noutter who wins the primary, they're gonna face
• 47:25
  Speaker 9: the most radical leftists to ever run for office from Texas,
• 47:28
  Speaker 9: James Tallarico. But here's the most underreported, most scandalous, but
• 47:33
  Speaker 9: least understood aspect of the James Tallarico saga. He didn't
• 47:37
  Speaker 9: come up just through the Democrat ranks. No, no, no,
• 47:39
  Speaker 9: James tall Rico was aided in his rise to national
• 47:44
  Speaker 9: prominence by Speaker Boroughs, by the fake Republicans who control
• 47:48
  Speaker 9: the House. Because I'm gonna say this slowly so if
• 47:50
  Speaker 9: people can hear this, you're gonna scratch your head. James
• 47:52
  Speaker 9: Tallerico radical six genders, James Tallerico, god is non binary.
• 47:57
  Speaker 9: James Talerico his choice for Sinker of the Texas House,
• 48:01
  Speaker 9: Dustin Burroughs. He helped elect Dustin Boroughs, voted for Dustin Burroughs,
• 48:06
  Speaker 9: and in return, Dustin Boroughs platformed him, made him co
• 48:09
  Speaker 9: chair of multiple committees, prioritized his legislation and set him
• 48:12
  Speaker 9: all the past to becoming the Democrat nomination for a
• 48:14
  Speaker 9: Senate And I will never legitimize Dustin Burrough's leadership or
• 48:19
  Speaker 9: speakership in the Texas House because that in it of
• 48:21
  Speaker 9: itself is a massive betrayal to the Republican principles of
• 48:24
  Speaker 9: the Republican Party, the Republican values, and Republican voters.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: Representative Brian Harrison, tenth District in the state of Texas. Folks,
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: my guest right now, he worked at Trump's HHS and
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: was did a great job before he came home to
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: Texas and ran for a state office here. So let
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: me ask you about as we turn our to the
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: national level. So what's happening in Texas is happening on
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: the national level with the Senate Republicans refusing to return
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: to the founding father's vision for the filibuster. They think
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: Mitch McConnell and John Thune, John Barrasso, John Corny, and
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: they all think that they know better than the founding
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: fathers of this country keeping the zombie filibuster, not making
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: the Democrats stand, and they're denying election integrity ahead of
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six men tournament. In other words, keeping
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: the ability for Democrats to cheat the battle box going strong.
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: What is your take on the intransigence of Senate Republicans
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: and not passing the Same America Act.
• 49:27
  Speaker 9: Well, I think it's there's something in the water in
• 49:29
  Speaker 9: the DC swamp. And Lord, I spent years by fighting
• 49:32
  Speaker 9: the swamp in DC. I understand it. And there's this
• 49:35
  Speaker 9: group think conventional wisdom in d C. And not only
• 49:38
  Speaker 9: is it wrong, it's one hundred and eighty degrees on
• 49:40
  Speaker 9: conventional wisdom in the Austin swamp and the DC swamp
• 49:43
  Speaker 9: and all the other swamps. Is that for Republicans to.
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: Win, you've gotta moderate.
• 49:48
  Speaker 9: You've got to make treat the Democrats nicer. Okay, be
• 49:51
  Speaker 9: just a little bit more liberal, and then maybe the
• 49:54
  Speaker 9: media will be nice to you, and maybe you'll get
• 49:56
  Speaker 9: more voters. It's hogwash. It's been bunk in malarkey for
• 50:00
  Speaker 9: a generation, but weak establishment Republicans keep falling forward. Half
• 50:04
  Speaker 9: of them are too stupid to know any better, but
• 50:06
  Speaker 9: they keep falling for it because it makes them popular
• 50:09
  Speaker 9: in the swamps. And here's the truth about the electoral
• 50:12
  Speaker 9: politics for this Chris, I know you not this. Republicans
• 50:15
  Speaker 9: don't win elections by being weak. Republicans don't win elections
• 50:19
  Speaker 9: by being Democrat liked. Republicans win elections when their voters
• 50:23
  Speaker 9: are energized. And what makes their voters energized. What makes
• 50:26
  Speaker 9: Republican voters energized is the belief that the sacrifice of
• 50:30
  Speaker 9: the generations that fought and died for our freedom will
• 50:33
  Speaker 9: not be in vain. What motivates Republican voters is the
• 50:36
  Speaker 9: belief that their children and grandchildren will inherit a state,
• 50:39
  Speaker 9: in a country where freedom and liberty are protected. And
• 50:42
  Speaker 9: so I would go to the opposite direction. You want
• 50:44
  Speaker 9: to win in the midterms, Go hard, go bold for
• 50:47
  Speaker 9: conservatism now, and in the state of Texas, we should lead.
• 50:49
  Speaker 9: Why are we sitting on our duff. I'm demanding that
• 50:52
  Speaker 9: I've been begging the governor call a special session now today.
• 50:56
  Speaker 9: Let's start eliminating property taxes today. Let's deal with the
• 50:59
  Speaker 9: threat from Sharia law today. Let's repeal the big government
• 51:03
  Speaker 9: liberal cancer that's crept into the state government. Let's repeal
• 51:06
  Speaker 9: Hollywood subsidies. Let's ban spending tax dollars on DEI and
• 51:10
  Speaker 9: transgender indoctrinations. That's happening in all of our public universities.
• 51:14
  Speaker 9: Let's actually pass stronger state level border security bills, something
• 51:18
  Speaker 9: we haven't done. Let's pass stronger election integrity bills. If
• 51:21
  Speaker 9: we behaved bold, that's how you guarantee electoral success of
• 51:25
  Speaker 9: the ballot. Boston, and you mentioned Governor of Stantus, the greatest,
• 51:27
  Speaker 9: most bold governor in the country. Florida used to be
• 51:30
  Speaker 9: a purple state. Now it's solidly read and didn't get
• 51:34
  Speaker 9: that way by squishy Republicans. No, it got that way
• 51:37
  Speaker 9: from bold Republican leadership emanating from the top. Texas could
• 51:41
  Speaker 9: learn from it, and national Washington Republicans should learn from that.
• 51:46
  Speaker 9: You want to win at the midterms, be bold, do
• 51:49
  Speaker 9: the right thing, and who cares what the media writes
• 51:52
  Speaker 9: about you? The next generation is more important.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: Texas State Representative Brian Harrison, tenth District in the State
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: of Texas, Sir, the commentary, appreciate the analysis. I think
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: a lot of folks are with you. Thank you man,
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: God bless.
• 52:04
  Speaker 9: You Chris, and God bless the great state of Texas
• 52:06
  Speaker 9: and God bless America.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks man. Telephone number here for the Todd
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: Starnes Radio Show with me Chris Salsato sitting into a
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: folks nine zero one two six zero fifty nine twenty
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: six nine zero one two six zero five nine two six.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: I have a question for you. Some people in the
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: state of Texas are saying, Hey, we're gonna look the
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: other way because this fake Republican speaker is coming to
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: the table with a whole bunch of money. Let me
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: ask this audience, how much money does it take to
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: buy you and your values? How much money does it
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: take for you to compromise your values?
• 52:40
  Speaker 8: Now?
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: Let me know, Let me know what that dollar figure is.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: Where you will abandon what you believe, You will abandon
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: what you've espoused and believed and advocated for your entire life.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: What is that dollar figure? Let me know. Todd Starns
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: Radio Show with Me Chris Alsato nine zero one two
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: six zero fifty nine twenty six. Be right back, Glas,
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: You've made it back. Everybody here to the Todd starn Show.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: It's me for Salcedo. There is an update on Todd.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: We will get you here, uh Toma next hour. I
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: think the question. I think the question I posited. Some
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: of you might thought it was a little flipping. But
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: I think that that if if you if you ask
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: the electorate, if you ask voters, how much money will
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: you take to compromise your values, your love of America,
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: your your insistence that that elections be free and fair,
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: your the your insistence that the rule of law be
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: adhered to, that it applies to everybody equally. I think
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: the vast majority of you would say, there's no amount
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: of money ever that could make me compromise on those values.
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: But sadly, I don't think our elected officials have that barometer.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: They can be bought off, and they can be given
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: certain amounts of money to how shall we say, compromise
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: their professed values. Remember, as Reagan said, there is supposed
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: to be a certain set of values that comes with
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: being a Republican. And it's not just some exercise for branding.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: Oh I call myself a Republican so I can get elected.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: But the planks, the conservative planks of the Republican Party
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: mean nothing to me. Well, they mean nothing to certain
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: people like the aforementioned John Cornyn. Folks. I know that
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: this may seem ultimately self serving, that I am talking
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: about this on talk radio because John Cornyn has been
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: such a disaster for the state in which I reside.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: But guess what, folks, chances are if you're among these
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: fifty states that have fake Republicans in it, you're suffering too.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: And I meant what I said off the top of
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: the show, the action in this year election will all
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: be in the GOP primary when you elect a Democrat.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: The Democrat voters don't care to elect anybody who's American,
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: don't care to elect anybody who is pro constitution. It's
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: all happening in the Republican primary. And I think the
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: state of Texas, with a runoff election coming up, we
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: could send a message. The state of Texas is going
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: to have to send that message to John Thune. Oh
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: you want to legislate against the will of the American people, Fine,
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: but you're going to pay a steep price for that.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: Means you're going to lose your job. And it's about
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: time our people remembered of an elementary fact. Suppose you
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: got the Todd Starnes radio show. It's Micras Salcedo. I'm
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: your liberty loving Latino. Do not confuse me with loudmouth
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: leftist Latinos out there. I actually love my country, the
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: United States of America. All right, so let's go over
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: what I mean by when the when I say the
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: primaries are where it's going to be at this year.
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you that if and John Thune is
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: not up for reelection this year, he doesn't face the
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: voters until twenty twenty eight. That's why he can be
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: such a charlatan. That's why he can do what he's doing,
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: because he is banking on you, folks in South Dakota,
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: being as dumb as rocks, and that you're going to forget.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: You're going to forget by the time he is up
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: for reelection, his unwillingness and his hatred of the founding
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: fathers of this country. It's we can't return to the
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: vision of the founding fathers for the filibuster. By the way,
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: the filibuster was never intended, folks, to stop debate. It
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: was intended to foster debate. The zombie filibuster that we're
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: doing right now inside the United States Senate debate, it
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: prevents debate. All the Republicans or the Democrats were depending
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: on which one is the minority has to say, is, oh,
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: we're going to filibuster that, and they say, okay, we
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: want to do it. That's it. No debate has ever had,
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: so you guys can know here we want to do
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: voting integrity. Nope, nope, Democrats a filibuster and Republicans go okay, okay, okay,
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: we won't bring it up. Okay? Now is that having
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: it out? Is that? Is that discussing and debating? Folks?
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: I did some back in the day when I was
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: working for a CBS owned and operated station in Texas.
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: I did a report on voting. Did you know that
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: there are government checks to see whether or not the
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: voter is eighteen years old or not, if they have
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: the reach the age of consent adults? Did you know that?
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: Did you know your government can check as to whether
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: or not your three burrito short of a combination plan?
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: Did you know that? Did you know that there are
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: government checks to see if you're a felon, if you're
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: prevented from voting because you have a felony conviction. Did
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: you know that? And did you know there are no
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: government checks for citizenship? And that's by law, friends, that's
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: by law. So let me ask you, why do you
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: think Republicans and Democrats colluded together to create a law
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: that would check for every criteria except for citizenship. Why
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: would they do such a thing, folks. So this is
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: a long simmering hole in our election system that needs
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: to be plugged. The Save America Act enjoys seventive to
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: eighty five percent approval rating among our people. Tell me
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: what issue seventy five of our people agrees on at all.
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: Tell me one issue whill you get seventy five to
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: eighty five percent buy in from the American people across
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: all party affiliations. Tell me one. I can't name one
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: except for this, except for voting integrity. Now, remember when
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: you elect a Democrat, you elect a dictator. And Democrat
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: voters say, I elect Democrats tell me what to do,
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: how to live my life, and tax away from people
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: who earn the money to give it to me the
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: prubms that they leave for me. That's what a Democrat
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: voter does. A Republican voter, a conservative votes for a
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: government of buy and for the people self government, meaning
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: they are there to do our will, not their own.
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: But so why do I say that? Because Democrat voters,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: when they're elected officials, tell them no, to go screw themselves.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: Democrat voters go, Okay, no problem, I'll do that. You've
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: tell me what to do. This is how I want.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: That's how they regard government. When when Republicans do that
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: to conservatives, Republicans say, come again, excuse me. So what
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: I'm asking you all to do is to get a
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: little angry that the Republican Party in the United States Senate,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: the Republican officials, and the United States Senate have looked
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: at you and said, no, we're not going to give
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: the American people what they want. And I want you
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: to contrast this, folks. Remember Obamacare. Remember Obamacare when it
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: was being debated, not one, not one poll showed majority
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: support for Obamacare, but the Democrats crammed it down. Our
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: throats are up the nearest orifice anyway. They did it anyway.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: So that's the difference between the two political parties. My friends.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: You've got Republicans who won't deliver on a seventy five
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: eighty five fifteen issue, eighty five to fifteen issue. But
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: you've got Democrats, even though they don't have the majority
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: support among Americans, who will cram stuff down our throats
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: whether we like it or not. That's the difference. And
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: at the end of the day. That means there is
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: no difference because leftists will always push leftist policies and
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: Republicans will always push leftist policies. At the end of
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: the day, those differences mean both parties are the same,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: doesn't it. You want to reach out and tell me, folks,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: where my logic is going wrong. I mean, we had
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: Joe in the first hour who called up and said,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: come on, we got to remain positive. I am positive.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be ruled by leftists and Marxist anymore. Ever, again,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: frankly call us up nine zero one two six zero
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: fifty nine to twenty six nine zero one two six
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. So I already played one
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: SoundBite from a fake Republican saying that a border wall
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: doesn't make sense. Do you guys agree with John Cornyn
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: that a border wall doesn't make any sense? Well, here's
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: John Cornyn pushing amnesty for illegal aliens, folks.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 8: The proposal we made included border security, interior enforcements, improvements
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 8: in the Everify system, and a path the legal status
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 8: for doc of recipients, and limits on certain type of
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 8: chain migration. Members of the Republican Conference, including myself indicated
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 8: to willingness to continue to negotiate and said this was
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 8: our starting point.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: Ye starting point. Remember when Ronald Reagan folks gave his amnesty,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: gave the first We gave three million illegal aliens, criminally
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: illegal aliens amnesty, and Ronald Reagan said it was the
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: number one thing he regretted because he trusted Congress. Because
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: the deal was increased border security, so we'd never come
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: down this road again, and then we would normalize those
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: illegal aliens who busted into our country. Right. Well, guess what.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: They normalized the criminal illegal aliens fast enough, but the
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: border security never came. As you all know, before Beijing
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: Biden's occupation of the Oval Office, this nation was home
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: to twenty five to thirty million illegal aliens. I know
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: the official number has been eleven to twelve million illegal
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: aliens for the last thirty years. But you would be
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: an idiot if you thought that massive uncontrolled illegal immigration
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: over thirty years kept the numbers at eleven to twelve
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: million the entire thirty years. You'd be a complete moron.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: And nobody in this country who's been paying attention is
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: a complete moron. The way those in Washington, DC think
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: we are. And I will tell you this that Republicans
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: and Democrats have been legislating against the will of the
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: American people on illegal immigration for the better part of
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: a half century. They have betrayed us, our people on
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: this issue, both political parties, the uniparty. So you got
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: Cornyn saying he hates the wall, hates border barriers because
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: they're a full force multiplier that stops his illegal aliens.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: And then once they get here, here's John Cornyn reflecting
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: the dignity DoD Act folks passed by are proposed by
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: Maria Alvida Salazar and Mike Lawler and Don Bacon, right,
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: those fake Republicans saying, oh yeah, they're here now the
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: Democrats bring them in and Republicans normalize them. Is that
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: what you voted for? My friends? How about this? How
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: about you folks around the country. Do you prize your
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: Second Amendment? Here's John cornin folks, saying that unconstitutional, unlawful
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: attacks on your due process rights and your Second Amendment rights.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: He trusts the Blue States to violate the Constitution. This
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: is John Cornyn saying, I support the Blue States breaking
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: the US Constitution.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 8: Listen, I trust the States to make their own decisions.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 8: And sixteen states have decided to pass red flag laws.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 8: But that's fewer than half of the states with red
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 8: flag laws on the books. Congress should not only send
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 8: federal funding to those states, but also other states that
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 8: are doing things to deal with people in crisis.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: Mm So, those of you who don't care about illegal
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: aliens invading your country. For those of you who don't
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: care about giving amnesty to the criminal illegal aliens, how
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: about your second Amendment? Those of you say we got
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: to be positive, Let's just forget that. John Cornyn worked
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: with socialists to impose new gun restrictions that would deny
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: due process rights. Red flag laws, folks, we should call
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: them blue flag laws. Basically, all you got to have
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: is some whacked out neighbor, It says, oh so and
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: so is gonna go crazy with his firearms, and then
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: the Blue states get to break into your home and
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: take your guns until they can sort it all out right,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: denial of due process. The action comes first, the due
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: process comes later, if it comes at all in a
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: blue state. And John Cornyn, you heard him, I trust
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: blue states.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 8: I trust the states to make their own decisions.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: Huh. This has led folks to Ken Paxton creating an
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: ad about John Cornyn. Now, what I'm going to tell you, folks,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: John Cornyn is just like all those other fake Republicans
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: I listened earlier from the United States Senate. He's just
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: like all of them, and that's why they're fighting so hard. Folks.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: What you need to know, how many of you donated
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: to the Republican Party. Well, Chris Lsovita and FP one
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: Strategies dedicated your money to defeating Ken Paxton and putting
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: this rhino back in. One hundred million dollars to defeat
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: a conservative, not Democrats. That's what's happened, folks. One hundred
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: million dollars spent by the National Republican Senatorial Committee to
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: put this shrub, this fake Republican back in and to
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: defeat conservatives. The Republican establishment, led by guys like Chris
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: Losovita and FP one Strategies, working to defeat conservatives and
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: keep Surrender Caucus Republicans in power so they can sell
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: you out another day. And that led to this ad
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: from Ken Paxton.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 11: John Cornan is pro amnesty. Cornan pushed Joe Biden's amnesty
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 11: agenda and said you should just deal with illegals.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 8: You know, the American people are compassionate people. I think
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 8: they would find a way to deal with the twelve
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 8: million people.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 11: If Cornyon even attacked Trump's border ball as naive and
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 11: said a wall makes no sense.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: The new giant.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 8: Wall clean the United States in Mexico makes no sense.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 11: Whatso Cornyon good, free illegals, bad for Texans.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: I'm Kinkyston and I approve this message. John corn came
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: in over the weekend and said that AD was a lie.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: The AD quoted him directly and said it was a
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: lie that takes hutzba folks to gaslight the people of Texas.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: By the way, all these other fake Republicans in the
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: United States Senate right now are doing the same thing
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: in your states. Any of you angry enough to make
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: them pay for betraying you. I'm telling you, folks, the
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: Republican primary is where real change will come this year.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: Call me up. Nine zero one two six zero fifty
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: nine to twenty six nine zero one two six zero
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: five nine twenty six. How much could these people pay
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: you to abandon your your abandon your principles. Let me know.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: Chris Alsato in for Todd Starns be right back. All right,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: but what's walking back? Let me give to the phones.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: You've got Chris Alsato in for Todd Stars. It's going
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: to w s C and have a conversation with Charles. Hey, Charles,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: Welcome to the Todd Starns Show with me. Chris Salsado, Hey, Chris,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: how are you doing this afternoon? Doing great? Man?
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 8: Thanks?
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 10: So, Chris, here's a question I want to ask you.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 10: Everything you're saying is spot on about uh illegal immigration, Uh,
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 10: John Cormyn.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 12: Uh.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 10: But getting to the stayback to me, that is really
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 10: the only issue right now, because if we don't have
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 10: secure elections, we're gonna lose, and the Democrats are going
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 10: to get power and they're going to implement this radical
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 10: agenda like packing the Supreme Court and doing all these
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 10: crazy things. So and rhinos, we know he've named the
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 10: rhinos that have been, you know, putting up resistance to
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 10: pass in it. But I gotta tell you, as much
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 10: as I like Trump, I'm really disappointed at him that
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 10: he has not called for an emergency legislative session of
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 10: the Senate like he's authorized to do under I think
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 10: Article two, Section three of the Constitution.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 7: I mean, why.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 13: Doesn't he called them into session.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 10: And say, look, guys, you're going to stay here. I
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 10: don't give a damn if it takes seven months. But
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 10: you're working seven days a week and you're passing the
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 10: stayback or you're not going home. You're not going home
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 10: in the campaign, you're not doing anything. You're going to
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 10: have a speaking filibuster, and this act is going to
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 10: pass or nothing else is getting done.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know about the power of the president to
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: do that to the United States Senate, but I will
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: I will tell you, Charles, I'm I'm befuddled. Because it's
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: not just Save America Act. The United States Senate is
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: also actively preventing Republicans are preventing President Trump's nominees from
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: getting approved. When they went on their most recent vacation,
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: their long vacation, they just got back from another one.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: Because you know, they're running out the clock. You can
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: tell they're running out the clock. They put the Congress
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: into a pro form a session of Congress to prevent
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: Trump from making recess appointments to these key positions, because
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: those key positions would be in charge of prosecuting Democrats
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: for their violation of law. So the Democrats say, we
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: don't want these prosecutors filled so they can't come after us,
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: and John fun and fake Republicans agreed, and so they're
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: preventing justice. They're defending socialists and Marxists. They're trying It
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: seems to me. I don't know what you feel about this, Charles,
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: but it seems to me they're trying to get back
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: to corruption as usual on Capitol Hill, and Trump is
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: in their way. So you got Foon in company working
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: with socialists and Democrats should turn over the country back
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: to these people so that elections won't matter at all
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: in the future. Seems that that's what it's. It's what
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: it my read on it is. What do you think.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 10: I agree with you?
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 13: I mean, it's Chris, it's almost just like the Republicans
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 13: in the Senate and the House. Some of them they
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 13: don't want to win. They like being in the minority
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 13: where they can, you know, complain the whole time. And
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 13: you know it's all performative, all this, you know, all
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 13: of it. But there is a provision in the Constitution forris.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 13: I want to say, it's an Article two, section three,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 13: where the President of the United States has the authority
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 13: to call an emergency session of Congress. Uh, and I
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 13: think for either one house or both houses. And I
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 13: just don't understand why he doesn't do that with US Senate.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 13: And in the same sentence a call for the removal
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 13: of John Thune as the majority leader unless he gets
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 13: this fast and ask for five or seven Republicans to
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 13: step forward and say, all right, let's do it. You know,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 13: Targo Targer complain, let's put up her, shut up, let's
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 13: let's Uh, I need five vote to have a you know,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 13: to remove John Dunn.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but again, who's gonna step in? I mean, remember,
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: there are over twenty fake Republicans in the United States
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: Senate right now who would probably put in somebody worse.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: Here's the Article two, section three of the Constitution. He,
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: meaning the President, shall, from time to time, give to
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: the Congress information of the state of the Union, and
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: necessary and expedient. He may, on extraordinary occasions, conven both
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: houses or either of them. In a case of disagreement
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: between them with respect to the time of adjournment. He
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: he shall receive ambassadors and other public ministers. So I
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: guess by reading of that he could call the Senate
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: because of their disagreement with the House on the Save
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: America Act. I mean, in theory. But remember, folks, President
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: Trump isn't complaining either about all of his nominees being
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: stalled out right now, which is also making me scratch
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: my head. What is happening with President Trump and his agenda?
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: It looks like it's collapsing. Courtesy of Republicans.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: America's favorite gun, total bible clinging, deplorable American.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: That's this American.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 6: Todd starts, well, yeah.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, folks, Hey, welcome back at Tour three at the
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: Todd Stars Show. You got me Chris Salsado sitting in.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: I try to put on when I do my radio show,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: a daily excursion into critical thinking. And that's kind of
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: what what I do. I try to make my my
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: audience is the most informed in media. Telephone numbers nine
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: zero one two six zero fifty nine twenty six nine
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: zero one two six zero five nine two six. Got
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: a guest coming up, Colonel Tony Shaffer standing by, but
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: I have a pastor standing by. I'm gonna go with
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: God first. Always, folks, I'm gonna go with God first.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: So if you have somebody who's representing the Lord, you
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: always want to take. And Pastor John is waiting from Kentucky,
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: k w a m. Pastor, Welcome to the Toss Starn
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: Show with me. Chris Salcedo.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 14: Well, I don't know if I'm gonna be very pastoral today,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 14: but first thing, I want to compliment you, mister Alsado.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 14: You know I talked to you a while back, and
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 14: so are you sure you're not related tole Aozata? Will
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 14: you sure act like him? He was a He was
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 14: a defensive crazy man on the field. In in your
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 14: capabilities as talk show hosts, you're displaying that same ferocity
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 14: that Lyle Alzado did on the football field.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: Well that's that's fair that those are very kind words.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: And I do remember the great Lyle Alzado he was
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: When I was watching the NFL before they went woke.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: I loved the history that the history of the National
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: Football League when it was Pro American. Sadly it's no longer.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: But anyhow, you wanted to comment on what we've been
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: talking about so far today.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 14: Well, first of all, I've been a US citizen since
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 14: August eighth, nineteen sixty eight, to twelve PM. I was
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 14: sworn in at the US Federal Court in Cleveland, Ohio.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 14: And I believe that the only reason why these politicians,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 14: both the House and the Senate haven't done what they
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 14: really wanted to do. And I really believe this because
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 14: my mom, when she had a citizenship book, was one
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 14: hundred and thirty seven pages long and was only written
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 14: in English, and she was Japanese and she learned English,
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 14: is that we had this Constitution, and in that Constitution
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 14: you had the Second Amendment, and with that second Amendment
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 14: just before we have the First Amendment. But you cannot
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 14: have that first Amendment without that second Amendment. And a
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 14: lot of Americans failed to realize that a lot of
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 14: US served, a lot of US bled and a lot
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 14: of you know, those Arlington is full of men and
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 14: women that have protected that Constitution in our American way
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 14: of life. And I don't know how many people that
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 14: fled communist countries have been constantly warning the American people
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 14: don't listen, but they refuse to listen to the truth.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 14: And again I can sincerely believe in it's preached from
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 14: the pulpit, not my pulpit, but a couple of others.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 14: The pastors are saying, you cannot have that first of
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 14: men without the Second Amendment. And that's where our founding
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 14: father started in small churches. And if the American people
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 14: failed to realize that, as you have said with that
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 14: ferocity of l Zato, mister Alveato, if you do not listen,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 14: we will lose this country. And that is my greatest fear.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 14: And one more thing.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 9: It's just I just and if people refuse to listen
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 9: to that. Thomas Jefferson said it best, and I'll hang
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 9: up and listen to your comments. The greatest danger to
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 9: this republic not democracy. It is not mob rule as
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 9: to republic is the uninformed electorate.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 14: God bless you.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: Mister Alsado, Thank you, thank you, sir. I appreciate it,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: pastor appreciate the uh the comparison to the great lyle Alzado.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: It's gotta say. That's a first, folks. It's a first
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: one A telephone number if you want to reach out
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: to me and have a conversation nine zero one two
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six nine zero one two
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six Chris Salcedo and four
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: Todd Starns, which I'll get you an update on his condition, folks.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: I know many of you are worried about him, so
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: I'll get you that update coming up after. I welcome
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: on retire Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaeffer, somebody who has served
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: this country in uniform. He's a Newsmax contributor and he
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: is the founder of and president of Project Sentinel. Colonel Welcome, Hey, Chris.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 7: Always great to be on with you. Thanks for having me.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: Great to have you here. Well, a couple of reasons
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: I wanted to invite you on. I wanted to get
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: an update and your analysis on the operation in the RAM.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: Before I get to all that, why don't you address
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: what the pastor was talking about and why John Cornyn
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: is such an affront to so many Americans as he
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: worked with these leftists and these Marxists to disarm the
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: American people with his unconstitutional red flag law financing system,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: forcing us all to finance blue state red flag laws.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: What do you think about that?
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 7: So most of the country, Chris enjoy the Second Amendment
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 7: and I agree with the pastor it's linked to the first.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 7: They're interlocked for good reason. And I live in rural
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 7: North Carolina and everybody here has guns, and I see
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 7: people walking around open carry. And we have a fraction,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 7: a fraction of the issues of big cities. And to
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 7: your point regarding Porton, these people finance this left wing
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 7: lunacy of trying to believe that gun control is going
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 7: to change culture, and it's not. We have a culture
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 7: that enjoys and respects in the ship. Uh. And the
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 7: inner city has become essentially assessment of social experimentation that
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 7: leans hard into communism. Lookause Mondami. Most of the other
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 7: large metropolitan cities are run by essentially Marxists. I mean
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 7: they are and Brandon Johnson Chicago. And it's always the
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 7: blame on the inanimate object, uh, not on you know,
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 7: the culture. And this whole rat red flag thing is
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 7: or William. The idea here, Chris, is somehow we we
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 7: people are going to be able to, you know, tell
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 7: on our neighbor, to report them, to say, oh that
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 7: this guy is dangerous. Look, I know I live amongst
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 7: retired Special Operations Forces folks down here. I talked to
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 7: one today, and they are dangerous because that's what they're
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 7: trained to do. But they're not dangerous where they're going
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 7: to pick up a gun and go do something illegal
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 7: with it. There's a big distinction. So this, this whole
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 7: red red flag thing opened the door Shenanigan's Bible left
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 7: to accuse you know, law abiding citizens who are dangerous
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 7: because we've been trained to be dangerous, but we'll never
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 7: do anything against society or our government. Is this is
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 7: how this whole thing is being sold, and somehow it's
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 7: going to save lives. It's not. It's simply going to
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 7: get the left of tool to use against law abiding citizens.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: And it turns the American assumption of innocent until proven
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: guilty on its ear. John Cornyan believes you are guilty
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: this and it's up to you to prove the state
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: that you're innocent. That is anti American and that is
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: why John Cornyan and those of his ilk there were
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: Republican other Republicans who supported this gun confiscation bs who
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: deserve to be drummed out of the United States Congress,
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: not real Americans in this conservative's opinion. So let's discuss
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: colonel you and me. The thirty thousand feet up. The
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: Iranian conflict. We've got gas prices bearing down on the
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: politics of all of this, and it seems that we're
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: kind of stalled out right now as far as to
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: getting the Iranians, who are from my vantage point, they're
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: up against it. But how do you see this?
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 7: So let's start with what in the end, And I
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 7: always believe and I've been trying to do it. Believe
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 7: you know, basically you set your objectives with the end
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 7: of mind what you're trying to achieve. President Trump is
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 7: blatantly in my judgment, I see it is going for
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 7: eighty percent control or influence or otherwise being able to
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 7: determine work those eighty percent of global energy. That's what
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 7: he's doing, and it's happening. The Venezuela issue was not
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 7: by chance. He did that first. We've actually had PX
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 7: set down in Indonesia making agreements for regarding the Straits
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 7: of Malacca, where something like twenty percent of global shipping
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 7: goes through, to make sure we control that not the
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 7: other guys. And ultimately that's what's at stake here. And
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 7: he's going against the London bankers, Davos, all those guys
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 7: and by the way, a little aside we should talk
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 7: about sometimes James Colly, the indictment of Comy and all
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 7: those folks. That's their job was to stop Trump from
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 7: doing exactly what he's doing now, and they failed, thank goodness.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 7: But it doesn't mean we shouldn't prosecute call me those
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 7: other folks for trying to prevent what Trump is doing now. Now,
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 7: President Trump has decided, within the context of dealing with
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 7: a threat and known threat, a threat that's now acting
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 7: out in ways that are illegal regarding straighta farmos, he's
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 7: decided now to take on Iran. And are we feeling
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 7: some pain? Absolutely Unfortunately, our gas which is selling like
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 7: hotcakes right now. By the way, Texas and other oil
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 7: producers are going great guns trying to increase production, so
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 7: the company should be very happy about that. But what
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 7: we're trying to do, Chris, is changed the way governance
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 7: is done at the global level. That's what President Trump
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 7: is doing, trying to actually restore, in my judgment, the
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 7: promise of seventeen seventy six are two hundred fieth anniversary
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 7: coming up and being able to live freely. Otherwise we
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 7: have globalists like Barack Obama Cornan and others who somehow
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 7: believe we and our interests should be subordinated to a
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 7: larger world government. That's what's really going on. And so
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 7: the London folks, lords of London dabolos, have always played
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 7: both sides against the metal. They always win no matter
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 7: who loses, and that's going to end. It's time for
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 7: us to reassert kind of our principles globally. We're not
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 7: going to run the globe, but we want to have
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 7: a globe that basically is willing to trade, to interact
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 7: and do things in such a way that benefit the
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 7: American people primarily, and the rest of the world. Other
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 7: sovereign nations will have equal sovereignty and we can work
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 7: together as equals.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: Folks. What the colonel is talking about is spot on
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: that everything that is being done is to counter communist China,
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 2: to undermine the presence their presence in our atmosphere, our atmosphere,
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: our hemisphere and maybe even the atmosphere too, but their
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: their presence in our hemisphere, their influence that have been
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: allowed to expand, those influences by baraq Hussein Obama and
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: by Democrats who have been working and frankly some Republicans
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 2: like Mitch McConnell who've been working to expand China's influence unduly.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 2: And a world where China's influence is dominant is a
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: dark world. Indeed, and President Trump, everything he's doing is
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: to curtail communist China's domination over the globe. So and
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: again it may come at a political cost, but we'll
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 2: see how it all goes. What is your evaluation of
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: the Iranians' military capability?
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 7: At this point, military capabilities is gone. The problem is
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 7: you still have the IRGC who's taken the Iranians uh
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 7: Guard who protect the revolution that is their their Islamic revolution.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 7: They're taking. They've taken charge of all means of controlling
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 7: the government. That's why you see the chaos you see.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 7: And these people do believe Chris that in their version
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 7: of Islam, and they are the Shia. They believe the
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 7: twelfth MM, their Mahdi, their version of Jesus, will return
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 7: if they create enough chaos and destruction. That's their belief.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 7: They believe that they must have the apocalypse that their
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 7: disciples to return and reunify Islam. That's why they're holding out.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 7: And they have this extreme, extreme belief, and there are
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 7: people in the Iranian government versions who do want to
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 7: have peace, who do want to get back to commerce
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 7: and things like that, and the unfortunately they're not being
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 7: as successful as I think we'd hope and being able
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 7: to gain control. I do believe there's a popular uprising coming.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 7: I think we've been able to open away for a
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 7: lot of the elements, the Green Party and other elements
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 7: within Iran Is start looking at how they can upend
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 7: the government, which is now controlled by the IRGC. But
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 7: for the most part, yeah, we are now kind of
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 7: in a waiting game to see how long this takes.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 7: And let me make this very clear for your audience
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 7: to understand everything I Ran is doing at this point
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 7: regarding the straight upon moop is illegal. They have no
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 7: legal basis to do anything they're doing. As a matter
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 7: of fact, I would have started with the kind of
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 7: dealing with their fleet of tankers first. If I were
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 7: the president, I would seize every one of their tankers.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 7: We've got sixty plus in our possession. That's a lot
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 7: of oil that we should just take and seize as
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 7: booty of war. And then the Iranians are violating every
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 7: convention that they've signed, and by the way, they've never
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 7: signed up to the nineteen fifty eight unclassed which is
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 7: basically the law of the Sea Convention, so they have
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 7: no right of anything. As a matter of fact, according
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 7: to what they've agreed upon, they have no more than
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 7: a three mile limit off their shore that they can
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 7: have dominance of based on what treaties they've signed. So
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 7: this whole thing of them acting out saying that we're
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 7: violating the ceasefire by enforcing UN regulations and rules by
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 7: allowing for free trade and commerce to go through the
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 7: Strait is insane. And I can't believe the American media
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 7: media and the left are actually applauding what the rip
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 7: of what the Uranians are doing, because literally, the Iranians
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 7: are trying to updend global the economy for purposes of
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 7: their own revolution.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: Colonel Tony Schaffer our guest right now, folks, Project Sentinel.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: He is the president of Projects Sentinel. What did you
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: make of Trump's letter, not not only his letter to
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: Congress saying, hey, well, technically all hostilities have ended, so
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: I don't need your Congress's approval because I'm The War
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: Powers Act is now know and void, because hostility is doped.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: And then the President also saying that he is launching
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: a humanitarian mission to rescue the ships that are being
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 2: held hostage by Iran.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and as I mentioned, that's why I outlined the
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 7: law first. Chris, we are completely in pristine shape regarding
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 7: legality right now. We're trying to basically get ships moving.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 7: Some of these ships, Chris, have been sitting there since
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 7: the beginning of this war with no replenishment. I mean,
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 7: these crews are going nuts, and it's not their fault.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 7: And we're talking about all nationalities, all flavors. And by
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 7: the way, again the Europeans are absent as usual because
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 7: they're not participating in any substant way. But the President
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 7: is rightly saying we we the United States, are going
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 7: to go through and reopen the Strait for commerce, and
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 7: we're going to make sure we do that using an
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 7: military force that is completely detached, by the way, from
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 7: the conflict with Iran. And I do agree with he
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 7: and p Hexeti said the same thing as like, yeah,
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 7: we're done with we're done with combat operations. Now we're
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 7: in peacekeeping operations, which is essentially completely legal in what
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 7: he's doing.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, and I and I can just imagine that the
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: hair pulling from the Iranian apologists and both parties uh
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: in the Congress. The last thing I wanted to address
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: with you, and I think this is this was a
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: long time coming, and I think we're going to see
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: more of this. Five thousand troops have been removed and
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: possibly more out of Germany after after Germany has has
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: basic parted ways, let's be charitable with the United States
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: and our actions against the number one state sponsor of terrorism. Look,
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: my view is the Europe has fallen. Europe has abandoned
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: Western civilization, and I'll be damned as an American if
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 2: I'm going to finance it.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 7: What do you say, Yeah, So Germany is on a
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 7: death spiral by its own making regarding economics. It basically
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 7: refuses to accept Russian the world. It is what it is.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 7: I'm not here to judge yes or no, if that's
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 7: good or bad, but it is what it is. And
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 7: they've taken and shut down all the negative plants, which,
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 7: as a guy who's got a degree environmental studies, that
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 7: is the most effective, most carbon free way of generating energy.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 7: But they got rid of that because of reasons and
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 7: their economy is now in a death spile, so it's
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 7: probably good we're detaching. With that said, regarding troops, Chris Poland,
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 7: if I were the president, I would publicly move the
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 7: Fifth Core, which is currently based in Wiesbaden, Germany, move
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 7: it forward to Poland. I mean, you kill two birds
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 7: with one stone. You lead Germany, you put our troops
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 7: in a place where they could be more effective, and
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 7: the turning the Russians. If that's an objective, which it is,
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 7: so let's do it. And the Poles love us, we
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 7: love them, they love us. Why would we want to
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 7: economically benefit Germany with all of the money we bring
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 7: in from our deployments and from our forward bases there
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 7: when Poland, a better ally, could benefit from it. So
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 7: I'm all for shutting down ninety percent of what we
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 7: have in Germany and just moving things forward. I think
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 7: that'll benefit those who deserve it, the Poles, and it'll
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 7: defund I mean, I don't think the Germans fully understand, Chris.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 7: So much money comes into their economy from our presence there,
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 7: and I think they're going to learn a very hard win.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're they're about ready to find out, all right,
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: Tony Schaeffer. Colonel Tony Shaeffer, thank you very much, Buddy,

• 1:33:06
  Speaker 2: Chris Alcedo sitting in I am your liberty loving Latino.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 2: Do not confuse me. With loudmouth leftist Latinos out there.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: I actually do love my country, whereas it is demonstrably provable, folks,
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: they do not love this country. Daily excursion we do here,
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: folks into critical thinking. My job is to dismantle the left,
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: dismantle their arguments, and make sure the audience that I
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 2: am speaking to addressing is the most informed out there.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 2: That's what I try to do. Now, you know, folks,
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: as you could tell, Todd Starns and I have different
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: styles but the same commitment. Todd Starns is a guy
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 2: that somebody likes me like me, goes to to feel
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: better about everything, and his eternal optimism is contagious. I know,
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm not. I just telling you, folks something
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 2: you don't already know. So you know, I kind of
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: came into today's show not knowing what was going on.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 2: I just thought it was that Todd needed a covered day.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 2: I had no idea who was facing a real health scare.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: When I say real, folks, listen to this account put
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: out by Todd. He wanted me to make sure that
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: I kept you all entertained. But I wanted to make
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 2: sure that you folks knew what was going on with him,
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 2: because a lot of you do monetary as social media
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: posts and are concerned. And so this is the update
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 2: he gave two days ago, and then I'll give you
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: one that he just did a couple hours ago or
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 2: half a day ago. Dear friends, I thought it was
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 2: the best way to update you on the events of
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: the past few days. Last weekend, while I was exercising
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: it Shelby Farms, I noticed I was having difficulty breathing.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: I had to stop every fifty feet to catch my breath.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 2: On Monday, it was even difficult to get out complete
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 2: sentences during the radio show, and that evening my blood
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: pressure spiked to two hundred over one oh seven. My
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 2: cardiologists sent me directly to Baptist East and they have
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: done an incredible job diagnosing the problem. Many of you
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: know that twenty six years ago I had open heart
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 2: surgery to install a mechanical aortic valve, and in two
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: thousand and seven I had a stroke. It's been a
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 2: bit of a difficult journey. The team at Baptist East
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 2: discovered I had a widow maker nearly ninety percent blockage
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: in one of my arteries. They were able to fix
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 2: what could have been a disastrous problem. I simply can't
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 2: say enough great things about the staff at East Baptist.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 2: They have gone out of their way to make me
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 2: feel comfortable and provide daily encouragement. My church family has
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: been so kind, as well as the team at KWAM
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 2: and of course the real Housewives of Germantown. Deter You
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: made me laugh and I greatly appreciate that. Dalton a
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 2: good man, just a good good man. I hoped to
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: come back home and eventually back on the radio and TV,
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 2: but for now I'm going to enjoy some bed rest.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 2: One final note, if a nurse ever comes into your
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: room with a razor and a grin and she tells
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: you at spot A, don't believe her. I'm going to
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 2: need a therapist and a six pack of doctor Pepper
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 2: to overcome body shaving, Folks, just for that indignity alone,
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 2: you'd want to avoid health issues. And this was the
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 2: update folks, a half a day ago from Todd. I'm
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 2: glad to get back home and I can't thank my cardiologist,
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 2: the team at Stern and phenomenal cardiac team at Baptist
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 2: East for getting me back on my feet. We are
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 2: truly blessed with some of the finest medical personnel in
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 2: the nation right here in the mid South. My cardiologist
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 2: called me tonight and reiterated how fortunate I am. A
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: ninety percent blockage of the main artery, and I must
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 2: tell you that I'm taking some time to get my
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 2: head wrapped around the events in the past few days.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 2: I'm just so blessed to be surrounded by my precious
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: family and my sweet friends, my church family went above
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: and beyond, and my family at KWAM and the national
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 2: radio show just taking charge with Dylan at the Helm.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: I had my first outing earlier today to drive to
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: Kroger to get some baby aspirin. I feel like I
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 2: ran a marathon. It's going to take a little time
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: to get back on my feet, but I will be
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: on my way. In the meantime, a few guest hosts
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 2: will be taking over. Also, as a journalist, I always
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 2: believe in correcting errors at the source, and I do
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: want to apologize for telling you that gravy was actually
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 2: healthy for you. It turns out sausage gravy is not
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 2: a lubricant for your arteries. After all, my apologies. I
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 2: long for the day when I can relax in the
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 2: sun and drink a doctor pepper. So that's the update
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: from Todd, Folks on the mend, probably listening to the
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: show as he's sitting back, and hopefully I was keeping
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 2: him up enough, engaged enough to where he wasn't to
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: nodding off to sleep. That's kind of my kind of
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 2: my job. So folks, uh, that's the update on Todd.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 2: If you want to call in let me know, send
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 2: your well wishes to Todd and his family and wish
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 2: him a speedy recovery and back behind the mic and
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: back on television as soon as humanly possible. Please call
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 2: nine zero one two six zero fifty nine to twenty
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: six nine zero one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 2: The meantime, I thought we would highlight some of the
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 2: good things going on out there. I mean President Trump,
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: what he's doing with Iran, I think is going to
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 2: be is going to be consequential the future for the
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: United States of America, no future president, no Congress, we'll
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 2: have to factor in defense and battle plans for a
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: an Islamic dominated, g hottest dominated Iran. And I think
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 2: that's going to try transform not only the Middle East,
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 2: but transform America and what we have to contend with
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 2: moving forward, taking away communists, China's playthings kind of like that,
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: kind of like it. So there's one positive thing. We
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 2: mentioned this and I think we haven't given it its due.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: This is Governor Ron De Santis in the Great State
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 2: of Florida. He has signed into law the new jerrymandered districts.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: The gerrymandered districts in Florida have increased the Republican possibilities
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 2: to the factor of four, which may help blunt all
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 2: of John Thune's efforts to turn over the United States
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 2: Congress back to communists and socialists, who, by the way,
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: have pledged they're going to nuke the filibuster, and John
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: Thune is okay with that. John Thune says, if the
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: Democrats want to nuke the filibuster, I'm fine with it.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 2: And when they knew the filibuster, they're going to implement
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 2: policies they make sure they never lose power ever. Again.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: John Thune is fine with it. And John Thune will
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 2: not be leading the fight against the Democrats in any
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: real and substantive way. Let me give you an example
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: what I mean by that. The last four years before
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: Trump took over the last four years under the last
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: Democrat regime, President Auto Pen they opened up the borders, folks,
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 2: They opened up the borders, flooded this country with over
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: fifteen million criminal illegal aliens land Seaonaire. The Democrats complained
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 2: that the Republicans weren't voting with them, and the Republicans
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: complained too. They complained saying it's not lawful for what
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 2: you're doing. But for all of the Republicans complaining, did
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 2: they stop one criminal illegal alien from getting into the
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 2: United States? Not one. And that's what the Republicans will do.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 2: They will go back and they will complain, and they
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 2: will fundraise, and they will do absolutely nothing of substance
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 2: in the minority to stand in the Democrats' way as
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 2: they work to harm you and your family, as they
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 2: have squandered. And this was the entire run the clock
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 2: out strategy. We in Texas know this very well. You
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 2: people in North Carolina know it very well. The Republicans
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 2: who dominate your legislature, they run out the clock so
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 2: the good conservative legislation doesn't get a hearing. And then
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 2: at the end of every legislative session they say, oh,
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 2: we just plum run out of time. Right now, John
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 2: Thune is saying, sorry, folks, we'd love to do the
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 2: same America Act. We're just plumb run out of time.
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 2: Remember they passed the big beautiful bill last June, and
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: they've done nothing that has been pro American since. Nothing.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 2: For those of you pointing to the housing bill, that
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: was a Democrat bill. John Thuon passed a Democrat bill,
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: his good friend, the Democrats, and got enough Republicans to
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 2: sign on to it. Right. So that's what happens. When
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 2: Republicans are in charge, they turned it back over to Democrats.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 2: When Democrats are in charge, they ram through everything they can,
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 2: knowing the Republicans won't do anything extraordinary to stop them,
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 2: and who pays for all that we do? My thanks
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 2: publicly to Governor Ron DeSantis for doing what is necessary
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 2: to protect me and mine and you and yours from
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: Marxists from socialists while John Thun, Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski,
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: Tom Cotton, John Curtis, John Barasso, and the rest surrender
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: their voters to Marxists and socialists. Thank you, Thank you,
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 2: Governor DeSantis, much appreciated. Then there's this out of Los Angeles, folks,
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 2: how many of you know the names Spencer Pratt, Spencer Pratt,
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 2: actor you Spencer Pratt is running for mayor of Los Angeles, Folks.
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 2: Do you know that they still haven't even begun to
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 2: rebuild in the Palisades from that wildfire. I had a
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 2: buddy of mine who worked for a left wing radio company,
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 2: a radio company that many of you know, one of
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 2: the big, big radio companies out there, folks. He posted
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 2: a meme on his social media, didn't say it on radio,
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 2: posted on social media. It said, in Los Angeles, they've
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 2: got fifty seven different genders, but only zero working fire hydrants.
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 2: And because of that joke, he was fired from a
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 2: so called free speech radio company. Think about that. This
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 2: radio company, folks, has conservative talk stations on it, and
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 2: they fired a conservative talk show host for posting a
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 2: joke that said fifty seven different genders, no working fire
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 2: hydrants in Los Angeles. That's how much they're dedicated to
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 2: free speech, which means they're not so the Democrats who
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 2: run the People's Republic of California, they have decided that
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 2: they want to allow some big money to buyers to
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 2: come in and swoop in and buy up all that property.
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 2: Some are rumored to be from Communist China folks to
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 2: buy some of that prime real estate. And I don't
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: think anybody's going to reelect Karen Bass. I mean, this
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 2: woman allows dogs to be used on skid row in
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles. All the bums, all the all the druggies,
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 2: all the junkies. They have these dogs in kennels and
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 2: they and they inject them full of their drugs to
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 2: make sure it's not laced with Communist China's fentanyl. Right,
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 2: and if the dog dies, oh that's a bad batch.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 2: But if the dog lives and just gets all whacked
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 2: out on drugs, then the junkies can shoot up. That's
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 2: happening right now. All of you Democrats out there who
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 2: claim the love animals, Yeah, sure you do. AnyWho, the
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 2: race for mayor is heating up. Here's Spencer Pratt. Now
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 2: he's gonna be saying this in front of his trailer.
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 2: He lives in a trailer because his house was burned
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 2: down courtesy of democrat and competence. Listen, this is where
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 2: Mayor vass lives.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 3: You notice something or here where Nikkia Ramin's three.
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 2: Million dollar mansion sits. They don't have to live in
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: the mess they've created. Where you live. This is where
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 2: I live. They let my home burn down.
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 3: I know what the consequences of failed leadership are. That's
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 3: why I'm running for mayor for my sons and the
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 3: rest of US Angelinos. That would have stopped these corrupt
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 3: politicians from destroying our city.

  Speaker 2: We are gonna get the Golden.
• 1:46:09

  Speaker 2: on a minute, Shirley Shirley is calling on nine to
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: twenty am in Houston, Texas. Shirley, welcome Yellow Shirley. Can
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 2: you hear me?
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 11: Hi?
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, go ahead, man, What do you got?
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 12: I I had the ballot for the runoff here in Texas, Houston, Texas.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 12: I'm not familiar with any of these judges like Frankfurt, Gibson,
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 12: Fox or Smith, and I just don't vote for just
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 12: anybody because I don't know them, right. I'm what I'm
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 12: looking for these judges. I'm looking for a hardball hitter,
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 12: not a softball hitter. Judge, Now, could you give me
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 12: some pointers?
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 2: Well, surely I can tell you how who I now?
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 2: One of the judges that you mentioned in the runoff
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 2: on May twenty sixth in Texas, it's placed three. One
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 2: of these judges races placed three on the Texas Court
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 2: of Criminal Appeals. The Court of Criminal Appeals is a
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 2: big court. It's a biggie and you've got Alison Fox
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 2: up against Thomas Smith. And my impression of Alison Fox,
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 2: she's a disaster and a disaster waiting to happen. So
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 2: if it were me, who I if I'm going to
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 2: be voting in that runoff, which I am, Thomas Smith
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 2: is going to get my vote. He's an assistant Attorney
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 2: General inside of Ken Paxton's office. He's going to get
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 2: bring the proper temperament and with very little tolerance pro
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 2: of pro criminal leftists, very little tolerance. Good.
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 12: Well, what about Gibson and Frankfurt?
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those ones I'm not familiar, quite familiar with, and
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 2: I'm not even sure what positions they're running for. Do
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 2: you know?
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 12: Would do you repeat that my hearing is not that good?
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 2: L Sado, Yes, yes, I understand, Shirley. I'm just asking
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 2: those other judges you mentioned, do you know what positions
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 2: they're running for, which judges or which courts they're running for,
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 2: Because here.
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 12: It's the the first Court of Appeals district place three.
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 2: Right right, that's yeah. The Criminal Court of Appeals, surely
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 2: I would go. This is who I'm going with, Thomas Smith.
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 2: I'm going with Thomas Smith. I think that mister Smith
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 2: has the right temperament. Again, he comes from the Attorney
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 2: General's office, and he has learned under Ken Paxton, the
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 2: most conservative attorney general in these once United States. So
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 2: that's where i'd go. The other ones that they weren't
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 2: familiar to me, so you may have to do a
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 2: little that they may be local judges in your particular jurisdiction,
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 2: so you have to do a little little investigating on
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 2: your own there, lady. Okay, but I can definitely tell
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 2: you the Criminal Court of Appeals, folks, it was the
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 2: Criminal Court of Appeals that that ruled that Ken Paxton,
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 2: the Attorney General, could not prosecute voter fraud, believe believe
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 2: and from Texas, believe it or not. So you gotta
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 2: choose right on the Criminal Court of Appeals, you know,
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 2: get choose lawful. Let me put it that way, all right, folks.
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 2: Chris Salcedo out for the day. Say your prayers for
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 2: our buddy Todd Starns. Okay, Praise God, Who's gonna be
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 2: back in front of the microphone very soon. Catch you
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 2: next time.
