Why Do the Feds Really Want to Track Americans? · ToddCast Podcast with Todd Starnes

• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: America's favorite gun-toting, Bible-clinging, deplorable American.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: That's us, that's right.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Our love is American, right.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Todd Starnes.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: You know, I really, I don't get it. I do
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: not get the controversy here, ladies and gentlemen. over the
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: renaming of Lake Ontario. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the show.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Great to have you with us today. By the way,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Open Line Friday, that means you get to call in
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: and talk about whatever is on your mind today. I
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: want you to write down our telephone number. You will
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: need this if you plan on calling in today.
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: 901-260-5926.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: That's 901-260-5926. Our website, by the way, is toddsterns.com, and
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: we have all sorts of really great content, including the
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: very latest on this, wow, on this renaming of Lake Ontario,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: which the left has really lost their ever-loving minds over.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: And they don't get the president's sense of humor. They
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: don't get the president's wit or the fact that he
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: is trolling the Canadians in this trade war. What is it?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: The president called them nasty people is what he called them,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: nasty people. So anyway, we're going to get into that.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Any of you folks have a problem with the renaming
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: of Lake Ontario to Lake America? Because the mainstream media
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: and the Democrats are enraged over all of this. Kathy Hochul,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: by the way, from New York, the governor of New York,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: says she is not going to abide by the president's
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: executive order and that Lake Ontario will remain Lake Ontario,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: which is unfortunate because she doesn't have a sense of humor.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, what are you going to do? You know,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: it's just, it's crazy stuff. You know, I remember when
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Trump renamed the Gulf of America, and aren't you glad
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: he did that? You know, a lot of people don't
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: remember what was the Gulf of Mexico, but it was,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: and President Trump came in. I think this is one
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: of the first things he did, issuing the executive order,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: renaming the Gulf of America. I think just about on
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: every map now in the world, if you are going
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: down to what we Southerners affectionately call the the Redneck Riviera,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: then you're going to be vacationing at the Gulf of America.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: And that's just the way it's been, and that's the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: way I think it's always going to be. But, man,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: they've lost their ever-loving minds over this situation involving the
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: renaming of Lake Ontario, including the Canadians. So just a
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: thought here, and I don't want to dwell a lot
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: on this, but.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: There is a double standard at play here. By the way,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: the president calls the Canadians nasty people and accused them
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: of ripping us off for a long time on trade.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Says it's very sad. And, of course, Hochul and others
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: attacking the president here. CNN going bonkers. I don't seem
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: to recall the mainstream media saying, going bonkers when President
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Obama renamed Mount McKinley back in 2015. Any of you
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: folks remember that? Any of you folks remember when he
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: did that? Mount McKinley named after a fallen president, and
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: he renamed it Denali. Any of you folks remember those days?
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Or what about Joe Biden? What about Joe Biden? You
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: know what Joe Biden did? Joe Biden renamed a bunch
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: of military bases, Fort Bragg, Fort Hood, renamed Clingman's Dome.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Any of you folks remember that? Yeah, that actually happened.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: No media outrage at all, none whatsoever. So, look, there's
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: a word for this, and it's called hypocrisy. And that's
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: exactly what the Democrats are guilty of here. So, look,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: have fun with it, Mr. President. I know it's triggering
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: to the left, but the reality is that if you
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: don't like what the president is doing, you're more than
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: happy to leave the country. I think Rosie O'Donnell did that. No,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I truly do. By the way, do we have this audio, Dylan?
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: There was something that happened in the Oval Office regarding
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the Canadian geese. We've got.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Is this true? With AI and everything, you never know.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I genuinely don't know, but I want to find out.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's play this on because apparently there's another name
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: change in addition to renaming Lake Ontario Lake America. Let's
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: take a listen.
• 5:28
  Speaker 8: And finally, sir, in this executive order, we're also changing
• 5:30
  Speaker 8: the name of the Canada geese as per your request.
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: They will now be known throughout the world as Donald Ducks,
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: which is a more suiting name given that they now
• 5:37
  Speaker 8: live in Lake America and not.
• 5:38
  Speaker 9: Canada with the rest of those losers.
• 5:40
  Speaker 8: Donald Ducks are now an American species and they're already
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: happily migrating.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: To our shores as we speak.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I think it might be AI.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: You think so? No, I don't know. I mean, that
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: sounds real to me. I love that. So they're not
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Canadian geese anymore.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: They're Donald Ducks.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: They're Donald Ducks. I love it. What did he call them?
• 6:00
  Speaker 10: Losers?
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Is that what the guy? You know, I love this guy.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: He's the guy that reads all the executive orders. And
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: he does a very nice job. You know, he's a
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: busy guy. You know, Trump's having to throw out a
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: lot of executive orders because, well, Congress isn't doing anything. So,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: you know, they got to do the executive orders. Can
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I hear that again? Maybe if we hear it again,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: we'll be able to pick up if, in fact, this
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: is AI.
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: And finally, sir, in this executive order, we're also changing
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: the name of the Canada geese as per your request.
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: They will now be known throughout the world as Donald Ducks,
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: which is a more suiting name, given that they now
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: live in Lake America and not Canada with.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: The rest of those losers.
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: Double Ducks are now an American species, and they're already
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: happily migrating to our shores as we speak.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they are a bunch of losers, aren't they? Because
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: they're Canadians. I love that. All right. 901-260-5926. All that
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: to say this is a big nothing burger, ladies and gentlemen.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Presidents rename stuff all the time. All the time. So
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: don't worry about it. Don't lose any sleep over it.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: But what you ought to be losing sleep over is
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: what's happening with these flock cameras. that are popping up
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: all over the United States. And I'm telling you, there
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: are very grave constitutional issues at play here, ladies and gentlemen.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: And I want to go through this because this impacts
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: all of you, all of us, because we are all
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: being surveilled. You folks in Houston, Texas, for example, you're
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: facing surveillance. You folks in Memphis, Tennessee, they've got the
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: flock cameras all over the place. And as a matter
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: of fact, in Houston, people there are actually fighting back.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Cut 44, please.
• 7:40
  Speaker 9: Tonight, Houston police are investigating possible misuse of flock camera
• 7:44
  Speaker 9: data within the department and separately looking into a new
• 7:47
  Speaker 9: batch of cameras that have been vandalized. We have seen
• 7:49
  Speaker 9: at least four such cases this week in the Galleria area,
• 7:52
  Speaker 9: two at the same location on Richmond. Jason Miles has
• 7:56
  Speaker 9: the latest.
• 7:57
  Speaker 11: We heard the call about this Flock camera on the
• 7:59
  Speaker 11: queue this morning, then got a tip about two others
• 8:02
  Speaker 11: on nearby Richmond. These two automated license plate recognition, or
• 8:06
  Speaker 11: ALPR cameras, many of which are operated by the company Flock,
• 8:10
  Speaker 11: aren't recognizing much of anything right now. They're among at
• 8:12
  Speaker 11: least four cameras we've seen this week cut down in
• 8:15
  Speaker 11: the Galleria area alone. Privacy and other concerns have become
• 8:19
  Speaker 11: increasingly prevalent.
• 8:21
  Speaker 12: Big Brother looking after us.
• 8:22
  Speaker 13: We don't need that.
• 8:23
  Speaker 14: We don't want it.
• 8:24
  Speaker 15: We don't want it in Texas.
• 8:25
  Speaker 11: We don't want it anywhere.
• 8:26
  Speaker 12: We don't want it in Houston.
• 8:27
  Speaker 16: We don't want it.
• 8:28
  Speaker 11: HPD says it's investigating multiple cases of cameras being cut
• 8:33
  Speaker 11: down across the city. At the same time, we learned
• 8:35
  Speaker 11: today that it joined the list of law enforcement agencies
• 8:39
  Speaker 11: looking into potential misuse of flock camera data, saying in
• 8:42
  Speaker 11: a statement, quote, the department has identified usage that is
• 8:45
  Speaker 11: being investigated further. Any policy violations discovered will be investigated
• 8:50
  Speaker 11: by HPD's Internal Affairs Division. During the audit process, some
• 8:55
  Speaker 11: accounts have been placed on hold.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: These cameras are not just collecting information about people suspected
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: of crimes.
• 9:00
  Speaker 9: They're collecting and retaining data on everyone.
• 9:03
  Speaker 11: The ACLU of Texas would like to see cities and
• 9:06
  Speaker 11: others take them down until better guardrails or limitations are
• 9:10
  Speaker 11: in place. Possible charges for people who do this type
• 9:13
  Speaker 11: of damage include vandalism and criminal mischief. Meantime, any officers
• 9:17
  Speaker 11: who misuse the system face possible discipline as well.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: All right, so while all that's going on, the guy
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: who runs the Flock Company, a fellow by the name
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: of Garrett Langley, he's a young guy. I think he's
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: like in his maybe mid-30s here. Anyway, this guy Langley,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: who's based out of Atlanta, is defending all of this
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: and says that all you Americans— cannot outright ban flock cameras.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Cut number 39.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: I value my privacy. My family values their privacy. My
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: employees value their privacy. But what we're talking about is
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: safety as well. And so I think when people talk
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: about just one of these, privacy or safety, they're prioritizing
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: the wrong thing. And what we have to prioritize as
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: a country is compromise. How do we have our safety
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: and how do we balance privacy? And so when I
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: think about legislation that calls for an outright ban, that's
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: like banning vehicles. That would never have made sense. Instead,
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: what we did is we introduced laws against drunk driving.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: We introduced laws around seatbelts, laws around.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, so this guy says he has a right to
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: start a company that tracks everything you do. Here's the
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: problem with that. It's not working, and a very shocking
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: number of just innocent law-abiding people are actually getting pulled
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: over as a result of that. By the way, you
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: know who supports this, Dylan, and I'm not surprised here,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: because people have been going to their city council's. And
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: what folks are doing is they're going and they're chopping
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: down the flock cameras. I mean, just taking them out
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: all over the place. But there is one guy who
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: showed up, and this was in San Diego, which... means
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: in the original german a whale's vagina um he showed
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: up at the city council a public safety committee meeting
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: in san diego the guy's name is darth vader i
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: had no idea vader relocated to southern california yeah did
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: you not know that i had no idea yeah was.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: It wasn't in the news that you kind of just
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: kind of slipped in there.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Was that star wars episode 372.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think they stopped making movies after
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: the Death Star exploded and all that madness.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: It's Disney. What are you going to do? Probably list
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: next to Hannah Montana.
• 11:32
  Speaker 16: Probably.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Anyway, here's Darth Vader at the city council meeting.
• 11:37
  Speaker 17: Thank you.
• 11:37
  Speaker 13: It's been a great day, love to all.
• 11:39
  Speaker 18: Thank you, Darth Vader.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, jeez.
• 11:57
  Speaker 18: The Emperor is a fan of flock, and we must
• 12:01
  Speaker 18: continue utilizing flock technologies so that we can follow and
• 12:05
  Speaker 18: surveil the rebel scum as they move from.
• 12:08
  Speaker 13: Playground to playground, from playground to pool, from pool to gymnasium,
• 12:13
  Speaker 13: because we all know that the flock cameras are not
• 12:16
  Speaker 13: only following the license plate readers, they are following children.
• 12:19
  Speaker 13: They are following children in parks and gymnasiums, and we
• 12:23
  Speaker 13: need this.
• 12:24
  Speaker 18: I need this so I can stalk my ex-girlfriend.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow. You know, they never really talked about this
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: much in the Lucasfilm universe. But Darth Vader really got
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: to cut back on the smoking. I mean, that's not good.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: It's a real problem.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, it sounds like he's got, I don't know,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: some sort of lung issue.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: I think the machines keep him alive at this point.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: You think so?
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: So anyway, I'm just.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised he's still kicking, you know, after all these years.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Well, he was winded. I mean, he just got up
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: and walked into the podium and you heard him there.
• 13:04
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Luke, I am your daddy. Oh, that's the Southern version of.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: I missed that film.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: That's Darth Bubba.
• 13:17
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Darth Bubba.
• 13:20
  Speaker 16: I am your daddy.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So anyway, as.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: This is a serious issue, ladies and gentlemen. February 2026, Sherwood, Arkansas.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: A flock camper misread an SUV's plate. Officers detained an
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: innocent couple at gunpoint while their six-year-old baby was in
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: the car. Lafayette, Indiana. An innocent motorist detained at gunpoint
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: following a flock plate misread. Flock reportedly confused a 7
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: with a 2 in Toledo, Ohio. The poor driver, they
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: deployed a police dog on him and jailed the guy.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: He was innocent. Oh, here we go. In Memphis, a
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: nurse was detained after her car landed on a hot
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: list because a Pennsylvania license plate with the same characters
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: had been reported stolen. I mean, this goes on and on,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: and this is crazy stuff here, ladies and gentlemen. Just
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: last month, an automotive journalist by the name of Joel
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Feeder was stopped by multiple cops in Plymouth, Minnesota... after
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Flock repeatedly alerted on the Range Rover this guy was driving.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: So you could just be randomly driving down the road somewhere,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, and Flock is taking pictures of your car.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: They're putting all of that into a database, which the
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: police have access to. And the next thing you know,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: you're sitting in a jail. I mean, this is nuts.
• 14:49
  Speaker 16: Nuts.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Where do you stand on this, ladies and gentlemen? Some
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: people say we got to have it for public safety.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Others say... that this is a gross, gross violation of
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: our constitutional rights. 901-260-5926, our telephone number. Let's try to
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: sneak in a call here. Steve in Houston, Texas, Patriot
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Talk 920. Steve, what do you think about these cameras?
• 15:14
  Speaker 24: Hey, Todd, I'm kind of divided on it because I'm
• 15:17
  Speaker 24: all about privacy and privacy you know, against Big Brother, but,
• 15:22
  Speaker 24: you know, if you watch these episodes of Dateline and
• 15:25
  Speaker 24: stuff where these detectives, they catch people that are abducting
• 15:29
  Speaker 24: children and stuff, people that give alibis, and, you know,
• 15:33
  Speaker 24: they can go to these cameras and find out that
• 15:36
  Speaker 24: they're lying on their alibis. That's how they catch a
• 15:39
  Speaker 24: lot of serial killers, child abductors. You know, I'm kind
• 15:43
  Speaker 24: of divided. There's good and bad with everything. I mean,
• 15:47
  Speaker 24: You know, it can be misused. I want my privacy, but,
• 15:52
  Speaker 24: you know, if I haven't done anything wrong, why would
• 15:54
  Speaker 24: I care if they're taking pictures, you know?
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: So let me ask you this, Steve. So do you
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: think that we ought to have cameras in, say, like,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: the high crime areas or the areas where crime is
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: most likely to take place?
• 16:11
  Speaker 24: Well, I mean, yes, but at the same time, a
• 16:14
  Speaker 24: lot of these people that abduct these children and take
• 16:18
  Speaker 24: them out and murder them, I mean, they're not in
• 16:20
  Speaker 24: these high-crime areas. These are, you know, socialized people, the doctors,
• 16:26
  Speaker 24: the doctors, you know, people that, you know, they wouldn't
• 16:29
  Speaker 24: be able to catch them unless they had these cameras,
• 16:32
  Speaker 24: you know.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: So you would support at least in the high-crime areas?
• 16:38
  Speaker 25: Yes, and I mean.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: So, Steve, let me just throw this out, and we've
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: got to run for a break. Do you realize that
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: a significant portion of the most violent crime actually takes
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: place in the privacy of a home. So my question is,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: if that's the case, why not? What's going to stop
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: the government one day from stepping in and installing these
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: cameras in every private home in America, if, in fact,
• 17:01

  Speaker 2: wherever you might be across America. As promised, I want
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: to go right to our phone lines, 901-260-5926. Let's say
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: hello to Mike in Clear Lake City, Texas, listening to
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: us on Patriot Talk 920. Hey, Mike, what's on your
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: mind today?
• 19:37
  Speaker 26: Oh, good day, good day. Yeah, the flock cameras, they're
• 19:39
  Speaker 26: really going to be a problem in my area. It's
• 19:43
  Speaker 26: created turmoil. But I'd just like to say that the
• 19:46
  Speaker 26: data centers, AI, fog cameras, my way of thinking, it's
• 19:51
  Speaker 26: the system and the Antichrist being set up right before
• 19:54
  Speaker 26: our very eyes.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: You think so? Why do you say that?
• 19:57
  Speaker 26: Well, it's today's technology. I mean, there's so much prophecy,
• 20:02
  Speaker 26: in-time prophecy, that can only be explained with today's technology.
• 20:05
  Speaker 26: I mean, in Zechariah, he writes, the eyes will be
• 20:10
  Speaker 26: dissolved in their sockets and tons consumed in their mouth.
• 20:13
  Speaker 26: That's radiation poisoning after a thermonuclear war. And then in Revelation,
• 20:19
  Speaker 26: John writes about the two witnesses that die, and then
• 20:24
  Speaker 26: the world sees them within an hour. Without satellites and
• 20:28
  Speaker 26: the Internet, that couldn't be possible.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: So do you think we ought to get rid of
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: all technology? I mean, is there any technology the Bible
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: approves of?
• 20:40
  Speaker 26: No, that's what I'm saying. It's the fulfillment of end-time prophecy.
• 20:45
  Speaker 26: You're not going to stop it. I mean, how else
• 20:47
  Speaker 26: could the Antichrist implement the mark of the beast and
• 20:49
  Speaker 26: control the whole world without today's technology?
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: I'll have to check with Obama on that, but I
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know. Well, that is an interesting
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: way to look at it, I suppose. But again, some technology, look,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: technology is not inherently bad. It's just how you're using
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: the technology. I think that that is the problem here.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: You know, a lot of people are like, oh, well,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: this country used to be a whole lot better off
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: before we had social media platforms. No, that's not true.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: what social media platforms have done is just magnify and
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: broadcast who people really are. I mean, we were really
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: like this, right? So everything that you see on social media,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: people were like that before social media came into existence.
• 21:39
  Speaker 26: Well, I mean, the way I explain it to my kids,
• 21:43
  Speaker 26: we went from Elvis Presley to Marilyn Manson. We went
• 21:47
  Speaker 26: from Count Dracula to Freddy Krueger. I mean, everything that
• 21:51
  Speaker 26: man creates satan perverts.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: It's the hip swivel isn't it like it's the elvis
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: hip swivel on the ed sullivan show that's when the
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: country went to hell in a handbasket.
• 22:02
  Speaker 26: No no what i'm saying is is the progression like
• 22:05
  Speaker 26: with television back in the 50s father knows best the
• 22:08
  Speaker 26: donna reed show leave it to beaver what's on television
• 22:11
  Speaker 26: today it started out good but look at what's being
• 22:15
  Speaker 26: broadcast over the airwaves.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Today yeah Look, it's a fair argument you bring. Mike,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: thank you for the call. Let's go to Mike in Memphis, Tennessee,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: listening to us on KWAM. Mike, what's your take on
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: the flock cameras?
• 22:32
  Speaker 17: Greetings, Todd. Thanks. Yeah, right now in Tennessee, you've only
• 22:38
  Speaker 17: got one candidate for governor, Hatley, who's opposing the surveillance
• 22:42
  Speaker 17: grid system. And the total data system, which is all
• 22:45
  Speaker 17: for the social credit system, just like in China, where
• 22:49
  Speaker 17: if you get on social media and you post something
• 22:51
  Speaker 17: the government doesn't like, they just turn your money off.
• 22:53
  Speaker 17: And when they go straight into digital currency, they'll have
• 22:56
  Speaker 17: that ability. And that's what's fixing to come. And you've
• 22:58
  Speaker 17: got the Republican and the Democrat candidate who both support
• 23:02
  Speaker 17: the data centers and the flock cameras. And Hadley is
• 23:06
  Speaker 17: the only one. And so I see the people finally
• 23:08
  Speaker 17: waking up. and voting for the person with the platform
• 23:11
  Speaker 17: as opposed to a party this coming election.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Well, let me just say this about that, because there
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: had been an effort in Congress to stop a lot
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: of the surveillance, you know, the kill switch. There's actually legislation.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: This is, hold on, H.R. 1137, No Kill Switches in
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Cars Act, right? Because there is the technology, to your point,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: let's just say you're driving in California where they now
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: want to charge you for every mile you drive in
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: your car, the government does. the government could come in
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: and say, okay, you haven't paid your tax to drive
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: 30 miles, so we're just turning off your car. And
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: so the Republicans introduced legislation to do away with these
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: kill switches in the cars. Mike, this was back in 2025,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: and the Republicans, it still has not passed the House
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: of Representatives, has not passed the Senate, and has— Yeah,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: so there we are. So the Republicans on Capitol Hill
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: don't even want to step in and protect privacy.
• 24:18
  Speaker 17: Yeah, and that's a problem because I just look at
• 24:20
  Speaker 17: their campaign financials, and I see that Palantir controls the
• 24:25
  Speaker 17: vice president, and he's the guy running this whole data
• 24:28
  Speaker 17: system from the standpoint of the digital currency. And once
• 24:32
  Speaker 17: they go to that, it's total slavery. We have to maintain...
• 24:38
  Speaker 17: an analog currency, cash, gold, silver, something that's tangible, something
• 24:43
  Speaker 17: that we can trade that there's no record of. Otherwise,
• 24:47
  Speaker 17: we're China.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a dangerous path we are heading down, and
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: if they're able to control your cars, they'll be able
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: to control your thermostat, Mike. Look, I'm a 68-degree guy.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Got to be 68 degrees. I can't sleep at night.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: So the government could come in one day and say,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: you know what, everybody's got to be 74 degrees. Your
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: thermostat's got to be set at 74 degrees. If you're
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: on the grid, they can go in and they can
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: set your thermostat. They can control every aspect of your life.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: But the money thing is what really should concern a
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: lot of people. And you're right, this idea of doing
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: away with physical currency– I am a thousand percent opposed
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: to that. Mike, thank you for the call. 901-260-5926, our
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. I want to play this from
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Florida Governor. Ron DeSantis, he is really fired up over
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: these flock cameras and what exactly they're going to be
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: used for. Let's take a listen to Governor DeSantis.
• 25:58
  Speaker 12: So whether it's online with digital surveillance or whether it's
• 26:04
  Speaker 12: with cameras, at what point Are we just going to
• 26:08
  Speaker 12: be free to not have to deal with any of that?
• 26:12
  Speaker 12: And so I think it needs to be overhauled for sure.
• 26:15
  Speaker 12: I know New Hampshire did something that really kept it.
• 26:18
  Speaker 9: It's interesting.
• 26:20
  Speaker 12: They put something in a bill about using them on state,
• 26:25
  Speaker 12: so the sheriffs and the police can use it on
• 26:28
  Speaker 12: state right-of-ways. And I asked Jared, I said, well, what
• 26:32
  Speaker 12: is the state involved? State doesn't get any of the
• 26:34
  Speaker 12: information or anything. It's just like they're doing it. So
• 26:36
  Speaker 12: we don't even really know, you know, like the police
• 26:38
  Speaker 12: department or whatever. And when I see like a police
• 26:41
  Speaker 12: officer using this to track like an ex-girlfriend, I'm like,
• 26:45
  Speaker 12: you know, what the hell's going on, you know, with this?
• 26:47
  Speaker 12: So I think this has happened very quickly. I think
• 26:50
  Speaker 12: people are right to be concerned. I wanted an AI
• 26:53
  Speaker 12: Bill of Rights that could have addressed this and others,
• 26:56
  Speaker 12: other issues. The Senate passed... a product, and the house
• 27:02
  Speaker 12: in Florida, they wouldn't even do anything about it. Now
• 27:05
  Speaker 12: think about it. All the stuff online about how there's,
• 27:10
  Speaker 12: I mean, I just, I don't want to be in
• 27:13
  Speaker 12: a situation where these tech companies, a handful of tech companies,
• 27:17
  Speaker 12: know everything about you and know where you're going. And
• 27:20
  Speaker 12: I know they collect a lot as it is, but
• 27:21
  Speaker 12: I think it's going to get a lot worse unless
• 27:24
  Speaker 12: we have some protections for the people in Florida. And
• 27:28
  Speaker 12: so It's going to need to be, but the only
• 27:30
  Speaker 12: way it could be dealt with is legislatively. This is
• 27:34
  Speaker 12: not something that, you know, it's something that's being implemented
• 27:39
  Speaker 12: primarily at the local level, and you're going to need
• 27:43
  Speaker 12: the legislature to provide protections for people. So what I
• 27:46
  Speaker 12: would say is if it's something you're concerned about, then
• 27:49
  Speaker 12: I think you should talk to the people running for office,
• 27:52
  Speaker 12: particularly for the legislature. And I know New Hampshire has
• 27:57
  Speaker 12: done something. And so I'm in the process of reviewing
• 28:02
  Speaker 12: that because I think that would probably be a good
• 28:04
  Speaker 12: place to start for us here. But this has happened
• 28:08
  Speaker 12: very quickly. I mean, this is in the last few years.
• 28:09
  Speaker 12: I mean, I think when I became governor, they had readers,
• 28:13
  Speaker 12: but it was more to toll people going through the
• 28:15
  Speaker 12: service plazas. And the toll plazas, which, you know, honestly,
• 28:19
  Speaker 12: we had a lot of toll roads when I became governor,
• 28:23
  Speaker 12: and I wish we didn't have that many toll roads
• 28:26
  Speaker 12: because you do a lot. That's why we did the
• 28:27
  Speaker 12: toll relief here in Florida. We did a couple years
• 28:30
  Speaker 12: in a row, 50% reduction. People were getting their bills
• 28:33
  Speaker 12: cut in half. That was a good, good thing, and
• 28:35
  Speaker 12: I'm glad that we were able to do that. But, yeah,
• 28:38
  Speaker 12: I think people are right to be concerned, and I
• 28:41
  Speaker 12: think you've got to have protections for people. go after criminals, great,
• 28:46
  Speaker 12: let's all do that. But surveilling just regular Floridians' movements
• 28:51
  Speaker 12: and how that data is used, you know, that's a
• 28:55
  Speaker 12: bird of a different feather.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look, here's the deal. The concern that you ought
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: to have whenever the government says, and in this case,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: a private company, and my question is, who exactly gave
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: this private company permission to collect all of our data?
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Of course, that's a question We should be asking anybody
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: who is on social media, you have a web presence
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: or a digital presence, you know they're collecting all your data.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Josh Hawley, who is chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Crime and Counterterrorism, sent a letter, and he's got a
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: lot of concerns. He's launching an investigation into these AI-powered cameras.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: He says he wants law enforcement to have the tools
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: to catch the bad guys, but Americans do not surrender
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: their privacy rights when they drive to work, drop their
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: kids off at school, or they go to church. He
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: says the Supreme Court has recognized that a comprehensive retrospective
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: record of of a person's movements is different in kind
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: from ordinary observation in public. Congress never authorized the network
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: your industry has built. Talking about flock, your company's internal
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: policies are in practice the only safeguards for hundreds of
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: millions of Americans. People across the country are now discovering
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: that fact and demanding answers from elected officials. And it's
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: a fair thing that the senator is asking for. But
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: hear me on this, and we've got to take a break.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Hear me on this. Whenever the government comes out and says, well,
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: we've got to do this to keep you people safe,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: you better buck up, ladies and gentlemen, because that means
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: they're coming after your freedom. They're coming after your rights.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: And I say that. Look, remember the China virus. What
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: did they say? We've got to take away your rights.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: We've got to curtail your civil liberties to keep you safe.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: They shut down our churches. They shut down our businesses.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: They shut down the schools. They told you, but they
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: were doing, remember this? They were sending up drones to
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: spy on people who were having family birthday parties in backyards.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: And then they were dispatching the police. In the state
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: of Mississippi, they actually sent the police to raid a
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: small Baptist church because the congregation had gathered in their
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: cars in the parking lot to have a worship service.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: And all of the people there received fines. The cops
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: went car to car and gave all of these people,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: most of them elderly people, they gave them fines. And
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: then Shanklin, the great Paul Shanklin, just sent me a text. Says, Starnes,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: isn't this the same stuff they sold us on the
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Patriot Act with? And it's the exact same thing. Dylan,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: you may not know this. Before 9-11, do you realize
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: that you could just stroll into the airport, and even
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: if you didn't have a ticket, you could walk to
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: the gate and be with your loved one before they
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: got on the plane. You didn't get sexually molested by
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: government agents, right? Your grandma was allowed to walk right
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: through the detectors and everything was fine.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: I do remember that, but I don't remember that.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: It was a beautiful time in American history.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: I never got that.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: But what happened? George W. Bush, the Patriot Act, the
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Republicans said, we've got to take away your rights. We've
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: got to turn every airport into a communist surveillance state
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: to keep you safe. And what did the American people say?
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: They said, President Bush, you do whatever you've got to
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: do to keep us safe. And if that means that
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: a TSA agent with hands like fish, is going to
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: shove those hands down your pants and fondle your private
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: parts to make sure you're not hauling a bomb on
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: an airplane, then by golly, Mr. President, we're willing to
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: do that. And that's what's happened. Do you know that
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: TSA has not stopped a single terrorist attack? And at
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: some point you wonder, this was all theater. It was
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: all theater to push us to the limits. And that's that. Look,
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: this is where that is about to go with the
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: flock cameras. But just remember what life was like before
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: the Patriot Act, which, by the way, the Patriot Act,
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: one of the things it did was just explode surveillance
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: powers across the nation. They're spying on all of us.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Every single thing we do now, including your bank account.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: You let that sink in. All right, got to take
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: a break. 901-260-5926, our number. That's 901-260-5926. This is the
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Todd Stern Show. All right, let's go right to the
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: phones on this Open Line Friday and say hello to
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Joe from Ella Jane, Georgia. Listen to us on WDUN.
• 34:10
  Speaker 10: Hi, Joe.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: What's going on today?
• 34:12
  Speaker 14: Todd, your book is the best book I've read. I
• 34:15
  Speaker 14: recommend it to everybody.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you.
• 34:18
  Speaker 14: It's fantastic. I thank everybody that hasn't read it. I
• 34:21
  Speaker 14: ought to go to the bookstore and buy it. It's
• 34:24
  Speaker 14: The Golden Age. It's just a wonderful, wonderful, inspiring book.
• 34:28
  Speaker 14: particularly for anybody, and I think your book will lead,
• 34:33
  Speaker 14: and I may be wrong, but I believe we're going
• 34:35
  Speaker 14: to win midterm landslides, and I think your great book
• 34:39
  Speaker 14: will help us accomplish that goal.
• 34:41
  Speaker 26: Go ahead.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Look, let me tell you something about the book. President
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Trump was complaining about this the other day. The problem,
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: he said, nobody's talking about all the great things that
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: he's been able to accomplish. Well, yes, actually, we have, Mr. President,
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: and we have chronicled all of that documented all of
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: that in the golden age. So I really do, I
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: think to your point, I want people to read this
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: book because then they will understand why they have to
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: go and vote on election day.
• 35:11
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I think it'll lead, like I say, I think
• 35:13
  Speaker 14: it'll lead to a landslide win for the Republicans, but
• 35:16
  Speaker 14: it's just a great book. I'm on my third reading.
• 35:19
  Speaker 14: I've read it twice, and it's so good. I started
• 35:22
  Speaker 14: on my third reading, so I want to congratulate you
• 35:25
  Speaker 14: You've got a great bestseller. And I like to say,
• 35:28
  Speaker 14: I think you will lead the landslide Republican wins in
• 35:31
  Speaker 14: the midterm. Todd, you're a great American, great talk show guy.
• 35:34
  Speaker 14: Keep it up, my friend.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Joe, thanks for the call. Great to hear from you.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: And thanks for the kind words about the golden age.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Michigan, Austin. Hey, Austin, what's
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: on your mind?
• 35:46
  Speaker 27: Hey, so I wanted to add a little bit to
• 35:48
  Speaker 27: your Dolly Parton conversation. Back when I was growing up,
• 35:51
  Speaker 27: I was maybe about between the ages of two and four.
• 35:53
  Speaker 27: We took a family trip to Dollywood, but the only
• 35:56
  Speaker 27: thing that I can remember is that I was kind
• 35:58
  Speaker 27: of freaked out by the noise of the trains, but
• 36:00
  Speaker 27: I'd love to go back as an adult and actually
• 36:03
  Speaker 27: make some meaningful memories and enjoy all the experiences and
• 36:07
  Speaker 27: activities they have.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Dollywood is, I mean, it's really, you
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: know how like Disney is really for kids, but But
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: I think Dollywood is really for not just kids, but
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: also for adults. There's a lot of adult stuff to
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: do for grown-ups at Dollywood. And great food, by the way.
• 36:26
  Speaker 27: Oh, yeah, that's what I hear. And one more thing
• 36:28
  Speaker 27: real quick. A couple months ago, I came across a
• 36:30
  Speaker 27: song by Dolly Parton I never heard of called Me
• 36:33
  Speaker 27: and Little Andy, and it's a story about a little
• 36:36
  Speaker 27: girl and her puppy dog who are out in the
• 36:38
  Speaker 27: cold because her mom and dad are out of the picture,
• 36:41
  Speaker 27: and she's looking for a place to stay, and she
• 36:43
  Speaker 27: comes up to the lady's door, and she's like, Oh, hey,
• 36:46
  Speaker 27: my name is Sandy, and this is my dog, little Andy.
• 36:50
  Speaker 27: Do you have a bed for us? And they go
• 36:53
  Speaker 27: to sleep and pass away and go to heaven together,
• 36:55
  Speaker 27: and they're never alone. And that really hit a connection
• 36:58
  Speaker 27: for me with the childhood dog that I had growing
• 37:01
  Speaker 27: up with the bond and deep connection that I had
• 37:04
  Speaker 27: with her.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Well, Dolly Parton, yeah, just, I mean, look, she's had
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: an incredible life, and you can't say anything about that,
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: just an incredible life. Dolly Parton Hand. Austin, thank you
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: for the call. Thanks for listening to us in Traverse City, Michigan.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Appreciate that. All right, open line Friday. Hang tight if
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: you're on the line. We're going to get to your calls.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: 901-260-5926 is our number. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: Stern Show.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Common Sense Conservative Commentary from Todd Starnes.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: All right, well, hello everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starnes
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: Radio Program. Great to have you guys. With us today,
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: hour two of the big show underway. I want you
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: to write down our telephone number. You will need this
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: if you plan on calling in today, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Real quick, I do want to get to some of
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: the calls. We had some folks left over from the
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: last hour weighing in on this story involving the flock
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: cameras issue. that are causing a lot of controversy around
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: the nation. People just want their privacy. Let's go to
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Little Rock, Arkansas. Steve is listening to us there. Steve,
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
• 38:53
  Speaker 19: I'm going to give you my two cents on the
• 38:55
  Speaker 19: technology and the flock cameras and everything. Technology is here.
• 39:00
  Speaker 19: We can't put that genie back in the bottle. But
• 39:02
  Speaker 19: here's my suggestion to the government. If you want to
• 39:06
  Speaker 19: use technology to clean... everybody's house and make sure everybody's
• 39:11
  Speaker 19: doing what they're supposed to do, why don't you start
• 39:14
  Speaker 19: with your own house first? Let's say you use this
• 39:18
  Speaker 19: technology to clean up the way you handle our tax money,
• 39:22
  Speaker 19: the way you handle our elections, the way you handle
• 39:26
  Speaker 19: what you're supposed to be doing. I remember President Trump
• 39:30
  Speaker 19: started a program called Doge when he came in this
• 39:33
  Speaker 19: second term. Y'all went ape when he started wanting to
• 39:37
  Speaker 19: look up under your skirt and see how you handled
• 39:41
  Speaker 19: money and how you did things. You're doing the same
• 39:44
  Speaker 19: thing right now with the votes. You won't even let
• 39:48
  Speaker 19: anybody look at your voter rolls. Clean up your house,
• 39:52
  Speaker 19: and then I might invite you into my house to
• 39:54
  Speaker 19: see what I'm doing.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I think that is a valid argument. And
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: if you are going to have the flock cameras, I'd
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: like to put them inside every single office on Capitol Hill,
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: every single one of them, Steve.
• 40:09
  Speaker 19: Amen.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: All right. Steve, thank you so much for the call. 901-260-5926,
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. A reminder, ladies and gentlemen,
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: to get your copy of my brand new book, The
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Golden Age, How Trump Saved America. President Trump, very generous
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: with his endorsement on True Social. We really appreciate the
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: president doing that. Also, Speaker Mike Johnson has endorsed the
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Golden Age. I want to read what he wrote. As
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: President Trump leads our nation into its Golden Age, Starnes,
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: that's me, has delivered a powerful and timely book that
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: challenges us to be that shining city on a hill.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Read and share this book with friends and family who
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: believe in America and want to help keep our extraordinary republic.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Speaker Mike Johnson. And again, You can get
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: a copy of The Golden Age at your favorite bookstore.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: Every Barnes & Noble in America has a copy of
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: the book. So you want to go down to Barnes &
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Noble or you can order it online. Well, we've been
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: following a lot of important races around the nation, including
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: the race in Illinois for the U.S. Senate. Don Tracy,
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: the Republican nominee, but a guest on the program before.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: And Don, it's good to have you back on the program.
• 41:32
  Speaker 23: Great to be with you again, Todd.
• 41:33
  Speaker 19: Thank you.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm curious, Don, what you are hearing out there.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: There's just there's a lot of I don't know if
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: it's unease or maybe anxiety right now within the Republican
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: circles about how things are going nationwide as we move
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: toward the midterms. I'm just curious. I mean, you're out
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: there boots on the ground. What are you hearing from folks?
• 41:55
  Speaker 23: Well, my focus is on defeating the Democrat socialists that
• 41:59
  Speaker 23: I'm running against. I mean, the socialists are taking over
• 42:03
  Speaker 23: the Democrat Party. And once they do that, they're coming
• 42:05
  Speaker 23: after the country. I think everybody knows that. You know,
• 42:08
  Speaker 23: a socialist won for U.S. Senate in Michigan in the
• 42:11
  Speaker 23: Democrat primary. A socialist won in Florida in the Democrat
• 42:16
  Speaker 23: primary for U.S. Senate. And I'm running against a Democrat
• 42:20
  Speaker 23: socialist right now who is a Bernie Sanders acolyte.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: Well, no doubt about that. And she is. I mean,
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: she really is, ladies and gentlemen. That would be Julianna Stratton.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: And what I think is telling here, and for me,
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: it's all about the debates. If you're running for office,
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: you got to debate. That's it for me. And yet
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: your opponent is refusing to do that.
• 42:44
  Speaker 23: She has refused at least seven debate opportunities and candidate forums.
• 42:51
  Speaker 23: And she finally, just a day before, after we've been
• 42:54
  Speaker 23: putting some pressure on her, she's agreed to a candidate
• 42:56
  Speaker 23: forum in Chicago, which is her home turf and is
• 43:01
  Speaker 23: sort of a, you know, a center of the socialistic politics.
• 43:07
  Speaker 23: people here in Illinois. But not until October 20. And Todd,
• 43:13
  Speaker 23: you know, it's kind of, you know, we start early
• 43:15
  Speaker 23: voting here September 24. So it's just like a couple
• 43:18
  Speaker 23: weeks before the election. I think she's trying to run
• 43:21
  Speaker 23: out the clock. I don't think she's really afraid to
• 43:24
  Speaker 23: debate me. She's not a bad debater. She debated in
• 43:27
  Speaker 23: the primary. But I think she's afraid a debate will
• 43:30
  Speaker 23: expose just how leftist and how socialistic her views are.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: You know, I think it's interesting. She has been backing
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: these Democrats that have been targeting the ICE detention facility centers.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: My understanding is that J.B. Pritzker spent millions of dollars
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: through a super PAC to try and buy this Senate
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: seat for Stratton. I don't think the good people of
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: Illinois are going to put up with that kind of nonsense.
• 43:58
  Speaker 23: Well, worse than that, I mean, he is basically my opponent.
• 44:02
  Speaker 23: She was anointed by Mike Madigan, who is now in prison,
• 44:06
  Speaker 23: the longest speaker of the House, 40-some years. And then
• 44:12
  Speaker 23: she was anointed by Pritzker to be lieutenant governor. And so, yes,
• 44:16
  Speaker 23: he spent about $ 10 million in the primary to help
• 44:18
  Speaker 23: her win that. But the worst is, Todd, their administration
• 44:23
  Speaker 23: spent over $ 2 billion, around $ 2 billion on free health
• 44:28
  Speaker 23: care for illegal immigrants and, you know, in supporting and
• 44:34
  Speaker 23: promoting Chicago as a sanctuary city. And now they're complaining
• 44:38
  Speaker 23: about a housing shortage. You know, they bring in millions
• 44:41
  Speaker 23: of illegal immigrants in this country. And then all of
• 44:44
  Speaker 23: a sudden there's a housing shortage, you know, bringing in
• 44:46
  Speaker 23: unhoused people. But she is I mean, she she wants
• 44:51
  Speaker 23: I think she wants to pack the court. You know,
• 44:55
  Speaker 23: have the president elected by the Congress, just like they
• 44:59
  Speaker 23: do it in England. And also she's for government run
• 45:03
  Speaker 23: health care. I mean, you know, our health care system
• 45:06
  Speaker 23: is not not perfect and it's too expensive. And we
• 45:08
  Speaker 23: need to work on that. And that'll be one of
• 45:10
  Speaker 23: my focus focuses when I'm in Washington, D.C., But it's
• 45:14
  Speaker 23: a pretty good health care system, really.
• 45:16
  Speaker 7: They want to throw it out.
• 45:17
  Speaker 23: They want to ditch it for government-run health care with
• 45:21
  Speaker 23: no private insurance at a cost of $ 30 trillion. That's
• 45:25
  Speaker 23: 30 with a T. You know, we already have a
• 45:27
  Speaker 23: $ 40 trillion deficit, and they want to add 30-some trillion
• 45:31
  Speaker 23: to it for government health care. Or, you know, gigantic
• 45:36
  Speaker 23: new taxes. And, you know, if you like the way
• 45:38
  Speaker 23: the government handled the pandemic and silencing medical dissent, masking
• 45:42
  Speaker 23: small children and keeping the public schools in Chicago closed
• 45:47
  Speaker 23: a year longer or more than they should have been,
• 45:49
  Speaker 23: you're going to like, you know, Medicare. They call it
• 45:51
  Speaker 23: Medicare for all, which sounds great. But, you know, Todd,
• 45:54
  Speaker 23: it'll morph into Medicaid for all, just like the Affordable
• 45:58
  Speaker 23: Care Act turned into Unaffordable Care Act.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: Don Tracy joining us. He is the Republican nominee for
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: the U.S. Senate there in Illinois. You know, the Save
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: America Act has been a source of great contention among Republicans,
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: and voters are, well, quite frankly, Republican and Democrat voters
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: think that we need to have election security. I'm curious
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: what your vote would be if you are elected. Would
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: you vote to pass the Save America Act?
• 46:30
  Speaker 23: Of course, of course I would. You know, just like,
• 46:33
  Speaker 23: you know, most of my compatriots, you know, we want
• 46:37
  Speaker 23: voting to be easy but hard to cheat. The Democrats
• 46:42
  Speaker 23: wanted to be voting to be easy and easy to cheat.
• 46:45
  Speaker 23: And Illinois is sort of a poster child for that.
• 46:49
  Speaker 23: There is no justification for opposing photo voter ID. You
• 46:53
  Speaker 23: have to use it for almost everything in life unless
• 46:56
  Speaker 23: you're a hermit. It's ridiculous that the political leaders oppose it. Also,
• 47:02
  Speaker 23: what's wrong with proving citizenship when you first register? Not
• 47:05
  Speaker 23: every time you vote, but just when you register or
• 47:07
  Speaker 23: when you change your registration. I mean, these are 80-20 issues.
• 47:12
  Speaker 23: There's no moral justification for opposing them.
• 47:16
  Speaker 22: All right.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Don, let's talk about website. Where can people go if
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: they want to get more information about what you're up
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: to in your campaign?
• 47:24
  Speaker 23: Don Tracy for IL. And we've got a shot at this, Todd.
• 47:31
  Speaker 23: You know, I'm the underdog. There's no doubt about it.
• 47:33
  Speaker 23: We haven't won a U.S. Senate seat since 2010. But
• 47:36
  Speaker 23: that was the last time there was an open U.S.
• 47:38
  Speaker 23: Senate seat. And that's what we have now. And my
• 47:42
  Speaker 23: opponent is not that well-known as Lieutenant Governor. You know,
• 47:45
  Speaker 23: I do surveys at all my campaign stops. And I
• 47:49
  Speaker 23: ask people to raise their hands if they've ever heard
• 47:51
  Speaker 23: of her. But maybe 10% of their hands raised. So
• 47:54
  Speaker 23: we got a shot at this. We got a great team.
• 47:56
  Speaker 23: We won the We won the primary in every county
• 47:58
  Speaker 23: in Illinois except for four tiny counties in southeast Illinois.
• 48:02
  Speaker 23: So I'm not a regional candidate. My opponent is a
• 48:05
  Speaker 23: Chicago Democrat. That is her base. I doubt that she'll
• 48:08
  Speaker 23: represent the rest of the state.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: All right, Don, there you have it. Good luck to you.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: We'll get you back on between now and the midterms.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: But again, Don Tracy has a very good shot of
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: picking up the Senate seat. Dick Durbin retiring, so this
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: is an open seat. and this could be a pickup
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: for Republicans there in the great state of Illinois. All right,
• 48:31

  Speaker 10: Hey, Todd, yeah, you remember when James Tallarico, might be
• 50:12
  Speaker 10: the next senator in Texas, mentioned that God would have
• 50:16
  Speaker 10: been non-binary?
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, James Tallarico, yes.
• 50:20
  Speaker 10: You're so funny, Todd. Okay, well, I agree with James.
• 50:27
  Speaker 10: Why would a god have a sex? Why would a god... Okay,
• 50:30
  Speaker 10: we don't think of a god as, like, a white man.
• 50:32
  Speaker 10: Nobody would. It's absurd, the idea that a god would
• 50:35
  Speaker 10: have a race. Well, it's absurd that a god would
• 50:37
  Speaker 10: have a sex. A god of a universe, hundreds of
• 50:40
  Speaker 10: billions of stars, hundreds of billions of galaxies, and as
• 50:44
  Speaker 10: a guy? I mean, that doesn't make any sense why...
• 50:49
  Speaker 10: we would have, why a God would be a God?
• 50:52
  Speaker 10: It would be obviously non-binary. We didn't have a sex.
• 50:55
  Speaker 10: It would be something like human beings have.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: Well, let me, I'll try to answer that for you
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: as best I can. And let me just say that
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: the information I'm about to share actually came from one
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: of our sponsors, from Dr. Michael Youssef, who has this
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: great AI-generated Bible study guide called My Faith Assistant. And folks,
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: you can go to myfaithassistant.com and type in any question,
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: and you're going to get a biblically-based answer to that question.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: The short answer here, Jerry, is that God is not non-binary,
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: and the Bible, if you read the Bible, you will
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: see that God is always referred to using masculine pronouns.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: He is given the title Father. So again, that doesn't
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: mean that God has gender as humans understand it, But
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: God is spirit, not gendered. And I think that's... If
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: you go to the New Testament, you can read up
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: on that. But again, the idea... And Tallarico is trying
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: to make this notion that God is somehow transgender. And
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: that's just simply not true. The Bible does not teach that.
• 52:08
  Speaker 10: Okay, well, one, I don't believe in the Bible as truly.
• 52:12
  Speaker 10: If there's a God, it's probably not biblical based. It's
• 52:14
  Speaker 10: the reason why the Bible.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: Why would you say that? I mean, why are we
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: even having this conversation if you don't believe God is real?
• 52:21
  Speaker 10: But if there is a God, he probably doesn't have
• 52:24
  Speaker 10: a sex. A deistic God would not have a sex.
• 52:27
  Speaker 10: If there's a God, it's not the biblical God. The
• 52:28
  Speaker 10: reason that God is... Wait, let me just make this point.
• 52:31
  Speaker 10: The reason why a God is considered male is because men...
• 52:34
  Speaker 10: you know, dominate society, and they wrote the Bible, and
• 52:37
  Speaker 10: they wrote the Koran, and the god of the Koran
• 52:40
  Speaker 10: is a guy. And the god of pretty much all
• 52:42
  Speaker 10: monotheistic religions is a guy, because guys wrote the supposed
• 52:46
  Speaker 10: holy text. That's why. That's the only reason why.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: You think God's a chick? You think God's a woman?
• 52:52
  Speaker 10: No, I don't think a god would have a sex.
• 52:54
  Speaker 7: It's absurd.
• 52:55
  Speaker 10: Sex evolved for reproduction.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: No, no, no. Look, this whole idea of being non-binary
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: is a modern concept. This is something that is new,
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: like the make-believe pronouns, Z and Zer and Zim and
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: all of that kind of stuff. God is the creator.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: He established male and female in his image. That is
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: straight from the book of Genesis. So God stands out
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: and above all of this chaos and confusion that's in
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: the world right now, which is man-made confusion about gender
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: and identity.
• 53:32
  Speaker 10: The Bible's man-made.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: No, it is not man-made.
• 53:36
  Speaker 10: It's almost certainly man-made. It's just the writings of people
• 53:40
  Speaker 10: who didn't understand.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: It's God-breathed. It is the inerrant word of God in
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: the Holy Scripture.
• 53:46
  Speaker 10: No, no, no.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: Jerry, do you have a Bible? Do you have a Bible, Jerry?
• 53:52
  Speaker 10: I could look up biblical passages on my computer, but
• 53:56
  Speaker 10: I don't believe... I mean, look, it couldn't even get
• 53:59
  Speaker 10: the number of legs right. It had sunlight coming before
• 54:03
  Speaker 10: the sun. It had light coming before the sun or stars.
• 54:06
  Speaker 10: I mean, so it's not really.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: Jerry, I'm happy to send you a Bible and King
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: James Version.
• 54:17
  Speaker 10: Right, I've studied religion. I've studied the Bible. It's one
• 54:19
  Speaker 10: of the reasons why I'm an atheist.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: You may have been studying the wrong Bible, my friend.
• 54:26
  Speaker 10: All of them are wrong to me, but you know.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: All right, Jerry, thank you for the call. No, God
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: is not non-binary, ladies and gentlemen. And that whole idea
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: is a modern-day creation. It's all make-believe, this non-binary nonsense.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: Male and female, God created them. 901-260-5926, our number. Oh,
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: Jelly Roll back in the news again. I'm sorry, what
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: did we call him? Tub-O-Lard. Tub-O-Lard, the guy looks like
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: a king-size mattress. Up there, and he is still defending himself.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: for attacking President Trump. All this, I think it was
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: like every day this week. Cut number 46, please.
• 55:13
  Speaker 28: Just because I watch the fight on TV doesn't mean
• 55:16
  Speaker 28: I support everything this administration does. Just like hosting Jimmy
• 55:19
  Speaker 28: Kimmel's show doesn't mean I have all of Jimmy Kimmel's politics. Sure,
• 55:23
  Speaker 28: I'm leaning left on some things, but like most folks,
• 55:25
  Speaker 28: I'm pretty down the middle.
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: I am a Christian.
• 55:28
  Speaker 28: I am a country music singer.
• 55:29
  Speaker 5: I'm a farmer.
• 55:30
  Speaker 16: I'm a bow hunter.
• 55:31
  Speaker 28: And most of the things I eat, I prefer to
• 55:33
  Speaker 28: get with a stick and a string.
• 55:34
  Speaker 16: That's the truth.
• 55:40
  Speaker 28: In fact, the second I leave here, I'm going elk hunting.
• 55:43
  Speaker 28: And I'm going to send the vegan producer Erin her
• 55:45
  Speaker 28: own elk steak.
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: But I also spent this past.
• 55:55
  Speaker 28: Week working in a building with the kindest, most talented
• 55:58
  Speaker 28: group of chihuahua-hugging, oat milk, latte-loving lefties on God's green.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: Earth, and it was a f * * * ing blast, y'all.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: All right, there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Far leftist,
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: jelly roll, the spokesmodel for Antifa.
• 56:28
  Speaker 13: All right.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: Great to have you with us today. Our telephone number, 901-260-5926.
• 56:36
  Speaker 22: Again, that's 901-260-5926.
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: I want to go right away to the Patriot Mobile
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: Newsmaker line and say hello to our good friend, Joe Messina,
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: host of the nationally syndicated Joe Messina Show. Joe, I
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: want you to hear the news here. President Trump, well,
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: this announcement coming from the White House regarding yet another
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: name change, and this is tied into Lake America, cut
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: number 45.
• 57:06
  Speaker 8: And finally, sir, in this executive order, we're also changing
• 57:08
  Speaker 8: the name of the Canada geese as per your request.
• 57:11
  Speaker 8: They will now be known throughout the world as Donald ducks,
• 57:13
  Speaker 8: which is a more suiting name given that they now
• 57:15
  Speaker 8: live in Lake America and not Canada with.
• 57:17
  Speaker 9: The rest of those losers.
• 57:18
  Speaker 8: Donald ducks are now an American species and they're already
• 57:20
  Speaker 8: happily migrating to our shores as we speak.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 57:29
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: Joe, I don't know. Could be AI. I don't know.
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: Could be. Maybe not.
• 57:36
  Speaker 7: Well, first of all, I saw that meme or whatever
• 57:39
  Speaker 7: it was, a little short movie of all the ducks
• 57:41
  Speaker 7: with the orange hair.
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah. Floating around in the lake.
• 57:45
  Speaker 7: I thought that was pretty funny, frankly. And no, Lake America,
• 57:49
  Speaker 7: what's wrong with that? I mean, seriously, why shouldn't we
• 57:52
  Speaker 7: call it Lake Ontario? Let's call it Lake America and
• 57:55
  Speaker 7: run with it.
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: I love this. Look, I think this is a great thing,
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: and I think the Canadian geese, eh. But I love
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: Donald Ducks, the Donald Ducks. It's brilliant. It's brilliant. First
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: of all, I hope you're doing well. Things going good
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: out there in California?
• 58:14
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, sure. I haven't had to turn the gas
• 58:17
  Speaker 7: on in a week. It's been well over 100 degrees.
• 58:19
  Speaker 7: I just cook eggs.
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: On the top.
• 58:23
  Speaker 13: Wow.
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: It's hot out there. Hot out there in California.
• 58:26
  Speaker 7: It was 115 where I was at for a little while.
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: Is that right? 115 degrees.
• 58:35
  Speaker 7: Welcome to California. Oh, yeah, we worry about electricity here,
• 58:38
  Speaker 7: you know, so we keep the air conditioning down.
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: So a couple of things here, a couple of big
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: stories we've been following. Abdul El-Sayed, he's the guy from
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: Michigan wanting to be the next senator from the great
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: state of Michigan, now wants to ban the sale of
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: vodka in liquor stores because of his Islamic faith. Let's
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: listen to Cut 35.
• 59:02
  Speaker 6: The gentleman in the front, clearly Arab, I bought my
• 59:05
  Speaker 6: Gatorade zero, I go to pay for it.
• 59:07
  Speaker 11: He's like, hey, you Muslim?
• 59:07
  Speaker 6: I'm like, you know I'm Muslim. well your beard's a
• 59:11
  Speaker 6: little bit short i was like oh okay well i
• 59:13
  Speaker 6: forgot something.
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: I go back to the back i pick up a
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: fifth of vodka and i bring it to the.
• 59:19
  Speaker 6: Front and he's like you can't buy that i was
• 59:21
  Speaker 6: like habibi you can't sell it For too long, a
• 59:27
  Speaker 6: lot of folks have come into these communities and thought
• 59:29
  Speaker 6: of these communities as places where they can sell products
• 59:33
  Speaker 6: that either should not be sold at the level that
• 59:36
  Speaker 6: it's sold, or products that they would never consume themselves.
• 59:39
  Speaker 6: Take money out of the community and feel like there's
• 59:41
  Speaker 6: no responsibility to invest back in the community.
• 59:44
  Speaker 23: And you need to understand why you can even be here.
• 59:46
  Speaker 6: Because of the advocacy of black communities in the first
• 59:49
  Speaker 6: place to pass the immigration rights act.
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: So I'm not surprised by this because years ago when
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: I was working in Sacramento, there was a big controversy.
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: The Islamists were going around physically blocking these convenience stores
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: that were selling pork products and liquor. And they're saying
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: those things violated their religious beliefs, and therefore they would
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: not allow these stores to do business. What do you
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: make of this, Joe?
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 7: Where are the freedom from religion? I mean, freedom from
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 7: religion foundation when you need them, right? Seriously. Isn't it
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 7: interesting that the only time they come out is that
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 7: when a Christian wants to put up a cross or
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 7: speak about Jesus, what have you, and all of a
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 7: sudden there's lawsuits flying all over the place. Now you've
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 7: got this group based on religious beliefs that want to
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 7: ban certain foods from being sold in stores. You know,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 7: the old saying, just don't buy it. It's really that simple. And, and, Todd,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 7: you know this already, but people, if you don't wake up,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 7: if you don't start pushing back on these things, your
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 7: daughters are going to come out of these schools with
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 7: the jobs on. It's not going to stop with just
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 7: trying to ban pork at a store.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, no doubt about that. No doubt about that. By
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: the way, in Virginia today, this just happened. Virginia and
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: their Democrat leadership have now removed the final three Confederate
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: statues from Capitol Square. Cruz today took down statues of
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: General Stonewall Jackson, Governor William Smith, and Dr. Hunter Holmes McGuire.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: And the Department of General Services confirmed that the figures,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: the statues, will be removed and taken to some foundation.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: They've been on the Capitol grounds for over 100 years, Joe.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: So again, watching these people, these culture jihadists, destroying American history.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 7: This is This is, again, you know this, this is
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 7: communism in its finest, right? Let's remove all the historical
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 7: images of any kind, anything in the books. Let's make
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 7: sure that we totally rewrite history to the point where
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 7: we don't know how we got where we're at. I mean,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 7: think about this, Todd. If you really look at a history,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 7: we've had dark portions in our history. I acknowledge that,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 7: and many of my friends do too. But we work
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 7: hard at moving forward. We work hard at... righting those
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 7: wrongs and making a better life for Americans. These young
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 7: kids have no clue. They think Hitler was just a
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 7: bad guy. They don't really understand what that man did,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 7: which is why they so easily call Trump Hitler and others.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 7: They call us Nazis because they don't know history. I
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 7: think this is a very dangerous move.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: It's very disturbing. And I wrote about this in a
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: book called Culture Jihad. And I pointed out that when
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: the Islamists would invade a country over centuries of this,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: so we have centuries of evidence, the Muslims would invade
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: a country. They would immediately target the cultural centers of
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: the countries. They would destroy the museums. They would destroy
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: the paintings. They would turn the statues into rubble. And
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: they would literally erase the history of the nations they
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: were invading. And that's what's happening here in America. And
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: nobody wants to do anything about it. It's just beyond
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: me that they're allowing, you know, the good citizens of
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: Virginia are allowing these jihadists to tear down these statues.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 7: I would love to really have an honest conversation, I
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 7: don't know if we can, with some of these people
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 7: and say, why are you so quick to condemn a Christian?
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 7: for wanting to pray outside of a Planned Parenthood or
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 7: any kind of event. All of a sudden, you don't
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 7: want to see them praying or hearing them. And yet
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 7: there's no outrage when the Muslims shut down a street
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 7: in New York and other cities across the country for
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 7: prayer time, where they put out their prayer rugs on
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 7: the sidewalks or actually in the street. What are they
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 7: afraid of? I'd like to ask the American populace, people
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 7: who are listening to your show, to either call in
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 7: or send you an email. What do you think they're
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 7: afraid of? You know, we don't have a verse in
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 7: our book that says, hey, anybody who doesn't agree with you,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 7: behead them or kill them or do whatever. We don't
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 7: have that. So is that what they're afraid of? And
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 7: we're the bad guys. You got me on a roll today.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Well, no, it's, look, it is what it is.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: I want to move on to this Lindsay Clancy story,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: which is incredibly disturbing. Now we're getting reports of a
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: possible copycat attack where a woman killed her three children
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: by slitting their throats. And it's an incredibly disturbing story.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: Her name is Kaylee Earhart. She's accused of slitting the
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: throats of her three children, five months old, three years old,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: and a one-year-old. The five-month-old and three-year-old are dead. The
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: one-year-old survived. And you do wonder, where are we now?
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: I know the jury has been deliberating for a while,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: waiting to find out exactly what the verdict is going
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: to be.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 11: Evil.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 7: I'm back at evil. We have allowed evil to run rampant.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 7: And I don't know. I'm not going to place blame
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 7: on anybody in particular. But, I mean, think about the
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 7: things we've allowed over the last few decades. And they've
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 7: been getting worse and worse and worse. And over the
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 7: last decade, we've looked the other way. Three kids that
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 7: are killed. Look at the fellow that killed the I
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 7: can't think of his name, but he killed the the
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 7: insurance head of the insurance.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: Mangione.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: Luigi Mangione.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 7: I don't want to give the Italians a bad name.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 7: But anyway, Mangione, he did that. And the bottom. And look,
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 7: he's got women writing him love letters are outside the court.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 13: Let him go.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 7: They're outside the jail. The women that kill their kids,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 7: they want to let them go too. We're embracing evil.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 7: And anybody who tries to stand up for justice is poo-pooed,
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 7: is thrown in handcuffs. Man, we've really– I think the
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 7: earth stopped in the middle of the night and started
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 7: spinning in the opposite direction.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: That's what I think. So I want to play some
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: audio here. This is a nurse. who is just bewildered
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: that Lindsay Clancy could possibly serve prison time. By the way,
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: the jury, a 12-person jury, nine women, three men, and
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: there's still no verdict, which concerns me because for me,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: this is a pretty simple case. She admitted to killing
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: her children. Guilty as charged. And again, they don't have
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: the death penalty in Massachusetts, but if they did, they
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: should have taken her right out on the front lawn
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: of the courthouse and sent her off to the lake
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: of fire. But anyway, here is the ER nurse expressing bewilderment,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: cut 36.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 29: I was just sitting here thinking about the Lindsay Clancy
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 29: of it all. And you want to know the craziest
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 29: part is that she could actually go to jail. Like
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 29: people could actually believe that it's possible that she did it.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: She did do it. You idiot.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 29: Please God, let there be a nurse on that jury.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: Sweet Lord. I'm Joe. This, this thing has really got
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: under my skin.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 7: Mind you, Todd, I've been, I've been talking about this
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 7: for weeks about how we've changed the mindset, how these
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 7: young people or younger people have a whole different mindset
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 7: on how this thing goes down. And as far as her,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 7: Have you seen all the things online about they believe
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 7: now the husband did it and they're trying to spin
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 7: it off of her that she could have possibly done it?
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 7: First of all, she admitted to do it. Secondly, she's
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 7: had psychiatrists and other professionals around here that have talked
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 7: to her about this. She did do it. And why
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 7: they're trying to defend her, it goes right back to
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 7: what I said to you in the beginning.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: It's evil.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 7: It's nothing but the evil that we've allowed to creep in.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 7: And these things are becoming more acceptable. We're making excuses
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 7: for bad behavior. They do it with kids in school.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 7: They do it with these young kids that are committing
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 7: murder out in the middle of the street. They blame
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 7: it on their, you know, their socioeconomic environment. Or in
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 7: this case, this woman, it's not her fault, Todd.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: Well, it's, this is, I tell you, there is great
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: evil in this country, Joe. And again, you're going to see,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to predict this now, as horrible as
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: this is, I think we're going to see copycat attacks here.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: I think that's what's going to happen. Because you've got
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: a generation of women that are slap-crazy nuts, and I
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: mean clinically nuts. And don't be surprised if this becomes
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: a regular thing.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 7: You know, you should look up the reports over the
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 7: last couple of years where young liberal women are found
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 7: to have higher, much higher percentages of mental illness, you know, depression,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 7: suicidal tendencies, homicidal tendencies than young conservative women. And there's
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 7: got to be something to be said for that. There's
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 7: got to be somebody to take these things seriously and
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 7: start working with these people. But I agree with you.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 7: It's going to get worse. Todd, maybe we should go
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 7: back to the early days where they were actually building
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 7: the gallows outside the courthouse so they were ready for
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 7: the verdict.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: Look, I got no problem with that. I really don't.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: And I think that we have got to– this is
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: one of the things. We have got to shock the system.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, the crime, the lawlessness, everybody thinks they can
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: get away with this kind of stuff. I know. I'm
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: with you. I say let's drag out whatever we do,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: firing squad, whatever, but it needs to be very public,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: and people need to know there will be consequences for
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: their actions.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 7: You know, they talk about a lot of these groups
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 7: are fighting capital punishment.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 7: And because it's cruel and unusual. And I'm thinking to myself,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 7: what about those people who spent 20 years on death row?
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 7: That's not cruel and unusual. You're dying next year. Oh, no,
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 7: you got to reprieve. We're going to come up for
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 7: trial again in three years. I mean, it's ridiculous. And
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 7: that's cruel and unusual punishment. Our founding fathers had no
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 7: problem with it. You know, I love when they talk
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 7: about these people that might suffer in the electric chair,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 7: might suffer with the shots. And I say, well, wait
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 7: a minute. You mean the three people that he brutally
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 7: killed while the other two watched each one being killed?
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 7: That wasn't cruel and unusual? That doesn't require some kind
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 7: of retribution? We truly have lost our moral compass.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: We have. All right. Joe Messina, host of the Joe
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: Messina Show, JoeMessina.com. Great website. Go check that out. Joe,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: always good having you on the show. Todd, God bless.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: Stay healthy.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 7: Have a great weekend.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: All right. There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. The
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: great Joe Messina. You know, in Memphis, Tennessee, we got
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: rid of statues. Did you know that, Dylan? We had
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: a lot of Confederate statues around Memphis. And these racists
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: on the city council, they dug up the dead body
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: of a Confederate war general, Nathan Bedford Forrest.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: What an interesting time that was in Memphis.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: They destroyed the statue, took it down. They dug up
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: the dead general and his wife because they said people
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: felt uncomfortable picnicking at the park. You don't know. People
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: were uncomfortable, but it was because of all the homeless
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: people and gunfire.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 19: Right.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: That's the reason why. And then they had a statue
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: in downtown overlooking the river, the Mississippi River, and there
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: was a statue of Jefferson Davis.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: Who was the president of the Confederacy, and they replaced
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: Jefferson Davis' statue, which is a beautiful statue, with a
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: giant eight-foot-tall Afro pic that was adorned with a black
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: power fist.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 16: Yep.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 5: I remember.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 16: Only in Memphis.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: Only in Memphis. Only in Memphis. All right. Got to
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: take a break.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 19: 901-260-5926.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, President Trump
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: in Houston, ladies and gentlemen, and the president announcing a
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: brand-new military academy, calling it the Space Academy. It sounds
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: sort of like Starfleet. The president announcing a new national
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: military academy. It will be called the U.S. Space Academy.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: He just signed the executive order, and this is going
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: to be really sharp. It will be led by NASA.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: and will be dedicated to the combined rigorous technical education
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: with leadership development, discipline, and commitment to a public service.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: So there you go. Exciting news. So the question is,
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: who's going to be in the first class? They say
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: this is going to be on par with military academies
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: like West Point. So again, the golden age of space dominance.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: is back, ladies and gentlemen. So, thank you, Mr. President.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: The President said we need to educate and train an
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: entire generation of skilled service members, engineers, civil operators, and
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: everything else to do what we have to do. We're
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: the best and will continue by leaps and bounds. Yeah,
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: all right. I like this idea. To boldly go where,
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know, no man has gone before. Oh, wait
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: a second. That's Gene Roddenberry. But anyway, what do you
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: think about that, ladies and gentlemen? 901-260-5926, our telephone number.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: That's 901-260-5926. So there you have it. That's exciting news.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: All right, coming up in the next hour of the program,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: our good buddy Caleb Park joins us. for a wild conversation.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: We're talking about a lot of different issues, including Dolly Parton,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: Jelly Roll, the latest on Jelly Roll, and a few
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: other big topics as well. I think he wants to
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: weigh in on Lake America. So Caleb Park, our good buddy,
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: you can follow him, CalebPark.com. That's CalebPark.com. And don't forget,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, now is a great time for you
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: to order a copy of The Golden Age magazine. How
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: Trump Saved America. You can get yourself a copy right
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: now on Amazon. 901-260-5926, our telephone number on this open
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: line Friday. That's 901-260-5926. Hang tight, everybody. Got to take
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: a break. We'll be right back.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 3: Well, hello everybody.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Very happy to
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: have you with us today. By the way, some exciting news.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: We can tell you that President Trump has heard the
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: concerns that a lot of cattle ranchers have across America.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: The president announcing that he's going to be allowing in
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: cheap foreign beef to lower the prices that a lot
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: of cattle producers say, hey, well, hold up a second, Mr. President.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: That is not going to work at all. There's a
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: bigger problem the president on Glenn Beck's show yesterday, and
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: it looks like the president backing off of that just
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: a bit. Here is some of the reaction, cut 38.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 30: Well, I'm on my way to a county meeting this
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 30: morning and just wanted to touch base. You know, again,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 30: here we are Friday. We've got some encouraging news possibly
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 30: coming out of the White House. It's been about a
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 30: week since the last announcement, and many of us criticized
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 30: that policy and And maybe they've listened a little bit
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 30: because now this new idea here, I don't know what
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 30: the language is going to be like, but if we
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 30: can get rid of some of these regulations to help
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 30: small processors, to help ranchers process meat themselves and sell
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 30: it legally, then that's going to be a huge step
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 30: to get farm to table. My colleagues from Awake, Illinois
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 30: have been talking about this. We had a podcast last night.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 30: talked about this very thing, how we need to get
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 30: rid of some of these regulations. So I hope that
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 30: this is a situation where we've been critical and they've
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 30: listened to us, and now we can get some quality
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 30: results from that conversation. And that's why we have these conversations,
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 30: whether it's through media or social media or whatever.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: And the problem here is, and I know we have
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: a lot of cattle ranchers that listen to this show,
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: and I'm sure they have more knowledge on this, but
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: I want to give you the over, just sort of
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: a nugget here, is that four major companies control about 85%
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: of all the beef processing and cattle slaughter in the country.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: And we're talking about Cargill, we're talking about Tyson Foods, JBSSA,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: which is, by the way, based in Brazil. and the
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: National Beef Packing Company as well. So those are the
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: big four, and they dictate cattle prices and ultimately how
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: much you pay for a pound of ground beef at
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: the supermarket, which is a lot of money right now.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: It is a lot of money. So anyway, it seems
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: to be good news. I will say this, that the
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: cattle ranchers are by and large Republican voters, and they
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: are enraged over this, furious. And that's one of the
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: reasons why the White House is backing off of this.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: So their original decision, they were going to be easing
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: up on tariffs on 300,000 metric tons of foreign beef imports.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: And a lot of Republicans in Congress are like, Mr. President,
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: what are you doing here? The president promised the 90-day
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: change would ease high prices for things like hamburgers, But
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: many domestic livestock producers say it was just a slap
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: in the face. The president of the Montana Cattlemen's Association
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: said it was absolutely idiotic. So, again, I'm glad that
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: the president is taking another look at this. Now, this
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: is how bad it is, though. Even Brooke Collins, who
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: is the secretary of agriculture at She was not included
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: in the conversations about implementing the decision. She's still defending
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: President Trump because that's her job. But my question is,
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: why would you not include the Secretary of Agriculture in
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: a decision like that? That makes absolutely no sense right now. So, folks,
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: it's a mess. It is an absolute mess right now.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: And they've got to get that figured out. We cannot
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: keep on making these mistakes at the White House level.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: Can't do it. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: A little bit of breaking news to share with you
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: from El Paso, Texas.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: Breaking news now on the Todd Starnes Show.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: Well, apparently three students stabbed at America's high school in
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: El Paso. This information coming from the El Paso County
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: Sheriff's Department. The incident occurred as kids were arriving for
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: class this morning. The alleged attacker was taken into custody
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: by police. So the students are reportedly in stable condition,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: school on lockdown. Everybody else seems to be safe. So anyway,
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: that's great news coming there out of the Americas High
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: School in El Paso, Texas. Three students stabbed, suspect in custody. No,
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: they have not named the suspect, but anyway, I'm sure
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: Fox News will be all over it. 901-260-5926, our telephone number.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: That's 901-260-5926. So there is another weird story out of Canada,
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: and this one is weird. So Canada's military has now
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: banned chaplains from saying the name of God out loud.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: This is from Relevant Magazine. A Canadian Armed Forces instruction
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: issued recently tells service members not to say God out
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: loud at military ceremonies. The document defines a, quote, spiritual
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: reflection as an address that does not use religious-specific language
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: or including references to God. The new rule covers graduation parades,
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: mess dinners, change of command ceremonies, ship commissionings, honors and
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: awards ceremonies, and commemorations, including Remembrance Day. When a prayer
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: has been requested, a chaplain has to deliver a spiritual
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: reflection instead. All right, what exactly is a spiritual reflection?
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: This is unbelievable. So you're not even allowed to say
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: grace over your meal in the name of God. Notice
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: that they only put out the edict referring to God
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: and not Allah or Muhammad. Private counseling, faith-specific gatherings, weekly worship,
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: and religious rites are untouched. Funerals are exempt. Could you
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: imagine going to a funeral? To quote the words of Blank, unbelievable.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: The stated reasoning is under the charter, freedom of religion
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: includes the freedom to have no religious belief whatsoever. And
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: the Canadian military cannot favor certain beliefs to the exclusion
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: of others. So basically, they're accommodating the atheist by excluding
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: all of the Christians. Now, here's where it gets interesting.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: Indigenous practices, so you've got all the little Indian people
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: and the Eskimos, indigenous practices are handled differently. They may
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: be included in military settings for cultural, historical, and educational purposes. Again,
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: this is coming from Relevant Magazine. Bishop Scott McKegg, who
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: oversees Catholic chaplains across the Canadian military, objected He argued
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: that for many people, meaning, purpose, and spiritual well-being cannot
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: be separated from blank. That would be God. He said
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: requiring that separation conflicts with the Charter's protection of freedom
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: of conscience and religion. Humanist Canada welcomed the change. The
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: instruction's own framing is that it is not a restriction.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: Rather than limiting chaplains of policy privileges, privileges them to
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: fulfill their broader mission, which is to make Canada a
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: bunch of lily-livered, godless heathens. Sorry, blankless heathens. Unbelievable. There
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: you go. You know what, Mr. President? I say name
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: all the lakes. Let's just rename all the lakes. Stick
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: it to those godless heathen Canadians.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 5: 901-260-5926.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, welcome back, everybody.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: It's the Todd Stearns Radio Show, open line Friday, 901-260-5926.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Statesville, North Carolina, great radio station WSIC. Patty,
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: what is on your mind today?
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 25: Oh, boy, here we go. Look where she's at, Todd.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 25: I'm talking about that Clancy. She's in Massachusetts. These are
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 25: the same people that are murdering babies up to 24 months.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it. You can kill your child.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: It's now legal in Massachusetts to kill your child up
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: to birth in Massachusetts. So yes, you are correct.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 25: And I'm going to tell you something else.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 25: I don't think they're going to come back. If they
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 25: come back with a guilty, I would be shocked. I
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 25: don't think... I don't know.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 24: They I don't know.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 25: They're asking for all these things, how, like, prescriptions and
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 25: all blah, blah, blah, blah. Let me tell you something.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 25: You know, a lot of women have postpartum. My daughter
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 25: had it. But she had very, very good support from
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 25: all of us. And she was on a lot of medication, too, Todd.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 26: Todd was new.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 25: That was her boyfriend at the time. But we took
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 25: her off of everything. And she was loaded up, too.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 25: But we stepped in. I intervened with my daughter. She had,
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 25: you know, we, me, my mom, my mother-in-law, we stepped in.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 19: Okay?
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 25: And that's what she, I don't know where the family was.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 25: You tell me they didn't know that she was capable
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 25: of this?
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: It's a great point, Patty. It's a great point. What
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: else is on your mind?
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 25: Oh, Jelly Roll. He rolled over to the woke.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: Boy, he sure did. Wow. I mean, the guy just,
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: he did a Bud Light, a super-sized Bud Light. I've
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: never seen anything like this.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 17: Unbelievable.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 25: I mean, you know what? I don't care if he's
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 25: 50 pounds. He's still almost.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 25: Tattoos on his face and you know what what gets
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 25: me he's a big trump supporter.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: He loved no no no i don't think he was
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 2: patty i think it was all a grift i think
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: he think it was okay i think all of these
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: people they think that the mega crowd is gullible and
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: patty i hate to say this but i think MAGA
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: world is a little gullible. I mean, they buy into
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: all of this stuff. I am always leery of all
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 2: of these people, especially the artists, because they want the audience.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: They want to suck you guys into their world when,
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: in fact, they're just a bunch of– I don't know.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: Those people are a bunch of jerks to me.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 25: Well, you know, eventually, you know, he's making fun of
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 25: him with his weight and everything. I mean, my God,
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 25: the guy lost all that weight. I mean, oh, I
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 25: give him credit for that. But he's still, he's still
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 25: an idiot. I mean, he's still, the brain up in
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 25: his head, he thinks, you know, he thinks he's like
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 25: the greatest thing since music. I never listened to it.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 25: And when I look at him, he's disgusting to look at.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 25: He's an ex-convict. He's an ex-convict who was pardoned by
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 25: a Republican governor.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Governor Bill Lee. I mean, this guy was a
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: bad dude. Governor Bill Lee, the Republican governor, and he's
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: a squish of a Republican. And he pardoned. He gave...
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: By the way, would you do that? Here's my question
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 2: to the governor.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 19: Why?
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: Did you do it just because the guy was a celebrity?
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: If that's the case, you ought to resign your office, sir.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 17: Oh, yeah.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 25: I don't like him either.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 19: I don't like.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 25: You know, but I just hope, you know, I don't care.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 25: I'm looking at these polls going and stuff. I don't
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 25: believe in polls, Todd.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 15: I don't believe.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 17: Okay.

  Speaker 16: Okay.

  Speaker 25: to go impeachment, impeachment, impeachment.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 23: Am I right?
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: Yep, that's it. Patty, got to leave it there, my friend,
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: but it is great hearing your voice. Our friend, the
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: sweet Patty from Statesville, North Carolina. Dylan, have you heard
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: about Texas Roadhouse, what they've been doing to the black diners?
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 3: Uh, I've missed, I've not heard of it. What are
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 3: they doing?
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 22: All right.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 2: We got to play. This is the allegation. Uh, cut
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: number seven, please.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 15: I have a message for y'all today. Um, and it's
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 15: from a Facebook group called white and proud. Um, and
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 15: this is a message that white servers have for black people.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 15: So I'm going to read it for y'all just so
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 15: I can spread awareness. But anyways, it says to all
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 15: you blacks in here, keep this in mind. Hope you
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 15: enjoy your next meal. Next time you eat out. There
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 15: is a Facebook group that I am a part of,
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 15: which is this one that I'm reading from, and it
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 15: is for white servers. We have come up with a plan.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 15: When a table of black diners come in and place
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 15: their orders, we walk back to the kitchen to get
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 15: your food when ready. There is always a blind spot
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 15: in the kitchen and we are licking our fingers and
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 15: touching your food. If it happens to be a Texas
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 15: Roadhouse or Logan's, those rolls are full of.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 7: Our white saliva.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 15: Some of the cooks are in on this too. Think
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 15: they are playing?
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 17: They aren't.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: Believe me.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 15: This has been going on since y'all started this nonsense
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 15: with Carmelo, the candy bar Anthony Crap. By the way,
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 15: the group has over 400k members. Enjoy y'all's food. Every
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 15: single day, y'all continue to prove us right. Every single day,
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 15: y'all are looking for new ways to be racist and
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 15: just do the most. Don't y'all think that? If y'all
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 15: hate black people as much as y'all claim y'all do,
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 15: why can't y'all just leave us.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 10: The f * * * alone?
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 15: Like, why do y'all have to go the extra mile
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 15: and do stuff like this? Why do y'all need to
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 15: do all that?
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 3: Why can't y'all just leave us alone?
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 21: Huh?
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 15: Why can't y'all just leave us alone? Like all of this,
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 15: it's unnecessary because black people not going nowhere.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 27: We still going to be here at the end of
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 27: the day.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 15: So what's the point of y'all doing this? And then
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 15: when they find out who the y'all is and then
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 15: y'all get in trouble, y'all going to blame black people
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 15: then too, right? Like in what universe does this make,
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 15: does it make sense to do any of this?
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 22: Huh?
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 15: And then y'all get mad when we continue to talk
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 15: about race. Everything is about race. We're going to continue
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 15: to talk about it. If y'all keep doing dumb ass.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: Like this, like.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: All right. So there you have it. So the allegation
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 2: is that white servers at Texas Roadhouse restaurants are spitting
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: in the food of black customers and smearing white people's
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 2: saliva on the rolls. And let me just say, Dylan,
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: if that is true, it's actually really delicious. I mean,
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: those are great rolls.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 3: My gosh. That's absurd. They are very good rolls.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: They are good rolls. I just thought it was glistening
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: because of the butter.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 16: I didn't know.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they do something without butter. I don't know what
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 3: it is.
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 2: It's the spit. It's white people's spit. It's Caucasian spit.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: It's not it.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 11: No.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 2: It's not it because it's not true. This is insane.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 2: Poor Texas Roadhouse. It turned out to be some sort
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: of a parody Facebook page. And, yeah, you've got all
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: these black radicals out there. And they act like, and
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: hear me on this, these black folks that are out
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 2: there on TikTok, they act like whenever they show up
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: at a restaurant, like they're showing up at like, I
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: don't know, they're showing up for dinner on the Titanic, right?
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 19: Right.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: So, oh, pardon me, would you please pass the butter? No,
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: we know. We've seen the TikTok videos. We know what happens.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: We know what happens. So none of this is true.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: The Texas Roadhouse folks, they had to hire a third-party
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: forensic investigator to go in. And let me just say
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 2: something here. They know who started all of this. They
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: were able to track down the information. Texas Roadhouse is
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: coming after you, folks. So all you black folks, rest assured,
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 2: your food is okay at the Texas Roadhouse. Nobody's spitting
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: on your rolls. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. All right, go get them,
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 2: Texas Roadhouse. Got to take a break. We'll be right back.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 13: All right.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody. It is the Todd Starnes Radio Show.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 2: Great to have you with us today. Our telephone number
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 2: on this open line Friday, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Well, let's
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: bring into the conversation our good friend, Caleb Park, journalist
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: and host of The Good Report with Caleb Park, Caleb
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: joins us every Friday here on the show, CalebPark.com. That's
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: Park with an E, CalebPark.com. All right, Caleb, I don't
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 2: know if you've been following this story about Texas Roadhouse,
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: but there was a fake post made on social media
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: that went viral accusing white servers at Texas Roadhouse of
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 2: spitting in the food of black customers. So Texas Roadhouse
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 2: took this incredibly seriously.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 22: They.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 2: hired an outside forensic digital investigator. And my understanding is
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 2: they've actually been able to track down where all of
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: this came from and who started this fake rumor out there.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 2: What do you make of Texas Roadhouse?
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 20: You know, Todd, I think this probably started when they
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 20: stopped letting people sell the nuts and throw them on
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 20: the floor. You know, that's my best make of this.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 2: I can't really.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 20: Think of a better explanation.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 2: So you think that this may be like retribution for
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: not having the bags of peanuts and throwing the shells
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: on the floor anymore.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 20: That's honestly my best hypothesis. I always get Outback and
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 20: Texas Roadhouse mixed up. But I do love both of
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 20: them very much. And it's a great restaurant.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 22: I don't.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: Wait, Dylan, hold on a second here. Dylan, are we getting,
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 2: are we getting, I get all of them mixed up.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 2: Which one has the nuts on the floor?
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 3: Uh, I thought that that was Texas Roadhouse.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's something else.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 19: It is.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 3: Confirmed.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't eat at steakhouses where you,
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: I don't eat at steakhouses where you throw things on
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 2: the floor. So I'll just leave that there.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 20: They also do the line dancing and, uh, So if
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 20: you have to go to the bathroom, you can't go
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 20: when the music flares up and then the servers come
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 20: running out. So there's a lot of issues going on
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 20: at Texas Roadhouse.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 2: Well, I will say, yeah, but spitting in the food
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 2: is not one of them, as Texas Roadhouse said in
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: their official statement. So unbelievable. Caleb, another big story. I
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 2: know you've been following this. Jelly Roll has gone woke.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 2: and has embraced, you know, he's embraced Jimmy Kimmel and
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 2: his audience. What do you make of what's going on
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 2: there with Jelly Roll?
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 20: You know, Jelly, he lost the weight, he lost the jelly,
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 20: but he's been on a roll with just changing who
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 20: he is constantly. You know, he was just last night
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 20: talking about how he has communist Antifa friends on a
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 20: late night show, and he's like, oh, I'm just like
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 20: you guys, I'm middle America, and then He's like, you know,
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 20: I'm going to send the meat back after I go
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 20: hunting to the vegan person here. You know, he's trying
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 20: to be everything right now. And this was, he went on,
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 20: you know, he called President Trump a fat pig and
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 20: he went on profanity, laced tirade against the president that
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 20: we can't repeat here on the radio. And this was
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 20: just months after going on Christian award shows, accepting awards
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 20: and collaborating with some of the top Christian artists and
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 20: contemporary Christian music. It's, It's shocking. I think he did
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 20: Bud Light himself here. I think he'll be surprised how
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 20: much of his audience is conservative, Christian, and MAGA pro-Trump.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 3: But who knows?
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 20: Maybe he'll come to Jesus one more time again. I
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 20: don't really know what to make of it, except that
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 20: he's just been kind of playing us this whole time.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I think I think the bigger problem here is
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 2: the Christian community. I think Christians are either, and hear
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 2: me on this, they're either stupid or they're gullible because
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: we have been down this road so many times. Every
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 2: time a celebrity claims to have this religious conversion experience,
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: we automatically turn them into the next Billy Graham as
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: opposed to saying, oh, well, first of all, this is
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 2: great news. But now let's get you into a church
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: and a discipleship program. And I don't know, maybe after
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 2: you've learned some theology, you know, you can, you know,
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 2: get up and teach or speak or whatever. But it's like,
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: you know, they did this with Kanye. What do we
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: call him now? Yay, yee, wackadoo. Yeah, yay, yeah, yay, woo.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 2: So anyway, I just, I don't know. It just seems
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: to me that Christians in America are just gullible.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Todd, I'll be honest.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 20: I've fallen for it. I think we have to take
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 20: a serious look. If Paul was writing us a letter,
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 20: he would definitely be harping on this celebrity pastor culture
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 20: where we get more excited about the emotions and the sermons.
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 20: And if somebody has this amazing conversion, like the OnlyFans
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 20: models or these these artists like Justin Bieber and all these,
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 20: you know, jelly roll, it's like, oh, this is flashy.
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 2: It gets headlines.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 20: It looks great. And pastors all of a sudden are
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 20: preaching about that on Sunday. But we have to be
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 20: very careful about, you know, focusing on God's word and
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 20: not getting, you know, caught up in, it's kind of
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 20: like the same, you know, in the Bible when it says,
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 20: if you're not, if you're with us, who can be
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 20: against us or, And it's instead of trying to get
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 20: God to bless us, you know, aligning with God. I
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 20: think I got a little tongue tied there. Obviously, you
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 20: can tell I could use some help on this one.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 15: No, no, no.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: Look, it's look, it is what it is. But again,
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: Jelly Roll exposed his true nature. And my only thing
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 2: is why why in the world did Tennessee Governor Bill Lee,
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 2: you know, pardon this guy who was a hardened criminal?
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: This guy was a bad dude. And I'm I'm glad
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 2: he said he had a religious conversion there. I hope
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 2: he did. I hope it was authentic. But the way
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: he's been behaving this week and the language and the
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 2: things coming out of this guy's mouth, I don't know.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Caleb Park joining us on the Patriot
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 2: Mobile Newsmaker line. Caleb, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has put
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 2: out a memorandum, and they're telling all of their journalists
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: they're not to describe what happened on September 11, 2001,
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 2: as a terrorist attack. Now, this is the 25th anniversary
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 2: of that horrible, horrible day. And my take on it
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 2: is very clear. We all know what happened on 9-11.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 2: That's the day the Muslims waged jihad on American soil
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 2: in the name of their religion. The terrorists chanted Allah
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 2: Akbar as they slammed jetliners into the buildings. And nearly
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 2: 3,000 people were killed that day in the name of
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: the religion of peace. And I don't know about you, Caleb,
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 2: but everything I need to know or want to know
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 2: about Islam, I learned on September 11th, 2001. What say you?
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 20: I think you said it, Todd. I was in fifth
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 20: grade when this happened. I remember everything about that day
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 20: when it happened. And the teacher running over and turning
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 20: on the TV, all of us pulling out our journals
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 20: and scribbling down, you know, as it was happening. And
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 20: then when the second tower got hit and that whole
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 20: day just with my eyes glued to the news, you know,
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 20: wondering if this was going to happen in our communities.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 20: It was the greatest terror attack at the time. And
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 20: I think, you know, especially as a new generation grows
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 20: up and they weren't there to see what happened on
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 20: 9-11 for themselves, it's more important now than ever for
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 20: people to speak out, to share their stories. When you
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 20: have news outlets and a whole entire country trying to
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 20: erase this, trying to sanitize it.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 3: You have to.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 20: Wonder what's behind that. It's demonic, it's disturbing, and it
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 20: makes you wonder what's going on there and who they're
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 20: trying to really appease here.
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 2: Well, in the aftermath of all of this, you had
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 2: Muslims in America who tried to portray themselves as the
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 2: victims here, and I think you had the media, which
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 2: was pretty complicit in advancing that notion. The day the networks,
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 2: and Caleb, you were a kid, so you weren't in
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 2: the newsroom then, but the decision was made by the
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 2: major networks to not show the planes flying into the
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 2: buildings because they didn't want to unnecessarily offend people. No,
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 2: they wanted people to forget the atrocities of that day
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 2: and how terrified the entire nation was. I mean, that
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 2: was a a heart-stopping day in American history.
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 3: It really was, Todd.
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 20: And I think we'll never forget seeing those images of
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 20: people jumping out of the building and jumping to their
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 20: death and hearing the screams of people running from the
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 20: buildings and hearing the calls of the people on the plane,
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 20: Todd Beamer saying, let's roll. The stories of heroism and
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 20: the stories of the horror of the Islamic terror that
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 20: happened that day. And it's something, if we never want
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 20: to repeat it, we have to continue to tell the
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 20: story to make sure that this is not sanitized, that
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 20: it's not wiped away. Never again, never forget, you know,
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 20: that that means something. And this is one of those
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 20: times where we need to take a stand. We need
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 20: to speak out and make sure that people know that
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 20: this is not okay. Not in Canada, not anywhere.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 2: Caleb, you've got a story you've been following. It's something
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 2: called Faithless Christianity, and it's a challenge. And I understand
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 2: a guy actually found Jesus during the Faithless Christianity challenge.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 2: What's that all about?
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 20: Yeah, so this is actually, you know those challenges on
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 20: social media, Todd, that kids do, and there's some that
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 20: are really crazy out there. This is one that might
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 20: actually be a good good one. So his name is
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 20: Brian and he lives in New York city of all places.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 20: And he decided what, what would it be like if
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 20: I spent 30 days pretending to be a Christian? And
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 20: he made it very simple. He followed four basic things,
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 20: you know, every day he would start with morning prayer, gratitude,
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 20: read about God and apply his teachings. You know, sadly
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 20: that's more than some practicing Christians do if we're being
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 20: completely honest there. But, um, he, he, he spent out
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 20: to do it for 30 days, but on day 20, he,
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 20: he said, I can't pretend anymore. And he fought back
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 20: tears and he gave his life to Christ and his
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 20: story just blew up. And, you know, so now he's
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 20: going to a park in New York city and he's
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 20: sharing with people like, what would it be like to
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 20: pretend to believe that God is real? And he's calling
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 20: it faithless Christianity when, you know, I think it's, Do
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 20: you put the cart before the horse? But other people
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 20: are starting to do the same. And I think this
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 20: is a really, really cool challenge. And I'd encourage people
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 20: to check it out. I shared it on my Facebook page.
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 20: And it was really cool to hear people's stories of
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 20: how they came to Christ. And a lot of people
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 20: said they did something similar. They didn't have a name
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 20: for it. And I think it's cool to hear people's
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 20: testimonies and hear people's questions. And that's what he's been sharing.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 2: Wow, what a tremendous story, and finally some good news
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 2: coming out of the social media world. I love to
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 2: hear that. Caleb, before we let you go, I know
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 2: a lot of people remembering Dolly Parton passing away, and
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 2: she was universally beloved. Final thoughts on Dolly Parton.
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 20: Yeah, Todd, I remember my first memory of her was
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 20: a boob joke about how she couldn't see her feet,
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 20: but it started there, and then Everything else has been
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 20: just so much deeper than that. You got to know
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 20: Dolly's heart and her incredible songwriting. My favorite song is
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 20: Code of Many Colors, I Will Always Love You. And
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 20: she got reintroduced to my generation and the generation, Gen
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 20: Z as well, millennials, on Hannah Montana with Miley Cyrus
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 20: as Aunt Dolly. And I think she's somebody that everybody
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 20: didn't really view her as a celebrity so much as
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 20: she was a mother figure or like your aunt or,
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 20: you know, your sister. She was very relatable. She was
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 20: down to earth. She knew who she was. And I
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 20: think it's been reflected in the way that people have
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 20: remembered her. We're not talking about all of the, the
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 20: awards that she has and all the, you know, things
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 20: that she's done for kids and everything. Everybody talks about
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 20: how kind she was, how loving she was. And so
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 20: in her honor, I want to encourage everybody, you know,
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 20: choose love, choose kindness. And, um, Live your authentic self.
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I think it's a great reminder of that.
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 2: I want to play some, this is, as we head
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 2: to break, this is Dolly Parton and her family, you know,
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 2: her entire family, including her mom and dad, singing a
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 2: version of a great Appalachian song called In the Pines. And,
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 2: you know, when I heard this, I thought about my
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 2: own mom who grew up, my mom was Southern, and
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 2: had that same sort of voice inflection you're going to
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 2: hear in Dolly's mom when she sings this beautiful version
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 2: of In the Pines. Caleb Park, always good to see you,
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 2: my friend. And as we go to break, let's listen
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 2: to Dolly Parton and her family singing In the Pines.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 21: I took lessons from Mother Maybel Carter.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 16: She won't admit it.
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 7: See, I can understand why she wouldn't.
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 22: Is everybody ready back there?
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 21: It'll take me three minutes.
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 22: To get up.
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 16: Here we go.
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 22: In the pines, in the pines where the sun never
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 22: shines And you shiver when the cold winds blow.
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 21: Love my love what have I done that.
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 4: Makes you treat me so.
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 22: You've caused me to weep you've caused me to moan
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 22: you've caused me to leave.
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 21: My home everybody in the pines in the pines where
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 21: the sun never shines And you shiver when the cold
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 21: winds blow.
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 16: I asked my captain for the time of day. He
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 16: told his watcher.
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 21: In the pines, in the pines where.
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 7: The sun never shines.
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 3: And you shiver.
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 22: When the cold winds blow. Let's sing it one more time.
