  Speaker 1: From Memphis, Tennessee, it's Common Sense Conservative Commentary from Todd Starr.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: That's us, that's right.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: And hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starnes Radio Show.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Great to have you with us wherever you may be
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: listening across this great nation, border to border, coast to coast,
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: across the fruited plain. We have a lot going on today.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: It is Election Eve. And ladies and gentlemen, this is
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: the most consequential election in recent memory. Great to have
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: you with us today. Normally, we do not have guests
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: this early in the program, but we have a very
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: special guest on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. He is
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: the busiest man in politics right now. House Speaker Mike
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Johnson joins us live. Speaker Johnson, good to have you
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: with us, and we sure do appreciate the great job
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: you've been doing out on the campaign trail.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Hey, Todd, thank you so much. I'm talking to you
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: from our motorcade. I'm in North Carolina right now, heading
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: into a a rally for Colonel Laurie Buck out. She's
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: going to flip a blue seat to red in North
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Carolina's 1st District. Heading from North Carolina, going to Virginia
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: today for Rob Whitman and Jim Kiggins, our incredible incumbents there.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Then I wind up in Texas tomorrow with multiple candidates.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Then back to my home district in Louisiana. But, brother,
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: we're leaving it all on the field because we have to.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: You said it right. This is the most important election.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: That ain't a bumper sticker slogan this time, man. That
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: is really, really the truth that we're facing. A crossroads
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: as a nation. We're either going to keep the republic,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: preserve its freedom, or we're going to go down this dark,
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: dangerous road to socialism and communism, Marxism. I don't think
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: the people are signing up for that, Todd. And I
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: believe we're going to win. I believe we're going to
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: defy the polls and the pundits. My team just told
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: me this morning I've now completed 93 campaign events across
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: 24 states just this month alone. I was with the
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: president on the stage at the big event in Iowa
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: just last night, just yesterday. And we're going to leave
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: it all on the field, he and I and all
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: of us. We're going to win this thing.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: The New York Times today came out with their poll
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: predicting a blue tsunami.
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: Mr.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Speaker, I have not sensed that at all during the
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: campaign cycle, and I just really believe the American people
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: are going to stand up to this rise of socialism.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: They are, Todd. Let me just say this very clearly.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: You can totally dismiss these bogus polls. I'm telling you,
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: They are wrong. I have traveled more than anybody in America.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: I've been to all the swing districts, the blue states,
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: the places they say that all hope is lost for
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: the Republicans. They are wrong. We have huge enthusiastic crowds everywhere.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: People are riled up. It feels like 2024 to me
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: on the campaign trail. But here's what everybody needs to understand.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: The reason the polls are off is because they have
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: faulty analysis. Republicans are not participating in polls anymore, okay?
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: I keep trying to explain that to everybody and the
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: media types, and they dismiss it. CNN was forced to
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: run a story just a week ago on Monday, and
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: they acknowledged that the mid-October generic congressional ballots have underestimated
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Republicans in 15 of the last 16 elections, and they
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: have underestimated them by an average of four points. Top
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: four points is the margin in almost every seat that
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: we're all fighting about. I'm telling you, they are not
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: talking to Republicans. They're oversampling Democrats. And that is going
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: to be, I think this is going to be a
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: shameful night on Tuesday for the polling industry. It may
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: be a fatal blow to them because they just don't
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: work anymore.
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: Mr.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Speaker, I'm curious about Haley Stevens. And I want to
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: get your reaction to the vitriol coming from members of
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: her own party. I mean, they're taking her out of
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: the party. She's become something of a pariah. Are you
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: surprised by the way the Democrats have reacted?
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: I'm not, because that's where the Democrat Party is today.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Haley is a very kind and good person. She's a colleague.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: I've enjoyed working with her. In fact, I spoke with
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: her the night before last, before all the news broke yesterday,
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: and she made her big decision, the right decision, the ethical,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: moral decision, to endorse Mike Rogers for the Senate in
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: her state, the Republicans. Before she did that, I spoke
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: with her the night before. She called me. In fact,
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: I was just leaving an event, and I was late
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: in the evening. And, you know, I'm the speaker. I'm
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: not just the, you know, I'm the leader of my
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: party in the legislative branch, but I'm also the speaker
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: of the whole House, and that's who we're all members.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: And so when they have cause of concern, they reach
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: out to me, and that's my job, and I try
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: to comfort her. I mean, she was obviously beginning to
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: feel this enormous weight from the party and the vitriol,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: the vicious attack they put on her and her fiancé.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: And I'm just going to be frank about this, because
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: her fiancé is Jewish, because Haley is Jewish. That's what
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: is at stake there. That's what you're seeing. Watch them
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: judge these people by their actions, not their campaign rhetoric.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: And Al-Sayed is a danger to the Senate. He would
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: be a danger to the American way, because he is
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: a big government socialist, and he has had familial ties
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: with the Muslim Brotherhood.
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: And all the rest.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: And Haley did the right, heroic, courageous thing. She just
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: simply said, my goodness, Aren't we past scapegoating an entire people,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: the Jewish people, for everything that's wrong in society? That's
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: what Al Zayed's commercials.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Are doing, okay?
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: And she just politely asked them not to do it,
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: and they turned on her like a bunch of vipers.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: That's what we're facing. This is not our father's Democrat
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Party anymore. There's more of this to come if we
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: don't defeat it at the ballot box.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I'm wondering about President Trump's rallies, and you were at
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: the rallies this weekend. The media says that they're actually
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: detrimental to the Republican cause. I would say this is
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: exactly what we need to see that enthusiasm that the
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: media refuses to cover. I'm just wondering, what has that
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: experience been like? My hat is off to the president.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know where he finds the stamina to do
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: all of this.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: He is a force of nature, as you know. He
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: doesn't sleep. He is an inexhaustible reservoir of energy to
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: defend freedom and defend America, and it comes from a
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: true place in his heart. When he says America first,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: he means it, and he gets up every day to
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: do that. He's done 30 rallies, okay? I want you
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: to just think for a moment, Todd. You and I
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: know this, but the others, think about this for a moment.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: If he had not been out there on the trail,
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: the media doesn't cover all of my rallies, okay? They
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: don't cover most anyone else who's out doing it. He
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: knows they'll cover him. And we have had overflow crowds.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: I mean, in Iowa last night, I think they had
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: 15,000 people in the parking lot who could not get
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: into the building. I mean, it was totally full to
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: the rafters. That energy is out there. The media has
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: to face it. I mean, they try to cover it up.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: But they can't because it's so overwhelming. He's done so
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: many of them. And if we had not had that,
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: the entire country would have believed in this false narrative
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: that people hate the administration, hate the president, hate Republicans,
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: and Democrats are going to take over the world. It's
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: just not true. I mean, it's just not where the
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: people are. And I've been in these events all around America.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: And I'm telling you, it's not just the red states, Todd.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: I was campaigning in the last few days. I was
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: up in upstate New York, for example, on Long Island.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: We had events for our candidates up there. 700 people
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: turned up. One, 550 people plus turned up the other one.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, they are fired up on a weeknight, waving
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: signs and banners like they're in LSU's Tiger Stadium on
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Saturday night. They know what's at stake. California, same thing.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: The blue districts around the country where I go, these
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: are huge crowds. They're not talking to pollsters, but they
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: are going to speak on Tuesday. And I'm telling you,
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you, people are going to be very surprised.
• 7:53
  Speaker 8: Uh, Mr.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Speaker, I know you're busy. Before I let you go,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: what are some of the key areas that you guys
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: are going to be looking at tomorrow, maybe bellwether states
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: or districts?
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Well, somebody asked me that question a little while ago.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: On election night, I'm going to have a big event
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: in my district in Shreveport, Louisiana. We'll be at the
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: convention center, a big, big event. But I will be...
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: I'll be watching the map as the polls close in
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: the war room before I get on stage at my
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: own event, of course. And the polls close first on
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: the East Coast, of course, and they spread across the country.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: So just start there. I mean, Maine's second district, Paula Page,
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: former governor, he's going to flip that blue seed to red.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Those two districts I was just referencing in New York,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: New York 3 and 4, the 3rd and 4th Congressional District,
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: you have extraordinary candidates there. I was on stage with
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Mike Lepetri, who's going to flip that blue seed to red.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Bruce Blakeman running for governor there. He has big coattails there,
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: and he's going to carry those counties, and we're going
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: to get Republicans elected in New York. No one is
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: expecting that, but I am. Then you go down the map.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: I'm here in North Carolina's 1st District with Colonel Lori Buckout.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: She's a retired Army colonel, combat leader, commander. She is
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: an extraordinary candidate. She's going to flip this seat from
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: blue to red. Don Davis is the incumbent. Do nothing,
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Don Davis, they call him. She's going to be an
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: extraordinary upgrade. Go all the way down to, you know, Virginia.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: We have I'm going there next. I'll be campaigning with
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Rob Whitman and Jim Kiggins. Tight races in Virginia. They're
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: going to win re-election. The polls right now say that
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: they're in trouble. I don't believe it. There are going
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: to be big crowds there. So, look, all around the country,
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: from the East Coast all the way across the West,
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: we have far superior candidate thought. We have an incredible
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: record to run on for this Congress. Big plans going forward.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Our candidates are articulating that well. We have a fundraising
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: advantage by God's grace. I think I crossed the Five
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: hundred twenty nine million dollar raised mark this cycle alone
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: just in the last two years. All in. And the
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: president's raised record amounts of money. Our candidates have worked hard.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: I believe all that's going to pay off. I believe
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: God's not done with America yet. I believe we're going
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: to win this election cycle and keep this thing going.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: And finally, Mr. Speaker. again, the importance of this, and
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: I think when you look at those polls, there was
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: a poll, 44% of Democrats believe it's okay to use
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: violence to remove presidents from office. Nearly 20%, another poll,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: nearly 20% believe it's okay to use violence to silence
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: opposition to your political beliefs. I hope the American people
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: understand what we are trying to stop from happening in
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: this country.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: Todd, you said it so well. There's those indicators and
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: so many others. I keep thinking of this passage of
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Scripture as I'm winding down this campaign. Psalm 113, it says,
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: If the foundations be destroyed, what will the righteous do?
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: We have the actual foundations of America, the greatest nation
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: in the history of the world, the freest, most successful,
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: most powerful, most benevolent nation that's ever been. In an
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: open contest, we have enemies of the foundations. People have
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: disdained for the founding principles of America. They're trying to
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: tear them down. Individual freedom and limited government and the
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: rule of law and things like peace through strength and
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: human dignity, the sanctity of life and fiscal responsibility, the
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: things that made America are under assault right now. And
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: we must stand up and we must do the right thing.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: And God will continue to bless our nation. And that's
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: what this is about. This isn't just a normal midterm.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: It's unlike any we've ever had. By God's grace, we're
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: going to prevail.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Indeed it is. Speaker Mike Johnson, thank you for the
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: great work you're doing for the country, and we wish
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: you safe travels as you make these final stops.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: Thank you, brother. God bless you. We'll talk to you soon.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: All right. There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Speaker
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Mike Johnson on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. What a
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: way to kick off a very busy show. We have
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: a lot of great guests coming up, and we're going
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: to be taking your calls as well. What are you sensing?
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: What are you feeling as we move toward Election Day tomorrow?
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Are you starting to feel a little bit more confident
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: in how these numbers are going to play out? Our
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: telephone number is 901-260-5926. Again, that telephone number, 901-260-5926. Today,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: we want to hear from all of you. No matter
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: where you are across the nation, we want to hear
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: your voice. Give us an idea of what the vibe
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: is like in your area. We've got some great audio
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: coming from what happened in Michigan yesterday. And let me
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: just say this. The speaker is absolutely right. We need
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: to make sure that we are watching each other's sixes
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: over the next little while because these Democrats, are completely unhinged. Okay,
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: we have to take a break. We'll be right back.
• 12:43
  Speaker 9: I hope you enjoy living in a dictatorship.
• 12:45
  Speaker 10: Oh, really?
• 12:46
  Speaker 8: A dictatorship?
• 12:47
  Speaker 11: Lisa, I'm not going to be covered in a sheet
• 12:48
  Speaker 11: like by Sharia law. Are you nuts?
• 12:52
  Speaker 9: Are you worried that if Abdul Al-Sayed is elected?
• 12:55
  Speaker 11: I would never vote for anybody named Mohammed Abdul, anybody, ever, ever.
• 12:59
  Speaker 12: This is the U.S.
• 13:00
  Speaker 11: We a Christian nation.
• 13:01
  Speaker 9: We govern by God.
• 13:03
  Speaker 13: Like, we will never, ever, ever, ever would I vote.
• 13:07
  Speaker 8: Are you kidding me?
• 13:08
  Speaker 13: I voted Democrat my whole life until I woke up.
• 13:11
  Speaker 11: Until I woke up and realized what's going on.
• 13:13
  Speaker 9: What woke you up?
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Trump.
• 13:17
  Speaker 11: Trump woke me up.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: I love the Michigan accent. That's killing me here.
• 13:21
  Speaker 10: God.
• 13:22
  Speaker 14: God.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: I love that. Wow. Amen, sister. I love that. Look,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: that was a female voter who, by the way, used
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: to be a Democrat, now voting for Mike Rogers in Michigan.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: The Michiganders, folks, are saying, no, we're not going down
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: the path of Sharia. Not anymore. I think a lot
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: of folks, and by the way, it's not just the
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Jews that are concerned about the Democrat Party. It's not
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: just the Jews. It's also minority groups, specifically blacks in Michigan.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: They don't trust Abdul El-Said at all. And one of
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: the reasons why I do believe is when you take
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: a look at places like Dearborn, Michigan, which has the
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: largest Islamic population of any city in the nation, when
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: you see that, at least the concentration of Muslims, when
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: you see what's happened in those communities that have been
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: completely overrun by the Muslims, they know more so than
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: any other place in the country what that means. And
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: you say, Todd, what does that mean? Well, it means
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: that the Muslim faith is now the dominant faith in
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Dearborn and other cities in Michigan. And when that happens,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Christians are marginalized, Jews are marginalized. It means that life
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: in those communities now centers around the Islamic faith, which
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: is one of the reasons why, for example, during Ramadan,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: during the time of fasting, they actually move high school
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: football practices to midnight to accommodate the Islamists who are
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: practicing their religion. That does not happen any other place
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: in America. So again, I think especially women, when you
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: see how women are treated in these majority Islamic countries,
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: people don't want that here. People love looking at our
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: beautiful American women. I mean, you go back to Iran,
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: go back to the pre-Ayatollah Iran, for example, and Tehran
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: was known as the Paris of the Middle East. It
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: was one of the most beautiful cosmopolitan cities. It was
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: known for its art, its music, its It's history. It's
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: their culture. It was a thriving, vibrant culture. When you
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: look at some of the photos from before the Islamic Revolution,
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: where the women were just stunningly gorgeous, and it was
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: like all the women in Iran were fashion models, and
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: they wore the latest fashion, and they were able to
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: wear swimsuits. They had their hair done up, and they
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: wore the makeup and all that kind of stuff. Then
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: the Islamists come in, and they make the women wear,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: as you heard the lady there, they make them wear bedsheets.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: And they put a little slit where the eyeballs are,
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: otherwise they'd be blind as a bat. It could be
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: 120 degrees, and they make the women wear these get-ups.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: And it's appalling how they treat the women. Now, my
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: recommendation is we've got all these large marges out there
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: running around, or at least waddling around, talking about Islam
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: and Palestine and all that kind of stuff. My recommendation
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: is that we round up all of those gals, the feminazis,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: and we send them over to Iran. We send them
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: over to Gaza. And we let those women experience what
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: life is really like for women in under Islamic rule.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: You know, they're out there saying, free, free Palestine, and
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: they're marching in support of the Iranian Ayatollahs. They don't
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: have a clue. They don't have a clue. What's that, Dylan? No, no, no, I, yes, I'm, yeah,
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: I'm saying the burqas, they should, as soon as they
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: get off the plane at what's left of Tehran International Airport,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: give them a burqa. I I don't know if they
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: make burkas that big, but you're going to need some
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: big burkas. Those are some big badonkadonks.
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: They have king size over there?
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: They make them? I don't know. We'll look into that.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: But whatever it takes, I guarantee you they'll have a
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: come to Allah moment, if you will. 901-260-5926 our telephone number.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: That's 901-260-5926. We're taking your calls on that and God
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: bless Haley Stevens. I know she thinks she's still a Democrat.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: The Democrat Party says, we don't want you. So we're
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: going to play some audio from that. Also, a little
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: bit later on, our good buddy, retired Brigadier General John Teichert,
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: going to weigh in on that horrible plane crash yesterday,
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: just nine miles from Mar-a-Lago. We'll try to get his
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: take on what happened as well. Hang tight, everybody. This
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: is the Todd Stearns Radio Show.
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: All right, welcome back, everybody.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Great to have
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: you with us today. Looking at these New York Times numbers,
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: and we're going to do a deep dive a little
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: bit later on in the program. The New York Times
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: now predicting a blue tsunami tomorrow. I don't see that
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: happening at all. And again, it goes back to the
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: fact that Republicans are not taking part in these polling
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: organizations anymore. They're not engaging with the pollsters, and therefore,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: I just don't believe we've got a full understanding of
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: what people are voting for out there. Well, I want
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: to bring in our next guest. She is really becoming
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: a force in the Republican Party. She is from Memphis, Tennessee,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: and she is one of those voters that President Trump
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: came out, you might remember this, back in 2016, and
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: basically went to the minority communities and said, hey, look,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: You guys have been voting Democrat, and what have you
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: gotten as a result of that? So he said, why
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: don't you just give me a shot? What do you
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: have to lose? I think that was the messaging. What
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: do you have to lose? Well, Delicia Ballinger joins us,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: and we had you on the show a while back
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: when you told your... big story. I mean, you're a
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: very well-known journalist in Memphis, and you ended up losing
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: your job as a result of supporting President Trump and
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: the Memphis Safe Task Force. Good to see you back.
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: Thank you for having me. I'm such a pleasure to
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: be here. Thank you.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: So I'm just wondering, after that whole experience, because I mean,
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: that was It's always a traumatic experience going through something
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: like that. What has life been like for Delicia since
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: that day?
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: It's been absolutely incredible. Since then, I had a chance
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: to meet the president. He came in March to give
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: his support, of course, with the Memphis Safe Task Force.
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: And I was honored enough to sit at that roundtable
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: with President Trump. Um, so I had a chance to
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: meet him, which was absolutely life changing. He gave my
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: family and I one of the most incredible experiences that,
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: you know, we've ever had. And, you know, since then
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: I've made several trips to the white house. I've, you know,
• 20:48
  Speaker 8: went to the egg roll. I've even had mother's day
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: with him. Um, so I'm, you know, I'm very happy
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: to be great friends with this administration.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: I'm curious because we are watching what happened in, um,
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: what's happened in other parts of the country happening now
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: in Michigan, where a number of black voters, many of
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: them are still Democrats, but they're saying, no, we're voting
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: for the Republican this go around. I'm wondering if you're
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: seeing that at any level here in the state of Tennessee.
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: Absolutely. I see definitely a red surge within black voters.
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: I feel like we're all tired and we definitely want change.
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: And through my influence and definitely through how President Trump
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: has really treated me. I want to show my people,
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: you know, that he cares about us. He want what's
• 21:36
  Speaker 8: best for us. And also just through knowledge to show
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: them that, hey, if we make the right choices, then
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: we can see actually see what is happening here in America.
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: So I'm very, very grateful to be a great conservative
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: voice to show the good part of or the good
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: side of the Republican Party.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: What was– tell me through that transformation for you to
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: becoming a conservative. How did that happen?
• 21:59
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: So immediately after that video of me going viral talking
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: about what happened and getting fired from the job, I
• 22:08
  Speaker 8: immediately flipped because here's the thing. I'm telling the truth
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: about something that has happened that he did. Why be
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: condemned for it? This is the first time, you know,
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: and I've been, you know, ever since I had the
• 22:20
  Speaker 8: chance to vote and go into the machines.
• 22:23
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: I never knew who I was voting for. I just
• 22:25
  Speaker 8: knew to vote blue no matter who. I never understood it.
• 22:29
  Speaker 8: But when that happened. I immediately flipped because I'm like,
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: this is someone that actually took action for the first
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: time in my life that I could actually see in
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: front of my face that affected my children. And so
• 22:45
  Speaker 8: it was only right because I see the action. And
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: for me, it was only imperative and only right. And
• 22:52
  Speaker 8: then considering the fact that the first black people were Republican.
• 22:56
  Speaker 8: So I'm going back to my roots. And so I'm
• 22:59
  Speaker 8: just very proud of, to not only go back to
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: my roots, but to actually be with a party that
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: works for the American people.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Robert Church, who was a great Memphian, one of the
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: very first black millionaires in the South from Memphis, and started,
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: his son, I believe, started the Republican Party. And the
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: sole purpose was to register blacks to vote.
• 23:20
  Speaker 8: Absolutely. A lot of people did not know when it
• 23:23
  Speaker 8: came to Robert Church. He actually saved Memphis. You know,
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: we were, after the Depression started, Memphis economically was at
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: the bottom. So it was a black man that saved Memphis.
• 23:35
  Speaker 8: When you're talking about Beale Street and all sorts of
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: different parts of Memphis, it was Robert R. Church that
• 23:40
  Speaker 8: saved Memphis. It was a black Republican. And so I'm very,
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: very happy to get back to that and express it.
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: So I'm really, really happy.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: And of course, the great Tom Lee, who was just
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: a guy who didn't even know how to swim. He
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: was down on the Mississippi River. He saw a ship
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: going down, a boat going down, and was credited with
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: saving many, many lives. And, of course, the beautiful downtown
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: park in Memphis, named in his honor. He was invited
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: by a Republican president to come and be honored at
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: the White House. I mean, this went back many, many
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: years ago, right after the turn of the last century.
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: Absolutely. When you think about history, when it comes down
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: to the Republicans, the Republicans have been the saviors. even
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: all the way down to the slaves being free, it
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: was the Republicans that did that. Shout out to Abraham
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: Lincoln that freed the slaves. It was because of them
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: we are who we are today. Even all the way
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: down to Juneteenth, it was the Republicans.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: That did Here's what bothers me is that there is
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: a rich, vibrant history, and that history is not being
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: taught in the classrooms. Instead, it's this idea of, oh,
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: you are oppressed and there's nothing you can do about it.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: And this white guy over here is your oppressor.
• 24:59
  Speaker 8: You know, that's the biggest misconception. You know, one thing
• 25:02
  Speaker 8: that I've come to realize, and this is just, you know,
• 25:06
  Speaker 8: my stance on it in my life, I'm the American dream.
• 25:09
  Speaker 8: You know, I was pregnant and homeless at one point
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: with my child, but I used my resources. I used
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: the opportunities that were given to me by America, by
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: the state of Tennessee. And here I am. I'm here now. I'm,
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: you know, I'm homeowner. You know, my children have a
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: beautiful place to live. And it's all because of the
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: opportunities that America has given me. And those same opportunities
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: can be given to anyone. You just have to apply yourself.
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: It doesn't have anything to do with race. It's all
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: about taking those opportunities and making it work for you.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: I love this. Delicia Ballinger is with us. She lives
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: in Memphis, Tennessee, is becoming a really a national voice
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: in the Republican Party. You know, it hasn't come without
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: its challenges, and there were two incidents that happened. One
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: recently at one of my favorite burger joints not too
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: far from here, Huey's. Tell me what happened at the
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Huey's burger joint.
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: So, you know, for whatever reason, it seems like when
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: I have on my Trump gear, I get a lot
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: of kickback from people. And this particular day, I'm in
• 26:18
  Speaker 8: full Trump gear, and I'm walking to get my food,
• 26:21
  Speaker 8: and some black woman, she comes out and says, oh, well,
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: you must be dressed up as a racist for Halloween.
• 26:26
  Speaker 8: And I'm like, I stopped in my tracks and I
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: turned around and I'm like, well, you must have on
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: a fat suit because you look like Lord Farquaad. So,
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: you know, I guess we're both dressed up, but no,
• 26:39
  Speaker 8: you know, I get a lot of kickback, a lot
• 26:43
  Speaker 8: of kickback when I'm showing my support for the president.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: And so and you were at the airport in Nashville.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: What happened there?
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: So I'm actually on the way to my car and
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: I'm on the shuttle and there was this transvestite or transformers,
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: if you will.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: You call them transformers?
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: I call them transformers.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Dudes who think they're women.
• 27:05
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: Okay, got it.
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: And so as I'm walking up, I'm seeing they have
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: like this look of disgust on their faces. I'm wearing
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: my bag of cap and I'm not worried about it.
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: But as we're approaching the shuttle, they just all of
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: a sudden just jump in front of me and cut
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: me off. And I'm like, hey, excuse you. And so
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: we get in the shuttle and he looks back at
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: me and say, hey, pretty disgusting. You support that man.
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: I said, oh, well, it's pretty disgusting that you have
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: balls under your skirt, sir.
• 27:31
  Speaker 17: Oh, my.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: How did he respond to that?
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: You know, there was some exchange of words. And so
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: the friend was like, hey. You guys just chill. I'm like, well,
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: tell your tell your homeboy to chill, you know.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: And so and that was that was pretty much it,
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: you know. But but I'm like, hey, you know, just
• 27:50
  Speaker 8: because you see me with my Trump gear on, it
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: doesn't give you the right to insult me because I'm
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: still human. And I will I will clap back and
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: I will defend my president.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Well, you are from Memphis. I mean, we have a
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: history of doing that. So that's that's. Whenever people get
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: upset with me for doing that on the radio show,
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, Memphis, what can I say? Our family
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: is from White Haven.
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: That's right. We're from the same hood.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: We're from the same hood. Yeah, exactly. I'm curious. When
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: you're out there and you're out on the campaign trail,
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: you've been doing a lot of campaigning for candidates. What
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: is it going to take and is it working? Are
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: we starting to see more minorities joining more? the Republican side.
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: Absolutely.
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: I feel that there is a big surge. I even,
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: two of my aunts that have been hard, hard liberals,
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: hard Democrats, you're talking about in their 70s, they just
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: voted red.
• 28:44
  Speaker 9: Really?
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: They just voted red. So when you're talking about changing
• 28:48
  Speaker 8: the tide from our elders, especially when they've been voting
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: blue their whole entire lives, yes, absolutely. We're seeing the change.
• 28:58
  Speaker 8: We're tired. We're tired And for the first time, we
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: actually see change and we want that. But, you know,
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: considering where we are, I know here in Memphis, we're very,
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: very blue. But at the same time, we still want more.
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: And because of that, I do see a time changing
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: for sure.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: This is exciting.
• 29:17
  Speaker 13: And.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: So your son is doing well. I know he plays
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: in the marching band.
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: Yes, he actually just won his first competition last night.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: Is that right?
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: Yes, so shout out to Havenview Middle School. They just
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: won their first competition last night for the Battle of
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: the Bands. I've been told he may be getting a
• 29:35
  Speaker 8: promotion soon where he's going to be the section leader
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: for the trumpet section. So I'm just so excited. He's
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: just been flourishing.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, good for him. I know Dylan's ears just perked
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: up because Dylan was in the marching band at U
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: of M. He played trumpet.
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: Yes, trumpet players are absolutely the best. I wish I
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: played in a band. I'm actually living through my son.
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: But I'm just so proud and you know, and I'm
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: just so grateful, you know, with all of this, that
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: my children get a chance to see their mom doing
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: great things.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: I love that. Dylan, you can come down off the high.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: I see you over there.
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: Trouble players are the best. I hear it.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: Well, Delicia, we're, look, I'm excited because, and again, on
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: this show, when I moved back home to Memphis, I
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: realized we got a problem here. You know, it's, it's
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: not us versus them. It's us together, you know, and that's,
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: You know, I heard a speech from Lee Zeldin, who
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: was a longtime congressman out of New York, and he said,
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: here's the deal. It's got to be authentic. It's got
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: to be real. You can't pander to anybody. There has
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: to be this camaraderie. And I see that happening here
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: in Memphis. And, Delicia, God bless you. I'm excited for
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: the great work you're doing out there.
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: Thank you. You know, I'm just so grateful to have
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: the support of our Tennessee constituents, Marsha Blackburn, Kustoff, Brent Taylor.
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: I'm just I'm so honored, you know, for them, you know,
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: just utilizing me and seeing me as that voice, you know,
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: and especially with my connection to, you know, President Trump
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: and just spreading the good word and spreading the good news,
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: because I feel that people are listening to me. And
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: so I want to utilize that and again, just spread
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: the good word so that we can make America great again.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: I love it. All right, Delicia Ballinger, good to see you.
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: My pleasure. Thank you for having me.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: All right, folks, we're going to take a quick break there,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: and I hope that you are encouraged by that conversation.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: Our telephone number, 901-260-5926. Again, that number, 901-260-5926. This is
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: the Todd Stern Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. This
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: is the Tom Stearns Radio Show. President Trump holding rallies
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: yesterday in Kansas and Iowa, and people there were fired up.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: And you heard Speaker Johnson, and the speaker was with
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: the president at those rallies, and said there were some
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: 15,000 people that were not even able to get inside.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Here is one of those rally goers. Cut number eight, please.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: So we're from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and we just want to
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: be able to support Trump and just whatever everything he's
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: doing for us. I mean, you know, there's so much
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: negativity about him. And it's just that, you know, he's
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: he's dealt the card he's been dealt. So it's like
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: we appreciate everything he's doing. So it's like we want
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: to be able to be the support for him.
• 32:34
  Speaker 18: We're talking about a guy that took a bullet for us,
• 32:36
  Speaker 18: a bullet for our country here.
• 32:37
  Speaker 9: Oh, that's a true patriot.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: That's a man that is for the people of the
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: United States. And he's always thinking about us first and
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: for our futures.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: Fight, fight, fight. We've got to vote, vote, vote. Are
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: you voting already?
• 32:48
  Speaker 18: Are you going to vote on Election Day?
• 32:50
  Speaker 9: Voting on Election Day. Doing it the real way.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we've got to vote no matter what. We've got
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: to get in there and vote. Yeah, we do. I mean,
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: it's really that simple. We do. Now, the question is,
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: what do you think is going to happen tomorrow? And
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: we're going to look. It's really a matter of conjecture.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: But I'm just curious. At this moment, there are no
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: right or wrong answers. Tomorrow, after we count all the votes,
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: there will be right and wrong answers. But today, no
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: right or wrong answers. I know a lot of you
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: are very frustrated over the lack of work by the Republicans,
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: and those are all justified concerns. But I'm just curious,
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: and how do you feel like tomorrow is going to go?
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: You think the Republicans are going to be able to
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: pull this off because this will be something of a
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: historic election if the Republicans are able to win. Typically,
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: the party that wins the presidency and has control of
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: the House and Senate do not do well in the midterms. Typically,
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: they lose. So the question is, how do you think
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: things are going to go tomorrow? 901-260-5926 is our telephone number.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: That's 901-260-5926. We're going to be taking your calls. By
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: the way, I've got to tell you about a special
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: friend of the program. I want you to go all
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: the way back to 2020. I mean, how many times
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: have you turned on the news and you've just really
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: felt powerless watching whatever new health scare they're pushing? Well,
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: back in 2020, the late Dr. Zev Zelenko, he saw
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: that same helplessness in his own patients, and that's why
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: he formulated what came to be known as Z-Stack, so
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: patients could fight back with their own immune systems. He
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: was a frontline physician being interviewed everywhere, even working with
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: the White House and getting mentioned by President Trump in
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: a news conference. for his life-saving Zelenko protocol. Dr. Zelenko
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: did not guess every ingredient in Z-Stack specifically chosen based
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: on real research formulated at the exact doses your immune
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: system has to have. He got attacked. He was deplatformed
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: for years because he did the right thing, and he
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: was also proven 100% right. Now, over five years later,
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: that resilience endures to carry on his legacy with his
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: original formula for Z-Stack. It's robust. It's a daily immune
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: support that your body needs to stand strong against. And folks,
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: forget about what they're trying to sell you on TV.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Take control of your immune system and give your body
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: what it needs to fight against. And now they're having
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: the biggest discount they've ever offered. You're going to be
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: able to get started today for just $ 4. 95 plus shipping

• 36:00
  Speaker 3: All right. Hang tight, folks. We've got Hour 2 of
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: the big show coming up a little bit later on.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: We're going to be talking to our friend, John Teichert,
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: about that crazy plane crash just about nine miles from Mar-a-Lago.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: What makes this interesting is that They have surface-to-air and
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: anti-missile defense systems now set up not only around the
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Mar-a-Lago perimeter, but also at Donald J. Trump International Airport
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: there in Palm Beach. Had nothing to do with it,
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: but again, I think it's just an interesting footnote here
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: that people are very concerned and alarmed by what's happening
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: over the skies of Palm Beach, Florida, over there in
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: South Florida. So we're going to talk to General Teichert
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: about all of that coming up a little bit later on. Plus, well,
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: your calls.
• 36:50
  Speaker 10: 901-260-5926.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: Again, that's 901-260-5926. Hang tight, everybody. Hour 2 of The
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Big Show coming up next.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: From Memphis, Tennessee, on the banks of the mighty Mississippi,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: it's America's conservative blowtorch.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: That's us, that's right, I love this American ride.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Todd Starnes.
• 37:36
  Speaker 13: Oh, yeah.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Election Eve here
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: on the Todd Stearns Radio Show, and we have got
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: a lot going on. We just heard a little while
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: ago from House Speaker Mike Johnson, who is in a
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: very good mood, and he is feeling very bullish about
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: the chances of a huge Republican victory tomorrow. The New
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: York Times, meanwhile, their final polling is out, and Nate
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: Silver actually categorized their predictions as a blue tsunami, meaning
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: the Democrats would take over the House and the Senate.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: So we're taking your calls today, and I'm just curious,
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: how are you guys feeling? How do you think tomorrow
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: is going to go if the Republicans do not win?
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: Who is winning? Who is to blame for that? And
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: why are Republicans so hesitant about getting out and voting?
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: So our telephone number, write this down, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: I want to go to the phone lines. Charles is
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: listening to us in North Carolina, WSIC. And Charles, the
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Speaker of the House, is actually in North Carolina doing
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: some campaign rallies today. What's going on?
• 38:53
  Speaker 14: Well, I agree with Speaker Johnson, Todd. I guess over
• 38:57
  Speaker 14: the weekend and just after reading and talking to people,
• 39:02
  Speaker 14: I'm going to make a prediction that I think the
• 39:04
  Speaker 14: Republicans are going to hang on to the Senate with
• 39:09
  Speaker 14: roughly the same majority that they have now. And I
• 39:12
  Speaker 14: think we're going to hang on to the House. And
• 39:15
  Speaker 14: the reason I say that, Todd, is because I think
• 39:19
  Speaker 14: Americans As frustrated as they are with the economy and
• 39:23
  Speaker 14: a lot of us about the war, we recognize what
• 39:26
  Speaker 14: the alternative is, these crazy leftists. these Muslim jihadists that
• 39:32
  Speaker 14: are running for office. And I think people are finally
• 39:35
  Speaker 14: waking up, and they recognize that, hey, we cannot turn
• 39:40
  Speaker 14: the country over to these people, and we're going to
• 39:43
  Speaker 14: give the Republicans one more chance to deliver on what
• 39:46
  Speaker 14: they promised in 2024 and before that. I think Republicans
• 39:51
  Speaker 14: are going to show up in mass tomorrow. I mean,
• 39:53
  Speaker 14: I've talked to a lot of people over the weekend
• 39:55
  Speaker 14: that are voting on Election Day, and I think the
• 39:59
  Speaker 14: polling has over-sampled Democrats, they've under-sampled Republicans. I myself have
• 40:05
  Speaker 14: been called and texted multiple times by pollsters, and I
• 40:08
  Speaker 14: just don't even respond to it. And if I'm not responding,
• 40:12
  Speaker 14: I know other people aren't responding either.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Charles, let me ask you a question about North Carolina,
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: because you've got a big Senate race here. Michael Watley
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: going up against former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper. And
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: all indications are it's not going to go good for
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: Republicans there. Is that an accurate observation of what's happening
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: there in North Carolina?
• 40:36
  Speaker 14: Todd, unfortunately, yes. I think Michael Watley has run a
• 40:40
  Speaker 14: horrible campaign. I mean, Roy Cooper was low-hanging fruit with
• 40:44
  Speaker 14: what he did to this state during COVID-19. And Michael
• 40:48
  Speaker 14: Wiley did not run any attack ads against Roy Cooper
• 40:52
  Speaker 14: to point that out, to draw the clear contrast between
• 40:56
  Speaker 14: him and Roy Cooper. And I just think he's been out-positioned.
• 41:00
  Speaker 14: I don't know who was advising him, but this is
• 41:02
  Speaker 14: the Senate seat that we could have held, I thought.
• 41:06
  Speaker 14: But I don't know about Georgia, but I think the
• 41:09
  Speaker 14: Republicans are going to win Michigan. I just can't see...
• 41:13
  Speaker 14: voters voting for a Muslim candidate up there. I mean,
• 41:15
  Speaker 14: I know all the Muslims and the communists are going
• 41:17
  Speaker 14: to show up and vote for him. And I also
• 41:20
  Speaker 14: hope that Jews and Christians turn out and vote for
• 41:22
  Speaker 14: Mike Rogers, you know, because he's a Christian. I think
• 41:25
  Speaker 14: we're going to hold on to Ohio, Kansas, and Texas.
• 41:29
  Speaker 14: I just cannot see Texans voting for that Palo Frico.
• 41:34
  Speaker 14: I mean, that guy, he's a weird bird, Todd, and
• 41:36
  Speaker 14: I just cannot see him win it. But I think
• 41:41
  Speaker 14: that that's what's going to happen on Wednesday morning when
• 41:44
  Speaker 14: we wake up. I think the Republicans are going to hold.
• 41:47
  Speaker 14: And I think the Democrats are going to raise holy hell.
• 41:51
  Speaker 14: And it could be chaos for days and weeks after that,
• 41:54
  Speaker 14: because I don't think they're going to accept the outcome
• 41:57
  Speaker 14: of the election.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: And that is a concern, that they will not accept
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: the outcome. We're already seeing bits of violence here and there.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: I would not be surprised if we see full-on violence,
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: especially if some of those races are close, and they
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: could be close as a result of some Republicans deciding,
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: you know what, we're just not going to go and vote.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: But again, I like your attitude, Charles, because we give
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: them one more chance, and if they blow it, then
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: we can deal with it in 2028. But right now,
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: we've got to put a stop to people like, you know,
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: Abdul El-Sayed and people like Justin Pearson in Tennessee and
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: James Talofrico down in Texas.
• 42:39
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, because over the next two years, if
• 42:42
  Speaker 14: these people are put in office, Todd, it's going to
• 42:45
  Speaker 14: be investigations. It's going to be nothing. It's going to
• 42:49
  Speaker 14: be total gridlock. Nothing is going to get done. I mean,
• 42:53
  Speaker 14: it's just going to.
• 42:53
  Speaker 15: Be a disaster.
• 42:54
  Speaker 14: And I think enough Republicans recognize that, at least the
• 42:57
  Speaker 14: ones that I'm talking to. And they're finally saying, you
• 43:00
  Speaker 14: know what, I can't sit this one out no matter
• 43:02
  Speaker 14: how I feel about this or that. I've got to
• 43:05
  Speaker 14: get out and vote. It's not just about me. It's
• 43:07
  Speaker 14: about my kids, about my grandkids. I mean, you know,
• 43:11
  Speaker 14: everything that our founders created, these people want to destroy
• 43:14
  Speaker 14: and burn down. and we're just not going to let
• 43:16
  Speaker 14: that happen. So I think you're going to see a
• 43:19
  Speaker 14: big turnout tomorrow among Republicans, and hopefully Wednesday morning or
• 43:24
  Speaker 14: later this week, if we can have a conversation, we'll
• 43:26
  Speaker 14: be celebrating. Yeah, yeah.
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: So we're suspending our rule when it comes to phone
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: calls on the show this week, because I suspect a
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: lot of folks are going to want to weigh in.
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: So Charles, We'll be talking to you later this week.
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: Thank you for calling in. Thank you for listening to WSIC.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: Let's go to Texas. Melissa is listening to us on
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: Patriot Talk 920. Melissa, we were talking about Talafrico. How
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: do you think things are going to play out tomorrow?
• 43:54
  Speaker 10: Oh, my goodness.
• 43:55
  Speaker 19: Good afternoon, Todd. Two things before I answer that. Happy
• 43:58
  Speaker 19: belated birthday. And it was such a pleasure to meet
• 44:01
  Speaker 19: you at Collectors Firearms in Houston on the 20th.
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: Thank you. And Melissa, that was a fun event. I
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: wasn't sure how well guns and booze were going to
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: pair together, but it was a great night.
• 44:13
  Speaker 19: It was fun. As I told the person who answered
• 44:17
  Speaker 19: the phone, I am a ball of nerves today. I
• 44:20
  Speaker 19: hope every Republican gets out and votes that hasn't already.
• 44:25
  Speaker 19: And I'm seeing more Talafrico signs even in areas I've
• 44:28
  Speaker 19: never seen them in before as far as the Democrat
• 44:31
  Speaker 19: signs go. So that's kind of unnerving. I just hope
• 44:35
  Speaker 19: and pray that everyone does their due diligence and doesn't
• 44:39
  Speaker 19: sit this one out and vote straight red. That's what
• 44:43
  Speaker 19: we have to do.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: Melissa, I think one of the great unknowns here in Texas,
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: just exactly how many Republicans are establishment Republicans who support
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: people like John Cornyn or the Bushes or Karl Rove?
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: Are there going to be enough of those people who
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: stay home and don't vote or vote for Tallarico that
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: it could cause some problems?
• 45:06
  Speaker 19: See, that's my fear, is that they'll go vote and
• 45:08
  Speaker 19: they'll purposely vote on the Democratic side. If that's the case,
• 45:14
  Speaker 19: I just assume they stay home.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. I think you're exactly right there. I know
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: yesterday I was at church, and that's all people were
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: talking about before the service was, you know, how do
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: you think things are going to play? I have to
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: imagine people are talking about that in Texas.
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: Oh, my gosh.
• 45:31
  Speaker 19: That's all people are talking about here in Texas. So
• 45:37
  Speaker 19: just hope and pray everything goes to the Republicans, and
• 45:41
  Speaker 19: all we can do is Vote and pray. That's all
• 45:43
  Speaker 19: we can do at this point.
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: Melissa, those are two good things for anybody to do.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: So thank you for the great advice. Give us a
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: call back tomorrow. Let us know how things are going
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: out there at the polling places. And we sure do
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: appreciate you listening to Patriot Talk 920. Good people there
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: at that radio station. All right, we're going to take
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: a quick break here, folks.
• 46:03
  Speaker 15: 901-260-5926.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: That's 901-260-5926. May I tell you about my friends at

• 46:24
  Speaker 3: introducing these brave warriors to horses. And it is a wonderful,
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: wonderful program, War Horses for Heroes. They need your help.
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: They're looking for volunteers. They're looking for donors. They're looking
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: for people that just might be willing to lend a
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: helping hand to their great work and, quite frankly, a
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: wonderful ministry. The website address, if you'd like more information
• 46:48

• 47:07
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Tom Stearns
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: Radio Show. Looking at these numbers out of Texas, and
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: they're really fascinating because if these things are true, if
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: the polling data is in fact true, then we've got
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: big problems in the country. But if they're not, then
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: how in the world can you ever trust the New
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: York Times or YouGov or Trafalgar Group or any of
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: these other polling groups out there? So Here are the
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: latest numbers. And by the way, the last time Texans
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: elected a Democrat to the Senate, 1988. So we're talking
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: about 38 years ago. That was Lloyd Benson was the
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: senator there. And he was technically, I mean, they were
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: kind of Republicans, you know, back in the day, even
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: the Democrats from Texas. New York Times has Tallarico beating
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: Ken Paxton. This is yesterday's polling data that came out. Yesterday,
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: the Times says that Tallarico beats Paxton by seven points, 50%
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: to 43% of the vote. YouGov has Tallarico winning 51%
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: to 47%. And the Trafalgar Group, which, you know, we're
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: real big fans of Trafalgar. They actually have the race
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: tied up at 48 apiece. So you folks listening to
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: us across Texas right now, are you surprised by those numbers?
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: And how do you think that's going to turn out tomorrow? 901-260-5926,
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: our number. That's 901-260-5926. 92-year-old lady. attends her first ever
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: Trump rally. Here's what she had to say. Cut seven.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: What brings you out here today to support Trump?
• 49:00
  Speaker 10: Well, we've got to keep that guy going.
• 49:03
  Speaker 8: We love Trump.
• 49:04
  Speaker 13: He's been the best thing that's happened to America in
• 49:06
  Speaker 13: my lifetime, and I'm an old lady now.
• 49:09
  Speaker 18: Well, is this the first time you're getting to see
• 49:11
  Speaker 18: the president?
• 49:12
  Speaker 10: Yes, it is.
• 49:12
  Speaker 19: My first rally, and I'm really excited about it.
• 49:14
  Speaker 18: 92 oh she's telling me you're 92.
• 49:18
  Speaker 13: Yes and the best president in those 92 years also.
• 49:23
  Speaker 18: In 92 years this is the best president you've ever
• 49:24
  Speaker 18: seen that's for sure god bless you got the energy
• 49:27
  Speaker 18: of trump to be able to do this right he's
• 49:28
  Speaker 18: 80 years old and he's traveling all over the country
• 49:30
  Speaker 18: you got 12 years on the guy and you're out
• 49:32
  Speaker 18: here to support him i'm blessed You are truly blessed,
• 49:36
  Speaker 18: and we're blessed to have you at the rally today.
• 49:37
  Speaker 18: So thank you. Give a message to.
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: President Donald Trump.
• 49:40
  Speaker 8: We love you. We love you.
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: Amen.
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: God bless you. Well, how about that? And it's, again,
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: going back to the conversation we had with Delicia Ballinger
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: just a little while ago, talking about black voters who
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: are dropping the Democrat Party. Their chains have been loosed,
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: and they have been set free from the Democrat Party plantation.
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: Cut number nine.
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: So why would a party want open borders? Why would
• 50:07
  Speaker 6: they want to allow millions of single military age men
• 50:13
  Speaker 6: to come into this country and those with views that
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: are antithetical to the values of American society and to
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: cause financial harm and be a safety risk to its citizens?
• 50:25
  Speaker 6: Why would they do this? They say it's compassion. No,
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: it's not. I offer two reasons. One is is because
• 50:32
  Speaker 6: they need a permanent underclass. They need a group of
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: people who was going to call them daddy, who will
• 50:39
  Speaker 6: go to them for their sustenance, for food, for shelter,
• 50:43
  Speaker 6: and then they will be beholden to those group of politicians,
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: and they will continue to vote them in and keep
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: them in power. And they are voting. They do have
• 50:54
  Speaker 6: access to the ballot box. This is the reason why
• 50:58
  Speaker 6: we need to have voter ID. And this is why
• 51:01
  Speaker 6: they fight so hard against it. And the second reason
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: is because every vote of an illegal voids the vote
• 51:09
  Speaker 6: of an American citizen. And as we move away from
• 51:14
  Speaker 6: the teat of the government, as we move closer to
• 51:19
  Speaker 6: the ideals of smaller government, Not big government. It is
• 51:25
  Speaker 6: a threat. And they need to replace us. That's the mission.
• 51:29
  Speaker 6: They are replacing us with the groups of people that
• 51:34
  Speaker 6: they bring into this country that will be beholden to them.
• 51:37
  Speaker 6: But I say, not on our watch.
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm telling you. And I just keep hearing from
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: a lot of black voters who say, you know, we're
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: done with the Democrats. And we're willing to give the
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: Republicans a crack at this. And I say, good. I mean,
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: let's see what happens here. Cut 15, please.
• 51:59
  Speaker 12: Listen up, everybody. I just wanted to make sure I
• 52:01
  Speaker 12: let everybody know, yes, I already voted red all the
• 52:04
  Speaker 12: way down. Byron Donalds is going to take Florida. I
• 52:07
  Speaker 12: already know. We all have to make sure that we
• 52:10
  Speaker 12: get up and vote because without our voices being heard,
• 52:13
  Speaker 12: us Republicans, we do not want these Republicans crazy liberals
• 52:18
  Speaker 12: to be you know in office we don't want no
• 52:22
  Speaker 12: radical leftism we don't want none of that stuff when
• 52:24
  Speaker 12: i've seen some videos that girls are like oh my
• 52:26
  Speaker 12: god we're gonna vote for el saeed for women's rights
• 52:29
  Speaker 12: i wish y'all ladies could go to afghanistan and ask
• 52:31
  Speaker 12: them people over there if they have the right to
• 52:33
  Speaker 12: vote but they wouldn't even be able to answer you
• 52:35
  Speaker 12: because they're not allowed to speak in public If that's
• 52:38
  Speaker 12: the stuff that you want to bring here to the
• 52:39
  Speaker 12: United States, you are absolutely nuts and crazy. We need
• 52:43
  Speaker 12: to keep the American dream alive, keep everybody safe here
• 52:46
  Speaker 12: in the United States, and we got to get rid
• 52:48
  Speaker 12: of these ideologies. So please remember, go out and vote, man.
• 52:54
  Speaker 12: That's the only way we can save this country, man,
• 52:56
  Speaker 12: from this radicalism.
• 52:58
  Speaker 9: Have a good day.
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: You have a good day, too, ma'am. Thank you for that. Look, again,
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen, something exciting is happening here in America,
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: and I hope you can feel that. People are just
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: sick and tired of being sick and tired. I mean,
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: they really are. Now, this is a fascinating look at
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: what we can expect if these Muslims continue to gain
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: ground in our communities. This story involves a Muslim woman
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: living in Michigan. And she doesn't want to send her
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: daughter to a public school in Dearborn because the boys
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: and girls are still together in classrooms. And that goes
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: against Islam. It goes against Sharia. So now she said
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: that she's going to move to another town in Michigan
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: called Hamtramck. I think I've got that correctly pronounced, but
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: who knows. Anyway, this town is all Muslim as well,
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: but in Hamtrank, they actually segregate men and women. I
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: think I'm butchering the name of this town. Bear with me.
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: I'm going to get a call. The woman says, we
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: don't want to send our daughter to a Dearborn public
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: school because in Dearborn, you go to Big Apple Bagels,
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: or you go to a coffee shop and you see
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: boys and girls hanging out like it's nothing, like they're
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: proud of it, and we don't want her to think
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: it's okay to hang out with boys in public. We
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: don't want her to think it's okay to hang out
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: with boys in general. What is he, a lesbian or something?
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: What's going on there? And in the other town, Hamtrank,
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: it's all Muslims. It's Muslims, Bosnians, Albanians, whole type of
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: mixture of Muslims, and they are protected. If you go
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: to a coffee shop there, you won't see a group
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: of guys and girls hanging out together, which is a pro,
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: which is something I like, and I want to instill
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: in my daughter. So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen.
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: That'll be coming to your town. I'm just telling you people,
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: there are people, they have no idea. They have no
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: idea the danger they are playing with here. It is
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: a fire, and it will spread. Folks, pay attention. Pay
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: attention to what they're telling us, because they will deliver
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: on those promises. And I don't know if there are
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: enough Christians in the country to stop what's coming. I
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: really don't. All right, got to take a break here.
• 55:29
  Speaker 10: 901-260-5926.

• 56:43
  Speaker 3: Trick or treating. Dylan, I'm curious. Did you guys do
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: the trick or treating over the weekends?
• 56:50
  Speaker 9: I did no trick or treating, Todd.
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: So you stayed home then? I stayed home.
• 56:57
  Speaker 9: I used to do that when I still lived with
• 56:58
  Speaker 9: my parents. We would wait, you know, because we lived
• 57:01
  Speaker 9: in like a cove. So it was very easy for
• 57:03
  Speaker 9: kids to come around. But now I live in like
• 57:04
  Speaker 9: an apartment condo. So I feel like if I skip
• 57:08
  Speaker 9: out on it, they're not going to really punish me
• 57:10
  Speaker 9: with TP or any eggs or anything like that.
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: So you don't participate. You don't go door knocking.
• 57:16
  Speaker 9: No, I don't.
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: You're not one of those grownups.
• 57:18
  Speaker 9: I didn't even buy a costume for myself this year.
• 57:20
  Speaker 9: I didn't participate in any way.
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: And also, you did not have any candy to give
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: out to the children?
• 57:29
  Speaker 9: No, I bought candy for myself.
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 57:31
  Speaker 9: I did the buy after Halloween deal that most stores do.
• 57:37
  Speaker 9: It's like half off candy. That's the best.
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow. All right. So- So you stayed home and
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: enjoyed any particular– I know it's got to be Butterfingers.
• 57:46
  Speaker 9: Butterfingers, Reese's. I got all the stuff.
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: The Holy Trinity.
• 57:50
  Speaker 9: The Holy– and Hershey's.
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: The Kit Kat. You got to have the Kit Kat.
• 57:53
  Speaker 9: Kit Kat, yeah.
• 57:54
  Speaker 13: All right.
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: What about Ian? Did he do the– I think he
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: did a church event.
• 57:58
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think Ian did do church, yeah. But he
• 58:01
  Speaker 9: said that it wasn't a Hell House church event.
• 58:04
  Speaker 8: Oh, wow.
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: So, okay. He described– We call it– not Demolition Day.
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: What is it? What do they call it? They call
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: it Hell House or something else.
• 58:13
  Speaker 9: Something scary that has like a church message in there.
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Apocalypse Day or something.
• 58:18
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know. You know, the church thing, they still
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: do things at Fall Festival, and you have to dress
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: up like a biblical character.
• 58:24
  Speaker 9: Yeah, they don't call it Halloween.
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: No, that makes it okay. Ball fest and a biblical character.
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: And you're good. Or Elvis.
• 58:32
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 58:32
  Speaker 9: But everybody still dresses up in a Halloween costume and
• 58:34
  Speaker 9: they still do everything.
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: So anyway, I'm curious here because there is– and we
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: have the video posted on our socials. So if you
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: go to my Instagram and you'll see the video. But
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: I'm not talking about just one or two. I'm talking
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: about dozens of videos. So homeowners are just really upset
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: because Because little thugs, we call them thuglings here on
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: the Tom Starnes Radio Show, little thuglings would go up
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: to their front porch, and they would just scoop out
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: as much candy as they can, and they threw it
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: into their bag. and off they scampered. And people are
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: really upset about it, and they're noticing one homeowner actually
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: pointed out, and I am just sharing this. We're not
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: making some sort of a cultural pronouncement here. But in
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: one massive video, and the guy did this with his
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: ring cam, they noticed that the white children would walk
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: up and they would grab one piece of candy. Meanwhile,
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: the minority children would grab as much as they could
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: possibly haul away. And I'm thinking, isn't that the point?
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, first of all, who in their right mind
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: just leaves candy unattended on the front porch?
• 59:55
  Speaker 9: A fool.
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, in this country, in this day and age?
• 59:59
  Speaker 9: You can't leave anything on your front porch unattended, much
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 9: less candy on Halloween.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: If that happened in Memphis, they wouldn't even bother scooping
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: it up. They'd just take the whole bowl or jack-o'-lantern
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: or whatever it is.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 9: Your bucket's gone.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 9: So my favorite ones are the ones that have scary
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 9: themes to them. So if you try to grab it,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 9: the little animatronic thing will grab your hand or something.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 9: It'll punish you for trying to grab candy.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, what are you.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: Do we have this audio?
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 9: We don't because there's so much cursing in it, but
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 9: I will work on it.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: I want you to work on this because this apparently
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: is a big deal. Let me know when we get
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: this ready, Dylan. It's the craziest story, but a lot
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: of homeowners are just really frustrated. They're saying this is
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: a sign of the culture and that parents are not
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: raising their kids to respect authority. And for example, I'll
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: just share this with you. Back when I was a
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: kid growing up, we were taught you get one piece
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: of candy. And normally there was none of this like
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: leaving it on the porch.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 10: No, no, no.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: You had to like ring the doorbell and you had
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: to wait for the homeowner to open the door. And
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: then you say trick or treat. And then the person
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: will compliment your costume and then, you know, give you candy.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: So what happened to those days? Are parents still teaching that?
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: Because the only thing I could figure is that when
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: I was looking at these videos, all I could think
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: of was they're teaching these kids this is what the
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: modern-day Halloween SNAP program looks like. You take everything you
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: can from a law-abiding homeowner and get out of Dodge.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: And isn't that, when you look at all the fraud
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: and the grift in our SNAP programs nationwide, isn't that
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: what they're doing? I'm just telling you. It's a mess. But,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, and by the way, there are some videos
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: where the kids aren't even dressing up in outfits, and
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: the parents are in on it. So the parents are
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: driving the getaway cars. And I know this happened in
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: one of the suburbs of Memphis. I believe it was
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: in Lakeland, Tennessee. And the homeowner captured it all on
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 3: the ring cam where it was almost like a drive-by.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: Some car comes screeching up. Some kid jumps out, grabs
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: all the candy, and boom, they're out of there. That's it.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: No more candy for the rest of you children. But
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: that's what they're dealing with out there. I just think
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: it's sad. Is it thievery? I mean, I guess an
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: argument could be made, but it's Halloween, and you're giving away...
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, could you charge them under the porch pirate?
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: Is there a porch pirate law? I don't know. I
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: like the idea, though, of putting some scary rednecks with...
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: Like animatronics, right? And so when they get close, the urchins...
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: When they get close, you start hearing banjo music from
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: like Deliverance. And maybe a pig squealing. If you haven't
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: seen Deliverance, you have no idea what I'm talking about.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: But those of you who have seen Deliverance, you know
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: exactly what I'm talking about. I'm just saying. How are
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: we doing, Dylan?
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 9: It's a lot of cursing. I'm almost done.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: How much bad language is there?
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 9: This lady has got a potty mouth, Todd.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: So the audio we're about to play for you is
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: a black lady shows up. Oh, by the way, she's
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: riding shotguns. So there are two women in this video,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: and then all of their children. They're not even wearing costumes.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: They're wearing, like, I don't know, pajamas?
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 9: They're wearing pajamas. All of them are wearing pajamas. There's
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 9: no theme to this, unless it's pajamas.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: The theme is, we want your candy.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 9: The theme is, we just got out of bed, and
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 9: we're coming to take your candy.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: Take your candy. Give me that. Give me that Tootsie Roll.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: Are we ready?
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 9: I think so.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, here we go.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 16: So this is the mother who stole? You.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: You took everything.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 16: You took 40 juice boxes.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 16: So where's it at? I got you everything.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: I want it all back.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 16: That's crazy.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 9: Ignorant?
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 16: You don't steal. That's what you get for stealing.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: You get put on blast.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 16: Alright, don't give me nothing back. You're stealing from other kids.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 8: No, keep it.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 16: You're stealing from other kids.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 14: Oh, to take everything?
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 9: I was gone ten minutes and everything's gone.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 13: Halloween.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 9: You are.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: Are you serious? You just stole everything.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 16: I had 160 something pieces out there.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 8: They didn't take.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: No 160 something. Took all the juice boxes.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 8: I'm not allowed to record them.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 9: I can record what I want.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 14: Thieves.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 16: You guys are thieves. I shouldn't have put it outside.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 16: That is crazy. Crackhead looking ass. You are crackhead looking ass.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 10: Where's your teeth?
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 9: Oh, my.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: I hope she didn't get the milk duds. That's going
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: to be hard if you don't have teeth.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 9: That's really hard. Where are you going to get that
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 9: out of?
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: She called him a cracker ass, and he called her
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: a crackhead.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 9: Crackhead, yeah.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: My, in front of the children.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 9: In front of everybody. There was like a whole family there.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: All right, I'm listening to all of this whole thing here,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: and I just have one question. Who gives away juice boxes?
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: 40 juice boxes and 160 pieces of candy, all gone.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: So the woman is making the argument that you shouldn't
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: have left it out on your front porch.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 9: Yeah, she literally said you shouldn't have left it out
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 9: if you didn't want people to take it.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: Well, maybe she has a point there, but again, the
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 3: reality here is that people steal, and they've got no
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: problem with it. They feel like they're obligated to your stuff.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah, they're very entitled. That was a very entitled
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 9: video right there.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: Very much so. Very much so. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: who's in the wrong here? Was it the homeowner who
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: expected people to practice basic common civility? Or is it
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: the crackhead thieves? 901-260-5926, our number. That's 901-260-5926. This is
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: the Todd Stern Show. All right, let's go to David
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: in San Francisco. All right, David, what do you think
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: about the kids taking all the Halloween candy?
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 7: Oh, I've seen it happen year after year. As a
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 7: matter of fact, my girlfriend did the same thing. We
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 7: went to a concert that night and she just put
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 7: the bucket on the stairs and didn't worry about it. But,
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 7: you know, I'm a little more worried about it in
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 7: the big picture. Remember two months ago, There was a
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 7: Republican convention down in Dallas, and Donald Trump persuaded the
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 7: entire audience to pledge to cheat like hell for the election. Now,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 7: is that the same kind of thing? Should the Republicans
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 7: cheat like hell in order to win this election?
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: What do you mean by that? You're saying Trump said
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: to cheat like hell. What do you mean by that?
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 7: Oh, he said that exactly. He got everybody to raise
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 7: their hands and he said, I need you to cheat
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 7: like hell.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: I don't recall that, David, at all.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 7: Very, very easy to find. Just look, Dallas GOP midterm convention,
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 7: cheat like hell. Late night comedians were playing it. The
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 7: news covered it. Forbes magazine covered it. The idea that
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 7: America has a guy that wants the Republican Party to
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 7: cheat like hell.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: So it was a joke. It was a joke. Even
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: Reuters said it was a joke, and he was mocking
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: the Democrats.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 20: Uh-huh.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 7: So you're admitting that he did say it.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was joking, David. So what is that? Look,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 3: the Democrats are literally out there cheating on the elections.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 7: So you say.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: No, you've got 20,000 fraudulent ballots that are going before
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: the Supreme Court from California alone, your home state.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 7: So they say he started out with 20 million, then
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 7: he said 110,000. Then he's down to, well, it's not
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 7: even 20,000 anymore.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: I know it's 20,000 in California. 20,000 in California alone
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: that they know of.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 7: There might be 24 people who actually are registered and
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 7: should not be registered.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: Where's your evidence of that? Because they've got 20,000 that
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 3: they're taking to the Supreme Court. 20,000.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 7: And they're still wrong. And they can't even admit to
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 7: where they got that that list.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 18: Right.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you something. Let me ask you a question, David.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 3: And again, this is about the Democrats here. How do
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 3: you feel about Haley Stevens endorsing Mike Rogers out of Michigan?
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 7: Well, anybody that doesn't want to cheat like hell, that
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 7: has to admit that the Republican Party is cheating like hell.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 3: David, I want you to tell me right now, has
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: anybody been charged as a Republican for cheating at the
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: ballot box, yes or no? The answer is no, by
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 3: the way.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 7: Well, Todd Starnes isn't prosecuting anybody, right?
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 3: Well, what right do I have to prosecute anybody? I'm
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 3: a talk radio host. I'm not a prosecutor, David.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 7: No, no, I mean, I would say Todd, the Department
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 7: of Justice.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, Todd Blanche. Yes, Todd Blanche.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 7: Right. He's not prosecuting anybody, and he's not prosecuting anybody.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: Who's been arrested? So wait, wait, wait. So do you
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 3: have literal evidence that the Republicans have committed voter fraud?
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: Where is your evidence?
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 7: Oh, that came out in the 2020 poll. Where up
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 7: in Michigan, there were number, you know, a number two
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 7: pencil is a little darker than a number one pencil.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 3: Where is your evidence, David?
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 7: I'm giving it. They handed out number one pencils at
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 7: the ballot, at the ballot sites, and they should have
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 7: put out number two pencils. And they excluded hundreds of
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 7: thousands of voters because they used a number one pencil
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 7: on their ballots. They intentionally gave the wrong pencils so
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 7: that the voters would be cheated, and that's how Trump
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 7: won in 2020. in that election.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 3: David, that is simply outrageous. It's just outrageous. And again,
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: you come to the conversation with no proof. David, we're
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: going to have to leave it there. Thank you for calling.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 3: Let's go to Louise in Georgia. Louise, what say you?
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 13: I'll tell you what, you had a nutcase from Neal Hoyer.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 9: Oh, I know.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 13: A very big Democrat. Voting is what I do want
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 13: to talk about. But a couple of things, and I
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 13: haven't bothered you in a long time, so let me
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 13: just have my little monologue here.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 3: Well, you've got about 90 seconds for that monologue, Louise,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 3: so let's get to it.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 13: Oh, yeah, I can do it. I can do it.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 13: We know they cheat. But this is what bothers me, is,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 13: you know, everybody says the only way we can change
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 13: anything is vote. Well, if they're cheating, how in the
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 13: world are we going to ever change it? But the
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 13: other thing the Americans want to see is these people
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 13: prosecuted like that governor... It is not being prosecuted, but
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 13: other people are. The Somalians are being prosecuted. He needs
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 13: to be sent, too. But I won't put... Did people
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 13: not pay any attention to the polls in 24? I mean,
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 13: they made out like that moron and Trump were neck
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 13: and neck. Don't believe any of that crap. And Georgia
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 13: is not a democratic state. And they talk about a tsunami.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 13: We're going to have a river run red, blood red. tomorrow.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 13: I'm not worried about anything. I know we're going to
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 13: win it.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 3: Well, let me just say this, Louise, about Georgia. And
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 3: this is an unpopular thing to say among the MAGA crowd,
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 3: but it needs to be said. President Trump, when he
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 3: told Georgia voters specifically not to go and vote in
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 3: that Senate race, That's why we're in the situation we're
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 3: in right now in the state of Georgia. And I
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 3: hate to say it, but it's the truth. So we've
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 3: got to make sure that— and I'm with you. I believe
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 3: Georgia is a red state. That's very clear by the
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: results of the gubernatorial race when Brian Kemp won a
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 3: second term in office. No doubt about that. But we've
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: got to start playing smart politics, and Republicans are going
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 3: to lose— If we don't get out and vote, and
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 3: we've already proven that to be the case in Georgia,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 3: so we've got to make sure that we do the
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: right thing and vote, vote, vote. Louise, thank you for
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: the call. All right. Hang tight, everybody. Hour three of
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: The Big Show coming up next. This is The Todd
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 3: Stern Show.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: From Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun-toting, Bible-clinging, deplorable American.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: That's us.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 9: That's right.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: I love this American ride. Todd Starr.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 3: Welcome, everybody. Hour three of the big show. I want
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: to go back and address something. In the last segment
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: of the program, the last hour... We had a guy, David,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: from San Francisco call again and allege that what thousands,
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: if not tens of thousands, I think he may have
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 3: said 20,000 or more, I don't know. I wasn't paying
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 3: that close attention to the numbers. But he said thousands
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 3: of ballots have been thrown out by Republicans giving Trump
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 3: the victory and simply because people had used a number
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 3: one pencil instead of a number two pencil. That story
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 3: is completely untrue. There's no evidence of that happening. There
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: was a story back in the 1920s that resulted in
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: over 2,000 ballots being rejected because election inspectors had initialed
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: those ballots with erasable pencils. That was in 1923. Trump
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: was not on the ballot in 1923. Just want to
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 3: point that out.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 10: So.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: Welcome to the show, everybody. It's Monday. Sometimes you're going
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 3: to get these calls. What do you want me to do?
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: We've got a lot going on. We're going to get
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: to your calls. Hang tight. I know we have Jeff
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 3: in Memphis, Bob in Maryland, Marie in Georgia. Hang tight.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: We're going to get to your calls in just a moment.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 3: I want to go, though, to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 3: Say hello to a good friend, retired Brigadier General John Teichert.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 3: And we call him Dragon. And how long have you
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 3: been called Dragon?
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 10: Todd, thanks for having me on. I am indeed a
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 10: fighter pilot by background, and I got my fighter pilot
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 10: call sign of Dragon all the way back in 1998.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: Is that right? So, wow, that's going back a few years.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 10: It is. Typically, your first assignment, they gather some stories
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 10: about you, and they try to give you a cool-sounding name.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 10: No doubt Dragon is, based on something stupid you did,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 10: and I'm not going to bore your listeners. or indulge
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 10: anything that I'm not supposed to, but it has to
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 10: do with there goes to Spain and nuclear weapons.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 3: Well, we can just use our imaginations there. No, I
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: thought about you last night. Our church had a big
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: orchestra concert, and they started out the concert with the
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 3: theme song to How to Train a Dragon. So I
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 3: thought about.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 10: My wife carefully watched that movie to see if she
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 10: could get any tips, and she didn't find anything.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 3: No tips at all. There's nothing there. General, we wanted
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 3: you to come on to talk about a couple of things. First,
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: this insane crash yesterday in Florida, about nine miles from Mar-a-Lago,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: and it was a Learjet, and it's just really shocking.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 3: We've heard the audio from inside the cockpit, and I
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 3: can't even imagine the horror of That must have unfolded.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 3: We now understand one person has been identified out of
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 3: the nine people on board, a 20-year-old. She was a
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: co-pilot there on the flight. What do you make of
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 3: what happened? I know Governor Ron DeSantis said it sounded
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 3: like a missile coming down.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 10: Todd, first of all, thanks for your morning email. I
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 10: got to hear the cockpit audio and the air traffic
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 10: control audio for the first time this morning based on
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 10: the link in your email, so thank you for that.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 10: And the thing that I found most shocking is that
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 10: if you're paying attention to the radio calls, there is
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 10: a span of less than 30 seconds where everything is
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 10: clearly just fine. And then it gets frantic in less
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 10: than 30 seconds. And I know the National Transportation Safety
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 10: Board just had their initial press conference. I watched that.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 10: And they're going to get to the root cause of
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 10: what happened and why. But something happened during those few seconds.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 10: that created the emergency that ended up in that disaster.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: Is there any way to extrapolate what may have happened
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 3: just as a result of the video? where it's one
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: of these rare instances where we actually have video of
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 3: the plane making impact and it looked like it was
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 3: going full speed as it was coming down?
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 10: It was like a missile, Todd, and I know that
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 10: the immediate cause is going to be something related to
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 10: flight controls and structures, but going back to the root cause,
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 10: What prompted a problem with the plane that was a
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 10: flight control problem or a structural problem will be for
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 10: the investigators, and they're going to scour every possible root
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 10: cause to see if they can find something in air
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 10: traffic control or something in weather or something in maintenance
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 10: or something in the pilot or co-pilot's training that would
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 10: have caused the root cause of this, but certainly the
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 10: impact of is telling in how the airplane was maneuvering
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 10: at the endgame. And the question is, based on everything
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 10: that we know, how did it get to that point?
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 3: Well, it's, and the plane, it's, I mean, what about
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 3: a $ 2 million plane there, the Learjet? Those are pretty popular.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 10: They are. They are commonly proliferated. I've flown varieties of Learjet.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 10: They're reliable. But, you know, the first thing that the
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 10: NTSB investigators are going to do is quarantine all of
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 10: the records. maintenance records, weather records, pilot and co-pilot records,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 10: air traffic control records, to make sure they have the
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 10: data gathered. And then they're going to use their expertise
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 10: over the course of the next month to painstakingly recreate
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 10: what happened, but more importantly, figure out why it happened
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 10: and apply what they learned to make sure it can
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 10: never happen again.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 3: My goodness. Is there any indication that maybe something broke
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 3: off of the plane that would have resulted in the
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 3: pilots not having any control at all?
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 10: Todd, when I say a structural problem, that's a little
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 10: bit what I'm implying. And when you go to the
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 10: root cause, was there a structural problem or a flight
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 10: control problem because of something that went wrong in maintenance?
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 10: Or could it have been caused by something like the
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 10: weather conditions in which they were flying? And if so,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 10: would it have been preventable if they would have known
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 10: what they should have known? Or could they have recovered
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 10: depending on where it happened during that sequence? So yes,
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 10: it's possible that something could have structurally failed. But the
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 10: question then would be, why did that happen? And that's
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 10: what investigators are trying to figure out.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 3: We have Brigadier General John Teichert joining us. Dragon is
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 3: his call sign back in those days. First of all,
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 3: it was just a horrible, horrible story. But I think
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 3: a lot of folks were very concerned because just the
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 3: day before, they had announced that they were setting up
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 3: anti-missile defense systems around Mar-a-Lago as well as Donald J.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: Trump International Airport. Of course, that had absolutely nothing to
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 3: do with this, but a lot of folks are wondering
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: what the heck is going on at Mar-a-Lago and Donald
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: Trump International Airport.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 10: Todd, I just think it's good stewardship of the protection
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 10: of the president. We know, especially based on threats from
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 10: malign actors like Iran, that they're going to do whatever
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 10: they can to harm the president and other governmental leaders.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 10: And so not only do we need normal Secret Service
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 10: protection for the president, but we need to make sure
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 10: he's protected in every possible domain. And the air and
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 10: missile domains are one of those that the adversary could
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 10: use to try to strike out at the president. And
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 10: I'm glad that he is having the protections installed around Mar-a-Lago.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 10: like they likely have around the White House and elsewhere,
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 10: to make sure that he's protected in the right way,
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 10: completely and robustly at all times.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, it makes a lot of sense, especially with
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 3: nowadays when anybody could put up a drone armed with
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 3: some sort of an explosive device or a chemical device
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 3: or something. And I mean, within a matter of seconds,
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 3: you could have a pretty serious situation on your hands.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 10: You could, and even if it's something, like you said,
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 10: as small as a drone, a quadcopter that you go
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 10: to buy at Best Buy, and you scrap something onto it,
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 10: and you fly it to a place where you think
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 10: you could hurt the president or hurt Air Force One.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 10: And so I'm glad that we are creating this layered,
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 10: full-spectrum defense of the president based on the current knowledge
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 10: we have about potential threats. And those are low-end like
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 10: those drones, and they're high-end like missiles or airplanes, things
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 10: that could hurt the president we need to protect him from.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 3: Makes sense. I mean, it makes perfect sense. I'd love
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 3: to get your take on this operation.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 8: What is it?
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 3: Pentagon's Fortress America operation. People are really freaking out about,
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 3: and mostly on social media, but I saw a lot
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 3: of people at the grocery store stocking up on canned
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 3: goods and bottled water the other day. And people are
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 3: really concerned that something may be about to happen. You
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 3: had Bongino coming out and saying, hey, look, you need
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 3: to be prepared. Others coming in, and I get that.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's anything wrong with saying be prepared.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 3: But when you couple that with the news coming out
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 3: of the Pentagon, it kind of makes people wonder what
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 3: is going on.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 10: Todd, I got a lot of calls from concerned people
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 10: and concerned pastors last week about this topic, and I
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 10: don't think there's any imminent large-scale threat against Americans. I
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 10: think it's a bit of stewardship on the part of
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 10: the Pentagon that our bases are high-impact targets. And if
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 10: a grid went down or an attack happened, then they
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 10: need some level of self-sustainability so that they can accomplish
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 10: their mission in spite of the threats that could be
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 10: out there. And then going back to Americans, individuals, I
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 10: believe that we should have some level of water and
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 10: food and power and security as individuals so that if
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 10: the power grid goes down because of a natural disaster
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 10: or a malign actor, then we can take care of ourselves.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 10: That's good stewardship for a few days before our communities
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 10: are able to get back on their feet.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 3: You know what I've got, Dragon? I've started doing a
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 3: little bit of the whole prep stuff, because you do
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 3: want to be prepared. I've got a giant Rand McNally map,
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 3: because you know... If the grid goes down and all
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 3: of it, you know, you're not going to be able
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 3: to ask Siri to get you from point A to
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 3: point B. I'm ready. I may be the only guy
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 3: in America that can get you from point A to
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 3: point B on the Rand McNally.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 10: Todd, there's a lot of people that don't know how
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 10: to read those things. I'm glad people like you and
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 10: I do. And maybe I should spend some time teaching
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 10: my kids how to read an old school map or almanac.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 10: so they can figure themselves out when the grid goes down.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's it. I got the almanac, too. But look,
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 3: you've got to teach them how to drive while unfolding
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 3: the map and maintaining the vehicle on the roadway.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 10: It's a high-risk situation, no doubt. It adds a whole
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 10: different level of risk and difficulty just performing the basic
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 10: task of driving. But then again, if they're not checking TikTok,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 10: then they're probably a lot safer.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 3: Look, it's a great point. I did say this. If
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 3: you've got a talk radio host or any other podcaster
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 3: and they're out there and one of their big national
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 3: sponsors is a prepper, you need to just think before
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 3: you jump in and start spending a million dollars on
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 3: a bunker because there may be a financial motive.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 10: Yeah, consider the source and consider their inspiration or why
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 10: they're so inclined to talk about such an issue.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 3: And you're right.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 10: Your why is to maybe take a step back. We
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 10: call it in the flying community, wind the clock, which
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 10: means take an assessment of the situation before you jump
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 10: in to do anything drastic. And sure enough, it is
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 10: wise to be prepared, but we don't need to overdo
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 10: it because there is nothing imminent about the current threat.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 3: That's it. All right. Dragon, always good hearing from you,
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 3: my friend.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 10: Thank you, Todd.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 3: All right. Brigadier General John Teichert bringing wise words to
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 3: all of us on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Dylan,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 3: we're not going to name names. We had one of
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 3: those prepper companies that wanted us to do– they wanted
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 3: to do an ad buy. And they sent us, like,
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 3: some of the samples of the stuff. And all I
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 3: can tell you is we tried some of it. And
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking, you know what? If that's the alternative, can
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 3: I just be vaporized in the initial blast and just
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 3: be done with it?
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 9: Well, you're not supposed to have to use it until really–
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 9: You're getting down to the wire, probably.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sitting here going, yeah, that's what I had
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 3: to look forward to, you know, in post-apocalyptic America.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 9: It's better just to end it all.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 3: The powdered green beans.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 9: Yeah. That'll get you going.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed. You know, it is funny, though,
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 3: when you think about it. Could America, I mean, the
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 3: vast majority of Americans, could they really survive, you know,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 3: if the grid went down for like six months, three
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 3: to six months? I don't think they could.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 9: I couldn't do it for six days probably.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 3: No, I don't have trust in my fellow Americans. People
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 3: are going to freak out. They're going to lose their minds.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 3: Just try being off Facebook or TikTok for 24 hours.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 9: I think there's an actual stat of like 72 hours
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 9: or something like that where it's like past that, it's
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 9: all just chaos.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 3: I think humanity collapses in 72 hours. I think it
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 3: really would be that quick.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 5: It's terrible.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 9: You would think it would be a little bit longer,
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 9: but seeing how COVID went, like, yeah.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 3: No people lose their very loving minds.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 3: You've got to be prepared. All right. We're going to
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 3: take a quick break. You know, let's go to Marie, though.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 3: Marie's been holding on for a while. Before we go
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 3: to break, Marie wants to weigh in on the election. Hi, Marie.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 3: What's on your mind?
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 11: Hi, Todd.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 7: How are you?
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 5: I'm well.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 10: Good.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 17: Well, earlier in the last segment, you guys were talking
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 17: to someone in Georgia, and I just wanted to say
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 17: that I've heard people calling in on shows, and they
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 17: were mad at whoever, and they said, oh, I'm not
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 17: going to vote. I'm going to show them. And I
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 17: was glad to hear you tell people, get out and vote,
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 17: because I mean, I don't know why they think that
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 17: holding back their little vote is going to make things
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 17: better instead of going and voting for what they want.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 17: And we have somebody running for governor here that she
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 17: was a mayor in Atlanta and quit in the middle
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 17: of her or maybe toward the end of her term.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 17: And I just can't even believe she's on the ballot.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 17: So I just wanted to tell you thank you. And
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 17: I enjoyed your interview with the colonel. So I just
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 17: wanted to tell you that.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 3: Marie, thank you so much. I appreciate you calling in.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 3: And yeah, we just got to go out and vote.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 3: Rick Jackson's going to be a great governor for you guys.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 3: I have no doubt about it, but we've got to
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 3: get out and vote, folks. Got to do it. Okay,
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 3: we've got to take a break. We'll be right back.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 3: All right, let's get right back to the phones. 901-260-5926
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 3: on this election eve. Jeff in Memphis listening to us
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 3: on KWAM. Hi, Jeff. What's on your mind?
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 5: Good afternoon, Todd. How are you, sir?
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 3: I'm well. Thank you for asking, Jeff.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 5: Yes, thank you. Just a quick comment. Losing the House,
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 5: at least, would not be altogether surprising at the midterms.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 5: There's historical precedent for that going all the way back
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 5: to Roosevelt. Then you look at Clinton. You look at
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 5: Barack Obama. The only Republican president that there was not
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 5: just an overwhelming shift was during Reagan's two terms. But
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 5: in 66, Lyndon Johnson, he lost. There's a chart that
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 5: shows this. So there's historical precedence for the sitting president
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 5: to lose the House, particularly when he's a lame duck. Secondly,
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 5: Trump's approval rating is less than soaring. There's another Middle
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 5: East conflict that drags on. It's unpopular. There's no end
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 5: in sight. Another foreign policy cul-de-sac by what Ike would
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 5: have called industrial-military complex. And the economy is still somewhat
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 5: limping along. And quite frankly, I voted Republican since 1980.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 5: Seventy years old. I've already voted. I voted Republican in
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 5: this one, with the lone exception of Marsha Blackburn. Marsha's
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 5: had 30 years in office. She's elected to the Senate,
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 5: and I just did not vote for Marsha.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 3: Do you mind if I, may I ask you who
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 3: you did vote for?
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 5: No, I'm happy to tell you I voted as a
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 5: protest vote for David Hatley. I don't think he's going
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 5: to get it, but I was not going to vote
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 5: for a Democrat because of moral conviction, a biblical world
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 5: and life view, but I just, so many times, honestly, Todd,
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 5: over the last 20 to 30 years, I have voted
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 5: as the lesser of two evils, not because I was
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 5: altogether excited by the Republican candidate, because they were compelling, cogent, clear.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 5: I voted for moral and biblical principles. And this time, however,
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 5: I opted just to not pull the lever for Marsha Blyburn.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 5: I think she's going to get it. She's not quite
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 5: as shrill as what Peggy Noonan called Hillary Clinton's attempt
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 5: to be commanding in a speech. She said, Noonan said
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 5: of Hillary, she's like the building superintendent yelling up to
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 5: the third floor, get your bicycle off the patio.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 5: So Marcia's not quite that shrill, but I don't think
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 5: Marcia's a commanding candidate. Jeff?
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 3: We're going to have to leave it there, my friend.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 3: Computer's going to cut us off, but I appreciate you
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 3: calling in. I'll address some of the things you had
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 3: to say about the midterms coming up. Dylan, I forgot
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 3: to tell you what happened over the weekend. This is
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 3: kind of shocking. Really, I haven't been kicked out of
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 3: too many things in life, but that changed over the weekend.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 9: What did you do?
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 3: So, you know, on the Facebook, and they have the groups, right?
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 3: The Facebook groups.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: Ah, yes.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 3: And I don't belong to a lot of these groups,
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 3: but there is one good group for the neighborhood. I
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 3: live in Germantown, Tennessee, which is a hoity-toity neighborhood community
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 3: outside of Memphis. It's a suburb. And, you know, the
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 3: group is good. I haven't posted in the group in
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 3: like three years. And normally it's like, oh, I have
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 3: to tell you about how great the people are at
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 3: Germantown Pharmacy. Or, hey, I'm looking for a good Chinese restaurant.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 3: Can you recommend something? And, you know, just stuff like that. Yeah,
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 3: just normal stuff. Well, this Facebook group has become politicized.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 3: And again, I stayed out of it. I've got too much.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 3: We handle too much drama on the national radio show
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 3: to be bothered with what's happening in Germantown. But a
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 3: good friend of mine, she's running for school board. And
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 3: on my personal private page, I just told everybody, hey, look,
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm endorsing. Her name is Vicki Gandy, and
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 3: she's a great realtor. She's a longtime conservative. And, you know,
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 3: she lives in Germantown, wants to run for the school board.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 3: I think she'd do a great job. a longtime Republican,
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 3: very loyal Republican leader, and she's very conservative. So anyway,
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 3: there's another woman running, and she's on the PTA, and
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 3: she claims to be a Republican, claims to be a Republican,
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 3: but she's running as an independent. And so my question is, well,
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 3: if you're a Republican, why didn't you run in the primary?
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 3: against Vicki Gandy. So I don't know the answer to
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 3: that question. It's none of my business. I'm sure she's
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 3: a very nice person. But the people that are supporting her,
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 3: this opponent of Vicki Gandy's, the people that oppose her
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 3: are just downright evil, just ugly and evil. I mean,
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 3: they are using that Facebook group to just brutally attack
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 3: Vicky Gandy, whose only crime is what? Running for school board.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 3: And so my question is, I'm like, it's a freaking
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 3: school board race, which are very important, mind you. They're
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 3: very important. But it's like the level of vitriol and
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 3: hate directed at Vicky Gandy would be like if you're
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 3: running for president of the United States. And so these guys,
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 3: and basically they're a bunch of... Men who control the page,
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 3: and I think one of them, his spouse, is on
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 3: the school board, so I think there's some bad blood
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 3: there or whatever. I don't know. But anyway, it always
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 3: makes me suspect when I see grown men using a
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 3: Facebook group to, like, belittle women. Yeah. What's that all about?
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 9: Yeah, what is that? That's weird, man.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 3: You know what I sense? Jazz hands.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 9: Maybe a little bit, yeah.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 3: Small man parts. I'm just saying. I don't know. So anyway,
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 3: I'm minding my own business. I'm not getting involved in
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 3: that at all. So anyway, over the weekend, I was
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 3: actually looking for a good restaurant recommendation. And I realized
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 3: I had been kicked out of the group. And it
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 3: was because I supported this woman for school board. And
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 3: they kicked me out of the group.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 8: I'm like, what the heck?
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 3: So then it turns out that they're literally purging the
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 3: entire group. So if you support the school board candidate,
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 3: then you get booted from the group. How petty can
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 3: you be?
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 9: Very petty. That's extremely petty. But I'm not surprised. At
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 9: the end of the day, it is Germantown.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 3: Their closet libtards is what they are. And I hate
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 3: to say that, but when I moved to Germantown, I
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 3: didn't realize until I moved there how liberal these people
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 3: really are. I mean, it's insane. And the problem is
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 3: they're in denial. They don't realize just how liberal they are.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 9: You don't know you're sick until someone tells you you're sick.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 9: That doesn't make any sense. But it totally adds up
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 9: for what you're saying.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 6: There were signs.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of juice bars everywhere. Vegan restaurants and
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 3: yoga joints.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah. Stuff we didn't ask for started popping up in Germantown.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 3: Oh. And by the way, so our good friends, Moms
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 3: for Liberty, they consider Moms for Liberty, the local Moms
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 3: for Liberty chapter, to be like Nazis. So again, it's
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 3: another warning. And these people were among the first in
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 3: America to mask up. We have to wear the masks.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 3: We've got to mask the children.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 9: That's not even closet liberal anymore. That's just straight up.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 3: Retarded. Sorry.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 9: I'll let you keep it.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 3: So it just seems to be.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 3: I don't know why they have something stuck in their
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 3: craw against my dear friend, Vicki Gandy, who has been
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 3: a guest on this show. She's a great conservative. And
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 3: the funny thing is, she's really running for president. I've
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 3: got to be careful, guys, because they'll twist what I'm
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 3: saying here. I know some of these people are listening
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 3: to the show. And again, it's a school-born race. But,
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 3: you know, Vicki is actually out there praising her opponent,
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 3: saying she's a very nice person, she's been very involved
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 3: in the PTA and all that kind of stuff. She's
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 3: never said an ill word about her opponent. Meanwhile, her opponent's,
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 3: you know, I guess, mob is just ugly. I mean, honestly,
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised that Mr. Dandy hasn't invited those gentlemen out
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 3: into the street to settle this like men. I mean,
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 3: some of the things they're saying about them.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 9: That's what needs to happen, honestly.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 3: Deliver that message to the bridge of one's nose.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 8: When you're punched in the nose, that's just mean.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 9: Next thing you know, a Botox shop is opening up
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 9: right next door.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 9: Fix the nose problem.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 10: Got it.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 3: Well, oh, they have a lot of surgery, you know,
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 3: plastic surgery places over in Germantown, too. I should have
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 3: moved further out east. Just keep on going. Keep on going.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 3: Too many libtards in these parts. So anyway, that was
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 3: my weekend and just having to deal with a lot
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 3: of this hate mail. Look, let me just say this
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 3: about the national election. I could do what all the
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 3: other talk radio hosts are doing, and it's like make
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 3: you depressed every day. But again, if everybody gets out
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 3: to vote, we're going to be okay. Let me tell you, though,
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 3: the big problem in America. You know who doesn't vote?
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 3: And this is shocking, but it's true. Evangelical Christians don't vote. Also,
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 3: hunters don't vote. So if you're a hunter and you
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 3: like going out and you're a sportsman, you guys don't
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 3: vote either. So when they come and take away your
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 3: church houses and your guns, don't come complaining to me
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 3: about it. That's all I'm going to tell you. Now, look,
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 3: is it possible that tomorrow could be a blue tsunami? Yeah,
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 3: I guess so if you people stay home and don't vote.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 3: Or if there are massive amounts of illegals voting, which, again,
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 3: those 20,000 votes in California came from Los Angeles. Those
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 3: types of numbers impact races and elections. They just do. So, look,
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm prepared either way. I'm prepared for us
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 3: to have a conversation, a serious conversation on Wednesday after
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 3: the elections. The Republicans are either going to get a
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 3: reprieve or they're not. And you guys get to decide
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 3: how that all plays out. I am wondering, though, any
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 3: of you who said early on, that's it, I'm not
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 3: voting for these people, I'm done. Have you changed your
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 3: mind or do you still stand by your decision? Curious
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 3: to hear your thoughts on that. 901-260-5926, our number. That's 901-260-5926.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 3: All right, I want to play some audio here. This
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 3: is Mike Rogers talking about Haley Stevens and this last-minute
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 3: endorsement that she made. Actually, first let's talk about, I
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 3: want to play the Haley Stevens officially endorsing Mike Rogers.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 3: Cut number 11.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 11: My vote for Senate, I am just one vote, as
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 11: is every Michigander. My vote for Senate is going to
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 11: be with Mike Rogers, and I will tell you why.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 11: Because we have to stand with country. We can't stand
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 11: with hate. We can't stand with Hassan Piker. A friend
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 11: of mine was talking about how education is on the ballot.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 11: And it's very true. There's a lot of young people
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 11: looking at this election. I was a young person once.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 11: And we've got to make a choice about who is
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 11: standing with them. I think that Chuck Schumer is going
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 11: to become the majority leader. And I think that there
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 11: are Incredible Democrats and incredible activity taking place across this country.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 11: I stood with my party, and I was booed off
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 11: the stage. And, you know, it violently shouted down. You know,
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 11: I was up there with other Democrats. Those people who
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 11: were on that stage with me, they were going to
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 11: make their choice. The ballot box is still very personal
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 11: and private. And today, in a moment of faith, tied
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 11: to my faith, into this great city. By the way,
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 11: I'm standing here with a guy named Mike Rogers. And
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 11: there's another guy named Mike who ran the city of
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 11: Detroit for 12 years. And a lot of Detroiters voted
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 11: for him. And, you know, he kind of looks like
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 11: this guy. And you know what happened with that Mike?
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 11: You know, he stepped out of his party.
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 8: He put up his.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 11: Hand for a brief while. He was running for governor.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 11: You know, I don't know everything that's going to happen.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 11: And all I can do is lead with love and integrity.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 11: This was a personal and private decision. I woke up
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 11: this morning, and I decided to go to church. And
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 11: I'm here with the person who I am voting for
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 11: for United States Senate, and that is Mike Rogers. Wow.
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 3: There you go. So Mike Rogers talking about all of this.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 3: Cut number 13. Say to Abdul and.
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 13: His campaign, they're so confident, they think they're going to
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 13: win on Tuesday.
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 21: Well, that's the same arrogance that cost him Haley Stevens
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 21: to be. What he did is pushed her out of
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 21: his campaign, tried to say his voters weren't important.
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 3: And we've been in this community, we've been talking.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 9: To these voters for months, and we're having a lot
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 9: of progress.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 21: So when he did this, this wasn't Haley Stevens making
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 21: up her mind, this was Abdul being angry and divisive
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 21: and chasing her into a corner, which I think was
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 21: really unfortunate.
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure that's.
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 9: Where she wanted to be.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 21: But when you can't disavow hate the way he cannot
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 21: disavow it, that's an issue.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 3: And I think voters are going to take that under consideration.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 3: We feel great where we are today. All right, there
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 3: you go, ladies and gentlemen. How about that? How about that?
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 3: By the way, I'm not sure this could have some blowback. Apparently,
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 3: El-Sayed had one of his largest donation days in the
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 3: history of the campaign after Haley Stevens did that. All right,
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 3: let's sneak in a call here before we go to
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 3: break and say hello to Tammy in Georgia, WDUN, our
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 3: great affiliate there. Hi, Tammy, what's going on?
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 20: Not a whole lot, Todd. I love your show, love
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 20: to listen to it, and just enjoy listening to you
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 20: every day.
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 20: I just wanted to kind of weigh in on the voting.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 20: I have not voted yet. I will go vote tomorrow.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 20: I'm a staunch go vote the day of voting person.
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 20: But I know that there's a lot of people out
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 20: there who kind of feel like me. You want to
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 20: just hold your nose and just go vote as best
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 20: you can. Your choices this year are freedom versus communism socialist.
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 20: To me, there's no choice. It doesn't matter if I
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 20: like the Republican candidates or I don't, but the alternative
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 20: is much worse. So I do want to say, if
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 20: you haven't voted, get out and vote. If you're legal,
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 20: I'm big on that. So just kind of wanted to
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 20: weigh in on, if you have to hold your nose
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 20: and go to the polls, Hold your nose, go to
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 20: the polls, and vote. It is important.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 3: Well said, Tammy. Well said. And again, that's what a
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 3: lot of people are going to have to do, and
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 3: that's okay. As long as we get these Republicans across
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 3: the finish line and we can deal with them and
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 3: their betrayal of the voters, we can deal with that later.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 3: But right now we've got to stop. We've got to
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 3: stop the socialists dead in their tracks. And we've also
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 3: got to protect President Trump. And Tammy, for me, that
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 3: is a big part of this is protecting President Trump.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 20: A hundred percent. I totally agree with you.
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 3: All right. I'm sorry. Go ahead, Tammy.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 20: No, I was just going to say thanks so much,
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 20: and you have a great day.
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 3: Tammy, you too. Happy voting. Proud to hear that you're
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 3: doing that tomorrow. And ladies and gentlemen, we've got to
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 3: take a quick break. This is the Todd Stern Show.
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 3: All right, let's go to Gary in Oregon. Gary, what's
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 3: on your mind today?
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 15: Well, mostly the polls. We went out door-knocking here south
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 15: of Portland yesterday.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 15: on saturday we covered about five hundred of people republicans
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 15: only that very rarely vote and uh... that had not
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 15: voted yet and we went to five hundred or two
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 15: probably hit about a hundred of them and we could
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 15: hardly find anybody who hasn't voted yet uh... and world
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 15: were mail-in vote only state so i think that they
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 15: don't really realize how many republicans are actually voting I
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 15: think they're way underestimating. I certainly understand they are here
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 15: in Oregon. Our state has a chance to vote for
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 15: a pro-life Christian instead of the lesbian we have now.
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 3: Gary, I'm wondering, as you were polling folks, any takeaways
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 3: from that?
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 15: Yeah, they're very excited. They are very excited about voting
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 15: for Christine Drazen, who's the governor, and they're very tired
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 15: of the 40 years of taxes and nonsense. And really,
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 15: it's the excessive gas tax and stuff like that that
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 15: people are really, really upset with. We just had a
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 15: refusal of the gas tax that went $ 85. 15, which means
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 15: a lot of Democrats are voting against it, too.
• 1:48:37
