• 1:28
  Speaker 6: And of course also want to walk up all of
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: the folks watching the Todd Stearns radio show on our
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: Facebook channel, Rumble channel, and of course our YouTube channel,
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: and we'll be dipping in during the commercial breaks to
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: some of those uh, to some of those platforms and
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: conversing with the many of you there. Well, a lot happening,
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: ladies and gentlemen across the country, were really around the world.
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: We understand now that the Vice president, we got this
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: word late yesterday, the Vice President is not going to
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: Switzerland app after all which there was. It's it's a mess.
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: It's a it's a great big mess right now. And
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: I truly believe that the President is going to get
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: this under control there that we really have no other
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: choice about the matter. But again jd. Vance will not
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: be going to Switzerland. The President going to going to
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: Camp David, which he has not done. I mean, this
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: is it's a very rare thing for the president to
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: spend the weekend at Camp David. But the President will
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: be at Camp David this weekend. So we're going to
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: keep you updated on this. Israel and Lebanon have been
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: going at it has Bala firing rockets. We understand there
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: may be some sort of a ceasefire, you know, on
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: that on that side of it. But the one thing
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: that really that we've got to get a handle on
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: is this idea that you have to have complete allegiance now,
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: so it does no matter what side of the it
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or a Republican. Both
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: parties now are demanding full and complete allegiance. And if
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: you if you don't believe, if you cannot affirm every
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: single thing that your guy or gal does, then that
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: makes you the enemy. And that's what's going on right
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: now in Trump world, is that anybody who may have
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: an issue with the way this has all been handled,
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: then all of a sudden, that makes you an enemy
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: of the president. And I just I completely reject that premise.
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: The other side of it is, well, if you if
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: you have a problem with Israel not listening to President Trump,
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: well that makes you a Jew hater. Well, no it
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: does not. I reject that premise as well. So we've
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: got to get a handle on all of this stuff.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: It is just simply out of control. Nine oh one
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: two six zero five nine two six zero telephone number,
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: write it down, that's nine oh one two six zero
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: five nine two six And promised we are going right
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: to the phones on this open line Friday. Let's say
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: hello to Johnny listening to us on Patriot Talk nine
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: to twenty in Houston, Texas. Johnny, what's on your mind today?
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: Oh, thanks cod for taking my call.
• 4:13
  Speaker 8: I wanted to talk to you about the IRN situation.
• 4:18
  Speaker 8: I believe I'm probably in the minority of conservatives on
• 4:24
  Speaker 8: my opinion of that situation, but I think the President
• 4:28
  Speaker 8: flew it, and that he told the Persian help.
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: Was on its way and they never came.
• 4:37
  Speaker 8: The help never showed up, and forty five thousand to
• 4:41
  Speaker 8: seventy five thousand.
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: Depending on who you want to.
• 4:43
  Speaker 8: Believe, Persians were murdered because they thought America was going
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: to backfill. Then I thank you blew it a second
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: time on that memorandum of understanding. If the final deal
• 4:58
  Speaker 8: reflect anything in that memorandum, it's going to be US
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: staying Trump funded I read, not Obama. And then there
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: could possibly be another one hundred thousand that I'm just
• 5:14
  Speaker 8: guessing there persons killed after the treaty or deal is
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: struck because there will be nothing restraining Iran, and I
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: am highly concerned about.
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: What it's going to do to us in midterm. We
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: already have Republicans predicting we're losing the House and the
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: way this thing is going.
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: Johnny, what do you want the president to do?
• 5:45
  Speaker 9: What?
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: What would you prefer that the president do with with
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: iron Well, I'd.
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: Have preferred he never opened his mouth.
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, yeah, but that yeah, that horse has left
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: the barn. That horse has left the bar. And so
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: what do you want him to do now? Be so
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: on everything that has happened.
• 6:04
  Speaker 8: He cannot allow Iran to reveal we should have went in.
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: And I am one guy who does not want boots
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: on the ground. I'm retired Air Force. But in this case,
• 6:20
  Speaker 8: because of the situation, how it developed, we should have
• 6:23
  Speaker 8: went in and finished the job because it's going to
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: be worse than it was.
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: Johnny. I look, I think there are probably a lot
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: of folks that agree with your assessment there. I will
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: say this now, the administration from day one said we
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: were not bombing anything except for the military sites. We
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: really weren't going after the infrastructure. My question at that
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: point is, Okay, if they're going to get this three
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: hundred billion dollars back and set aside for the fact,
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: who's gonna who's gonna be paying for that you know
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: where that money is coming from. Uh, the administration says
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: none of that is coming from US dollars. Okay, fine,
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: So Ron is still going to get three hundred billion dollars.
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: What are they going to use that money for? I mean,
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: if the if the infrastructure wasn't destroyed. In my thinking,
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: they're going to use that money to rebuild their their military,
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: their military bases. I mean, that's what that money is
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: going to go for.
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, it's going to be worse than it ever was.
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: All right, yeah, yeah, well.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: Yes it will be. Whether or not that is fair
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: or not remains to be seen. But right now, uh,
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: it seems to me the only clear option is just
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: to declare victory and get out of there. I mean,
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: I we I don't believe we've destroyed I don't believe
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: we've destroyed the nuclear capabilities. I don't believe that's that's
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: been achieaved.
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: And so didn't said either.
• 7:57
  Speaker 8: But they still have fragments for those that leave, enough
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: to break the blockade several occasions and shoot down our
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: aircraft on a couple of cases.
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: So yeah, all right, yeah, we got a bad phone
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: connection there, Johnny. I think the train may be interfering
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: with it. But thank you for calling. And again, you
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: know it's just I mean, the facts are the facts here.
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: You know, we we they say that we have completely
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: decimated Iran, we had total, complete, full air superiority, and
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: yet they're still firing missiles, They're still doing all of
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: this stuff even as we were declaring complete victory. So
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: I say, you know, if if this thing is supposed
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: to drag on, I think the memorandum of understanding, if
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: that ever, if that ever takes effect, we're looking at
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: least sixty more days. That is putting us right up
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: in the middle of campaign season, ladies and gentlemen, and
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: that does concern me, especially if things go south. So
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: my take on it is this decline player victory and
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: get out, bring our guys back home. Nine oh one
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: two six zero five nine two six. Is are a
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: telephone number? That's nine oh one two six zero five
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: nine to six. Here is the Vice President JD. Vance
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: cut number twelve. Please walk through some of this.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: The Iranians are saying that they're going to have access
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: to a three hundred million dollar reconstruction thought true or false?
• 9:26
  Speaker 10: Well, and that's the sort of thing they could have
• 9:29
  Speaker 10: access to funded by the Gulf Coast Coalition, so long
• 9:32
  Speaker 10: as they honor their into the obligation. I think that
• 9:35
  Speaker 10: one of the things you're going to see ED, and
• 9:36
  Speaker 10: people have to be skeptical of this, is that the
• 9:39
  Speaker 10: hardliners in the Iranian system will overemphasize the benefits that
• 9:43
  Speaker 10: Iran gets while underemphasizing all the things that they have
• 9:47
  Speaker 10: to concede and all the things they have to provide
• 9:50
  Speaker 10: in order to get these benefits. So we absolutely are
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: open to the Gulf Coast countries investing in the reconstruction
• 9:57
  Speaker 10: of Iran, but only if i Ran ends their nuclear program,
• 10:02
  Speaker 10: ends there enriched stockpile of material, and it's really open
• 10:05
  Speaker 10: to an inspections and enforcement regime that gives the American
• 10:09
  Speaker 10: people confidence they're never going to have a nuclear weapon.
• 10:11
  Speaker 10: So I think I think the dance you're going to
• 10:14
  Speaker 10: see ED, which is going to be interesting, is the
• 10:16
  Speaker 10: Iranian media, especially the hardline media.
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: They're going to talk a lot about.
• 10:20
  Speaker 10: What they get without talking about what they give.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: It's important for allow us to correct that record. All right,
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: there you go. So, I mean, you just heard the
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: vice president of there he's sort of hedging, didn't say yes,
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: didn't say no about the three hundred billion dollars. So
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: one of the things that is interesting is Marco Rubio.
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: In all of this, Mark Rubio is the Secretary of State.
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: It is Marco Rubio's job to be negotiating with all
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: of these other countries, and so the question is why
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: was he sidelined here. There is a working theory that
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: Rubio was a proponent of going in and bombing Iran
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: until they waved the flag of surrender. But clearly the
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: the JD Van side of the administration won the day,
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: which is now why it is all on Jdvans. As
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: a matter of fact, I think the argument, or the
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: terminology rather used was a gentleman's agreement. Well, that is,
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: you can't have you cannot have gentlemen agreements with countries
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: like Iran. You gotta get it all down on paper,
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: you gotta have it all signed, you gotta have it
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: all verified, you gotta get a notary republic. And even then,
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: I still trust the Arabians. Do you do you really
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: trust the Iranians? Do you really think they're gonna abide
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: by whatever agreement that is agreed upon? I don't think so.
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: All Right, we got to take a break here nine
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: oh one two six zero five nine two six hour
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: telephone umber coming up. More Europeans are discovering that the
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: mainstream media has been lying about America, and for me,
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: I think this is the best part about the the
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: FIFA World CP gotta take a break.
• 12:03
  Speaker 11: We'll be right back. Hey guys, quick, heads up. This
• 12:05
  Speaker 11: is actually a big one. We're saying goodbye to something
• 12:08
  Speaker 11: that's helped thousands of families over the years. The Patriot
• 12:11
  Speaker 11: Power Generator, one of the best selling solar generators of
• 12:14
  Speaker 11: twenty twenty five, is officially being retired, and the reason
• 12:19
  Speaker 11: they've just released something even better. It's called the Patriot
• 12:22
  Speaker 11: Power Generator two two zero zero X and this is
• 12:26
  Speaker 11: their most powerful model yet. It's built for real life situations, storms, outages,
• 12:32
  Speaker 11: emergencies when you need power the most. To launch it,
• 12:35
  Speaker 11: they're doing something pretty crazy right now. You can get
• 12:38
  Speaker 11: five hundred dollars off the generator. Plus they're including two
• 12:41
  Speaker 11: free solar panels, so you can double your charging power
• 12:45
  Speaker 11: right out of the box. They're also throwing in a
• 12:47
  Speaker 11: heavy duty roll in go kart, an extended three year warranty,
• 12:51
  Speaker 11: and if you're a senior or a veteran. You can
• 12:53
  Speaker 11: save an additional two hundred dollars. And here's the part
• 12:57
  Speaker 11: that really stands out, because they offer a payment plan.
• 13:01
  Speaker 11: You can get started today for just two hundred and
• 13:03
  Speaker 11: ninety nine dollars and its ships as soon as tomorrow.
• 13:07
  Speaker 11: But this is a limited launch offer. It's first come,
• 13:10
  Speaker 11: first served, and these kinds of deals don't stick around,
• 13:13
  Speaker 11: especially with how unpredictable power outages have been lately. So
• 13:17
  Speaker 11: if you've ever thought about having backup power for your home,
• 13:20
  Speaker 11: now's the time to do it. Stay safe, stay prepared,
• 13:24
  Speaker 11: and don't wait until the lights go out. Go to
• 13:26
  Speaker 11: starnsprepper dot com right now to take advantage of this
• 13:29
  Speaker 11: limited time offer.
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Touch Starts
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: Radio show. I just got a lovely message from one
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: of our listeners in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, and
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: this is from Judy and Judy says Hi Todd. We're
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: sick and tired of it all, and this is a
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: subject line. We want a heterosexual month, Judy says Todd.
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: We're sick and tired of all and some national holidays
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: that celebrate just about anything anymore. So we decided it's
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: time to celebrate heterosexuality month, might as well throw in
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: celibacy and monogamy with it. And there are multiple emojis here.
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: One is a thumbs up, the other is somebody laughing.
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: Another is a heart emoji, and then there's something there's
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: like an emoji with a halo.
• 14:28
  Speaker 12: Woman.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna have to google these? What do you think, Todd?
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: By the way, I also hear that you're the cousin
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: of one of my former physical therapists from Atlantic County,
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: New Jersey. Is that true? Yes, Judy, it is true.
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: Actually it's my uncle. My uncle Bill is a longtime
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: physical therapist there. So my mom's side of the family,
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: they're Yankees. We try not to tell people that, but
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: you know, it is, it is what it is. We
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: got to embrace our heritage. Nine oh one. By the way, Judy,
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: thank you so much for us sending us a note
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: and to thank you for listening to the program. Nine
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: oh one two six zero five nine two six. Is
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: our telephone over, that's nine oh one two six zero
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: five nine two six. Let's go to the phones Don
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: in Houston or on Patriot Talk nine to twenty. Don,
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: first of all, are you guys. Did you guys get
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: any of that tropical storm action?
• 15:19
  Speaker 12: Oh, we got a lot of it. We got more
• 15:22
  Speaker 12: than we wanted and guarantee you that.
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: Okay, but everybody's doing okay. You guys don't need a
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: rowboat or anything.
• 15:28
  Speaker 13: Like that, not at the current time.
• 15:32
  Speaker 12: But keep it handy.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yes, it's always good to have that during
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: hurricane season.
• 15:39
  Speaker 12: You better believe it.
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: All right, what's on your mind?
• 15:42
  Speaker 12: Don In the Navy, we carried a life raft with
• 15:46
  Speaker 12: us all the time because when you need it, you
• 15:49
  Speaker 12: need it.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: That's that's right.
• 15:53
  Speaker 12: Here's what I think. We have a president who's a
• 15:59
  Speaker 12: champaigned on and he does the heart of the deal,
• 16:03
  Speaker 12: but he's used to the American way, when like, in
• 16:06
  Speaker 12: the American way, a handshake was all you needed in
• 16:10
  Speaker 12: years past, and then we finally graduated it. You had
• 16:14
  Speaker 12: to be signed, they had to be a paper, okay.
• 16:18
  Speaker 12: But that was with people that honored the deal. Now
• 16:22
  Speaker 12: over in Iran, they don't necessarily honor the deal. They
• 16:28
  Speaker 12: will make all kinds of deals, but they will lie, lie, lie,
• 16:32
  Speaker 12: and cheap, cheap, cheap, and then deny, denign tone, so
• 16:37
  Speaker 12: you cannot make a deal with people that will not
• 16:40
  Speaker 12: honor the deal, and their word is worthless. They've proved
• 16:44
  Speaker 12: it over and over. So why do we continue to
• 16:48
  Speaker 12: try to make the deal with people that don't deal?
• 16:52
  Speaker 12: I don't understand. Just get it over with, take them
• 16:56
  Speaker 12: out done.
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: I think people are they're done, you know. I know
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: the President is trying to be gracious and maybe give
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: them a second, third, fourth, fifth, fifteenth, twenty, fifth, thirty
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: eighth chance. But the reality is Iran cannot be trusted.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: They cannot be trusted, they will not honor any agreements,
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: and honest to goodness, Don, my concern is that if
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: this continues to go on and gas prices do not

  Speaker 6: the Europeans.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, mostly the South, which is really good for
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: us because it shows our hospitality.
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: Well, we're a very friendly part. I mean, if you're
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: coming to America for the first time, you don't want
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: to go to Jersey. No, you don't want to go
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: to New York City. You want to go to waffle House.
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: That's what you want.
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: That's it you do. I want to play that. This
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: is a guy from Australia and he's in Florida right now,
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: and he's freaking out because everything they've heard about America
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: is that people, I guess were terrified to come here. Yeah,
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: because of the way I guess the national media has
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: been portraying, you know what it is, you know, what's
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: life like in America.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: I feel like I've been lied to my entire life
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: of America. Like, I mean, Florida, this beach is insane,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: like just as good as Australian beach did. But if
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: you log onto the news, everything's bad. Everyone's got blue hair,
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: everything's terrible.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: It's not.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: It's absolutely amazing. Are you kidding me?
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: He loves it.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, who would have thought Florida Beach could you know,
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: be appealing to an Australian. That's that's great.
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: So unfortunately, there was a guy from the UK and
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: he decided to make a little side trip to Memphis
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: and he found himself in a pretty rough part of town,
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: and he filmed all of this and he said, out
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: of all of his visits to America, Memphis was the
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: most ghetto. He just, yeah, I'm in Uncle Loose, Uncle
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: Lou's eating the fried chicken, and oh my, there's a
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: black man with a god.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: That's the exact video that you were describing exactly what
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: he what he.
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: Said, seems to me this is quite ghetto.
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: He didn't come to Germantown at all.
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: He didn't know. He didn't go to the Pink Palace
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: or the lymphis Zou. He wasn't even on Field Street.
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: Tello Avice, Am I being wrong?
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: You shut me?
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: Oh what is this? I'd like a three piece chicken
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: with a scone, please.
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: You know it's funny he was eating he called it
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: a scone, But it's like a chicken biscuit that he
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: used ranch. He dipped it in ranch.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: That's it, you know he did dip it in Yes, absolutely.
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: It's they don't have it over there.
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: Do people actually even put ranch on their salad anymore?
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: I mean it's it goes on everything now, I think
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: except salad.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, is that even the best dressing anymore?
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: Now you have Thousand Island and all the other ones
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: that I don't use.
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: It's a fair point, and let's go to can we
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: bring Edwin into the conversation. Edwin is listening to us

  Speaker 6: Here's another trivia question. I'm gonna this is a great
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: trivia question. Actually, all right, Todd Stearns, that's me. I've
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: written nine books. One of the book covers was actually inspired,
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: believe it or not, by the logo of the Ranch
• 30:58

• 31:04
  Speaker 6: you name the book? Can you name the book that
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: was inspired the cover was inspired by the Rand Salad Dressing?
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: Give us a call. Nine oh one two six zero
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: five nine two six. That's nine oh one two six
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: zero five nine two six. All right, let's go to
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: the phone lines here Memphis, Tennessee. A person named Taxpayer
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: wants to weigh and Hello, taxpayer, how are you?
• 31:27
  Speaker 17: Yeah? Hey, how you doing missus stars?
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: I'm doing well. I hope you're doing well? Taxpayer?
• 31:32
  Speaker 18: Yo?
• 31:32
  Speaker 17: What I'm trying to hang in there?
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: What can I do for you today? What's on your mind?
• 31:38
  Speaker 12: Well?
• 31:38
  Speaker 17: You know, I call uh in regards to this agreement
• 31:41
  Speaker 17: that there was out between uh Trump and uh, those Iranians,
• 31:48
  Speaker 17: And you know, I just think that disagreement is not
• 31:51
  Speaker 17: in the best interest of this of this country, you know.
• 31:54
  Speaker 17: And so I think what they what should be done,
• 31:58
  Speaker 17: is they Trump shouldn't uh, they should encourage mister Trump
• 32:04
  Speaker 17: to call the closed door meetings with members of all
• 32:07
  Speaker 17: three chambers the Senate, House of Representatives and Congress and
• 32:12
  Speaker 17: just let the members of all three chambers voice their
• 32:16
  Speaker 17: opinion about this agreement, because I don't think that everybody's
• 32:19
  Speaker 17: on the same page in regards to this agreement. And
• 32:23
  Speaker 17: I just think that, you know, three hundred billion dollars
• 32:27
  Speaker 17: is just a bit too much, you know, to be
• 32:29
  Speaker 17: sending and and and I think not not to say
• 32:32
  Speaker 17: that they shouldn't rebuild over in that region because I
• 32:36
  Speaker 17: think that they should rebuild. But you know, to to
• 32:40
  Speaker 17: you know, head over three hundred billion dollars to these people,
• 32:43
  Speaker 17: it's just a bit too much. So maybe they should
• 32:46
  Speaker 17: call a closed door meeting, uh and get the members
• 32:49
  Speaker 17: of all three chambers to actually VORs their opinions about that,
• 32:54
  Speaker 17: about the agreement.
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: Well, let me jump in here, because this is not
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: a bad idea you have here, And just a couple
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: of things though. There are two chambers. You've got the
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: House and the Senate, and then together they make up
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: the Congress as a whole. So you've got the two
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: chambers they are and I will tell you, taxpayer, the
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: big problem here. I mean, we know how the Democrats
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: that all the Democrats are opposed to whatever Trump does. Now,
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: it doesn't matter what side Trump decides to do, they're
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: always going to be opposed to it. The issue here
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: is you've got a big divide right now within the
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: Republican Party and that's the that's the sticking point. So
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: I think getting you know, getting Congress involved may not
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: necessarily be a bad idea. But I will let me
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: ask you this, that three hundred billion dollars. You really
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: think Iron's going to use that money to build back
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: grocery stores and schools. I don't think so.
• 33:45
  Speaker 17: I don't. I don't think so either. And you know,
• 33:47
  Speaker 17: if given the opportunity, I think that these people would
• 33:51
  Speaker 17: go go through and having a nuclear bomb developed, is
• 33:54
  Speaker 17: if they ever got the chance, And I don't think
• 33:58
  Speaker 17: that they're They've stick to their promises. And if and
• 34:02
  Speaker 17: this money that's being handled handed over to these people,
• 34:06
  Speaker 17: they should monitor that money and make sure that it
• 34:10
  Speaker 17: goes to where they're sending over to these people for
• 34:13
  Speaker 17: And so I don't know if they If if the
• 34:16
  Speaker 17: Iranians ever get it, get a chance to have a
• 34:19
  Speaker 17: bomb to doup, they probably don't have it having it done.
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: A thousand or one thousand percent right there before we
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: let you go to taxpayer. Uh, just curious. We were
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: talking about Uncle Lows. Have you have you been to

  Speaker 12: Uh?
• 34:34
  Speaker 17: This first time I heard about the restaurant. So I'm so,
• 34:38

• 34:40
  Speaker 17: been built here in the missu.
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: I think Uncle has been a round for a while.
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: I you know people are going off on they like Gusses.
• 34:48
  Speaker 19: You know.

  Speaker 14: having me.
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, so you and I we met and at
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: some campaign event somewhere, and I'm like, immediately, I like.
• 40:28
  Speaker 14: This lady, right back at you.
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: So you've been uh, you've been plugged into politics for
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: How did you get How did you get involved in politics?
• 40:37
  Speaker 14: I lived in DC for thirteen years and didn't really
• 40:40
  Speaker 14: pay attention to it, And when I moved back home,
• 40:42
  Speaker 14: I was enlightened and just was seeing what was going
• 40:45
  Speaker 14: on in our country. And immediately I've always voted Republican
• 40:50
  Speaker 14: and became more passionate about it, seeing how the Democratic
• 40:54
  Speaker 14: Party is trying to eradicate the Western civilization.
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: I mean, and we had a we've I think, had
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: a front row view of that, you know, living here
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: in Memphis, which is a blue city controlled by Democrats,
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: and it really didn't matter how bad things got, they
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: kept voting Democrat. It's very tribal, it's it's insane. And
• 41:16
  Speaker 6: yet then along comes Donald Trump. And this is I
• 41:18
  Speaker 6: think for me, one of the things I loved about
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: Donald Trump and still do is the guy says, what
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: do you have to lose, you know, give me a chance.
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: He made all these promises and he delivered on the promises.
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: And I'm curious, you know, your support of Donald Trump.
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: You know what did that look like?
• 41:35
  Speaker 14: I've voted for him for three times and I plan
• 41:37
  Speaker 14: on voting for him one more time.
• 41:38
  Speaker 12: Ha ha.
• 41:41
  Speaker 14: Everything he says he does, he's he's got charisma, he's
• 41:45
  Speaker 14: got strength. You don't mess with him. He's a straight shooter.
• 41:48
  Speaker 14: If he don't like something, he's gonna call it like
• 41:51
  Speaker 14: it is. And he is strong and he's exactly what
• 41:54
  Speaker 14: our country needed.
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: When when you see Rachel the you know here in
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: Memphis with the Safe Task Force over ten thousand arrest.
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: I know that your family is very prominent here in
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: the business community, in the business world. What has that
• 42:10
  Speaker 6: What is that done for the business community? Having the
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: National Guard, having the federal officers here, well.
• 42:16
  Speaker 14: Thank god they're here, first of all, and let's thank
• 42:20
  Speaker 14: Marsha Blackburn, our great senator soon to be governor. And
• 42:24
  Speaker 14: on the feet here on the here we have Tyrese
• 42:28
  Speaker 14: Miller who is head US Marshall of Western Tennessee, and
• 42:32
  Speaker 14: he does an amazing job executing all of this huge operation.
• 42:36
  Speaker 14: So we are so lucky to have people that actually
• 42:39
  Speaker 14: are holding people accountable. People feel safe. You don't have
• 42:43
  Speaker 14: to be scared to walk around downtown. But there are
• 42:46
  Speaker 14: still problems. But our task force is on.
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: It, no doubt about that. You know when you mentioned
• 42:51
  Speaker 6: that you lived in Washington, and I was. When I
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: was at Fine ex U's, I would take the train
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: down and have to work out of the Bureau which
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: is right across from Union Station, and it was like
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: walking into I like New Deli or something, just like
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: a third world country. And Trump comes in. Any other
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: Democrat president could have fixed this. Any one of them
• 43:09
  Speaker 6: could have but they just refused trying. I think they
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: like to live in filth and squalor. And long comes
• 43:15
  Speaker 6: Trump and he cleans everything up, and the guy catches
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: Holy hell for it.
• 43:19
  Speaker 14: And now they're talking. Point of the day is there's
• 43:21
  Speaker 14: algae in the reflecting pool. It's like, guys, we have
• 43:24
  Speaker 14: so many bigger fish to fry. Algae grows in heat.
• 43:27
  Speaker 6: What do you expect?
• 43:28
  Speaker 14: They just try to find anything to be mad about
• 43:31
  Speaker 14: with Trump, you.
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: Know, Speaking of the Democrats, I want to listen and
• 43:34
  Speaker 6: Seenn there is there's a new survey out there regarding Democrats. Parker.
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: Let's play cut thirty two plays.
• 43:44
  Speaker 22: Okay, what about this idea? Are you proud to be
• 43:47
  Speaker 22: an American?
• 43:47
  Speaker 5: Extremely?
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: Or very proud to be an American? Again?
• 43:51
  Speaker 22: Look at this divide, a growing divide on this question.
• 43:55
  Speaker 22: Back in January two thousand and one, ninety percent of
• 43:58
  Speaker 22: Republicans eighty five percent of Democrats. This was after a
• 44:01
  Speaker 22: very contentious two thousand election. Keep in mind, right with
• 44:04
  Speaker 22: George W. Bush coming into the White House, you come over.
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: To this side of the screen. In twenty twenty.
• 44:08
  Speaker 22: Six, look at this again, the Democratic percentage absolutely plummets
• 44:13
  Speaker 22: to just twenty nine percent of Democrats say they're extremely
• 44:17
  Speaker 22: are very proud to be an American. That Republican percentage
• 44:19
  Speaker 22: the exact same ninety and ninety the Democratic percentage.
• 44:23
  Speaker 6: What is that?
• 44:24
  Speaker 22: That's basically a third of the level that it was
• 44:27
  Speaker 22: just twenty five years So.
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: I think if that was Harry Intons from seeing and
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: got to cut down on the caffeine and Rachel. But
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: what do you make of that? This is insane? Only
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: twenty nine percent of Democrats say they're very proud to
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: be an American.
• 44:41
  Speaker 14: I think they should leave. We don't need people that
• 44:43
  Speaker 14: don't like America to live here. It's insane that you
• 44:47
  Speaker 14: wouldn't be proud to be an American.
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: You've got a party that and they do. They hate us.
• 44:54
  Speaker 6: And I know Barack Hussein Obama, I don't know if
• 44:56
  Speaker 6: you saw any of this. Yesterday they officially dedicated the
• 44:59
  Speaker 6: we call it the garbage can well you call it
• 45:01
  Speaker 6: the garbage like that, we call it the Obama Presidential
• 45:04
  Speaker 6: death Star. You had Obama out there, and I want
• 45:07
  Speaker 6: you to listen to how he described our Founding Fathers
• 45:10
  Speaker 6: cut forty seven place union.
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: The Founders fell terribly short of the declarations promise, leading
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: slavery in time, allowing states to restrict the franchise to
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: white men.
• 45:24
  Speaker 19: Who owned property.
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: Okay, but in drafting a constitution Parker. So again with
• 45:31
  Speaker 6: this guy, it's always going back and hating on America.
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: Doesn't want to talk about the fact about how many
• 45:37
  Speaker 6: white guys lost their lives fighting so that the black
• 45:41
  Speaker 6: men could be free in this country.
• 45:43
  Speaker 14: Who freed the slaves? Republicans, That's it. He's awful.
• 45:49
  Speaker 6: I mean, again, going back to the nineteen sixties, who
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: wasn't that founded the kk That was the Democrats who
• 45:55
  Speaker 6: founded the KKK. It was the Democrats who stood in
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: the way the civil rights movement. It was the Democrats
• 46:03
  Speaker 6: who kept black kids out of the universities and the
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: public schools. It was the Republicans who stepped in Eisenhower
• 46:09
  Speaker 6: sending in the National Guard so little rock arkansaw, it
• 46:13
  Speaker 6: was the Republicans who stood up for the black man
• 46:15
  Speaker 6: and the black woman in America. He hates America, and
• 46:19
  Speaker 6: it's sad. I mean, it's really sad. We've got to
• 46:22
  Speaker 6: that point. You know, you're looking at the and we're
• 46:25
  Speaker 6: honored to have with us Rachel Bells here in studio. Rachel,
• 46:28
  Speaker 6: We've got the midterm elections coming up, and I'm curious,
• 46:31
  Speaker 6: what are some of the issues you think are going
• 46:33
  Speaker 6: to be on the minds of voters. What are some
• 46:35
  Speaker 6: of the issues you're concerned about.
• 46:37
  Speaker 14: I think for the voters, the issues are going to
• 46:38
  Speaker 14: be the economy. It's always the economy, gas prices. Hopefully
• 46:42
  Speaker 14: everything will come down, and God willing, everything is settled
• 46:46
  Speaker 14: in Iran. I'm not sure you can trust Iran, but
• 46:50
  Speaker 14: hopefully everything will be settled and people see that prices
• 46:54
  Speaker 14: are going to come down. And if you look at
• 46:56
  Speaker 14: the people running on the Democratic side in the mid terms,
• 47:00
  Speaker 14: you have Abdul l Sayed of Michigan, who Adam Hamawi
• 47:09
  Speaker 14: of New Jersey, who was linked to the terrorists that
• 47:15
  Speaker 14: wanted to bomb the World Trade centers in nineteen ninety
• 47:17
  Speaker 14: three and then volunteered with al Qaeda. This is their platform.
• 47:22
  Speaker 14: And then you have Grand Platner with a Nazi tattoo.
• 47:27
  Speaker 6: It's insane when you know one of the things that
• 47:30
  Speaker 6: and this this is a very underreported story, but you mentioned,
• 47:34
  Speaker 6: you know those two Muslim candidates. Here you are watching
• 47:37
  Speaker 6: the Islamis taking over the Democrat party. Blank, the blanks
• 47:40
  Speaker 6: are no longer or about to be no longer in
• 47:43
  Speaker 6: control of the Democrat Party. This will be an Islamis party, and.
• 47:46
  Speaker 14: I'm hoping that the African American votes will shift right
• 47:50
  Speaker 14: because these values don't represent Western civilization at all.
• 47:55
  Speaker 6: What do you think we need to do though, as
• 47:56
  Speaker 6: a party, as Republicans to reach out to, for example,
• 47:59
  Speaker 6: my communities. I mean Memphis is a great example of that,
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: one of the largest black cities in America. How do
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: we take that message to the black community.
• 48:08
  Speaker 14: There's somehow you've got they've been brainwashed and they've been
• 48:12
  Speaker 14: conditioned to stay in that pocket that they're in and
• 48:16
  Speaker 14: not to speak up because when you speak up, they're
• 48:19
  Speaker 14: going to say, oh, you're so bad. We have a
• 48:21
  Speaker 14: great mayor running on the Republican side here in Shelby County,
• 48:25
  Speaker 14: John de Berry for Shelby County Mayor, and he has
• 48:30
  Speaker 14: a great platform and he used to be a Democrat.
• 48:34
  Speaker 6: It's a great point. And you know, even here in Memphis,
• 48:37
  Speaker 6: where the Republican Party was founded by very wealthy black
• 48:42
  Speaker 6: men back in the nineteen twenties, that we're not getting
• 48:45
  Speaker 6: that story out to young people so that they know
• 48:49
  Speaker 6: that who the Republicans really are and what the Republicans
• 48:52
  Speaker 6: really stand for.
• 48:53
  Speaker 14: I think the Democrats like their constituents to be locked
• 48:58
  Speaker 14: in this tight box, and if they think otherwise, they're
• 49:00
  Speaker 14: gonna kick them out and ostracize them. They don't believe
• 49:04
  Speaker 14: in opinions except for what they believe in.
• 49:06
  Speaker 6: It's a fair point, by the way. I just want
• 49:09
  Speaker 6: to go back to it. Did I hear that you
• 49:10
  Speaker 6: you worked at CNN, just very briefly? Is that true?
• 49:13
  Speaker 14: I had a little internship.
• 49:14
  Speaker 6: Oh my god.
• 49:15
  Speaker 14: I left the next day.
• 49:17
  Speaker 6: It was that bad.
• 49:19
  Speaker 14: I didn't like it. I don't like tones hearing. So
• 49:21
  Speaker 14: bring me some coffee. I need my own show. Guys,
• 49:24
  Speaker 14: I'm not bringing you a cup of coffee.
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: I love it. You know, they should have put you
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: in the air. That's that's how that should have gone
• 49:31
  Speaker 6: to that there. Oh my goodness. All right, Well, let's
• 49:33
  Speaker 6: talk Memphis, because I get every now and again, the
• 49:36
  Speaker 6: guy that heads up the Memphis tourism Buwer says, Starr
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: As you're killing me. You've got to stop talking about
• 49:41
  Speaker 6: people getting shot of bes. You got to talk about
• 49:43
  Speaker 6: good stuff. So I said, okay, Kevin Kane, I said,
• 49:46
  Speaker 6: all right, Kevin, I will do this is what is
• 49:49
  Speaker 6: something cool that people maybe they don't know about in Memphis,
• 49:52
  Speaker 6: but they need to know about.
• 49:54
  Speaker 14: I'll tell you one really positive thing that Memphis has
• 49:58
  Speaker 14: is Keenan Walker, the duck mass at the Peabody Hotel.
• 50:01
  Speaker 14: Have you ever seen him? Yes, Okay, he's the most
• 50:05
  Speaker 14: positive just he's amazing. He is strength and positivity and
• 50:11
  Speaker 14: sends such a beautiful message to everybody every day. And
• 50:14
  Speaker 14: he's so passionate about what he does and how he
• 50:17
  Speaker 14: touches people's lives. He goes to Laban or Children's Hospital
• 50:20
  Speaker 14: or Saint Jude and anything he can do to send
• 50:23
  Speaker 14: a message of positivity to people. He's a star here
• 50:27
  Speaker 14: and I think he's amazing.
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: We were up on the Starnings family. We do our
• 50:32
  Speaker 6: big holiday dinners at the Peabody and then afterwards we
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: go up to the rooftop for our family photos. And
• 50:39
  Speaker 6: I think it was for Easter. We were up there
• 50:41
  Speaker 6: and he was We met him and he was teaching
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: a young girl. She had her mom and dad there
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: and he was teaching this young girl how to be
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: a duck master and walk the ducks. And they were
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: practicing and we had to step out of the way
• 50:54
  Speaker 6: for the ducks of course, but you're right. I mean,
• 50:56
  Speaker 6: this guy was such a great ambassador, not just for
• 50:59
  Speaker 6: the hotel, but I also think for Memphis.
• 51:01
  Speaker 14: Absolutely, he's just positive.
• 51:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's amazing. Those ducks very impressive.
• 51:06
  Speaker 14: They're smart.
• 51:07
  Speaker 6: I got to be a duck master. Did I ever
• 51:09
  Speaker 6: tell you this? So I have been a duck master,
• 51:12
  Speaker 6: and my family thought that was more important than getting
• 51:14
  Speaker 6: hired at Fox News Channel.
• 51:16
  Speaker 14: So that's funny. Timber Chet was the duck master here
• 51:20
  Speaker 14: when during the Lincoln Day. He loved it.
• 51:22
  Speaker 6: It was great. He didn't do a good job as
• 51:24
  Speaker 6: I did, though, but it was really it came close.
• 51:27
  Speaker 14: Y'all should have a walk off and see who can
• 51:29
  Speaker 14: pull it off better.
• 51:30
  Speaker 6: That's it. No, I still have downstairs. I think I
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: still have my duck cane. So it's a great cane
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: and you can also use that as a weapon if dB.
• 51:38
  Speaker 6: You know, if you get car jacks, you might hear
• 51:40
  Speaker 6: in Memphis. I'm sorry, Kevin Kane, Rachel Bells, it's great
• 51:45
  Speaker 6: to see you. We're gonna get you back in. I

  Speaker 14: on the line to help us. And recently a couple
• 53:25
  Speaker 14: of weeks ago, I sponsored another meal. Tyrese Miller helped
• 53:29
  Speaker 14: me organize it and he's the best. So we had
• 53:34
  Speaker 14: another meal for the guards and the police, and everybody
• 53:38
  Speaker 14: is so grateful just to be shown the gratitude. It
• 53:42
  Speaker 14: really leaves a mark on them too. So if you
• 53:45
  Speaker 14: show them good, they deserve it.
• 53:47
  Speaker 6: It's I was at the Italian Festival and came across
• 53:52
  Speaker 6: the five or six you know National guardsman just wandering
• 53:55
  Speaker 6: around and checking things out, and stopped and said hello,
• 53:58
  Speaker 6: and they were just they were talking about how friendly
• 54:01
  Speaker 6: the people of Memphis have been and how welcoming they
• 54:03
  Speaker 6: have been. And I think that made me surprise, folks,
• 54:06
  Speaker 6: but that's really kind of who we are just as
• 54:08
  Speaker 6: a as.
• 54:09
  Speaker 14: A city southern hospitality. Yeah, one of the National guards said, yeah,

  Speaker 4: I love that.
• 54:19
  Speaker 6: I love that. You know, when you see we've been
• 54:21
  Speaker 6: talking a lot about the all the Europeans coming over
• 54:24
  Speaker 6: and just being fascinated by America. And we had the
• 54:28
  Speaker 6: Australian we were playing the Australian who was in Florida
• 54:31
  Speaker 6: and he said when he came to the country, he thought,
• 54:33
  Speaker 6: based on the news coverage, he was coming into a
• 54:36
  Speaker 6: war zone, when in fact it's a pretty darn nice
• 54:39
  Speaker 6: place to live.
• 54:40
  Speaker 14: It is. It's amazing how our mainstream media makes America
• 54:44
  Speaker 14: look like the worst place in the world. It is
• 54:46
  Speaker 14: the best place in the world, and we have so
• 54:48
  Speaker 14: many opportunities here.
• 54:50
  Speaker 6: Completely completely agree with that. All right, Rainchel, we're going
• 54:54

• 54:59
  Speaker 6: stir up a stink.

  Speaker 6: Coming up. Nine oh one two six zero five nine
• 57:07
  Speaker 6: two six. This is the Todd Starting Show. Parker turned
• 57:26
  Speaker 6: your microphone on. I have a question to ask you.
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: Go for it.
• 57:30
  Speaker 6: So there's a new study out from a CBS News.
• 57:33
  Speaker 6: They're saying that summer job, the summer jobs market for
• 57:36
  Speaker 6: teenagers is more competitive than usual. And I'm wondering, do
• 57:42
  Speaker 6: you have a did you have a summer job? Well,
• 57:44
  Speaker 6: actually you do have a summer job. You're working for us,
• 57:47
  Speaker 6: But you have multiple summer jobs.
• 57:50
  Speaker 12: I do.
• 57:50
  Speaker 23: I stay very busy this summer part of them all right, school,
• 57:55
  Speaker 23: so that doesn't that much of a job. But yes,
• 57:58
  Speaker 23: I think it's I think that's study is very true.
• 58:01
  Speaker 23: I've seen that with a lot of my friends in
• 58:02
  Speaker 23: the stress to get internships very competitive in that market.
• 58:07
  Speaker 6: I mean, there's actually a story that says eager to
• 58:10
  Speaker 6: work teens find a frustrating summer job searge and there's
• 58:15
  Speaker 6: a lack of entry level positions and that seems to
• 58:18
  Speaker 6: be a big problem. They're saying, this is the lowest
• 58:21
  Speaker 6: summer hiring total for teenagers since nineteen forty eight.
• 58:25
  Speaker 23: It's unbelievable. I think you've seen how like most of
• 58:28
  Speaker 23: these intial positions nowadays are still requiring experience. So it's
• 58:33
  Speaker 23: hard for those college kids just to get a quick
• 58:36
  Speaker 23: summer job so they can make some money before they
• 58:38
  Speaker 23: go back to school.
• 58:39
  Speaker 6: And I'm wondering if maybe a lot of these positions
• 58:41
  Speaker 6: are actually being held by maybe even older adults who
• 58:43
  Speaker 6: are just having a hard time finding jobs, definitely could
• 58:46
  Speaker 6: be the case that could be. All Right, well, thank you.
• 58:49
  Speaker 6: Let's bring in our good buddy, Joe Messina from Santa Clarita, California. Joe,
• 58:53
  Speaker 6: hope you're doing well today.
• 58:56
  Speaker 24: I'm doing fine. Nice little break from our one hundred
• 58:59
  Speaker 24: degree whether.
• 58:59
  Speaker 6: It's great, Joe, we were just talking about this, this
• 59:04
  Speaker 6: study that and these reports that teenagers are really having
• 59:09
  Speaker 6: a difficult time finding summer jobs, these entry level jobs.
• 59:14
  Speaker 6: You know, I remember back when I was a kid,
• 59:16
  Speaker 6: you know, Gosh, as soon as I you know, I
• 59:18
  Speaker 6: think I was like twelve or thirteen, my dad said,
• 59:21
  Speaker 6: got to get a summer job. What was that like
• 59:23
  Speaker 6: for you?
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 59:25
  Speaker 24: You know what's funny, you should say that same thing.
• 59:27
  Speaker 24: I helped the guy mowing lawns, you know, doing outside
• 59:30
  Speaker 24: gardening work in the summer.
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: Growing up in Boston. That wasn't that hard. So I
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: made some be some money as a kid. And then
• 59:38
  Speaker 4: when I got a little older.
• 59:39
  Speaker 24: You talked about twelve thirteen, When I got closer to
• 59:41
  Speaker 24: fifteen sixteen, I actually worked for a car dealer, being
• 59:45
  Speaker 24: the locked boy, which is you're the kid that keeps
• 59:47
  Speaker 24: the cars cleaned and washed and making sure they're ready
• 59:50
  Speaker 24: to be taken out for a test drive with gas
• 59:52
  Speaker 24: and all that other fun stuff.
• 59:53
  Speaker 6: Well, that sounds like that would have been a fun job.
• 59:56
  Speaker 24: It was great because when you went to go get gas.
• 59:59
  Speaker 24: Remember this was the seventies, I could be gone for
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 24: an hour to get it. Take a guess, I don't
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 24: all boss. I just had to sit in line for
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 24: an hour, you know, with my girl playing a car.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 4: It was okay. I didn't mind, no problem at all.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 6: According to according to the federal numbers here, about a
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 6: third of sixteen to nineteen year olds in the oaths
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 6: were employed last summer. I am shocked it was that low.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 6: That's according to federal data, which was down from a
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 6: peak of about sixty percent in the late nineteen seventies.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 6: So that's when you and I were probably you know,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 6: get getting summer jobs back in the day. And they
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 6: say that it's just a lot of these kids are frustrated.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 6: I'm wondering. I mean, you know, maybe this is a
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 6: great opportunity for a kid to become an entrepreneur. Go
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 6: out there and maybe start their own little business.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 24: You know, I agree with you, but you know, you
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 24: know that I'm on a school board. I get to
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 24: talk to a lot of these young kids. They seem
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 24: to overvalue themselves, if you know what I mean. At times,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 24: and even with summer jobs, they're they're looking for a
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 24: specific job, a specific way, at a specific pay scale.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 24: Now in my community, as you know, I lived near
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 24: Magic Mountain in southern California, and they just surge in
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 24: the summertime with young people. They'll hire you know, three,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 24: four or five hundred kids at part time work so
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 24: they don't have to give them all the benefits. But
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 24: LA as a whole is we've got California as a whole,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 24: we still have the highest unemployment rate in the country.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 6: I do wonder coolest jobs in America though, and I
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 6: think I think the It seems to me if you
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 6: were working at an amusement park, that would be at
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 6: least at face value, that would be like a really
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 6: fun job or like what you were doing, you know,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 6: gassing up cars and driving around picking up hot chicks
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 6: in Boston.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 24: Think about those days I got to drive four Thunderbirds,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 24: Broncos all that fun.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 4: So it was cool. It was really cool.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 6: That was Yeah. So I'm curious to hear from our
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 6: audience if you had a super cool job for the summer,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 6: give us a called nine oh one two six zero
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 6: five nine two six. That's nine oh one two six
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 6: zero five nine two six, Joe. There's an interesting story
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 6: up on the Washington Examiner. California's billionaire tax qualifies for
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 6: the ballot, setting up what is expected to be a
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 6: pretty costly fight. You guys are gonna have one heck
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 6: of an election this year.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 12: Oh.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 24: If you think New York has got it bad right now,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 24: wait till that thing takes in five percent. For anybody
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 24: has over a billion, you know, a billion dollars, they've
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 24: already lost if you think about it. The founders of
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 24: Google a gone. Uh you know what's day. Zuckerberg's gone.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 24: All the biggies have already left the state for Florida
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 24: or Texas. I don't know how much more money we
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 24: could use. And they just raised the they just put
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 24: the budget together and they're looking they raised the budget
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 24: by billions of dollars.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 24: You know, Newsom says, hey, we're gonna make the budget
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 24: this and we're gonna we perceive this is what we're
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 24: going to bring in in taxes. It's you know, Todd,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 24: we all have friends as as our careers move. While
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 24: we get friends for areas. I've got friends in the legislature.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 24: And what they're telling me is that Newsome the head
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 24: of the of the Senate or yeah, the head of
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 24: the Senate and the head of the Assembly. Here the
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 24: three of them get together and they put the budget together.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 24: It's not really put out as a team effort.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: And the legislators just vote on it. Period. That's what
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: Newsom wants, that's what he gets.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 6: So again, when you look at all of these things
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 6: and if in fact it passes, you're gonna have just
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 6: yet another mass exodus of billionaires leaving, packing up and
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 6: heading out of California. And this is not rocket science.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 24: And you know what's really funny is what people don't understand.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 24: You know this is that once the billionaires leave, because
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 24: they're paying the biggest portion of taxes in this state,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 24: where is that going to fall?
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: What's that going to trickle down to?
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 24: They're going to be higher gas, ac hir, income tax, hire,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 24: payroll taxes. We're gonna get nailed on this one. The
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 24: quote quote average Joe, and I don't think. I mean,
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 24: people are running around. It's beautiful that they gave it
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 24: that title, isn't it todd the billionaire tax? So everybody's
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 24: running around the average? So yeah, yeah, they deserve to
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 24: pay more. They need to pay more kind of thing.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 24: Wait till it hits them.
• 1:04:21

  Speaker 25: used to pick night crawlers at night, and I'd fish
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 25: for catfish during the days, and in the morning i'd
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 25: sell my nightcrawlers, and all during the day I'd sell
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 25: my catfish for twenty cents a pound and my night
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 25: crawlers three dozen fifty cents. And I always had a
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 25: lot of money, and it was very cool, so entrepreneurial,

  Speaker 18: are the easiest ones to catch. They were just kind
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 18: of sleepy, and the guy's side was sleepy. The woman's
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 18: side was complaining.

  Speaker 6: opportunity to win some great prizes from the Todd Stearns
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 6: radio Show. CNN is now running wall to wall investigation
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 6: and allocating hours of news coverage to a major scandal
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 6: brewing in Washington, d C. What is the scandal that
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 6: CNN is covering? Is it the illegal alien who was
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 6: arrested the ringleader of the catastrophic terrorist attack on the
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 6: White House. Is it b the return of algae to
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 6: the reflecting pool on the Washington Mall? Or is it
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 6: c minority contractors who say they have not been paid
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 6: for millions of dollars in work on the Obama presidential
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 6: death Star? What is the scandalous news that CNN is covering?
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 6: Give us a call if you know the answer. Nine
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 6: oh one two six zero five nine two six. That's
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 6: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 6: This is the Todd starn Show. All right, welcome back, everybody.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 6: Let's go to the phone line to your Pat in Gainesville, Georgia. Pat,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 6: hope you're doing well today. What's on your mind?
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 26: Yes, I think President Trump needs to go in and
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 26: finish up the job and not worry about peace talk
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 26: until it.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 8: Gets the job done.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 17: If he doesn't know.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 26: Where the news are, I'm sure Israel does, and if
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 26: they don't, then we need to put trackers in hasbeloved
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 26: turbans and find out and finish it up and get
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 26: out of there.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 6: Pat. I have never I have not heard this idea,
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 6: and I like it. So you're saying, put some sort
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 6: of a tracking device inside the turbans of the Islamist Yes, Pat,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 6: it's a brilliant idea. I love this idea. So then
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 6: you can have them on like and you know they've
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 6: got like all these little computer screens. You can probably
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 6: just track them on a smartphone and then direct the
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 6: bombs to wherever the turbanes end up. There you go, Pat,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 6: we need you inside, We need you inside the White House.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 6: I think we can put you on the President's National
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 6: security team.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 26: I don't know about that, but it just seems like
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 26: I'm there.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 5: Pat.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 6: You're absolutely right, and I think that's at the end
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 6: of the day. That's all anybody is concerned about. We
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 6: don't want Iran to have access to nuclear weapons because
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 6: once they do, they will use them against either Israel
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 6: or the United States or both of us. And I
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 6: don't want anybody getting blown up by a nuke, no.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 26: Because it's going to destroy the entire plan it. Whether
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 26: people realize that or not, even if their country didn't
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 26: get hit, the follow out is going to destroy the atmosphere.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 6: Pat, it's a it's a great it's a great thought
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 6: you have. It's a valid concern you have, and let's
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 6: just hope that and look, I trust the president. I
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 6: don't trust the people around the president, but I do
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 6: trust the president. Pat. God, God bless you, and thank
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 6: you for listening to WDUN. Great people there. Let's go
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 6: to Mike in clear Lake City, Texas on Patriot Talk
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 6: nine to twenty.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 8: A lot of.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 6: Houston area callers today, Mike, what's on your mind?
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 13: Well, a great show as usual, Todd. I wanted to
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 13: put a plug in for Michael Wilson. You interviewed him
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 13: last week. When you're the Republican you know proceedings here
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 13: in Texas. I'll listen to him on nine to twenty
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 13: Patriot Talk here in Houston. Whenever I can that you
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 13: need to have him as a guest host sometime that
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 13: guy is off the hook.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 6: Well, we like Michael Wilson and he did a terrific
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 6: job and he's got a great, great show there on
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 6: Patriot Talk nine to twenty. I hear that the numbers
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 6: are just phenomenal with the numbers of people listening to it.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 13: Yes, and the other they are. And I want to
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 13: ask you a question now that hopefully this Iran deal
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 13: is over, we can put all this behind us. Are
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 13: we going to get back to America first? And by
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 13: that I mean are we going to abolish the Department
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 13: of Education? Are we going to permanently defund plan Parenthood
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 13: in PR and so forth? Are we going to get
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 13: the Save Act pass? Are we going to defund all
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 13: these universities and have billions of dollars in the downments
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 13: but you're still receiving taxpayer money and so on?
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 6: Mike, I think we may have lost Mike there, But Mike,
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 6: I think that everything you just said is so accurate.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 6: We have defunded MPR and PBS, so that's good news.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 6: The Corporation for Public Broadcasting But as you and I
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 6: were speaking, I literally just got an email from the
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 6: White House and this is what they're saying, And this
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 6: was literally just a few seconds ago. President Trump's Iran
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 6: Agreement is America First in action, and the White House
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 6: now officially announcing that the President and Vice President have
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 6: secured an historic breakthrough by signing the Memorandum of Understanding
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 6: with Iran, Forged through decisive American strength, The agreement insures
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 6: iron will never obtain a nuclear weapon, reopens the Straight
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 6: of Horor, moves to free navigation, and puts America first,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 6: rejecting this failed politics of appeasement, cash payoffs, and endless
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 6: wars that have weakened the United States for decades. So
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 6: there you have it, ladies and gentlemen, that is the
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 6: official position now of the White House that the Iran
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 6: Agreement is America First in action. So we're going to
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 6: take your calls on this coming up. We're going to
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 6: be talking a little bit later on with Jackson Heberlin,
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 6: who is a great young political influencer. You've seen him
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 6: on my Newsmack Show quite a bit, So we're excited
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 6: to have Jackson joining us. In just a little while.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 6: Our number nine oh one two six zero five, nine
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 6: two six Open Line Friday. That's nine oh one two
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 6: six zero five to nine two six. This is the
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 6: Todd Sterns Show.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch's.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 6: Starts. You know, it's interesting about the about the Democrats
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 6: when you know they're out there accusing Trump of being
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 6: a king, and they've got the No King's protest, and
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 6: you've probably seen these gaggles, these large, smelly gaggles of
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 6: morbidly obese women, many of them wearing the wearing the
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 6: the purple hair, the magenta hair, and they have the big, thick,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 6: oversized glasses, and they're wearing these pants. I don't know
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 6: what you call them, but the pants, the the cuff
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 6: of the jeans or the slacks, they there they rise
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 6: above the ankles. So you see there, their bloated, kinkily ankles.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 6: It's just it's not a good look. And I don't
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 6: mean to paint with a broad brush, but you have
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 6: to because they're really large. And so there they are,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 6: and they're on these corners and the overpasses of America,
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 6: and they're holding the signs that say Noel Kings, and
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 6: a lot of them are old and they've got their
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 6: little they can even hold signs. So they've got their
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 6: signs taped to their walkers or in some cases they're
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 6: in wheelchairs, and they're they're saying that Trump wants to
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 6: become a dictator, that Trump, that Trump thinks he's God,
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 6: when in fact, of course known of that is true.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 6: And so then yesterday we had the we had the
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 6: celebration of the dedication of the Obama Presidential Death Star
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 6: in Chicago, and the people were literally worshiping Barack who
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 6: saying Obama, as a matter of fact, this is nothing new,
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 6: they called him Chicago Jesus. I mean, people truly thought
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 6: that Barack back Obama was some sort of a deity.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 6: As a matter of fact, back during his time in office,
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 6: they were selling nativity scenes that had Barack and Michelle Obama,
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 6: and you know, they portrayed them as Joseph and Mary
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 6: and Jesus. They had Barack Houssein Obama prayer shawls. People
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 6: were literally writing hymns and songs about Barack Obama as
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 6: if he were some sort of a deity. And so
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 6: that brings me to Abby Philip from CNN last night
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 6: suggesting that the Obama Presidential death star is actually a
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 6: church cut forty six.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: The Obama Presidential Center is officially open. All four other
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: living former presidents and first ladies attending the opening ceremonies
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: on the South side of Chicago today along with a
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: number of celebrities. President Obama took the podium and encouraged
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: Americans not to lose face in each other and to
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: remember that collective voices and how we treat each other matters.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: Forgetting that fact, he says, only gives power to those
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: trying to divide us. Well a given now, after all
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: this country's been through, the cynicism and division.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 6: Would be a betrayal of our family audience.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 22: And I remained convinced that the overwhelming majority of Americans
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 22: feel the same way.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: Since in Masis was like church for liberals. It was
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: everybody was dressed in their Sunday finance and sitting in
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: the pews, and he was delivering a message not just
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: about that, but also actually there was a lot of
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: contrast happening about Trump in the remarks from him, and
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: I'll play some a little bit later from Michelle.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 6: Obona the church for liberals, that's what she said. A
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 6: church for liberals, ladies and gentlemen. That was a church
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 6: for Satan, is what that was? Satan? Anyway, what a
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 6: mess that is? Nine oh one two six zero five
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 6: nine two six. Let's go to Houston, Texas. A lot
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 6: of Houston callers today, Gregory listening to us on Patriot
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 6: Talk nine twenty. Hi Gregory, what's on your mind? Well?
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 20: Hi Todd, I listen to your show on nine nine
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 20: nine fifty every day, and I want to know how
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 20: America is going to be sure. Yeah, Iran doesn't start
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 20: making a nuclear weapon somehow somewhere that we don't know about.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 6: Gregory. I think the answer to that question is we can't.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 6: I don't see how we could.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 20: Well, then I told us signing a piece of paper
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 20: is really worthless.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 6: It would certainly appear that way, would it not go?
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 6: I mean, do you trust him, Gregory? Would you trust
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 6: the Ayatolas?
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 3: Not?
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 20: As far as I can pick them up and.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 6: Throw them, I didn't think, so, Yeah, I'm with you
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 6: on this. I do not trust them.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 20: So we have to have a method away that we
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 20: can be able to make certain that they don't make
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 20: a move to their weapons, because we know they won't one,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 20: and we know that if we turn our back to them,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 20: they'll make one.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 6: I have absolutely no doubt about that. And the only
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 6: thing I can imagine is that we're using the money.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 6: Maybe is like remember the dangling the carrot and the stick,
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 6: and maybe that's what we're trying to do here. And
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 6: you know, if they violate the order, we're going to
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 6: turn the stick, you know, and just knock him up
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 6: beside the head with it. But again, I just and
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 6: I don't think. Look, do you really think that President
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 6: Trump trust the eye tools? I don't think he does.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: No, I don't.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 20: And I also think that as long as we were
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 20: over there, we should have with our military, we should
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 20: have taken out everything. We should have eliminated any possibility
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 20: that they could do anything militarily or or or build
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 20: some sort of bomb. Just destroy it, take it out.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 20: That's what we should have. We should have finished to
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 20: finished the job.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 6: Gregory. A lot of people don't agree with me on this,
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 6: but remember back when Georgia H. W. Bush went in
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 6: and you know we had to fight for you know,
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 6: we had to kick the Iraqis out of Kuwait. Remember
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 6: that the person go for. Yes, I felt like we
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 6: should have taken over the oil fields then and then
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 6: after what they did to us with nine to eleven,
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 6: even though there were no weapons of mass destruction, after
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 6: we took a rock, I think we should have taken
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 6: over the oil fields. And now here we are, and
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 6: you know, there is all this talk about carg Island
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 6: and taking over all. I don't think we're gonna do it.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 6: I say we go in, we conquer these people and
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 6: take what we can.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 20: That's right, all right, make it make a deal one
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 20: and and what is this bullcorn? About three hundred billion dollars?
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 8: Come on?
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well we'll see how that plays out, but we
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 6: need to be watching that money long term. I just
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 6: want to make sure no palettes are involved. So, Gregory,
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 6: thank you for the call. We've been educated it. We've
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 6: learned about worm sex and bull corn. Today, I feel
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 6: like I'm a smarter man, ladies and gentlemen. Nine oh
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 6: one two six zero five nine two six our number.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 6: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 6: six Parker. It is uh, it's Father's Day coming up Sunday.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 6: It is Do you have a gift for your dad?
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 23: You know, it's give me a different Father's Day. My
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 23: dad's actually going out of town for work on Father's Day?
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 6: Is that right?
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 23: He has to leave Sunday morning, So that's your excuse,
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 23: though you're not going to get any gift. We were
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 23: actually supposed to go play golf yesterday.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 5: Oh the rain?
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 6: Did you pay for it? Thad? I was going to Okay,
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 6: So that's good, all right if we have the chance
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 6: to play, all right. So look, I think that's a
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 6: great gift. Yes, I think your dad would appreciate a
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 6: good golf game as opposed to a tie.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 23: Exactly. Yeah, those are the two ideas I had, well,
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 23: you know, for a gift card.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 6: You know, father, the dad's always get. And I hate
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 6: to bring the I hate to bring this up. I
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 6: know you're you're dating a lovely young lady and you
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 6: may be getting hitched who knows down the road. But
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 6: I hate to break this to you, but Father's Day
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 6: the dads always get. They kind of get jilted, they
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 6: really do.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 23: I feel I can get the mother's I think it's
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 23: marketed a lot better than Father's Day does.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 6: And I haven't figured out why the moms get all
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 6: the great stuff, right, and then the dads.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 23: It's like I see the question going around every year
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 23: on this time, like what's the what's the male equivalent
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 23: of flowers? I think that's a great question.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 6: Right, A cigar?
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 23: Maybe a cigar? I've heard golf balls asn't answer.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 6: Oh, golf balls. Okay, maybe we should open that up
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 6: and we should ask people what are some cool Father's
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 6: Day gifts dads that you would like? What are so
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 6: we don't need the ladies on this one. It's the guys, guys,
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 6: what do you what do you want? Because you know,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 6: the ladies, my husband would love high tea at the
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 6: Peabody Hotel, at the shape Philip with the little cucumber
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 6: sandwich is I don't think that's a guy's thing.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 23: You might like that, but your husband might not.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 6: Your your husband's probably not gonna like it. So anyway, guys,
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 6: give us a what do you think a cool and
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 6: because ladies, Yet, we've got to up the game here.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 6: You gotta up the game when it comes to Father's Day.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 6: That's all there is to it. So uh nine oh
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 6: one two six zero five dined two six are a
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 6: telephone over? That's nine oh one two six zero five
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 6: nine two six. Also, if you only give your dad
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 6: a shout out. You know, it's interesting. A lot of
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 6: people think, oh, it's Hallmark. Hallmark actually created the Father's
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 6: Day event, and actually it's not true. And actually Father's
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 6: Day was actually birthed in in a church house. And
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 6: there are two stories that sort of combine combined that
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 6: actually gave us Father's Day. One of them was back
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 6: in nineteen ten Spokane, Washington, where you had a woman
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 6: by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd, and she's basically
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 6: credited with driving Father's Day into the national consciousness. But
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 6: a few years earlier in West Virginia, there was a horrible,
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 6: horrible tragedy. Three hundred and sixty one men were killed
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 6: in a mining accident and they were honored. Those fathers
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 6: were actually honored during a church service at a at
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 6: an Episcopal church there in West Virginia. So those two
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 6: stories combined sort of brought us the modern day what
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 6: we now known as Father's Day. By the way, we
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 6: do have a trivia question as we go to break
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 6: and we are looking for those really super cool Father's
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 6: Day gifts. And here is the question. Which President signed
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 6: signed the proclamation declaring permanently that the third Sunday in
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 6: June would be Father's Day? Which US president did that?
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 4: Was it?
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 6: Was it Millard Fillmore? Was it FDR? Or was it
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 6: Richard Nixon? The president who permanently made Father's Day a holiday?
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 6: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 6: our number, that's nine oh one two six zero five
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 6: nine two six. This is the Todd Sterns Show. And

• 1:30:56
  Speaker 16: Duck Dynasty and they had the Phil Robertson Bible in

• 1:31:05
  Speaker 16: Robertson boys autograph it and make it out to the dad.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 16: The second idea is a good bottle of limited edition
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 16: Kentucky or Jack Daniels, which is Maine, Tennessee, a good
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 16: bottle of bourbon or, and included in that is a

• 1:31:33
  Speaker 6: Oh I like that, So yeah, the cigars, and we
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 6: call it Tennessee sipping whiskey down here in the in
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 6: the volunteer stage.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 5: So I like that.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 16: Well, just like I said, dad deserve it. And so

• 1:31:57
  Speaker 6: ideas and thank you for that. And I would I

  Speaker 6: would throw my book into the mix on that absolutely well.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 6: I don't know if it's priceless, but that's very kind
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 6: of you. Still make a pretty cool gift though, all right,
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 6: Pastor John. Always good to hear from you, sir, thank
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 6: you for calling you. Speaking of cigars, Parker, I'm curious
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 6: to hear your thoughts on this story is that of
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 6: Massachusetts cigars, a canceled lacrosse season, and the scandal rocking
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 6: of Massachusetts town. So the there's a lacrosse team. I
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 6: never could understand lacrosse. All I know is you run
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 6: around with sticks and you beat people. Is that pretty
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 6: much lacrosse to an extent. I played it for a
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 6: year and it was by far the most complicated sport
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 6: I play. Oh you did.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 23: I played it in middle school and it was fun,
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 23: but it definitely as complicated.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we never could figure it out. The little Stearns's
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 6: who are about your age? Uh, yeah, they're out there
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 6: and that we were like, we're watching and we're trying
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 6: to we don't know what we were cheering for. It's
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 6: hard to know what you're watching it first, Well, the
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 6: lacrosse tea, were you guys pretty good?
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 8: We were good?
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, but you were middle school. I was
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 6: see you weren't smoking cigars exactly. Okay, So anyway, the
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 6: high school team they're in ip It's called Ipswich, Massachusetts,
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 6: ip Switch High School. Their lacrosse team. They won, and
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 6: the boys gathered on a beach to celebrate their first
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 6: of all their high school graduation, and some of them
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 6: had their medals draped over their black gowns, and they
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 6: all had cigars. The photo was taken on June the seventh,
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 6: and it mirrored those snapped all around the country lately.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 6: That's a big thing now, all the high school kids graduating,
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 6: they got the cigars. But in this coastal enclave, dubbed
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 6: America's best preserved Puritan town, those snapshots have led a
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 6: burning debate. Six of the graduates were on Ipswich's high
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 6: school lacrosse team, and administrators suspended all six from a
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 6: playoff game because they violated rules against Tobacco us. I'm
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 6: gonna tell you more about the story coming up next.

• 1:34:47
  Speaker 6: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 6: I want to bring into the conversation one of my
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 6: favorite gen Z political influencers. I don't know if I've
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 6: ever said this, Jackson Jackson Heberlin joining us today on
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 6: the show. I think this is your debut on the
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 6: radio show. Jackson, welcome.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 19: Thank you so much for having me Todd. That's super nice.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 19: I really appreciate it.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 6: No, you you are a may I just say you
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 6: were bold and fearless. And folks, if you're not following
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 6: this guy on the socials on Instagram and are you
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 6: are you on TikTok too or just Instagram.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 9: I'm on TikTok, But TikTok isn't very nice to me.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 9: They don't like people like me, but go I'm mainly
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 9: on Instagram.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 6: I can't imagine why Jackson. I just can't figure that
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 6: one out. Jackson.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 4: I think I'm too controversial for Tea just a smidge.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 6: But Jackson loves to debate liberals, and I just think
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 6: it's really very entertaining. And one of the things I'm
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 6: really impressed by is that you just come armed with
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 6: the facts, Jackson, and I think that really triggers the
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 6: other side.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 19: Yeah, I definitely think so.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 9: A lot of the problem with the right is that
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 9: most people who want to get into debate want to
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 9: just do it for like clips, because they really just
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 9: care about getting a clip where a liberal gets mad
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 9: and then they can post that and that's all good
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 9: and fun. Like I get it, because that's what makes
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 9: the money. But for me, I really care about having
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 9: like an academic experience because when I was younger, I
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 9: was a Democrat.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 19: When if I was very young, people don't know.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 9: This, but a lot of the reason was because I
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 9: was a kid growing up who was into science and
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 9: all this stuff, and so when I wanted to watch
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 9: a political debate, the smart guy was the Democrat. And
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 9: the problem isn't that the Democrats had a better ideology.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 9: The problem is that Republicans when I was younger, a
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 9: lot of them didn't bring the heat when it came
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 9: to facts. So now that I have the opportunity, I
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 9: care a lot about showing up with the right information
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 9: to represent the side to the full extent.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 6: I'm wondering if there's any one particular liberal that you
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 6: like to debate on a regular basis where you've enjoyed,
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 6: you know, talking to.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 9: Yeah, my favorite liberal to debate has definitely been Destiny
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 9: Stephen Bannell. He's I think he's the most famous left
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 9: wing debater currently, but he's a streamer and he's controversial.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 9: He said a lot of things that I don't agree with,
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 9: but he's an extremely intelligent guy.
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 19: And it's always a big.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 9: Big challenge when I'm debating Destiny. There's always a lot
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 9: of preparation involved. I get a little bit of the
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 9: forehead sweat like I used to when I got started,
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 9: So it feels good to have a real challenge, and
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 9: Destiny always brings a challenge.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 5: You see.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 6: This is what I love and I know on our
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 6: TV side, and you show up on our NEWSMAC show
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 6: quite a bit and I'll tell the team, guys, you
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 6: gotta give me a liberal. I want to just just
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 6: have me on air with with a liberal. And the
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 6: problem Jackson the liberals they find by the time I'm
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 6: finished interviewing them, they've like switched over to become Republicans.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 6: And I'm like, where's the fun in that?
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I definitely listen if you want some liberals. I've
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 9: got some liberals who will stay liberal for you. I've
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 9: debated them for hours and they're still liberal.
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 6: I mean, look, I'm all about converting. I just you know,
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 6: it just doesn't make for good TV. You know, you
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 6: gotta be a little you gotta have a little bit
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 6: of a feistiness on air.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 19: So exactly that happens in debate.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 9: It's the same thing with some Republicans, Like I'll I've
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 9: done debates where I'll, you know, bring a bunch of
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 9: Republicans to event and I'll debate with them and by
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 9: the end of the debate they're like, yeah, I hate
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 9: Trump And like, dude, you came in like the other team.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 19: You got to stay on your side. I mean, it's
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 19: like they don't know what they believe half the time.
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 6: Exactly. Before we get any further, Jackson, I want you
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 6: to give our give our listeners a little idea of
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 6: where you're from, what you do, and what you're what
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 6: you're studying in school.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 19: Well, totally.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 3: So.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 9: I originally grew up in West Virginia, and then I
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 9: moved to South Carolina, like around middle school time, and
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 9: so I went to Clemson University. I got really involved
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 9: in the student activism there. From then, I got very
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 9: involved in a scandal where we had some producers who
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 9: supported Charlie Kirk's assassination. And so after that happened, I started,
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 9: you know, going around news stations to try and explain
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 9: our story, and I figured out that I felt like
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 9: I was pretty decent at it. I started doing debates
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 9: to try and fill the gap that Charlie Kirk left,
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 9: and from there that kind of became a lot of
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 9: what I do now. But I was originally in political science,
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 9: but now I'm doing journalism. Actually I just switched, which
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 9: was I think your advice too, So I appreciate that.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 6: Well, look, I know we saw the original story when
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 6: you guys came under attack there at the university, and
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 6: that's that's how you ended up on our program. And
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 6: we're just so excited, you know, to give you a
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 6: platform and let you weigh in on the issues and
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 6: really give a gen Z perspective to a lot of
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 6: the issues. I know, you and Ryan Leonard and of
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 6: course Ryan from NYU pretty much in the same boat.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 6: So it's been fun to see, you know, a new
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 6: generation of conservatives, you know, coming up and being bold
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 6: and unafraid to talk about the issues of the day.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 20: You know.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 6: I'm curious about South Carolina though, Man, the Republican Party
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 6: in that state is just really messed up right now,
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 6: and I think it's symbolic of maybe the fights that
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 6: are being had across the nation within the Republican Party.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 19: It absolutely is so symbolic.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 9: I mean, I can say this like not to talk
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 9: too much trash here, but like I I've met so
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 9: we have our big governor race coming up, and I've
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 9: met every candidate for the governor race, and I honestly
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 9: liked all of them except for the front runner, now,
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 9: Pamela Evan. I thought she was clearly a business candidate.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 9: I don't think she's very America first, I don't think
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 9: she represents the twenty sixteen Trump agenda. And it's just
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 9: terrible because it feels like in South Carolina we're constantly
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 9: getting the worst of our options. I mean, we had
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 9: McMaster and as governor for a long time, and I
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 9: personally wasn't two two against him, but the people didn't
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 9: love him for a while. But now we're getting McMaster's
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 9: lieutenant governor and then McMaster juniors and talks of being
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 9: the new lieutenant governor. And it's like in South Carolina,
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 9: there's the incumbent advantage is so strong that when someone
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 9: gets into office, they'll be here for the rest of
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 9: their lives, no matter who likes them and who doesn't,
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 9: because people just want to vote for the safe option.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 9: I mean, look at Lindsay Graham, what's his approval rates like?
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 9: But we're he's coming back.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 6: No doubt about it. And we had his opponent, Mark Lynch,
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 6: who was came on the show several times like the
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 6: eye as a businessman, and you know, I think he
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 6: mounted a pretty valiant effort there. But at the end
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 6: of the day, you know, the Republicans are going to
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 6: fall in line, and that's exactly what they.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 9: Did exactly, and Mark represents a true grassroots politician. Like
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 9: once again, I don't think the guy's perfect, but I
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 9: spoke to him, you know, personally, just me and him talking,
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 9: and he believes everything he says. He means what he says,
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 9: and he has reasons for believing it. And to me,
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 9: that's like, you know, I would rather any day someone
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 9: who I disagree with but agrees but like really believes
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 9: what they say than someone who I think is frankly deceitful.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 9: And you know, I don't know Lindseingram myself, but for
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 9: me personally, I find it hard to believe that he
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 9: truly believes a lot of the things that he says.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 6: We have Jackson Hebrew and with us. He is a
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 6: great political influencer, loves to debate the liberals, and we
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 6: love that. Jackson. There is a crazy story out of Massachusetts.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 6: We were just talking about it before the break Ipswich
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 6: High School. You've got a bunch of lacrosse players. They
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 6: took a picture together after high school graduation and six
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 6: there were the look ross payers were all smoking cigars
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 6: and the school came in. They suspended a lot of
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 6: the kids who were not graduating and said they violated
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 6: the tobacco policy of the school. Apparently there's been some
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 6: sort of a massive investigation over what seems to me
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 6: to be a pretty darn innocuous photo of a bunch
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 6: of guys being guys smoking cigars.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 19: You know, I'm happy you agree because I didn't want
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 19: to get too controversial.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 9: But I'm saying it depends on the age, right, if
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 9: it's a freshman, like, okay, you probably shouldn't be smoking
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 9: a cigar and victory if you're a freshman. But if
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 9: you're a senior graduating high school or yeah, graduating high
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 9: school and you're smoking a cigar with your buddies one time, like,
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 9: I don't see, I don't see.
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 19: The harm in that.
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 9: I mean that was normal behavior, like what like was
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 9: that was totally just common like forty years ago.
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 19: But now that's you know, you're getting suspended for that.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 19: I mean it's crazy.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 6: Well let me and let me say this is what
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 6: is more unhealthy? Is it smoking the cigar or getting
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 6: beat upside the head by a lacrosse stick. I think
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 6: the argument could be made here that you know, go
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 6: ahead and smoke them if you got them boys.
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 19: Yeah, I agree, that I couldn't do lacrosse, but I
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 19: mean a cigar, I could handle that at least.
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 6: So here's here's the funny thing. So now the argument
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 6: was the parents, the parents, this is sort of funny.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 6: So the parents were saying, oh, okay, they weren't real cigars,
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 6: that they were actually fake cigars. But there was a
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 6: problem Jackson. Apparently the school district found subsequent photos of
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 6: the of the guys that holding cigars that have been
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 6: pretty much all the way smoked through. So you gotta
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 6: you can't be taking pictures and putting them on social media.
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 6: It's gonna it's gonna come back and haunt you every
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 6: single time.
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 19: Yeah, I can say that.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 9: Listen, if you're smoking cigars with your buddies in celebration,
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 9: don't post the photo. I know it may be a
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 9: cool photo, but it's not worth it worth.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 6: Oh boy, Hey, by the way, are you a big
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 6: World Cup guy? A soccer guy? FIFA?
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 9: See this is embarrassing, But I don't watch any sports
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 9: at all. I'm kind of a nerd. I just I
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 9: grew up never being into sports like that, you know,
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 9: and I want to get into it. But my buddies
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 9: are all super excited. So I pretend a little bit,
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 9: I act like I know what's happening.
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 6: Our producer, Parker is just like I just heard him shouting,
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 6: what what what do you mean? You don't do sports?
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 9: I know, it's honestly the most embarrassing thing ever. But
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 9: but where I grew up, like, I played baseball, I
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 9: played basketball. I just I mean, yeah, I think I
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 9: grew up in rural West Virginia, so there weren't really
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 9: any big teams to get excited about.
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 19: Maybe that's a lot of it.
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 6: No, but you got a great baseball when you got
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 6: the Are they still the world, Parker? You're our sports guy.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 6: Are the West Virginia eliminated?
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 23: Made it to the semi finals?
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 6: Oh geez?
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 23: They eliminated MoMA in North Carolina in the championship.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 6: Oh man, Well they did a great job getting there.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 6: I mean, it was a great season for your guys
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 6: in West Virginia. There, Jackson and they were singing the
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 6: Country Road song.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 9: The hard part is so I grew up in like
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 9: really southwest West Virginia, so like almost Ohio. And so
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 9: when you look at like a WVU, that's like, I mean,
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 9: I grew up four hours from WVU, So it's almost
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 9: like a whole different a whole different state to me.
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 6: Gotcha. All right, Well all that to say, I just
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 6: wanted to get your thoughts on all these soccer fans
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 6: coming over from other countries and man, they love America.
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 19: Yeah, they really do.
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 9: I mean a lot of these people, especially if you're
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 9: from South America, really do love America. Because you know,
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 9: I think one thing is a lot of these people
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 9: from these countries, it's not like the people who are
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 9: coming from, you know, places like a Haiti, who viewed
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 9: as an opportunity. A lot of these people understand that
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 9: America is like a place where opportunities are made. They're
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 9: hardworking people, and you gotta think people who can afford
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 9: to take vacations to watch a soccer game. I mean
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 9: most of my buddies, myself included, it would be pretty
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 9: expensive to even just see a World Cup game while
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 9: living in the US. So if you're someone who made
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 9: your living in one of these South American countries where
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 9: soccer is so popular, I'm sure the minute that you
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 9: go over to America, it's a it's a great moment.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 6: For you trying to figure out, Yeah, that's a great point,
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 6: and I was actually trying to put together the price
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 6: tag how much these Europeans are spending to come over here.
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 6: I mean they've been right here for a couple of weeks.
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 6: Everybody wander around going to the games, hotel rooms, all
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 6: the food. Clearly they've nearly they drank Boston dry. These
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 6: guys must be loaded over there.
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 19: Oh definitely.
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 9: I mean, I've got one buddy who went to go
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 9: watch one of the World Cup games, and I mean
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 9: he lives near there, but even just for him, he
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 9: was giving me a right out of the price tag
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 9: and I was like, I couldn't afford it out of that.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 9: So I can't imagine flying in, getting a hotel, traveling.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 9: A lot of these people are seeing multiple of the games.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 9: I mean, I didn't know there was that much money
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 9: to be made in countries that.
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 19: Are in America.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, go figure real quick before we let you go.
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 6: And this is actually why we had you on the show. Iran.
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 6: You have been very outspoken in your opposition to the
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 6: initial Iran policy going to war. I'm curious to get
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 6: your thoughts now that there is apparently a memorand of understanding.
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 6: I'm on the other side of this. I feel like
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 6: we should have blown them to Kingdom come until they
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 6: waved the surrender flag. That has not happened. But now
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 6: we do have a memorandum, memorandum of understanding. Jackson, your take.
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 9: On that, See, I feel like there's sort of two
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 9: different elements, and one of them is like if we
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 9: do get the peace steal. So I think, if we
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 9: do get a peace deal, then what did we really
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 9: gain here? You know, because it was a costly conflict.
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 9: You know, we invaded, the straight was closed, there's economic damage.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 9: You know, we obviously increase tensions. So I feel like
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 9: if you're going in, there's got to be a benefit.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 9: And that's where for me, like as much as I'm
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 9: anti Iran war, I'm not like a third world like
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 9: you know, pro Palestine person. So it's like I really
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 9: care a lot about just seeing it to where America wins.
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 9: And so I think that if we're going over there,
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 9: we've got to win. That's so important to me. And
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 9: so I think if we are really moving towards just
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 9: an off ramp where it's like a you know, they
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 9: don't win, we don't win, I guess we'll call it.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 19: A you know, call it a day.
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 9: I don't think that's the way we should be behaving
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 9: if we're entering a conflict like this. It makes us
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 9: look weak, it really does. It makes a ron think
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 9: that they won. They're going to tell their people the
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 9: US try to attack us, and Iron fought them, you know,
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 9: fought us off, and then we reached a deal.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 5: So I don't like that.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 9: But maybe the good thing about it is is that
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 9: I don't think we're really going to be getting a
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 9: deal because I think I saw somewhere that Trump has
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 9: announced peace. I think it was like thirty six times
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 9: since the war started, and it's gotten to point now.
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 9: Or whenever I see like there's a new deal being reached,
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 9: I just I give it like five days before I.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 19: Even read up on it. So I'm not holding my
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 19: breath here.
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 6: I'll say that I think we're at thirty eight now,
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 6: by the way, so for we are keeping keeping tabs. Jackson. Look,
• 1:48:35
