  Speaker 2: and great to have you with us today. Wow. So,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: uh you know, let's say, can we talk about last
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: week for just a moment here? Very rarely do uh
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: do I get sick. I mean, like really really bad
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: where you know, if if even if I'm running a fever,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I'll I'll get behind the microphone and uh we'll we'll
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: do the show. I that is the the worst thing
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: in the in the world is for me to miss
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: the three hours of conversation with you Monday through Friday
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: here on this program. And I don't know what it was.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I have a theory about about what happened last week,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: but you know, we launched the book last week and
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Tuesday I could feel something was not right. And I
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: am telling you when I was in the bed sick,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I have never been that ill in all my life.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: And it affected my voice more so than anything else.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Had a big fever and the voice couldn't talk, and
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I'm one of these guys where well, look, you folks
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: are used to the docile tones of Tod Stearns, and
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: you don't want to hear some gravelly guy for three
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: hours right now. Nobody wants to hear that. So anyway,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I had to had to take a few sick days
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: last week to get over it, which was the worst
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: possible time, especially when you're doing a book launch. So
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: all that to say, it is great to be back
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: with you, and we're going to reset and relaunch the
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: book this week. So we have a lot of interviews,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of things happening this week as we celebrate
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: the Golden Age. Write down our telephone number, looking forward
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: to hearing from you, nine oh one two six zero
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. That's nine oh one two six
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: zero five, nine two six. We'll be taking your calls
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: as well. I mean I even missed open line Friday.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I mean I've never missed an open line Friday. So
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: so anyway, give us a call. We're looking forward to
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: talking with you today. Thank you to President Trump. So
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: the President made a big announcement on true Social that
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: he has read and has endorsed the Golden Age how
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Trump saved America, and we greatly appreciate the President doing that.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: That would be a little awkward, Dylan, if you know
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the president did not endorse the book.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: The one that it's about, Yeah, that would be a slight.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: That would just be a little awkward.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Or if it was just like, it's okay.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: So so you missed all the fun. So we did
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: the and and this is my theory. I think I
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: was infected by the gogs the gallows of girl.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Who absolutely were Yeah.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: So third or was it Tuesday? We had the big
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: signing event at the Barnes and Noble in Memphis. And
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: these are a lot of fun and I I take questions,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I give a little bit of a speech. We and
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: this one was especially important because we had Senator Marshall
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Blackburn there and we also had Congressman David Kustaff, so
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: we had some high falutint folks there and I was
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: we were doing our thing and huge crowd and the
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Barnes and Noble people were very kind, Dylan. They put
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: us up, they put us over the periodical section. They
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: there were, it was there. It was packed, a steaming
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: room only, and we just had a wonderful crowd there,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: uh the local turning Point, USA. Folks showed up and
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: it was just a blast. But I started getting these
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: text messages. There were people outside, these large women, morbidly
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: obese women, and they were outside in the heat, and
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: they were holding these signs and they were protesting and
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: picketing my book signing. I never seen anything like this before.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: And they were screaming and carrying on all sorts of Well, anyway,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the book signing, they stormed the
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Barnes and Noble and I don't know, there were at
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: least I would have to say about a dozen of them.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I think some of them were so large. It's sort
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: of like it may have been more, it may have
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: been less. I don't know, but they represented at least
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: one of them could have been three people. So anyway,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: and I wrote about the irony of all of this
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: is I wrote about the gallos of girth in my book.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I've got a whole chapter. Remember that, Dylan, we did
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the we did the the episode.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we named them and then we gave cures
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: for this.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: We did and Todd Starnes was going to become a
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: life coach. I was going to start a side hustle,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: a life coach for these morbidly obese women, these woke
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: white women who had the magenta hair and the nose
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: rings and the birken stocks, and much like in the
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: book This Is, it was like coming to life in
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: front of my very eyes. Dylan. I never seen anything
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: like this. So you could smell them before you could
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: You could smell and hear them before you actually saw them.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: And it was this sort of like it was a
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: mix of body odor and marijuana smoke. It's very unpleasant.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Like the worst smell I can possibly think of.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: It's terrible. It was just terrible. So anyway, we're doing
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: the the event and they disrupt the event. They start cursing,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: and they start you know, uh, they start mocking many
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: of our fans, and our fans I think they were
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: actually enjoying it all. It was like, oh wow, dinner
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: and a show, you know, one of those kinds of things.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: So anyway, so they're they're cursing, and I didn't I
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: didn't like the fact that they were using the foul
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: language because we had kids there, and you know, you
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: don't want that to happen. I was also someone asked
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: me in an interview, where you concerned with your safety
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: when all of this was going down, And honestly, I
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: was not. I felt fairly safe. The only concern I
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: had is that one of the Obi's women might tip
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: over and flaten a child. That was and that was
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: a real concern. I mean, if you're talking about a
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: clear and present danger, that was it, you know, because
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: then you would have to like hoist, you know, hoist
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: the blubber off of the child and somehow like you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: squeege ee them out, and that would have been difficult
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: to do because the stacks, you know, the book. I mean,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: you know, one of them actually had to move sideways
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: through the stacks. I mean, that's what we're talking about here.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: But anyway, they were, you know, we just a Marshall
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Blackburn was a good sport about the whole thing. And
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: she she turned to me and she says, sign the books,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: just sign the books, and I'm like, I got you.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: We're good, We're good. So anyway, we did all of
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: that and it turned out to be a fine event.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: But it was really funny to me that that these
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: women are really symbolic of what's happening around the nation
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: right now, where you have the rise of these these
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: democratic socialists, these communists, and they want to silence you,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: They want to shut down anything they disagree with. And
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: it was really for me, it was really sad. And
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I go back to the chapter of the book where
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: you know, I had decided to become a life coach
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: for these for these women, to help them find true
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: joy in life by learning how to cook and clean
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: and keep a house and find a husband, and I
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: believe that they would, you know, and also maybe find
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: a fitness coach. And that was the whole point of
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: the chapter was to be of help, to not to mock,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: but to be of help to these gogs, these gals
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: of girth. But I don't think they want help, and
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: some of them may be beyond help. I mean, it's
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: sad to say, but it is what it is. But anyway,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: as I'm watching all of this unfold, and I felt
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: really bad for the Barnes and Noble manager. She was horrified,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, we are just so sorry because you know,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: they went out of their way to make this happen.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: And when I tell you that independent bookstores in America
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: hate conservatives. They hate conservatives, and so I was especially
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: thankful that Barnes and Noble was willing to host us,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: and then to have something like this happen. Their store
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: was being picket in, and now people are actually they're
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: trying to boycott Barnes and Noble because Barnes and Noble
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: carries my book. Well, what's a bookstore supposed to do?
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: For crying out loud? So there you have it. That
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: was the bit of excitement last week as we as
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: we got ready to launch the book, as we really
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I was surprised by that. I did not That was
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: the first time in the history of writing. This is
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: my ninth book. This was the first time that I've
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: actually been targeted by protesters. But you know what, it's
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: not going to change what we do. It didn't change
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: what we did the other night. I was the only
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: thing I wished is that they had purchased some books
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: and they would have read the chapter. Oh could you imagine, though, Dylan,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: if they'd the chapter on the gap, Maybe Wow.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: They're gonna come back on the next one and be like, Todd,
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: you changed my life. I had no idea how far
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: gone I was.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: I just, you know, you, that's a great point. You
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: gotta have somebody and you're like, what is that beautiful fragrance?
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: And then this drop dead gorgeous woman, you know, and
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: she said, she was like, I used to be one
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: of them, but I read your book and thanks to
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: and again in the in the chapter. You know, it
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: wasn't just me. It's a team effort I had. Much
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: like when you go to the flip of the house,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: as you the HG TV shows, you know, the you
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: have the general contractor, but then they have other people
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: handling the flooring and the windows and the painting. And
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: I had helpers as well.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: The lovely Betty Crocker, uh was, was one of my
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: team members. And then from across the big pond, the great,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: the great one herself, Lady Bick. So hello, thank you Tom.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: We love Lady Bick.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: The Seal Team six of women.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Exactly exactly with yours truly at the helm.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: We're like a seal team.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: How much trouble are we in?
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: So far?
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: We're in deep today. So all that to say thank
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: you for If you haven't purchased the book yet, go
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: out and get a copy of it. You're gonna love it.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: We have been doing. Earlier today, we did an interview
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: with Hillsdale College. They've got a great radio station there
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: and Hillsdale they just loved it. Scott Bertrand was just
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: really moved, I think by the book and the humor
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: and the message and what is the message of the
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Golden Age. The message of the Golden Age, ladies and gentlemen,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: is very simple. The Golden Age is not a destination.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: It is an aspiration. And that aspiration is that we
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: are truly a land where freedom and liberty reign. We
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: are a land where where where the common man can
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: live the American dream. We are a place where we
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: would be that shining city on a hill. That's what
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: the That's what the Golden Age is about. It's not
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: about it's not about affordability, it's not about your four
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: oh one k It's about more than that. And that
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: really is the message that I wanted to bring and
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: that I did bring to the Golden Age. How Trump
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: saved America. I want to hear from you as well.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: If you've already started reading the book, what do you
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: think about it? We've got a lot of ground to cover,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: a lot of crazy stories happening. We're going to be
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: working in your calls. Nine oh one two six zero
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. That's nine oh one two six
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. Let's go to Memphis, Tennessee.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Lisa listening to us on k W A M. Lisa,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: what's on your mind? What intel can you share with us?
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: Hey, Tod, how are you doing?
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Lisa? I'm doing much much better. Thank you for asking.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: You sound like you're getting better.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: A little bite the little hey.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: I was calling to let you know this same group
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: of women. I was at my Kroger yesterday on Summer Avenue,
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: ran in there to pick up a prescription and you know,
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: pick up a few things. There were like ten of
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: them walking around this door and stuff. Well, when you
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: leave the Kroger, now they want to see a receipt,
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: and good lord, it was a whole fiasco them standing
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: outside because they didn't want to show their receipts. When
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: they walked out, and they were screaming all the same obscenities,
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: all of that stuff, and the police came all that,
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: and I was like, look, I went in, I shopped,
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: I walked out, showed my receipt. Problem solved and so
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: then of course I became white white privilege because I
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: wasn't with them against them, because all I did was
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: show my receipt when I walked up the store, Like
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: the store asked, no big deal. You do it at
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: Sam's Costco, even at Walmart, you know. So I don't
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: know what their motive is to go to a grocery
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: store on a Sunday afternoon and start all this stuff.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: You know, Lisa, Lisa, and you see these folks and
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: they're causing mayhem all over Memphis. Well, what I find
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: interesting is, and Lisa, you you've run for office and
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: you're a great conservative leader here in the mid South.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: You don't see conservatives doing that. You don't see them
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: invading their spaces.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: Absolutely not. It was it was. It was crazy. I
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: was like, are y'all really doing this just because they
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: asked to see a receipt when you walk out of
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: the store. It's like they're seeking out places just to
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: go and cause chaos, like that's their main job. They
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: really need to get jobs. Yes, we have time to
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: do that at different.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Places and husbands, Lisa, And of course.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: There were some blue hair ones there, you know how,
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it was some of the same ladies that
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: I saw in the video from the Barnes and Noble.
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: I mean some of the it was especially one of
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: the big loud mouth I know who you're talking You
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: know who I'm talking about.
• 15:20

• 15:30
  Speaker 2: I love this guy, Lisa uh And just a great patriot.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: And the women were like mocking our conservative ladies who
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: were in the in the crowd, calling them TEAMU was
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: it Timu Marsha talking about Tim Marshall Blackburn uh And,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: and John Covington said, well, you look like you could
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: be in an Ozmpic commercial. You gotta have some humor
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: about yourself.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: I suppose exactly. But the other I hate that happens,
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: so you really do. But there's the local Kroger. Now,
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: just how do they see these stores and people out

• 17:26
  Speaker 2: be following today. Finally, Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordering a
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: review of the installation of these foot washing stations. This
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: happened at bathrooms at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, also
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: George Bush Intercontinental there in Houston. Apparently the foot washing
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: stations in Houston had already been installed, along with an
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: interconnected Muslim prayer room. Do they have special places for
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: the Baptist and the Catholics there? No, I don't think so.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: DFW had planned to install these facilities as well for
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: the foot washing rituals of the Islamist. The governor says
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: the actions are illegal. He's calling on the Department of
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Transportation to investigate. The governor says he will not allow
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: illegal religious discrimination at taxpayer funded facilities, and he said
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: that the government owned airports cannot favor one religion over
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: all others. So, in other words, if you don't have
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: a special place for the foot washing Baptist, well you
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: can't have a place for the foot washing Muslims. I mean,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: it really is that simple. So we're going to get
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: into more of that in just a little while, because
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: there is something going on in Texas that should be
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: disturbing to all of us who cherish freedom and liberty.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: All Right, got to take a quick break here. Nine
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. That's
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: We'll be right back, all right, President Trump. President Trump
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: asking Americans to basically suck it up. The President giving
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: a speech, and he's asking all of you find folks
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: to accept paying higher gas prices at the at the
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: gas station. And he says, it's basically your patriotic duty.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: That's what the President is saying. The war against Iran
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: continues not looking you know, today is what the Today
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: is the final day for this memorandum of understanding, and
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: it's not looking good. The I Look, the President is
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: a very upset about all of this, and he did
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: an interview with Fox earlier today and uttered some profanities.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: He says Iran should put up the white flag of surrender,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: but they're not going to do that. And right now
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: the sixty day ceasefire expires today. President Trump said there
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: is still time for peace. He said the number one
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: goal is and always will be that Iran cannot have,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: in any way, shape or form, a nuclear weapon. That's
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: what he wrote on Truth Social President also doing an
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: interview with Fox's tray yinst that's their guy in Israel.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: The President now telling Fox he has no time schedule
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: to end this war. I'm not in a hurry, that's
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: what he said. The President says, they're good poker players
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: talking about the Iranians, but they're dying now. Look here's
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: what the president's strategy is. Presidents waiting these people out.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Their economy is in shambles. Inflation is what two hundred
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: percent over there. People can't get any food, there are
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: no supplies, and the thinking is it's going to get
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: so bad economically the people are going to rise up
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: and overthrow the iagolas. That's the thinking here. But how
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: long that's going to take, Well, nobody really knows, and
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: that's the big question. So here's the deal. The war
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: will go on through the elections, that's my prediction here,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: and gas prices are going to go up. Now, the
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: question I have for you is this, does it matter?
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Does does the high gas price? Does that really matter
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: to you at the end of the day when you
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: go and vote on election day? Or does this impact
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: whether or not you actually will vote. I mean, when
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: you look at what's happening around the nation with the
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: depressed turnout of Republican voters, that's a real concern here.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: So the president is really he's rolling the dice and
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: he's assuming that you guys are going to be what
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: he believes to be patriotic and you are willing to
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: pay a higher price at the gas pump. Is that true?
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Are you willing to pay higher prices? Are you willing
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: to do do your duty as a patriot? And is
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: that part of it? Nine oh one two six zero
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: five nine two six is our telephone number. Now, I
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: don't think you guys want to pay the higher prices,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: and I think there is going to be some blowback here.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: The question is how much blowback. I want to bring
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: your attention to a story that's out of the Washington Post.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: This is pretty fascinating and I think this will illustrate
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: where we are right now. Democrat voter turnout is pretty high.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: The Democrats are fired up over a lot of issues.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Whether or not this actually turns into victories in November, well,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: we will see. However, in Memphis, Tennessee, of all places,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: the Washington Post decided to do a deep dive and
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: they determined that there's a big problem and it's on
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: the Republican side of the Ledger. So there's been redistricting
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: in Tennessee, and the Democrats in Memphis are so enraged
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: over this they turned out in historic numbers. Historic According
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: to the Washington Post, Democrats turned out for the House
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: primaries in the highest level in a decade. According to them,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: their interpretation of this is it's the latest sign that
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: redistricting may be energizing black voters across the South. And
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: if the actual election had been held instead of just
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: the primary, then the Democrats would have actually maintained that
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: congressional seat. That's how that is the discrepancy here in
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: what is supposed to be an overwhelmingly Republican district. So
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: it tells us something. It tells us that the Republican
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: base is unhappy, and I suspect they're unhappy, not necessarily
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: with Donald Trump. I think the most of the anger
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: is being directed at what's been happening up on Capitol
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Hill and to do nothing. Congress John Thoode ought to
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: be ashamed of himself. I mean, it's just it's it's
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: appalling what this man has done, and he knows exactly
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: what he's doing. And that's by the way, if you
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: think they're going to come out of the midterms and
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: somehow like bend over and allow President Trump to do
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: whatever he wants, no, that's not going to happen. It's
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: only going to get worse because they know this president
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: will be a de facto lame duck. President. And that's
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: that's how that's how they're going to proceed. I'm telling
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: you it is a mess up on Capitol Hill right now.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: are a telephone number. That's nine oh one two six
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: zero five, nine two six. I want to play some
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: audio here. This is from the Democratic Socialists of America
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: and again we've got to stop these Democrats. We've got
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: to but this is the group that now controls the
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Democrat Party. Cut forward.
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: So the two things that we're famous for, UH is
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: are committed to a program and our.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Hatred of the United States Constitution.
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: And what the program does is it gives us a
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: roadmap to revolution, and it gives us the obstacle that
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: we finally will have to get over to have a revolution,
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: which is the United States Constitution basis of the United
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: States government. And what the Minimum Maximum Program specifically, what
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: that format specifically gives us is that roadmap. It gives
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: us the minimum circumstances under which we would be able
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: to take power and govern, and it gives us the
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: maximum program, which is the goals that we're actually aiming for.
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: It also clarifies democracy as both the end goal and
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: as part of the process to get there ensures the
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: internal party democracy that we want to see in DSAY.
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: So it really wraps up the revolutionary tradition of democracy
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: that I think socialism and abolitionism in the United States
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: have always been a part of and aims it at
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: a future that we can live in as a human species,
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: because I think as a revolutionary democratic, socialist republic in
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: North America we may not have a livable future.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: So there you go, ladies and gentlemen, and that's who
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: we're finding agains. And that's why it doesn't matter. John
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Thune doesn't matter. He's irrelevant to whether or not you
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: get out and vote. That's the reason why you need
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: to be going out and voting in the Midtalm elections
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: is to put a stop to that nonsense. All right,
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two sakes,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Melissa listening to us on Patriot Talk
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: nine to twenty in Texas. Him Melissa, what's on your
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: mind today?
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: Hey, good morning, Todd. How are you?
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: I'm doing much better? Thank you.
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: I'm so glad you're back. The reason for my call
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: this morning is I got your books. The Golden Age yesterday.
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: Oh my goodness. First of all, congratulations on your book,
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: but I could not put it down yesterday.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Is that my book?
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: Thank you, thank you, You're welcome.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: You know, Melissa, I think one of the things that
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: and I hope people when they read the book they
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: come away with this, with this notion that we all,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: we all have skin in this game. It's not just
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump in Washington doing this, but all of us
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: have to stand up and we're going to have to
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: save America together exactly. All right, Melissa, what do you
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: think about the cover of the book.
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: Oh, I think it's awesome.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: Well, it looks really good.
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Joseph Huntley is our he does our graphics and our
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: design work, and just did a terrific job of conveying
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: this idea of the Roaring twenties, you know, the Great Gatsby,
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: And of course the president's favorite color is gold, so
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: you know, we had to have a little bit of
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: that in the book as well.
• 28:48
  Speaker 8: It's excellent. I can't say good enough things about it,
• 28:51
  Speaker 8: and I've already actually told about five or six people
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: run go get your book.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: So Melissa, you are a great American patriot. Thank you
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: for doing that. And thank you for listening to Patriot
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Talk nine twenty. We love that great radio station. All right,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: thank you for calling in there. You go, well, thank
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: you for that bull Less. I hope you enjoyed it,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: and I would love to hear from you if you've
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: started reading the book. Maybe you finished the book. It's
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: a quick read. Let us know what you think. Nine
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six, Hang
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: and Tike got to take a break. We'll be right back,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: all right, Welcome back everybody. This is the Ton Sterns
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Radio Show. By the way, Dylan and have Parkers swinging
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: in here. We got to talk about the big FedEx
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Saint You tournament championship. You guys were were down there.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: It was what three and fifty degrees? Is that about right?
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Maybe four hundred degrees.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Wow, it was insanely hot. I've never seen anything quite
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: like that before. This was this is not your second
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: this was it was not your first time going down there.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: But what was the mood like down there at the tournament?
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: I feel like a lot of people actually showed up
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: despite it being super hot. I mean, the shade you
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: could find it sparsely, but if you could find a
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: good spot to sit. I mean, we hovered around the
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: eighteenth hole like we kind of did last year, but
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know, I forgot sunscreen, so I kind of
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: wanted to be in the shade.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Parker, you got to interview Scotti Scheffler, who just
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: had I mean, that was insane.
• 30:35
  Speaker 10: His performance dominating fashion all week and it was really impressive.
• 30:39
  Speaker 10: I asked him yesterday about how a lot of the
• 30:42
  Speaker 10: top players in the field yesterday you couldn't really get
• 30:44
  Speaker 10: anything going, not as many low scores in the final round,
• 30:47
  Speaker 10: but he was able to consistently keep pulling away. Just
• 30:50
  Speaker 10: kind of shows why he's the most dominant play we've
• 30:52
  Speaker 10: seen along.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: It was remarkable. There was a big problem though, with
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: one of the sprinkler heads. I've never seen anything like
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: that happen in professional golf before.
• 31:00
  Speaker 10: He was on the par three fifth hole on the
• 31:03
  Speaker 10: final round yesterday, probably should have had a tap in birdie.
• 31:05
  Speaker 10: If he doesn't hit the sprinkler head ends up going
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: to the water. So he goes from a tap in
• 31:09
  Speaker 10: birdie to a bogie and he still wins.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: By eight shots. Just it's ridiculous, stolen.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: That's some auras what we call it right there. You're
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: so good you can hit the sprinkler head and you
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: could still win the whole thing.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: I was watching the I was watching Sundays the final
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: match there, and I just turned it on and all like,
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: there's sixteen what he was ahead? Leaving the field by sixteen?
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: One point?
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: What's funny is this?
• 31:36
  Speaker 10: Thinking about how the round started yesterday? He had a
• 31:38
  Speaker 10: two shot lead at thirteen under. He ends up winning
• 31:42
  Speaker 10: it at seventeen under, with the closest guy behind him
• 31:44
  Speaker 10: at nine under, and he probably should have been at
• 31:48
  Speaker 10: nineteen or twenty under. If you think about the sprinkler
• 31:50
  Speaker 10: head shot, he missed a putt he probably should have
• 31:52
  Speaker 10: made at eighteen, and then it's like, well, you look
• 31:54
  Speaker 10: up and he really should have won by ten shots.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable. So when you go in to cover a big
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: golf tournament like this, I mean you're you're getting to
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: interview all of the big time players. What's that experience
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: like for you? Tell me about the prep time going in.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: Prep time was.
• 32:09
  Speaker 10: Really about the whole week ahead, and especially the two
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: days leading up to that Monday and Tuesday leading up
• 32:14
  Speaker 10: to the tournament, when you're getting ready for interviews by Monday,
• 32:17
  Speaker 10: you know the interview schedule, you know who they're going
• 32:19
  Speaker 10: to have in the press conference room. So that was
• 32:22
  Speaker 10: a lot of important time just really getting in there,
• 32:24
  Speaker 10: trying to figure out who's going to be in there
• 32:25
  Speaker 10: and also what questions to ask. And then the post
• 32:28
  Speaker 10: round interviews, it's a lot of just checking stats on
• 32:30
  Speaker 10: your phone and just having questions ready to go as
• 32:32
  Speaker 10: quick as possible.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: You know, guys, this is you know when you look
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: at you know the we have. Of course we have
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: the NBA and Memphis, the Memphis Grizzlies. How big of
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: a deal is this big tournament?
• 32:44
  Speaker 10: I think it's huge, especially when you think about from
• 32:46
  Speaker 10: a pro sports though you mentioned Memphis having the Memphis
• 32:48
  Speaker 10: Grizzlies in the NBA, But besides that, this is the
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: really only pro thing the city of Memphis has and
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: it's the highest level of professional sport can get.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: Really the FedEx Cup playoff.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Because PGA Delon they said they're yank, and they're yank
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: in the tournament away we're getting with the B team.
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: Do we know why yet? Is Is there an official
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: reason why they're doing that?
• 33:10
  Speaker 11: No?
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: And I think that's the frustrating part is, like you
• 33:13
  Speaker 10: could argue it's the heat, which I get it. It's
• 33:15
  Speaker 10: unbearably hot. I mean when I'm interviewing some of these
• 33:17
  Speaker 10: golfers this week, they're just dripping and sweat coming off
• 33:19
  Speaker 10: the rounds. But Jack Simmons ahead of the tournament on
• 33:22
  Speaker 10: Sunday during the trophy presentation, said it was a record crowd.
• 33:26
  Speaker 10: So you know people are still coming. You know, the
• 33:28
  Speaker 10: sponsors are still paying the money, so why would you
• 33:31
  Speaker 10: not keep coming here?
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: And the golfers love it.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it does make you wonny because it's such a
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: fun different city. And of course we've got Elvis week two,
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: so as many professional golfers, you've got twice as many
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: people dressed up like Elvis and the longside burns. So
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: I mean it's a good point.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: I mean, we and the great food that the golfers
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: get here too is probably a good bonus.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Fair enough, fair enough?
• 33:51
  Speaker 12: All right?
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Well how does this stack up to the other tournaments
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: you've covered, Parker, You.
• 33:56
  Speaker 10: Know this one didn't have the exciting finish back to
• 33:59
  Speaker 10: back year. Coming into this one, the winner had been
• 34:02
  Speaker 10: decided from a playoff, so that's something that we almost
• 34:05
  Speaker 10: expected now. But I think just seeing the dominance of
• 34:07
  Speaker 10: Scottie Scheffler was so impressive to watch the highest level
• 34:11
  Speaker 10: of golf you can get.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Well. Well, great job with the coverage and everything and
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: listening all last week and you guys did it. Sounded
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: like ya were having a lot of fun out there.
• 34:20
  Speaker 10: We were having a lot of fun. We were also
• 34:21
  Speaker 10: just trying to stay cool. That was kind of the
• 34:23
  Speaker 10: main goal during the week.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, any good food out there.
• 34:26
  Speaker 12: I know.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: That's like a big part of the whole FedEx tournament
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: thing is the food.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: It really is.
• 34:30
  Speaker 10: They did a great job with that this week. They
• 34:32
  Speaker 10: introduced kind of a free food thing for the fans
• 34:34
  Speaker 10: and that made it really nice. And then Rendezvous was
• 34:37
  Speaker 10: on the range on Wednesday for the players and media.
• 34:39
  Speaker 10: So that was the one kick advantage of.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: I had a grizzburger. I thought that it was going
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: to be a grizzly bear, but it turned out to
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: be a cow, So, I mean, maybe a little disappointment there.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: It was a really good burger.
• 34:50
  Speaker 10: It was good marketing though. Those grizzlies in there.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, can't hurt you thought you were eating a bear burger?

• 39:13
  Speaker 2: of the Atlanta area where a mom and her daughter
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: went to a w NBA game and they were wearing
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: T shirts that were promoting Sophie Cunningham and the idea
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: that girls are girls and boys are boys. And I
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: want you to listen to what happened to this mom
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: and her daughter.
• 39:35
  Speaker 13: And we were we were made to cover up our
• 39:40
  Speaker 13: XXXLAS shirts at.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: This gang Quito shirts.
• 39:44
  Speaker 14: Yes your shirt.
• 39:45
  Speaker 13: They gave us T shirts remiring over time and told
• 39:51
  Speaker 13: us we had to leave.
• 39:52
  Speaker 15: It says for the girl or cover our shirts. This
• 39:58
  Speaker 15: just happened.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Where were you sitting floor or three row?
• 40:03
  Speaker 13: See yeah, third row of floor?
• 40:06
  Speaker 16: Third and how much were your seats?
• 40:09
  Speaker 13: And we did nothing like we were not We were
• 40:13
  Speaker 13: just sitting there. I didn't make signs. I wanted to
• 40:16
  Speaker 13: make signs, but I didn't.
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: I did nothing.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: I didn't notice.
• 40:21
  Speaker 16: During the game on the jumble tron, they put up
• 40:23
  Speaker 16: a woman wearing a shirt that said protect trans Rights
• 40:25
  Speaker 16: or something.
• 40:26
  Speaker 17: She was one hue because she was made to zip
• 40:28
  Speaker 17: up her jacket.
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: So she also had a zip upper jacket.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: She did that.
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: She shouldn't.
• 40:36
  Speaker 16: But they put her shirt on the jumble tron and
• 40:38
  Speaker 16: then it's almost like the message was made and they said,
• 40:40
  Speaker 16: now zip it up to make it seem like they're consistent,
• 40:42
  Speaker 16: but they never were. Yeah, why did you spend so
• 40:45
  Speaker 16: much on tickets while I was.
• 40:46
  Speaker 13: In copy to be here support Sophie Henningham and to
• 40:49
  Speaker 13: sport women and women's sports, because it's just common sense.
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: And what's the relation here?
• 40:54
  Speaker 9: That's my man?
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: And are you an athlete?
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: I used to be until I had a bunch of
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: ee surgery?
• 40:58
  Speaker 16: What sport?
• 40:58
  Speaker 15: I did?
• 40:59
  Speaker 18: All?
• 41:00
  Speaker 19: I did?
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: All the yes?
• 41:01
  Speaker 16: And did this issue ever come up like today? Biological man?
• 41:03
  Speaker 16: I ever tried to play against.
• 41:04
  Speaker 13: No, we're from here, so it hasn't happened here a lot.
• 41:08
  Speaker 13: But I can't believe that just happened in.
• 41:11
  Speaker 15: Atlanta, Georgia.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Well imagine that. Well, let's go right away to our
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Patriot mobile news maker line, our dear friend, great American Patriot,
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Wendy Patrick, also a news Mexican tributor joining us. Wendy,
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: good to see you. This one is mind blowing to me.
• 41:29
  Speaker 17: You know, it is mind blowing, Todd, And I have
• 41:31
  Speaker 17: to say, you know that mother daughter duo.
• 41:34
  Speaker 15: They are very well spoken and very outspoken. I think
• 41:37
  Speaker 15: they were the perfect pair to talk about this really
• 41:42
  Speaker 15: unusual event.
• 41:43
  Speaker 17: I say unusual in the sense that it's not unusual
• 41:45
  Speaker 17: to have something somebody complained about something they find to
• 41:48
  Speaker 17: be offensive, but to have it be biology I mean
• 41:51
  Speaker 17: offended by biology x X versus x Y. That's the
• 41:55
  Speaker 17: issue here. That's what they said on their shirts. Why
• 41:58
  Speaker 17: not put that up on the jumbo if they're going
• 42:01
  Speaker 17: to have the other message as well. And you know, Todd,
• 42:03
  Speaker 17: you know, we bring the Constitution so often into some
• 42:06
  Speaker 17: of these some of these conversations, and it really fits
• 42:09
  Speaker 17: here when it comes to free speech and when you're
• 42:11
  Speaker 17: talking about free speech at a sporting event, whether you're
• 42:15
  Speaker 17: showing support for one side or the other. I mean,
• 42:18
  Speaker 17: this is one of those places that you see people
• 42:20
  Speaker 17: wearing T shirts of all sorts, and to say that
• 42:22
  Speaker 17: you have to cover it up because somebody was offended,
• 42:24
  Speaker 17: I mean, nobody would be able to wear anything. I mean,
• 42:26
  Speaker 17: all logos are offensive because they're associated with different things.
• 42:31
  Speaker 17: Pictures are offensive because they may trigger certain people. I mean, obviously,
• 42:34
  Speaker 17: we have laws that regulate where the boundaries are where
• 42:38
  Speaker 17: you're not allowed to wear certain things that might be
• 42:41
  Speaker 17: that might be profane. But this is just one of
• 42:43
  Speaker 17: those stories where I have to wonder is it a
• 42:45
  Speaker 17: sign of the times, or is this the kind of
• 42:48
  Speaker 17: story that's going to force the pendulum to begin to
• 42:50
  Speaker 17: swing to where we have more tolerance, more allowance, more
• 42:54
  Speaker 17: acceptance for people that at least are saying we agree
• 42:57
  Speaker 17: with science.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: You know, I think it's a it's a great point
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: you're bringing up. And again the idea that this is
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: somehow offensive, well, there are a lot of other shirts
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: that had some pretty offensive things on it as well.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: This is how the left plays this game, you know.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: They want to shut down anything, any speech they disagree with.
• 43:19
  Speaker 17: You know, it reminds me todd of sometimes the pendulum
• 43:22
  Speaker 17: would swing too far and people would say, well, you
• 43:24
  Speaker 17: can't talk about the Ten Commandments, you can't display them anywhere,
• 43:27
  Speaker 17: you can't have a Bible on your desk. Now, obviously
• 43:29
  Speaker 17: the laws are not that strict right now, but it
• 43:33
  Speaker 17: worries me when we are venturing into really the area
• 43:37
  Speaker 17: of things that are scientific, things that are unquestionable, things
• 43:42
  Speaker 17: that are obviously a hot button issue, but that shouldn't
• 43:47
  Speaker 17: take precedence over logic, and that's what worries me about
• 43:50
  Speaker 17: stories like this, where people can say they're triggered by anything,
• 43:52
  Speaker 17: whether or not it makes any sense. And if that
• 43:55
  Speaker 17: were true, think about what would it mean to try
• 43:57
  Speaker 17: to get ready for a game and decide what you're
• 43:58
  Speaker 17: going to wear, especially if you're going to then that
• 44:01
  Speaker 17: kind of money as this mother daughter duo spent to
• 44:05
  Speaker 17: support Sophie Cunningham. So this is one of those things
• 44:08
  Speaker 17: where the vocal minority shouldn't be able to dictate rules
• 44:11
  Speaker 17: for society. And that's why I think you're seeing such pushback,
• 44:15
  Speaker 17: if you will, about this story.
• 44:17
  Speaker 15: And I have to say, both sides of the aisle
• 44:18
  Speaker 15: do not want to see us go down that lane.
• 44:21
  Speaker 17: Where any vocal minority is going to be able to
• 44:23
  Speaker 17: dictate rules that are necessarily potentially going to apply to
• 44:27
  Speaker 17: the rest of us.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: That's a fair point. Wendy Patrick joining us today, NEWSMAX contributor.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about New York State in the Assembly. A
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: woman by the name of Emily Gallagher. She's an assembly woman,
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: and she held a big press conference the other day
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: calling on the police to stop arresting shoplifters for stealing
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: what she called the basic necessities of life, including things
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: like gatorade or shaving cream, toothpaste, soap, and thing like that.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Does she have a legal leg to stand on here?
• 45:05
  Speaker 15: You know, Todd, we can't decriminalize theft.
• 45:08
  Speaker 17: I mean, everybody knows theft often comes with violence if
• 45:12
  Speaker 17: somebody tries to hold onto the property.
• 45:14
  Speaker 15: Theft is often linked to retail, resale, drug use. I
• 45:18
  Speaker 15: mean so many different things.
• 45:19
  Speaker 17: Now, it is true that some prosecutors' offices and police
• 45:22
  Speaker 17: departments have discretion. If there's a mother that's stealing baby formula,
• 45:25
  Speaker 17: maybe one can.
• 45:27
  Speaker 15: But that's discretion that should stay with the agency. We
• 45:31
  Speaker 15: can't seek to decriminalize theft.
• 45:33
  Speaker 17: Where would the line be, are you stealing ramen, noodles
• 45:36
  Speaker 17: or nikes?
• 45:37
  Speaker 15: Are is theft somehow a matter of degree?
• 45:40
  Speaker 17: We hate slippery slopes in the law, but you're going
• 45:43
  Speaker 17: to create one when we say, well, are we going
• 45:45
  Speaker 17: to look to see if.
• 45:46
  Speaker 15: Somebody needed what they took? I mean, what if somebody
• 45:48
  Speaker 15: has a job interview and wants to look nice. I mean,
• 45:50
  Speaker 15: we can take this too. It's absurd conclusions, but.
• 45:53
  Speaker 17: We are not going there as a society and think
• 45:56
  Speaker 17: about how insulting this is to people that are low
• 45:59
  Speaker 17: income and would never in a million years.
• 46:02
  Speaker 15: Commit a crime. I mean, you and I both know
• 46:04
  Speaker 15: lots of those people.
• 46:05
  Speaker 17: They're in our neighborhoods, they're taking public transportation, they are
• 46:09
  Speaker 17: seeking to make ends meet within the bounds of decent society.
• 46:13
  Speaker 17: They would never steal anything. So this kind of an
• 46:17
  Speaker 17: idea is a terrible idea. And I have to say
• 46:20
  Speaker 17: the fact that we're talking about it is at.
• 46:21
  Speaker 18: The very least going to make I hope both sides
• 46:25
  Speaker 18: sit up, listen and take into consideration the terrible thing
• 46:29
  Speaker 18: they would be doing if they were ever to make
• 46:32
  Speaker 18: this some.
• 46:32
  Speaker 17: Kind of law where you would be able to steal
• 46:35
  Speaker 17: it if you say you need it. That's just absurd.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: Well, well of course it is. And again I want
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: to go back here to the idea. Let's just say
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: that you really do need a bar of soap or toothpaste,
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: all right, whatever. So there's something called a local church.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: Many of them have food pantries, and they have assistance programs.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: You've got so many government ages and see some programs
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: out there charities that are set up to help people
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: like this. And again we also have something called welfare
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: in this nation as well. So my question would be,
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: what are you spending your welfare check on if you're
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: saying you don't have enough money to buy soap or toothpaste.
• 47:18
  Speaker 15: I love that, Todd. That's exactly right.
• 47:21
  Speaker 17: Is we do everything we can to care for those
• 47:24
  Speaker 17: that are really struggling financially, and it includes not only
• 47:28
  Speaker 17: all of the programs and charities that you just mentioned,
• 47:31
  Speaker 17: but it also is that human element. Everybody wants to
• 47:35
  Speaker 17: help those who are in need, and if we are
• 47:37
  Speaker 17: able to express that type of generosity, that makes our
• 47:41
  Speaker 17: lives better to be able to contribute. It's what's problematic
• 47:45
  Speaker 17: by deciding to decriminalize, as opposed to all of the
• 47:48
  Speaker 17: legitimate ways that you can help these people, is it
• 47:51
  Speaker 17: encourages theft tourism.
• 47:53
  Speaker 15: Think about that for a meason.
• 47:54
  Speaker 17: Think about what we saw in places in California, places
• 47:57
  Speaker 17: across the country where criminals knew that they were going
• 48:00
  Speaker 17: to be able to pick up whatever they need, TV sets, shoes,
• 48:04
  Speaker 17: everything to be able to resell it, and nobody's.
• 48:06
  Speaker 15: Going to stop them as they walked out of the store.
• 48:09
  Speaker 17: Looting and pillaging were rampant in cities that were already
• 48:12
  Speaker 17: known for not enforcing their laws. It also encourages vigiantalism,
• 48:18
  Speaker 17: vigilante justice, so people deciding, look, the cops aren't going
• 48:21
  Speaker 17: to commemit and enforce the law, We're going to do it.
• 48:23
  Speaker 17: And then there's also the issue of Walmart greets not
• 48:27
  Speaker 17: having gone to the police academy. They are not tactically trained.
• 48:30
  Speaker 17: They did not sign up for a job where they
• 48:32
  Speaker 17: were going to be tackling criminals. They were supposed to
• 48:35
  Speaker 17: be greeting people that were coming into the store.
• 48:38
  Speaker 15: To shop, not to steal.
• 48:40
  Speaker 17: So we could go on and on about the terrible consequences,
• 48:43
  Speaker 17: the unintended perhaps consequences, but nonetheless, what would happen if
• 48:47
  Speaker 17: we were to pass a law like this instead of
• 48:49
  Speaker 17: simply relying on the great ideas that you mentioned.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: Windy Patrick joining us on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line, Wendy,
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: I want to move to Luigi Mangionian. You've been covering
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: this trial in depth, of course, he pled guilty on
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: the federal charges in the killing of United Healthcare CEO
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: Brian Thompson, and we're waiting for the sentencing on December eighteenth.
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: Where are we at now, because there are there's a
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: federal case and a state case.
• 49:19
  Speaker 17: Where we are now in this bold and brazen public
• 49:22
  Speaker 17: assassination is guilty plea to two counts of stalking causing
• 49:27
  Speaker 17: death in federal court. Now, the big question everybody is
• 49:30
  Speaker 17: asking is, well, now, what's going to happen to the
• 49:32
  Speaker 17: New York state case. Well, according to the DA in
• 49:35
  Speaker 17: New York, it is going to be proceeding full steam
• 49:38
  Speaker 17: forward with the support of the victim's family. Now, it's
• 49:42
  Speaker 17: true that New York is more restrictive than other states,
• 49:45
  Speaker 17: and enforcing would be double jeopardy laws. Remember, dual sovereignty
• 49:50
  Speaker 17: is nothing new. You're able to charge the same act
• 49:53
  Speaker 17: federally and state wise, especially if you do it the
• 49:55
  Speaker 17: way it was done here stalking leading to death in
• 49:58
  Speaker 17: the federal side, and of course or secondary murder and
• 50:01
  Speaker 17: weapons charges stateside. But I have to say one more
• 50:04
  Speaker 17: reason that I think we should take into accounts when
• 50:06
  Speaker 17: we're talking about the state case proceeding is a lot
• 50:09
  Speaker 17: of people see this as a murder. I mean again,
• 50:11
  Speaker 17: it was a public assassination and cold blood in public,
• 50:14
  Speaker 17: bold and brazen. He was got carrying gun, dressed in black,
• 50:17
  Speaker 17: light and weight. You don't think about that conduct taught
• 50:20
  Speaker 17: as stalking. So it is true that New York may
• 50:24
  Speaker 17: have another reason to actually want to fulfill for the
• 50:27
  Speaker 17: general public a charge of convicted of what it was,
• 50:31
  Speaker 17: which is a cold blooded murder. All that to say,
• 50:35
  Speaker 17: they have a short period of time to decide.
• 50:37
  Speaker 15: It'll probably be continued.
• 50:39
  Speaker 17: Remember the state case of murder is set to start
• 50:42
  Speaker 17: the first week of September, so that'll probably be pushed
• 50:44
  Speaker 17: back while both sides litigate the legality of the state
• 50:49
  Speaker 17: court case proceeding.
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: Wow, amazing stuff, Wendy. We're going to have to leave
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: it their great intel, great analysis on a lot of
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: different stories today. We always appreciate you coming on the show.

  Speaker 2: All Right, Wendy Patrick, everybody newsmaxicantributor, Great American Patriot on
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. All right, we've got to
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: take a break before we go to break down. I
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: want to go back to this New York case for
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: just a moment.
• 51:15
  Speaker 15: Here.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: You've got Democrats in the Assembly that now want to
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: legalize shoplifting. And again, the other part of the story
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: is that Walgreens, for example, is losing almost a quarter
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: million dollars per store in New York City to the shoplifters.
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: So my question to you is is this, what do
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: you do? Do you say, Okay, if you need a
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: bar of soap, you can steal a bar of soap.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: Where do you draw the line? As Wendy Patrick just
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: pointed out, nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: two six. Our telephone number, that's nine oh one two
• 51:53

  Speaker 2: Earlier in the show, we were talking about the ginormous
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: women who laid siege to my book signing. They stormed
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: the Barnes and Noble. There is a chapter in the
• 52:46

  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, so you've got it. It's it's three three words.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: All right, that's that's your only clue. But if you

• 53:41
  Speaker 2: Age is on the line here. What do we call
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: in the book these large leftist loons? I think that's
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: a great trivia question.
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: I think it is too. It's like a central theme
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: of your book.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: Actually not really. It's one chapter. It's a big it's
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: a big chapter. It's a large, large part.
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: I got it. Idea.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: I'm still kind of going through the I'm still on drugs.
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's okay, you're getting better, man.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: I was doing the the level of legal narcotics I
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: was under last week. I'm not even sure what I
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: I don't even remember what I did.
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, that's.
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: How crazy it is.
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: Did you get good sleep at least?
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: That I was out? I was literally out. I have
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: no idea who filled in for me last week. I'm
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: assuming nothing major happened because I was literally out of
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: you know, all right, lines are loading up with calls.
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five. Nine to six
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: is our it's our telephone number, all right? I want
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: to play some audio here real quick. This is a
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: weird story out of Disneyland. This is crazy cut number
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: one place.
• 54:59
  Speaker 20: A woman has been and from Disneyland after spending an
• 55:02
  Speaker 20: entire day following and bothering an actor who played Peter Pan.
• 55:05
  Speaker 20: The woman, now called the Peter Pan Girl online, regularly
• 55:09
  Speaker 20: visits the park to meet different Peter Pan actors. In
• 55:12
  Speaker 20: one viral video, she brought an actor several handmade gifts
• 55:15
  Speaker 20: and followed him around while recording their conversation. She first
• 55:18
  Speaker 20: asked him to pose with a duck themed item. She
• 55:20
  Speaker 20: then offered him a shirt and a doll, even though
• 55:22
  Speaker 20: he appeared unsure about accepting them. When he finally agreed,
• 55:26
  Speaker 20: she asked him to confirm on camera that she had
• 55:28
  Speaker 20: given him the gift. She also told him to name
• 55:31
  Speaker 20: the doll, take care of it, and feed it twice
• 55:33
  Speaker 20: a day. Many of viewers said the actor looked uncomfortable.
• 55:36
  Speaker 20: He stepped back, turned away, and gave short answers, but
• 55:39
  Speaker 20: the woman continued talking and walking with him. At one point,
• 55:43
  Speaker 20: he asked what she wanted him to do with the gift.
• 55:46
  Speaker 20: Critics said Disney actors are paid to stay friendly and
• 55:49
  Speaker 20: in character, so their kindness should not be treated as
• 55:51
  Speaker 20: personal interest. Others argue that park workers should be allowed
• 55:55
  Speaker 20: to end uncomfortable interactions before they continue for too long.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: What do you think, Yeah, I'm going to tell you
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: what I think. I think we need to give all
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: of these poor Peter Pan actors. Give them like a
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: little taser. And when the Freak show, when it gets
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: out of control, they just take out the They take
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: out the freaks. Got to take a break here. This
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: is the Todd Stern Show. All right, Welcome back, everybody.

• 58:16
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, I want to go right away to
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line and say, lord of our
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: good friend, Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaeffer retired, but he's really
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: not retired, because Tony, I think you're the busiest man
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: in the business right now.
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you, Todd.
• 58:34
  Speaker 21: And by the way, last week, I don't know if
• 58:36
  Speaker 21: you remember I loaned you liked. I think it was
• 58:38
  Speaker 21: five million dollars, so you owe me. I think you
• 58:40
  Speaker 21: were just kind of not paying attention. So it's okay,
• 58:44
  Speaker 21: you can get it back to me anytime.
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: It was the drugs. Oh my word, Tony. There is
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: a lot going on. I was just I had to
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: stop watching the news over these olngations about the conditions
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: on the Abraham Lincoln and some other ships that are
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: in the Middle East region is a part of the blockade,
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: and I'm just curious to hear your take on what
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: you think this is all about and is there a
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: problem here.
• 59:18
  Speaker 21: So, yeah, Admiral Cooper, the commander of Central Command, was
• 59:21
  Speaker 21: just visiting the ship and it's not great. I mean
• 59:26
  Speaker 21: they've been out at sea for a long time without
• 59:29
  Speaker 21: a portocoll. My wife is a lieutenant commander in the Navy.
• 59:33
  Speaker 21: By the way, she's a nurse. She's been on these things,
• 59:35
  Speaker 21: and people can get pretty nutty on extended cruises. I mean,
• 59:39
  Speaker 21: this is not like going on carnival cruise. We have
• 59:41
  Speaker 21: aledo deck and bad behavior. I mean, if you've got
• 59:44
  Speaker 21: the bad behavior but nothing to blow the steam off.
• 59:47
  Speaker 21: So I sympathize for the crew with that said, war
• 59:53
  Speaker 21: they've been at the pointy edge of the spear and
• 59:56
  Speaker 21: they're doing a really good job. So the answer is
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 21: they're being relieved by the US S. George Washington. The
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 21: George Washington's coming out of the Pacific, and uh, they'll
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 21: be probably sent back to a really nice portocol on
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 21: the way home to get some lawsome steam.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 21: But it's any ship of that size will have technical problems.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 21: There's logistical issues, no doubt, but it's not as bad
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 21: as it's been portrayed, but it's not. It's not good
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 21: news either.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: No, and I understand that, you know, I think the
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: concern for me is the you know is you know,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: are these reports coming out? Are they accorate? Is this
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: Iranian disinformation? I know we're hearing from a lot of
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: moms and dads, but you know, are there are their
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: kids conveying you know, the reality of the situation, or
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: you know, or maybe they're not well.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 21: I'm sure anecdotally some of those things happen. I mean,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 21: but the overall status of the ship is in good shape.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 21: Have they had some issues regarding redundancy of the same
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 21: meal appsly, but for the most part, a lot of
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 21: this has been amplified by our own media and our
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 21: own media todd as you know, except for Newsmax, tends
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 21: to want to amplify bad and diminish good. So as
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 21: much as the good is they've been doing an amazing job.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 21: The aircraft carrier has been right at the front line
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 21: enforcing the global blockade. The bad news is, yeah, they're
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 21: worn out. The ship is worn out. The ship needs
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 21: to come back and spend some time. And by the way,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 21: I put this overall issue at the feet of Obama
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 21: and his administration, and also Sleepy Joe because the reason
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 21: we have these ships out for the length of time
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 21: we do is because we are down to aircraft carriers.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 21: They're nuclear piles. Todd are being replaced, and they didn't
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 21: provide adequate funding to the Navy to do that. So
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 21: part of the challenge right now is we just don't
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 21: have enough aircraft carriers to meet our global requirements. So
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 21: that's the longer term issue. But short term this is
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 21: going to be fine. People are going to complain, kids
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 21: are going to complain to their parents. It's inevitable. But
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 21: this is I think going to blow over very quickly.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: I have to say that. Over the weekend, or really
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: last week, when I was on my death bad, I
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: was watching Band of Brothers and I just couldn't help,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: you know what, you know, seeing the conditions that our
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: World War Two, you know, soldiers were in compared to
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: what the you know, the kids you're dealing with now,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: and you wonder, Okay.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 21: So I've been during my diplomas to Afghanistan. You out
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 21: in the field, you got a hole in the ground
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 21: to go to the bathroom in and you're using a
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 21: poncho liner to sleep in.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: And this is in.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 21: Mountain operations, and we were out there for weeks. Now
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 21: at Bogram, it was even better, Todd, because we had
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 21: the luxury of portagohns. And man, there's nothing better than
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 21: getting out in the winter and going to a portajohn,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 21: which it's about eighteen degrees and that's how you start
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 21: your day. And in the summer you had the same
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 21: porta john and it's one hundred and eighteen Jesuz. So
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 21: I'm just saying that people in the military experienced misery
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 21: on a routine basis. And again I'm referencing my wife
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 21: because she's a lieutenant commander. She's been in both extended
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 21: to extended ship, ship of centric floats or she's been
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 21: out there forever. And then she's been in Iraq and
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 21: she said, still out of the two out of either
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 21: being in the desert in Iraq or being on a ship,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 21: it's better to be on a ship because you're covered,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 21: you get good food consistently. So the military is not
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 21: a place for the faint of heart, Todd. I mean,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 21: and even some of you know I was in combat
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 21: in my forties, in my fifties, so you know, you
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 21: go along, You get along, and you do what you
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 21: can to make do so. I do feel their pain.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 21: I literally feel their pain, to quote Bill Clinton. But
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 21: I do believe that the obligation of the sailors is
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 21: to get the mission done first and deal with the
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 21: stress as it comes. And they still, you know, they've
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 21: had shortcomings. They've had by the way Todd toilet, there's
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 21: been some videos of toilet's backflowing and everything on air
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 21: correct cares that's common on any big ship.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: Just say it.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 21: I mean, these things are not These are not carnival
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 21: cruise lineships designed for comfort and freedom free of mechanical issues.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: Tony, I want to switch gears here. Of course, today
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: is the ceasefire ends in Iran. Doesn't look like anybody's
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: moving one way or the other. I know the President's
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: out there saying, you know, we just need to kind
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: of suck it up when it comes to these higher
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: gas prices. How do you see all of this playing out?
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: Where are we in all of this?
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 21: So the ultimate objective remains, as far as I can tell,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 21: for President Trump to obtain eighty percent of global control
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 21: of energy that's either by direct sale, influence or direction.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 21: That's what we're doing in Venezuela. So that's what the
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 21: objective is. I think we're probably a little over fifty percent,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 21: probably going towards sixty. And it's important because he wants
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 21: to be able to dominate the globe, not by military force,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 21: but by controlling energy. That's what we're doing, and that's
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 21: why we're being a bit patient with this, because we
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 21: don't want to see a great number of American casualties.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 21: Could we seize the straight absolutely, I've spoken to members
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 21: of several commands, to include very senior Pentagon leadership. I'll
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 21: leave it at that.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: We could do it.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 21: We're choosing not to do it. And right now the
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 21: global blockade seems to be having the effect we want
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 21: it to be. And Scott Descent has said, the Secretary
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 21: of Treasury, what we're going to do now essentially is
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 21: essentially implode their economy, and by imploding their economy, the
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 21: Iranian threats of oh, we're just going to start using
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 21: our proxies, they haven't been able to fund their proxies
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 21: or give them weapons since the war started, so that's
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 21: kind of a hollow threat. I'm confident if we stick
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 21: stick in here for at least another thirty sixty days.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 21: I think we're going to be fine. And basically, we
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 21: cannot allow a government that is war with us to
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 21: remain in power. And I know the President Trump is
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 21: backed away from regime change, but I think I don't
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 21: think we have any choice. But the regime change the
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 21: Iranian well.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: I don't either. I mean, and I know that that
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: was not in the cards here. But at some point,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: you know, you're gonna have to, as we say in
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: the now fish or cut bait, and they're going to
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: have to figure something out.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 3: But I.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: See what they're doing, starving you know, Iran financially, and
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: that is putting the hurt. Maybe we're not seeing that
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: play out, you know, in real time. But again, election
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: day is coming up, and we just have to hope
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: and pray the voter. Fine, yeah, you think we'll be fine.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 21: Okay, I'm a count of commissioner down here North Carolina.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 21: I I deal with my Democrat colleagues all the way,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 21: the ones that aren't woke, just saying there are some
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 21: left there not woke, and nobody who's rational is against
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 21: what's going on. And are we paying a little bit
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 21: more gas? Yeah? But the economy is doing really well,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 21: so I don't you know, I think we'll be fine.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: All right, good stuff that Tony. We're gonna have to
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: leave it there. My friend, always appreciate your great analysis.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: All right, take care. The great Tony Shaffer everybody retired
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: lieutenant colonel and the great American patriot thatt Man is.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: And I didn't realize that about his wife though, who
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: was still serving. So there you go, Dylan, Can we
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: talk about it. I don't think we've ever gotten any
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: hate hate calls from the gals before.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 4: I think you've received the voicemails, but not a live
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 4: reaction here.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: She may have been one of them. She may have
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: been one of the gals the gog.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 4: Did you recognize the voice at all? Is there anything there?
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: I couldn't. She wasn't screaming so that, you.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 4: Know, Yeah, she needed to be screaming.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I probably because there was so much screaming
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: at the book sign.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 4: Sometimes you can hear the blue hair too.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: Sometimes they called me a racist. I was trying to
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: think of all the things. They called me, a white supremacist. Oh,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: his wife, they're white. I'm a white donor. I don't
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: believe I've given any money to either one of them.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 4: What is a white donor A white guy that donates.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: A white guy that donates money. I guess I don't know.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: I guess we're all white donors here. It is what
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: it is, all right. We've got to take a break
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: here Before we do that, though, I want to play
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: some some audio from Joey Jones. He's a marine veteran,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: lost his legs in combat in Afghanistan, and he's really
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: fired up over these reports coming out of the Abraham
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: Lincoln and others. Cut number two plays.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 14: He little, you know what I ate in Afghanistan for
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 14: six months on a burner, with just a little burner,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 14: I ramen noodles. I had to pull the seasoning packet
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 14: out because that's too much sodium minute, and I put
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 14: tuna packets in it.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 20: That's what I ate.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: And now you know what.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 14: I was happy to have it because the alternative was
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 14: an mri or something cooked by the Afghan guy who
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 14: was too stupid to be given a gun, and they
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 14: let him be the cook. And so if I wanted
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 14: something spicy, test my fate a little bit. I go
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 14: get a bowl of whatever he made in that giant
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 14: earned thing that he had. How weak are you on
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 14: TV complaining about tuna and noodles. I'm sorry, you volunteer
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 14: to serve your country.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: You can come.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 14: Back, get out of the military and do look all
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 14: of these Democrat veterans and complain about it and make
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 14: commercials and be a sellout if you want to, and
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 14: come up with a new way of doing things. The
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 14: last Democrat president that I remember that was deploying troops.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 14: Barack Obama had the Army going to Iraq on patrol
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 14: basis for fifteen months at a time, eating MRIs. I'm sorry,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 14: but you're a sitting duck on a patrol base in
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 14: Iraq in Afghanistan, a heck of a lot more than
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 14: you are on a forty five Navy ship sitting in
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 14: the water. I of got bored, and I'm sorry. We
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 14: did have more fun getting in firefights, I'll say that.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 14: But to sit there and say that it was terrible
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 14: because you had a corn dog and a hot dog.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 14: I would have traded a block of seafour to the
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 14: Taliban for a hot dog. Buy about July twenty ten.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 14: I just do not understand the mentality. If this is
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 14: a representation of who our military is now. And I'm
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 14: not saying it is, but there's at least enough for
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 14: some of these trash rags to reprint about it. If
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 14: this is who we are, we're just roam, sitting here
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 14: waiting to burn. We've got nothing left. It makes me
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 14: absolutely it makes me fume. If he sat there and
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 14: said we didn't have any clean water to drink, we
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 14: couldn't take a shower.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 11: I mean, well I didn't get.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 14: To take a shower for about six months, but still,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 14: you know something that has something to do with hygiene
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 14: or you know, like getting sick. There was a scurvy outbreak,
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 14: and you know the guys that were missing legs were
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 14: only giving wooden pegs instead of metal ones. Then maybe
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 14: I might have some sympathy. But to that little kid
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 14: and whoever raised him, Lord help you if you ever
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 14: go into a hot war on on the ground like
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 14: millions of Americans, I can only think what a world
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 14: war two veterans sitting there. Who's loocid enough today to
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 14: see that and think about the six months journey home
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 14: from fighting the toughest war we've ever fought after being
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 14: there for four years? Was thinking listening to him complain
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 14: like that. Just the series day, the Navy put out
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 14: his response. That's my response in the story.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: All right, yeah, I'm curious here your take. Do you
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: agree with Joey Jones again watching what our fighting men
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: and women had to go through in World War two?
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 21: Ye?
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: My goodness. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: two six. This is the Todd starn Show. All right,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: General Jack Keene was on Fox and he's really fired
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: up over all of the reporting coming out the USS.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: Abraham Lincoln cut number three plays.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 12: Yeah. Well, first of all, I did talk to Admiral Cooper.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 12: He had a great visit with the troops there. They
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 12: feel good about what's happening here. I've never seen such
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 12: misrepresentation in the media of the actual facts that took place.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 12: A soldier fell overboard and was rescued. They were claiming
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 12: that multiple soldiers were committing suicide, not not soldiers, sailors.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: I don't want to.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 12: Insult the sailors by calling them soldiers, but the reality
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 12: is the misreputation has really been quite significant. I mean,
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 12: I understand people disagree with the war. I got that
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 12: and those arguments should be made. But this I'm glad
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 12: Cooper went there. He wrote a great article in a
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 12: Wall Street Journal op ed that's worth reading to give
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 12: you his assessment of what's took place. And it's insulting
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 12: to these troops. I mean, they've been there for a
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 12: long time, standing tall representing the United st States, and
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 12: that's what they volunteered to do. And when they're doing
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 12: something like that, they really feel good about the meaning
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 12: and the purpose of what it's about in their families
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 12: of sacrificing as well. I mean, we should be very
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 12: proud of them, wrapping our arms around them figuratively in
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 12: terms of what they've accomplished. Well done heading home to
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 12: their families.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 3: It's good news.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is good news. And again, you know, if
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: you are serving in the military, and I thought Tony
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: Schaeffer really put it really in a great light. He said, Look,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: this is not like the Rich Carlton cruise. This is
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: not this is not some sort of a carnival cruise line.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: You are on a warship, so you are you are
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: there to fight a war. That's what you're there for.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: And are the conditions, you know, five star luxury. No,
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: and of course not, and they're not meant to be.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: But when you look at what our fighting men and
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: women had to deal with in World War two and
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: in Korea and Vietnam, and I would say in back
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: in Afghanistan, folks, this is something This is not something
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: that that is unique. What troubles me though, the fact
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: that all of these these sailors and these soldiers they've
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: got their smartphones in a war zone and they're using them,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: and you wonder, you wonder about the safety of all
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: of that. Uh it is it's Look, it's it's a
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: different age, I get it. But the reality is this
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: is a war we're talking about. All Right, gotta take
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: a break here. Nine oh one two six zero five,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: nine two six. Coming up, Steve Gill and Angie Wong
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: gonna break down the big primary coming up Tuesday in
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: the state of Florida. All Right, nine oh one two
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: six zero five, nine two six. This is the Todd
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: Sterns Show.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 3: That's that's that.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 12: This American.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 11: Doud starts.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: Well, it is really a special moment inside the Oval
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: Office right now. Hello, everybody, welcome to our three of
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: the Ton Serns Radio show. You might remember, what was
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: this a couple of weeks ago, maybe it was a
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: month ago, and there was an amazing story out of California,
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: Santa Cruz where a sixteen year old lifeguard by the
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: name of Ryder Williams put his own life on the
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: line and rescued a little boy. So that lifeguard, writer
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: Williams now said, side by side with the President inside
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: the Oval Office, along with his family and the family
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: of the little boy that he saved. And it's really
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: a remarkable scene. The President just announced that he's after
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: the gathering there, the official gathering, he's giving a writer
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: and the little boy that was rescued a private tour
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: of the Lincoln Bedroom. So there you go. Well, what
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: a nice day up at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. Well,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: I want to go right away to the Patriot moble
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: newsmaker line. We have a lot of politics to talk about.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: Our good friend Steve gil the publisher of TriStar Daily
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: dot Com, joins us, Steve, hope you're doing well today,
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: and I want to start out with some interesting analysis
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: from the Washington Post about Tennessee's ninth congressional district race,
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: and they pointed out there was a massive, a massive
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: surge in black Democrat voters in that race, suggesting that
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: this could become a dicey situation in the general election.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: What do you make of the Washington Post analysis there?
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 19: Yeah, I think when you look at the new ninth district,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 19: it was redrawn that moves from Shelby County, you know,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 19: parts of kind of the suburban area around Shelby that's
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 19: much more republican, much more white, and then strings along
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 19: the southern border of Tennessee on the border of Mississippi Alabama,
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 19: and then heads sharply north through Williamson County, which is
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 19: one of the more Republican counties in the state. The
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 19: bottom line is that the Shelby numbers shouldn't be able
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 19: to outdo the rest of the district, which is much
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 19: more read, much more republican, much more upscale. The question
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 19: is will those people turn out? In Tennessee, you have
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 19: Senator Bill Haggerty running for reelection with literally virtually no opposition.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, he will win handily.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 19: You have Marshall Blackburn having just won the Republican she
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 19: should win handily, you know you had. I think Kamala
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 19: Harris got about thirty five percent of the vote against
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 19: Donald Trump.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 3: That's the Democrat base.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 19: If Republicans turn out, there's nothing to worry about, both
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 19: in that race and across the state. But as you
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 19: point out, and as the other media you're noting, if
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 19: the African American vote in Memphis and then you know,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 19: parts of that district turnout and the rest of the
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 19: Republican base is suppressed, then there could be problems. We
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 19: have very late primaries. Florida's going to have theirs tomorrow,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 19: some of the other states are having their primaries. There
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 19: is very little time between now and November for a
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 19: healing process to take place when you have better primaries.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 19: So Tennessee really puts ourselves at risk. When you have
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 19: late primaries. People fight because the primaries usually are where
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 19: the wind is won, and then it's hard to come
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 19: back together and motivate and bring your voters back out.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 19: And I think it could be a perfect storm if
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 19: we're not careful.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: And you're right, it was a better Republican primary. And
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: what was interesting is that Marshall Blackburn did not get
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: fifty percent of the vote, was it I believe forty
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: three percent. I may be off there a point or two.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: And I'm wondering if if she's going to be able
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: to rally the supporters of the other two candidates that
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: were in that race.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 3: Look, top, we've been involved this for a long time.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 19: The candidates, you know, have a professional heir to to
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 19: some extent.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 3: You know, there's some slings and arrows that are thrown,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 3: but you.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 19: Know, most politicians have developed a little bit of a
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 19: thick skin over time. But the people who were out
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 19: putting the yard signs out in one hundred degree temperatures,
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 19: in rain, in sleep, in hale, who were exchanging barbs
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 19: with their friends and in some cases former friends online,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 19: it's harder for that healing price to take place with them.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 19: But because they're more you know, emotionally invested sometimes in
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 19: the candidates themselves, I think you may see the candidates trying.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: To bring things back together.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 19: Although Marshall Blackburn and her team have not really commit
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 19: much outreach to Rose and money threats in that race,
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 19: and I think there's a gap there. Fifty seven percent
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 19: of the Republican primary voters voted for somebody other than her.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 19: And you've not only got a Democrat candidate, the public
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 19: defender from Memphis, Jerry Green, who's running as a Democrat. Again,
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 19: if that Democrat base is thirty five thirty seven percent.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 3: And they're more motivated, that number could be a little higher.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 19: And then in Tennessee, we have a guy named David
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 19: Hartley who's worth about two hundred million dollars from East Tennessee,
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 19: who's running as an independent, who has already put.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 3: Seven million dollars of his own money into the race.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 19: He's not taken contributions, not taken pack money, and he's
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 19: pledged he's putting in as much as twenty million dollars
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 19: into that race. You spend twenty million dollars over the
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 19: next sixty days, it's going to leave a mark. And
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 19: by the way, a little breaking news for you, he
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 19: has hired as one of his consultants the same media
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 19: polling and consulting company from Los Angeles that helped put
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 19: things together for Spencer Pratt and his race for mayor
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 19: out there, So that twenty million could be spent very aggressively,
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 19: very creatively, and could have an impact.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's gonna be Yeah, that's going to be fascinating.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: So we could have, if nothing else, a very well
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: funded independent candidate running in the governor's race.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 3: And it would be history making if an independent was
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 3: able to run.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 19: Usually they don't have the money, they don't have the resources,
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 19: they don't have the name ID. But in this case, again,
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 19: if he puts twenty million dollars, and by perspective, you know,
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 19: eight years ago you had Randy Boyd, you had Diane
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 19: Black running for governor, Bill Lee, you know, spend about
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 19: twelve million. They each spent about twenty two million dollars
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 19: in their races for governor, but it was over the
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 19: course of a year or more.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: This guy's talking.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 19: About doing it, dumping it in about sixty days.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: That's going to have an impact, seem I just don't
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: know what to make of the polling data. And you know,
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: we kind of go through the same rigamarole all the time.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: The numbers out of Texas where they say talleryk is
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: going to beat Keim Paxson, I don't believe it. I
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: just don't believe it. I just don't see a Tallerico's
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: campaign moving the nut much at all. But again I
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: may be wrong.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: What is your take on the overall mood of the
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: of the electorate.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 19: First of all, I think in Texas it's hard to
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 19: believe that the barbecue eaton unborn baby love and too
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 19: high tax paying gun on and Texans are going to
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 19: vote for this, you know, more moderate sounding but more
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 19: woke liberal democrat who has you know, left a great
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 19: list of items and comments and video comments that can
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 19: be used against you. But they better start soon. You've
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 19: got to, you know, make sure that you mark him
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 19: for who he really is rather than who he tries
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 19: to deceive Texans over the next sixty days or so.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 19: I think Republicans do have a lethargy that's affecting us
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 19: around the country. There is an indication of low turnout,
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 19: not just what we've seen in Tennessee, but in some
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 19: of these other races across the country.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 3: And we know todd that when.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 19: Donald Trump is not on the ballot, Maga voters Trump
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 19: voters tend to not turn out in the same sort
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 19: of numbers as when he's on the ballot.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 3: He's not on the ballot.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 19: He can go do rallies, and he can go speak up,
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 19: and he can do endorsements, but we've seen his endorsement
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 19: success even in the Republican primaries, falling off in a
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 19: variety of races across the country. So I think that
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 19: when Trump is not on the ballot, that should cause
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 19: Republicans concern.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 3: The economy is still a concern.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 19: Gas prices and as we've talked before, I may not
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 19: be able to tell you the exact price of a
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 19: loaf of bread or a gallon of milk right now,
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 19: but everybody knows to a penny what gasoline costs, because
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 19: there's big signs on every point are telling us. As
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 19: long as those prices are high or don't feel like
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 19: they're coming down, I think that's going to have an impact.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 19: And the clock is ticking on how soon something has
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 19: to be done to move those prices in the right direction,
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 19: rather than continue to have them sort of dribble up
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 19: and dribble down, as we've seen over the last several months.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: An interesting poll a CBS News they released us yesterday.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: This is a CBS News you Gov poll socialism seen
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: in a very positive or somewhat positive light. I get
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: this fifty eight percent of Democrats eighteen percent of the
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: same group seeing the ideology in a somewhat negative or
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: very negative light. Twenty four percent of Democrats had no
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 2: opinion on the ideology that tells me that the Democrat
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: Party is the socialist party.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 19: What say you, well, the socialist part of the Democratic
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 19: Party are the more sane ones. It's the communist and
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 19: the complete whack jobs that should courtas as well. But
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 19: the fact that the main base of the Democratic Party
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 19: embraces socialism, and it's interesting, Tood. The only people who
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 19: embrace socialism are those who've never experienced it. I'm not seeing,
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 19: you know, all these Democrats getting little rafts in Miami
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 19: and started and peddling their way to Cuba.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 3: They're not going across the border.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 19: Into Canada for that vauntage free healthcare that Canada offers.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 19: They don't want it. It just sounds good on paper.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 19: It has never worked anywhere, and by the time you
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 19: realize it doesn't work, it's a little bit too late
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 19: to take it back. So I think again, the job
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 19: of Republicans is not just to throw out rhetoric and
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 19: words and branding of you know, socialism is bad. I
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 19: think you have to do a better job of giving
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 19: examples and pointing out that if you want to go
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 19: embrace a Soviet to style utopia, a communist or socialist utopia.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 19: There are plenty of examples around the world, which is
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 19: where people are trying to.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 3: Leave to come here. But you know, the exits are available.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 19: Go there and try to experience yourself before you impose
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 19: it on the rest of us.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: Steve Gill is the publisher of tri Star Daily dot com. Steve,
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: what's the big story over at tri Star Daily today?
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 19: I think the thing that we're looking at is to continued,
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 19: you know, move from the primaries to the general election.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 19: We've got a couple of stories up talking about the
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 19: fact that Tennessee has super majority at the State House
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 19: and the State Senate for Republicans. That is not likely
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 19: to change. There may be a move of one seat
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 19: here or one seat there. But the next big issue
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 19: is going to be who becomes lieutenant governor in Tennessee.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 19: In the Tennessee process, the governor is elected at large
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 19: and then the Lieutenant governor is selected by the state Senate.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 19: That individual is voted by essentially the Republican majority to
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 19: become the Speaker of the Senate and lieutenant governor. There's
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 19: going to be a battle for that there are twenty
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 19: seven members of the Senate. Fourteen senators will pick the
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 19: lieutenant governor, Jack Johnson in Williamson County. Paul Bailey and
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 19: the Upper Cumberland are going to be going for that.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 19: And the problem is it's a secret ballot, so somebody's
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 19: probably going to be writing fifteen sixteen thank you notes
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 19: to their fellow senators when they get thirteen votes.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: Well, there you go, all right. Steve Gill from try
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: Start Daily dot com. Steve, thanks a lot, appreciate your insight.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 3: Thanks Tod.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 2: All right, we've got to leave it there and take
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: a quick break here, folks nine oh one two six
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six, Just curious about the mood
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: in your area, and especially you folks in Texas. Are
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: you buying any of these polls that are showing Tallerico
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: leading Ken Paxton? And if so, what is going on there?
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: Is this a Paxton issue? Or have far too many
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: people from California moved into the lone star state. Nine
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. This
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: is the Todd Stern Show, you.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 22: Know, Todd, I'm glad you're feeling better. I always told
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 22: my mother who passed away six months ago at ninety five,
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 22: I said, Mom, you don't need to be going to
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 22: restaurants around the holidays because that's when people get sick
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 22: the most, or being around groups of people. Who Ever,
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 22: since she's stopped doing that, she was healthy for years.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 22: On another point, which did you do with these people
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 22: they want the illegalized shoplifting? That was Waldgreens. I shut
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 22: my shop and leave the city. I'd shut my shops
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 22: and be done. I wouldn't tolerate that.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Mark from the Villages. Didn't have time to call.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: So Mark used our free Todd Sterns Show app and

• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: to the phones. Our good buddy Joe from Ella j Georgia. Joe,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: what's going on? Hello Joe? All right, I thought we
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: had Joe. We'll get back to Joe in just a minute.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: All right, school back in session, and this story just
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 2: made me smile, and I said, you know what, we're
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: gonna We're gonna tell the story because we need to smile.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: This happened at Bishop Kelly, which is a Catholic school,
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 2: and you know a lot of seniors. You know, they're traditions,
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: and a lot of schools have traditions, and they have
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: an interesting first day of school tradition at this school
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: in near the Kansas City area. I believe Bishop Kelly,
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: and I want you to listen to CBS News. They
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: did a great job telling the story of this really
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: heartwarming tradition. Cut number seven.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 11: For incoming freshmen here at Bishop Kelly High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 11: It's hard to imagine a more mortifying first day. All
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 11: the seniors surrounding your car and not letting you out
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 11: until you do one thing.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 23: We hold the car, We hold the car door, yeah,
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 23: preventing it from opening.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 21: It's like initiation, like we.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 15: All did it.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 11: Could you think of anything more embarrassing to initiate kids
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 11: in the high school.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 4: That's why it's perfect.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 11: What the freshmen are asked to do is just give
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 11: their mom a goodbye kiss. It can also be a
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 11: dad or guardian point is someone needs to be publicly
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 11: thanked with a peck on the cheek. Oh, the horror.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 11: How embarrassing was that.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: It starts stumping out of your chest.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 10: I'm not a very huggy.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 11: Person, but the kids all knew this was coming. In fact,
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 11: it's now a twenty six year tradition. Before this, the
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 11: seniors still greeted freshmen on day one, but back then
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 11: the welcome was a little more biting, more like pranks,
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 11: until the class of two thousand and one decided to
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 11: be kinder while also making the newbies feel just a
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 11: little bit uncomfortable.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 23: I mean, I wouldn't have wanted to kiss my mom
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 23: as a freshman.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 11: School president Sister Mary Hannah says she can relate to
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 11: the reluctance, but says that rule to honor thy mother
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 11: and father made the top ten list for a reason.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 23: And you know who the happiest people are in this
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 23: whole thing. Who the mother's There's a big moment for them,
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 23: especially as their first child or their last.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 5: Child, so emotional.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 13: I was crying yesterday and all morning, and she asked
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 13: me not to cry during the drop off, so I
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 13: think I did.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 16: The moment you drive off after dropping underscore is when
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 16: it hits you.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 21: Yes, he gave me that kiss and I saw him leave,
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 21: and that meant I have to let go.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 11: It is a passage, which is why here at Bishop
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 11: Kelly they celebrate that milestone, that sweet fleeting moment between
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 11: a parent and a child and a.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: Couple hundred screaming seniors. All right, I think that's pretty awesome.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, really so the rule is if you're a
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: freshman in your show up, when you show up on campus,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: the seniors around your mom's car and you cannot get
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: out of the car until you kiss your mom on
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: the cheek. Dylan, what did you do? Did that happen
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 2: to you when you were a freshman?
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 4: No, I went to public school. We didn't have any
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 4: fun traditions.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: What Parker, Parker went to a Christian school? Uh, Parker,
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: what did you guys do over at Briercrest.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 10: Now, we had some traditions, Todd, but nothing like that. No,
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 10: that's really creative.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's pretty cool. And the way the
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: kids all get into it, I mean, you know, they're
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 2: they're cheering on and uh, you know, having a good
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: time out there. But you know, the moms are like
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: after they drive away, they're pulling off to the side
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 2: of the road and they're like they're bawling their eyes out.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 10: It's like the best form of peer pressure I've ever seen.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: I was talking to our friends, the Real Housewives of Germantown,
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 2: and you know they had to send there. I mean,
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: I think all their almost all their kids are now
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 2: off to college somewhere. I wonder if they did that
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: or did they made the kid did they make the
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: kids at all university? Like, you know, it's a good
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: thing to ask. Speaking of that a completely different subject,
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: it is apparently the sororities in college and the fraternities.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 2: It's like that time of year over at the southern
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 2: schools and it is quite the scene out there. Yeah,
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 2: nobody's mom's getting kissed there. I'll tell you that much.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: All Right, got it, take a break, Hang tight. The
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 2: Great Angie Wong coming up next. All right, Welcome back, everybody,
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 2: This is the Todd Sterns Radio Show. Before we go
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 2: to our special guest, let's go to the phone lines.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: Joe from Ella j Georgia. Joe, what's on your mind?
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 2: All right, so we must be having a phone can
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 2: oh all right, well, well, hello Joe, are you there? Well, Joe,
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: we'll have to get back to you. My apologies there.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: In the meantime, we're watching a very big and weird
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: primary election across the state of Florida. May. I also
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: suggest that it is very ugly. As a matter of fact,
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: Speaker Mike Johnson weighing in on these anti Semitic attacks
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: being directed at Congressman Randy Fine. Even a hot team
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 2: Jefferies issued a statement condemning the ventriol. Let's go to
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: the Patriot Mobile news maker line and say hello to
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: our good friend, great Republican patriot, Angie Wong, Angie, good
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: to have you with us today.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 9: Hey Todd, thanks again for having me.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 2: So this one is a head scratcher. I mean, we've
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: got a lot of races, but I want to start
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 2: with this Randy Fine situation where he's facing anti Semitica
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 2: attacks remembers of his his own political party.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 9: It is so weird. I was just with Randy Fine
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 9: on Friday and he was showing us videos of these attacks.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 9: I mean, they've made ai generated photos making fun of
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 9: him being Jewish, making fun of him being you know,
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 9: heavy set, and it is disgusting. But that's I guess
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 9: the level that we're playing on right now, Todd, I
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 9: don't know where, like the statesmanhood kind of went away
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 9: and all these kind of high school tactics came in.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 15: You know.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 9: I was asking the question because Democrats love to say
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 9: that they're part of this big tent party that's really
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 9: inclusive of everybody.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 15: I mean, is this.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 9: Tent big enough for all this bigotry that we're seeing?
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 9: I mean, I was thinking to myself, if any of
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 9: these things were said in a different setting. Let's say
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 9: you were going anti Semitic or anti this group or
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 9: that group. If you said that in a corporation, you
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 9: said that in a school, you would be removed, you would.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 15: Be fired on the spot.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 9: But yet we allow this kind of red to happen
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 9: in the political atmosphere, and there's very little pushback. It
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 9: was only today the Hakim Jeffries, right before the Florida
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 9: primary election, comes out to say, oh, we can't have this.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 9: We're not anti Jewish, we're not anti Israel. It's really
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 9: weird that he waited for I guess, I don't know,
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 9: two three years when all these rhetorics started brewing up
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 9: to actually finally say, hey, the Democratic Party, we're not
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 9: part of this. Don't blame us, but it is his
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 9: fault because he's allowed this to happen for so long.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 9: So here we are, I mean, we're down to calling
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 9: people's names.
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about the gumbinatorial race here, which
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: has been wild. All indications, at least nationally, that Byron Donald,
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: who as the President's endorsement, is going to be the nominee.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 2: What say you, well.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 9: President Trump's endorsement is the gold standard in Florida, and
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 9: this one he got absolutely right. He came as soon
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 9: as Byron Donald's announced that he is running for the
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 9: governor of Florida, he immediately got Donald Trump's endorsement. And
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 9: that's because they've been great friends. We saw them back
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 9: in the convention. They've been working together forever. I've been
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 9: supporting Byron Donald since he was a little baby state rep.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 9: And to see him grow up to be possibly the
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 9: next governor of Florida makes me so happy because he's
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 9: just He's the perfect guy for the job, and I
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 9: think that President Trump sees the same. I'm not worried
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 9: about this race at all. In fact, we're seeing record
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 9: low turnouts here in Florida, like really record lows. It
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 9: was in the single digits last week Todd Now it's
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 9: round ten to fifteen percent, depending on the county, but
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 9: mainly because everyone knows that Byron Donald's is the foregone
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 9: conclusion on the Republican ticket, so a lot of people
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 9: didn't even bother coming out to vote because he was
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 9: pulling so far ahead of the other candidates. I don't
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 9: think the other candidates are even close. In fact, the
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 9: second runner up, so to speak, is Jay Collins, who
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 9: is our lieutenant governor, and even Ron DeSantis didn't endorse
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 9: him yet.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: I'm curious your take on the redistricting. This is going
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: to be the first time that voters are going to
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 2: the polls with the newly created districts. How is that
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 2: playing out.
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 15: It's kind of a mess.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 9: I got to tell you. I've been working with these candidates,
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 9: and we were working earlier or yea earlier in the year,
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 9: and we're preparing for these older districts, and the entire
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 9: map was thrown out. So the district that I'm watching
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 9: very very carefully is actually Florida twenty five. This is
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 9: going to be a lot of money is going to
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 9: be spent on this district. It might be the one
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 9: district that's going to determine the direction of the House
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 9: come next year, So I think this is definitely something
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 9: to watch. The Democrat ticket is really interesting because you
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 9: have a Democrat socialist running against Jared Moskowitz, who is
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 9: the Democrat incumbent in that district so to speak, even
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 9: though they're new lines, but this one's huge because Bernie
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 9: Sanders personally picked Oliver Larkin to run in this race
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 9: to topple the traditional Democrat establishment. So this is going
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 9: to be a lot of money spent here. Rashida Talib
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 9: was even here over the weekend and she threw an
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 9: invite only party for her dsa friends and it was
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 9: a packed house. So this district is going to be
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 9: so important. And one more thing to add about this district.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 9: Ron Emmanuel moved into the district last year, so we
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 9: know Democrats need this corridor between Palm Beach, Broward and
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 9: Miami if they're going to have any chance of winning
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 9: the White House in twenty twenty eight.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 15: So this is definitely the race to watch.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 2: Angie Wong joining us from Florida to talk about the
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 2: big election tomorrow, Angie. There was a survey done CBS News,
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: and it's very clear that the Democratic Socialists pretty much
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: control the Democrat Party now. Fifty eight percent asked about
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: socialism in the poll found a puzz did a view
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 2: of socialism? What do you make of that? Because certainly
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 2: these people, it seems as that they're going further and
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: further to the left, so they're not trying to find
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: any common ground at all.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 9: Well, you know, all the energy and donations is going
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 9: to the Democrats, Socialists, the far left arm I guess
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 9: of the Democratic Party. Now, the Democratic Party just had
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 9: their convention and they're saying, hey, let's get along, let's
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 9: find unity here. I don't see any unity whatsoever. I
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 9: see all the energy going to the very far left. Todd,
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 9: You know, I know you've been covering all the states
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 9: that Democrats Socialist candidates are infiltrating in. They had a
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 9: big win in Michigan. They were trying to take Wisconsin,
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 9: didn't really work out that way, but they've taken other states.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 9: If you notice what's going on with these states and
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 9: why we're covering them is because these are battleground states
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 9: for twenty twenty eight, and I can imagine AOC and
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 9: the DSA, you know leaders, they're all sitting around going
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 9: do we have the electoral math to actually have a
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 9: pathway to the White House in twenty twenty eight. That's
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 9: why we're focusing on all of these states home, even Maine,
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 9: and even here down in Florida. They don't necessarily need
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 9: a full win, but they need to see that DSA
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 9: candidates can get close enough to a win. So even
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 9: though Francesca Hong of Wisconsin, she failed to win that race,
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 9: she came within points of winning the governor's nomination for Democrats.
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 9: And I think that should scare the Democratic Traditional Party
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 9: right now, because you know, these DSA candidates, they're everywhere,
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 9: and it really is lining up all the pegs for
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 9: a DSA candidate to run for the White House. Right
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 9: after the midterms. That's when everything kicks off.
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: And buckle up because it is going to be fast
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 2: and furious after the midterms. Angie. Always great seeing you,
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 2: and we appreciate your great analysis. And tomorrow it'll be
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: a fun day in Florida.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 9: Long day in Florida, but looking forward to it. Yeah,
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 9: thank you, Todd.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: All right, Angie, take care Angie Wong, everybody and her analysis.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: Take that to the bank. It is very valuable. Indeed,
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 2: all right, we're going to take a quick break here, folks,
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 2: pay some bills. Our telephone number nine oh one two
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. Be sure to get
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 2: yourself a copy of The Golden Age How Trump Saved America.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: Very excited about by the early numbers coming out, and
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 2: we want to put this thing on the bestsellers list.
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 2: We'll be right back.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 16: Quiet, Quiet, you're very disrespectful in front of this young man.
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 9: Okay, don't you find her disrespectful?
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 3: You can't understands? Quiet? Who are you with? Fake news?
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 15: Fake news?
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 9: You're a loud, boisterous person. You faked.
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 3: Be quiet, be wiant. You're a fake reporter and you report.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 2: Fake Alright, Wow, that was President Trump. He's really he's
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: really perturbed, and rightfully so. The anchor at asking the question.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 2: Her name is Kristin Holmes. She is CNN's White House correspondent.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 2: She was in the Oval Office during a Q and
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 2: A with the President and the lifeguard kid, and they
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: were having a lovely conversation. The President really in a
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 2: good mood. The little boy was there who got saved.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 2: Then you had the sixteen year old lifeguard writer Williams
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 2: and their parents. There was just a great American moment.
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 2: And then the CNN anchors start screaming their questions at
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 2: the President, and the President said enough events, and it
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 2: just went on and on and on and anyway, the
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 2: President was rightfully upset about all of that, And good
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 2: for you, mister President, for telling the anchor at the
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 2: Lady Reporter to zip it. By the way, Texas Governor
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 2: Greg Abbott now confirming that there will not be any
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 2: Islamic foot washing stations at Texas airports. Cut number six.
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 24: Second, let's go back to be clear. I personally argued
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 24: that the Tin Commandment's case of a monument on the
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 24: Texas Capitol grounds to the United States Supreme Court and
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 24: one by making clear that the Ten Commandments were part
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 24: of the legal system and traditions of the state of
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 24: Texas from our beginning to who we are today, and
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 24: we are just teaching components of what made Texas history
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 24: what it is by the Ten Commandments such as dal
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 24: shalt not kill and other principles like that, whereas the
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 24: these other religious space they don't have the same application
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 24: over the course of the history of the State of
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 24: Texas and hence do not need to be recognized either
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 24: in our schools or on the Texas Capital ground like
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 24: other religions.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 9: Are you advocating that that existing foot washing station get
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 9: pulled out?
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 24: So both both for any proposed or any existing facilities
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 24: like that are simply unconstitutional and illegal. Let me explain
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 24: what I did here as well as what I've done before,
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 24: and that is, any Muslim only location like this, or
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 24: any Muslim only event in the State of Texas, we've
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 24: shut down. You cannot have a Muslim only washing station
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 24: in an airport, and before that, shut down a Muslim
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 24: only event in Grand Prairie, a Muslim only event at
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 24: school districts, and in various regions across the state of Texas,
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 24: because that is very simply illegal. One factor weighing in
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 24: here with the airport, and that is there are two
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 24: different parts of an airport, one of which is governed
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 24: by our local cities, the other which is governed by
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 24: the federal government here by Secretary Duffy. If it is
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 24: before you get to the tsa check in that's governed
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 24: by the city and the State of Texas is going
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 24: to crack down and eliminate funding for that city if
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 24: they don't comply with the standard that I've articulated. Once
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 24: a passenger gets inside the TSA checkpoint that is in
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 24: governed by the federal government and is a subject to
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 24: Secretary Duffy to make sure that they too crack down
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 24: on and eliminate these washing centers because they are in
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 24: violation of the United States Constitution.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 2: So why is the Governor of Texas coming out so
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 2: forcefully now? Well, it may have something to do with
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 2: something I wrote on social media, because all of this
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 2: the governor's statements came out not too long after something
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 2: I wrote on AX went viral. And here's what I wrote.
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 2: History will record that Texas fell to the Islamist under
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 2: the rule of Republicans. Let it be known that the
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 2: Republicans stood down and allowed the Islamists to overrun the
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 2: Lone Star state. The Republicans literally control every office and
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 2: state government and they've done nothing. And it's true, they haven't.
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: Look and I appreciate all the ones out there, the
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 2: Congress peoples that are out there condemning all of this,
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 2: but nothing is being done, and the time for talk
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 2: is over. The time for action has arrived, and now
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 2: you have a situation where you're at the airport, and Dylan,
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 2: you already know that. I mean, if you've been to
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 2: a bathroom at an airport, they're not exactly the you know,
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 2: it's not exactly BUCkies.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 4: No, nothing comes close to BUCkies.
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 2: No, No, it doesn't. So I'm just wondering. By the way,
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 2: apparently the reason they installed the foot washing things is
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 2: because they were using the sinks to wash their feet.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 4: Now that would be a sight to see, but.
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 2: The problem is, I mean they're putting their feet up
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 2: on the sink, which is where you have to put
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 2: your hands to wash your hands. And it just seems
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 2: to me, if you're gonna be at the airport, and
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 2: I don't care if you're muscle them or Christian or whatever,
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 2: and it just seems to me you should know whether
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 2: or not your feet are clean before you get to
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 2: the airport, because I don't want anybody's stinky feet in
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 2: the airplane. That's it.
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 4: It's almost as bad as Taco Bell before you.
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 2: Go meet or Bojangles. Yeah, it has a lingering odor.
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 4: Can we stop that? Can we stop doing that at airports?
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 2: So again, the fact of The matter is this has
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 2: been going on and the governor does nothing about it
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 2: until you know, we I put out this very pointed
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 2: statement over the weekend, and now all of a sudden,
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 2: the governor's jumping on board. I'm glad he is. But
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 2: the reality is is this going to I mean, that's
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 2: the thing. Apparently they were doing the same thing at
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 2: the airport in Orlando, So all these accommodations are being
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 2: made for the Muslims but not for the Christians. As
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 2: a matter of fact, in Dallas, we had the story
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 2: at Todd Stearns dot com. This is a couple of
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 2: months ago, and you had a preacher that went into
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 2: the chapel to pray and he was told, you can't
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 2: come in here because the Muslims are praying, you're not
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 2: allowed to be in here. Well, that's not how that works,
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, it's just not. So I'm just telling
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 2: you Texas, you better wake up and you better started
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 2: electing Republicans that have backbones here. Otherwise you're going to
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 2: completely overrun by the Islamist and that's not a good thing.
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 2: So again, Republicans, you control every major office in the state.
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 2: So why is it that you guys are allowing these
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 2: things to happen. That's all I'm asking about. But according
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 2: to the what Islamic law or tradition, you gotta wash
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 2: your feet before you pray. See as I'm glad, I'm not.
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 2: I'm glad we don't have that rule in the Baptist
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 2: faith tradition. That could get a little that could get
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 2: a little smelly. I'm just saying, I know my people.
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 2: So there you have it, once again, airports being caught
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 2: spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to provide things for
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 2: Muslim travelers that other travelers of other religions or no
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 2: religions are not being allowed access to. By the way,
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 2: I was watching what was it a Minneapolis where now
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 2: apparently they're they're hauling out their prayer rugs and they'll
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 2: just drop their rugs right in the middle of the
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 2: shopping mall and they'll start their prayers to you know,
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 2: to whoever this is happening in Minneapolis, the big mall
