Transcript
- 0:10Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 0:15Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.
- 0:18Speaker 2: That's that's.
- 0:22Speaker 3: American. Doud starts, well, yea, you know, I was watching
- 0:33Speaker 3: the aftermath of this luncheon yesterday that President Trump had
- 0:37Speaker 3: with Senate Republicans, and I have a few thoughts about
- 0:41Speaker 3: that as we start off today's program. Hello, everybody, welcome
- 0:44Speaker 3: to the Tom Stearns Radio Program. We're just so honored
- 0:48Speaker 3: that you are hanging out with us today. Three hours
- 0:52Speaker 3: of conservative conversation. Our telephone number nine oh one two
- 0:56Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six. Again that number nine
- 1:00Speaker 3: one two six zero five nine two six. And for
- 1:03Speaker 3: whatever reason, this week, we've had several seminar callers who
- 1:08Speaker 3: have been weighing in and challenging us on a number
- 1:13Speaker 3: of issues. And of course we're always happy to debate
- 1:17Speaker 3: on this program, but many of them have no interest
- 1:21Speaker 3: in debating. They just want to spew they're left wing nonsense.
- 1:25Speaker 3: But I want to get back to this aftermath of
- 1:28Speaker 3: this luncheon. We're getting some inclination that that was just
- 1:32Speaker 3: incredibly ugly. Senator Bill Cassidy at Louisiana screamed, screamed, at
- 1:38Speaker 3: President Trump and apparently became so enraged that he had
- 1:42Speaker 3: to be physically restrained. I was talking to someone who
- 1:47Speaker 3: is in the room and I'm not allowed to share
- 1:50Speaker 3: that the individual's name, but Trump, the President was looking
- 1:54Speaker 3: at John Thune saying basically, what are you? Are you
- 1:57Speaker 3: going to tolerate this? You know the President, the President
- 2:01Speaker 3: gave him the what for yesterday and apparently Cassidy didn't
- 2:05Speaker 3: like it, and he wouldn't even call the president President Trump.
- 2:09Speaker 3: He disrespected our president. We're going to talk to doctor
- 2:13Speaker 3: John Fleming about this. He's running for the US Senate.
- 2:16Speaker 3: He's in a primary battle right now. Doctor Fleming is
- 2:19Speaker 3: actually the true conservative in this race. And I want
- 2:22Speaker 3: to say something very very clear here that we need
- 2:26Speaker 3: people like John Fleming in the Senate because he is
- 2:30Speaker 3: a rock solid conservative and he's not going to pull
- 2:33Speaker 3: a Bill Cassidy on the good people of Louisiana. But
- 2:37Speaker 3: the idea that Cassidy he was out there and I
- 2:39Speaker 3: guess instead of calling him President Trump, he called him
- 2:41Speaker 3: brother brother. I mean, at what point does John Thune
- 2:46Speaker 3: stand up and put a stop to that kind of nonsense.
- 2:49Speaker 3: And that's just flat out disrespecting Bill look, these rhinos
- 2:53Speaker 3: are enraged. And these rhinos like Bill Cassidy. You've got
- 2:57Speaker 3: John Cornyn, You've got Tom Tillis, Whusan MC, or Lisa
- 3:00Speaker 3: Murkowski who's in Collins. There are a few others in
- 3:04Speaker 3: the mix, and they all they all have grievances against
- 3:08Speaker 3: our president. And the fact of the matter is, you've
- 3:11Speaker 3: got fifty three Republicans and you're telling me we can't
- 3:14Speaker 3: get any three. We cannot get anything through the US Senate.
- 3:18Speaker 3: Fifty three Republicans. We have a majority. We've even got JD.
- 3:23Speaker 3: Vance standing by in the event there's a tie. But
- 3:27Speaker 3: the Republicans, it's not that they can't muster the numbers,
- 3:30Speaker 3: because they do have the numbers. It's that they don't
- 3:32Speaker 3: want to. They don't want to. And John Thune, and
- 3:37Speaker 3: to show you how just awful this was, yesterday, John
- 3:41Speaker 3: Thune did not escort President Trump out of the Capitol.
- 3:45Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, John Thune turned his back
- 3:47Speaker 3: on the President and just walked away, walked away. Then
- 3:53Speaker 3: tells you everything you need to know about John Thune.
- 3:55Speaker 3: Now I want to say something about all the rest
- 3:57Speaker 3: of them, and there's some I think Tommy Tubberville, for
- 3:59Speaker 3: exis and Mike Lee come to mind. And I want
- 4:02Speaker 3: to be careful because I don't want to paint with
- 4:04Speaker 3: a broad brush, but I do think this, this bears.
- 4:09Speaker 3: This bears a phone call, and I'm encouraging you this
- 4:13Speaker 3: week to call your senators and you need to find
- 4:17Speaker 3: out a couple of things. Number One, you need to
- 4:19Speaker 3: find out why they have not publicly condemned John Thune
- 4:25Speaker 3: and the rogue Republican senators. Why haven't they done that?
- 4:30Speaker 3: I mean, aside from those two, I mean, you've got
- 4:33Speaker 3: You've got Mike Lee out of Utah, and you've got
- 4:36Speaker 3: Tubberville out of Alabama. Do you know of any other
- 4:39Speaker 3: Republicans that are out there? And there may be some,
- 4:41Speaker 3: So that's why I want to I don't want to
- 4:42Speaker 3: paint with a broad brush here, but there may be
- 4:46Speaker 3: some that are that are out there calling these guys out,
- 4:50Speaker 3: but I don't. I haven't heard from them, and that
- 4:53Speaker 3: is a troubling thing. So you need to be calling
- 4:55Speaker 3: your senators and saying, hey, Number one, why aren't you
- 4:58Speaker 3: calling these guys guys up public at this point? And
- 5:01Speaker 3: the reason why it has to be public is that
- 5:03Speaker 3: John Thune is now taking his opposition to the president public.
- 5:08Speaker 3: Senator Cassidy's taking his opposition to the president public. So
- 5:12Speaker 3: where are all of these other Republicans? Many of them,
- 5:17Speaker 3: many of them are supposed to be Ilow America First Conservatives,
- 5:23Speaker 3: at least they're supposed to be. That's what they've told
- 5:25Speaker 3: us they are. They're not certainly behaving like it. I'm
- 5:32Speaker 3: just telling you something's not right here, and I will
- 5:37Speaker 3: just I don't want to go down this path, but
- 5:40Speaker 3: it does make you wonder if maybe an overwhelming majority
- 5:43Speaker 3: of the Republican Senate stands opposed to Donald Trump here.
- 5:46Speaker 3: Maybe that's what's going on. So anyway, you need to
- 5:50Speaker 3: be calling your senators and you need to be demanding
- 5:52Speaker 3: first of all, that they openly condemn John Thune, and
- 5:56Speaker 3: then you need to find out why they have not
- 5:58Speaker 3: voted to remove John from leadership. Do you think this
- 6:02Speaker 3: guy deserves to be a leader? He's standing in opposition
- 6:05Speaker 3: to the president. By the way, they're about to adjourn
- 6:07Speaker 3: until nearly the end of July. Not even adjourn, No,
- 6:12Speaker 3: they're not. No, they're not going to go into recess.
- 6:15Speaker 3: They're not doing the recess, so Trump won't be able
- 6:17Speaker 3: to make any recess appointments. John Thune is effectively stopping
- 6:21Speaker 3: Donald Trump's agenda. And that's why Trump is so upset.
- 6:24Speaker 3: And I don't blame him one bit, but we need
- 6:27Speaker 3: to start putting every single Republican lawmaker. We need to
- 6:32Speaker 3: We need to put the squeeze on them so they
- 6:35Speaker 3: know they've got to do something. And I'm almost getting
- 6:40Speaker 3: to the point. I'm not quite there yet. Some of
- 6:44Speaker 3: these people don't deserve to be reelected. They really don't.
- 6:50Speaker 3: That's how bad it is. Nine oh one two six
- 6:54Speaker 3: zero five nine two six is our telephone number. That's
- 6:57Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
- 7:02Speaker 3: Curious to hear your thoughts on that. This is an
- 7:05Speaker 3: interesting bit of news from the website End Wokeness. You
- 7:11Speaker 3: folks in Georgia, this is fascinating. White people are becoming
- 7:16Speaker 3: a minority in the state of Georgia for the first time,
- 7:19Speaker 3: according to state population growth from twenty twenty to twenty
- 7:23Speaker 3: twenty five. These are fascinating numbers. Forty percent of the
- 7:28Speaker 3: new residents in Georgia are Hispanic, thirty three percent of
- 7:33Speaker 3: the new residents are African, and twenty percent of the
- 7:37Speaker 3: new residents are Asian. The white population in Georgia fell
- 7:41Speaker 3: by twenty five thousands. Demographers did not expect Georgia to
- 7:47Speaker 3: be majority minority until at least the year twenty sixty.
- 7:51Speaker 3: So what's going on here? Because it's not it's not natural.
- 7:54Speaker 3: This is something that is forced, it's not organic. In
- 7:58Speaker 3: the during the Obama administration, you had a massive influx
- 8:05Speaker 3: of peoples of migrants, illegal and otherwise into places like
- 8:10Speaker 3: Georgia and Tennessee and Texas and Minnesota. And the whole
- 8:18Speaker 3: point was to turn these rock solid red states blue.
- 8:22Speaker 3: So there was a method to their madness here. But
- 8:25Speaker 3: I'm curious, are you guys surprised by these numbers? White's
- 8:30Speaker 3: becoming a minority in the state of Georgia for the
- 8:32Speaker 3: first time in American history. Very interesting. Let's go to
- 8:38Speaker 3: the phones here, Nate and Tallahassee, Florida watching us on
- 8:42Speaker 3: our YouTube channel today. Hi, Nate, what's on your mind?
- 8:47Speaker 4: Hey Todd. Before I say anything, I just want to
- 8:49Speaker 4: say I'm a huge fan of yours and I've been
- 8:51Speaker 4: a conservative since high school and you helped give me
- 8:53Speaker 4: conservative Actually.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Well, thank you very much for that, Nate. I appreciate
- 8:57Speaker 3: those kind words.
- 9:00Speaker 4: You were talking previously about how Senator John fun is
- 9:03Speaker 4: not very conservative in the Senate, and I have an
- 9:06Speaker 4: unpopular opinion among a lot of other Republicans. But I
- 9:09Speaker 4: think I know who would make a very good set
- 9:11Speaker 4: and majority leader he was given a proper chance.
- 9:15Speaker 3: I'm all ears, who would that be?
- 9:18Speaker 4: I honestly think Senator Ted Cruz would make a very
- 9:21Speaker 4: good set of majority leader.
- 9:23Speaker 3: Is Zandra? Why would you say Ted Cruz?
- 9:26Speaker 4: Well, for one thing, he's a constitutional conservative, which and
- 9:29Speaker 4: he's not afraid about saying that. Number two is he
- 9:32Speaker 4: will not compromise with the Democrats a lot of times,
- 9:35Speaker 4: as he's proven before. And even though he was skeptical
- 9:38Speaker 4: of Trump, he's been a very good Trump ally in
- 9:41Speaker 4: the Senate for a while.
- 9:44Speaker 3: Yeah, I look, I think there's there's a pretty good
- 9:46Speaker 3: argument that could be made there. Yeah, I Ted Cruz
- 9:51Speaker 3: would be here. We just need somebody who is going
- 9:53Speaker 3: to move the president's agenda through through the Senate. I
- 9:57Speaker 3: mean that's pretty much what we need. It could be
- 10:00Speaker 3: could be Helen are a lovely booker and call screener,
- 10:04Speaker 3: as long as we got the agenda through the Senate.
- 10:09Speaker 4: Absolutely, And I'm a Floridian, so I got Rich Scott
- 10:12Speaker 4: as my senator right now, and Ashley Moody and I
- 10:15Speaker 4: put Rich Scott or Mike Lee as a personal close second.
- 10:19Speaker 4: But like you said, we need somebody who's not afraid
- 10:21Speaker 4: of the Democrat backlash, and I honestly think Ted Cruz
- 10:24Speaker 4: would be the guy who's proven he's not afraid. I mean,
- 10:27Speaker 4: he went on the liberal organizations debating Bernie Sanders and
- 10:30Speaker 4: he wasn't afraid to do that.
- 10:32Speaker 3: No, it's true, and he is a great, you know,
- 10:35Speaker 3: a debater. You know, there have been a lot of
- 10:37Speaker 3: talk about Trump putting him putting Cruise on the Supreme Court,
- 10:41Speaker 3: you know again, which would be a great move as well.
- 10:44Speaker 3: But I like your idea, Nate. I think that's pretty sharp.
- 10:49Speaker 4: Absolutely. And I've met Ron DeSantis in person as my governor.
- 10:53Speaker 4: I met him just randomly out in Tallahassee, and he's
- 10:56Speaker 4: another good leader who I think could be a future
- 10:58Speaker 4: candidate for the GOP, not only as president, but I
- 11:01Speaker 4: think honestly he should seek the Senate. His term is
- 11:04Speaker 4: limited and he's going to be out in January, but
- 11:07Speaker 4: that might be an option for him to seek a Senate. See,
- 11:10Speaker 4: that's another star.
- 11:11Speaker 3: Leader, you know, I'm curious about Disamus because I really
- 11:13Speaker 3: like the guy, and I mean, he's his policies are
- 11:16Speaker 3: pretty spectacular. But I think there are a lot of
- 11:18Speaker 3: folks in the America First movement that just for some
- 11:21Speaker 3: reason don't like the guy. What's your take on that?
- 11:26Speaker 4: I think, honestly, because he was one of the leading
- 11:29Speaker 4: candidates as a challenger to Trump. And don't get me wrong,
- 11:32Speaker 4: I voted for Trump in every election he's run on.
- 11:35Speaker 4: I'm definitely a constitutional conservative first, and I do like
- 11:38Speaker 4: a lot of what MAGA does. And don't get me wrong,
- 11:41Speaker 4: Like I said, I voted for Trump. It's just DeSantis
- 11:44Speaker 4: had some different opinions and a lot of the mega
- 11:46Speaker 4: diehards it even attacked me for saying, well, Desantas might
- 11:49Speaker 4: be somebody else to consider. It's his opinions are different.
- 11:54Speaker 3: Look, well, it makes sense. It does. And again I
- 11:57Speaker 3: think the Santas. I think we're going to have a
- 11:59Speaker 3: nice bnch come twenty twenty eight. But we just can't
- 12:03Speaker 3: kill each other. That's the big problem on the Republican
- 12:05Speaker 3: side of the island.
- 12:07Speaker 4: Absolutely, and I got friends who are both Democrats and independents,
- 12:11Speaker 4: and we have peaceful talks with each other and we
- 12:13Speaker 4: can agree to disagree. And that's the thing I don't
- 12:16Speaker 4: agree with a lot of major politics. It's always you
- 12:18Speaker 4: got to be on one side or the other, even
- 12:20Speaker 4: ifounding fathers had to compromise with each other on multiple
- 12:23Speaker 4: issues to get the Constitution written.
- 12:26Speaker 3: Fair enough, Nate, it's a great point. All right, look
- 12:29Speaker 3: a great call, Nate. Give us a holler back, and
- 12:32Speaker 3: we appreciate you watching the show on YouTube.
- 12:35Speaker 4: Thank you, Todd. I appreciate it. And I also own
- 12:37Speaker 4: your book, Godless America. It's one of the best books
- 12:40Speaker 4: I've ever read.
- 12:41Speaker 3: Well, you're very kind, Nate. I'm excited to announce, by
- 12:44Speaker 3: the way, that we've got a brand new book coming
- 12:46Speaker 3: out in August. It's called The Golden Age, How Trump
- 12:49Speaker 3: Saved America, and folks got to get yourself a pre
- 12:53Speaker 3: ordered copy of that. You can do that wherever you
- 12:56Speaker 3: buy your books, Amazon, Bargin, Noble Books a million pre
- 13:00Speaker 3: order a copy today, Ladies and gentlemen. All right, we've
- 13:03Speaker 3: got to take a break here. Nine oh one two
- 13:05Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six is our telephone number.
- 13:08Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 13:12Speaker 3: Coming up, Tucker Carlson he is. He's coming after President Trump,
- 13:18Speaker 3: and it is ugly, and it is uh, it's just
- 13:21Speaker 3: nasty and it's incredibly disrespectful. But Donald J. Trump in
- 13:26Speaker 3: the crosshairs of Tucker Carlson. We'll tell you what he said.
- 13:29Speaker 3: Coming up.
- 13:30Speaker 5: Hey, guys, quick, heads up. This is actually a big one.
- 13:33Speaker 5: We're saying goodbye to something that's helped thousands of families
- 13:36Speaker 5: over the years. The Patriot Power Generator, one of the
- 13:39Speaker 5: best selling solar generators of twenty twenty five, is officially
- 13:43Speaker 5: being retired. And the reason they've just released something even better.
- 13:47Speaker 5: It's called the Patriot Power Generator two two zero zero
- 13:51Speaker 5: X and this is their most powerful model yet. It's
- 13:55Speaker 5: built for real life situations, storms, outages, emergencies when you
- 13:59Speaker 5: need power the most. To launch it. They're doing something
- 14:02Speaker 5: pretty crazy right now. You can get five hundred dollars
- 14:05Speaker 5: off the generator. Plus they're including two free solar panels,
- 14:09Speaker 5: so you can double your charging power right out of
- 14:11Speaker 5: the box. They're also throwing in a heavy duty roll
- 14:14Speaker 5: in go kart, an extended three year warranty, and if
- 14:18Speaker 5: you're a senior or a veteran, you can save an
- 14:20Speaker 5: additional two hundred dollars. And here's the part that really
- 14:24Speaker 5: stands out because they offer a payment plan. You can
- 14:27Speaker 5: get started today for just two hundred and ninety nine
- 14:30Speaker 5: dollars and its ships as soon as tomorrow. But this
- 14:34Speaker 5: is a limited launch offer. It's first come, first served,
- 14:37Speaker 5: and these kinds of deals don't stick around, especially with
- 14:40Speaker 5: how unpredictable power outages have been lately. So if you've
- 14:44Speaker 5: ever thought about having backup power for your home, now's
- 14:47Speaker 5: the time to do it. Stay safe, stay prepared, and
- 14:50Speaker 5: don't wait until the lights go out. Go to starnsprepper
- 14:53Speaker 5: dot com right now to take advantage of this limited
- 14:56Speaker 5: time offer.
- 15:08Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 15:09Speaker 3: I don't know what to make of Tucker Carlson. I wish,
- 15:13Speaker 3: I wish I could figure this one out. He's always
- 15:16Speaker 3: been something of a contrarian, I suppose. I mean, you know,
- 15:19Speaker 3: going back to his days on the old CNN Crossfire,
- 15:24Speaker 3: he's sort of been all over the place. And now
- 15:28Speaker 3: I so he did an interview and this is this
- 15:34Speaker 3: is just weird. I know, it's causing a lot of
- 15:36Speaker 3: eggs at around a lot of people. I tell him,
- 15:38Speaker 3: are you were you ever a big Tucker Carlson guy?
- 15:41Speaker 6: When he left Fox. I feel like a lot of
- 15:44Speaker 6: people sort of gravitated to his style of broadcasting. I
- 15:48Speaker 6: mean he did the podcast thing, which a lot of
- 15:50Speaker 6: gen Z people like I never really was on the
- 15:53Speaker 6: train fully. I did catch a few episodes if he
- 15:55Speaker 6: had a big guest on, but never, like I never
- 15:58Speaker 6: fully bought into it.
- 15:59Speaker 3: Yeah. He They thought that, you know, the whole network
- 16:02Speaker 3: was going to collapse once Tucker left. Of course they
- 16:05Speaker 3: said that about Bill O'Reilly, And if the network was
- 16:07Speaker 3: going to collapse, it would have collapsed with with Bill
- 16:09Speaker 3: O'Reilly leaving, which of course it did not. And at first,
- 16:14Speaker 3: I mean everybody was trying to woo Tucker, every conservative
- 16:18Speaker 3: network out there, one of the guy. So anyways, doing
- 16:21Speaker 3: this interview with this podcast, you ever hear this guy?
- 16:23Speaker 3: Jack Neil, host of the Jack Neil Podcast, can't say
- 16:28Speaker 3: he's a young guy. He's a young guy. He hangs
- 16:32Speaker 3: out with the who's the guy that takes the hammer
- 16:34Speaker 3: and chisels' his face or vicular.
- 16:37Speaker 6: Yeah, I can't ever say his name.
- 16:39Speaker 3: Seriously, I don't want to call him to Seaward because
- 16:41Speaker 3: people would miss Yeah, they would take that out of
- 16:45Speaker 3: clav clav. Thank you well, we should have asked Ryan Leonard.
- 16:50Speaker 3: I think they pal around her something.
- 16:51Speaker 6: They're all friends.
- 16:52Speaker 3: Yeah. Anyway, he was on Jack Neil's podcast and was
- 16:57Speaker 3: talking about President Trump and told the call the president
- 17:01Speaker 3: the B word. I mean, this is insanity. Why would
- 17:06Speaker 3: you Why would you do that? So Tucker earlier this
- 17:10Speaker 3: earlier this week announced that it was officially done supporting
- 17:13Speaker 3: the Republican Party. Let's take a list at a cut
- 17:17Speaker 3: for replays.
- 17:18Speaker 7: I would not support the Republican Party. There's no chance
- 17:20Speaker 7: I would support the Republican Party. Not going to support
- 17:22Speaker 7: the Democratic Party. I don't know what I'm gonna do,
- 17:25Speaker 7: but at this point, you know, how could you support
- 17:27Speaker 7: How could I or any American voter support a political
- 17:30Speaker 7: party that's not loyal to the United States, that puts
- 17:33Speaker 7: the interests of a foreign country above those of its
- 17:35Speaker 7: own citizens. Like that's that's you know, it's not possible
- 17:39Speaker 7: to vote for people like that. And I'm not going to.
- 17:41Speaker 7: And I think I voted Republican my entire life. I
- 17:45Speaker 7: worked at Fox News, I've seen an MSNBC. I've been
- 17:49Speaker 7: a consistent defender for thirty five years of the Republican Party.
- 17:53Speaker 7: I mean very consistent defender, but there's no defending this
- 17:57Speaker 7: because it's immoral and it's exactly the opposite of what
- 18:01Speaker 7: a political party in a democracy is charged with doing,
- 18:04Speaker 7: which is representing its own voters, its own citizens, its
- 18:08Speaker 7: own nation, and they're not doing that. So no, I'm out,
- 18:11Speaker 7: and if I'm out, then I think a lot of
- 18:13Speaker 7: other people are out.
- 18:15Speaker 3: All right, do you agree or disagree with with Tucker Carlson.
- 18:18Speaker 3: There we're going to play the longer version of this
- 18:21Speaker 3: interview where he went after President Trump. It's just really
- 18:25Speaker 3: really disgusting. A lot of people are wondering, and I
- 18:29Speaker 3: get this. I get at least once a week, I'll
- 18:31Speaker 3: get three or four emails what's wrong with Tucker? And
- 18:35Speaker 3: I just want to posit this theory and this idea
- 18:38Speaker 3: because I genuinely don't know. Because now he says he
- 18:42Speaker 3: was what never MAGA, So I guess that was all
- 18:46Speaker 3: just what a grift that he was just what pretending.
- 18:51Speaker 3: I'm not sure why you would why you would pretend
- 18:56Speaker 3: when it comes to supporting MAGA or the America First Movement.
- 18:59Speaker 3: He says he was never MAGA, whatever that means. So anyway,
- 19:04Speaker 3: there was a while, but I was in twenty twenty four.
- 19:06Speaker 3: You might remember this, this interview Tucker was doing. This
- 19:09Speaker 3: is when things were getting a little squirrely with Tucker
- 19:12Speaker 3: and Tucker gave an interview and he said that he
- 19:16Speaker 3: had been mauled by a demon like he was asleep
- 19:21Speaker 3: in bed and he was fighting, he was wrestling with
- 19:26Speaker 3: a demon. He said the experience of evil was a
- 19:30Speaker 3: spiritual attack, and he said it was a demon or
- 19:36Speaker 3: something unseen, and he said that it literally left physical
- 19:40Speaker 3: claw marks, like claws, claw marks on his body, and
- 19:46Speaker 3: at the time he said they were still there. So
- 19:49Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, is it possible that this
- 19:53Speaker 3: actually happened and that he has been possessed by something
- 19:56Speaker 3: or has he just had a radical transformation of his worldview?
- 20:02Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 20:11Speaker 1: The Democrats are watching the far left wing, the socialist
- 20:15Speaker 1: wing of their party press on.
- 20:17Speaker 5: Senator Schumer dodged a bit when he was asked about it.
- 20:19Speaker 8: Yesterday about the candidates he lost the race.
- 20:22Speaker 9: It feels like he's going after establishment folks here.
- 20:24Speaker 5: I mean, are you concerned about your own race coming up?
- 20:27Speaker 9: Do you still feel like this is the same party
- 20:29Speaker 9: that you once left?
- 20:30Speaker 2: Did you get two years ago?
- 20:31Speaker 10: We have a great unified party and we're going to
- 20:34Speaker 10: stop Trump.
- 20:35Speaker 6: Are you worried about your political future?
- 20:39Speaker 1: He doesn't like to answer any of those questions.
- 20:42Speaker 4: Don't buy me.
- 20:43Speaker 11: I mean, the Bolsheviks are in charge of his party
- 20:47Speaker 11: and their stone cold crazy. They're living proof that evolution
- 20:53Speaker 11: is a slow process. Listening to them just lowers my
- 20:58Speaker 11: IQ is one of your guests at earlier. It's like
- 21:03Speaker 11: something out of a grad school coffee shop. And I'm
- 21:06Speaker 11: sorry for America, but it'll be the best thing that
- 21:09Speaker 11: happened to my party. I mean, because most Americans are
- 21:13Speaker 11: going to listen to these pencil necks and say, well,
- 21:17Speaker 11: you know, Republicans aren't perfect, but the other side's crazy.
- 21:22Speaker 11: But it's up to Senator Schumer and the other reasonably
- 21:26Speaker 11: mature adults and their party to push back.
- 21:30Speaker 3: All Right. That was Senator John Kennedy on Fox News
- 21:33Speaker 3: talking about what happened in New York City, an issue
- 21:37Speaker 3: that is quite frankly monumental, and it should serve as
- 21:42Speaker 3: a warning to the rest of the nation because I
- 21:45Speaker 3: don't believe this is an anomaly, ladies and gentlemen. I
- 21:48Speaker 3: believe that the rise of and let's get real here,
- 21:51Speaker 3: it's communism. The rise of communism in the United States
- 21:55Speaker 3: is going to continue, and it's not just limited to
- 21:59Speaker 3: big cities like New York. Let's go to our Patriot
- 22:02Speaker 3: mobile newsmaker line. Welcome into the conversation. Seth Baron, member
- 22:06Speaker 3: of the editorial board for The New York Post, also
- 22:09Speaker 3: the author of a terrific book called Weaponized the Left,
- 22:13Speaker 3: Capture and Destruction of America's Sacred Institutions. Seth, good to
- 22:17Speaker 3: have you with us today.
- 22:19Speaker 12: Oh, thanks for having me on Todd. It's always a pleasure.
- 22:21Speaker 3: All right. Well, let's talk about what happened yesterday. I
- 22:24Speaker 3: don't believe yesterday was an anomaly. What say you?
- 22:28Speaker 12: Oh? No, I think this has been in the works
- 22:30Speaker 12: for many years. And see the problem is the mainstream
- 22:34Speaker 12: Democratic Party doesn't stand for anything, and it no longer
- 22:37Speaker 12: even represents the people that it claims to. It only
- 22:41Speaker 12: represents the public sector unions, nonprofit organizations, and some consultants.
- 22:46Speaker 12: They're completely divorced from the base. They just got fat
- 22:49Speaker 12: and lazy. So you get these energetic socialist communist grad
- 22:54Speaker 12: students to come in and organize a few thousand of
- 22:57Speaker 12: their comrades to go and take over the party. I
- 23:00Speaker 12: mean it's astounding. It's very much like what the Bolsheviks did.
- 23:05Speaker 12: A tiny minority party can seize control and it's not
- 23:08Speaker 12: that hard.
- 23:09Speaker 3: Well it's not. And I think again the concern when
- 23:12Speaker 3: you look at the voting demographics, and I think the
- 23:14Speaker 3: New York Post did a pretty terrific breakdown that showed
- 23:19Speaker 3: a majority of the people voting here were in fact
- 23:22Speaker 3: young white kids that were the facto leftist. I suspect
- 23:27Speaker 3: we're going to see more of that around the country
- 23:29Speaker 3: because this is what these kids are learning. I don't
- 23:32Speaker 3: think they're having these conversations around the dinner table. I
- 23:34Speaker 3: think they're learning this nonsense and their taxpayer funded schools.
- 23:39Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 23:39Speaker 12: Absolutely, these are people who are overcredentilled and underemployed. They
- 23:45Speaker 12: grew up with a sense of you know, I guess
- 23:47Speaker 12: you could call it entitlement to you know. So they
- 23:50Speaker 12: had this expectation of luxury communism, like just that everything
- 23:56Speaker 12: should be available to everything that seems nice. They should
- 23:58Speaker 12: be able to have the want four hundred dollars apartments
- 24:01Speaker 12: in a cool neighborhood. They want jobs that aren't very
- 24:04Speaker 12: demanding that will, like, you know, sound impressive, and this
- 24:09Speaker 12: is this is who what the colleges and have created
- 24:12Speaker 12: this this extremely entitled communistic mindset. It's it's really a disaster.
- 24:18Speaker 12: I mean these this woman Daria Liza who got Chevalier?
- 24:21Speaker 12: You got who got elected uptown? She's been a graduate
- 24:25Speaker 12: student for the last seven years and she claims that
- 24:28Speaker 12: she complains that things are too unaffordable. Well, yeah, of
- 24:32Speaker 12: course they're unaffordable if you don't have any money.
- 24:35Speaker 3: It's it's a great point. Yeah, And I'm trying to
- 24:37Speaker 3: figure out why why is it taking your seven years
- 24:41Speaker 3: to get your degree? At some point you need to
- 24:43Speaker 3: just throw your hands up in the air and go
- 24:45Speaker 3: get a job down at your Onlop Women's Gender Studies
- 24:49Speaker 3: bookstore or something in Broklyn.
- 24:53Speaker 12: Listen, I mean I was in grad school. I understand
- 24:56Speaker 12: it can take a long time. But then when I
- 24:58Speaker 12: was in grad school, I didn't complain that that society
- 25:01Speaker 12: was keeping me down by not letting me have enough
- 25:03Speaker 12: money to go visit Dominican Republic three times a year.
- 25:08Speaker 12: It's completely insane. The lunatics have taken control of the asylum,
- 25:14Speaker 12: you know, and I think John Kennedy's right, I mean
- 25:16Speaker 12: Senator Kennedy in that the Democrats. This is the Democrats problem.
- 25:21Speaker 12: They have to deal with this. I can't help them.
- 25:24Speaker 12: I don't really particularly want to help them. They let
- 25:27Speaker 12: this happen.
- 25:28Speaker 3: Well, here's what concerns me. You're right, it's the Democrats problem,
- 25:32Speaker 3: no doubt about that. The fact of the matter is
- 25:36Speaker 3: the only reason. I think one of the chief reasons
- 25:39Speaker 3: they won is that only about seventeen percent of Democrat
- 25:42Speaker 3: voters actually turned out. Registered voters turned out, and you
- 25:46Speaker 3: had a good number of young people showing up. My
- 25:49Speaker 3: concern is we've been watching primary after primary where Republican
- 25:53Speaker 3: vote has been not very good. Republicans seem to be disengaged.
- 26:00Speaker 3: They don't seem to be excited about the elections. And
- 26:02Speaker 3: the concern I would have, and I know that there
- 26:05Speaker 3: are other candidates who share this point of view. They
- 26:10Speaker 3: may not be Democratic socialists, but they certainly share that
- 26:12Speaker 3: point of view. That could end up getting elected as
- 26:15Speaker 3: a result of Republicans just staying home and not voting.
- 26:19Speaker 12: That could easily happen. Look, the Republicans also have the
- 26:23Speaker 12: same problem, which is we need to you know, they
- 26:26Speaker 12: need to formulate a point of view that isn't just negative,
- 26:32Speaker 12: like we're not. Then the Republicans have to get better
- 26:35Speaker 12: at talking about prosperity, raising the standards of living, housing, liberty,
- 26:43Speaker 12: and doing it in an effective, positive way that will
- 26:47Speaker 12: inspire people actually to care and to turn out the
- 26:51Speaker 12: way it is now. You know, I think a lot
- 26:54Speaker 12: of people don't really see that it matters very much
- 26:57Speaker 12: who's in office.
- 26:59Speaker 3: Seth Bhaer and joining us on our Patriot Mobile. Newsmaker Line,
- 27:02Speaker 3: author of a great book called Weaponized, the Leaf's Capture
- 27:06Speaker 3: and Destruction of America's Sacred Institutions, Southern I'm curious about
- 27:10Speaker 3: your book. We've talked, We talked a lot about this
- 27:12Speaker 3: particular issue on this program. What would you say is
- 27:16Speaker 3: was was there one particular moment, one particular story, that
- 27:20Speaker 3: really set you off to write the book.
- 27:24Speaker 12: I would say, uh, looking at the way, looking just
- 27:28Speaker 12: at this, looking at the way in which the far
- 27:30Speaker 12: left in New York had take was working to take
- 27:35Speaker 12: over the Democratic Party and using this centrality of Palestine,
- 27:41Speaker 12: making it all about Palestine, and that this was somehow
- 27:45Speaker 12: the center of all American politics. I mean, it's crazy.
- 27:49Speaker 12: I have a whole section in the book about how
- 27:51Speaker 12: Angela Davis came through the ranks, you know, was hugging
- 27:55Speaker 12: the East. German prime Premiere won the Lenin Prize and
- 28:00Speaker 12: translated this whole vision of Third World revolution to the
- 28:05Speaker 12: American landscape. And so talking about how the NYPD and
- 28:11Speaker 12: the idea for the same thing, or how West Bank
- 28:15Speaker 12: land problems are just what's happening with gentrification in Washington Heights.
- 28:20Speaker 12: This crazy stuff really got me going. And so I
- 28:22Speaker 12: talk a lot about that in the book.
- 28:25Speaker 3: And again, folks, the name of the book, the weaponized
- 28:28Speaker 3: the left campcure and destruction of America's sacred institutions what
- 28:31Speaker 3: saddens me. And I've written a couple of books dealing
- 28:35Speaker 3: with the destruction of the statues and the monuments and
- 28:38Speaker 3: the whitewashing of American history, and it troubles me because
- 28:43Speaker 3: you've got a generation of young people that are growing
- 28:45Speaker 3: up and they're not being taught you about America and
- 28:49Speaker 3: American exceptionalism. And when you talk about sacred institutions, for me,
- 28:53Speaker 3: it's that public school classroom, because that's where teachers are
- 28:57Speaker 3: supposed to fill the minds of these kids with good things.
- 29:02Speaker 3: And I'm afraid that they're churning out little radicals and
- 29:06Speaker 3: that that troubles me absolutely.
- 29:09Speaker 12: The the the American Federation of Teachers, they essentially own
- 29:12Speaker 12: the public schools and in a great many jurisdictions, and
- 29:17Speaker 12: you know, they might not be quite as far out
- 29:19Speaker 12: there as this this chevalier woman, but they're preaching the
- 29:23Speaker 12: same stuff about white supremacy and the racial crimes of
- 29:27Speaker 12: America and how it's impossible for anyone to get ahead,
- 29:32Speaker 12: you know, the death of opportunity. So you know, essentially
- 29:35Speaker 12: they're laying the groundwork for, let for when kids go
- 29:37Speaker 12: to college and learn that America needs to be destroyed,
- 29:41Speaker 12: which is literally what this woman wants and what the
- 29:44Speaker 12: DSA wants. They want to take a dismantle what they
- 29:50Speaker 12: call like colonial structures of colonial oppression, and that includes
- 29:53Speaker 12: melting down the United States.
- 29:55Speaker 3: And seth again, is that that word colonial? Where do
- 29:59Speaker 3: we where do we really start hearing that particular phrase.
- 30:02Speaker 3: It was when Barack Obama was running for the White
- 30:04Speaker 3: House and we started learning about his father and his
- 30:07Speaker 3: anti colonial viewpoints from back in the old country Kenya.
- 30:13Speaker 12: Absolutely, And if you look at Mamdanie, the Mayor of
- 30:15Speaker 12: New York, his father, it's the same thing. He's written
- 30:19Speaker 12: whole books about Uganda and the Indian experience in Uganda,
- 30:23Speaker 12: and how America is this colonialist empire and it's the
- 30:28Speaker 12: same East African revolutionary you know, communist viewpoint. It's really crazy.
- 30:36Speaker 12: I don't understand how this happened, but this is where
- 30:39Speaker 12: we're at.
- 30:41Speaker 3: Well, Seth, we're gonna have to leave it. Their Congratulations
- 30:44Speaker 3: on the book again. It's called Weaponized the Left, Capture
- 30:48Speaker 3: and destruction of America's sacred institutions. Seth Barron from The
- 30:52Speaker 3: New York Post. Congratulations on the book, Seth.

- 32:49Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six is
- 32:52Speaker 3: our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero
- 32:55Speaker 3: five nine two six so this is interesting. Caitlyn Collins
- 33:02Speaker 3: is uh not Caitlyn. Yeah, she's a little dyllan. Who's
- 33:06Speaker 3: the w n B A. Kitlyn Clark k Clark. I
- 33:10Speaker 3: was thinking about eyebrow Lady one. So anyway, Uh, Caitlyn
- 33:15Speaker 3: Clark is catching all sorts of grief again. You know,
- 33:18Speaker 3: they had a big anniversary poster made up Dylan and
- 33:21Speaker 3: she's by far their most popular player, right, I mean
- 33:25Speaker 3: she is. She literally put the w n b A
- 33:27Speaker 3: back on the map, no doubt about that. And they
- 33:30Speaker 3: didn't bother to put her on the poster. You know why?
- 33:35Speaker 6: She's white?
- 33:36Speaker 3: She's white, Yeah, she's she is a what is the
- 33:39Speaker 3: what's the official the honkey? She is a honkey woman,
- 33:44Speaker 3: Saltine American. Thank you. No, she's white and she's straight.
- 33:49Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's the other one too. Yeah, the w
- 33:52Speaker 6: n B A is not.
- 33:52Speaker 3: She's not Lebanese. She is not. So I think we've
- 33:56Speaker 3: got some audio. We have some audio. Let's let's play this.
- 33:59Speaker 8: Were Kaitlyn Clark, I would seriously consider going to play
- 34:02Speaker 8: overseas somewhere and get and get the royal treatment and
- 34:05Speaker 8: get real money from the Saudis from somewhere.
- 34:09Speaker 6: I mean, she can't go to the Saudis.
- 34:11Speaker 8: Well, she can't go to the Russians either, as we
- 34:12Speaker 8: saw that, you know, Britney Griner got stuck there.
- 34:15Speaker 1: She did well, yeah in jail, right, So he can't
- 34:17Speaker 1: take that money from piff.
- 34:19Speaker 8: But a lot of the women, but a lot of
- 34:20Speaker 8: the women actually do play, you know, in European leagues
- 34:23Speaker 8: because they selplement their income. But now supposedly their income
- 34:27Speaker 8: is going up here. And I know that Caitlin makes
- 34:29Speaker 8: a ton of money off the court in terms of endorsements,
- 34:32Speaker 8: and rightfully so, but I think that there's a petty,
- 34:34Speaker 8: petty jealousy and she's a straight white basketball player, and
- 34:41Speaker 8: it's she is not being treated with any sort of
- 34:44Speaker 8: respect whatsoever.
- 34:45Speaker 3: So what is it is the w NBA. This is
- 34:48Speaker 3: how little I care about the w BA. Are they
- 34:51Speaker 3: playing now? Is that? Is this their season?
- 34:54Speaker 6: I am not the guy to ask for that.
- 34:55Speaker 3: So anyway, there's something going around viral and I don't
- 34:58Speaker 3: know if this is a recent thing or this happened
- 35:02Speaker 3: I mean like a year ago. But anyway, the WNBA
- 35:05Speaker 3: now facing mass calls to sanction and find the Phoenix
- 35:09Speaker 3: Mercury after the team the team made a post mocking
- 35:16Speaker 3: what they said were racially motivated attacks against Caitlyn Clark
- 35:20Speaker 3: at the hands of one of their black ball players.
- 35:25Speaker 3: I mean, this is really shocking stuff here. But they
- 35:29Speaker 3: just hate this woman. They hate her because she's a
- 35:33Speaker 3: white woman and she's straight and Dylan, I mean, my
- 35:36Speaker 3: concern for her is that they're literally trying to take
- 35:40Speaker 3: her out of the game.
- 35:43Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, so the video on this particular incident
- 35:47Speaker 6: is not great. I mean, she goes for a ball
- 35:50Speaker 6: and she falls down, and then the player on the other.
- 35:53Speaker 3: Team punched her in the throat.
- 35:55Speaker 6: Punch her, and then she held her fist down on
- 35:57Speaker 6: her throat as well. It's like not even disputable.
- 36:01Speaker 3: I mean, this is I've never seen anything like this.
- 36:03Speaker 3: And so then they post to this racial I mean
- 36:05Speaker 3: quite frankly, they ought to shut down the whole team.
- 36:09Speaker 3: That's what they ought to do.
- 36:10Speaker 6: Nobody gets treated like Kaylin Clark does. It's it's it's
- 36:14Speaker 6: actually crazy like that so many people get away with it.
- 36:17Speaker 6: All these players are getting away with it, not even
- 36:19Speaker 6: off the court.
- 36:21Speaker 3: You know why, it's open season on white people, that's it.
- 36:23Speaker 3: You don't know why people people of her own Uh,
- 36:27Speaker 3: you have a problem talking about this, but and I
- 36:31Speaker 3: don't it's knowing. It's not victimhood. It's just a matter of, Hey,
- 36:35Speaker 3: this woman is being attacked, and she's being attacked because
- 36:38Speaker 3: of the color of her skin and the fact that
- 36:39Speaker 3: she's heterosexual. And I don't know why that's so hard
- 36:44Speaker 3: for people to understand. But I'm with boomerisiasin. I mean,
- 36:47Speaker 3: it may be safer for her to go overseas or
- 36:50Speaker 3: at least she'll be treated like a rock star. And
- 36:54Speaker 3: let's get real here. The w NBA is kind of
- 36:57Speaker 3: like the ghetto of professional sports. They can even pay
- 36:59Speaker 3: their own bill. I don't know they well, they could
- 37:03Speaker 3: once Caitlin Clark came onto the scene because they were
- 37:06Speaker 3: she was packing out arenas. For these folks, oh yeah,
- 37:09Speaker 3: do they still need a hand out from the NBA.
- 37:12Speaker 6: I think that's I think that's still what's happening.
- 37:15Speaker 3: So they're on welfare. So the entire league is on welfare.
- 37:18Speaker 3: So who are these people to be complaining. It just
- 37:21Speaker 3: seems to me that if you've got a player out
- 37:23Speaker 3: there and they're attracting young people and enthusiasm, putting butts
- 37:28Speaker 3: in the seats, that's something that you would want to
- 37:31Speaker 3: celebrate and something that, quite frankly, you would want to protect.
- 37:37Speaker 3: But when you've got black players going out of their
- 37:39Speaker 3: way to try to, you know, take out her knee,
- 37:43Speaker 3: put her on the ground, punch her in the throat,
- 37:45Speaker 3: let me just say this. If this had been a
- 37:50Speaker 3: let's just say that all the races were reversed and
- 37:53Speaker 3: it was a majority white league and you had somebody
- 37:55Speaker 3: doing that to a black player, all hell would be
- 37:58Speaker 3: breaking loose right now. There would be a major American
- 38:02Speaker 3: city burning to the ground. We'll say Minneapolis. Everybody burns
- 38:05Speaker 3: down Minneapolis. Minneapolis. They burned it, They burned it to
- 38:07Speaker 3: the ground. But because Caitlin Clark is a white woman
- 38:11Speaker 3: and she's straight, they say it's okay, it's open season
- 38:14Speaker 3: on the white chicks in the WNBA. Nine oh one
- 38:19Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six hour telephone number.
- 38:22Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 38:26Speaker 3: This is the Todd Stern Ship.
- 38:47Speaker 1: Lie from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 38:51Speaker 1: America's favorite gun, total bible clinging deplorable Americans.
- 39:00Speaker 12: There's a marriage.
- 39:03Speaker 3: Jud start.
- 39:07Speaker 4: Any of you.
- 39:07Speaker 3: Guys that we're going to summer campus as a kid
- 39:11Speaker 3: like your your mom. You know your mom and dad.
- 39:14Speaker 3: They packed you up. You've got your little pup tent
- 39:18Speaker 3: and your sleeping bag and your little transistor radio. If
- 39:23Speaker 3: you're of a certain age and all, if you went
- 39:25Speaker 3: for a week or two to try and survive in
- 39:28Speaker 3: the wilderness and just pray to Almighty God that a
- 39:32Speaker 3: big bear wasn't going to come down and eat you. Hello, everybody,
- 39:35Speaker 3: Welcome to the second hour of the Ton Stearns Radio program.
- 39:38Speaker 3: I'm happy to have you with us today. Don't you
- 39:40Speaker 3: ever do like you know? I mean, I'm from the
- 39:42Speaker 3: Baptist of Faith traditions, so outside of cub Scout camp
- 39:47Speaker 3: and I don't mean to disparage cub Scouts for boy Scouts,
- 39:52Speaker 3: but it just seemed to me all we were were
- 39:54Speaker 3: glorified garbage picker uppers. It's like every weekend we were
- 39:58Speaker 3: picking up trash on the side of the road.
- 40:00Speaker 6: It's a need that that needed to be met.
- 40:02Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was something that I needed not to
- 40:04Speaker 3: do as as a little cub Scout, but or a
- 40:07Speaker 3: wee bowl what did you call it? Wee bole? We
- 40:09Speaker 3: below's weebele's wobble, we belows.
- 40:11Speaker 6: We had We had like a cub scout light with
- 40:15Speaker 6: our Baptist church. It was like manhood retreat is what
- 40:18Speaker 6: we called it. I'm sorry what, Yeah, it was like
- 40:21Speaker 6: manhood I don't I forgot what it was called. I
- 40:23Speaker 6: was like, you know, maybe a freshman in high school.
- 40:25Speaker 6: And uh we learned how to like tie knots, make boats,
- 40:30Speaker 6: and uh we use those boats that we made to
- 40:32Speaker 6: go across a small pond.
- 40:34Speaker 3: So when you graduate from manhood camp, like you you
- 40:37Speaker 3: go there as a boy, and when you come home,
- 40:39Speaker 3: what are they to give you? Like a razor and
- 40:41Speaker 3: some like shaving cream?
- 40:42Speaker 6: It was actually way better. It was a sword real.
- 40:45Speaker 6: I got a sword. A sword I don't know, Camp
- 40:49Speaker 6: south Haven, Mississippi.
- 40:50Speaker 3: Wow, Yeah, I'm impressed.
- 40:53Speaker 6: I still have that sword. It's not very sharp, is it?
- 40:55Speaker 3: Okay? But but it was at one point. Have you
- 40:58Speaker 3: have you used it?
- 41:00Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, of course, I've like cosplayed as a
- 41:03Speaker 6: knight in my front yard. But that's as far as
- 41:05Speaker 6: I go.
- 41:05Speaker 3: Force. I want to hear from Eden, you know, who's
- 41:07Speaker 3: our intern, because I mean he is of the age
- 41:11Speaker 3: that you would go and do these kinds of things.
- 41:16Speaker 3: And there's a whole point to this because when I
- 41:19Speaker 3: was a kid, we would go to church camp and
- 41:21Speaker 3: it was always at a place called Ridgecrest. I don't
- 41:24Speaker 3: know if any of our listeners have ever heard of Ridgecrest,
- 41:27Speaker 3: North Carolina. But if you're in Ashville and you're driving,
- 41:31Speaker 3: this is right just right past a town called the
- 41:34Speaker 3: bat Cave. It's like we're Batman and Robin Love. I
- 41:37Speaker 3: never knew they were Southerners. But right beyond the bat
- 41:40Speaker 3: Cave on if you turn right, you had the Billy
- 41:43Speaker 3: Graham Evangelistic Center, which is like a state of the
- 41:47Speaker 3: art resort for Christians. And then you had Ridgecrest, which
- 41:53Speaker 3: is where generations of Baptist went to summer. I mean
- 41:57Speaker 3: we as kids, our youth group would always go to
- 42:00Speaker 3: a Ridge Crest and we would camp and we would
- 42:02Speaker 3: be in the we had the cabins. The food was
- 42:05Speaker 3: just terrible, except for the nibble Nook, which is where
- 42:10Speaker 3: a lot of young Baptist relationships were berthed. So there
- 42:13Speaker 3: was they were nibbling more than nooks at the nibbleedook,
- 42:17Speaker 3: as they say. So anyway, so Ian, I know you're
- 42:20Speaker 3: of the Presbyterian persuasion. Do you guys do what do
- 42:23Speaker 3: you guys do for summer For summer camp experiences.
- 42:26Speaker 13: We do have a Presbyterian camp.
- 42:30Speaker 6: Right.
- 42:30Speaker 14: It's like every kid in the arp all goes off
- 42:34Speaker 14: into like middle of nowhere, Tennessee for a week and
- 42:38Speaker 14: we have like two hundred kids there.
- 42:41Speaker 13: It's amazing.
- 42:42Speaker 3: Wow, So do you what? What do you do in
- 42:44Speaker 3: the middle of nowhere?
- 42:46Speaker 14: They have all sorts of different activities, but on the
- 42:49Speaker 14: last day there's like this huge event between all different
- 42:53Speaker 14: teams and you have to like a boat to the
- 42:56Speaker 14: center of the lake on this little island thing, and
- 42:59Speaker 14: then you have to have like a relay race with
- 43:01Speaker 14: a banana.
- 43:02Speaker 13: There's like a lot of camp culture a banana.
- 43:06Speaker 3: Yes, this is Is there some sort of a spiritual
- 43:09Speaker 3: significance to the fruit that is used?
- 43:11Speaker 13: Not really. I think it's just for the love of
- 43:14Speaker 13: the game.
- 43:14Speaker 3: Of course, and who doesn't love a good banana.
- 43:17Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 43:17Speaker 3: I mean i'd just say, so, are you still do
- 43:22Speaker 3: you still go to this camp or do you like
- 43:24Speaker 3: have to eight do you age out?
- 43:26Speaker 14: I think you age out at eighteen, But most of
- 43:28Speaker 14: the kids who aged out of it becomes like camp counselors. Oh,
- 43:32Speaker 14: of course they still go, but they have to they
- 43:34Speaker 14: have to do work, now do they?
- 43:36Speaker 3: I mean, do you guys. I'm just I'm very intrigued
- 43:38Speaker 3: by this. So do you guys like have like access
- 43:41Speaker 3: to Wi Fi and electricity or is it like old
- 43:44Speaker 3: school roughing up?
- 43:45Speaker 13: No, it's old school? Uh no ac, no phones, no nothing?
- 43:49Speaker 13: Wait what yeah?
- 43:51Speaker 15: Uh?
- 43:51Speaker 14: I think some of the speakers get AC and they're
- 43:54Speaker 14: like little houses. But other than that, all the kids
- 43:57Speaker 14: are just in wood boxes out in the middle of.
- 43:59Speaker 3: Book wood boxes. It sounds like a concentration camp, a
- 44:03Speaker 3: prison camp, but a fun one. Well at least you
- 44:07Speaker 3: get fresh fruit a banana. Good lord man. All right, well, Ian,
- 44:15Speaker 3: I'm glad. So you've gone. So you've been a participant.
- 44:18Speaker 3: Did you have a good time?
- 44:19Speaker 7: Is it?
- 44:19Speaker 3: What did you build? These like lifetime memories?
- 44:23Speaker 13: It was amazing, Yeah, no regrets.
- 44:26Speaker 3: So we did something once where we were in the
- 44:29Speaker 3: Sierra Nevada. We took like a big mission trip and
- 44:33Speaker 3: we were in a we were in a tent and
- 44:35Speaker 3: they had so bad.
- 44:37Speaker 13: Ian.
- 44:37Speaker 3: They have like bears and cougars and things that come
- 44:40Speaker 3: down under the mountains and you have to keep your
- 44:42Speaker 3: food in these like bins, right, so because the bears
- 44:47Speaker 3: will come and steal your food. And so, of course,
- 44:51Speaker 3: being Baptists, were very cheap with our food, and so
- 44:54Speaker 3: we would if we had Boloney sandwiches and the is
- 44:58Speaker 3: it flaming hot Cheeto or Dorito's anyway, both of them
- 45:03Speaker 3: leave a bit of a lingering odor, if you know
- 45:05Speaker 3: what I mean? Ian, Do you know what I mean?
- 45:09Speaker 10: Uh?
- 45:09Speaker 14: Yeah, Okay. At camp it was talkies. That was a
- 45:12Speaker 14: snack that everyone wants.
- 45:13Speaker 13: What talkies.
- 45:14Speaker 14: It's like cheetos, hot cheetos, but like I think Mexican seasoning.
- 45:22Speaker 3: So they were Dylan, are you okay? Poor Dylan is
- 45:25Speaker 3: just dying over here. So look so Ian. So the
- 45:29Speaker 3: concern was that a couple of my buddies that were
- 45:32Speaker 3: there in the youth group, they love Ballooni sandwiches and
- 45:35Speaker 3: they just like ate an entire bag of Dorito's, and
- 45:39Speaker 3: every time they belched at night, I was afraid that
- 45:42Speaker 3: we were gonna have like a grizzly bear come and
- 45:45Speaker 3: just like chowt out on us. Because you could smell
- 45:48Speaker 3: Dorito's for about fifty yards in either direction.
- 45:52Speaker 13: It must have been terrible stuck in that cabin or tent.
- 45:55Speaker 3: It was. It was not pleasant.
- 45:57Speaker 13: Did you have an encounter with a bear or a cougar.
- 45:59Speaker 3: No, no, thankfully. However, when I was at Ridgecrest, and
- 46:04Speaker 3: this goes back to my Ridgecrest story. When you check
- 46:08Speaker 3: in at Ridge Crest, they give you a list, and
- 46:10Speaker 3: they do have a lot of bears there, and so
- 46:13Speaker 3: they have a list of like seven or eight things
- 46:15Speaker 3: that you need to do if you encounter a bear.
- 46:18Speaker 3: For me, there's only one run faster than the person
- 46:22Speaker 3: next to you. That would be my rule. So I
- 46:24Speaker 3: would just have to run faster than Dylan. So anyway,
- 46:28Speaker 3: I'm going down the list and of things that you're
- 46:31Speaker 3: not supposed to do if you encounter a bear. And
- 46:33Speaker 3: number four on the list at our Ridgecrest Baptist camp
- 46:36Speaker 3: was don't bend over. And I immediately look at the
- 46:39Speaker 3: clerk and I'm like, what kind of bears do you
- 46:42Speaker 3: guys have up here? There's a Baptist campground for crying
- 46:46Speaker 3: out loud? What pervert bears? They didn't see the humor
- 46:51Speaker 3: in that. I thought it was pretty darn funny. So anyway,
- 46:56Speaker 3: that was my bear story. Well, Ian, I only asked
- 46:59Speaker 3: this because in New York State, this is the headline,
- 47:04Speaker 3: Meet the rich Kids of Summer who fly private planes
- 47:07Speaker 3: to twenty thousand dollars sleep away camps for elite friendships
- 47:12Speaker 3: and life building skills. I'm just reading how many parents
- 47:16Speaker 3: listening to us would fork over twenty thousand dollars to
- 47:19Speaker 3: send their kids out into the middle of the wilderness.
- 47:23Speaker 3: That's what I want to know. So according to this, Dylan,
- 47:27Speaker 3: I'm just curious, here, do you think your parents would
- 47:29Speaker 3: spend twenty grand to send you out into the middle
- 47:31Speaker 3: of the woods.
- 47:33Speaker 6: Probably anything to get rid of me, they probably would
- 47:35Speaker 6: spend Yeah.
- 47:36Speaker 15: Wow.
- 47:36Speaker 3: So this is all up in the Adirondacks, and this
- 47:38Speaker 3: is like the big thing. Now you know, you've got
- 47:41Speaker 3: the we were talking about this with the you know,
- 47:43Speaker 3: the black families where it's a prom is a big
- 47:46Speaker 3: thing right where they'll drop you to fifty grand on
- 47:49Speaker 3: a prom. And now you've had all these rich white
- 47:52Speaker 3: folks and they're sending their plate their kids. Oh here
- 47:55Speaker 3: we go, h Camp Vega a girl's only summer and Fayett,
- 48:01Speaker 3: Maine forty thousand dollars. Not how much it cost forty
- 48:06Speaker 3: thousand dollars unbelievable. So I'm just curious, parents, do you
- 48:14Speaker 3: send your kids off to camp? I gotta tell you,
- 48:18Speaker 3: I feel kind of jypped. I really want I wanted
- 48:22Speaker 3: a better camp experience on Rich.
- 48:24Speaker 6: Was way better time. I mean, you got survival skills.
- 48:27Speaker 6: I mean you literally know how to what to do
- 48:29Speaker 6: in case you encounter a bear. What do they get?
- 48:31Speaker 6: Probably pampered, you know, it's like glamping probably.
- 48:34Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah. I think it's more for the parents
- 48:37Speaker 3: because they say the parents got get to build a
- 48:39Speaker 3: roll attax, you know, with the other the other wealthy parents.
- 48:43Speaker 3: So they're like networking. Wow mm hmm. Oh, here they go.
- 48:48Speaker 3: They do water skiing and kayaking, and they make smores,
- 48:52Speaker 3: no doubt gold leaf. They sprinkle some gold leaf on
- 48:55Speaker 3: the smores.
- 48:55Speaker 6: That's no.
- 48:59Speaker 3: Doubt about it. Oh my lord. You see this is
- 49:03Speaker 3: the problem with America. Ladies and gentlemen. Just put your kids,
- 49:06Speaker 3: you know what, just pitch a tent in the backyard
- 49:08Speaker 3: and uh, you know, let the kids do it for free.
- 49:10Speaker 3: You can say forty grand that's what I say. Nine
- 49:14Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six. Are
- 49:16Speaker 3: a telephone over, that's nine oh one two six zero
- 49:20Speaker 3: five nine two six. I'm gonna play some audio. This
- 49:24Speaker 3: is Steve Harvey, and I kind of like isn't he
- 49:26Speaker 3: like the A Family Feud guy. I kind of like
- 49:29Speaker 3: Steve Harvey. I don't know where he's coming from with this,
- 49:32Speaker 3: but he says that white people we don't have any culture.
- 49:37Speaker 3: I take I think we should take great offense of this.
- 49:40Speaker 3: I think let's take a listen to cut twenty two.
- 49:43Speaker 2: White kids don't determine what's cooled in this world. People
- 49:50Speaker 2: of color determined what's cool. We decide how you wear
- 49:54Speaker 2: your hair, we tell you how to dress, we tell
- 49:58Speaker 2: you what music is, how we tell you ain't No
- 50:02Speaker 2: black kids got no white kids on their wall on
- 50:05Speaker 2: the poster. White kids got black kids on the wall
- 50:08Speaker 2: on the poster. The cool factor is determined by people
- 50:13Speaker 2: of color. That's the cool factor in every culture period. Now,
- 50:19Speaker 2: I don't have to bag down off what I'm saying.
- 50:23Speaker 3: I have proof. Broh bruh.
- 50:29Speaker 2: Taylor Swift cold now Taylor Swift biggest, one of the
- 50:33Speaker 2: biggest pop stars in the world today. But then black girls,
- 50:38Speaker 2: they got Beyonce on the wall. It's some cold European
- 50:41Speaker 2: basketball players, but they got Kobe on the wall, they
- 50:45Speaker 2: got Jordan on the wall, they got a magic on
- 50:50Speaker 2: the wall that I'm sorry your has that way because
- 50:58Speaker 2: of your color. We said ball was cool. Black dudes
- 51:04Speaker 2: said ball heads was cool. Guess what got cool? Ball Head?
- 51:07Speaker 2: We said that because we can't do call overs, our
- 51:13Speaker 2: half fall out. We can't brush this over here, hide it,
- 51:17Speaker 2: no zip this bad ball We made this cool black,
- 51:21Speaker 2: Michael Jordan, We made be in ball cool.
- 51:25Speaker 14: We said, put a ring in your.
- 51:27Speaker 6: Ear, all the dances, everything.
- 51:31Speaker 2: So if you want to change the culture in the world,
- 51:34Speaker 2: you change them kids right their mindset, and you changed
- 51:37Speaker 2: the world. Everybody else gonna follow. Man, Boy, I know
- 51:42Speaker 2: I'm gonna get in trouble for saying that.
- 51:46Speaker 3: God No, I didn't think so.
- 51:47Speaker 13: I didn't think so.
- 51:48Speaker 9: I don't think.
- 51:50Speaker 3: I don't think so. That guy's white. Look, here's the deal.
- 51:56Speaker 3: I think we're pretty cool. Is this true? Though? I
- 52:02Speaker 3: just I don't know. I look at the you know,
- 52:04Speaker 3: I look at all these black women Dylan with the
- 52:08Speaker 3: long flowing red hair and blonde hair, and you know,
- 52:14Speaker 3: they're they're culturally appropriating the hair of white people. So
- 52:19Speaker 3: I'm wondering if Steve Harvey would have an issue with that,
- 52:22Speaker 3: because he's saying that, ultimately the only cool stuff is
- 52:25Speaker 3: coming out of black people.
- 52:27Speaker 6: I mean you mentioned basketball and Taylor Swift. I don't
- 52:31Speaker 6: know if that's our standard for cool right now.
- 52:34Speaker 3: Do we do? By the way, some of his cultural
- 52:38Speaker 3: references are little dated there, right, just to Smith, the
- 52:42Speaker 3: Cobo and the all the athletes. Yeah, they're like really
- 52:47Speaker 3: old school. But he's talking about fashion, and I guess,
- 52:51Speaker 3: I mean, look, I guess that he says that blacks
- 52:54Speaker 3: are setting the standard when it comes to fashion, and
- 52:57Speaker 3: I guess maybe he has a point. You know, unless
- 53:00Speaker 3: all of those ladies love looking at the guys with
- 53:03Speaker 3: the baggy jeans around their knees and they're showing their
- 53:07Speaker 3: ass crack. We'll be right back, all right. I wanted
- 53:17Speaker 3: to give you an update since we're not big w
- 53:19Speaker 3: NBA vans here, but this did, in fact happen very recently.
- 53:26Speaker 3: It happened Wednesday night. Caitlin Clark has she was injured
- 53:32Speaker 3: in this attack, so she went down, she was knocked
- 53:35Speaker 3: to the court, and you had a black player drive
- 53:39Speaker 3: her leg into Caitlin Clark's growing and then punched her.
- 53:45Speaker 3: It had a closed fist and punched her in the throat,
- 53:49Speaker 3: and the referee did not call a foul on the
- 53:52Speaker 3: play at all. I mean This was just absolutely egregious.
- 53:56Speaker 3: So we've got some audio here. Is this the head
- 53:59Speaker 3: coach of the Fever or I believe let's take a lesson.
- 54:04Speaker 6: Do you have any turn update on Caitlyn's back or
- 54:06Speaker 6: how she's doing right now?
- 54:07Speaker 12: Oh?
- 54:07Speaker 9: No current update.
- 54:08Speaker 6: It was a clip of the of a play where
- 54:10Speaker 6: she got pushed in the neck during the game. Have
- 54:12Speaker 6: you seen that? To that evidy impact on her health
- 54:14Speaker 6: in this one?
- 54:14Speaker 15: I just saw it.
- 54:15Speaker 9: I'm not sure if I had any impact on the
- 54:17Speaker 9: health or her health or not, but it was egregious.
- 54:23Speaker 9: The fact that it was a no call. I heard
- 54:28Speaker 9: it about it at halftime. I brought it to the
- 54:30Speaker 9: attention of the officials at halftime. Yet we still had
- 54:34Speaker 9: eleven fouls in the in the fourth quarter. To there too,
- 54:38Speaker 9: they still shot twenty four free throws.
- 54:42Speaker 15: In the second half.
- 54:45Speaker 9: I just number one, you gotta call it. It's absolutely
- 54:56Speaker 9: egregious and utterly disrespectful. And then number two, you're coming
- 55:03Speaker 9: in here aware of what happened two nights ago and
- 55:07Speaker 9: that shit still happens.
- 55:09Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, we got to make sure we h there
- 55:11Speaker 3: we Yes, clearly the coach is fired up, fired up.
- 55:15Speaker 3: There no doubt about it, no foul call to the play. Look,
- 55:21Speaker 3: here's the deal, and I appreciate the coach here, but
- 55:23Speaker 3: the coach needs to come out and start saying exactly
- 55:26Speaker 3: what's going on here, that this was this was a
- 55:29Speaker 3: hate crime, what happened that this has nothing to do
- 55:31Speaker 3: with basketball. This has everything to do with an untold
- 55:36Speaker 3: number of black female lesbians and others who despise the
- 55:41Speaker 3: fact that Caitlin Clark is a rock star in the WNBA.
- 55:45Speaker 3: I mean, that's really all there is to it. So
- 55:48Speaker 3: at some point somebody needs to have the courage to
- 55:51Speaker 3: come out and just say what this is really all about.
- 55:53Speaker 3: And I appreciate boomer Risyasin saying what he said, because
- 55:57Speaker 3: this is true. The reason why Caitlyn Clark was nearly
- 56:01Speaker 3: was mauled and manhandled is because she's a straight white woman.
- 56:06Speaker 3: That's it, and we do need to start calling it out.
- 56:09Speaker 3: I just have to tell you if if you had
- 56:11Speaker 3: a daughter, would you let her play in the WNBA? Men,
- 56:18Speaker 3: I mean, it's open season on white people. And I
- 56:21Speaker 3: don't know why they just don't come out and just say,
- 56:23Speaker 3: you know what, guys, yet, this is really a league
- 56:25Speaker 3: for black lesbians and you guys need to go start
- 56:29Speaker 3: something else. But the WNBA, it's just going to be
- 56:33Speaker 3: an exclusive sporting event for black lesbian chicks and all
- 56:39Speaker 3: the rest of you can go play somewhere else. Maybe
- 56:42Speaker 3: that would resolve it. Because I'm thinking here and just
- 56:45Speaker 3: think about this. If you're Caitlin Clark, can you imagine
- 56:47Speaker 3: And by the way, she's injured, she got hurt, she's
- 56:50Speaker 3: out for the game, for the next game. I mean,
- 56:52Speaker 3: if you're Caitlin Clark, you have to be wondering every
- 56:56Speaker 3: single day, am I going to come off this court alive?
- 56:58Speaker 3: Or are they going to try to kill I mean,
- 57:00Speaker 3: it's a great Unfortunately, it's a great question, but it's
- 57:03Speaker 3: a question you got to ask. It's a really disgusting question.
- 57:07Speaker 3: We'll be right back, all right, Welcome back, everybody. This
- 57:25Speaker 3: is the Todd Stars Radio Show. We're so happy to

- 58:26Speaker 3: it was a couple of a couple of months ago
- 58:28Speaker 3: that we told you the story of Jacob York, a
- 58:32Speaker 3: baseball player at Olivet Nazarene University TPUSA president, and he
- 58:37Speaker 3: came under under fire. He received death threats in the
- 58:41Speaker 3: aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination. As a matter of fact,
- 58:45Speaker 3: I wrote about Jacob's experience in my new book coming Out,
- 58:49Speaker 3: The Golden Age. Dylan, you know we haven't held up
- 58:52Speaker 3: a copy of the book. We need to do that. Well,
- 58:55Speaker 3: you've got to keep reminding you have it. We got
- 58:57Speaker 3: to do the branding the now Trump Saved America. It'll
- 59:02Speaker 3: be in bookstores around the nation in August August the eleventh,
- 59:06Speaker 3: but you can pre order a copy right now. And
- 59:09Speaker 3: I just got my author copies in yesterday, and we're
- 59:12Speaker 3: really loving the book. It's absolutely a beautiful book in
- 59:15Speaker 3: President Trump's favorite color, which is gold. So anyway, Jacob
- 59:20Speaker 3: is you can read his story in my new book.
- 59:24Speaker 3: And Jacob joins us on our Patriot what we'll use
- 59:26Speaker 3: maker line. He is not taking off the summer. He
- 59:29Speaker 3: is a busy man, Jacob. Hope you're doing well.
- 59:33Speaker 16: I'm doing great. Todd, thanks for having me on the
- 59:35Speaker 16: show again. Hope you're doing well.
- 59:36Speaker 3: As well, Jacob. I am. And before we get into
- 59:39Speaker 3: you know what you guys have been up to. Of course,
- 59:42Speaker 3: you are like an incredible baseball player, college baseball player,
- 59:45Speaker 3: and I know you've been following all of these crazy
- 59:48Speaker 3: stories about Major League baseball. There was another story yesterday
- 59:51Speaker 3: the Detroit Tigers, and we had this up on our website,
- 59:54Speaker 3: Todd Sterns dot com. A lady was wearing a shirt
- 59:58Speaker 3: that said Jesus over Pride. And she was told to
- 1:00:01Speaker 3: leave the ballpark because her shirt offended people. And then
- 1:00:04Speaker 3: of course you've got the pitchers with the San Francisco Giants.
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: I mean, really, it's just crazy out there at the ballpark.
- 1:00:10Speaker 3: Why can't it just be about baseball?
- 1:00:14Speaker 16: Yeah, I think that's true in all of sports these days,
- 1:00:16Speaker 16: that our sports are awfully more political than it would seem,
- 1:00:20Speaker 16: where people can't really just focus on the game anymore.
- 1:00:22Speaker 16: You've even seeing that up here in the Chicago area
- 1:00:23Speaker 16: where the Bears are now leaving Chicago and heading to Hammond, Indiana.
- 1:00:27Speaker 16: So yeah, sports are political now too.
- 1:00:30Speaker 3: It's so sad and because again people used I mean
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: back in the old days, people would go to a movie,
- 1:00:36Speaker 3: they would go to a baseball game or a football
- 1:00:39Speaker 3: game to escape all the chaos of the world. And
- 1:00:42Speaker 3: now somehow all the chaos has ended up in the ballpark.
- 1:00:48Speaker 16: Yeah. And I think really what happens is because everything
- 1:00:51Speaker 16: is so publicized and the media is just a huge
- 1:00:54Speaker 16: hit right now, and everything's on social media and it's
- 1:00:56Speaker 16: one click away that everybody's business is out there. If
- 1:01:00Speaker 16: you have an opinion, the whole world knows it. And
- 1:01:02Speaker 16: that's definitely true for the baseball players that were under
- 1:01:04Speaker 16: fire this week.
- 1:01:04Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about what you guys are up to,
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: because you're pretty busy this summer. You're not sitting in
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: the lazy boy drinking a drinking a doctor pepper. You
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: are out there handing out copies of the US Constitution
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: and old glory. Tell us about what you guys are doing.
- 1:01:23Speaker 16: Yeah, so last week me and my good buddy Jaden
- 1:01:26Speaker 16: went out to Piatone where we were invited to table
- 1:01:29Speaker 16: on behalf of Turning Point at a car show and
- 1:01:31Speaker 16: we handed out over fifty or fifty American flags, over
- 1:01:35Speaker 16: thirty US constitutions, had great civic discussion about religion, politics, ethics, worldview,
- 1:01:42Speaker 16: you name it.
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: What were some of the conversations you had. I'm just
- 1:01:45Speaker 3: curious what's on the minds of folks out there in
- 1:01:48Speaker 3: the heartland. Yeah, it was great.
- 1:01:52Speaker 16: I think that a lot of people came up and
- 1:01:54Speaker 16: they just wanted to support. They're like, how can we
- 1:01:56Speaker 16: get involved, can we donate? What do we need to
- 1:01:58Speaker 16: do for our part? Which, honestly, my reaction was just
- 1:02:02Speaker 16: have conversations with especially the kids you have or family friends.
- 1:02:05Speaker 16: Just have conversation. But there definitely were a few people
- 1:02:08Speaker 16: who walked up who disagreed with the things we stand for,
- 1:02:12Speaker 16: who didn't like Charlie Kirk as a person or his organization.
- 1:02:15Speaker 16: I think we had one debate that went about thirty
- 1:02:17Speaker 16: minutes long about the pro life versus pro choice argument.
- 1:02:21Speaker 16: But yeah, most, for the most part, things were supportive
- 1:02:24Speaker 16: and cordial.
- 1:02:26Speaker 3: You know, when we're gosh, it's hard to believe, you know. September,
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: you know, we were having those conversations about about Charlie
- 1:02:34Speaker 3: and I'm wondering how things are going with TPUSA. A
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: lot of folks were wondering if the movement was going
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: to be able to survive the assassination. What say you?
- 1:02:46Speaker 16: It's an interesting question because you have a guy like
- 1:02:49Speaker 16: Charlie Kirk, who was the most influential person probably in
- 1:02:53Speaker 16: my lifetime. And I think what made him so influential
- 1:02:56Speaker 16: is he gave people like me the courage to go
- 1:02:59Speaker 16: and sit in table. But I think he also gave
- 1:03:02Speaker 16: courage to the leftists who wanted to debate him as well.
- 1:03:04Speaker 16: I don't think I would have the experience I am
- 1:03:07Speaker 16: with having these conversations with people if Charlie Kirk didn't exist.
- 1:03:10Speaker 16: The people even on the other side of the aisle
- 1:03:12Speaker 16: now have that same courage. And I think Turning Point
- 1:03:15Speaker 16: is an organization. It can stand behind one person. However,
- 1:03:18Speaker 16: as an organization, it is only going to be successful
- 1:03:21Speaker 16: if the students and the people step up and they
- 1:03:24Speaker 16: do their part too. Charlie Kirk was super successful, hardworking man,
- 1:03:28Speaker 16: great public speaker, but he had lines and lines of
- 1:03:31Speaker 16: defense behind him, also willing to take up the battle themselves.
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: All right, so you're out there, you're handing out the
- 1:03:37Speaker 3: American flags, you're handing out the constitutions. I understand you
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: guys are actually heading for a big pro life event
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: this weekend. What's going on?
- 1:03:47Speaker 16: Yeah, there is a March for Life in Rockford where
- 1:03:49Speaker 16: we are also invited out to come table and whatnot.
- 1:03:52Speaker 16: And yeah, there'll be people walking the streets standing up
- 1:03:55Speaker 16: for all life and how all life matters, even unborn life.
- 1:04:00Speaker 16: And it should be really good. I think there will
- 1:04:02Speaker 16: be a very popular event. I'm hoping to pass out
- 1:04:05Speaker 16: quite a few US constitutions just like this again, hopefully
- 1:04:08Speaker 16: people understand their American heritage better. And also I'll be
- 1:04:12Speaker 16: doing some man on the street interviews with some people
- 1:04:14Speaker 16: whether those people agree with what we're doing there or not.
- 1:04:16Speaker 16: I think it's important to engage in all discussions and
- 1:04:19Speaker 16: put yourself out there and be willing to disagree with people,
- 1:04:22Speaker 16: because that's what makes our country great, is that we
- 1:04:24Speaker 16: have the freedom to not only say what we want
- 1:04:26Speaker 16: to say, but also to listen to what we don't
- 1:04:29Speaker 16: want to hear.
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to keep the conversation going. Jacob York
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: joining us from Ali at Nazarene University. He's the TPUSA
- 1:04:37Speaker 3: president there, Jacob, no doubt. The midterms are fast approaching.
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: Wondering if you guys are having any conversations regarding politics
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: when you're out there handing out those flags and the
- 1:04:48Speaker 3: constitutions for sure.
- 1:04:51Speaker 16: And actually part of there is a little group through
- 1:04:54Speaker 16: Turning Point right now called the Campus Coordinator Program, which
- 1:04:57Speaker 16: while we're out tabling, one of our main jobs is
- 1:04:59Speaker 16: just to get people to check their voter ID status
- 1:05:02Speaker 16: and make sure that they're able to vote in the midterms.
- 1:05:05Speaker 16: We don't necessarily advocate for one candidate over the other,
- 1:05:09Speaker 16: but we believe it is a civic duty to go
- 1:05:12Speaker 16: out there and vote. I think a lot of people
- 1:05:13Speaker 16: vote in the presidential election, and then you see the
- 1:05:16Speaker 16: huge drop off in numbers when it comes to the midterms,
- 1:05:19Speaker 16: and we want people to participate in the right that
- 1:05:22Speaker 16: they're given in this country.
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: Now, I look, I think an important thing, and again
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: we've got to engage the political process.
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: You know.
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: One of the challenges I think is that far too
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: many Christians have decided to disengage from the culture. They've
- 1:05:37Speaker 3: been told from their pulpits that Christians should not be
- 1:05:40Speaker 3: involved in politics, that we should just we should just
- 1:05:44Speaker 3: stay inside our church houses and not engage folks out
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: of the community. And I just have to tell you,
- 1:05:51Speaker 3: I just completely disagree with that philosophy. I think the
- 1:05:55Speaker 3: problem with the country is that the Church is not
- 1:05:58Speaker 3: engaged in the public marketplace, say you.
- 1:06:02Speaker 16: I mean, if you just look at the Bible, and
- 1:06:04Speaker 16: a lot of these Christians are saying this. If you
- 1:06:05Speaker 16: just look at the Bible, plenty of people in the
- 1:06:07Speaker 16: Bible were political figures. I mean, David was maybe the
- 1:06:10Speaker 16: most influential Old Testament character in the Bible, and he
- 1:06:13Speaker 16: was very political. You could even go to Moses so
- 1:06:15Speaker 16: to speak. He was also very political and deal ends
- 1:06:18Speaker 16: with in the country and the lands. So I think
- 1:06:21Speaker 16: that obviously you need good Christian people to step up
- 1:06:25Speaker 16: in this country, to use their voice and just step
- 1:06:27Speaker 16: up in politics in general. I mean, we are built
- 1:06:29Speaker 16: on Judeo Christian heritage in this country and that just
- 1:06:33Speaker 16: really needs to be restored.
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: All right, good stuff, Jacob, We're gonna leave it there.
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: Good luck to you this weekend, and we're just so
- 1:06:39Speaker 3: proud of you and the great work you and your
- 1:06:41Speaker 3: pals are doing handing out American flags and US constitutions.
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: I can't think of a better way to spend summertime
- 1:06:47Speaker 3: than that, Jacob.
- 1:06:48Speaker 16: Goodnessuit, I agree, I agree, Thank you, God bless you.
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: All Right. There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Jacob
- 1:06:54Speaker 3: York from Alive at Nazarene University. It was so bad
- 1:06:59Speaker 3: on his campus. And just let me say this about
- 1:07:01Speaker 3: the campus. The university did everything right here so that
- 1:07:05Speaker 3: they handled this exactly the way you would expect and
- 1:07:09Speaker 3: you would want a university to handle the situation. But
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: it was so bad the threats on his life that
- 1:07:15Speaker 3: he had to spend the remainder of his semester at
- 1:07:17Speaker 3: home because they were that concerned with the level of
- 1:07:21Speaker 3: threats and violence directed at this young man. And Jacob
- 1:07:24Speaker 3: plays on the university's baseball team. Just an all around
- 1:07:27Speaker 3: great athlete, great person, and a sharp Christian as well.
- 1:07:32Speaker 3: But we had Jacob on the program and we told
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: his story in the book as one of those great
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: American patriots. I mean, it would have been easy for
- 1:07:42Speaker 3: Jacob to take a look at all those death threats
- 1:07:44Speaker 3: and say, you know what, I don't want anything to
- 1:07:46Speaker 3: do with this. I am done. I'm going to play baseball,
- 1:07:49Speaker 3: I'm going to get my degree, and I'm going to
- 1:07:50Speaker 3: go on and live my life. But instead he decided
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: to double down and take a stand, and he did
- 1:07:56Speaker 3: not back down. And one of the things that really
- 1:07:59Speaker 3: bothers me, especially in the social media world, I get
- 1:08:02Speaker 3: this all the time from grown adults who will say, oh,
- 1:08:06Speaker 3: you know, I don't want to say anything. It might
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: hurt my job. I don't want to use my real name,
- 1:08:10Speaker 3: or or they call up and they'll use an anonymous name.
- 1:08:13Speaker 3: They're like, oh, you know, I want you to know
- 1:08:15Speaker 3: we're standing with you. No, you're not. You're hiding in
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: the shadows. That's what you're doing. But if a young
- 1:08:21Speaker 3: man like Jacob York can get out there, a guy
- 1:08:23Speaker 3: who got death threat so bad that he had to
- 1:08:26Speaker 3: go home for the rest of the semester for his
- 1:08:28Speaker 3: own protection. They wouldn't shut that guy up. So why
- 1:08:32Speaker 3: can't you get out there? And why can't you take
- 1:08:35Speaker 3: a stand? Never have understood that?
- 1:08:38Speaker 15: All right?
- 1:08:39Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nne two six
- 1:08:42Speaker 3: our telephone number, that's nine oh one two six zero
- 1:08:45Speaker 3: five nine two six. I was going through the book,
- 1:08:50Speaker 3: and by the way, there are a couple of nice
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: photographs Dylan, of me and President Trump that they put
- 1:08:55Speaker 3: in the book. This or rather snazzy. I man have
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: to get the president autograph that one.
- 1:09:01Speaker 6: You do need an autograph?
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, I got it.
- 1:09:04Speaker 5: Yes.
- 1:09:04Speaker 3: So we're working to be able to we're working right
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: now with this team. Hopefully we'll be able to hop
- 1:09:08Speaker 3: up to Washington and present him a copy in the
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: in the Oval Office. But I want to read through
- 1:09:14Speaker 3: just some of the chapters here because it's just well,
- 1:09:17Speaker 3: here's this is the The opening quote of the book
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: is actually from President Trump Inoperation Day twenty twenty five.
- 1:09:25Speaker 3: We will stand bravely, we will live proudly, we will
- 1:09:28Speaker 3: dream boldly, and nothing will stand in our way. Because
- 1:09:32Speaker 3: we are Americans. The future is ours and our Golden
- 1:09:36Speaker 3: Age has just begun. And that really was as I
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: was listening to that speech, that was the idea. That's
- 1:09:44Speaker 3: when it was birthed for this book called the Golden Age.
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: How Trump Saved America. Chapter one, How Trump saved Common Sense,
- 1:09:53Speaker 3: we actually published the president's inaugural address. How Trump saved
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: our schools. How Trump saved my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: That is a fun story, by the way, and we've
- 1:10:06Speaker 3: gone I'm just kind of scrolling through here. How Trump
- 1:10:08Speaker 3: saved the military, How Trump saved Christmas, How Trump saved
- 1:10:13Speaker 3: our culture, and then at the very end, how Americans
- 1:10:17Speaker 3: can save Trump's agenda. So we all have a job
- 1:10:20Speaker 3: to do after President Trump calls it a day and
- 1:10:23Speaker 3: goes back tomorrow lago. So I'm really excited for you
- 1:10:26Speaker 3: to read the book. And as we get a little
- 1:10:28Speaker 3: bit closer to launch day, well, I'll probably read a
- 1:10:31Speaker 3: chapter on the radio for you. I think you're really
- 1:10:34Speaker 3: gonna enjoy that. All right, Our telephone number nine O
- 1:10:37Speaker 3: one two six ZUROO five nine two six Again that
- 1:10:40Speaker 3: number nine O one two six zero five nine two six.
- 1:10:43Speaker 3: This is the Todd Starns Show. All right, Welcome back, everybody.
- 1:10:57Speaker 3: This is the Todd Sterns Radio show, our telephone nubern

- 1:11:17Speaker 3: and a great conversation as well. All right, Obama, Obama
- 1:11:23Speaker 3: talking about Donald J. Trump, our great president. Here is
- 1:11:28Speaker 3: cut twenty four. Please that sounded.
- 1:11:32Speaker 17: I mean, the thing about it is, fuck you. You
- 1:11:37Speaker 17: got to ask him what it is that the obsession,
- 1:11:42Speaker 17: the obsession, I know what, yeah, what I obviously you
- 1:11:45Speaker 17: know have a room in his rent free you a
- 1:11:49Speaker 17: suite and is in his head. But the thing about
- 1:11:53Speaker 17: it is that was always clear to me. Look, first
- 1:11:56Speaker 17: of all, when I was president, the last thing I
- 1:12:00Speaker 17: had time to do was worried about what somebody said,
- 1:12:03Speaker 17: somebody said, or what the my predecessor did.
- 1:12:06Speaker 5: They're gone.
- 1:12:07Speaker 3: I've got work to do.
- 1:12:09Speaker 9: Then.
- 1:12:09Speaker 17: It's hard to describe how if you're doing the job
- 1:12:12Speaker 17: right every day, you got five ten things that are
- 1:12:20Speaker 17: feel hard, and you have to be constantly focused. The
- 1:12:25Speaker 17: idea that I'd be worrying about came before somebody who
- 1:12:29Speaker 17: came before, and me trying to measure it, you know, like,
- 1:12:32Speaker 17: what's he done today? Look constantly worrying about that is
- 1:12:36Speaker 17: a strange thing to me. It shows me somebody who's
- 1:12:40Speaker 17: not focused on the American people and the job they're
- 1:12:42Speaker 17: supposed to do.
- 1:12:44Speaker 3: All right, that was Brocca. But you know what's interesting
- 1:12:46Speaker 3: that guy. Everybody thought, Oh, he's just a brilliant oratory.
- 1:12:50Speaker 3: He's such a well spoken man. Yeah, when somebody's writing
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: speeches for him. But when he has to just talk extemporaneously,
- 1:12:59Speaker 3: like you just heard you, it's like, dude, just spit
- 1:13:07Speaker 3: it out, say what needs to be said. Barack Hussein
- 1:13:13Speaker 3: Obama and he says he lives rent free, and Trump said,
- 1:13:16Speaker 3: and I have no doubt about that. I don't think
- 1:13:19Speaker 3: Obama's ever paid a bill in his life. I would
- 1:13:23Speaker 3: expect nothing else from this guy. Oh, by the way,
- 1:13:27Speaker 3: have you seen the video? Tell him? Have you seen
- 1:13:29Speaker 3: the video Carnival Cruise?
- 1:13:31Speaker 6: I have not.
- 1:13:32Speaker 3: There was like a huge riot on Carnival Cruise and
- 1:13:38Speaker 3: it's the It was an all black mob and they're
- 1:13:42Speaker 3: fighting and beating each other up, and throwing shoes, and
- 1:13:46Speaker 3: so Carnival Cruz has banned sixteen people for the rest
- 1:13:50Speaker 3: of their lives. They're not allowed to get on the
- 1:13:52Speaker 3: cruise ships. And we don't know what set everybody off,
- 1:13:55Speaker 3: but this is not the first time. And there's a
- 1:13:57Speaker 3: report out there that Carnival Cruz is now among other
- 1:14:00Speaker 3: cruise lines they're dealing with. I mean, it's basically Walmart
- 1:14:06Speaker 3: on the seas.
- 1:14:07Speaker 6: Yeah, can we stop like having fights in the middle
- 1:14:11Speaker 6: of the ocean, like you can't you can't leave.
- 1:14:13Speaker 3: Why this is what I don't understand. You're on a vacation,
- 1:14:17Speaker 3: you're on a cruise, enjoy the cruise. Why are you
- 1:14:21Speaker 3: going around beating people up? And by the way, I mean,
- 1:14:25Speaker 3: it's just complete takeovers of ships. And you know why.
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: I feel bad for the elderly couple from Bartlesville, Oklahoma
- 1:14:33Speaker 3: who have saved up their pennies, their entire life to
- 1:14:35Speaker 3: take the big Caribbean cruise and they show up down
- 1:14:39Speaker 3: in Miami and all of a sudden, it looks just
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: like Chuck E.
- 1:14:43Speaker 6: Cheese or the people that retire and they live on
- 1:14:47Speaker 6: the cruise ships. We've seen those people.
- 1:14:50Speaker 3: I couldn't do that.
- 1:14:51Speaker 6: I would never do that. You would have to give
- 1:14:53Speaker 6: me one of those patches keeps me from being seasick,
- 1:14:56Speaker 6: like all of them forever patches.
- 1:15:01Speaker 3: There are many questions I have about this carnival cruise story,
- 1:15:04Speaker 3: but all I can tell you is no way I
- 1:15:06Speaker 3: would ever go on a cruise now it's been ruined,
- 1:15:10Speaker 3: unless you're gonna have to go to one of the
- 1:15:12Speaker 3: high dollar cruises where they just don't tolerate that kind
- 1:15:15Speaker 3: of stuff. But the fact of the matter is Carnival
- 1:15:18Speaker 3: cruise has become basically like spirit airlines on the water.
- 1:15:23Speaker 3: What are they called full of Someone called it section
- 1:15:27Speaker 3: eight of the Sea's uh, they're not wrong, all right,

- 1:16:56Speaker 3: to play some audio here. We got a lot of
- 1:16:58Speaker 3: political stuff to talk about it. We're gonna be a
- 1:17:00Speaker 3: either way. John Fleming from the he's the Louisiana treasurer
- 1:17:05Speaker 3: in the runoff for the Senate to replace Bocassidy. He's
- 1:17:08Speaker 3: coming up in just a little while, and so we're
- 1:17:10Speaker 3: gonna be tired him. But I'm I've been holding onto
- 1:17:12Speaker 3: this since Monday, and I've got to play this audio
- 1:17:15Speaker 3: for you so because i want to know what you
- 1:17:18Speaker 3: would do, ladies in tellmen if this was your child.
- 1:17:21Speaker 3: So there is a father, and well I'm just gonna
- 1:17:24Speaker 3: let he's got a five year old son, all right,
- 1:17:26Speaker 3: And so I want we're gonna play the this is
- 1:17:29Speaker 3: cut eighteen. Now we're gonna play this audio and then
- 1:17:31Speaker 3: I want to hear your take on this story.
- 1:17:35Speaker 18: My five year old is suspended from school for fighting,
- 1:17:39Speaker 18: and evidently I didn't react to the situation the way
- 1:17:44Speaker 18: that the school administration thought I was going to. I
- 1:17:47Speaker 18: get a phone call I'm at work. Principal says, hey,
- 1:17:50Speaker 18: your son got in a fight at school today.
- 1:17:52Speaker 6: All right, you see, Okay, he's fine. We're gonna ease
- 1:17:54Speaker 6: you to come in and talk about it.
- 1:17:56Speaker 18: You know, you want to come in before school tomorrow
- 1:17:58Speaker 18: or after school today, or you want to handle this.
- 1:18:01Speaker 18: He said, well, no, you got to come right now
- 1:18:02Speaker 18: because your son's not going to be able to stay
- 1:18:04Speaker 18: in school today.
- 1:18:06Speaker 6: I said, well, you just told me he was fine.
- 1:18:07Speaker 18: Oh no, no, no, he is fine, sir, but he's going
- 1:18:10Speaker 18: to have to be removed from school today. So, not
- 1:18:12Speaker 18: fully understanding what the problem is, I leave work and
- 1:18:16Speaker 18: I go to the school to have our little sit down.
- 1:18:18Speaker 3: Pow wow.
- 1:18:19Speaker 18: And you got the principal, you got the assistant principal,
- 1:18:21Speaker 18: you got a counselor, you got a school nurse, and
- 1:18:24Speaker 18: you got my son, and you got this other kid.
- 1:18:27Speaker 17: Okay.
- 1:18:27Speaker 18: And I look at my son and I say, you
- 1:18:29Speaker 18: all right, son?
- 1:18:29Speaker 6: He said, yes, sir, He said, all right.
- 1:18:32Speaker 18: The principal, you know, kind of steps in between and
- 1:18:35Speaker 18: starts talking. I said, this, sir, hold on, I said something,
- 1:18:37Speaker 18: what happened here today? My son proceeds to telling me
- 1:18:39Speaker 18: the story. He said, this kid right here was picking
- 1:18:41Speaker 18: on me a recess and he wouldn't stop. And I said, son,
- 1:18:45Speaker 18: did you ask him to stop picking on you? He
- 1:18:48Speaker 18: said yes, Sir. I said, how many times did you
- 1:18:51Speaker 18: ask him to stop picking on you? He said one time, Sir.
- 1:18:54Speaker 18: Did he hear you ask? He said, yes, Sir, he did.
- 1:18:57Speaker 18: I turned to the principal and I says, hey, so
- 1:19:00Speaker 18: what's the problem.
- 1:19:01Speaker 3: Is the problem?
- 1:19:01Speaker 18: The principle goes on to tell me, look, we cannot
- 1:19:04Speaker 18: promote this kind of behavior in the schools, and I said,
- 1:19:08Speaker 18: I agree completely. Bullians should be reprimanded for their actions.
- 1:19:12Speaker 18: I have absolutely no discord with that. I agree with
- 1:19:15Speaker 18: one hundred percent. Kind of puzzled, the principal looks at me.
- 1:19:20Speaker 18: He says, no, no, well, yeah, you can't have bullying,
- 1:19:24Speaker 18: but we can't have fighting in school. The kid was
- 1:19:27Speaker 18: bullying my son. My son asked the child to stop.
- 1:19:31Speaker 18: The child did not, and he felt the repercussions of
- 1:19:34Speaker 18: his actions. I don't see the problem here. He said,
- 1:19:37Speaker 18: we have a zero tolerance for fighting. I said, this
- 1:19:39Speaker 18: wasn't a fight. Clearly, my son beat the crap out
- 1:19:41Speaker 18: of this kid, this bully. He said, your son's going
- 1:19:45Speaker 18: to be suspended for three days.
- 1:19:47Speaker 13: He said, is that so?
- 1:19:49Speaker 18: Said, yes, sir, we can't have fighting in the school,
- 1:19:52Speaker 18: no matter what. He should have told a teacher, Well,
- 1:19:54Speaker 18: what was the kid doing to bullying? He said, well,
- 1:19:56Speaker 18: we don't exactly know. And I said, so, how do
- 1:19:58Speaker 18: you know that he was able to tell a teacher?
- 1:20:00Speaker 18: What if the key was in his way, what if
- 1:20:01Speaker 18: the key was pushing him? What if the kid had
- 1:20:03Speaker 18: hands on my son? I said, if you don't know
- 1:20:05Speaker 18: the situation, how are you gonna reprimand my son when
- 1:20:07Speaker 18: you don't know what happened? Zero tolerance policy, Sir, he's
- 1:20:10Speaker 18: got a three day suspension. I said, that's fine, had
- 1:20:13Speaker 18: a problem at all. I turned to my son. I
- 1:20:15Speaker 18: looked at the kid that he beat up and the
- 1:20:17Speaker 18: kid that he beat up. I said, son, I'll tell
- 1:20:21Speaker 18: you one thing. You think twice before you bully my
- 1:20:23Speaker 18: son again. I turned to my son. I gave him
- 1:20:25Speaker 18: Nuughing was right there in the principal's office in front
- 1:20:26Speaker 18: of everybody. I said, son, I'm proud of you. I said,
- 1:20:28Speaker 18: you are suspended from school for three days. I said,
- 1:20:30Speaker 18: you got a three day vacation. It's hunt in the season.
- 1:20:32Speaker 18: Let's get out of here.
- 1:20:35Speaker 3: I love this story, but it also enrages me, so
- 1:20:39Speaker 3: a couple of things. So basically, the guy's five year
- 1:20:42Speaker 3: old son, here's what I love about this guy them.
- 1:20:44Speaker 3: You know, he's a good dad. First of all, he
- 1:20:46Speaker 3: recorded this in a pickup truck. Yeah, no doubt yet,
- 1:20:50Speaker 3: as if that was if there was any question.
- 1:20:52Speaker 6: He's a hunting man.
- 1:20:53Speaker 3: And he sounds like sounds like a little Louisiana accent. Yeah,
- 1:20:56Speaker 3: just a little bit of that South Louisiana accent. But
- 1:21:00Speaker 3: clearly this guy, even at five years old, you know,
- 1:21:03Speaker 3: told his son, here's how you handle the bullies. And
- 1:21:06Speaker 3: I mean, this dad is like the quintessential American dad,
- 1:21:11Speaker 3: you know, raising up the child in the way he
- 1:21:13Speaker 3: should go. But the school, this is insane. They had
- 1:21:18Speaker 3: the zero tolerance policy. So the bully does not get
- 1:21:21Speaker 3: in trouble. It's the kid who is the really not
- 1:21:24Speaker 3: a victim. It's the bully's target that gets in trouble.
- 1:21:28Speaker 3: And it seems to me that what this five year
- 1:21:31Speaker 3: old did to that boy, because apparently beat the living
- 1:21:34Speaker 3: snot out of the kid. And again, what is it?
- 1:21:36Speaker 3: One time? Two times?
- 1:21:38Speaker 13: All right?
- 1:21:39Speaker 3: Three times? It's on like Donkey Kong. And you know
- 1:21:42Speaker 3: the kid probably all wrestles alligators on the weekend. They
- 1:21:47Speaker 3: build them different in Louisiana. I'm just telling you. But
- 1:21:51Speaker 3: I just I love this story in the way that
- 1:21:53Speaker 3: Dad approached it. But here's how you know that. First
- 1:21:55Speaker 3: of all, this kid clearly was raised right. Everything was
- 1:21:58Speaker 3: yes or yes or no sir, no sir. You know
- 1:22:01Speaker 3: that by the way that is that is learned behavior.
- 1:22:04Speaker 3: You train a child like that. But I'm just curious,
- 1:22:08Speaker 3: Mom and Dad, what would what would you have done
- 1:22:10Speaker 3: in a situation like that? He said he gave him
- 1:22:13Speaker 3: the knuckles? Is that like the fist bump? I was like, wait,
- 1:22:16Speaker 3: did he hit somebody? And Dad hit somebody? I'm gonna
- 1:22:19Speaker 3: give you some knuckles. He gave a sort of fist bump.
- 1:22:23Speaker 17: Yeah.
- 1:22:23Speaker 3: I love that.
- 1:22:25Speaker 6: It's Dad of the year right here in my opinion.
- 1:22:27Speaker 3: Right, and there's three day vacation. You know that I
- 1:22:32Speaker 3: had to have just enraged the principle and I guarantee
- 1:22:36Speaker 3: you this principle is some sort of a I don't
- 1:22:40Speaker 3: know mealy mouth a little. Well, we have rules the well,
- 1:22:47Speaker 3: you know, the biggest problem with schools, I'm gonna tell you.
- 1:22:50Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you the biggest problem with schools. And
- 1:22:54Speaker 3: this I'm painting with a broad freaking brush here, but
- 1:22:58Speaker 3: it's true. Most of the people in charge of our
- 1:23:02Speaker 3: schools right now were the kids that were like the
- 1:23:06Speaker 3: mealy Mouth you know, they never could get dates, they
- 1:23:09Speaker 3: weren't good at sports, many of them were in theater,
- 1:23:15Speaker 3: and they can't deal with real life. And so they're
- 1:23:19Speaker 3: taking out all of their their their failed adventures on
- 1:23:24Speaker 3: the on the children of America. I think that's what
- 1:23:27Speaker 3: the problem here is.
- 1:23:29Speaker 6: I think that's a fair observation.
- 1:23:31Speaker 3: If you have a school, I'm just gonna say, if
- 1:23:33Speaker 3: just think about this, take a look at and there
- 1:23:36Speaker 3: are there are studies that have been done. No, I
- 1:23:39Speaker 3: don't think there are harmed, but there ought to be
- 1:23:40Speaker 3: studies done. Take a school that is that where the
- 1:23:45Speaker 3: principal was the lead actor in the high school musical.
- 1:23:49Speaker 3: And then take a school where the principal was the
- 1:23:52Speaker 3: quarterback of the high school football team. I guarantee you
- 1:23:56Speaker 3: that the football, the football coach, his team, his school
- 1:24:01Speaker 3: is going to be run like a like a like
- 1:24:03Speaker 3: an athletic team. They're gonna be rules and regulations. It's
- 1:24:08Speaker 3: everything's gonna be based on reality and not feelings. You know,
- 1:24:12Speaker 3: they're not gonna have like little drum circles and no,
- 1:24:15Speaker 3: they're not doing that kind of stuff. But I like this.
- 1:24:19Speaker 3: I like this story because it shows you that there's
- 1:24:24Speaker 3: a young man and this dad probably I guess probably
- 1:24:27Speaker 3: still in his twenties, but he's raising up. He's raising
- 1:24:31Speaker 3: up a young man at five years old. And I
- 1:24:35Speaker 3: just wish I could have been a fly on the
- 1:24:37Speaker 3: wall to see the bully, to see the bully get
- 1:24:39Speaker 3: what was coming. And you know what, I guarantee you
- 1:24:43Speaker 3: that dad's right though, because he pointed his finger at
- 1:24:45Speaker 3: the little bully and said, bet you're not gonna you're
- 1:24:47Speaker 3: not gonna touch my son again, no fear. And he
- 1:24:51Speaker 3: had to say no third because he had no teeth.
- 1:24:53Speaker 3: You know, probably teeth got knocked out, probably buld bloody
- 1:24:57Speaker 3: nose there. But I guarantee that kid won't he won't
- 1:25:01Speaker 3: do any By the way, why didn't they call the
- 1:25:03Speaker 3: parents of the bully on the other side of it, though,
- 1:25:10Speaker 3: What does it say about this school that you've got
- 1:25:12Speaker 3: this You know, you've got these principles and they're punishing
- 1:25:15Speaker 3: the kids who did the right thing. You know, I
- 1:25:18Speaker 3: guarantee you the big that punch to the nose, the
- 1:25:21Speaker 3: five year olds punched to the nose, did more to
- 1:25:24Speaker 3: stop bullying in that school than all of the rules
- 1:25:27Speaker 3: and regulations and suspensions they've been handing out, because I
- 1:25:31Speaker 3: guarantee you that kid won't lay hands on anybody else anyway.
- 1:25:35Speaker 3: I think the dad did the right thing here. What
- 1:25:37Speaker 3: say you, ladies and gentlemen. Nine oh one two six
- 1:25:39Speaker 3: zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one two
- 1:25:43Speaker 3: six zero five, nine two six. This is the Todd
- 1:25:46Speaker 3: Sterns Show. All right, Welcome back, everybody. This is the
- 1:26:02Speaker 3: Toime Sterns Radio Show. Let's go to the phone lines, Memphis, Tennessee.
- 1:26:06Speaker 3: Chris is listening to us on k W A M
- 1:26:09Speaker 3: K Wham, Hi, Chris, what's on your mind today?
- 1:26:14Speaker 19: I just wanted to say, the father should have asked
- 1:26:19Speaker 19: the uh the principle what his no tolerance policy was
- 1:26:25Speaker 19: for bullying, and if he said nothing, then I would
- 1:26:29Speaker 19: have said, well.
- 1:26:30Speaker 20: I guess you've already gotten your punished slips for today.
- 1:26:35Speaker 3: There you go, Chris. It's that's a it's a great
- 1:26:38Speaker 3: it's a great point. And I just remember I grew
- 1:26:41Speaker 3: up in the seventies and eighties, and so we always
- 1:26:44Speaker 3: settled those things out on the on the playground, you know,
- 1:26:47Speaker 3: during recess. And I'm not sure anything really escalated to
- 1:26:51Speaker 3: the principal's office back in the day, but you know,
- 1:26:53Speaker 3: it was kind of rough and rough and tumble at
- 1:26:55Speaker 3: hope he solved in the elementary school. I don't know
- 1:26:58Speaker 3: what it was like in your in your growing up here,
- 1:27:02Speaker 3: well as I growing up here.
- 1:27:03Speaker 20: As I saw a big guy kicking on a little guy,
- 1:27:05Speaker 20: and I was pretty athletic as by faint, so I
- 1:27:09Speaker 20: just said, hey, you know, you're a lot segging him
- 1:27:12Speaker 20: what he didn't thinking on him, and they and he started.
- 1:27:15Speaker 15: Picking on me.
- 1:27:16Speaker 19: I guess he was just mad about something else.
- 1:27:20Speaker 20: So he wanted me to go out and fight. So
- 1:27:22Speaker 20: I went out there and let him swing at me.
- 1:27:25Speaker 19: And I didn't really hit him. But you know, sometimes
- 1:27:28Speaker 19: people are just mad about.
- 1:27:30Speaker 20: Something that has nothing to do with the present day.
- 1:27:35Speaker 4: Who knows, I thot the.
- 1:27:39Speaker 19: Father did to that thing.
- 1:27:40Speaker 3: Yeah, Chris, be sure knew the speed limit and I
- 1:27:43Speaker 3: heard the little voice. What fifty five miles an hour?
- 1:27:47Speaker 19: Well, I'm the biggest stress place, so if I went
- 1:27:51Speaker 19: fifty five miles an hour, someone.
- 1:27:53Speaker 4: Would rear in me.
- 1:27:54Speaker 3: Chris, Please tell are you on I two forty by
- 1:27:56Speaker 3: any chance?
- 1:27:59Speaker 19: I am.
- 1:28:00Speaker 3: So this is what bothered This is what bothers me about,
- 1:28:03Speaker 3: because my car does the same thing to me. And
- 1:28:05Speaker 3: the fact of the matter is nobody's driving. Nobody's driving
- 1:28:09Speaker 3: fifty five miles an hour on on I two forty.
- 1:28:11Speaker 3: They will run you over.
- 1:28:15Speaker 12: That's exactly right, even the grannies.
- 1:28:23Speaker 3: Oh yes, all right.
- 1:28:25Speaker 20: My friend, my friend's only saw my mother driving and
- 1:28:29Speaker 20: he's about eighty eight.
- 1:28:31Speaker 4: And you were last. You needed to go down the way.
- 1:28:35Speaker 19: So right now Mill Street just made a big U turn.
- 1:28:42Speaker 15: Right.
- 1:28:43Speaker 3: That's great, that's the that's the way it is, all right, Chris,
- 1:28:47Speaker 3: thanks for calling in. You'd be saved out there. And
- 1:28:50Speaker 3: watch for the popo so they'll they're running radar nine
- 1:28:54Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six. By
- 1:28:57Speaker 3: the way, I gotta I shouldn't have done that. I'm
- 1:28:59Speaker 3: gonna get another text message someone for the police to
- 1:29:02Speaker 3: bar is like really really sterns, you're killing us here.
- 1:29:05Speaker 6: It's the most relatable thing I've ever heard as a
- 1:29:08Speaker 6: Memphian that is so relatable.
- 1:29:09Speaker 3: As soon as he said fifty five, I'm like that,
- 1:29:11Speaker 3: dude's on I two forty. It's exactly where it is
- 1:29:15Speaker 3: because you can't seriously, nobody drives, and that's what I
- 1:29:18Speaker 3: you know, I was asking the highway patrol bad and
- 1:29:21Speaker 3: one of the state troopers like, yeah, dude, we don't
- 1:29:24Speaker 3: get it. I mean, so, and my question to them is,
- 1:29:27Speaker 3: all right, do you really pull people over going sixty
- 1:29:29Speaker 3: five because that's what you have to drive and you're
- 1:29:32Speaker 3: still not even keeping up with traffic at sixty five?
- 1:29:35Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, and he talked to a police officer.
- 1:29:38Speaker 6: Most of them will be pretty lenient, like ten miles
- 1:29:40Speaker 6: an hour over the speed limits. So what you're saying, yeah,
- 1:29:42Speaker 6: I mean, seventy five is the norm on I two forty.
- 1:29:45Speaker 6: Yeah's just the norm.
- 1:29:46Speaker 3: It is. It's so this is why I'm excited about
- 1:29:50Speaker 3: driving to Arkansas. You know, tex Arcane. You got to
- 1:29:53Speaker 3: drive up through Little Rock and it's like seventy five
- 1:29:55Speaker 3: miles an hour, which means you can go eighty five.
- 1:29:58Speaker 3: And I don't know if there's any other place there.
- 1:30:00Speaker 3: There was some place in Kansas or Iowa where it's like,
- 1:30:02Speaker 3: you know, you can drive. How we're fanst you want
- 1:30:04Speaker 3: to drive? Nobody cares.
- 1:30:06Speaker 6: We need one of the We need the Autobahn, that
- 1:30:09Speaker 6: highway in Germany. That's what we need.
- 1:30:11Speaker 3: We kind of have it already, but it's not official.
- 1:30:13Speaker 3: It's not official. All right. Nine oh one two six
- 1:30:18Speaker 3: zero five, nine two six is our telephone over? That's
- 1:30:21Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five to nine two six.
- 1:30:24Speaker 3: I want to play some audio for you. Uh where
- 1:30:28Speaker 3: did Sorry? I'm just she's oh, yes, here we go. Uh.
- 1:30:34Speaker 3: This is Tucker Carlson doing an interview with Sky News
- 1:30:40Speaker 3: talking about the Mega brand cut thirty one place.
- 1:30:43Speaker 5: I want to talk where this leaves the future of
- 1:30:46Speaker 5: the Mega movement.
- 1:30:49Speaker 3: I mean the future of the MAGA.
- 1:30:51Speaker 4: Well that's over.
- 1:30:52Speaker 3: There's no future of the mag of movement.
- 1:30:54Speaker 7: Obviously we're done. This will cause the NY it doesn't.
- 1:30:59Speaker 7: I mean, what is the MAGA movement? Trump has defined
- 1:31:01Speaker 7: it as whatever he wants? What without a movement? That's
- 1:31:04Speaker 7: a tick, that's a preference. It's like, what do I
- 1:31:07Speaker 7: feel like having for breakfast this morning? Let's say it's,
- 1:31:09Speaker 7: you know, the pancake movement. It'll be Exbenedic movement tomorrow.
- 1:31:13Speaker 7: Like it's not a movement, you know, it's just like
- 1:31:15Speaker 7: a it's a desire.
- 1:31:17Speaker 9: But you believed in it.
- 1:31:19Speaker 7: Well, I never understood what it was. No, I never
- 1:31:21Speaker 7: believed in MAGA. I believe in making America great again.
- 1:31:23Speaker 7: I certainly believe in its literal definition, but its operational
- 1:31:27Speaker 7: definition was never clear. What I believe in is putting
- 1:31:30Speaker 7: your country first. If you're leading your country, of course,
- 1:31:33Speaker 7: it's concerns are at the top of your list of concerns,
- 1:31:36Speaker 7: in the same way that your children's concerns are more important.
- 1:31:39Speaker 7: Your children's needs are more important to you as a
- 1:31:42Speaker 7: parent than your neighbors kids needs and concerns. You're the parent.
- 1:31:47Speaker 7: That's nature again, that's just natural. There's something crazy. You're
- 1:31:50Speaker 7: fascistic about that. In fact, any other form of government
- 1:31:53Speaker 7: is crazy and fascistic. Every other form of government is tyranny.
- 1:31:57Speaker 7: That's the only legitimate form of government where the leaders
- 1:32:00Speaker 7: put not to the exclusion of everyone else's concerns. Like
- 1:32:03Speaker 7: you don't have to hate your neighbor's kids to love
- 1:32:05Speaker 7: your own.
- 1:32:05Speaker 3: You can love all kids.
- 1:32:07Speaker 7: But if it comes down to it, you put your
- 1:32:09Speaker 7: kids first because you're their parent. And that same worldview
- 1:32:12Speaker 7: has to be the way that US government operates in
- 1:32:15Speaker 7: order to be legitimate. And that's what America First means.
- 1:32:19Speaker 7: And so I will never stop believing that. I think
- 1:32:21Speaker 7: every other American believes that too. The phrase America first
- 1:32:24Speaker 7: scares people because it's like Nazi or something, but in
- 1:32:27Speaker 7: real life, there's no other way to run a government.
- 1:32:30Speaker 7: And I still believe that. And this war was the
- 1:32:33Speaker 7: most obvious betrayal of that. We didn't go to war
- 1:32:35Speaker 7: to protect our own interest. We went to war to
- 1:32:37Speaker 7: serve Israel's interests. They've said that out loud. So this
- 1:32:40Speaker 7: is not a conspiracy theory. That's contemptible, that's wrong.
- 1:32:45Speaker 3: So I'm just curious here to hear your thoughts on this.
- 1:32:48Speaker 3: Do you still I mean, does Tucker Carlson's opinion still
- 1:32:51Speaker 3: matter to you? And did it ever matter to you?
- 1:32:54Speaker 3: I mean for some people he was like, well, you know,
- 1:32:55Speaker 3: the guy's an entertainer on TV. Is just saying stuff
- 1:32:58Speaker 3: to get a rise out of people. Oh maybe that's
- 1:33:00Speaker 3: what he's doing. Now, maybe this is maybe this is
- 1:33:03Speaker 3: you know, all make believe because at some point, you know,
- 1:33:06Speaker 3: you have to. And I don't know if Tucker's actually
- 1:33:09Speaker 3: sat down and explained his metamorphosis going from a rock solid,
- 1:33:13Speaker 3: regular Republican conservative to where he is now, because he
- 1:33:19Speaker 3: has changed his viewpoint on just about every single thing,
- 1:33:24Speaker 3: every single thing that he has done. Nine oh one
- 1:33:28Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six is our number.
- 1:33:31Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 1:33:34Speaker 3: I still go back to the interview he did a
- 1:33:36Speaker 3: few years ago where he said that in the middle
- 1:33:39Speaker 3: of the night he was attacked by physically attacked by demons,
- 1:33:42Speaker 3: and a lot of people were making fun of him.
- 1:33:44Speaker 3: Maybe they they didn't believe him. I actually believe this.
- 1:33:49Speaker 3: I believed what he said, and he said that he
- 1:33:52Speaker 3: was literally cut up, his body was cut up by
- 1:33:56Speaker 3: the demons he was fighting them. So I don't know
- 1:34:00Speaker 3: if there's something else going on there. But the issue
- 1:34:02Speaker 3: here is he's got millions and millions of followers. I
- 1:34:05Speaker 3: think seventeen million followers, so he's got a huge audience.
- 1:34:09Speaker 3: The question is are they still influenced by what Tucker
- 1:34:13Speaker 3: Carlson has to say?
- 1:34:14Speaker 17: Now?
- 1:34:14Speaker 3: I know one two six zero five nine two six.
- 1:34:17Speaker 3: We'll be right back. All right, Welcome back to the
- 1:34:31Speaker 3: Todd Starns Radio Show. Let's get to the phones real
- 1:34:34Speaker 3: quick here. Carrie in Memphis, Tennessee, listening to us on KWAM,
- 1:34:39Speaker 3: wants to weigh in on those cops in that speed limit. Hey, carry,
- 1:34:42Speaker 3: what's you got for us? Hey?
- 1:34:44Speaker 21: I just wanted to say, if you ever out on
- 1:34:47Speaker 21: the highway and you see a cop coming from the
- 1:34:50Speaker 21: every direction, don't ever hit the break. Do not ever
- 1:34:54Speaker 21: hit the break. Just take your foot off the gas
- 1:34:57Speaker 21: and set it in the floor. But if you that
- 1:35:00Speaker 21: break and they look up in their rear view mirror
- 1:35:03Speaker 21: and see that break, like come on, they treat that
- 1:35:06Speaker 21: as a confession that you've done something wrong.
- 1:35:09Speaker 3: That's yeah. You've got to make sure you don't appear
- 1:35:12Speaker 3: to be guilty on the roadway, Is that right, Carrie?
- 1:35:15Speaker 21: Yeah?
- 1:35:17Speaker 3: I love that. My favorite is when there's somebody going,
- 1:35:19Speaker 3: you know, twenty miles over the speedblemit passing you. The
- 1:35:23Speaker 3: cops coming to the other way and the next thing
- 1:35:25Speaker 3: you know, they're slamming on the brakes and they're in
- 1:35:27Speaker 3: your rear view mirror.
- 1:35:30Speaker 21: Well, one of my favorites was I actually, you know,
- 1:35:33Speaker 21: got behind somebody who was staying on that inside lane
- 1:35:37Speaker 21: one time, and all of a sudden I looked up.
- 1:35:40Speaker 21: There's a cop from behind, and he's after that person
- 1:35:45Speaker 21: that stayed in has been in that inside lane for
- 1:35:49Speaker 21: like forever since I've been behind him, which is at
- 1:35:52Speaker 21: least probably a good and a fifteen minutes.
- 1:35:58Speaker 3: I'll Carrie, I I love it. This is great advice.
- 1:36:02Speaker 3: I think you've just saved a lot of people from
- 1:36:04Speaker 3: getting a ticket out on the roadways. God bless you
- 1:36:07Speaker 3: carry your great American Patriot nine oh one two six
- 1:36:11Speaker 3: zero five nine two six hour telephone number. Well, there
- 1:36:15Speaker 3: is a lot happening in our nation's capital in Washington, DC.
- 1:36:20Speaker 3: Bill Cassidy, the Senator from Louisiana, really making a jerk
- 1:36:25Speaker 3: of himself in front of the President of the United States,
- 1:36:28Speaker 3: and I want to go to our Patriot mobile newsmaker line.
- 1:36:30Speaker 3: We're honored to have John Fleming with us, who is
- 1:36:33Speaker 3: running to replace Bill Cassidy in the Senate. He's in
- 1:36:37Speaker 3: a very very hot runoff battle right now. John, good
- 1:36:42Speaker 3: to have you with us today.
- 1:36:45Speaker 15: Thanks, Ton, it's great to be with you today.
- 1:36:47Speaker 3: I wanted to get your reaction to what happened yesterday
- 1:36:51Speaker 3: in the Senate Luncheon. I've had a chance to talk
- 1:36:54Speaker 3: to some individuals who were in that room, and they
- 1:36:57Speaker 3: said it was just really inappropriate the way Senator Cassidy
- 1:37:00Speaker 3: behave towards the President of the United States.
- 1:37:04Speaker 15: Well, Todd, to be honest with you, I wasn't there,
- 1:37:07Speaker 15: and I haven't seen anything in the media about it.
- 1:37:10Speaker 15: I think that passions are running high on this issue
- 1:37:14Speaker 15: of how long should the president have more or less
- 1:37:19Speaker 15: absolute power in this We all know that the president
- 1:37:24Speaker 15: can initiate action because oftentimes there's not enough time to
- 1:37:29Speaker 15: go through Congress and get consent. But we know that
- 1:37:32Speaker 15: over time there needs to be questions asked about should
- 1:37:36Speaker 15: there be some limits. Of course, Congress and a significant conflict,
- 1:37:41Speaker 15: really like this one, where there's a lot of expenditure
- 1:37:44Speaker 15: of explosives, there has to be cost, new cost, and
- 1:37:48Speaker 15: more appropriation. But it sounds like things got fixed because
- 1:37:53Speaker 15: they did go back and vote again and apparently gave
- 1:37:57Speaker 15: President Trump the ability to continue.
- 1:38:00Speaker 6: With what he's doing.
- 1:38:00Speaker 15: And I support what he's doing because he's using military, economic,
- 1:38:05Speaker 15: and political pressure to get the Iranians to the table
- 1:38:10Speaker 15: and hopefully get rid of that enrich uranium in those bombs.
- 1:38:14Speaker 3: I think the big question in the minds of a
- 1:38:17Speaker 3: lot of voters, and really the way it is being
- 1:38:19Speaker 3: framed nationally, whether it's fair or not, is you know
- 1:38:22Speaker 3: who is going to be the Trump Conservative, who is
- 1:38:25Speaker 3: going to be that America first conservative in the Senate runoff?
- 1:38:29Speaker 3: How do you respond to that?
- 1:38:32Speaker 15: Well, I clearly have the most conservative voting record. Of course,
- 1:38:36Speaker 15: my opponent, Julia Letlowe, on conservative scales over hundreds, really thousands,
- 1:38:42Speaker 15: i should say votes in her five years in the
- 1:38:45Speaker 15: House and my eight years in the House, she scores
- 1:38:48Speaker 15: in the sixties and seventy percentile when it comes to
- 1:38:53Speaker 15: votes for conservative things, My rating is well into the nineties,
- 1:38:57Speaker 15: ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven percent, depending on whether
- 1:39:00Speaker 15: you're talking about border security or taxation or whatever. So
- 1:39:05Speaker 15: clearly I'm more conservative by history. There's nobody has any
- 1:39:09Speaker 15: doubt about that. But even more Julia Leedloe has made
- 1:39:12Speaker 15: a big deal in her support of DEI diversity, equity
- 1:39:15Speaker 15: and inclusion, which we know to be a Marxist socialist
- 1:39:19Speaker 15: theory that basically awards jobs and admissions to colleges based
- 1:39:25Speaker 15: on the color of your skin, perhaps or your gender,
- 1:39:29Speaker 15: whereas most of US here in the United States, and
- 1:39:32Speaker 15: certainly conservative Republicans believe it should be your abilities, your
- 1:39:37Speaker 15: proven capabilities, and what kind of standards that you have
- 1:39:40Speaker 15: met for that job. So that and also her support
- 1:39:45Speaker 15: of the us AID foreign support from appropriations to send
- 1:39:51Speaker 15: money overseas that will support abortions, gender reidentification surgery for children,
- 1:39:58Speaker 15: and other woke type of activities. Clearly she's in the
- 1:40:02Speaker 15: left wing liberal category. I of course, am in the
- 1:40:05Speaker 15: conservative and really have the most conservative voting record even
- 1:40:09Speaker 15: among the delegation that's there today.
- 1:40:12Speaker 3: You know, one of the big and I'm going to
- 1:40:14Speaker 3: get to the carbon capture subsidies in just a moment,
- 1:40:18Speaker 3: and the green energy scam because you guys take a
- 1:40:21Speaker 3: very different approach to that, and I think that's an
- 1:40:23Speaker 3: interesting point. I'm going to get to that in a moment.
- 1:40:25Speaker 3: But again, the other big issue here is the Save
- 1:40:28Speaker 3: America Act and exactly you know, you know, exactly the
- 1:40:33Speaker 3: role of senators like Senator Cassidy and others who are
- 1:40:38Speaker 3: not necessarily advancing the president's agenda. If you are elected,
- 1:40:44Speaker 3: are you going to do your gut level best to
- 1:40:46Speaker 3: advance the president's agenda?
- 1:40:49Speaker 15: Absolutely, Todd, I'm committed to that. I've said that throughout
- 1:40:52Speaker 15: this campaign. The Save America Act is absolutely necessary. This
- 1:40:57Speaker 15: requires all fifty states to check your government ID when
- 1:41:03Speaker 15: you vote, to be sure you have the opportunity to
- 1:41:06Speaker 15: vote if you're a citizen, and on the other hand,
- 1:41:09Speaker 15: that you can't vote more than once. So this is
- 1:41:12Speaker 15: absolute necessity. How we get there is difficult because there are,
- 1:41:17Speaker 15: as you say, even Republicans in the Senate who are
- 1:41:20Speaker 15: not on board with Save America Act, and we've got
- 1:41:24Speaker 15: to get them on board. And I'm certainly supporting anything necessary,
- 1:41:29Speaker 15: whether it's a talking filibuster, which Senator Lee is talking about,
- 1:41:33Speaker 15: and other actions. Whatever we've got to do to get it,
- 1:41:36Speaker 15: we need to do it, and we need to do
- 1:41:37Speaker 15: it now. And I support the President in this.
- 1:41:40Speaker 3: We have doctor John Fleming with US Louisiana's Treasurer in
- 1:41:43Speaker 3: a fierce runoff battle to be the next senator really
- 1:41:47Speaker 3: from the great state of Louisiana. That's pretty much a given.
- 1:41:50Speaker 3: Whoever the Republican is will be the next Senator Fox
- 1:41:54Speaker 3: and Fox and New Orleans, Sir says, and these are
- 1:41:58Speaker 3: very interesting numbers. Let Low led the primary by about
- 1:42:01Speaker 3: seventeen points. You've got your poll out there that puts
- 1:42:06Speaker 3: you five points ahead of let Low. But Fox is
- 1:42:08Speaker 3: saying that this is an incredibly close race. So I'm
- 1:42:11Speaker 3: wondering what happened between primary day and where we are now.
- 1:42:16Speaker 3: Clearly people are liking the message that you have out there.
- 1:42:21Speaker 15: Yes, you know, the dynamic in the first go around
- 1:42:24Speaker 15: the primary was more about stopping Cassidy from being re elected.
- 1:42:29Speaker 15: I heard it over and over and over, the refrain anybody,
- 1:42:33Speaker 15: anybody but Cassidy, and people have been telling me, just
- 1:42:37Speaker 15: a guy yesterday said I voted for Letlow because I
- 1:42:40Speaker 15: knew that was the way to stop Cassidy.
- 1:42:42Speaker 6: They didn't.
- 1:42:43Speaker 15: It really didn't matter to them. But now in the runoff,
- 1:42:46Speaker 15: they're actually comparing us side by side, the two candidates,
- 1:42:50Speaker 15: let Low and Fleming, and they're looking at my record,
- 1:42:52Speaker 15: my background, which is broad and deep, both in government
- 1:42:56Speaker 15: and the private sector, and they're saying, ah, you know,
- 1:43:00Speaker 15: we have one candidate here who's truly aligned with the
- 1:43:03Speaker 15: MAGA America First style of government with Trump and so forth,
- 1:43:08Speaker 15: which is me and a conservative voting record. And then
- 1:43:11Speaker 15: we have Julia Ledlow, who again is much more attached
- 1:43:15Speaker 15: to the left wing and so they're saying, well, look
- 1:43:18Speaker 15: at a conservative red state like Louisiana, we got to
- 1:43:21Speaker 15: go with Fleming.
- 1:43:23Speaker 3: I want to circle back here to the issue regarding
- 1:43:28Speaker 3: carbon capture subsidies, and this has been a big, big issue.
- 1:43:34Speaker 3: The one Louisiana news publication said that you're using this
- 1:43:39Speaker 3: to really set yourself apart from everybody else by railing
- 1:43:44Speaker 3: against the carbon capture. What say you, I'm.
- 1:43:49Speaker 15: Not using it for anything. I think that this is
- 1:43:52Speaker 15: a very controversial issue. And I climbed on board to
- 1:43:56Speaker 15: oppose carbon caption sequestration when nobody knew whether it would
- 1:44:01Speaker 15: be favored or unfavored. I didn't do any polling, I
- 1:44:05Speaker 15: didn't do any group analysis or anything like that. I
- 1:44:09Speaker 15: just said, look, I've always been against subsidies for wind,
- 1:44:13Speaker 15: subsidies for solar, and all that's being wiped away by
- 1:44:17Speaker 15: President Trump. And then I hear about carbon capture and
- 1:44:20Speaker 15: putting this toxic carbon dioxide in the ground in Louisiana
- 1:44:24Speaker 15: paid for by taxpayers. Nobody else is paying for it
- 1:44:27Speaker 15: but taxpayers in the forty five Q tax credits, and
- 1:44:30Speaker 15: I go, this is the craziest among all the crazy ideas.
- 1:44:34Speaker 15: Of course, we're talking about the Green New Deal scams
- 1:44:38Speaker 15: that President Trump talks about. So as soon as I
- 1:44:41Speaker 15: heard about it, I immediately came out and posted and posted
- 1:44:44Speaker 15: ever since. As it turns out, most of Louisiana is
- 1:44:48Speaker 15: on my side with this because the only people benefiting
- 1:44:51Speaker 15: from it are the wealthy and the powerful politicians, not
- 1:44:55Speaker 15: the people of Louisiana.
- 1:44:57Speaker 3: All right, well, election today is what Saturday? And folks
- 1:45:01Speaker 3: at the website flemingsenatecampaign dot com, that's Fleming Senate campaign
- 1:45:05Speaker 3: dot com, be sure to check that out, doctor Fleming.
- 1:45:08Speaker 3: Best of luck to you, sir.
- 1:45:10Speaker 15: Always a pleasure, Todd, thank you so much for having
- 1:45:13Speaker 15: me on.
- 1:45:13Speaker 3: All right, there you go, ladies and gentlemen. So another
- 1:45:17Speaker 3: contentious Republican primary battle. They're expecting low turnout, so it's
- 1:45:21Speaker 3: whoever can get their people onto the polls we'll end
- 1:45:25Speaker 3: up winning there. All right, let's go to the phones
- 1:45:28Speaker 3: here nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 1:45:32Speaker 3: Say hello to John from Dawsonville, Georgia. Hi, John, what's
- 1:45:37Speaker 3: on your mind?
- 1:45:39Speaker 10: Got your friend your old die Terry H Advisor TOJN
- 1:45:45Speaker 10: from Dawsonville.
- 1:45:47Speaker 3: Yes, sir, good to have you with us. What's on
- 1:45:49Speaker 3: your mind? John, we've got a lot of folks waiting
- 1:45:51Speaker 3: to hop on.
- 1:45:53Speaker 10: Okay, you're talking about speed limits. I just wanted to
- 1:45:56Speaker 10: warn you that if you're in Texas, there's a lot
- 1:46:00Speaker 10: of speed limits are pretty high there, like a little
- 1:46:05Speaker 10: two lane black top that would be fifty five. Most
- 1:46:08Speaker 10: places there they're seventy. But the warning is if you
- 1:46:13Speaker 10: go seventy two, the state troopers will pull you over.
- 1:46:17Speaker 10: And they won't just pull you over, they'll give you
- 1:46:19Speaker 10: a ticket. So the speed limits are higher, but you
- 1:46:22Speaker 10: better stay within them because they don't give you any leeway.
- 1:46:26Speaker 3: Is that right? No, I had no idea. It's interesting
- 1:46:29Speaker 3: the speaking of Texas, the highest speed limit in the
- 1:46:33Speaker 3: United States is actually found on a specific forty mile
- 1:46:39Speaker 3: stretch of a state highway in Texas. It's Highway one
- 1:46:42Speaker 3: point thirty eighty five miles an hour. That's the speed limit.
- 1:46:47Speaker 3: There are some states I think out I think most
- 1:46:50Speaker 3: of them are out west Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, and Utah,
- 1:46:56Speaker 3: and this maximum speed limit there is eighty miles an hour.
- 1:47:01Speaker 10: Yeah, I was on a toe road. I got on
- 1:47:04Speaker 10: the toe road somewhere down in central Texas when I
- 1:47:08Speaker 10: was last time I was there, and sure enough. When
- 1:47:11Speaker 10: I pulled onto that tow road, it says speed limbit
- 1:47:13Speaker 10: eighty five. I said, man, that's great.
- 1:47:16Speaker 3: Wow, but don't go as don't go a mile over it,
- 1:47:19Speaker 3: or they'll pull you over.
- 1:47:22Speaker 10: If you go two miles over the speed limit, they'll
- 1:47:24Speaker 10: pull you over and give you a ticket.
- 1:47:26Speaker 3: Yikes, that's not good.
- 1:47:27Speaker 10: They might give you one mile an hour, but not too.
- 1:47:30Speaker 3: Wow. You know we've got that problem here. It's called Germantown,
- 1:47:34Speaker 3: the community I live in. You hit that Germantown city
- 1:47:37Speaker 3: limit and you're driving anywhere I think forty two. I
- 1:47:40Speaker 3: think you're right. Two miles over the spin, they'll pull
- 1:47:42Speaker 3: you over and they're waiting. I know where they Dylan,
- 1:47:47Speaker 3: and I know where they hide. They're in the bushes.
- 1:47:49Speaker 6: I know exactly where they hide.
- 1:47:52Speaker 3: They get a lot of people too.
- 1:47:54Speaker 6: Oh, I know they've almost gotten me.
- 1:47:56Speaker 3: And I get people. They honked the horn. Get out
- 1:47:59Speaker 3: of the old man, and I'm because you have to
- 1:48:02Speaker 3: drive forty and if you don't, they'll pull you over.
- 1:48:05Speaker 3: That's how they make their money.
- 1:48:06Speaker 6: This is very true. They don't mess around.
- 1:48:08Speaker 3: No, they do not. So you're gonna wear out some
- 1:48:11Speaker 3: brake pads. Just hit that hit those brakes. All right,
- 1:48:15Speaker 3: let's go to Richard and o'calla Florida woc A. Hi, Richard,
- 1:48:19Speaker 3: what's going on?
- 1:48:21Speaker 22: Got he? Mister Todd, I'll just enjoy listening to the
- 1:48:24Speaker 22: old guys. Appreciate you taking my call. Talk to you.
- 1:48:27Speaker 22: Something about Tucker Carson. Carson, I don't believe he's conservative,
- 1:48:31Speaker 22: and I don't believe he has been for years. I
- 1:48:34Speaker 22: remembered something I seen on television. I don't by the way,
- 1:48:37Speaker 22: I don't have a TV have it most of my life,
- 1:48:39Speaker 22: but I've had some friend's house back in two twenty
- 1:48:43Speaker 22: when they stole the election. Well, anybody with half a
- 1:48:46Speaker 22: brain the third of it work and knew that Trump
- 1:48:48Speaker 22: won that election with the biggest landslide and history up
- 1:48:51Speaker 22: to that point. And there was a guy named Rudy Giuliani,
- 1:48:55Speaker 22: you know, the next mayor from Yeah. There was some
- 1:48:59Speaker 22: lady I forget her name, and they were searching for evidence.
- 1:49:03Speaker 22: They went to Europe, they went different places, and they
- 1:49:05Speaker 22: gathered all kind of evidence, and they was presenting it
- 1:49:08Speaker 22: that it was absolutely, without a shadow of doubt that
- 1:49:11Speaker 22: that was being stolen. And they showed us how it was.
- 1:49:14Speaker 22: And Tucker, I remember distinctly. I got very frost upset
- 1:49:17Speaker 22: at him. He was mocking her, putting her down on television,
- 1:49:22Speaker 22: calling her a liar. Basically, I forget this the exact
- 1:49:25Speaker 22: words he used, but belittle in her. And I knew
- 1:49:29Speaker 22: then that Tucker was on the wrong side, because anybody
- 1:49:32Speaker 22: that kept up with it knew that Trump on that election.
- 1:49:36Speaker 22: And I realized then that Tucker was not a conservative
- 1:49:40Speaker 22: and he's on the left hand side. And that's just
- 1:49:43Speaker 22: my opinion on that. And another thing, if I got
- 1:49:46Speaker 22: a minute, all this, Carris, these people that stands up
- 1:49:51Speaker 22: for the Palestine, so called Palestinians or never been a
- 1:49:54Speaker 22: Palestini nation history of the world, all of that is
- 1:49:57Speaker 22: pushed by the Communist They are backed by the so
- 1:50:00Speaker 22: which was a Russian They are backed by the Communist
- 1:50:03Speaker 22: and that's hand in hand what they're doing to destroy us.
- 1:50:06Speaker 22: It's not just the so called Palestinians and the terrorist group.
- 1:50:10Speaker 22: They're backed by communist Russia.
- 1:50:13Speaker 3: Oh well, that's that is interesting. Look, I want to
- 1:50:17Speaker 3: go out to Tucker for a second, Richard, And the
- 1:50:20Speaker 3: reality is, at the end of the day, I really
- 1:50:22Speaker 3: don't I've never really took Tucker's opinion for much. I mean,
- 1:50:27Speaker 3: it's his opinion. And the problem though, and there are
- 1:50:30Speaker 3: a lot of other people in the conservative world who
- 1:50:33Speaker 3: have the same problem. It's that whatever the popular opinion
- 1:50:36Speaker 3: of the day is, they're going to adapt that. And
- 1:50:39Speaker 3: that tells me that really there is at least on
- 1:50:42Speaker 3: those issues that they sort of go with with where
- 1:50:46Speaker 3: the you know, where the popular kids go, and you know,
- 1:50:50Speaker 3: and that's fine. People make a lot of money doing that.
- 1:50:52Speaker 3: That's just not how I run my show or run
- 1:50:56Speaker 3: my website. I have opinions, and the same opinions I've
- 1:51:00Speaker 3: had today are the ones that I had, you know,
- 1:51:02Speaker 3: twenty thirty years ago, and no need, no need to
- 1:51:05Speaker 3: change in my estimation, Richard. I hate to do this,
- 1:51:08Speaker 3: my friend, but we have got to go. We are
- 1:51:09Speaker 3: so late for a break nine o one two six
- 1:51:12Speaker 3: zero five nine two six. This is the Tom Stearn Show,
