  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: America's favorite gun, total Bible clinging, deplorable America.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: That's us.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Love this American.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Todd start well and hello everybody. Welcome to the Todd
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Starns Radio Show. Great to have you with us today.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Bordered to border, coast to coast, across the fruited playing
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: and a lot of a lot of big stories that
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: we're going to be talking about today. Of course, we've
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: got Josh Jones standing by our official chief Washington correspondent,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: and he'll be with us in just a little while
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: to talk about what happened in Virginia last night. Another
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: major story breaking though, and this is this is really
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: just what I suspect to be that just the tip
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: of the iceberg when it comes to what the deep
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: state has been doing to conservatives, to evangelical Christians across
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: this nation for a very long time. And you know,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: we've talked about this quite a bit on the program,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: that there's just something off about For example, whatever happened
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: on January the sixth, there was just something off about it,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: and the fact that the government at the time would
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: not answer very simple questions how many FBI agents were there,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: what was their involvement in all of the things that happened.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Then you have the Southern Poverty Law Center, which for
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: decades has been advancing this a very bizarre notion that
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: we are in the middle of race wars. And of
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: course there was Charlottesville, and that was just all weird.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: You had the guys marching around in the khaki pants
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: and the sunglasses and the the you know, the the
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: masks and all that kind of stuff. It's just all
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: very weird and you just couldn't put your on it,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: but you knew something was off. Well, now we know
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: that at least when it comes to the Southern Poverty
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Law Center, that instead of just attacking racism in America,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: they were actually sponsoring it. This is insane. The Justice
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Department yesterday announcing an eleven count indictment accusing the Southern
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Poverty Law Center of fraud. And this organization has for
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: years they have slandered Christian groups from the Family Research Council,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Turning Point USA, Moms for Liberty, they created a hate map,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: and they created a very dangerous environment in this country
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: for people of faith. One of the groups that really
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: suffered as a result of what the SPLC was up
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: to is Family Research Council, and the president of FRC
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: is on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line today, Tony Perkins. Tony,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I know you're a busy guy and you had to
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: shuffle around things to hop on the show today, So
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: thank you for doing that. And I want to get
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: your reaction to the Justice Department's announcement yesterday.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Well, Todd, it's it was good to hear, long incoming,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: but I'm grateful for the Trump administration of the Department
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: of Justice. There actually looking into an entity that kind of,
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: as you alluded to, has actually been a partner with
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: the Department of Justice in times past and previous administrations.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: They've actually been sitting at the table plotting out their
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: attacks on Catholics, on Christians, on pro lifers, and now
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: it's being exposed. I mean, as you're pointing out what
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: as reading through this indictment, and I think there's going
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: to be more that comes from this they as they
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: delve deeper. I actually have been in conversations with the
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: FBI over the last year as they were doing this investigation,
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: as they were trying to find out more about how
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: they operated, how they targeted us, what they did to us,
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: the effects of that. But you know, the Southern Private
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Law Center has been out there saying, oh, there's all
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: of these threats, these hate groups, and you know, it's
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: we're at risk. Well, now we come to find out
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: that they've been paying it. It's like they've been paying
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: the fox that's been attacking the chickens. They are the
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: ones that are behind this. And again, I'm hopeful that
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: this is going to expose more of what's been happening
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: within this corrupt organization. But Todd, remember they're sitting on
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: about seven hundred and fifty dollars of endowments. Much of
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: that is offshore in a bank account. So I'm hopeful
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: and prayerful that not only will we see some of
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: their leaders go to jail for this criminal activity, but
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: I hope this organization is wrecked. I hope that I'd
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: like to see civil suits against them forcing them to
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: pay restitution for the damage that they've done, so that
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: there's nothing left of the Southern Poverty Law Center when
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: this is over.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Tony. I'm with you one thousand sent there. I mean,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: there has to be a price paid, and it has
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to be a heavy price. And I go back to
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: the incident. You guys were the victims of a domestic
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: terrorist attack, and the attacker actually used the Southern Poverty
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Law Center materials to actually hunt you guys down.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so there was no surprise. There was no surprise
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: that I had a gunman come into our building, Floyd Cortpan's,
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: with one hundred rounds of ammunition, shot one of our
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: people attempting to get to me. He was going to
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: kill as many as he could. He had fifteen Chick
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: fil A sandwiches with him in his backpack that he
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: was going to stuff into our mouths after he shot us.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: I was here in the building, was down in the
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: lobby as quickly as possible. He had already been subdued.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: The police were on the scene, and I went out
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: actually talked to the FBI. We watched the surveillance film,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: and I knew. I knew that this was the work
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: of the Southern Poverty Law Center because we'd communicated with
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: him asking them to take us down off their hate man,
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: knowing that this is putting us at risk. Next day,
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: I went out held a press conference in front of
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: our building on the street here at DC and set
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: that this is the work of the family the Southern
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Popular Law Center targeting the Family Research Council. Of course
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: the media mocked it, and they and others said, well
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: in his confession, cork and Set, yes, I used the
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Southern Popular Law Center's material to target the Family Research Council.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: And of course we know that that's continued. They left
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: us up on the map. Not only did it leave
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: us up, they started to add other conservative organizations. They
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: targeted Charlie Kirk turning point. So they are complicit in
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: the violent acts that have created dangerous environments, even taking
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: the lives of individuals. In fact, they were They helped
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: radicalize the shooter that went after my former colleague Steve Scalise,
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: who I served in office with from Louisiana at the
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: ball field. I remember that a few years back where
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: the shooter went out, he had been visiting the Southern
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Property Law Center website. So they are connected todd to
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: a lot of violent act criminal activity, and I hope,
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: I hope the Department of Justice, the FBI really gets
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: to the bottom of how corrupt and dangerous this organization is.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: And Tony, one of the things that you know, and
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: it's easy for a lot of talk show hosts sort
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: of delve into the whole conspiracy stuff, and I, you know,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: we try to avoid all of that. I mean, I
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: will say if something seems weird or often, you know,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: we'll wait for more information to come out. But when
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I was reading this indictment, which I was surprised this
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: is not very long, about fourteen pages, I was stunned,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: stunned to see the reporting about the allegations about the
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Charlottesville ryot because that ultimately led to I think that's
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: one of the reasons why Joe Biden got elected, is
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: because they made that the national campaign issue. And now
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: we know at least the allegations in the indictment that
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: the Southern Poverty Law Center was.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Funding that, right, So you wonder who else knew about that? Yeah,
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: what's I mean? They were They were connected to the
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Department of Justice in various administrations, the Biden administration, the
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Obama administration was a Democratic party working with him. You know,
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: what are the other connections? Was this a coordinated effort?
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Is this a criminal conspiracy? You know again, I think
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: this may just be the tip of the iceberg.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: When and I know, Dan Bongino yesterday was pointing out that,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: you know, there were a lot of really shocking allegations
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: levied by The Atlantic against FBI director Cash Battel last week,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: and Patel has now sued final multimillion dollar lawsuit says
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: none of it is true. And Bongino seems to think
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: that a lot that the reason why that story came
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: out was to smear Bongino in advance of what all
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: is going to come out. And of course, now we
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: know about the SPLC, I'm with you, I do wonder
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: what else is, what else they've uncovered.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Well, it's been a coordinated effort from the start. So
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: the Southern Propaty Law Center has not acted in a vacuum.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: As you pointed out, we were like the first conservative
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: Christian organization targeted by the Southern Popular Law Center about
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: almost fifteen years ago. Part of that is because we
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: were in the media. We were discussing the issues of
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: primarily the driving issue was the issue of human sexuality,
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: the redefinition of marriage. It's a transgender issue. We were
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: out there with our research and we were discussing and
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: so they wanted to take us off of the media.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: They wanted to knock us out of the media, the
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: first one they went after. Interestingly enough, I used to
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: be on MSNBC regularly with Chris Matthews on Hardball. Once
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: they labeled us as a hate group that was taken
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: to SPO or taken to MSNBC to remove a from
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: the air. And so they're not doing this in a vacuum.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: They're doing it in a coordinated fashion. And that was
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: part of my conversation with the FBI. I'm hopeful that
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: they will see this web of conspiracy that has taken
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: place on the left and how the SPLC well funded,
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: again sitting on seven hundred fifty million dollars, how they
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: were used as the attack dog from the left to
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: discredit many of the effective voices on the right. Again,
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: that's why they were targeting Charlie Kirk. Those voices that
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: are effective on halting the left's agenda. Is who the
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: SPLC focused on, Tony.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Do we know if there are any criminal charges attached
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: to this, I mean, well, you know, I didn't see
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: any names. I just saw the organization's name.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Well, I think that's going to be forthcoming. It's going
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: to be interesting to see what is coming next in this.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: So I think this is the first wave of what
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: we may see occurring. And I'll notice it's interesting that
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: this spans a long period of time. I mean, this
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: goes back to the eighties, but it carries all the
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: way up to recent years, just a couple of years ago.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: So it'll be interesting if they go after the leadership
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: past and present. Not certain, but I feel pretty confident
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: that this is not the end of it.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: I hope it's not the end of it, and I'm
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: almost I'm a little concerned honestly, when people you know,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: if in fact it is as bad as we think
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: it is. I mean, this really does raise a lot
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: of questions about what's been happening in this country over
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: the past at least fifteen or twenty years.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Well, and again, they had cover. They were sitting at
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: the table during the Obama administration and the Biden administration.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, they were utilizing the information from the Southern
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Property Law Center to craft their targets. We know what
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: they were, how they targeted and traded Catholic churches. Now
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: it's interesting, you know when we look at how they
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: used informants and they funded them and sent them in. Well,
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: I wonder how closely aligned they worked with previous administrations
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: as they targeted certain Catholic elements of the Catholic Church.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: So again, I think Todd, this is probably just the
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: tip of the iceberg. I'm hopeful that in the process
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: of discovery that we're going to find out even more
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: information about the Southern Poverty Law Center, and I'm hopeful
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: that it's going to lead to even more charges. But
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: at the end of the day, when you look at
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: this organization, what it's done historically, and again the money
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: that it has, I'm hopeful that it's not going to
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: be left intact to continue or pick right back up
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: when the next corrupt administration comes in, but that they
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: will be gone.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: All right, Tony, We've got to leave it there. I mean,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: so much more to talk about, but this is a step,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: a very good step in the right direction and to
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: writing a lot of wrongs that have been done to
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: a lot of people. Tony, thank you so much, and
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I know you'll be talking about this, I'm sure on
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: your show later today we will.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: We will thank you. Don Or great to talk with you.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Likewise, Tony Perkins, everybody good man there, Family Research Council
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: and you heard, you heard how they did FRC and
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: they did yours truly the exact same way. And when
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: I was at Fox News Channel, a lot of these
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: far left groups all got together and they targeted me
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: because I was the network's number one columnist and of
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: course we had a pretty massive voice on the radio
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: at that time too, So they they did their gut
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: level best to come after me and paint me as
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: a homophobic, bigot, a racist. And it was the same
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: it was the same em they used against Cash Ptent. Well,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: they used the Atlantic magazine. Well that's what they did
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: for me. To me, they used MSNBC. You heard what
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: happened with Tony Perkins there, same thing happened there Where
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: MSNBC they had a senior producer in charge of the
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: National Hispanic Journalism Association, and they wanted my head on
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: a stick because I was the first guy to announce
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: that what was happening at the border was in fact
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: an illegal alien invasion and all you know what proclus
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: and of course at that point and they hit me
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: three separate times, and it was the last time when
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Fox decided to end my contract or not renew my contract.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: So these are very very evil people. And I'm with
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Tony Perkins. They belong in jail. And I do wonder
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: how involved the Obama and Biden administrations were in plotting
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: and planning a lot of these attacks. Understand this, ladies
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen. All the things that we thought were conspiracy
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: theories are beginning to turn out to be true. And
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: so now we have to step back and we have
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: to look at everything in the context of what if,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: in fact, all of these conspiracy theories are true. Now
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: do you want to understand why Donald Trump is so
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: enraged over all of this? All right, we got to
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: take a break. Nine oh one two six zero five
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: nine two six. This is the Todd Sterns Show. Hi,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: this is Todd Sterns. And you don't have a weight problem.

• 15:39

• 15:41
  Speaker 2: The golp one drugs, they're exploding in popularity and for
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: some well you know what. They're a useful tool, but
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: they don't address why your body started storing fat in
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: the first place. At PhD weight loss, they treat unwanted
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: weight as a symptom, a signal that your metabolism, hormones
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: and stress response need attention. And when those get corrected, well,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: the weight comes off naturally and it stays off. They're
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: not just helping you lose weight, They're helping you increase
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: health span and extend longevity. Now I've lost a good
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: number of pounds with PhD Weight Loss and it's still
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: coming off right now. I want you to call PhD
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Weight Loss and mention Sterns. You'll get two weeks free
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: in the program and they're going to pay for your food.

  Speaker 2: That's a fifteen hundred dollars value, completely free. Call eight
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: sixty four sixty four four nineteen hundred now mention Sterns.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: That's eight sixty four sixty four four nineteen hundred, or
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: go to myphdeweightloss dot com. All right, welcome back to
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: the Ton Stearns Radio Show. And again, ladies and gentlemen,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: to put a bow on this Southern Poverty Loss Center thing.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: They made our lives so miserable, and I just I
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: would not wish what they did to me personally on anybody.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: It was just a horrible thing to go through. The
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: good news is that you know what, good always always
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: wins at the end of the day, and these people
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: are evil and they're going to get what's coming to them.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: They deserve jail time for what they did. And quite frankly,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: if they were in fact complicit, if they were complicit
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: in all of this, well the reality is they should
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: be facing charges, big time charges, especially when it came
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: to Charlottesville. But if you remember what Joe Biden said
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: at the time, and again, the Democrats made Charlottesville the
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: big issue of that political season, and they completely took
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: President Trump's comments out of out of context. It was
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Kamala Harris who accused Trump of coddling the white supremacist
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: cut twenty four.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: Let's remember Charlottesville where there was a mob of people
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: carrying tiki torches spewing anti Semitic hate, and what did
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: the president then at the time say, there were fine
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: people on each side.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Well, that's that's Kamala Harris. And it turns out the
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Democrats and Tony Perkins is right, what ties did the
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: SPLC have with Joe Biden and with Barack Hussein Obama?
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: And that goes back to j six again, ladies and
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: gentlemen where it appears. And if look, if these Democrats
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: are going to be staging these these fake hate rallies
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: out there, you don't think they could they could stage
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: what happened at the US Capitol and make it look
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: the way it appeared. I don't know about that. I'm
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: telling you. I you just wait if if what the if,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: if what Bongino and the others are saying is true,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: then and we're going to have a pretty rocky road
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: here over the next couple of months as all of
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: this begins to come out. But it certainly appears as
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: our own government has been weaponized against us. That's what
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: it looks like. All right, coming up, we've got to
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: talk about what happened in Virginia last night. My goodness,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: a lot of outrage and rightfully so, all right, folks,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: got to take a break. This is the Todd Stearns Show,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: and welcome back to the Tod Serns Radio Show. And
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: this message for all of our stations down the line.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: We want to apologize dealing with a tech issue with
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: our satellite provider, So our apologies there and our team
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: is furiously working with Westwood One to get all of
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: that worked out, So bear with us, all right. Nine
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five, nine two six is
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: five to nine two six. I want to go real
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: quick to Little Rock, Arkansas. Steve is listening to us
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: this morning. Wants to weigh on the Southern Poverty Law Center. Hi, Steve,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: what's going on?
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: Thank god? Wein talks about this before. And this gets
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: back to a whole lot of the things that we
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: just can't figure out where the money's coming from to
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: make all this happen like this, twelve to twenty million
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: illegals that came in through the bad administration. I believe
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: that if there was some way to really follow the
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: money and track all this down, we'd find out that
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: the vocal this is being done with our tax dollars.
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: You look at the infrastructure build that they passed in
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: twenty one under the Biden administration. His big thing that
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: was one point two trillion dollars that were set aside
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: for all these infrastructure projects. How many of the do
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: you hear about on the knees.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: It's it's a great point, where in the heck.
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: Is this one point two trillion dollars going or gone?
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: Is it already gone? Is it half gone? We've got
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: to come up with a way to quit handing them
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: a big piggy bank and letting them just bust it
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: open and never be accountable for where any of it goes.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: You know, Steve, one of the issues I have with
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: all the NGOs, it's a fair point. It's if you
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: remember back in the day when you know, the Pentagon,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: they were doing all the investigation some on Pentagon spending
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: and they're like, well, you know, why are we spending
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: twelve million dollars on a screwdriver? You know, well, obviously
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: clearly we weren't. That money was not going to buy
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: a screwdriver. There was something else going on there. And
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: I can promise you that a lot of this grift
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: and a lot of these radical organizations are being funded,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: as you know, through those NGOs that again Elon Musk
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: and his DOGE team were doing such a great job
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: of exposing.
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: Great point, why does that have to be Why did
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: it have to be shut down?
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: Steve?
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: That was for me, that was one of the most
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: important government agencies we had, and that was one of
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: the most important missions of the Trump administration is to
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: expose all of the grift and corruption.
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: But how hard did Republicans really fight to keep that going?
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a fair point, and you know, you know
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: with the reason why, Steve.
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, they're good, they're good. I get their hand
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: in peggybag too.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: That's right, everybody's got their hand in the picky bank.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: By the way, to that point, I want you to
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: hear this, Steve. So, there was a state hearing in
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: California and they discovered that, you know, they've been spending
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: just about all of the money going for hospice care
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: is going to the Los Angeles County area for the
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: entire nation. And they actually discovered a burrito stand masquerading
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: as a hospice care facility. Take a listen.
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: You'd be amazed at how many hospices the door you
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: can walk up to in California and there is nobody there.
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: There is five months worth of mail that you can
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: see stacked up from CMS and nobody's there. And that
• 23:35
  Speaker 8: passed a survey. How did that happen? How do you
• 23:38
  Speaker 8: put a hospice in a burrito stand in California? How
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: do you put a hospice in a tire store in
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: California that all had to be vetted through licensure and
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: through certification and accreditation.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: That is Sheila Clark, who is the president of the
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: California Hospice Care Association, and again exposing the the significance
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: of the of the corruption they're in California.
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: Steve, Oh, yeah, it's it's uh. I don't know. You've
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: heard the term too big to fail. Maybe this is
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: too big.
• 24:18
  Speaker 9: To correct all.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Maybe, but Steve, we got to try. We just have
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: to try. Steve, thank you for the call. Nine oh
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: one two six zeros five nine two six. That's nine
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five to nine two six.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about what happened in Virginia yesterday.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: And I know a lot of you are very frustrated
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: and very angry, and rightfully so. And I just I
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: have a very simple question to ask, and I have
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: a solution here. And because on this program we are
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: all about solutions, and I believe that we there is
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: a way forward out of what happened in Virginia yesterday.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: So the good here is that the Virginia voters came
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: out in force. I mean, when you look at the numbers,
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: the vote totals. The vote totals were very very close.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: I mean they were expecting a landslide victory yesterday and
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: they nearly got upset talking about the Democrats. So the
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: voters of the voters of Virginia are not to blame
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: for what happened here. And I want to explain why,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: because if we are going to assign blame, we have
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: to assign blame to the Republican Party. And here's my
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: takeaway out of what just happened in Virginia. At this
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: very moment in time, Republicans are not serious about the
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: midterm elections. They're just not. Lawmakers are going back on
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: their campaign promises. We've been following what's been happening in
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: the Senate, where you had the majority leader who is
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: literally blocking President Trump's America First agenda. For the first
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: time in modern political history, you have the Senate majority
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: leader refusing to adjourn the Senate, blocking President Trump from
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: making recess appointments. The Republican National Committee, the RNC, has
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: been neutered. Grassroots conservatives are literally being marginalized by state
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: and local parties. And I have seen this firsthand, up
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: close and personal in Memphis, where I live and it's
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: an ugly thing what they're doing to the grassroots conservatives.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: And then they're turning around. Party leadership turns around and like, well,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: we can't get anybody to help us. Nobody wants to
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: work in our tents, and nobody wants to knock on doors.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Why aren't people wanting to help because you're kicking them
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: out of the party. And voter anger, ladies and gentlemen
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: is at an all time high. And the voters are
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: not to blame. They did what they were supposed to do.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: And quite frank, had it not been for the surge
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: at the polls, the redistricting plan might have won in
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: a landslide. But as of now, it's about a three
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: point margin, and unfortunately, we're going to have at least
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: we're going to lose at least four congressional seats in
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: the Commonwealth of Virginia. Voters have officially been disenfranchised. But again,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: what happened in Virginia's on party leadership, and that starts,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: by the way, at the White House. Where was the
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: White House yesterday? There was no sense of urgency. Where
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: was President Trump all this week urging people to get
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: out there and get out to the polls and vote
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: and save the House of Representatives. And by the way,
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: the RNC invested zero dollars, zero dollars in the fight.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, this should have been all hands on deck fight.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: But it appears the GOP, at least when it came
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: to Virginia, decided to be hands off. Democrats, what did
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: they do. They hauled in Barack Obama, They recruited the
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: big guns. They invested more than fifty six million dollars.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Republican groups spent about twenty million dollars. All of this
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: is from the New York Times, you can look it up.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Box News says the number is more is closer to
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: twenty million dollars. But the Republicans did nothing. We heard
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: this yesterday. Kelly Sadler was talking about how every other
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: AD was a Barack Obama ad. Republicans did nothing. Congressman
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Richard Hudson, is chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: put out a statement saying, Virginia Democrats can't readaw reality.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Well they did, sir, they did. The congressman said, the
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: close margin reinforces that Virginia is a purple state that
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: should not be represented by a severe partisan Jerrymander. Then
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: why did you guys not do anything? Why It's not
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: like this was a surprise election, right, Virginia House might
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: already leader Terry Kilgore, so the results were not unexpected.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: And he blamed the misleaning language on the ballot and
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: he also said the massing massive spending advantage. Again, sir,
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: these were all issues that could have been addressed early
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: on in the process. I can't tell you how many.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: It wasn't until the past couple of weeks that the
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Republicans finally figured out that their entire campaign messaging should
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: be vote no at the ballot box. It doesn't matter
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: how the statement reads, vote no. That's what you do.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Vote no. And they did a good job of that,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: but it may have been too little, too late, and
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: especially with early voting. But I'm telling you, and if
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: I'm seeing this wrong, I want you to call and
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: read me the Riot Act. But the way I see it,
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Republicans just seem uninterested in remaining in control of Congress.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: And it's almost as if they just want to throw
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: the election. I mean, when you look at and I
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: just give this as an example, I'm very engaged in
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: our local political scene here, and it's just jaw dropping
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: how little the Republicans are doing. It's just shocking. I think.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: To be able to win, or at least be competitive
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: in the mayor's race, you've got to have at least
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: a half a million dollars, probably need a million dollars
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: in the bank. And the Republican candidate I don't even
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: think has fifty grand. What's going on there? All that
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: to say, there's still time to turn the ship around.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: But I'm telling you, the entire party apparatus needs to
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: come to Jesus meeting and we got to refocus on
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: what matters here. And I think one of the big
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: problems is that we are focusing too much on other
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: countries and not our own country. It is America. First.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: I want to see the deportations and I want to
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: know exactly how many. Look, we need a weekly running
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: total of how many people have been deported out of
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: this country. We need to start seeing the schools defunded
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: for disobeying orders on transgenderism. We need to see the
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: universities punished for being anti Semitic and anti Christian. But
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: one of the things that I'm going to recommend here
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: and This is our starting point, is that Republicans need
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: to engage in the fight in every single state, and
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: if your state still has the opportunity to Jerry Mander,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: you need to do it. Do unto the Democrats as
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: they have done to you. That is what the political
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Bible says, do unto the Democrats as they have done
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: unto you. And any Republican who stands in the way
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: of the President's agenda, they've got to face primary opposition.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: I don't care who they are enough, this is not
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: the time for cowards. It is time for real men
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: and real women of courage with backbones and balls of steel.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: And I want to put a pin in this for
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: just a second here, but I know we gotta go
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: to break. Politics is not afternoon tea at the country club.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: It is a street fight. And the Democrats they're showing
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: up to the fight. They got the leather jackets, they
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: got the numb chucks, they got the baseball bats. Republicans
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: are showing up in seersucker suits, notching on cucumber sandwiches. So,
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: in the words of Barack Hussein Obama, if they bring
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: a knife to the fight, we bring a gun. Nine
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six hour
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero five
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: nine two six. This is the Todd Starns Show. All right,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Todd Sterns Radio Show. By the way,
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: I know a lot of you folks. If you've ever
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: driven through Memphis, you've noticed our giant pyramid, which is
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: actually the Bass Pro Shop, and apparently there is a
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: situation there. We understand Memphis Police and the National Guard
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: are investigating threats at Bass Pro Shop. We will keep
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: you updated. We don't know the nature, the full nature. Well,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: hold on, I'm as I'm saying that I just got
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: a note from the Memphis Police Department here and they
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: are working on it. So we don't have much information
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: right now, but we will keep you updated. Again. That
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: is a major tourist destination in downtown Memphis. National Guard
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: on the scene, Memphis Police on the scene as well.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: is our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. Let's go to Alan in
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Georgia WDUN. That's Bill Maine Country. We love Bill Maine.
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: Alan.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: What's going on?
• 33:56
  Speaker 10: Well, I was just listening to what you had to say. Agree.
• 34:00
  Speaker 10: I think one of the big parts of the playbook
• 34:04
  Speaker 10: for the left has always been the wag to dog,
• 34:07
  Speaker 10: and that's what they did at Charlotteville, and they do
• 34:11
  Speaker 10: it every chance they get.
• 34:13
  Speaker 11: They're crooked, we know it.
• 34:14
  Speaker 10: They'll do anything. And I think one of the problems
• 34:18
  Speaker 10: that I say too on our side of this, on
• 34:21
  Speaker 10: the Republican Party, is how people who are willing to
• 34:25
  Speaker 10: do something can't get into the election. You know, there's
• 34:30
  Speaker 10: so much about the money. It takes so much money
• 34:33
  Speaker 10: to get somebody on the ballot, and a lot of
• 34:36
  Speaker 10: times the people who get that money and get on
• 34:39
  Speaker 10: the ballot are just there self serving or else they're
• 34:42
  Speaker 10: just got plenty of money, and once they get there,
• 34:45
  Speaker 10: they just look for more money.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: That is, I mean, it's a fair thing. I mean,
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: when you look at the numbers of millionaires we have
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: up on Capitol Elam, many of them are not millionaires.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: You know, when they got elected to Congress and whatever happened,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: they started to generating lots and lots of money. I
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: think it's important to find out where that money is
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: coming from. And you know, I know a lot of
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: people favor term limits I'm not necessarily a big fan
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: of that, Alan, I believe the people ought to have
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: the right to vote for folks. But again, if the
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: fix is already in, because once those people get to
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: let you know, get in there, it's hard to get
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: them out. It's hard to dislodge them because they love
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: those big fat paychecks. But I'm really it's really amazing
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: to know that a lot of these things that people
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: call false flags are in fact being invented by Democrats.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, these are very bad people we're dealing with here.
• 35:39
  Speaker 11: Yes they are.
• 35:39
  Speaker 10: And you know, one of the things too about the
• 35:42
  Speaker 10: career politicians is when they're there, they have built these
• 35:47
  Speaker 10: friendships at home for people that help keep them there,
• 35:50
  Speaker 10: and they all work together so that they don't have
• 35:54
  Speaker 10: to interrupt that with people who want to run, who
• 35:58
  Speaker 10: don't believe like they do, who just wants to black
• 36:01
  Speaker 10: follow Trump's lead and do real conservative things. But if
• 36:04
  Speaker 10: that happens, they know they're going to lose their state
• 36:07
  Speaker 10: eventually because they can't keep get some money under the
• 36:10
  Speaker 10: table with these people there.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: It's Alan, it's a great point you raise, and thank
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: you for calling in. Let's go to Gary o'calla Florida, WOCA. Hi, Gary,
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: What's what's on your mind?
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 36:25
  Speaker 11: I was in regards to spending the GP spinning and
• 36:28
  Speaker 11: in Virginia in particular. Is it Donald Trump's daughter in
• 36:32
  Speaker 11: charge of that to determine who spends what?
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: No, not at all. No, she's she hasn't been with
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: the r n C. I think she stepped down right
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: after the election.
• 36:43
  Speaker 11: Who's doing that now?
• 36:44
  Speaker 12: May I ask?
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they've got a new RNC chair. Remember they had two.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: They had Lara, they had Laura Trump and then they
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: had Michael Wattley who is now running for the Senate
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: there in North Carolina. And so the new RNC chair.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Hold on just a second here, I'm gonna have to
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: look the guy up because he does hardly any press
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: at all. Will his name is Gruder's Joe Gruiders is
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: his name.
• 37:10
  Speaker 11: Look, my question to Donald Trump is is why don't
• 37:13
  Speaker 11: we fire this guy and replacing I mean, he's and
• 37:17
  Speaker 11: Donald's so good at doing stuff like that. Let's just
• 37:19
  Speaker 11: get rid of this meat d He's flowing the elections.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Well he is. And I'm still curious why the President
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: was not more involved in Virginia. But it was a
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: mess because from day one, it was a mess. And again,
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: I know a lot of people are blaming Texas Jerry
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: manderin you know, the Republicans in Texas for what's happening nationwide,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: but it actually all started back in twenty twenty two
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: when Democrats did an extreme Jerry mander of New York State,
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: and that's really what precipitated all of this. So, I mean,
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: it's a fair point, Gary, and it's a good question
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: to raise. Why doesn't the president just fire the head
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: of the RNC. Gary, Thanks for the call. We've got
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: to take a break. Nine oh one two six zero five,
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: nine two six. This is the Todd Starns Show, ply from.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: The Liberty University studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's common sense
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: conservative commentary from Todd Starts.
• 38:38
  Speaker 13: That's Samaritan.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: And Hello everybody. Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio program.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Great to have you with us today. By the way,
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: I want to give you an update real quick on
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: the situation in Iran, where, by the way, the President
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: Ron earlier today fired on a couple of ships the
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Iranian National Guard or Revolutionary Guard rather than seized both
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: of these ships in violation of the seasfire, which President
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: Trump last night came out and said that he was
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: going to extend the ceasefire indefinitely. There's reporting out there,
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: I believe from Fox News that that could be a
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: three to five day ceasefire. I don't know. I can't
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: tell you what the President is doing here, but I
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: will say this, and the Democrats are starting to seize
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: on this. Dick Durbin out of Illinois said that the
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: president is losing his will to do what needs to
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: be done in Iran. So it's the president is he's
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't know what he's doing. I really don't.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: I wish I could tell you, but it seems to me.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, how many ceasefires have they broken?
• 40:00
  Speaker 14: Now?
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Is that three times? They've broken the ceasefire? So again
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: it makes you, all right, So what happens now? What
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: happens in three to five days? What happens if they
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: decide to behave themselves for the next five days, we
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: agree to yet another extension of the ceasefire and then
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: they do something else and then, I mean, it could
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: be an ugly cycle. This is what this is what
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: we are all concerned about. This needs to be over
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: and done. With and it seems to me that the
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: moment Iran fired on those ships, which, by the way,
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: I thought we had destroyed their entire navy. So I
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: don't know how they got more boats, but whatever, they've
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: got more boats. But it is a it's going to
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: be a precarious situation. If this thing continues all the
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: way to the midterm elections, that will become a big problem.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: All right, our telephone number again, nine oh one two
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: six zero five, nine two six. That's nine oh one
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: two six zero five, nine two six. I want to
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: go back to Todd Blanche, the Acting Attorney General, on
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Fox last night with Laura Ingram, talking about how the
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Southern Poverty Law Center, which was supposed to be this
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: organization standing up for black people, standing up for the disenfranchised,
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: when in fact they were under the table. They were
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: paying members of the KKK and the white supremacist supremacist movement.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: And it turns out that they were one of the
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: organizers of the Unite the Right rally that turned into chaos.
• 41:32
  Speaker 12: Got twenty oh that this investigation was opened during the
• 41:35
  Speaker 12: Biden administration and then mysteriously closed. I really don't have
• 41:38
  Speaker 12: any information about why I was closed, and then we
• 41:40
  Speaker 12: started again last year. The FBI did working with the
• 41:43
  Speaker 12: US Attorney in Alabama, and it's extraordinarily agreed to.
• 41:47
  Speaker 15: You just talked about it.
• 41:48
  Speaker 12: But imagine a donor to the SPLC if they were told,
• 41:52
  Speaker 12: by the way, we're going to give the money you're
• 41:54
  Speaker 12: giving us to the ku Klux Klan okay like in
• 41:57
  Speaker 12: some cases over a million dollars. I mean, it's incredible.
• 42:00
  Speaker 16: Now they say they're no longer using these informants in
• 42:03
  Speaker 16: this way, and that it was necessary because they had
• 42:06
  Speaker 16: all sorts of threats against the organization, fire bombing's resident,
• 42:11
  Speaker 16: other acts of purported violence, and that's why they had
• 42:14
  Speaker 16: to use these informants.
• 42:15
  Speaker 12: And to that, you say, well, to that, I say,
• 42:17
  Speaker 12: for one, the indictment charges all the way through twenty
• 42:19
  Speaker 12: twenty three, so I'm here to speak about what they're
• 42:22
  Speaker 12: doing right now. But that indictment charge is a long
• 42:24
  Speaker 12: period of time through twenty twenty three. And second, and
• 42:27
  Speaker 12: more importantly, there's no allegation or information in the indictment
• 42:31
  Speaker 12: that suggests they shared that information with law enforcement. They
• 42:35
  Speaker 12: have communicator, they said they did well. They have communicated
• 42:37
  Speaker 12: when they so chose with law enforcement over the years.
• 42:40
  Speaker 12: There is no information that we have that suggests that
• 42:43
  Speaker 12: the money that they were paying to these informants and
• 42:45
  Speaker 12: these members of these organizations, they then turned around and
• 42:48
  Speaker 12: shared what they learned with law enforcement to the contrary,
• 42:50
  Speaker 12: or else we would have known from their own words
• 42:53
  Speaker 12: that they had given this money to these guys and
• 42:56
  Speaker 12: we didn't know it.
• 42:57
  Speaker 16: What about Charlottesville and the Charlottesville Night the Right Rally?
• 43:01
  Speaker 16: Were they involved in that?
• 43:02
  Speaker 12: Yes, So what we allege in the indictment and what
• 43:05
  Speaker 12: the grand jury found is that one of the individuals
• 43:08
  Speaker 12: that they paid was one of the folks who helped
• 43:10
  Speaker 12: organize that terrible event. And so imagine what we're talking about, Lore.
• 43:15
  Speaker 12: We're talking about an organization that actively came out and
• 43:18
  Speaker 12: just screamed from the top of their lungs.
• 43:20
  Speaker 16: So, just so people understand watching this, did these informants,
• 43:25
  Speaker 16: in some cases, given the evidence you've seen, actually initiate
• 43:31
  Speaker 16: what would ultimately be these activities? And obviously Charlotte'sville ended
• 43:35
  Speaker 16: with a tragedy.
• 43:36
  Speaker 12: Well, we know that they were part of those They
• 43:38
  Speaker 12: were part of it, whether they were the leaders or
• 43:40
  Speaker 12: the initiators. That that'll come out, I think eventually, But
• 43:43
  Speaker 12: What we do know is that the very entities that
• 43:47
  Speaker 12: this group was raising money to go against are the
• 43:50
  Speaker 12: very entities that they were taking the money in and
• 43:53
  Speaker 12: paying to. These entities and these individuals associated with those groups.
• 43:56
  Speaker 16: What was the money used for, Well, it was.
• 43:59
  Speaker 12: We don't know, because again all we know is that
• 44:01
  Speaker 12: they set up these fictitious bank accounts.
• 44:03
  Speaker 16: Fake names like the Constitution Group or whatever it was called.
• 44:06
  Speaker 16: Then they had one called Fox Photography.
• 44:09
  Speaker 12: Right, the completely fictitious as far as the investigation has shown.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: So there you go, ladies and gentlemen. It was all fabricated.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: It was all fabricated. So the Democrats were literally funding
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: all of these racist groups and then turning around and
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: accusing Conservatives of being the racist. Do you see? Do
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: you see how the game was being played? Just really unbelievable.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: I want to switch gears for just a moment. The
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: governor of Virginia span Burger just came out. Abigail Spanberger
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: just came out. She's doing an interview, and now there
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: is she is now announcing that all fifty states need
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: to be redistricted, just like they did in Virginia. And
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: the reason that she's being open about all of This
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: is because she knows the Republicans aren't going to do
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: anything to stop her. The Republicans had a chance to
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: send a message in Virginia, but the Republicans said, you
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: know what, we're willing to disenfranchise conservative voters in the Commonwealth.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: And that's what happened. So now what's happening in Virginia,
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: she wants to happen in every other state in the Union.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: In other words, they basically, if you are living in
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: a blue state, you will not have Republican lawmakers. That's
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: what she's wanting to do here. Now. God bless ron
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: Desantas because DeSantis is coming out and it looks like
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: they may actually retaliate and redistrict out all of the
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: Democrat lawmakers there. In Florida. GOT twenty seven.
• 45:48
  Speaker 17: Has compact districts. It's done in a way that makes
• 45:52
  Speaker 17: a lot of sense. And the reality is is if
• 45:55
  Speaker 17: you look at like California, you know they're doing all
• 45:58
  Speaker 17: this dog and pony show there now saying, oh Texas,
• 46:02
  Speaker 17: We've got to combat Texas. California is one of the
• 46:05
  Speaker 17: worst jerrymandered maps there is. You know what they did,
• 46:09
  Speaker 17: this is how they do. They're like no, we're going
• 46:10
  Speaker 17: to do an independent commission. So they do a commission.
• 46:14
  Speaker 17: The problem is, it's like if you truly were independent,
• 46:17
  Speaker 17: it's like you would be immune to any type of
• 46:19
  Speaker 17: partisan pressures. But that commission is comprised of liberal Democrats,
• 46:25
  Speaker 17: liberal independence, and very liberal Republicans. I think one of
• 46:29
  Speaker 17: the Republicans is from Berkeley, like not exactly a hotbed
• 46:32
  Speaker 17: of conserve Reagan conservatism. It's just it is what it is.
• 46:35
  Speaker 17: So so they hotwired that independent commission to produce a
• 46:39
  Speaker 17: map that was very much jerrymandered and was not something
• 46:43
  Speaker 17: that was fair to Republicans even at that time. Now
• 46:47
  Speaker 17: they're saying they want to do even more by doing
• 46:51
  Speaker 17: whatever they're talking about doing now. So don't buy this
• 46:55
  Speaker 17: notion that if someone has a commission that that's somehow
• 46:59
  Speaker 17: means it is immune from this type of partisan pressures.
• 47:04
  Speaker 17: The California one was a left wing commission. That's just
• 47:08
  Speaker 17: the reality. That's what they produced, that's what they were
• 47:11
  Speaker 17: supposed to do based on who appointed those folks to
• 47:14
  Speaker 17: that commission. And so I just think it's better to
• 47:18
  Speaker 17: just have the legislature do it, and if you don't
• 47:20
  Speaker 17: like it, you know, you can vote them ount you
• 47:22
  Speaker 17: put some commission in like California, and then stack it.
• 47:26
  Speaker 17: If you don't like that as a voter, those people
• 47:28
  Speaker 17: will never appear on your ballot. But that's exactly what
• 47:30
  Speaker 17: they did there, and they've done it in other states
• 47:33
  Speaker 17: as well. And then Illinois. If you look at Illinois,
• 47:36
  Speaker 17: you know, so Illinois, like if Chicago wasn't in Illinois,
• 47:40
  Speaker 17: it would be a red state. You know, there's some
• 47:43
  Speaker 17: dots blue, but like most of it is red outside
• 47:46
  Speaker 17: of Illinois. So if you drew compact districts, you know,
• 47:49
  Speaker 17: you'd have probably six in the Chicago that would be
• 47:52
  Speaker 17: like ninety ten dem right, but then all the other
• 47:55
  Speaker 17: ones would probably be Republican districts. And they didn't want that.
• 47:59
  Speaker 17: So what they do is they go into the city
• 48:01
  Speaker 17: of Chicago, they find enough dams, and they draw a map.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: So anyway, there you go. That's what DeSantis is wanting
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: to do, which is to go do some redistricting of
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: their own down in Florida. It's all a big mess,
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: right now, ladies and gentlemen, and again the Democrats, they
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: have to be stopped. They just have to be stopped.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: By the way, there's another interesting component all of this
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: Virginia stuff. Now, it turns out that most I think
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: four of the let's see is it five five of
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: the congressional districts in Virginia are going to be in
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: one county, which is I believe Fairfax County. Now what's
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: interesting about this is Fairfax County, You've got what Arlington,
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: and you also have Alexandria. I don't know if they're
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: in the same counties, but Arlington and Alexandria were actually
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: seceded to Virginia. And there is there is talk, and
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: this was on a lot of the social media feeds
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: last night, of doing what they call retrocision, and the
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: retrocision would be the act of returning Arlington and Alexandria
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: Virginia back to the District of Columbia. And if that happens, well,
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: you know you're going to lose all of that population base.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: It's going to go into Washington, d C. But the
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: reality is Virginia automatically becomes a rock solid red state
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: because all the Liberals just got annexed back into Washington,
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: d C. Maybe that's the move here that President Trump
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: could make, but this is really a this is a
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: political battle that is going to decide the future of
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: our great nation, and if it, if it moves onto
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: other states, we're going to have to we're going to
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: have to address that, and we're gonna have to deal
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: with it. So the question is, well, the Republicans have
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: the stomach for the fighting right now? They just have
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: not shown they've got the stomach for anything. All right,
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: got to take a break here. Nine oh one two
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. That is our telephone number.

• 50:14
  Speaker 2: find seventy percent of Americans are not getting the full
• 50:17

• 50:21
  Speaker 2: simple strategy to boost social security benefits by as much
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: as one hundred and eighty eight thousand dollars over a lifetime.

• 50:59
  Speaker 2: welcome back everybody. This is the Ton Sterns Radio Show.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: Great to have you with us. Let's go to the
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: phone lines. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: two six. Charles in North Carolina WSIC are great affiliate.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: There hein Charles, what's on your mind?
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: Hey, Todd?
• 51:19
  Speaker 9: Todd last night in Virginia didn't really surprise me that much,
• 51:23
  Speaker 9: but still it was a it was a huge defeat.
• 51:26
  Speaker 9: You know, I've heard that when you look at the
• 51:28
  Speaker 9: amount of money that's in the Republican coffers that it's
• 51:32
  Speaker 9: like eight hundred million dollars compared to like three hundred
• 51:36
  Speaker 9: million four the Democrats, and yet they didn't spend hardly
• 51:41
  Speaker 9: a plug nickel to win this thing. And I mean,
• 51:46
  Speaker 9: it's just like this, there's this tsunami that's getting ready
• 51:48
  Speaker 9: to hit us in November, and everybody senses it. I mean,
• 51:51
  Speaker 9: we're just making all of these unforced errors. And I
• 51:55
  Speaker 9: think that what needs to happen is I think that
• 52:00
  Speaker 9: President Trump needs to call for John Fuhne to step
• 52:02
  Speaker 9: down as the Senate Majority leader. We've got to we've
• 52:05
  Speaker 9: got to get leadership in a Senate because we've got
• 52:08
  Speaker 9: to get this Save Act passed. I mean, if the
• 52:10
  Speaker 9: Democrats will go to just blatantly jerry mandering a map,
• 52:15
  Speaker 9: if they'll do that, imagine what they're going to do
• 52:17
  Speaker 9: if there's not a Save Act in some type of
• 52:20
  Speaker 9: enforcement mechanism, you know, during the election, you know what
• 52:23
  Speaker 9: they're going to do. And not only just the Save
• 52:26
  Speaker 9: Act Todd, but all these judicial appointments that are being
• 52:29
  Speaker 9: held up. I mean, his whole agenda is be installed.
• 52:33
  Speaker 9: And you've got all these rhinos like Fun, You've got
• 52:36
  Speaker 9: Lindsey Graham, You've got John Cornyn. All of these people
• 52:41
  Speaker 9: are there and they're just standing in the way. And
• 52:44
  Speaker 9: until we replace those people, and there's still time to
• 52:48
  Speaker 9: do that, I just don't see anything getting done. And
• 52:52
  Speaker 9: I just think it's going to be a wipeout at
• 52:55
  Speaker 9: the polls in November. And it's but in order to
• 52:58
  Speaker 9: reinvigorate and ignite his base, you know, people like me,
• 53:02
  Speaker 9: and to get them to turn out and vote and
• 53:04
  Speaker 9: knock doors and do all this thing, do all these
• 53:07
  Speaker 9: things that need to be done. I just think that
• 53:09
  Speaker 9: that's what he's going to have to do. And it
• 53:10
  Speaker 9: starts there at the top in the US Senate.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: Well, I think it starts a little bit higher than that, Charles,
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: and the question I posed on our ex page, are
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: the White House and the Republican controlled Congress serious about
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: winning the midterm elections? Because I don't see anybody that
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: is even remotely concerned about how all of this is
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: playing with the base of the party right now.
• 53:35
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and you know, I've seen this movie before, Todd,
• 53:37
  Speaker 9: and so have you two out the years. You know,
• 53:39
  Speaker 9: when Republicans are out of power, you know, they're great
• 53:43
  Speaker 9: at complaining and about wanting to you know, about what
• 53:45
  Speaker 9: the Democrats are doing, about wanting to change things. But
• 53:48
  Speaker 9: as soon as we give them the levers of power,
• 53:50
  Speaker 9: and they have all three branches right the House, the Senate,
• 53:52
  Speaker 9: the White House, nothing is getting done. And you know,
• 53:56
  Speaker 9: while we're playing checkers, you know, they're playing chess, and
• 54:00
  Speaker 9: there just doesn't seem to be any fight out there.
• 54:02
  Speaker 9: And I agree with it. It's almost just like they're
• 54:04
  Speaker 9: intentionally throwing the ball game away, just kind of like
• 54:07
  Speaker 9: John McCain through the election of two thousand and eight
• 54:09
  Speaker 9: away with the Barack Obama. And it's frustrating.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: What concerns me is that the White House does tend
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: to become a little insular. And they've you know, you've
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: seen the people they've relied on in the past to
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: get their messaging out, people like Tucker Carlson, for example,
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: and that's that kind of thing is just not working.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: And I think they've really got to if they're going
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: to reignite the base, they've got to get back in
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: and open up the communication lines to the people that
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: have that particular audience. And right now they're just not
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: doing that. That the messaging is off right now, and
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: they've got to get that. They've got to get that
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: figured out that they really do otherwise they're just going
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: there are these unforced errors, like the whole thing with
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: the Trump Jesus meme and you know, the Catholic stuff
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: that we cannot get sidetracked by all of these little
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: silly's whirls running around.
• 55:07
  Speaker 18: No exactly and uh and and and Trump is gonna
• 55:10
  Speaker 18: have to just you know, put this Iran war behind
• 55:14
  Speaker 18: behind him and devote and focused on domestic issues because
• 55:18
  Speaker 18: the fact remains that young people still cannot afford to
• 55:21
  Speaker 18: come up with the down payment for a house. They
• 55:24
  Speaker 18: can't afford a house groceries, gas prices are high. Uh,
• 55:28
  Speaker 18: We've still got millions of illegal aliens in this country
• 55:31
  Speaker 18: that are getting government benefits. Uh. I like your idea.
• 55:34
  Speaker 18: I always they would have a clock like they had during COVID.
• 55:37
  Speaker 18: Remember where they showed all the you know, the the
• 55:39
  Speaker 18: casualties and deaths and everything. There needs to be a
• 55:42
  Speaker 18: clock like that showing the number of people that are
• 55:44
  Speaker 18: being deported you know, weekly from the United States. Uh.
• 55:47
  Speaker 18: I mean, just something that's evidence that he's serious about
• 55:52
  Speaker 18: implementing the agenda and not and not gonna, you know,
• 55:55
  Speaker 18: let go of it and get sidetracked on all this
• 55:57
  Speaker 18: other stuff.
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: Charles thoughts, and we're gonna have to leave it there,
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: my friend, we're coming up on a break. But I mean,
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: that really is the question I think of the day.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: Are the Republicans. Are the Republicans in Congress, is the
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: White House? Are they serious about winning the midterm elections?
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: Because I think a lot of us are willing to
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: go to the mattresses, as they used to say in
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: The Godfather, We're willing to go to the mattresses for
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: the president and the party. But we need to make
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: sure that they're willing to fight too, because they showed
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: in Virginia. They didn't show up for the fight, and
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: we saw what happened. All right, got it? Take a break?
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Sterns Show. All right, Welcome back, everybody.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Sterns Radio Show. And I want
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: to go right away to our Patriot Mobile news maker line.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: The angriest man in America right now are Great Republicans
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: strategist Josh Jones. Josh, Wow, your reaction to what happened
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: last night.
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: Last night was a not a good knight. That's the
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: word I'll use there. But last night was not a
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: good knight.
• 57:29
  Speaker 15: In Virginia.
• 57:29
  Speaker 13: The Democrats got what they wanted.
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: They pushed through the scam of a referendum to district
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: or redistrict Virginia and droughout for Republican seats. So look
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: now it's in the hands of the Supreme Court of
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: Virginia if they decide they.
• 57:42
  Speaker 13: Want to roll on this or not.
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: Hopefully they do, but I'm not particularly optimistic about that.
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: Granted I'm not an attorney.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that is our understanding. We understand at least
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: three lawsuits are being filed to stop all of this,
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: which is, you know, I think that's an appropriate thing
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: to do. But again, when you step back from a all,
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: the fact of the matter is that it was probably
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: a lot closer than a lot of people thought. And
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: the fact that, you know, the Republicans spent very little
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: money as opposed to the Democrats. I'm just wondering if
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: the Republicans actually wanted to win last night in Virginia.
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: It's a fair question because to your point, we as
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: a National Republican apparatus, between all the different super PACs
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: and committees, have over eight hundred million dollars cash on hand,
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: whereas the Democrats have less than three hundred million cash
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: on hand.
• 58:29
  Speaker 13: But yet Democrats.
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: Spent fifty five give or take million in Virginia, where
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: as Republicans spent twenty five million. And to your point,
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: it was a lot closer than a lot of people
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: were expecting, particularly to Democrats. So had National Republicans stepped
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: up to the plate and invested in Virginia, Minu.
• 58:45
  Speaker 13: We just lost four House seats.
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: They could have preserved those four House seats for a small,
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: relatively small cause of another twenty five to thirty million
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: and keep those seats. But now we've just put four
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: seats off the map that we can even compete in anymore,
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: assuming Supreme Court doesn't knock this down.
• 59:01
  Speaker 13: So I said it yesterday.
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of Republican leadership is kicking themselves,
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: and they should be.
• 59:06
  Speaker 13: They should be ashamed for not getting involved.
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: Well, and I hate to say this, but it goes
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: all the way to the White House. I don't understand
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: why the White House was not more involved, why the
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: RNC was not more involved. The chair of the Congressional
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: Committee seems to be like, well, you know, this is
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: really not the reality. I hate to break it to you, sir,
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: Congressman Hudson, it is the reality.
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, the road to the majority in the
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: House of Representatives goes through Virginia where swing state.
• 59:33
  Speaker 13: We had two swing districts before this.
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: Election that helped determine the outcomes of the last three
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: majorities in Congress, and now again those have been taken
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: off the board. Now, so hopefully the leadership in DC
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: is looking at potentially supporting this situation in Florida where
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: they redistrict the counteract what happened in Virginia last night,
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: because this is a political knife fight. Clearly, Democrats aren't
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: pulling their punches. They just district a swing state that's
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: basically fifty to fifty to now ninety one percent of
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: the state will be represented by a Democrat whenever where
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: achissept four fifty to fifty state and essentially eradicating rural
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: representation in DC from Virginia. So Florida needs to Retalia.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: Indiana needs to step back up to the play. And
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: if they don't step up to a late primary, those
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: people out get some Republicans in there of action. We're
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: actually going to step into the arena and fight to
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: preserve our majorities.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: And Josh, we understand now that abbiil Spamberger wants a
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: fifty state redistricting effort, much like what happened in Virginia.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: So I mean, this could be a fight from state
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: to state. And if that's the case, that Republicans have
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: shown they're not willing to step up, not only in Virginia,
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: but also, as you pointed out, in Indiana. So I mean,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: this could be a very bad situation for the Republican Party.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 13: You're right, You're right, And to the broader conversation, I've
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 13: talked about, you know, the fifty state situation.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: Look, I'm against jerry mandering across the board. You know
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: now that some of they all should be doing it,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 3: But the reality is now, now we are essentially six
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: months out from the mid terms. This is enough of
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: time to play kate and try and play nice and
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: take the high rider, as.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 13: Nice as that would be.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: The high road, politically speaking, doesn't get you a majority in.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 13: Congress, and the Democrats understand that.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately so and that's why he saw a Haakim Jeffreyes,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: Barack Obama and all these other moderate politicians who are
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: you know, bipartisan, like Abigail Spamberger claimed to be whenever
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: she was running for office. But she gets into the
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: office and her first piece of legislation that she signs
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: is redistricting amendment. And then now it's obviously you come
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: through the voters. So it's unfortunate what happened last night.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of people who should be held responsible,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: frankly on the Republicans side of the ale, that didn't
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: do what they were supposed to do. But hopefully we
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: see a leadership from DeSantis and some other states across
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: the country that step up to the plate at the
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: counteract this.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: So where do where do we go from here? Josh?
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: Because I'm and I asked a very simple question on
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: social media. Uh, do the Republicans really want to win here?
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: I think that is an important conversation that needs to
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: be had before we put a lot of time and
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: effort into something that you know, either the White House
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: or the Senate or the House are just not interested
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: in winning.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean it's a fair question. Look, I can't
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 13: speak for the you know, obviously.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: Entire Republican bow up and down, whether it's you know,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: the right for Congress, Senate, or what have you. But
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 3: at least with the members that I've talked to or
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: work for, particularly in Virginia.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 13: They wanted to win. They definitely wanted to win.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: And help hold our majorities in Congress because the reality
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: is if Democrats take either the House or the Senate,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: hopefully don't take the Senate, but they take the House,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: the Trump administration when it comes to the legislation, their
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: legislativision is over. They'll just stonewall for the next two
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: years until we have a presidential election in twenty twenty eight.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 13: That's their goal.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: Here and you'll have Hakeem Jeffreys, a speaker who will
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: just launch impeachment hearing after impeachment hearing and rather than
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: focusing on actual issues.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 13: So hope Republicans, hopefully this is a wake up call.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: But the changed last night for the nation in terms
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: of the path the victory in Congress for a majority.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: Well, they certainly did. They certainly did. Josh, what advice
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: are you giving candidates across the country?
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 13: Look, don't pull your punches. This is a political knock fight,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 13: and now is it at the.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: Time to try and you take this high road of
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: you know, moral superiority whenever Democrats are just going to
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: kick you while you're down.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 13: So don't pull your punches is the biggest thing.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: And also Republican space or side of the aisle has
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: to work as a team here. We have to allocate
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: resources where they're most needed. Now, for example, in Texas,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: when you have this primary that they spent over one
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: hundred million dollars on between two Republicans behind you, that
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: no matter what whoever you prefer, whoever the nominee is,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: the chances are very high that they're going to win.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: And that would not have required a hundred million dollars.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: Had that hundred million dollars gone to Virginia been a
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: much different story than.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 13: What we saw last night.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you I was in us though
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: with the turnout, and clearly it showed that the rural
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: parts of the state. I think they turned out seventy
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: percent for Donald Trump. They turned out seventy eight percent
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: for this ballot initiative.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 15: Yep. Yeah.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: To your point, if you look at the turnout numbers
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: from just last November, the governor's election to the referendum
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: miner that's in April, it's a special election. People aren't
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: necessarily politically tuned into that. There were more votes for
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: the no vote last night than there were for the
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: Republican nominee for governor last November. So I think that's
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: proof that not only are Republicans fired up, but we
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: also won over independents and Democrats who don't agree with
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: this jerrymandering.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 13: Now bolster our efforts.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: So I think that is a good sign for Republicans
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 3: heading into November nationwide. Speaking of being able to motivate
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: our basic come out to the polls.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: John, there's been some scuttle button and I know you
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: talked about this last night on social media as well.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: The idea of maybe sending Alexandria, sending Arlington back to
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: the district, which is where they were originally part of
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: the district. Is that even a viable option here? I
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: like the idea.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 15: It's a good question.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: And look, I'm not an attorney, especially when it comes
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: to or a legal mind, especially when it comes to
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: that sort of thing. But I mean, look, I would
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: say put it on the table and like at least
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: evaluate it.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 13: I'll leave that up to the DOJ.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: The Trump administration, and you know, their discretion of what
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: they think is like politically and also legally possible or
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: obviously that like DC can't come in and take over
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: part of the state without going through the proper channels
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: about Hey, look, if that's on the table, Look, if
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: Democrats are running the Redistrict of Virginia to a ten
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: to one map and have ninety one per some of
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: the state represented by Democrats even though we're essentially.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 13: Fifty to fifty, I don't see what the issue is.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: If they want to play this game, Republicans have to
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: do it in return.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough, all right, Josh, We're going to leave
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: it there. Appreciate all of your great work, and we'll
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: see you again tonight on Newsmax.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 13: Thanks Todd.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: All right, take care I know what two six zero
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. That's nine oh one two six
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. This is the Todd Sterns Show.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: All right, Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. This is the
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: Todd Sterns Radio Show. And there is a developing situation,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: a breaking news situation in Memphis and the federal agencies,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: the FBI, the Memphis Police Department. They're holding a press
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: conference right now, and the situation is very is very bad.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: But apparently multiple dead babies have been found in a
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: wooded area in the Memphis area, and we're gonna try it.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: We're going to stay on top of this and try
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: to determine what information we can have. They tell us
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: that the citizenry are safe, so if you're in Memphis there,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: you are safe. But they're finding these Since March, they
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: have found a number of skulls, heads of what are
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: believed to be children, very very young children, in the
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: Memphis in the Memphis area. A disturbing, disturbing story that
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: is literally unfolding as you and I are sitting here,
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: so we'll keep you updated on that, but we don't know,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: we don't know what the latest is there, but we'll
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: certainly keep you keep you updated. As a matter of fact,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: let's just you know, let's try to listen in a
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: little bit of this press conference from Memphis.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 19: We plan to be here until we feel like we
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 19: have covered every square inch of this area that could
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 19: potentially be part of this crime scene, so we could
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 19: be here for some more hours this evening, of course,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 19: as it gets darker. We're hoping to close this investigation
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 19: at least here at this crime scene sometime this.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 20: Evening week or within the past few weeks. When the
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 20: forends succeed was initially out there, it was some interesting
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 20: play of the family want remus in Alabama who've been missing,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 20: the realtor who been missing, concerns that the remains could
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 20: be of him.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 15: Does this give you any any.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 20: More hope or what is your direction now in that case?
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 19: Well, we do know that there have been no reports.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 19: That was the first thing that the Memphis Police Department did.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 19: We conducted a review of all of our recent missing
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 19: persons reports and anytime we have young people, especially of
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 19: this age that are missing. We do an amber alert,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 19: so we knew that this individual was not or these
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 19: individuals were not persons that were reported out of our
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 19: area at this particular time. We're going to follow every
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 19: every inch of this investigation, no stone unturned to just
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 19: look at the possibilities. These individuals could be from somewhere,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 19: not from this city. But we are looking at all
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 19: of uh the elements of the investigation.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 21: Was there anything else of the scene.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 13: For clothing, shoes, stuff like that.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 19: And the other I can we have not discovered any
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 19: other elements only uh, bone fragments at this time.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: Are you right at any other scenes of this time?
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 19: No, this is this particular investigation is in this controlled environment.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 7: You're a tomblasse five here is this area being considered.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 15: A dumbling grown uh based off of what you guys
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 15: are found here?
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 19: I don't think so. As Pastor Spencer said, there has
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 19: been a lot of work done in this particular community
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 19: to clean the community up, a lot of activity.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 19: We don't feel like this particular this this area of
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 19: shrub has been a dumping ground sort of speak. Uh.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 19: Obviously a place uh where these these y y these
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 19: young remains Uh were hidden.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 16: Death.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 19: Yet no, not at this time had this call began.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 19: Uh suspicious you work, you know, it's more about what
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 19: that quality, well actually an individual.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: So there you go. We're just getting some again. This
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: is happening in real time. But the breaking news out
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: of Memphis, Tennessee. Human remains, bones skulls of children, three children,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: they say, at least three children they're still digging, have
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: been found in the Hickory Hill section of Memphis, ages
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: between the ages of three and seven years old. There's
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: no indication if who the children are, whether or not
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: they are from the Memphis area, or they might have
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: just been dumped or buried here here in the Memphis area.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: But wow, what a crazy, crazy story. Nine oh one
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six is are a
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: telephone number? That's nine oh one two six zero five,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: nine to six. All right, I want to play this audio.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: This is from Stephen Miller, who is on the warpath
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: right now, and he is directing all of his attention
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: on men where there has been so much corruption, so
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: much grift, and I think Steven Miller sort of laid
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: it all out perfectly.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 14: Take a listen of Minnesota who works as alignment, or
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 14: works as a construction worker, works in any job that
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 14: requires hard work, dedication, focus, who's worried about his ability
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 14: to support for and provide his family. And then imagine
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 14: that he has a neighbor who's a Somali refugee who
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 14: arrived two years ago and has a Mercedes and no
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 14: financial stress and no worries at all in the entire world,
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 14: and never seems to ever go to work at all
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 14: because he just went to an office in the state,
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 14: lied on a piece of paper and got unlimited free
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 14: money forever for life. That is the system that is
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 14: being run, and that is the corruption that this task
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 14: force under the leadership with the vice president, is going to demolish.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: Good for you, and that is frustrating, right. I mean,
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: you work your rear end off. Many of you cannot
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: afford a home, many of you have to run an apartment.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: And then you turn around and you see all these illegals.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: You see the H one B Visa people. They're driving
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: around in Mercedes. They're able to put down payments on
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: homes and many of them are living in the lap
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: of luxury based on your tax dollars. And I'm glad
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: to see Stephen Miller saying that this is it's just
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: not right, it's just not fair, and he's absolutely right.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: So what are they going to do about it? And
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: it goes back to this notion And we had a
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: caller early on, I think it was Steve from Little
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: Rock who said it like this. He said, Todd, imagine
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: if we were able to get rid of all of
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: the corruption of the grift, and a lot of it
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: is probably coming out of these NGOs, we may not
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: not only would they not have to raise our taxes,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: we might be able to get refunds. I mean, that's
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: how insane it is. Nine oh one two six year
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: oo five nine two six. That's nine oh one two
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six coming up. I am
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: very excited about our next hour. We have a great guest.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: She is a member of the Greek Orthodox Church, and
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: it has been so impressive to see the numbers of
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: young people returning to the church and especially Orthodox churches. Uh.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: There is a huge Greek festival coming up, so we're
• 1:13:23

  Speaker 2: We got to do it right though. Oh, that's gonna
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: be a lot of fun. Anyway.
• 1:13:43

• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: few moments. And many of you have expressed some questions

• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: How Trump Saved America. And this is one of those
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: books I think that is really going to make a
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: difference in the culture, and especially as we begin to
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: focus on what life looks like after Donald J. Trump,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: because he will be leaving office in two years and
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: we're going to have to be prepared for that. And
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: that's one of the reasons why I wrote The Golden Age,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: How Trump Saved America. All Right, hang tight, everybody. Our
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: three of the Big Show coming up. Nine oh one
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: two six zero five, nine two six. This is the
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: Todd Sterns Show.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: America's conservative Blowtorch's.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: This American. Todd starts, well, ye, all right, hello, everybody,
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: Welcome to the Todd Sterns Radio Show. Great to have
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: you with us today. All Right, we have some breaking
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: news coming out of the White House. So just just
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: moments ago, President Trump weighing in on what happened last
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: night in Virginia, and the President now believes that last
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: night's election was actually rigged. I want you to hear
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: what the President just had to say.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 22: Take some time and I'll make this signature absolutely perfect.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 22: So it looks very good so far, saying, okay.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 7: So that's a big deal.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 23: I'm very proud of you, and I think I don't
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 23: know how it can be Challenging'll probably challenge and your
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 23: mission to find a rogue.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 22: Judge or a lot of rogue judges, very bad, bad people,
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 22: very bad judges. But that's the only way that could
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 22: be changed. And hopefully, well, we don't appeal if it is.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 22: But I don't I don't see how anybody can challenge it.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 5: I don't see how they can challenge it.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 15: All right.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: The President calling the election that last night a rigged election,
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: says it needs to be fought all the way to
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: the Supreme Court. And again he says a rigged election
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: took place last night in the Great Commonwealth of Virginia.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: He says, all day long, Republicans were winning. The spirit
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: was unbelievable until the very end, when, of course there
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: was a massive mail in ballot drop. Where have I
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: heard that before? And the Democrats eked out another crooked
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: victory six to five, goes to ten to one. And
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: yet the presidential election in November was very close almost
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: a fifteen to fifty split reading what the President's writing here.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: In addition to everything else, the language on the referendum
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: was purposely unintelligible and deceptive. As everyone knows, I am
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: an extraordinarily brilliant person, and even I had no idea
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: what the hell they were talking about in the referendum,
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: and neither do they. Let's see if the courts will
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: fix this travesty of justice. President Donald J. Trump. All right,
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: all camps inres. So the President now weighing in, and
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: we will keep you updated on that story as well.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: By the way, our telephone number is nine oh one
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five, nine two six. You know,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: maybe we do need a little Maybe we should just
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: like set the mood, Dylan, you know, for what we're
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: about to do, because I am a huge fan of
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: the Greek people. I love the Greek life, and uh,
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: you know, Dylan, I grew up Southern Baptist and we're
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: not Orthodox, so we can't throw plates.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 15: We can't throw plates or dance.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: We say amen, and which is great, but I'd rather say.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 22: Oh, fah foah.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: I didn't know much about the Greek. I didn't know
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: much about anything until I moved back home to Memphis,
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: and there is somebody said, you got to go to
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: this fast and it's uh, it's sponsored by the Orthodox
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: Church here in Memphis, and it's called the Memphis Greek Festival.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: And Dylan, I'm telling you it really, You've been a
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: time or two. It's got to be the best festival
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: in the entire city.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 15: So I still don't know if it's Euro or Gyro.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 15: I need help.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: We're gonna find out. We're gonna find out because we
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: have an incredible human being, one of my favorite people
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: in the city. Her name is Kathy Zambellas, and she
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: is She does pr for the Memphis Greek Festival and
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: a lot of other stuff. Kathy, it is so good
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: to have you on the National Show today. Oh I'm sorry,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: I think what is it again? Yira zero? All right, Dylan,
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: you gotta work with.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 12: Wow.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: I love that practice. So this is announced.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 23: It correct to eat it. That's the great thing about
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 23: the Greek Festival to say I want that, and I
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 23: want that, and I want that.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: Just don't walk up. I want one of them there, Gyros.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: You can't say that. I don't think it's that it
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: is coming up May eighth and ninth, and if you
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: are planning a visit to Memphis, you've got to be
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: here for the big Memphis Greek Festival, and we're going
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: to talk about that in just a moment. But Kathy,
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: I again, you guys have such a beautiful sanctuary and
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: church in the community there and it's been so exciting
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: to see what my understanding is that a lot of
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: young people are coming back to the church.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 23: They are we have new faces every Sunday and it
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 23: is such a blessing. The Orthodox Church is the first
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 23: original church of Christianity, dates back all the way back
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 23: to the Apostles, and so we love that people has
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 23: been coming in. You know, they come to the festivals
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 23: sometimes and they go to our church tours and Father
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 23: Simon Thomas does an amazing job with those tours that
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 23: we have a lot of people that want to learn
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 23: more about Orthodoxy and end up coming and being Greek
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 23: because they love the humbleness and the beauty of the church.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 23: And we have definitely seen an impact of where young men,
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 23: women were already kind of coming young men and now
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 23: families joining the church. And it's a beautiful thing.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: And we've been seeing this happening all across the country
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: where really over the past four or five years, this
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: younger generation. And we were talking to a guy by
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: the name of Jeremiah Johnston who wrote a book. He's
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: an apologetics guy, and he said that, you know, a
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: lot of young people are looking for truth. You know,
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: they're looking you know, they're not looking for you know,
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 2: baby food. They're looking for you know, in depth Bible
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 2: study and culture. And I think that's one of the
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: reasons why they're coming back to the Greek Orthodox Church.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 23: Yes, the Orthodoxy is I mean, you're not going to
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 23: get anything more in depth than the Orthodox Church because
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 23: we don't you know, it's it's deeply rooted, it's deeply humbled,
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 23: and we follow the passage of the Bible of the Lord.
• 1:22:14

• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: My word from the New York Post, the headline farmers
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 2: want to breed uglier cows and the reason why. Apparently
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: the cows have been inundated by hordes of influencers wanting
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: to take I guess photos with the cattle. One farmer.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: This is happening over the UK, by the way. One
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: farmer said he's really upset about all of this. Alex
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: Birch from Derbyshire. He says that he is going to
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: breed uglier cows to curb the relentless tide of influencers
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: lining up to snap selfies and generally harass his handsome
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: Highland cattle. Got to tell you it's a good looking cow.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, as far as you know bovines go,
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: he said. The intention is to make them less photogenic.
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: Telling the BBC of his plan to de beautify his bovines,
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: he said he's observed a concerning uptick and gawkers flocking
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: to his farm. Oh, they're known as flufy and the
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 2: cows because they have like a very thick, shaggy fur.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 2: Kind of looks like a van my dad had back
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: in the mom and dad had back in the seventies
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: with the shag carpet. I gotta tell you they're kind
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 2: of good looking cows. You don't have most cows, you know,
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 2: they're not like these are like big furry. They look
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: like bears. The poor farmer says, my cows don't get
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 2: any peace. He says people are hugging his He said
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 2: people are hugging the cows. Oh. He also said, somebody
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 2: filmed a yoga video next to them. Really, you're gonna
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: put a cow on your back? Really?
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 13: That?
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 2: Really you're gonna do that? Come on, folks, just leave
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 2: the leave the cows alone, go back to the goats.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 2: I know won two six zero five nine two six
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: is a our telephone number. This is the to On
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 2: Stern show, Dylan, You're not gonna believe this. So last
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 2: week we we were promoting the fact that the Oscar
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: Mere Wienermobile was coming into town, which led to an
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: entire what what days of phone calls from across the
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: nation full shows people wanted to talk about their favorite
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: hot dog, experience, driving or writing in the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.

  Speaker 2: But we have an update because apparently I'm shocked here.

• 1:34:57
  Speaker 2: our buddies from Strategic Financial Partners and by the way,
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: the website Strategic Financial Partners dot com. But we're talking
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 2: to the break and so you're going down to Starkfild, Mississippi,
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 2: that's right, and for the big event. And I mean
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 2: this is this is insane. I've never heard about this.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: It's called the Starkville Derby. What is it?
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 7: Okay? So the Starkbell Derby is the world's largest Wiener
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 7: dog race. They race docs AND's it's all for charities,
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 7: for the Octobaha Humane Society to benefit it.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 2: I'm say what again.
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 7: Oktibaha County Humane Society.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: I thought it was coffee.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 7: All you Mississippi listeners, you know where Octobaha is. But Todd,
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 7: you literally have people from all over the world, from France,
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 7: from Japan, from California, traveling overseas to compete in this race. Really,
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 7: I think they had like fifty thousand people last year,
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 7: fifty thousand spectators. They have a lot of heats, and yeah,
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 7: my role is a little bit unique. I'm the bugler,
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 7: the official bugler for the Starkwold Derby. So I play
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 7: the call to the post to open up the festiveness.

• 1:36:06
  Speaker 7: trained like they post videos of their dogs running on treadmills,
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 7: and it's like they take it very seriously and they
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 7: and here's the thing. Every dog that wins their heat wins.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 7: I kid you, not a golden wiener.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 2: It's the only kind of wiener to have.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: It's interesting you bring that up because years ago Fox
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 2: Friends sent me as a reporter to cover the Westminster
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: Dog Show. They're in New York City and so they
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 2: have like this doggy day spa there and so we
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 2: decided to do a setup and they actually had these
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: little these little what do you call them, you know,
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: the where you walk indoor. I tried to like, you know,
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 2: he's doing great. So they have treadmills, and they have
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 2: like I'll never forget this, they had like three, they
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: had four treadmills, and they had a poodle and a
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: couple of bulldogs, one on one side and then one
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: on the other. And then I was in the middle
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 2: and I was trying to, you know, walk and do
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: a stand up and I fell off the treadmill this
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: year and the dogs started laughing at There is video,
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 2: there is the news video of it. Well, that's exciting. Congratulations.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 7: It's a phenomenal community event, one of the best festivals
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 7: in Mississippi, and I'm honored to be a part of it.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, though, we just got a
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 2: note from our affiliate down in Pascagoula, Mississippi. The Great
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 2: Noah Britt is the station owner, and he says, ohok
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 2: County the home of Mississippi State.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 7: October ha.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Octoba, so inappropriate me I do apologize.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 7: Yes, go dogs State.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 2: All right, My goodness, Uh, thanks for coming, guys.
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 10: Have you.
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 2: So what we we're talking today about a disability income
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 2: and I'm I'm excited to talk about this conversation because
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 2: a lot of people are completely unprepared, and Adam just
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 2: and there's some people that I know and they went
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: on vacation having the time of their life, and the
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: husband just died suddenly, and you know, now the family
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: is having to do unexpectedly a lot of planning and
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 2: preparation and things that you know, they're just dealing with
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of things that you probably would not have
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 2: expected to deal with. And I think when it comes
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: to especially disability insurance and planning, people just don't think
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 2: they need to be prepared for that.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 7: Kind of stuff.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 21: Yeah, I think just this out of sight, out of mind.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 21: Not a lot of people talk about it. We see
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 21: a lot of commercials on TV about life insurance, and
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 21: we see about homeowners insurance and car insurance. But where's
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 21: the advertisement for talking about replacing income if we lost
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 21: the ability to earn it. I think it's just something
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 21: that doesn't get talked about a lot. And that's while
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 21: we're here on your radio show today to bring awareness to.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, God forbid, poor Chris is down there and
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 2: he's blowing the bugle and the next thing you know,
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 2: he gets trampled by a bunch of wiener dogs.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 7: It could happen.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: You've got it, you know, you've got to be prepared
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 2: for that.
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 21: Yeah, I mean just think about it like this. If
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 21: you woke up tomorrow and then all of the sudden
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 21: your ability to earn an income went away, how much
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 21: financial stress would that put on you?
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 2: It would be tremendous, right, it would be.
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 21: I mean, how do we pay our mortgage, how do
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 21: we pay the car insurance bill? How do we pay
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 21: for that homeowner's insurance bill. We have to have that
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 21: earned income. So us as financial advisors, we sit down
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 21: and we talk about risk a lot. You know, how
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 21: much risk am I willing to take in the market,
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 21: But our conversations generally start with your risk. Here it's
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 21: glaring is if you lost your income, you went from
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 21: one hundred percent of your income down to even sixty,
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 21: which is typically the group number, how would that have
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 21: an effect on your life? And the nine times out
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 21: of ten they're like, well, I don't know what I
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 21: would do because that's not enough money to pay my bills.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 2: Now I remember, and this can happen to anybody, And
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: I was thirty seven years old and I thought I
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: had bronchitis, ended up having to have open heart surgery
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 2: and I was out for I think twelve weeks. And
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 2: you know, fortunately I had insurance, I had planned an advance,
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: so I was good to go through all of that.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 2: But and then you worry about those things. The reality
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: is it doesn't have to be something as you know
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 2: that dramatic, right, it doesn't.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 21: I mean and and a lot of disability insurance and
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 21: I don't even like to call it disability insurance. We
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 21: call it income protection. Insurance is us looking at what
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 21: is available to you through your group, So through your work.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 21: We want to look at those contracts because a lot
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 21: of times a lot of people are high income earners,
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 21: but a portion of that income is a base salary.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 21: Most of it comes from like bonuses and commissions, and
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 21: a lot of the language around these group policies does
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 21: not include bonuses and commissions. So we bring that to
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 21: their attention so that they have a plan, or we
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 21: can at least put a plan in place in the
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 21: event somewhere to happen.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 7: Well and Todd something I think your listeners will probably
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 7: think when they hear all this is well Adam Chris,
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 7: that sounds like a lot of what ifs. That's a
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 7: lot of what if statement. Well, first and foremost, our
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 7: job is what ifs, right, that's our whole thing. Is
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 7: able to plan for every scenario that you don't have
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 7: to so when something does happen, we've already planned for it.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 7: But let's go to some numbers, and today, of today's
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 7: twenty year olds, one in four of every twenty year
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 7: old will be disabled before the time they retire. That
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 7: is a fact just based on current day statistics. To
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 7: take our modern day working group, one out of every
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 7: eight workers who are currently under the workforce will be
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 7: disabled at some point in their career for a period
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 7: of five or more years. And the question you have
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 7: to ask your listeners, Todd is could they afford that
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 7: right now? Could they afford it to be able to
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 7: work or to not work for that period of time
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 7: and to make that income? Could they support their family?
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 7: Do they truly think that they have the ability to
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 7: be self insured? And the reality is ninety nine percent
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 7: of them cannot.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 2: So is some people they have insurance packages, you know,
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 2: with their companies, and they maybe have a disability insurance package.
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 2: Is that enough or do they need to be looking elsewhere.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 21: What if they go and change jobs and the new
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 21: job doesn't offer it, they don't get to take it
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 21: with them.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: So that's what we have.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 21: The conversation with them is like, Okay, what if your
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 21: employer makes a decison for you and they have to
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 21: make job cuts and you're unfortunately one of those that
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 21: get cut. If all we do is leave all of
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 21: our insturants to our company and then make a decision
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 21: for us, that's not good planning. So what we do
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 21: is to say we want to ensure more than sixty percent.
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 21: We can't get you to one hundred percent because then
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 21: there would be no incentive to go to work right,
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 21: people would just be filling claims right and left so
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 21: that they could stay at home and not work. But
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 21: if we can get you up to eighty percent, and
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 21: then let's just say a job change happens, at least
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 21: you still now have that twenty percent extra coverage in place,
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 21: and then we can pivot accordingly when there's a job change,
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 21: it happens.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 2: If you have a question for Adam or Chris, Strategic
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: Financial Partners dot com is the website. Give us a
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 2: call nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 2: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. Chris,
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: let's talk about age brackets here. Who ought to be
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: thinking about this?
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 7: That's a great question, Todd. So the first and foremost
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 7: thing I gonna tell anybody, like what Adam was saying earlier,
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 7: you need to look at your benefits. You need to
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 7: pay attention what are the thresholds. A lot of twenty
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 7: something year olds and their twenties and even thirties are
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 7: getting their benefits package and they're checking the box and disability,
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 7: but they're not reading the fine print. And what they
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 7: don't realize is if they're planning on staying with that
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 7: company and growing, their disability gets capped at a certain point.
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 7: So it could be protected up to sixty percent, but
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 7: it might only be protected up to sixty percent of
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 7: say one hundred K, one hundred and twenty k. Well, what
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 7: if that person rises in the ranks and they go
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 7: on to become the leader of that company, but their
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 7: benefits never changed. I was actually having a meeting last
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 7: month with a medical sales company and something we brought up.
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 7: We always ask about their benefits, and we asked their
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 7: rep you know, what does it look like right now
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 7: for y'all and disability and he he shut his planner
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 7: and he looked at us and he said, it has
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 7: been the biggest headache. We said, why, I said, because
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 7: eighty percent of our employees are highly compensated employees and
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 7: our disability doesn't even come close to scratching the surface
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 7: of what we need. And that is the case for
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 7: a huge majority of companies in this country, where they
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 7: just simply check the box and they don't go the
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 7: extra mile. And that's where Adam and I come in
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 7: to fill those blind spots because a lot of people
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 7: are not thinking about it.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, in a way, basically, what you're saying is
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 2: you're ensuring your income.
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 21: It's income protection. And it's going back to your previous
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 21: question of who does need to be thinking about this.
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 21: It's as simple as this, do you rely on your
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 21: income to support your lifestyle? If the answer is yes,
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 21: why aren't we protecting it?
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 2: It's a fair point.
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 14: You know.
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 2: It's funny our staff here at the building gen Z right,
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 2: And so we wanted to, you know, after the second year,
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 2: we wanted to start offering you know, benefits, and one
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 2: of them was health insurance and It was funny because
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 2: I think to a person, they all said, no, why
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 2: don't I need health insurance? I'm healthy as a horse,
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: And you're like, well, but you may not be. And
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 2: that's that's the issue. I think a lot of young people,
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 2: you know, they're not thinking through that. You know, you
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 2: may end up getting sick, you may be in a
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 2: car accident, and you know, I mean, I guarantee you
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 2: every single one of them has insurance on their phone.
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 21: One thing that I don't want my clients or anybody
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 21: that's listening to every experience is if they if they're.
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 2: Pondering the well, what if? What if?
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 21: There's a lot of what ifs here if you get
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 21: to a situation where this happens, I don't ever want
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 21: you to think, well, what if I had just put
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 21: some disability insurance in place?
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 15: Todd?
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 7: Let me tell you a story real quick. Next month
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 7: is Disability Awareness Month, and that is a big deal
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 7: for our firm because it opens up the conversation to
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 7: all of our clients. One of our advisors pulled me
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 7: aside the other day because we were just talking about it,
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 7: and he had a client who for who's a business
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 7: who was a business owner and he begged for years
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 7: for him to get disability insurance. Finally he got it.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 7: After it and every year was the same conversation, do
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 7: I really need this? I don't like it, I'm not
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 7: crazy about it. And time and time again, this advisor
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 7: reassured him, you need this. Hey, it's the right thing.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 7: Just just add it to the plan. Well, this business
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 7: owner had a last second back surgery. They're supposed to
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 7: be a small little thing to smak a small little
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 7: kink in his back, and he was not playing on
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 7: being out for more than sixty days, but they put
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 7: in an acclaim as I'm claiming, because he would be
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 7: out of work, so they just decided to go through
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 7: their team. Well, sixty days later, he gets a check
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 7: in the mail from the insurance company. After this pretty
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 7: significant back surgery. It turned out because they found some
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 7: stuff and he said, hey, you know, should I cast this?
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 7: And the advisor said, yes, absolutely, because they're seeing some
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 7: statistics there based on your surgery that you're probably not
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 7: going to be going back. He Tompson. He said, oh no,
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 7: I'm good, I'll bounce back. I'll be brought back. Todd.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 7: He never went back to work, Is that right?
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 20: Not?
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 7: Ever, the advisor and his wife were out Sunday for
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 7: lunch and they ran into this couple, the business owner
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 7: and his wife, and the wife Amelily, ran up and
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 7: hugged the advisor and said, you saved our lives because
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 7: if we had not had that policy, our lives would
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 7: have been ruined.
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 2: And again, folks, this is all about preparing and getting ready,
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 2: making sure that you've got everything ready to go in
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 2: the event you know, something unfortunate happens. And I want

  Speaker 2: love it, absolutely love it, and it's been very helpful
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 2: to us. Oh, this is interesting. CNN has a new
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 2: survey and I'm not surprised by this, but it's still
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 2: sort of shocking to see these numbers here. A record
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 2: high number of Americans disapprove of Congress and most of
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 2: this is being driven by a huge shift from the GOP.
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 2: Are you ready for these numbers? Eighty six percent of
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 2: America disapproves of what Congress is doing eighty six percent.
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 2: Only ten percent ten percent of Americans actually approve and
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 2: think that Congress is doing a good job. So, again,
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 2: going back to what we talked about at the very
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 2: beginning of the show, this is a time of courage
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 2: and we need Republicans that are going to rise up.
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 2: Republicans are going to fight the good fight Republicans that
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 2: are not going to back down from the Democrats because
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 2: the Democrats are in this and they're in your face
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 2: about it. If they don't care, they know exactly what
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 2: they did yesterday in Virginia and they don't care. And
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 2: that's the attitude that we're going to have to have
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 2: and Florida this is going to be a great example
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 2: and a great place to test this idea of standing
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 2: up to the Democrats and giving to them do unto
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 2: them as they have done done unto us. I mean,
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 2: it really is. It really is that simple. So we're
• 1:50:30
