Transcript
- 0:10Speaker 1: Well, live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
- 0:13Speaker 1: It's America's favorite gun, Total Bible Clinging, Deplorable America.
- 0:18Speaker 2: That's American ud starts Monday, and hello everybody, Welcome to
- 0:30Speaker 2: the Ton Starns Radio program. A great to have you
- 0:33Speaker 2: with us today as we broadcast border to border, coast
- 0:37Speaker 2: to coast across the Fruited Plain, and a lot a
- 0:42Speaker 2: lot going on today. The war in Iran is about
- 0:48Speaker 2: to be rancheted up a few notches, and the President
- 0:53Speaker 2: announcing earlier today that we're going to be taking carg Island.
- 0:58Speaker 2: So we're going to get in a to some of
- 1:00Speaker 2: that here in just a little while. And I know
- 1:04Speaker 2: many of you have grave concerns about what's happening there
- 1:08Speaker 2: in the Middle East and also how long this is
- 1:12Speaker 2: going on. The President also mentioning when it comes to inflation,
- 1:16Speaker 2: and we'll play some audio from this a little bit
- 1:18Speaker 2: later on the President talking about how he loves inflation.
- 1:24Speaker 2: I don't think that he meant it the way he
- 1:27Speaker 2: thought he meant it, but no doubt about it. There
- 1:31Speaker 2: are a lot of people making a lot of political
- 1:33Speaker 2: hay about that, and the fact of the matter is
- 1:36Speaker 2: inflation is going up. I suspect it will come crashing
- 1:40Speaker 2: down once we finish whatever is happening in the Middle
- 1:44Speaker 2: East with the rod But right now, there's no indication
- 1:49Speaker 2: that this is going to end anytime soon, and we
- 1:52Speaker 2: could be dealing with this issue going all the way
- 1:55Speaker 2: at least until August at the earliest. So we'll get
- 1:59Speaker 2: into more of that in just a little while. Also,
- 2:02Speaker 2: we're following some breaking news out of the Pentagon where
- 2:07Speaker 2: a shelter in place order. This is all happening in
- 2:09Speaker 2: the past what half hour or so, and the Pentagon
- 2:13Speaker 2: has been ordered at least parts of the Pentagon have
- 2:17Speaker 2: been ordered to shelter in place. There is a hasmat
- 2:21Speaker 2: crew on the scene. There's been some sort of a
- 2:23Speaker 2: has hazardous materials incident at the Pentagon. We don't have
- 2:29Speaker 2: any other information. There's a very large police and first
- 2:32Speaker 2: responder presence. We understand that some areas of the Pentagon
- 2:36Speaker 2: have in fact been evacuated and this is all tied
- 2:42Speaker 2: into some sort of an air quality issues. So we
- 2:45Speaker 2: have the story and the information that is currently available
- 2:48Speaker 2: at Todd Sterns dot com right now, including some video.
- 2:52Speaker 2: So again we don't know if this is. We don't
- 2:55Speaker 2: know if this is a real problem. If this was
- 2:57Speaker 2: I don't know, they said air quality issue. We don't know,
- 3:00Speaker 2: if it was what taco Thursday at the pending on
- 3:02Speaker 2: We don't know. We don't know, but as soon as
- 3:06Speaker 2: we get more information, we will certainly share that with you.
- 3:09Speaker 2: So look, this, uh, this Carmelo Anthony story just gets
- 3:15Speaker 2: more and more bizarre. And some of the rhetoric coming
- 3:19Speaker 2: from black lawmakers and black activists and uh and entertainers
- 3:25Speaker 2: and musicians is just weird. It's off the charts. And
- 3:30Speaker 2: now you actually have there's a video, there's something happening
- 3:34Speaker 2: on social media where where people are now running around
- 3:38Speaker 2: and they're just randomly attacking white people. And it's the
- 3:43Speaker 2: it's it's a very dangerous situation. But you've got a
- 3:46Speaker 2: lot of these activists that are out there now telling people,
- 3:49Speaker 2: you know what, we we we're so angry, we're so
- 3:53Speaker 2: angry that a black guy got punished for killing a
- 3:55Speaker 2: white guy that we want you black person to go
- 3:59Speaker 2: out and at a white person. Now, you would think
- 4:04Speaker 2: this would be wall to wall coverage, breaking news, but no,
- 4:08Speaker 2: the media is turned The media is turning a blind
- 4:11Speaker 2: eye to this and again, and this bears repeating because
- 4:16Speaker 2: a generation of young people, black, white, his Vanicasion America,
- 4:19Speaker 2: you name it. A generation they've been taught that white
- 4:22Speaker 2: people deserve whatever they get. So the white people are
- 4:27Speaker 2: the oppressors, and therefore all of us white people should
- 4:31Speaker 2: pay a penalty of that. We should pay a price
- 4:34Speaker 2: for that. You know, Cardi B Is out there and
- 4:38Speaker 2: now she's all upset because she says that she has
- 4:41Speaker 2: to tell her Well, I wouldn't you listen. I want
- 4:44Speaker 2: you to listen to what Carti B has to say
- 4:46Speaker 2: about this cut thirty nine.
- 4:48Speaker 3: I sure learned something from this. I learned to tell
- 4:51Speaker 3: my sons if a white boy, now, are you with
- 4:56Speaker 3: no white boys, because baby, ain't no law protecting you
- 5:05Speaker 3: if something goes down with them. That's what I learned
- 5:08Speaker 3: from this case. I'm gonna tell my sons, you arguing
- 5:12Speaker 3: with a white boy, walk the away because the law
- 5:16Speaker 3: don't protect you.
- 5:18Speaker 2: All right, Sorry about the language there, ladies and gentlemen.
- 5:24Speaker 2: So look, here's the deal. Do we have the do
- 5:32Speaker 2: we have our our male bag music? Can we just
- 5:35Speaker 2: pull that up? I'm calling an audible here because I
- 5:38Speaker 2: feel like we need to have this conversation with I
- 5:41Speaker 2: don't black America white America. No, we needed something on
- 5:45Speaker 2: this show. We just we call it like we see it.
- 5:48Speaker 2: And if white people were running around stabbing black people,
- 5:50Speaker 2: we would be having this conversation with with white people
- 5:55Speaker 2: black people of America. I want to share with you
- 5:58Speaker 2: this a moment, and Carne B in particular, because now
- 6:01Speaker 2: she's very conflicted and she's got to sit down and
- 6:04Speaker 2: tell her sons that it's that it's not appropriate to
- 6:09Speaker 2: go up to a white person and stab them or
- 6:11Speaker 2: shoot them or carjack them or rob them. And it's troubling.
- 6:20Speaker 2: I suppose to someone like Cardi B who has to
- 6:23Speaker 2: sit down and have that very difficult conversation with her children.
- 6:29Speaker 2: I guess up until now, Cardi B was telling her
- 6:33Speaker 2: children that, you know, if you see a white guy
- 6:36Speaker 2: walking on the sidewalking, you know what, it's okay. If
- 6:38Speaker 2: you're having a bad day, maybe you've got a bad
- 6:41Speaker 2: grade in school, you can just go up and just
- 6:44Speaker 2: stand the living daylights at them, or if you're living
- 6:46Speaker 2: Northern Ireland, you can try to behead the guy. But no, no, no,
- 6:51Speaker 2: can't do that anymore, no sirree, no, no, no, it's
- 6:58Speaker 2: it's it's insane. Thank you for the music, Videla. It's
- 7:01Speaker 2: insane that we have to have these kinds of conversations.
- 7:06Speaker 2: By the way, she's not the she's not the only one.
- 7:10Speaker 2: So on the day of the verdict, some woman was
- 7:14Speaker 2: out there and she was raising, holy you know what
- 7:17Speaker 2: because she was saying that she she want to know
- 7:20Speaker 2: what am I gonna what am I gonna tell my kids?
- 7:24Speaker 2: What do I do? And she's she was all upset
- 7:29Speaker 2: about this, and and and again. My my response to
- 7:33Speaker 2: that is, ma'am, you tell your sons if they've got
- 7:36Speaker 2: a problem with somebody, you really don't have a right
- 7:40Speaker 2: to stab them or shoot them or take their life.
- 7:44Speaker 2: You don't. You don't have that right. I mean, this
- 7:48Speaker 2: is insanity what's going on here. But it is not
- 7:52Speaker 2: surprising because this is what critical race theory looks like
- 7:56Speaker 2: in practice. And if you're not clear about that, well
- 8:01Speaker 2: cut number thirty two.
- 8:07Speaker 4: Holy good, good.
- 8:16Speaker 3: Good, holy good.
- 8:24Speaker 2: All right, And again on this program we prefer the
- 8:28Speaker 2: term saltinge Americans. But again in this in this nation,
- 8:33Speaker 2: people are allowed to utter those white slurs, if you will,
- 8:37Speaker 2: without abandon or with abandon. So there you have it everybody.
- 8:42Speaker 2: The the parents, by the way of of Carmelo Anthony,
- 8:46Speaker 2: are hitting the hitting the media circuit now, and their
- 8:51Speaker 2: argument is that every single person who tests on, every
- 8:55Speaker 2: single person who testified line, every single one of them,
- 8:59Speaker 2: including all the black eyewitnesses who testified as to what
- 9:03Speaker 2: they saw and who instigated the fight and how it
- 9:07Speaker 2: all went. That shit, they're saying, every single person conspired
- 9:11Speaker 2: to lie about their son. I know this guy got
- 9:15Speaker 2: thirty five years in prison. I think they should have
- 9:17Speaker 2: thrown the book at this kid. Ninety nine years in prison.
- 9:21Speaker 2: That is the that's the maximum sentence for killing someone
- 9:26Speaker 2: in the state of Texas, and quite frankly, that's what
- 9:29Speaker 2: this guy should have gotten. The message here is really
- 9:33Speaker 2: not a racial message. The message is really a message
- 9:36Speaker 2: for humanity. You do not have the right to take
- 9:40Speaker 2: the life of someone simply because you don't like the
- 9:44Speaker 2: color of their skin. Now, the family made all of this,
- 9:49Speaker 2: Carmelo Anthony and the family made all this about race,
- 9:52Speaker 2: and it had nothing to do with race. But now
- 9:54Speaker 2: it has everything to do with race, and the families
- 9:57Speaker 2: responsible for that, Carmelo Anthony's family. But let me tell
- 10:02Speaker 2: you something, there is a big problem in this country.
- 10:05Speaker 2: Nobody really wants to talk about it. But there's so
- 10:07Speaker 2: much black on white crime that goes unaddressed in this nation.
- 10:13Speaker 2: And for parents like Cardi B and the woman with
- 10:16Speaker 2: the five sons down there in Texas wondering what do
- 10:19Speaker 2: we tell our kids? You tell your kids not to
- 10:21Speaker 2: kill people? How about that You want to sit down
- 10:25Speaker 2: and have the talk. Great, have that talk, you can
- 10:28Speaker 2: you know what, you can tie it in with the
- 10:30Speaker 2: birds and the bees, just one fell swoop and just
- 10:33Speaker 2: get it over with. But what a sad situation we
- 10:37Speaker 2: live in. And I talked about this on the Newsmach
- 10:41Speaker 2: Show last night that ultimately, ultimately this is all a
- 10:46Speaker 2: spiritual problem, right, it really is. And until we can
- 10:50Speaker 2: understand that we are all mating God's image that you
- 10:55Speaker 2: are not better or worse because of skin color, we
- 10:58Speaker 2: are all we are all well at the foot of
- 11:01Speaker 2: the cross. Until we can understand that concept, we're never
- 11:04Speaker 2: going to release solve anything in this country. I mean,
- 11:06Speaker 2: it's it's just going to continue to get worse, all right,
- 11:10Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here when we come back. Your
- 11:13Speaker 2: calls nine oh one two six zero five nine two six,

- 11:35Speaker 2: of this happened during a wrestling match. We're going to
- 11:38Speaker 2: be talking to that young lady's attorney. Coming up in
- 11:40Speaker 2: just a little while. Also, Brigadier General John Tiger Dragon
- 11:45Speaker 2: is going to be here. He's going to give us

- 12:42Speaker 2: a big one. We're saying goodbye to something that's helped
- 12:44Speaker 2: thousands of families over the years. The Patriot Power Generator,
- 12:48Speaker 2: one of the best selling solar generators of twenty twenty five,
- 12:52Speaker 2: is officially being retired. And the reason they've just released
- 12:56Speaker 2: something even better. It's called the Patriot Power Generator TO
- 13:00Speaker 2: two zero zero X and this is their most powerful
- 13:03Speaker 2: model yet. It's built for real life situations, storms, outages,
- 13:08Speaker 2: emergencies when you need power the most. To launch it.
- 13:11Speaker 5: They're doing something pretty crazy right now. You can get
- 13:14Speaker 5: five hundred dollars off the generator. Plus they're including two
- 13:17Speaker 5: free solar panels, so you can double your charging power
- 13:20Speaker 5: right out of the box. They're also throwing in a
- 13:23Speaker 5: heavy duty roll in go kart, an extended three year warranty,
- 13:27Speaker 5: and if you're a senior or a veteran, you can
- 13:29Speaker 5: save an additional two hundred dollars. And here's the part
- 13:33Speaker 5: that really stands out because they offer a payment plan.
- 13:37Speaker 5: You can get started today for just two hundred and
- 13:39Speaker 5: ninety nine dollars and its ships as soon as tomorrow.
- 13:43Speaker 5: But this is a limited launch offer. It's first come,
- 13:46Speaker 5: first served, and these kinds of deals don't stick around,
- 13:49Speaker 5: especially with how unpredictable power outages have been lately. So
- 13:53Speaker 5: if you've ever thought about having backup power for your home,
- 13:56Speaker 5: now's the time to do it. Stay safe, stay prepared,
- 14:00Speaker 5: and don't wait until the lights go out. Go to
- 14:02Speaker 5: starnesprepper dot com right now to take advantage of this
- 14:05Speaker 5: limited time offer.
- 14:17Speaker 2: And welcome back everybody. It is the Tom Stearns Radio Show.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Let's go right to the phone lines nine oh one
- 14:23Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six. We're gonna say
- 14:26Speaker 2: hello to Steve in Houston, Texas listening to us on
- 14:30Speaker 2: Patriot Talk nine to twenty. Hi Steve, what's on your
- 14:34Speaker 2: mind today?
- 14:36Speaker 6: Hey Tod, how are you doing? I was just listening to,
- 14:39Speaker 6: you know, your discussion about what's going on with this
- 14:42Speaker 6: stabbing and it brings them out. You know, during the sixties,
- 14:47Speaker 6: people were marching to Thomas Jefferson's statue with states that
- 14:51Speaker 6: you know, it's never been more clearly written in the
- 14:54Speaker 6: annals of history that all men are created equal. Well,
- 14:58Speaker 6: they left out the risk of his quote. If you
- 15:01Speaker 6: read his writings, he was terrified about the slavery issue
- 15:06Speaker 6: because he believed that we were going to be responsible
- 15:10Speaker 6: for the murder of our own grandchildren. And the rest
- 15:14Speaker 6: of that quote basically states that, you know, never neither
- 15:19Speaker 6: is it more clearly written that the two races can't
- 15:22Speaker 6: live equally in a society.
- 15:25Speaker 7: And if you.
- 15:25Speaker 6: Study the writings of Abraham Lincoln, I mean they were
- 15:28Speaker 6: the same thing. People back then were worried about what
- 15:32Speaker 6: would happen, you know, between the two races if we
- 15:35Speaker 6: tried to live together after the slavery issue.
- 15:39Speaker 2: So what are you saying here? What's your What's what's
- 15:41Speaker 2: your point, Steve?
- 15:42Speaker 6: I'm not I'm not saying that.
- 15:44Speaker 2: No, I'm asking you what your point is here. You've
- 15:46Speaker 2: made a statement. I'm just asking you what your point
- 15:48Speaker 2: is that that's all My point is.
- 15:51Speaker 6: That the founders were separate. They did not believe that
- 15:54Speaker 6: it was possible for us to all live in an
- 15:57Speaker 6: equal society because blacks would be so angered in hostile
- 16:02Speaker 6: towards us, that even Thomas Jefferson said that we would
- 16:06Speaker 6: be responsible for murdering our own grandson.
- 16:09Speaker 2: Well, there was there is no doubt that Lincoln evolved
- 16:12Speaker 2: his positions on the race issue. Of course, it was
- 16:17Speaker 2: Lincoln who signed the Emancipation Proclamation, so clearly his thinking
- 16:22Speaker 2: on that changed. And I would I would disagree with
- 16:25Speaker 2: the founding fathers on that. I do believe that we
- 16:28Speaker 2: can all live, but it's not an equal society in
- 16:31Speaker 2: the sense of, you know, everybody's going to have a
- 16:35Speaker 2: certain amount everybody's going to have the same amount of land,
- 16:37Speaker 2: everybody's going to have the same amount of money in
- 16:39Speaker 2: the bank account. That's that's not America. That's not what
- 16:42Speaker 2: it means to be an American, and that never will
- 16:45Speaker 2: be what it means to be an American. You're going
- 16:48Speaker 2: to have rich white people, you're gonna have rich black people,
- 16:50Speaker 2: You're gonna have poor black people, You're gonna have poor
- 16:53Speaker 2: white people.
- 16:55Speaker 6: With everything you're staying on the issue. What we're seeing
- 16:58Speaker 6: now is this critical race theories. You know, it's what
- 17:02Speaker 6: children are being taught and it makes me afraid for
- 17:05Speaker 6: my ten year old white daughters that's growing up. Because
- 17:08Speaker 6: if we don't get to the point where we can
- 17:11Speaker 6: discuss issues racial issues, and you know, it's impossible to
- 17:16Speaker 6: discuss people start getting hostile. They don't want to talk
- 17:20Speaker 6: about it. And I think that's the problem in this country,
- 17:24Speaker 6: and they need to do away with any kind of
- 17:27Speaker 6: critical race theory of school or any of that if
- 17:31Speaker 6: we're ever going to live equally, you know, with the
- 17:34Speaker 6: same equal right, not that we're all equal, because even
- 17:38Speaker 6: all people are the same ethnic group, are not all equal.
- 17:42Speaker 7: Some you know, have.
- 17:43Speaker 6: More capability than others. But you get what I'm saying.
- 17:50Speaker 6: I agree with everything you're staying on this. I just
- 17:53Speaker 6: I think this is a subject that was a concern
- 17:56Speaker 6: way back when it started.
- 17:58Speaker 2: Well, I will say that in the eighties, if you
- 18:03Speaker 2: go back to the eighties and the nineties, there was
- 18:05Speaker 2: not the aside from the Rodney King riot, you did
- 18:09Speaker 2: not have this racial upheaval that we have now. And
- 18:13Speaker 2: the reason why it's being manufactured in our public schools,
- 18:18Speaker 2: that's that's what's happening here. And the American people have
- 18:21Speaker 2: just refused to deal with this. I think the American
- 18:24Speaker 2: people by and large didn't even know what was happening
- 18:27Speaker 2: in there in those classrooms. Steve, thank you, let's go
- 18:30Speaker 2: to North Carolina. Steven, what's on your mind?
- 18:33Speaker 7: Well, thank you for staking a call. And it bothers
- 18:37Speaker 7: me very much. The thirty five year sentate. I don't
- 18:41Speaker 7: feel like you should reward someone for taking somebody's life
- 18:45Speaker 7: because right now that he probably will not even serve
- 18:48Speaker 7: thirty five years, although he might want to, because he's
- 18:51Speaker 7: going to get free room board, free medical attention, he's
- 18:54Speaker 7: going to get three squares a day, he's probably going
- 18:57Speaker 7: to be able to get his ged or college degree
- 18:59Speaker 7: for that. Why should I have to pay for him
- 19:02Speaker 7: taking another person's life. I don't like that. I don't
- 19:05Speaker 7: want my taxpayer dollars do that. I think if you
- 19:08Speaker 7: take a life, you give a life, and that's all
- 19:11Speaker 7: it is to it, as far as that goes, as
- 19:12Speaker 7: far as the racial aspect, wouldn't be wonderful. And that's
- 19:16Speaker 7: aught about this for you? Isn't it interesting? Matthew. I'm
- 19:19Speaker 7: gonna use scripture here. Matthew. You know whatsoever you do
- 19:23Speaker 7: to the least of these, that's so you do, And
- 19:26Speaker 7: to me it is interesting that God is g a
- 19:30Speaker 7: d and the least of these in Matthew was dog
- 19:33Speaker 7: the ages, and dogs don't see black or white, They
- 19:37Speaker 7: see in the shades of gray. Wouldn't it be wonderful
- 19:40Speaker 7: if human beings could forget about color?
- 19:44Speaker 2: And well, yes, yes, absolutely, But the reality is we
- 19:50Speaker 2: do not live in that kind of a country right now.
- 19:53Speaker 2: All men are created equal, and that means we have
- 19:55Speaker 2: equality of opportunity, ladies and gentlemen, all of us do. Stephen,
- 20:00Speaker 2: thank you for that. Got to take a break. We'll
- 20:01Speaker 2: be right backs the speaker.
- 20:10Speaker 4: For four years, Democrats actively encouraged the largest illegal mass
- 20:14Speaker 4: migration in history, including the most vicious criminals in the world.
- 20:20Speaker 4: For the last year, these same Democrats have done everything
- 20:23Speaker 4: they can to obstruct, impede, and even attack federal officers
- 20:27Speaker 4: who are trying to enforce our immigration laws. Without CBP
- 20:32Speaker 4: and ICE enforcing our immigration laws, we have no borders,
- 20:36Speaker 4: which means we have no country. That is the effect,
- 20:40Speaker 4: if not the design, of the Democrat's refusal to fund
- 20:43Speaker 4: these agencies. This bill breaks the democrats strangle hold over
- 20:48Speaker 4: ICE and CBP funding. Reconciliation is specifically designed to bring
- 20:53Speaker 4: mandatory spending in line with limits set by.
- 20:56Speaker 2: The Budget Resolution.
- 20:57Speaker 4: Instead, we have no choice but to use is it
- 21:00Speaker 4: to restore the security of our nation. We'll have one
- 21:04Speaker 4: more shout at reconciliation for the coming fiscal year, and
- 21:07Speaker 4: it must be used to fulfill our responsibility to future
- 21:11Speaker 4: generations who are already drowning in our debt.
- 21:14Speaker 2: All right, that is the voice of our next guest,
- 21:18Speaker 2: the great Congressman from the state of California, Tom mcclen
- 21:21Speaker 2: talk and again the issue here, cracking down on illegal immigration,
- 21:27Speaker 2: cracking down on these sanctuary city policies. Congressman, good to
- 21:31Speaker 2: have you with us today on the show.
- 21:33Speaker 4: Well, good to be with you, Thanks for having me.
- 21:35Speaker 2: You know, I don't think people realize, truly understand how
- 21:40Speaker 2: serious of a situation these sanctuary city policies are. And
- 21:43Speaker 2: you guys are I know you're fired up about this
- 21:46Speaker 2: because it's happening very close to Washington, d c. There
- 21:49Speaker 2: in Fairfax County, Virginia.
- 21:52Speaker 4: Well, I mean it's happening everywhere. They're an estimated ten
- 21:55Speaker 4: ms thirteen gang members loose in our country now courtesy
- 21:58Speaker 4: of the Biden administrations all and borders trendy. Aragua has
- 22:02Speaker 4: acted at least nineteen states of the Sheriff of Tillarry
- 22:07Speaker 4: County near my district, to testified a couple of years
- 22:11Speaker 4: ago that the Cina Looa cartel is now operating throughout
- 22:14Speaker 4: the state of California, and that includes the organized execution squads.
- 22:19Speaker 4: He asked me about half the crime he's dealing with
- 22:22Speaker 4: in his rural county involves illegal aliens, many of them
- 22:25Speaker 4: serving in organized criminal gangs.
- 22:29Speaker 2: Congressman, again, so many issues facing the country, and the Democrats,
- 22:34Speaker 2: I think, time and time again have just stood up
- 22:37Speaker 2: and they have really tried to stand in the way
- 22:41Speaker 2: of removing many dangerous illegal aliens from this country.
- 22:47Speaker 4: Well, yes, this is a deliberate policy. And you know
- 22:50Speaker 4: they'll say, oh, well, we're all right with deporting dangerous criminals.
- 22:55Speaker 4: It's just all the others that were not all right
- 22:58Speaker 4: with deporting Well, a couple of points on that. First
- 23:00Speaker 4: of all, that's a lie. Their own sanctuary laws were
- 23:05Speaker 4: specifically designed to keep criminals in this country rather than
- 23:10Speaker 4: deporting them. So their actions speak far louder than those words.
- 23:16Speaker 4: But more to the point, you know, as I pointed out,
- 23:19Speaker 4: without enforcing our immigration laws, we have no immigration laws.
- 23:22Speaker 2: Congressman, I want to switch gears. A lot happening on
- 23:25Speaker 2: Capitol Hill and at the White House, the President coming
- 23:28Speaker 2: out earlier today and saying he intends to seize carg Island.
- 23:33Speaker 2: I understand that we are ratcheting up the attacks on Iran.
- 23:37Speaker 2: Is that a good move that the President is making here,
- 23:40Speaker 2: seizing Iran's oil infrastructure?
- 23:44Speaker 4: Yes, this doesn't end any other way than the total
- 23:47Speaker 4: collapse of this regime. I think the President made a
- 23:52Speaker 4: mistake by pausing hostilities when he did. I'm old fashioned
- 23:56Speaker 4: about this. I think when you've got the enemy on
- 23:57Speaker 4: the ropes, you keep punching until he quits of This
- 24:01Speaker 4: ceasefire allowed them time to regroup and lick their wounds
- 24:07Speaker 4: for a while, But ultimately, I think this is going
- 24:10Speaker 4: to end with arming the resistance within Iran. They have
- 24:14Speaker 4: been so brutally terrorized for forty seven years. The resentment
- 24:19Speaker 4: is overwhelming, and if we just get them the arms
- 24:22Speaker 4: they need, they can take back their country.
- 24:25Speaker 2: Yeah, Congressman, I'm with you on that. I'm old school, tool, Congressman.
- 24:28Speaker 2: And again, we've been at war with these people since
- 24:31Speaker 2: nineteen seventy nine, and I'm glad the President is finally
- 24:34Speaker 2: doing something about it. But again, we should I'm tired
- 24:38Speaker 2: of the ceasefires. You can't trust the Iranian leadership, And
- 24:42Speaker 2: the reality is we've got a big problem in this
- 24:44Speaker 2: country that is connected to Iran, which is inflation going up,
- 24:49Speaker 2: gas prices, everything else. And Congressman, I don't know if
- 24:53Speaker 2: you're hearing it from your constituents, but a lot of
- 24:55Speaker 2: people around the country are really struggling right now financially.
- 25:00Speaker 4: Well, yes, and a lot of that is because of
- 25:05Speaker 4: the temporary spike and energy prices caused on the international market,
- 25:09Speaker 4: because of the uncertainties involving Iran. The sooner we get
- 25:12Speaker 4: that behind us, the sooner people are going to be
- 25:15Speaker 4: feeling relief. And don't forget last year we passed the
- 25:18Speaker 4: Big Beautiful Bill, which was one of the largest attacks
- 25:21Speaker 4: and regulatory reliefs ever passed. It was Reaganomics on steroids.
- 25:27Speaker 4: I remember the Reagan recovery. You could feel it in
- 25:30Speaker 4: the air. We've already enacted those policies, but they need
- 25:35Speaker 4: to get to where people live in their own lives,
- 25:38Speaker 4: and iron is creating a cross current. The sooner we're
- 25:43Speaker 4: beyond that, the.
- 25:44Speaker 2: Better you know, Congressman, We've been following closely all the
- 25:47Speaker 2: developments in California and I think a lot of people
- 25:51Speaker 2: are just staggered to know that they're still counting votes.
- 25:55Speaker 2: What you guys, what they've got what thirty something days?
- 25:58Speaker 2: A little over thirty something days to actually finish counting
- 26:01Speaker 2: the votes. Meanwhile, in countries like India six hundred and
- 26:04Speaker 2: forty billion people, they count all the votes in one day.
- 26:08Speaker 2: What is going on in your state there, sir.
- 26:11Speaker 4: Well, the Democrats have torn down all of the safeguards
- 26:14Speaker 4: that prevent fraud and that are sure that everyone can
- 26:17Speaker 4: have confidence in the integrity of the elections. Today, ballots
- 26:23Speaker 4: are mailed everybody on the voter rulls, which are very,
- 26:28Speaker 4: very difficult to clean up. We've got thousands, tens of
- 26:33Speaker 4: thousands of people who should not be registered to vote,
- 26:36Speaker 4: but are because they've died or moved. But ballots go
- 26:39Speaker 4: out to them, and there's no change of custody in
- 26:41Speaker 4: those ballots from the time they're mailed out until their
- 26:44Speaker 4: time they're actually counted in the election results we used
- 26:49Speaker 4: to do. And not only that, but they're also accepting
- 26:52Speaker 4: ballots up to seven days after the election, as long
- 26:56Speaker 4: as somebody has written.
- 26:58Speaker 8: A pre date.
- 27:00Speaker 4: Date predating the election on the envelope. Now what could
- 27:03Speaker 4: possibly go wrong with that? We used to do it
- 27:06Speaker 4: the right way. We used to wait till election day.
- 27:09Speaker 4: We all went to our neighborhood polling place. We looked
- 27:13Speaker 4: our neighbors on the precinct board in the eye as
- 27:15Speaker 4: they handed us our ballot. We took that ballot into
- 27:18Speaker 4: a curtain booth where nobody could influence our vote, not
- 27:21Speaker 4: our spouse, not our caregiver, not our kids, not some
- 27:24Speaker 4: political or union hack. We cast that in absolute privacy,
- 27:29Speaker 4: took that ballot literally handed it back to our neighbor,
- 27:32Speaker 4: and we watched as they put it in a lock box.
- 27:35Speaker 4: By eight PM, we knew exactly how many people had voted.
- 27:38Speaker 4: By eleven PM, we knew who'd won. They've destroyed that
- 27:42Speaker 4: entire system and with it the confidence that people have
- 27:47Speaker 4: in the integrity of the count.
- 27:49Speaker 2: Poversman, I'm curious how you feel about this idea of
- 27:52Speaker 2: the US Postal Service coming up with the that there's
- 27:55Speaker 2: an idea that the states have to hand over their
- 27:58Speaker 2: full mail in and absentee voter list, plus every ballots
- 28:03Speaker 2: personalized barcode, or they could stop doing mail delivery. Look,
- 28:09Speaker 2: you got to play hardball with the Democrats. I kind
- 28:12Speaker 2: of like this idea. What say you.
- 28:15Speaker 4: Until we can get back in person election day voting,
- 28:19Speaker 4: I think that's the next best thing.
- 28:22Speaker 2: Wow. That being said, I'm just curious. I love the
- 28:27Speaker 2: history of the conservative movement being birthed there in southern California,
- 28:31Speaker 2: Orange County, and of course Reagan and Nixon and so
- 28:35Speaker 2: many strong conservatives coming out of California. I'm looking at
- 28:39Speaker 2: those vote totals and I just still see a very
- 28:42Speaker 2: strong Republican party there. What do you think it's going
- 28:45Speaker 2: to take to get Republicans back in office in a
- 28:49Speaker 2: lot of those state seats.
- 28:51Speaker 4: Well, it's going to take a lot of non Republicans
- 28:54Speaker 4: connecting the dots between the votes they've been casting all
- 28:57Speaker 4: these years and the desperate conditions that they're now living in.
- 29:01Speaker 4: California used to be the Golden State. We had low taxes,
- 29:05Speaker 4: We had the best highways in the world. We had
- 29:08Speaker 4: the finest public university system in the world, one of
- 29:11Speaker 4: the finest public school systems in the country. We had
- 29:14Speaker 4: abundant and affordable housing at every income, electricity, cheaper water.
- 29:21Speaker 4: All of that's been destroyed by the socialist policies that
- 29:25Speaker 4: have been imposed in our state. Shouldn't be a surprise.
- 29:28Speaker 4: That's what they've always done. Wherever you see the socialist
- 29:31Speaker 4: state control, you see the same political and economic and
- 29:35Speaker 4: social pathologies. You see sky high taxes, rising crime, rampant homelessness,
- 29:41Speaker 4: chronic shortages of basic necessities like housing, electricity, water, gasoline.
- 29:48Speaker 4: You see a bitter racial strife. You see failing businesses,
- 29:52Speaker 4: failing schools, and ultimately fleeing families. That's what's happened to California,
- 29:57Speaker 4: and Californias are going to have to get tired of
- 29:59Speaker 4: that in order to effectuate a change at the ballot box.
- 30:05Speaker 2: Well, Congressman, we really we like you on this program
- 30:08Speaker 2: because you're you're very candid, your fourth right, and you
- 30:11Speaker 2: just come loaded with a lot of common sense and
- 30:14Speaker 2: we need more of that in Washington, d C. Congressman,
- 30:18Speaker 2: good to see you, and thank you for the great
- 30:19Speaker 2: work you're doing for the country.
- 30:21Speaker 4: It's my genuine pleasure, Tom, thank you for having me.
- 30:24Speaker 2: All right, the great Congressman Tom McClintock. Everybody out of California.
- 30:29Speaker 2: And I dislike the way this guy thinks, and I'm
- 30:32Speaker 2: with him. I think the president should have should have
- 30:37Speaker 2: obliterated Iran from day one, and we probably would have
- 30:42Speaker 2: already had this situation wrapped up. But again the big
- 30:46Speaker 2: breaking news coming out of the Middle East, the President
- 30:49Speaker 2: announcing that he is going to seize carg Island and
- 30:53Speaker 2: take over Iran's oil infrastructure. Do you believe that's a
- 30:57Speaker 2: good move? Yes? Or no? Nine oh one two zero

- 32:38Speaker 2: is Freddie. He's from Germany and he's here for I
- 32:41Speaker 2: guess the World Cup is the FIFA World Cup. Yeah,
- 32:46Speaker 2: and they're already. I didn't realize they're playing like matches
- 32:49Speaker 2: in various cities, you know, around the country, just like Chattanooga.
- 32:53Speaker 2: It's Tennessee, for example.
- 32:55Speaker 9: So I literally didn't know any of that. Like you know,
- 32:57Speaker 9: if you go to a city on vacation, like Chattanooga,
- 33:00Speaker 9: you'll see signs that say World Cup played here. Because
- 33:03Speaker 9: I did go to Chattanooga saw that. So but you know,
- 33:06Speaker 9: I don't follow it that well.
- 33:07Speaker 2: So Freddie is from Germany and I guess he's here
- 33:10Speaker 2: with a couple of his buddies and I think they're
- 33:12Speaker 2: probably young guys. So he's documenting his journey here in
- 33:16Speaker 2: America on social media and he had like like nobody
- 33:19Speaker 2: following him. He's got almost four hundred thousand followers now
- 33:22Speaker 2: because he's writing and posting these videos about about his
- 33:28Speaker 2: adventures and he's he went to a Bucki's and it
- 33:34Speaker 2: was one of the most amazing things. They ordered the
- 33:37Speaker 2: brisket and the guys are eating their brisket on on corn,
- 33:43Speaker 2: like stacks of corn meant for deer. So that's where
- 33:46Speaker 2: they're eating their their brisket from BUCkies.
- 33:49Speaker 9: Wow, he's getting the full experience. I didn't. So he's
- 33:52Speaker 9: in the South.
- 33:53Speaker 2: He's in the South. They're in They went down to
- 33:56Speaker 2: Auburn and they went down to Mobile and they were
- 34:00Speaker 2: just going nuts about it. They also went to a
- 34:03Speaker 2: Walmart and they were really but they were really taken
- 34:07Speaker 2: aback by the by the BUCkies. Yeah, and that is
- 34:12Speaker 2: look even for US Americans. I mean, that's a pretty
- 34:14Speaker 2: breathtaking thing.
- 34:15Speaker 9: Some people go there just for vacation, just the BUCkies.
- 34:19Speaker 2: He says, the European mind cannot comprehend this. And what
- 34:23Speaker 2: I think is is so great about all of this
- 34:26Speaker 2: is the response to oh, he's never seen the He
- 34:29Speaker 2: he was in the stadium when the war Eagle came
- 34:32Speaker 2: flying down. Yeah, he was like, there's an eagle flying
- 34:35Speaker 2: around the stadium.
- 34:37Speaker 9: Don't worry, it's normal.
- 34:39Speaker 2: I love it. But here's this is And the guy says,
- 34:42Speaker 2: I love Americans. We were about to walk an hour
- 34:45Speaker 2: to the stadium in the rain to save money on
- 34:47Speaker 2: an uber, but the receptionist at the hotel we were
- 34:50Speaker 2: parked in front of decided to drive us there herself.
- 34:54Speaker 2: That is, that's a Southern thing right there.
- 34:56Speaker 9: Yeah, he did pick the best part of America to
- 34:59Speaker 9: h oh.
- 35:00Speaker 2: But let me tell you you folks wdun in Gainesville, Georgia.
- 35:04Speaker 2: Freddie and his buddies drove through Gainesville and they were
- 35:08Speaker 2: stunned by how beautiful Gainesville, Georgia is. And let me
- 35:14Speaker 2: say something about Gainesville. It really is a beautiful, beautiful town.
- 35:18Speaker 2: But Freddie was talking. They were posting videos of all
- 35:22Speaker 2: of the big houses and they have these huge like
- 35:25Speaker 2: mansions in Gainesville. I don't know what the main street is,
- 35:29Speaker 2: but it's you drive past him as you're trying to
- 35:31Speaker 2: get to Double Dun's beautiful studios. Oh when he also
- 35:34Speaker 2: went to waffle house at one o'clock in the morning,
- 35:38Speaker 2: of course he did. He says, great food, great prices,
- 35:41Speaker 2: friendly staff. Ten out of ten, we will be coming back.
- 35:44Speaker 2: Was there a fight, That's what I want to know.
- 35:47Speaker 9: I'm gonna guess so, because the fight actually enhances my
- 35:50Speaker 9: experience if I go.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Here's what the guy said about you folks in Gainesville, Georgia.
- 35:54Speaker 2: Wdu and he says, just passing through a town called Gainesville,
- 35:57Speaker 2: and this place looks beautiful. The houses are insane. Wow.
- 36:03Speaker 2: They also stopped by the Gainesville Walmart. So anyway, Oh
- 36:08Speaker 2: and he went to Helen, Georgia, which of course looks
- 36:10Speaker 2: like a little German village, and it passed Muster because
- 36:15Speaker 2: the German said, it looks like a little German village.
- 36:18Speaker 2: So how about that. I wonder if he's coming to Memphis,
- 36:21Speaker 2: we should So people are now encouraging it. They're telling Freddy,
- 36:24Speaker 2: all right, here's where here's where you need to go next.
- 36:27Speaker 2: So ladies and gentlemen, you know, Freddy may be listening
- 36:30Speaker 2: to us on w g u N or wherever he's
- 36:32Speaker 2: at now. Maybe down in Passagoula on our pass Gagoula station.
- 36:37Speaker 2: We've got a station outside and outside of mobile that
- 36:39Speaker 2: carries the show. Maybe maybe we should be offering Freddy
- 36:43Speaker 2: and his pals things they need to do on their
- 36:45Speaker 2: American road trip. I want to know if there was
- 36:49Speaker 2: a fight at the Waffel House. He Freddie can't really
- 36:52Speaker 2: give give Waffel House a ten out of ten unless
- 36:54Speaker 2: there's been a fight.
- 36:56Speaker 9: The hare and the weaves, all all of it together.
- 36:59Speaker 2: You gotta have it. Yeah, there's got to be a
- 37:01Speaker 2: chair thrown. Oh yes, they're just hands to Oh no, no, no,
- 37:05Speaker 2: they're moving towards Houston now, So all you folks on
- 37:08Speaker 2: Patriot Talk nine to twenty, we need to know what
- 37:11Speaker 2: does Freddy? What do Freddy and his pals need to
- 37:14Speaker 2: do when they get to Houston, Texas. Wow, that's that's
- 37:18Speaker 2: going to be a long drive too. I thought for
- 37:20Speaker 2: there there. So they're driving, they're gonna make it to
- 37:23Speaker 2: New Orleans. Maybe Miss Janis will put them up. Just
- 37:27Speaker 2: make sure they don't talk about politics. She's a little
- 37:29Speaker 2: sensitive to that these days. Just as. Oh, well, if
- 37:33Speaker 2: they're going to New Orleans, they got to go to
- 37:36Speaker 2: they got to go to Mothers. And you got to
- 37:38Speaker 2: get the roast beef debris po boy down at Mothers.
- 37:42Speaker 2: You definitely got And of course they got to go

- 37:53Speaker 2: store that there's a grocery store around the corner from
- 37:55Speaker 2: Cafe Dumont. Somebody will know this where you got to
- 37:57Speaker 2: get the It's where the original muffelotta is. If you

- 39:24Speaker 2: interesting story from from American greatness, and I want to
- 39:29Speaker 2: share this with you and get your thoughts on it.
- 39:32Speaker 2: New survey fifty five percent of Democrats would prefer living
- 39:37Speaker 2: outside the United States. The poll conducted last month. When
- 39:43Speaker 2: asked if is there any other country on Earth you
- 39:46Speaker 2: would rather live in the United States live in than
- 39:49Speaker 2: the United States today, fifty five percent said yes. This
- 39:52Speaker 2: is an Elon University you gove America to fifty national survey.
- 39:58Speaker 2: They interviewed one thousand and adults. By the way, thirty
- 40:03Speaker 2: eight percent of independence said yeah they would leave the country.
- 40:07Speaker 2: Only ten percent of Republicans. Those would be establishment Republicans.
- 40:11Speaker 2: I'm named Tom Tell US Cassidy out of out of Louisiana.
- 40:19Speaker 2: Jason Husser, as the director of the Elon University poll,
- 40:23Speaker 2: He described a country that remains proud but uneasy as
- 40:28Speaker 2: the anniversary approaches. I'm curious, ladies and gentlemen, are you proud?
- 40:33Speaker 2: Are you proud to be an American citizen? You know,
- 40:36Speaker 2: even during the Democrat rule, I was proud to be
- 40:39Speaker 2: an American. Wasn't proud of what our leaders were doing.
- 40:42Speaker 2: But I love my country, my country right or wrong.
- 40:45Speaker 2: That's what Stephen Decatur once said, right, my country, right
- 40:48Speaker 2: or wrong. When the respondents were asked where they would
- 40:53Speaker 2: choose to live outside the US, Canada topped their wish
- 40:57Speaker 2: list at nineteen percent. What a wusses, followed by the
- 41:02Speaker 2: United Kingdom at nine percent, Japan and Australia, followed by Ireland, Switzerland, Norway,
- 41:08Speaker 2: and Italy as they pronounce it. In Alabama, according to
- 41:14Speaker 2: PJ Media, the same survey found sixty eight percent of
- 41:17Speaker 2: adults said they are proud to be an American only
- 41:19Speaker 2: sixty eight percent Are you proud to be an American?
- 41:22Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen. Ninety five percent of Republicans answered In
- 41:27Speaker 2: the affirmative sixty two percent of independence and only forty
- 41:32Speaker 2: eight percent of Democrats, so an overwhelming majority of Democrats
- 41:38Speaker 2: are not proud to be an American. Another poll conducted
- 41:44Speaker 2: last fall showed a majority of Democrat voters aligned with
- 41:47Speaker 2: socialism over capitalism and supported far left candidates. The survey
- 41:54Speaker 2: found that socialism is largely toxic to Republicans and many independents,
- 42:00Speaker 2: explaining why far left Democrats have had more success in
- 42:03Speaker 2: places like New York City but have struggled in red
- 42:07Speaker 2: and battleground areas. The poll also found that a plurality
- 42:12Speaker 2: of independent voters and Republicans prefer capitalism. American voters are
- 42:20Speaker 2: now leaning away from Democrats as the critical midterms approaching.
- 42:24Speaker 2: CNN poll showing Democrats support sliding. Congressman Jim Jordan are
- 42:30Speaker 2: good buddy from Ohio summarize the battle for the midterms
- 42:34Speaker 2: this way. I think the election comes down to two sentences,
- 42:38Speaker 2: and those sentences are they're crazy, We're not. And it's true.
- 42:44Speaker 2: And look, the congressman also said that Republicans are going
- 42:48Speaker 2: to have to start highlighting that, and he is absolutely right.
- 42:52Speaker 2: And you folks in the state of Maine, you've got
- 42:55Speaker 2: an up close in personal Look at crazy slap crazy.
- 43:00Speaker 2: Your Democrat nominees got a Nazi tattoo and he is
- 43:04Speaker 2: a walking me too, ticking time bomb. Unbelievable, what's happening
- 43:11Speaker 2: up there? But look, it's a great point. And I'm
- 43:14Speaker 2: curious to hear from you. Ladies and gentlemen. Are you
- 43:17Speaker 2: proud to be an American? Nine oh one two six
- 43:20Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one two
- 43:22Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. And look, look here's
- 43:26Speaker 2: a great thing about it. I mean, I see all
- 43:27Speaker 2: these surveys. And if you really don't like America, Delta
- 43:31Speaker 2: is ready when you are. I mean it really is
- 43:33Speaker 2: that simple. Delta is ready when you are. They'll take
- 43:36Speaker 2: you wherever you want to go, one way ticket. Don't
- 43:39Speaker 2: let the door hit you with a good Lord's wats you?
- 43:42Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
- 43:44Speaker 2: is our telephone number? That's nine oh one two six
- 43:48Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. Very disturbing story out of
- 43:54Speaker 2: the state of Washington. A male wrestler accused of sexually
- 43:59Speaker 2: assaulting a teenage female wrestler Callie Keeler in December of
- 44:05Speaker 2: twenty twenty five during a high school girls wrestling tournament.
- 44:09Speaker 2: The event sponsored by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association. It
- 44:15Speaker 2: is a disturbing story because this young man, Well, we're
- 44:19Speaker 2: gonna let you know what We're gonna let her attorney
- 44:22Speaker 2: tell us the story. I want to go right away
- 44:24Speaker 2: to our Patriot mobile news maker line. Kate Anderson is
- 44:27Speaker 2: senior counsel and the director of the Center for Parental
- 44:32Speaker 2: Rights at Alliance Defending Freedom. Kate, good to have you
- 44:35Speaker 2: with us today.
- 44:36Speaker 10: Thanks for having me on the show.
- 44:38Speaker 2: All right, let's break this down and tell us what
- 44:42Speaker 2: happened and why in the world was your client wrestling
- 44:46Speaker 2: a man, a young man.
- 44:48Speaker 10: Well, she didn't know ahead of time that that was
- 44:50Speaker 10: what was going to happen to her. Our client is
- 44:53Speaker 10: a She was a fifteen year old girl at the time.
- 44:55Speaker 10: She'd been wrestling since she was four years old, loves
- 44:58Speaker 10: the sport, and had reached She was one of the
- 45:00Speaker 10: top wrestlers on her girls high school wrestling team. Well,
- 45:04Speaker 10: in a tournament in December, she was matched to wrestle
- 45:07Speaker 10: against a male athlete who was identifying as female and
- 45:11Speaker 10: wrestling in the female category. Her coaches did not tell
- 45:15Speaker 10: her ahead of time. She went onto the mat and
- 45:18Speaker 10: during the match this a male athlete sexually assaulted her.
- 45:22Speaker 10: He engaged in a move that was not an accidental,
- 45:25Speaker 10: normal part of wrestling. It was a sexual assault and
- 45:28Speaker 10: a crime, and she walked off the mat crime. She
- 45:31Speaker 10: allowed him to pin her first, and her coaches saw
- 45:34Speaker 10: all of this and did nothing.
- 45:37Speaker 2: And just to be clear, I understand that this was
- 45:39Speaker 2: what videoed as well, So you guys have evidence of this.
- 45:43Speaker 10: Absolutely. Her mom was videoing her match, just as she
- 45:46Speaker 10: does all of her matches, and you can see in
- 45:48Speaker 10: the video what's happening. Her mom had no idea either
- 45:51Speaker 10: that she was being matched against a male before she
- 45:53Speaker 10: walked onto that mat. She was actually told after the fact.
- 45:57Speaker 10: So this is highlighting the concern about the policies in
- 46:00Speaker 10: Washington and many states. Not only are they letting male
- 46:03Speaker 10: athletes into women's sports, creating a problem with fairness and
- 46:07Speaker 10: equity for women in the sport, but now there's privacy
- 46:10Speaker 10: and safety concerns. And here this girl and her mom
- 46:13Speaker 10: had no idea ahead of time, no opportunity to protect
- 46:16Speaker 10: her ahead of time.
- 46:17Speaker 2: I'm curious. So you guys have filed a lawsuit again
- 46:22Speaker 2: against the state officials there and I want to get
- 46:24Speaker 2: to that in a moment, But what about legally had
- 46:27Speaker 2: where any police reports filed, anything done about that?
- 46:31Speaker 10: Well, it was reported right away by mom to the
- 46:34Speaker 10: school officials, who then waited for months to do anything
- 46:37Speaker 10: about it until the issue really hit the media through
- 46:41Speaker 10: some local coverage of the incident after the girl went
- 46:44Speaker 10: public on what happened to her. That then triggered an
- 46:46Speaker 10: investigation that was referred to police and is under investigation.
- 46:52Speaker 2: So there is some sort of a criminal investigation underway
- 46:55Speaker 2: as well as what's happening with the state officials.
- 46:59Speaker 10: Correct, And we haven't received official notice yet of what
- 47:02Speaker 10: that's going to result in, but we've gone ahead and
- 47:05Speaker 10: filed a federal lawsuit against the state and the coaches
- 47:08Speaker 10: and officials for how they treated this girl. They didn't
- 47:11Speaker 10: tell her, they didn't tell her mom, and then they
- 47:13Speaker 10: didn't protect her afterwards, and even now they refuse to
- 47:17Speaker 10: change policy or to assure her that if she goes
- 47:19Speaker 10: back into wrestling, a sport that she loves, that they
- 47:21Speaker 10: will not match her against.
- 47:23Speaker 4: A boy again.
- 47:23Speaker 2: Have they Have they tried to apologize to your client?
- 47:27Speaker 2: Have they talked to her? Have they tried to make
- 47:28Speaker 2: this right?
- 47:30Speaker 4: No, not at all.
- 47:31Speaker 10: And when we approached the school asking for her to
- 47:34Speaker 10: be allowed to continue wrestling and be assured that this
- 47:37Speaker 10: kind of thing won't happen again, that she won't be
- 47:39Speaker 10: matched against a boy, they said that they cannot guarantee
- 47:42Speaker 10: that if she continues to wrestle, her only recourse is
- 47:44Speaker 10: to figure it out herself and forfeit a match before
- 47:47Speaker 10: she's wrestling a boy again.
- 47:49Speaker 2: It is just shocking, and I'm wondering if this is
- 47:53Speaker 2: some sort of an anomaly. I know in the at
- 47:55Speaker 2: least in track and field, you know, we've seen these
- 47:58Speaker 2: kinds of stories, but nothing to the level of sexual
- 48:01Speaker 2: assault here. But are you guys hearing of other incidents
- 48:05Speaker 2: involving female athletes.
- 48:08Speaker 10: There have been a few around the country where we're
- 48:10Speaker 10: hearing that this is bridging from a fairness issue into
- 48:13Speaker 10: a privacy and safety issue, as you see some of
- 48:16Speaker 10: these athletes in the locker rooms and saying some really
- 48:20Speaker 10: inappropriate things to girls that came out in one of
- 48:23Speaker 10: the cases that was going on on the East Coast.
- 48:26Speaker 10: But this issue is really important on every level. Girls
- 48:30Speaker 10: deserve fair play and equal access to their sports. They
- 48:34Speaker 10: deserve private spaces, and they absolutely should feel safe performing
- 48:38Speaker 10: in the sports that they've worked so hard for, and
- 48:40Speaker 10: yet the state of Washington is refusing to provide any
- 48:43Speaker 10: of that to this girl or any of her teammates.
- 48:46Speaker 2: This is just simply unacceptable. I'm curious, how is how
- 48:50Speaker 2: is your client doing? I can't even imagine what she's
- 48:56Speaker 2: going through. What she's gone.
- 48:57Speaker 10: Through, this is extremely difficult. It's a really difficult thing
- 49:01Speaker 10: to come forward on to talk about. But she has
- 49:05Speaker 10: been really clear that she does not want this to
- 49:07Speaker 10: happen to other girls, and she thinks that people need
- 49:09Speaker 10: to know what occurred, and so she's willing to stand up,
- 49:13Speaker 10: no matter how difficult it is, so that the light
- 49:16Speaker 10: can be shined on this and truth can be told.
- 49:18Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely, Kate, again, we appreciate the great work you're
- 49:22Speaker 2: doing standing up for these young ladies when no one
- 49:26Speaker 2: else will, and it's just appalling that something like this
- 49:30Speaker 2: could have happened. Please keep us updated and we want
- 49:34Speaker 2: to be following this case. Thank you, all right, Kate Anderson,
- 49:38Speaker 2: who is with Allion's Defending Freedom. She is a senior
- 49:41Speaker 2: counsel and director of the Center for Parental Rights at ADF,
- 49:46Speaker 2: and they're certainly doing some terrific work there. All right,
- 49:49Speaker 2: we're going to have to take a quick break here, folks.
- 49:51Speaker 2: Can you believe that though, again, this young girl sexually
- 49:55Speaker 2: assaulted in the middle of a wrestling match and no
- 49:58Speaker 2: one did anything about it. Unbelievable. Nine oh one two
- 50:02Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six is our telephone number.
- 50:06Speaker 2: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 50:10Speaker 2: This is the Ton Sterns show Jellen Tomorrow, disclosure Day.
- 50:28Speaker 2: We're gonna find out if the alien people are real.
- 50:31Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm sort of not interested in this movie.
- 50:35Speaker 2: Really, So it's I mean, people are already flocking to
- 50:38Speaker 2: the movies. Yeah, and the reviews are not good.
- 50:43Speaker 9: You know, Steven Spielberg, he's proven himself to be a
- 50:46Speaker 9: pretty good filmmaker. But you know, this is making He's
- 50:50Speaker 9: making it seem like this is an actual this is
- 50:52Speaker 9: a real documentary movie, Spielberg.
- 50:54Speaker 2: And here's where Spielberg lost me. He was taking He says, Okay,
- 50:58Speaker 2: if you if you, first of all, are any of
- 51:01Speaker 2: you going to church? Are any of you going to
- 51:03Speaker 2: see the movie? If so, I want to hear from you.
- 51:06Speaker 2: But Spielberg, his whole thing is, well, if you're a
- 51:10Speaker 2: Christian and you go to see this movie, You're going
- 51:12Speaker 2: to be questioning your faith in God.
- 51:14Speaker 9: Yeah. I don't like that, Like, why why are you
- 51:17Speaker 9: trying to do that?
- 51:18Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 51:18Speaker 9: Could you just make a good movie.
- 51:20Speaker 2: I don't think that's the plan. I don't think that's
- 51:23Speaker 2: the plan. I think this is As a matter of fact,
- 51:26Speaker 2: there's one British guy who's a well known he's a
- 51:29Speaker 2: well known not a theologian, but he's an academic. He
- 51:33Speaker 2: thinks this whole thing is some sort of great, big psyop.
- 51:37Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I wouldn't be surprised.
- 51:39Speaker 2: I mean, so it's so there's that.
- 51:43Speaker 9: I've heard rumblings of, like it being demonic and like
- 51:46Speaker 9: all this other stuff. I don't see why you should
- 51:49Speaker 9: go see this movie.
- 51:50Speaker 2: Really, a lot of people are wondering what the point
- 51:55Speaker 2: of it all was, and so the reviews are like, eh,
- 51:58Speaker 2: they say, anyone praise it to the skies and calling
- 52:01Speaker 2: it Spielberg's best. Totally out of their minds right now,
- 52:05Speaker 2: that's what they're saying. But anyways, Spielberg says about Christians,
- 52:11Speaker 2: he says Aliens will have Christians and people of a
- 52:14Speaker 2: second guessing their own religion. Spielberg says the movie will
- 52:18Speaker 2: take the position of the church. Is God our God
- 52:22Speaker 2: only on this planet or is God a god for
- 52:25Speaker 2: every system where there's civilization. That would mess up a
- 52:29Speaker 2: lot of people. Really, is that true?
- 52:33Speaker 9: I don't think that would mess up a lot of people.
- 52:35Speaker 9: I mean, we believe that God created everything, so I
- 52:38Speaker 9: don't think it would mess me up at all.
- 52:40Speaker 2: So I decided to go over to you know, we're
- 52:42Speaker 2: sponsors and partners with our good baddy, doctor Michael Usaf
- 52:45Speaker 2: who's one of the brilliant minds, one of those brilliant
- 52:47Speaker 2: minds I know. And they have this great thing called
- 52:50Speaker 2: My Faith Assistant. You know, we've been talking about it
- 52:52Speaker 2: right my Faith Assistant dot com and it's free of charge.
- 52:56Speaker 2: You could go on the website, you don't have to
- 52:58Speaker 2: sign up, and you can type in any question and
- 53:00Speaker 2: it will not only answer your question and give you
- 53:02Speaker 2: a theological answer, it will provide you Bible verses to
- 53:06Speaker 2: actually talk about all this. So right before the break, Dylan,
- 53:09Speaker 2: I just asked my Faith Assistant dot com, what does
- 53:12Speaker 2: the Bible say about space, aliens and life on other planets?
- 53:16Speaker 2: And here's the answer. Scripture does not directly address extraterrestrial
- 53:21Speaker 2: life or space aliens. The Bible's focus is on God's
- 53:24Speaker 2: relationship with humanity and is redemptive plan through Christ, not
- 53:28Speaker 2: on speculative questions about life elsewhere in the combs cosmos.
- 53:33Speaker 2: But he goes on to provide multiple Bible verses that
- 53:38Speaker 2: that might help us, and says, as believers, we can
- 53:41Speaker 2: acknowledge the vastness of God's creation with wonder while remaining
- 53:45Speaker 2: focused on what scripture reveals God's love, Christ redemption, and
- 53:49Speaker 2: are calling to follow him. Speculation about alien life, while
- 53:54Speaker 2: intellectually interesting, is not a matter of biblical doctrine or
- 53:58Speaker 2: spiritual consequence. And you know what doctor Robert Jeffers said
- 54:01Speaker 2: on our show What Is a couple of weeks back.
- 54:04Speaker 2: He said, you know, the Bible says God created the
- 54:06Speaker 2: heavens plural, So I mean that certainly, I guess I
- 54:10Speaker 2: could leave it open. A lot of folks are wondering
- 54:13Speaker 2: if the the videos of the aliens that are in
- 54:17Speaker 2: the movie are actual. They say they're so realistic it
- 54:21Speaker 2: looks like they're from government files.
- 54:26Speaker 9: I mean, you know, if he did that, that's I mean,
- 54:29Speaker 9: you know, you beat the government to it. I guess.
- 54:31Speaker 2: But Spielberg, here's his take. His take is that they're
- 54:34Speaker 2: not aliens, but their future their future US. Oh so,
- 54:39Speaker 2: so Earthlings are coming back. They're using space time travel, yeah,
- 54:44Speaker 2: to come back.
- 54:45Speaker 9: Interesting.
- 54:47Speaker 2: It's the deer scene that creeps me out.
- 54:50Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean that in the trailer. I mean, it
- 54:52Speaker 9: makes it seem like a horror movie.
- 54:56Speaker 2: It does, no, it does. It's well, you've got some
- 54:59Speaker 2: weather for caster from Kansas City and she starts like
- 55:04Speaker 2: like in the middle of the forecast.
- 55:05Speaker 9: I mean, the cast is a pretty all star. But
- 55:08Speaker 9: you know Emily Blunt, the guy that did the priest
- 55:13Speaker 9: in the one movie.
- 55:14Speaker 2: Oh, that reminds me. So there's a Nashville priest. Hold on,
- 55:18Speaker 2: now that you brought that up, I've got it. I've
- 55:19Speaker 2: almost forgot about this. There's a Nashville priest who is
- 55:23Speaker 2: warning Christians not to go to see the movie. Yeah,
- 55:29Speaker 2: says it could be like demonic. I mean that's what
- 55:32Speaker 2: he thinks it is.
- 55:34Speaker 9: You know, I don't really mess around with that around
- 55:36Speaker 9: with that stuff. I mean, you know, I don't even
- 55:37Speaker 9: go see movies like Paranormal Activity. I just don't really
- 55:40Speaker 9: mess around with it because you know, I do believe
- 55:43Speaker 9: in demons. I mean I believe demons are real and
- 55:45Speaker 9: people can you know, try to pick that moviees so.
- 55:47Speaker 2: Here it is. Father Dan Rehill, He's from Nashville, issued
- 55:52Speaker 2: a warning. According to him, the film could serve as
- 55:55Speaker 2: a conduit for demons and spread malevolent influences. What I mean,
- 56:03Speaker 2: it's possible. And I'm with you. I've never liked the
- 56:06Speaker 2: horror movies because you just never know, like the Ouiji board, right,
- 56:09Speaker 2: you don't know what you're unleashing.
- 56:11Speaker 9: Seriously, like, I don't mess around with that.
- 56:15Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't think Christians should either. But I
- 56:17Speaker 2: think that's interesting that this Catholic priest is out there saying, hey, look,
- 56:22Speaker 2: you better be careful because you could be opening yourself
- 56:26Speaker 2: up to some sort of a demonic influence here. You know.
- 56:29Speaker 2: It's an interesting thought. And again I don't know, with
- 56:32Speaker 2: the government and all the you know, all the government
- 56:35Speaker 2: UFO files and all that stuff coming out, I've speculated,
- 56:39Speaker 2: does it really have something to do with just promoting
- 56:42Speaker 2: a movie? Are they pulling trying to pull a fast
- 56:44Speaker 2: one over on us here? What's really what's really going on?
- 56:48Speaker 2: That's what I want to know. Anyway, The father Rehill
- 56:53Speaker 2: says there could be a curse over the Disclosure Day
- 56:55Speaker 2: movie for all who watch it, it could have demons provoke
- 56:59Speaker 2: them or democrats nine oh one two six to zero
- 57:04Speaker 2: five nine two six, What say you, America? All right,

- 58:13Speaker 2: Hope you're doing well today.
- 58:16Speaker 11: God, I'm doing well. I am on the campaign trail
- 58:19Speaker 11: in Tennessee. You know, Tennessee redrew its congressional districts, and
- 58:24Speaker 11: I am on the campaign trail in the campaign car.
- 58:27Speaker 11: I apologize for my background to those watching online, but
- 58:32Speaker 11: you know, campaigning is not necessarily glorious life, a luxurious life,
- 58:37Speaker 11: as you know Todd from working on the presidential I
- 58:40Speaker 11: believe presspool at one point for that campaign years ago.
- 58:43Speaker 11: But we are burning up the rubber on the highway
- 58:47Speaker 11: and having a great time.
- 58:48Speaker 2: Well, good, No, it is a it is a yeah.
- 58:51Speaker 2: You don't get much sleep or downtime when you're out
- 58:53Speaker 2: on the campaign trail. And I've done that for many, many,
- 58:57Speaker 2: many years. So glad I am not doing it anymore. Luke,
- 59:01Speaker 2: there is a there's an interesting story, and I want
- 59:05Speaker 2: to share it with you. It's happening in Memphis, of
- 59:07Speaker 2: all places. There's a raging controversy over the Triple A Ballpark,
- 59:13Speaker 2: the Memphis Redbirds. Of the Red Birds are the what
- 59:16Speaker 2: Triple A affiliate of the Dylan helped me out here.
- 59:20Speaker 2: Saint Louis Cardinals, Yes, all right, and they've been around
- 59:23Speaker 2: for a long time, and quite frankly, the ballpark is beautiful.
- 59:27Speaker 2: It's in downtown sort of caddy corner to the Peabody Hotel,
- 59:32Speaker 2: and it has been in dire need of renovations and work,
- 59:36Speaker 2: and of course that falls to the Democrat controlled Memphis
- 59:40Speaker 2: City Council, and there's they're needing some pretty immediate upgrades
- 59:46Speaker 2: to the ballpark, and unfortunately, the city council says, well,
- 59:51Speaker 2: we're we have concerns and we're not ready to give
- 59:56Speaker 2: you guys any money. We're not even sure if we're
- 59:58Speaker 2: going to give you money to repair the ball park.
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: And one of the I gute one a council member,
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: I don't know if he's a Republican our Democrat. A councilman, Carlisle,
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: suggested that nobody really wants to go watch baseball games
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: anymore and that more people would be interested in pickleball.
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: And I'm wondering, is this true our people? I mean,
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: we're talking about America's great pastime? Are we?
- 1:00:23Speaker 9: Are we?
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: Is it now being replaced by pickleball?
- 1:00:27Speaker 11: Tell that to a family and one of Memphis suburbs
- 1:00:30Speaker 11: that enjoys taking the kids out to a ballgame downtown.
- 1:00:34Speaker 11: They make a night of it. They'll go get the
- 1:00:35Speaker 11: world famous Rendezvous barbecue ribs downtown and then walk over
- 1:00:39Speaker 11: to the ball field. I can tell you I think
- 1:00:42Speaker 11: those statements were a little bit out of touch. Certainly.
- 1:00:45Speaker 11: I don't think you're going to bring your family, a
- 1:00:47Speaker 11: four family of five downtown to play pickleball when you
- 1:00:52Speaker 11: want to go see a ball game and eat a
- 1:00:53Speaker 11: hot dog and have a coke and have one of
- 1:00:55Speaker 11: those ice cream soft serve ice creams in the little
- 1:00:58Speaker 11: baseball hat. That was all my favorite growing up. But no,
- 1:01:02Speaker 11: you know, it seems a little bit out of touch.
- 1:01:04Speaker 11: And you know, I'm somewhat I'm pretty against corporate welfare.
- 1:01:08Speaker 11: I don't want to give money the companies to move,
- 1:01:10Speaker 11: and I don't want to offer incentives and appropriately. But
- 1:01:14Speaker 11: but in this instance, it is an all American pastime baseball,
- 1:01:19Speaker 11: and it is a it is a cultural thing for America.
- 1:01:22Speaker 11: It is an important piece of American history and American culture.
- 1:01:26Speaker 11: And this is probably the appropriate time to say, Look,
- 1:01:28Speaker 11: they weren't asking for that much money in comparison to
- 1:01:31Speaker 11: other items in the Memphis City budget. And so in
- 1:01:34Speaker 11: my mind, why don't we invest in the things that
- 1:01:37Speaker 11: Americans really care about and something that is historical to
- 1:01:40Speaker 11: our country. I know we're giving a lot of money
- 1:01:43Speaker 11: away to other really ridiculous things, but to me, that
- 1:01:46Speaker 11: was a very out of touch statement.
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: You know, going back to the issue, which is being
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: downtown where you know crime is still considerably high. It's
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: something that folks up River and Saint Louis are dealing
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: with on a much more serious and significant level because
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: they have huge businesses. Just you're packing up and leaving
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: the downtown area. But it just seems to me, if
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: you are the city and you own the ballpark and
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: your job is to keep up and make sure that
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: everything is up today in the ballpark, then you need
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: to be doing that. Otherwise Memphis could very well lose
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: a very popular and yet granted, I think attendance is down,
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: but I think that's because of crime. But I suspect
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: that you're going to have people that you're going to
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: have this baseball team pack up and go somewhere else.
- 1:02:38Speaker 11: Look, Todd, I totally agree with you, And this is
- 1:02:41Speaker 11: really analogous to what President Trump has done in our
- 1:02:45Speaker 11: nation's capital and cleaning up our nation's parks. If you
- 1:02:48Speaker 11: have a park that is cared for by the government,
- 1:02:52Speaker 11: if you have something that the government has built, whether
- 1:02:55Speaker 11: it is a baseball stadium, whether it is an amphitheater,
- 1:03:00Speaker 11: whether it is something else, you need to take care
- 1:03:03Speaker 11: of it. And what happens so often in Memphis and
- 1:03:05Speaker 11: in other cities is these Democrat mayors. They'll build something
- 1:03:10Speaker 11: and then they stop taking care of it, or they
- 1:03:11Speaker 11: don't take care of our historical buildings. You know, we
- 1:03:14Speaker 11: used to build amazing buildings in this country, amazing government
- 1:03:18Speaker 11: buildings that our founders believe brought glory to God. Architecture
- 1:03:22Speaker 11: was an act of worship. Beauty was an act of building.
- 1:03:26Speaker 11: Beautiful buildings was an act of worship. And now you
- 1:03:29Speaker 11: see governments that they can't mow the lawn, they don't
- 1:03:31Speaker 11: pick up the trash. You know, you have legal aliens
- 1:03:34Speaker 11: coming into the parks not taking care of it, homeless
- 1:03:36Speaker 11: people not taking care of it. In July of twenty
- 1:03:38Speaker 11: twenty four, I was in our nation's capital and I
- 1:03:41Speaker 11: had to step over homeless people every single one of
- 1:03:44Speaker 11: the parks. And now you go to the Capitol and
- 1:03:48Speaker 11: it is clean and totally free of tents. And that's
- 1:03:50Speaker 11: how it should be. And all you have to have
- 1:03:52Speaker 11: is somebody like President Trump who says enough is enough.
- 1:03:55Speaker 11: We need to clean it up, and it's up to
- 1:03:56Speaker 11: us to put pressure on our local leaders to do
- 1:03:58Speaker 11: the same.
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: You know, keep thinking about Richmond, Virginia and how they
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: decimated all the beautiful parks and the Confederate memorials and
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: the statues, and the same thing was done here in
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: Memphis where they literally dug up the dead body of
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: a Confederate War general because I guess it gave people
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: acid indigestion when they were having they were having a
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: picnic in the in the park there, and now in
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: the aftermath of all of that, the parks are run down.
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: They replaced one I think it was what one of
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: the parks downtown. They replaced Jefferson Davis so statio with
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: a giant hair pick for at least a time. So
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: again to your point, I think people love beauty and
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: I think people love our history, and it's really sad
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: that people would destroy those kinds of things. Look, I
- 1:04:47Speaker 2: want to pivot real quick though, because we've got to
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: talk politics, and of course, we had four major primaries
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: this week. You had a situation in South Carolina where
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: the most conservative guy did not get the president's nod
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: that was Ralph Norman instead the president and Dorsal lieutenant governor.
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: And then in the state of Maine, the Democrats have
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: fully embraced this pro Nazi pervert up there. Graham Blattner,
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: what do you make of that?
- 1:05:13Speaker 11: Look? I think President Trump cares very much about his record.
- 1:05:18Speaker 11: President Trump cares very much about choosing people who can win,
- 1:05:22Speaker 11: So I do think that there is there are some
- 1:05:24Speaker 11: political calculations there with his pick in South Carolina. Maine
- 1:05:30Speaker 11: is just the classic example that there are no more
- 1:05:33Speaker 11: moderate Democrats left. And if you have some Democrat running
- 1:05:38Speaker 11: sounds kind of moderate, it's a lie. Look at Abigail
- 1:05:41Speaker 11: in Virginia. There are there is no such thing as
- 1:05:45Speaker 11: the moderate Democrat. And the Party of Common Sense is
- 1:05:48Speaker 11: the Republican Party right now. And it seems like the
- 1:05:52Speaker 11: Democrats just don't seem to understand that this radical transgender
- 1:05:56Speaker 11: ideology that they are still pushing is not popular. This
- 1:05:59Speaker 11: the open borders that they are still pushing is not popular,
- 1:06:02Speaker 11: and they're just not getting the memo. And I think
- 1:06:04Speaker 11: it bears well for Susan Collins and May and I
- 1:06:07Speaker 11: think she's going to get re elected.
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it's this is it's a fascinating story. I
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: think Susan Collins is safe. They keep electing her, you know,
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: every six years. Surely the conversations at least in South
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: Carolina where you have Republicans, a super majority of Republicans. Unfortunately,
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: you've got a division there between the establishment and the conservatives.
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: So but I appreciate what you said though about these Democrats,
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: because there are some folks out there. There's a guy
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: that's going to be running against Andy Ogles. We think
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: if Ogles wins his primary, and the guy sounds like
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: pretty much a moderate Republican, and he very well may
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: be Luke symbol, but you can't trust these Democrats because
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: even if he is, he is, he will be ordered
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: to vote lockstep with the Democrats on all these radical policies.
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: You can't trust the Democrats.
- 1:07:04Speaker 11: You are exactly right, and that Andy Ogles race is
- 1:07:07Speaker 11: a very good example of somebody who's acting like a moderate.
- 1:07:11Speaker 11: And we saw this again in Virginia, and I have
- 1:07:14Speaker 11: told Ogles team, I said, tie Chas Moulder the Democrat
- 1:07:18Speaker 11: to Abigail in Virginia, with titanium courts, run commercials, run mailers,
- 1:07:25Speaker 11: tie them together with titanium courts. And say there is
- 1:07:28Speaker 11: no such thing as a moderate Democrat. Looked what happened
- 1:07:32Speaker 11: in Virginia. Their government is left wing and she ran
- 1:07:35Speaker 11: on a moderate platform, and we need to win that race.
- 1:07:40Speaker 11: We need nine Republicans in Congress from the state of Tennessee.
- 1:07:45Speaker 11: The state legislature acted, all the court cases have pretty
- 1:07:48Speaker 11: much been dismissed, were full on pedal to the medal
- 1:07:51Speaker 11: to election day to elect nine Republicans, and that race
- 1:07:54Speaker 11: is very important and we need to get out, get
- 1:07:56Speaker 11: the word out that there is no such thing as
- 1:07:59Speaker 11: a moderate dem.
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: Luke, I know that you're working with our friends State
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: Senator Brent Taylor, who is running for Congress in this
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: new ninth Congressional district, and Charlotte Bergman one of the
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: people also running. She has really a perennial candidate, has
- 1:08:20Speaker 2: run multiple times, at least six times that I know of,
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: and has lost every single one of those races.
- 1:08:28Speaker 11: She is now and not only did she lose, but
- 1:08:31Speaker 11: she did not perform as well as she could have.
- 1:08:34Speaker 11: There were more Republican voters in the district than who
- 1:08:37Speaker 11: voted for her against the Democrat.
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: We have and by the way, just for the sake
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: of full disclosure. We have invited miss Bergman multiple times
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: to come onto the program, and as of yet that
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: has not happened. However, the reason I bring this up,
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: Senator Taylor has been getting dozens and dozens of endorsements
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: from not only around the state of Tennessee, but also
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: within the Republican leadership. Miss Bergman says she only wants
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: one endorsement, and that would be President Trump's. She also
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: is calling out Senator Taylor over his decision about certifying
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: the twenty twenty presidential election results and when he was
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: a member of the County Commission. So it looks like
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: mud is that he was slung.
- 1:09:22Speaker 11: Yeah, well, unfortunately, when you try to throw mud, you
- 1:09:25Speaker 11: got to make sure it's accurate. He was not on
- 1:09:26Speaker 11: the County Commission. Then that and the certifying of the
- 1:09:33Speaker 11: election results happens in the Senate and in the House,
- 1:09:37Speaker 11: the United States Senate and the United States House, and
- 1:09:41Speaker 11: he was a member of neither. But of course, you know,
- 1:09:44Speaker 11: there a little mud gets thrown at the front runner
- 1:09:47Speaker 11: of these races. And again, full disclosure, I am helping
- 1:09:51Speaker 11: Sendor Taylor get elected because he's the best one for
- 1:09:54Speaker 11: the job, and he has endorsements from Marshall Blackburn, Bill
- 1:09:58Speaker 11: Haggerty just last night, Chair of the House Ways and
- 1:10:02Speaker 11: means going to endorse him. Steve Staliz has endorsed him.
- 1:10:04Speaker 11: Tom Emmer has endorsed him. And so the endorsements are
- 1:10:07Speaker 11: rolling in. And these endorsements don't mean that these folks
- 1:10:11Speaker 11: agree with him on everything, or that he agrees with
- 1:10:13Speaker 11: them on everything, of course not that's ridiculous, But what
- 1:10:16Speaker 11: it does show is that they know that he is
- 1:10:19Speaker 11: a fighter who gets things done. And we have a
- 1:10:21Speaker 11: lot of talkers in Congress right now, we have a
- 1:10:23Speaker 11: lot of talkers in the state legislature right now, but
- 1:10:27Speaker 11: very few get results. And I think what you have
- 1:10:30Speaker 11: seen come out of Memphis with the Memphis Safe Task Force,
- 1:10:33Speaker 11: with when he was the only one for years beating
- 1:10:36Speaker 11: the drum, fighting against the Soros backed da it got
- 1:10:39Speaker 11: the attention of the presidents because he would not back
- 1:10:43Speaker 11: down and he had to push back against Republicans, the
- 1:10:45Speaker 11: business community and others, and he spent a lot of
- 1:10:48Speaker 11: political capital and he got it done. That is why
- 1:10:51Speaker 11: he's receiving so many of those endorsements, and so he's
- 1:10:55Speaker 11: clearly the front runner. The campaign is going very well,
- 1:10:58Speaker 11: it's a fun time out on the page trail, while exhausting,
- 1:11:01Speaker 11: and I think you will see a very good results
- 1:11:04Speaker 11: for him in August.
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: Well, and I think there is one other key, key
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: issue that distinguishes Senator Taylor from miss Bergman, and that's
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: the fact that Senator Taylor has actually won elections. So
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: we'll just leave that there. And again, we certainly extend
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: invitations to lawmakers from all across America because the people
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: that we elect to Congress. It matters to everybody these days.
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: All right, Luke Symbol, appreciate you joining us today and
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: be safe out there on the campaign trail.
- 1:11:35Speaker 11: All right, thanks for having me, Todd.
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: All right, there you have it. In all seriousness, though,
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: can we go back to pickleball and baseball? I mean,
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: would you? Is this true that people are embracing pickleball
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: and rejecting baseball, And especially for you Memphis listeners on KWAM,
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: do you want to lose your triple A ball club?
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: That's nine oh one on two six zero five die
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: two six. Hanging tight. This is the Todd Starr Show.
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: All right, Welcome back, everybody. This is the Tod Stearns
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: Radio show, where so there is a there's now something
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: trending on social media. Where is Freddy Freddy from Germany
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: who is visiting the United States. And one of the
- 1:12:33Speaker 2: things I just love about this story is that it's
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: showing how awesome America is and the fact that America
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: is not. You know, we say America is the most
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: exceptional nation on the planet. But when you have somebody
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: from another country like Germany come over here and they
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: get to see it for themselves and this is the
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: first time they've experience sings like going to a waffle
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: house or going to I guess they went to Wendy's
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: and I wonder what they thought about the square burger patties.
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: But this is really amazing. So he was. Freddy was
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: also in Atlanta and said it was so green. He says,
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: it feels like you're in a forest the whole time. Well,
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: he wasn't in downtown, but we get your point. Freddy
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: said that. Oh he also went to Taco Bell. Oh, Dylan,
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: I would not recommend that.
- 1:13:33Speaker 9: For Yeah, not a road trip. He's dangerous.
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: He's calling it the Holy Land. He had a full
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: spread of food and got the Baja blasts.
- 1:13:44Speaker 9: Oh, yeah, you have to.
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: He said that the spot Taco Bell was one of
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: the main reasons for him to travel to the United States.
- 1:13:53Speaker 9: Wow.
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: He also went to Walmart, which was kind of cool,
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: and he got a cart full of Gatorade, socks, water,
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: and Team USA.
- 1:14:03Speaker 9: Branded merch the essentials.
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: Oh, so here's the deal. We do know what he
- 1:14:10Speaker 2: had to eat at waffle house. He had hash browns.
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: You see, this is People magazine. He had hash browns
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: covered in meat and cheese. No, no, People magazines smothered
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: and covered, smothered and covered. Come on, anyway, he said,
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: they are going to be coming back. He's got to
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: experience a waffle ho there's got to be at least
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: one person in the waffle house with a gun, otherwise
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: it's really not a truly authentic waffle house visit. Oh,
- 1:14:43Speaker 2: he was also very confused. He went to Chattanooga, went
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: to Chili's and got a table full of food and Margherita's.
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: And then that's when he said, I love Americans.
- 1:14:56Speaker 9: We're pretty good at that.
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: We're good people.
- 1:14:59Speaker 9: You know.
- 1:14:59Speaker 2: He picked a gun spot because if he was in
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: the North, he would have been in the middle of
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: the New York Knicks riot.
- 1:15:05Speaker 9: Oh yeah.
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, they said something like sixty almost
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: sixty people got arrested last night.
- 1:15:09Speaker 9: I'm not surprised those Knicks fans are acting insane.
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: They're terrible, horrified.
- 1:15:14Speaker 9: So he like messed up a whole like five guys.
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: And a couple of taxi cabs. What did five guys
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: do to you? You know, throw the book at him,
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: That's what I say. All right, hang tied everybody, hour
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: three in the Big Show coming up, nine oh one
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: two six zero five, nine two six. This is the
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: Todd Stern Show.
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.
- 1:16:04Speaker 12: That's American.
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: Tough starts. All right, Well, the President pretty fired up,
- 1:16:17Speaker 2: and early this morning he said enough is enough, the
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: President announcing on true social that he was going to
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: be taking control of Iran's card Island and also all
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: of the oil and energy infrastructure they're in, Uh, they're
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: in Iran. Now. Just a few moments ago, it's you
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: just folks, it's just insane. So now, just a few
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: moments ago the President came out and apparently we have
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: changed positions again. The President writing based on the fact
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: that discussions with the Islamic Republican of Iraq have been
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved.
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: I have, as President, canceled these scheduled strikes and bombings
- 1:17:08Speaker 2: against Iran. This evening discussions and final points have been
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: in both concept and great detail approved by all parties involved.
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: The naval blockade will remain in full force and effect
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: until the transaction is finalized. And then the President signed
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: his truth social post. Well, I want to bring into
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: the conversation someone who knows a little bit about all
- 1:17:34Speaker 2: of this stuff, our good friend, Brigadier General retired John
- 1:17:38Speaker 2: Tigert Dragon, What do you make of all? I think
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: the American people are just really frustrated and confused right now.
- 1:17:48Speaker 8: God I feel the same way as the American public,
- 1:17:51Speaker 8: and I have to say I'm an eternal optimist, but
- 1:17:54Speaker 8: I am highly skeptical that Iran is actually negotiating finally
- 1:17:59Speaker 8: in good space. You know, the last time that we
- 1:18:01Speaker 8: were on the verge of decisive strikes was nine weeks ago.
- 1:18:05Speaker 8: We entered into this ceasefire that actually never took effect.
- 1:18:08Speaker 8: Number one, because we've seen some strikes, but number two,
- 1:18:11Speaker 8: because Iran never abided by the only condition of that ceasefire,
- 1:18:16Speaker 8: which is fully opening the strait up her moves, no
- 1:18:18Speaker 8: strings attached.
- 1:18:19Speaker 7: And I have a.
- 1:18:19Speaker 8: Really bad feeling now nine weeks into that two weeks
- 1:18:22Speaker 8: cease fire, that they're trying to play us again.
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: So here's my Consernverci. Well, I don't think you can
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: trust the Iranians. And it's not a ceasefire if they're
- 1:18:31Speaker 2: still shooting at you, right, I mean, that's I mean
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: that I'm not a military guy, but that seems to
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: me to be that's not what a ceasefire is.
- 1:18:39Speaker 8: It's not. And I'll tell you every time the ceasefire
- 1:18:42Speaker 8: has been broken in the last nine weeks, and there's
- 1:18:44Speaker 8: been several cycles of this, it was a provocation started
- 1:18:48Speaker 8: by Iran. We responded in a minimalist, proportionate fashion. They
- 1:18:53Speaker 8: struck again, and then essentially we stopped. And each time,
- 1:18:57Speaker 8: I think Todd, they were testing us. They were testing
- 1:19:00Speaker 8: their primary hypothesis, which is that we are eager to
- 1:19:03Speaker 8: make a deal and that we did not want to
- 1:19:06Speaker 8: resume large steel military strikes. And that gave them the
- 1:19:09Speaker 8: initiative and put them in the driver's seat and I'm
- 1:19:11Speaker 8: fearful that we're letting them off.
- 1:19:12Speaker 7: The hook again.
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: So we had Congressman Tom McClintock on just a little
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: while ago, the congressman out of California, and he's a
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: hard liner. Here. He says that we should never have stopped.
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: We should have gone in, we should have done what
- 1:19:26Speaker 2: needed to be done. He said, we need, we should
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: we should only stop. He said, we should only stop
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: shooting when they surrender, and that's the way we used
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: to fight these wars. What do you think about the
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: congressman's thoughts.
- 1:19:40Speaker 8: To some extent, I agree, now, I don't mind. The
- 1:19:42Speaker 8: first time, nine weeks ago, President Trump had a spence
- 1:19:46Speaker 8: that they were really willing to deal that he entered
- 1:19:50Speaker 8: into ceasefire. But once you enter into a seasfire like that,
- 1:19:54Speaker 8: the moment the other side backslides like they did almost immediately,
- 1:19:58Speaker 8: you've got to hit them hard because once you let
- 1:20:01Speaker 8: them off the hook, then they gained the initiative, which
- 1:20:03Speaker 8: means they are leading. It means that they have control
- 1:20:06Speaker 8: of the situation and you're just following. And to some extent,
- 1:20:09Speaker 8: I'm sad to say, Todd, I think we've been following
- 1:20:12Speaker 8: their lead for the last nine weeks.
- 1:20:13Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm you know, what I see here is I
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: see a lot of disagreement within the administration over what
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: to do with Iran. I think that's what we're looking
- 1:20:22Speaker 2: at here, and I guess the President's getting advice from
- 1:20:26Speaker 2: both sides. I have to imagine.
- 1:20:29Speaker 8: I believe that to be true. And you know, to
- 1:20:31Speaker 8: some extent, looking all the way back at the beginning
- 1:20:33Speaker 8: of this, we actually pulled our punches significantly from the
- 1:20:37Speaker 8: very beginning that we gave them a sanctuary to export oil.
- 1:20:41Speaker 8: Even during the conflict, we never used the full force
- 1:20:45Speaker 8: of the United States military against regime strongholds and internal
- 1:20:49Speaker 8: security hubs. We didn't strike energy facilities or power plants,
- 1:20:53Speaker 8: or transportation or logistics facilities. And I think that let
- 1:20:56Speaker 8: them off the hook as well. And I think right
- 1:20:58Speaker 8: now some of those of that somehow believes that Iron
- 1:21:02Speaker 8: can be trusted to make a good stape deal have
- 1:21:05Speaker 8: gotten into the President's year, and he's giving them get
- 1:21:07Speaker 8: another chance to demonstrate that they're unreliable.
- 1:21:11Speaker 2: Uh, you know the other part of this, you know,
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: earlier today, I mean, we were prepared for I guess
- 1:21:15Speaker 2: armageddon tonight for what you know, whatever that was going
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: to look like. But the President did specifically say, and
- 1:21:22Speaker 2: I want to make sure I'm reading this correctly, he said,
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: at some point in the not too distant future, we
- 1:21:28Speaker 2: will be taking carg Island and other oil infrastructure points.
- 1:21:33Speaker 2: So I guess my question now is okay, is that
- 1:21:36Speaker 2: still going to happen or is that going to be
- 1:21:38Speaker 2: up in the air based on whatever you know negotiations
- 1:21:41Speaker 2: happen Todd.
- 1:21:43Speaker 8: I think now he is backtracking from that. And I
- 1:21:45Speaker 8: actually have been arguing extensively all along that Karg is
- 1:21:50Speaker 8: the lynchpin here. Now I understand taking karg Island adds
- 1:21:54Speaker 8: a lot of risk to the US military. I have
- 1:21:56Speaker 8: been advocating for gradual strikes on the oil infrastructure on
- 1:22:01Speaker 8: carg Island. And here's what I'm thinking, Todd, that you
- 1:22:04Speaker 8: stay to Iran tomorrow, We're going to take out permanently
- 1:22:07Speaker 8: ten percent of carg Island. You'll never be able to
- 1:22:09Speaker 8: get it back. They don't abide by our terms. We strike,
- 1:22:13Speaker 8: we tell them tomorrow we're going to do the same
- 1:22:15Speaker 8: thing and take out another ten percent, and then we
- 1:22:17Speaker 8: eventually take out ninety percent of their ability to fund
- 1:22:21Speaker 8: the regime. That's the way you do it without actually
- 1:22:24Speaker 8: putting much American lives at risk, and unfortunately we never
- 1:22:27Speaker 8: did that. I like the threat, but you have to
- 1:22:29Speaker 8: follow through to maintain credibility.
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I'm with you there. In general, I
- 1:22:34Speaker 2: think we need to explain why this is so important.
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: I mean, this is the primary oil export hub for Iran, Harry,
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: this is Tehran's lifeline. What's happening on that island?
- 1:22:45Speaker 8: That's exactly right. And you know, there's two things. As
- 1:22:47Speaker 8: irrational as we like to imagine the regime as, there's
- 1:22:51Speaker 8: two things that they actually care about. They want to
- 1:22:53Speaker 8: stay in power today and they need the funding to
- 1:22:56Speaker 8: stay in power tomorrow. And by taking Cark Island or
- 1:23:00Speaker 8: destroying Park Island, you essentially strangled the regime and they
- 1:23:04Speaker 8: have no chance to fund their ability to threaten externally
- 1:23:08Speaker 8: or to suppress internally. That's why it's the key, That's
- 1:23:11Speaker 8: why it's linked in. And I wish we would have
- 1:23:13Speaker 8: made a move against it nine weeks ago, and I
- 1:23:16Speaker 8: really wish tonight would have been a big night.
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: John Tiger joining US retired Brigadier general. He was in
- 1:23:22Speaker 2: charge at Andrews Air Force Space, Edward's Air Force Space
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: among others and just a great American patriot, you know. General.
- 1:23:30Speaker 2: This is where I'm just I think the American people
- 1:23:33Speaker 2: are just puzzled here. We were originally going in what
- 1:23:37Speaker 2: to make sure they didn't get the nukes, and then
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: I think it shifted to regime change, which is now
- 1:23:42Speaker 2: off the table, and I just don't think people understand
- 1:23:45Speaker 2: why we are there and what the end of game is.
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: To get everybody back home so that inflation can go
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: down and gas prices can go down and grocery prices
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: can go down. We can get back to normal.
- 1:23:57Speaker 8: Todd, I want to get back to normal. But this
- 1:23:59Speaker 8: regime has been a threat for almost five decades. They
- 1:24:03Speaker 8: kill Americans, they threaten our interest in the region, and
- 1:24:07Speaker 8: being on the verge of having nuclear capability is an
- 1:24:10Speaker 8: existential threat to our interests and to our country. But
- 1:24:14Speaker 8: I also think the only way you solve this problem
- 1:24:17Speaker 8: permanently is going after the regime. And starting at the
- 1:24:21Speaker 8: beginning of this, the Israeli started doing that, and we
- 1:24:24Speaker 8: were focused on operational and tactical targets, and I'm okay
- 1:24:27Speaker 8: with some of that initially to roll back their capabilities
- 1:24:30Speaker 8: to defend themselves and project power, but then you need
- 1:24:33Speaker 8: to use air power in its most effective way, which
- 1:24:36Speaker 8: is striking at the sources of power and the things
- 1:24:39Speaker 8: that they value most. In air War College on day one,
- 1:24:42Speaker 8: you talk about that use of air power as the
- 1:24:45Speaker 8: most effective way, and we never used it, and we
- 1:24:48Speaker 8: need to roll back the regime so that they cannot
- 1:24:51Speaker 8: threaten us again. And I wish we would have stuck
- 1:24:53Speaker 8: with that alongside of the news.
- 1:24:55Speaker 2: I'm curious about that the Israel component here because the
- 1:24:57Speaker 2: President is all frustrated with NETANYAHUU right now, and I
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: guess there's not there if we're going to take what's
- 1:25:04Speaker 2: been made public at face value. The US was caught
- 1:25:07Speaker 2: off guard by some of these Israeli strikes here. At
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: what point or does there ever come a point where
- 1:25:12Speaker 2: the President tells Israel, if you guys keep this up,
- 1:25:15Speaker 2: you're on your own.
- 1:25:17Speaker 8: I think maybe Todd, But here's my belief that a
- 1:25:21Speaker 8: year ago, during the Twelve Day War, we forced Israel
- 1:25:26Speaker 8: to stop though they wanted to keep going, And of course,
- 1:25:29Speaker 8: by entering into this war ninety days ago, we realized
- 1:25:32Speaker 8: to some extent that they were right and we were
- 1:25:34Speaker 8: wrong that needed them to keep going. And I think
- 1:25:37Speaker 8: they know because they live in that dangerous neighborhood that
- 1:25:40Speaker 8: the only things the regime in Iran understands or even
- 1:25:44Speaker 8: respects is strength, capability, will and resolve. Our interests are
- 1:25:49Speaker 8: almost perfectly aligned with Israel's here. We need to take
- 1:25:52Speaker 8: it to the regime and we need to stand alongside
- 1:25:54Speaker 8: of our allies in Israel because they've had the right
- 1:25:55Speaker 8: inclinations all along. And I think to some extent, because
- 1:25:58Speaker 8: we're ten thousand miles away, that we see ourselves in
- 1:26:02Speaker 8: a position of safety when that regime actually threatens us
- 1:26:05Speaker 8: every single day.
- 1:26:06Speaker 2: All right, John Tygert on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line today,

- 1:29:04Speaker 2: your mind today?
- 1:29:05Speaker 13: Good afternoon, Todd. I'm glad that you're doing well and
- 1:29:08Speaker 13: I just adore you well.
- 1:29:09Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 1:29:11Speaker 13: I didn't want to chime in on Iran because you know,
- 1:29:14Speaker 13: I've got other important things, but I would suggest that
- 1:29:17Speaker 13: we turn around and leave and maybe salvage some bit
- 1:29:21Speaker 13: of credibility that the United States might have left. But
- 1:29:23Speaker 13: so the reason for my call, I was more upset
- 1:29:27Speaker 13: in this month of what do we want to call
- 1:29:32Speaker 13: them celebrations the particular, I'm going to get onto you
- 1:29:37Speaker 13: about something you refer to someone and I can't remember
- 1:29:40Speaker 13: who it is, which MSM that you refer to them
- 1:29:42Speaker 13: as PMS and as an x X individual who has
- 1:29:48Speaker 13: suffered from that debilitating disease conditions. I would have to say,
- 1:29:54Speaker 13: you know, in this Pride month, those that want to
- 1:29:58Speaker 13: be XX and want to have those debilitating conditions, evidently
- 1:30:03Speaker 13: they're mentally heal. So I can't imagine some guy that
- 1:30:09Speaker 13: wants to suffer from that type of that type of condition.
- 1:30:13Speaker 13: But I don't know who it is true, but I
- 1:30:15Speaker 13: kind of find it offensive. There's a few things that
- 1:30:18Speaker 13: I disagree with you on, and that one is one
- 1:30:20Speaker 13: of them. But you know, when I do hear you
- 1:30:22Speaker 13: say it, it is kind of funny.
- 1:30:23Speaker 2: Oh you're talking about PMS now the cable news channel.
- 1:30:28Speaker 13: I don't know who you call somebody PMS.
- 1:30:31Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, no, no, it's yeah, it's the actual news
- 1:30:34Speaker 2: cable news channel. And the reason why because you just
- 1:30:36Speaker 2: described the conditions one experiences when suffering from PMS, and
- 1:30:42Speaker 2: that is the same sort of pain and anguish that
- 1:30:45Speaker 2: people suffer when they watch that cable television station PMS.
- 1:30:49Speaker 13: Now, gotcha? Well, I would still think that those you know,
- 1:30:55Speaker 13: in the Pride months. And then also we have June King.
- 1:30:58Speaker 13: I don't know if there's a uh something going on
- 1:31:02Speaker 13: there with that why they've chosen you, But anyways, I
- 1:31:05Speaker 13: just was thinking about that and I thought, you.
- 1:31:07Speaker 6: Know, who in the world would.
- 1:31:09Speaker 13: Want to sign up to have TMS, you know, even
- 1:31:11Speaker 13: as women don't like it.
- 1:31:12Speaker 2: So yeah, at least it's the craziest thing there him
- 1:31:17Speaker 2: in these stories of these men who identify as women,
- 1:31:20Speaker 2: claiming they're suffering from that which there's no way humanly possible.
- 1:31:26Speaker 2: My question would be, let's let's talk about your diet.
- 1:31:29Speaker 2: What you dude, what have you been eating? You know that?
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: Would you know? So? I don't know, but you're right,
- 1:31:34Speaker 2: I mean, these people are not jobs.
- 1:31:37Speaker 13: Well and one last thing, the last person that you
- 1:31:39Speaker 13: had on the general, was he an infant?
- 1:31:44Speaker 6: Was he elicit at too?
- 1:31:45Speaker 13: He sounds so young though he's a retired general.
- 1:31:48Speaker 2: He is a retired general. Look, and he's got kids.
- 1:31:51Speaker 2: So one of his daughters, Uh, they've got three kids.
- 1:31:54Speaker 2: The oldest daughter I think is at the Air Force Academy.
- 1:31:58Speaker 4: Uh.
- 1:31:58Speaker 2: I think I think all of his kids are serving
- 1:32:01Speaker 2: in the Armed forces. And just and his wife happens
- 1:32:05Speaker 2: to be one of the most brilliant scientists working at Annapolis.
- 1:32:08Speaker 2: He's a professor of I believe chemistry. So just an
- 1:32:11Speaker 2: amazing Christian family.
- 1:32:14Speaker 8: Well, he sounded very very young.
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: He does. He does sound young, but he's he's old.
- 1:32:20Speaker 2: I'll just not really. I think he's in his I
- 1:32:23Speaker 2: think he and I may be close to the same age.
- 1:32:25Speaker 2: But yeah, he's in his probably late forties, early fifties.
- 1:32:29Speaker 13: Well, thank you for letting me voice my opinion.
- 1:32:32Speaker 2: Well absolutely, Lisa, Look this is what we're here for.
- 1:32:36Speaker 2: So all right, Lisa, God bless you, and let's go
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: to John in Dawsonville. Georgia wun John, what do you
- 1:32:44Speaker 2: think about the president's decision here the flip flop?
- 1:32:48Speaker 14: God to your friend Johnson Dawsonville. Hello, John, I just
- 1:32:55Speaker 14: wanted to say I've been a staunch Trump supporter that's
- 1:33:01Speaker 14: twenty sixteen, but I just here lately with all this
- 1:33:06Speaker 14: ourrant stuff. I don't know what's going on with him.
- 1:33:11Speaker 14: He needs to he's lost his cajones or something. He
- 1:33:15Speaker 14: needs to go over there and do like the Fregerdair
- 1:33:19Speaker 14: general was talking about, we shouldn't ever stop, you know,
- 1:33:23Speaker 14: whenever they whenever they went back on that ceasefire, he
- 1:33:28Speaker 14: sort of just bond them into oblivion until they just
- 1:33:32Speaker 14: had to surrender. I can't believe. I can't believe he
- 1:33:37Speaker 14: would that he believes if they signed some treaty that
- 1:33:42Speaker 14: they're going to stick to it. Everybody knows they're not
- 1:33:44Speaker 14: going to. I mean, anybody knows that. I mean, I
- 1:33:49Speaker 14: can't fall for that.
- 1:33:51Speaker 2: Yeah, John, I hear you. I I'll talk more about
- 1:33:58Speaker 2: this coming up after the break. I've got run. But John,
- 1:34:01Speaker 2: I'm agreeing with you on this, and it is a
- 1:34:04Speaker 2: it's a dangerous thing the president is doing here. We're
- 1:34:07Speaker 2: going to take your calls as well. Nine oh one
- 1:34:09Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six. John says President
- 1:34:12Speaker 2: might have lost his Cojones, what's say you? America? Will
- 1:34:16Speaker 2: be right bank? All right, Welcome back, everybody. This is
- 1:34:32Speaker 2: the Ton Stearns Radio Show. And again the breaking news.
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: Just a few moments ago. President Trump now backing down again.
- 1:34:41Speaker 2: The President had earlier today said it was going to
- 1:34:44Speaker 2: be pretty much armageddon in Iran. The President also announced
- 1:34:48Speaker 2: that he would be taking control of carg Island, which,
- 1:34:53Speaker 2: by the way, that's where ninety percent of all of
- 1:34:56Speaker 2: the oil flows in Iran. So if you cut that off,
- 1:35:01Speaker 2: Iran is dead, I mean dead in the water. So,
- 1:35:05Speaker 2: but the President did not say if he's backtracking on
- 1:35:08Speaker 2: that and also his threat to take over all the
- 1:35:12Speaker 2: oil infrastructure in Iran. So that's the very latest and
- 1:35:18Speaker 2: we're curious here, what do you want the president to do?
- 1:35:21Speaker 2: Is it time to call it a day. Is it
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: time to go in and just regime change Iran? What
- 1:35:27Speaker 2: do you want the president to do here? Nine oh
- 1:35:29Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six our number,
- 1:35:33Speaker 2: that's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 1:35:36Speaker 2: I want to go to the Patriot bubble to use
- 1:35:38Speaker 2: maker line our good friend Michael Wilson, the lone star
- 1:35:41Speaker 2: Conservative from Patriot Talk ninet twenty. And we have got
- 1:35:46Speaker 2: a lot going on in Texas, of course, a Republican convention,
- 1:35:50Speaker 2: and Michael, I understand that's where you guys are broadcasting from.
- 1:35:54Speaker 15: Yes, we're broadcasting this afternoon from four to six pm.
- 1:35:57Speaker 15: But we're here right now at our own booth along
- 1:36:00Speaker 15: set are Friends a Gun Owners of America, and the
- 1:36:02Speaker 15: energy is actually very much on fire. I'm very excited.
- 1:36:05Speaker 15: A lot of people don't realize, but the convention is
- 1:36:07Speaker 15: where so many of the decisions get made or what
- 1:36:10Speaker 15: the Republican Party is going to look like here in
- 1:36:11Speaker 15: the state of Texas. And I always say, despite all
- 1:36:13Speaker 15: the problematic leadership and whatever else, the Republican Party in
- 1:36:18Speaker 15: Texas I think is really paving the way for a
- 1:36:20Speaker 15: lot of the Republican parties all across the country.
- 1:36:23Speaker 2: Well, especially with the with the race there for the
- 1:36:27Speaker 2: US Senate with John Cornyn, and I have to imagine
- 1:36:31Speaker 2: there are a lot of other moderates other I mean,
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: your legislature is a little screwy, but you guys going
- 1:36:37Speaker 2: to be getting that straightened out.
- 1:36:39Speaker 15: Yes, And that's a lot of where the Republican Party
- 1:36:41Speaker 15: comes in. You know, this is why we've said for
- 1:36:43Speaker 15: a long time we want to close the primaries. We
- 1:36:45Speaker 15: know we've had issues with our open primary system where
- 1:36:47Speaker 15: we have so many people who are certainly going to
- 1:36:50Speaker 15: vote Democrat in the November election, who have voted Democrat
- 1:36:53Speaker 15: in every election for the past twenty years, who are
- 1:36:55Speaker 15: getting to vote in a Republican primary. Hence why you
- 1:36:57Speaker 15: have a lot of the John Cornyns and Dave feeling
- 1:37:00Speaker 15: that you have. And the actual party, the Republican Party
- 1:37:03Speaker 15: here in Texas, has been trying to shut that down.
- 1:37:05Speaker 15: They've been trying to shut everything down in regards to
- 1:37:08Speaker 15: the freedom of association, allowing us to come back and
- 1:37:11Speaker 15: actually have a say and who our representation is from
- 1:37:14Speaker 15: a party position. And I think it's absolutely incredible to
- 1:37:17Speaker 15: see that on display. I'll give you a really big
- 1:37:18Speaker 15: example of this, I may real quick which is that
- 1:37:21Speaker 15: we are right now hotly debating the pro life movement
- 1:37:24Speaker 15: in Texas the party platform. For quite a while now,
- 1:37:27Speaker 15: it's been an abolitionist equal protection movement saying, hey, you
- 1:37:30Speaker 15: actually shouldn't murder your babies, and we should call it murder.
- 1:37:33Speaker 15: And we have a fight right now on the internals
- 1:37:35Speaker 15: of the party from people saying, you know what, we
- 1:37:37Speaker 15: actually we want to come in and we want to
- 1:37:39Speaker 15: say no, no, no, we just need more funding for a
- 1:37:41Speaker 15: lot of these help centers. We need more of this
- 1:37:43Speaker 15: no justice. And I'm happy to say that what it
- 1:37:45Speaker 15: looks like right now is the vote is certainly swinging
- 1:37:47Speaker 15: the way of the abolitionist movement to say no, it
- 1:37:49Speaker 15: is murder and we're going to treat it like it is.
- 1:37:52Speaker 2: That is so shocking to hear those words coming out
- 1:37:55Speaker 2: of your mouth, that Republicans would be willing to go
- 1:37:59Speaker 2: soft on a bold and yet when you look at
- 1:38:02Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four Republican Party platform, the language regarding
- 1:38:07Speaker 2: life was in fact watered down. So maybe we shouldn't
- 1:38:10Speaker 2: be surprised that this is happening.
- 1:38:13Speaker 15: I know, and that's why I keep saying, you know,
- 1:38:15Speaker 15: the Republican Party of Texas is so crucial because this
- 1:38:18Speaker 15: fight right here, what we do say, We're not going
- 1:38:20Speaker 15: to back down, We're not going to play softball. We're
- 1:38:21Speaker 15: going to be aggressive and say, hey, justice is justice
- 1:38:23Speaker 15: and murder is murder, regardless of who the person is
- 1:38:26Speaker 15: or if they're in the womb. That's so crucial to
- 1:38:28Speaker 15: leading the National Republican Party and all the other States
- 1:38:30Speaker 15: Republican parties to say, hey, look what Texas is doing.
- 1:38:33Speaker 15: Maybe that can be an example to everybody else.
- 1:38:35Speaker 2: Hey, Michael, we've been talking about this Carmelo Anthony thing
- 1:38:39Speaker 2: for the past couple of days and the I'm just
- 1:38:41Speaker 2: wondering how that is playing there in Texas. And also
- 1:38:45Speaker 2: this really anti white rhetoric that's coming from a lot
- 1:38:48Speaker 2: of people, including Congress Foman Jasmine Crockett.
- 1:38:52Speaker 15: I have not seen jas mcrocket's sad, but I gotta
- 1:38:55Speaker 15: be honest, whatever you say she said, I would automatically
- 1:38:58Speaker 15: believe because I know how crazy Asm Crockett is. The
- 1:39:01Speaker 15: reality is, and we saw this with the Daniel Penny case.
- 1:39:04Speaker 15: We saw it with the George Boyd case, over and
- 1:39:06Speaker 15: over and over again. Regardless of any of the facts.
- 1:39:08Speaker 15: We've been told that we have to adhere to a
- 1:39:10Speaker 15: certain race based narrative even when race plays no part
- 1:39:13Speaker 15: in it. And I said this on my show the
- 1:39:15Speaker 15: other day. I said, if you came out and you
- 1:39:17Speaker 15: only gave the initials of the people in the Carmelo
- 1:39:19Speaker 15: Anthony case, and you said it was KA, and you
- 1:39:21Speaker 15: describe the situation as KA or am Austin Metcalf, you
- 1:39:25Speaker 15: gave those facts out, you would see none of the
- 1:39:27Speaker 15: progressive leftists defending Carblo Anthony like they are today. It
- 1:39:31Speaker 15: is all a race based narrative, which isn't just pro
- 1:39:33Speaker 15: black like they want you to believe that it is.
- 1:39:34Speaker 15: It also is frankly anti white.
- 1:39:37Speaker 2: Well, well it is. And you know, it's it's a
- 1:39:40Speaker 2: tough it's a tough issue to talk about. We're just
- 1:39:42Speaker 2: not afraid to go there, you know, because we need to.
- 1:39:45Speaker 2: And and the fact now that you've got people that
- 1:39:47Speaker 2: are calling for blacks to just randomly go and attack
- 1:39:50Speaker 2: white people for simply being a white person, that's unacceptable.
- 1:39:54Speaker 2: And by the way, that would be national to use
- 1:39:56Speaker 2: if the races had been reversed, absolutely it would be.
- 1:40:00Speaker 15: You have to think back, remember all of the Summer
- 1:40:02Speaker 15: of Love and the fiery but mostly peaceful protests in
- 1:40:04Speaker 15: the wake of the George Floyd debacle. And we were told,
- 1:40:07Speaker 15: even back then, regardless of any of the facts, that
- 1:40:09Speaker 15: we had to believe with absolute immunity a certain narrative.
- 1:40:12Speaker 15: Otherwise we were racist, we were crazy, we were hateful
- 1:40:15Speaker 15: and bigoted, and I'm so sick and tired of it.
- 1:40:18Speaker 15: And I'm so sick and tired. Frankly, I want to
- 1:40:19Speaker 15: be honest. Since I'm here at the Republican Convention, I'm
- 1:40:22Speaker 15: very frustrated with so many of the Republicans who come
- 1:40:25Speaker 15: out and they join the progressives on these things, rather
- 1:40:28Speaker 15: than being willing to say, hey, I know this is
- 1:40:30Speaker 15: going to get me in trouble. I know this is
- 1:40:31Speaker 15: going to get me labeled a racist or whatever terminology
- 1:40:34Speaker 15: they want to throw around. But my job as a
- 1:40:36Speaker 15: radio host and really just as a person is to
- 1:40:38Speaker 15: speak the truth, regardless of what that truth entails.
- 1:40:41Speaker 2: I'm curious. So you guys have a great booth there,
- 1:40:45Speaker 2: all new website you guys have launched. They're a Patriot
- 1:40:47Speaker 2: Talk nine twenty. What's that experience like meeting a lot
- 1:40:50Speaker 2: of your listeners. I have to imagine people are coming
- 1:40:52Speaker 2: by and saying hello, oh.
- 1:40:55Speaker 15: It's so exciting, and you know, I still say I'm
- 1:40:57Speaker 15: relatively new to radio as a young person. It has
- 1:41:00Speaker 15: been so fascinating to see people that I would never
- 1:41:03Speaker 15: know listen to the station Chopin say hey, I listen
- 1:41:05Speaker 15: to your show every morning. Hey, I tune into the station.
- 1:41:08Speaker 15: I live over in this area or this part of town.
- 1:41:10Speaker 15: It's been so exciting to put faces to all of
- 1:41:12Speaker 15: that and realize the biggest part of it, which is
- 1:41:15Speaker 15: that we're having a real quantifiable impact on the greater
- 1:41:18Speaker 15: use in area, on the state of Texas. And all
- 1:41:21Speaker 15: I can hope is that all of that inspiration, hope
- 1:41:23Speaker 15: that people believe in is something that we continue to
- 1:41:25Speaker 15: give each and every day on the station.
- 1:41:26Speaker 2: Michael Wilson, host of the Really the Morning Show There
- 1:41:30Speaker 2: at a lone star Conservative on Patriot Talk nine to twenty. Michael,
- 1:41:34Speaker 2: We've got to talk about this situation in the Middle East,
- 1:41:37Speaker 2: and it's incredibly frustrating, I think to a lot of people,
- 1:41:40Speaker 2: it's in frustrating to me. The President said, that's it,
- 1:41:43Speaker 2: We're done. We're going in Arma, gunn and day, We're
- 1:41:46Speaker 2: taking over carg Island. Not even before lunchtime, he's backing
- 1:41:50Speaker 2: off of it and saying, Okay, we're going to give
- 1:41:52Speaker 2: him another shot. How does this play among the bass?
- 1:41:56Speaker 15: I gotta be honest, this again kind of again shows you,
- 1:41:59Speaker 15: I think a little bit of the difference between the
- 1:42:00Speaker 15: establishment and a lot of the grassroots. I honestly, every
- 1:42:04Speaker 15: person I talk to that's just an individual who has
- 1:42:07Speaker 15: a job, goes to where it comes home, supports their family.
- 1:42:09Speaker 15: Everybody I talk to is kind of fed up with
- 1:42:12Speaker 15: the promise of no new Wars and then getting new Wars.
- 1:42:16Speaker 15: And I understand you can make any justification for almost
- 1:42:18Speaker 15: any decision you make. But I said from the start,
- 1:42:21Speaker 15: I had a lot of my peers who said, hey,
- 1:42:22Speaker 15: it won't go on longer than four weeks, it won't
- 1:42:24Speaker 15: go on longer than five weeks, and if it does,
- 1:42:26Speaker 15: I'll change my mind. Who aren't changing their mind? And
- 1:42:28Speaker 15: I from the beginning said, this is not our business,
- 1:42:30Speaker 15: this is not something we should be involved in. And
- 1:42:32Speaker 15: I'm a little lost now on what result we're even
- 1:42:34Speaker 15: hoping to achieve by continuing doing what we're doing.
- 1:42:38Speaker 2: I yes, I don't get it anyway. I don't think
- 1:42:41Speaker 2: anybody really understand. I don't even think that I don't
- 1:42:43Speaker 2: even think the government knows why we are over there
- 1:42:46Speaker 2: right now, which was originally supposed to be to destroy
- 1:42:49Speaker 2: the nuclear program. And I don't think that's I don't
- 1:42:52Speaker 2: think that's even anywhere close to why we're over there now.
- 1:42:56Speaker 15: No. Now we're getting all these new things about what
- 1:42:58Speaker 15: we have to take over the oil or we need
- 1:42:59Speaker 15: reshie a change, and we're getting the same narrative we've
- 1:43:02Speaker 15: got from the military industrial complex for the past fifty years.
- 1:43:04Speaker 15: And I think people are lost because that was the
- 1:43:06Speaker 15: exact promise that Donald Trump was to stand against. And
- 1:43:09Speaker 15: I'm not trying to come out and be anti Trump
- 1:43:10Speaker 15: or anti Republican, but I do think it's important that
- 1:43:13Speaker 15: we hold our elected leaders accountable and say, hey, this
- 1:43:16Speaker 15: is exactly the thing we didn't want. This is exactly
- 1:43:19Speaker 15: the thing that the Conservatives stand against. You're spending our money,
- 1:43:21Speaker 15: you're spending our time, you're spending our resources, and god forbid,
- 1:43:24Speaker 15: if you start spending our young men and women sending
- 1:43:26Speaker 15: them over there, should things go wrong?
- 1:43:28Speaker 6: All for what?
- 1:43:29Speaker 15: And I think that's a fair question that we have
- 1:43:31Speaker 15: to be asking in order to hold our own government accountable.
- 1:43:34Speaker 2: Michael, how does this play in the midterms? Let's just say,
- 1:43:37Speaker 2: because right now I'm saying this war continues and it
- 1:43:42Speaker 2: may go right up to the midterm elections. I don't
- 1:43:44Speaker 2: and if that happens, inflation's not going down, gas prices
- 1:43:48Speaker 2: will not be going down, and iither we all all
- 1:43:50Speaker 2: those grocery store prices either. How does this play among
- 1:43:54Speaker 2: Republican voters?
- 1:43:56Speaker 15: Yeah, you know, I've said a long time, there's blessings
- 1:43:58Speaker 15: and cursings with anything. One of the blessings of Trump
- 1:44:01Speaker 15: kind of being the Republican Party these days is that
- 1:44:03Speaker 15: he has a lot ofest way, a lot of influence,
- 1:44:05Speaker 15: and has done a lot of good things. One of
- 1:44:07Speaker 15: the curses is that when you see the so called
- 1:44:09Speaker 15: leader of the Republican Party today who's financing these things,
- 1:44:13Speaker 15: funny these things, and fighting for these things, people are
- 1:44:15Speaker 15: going to say, well, then does the Republican Party stand
- 1:44:17Speaker 15: for breaking promises? And if that's the case, do I
- 1:44:19Speaker 15: want to elect Republicans? Am I going to have for
- 1:44:21Speaker 15: the Republican people that are out there listening? Do I
- 1:44:24Speaker 15: have the incentive to even show up in vote? Not
- 1:44:26Speaker 15: that I'm going to change and be Democrats, but do
- 1:44:28Speaker 15: I care enough and trust them enough to even show up,
- 1:44:31Speaker 15: and I hope the answer is still yes, because there
- 1:44:33Speaker 15: are so many good things I've been talking about, the border, immigration,
- 1:44:36Speaker 15: LGBTQ issues, James tallerco You brought him up an excellent
- 1:44:39Speaker 15: example of this. But the reality is that where the
- 1:44:42Speaker 15: Republican Party is heading under Trumpian leadership right now is
- 1:44:46Speaker 15: making it look like a dishonest party, and people are
- 1:44:48Speaker 15: going to stop showing up to support a party that's dishonest,
- 1:44:50Speaker 15: even if they don't like the alternative.
- 1:44:52Speaker 2: It's a great point, all right. Well, Michael Wilson, by
- 1:44:55Speaker 2: the way, as your boss, you know, Matt Valask was
- 1:44:58Speaker 2: the fine owner of Patrio. I hope you're doing time
- 1:45:01Speaker 2: and a half overtime right now?
- 1:45:03Speaker 10: Is that?
- 1:45:03Speaker 2: Is that how that's working?
- 1:45:06Speaker 15: I should probably talk to him about that. I'd earn
- 1:45:07Speaker 15: anything about overtime. I heard. Please just show up.
- 1:45:10Speaker 2: He's at least feeding you. You need an agent here, Michael,
- 1:45:14Speaker 2: That's what That's what I'm getting at. So I'm happy
- 1:45:15Speaker 2: to happy to work at.
- 1:45:16Speaker 15: Deal many.
- 1:45:20Speaker 8: Out here.
- 1:45:20Speaker 2: No, no, no, we'll do that for you. So I did
- 1:45:22Speaker 2: the same thing with Dylan. I worked his contract. Dylan,
- 1:45:25Speaker 2: how's that working out?
- 1:45:27Speaker 9: So far? So good?
- 1:45:28Speaker 2: Yeah? Good, good, answer, good answer, all right. Mike John Hey, hey,
- 1:45:33Speaker 2: I got your back. Michael Wilson out reporting live at
- 1:45:37Speaker 2: the Texas Republican Party convention. All right, Michael, watch your
- 1:45:40Speaker 2: back out there. Be safe.
- 1:45:43Speaker 15: Thank you as well, talking.
- 1:45:44Speaker 2: All right, good guy, good guy. Matt Veleska is a
- 1:45:47Speaker 2: great guy too. All right. Nine oh one two six
- 1:45:50Speaker 2: zero five, nine two six. We're going to take a break.
- 1:45:52Speaker 2: When we come back, opening up the phone lines. Your
- 1:45:55Speaker 2: reaction to President Trump changing his mind, he's giving Iran
- 1:45:59Speaker 2: another chance, will not be bombing Iran tonight. And it's
- 1:46:05Speaker 2: unclear if the President is also backing off of his
- 1:46:08Speaker 2: announcement earlier today that we would be taking over carg Island.
- 1:46:12Speaker 2: Our telephone number. Nine oh one two six zero five,
- 1:46:16Speaker 2: nine two six. This is the Todd Stern Show. All right.
- 1:46:27Speaker 2: Reuters is reporting that somebody etched the words eighty six
- 1:46:33Speaker 2: forty seven, which is slang for kill Trump, assassinate Trump.
- 1:46:37Speaker 2: They etched that in the grass on the National Mall.
- 1:46:42Speaker 2: This is this would be the section of the mall
- 1:46:45Speaker 2: between the Washington Monument and the World War Two Memorial.
- 1:46:50Speaker 2: And there are aerial shots of photographs taken by Reuters
- 1:46:56Speaker 2: and certainly it's very clear somebody went in there and
- 1:47:00Speaker 2: just looks like they use some sort of a round device.
- 1:47:05Speaker 2: The big numbers eighty six, forty seven. We understand US
- 1:47:10Speaker 2: park Police and National Guard members are on the scene,
- 1:47:13Speaker 2: and of course this is all very disturbing with America
- 1:47:15Speaker 2: two fifty. You've got the big state fairs starting up
- 1:47:18Speaker 2: very soon, and of this weekend, you've got the big,
- 1:47:21Speaker 2: big fight night at the White House. So we'll keep
- 1:47:24Speaker 2: you updated on that. Let's go to the phone lines
- 1:47:26Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six Grady, Gainesville, Georgia,
- 1:47:32Speaker 2: W d U N Hi, Grady, what's on your mind?
- 1:47:36Speaker 12: Hey, how we're going?
- 1:47:39Speaker 2: Grady, you're on the air.
- 1:47:41Speaker 12: I just want to say that I stand behind from
- 1:47:44Speaker 12: I just wish you would hurry it if ahead do
- 1:47:47Speaker 12: what he's going to do, because these people have to
- 1:47:51Speaker 12: think of as Americans have to think about it. If
- 1:47:57Speaker 12: Iran had had a bomb in two thousand and one,
- 1:48:01Speaker 12: what would have happened on nine to eleven.
- 1:48:05Speaker 2: Grady, It's a fair question. And look, I was one
- 1:48:08Speaker 2: of the few people in conservative talk radio who stood
- 1:48:11Speaker 2: alongside the President when he said we're going in and
- 1:48:15Speaker 2: I don't believe it to be a new war. I
- 1:48:18Speaker 2: believe it to be a continuation of the war that
- 1:48:20Speaker 2: Aron started in nineteen seventy nine when they stormed our
- 1:48:24Speaker 2: embassy and took our people hostage.
- 1:48:27Speaker 12: I served in eighty eighty two to eighty six, so
- 1:48:33Speaker 12: I know what you're talking about, and I believe that fully.
- 1:48:38Speaker 12: I just wish we would hurry up, go ahead and
- 1:48:39Speaker 12: finish this.
- 1:48:41Speaker 2: Yeah, Grady, I'm with you. I'm tired of all this nonsense.
- 1:48:45Speaker 2: There are no ceasefires with these people. You can't trust, Iran.
- 1:48:49Speaker 2: I just have to believe that there's some people that
- 1:48:51Speaker 2: are incredibly close to the president and I don't want
- 1:48:54Speaker 2: to name names, but very very close to the president
- 1:48:58Speaker 2: who are opposed to the war. And by the way,
- 1:49:01Speaker 2: the Vice president is clearly one of those individuals.
- 1:49:04Speaker 6: Uh.
- 1:49:04Speaker 2: And I think the president is just deeply conflicted because
- 1:49:08Speaker 2: he's getting guidance from a lot of different people, and
- 1:49:13Speaker 2: that guidance is coming from people he trust, and so
- 1:49:15Speaker 2: I think the president needs to trust his gut here
- 1:49:19Speaker 2: and we've got it. It's either let's either fish or
- 1:49:22Speaker 2: cut bait, as we say in Tennessee.
- 1:49:25Speaker 12: I've warned that before.
- 1:49:27Speaker 2: Yes, Sir, I.
- 1:49:29Speaker 12: Think we really need to fish.
- 1:49:32Speaker 2: Agreed. Agreed. That's why I was glad that we were
- 1:49:36Speaker 2: finally going back in. So let's see how this plays out. Grady,
- 1:49:40Speaker 2: thank you for that call. Thank you for serving our
- 1:49:42Speaker 2: nation too. Let's go to O'calla, Florida, Richard WOCA, our
- 1:49:46Speaker 2: great radio station down there. Hi, Richard, what's going on?
- 1:49:50Speaker 16: How do mister Todd appreciate you taking a call? One thing, Todd,
- 1:49:54Speaker 16: I've I've been in Florida for close to thirty years,
- 1:49:57Speaker 16: but born and raised in Tennessee, and I agree with
- 1:49:59Speaker 16: it exactly what you're saying. It's time to finish the job.
- 1:50:03Speaker 16: If he doesn't do it, he's going to regret it
- 1:50:06Speaker 16: for the rest of his life. Them people, there's no negotiating.
- 1:50:09Speaker 16: They hate God, they hate America, they hate Israel. And
- 1:50:12Speaker 16: if I'd already had to thought the same thing your
- 1:50:14Speaker 16: other collar hand. If they get an up weapon, nine
- 1:50:19Speaker 16: eleven is gonna look like a Sunday school pick neck
- 1:50:21Speaker 16: compared to what they're gonna do. They're gonna hit Israel,
- 1:50:23Speaker 16: The're gonna hit America. And Trump needs to take them out.
- 1:50:26Speaker 16: He needs to take that island. He needs to get
- 1:50:29Speaker 16: all the oil and sell it. And bring all that
- 1:50:31Speaker 16: money to America to all the war cost is paid for.
- 1:50:35Speaker 16: He needs to arm them Iranians, do whatever he's got
- 1:50:39Speaker 16: to do. And ever, however, he's got to do it
- 1:50:40Speaker 16: to arm them, and he needs to do a complete
- 1:50:42Speaker 16: regime change. And I feel like that with all my heart.
- 1:50:45Speaker 16: And if he don't, it's going to be he's gonna
- 1:50:47Speaker 16: regret it, and so is the American people.
- 1:50:50Speaker 2: You know, it's a mess right now over there. It
- 1:50:52Speaker 2: doesn't have to be an ass a mess, but we
- 1:50:55Speaker 2: will we will see how it plays out, because who knows.
- 1:50:59Speaker 2: I mean, the President may change his mind between you
- 1:51:02Speaker 2: know now and tonight, so we just don't know. But
- 1:51:05Speaker 2: as it now stands, the President says he is calling
- 1:51:08Speaker 2: off the air strikes against Iran tonight. But Richard, you
- 1:51:12Speaker 2: are correct. If ron ever gets a bomb, they're gonna
- 1:51:15Speaker 2: be they're gonna be using it, and it'll either be
- 1:51:18Speaker 2: Israel or US. I mean, that's that's very simple, that's
- 1:51:21Speaker 2: very clear. Richard got to run. Thank you for the call.

- 1:51:44Speaker 2: Carmelo Anthony verdict. And we'll get into some of that tomorrow.
