  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: America's favorite gun, total Bible clinging, deplorable American.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: That's that's Todd Stars.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Hello, Hello Patriots. Jeff Stein filling in for Todd today,
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: coming to you from the Liberty University Studio, my home base,
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: the Free state of Iowa. Thanks for being along. On
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: a Thursday edition of the Starns Radio program. Todd is
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: a little under the weather. You heard he had a
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: little bit of a scratchy voice the last couple of days.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: You got to talk to people when you go out
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: and visit them in California and there are six thousand
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: of them sitting there, and then you signed books for
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: three hours in the book comes out in your hometown,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: and you're there for more than an hour. You basically
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: run out of gas after a while. And if you
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: sit behind a microphone and use your voice for a living,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: gotta take care of the money maker. So hopefully a
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: day at home with honey infused lousy and tay good
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: old hot tea to help your voice. Hopefully that will
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: bring mister Starns back within the next day or so.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: So nothing seriou, It's just one of those ugly summertime colds. Todd,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: take good care, rest up, and we hope you're back
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: here very soon. But we have business as usual from
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: the Liberty University Studio. This is a big time in Memphis.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: The PGA Tour Stop Professional Golfers Tour stop is in Memphis.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: It's the FedEx Saint Jude Championship. It takes place at
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: TPC South Wind in Memphis. And we'll be talking with
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Starns show roving reporter and all around great guy, Dylan Dandridge.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: He will be reporting from the course each hour of
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: this program. Now I have to take a look because
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: here where I'm in the state of Iowa, we are
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: getting just dumped on with rain. It's really humid, but
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: it's nothing like Memphis humid. So they're doing this golf
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: tournament and there are heat advisories and heat warnings. And
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: as I am speaking to you at noon eastern eleven
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: o'clock in the morning Memphis time on Thursday, it's ninety
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: one degrees. Well, there's a little little cloud in the
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: sky feels like a hundred and it's not even noon.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: So good duty for Dylan. I hope that there's a
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: tent or something in a tasty beverage, but we'll talk
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: to him each hour of the program. In addition, we're
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: going to talk with a sitting member of Congress who's
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: running for the US Senate in one of the key races. Yes,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: it is in my home state of Iowa, but it's
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: an open seat. It's one the Republicans absolutely have to
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: hold on to in order to preserve that majority. And
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: we'll talk with Congresswoman Ashley Henson of Iowa about her
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: campaign for governor. We'll do that today. We'll also talk
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: about family values on the November ballot, We'll talk about
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: our underserved veterans and much more.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: So.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Please stay with us and join the Coast to Coast
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: conversation if you'd be so kind. Nine oh one two
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: six oh five, nine two six. That's nine oh one
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: two six oh five, nine two six, same number you
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: always use to connect with Ton. We'd love to talk
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: to you on the program today. There are a few
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: stories in the news from the last day and from
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: earlier this week that I think once again make the
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: case which political party and which leaders of political parties
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: support the foundation of faith and family, and which are
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: destined and determined to destroy it. Now what do I mean. Well,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: the news came yesterday as surprise to many that the
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: outstanding White House Press Secretary, Caroline Levitt, is going to
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: leave later this month. She obviously gave birth to her
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: second child earlier. I say obviously because she was off
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: work for a few months, and so she has an
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: infant and a two year old. She is, by the way,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: still only twenty eight years of age. I remember talking
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: to her some years ago when she was running for
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Congress from her home state of New Hampshire. And she
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: has done such a fantastic job in this year and
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: a half or a little more as Press secretary in
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: deflecting the inane questions from some in the White House
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Press corps. And so she will very much be missed.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: And it's a tremendous position, very powerful position. That's the
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: tone for the administration. One of those bucket list kind
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: of jobs. But she said, being a mother to the
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: two children at this pivotal time in their lives, that's
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: more of a bucket list job. I don't have children,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: but I don't doubt that she's right. And so, as
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: opposed to some departures, the sense we all get is
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: that this is very much for the reasons that are stated,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: and that she will still be a pivotal force in
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: the Trump circle. And I'm sure you will see her
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: commenting on news channels, and it would not surprise me
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: if she lands a senior commentator position at one of
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: these cable news channels. So the idea is, I'm going
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: to put career on hold and take care of my infant,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: this very important bonding time between mother and baby. That
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: was the news. They came yesterday, and we'll have time
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: today to talk about possible successors. So that's the news, right.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: And again, she's only twenty eight. You get the kids
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: to be a little older. Maybe she tries again for Congress,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: maybe she takes on another role, immaterial because the most
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: important job, being a mom, is the one she's going
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: to focus on. So at the same time, the White
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: House supports and encourages their staff members to properly raise children.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Let's go to the state of Massachusetts, where the Democrat
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Governor Maura Healy signed a bill allowing abortion right up
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: until the time of birth. And this is the ghoulish thing.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Quite honestly, friends, about this whole thing. You can read
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: the story about it, and they say that we need
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: to do this for medical reasons. In all of that,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: all right, I'll give you the statement. I'm not saying
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: I agree with it, but i'll give you the statement.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: But the bill signing ceremony, the picture that you see
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: of the governor signing the bill, and there are dozens
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: of women behind her, and they are smiling and clapping.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Literally everybody is smiling and clapping as she signs legislation.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: That is the same as signing a death warrant for
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: children in the late stage of gestation. The prior bill
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: had said there were great restrictions after twenty four weeks
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: six months, in other words, very much limiting final trimester abortions.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: This ghoulish bunch of characters is celebrating the murder of
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: children as they are viable and about to be delivered
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: into the world. Now they will say, well, we needed
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: this for life of the mother, we needed this for
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: other safety concerns. Those provisions were already permissible in the law.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: This broadens them. Now. I'm looking at foxnews dot com
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: that has the picture which the Massachusetts governor posted on
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: x on the official account. They were so proud of this.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Here's the caption of this photo. Women smile and applaud
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: as Massachusetts Governor Mora Healey signs legislation allowing babies to
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: be aborted up to birth. Now, I'm sure some on
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: the left hate, absolutely hate that caption for the photo,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: but it's accurate. They could have said ghoulish, sick individuals
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: smile and applaud, but they just simply said women. So
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: when you look broadly at which political party celebrates the
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: foundation of family and which political party celebrates the destruction
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: of the family unit in order to gain political control
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: over lives, that starts making this a very easy choice
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: as you get toward November, doesn't it. Congratulations to Caroline
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Levitt and her husband and their two children on what
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: is next. She has much to offer as a public servant,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: and I'm sure she will return to that she has
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: even more to offer, because again, the president can have
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: multiple spokespeople. Those two children have one mother, and thanks
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: to the law passed in Massachusetts, there will be innumerable
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: numbers of children who will never know, never meet their
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: mother because they will never be allowed to live. Nine
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: oh one two six oh five nine two six. That's
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: how you can join the coast to coast conversation. I've
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: got another example that makes this point, and I'll bring
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: it up to you after we take this short break.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Jeff Stein in for Todd. Just a little under the
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: weather today, nothing serious. Hopefully his voice returns and he's
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: back soon. Thanks for staying along with us, though, on
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: this edition of The Todd Starn.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Show, every generation must decide whether it will recognize deceit
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: before it becomes normal. This weekend, Salem News Channels America
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: two fifty film series presents The Fall of Deceit, a
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: sobering documentary government overreach, faith under pressure, and the cost
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: of abandoning truth. Watch Saturday and Sunday at sevent pm
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Eastern on Salem NewsChannel.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Welcome back to the Liberty University Studio and the Tod
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Starn Show. Jeff Stein filling in for Todd today, just
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: a little under the weather, bit of a cold and whatnot.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: He'll be back very soon, we trust. And the best
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: thing you can do now, the fact that Todd is
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: ill is not at all good. Right, he's under the weather,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: he's not here at the microphone like you expect. It's
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: another reason why you should make sure you have handy
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: a copy of his new book, The Golden Age, How
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Trump Saved America, So in these occasions when he's a
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: little under the weather and can't speak to you through
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: the microphone, you can hear his voice jump off the
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: page of the book. See how that works. The Golden Age,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: How Trump Saved America, the brand new book from Todd Starns.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Get it wherever you get your good books these days.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Go into a Barnes and Noble order at Amazon dot com.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: If you have Amazon Prime and order right now, you'll
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: have it in hand tomorrow and ready for the weekend.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: If you already have a copy, get a second for
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: a friend or a family member they needed. It's called
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America, Todd Starn's new book,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: released this past Tuesday. Get it wherever you get your
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: books these days. And just imagine Todd's voice in full flavor,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: as opposed to the scratchy voice he has now as
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: he reads the book. I have already provided him with
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: the picture of the box of herbal tea that I
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: swear by to get my voice back cinema text with
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: that image a little earlier. Hopefully that magic will work,
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: all right. So we were talking in the last segment
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: about the difference between the Republicans and the Democrats when
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: it comes to the institution of family. This is reporting
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: from Fox News Digital. The Vice President, the Great JD. Vance,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: is calling for the Department of Justice to investigate a
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Health and Human Services report alleging some hospitals and healthcare
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: providers fraudulently subjected children to lucrative sex change procedures. That's
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: a sentence in all my years in broadcasting, A never
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: thought I would utter. The report from HS is entitled
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Wolves in White Coats, How doctors and hospitals pushed and
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: profited from the fraud of quote gender medicine. This report
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: reveals that more than sixty million, six Z zero sixty
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: million dollars in insurance claims for treatments, including puberty blockers,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: for adolescents as young as age thirteen. And that's in
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: a ten year period. So, in other words, sixty million
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: dollars in insurance claims for puberty blockers in a ten
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: year period. HHS says some providers aggressively treated children who
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: presented themselves with hormonal issues, endocrine system problems, or early
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: onset puberty the treatment for those conditions was transgender care
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: because they could bill insurance companies for it. And the
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Biden era policies promoted these treatments leading to gender surgery,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: all covered by insurance. And so there's a gang of
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: medical professionals quote unquote who, when they had the opportunity
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: to treat teenagers, jumped right to this method of treatment
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: puberty blockers, leading to gender surgery because no one was
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: going to question the insurance claim. Now I've had medical procedures.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Insurance has to approve things ahead of time, or they
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: say they'll only pay so much whatever. But in the
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Biden era, oh hey, we're gonna pay for all of
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: this because we want to mutilate children, we want to
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: control them. We know better than parents. Not so much now.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Fox News Digital obtained a letter from Jdvance to the
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: new Attorney General Todd Blanche, and I mean the Senate.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: We talked about this when I was here Monday. The
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Senate completely failed before going off on the August recess.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: The one thing they did was actually confirmed Todd Blanche.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: Vice President Vance sent the Attorney General a letter calling
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: for criminal prosecution of anyone who has intentionally misled children
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: to get transgender treatment. The average healthcare cost for a
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: minor is three thousand dollars transgender treatments, though, push that
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: to seventy five thousand dollars without surgery, and one hundred
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: and seventy thousand of surgery is involved. So you could
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: treat a teenager for three thousand dollars, or if you
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: treat them with transgender treatments, you could charge seventy five thousand.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: That'll pay for a really nice new boat. And if
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: you can talk them into surgery, that's one hundred seventy
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: thousand dollars procedure a low lake home. If you get
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: a bunch of these stacked up, and the healthcare providers
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: are setting themselves up to profit from lifelong medical costs,
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: including prescriptions, including surgeries, including medical interventions for byproduct conditions,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: all after the minor reaches adulthood. In other words, you're
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: altering what God provided, and you're going to keep having
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: to go to the doctor and get medical care because
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: you've messed around with what God provided. It's like a
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: gravy train for these quote medical providers. Now, I don't
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: know any personally who would do such a thing, And
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: thank God, for that, and I hope there's not that
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: much of it going on. But when Health and Human
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Services finds sixty million dollars in insurance claims for these
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: types of gender altering treatments in a ten year period alone,
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Now which political party advocated for that kind of quote
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: treatment for young people in an effort to disrupt the
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: family dynamic? And which political party is first saying let's
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: stop the financial fraud. Second, let's stop the mutilation of
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: young people, and third, let's preserve the family unit. Which
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: party did the one thing, which party did the other.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: We're again just making the point as if you already
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: did not know how important the November election is. Much
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: lighter topic. We're gonna hit the links at the golf
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: course after the bottom of the hour break. Jeff Stein
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: in for Todd on the Todd Starn Show. Welcome back
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: to the Liberty University Studio and the Todd Starn Show.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Jeff Stein filling in for Todd today. Nine oh one
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: two six oh five, nine two six. That's how you
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: can join this coast to coast conversation. But at this
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: point we need to go to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: line and we are joined by Parker May. Mister May
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: is a sports commentator for the flagship station of this
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: radio program, the mighty nine ninety KWAM in Memphis. He's
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: standing by at TPC south Wind in Memphis for the
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: PGA Tour stop the FedEx Saint Jude Championship. Parker May,
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Hello Jeff Stein on this and how are you?
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: I'm good, Jeff, how are you?
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Well? I'm pretty good.
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: I don't have air conditioning. It's working in my radio
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: studio in Iowa. So it's a little sticky, but feels
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: like one hundred degrees out there at the golf course today.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: From what I see from the weather Service, you've got
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: some pretty good Memphis summer weather going on.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it sounds like we're both battling the heat on
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: this Thursday afternoon. The heat is give to me an
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: issue all week in long as the temperatures are going
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: to continue to rise every day. We're out here at
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: tpc's Southwest but still a great crowd on hand for
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: the opening round of the FedEx s Things You Championship.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: All right, So this is a four day PGA tournament
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: to set the stage the TPC course there. How does
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: it rank in terms of extremely difficult. I know, to
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: have the TPC designation, there are certain standards, but what
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: do the players think of the Memphis facility.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: I think what makes this course so unique and challenging.
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: There's all the hazards that present themselves on this course.
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: Eleven of the eighteen holes have a water hazard on
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: the course. The most PGA Tour water balls are here
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: at TPC South and Nuver, six thousand of them since
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: two thousand and three, the most on any PGA Tour course.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: So that's really the biggest challenge, just navigating how they
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: want to attack these holes with water and talking to
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: Scotty Scheffler and Roy McElroy yesterday, they really have differences
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: on how they approach the course. For McElroy it's based
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: on the different services. It's the first time that he's
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: played on Bermuda grass since early May. And for Scheffler
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: it is those hazards and how aggressive he wants to
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: play each and every shot.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: So you've got the top names. I mean, the players
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: often take a week off here or there just because
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: they need to recharge. But you've got some of the
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: top names, including one I just got a text here.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: You've got quite a top name at the top of
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: the leader board at this point.
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, Jordan Speed five under park almost on our way
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: to where we're set up right now, just behind the
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: eighteenth green, two holes up to play for him. He's
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: had an excellent round. Started ting a little shaky hit
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: one way left on the par four fourth hole, but
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: it settled in very nice on the back nine. Of course,
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: he's very familiar with here at CPC South ND.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: We're speaking with Parker May of the mighty nine ninety
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: KWAM about the FedEx Saint Jude Championship Round one going
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: on right now at the TPC South Wind Course in Memphis,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: and you've got a chance. Yesterday, I assume was practice day,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: a lot of media day, et cetera. Who else did
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: you talk to and what was the sense that you
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: got from the players at this point in the season,
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: because again, they're working toward a championship.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, this is the first leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: The top seventy players in the world are here, so
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: everybody's really locked in and focused on trying to make
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: it to next week in Saint Louis. For only the
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: top fifty players in the FedEx Cup standings event, so
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: everybody's really focused on just trying to make it to
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: next week. I think that's the key. But I think
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: for some players, especially once at the top of the leaderboard,
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: that looking at it as really a twelve round event
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: when you got those four round Tier four rounds in
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: Saint Louis next week and then four in Atlanta two
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: weeks from now, And that's really how Roy McRoy looked
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: at He said, I can't just focus on this tourn
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: and I have to focus on three weeks from now
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: in Atlanta because he's trying to win the entire FedEx
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: Cup for the fourth time. So that's been a key.
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: But also the pro am yesterday was a lot of fun.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: A lot of celebrities were here, including Memphis Tiger's basketball
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: coach Penny Hardaway, Grizzlies guard Camp Spencer. So really a
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: great day yesterday leading into this tournament.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Now, if you're a college basketball coach, you've got to
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: play a lot of golf because you go to all
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: of these booster outings, et cetera, house Pennies game.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: Penny is very good. Actually, I've seen him play this
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: prom over the years as I've covered this event and
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: continues to get better and better. I think it's a
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: lot of translation. I'm not really sure why, but there
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: are a lot of basketball players and coaches that play
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: the game of golf at a very high level. Cam
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: Spencer hits the ball a mile yesterday, and even Grizzly
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: commentator Brevian Knight said he's just about a seven handicap.
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: So a lot of high quality golfers.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: I had the occasion every year to cover a pro
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: am in our area that is put on by two
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: time Major champion Zach Johnson, who is in his first
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: season on the Champions Tour, and I think he's won
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: four events already in that first season. And it's a
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: pro am, and you get a lot of celebrities, a
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: lot of athletes. And that's an interesting point about basketball
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: players because again I've found just what little I noticed,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: they really have this down. And I don't know if
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: it's because they're taller, they get a little more momentum
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: behind the ball, if they follow through the with the
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: with the swing, or because they have summers off they
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: have more time to play. I don't know, but they
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: do have an advantage.
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: You're exactly right, they do have some sort of advantage.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: I haven't quite figured it out. Working with college basketball
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: season long, a lot of the guys do golf, especially
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: in this time of year in the summer, but especially
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: right as the offseason hits in March and April. That's
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: the perfect time as the weather, it's just getting into
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: the perfect season. They take advantage of that. And you
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: see more NBA players getting into as well. Lebron James
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: is really getting into golf. Michael Jordan golf all the time.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: So it really is a worldwide thing for basketball players
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: to get into golf.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we've seen pictures of Mike with a big cigar
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: and perhaps a robust bet on every putt. We don't
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: know that that's not confirmed. We're speaking with Parker May
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: of the mighty nine ninety KWAM and the topic of
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: course FedEx Saint Jude Championship at TPC South Wind. Now
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: you're there at the eighteenth in Memphis. These players that
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: we just mentioned, Jordan Speith, and they're at five under
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: through maybe fifteen. There are a few others at four under.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Are the scores on this course typically pretty good? In
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: other words, what's it going to take to win? Is
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: it a ten or twelve under or is it a
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: twenty under performance in four rounds? What usually wins at Memphis.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: That's a great question, Jivin. It's honestly kind of right
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: in the middle of those two ranges you mentioned. In
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: the last three years, the winning score has been around
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: fifteen under. We saw that last year with Justin Rose
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: getting to fifteen under and then securing it in a
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: playoff win at Dekie Mattiama few years ago as a
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: sixteen under. So it's usually right around there. So five under,
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: especially if Jordan Speak can hold onto that five under
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: on a Thursday, that's going to really set the stage
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: high for the weekend.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: And I mentioned that because there's a TPC course in
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: the Quad Cities just over the Iowa border in Illinois,
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: and they play a tour event, the John Deer Classic,
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: and typically the winner is at twenty two, twenty three,
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: twenty four under par, just because again of the type
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: of course that it is, and so I was wondering
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: what it was going to take. Interesting though, you mentioned
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Rory McElroy because again, were his philosophy on this. Normally
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: you say, all right, I got seventy two holes, and
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: I pay attention to the weather, and I pay attention
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: to this and that he's looking at it as I've
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: got a certain goal for four rounds, but this is
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: a this is a twelve round in essence of marathon
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: as opposed to a four round sprint. And I wonder
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: how prevalent that view is or if they just all
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: some of the others keep the mindset of I'm going
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: to win this tournament, then I'm going to go win
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: this tournament, et cetera.
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you have to pick an into account
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: the position that guys like Roy McElroy, Scottie Scheffler, Cam Smith,
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: the guys at the top of the or Cam and
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: Young Excuse and the guys at the top of the
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: FedEx Cup standings, because they have the ability to really
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: look at it as a three command those guys that
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: are already locked into going to Atlanta the Tour Championship
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: in a couple weeks. When you have that already secured,
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: you kind of can have that mentality of just setting
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: yourself up for Intlanta and just playing the best golf
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: possible and not trying to go all out like guys
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: like Jackson Coyvens, guys towards the bottom of the FedEx
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: Cup stands right now in that fifty to seventy range,
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: But you're trying to do what you can to make
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: it to next week, so they're looking at it for
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: a week by week basis. All guys at the top
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: can really just set themselves up for pushing the tour championship.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: Now, when we talk next hour, I want to talk
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: a little bit about the background and some of the
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: color of it, because again, you draw thousands of fans,
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: they are all sorts of unique things with regard to
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: food and merchandise, et cetera. But I don't want to
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: lose sight of the fact that, yes, this is the
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: fed Ex Championship, but it's the FedEx Saint Jude Championship,
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: and there's huge philanthropic efforts going on.
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: Correct, Absolutely, there's so much money being raised for Saint
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: Jude throughout thebly. I think that's really what makes this
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: terment special. And so many kids from Sainting Jude get
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: the opportunity to participate in the tournament, whether it's just
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: holding the pin for the caddies on the eighteenth green
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: on some days or yesterday in the Pro there are
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: a bunch of Saint you patients at the eleventh pole
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: talking with the players as they went throughout their holes.
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: So the players know it's a big deal to have
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: the patients here. I think the fans recognize that too,
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: and that's what makes this event even more special.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, that is so fantastic, and I do want to
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: talk more about that aspect as well when we connect
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: next hour. What's the beverage of choice right now, Parker,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: in order to stay cool with one hundred degree heat
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: into x and ninety one degree temperatures.
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the question of the day. And I think
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: it's all saying between a power and a water every
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: about thirty minutes to get me through the day.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: Here we go, it's a power aid and a water
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: and it's alternate. See, you can't just people think this
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: is simple, but there's thought that goes into this. You
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: got to get the electrolytes balanced. Ime with you, Parker,
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: thanks so much for this conversation. Let's do it again
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: in an hour.
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: Absolutely talk to you then.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: All right, Thank you much, sir, Parker May, sports commentator
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: for the mighty nine ninety KWAM, the flagship station of
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: the Starns Media Group, and of this radio program. And
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: he joined us from the FedEx Saint Jude Championship at
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: TPC south Wind in Memphis. Joined us on the Patriot
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Mobile news Maker line nine oh one two six h
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: five nine two six. That's how you can connect with
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: our coast to coast conversation. We'll talk about a few
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: things that we left off with at the bottom of
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: the hour of going back to this Humans Health and
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: Human Services report on sex change procedures. I'm going to
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: pick up on that and whatever you want to talk
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: about after this break. Jeff Stein in for Todd Todd
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Starn Show. Welcome back to the Todd Starn Show from
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: the Liberty University Studio today in the Free State of Iowa. Hello,
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Jeff Stein filling in for Todd. Just a little under
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: the weather. He'll be back with you before too long
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: as you might expect. And again, this is the premiere week,
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: release week for the new book The Golden Age, How
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Trump Saved America. Todd was kind enough to come on
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: my radio program in Iowan Tuesday to talk to my
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: audience about it. And it is full of specific examples
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: along with a chapter of what you, as a reader
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: or listener to this program can do to help get
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: us to the potential, get us to where this is
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: another golden age that turns out better than any in
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: the past. That's one of the things that we often
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: hear people like me often here the audience will say, well,
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: that's a great conversation you had, but what can we do?
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: What can we do about it now that you've identified
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: the problem. Well, not only do you have wonderful examples
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: in each page of Todd's book to talk about how
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: Trump saved America, but there is a separate chapter on
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: how you can participate, things you can do to help
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: us reach the absolute best we can in the Golden Age,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: The Golden Age, How Trump saved America. You get it
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: wherever you get your good books these days. Todd Starns,
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: of course, is the author. As I mentioned, Todd's got
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: one of these summer cold things, a little under the weather.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: Here's the way you make him feel better. I'm looking
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: right now, and this is really amazing. I'm not surprised
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: because Todd is so good at what he does and
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: his books are so popular. But he's in the top
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: ten in three separate categories on Amazon. You know, Amazon
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: ranks all these things top ten in three different categories,
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: including political commentary. Thank you very much. So if you
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: want to help goose those numbers a little higher, get
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: those stats up a little higher into the top five. Well,
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: buy a copy or three right now at Amazon dot com.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: If you have prime, you'll have it in your hands tomorrow.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: It's the Golden Age. How Trump Saved America. The author
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: is Todd Starns. About thirty minutes ago on this program,
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: I was again comparing Democrats and Republicans and their viewpoints
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: on the role of family and society. I mentioned that
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: the Vice President sent a letter to the Attorney General
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: referencing a Health and Human Services report indicating some hospitals
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: and healthcare providers fraudulently subjected children to sex change procedures
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: and treatment because they were going to get paid big
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: money for it. Well, Fox News Digital obtain another letter,
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: this one from Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy,
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Junior to the Inspector General at HHS, Thomas marsh Bell.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: The Kennedy letter indicates there is a sizable list of
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: individual hospitals and clinicians that Secretary Kennedy says exhibit quote
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: potentially anomalous billing patterns unquote. Again, these become factories, these
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: become cash centers because under the Biden administration, nobody was
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: going to question transgender treatments even though they were significantly
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: more expensive. And when you start factoring unneeded surgery in, again,
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: who's making the money on this, Well, if you are
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: a somewhat crooked or or you are an agenda driven
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: medical provider quote unquote, and you want to make sure
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: that you can maximize your profit while also fulfilling some
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: sort of sick political agenda, You're going to specialize in
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: these procedures. You're going to recommend them all over the place.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: Because again, as I mentioned before, the average health care
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: cost for a minor is around three thousand dollars, but
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: transgender treatments push that to seventy five thousand without surgery,
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: and nearly one hundred and seventy thousand if surgery is involved.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: I know what, I've been very blessed. I don't have
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: many medical issues, but occasionally there's something, and I get
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: the explanation of benefits the EOB letter, and I'm just
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: stunned at the cost. And you'll see the listing, here's
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: the cost of services, here's what your insurance company has
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: negotiated it down to and it's a fraction of this
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: bloated cost, and then the insurance covered whatever. And here's
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: what you pay. I mean, you just see this funnel,
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: and you may think you pay a lot, and sometimes
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: you do, but when you look at what the actual
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: cost is that the medical provider would charge you without insurance.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: And if it's a preferred treatment like this, and government's
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: picking up the bill, I can only imagine that they
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: have evidence showing that certain hospitals, clinicians, doctors are specializing
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: in whatever the code is for the transgender treatments because
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: they knew they would not be challenged. Well, not only
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: is it morally wrong, but this kind of a cash grab,
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: there's got to be some level of criminal involvement. At
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: the very least, an investigation is necessary. And again the
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: Vice President has asked the Attorney General to take a
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: close look at this, and Vice President Advance has called
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: for criminal prosecution of anyone who has intentionally misled children
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: that leads to transgender treatment, which is lucrative for the
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: medical provider. How sick, how absolutely sick and sadistic. And again,
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: which administration promoted this proudly the transgender treatments, the mutilation
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: of young people, and which party is saying, not only
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: is it wrong, it may be criminal because of the
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: financial element. Something to watch and certainly something to keep
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: in mind as you go to the polling place prior
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: to the November third general election. It's not hyperbole to
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: say every election is important, and the way things have
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: been tumbling again, the last election was real important. Keep
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: up the momentum, team. All right, that's one hour down
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: on a Thursday. Two more to go. We're gonna talk
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: about veterans just after the top of the hour. Hope
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: you'll stay along. Jeff Stein filling in for Todd Stearns.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: And this is the Todd Starns Show, ply.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: From the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's common
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: sense conservative momentary from Todd Stars Samaritan.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: Hello, fellow patriots. Jeff Stein filling in for Todd today
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: the Liberty University Studio here in the Free State of Iowa.
• 38:20

• 38:22
  Speaker 3: throat and cold and whatever comes with it this time
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: of year. So rest up, have some honey and hot tea.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: Mister Starns, get back to the microphone as soon as possible.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: Always a privilege for me to join U Starn's nation, however,
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: and we invite your phone calls at nine oh one
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: two six oh five nine two six, same number you
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: always use to talk to Todd. It's nine oh one
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: two six h five nine two six. We'll take your
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: calls in the next segment. However, I want to start
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: this hour by going to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: I am pleased to be joined by Melissa Keithus.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: MS.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Keithus is the exact executive director of a group known
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: as Air Power Foundation. They are online at Airpowerfoundation dot org.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: Ms keith its Jeff Stein filling in for Todd. How
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: are you today?
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: I'm doing wonderful. Thank you so much for having me today.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate the work that your organization is doing.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: I've had the opportunity to take a look at the website,
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: but for the audience's benefit. Air Power Foundation. Who are you,
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: folks and what do you do?
• 39:28
  Speaker 7: Well?
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: We are an organization over twenty seven years old, and
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: we support our military, our active duty reserve guards and
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: veterans and their families. So we have programs that support
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: mental health. We work really closely. I'm in Fort Worth, Texas,
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: and so we have the NASJRB. I'm joint based here
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: and so we do a lot of work and with
• 39:51
  Speaker 6: morale and welfare programs. I'm really and connected there. But
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: we just support our military because we want to honor them,
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: lift them up, and and stand in the gap when needed.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: There are various needs that some folks may not fully understand.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know that those of us who have not
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: served or had very close family members who have served,
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: truly understand what it's like to come back. What are
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: some of the needs or some of the situations that
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: the average person when you start talking about Airpower Foundation,
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: they just say, Wow, I had no idea that that
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: was going on or that that was an issue.
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: Right, So we really focus heavily on mental health. These
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: servicemen and women who go and sacrifice and stand up
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: and fight these wars and they come home, they often
• 40:44
  Speaker 6: come home with invisible scars and trauma, and that even
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: bleeps over into their families and to their children. And
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: so what we try to do at Airpower Foundation is
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: create opportunities for veterans to gather together to be able
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: to talk through some of the challenges that they're facing,
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: and we also we provide some opportunities for them to
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: not healing and hope again in a connection because they're
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: in a very tight unit, right, and it is like family,
• 41:14
  Speaker 6: and when they come back home that is almost that's gone,
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: and so there's a little bit of disconnect there of
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: trying to fit back in and assimilate back into civilian life.
• 41:25
  Speaker 6: And even though they have their family and you know,
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: their friends around them, they still don't quite understand or
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: can relate to what they have experience or have gone through.
• 41:35
  Speaker 6: So that's one of the biggest challenges. It's that mental
• 41:38
  Speaker 6: health aspect of what some of our veterans face when
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: they come back home.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: That is not difficult to talk about, especially with family members,
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: I would suggest in any situation. But then you've got
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: someone who wore the uniform and we have an image
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: of what that soldier or sailor or airman or marine
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: is like. Right, there's a toughness and I think it's
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: especially in talking to other veterans groups. And I may
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: be wrong here, but it's especially difficult to crack that
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: nut because again, the stereotype is we hold this inside
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: because that's what we've been taught to do. And there
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: are a lot of these folks who the last thing
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: in the world they do is to seek help for
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: something like this.
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: That's absolutely right. And what we see and what we've
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: noticed is they isolate, right, They oscolate themselves from their families,
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: from their friends, and I think, honestly, I think that
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: sometimes it's to protect them from the things that they
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: have seen and some of the things that they're going through,
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: because that's what they do. They protect us, they protect
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: our nation, and so they're still in that mindset when
• 42:47
  Speaker 6: they come home, and we all know oscillation is completely
• 42:53
  Speaker 6: the wrong way to go because then they are oscilatd
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: they can't find the help, they can't find the support.
• 42:59
  Speaker 6: They're not talking about some of the challenges that they're
• 43:01
  Speaker 6: going through. And you know, something that people really don't
• 43:04
  Speaker 6: like to talk about is what happens if they keep
• 43:08
  Speaker 6: going down that road, and that is some of the
• 43:10
  Speaker 6: suicide ideations and some of the other you know, addictions
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: that can happen through this oscillation of them just trying
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: to find relief. It's a real issue, and we don't
• 43:19
  Speaker 6: shy away from those tough words and those tough conversations,
• 43:23
  Speaker 6: we try to start them. It's really important to ask
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: questions and to get that conversation started.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: This is mid August, as you and I are speaking
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: across the country on the radio. Suicide Prevention Month broadly
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: is in September, and so that dovetails nicely with us
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: thinking about this and preparing to be a lending shoulder
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: or a helpful ear as necessary. What are some things
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: folks might think about? Because I must say, and this
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: is rather a shallow approach, but I think many of
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: us have it. We think about those in the uniform
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Well, there are three
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: hundred and sixty three other days of the year. So
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: what are some ways that folks listening to our conversation
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: can help in their home areas.
• 44:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, find a local organization to get connected to. There
• 44:18
  Speaker 6: are military organizations across this nation. Contact us at Airpower
• 44:23
  Speaker 6: AIRPOFT Foundation dot org. We or connect with us on
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: our social media. We have programs out resources connection groups
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: where people can come and get connected. Just recently, I
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: had a conversation with a mom that lives in I
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: think at South Carolina and her son was in a
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: bunker that exploded and she was alone. She didn't have
• 44:47
  Speaker 6: a connection group, she didn't have anybody to reach out to.
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: Through a mutual friend, we got connected. So now we're
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: providing support for her and encouragement and opportunity for connection
• 44:56
  Speaker 6: and connect her with other moms that are going through
• 44:59
  Speaker 6: the same thing that she's going through. And I'll which
• 45:02
  Speaker 6: I just get involved and if you need help getting
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: involved and connected, reach out to us. Well, definitely can
• 45:09
  Speaker 6: help you with that.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: We're speaking on the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line with Melissa Keithus.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: She is the executive director of Airpower Foundation. They are
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: online at Airpowerfoundation dot org. I'm intrigued by some of
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: the very specific programs that you do, and I am
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: a sucker for animals, and I am intrigued by some
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: of the programs that you know. And we all know
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: those of us who have pets, and I live in
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: an area where there are interaction with horses, and I
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: understand to a limited degree how sensitive they are and
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: how intuitive they are as well. But animals can really
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: provide the kind of help that is necessary to open
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: the door for some of the people.
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: Oh, it is just a miracle when you are able
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: to see that happen. I mean, especially between that human
• 46:08
  Speaker 6: and horse connection, and the trust and the confidence and
• 46:13
  Speaker 6: the hope that is being rebuilt is simply astonishing and encouraging.
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: And we're just so thrilled to be able to offer
• 46:23
  Speaker 6: programs like our Equine Therapy where our veterans and their
• 46:27
  Speaker 6: families can come for a weekend or even for a
• 46:32
  Speaker 6: week and get that hope and healing and that connection
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: and come back week after week to continue that support
• 46:38
  Speaker 6: and that hope and that healing. And something that people
• 46:41
  Speaker 6: don't maybe not understand about horses is that they really
• 46:46
  Speaker 6: calm our nervous system. They realign our nervous system. And
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: so if you can imagine, if you have all this
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: chaos and anxiety going on in your mind, then you
• 46:58
  Speaker 6: go and you spend some time with a horse. They
• 47:00
  Speaker 6: bring your heart rate down, they bring your anxiety level down.
• 47:03
  Speaker 7: I mean, I can speak firsthand.
• 47:05
  Speaker 6: I've had horses most of my life and I have
• 47:07
  Speaker 6: them today. And when I have when I have a
• 47:09
  Speaker 6: spress all day, that's the first thing I do is
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: go out and spend time with my horses. So it's
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: really a remarkable approach to mental health and.
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: I imagine for some who are not as familiar with
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: horses as you are, and they come in and they interact,
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: they have a little bit of success, they come back
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: another time, there's a little more success, etc. That's got
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: to be a confidence booster in again, a unique way
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: that might strike just the right individual at just the
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: right time and set them on a nice path forward.
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: Again, it is just a pathway to healing and an
• 47:49
  Speaker 6: alternative way to provide some support and services to our
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: military and their families along with the service dog. So
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: we have a trainer that we work with and they
• 48:02
  Speaker 6: have legacy and Malan laws Belgium mallin laws, and those
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: dogs are really incredible the support that they provide not
• 48:11
  Speaker 6: just to that veteran, but to that veterans family. And
• 48:14
  Speaker 6: each dog is trained specifically for that need of that veteran.
• 48:17
  Speaker 6: Because everybody has a different needs. Everybody comes with their
• 48:21
  Speaker 6: own challenge that's unique, and so we try to understand
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: what that is and then provide that support that is
• 48:29
  Speaker 6: necessary for that unique individual. And service dogs, I mean,
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: they are incredible, I mean just incredible.
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: And I'm so glad you transitioned to that because I
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: had just clicked the tab on your web page Airpowerfoundation
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: dot org for the service dogs, and again people can
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: actually apply and you make the connection. Right. This is
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: one of the things you folks do is facilitate, right.
• 48:53
  Speaker 6: Absolutely, So there's a place to fill out a form
• 48:56
  Speaker 6: to get connected to start that process, and you know
• 48:59
  Speaker 6: it is it is a great opportunity for you know,
• 49:03
  Speaker 6: not only to if somebody has high anxiety and you
• 49:08
  Speaker 6: know that service dog helps calm them in crowds, but
• 49:10
  Speaker 6: it's also companionships. It's that constant reminder that that you're
• 49:14
  Speaker 6: not alone, someone's with you and you're being taken care of.
• 49:19
  Speaker 6: It is those dogs are incredible.
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: This has got to be I don't know a lot
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: about your background, but this has got to be among
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: the most rewarding things that you've done as a professional.
• 49:35
  Speaker 6: I can tell you I've worked in the nonprofit industry
• 49:38
  Speaker 6: for twenty five years. I've worked all over the world,
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: and this, by far is the most humbling, the most
• 49:49
  Speaker 6: incredible opportunity to serve our military. It is the best
• 49:56
  Speaker 6: thing I've ever done in my life. And you know,
• 49:59
  Speaker 6: we we have a great team, a wonderful group of
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: volunteers and board and staff, and we work tirelessly. Our
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: team is we get calls every day, and I will
• 50:10
  Speaker 6: promise you every single one of those calls get answered.
• 50:12
  Speaker 6: And if we don't have the funds or if we
• 50:14
  Speaker 6: don't have the resources, we find them. We find those resources,
• 50:18
  Speaker 6: we find that support so we can help that veteran.
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: It is one of the most rewarding and challenging and
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: I would, I would. I can't see myself doing anything
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: other than what I'm doing right now is serving our military.
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: What a worthy cause and worthy effort that you obviously
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: believe in deeply. Airpowerfoundation dot org is the website. There
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: is a button there that gives you a way that
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: you can donate or give if you believe in the cause.
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: You can find out about all the programs. There's even
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: a shop, so if maybe you're in a position where
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: you can't connect directly, purchase a little merchandise, a shirt
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: or a mug and spread the word about this and
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: support the Air Power Foundation this. Thank you so much
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: for all of the advocacy efforts you folks are doing,
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: and thank you for sharing this information with the Todd
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: Starn Show audience. I appreciate it and continued success.
• 51:10
  Speaker 6: Thank you so much and thank you for allowing Airpower
• 51:13
  Speaker 6: to be part of the conversation today. We really appreciate it,
• 51:16
  Speaker 6: all right.
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: Thank you kindly. God bless the executive director of Airpower Foundation,
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: Melissa Keithus, and she joined us on the Patriot Mobile
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: newsmaker line one more time. That website is Airpower Foundation.
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: Dodd Org nine oh one two six oh five, nine
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: two six your calls after this break. Jeff Stein in
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: for Todd. This is the Todd Starn Show. Welcome back
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: to the Liberty University Studio and the Todd Starn Show.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: Jeff Stein filling in for Todd today. He's a little
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: under the weather. He'll be back soon. Nine oh one
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: two six oh five nine two six s numbers always
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: and you can join this coast to coast conversation nine
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: oh one two six zho five nine two six. Just
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: after the bottom of the hour, we'll go back to
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: the TPC South Wind in Memphis for an update on
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: the FedEx Saint Jude Championship. It's not only a fantastic
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: golfing event, but a wonderful philanthropic event. And we'll hear
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: from Parker May coming up after the bottom of the
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: hour and Also this hour, we'll speak live with Kim Miller.
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: Ms Miller is founder and president of America's Women. Family
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: Values are on the ballot this November. We'll talk about that,
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: and in the next hour we'll speak with one of
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: those candidates on the ballot. Iowa Congresswoman Ashley Henson will
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: call in. She is the Republican nominee for US Senate.
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: It is an open seat, but it is currently held
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: by a Republican. So this is one of those that
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: the GOP needs to hold in order to not only
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: hold on to, but perhaps build their majority in the
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: US Senate. Congress Woman and candidate Ashley Hinson. That's coming
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: up in our next hour. We mentioned at the top
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: of the program that the White House Press Secretary, Caroline
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: Levitt is going to leave her position at the end
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: of the month to focus on family and as you
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: look at the list, she is the fifth White House
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: Press secretary. If you go back to the first Trump administration,
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: there were four in that four year term. Sean Spicer
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: for the first six months two years of Sarah Huckabee Sanders,
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: then for just under a year, Stephanie Grisham held the position,
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: and then Kaylee Mcanenni for the final year of Trump
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: one point zero and Caroline Levitt, we'll take the first
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: year and a half of Trump two point zero. And
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: so now folks are talking about, all right, who's going
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: to take the job. Now there are folks who are
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: taking a look at this and saying, all right, the
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: fact that no one was named in me imediately, what
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: does that mean. Does it mean that this was a
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: bit of a surprise, or that they may take a
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: different tact. And this is interesting to me, the fact
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: that they are positing out there in the social media
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: and punditry that instead of having a White House Press
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: secretary who gives daily briefings like this, like we have seen,
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: maybe it's a matter that the daily briefing is a
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: little bit antiquated in today's day and age, and with
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: a president who is so so accessible to the press,
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: maybe you don't have you have someone who either has
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: the title, or you have someone like Stephen Chung who's
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: the communications director. He may hold the title, but yet
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: not do daily briefings. And they'll bring people out. Remember
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: when Caroline Levitt was on maternity leave during this, they
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: brought people out like the secretary of State, the Vice President,
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: the Secretary of the Treasury, who would lead briefings. And
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: so it's being floated that that might be a model
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: rather than one designated person with a backup. Let's say
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: who comes out and they all crowd together there in
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: that White House press room. Maybe we don't have the
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: daily briefings because you've got a president who speaks to
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: the public. You've got all these other media sources as
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: opposed to the old days when it was just a
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: few newspapers, the wire services, and that's it. So that
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: changes the dynamics of the job. The fact that the
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: White House can communicate directly through social media, and this
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: is any White House. They can now communicate directly through
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: social media. Maybe the podium figure not as important. Then again,
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: we've got a list of interesting names to share with
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: you in our next hour as well of who will
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: take over. Back to the links to the golf course
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: after this bottom of the hour break from the Liberty
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: University Studio. Jeff Stein in for Todd. Thanks for being
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: along on a Thursday Todd Starn Show. As we continue
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: on the Todd Starn Show from the Liberty University Studio,
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: Jeff Stein filling in for Todd today nine oh one
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: two six oh five, nine two six if you'd like
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: to weigh in on any of the things we've been
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: talking about. But right now I want to go to
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line and welcome back sports commentator
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: for the mighty nine to ninety KWAM, the flagship station
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: of the Todd Starns radio program. He is Parker May,
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: and mister May is at the FEDAC Saint Jude Championship
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: at TPC South Wind in Memphis. Parker, thanks for taking
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: time once again. That leaderboard has been pretty stable since
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: we talked an hour ago.
• 57:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, steady at the top is the co eater. Jordan's
• 57:09
  Speaker 5: speeds just finished on eighteen, actually just finished his press
• 57:13
  Speaker 5: conference with the media after a five under round to
• 57:16
  Speaker 5: stay at top leader board.
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: So you got to tie, I believe, at five under,
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: and you've still got some folks who have not yet
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: teed off. They started at just a little after seven
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: this morning, and they're playing in pairs correct as opposed
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: to a threesome or a foursome in this the first
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: two rounds.
• 57:34
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, we're just the top seventy much easier for them
• 57:37
  Speaker 5: just to play in pairs speed that paid the play
• 57:39
  Speaker 5: last tea time coming up here in the next few minutes.
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: All right, so we we got all sportsy about this
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: in the last hour. But let's talk a bit about
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: the fans and the setup of TPC South Wind. I
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: mean again, the the you used to be called the
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: Saint Jude Classic, but you have the FedEx Saint Jude Championship.
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: It is so well known in Memphis, it is a
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: tradition for so many people. How close can the fans
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: actually get to the players given the layout of the course.
• 58:10
  Speaker 5: This is actually a fans first event, and that goes
• 58:12
  Speaker 5: all the way from the concession stands to the access
• 58:15
  Speaker 5: And let's just tell a clear story. About fifteen minutes ago,
• 58:19
  Speaker 5: me and Dylan were actually probably two feet away from
• 58:22
  Speaker 5: the other co leader right now, Michael thur Bournston, when
• 58:24
  Speaker 5: he was on the eighteenth fairway. His drive went pretty
• 58:26
  Speaker 5: far right past the bunker and we were probably less
• 58:29
  Speaker 5: than a few feet away watching him hit that approach shot.
• 58:32
  Speaker 5: A really neat spot that the fans can really get
• 58:34
  Speaker 5: them up close action with their players.
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'd like to keep it in the fairway, but
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: it's nice that they could have that kind of interaction.
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: And as you mentioned, this is not just the four
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: days of competitive play. As they start the playoffs, how
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: many thousand fans show up on average, It's got to
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: be scads of them.
• 58:57
  Speaker 5: It's an humble crowded really every Thursday Friday. Since it's
• 59:00
  Speaker 5: moved to the August format, I've always been kind of
• 59:03
  Speaker 5: worried what but of crowds look like, especially now they're
• 59:06
  Speaker 5: into August. Schools are starting back here locally in Memphis,
• 59:08
  Speaker 5: so you don't know what to expect on the crowds
• 59:10
  Speaker 5: of the first two rounds. But they have been fantastic
• 59:13
  Speaker 5: all day. Hundreds of people following the marquee groups like
• 59:16
  Speaker 5: Jordan Speet and Tommy Fleetwood and Scottie Schessler and Roy
• 59:19
  Speaker 5: McRoy who just came off the eighteenth Green. So the
• 59:21
  Speaker 5: crowds can singing to grow as it they moves on
• 59:23
  Speaker 5: here at TPC Southland.
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: It's interesting how did they determine the pairings or the duos.
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: And the reason I ask is if you were to
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: ask even the most casual fan you know, name some
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: top stars in the PGA, they'd come up with names
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: like Scheffler and McElroy and to have them together in
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: the same duel for the first two days. That's a
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: real fan favorite. So I'm just wondering how those things
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: were drawn, if it was at random or ranking. Going
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: into this top seventy first round of the playoff et ce.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 5: Another great question, Jeff, And sometimes it is based on
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 5: the ranking, especially once you get into the FedEx Cup playoffs.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 5: Like number seventy Jackson Cuyvin, the odd player out. He
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 5: was playing by himself early this morning at seven ten,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 5: so he kind of had the straw of your number seventy.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 5: You're playing by yourself at seven cent in the morning.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 5: And then you have the more key pairings that we
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 5: were talking about with Speed and Sleevewood and McElroy and Scheffler.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 5: They're gonna play by they're gonna play together, and they're
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 5: gonna be the featured groups on ESPN to get the
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 5: TV the best groups in action and getting to see
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 5: every shot that they're gonna have.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: I did notice you've got one poor player who's out
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: there alone and again starting the day. As it turned out,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: they flipped the order tomorrow. But you're too young to
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: remember the may Tag repair Man TV commercials. But it's
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: like old lonely out there, just a guy hitting the
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: golf ball for eighteen holes. But I imagine that's that's
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: gotta That takes underdog status to a new level, doesn't it.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 5: It really doesn't. It was a really kind of weird
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 5: scene when he mentioned the underdog status. But the guy
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 5: who is doing it, Jackson Coyman, is probably one of
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 5: the most brightest young stars of the new PGA Tour,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 5: just twenty one years old, younger than me, a junior
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 5: at Auburn, recently turned pro, and he's only played with
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 5: five PGA Tour events before this one, and it's qualified
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 5: for the Facts Cup playoffs. So a really fascinating story
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 5: and a great crowd out there for him.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: Early this morning, Parker May is our guest. He is
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: a sports commentator for the mighty nine ninety k w
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: AM and he's talking to us on the Patriot Mobile
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: newsmaker line from the TPC South Wind in Memphis. Now,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: you mentioned that Dylan is there with you. Now which
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: one of you drives the conversation about the concession stand
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: and when to hit for? What is that like his role?
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: Do you have him bring things or is he kind
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: of the leader of the concessions pack here.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 5: You know, it's kind of a team effort when it
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 5: comes to the concession stance between the two of us.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 5: But thankfully, when you've got the new grounds plus access
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 5: and that's what they really wanted to hit on this
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 5: year for the fans, it really kind of makes it easy.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 5: PPC Sound Winds with the FedEx Saint You Champions, it
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 5: was in a great job really putting the fans first
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 5: in that standpoint this year. So about one hundred bucks
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 5: you get into the tournament, but then you also get
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 5: unlimited non alcoholic beverages in foods. A really great selection
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 5: of those concession stands are scattered all throughout the course,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 5: so it makes it really easier fans just to grab
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 5: a drink and grab a burger or a hot dog
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 5: something like that while they're watching some high level golf.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: What is the thing for food that people like me
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: would not expect to see at the TPC South Wind.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: I don't want to say what's the oddest thing, but
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: what's the thing that you'd look up and say, I
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: didn't expect that at a golf course.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 5: This is one of those things that it's only a
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 5: Memphis kind of thing that one of the featured items
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 5: here is barbecue nachos or barbata sandwichers, and that's like
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 5: you're not going to find that at your local country
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 5: club or municipal golf course. You're going to find that
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 5: at CPC Southland because we're in men and so ron
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 5: ivuw is out here on the eighth Green a great
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 5: Part three selection. They'll have barbecue out all weekend. I
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 5: remember getting a brisket biscuit out there from them one year.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 5: So they do a great job getting the barbecue out there,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 5: and a lot of grizzly steams of Memphis grizzly grizzly
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 5: steamed food like they caught a grizzly dog out there
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 5: for the hot dogs. But a really great job by
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 5: the concessions and groups out here this week.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: Well, of course you've got barbeque in Memphis, and of
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: course it's world class. You know. I guess that does
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: make some sense. So as you are there great opportunities
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: for people to pick up some pretty cool swag or
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: are you seeing some really hideous golf outfits among some
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: of the fans.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 5: If they're stuffing by the merchantin here along the eighteenth
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 5: th there's some high quality stuff in there. A lot
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 5: of great brands from Peter Malar, Johnny O, under Armor,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 5: Lulu Women, So a lot of the top brands here
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 5: sponsoring with the PGA Tour. They'll have dirth closed and
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 5: hat scattered at the PGA Tour fans shop here.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: All right. So it's it's not like caddy shack, is
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: what you're telling me.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 5: No, it's it's higher quality than that.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: Ye have your patterned cap to go with your plaid pants.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: No good, it's good that we don't have that, all right. So,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: I know a lot of tournaments these days they have entertainment,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: you know, maybe a little concert or something afterwards, anything
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: like that, or is this, hey, we're really serious. We're
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: into the playoffs. It's golf and that's it.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 5: No concert thing like that. Now that's a great You
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 5: might need to pitch that to the committee of here
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 5: at Chaplin, But it's really about the golf. I think
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 5: they've done a great job focusing on that. But they
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 5: also do a great job instead of doing the concerts
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 5: and entertainment, they really do a great job with the
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 5: hospitality areas for the fans. So a lot of great
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 5: hospitality setups on the eighteenth Fairway, eighteenth Green, seventeenth Green,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 5: some of the big ones as well. So a great
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 5: job for fans to get a more luxury experience here
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 5: while they're at the golf course.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: Well, they need to provide because you've got Memphis like
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: weather and I hate to point it out, but I
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: just want the audience to sympathize. It says mostly cloudy
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: and ninety four, but it feels like one oh six.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: I suppose it feels like one oh five in the
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: shade though, right.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 5: The shade is not bad, but I'm gonna disagree with
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 5: the partly cloudy it is. There are some clouds, so
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 5: there is a lot of sun coming down here and
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 5: it's gonna continue to get hotter throughout the week. But
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 5: we're gonna withstand it to watch some of the top
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 5: golfers throughout the week.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: Well, it's not like you're out there doing manual labor,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: like some of the listeners to the audience are in
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: this audience and they're out there having to work. You're
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: having a good time doing it. So good. Anya Parker,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: thanks so much for this time. We'll talk a little
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: more about the philanthropic approach to this when we do
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: our final conversation next hour.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, Jeff looking forward to it.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: All right, take good care, excellent to report from Parker May,
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: commentator sports commentator of the mighty nine ninety KWAM. He
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: joined us from the FedEx Saint Jude Championship at TPC
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: South Wind in Memphis on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker Line,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 3: and of course Memphis the home base of the Todd
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: Starn Shown. I know mister Stearns was out there last
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: year for the tournament, and I think in past years
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: as well. We'll get another report from Parker in hour
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: three of this program. We'll talk about family values and
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: the ballot when we return after this short break. I'm
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: Jeff Stein filling in for Todd, and we're so grateful
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: you're along with us on this Thursday edition of the
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: Todd Starn Show. Welcome back to the Liberty University Studio
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: and the Todd Starn Show. Jeff Stein filling in for
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: Todd today. Do we have the guest for the Patriot
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: Mobile Newsmaker line. We're waiting on the guest. Okay, we'll
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: work that in as we can before the time of
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: the hour, and we're scheduled to speak with Congresswoman Nashley
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: Hinson of Iowa just after the top of the hour.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: She is the Republican nominee for US Senate. It's an
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: open seat and one currently held by a Republican, so
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: it's especially important for them to hold on to that.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: We started the program by talking about some family values
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: in the fact that the White House Press Secretary Caroline
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: Levitt announced that she be leaving the role in order
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: to focus on raising her children, which is something that
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: I think so many can fully understand and appreciate. Well. Now,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 3: of course, there's conversation about who might replace her, and
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 3: that includes names that you're going to recognize. I mean,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 3: for example, Carrie Lake's name has been floated now that
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: could be really interesting because again she's an Iowa native,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: native of the Quad Cities region, Iowa, Illinois, went to
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: school to the University of Iowa and was an Arizona
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: television reporter and anchor for her career before she entered
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: the political realm. And if you want somebody at the
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: podium who is really smart, we say whip smart and
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: can dish it out as well as take it in
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: the same way that Caroline Levett has done. That's pretty
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: good choice. You know, Carrie Lake is on the list.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: A lot of people have suggested Scott Jennings of Kentucky
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: because of how he has done as the resident punching
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: bag on CNN, acquitting himself quite well, thank you very much.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: And now he has some radio work that he does,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: so that's another possibility that has been mentioned a lot.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: I have seen some folks and I don't know if
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: this is just one of these flavor of the month things,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: but they're mentioning Spencer Pratt. Remember he was running for
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: mayor of la and obviously very good in the media.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: I have no doubt about that. The only question is
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: is this the right place for that message? Now. I've
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 3: also said in some of the suggestions, the news coverage,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: the tweets, etc. It's like, well, now there are a
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: few other people on a list, and you have to
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 3: wonder when you're balancing this. The role of the White
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: House Press Secretary is terribly important. There's absolutely no doubt
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 3: about that. But that is the person you put in
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 3: this position. If you're taking them away from another job, well,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: where can they do the most good? So, for example,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: and again I have no favorite in this race. But
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: if you say, okay, Scott Jennings is going to be
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 3: the Press Secretary, well okay, that's fine, except then he's
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 3: not the voice of reason on CNN. For example, the
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: New York Post came up with a list of names,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 3: and on that list was Rachel Campos Duffy of Fox
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 3: her husband, of course, Shawn Duffy, the Transportation Secretary. You
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: may not want to have two family members that closely
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: involved in the administration. We know the President does like
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: her work and points it out often. Similarly, Stephen Miller's
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: wife Katie, who again just recently returned from maternity leave.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: She's been mentioned she has a podcast. She quits herself
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: very well. Monica Crowley, who is the ambassador for Protocol,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 3: is on the list, and as a professional communicator, she
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: would be outstanding in the job. We've talked to her
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 3: on the radio multiple times. Jason Miller is on this
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: short list that the New York Post came up with.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 3: Another name is Alina Habba that she was one of
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 3: the President's lawyers in that bogus New York case and
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 3: served as a campaign spokesperson and did a fantastic job.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: She also served as a US attorney in New Jersey
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: until they blocked that. So she's obviously quite talented well
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: first on the issues. And again you need somebody who's
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: got a bit of a track record in terms of
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 3: being able to stand up at the podium and get
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: the message across and deflect and not fall into the traps.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 3: And that's the biggest thing with so many of these situations,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: because some of the reporters in the media room are
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 3: very good and they are fair and they will present
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: good information, and there are others who are trying for
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 3: the gotcha moment. They are trying to set the trap
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: for whoever the spokesperson is, and you have to be
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 3: someone who can then adapt to that, or else you
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: fall into the trap of being like Karine Jean Pierre.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: There's a name from the past who got the nickname
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 3: the Binder because when she walked out for a briefing,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 3: they'd obviously scripted who'd be asking questions, etc. And she
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: would look down at her binder and read, without looking up,
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: read the answer. And so you know, again that's not
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: the kind of extemporaneous spokesperson that you need. Now, there's
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 3: nothing wrong with showing up at the podium with a
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 3: binder with information so that you can have things at
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: your fingertips. It's another thing to be reading it word
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: for word, as if it's a poem that you're reciting
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 3: in third grade or something. And that was what the
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 3: Bidens press secretary did far too much of. But they
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 3: have a variety of names that are floating out there.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 3: And again, the fact that there was not an immediate
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 3: determination of who would take the job going forward suggests
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 3: that they're just going to let it float for a
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 3: little bit. You've got a very strong White House Press office.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 3: You've got some chief aids, some of them I worked
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 3: with when they were doing duty at the Republican Party
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 3: of Iowa prior to caucuses. And so they've got a
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 3: very talented group there. And the question is what do
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 3: you want if you're the president, what do you want
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: this person to be. Do you want them to follow
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 3: the lead of Caroline Levitt and not be afraid to
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 3: shut down the press and spark a little verbal back
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 3: and forth as necessary. Do you want to diminish that role,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 3: not have daily briefings. Let the president handle things when
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: he brings the press into the Oval office, which happens
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 3: on a nearly daily basis. Then you bring some cabinet
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: officials to the podium for briefings on certain topics, which
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: is sort of what they did during the fill in
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 3: period when Ms. Levitt was on her maternity leave. They
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 3: did not bring in some of the deputies or other
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: assistance from the Press office to do formal briefings. That's
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 3: when they brought in cabinet members. And so it says
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 3: that this is not going to shock any of you.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: This president might not go according to the old method
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: or the old form, because again, this is a very
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: different time. It's not like ron Zigler goes out there
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 3: to tell a few newspaper people and press syndicates about
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 3: what the Nixon administration is going to do. It's a
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 3: very different time, and so you may just not need
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: daily briefings anymore. So we'll continue to watch, but once again,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: note which party is the one that supports families as
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 3: the foundation of the republic and which one well likes
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: to pay for mutilation of teenagers, to be quite blunt
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 3: about the whole thing. All right, that's how we're going
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: to close our number two of the program. We'll speak
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 3: with Iowa congress Woman Ashley Hinson about her run for
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: US Senate after the top of the hour, hope you
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: come back. Jeff Stein in for Todd.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: Today live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: It's America's Conservative Blowtorch's.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: American to start lay.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: Hello, fellow Patriots. Jeff Stein speaking to you, filling in
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 3: for Todd today from the Liberty University Studio at my
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 3: home base in the Free state of Iowa. Todd just
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: a little under the weather with one of those summer
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 3: cold things. He'll be back with you as soon as
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: his voice allows. Gives us a chance to get together
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: and continue this coast to coast conversation at nine oh
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: one two six oh five nine two six, same number
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: as always, nine oh one two six oh five, nine
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 3: two six. We'll take your calls in the next segment.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 3: But let's begin this hour of the program by going
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 3: to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line, and we welcome Iowa
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 3: Congresswoman Ashley Hinson. She serves the second District Iowa, Northeast
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 3: Iowa and is the GOP nominee for US Senate. Congresswoman Henson.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 3: Thanks so much for taking the time, yeh.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 8: Glad to be on the show and grateful to talk
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 8: to you today and all your listeners.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 3: All right, So give people a sense of your background.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 3: Those who may not be familiar. We see you pop
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 3: up an awful lot on TV, but that's something that
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: came pretty natural to you over the course of your
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 3: past career.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 7: That's right.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 8: I actually spent a decade telling Iowan stories on the
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 8: morning news. So I like to say, if you can
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 8: get yourself out of bed on a cold Iowa morning
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 8: at two am, you can do just about anything. But
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 8: I think the most important part about my prior career
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 8: before I decided to get into politics, was it is
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 8: about listening. It's about listening and hearing people's stories and
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 8: then turning those stories into action. And so where my
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 8: mom hat every single time I'm in Washington, DC, telling
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 8: those stories common sense Mini men driving mom from Iowa,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 8: and I'm ready to go to take on these serious
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 8: challenges for island in the United States Senate.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: You served in the state House in Des Moines, Iowa,
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 3: third term in the US House, and now running in
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 3: the open seat in the US Senate. I have sent
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 3: to people that this election is not close in terms
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: of well, we don't know whether to vote for this
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 3: person or that person. There are stark differences up and
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: down the ballot. Share if you would some of the
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: differences between you for US Senate and Iowa and your
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: Democrat opponent.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 8: Absolutely well, first and foremost, I actually show up to work.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 8: I think it's really important if you're elected to do
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 8: a job, whether it's in the state legislature or in
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 8: Congress or in the US Senate, that you're actually showing
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 8: up to both. And I'm very proud of my ninety
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 8: eight point eight percent running record these pass three terms
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 8: in Congress. My opponent in this race is an abstinite legislator,
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 8: David Josh Turek. He is a wheelchair paralympian, and I
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 8: will say this, he meets fifty eight percent of votes
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 8: at the state capitol this year. I know Island and
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 8: they know that if they don't show up for work
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 8: more than fifty percent of times, they would be fired
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 8: and would not be promoted. And Josh Turich should not
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 8: be an exception to that. So he missed boks like
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 8: the Iowa bombill, the Rural Health funding deployment, getting those
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 8: out those critical dollars out to rural America. We get
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 8: to vote who helped protect hives from child abuse, So
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 8: I don't think he deserves that promotion. And again, I
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 8: have a strong record of delivering for islands every single day.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 3: Talk if you would, about some of the causes that
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 3: you have advocated across the board in Washington, and I
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 3: know you're very proud of your work on the Appropriations
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 3: Committee because that has its hand in everything, doesn't it well.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 8: It certainly does, And I think the most important part
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 8: about my work there is we are able to conduct
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 8: the much needed oversight on the federal government. And we
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 8: had four years of President Biden. It was like a
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 8: black hole getting that administration to answer questions about anything.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 8: President Trump's administration is the most transparent we've ever had,
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 8: I believe in my lifetime certainly, And we're able to
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 8: get answers to our question and most importantly, we're able
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 8: to get accountability. So we're protecting taxpayers, we're getting rid
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 8: of the waste broad abuse by cutting wasteful sending out
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 8: of our budgets. But then we're also able to make
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 8: critical investments in Iowa agriculture, in healthcare, in our nation's veterans,
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 8: the people who have put their lives on the line,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 8: and so that's where I have been able to deliver
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 8: back for Iowa taxpayers while still providing that much into accountability.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 8: I'll say this again. You talk about the contrast between
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 8: what I bring to the table and my opponent, Josh
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 8: shurech He has talked about a fifty percent corporate tax
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 8: rate and a ninety one percent marginal tax rate. So
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 8: what that says to me is that Turk's going to
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 8: raise your taxes. He's going to side with Chuck Schumer.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 8: The mom Donnie the abdul Al sayed, like what we
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 8: see ow in Michigan. And that's if he even shows
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 8: up to work. So I will be fighting to put
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 8: more money back in your pocket. He surely will try
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 8: to take it out of your pocket.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 3: I know that the Republican Party of Iowa is diving
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: into the liberal stances taken by your opponent, and they're
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 3: going to talk about that at the Great Iowa State
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: Fair tomorrow. When you go across the state as you do,
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 3: and you've hit all ninety nine counties, which is a
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 3: tradition in Iowa politics, what do you hear from people
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 3: in terms of some of these policies of the ultra
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 3: woke as opposed to what you have been advocating as
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 3: somebody who is concerned about fiscal restraint.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well it's very simple. It's common sense versus crazy.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 8: Not only do islands expect their representatives to show up,
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 8: that's a common sense thing, but they also want someone
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 8: who's not going to vote for these crazy policies to
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 8: move them forward. And a few times my opponent did
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 8: show to vote. He voted for those things. He's voted
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 8: to allow kids to change their gender at school without
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 8: telling the parents about it, and he voted to allow
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 8: taxayer funded weal for benefits to go to illegal immigrants.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 8: He voted to make it so that our sheriffs who
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 8: are in these sanctuary city areas would not have to
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 8: comply with ices. So I think those policies are incredibly liberal.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 8: Be liberal for Iowa. Who woke for Iowa? And the
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 8: more Islands are learning about Josh Stuart, the less they
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 8: seemed to like him. So again, the choice in this
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 8: election is simple. He's out there acting like a moderate,
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 8: but it doesn't match his liberal records. So if a
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 8: choice between me, he voted again Paxtic on tips over time,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 8: focal security, investing in our young families by standing the
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 8: child's tax credit and someone who wants again to take
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 8: that tax relief away for working family.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 3: On day one, we're speaking via the Patriot Mobile newsmaker
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 3: line with Ashley Hinson, currently congresswoman from Northeast Iowa, Republican
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 3: nominee for US Senate in that open seat to preserve
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 3: the Republican majority. Online Ashley Hinson dot com, Hi, n
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 3: s O. N Ashley Hinson dot com. There's a nice
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: subtle contribute button in the corner of the web page.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 3: If you are so inclined, if you like what you hear,
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 3: that's for me to say and not for you to emphasize,
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 3: because I'd rather you emphasize some of the things that
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 3: you've been working toward. And as a member of the
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 3: Appropriations Committee, I mean, you hear about we're going to
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 3: have a forty trillion dollar deficit. So what are the
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 3: priorities that we need to focus on. What would you
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 3: advocate in the US Senate.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 8: Well, certainly a strong national defense can actually help save
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 8: us money in the long term. So making sure we're
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 8: making the right investments in our war fighters because difference
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 8: and through strength is important. We need to make those
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 8: critical investments. But I think investing in American agriculture is
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 8: also important. We need to be innovating. You need to
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 8: be leading in that front. The other place where I
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 8: think the United States really needs to lead. After forty
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 8: years of Biden, who put US American energy labs, we
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 8: need to continue that leadership so that we have the power.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 8: We need to have the transmission that we need to
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 8: be able to compete globally. That helps make sure we
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 8: can make those critical investments in American manufacturing and we
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 8: can continue to advance the opportunities for the American people.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 8: So those are places where I think we can make
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 8: real progress. As a US Senator, I will again show
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 8: up and make sure we're holding the line. And the
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 8: reason why this election is so critical is because Democrats
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 8: think I was for sale. They think that our country
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 8: is for sale, and they're already pouring millions of dollars
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 8: into this state because for them it's about powers. For me,
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 8: it's about protecting the future of the country. So you
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 8: mentioned my website death and what I would ask everyone
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 8: is if you if you like what you're hearing, and
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 8: I am going to ask because this is going to
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 8: be a critical piece to hold the line told very well,
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 8: be September fifty. Please invest in our race. A yard
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 8: sign costs a couple bucks. Pleasing five dollars can help
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 8: us to make sure we're getting our message out across
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 8: the state. And you're right, I have gone to all
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 8: ninety nine counties. It is an Iowa's addiction. But I'm
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 8: going to earn it. I have never lost an election.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 8: I don't plan on starting now, but I do that
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 8: the old fashioned way by getting out there, having those
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 8: kipping table conversations with islands and earning everything of those.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 3: And again, you only win if you take care of home,
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 3: if you take care of what the voters you're constituents want.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 3: But there are national implications to the US Senate, and
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 3: it is an open seat. This question will tell us
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 3: an awful lot. I think harder to deal with Democrats
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 3: in Washington or two teenage boys.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 8: Well, yeah, being a teenage boy mom certainly gets you
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 8: ready to serve in Congress. And I joke about this
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 8: all the time because you're constantly negotiating with unreasonable people
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 8: and their personal hygiene is questionable. So I would say
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 8: there's a lot of similarities between being a teenage boy
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 8: mom and working in Washington, DC. But I will say
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 8: this that it is about holding the line against some
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 8: of these crazy policies. And I've always governed with the
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 8: idea that I'm going to work with anybody who shares
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 8: my passion and vision for getting Iolist priorities, common sense
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 8: things across the finish line. But you've got you. I'm
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 8: going to fight tooth and nail against policies that I
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 8: think are wacky for our country, and we are seeing
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 8: that threat with us every single day of these Democrats
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 8: socialist candidates who are making it through primaries.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 8: I don't think socialismselves in Iowa, but we have to
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 8: hold the line against that creep. And again what I mentioned,
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 8: I mean Josh Huruch is masperating as a moderate. His
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 8: voting record when he did show up shows how liberal
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 8: he is, but he would be locksack with those socialists
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 8: in the US Senator if he gets that promotion. So
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 8: I think Islands are going to reject that. And Alex
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 8: common sense the minivan driving home from Ioland So I'm
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 8: looking forward to serving our state and our country in
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 8: the United States Senate.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 3: And again you can help out as you listen across
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 3: the United States Ashley Hinson dot com contribute button, learn more,
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 3: and share the information with your friends. Congresswoman, thank you
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 3: for the time. We'll let you get back to the
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 3: campaign trail and talk again soon.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 8: Thank you Jeff for having me.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 3: Ashley Hinson, Congresswoman from Northeast Iowa. She is the GOP
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 3: nominee for US Senate. That's the seat that for the
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 3: past twelve years has been held by Senator Jony Ernst,
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 3: who lived up to her campaign promise originally when she
• 1:25:58

• 1:28:21
  Speaker 3: to be honest. But I'll tell you this book by

  Speaker 3: again wherever you get your good books these days. We
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 3: have a variety of guests that have appeared on the
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 3: program today, and all of them, every single one of them,
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 3: appeared on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. You know, everyday
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 3: Americans make choices that shape our country's future. We've been
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 3: talking about elections. Of course we think about that, but
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 3: you make decisions every day based upon a variety of factors.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 3: I know, when I'm hiring people to do work at
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 3: the house or whatever, I kind of want to know
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 3: what their politics are because I don't want to support
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 3: things I don't believe in, even indirectly. And when it
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 3: comes to cell phone companies, well that's even more of
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 3: a direct thing. You hear these big woke brands. I
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 3: don't want to pay that. I don't think you do either.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 3: What a lot of people may not realize is that
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 3: Patriot Mobile is not just a wireless provider. Yes, they
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 3: do provide wireless services at top quality, but they're also
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 3: an organization that is active in important causes. Now, how
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 3: do they get the money to do that, Well, they
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 3: sell top tier cell phone service. Patriot Mobile has been
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 3: defending our freedoms long before it was fashionable, standing in
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 3: the gap when others wouldn't. Now you get prioritized premium
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 3: service on all three major US networks. So if you
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 3: switch to Patriot Mobile, and you should, you'll get the
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 3: same or even better coverage. One hundred percent US based
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 3: customers support that's important. You can get unlimited data plans,
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 3: mobile hotspots, international roaming, whatever you need. They are there
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 3: not to serve their purposes. They're to serve you as
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 3: a customer, and then the money you pay then they
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 3: use for good causes. You're helping grow a movement that
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 3: fuels the Christian Conservative cause because every bill you pay
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 3: to Patriot Mobile helps advance the values of faith, family

• 1:31:44
  Speaker 3: I mentioned earlier today this brand new report from the
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 3: Health and Human Services Department, Secretary Kennedy's department called wolves
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 3: in White Coats, and I notice on the Twitter x
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 3: machine this is posted on the Vice President's account. There's
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 3: a bit where it is the Vice President, Secretary Kennedy
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 3: and others and they're talking about this very disturbing report
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 3: where medical procedures that encouraged trends support and we're talking
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 3: about treatments, puberty blockers, even surgery. They were encouraged by
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 3: some hospitals and clinicians because of profit, not because it's
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 3: what's best for the child. It was purely profit and
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 3: there's been a referral to the Department of Justice about it. Well,
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 3: if you want to see that video, you can go
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 3: to my account. I posted and retweeted it. I am
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 3: on the Twitter x machine at Iowa Politics. Iowa Politics,
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 3: you'll find me on Twitter and Truth, Social, Instagram, all
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 3: of the social media except Facebook. No, no, no, Jeff
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 3: does not do Facebook, but you find me on all
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 3: of them at Iowa Politics. And you'll see this video
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 3: from JD Van's Bobby Kennedy about this really disturbing report
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 3: wolves in white coats. It's definitely our top item of
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 3: conversation today. We'll get back to the Saint Jude Championship
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 3: after this break. Jeff Stein in for Todd on the
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 3: Todd Starn Show. Welcome back to the Liberty University Studio
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 3: and the Todd Starn Show. Jeff Stein filling in for
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 3: Todd today on this Thursday, Todd just a little under
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 3: the weather summer cold kind of stuff. He'll be back
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 3: with you soon as his voice returns. In the meantime,
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 3: purchase a copy of The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 3: Todd's new book. You get it wherever you get your
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 3: good books these days, and if you're an Amazon Prime,
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 3: order it now, you'll get it tomorrow. Let's go to
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 3: the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. One last time. We've done this.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 3: Each of the hours of the program, Please to welcome
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 3: back Parker May, sports commentator for the mighty nine ninety KWAM. Well, Parker,
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 3: I hate to be the guy, but it's ninety five
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 3: degrees in Memphis, Tennessee, and it feels like one oh three.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 3: That's actually an improvement over last hour, Sir.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 5: I'm not hard to believe. Just to shine here, but
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 5: I mean, I could maybe give you a degree better,
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 5: but I don't know. It's hot and it's only one,
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 5: so I fear it could only be hotter. It even
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 5: goes on.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir, well it's a that's fair. Data doesn't lie,
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 3: but firsthand impressions are even better. And so that's that's
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 3: what it feels like at one thirty Central time on
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 3: this Thursday. The philanthropic aspect. We talked about this a
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 3: little in the first hour, but I want to hone
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 3: in on it. This is the FedEx Saint Jude Championship
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 3: and it's the first of three tournaments to determine the
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 3: winner of the FedEx Cup for the PGA. So it's
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 3: a huge thing. But for Saint Jude and the patients,
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 3: talk about how that aspect has continued throughout all these years.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a really great point. The Saint Jude go
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 5: to chap So it's been a staple of this event
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 5: for many years, and I think what makes it even
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 5: more special is the fact that the players understand that
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 5: and that they go out of their way and they
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 5: take time to spend sim with some patients on the
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 5: pro MDA. Yesterday you had a sink jud patient's the
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 5: eleventh hole. All the players will spend simon, get to
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 5: them on the eleventh hole, walk with the hole with them.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 5: And the really special thing that gets the most attention
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 5: is Sunday, throughout the final groups coming in, there's a
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 5: Saint Jude patient who's a pen holder on the eighteenth hole.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 5: They wrote today. There's about eight of them that come
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 5: every year, and so those patients gets to be the
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 5: pen holder and then they'll get to take a picture
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 5: with the trophy with the winner and kind of enjoy
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 5: that moment with him and the winners as Factory's have
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 5: really done a great job of welcoming those kids into
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 5: that moment and really kind of celebrating them among the
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 5: moment as well.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 3: And that's fantastic. And again I have very limited experience directly,
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 3: but I do cover my station sponsors a charity program
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 3: as the media sponsor that the major champion, Zach Johnson,
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 3: hosts each year. And you cannot find a better bunch
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 3: of human beings I've found up and down the line
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 3: than these pro golfers because they interact with the crowd,
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 3: they're happy to do the media and again when it's
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 3: a proram or a charity event, they could take the
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 3: day off, but they donate their time to give back
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 3: like this, and the community, especially in Memphis, really seems
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 3: to respond to it given the cause.
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 5: You're exactly right, the community really does as well. And
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 5: the fans that are along the eighteenth pole with this
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 5: ceremony taking place on sundayternoon, which will be a great
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 5: scene in a couple of days, the fans cheurit these
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 5: kids on like it is the biggest day of their life.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 5: I think that's something makes this movie for the kids
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 5: even more special.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 3: And again, great impact on the Memphis community, and so
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 3: many thousands of dollars raised to support the tremendous Saint
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 3: Jude Children's Research Hospital and so much more tied to
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 3: this whole event. All right, So I do have to
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 3: admit you're not sounding as fresh as you did two
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 3: hours ago. My friend, what are you gonna Are you
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 3: gonna have to mix up the electrolyte slash water mixture
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 3: to keep yourself going or because you've got hours left
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 3: out there, don't you.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a really tough predicament. We're in here now, Jeff,
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 5: the last group. It's qubably a whole four or five
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 5: about now, so still a lot of GOLFI but I
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 5: hear at tousy Southend, but I've been trying to go
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 5: no caffeine because you don't want to. It's so hot
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 5: you don't really want to stow it out here.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 6: But we might have.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 5: To see we'll get a second wave in here, maybe
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 5: get another press couers in here shortly, so get us
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 5: some energy. But it's it's all around. Been a great day,
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 5: but it as hot as you mentioned, all.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 3: Right, So who's holding up better? You were? Dylan?
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 5: I think it's styling right now that he was already
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 5: a little sunburned when we got here today from his
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 5: past beats trip. So he's losing the sunburn battle, but
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 5: he's probably winning the sweat battle, because I've been out
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 5: here a little bit longer.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 3: See, this is why I'm not helpful. I'm I'm now
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 3: pitting you gentlemen against one another. That's that's not the
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 3: spirit of team work that the mighty nine to ninety
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 3: was founded on. Oh shame on me for that. The golf, though,
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 3: is excellent because this course, as I understand it, is
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 3: one that the that the players really like, because it's
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 3: you were mentioning different forms of grass than some have
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 3: been used to playing on. Uh and and that adds
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 3: to the interest for them. A lot of folks who
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 3: don't pay much attention, they assume, Okay, there's the t box,
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 3: there's a hole, Okay, just just hit it down the road,
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 3: you know, down the fairway. But they're all nuances of
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 3: TPC South. When that folks may.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 5: Not realize, Yeah, this is the furthest course that you
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 5: can just say, just hit it from point A to
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 5: point B. And that's golf. When there's when there's water
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 5: hazards on eleven holes or bunkers all over the place,
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 5: you can't just hit it strade every time you gotta
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 5: go a little bit left. You gotta find a way
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 5: to avoid the water. And me and Blivan and focusing
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 5: on the eighteenth pole, and we've seen guys go out
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 5: of their way, missing right of the fairway just to
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 5: avoid the big pond on the left side. And I
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 5: think that's what makes it so tough. And you mentioned
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 5: the services. One of the best players in the world,
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 5: Roy McElroy, has struggled at this course multiple years. Last
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 5: year didn't even play it.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 6: Two years ago.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 5: He struggled in today, not up to a good start
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 5: with a seventy four four over in his first round,
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 5: and he meant it's the Bermuda graft. He hasn't played
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 5: on it since May. We talked about when I talked
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 5: to him yesterday. He hasn't seen that surface since May,
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 5: so he's really focusing on trying to get reacclimated to
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 5: that surface. And still I guess really haven't gotten off
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 5: to the good start he won.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 3: Do they change equip meant in terms of what clubs
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 3: they may use, and the old days we change a
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 3: depth of cleats. I don't even know if people were
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 3: cleats anymore. It's been so long since I've golfed with
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 3: good reason because I was horrible at it. It was
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 3: not safe. But do they change up techniques or equipment?
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 5: You do a little bit based on the services. You've
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 5: seen a few of the player, especially the ones that
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 5: were used to playing the Links golf, and they had
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 5: the British Open and the Scottish Open over there in Europe.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 5: Those events to require more two irons three irons, but
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 5: here with this course, it kind of events presents more
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 5: opportunity to have like a five wood, seven woods, more
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 5: three woods coming into play instead of those two and
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 5: three irons where you really are trying to keep it
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 5: low and powerful.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 3: And the golf balls these days, I mean, the technology
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 3: is improving all the time, and as it is with
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 3: all equipment, but really the golf ball itself is that's
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 3: the thing that doesn't much change as I understand it.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 5: No, it really doesn't. They're gonna use the thing golf
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 5: ball all year round. A lot of them have special
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 5: design golf balls taylor to each way they play to
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 5: kind of help set them best up for each tournament.
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 5: And so they take their shots and they know how
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 5: they're going to hit the ball, and they find the
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 5: golf ball that helps them put the ball in the
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 5: best spot to win.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 3: Now we've had three very good, fun extended conversations, Parker.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 3: Let's close by you telling us what we should all
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 3: pay attention to as this tournament continues until somebody hoists
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 3: the trophy on Sunday.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna give you a storyline that's probably not gonna
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 5: be the first storyline you're gonna see. Everybody's gonna care
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 5: about the winner and how Scotty and Rory and these
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 5: biginnings are going to be finishing. But I want to
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 5: take a look at the bubble in the top fifty
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 5: guys who are battling it out just trying to make
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 5: it to next week in Saint Louis for the BMW Championship.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 5: That's the story that I really love to follow as
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 5: we get into Saturdam Sunday, because those guys are playing
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 5: just to get to next week, and the top fifty
• 1:42:01

• 1:42:04
  Speaker 5: a spot and all the signature events, So getting that

• 1:42:53
  Speaker 3: let's close today's program by going to the Patriot Mobile
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 3: newsmaker line, and we welcome Kim Miller. Ms Miller is
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 3: founder and president of America's Women. You find them online
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 3: America'swomen dot org. Mis Miller, thanks so much for taking
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 3: the time. How are you?
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 7: I'm great? Thank you so much for having America's Women
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 7: on your program today.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 3: Well tell us America's Women, who are you folks? And
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 3: what do you do?
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 7: Well? We are in were based in Arizona, but we
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 7: have answered the call to go into other states because
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 7: back in twenty twenty when everything was going crazy, a
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 7: group of mainly Christian women's women got together and we
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 7: just saw what was going on and how so many
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 7: women were just bewildered what we could do about it.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 7: So we just started sharing information as we were learning,
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 7: and we kept growing and growing, and now we have,
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 7: you know, somewhere around fifty thousand people following us, and
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 7: we've gotten impacting elections. We've just done all kinds of
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 7: things to really promote families and faith and freedom, getting
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 7: women informed, engaged and voting to shift back to good.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 7: So that's what we're about.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 3: Obviously, there are so many key issues in the November
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 3: election direction of the country being among them, and this
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 3: everything you've just mentioned is key to that. And nothing
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 3: good came out of COVID, but one small thing might
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 3: have been that mothers and fathers actually got to figure
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 3: out what their kids were being taught in school because
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 3: of that distance learning. It's one thing for a parent,
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 3: I suppose I don't have kids, but you have raised
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 3: yours to say, well would you learn in school? Or
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 3: what'd you do in school? And the kid just kind
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 3: of says a few things. But when you actually could
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 3: oversee and hear these online lessons, that was a wake
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 3: up call for a lot of folks, wasn't it.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 7: Oh yes, it was. We have five kids and our
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 7: youngest son was a freshman in high school during that time,
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 7: and even even he was just go under, I couldn't
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 7: believe the stuff that was being taught from his private school.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 7: Even so, you really can't just coast when you're a
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 7: parent anymore, especially your kids are in a public school,
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 7: because there is definitely what we've learned is there is
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 7: a concerted effort to really create activists at your school
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 7: to create confusion. Many of those people. Meanwhile, there could
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 7: be teachers who have compassion and they want everyone to
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 7: feel included, but what they end up doing is pushing
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 7: kids into sexualization and confusion, which ends up destroying kids.
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 7: So we're coming alongside client to improve public schools, but
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 7: also encourage school choice, you know, homeschooling and all kinds
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 7: of other options, so that really take care of our kids.
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 3: What was the tipping point for you personally where you
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 3: said I need to do something about this and you
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 3: got together with like minded individuals. Because it's one thing
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 3: to sit back and say things are terrible. It's another
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 3: to step up and run a statewide organization that then
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 3: goes national.
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, this this was something that we felt God was
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 7: calling us into. It's not something we just decided. We're
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 7: all busy, were raising our kids and businesses. But the
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 7: tipping point was when our schools were shut down, our
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 7: churches were shut down, there were race riots going on,
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 7: and we women just said, wait a minute, this what happened.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 7: We took our eye off the ball holding our elected
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 7: officials accountable. It's time for us women to roll up
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 7: our sleeves and do what we do best. We get
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 7: things done. We get connected, We started sharing information. And
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 7: one thing that kind of happened in the Phoenix area
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 7: is we were watching all this craziness happening in Portland
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 7: and other cities where there were the race riots, and
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 7: we read that there was a city council decision coming
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 7: up to put a mural across our city hall that
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 7: read Black Lives Matter, and we knew whether that was
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 7: going and we just shared the word with a bunch
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 7: of women, and within an hour we had about one
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 7: hundred women signed up to be on the city council
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 7: zoom meeting, and they took it off the agenda, and
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 7: we thought, whoa, hey, you know, we can actually get
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 7: stuff done if we just get together and share the information.
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 3: Like they say, nothing succeeds like success, and that's really
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 3: the motivation that one needs. So as we look to
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 3: this twenty twenty six election and our core values are
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 3: on the ballot and folks are listening across the country.
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 3: They can learn more at america'swomen dot org. But if
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 3: people like the sound so far of what they've heard,
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 3: what can they do to get involved? What's a good
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 3: way to start for someone listening to this conversation on
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 3: the radio.
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 7: Yes, thank you for asking. Because we try to make
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 7: it simple and easy for busy women and men to
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 7: come in and to unpack what's really important. We have
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 7: a newsletter every week. We also have social media where
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 7: you can find out what's happening, why it matters, and
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 7: what to do about it.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 6: So not just.
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 7: Complaining about what was happening on the TV nationally, but
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 7: you can make so much more impact locally. So we
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 7: say shift culture, start local. So we want people to
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 7: understand how they can do that, whether it's going to
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 7: school board meetings, learning about what bills are at their
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 7: state legislature, ways to make their message hurt. So we
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 7: wanted to go and sign up, and it's for those
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 7: people who are not even necessarily political they're just value
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 7: safed Americans who care about the issues. And our main
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 7: three points during this election season really the overarching messages,
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 7: it's your family on the ballot, And we even have
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 7: an event happening in Arizona on September eighteen called your
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 7: Family on the Ballot. But the three main issues that
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 7: we see that women care most about are protecting female dignity,
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 7: child innocence, and school choice. Those three tend to be
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 7: on the ballots in many many states across the country,
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 7: and families people every staveraged people need to show up
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 7: this election because there's I think, not any more consequential
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 7: election than we've had in about fifty years or so
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 7: because of this the dichotomy of visions for this country.
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 7: So we've got to show up.
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 3: And I've only got about a minute or a little more.
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 3: But it sounds to me like you had motivation, there
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 3: was the tipping point. You got started locally in Arizona,
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 3: you had good success, you broadened out a little bit.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 3: People are now asking you what they can do to
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 3: where this is now a national movement called America'swomen Americaswomen
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 3: dot org. Sounds like you folks are very willing to
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 3: chat with anybody who says, how can I do this here?
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 3: If they'd like some more information, You've got all manner
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 3: of ways where they can dialogue directly with you.
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, we want people to talk to us where. Actually
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 7: we have some people interested in connecting in Ohio and
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 7: some other states. We've even got people in Colle Colorado.
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 7: As crazy as things are going on there, there are
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 7: people interested in saying, what can I actually do, not
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 7: just to show up at rallies and so forth, but
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 7: what can I do locally to really get involved and
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 7: change where I live. These things that are local really
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 7: impact your kitchen table and your neighborhood. And we want
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 7: people to steward their family and feel that hope that
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 7: comes when they realize they can actually do something. They
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 7: get excited and they find their friends. So we want
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 7: them to come to our website get connected with other people.
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 7: As I said, we are expanding starting to in other states.
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 7: So whatever state you're a part of, let us know.
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 7: Go to info at America'swomen dot org and you can
