- 0:12Speaker 1: From Memphis, Tennessee, it's Common Sense Conservative Commentary from Todd Starnes.
- 0:22Speaker 2: You know, I want to tell you something. And by
- 0:28Speaker 2: the way, hello, everybody. This is Todd Starnes. Great to
- 0:31Speaker 2: be back with you. I am highly caffeinated and favored,
- 0:36Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. First of all, we've really got a
- 0:40Speaker 2: terrific show for you. And I'm telling you, we are
- 0:44Speaker 2: hitting the ground running. Tony Perkins is going to be here,
- 0:47Speaker 2: Family Research Council. Congresswoman Mary Miller is here. along with
- 0:52Speaker 2: Robin Walensky, who was at the Trump rally in Georgia,
- 0:57Speaker 2: in Dalton, Georgia, over the weekend. And we're also introducing
- 1:01Speaker 2: you to a lady I met in California. Her name
- 1:05Speaker 2: is Jenny Rae LaRue, and she is the Republican nominee
- 1:09Speaker 2: for California's 47th congressional district. Very good chance that she
- 1:15Speaker 2: wins that election in spite of of the redistricting efforts
- 1:20Speaker 2: of Gavin Newsom. So let me tell you why I'm
- 1:24Speaker 2: in a great mood here. I was in California over
- 1:27Speaker 2: the weekend, and I was the master of ceremonies at
- 1:31Speaker 2: the annual celebration of justice sponsored by the Pacific Justice Institute.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Had about 1,000 people. Everybody's in tuxedos and ball gowns
- 1:40Speaker 2: and just having a good old time. and raising a
- 1:43Speaker 2: lot of money for Pacific Justice Institute as they fight
- 1:47Speaker 2: for freedom around the nation. So just a wonderful event
- 1:51Speaker 2: there in Anaheim, California. Do you know that, you know,
- 1:57Speaker 2: if you've listened to the show, we have a lot
- 1:59Speaker 2: of folks calling in, and folks are a little demoralized.
- 2:02Speaker 2: And I get that, and we've been through that. I
- 2:04Speaker 2: don't want to rehash that right now. But there's a
- 2:07Speaker 2: lot of angst out there and a lot of anxiety,
- 2:09Speaker 2: and a lot of it is actually coming from the
- 2:11Speaker 2: Republican Party. And I've been a pretty hopeful person over these,
- 2:16Speaker 2: I don't know, past several months. Now, Dylan, have I
- 2:19Speaker 2: not been in a good mood? I'm not moaning and
- 2:22Speaker 2: groaning and like, oh, my boo-hoo, we're going to lose
- 2:28Speaker 2: to the communists.
- 2:29Speaker 3: You've been a pretty glass-half-full kind of guy recently.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Absolutely. Well, and I have to be. I cannot allow
- 2:36Speaker 2: my mind— to go into that dark, dank place. I
- 2:42Speaker 2: just can't do that. And the reality of it is
- 2:46Speaker 2: we just– there's no way I can believe that we
- 2:49Speaker 2: are going to elect communists to the Congress. And let
- 2:52Speaker 2: me just say this. I also don't want to even imagine,
- 2:57Speaker 2: God forbid, the communists get a foothold in the Congress
- 3:03Speaker 2: and they get the majority– And the next thing you know,
- 3:06Speaker 2: I'm going to be picking cotton in the Mississippi Delta
- 3:08Speaker 2: and living in some gulag. And I can't imagine me
- 3:12Speaker 2: doing that. First of all, I don't do well with
- 3:14Speaker 2: manual labor. And picking cotton is hard work. I don't
- 3:18Speaker 2: want to be a cotton picker. I'm just saying. So
- 3:24Speaker 2: I can't allow my mind to go there. But, no,
- 3:29Speaker 2: in all seriousness, I really do believe that everybody is
- 3:33Speaker 2: reading this midterm election the wrong way. I really do. Now,
- 3:36Speaker 2: that does not dismiss the complaints and the concerns you
- 3:40Speaker 2: have about Republicans at all. And we are going to
- 3:43Speaker 2: have to deal with those. But now is not the
- 3:45Speaker 2: time to do that. There will be a reckoning. That
- 3:49Speaker 2: time will come, but not right now. We've got to
- 3:52Speaker 2: make sure that we get out and we do our jobs.
- 3:56Speaker 2: And I will tell you that the voting turnout in
- 3:58Speaker 2: Tennessee especially is has been very, very strong. Over 30-some-odd
- 4:04Speaker 2: thousand people just in the Memphis area have already cast
- 4:07Speaker 2: early votes, which is over 60% more than the last
- 4:11Speaker 2: midterm election. So there's something going on. There's something in
- 4:15Speaker 2: the air. And I can't tell you if those people
- 4:18Speaker 2: are Republican or Democrat, but I saw a lot of
- 4:21Speaker 2: people that look like Republicans. Well, no, they weren't wearing any, like,
- 4:29Speaker 2: you know, signs or anything. They weren't wearing badges saying,
- 4:32Speaker 2: I'm a Republican. But they didn't have, like, magenta hair.
- 4:38Speaker 2: I didn't see any tattoos or, you know, I didn't
- 4:41Speaker 2: see any nose rings in the bunch. They didn't smell.
- 4:46Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, I think everybody was fairly well bathed.
- 4:50Speaker 2: They had proper hygiene. As a matter of fact, I
- 4:53Speaker 2: think a couple of people had just taken some clothes
- 4:56Speaker 2: out of the dryer because I smelled gain. You know,
- 4:58Speaker 2: the laundry detergent. I smell, oh, I'm like, ooh, somebody
- 5:02Speaker 2: smells like gain.
- 5:02Speaker 3: That's a good sign, Todd. So they're either Republican or
- 5:06Speaker 3: very well disguised.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Because if you're downwind from a Democrat, you know it.
- 5:11Speaker 2: You're either going to get the body odor, the BO,
- 5:14Speaker 2: or you're going to get the patchouli, or you're going
- 5:17Speaker 2: to get the devil's lettuce, right?
- 5:19Speaker 3: No Subarus around you when you were out there?
- 5:22Speaker 2: Didn't see a single Subaru. Not a single Subaru. Not
- 5:26Speaker 2: that there's anything wrong with that.
- 5:30Speaker 3: It's just a sign.
- 5:32Speaker 2: We don't judge if you stick shift. Not on this program.
- 5:36Speaker 2: That's not what we do here. We love America. So anyway,
- 5:40Speaker 2: all that to say, I'm feeling pretty good about this.
- 5:44Speaker 2: So I get to California, and I was prepared. I
- 5:47Speaker 2: was prepared to see people like weeping and wailing and,
- 5:51Speaker 2: dare I say, even gnashing of teeth. But ladies and gentlemen,
- 5:56Speaker 2: I didn't see any of that. Not at all. As
- 5:59Speaker 2: a matter of fact, I saw hundreds and hundreds of
- 6:03Speaker 2: conservatives in Southern California who are fired up and they're
- 6:09Speaker 2: excited about voting. I mean, I'm looking around here and,
- 6:14Speaker 2: you know, looking around in Southern California, and let me
- 6:17Speaker 2: tell you something. It's a cesspool. I mean, what they
- 6:20Speaker 2: have done, what the Democrats have done to Los Angeles
- 6:24Speaker 2: and San Francisco, it ought to be a crime. It
- 6:28Speaker 2: is criminal what they have done to those once beautiful cities.
- 6:32Speaker 2: But I think the people are waking up and they're
- 6:35Speaker 2: realizing we've got to make some changes here. So instead
- 6:39Speaker 2: of doom and gloom, I found people that were very
- 6:42Speaker 2: excited to be engaged in a fight to save the
- 6:46Speaker 2: Golden State. And that really encouraged me. I actually left
- 6:51Speaker 2: that entire event being encouraged and thinking, you know what?
- 6:57Speaker 2: They may even have a shot at this in California.
- 7:00Speaker 2: I mean, imagine that. Imagine Republicans winning in California. I mean, look,
- 7:06Speaker 2: it's an uphill climb. But it was so exciting to
- 7:09Speaker 2: see the enthusiasm. And I'm telling you, these Trump rallies
- 7:14Speaker 2: are doing something. The Trump rallies are exposing the lie
- 7:19Speaker 2: in the media. You say, Tom, what do you mean
- 7:21Speaker 2: by that? Which lie are you talking about? I'm talking
- 7:23Speaker 2: about this idea that the MAGA movement is over, that
- 7:27Speaker 2: people have moved on past Donald Trump. That is simply
- 7:30Speaker 2: not true. It's a lie. And folks, you just cannot
- 7:34Speaker 2: believe any of the stories coming out in the mainstream media.
- 7:38Speaker 2: I warned you about this a month ago, and I
- 7:40Speaker 2: told you, especially, you're going to see every little cockroach
- 7:44Speaker 2: coming up out of the White House, yammering about this
- 7:47Speaker 2: and that, and Trump's a big meanie or whatever. And
- 7:50Speaker 2: sure enough, that's exactly what is happening. So just don't
- 7:54Speaker 2: believe any of it. You can read it. It makes
- 7:56Speaker 2: for interesting reading, I guess. But folks, it is not
- 7:59Speaker 2: the gospel truth. And you cannot— and look, some people say,
- 8:03Speaker 2: but Tom, what if it's true? Well, how are we
- 8:06Speaker 2: to know? The media lies so much, so much, it's
- 8:11Speaker 2: impossible to know when they're actually being truthful about something.
- 8:15Speaker 2: So all that to say, in Wichita, there's a little
- 8:18Speaker 2: community called Park City. It's right outside of Wichita, a
- 8:23Speaker 2: very nice area from what I understand. And President Trump tonight,
- 8:27Speaker 2: 6 o'clock Central Time, 7 o'clock Eastern, is going to
- 8:31Speaker 2: be leading another big rally. Do you realize that people already,
- 8:36Speaker 2: they started showing up last night hoping to be able
- 8:40Speaker 2: to get a seat. And we have video up on
- 8:42Speaker 2: our social media feeds of just miles of traffic, people
- 8:48Speaker 2: waiting just to get into the parking lot in Kansas,
- 8:52Speaker 2: which they told us was a lost cause, that we
- 8:54Speaker 2: were going to lose Kansas. We were going to lose Iowa.
- 8:58Speaker 2: We're going to lose Georgia. We're going to lose Tennessee. No,
- 9:02Speaker 2: we're not. And it's exciting, and you have to understand
- 9:07Speaker 2: the strategery here, all right? This has nothing to do with,
- 9:11Speaker 2: because people think, oh my word, we're going to lose Kansas.
- 9:14Speaker 2: Trump has to go to Wichita to save the Republicans,
- 9:20Speaker 2: to pull Roger Marshall's fat out of the fire. Well,
- 9:24Speaker 2: the president may be doing that. But in doing so,
- 9:28Speaker 2: the president is also illustrating that the base, the Republican base,
- 9:35Speaker 2: is still strong. They are still fired up. They are
- 9:39Speaker 2: in the fight, and they're getting out to vote. Now,
- 9:44Speaker 2: let me tell you something. All these polls out there,
- 9:48Speaker 2: and I know that the folks over at CNN are
- 9:50Speaker 2: really upset about all of this because they've come to
- 9:54Speaker 2: the conclusion now, I think just about everybody's come to
- 9:57Speaker 2: the conclusion, that the Republicans are refusing to answer the pollsters.
- 10:04Speaker 2: So in doing so, none of the polling data is
- 10:08Speaker 2: actually authentic. And we saw that happen in previous elections
- 10:13Speaker 2: because the Republican voters are saying, well, you may skew
- 10:16Speaker 2: what I tell you or I don't believe you. I
- 10:19Speaker 2: don't believe the polls. And as a result, they don't
- 10:22Speaker 2: take part in them. So you really can't believe anything
- 10:25Speaker 2: right now. All you can do, the only thing that
- 10:28Speaker 2: you can control is whether or not you get out
- 10:32Speaker 2: and vote. I heard somebody describe it like this. It's
- 10:36Speaker 2: like Noah's Ark. When you go and vote, you bring
- 10:39Speaker 2: somebody with you. Two by two. That's what they did.
- 10:43Speaker 2: Two by two. Bring somebody with you. Preferably they're registered
- 10:48Speaker 2: to vote. But bring somebody along with you. That's what
- 10:52Speaker 2: you can control. And look, if we do that, we're
- 10:55Speaker 2: going to do so well on Election Day. I have
- 10:57Speaker 2: absolutely no doubt about it. So look, we're going to
- 11:01Speaker 2: be taking your calls. I want to hear how things
- 11:03Speaker 2: are going in your area. I know what early voting is,
- 11:05Speaker 2: I believe, in North Carolina as well. Georgia underway. Tennessee.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Want to hear from you today. And how are you feeling, folks?
- 11:13Speaker 2: How are you feeling about the election? Do you have concerns?
- 11:16Speaker 2: I want you to give us a call today. I'm
- 11:18Speaker 2: going to try to walk all of us through these
- 11:21Speaker 2: days together because there's going to be a lot of
- 11:24Speaker 2: misinformation and a lot of efforts by the left to
- 11:27Speaker 2: demoralize you. And we're not going to let that happen
- 11:30Speaker 2: on this radio program. All right, our telephone number, 901-260-5926.

- 11:36Speaker 2: just a minute. Go back to the pandemic. You guys
- 11:47Speaker 2: remember what happened back in, what, 2020? And the media narrative, again,
- 11:52Speaker 2: was absolute. When people said there were some early alternatives
- 11:57Speaker 2: to the pandemic— At the cures, they were silenced and deplatformed.
- 12:03Speaker 2: Remember those days? The late Dr. Zev Zelenko was at

- 12:10Speaker 2: Z-Stack and the Zelenko Protocol, and he faced insane criticism
- 12:16Speaker 2: for sharing his approach. President Trump, you might remember, later
- 12:20Speaker 2: cited him and his great work.
- 12:23Speaker 4: Dr.
- 12:24Speaker 2: Zelensko, his legacy lives on through the original Z-Stack formula.

- 13:25Speaker 2: Z-Stack and the Zelenko Protocol. He faced immense criticism, but

- 13:33Speaker 2: watched the video on X myself. It was amazing.

- 14:29Speaker 2: This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Trust you're doing
- 14:32Speaker 2: well today. No, look, there are going to be some
- 14:36Speaker 2: challenges out there, no doubt about that. But I'm just
- 14:40Speaker 2: telling you right now, this is not going to be
- 14:42Speaker 2: some sort of a Republican bloodbath. I know that's what
- 14:46Speaker 2: Karl Rove and George W. Bush and John Cornyn, all
- 14:50Speaker 2: those guys are wanting. But at the end of the day,
- 14:53Speaker 2: I think we're going to do very, very well in
- 14:57Speaker 2: the midterm elections. Here is CNN, by the way. They're
- 15:01Speaker 2: in panic mode. Cut number six.
- 15:04Speaker 6: What do you think the polls may be missing? Do
- 15:06Speaker 6: you think they're undersampling anything? the kind of voter that
- 15:10Speaker 6: Trump usually brings out, sort of non-engaged voters that may
- 15:14Speaker 6: not respond to a phone call from a pollster?
- 15:16Speaker 4: We know that they don't respond to phone calls.
- 15:19Speaker 7: We know that in the exit polling back in 2016,
- 15:22Speaker 7: and I say this publicly because I want.
- 15:24Speaker 4: People to hear this. You know, I teach at West Point.
- 15:27Speaker 4: I cannot lie, cheat, or steal. The cadets can't.
- 15:29Speaker 8: I can't.
- 15:30Speaker 4: I got 2016 wrong. I believed in the exit polls.
- 15:34Speaker 7: Trump voters walked away, refused to participate because they thought
- 15:38Speaker 7: that it was against them. They thought that the polls
- 15:41Speaker 7: were all biased. And that's what Republicans are being told
- 15:43Speaker 7: right now. Don't believe the polls.
- 15:45Speaker 4: They're not accurate.
- 15:47Speaker 7: Well, they may be. We're about to find out. But
- 15:49Speaker 7: I'm still skeptical. In the end, Republicans are less likely
- 15:52Speaker 7: to participate. They're less likely to believe the polls are happening.
- 15:57Speaker 7: But I'm most interested in turnout in the end. And
- 16:01Speaker 7: there are ways to measure it. And I'm not convinced
- 16:03Speaker 7: that they're doing it. that they're polling how the electorate
- 16:07Speaker 7: overall feels and not polling the people actually going to participate.
- 16:11Speaker 4: But in the end, who the hell cares?
- 16:13Speaker 9: How do you get around that, though?
- 16:16Speaker 7: That's why you have to do focus groups. That's why
- 16:18Speaker 7: you have to do one-on-one interviews. I can tell by
- 16:21Speaker 7: looking at you if you're going to participate or not.
- 16:23Speaker 7: And these are people who are counted in the polls,
- 16:26Speaker 7: but I know they're not going to vote. They sit
- 16:29Speaker 7: like this. Their hands are folded. And they don't really care.
- 16:32Speaker 7: And they're looking down and looking around because they're not engaged.
- 16:35Speaker 7: They're not involved. And turnout determines everything.
- 16:40Speaker 4: And I ask the.
- 16:40Speaker 7: Viewers, pay attention. to how they've asked the questions about turnout.
- 16:45Speaker 7: It's not whether you say you're going to vote or not,
- 16:47Speaker 7: because people lie. How interested are you in the election,
- 16:51Speaker 7: number one? Number two is how often do you collect
- 16:54Speaker 7: election news, political news? And number three, how often do
- 16:57Speaker 7: you talk politics to your friends and neighbors? Those are
- 17:00Speaker 7: three essential questions in determining turnout. And I hate to
- 17:05Speaker 7: say this, but a lot of polls don't ask it.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Wow. Look, they're in mourning. I mean, they're horrified by
- 17:11Speaker 2: this news that Frank Luntz delivered to them. But he's
- 17:15Speaker 2: absolutely right. And the Republicans are just not participating in
- 17:19Speaker 2: the polling data and the polling information. So my question
- 17:23Speaker 2: to you, as those of you who have been early voting,
- 17:25Speaker 2: what are you hearing from the people that you're standing
- 17:27Speaker 2: in line with? I've just noticed we're not seeing a
- 17:30Speaker 2: lot of the magenta hair and all of that kind
- 17:32Speaker 2: of stuff. But I'm just wondering, what is it that
- 17:35Speaker 2: people are talking about as they're waiting in line to vote? 901-260-5926,
- 17:42Speaker 2: our number, that's 901-260-5926. I can tell you in Tennessee,
- 17:48Speaker 2: we've had an interesting turn of events in the gubernatorial
- 17:51Speaker 2: race where Marsha Blackburn, who was at one point projected
- 17:55Speaker 2: to I don't know, win by 50 points. It could
- 18:00Speaker 2: be that this is a very competitive race now because
- 18:04Speaker 2: of an independent by the name of David Hatley. Hatley,
- 18:07Speaker 2: a multimillionaire, dumping $ 12 million of his own money into
- 18:12Speaker 2: his independent run. And there are some indications, there's a
- 18:16Speaker 2: new poll coming out today that allegedly has him at
- 18:20Speaker 2: about 25 points. If he's getting 25% of the vote,
- 18:25Speaker 2: And the Democrat gets all the Democrat votes. That could
- 18:28Speaker 2: be a very, very close race. Is it enough for
- 18:31Speaker 2: Hatley to win? No, but it is enough for him
- 18:33Speaker 2: to be a spoiler. Meanwhile, he's hosting these big events
- 18:37Speaker 2: across the state, and hundreds of people are turning out
- 18:41Speaker 2: and attending these events. So we're going to be watching
- 18:45Speaker 2: in Tennessee. Curious to know how things are going in Texas,
- 18:49Speaker 2: all you fine folks. By the way, we will be
- 18:51Speaker 2: there tomorrow at the big event sponsored by Patriot Talk,
- 18:55Speaker 2: 920 Collectors Firearms, 4 to 7 o'clock. And we'll be
- 19:00Speaker 2: doing a big book signing, going to be speaking, and
- 19:03Speaker 2: looking forward to meeting and shaking hands with every single one.
- 19:07Speaker 2: of our Patriot Talk 920 listeners. And by the way,
- 19:10Speaker 2: even if you don't buy a book, I want you
- 19:11Speaker 2: to come by and say hello and shake my hand.
- 19:14Speaker 2: I just want to say thank you for listening to
- 19:17Speaker 2: the Todd Stearns Radio Show. It's going to be exciting.
- 19:19Speaker 2: We're expecting a big crowd tomorrow night. All right, hang tight, everybody.
- 19:23Speaker 2: Got to take a break. Our telephone number again, 901-260-5926.

- 19:52Speaker 2: hang tight. I want to go right away, though, to
- 19:55Speaker 2: the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Say hello to our good friend,
- 19:58Speaker 2: Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council. Tony, we've
- 20:03Speaker 2: been talking about these polls, and I've been telling our
- 20:07Speaker 2: listeners and viewers, do not believe the polling data. the
- 20:12Speaker 2: Republican voters are simply not talking to these pollsters. I
- 20:16Speaker 2: know Speaker Mike Johnson was on your show just a
- 20:19Speaker 2: few days ago and pretty much said the exact same thing.
- 20:23Speaker 2: What's your take on what we're seeing right now?
- 20:26Speaker 5: Todd, I would say amen to what you said. First off,
- 20:29Speaker 5: polls are, I think, increasingly designed to shape the outcome,
- 20:36Speaker 5: not give us an indication of what's happening. That said,
- 20:40Speaker 5: you know if you listen to the polls it becomes
- 20:42Speaker 5: a self-fulfilling prophecy and it does come to pass but
- 20:45Speaker 5: it's designed to try to to discourage uh... and what uh...
- 20:48Speaker 5: the speaker certainly on the program uh... over the weekend
- 20:52Speaker 5: is that there are a lot of republicans increasingly that uh...
- 20:55Speaker 5: conservatives that don't want to talk to pollsters because they
- 20:58Speaker 5: don't trust them uh... i mean Don't you get tired
- 21:01Speaker 5: of these marketing spam calls? I mean, I hang up.
- 21:05Speaker 5: I don't care who it is. Unless it's somebody I know,
- 21:08Speaker 5: either I don't answer. If they do get me the answer,
- 21:10Speaker 5: I don't talk to them. Not to be rude, but
- 21:13Speaker 5: I don't have time. And I think a lot of
- 21:14Speaker 5: people increasingly don't trust pollsters, and so they're not responding
- 21:19Speaker 5: to this. So here's the bottom line. We have to
- 21:21Speaker 5: turn out and vote, and that's what actually determines the outcome.
- 21:26Speaker 2: You know, Tony, I mean, that's it in a nutshell.
- 21:29Speaker 2: I mean, the Republican Party can only do so much.
- 21:32Speaker 2: They can't force you to get out and to vote
- 21:35Speaker 2: on Election Day. And I get it. There are so
- 21:38Speaker 2: many very valid reasons to be upset with the party
- 21:41Speaker 2: right now, to be upset with what did not get
- 21:44Speaker 2: done with the war in Iran. I mean, I get it.
- 21:48Speaker 2: But those issues can be discussed at a later date.
- 21:51Speaker 2: We've got to make sure we don't allow the communists
- 21:55Speaker 2: or political Islam to gain a larger foothold up on
- 21:58Speaker 2: Capitol Hill.
- 22:00Speaker 10: Agreed.
- 22:01Speaker 5: I mean, look, there's a lot of things I'm not
- 22:02Speaker 5: happy with, but here's how I look at it. Who
- 22:05Speaker 5: do you want kind of leading Congress? Do you want
- 22:08Speaker 5: Mike Johnson or Hakeem Jeffries? That's the bottom line. Whose
- 22:12Speaker 5: policies are going to be more in alignment with what
- 22:15Speaker 5: conservatives want? I can tell you, hands down, it's going
- 22:17Speaker 5: to be Mike Johnson as the Speaker. And I think
- 22:20Speaker 5: he's done a remarkable job these last two years getting
- 22:24Speaker 5: some things through. Remember, there's like 700 or more bills
- 22:28Speaker 5: that died or are sitting in the Senate that never
- 22:32Speaker 5: went anywhere that the House passed. So I understand the frustration.
- 22:36Speaker 5: I feel it every day as we work with Congress
- 22:39Speaker 5: and work with the administration. But I also know we
- 22:42Speaker 5: need to keep pushing, obviously advocating, and letting them know
- 22:46Speaker 5: we're not happy. But... At the same time, which side
- 22:50Speaker 5: do you want to work with? We can't work with
- 22:52Speaker 5: the other side. So I think it's incumbent upon people
- 22:55Speaker 5: to turn out and vote. And, Todd, if I can,
- 22:58Speaker 5: we have a resource available to help people vote. We'll
- 23:02Speaker 5: do a voter guide, a design for them based upon
- 23:06Speaker 5: their polling district. We rank some of the candidates. And
- 23:09Speaker 5: if they want that, all they have to do is
- 23:11Speaker 5: text the word VOTE to 67742. That's VOTE to 67742.
- 23:13Speaker 5: I'll send you a link. And you get your personalized
- 23:19Speaker 5: voter guide. So important that people turn out and vote.
- 23:22Speaker 2: I love this. And you're absolutely right. One of the
- 23:25Speaker 2: things that's really frustrated me about this, and we're going
- 23:28Speaker 2: to share that number again multiple times on the show.
- 23:33Speaker 2: One of the things that really frustrates me, Tony, I'm
- 23:35Speaker 2: a conservative. I'm an evangelical Christian. I'm also loyal to
- 23:40Speaker 2: my party. And so when we have these ferocious primaries,
- 23:45Speaker 2: I support the winner of that primary. They get my vote.
- 23:48Speaker 2: And there have been a couple of times where I've
- 23:50Speaker 2: had to cast my ballot for a moderate Republican because
- 23:55Speaker 2: they won the primary battle. The bigger problem I have
- 23:59Speaker 2: now is you're not seeing the establishment Republicans reciprocate. When
- 24:04Speaker 2: you've got John Cornyn and Karl Rove and former President
- 24:08Speaker 2: Bush out there, for example, in Texas, you know, actively
- 24:11Speaker 2: campaigning against the Republican nominee. the base of the party,
- 24:20Speaker 2: and people get really frustrated. And I get it. John
- 24:23Speaker 2: Cornyn lost, and that was an ugly fight, but that's
- 24:26Speaker 2: still no excuse to give any leeway to James Tallarico.
- 24:33Speaker 5: Well, I don't think they should be campaigning against or
- 24:35Speaker 5: working against a candidate who obviously is going to be
- 24:39Speaker 5: more in alignment with Republicans, like Ken Paxton is going
- 24:44Speaker 5: to be, obviously. There's a lot going on in this
- 24:49Speaker 5: election cycle that unfortunately has, I think, put a greater
- 24:56Speaker 5: divide among conservative voters. I do think we have to
- 24:59Speaker 5: move forward, as you said. You said a couple of
- 25:03Speaker 5: times you had to vote for a moderate Republican. I
- 25:06Speaker 5: can think of more than just a few times. In
- 25:08Speaker 5: the early days, it seems like we were losing as
- 25:10Speaker 5: conservatives all the time. in a lot of these competitions.
- 25:15Speaker 5: But we kept going. We kept working. We didn't stop voting.
- 25:18Speaker 5: And that's the big thing. Todd, as we're talking about voting,
- 25:21Speaker 5: we didn't stop. We kept. We were persistent. We kept
- 25:25Speaker 5: showing up to the polls. We kept working for candidates.
- 25:28Speaker 5: And look where we are. We're in a much better
- 25:30Speaker 5: place than we were 20, 25 years ago. I understand
- 25:34Speaker 5: the culture has shifted, but there's a lot of good
- 25:37Speaker 5: things that are happening. It's kind of like the parable
- 25:40Speaker 5: that Jesus tells of the wheat and the tares. in
- 25:43Speaker 5: that it is a description of the end time. The weeds,
- 25:46Speaker 5: the tare, are more pronounced, but so is the wheat,
- 25:50Speaker 5: the good. And we're seeing that today. And we need
- 25:53Speaker 5: to not get preoccupied with the weeds. We need to
- 25:58Speaker 5: focus on the wheat and continue to nurture that which
- 26:02Speaker 5: is good. And that's not going to happen in the
- 26:04Speaker 5: political realm if we don't vote.
- 26:06Speaker 2: We're talking to Tony Perkins from Family Research Council today.
- 26:10Speaker 2: And by the way, if you'd like to get that
- 26:12Speaker 2: personalized voter guide, all you need to do is text
- 26:15Speaker 2: the word VOTE to 67742, that's 67742, and you'll get
- 26:21Speaker 2: a customized voter guide for your particular area, wherever you
- 26:26Speaker 2: might be voting. Tony, I'm curious about churches. Are you
- 26:31Speaker 2: seeing that more are getting involved, re-engaging with the culture
- 26:37Speaker 2: this election cycle?
- 26:40Speaker 5: I think it's mixed. I do think increasingly as we
- 26:44Speaker 5: see issues that are biblical, spiritual, moral issues that have
- 26:50Speaker 5: been turned into political issues, the churches, you know, for
- 26:54Speaker 5: a while were stepping back, but they realized, no, we
- 26:57Speaker 5: have to address these issues. And it's quite interesting, Todd,
- 27:00Speaker 5: that I think there's about 11 national candidates, you know,
- 27:07Speaker 5: that are preachers, pastors are related to that field. It's
- 27:13Speaker 5: pretty interesting, and most of those are coming from the left,
- 27:15Speaker 5: that the left now is fielding pastors trying to capture
- 27:20Speaker 5: the faith community. Of course, they're using those who have
- 27:23Speaker 5: a kind of unorthodox teaching, certainly not biblical, and not
- 27:28Speaker 5: anchored in biblical truth. But I think that is actually
- 27:32Speaker 5: bringing more churches into the process because they realize that
- 27:37Speaker 5: these topics are being discussed on a national level from
- 27:42Speaker 5: a corrupted theological standpoint. So it's kind of an invitation
- 27:47Speaker 5: for more churches to get involved. So I think this
- 27:51Speaker 5: is kind of a good trend. It could boomerang on
- 27:53Speaker 5: the left in that they're thinking they can use this
- 27:57Speaker 5: to capture more vote, and it's going to bring more
- 28:00Speaker 5: evangelicals and Bible-believing Christians into the process to counter it.
- 28:04Speaker 2: You know, Tony, I'm curious, if you guys have been
- 28:06Speaker 2: getting calls at FRC, you know, maybe from voters who
- 28:09Speaker 2: are confused, they're like, oh, well, you know, I'm a Methodist,
- 28:12Speaker 2: and you've got Adam Hamilton, and Kansas, he's a Methodist,
- 28:16Speaker 2: or I'm a Presbyterian, and James Tallarico is allegedly a Presbyterian.
- 28:21Speaker 2: What are you guys telling folks? Are voters a little confused,
- 28:25Speaker 2: you know, because these guys are claiming to be devout Christians?
- 28:29Speaker 5: Well, I mean, they hear that claim, but what we've
- 28:33Speaker 5: been doing is just taking and dissecting the positions that
- 28:37Speaker 5: they've taken upon Scripture, on human sexuality, on the sanctity
- 28:41Speaker 5: of human life, and showing where Scripture actually, what Scripture
- 28:46Speaker 5: actually says regarding those issues and the Orthodox position historically
- 28:51Speaker 5: and the biblical position on those issues. So, again, I
- 28:54Speaker 5: think it could backfire on the left that's trying to,
- 28:58Speaker 5: you know, put these folks out here to confuse Christians
- 29:02Speaker 5: and it's going to give us an opportunity to educate
- 29:05Speaker 5: them and bring them more into the process when they
- 29:08Speaker 5: realize these people are being deceptive.
- 29:11Speaker 2: One of the things I really appreciate about you personally, Tony,
- 29:14Speaker 2: and Family Research Council in general, you guys have not
- 29:20Speaker 2: moved the line. You have stayed faithful to the cause,
- 29:24Speaker 2: and it is easy to do in Washington. We've seen
- 29:27Speaker 2: so many groups and people over the years that have
- 29:30Speaker 2: been swayed by power and access to power, and yet
- 29:33Speaker 2: you guys have really stayed true to the mission. Has
- 29:37Speaker 2: that been a difficult thing for you guys to do?
- 29:39Speaker 5: It is more difficult when you actually have a Republican administration.
- 29:45Speaker 5: It's easy to be on the outside and say hard
- 29:50Speaker 5: things that need to be said. When it's Democrats, it's easier.
- 29:53Speaker 5: When it's Republicans, it's a little harder. But what gives
- 29:57Speaker 5: us the credibility to call out Tallarico and Hamilton and
- 30:02Speaker 5: others like that is because we've been saying the same
- 30:04Speaker 5: thing to our own, to the Republicans. We haven't changed
- 30:08Speaker 5: our position on the sanctity of human life. We haven't
- 30:10Speaker 5: changed our position on marriage. It's remained the same. And
- 30:14Speaker 5: so it does give us credibility. It makes it harder sometimes.
- 30:17Speaker 5: But our role is not to be an appendage of
- 30:21Speaker 5: the Republican Party or an adjunct portion of an administration.
- 30:26Speaker 5: It is to represent faith, family, and freedom from a
- 30:29Speaker 5: biblical perspective in our nation's capital.
- 30:32Speaker 2: Well, I personally am grateful for that. I know many
- 30:35Speaker 2: others are as well. Tony, we're going to leave it there.
- 30:38Speaker 2: I know you're a busy guy. You've got a lot
- 30:40Speaker 2: going on. And again, I want to give out this information.
- 30:42Speaker 2: It's called the Voter Guide. They will personalize it for
- 30:46Speaker 2: your area. All you have to do is text the
- 30:48Speaker 2: word VOTE to 67742. That's 67742, and you'll get all
- 30:54Speaker 2: of that information. Tony, good to hear from you, my friend.
- 30:58Speaker 5: Todd, always great to be on your program. Have a
- 31:01Speaker 5: blessed week.
- 31:02Speaker 1: All right.
- 31:02Speaker 2: The great Tony Perkins from the Family Research Council. You know,
- 31:06Speaker 2: he's from Louisiana. A lot of people may not realize that,
- 31:10Speaker 2: but they've got the family home, and he spends most
- 31:12Speaker 2: of his time back home in Baton Rouge. And that's
- 31:15Speaker 2: what I love about Tony Perkins. He is not drawn
- 31:18Speaker 2: into the power of and all that kind of stuff
- 31:20Speaker 2: in D.C. He has stayed true to the faith, and
- 31:24Speaker 2: that is a very rare thing in our nation's capital.
- 31:28Speaker 2: All right, here's what we're going to do. We're going
- 31:30Speaker 2: to go right to your phone calls. We do have
- 31:32Speaker 2: to take a quick break. Right to the calls, 901-260-5926,
- 31:34Speaker 2: our number. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. Wow,
- 31:50Speaker 2: we have some Todd Stern Show listeners in the crowd.
- 31:54Speaker 2: They're waiting in line to get into the Trump rally
- 31:57Speaker 2: in Wichita. And it is wall-to-wall people as far as
- 32:00Speaker 2: you can see. Huge turnout there in Kansas for President Trump.
- 32:05Speaker 2: So give us a call, by the way. I know
- 32:07Speaker 2: we have a lot of KQAM listeners online. that are
- 32:10Speaker 2: out there, our great affiliate in Wichita, 901-260-5926. Let's go
- 32:16Speaker 2: to the phones. We will start our day in North Carolina. WSIC,
- 32:22Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, the one, the only, Miss Patty. Hey,
- 32:26Speaker 2: Miss Patty. Hey, listen.
- 32:30Speaker 11: They're trying to suppress you. They're liars. I have a
- 32:35Speaker 11: friend in Flint, Michigan. His name is Jeff. I have
- 32:38Speaker 11: a girlfriend, Lisa, in Edina, Minnesota. Tafoya is giving Peggy
- 32:46Speaker 11: Flanagan a run for her money. You know who's voting
- 32:49Speaker 11: for Tafoya? The independents. So whatever they're telling you on TV,
- 32:55Speaker 11: Tafoya can take that set of seats, Todd.
- 32:59Speaker 2: Michelle Tafoya is, that very well could be a flip
- 33:03Speaker 2: for the Republicans there. She's run a really smart campaign
- 33:06Speaker 2: in Minnesota.
- 33:08Speaker 11: Todd, I'm telling you, my girlfriend Lisa, she got a
- 33:11Speaker 11: job change from here. She lives in Minneapolis. She doesn't
- 33:14Speaker 11: like it. She really doesn't. But Tafoya is really, Tafoya
- 33:19Speaker 11: could win that seat. And I'm going to tell you
- 33:21Speaker 11: about Michigan now. My friend Jeff, he lives in Flint.
- 33:25Speaker 11: It's not what it all seems to be. Mike Rogers,
- 33:28Speaker 11: I'm telling you who's going to vote for Mike Rogers.
- 33:30Speaker 11: He's going to get the black vote, Todd.
- 33:34Speaker 2: That certainly appears to be, and again, we've seen a
- 33:36Speaker 2: lot of interviews, so I'm not sure if those interviews
- 33:39Speaker 2: will add up to a huge shift in voting demographics,
- 33:43Speaker 2: but I think a lot of black Americans understand exactly
- 33:46Speaker 2: what these Islamists are all about.
- 33:49Speaker 11: Well, you know what Jeff told me? He said this
- 33:51Speaker 11: is what they're saying is that if the Muslims get
- 33:55Speaker 11: in there, they're going to be on the back burner.
- 33:57Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
- 33:58Speaker 11: You know what I'm saying?
- 33:59Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 33:59Speaker 11: They know that if they could open borders, all this,
- 34:03Speaker 11: guess who gets pushed aside? It's going to be the
- 34:07Speaker 11: black people.
- 34:08Speaker 2: Patty, I understand you did some door knocking in North Carolina.
- 34:13Speaker 2: How did that go?
- 34:14Speaker 11: That did pretty good. I'm telling you, it's not as
- 34:17Speaker 11: bad as it seems here neither.
- 34:20Speaker 12: You know what?
- 34:20Speaker 11: People are still a little, I mean, people forget in
- 34:24Speaker 11: two years, Todd. You know? People do forget. But I
- 34:29Speaker 11: try to tell people, listen, he's taken, you cannot expect Mr. Trump,
- 34:36Speaker 11: I love him, you cannot expect Donald Trump to do
- 34:39Speaker 11: something in two years that they did for how many years?
- 34:43Speaker 11: It's going to take a long time to undo what
- 34:46Speaker 11: these people have done. Am I right?
- 34:49Speaker 2: Yes, you're absolutely right. But there are also some other issues.
- 34:53Speaker 2: So I'm not discounting anybody's anger or frustration because that
- 34:57Speaker 2: is real and it is deserved. The question is, do
- 35:02Speaker 2: we deserve to get communists in the Congress? And the
- 35:06Speaker 2: answer to that question is no, we do not. And
- 35:09Speaker 2: we cannot allow that to happen.
- 35:11Speaker 11: We're not going to get, I'm telling you, Tom, when
- 35:14Speaker 11: I heard you this morning, you made me so happy
- 35:17Speaker 11: because I'm on your side because I'm telling you, it's
- 35:20Speaker 11: not going to be bad. I think we're going to
- 35:22Speaker 11: do okay.
- 35:23Speaker 2: Yeah, I do too. I do too. Patty, it's good
- 35:26Speaker 2: to hear from you, and you be safe out there.
- 35:28Speaker 2: Glad you're getting out and doing some door knocking. Let's
- 35:30Speaker 2: go to Bartlett, Tennessee. David, listening to us on KWAM. David,
- 35:36Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
- 35:38Speaker 13: Well, just two things real quick. One, you know, I'm
- 35:42Speaker 13: still worried about the democratically controlled areas and the machines
- 35:47Speaker 13: and how they can manipulate them. So I don't trust
- 35:49Speaker 13: the polls. I don't trust, I mean, anything until, you know,
- 35:53Speaker 13: it all comes out. But the other thing that I
- 35:57Speaker 13: don't know if I haven't heard anybody talk about is
- 36:01Speaker 13: we have a lot of young people that's been brainwashed
- 36:05Speaker 13: going through colleges. We have... a lot of old-time Democrats
- 36:11Speaker 13: that are still watching the same channels and not getting
- 36:14Speaker 13: any new news. I'm not sure they even want it.
- 36:16Speaker 13: But I was thinking that if we– and there may
- 36:20Speaker 13: be some ways to do this on social media, but
- 36:22Speaker 13: I'm thinking instead of just getting the message out during
- 36:28Speaker 13: election times, we need billboards or something that says socialism
- 36:33Speaker 13: is stupid and then maybe have a website at the
- 36:36Speaker 13: bottom of that that's simple. And then also, there's all
- 36:42Speaker 13: kinds of different slogans that we could try to use,
- 36:46Speaker 13: but that needs to be 24-7 every day so that
- 36:52Speaker 13: we can start to wake up those people that are
- 36:54Speaker 13: only watching their media channels. And I mean, at least
- 36:59Speaker 13: that's I go through Arkansas every now and then, and
- 37:02Speaker 13: I got these billboards from farmers or whatever and says,
- 37:06Speaker 13: Jesus loves you and all that stuff. And I think
- 37:11Speaker 13: that's great. But I think we need to think, how
- 37:14Speaker 13: are we going to reach the people that are still
- 37:17Speaker 13: watching the same media? We can have all this information,
- 37:22Speaker 13: but if all they're getting is price of gasoline is high,
- 37:26Speaker 13: Trump bad. If that's all they're getting... I think we
- 37:32Speaker 13: need to start talking about not just candidates, but communism
- 37:37Speaker 13: is bad.
- 37:37Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and that is a long-term effort. I love
- 37:41Speaker 2: the idea of memes and Instagram stuff and TikTok. I
- 37:45Speaker 2: think we need to mobilize an army of young conservative
- 37:52Speaker 2: Gen Zers that can do that, but we also need
- 37:56Speaker 2: to start educating kids in the classroom about what socialism
- 37:59Speaker 2: and communism really are. That is the bigger issue. David,
- 38:03Speaker 2: I've got to run. Hang tight, everybody. Hour 2 coming
- 38:05Speaker 2: up next.
- 38:19Speaker 10: From Memphis, Tennessee.
- 38:20Speaker 1: On the banks of the mighty Mississippi. It's America's conservative blowtorch.
- 38:26Speaker 10: That's us, that's right. I love this American ride.
- 38:34Speaker 1: Todd Starnes.
- 38:35Speaker 2: Well, hello everybody. Welcome to Hour 2 of The Big Show.
- 38:39Speaker 2: Great to have you with us today. Write down our
- 38:42Speaker 2: telephone number. You will need that if you plan on
- 38:44Speaker 2: calling in to the program. 901-260-5926, their telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. Well,
- 38:55Speaker 2: there has been a lot of controversy up on Capitol Hill.
- 38:59Speaker 2: Congresswoman Ilhan Omar facing the wrath of the Justice Department.
- 39:06Speaker 2: No charges filed just yet, but a lot of scuttlebutt
- 39:11Speaker 2: A lot of chatter up on Capitol Hill, even the
- 39:14Speaker 2: White House weighing in, President Trump wondering where Ilhan Omar
- 39:20Speaker 2: and how she was able to report a net worth
- 39:23Speaker 2: of $ 30 million just a short time ago. This is
- 39:27Speaker 2: a very fair question to ask. I want to bring
- 39:31Speaker 2: in our next guest. We're honored to have with us
- 39:33Speaker 2: Congresswoman Mary Miller from Illinois. Congresswoman, I know you've been
- 39:38Speaker 2: tweeting about this on social media. I mean, it really
- 39:41Speaker 2: is shocking what we're hearing about Ilhan Omar.
- 39:45Speaker 14: Yes, and I think the American people... will be gleeful
- 39:49Speaker 14: if we can actually get her on something and either
- 39:54Speaker 14: have her arrested or denaturalized and deported. My office is
- 39:59Speaker 14: actually next to her. So I ride the member elevator
- 40:02Speaker 14: with her multiple times a day. I do pray for
- 40:05Speaker 14: her soul, but I want justice. And, you know, she
- 40:10Speaker 14: came to our country because of the generosity of Americans.
- 40:14Speaker 14: And all she does is trash our country and And
- 40:17Speaker 14: I believe we are going to see that she has
- 40:20Speaker 14: taken advantage of the Americans' generosity in every way. And
- 40:24Speaker 14: it's involved in all kinds of illegal activity, including getting
- 40:31Speaker 14: her brother here illegally by pretending to be his wife.
- 40:36Speaker 2: It's just shocking. And all these years later, now finally,
- 40:41Speaker 2: the Justice Department is doing something about it. But the
- 40:45Speaker 2: reality is, you either pledge allegiance to the United States
- 40:48Speaker 2: of America or Somalia. You can't do it to both countries.
- 40:53Speaker 2: And I think that's a big problem with a lot
- 40:54Speaker 2: of folks coming out of the state of Minnesota, for example.
- 40:58Speaker 14: Well, I think we're going to wonder why she and
- 41:01Speaker 14: her whole family and her father were ever allowed in
- 41:06Speaker 14: here in the first place. For a while, I thought
- 41:09Speaker 14: she was from a refugee camp, but I do believe
- 41:12Speaker 14: that her family were high up in the corrupt regime
- 41:16Speaker 14: in Somalia, and we should not be allowing those type
- 41:19Speaker 14: of people here. But what I want, I thank you
- 41:22Speaker 14: for having me on this program because I want to
- 41:25Speaker 14: rally your listeners. Christians in America, you have to get
- 41:30Speaker 14: some adrenaline running through your veins. This election coming up
- 41:34Speaker 14: is so important, and I feel certain that your listeners
- 41:38Speaker 14: are voting, going to the polls and voting, but that
- 41:41Speaker 14: is not enough. You've got to be a force multiplier
- 41:44Speaker 14: in your church, in your neighborhood, at work, among your family,
- 41:48Speaker 14: because what is on the ballot is going to determine
- 41:51Speaker 14: the direction of our country. We are at a crossroads.
- 41:55Speaker 14: The Democrat Party has been taken over by people that
- 41:58Speaker 14: are either sympathetic or they are socialist, communist, or Islamist,
- 42:04Speaker 14: and it will completely restructure how our country operates.
- 42:10Speaker 2: You know, I wanted to get to that. We just
- 42:12Speaker 2: had Tony Perkins on in the last segment and really
- 42:15Speaker 2: issuing a call to action for every Bible-believing Christian in
- 42:19Speaker 2: the country to get out and to vote on Election Day. And,
- 42:22Speaker 2: you know, Congress went over the weekend. We saw those
- 42:25Speaker 2: horrifying images coming out of places like France where buildings
- 42:29Speaker 2: and churches are burning. We don't want that here in America.
- 42:34Speaker 2: And the reality is if we're going to stop that,
- 42:36Speaker 2: we've got to do that coming up on November 3rd.
- 42:40Speaker 14: Absolutely. France is such a warning to us of unchecked
- 42:44Speaker 14: migration and the lack of assimilation, which that's what we
- 42:48Speaker 14: have here. Islamists have gotten a foothold in our country.
- 42:51Speaker 14: I want to tell people it is not a religion.
- 42:53Speaker 14: It is a form of government which is incompatible with
- 42:57Speaker 14: our form of government. And if you look at many
- 43:00Speaker 14: of the countries in the Middle East, if not all,
- 43:02Speaker 14: they were conquered by Islam. And if they weren't conquered,
- 43:06Speaker 14: I guarantee you the women in those countries have been conquered.
- 43:10Speaker 14: And we definitely do not want that here. We need
- 43:14Speaker 14: to remind ourselves what happened under Joe Biden and the
- 43:17Speaker 14: Democrats in four years. They opened the border up and
- 43:20Speaker 14: allowed probably up to 20 million people unvetted to come
- 43:26Speaker 14: into the country. They trafficked children. Our own government under
- 43:30Speaker 14: Joe Biden and the Democrats trafficked children. They lost over
- 43:33Speaker 14: 300,000 to 500,000 children They shut down our energy. They
- 43:39Speaker 14: weaponized the government against the American people, against Catholics, against
- 43:44Speaker 14: parents that showed up at school board meetings, against pro-lifers.
- 43:50Speaker 14: We cannot allow this to happen.
- 43:53Speaker 2: Congresswoman, you have been at the forefront of this effort
- 43:56Speaker 2: to really protect parents who may reject these child gender
- 44:01Speaker 2: transitions that have been happening. There have been some horrifying
- 44:05Speaker 2: stories out there. And you've been one of a handful
- 44:08Speaker 2: of people on Capitol Hill willing to step up and say,
- 44:11Speaker 2: we've got to protect parental rights in this country.
- 44:15Speaker 14: I do have a new bill, the Yaley-Martinez Child Protection Act,
- 44:20Speaker 14: which Senator Schmidt from Missouri is carrying in the Senate
- 44:23Speaker 14: also to put guardrails around child protection services, which is
- 44:30Speaker 14: run by the states, but they do get some federal money,
- 44:32Speaker 14: which means we can put controls and guardrails around them.
- 44:36Speaker 14: They cannot deem parents as abusers if they are refusing
- 44:42Speaker 14: to transgender their children. And I've been on calls with
- 44:45Speaker 14: parents that the moms and dads are openly weeping over
- 44:49Speaker 14: their children being taken out of their home, out of
- 44:52Speaker 14: their care, because they would not transgender their children. Horrifying.
- 44:57Speaker 14: I can't believe this is happening in our country. And
- 44:59Speaker 14: it's not just in blue states, it's all over the country,
- 45:02Speaker 14: blue and red states.
- 45:03Speaker 2: Well, you've been out on the campaign trail, and I'm wondering,
- 45:06Speaker 2: first of all, I'm feeling very good, and I know
- 45:10Speaker 2: I may be in the minority here, Congressman Miller, but
- 45:13Speaker 2: I'm feeling pretty good about our chances of maintaining control
- 45:17Speaker 2: of the House and the Senate. I'm just wondering what
- 45:19Speaker 2: you are hearing out there on the campaign trail there
- 45:21Speaker 2: in Illinois.
- 45:23Speaker 14: Thank you. I feel positive, too. I think the polls
- 45:27Speaker 14: are not accurate. I think they're being used to try
- 45:29Speaker 14: to discourage people. People are razzed up to go vote
- 45:33Speaker 14: in my district. It's a dark red district. People that
- 45:36Speaker 14: are productive and have common sense, they appreciate President Trump
- 45:41Speaker 14: and the America First agenda. They know President Trump doesn't
- 45:45Speaker 14: have a magic wand to instantly fix things, but he's
- 45:48Speaker 14: taken bold steps to secure the border, get our energy
- 45:51Speaker 14: going again, to deregulate so that we can start our
- 45:56Speaker 14: own mining system. For the first time since 1977, we're
- 46:01Speaker 14: looking at building refineries so we can refine our own oil.
- 46:05Speaker 14: The largest fertilizer plant in the world is being built
- 46:08Speaker 14: in Louisiana. He has stood up for the American family
- 46:14Speaker 14: like we haven't had in a long time. But on
- 46:18Speaker 14: day one, he declared there's two sexes, male and female.
- 46:22Speaker 14: We are not going to put men in girls' athletics
- 46:25Speaker 14: and in their private spaces. He stands up for the
- 46:28Speaker 14: American family and for religious freedom. Christians, people, please be
- 46:34Speaker 14: force multipliers. It's not enough for you to go to
- 46:37Speaker 14: the polls. You've got to get the people in your
- 46:40Speaker 14: realm of influence to go also.
- 46:43Speaker 2: Yeah, about a month and a half ago, we started
- 46:44Speaker 2: preparing our audience. We're like, folks, don't listen to the
- 46:47Speaker 2: polling data. Don't listen to all the negative Nancy stories
- 46:50Speaker 2: out there. because it's really propaganda meant to demoralize people
- 46:55Speaker 2: and say, you know what, what's the point of getting
- 46:57Speaker 2: up and going to vote? No, you can't do that.
- 46:59Speaker 2: We have a lot riding on this, and like you
- 47:03Speaker 2: just said, I am very concerned about the rise of
- 47:06Speaker 2: communism in this country, and we've got to put a
- 47:08Speaker 2: stop to that.
- 47:10Speaker 14: Absolutely, and you know, when it comes to politics... It's
- 47:15Speaker 14: all about numbers. And if we don't go out to
- 47:18Speaker 14: vote and we lose the House, we are going to
- 47:21Speaker 14: have someone instead of a God-fearing speaker like Mike Johnson,
- 47:27Speaker 14: we could have a communist God-mocker like AOC being Speaker
- 47:32Speaker 14: of the House. And we cannot let that happen.
- 47:36Speaker 2: No, we can't. Well, Congresswoman, we really appreciate you fighting
- 47:39Speaker 2: the good fight. You've been one of the great conservative
- 47:42Speaker 2: warriors up on Capitol Hill and We're excited for your campaign,
- 47:46Speaker 2: and we wish you nothing but great luck out there
- 47:48Speaker 2: on the campaign trail.
- 47:50Speaker 14: Thank you for having me, Todd. Keep up the great work.
- 47:53Speaker 14: Death and life are in the power of the tongue.
- 47:56Speaker 2: That's it.
- 47:56Speaker 4: Amen.
- 47:57Speaker 2: That'll preach. That's a sermon right there, Congresswoman. Good to
- 48:01Speaker 2: see you. Congresswoman Mary Miller from Illinois on our Patriot
- 48:06Speaker 2: Mobile Newsmaker line today. And I am feeling hopeful, very joyous.
- 48:11Speaker 2: So you're not going to, look, No negative Nancys on
- 48:15Speaker 2: this program. None whatsoever.
- 48:18Speaker 4: All right.
- 48:18Speaker 2: Our telephone number, 901-260-5926. Let's get to the phone lines.
- 48:23Speaker 2: Poor Gary has been holding on for a while. W-O-C-A. Gary,
- 48:28Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
- 48:31Speaker 15: No problem holding, Todd. Thanks for taking the call. I
- 48:35Speaker 15: do a lot of work while I'm listening to you
- 48:37Speaker 15: and on hold, so it's not a problem whatsoever. To
- 48:40Speaker 15: touch on the the thing that earlier before this, this
- 48:43Speaker 15: hour into what your last person, the Congresswoman said was
- 48:47Speaker 15: when Frank Luntz mentioned, um, the, the real, uh, action
- 48:51Speaker 15: comes from focus groups. What he didn't say was, is
- 48:55Speaker 15: that how hard it is, uh, to get people that
- 48:59Speaker 15: will listen and ask questions like he does. If I
- 49:03Speaker 15: was invited to a focus group and NBC affiliate or
- 49:07Speaker 15: NBC was doing it, I wouldn't go. because it ends
- 49:10Speaker 15: up that you end up being belittled or the questions
- 49:13Speaker 15: to you, their mannerisms and how they ask the questions.
- 49:19Speaker 15: So any of the major media, if they wanted me
- 49:21Speaker 15: to participate in a focus group, I wouldn't. And it's
- 49:24Speaker 15: hard because there's not that many people out there like
- 49:26Speaker 15: Frank Luntz that would do a focus group, and you
- 49:30Speaker 15: would see legitimate numbers from it. And I'm just going
- 49:36Speaker 15: through this two things, and then I'll listen to your comments.
- 49:39Speaker 15: The other thing is, over the weekend, I wish someone
- 49:41Speaker 15: would have asked Al-Said if he will, did he believe
- 49:46Speaker 15: the characterization and what the U.S. did with the Muslim Brotherhood,
- 49:51Speaker 15: designating them as global terrorists, if that's accurate and he
- 49:55Speaker 15: agrees with it. They always ask him about his family's affiliation,
- 49:59Speaker 15: and he always dodges it or he knows nothing about it.
- 50:02Speaker 15: I would love to hear the question, do you think
- 50:05Speaker 15: that's the correct classification as a global terrorist?
- 50:08Speaker 2: Gary, I think that's a terrific question. And, you know,
- 50:11Speaker 2: I will tell you, I've just been in those situations
- 50:14Speaker 2: as a reporter, and you sort of get locked in,
- 50:17Speaker 2: and sometimes you get tunnel vision, and you forget to
- 50:20Speaker 2: ask a question. But that is a question that needs
- 50:25Speaker 2: to be addressed. We've really got to get to the
- 50:28Speaker 2: bottom of line of his involvement and support of the
- 50:31Speaker 2: Muslim Brotherhood. So it's a fair question you raise, Gary.
- 50:38Speaker 2: Thank you for that call. Hey, folks, got to take
- 50:41Speaker 2: a quick break here. We're going right back to the
- 50:43Speaker 2: phone lines, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. So, Dylan,
- 50:46Speaker 2: I was in Anaheim, California, right around the corner from Disneyland.
- 51:07Speaker 2: And the event was held at the JW Marriott, which is,
- 51:11Speaker 2: you know, a great hotel. And I thought, you know what,
- 51:15Speaker 2: I'm going to get up. I'm going to get up
- 51:17Speaker 2: early and grab some breakfast and just enjoy a nice
- 51:21Speaker 2: leisurely start to the day in California. Because, you know,
- 51:24Speaker 2: you're on Central Time and it's Pacific Coast, so, you know,
- 51:27Speaker 2: you get up early. So I go downstairs to the–
- 51:32Speaker 2: and they had me up on the– The executive, I
- 51:34Speaker 2: had a great suite, just a sweeping view of the
- 51:38Speaker 2: Disneyland Resort and all of that stuff. Really nice. So
- 51:42Speaker 2: I go down there thinking I was going to be
- 51:44Speaker 2: the only person in the dining room. It was wall-to-wall
- 51:48Speaker 2: screaming children.
- 51:49Speaker 10: Oh, no.
- 51:50Speaker 3: Again. That's the worst.
- 51:52Speaker 16: It's just.
- 51:53Speaker 3: What are they doing up so early?
- 51:55Speaker 2: Well, they want to go to Disneyland.
- 51:56Speaker 3: I guess.
- 51:56Speaker 2: And you know, the poor mom and dad, they were
- 51:58Speaker 2: sleeping in the hotel. All of a sudden, you know,
- 52:00Speaker 2: it's six o'clock in the morning. Mommy, mommy, I want
- 52:02Speaker 2: to go see Mickey Mouse.
- 52:03Speaker 3: It's the one vacation the kids wake you up for.
- 52:06Speaker 2: Oh, my word.
- 52:07Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 52:07Speaker 2: So anyway, I didn't get breakfast. And so anyway, later
- 52:10Speaker 2: I was, you know, and it was packed. So I thought,
- 52:14Speaker 2: I'll just order room service. So I ordered a hamburger
- 52:17Speaker 2: and a hamburger, and it came with French fries and
- 52:22Speaker 2: a Baptist martini.
- 52:23Speaker 13: Yep.
- 52:24Speaker 2: And for you Lutherans out there in Iowa, that's a
- 52:28Speaker 2: Diet Coke with a wedge of lemon. So the guy
- 52:33Speaker 2: shows up, room service comes in. Do you know how
- 52:35Speaker 2: much I had to pay for that hamburger? And it's
- 52:37Speaker 2: just like a small hamburger. It's not a massive hamburger.
- 52:40Speaker 2: It's like a small hamburger.
- 52:41Speaker 3: I was going to ask how much it was.
- 52:43Speaker 16: $ 58.
- 52:44Speaker 2: $ 58.
- 52:45Speaker 3: What did they put in that thing? Gold? Gold for cheese?
- 52:50Speaker 2: No, there was no cheese. No, that was a plain hamburger.
- 52:54Speaker 3: That's terrible, Todd.
- 52:56Speaker 2: Oh, and then they had the Heinz mayonnaise. You may
- 52:59Speaker 2: as well put just Elmer's glue on your sandwich and
- 53:02Speaker 2: you'd have more flavor.
- 53:04Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very particular about your mayonnaise.
- 53:07Speaker 2: I'm like, are you kidding me? 58 bucks for a hamburger?
- 53:11Speaker 2: There was no Duke's mayonnaise. There was no blue plate mayonnaise.
- 53:13Speaker 2: There was no Hellman's.
- 53:15Speaker 3: You may as well have gone to Disney World, spending
- 53:17Speaker 3: that much money.
- 53:18Speaker 2: Unbelievable. And then you've got to leave a tip. So
- 53:22Speaker 2: it was like 60-something bucks.
- 53:27Speaker 3: I mean. Yeah, the price you pay. Highfalutin room service
- 53:30Speaker 3: there with your.
- 53:32Speaker 2: Unbelievable. So I was in a bad mood. Those kinds
- 53:35Speaker 2: of things just put me in a bad mood.
- 53:38Speaker 3: I don't blame you. That's the most expensive thing I've
- 53:40Speaker 3: ever heard.
- 53:41Speaker 2: $ 58. Should have gone to like In-N-Out or something.
- 53:46Speaker 3: Seriously.
- 53:47Speaker 2: So the next morning, so then I did go to breakfast,
- 53:53Speaker 2: and the breakfast was like $ 48 for the buffet. And
- 53:57Speaker 2: it was like cold scrambled eggs.
- 54:01Speaker 3: That's the worst.
- 54:02Speaker 2: And watery bacon.
- 54:03Speaker 3: Wow.
- 54:05Speaker 2: And there were no biscuits. You had to do your
- 54:07Speaker 2: own toast. And for $ 48, I'm getting toast by God.
- 54:12Speaker 2: They didn't even have biscuits.
- 54:13Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 54:15Speaker 2: So it turns out it's adjacent to an outdoor mall.
- 54:18Speaker 2: And at this outdoor mall, they actually had restaurants, and
- 54:23Speaker 2: I had no idea. So there was this Cajun-themed restaurant,
- 54:28Speaker 2: and they were serving breakfast. So I thought, well, this
- 54:30Speaker 2: was the following day. So I thought, all right, it
- 54:33Speaker 2: can't be any worse. So I go in there, have
- 54:35Speaker 2: a great breakfast meal for under $ 20. Well, there you go.
- 54:40Speaker 3: That you just needed to go across the street.
- 54:42Speaker 2: And they serve the iced tea in a mason jar.
- 54:47Speaker 2: I'm like, all right. I'm giving you– that is street cred.
- 54:51Speaker 3: You would pay $ 50 for that. That's something you would.
- 54:54Speaker 2: I actually would have paid $ 50 for that.
- 54:56Speaker 17: Yeah.
- 54:57Speaker 3: Well, now you know. Next time you go back.
- 55:00Speaker 2: Next time I go back, I'm staying somewhere else. I'm
- 55:05Speaker 2: just saying.
- 55:06Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 55:07Speaker 2: Let's go to Cordova, Tennessee. O.G. Bill, listening to us
- 55:10Speaker 2: on KWAM. Hi, O.G.
- 55:12Speaker 4: Bill.
- 55:12Speaker 2: What's going on?
- 55:14Speaker 8: Hey, Todd. Thanks for having me. It's been a while,
- 55:17Speaker 8: and you know everything's going on. I was calling because
- 55:22Speaker 8: I was listening to Congressman Miller on that last segment,
- 55:26Speaker 8: and it reminded me that, I don't know if many
- 55:30Speaker 8: people know this, but there's a picture of Ilhan Omar.
- 55:32Speaker 8: You can probably Google it and find it. standing in a,
- 55:35Speaker 8: kind of like on a mountain in Somalia, I'm assuming,
- 55:38Speaker 8: and she's got a, she's in a military uniform, 14
- 55:41Speaker 8: years old, wearing, you know, again, military uniform, and carrying
- 55:46Speaker 8: a gun, a rifle, like AK-47 or something. And I'm
- 55:50Speaker 8: just thinking, this kind of reminds me of, what's his name, Al-Sayed,
- 55:55Speaker 8: and his alleged ties to Babylon, Baptist, Baptist, Muslim Brotherhood,
- 56:05Speaker 8: And I just can't get past all that. I don't
- 56:07Speaker 8: think these people, I hate to say this this way, they.
- 56:10Speaker 5: Don't belong in Congress.
- 56:12Speaker 2: No, they don't, Bill. And I think they're enemy combatants,
- 56:15Speaker 2: to be perfectly honest with you. And especially in the
- 56:18Speaker 2: sense of using our money, stealing our money, and using
- 56:21Speaker 2: that for nefarious purposes. I still want to understand how
- 56:25Speaker 2: she came to be worth $ 30 million, a refugee from Somalia.
- 56:30Speaker 2: That's the big question I've got. All right, O.G. Bill,
- 56:33Speaker 2: good to hear from you, sir. 901-260-5926, our telephone number.
- 56:35Speaker 2: This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, welcome back, everybody.
- 57:02Speaker 2: This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Happy to have
- 57:05Speaker 2: you with us today. Also very excited about tomorrow in Houston.
- 57:09Speaker 2: We're going to be doing a big book signing event,
- 57:12Speaker 2: and we'd love to have all of our friends in
- 57:14Speaker 2: the Houston area joining us at Collectors Firearms. And all
- 57:19Speaker 2: the information is on PatriotTalk920. com. That's the website of the
- 57:24Speaker 2: radio station. There's going to be free food and beverages.
- 57:28Speaker 2: A number of Republican candidates are going to be there.
- 57:31Speaker 2: We also understand the gun owners of America are going
- 57:34Speaker 2: to be there. It's going to be a lot of fun.
- 57:36Speaker 2: And also a chance for you to win a brand
- 57:39Speaker 2: new firearm. So you're going to want to show up,
- 57:42Speaker 2: even if you don't want to book. Everybody wants a gun, right?
- 57:45Speaker 2: So be sure to check that out. Again, that's tomorrow,
- 57:49Speaker 2: 4 to 7 at Collectors Firearms there in Houston, Texas.
- 57:55Speaker 2: And then next week on the 27th, which is the
- 57:59Speaker 2: day before the big day, Dylan.
- 58:02Speaker 3: The big day being your birthday.
- 58:04Speaker 2: Yeah, that is correct.
- 58:05Speaker 3: It's a good day.
- 58:07Speaker 2: It's a great day because I'm alive. I mean, you know, that's.
- 58:11Speaker 3: Amen to that.
- 58:12Speaker 2: It was a little dicey earlier this year. So it's
- 58:15Speaker 2: good to be alive and kicking. But on the 27th,
- 58:19Speaker 2: we're going to be at WDUN Longstreet Cafe. We're doing
- 58:24Speaker 2: a huge book signing there. I'll be saying a few words.
- 58:26Speaker 2: We're going to have a lot of fun. We always
- 58:28Speaker 2: have a lot of fun in Gainesville. The food is
- 58:30Speaker 2: going to be great. The fellowship is spectacular. We're also
- 58:33Speaker 2: broadcasting our show from their studios online. They're on the square.
- 58:39Speaker 2: It's the downtown studios of WDUN. So we would love
- 58:43Speaker 2: for you to drop by and say hello during our
- 58:44Speaker 2: national show. You know, the last time we did that, Dylan,
- 58:47Speaker 2: we actually had like a studio audience.
- 58:50Speaker 3: Oh, I remember. You brought people on from the audience
- 58:53Speaker 3: to your show. It was great.
- 58:54Speaker 2: We had a guy. So there was a guy who
- 58:57Speaker 2: gave me– I love collecting kind of cool stuff. That's
- 58:59Speaker 2: a little off the beaten path. And one of the
- 59:03Speaker 2: guys brought a blue plate special from Shoney's and gave
- 59:07Speaker 2: me the blue plate. And I was just... I was honored.
- 59:11Speaker 2: And then the lady came with the quilt. She quilted
- 59:15Speaker 2: me like a whole quilt. And it's a good thing
- 59:18Speaker 2: I drove instead of, otherwise I was going to have
- 59:21Speaker 2: to like pay out the wazoo for the luggage.
- 59:24Speaker 3: True, you needed a whole other bag for that quilt.
- 59:25Speaker 2: The Cadillac was filled with gifts. I felt like I
- 59:27Speaker 2: had gone to Christmas. Very generous folks.
- 59:31Speaker 3: That's awesome.
- 59:32Speaker 2: So the guy, so you're going to love this. The guy, Dylan,
- 59:36Speaker 2: who gave me the Shoney's plate told me, he'd sent
- 59:39Speaker 2: me a note and said he's not going to be
- 59:40Speaker 2: able to be there, but that he was disappointed because
- 59:43Speaker 2: he's got the full Shoney's big boy. That's like, I
- 59:46Speaker 2: don't know, four feet tall. And I thought, is he
- 59:49Speaker 2: going to give me the Shoney's big boy? No, he's not.
- 59:52Speaker 2: That's way too generous, but he just wanted me to
- 59:55Speaker 2: see it. So I thought that was pretty nice. So anyway,
- 59:58Speaker 2: all that to say, next week, Gainesville, Georgia, really excited
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: to be broadcasting the show from that beautiful part of
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: the country, and we just love our friends at WDUN.
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: 901-260-5926 is our telephone number.
- 1:00:08Speaker 18: That's 901-260-5926.
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: I want to play some audio here. The WNBA facing
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: some pretty severe backlash. They've got the finals going on,
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: and I am not a big WNBA fan. A little
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: bit too much testosterone on the court for my taste. Anyway,
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: they've got the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries,
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: and they're in the finals. Was it game two of
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: the finals? Both teams decided to leave the court before
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: the singing of the national anthem. And many fans are
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: wondering why. What's going on there? I mean, that's just insane.
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: Cut number five.
- 1:00:58Speaker 16: These women are choosing to walk out, guys, walk back
- 1:01:02Speaker 16: into the locker rooms during the national anthem. This has
- 1:01:04Speaker 16: gotten out of hand. You have some players doing this
- 1:01:06Speaker 16: that literally were on Team USA. And I just want
- 1:01:10Speaker 16: to call out the hypocrisy here. I want to call
- 1:01:12Speaker 16: out how these women in the WNBA cry, cry, cry
- 1:01:15Speaker 16: so much. They play victim. They get everything they want.
- 1:01:18Speaker 16: They get what they desire. They attack fans. It's always
- 1:01:22Speaker 16: a victimized mindset when they've been given more than they've
- 1:01:26Speaker 16: ever gotten, guys. And they all have the audacity to
- 1:01:29Speaker 16: walk out during the national anthem. I have a huge
- 1:01:33Speaker 16: problem with this because we've seen across sports, other sports, NFL,
- 1:01:37Speaker 16: you don't really kneel down. or skip out on the
- 1:01:41Speaker 16: national anthem. And it's like these women don't get questioned
- 1:01:43Speaker 16: on it. They literally don't get, you know, like, it's
- 1:01:47Speaker 16: swept right under the rug, and it's the most disrespectful
- 1:01:50Speaker 16: thing to have fans in attendance. Regardless of the respect,
- 1:01:53Speaker 16: regardless of how you feel, you should be in attendance, standing.
- 1:01:57Speaker 16: I'm not even saying you have to place your hand
- 1:01:58Speaker 16: over your heart, but you all need to be standing
- 1:02:00Speaker 16: in attendance. Literally, completely unacceptable.
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: Yeah, it is unacceptable. But before the singer could say... Oh,
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: say can you see? Yeah, they were gone. They were
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: out of there. So apparently these gals get triggered by
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: Sophie Cunningham, fans in general, and apparently Francis Scott Key.
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: We did check, though, and this is where it gets interesting.
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: There is a rule in the official WNBA handbook, and
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: it requires players, coaches, and trainers to form a line
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: while the Star-Spangled Banner is performed. So it seems that
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: the WNBA is completely in violation of their own rules. Anyway, look,
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: I don't think that league is going to last too
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: terribly much longer.
- 1:02:51Speaker 16: I really don't.
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones here. 901-260-5926. Say hello to
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: Chuck in Georgia.
- 1:02:58Speaker 17: Hi, Chuck.
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: What's going on?
- 1:03:00Speaker 19: I just wanted to remind people of some quotes Hillary
- 1:03:05Speaker 19: made yesterday an email she made to Donna Merzelli, the
- 1:03:10Speaker 19: DNC chair, in 2016. If that blankety-blank wins, we're all
- 1:03:16Speaker 19: going to hang from nooses. You better fix this blankety-blank.
- 1:03:21Speaker 19: And on her own, in 2005, earlier, she said, most
- 1:03:27Speaker 19: Democrat voters are just plain stupid and easy to manipulate.
- 1:03:32Speaker 19: That's the easy part. And a guy named Norman Mahone
- 1:03:38Speaker 19: Thomas was a socialist. The Democrats have adopted our platform.
- 1:03:45Speaker 19: I don't need to run for president anymore. And Lenin,
- 1:03:48Speaker 19: of course, said socialism is just the means to communism.
- 1:03:54Speaker 19: And people just don't realize. I mean, history is very important.
- 1:04:01Speaker 19: And down here in Cleveland, Georgia, where I live, They
- 1:04:05Speaker 19: sent Antifa people down here and gave forewarning. When they
- 1:04:09Speaker 19: got down here, the good old boys were riding around
- 1:04:13Speaker 19: with American flags on the back of the trucks, shotguns
- 1:04:17Speaker 19: and rifles. They must have sent their most polite people
- 1:04:21Speaker 19: down here because there wasn't a cop to be seen
- 1:04:24Speaker 19: down here when they came here to speak their mind.
- 1:04:28Speaker 19: God bless Cleveland, Georgia.
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: Well, God bless Cleveland, Georgia. Good people there. That's WRWH territory,
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: great radio station and our great affiliate there in Cleveland. Chuck,
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: thank you for calling. And it's a great point Chuck
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: brings up. The kids these days, they don't know what
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: socialism really is. I mean, they know what they've been
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: told by their teachers, but in reality, they don't know.
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: And they're not being taught that it has never worked.
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: They haven't been taught about the atrocities committed under communism.
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: They're not being taught that, and there's a reason. There's
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: a reason why that is. 901-260-5926, our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: You know, we're watching these fires and the riots and
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: the chaos in France over the weekend, and it is
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: a terrible thing. I mean, it's just awful when you
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: see some of the historic buildings that have been set
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: on fire. CBS News categorized what we were seeing as
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: a scuffle. It was just a scuffle. Then you had
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: other news organizations say that these were students and they
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: were protesting because of the lack of supplies in their schools. Oui, oui,
- 1:05:47Speaker 2: monsieur Starnes. Oh, somebody called me Starnes, by the way,
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: in California.
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: Is that French?
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: Oui, oui. Oui, oui. A croissant.
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: Croissant.
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: A croissant. $ 38. A croissant.
- 1:06:06Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. You're going Russian now.
- 1:06:08Speaker 5: I know.
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: Sorry, I'm working on my accent. They're a little off.
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: A little off. But anyway, what were we talking about? Oh, France.
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: So anyway, they're saying that the reason why the kids
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: are protesting is they don't have enough school supplies. So
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: apparently they've run out of loose leaf. And as a
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: result of that, that's even worse. They ran out of
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: loose-leaf paper, I guess, or maybe ink pens, number two pencils.
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: And so as a result of that, the kids are
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: like rampaging around, and they're burning things down. Do you
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: believe that? No, of course it's not true. Just like
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: you can't say the national media will not tell you
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: that it's really the Islamists who are burning down France.
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: They won't ever tell you that, but that's what's happening here.
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: So look, this is a terrible thing. And I know
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: President Trump has been out there saying, France, you got
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: to get a handle on this. And yes, France does
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: have to get a handle on this, but we got
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: no part of this fight. And hear me on this.
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: Hear me. I know we have a long and storied
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: relationship with the French, but they made their Islamic bed,
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: and now they got to lie in it. And it
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: is going to be an ugly thing. I don't think
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: France can be saved. I think France is done. I
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: really do. When you see these people, And they're out there,
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: and they're burning things down. They're fighting with the police.
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: They're not scared of anybody. Do you realize there was
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: one incident where there was an elderly French couple, and
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: they're walking down whatever street. They're attacked by the mob
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: who ordered the elderly couple to disrobe. And then there
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: they were standing in their underpants because the Muslim kids,
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: the mob, had ordered them to disrobe. It's humiliating. Humiliating.
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: But there's no reason for us to step in. Now,
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: but let me say this. As bad as things are
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: with Iran and whatever nuclear program they're thinking about developing,
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: it's even worse with France. Because hear me on this.
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: The French currently control the fourth largest nuclear arsenal.
- 1:08:15Speaker 4: In the world.
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: And once France falls and the Islamists take over, the
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: Islamists will then have access to the fourth largest nuclear
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: arsenal on the planet. Do you understand how serious this
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: situation is over there? I mean, it's a bad, bad situation. 901-260-5926,
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. Dylan, I've got to tell
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: you this story, and this is a weird one. So
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: high school football team, and this is making national news.
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: This is from Mesa, Arizona. So anyway, they're in the
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: middle of the game, and if you played football or
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: any kind of a sport, I know you're a baseball guy.
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: You played baseball. But there was a quarterback, a high
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: school quarterback. And the coach gave them the plays. The quarterback,
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: the high school football quarterback, the teenager, decided to disobey
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: the head coach and call an audible and do his
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: own play. So after it was all over, the game
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: was over, the coach called him into the side and
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: gave him the what for and then kicked him off
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: the team. So in response to that, many of the
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: other team members have now quit the team as well,
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: quit the squad as well. And we'll see how all
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: this plays out. But the reality is, who does this
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: kid think he is?
- 1:09:42Speaker 4: Really?
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: The kid thinks he's the head coach now. Is that
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: what's going on?
- 1:09:48Speaker 3: My one question would be, did the play work? I'm
- 1:09:50Speaker 3: assuming that it didn't work. If he called an audible
- 1:09:53Speaker 3: and they completely didn't get anywhere yard-wise, I would be
- 1:09:59Speaker 3: furious as the head coach.
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: So the teenager said that the coach told him, you
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: disrespected me, meaning the position, and he was immediately cut
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: from the team. And the other players disagreed with the coaches,
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: and those players were suspended for the rest of the season.
- 1:10:17Speaker 17: Yeah.
- 1:10:17Speaker 3: As far as I know, the only players, quarterbacks that
- 1:10:20Speaker 3: get to call audibles are like those veteran quarterbacks that
- 1:10:23Speaker 3: know what they're doing. Those guys are going to be good.
- 1:10:26Speaker 3: You can trust those guys. In high school, you're listening
- 1:10:29Speaker 3: to the coach.
- 1:10:30Speaker 20: Of course.
- 1:10:31Speaker 3: You're not calling an audible in high school.
- 1:10:33Speaker 4: Exactly.
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: That's not your role. These kids these days, I'm telling you,
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: they do not listen to anybody. They think they were.
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: And you know that comes from mom and dad.
- 1:10:44Speaker 3: Sure, yeah.
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: That's where that comes from.
- 1:10:45Speaker 3: And that's not going to fly in college. If he's
- 1:10:47Speaker 3: good enough to get to college in that level, that's
- 1:10:49Speaker 3: not going to fly. He's trying to call an audible,
- 1:10:52Speaker 3: especially if he's a freshman. Like, don't even try that.
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: You're not, too. Don't try it. He's lucky that's all
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: that happened to him.
- 1:10:59Speaker 3: Yeah. I'm with the coach on this one, I think.
- 1:11:02Speaker 17: Wow.
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: Anyway, yeah, what a crazy story. When you see the
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: interview and you can tell exactly the attitude of this kid.
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: I mean, that's, yeah, it's pretty obvious. Anyway, I'll tell you,
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: our great uncle Chico, who was the winningest high school
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: football coach in South Carolina history, Dylan, he was an
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: old school coach. And let me tell you something, I'm
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: not sure that kid would have been alive. I'm just
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: going to say.
- 1:11:31Speaker 3: The military program down there.
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 1:11:34Speaker 3: That's how you should run it.
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: That's like the Marines. By the way, President Trump is right, everybody.
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: Millions of people are turning into Newsmax. Or they're tuning into.

- 1:12:35Speaker 3: Welcome back, everybody.
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: Dylan, here's another sports story for you. By the way,
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: what a disaster. The Memphis Tigers just blown away by
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: the Tulane Green Wave.
- 1:12:47Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want to talk about it.
- 1:12:48Speaker 4: That was brutal.
- 1:12:48Speaker 3: We never win when we go to Tulane.
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: But the Tennessee Vols did great. I mean, we kicked
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: some butt.
- 1:12:54Speaker 3: Yeah, congrats to you.
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: We kicked some Bama butt.
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: A lot of the football titans of the SEC, the
- 1:13:01Speaker 3: Big Ten, a lot of them fell this weekend.
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: Sure did. Great games. Great games. Marist Catholic High School.
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: They have fired their head coach, who was, quite frankly,
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: very successful. This all happening in Oregon. It seems that
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: the coach ran afoul of the Catholics after a big victory,
- 1:13:25Speaker 2: 63 to nothing.
- 1:13:27Speaker 17: Wow.
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: They had a big win over Cottage Grove High School.
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: The game was actually called at halftime.
- 1:13:34Speaker 3: Oh my God.
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: 63 to nothing.
- 1:13:36Speaker 3: That's bad. That's how you know it's bad.
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: So the coach got fired because he called for an
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: onside kick. You never know. I mean, you don't know.
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: You come into, you know, you got a halftime and
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: you come out and the other team's fired up and
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: score 70 on you.
- 1:13:50Speaker 3: My gosh. I wonder what the beef was. There had
- 1:13:53Speaker 3: to be something more going on.
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: They said that it violated the school's mission and values.
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: And I'm thinking, what?
- 1:14:00Speaker 5: What?
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: To lose? I mean, again, if you're playing a game,
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: you go out there and you give it your all.
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: And if the other team is terrible, then the other
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: team is terrible.
- 1:14:12Speaker 3: Yeah. I think maybe it's the mercy that they're trying
- 1:14:16Speaker 3: to show. The Catholic mercy. Kicking an onside kick when
- 1:14:20Speaker 3: you're up like 60 points, that is crazy.
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: Don't get fired over it.
- 1:14:25Speaker 3: The firing thing is crazy.
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: They won the state championship in 2024. This year, they're
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: having a rough go. They're 3-3.
- 1:14:34Speaker 3: He was probably mad. He was probably mad at the
- 1:14:36Speaker 3: other team. Something had to happen where he's kicking an
- 1:14:38Speaker 3: onside kick.
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: Well, or he was trying to give the guys, you know,
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: playing opportunities and playing skills and, you know, guys, let's
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: try an onside kick here.
- 1:14:46Speaker 3: Gotta practice the onside kick. It doesn't happen that much.
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: So I'm curious, ladies and gentlemen, do you think the
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: school did the right thing here by firing the coach?
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: I think the coach was doing his job, which was
- 1:14:56Speaker 2: winning the game at all costs.
- 1:14:59Speaker 3: By a lot.
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: By a lot. 63 to nothing at halftime. All right,
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: we've got to take a quick break here.
- 1:15:07Speaker 10: 901-260-5926.
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: This is the Todd Stern Show.
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: From Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun-toting, Bible-clinging, deplorable American.
- 1:15:37Speaker 10: That's us, that's right, our love is American.
- 1:15:45Speaker 14: Todd Starnes.
- 1:15:47Speaker 2: Well, all right.
- 1:15:48Speaker 4: Hello, everybody.
- 1:15:49Speaker 2: Great to have you with us today. This is the
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: Todd Starnes Radio Show. Big, big, big crowd in Park City, Kansas,
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: where President Trump is going to be holding a big
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: rally later on this evening. And a lot of our listeners,
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: I understand, are in the crowd, which got there, I think,
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: last night. So people have been waiting overnight to make
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: sure they got a good spot. And we are really
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: excited about what the president is going to say there
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: in Kansas. Last week, President Trump was in Dalton, Georgia.
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: That is very close to Chattanooga. And our next guest
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: was there covering the big event. Robin Walensky, a great journalist,
- 1:16:32Speaker 2: joins us on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Robin, what
- 1:16:35Speaker 2: was that experience like for you?
- 1:16:37Speaker 9: It was actually very emotional, Todd. Great to be back
- 1:16:41Speaker 9: with you. I'm going to start at the end. When
- 1:16:45Speaker 9: I left the event, I was so overwhelmed with emotion.
- 1:16:49Speaker 9: Looking at the president, this would be the third rally
- 1:16:52Speaker 9: I've been to in the last, I guess, however many
- 1:16:55Speaker 9: years that he's been doing these. And I looked at
- 1:16:58Speaker 9: him on stage, and here's this 80-year-old man, a millionaire,
- 1:17:03Speaker 9: a billionaire, whatever he is. He doesn't need to be
- 1:17:06Speaker 9: doing this. And he is a one-man show. He's a
- 1:17:09Speaker 9: one-man act. And he comes in, and he gets off
- 1:17:14Speaker 9: the helicopter, and he stands before the crowd with all
- 1:17:18Speaker 9: the risk that's involved in that, even though, obviously, there's
- 1:17:21Speaker 9: Secret Service, and the security is better than it's ever been,
- 1:17:24Speaker 9: from my observations. And he almost takes that bow like
- 1:17:29Speaker 9: he's on a Broadway stage. And it is all about him.
- 1:17:33Speaker 9: And he is a one-man red, white, and blue warrior.
- 1:17:38Speaker 9: And there is no one else out there that can
- 1:17:41Speaker 9: rally people, especially independent voters who may be on the fence.
- 1:17:46Speaker 9: And I think it all goes back to one thing
- 1:17:50Speaker 9: after interviewing so many people that I spoke to when
- 1:17:53Speaker 9: I was there for six, seven hours myself. is that
- 1:17:57Speaker 9: people that go to these events love America, and they
- 1:18:02Speaker 9: love the Patriot-in-Chief. He's not just the Commander-in-Chief. In my mind,
- 1:18:08Speaker 9: he's the Patriot-in-Chief. And he stands up there in the red, white,
- 1:18:12Speaker 9: and blue, and he may go on and on a
- 1:18:14Speaker 9: little long in the speech, but when it's all over,
- 1:18:17Speaker 9: he almost takes a bow at the end, and he
- 1:18:20Speaker 9: does a little dance in the golf swing. But he
- 1:18:23Speaker 9: stopped every couple of feet as he leaves the stage,
- 1:18:26Speaker 9: as he leaves the red carpet, almost like a Broadway
- 1:18:30Speaker 9: actor would take that bow at the end, you know?
- 1:18:32Speaker 9: And it was very emotional for me because he will
- 1:18:36Speaker 9: not be around forever. None of us will be around forever, Todd.
- 1:18:41Speaker 9: We only have today. And I was just overwhelmed with
- 1:18:45Speaker 9: the American flags and what this country truly stands for
- 1:18:49Speaker 9: and 210, years and 25 years since 9-11. And I
- 1:18:53Speaker 9: just walked away thinking we just cannot have another open border.
- 1:18:57Speaker 9: And the people in this region of the country in Dalton, Georgia,
- 1:19:02Speaker 9: they think of Lakin Riley, the nursing student at UGA
- 1:19:05Speaker 9: in Athens who was sexually assaulted and murdered by a Biden, Obama, Harris, Mayorkas,
- 1:19:13Speaker 9: illegal alien. Do we want more of that or we
- 1:19:16Speaker 9: don't want more of that? That's really what this election
- 1:19:18Speaker 9: is about.
- 1:19:19Speaker 2: You know, I'm curious about the folks who showed up,
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: and it's always about the folks. If you listen to
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: the media, everybody is demoralized. MAGA is over. No more
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: big rallies. No more big crowds. Clearly, we've got the crowds. Clearly,
- 1:19:36Speaker 2: they're still coming out. I'm just wondering what the mood
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: of the people, the folks are.
- 1:19:40Speaker 9: They couldn't have been happier. It was Santa Claus coming
- 1:19:45Speaker 9: down the chimney on Christmas Eve. I'm telling you, or
- 1:19:48Speaker 9: Christmas morning. And they were opening their gifts. And their
- 1:19:51Speaker 9: gift was to listen and watch and see the President
- 1:19:54Speaker 9: of the United States And a lot of these people
- 1:19:57Speaker 9: had seen him before. There were people there from Tennessee.
- 1:20:00Speaker 9: There were people that drove from Florida. I spoke to
- 1:20:03Speaker 9: a guy who flew in from Chicago to see him.
- 1:20:07Speaker 9: It was very ethnically diverse. It was age diverse. There
- 1:20:11Speaker 9: were people there in wheelchairs and walkers and canes. There
- 1:20:15Speaker 9: were little kids there, parents that had taken their children
- 1:20:18Speaker 9: out of school. One mother told me, my daughter is
- 1:20:21Speaker 9: going to learn. Her kid was probably around 10 years old.
- 1:20:24Speaker 9: She said, my daughter... is going to learn more today
- 1:20:27Speaker 9: than she will in the classroom, and so I pulled
- 1:20:29Speaker 9: her out of school for today. And I couldn't agree more.
- 1:20:32Speaker 9: You know, watching the political process.
- 1:20:34Speaker 11: As you and I know, is amazing.
- 1:20:36Speaker 19: And let me.
- 1:20:36Speaker 9: Address the mainstream media. There were people there that I
- 1:20:40Speaker 9: know from both local news and network news that you
- 1:20:43Speaker 9: know as well, and I'm not going to name the names,
- 1:20:45Speaker 9: but there's such a level of apathy from the photographers,
- 1:20:50Speaker 9: the print, the TV journalists, some of the radio people,
- 1:20:54Speaker 9: A lot of the on-air personalities that you see on
- 1:20:58Speaker 9: the various channels, they're so apathetic towards this man. And
- 1:21:03Speaker 9: that's where you're getting all the negativity. Oh, God forbid
- 1:21:06Speaker 9: they should have to wait an extra half an hour
- 1:21:08Speaker 9: because there was traffic or whatever getting the president. you know,
- 1:21:12Speaker 9: whatever the story was at Dobbins Air Force Base to
- 1:21:15Speaker 9: get them there. Maybe they were doing an extra security sweep.
- 1:21:18Speaker 9: You know, you're inconveniencing them. They have forgotten, the mainstream
- 1:21:22Speaker 9: media has forgotten its role, Todd. We are storytellers. We
- 1:21:27Speaker 9: are observers of history. And all they are is negative
- 1:21:31Speaker 9: Nellies who are all liberals, who all have severe cases
- 1:21:35Speaker 9: of TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome. That's really the bottom line.
- 1:21:39Speaker 2: And it's sad. It's stage four. It's incurable. And I
- 1:21:42Speaker 2: hate it for those people, but it is what it is. Look,
- 1:21:45Speaker 2: we've been very happy and cheerful on this program because
- 1:21:49Speaker 2: I just believe all of the polling data is wrong.
- 1:21:52Speaker 2: I don't believe Republicans are talking to the pollsters. The media,
- 1:21:56Speaker 2: they've got an agenda, and that agenda is to demoralize
- 1:22:00Speaker 2: people so they don't get out and vote. And so
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: we've got to do our part here on this program
- 1:22:05Speaker 2: to change minds and encourage everybody to get out and vote. Robin,
- 1:22:10Speaker 2: you have been all about terrorism. You believe that national
- 1:22:14Speaker 2: security is the number one issue. We saw what happened
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: over the weekend in France. And this is the only
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: thing standing between us and that is Donald J.
- 1:22:26Speaker 16: Trump.
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: I mean, that's ultimately the reality here. So we've got
- 1:22:29Speaker 2: to make sure that he has Republicans in control of Congress.
- 1:22:34Speaker 9: Yeah, no question about it. And let me say this.
- 1:22:37Speaker 9: I don't consider myself a Republican. I consider myself a conservative.
- 1:22:42Speaker 9: And I'm going to tell you that we still have
- 1:22:43Speaker 9: a lot of rhinos, Republican and name-only candidates, people that
- 1:22:48Speaker 9: I'm not crazy about voting for, but I'm voting for
- 1:22:51Speaker 9: it because I'm never going to vote for a Democrat
- 1:22:54Speaker 9: or a progressive or a liberal. But I'm telling you
- 1:22:57Speaker 9: that some of these candidates get up there, not just
- 1:22:59Speaker 9: in Georgia, but in other places, obviously the president in
- 1:23:02Speaker 9: Kansas and doing a whole, you know, he'll be in
- 1:23:04Speaker 9: Michigan again, Texas again. But my point is this. A
- 1:23:07Speaker 9: lot of these Republican candidates are problematic as well. And
- 1:23:13Speaker 9: I don't think we put up our best people. And
- 1:23:16Speaker 9: some of them are very weak. And they get up
- 1:23:19Speaker 9: there and they speak at these rallies. And it's not
- 1:23:22Speaker 9: a great performance. They're keeping them short. It's like, you
- 1:23:25Speaker 9: know how you, you know, you compare an ex-girlfriend or
- 1:23:28Speaker 9: an ex-husband or, you know, you compare one president to
- 1:23:31Speaker 9: the next. We as people, human nature, Todd, we compare,
- 1:23:35Speaker 9: you know, look at the, look at the White House
- 1:23:37Speaker 9: press secretary. We compared the new girl to the last
- 1:23:41Speaker 9: one and it was a disaster, right? So you have
- 1:23:44Speaker 9: these congressional candidates, these people running for governor, they get
- 1:23:48Speaker 9: up there and they speak and they're weak. because then
- 1:23:52Speaker 9: the commander-in-chief comes in, Trump, and he cleans up the mess,
- 1:23:56Speaker 9: and you almost forget about how weak these rhinos are,
- 1:24:00Speaker 9: and you're like, okay, we have to vote for Trump's agenda,
- 1:24:04Speaker 9: not so much for this candidate, but this person is
- 1:24:07Speaker 9: going to be a vehicle to get the president's agenda accomplished.
- 1:24:12Speaker 9: That's really how I think a lot of people are
- 1:24:14Speaker 9: viewing it, especially a lot of independent voters who can
- 1:24:18Speaker 9: go either way, It's the old story. Are you better
- 1:24:21Speaker 9: off now with this guy in than where we were
- 1:24:26Speaker 9: with the Biden crew?
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: Robin, I want to go to the phones. We've got
- 1:24:30Speaker 2: a gentleman calling in, listening to us on WDUN there
- 1:24:34Speaker 2: in Georgia. He goes by the name Little Big Mouth.
- 1:24:39Speaker 2: Little Big Mouth, you're on the air with me and Robin.
- 1:24:42Speaker 2: What say you?
- 1:24:45Speaker 20: Well, you know, you've pretty much been nailing it today.
- 1:24:48Speaker 20: And Robin, you just made a big contribution as well. And,
- 1:24:53Speaker 20: you know, Todd, I drive through Cleveland, Georgia, and I
- 1:24:57Speaker 20: happen to do so on Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
- 1:25:01Speaker 20: So we got Veterans Day coming up. OK, and I'm
- 1:25:05Speaker 20: going to link this to the election. So if you're
- 1:25:08Speaker 20: still reluctant to vote or you're not sure or you
- 1:25:13Speaker 20: want to vote, for some independent or whatever that isn't
- 1:25:17Speaker 20: going to win, you might as well drive by those
- 1:25:22Speaker 20: cemetery markers, the monuments in the little towns, the war
- 1:25:27Speaker 20: memorial monuments, or a military graveyard, and get out of
- 1:25:31Speaker 20: your car and take a whiz on them. Because that's
- 1:25:34Speaker 20: how much respect you have for those people who gave us,
- 1:25:39Speaker 20: who protected our God-given rights by sacrificing either their wounded
- 1:25:44Speaker 20: lives or died in battle for this country. And like
- 1:25:49Speaker 20: you just said, or Robin just said, what's happening in
- 1:25:53Speaker 20: France is going to be previews of coming attractions this way.
- 1:25:58Speaker 20: So from what's going on in France, it's going to
- 1:26:02Speaker 20: happen here. So what we need to do is stop
- 1:26:05Speaker 20: making excuses and make history. Make history. in this election
- 1:26:12Speaker 20: by winning the midterms, contrary to all previous indicators.
- 1:26:17Speaker 5: God bless America.
- 1:26:19Speaker 2: God bless you, Little Big Mouth. Robin, what do you
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: think about that?
- 1:26:23Speaker 9: Well, first of all, I think Little Big Mouth beautifully
- 1:26:27Speaker 9: stated where we're at, and I do agree with him.
- 1:26:29Speaker 9: I drove through that area, and there's all sorts of
- 1:26:33Speaker 9: American flags in every intersection you come upon. It's a
- 1:26:36Speaker 9: very rural area. But every four-way intersection there out by
- 1:26:42Speaker 9: the farms and the cows have American flags. And all
- 1:26:46Speaker 9: the Republican candidate signs were, I saw hundreds of them.
- 1:26:50Speaker 9: So there's a real spirit in the country to keep
- 1:26:53Speaker 9: America old school, salute, put God back in the classroom.
- 1:26:59Speaker 9: I pledge allegiance to the flag. and to restore those values.
- 1:27:03Speaker 9: And Trump stands for that, too. You know, he's not
- 1:27:05Speaker 9: only about the future, but for me, he's also about
- 1:27:08Speaker 9: the past. And I think we have to put up
- 1:27:11Speaker 9: that major roadblock. I agree that the mainstream media is
- 1:27:15Speaker 9: cheering again for the left. They are misguided. They are misinformed.
- 1:27:21Speaker 9: They despise Israel. They despise America. They do not understand
- 1:27:26Speaker 9: the terrorism threat. And 9-11 is a distant memory for them.
- 1:27:30Speaker 9: And I'm telling you, Todd, you have to take every
- 1:27:33Speaker 9: person you know and call them and text them and
- 1:27:37Speaker 9: elderly and get them to the polls because we have
- 1:27:40Speaker 9: got to win this thing or our country is going
- 1:27:43Speaker 9: down like France is going down. It is absolutely horrendous
- 1:27:46Speaker 9: to watch what is going on in Paris.
- 1:27:49Speaker 2: Well said. Robin, can we take another call here? Are
- 1:27:52Speaker 2: you good with that?
- 1:27:54Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm good.
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: All right, let's go to North Carolina. Joe, listening to
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: us on WHKB. Joe, you're on the air with me
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: and Robin.
- 1:28:02Speaker 12: Well, hello there, LeBron stars. Pleasure to be on your
- 1:28:05Speaker 12: front porch today.
- 1:28:06Speaker 2: Robin, he calls me LeBron because I was going to
- 1:28:09Speaker 2: self-identify to get the reparations check in San Francisco. Joe,
- 1:28:18Speaker 2: you've got a great memory there.
- 1:28:19Speaker 12: I've been listening to you for a long time, Todd.
- 1:28:23Speaker 2: Well, thank you very much for that. Joe, what's on
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: your mind?
- 1:28:26Speaker 12: Well, I just thought I'd give you a little update.
- 1:28:29Speaker 12: I just drove by our polling station here a few
- 1:28:33Speaker 12: minutes ago. I've not been able to stop in yet
- 1:28:36Speaker 12: because I got my truck and trailer, but I want
- 1:28:39Speaker 12: to vote early. But anyways, the parking lot is full.
- 1:28:43Speaker 12: There's lines waiting to get in, and it looks like
- 1:28:46Speaker 12: turnout's pretty heavy here for early voting in Hendersonville.
- 1:28:50Speaker 2: That is, I'm glad to hear that. And Robin, that
- 1:28:52Speaker 2: had been one of the big questions. You know, will
- 1:28:55Speaker 2: there be big turnout? I know we're seeing it here
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: in Tennessee. It's like 60% increase over the last midterm election.
- 1:29:03Speaker 2: What say you?
- 1:29:05Speaker 9: Oh, in Georgia, it's wild. I went to vote at
- 1:29:08Speaker 9: the local library in Peachtree City the other day on
- 1:29:11Speaker 9: the first day of voting. There were at least outside
- 1:29:16Speaker 9: over 50 people in line. I like lost count. I
- 1:29:19Speaker 9: was like, oop, I don't have enough time for this,
- 1:29:21Speaker 9: but I'm going to go today after we're done. and
- 1:29:24Speaker 9: check out another polling place. We are breaking records here
- 1:29:27Speaker 9: in the state of Georgia. And what's interesting is that
- 1:29:29Speaker 9: the mainstream media will only show you certain areas of
- 1:29:34Speaker 9: the state. You know what I'm saying? They go to
- 1:29:40Speaker 9: the most liberal, extreme liberal areas to show the voting.
- 1:29:45Speaker 9: They don't go to any of the towns that lean center-right.
- 1:29:50Speaker 9: It's fascinating to see who's making these decisions. Once again, Todd,
- 1:29:54Speaker 9: it's always about the media, the imagery, and what they're
- 1:29:58Speaker 9: putting out there. But we have to outsmart these people.
- 1:30:02Speaker 2: Robin, I am so glad to have you on the
- 1:30:04Speaker 2: show today. We'll get you back on soon. We've got
- 1:30:07Speaker 2: to leave it there. Robin, thank you.
- 1:30:11Speaker 15: You're welcome.
- 1:30:13Speaker 2: Pardon me. I got a little choked up there. We'll
- 1:30:15Speaker 2: be right back.
- 1:30:19Speaker 10: All right, well, apparently Starbucks workers are going on strike.
- 1:30:33Speaker 2: According to this report, they're boycotting stores and they're chanting, free,
- 1:30:39Speaker 2: free Palestine. They're demanding higher wages. Starbucks says its workers
- 1:30:46Speaker 2: already average $ 30 an hour in pay, and they get benefits. Plus,
- 1:30:51Speaker 2: they get free college tuition for part-timers. Are you kidding me?
- 1:30:58Speaker 2: That's a pretty good paycheck right there. $ 30 an hour
- 1:31:02Speaker 2: to what, pour coffee that tastes burnt? I'm just telling you. Geez-a-loo,
- 1:31:08Speaker 2: these kids these days. All right, this story out of Texas.
- 1:31:14Speaker 2: We're researching this. We're trying to get some more intel.
- 1:31:18Speaker 2: There is a black conservative content creator, and she says
- 1:31:23Speaker 2: that she was kicked out of a Ken Paxton event
- 1:31:26Speaker 2: in San Antonio by Paxton's campaign manager. She said that
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: it may have been a case of mistaken identity, and
- 1:31:35Speaker 2: they thought that she was a Democrat protester when, in fact,
- 1:31:38Speaker 2: she was a MAGA supporter. We're going to follow up
- 1:31:43Speaker 2: on that, and we'll let you know what the real
- 1:31:47Speaker 2: deal there is. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.
- 1:31:54Speaker 2: Got to play this report involving the NAACP, and now
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: they're upset at people's Halloween decorations. Cut number four.
- 1:32:08Speaker 18: Mine went back to what my ancestors went through, being
- 1:32:13Speaker 18: hung from trees with nooses around their neck.
- 1:32:16Speaker 17: The homeowner who did not want to go on camera
- 1:32:18Speaker 17: says he purchased a corpse kit online to create a
- 1:32:21Speaker 17: creepy graveyard on his lawn. It includes mannequins wrapped in
- 1:32:25Speaker 17: black bags and hanging from a tree with tombstones below.
- 1:32:29Speaker 21: The best thing to do is take it down, like
- 1:32:31Speaker 21: at least make the people clear.
- 1:32:32Speaker 17: It's connected to a painful history, would hopefully be enough
- 1:32:36Speaker 17: to help the homeowner make a voluntary action to to
- 1:32:40Speaker 17: change it.
- 1:32:41Speaker 7: Didn't have the intent to offend people but because it
- 1:32:44Speaker 7: does maybe you should change it appropriate.
- 1:32:47Speaker 17: For 2026 the issue also made its way to a
- 1:32:50Speaker 17: council meeting this week where officials confirmed they had already
- 1:32:54Speaker 17: approached the homeowner just so.
- 1:32:56Speaker 1: You know our borough inspector did stop there.
- 1:33:00Speaker 5: But we were.
- 1:33:02Speaker 14: Unsuccessful Okay, when you say unsuccessful.
- 1:33:05Speaker 21: He feels our Halloween direct decorations and he won't take
- 1:33:09Speaker 21: them down.
- 1:33:10Speaker 1: And we don't have an.
- 1:33:11Speaker 3: Ordinance against anything like that.
- 1:33:13Speaker 2: All right, so here's the deal. First of all, I
- 1:33:17Speaker 2: am proud to tell you this did not happen in
- 1:33:19Speaker 2: Alabama or Mississippi. This actually happened in Bristol, Pennsylvania. A
- 1:33:25Speaker 2: homeowner had a Halloween display in the front yard featuring
- 1:33:30Speaker 2: five bodies hanging from a tree. And the NAACP is
- 1:33:34Speaker 2: upset about all of that. You know, the whole point
- 1:33:36Speaker 2: of Halloween is to offend people, right? They do know that.
- 1:33:40Speaker 2: All right. Hang tight.
- 1:33:43Speaker 10: 901-260-5926.
- 1:33:44Speaker 2: Geezaloo. We'll be right back.
- 1:33:58Speaker 5: All right.
- 1:33:59Speaker 2: They're now saying it is a monster, monster crowd. In Wichita, Kansas,
- 1:34:05Speaker 2: just thousands of people turning out to see President Trump.
- 1:34:09Speaker 2: The big rally tonight, 6 o'clock Eastern, and it's going
- 1:34:13Speaker 2: to be a lot of fun. A lot of very
- 1:34:15Speaker 2: excited patriots in the crowd. We're going to be posting
- 1:34:18Speaker 2: some photos. We have some of our crew there in
- 1:34:21Speaker 2: Wichita for the rally today. Well, over the weekend, I
- 1:34:25Speaker 2: was honored to be Master of Ceremonies at the Celebration
- 1:34:28Speaker 2: of Justice. That's the annual gala sponsored by Pacific Justice Institute.
- 1:34:33Speaker 2: We are huge fans of the great work that Brad
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: Dacus and his group do, and it's always a lot
- 1:34:39Speaker 2: of fun. I want to give a special shout-out to
- 1:34:41Speaker 2: my good buddy Joe Messina, who was a little under
- 1:34:46Speaker 2: the weather this weekend, but he's on the road to recovery.
- 1:34:49Speaker 2: Normally I get to see him and his beautiful bride,
- 1:34:52Speaker 2: but they were not there. I did have an opportunity, though.
- 1:34:55Speaker 2: to meet a lady who is running for Congress. She
- 1:34:59Speaker 2: is the Republican nominee in California's 47th congressional district. And
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line, we say hello to
- 1:35:07Speaker 2: Jenny Rae LaRue. Jenny Rae, good to have you with
- 1:35:10Speaker 2: us today.
- 1:35:11Speaker 14: Hi, Todd.
- 1:35:12Speaker 18: Good to be with you. We were in the 47th
- 1:35:15Speaker 18: district this weekend, and it's the only 47th in the country.
- 1:35:17Speaker 18: I think it's the lucky number this time around.
- 1:35:19Speaker 2: Well, let's hope so, Jenny Rae, because we've got a
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: lot riding on this election. I'm wondering what the mood
- 1:35:26Speaker 2: is of the voters out there in the 47th.
- 1:35:30Speaker 18: California is such an interesting place, Todd, because a lot
- 1:35:34Speaker 18: of people are just frustrated with government in general. And
- 1:35:36Speaker 18: I think the work that we're doing at Caldoge on
- 1:35:38Speaker 18: fraud is really highlighting this. They're mad that the government
- 1:35:42Speaker 18: has been wasting their money. They don't feel like anybody
- 1:35:45Speaker 18: is fighting for them. And they're so mad at California government.
- 1:35:49Speaker 18: They're also mad at the federal government, at Congress not
- 1:35:51Speaker 18: getting stuff done. And so it really creates an interesting
- 1:35:55Speaker 18: situation for this election. My race will be very close.
- 1:35:58Speaker 18: It's a single-digit race within the margin of error, and
- 1:36:03Speaker 18: it will be one of the most competitive races in
- 1:36:04Speaker 18: the country. I would say with a ton of conviction
- 1:36:08Speaker 18: that the pathway to the majority goes through my district
- 1:36:10Speaker 18: in California.
- 1:36:11Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there's no doubt about that. And we're going
- 1:36:14Speaker 2: to lose some good Republicans as a result of redistricting,
- 1:36:18Speaker 2: but I'm excited about your chances there in the 47th.
- 1:36:22Speaker 2: And you mentioned CalDoge, which is something that you've spearheaded.
- 1:36:28Speaker 2: And I'm curious what you guys have found in your
- 1:36:30Speaker 2: efforts to try to root out the fraud and the
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: waste and abuse there in California.
- 1:36:36Speaker 18: Todd, I am a businesswoman and a mom. I'm not
- 1:36:39Speaker 18: a politician. In fact, I wasn't even thinking about running
- 1:36:42Speaker 18: for Congress this year. But last year in 2025, when
- 1:36:45Speaker 18: I watched what Doge was doing, the $ 60 billion in
- 1:36:48Speaker 18: cuts to USAID, I recognize that we were making a
- 1:36:53Speaker 18: game-changing move to how we message and influence in foreign governments.
- 1:36:59Speaker 18: We need to do the same thing in California. We
- 1:37:01Speaker 18: have thousands. We estimate over 30,000 NGOs that receive government
- 1:37:07Speaker 18: funding in California. They are a network that is anti-American, anti-California.
- 1:37:13Speaker 18: They are anti-conservative, but they're specifically focused on building the
- 1:37:16Speaker 18: world's largest phone tree for Get Out the Vote. When
- 1:37:19Speaker 18: people talk about issues that happen in California, you saw
- 1:37:23Speaker 18: this in action when Eric Swalwell dropped out of the
- 1:37:26Speaker 18: race on a Friday. By the next Tuesday, a guy
- 1:37:29Speaker 18: that was polling fifth all of a sudden was in first.
- 1:37:32Speaker 18: That doesn't happen by accident. There's a machine that has
- 1:37:35Speaker 18: been built with taxpayer dollars. And we found that kind
- 1:37:38Speaker 18: of fraud, which is misappropriated funds, funds that were supposed
- 1:37:42Speaker 18: to go toward education and water saving and low-income housing
- 1:37:47Speaker 18: and homelessness, But we also have found what I would
- 1:37:50Speaker 18: call traditional fraud, the fraud that is just stealing from
- 1:37:54Speaker 18: taxpayers outright. When you say that you're having kids in
- 1:37:57Speaker 18: your house, we found 12 ghost daycares in San Diego County,
- 1:38:02Speaker 18: closed those down, over $ 10 million a year. We found
- 1:38:05Speaker 18: 33 bodegas cheating the SNAP system in Los Angeles County,
- 1:38:10Speaker 18: closed down their ability to accept SNAP benefits because they
- 1:38:14Speaker 18: were using the money on lottery tickets and alcohol and
- 1:38:17Speaker 18: We found homeless funding, $ 745 million unaccounted for. We bought
- 1:38:24Speaker 18: buildings and then didn't put homeless people in them. California
- 1:38:27Speaker 18: has just been a case study for how you can
- 1:38:30Speaker 18: destabilize the nation using taxpayer dollars. And that's why I
- 1:38:33Speaker 18: decided to run for Congress, because somebody has to stop
- 1:38:36Speaker 18: it before it gets to California or it disappears into
- 1:38:38Speaker 18: this giant black hole.
- 1:38:40Speaker 2: I want to back up for just a minute. I
- 1:38:41Speaker 2: want to make sure I heard that number correctly. $ 745
- 1:38:43Speaker 2: million that is unaccounted for?
- 1:38:48Speaker 18: Absolutely. We have, in fact, we've only done four major investigations.
- 1:38:52Speaker 18: We have over 2,000 whistleblower reports that we're now tracking
- 1:38:55Speaker 18: down in California. I call myself the priestess of fraud.
- 1:38:59Speaker 18: Everywhere I go, people say, I've got another one for you.
- 1:39:02Speaker 18: Let me pull you aside and tell you about my
- 1:39:05Speaker 18: fraud problem. And we have so many of these things,
- 1:39:08Speaker 18: but that's one of our four instances, $ 745 million in
- 1:39:10Speaker 18: homelessness funding. And the homelessness projects through Homekey and LASA,
- 1:39:18Speaker 18: a group that actually Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles,
- 1:39:21Speaker 18: was pulled in front of Congress or requested. She did
- 1:39:24Speaker 18: not go, but they requested for her to come in
- 1:39:27Speaker 18: front of Congress to account for it. It is a
- 1:39:30Speaker 18: giant black hole, just to say it again, of money
- 1:39:33Speaker 18: in California that has gone to these NGOs with zero accountability.
- 1:39:37Speaker 18: And those are federal funds. That's not our dollars in California.
- 1:39:40Speaker 18: That's your dollars, America. coming into California. This is why
- 1:39:43Speaker 18: I want to run for Congress.
- 1:39:44Speaker 2: To stop it. I'm not sure people can truly understand
- 1:39:48Speaker 2: how bad the homeless situation is there. I've spent the
- 1:39:53Speaker 2: past couple of weeks in California driving around a lot
- 1:39:57Speaker 2: from Chino Hills all the way up to San Francisco.
- 1:40:00Speaker 2: And it's just shocking. Entire streets and neighborhoods have just
- 1:40:03Speaker 2: been taken over by people. And yet, granted, there are
- 1:40:07Speaker 2: some people who genuinely are homeless, they can't afford things,
- 1:40:11Speaker 2: but we're by and large, we're talking about drug addicts
- 1:40:14Speaker 2: and a lot of riffraff out there.
- 1:40:17Speaker 18: Todd, this is ultimately a question of whether we care
- 1:40:20Speaker 18: about the law or not. There's one investigation that we did.
- 1:40:23Speaker 18: We found $ 928 million that was supposed to go towards
- 1:40:27Speaker 18: solar panels for affordable housing that actually went to a
- 1:40:31Speaker 18: get out the vote network, violating IRS tax code, This
- 1:40:35Speaker 18: is currently under investigation with the DOJ and the FBI.
- 1:40:40Speaker 18: But we did the whistleblowing report on this. Well, the
- 1:40:42Speaker 18: block where this building is, is surrounded by homeless encampments.
- 1:40:47Speaker 18: You cannot even walk on the sidewalk anywhere. And we're
- 1:40:51Speaker 18: 20 blocks off of Skid Row. It's just that all
- 1:40:54Speaker 18: of Los Angeles is like this. And I went with
- 1:40:57Speaker 18: a friend of mine. We walked around the area and
- 1:40:59Speaker 18: we called the police and we said, you know, hey,
- 1:41:02Speaker 18: we'd really love for somebody to come over. And we
- 1:41:04Speaker 18: asked them, why don't you do anything about it? They said, well,
- 1:41:06Speaker 18: city council told us not to. This is the exact
- 1:41:09Speaker 18: problem that we're finding in California. We're spending federal money
- 1:41:13Speaker 18: to solve homelessness because people are compassionate and they care
- 1:41:17Speaker 18: and they know that it's a problem. But then it's
- 1:41:19Speaker 18: getting stifled, wasted, and moved to the side for these
- 1:41:22Speaker 18: other pet projects without any accountability. And it's not just funding.
- 1:41:27Speaker 18: It's funding of a culture war. That's really what we
- 1:41:29Speaker 18: have here. It's not just money. It's actually values that
- 1:41:33Speaker 18: are being expressed through these issues. And that's exactly why
- 1:41:36Speaker 18: we need Congress to have bigger teeth and more muscle
- 1:41:40Speaker 18: when it comes to saying, no, I'm sorry, you're not
- 1:41:41Speaker 18: going to be able to do this anymore in California.
- 1:41:44Speaker 2: Jenny Rae LaRue is running for Congress from California's 47th
- 1:41:48Speaker 2: congressional district. She is the Republican nominee in that race.
- 1:41:52Speaker 2: Jenny Rae, I'm just curious what voters, what you're hearing
- 1:41:56Speaker 2: from voters, and what is it going to take to
- 1:41:58Speaker 2: get some of those? Well, let's just start with the independents.
- 1:42:01Speaker 2: What will it take to get independents to vote Republican
- 1:42:04Speaker 2: this election cycle?
- 1:42:06Speaker 18: Todd, really, we have a choice in front of the independents.
- 1:42:10Speaker 18: Today I put out a video that said Paris is
- 1:42:12Speaker 18: burning and Orange County is next. We had riots on
- 1:42:15Speaker 18: Newport Beach, one of the most expensive stretches of real
- 1:42:18Speaker 18: estate in the country, on the 4th of July. And
- 1:42:21Speaker 18: everybody here knows that it's at our doorstep if we
- 1:42:24Speaker 18: don't continue on the safety and security pathway that we have.
- 1:42:28Speaker 18: The antithesis of that is the rise of the DSA.
- 1:42:31Speaker 18: And unfortunately, the embrace of the DSA inside the Democrat Party.
- 1:42:35Speaker 18: And my opponent is no different. He has voted with
- 1:42:37Speaker 18: the squad every step along the way. He's out of
- 1:42:40Speaker 18: touch with the moderates in our county. And that's the
- 1:42:42Speaker 18: question that we're asking them. What future do you want?
- 1:42:45Speaker 18: Do you want Paris or do you want Orange County?
- 1:42:48Speaker 18: Because right now we get to live here, but we
- 1:42:49Speaker 18: don't get to keep it if we vote a different way.
- 1:42:52Speaker 18: And that's the exact juxtaposition that these moderates are facing today.
- 1:42:56Speaker 18: By the way, we have a very unique cultural coalition
- 1:42:59Speaker 18: in my district. We have a significant Persian group that
- 1:43:03Speaker 18: is incredibly supportive of what we are doing right now
- 1:43:06Speaker 18: as conservatives in the nation. We also have Jewish Democrats
- 1:43:11Speaker 18: that say, I'm sorry, I cannot vote. The party, the
- 1:43:14Speaker 18: Democrat party that I voted for for 40 years, this
- 1:43:16Speaker 18: party is no longer safe for us. There's an existential
- 1:43:19Speaker 18: threat for our people. We have Hindu voters. We have
- 1:43:22Speaker 18: A coalition of voters that makes up more than a
- 1:43:25Speaker 18: quarter of our district that are traditionally swing voters that
- 1:43:29Speaker 18: have moved our direction. So that combined with California is
- 1:43:33Speaker 18: too expensive and nobody has been fighting for us, especially
- 1:43:36Speaker 18: here in the district, has created an opportunity for change. Again,
- 1:43:39Speaker 18: it was always going to be a close election, but
- 1:43:41Speaker 18: this one will go our way this time.
- 1:43:43Speaker 16: All right.
- 1:43:43Speaker 2: Jenny Rae, where can people go if they want to
- 1:43:45Speaker 2: get more information about your campaign?
- 1:43:47Speaker 18: We'd love to have you help. Anyone in America can
- 1:43:49Speaker 18: make phone calls, donate, support, or call somebody here in
- 1:43:52Speaker 18: Orange County. My website is JennyRay, R-A-E-C-A, for California,. com. JennyRayCA.com.
- 1:44:00Speaker 18: We're also active on all social media channels under that
- 1:44:03Speaker 18: same handle, JennyRayCA.
- 1:44:05Speaker 2: All right. Well, Jenny Ray, we're going to get you
- 1:44:06Speaker 2: back on between now and Election Day. Very excited about
- 1:44:10Speaker 2: your campaign, and good luck to you out there.
- 1:44:14Speaker 14: Thank you, Todd.
- 1:44:15Speaker 18: Thanks for having me on.
- 1:44:16Speaker 2: All right. Jenny Rae LaRue, and she is the Republican
- 1:44:20Speaker 2: nominee for California's 47th. Dylan, when I was introduced to
- 1:44:24Speaker 2: her at the, we had a little VIP reception before
- 1:44:27Speaker 2: the gala and I had a chance to meet her.
- 1:44:30Speaker 2: And the first thing I said when she was introduced,
- 1:44:34Speaker 2: I'm like, you've got to be from the South with
- 1:44:36Speaker 2: a double name like that. And it turns out she
- 1:44:38Speaker 2: was born right here in Memphis, Tennessee.
- 1:44:41Speaker 3: That's awesome. Yeah. That's a very cool name.
- 1:44:43Speaker 2: It is Jenny Rae. I mean, In the South, most
- 1:44:46Speaker 2: of the women have double names.
- 1:44:49Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
- 1:44:50Speaker 2: Your grandmother, Esther Lynn.
- 1:44:53Speaker 3: I don't know of any, like, Southern girl or woman
- 1:44:57Speaker 3: who doesn't have a double name.
- 1:44:59Speaker 2: Remember, well, remember Barney Fife's girlfriend. So, Betty Lou. Yeah, yep,
- 1:45:04Speaker 2: there it is. So, I'm sure there's some more clever
- 1:45:09Speaker 2: names out there, but if you're from the South, there's
- 1:45:12Speaker 2: a pretty good chance you've got like a double first name.
- 1:45:16Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 1:45:17Speaker 3: Like Grace has to be the most common middle name
- 1:45:20Speaker 3: I've seen for a girl.
- 1:45:22Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
- 1:45:23Speaker 3: Everyone is something Grace.
- 1:45:24Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Margaret Grace or Mary Margaret.
- 1:45:28Speaker 1: Ah, yeah.
- 1:45:29Speaker 2: So the Catholic, yeah, that's really the Italians. They got
- 1:45:32Speaker 2: the Mary Margaret combo platter. Or Mary Catherine.
- 1:45:36Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 1:45:37Speaker 2: So there you go.
- 1:45:38Speaker 3: Endless possibilities there.
- 1:45:39Speaker 2: Endless possibilities. All right, we've got to take a quick
- 1:45:42Speaker 2: break here, folks.
- 1:45:43Speaker 10: 901-260-5926.
- 1:45:43Speaker 2: That's 901-260-5926. We'll be right back. All right, if you

- 1:46:39Speaker 2: of Michigan where Alyssa Slotkin, she is the Democrat senator,
- 1:46:44Speaker 2: and she was on one of the TV shows talking
- 1:46:48Speaker 2: about how she wants to punish people who are currently
- 1:46:52Speaker 2: in the Trump administration. And the reason why she wants
- 1:46:55Speaker 2: to punish people is so that other young people will
- 1:47:00Speaker 2: think twice before taking a job With President Trump or
- 1:47:05Speaker 2: any America first, lawmakers cut to place.
- 1:47:08Speaker 18: So that's what I'm saying.
- 1:47:09Speaker 21: I want to look at these signature cases and not
- 1:47:12Speaker 21: just focus on the president, but on the people who
- 1:47:15Speaker 21: enabled him. I want young people coming out of school
- 1:47:18Speaker 21: to say, should I go work for the Trump administration? Like,
- 1:47:20Speaker 21: that sounds fun. I might get an opportunity. I want
- 1:47:23Speaker 21: them to be like, Lord, that might be buying myself
- 1:47:26Speaker 21: a ton of problems that I don't want. And so
- 1:47:29Speaker 21: let me avoid participating in that. I want that deterrence message.
- 1:47:35Speaker 16: Yeah.
- 1:47:35Speaker 2: So she's wanting a message sent. that if you are
- 1:47:39Speaker 2: a conservative, you will be punished. There will be a
- 1:47:42Speaker 2: price to pay for working in the Trump administration. And
- 1:47:46Speaker 2: by the way, this is nothing new. This has been
- 1:47:48Speaker 2: going on for a very, very long time. As a
- 1:47:52Speaker 2: matter of fact, it was AOC who said that, is
- 1:47:56Speaker 2: anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to
- 1:48:00Speaker 2: downplay or deny their complicity in the future? There was
- 1:48:06Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton. And Hillary Clinton, speaking to CNN, said maybe
- 1:48:10Speaker 2: there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members.
- 1:48:15Speaker 2: Something needs to happen. There was also a congressional candidate
- 1:48:21Speaker 2: in New York State who said a re-education camp needs
- 1:48:25Speaker 2: to happen. Quote, I don't think we really want to
- 1:48:28Speaker 2: call it that, but a re-education camp. Congressman Tim Ryan
- 1:48:35Speaker 2: who was running for the Senate at the time from Ohio, said,
- 1:48:39Speaker 2: we've got to kill and confront that movement, talking about
- 1:48:42Speaker 2: Trump and the America First movement. There was also a
- 1:48:46Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders staffer by the name of Martin Weisgerber. He
- 1:48:52Speaker 2: said that MAGA supporters should be sent to re-education camps.
- 1:48:59Speaker 2: Kyle Jurek, an Iowa field organizer for Bernie Sanders, asked
- 1:49:03Speaker 2: whether MAGA supporters could be re-educated. He answered, I mean,
- 1:49:06Speaker 2: we got to try. There's a reason Joseph Stalin had gulags, right?
- 1:49:14Speaker 2: And then Martin Weisgerber, identified as a Sanders field organizer
- 1:49:18Speaker 2: in South Carolina, said, what will help is when we
- 1:49:21Speaker 2: send all the Republicans to the re-education camps. So, ladies
- 1:49:28Speaker 2: and gentlemen, when you have a sitting United States senator
- 1:49:31Speaker 2: saying something like this, you need to believe these people
- 1:49:34Speaker 2: because that's what they intend to do. And this is
- 1:49:37Speaker 2: why we've got to root this out. Honestly, Senator Slotkin
- 1:49:42Speaker 2: ought to be censured for what she said, and she
- 1:49:45Speaker 2: ought to be removed from the Senate. I mean, this
- 1:49:48Speaker 2: is outrageous that we're sending anybody just because, again, she
- 1:49:52Speaker 2: believes that someone like me should go to a gulag
- 1:49:57Speaker 2: or a re-education camp because I don't agree with her politics.
- 1:50:01Speaker 2: I mean, do you realize how insane that sounds? And
- 1:50:07Speaker 2: then they try to be dismissive of these comments. But,
- 1:50:10Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, I've been chronicling all of these comments
- 1:50:14Speaker 2: since I'm not going to let him get away with this.
- 1:50:17Speaker 2: This is not some sort of a slip of the tongue.
- 1:50:19Speaker 2: It's not some sort of an oopsie moment. No, this
- 1:50:23Speaker 2: is what these people truly believe. They want to put
- 1:50:27Speaker 2: you in a re-education camp. And we're not going to
- 1:50:31Speaker 2: let him do it. I'm just telling you, we're not
- 1:50:34Speaker 2: going to let them do that. Now you understand, I hope,
- 1:50:38Speaker 2: why November 3rd is so vitally important. I would urge you,
- 1:50:42Speaker 2: get out, early vote, bring a friend, bring a neighbor,
- 1:50:44Speaker 2: bring your family with you. But everybody, it's all hands
- 1:50:50Speaker 2: on deck if we are going to save the republic.
- 1:50:54Speaker 2: And that's the message going forward. And I'm pretty excited
- 1:50:57Speaker 2: and I'm bullish about it. I can't wait to hear
- 1:51:00Speaker 2: from the president tonight in Wichita. The president is working
- 1:51:04Speaker 2: around the clock. I have never seen anybody work harder
- 1:51:07Speaker 2: than that man. He doesn't have to do this, by
- 1:51:10Speaker 2: the way. He doesn't have to. He could be down
- 1:51:13Speaker 2: playing golf every weekend, but he's not. He's out there
- 1:51:18Speaker 2: on the campaign trail because he loves our country, and
- 1:51:22Speaker 2: we appreciate the great work that President Trump is doing.
- 1:51:26Speaker 2: All right, ladies and gentlemen, Christmastime right around the corner,
- 1:51:29Speaker 2: and I want to urge you to get a copy
- 1:51:31Speaker 2: of The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America. You're going
- 1:51:34Speaker 2: to love this book. It's a beautiful book cover. It
- 1:51:36Speaker 2: kind of takes you back to the Art Deco world
- 1:51:39Speaker 2: of the Roaring Twenties. The book is a celebration of
- 1:51:42Speaker 2: what Trump has accomplished, but it's also a call to
- 1:51:45Speaker 2: action for all the rest of us. How do we
- 1:51:48Speaker 2: carry on the America First movement into the next generation
- 1:51:52Speaker 2: and into the next, well, the next years? Well, I
- 1:51:56Speaker 2: show you how to do that in the golden age.
- 1:51:58Speaker 2: It is a fun and entertaining book, and it makes
- 1:52:00Speaker 2: a wonderful Christmas present. Get yourself a copy on Amazon,
- 1:52:04Speaker 2: Barnes & Noble, wherever you buy your books. All right,
- 1:52:07Speaker 2: that music means I've got to scoot out of here.
- 1:52:09Speaker 2: I am on the road tomorrow. We'll be broadcasting from Houston, Texas.
- 1:52:14Speaker 2: It's going to be a lot of fun. Folks, we'll
- 1:52:16Speaker 2: see you at Collectors Firearms tomorrow, 4 o'clock in Houston, Texas.
- 1:52:21Speaker 2: Be good, everybody.
