Thune is Sabotaging Trump’s Agenda · ToddCast Podcast with Todd Starnes

• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: America's favorite gun, total bible clinging, deplorable American.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: That's us that this American.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Todd starts, well, Hello, everybody, welcome to the Tod Sterns
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Radio Program. What an honor to have you with us today.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: And we've got a lot of ground to cover. So
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: we need to talk about We need to talk about
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: the situation in the Senate, which is it. We're in
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: a very difficult position right now, ladies and gentlemen. And look,
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: this is this is not something new. Those of you
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: who have followed politics, and especially republic politics for any
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: amount of time, know that the Republicans are not exactly
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: the fiercest or most ferocious fighters in America. Now now,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump has been doing a phenomenal job in fixing
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: that problem, and we are getting a people in Congress
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: who are fighters, and we just don't have enough of
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: them yet. And I think that will change with every
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: single with every single election cycle moving forward. So that
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: is it's a problem that's going to be resolved. So
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: we're going to be getting rid of the establishment folks,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: the rhino folks, and we're going to be electing more
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: America First conservatives. Now here's the issue with that, of course,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: is the electability factor, because some of these folks in
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: the America First movement are slapped crazy nuts, and so
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: you've got to figure out, Okay, who is it that's
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: going to be able to represent the values of the
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: America First agenda, that is someone who is electable, somebody
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: who will be able to communicate and connect with the
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: with the average voters. And it's been sort of hit
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: or miss, to be perfectly honest with you, I mean,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: that's just the way it goes. But right now we've
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: we've got a pretty serious situation in the Senate, and
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: over overnight a lot of the videos I posted from
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: clips from the NEWSMAC Show have gone viral. We had
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: several folks to several lawmakers on Tim Burchett, Greg Stuby
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: out of Florida, Birchant by the way out of Tennessee,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: and both of those men are just in race. As
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: a matter of fact, Stuby says, you have a right.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: The American people should be pissed off right now at
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: the Senate. Republicans. Now, I want to go back and
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: just revisit briefly where we got here and what I
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: believe needs to happen now, because it is very clear
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: to me what's going on here. You know, President Trump
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: standing before the Republican Caucus in Miami, and he put
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: it all on the line. You know, the president, the
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: President really he was put in a position that he
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: didn't need to be put in. You know, he went
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: off and he rehashed all of the incredible successes of
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: his administration, you know, rattling off all of the dumpster
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: fires that he has extinguished over the past year and
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: a few months, and he reminded them of his promise
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: to make America great again. But then it was that
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: moment when he came to really the most important part
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: of his legacy, of his agenda, which is stopping this
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: outright scandal at the ballot box, where you now have
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Democrats openly admitting what's really going on here. Why, as
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: a matter of fact, the reason why Homeland Security has
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: not been reopened, the reason why the Democrats are making
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: millions of Americans suffer at airports just simply trying to
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: go on spring break. The reason why they're not reopening
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Homeland Security is because they want to guarantee. First of all,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: they wanted Christine omout, so the administration and hear me
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: on this capitulated and said, okay, we're going to fire
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Christine Nome. Now reopen Homeland Security. And they said, no,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Now you're going to have to guarantee us that ICE
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: agents will not be allowed to operate anywhere near a
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: polling site. That's the giveaway, ladies and gentlemen, because the
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Democrats know that the jig is up. The Democrats know
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: that if the Save America Act passes and is put
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: into law, then they will not be able to steal
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: as many elections as they have now. Charles or Chuck Schumer,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: rather little Chucky over at the on the Democrat side
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: of the here's what he had to say. And again
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: they're they're telling us, they're very open about it. They're
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: not hiding this information. Take a listen to Chuck Schumer.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Yes, but their bill isn't voter ID number one. It
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: is about voter registration. It makes it.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: It allows ICE.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: To kick tens of millions of people off the rolls,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: off the rolls, and they don't tell them until election
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: day and you show them and you say you're not
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: registered anymore. You're not registered here, you're not on the rolls.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Tens of millions, it is, you heard it. And they're
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: horrified that ICE agents are going to be at all
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: of these polling locations. And they're either a they're going
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: to capture all of these illegals who are voting illegally,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: or number two that the knowing that there will be
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: ICE agents there, that the illegals just won't show up
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: to vote. Either way, it is a win for the
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: American people because when you throw in all of the
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: other shenanigans out there, and I'm not accusing any companies
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: of anything, I'm just telling you that the Democrats have
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: found ways to cheat and win where they should not
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: be winning. So the Democrats know that if the Save
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: America Act is passed and becomes law, it's over for them.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: It's over. So this is a do or die moment.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: This is the hill to die on for the Democrats.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: But understand this, it's not Republican and Democrat and Washington
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: d C. This has been, always, has always been about
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: the uniparty. You know, we call them establishment Republicans or
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: rhinos Republicans the name only, but they're really not they're
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: all just one big part of this. Democrats and the
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Republican they're all just one big, big party in Washington,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: d C. And every single one of them, every single
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: one of them, has benefited financially from their position that
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: they were elected to. I mean, when you look at
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: the there was a survey done and we'll call this,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: we'll call this information up after the break, there was
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: a survey done that showed the most millionaires per capita
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: in America in the Washington DC area. And you have
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: to ask yourself what is going on in Washington, d C.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Because there's no manufacturing, there's no Silicon Valley. They're just
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: a bunch of lawmakers and lobbyists. There's so much fraud
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: and corruption. So here you have the president and he's
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: out there having to beg and plead with his own
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: party to get this across the finish line. And the
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: President really did not have to do that. He should
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: not have done that, and quite frankly, it should enrage
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: every single person who voted for the president because he's
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: going to he's going to bat for us, he's going
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: to bat for his children and his grandchildren. Now, the
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: President warned that we risk losing everything if we do
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: not pass the Save America Act. I want you to
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: take a good look at what's happening in New York
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: City right now. Take a look at Dearborn, take a
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: look at Dearborn, Michigan. Take a look at Patterson, New Jersey.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Take a look at what's happening in those cities right now.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: If we do not, if we do not secure the
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: ballot box, that's what we become. That's what we become.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: And the polling data democrats report and look hear me
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: on this. Contrary to what you may be hearing in
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: the legacy media here, most minorities in America support what
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: the president is doing here. I mean, the polling data
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: backs that up. It's an eighty five to fifteen issue.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: It may very well be a ninety ten issue, because
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: everybody sees what's happening here that when you bring in illegals,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: when you bring in the Islamist everybody else gets shoved aside.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: That that's what's happening right now. And this idea that
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: somehow it is racist to ask people to have an
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: idea is nuts. Look, if you want to go to
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: a nightclub, if you want to go to what's the
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: popular club that Adeter used to love to go to?
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Dela in Memphis?
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: We have troof here.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Ten roof. Okay, did you have to show an ID
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: to get in? Of course, of course you got to
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: show an ID. You gotta show I would die. I've
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: been dealing with the pollen and the allergies and went
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: over to the Walgreens and got the Nike Q. Will
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: you know what had to show an ID? You want
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: to go shovel snow in New York City, you got
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: to show two forms of ID. Ninety five percent of
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Republicans ninety five percent of Republicans favor a photo ID
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: to vote. But the Senate Republicans are refusing to budge.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: And now Senator Senator John Thune is out there saying,
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: first of all, he's saying that all of you people
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: that support the Save America Act are really just paid influencers.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Is that true, ladies and gentlemen, or any of you
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: being paid right now to support the Save America Act?
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: I can tell you I am the loudest voice on
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: the radio defending the Save America Act, and I can
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: tell you I have not received a single penny from
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: anybody as a matter of fact, I would consider it
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: to be my patriotic duty to stand up and say,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: we have got to make sure that only Americans are
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: voting in American elections. Why is that such a bad thing?
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: By the way, anybody want to explain though, why is
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: that such a bad thing? But since Leader Thune brought
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: it up, I do have a question for that guy.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: How much money is he being paid to stop the
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: president's agenda? I think that's the broader question we need
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: to be asking, because right now, all he's doing is
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: insulting the millions of people, millions of people that put
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump into office. And by the way, now he
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: says that they just don't have enough time. They don't
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: have enough time. And I want to read this quote
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: to you from Leader thro and he says, first of all,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: he goes, we don't have the votes either to proceed
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: get on a talking felibuster in order to sustain one.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Even if we got on it, it's about the votes.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: It's the math, and for better or worse, I'm the
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: one who has to be the clear eyed realist about
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: what we can achieve here. Last time I checked, the
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Republicans control the Senate. They have the numbers, We've done
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: the math. So what's really going on here? Well, I
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: believe that the Senate Republicans and the Rhinos, the establishment,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: they're not stupid, They're not they're conniving, their manipulators, they're deceivers,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: they are propagandists, and I believe that they figured this out,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: that they actually, at the end of the day, they
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: do wield the power to either slow down or outright
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: stop the president's agenda. And ladies and gentlemen, that's well,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: that's exactly what they've been doing. That's exactly what they've
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: been doing. So the question now is what happens next. Well,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: first of all, we need to be inundating I mean
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: inundating Washington, DC with calls, and we don't need to
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: be polite about it anymore. We need to speak our
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: mind and we need to let them know how outraged.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: And every single I don't care if you're in Arkansas
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: or Oregon, I don't care where you live. Everybody needs
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: to be calling Senator John Thune's office because he's ultimately
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: the guy responsible. Now here's where I think we're at
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: and where I think we need to go here. John
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Thune's got to go he cannot be the majority leader anymore.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: He cannot, and we're going to have to demand that
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: our elected leaders, our Republican senators. And there are people
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: like Marsha Blackburn and Mike Lee. There are people like
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Katie Britt, who, by the way, was viciously smeared by
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Fox News Channel. Fox NewsChannel was out there saying that
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Katie Britt was opposed to the Same America Act, when
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: in fact, she's been one of the most of one
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: of the most ferocious supporters of it, and Fox News
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: had to apologize. Now, understand that John Thune has spent
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: nearly three decades in Washington, d C. So he is
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: now officially a part of the swamp. And that's why
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: the Senate has basically become a graveyard for all of
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: the legislation that has been introduced. And there's been a
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: there's a great guy on his name is Allen Anopi
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: on X and he laid it all out. He said,
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: look at the receipts. Four hundred and thirty plus days
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: in the Senate, and here's what has not gone through yet.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: We're still waiting for the Senate to again pass the
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Save America Act to halt lethal trafficking Athentunnel. We're still
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: waiting for the Senate to protect women and Girls in
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: sports Sin's HR twenty eight. We're still waiting for the
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Born Alive Abortion Survivors Act to get through the Senate.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: We're still waiting for multiple border security and Energy Protection
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: bills to get through the Senate. The Epstein Files Transparency Act, Nope,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: and they haven't acted on that Going Stopping the Sexualization
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: of Children Act, they haven't acted on that, DHS funding,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: border security bills for twenty twenty six still sitting unfinished,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: and it goes on and on and on. Do you
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: understand now, ladies and gentlemen, what's happening in the Senate
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: and say this? It is so bad that we very
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: well may lose the midterms unless this gets remedied. And
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: if the Save of America Act does not get across
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: the finish line now, it never will and at that
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: point we risk losing the Republic. So this is how
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: serious of a situation. It is open to hearing your
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: thoughts on how we remedy all of this. Nine oh
• 15:25

• 15:28
  Speaker 3: telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero five

  Speaker 3: trek again. This is what's happening across Israel as Operation

• 16:52
  Speaker 3: have posted John Thune's telephone number, and you head over
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: to our YouTube and you'll see it there in the
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: comments section. But we need you to be lighting up
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: the phones today, and you also need to be calling
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: your senators and telling them that you want John Thune
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: out of leadership. All right, let's go to the phones here.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Let's start the day in North Carolina. Dave, Dave, what's
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: on your mind?
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: Well, Toald, like I told your call screener, I hear
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: the same thing day after day after day. There's never
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: a solution. Our country is literally dissolving, and every day
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: we hear this same thing, and it's all reasons why
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: we can't do this. We can't do that. You know,
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: we went into Venezuela. We're going to take over running
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: it for a while. So my question was, are we
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: going to start with a forty five day shutdown? I mean,
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: we can't, we can't function here. We part of the
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: initial purpose of Congress is to create maintain a balanced budget,
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: we can't do it. We can't fund something that is
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: on an angle. But you know, the the federal government
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: has a fiscal year, but we're going to fund this
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: for these two weeks and then we're going to have
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: another shutdown. You know, cue the music, here comes to drama.
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: Dott are we gonna do it?
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: You know? At the last and look at who it is.
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: It's TSA and people like this because the American public
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: flying is a big deal. Why can't Johnson get this done?
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: I can't, I can't, I can't. Nobody in America can
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: seem to accomplish anything. Shout, give me the address of
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: any married woman who can't get a voter's registration or
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: a black person who can't get it, and I will
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: go help them. I will walk them through the process.
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: And I told your call speaker they had to go
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: with an ID to get a marriage license to change
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: their name and every day and have you know, it's
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: a couple pieces of paper. Take those pieces of paper
• 18:50

  Speaker 6: help name.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: You are a generous and kind man. And look, we've
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: been preaching this on this radio program for years. We
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: have yet to meet any single person, black, white, Hispanic, married,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: unmarried who has not been able to get some form
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: of ID and Dave, we appreciate your generosity and your offer.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: We will let you know if anybody wants to take
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: you up on it. Thank you for the call. A
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: lot of common sense. We'll talk more about that coming
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: up right after the break. Your call is coming up
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: as well. This is the Todd Sterns Show. All right,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Welcome back to everybody. This is the Tom Sterns Radio Show.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: By the way, we did a little deep dive into
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: John Thune and before he was elected back in nineteen nine,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: before he came to Washington, his net worth was modest,
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: or on the lower side of modest, so he was
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: basically a middle class guy. Today, according to Forbes magazine,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: he is worth well over three million dollars a year,
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: and so we're just sort of curious, how does somebody
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: accumulate that much wealth on a government salary. And that
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: could be one of the reasons why John Thune is
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: so adamantly opposed to President Trump's efforts to drain the swamp.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: All right, as promise, let's go back to the phone
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: lines here nine oh one two six zero five to
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five,
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: nine two six. Let's head over to Winston Salem, North Carolina.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Henry listening to us on ws JS. Hi, Henry, what's
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: on your mind?
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: Hi?
• 20:55
  Speaker 9: Todd? Yeah, I wanted to talk about what a great
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: job I think President Trump and at Secretary Hegseth they're
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: dealing with this war. There's a number of things that
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: they're doing that I really like. One is they're putting
• 21:08
  Speaker 9: out the most awesome videos of the bombings we're doing,
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: and they play rock music with it and they splice
• 21:14
  Speaker 9: in movie clips.
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: That is so cool.
• 21:17
  Speaker 9: I love how callous we are towards war. It's awesome,
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: very respectful to our troops.
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: As well well.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: I certainly think so, well, Henry, I think I would
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: definitely say so. I think it's inspiring. I do think
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: it's inspirational. For so many years, our military troops have
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: been denigrated by Democrats and the mainstream media, and now
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: we've got a military that has embraced this warrior ethos
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: and we're getting rid of the bad guys acting.
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: Like twelve year old boys at the computer is really cool.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: How is that acting like a twelve year old boy?
• 21:54
  Speaker 10: No?
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, how is that acting like a twelve
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: year old What are you talking about here? We're trying
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: to highlight the successes of the most powerful finding force
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: on the planet. And also, these videos are a deterrent
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: to all of the evil people that want to come
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: over here and blow us up.
• 22:11
  Speaker 9: Oh it deter the rock music in the movie e
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: clips are deterrened.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, well, what do you what do you mean?
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: I'm just curious you're coming onto the program and you're
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: you're calling me stupid? What do you mean by that, Henry?
• 22:25
  Speaker 9: How do you like the fact that we accidentally blew
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: up the school? And then Trump love?
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Not true? Not true, the President says. Look, the President says,
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: that is under investigation. And look, we're in the middle
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: of a war. Things are going to happen, Things are
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: going to go wrong, and I have no doubt that
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: if in fact, the investigation proves that's what the allegations are,
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: then the President is going to come out and say
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: something about it. But again, this is an active war zone, Henry,
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: and bad things are going to happen, no doubt about it.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: People are going to lose their lives. That's that's the
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: nature of war.
• 22:59
  Speaker 9: I'm sure Don will come out and apologize for it.
• 23:01
  Speaker 9: He's really known for apologizing for his mistakes. And how
• 23:05
  Speaker 9: about covering up how bad the attack in Kuwait was
• 23:09
  Speaker 9: with all of the injured soldiers, They really tried their
• 23:12
  Speaker 9: best to cover that up. But they finally put the
• 23:14
  Speaker 9: news out today.
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: Isn't that great?
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: No, that it came out yesterday and that was actually
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: acknowledged at the White House Press briefing. So how is
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: that covering anything up? Henry?
• 23:25
  Speaker 9: They didn't acknowledge it till yesterday.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: No, seriously, how is that? In all seriousness?
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: You?
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: How is that? How is how is that a cover up?
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: How did a cover up?
• 23:36
  Speaker 9: They didn't release the information right away? They've downplayed everything.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Why should no, they're not downplaying Look, they're not downplaying anything, Henry.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Here's what this administration is not doing. They're not getting
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: in front of the cameras and they're not telling the
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: entire world what they're about to do. Also, we also know,
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: thanks thanks to the President Trump booting all of the
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Pentagon reporters, those longtime reporters out of the actual Pentagon building.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: It turns out nobody's leaking any information. They used to
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: do that. They used to leak all of this information
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: to the press corps putting targets on every single one
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: of our finding men and women. That's not happening anymore.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: So I got to tell you something, Henry. I do
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: not have a problem with the fact that we don't
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: know a lot about what's happening over there, because we're
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: trying to keep our troops safe, right, better.
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: To cover up the war crimes that way, what's.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: The war crime? What's the war crime? You know what, Henry,
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: here's the problem. Here's the problem with people like you.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: If you'd have been around during World War Two, we
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: would all be speaking German, at least half of the
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: country would be, and the other half would be speaking Japanese.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: The reality is, Henry, and I know a lot of
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: you like to live in this little umpa lupa, you know,
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: make believe utopia where everybody's lovey dovey and running around
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: in tulip fields, tiptoeing around and dancing to I don't
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: know the Coca cola song. But the reality is there
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: are very bad people in the world, Henry, very bad people.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: And you know what, God has blessed the United States
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: with the ability to blow the bad guys to the
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: gates of Hell. And I am glad as an American
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: citizen for that. Henry, you ought to be glad as well.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: I'm going to let you stew on that, and I'm
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: sure we'll he'll hear back from you again, Henry, thank
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: you for the call. It's a seminar caller, ladies and gentlemen,
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: and this is how you deal with that. I have
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: absolutely no problem with what's happening overseas right now what
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: I like. And again, I'm a journalist, so by nature
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: i'm inquisitive what I like to know what our next
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: move is, absolutely but it would be foolish for anybody
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: in the Pentagon to reveal that information period. By the way,
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: one hundred and forty of our soldiers injured so far
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: in the war. Seven lost their lives nine oh one
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two. Let's go to Richard
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: in O'calla, Florida. Hi, Richard, what's on your mind?
• 26:05
  Speaker 11: Howdy, mister Todd, Thanks for taking my call. Todd, just first,
• 26:09
  Speaker 11: I'm not trying to blow smoke, but I want to
• 26:12
  Speaker 11: thank you for what you're doing. This needs exposed, and
• 26:15
  Speaker 11: I've been listening to you doing a good job of it.
• 26:19
  Speaker 11: I agree with you one hundred percent. It's not just
• 26:22
  Speaker 11: the Democrats. I think half the Republicans is lined up
• 26:25
  Speaker 11: with the Democrats, and they don't want to fix the problem.
• 26:28
  Speaker 11: They're happy with the way the country's going. But I
• 26:32
  Speaker 11: believe with all my heart America is at a last
• 26:36
  Speaker 11: end resort to do or die. If we don't pass
• 26:39
  Speaker 11: this and get this thing fixed and then enforce it
• 26:41
  Speaker 11: after we fix it, we're doomed as a free republican nation.
• 26:46
  Speaker 11: When i's a republic, I mean a republic as a
• 26:48
  Speaker 11: free republic. And so my question is if the Senate
• 26:52
  Speaker 11: don't pass it, and I don't think they're going to
• 26:53
  Speaker 11: come close to I think that John Thune is a trader,
• 26:57
  Speaker 11: but not just him. I think three quarters of in
• 26:59
  Speaker 11: Congress are trade reader. But if they don't pass it,
• 27:03
  Speaker 11: can our president, as a last ditch effort, declare martial law,
• 27:07
  Speaker 11: move in the military and move and forcibly get out
• 27:13
  Speaker 11: every illegal in America out of the country, and then
• 27:16
  Speaker 11: when it comes time to vote, they wouldn't be here
• 27:19
  Speaker 11: to cast the illegal vote. Uh, and to steal election promise.
• 27:23
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 27:24
  Speaker 11: Majority of the American people would back him in their hearts.
• 27:27
  Speaker 11: They might not be brave enough to say so, but
• 27:29
  Speaker 11: something's got to be done. It's either now or never.
• 27:31
  Speaker 11: I believe with all my heart you're right. If we
• 27:33
  Speaker 11: don't fix it, we're done as a nation in the
• 27:36
  Speaker 11: very near future. What's your opinion on that?
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so, so, first of all, you know, Richard, there
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: had been some questions about whether or not the president could
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: just issue an executive order forcing forcing strict voter idea laws.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: He cannot do that. He does not have that power.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: That is something that Congress has to has to tackle.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: So that's that's off the table. The other issue about
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: the mass deportations, Now, this is this is going to
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to share this and I don't want
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: to tell you how to feel, but this is what's
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: coming out of the White House. Multiple news agencies are
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: reporting that the White House has told House GOP members
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: to avoid talking about mass deportation ahead of the midterms.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: So according to I'm going to read the Washington Post,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: and I do know that these reports are in fact accurate,
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: but there are The White House is very concerned that
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: the mass deportations are going to have blowback and they're
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: going to lose support in the midterm elections. All of
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: this is happening, by the way down in Florida when
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: they were meeting earlier, earlier this week. So the issue
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: is what exactly, what exactly can we expect moving forward
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: when it comes to deportations. Do you believe and Richard,
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: and we'll pose this question to the audience, but do
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: you favor just focusing on the very bad, very dangerous
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: criminal illegals or do we go after do we go
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: after everybody? And that's something that we're all going to
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: have to grample with because I'm telling you the days
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: of the days of I don't know, targeting the home
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: depots and the lows. I think those days are over.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: For Homeland Security, I don't think they're going to be
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: doing that anymore.
• 29:30
  Speaker 11: Richard, Well, mister Todd, I'm igreat what you're said to
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: get the worst ones out of here, but I think
• 29:40
  Speaker 11: we ought to have the military or Homeland Security or
• 29:44
  Speaker 11: somebody at every Poland booth in America and the first
• 29:48
  Speaker 11: one of the illegals that tries to cast the illegal vote,
• 29:51
  Speaker 11: then they need to deport it on the spot. Do
• 29:53
  Speaker 11: not pass gold, do not collect two hundred dollars like
• 29:55
  Speaker 11: the old manofa game, but heads straight to jail. If
• 29:58
  Speaker 11: they want to let the one to that's working hard
• 30:01
  Speaker 11: and paying taxes and trying to come over here and
• 30:05
  Speaker 11: do what's right and incorporating to our system, not bring there,
• 30:10
  Speaker 11: but agreed to ours, our way of government, our way
• 30:13
  Speaker 11: of life. And if they want to do that, But
• 30:17
  Speaker 11: the second they try to cast an illegal vote, I
• 30:19
  Speaker 11: think you got to be shipped out of country. Well, yeah,
• 30:21
  Speaker 11: because they're destroying our nation, Todd. But what they're voting for, yes.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: And when you look and again Chuck Schumer is saying
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: tens of millions, That tells me that we've got a
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: lot of people that are voting and elections that should
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: not be voting. But it goes beyond that, because the
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: actual numbers of people will determine congressional districts, and that's
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: the bigger issue, especially when you're looking at what's happening
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: and for example California, where they've pretty much decimated all
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: of the Republican congressional districts. Kevin highly announcing that he's
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: going independent, he will caucus with the Republicans. Darryl i Up,
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: longtime conservative out there southern California, says he's ending his
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: congressional career because of the redistricting issues. So Richard, I
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: agree with you wholeheartedly. Something has to be done. But
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: I think again, ladies and gentlemen, and Richard, thank you
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: for the call. When you look at where we are
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: right now, it's a little murky, right It feels everything
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: sort of feels discombobulated because we're off message, you know,
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: President Trump, and this Iran situation is causing a big
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: rift within the MAGA movement right now. And it's not
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: just Iran, but it's going to be Cuba. We've already
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: handled Venezuela, and the President's got a reason for doing
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: all of this. But the reality is we need to
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: be focused more so on what's happening domestically and getting
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: rid of the illegals, and that's where the White House
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: right now, there is an internal battle going on inside
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue as to the extent of that now,
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: early on, early on, I will say this, early on
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: the plan before christineom decided to get a makeover and
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: buy cowboy boots and get a horse. Before all of
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: that happened, the plan was to go after the very
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: very bad guys first and then everybody else. But that
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: did not happen, and it was all I mean, they
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: were going after every they hit every taco joint in America,
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: and now you can't get a good shaloupa. I mean,
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: what do you want me to say? It is what
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: it is. All right, Let's go to Angie in Gainesville, Georgia. Angie,
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: what's on your mind today?
• 32:42
  Speaker 10: Hey DoD, long time no here. I'm in having mode.
• 32:50
  Speaker 10: I had a couple of questions and your opinion, Why
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: did we wait so ball so let all of this
• 32:58
  Speaker 10: get out of hand? Iran number one when they knew
• 33:03
  Speaker 10: over the years that they were building bombs got Uran?
• 33:07
  Speaker 10: Why are we allowing illegal immigrants in this country when
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: they don't know who they're associated with. It's kind of
• 33:15
  Speaker 10: like Facebook. You can block somebody from Facebook, but everybody
• 33:19
  Speaker 10: can see what's.
• 33:20
  Speaker 12: Going on with you.
• 33:21
  Speaker 10: And the reason I point that out is because every
• 33:25
  Speaker 10: legal immigrant needs to come through this country the way
• 33:29
  Speaker 10: that they're supposed to. Can you imagine going to China
• 33:32
  Speaker 10: and breaking into China illegally, breaking into Japan illegally, breaking
• 33:37
  Speaker 10: into Quaid or wherever illegally. We don't know some of
• 33:41
  Speaker 10: these Americans work for some of these I don't want
• 33:45
  Speaker 10: to say out tied it up because I don't know
• 33:47
  Speaker 10: enough about it, but needs to whatever that moves is
• 33:51
  Speaker 10: or whatever. We have got so many illegal immigrants in
• 33:55
  Speaker 10: this country we don't know who is to One of
• 33:59
  Speaker 10: them could be your name and end up blowing you up.
• 34:03
  Speaker 10: And you know, I'm just wanting your opinion, honest to
• 34:08
  Speaker 10: want in the United States of America wait until things
• 34:13
  Speaker 10: get out of hand and not do anything about it.
• 34:17
  Speaker 10: It's like going to the doctor and saying, well, you've
• 34:20
  Speaker 10: got cancer, but we're going to wait till its progresses
• 34:23
  Speaker 10: until we do anything about it. Am I making sip?
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, you are, Angie. And I'll give you
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: an example. The President during the press conference, somebody asked
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: about all the sleeper cells and apparently there are thousands
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: of Muslim sleeper cells and the Trump and the President said, oh, yeah, look,
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: We've got all these guys under surveillance. We know what
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: they're doing, we know what they're up to. And I'm
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: sitting here listening to the President explain it, and I'm like, well,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: wait a second, mister President. If we know where the
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: terrorists are, why don't we go and get them and
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: either send them down to get Mo or boot them
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: the heck out of the country. What are we waiting
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: for a mushroom cloud over an American city? Idle unders
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: stand that. But again, Angie, I think there are a
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: lot of horses at play here. I was reading a
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: report a couple of days ago that China, of all people,
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: that China was funding a lot of these protests that
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: we're seeing, you know, these professional protests that are popping
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: up all over America. So I think when you've got
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: your enemies like China trying to sow disinformation and discord,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: you've got the leftist who hate America, and then you
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: have these radical progressives and the do nothing Republicans. It
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: is a great, big mess right now, and it's it's
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: all fixable. The question is will well President Trump, will
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: he be able to fix it? Is there enough time
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: to fix it? And what does that look like for
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: the midterms, Because right now, the Republicans they don't deserve,
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: they don't deserve to be re elected, Angie. But the
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: problem is we can't afford for them not to be
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: re elected. That's the big problem here, right.
• 35:58
  Speaker 10: But to sing your question, and I'm just asking your opinion,
• 36:02
  Speaker 10: is all of this has been going on with Iran
• 36:05
  Speaker 10: and Iraq for years. Look what to Biden administration and
• 36:08
  Speaker 10: that Obama administration did. My question is I understand anything
• 36:14
  Speaker 10: Trump is going to do. Everybody is gonna hate him
• 36:16
  Speaker 10: no matter what.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: Right, let me let me answer you a question because
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: I know. Let me answer that question because we're running
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: out of time here. Ronald Reagan didn't do anything. Hw
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: Bush didn't do anything. Bill Clinton didn't do anything. George
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: W didn't do anything. Obama didn't do anything. Trump didn't
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: do anything. In first the first ternam in office. Biden
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: didn't do anything. But now apparently it reached the critical
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: mass where they had to go in and whatever intel
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: they had, they had to go in and do it.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: I can't tell you why they chose not to do it,
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: but they kept kicking that can down the road. And
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: now we're in a precarious situation. Angie, I gotta run hangtied.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: Everybody will be right back, all right, coming up, We're
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: gonna be talking to a guy that wants to beat
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: Lindsey Graham. Mark Lynch going to primary Lindsey Graham, Lady
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: Graham in the US Senate race in South Carolina. Also,
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: we're going to be talking to a former federal prosecutor
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: running for Attorney General in New York. Has a lot
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: to say about what's happening there in New York City
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: with the terrorist attacks. Also, as we're going to break,
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: I want to encourage you to go right now to

  Speaker 3: calling in to the show. Nine oh one two six
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: zero five nine two six. Again that number, nine oh
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: one two zero five nine two six. So the investigation continues,
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: and a lot of very nervous people in New York
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: City as a result of this attempted bombing over the
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: weekend where you had these teenage jihattists from Pennsylvania who
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: tried to blow up a lot of protesters. Now CNN
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: the most profane name in news CNN yesterday, Abby Phillips.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: She characterized the bombing this way, cut two plates.
• 39:31
  Speaker 14: Two Republicans say Muslims don't belong here after an attempted
• 39:35
  Speaker 14: terror attack against New York's mayor Zora Mamdani and the
• 39:39
  Speaker 14: House speaker, Mike Johnson says nothing really to condemn those comments.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: All right, So now CNN is trying to convince us
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: that this was an attack directed at Mengdami, when in fact,
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: the Jihatas were yelling Allahu Akbar and they were trying
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: to bomb the protesters. CNN later coming back and having
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: to reach tracked those comments, Well, I want to go
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: to our Patriot mobile newsmaker line. I believe our next
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: guest might have something to say about what's happening in
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: New York City, the lawlessness. She wants to be the
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: next Attorney General of New York State. She is a
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: rising star in the Republican Party. Sritha Kamra Teddi. Good
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: to have you with us today.
• 40:23
  Speaker 15: Thank you to It's good to be with you.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: So a lot of very concerned people right now in
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: New York City. They see the attacks that could have
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: taken out a lot of police officers. Of course, a
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago you had the people attacking NYPD
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: officers with snowballs and chunks of ice, and the mayor
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: seems to be dismissing all of all of this. What
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: say you, you.
• 40:46
  Speaker 15: Know, it's a real problem. I have to tell you.
• 40:49
  Speaker 15: Living in New York we have all seen over the
• 40:51
  Speaker 15: last five six years that public safety has really deteriorated.
• 40:56
  Speaker 15: We see random acts of violence, we see people being punched,
• 40:59
  Speaker 15: stabbed in mist eat in broad daylight, and we seek
• 41:02
  Speaker 15: stores being robbed and that kind of crimes across the board.
• 41:06
  Speaker 15: It's all types of crime, and it's a problem. And
• 41:09
  Speaker 15: it's because we don't have of officials in charge at
• 41:14
  Speaker 15: the mayor level, at the DA level, at the Attorney
• 41:17
  Speaker 15: general level that support law enforcement at the usport enforcement
• 41:21
  Speaker 15: of laws. That's why crime in New York and while
• 41:23
  Speaker 15: Latitia James is when Attorney General is up twenty six.
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: Percent, it's that's it's just unfathomable. And I remember living
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: in New York City for fifteen years and I would,
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: you know, on the nice days, I would walk back
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: across the Brooklyn Bridge to my home and they're in
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: downtown Brooklyn from midtown Manhattan, and you never really had
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: to think about somebody coming up behind you and attacking
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: you or stabbing you. It just seems like it's a
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: very different, sort of almost a dystopian feel right now
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: in New York City.
• 41:55
  Speaker 15: Well, the problem is that they're not. It's not one
• 41:58
  Speaker 15: random act. We see it all the time. Just this week,
• 42:01
  Speaker 15: there were two more situations involving people being pushed into
• 42:05
  Speaker 15: in the subway I mean, these things are happening because
• 42:08
  Speaker 15: we're not enforced in the laws. The good news is
• 42:11
  Speaker 15: we know how to enforce the laws. We've done it before,
• 42:14
  Speaker 15: we can do it again. They can do it ethically,
• 42:16
  Speaker 15: we can do it compassionately. But we need to do it.
• 42:19
  Speaker 15: We need to prosecute criminals. What we're seeing is repeat
• 42:22
  Speaker 15: criminals are out on the street because they're not charged
• 42:25
  Speaker 15: to the fullest extent of the law. They're not good
• 42:27
  Speaker 15: in jail after the rest. They're just let out the
• 42:30
  Speaker 15: same day. Sometimes they're not even taking the court they're
• 42:33
  Speaker 15: just given a ticket and said it's told to show
• 42:35
  Speaker 15: up later. That's a problem. We're not clearing the homeless.
• 42:39
  Speaker 15: I'm a stick off the street. People like that. They
• 42:42
  Speaker 15: need to be in shelters, they need to be in hospitals,
• 42:44
  Speaker 15: they need to be in drug treatment centers. Instead, we're
• 42:47
  Speaker 15: letting these folks be out on the street. It's not
• 42:49
  Speaker 15: good for them, not good for anyone else. And that's
• 42:53
  Speaker 15: the real problem.
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: I know that you guys are dealing in New York
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: with an issue. My hometown of Memphis, Tennis See, we
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: have a George Sorows style district attorney in our area.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: Very soft on crime. You have judges that are letting
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: very dangerous people out without bail in many cases, and
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: you guys have the same situation there in New York
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: City with Alvin Bragg, there was one case, this is insane.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: A guy was arrested one hundred and thirty four times
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: and he ended up getting just a very light prison sentence.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: So these guys are back out on the streets where
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: they're able to basically pray on more innocent people.
• 43:33
  Speaker 15: That's right. That was a recent instance again in the
• 43:34
  Speaker 15: subway where someone was hurt in a subway with someone
• 43:38
  Speaker 15: you know, that individual who was bressed more than one
• 43:40
  Speaker 15: hundred and thirty times. His last arrest was for an
• 43:43
  Speaker 15: assault where that assault she assaulted a woman on the street.
• 43:47
  Speaker 15: He should have been detained before trial for that, but
• 43:51
  Speaker 15: because of the charging policies, because of the bail policies,
• 43:55
  Speaker 15: he was let out. And it puts someone else at risk.
• 43:58
  Speaker 15: I mean, I've seen this firsthand. I was a federal
• 44:00
  Speaker 15: prosecutor for twelve years in New York and I was
• 44:03
  Speaker 15: chief of staff of the DEA, the Drug Enforcement Administration,
• 44:07
  Speaker 15: and I have seen just last fall, the last time
• 44:09
  Speaker 15: I was in an arraignment court. I saw a guy
• 44:11
  Speaker 15: come in with twenty seven priors. He was out on
• 44:14
  Speaker 15: probation for some reason. When the NYPD went looking for him,
• 44:19
  Speaker 15: they found him with fedinl heroin and cocaine and scales,
• 44:23
  Speaker 15: which means he was dealing and a loaded gun, dealing
• 44:26
  Speaker 15: deadly drugs across the street from middle school. When he
• 44:29
  Speaker 15: got prosecuted in the state, he got six months and.
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: Was let out.
• 44:32
  Speaker 15: That's why they brought him to federal court to see
• 44:33
  Speaker 15: if I could do something about it. That's a problem,
• 44:36
  Speaker 15: and it's a problem for all New Yorkers. People across
• 44:39
  Speaker 15: the political spectrum agreed someone like that should not be
• 44:42
  Speaker 15: let out, but that person deserves to be in jail.
• 44:47
  Speaker 15: His public safety threat. That's kind of an issue we're
• 44:50
  Speaker 15: dealing with, and we're dealing with it across New York.
• 44:53
  Speaker 15: In every county in New York. We're seeing issues like that,
• 44:57
  Speaker 15: and it begins because we haven't attorney Jack. It doesn't
• 45:00
  Speaker 15: support law enforcement and doesn't support enforce the laws.
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: Serifa Comaateretti is a former federal prosecutor now running to
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: be the next Attorney General of New York as a Republican.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: Her website, by the way, CRIFA for New York dot Com,
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: that Serifa for New York dot Com. You know, I
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: there was an amazing photograph. I don't know if you
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: saw the photograph that was taken after this terrorist attack
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: attempted terrorist attack over the weekend, and it was Police
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: Chief Aaron Edwards, this police officer literally jumping over the
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: guys in his forties, jumping over police barricades and literally
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: running towards the danger. It's really appalling, and I think
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: a lot of police are just really infuriated that Mayor
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: Man Dommi has not even invited this man or you know,
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: to Gracie Mansion to say thank you, or even issued
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: any sort of a statement thinking the NYPD or the
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: incredible work they did.
• 45:55
  Speaker 15: Yeah, Chief Edwards is really a hero. I mean a
• 45:59
  Speaker 15: great deal of gratitude to him as a city, as
• 46:01
  Speaker 15: a state that I had the honor of working on
• 46:04
  Speaker 15: a joint terrorism task force for much of my career,
• 46:06
  Speaker 15: and I worked alongside police department officials NYPD, New York
• 46:11
  Speaker 15: State Police, federal officials, officials for every agency, and those
• 46:16
  Speaker 15: people work every day to keep us safe. It's one
• 46:19
  Speaker 15: of the reasons we need to make sure we support them,
• 46:21
  Speaker 15: fund them, and help them in their mission.
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: The big question, I think, and your credentials are just impeccable.
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: The question is how can Republicans win in New York State?
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: How does that happen?
• 46:37
  Speaker 15: We can win, and we will win because what we
• 46:40
  Speaker 15: are running on. Our message is we need to make
• 46:43
  Speaker 15: New York safer. We need to make New York stronger,
• 46:46
  Speaker 15: and we need to make New York safer. And that's
• 46:48
  Speaker 15: something everyone can get behind. It doesn't matter what your
• 46:50
  Speaker 15: background is, what community you come from, or what your
• 46:53
  Speaker 15: politics are. People want New York to be safer because
• 46:57
  Speaker 15: safety has been on a decline. A million Yorkers have
• 47:00
  Speaker 15: left in the last five years. It's unacceptable. So it's
• 47:05
  Speaker 15: very simple. If you elect an attorney general who's a
• 47:07
  Speaker 15: true professional, who's a prosecutor who has done this for
• 47:12
  Speaker 15: more than a decade, someone like me, who actually has
• 47:16
  Speaker 15: a record of keeping New Yorkers safe, regardless of what
• 47:20
  Speaker 15: community you come from, keeping politics out of it, then
• 47:23
  Speaker 15: I can do the same things stayed wide. And that's
• 47:26
  Speaker 15: what we need. An attorney general who is making decisions
• 47:29
  Speaker 15: based on the facts and the law, waking up every
• 47:32
  Speaker 15: morning asking how can I make New York safer, not
• 47:35
  Speaker 15: an attorney general distracted by partisan ideology, distracted by politics.
• 47:39
  Speaker 15: For that reason, we can win and we will win.
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: You know, Sarifa, I was on your website and the
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: first thing that pops up are images of what happens
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: in New York City on September eleventh, two thousand and one.
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: And for me, I think that is like, you know,
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: much like you have BC and AD, I think you
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: have life after nine eleven. And the reality is we
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: have very dangerous people in this world, many of them
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: now apparently have snuck into this country and they want
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: to see more buildings come down, and they want to
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: see more Americans die, And that is just I don't
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: think this was a one off on nine to eleven.
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: I think this is something we're going to have to
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: pay attention to for the rest of our lives.
• 48:19
  Speaker 15: It's something we have to be vigilant about. The reason
• 48:22
  Speaker 15: those images are on my website is because it's the
• 48:24
  Speaker 15: reason I'm a terrorism prosecutor. Nine eleven happened my first
• 48:28
  Speaker 15: week of college. That made me want to fight terrorists.
• 48:31
  Speaker 15: That's why I went to law school and became a
• 48:33
  Speaker 15: terrorism prosecutor. And that's why I spent years prosecuting members
• 48:37
  Speaker 15: of al Qaeda and isis. In fact, I prosecuted a
• 48:41
  Speaker 15: young man very similar to the people who we just
• 48:43
  Speaker 15: saw arrested this week, a young man who drove from
• 48:46
  Speaker 15: Pennsylvania to New York with explosives in his car, with
• 48:49
  Speaker 15: bomb making instructions on as devices. And thank god, we
• 48:54
  Speaker 15: caught him before he was able to do anything, and
• 48:57
  Speaker 15: we were able to put him in federal prison and
• 48:59
  Speaker 15: he's now serving as thirty eight year sentence. But these things,
• 49:03
  Speaker 15: we have to be vigilant about them. We can't treat
• 49:05
  Speaker 15: them as one off events. It is a real threat.
• 49:08
  Speaker 15: There are some people in this world that believe that
• 49:11
  Speaker 15: they need to commit violence and violent jihad to achieve
• 49:16
  Speaker 15: their ends, and we have to make sure we stop
• 49:18
  Speaker 15: that threat. The only way to do that is to
• 49:21
  Speaker 15: have someone in charge, who's paying attention, who's qualified, and
• 49:25
  Speaker 15: who's going to work well with others to actually make
• 49:28
  Speaker 15: sure that threat is eliminated.
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: You know, one of the things I appreciate about about
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: you is you're not afraid to say what needs to
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: be said. And it's not This is not a Zoron
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: Mandammi issue. This is a broader cultural issue that has
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: really been created in Albany, the state capital, where you've
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: got the laws governing you know, these low bails, you've
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: got the soft on crime prosecutors, and honestly, you've got
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: a population of young people in the state of New
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: York and specifically New York sit that are just there
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: is no respect for law enforcement, which I suspect is
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: one of the reasons why they felt like they could
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: attack those cops a couple of weeks ago.
• 50:10
  Speaker 15: Well, the reason is because of all of the policies
• 50:13
  Speaker 15: and rhetoric is built up over the last six five
• 50:17
  Speaker 15: six years. The reason is we have police who would
• 50:22
  Speaker 15: You're right, Criminals feel free to attack the police because
• 50:25
  Speaker 15: they know that there will be no consequences. If you
• 50:28
  Speaker 15: remember back in twenty nineteen, when Lutitia James was first
• 50:31
  Speaker 15: in office, there were people throwing buckets of water at
• 50:34
  Speaker 15: police and those people there were no consequences. They didn't
• 50:38
  Speaker 15: get in trouble. That's the lesson they learned from that.
• 50:41
  Speaker 15: So they feel free to do it again that those
• 50:43
  Speaker 15: police unfortunately have to sort of stand there and take
• 50:46
  Speaker 15: it because they know that if they react, the politicians
• 50:49
  Speaker 15: won't have their backs. And even when the person gets arrested.
• 50:53
  Speaker 15: You saw the DA downplayed the charges so that he
• 50:56
  Speaker 15: got released the same day. That's because of the charge decisions.
• 51:00
  Speaker 15: That's because of the decisions and all being on the
• 51:02
  Speaker 15: bail laws. Every single one of those things can be
• 51:05
  Speaker 15: fixed with the right leadership.
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: Before we let you go. I know you're new to
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: our audience, and we're going to get you back on
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: between now and the election. I love how you stand
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: on these issues, and we got to get you on
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: the NEWSMAC Show too. But you're also on top of,
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: like you know, battling crime, you're also a mom. I mean,
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know how how do you find how do
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: you balance all of them? That's a lot of work
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: you've got on your hands.
• 51:29
  Speaker 15: Well, I'm very very fortunate. I have four children, sucessive twins,
• 51:33
  Speaker 15: and so I was extraordinarily lucky with them. But frankly,
• 51:38
  Speaker 15: they're the reason I do it. You know, I want
• 51:41
  Speaker 15: my city to be safe for my kids, from my neighbors,
• 51:43
  Speaker 15: from my community, and I want my state to be safe.
• 51:46
  Speaker 15: I see this problem happening throughout the state. I've traveled
• 51:49
  Speaker 15: throughout the state over the last three months, and I
• 51:51
  Speaker 15: see in every county in every community. There's a story
• 51:55
  Speaker 15: of a repeat offender who's been out on the street.
• 51:57
  Speaker 15: It hurts someone shouldn't have been in there in the
• 51:59
  Speaker 15: first place. There's a story of some kid dying from
• 52:02
  Speaker 15: fetanyl should never have even been close to the fetanel.
• 52:05
  Speaker 15: We're seeing these tragedies, and they are preventable tragedies. I
• 52:09
  Speaker 15: want my kids to be safe, and everyone's kids to
• 52:11
  Speaker 15: be safe. It's why I'm running for a trained general.
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: All Right, well, Saitha, we wish you nothing but the
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: best out there. Thank you for the great work you're
• 52:19

  Speaker 3: They want to stop this incredible agenda that the president

• 57:00
  Speaker 3: one two six zero five nine two six. That's nine
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six. Our
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: good friend, Congressman Tim Burchett joined me on NEWSMACS last night.
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: Had a great conversation covering a lot of ground. You're
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: gonna I want you to pay very close attention to
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: what he says about Lindsey Graham kurpet bombing his farm
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: in East Tennessee, tig A.
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: A lot of people are really frustrated right now with
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: the Senate. What about yourself?
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: Completely?
• 57:27
  Speaker 8: I keep saying that thing that just ran value as
• 57:30
  Speaker 8: a glacier because I had my bill up to defund
• 57:34
  Speaker 8: the Talibann. Every week they get forty million dollars a
• 57:36
  Speaker 8: year's in my money and I can't get it on
• 57:39
  Speaker 8: the floor. I don't know what's it's just it's beyond me.
• 57:43
  Speaker 8: I think what you really see, though, is the sewer
• 57:45
  Speaker 8: of Washington, d C. You've got people in leadership that
• 57:49
  Speaker 8: hate this president so much that they'll wreck the country
• 57:53
  Speaker 8: so they can stay in power or gain more power.
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: It's about the suburb and it's about the.
• 57:58
  Speaker 8: Three three deeps, security going to places, not standing in line,
• 58:03
  Speaker 8: and just forgetting about the people that you represent.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: I think that's that's too many times. That's the trap
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: that we fall into.
• 58:10
  Speaker 8: And it's both parties, and it's on both in Congress
• 58:13
  Speaker 8: and in the Senate, so I see it every day,
• 58:15
  Speaker 8: but it's so blatant in the Senate right now because
• 58:18
  Speaker 8: President Trump has upset the Apple card. He's you know,
• 58:22
  Speaker 8: we've got all these appointments that we can't get through.
• 58:25
  Speaker 8: And I'll tell you what if we don't, if we
• 58:28
  Speaker 8: don't retain the majority, that not a single one of
• 58:32
  Speaker 8: them will get approved, not a single one of them.
• 58:35
  Speaker 8: And they've just been dragging their heels the whole way through.
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: Your colleague, Congressman Greg Stuby, agrees with you writing this
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: on acts. If Congress can't pass the common sense legislation
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: that Americans elected us to deliver, we don't deserve the
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: power they they've given us. You know, again, this goes
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: back to and I know you heard the Cenator there.
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: Mike Lee was was rattling about this on social media
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: that the majority of leader seems to think all of
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: us who are complaining are somehow paid influencers.
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: How do you respond to that slur?
• 59:09
  Speaker 8: That's ridiculous, and that's exactly what it is. It's just
• 59:12
  Speaker 8: I think it's somebody that doesn't understand what's going on.
• 59:15
  Speaker 8: They spent too much time in Washington and and maybe
• 59:18
  Speaker 8: go home in their own district. I don't know anywhere
• 59:21
  Speaker 8: anywhere in East Tennessee or Tennessee. I've been doing a
• 59:24
  Speaker 8: little stunted for Marshall Blackburn across the STATEUSUE runs for governor,
• 59:28
  Speaker 8: and that is usually the.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: First thing out of their mouth. Why can't y'all get
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: this save pass, the save America?
• 59:34
  Speaker 8: Why do I have to show a you know, a
• 59:38
  Speaker 8: Burth certificate when my kid? Why does my kid have
• 59:41
  Speaker 8: to show a birth certificate when they play Little League baseball?
• 59:44
  Speaker 8: And why do I have to show an idea if
• 59:46
  Speaker 8: I go buy a six pack of bear or a
• 59:48
  Speaker 8: scratch out down at the waiss here at Knoxville.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: So it's just it's beyond me, Todd.
• 59:54
  Speaker 8: I think it's the arrogance of power and it's a disassociation.
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: And they just don't want to work. So long they
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: haven't had to work.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 8: And that's why you're seeing so many lead Congress n
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 8: Senate because guess what they're having to work.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: They're having to make touch votes and they refuse to
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: So so Congressman Senator Lindsay Graham's one of the Republicans
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: opposing the changing the filibuster. He told another news network
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: on another issue. By the way, with regard to Iran,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: I'm with Israel. This is his quote until my dying day.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: A lot of folks are wondering. Okay, Senator, we appreciate
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: that sentiment, but what about Americans?
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: Are you with us? Sir?
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 8: I don't be careful what I say about Lindsay. I
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 8: don't want to get one form of confect bomb down
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 8: here again. He likes the fight, he likes the war
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 8: in the battle, but it's not him or me. It's
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 8: going to be my eighteen year old daughter and that
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 8: goes and fights in one of those crazy wars. And
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 8: I think we need to we need to remember that
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 8: with folks like him, I'm not sure he can, mister wreck.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 8: That's the problem with the Senate, and that is actually
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 8: the creation why the Senate was created for six years,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 8: because they realized that we're going to move on to
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 8: the next shiny object down the road, or as I
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 8: like to say, Americans want their pizzas in thirty minutes
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 8: or less. And that's about our dad gum attention span,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 8: and I'm guilty of that as well.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 8: I think they realized that run every six years versus
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 8: running every two years.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: And of course Congressman the Centator went on to talk
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: about sending the sons and daughters of South Carolina to
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: the Middle East. I really do wonder how the sons
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: and daughters of South Carolina feel about that.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: They have to be disgusted. Let's let the president continue.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 8: You know, I think they've dropped like twenty thousand bombs
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 8: over there, and I think they're prepared to do about
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 8: three hundred thousand pretty soon.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: They're not going to be fighting over anything.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 8: All we got to do is open up that open
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 8: up the canal over there in the straight I guess
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 8: is whatever they call it, and restore trade through there,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 8: and I think we're going to be okay. You know,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 8: the whole industry's crioket as and dogs to go. You
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 8: look at we don't even get any oil from from
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 8: our rand.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: And I know that the economists that they hire are
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: going to say, oh, virch, it doesn't get it. Oh
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 8: You've got a commodity that we have to have. And
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 8: anytime anybody comes along with any other newer energy. The
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 8: price immediately will drop down to where that is not profitable.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 8: It's a racket. The world knows that. We know it
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 8: because every time the oil goes up, the price of
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 8: oil goes up. They say the gas at the pumps
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 8: goes up exponentially. But guess where it doesn't go up.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 8: That quart of oil that you can buy it at
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 8: the auto park starter some reason, it doesn't go up
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 8: exponentially like gasoline, and that gasoline in the pumps has
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 8: already been paid for. They're just ripping us off. Diesel's
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 8: the first cut they take, or the second cut. It's
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 8: the chiefest mate.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: And I filled up.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 8: I told my daughter, I said, you're not going to
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 8: have that second year of school, honey. I had to
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 8: fill up the duly with diesel today.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: No, I ha, looked, I get it, tigers, when I
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: get it real quick before we let you go. There
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: are some late breaking developments Washington Post and Axios. They're
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: reporting that the White House Deputy Chief of Staff has
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: been privately urging House Republicans and this all happened earlier
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: today to stop emphasizing mass deportations and instead focused messaging
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: on removing violent criminals. Any chance you might be able
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: to verify that. Have you been given any marching orders now?
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: But that's always been what I've talked about. They're talking
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: about sending somebody home a multiple rapists, and I always
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: conclude send them home in a box, because you know,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: sending them away. If the Democrats get back in power,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: they're going to be right back in our countries we've
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: seen many times. But yeah, I mean, that seems like
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: a good strategy because of where we're hated. But I
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: think we better get a really good immigration plan similar
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: to the one under that was under rank, and that
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: would allow people to come in and work as long
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: as we know where they are and it's a seasonal
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: type of work where they can go home. That will
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: help both our economies and realize too, If somebody down
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: Central America makes five thousand dollars.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 8: A year, guess what they'll stay in their country. So
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 8: I think there's some opportunities there for Americans to invest,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 8: and that a fair point of marketing on legislation to
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 8: do just that, to give tax credits to folks that
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 8: want to invest down there, to keep the jobs down there.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: All right. I always love this guy. You know what's
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: interesting about Burchet. He just tells it like it is
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: and he doesn't really care who gets offended. And God
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: lov him for that. By the way, Burchet, something's going
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: on there for Senator Marshall Blackburn's running to be the
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: next governor of Tennessee. In she is going to be.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: It's it's just a matter of the election. But when
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: that happens, there will be an opening in the Senate
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: from Tennessee. And the speculation here in the volunteer state.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: And I'm curious to hear from our Tennessee listeners. We've
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 3: got a lot from Memphis to Chattanooga and parts parts
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: in between. I'd be curious to hear from you, folks.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: How do you feel about Tim Burchett being appointed to
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: the US Senate. I think that he could do a
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: lot of good and I think that he would be
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: a voice of reason in the Senate. But again, it's
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: ultimately up to the governor. And so the problem in
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: Tennessee is, you guys have a moderate Republican governor. His
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: name is Bill Lee. There's some talk that he may
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: appoint someone within his staff to that Senate seat, or
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: there's also some suggestion here that Blackburn may not resign
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: until the second before she takes the oath of office,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: and when that happens, she would be the person to
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: appoint the senator. And let me tell you something, Tim
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: Burchett has been by Blackburn's side through thick and thin,
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: and I think there's a great relationship there, a great friendship.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: So anyway, curious to hear from you folks in Tennessee,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: how would you feel about Tim Burchett being your next
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: US Senator? All right, got to take a break again.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: Our telephone number nine oh one two six zero five,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: nine two six. That number again, nine oh one two
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: six zero five, nine to six. May I tell you
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: about our friends over my faith assistant dot com. They're
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: one of the great sponsors of this program. And the
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: service they provide you is free of charge. There's literally
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: no there's no gimmicks, nothing, it's just free of charge.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: Doctor Michael Yusef, one of the great pastors in American
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: one of the great theologians, now has a great platform
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: where you can ask theological questions what does the Bible
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 3: say about war? For example? And you're going to get answers.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: My Faith Assistant dot com is the website you there's
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 3: no log in required, it's completely free. And as a
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: matter of fact, many times during the show over the
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: past three or four weeks that they've been on board
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: with us, I've actually used my faith assistant during the
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: program to find an answer to this question of that question.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: So one of the things you're going to get personalized guidance,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: For example, how can I share God's design for, say,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: sexuality with my child? Where did Jesus actually claim to
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: be God? What does the Bible say about politics? So
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: you're going to be able to get answers to all
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: those questions and so much more. So go check it out.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 3: It's sort of like a chant GPT or meta AI,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: but it's all theologically vetted, not for clicks, but for Christ.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: So again, my faith Assistant dot com will be right back,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: all right, Welcome back, Jesu A.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 10: Lou.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 3: I feel like I feel like Trump carpet bombing and
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: the Iranians, Dylan, We've been we've been dealing with this
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 3: Asian lady bug infestation.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 5: We are in a war.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: We're in a war and we're winning, are we?
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 5: I think I think being affected by our own weapons.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: Well, yes, apparently so during the commercial breaks, I've been
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: running around the news bunker, which is palatial, and I've
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: been like hosing it down with us. We sent the
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: lovely Miss Shelby out to get this home depot. We
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: found something that actually kills the lady bugs, but apparently
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: we're getting some of the fumes.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 5: It's very strong.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: It's a little pungent, if you will. Yeah, I may
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: not have been a good idea to spread agent orange
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: around the building because the lady bugs are not dying. No, No,
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: I've noticed this.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 5: They're indestructible. They have some sort of armor that we need.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: I've been told, whatever you do, don't squash them because
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: they apparently emit some sort of an awful, god awful odor.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 5: This is the first of its kind. They're like stink ladybugs.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 3: I yes, I don't know what to do. I've been
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: researching this. How do you stop the lady bugs from
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: getting into the building. That's what we're trying to figure
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: out is how they got in by the Is it
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: safe to say the tens of thousands?
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 5: Yes, very safe to say that. And you said the
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 5: other day that even if we do kill them, they'll
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 5: come back. It's like a seasonal thing.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: This cannot be I don't know how do we So
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: so they recommended calking that you so go and cak.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: So I've got the colcking gun and so I'm gonna
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 3: wait and do that after the show, so I don't
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: want to get carried away for now.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 5: We wait to see what this chemical is going to
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 5: do to all of us.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: I was told by an expert. They said, Starringe, you
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: need a calking gun, and you need to calk every
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 3: orifice in the building. And I'm like, every orifice they're small,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: never heard, never heard that phrase used before, but to
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 3: describe cracks in the building.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: All right, staff, bend over, take one for the team.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 5: It is crazy, like where you find these lady books,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 5: because they'll be inside of your shirt and you'll never
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 5: have seen it coming. And it's just living there for
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 5: who knows how long. Oh jeez, check your hair.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 3: This is not good.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 3: It is not good. So if anybody, if I don't
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: know if anybody's ever dealt with this sort of an infestation,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 3: I just it's the craziest thing. And we're being told
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: that there's really no way to combat these things, and
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 3: I find that impossible. I'm about to call the Pentagon
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: see if they can't do something, if they can eradicate
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 3: you know, the Iranian is lobbist. Surely, surely, rightly you
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: would think at least all right. Nine oh one two
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six is our telephone over,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 3: that's nine oh one two six zero five nine two
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: six coming up. We're gonna be talking to Mark Lynch.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: He is a businessman in South Carolina. He is going
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 3: to primary Lindsey Graham and he's using millions of his
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: own dollars. This is really remarkable, and he's really upset
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: over these comments that Lindsay Graham made. And we brought
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: it up with Tim Burchett. Burgess says, you know, I
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 3: really don't want to say anything really bad about Lindsey
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 3: Graham because he might just carpet bomb by farm. It's
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: a look, it's it is a reasonable concern. So anyway,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: we're gonna be talking to Mark Lynch about all of that,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 3: sending the sons and daughters of South Carolina to Iran
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: and I am curious. Look, and this is a judgment
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: for his zone more or less, but I am curious
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 3: your thoughts on the war. I mean there are a
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 3: lot of conservatives, a lot of conservatives who are very
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: concerned that we're over there, and I will say this
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 3: it there's going to be there's going to be a
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 3: strategy here because the country is too big. You know.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: They said, was it a couple of months back we
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: were blowing up something in Iron, Well, we obliterated their
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 3: nuclear site. Well, now apparently we're going to have to
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: obliterate it again. But before we obliterate anything, I think
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: we all need to step back and explore the definition
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: of the word obliterate, because I'm not sure it actually
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: means what people think it means. Because when something is obliterated,
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 3: it means it's gone no more Asian ladybugs obliterated. So
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: I'm partially obliterated. Okay, we could get away with that.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: But what I'm saying is I don't think that we're
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 3: going to have a white flag of surrender. And here's
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 3: how I think all of this is going to go
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 3: down over there. I think we're going to get to
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: a point where we have blown up as pretty much
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 3: everything we can possibly blow up. The Iranians are going
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 3: to say, all right, let's get together. We'll meet at
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: a you know, we'll meet in London or wherever and
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 3: will work out the terms of you know, a ceasefire.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 3: There will be talks, and at that point Trump will
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 3: declare victory and we will just go on with our lives.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 3: But the problem is the problem is still going to
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 3: be there, and the reasons for bombing Iran are changing daily.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 3: So I think everybody needs to get on the same page,
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 3: get the same talking points. Why exactly is it that
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 3: we are bombing Iran right now? What's the ultimate what's
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 3: the goal of all of this? When will we know
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 3: that we have achieved that goal? And again, if you
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: don't know what the goals are, well you're not going
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 3: to know when to pull the plug. And here's the deal.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: We can't We cannot still be at war with Iran
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 3: going into the midterm elections. Can't do that. I don't
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: think that's a good move. And I don't think the
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 3: American people and I may be off base here, and
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 3: if I am, you let me know, but I don't
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 3: think we're all I don't think I'm off base here.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 3: I don't believe the American people want to see their
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: sons and daughters boots on the ground in Iran. That
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: doesn't make you unpatriotic, that doesn't make you anti military.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 3: I just don't think that you. I get it. That
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: is a massively large country, and once we start putting
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 3: boots on the ground, we're going to have another twenty
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 3: year war on our hands. That's what a lot of
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: people are concerned about. But right now, again, the only
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 3: people talking about that are the Democrats and the media.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 3: Trump isn't talking well, the Administration's not telling us one
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 3: way or the other. So you can read that however
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: you want to read it. The way I'm interpreting that
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 3: is we're going to tell We're just not going to
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 3: tell you what we're going to do. But I don't
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: think Donald Trump wants to put boots on the ground.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: I will be very surprised if Donald Trump puts boots
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 3: on the ground, I really will. But at the end
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: of the day, we've got to we've got to have
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 3: some closure here and move on. Meanwhile, there's some reporting
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: that Putin may be getting ready to make a move
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: on the Baltic States, and if that happens, well, it's
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: it's gonna get messy, all right. Got to take a
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 3: break here, folks. Coming up. Also, our friends that Strategic
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: Financial Partners, Anna Martin, Chris Loft as they come every
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 3: week and they're going to be answering your financial question.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: So if you've got a question about bide ance, give
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 3: them a holler. We'll be doing that coming up in
• 1:15:11

• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: Hour three up next, Live from the Liberty University Studio
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: in Memphis, Tennessee. It's America's Conservative Blowtorch's.
• 1:15:42

• 1:15:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that is me. Hello, everybody, Welcome to the Tod
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 3: Searns Radio Program. What an honor to have you with
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 3: us today, very very busy newsday. By the way, I
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: I didn't have a chance to talk about this yesterday,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 3: but I've got to give a shout out to my
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 3: home state, the Volunteer State. There are very good people
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: who live here in Tennessee. And I'm born and raised
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 3: in Memphis and lived lived in Middle Tennessee, East Tennessee,
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 3: and of course back home in West Tennessee. Spent fifteen
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 3: years at Fox News Channel, and when my contract was up,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 3: I knew it was time to come back home. And
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 3: because I just you know, it's short of it's sort
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: of like I don't Remember the of the shoes, Dylan,
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: the ugs, remember the ugs, ugly. You don't forget about ugs.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 3: My slippers, MIKEL tells, my slippers. Those things are snuggly.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 3: You just feel, you feel warm, and you feel like
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: you're where you're supposed to be.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 3: That's how I feel about Tennessee.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 5: Me too.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 3: It's a good place. So anyway, over the well, just
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 3: over the weekend, word came out our good buddy, John Rich,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 3: who who's been on this show many times. John sent
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: out the all call. There was a gentleman, a military veteran,
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 3: a Navy veteran, had passed away, no family at all,
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 3: no friends. He died alone and there was no one
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: to attend his funeral. So John Rich put out the
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: all call, and yesterday nearly two hundred Tennesseeans showed up
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: at the military veteran cemetery there in Middle Tennessee and
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 3: they attended this man's funeral. People from all walks of life.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 3: And it's just a reminder. As crazy as things are
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: in Washington, d C. As crazy as things are in
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 3: America right now with the gogs, the gals of Girth
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 3: and all of that crowd, there are so many more
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: good and decent, hardworking American people. They're just raising their families,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: they're going to church, loving God and trying to serve
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 3: him the best way they can. And that was on display.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 3: We've got a new video up over on our Facebook page,
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 3: and if you're not following a on the socials, I
• 1:18:00

• 1:18:04
  Speaker 3: great content with you as well. So head over to
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 3: our Facebook page Todd Sterns f NC, and you'll be
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 3: able to watch the new videos. All right, I'm excited
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: about our next guest. His name is Mark Lynch. He
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 3: is a businessman and he is he is running for
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 3: the US Senate in a primary battle against Lindsey Graham.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: And I tell you what, this guy is really making
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 3: an impact right now in the Palmetto State. Mark Lynch,
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 3: Welcome to the program, sir.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 12: Hey, hey, Todd, thank you for having me on this
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 12: and honor you know.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 3: I we had Congressman Tim Burchett on the news my
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 3: newsmach show last night and he made a quip and
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 3: he was being half serious about, you know, criticizing Lindsay Graham,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 3: and he said he had to be careful what he
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 3: said about Lindsay because he was afraid Lindsay Mike Carpet
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 3: bomb his farm in East End of Sea. I mean,
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 3: there's sadly, there's a lot of truth there. Lindsey Graham
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 3: wants to send South Carolina sons and daughters to Iran
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: and he said that verbatim on Fox News Channel. And
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 3: I'm curious, as our starting point here, what do you
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 3: think about that?
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 12: Well, South Carolinians have been asking where has Lindsay been
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 12: the last year. He's starting wars all over the world,
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 12: you know, because he makes a lot of money through
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 12: the military industrial complex with Boeing and Lakeen Bartner are
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 12: some of his biggest contributors. We noticed in twenty twenty
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 12: when he ran against Jamie Harrison. And it's interesting that
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 12: he's going to come back to South Carolina. He said
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 12: to gather up our boys and girls and put them
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 12: into war over in the Mid East, and I don't
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 12: think he's going to be able to do that, and
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 12: people have that's not the reason we want to see
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 12: him come back into South Carolina. And he's missed. He's
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 12: missed the whole thing. He hadn't seen the forest for
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 12: the trees, because we've been infiltrated with Islam terrorists for
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 12: twenty years and he was part of that with his
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 12: grandesty approach, wanting to give illegal aliens amnesty, not knowing
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 12: who they are. And now we're all worried about the
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 12: sleeper sales all over America and South Carolina, and you know,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 12: well he hadn't dealt with America first. People want US
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 12: senators to serve their people in the state in South
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 12: Carolina and to serve America first, not go outside of
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 12: our country and worry about everything else that's going on
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 12: all over the world when we've got major problems right
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 12: here at home.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 3: By the way, Mark, if I can just interject here
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 3: real quick, we do have some breaking news to share.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: With you, breaking news now on the Todd starn Show.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 3: And Mark, to your point, the FBI just issuing a warning.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 3: They are very concerned, issuing a warning to police departments
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 3: in California that Iran may retaliate against the United States
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 3: by launching drones aimed at inflicting damage on the West Coast.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 3: This coming from ABC News. This I want to read
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: this to you. The statement from the front from the
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 3: FEDS we acquired information that as early as February twenty
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 3: twenty six, Aroon aspired to conduct a surprise attack using
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 3: unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 3: of the United States homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 3: And again, Mark, this is not a surprise here because
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 3: we've known, I mean, members of Congress for at least
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 3: the past five years have been coming on my show
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: saying it's not a matter of if, but when the
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 3: bad guys are going to strike on American soil.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 12: That's right. You know, with Biden and Obama's administrations, the
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 12: terrorists have walked into this country, into this country to
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 12: go to their pointed locations. And you know, I've been
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 12: working in the National Security ram with some strong individuals
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 12: fighting for our our country to stop the Islamic infiltration
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 12: in America. So we've known about this, and so is Lindsay.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 12: And he's now all about, you know, shutting down the
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 12: sanctuary cities that he created. You know, he sends out
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 12: a direct mail piece to his voters and the Republican Party.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 12: I get them because I've donated to the Republican Party
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 12: about his Uh, proud to be part of the Lake
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 12: and Riley Act. And I've told everybody in my campaign,
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 12: I'll pay to fly he and I and we'll go
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 12: to the Raleigh home. And I want to hear what
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 12: he has to say to the Raleigh family about their
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 12: daughter being beaten up and brutally raped and murdered by
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 12: the people he allowed to come into this country. That's
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 12: not America first, and that's treason. He's not defending us
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 12: against foreign and domestic enemies. He's overseas creating more war
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 12: so he can make more money for Lindsey first. And
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 12: we're all tired of it.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 3: Well, now apparently he wants us to go after Cuba
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 3: and start you know, I guess in what Cuba? I
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 3: mean again, what is Lindsey Graham doing for the good
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 3: people of South Carolina? And I'm curious to know what
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 3: the sons and daughters of South Carolina think about their senator,
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 3: their senior senator, wanting to send them over to fight
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 3: for the freedom of the Iranians.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 12: Yeah, well, they're seeing again who Lindsay really is. And
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 12: when we publish and talk about his lifetime constitutional voting
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 12: record of fifty seven percent, that's who he is. He's
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 12: failing us. And so you know, when employees fail and
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 12: they don't do their jobs and they're helping other organizations
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 12: that we compete with, we fire them in our company.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 12: They don't get the state. And Lindsay's showing his true colors,
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 12: and he's living up to who he is. He's a
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 12: trader and he's not a Republican, and he just moves
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 12: to the right during an election season and acts like
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 12: he is, but who he truly is is the opposite.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 12: And everybody's seeing it full time and it's letting him
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 12: implode himself. Now it's happening in twenty twenty six will
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 12: be a awesome year in the elections. This Senate campaign
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 12: that we have running against Lindsey Graham. People are ready,
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 12: they're cheering us on. We're winning everywhere we present, and
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 12: South Carolinians are done with Lindsay.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 3: What is it going to take to oust Lindsey Graham?
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, he is certainly entrenched. He's been representing you
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 3: guys in Congress and the Senate since the nineteen nineties.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 3: What is it going to take to boot him out
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 3: of office?
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 12: Well, first of all, our people that support our campaign,
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 12: we win this on our knees in prayer. Second, it
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 12: involves getting activated and calling everybody you know and talking
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 12: about it. If everybody takes their phone and calls their
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 12: contact list and lets them know we have a viable
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 12: candidate in Mark Lynch and go to our website at
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 12: Lynch per Senate. I'm committed to this campaign when we
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 12: jumped in and prayed about it and decided we would
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 12: run to take out Lindsey Grant. It's a big uphill battle.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 12: People say, but he's just a man, you know. But
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 12: we put five million dollars of our own money into
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 12: this campaign to set it, to launch it, to let
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 12: people know we're committed and let them see that we
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 12: have skin in the game. And I want to thank
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 12: all of our contributors out there that are that are
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 12: fighting with us, that are joining a winning campaign. We
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 12: now have a viable candidate, a true American first, God
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 12: fearing conservative Republican candidate that's willing to take this on
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 12: because it's winnable and we're going to win it. That's
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 12: what's happening. Is happening everywhere we speak across the state.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: God Lynch just awesome.
• 1:25:45

  Speaker 3: You know, Mark, before we let you go. Of course,
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of anger and frustration right now within
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 3: well direct ant the US Senate, a majority leader John Thune.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 3: And I'm just curious, let's say you do get elected,
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 3: how do you deal with a rogue leader like John Thune?
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 12: Expose it, let people hear what's really going on, talking
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 12: about it on Fox News and getting people to call in.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 12: And you know, I work for the people, Lindsay works
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 12: for Lindsay. I come to represent South Carolinians in America
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 12: and I work for you, and we'll bring back god
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 12: bearing difficult first decision making processes filtered with a constitution
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 12: to get rid of these people that are traitors in America.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 12: And it's just America needs to stand up and say
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 12: no to the evil and it's our country and it's
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 12: time to take it back. And I'm asking all the
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 12: patriots out there help us take back what the enemy
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 12: stole from us. And we can do it together. We
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 12: can do this.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 3: Has Lindsey Graham embarrassed the state of South Carolina.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 12: Every day? He's a total embarrassment. I hear that everywhere
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 12: we go across the state. He's been an embarrassment for
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 12: South Carolina for years.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 3: All right, well, Mark, we're gonna leave it there. We'll
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 3: certainly get you back on down the road again. Lynch
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 3: for Senate dot Com is the website. Mark. Good luck
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 3: to you out there, my friends.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 12: Yes, thank you, Todd, thank you for what you're doing
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 12: for this country.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 3: All right, Mark Lynch, everybody there in South Carolina taking
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 3: on Lindsey Graham, and we'll keep you updated on that battle.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 3: I will say this. The latest polling data came out,
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 3: I think in October, and it had Graham at oh
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 3: well over fifty six percent, Mark Lynch in second place.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 3: By the way, twenty actually undecided, A twenty percent was
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 3: leading Will. I'm sure there will be some new polling
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 3: data coming out, and I suspect Lynch will go up
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 3: in those polls. All right, let's take a break. When
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 3: we come back, we're going right to the phone lines
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 3: And I am curious to hear from you. Is it
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 3: time for us to get out of Iran? Do you
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 3: want us to get out of Iran? Or do you
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 3: want us to completely demolish the regime and install new leadership.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 3: This is the Tod Sterns Show. All right, welcome back
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 3: to everybody. Good to have you with us. So gosh,
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 3: right before the show, had my had my call. I
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 3: do a weekly call with the PhD Weight Loss and
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 3: the great team there, and they're keeping me honest. Oh,
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 3: I forgot to tell them about the Chick fil A
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 3: sandwich yesterday. Dylan, whoops, my bad, not the number seven,
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 3: No number one. I got the number one. I should
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 3: have got the number seven.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's okay, it is what it is.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 3: Uh So, anyway, all that to say, you know, they
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 3: want to know, all right, how are things are going.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 3: And it's funny because they're like, you need to have
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 3: more fat in your diet. And I'm like, wait what
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 3: I said? I thought that was the whole point of
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 3: losing weight. But you gotta have a little bit as
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 3: what they were telling me. So they told me to
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 3: start throwing in a little tab of butter in my
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 3: scrambled eggs that I make every morning along with the
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 3: crim fresh. By the way, that's how you make those soft,
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 3: fluffy eggs. Wow, it's yeah, a little dollop of a
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 3: little dollup of crim fresh boom, You've got silky smooth eggs.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna try it.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 3: It's a Bobby Flay thing. It's a Bobby fla trick
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 3: and it works. It's great well anyway, PhD weight loss
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 3: down thirteen pounds. Ladies and gentlemen haven't been able to
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 3: do a lot of the extra. I'm a big walker
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 3: and the weather's been insanely bad here in here in
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 3: the mid South. But let me say something here about
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 3: PhD weight loss. One of the things they helped me
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 3: understand is exactly what that one thing was for me
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 3: that determines how quickly I start burning body at and
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 3: how to start losing weight. And I've never done that before,
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 3: and so therefore, every time I've gone on a diet,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 3: you know, it doesn't work out all that great. But
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, I'm really excited about PhD weight loss.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 3: I've been on it for like three and a half
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 3: weeks now, and they've built a plan for me and
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 3: it's working. And then they tweak things here and there
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 3: by the way they have me eating berries berries as
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 3: a snack it's not too bad. You know, they said, no,
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 3: don't do the candalope do the berries. So anyway, I
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 3: want to encourage you to go check them out. And look,
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 3: I know, I know you guys. Do all the plans
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 3: cost you a lot of money. Well, the great thing
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 3: here about PhD Weight Loss. They're going to give you
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 3: two free weeks in the program. They're going to pay
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 3: for your food, everything for two weeks. And if you
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 3: start seeing results, let me tell you something, you're going
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 3: to want to continue. That's exactly what I did. So
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 3: you can go visit their website myphdweightloss dot com. That's
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 3: my phdeweightloss dot com and say Starns. Well, I think
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 3: you have to write Starns on the website, or you
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 3: can give them a call eight six for pardon me,
• 1:31:03

• 1:31:07

• 1:31:16
  Speaker 3: us and we'll hook you up with all that intel.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 3: All right, let's go to the phones. Charles North, Carolina
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 3: wants to talk about war and Iran.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 7: Charles go, Hey, Todd, I'm very concerned about this war
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 7: and Iran and insipplications on how it's going to affect
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 7: the country in the midterms. War has never worked out
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 7: good is for the political for the party in power.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 7: I mean, you go back to nineteen sixty four and
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 7: you know the start of the Vietnam War with the
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 7: Golf Golf of Tonkin resolution. You look what that did
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 7: to LBJ. You look how Vietnam affected Richard Nixon. You
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 7: look how the Iraq War affected the Republican Party. You
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 7: know when John McCain still wanted to stay over there
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 7: in two thousand and eight, he got beat by Barack Obama.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 7: And unless we get out of there, unless we just
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 7: I think, declare victory and get out of there and
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 7: come home in the next couple of months, I think
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 7: it is going to just totally tank the Republican Party
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 7: and our chances in the midterms. I don't know, I
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 7: just that's just my thinking, Todd.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 3: There's just a lot of noise right now, and it's like,
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, look, Trump is everything Trump is doing is
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 3: actually working for the economy right now. Yeah, gas prices
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 3: are going up when we talked about all of that.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 3: But I think I'm wondering, Charles, do we need to
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 3: get back along onto messaging.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Absolutely, I mean I think we and he needs
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 7: to focus more on these, you know, the domestic issues.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 7: I mean, like you mentioned gas prices going up. If
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 7: they stay up, pretty soon, you're going to see the
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 7: price of food going back up because it comes in
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 7: on you know, diesel trucks. That's going to give the Democrats,
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 7: you know, something to talk about the midterms. But I mean,
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 7: these far and wars though, that's this, This isn't what
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 7: I voted for.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 6: This is not what I voted for.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 7: And I've talked to a lot of people the last
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 7: couple of weeks, and as much as we disliked the
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 7: Toola and Iran and I certainly have a vivid memory
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 7: going back to nineteen seventy nine when they took over,
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 7: our focus needs to be right here at home. We've
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 7: got our own Islamic problem right here in the streets
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 7: of our cities. And I tell you, people people like
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 7: Lindsey Graham Todd, that guy, he has supported every war
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 7: and that we've been in. And he and I don't
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 7: think there's a country he would want us to invade Charles.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 3: Gott to leave it there, my friend, we are, we're
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 3: gonna we got to make a quick break here. But

• 1:35:13
  Speaker 16: and I was like, good lord.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 3: I felt bad for these people. There is some sense
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 3: of irony though. There was one company one town and
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 3: they're like super environmentally friendly, you know, the electric cars
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 3: and all the whatnot of the heavies. Massive fields of
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 3: solar panels destroyed. Oh that's terrible. It's the hail just
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 3: took them all out. So I guess they're back to
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 3: the old fashioned way, you know, don't fix it if
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 3: anything broke, kerosene lanterns exactly. All right, what are we
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 3: talking about today, guys?
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 16: You know, there's a particular scenario that I've I just
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 16: witnessed recently that I thought it would be a good
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 16: opportunity to speak to the listeners because they may be
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 16: experiencing the same situation. Just the high level cliff notes.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 16: This was a young couple who were investing money pretty
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 16: regularly into a roth Ira and they just thought everything
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 16: was going good. And then they said, you know, I'd
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 16: be open for a second opinion. And one of the
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 16: things that we saw immediately was that the dollars that
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 16: were coming out of their checking account going into their
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 16: wrath was not being invested into the market. It was
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 16: just sitting in cash. So what's the problem there, Well,
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 16: you're paying an asset management fee to have somebody manage
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 16: your assets. Why do you need to pay a fee
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 16: for cash? You can accomplish the same thing in a
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 16: checking account with no fee.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 3: So how common is that though? For like the investors
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 3: to contribute to an account like a wroth Ira, but
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 3: they actually never invest the money.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 16: I hate to say it, but we see it more
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 16: often than I would care to admit. But that's the
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 16: power of inspecting what you expect. You know, just because
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 16: you have a good working relationship. And I would say
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 16: that even for our clients, you know, always hold us,
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 16: hold our feet to the fire, hold us accountable. That's
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 16: why we have annual, quarterly, semi annual reviews. Is to
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 16: sit down and reassure you that what you're doing is working,
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 16: and if there's not something that's working, we try to
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 16: fix it in those meetings.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 13: You know, that's where it comes in with the monitor
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 13: monitoring and updating your situation regularly. It's this can't be
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 13: a set and forget it situation.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 3: So when you look at the potential, you know long
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 3: term consequences. I mean, we're talking about retirement contributions. They're
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 3: just sitting in cash and it's not being invested. What
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 3: what does that look like long term?
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 16: So the one thing that we always try to tell
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 16: our clients is that why do we invest in it's
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 16: to outpace inflation. Cash is not going to outpace inflation.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 16: So if you're just contributing in it, sitting in a
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 16: cash position, you run a very big risk of not
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 16: having enough money to live in your retirement years.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 3: I guess you know my my question would be, and
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 3: again I never would have thought about what you just said.
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 3: I just would have assumed, So what do what if
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 3: somebody like me need to do? You know, if I've
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 3: got a company that's investing for me, how do I
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 3: need to make sure that they're actually investing that money.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 16: Well, we have what's called our Investor three sixty, which
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 16: is our client portal application that they can at any
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 16: time they want log in and look at their accounts
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 16: and that shows them what they're paying in fees. That
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 16: shows them how they're allocated in the market. So I
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 16: would say, just periodically hop on whatever platform you may
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 16: have and just inspect what you expect, you know, look
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 16: at it and say, is my money being invested? Am
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 16: I comfortable with this rate of return? Do I want
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 16: to make some changes? Has your risk changed? But then
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 16: that's when you set an appointment with your advisor and
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 16: you tell them what's concerning to you so that we
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 16: can make a pivot and gets you back to feeling comfortable.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 13: And there's something else actually, So there was a standard
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 13: life study that was done recently amongst the baby boomer generation,
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 13: and this kind of speaks to you know, being on
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 13: top of and knowing what you have and what it's
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 13: doing for you. I mean, Todd, would you believe that
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 13: over fifty two percent of baby boomers don't know how
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 13: much they have in their pension savings? And that's just
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 13: ridiculous at the end of the day, and that's not
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 13: necessarily on them, but that's on the fact that some
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 13: of those people don't have an advisor or the advisor
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 13: advisors they do work with, they're just letting it run.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 13: They just don't They don't have those regular updates, they
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 13: don't have those regular check ins, and it's important that
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 13: they know what they have and how they have it
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 13: so they can plan adequately for their future.
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 3: How often should you actually check in?
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 16: I would say at least two times a year. Semi
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 16: annual is a good rule of thumb in my opinion.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 16: That way, it's not just hey, I forgot what we
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 16: talked about a year ago, it's a six months It's like, hey,
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 16: last time we met, we talked about doing this, And
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 16: that gives me, as the advisor, an opportunity to measure
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 16: your progress. I can say, hey, we talked about this
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 16: six months ago, where are we at today? And that
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 16: helps me say, well, we we have bigger issues because
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 16: we haven't prioritized this and it needs to be a priority.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 3: Adam Martin and Chris Loftus are joining us from Strategic
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 3: Financial Partners. Strategicfinancial Partners dot com is their website and
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 3: if you have a question, give us a call nine
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five, nine to six. Now, Adam,
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 3: you mentioned that this and this case study that they
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 3: were actually paying an advisory fee, and I'm wondering, as
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 3: far as those fees, what kinds of questions should investors
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 3: be asking to understand what they're paying for and what
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 3: they're getting for that.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 16: So I would just say, give me a fee breakdown.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 16: Every annual meeting that we're held by compliance to have,
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 16: we have to discuss the fees. What are you paying for?
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 16: And are you okay with the services that you've gotten
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 16: from what you paid In the way of fees. It's
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 16: very easy for our clients to just kind of disregard
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 16: that because it's not like that they have to write
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 16: us a physical check for those fees. Those are usually
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 16: deducted from the account, so it's out of sight, out
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 16: of mind. And that's why it's our responsibility to bring
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 16: that up in our meetings, because those questions typically don't
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 16: get asked by the clients. They just want to know,
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 16: am I doing okay? Do I need to make any changes?
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 16: So that's why you should be asking these questions, because
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 16: in this particular scenario, you're paying for something that you're
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 16: not getting.
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 3: I have to imagine though you're with a lot of
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 3: families there. You know, it's sort of a generational thing
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 3: where you know, grandma and grandpa used the same local advisor.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 3: Mom and dad used the local advisor because grandma and
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 3: grandpa used it, and then the kids are using the
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 3: same one. Is there anything Is there anything wrong with
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 3: that or should you know? Is there anything wrong with
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 3: maybe getting a second opinion on their financial plan?
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 16: Well, I would first start by saying, your financial plan
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 16: is yours, So however you want to handle that, that's
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 16: the way you should approach it. If you feel more
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 16: comfortable talking to somebody that's closer in age, it has
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 16: the same walk of life, and you feel like you're
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 16: getting better service, then make that change. But what I
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 16: see most of the time with generational advisor planning is
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 16: that they get the kids or the grandkids in and
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 16: they have one conversation and then they don't talk to
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 16: them ever again, you know, or they spend a long
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 16: time in between meetings before they get back in and
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 16: ask them what's changed or what's concerning. So, for this
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 16: particular situation, it was a generational planning. The gentleman had
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 16: an advisor that his dad and mom used and he
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 16: just thought, Hey, everything is good because I trust the man.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 16: He's helping my parents. And another thing that he brought
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 16: up was when we showed him he was paying for
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 16: something he wasn't getting, he was like, well, I didn't
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 16: think my account was big enough, and that that really
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 16: hurts me. I hate hearing that, because it doesn't matter
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 16: where you start. It's the end game of where we're going.
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 16: You will eventually have enough assets, if it's invested right,
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 16: for it to be worth this time. And that shouldn't
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 16: be a concern to that advisor at all. He's supposed
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 16: to do what he's supposed to do.
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 3: And I think a lot of that comes back again
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 3: to something you said, it's all about reviewing your finances.
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 3: You've got to do those. I guess sort of like
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 3: I guess maybe a health and wellness check.
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 16: I mean, health and wellness is the best way to
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 16: put it. I mean, if you're doctor told you you
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 16: had a terminal illness, what's the next thing you're going
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 16: to go do? Get a second opinion? Right, so look
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 16: at your fine. It's the same way get a funeral plot.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 3: But yeah, that makes sense.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 15: It's not.
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 13: Something to add to Adam's point. So another just to
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 13: give another statistic here, so only about you know, let's
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 13: say there's a bunch of those people who are have
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 13: that mindset, oh I don't have a big enough account. Well,
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 13: only about thirty two percent of gen z gen z
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 13: actually work with financial advisor.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 5: That that is actual statistic exactly.
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 13: And only about twenty six percent of Americans overall have
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 13: a financial advisor period. That the New York Posts did,
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 13: that one did that survey. And so that's just telling
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 13: us that not because oh there's not enough people out
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 13: there who have you know, have the funds or have
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 13: the current financial stats. No, that tells us there is
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 13: a huge service gap when it comes to people who
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 13: are getting quality, sound advice and how to make plans
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 13: for that next step in that next season.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 3: You know, it's just as as an aside here, We've
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 3: got a guy at Newsmax who is a big social
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 3: Security expert, and he said, there are some things you
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 3: may not even know about that could help you get
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 3: even more Social Security money. And again it's a matter
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 3: of just educating yourself. And to your point, that's why
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 3: you need a financial advisor to show you and to
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 3: educate you about the things that you may be completely
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 3: clueless about. And this is our profession.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 16: This is what I've spent the last ten years of
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 16: my life trying to perfect, is being able to answer
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 16: those types of questions. Solid security is a huge topic
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 16: that we talk a lot about. You know, there's scenarios
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 16: where we'll help god a client and say, did you
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 16: know you could get your spouse's SOLI security benefit if
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 16: it's a predeceased situation which they didn't realize they could,
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 16: Or we look at it and say, hey, you qualify
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 16: for AB and C based on your situation. But that's
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 16: what we do, is that we look at how things
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 16: change in the laws we were held to doing continuing
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 16: education and make sure that we're staying current. And we
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 16: want to make sure that when you leave our office
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 16: you're leaving better than we found you.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 3: And if you have a financial question you want to
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 3: ask on air or off air, the guys will be
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 3: happy to call you back. Give us a holler nine
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 3: to oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 3: that's I know one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 3: The website against Strategicfinancialpartners dot com. Adam, say you know
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 3: you're you're checking out your finances. You're doing your review
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 3: twice a year, what are key areas beyond just the
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 3: investments that we should be evaluating.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 16: So I'm a comprehensive financial planning advisor. I'm not just
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 16: an asset manager. So what I do is that I
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 16: look at your holistic picture and so we will talk
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 16: about investing money in the market, but then I'm also
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 16: going to talk about your risk mitigation. So obviously we
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 16: want to leave a legacy for our families, and some
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 16: people do better than others and saving dollars in investing money.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 16: But what are some areas that I can still accomplish
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 16: those legacy planning goals when that's typically an insurance or
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 16: we do it in the way of protecting your income,
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 16: so disability income or the biggest one right now that
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 16: a lot of people aren't planning for that. I'm having
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 16: conversations around is long term care planning because modern medicine
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 16: is keeping us around longer. Although we're living longer doesn't
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 16: mean that our quality of life is better. We may
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 16: have to have an assisted living person come into the house,
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 16: or we may need to go to an assisted living facility.
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 16: Those dollars that are that cost has a detrimental effect
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 16: on portfolios, and I want to be proactive in getting
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 16: out in front of that. So that's an insurance soft
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 16: it's not just investment management.
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 3: I never would have thought about that, And especially you
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 3: know here lately, you know, you're starting to look ahead.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 3: You know, what does that like, What does life look
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 3: like fifteen, twenty thirty years down the road. And someone
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 3: told me this, Oh, you want to look into one
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 3: of these retirement places, and I'm like, are you what
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 3: I said? I'm not ready to go there just yet.
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 3: And on one of the downsides is that, you know,
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 3: for a guy you're in your fifties and you show
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 3: up for breakfast every morning, it's like, where's Harry Well,
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 3: he died last night. You know, it's like everything, I'm
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 3: not sure I'm ready for that every single day. But again,
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 3: it's when when I was looking at you know, I
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 3: went over there to look at the place, and it
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 3: is really amazing and it's pretty state of the art.
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 3: But then you start looking at all of the expenses
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 3: and you're like, holy cow, You've got to start preparing
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 3: now for that time when it's you know, you've got
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 3: to move into your forever home.
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 16: I'm tying it all back together. Why you should be
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 16: holding your advisor's feet to the fire and making sure
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 16: that your dollars are invested properly. Is that expense that
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 16: you just mentioned, that's part of what we're planning for.
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 16: So if we aren't competitively earning a good rate of
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 16: return in the years proactively planning for a long term
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 16: care situation, then we're gonna get hit with a knee
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 16: jerk reaction later that could be detrimental to the success
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 16: of your retirement.
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 13: You know, Todd. Something that I think Adam and I
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 13: would like to ask your listeners is a simple question
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 13: of who do you want to call the shots when
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 13: it comes down to your your golden years right? Do
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 13: you want to be calling the shots or do you
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 13: want that decision to be forced on you by your children?
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 13: Do you want them to create the plan because of
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 13: something that's comming it for them or what makes sense
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 13: for them at the end of the day. I think
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 13: ninety nine percent of your listeners would probably say, Oh,
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 13: I want to be in control of that. I want
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 13: to make that decision because I know what I need
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 13: that goes into long term care planning. That is the
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 13: emphasis of this conversation is making sure that you're making
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 13: decisions now so you can give yourself the opportunity to
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 13: make those same decisions later.
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 3: It's it's just great guidance and novice. And in my
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 3: in our own family life, my grandparents completely prepared. They
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 3: were like, we do not want you to do anything.
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 3: You know, we're going to take care of it. My
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 3: parents they were the exact opposite of that, you know,
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 3: and so, and it puts a lot, It puts a
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 3: lot of it puts a lot on the kids, and
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 3: and so I understand why my grandparents did what they did.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 3: So again, this is all about preparing so that you
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 3: can you and your families can be ready as as
