  Speaker 4: just oozing and flowing out of my TV screen over
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: the weekend, and from from President Trump giving that remarkable
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: speech in South Dakota at the foot of Mount Rushmore
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: to the spectacular fireworks display in Washington, DC. By the way,
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: the libs have lost their ever loving mind. The libtards
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: of America are going bonkers right now, and it is
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: a beautiful thing. But all I can tell you is this,
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: as I, as I observed all of the celebrations across
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: the fruited plane, that it is very clear to me,
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: ladies and gentlemen, that there are more people in this
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: country who love America than hate America. By the way,
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: welcome to the Ton Sterns Radio Show. What an honor
• 1:42

  Speaker 4: have a great conversation. By the way, we're going to
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: be taking your calls today as well. Did you what
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: did you do over the weekend and what did you
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: think about how President Trump commemorated America's two hundred and
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: fiftieth birthday. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: two six. Is are a telephone number? That's nine oh
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: one two six zero five nine two six. Here's how
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: great it was. Even Almighty God got in on the action.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: I mean there were some I mean you talk about
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: the Lord's fireworks displays. Wow, pretty remarkable. But these severe
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: storms caused all sorts of mayhem. And you know what,
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: the people stock They stuck around what Trump said, Almost
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: a half a million people showed up in the Washington Mall.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: And when you and I know I was, I was
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: getting a lot of blowback over this because the numbers
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: everybody plays the number numbers games. Nobody showed up, Todd,
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: nobody showed There was just nobody there. We all saw
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: the images. Now what you saw was about a half
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: a mile swath of the Washington Mall. That's a lot
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: of land, it's a lot of territory, A thousands of
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: people there. And I know that because we reached out
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: to folks that were running a lot of the boots
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: there at at the Great American State Fair, and they
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: weren't talking about that. They said the lines were insane,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: people were having a great time. And again, yes, the
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: heat was incredibly oppressive. And here's what gets me for it.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: In one breath, the media is saying nobody's there, and
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: the next minute they're saying everybody's dropping dead of heat
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: stroke and Trump is killing thousands of Americans. You can't
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: have it both ways. I mean, well, we don't want
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: anybody have any heat stroke. But again, it was hont
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: what are you gonna do. It's summertime, It's July, for
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: crying out loud. So anyway, a little bit later on,
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: we're gonna be talking to Andy Gibson. He is the
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Mississippi Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce. He is the coolest
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Southern voice. And I caused a little bit of a
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: kerfuffle with our good friend kat Camick, the congresswoman from
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: a Flaida. She and I were hate tweeting each other
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: over the weekends. It was ugly. It was ugly, Dylan,
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: But I said, hands down, and I'm from Tennessee, so
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: I so this this was a lot for me to say.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Hands down, Mississippi won the best booth of the Great
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: American State Fair. And you want to know why, Dylan,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Why they were serving homemade hot fresh out of the oven,
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: buttermilk biscuits.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you really can't beat that, honestly.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: No, they brought the game. They brought their game, Mississippi did.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: And I don't we going to say catfish?
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: No, well that hey, now that.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Would kind of be hard to bring to Uh.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: It was too hot for the grease. You know, It's
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: just a lot. There was a lot going on. But
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: I will say this, buttermilk biscuits beats whatever Florida was
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: given it. What oranges? Is that what they got? Come on,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: it's what were we giving away in Tennessee. Is what
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: we should have been given away? Like a little oh no, yes,
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Tennessee's Tennessee sipping whiskey. But they were giving away the
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: googoo clusters. Okay, not bad, not bad, but it was
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: like three hundred degrees. You're gonna you're gonna you're gonna
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: have like a gloog a goo goo blob is what
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: you're gonna have.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe some like iced whiskey that would have worked.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Well, okay, that'll work, you know. But again it's you
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: gotta up your game. Here's the thing. This is all
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: about bragging rights, right, So you can't have and I
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: think the state Fair goes on for another week or so,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: so you can't have like Rhode Island. I mean they
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: had like a pair of rocking chairs. Who cares? You
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: can do that at Cracker Barrel. You got to bring
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: your game. I don't know what does Rhode Island have,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Oh family guy. They should have put Peter Griffin in there.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that might have worked. I don't know.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: What was the name of the town, kual Hog or
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: whatever they call it.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Sure, I don't even watch that show.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: What a great show all that to say, Uh, it
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: was an incredible thing. It was. There was so much
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: America this weekend and I was looking at photos from
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: all over America and videos and people were coming out
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: and they were just celebrating. They were having so much fun.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: There was so much enthusiasm and the kids and moms
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: and dads and grandmas and grandpa's, everybody wearing the red,
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: white and blue. You had folks in the Southern States
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: dressed like the Founding Fathers shooting ar fifteens killing the British.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: It was beautiful. I mean, this is who we are
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: as America. And then there was well there was also
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: great violence as well. But before we get to that,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: I just want to say, even in Memphis. I know
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: people give Memphis a hard time and about to give
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: them a really hard time, but even in Memphis and
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: some of our neighborhoods, they would have neighborhood parades. And
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Dylan in my neighborhood in Germantown, where I don't want
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: to giveaway where I live, but we have a massive,
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: like lovely retirement community and all this were doing a
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: a golf cart parade, a fourth of July golf cart
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: and they had decorated their golf carts and they were
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: meet me, you know, as they were honking their horns horns,
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: and everybody was having a good old time.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Only in Germantown that you can get away with it.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: I think some guy was playing a banjo in the
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: back of a golf cart and I'm like, what the
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: heck is going on out there? So you know, they're
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: having a good time, and then you know, the fireworks,
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: and I didn't go out. It's so stinking hot, and
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: the cardiologist is like, I'm still recovering from this heart nonsense,
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: and so I had to stay inside. But it was
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: I was close enough to the fireworks where the giant windows.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: I had these like massive, you know, twelve foot fourteen
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: foot windows. It was like shaking that it was that loud.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I know that you're very close to that particular fireworks show,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: so you could probably see and hear them.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: It was shaking. Yes, you could feel it. You could
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: feel it. And I will say this what President Trump
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: did on the washing of all that was the largest
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: fireworks display in the history of mankind. They had the
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Guinness people out there, so this is like a huge
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: deal and people are going bonkers about this. As a
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: matter of fact, there were numerous people complaining about pollution
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: because of the smoke left over after the fireworks. These
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: people just hate, you know. It's not that they just
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: hate America. I think they hate themselves. I mean, these
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: are very miserable people. How can you not love our
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: great nation. After what we all went through yesterday, I
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: just don't get that. And by the way, some of
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: the oh where was it? There was a there's so
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: many churches around America celebrating, and it was so exciting
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: to see, you know, these celebrations in church houses across America,
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: where you know, the parishioners, the congregation wearing the red,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: white and blue and singing patriotic songs and just it's
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: a reminder that God has blessed America. By the way,
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: here's what what do we call is the Sessquintennial. That's
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: the big problem here is that back in nineteen seventy
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: six it was the bi centennial. Everybody said bi centennial.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Nobody can say what this is. It's like a tongue twister,
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: so we say happy to fifty. But people, I'm just
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: I came out of this weekend so so encouraged that
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: there are so many freedom loving Americans in this nation,
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: border to border, coast to coast, even in places like
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: New York City where you had folks coming out and
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: celebrating America wearing the red, white and blue. That tells
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: me that Trump is onto something. So all I can
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: say is well done. President Trump, the America two fifty
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Freedom two fifty. The events were just really incredible and
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: so inspirational, and then came what happened afterwards. So, you know,
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: I'm catching a lot of I'm catching a lot of
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: flak for this because there are a couple of communities.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: There's there's a very nice suburban community from Memphis called Bartlett,
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: and it's a lovely They've got a great town, great people,
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: wonderful folks, and they put on a massive I think
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: it is actually the largest fireworks display in the mid South,
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: and so they have thousands of people coming out for
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: this thing. So anyway, I started getting reports that there
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: were there were thugs and they call them thugs or
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: teen thugs, but they were mostly predominantly black kids, and
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: they came out and caused all sorts of ahem. They
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: weren't even from Bartlett my understandings, They came from Memphis
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: and other parts of the city and they caused mayhem.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: We were getting all these reports, reached out to the
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: reached out to the authorities, and initially they said, well,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: you know, you're gonna talk to the police. And it
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: took a while to get back and they all sort
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: of tried to downplay what hand. Well, it turns out
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: that they were firing. They were shooting fireworks into the crowd.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: They caused not one but two stampedes. Several people got injured.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Apparently one poor lady had some sort of like a
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: medical condition where she was a heart attack or something,
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: and she was in the hospital. They had to call ambulances.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: And this this mob, and it's all on video. That's
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: the crazy thing about this all on video. Then the
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: mob stormed a McDonald's and caused all sorts of mayhem there,
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: and they pretty much trashed the McDonald's. And then they
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: tried to storm a Kroger, but God blessed the manager
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: and the local police because they were able to stop
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: the thuglings from from going in and ransacking the Kroger.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: So anyway, I got word now because you know, we
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: reported on this, and we told that we were learning
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: people because folks need to know. And now we're coming
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: under fire. How dare you? They really did not want
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: to address what it hampened. They just wanted to kind
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: of sweep it under the rug. And then then in
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: downtown Proper on the night this is like after the
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: fourth July fireworks. You had mobs of again black teenagers
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: that were going around starting fights, and and Dylan, we've
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: posted all these the videos are insane.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're smart, you don't go to Bill straight
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: after fourth long.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: I have never seen I mean, we're not we're talking
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: about Melee's where people unbelievable.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: This fighting so aggressively.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's it's outrageous. And so my favorite, there's this
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: big old dude and he had like a duck dinast dude.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: There's a black dude and he and his girlfriend. I
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: guess these thugs tried to target him, and the guy
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: with one punch literally knocks out one of the thuglings,
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: knocks it out cold, and the next thing you know,
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: they've got like four or five piling on top, and
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: they were able to get the guy down. The guys
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: on his back on Beale Street and he's still punching
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: out the people that are on top of him. Then
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: one of them tries to grab the girlfriend and she
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: knocks the ever living daylights out of the other guy.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, it's hard not to laugh at this
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: stuff anyway.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: It's insane. Then a few hours later, I mean, people,
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: are you got these black kids running around shooting guns
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: in downtown. It's like the wild West out there. So anyway,
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: the National Guard comes in. They tell one of the
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: guys to stop, he's got a gun. The guy turns
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: around with the gun in his hand and points it
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: at the National Guard and what do they do? National
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Guard opens fire. And so now all you know what's
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: going to break loose over that they killed the thug.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: They killed the guy. But it wasn't just a Memphis
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: in Newport Beach, California, which is one of the wealthiest,
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: wealthiest communities in America, one of the wealthiest communities in America.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: And here's what's different between Memphis and Newport Beach, California.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: Not that many people got arrested in Memphis, not that many.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: But in Newport Beach, the thugs stormed the beaches, They
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: pillaged and plundered businesses, set I think ten businesses on fire.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: Then they went into a grocery store and apparently they
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: got triggered. I'm kid you not. There's the video. We've
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: got it up on our website, Todd Sterns dot com.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: By the way, all this video at Todd Sterns dot com.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: You got to go check this out. They literally attacked
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: the watermelon stands. And I don't know why they attacked
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: the watermelons. I don't know what the watermelons did to
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: these thugs, but it looked the carnage, Dylan. It was
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: heartbreaking to see the ripe, red flesh of the watermelons
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: splayed open for all the world to see, laying there
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: on the pavement, on the ground. And some guy was
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: photographed and you could tell the emotion in his voice.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: And this guy was act dressed like a hamburger and
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: he was wandering through and it's all on our website.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: By not making any of this up, and the guys like,
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: look what they did to the water melons, my god man,
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: And you know, Shane, that's all I can think of.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: I'm like, forget about the burning businesses. What do the
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: watermelons do to you people? Seriously, what's going on here?
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: Why attack a fruit? A melon, for God's sakes, a melon.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: I've got so much more to say about this. We're
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: gonna be opening up the phone lines nine oh one
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: two six zero five nine two six. Our telephone number.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: That's a nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: two six. This is the tod start show.
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: Somebody has to help this country, and if they don't,
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: the country and the world are in big trouble.
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: One of the most polarizing political figures in American history
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: gets a full scale defense. The America two fifty film
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: series presents Vindicating Trump. Go inside of battles, accusations, media storms,
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: and legal fights. That's shaped and historic comeback story. It's
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: Vindicating Trump this weekend Saturday and Sunday at seven pm
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: Eastern on Salem News Channel.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: So here's the question I have though, You've got all
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: these all these thugs out there, and it's happening all
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: over America. It's insane over and here's the difference between
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Newport Beach, California and what happened in Bartlett, Tennessee and Memphis, Tennessee.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Over the weekend. Over four hundred thugs were arrested in
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Newport Beach, California. They were actually charged with crimes. So
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: are they going to do it again? Who knows, But
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: I can tell you this much. They're going to be
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: They're they're they're going to be fined. Some of them
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: may go to jail. And that's the way we've got
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: to start treating all of these all of these kids. Look,
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: here's here's the deal, and this is this is the
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: problem there. Well, there there may be two problems here,
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: and I want to hear your thoughts about this. Number One,
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: you've got kids that are are being raised to hate America.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: You've also got a generation of young people that were
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: told they've been oppressed, that they were born into oppression
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: and they have a right to take what the white
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: man or the Asian man or the Hispanic man has
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: made there. They're being taught that in their schools, but
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: predominantly they're telling the kids that the people of the
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: Caucasian persuasion are the problems here. And that's why we're
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: seeing a lot of this violence directed at the white folks,
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: the hankies or salting Americans, if you will. So that's
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: one problem, you know. The other problem is you've got
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: kids that don't have any upbringing. You've got these are
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: feral kids. And I say feral in the sinse. There
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: is no training here. They're not domesticated. They're being raised
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: to behave even worse than the animals because there's not
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: a mom in the home, there's not a dad in
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: the home. Sometimes these kids are being raised by grandparents.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: There's literally there is a breakdown of the family in America.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: But there could be something else going on here. And
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: I do wonder if there is any sort of coordination
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: between the gang bangers across America and is this some
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: sort of a well funded effort between gang bangers and
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Antifa and the George Soros crowd to cause chaos in America?
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: And I'm wondering if or it just maybe a combo
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: platter of all of them. Nine oh one two six
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: zero five nine two six is our telephone number. That's
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: This is the Todd Sterns Show. All right, Welcome back, everybody.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: This is the Todd Starts Radio Show. By the way,
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: coming up, we're going to be talking to Congressman Steve
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: Toath from Texas. Also, Wendy Patrick will be here to
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: talk about this crazy violence not just in Newport Peach
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: but also Los Angeles and the growing threat of communism
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: in the Democrat Party. President Trump talking about that just
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: a little while ago. And then Andy Gibson from the
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Mississippi Department of Agriculture is going to be along. That's
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: going to be a fun conversation our telephone number nine
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: oh one two six zero five nine two six. That's
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: nine oh one two six zero five to nine to six.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: So look, I want to go all the way back
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: to the year of our Lord. Twenty twenty. Marco Rubio
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: was driving around town and he made a very interesting
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: observation about the rise of socialism. And this was again
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: six years ago, and Marco Rubio, whose family fled communism
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: in Cuber, he's got some skin in this game. And
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: here's what Marco Rubio said back in twenty twenty cut
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: number seven.
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: Please, democratic socialism sounds benign, but at the core of
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: democratic socialism is Marxism. And at the core of Marxism
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: is this fake offer that if you turn over more
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: of your individual freedom, we're going to provide you security,
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: We're going to provide you free healthcare, we're going to
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: provide you free education. But the problem is that when
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: they can't deliver on it, or when you're not happy
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: with it, you don't get your freedoms back. And by freedoms,
• 20:50
  Speaker 8: I don't just mean elections. I'm talking about the right
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: to choose your own doctor, the right to make health
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: care decisions for yourself, what your kids learn in.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: School, what schools they go to.
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: All that stuff you lose control over and you don't
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: get it back just because the security they promised you
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: didn't happen. So that's what we're on the vergin having
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: to decide here in this country. It's the reason why
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: people flee countries that have this stuff. It's a big
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: deal for America, and I hope people start waking up
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: to that reality.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: So he predicted all of this what was going to
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: happen back in twenty twenty. I did it back in
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: twenty sixteen when we first started doing the Todd Strange
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: National radio show. We have been monitoring this every single day,
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: and I am not surprised by where we are right now.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: So the President over the weekend pretty much declared war
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: on communism, and he said he framed it like he said,
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: it was a holy war. Now, a lot of people
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: are upset about that language, and I'm going to get
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: to that in just a moment. But here is President
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: Trump cut number two.
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: That's already huge now and a lot of these his
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: are a team.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: And look at Trump cass and to see hundreds of
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: thousan dollars less Engel they'll walk away from and think.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: About few guardians for Randon.
• 22:05
  Speaker 9: Do you think this will go down as one of them,
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: if not be Senator policy achievements.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: I hope, so I think it will. I really believe
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: it's going to be one.
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: I think We've done a lot of great things, but
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: I think this will be one of the top. It's
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: going to teach children to be entrepreneurial as opposed to
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: the threat of communism that you're seeing a lot. This
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: is not social democrats, by the way, that's a beautiful
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: we're social democrats.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: They say they're not social they're communists. They want to
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: destroy our country. We're not going to let that happen.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: No, we're not going to let it happen. And the
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: President in know in certain terms, that was the President
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: just a few moments ago in the in the Oval
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: Office announcing the announcing that the Czechs for kids the
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Trump accounts. We'll get to that in a minute, but
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: I want to go back over the weekend because the
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: President really did a wonderful job of explaining what it's
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: actually going on here. And we're going to place some
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: audio here in just a moment of President Trump declaring
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: that the fight against communism is a holy war. Democrats
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: are losing their ever loving minds over this. But what
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: you have to do is go all the way back
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: and hello, let me know when we get this. We've
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: got it, all right. Let's go ahead and listen to
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: the president here with one flag.
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: And as our Declaration of Independence tells us, we are
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: all made in the image of one almighty God.
• 23:40
  Speaker 10: And a communist will never say that, that's for sure.
• 23:45
  Speaker 10: Few heroes remind us of these truths more than William Carny,
• 23:50
  Speaker 10: who escaped slavery to become a Union soldier in the Civilian.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: All right, so there you go. That was President Trump
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: over the weekend. Now people are saying, oh, the president's
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: declaring some sort of a crusade, like a jihad. No,
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: the President has correctly identified what this is really all about.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: It really is a holy war. Ronald Reagan and William F.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Buckley Junior knew all about this back in the nineteen
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: fifties and sixties and the rise of the modern conservative movement.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, Ronald Reagan actually framed the
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: entire Cold War as a spiritual struggle between freedom and atheism.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: And so that's why, especially during the Reagan administration, you
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: saw that Reagan's foreign policy was really influenced heavily by
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: the teachings of the Bible. William F. Buckley Junior as well,
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: and he wrote a book Go Back God and Man
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: at Yale talking even then about the rise of atheism
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: and communism on our university campuses, including the Ivy League
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: and especially the Ivy League. You remember in nineteen eighty three,
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: some of you old timers will remember, in nineteen eighty three,
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: Reagan attacked the Soviet Union as what an evil empire.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: And then, if you remember, in nineteen eighty two, Ronald
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: Reagan formed an alliance with Pope John Paul the Second,
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: and it was really a two pronged attack. One was
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: political and the other was moral, or if you want
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: to frame it like this, the church and the state
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: working together. So Reagan using his platform to again warn
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: people that only God, only God, could triumph over the
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: Communist As a matter of fact, in nineteen eighty five, Reagan,
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: in a speech on religious liberty, declared that the inherent
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: desire for God could never be crushed by Soviet authorities,
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: which is why the church, the Orthodox Church, was so
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: vitally important to ultimately destroying the Soviet Union. So yes,
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: this is when you talk about communism. This is about
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: a religious struggle. This is good versus evil. So well
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: done President Trump for identifying and again reaffirming what our
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: conservative forefathers, Ronald Reagan and William F. Buckley Junior and
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: others so rightly recognized back in the day. Nine oh
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: one two six zero five nine two six is our
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero five,
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: nine two six. And by the way, this this threat
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: of communist it is not going away. It is not
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: going away. And President Trump says, we've got to cut
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: it out. Cut number three.
• 26:58
  Speaker 11: Of the Americans in the communist system has never worked.
• 27:03
  Speaker 11: Our warriors did not fight communism on battlefields across the
• 27:07
  Speaker 11: world only to have that menace rear its ugly head
• 27:11
  Speaker 11: right back here in America.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: We're not going to let it happen.
• 27:19
  Speaker 10: We'd like to stop a threat like that immediately and
• 27:23
  Speaker 10: before it begins.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Just like a cancer, you got to cut it out.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: You got to cut it out fast.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: And he's absolutely right. So how can we do that.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: First of all, we have got to increase, increase the deportations.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: Second of all, we're going to take a long, hard
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: look at who we have allowed into this country and
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: who we have naturalized as citizens. The idea that Zoron
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: man Dami, a Uganda national who just became a citizen
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: eight years ago, is now the leader, the mayor of
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: the largest city in America, and he is the facto
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: leader of the Democrat Party and he's lecturing all the
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: rest of us on what's wrong with America. That's a problem.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Those kinds of people that they don't believe, they don't
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: belong in America. And here's my take on this, and
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: this is a hard line approach, ladies and gentlemen. But
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: if you are a naturalized citizen and you hate our
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: nation and you are working on American soil to destabilize
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: the Republic, you gotta go. You gotta go. Some people say, well,
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: you know it's American. They got they got free speek. No,
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: they got a right to go back to their home country.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: That's what they've got to write for. Nine oh one
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: two six zero five nine two six is our telephone number.
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: But they got to go, all of them got to go,
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: and the Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullet announcing they've
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: had what almost four thousand illegals a day are getting deported.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: That's not that's great, but that's not good enough. It
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: needs to be at least twice as many. I think
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: we've got to have at least nine thousand deportations today
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: just to get to the level of Barack Hussein Obama.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: So that's how that's how far we've got to go here.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: So yeah, we're making and the administration is making great headway,
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: but we cannot ease up. We cannot. We cannot allow
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: the illegals to rule the day in America. It's really
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: that's I mean, it really is that simple. Nine oh
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: one two six zero five done two six is our
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: telephone omber. That's nine oh one two six zero five
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: done two six. I want to tell you about my

• 30:49
  Speaker 4: Conservative from Cordova, Tennessee listening to us on KWAM high
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: Black Conservative, what's on your mind today?
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: Uh? Good at Phinoon. I am no aradite mind, aerdite mind,
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: brilliant thinker and political philosopher and had an opportunity to
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: speak to you on on the mighty nine to ninety
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: is a major accomplishment.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: Yes, it is black conservative. You should we should have
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: a certificate. We should get you a frame certificate.
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: We had the greatest president in modern history. President Trump
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: spoke brilliantly yesterday to undermine this radical marks company's agenda,
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: exposing it with it was great, you know, but I
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: spent my time in my with my family and my
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: pretty little wife. We spent our time celebrating the greatness
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: of America and enjoying the red, white, and blue, while
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: Democrats spend their time trashing the country, trying to undermine,
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: you know, America's two hundred and fifty birthday. And it's
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: a sad commentary. And even Barack Obama disappointed me with
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: a post he had the other day. I mean, with
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: that crazy library they got looked like a big garbage dumpster,
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: but oh in Chicago. But he disappointed me trying to
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: remind us of the failures of America. You know, it's
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: like these democrats, they just can't enjoy the greatness the
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: achievement of this country, a relative young civilization two fifty years,
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: a relative young country civilization for us pertaining to their
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: independency but Democrats. That's all I saw yesterday and Fox
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: News website or the website and senators congressmen giving you know,
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: a little short sound bite statement. They got to say
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: something and negative either by the president or what happened
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: in America four hundred years ago. It's just a sad commentary.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: I heard that, and I was just so disappointed with
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: Barack Obama trying to you know, tender to his you know,
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: to the to his you know base. He's the radical
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: you know, part of his base. So but here's what
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: really happened. While the American people, mainstream America were celebrating
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: the greatness of the country, what was happening in North
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: Carolina and California with this team takeover and these majority
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: of black communities over do you know, Toddy, there was
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: over at least fifty shooting injuries taking place. They was
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: killing each other.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, black or black crime?
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 33:57
  Speaker 12: Why.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: At the same time on yesterday, on Sunday morning, the
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: black Littal preachers in the.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: Poor pit.
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: Talking about what happened with segregation and Jim Crow and
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: Yatta Data, Yata, the Blacks were shooting and killing each
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: other doing the same thing that they played at the
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: KKK did to them.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: It's true, you're right.
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, all over the place, yet they're shooting killing.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: The six ten year old boar was shot and killed
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: in Indiana. I mean, it's a sad commentary. And I'm
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: saying to myself, kayok, not at least once, thank God
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: for the blessings that we're all enjoy in America, being
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: here in America. If you don't like this country, if
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: you don't like being America, if you're gonna hold it
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: against us, the sins of America against them, then go
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: back to where the other countries and experienced life.
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: That jelta is ready when you are. That's what I
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: always say, Black Conservative. We're up against a heard break,
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: my friend. But it's always good hearing from you. The
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: conversation indeed lived up to expectations. It was aerdite, good, good,
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: good to hear from you. Well, sorry we lost Black Conservative.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: All right, we do have today a quick break. Hang tight,
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: your calls coming up next. All right, welcome back, everybody.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: It's the Todd Sterns Radio Show, and let's go right
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: to our phone lines. Lindsa in Texas. Side, Linda, what's
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: on your mind today?
• 35:36
  Speaker 13: Well, I'm very disturbed. Well, first of all, can I
• 35:40
  Speaker 13: just say that I welcome any legal immigrants it comes
• 35:45
  Speaker 13: to this country and assimilates and actually embraces our.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: Culture and our history a thousand person.
• 35:53
  Speaker 13: But I live near a couple towns here in Texas,
• 36:00
  Speaker 13: sugar Land, for one, and it is overrun by Muslims.
• 36:05
  Speaker 13: And I was in a local grocery store recently and
• 36:09
  Speaker 13: three women in totally black garbs with just the slips
• 36:13
  Speaker 13: walked by me and I didn't realize, I said, I said,
• 36:16
  Speaker 13: I can't believe I'm in Texas, and the lady sending
• 36:20
  Speaker 13: next standing next to said, oh, I agree with you.
• 36:23
  Speaker 13: I mean, this is just ridiculous, and I feel that
• 36:26
  Speaker 13: they are actually joining with these so called social democrats.
• 36:33
  Speaker 13: I question whether that woman in Colorado that won her
• 36:37
  Speaker 13: primary who's from also from Ethiopia, whether you know she
• 36:42
  Speaker 13: is also a Muslim. And I just feel like some
• 36:46
  Speaker 13: people are just not seeing this, and it's really frustrating
• 36:49
  Speaker 13: to me.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: Linda. I share your concern, and we've heard from a
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: lot of folks in the in the Houston area, especially
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: about what's happening across the state, and it's this is
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: not a coincidence. This is all very intentional, and the
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: effort is to destabilize the nation, and it is something
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: that we all need to be very concerned about because
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: ultimately the Muslims are using the communist to ultimately accomplish
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: their agenda, which is the takeover of America. Linda, I
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: gotta leave it there, but I want you to give
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: us a call back one of these days and we'll
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: continue that conversation. Coming up right after the break. This
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: is the Todd Stearns Radio Show, Hour two coming up next.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: America's favorite gun, Total Bible Clinging, Deplorable America.
• 37:53
  Speaker 13: That's us.
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: Starts all right, Hello, everybody, Welcome to the Ton Starnes
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: Radio Show. Great to have you with us today. Hour
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: two underway. Coming up, we're going to be talking to
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: Wendy Patrick from Newsmax about the insane violence over the
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: weekend in California as well as other parts of the country.
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: Also Betsy Brantner Smith, who is from the National Police Association.
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: She has some things to say about what happened in
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: New York City with that NYPD officer getting shot over
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: the weekend and by the way, Congressman, or rather Commissioner
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: Andy Gibson from Mississippi. He's Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce,
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: and he made headlines over the weekend in Washington, d C.
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: As he manned the Mississippi booth and passed out fresh
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: homemade biscuits to folks who showed up at the Great
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: American State Fair. But right now I want to go
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. Welcome our good friend
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: from the great state of Texas. Congressman Steve toaf Congresson.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: I hope you're doing well today.
• 39:06
  Speaker 9: Great to be with you, Todd.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: All right, first of all, before we get into the
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: politics of the day, are you still dealing with the
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: euphoria over what just happened over the weekend? What an
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: incredible America two fifty celebration.
• 39:19
  Speaker 9: My goodness, I had had friends and relatives. I wish
• 39:24
  Speaker 9: I could have been in DC for it. I was not,
• 39:28
  Speaker 9: had friends and relatives there, and they said, Steve, you
• 39:30
  Speaker 9: just could not put words to just how awesome this was,
• 39:36
  Speaker 9: how memorable this was. This will be something that they're
• 39:39
  Speaker 9: going to take to their grave. It was just it
• 39:41
  Speaker 9: was just, man, God has so blessed the United States
• 39:46
  Speaker 9: of America. I wish that we could all embrace what
• 39:50
  Speaker 9: he has done for us, what he has given us,
• 39:52
  Speaker 9: the legacy that we have to cherish. I mean, praise God.
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: Think so thankful, Congressman all I could well. In addition
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: to that, I was thanking God that Kamala Harris was
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: not in charge of the America two fifty celebration.
• 40:07
  Speaker 9: Can you imagine, brother, how bad that would have been.
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: Oh, I can't even I don't even want to go there.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: It's just it would be too tragic. But it was
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: just a wonderful, wonderful event. And I will say this,
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: the big ships passing through New York Harbor, the whole
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: I mean everything from coast to coast, you know, the
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: small towns and communities. Well done for the entire country.
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: That's when I say, Congressman, we do have a lot
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: of a lot of news to cover and a lot
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: of ground to cover. We just had a caller on
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: from Houston, Linda from Houston, and she was very concerned
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: about something that's happening in Texas with not just the
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: rise of communism but also the rise of radical Islam
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: in Texas. Is that an are those issues that are
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: on your radar as we watched the communists take over
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: the Democrat Party.
• 40:57
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think the rise of shrim in Texas and
• 41:01
  Speaker 9: across the United States is an existential threat. It's not
• 41:05
  Speaker 9: possibly an existential threat. It is an existential threat. The
• 41:09
  Speaker 9: enemy isn't at the gate. The enemy is at art
• 41:13
  Speaker 9: is inside the gate. The enemy is here, right here
• 41:16
  Speaker 9: and now. And look, this isn't an issue. This isn't
• 41:19
  Speaker 9: an issue of First Amendment. This isn't an issue of
• 41:22
  Speaker 9: the establishment clause and going after a religion. Sharia is
• 41:26
  Speaker 9: not a religion. Emoms Islamic Elams acknowledge. Sharia is a law.
• 41:35
  Speaker 9: Sharia is a government system that is trying to be
• 41:38
  Speaker 9: created inside the boundaries of Texas, inside the United States,
• 41:44
  Speaker 9: and it will destroy this republic because its aim is
• 41:48
  Speaker 9: to destroy this republic and any republic that it joins.
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: I can't help but think about what happened over the
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: weekend where you had this just same speech delivered by
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: the mayor of New York City's around Mandammi from George
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: Washington's desk, where he attacks American exceptionalism. He attacked the nation.
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: Here's a guy that's not even been to the country,
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: what eight years, he's been a naturalized citizen eight or
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: nine years, and he's he's attacking our way of life.
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: And this is a big problem here, Congressman. Is a
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: lot of these folks that have been naturalized as citizens
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: literally hate our country and want to destroy it.
• 42:28
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 42:29
  Speaker 9: Same, here's the sad thing. I talked with a friend
• 42:30
  Speaker 9: of mine that was from you know, when it was
• 42:33
  Speaker 9: a Johnson Johnson many years ago. I had the northeast
• 42:35
  Speaker 9: part of the United States and Canada, and Bill said
• 42:38
  Speaker 9: to me said, Canada, Canada is is is Basically you know,
• 42:44
  Speaker 9: the United States is a melting pot where he said,
• 42:48
  Speaker 9: he said, we're a clause, we're sewn together, and we're
• 42:53
  Speaker 9: starting to frame and tear a part at the scenes.
• 42:55
  Speaker 9: We need to be more like a melting pot like
• 42:57
  Speaker 9: the United States, and we are. We are turning away
• 43:01
  Speaker 9: from being that this wonderful melting pot where where people
• 43:06
  Speaker 9: come here and they become part of and they add
• 43:09
  Speaker 9: to the beauty of what it is to be an
• 43:11
  Speaker 9: American citizen, and we're losing that. We're becoming this tribalistic
• 43:20
  Speaker 9: country where we're starting to tear each other apart. And
• 43:24
  Speaker 9: this is what mendab this is what this is what Islamism.
• 43:29
  Speaker 9: This is what these different people from around the country
• 43:32
  Speaker 9: want to do to us. This is what socialism expects
• 43:36
  Speaker 9: of us. That we're going to tear each other apart,
• 43:38
  Speaker 9: and it's it's awful.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: Congressman, I know that you've been really concerned about these reports,
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: and I'm just shocked to hear this news. Are you
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: telling my understanding is American hospitals are actually advertising maternity
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: birth packages too foreign nationals. Is that true?
• 43:57
  Speaker 9: That is absolutely one percent true. You can look at
• 44:00
  Speaker 9: the advertisements, the billboards that they're putting in Mexico right now,
• 44:04
  Speaker 9: and Todd, the thing that really gets me is that
• 44:07
  Speaker 9: these are hospitals that have state funding. These are hospitals
• 44:11
  Speaker 9: that have federal funding. And so yeah, for you to
• 44:14
  Speaker 9: come here for a vaginal birth at for thirty five
• 44:17
  Speaker 9: hundred dollars, for a c section at five thousand dollars,
• 44:21
  Speaker 9: these are hospitals too, that are using our taxpayer dollars
• 44:25
  Speaker 9: to do this. And here's the here's the really crazy
• 44:28
  Speaker 9: thing is that already nearly fifty already over fifty percent
• 44:33
  Speaker 9: of the births in Texas are Medicaid births and these
• 44:37
  Speaker 9: are hospitals that want to increase that and while at
• 44:40
  Speaker 9: the same time giving citizenship to these people so they
• 44:43
  Speaker 9: can come back in here at a later day and
• 44:46
  Speaker 9: influence our elections. Hell no, this has got to stop.
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: It's this is just insane to me, and yet not
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: much of a surprise the Supreme Court ruling. Where do
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: they get this wrong? A birthright citizenship?
• 45:02
  Speaker 9: Where do I start? I mean, this was this was
• 45:07
  Speaker 9: absolutely one of the greatest mistakes that John Roberts Is
• 45:12
  Speaker 9: ever has ever hoisted on this country. But look, it's
• 45:17
  Speaker 9: done with. It's in the rear view mirror.
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 45:19
  Speaker 9: Congress has got to get its ass in gear and
• 45:22
  Speaker 9: get to work because we've been given the roadmap in
• 45:26
  Speaker 9: the in this opinion on how to correct this. Congress
• 45:29
  Speaker 9: has got to correct this. We don't need a constitutional amendment,
• 45:33
  Speaker 9: we don't need to change the fourteenth Amendment. Congress has
• 45:36
  Speaker 9: got to act today at fixing this. And if the
• 45:39
  Speaker 9: Senate won't do it, you know, then then they truly
• 45:45
  Speaker 9: do want the demise of the United States, because this
• 45:47
  Speaker 9: is something that we can fix right away.
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: We have Congressman Steve Toth joining us from the great
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: state of Texas Congressman again, when you look at this
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: birth tour, my concern is, I mean, and by everybody thinks, oh,
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: it's all these folks coming across the you know, from
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: south of the border countries, I'm more concerned about about
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: China and the fact that I mean, I've heard what
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: some numbers, up to a million, a million Chinese pregnant
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: women have had their babies here on American soil. What happens,
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: what happens of years from now, Because if somebody, if
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: if one of those Chinese babies is born here, they
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: had the right to run for president one day, their
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: allegiance may not necessarily be to the United States of America, Todd.
• 46:33
  Speaker 9: What if what if just what if they sent a
• 46:37
  Speaker 9: couple hundred thousand to Georgia. What if they sent a
• 46:42
  Speaker 9: couple hundred thousand to Minneapolis to Detroit, Michigan, and they
• 46:47
  Speaker 9: flipped and they and they just they just flipped a
• 46:51
  Speaker 9: purple state blue. They could do that very easily. I mean,
• 46:55
  Speaker 9: it's just this is this is not out of the
• 46:59
  Speaker 9: realm of them to do this. These are our enemies.
• 47:03
  Speaker 9: They're not our friends. China is our enemy. And I'm
• 47:08
  Speaker 9: just a gas at what the Supreme Court has done
• 47:10
  Speaker 9: to us. They should be ashamed of themselves. And now, Congress,
• 47:14
  Speaker 9: we've got to pick this up, and we've got to
• 47:16
  Speaker 9: get this done, and we've got to get it done yesterday.
• 47:18
  Speaker 9: We can stop this. Now.
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: What do you want? What do you want the Senate
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: to do? Congressman?
• 47:24
  Speaker 9: I want the Senate. I want Congress. I'm not there yet,
• 47:28
  Speaker 9: but I want as soon as I get there. But
• 47:30
  Speaker 9: before I get there, I want them to take us
• 47:32
  Speaker 9: up today now and to overturn. Basically, all they have
• 47:37
  Speaker 9: to do is spodify the executive orders into law that
• 47:40
  Speaker 9: outlaws birthright citizenship. The courts have said you can't do
• 47:43
  Speaker 9: this as an executive order. Fine, okay, let's get it done. Congress,
• 47:47
  Speaker 9: come on today. We don't need a constitutional amendment. We
• 47:50
  Speaker 9: all we need is law. We need to codify this
• 47:53
  Speaker 9: into law now.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: Congressman Steve Tothe joining us on the Patriot Mobile News,
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: make her line. And Congressman, this is going to be
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: a big issue moving forward as we get closer to
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: the midterms. The President tripling that quadrupling down now, I
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: guess even more than that on the the Save America Act,
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: which and I just hate to break it to people
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: and correct me if I'm wrong here. I don't see
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: John Thune moving on this at all. They're not budging.
• 48:24
  Speaker 9: John Thune should be a shamed of himself. John Thune
• 48:27
  Speaker 9: does not love America. John Thune does not care about America.
• 48:31
  Speaker 9: John Thune cares more about the institution of the Senate
• 48:34
  Speaker 9: more than he cares about this country. And that is just,
• 48:38
  Speaker 9: in my mind, just absolutely disgusting, because at the end
• 48:41
  Speaker 9: of the day, if Democrats ever take control of the Senate,
• 48:46
  Speaker 9: they have told us Todd what they will do. They
• 48:49
  Speaker 9: have told us that they will make the District of
• 48:51
  Speaker 9: Columbia the fifty first state. They've told us that they'll
• 48:54
  Speaker 9: make Puerto Rico the fifty second state, which you will
• 48:57
  Speaker 9: give them four additional senators. Told us that they will
• 49:02
  Speaker 9: take the nuclear option right away. They have told us
• 49:05
  Speaker 9: that they will pack the courts. They will told us
• 49:07
  Speaker 9: they will do everything they can to destroy America so
• 49:11
  Speaker 9: that it is unrecognizable to us. There will be no
• 49:15
  Speaker 9: looking back two hundred and fifty years from now to
• 49:17
  Speaker 9: see that America did the right thing. America will turn
• 49:21
  Speaker 9: towards socialism and we will be forever destroyed because of
• 49:24
  Speaker 9: John Foon and his inability and his failure to love America.
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: Just a shock a Congressman, We're going to have to
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: leave it there, but we appreciate you fighting the good
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: fight here and appreciate you shining some light on this
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: a crazy story involving American hospitals. Thank you again, Congressman.
• 49:43
  Speaker 9: God bless you.
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: All Right, Wow, just folks, this is insane, just insanity,
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: but not surprising now that the Supreme Court has given
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: the go ahead for every single woman in the world
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: to give birth to their baby on American soil. Do
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: you understand and how you understand how this is going
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: to play out? And the fact that American hospitals are
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: now advertising maternity birth packages. We are becoming the birth
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: tourism capital of the world. All Right, gotta take a
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: break here. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: two six. This is the Todd Sterns Show. All right,
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: Welcome back, everybody. This is the Tod Sterns radio Show. Well,
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: I suppose I should probably share this info with you.
• 50:39

• 50:42
  Speaker 4: years or so, I've been doing a daily one hour

  Speaker 4: show on Newsmax, and we are we are going to
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: be ramping that up at the end of the month.
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: And one of the reasons why is the reality of
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: with the heart surgery and all that kind of stuff,
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: I've got to start taking a little bit easy these days.
• 51:05

• 51:37
  Speaker 4: following doctors orders. They say I'm not a spring chicken anymore,
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: and I don't know what that means, but any I
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: think it means I'm getting old. So anyway, it's been

  Speaker 4: a lot of fun, and we'll be telling you more
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: about our plans. This has been This has really been

  Speaker 4: tell you this is one of my longer books. I'm
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: a little over well, three hundred and eight pages, and
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: it also has some photos of me and the President here.
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: So they've done a really nice job. Humanics Publishers. They
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: are the publishing wing of Newsmax, and they did a
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: nice job. So there you go, The Golden Age, How
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: Trump Saved America. Nine oh one two six zero five
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: nine two six is our telephone number. That's nine oh
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: one two six zero five to nine to six. I
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: want to play some audio here. This is President Trump.
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: I gotta tell you the guy is he's he's funny
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: as all get out. Cut Number nine plays what.
• 54:23
  Speaker 15: They're doing with well, except it was announced about two
• 54:27
  Speaker 15: days ago, the new NUMBERSS came out.
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: You know who the number one person in Tiktak is
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: by far? Trump me, I just.
• 54:35
  Speaker 15: Got they I'm number one, like Taylor Swift was number eleven.
• 54:41
  Speaker 15: I'm number one in TikTok by far. And the numbers
• 54:45
  Speaker 15: SIS came out and they said, well, you know, I'm
• 54:47
  Speaker 15: hearing about how they influence. They're talking about their tremendous danger.
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: Because the influence.
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: Did he say, tik tak? Isn't that the breath freshener.
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: It's TikTok t take TikTok time? All right, thank you,
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: ther Parker. I was I was just wondering, by the way,
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: Big game time. We'll talk about this coming up this hour,
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: Big match tonight, right, fantastic Look Brazil and the United.
• 55:12
  Speaker 16: States, Belgium and the United States.
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: Is it Belgium? Yeah, Brazil, Brazil got whooped. All right,
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: that's it. I forgot about that. And then England's all in.
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: You know, the Mexicans, they're all upset and really furious.
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: But anyway, we'll talk more about the sports a little
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: bit later on. But yeah, the United States and Belgium
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: coming up tonight. That's gonna be a good, a good match.
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: They're accusing President Trump of putting the thumb on the scales,
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: and I don't care. I don't care. I want my
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: president to do that. I don't care if you're a
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: Republican or Democrat. It's about American patriotism, for God's sakes.
• 55:50
  Speaker 16: It shows he cares about the country.
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: That's he and he loves sports. So look, I mean,
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: if you've got a guy in the White House and
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: he loves soccer and he can help you out out
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: of a fan, then I say go for it. So
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: all you unpatriotic traders out there rooting for Belgium, shame
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: on you. All Right, we got to take a break here.
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: We'll be right back, all right, Parker, This is sort
• 56:25
  Speaker 4: of exciting breaking news. FIFA has rejected Belgium's appeal of
• 56:32
  Speaker 4: the red card.
• 56:33
  Speaker 16: Music's my earstod to start the day.
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: There you go. Look and again, a lot of people
• 56:38
  Speaker 4: are really upset with President and Trump over this, but
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: I say that, well done, mister president. It's our team.
• 56:46
  Speaker 4: Our president is standing up for our team exactly.
• 56:49
  Speaker 17: I think the fact that he went out of his
• 56:51
  Speaker 17: way for a red card that probably should not have
• 56:53
  Speaker 17: been a red card in the first place, and to
• 56:56
  Speaker 17: make a stand and make an impact now, and it
• 56:59
  Speaker 17: gives America a better chance to win a big mess tonight.
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: It certainly does. And but to see all of the
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: Democrats now saying, Okay, we're rooting for Belgium, What is
• 57:08
  Speaker 4: wrong with you? People like that?
• 57:11
  Speaker 17: Just like the most unpatriotic thing I've ever seen. This
• 57:14
  Speaker 17: is the biggest game in American soccer history.
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: Have you no pride in your nation? Ladies and zelemen?
• 57:20
  Speaker 4: Then you got the senator from Arizona wearing a Mexican
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: jersey last night? How dare you, sir?
• 57:28
  Speaker 16: Unbelievable?
• 57:29
  Speaker 17: That is a tough rooting scenario for the US fans. England,
• 57:33
  Speaker 17: who you got independence from, and then Mexico maybe rooting
• 57:36
  Speaker 17: for a tie at that point.
• 57:37
  Speaker 4: Well, we've already whipped England once, so do it well,
• 57:41
  Speaker 4: actually twice, you got the War of eighteen twelve. So
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: all right, I want to go to the Patriot mobile.
• 57:45
  Speaker 4: Newsmaker lines settled to our good friend Wendy Patrick, Newsmax Columnists.
• 57:49
  Speaker 4: Great attorney, Wendy. Are you a big soccer fan?
• 57:55
  Speaker 18: I am now ever since the World Cup began. I
• 57:59
  Speaker 18: mean I've been following it along with everyone else. But
• 58:01
  Speaker 18: you know what I thought was interesting about President Trump
• 58:04
  Speaker 18: weighing in is he admitted Hugh was watching it too.
• 58:07
  Speaker 18: He knows the names of the players on our team.
• 58:10
  Speaker 18: I mean, who knew. I mean, somehow he's able to
• 58:13
  Speaker 18: fill his mind with everything on every subject.
• 58:15
  Speaker 19: It's just incredible. The man never sleeps. But yes, I'm
• 58:18
  Speaker 19: becoming more and more of.
• 58:19
  Speaker 18: A fan the more we as a country really get
• 58:22
  Speaker 18: excited about these games.
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: By the way, President Trump just moments ago calling out
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: Nicki Minaje, who says she's a great performer and she's
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: also quote in the President's words, quote hot. So there
• 58:35
  Speaker 4: you go. The President. He's in a good mood today
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: with thee. And you have to be in a great
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: mood after what we all just went through over the weekend.
• 58:45
  Speaker 4: What a glorious time to be an American.
• 58:47
  Speaker 18: I'll tell you this was over the top is the
• 58:50
  Speaker 18: best way I can characterize the weekend's festivities. I mean,
• 58:54
  Speaker 18: everything from from drones to planes to fireworks, whether or notwithstanding,
• 59:00
  Speaker 18: you know, they just took breaks and then started it
• 59:01
  Speaker 18: up again, and in so many different landmark locations. I
• 59:05
  Speaker 18: mean Mount Rushmore alone was absolutely phenomenal to watch in
• 59:09
  Speaker 18: real time, and then the events on the mall. I mean,
• 59:13
  Speaker 18: it's one of those days, in one of those weekends
• 59:15
  Speaker 18: that really brought so many people together and dominated headlines everywhere.
• 59:19
  Speaker 18: It was almost disappointing to see the reaction of some
• 59:23
  Speaker 18: on the left to what was just what they've probably
• 59:26
  Speaker 18: enjoyed as well as a fabulous weekend of patriotism.
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: Well, there was a lot of patriotism, Wendy, but also
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: a lot of violence, and I think for me the shocker.
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: There was a lot of it. But in Newport Beach,
• 59:38
  Speaker 4: which is really one of the wealthiest places to live
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: in the nation. I've spent some vacation time down there
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: at the Ritz Carlton, which is a smidge pricey, but
• 59:49
  Speaker 4: it's a beautiful area and you would not expect that
• 59:52
  Speaker 4: to be a place where people would riot.
• 59:56
  Speaker 19: Yeah, Todd, this was a real shocker.
• 59:58
  Speaker 18: You had over four hundreds rests, hundreds of law enforcements
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 18: from seventeen different agencies deployed to try to quell the violence.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 18: You know, this was billed as a TikTok turnover. I mean,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 18: this is one of those things that you just have
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 18: to imagine. Was so easy, sadly, to organize on social media,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 18: and the problem that law enforcement had is it was
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 18: actually in such a short period of time it was organized.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 18: You had an influx of people creating dangerous conditions. There
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 18: were fireworks, there was looting, violence. I mean, it was
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 18: absolutely chaos. And for what you know, Todd, you and
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 18: I have talked about these senseless incidents before.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 19: For what and why this was not their neighborhood.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 18: For a lot of people that came in for this,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 18: it was one of those social media organized events that
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 18: really took a downward turn once the sun went down
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 18: and things really got out of control.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: Wendy, I don't get it. The police said they were
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 4: what a ten fire set, you had, stores looted, and
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 4: a lot of the people came from, they said, outside
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 4: of the community. And yet we've seen these things happen
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: literally all over the nation. I know in Memphis, Tennessee,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: we had dozens of people fighting and causing all sorts
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 4: of chaos in downtown on the world famous Beale Street.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 4: We saw what happened in South Carolina with the police officer,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 4: and I'm wondering, is it all just coincidental or are
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 4: we looking at something that may in fact be coordinated here.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 19: Yeah, completely coordinated.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 18: You know, that's one of the reasons when you hear
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 18: a phrase like takeover, it's reminiscent of many of the
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 18: other acts of violence that you've mentioned. And not only
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 18: do we have the violence, the looting, we also have
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 18: things like blocking roadways, restricting emergency vehicle access.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 19: I mean, all the.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 18: Types of things that create additional dangerous conditions above and
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 18: beyond the violence that's happening.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 19: And I hate to use.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 18: The word copycats because we usually think that we reserve
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 18: that word for killings and mass shootings at schools. But
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 18: it's been a copycat phenomena around the nation that you
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 18: have these things happening. What I just don't get, Todd,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 18: And I'm hoping that a lot of the adults that
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 18: are positive influences in these young people's lives can step
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 18: in and stop this. You know, we often say it's
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 18: two in the morning, do you know where your children are?
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 18: You know, positive influences do exactly that. Let's make this
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 18: not seem cool and be able to reverse this trend.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 4: Wendy Patrick joining us on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. Wendy,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 4: you know another big thing here that we've been following,
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 4: and this is the Charlie Kirk trial, you know, with
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 4: Tyler Robinson, I know, big hearings, all eyes legally on
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 4: the case today as the prosecutors argue that Tyler Robinson
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 4: should in fact stand trial. This is really going to
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 4: be a fascinating case. Curious to see how your take
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 4: on it from the legal perspective.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 18: From a legal perspective, we already know a lot about
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 18: the incident. We know that it's a death penalty case
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 18: because of the manner in which the murder was committed.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 18: We know that this young man turned himself in at
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 18: the urging of his parents and a family friend. We
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 18: know about text messaging he gave to his roommate also
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 18: apparently his lover. So a lot of the information is
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 18: already in the public realm. Why is that important? Because
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 18: you remember, one of the defense's main arguments thus far
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 18: has been to restrict the public's access to the preliminary
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 18: hearing that starts today. The judge basically denied that and said, yes,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 18: these are explosive facts, but the publics can be able
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 18: to watch it live just as they and unfortunately, as
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 18: we all watched the murder take place live.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 19: That was very traumatic for everyone involved. And it's going
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 19: to be the first time Charlie Kirk's late.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 18: His wife, and his parents are going to actually be
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 18: in the courtroom. So our prayers and hearts go out
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 18: to them as we watch justice being done over the
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 18: next couple of days.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, the Associated Press doing live blogging,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 4: and we understand that Charlie's mom and dad and Erica
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: actually left the courtroom before the Utah Valley University Police
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 4: officer described the actual shooting itself. But to your point,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: this is the first time that they have actually been
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: in the courtroom with Tyler Robinson, president's president. So we'll
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 4: be following those developments, but clearly a trial that is
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 4: going to be gripping the nation. Wendy, we always appreciate
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 4: your great analysis and we thank you for always joining
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 4: us here on the show.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 19: Always a pleasure, Tuntalty next time, Thank you.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 4: The great Wendy Patrick. Everybody on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 4: and we are following that developing story out of out
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 4: of Utah. Wow, what a tragedy that was, So anyway,
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 4: we'll keep you we'll keep you updated on the latest
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 4: there when it comes to the trial of Tyler Robinson,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 4: the man accused of killing Charlie Krk. You know, a
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: lot of people don't think that he the guy. They
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 4: think that he's a pansy kind of like Lee Harvey
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 4: Oswald was. So we'll see how that plays. Nine oh
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 4: one two six zero five nine two six is our
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 4: telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero five
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 4: to nine two six. So Caroline e Levitt the White
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 4: House Press secretary, and I think she has really been
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 4: doing a phenomenal job, a phenomenal job. And she was
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 4: she was on the one of the shows Savings on
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 4: Fox over the weekend, and she's catching a little bit
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 4: of flack for something she said about about millennials, or
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 4: rather gen zers, and she called all you gen zers
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: lazy and said that you guys need to, you know, basically,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 4: just get out there and work and find jobs. And
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: all of this is coming out in response to young
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 4: people who are just having a difficult time trying to
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 4: find jobs and also trying to find money to buy
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: a first house, you know, to get started in life.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: And what's interesting about all of this is the mayor
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 4: of Knoxville Tennessee. A good friend of ours. His name
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: is Glenn Jacobs. You might remember him as Caine, the
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: professional wrestler, and he put out something over the weekend
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 4: pushing back on what Caroline Levitt had to say. And
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: I don't think Caroline meant it the way a lot
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 4: of people are suggesting she meant it. But a word
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 4: of warning to all of you folks out there in
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 4: the conservative world, this is not an issue of kids
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 4: just being lazy. As a matter of fact, for the
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 4: most part, when you look at gen Z, and especially
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: the younger version of GenZ, the younger side of gen Z,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 4: I've never seen kids working harder. And these are kids
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 4: that are embracing conservative values. As a matter of fact,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 4: some would say that gen Z is the most conservative
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 4: generation since the Greatest generation back in the aftermath of
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 4: World War Two. So be careful as you frame these arguments,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 4: because it's almost next to impossible for these young people
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: to go out there and start their lives. Many as
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: are being forced to live at home because they simply
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: cannot afford to buy those houses, which, by the way,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: as a brief aside here that one of the reasons
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 4: why housing is so expensive is because Biden lets so
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 4: many illegal aliens into the country in the first place.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 4: And we'll get to a study on that, and just said, well,
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: hold on, I have it right here in my hands.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: Biden era illegal immigration drove up housing costs. And this
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 4: is coming from economists at the Federal Reserve. They've got
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 4: a working paper on this and they found the record
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 4: surge and illegal immigration triggered not only higher home prices
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 4: but also higher rent. So if you're looking for somebody
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 4: to blame, it's not the kids. They're busting their butts.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: Now here's what Mayor Jacobs, who's a Republican, big supporter
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 4: of Marshall Blackburn. Here's what Mayor Jacobs had to say.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 4: One of my daughters is a nurse practitioner. The other
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 4: is the regional clinical director for a home nursing service.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 4: They both have great jobs, they both work really really hard.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 4: Back in the day, they'd be set financially, but they
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 4: feel the cost of housing, healthcare and other essentials and
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 4: live modestly. I remember hearing Charlie Kirk say that many
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 4: young people have done everything right but feel the system
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 4: is stacked against them. Inflation and affordability are real issues
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 4: that deserve attention. The answer is not to blow it
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 4: off claiming young people are lazy. It's cutting taxes, spending,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 4: and regulation. It's unleashing economic freedom. It's reigniting the American
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 4: dream so that another generation can prosper. Now that's not
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 4: what you're going to hear. If you watch Fox News Channel,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 4: you're gonna see a lot of these anchors blaming the
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 4: young people. But I want you to step back and
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 4: think about this for this one minute. And I only
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 4: know this because I used to work there. Every single
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 4: one of those people that you see on air at
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 4: Fox News are millionaires. All of them are. They don't
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 4: go shopping down at super low. They don't have to
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 4: worry about finding reaching into the cup holder in your
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 4: car trying to scrounge up quarters to pay for gasoline.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 4: They don't have to do that. They live in a
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 4: whole different world. And the problem on cable television, and
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 4: if I can just explain this as best I can,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 4: the problem in cable television is they don't have any
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 4: regular people actually working on cable television. All of those
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 4: folks are members at ma a Lago or the country clubs.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: They don't live in real life America. They don't live
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 4: in small towns and communities, and so they don't understand
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 4: what these young people are struggling with. And I can
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 4: tell you those of us who do live in the
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 4: small towns and communities, we actually see it. We see
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 4: it up close and personal, and it's a difficult thing.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 4: And I am telling you if the Republicans get this wrong,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 4: they will drive away these young conservative kids, not to
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 4: the Democrat Party. They're just not going to go vote.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 4: And why would they when you've got a party that's
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 4: out there castigating these young people. So my word of
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 4: caution to Cable News and all of you folks in
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 4: the Trump administration is be very very careful how you
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 4: embrace these issues, because not everybody has a membership at Marlango.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's just the reality of it. All right,
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 4: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 4: got to take a break. Your calls coming up next.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 4: All right, welcome back, Let's go to the food lines. Winchester, Virginia.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 4: Frank is listening to us on WI n C. Frank,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 4: what's on your mind?
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 12: Yes, I wanted to bring up the issue of the
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 12: attack on watermelons. Older Americans may be familiar with this,
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 12: but not younger generations. The watermelon was associated with some
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 12: negative stereotypes of black people munching on huge watermelons. So
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 12: I'm thinking that a lot of people are not familiar
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 12: with this stereotype. But it could be that hardcore leftists
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 12: who are a little older, a little better read in
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 12: American history, might be the ones who incited this. That's
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 12: basically what I had to say, and that's why they
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 12: went after the watermelon, which is of course completely blameless here.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 4: But blameless and delicious as well, rank and quite refreshing.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 12: Especially on hot days. Oh yes, So I want to
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 12: mention that one more thing. I did like your saying
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 12: that the cable news people Fox News, they're very much
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 12: out of touch. They assume that a dollar store's bargain basement. No,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 12: a dollar store is not. It's actually a little more
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 12: expensive than a Walmart. But people might like it, especially
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 12: older people, because they're closer. You don't have to drive
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 12: us farther closer to your neighborhood, and also you can
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 12: get an ample supply of things without walking around a
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 12: big store, and the prices are still pretty good. But
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 12: it seemed to me when they were talking about dollar stores.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 12: They had no idea what they were talking about.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 4: No, it's really tragic when they try and I get it.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 4: But you know, and look, I'm not bashing I mean
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 4: the they you know, they're paid very well, and I
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 4: was paid very well when I was at Fox. But
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 4: there's a difference between living in New York City and
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 4: earning millions of dollars a year than you know, working
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 4: a nine to five job. You're you're getting them paid
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 4: minimum wage or whatever. You know, in some small town
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 4: or community. There's just a big difference there. And you've
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 4: got to be careful because you find yourself in a
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 4: bubble if you're not. That's one of the reasons I went.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 4: I went home as many times as humanly possible when
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 4: I during my fifteen years at Fox, because I wanted
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 4: to make sure that I didn't get sucked into the
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 4: bubble there.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 12: So well, yeah, just one one more thing. One of
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 12: these well known celebrities. I won't mention the name, but
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 12: he was talking about the stores or maybe a Walmart
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 12: even in prices. He says, Oh, I don't worry, I
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 12: could buy this store that cat out of the back.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah jeez, all right, all right, Frank, thank you for
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 4: the watermelon info there, and it's just it was a
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 4: terrible thing to see the carnage and the bright red
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 4: flesh of the watermelons just splayed open there in Newport Beach, California.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 4: Just unbelievable. Coming up, we've got a crazy story, a
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 4: big gay cruise. Well they tried to go to Turkey
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 4: and things did not work out quite as well as
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 4: they thought they did. We'll tell you about that. Also,
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 4: Andy Gibson from Mississippi. We're talking biscuits on the Top
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 4: Stars radio.
• 1:14:42

• 1:16:21
  Speaker 4: Social Security Report eight hundred ninety six ninety. Text and
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 4: data rates may apply well over the weekend. In South Carolina,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 4: a very disturbing video and you can watch it for
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 4: yourself at Todd Stearns dot com. I would caution you
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 4: it is incredibly graphic. It shows a mob of black
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 4: teenagers rampaging and attacking a white female police officer, and
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 4: it is a disturbing piece of video. We now know
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 4: that police have been responding to a block party gone wild.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 4: At least two female police officers were injured in the Maylee. Well,
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 4: what in the world is going on here in New
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 4: York City you had a police officer that was shot
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 4: in the back. Simply unacceptable the war that's happening right
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 4: now in law enforcement in this nation. I want to
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 4: bring into the conversation a good friend. Her name is
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 4: Betsy Brandner Smith, retired a police sergeant, the National Police
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 4: Association spokesperson. Betsy, what an honor to have you with
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 4: us today.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 20: Thank you Tom so much. And I'm so glad you're
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 20: talking about the police officers that have been injured over
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 20: this weekend. We had another police officer killed last night
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 20: in Ohio.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 4: Betsy, I don't understand. I don't understand where this hate
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 4: and vitriol is coming from. I want to sort of
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 4: peel the layers of the onion here. First of all,
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 4: this notion that kids in America are scared of the police. Betsy,
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 4: They're not scared of the police. They're not scared of
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 4: any body.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 20: No, You're absolutely right. They're not scared of the police.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 20: They're not scared of their parents, they're not scared of
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 20: consequences generally because they don't face it any and and
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 20: You're right this.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 4: You know, even as.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 20: Crime goes down in so many areas, Uh, there is
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 20: still these team takeovers, and there is still todd this
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 20: war on cops that we have been battling quite frankly
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 20: since twenty fourteen.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, over the weekend, there was video of six
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 4: officers that I believe were injured in Boston when they
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 4: were literally targeted with fireworks. The same thing happened in Detroit.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 14: Uh.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 4: And yet you've got the You've got the police chief
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 4: down in South Carolina praising his his officers were for
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 4: practicing restraint. I'm like, restraint. It seems to me that
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 4: you know, when they're when they're trying to blow you
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 4: up with fireworks, you need to be fighting back.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 20: Well, you're absolutely right, But we still are in an
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 20: age where police officers who are doing the right thing,
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 20: protecting their own lives, protecting the lives of their communities,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 20: are being targeted civilly, criminally by people just for doing
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 20: the right thing. Again, we had four police officers shot
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 20: last night in Ohio. We had a Chicago police officer
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 20: I believe run over this weekend, And it continues to
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 20: go on and on, and yet we still have the talk,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 20: especially from the Democratic Socialists, of defunding the police, eliminating
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 20: the police, and at the same time, Todd nine out
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 20: of ten police departments are still short staffed in this
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 20: country because who wants to do this job?
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 19: A brave few want to do this job.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 4: BETSI. I'm curious about what's going to happen in New
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 4: York City where law enforcement feels like they've just been
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 4: left out there, you know, to their own devices. They
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 4: certainly city Hall doesn't have their back. And you talk
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 4: about police shortages, there are major shortages already in New
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 4: York City.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 20: Yeah, they have there thousands short on the NYPD. And
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 20: yet you have, you know, you have these huge events.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 20: You have FIFA, we had the NBA Finals, we had
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 20: the Taylor Swift Kelsey wedding, and they're expected to deal
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 20: with all of that while they worked for a mayor
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 20: who goes to the hospital to apologize to people that
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 20: the police were forced to shoot because that person attacked
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 20: a police officer. They know that City Hall doesn't have
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 20: their back, and yet they continue to go out there
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 20: day after day after day to try to keep the
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 20: citizens of New York City safe. I was just in
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 20: New York City two weeks ago, and it's insane. But
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 20: I see the cops out there, always trying to do
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 20: the job, do.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 19: The right thing.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 4: Betsy, what's the answer here? How do we fix this
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 4: problem with these rampaging mobs of teenagers across the country.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 20: Well, first and foremost, the answer starts at home. You've
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 20: got to have parents that are paying attention to their kids,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 20: that are taking away those smartphones. If you need to
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 20: communicate with a teenager, give them a foot phone they
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 20: can call you. And then we have to have legal consequences.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 20: We've got to as a society say enough is enough.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 20: We've got to let law enforcement officers do their jobs.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 20: But law enforcement needs the backup from the prosecutors and
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 20: the judges to put real time consequences on these quote
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 20: unquote teenagers that are attempting to destroy their community believing
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 20: that there will be no consequences whatsoever.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 4: You know, again, it goes back to when we were
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 4: kids growing up. You know, I was in the in
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 4: the late seventies, early eighties, and I just remember, you know,
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 4: my parents instilling in me respect for police officers. Remember,
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 4: as a little cub scouts, they took us on you know,
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 4: a visit to the police station and they took us
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 4: to the county jail and said, if you misbehaved, this
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 4: is where you're going to end up.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 4: It was like putting the fear of God in a
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 4: nice way, but putting the fear of God into these
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 4: little urchins that we were. And I just don't see.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 4: I don't see that happening these days.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 20: No, you really don't. And you know I share that
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 20: with you. I hope that the police found me before
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 20: my dad did if I did something wrong, because I
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 20: was more afraid of my dad. But but this is
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 20: the thing for now. A couple of decades, young people
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 20: have been told that, you know, the police are bad,
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 20: don't worry about it. I will protect you from the police.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 20: I used to pull kids over in my community and
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 20: instead of handing me their driver's license, they would hand
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 20: me their attorney's card and say, call my attorney. So,
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 20: you know, this has been going on for quite a while.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 20: And back then we had more consequences. Now we have
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 20: almost no consequences, and we have a media, generally speaking,
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 20: that continues to vilify and demonize the police. This starts
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 20: at the top. We have the most pro police president
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 20: we've ever had, but local politicians don't follow suit.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 4: Well, you're not kidding. And on that note, last night
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 4: or was it early Sunday morning in Memphis, of course,
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 4: we've got the Memphis Safe Task Force here, national Guard
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 4: and just a huge law enforcement presence, and it's still
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 4: not enough. But there were there was There was a
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 4: guy who was firing a gun in downtown right out
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 4: right across from the Peabody Hotel, and National Guard came
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 4: to assist. They gave chase, and the guy turns around
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 4: and he points that gun at the National Guard and
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 4: the two of the troops opened fire and killed the guy.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 4: And of course the local media is going crazy and
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 4: all but accusing the National Guard members of doing something wrong.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 4: Here's the thing. If the National Guard tells you to stop,
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 4: you stop, and you don't point a gun at him,
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 4: and chances are pretty good that you're going to come
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 4: out of that entire encounter alive.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 20: Now, and you're absolutely right, I'm going to guess that
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 20: the Memphis community is going to ultimately support what happened there.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 20: It's unfortunate that a life was taken, but honestly, Memphis
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 20: is the example of how this state, local and federal
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 20: partnership is working to stop crime around this nation, and
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 20: I think that the Memphis community is all in favor
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 20: of it, except for a few indeed.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 4: All right, well, Betsy, we always appreciate your great analysis
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 4: and the great work you do, and thanks for coming
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 4: on the radio show today.

• 1:27:09
  Speaker 4: that's sort of.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 16: Like a lot different than what we're about to talking.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 4: I don't know about that. It's a Disney cruise.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 16: That was before they went off the rail slope.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 4: Okay, well that's all right. So anyway, the ten night
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 4: Mediterranean ship known as the Scarlet Lady, they were scheduled
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 4: to make port calls and of all places, Turkey, but
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 4: it turns out that the cruise ship was turned away.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 4: They were blocked by the nation of Turkey. They said
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 4: that the cruise ship would not be allowed to dock
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 4: because passengers did not align with local structure and moral values.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 4: So they told the gay people, you can don't be
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 4: bringing that stuff to our country. You can't do that here.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 4: Oh my, what's ironic is I think they were allowed
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 4: to go to the Virgin Island. So so there's that.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 4: The official x account for the provincial government includes the
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 4: port city of Kusa Dassi, and they posted a news
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 4: release stating that the chartered cruise ship had been canceled.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 4: The postset groups on the ship were known for their
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 4: behavior incompatible with our society's structure and moral values. I mean,
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 4: it's sort of like you can't put the thing and
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 4: the square, the round thing and the okay, well, you
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 4: know what I'm talking about. It doesn't fit morally speaking,
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 4: not literal here, ladies and gentlemen. Broadway star Patty Lapone,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 4: of course, was performing on the cruise and shared her
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 4: outrage on social media. A ship, a magnificent ship full
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 4: of well healed gay men and me denied on if
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 4: they were like stiletto heels or were they pumps? Can
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 4: we find out, Helen police, A ship of magnificent ship
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 4: full of well healed gay men and me denied entry
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 4: to Turkey simply because of who is on board. I
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 4: think the thing is Turkey realistic here who you were boarding,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 4: as long as you don't do it on their soil.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 4: I think that's ultimately what they're trying to say. The
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 4: Turkish people. I mean, they do have the Turkish baths
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 4: and bunch of naked Muslim men. But you know, whatever
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 4: she says, I am ready to perform. For all the
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 4: wonderful men on this cruise who deserve so much better
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 4: than this. Anyway, people are really upset on the Washington
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 4: Post and CNN, they're all very upset about this, and
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 4: they don't understand why a Muslim country would not allow
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 4: a boat filled with a bunch of gay men to
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 4: make a port of call. The State Department declined to
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 4: comment on the case. That's probably a good idea, but
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 4: in a statement that the US Embassy in Ankara said
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 4: they regularly promote US business and commercial business interest. Anyway,
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 4: Apparently they say Turkey will lose at least one million
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 4: dollars in revenue by blocking the gay men from spending
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 4: three days in the country. There you go. They say.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 4: The bigger damage to Turkey is when you start picking
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 4: and choosing who's allowed to enter, and your economy depends
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 4: on tourism, and you're creating a standoff between the tourists
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 4: and yourself, and you run the risk of alienating a
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 4: lot of potential tourists. So that may be the case,
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 4: but again, yeah, good luck vote. I'm telling you the
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 4: Islamist they don't like you LGBT folks. I'm just trying
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 4: to tell you I know that you're marching with them
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 4: in Free Palestine and all that. I get that, but
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 4: they don't like you. We'll be right back, all right,
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 4: Welcome back, everybody. This is the Tom Stearns Radio Show.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 4: And for our stations down the line, I want to apologize.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 4: We're dealing with some tech issues today. Our team is
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 4: working to get those straightened out with Westwood one, and
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 4: so just bear with us. But certainly our apologies to
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 4: all of our radio stations for the little tech issues today.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 4: Nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 4: is our telephone number again, that's nine oh one two
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 4: six zero five, nine two six. By the way, I
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 4: want to play some audio for you. Just a little
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 4: while ago in the Oval Office, President Trump had this
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 4: to say about the FIFA red card cut eleven plays.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 6: But all I did, all I did, I asked for
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 6: a review because I didn't think it was a foul.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 3: And you know, again, I'm good at this stuff.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 6: I didn't think it was a foul. I thought it
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 6: was two great athletes to qush into each other.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 3: And got entangled.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 6: That was not a That was not a guy punching
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 6: somebody in the face or anything that you know, would
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 6: be different, and I think it's I think it's a
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 6: terrible If they wouldn't allow you know, a top player,
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 6: maybe the best, maybe among the best plays on the
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 6: team to play, I think it would have had a
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 6: big stain.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 3: And I related just that field. I didn't tell him
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 3: what to do.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 6: I can't tell him what to do, but uh, And
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 6: I don't believe he made the decision. I think it
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 6: was a committee that made the decision, and they made
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 6: the right decision because number one, it wasn't a foul.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 4: It and you want to see the president, Yeah, let
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 4: stop playing. So look, here's the deal. President Trump did
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 4: nothing wrong here. Again, he's the president of the United States.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 4: He's standing up for our team. Quite frankly, it's a
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 4: little refreshing to see a president of these great United
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 4: States doing what President Trump just did there. So well done,
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 4: mister President. Got to take a break. We'll be right
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 4: back and welcome back to everybody. This is the Todd
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 4: Starnes Radio Show. Great to have you with us today.
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 4: So turns out I created a bit of turmoil over
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 4: the weekend by announcing that Mississippi had the best exhibit,
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 4: the best pavilion at the Great American State Fair Congressoman
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 4: Cat Cammick took me to task on social media. Of course,
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 4: you know she's from Florida and a big Florida grad.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 20: Uh.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 4: Let me just say this. I said, save save all
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 4: of the hate speech for SEC football season, because right now,
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 4: hands down, I think hot buttermilk biscuits, Trump, whatever Florida
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 4: was giving away, and the man behind it all is
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 4: joining us today. He is Mississippi's Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce,
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 4: Andy Gibson, also running for governor. UH commissioner. Good to
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 4: have you with us today, Todd. It's great to be
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 4: with you.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 14: I'm I'm a big fan and George seeing you up
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 14: in Tupolo a couple of years ago. Great to be
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 14: on your show.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 4: Thank you for having me well, And I didn't know
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 4: if you were going to remember that, but you and
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 4: I actually did meet. I was speaking to a bunch
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 4: of Republicans here in Tupolo and had just had a
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 4: wonderful conversation. And when I when I saw you at
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 4: this at the Great American State Fair, I said, we
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 4: got to get we got to get Andy on the show.
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 14: Well, I'm glad to be here, and what better way
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 14: to start that conversation than over fresh, hot, homemade buttermilk biscuits.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 14: That's my philosophy.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 4: I don't know how you did it, Commissioner, but that
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 4: was tell us about that whole experience. Because you know,
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 4: a lot of other states, I think eleven states chose
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 4: not to send anybody they had Some of them had
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 4: absolutely nothing at their exhibits. But you guys went all
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 4: out for Mississippi.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 14: I can't imagine anybody would hate America so much not
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 14: to send anything to the Great American State Fair. We
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 14: showed up a big shout out to our Governor Tay
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 14: Reeves and visit Mississippi. Our Department of Tourism, but our
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 14: Department of Agriculture also we put on every year our
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 14: Mississippi State Fair, so it made sense for us to
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 14: be on site. What most people don't know, even those
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 14: who got a biscuit last week. What most people don't
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 14: know is we give away about one hundred and fifty
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 14: thousand fresh hot biscuits here at our state Fair every
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 14: year in October. So it's second nature to us. It's
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 14: what we do. Biscuits and syrup. We give away homemade
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 14: biscuits thanks to our sponsors at Kroger Prairie Farms and
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 14: then Blackburn's Syrup. And you talk about a winning combination,
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 14: and it was a winning combination on the national mall
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 14: last week.
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 4: Nothing finer than Prairie Farms. I've got their milk and
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 4: my refrigerator. And I'll tell you this, the one thing
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 4: that could have made it better. I'm big. I'm not
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 4: a big syrup guy on biscuits. One thing I do
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 4: love is going to the farmers market on Saturday and Hernando,
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 4: Mississippi right there on the square and Commissioner some of
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 4: the finest Mississippi red tomatoes. Get yourself a tomato, get
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 4: some mayonnaise and it can be dukes, and just slather
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 4: up that biscuit and you'll have yourself a great biscuit
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 4: and tomato sandwich.
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 14: Tod, you're making me hungry. Now, you're talking my language.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 14: That and we do we do it well here in Mississippi.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 14: Whether it's tomatoes or biscuits, or are syrup or honey,
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 14: whatever you want. We love to promote everything genuine Mississippi.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 14: And we had a great time. I had personally, I
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 14: had a fantastic time at the Great American State Fair
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 14: lots of great patriots there, people from all over America,
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 14: all over the world, hundreds of thousands of people, and
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 14: it was hot, but it was worth being hot to
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 14: celebrate America.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 4: I was curious about the crowds because you know, if
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 4: you listen to the media, they said, don't nobody's there,
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 4: folks are staying away. But you're saying that's not the case.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 14: Yeah, they were lying to you. There were lots and
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 14: lots of people there. I was there beginning on Wednesday
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 14: of last week, and the crowd didn't build all the
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 14: way through Saturday. But I know something about crowds because
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 14: we run the largest event in Mississippi, our State Fair,
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 14: and I can tell you there were lots and lots,
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 14: hundreds of thousands of people. The thing is, it's such
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 14: a huge area, and there were so many indoor spaces
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 14: where people were trying to be because it was you know,
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 14: it felt like one hundred and fifteen degrees. So I
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 14: can't blame anybody for not being out in the ball
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 14: face son on the grass. I did enjoy going out
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 14: and seeing the huge crowds that evening. A couple of
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 14: different evenings on the mall, and that's when the people
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 14: came out, and when you could see how many people
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 14: really were in town for the Great American State Fair?
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 4: Were there any other booths there that clearly nobody's going
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 4: to surpa as homemade fresh hot otter about biscuits, anybody
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 4: that had a pretty you know, presentable pavilion in your estimation?
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 14: Oh yeah, all the pavilions that I that I've visited
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 14: were good. You had people who were giving away peanut
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 14: brittle in Tennessee. I saw some of that and other
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 14: Puerto Rico was interesting. They had you do a dance,
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 14: some kind of a I didn't even attempt it, some
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 14: kind of a dance in Puerto Rico, and there was
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 14: a long line of people trying to do that dance.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 14: But everybody had their own, you know, unique state or
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 14: territory flavor, and it's something that makes us great as Americans.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 14: Every state is different, every state has its strengths, and
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 14: together the great United States of America is better and
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 14: stronger than it's ever been.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 4: We had some of our Tennessee listeners suggest that perhaps
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 4: we should have had a moonshine still in the Tennessee exhibit,
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 4: but apparently there are regulations against that who knew, mister Commissioner,
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 4: so you know, well.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 14: It was it was a logistical challenge to do anything
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 14: because it was so many people and hard to get
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 14: in obviously for security gypsus, but it was worth it
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 14: all and it's still going on through the end of
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 14: this week, through the tenth of July.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 4: You know, I want to go back a commissioner to
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 4: the agriculture because again, when I do go down to
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 4: the farmers market, I make the trip down to Mississippi
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 4: on Saturdays, and I meet a lot of farmers, a
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 4: lot of ranchers, and a lot of people may not
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 4: realize the cattle industry is really prominent in the great
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 4: state of Mississippi. I know, of course most people think
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 4: about the Mississippi Delta and the cotton and the soybean,
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 4: but the cattle industry is pretty impressive in Mississippi.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 14: It's actually our sixth largest product, beef cattle is and
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 14: our number one product is chicken poultry. So we do
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 14: a little bit of everything in Mississippi. I got to
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 14: add thank you for coming to the Rnando farmers Market.
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 14: I'm proud to tell everybody we have seventy nine farmers
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 14: markets in Mississippi. That's more than in the history of
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 14: the state. So you're visiting one of the great ones there.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 14: Keep on coming. Our farmers appreciated, but we grow a
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 14: lot of great food products here in Mississippi that are
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 14: enjoyed by people all around the country and literally around
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 14: the world.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 4: When you look at the administration and there has been
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 4: an emphasis on taking care of farmers. What's your take
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 4: on the Trump administration and how they have been working
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 4: with farmers here in America.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 14: I want to come in and I thank President Trump
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 14: for taking the bull by the horns. Literally. He came
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 14: in at a time when we were in a farm
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 14: crisis thanks to the Joe Biden administration. But coming in
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 14: and getting to the root of the problems, and the
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 14: root of the problem is that he is addressing as
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 14: well as Secretary of Brook Rawlins, is we've come to
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 14: depend too much on these foreign products, foreign food, foreign markets.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 14: We need to get back to American grown, American maid
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 14: and support our own farmers and feed ourselves before we
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 14: worry about people on the other side of the world.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 14: And we can do all of that, but we have
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 14: to put a focus on domestic needs and domestic markets
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 14: and growing more food products here locally and stopping the
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 14: total dependence on foreign food.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 4: Andy Gibson joins us he as the Commissioner of Agriculture
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 4: and Commerce in the great State of Mississippi. Wants to
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 4: be the next governor as well. I'm curious what the
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 4: big issue is there in the state of Mississippi. I mean,
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 4: you guys have been making national headlines over the success
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 4: and areas of literacy and education. What would you say
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 4: is going to be the big issue for you?
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 14: Well, I'm proud to be among those who were there
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 14: in the legislature when we did pass those conservative reforms
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 14: that helped take our education to a much higher level
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 14: than it's ever been in history. Frank, we passed a
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 14: third grade reading gate for to make sure that young
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 14: people can read before they advance to the next grade.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 14: But the next big issue, I think is finding the
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 14: right balance between the ongoing economic development that we have,
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 14: the challenges at AIY is going to bring. We need
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 14: to be very aware of those and understand those issues
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 14: at the same time as we rebuild our local food supply.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 14: I just talked about that ninety percent of the seafood
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 14: in America is actually coming in from foreign countries. And
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 14: here in Mississippi we have a huge seafood industry that
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 14: I want to rebuild. I want to bring back on
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 14: our Gulf coast by supporting our local seafood industry, local fishermen, shrimpers.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 14: And when we do that, we're going to bring back
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 14: jobs that have been overseas for decades, you know, foreign workforce,
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 14: foreign processing of our food, not only seafood, but agriculture.

  Speaker 14: My goal is to have a reshoring of those food
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 14: processing jobs that were lost of the country, bring it
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 14: back here so we can feed ourselves. And water. Water
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 14: is going to be critical to our future. The food
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 14: supply of America experts tell us in twenty years will
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 14: depend on the Southeastern United States because of our water supply.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 14: That's where we have to focus that we can feed
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 14: ourselves and our children will be able to do that
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 14: for the next generations.

• 1:44:38
  Speaker 4: Give me a tomato and I'm good to go. I'm
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 4: just telling you no. But one of the things I
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 4: love doing going down to the going down to the Hernando, Mississippi,
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 4: they do the farmers market right there. It's a beautiful
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 4: old school southern town. They've got the courthouse on the
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 4: square and the farmers market is literally around the entire square.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 4: And and I was out there trying to get some
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 4: some produce or something, and the guy, one of the
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 4: farmers is like, you're Todd Starns, And I said, yes, sir, right,
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 4: and he goes, I listened to you on my tractor
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 4: every single day. So and then somebody else, one of
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 4: the other farmers came over and they said the same thing. So,
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 4: so we love, we love our great farmers that are
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 4: listening to us out there in the across the country.
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 4: All Right, we got to take a break nine oh
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 4: one two six zero five, nine two six. Our telephone number,
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 4: that's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 4: This is the Todd Starns Show.
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 4: The Commissioner of Agriculture in Mississippi has got me worked up.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 4: An appetite, my goodness, gracious, all right, Welcome back to
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 4: the Todd Sterns Radio Show. Nine oh one two six
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 4: zero five nine two six hour telephone ever that's nine
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 4: oh one two six zero five to nine two six.
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 4: So I want to get back to some audio, uh,
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 4: if we could. I want to go back to this
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 4: Trump thing. And I don't know why, Parker, this really
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 4: has we sort of worked up. And all these folks
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 4: are upset that President Trump is defending America, and they say,
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 4: if in fact the USA wins the World Cup, there's
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 4: going to be an asterisk by the win. I just
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 4: completely do not accept that premise.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 17: I think there should not be an asterisk, and I
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 17: think what I want people to know is this isn't
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 17: some unprecedented thing. This happened again within the last year
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 17: for Christinaldo Ronaldo, one of the best players of all
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 17: time from Portugal and no one batter than I at all.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 17: If this same ruling didn't happen, he would have been
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 17: ineligible to play in their first two games of the
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 17: World Cup.
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 16: And everyone just overlooked that.
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 17: But when it's a US player and it's a big
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 17: knockout game like this, and President Trump does something to
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 17: help his country, it's a big controversy.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 4: And it was. I mean, I'm not a big soccer guy,
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 4: but I mean, I watch what's this. I watched the
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 4: HBO show.
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 16: Okay, I'm not familiar with those Oh Ted Last.
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 4: Ted Lanser. Yes, I watched Ted Lanswer. Great show, but
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 4: I'm not I don't know all that, but the end's not.
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 4: It just seems to me it was a blatant, blatant
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 4: bad call.
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 16: I completely agree.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 4: Okay, so here's President Trump just a little while ago
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 4: at the Oval.
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 6: But all I did, all I did, I asked for
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 6: a review because I didn't think it was a foul.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 3: And you know, again, I'm good at this stuff. I
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 3: didn't think it was a foul.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 6: I thought it was two great athletes to crash into
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 6: each other and got entangled. That was not a That
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 6: was not a guy punching somebody in the face or
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 6: anything that you know, would be different, and I think
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 6: it's I think it's a terrible if they wouldn't allow,
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 6: you know, a top player, maybe the best, maybe among
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 6: the best players on the team to play, I think
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 6: it would have had a big stain.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 3: And I related just that feel. I didn't tell him
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 3: what to do.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 6: I can't tell him what to do, but uh, and
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 6: I don't believe he made the decision. I think it
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 6: was a committee that made the decision, and they made
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 6: the right decision because number one, it wasn't a foul.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 3: And you want to see a game with your best players.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 3: You don't want to say, how.
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 6: Would you feel if I took you know, we take
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 6: Messi out Lo you know he ran into somebody, or
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 6: we took Ronaldo. Ronaldo, you bumped into somebody. We're going
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 6: to take you out of a game. He's great, Well,
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 6: Harry Kane, Harry Kine, We're going to take you out
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 6: of the game, Harry, because you happen to hit somebody
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 6: a little bit harder than you can't.
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 3: You can't do that.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 6: If you would have taken him out, I think I
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 6: think it would have really stained this incredible champion. We
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 6: got to have our best players, and they've got Belgium's
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 6: got a great team. By the way, we have our
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 6: best players and they have to have their best and
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 6: if we win or we lose, it's fair.
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 3: Otherwise, let's say we lost him and we lose the game.
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 6: It would be a terrible So I think they made
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 6: a really brilliant decision.
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 3: I think the referees.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 6: Call was horrible. And nobody talks about that. They talk
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 6: about the red card like it's fine. Nobody talks about
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 6: the referees decision to red card. I didn't know what
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 6: the hell of red card was. When I found out,
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 6: I said, you got to be kidding. This guy just
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 6: hands up. Okay, your best player is not going to
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 6: play next week, could in the next game.
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 3: I said, wow, that's a lot of power. That's terrible.
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 3: But then I looked at his past and it wasn't
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 3: so great.
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 4: Well there you go, so uh look good for you,
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 4: mister president, and we'll see how things go tonight. By
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 4: the way, Mark Kelly, the senator from Arizona getting the
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 4: what for because he was wearing a Mexican jersey for
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 4: last night's game. By did you hear Parker what the
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 4: Mexicans were doing to the to the to the British.
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 16: To the hotel.
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the hotel unbelievable.
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 17: England tried really hard to not let that happen, the
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 17: Mexican and fans. I've been doing that for every game.
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 17: So I heard that the England team had reservations at
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 17: fifteen different hotels to try to prevent this from happening.
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 4: And they still found them apparently exactly. Wow, that's just
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 4: that's insane, insane.
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 16: But the crowd last night was unbelievable though.
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they got a little rowdy, the Mexicans did after
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 4: the uh, you know, after the match. So so they're
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 4: out and we're playing Belgium tonight. That's gonna be huge.
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 4: Are Are they any good? Is Belgium any good?
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 17: It's kind of the different side of Americans team. Most
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 17: of the American players are in their late twenties, and
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 17: I think Belgium has two really great players, but they're
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 17: both in their late thirties, mid thirties. So it'll be
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 17: a tough test for America, toughest game they've played so
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 17: far in this World Cup.
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 16: But I'm looking forward to it.
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 4: All right, We'll have to see how all that plays
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 4: out tonight. So there you go, go go team USA.
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 4: President Trump is standing by in case, you know, we
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 4: ought to just give him, like President Trump out there
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 4: as a ref.
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 16: That would be entertaining.
• 1:51:03
