Transcript
- 0:10Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 0:14Speaker 1: America's favorite gun, total Bible, clinging, deplorable America.
- 0:18Speaker 2: That's this American.
- 0:25Speaker 3: Tod starts fell you.
- 0:30Speaker 4: Well, I just have to tell you this. This hearing
- 0:33Speaker 4: on Capitol Hill right now is is fascinating. Dare I
- 0:37Speaker 4: say drivening must hear radio Hell, everybody, welcome to the
- 0:43Speaker 4: Tom Sterns Radio program. Such an honor to have you
- 0:46Speaker 4: with us, border to border, coast to coast, across the
- 0:50Speaker 4: Rouited Plain. This hearing today on Capitol Hill, House Judiciary,
- 0:55Speaker 4: and we're going to be playing some audio from this
- 0:58Speaker 4: a hearing in just a matter of moment, and it
- 1:01Speaker 4: is really breathtaking as we watch all of this. As
- 1:06Speaker 4: we watch all of this unfold, I'm talking about the
- 1:09Speaker 4: hearing on the Southern Poverty Law Center. And for many, many, many,
- 1:15Speaker 4: many many years, the Southern Poverty Law Center has been
- 1:19Speaker 4: working a grift and the Justice Department allegations are stunning.
- 1:25Speaker 4: The grand jury indictments are just off the charts. But
- 1:29Speaker 4: what's happening today as members of Congress are now grilling
- 1:34Speaker 4: some of the top executives at the Southern Poverty Law
- 1:37Speaker 4: Center we are now discovering that this organization that was
- 1:41Speaker 4: supposed to be all about protecting people from racism and
- 1:46Speaker 4: all of this kind of turns out they're the ones
- 1:48Speaker 4: that were actually fomenting all of it. In other words,
- 1:52Speaker 4: they were out there raising hundreds of millions of dollars.
- 1:55Speaker 4: Do you understand the magnitude of the money here is
- 1:59Speaker 4: just off the charts. We're talking about hundreds of millions
- 2:03Speaker 4: of dollars that the Southern Poverty Law Center was bringing
- 2:05Speaker 4: in from all of these left wing groups. And the
- 2:09Speaker 4: argument was that racism today in America is worse than
- 2:13Speaker 4: it was during the Civil War days. That's what they
- 2:17Speaker 4: were trying to convince people. And they were using all
- 2:21Speaker 4: of these stories, for example, most recently the Charlottesville, Virginia incident.
- 2:26Speaker 4: And now we know that the Southern Poverty Law Center
- 2:29Speaker 4: was actually bankrawlling all of these things. So in essence,
- 2:33Speaker 4: there was really no there is no major race problem
- 2:37Speaker 4: in America, at least not when it comes to you know,
- 2:40Speaker 4: white people being racist. No, that's not an issue anymore.
- 2:45Speaker 3: It's not.
- 2:46Speaker 4: It's just simply not. But the Southern Poverty Law Center
- 2:49Speaker 4: wanted you to believe otherwise, and that is the focus
- 2:53Speaker 4: of this hearing as we try to get to the
- 2:55Speaker 4: bottom of it, because the Southern Poverty Law Center put many, many,
- 2:58Speaker 4: many lives in danger, all of them conservatives going after
- 3:03Speaker 4: organizations who are very dear friends of mine. As a
- 3:05Speaker 4: matter of fact, the Family Research Council, our good friend
- 3:09Speaker 4: Tony Perkins is going to be joining us a little
- 3:11Speaker 4: bit later on. He is the president of Family Research Council.
- 3:15Speaker 4: A domestic terrorist showed up. Gosh, when was this back
- 3:18Speaker 4: in twenty fifteen. I will get the exact date. A
- 3:22Speaker 4: domestic terrorist showed up with a map printed out by
- 3:26Speaker 4: the Southern Poverty Law Center that had a list of
- 3:29Speaker 4: all the hate groups in America. And this guy showed
- 3:32Speaker 4: up at the front door of the Family Research Council headquarters,
- 3:35Speaker 4: a beautiful building near the White House. The guy was
- 3:40Speaker 4: loaded with weapons and Chick fil A sandwiches. And the
- 3:44Speaker 4: guy's plan was to slaughter as many people as he
- 3:48Speaker 4: could inside the Family Research Council building, and then he
- 3:52Speaker 4: was going to take the Chick fil A sandwiches and
- 3:54Speaker 4: he was going to smear their faces with the sandwiches
- 3:59Speaker 4: and leave the bondy. That was his plan. Well, thank
- 4:03Speaker 4: god that there was a security guard at the building.
- 4:06Speaker 4: He got shot, suffered major injuries, but he was able
- 4:11Speaker 4: to stop the gunman from killing people, including Tony Perkins,
- 4:17Speaker 4: the president of Family Research Council. I mean, this is
- 4:19Speaker 4: how despicable and devious the Southern Poverty Law Center is.
- 4:22Speaker 4: These people are really, really, really really bad people, and
- 4:28Speaker 4: it's just unacceptable. So just a few moments ago, we
- 4:33Speaker 4: had some testimony from Chip Roy, and Chip Roy is
- 4:39Speaker 4: one of those that's just grilling folks. So let's take
- 4:42Speaker 4: a listen, mister Fair.
- 4:45Speaker 5: In twenty twelve, the Family Research Council was attacked and
- 4:52Speaker 5: the guard in the front of the building was shot.
- 4:55Speaker 3: The head of the.
- 4:55Speaker 5: Family Research Council twenty Perkins made quite note at the
- 4:59Speaker 5: time of Southern Poverty Law Center's involvement in that and
- 5:04Speaker 5: putting Family Research Council on their so called hate map.
- 5:08Speaker 5: Has the SPLC ever acknowledged that its designation contributed.
- 5:12Speaker 6: To that attack, Congressman Roy, Yes or no? I can't
- 5:19Speaker 6: answer that question with the yes and no you asked
- 5:22Speaker 6: me if I.
- 5:23Speaker 5: Did they interact correct or reconsider the listing of the
- 5:26Speaker 5: Family Research Council on its hate map.
- 5:28Speaker 6: The Family Research Council is listed on our hatemap because
- 5:33Speaker 6: it meets the criteria.
- 5:35Speaker 5: This day, you continue to keep the Fund of Research
- 5:37Speaker 5: Council on its hate map.
- 5:38Speaker 3: Is that true?
- 5:39Speaker 6: The Family Research Council remains on the hate map because
- 5:43Speaker 6: it meets the criteria that we use.
- 5:45Speaker 3: For which criteria.
- 5:48Speaker 6: The Family Research Council is an anti LGBTQ.
- 5:51Speaker 5: Okay, So on your website you used to have language
- 5:54Speaker 5: on their defending your position on the Family Research Council,
- 5:57Speaker 5: and you had language saying that other groups like Focus
- 6:01Speaker 5: on the Family are not included, and you use that
- 6:04Speaker 5: as your defense. Well, that language is now gone and
- 6:07Speaker 5: Focus on the Family is now noted as a hate group.
- 6:12Speaker 6: Mister Roy, can you explain that, Congressman Roy, We take
- 6:15Speaker 6: no pleasure in listening any group, and we wish the
- 6:17Speaker 6: list was empty, but we have the constitutional right to express.
- 6:22Speaker 3: How many leftists?
- 6:23Speaker 5: How many leftists anti Jewish groups do you have listed
- 6:25Speaker 5: on your website?
- 6:27Speaker 3: We name them.
- 6:30Speaker 6: Anyone listening to this can go to our website and
- 6:33Speaker 6: see our again. Our Year and Hate and Extremism Report
- 6:37Speaker 6: was released this morning the extra.
- 6:39Speaker 5: How many extremists Islamic groups do you have? Of the
- 6:41Speaker 5: fifteen hundred or so organizations you have in your hate map.
- 6:45Speaker 6: Again, anyone can go to our website.
- 6:47Speaker 5: I obviously have been looking over and can't really find one.
- 6:52Speaker 6: Again, it is the SPLCS.
- 6:55Speaker 5: The SBLC can provide us a list of the it
- 6:57Speaker 5: is the Islamic oriented groups do you have on your
- 6:59Speaker 5: hate hate map?
- 7:01Speaker 6: Mister Roy, we don't target any group because of its religion. Really,
- 7:05Speaker 6: I want to be clear about that. Really, yes, that's
- 7:08Speaker 6: exactly right. We target no group because of its religion.
- 7:11Speaker 6: We target groups because they express statements and engage in
- 7:17Speaker 6: activities that demean and villainy brought.
- 7:20Speaker 3: Up LGBTQ group.
- 7:22Speaker 5: So you brought up lgbt groups a minute ago. So
- 7:24Speaker 5: you think there's a bunch of Islamic groups that are
- 7:26Speaker 5: pro LGBTQ. Is that the position of the SPLC. I
- 7:30Speaker 5: just want to make sure the record is reflecting.
- 7:32Speaker 6: That, mister Roy. As I said, we target no group
- 7:38Speaker 6: or label no group because of its religion. We target
- 7:41Speaker 6: groups and label groups because of what they say about others,
- 7:45Speaker 6: and we have a constitutional right to do that and
- 7:49Speaker 6: we will continue to do that.
- 7:51Speaker 5: How long did it take for you to criticize the
- 7:53Speaker 5: attacks on October seventh?
- 8:00Speaker 3: Mister Roy was it immediate.
- 8:04Speaker 6: We were clear and loud about our criticism of a
- 8:07Speaker 6: mass attack on Israel in October seventh.
- 8:10Speaker 7: My research shows that articular at least three weeks.
- 8:12Speaker 5: To finally say anything, and then you attacked and criticize Israel.
- 8:18Speaker 5: Mister Roy, do you think the record reflects that or
- 8:19Speaker 5: my incorrect.
- 8:20Speaker 6: Mister Roy, As I said, the SPLC has a fifty
- 8:24Speaker 6: five year history of fighting anti Semitism. It speaks for itself.
- 8:33Speaker 5: And yet the response to the targeting the Family Research
- 8:38Speaker 5: Council was to defend yourself for having focused on the family,
- 8:41Speaker 5: and then you immediately and you pulled down from the
- 8:43Speaker 5: website that defense it was your only defense.
- 8:48Speaker 6: Well, first, mister Roy, speakers in the United States don't
- 8:53Speaker 6: need to defend their speech. We have free speech, and
- 8:58Speaker 6: so you everyone should understand.
- 9:00Speaker 5: Yeah, you do here on the record have to defend
- 9:03Speaker 5: the position of an organization that has now been indicted
- 9:05Speaker 5: and has superseding indictment based on very clear indications of
- 9:09Speaker 5: the way the money is flowing in order to target
- 9:11Speaker 5: very specific groups and to potentially defraud your donors.
- 9:16Speaker 3: Not to mention, by the way, banks I find a
- 9:19Speaker 3: little more time.
- 9:19Speaker 5: I'd like to have a little bit more conversation about
- 9:21Speaker 5: debanking and your engagement with banking.
- 9:24Speaker 3: But the last question I'll ask you is.
- 9:28Speaker 5: With respect to Charlie Kirk, have you all taken any
- 9:32Speaker 5: position since Charlie Kirk?
- 9:35Speaker 6: To Roy, we unequivalently condemned the murder of Charlie Kirk.
- 9:39Speaker 5: What about the listing of Charlie Kirk?
- 9:45Speaker 6: It is our position that TPUSA express his views and
- 9:50Speaker 6: vilifies other people based on immutable characteristics, exposing them to
- 9:56Speaker 6: our listing.
- 10:00Speaker 4: And gentlemen, you just heard it right there, and I
- 10:03Speaker 4: appreciate the questions that that Chip Roy asked. And by
- 10:06Speaker 4: the way, we've got some more coming from Jim Jordan.
- 10:09Speaker 4: Alvida King was testifying as well, and we're going to
- 10:12Speaker 4: play that. This is important for us to hear and
- 10:15Speaker 4: to understand because when I tell you that I come
- 10:19Speaker 4: onto this program and I tell you that there are
- 10:22Speaker 4: targets placed on us as conservatives, and yours truly has
- 10:26Speaker 4: been targeted by the Southern Poverty Law Center, We're not
- 10:31Speaker 4: just blowing smoke here. There are literally targets on our back.
- 10:35Speaker 4: And I am telling you I do blame the Southern
- 10:38Speaker 4: Poverty Law Center for what happened to Charlie Kirk because
- 10:42Speaker 4: they labeled Turning Point USA as a hate group. So look,
- 10:45Speaker 4: here's the deal. Southern Poverty Law Center. They are anti
- 10:48Speaker 4: Jewish and they are anti Christian. This is nothing more
- 10:52Speaker 4: than a front group for radical LGBT activists. That's what's
- 10:56Speaker 4: really going on here. And they have got to be folks.
- 11:01Speaker 4: They have got to be destroyed and dismantled the Southern
- 11:04Speaker 4: Poverty Law Center, and they need to be in jail
- 11:07Speaker 4: for what they have done to many, many, many good
- 11:10Speaker 4: people in this country. All right, here is this is
- 11:13Speaker 4: Congressman Jamie Raskin's the Democrat. He's the This guy is
- 11:17Speaker 4: just off the charts and saying I want you to
- 11:19Speaker 4: take a listen to him, talk of he's a grilling
- 11:21Speaker 4: alvida king.
- 11:22Speaker 6: King. Do you agree that should be shut down?
- 11:25Speaker 8: I will not speak on whether that particular fund should
- 11:28Speaker 8: be I think some of these slush funds that SPLC is.
- 11:33Speaker 5: Using, okay, But my question is about the one proposed
- 11:37Speaker 5: by Todd Blamche It's a yes or no.
- 11:39Speaker 8: I will not answer. Yielding the babies and cutting the
- 11:44Speaker 8: penises off, and so any slush finder.
- 11:48Speaker 4: Good for you, ma'am. She's a national treasurer right there.
- 11:52Speaker 4: But this is what this is what we're having to
- 11:55Speaker 4: deal with the ladies and gentlemen, and I am glad
- 11:57Speaker 4: to see all of this coming out. These people need
- 11:59Speaker 4: to be and they ought to be shamed for what
- 12:02Speaker 4: they have done. Two good and decent people. Now, look,
- 12:07Speaker 4: we've got a lot of ground to cover today and
- 12:09Speaker 4: we have a jam pack show. It is also primary
- 12:12Speaker 4: day in four states, North Dakota, Nevada, Maine, and South Carolina.
- 12:17Speaker 4: We're gonna be talking to Josh Jones, our Republican strategist
- 12:20Speaker 4: I mentioned Tony Perkins is here the very latest on
- 12:23Speaker 4: the steal. And let me tell you something, people, this
- 12:27Speaker 4: is going to be one of the few radio shows
- 12:29Speaker 4: that actually it will actually tell you the way it
- 12:31Speaker 4: is when it comes to California. Kyle Campbell is going
- 12:34Speaker 4: to join us a little bit later on, and then
- 12:37Speaker 4: this hour, Congress from Wan Mary Miller is going to
- 12:39Speaker 4: be here as well as Senator Tommy Tubberville, and he
- 12:44Speaker 4: is going to be naming names in the Senate when
- 12:48Speaker 4: it comes to those that are standing in the way
- 12:50Speaker 4: of President Trump's agenda. All Right, our telephone number nine
- 12:53Speaker 4: oh one two six zero five nine two six. That's
- 12:56Speaker 4: nine oh one two six zero five to nine two six.
- 13:00Speaker 4: This is the Toddstarn Show.
- 13:01Speaker 9: Hey, guys, quick, heads up, this is actually a big one.
- 13:04Speaker 9: We're saying goodbye to something that's helped thousands of families
- 13:07Speaker 9: over the years. The Patriot Power Generator, one of the
- 13:10Speaker 9: best selling solar generators of twenty twenty five, is officially
- 13:14Speaker 9: being retired. And the reason they've just released something even better.
- 13:19Speaker 9: It's called the Patriot Power Generator two two zero zero
- 13:23Speaker 9: X and this is their most powerful model yet. It's
- 13:26Speaker 9: built for real life situations, storms, outages, emergencies when you
- 13:31Speaker 9: need power the most. To launch it. They're doing something
- 13:34Speaker 9: pretty crazy right now. You can get five hundred dollars
- 13:36Speaker 9: off the generator. Plus they're including two free solar panels,
- 13:40Speaker 9: so you can double your charging power right out of
- 13:43Speaker 9: the box. They're also throwing in a heavy duty roll
- 13:46Speaker 9: in go kart, an extended three year warranty, and if
- 13:49Speaker 9: you're a senior or a veteran, you can save an
- 13:52Speaker 9: additional two hundred dollars. And here's the part that really
- 13:55Speaker 9: stands out, because they offer a payment plan. You can
- 13:59Speaker 9: get started today for just two hundred and ninety nine
- 14:02Speaker 9: dollars and it's ships as soon as tomorrow. But this
- 14:05Speaker 9: is a limited launch offer. It's first come, first served,
- 14:08Speaker 9: and these kinds of deals don't stick around, especially with
- 14:12Speaker 9: how unpredictable power outages have been lately. So if you've
- 14:15Speaker 9: ever thought about having backup power for your home, now's
- 14:18Speaker 9: the time to do it. Stay safe, stay prepared, and
- 14:21Speaker 9: don't wait until the lights go out. Go to Starnesprepper
- 14:24Speaker 9: dot com right now to take advantage of this limited
- 14:27Speaker 9: time offer.
- 14:36Speaker 4: All right, welcome back everybody.
- 14:38Speaker 3: This is the Todd.
- 14:39Speaker 4: Starnes radio Show. I want to play some more of this.
- 14:45Speaker 4: This audio coming out of the Southern Poverty Law Center
- 14:48Speaker 4: of thing the hearing today in House Judiciary. Here's the
- 14:51Speaker 4: chairman of the committee, Jim Jordan. Take a listen.
- 14:55Speaker 6: Resolved in the penning allegations against the SPLC.
- 14:58Speaker 3: Seise me if the answer is no, you could say no.
- 15:02Speaker 6: We have asserted that the allegations are false.
- 15:04Speaker 10: Did the Southern Probably Loser use donor money to have
- 15:07Speaker 10: field sources, making donations to extremist group leaders and purchase
- 15:10Speaker 10: materials for cross burnings?
- 15:13Speaker 3: It's a legend, the indictment.
- 15:14Speaker 6: Did it happened We've alleged that those allegations are false.
- 15:18Speaker 10: Did Southern Probablyer use donor dollars to have Field sources
- 15:20Speaker 10: create racist parapernalita that that extremist group sold at rallies.
- 15:26Speaker 6: We've alleged that those allegations are false.
- 15:28Speaker 3: Okay, how about this?
- 15:29Speaker 10: What is Fox Photography?
- 15:37Speaker 6: Mister chairman. What I've learned about Fox Photography I've learned
- 15:41Speaker 6: from council in conversations with counsel.
- 15:44Speaker 3: How about Northwest Technologies?
- 15:47Speaker 6: And they're covered by the attorney client privilege?
- 15:49Speaker 3: I'm not on these are these are? Well?
- 15:51Speaker 10: Did the Southern Probably Law Center establish shell companies to
- 15:56Speaker 10: pay to run the money through to then pay the
- 15:58Speaker 10: field sources?
- 16:00Speaker 6: Again, all of the allegations that you are referring to,
- 16:06Speaker 6: Chairman Jordan will be well, how about this responded to
- 16:10Speaker 6: by our council in the Middle District of Alabama.
- 16:15Speaker 10: Did you pay the field sources directly or did you
- 16:19Speaker 10: pay them through an intermediary?
- 16:24Speaker 6: Mister Chairman Jordan, yep, our council will respond to all
- 16:28Speaker 6: the allegations in the indictment in the case pending in
- 16:32Speaker 6: the Middle District.
- 16:33Speaker 10: Well, there's all these companies that you sent money to
- 16:36Speaker 10: center Investigative Agency, not the CIA, but your CIA, Fox Photography,
- 16:41Speaker 10: Northwest Technologies, Tech Writers Group, Rare Books, Warehouses, Imagery, Linked,
- 16:45Speaker 10: J and J Electronics, and Kelly's Marine.
- 16:48Speaker 3: And I just want to know.
- 16:48Speaker 10: If that was the intermediate shell companies that you guys
- 16:51Speaker 10: set up to pay the field sources.
- 16:53Speaker 3: Is that true? Will the good chairman yield for.
- 16:57Speaker 10: Just I got just a mind and a half and
- 16:58Speaker 10: then I'll be happy to entertain question.
- 17:00Speaker 6: Man Jordan, our council will respond to all the allegations.
- 17:04Speaker 4: All right, let me jump in here and explain what's
- 17:06Speaker 4: going on so you understand. So they were the Southern
- 17:10Speaker 4: Poverty Law Center was setting up these shell organizations making
- 17:14Speaker 4: it look like these were all legitimate payments, when in
- 17:18Speaker 4: fact they were using these shell companies to hide their
- 17:22Speaker 4: payments to these white supremacist groups that they were paying
- 17:26Speaker 4: to go out there and cause all of these issues.
- 17:30Speaker 4: That's the Southern Poverty Law Center. By the way, they refused.
- 17:34Speaker 4: They refused to apologize to Turning Point USA. They refused
- 17:40Speaker 4: to apologize to Alveda King for calling them hate groups.
- 17:44Speaker 4: And here's what they define as a hate group. If
- 17:46Speaker 4: you do not ascribe to the LGBTQIA agenda and their ideology.
- 17:54Speaker 4: That makes you a hate group in the eyes of
- 17:57Speaker 4: the Southern Poverty Law Center. That's what's going on today,
- 18:01Speaker 4: ladies and gentlemen, and it's just unbelievable. Our telephone number
- 18:05Speaker 4: is nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 18:09Speaker 4: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six. So,
- 18:13Speaker 4: if you're a conservative for your pro family, if you're
- 18:16Speaker 4: a Christian, the Southern Poverty Law Center thinks you are
- 18:21Speaker 4: a bunch of homophobic bigots. That's that's what they think.
- 18:25Speaker 4: That's who they are. Well, look, coming up, we're going
- 18:27Speaker 4: to be talking to Congressman Mary Miller out of Illinois.
- 18:31Speaker 4: We're also going to get hurt away and I'm curious
- 18:33Speaker 4: to know her take on the Chicago Bears packing up
- 18:37Speaker 4: and heading to Indiana. Wow, what a loss that is
- 18:41Speaker 4: for the state of Illinois. But now Indiana picking up
- 18:44Speaker 4: an NFL team, And we'll get the very latest from

- 20:19Speaker 4: to our good friend from the great state of Illinois.
- 20:22Speaker 4: Congressman Mary Miller, Congresswoman. Hope you're doing well today.
- 20:27Speaker 11: I am thank you for having me.
- 20:29Speaker 4: You know, a lot of ground we need to cover here,
- 20:31Speaker 4: but I've got to start with your reaction to Chicago
- 20:36Speaker 4: losing their NFL team, the Chicago Bears moving to Hammond, Indiana.
- 20:43Speaker 4: I'm curious to know your thoughts about the big move.
- 20:47Speaker 11: Well, we are from big Chicago Bears fans, so we're
- 20:50Speaker 11: sad about it. But it's just another picture, another example
- 20:57Speaker 11: of the direction THATOI is going, and it is not good.
- 21:03Speaker 11: I wish people would wake up and quit pushing the
- 21:06Speaker 11: blue button for failed politicians. JB. Pritsker is a failed governor.
- 21:11Speaker 11: He's a liar. He's crushing us with taxes. He has
- 21:15Speaker 11: opened Illinois up to sanctuary for illegal and terrible criminals
- 21:20Speaker 11: as who they side with. And you know, the people
- 21:24Speaker 11: downstate are tired of it.
- 21:26Speaker 4: It's unfortunate and it's entirely preventable. I mean that the
- 21:29Speaker 4: Bears wanted to say they wanted to stay in Chicago.
- 21:32Speaker 4: But again, if you've got an anti if you've got
- 21:35Speaker 4: an anti business, pro tax lawmaker in the governor's mansion,
- 21:40Speaker 4: well you know what you get what you vote for.
- 21:44Speaker 11: It's not just JB. Prisker, it is all the Illinois
- 21:48Speaker 11: Democrats in lockstep with him have driven out jobs, opportunity,
- 21:53Speaker 11: and now all obviously cultural institutions that have defined Chicago.
- 21:58Speaker 4: I've got to I've got to switch gears real quick again.
- 22:01Speaker 4: A lot of ground to cover, and I know you
- 22:02Speaker 4: don't have a lot of time, Congress women, but congratulations,
- 22:06Speaker 4: you have had an incredible piece of legislation moved through
- 22:09Speaker 4: the House, and it's addressing these scams that are happening
- 22:15Speaker 4: in these childcare programs. First of all, I want you
- 22:18Speaker 4: to tell us about the Stop Childcare Scams Act. And
- 22:21Speaker 4: I'm just curious about some of the stuff you guys uncovered.
- 22:26Speaker 11: It's it's wild and the Governor Government Accountability Office is
- 22:32Speaker 11: estimating that the amount of fraud just in one year
- 22:37Speaker 11: in our country could be up to a half of
- 22:39Speaker 11: the trillion dollars and their con taxpayers and workers are
- 22:44Speaker 11: being abused. And so now we have an administration that
- 22:47Speaker 11: is going after this fraud and I'm actually excited about it.
- 22:51Speaker 4: Well, it's uh, this is a positive move and it's
- 22:55Speaker 4: a move in really a step in the right direction.
- 22:58Speaker 4: To Congress woman, And again, when you look at the fraud,
- 23:00Speaker 4: here's what you guess me. And I'm just speculating here,
- 23:03Speaker 4: a little conjecture, but it seems to me, if you
- 23:05Speaker 4: eliminate all of the fraud out there, we might even
- 23:09Speaker 4: be able to I don't know, lower people's taxes across
- 23:12Speaker 4: the country.
- 23:13Speaker 11: Yes, and my bill and you asked about that, is
- 23:17Speaker 11: that states that will not cooperate are going to lose
- 23:20Speaker 11: their federal funding. And that's the only way to get
- 23:22Speaker 11: states like Illinois to cooperate. They're refusing to release their
- 23:26Speaker 11: snap rolls so we can make sure that the people
- 23:30Speaker 11: are that are collecting are legitimate recipients. They were refusing that,
- 23:35Speaker 11: so the federal government is doing Illinois. Of course, a
- 23:39Speaker 11: liberal judge is sitting on that case. But if they
- 23:42Speaker 11: refuse to release their voter roles, we can cut off
- 23:44Speaker 11: funding for their elections. And we're just going to have
- 23:47Speaker 11: to cut off funding and compel them to cooperate.
- 23:51Speaker 4: I noticed on your social media feed you're pretty fired
- 23:53Speaker 4: up over what's happening in the Senate. I think we
- 23:55Speaker 4: all are. A congress Woman, it's just absolutely disgusting and reprehensible.
- 24:00Speaker 4: The Senate Majority Leader John Thune is standing by the
- 24:04Speaker 4: parliamentarian who is really treating the administration. They're they're treating
- 24:10Speaker 4: Republicans so horribly this I think I think the average
- 24:15Speaker 4: person looks at this and they're like, why in the
- 24:17Speaker 4: world are Senate Republicans not playing hardball here?
- 24:22Speaker 11: I know Romarian is not lested official, she's not accountable
- 24:28Speaker 11: to the American people. She was put in a position
- 24:32Speaker 11: decades ago by a Democrat, and she's warning busn't a
- 24:36Speaker 11: Trump's agenda. I think she should be fired.
- 24:39Speaker 4: Well, no doubt about that, and we'll we'll just see.
- 24:42Speaker 4: I just do not understand what the Senate is trying
- 24:45Speaker 4: to do. And the reality here is they're making it
- 24:47Speaker 4: very difficult for Republicans across the country to get re
- 24:50Speaker 4: elected in November as they continue to stall, you know,
- 24:54Speaker 4: the president's agenda here, and when you look at what's happening,
- 24:57Speaker 4: for example, in California, would the Save America Act have
- 25:01Speaker 4: prevented what's going down right now? No, not necessarily, but
- 25:05Speaker 4: at least we would have a pretty good idea of
- 25:08Speaker 4: whether or not, you know, legal citizens were actually voting
- 25:11Speaker 4: in the elections.
- 25:14Speaker 11: I hope American people get wrapped up to go out
- 25:17Speaker 11: and vote because the Democrats oppose everything that would cause
- 25:21Speaker 11: our country to fight, like borders, election of energy. In
- 25:27Speaker 11: these things the Democrats have been for, They've opposed protecting
- 25:33Speaker 11: our girls in sports in the private spaces. They oppose
- 25:37Speaker 11: parental rights on the right of pearance to direct their
- 25:40Speaker 11: children's education. They are the party of bad ideas for
- 25:43Speaker 11: average Americans. People, Please do not be passive. Get out
- 25:48Speaker 11: to the polls and vote. But more than that, be
- 25:50Speaker 11: a force multiplier and get your neighbors, your co workers,
- 25:53Speaker 11: and your family rapped up to go vote too.
- 25:56Speaker 4: Yeah, well said all right, Conresson and Mary Miller, Chicago fan,
- 26:01Speaker 4: are you gonna be Are you gonna?
- 26:02Speaker 3: Is it a long?
- 26:03Speaker 4: I'm not familiar with the geographic location there. Are you
- 26:07Speaker 4: guys gonna still go down to the games now that
- 26:09Speaker 4: they're in Indiana?
- 26:11Speaker 11: Well we are Stealthis.
- 26:15Speaker 12: U probably not?
- 26:16Speaker 4: All right?
- 26:17Speaker 6: Well?
- 26:17Speaker 4: Sorry you got a little garbled there with the phone connection,
- 26:20Speaker 4: But congress From and Mary Miller, thank you again so
- 26:23Speaker 4: much for joining us here on the show today. Nine
- 26:26Speaker 4: oh one two six zero five two six is our
- 26:29Speaker 4: telephone over? That's nine oh one two six zero five
- 26:32Speaker 4: nine two six. Dylan. I sent you some audio, and
- 26:37Speaker 4: I should have apologized ahead of time the voices you're
- 26:42Speaker 4: about to hear. I know you're a big musical guy,
- 26:45Speaker 4: and we had a corral number. This is the This
- 26:50Speaker 4: is not, by the way, the church choir at James
- 26:52Speaker 4: Tallerico's congregation. So that's at first we thought that's what
- 26:57Speaker 4: this was, but it is. That is not what it is.
- 27:00Speaker 4: But again, the Democrats are having a hard time recruiting men,
- 27:04Speaker 4: and they're trying to do all these things. Now, they
- 27:07Speaker 4: sent James Tallerco to every barbecue join in Texas, and
- 27:11Speaker 4: they've got him eating like brisket and the Brontosaurus ribs
- 27:15Speaker 4: and all that kind of stuff. And so now, just
- 27:18Speaker 4: to help, I guess, attract more men to the Democrat Party,
- 27:25Speaker 4: the Los Angeles Gay Men's Chorus put together this little ditty.
- 27:30Speaker 4: Take a listen. Are those all men? Okay? I can't
- 28:27Speaker 4: the video which we have on our social media, our
- 28:29Speaker 4: Facebook page, Dylan, the choreography needs a little work, Oh yeah,
- 28:33Speaker 4: for sure. Yeah for guys. First of all, I didn't
- 28:35Speaker 4: know guys could move certain body parts that way.
- 28:38Speaker 13: I don't think they should be allowed to if I
- 28:42Speaker 13: was making the choir rules, I think The one benefit
- 28:45Speaker 13: maybe to having a gay men's choir is that you
- 28:47Speaker 13: don't have to seek out women for the high parts. Wow,
- 28:51Speaker 13: that's I couldn't tell.
- 28:53Speaker 4: You couldn't tell. It was like it was like the gal.
- 28:57Speaker 4: What the what's her name? Darlene Doris Beth? Yeah, thank you.
- 29:00Speaker 13: Beth was probably her life.
- 29:02Speaker 4: Yeah, with the beard and the beard, she would have
- 29:05Speaker 4: fit right in with that bunch.
- 29:07Speaker 13: Give her a solo.
- 29:08Speaker 4: I don't understand the point that they're saying that they're making.
- 29:11Speaker 4: They said they produced the song to make a statement,
- 29:13Speaker 4: and I'm wondering, what is it They're not going to
- 29:15Speaker 4: take anymore. That's That's what I don't get. What does
- 29:18Speaker 4: that mean? Yeah, I mean it's because I'm just gonna
- 29:21Speaker 4: tell you, Dylan, I think they are taking it. Nine
- 29:26Speaker 4: oh one two six zero five nine two six. That's
- 29:29Speaker 4: nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
- 29:33Speaker 4: This is the Todd Starting Show. All right, welcome back, everybody.
- 29:45Speaker 4: This is the Todd Strange Radio Show. Happy to have
- 29:47Speaker 4: you with us today. I gotta tell you it is.
- 29:51Speaker 4: What's happening in the Senate I think has enraged every
- 29:54Speaker 4: freedom loving patriot in the nation. And I'm especially glad.
- 29:58Speaker 4: And let me just say that we've had a lot
- 30:00Speaker 4: of people running for the Senate in these primaries. They've
- 30:04Speaker 4: been coming on this show. I ask every single one
- 30:06Speaker 4: of them, does the Majority leader does he need to
- 30:10Speaker 4: step aside? Does he need to be removed if he's
- 30:13Speaker 4: not gonna nuke the filibuster and shove through the Save
- 30:17Speaker 4: America Act? And none of these people are willing to
- 30:21Speaker 4: say anything about any of the Republicans who are standing
- 30:24Speaker 4: in the way of the president's agenda. Well, my next
- 30:27Speaker 4: guest is not one of those guys. He is one
- 30:30Speaker 4: of the very few members of the Senate willing to
- 30:33Speaker 4: speak out and name names. Our good friend, he's going
- 30:36Speaker 4: to be the next governor of the great state of Alabama,
- 30:39Speaker 4: our next door neighbors here in Tennessee. We're talking about
- 30:42Speaker 4: Senator Coach Tommy Tuberville. Coach. Good to have you with
- 30:45Speaker 4: us today.
- 30:47Speaker 14: God, how are you You.
- 30:48Speaker 4: Know I'm doing good, Senator, And remind me I've got
- 30:52Speaker 4: to tell you something about Interstate twenty two between Memphis
- 30:55Speaker 4: and Birmingham and before we before we wrap this up,
- 31:00Speaker 4: but I am so impressed, and I've just got to
- 31:03Speaker 4: say thank you for standing up and giving all of
- 31:05Speaker 4: us a voice here with your frustration of what's happening
- 31:09Speaker 4: in the Senate right now.
- 31:12Speaker 15: Well, thank you, and let's just start off with this.
- 31:16Speaker 15: This place is broken. Our federal government's broken. You know
- 31:20Speaker 15: when when you're being defraud at one hundred and ten
- 31:23Speaker 15: million dollars an hour, and that's the information we're getting.
- 31:26Speaker 15: That's a tree and dollars a year. Something's going wrong
- 31:29Speaker 15: and it's got to change. This is not the same
- 31:32Speaker 15: federal government we had thirty forty years ago. This is
- 31:34Speaker 15: totally different. People have caught on what's going on up here.
- 31:39Speaker 15: There's no accountability, and it's got to change. And I
- 31:43Speaker 15: keep hearing about, well, we got the tradition of the Senate,
- 31:46Speaker 15: but we have filibuster. We don't federalize elections. I understand
- 31:50Speaker 15: that maybe twenty five thirty years ago. But we're forty
- 31:53Speaker 15: three and in debt. We're sinking as fast as you
- 31:56Speaker 15: can ever imagine. We've got so much dissension up here.
- 32:00Speaker 15: Now we have the House, the Senate, and the White
- 32:02Speaker 15: House to change things around. People voted on us to
- 32:05Speaker 15: change things around. Almost eighty million people voted for President Trump.
- 32:10Speaker 15: Enough enough, let's make America great again, But what do
- 32:12Speaker 15: we do. We got a huge majority in the Senate
- 32:16Speaker 15: that wants to bust the philibusher, that wants to stave
- 32:19Speaker 15: of America Act. But we've got four or five that don't.
- 32:22Speaker 15: And to me, that's wrong. You should go with your party,
- 32:26Speaker 15: vote with your party. Don't give me this, Oh I'm
- 32:29Speaker 15: voting for because of this or that. No, we need
- 32:34Speaker 15: secure elections. To look at California, it is a disaster.
- 32:38Speaker 15: They stole it from President Trump in twenty twenty. We
- 32:41Speaker 15: know how it happened. Is all out there in black
- 32:43Speaker 15: and white. We act like there's nothing going on in
- 32:45Speaker 15: this country that things are going great. Something's got to change, Todd,
- 32:49Speaker 15: or we're not going to survive.
- 32:51Speaker 4: Have you had any look, because you know, a part
- 32:53Speaker 4: of me wants to give the majority of leader the
- 32:55Speaker 4: benefit of the down here. But he's not publicly calling
- 32:58Speaker 4: out the senator. He's you know, Tom tell Us, Berkowski, McConnell, Collins.
- 33:02Speaker 4: Now you've got what Cassidy and I'm sure there are
- 33:05Speaker 4: more out there. But have you had any conversations with him?
- 33:10Speaker 4: Does he understand how angry the American people are right
- 33:13Speaker 4: now at the Senate?
- 33:15Speaker 15: Uh? Yeah, we've all talked. We talked as a group,
- 33:19Speaker 15: and we you know, last week it was all about
- 33:22Speaker 15: we've got a fund, DHS, we got a fund DHS. Well,
- 33:25Speaker 15: we just happened hav an amendment and they're about to
- 33:27Speaker 15: stay with America Act. First time. People had to show
- 33:30Speaker 15: their colors, so to speak, and vote for it, and
- 33:32Speaker 15: we had four people that didn't vote for it, and hey,
- 33:36Speaker 15: I put it out there and tweeted out, well, these
- 33:38Speaker 15: four people voted against it. Uh, but it was a
- 33:40Speaker 15: public vote anyway, so I didn't make a difference. So
- 33:42Speaker 15: I put it out there. People knew how people voted,
- 33:46Speaker 15: and they just I don't I don't know, Todd, I
- 33:48Speaker 15: just don't understand it. If the Democrats ever did this,
- 33:51Speaker 15: my gosh, Chuck Schumer would have would have pulled ever
- 33:55Speaker 15: dime from them.
- 33:56Speaker 14: Uh.
- 33:57Speaker 15: You know, he runs it with us with with a
- 34:01Speaker 15: iron fist over there and and probably does some things
- 34:05Speaker 15: that are bad on our side. We give everybody the
- 34:08Speaker 15: opportunity to make their own decision for their own people.
- 34:11Speaker 15: The problem is, uh, you know, we continue to do that,
- 34:15Speaker 15: we're going to lose the next election. We're gonna they're
- 34:19Speaker 15: gonna bust the filibuster and we will never get the
- 34:22Speaker 15: government back again. It'll be open. So we got to
- 34:25Speaker 15: make a decision on what we're going to do. And
- 34:28Speaker 15: again it's it's just very few people up here. But again,
- 34:31Speaker 15: I think you've got to be accountable for you vote.
- 34:34Speaker 4: I do too, uh, And I'm glad that you're you're
- 34:37Speaker 4: you're speaking out on this. So we've got Senator Tommy
- 34:40Speaker 4: Tuberville with us on the Patriot Mobile news maker line
- 34:43Speaker 4: right now. You know this other crazy story from the
- 34:45Speaker 4: House Committee on Oversight and Government Forum. This is a
- 34:49Speaker 4: two hundred page staff report. Is this true that Tim
- 34:52Speaker 4: Waltz's staff actually hired private investigators to go after these whistleblowers?
- 34:59Speaker 15: Oh, I haven't heard that, but you don't count anything
- 35:03Speaker 15: out against them. To be honest with you, if you've
- 35:05Speaker 15: stolen tens of billions of dollars, you're going to try
- 35:09Speaker 15: to shut people up because you know, some of these
- 35:11Speaker 15: people ought to go to jail, to be honest with you.
- 35:13Speaker 15: You know, Kim Waltz and the Attorney General, the people
- 35:16Speaker 15: all that just absolutely had no oversight whatsoever. And again
- 35:21Speaker 15: it goes back to what we're talking about earlier. We
- 35:23Speaker 15: got to take our country back and you can't take
- 35:25Speaker 15: it back. But just saying okay, we'll want to be
- 35:27Speaker 15: a majority in the Senate, in the House, the White House,
- 35:30Speaker 15: you're not going to do anything with it. Does it
- 35:32Speaker 15: make any difference we've had We've had the Senate now
- 35:35Speaker 15: for in the House, in the White House for a
- 35:38Speaker 15: year and a half. We've got one thing done to
- 35:39Speaker 15: one big beautiful bill. Now we did the appropriation bills
- 35:42Speaker 15: and finally.
- 35:43Speaker 14: We got that done.
- 35:44Speaker 15: But again, this is not personal. This has nothing to
- 35:48Speaker 15: do with personalities or anybody up here. This has to
- 35:51Speaker 15: do with people voting for the American people.
- 35:54Speaker 4: And I've got about sixty seconds here and again I
- 35:57Speaker 4: am so glad that you're co sharing this help Education
- 36:01Speaker 4: Task Force again rooting out fraud on the education. I mean,
- 36:04Speaker 4: the fraud is just insane here, that's terrible.
- 36:08Speaker 15: You know, the fraud of the grants, the pail grants
- 36:12Speaker 15: for one thing. You know, I know from a fact,
- 36:14Speaker 15: a lot of these kids go to these schools. They
- 36:16Speaker 15: sign up for pail grants and they signed up for college.
- 36:19Speaker 15: Before they pay the college, they gets pail grant and
- 36:20Speaker 15: they're going down the road and they never can class.
- 36:23Speaker 15: It is there is no oversight we just throw money
- 36:26Speaker 15: out there and try to keep everybody satisfied where they
- 36:31Speaker 15: get re elected, and then at the end of the day,
- 36:34Speaker 15: look where we're at. We are a sinking skip. Thank
- 36:37Speaker 15: god for President Trump and what he's done to try
- 36:40Speaker 15: to rein in some of this. Doctor Oz, Education Secretary,
- 36:46Speaker 15: everybody's trying the best they can do to rain this in.
- 36:49Speaker 15: The only thing I think that we've got a chance
- 36:51Speaker 15: on here is AI. I think AI is going to
- 36:54Speaker 15: really give us an opportunity to update all of our
- 36:58Speaker 15: systems to where we can have a little bit of
- 37:00Speaker 15: oversight from state to state with all this money going in.
- 37:03Speaker 15: But if, but if people like Kim Waltson and Gavin
- 37:06Speaker 15: Newsom could care less about oversight, these people are gonna
- 37:10Speaker 15: They're gonna steal the American people bind.
- 37:12Speaker 4: Blind and no doubt about it.
- 37:14Speaker 6: Uh.
- 37:15Speaker 4: Look, Senator, we've got I've got about thirty seconds. You're
- 37:17Speaker 4: a moment of personal privilege. I drive I twenty two
- 37:20Speaker 4: from Memphis to Birmingham on a regular basis. We got
- 37:23Speaker 4: a we got a cracker barrel at a huddle house.
- 37:27Speaker 4: When you become governor, can we get a BUCkies? Is
- 37:29Speaker 4: that there is that within your power? Your scope of power.
- 37:33Speaker 15: Oh, that'd be great. When I love a BUCkies. It's
- 37:36Speaker 15: hard to get into them because they're so popular, but
- 37:39Speaker 15: it's yeah, I tell you I twenty two was great.
- 37:41Speaker 15: You know, it's connected Mississippi on the west side with Alabama,
- 37:45Speaker 15: and uh that there'll be a lot of growth over there.
- 37:47Speaker 15: You're gonna get a lot more than just a huddle
- 37:49Speaker 15: house and a cracker barrel.
- 37:50Speaker 7: Caught up front.
- 37:51Speaker 4: That good stuff. Well, I'm glad to hear that. After
- 37:53Speaker 4: two polo. It's a long way to Birmingham.
- 37:56Speaker 15: So it is a lot of a lot of pine trees.
- 37:59Speaker 4: Yes, yes, indeed. Well, look, Senator, we're gonna get you
- 38:02Speaker 4: back on between now an election day. We're excited that
- 38:04Speaker 4: you're coming back home to the South, and we're excited
- 38:07Speaker 4: about the great things you're gonna be doing in that

- 40:32Speaker 4: went up to the We got a lot of people
- 40:33Speaker 4: in Maine, all their reporters, and this woman was in
- 40:37Speaker 4: Baha Bah and she said, I'd vote for a door
- 40:41Speaker 4: knob before I'd vote for Susan Collins. Those The woman said,
- 40:47Speaker 4: I mean, look, you can't. Oh, by the way, Dylan,
- 40:50Speaker 4: guess what I did yesterday? What it is terrible? I
- 40:54Speaker 4: was I was talking to was I talking to Beth Our,
- 40:58Speaker 4: one of our colleagues over at New and there is
- 41:02Speaker 4: I usually I like to drive home through there's a
- 41:05Speaker 4: nice quiet path to go to my home and it's
- 41:09Speaker 4: you know, the big homes and it's a lot of trees.
- 41:12Speaker 4: But then there's an overpass right. It's like you're in
- 41:16Speaker 4: a neighborhood. There's an overpass, which is a bridge, and
- 41:19Speaker 4: then there's the interstate below, and you've got all of
- 41:23Speaker 4: these old libtards and they're out there every single day
- 41:28Speaker 4: holding these signs no kings and all this other kind
- 41:32Speaker 4: of stuff. And they they usually wrap up their protest
- 41:34Speaker 4: about the time I'm driving over because they got to
- 41:37Speaker 4: get to the Bob Evans for the early Bird Special
- 41:41Speaker 4: and they're all either morbidly obese or elderly, a lot
- 41:46Speaker 4: of walkers. So anyway, they're there and so everybody's like
- 41:50Speaker 4: honk honk, and they're like waving. And of course on
- 41:53Speaker 4: the Cadillac, I've installed this big, like you know, eighteen wheeler.
- 41:58Speaker 4: And so anyway, whenever I'm driving through, Yesdray, I did this.
- 42:01Speaker 4: I'm like, Beth, hold on a second. I had her
- 42:03Speaker 4: on the you know, you got the phone hooked up
- 42:05Speaker 4: and you know you're talking. By the way, did you
- 42:07Speaker 4: know that people can hear you if you're in the
- 42:10Speaker 4: parking lot talking, you can actually hear the conversations like
- 42:13Speaker 4: six cars over.
- 42:14Speaker 13: Yeah, I haven't told you this. I've I've heard several
- 42:16Speaker 13: conversations in your car jeez.
- 42:18Speaker 4: That's not good. That's not good. So anyway, what we're
- 42:23Speaker 4: talking about. Yeah, so I'm driving, I'm like, I see
- 42:25Speaker 4: them and you could. Usually you can smell them before
- 42:28Speaker 4: you can see him. It's like a mix of like
- 42:31Speaker 4: sweat and ben gay and lavender mothballs. Yeah, old people smell.
- 42:38Speaker 4: It's old people.
- 42:39Speaker 13: It's sweaters.
- 42:41Speaker 4: So here I'm driving up and they're like, yay, they thought,
- 42:45Speaker 4: you know, they thought I was one of their supporters.
- 42:47Speaker 4: And I'm like, boo boo. Just kept on going wo wong, wow.
- 42:57Speaker 4: That's me driving back.
- 42:58Speaker 13: But I saw those people as well. I don't know.
- 43:00Speaker 13: I had to go to Uhura, our great trader Joe's,
- 43:04Speaker 13: to get some groceries.
- 43:05Speaker 4: They're in, Yes, they're in Germantown, Tennessee.
- 43:08Speaker 13: Yeah, And so I passed by them. I saw them. Yeah,
- 43:11Speaker 13: they're all very old. I don't know where's the young
- 43:14Speaker 13: protesters out there? What are they? What do we do
- 43:15Speaker 13: in Memphis? Come on?
- 43:17Speaker 4: So, I don't know if this is this may be
- 43:19Speaker 4: just a Tennessee thing, but I think, you know, at
- 43:21Speaker 4: least in at least in the Memphis area, these No
- 43:24Speaker 4: Kings protesters. I don't know why they're still out there.
- 43:27Speaker 4: But you're right, and they're they're causing traffic problems. They're
- 43:30Speaker 4: causing mayhem on the sidewalks.
- 43:32Speaker 9: You know.
- 43:32Speaker 4: They've got their strollers and their wheelchairs and their little
- 43:35Speaker 4: you know, walkers, and all of them have dogs. And
- 43:41Speaker 4: then you've got the morbidly obese people that are just
- 43:44Speaker 4: blocking the sidewalk with their girth, you know, and that's
- 43:47Speaker 4: all that's a fire hazard.
- 43:49Speaker 13: Yeah, it's a it's an unprofessional to be a protest.
- 43:52Speaker 13: I mean, stomach's hanging into the road. Really not not
- 43:55Speaker 13: a great look.
- 43:56Speaker 4: I almost clipped somebody with my little rearview mirror because
- 43:59Speaker 4: they had like their gut was sticking out beyond the sidewalk.
- 44:01Speaker 13: That's a real problem.
- 44:03Speaker 4: What do you do? And they're not getting exercise, that's
- 44:06Speaker 4: what concerns.
- 44:07Speaker 13: No standing there, you know, you have to at least pace,
- 44:11Speaker 13: you know, there's it's a big sidewalk.
- 44:13Speaker 4: I think a lot of these people, though the elderly,
- 44:15Speaker 4: are at least I'm just speculating here, and this is
- 44:18Speaker 4: conjecture because like, why would an old person want to
- 44:21Speaker 4: do this right? Why would they do Maybe they don't
- 44:23Speaker 4: know they're doing it right. I mean, these people are
- 44:26Speaker 4: like senile. Maybe they've got dementia or I mean just
- 44:30Speaker 4: you know, their minds have been turned to mush. You know,
- 44:32Speaker 4: they're kind of like, you know, zombies, like wrinkled old zombies.
- 44:37Speaker 4: And I don't know. They're sitting over in the community center.
- 44:42Speaker 4: They're playing what Cards or Majong. Oh, by the way,
- 44:45Speaker 4: did you know Majong is like a big thing now
- 44:47Speaker 4: among young people.
- 44:49Speaker 13: I have not gotten into Majong.
- 44:51Speaker 4: Did you know yet? No, it is like a huge
- 44:53Speaker 4: thing now among young people.
- 44:54Speaker 13: Okay, so, but.
- 44:55Speaker 4: They're playing these games, maybe they're doing some like knitting,
- 44:58Speaker 4: and somebody shows up from the d n C or
- 45:01Speaker 4: something and says, hey, you guys want to go get
- 45:05Speaker 4: some ice cream? And they're like, I have some ice cream.
- 45:09Speaker 4: I want some ice cream. Yeah, And they're like, all right,
- 45:14Speaker 4: let's go get some ice cream. And in reality, they're
- 45:17Speaker 4: giving like a protest sign and they're just dumping them
- 45:20Speaker 4: on these street corners.
- 45:22Speaker 13: So you think this is some form of elder abuse.
- 45:24Speaker 13: Elder abuse, Yeah, big time, I can see that.
- 45:27Speaker 4: D NC elder abuse.
- 45:29Speaker 13: Yeah, they always play them buy food places so they
- 45:31Speaker 13: get close enough to where they they're convinced that they're there.
- 45:35Speaker 13: But then they put a big sign in front of them.
- 45:37Speaker 4: I'm just concerned they're going to wander into traffic. Yeah,
- 45:39Speaker 4: they don't have it all there. The front porch light's on,
- 45:43Speaker 4: but nobody's home. You know what I mean.
- 45:47Speaker 13: Exactly.
- 45:47Speaker 4: I'm just saying. So anyway, I just I kind of
- 45:51Speaker 4: feel bad. So I'm like, Beth, hold on a second,
- 45:55Speaker 4: boo boo, get a job. All right, Beth, what were
- 46:01Speaker 4: we talking about?
- 46:02Speaker 13: Dude?
- 46:03Speaker 4: It literally was like that, I'm gonna give him a
- 46:06Speaker 4: heart attack. You know, I could have. I feel bad
- 46:11Speaker 4: because I again, I should not have done that. I
- 46:15Speaker 4: felt bad about it afterwards. Well not, I wouldn't feel
- 46:20Speaker 4: sad at all. Let's go to Anna in Delanaga, Georgia.

- 47:07Speaker 16: be sur bride. I've got kidds Mary.
- 47:09Speaker 4: I remember years ago, before I got rid of cable,
- 47:13Speaker 4: I used to used to scroll through the used to
- 47:18Speaker 4: scroll through the TV channels. DYLI were you trying to
- 47:21Speaker 4: tell me something?
- 47:21Speaker 13: You said? Mary? I think you meant Anna.
- 47:23Speaker 4: Oh, Anna, I am so sorry. Anna, I was going
- 47:26Speaker 4: to get to Mayor. I was gonna mention Mary to say,
- 47:28Speaker 4: but Anna. Back in the back, before I got rid
- 47:31Speaker 4: of cable, you channel surf and you see on PBS
- 47:34Speaker 4: they'd be doing these musical specials like Peter Paula Barry.
- 47:37Speaker 4: Remember that. Yeah, I guarantee, I guarantee you Peter, Paula

- 48:02Speaker 16: oh yeah, they're out there, and I will tell you
- 48:04Speaker 16: they're probably backing a lot of this insanity out there.
- 48:07Speaker 11: I'm not kidding.
- 48:08Speaker 4: Look, I've got no doubt about that. Anna, and I
- 48:10Speaker 4: feel bad for them because it's hot. You know, these
- 48:13Speaker 4: are people are not in good health. You know, I'm
- 48:15Speaker 4: afraid they're going to be dropping like flies.
- 48:18Speaker 16: Well that's because wow, well I'm just saying.
- 48:32Speaker 4: This is true. We don't know what they've been smoking.
- 48:36Speaker 4: That is a fair point. Yeah, all right, Anna, could
- 48:41Speaker 4: hear from you a bunch of old farts from the sixties.
- 48:46Speaker 4: It's a fair assessment, it really is. And they're just
- 48:49Speaker 4: they're living there, they're living their youth again. What can
- 48:51Speaker 4: you say? Nine oh one two six zero five nine
- 48:54Speaker 4: two six. Let's go to Selmer, Tennessee. Danny is listening
- 48:58Speaker 4: to us on k w A n hind Danny, what's
- 49:01Speaker 4: on your mind today?
- 49:03Speaker 12: Hey, good afternoon, sir. Got y'all got me laughing here,
- 49:07Speaker 12: so trying to remember what I was gonna say.
- 49:08Speaker 4: But, uh, Democrats are narcissists, Danny, that's what you were
- 49:11Speaker 4: gonna tell us.
- 49:13Speaker 12: I know, I'm on it. Actually I didn't. That's a
- 49:16Speaker 12: summary of it. But actually, if you're unfamiliar with what
- 49:20Speaker 12: a narcissist is, I've known a few, so anyone can
- 49:23Speaker 12: google it and look up what a narcissist is, and
- 49:27Speaker 12: I've known a few, and what they do is they will.
- 49:30Speaker 12: They do a lot of things wrong. They won't admit
- 49:33Speaker 12: the truth, they'll fabricate anything to cover up what they're doing,
- 49:37Speaker 12: and they will accuse you of everything they are doing
- 49:41Speaker 12: wrong and never admit that they're doing wrong.
- 49:44Speaker 4: This is it's like, it's like you're defining the Democrat Party.
- 49:48Speaker 12: Well, my point is, if you recall, I'm sure you do,
- 49:52Speaker 12: they were accusing people of being you know, Nazis and so.
- 49:56Speaker 14: On and so forth.
- 49:57Speaker 12: Well, now they're trying to get i'll call an implied
- 50:02Speaker 12: Nazi sympathizer with the tattoos and stuff in office, And
- 50:06Speaker 12: it just makes me think narcissist. And I think it
- 50:10Speaker 12: should be renamed from the Democratic Party to the Narcissistic Party.
- 50:14Speaker 12: I think it would be more appropriate. It's just what
- 50:17Speaker 12: I've been thinking for a while. The more I learned
- 50:19Speaker 12: about narcissist and been around him, and the more I
- 50:22Speaker 12: see how Democrats are acting, it's just the same. There's
- 50:27Speaker 12: synonymous Democrat narcissist. It's synonymous, Danny.
- 50:31Speaker 4: I think you need to hang a shingle out because
- 50:34Speaker 4: you have just you've just psychoanalyzed the entire Democrat Party platform.
- 50:40Speaker 4: Good job, sir, Well you have a blessed day, all right,
- 50:44Speaker 4: doctor Danny. That's what we're gonna start calling you, doctor Danny.
- 50:48Speaker 4: Psychoanalyzing the Democrat says that they need to be called

- 52:50Speaker 4: to share this information with you. President Trump just posting
- 52:53Speaker 4: this and it looks like things are going to be
- 52:55Speaker 4: heating up in the Middle East. Reading from the President,
- 52:59Speaker 4: so true, social I've just been informed by our great
- 53:02Speaker 4: military that last night, the Iranians shot down one of
- 53:05Speaker 4: our highly sophisticated Apache helicopters while patrolling over the Strait
- 53:10Speaker 4: of Hormuz. There were two pilots involved. Both are safe
- 53:14Speaker 4: and uninjured. Nevertheless, the United States must respond to this attack.
- 53:21Speaker 4: Ladies and gentlemen. I have a thought here, and I'm
- 53:23Speaker 4: curious to hear your take on my opinion on this.
- 53:27Speaker 4: It seems to me that we need to go shock
- 53:29Speaker 4: in awe on Iran and just put this nation out
- 53:33Speaker 4: of business. Tired of the negotiations, tired of all the ceasefires.
- 53:39Speaker 4: You can't trust these people, and if they're shooting at
- 53:43Speaker 4: our military choppers, and then clearly they shot down one
- 53:45Speaker 4: of our choppers last night, then we need to We
- 53:49Speaker 4: need to unleash hell fire and brimstone on the Iranians.
- 53:55Speaker 4: Nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six
- 53:57Speaker 4: our number, that's nine oh one two six zero five
- 54:00Speaker 4: nine two six. Let's go to Daytona Beach, Florida, Gary
- 54:03Speaker 4: listening to us on w OCA wants to talk about Maine. Hi, Gary,
- 54:08Speaker 4: what's going on?
- 54:09Speaker 14: Yeah? The first time is you're absolutely right about the
- 54:13Speaker 14: unleashing of let Pete Hudge turn him loose and let
- 54:18Speaker 14: him go ahead and finished that the I called in
- 54:22Speaker 14: about I find it ironic with Rocanna how he is
- 54:27Speaker 14: taking a page from Barack Obama on the red line.
- 54:31Speaker 14: And that is that when Platner first announced and was gaining,
- 54:36Speaker 14: uh making money up there and and running, ro Conna
- 54:40Speaker 14: was asked, you have a red line on supporting him,
- 54:45Speaker 14: and he said, yes, I have a red line, and
- 54:47Speaker 14: there cannot be any abuse, uh, you know, physical abuse
- 54:52Speaker 14: or any abuse. And then when Rocanna was confronted with
- 54:56Speaker 14: the fact that a woman was pushed in a room
- 54:59Speaker 14: and locked in for a a few dollars, he said,
- 55:02Speaker 14: his statement was, well, she wasn't injured. So it's quite rhyming.
- 55:09Speaker 14: The way that the red buying is changing for.
- 55:12Speaker 7: A lot of the Democrats on their support isn't an interesting, Gary.
- 55:16Speaker 4: This was the party of the Me Too movement, remember
- 55:18Speaker 4: that where people were mesa every day. You know, Democrats
- 55:22Speaker 4: were coming out and canceling people. And you're right, I
- 55:25Speaker 4: mean the exact quote he was on face the nation.
- 55:27Speaker 4: He said there was no harm, there was no injury.
- 55:30Speaker 4: There was just verbal intimidation. And he said that's okay.
- 55:36Speaker 14: Yes, so I appreciate your time time.
- 55:39Speaker 4: No, Gary, you're absolutely spot on accurate. Thank you for
- 55:42Speaker 4: the call. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
- 55:45Speaker 4: two six is our telephone number. Listen up. Are you
- 55:49Speaker 4: turning sixty five? Are you on Medicare? Because you could
- 55:54Speaker 4: be overpaying right now and you may not even know it.
- 55:57Speaker 4: I want to tell you about what happened with our
- 56:00Speaker 4: pal Thomas. He did everything right. He did his research,
- 56:02Speaker 4: thought he had a handle on his options. His previous
- 56:05Speaker 4: broker did not show him that plans that actually fit
- 56:09Speaker 4: his life. But Chapter did, and Thomas made one call.
- 56:14Speaker 4: His Chapter advisor compared every plan available and found a
- 56:18Speaker 4: plan that Thomas had never seen before. Get this saved
- 56:21Speaker 4: him one thousand dollars a year just on his prescriptions.
- 56:24Speaker 4: God bless him for making that call. And ladies and gentlemen,
- 56:27Speaker 4: that is why I am now partnering with Chapter. Their
- 56:30Speaker 4: advisors are honest. They are not paid to push any
- 56:33Speaker 4: one plan. They're the only Medicare advisor that compares every
- 56:37Speaker 4: plan nationwide to tell you where you stand. And I
- 56:41Speaker 4: want you to check him out. Got to ask chapter
- 56:44Speaker 4: dot org. That's ask chapter dot org slash real help.
- 56:50Speaker 4: Ask chapter dot org slash real help. They're going to
- 56:55Speaker 4: help you figure all of this out. Just go to
- 56:57Speaker 4: their website ask chapter dot org. We'll be all right back,
- 57:21Speaker 4: all right, Welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Starns Show.
- 57:24Speaker 4: Great to have you with us today. And by the way,
- 57:26Speaker 4: I want to say hello to all of the folks
- 57:27Speaker 4: not only listening to us on the radio, but also
- 57:30Speaker 4: watching us on our many platforms. We have thousands of
- 57:33Speaker 4: viewers on Facebook, Rumble and YouTube, so we're always always
- 57:38Speaker 4: excited to see you guys hanging out with us. I
- 57:41Speaker 4: want to go right away to our Patriot Mobile newsmaker
- 57:44Speaker 4: line and say hello to our good friend. He is
- 57:46Speaker 4: the chief political strategist for the Todd Stearns radio show,
- 57:49Speaker 4: Josh Jones. Josh, hope you're doing good today.
- 57:53Speaker 2: I'm good.
- 57:53Speaker 13: I'm good.
- 57:54Speaker 14: How are you?
- 57:54Speaker 4: Josh? I got to tell you I love primary day.
- 57:57Speaker 4: It's one of the you know, I'm like a hit
- 58:00Speaker 4: in a candy shop and run home, get my Raville Reddenboker,
- 58:04Speaker 4: I got my doctor Pepper, and I'm ready to watch
- 58:07Speaker 4: those results come in, am I the only one that
- 58:09Speaker 4: does that.
- 58:11Speaker 13: No.
- 58:12Speaker 17: No primary day is a great day for political junkies
- 58:15Speaker 17: on both sides of the al. Frankly, it's always fun
- 58:17Speaker 17: to watch the dem Democrats do to see with the Epigs.
- 58:19Speaker 2: I'm right there with you, you.
- 58:21Speaker 4: Know, Josh, a couple of big races. First of all,
- 58:23Speaker 4: we've got primaries in what North Dakota, Nevada, South Carolina,
- 58:28Speaker 4: which we'll get to in a moment, and then in Maine,
- 58:31Speaker 4: and Josh, I do not get this. The Democrats instead
- 58:36Speaker 4: of abandoning Graham Platner, they're embracing this guy who is
- 58:41Speaker 4: one bad dude. What say you, Yeah, you're right.
- 58:45Speaker 17: It's bizarre to watch the Democrats in Maine. I go
- 58:49Speaker 17: Graham Plattner and double down on him when looking at
- 58:52Speaker 17: Janet Mills, who is the former governor of Maine who
- 58:56Speaker 17: was running and dropped out of the primary.
- 58:58Speaker 2: Look, I'm not a fan of either one of them.
- 59:00Speaker 17: If I had to pick the lesser of two evils,
- 59:02Speaker 17: that's who I would be picking.
- 59:03Speaker 2: At the same time, even just from a strategic.
- 59:06Speaker 17: Analysis for the Democrats, some free consulting for them is, look,
- 59:10Speaker 17: if they want a majority in the Senate has to
- 59:12Speaker 17: run through Maine for them, there's no other path there.
- 59:14Speaker 17: And Republicans, we have a really strong candidate and Susan Collins,
- 59:18Speaker 17: and Graham Plattner puts that up puts their chances of
- 59:22Speaker 17: taking the majority at risk. So it's an interesting choice,
- 59:24Speaker 17: to say the least.
- 59:26Speaker 4: At the same time that Maine's just a weird state.
- 59:28Speaker 4: They've got that whole independent streak, a lot like the
- 59:31Speaker 4: folks in Kansas do. But for whatever reason, they still
- 59:35Speaker 4: seem to be voting for Susan Collins. And even though
- 59:39Speaker 4: you know you've got a Democrat governor, they're still voting
- 59:42Speaker 4: for her. Yet there are they interviewed a lady yesterday
- 59:45Speaker 4: said that she would vote for a door knob before
- 59:47Speaker 4: she would vote for Susan Collins. I mean, you really
- 59:49Speaker 4: can't reason with a voter like that.
- 59:52Speaker 7: You're right, You're right.
- 59:53Speaker 2: Maine is a beast of its own.
- 59:55Speaker 17: Main politics aren't similar to really any other state, especially
- 59:59Speaker 17: out out of New England. But look Susan Collins is, honestly,
- 1:00:03Speaker 17: you know, the incumbent. She's been in the Centate for
- 1:00:05Speaker 17: many years. She's a strong candidate for Republicans up in Maine.
- 1:00:08Speaker 17: She fits the bill of what you need to be
- 1:00:10Speaker 17: to win there, So it'd be interesting to one to
- 1:00:13Speaker 17: watch for streathing, You're gona see a lot of money
- 1:00:15Speaker 17: pouring on both sides, Democrat aroon to save Graham Plattner
- 1:00:17Speaker 17: than Republicans trying to prop up Susan Collins.
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: So it'd definitely be one of the highest spinning races
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: in the country.
- 1:00:23Speaker 4: Bad that wager, Josh. I'm curious about South Carolina, and
- 1:00:26Speaker 4: this one's really intriguing to me because it's a super
- 1:00:29Speaker 4: majority Republican state and yet you've got some massive infighting
- 1:00:34Speaker 4: between the establishment moderate I would say, Nicky Haley Republicans,
- 1:00:39Speaker 4: and then you have the conservative the America First Conservatives,
- 1:00:43Speaker 4: and the governor's race, especially what you've got to what
- 1:00:47Speaker 4: is it a five person race? I mean there are
- 1:00:49Speaker 4: more people, but five big contenders, one of them being
- 1:00:52Speaker 4: Congressman Ralph Norman, a member of the House Freedom Caucus,
- 1:00:55Speaker 4: but did not get President Trump's endorsement. Instead, that went
- 1:00:59Speaker 4: to Pam Vet who is the the lieutenant governor right now,
- 1:01:03Speaker 4: and of course Nancy Mace is running as well.
- 1:01:06Speaker 17: Yeah, you have a super crowded primary field done in
- 1:01:09Speaker 17: South Carolina to your point, the president and Dorce the
- 1:01:12Speaker 17: lieutenant governor. So she's as of right now the inspected winner.
- 1:01:16Speaker 17: But look the polling on it's been super competitive throughout
- 1:01:18Speaker 17: the whole thing up until that endorsement came out.
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: So we'll see how voters acided today.
- 1:01:23Speaker 17: Because to your point, you have a Slaton, you fairly
- 1:01:26Speaker 17: conservative candidate, so you have a pretty divided field. To
- 1:01:29Speaker 17: your point, you have Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman, who's
- 1:01:31Speaker 17: a you know, a very respected congressman in d C.
- 1:01:35Speaker 17: So look we'll see, you know why I have this
- 1:01:37Speaker 17: and I and we'll get those results and you know,
- 1:01:39Speaker 17: whoever the Republican nominee is the biggest thing is people
- 1:01:42Speaker 17: need the rally around that person and support them in November.
- 1:01:45Speaker 4: So there's some video. It's getting ugly down there, Josh,
- 1:01:48Speaker 4: and you've got to you've got to check out this video.
- 1:01:50Speaker 4: It's all over social media. One of Pamela events, I
- 1:01:54Speaker 4: guess campaign staffers or someone with the campaign came across
- 1:01:58Speaker 4: a Nancy Mace campaign staffer and the guy had a
- 1:02:02Speaker 4: megaphone And I'm just going to try to describe this
- 1:02:06Speaker 4: as best as I can. Pamela Evett's staffer. Dare I say,
- 1:02:12Speaker 4: sashade over to the other guy and like rips, rips
- 1:02:17Speaker 4: the megaphone out of the guy's arms and steals it
- 1:02:21Speaker 4: and it's all captured on camera, and then he's Sasha's away.
- 1:02:24Speaker 4: I've never seen a man walk quite like that. But
- 1:02:27Speaker 4: now the guy's been arrested for assaulting and it turns
- 1:02:31Speaker 4: out he's like a well known real or has like
- 1:02:34Speaker 4: all these YouTube and social media channels, and I guess
- 1:02:38Speaker 4: the guy just lost as cool. I mean, do things
- 1:02:40Speaker 4: get that heated in these campaigns?
- 1:02:43Speaker 17: I mean, as you saw in the video, I guess
- 1:02:45Speaker 17: it can look. Politics is a high passion sport for
- 1:02:48Speaker 17: a lot of people, So I get people have strong beliefs,
- 1:02:52Speaker 17: but you can't just walk up to somebody and still
- 1:02:56Speaker 17: their stuff and then run away with it.
- 1:02:58Speaker 4: Oh, I was surprised. I guess the guy has upper
- 1:03:00Speaker 4: body struth, but man, he just ripped that thing right
- 1:03:03Speaker 4: out there, Dylan, I kind of thought the guy was
- 1:03:05Speaker 4: gonna he probably sings in that choir we were playing earlier.
- 1:03:09Speaker 4: Probably we don't judge, we don't judge her, but anyway,
- 1:03:12Speaker 4: all that to say is just getting ugly out there,
- 1:03:15Speaker 4: and there's a lot of Republican on Republican violence. And
- 1:03:17Speaker 4: to that point, Josh, how do we get everybody together?
- 1:03:22Speaker 4: How do we do the big kumbah Yat and get
- 1:03:24Speaker 4: everybody together on the same page nationwide so that we
- 1:03:27Speaker 4: can focus on beating these Democrats.
- 1:03:30Speaker 17: I think the import of thing for Republican candidates and
- 1:03:34Speaker 17: voters too. But Republican candidate message to their voters is, look,
- 1:03:39Speaker 17: someone you agree with eighty percent of the time is
- 1:03:41Speaker 17: better than someone you disagree with eighty percent of the time.
- 1:03:44Speaker 17: Even if your preferred candidate doesn't come out of the primary, Look,
- 1:03:48Speaker 17: you did your part. You voted for your person. If
- 1:03:50Speaker 17: they don't win, maybe they'll run again and you can
- 1:03:53Speaker 17: vote for them again, or you can vote for him
- 1:03:55Speaker 17: for something else. But at the end of the day,
- 1:03:56Speaker 17: whoever that Republican nominee is, chances are you have way
- 1:04:00Speaker 17: more in common with their alignment and their values than
- 1:04:03Speaker 17: you do with whoever.
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: The Democrats are going to put up.
- 1:04:05Speaker 17: So like, even if you don't necessarily love the person
- 1:04:08Speaker 17: that you're voting for November, it's better than the alternative.
- 1:04:12Speaker 17: So I think that's the message. And look, the fact
- 1:04:15Speaker 17: that we have heated primaries is not a bad thing.
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: We're a big tim party. There's a lot of ideas.
- 1:04:19Speaker 17: This is how we get the best candidates and the
- 1:04:21Speaker 17: best ideas at the forefront of the conversation. So just
- 1:04:24Speaker 17: because you have a heated primary doesn't mean it's inherently
- 1:04:26Speaker 17: a bad thing.
- 1:04:27Speaker 2: It just means you have to come together after the fact.
- 1:04:29Speaker 4: You know, I'm looking at what's happening in California. I
- 1:04:33Speaker 4: think a lot of people are just disgusted nationwide with
- 1:04:35Speaker 4: all of this. Of the fact, I mean, we all
- 1:04:38Speaker 4: sort of we all know what's going on here, but
- 1:04:41Speaker 4: the reality is, I mean, in a couple of weeks,
- 1:04:44Speaker 4: every single Republican who was leading could be wiped off
- 1:04:48Speaker 4: of the ballot. And Josh, I just wonder, first of all,
- 1:04:51Speaker 4: as a campaign operative, I don't know if you have
- 1:04:53Speaker 4: any candidates out in California. I don't even know how
- 1:04:56Speaker 4: you guys can even respond to things like that.
- 1:05:00Speaker 17: Yeah, Look, California's voting system is the equivalent of a
- 1:05:03Speaker 17: third world countries. In fact, it's even worse. India, for example,
- 1:05:07Speaker 17: counts their votes very quickly and they have six hundred
- 1:05:11Speaker 17: million voters give or take. Meanwhile, California has a couple
- 1:05:14Speaker 17: million that votes in this primary, and it is going
- 1:05:16Speaker 17: to take a full month.
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: To get the results. So look, I don't blame people
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: for asking questions.
- 1:05:20Speaker 17: The fact that it takes a month for California, the
- 1:05:23Speaker 17: counter votes is ridiculous. Florida, for example, counts them mostly
- 1:05:27Speaker 17: on election night and if not on election night.
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: Within twenty four hours of the election.
- 1:05:31Speaker 17: And look, Democrats love to say, how dare you question
- 1:05:34Speaker 17: results or how dare you question the election integrity?
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: But when you do.
- 1:05:39Speaker 17: Stuff like this, look, I don't blame people for asking questions.
- 1:05:42Speaker 17: If you want people to have faith in your system,
- 1:05:44Speaker 17: improve the system and make it efficient and people won't
- 1:05:46Speaker 17: ask questions.
- 1:05:48Speaker 4: All right, Before we let you go, Josh, I'm quizzing you.
- 1:05:50Speaker 4: I'm putting you on the spot here. So I'm going
- 1:05:53Speaker 4: to read this biography and you have to tell me
- 1:05:55Speaker 4: if this person is a Republican or a Democrat. All right, vote?
- 1:05:59Speaker 4: So this this guy was born in Tennessee. He went
- 1:06:03Speaker 4: to public school, graduated from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville,
- 1:06:07Speaker 4: go Falls. He went to law school at the University
- 1:06:10Speaker 4: of Memphis. As mayor of Columbia, Tennessee, he was elected
- 1:06:15Speaker 4: as the youngest mayor in Tennessee. He earned a reputation
- 1:06:20Speaker 4: for passing get this, seven balanced budgets with no property
- 1:06:24Speaker 4: tax increases while simultaneously investing in education and public safety.
- 1:06:31Speaker 4: Republican or Democrat.
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: I'm going to go with republican.
- 1:06:34Speaker 4: He's a Democrat. Oh do we have the buster the budget? Oh,
- 1:06:38Speaker 4: jess A Lou I know who is it?
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: Who is it?
- 1:06:42Speaker 13: No? He didn't.
- 1:06:43Speaker 4: That's the that's the win Justin win Els. His name
- 1:06:50Speaker 4: is Chaz is see if I had to gone with
- 1:06:52Speaker 4: the name first, you have known democrat democrats Chazz ccha
- 1:06:57Speaker 4: z is his name Chaz Molder and he's married.
- 1:07:02Speaker 6: Oh.
- 1:07:02Speaker 4: Also he's a big gun rights activist or advocate, and
- 1:07:07Speaker 4: he's a hunter. And he's a member of the first
- 1:07:08Speaker 4: United Methodist Church in Columbia.
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: Well, it sounds like he should switch over to the
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: Republican side.
- 1:07:14Speaker 4: He's well, he's running as a Democrat in the ninth
- 1:07:18Speaker 4: or in the eighth Congressional district race eighth or no fifth,
- 1:07:21Speaker 4: I forget one of the one of the newly redistrict.
- 1:07:24Speaker 4: And he's going up against Andy Ogles, which could be
- 1:07:28Speaker 4: a very interesting race because this guy is raising millions
- 1:07:32Speaker 4: of dollars. Josh, and I know that Karl Rover. I
- 1:07:36Speaker 4: know our audience hates Carl Rowe, but Rove is concerned
- 1:07:41Speaker 4: that we're going to be losing some seats we ought
- 1:07:43Speaker 4: to be winning, and this could be one of them.
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting.
- 1:07:47Speaker 17: I haven't followed this race too closely, but look, I mean, yeah,
- 1:07:51Speaker 17: you definitely have some outliers in there where you know
- 1:07:54Speaker 17: you don't want to take anything for granted.
- 1:07:56Speaker 4: He doesn't look like a Chaz, but you know, again,
- 1:07:59Speaker 4: we don't judge. We don't judge here on the show,
- 1:08:01Speaker 4: all right, Josh Jones, always good having By the way,
- 1:08:05Speaker 4: I know that you had a little flood incident at
- 1:08:07Speaker 4: your home. Are you all repaired now? Those things are terrible?
- 1:08:10Speaker 17: I know, yeah, all it's all back and r now.
- 1:08:12Speaker 17: Luckily it's just like super small and nothing nothing too big.
- 1:08:15Speaker 17: So everything's good now. So we're back at it.
- 1:08:19Speaker 4: Well, glad to hear it. All right, the Great Josh Shones.
- 1:08:21Speaker 4: Everybody on our Patriot Mobile news maker line today, Josh,
- 1:08:24Speaker 4: thank you. Yes, I'm telling you, Dylan. People you know,
- 1:08:29Speaker 4: they see they see all these things and they're like, yeah,
- 1:08:33Speaker 4: I could vote for that guy. No, you can't You
- 1:08:35Speaker 4: can't vote for these You can't trust these Democrats because
- 1:08:38Speaker 4: this guy may look like a conservative. As a matter
- 1:08:42Speaker 4: of fact, he looks more conservative than some Republicans out there.
- 1:08:45Speaker 4: But every time they get elected, that's when they turn.
- 1:08:49Speaker 4: And let me tell you something. This guy gets elected
- 1:08:51Speaker 4: to Congress and the Democrats they put Hakim Jeffries, He's
- 1:08:54Speaker 4: going to be voting down ballot for every single Democrat issue.
- 1:08:58Speaker 4: It doesn't matter what it is, because that's how these
- 1:09:00Speaker 4: Democrats are. I'm just you know, I'm just trying to
- 1:09:03Speaker 4: tell you.
- 1:09:06Speaker 13: Now, even the lady in Florida like that wasn't there
- 1:09:08Speaker 13: there was there was someone running in Florida that was
- 1:09:10Speaker 13: like appealing to the Republican side and made it sound
- 1:09:13Speaker 13: really good to vote for her.
- 1:09:14Speaker 4: And also in Virginia, Abigail Spandburger.
- 1:09:17Speaker 13: Yeah, how do you sneaky?
- 1:09:19Speaker 4: By the way, did I send you the this this
- 1:09:22Speaker 4: theme is heating up. By the way, have you seen
- 1:09:24Speaker 4: the attack?
- 1:09:25Speaker 13: I haven't seen the attack.
- 1:09:26Speaker 4: I'm gonna send you the attack. I've got it. So look,
- 1:09:29Speaker 4: so this is the guy's very flamboyant. That's what cracks
- 1:09:33Speaker 4: me up about this is that he was the aggressor,
- 1:09:37Speaker 4: how dare you? And just like rips, the rips the megaphone,
- 1:09:41Speaker 4: and so now Nancy Mace is all up in arms.
- 1:09:44Speaker 18: Take a listen for today to talk about Pamela of that.
- 1:09:47Speaker 18: Pamela Ave is a disgrace. She is a disgrace to
- 1:09:51Speaker 18: the office of the Lieutenant governor. She's a disgrace to
- 1:09:54Speaker 18: anyone running for governor. She's disgrace to her campaign, she's
- 1:09:58Speaker 18: a disgrace to women everywhere, and she's a disgrace to
- 1:10:01Speaker 18: South Carolina. And oh, by the way, Pamela evid is
- 1:10:04Speaker 18: a disgrace to her home state of Ohio. I have
- 1:10:08Speaker 18: never seen something more disgusting than the behavior last night
- 1:10:12Speaker 18: that was caught on tape by one of Pamela Evet's
- 1:10:15Speaker 18: staffers physically assaulting a Mace supporter yesterday during her campaign.
- 1:10:23Speaker 18: She could have condemned this last night, she did not.
- 1:10:26Speaker 18: She could have condemned this this morning, she did not.
- 1:10:29Speaker 18: She waited to say anything until it was found out
- 1:10:32Speaker 18: that there was a tape of the assault of one
- 1:10:35Speaker 18: of my supporters. That is not courage, That is cowardice.
- 1:10:39Speaker 18: That is not a leader. That is a coward, and
- 1:10:42Speaker 18: that coward is Pamela Avet. We've seen violence across the country,
- 1:10:47Speaker 18: political violence, and today, even now, after she gave a
- 1:10:50Speaker 18: statement through her campaign, can't even condemn the violence. She
- 1:10:54Speaker 18: condemned anonymous texts yesterday more than a violent assault by
- 1:10:59Speaker 18: her campaign against one of my supporters today. It is disgusting.
- 1:11:04Speaker 18: I think she should I don't even think she qualifies
- 1:11:06Speaker 18: to be in the lieutenant governor's seat. I think this
- 1:11:09Speaker 18: kind of behavior and the lack of moral courage to
- 1:11:12Speaker 18: condemn political violence is disqualifying for anybody running for office anywhere.
- 1:11:17Speaker 18: I am so grateful that my supporter respects the First Amendment,
- 1:11:22Speaker 18: that he's physically okay, but this kind of violence should
- 1:11:25Speaker 18: not stand. And I thought her comments through her campaign,
- 1:11:28Speaker 18: she could even speak about it. She went through a
- 1:11:31Speaker 18: campaign messenger. She could even fire this staffer. I think
- 1:11:35Speaker 18: he resigned from her finance committee of his own will.
- 1:11:38Speaker 18: It's still not clear if he's being paid by the campaign.
- 1:11:40Speaker 18: Many people on finance committees are ten ninety nine staffers
- 1:11:44Speaker 18: and employees, so I think she's lying about his involvement
- 1:11:47Speaker 18: with the campaign. They promoted him as one of her
- 1:11:50Speaker 18: staffers throughout the campaign, and she couldn't even condemn the violence.
- 1:11:53Speaker 13: She said.
- 1:11:53Speaker 18: She was disappointab. Well, that's nice because there are people
- 1:11:56Speaker 18: today like Donald Trump, who've been shot because of their
- 1:12:00Speaker 18: political beliefs. There are people that are sitting in jail
- 1:12:03Speaker 18: right now because of violent threats against the present, against
- 1:12:06Speaker 18: political officials like myself and others. And so I'm here
- 1:12:09Speaker 18: to condemn her comments. She quite frankly should drop out
- 1:12:12Speaker 18: of the race. Her comments, the behavior of her campaign
- 1:12:15Speaker 18: is disqualifying for anybody running for office.
- 1:12:20Speaker 4: Okay, it wasn't an attempt at assassination. Let's just kind
- 1:12:24Speaker 4: of put things in perspective here. The guy grabbed a
- 1:12:28Speaker 4: megaphone and wrestled it away from the other guy. I mean,
- 1:12:31Speaker 4: that's it was wrong, and he got charged. But this
- 1:12:34Speaker 4: is not, again, to an assassination. Dylan, did you see
- 1:12:39Speaker 4: you saw the photo?
- 1:12:41Speaker 13: Hey, I saw I saw this the guy.
- 1:12:43Speaker 4: I'm catching some flak here they go, Sterne, what did
- 1:12:47Speaker 4: you mean by Sasha? What exactly are you trying to
- 1:12:50Speaker 4: I'm saying that he's sa Se, So most most guys
- 1:12:54Speaker 4: when you walk, Dylan, I'm sending you the video and
- 1:12:56Speaker 4: I want you to back me up on this. All right,
- 1:12:59Speaker 4: So when you watch this guy walk. Most guys when
- 1:13:03Speaker 4: you walk, you're like, you know, you you just kind
- 1:13:06Speaker 4: of like one foot in front of the other. Right,
- 1:13:08Speaker 4: your butt doesn't sway from one side to the other.
- 1:13:11Speaker 13: Right, No normal butt.
- 1:13:13Speaker 4: Moviag, Yeah, are you watching this video?
- 1:13:15Speaker 13: I'm seeing what I'm seeing what you're Yeah, you're getting
- 1:13:19Speaker 13: that is a yeah, it's quite sash.
- 1:13:21Speaker 4: I don't mean to judge, but all I'm saying is
- 1:13:26Speaker 4: if I'm Nancy Mace, I'm probably I probably would not
- 1:13:29Speaker 4: be making a big deal about this because this guy
- 1:13:32Speaker 4: is not exactly Rambo.
- 1:13:35Speaker 13: He does get pretty violent when he when he goes
- 1:13:37Speaker 13: over the microphone.
- 1:13:38Speaker 4: He's kind of like Delan mulvaney, all right, So he's
- 1:13:42Speaker 4: kind of like a Dela mulvaney. So if you're a
- 1:13:44Speaker 4: Nancy Mace who made her career, what are her bona fides?
- 1:13:47Speaker 4: She was a waffle house waitress. So every single person
- 1:13:51Speaker 4: on Nancy Mace's campaign team should be able to handle
- 1:13:54Speaker 4: themselves in any sort of a fistfight situation. And for
- 1:13:59Speaker 4: a Nancy Mays effort to get to get manhandled by
- 1:14:02Speaker 4: Nancy here, I'm just saying it's not a good look
- 1:14:08Speaker 4: for the Nancy Mace team.
- 1:14:10Speaker 13: It's like he was like on a runway model, like
- 1:14:13Speaker 13: you know, the runway is strutting down.
- 1:14:16Speaker 4: He's strutting. Yes, we're gonna just see again. I know
- 1:14:22Speaker 4: Nancy Mason is saying, Oh my word, this is worse
- 1:14:25Speaker 4: than the assassination attempt. No, it's not. I mean, it's
- 1:14:30Speaker 4: not good. But nobody got nobody got shot. Gotta take
- 1:14:36Speaker 4: a break. We'll be right back.
- 1:14:47Speaker 6: All right.

- 1:16:55Speaker 4: I mentioned earlier just a little while ago that the
- 1:16:58Speaker 4: House Judiciary commit was holding hearings grilling members of the
- 1:17:03Speaker 4: Southern Poverty Law Center. We told you briefly about the
- 1:17:07Speaker 4: story involving Family Research Council. Well, I want to go
- 1:17:10Speaker 4: right away to the Patriot Mobile news maker line and
- 1:17:13Speaker 4: say hello to our good friend Tony Perkins, president of
- 1:17:16Speaker 4: the Family Research Council. Tony, you're a busy man. Good
- 1:17:20Speaker 4: to have you with us today.
- 1:17:21Speaker 13: Thank you, Toad.
- 1:17:22Speaker 7: Good to be with you as always.
- 1:17:24Speaker 4: So Tony, I have to tell you, I was really
- 1:17:27Speaker 4: proud of the lawmakers as they were asking some pretty
- 1:17:31Speaker 4: tough questions to the Southern Poverty Law Center, and quite frankly,
- 1:17:35Speaker 4: questions that deserve answers.
- 1:17:38Speaker 19: Yeah, and so this is the second hearing, actually the third.
- 1:17:41Speaker 7: The Subcommittee on the Constitution, which Chip.
- 1:17:43Speaker 19: Roy chairs, had a hearing back in janu or actually December,
- 1:17:48Speaker 19: I think it was, and then we had a hearing
- 1:17:50Speaker 19: a couple of weeks ago which I testified before. And
- 1:17:53Speaker 19: so the committee was well prepared to talk with the
- 1:17:57Speaker 19: interim CEO of the Southern Poverty Law Center, Brian Fair,
- 1:18:01Speaker 19: and I think they were, you know, they asked some
- 1:18:04Speaker 19: really tough questions, probing questions, good questions, questions, as you said,
- 1:18:08Speaker 19: need answers.
- 1:18:09Speaker 7: And for so I don't think they got a lot of.
- 1:18:11Speaker 4: Answers, Tony, what do you hope happens here at the
- 1:18:14Speaker 4: end of the day. I know the Justice Department is
- 1:18:16Speaker 4: involved with the indictment, the grand jury indictment. There are
- 1:18:19Speaker 4: a lot of very serious charges at play here. I
- 1:18:22Speaker 4: just personally, I just think that people need to go
- 1:18:24Speaker 4: to jail, especially for the danger. They put a lot
- 1:18:28Speaker 4: of people in, including you and your staff there at FRC.
- 1:18:32Speaker 19: So the indictment that was handed down by the Federal
- 1:18:34Speaker 19: Grand Jury deals with bang fraud and you know, fraudulent
- 1:18:40Speaker 19: activity related to the donors.
- 1:18:44Speaker 7: That's really kind of like al.
- 1:18:45Speaker 19: Capone when he was convicted of tax evasion. He had
- 1:18:49Speaker 19: a criminal empire, he killed people, he did all kinds
- 1:18:53Speaker 19: of stuff. I think it's the same thing with the
- 1:18:54Speaker 19: Southern Poverty Law Center. This is just a tip of
- 1:18:57Speaker 19: the iceberg. Now, I wasn't interviewed multiple times with the
- 1:19:00Speaker 19: FBI as they were doing the investigation.
- 1:19:03Speaker 7: About a year ago.
- 1:19:04Speaker 19: This has been going on for quite some time because
- 1:19:07Speaker 19: you know, we were the first group targeted by them,
- 1:19:09Speaker 19: so we've been studying them very very closely. We've made
- 1:19:14Speaker 19: presentations to Congress before we've even made presentations to the
- 1:19:18Speaker 19: Department of Justice in this new administration information that we
- 1:19:22Speaker 19: had gathered. So I am pleased that they're moving forward this.
- 1:19:25Speaker 19: But this is where I hope it goes todd because
- 1:19:27Speaker 19: I've talked to members of Congress about this and it
- 1:19:30Speaker 19: came up today in the hearing, is that the Southern
- 1:19:35Speaker 19: Property Law Center was like the hub of a wheel
- 1:19:38Speaker 19: with many spokes going out. They were coordinating, and I
- 1:19:42Speaker 19: think there was a criminal conspiracy as they were coordinating
- 1:19:44Speaker 19: with banks to d bank conservatives. They were coordinating with
- 1:19:49Speaker 19: high tech tech companies to deplatform conservatives, and they were
- 1:19:54Speaker 19: leveraging their relationship with the federal government during the Biden administration.
- 1:19:58Speaker 7: To do that.
- 1:20:00Speaker 19: So while the SPLC is a private entity and you
- 1:20:03Speaker 19: know their nonprofit and they have free speech and all
- 1:20:06Speaker 19: that kind of stuff, however, banks are regulated by the
- 1:20:11Speaker 19: federal government. And if there was a conspiracy to d
- 1:20:14Speaker 19: bank conservatives at the same time, by the way, that
- 1:20:18Speaker 19: according to the indictment, the SPLC for over a decade
- 1:20:21Speaker 19: had fraudulent bank accounts, but yet they weren't touched.
- 1:20:26Speaker 7: But the same banks in that network were.
- 1:20:28Speaker 19: D banking conservative organizations like.
- 1:20:32Speaker 4: FRC, and you know Tony again, listening to the testimony,
- 1:20:37Speaker 4: it's very clear that the issue, most of the issues
- 1:20:40Speaker 4: surrounded the LGBT agenda and ideology, and if you disagree with,
- 1:20:47Speaker 4: you oppose the LGBT IAQ plus ideology, you get put
- 1:20:52Speaker 4: on their hate list.
- 1:20:54Speaker 7: Well, with some exceptions. And I think chip Roy drilled
- 1:20:58Speaker 7: down right. If you were a musclim, that's right. If
- 1:21:01Speaker 7: you were a Muslim goom, you didn't get on the.
- 1:21:02Speaker 19: List, and to which Fair said, well, we know, we
- 1:21:05Speaker 19: don't look at religion.
- 1:21:07Speaker 7: Really, come on, you're an anti Christian organization. You target Christians.
- 1:21:11Speaker 19: And have Biblical viewpoints of marriage and human sexuality.
- 1:21:15Speaker 7: Period. That's what they do.
- 1:21:16Speaker 4: That's that's it, and you're absolutely right.
- 1:21:19Speaker 15: Now.
- 1:21:19Speaker 4: I thought chip Roy did a really brilliant job of
- 1:21:22Speaker 4: exposing all of that. Today, Tony Perkins joining us on
- 1:21:25Speaker 4: our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. You know, Tony, going back
- 1:21:29Speaker 4: to the tentacles here, and this is why this story
- 1:21:31Speaker 4: is so important, is that the SPLC wielded a lot
- 1:21:35Speaker 4: of influence going all the way back to the Obama
- 1:21:38Speaker 4: administration of special I think that's when I started picking
- 1:21:41Speaker 4: up the story, and so a lot of the training
- 1:21:43Speaker 4: materials that were used by the military, for example, they
- 1:21:47Speaker 4: utilized a lot of the hate information, the fake hate
- 1:21:50Speaker 4: information the SPOC was putting out, and of course their
- 1:21:54Speaker 4: ties to the to the Federal Bureau of Investigation as well.
- 1:21:58Speaker 7: Yeah, you're absolutely right. So this goes back.
- 1:22:00Speaker 20: That's where they really began to dig into the federal
- 1:22:04Speaker 20: government and use that as leverage with later on with
- 1:22:10Speaker 20: the with the banks and with the tech firms.
- 1:22:13Speaker 19: So this is this you got. You got to see
- 1:22:17Speaker 19: the whole picture. And as you've just described it there,
- 1:22:19Speaker 19: it's not them operating as a nonprofit out there just
- 1:22:22Speaker 19: kind of making this uh.
- 1:22:23Speaker 7: You know, arbitrary list of groups that are bad.
- 1:22:26Speaker 3: They were.
- 1:22:27Speaker 19: At the same time, they had their own C four
- 1:22:31Speaker 19: organization supporting liberal progressive candidates against conservative candidates that they
- 1:22:38Speaker 19: had labeled with different labels, using again the leverage of
- 1:22:42Speaker 19: their relationship with democratic administrations to do that. And Todd
- 1:22:47Speaker 19: there's one other layer that we haven't mentioned. That is
- 1:22:49Speaker 19: they use it with the media to to cancel conservative
- 1:22:54Speaker 19: and Christian organizations from appearing on cable news channels.
- 1:22:59Speaker 4: It's it's it's a great point. So anyway, justice is coming,
- 1:23:03Speaker 4: and it cannot come soon enough. Tony, I want to
- 1:23:06Speaker 4: switch gears real quick. You've got a great piece up
- 1:23:09Speaker 4: over on Washington stand dot com, which is a terrific website,
- 1:23:13Speaker 4: and folks, i'd encourage you to go and check that out. Tony.
- 1:23:16Speaker 4: Here's the headline. As pride fades, persistence must grow. And
- 1:23:21Speaker 4: you're pointing out here that the pride celebrations are not
- 1:23:25Speaker 4: as as plentiful as they have been in years past.
- 1:23:30Speaker 7: Yeah, the rainbow colors that faded just a bit.
- 1:23:34Speaker 19: As you know, corporations are turning away from this now.
- 1:23:38Speaker 19: A lot of people would say, and this is kind
- 1:23:39Speaker 19: of the premise of the piece, is that, you know,
- 1:23:42Speaker 19: I applaud the Trump administration going after the DEI and
- 1:23:45Speaker 19: all this stuff, and so some would say, well, you know,
- 1:23:47Speaker 19: that's the reason these corporations are turning.
- 1:23:50Speaker 15: Not really.
- 1:23:52Speaker 7: What was at the heart of this, Todd was moms
- 1:23:55Speaker 7: and dads who.
- 1:23:55Speaker 19: Pushed back on boys and girls' sports, forcing their orders
- 1:24:00Speaker 19: to go into dressing rooms and bathrooms with boys. They
- 1:24:04Speaker 19: showed up facing charges or allegations by the Biden aligned
- 1:24:10Speaker 19: ministration allies that they were domestic terrorists.
- 1:24:14Speaker 7: But yet they showed up.
- 1:24:15Speaker 19: And not only did they show up, they ended up
- 1:24:17Speaker 19: running for school boards getting elected. And that's what got
- 1:24:20Speaker 19: the attention of the Trump campaign to make the whole
- 1:24:24Speaker 19: gender trans the trans issue a big issue in the
- 1:24:29Speaker 19: twenty the twenty twenty four election which brought us to
- 1:24:34Speaker 19: this point. And so I think that's what.
- 1:24:38Speaker 7: The heart of this is.
- 1:24:40Speaker 19: It was the perseverance of parents who knew right from
- 1:24:44Speaker 19: wrong and weren't going to let go of it. Change
- 1:24:46Speaker 19: the politics. The politics are changing the corporate structure. I
- 1:24:50Speaker 19: think we could be on the verge of a cultural
- 1:24:53Speaker 19: shift on these issues, Tony.
- 1:24:55Speaker 4: I think all you have to do just take a
- 1:24:57Speaker 4: look at what Target was doing a couple of years
- 1:24:59Speaker 4: ago selling onesies for the transgender community and now as
- 1:25:05Speaker 4: celebrating June and July on their website. It's all red,
- 1:25:10Speaker 4: white and blue and nuclear families galore.
- 1:25:14Speaker 7: But I still don't go to Target.
- 1:25:17Speaker 4: Got to stay away from those stay away from those dresses.
- 1:25:19Speaker 19: Well, you're right, But but the point is, and this
- 1:25:22Speaker 19: is what your listeners need to hear, because your listeners
- 1:25:25Speaker 19: are are.
- 1:25:26Speaker 7: The activists that make these things happen.
- 1:25:28Speaker 19: It is because people spoke up, they made a difference.
- 1:25:32Speaker 19: They weren't silent, they weren't cowed by the left, and they.
- 1:25:36Speaker 7: Didn't give up. So here's the point. We cannot give up.
- 1:25:39Speaker 5: Now.
- 1:25:40Speaker 19: We need to keep pressing forward and make sure these
- 1:25:43Speaker 19: cultural are the corporate changes are not passing, but in
- 1:25:50Speaker 19: fact it becomes you know, look, I just want business
- 1:25:52Speaker 19: to do business.
- 1:25:53Speaker 7: Stay out of the cultural wars. You don't, I don't.
- 1:25:55Speaker 7: You don't have to take my side. Just stay out
- 1:25:57Speaker 7: of it. If you sell widgets, sell widgets, don't get
- 1:25:59Speaker 7: involved using the money. Do you get off the profits
- 1:26:03Speaker 7: you get off of me doing business to work against me?
- 1:26:06Speaker 7: Because I'm not going to shop with you. If that's the.
- 1:26:07Speaker 4: Case, Well said, all right, Tony, we're gonna leave it there.
- 1:26:10Speaker 4: Coming up five o'clock tonight Eastern on hundreds of radio
- 1:26:14Speaker 4: stations around the nation, your program. But you want to
- 1:26:16Speaker 4: give us a tease what's happening.
- 1:26:18Speaker 21: Well, we're going to be covering SPLC as well as
- 1:26:22Speaker 21: what's happening here, but we're also going to be checking
- 1:26:24Speaker 21: in over in Israel with what's happening with Israel and Iran.
- 1:26:28Speaker 19: We take keep an eye on what's happening on the
- 1:26:30Speaker 19: international stage as well.
- 1:26:32Speaker 7: So a lot a lot to cover tonight in the program,
- 1:26:35Speaker 7: A lot happening here.
- 1:26:36Speaker 4: All right, good good to see you, my friend.
- 1:26:38Speaker 7: Thank you dad.
- 1:26:39Speaker 4: All right, good man. Right here, ladies and gentlemen. Tony Perkins,
- 1:26:42Speaker 4: President of the Family Research Council, all right, we've got
- 1:26:45Speaker 4: to take a break here. Nine oh one two six
- 1:26:48Speaker 4: zero five nine two six is our telephone number. That's
- 1:26:51Speaker 4: nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
- 1:26:54Speaker 4: This is the Todd Stard Show. All right, Welcome back, everybody.
- 1:27:06Speaker 4: This is the ton Sterns Radio Show. Big story out
- 1:27:11Speaker 4: of Houston, Texas. This from Fox News, the state's largest
- 1:27:16Speaker 4: school district. That's you folks in Houston see test score
- 1:27:20Speaker 4: sore after a state takeover in spite of racism claims. Now,
- 1:27:25Speaker 4: all of you folks listening to us in Memphis, Tennessee
- 1:27:27Speaker 4: on KWM, you need to listen very closely to this
- 1:27:30Speaker 4: because this is happening to you where the Republican legislature
- 1:27:34Speaker 4: stepped in to take over the prominently black Memphis Shelby
- 1:27:38Speaker 4: County School System, which happens to be one of the
- 1:27:41Speaker 4: largest school systems in the nation. Over seventy percent of
- 1:27:45Speaker 4: the kids in Memphis cannot read at grade level. I mean,
- 1:27:48Speaker 4: that's how bad it is. So anyway, the Houston Independent
- 1:27:51Speaker 4: School District has now seen dramatic improvements in student grades
- 1:27:56Speaker 4: and test scores across more than two hundred and seventy
- 1:28:00Speaker 4: campuses in the years since a state takeover. Now originally
- 1:28:06Speaker 4: and you folks in Houston contestify to this. Your schools
- 1:28:09Speaker 4: were in the cramper. I mean, kids weren't learning anything
- 1:28:13Speaker 4: going through grades K through twelve and coming out stupid.
- 1:28:16Speaker 4: I mean, what was up with that? And so the
- 1:28:20Speaker 4: state says we're going to step in, and everybody starts
- 1:28:22Speaker 4: yelling racism. But it had nothing to do with racism,
- 1:28:26Speaker 4: had everything to do with making sure teachers were doing
- 1:28:29Speaker 4: their jobs and were not being handcuffed by administrators. Across
- 1:28:34Speaker 4: the district's elementary middle schools in grades three through eight
- 1:28:37Speaker 4: substantial improvements in reading and math scores in the last
- 1:28:42Speaker 4: three years. Furthermore, students in high schools made significant year
- 1:28:47Speaker 4: over year improvements from twenty twenty three to twenty twenty
- 1:28:50Speaker 4: six in algebra, English, biology, and US history. Superintendent Mike Miles,
- 1:28:59Speaker 4: telling Fox Digital many people worried about the intervention, said
- 1:29:03Speaker 4: he understood the politics of that, but it really was
- 1:29:06Speaker 4: focused on kids achievement and their future and not adult issues.
- 1:29:10Speaker 4: Imagine that when you start focusing on the kids, guess
- 1:29:13Speaker 4: what the kids start learning. In twenty twenty three, the
- 1:29:19Speaker 4: tea officially took over the state took over Houston Independent
- 1:29:22Speaker 4: School District, replacing its elected leadership with a state appointed
- 1:29:26Speaker 4: board of managers and installing Miles as superintendent. He says,
- 1:29:32Speaker 4: when you have kids who are that far behind and
- 1:29:34Speaker 4: reading and math, we came in with a high sense
- 1:29:37Speaker 4: of urgency, he said, I say, good for you. So anyway,
- 1:29:42Speaker 4: all you folks in Houston, I'm curious, what do you
- 1:29:45Speaker 4: think about your public schools? Nine oh one two six
- 1:29:49Speaker 4: zero five nine two six is our telephone over? That's
- 1:29:52Speaker 4: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 1:29:57Speaker 4: Interesting survey, by the way, out of news now, sixty
- 1:30:03Speaker 4: five percent of voters believe that a student is better
- 1:30:07Speaker 4: off investing one hundred thousand dollars than spending that money
- 1:30:12Speaker 4: on a college degree, against sixty five percent of voters.
- 1:30:16Speaker 4: The survey also found that more than six to ten
- 1:30:19Speaker 4: voters believe college is less important to success than it
- 1:30:24Speaker 4: was a generation ago. And I'm wondering if you are,
- 1:30:28Speaker 4: if you are one of those people, was it going
- 1:30:33Speaker 4: back to it two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight,
- 1:30:36Speaker 4: Obama was out there and he was telling the young people,
- 1:30:40Speaker 4: the young children of America, that a college education was
- 1:30:44Speaker 4: fundamental to the American dream. That was the actual phrase used,
- 1:30:48Speaker 4: fundamental to the American dream. And the message was really clear.
- 1:30:53Speaker 4: You kind of had to read between the lines with Obama,
- 1:30:56Speaker 4: but it was very clear. If you don't go to college,
- 1:30:58Speaker 4: you're a loser. If you don't go and get a
- 1:31:01Speaker 4: four year degree in something, you will not be a success.
- 1:31:04Speaker 4: You will not be able to claim your American dream.
- 1:31:06Speaker 4: I mean, that's what Obama was in essence telling the
- 1:31:09Speaker 4: children of America. This is a millennial generation by it,
- 1:31:12Speaker 4: So these are millennials we're talking about now. And I
- 1:31:15Speaker 4: got to tell you that philosophy devastated a generation of
- 1:31:19Speaker 4: young people. You say, how did they do that? Well,
- 1:31:22Speaker 4: many of them are saddled with tens of thousands of
- 1:31:25Speaker 4: dollars in student loan debt and they can't pay it back.
- 1:31:29Speaker 4: I want to know why they can't pay it back
- 1:31:32Speaker 4: because many of them can't find can't find jobs, no
- 1:31:38Speaker 4: gainful employment, many of them living at home. And then
- 1:31:45Speaker 4: along comes well Donald Trump who told the nation young
- 1:31:49Speaker 4: people don't want to go to college, go to college.
- 1:31:52Speaker 4: But if you don't want to go to college, it
- 1:31:54Speaker 4: is very possible to be a success without a college degree.
- 1:31:58Speaker 4: And what did Trump do? He went in and he
- 1:32:00Speaker 4: promoted the trade school and the trade arts said there
- 1:32:04Speaker 4: was something noble about being a construction worker, or a
- 1:32:07Speaker 4: mechanic or a beauty What do you call those people?
- 1:32:15Speaker 4: One of those lady jobs in this beauty parlor? There's
- 1:32:21Speaker 4: a word. I'm looking for it. It just slipped my mind.
- 1:32:25Speaker 13: I can't help you at all. I have no clue.
- 1:32:27Speaker 4: All that to say is that there is something noble
- 1:32:32Speaker 4: in all of that. It's going to drive me nuts. Now,
- 1:32:35Speaker 4: what do you call the people who work at the
- 1:32:36Speaker 4: beauty parlors? Beauty technicians? No, that's not right. All right,
- 1:32:41Speaker 4: somebody will figure it out anyway. This Fox News poll
- 1:32:46Speaker 4: shows that most Americans now actually agree with Donald Trump that, yeah,
- 1:32:50Speaker 4: you know what, you can make it in life, and
- 1:32:53Speaker 4: you can be very successful. You can buy a house,
- 1:32:55Speaker 4: you can start a family by being a construction worker,
- 1:32:58Speaker 4: or an electrician or mechanic or a plumber. Oh HVAC
- 1:33:03Speaker 4: is huge. Speaking of that. The ac is just you know,
- 1:33:07Speaker 4: we don't want to jinx it here, but it's like
- 1:33:09Speaker 4: ninety something degrees and the two hundred percent of humidity
- 1:33:11Speaker 4: in Memphis right now. So I want to go back
- 1:33:16Speaker 4: to this because again, this is so very important. It's
- 1:33:20Speaker 4: not that college is bad, it's that college is just
- 1:33:24Speaker 4: not meant for everybody. And by the way, you want
- 1:33:26Speaker 4: to talk about a financial drain on America. These universities
- 1:33:31Speaker 4: that we are having to prop up, and they've got
- 1:33:34Speaker 4: all sorts of crazy degrees. You're going to minor and
- 1:33:36Speaker 4: Taylor Swift or you're going to major and I don't know,
- 1:33:41Speaker 4: Botchy Ball. It's crazy some of the stuff that you
- 1:33:44Speaker 4: can major in. And the issue with that is the
- 1:33:47Speaker 4: colleges and the universities they're going to have to streamline
- 1:33:50Speaker 4: because kids are not going to school. They're not going
- 1:33:52Speaker 4: to college anymore, not that there's anything wrong with them,
- 1:33:55Speaker 4: but they realize they can make more money going out
- 1:33:59Speaker 4: into the work course. Right now, nine oh one two
- 1:34:02Speaker 4: six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one
- 1:34:05Speaker 4: two six zero five nine two six. Oh Ryl says Todd.
- 1:34:09Speaker 4: It's a hairstylist. No, there's something, there's another word for it.
- 1:34:14Speaker 4: We're gonna find out what it is we'll be right then.
- 1:34:33Speaker 4: I don't want to get off on a tangent here,
- 1:34:36Speaker 4: but this is driving me bonkers. Dan. Let's go to
- 1:34:39Speaker 4: Sherry and Jackson, Tennessee listening to us on k W
- 1:34:43Speaker 4: A M. Sherry, you gotta help me out here. What
- 1:34:45Speaker 4: do you call the ladies who work in the beauty parlors?
- 1:34:50Speaker 11: Well, I think the words you're looking for his decision?
- 1:34:54Speaker 4: Yes, yes, I think that's it. Yeah, yes, I like
- 1:34:58Speaker 4: the hairdressers and the the beauticians.
- 1:35:03Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 1:35:05Speaker 4: That's the only thing I know about the whole beauty
- 1:35:07Speaker 4: shot thing is I had to watch Steel Magnolia's a
- 1:35:10Speaker 4: couple of times.
- 1:35:11Speaker 3: Oh yeah, over the years.
- 1:35:13Speaker 4: So everything I know about beauty parlors. Yeah, okay, Sherry,
- 1:35:20Speaker 4: thank you. Let's go to Lee in Newburn, North Carolina.
- 1:35:23Speaker 4: WTKS is our great affiliate out there. Lee. So Sherry
- 1:35:28Speaker 4: was saying that we call him beauticians. Is that right?
- 1:35:31Speaker 12: That's correct?
- 1:35:32Speaker 4: All right? You know, I know what is going on
- 1:35:35Speaker 4: in my brain today.
- 1:35:36Speaker 10: That's it's not just your brain, it's mine.
- 1:35:41Speaker 4: Good. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.
- 1:35:43Speaker 4: All right, good stuff, Lee, thank you for the thank
- 1:35:47Speaker 4: you for the guidance.
- 1:35:48Speaker 6: There.
- 1:35:48Speaker 4: I want to go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line.
- 1:35:51Speaker 4: Say hello to our good friend from the great state
- 1:35:54Speaker 4: of California, Kyle Campbell. Kyle, hope you're doing well today.
- 1:35:58Speaker 22: Hey Todd, I'm doing great. Did any say stylist? I
- 1:36:01Speaker 22: think we call him stylists out here?
- 1:36:03Speaker 3: Oh?
- 1:36:03Speaker 4: Is that what we call him now?
- 1:36:04Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 1:36:05Speaker 4: It's you know, all the new fangled words.
- 1:36:09Speaker 22: I'm not sure, but that's the fancy one we've got
- 1:36:12Speaker 22: for him out here on the West Coast.
- 1:36:14Speaker 4: All right, I've got to tell you a story here, Kyle.
- 1:36:17Speaker 4: So I'm like an old school I like the barbershop guy.
- 1:36:20Speaker 4: But now I just the lady that comes in and
- 1:36:22Speaker 4: gets me gussied up for Newsmax. So she cuts my hair,
- 1:36:26Speaker 4: but and she's got her own little place and does
- 1:36:29Speaker 4: a terrific job. So anyway, when I was in New
- 1:36:32Speaker 4: York City, I needed to get a haircut, and normally
- 1:36:34Speaker 4: the makeup artists would cut my hair, but they were out,
- 1:36:37Speaker 4: so I had to go to a hairstyle. Oh, someone
- 1:36:39Speaker 4: just texted in. I'm getting all these messages now they're
- 1:36:42Speaker 4: called cosmetologist. Cosmetologist Todd is what I'm being told. That's
- 1:36:48Speaker 4: from Lancaster, California. So got me yet? Oh hey, Kyle,
- 1:36:54Speaker 4: hang tight, don't go. I want to go to Anna
- 1:36:56Speaker 4: in Georgia. Listening to us Anna, You've got it? Am
- 1:37:00Speaker 4: I getting the terminology right or wrong?
- 1:37:02Speaker 9: Here?
- 1:37:04Speaker 16: I think it's called a cosmetologist.
- 1:37:05Speaker 11: Or an esthetician.
- 1:37:07Speaker 4: What's what's a what setitian?
- 1:37:11Speaker 16: An esthetician?
- 1:37:12Speaker 4: That sounds painful? Esthetician? All right? What does an esthetician do?
- 1:37:19Speaker 16: They inject you with needles and like a beauty care lab.
- 1:37:24Speaker 4: Oh what what is going on in that beauty parlor?
- 1:37:28Speaker 16: They can also do your nails.
- 1:37:30Speaker 4: And oh yeah, you know theyre trying to do that
- 1:37:34Speaker 4: in the hospital. For that, I don't want to talk
- 1:37:35Speaker 4: about it. It still has some issues over that. But
- 1:37:38Speaker 4: not a big fan of the waxing.
- 1:37:41Speaker 13: Anna.
- 1:37:42Speaker 4: Thank you for the update there, Kyle. You never know
- 1:37:46Speaker 4: what's going to happen on this show. So so let
- 1:37:51Speaker 4: me tell you about Thank you Anna for calling it.
- 1:37:53Speaker 4: Let me tell you my story. So I go in
- 1:37:55Speaker 4: and I just, you know, I don't want people. I
- 1:37:57Speaker 4: don't want I'm not fussy. So I said, I just
- 1:37:59Speaker 4: need a good haircut, and they said, no problem is,
- 1:38:02Speaker 4: so they go, will wash your hair first, and I'm like,
- 1:38:05Speaker 4: all right, So anyway, I'm laying back in the thing,
- 1:38:09Speaker 4: you know, and they're washing your hair, and then all
- 1:38:12Speaker 4: of a sudden I feel people and I'm not I
- 1:38:13Speaker 4: just don't like people touching me. I'm one of those
- 1:38:15Speaker 4: I just don't like people touching me. Kyle. The next
- 1:38:18Speaker 4: thing you know, I got some big old dude behind
- 1:38:21Speaker 4: me massaging me. I'm like, what is going on here?
- 1:38:26Speaker 22: It's all part of the service now.
- 1:38:28Speaker 4: Yea, yeah to your point. And then they're like, do
- 1:38:31Speaker 4: you want a manny or a petty? And I'm like, really,
- 1:38:34Speaker 4: come on, now, that's what nail biting us for.
- 1:38:41Speaker 22: Do you show the nails on on camera? We don't
- 1:38:44Speaker 22: often see the hands.
- 1:38:46Speaker 4: No, no, I don't do that, but I have to
- 1:38:48Speaker 4: imagine it. It's like a big is that like a
- 1:38:50Speaker 4: big thing? I mean like the you know, because you
- 1:38:52Speaker 4: know some places here they'll give you like I don't
- 1:38:54Speaker 4: want doctor Pepper, you know, they'll I mean they're really
- 1:38:57Speaker 4: like high falute.
- 1:39:00Speaker 22: It's very much a thing out here. The men are
- 1:39:02Speaker 22: really into the manscaping, the grooming. You'll go to the
- 1:39:06Speaker 22: tanning salon, You'll see a lot of gents there. They're
- 1:39:09Speaker 22: getting the nails done. They're going to the esthetician and
- 1:39:13Speaker 22: getting the injectibles out here in California.
- 1:39:15Speaker 4: Right What are they injected? I should have asked Anna here.
- 1:39:17Speaker 4: I didn't want to be rude to you, Kyle, but
- 1:39:19Speaker 4: what are they? Are they like botox?
- 1:39:21Speaker 22: Or is the botox fillers? Fillers are kind of on
- 1:39:24Speaker 22: the way out. A lot of people are having their
- 1:39:25Speaker 22: fillers dissolved, which I hear is just as painful as
- 1:39:28Speaker 22: having them injected.
- 1:39:29Speaker 4: You see, I did mind the nantoll way with pulled pork,
- 1:39:32Speaker 4: and now I've got a yeah, you look.
- 1:39:34Speaker 22: Great, you look great. No, there's a lot to be
- 1:39:37Speaker 22: said about that. Actually, we're kind of on this ozembic
- 1:39:40Speaker 22: track right now, and there's a look. I don't know
- 1:39:42Speaker 22: if you've seen it. People are comparing celebrities to gall
- 1:39:45Speaker 22: them from Lord of the Rings, and they look very
- 1:39:47Speaker 22: ashen and skeletal. So there's a movement now away from
- 1:39:51Speaker 22: the microdosing of GLP ones because people are getting so
- 1:39:56Speaker 22: skeletor looking and unhealthy and so skinny. So I say
- 1:40:00Speaker 22: yes to the pulled pork. I think a little cheesecake,
- 1:40:02Speaker 22: a little ice cream every now and again, some real butter,
- 1:40:05Speaker 22: and it keeps you looking the way God intended.
- 1:40:08Speaker 4: Who needs beefcake when you got cheesecake, That's what I'm saying, Dylan, Dylan,
- 1:40:12Speaker 4: we aughto go get our nails dead. After the show,
- 1:40:15Speaker 4: I'll watch.
- 1:40:16Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, I'll take the free drink if they're.
- 1:40:19Speaker 4: Offering, we'll get you. We'll get you a doctor pepper, right.
- 1:40:25Speaker 9: Kyle.
- 1:40:26Speaker 4: By the way, speaking of tanning salons, and we're gonna
- 1:40:28Speaker 4: talk politics. Back when San Francisco was considering the reparations,
- 1:40:33Speaker 4: I was actually going to pull a Rachel Dolosol and
- 1:40:35Speaker 4: hit the tanning salon and I was gonna I was
- 1:40:38Speaker 4: gonna self identify.
- 1:40:40Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:40:41Speaker 22: I think people are confused enough now about whether or
- 1:40:44Speaker 22: not that's okay that you could probably do it.
- 1:40:46Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 1:40:47Speaker 4: Yeah, lebron Stearns. That was my name. I was going
- 1:40:50Speaker 4: to get a name change and everything, but I just
- 1:40:53Speaker 4: the tanning sessions took too long, so I thought, yeah,
- 1:40:55Speaker 4: forget this.
- 1:40:56Speaker 22: So anyone the skin cancer is a not so.
- 1:40:59Speaker 4: Great well that too. Yeah, that's a fair point, Kyle.
- 1:41:04Speaker 4: Let's not politics here. I think people are just we
- 1:41:08Speaker 4: see what's going on, we know what's going on, and
- 1:41:11Speaker 4: it seems like there's nothing we can do about it.
- 1:41:14Speaker 22: Well, I think some goods coming out of all of this.
- 1:41:17Speaker 22: Let's keep it positive and I'll find you a couple
- 1:41:19Speaker 22: of silver linings in this. But so much has happened.
- 1:41:22Speaker 22: It has been only a week to the to the
- 1:41:24Speaker 22: day Todd since Primary Tuesday, if you can believe it, it
- 1:41:27Speaker 22: feels like it's been several weeks of this and we
- 1:41:30Speaker 22: have seen a lot go wrong, a lot of questions
- 1:41:34Speaker 22: have arisen from this process. And so that's one of
- 1:41:37Speaker 22: the silver linings is that this has gone all the
- 1:41:39Speaker 22: way to the top. The President is remarking he's signing
- 1:41:42Speaker 22: an executive order having to do with mail in ballots,
- 1:41:45Speaker 22: which is really going to affect California. Should they implement
- 1:41:48Speaker 22: it now, that's always a big question out here, is
- 1:41:50Speaker 22: whether or not they're going to just refuse simply to
- 1:41:53Speaker 22: do what the president's ordering. But you know, Jack Newson
- 1:41:57Speaker 22: has really been called out on this issue from Steve
- 1:42:01Speaker 22: Hilton from US Attorney for Central District of California, Bill A. Sale,
- 1:42:05Speaker 22: who we love. He's kind of our batman, our lone
- 1:42:08Speaker 22: hero here fighting this and we've got voter ID on
- 1:42:12Speaker 22: the ballot in November, and really I think it comes
- 1:42:16Speaker 22: down to the state has five months to figure out
- 1:42:21Speaker 22: what they're going to do with this general election. The RNC,
- 1:42:24Speaker 22: the California GOP bill a sale, and these candidates have
- 1:42:28Speaker 22: five months to figure out how they're going to try
- 1:42:31Speaker 22: to manipulate this and how we're going to keep it
- 1:42:34Speaker 22: safe because a lot has come out. Wow, that La
- 1:42:38Speaker 22: mayoral race. Those numbers were completely unrealistic. I actually think
- 1:42:43Speaker 22: it drove the decision to call the race in the
- 1:42:46Speaker 22: number two spot for Steve Hilton in the gubernatorial because
- 1:42:49Speaker 22: there was so much questioning over Nithia Rahman, a very
- 1:42:52Speaker 22: unpopular candidate and popular in her own district, who even
- 1:42:56Speaker 22: knew she had lost on primary election night and essentially
- 1:43:02Speaker 22: tearfully conceded. They found those votes for her, We're looking
- 1:43:06Speaker 22: at a Biden esque twenty twenty graph, and they thought,
- 1:43:09Speaker 22: you know what, we can't bring Tom Steyer from behind
- 1:43:13Speaker 22: enough as we did with Nythian Ramin. We better call
- 1:43:15Speaker 22: it for Steve and here we go again. They thought
- 1:43:17Speaker 22: it was going to satisfy as Todd. We're not satisfied.
- 1:43:20Speaker 22: We still have a lot of questions and we want
- 1:43:21Speaker 22: to see the investigations continue.
- 1:43:23Speaker 4: And there aren't some I mean there's some unknown variables here.
- 1:43:25Speaker 4: The Supreme Court could come in and make a ruling
- 1:43:28Speaker 4: that would possibly impact the mail in ballots. So that
- 1:43:32Speaker 4: could be a good thing. But again, the idea that
- 1:43:36Speaker 4: you've got a state that is taking you know, it
- 1:43:39Speaker 4: could I mean, it could be another week or two
- 1:43:41Speaker 4: before they get all of the votes counted here. That
- 1:43:44Speaker 4: just makes no sense to me.
- 1:43:47Speaker 22: Well, they're giving themselves thirty seven days, so technically the
- 1:43:51Speaker 22: state has allowed themselves an additional month even from today,
- 1:43:55Speaker 22: to go through these votes. What we really want to
- 1:43:57Speaker 22: look at, and I think it's important for people to
- 1:43:59Speaker 22: folks us in on here is the legislation that got
- 1:44:02Speaker 22: jammed and rammed through at Gavin Newsom's direction and by
- 1:44:07Speaker 22: the Democrats super majority in this state right before primary day.
- 1:44:11Speaker 22: This we're talking a week before primary day. All of
- 1:44:14Speaker 22: these Assembly bills and Senate bills that got rammed through
- 1:44:17Speaker 22: that had to do with elections and ballots, when you
- 1:44:21Speaker 22: can accept a ballot, how you can and if you
- 1:44:24Speaker 22: dig intos rules, Really it's not so much that they
- 1:44:28Speaker 22: are to do with how our ballots are counted. It's
- 1:44:33Speaker 22: to do with the entire process that is got more
- 1:44:37Speaker 22: holes telling you than Swiss cheese. At this point, it's
- 1:44:40Speaker 22: so broad, it's so open, and the guardrails have been shucked,
- 1:44:44Speaker 22: and here we go, and you can you can really
- 1:44:46Speaker 22: accept almost anything. And I think it really comes down
- 1:44:49Speaker 22: to the fact that the legislature has made it legal
- 1:44:53Speaker 22: to essentially register almost anyone to vote. You can use
- 1:44:58Speaker 22: a prescription bottle, you can use a Hell health Care
- 1:45:01Speaker 22: membership card, which they give to anyone here in this
- 1:45:03Speaker 22: sanctuary state to register to vote. Then this state's going
- 1:45:06Speaker 22: to go ahead and mail every single registered person a ballot.
- 1:45:11Speaker 22: So here's a second layer of opening things up to fraudulent,
- 1:45:14Speaker 22: inappropriate behavior. They send out twenty three million ballots when
- 1:45:18Speaker 22: really only about seven million people vote in these primaries.
- 1:45:22Speaker 22: So you're collecting ballots, they're not checking signatures. There's actually
- 1:45:26Speaker 22: no process for if a ballot vote counter cannot match
- 1:45:32Speaker 22: cannot match a signature, and there's no contact information. It's
- 1:45:35Speaker 22: at their discretion if they're going to accept it or not.
- 1:45:38Speaker 22: And so we go on through these layers of this process.
- 1:45:42Speaker 22: You know, right in the date on the instead of
- 1:45:45Speaker 22: the post office postmarking your ballot, they'll accept a handwritten
- 1:45:49Speaker 22: date on that envelope, and it just continues on and on.
- 1:45:53Speaker 22: It's pretty horrific. And for Gavin Newsom to say, you know,
- 1:45:57Speaker 22: we're going to put people in jail who who do
- 1:46:01Speaker 22: anything illegal around this process. You've made the entire thing
- 1:46:04Speaker 22: ripe for illegal activity. And what they really don't want
- 1:46:08Speaker 22: is the exposure. These are the people who put through
- 1:46:10Speaker 22: the Stop Nick Shirley Act. They don't want anyone sniffing around.
- 1:46:13Speaker 22: So we've got to get it together. We only have
- 1:46:15Speaker 22: a handful of months to do it, and we'll see
- 1:46:17Speaker 22: if you can get it done.
- 1:46:18Speaker 4: Kyle Campbell, who is a veteran Republican strategist and also
- 1:46:23Speaker 4: the host of Politically Basic podcast, You're gonna want to
- 1:46:26Speaker 4: check out Kyle's great podcast, and Kyle, we're gonna have

- 1:46:36Speaker 4: you know, maybe I just need to broaden my horizons
- 1:46:39Speaker 4: just a smidge.
- 1:46:42Speaker 22: Well, Todd, you know, there's so much to report on.
- 1:46:44Speaker 22: We could talk all day about all this, but I
- 1:46:46Speaker 22: always love coming on your show. You're the absolute best
- 1:46:48Speaker 22: and I look forward to seeing that manicure next time

- 1:47:02Speaker 4: Great, great to hear from you. Great to see you.
- 1:47:05Speaker 4: By the way, Kyle is going to be a part
- 1:47:06Speaker 4: of our we're filming it. We're doing a TV show
- 1:47:08Speaker 4: based on the new book coming out, and we're going
- 1:47:12Speaker 4: to have Kyle with us. We're actually gonna be out
- 1:47:14Speaker 4: in California filming, so that's gonna be a lot of fun.
- 1:47:17Speaker 4: You know, It's funny, Dylan. I do go to a
- 1:47:19Speaker 4: lot of times. I have to go to church right after,
- 1:47:22Speaker 4: like on Wednesdays, right after the show, I have to
- 1:47:24Speaker 4: rush out and I don't have time to take off
- 1:47:26Speaker 4: the face which is bronzer. I don't know it's Bronzer
- 1:47:29Speaker 4: number nine or whatever. But anyway, on Sundays, people always
- 1:47:33Speaker 4: think I look sickly, Yeah.
- 1:47:36Speaker 13: Because you look very Yes, I don't know what to do.
- 1:47:40Speaker 4: So I'm gonna get out and get some tan, some
- 1:47:43Speaker 4: like natural sun tan. I do bronze up pretty good
- 1:47:46Speaker 4: in the summertime, though.
- 1:47:47Speaker 13: Well, you know, we have several parks here that you
- 1:47:50Speaker 13: can do that we do. We're just stand outside stair
- 1:47:52Speaker 13: at the sun.
- 1:47:54Speaker 4: That's well that too, all right. We got to take
- 1:47:56Speaker 4: a breaker, folks. Nine o one two six zero five
- 1:47:59Speaker 4: nine two six. Again, that's nine oh one two six
- 1:48:01Speaker 4: zero five nine two six. This is the Todd Stern Show,
- 1:48:15Speaker 4: all right. Coming up on tomorrow's edition of The Todd
- 1:48:18Speaker 4: Stern Show, Congressmanship, We'reroy's gonna drop by. We're gonna have
- 1:48:22Speaker 4: a great conversation, looking forward to a jam pack program.
- 1:48:28Speaker 4: Bar will also be doing a deep dive into what
- 1:48:31Speaker 4: happened at the primaries, especially in South Carolina, which South
- 1:48:35Speaker 4: Carolina really is a bellweather I think for this infighting,
- 1:48:40Speaker 4: this civil war that's brewing inside the Republican Party, and
- 1:48:46Speaker 4: it's going to come to a head, if not during
- 1:48:48Speaker 4: this election cycle, definitely as we begin to look towards
- 1:48:52Speaker 4: twenty twenty eight, and as we start to we start
- 1:48:56Speaker 4: the process of trying to figure out who in the
- 1:48:59Speaker 4: heck is going to be eating the America First Movement.
- 1:49:03Speaker 4: Is it going to be jd Vance, Is it going
- 1:49:05Speaker 4: to be Marco Rubio, or is it going to be
- 1:49:08Speaker 4: somebody else out there that maybe we haven't heard about
- 1:49:13Speaker 4: thus far. So anyway, we'll be talking about that tomorrow.
- 1:49:17Speaker 4: By the way, speaking of the economy, a lot of
- 1:49:20Speaker 4: people have have been really upset over the economy and saying, well,
- 1:49:25Speaker 4: you know, the economy is not all that strong. Well,
- 1:49:28Speaker 4: that is simply not true, and you know the numbers
- 1:49:33Speaker 4: certainly back that up. As a matter of fact. In
- 1:49:37Speaker 4: New Mexico especially, they are watching a huge boom when
- 1:49:42Speaker 4: it comes to industry moving into the state, jobs being created,
- 1:49:47Speaker 4: and it is a good thing. A stronger energy grid
- 1:49:51Speaker 4: could in fact power New Mexico's economy. So anyway, we'll
- 1:49:56Speaker 4: get into some of that tomorrow as well. Nine oh
- 1:49:59Speaker 4: one T two six zero five dine two six is
- 1:50:01Speaker 4: a our telephone over that's nine oh one two six
- 1:50:03Speaker 4: zero five nine two six. You know, a personal note
- 1:50:07Speaker 4: here and some exciting news for us. Many radio stations
- 1:50:11Speaker 4: around the nation, including many Christian radio stations around the nation.
- 1:50:14Speaker 4: Carrie my one minute commentary, and we do we do
- 1:50:19Speaker 4: two original commentaries every single day, and we're proudly broadcasting
- 1:50:25Speaker 4: on hundreds of radio stations across the nation. Well, this
- 1:50:28Speaker 4: year is our big anniversary fifteen years that I've been
- 1:50:33Speaker 4: doing the Todd Stearns News and commentary, and I just
- 1:50:38Speaker 4: can't say enough, thank yous. To all of the great
- 1:50:41Speaker 4: radio stations that are broadcasting that commentary. You know, many
- 1:50:45Speaker 4: years ago when I was at Fox News, Paul Harvey
- 1:50:48Speaker 4: had just passed away. Many of you remember Paul, and
- 1:50:53Speaker 4: the network was trying to offer something up that might
- 1:50:56Speaker 4: replace Paul Harvey. And a lot of radio stations when
- 1:50:59Speaker 4: Paul Hart be pasted, they wanted all that time back,
- 1:51:02Speaker 4: but they were okay with like a minute or two.
- 1:51:05Speaker 4: So we created the one minute commentary and it became
- 1:51:11Speaker 4: a great success. As a matter of fact, outside of
- 1:51:13Speaker 4: the five minute News service, it was the second most
- 1:51:15Speaker 4: popular feature that Fox News Radio offered, And so we
- 1:51:20Speaker 4: put together the commentaries and the rest is history. As
- 1:51:23Speaker 4: they say so again fifteen years. Thank you to so
- 1:51:27Speaker 4: much to all of our great affiliates who carry that
- 1:51:30Speaker 4: that commentary. Sorry I was slightly distracted. We do have
- 1:51:34Speaker 4: some breaking news to share with you as we're heading
- 1:51:37Speaker 4: off a breaking news out.
- 1:51:39Speaker 1: Of teching news now on the Todd starn Show.
- 1:51:42Speaker 4: Yeah, we understand from a Fox News channel our news
- 1:51:45Speaker 4: partners that a verdict has been reached in the Carmelo
- 1:51:49Speaker 4: Anthony murder trial. Again, this breaking news just happening. We
- 1:51:53Speaker 4: don't have much more information than that, I would recommend
- 1:51:57Speaker 4: listening to your local news radeo station at the top
- 1:52:01Speaker 4: of the hour. I'm sure they'll have more information. But
- 1:52:04Speaker 4: apparently that this went to the jury what yesterday, So
- 1:52:08Speaker 4: this is a pretty quick turnaround here when it comes
- 1:52:11Speaker 4: to a verdict. But again, a verdict has been reached,
- 1:52:14Speaker 4: we can tell you right now outside of the courthouse,
- 1:52:17Speaker 4: and Texas Police are surrounding the building and supporters of
- 1:52:22Speaker 4: Carmelo Anthony Carmelo are going crazy right now, so we'll
- 1:52:28Speaker 4: keep an eye on that. State police also on the scene.
- 1:52:33Speaker 4: Be sure to listen to your local news radio station
- 1:52:36Speaker 4: for the very latest. There. All right, folks, it's been
- 1:52:39Speaker 4: a great day again. Get out there, have a good one,
- 1:52:42Speaker 4: stay cool, drink some iced t or a doctor pepper.
- 1:52:45Speaker 4: We're going to see her right back here on the
- 1:52:46Speaker 4: radio two o'clock tomorrow.
