Trump Defies Court Order, Keeps CNN, MS-NOW Ban in Place · ToddCast Podcast with Todd Starnes

• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Broadcasting coast to coast and border to border.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: From Memphis, Tennessee.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: That's us, that's right.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: I love this American ride.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Todd Starks.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Well, the national media, they're in an uproar. The court,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: a federal judge said, yeah, Trump, you got to let
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: CNN and Politico and PMS Now, you got to let
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: them back in. You got to let them back into
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the White House, to the Oval Office. And Trump said, yeah,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: good luck with that. So the White House and President
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Trump openly defying the federal judge and not allowing any
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: of the CNN, Politico, or PMS Now staffers to enter
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: the White House. So now the reporters are asking for
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: an emergency injunction that would force the, I mean, I
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: don't know, what are they going to do, send in
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: the military? And again, is that where we're going with
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: all of this? We're You can't make this stuff up,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. So look, good on the president. I
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: want him to make their lives as miserable as humanly possible.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: And now they're all whining because the communist Chinese, their
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: reporters are in the White House, but CNN is not.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: You know why? You know why that is? As a
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: matter of fact, the little dwarf king, Brian Stelter, he's
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: on CNN just a few moments ago. Here's what he
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: had to say. Cut 49.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: As our colleague Caitlin Collins put it to me a
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: moment ago, right now the Chinese communist state media are
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: allowed on the White House grounds, but we are not.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: And I think that says it all.
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: That certainly sums it up.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: You know why? You know why, little Brian Stelter? You
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: want to know why the communist Chinese reporters are allowed?
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Because as bad as the communist Chinese are, they are
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: nowhere near as bad as the garbage spewing out of
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: CNN and Politico and PMS now. That's the reason why.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: So anyway, there is so much outrage. Nobody's even covering
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Xi Jinping. They're all talking about how bad it is
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: that Trump will not allow CNN and all these others
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: into the White House. So let me just offer a
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: thought here on this, and we'll have more to say
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: about this later, because I've got to get to a
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: bit of controversy that we have created and instigated here
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: on the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Well, by the way,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: welcome to the show. Great to have you with us today.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: So here's my thought on this, and we'll put a
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: pin on this topic for just a moment. But here's
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: my thought on this. So first of all, the president
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: is well within his rights to do whatever he wants
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: to do. I mean, that's ultimately it. There is no
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: constitutional requirement that reporters actually be allowed to step foot
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: on the White House grounds. None whatsoever. So it just
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: seems to me that if, in fact, the president is
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: forced to relent, and this may go all the way,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know, this could go all the way to
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the Supreme Court, but if that's the case, here's what
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: needs to happen. The president should say, okay, fine, you
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: know what, we will honor the court ruling. We will
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: allow CNN and PMS Now and Politico to come back
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: to their workspace. But here's what I would suggest the
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: president do. The president should instruct the White House staff
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: under no, under no, they are under no obligation and
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: under no circumstances should any member of the staff talk
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to CNN, acknowledge their presence, or even take their questions. Period.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: It's almost as if they're ghosts. That's how Trump ought
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: to treat them, because Trump is under no obligation to
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: answer their questions, say howdy-do, or even acknowledge the fact
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: that they exist. That's what I would do. And the
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: reason why, you've got to play hardball with these people.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: They're nothing more than liars and cheats and ne'er-do-wells at CNN.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: These people hate our country. They hate our president. And
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: they have, for the past decade, they have committed themselves
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: to the destruction of Donald J. Trump and his family.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: And it seems to me that at some point, President
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Trump has a right to say enough is enough. And
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: that time has come and gone. So anyway, that's where
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: we are right now. And these people are so butthurt.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: And it's because they think they're important. And they're nobodies.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: They're absolute nobodies. By the way, has anybody missed CNN
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: and PMS Now and Politico over the past couple of days? Anybody? No,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. Didn't even realize they were no
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: longer a part of the White House pool. Oh, and
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: so now they've got some of these conservative groups, and
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: they're stepping up. And by the way, they're not charging
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: a penny. And they're saying, you know what? We will
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: provide the pool coverage of the president. And it's been
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: just fine. Everything's been hunky-dory. So there you go. 901-260-5926
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. I want to play
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: some audio here in just a moment. And this involves
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the chair of the RNC. He was on News Nation.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: And he said that, look, when it comes to the midterms,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: he said the voters, all of you conservative Republican voters
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: out there, You just got to you got to give
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: them more time. They need more time to get President
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Trump's agenda across the finish line. Take a listen to
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: cut 40, please.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: President told us on Inauguration Day that the golden age
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: of America was here and coming. And he keeps on
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: saying that.
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: Watch.
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: You are the first West Point graduates of the golden
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: age of America.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: It will be indeed a golden age for farmers. It's
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: like the golden age of America. It's the golden age
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: of the automobile business.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: But when you look at what's going on right now,
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: gas prices nationally, Joe, $ 4.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: 47 on average.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: Diesel prices on average, $ 6.
• 6:57
  Speaker 9: 50.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: Mortgage rates right now are at above 7% nationally. Inflation
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: is at 3.4%, while average hourly earnings are lower than
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: that at 3.1%. How are you making the case that
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: that is the golden age?
• 7:17
  Speaker 10: It's a great American comeback. Look at all the great
• 7:19
  Speaker 10: things this president has done. Twenty one trillion dollars.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: But some would say, well, what come back if 18
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: months in, 20 months in?
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: Those are the results.
• 7:26
  Speaker 10: Joe Biden left is an absolute disaster. Under him, he
• 7:29
  Speaker 10: had nine and a half percent inflation. Gas prices were
• 7:32
  Speaker 10: over five dollars and there was no conflict. This president
• 7:34
  Speaker 10: has gone to bat for the American workers since day
• 7:36
  Speaker 10: one with all of his policies. He's going to continue
• 7:39
  Speaker 10: to work on their behalf. And listen, he has sympathy
• 7:41
  Speaker 10: for others, and he wants his conflict gone. You don't
• 7:43
  Speaker 10: know about a national security impact, and we cannot allow
• 7:47
  Speaker 10: Iran to have a nuclear weapon. We don't know everything
• 7:50
  Speaker 10: that they know. I think he did the right thing.
• 7:52
  Speaker 10: I think I still support him, and I think he's
• 7:54
  Speaker 10: trying to get out of the war.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: He hates war. That's why he signed eight different peace deals.
• 7:59
  Speaker 10: But that being said, his number one priority and job
• 8:01
  Speaker 10: as president of the United States is to defend our country,
• 8:05
  Speaker 10: and that's what he's doing. And so this war will
• 8:07
  Speaker 10: come and go.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: He'll get things.
• 8:09
  Speaker 10: Back on track. We've just got to give him more time.
• 8:10
  Speaker 10: We've got to have Republicans in both the House and
• 8:13
  Speaker 10: the Senate.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: There's going to be some folks who listen to you
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: who just say we've got to give him more time.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: Is that really the pitch heading into November, give us
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: more time?
• 8:22
  Speaker 10: Well, I say look at everything that he has done,
• 8:25
  Speaker 10: $ 21 trillion worth of investments, Trump Rx accounts, Trump accounts,
• 8:29
  Speaker 10: the working family tax cuts. He has transformed the Republican
• 8:32
  Speaker 10: Party into the working man's party. He will get America
• 8:35
  Speaker 10: back to work. GDP is high. Stock prices are high.
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: Yes, he has.
• 8:39
  Speaker 10: Empathy for those who are working and who are struggling.
• 8:41
  Speaker 10: We've got to help them, but we help them by growing.
• 8:43
  Speaker 10: We don't think that— The communism utopia that the left
• 8:47
  Speaker 10: offers in Havana and Beijing and Moscow is the path
• 8:50
  Speaker 10: we want to take. We've got to do the right thing.
• 8:52
  Speaker 10: We've got to continue to give people the chance to
• 8:54
  Speaker 10: live the American dream.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: All right, that's it. So their argument, the big fight,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: this is what every Republican running for Congress in the
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: midterms is going to say on the campaign trail, give
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: us more time. Well, you know what? You've had two years.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: What did you do with that? You squandered it. Look,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on inside the White House
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: right now or at RNC headquarters, but we need to
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: have a come-to-Jesus minute here, ladies and gentlemen, because this
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: is becoming one of the biggest excrement shows in modern
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: political history. And it's either the result of sabotage or
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: gross incompetence or both. But for the RNC chair to
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: go on national television, on News Nation, and suggest that
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: the message for the voters is, we just need some
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: more time, is laughable. I mean, absolutely laughable. They've had
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: two years. But instead of delivering, I don't know, the
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: president's agenda, the Republican Party has been squandering their time
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: and our goodwill. So all I can tell you is
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: that congressional Republicans need to dig around and get their
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: heads out of their butts and realize that the voters
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: are freaking enraged right now. They're furious. And by the way,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: the anger and the rage is absolutely righteous. Now, I'm
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: just going to tell it like it is, folks. That's
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: the only way I know how to do this. But
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: right now, you've got the establishment Republicans, and we know
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: what they're doing. We know because the House of Representatives,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: they've sent over, what, 700 pieces of legislation. What are
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: they waiting for? What are they waiting for? Well, they're
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: waiting for Trump to get out of office. That's what
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: they're waiting for. So we know what the establishment Republicans
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: are doing. They're slow marching all of this. They're slow
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: marching the president's agenda through the Senate. And let me
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: say something else about the White House. And again, they
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: don't pay my bills. They don't give me any money.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I don't get invited to the hoity-toity parties. That's okay. Well,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: let me just say something about President Trump's advisers. They
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: don't have a clue what middle class and working class
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Americans are dealing with right now. And I hear it
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: from you guys every single day on this radio program.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: But they're not listening. And it's almost as if the
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Trump administration has decided to just write off all of
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: you Gen Z voters. There is an absolute, complete, and
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: utter disconnect between the White House right now and the
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: America First voters. I mean, what, a couple of days ago,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: we had one of the Republican congressional candidates, I was
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: just stunned by this, stunned, who said the answer to
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: dealing with higher beef prices was to eat more turkey.
• 12:03
  Speaker 11: Unbelievable.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: You've got people out there saying you've got a patriotic
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: duty to pay higher gas prices. Now, One of the
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: big problems is they've got a lot of GOP sycophants.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: And these people, they are beholden to the Chamber of
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Commerce and big business and also the lobbyists out there
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: and the political consultant class. And these people are more
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: interested in lining their own pockets and getting the exclusive
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: invitations to the White House and Mar-a-Lago than doing what
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: is actually best for the country. And what is best
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: for the country? Well, what's best for the country is
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: for Congress and, yes, the White House to deliver President
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Trump's agenda. Now, here's the deal. If RNC headquarters need
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: some help understanding what our message to the voters should be,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: and by the way, the guy's question on NewsNation was
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: about the Golden Age. Well, the Golden Age is here.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: But right now, the Republican Party is blanking it up.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: You need to understand, you're telling me that the head
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: of the RNC can't tell you why we need to
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: put Republicans back in Congress and give them the majority?
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: That's why I wrote a book called The Golden Age.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: I lay it all out. And you know what? I
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: am more than happy, at my own expense, to send
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: a copy of my book to every single staffer at
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: RNC headquarters. Happy to do that. You know what? We've
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: got a whole package of Post-it notes, and I'll actually
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: provide notations. So they don't even have to read all
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: 300 pages. This is unbelievable. Snatching defeat from the jaws
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: of victory. That's what they're doing. So again, over the
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: past two years, Trump has been incredibly successful, while Congress
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: has done nothing. All they had to do was codify
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: the executive orders. That's it. Codify the executive orders. Meanwhile,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: we've got the communists and they're storming the gates of
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Mayberry and the Republicans are sipping Chardonnay at Mar-a-Lago. I'm
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: telling you, the GOP, they have let down President Trump.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: And by the way, President Trump's advisors, they have let
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: down President Trump. All of them are letting down the
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: voters right now. So all that to say, there is
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: still time to fix what is broken. I'm just flabbergasted
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: that the response coming out of RNC headquarters is, give
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: us a couple of more years. They've been telling us
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: that for decades. So all that to say, the GOP
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: needs a swift kick in their blessed assurance. And you
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: know why? Because we've got a freaking infestation and an
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: invasion of communism here in this country. And if we
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: let the Democrats take charge, mark my words, you and
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: I are going to be slurping borscht down in a
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: DNC-run gulag, and nobody wants that. Period. All right, we've
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: got to take a break here. We've got a great
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: show lined up for you today. There's a lot happening today.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Congressman Rudy Yakim is going to be here in just
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: a little while. Also, our good friend Kyle Campbell from
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: the Politically Basic podcast is going to drop by. Your
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: calls as well, 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Stearns
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Radio Show. So again, the Republicans, the official policy and
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: the official request of the RNC, the Republican National Committee,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: is they need more time. And my question, ladies and gentlemen,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: are you willing to give them more time? Is that
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: enough to get you out and vote in November? Our
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: telephone number is 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. I will tell you
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: that right now the Republican candidates are feeling the heat.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Many of them are struggling to raise money. Many of
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: them are having to go out of their districts into
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: places like Los Angeles and New York and Washington, D.C.,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: to raise money so they can continue to campaign. And
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: that tells me that the base of the party, the
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: folks that are out there working hard jobs, that are
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: active in their churches and in their local communities, that
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: they're not buying what the Republicans are trying to sell
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: right now. I mean, it is, and a lot of
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: people have buyer's remorse. I don't think you should. No
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: doubt the Republicans have been a great disappointment to me,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: but they are the only thing protecting Donald Trump from impeachment.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: But keep in mind that we're also, you know, not
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: only is Trump battling the Democrats here, he's battling the Uniparty.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: And there are a good many Republicans that are members
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: of the Uniparty. Doesn't have to be that way, but
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: that is the way it is. And somebody needs to
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: tell you about that because, again, I don't want you
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: to be surprised on Election Day if things don't go
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: very well. I'm hoping they do, but I got to
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: tell you something. I would much rather the Republicans hold
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: a press conference and say, you know what? We screwed up.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: We lied to you. They're never going to do this.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: We lied to you. We took your money. We told
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: you we were going to do things, and we didn't
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: do it. And we're going to try to do better.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Do I think that would work? First of all, they're
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: never going to admit that because they're liars. I mean,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: at least the Democrats are honest with you. Yeah, they
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: are embracing communism and they will throw you in a gulag,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: along with all the other Trump supporters. I'm just saying.
• 18:21
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Hang tight, everybody. 901-260-5926, our number. This is the Todd
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Stern Show.
• 18:33
  Speaker 13: Thank you.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: All right, ladies and gentlemen, when yours truly makes a mistake,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: as you know, we don't bury it in the show.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: We don't wait until the last seconds of the show
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: to correct a mistake or an error. We like to
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: lead off with that. And so I do want to
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: apologize to you, ladies and gentlemen. I suggested that what
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: we ought to do with the White House press briefing
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: room is restore it back to to its original purpose,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: which was a swimming pool. It was Richard Nixon who
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: decided to build the White House press briefing room in
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: its current iteration. And I suggested that one of the
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: solutions is to kick the press, kick everybody out and
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: restore it back to the swimming pool. However, I didn't
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: think this through. And I don't think any of us
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: are prepared to see Anderson Cooper or little Jimmy Acosta
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: running around in their Speedos on the South Lawn. So
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I know I just got a little bit
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: in my throat as well. So I apologize. Sorry for
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: the visual, but there you go. All right, welcome back
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: to the Todd Stearns Radio Program. Great to have you
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: with us. 901-260-5926. I want to go right away to
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Making his inaugural debut on
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: the Todd Stearns Radio Show is the congressman from Indiana's
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: great 2nd Congressional District, Congressman Rudy Yakim. Congressman, good to
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: have you with us today.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: Todd, thanks for having me on, and thanks for clearing
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: that up at the top of the intro here. I'm
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: glad you did.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Congressman, yeah, I'm just, yeah, it's a problem. What can
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: I say? I didn't think it through, so there he goes. Congressman,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I know you're out on the road traveling, and you
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: guys have really done a remarkable job in the House.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: And I love what Speaker Johnson said a few days ago.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: And you actually posted something that went viral on the socials.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: You guys have 700 bills sitting over in the Senate
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: right now. So you guys are doing your job. What
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: in the world is going on over on the Senate side?
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: Well, that is the question. As you said, we have
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: 700 bills waiting on the Senate, and their inaction is
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: kind of, frankly, driving us a little nuts over here
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: in the House, and it's driving the American people nuts, too.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: And when I travel back in Indiana's 2nd District and
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: I hear what's on the minds of Hoosiers that I
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: serve or even traveling across this country, there are so
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: many bills and just great legislation that we've passed that's
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: sitting over there in the Senate. whether it's things like
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: the Farm Bill or the Save America Act or the
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Budget Reconciliation Bill that would fund our military and take
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: care of our farmers. I mean, there's so many things
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: that we've passed. They're just sitting over there and languishing
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: in the Senate. And my hope is that before they
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: skip town for Election Day, they take action, they pass
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: those bills, they send them to the president's desk. Or,
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: you know what, Todd, if they want to make adjustments
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: to them, go ahead, send them back to us. We'll
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: come back to Washington right away, and I'll be the
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: first one on a plane to get back there and
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: get a bill over to the president's desk if they
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: can get something done.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Are you getting any inclination that this is all intentional here,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: that there's an effort to slow down the president's agenda?
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Well, I do know that there are some senators, and
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: Democrats in particular, that do not want to have anything
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: good happen before Election Day. They want to create this
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: narrative that everything's bad out there. And frankly, some of
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: it's because of their inaction. And I'll give you just
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: a great example. The very last thing that we passed
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: before we left town just last week was a bill
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: called the Ratepayer Protection Act. This would guarantee that if
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: a new data center comes to town, that you've got
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: to have the data centers pay their fair share for
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: the incremental cost of the power that they use. Well,
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: they could have easily pushed that through last week, but
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: a Democrat senator objected to it, my belief is, because
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: they don't want to give the American people a win
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: before Election Day.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: It's remarkable. And again, we're dealing with some very bad
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: people on the Democrat side of the aisle. There was
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: a survey, I don't know if you saw this, it
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: came out a few days ago, 33% of Democrats said
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: they would be okay if President Trump were assassinated. Another
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: overwhelming majority said they would be okay if he just
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: died in his sleep. When you look at the communist
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: takeover that's happening on the Democrat side of the aisle, Congressman,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is the MO of the communists to
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: kill their, not just silence, but to kill their political
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: enemies here. I mean, this is a very dangerous time
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: in the country.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: You're so right, Todd. The reality is no one should
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: be surprised when you have Democrats saying that they would
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: be okay with President Trump being assassinated, that we have
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: seen so many assassination attempts on the president's life over
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: the course of the last couple of years. When I
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: think about people like my great-grandfather who fled Eastern Europe
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: because of communism and he came to this country, what
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: I never want to see, Todd, and what I will
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: fight every day to make sure that we prevent... is
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: communism that he fled coming to our shores. That's why
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: I get very concerned when you hear someone like Assange
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Piker talking about how he would welcome the Chinese communist-style
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: leadership to this country. Because that type of ideology, I'm
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: watching it creep in everywhere. It's creeping into our government,
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: into our school systems, into our systems of thought, into
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: who the Democrat Party is, and in particular, their base.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: You've got so many candidates that these Democrats have nominated,
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: whether it's in the House or even... going looking at
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: the U.S.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Senate.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Look at this guy up in Michigan, this crazy guy
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: up there. The inmates are running the asylum over there
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: in the Democrat Party, and we've got to stand up.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: We have to turn out our voters in November and
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: make sure that we show up to the polls in
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: November because communism has been defeated so many times around
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: the world. We cannot allow it to rise up here
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: on our own shores.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, here is Hassan Piker. Let's
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: listen and cut 35, please.
• 25:12
  Speaker 11: I will throw you in prison, okay? I want to
• 25:16
  Speaker 11: put you physically behind a prison. I want Chinese-style communism
• 25:23
  Speaker 11: to happen inside of the Democratic Party right now, okay?
• 25:26
  Speaker 11: I want to do cultural revolution when I see that.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: And then yesterday, and we're not going to play this
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: audio right now, but a college student in Missouri on
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: campus at a TPUSA event wearing a Charlie Kirk freedom
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: shirt covered in blood, and said he's okay with killing
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: people in the name of the First Amendment. I mean, Congressman,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: how do you address this, and how do we address
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: this as a nation?
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: Todd, this is who the Democrats are stumping with every
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: single time, and this is why my great-grandfather did not
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: cross an ocean to start over with nothing so that
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: America could become the place that he fled from. The
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: way we stop this is we turn out to the
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: ballot box and we vote in November. These people have
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: to be defeated at every level, and it starts with
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: the ballot box. We know for sure that the left
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: is going to turn out in November. They're angry.
• 26:22
  Speaker 12: They're radical.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: They're extreme. They're unified in their hatred for Donald Trump.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: We've got to have our conservative base, the libertarians, the moderates,
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: And frankly, just ordinary common sense Americans who showed up
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: two years ago and said, you know what? We don't
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: want men and women's sports. We don't want men in girls' bathrooms.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: We don't want a wide open border. We want to
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: have new jobs created. And by the way, we don't
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: want all these woke DEI programs running inside of our
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: federal government. Those same people who showed up and said,
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: we want common sense over crazy two years ago, those
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: same people have to come back and vote again in November.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: That's how we beat them to it.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Congressman Rudy Yakim joining us from the great state of Indiana.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: And we have a couple of Indiana folks on, Jim
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Banks and, of course, the Stutzmans. Marlon, his wife, I think,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: is the better half of the relationship there. But good
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: people you guys have there in Indiana.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're so fortunate. Indiana is such an incredible state.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: It's a state that has given my family so much,
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: and that we've called home now for 100 years. The
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: Yackel family has called Indiana home. But, you know, when
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: I think about Indiana, it's also a very industrious and
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: entrepreneurial state as well. I mean, the district, I have
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: the opportunity to serve. It's the RV capital of the world.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, we make 85% of the nation's RVs. It's
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: the pontoon boat capital of North America. We make 50%. 60%
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: of the nation's knees, hips, and joints. And, of course,
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: we send our agricultural products all over the globe right
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: from the Hoosier state. So the entrepreneurial spirit is alive
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: and well in Indiana. And that's what we have to
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: wake up and fight for every day. Because if these
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: DSA candidates are allowed to take office, they want to
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: confiscate and control the means of production here in this country.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: That's not the Hoosier way. We've got to make sure
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: that we fight to maintain and protect this country that
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: our founding fathers built 250 years ago.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: All right. Congressman, we're going to have to leave it there,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: and we'd love to get you back on soon and
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: appreciate the great work you're doing, not just here in Indiana,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: but also across the great republic.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Anytime.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: Thanks for your time today, Tom.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: All right. There you go. Congressman Rudy Yakim from the
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: great state of Indiana. All right. 901-260-5926, our telephone number.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: I do want to go to the phone lines here.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Let's say hello to Jackie in Dawsonville, Georgia, listening to
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: us on WDUN. Jackie, what's on your mind today?
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: Todd, I just want to urge every patriotic American to
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: get out and vote in November. Because if we don't,
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: we're going to be in worse shape than it was
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: under Biden or Obama or anybody else. And it's not
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: that I, you know, I called in the other day
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: and I said I'm going to vote one more time.
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: And that's it. But here's the thing. Imagine in your
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: mind a double-bodied leech with one head. And it is
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: hooked on to the juggernaut vein of the American hardworking patriot.
• 29:37
  Speaker 7: And they're sucking us dry. And they just want more talent.
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: so they can bleed us dry.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they do. And look, I mean, Jackie, I'm voting
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: on Election Day. You know, I'm just as disgusted as
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: everybody else. I do wonder, though, if they need to
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: really rejigger their thinking here because they If we're going
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: to have bumper stickers that say, just give us one
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: more chance, I'm not sure that's going to go over
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: well with the Republican voters. We've been down this road many,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: many times before, and it's really been shocking. I know
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: a good many people running for Congress, and you can
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: tell when the consultants get a hold of them because
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: the authenticity is the first thing that they strip away,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: and they try to remake and reshape these candidates. as,
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know, just mindless, moderate robots. And that's not
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: who we need to be electing up on Capitol Hill. Jackie,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: I appreciate the call. 901-260-5926. Let's go to Joe in Ellijay, Georgia. Joe,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: what's going on?
• 30:46
  Speaker 14: Todd, you are exactly right. Republicans have to win the midterms,
• 30:51
  Speaker 14: but you're absolutely right. They're doing a very poor job
• 30:55
  Speaker 14: of communicating the great things that Trump has done, and
• 30:59
  Speaker 14: if they don't get on the ball and do a
• 31:01
  Speaker 14: better job of communicating, you and I both want to
• 31:04
  Speaker 14: win the midterms, but if they keep doing a lousy
• 31:07
  Speaker 14: job of communicating Trump's agenda, which has been great to
• 31:12
  Speaker 14: the taxpayers and the voters, we're going to lose. But
• 31:14
  Speaker 14: I honestly believe that with with efforts like you and
• 31:18
  Speaker 14: what you're saying and other people, I think we can
• 31:21
  Speaker 14: still win the midterms and we must win the midterms
• 31:25
  Speaker 14: because you know what they'll do if they get back in?
• 31:27
  Speaker 14: First thing they'll do is impeach Trump.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, they'll impeach Trump and then they'll start the investigations
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: and they'll be going after everybody. And then they'll start
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: coming after folks like me. Look, I can take care
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: of myself, but the reality is I think we have
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: to believe these people when they say they're going to
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: put us all in prison or gulags or whatever, re-education camps.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: You've got to start believing these people. I mean, that's
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: how dangerous these communists are, Joe. As crazy as it sounds,
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: these are the things they want to do to conservatives.
• 32:06
  Speaker 14: You are exactly right. And, Todd, thank God for you.
• 32:09
  Speaker 14: Keep up your good work. We can still and must
• 32:11
  Speaker 14: win the midterms.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Well, absolutely. Joe from L.A.J., thank you. And it's a
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: great rally cry. We've got to win the midterms. It
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: really is that simple. All right. ToddStearns.com, ladies and gentlemen.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: We have a– oh, you've got to go see the
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: great graphic. Dylan, go to toddsterns.com right now, and we
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: have some great artwork involving Senator Tommy Tuberville and the
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: pilots who may or may not be furries. Oh, boy.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I actually want to see that, Todd,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: if I'm being honest with you. It's a little creepy, but,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: you know, we tried to have a little bit. Right.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: You saw it. It is what it is.
• 32:50
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Go to ToddStarns.com and check it out, folks. You'll get
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: a good chuckle.
• 32:54
  Speaker 15: 901-260-5926.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Starns Show. I just still can't
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: get over the fact, 700 pieces of legislation that the
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: House has passed, the Republican-controlled House, they've passed 700 pieces
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: of legislation, and the Senate has yet to act on
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: any of them. What do you make of that, ladies
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen?
• 33:26
  Speaker 16: 901-260-5926.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: That's 901-260-5926. By the way, Fox News is doubling down,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: and they are going to war with President Trump. I
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: want to play some audio. This happened just a few
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: moments ago, and Jackie Heinrich, she's the White House correspondent
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: for Fox, and she is leading the– by the way,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: she hates Trump. Privately, she hates Trump. And here's what
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: she had to say just a few moments ago on air. Normally, Jackie,
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: we'd be watching a pretty elegant affair on the South Lawn,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: and we don't get access to that now.
• 34:03
  Speaker 9: And that is because even though there has been a
• 34:06
  Speaker 9: ruling by the judge that the badges have to be
• 34:09
  Speaker 9: turned back on. It doesn't address the underlying issue of
• 34:12
  Speaker 9: the government selecting who gets to ask the president questions.
• 34:16
  Speaker 9: So this ruling doesn't automatically reconstitute the pool. And while
• 34:20
  Speaker 9: the government is breaking the pool, then our coverage operations
• 34:24
  Speaker 9: are going.
• 34:24
  Speaker 13: To be impacted.
• 34:26
  Speaker 9: We ordinarily would have a lot of images to show
• 34:29
  Speaker 9: of this, and it's going to be difficult to, you know.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: And it's a state visit. It's quite a scene, too.
• 34:35
  Speaker 9: One of the top ones that people want to watch.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: And they work on it for weeks, obviously, as well.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Months in preparation for the policy stuff. So stand by.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: We'll see whether or not a judge issues some sort
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: of quick ruling or.
• 34:47
  Speaker 9: That ruling that they're looking for is on the hard passes,
• 34:50
  Speaker 9: which they were supposed to turn on this morning. It
• 34:52
  Speaker 9: hasn't happened yet. But even if that happens, the underlying
• 34:55
  Speaker 9: cause is still there. So I think there's a little
• 34:56
  Speaker 9: bit of unknown that remains.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: There you go, ladies and gentlemen. There's nothing holding them.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: There's nothing holding them back. Fox News can go in
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: there and they can do their jobs. And the reason
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: why is Fox News up until now has not been
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: broadcasting fake news about the president. But again, this goes
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: back to a very simple truth. I am literally one
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: of the few broadcasters that is actually understanding what the
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Constitution says here, which is why, ladies and gentlemen, you
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: listen to this program. The fact of the matter is
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: that the president is under no obligation, constitutionally speaking, to
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: allow these reporters, or any reporters for that matter, into
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: the White House. So if this is how the reporting
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: in the White House press corps is going to behave,
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: if I were Trump, I would shut it down. I
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: would have padlocked the press briefing room, make them sit
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: out in the hallway, make them stand outside. Makes no
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: difference to me. And let me ask you, are you
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: really better off? Are you more well-informed with this White
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: House press corps? Are you really, ladies and gentlemen? I
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: don't think we are. So anyway, I hope the president
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: plays hardball. I know he's probably getting a lot of
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: blowback from inside his inner circle, whoever those people are now.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: But the reality of it is this president did the
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: right thing. and hopefully this will change behavior. It's unlikely,
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: but if nothing else, the president doesn't have to worry
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: about eyebrows Collins screaming at him all day. All right,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: got to take a break. 901-260-5926. What do you think here?
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Should the president continue the ban, or should the president
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: let him in?
• 36:51
  Speaker 16: 901-260-5926.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Stern Show.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: From Memphis, Tennessee, it's Common Sense Conservative Commentary from Todd Starr.
• 37:27
  Speaker 17: That's us.
• 37:27
  Speaker 16: That's right.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: All right, a little update here. MSNOW, CNN, and Politico
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: have now regained access to the White House. This is
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: coming from the reporting of Mediaite. All of that happening
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: this morning, a court order shot down President Trump's ban
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: on all three of the anti-Trump propaganda networks. And so now, apparently,
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: the reporters are being allowed back in. If I were Trump,
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: you know what I would do now? I would ban
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Fox News. I'd kick their butts out. But that's not
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: going to happen. So there you have it. We'll see
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: how all this plays out. Have they learned their lesson? No,
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: of course not. And, again, if I'm President Trump and
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: I'm kicking these people out, then why are we going
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: back on that? Again, just kick them out, Mr. President.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: They're not going to give you any fair and balanced coverage.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: But if nothing else, I think people now understand just
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: how liberal the news side of Fox News Channel really is.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: I think maybe that's the news nugget. out of all
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: of this. Welcome back. Hour two of the big show.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: Great to have you with us. Our telephone number, 901-260-5926.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: That's 901-260-5926. Now, yesterday, up on Capitol Hill, there was
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: a big hearing about And the whole point of this
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: was to, again, address this issue of men and women's
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: sports and protecting women against these transgender activists that are
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: out there. And not a single Democrat, not a single
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Democrat bothered to show up for this hearing. In the meantime,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: there is a new study that's out that found that
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: trans-identifying males have stolen more than, well, nearly 2,300 gold
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: medals from women and girls in the United States. Here
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: to help us understand more about their findings is Hannah Lape,
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: a legislative strategist with Concerned Women for America. Hannah, good
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: to see you. I mean, that's a really shocking— I didn't
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: realize it was that high.
• 40:00
  Speaker 7: $ 23.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: 93, that's the number of gold medals.
• 40:04
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 40:04
  Speaker 17: Well, thanks for having me, Todd. And it certainly is
• 40:06
  Speaker 17: a large number for something that, quote-unquote, isn't happening. So
• 40:09
  Speaker 17: thanks for having me on the show.
• 40:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: So again, we're talking about trans-identifying males. Tell us how
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: you guys came up with this number.
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 40:20
  Speaker 17: So last year was the first time that we released
• 40:22
  Speaker 17: a study like this, and we found a cumulative number
• 40:25
  Speaker 17: of 1,941 gold medals stolen from women and girls in
• 40:30
  Speaker 17: their sports categories in all time in the United States.
• 40:33
  Speaker 17: And this year, we decided to Re-up that study and
• 40:36
  Speaker 17: do it again. And we found that there was over
• 40:39
  Speaker 17: 300 medals added to that number. So now we're at
• 40:44
  Speaker 17: 2,293 gold medals stolen by trans-identifying males in women and
• 40:48
  Speaker 17: girls sports. And in California alone, that number is 611.
• 40:52
  Speaker 17: So for every single medal that was stolen, every gold medal,
• 40:55
  Speaker 17: that also means that a second place and a third
• 40:58
  Speaker 17: place and a fourth place and a roster spot was
• 41:00
  Speaker 17: stolen all the way down. So this is an alarmingly
• 41:03
  Speaker 17: high number. You know, you see the pictures of large
• 41:06
  Speaker 17: male athletes at the top of women's podiums and it's
• 41:09
  Speaker 17: devastating to see but it can be written off by
• 41:11
  Speaker 17: the left as a one-time situation or just a photo
• 41:14
  Speaker 17: op that looks bad but this really is something that
• 41:16
  Speaker 17: is happening in large numbers even more than those compelling
• 41:20
  Speaker 17: anecdotal stories that we're seeing come out like on Capitol
• 41:22
  Speaker 17: Hill yesterday.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Have you guys been able to determine exactly how many
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: trans identifying males have actually competed in female sporting events.
• 41:33
  Speaker 17: So we do know that there were 14,301 activities, so
• 41:37
  Speaker 17: events that those male athletes competed in, so whether it
• 41:40
  Speaker 17: be a race or a game. But we do know
• 41:42
  Speaker 17: that within this data set, there were repeat male athletes.
• 41:46
  Speaker 17: So a trans-identifying athlete, say, there was one example of
• 41:50
  Speaker 17: one disc golfer that took over $ 86, 000 in prize money
• 41:53
  Speaker 17: over four or five years in women's disc golf and
• 41:59
  Speaker 17: was repeatedly stealing. So these numbers of gold medals include
• 42:05
  Speaker 17: each and every single time a woman was taken away
• 42:09
  Speaker 17: from the opportunity that she deserved, even if it meant
• 42:11
  Speaker 17: that it was a repeat male athlete. So we do
• 42:13
  Speaker 17: see that in the data set as well.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: So there's been a big push over the Protection of
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025. What is
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: the status of that legislation right now in Congress?
• 42:28
  Speaker 17: So that piece of legislation passed the House of Representatives
• 42:31
  Speaker 17: last year. Praise God, that was a fantastic victory, but
• 42:34
  Speaker 17: it is stalled in the Senate. So the Senate, we
• 42:37
  Speaker 17: are waiting for the Senate to take up that bill
• 42:39
  Speaker 17: and to pass it to get it across the finish line,
• 42:40
  Speaker 17: because this really is a 90-10 issue. And if we
• 42:43
  Speaker 17: could get our K-12 schools that are federally funded held
• 42:46
  Speaker 17: accountable for allowing men to compete and boys to compete
• 42:49
  Speaker 17: in girls' categories, that's a fantastic next step. And that
• 42:52
  Speaker 17: is certainly an election issue that can deliver a huge
• 42:56
  Speaker 17: win to conservatives and to women athletes across the country.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Do we know what the holdup is in the Senate
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: on this?
• 43:03
  Speaker 17: I assume it has something to do with procedure. So
• 43:05
  Speaker 17: as far as cloture votes and filibusters, the Democrats are
• 43:09
  Speaker 17: fantastic at standing against anything.
• 43:11
  Speaker 13: That's common sense.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: What about Republicans? We have all the Republicans on board
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: in the Senate on this?
• 43:19
  Speaker 17: Yes, this is an issue that unites Republicans, that Republicans
• 43:22
  Speaker 17: are winning on. I'd like to see maybe some harder
• 43:26
  Speaker 17: pushes for this to come back up. I know there's
• 43:28
  Speaker 17: a lot on the agenda towards the end of the year,
• 43:30
  Speaker 17: but this should be something that Republicans are really focusing on.
• 43:33
  Speaker 13: But at the end of the day, it is going
• 43:34
  Speaker 13: to be the.
• 43:34
  Speaker 17: Democrats that really are putting up opposition that is unfathomable,
• 43:39
  Speaker 17: considering this is really a 90-10 issue with the American public.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: I understand you guys have done some polling there at CWA,
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: and I'm just curious, what sort of a role is
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: that issue going to play in the midterm elections?
• 43:56
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 43:56
  Speaker 17: I mean, the last time we had an election, we
• 43:58
  Speaker 17: did exit polling. We found that 73 percent of voters
• 44:00
  Speaker 17: found that the women's sports issue was compelling in getting
• 44:04
  Speaker 17: them to the polls and voting. And we backed that
• 44:06
  Speaker 17: up with another poll last month saying that around the
• 44:09
  Speaker 17: same number, so almost 75% of Americans are very motivated
• 44:15
  Speaker 17: by the issue of women's sports, that they strongly believe
• 44:18
  Speaker 17: that trans-identifying males should not be allowed to compete in
• 44:22
  Speaker 17: women's athletics. And another note that I will make, we
• 44:25
  Speaker 17: have had a fantastic administration. The Trump administration has done
• 44:28
  Speaker 17: so much in championing women's sports and having executive orders.
• 44:32
  Speaker 17: But the fact that we have 300 more medals means
• 44:35
  Speaker 17: that Congress needs to step in and codify those executive
• 44:37
  Speaker 17: orders and make sure that we have lasting change.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: Well, no, which again is why I'm asking about the Senate,
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: because again, the Republicans do have the majorities in both
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: the House and the Senate. If they're able to get
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: it through the House, what's the holdup there in the Senate?
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: And is this something that the majority leader is really
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: going to champion?
• 44:58
  Speaker 17: I think he does champion that. The Senate is a
• 45:00
  Speaker 17: difficult body. Obviously, we have the filibuster and cloture that
• 45:03
  Speaker 17: means that we have to have 60 vote threshold for
• 45:06
  Speaker 17: anything that a Democrat is going to oppose. So that
• 45:09
  Speaker 17: is a large hurdle. But I do think if we
• 45:11
  Speaker 17: were to press the issue and get a conversation going,
• 45:14
  Speaker 17: we've really seen even the hearing yesterday, Democrats have no
• 45:17
  Speaker 17: talking points. They know they're wrong on this issue. So
• 45:19
  Speaker 17: I do think if we brought this to the floor,
• 45:21
  Speaker 17: maybe we could force the Democrats' hands and make them,
• 45:26
  Speaker 17: you know, come to the American public with their extremely
• 45:28
  Speaker 17: unpopular views. But it is a very difficult thing in
• 45:31
  Speaker 17: the Senate. But I'm here. If the Senate wants to
• 45:34
  Speaker 17: take it up, I'm here all the way to support
• 45:35
  Speaker 17: the Republican Party and the leader there.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, Hannah, we appreciate the update. And again,
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, it goes right back to what we
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: were talking about, 700 pieces of legislation passed by the
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: House waiting for approval in the Senate. This is one
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: of them. Hannah Lape from Concerned Women for America. Folks,
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: we've got to protect girls in sports. I mean, it
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: really is that simple. And again, they have not passed
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: the Women and Girls Sports Act because of the Senate
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: 60-vote cloture threshold. So there you have it.
• 46:12
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: We've got to take a quick break here. 901-260-5926 is
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. This segment of the Todd
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: Stern Show brought to you by our friends at Newsmax,
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: Rob Finnerty on Newsmax, revealing the growing threat of DSA
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: and the radical left, gas prices, mortgage rates, health care,
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: all these things on the agenda in the midterm elections,
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: out of control national debt. Americans are angry and the
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: progressive left wants total control of Congress. So Rob Fenerty
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: has been dedicating his program to revealing President Trump's secret
• 46:53

  Speaker 2: It just takes a few minutes. Newsmax, it's real news
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: for real people. All right, let's go to the phones here. 901-260-5926,
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: Little Rock, Arkansas. Steve is on the line, wants to
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: weigh in on the White House press score. Hi, Steve.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: What's going on?
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: I have a suggestion for how President Trump should handle
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: the press. Since they decided to make an issue out
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: of this, I could put a case together that the
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: press should be barred from the White House based on
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: an international emergency and based on national security just from
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: the fact of the matter of how they have reported
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: on this iran war and the the dishonest negative reporting
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: let's take a look at what's really going on in
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: iran we've got a casualty rate lower than the military's
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: actual operating casual rate just from accidents we have uh
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: Have you seen any gas shortages? Have you been anywhere
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: that you couldn't put gas in your car, Todd?
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't think the issue is shortages, Steve. I
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: think the issue is how much that gas is.
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: The issue is gas is priced based on speculation of
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: supply and demand. Who has the biggest effect on that
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: speculation right now?
• 48:47
  Speaker 7: The media?
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: The media does. I think there should be a RICO
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: investigation into, is there some kind of contact between the
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: media and the market people on Wall Street that are
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: buying and trading in these crude oil futures? Because if
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: there's speculation going on there, do you know what kind
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: of opportunity that is to stuff money into oil companies'
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: pockets and speculators' and market people's pockets? Oh, by the way,
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: look at the profits of the oil companies. I can
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: make a case that I can lay more blame on
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: the media for our gas prices than I lay on
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: President Trump.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: All right, Steve. No, you made your point there. We'll
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: see if folks agree or disagree, but thank you for
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: calling in today. 901-260-5926. You know, they do that. I
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: think the weather forecasters do that for the snowstorms and hurricanes.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: They've got the toilet paper, bread, and milk industries in
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: their back pockets. Oh, by the way, speaking of that,
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: we have a huge, huge bit of news. I nearly
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: forgot about this. I received a text message from our
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: good buddy Jeff Stein over at radio station KXEL, the
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: blowtorch in corn country. And Jeff was at a big
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: event yesterday. He phoned. As a matter of fact, he
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: was going into the event when we had him call
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: into the show to talk about Iowa politics. And I'm
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: glad we called him before the big event. But Jeff Stein,
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, from radio station KXEL, our affiliate in Waterloo,
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is the 2026 winner of the Celebrity
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: Cow Milking Championship. So, Noah, it's a beautiful, like, two-tier
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: or three-tier trophy that has a gold cow on the
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: very top. So congratulations to Jeff Stein there with honors,
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: big honors, coming out of whatever the cattle convention was
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: there in Waterloo, Iowa. You know, Dylan, I told Jeff
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: Stein he needs to milk this for all it's worth.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: That's pretty good. Pretty good wordplay there. Yeah, pretty good wordplay.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: But this is really utterly amazing. Well done. Well done,
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: Jeff Stein.
• 51:21
  Speaker 14: All right.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: Interesting story out of Florida. So a kid gets bullied
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: on the bus. A 16-year-old gets bullied by these two 14-year-olds.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: And the 14-year-olds are like 6'1. They're like the size
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: of grown men. Big, big kids. And so the kid
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: goes home and tells his dad that he got bullied.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: The dad decides to go into action. I want you
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: to listen to Cut 44 Pull.
• 51:51
  Speaker 18: This is the video showing a 14-year-old and 16-year-old, along
• 51:56
  Speaker 18: with who we're told is a parent to a student.
• 51:58
  Speaker 18: Seconds in, and a gun is drawn. RJ and Trevor
• 52:04
  Speaker 18: are the two teens seen in the video. RJ tells
• 52:07
  Speaker 18: me it started with a fight between him and the
• 52:09
  Speaker 18: man's son.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: So I got off the bus, then.
• 52:12
  Speaker 16: We drop our backpacks.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: We're about to fight.
• 52:14
  Speaker 16: So then he tells the dad, like, you know, let
• 52:16
  Speaker 16: them fight.
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: Don't touch them.
• 52:17
  Speaker 7: Don't do none of that.
• 52:18
  Speaker 6: And the next thing you know, he put his son
• 52:20
  Speaker 6: behind him. He pulled a gun out on us.
• 52:22
  Speaker 18: The 14- and 16-year-olds say they put their hands up
• 52:25
  Speaker 18: and froze.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: It's life or death right now. You know, it's a gun.
• 52:29
  Speaker 16: So I'm backing up. I can't process anything. I'm just like,
• 52:32
  Speaker 16: am I going to make it home?
• 52:34
  Speaker 18: Martin County Sheriff John Boone-Seek says no criminal charges were
• 52:37
  Speaker 18: filed in this case.
• 52:38
  Speaker 6: He's legally allowed to stand his ground.
• 52:40
  Speaker 18: The sheriff says the whole incident began when the man's
• 52:42
  Speaker 18: son reported being bullied. The next day, the sheriff says
• 52:45
  Speaker 18: the father drove his son to the bus stop.
• 52:47
  Speaker 6: The dad started talking again to the bus driver, at
• 52:50
  Speaker 6: which point the 14-year-old took it upon himself to get
• 52:53
  Speaker 6: off the bus and confront the dad.
• 52:55
  Speaker 18: The sheriff tells us things only got more heated from there.
• 52:58
  Speaker 6: And they got all the way up on him. before
• 53:01
  Speaker 6: he pulled out a concealed weapon and told them to
• 53:03
  Speaker 6: get back, which he's legally allowed to do.
• 53:05
  Speaker 18: Now looking back, RJ says he takes accountability for reacting
• 53:08
  Speaker 18: how he did. However, he disagrees with how it was handled.
• 53:12
  Speaker 16: I feel like under any circumstance, however you felt, no
• 53:15
  Speaker 16: firearms should be displayed at a bus stop where there's
• 53:18
  Speaker 16: a bunch of kids on a bus looking forward to
• 53:20
  Speaker 16: going to school.
• 53:21
  Speaker 15: Following concerns from parents, we asked the Martin County School
• 53:23
  Speaker 15: District if the bus driver followed protocol when handling the
• 53:27
  Speaker 15: incident and were told the driver responded appropriately and promptly
• 53:31
  Speaker 15: requested assistance. The sheriff says the father is now pulling
• 53:34
  Speaker 15: his son out of school to homeschool him.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: So now the little thugs are claiming this is racism. Racism.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: Because Dylan, as you heard the young man say so eloquently,
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: We were just looking forward to going to school. Yeah,
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: I don't buy that. So here's the back story. The
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: day before, the 16-year-old had a pizza. And the 214
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: was like, yo, man, give me your pizza. I want
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: your pizza. And so the guy declined to give him
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: the pizza. So they commenced to beating the living daylights
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: out of the kid. Kid tells his dad. Dad goes
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: to the bus stop the next morning. and is having
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: a conversation with a bus driver, and the two 14-year-olds
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: decide to come out and physically confront the dad who
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: draws his weapon. And the cop said, play stupid games,
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: you win stupid prizes. But there's nothing racist about this
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: at all. This is about a dad in Indiantown, Florida,
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: that's in Martin County, Florida, standing up and protecting his son,
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: and he is so smart to pull that kid out
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: of school and homeschool. because those are not— it' s just like
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: every time you've got a thug that gets shot or
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: has some sort of an interaction with police and he
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: gets shot, the pictures that come out always show the
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: thug dressed like he's going to Sunday school, right? When,
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: in fact, that's not what the thug really looks like. So, anyway,
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: good on this dad. And, by the way, good on
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: the sheriff's department as well. They went in, they investigated,
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: and they said, yeah, this guy did everything he was
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: supposed to do, and he did it correctly. And, by
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: the way, the dad could have pressed charges, and he
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: declined not to. The sheriff says we're going to arrest
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: those two 14-year-olds, but the dad said no. No, I
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: think they've learned their lesson.
• 55:31
  Speaker 11: All right, 901-260-5926.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: We just wanted to go to school. We love being educated.
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: We'll be right back. All right. Welcome back, everybody. This
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. I have to give
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: a huge shout out to our local high school chapter
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: of Turning Point USA in Collierville, Tennessee. The students here
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: invited me to speak to their gathering today. We had
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: about 25 or 30 kids that gathered, and KWAM Newsradio
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: provided breakfast for the young people. Great Chick-fil-A, Dylan. So
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: there was a lot of chicken biscuits and whatnot there.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: Not too shabby, actually. So anyway, we just had a
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: wonderful time. I got to hang out with the young people,
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: and we had a great conversation and great questions as well.
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: I am impressed. Anybody who gets up at 6—no, they
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: didn't get up at 6.15. The event started like 6.15, 6.30.
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: And just a terrific turnout. And the kids are really engaged.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: I had a question about the hearing yesterday on men
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: and girls sports and also about the election and the
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: upcoming midterm election. So these kids are engaged. I can't
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: say enough good things about the Turning Point USA chapter
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: there at ESPN. there at Collierville High School. So thank
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: you so much. Tonight, I will be emceeing an incredible event.
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: It's an annual gala that is sponsored by Confidential Care,
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: which is a wonderful ministry. And they come alongside women
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: who are single, they are pregnant, and they're many times
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: going through pregnancies by themselves. And Confidential Care steps up
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: and stands alongside these moms and helps them out, helps
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: them find jobs, and helps provide resources so they can
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: get back on their feet. And it's just a wonderful ministry.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: The chaplain for the Dallas Cowboys football team is going
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: to be the keynote speaker tonight. And so a busy
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: day here on the show. So anyway, I want to
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: say thank you to all of you folks that are
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: supporting us. those great ministries. I want to go back
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: to what's happening here at the White House, where now
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: apparently credentials have been reissued for CNN, Politico, and PMS now.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: But now the news agencies are demanding more. So they're
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: demanding that full access be restored. And again, I will
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: say this, You know, even if the courts ultimately decide
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: that President Trump has to let these people back in
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: the White House, he is under no constitutional obligation to
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: acknowledge their presence, take their questions, answer their questions, give
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: them front row seats, give them premier office space. They're
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: not required to do any of that stuff. So if
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: they want to play this game, my recommendation to the
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: administration is play it and make these reporters suffer for
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: what they have done to this president and his family
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: and conservatives across America. Because keep in mind, this is
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: not just about President Trump anymore. This is about all
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: of us. And if you remember back when Trump was
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: running for office the first go-around, he nailed it. He
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: understood the lay of the land. Trump knew that ultimately
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: they were going after him, talking about the media. They
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: were going after Trump because they could not go after us.
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: So Trump stood in between us and these evil people
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: in the media. And these people are evil. What they
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: have done is evil. Shame on them. And the Fox
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: News Channel newsroom, honestly, they are the most egregious because
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: they should know better, but they're not. They're actually worse
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: than CNN and PMS now. And let me just say
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: this about the news side of Fox News Channel. They
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: don't make any money at all. As a matter of fact,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: had it not been for primetime and Fox and Friends,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: they'd have to lay people off. I mean, that's how
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: bad it is. I know many people that will turn
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: off a lot of the shows because they know that
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: some of these anchors just ooze. Their liberalism just oozes
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: from them. It's a very distinct odor. So there you go. 901-260-5926,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. I want to play some
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: audio here. We're talking about We're talking about the violence
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: that the left has been fomenting. And there was a
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: college kid, this happened at the University of Missouri, and
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: a college kid showed up at a TPSA event yesterday
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: wearing a Freedom t-shirt, a white Freedom t-shirt that was
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: covered in blood. This guy openly mocking Charlie Kirk. Take
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: a listen to Cut 36.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 19: It is worth it to have a couple gun deaths
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 19: every couple years in order to keep our Second Amendment right.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 8: I agree.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 13: Excellent. That's all I had to say.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 18: That's what Charlie Kirk thought.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 19: Too, and he died by his word.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know what?
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 17: What's brave is when people believe something and they die
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 17: for it, and they wouldn't have changed their opinion.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: That's called a conviction, and I pray that you find.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 8: Out what that means one day.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 19: No, I agree, and I think that it's great that
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 19: he died for his beliefs.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 17: So you are four people being killed for freedom of speech.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 4: I think that's completely un-American. That's insane, actually.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 19: Okay, so you're four people being killed for the Second
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 19: Amendment right.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 17: The Second Amendment doesn't kill anybody.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 13: Murderous people kill people.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 18: Okay.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: Whatever it is.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 13: Have your guns ever killed anyone?
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 19: Have my guns ever killed anyone?
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 7: No.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 13: Guns don't kill people.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 4: Murderers kill people. I haven't killed anyone.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 19: That's a weird-ass argument, bro.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 7: No.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 13: A gun cannot kill someone by itself. It needs an operator.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 13: That's not what we're talking about.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 10: You did.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 13: You said the Second Amendment kills people. The Second Amendment
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 13: has never killed anyone, but murderers have killed people.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 17: I'm saying, Charlie, die for his belief in the Second Amendment.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 11: You can't listen. Charlie died for way more reasons than
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 11: his Second Amendment belief.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 13: That was crazy.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: You used your opportunity for that?
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 12: That's sad.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 13: Hey, let's not clap, actually.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: So next person, thank you so much. Okay. Well, first
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: of all, hold on just a second. I want to
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: address this. TPUSA has got to do a better job
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: of dealing with these kinds of situations. I get it
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: that they're trying. I understand what they're trying to do.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: It's not working. But can we talk about this demonic
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: kid here? My concern is we've got a lot of
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: these kinds of individuals walking around college campuses. And I
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: would be willing to say probably hundreds, if not thousands,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: who believe what this kid believed. He said that he
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: thinks it's great that Charlie Kirk died for his belief
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: that it's okay to assassinate somebody for the First Amendment.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, this is right out of the communist playbook.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: Going back to, again, Hassan Piker, this is just really
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: a snapshot of what America really is right now. When
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: you talk about the Democrats, you're talking– and by the way,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: every Democrat out there embracing Hassan Piker. Cut 35.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 11: I will throw you in prison. OK, I want to
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 11: put you physically behind a prison. I want Chinese style
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 11: communism to happen inside of the Democratic Party right now. OK,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 11: I want to do cultural revolution when I see that.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he does. And by the way, it's to the Democrats.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: So they've opened up a can of worms and they're
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: about to find out that we're going to be in
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: the same gulags together. By the way, here's a St.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: Louis alderwoman. This is you folks in Missouri, Sharon Tyus,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: a Democrat, threatening a fellow lawmaker, cut 47.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 20: Okay, I'm not doing it. So anybody can go do it.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 20: Bring his butt on. This is why he don't need
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 20: to be on the board. I didn't flip.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 13: Burgers before I came down here.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 20: He was a state rep because I made him a
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 20: state rep. Because he didn't have the nomination and I
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 20: called somebody and gave it to him. He repaid that
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 20: by then stabbing me in the back and taking my seniority.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 20: Then talking about he want to join the Black Caucus.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 20: If you was in my Black Caucus, you would be
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 20: the first person I would put a bullet in your
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 20: head because you are not trustworthy, okay?
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: Put a bullet in your head, okay. Folks, they're signaling
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: to you exactly who they are, and they really do
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: believe that they should be able to use violence to
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: shut down anybody they disagree with. So my question is,
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: where are they getting these ideas? Is this coming from
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: their home? Is this coming from mommy and daddy? Or
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: is this coming from a radicalized education system? Or maybe both?
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: Maybe both. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. Ladies
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen, many of you are going to be already
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: getting ready for Christmas shopping. You're trying to find something
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: to get that loved one in your life. May I
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: recommend a copy of The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: It's an absolutely beautiful book cover. There's a lot of fun,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: a lot of humor in the book, and it makes
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: a wonderful gift for a conservative loved one. Or if
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: you're trying to convert a liberal in your family, you're
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: going to want to get a copy of The Golden Age.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: It does make a great stocking stuffer, too. The Golden Age,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: How Trump Saved America. You can get a copy right
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: now at your favorite bookstore. You can also order one
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: online at Amazon or Barnes & Noble. We'll be right back, America.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: All right. Welcome back, everybody. This is the Tom Stearns
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: Radio Show. I want to play some audio here. This
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: is a lady preacher, a preacherette. Her name is, well,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to get into her name. We're not
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: going to share her name. But she identifies as an
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: Episcopalian priestess. Is that the lady priest? Is that what
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: they call them? Anyway, she says that Mary assigned Jesus
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: male at birth. So she's alleging, this Episcopal lady preacherette
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: is alleging that Jesus is transgender. Take a listen to
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: Cut 39.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 21: God is non-binary. God is non-binary, but I'm going to
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 21: go further than that. And I'm going to say God
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 21: is actually also trans. And now let's get on the
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 21: same page here. When we trans people are born, folks
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 21: assign us a gender based on what they see. Then
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 21: when we're old enough, we realize that that wasn't right.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 21: And we're not, in our deepest selves, the gender that
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 21: everybody thought we were.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: Right? Right?
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 21: Reasonable working definition of a trans person, yeah? Okay, good.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 21: All right, here's why God is trans. When God, who
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 21: as we have established, is non-binary, was born in human
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 21: form as our Lord Jesus Christ, Mary said, oh look,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 21: a baby boy. God isn't a boy. We have established this.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 21: God is beyond boy and girl. God was assigned a
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 21: gender at birth, and later on it became clear that
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 21: that gender wasn't quite right. So if you're going to
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 21: deny God is trans, I think you're going to be
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 21: denying the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and I
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 21: have some notes about that. When I say that later
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 21: on it became clear gender wasn't quite right, I mean it.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 21: We already know Jesus didn't live life exactly the way
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 21: your average first century Judean man did, right? To the
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 21: best of our knowledge, he didn't get married. We don't
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 21: know for sure. He chose to teach and to engage
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 21: with women in ways that were very unusual, that were
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 21: not the traditionally masculine way that people might be behaving
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 21: with each other. And then Jesus died. And Jesus was resurrected.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 21: And when Jesus was resurrected... Jesus was different.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 19: Jesus.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 21: Didn't look like himself. There was something different about Jesus.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 21: And now, I will admit the Bible does not tell
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 21: us what that is. So if anybody says they do
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 21: know what that is, they are also not telling the truth.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 21: And I have some notes for them. The Bible doesn't
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 21: tell us why it is that Jesus' best friends, his disciples,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 21: the people who had walked with him to the end
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 21: of his life, the people who buried him in the
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 21: tomb when it was politically difficult, who were committed to him,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 21: still didn't recognize Jesus for a good long time. Now,
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 21: I don't know for sure. I wasn't there. But based
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 21: on everything else I know about God... I have an idea.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 21: I think Jesus was resurrected as Jesus' true self, which
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 21: is beyond male or female. I think Jesus was not
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 21: only transfigured. I think Jesus transitioned.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: Okay. We've got to stop it there. So let me
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: just explain what we just heard here. That, ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: is what we call blasphemy. And this is blasphemy against
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit, which, may I just tell you, is
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: an unforgivable sin. This woman right here that you just heard,
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: this lady preacher, this preacherette, she has just blasphemed her
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: way to the gates of hell. So the Bible is
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: very specific about just one sin that is unforgivable, and
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: it is exactly what this woman just said. So this
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: is not some sort of just a random thing. This
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: is a very deliberate, determined rejection of the truth about
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. That's what we just heard. That is a
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: very dangerous thing. that this woman just did. She committed blasphemy.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: But again, this is something that is happening within the
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: body of Christ. Now, there's a brand-new study that just
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: came out from Lifeway Christian Resources, and it says, according
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: to the survey, that more young Americans are now beginning
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: to deny the teachings in Scripture. Scary thing. By the way,
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: I did a little bit of research last night with
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: a great website called MyFaithAssistant.com. This is run by our
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: good friend Dr. Michael Youssef, and you can actually go
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: online and ask questions, faith questions. And so I just
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: typed in. I was curious what Dr. Youssef had to
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: say about this. It's God non-binary. And the answer is
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: absolutely not. As a matter of fact, Scripture does reveal
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: that God is personal and relational. Man was made in
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: God's image. Throughout Holy Scripture, God is referred to using
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: masculine pronouns. He's referred to as the Father. So there
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: you go, ladies and gentlemen. Again, these lies that are
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: coming out of these radical left-wing churches, and again, this
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: was an Episcopal church. I mean, you Episcopalians, what the
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: heck is going on over there, for crying out loud?
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: But now you understand, and it's not, by the way,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: this is not just like high church you know, in
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: the Northeast or in California. This is happening in places
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: like Texas. And we played some audio yesterday from James Talofrico,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: and one of his, was it the lesbian preacher at
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: Talofrico's church, who is just as blasphemous. This is very,
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: very dangerous stuff that we're dealing with here. James Talofrico's
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: pastor said Jesus did not die for our sins, and
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: then slandered Mary, Jesus's mother. So, ladies and gentlemen, I
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: want to caution you, and especially those of you who
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: claim to be followers of Christ, you better be careful,
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: because there is an unforgivable sin, and you just heard
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: that in real time. Unbelievable what's happening out there. Ladies
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen, again, we are dealing with a spiritual battle.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: There are great demons at play here, and we need
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: to make sure that we are in the church, we
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: are in the word, we are praying, and we are
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: focused not on politics, but focus our eyes on Almighty God.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: That's what we've got to do. All right, hang tight, everybody.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: Hour three of the big show coming up, 901-260-5926. This
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: is the Todd Stern Show.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: From Memphis, Tennessee. On the banks of the mighty Mississippi.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: It's America's conservative blowtorch.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: That's us, that's right.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 5: Our love is American right.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: Todd Starnes.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: All right. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starrs Radio Show.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: That was interesting. So the Speaker of the House just called.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: So a lot of folks up on Capitol Hill are
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: apparently really paying attention. I'll just leave it at that.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: Paying attention to what I wrote on X earlier this morning.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: And I want to be clear about something here. The
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: House of Representatives has done its job. They have done
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: everything they were supposed to do. As a matter of fact, what,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: three times, four times, they moved the Save America Act through.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: So Speaker Johnson and the Republican leadership in the House,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: they do deserve our thanks and our credit. But the
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: rest of them, we got problems, big problems. And as
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: I said, it is time for whoever the advisors are
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: in the White House, it's time for RNC headquarters, everybody,
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: it is time for a come-to-Jesus moment so that we
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: can save the republic from the communists. I mean, it
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: really is that simple. And again, when you decide, and
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: my phone's been blowing up, so a lot of people
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: are really upset about what I wrote. And I'd say
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: that's good. That is good because we want them to
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: do better, ladies and gentlemen. That's what this is about,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: doing better and delivering on the promises. And the majority leader,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: and I get it, they've got to have the 60-vote threshold.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: I get that. But at the end of the day,
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: at the end of the day, they've got to campaign
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: on what they have done. And right now, the only
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: people who can legitimately do that are members of the
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: House of Representatives. It's true. All right, 901-260-5926 is our
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. Now, I mentioned in the last hour,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: early this morning, early this morning, I had a chance
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: to speak to the Turning Point USA chapter at Collierville
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: High School. By the way, heading down to Ole Miss,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: and I'll be speaking to their group in a couple
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: of weeks. The issue of socialism came up, and I
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: was really intrigued by a story that That was published
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: on Campus Reform, a great website. And the correspondent, Campus
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: Reform correspondent Gregory Lyakoff, joins us for the first time
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: here on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Gregory, good to
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: have you with us. And really curious about this survey
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: among Gen Zers and the popularity of socialism. What did
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: you guys discover?
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 19: Yeah, look, socialism among Gen Z is becoming more and
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 19: more popular, and it's a big concern. Look, it starts
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 19: at college campuses. That's really what campus reform has been
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 19: covering for about a decade now, where college campuses, as
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 19: the Leadership Institute's campus reform recently covered, are becoming openly Marxist. Look,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 19: the University of Utah... Their economics department, by their own
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 19: student newspaper, is called a center for Marxist thought. What
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 19: can we expect students to believe when economics departments across
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 19: college campuses across the country are literally becoming centers of
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 19: Marxist thought?
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering, Gregory, when you see what happened yesterday in Missouri,
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: the student at this TPOSA gathering and one of the
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: liberal kids said, yeah, you know what? It's okay. It's
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: okay that somebody gets assassinated for the First Amendment. 33%
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: of Democrats now believe that they would be okay if
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: President Trump got assassinated. Is that coming out of this
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: socialism and this ideology on campus?
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 13: Look, of course it is.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 19: Look, a new fire survey that Campus Reform recently covered
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 19: showed that 34% of college students believe that violent actions
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 19: are sometimes okay to take against speakers that they disagree with.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 19: That is ridiculous. 34%, more than one third of college
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 19: students believe that. 70% believe that boycotting speakers or shutting
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 19: them down is okay on college campuses. We have college
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 19: campuses across the country turning into indoctrination chambers where one
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 19: side is being condemned and not being allowed to speak.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 19: It's usually almost always conservatives. while the liberals across college
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 19: campuses indoctrinate students. So it is coming out of college campuses,
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 19: then those people come into the real world, and we
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 19: just saw what happens.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: Gregory, I'm curious, when you look at the rise of socialism,
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: is this something that you think is intentional? Is this organic?
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: What have you guys discovered?
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 19: Look, it started on college campuses years ago when college
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 19: campuses teach the voter base that socialism is an acceptable solution,
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 19: that capitalism, which built America. is fundamentally opposed to equality,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 19: that capitalism is protecting the oppressors, and that the oppressed
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 19: need socialism to protect them, then of course we're going
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 19: to see more and more voters come out in support
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 19: of socialism. That is what we have seen. The college
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 19: students that have been taught years ago are now in
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 19: the real world, are now voting, and are now encouraging
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 19: others to vote. So this has started on college campuses,
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 19: it's continuing on college campuses, And until we fix it,
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 19: until we fix the educational bodies that are influencing the vote,
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 19: we're not going to see any of this change.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: You know, I think it's interesting, and you make a
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: good point here, because it just seems to me, and
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: correct me if I'm wrong here, it seems to me
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: as if there has been an effort in the media,
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: within the Democrat Party, and now at the academic level
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: to almost dehumanize conservatives.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 6: Of course.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 19: Look, conservatives have been painted as fascists. We have at
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 19: Campus Reform covered a story recently where there were flyers
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 19: hanging that said dead ICE agents are okay. Dead ICE
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 19: agents can't arrest immigrants. So when you're advocating for killing
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 19: federal officers... of course that is going to demonize conservatives.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 19: When you call conservatives fascists, Nazis, whatsoever, when you are
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 19: accepting people's deaths like Charlie Kirk's and calling that a
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 19: proper action against them, then we are going to see
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 19: conservatives demonized. We're going to see a generation grow up
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 19: to view conservatives as fascists, as Nazis, and they're going
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 19: to take action into their own hands.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: The survey from FIRE said, they said only about a
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: third of college students support violent action to stop speech
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: on campus. Gregory, I think it's a lot higher than that,
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: and I think that number is only going to grow
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: unless we address what is happening inside many of these classrooms. Yeah,
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: of course, it.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 19: Will only continue to grow. But look, a third of
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 19: college students supporting violence on campus, this is ridiculous. This
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 19: should not be taking place in America where educational institutions
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 19: where colleges, universities are supposed to be centers where we
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 19: hear different perspectives, where different perspectives are encouraged, where we
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 19: have debates across campuses, not indoctrination chambers. And that is
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 19: unfortunately what we have seen college campuses become today.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: Gregory, I'm curious about yourself, why you decided to get
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: involved and speak out and talk about these kinds of issues.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 19: Look, what has become clear is that if you don't
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 19: stand up for what you believe in, no one is
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 19: going to do it for you and people are going
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 19: to shut you down. So the more people that stand up,
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 19: the more college students that stand up to speak out
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 19: against what's going on across universities across the country, the
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 19: better the situation will become. We can't have a situation
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 19: like we do right now for the rest of time
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 19: in America or else America itself is going to be
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 19: corrupted because We are educating a generation to view the
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 19: foundational ideals of our country as corrupt. And when the
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 19: foundational ideals of our country are corrupt, then our country
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 19: is going to be viewed by my generation as corrupt.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: All right. Gregory Lyakoff joining us from Campus Reform, a
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: terrific writer. And we're so glad that you're here with us.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: You know, again, we've got to figure out how do
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: we fix this? How do we stop the trend? Any
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: ideas on how we can stop this political violence?
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 19: Yeah, look, what really appeals to Gen Z, particularly about
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 19: socialism and about the Democrat Socialists of America, is that
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 19: these organizations have been very good at creating community centers
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 19: where students come together, discuss politics, discuss their interests, make friends.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 19: And what we have seen is that because of COVID,
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 19: for example, Students are chronically on social media, so they
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 19: are longing for some sort of return to normalcy where
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 19: they interact with one another again. That interaction is what
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 19: the Democrat Socialists of America are providing. That's why they
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 19: are so popular and so successful, because it is becoming
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 19: a trend among Gen Z to go to these events.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 19: Conservatives need to understand this and need to take action
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 19: among their party where we have events as well, where
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 19: we encourage people to interact face-to-face with other Conservatives. have
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 19: intellectual discourse and not necessarily create echo chambers like the
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 19: Democrat Socialists of America do, but actually have discourse among
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 19: campuses and, you know, for students to come up with
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 19: their own ideas.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: You know, it just, again, seems to me when you
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: really go and do a deep dive here, I wonder
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: if really the issue goes all the way back to
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: one side cherishes life, And the other side really has
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: little regard for life and going back to the pro-life movement.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: And because that's ultimately, I mean, for me, yeah, I'm
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: going to disagree with somebody.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 10: Fine.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: I don't want you dead. I don't wish you any
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: ill will. But that can't be said for a shocking
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: number of people on the other side of the political aisle.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 19: Look, of course, and college campuses have not always been
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 19: this way. We have seen that college students, graduates among
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 19: colleges in the 1990s, for example, they actually leaned Republican
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 19: in their voting. In the 2000s is when that shifted,
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 19: when college graduates became more liberal. And the reasoning for
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 19: this is simply because colleges have become indoctrination chambers. When
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 19: one point of view is painted as dangerous, as morally
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 19: corrupt to society, then the entire society is going to
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 19: believe that and, you know, they're going to fight against it.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 19: We need to change this. We can't demonize one side
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 19: no matter how much we disagree with it.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, Gregory, where can people go if they
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: want to get more information about you, the stories you write?
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: Where can they do that?
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 19: Yeah, you can follow me directly at Gregory Lykov on
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 19: X and you can follow Campus Reform at campusreform.org. where
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 19: you can read the latest information across college campuses all
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 19: across the country.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 20: All right.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: Good stuff.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: And I appreciate you shining some light on this. We
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: all need to be talking about this. Gregory, thank you.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: Look forward to getting you back on soon.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 19: Thank you so much for having me on.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: All right. There you go. Gregory Lyakoff with Campus Reform.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: We've got to take a quick break here.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 7: 901-260-5926.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. All right,
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: Let's go right to our phone lines. We'll say hello
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: to Tom in Houston, Texas, listening to us on Patriot
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: Talk 920. Hey, Tom, what's on your mind today?
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 12: All right, I've been listening up. I hear you talking
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 12: about the Republicans and their blessed assurance bottoms. Okay, right
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 12: here in Texas, we just had... John Cornyn and Ken
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 12: Paxton in the primary.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 8: Yes, sir.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 12: The Republican National Committee spent over $ 100 million for Cornyn
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 12: and zero for Paxton in the primary. It's my opinion
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 12: there shouldn't be no money spent on primaries. You know,
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 12: that's where the people speak, and thank God that we
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 12: don't have Cornyn. And I'll take a moment to say
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 12: I'm so proud 14 years ago I block walked for
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 12: Ted Cruz against a man named David Dewhurst. And he
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 12: was the picture of the rhino. Good-looking, skinny, 50-plus years old, rich.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 12: And we got Cruz, and thank God we did. I'd
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 12: like to see Cruz, what do you call it, when
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 12: you clone, that's what I'm trying to say. Clone Cruz,
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 12: that's what I say. We need 435 of them. And
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 12: the Senate is a bunch of fools. They think that
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 12: they're big dogs. And, you know, no, you still work
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 12: for the people. The people are right out here. I'm
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 12: going to work right now. I'm the guy that works
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 12: second shift. And, you know, it's time to go work.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 12: And guess what? The government's going to take my money.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 12: And we're about ready to have our fill of that.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 12: And it's going to be like Thomas Jefferson said, every
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 12: 200 years. But what do you think about what I've
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 12: got going on here?
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 2: Well, look, I think it's an interesting thing. Going back
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: to the primaries, one of the things that– and I'm
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: curious to hear how our other listeners feel about what
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: I'm about to say. I just genuinely believe that when
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: it comes to these congressional races and state races, no
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: outside of the state money. So if you're going to
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: run for Congress in Texas, for example– then all of
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: your donors need to be coming out of Texas and
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: not California or or Washington, D.C. And I think that
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: might just possibly cut down on a lot of the
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: issues we have, especially on the Republican side, where our
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: elected leaders just don't know who to pledge their allegiance to.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: So ultimately, they get elected and they pledge their allegiance
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: to the big dollar donors from outside of the state.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: So I think we need to maybe have a long
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: conversation about campaign donations and campaign dollars and where those
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: are coming from. The other part of this, and I
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: understand why Cornyn is doing what he's doing, but it
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: also exposes Cornyn for who he really is. The fact
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: that he's not doing anything to help Ken Paxton win
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: that race. The fact that George W. Bush, the former president,
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: and Senator Cornyn are actually out there going around raising
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: money for other Senate candidates except for Ken Paxton. And that, again,
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: tells me that they're not truly Republican Party loyalists. Because
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: if you're not going to help out the guy in
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 2: your own state, what's the point?
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 12: Well, and my biggest thing is we need term limits.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 12: No ifs, ands, or buts. And the problem is the
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 12: people in charge of changing that law are in the
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 12: position of power. So we need a referendum of some sort.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you something, Tom. Tom, let me tell
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: you something. A couple of days ago, we had a
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: guy on the show. His name is Charlie Hatcher, former
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: Tennessee Ag Commissioner. He's running for Congress. And he defeated
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: Congressman Andy Ogles. And in Tennessee, this may be a
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: bad comparison, but in Tennessee, the establishment view Ogles the
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: same way the establishment view Paxton in Texas for different reasons.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 2: But anyway, Hatcher beat Ogles. And I asked him on
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 2: the show. A couple of things. We had a long conversation.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: But one of the questions that caught my attention, the
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: answer rather, I said, what was Ogle's biggest problem? And
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: he said it was fundraising. He could not raise money.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: And I pushed back and I said, well, it seems
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: to me it was constituent services. And he said, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, well,
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: that too. But ultimately, Hatcher spilled the beans that it
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 2: really is about raising money. It's really not about taking
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: care of the folks back home. And that's what's gotten
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: lost in all of this.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 12: Correct, correct. And the point that you make is straight on.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 12: But we, the people out here.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 12: We need to, and I'm saying it to Democrats and Republicans,
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 12: and thankfully, many of the minority communities that have licked
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 12: the boots of Democrats for the past 180 years are
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 12: finally starting to open their eyes. And we have, oh, Mr.,
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 12: the man who went to West Point, and so did
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 12: his brothers and sisters.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: Let me just say this, Tom, because we're coming up
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: on a break and we're going to have to ramp
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 2: this up. Again, I think at the end of the day,
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: you're right. We are going to have to look at
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: some issues. For example, term limits. the amount of money,
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: where this money is coming from. Because that is, I mean,
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: you're looking at big dollar money coming in, and ultimately
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: those lawmakers, they are bowing down and they're worshiping the
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: people that are cutting the big checks. That's what it's
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: all about. Tom, got to go. Thank you for the call. 901-260-5926,
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: our telephone number. We'll be right back. All right, welcome back,
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: Literally texting back and forth between me and the speaker,
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: and we're working through what I wrote on X earlier today.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: While all that's happening, you have Benjamin Netanyahu, and he
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: is tearing all of the leftists and the haters a
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: new one up at the United Nations. Meanwhile, President Trump
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: is giving President Xi of China... a personal tour of
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: the White House, and he's showing him the Biden auto
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: pen photo. Dylan, you may not know this, but there's
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: a beautiful portrait gallery in the White House of all
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 2: the presidents going all the way back to George Washington.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 2: But instead of Joe Biden's picture, there's a picture of
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: an auto pen. You know, I did know that. I'm
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 2: surprised that it's still up, but that's the funniest thing
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 2: that he's showing. It's great, but it's true. I want
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: to go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line, say hello
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 2: to our good friend Kyle Campbell. who is the host
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: of the Politically Basic podcast. Kyle, good to have you
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 2: with us today.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 19: Hey, Todd.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 13: How are you doing?
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 2: Good, good, good. It's been a busy day. We started
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 2: early this morning with the TPUSA kids speaking at their breakfast,
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: and then tonight I'll be emceeing a big event for
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 2: a confidential care ministry, which is a great ministry in Memphis.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 2: And they stand alongside pregnant moms, single moms who are
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 2: with child and help them through the whole process, getting
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 2: them jobs, work training, you know, skills, the whole nine yards.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 2: So it's been a fun day. It's going to be
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: a busy day, but it's a good day.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 13: I love that. I love hearing that. You're doing a lot.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 13: You're a busy man.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 2: They keep me busy. Yes.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: And, of course, next week, heading out to your neck
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: of the woods, going to be doing the big spiritual
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: leadership conference. Are you going to be at that conference
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: by any chance?
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 22: Not going to be at that one. I'm always sad
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 22: to miss you. And we're going to be in the
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 22: same room at the same time one of these days.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: One of these days.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 13: I feel it.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: No, no, it's true. But 10 days I'll be in California,
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 2: starting in Los Angeles and then working our way up
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 2: to San Francisco for some book events. But anyway, we'll
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 2: be telling folks more about that next week. Kyle, I'm
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: just curious, the big story right now coming out of
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: the White House where apparently They have now allowed CNN,
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: PMS Now, and Politico reporters back into the White House
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 2: press briefing room. Your take on all the controversy?
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 8: Oh, boy.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 22: I'm not sure everyone's going to love my take on
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 22: this because I don't think the president was altogether wrong
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 22: in pushing back so hard on some of these more
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 22: mainstream issues.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 13: Legacy media outlets. We came off the Biden.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 22: Administration where they really did filter and pick and choose
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 22: which journalists, which networks they allowed to have certain levels
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 22: of access to the White House and to the president.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 22: And of course, they never really had a president to
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 22: offer them. Certainly no press corps in the White House,
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 22: in the Oval Office during the Biden administration. So that
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 22: was just a very restrictive, in a different kind of
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 22: a way, administration. And here comes Trump Second time around,
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 22: he wants to be transparent. He's welcoming them in. And
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 22: I think maybe he took the transparency and the opening
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 22: up of access to him as a sitting president a
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 22: little too far.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 13: I will give him that criticism. The press overreached. Some
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 13: were respectful. Some were horribly disrespectful. And I think he
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 13: just hit his limit. He said, that's enough. I've had it.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 22: And he's putting this in a category, Todd. It's really interesting.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 22: I think that he's you know, creative to do it
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 22: this way. But he's saying, hey, we're getting to a
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 22: point where what.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 13: You're reporting is a national security issue.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 22: I'm not sure necessarily that it is, but at least
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 22: it gives the courts a different way to look at this.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 22: And it regains his own control as a sitting president
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 22: to say, you know what, I'm going to I'm going
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 22: to push back a little bit. I'm going to get
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 22: you guys outside of the Oval. I'm going to get
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 22: you outside of the press briefing room.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 13: And you know what? They stick together.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 22: Those journalists, Fox DC said, okay, they're not going, we're
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 22: not going. They kind of grouped together. They seem like
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 22: they'd like to come back now and we'll see how
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 22: it goes. One judge already has refused to reverse what
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 22: the president has done and said in restricting that. So
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 22: I'm really curious to see how this goes down. And
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 22: the networks that I have gone on, aren't talking about
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 22: it because, of course, this is their brethren, right? So
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 22: I'm glad you'll always talk.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 13: About the touchy subjects, Todd Starnes.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 22: I appreciate that so much about you, but I'm highly
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 22: fascinated to see how this one goes down.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: Well, earlier today, another judge intervened and said, no, you
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: got to let him back in. And apparently they have.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 2: I just believe the president made the right decision because
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 2: ultimately the Constitution does not require a that the president,
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: Republican or Democrat, provide designated workspace within the White House.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: And they do not have, the reporters are not charged.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 2: You know, they're working in a taxpayer-funded building using taxpayer-funded electricity. And,
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: you know, I got a problem with that. You know,
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 2: going all the way back to what the FDR years,
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: where the reporters basically just sat outside in the hallway,
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 2: you know, and were waiting for the president or somebody
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 2: to come out and, you know, give them a statement
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 2: or whatever. So my recommendation was for the president to
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: restore the White House press briefing room back to its
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 2: original intent. And that was a swimming pool, Kyle. So
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to do that, though.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 13: So think they're going to do it either.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 22: And I'm not sure I want to see anyone who's
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 22: currently occupying the White House in said swimming pool. Maybe
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 22: Melania will pull it off and be very chic in
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 22: pool attire.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 13: But you know what? I think that the press pool
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 13: needed a little bit of a smackdown.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 22: They need to get their attitudes together and remember that
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 22: they are there at the privilege and the invitation of
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 22: the sitting president. So I hope they can be a
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 22: little bit more on their best behavior now.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: Kyle, I want to switch gears here. There's been a
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 2: lot of very dangerous rhetoric coming out of Democrats. I
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 2: want to play this from Hassan Piker talking about wanting
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 2: to kill people. And by the way, he's talking about
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: Democrats here, not Republicans. Cut 35, please.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 11: I will throw you in prison. OK, I want to
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 11: put you physically behind a prison. I want Chinese style
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 11: communism to happen inside of the Democratic Party right now. OK,
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 11: I want to do cultural revolution when I see that.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 2: So again, this is a guy that is admired by many,
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 2: many Democrats. We've got a number of candidates who refuse
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 2: to condemn this guy. Yesterday at the University of Missouri,
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: you had a kid saying, yeah, you know what? I
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 2: think it's great when somebody dies for the First Amendment.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 2: This is dangerous rhetoric coming from the left.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 22: Well, the Democrats better figure it out. They're trying to
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 22: ride the middle as far as they can on this
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 22: issue and not support and not condemn. They're even doing
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 22: it with candidates like El-Sayed. But here's what's happening with
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 22: Hasan Piker. It's kind of delicious to watch. It's awful
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 22: to listen to. But like many influencers in this space,
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 22: they're only worth what.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 13: They can say that gets attention, that can get clicks.
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 22: They're not going to last, you know, they're not going
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 22: to stand the test of time because all people want
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 22: from them is this sort of histrionic, hyperbolic, rhetoric, right?
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 13: It's interesting. And now we're watching him melt down.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 22: His whole persona is collapsing. And I think we're going
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 22: to watch Democrats particularly continue to take steps back from him.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 22: I'm glad to see it. He didn't last as long
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 22: as I thought he would.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 13: I hate the rhetoric because I think it also pushes
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 13: our boundary line farther out, right?
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 22: Fringe is now really, really, really fringe and scary and dangerous.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 22: So I don't like to hear the terminology. I don't
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 22: like to hear what he's calling for and what he's saying.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 22: But I am glad to see that he's melting down
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 22: a little bit sooner and faster than I.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 13: Thought he would.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 2: Yesterday on Capitol Hill, Senate Republicans holding hearings about men
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 2: and women's sports. Not a single Democrat bothered to show up. Kyle,
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 2: your reaction to that?
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 13: I guess, Todd, I don't understand why the people don't
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 13: hold their political leadership on the left accountable enough. for
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 13: this kind of.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 22: Thing, unless they think that this is really truly just
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 22: Republicans being outrageous. I think a strong majority of the
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 22: country believes that biological males have no place in women's sports,
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 22: changing rooms, locker rooms, bathrooms, in any private space.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 13: And this issue is only escalating.
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 22: I'm really surprised by this and shame on the Democrats
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 22: for not showing up and at least having the political
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 22: discourse around this issue. I just read some statistic that
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 22: it's something like 2,500 medals that biological males have stolen
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 22: from females in Olympics or in sports.
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 13: It's awful.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 22: And I'm really shocked that we have not been able
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 22: to find some common ground for in the political arena
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 22: on this.
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, in the last hour, we actually had on Hannah Lape,
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 2: who is with Concerned Women for America, and that was
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 2: their survey that you referenced. I was genuinely shocked by
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 2: those numbers because every single medal represents a medal that
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 2: did not go to a well-qualified and legitimate female athlete.
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 22: It's like somebody going into a Super Bowl champ's house
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 22: and stealing their ring. I mean, not that We don't
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 22: see that, of course, because you don't see biological women
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 22: trying to compete in men's sports because all of us
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 22: reasoned thinking human beings know that we're built biologically different, right?
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 13: Over 6,000 differences between biological males and biological females.
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 22: But we're just allowing these men to come in and
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 22: steal the records, the opportunities, the careers of professional athletes
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 22: from the women. And Democrats are sitting idly by, and
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 22: they're being negligent at this point in addressing the issue
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 22: and coming up with solutions.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 2: Kyle, really curious here, hitting a lot of topics, but
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 2: of course, watching the midterms. How are things looking for
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 2: Steve Hilton out in California?
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 22: Oh, we just love Steve. I've been with him in
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 22: person over the last couple of days. He did a
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 22: great event over here in my backyard. He was pumping
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 22: three dollar gas for people in our county. And, you know,
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 22: he's just he's having a blast. He's really focusing in
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 22: on what is important to people, what matters as we
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 22: try to energize folks to go to the polls.
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 13: And that really, truly, at the end of the day,
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 13: is those pocketbook issues. It is the gas. It is
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 13: car registration, which sometimes over $ 1, 000 a.
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 22: Year, depending on what kind of car you drive here
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 22: in California, he's going to reduce it to $ 73 flat.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 22: He's finding great solutions to all of these issues that
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 22: are plaguing California. So the energy is high. The polling
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 22: is tough. I got to tell you, brother, it's tough
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 22: to figure, but I think that Steve has done a
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 22: brilliant job of reaching the other side of the aisle,
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 22: those disillusioned, discouraged, and disappointed people Democrat voters who finally
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 22: have had enough. And of course, this huge body of
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 22: potential voters in the middle, they call themselves independent or
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 22: they just hate politics and the whole game of it.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 13: He's reached a ton of them. So I think anything
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 13: can happen. We're praying hard.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 22: It's going to come from up above and we're praying
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 22: for a miraculous win here. We're facing two very, very
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 22: starkly different futures for this state. depending on who's elected governor.
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 2: Wow, you're not kidding. You're not kidding. Well, he's running
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 2: a great campaign. And let's just hope that people listen
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 2: and are open to understanding the solution to their problems
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 2: is not the Democrat Party in California.
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 13: No, absolutely not. In fact, things are going to get
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 13: a lot worse. And it's not just the governorship. It's
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 13: the attorney general.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 22: If we have Steve Hilton as our governor and Rob
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 22: Bonta stays as AG, He's just going to sue the
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 22: office of the governor nonstop and try to slow him down.
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 22: So we also have Prop 39 on the ballot. We
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 22: have voter ID on the ballot this time. And so really,
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 22: I know midterms aren't as exciting for people, but this
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 22: one's really critical.
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 13: And for people of.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 22: Faith, there's estimated nine million voters who call themselves people
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 22: of faith in the state of California. Steve needs two
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 22: thirds of them to turn out and vote for him.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 22: So please, if you If you love California, if you
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 22: want to see her have a chance at any kind
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 22: of a future, please get out, take somebody with you,
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 22: and vote for Steve. For Governor, vote Michael Gates for AG.
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 22: Help us get this state turned around.
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 2: Give her a chance. Well said. Well said. Kyle, always
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 2: good chatting. We're going to have to get together sometime
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 2: in California. That's all there is to it.
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 13: Send me your itinerary. I'd love to try to meet
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 13: you on the road.
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 2: Will do. All right. Kyle Campbell, everybody. A great, great lady.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 2: Great podcast host. Be sure to check out all of
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 2: her great work. on the podcasting networks of your choice.
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 2: All right, we've got to take a quick break here. 901-260-5926.
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 2: When we come back, Benjamin and Yahoo! Going after Zoran Mamdami.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 2: You know, Mamdami threatened to have Netanyahu arrested in New
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 2: York City. That is not going to happen, but Netanyahu
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 2: has some things to say about that. We'll play that
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 2: for you when we come back.
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 8: Or in the office of the anti-Semitic mayor of New York,
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 8: I say this. Shame on you. Shame on you for
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 8: distorting the facts. Shame on you for inverting victim and aggressor.
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 8: Shame on you for spitting in the face of truth.
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 2: Mr.
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 8: Mamdani, since you were elected mayor of this city, many
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 8: Jews no longer feel safe in New York. They talk
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 8: to me. They tell me. This isn't the city we remember.
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 8: It changed so quickly. Now, it's no wonder. You praise
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 8: criminals convicted of supporting Hamas. You count as friends people
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 8: like Hassan Piker, who said America deserved 9-11. America deserved 9-11.
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 8: Some friends you have. You invite into your home a
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 8: Palestinian journalist who filled Hamas terrorists beating and torturing Israeli hostages.
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 8: and later admitted that he refused to publish the videos
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 8: in order to protect, you guessed it, the terrorists. Your
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 8: wife liked a post praising the October 7th massacre. She
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 8: liked another post saying, Tel Aviv shouldn't exist. You refused
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 8: to condemn any of that. You falsely, repeatedly accused Israel
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 8: of genocide. Mr. Mamdani, you tried to stop me from
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 8: coming here. You tried to silence me. Well, you can't
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 8: silence me. You can't silence the truth. And here's the
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 8: simple truth. Here's the simple truth. Israel didn't commit genocide.
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 8: Israel prevented genocide. And that's exactly what Mr. Mamdani's Hamas
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 8: buddies would have done to us had we not stopped them.
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 8: They would have killed every last one of us. The
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 8: lies you and other anti-Semites spread about the Jews and
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 8: the Jewish state have real consequences.
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 17: Wow.
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 2: It's a powerful speech. The best part about it, he
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 2: pulled out of his pocket... a beeper. Remember the beepers,
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 2: the ones that they sent to all of Hezbollah, and
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 2: those beepers were actually, there were secret explosives inside. Remember
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 2: that when Israel blew up most of the Hezbollah leadership?
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 2: He pulls one out. He said, remember the beepers? Remember
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 2: these things? Wow, Netanyahu is not messing around today, ladies
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen. He is not messing around. And how about
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 2: all those applause? How about all those applause? I think
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 2: people understand what's going on. I think he brought a beeper, man.
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 14: A beeper.
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 2: All right, well done. We're going to continue to follow
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 2: Netanyahu's speeches, and we'll do some analysis tomorrow on the show.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 2: By the way, tomorrow, open line Friday, and then Saturday,
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 2: heading off to Los Angeles for the Spiritual Leadership Conference.
