Transcript
- 0:10Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 0:14Speaker 1: America's favorite gun, total bible clinging, deplorable American.
- 0:18Speaker 2: That's that's that.
- 0:22Speaker 3: This American.
- 0:25Speaker 4: Todd starts well day. You know, I knew this. I
- 0:31Speaker 4: knew this day was going to come eventually. It was
- 0:33Speaker 4: just really a matter of time, especially when you've been
- 0:38Speaker 4: following a lot of the social media influencers over the
- 0:44Speaker 4: past couple of years. Now, Hello everybody. First of all,
- 0:46Speaker 4: welcome to the Tod Starns Radio program. I am your host,
- 0:49Speaker 4: Todd Starns. And one of the things that you can
- 0:54Speaker 4: and a lot of people can say a lot of
- 0:55Speaker 4: things about me and Sean Kingley, a lot of people
- 0:57Speaker 4: have over the years, but one of the things they
- 1:00Speaker 4: can never say about Todd Stearns is that he has
- 1:04Speaker 4: changed his views on any of his foundational beliefs. That
- 1:09Speaker 4: has just it just never has happened, and it never
- 1:12Speaker 4: will because those are the beliefs that make me who
- 1:16Speaker 4: I am. Now, you may not like everything I say.
- 1:19Speaker 4: For example, Jerry the liberal out in well Milwaukee, one
- 1:23Speaker 4: of our regulars on the show, and I get that,
- 1:26Speaker 4: and that's fine, but at the same time, you do
- 1:29Speaker 4: have to respect the fact that my belief system has
- 1:34Speaker 4: gone unaltered. In other words, I'm not paid to share
- 1:39Speaker 4: an opinion with you. And over the past I don't
- 1:42Speaker 4: know a couple of Wow, it's been well seven or
- 1:44Speaker 4: eight months now, we have seen a lot of these
- 1:47Speaker 4: so called social media influencers, the Maga crowd, and they've
- 1:52Speaker 4: turned on Donald Trump. And I have a couple of
- 1:53Speaker 4: theories about that that I want to share with you
- 1:55Speaker 4: because it's getting really ugly right now, and I think
- 1:59Speaker 4: where entering a very dangerous time in American history, and
- 2:04Speaker 4: especially the Trump presidency. And I want to explain what
- 2:06Speaker 4: I mean by that, because there are a lot of
- 2:08Speaker 4: people up on Capitol Hill that do not like our president.
- 2:12Speaker 4: They hate our president. As a matter of fact, there
- 2:14Speaker 4: are some people who on camera will tell you that
- 2:17Speaker 4: they are America first, they're pro Trump, but in private,
- 2:21Speaker 4: behind the scenes, they are anything but that. But they're
- 2:26Speaker 4: trying to protect their political whatever political influence they might
- 2:31Speaker 4: have he or she. So the reality is, if you
- 2:36Speaker 4: if the polling turned sour for the president, and if
- 2:39Speaker 4: enough of these so called conservative social media influences, the
- 2:42Speaker 4: MAGA crowd, if they begin to turn on Trump, it's
- 2:45Speaker 4: going to give those lawmakers cover. And that is why
- 2:50Speaker 4: I say this is a very dangerous period right now
- 2:53Speaker 4: for the Trump administration. And I'm talking about people like
- 2:57Speaker 4: Tucker Carlson and Candice Owans and Marjorie Taylor Green and
- 3:02Speaker 4: Alex Jones and Nick Fuintes, and the list goes on
- 3:07Speaker 4: and on. By the way, if you notice how Megan
- 3:11Speaker 4: Kelly's backing up a little bit, you know why because
- 3:13Speaker 4: she was losing losing influence, so she's trying to re
- 3:18Speaker 4: embrace herself, reconnect with the conservative world. You see how
- 3:24Speaker 4: the game is being played here, folks. So the reality
- 3:27Speaker 4: is that I think Alex Jones and Tucker and all
- 3:30Speaker 4: of these folks, I think they smell blood in the
- 3:32Speaker 4: water here. They feel like Trump is back on his heels,
- 3:36Speaker 4: and now they are calling for Trump to be removed
- 3:39Speaker 4: from office. As a matter of fact, Alex Jones has
- 3:44Speaker 4: made an abrupt turn. I want you to listen to
- 3:46Speaker 4: what he said just a few days ago about the
- 3:50Speaker 4: president and then what he said yesterday about the president.
- 3:53Speaker 4: Cut twelve.
- 3:54Speaker 5: Please, when your ankles swell up three times the size
- 3:56Speaker 5: they were before, that means heart failure. And he does
- 3:59Speaker 5: look sick, and he does babble and you know, sound
- 4:06Speaker 5: like the brain's not doing too hot.
- 4:10Speaker 4: And so we just cut bait.
- 4:12Speaker 5: On Trump and we just mobilize against the Democrats, and
- 4:16Speaker 5: we mobilize against neocons.
- 4:18Speaker 4: We primary them, and we.
- 4:19Speaker 5: Just fight even harder because look at how we've turned
- 4:22Speaker 5: the tide. Look at all the good we've done. There's
- 4:25Speaker 5: a fourth turning. Populist nationalist conservatives are winning everywhere. There's
- 4:28Speaker 5: a Christian reawakening, and Trump is just a minor figure
- 4:32Speaker 5: in all of that now. And we have to be
- 4:34Speaker 5: appreciative of the old Trump that went through so much
- 4:37Speaker 5: and got so much done. And that's what Trump we remember,
- 4:41Speaker 5: and we're just sad because that happens. We need to
- 4:43Speaker 5: be sad about Trump. This is not funny, this is
- 4:46Speaker 5: not good. But he's gone and that's it. And all
- 4:53Speaker 5: the people rallied around him. You can see heccess freaked out.
- 4:56Speaker 5: You can see the Presbactery's freaked out. They're being loyal.
- 5:00Speaker 5: They think it's a lesser of two evils. And I okay,
- 5:03Speaker 5: but I just trump Ney's intervention. He's to take some
- 5:07Speaker 5: time off. We need to pray for Trump. The Holy
- 5:10Speaker 5: Spirit touch his heart and loose him for whatever evil
- 5:13Speaker 5: control he's under. I'm serious, and I think that's the answer.
- 5:16Speaker 5: We need to pray for President Trump. We need to
- 5:22Speaker 5: We need to pray for other people to be awakened.
- 5:27Speaker 5: We need to pray for justice and peace.
- 5:30Speaker 4: So he goes on. And then yesterday here's what Alex
- 5:33Speaker 4: Jones had to say about the process of invoking the
- 5:37Speaker 4: twenty fifth Amendment, which would require the vice president and
- 5:41Speaker 4: the cabinet to remove President Trump from office. Take a
- 5:45Speaker 4: listen to Cup.
- 5:45Speaker 5: Thirteen PARADEX social tread How do we twenty fifth amendents asked?
- 5:50Speaker 6: The problem is to get the twenty fifth of minutes
- 5:52Speaker 6: harder than impeachment. You have to get two thirds of
- 5:54Speaker 6: the House and two thirds of this tackle Trump and
- 5:59Speaker 6: pretend and pretend he's president and publicly report that he's
- 6:03Speaker 6: going through a health issue. Advanced takeover. It literally needs
- 6:06Speaker 6: to be something like that. It's that bad.
- 6:08Speaker 4: They due.
- 6:10Speaker 5: You've never called for an internal coup before, ever, ever, ever.
- 6:15Speaker 4: But that's how dangerous this is. That's how risky it
- 6:17Speaker 4: is for the wor that was the Democrats.
- 6:18Speaker 5: I'd stopped poking Trump and messing with that only makes
- 6:21Speaker 5: it worse, Like, you guys need to watch out. This
- 6:23Speaker 5: isn't a guy how much like it's crazy, this is real.
- 6:26Speaker 6: The well, what's there going to be to take over
- 6:28Speaker 6: in twenty twenty six or twenty twenty eight if this
- 6:30Speaker 6: hits the fan? If we get in to do He's
- 6:32Speaker 6: threatening an extinction level event for the people of a
- 6:35Speaker 6: Ran tomorrow, dude, does does nobody think there'll be any
- 6:38Speaker 6: blowback from that?
- 6:39Speaker 4: If he follows through on that?
- 6:40Speaker 7: The whole world is screwed?
- 6:43Speaker 4: All right? So panic has ensued, ladies and gentlemen. As
- 6:48Speaker 4: a matter of fact, Marjorie Taylor Green is enraged of
- 6:52Speaker 4: all over all of this, and she is demanding that
- 6:56Speaker 4: Donald Trump be removed from office. Of course, Marjorie Taylor Green,
- 7:01Speaker 4: I want to read what Trump wrote. By the way,
- 7:03Speaker 4: this is what set everybody off, and I'm just curious,
- 7:06Speaker 4: have do you now? Do you share these concerns that
- 7:09Speaker 4: a lot of folks have about Donald Trump? Do you
- 7:12Speaker 4: have any concerns about his mental state? I want to
- 7:16Speaker 4: read to you what he wrote, and I'm well, I'll
- 7:20Speaker 4: read it and then I'll give you some commentary on it.
- 7:22Speaker 4: This is what Trump wrote on true Social that has
- 7:25Speaker 4: caused a firestorm. Trump says, a whole civilization will dine tonight,
- 7:30Speaker 4: never to be brought back again. I don't want that
- 7:33Speaker 4: to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we
- 7:37Speaker 4: have complete and total regime change, where different, smarter and
- 7:41Speaker 4: less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen.
- 7:47Speaker 4: Who knows, We will find out tonight one of the
- 7:50Speaker 4: most important moments in the long and complex history of
- 7:54Speaker 4: the world. Forty seven years of extortion, corruption and death
- 8:00Speaker 4: will finally end. God bless the great people of Iran.
- 8:05Speaker 4: And the reality is that you've got a lot of
- 8:07Speaker 4: people out there in Iran that are asking, begging, pleading
- 8:10Speaker 4: with the president bomb us to the Stone Age, just
- 8:14Speaker 4: get rid of these guys. And the Iranian people are
- 8:17Speaker 4: in a really tough spot right now because they've got
- 8:20Speaker 4: no weapons to find.
- 8:21Speaker 8: Back.
- 8:21Speaker 4: By the way, ladies and gentlemen, hear me on this.
- 8:24Speaker 4: All of you folks who own guns, you get on
- 8:28Speaker 4: your knees and you thank God that you live in
- 8:30Speaker 4: a country where you are allowed to own firearms. You
- 8:33Speaker 4: are allowed to own AMMO. And that's the one saving grace.
- 8:38Speaker 4: That's one of the reasons why the Democrats have never
- 8:40Speaker 4: been able to take over our country is because most
- 8:43Speaker 4: of us, at least in the Southern States, are armed
- 8:46Speaker 4: to the teeth. But a lot of people in this
- 8:51Speaker 4: maga world are just enraged. Marjorie Taylor Green also upset
- 8:56Speaker 4: over what Trump had to say about Well on East Sunday.
- 9:01Speaker 4: He said, Tuesday will be power plant day, bridge day,
- 9:04Speaker 4: all wrapped up in one in Iran. There will be
- 9:07Speaker 4: nothing like it. Open the blanking straight, you crazy mastards,
- 9:12Speaker 4: or you'll be living in hell. Just watch Praise be
- 9:14Speaker 4: to Allah President Donald J. Trump, and MTG is enraged
- 9:20Speaker 4: over this, and she goes on Easter morning, this is
- 9:24Speaker 4: and she wrote this, this is what President Trump posted.
- 9:27Speaker 4: Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian
- 9:30Speaker 4: needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from
- 9:33Speaker 4: God and stop worshiping the president and intervene in Trump's madness.
- 9:38Speaker 4: So they believe that the President's gone mad. Here I know,
- 9:43Speaker 4: I know all of you and him, and he has
- 9:46Speaker 4: gone insane, and all of you are complicit. I'm not
- 9:50Speaker 4: defending Iran, but let's be honest about all of this.
- 9:52Speaker 4: The strait is closed because the US and Israel started
- 9:55Speaker 4: the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear
- 10:00Speaker 4: lies they've been telling for decades. At any moment, Iran
- 10:03Speaker 4: would develop a nuclear weapon. You know who has nuclear
- 10:07Speaker 4: weapons Israel. Well let me stop right here. This woman's
- 10:10Speaker 4: a moron, going back all the way to nineteen seventy
- 10:13Speaker 4: nine when Iran took over our embassy held Americans hostage.
- 10:20Speaker 4: A few years later they blew up the marine barracks
- 10:23Speaker 4: in Beirut Lebanon. There was no payback for that. So
- 10:29Speaker 4: this idea that we're going out there, that Trump is
- 10:31Speaker 4: going out there and starting a war, is just simply lunacy.
- 10:34Speaker 4: And this woman knows that she's not that stupid. She says,
- 10:39Speaker 4: they are more than capable of defending themselves without the
- 10:43Speaker 4: US having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children,
- 10:47Speaker 4: and pay for it. Trump threatening to bomb power plants
- 10:50Speaker 4: and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump
- 10:54Speaker 4: claimed he was freeing. And she goes on to say
- 10:59Speaker 4: that this is not making America great again. This is evil.
- 11:05Speaker 4: So I'm just curious to hear from you today, ladies
- 11:08Speaker 4: and gentlemen. Do you believe that what Trump is doing
- 11:11Speaker 4: here is evil? Do you believe that Donald Trump is
- 11:14Speaker 4: a madman? Do you believe that he is under the
- 11:17Speaker 4: control of the Israelis? Is that what you believe is
- 11:24Speaker 4: happening here? Now? I want to play this before we
- 11:29Speaker 4: go to break that at Tucker Carlson is really upset
- 11:34Speaker 4: about all of this, and he's especially upset that Trump
- 11:40Speaker 4: is mocking Islam. I want you to take a listen
- 11:44Speaker 4: to cut fie. Please, who do you think you are?
- 11:49Speaker 4: You're tweeting out the effort on Easter morning, You'll be
- 11:55Speaker 4: living in hell. Just watch Praise be to Allah. So
- 12:03Speaker 4: obviously you're mocking the religion of Iran. Okay, if you
- 12:09Speaker 4: seek a religious war, that's a good idea. But by
- 12:14Speaker 4: the way, no decent person mocks other people's religions. You
- 12:19Speaker 4: may have a problem with the theology, presumably you do
- 12:22Speaker 4: if it's not your religion, and you can explain what
- 12:24Speaker 4: that is. But to mock other people's faith is to
- 12:28Speaker 4: mock the idea of faith itself, and we should never
- 12:31Speaker 4: mock that because at its core is the acknowledgment that
- 12:34Speaker 4: we are not in charge of the universe. We did
- 12:36Speaker 4: not build it, we won't be here at the end
- 12:38Speaker 4: of it. We can destroy life. We cannot create it
- 12:40Speaker 4: because we are not God. The message of all faith,
- 12:45Speaker 4: at the biggest picture level, is the message in our Bible,
- 12:48Speaker 4: which is you are not God, and only if you
- 12:51Speaker 4: think you are do you talk this way. But it's
- 12:54Speaker 4: not just mockery of Islam. And no president should mock Islam.
- 12:59Speaker 4: That's your job. This is not a theocracy.
- 13:02Speaker 9: We don't go to war with other theocracies to find
- 13:04Speaker 9: out which theocracy is more effective. We are not a theocracy,
- 13:07Speaker 9: and God willing, we never will be, because theocracies corrupt
- 13:11Speaker 9: the religion. No, this is a mockery not just of Islam.
- 13:17Speaker 9: It's a mockery of Christianity. To send out a tweet
- 13:21Speaker 9: with the effort on Easter Morning promising the murder of
- 13:24Speaker 9: civilians and then saying Praise be to Allah without explaining
- 13:27Speaker 9: any of it, you are mocking me and every other
- 13:30Speaker 9: Christian because we're Christians. We can't support that. That is evil.
- 13:33Speaker 9: That is an intentional desecration of beauty and truth, which
- 13:37Speaker 9: is the definition of evil.
- 13:42Speaker 4: All right, there you go, ladies, and Zellwen. That is
- 13:44Speaker 4: Tucker Carlson, who, along with Alex Jones and Marjorie Taylor
- 13:49Speaker 4: Green and Megan Kelly and Candor so Owans, and all
- 13:52Speaker 4: of them have done a complete about face on every
- 13:56Speaker 4: single one of their beliefs, including about President Trump. Who
- 13:59Speaker 4: do you stand with here, ladies and gentlemen. Nine oh

- 16:14Speaker 10: I've always knew he was nuts. No, I won't stay
- 16:17Speaker 10: with my president.
- 16:19Speaker 4: Paul, Paul, you are it was the laugh, was it?
- 16:22Speaker 4: It's a weird laugh for a grown man to have
- 16:24Speaker 4: a laugh like that. Something's not right there that that
- 16:28Speaker 4: front porch like may be on, but nobody's home.
- 16:31Speaker 10: He's always done that. I've always knew he was nuts,

- 16:52Speaker 10: I mean, he's done everything us.
- 16:56Speaker 4: Paul. Let me say something about that. And I'm with you.
- 16:58Speaker 4: I have been with the president from day one and
- 17:01Speaker 4: I have not waivered. And here's the reason why the
- 17:04Speaker 4: man took a bullet in the ear for me and
- 17:06Speaker 4: for every other freedom loving American. They nearly tried to
- 17:10Speaker 4: kill the guy, at least twice that we know of.
- 17:12Speaker 4: So that guy, I'm always giving him the benefit of
- 17:15Speaker 4: the doubt.
- 17:17Speaker 7: That's it.
- 17:18Speaker 4: That's it, Paul, God bless you and thank you for
- 17:20Speaker 4: listening to our friends down there. Good, good buddy Noah Brett,

- 17:27Speaker 4: radio crowd. We have that in South Mississippi. Well, let's

- 17:47Speaker 13: two and her miles is, I listen to you. I
- 17:49Speaker 13: stand behind you, stand with our president. If people don't
- 17:54Speaker 13: realize what happened on Easter morning. Yeah, No, I appreciate
- 17:59Speaker 13: everything you do, Todd, and I appreciate you speaking the truth.
- 18:03Speaker 4: Kathy. Look, I'm you know, I know all these I'm
- 18:06Speaker 4: a Baptist, so I can say this about my people. Uh,
- 18:09Speaker 4: And I know a lot of Baptists were upset about
- 18:11Speaker 4: President Trump and the language. Clearly they have never been
- 18:14Speaker 4: to a Wednesday night church business meeting. Because you try
- 18:17Speaker 4: to change the carpet in the church. Let me tell
- 18:19Speaker 4: you you're gonna hear some salty language.
- 18:22Speaker 13: I'm about this too, I get it. I like you
- 18:25Speaker 13: say in those words. No, of course I wasn't. I
- 18:29Speaker 13: wasn't in his shoes. We don't know what he goes through.
- 18:31Speaker 13: How many people were it's across on Sunday. Who was
- 18:34Speaker 13: the first person there? Mary Magdalene? Who was the first
- 18:37Speaker 13: person Easter morning? Mary Magdalen? If we all are to
- 18:40Speaker 13: look at ourselves like that, we would understand.
- 18:44Speaker 4: Kathy Well said, by the way, give your real estate
- 18:47Speaker 4: what's your real estate company? Why do you give us
- 18:48Speaker 4: a shout out? Well? All right, you just did it
- 18:53Speaker 4: on national radio. Kathy, God bless you, God bless you.
- 18:57Speaker 7: All right, God bless.
- 18:58Speaker 4: Thanks, Kathy, Thanks for Colin. Be safe out there on
- 19:01Speaker 4: the roadways. Hang tight, everybody gotta take a break. The
- 19:05Speaker 4: question is very simple. Do you stand with the president
- 19:07Speaker 4: or have you had a change of heart? And look,
- 19:09Speaker 4: there's nothing wrong with having a difference of opinion with
- 19:12Speaker 4: the president. Do I agree with him on everything? Absolutely not.
- 19:16Speaker 4: But I do believe what this man is doing and
- 19:18Speaker 4: he is our leader. All Right, nine oh one two
- 19:21Speaker 4: six zero five nine two six hour telephone number. That's
- 19:24Speaker 4: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 19:28Speaker 4: This is the Todd Sterns Show. All right, welcome back, everybody,
- 19:42Speaker 4: this is the Todd Stearns Radio Show, and we've got
- 19:46Speaker 4: a lot of folks on hold, hang tight, We're going
- 19:48Speaker 4: to get to your calls. Don't go anywhere, but I
- 19:51Speaker 4: do want to go right away to our Patriot mobile
- 19:53Speaker 4: to news maker line, and welcome into the conversation a
- 19:56Speaker 4: good friend, retired Brigadier General John Tiker, we call him Dragon. John.
- 20:03Speaker 4: Good to have you with us today, and I'm gonna
- 20:06Speaker 4: be this is not going to be softball questions today,
- 20:09Speaker 4: my friend, But because there's a lot of heavy stuff
- 20:12Speaker 4: that's about to happen.
- 20:14Speaker 14: Well, Todd, bring it on. I'm ready for the touchdown.
- 20:16Speaker 4: All right, good stuff. Well, you know, there's a lot
- 20:18Speaker 4: of concern over WHOA, there's a lot of concern over
- 20:23Speaker 4: what's been happening with the war in Iran right now,
- 20:27Speaker 4: the President giving a deadline what eight o'clock tonight, and
- 20:31Speaker 4: then he said, the President writing earlier today that we
- 20:34Speaker 4: could see a civilization wiped out? Do you consider that?
- 20:37Speaker 4: Would that be considered a war crime?
- 20:41Speaker 14: Todd?
- 20:41Speaker 15: I don't think the President is going to go beyond
- 20:44Speaker 15: the rhetoric in that particular situation, but I do think
- 20:48Speaker 15: there's going to be escalation that starts tonight because there's
- 20:52Speaker 15: two things thus far that we have not done or
- 20:55Speaker 15: that we have not touched. We have not struck Iron's
- 20:58Speaker 15: ability to export oil, which is the lifeblood of the regime,
- 21:03Speaker 15: and I think that is going to start tonight. He
- 21:05Speaker 15: talks about power plants, the president does, he talks about
- 21:08Speaker 15: real lines. He might do some of that, but I
- 21:10Speaker 15: think he's going to focus on what is the thing
- 21:12Speaker 15: that funds the regime, and that is their oil and
- 21:16Speaker 15: cargo island, and I think there's going to be pretty
- 21:18Speaker 15: intense strikes. I don't think a ground invasion, but strikes
- 21:21Speaker 15: on carg tonight. And then the other element that we
- 21:24Speaker 15: haven't seen thus far is the United States military going
- 21:27Speaker 15: after targets that can facilitate regime change. Israel has focused
- 21:31Speaker 15: on those types of targets leadership targets, command and control targets,
- 21:35Speaker 15: or internal security targets, and I think starting tonight, we're
- 21:38Speaker 15: going to use the might of the US military to
- 21:41Speaker 15: help in those two areas, either to foster regime change
- 21:44Speaker 15: or something I call regime enlightenment, which is them understanding
- 21:47Speaker 15: it's in their best interest to open up the straight
- 21:50Speaker 15: and yield to our interests.
- 21:51Speaker 4: You know, it's a very troubling thing. There's some video,
- 21:54Speaker 4: and again I think if you're watching a lot of
- 21:57Speaker 4: the video and social media, you have to really your homework.
- 22:01Speaker 4: But this particular video, if it is authentic, shows children
- 22:07Speaker 4: being put on bridges in key areas of Iran. The
- 22:11Speaker 4: idea that this regime would use children on those bridges
- 22:17Speaker 4: is beyond evil, and my estimation.
- 22:21Speaker 14: Todd it is.
- 22:22Speaker 15: But it's really sadly not a surprise that they mowed
- 22:26Speaker 15: down forty five thousand of their own citizens a few
- 22:30Speaker 15: months ago. They likely took captive another tens of thousands.
- 22:35Speaker 15: And there have been two primary characteristics of this regime
- 22:38Speaker 15: for the last forty seven years. They repress or suppress
- 22:41Speaker 15: at home, and they threaten abroad. And they are just
- 22:46Speaker 15: evil to the core. And I really hope that we
- 22:48Speaker 15: do use the might of the United States military to
- 22:51Speaker 15: start fostering conditions for regime change, because not only would
- 22:55Speaker 15: it be good for the ninety million people who live
- 22:56Speaker 15: in Iran, but it would be good for the rest
- 22:59Speaker 15: of humanity.
- 23:00Speaker 14: And I think that we have a chance to do
- 23:01Speaker 14: that starting tonight.
- 23:02Speaker 4: You know, I want to go back to what happened
- 23:04Speaker 4: over the weekend. And of course I also want to
- 23:07Speaker 4: give you. I always boast about your credentials, which are impaccable,
- 23:11Speaker 4: give our listeners a little taste of your career in
- 23:15Speaker 4: the Air Force.
- 23:16Speaker 14: Absolutely, Todd.
- 23:18Speaker 15: I was an F fifteen E combat pilot, and then
- 23:21Speaker 15: I was an F twenty two test pilot. And then
- 23:25Speaker 15: my last four jobs, I commanded the President's Airfield at
- 23:28Speaker 15: Joint Base Andrews. I commanded Edwards Air Force Base, which
- 23:32Speaker 15: is where our test and evaluation of all of the
- 23:34Speaker 15: fancy new technology gets evaluated. And then I was our
- 23:38Speaker 15: nation senior defense official to I Rock deployed for fourteen
- 23:41Speaker 15: months during the height of COVID and the height of
- 23:43Speaker 15: attacks on Americans by the way by Iranian aligned groups
- 23:47Speaker 15: in a rock. And then I ended as the leader
- 23:50Speaker 15: of international Affairs for the Air Force and the Space Force.
- 23:54Speaker 15: And I'll tell you just considering what happened this weekend
- 23:57Speaker 15: with the shootdown of that F fifteen E and my
- 24:00Speaker 15: two brothers in arms, a pilot and a weapon system
- 24:02Speaker 15: officer behind enemy lines. And you know, fighter pilots have heroes,
- 24:06Speaker 15: to Todd, and they're the combat search and rescue personnel
- 24:10Speaker 15: that fly into the teeth of danger to pick us
- 24:13Speaker 15: up when we have a really bad day. And they
- 24:15Speaker 15: did all of that brilliantly this weekend.
- 24:17Speaker 4: When when you were training and early on in your training,
- 24:21Speaker 4: did you go through the same sort of training, the
- 24:24Speaker 4: search and evasion training that these pilots got.
- 24:29Speaker 15: Todd I did, and it was some of the three
- 24:31Speaker 15: most grueling weeks of my life. It's called seer survival, evasion,
- 24:36Speaker 15: resistance and escape. And fortunately they didn't need to get
- 24:40Speaker 15: to the resistance and escape, because that's only once you've
- 24:42Speaker 15: been captured. But how do you survive behind enemy lines
- 24:47Speaker 15: for one day, two days, two weeks, or two months,
- 24:51Speaker 15: and then how do you actively evade in entire countries
- 24:54Speaker 15: worth of personnel who are looking for you? And the
- 24:58Speaker 15: pilot and the Wizzo executed that training in an absolutely
- 25:02Speaker 15: incredible fashion. But again, I go back to those CESAR personnel,
- 25:06Speaker 15: the combat search and rescue, and they are incredible. And
- 25:09Speaker 15: I think what is maybe most impressive about what happened
- 25:11Speaker 15: this weekend is that not only did they fly into
- 25:14Speaker 15: the teeth of danger, but they did so with a
- 25:17Speaker 15: range of contingencies already accepted and understood, and when things
- 25:22Speaker 15: didn't go perfect, they adjusted, and they reflexively understood that
- 25:27Speaker 15: they accomplished their mission even when things weren't exactly nominal
- 25:31Speaker 15: or as planned. And it again is just making me
- 25:34Speaker 15: so proud to be a part of that community where
- 25:37Speaker 15: I came from, and knowing that those CSAR personnel are
- 25:40Speaker 15: always out there and always ready to pick someone up.
- 25:43Speaker 4: We're so honored to have Brigadier General John Tyker with
- 25:46Speaker 4: us today to talk about events that have been unfolding
- 25:50Speaker 4: over the past couple of weeks. You know, General, I
- 25:53Speaker 4: think it was thought it was really interesting that back
- 25:57Speaker 4: at the situation room, it's our understanding the President Trump
- 26:00Speaker 4: and the War Secretary were there through every single bit
- 26:03Speaker 4: of this, and also there was a communication line open
- 26:07Speaker 4: to the weapons officer, so they were monitoring him through
- 26:12Speaker 4: this entire episode.
- 26:15Speaker 15: Todd, I love the top cover that was being provided
- 26:19Speaker 15: by the administration, But maybe the most impressive thing is
- 26:23Speaker 15: that you heard nothing from the Administration or the Pentagon
- 26:27Speaker 15: or US Central Command.
- 26:28Speaker 14: And that was necessary because.
- 26:30Speaker 15: Anything they would have said could have tipped the hand
- 26:34Speaker 15: of what was going on. It's called operational security, and
- 26:38Speaker 15: ruined the opportunity to pick up that widow safely. But
- 26:41Speaker 15: when you parachute down on the ground, you have a
- 26:44Speaker 15: encrypted radio, you have a beacon, and no doubt are
- 26:48Speaker 15: friendly forces all the way up to the White House.
- 26:51Speaker 15: We're monitoring the general location, eventually the specific location, and
- 26:56Speaker 15: then getting bursts of communication to understand that that weapon
- 27:01Speaker 15: system officer was okay, and then eventually arranging a situation
- 27:05Speaker 15: where it was optimal to go.
- 27:06Speaker 16: Pick him up.
- 27:07Speaker 4: You know, it makes you wonder. I mean, this guy
- 27:09Speaker 4: was I mean, probably a few years younger than us,
- 27:11Speaker 4: but he's a colonel. But he was an older guy
- 27:15Speaker 4: and seriously injured from what we understand. We don't have
- 27:18Speaker 4: any details on the actual injuries, but I can't even
- 27:22Speaker 4: imagine what it took for this guy to travel. I
- 27:24Speaker 4: don't we had heard maybe five miles or so. I
- 27:27Speaker 4: don't know how long of an instance he had to
- 27:30Speaker 4: travel to get to safety. It's just remarkable.
- 27:33Speaker 15: The Chairman talked about in the press conference yesterday about
- 27:38Speaker 15: how his will to survive and evade got him through
- 27:43Speaker 15: some really tough times. And you know, as an aircrew member,
- 27:46Speaker 15: one of the things that's going through your mind in
- 27:48Speaker 15: that situation is, hey, it's rough right now, and I
- 27:52Speaker 15: am injured, and I am tired, and I am scared,
- 27:55Speaker 15: but it's a lot better than being captured.
- 27:57Speaker 14: By the IRA audience.
- 27:59Speaker 15: And so I know that drive to survive and evade
- 28:01Speaker 15: and come back with honor was in the forefront of
- 28:04Speaker 15: his mind and that drove him up steat cliffs and
- 28:08Speaker 15: miles of hiking and in tough conditions and then eventually
- 28:12Speaker 15: being ready to be picked up.
- 28:14Speaker 4: I know you had you have served under multiple presidents,
- 28:17Speaker 4: including Democrats. What are you hearing as can you compare
- 28:21Speaker 4: what it was like serving under Republicans as opposed to Democrats?
- 28:25Speaker 4: Is there a difference, at least you know, on the
- 28:28Speaker 4: base level.
- 28:29Speaker 15: I don't think at the base level there is, other
- 28:32Speaker 15: than the important fact that we have seen recruiting numbers skyrocket.
- 28:36Speaker 15: I actually think after this weekend they're going to go
- 28:38Speaker 15: through the roof because people want to be part of
- 28:40Speaker 15: an organization that is as capable and committed as the
- 28:44Speaker 15: US military. But really, what you focus on at the
- 28:47Speaker 15: base level is you know that you are trained and
- 28:51Speaker 15: you are prepared to execute the mission. You trust the
- 28:54Speaker 15: people around you to do the same, And really it's
- 28:56Speaker 15: that bond of comradeeship within the unit. As youccomplished the
- 29:00Speaker 15: mission and your commitment to one another. That is your
- 29:03Speaker 15: focus whatever happens in Washington, DC.
- 29:06Speaker 4: I know you talked about this on the TV show.
- 29:08Speaker 4: We had you on our NEWSBAC show last night, and
- 29:10Speaker 4: you've got to be super proud as a dad. Also,
- 29:13Speaker 4: because I understand your daughter is in the Air Force.
- 29:17Speaker 15: Is she's a brand new second lieutenant. She commissioned out
- 29:20Speaker 15: of Baylor University in Rotc and nine days ago Todd
- 29:25Speaker 15: I dropped her off at pilot training. But here's something
- 29:28Speaker 15: that's important for your listeners to understand that even on Friday,
- 29:31Speaker 15: when we didn't know the disposition of the pilot or
- 29:34Speaker 15: the Wizzo, I never had thoughts of concern for the
- 29:37Speaker 15: future of my daughter because I knew she would be
- 29:39Speaker 15: well trained, well prepared, well exercised, well equipped. Everyone around
- 29:45Speaker 15: her would be the same, and she would be committed
- 29:48Speaker 15: to their well being and they would be committed to her,
- 29:51Speaker 15: and even on her worst day, if she had to
- 29:53Speaker 15: punch out, they would come get her. And I'm not
- 29:56Speaker 15: saying that with the bravado of a fighter pilot. I'm
- 29:59Speaker 15: saying that with the humility as a dad. And It's
- 30:03Speaker 15: true that our force is amazing and I'm super proud
- 30:05Speaker 15: that she's a part of it.
- 30:06Speaker 4: All Right, eight o'clock tonight, we're looking at the clock
- 30:10Speaker 4: ticking away. How do you see all of this going?
- 30:14Speaker 4: Of course, clearly we're just sort of guessing here, But
- 30:18Speaker 4: how do you see this playing out tonight? You think
- 30:19Speaker 4: we're going to start seeing things blow up at eight
- 30:22Speaker 4: o'clock or eight oh one.
- 30:24Speaker 15: Todd First of all, we've got seven hours before that point.
- 30:27Speaker 15: And I think that the Iranians have to be considering
- 30:30Speaker 15: that President Trump's threats are credible, and I hope that
- 30:34Speaker 15: tips the scales of their strategic calculus said they start
- 30:38Speaker 15: negotiating in good faith and making a deal. But if not,
- 30:43Speaker 15: the president's threats are credible, and frankly, his credibility is
- 30:46Speaker 15: on the line, and unless there's a pathway to peace
- 30:50Speaker 15: that meets our interests, he almost has to start striking.
- 30:54Speaker 15: And like I said, I hope that it is striking
- 30:56Speaker 15: energy resources to strangle the finances of the regime and
- 31:01Speaker 15: striking targets that can facilitate the opportunity for regime change.
- 31:05Speaker 15: But I do think that starting shortly after eight o'clock,
- 31:08Speaker 15: it won't be a ground invasion. It will be a
- 31:10Speaker 15: strategic bombing campaign focused on those two areas.
- 31:13Speaker 4: All right, Before we let you go, General, we have
- 31:15Speaker 4: to end on a light note. And I don't know
- 31:16Speaker 4: if you had a chance to see the President's remarks
- 31:19Speaker 4: at the annual Easter egg the White House Easter Egg role,
- 31:23Speaker 4: but the image of President Trump talking about the war
- 31:26Speaker 4: in Iran while the Easter bunny is standing right alongside
- 31:30Speaker 4: of him. Only in America does that happen?
- 31:32Speaker 15: General, Yeah, Todd, I didn't see it, but I've seen
- 31:35Speaker 15: memes and pictures about it, and I almost can't reconcile
- 31:39Speaker 15: on my brain what is real and what is memorycks
- 31:41Speaker 15: in a situation like that.
- 31:43Speaker 4: Absolutely, all right, General, we know you're a busy man.
- 31:47Speaker 4: Everybody in America want you on their radio shows and
- 31:50Speaker 4: cable TV shows, and we appreciate that you make time
- 31:53Speaker 4: for us.
- 31:54Speaker 14: Todd, thanks for being my friend and keep leading well.
- 31:56Speaker 4: All right, the great General, everybody John Tiger, call him Dragon.
- 32:01Speaker 4: And by the way, he's written some great books as well.
- 32:04Speaker 4: A Tiger t E.
- 32:05Speaker 14: I C A G R. T.
- 32:07Speaker 4: Go online and you'll be able to get his books
- 32:10Speaker 4: at Amazon or wherever you buy your books. All right,
- 32:13Speaker 4: here's what we're going to do. We've got to take
- 32:15Speaker 4: a quick break. We're going right to the phones. So again,
- 32:19Speaker 4: if you want to get in on this conversation, give
- 32:21Speaker 4: us a call. Nine oh one two six zero five
- 32:24Speaker 4: nine two six. That number again, nine oh one two
- 32:27Speaker 4: six zero five nine two six. This is the Todd
- 32:29Speaker 4: Sterns Show. All right, welcome back everybody. Great to have
- 32:42Speaker 4: you with us. Hey, coming up a little bit later,
- 32:44Speaker 4: we're going to be talking to Bunny Pounds. She is
- 32:48Speaker 4: the founder and president of Christians Engaged, and she is
- 32:51Speaker 4: behind an incredible thing that's happening in Washington, America. Reads
- 32:55Speaker 4: the Bible starting gosh, this is April eighteenth. We are
- 32:59Speaker 4: going to be stream I mean nationwide as people read
- 33:03Speaker 4: through verbally God's word. That's going to be pretty awesome.
- 33:07Speaker 4: And we're gonna be talking to Bunny Pounds about that. Also.
- 33:10Speaker 4: Josh Jones joining us in the next hour to talk politics.
- 33:14Speaker 4: We're right now to the phone lines. We go. Boyd
- 33:17Speaker 4: in Newport, North Carolina. Him, Boyd, what's on your mind today?
- 33:22Speaker 7: Hey, Todd. First of all, I just want to say God,
- 33:24Speaker 7: bless you for standing up and thank you. I want
- 33:28Speaker 7: to say that I'm born again Christian and I'm not perfect.
- 33:32Speaker 7: We're not perfect, and it really hurts me that Paddock
- 33:36Speaker 7: Jones and Margaret Taylor Green and all the others are
- 33:43Speaker 7: willing to get rid of President Trump just because of
- 33:46Speaker 7: something he said. I mean, we're not having us so
- 33:48Speaker 7: perfect and if we're all forgiving, and I think we
- 33:52Speaker 7: all ought to be on our knees praying for him
- 33:54Speaker 7: rather than stabbing him in the back.
- 33:57Speaker 4: You know, boyd, what do you say about you know?
- 34:00Speaker 4: And again, the president has never really changed his position.
- 34:03Speaker 4: We had a guy, his name is Digital Valdosta, and
- 34:06Speaker 4: he wrote in on our YouTube live stream in our chat,
- 34:10Speaker 4: he says, I stand with Trump. He hasn't changed with
- 34:14Speaker 4: the changing tides like your typical politician. We can look
- 34:17Speaker 4: at statements he's made years before even considering running and
- 34:21Speaker 4: he's still the same guy. A BOYD, I think that's true.
- 34:24Speaker 7: Yeah, I do too, And of course I don't go
- 34:27Speaker 7: along with everything he says, but we have to have
- 34:30Speaker 7: forgiveness in their hearts too. And another thing that I
- 34:35Speaker 7: wanted to say too, about what Tecker Carlson said about
- 34:38Speaker 7: President Trump not being a Christian because he didn't put
- 34:40Speaker 7: his hand on the Bible. My wife and I was
- 34:43Speaker 7: watching the inauguration. I said something. Then they didn't give
- 34:47Speaker 7: him a chance or didn't give Milania a chance to
- 34:50Speaker 7: get over to him to hold the Bible for him
- 34:52Speaker 7: to put his hand on.
- 34:53Speaker 4: They rushed him well, fair enough, But even then, that
- 34:59Speaker 4: is not some sort of a legal requirement. And I
- 35:02Speaker 4: think to your point, it certainly appeared, and I know
- 35:06Speaker 4: what you're talking about, but he did place his hand
- 35:10Speaker 4: on the Bible for the twenty seventeen inauguration. So that
- 35:14Speaker 4: concerns me, Boyd, when you have those kinds of accusations
- 35:20Speaker 4: being thrown about, and that tells me that Tucker and
- 35:22Speaker 4: the others are just not being fair arbiters of all
- 35:25Speaker 4: of this.
- 35:26Speaker 7: You know, they got to realize they're in a perfect tea.
- 35:28Speaker 4: No, that's true. We are all centers saved by grace,
- 35:33Speaker 4: that's for sure.
- 35:33Speaker 7: And we didn't elect a pastor to run the country.
- 35:37Speaker 7: We elected a prison to rent run the country. Yeah,
- 35:41Speaker 7: and that's what they need to remember.
- 35:43Speaker 4: Yeah, one thousand percent. Right, all right, Boyd, thank you
- 35:46Speaker 4: for holding on and God bless you, sir, thank you
- 35:48Speaker 4: for those kind words. Let's go to We'll go to
- 35:54Speaker 4: Mark at the Village's America's friendliest home town Mark. What's
- 35:59Speaker 4: what's on your mind?
- 36:00Speaker 17: Hey, Todd?
- 36:01Speaker 12: How are you?
- 36:02Speaker 17: Have you been watching the Fox News, the Breaking news
- 36:05Speaker 17: where they're in there forming the change?
- 36:07Speaker 4: Now, well, we've been busy doing a radio show, my friend,
- 36:10Speaker 4: but we had been. We did report on that a
- 36:13Speaker 4: little while ago. We were getting General Tankerd to weigh.
- 36:16Speaker 16: In on it.
- 36:17Speaker 17: Yeah, so now, what is there a way to take
- 36:19Speaker 17: those power plants out without killing them? So those people
- 36:25Speaker 17: are afraid for their own line.
- 36:26Speaker 4: So look, one of the things I did question about
- 36:30Speaker 4: the president, and I stand with him. I just question
- 36:33Speaker 4: announcing you've got until eight o'clock because that tells me,
- 36:37Speaker 4: if I'm a Ranian, Trump's a man of his word.
- 36:39Speaker 4: So we're going to do whatever is necessary between now
- 36:42Speaker 4: and eight o'clock Tuesday to thwart his plans, you know,
- 36:46Speaker 4: the agenda. So yeah, I don't know how they're going
- 36:49Speaker 4: to get around that, but I'm fairly certain Donald Trump
- 36:51Speaker 4: is not going to be blowing up children on bridges.
- 36:55Speaker 17: And I agree with you. And that was a question too.
- 36:57Speaker 17: Why did he have to tell everybody eight o'clock. I
- 37:00Speaker 17: wouldn't have said any time at all. I would have
- 37:02Speaker 17: just done it. And now they've got them forming around there,
- 37:05Speaker 17: and now the thing is how are we going to
- 37:07Speaker 17: do it? And I don't think he's going to either,
- 37:09Speaker 17: But there's got to be a way to take those
- 37:11Speaker 17: plants out without harming them. I don't know. Yeah, unless
- 37:14Speaker 17: you put ground troops in there to go at him
- 37:16Speaker 17: and take them out of there so that they don't
- 37:17Speaker 17: get harmed.
- 37:18Speaker 12: I don't know.
- 37:18Speaker 4: Well, we had General Tigert on it, and this guy's
- 37:21Speaker 4: smart as a whip when it comes to a strategy,
- 37:23Speaker 4: and he believes eight oh one, we're going to start
- 37:25Speaker 4: We're going to start having bombs falling from the skies,
- 37:29Speaker 4: and I think that's what's going to happen. Mark, I've
- 37:32Speaker 4: got to run, my friend. But it is a disturbing development.
- 37:36Speaker 4: All right, everybody on hold, don't go anywhere you are
- 37:39Speaker 4: up on deck, but we do have to take a
- 37:42Speaker 4: quick break, and if you want to get on the air, well,
- 37:45Speaker 4: we've got a couple of lines open nine oh one
- 37:48Speaker 4: two six zero five nine two six. We've got Bill
- 37:52Speaker 4: and Memphis, Charles in North Carolina, Mark and Tennessee. Hang tight, guys.
- 37:58Speaker 4: This is the Todd Starringe Radio Show, Live.
- 38:18Speaker 1: From the Liberty University studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's common
- 38:22Speaker 1: sense conservative commentary from Todd stars Amarican.
- 38:34Speaker 4: All right, well this is sort of exciting, you know, Dylan.
- 38:37Speaker 4: We're making a lot of changes, a lot of upgrades
- 38:41Speaker 4: and what we're doing here on the radio show. And
- 38:44Speaker 4: one of the things that we've been focusing on is
- 38:46Speaker 4: the digital side. You know a lot of people say,
- 38:48Speaker 4: we will want to see what you guys look like,
- 38:51Speaker 4: and we are so so we have we are upgrading
- 38:54Speaker 4: our video capability and we've we've got some new staff
- 38:58Speaker 4: on board. They're doing that. And one of the things,
- 39:01Speaker 4: Dylan has been fun to watch the audience grow on
- 39:04Speaker 4: our YouTube channel and we actually hang out with folks
- 39:07Speaker 4: like in between the commercial breaks and do a little
- 39:10Speaker 4: bit of a chatting back and forth.
- 39:12Speaker 16: It is fun. It's always fun to uh, to do
- 39:15Speaker 16: new things. And more people want to see your face, Todd.
- 39:17Speaker 16: So you know that's just proof since there are more people.
- 39:21Speaker 4: Oh oh, I forgot to tell you. I mean, this
- 39:23Speaker 4: is the breaking news. So I heard back from you know,
- 39:26Speaker 4: we they send us the sample via the lip bomb
- 39:29Speaker 4: people and I call them chapstick, but it's really lip
- 39:33Speaker 4: Bom and it sounds more official and more like gen
- 39:38Speaker 4: Z I suppose. So anyway, they said, you know, we've
- 39:41Speaker 4: noticed your lips and you know, we'd like to send
- 39:45Speaker 4: you some of our product. Would you be an influencer
- 39:47Speaker 4: for us? And I'm like, jeez, a Lou, I've never
- 39:51Speaker 4: been an influencer for lip Bomb. And I mean I
- 39:54Speaker 4: know that my lips are you know, they're they're luscious.
- 39:58Speaker 4: I mean, what can I say. That's one of the
- 40:01Speaker 4: reasons why, you know, when in my delivery on the radio,
- 40:03Speaker 4: people are always saying you have just a it's a
- 40:06Speaker 4: you have a full figured voice, you know, it's well rounded. Yeah,
- 40:11Speaker 4: and I think it's because of the lips.
- 40:13Speaker 16: Yeah.
- 40:14Speaker 4: So anyway, they they said, we love your lips and
- 40:17Speaker 4: we would love for you to be one of our influencers.
- 40:19Speaker 4: Would you consider And so they sent us the lip
- 40:22Speaker 4: Bomb and we all we all tried it, right, I mean,
- 40:25Speaker 4: it was really good stuff except for Helen.
- 40:28Speaker 16: Yeah, Helen did not get to try it a few
- 40:32Speaker 16: but but hold on.
- 40:33Speaker 4: It was tingly, but hold on. You were being very
- 40:36Speaker 4: generous because what you did you took out your handkerchief
- 40:38Speaker 4: and you wiped off the top of the lip Bomb
- 40:40Speaker 4: and you said, Helen, here now you can try and
- 40:42Speaker 4: she still don't want.
- 40:43Speaker 16: To chop off the edge where I put it with
- 40:45Speaker 16: a knife and she said no, she said no, So
- 40:49Speaker 16: it's actually on her. It's her fault.
- 40:51Speaker 4: It tasted like it's what spearmen and coconut oils. It's
- 40:54Speaker 4: really clever. Really, So anyway, I said, they said, what
- 40:57Speaker 4: did you think? I said, I loved it. It's great.
- 40:59Speaker 4: They go, will you be our influencer?
- 41:03Speaker 16: You're a star.
- 41:03Speaker 4: Now we have to ask people, should Todd Sterns actually become,
- 41:08Speaker 4: you know, a spokes dude for a lip bomb company.
- 41:12Speaker 16: You don't see a lot of it, so why not?
- 41:14Speaker 4: You can Todd Stearns here America if you want manly,
- 41:18Speaker 4: luscious lips. I could do it. I think I think that.
- 41:23Speaker 4: So we're gonna do it. We're going to do it.
- 41:25Speaker 4: They're sitting me. Get this a full year supply of
- 41:28Speaker 4: the lip I get a commission on whatever we sell.
- 41:33Speaker 16: That's that's pretty cool. So it's weird, but it's cool.
- 41:37Speaker 4: It's completely weird. I'm just saying. So all that to say,
- 41:41Speaker 4: head over to YouTube and you can check out my
- 41:43Speaker 4: lips and uh have a conversation. So there you go.
- 41:48Speaker 4: Todd Stearns is the name of the YouTube channel, and
- 41:51Speaker 4: you'll see our show live there also. By the way,
- 41:55Speaker 4: want to encourage you. We're going right to the phone,
- 41:58Speaker 4: so hang tight, everybody. But I do want to remind
- 42:00Speaker 4: you that you need to pre order my brand new book.
- 42:03Speaker 4: It's going to be in bookstores May twenty ninth. It's
- 42:06Speaker 4: called The Golden Age. How Trump Saved America. And this
- 42:11Speaker 4: is you know, I've written a lot of books. This
- 42:13Speaker 4: is book number nine for me, and this is an
- 42:16Speaker 4: important book. It's about three hundred a little over three
- 42:19Speaker 4: hundred pages, and it takes us through what we've experienced
- 42:24Speaker 4: as a country, and we we sort of pivot and
- 42:27Speaker 4: take a look at where I believe we are going
- 42:30Speaker 4: and what we can do to maintain that idea of
- 42:35Speaker 4: being a shining city on a hill, of being a
- 42:38Speaker 4: country that lives perpetually in a golden age. How do
- 42:42Speaker 4: we make that happen? And so I explore a lot
- 42:45Speaker 4: of those themes in the book, and we have a
- 42:47Speaker 4: lot of fun and I want you to I want
- 42:50Speaker 4: you to read it. I want you to get a
- 42:52Speaker 4: copy of this buy one for a friend, if you
- 42:55Speaker 4: have a college student or a high school student, I
- 42:57Speaker 4: want you to get a copy of this book, and
- 42:59Speaker 4: you can do that at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, wherever
- 43:02Speaker 4: you get your books. Let me just say this, if
- 43:05Speaker 4: you have an independent bookstore in your town, in your community,
- 43:08Speaker 4: why don't you go do some business with those folks.
- 43:11Speaker 4: That's a hard business and it really is a blessing
- 43:14Speaker 4: to have a locally owned bookstore in town. So you
- 43:17Speaker 4: be sure to do that all right? Again, the big
- 43:20Speaker 4: story eight o'clock tonight, President Trump says a civilization will
- 43:25Speaker 4: be wiped out. We will see what happens between now
- 43:28Speaker 4: and then. The Iranians have cut off all all correspondents
- 43:32Speaker 4: and conversation with the United States and negotiators. So are
- 43:36Speaker 4: we locked in? Who knows? We shall wait and see.
- 43:39Speaker 4: But right now I do want to go to the phones.
- 43:41Speaker 4: A lot of folks wanting to weigh in. First, Let's
- 43:44Speaker 4: go to Charles in North Carolina listening to us on WSIC. Charles,
- 43:49Speaker 4: good to have you with us today. What's on your mind?
- 43:53Speaker 18: Hey?
- 43:53Speaker 12: John?
- 43:54Speaker 19: So?
- 43:55Speaker 20: I wish the President would have used a better choice
- 43:57Speaker 20: of words than saying you're gonna wipe out of civilizer
- 44:00Speaker 20: is never going to come back. But you mentioned at
- 44:03Speaker 20: the outset of your of your program today just about
- 44:08Speaker 20: the divide kind of the MAGA with Steve Bennon and
- 44:11Speaker 20: Marjorie Taylor Green and Alex Jones. And I don't listen
- 44:14Speaker 20: to Alex Jones or anything, but you know, I do
- 44:18Speaker 20: listen to Steve Bennon and Tucker Carlson and I have
- 44:21Speaker 20: for years. And I think what the angst is Todd
- 44:24Speaker 20: in the MAGA movement is that Trump is going to
- 44:29Speaker 20: lose sight of the real reason that people elected him,
- 44:33Speaker 20: which was to not only keep us out of foreign wars,
- 44:36Speaker 20: but it was to drain the swamp, kick out illegals,
- 44:40Speaker 20: secure our elections, and hold those people accountable that tried
- 44:45Speaker 20: to throw him and people like me in jail. And
- 44:51Speaker 20: you know, over throughout history, presidents start out with an
- 44:55Speaker 20: agenda and then they get pulled away into foreign policy
- 45:00Speaker 20: lack war. And I think that's what people are really
- 45:03Speaker 20: concerned about and worried about. When I turn on Fox
- 45:09Speaker 20: News now Tied, all we talk about is this war.
- 45:12Speaker 20: And this is the same network that before Trump was
- 45:16Speaker 20: re elected in twenty twenty four, they wouldn't even have
- 45:19Speaker 20: him on the show. They totally disassociated themselves with him. Back,
- 45:24Speaker 20: you know, after January sixth, when people like Marjorie Taylor
- 45:28Speaker 20: Green at Tuck Across and standing with him, and you
- 45:31Speaker 20: look who they profile ours the Lindsey Grahams, that's all
- 45:35Speaker 20: the neo cons. And so people like me are just
- 45:39Speaker 20: really concerned that Trump is going to lose sight of
- 45:43Speaker 20: the domestic agenda where you know, we see prices inflation again,
- 45:47Speaker 20: perpetual involvement, and that nothing is going to get accomplished.
- 45:52Speaker 20: That we elected him to do the deportations, you know,
- 45:57Speaker 20: the radicalization and indoctrination of our you the you know,
- 46:03Speaker 20: studying government spending. I mean, the budget deficit for the
- 46:06Speaker 20: first six months of this year twenty twenty six, guy,
- 46:09Speaker 20: was one point three trillion. I mean, that is insane.
- 46:13Speaker 20: And it's just like people have stopped talking about domestic issues.
- 46:16Speaker 20: And it's just like with this war in Iran, it's
- 46:18Speaker 20: like talking about a football game that people are just
- 46:21Speaker 20: getting all, you know, sitting around the TV and their
- 46:23Speaker 20: popcorn and getting ready to get getting ready to watch Charles.
- 46:26Speaker 4: Here's how I well, and I do have my popcorn,
- 46:29Speaker 4: and I do have a six pack of Doctor Pepper,
- 46:31Speaker 4: and I am going to be watching tonight. But and
- 46:34Speaker 4: I don't mean to minimize what is about to happen,
- 46:37Speaker 4: but I think we need to understand the context here,
- 46:41Speaker 4: that that President Trump had access to whatever intel, intel
- 46:46Speaker 4: that you and I have not seen yet. And it's
- 46:49Speaker 4: sort of like, if a tornado is about to bear
- 46:52Speaker 4: down on your community, you're going to stop what you're
- 46:55Speaker 4: doing and you're going to take whatever actions are necessary
- 46:59Speaker 4: to safeguard your family. And that may be putting everybody
- 47:02Speaker 4: in a shelter or in the bathtub, or under a
- 47:04Speaker 4: mattress or whatever. And that's what I see Trump doing here.
- 47:07Speaker 4: I think that he is a guy, and I know
- 47:09Speaker 4: that he is a guy because I've seen it firsthand.
- 47:11Speaker 4: He's a guy that can multitask. I think he's not
- 47:14Speaker 4: losing sight of anything here. But I do think that
- 47:18Speaker 4: he saw Iran as a clear and present danger to
- 47:21Speaker 4: the United States of America. And let me say this, Charles.
- 47:24Speaker 4: There's new video footage coming out of Iranian officials. This
- 47:29Speaker 4: was from back in January warning parents that their children
- 47:33Speaker 4: would be shot dead if they were caught protesting the
- 47:36Speaker 4: Iranian regime. Now you have now you have civilians that
- 47:42Speaker 4: have been sent out to form a human chain to
- 47:44Speaker 4: protect a power plant. You've got children that are being
- 47:47Speaker 4: forced to stand on bridges, and these mega influencers, Charles
- 47:52Speaker 4: are telling us that those are the rational people and
- 47:56Speaker 4: Donald Trump is being irrational. And I just don't that one.
- 48:00Speaker 20: Bet Well, the Iranians, I mean, Todd, you and I
- 48:06Speaker 20: have both seen, you know, since nineteen seventy nine, how
- 48:09Speaker 20: they behaved and the rhetoric that's come out of to
- 48:13Speaker 20: Ron and and and the action is like the you know,
- 48:15Speaker 20: the blowing up of those the marine barracks and Beyrouth
- 48:18Speaker 20: Levin and in nineteen eighty three, and they're certainly, you know,
- 48:23Speaker 20: there were certain there's certainly a problem that being said.
- 48:31Speaker 4: Here's the thing, Mark, No, Charles, here's the thing. And
- 48:34Speaker 4: I greatly respect you and you come every time you
- 48:37Speaker 4: call into the show. We have a great conversation and
- 48:39Speaker 4: you bring you bring a lot of knowledge to the show.
- 48:42Speaker 4: And I appreciate that you and I are going to
- 48:43Speaker 4: disagree on this issue. But here's I think the conversation
- 48:47Speaker 4: you and I are having. It's too soon. Let's and
- 48:51Speaker 4: because my caveat has always been this has got to happen,
- 48:54Speaker 4: and it's got to happen quickly. We cannot have a
- 48:57Speaker 4: prolonged conflict. We cannot have boots on the around in Iran.
- 49:01Speaker 4: And if that happens, we're we are all going to
- 49:03Speaker 4: be in a world of hurt. But we're not there yet.
- 49:06Speaker 4: And Trump hasn't said anything about putting boots on the ground.
- 49:09Speaker 4: I think he's leaving all of the options open. But
- 49:12Speaker 4: I think where we are at right now, Charles, let's
- 49:15Speaker 4: see what happens. And Donald Trump is playing a psychological
- 49:19Speaker 4: game with the not only the Iranians, but I think
- 49:21Speaker 4: the entire world right now. And I think we need
- 49:24Speaker 4: to give this guy a little bit of leeway here.
- 49:29Speaker 20: Well, and and Tod, I hope this is over quick.
- 49:32Speaker 20: But what I am saying is that given our track
- 49:35Speaker 20: record in involvements in foreign.
- 49:37Speaker 4: Wars like a rack, oh, it's been terrible.
- 49:40Speaker 20: What starts at and what we think is going to
- 49:42Speaker 20: be a short quick victory can last decades or years
- 49:46Speaker 20: and it tears this country apart and then a lot
- 49:49Speaker 20: of and in other cases we find out that the
- 49:53Speaker 20: justification for even going to war was all based on
- 49:56Speaker 20: a lie. And I'm not saying that Trump's line, I'm
- 49:58Speaker 20: not saying, but I'm I'm just I'm just concerned just
- 50:02Speaker 20: based on our track record and everything else.
- 50:06Speaker 4: I'll just tell you this, Charles, I think Iran should
- 50:08Speaker 4: have been a glass parking lot the day that they
- 50:11Speaker 4: bombed the Marine Corps barracks in Beirut, and that was
- 50:14Speaker 4: never done, and a lot of and honestly, I think
- 50:18Speaker 4: a lot of the blame for the violence and the
- 50:21Speaker 4: death and the destruction that Iran has caused over the decades,
- 50:24Speaker 4: we bear some of the blame because we refuse to
- 50:27Speaker 4: do anything about it. And Trump has been very consistent
- 50:32Speaker 4: on that one point, going all the way back to
- 50:34Speaker 4: the nineteen eighties. He believed that Iran should have been
- 50:37Speaker 4: dealt with. Charles, I've got to run. But let's see
- 50:41Speaker 4: how this plays out. You keep giving us a call.
- 50:44Speaker 4: And again, folks, you're not going to agree with everything
- 50:48Speaker 4: I say. And that's perfectly okay. All right, We've got
- 50:51Speaker 4: Mark in Collierville, Bill in Memphis. Hangti, guys, lines open
- 50:55Speaker 4: nine oh one two six zero five to nine two six.
- 50:58Speaker 4: This is the Ton Sterns Show.
- 51:10Speaker 16: Hey, German Shepherd here.
- 51:12Speaker 21: I'm just thankful that Donald Trump is not ruling and
- 51:17Speaker 21: leading this country in a direction based on poles or
- 51:23Speaker 21: the mid terms I'm glad that he's doing what's right
- 51:27Speaker 21: for the country in spite of the midterms, and I'm
- 51:31Speaker 21: just thankful for him, and I'm thankful for your show.
- 51:34Speaker 21: Can't wait for your book to come out.
- 51:35Speaker 4: Well, thank you a German Shepherd, our good friend. Listening
- 51:38Speaker 4: to us from Finley, Ohio. Guess who's from Finley, Ohio?
- 51:41Speaker 16: Dylan, who's that?
- 51:43Speaker 4: Caleb Park?
- 51:44Speaker 7: Wow?
- 51:44Speaker 4: Yeah? And Ben Roethlisberger.
- 51:47Speaker 16: That's a fun fact right there.
- 51:49Speaker 4: And also Marathon Oil. I only know this because Caleb
- 51:51Speaker 4: cans every time. Every time he's like, this is what
- 51:55Speaker 4: Finley is.
- 51:56Speaker 16: That's trivia right there.
- 51:58Speaker 4: You go, all right, let's go to our phones, as promised.
- 52:02Speaker 4: A very important day in America and not only the world.
- 52:05Speaker 4: And I know a lot of people are just really
- 52:08Speaker 4: conflicted about what is about to happen. I want to
- 52:10Speaker 4: go to Mark and call your Ville, Tennessee. Listening to
- 52:13Speaker 4: us on KWHAM and Mark, I understand your your retired
- 52:17Speaker 4: Air Force what's on your mind.
- 52:21Speaker 12: I was around during the Go War, I was doing
- 52:23Speaker 12: some things, and my concern is, of course, uh that
- 52:31Speaker 12: the attack on carg Island, if that's deemed where we
- 52:35Speaker 12: need to go next, you know, We've seen this during
- 52:40Speaker 12: the Iraqi conflict, where they sabotage their own oil wells
- 52:46Speaker 12: to prevent uh, you know, to prevent takeover. And I
- 52:50Speaker 12: would I guarantee it, mark my words, that if we
- 52:54Speaker 12: go on to Carg Island, if it you know, if
- 52:57Speaker 12: it happens tonight or whenever. I'm sure Intel services have
- 53:01Speaker 12: been looking at, you know, the what's been going on
- 53:04Speaker 12: there as far as their own self defenses, the Iranian
- 53:08Speaker 12: self defenses on Carg Island. But mark my words, and
- 53:12Speaker 12: I hope the seals and the rangers and all those.
- 53:16Speaker 7: Tip of the.
- 53:17Speaker 12: Spear type of groups that are going to be leading
- 53:20Speaker 12: this attack, I sure pray for their safety because I
- 53:24Speaker 12: guarantee Iran is going to sabotage their own if they
- 53:28Speaker 12: if they see it going everything going south, which of
- 53:32Speaker 12: course it is, I guarantee you they're going to sabotage
- 53:36Speaker 12: some of their own stuff to try and prevent us
- 53:40Speaker 12: the rest of the world from from defeating them.
- 53:43Speaker 4: I would not put that past them at all. Mark,
- 53:47Speaker 4: I will say this, you know, I've always had one
- 53:51Speaker 4: thousand percent confidence in our US military, but after what
- 53:55Speaker 4: I just saw hampen over the weekend, I think it's
- 53:58Speaker 4: like two thousand percent support. I think our military they're
- 54:01Speaker 4: on top of things and they know what the Iranians
- 54:04Speaker 4: are going to do before the Iranians do.
- 54:08Speaker 12: Yeah, I hope you're right. And like I said, I'm
- 54:12Speaker 12: just praying for our tip of this fear of forces
- 54:15Speaker 12: because they're the ones that get us a foothold everywhere
- 54:19Speaker 12: we go.
- 54:20Speaker 4: Well, said Mark, May I just brag on the great
- 54:23Speaker 4: VFW post you guys have out there in Callierville, Tennessee.
- 54:26Speaker 4: There's some fine, fine people that I've got to meet
- 54:29Speaker 4: that are a part of that great group.
- 54:31Speaker 12: Yeah, well, I look forward to meeting you. Oh and
- 54:33Speaker 12: there's one other thing I meant to tell you, and
- 54:35Speaker 12: you may have heard this in the past, that you
- 54:37Speaker 12: have a face for radio.
- 54:38Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 54:41Speaker 4: My makeup art is this Mark. You're going to love this.
- 54:43Speaker 4: We have a makeup artist that comes in and makes
- 54:45Speaker 4: me look presentable for TV. She says, it's like putting
- 54:49Speaker 4: paint on a barn. So well, thank you for the compliment.
- 54:56Speaker 12: You're welcome. I enjoy your show.
- 54:57Speaker 4: Well, thanks Mark, and God bless you. Thank you for
- 55:00Speaker 4: serving our great nation. We really appreciate you, sir. All right,
- 55:03Speaker 4: let's go to Eric in Gainesville, Georgia. Hi, Eric, what's
- 55:08Speaker 4: on your mind today?
- 55:10Speaker 11: Hey Todd, how you doing today?
- 55:13Speaker 4: For asking?
- 55:14Speaker 19: Uh?
- 55:15Speaker 11: First, first, I want to say this right here just
- 55:17Speaker 11: has don't have anything to do with the see I
- 55:20Speaker 11: ram bombing. But think the thing. I don't like that
- 55:25Speaker 11: people just assume because that I'm Black, that I don't
- 55:30Speaker 11: like Trump. And when people talk to me that they
- 55:35Speaker 11: they talk about Trump as though I don't that because
- 55:38Speaker 11: I'm Black, that I'm not gonna like trub I actually
- 55:41Speaker 11: love Trump. I think he's doing a doing a great job.
- 55:45Speaker 11: But people need to think realize Trump is he's smart.
- 55:52Speaker 11: He's smart, and all these people talking about how he's
- 55:56Speaker 11: people in. I ran to put in these civilians at
- 56:00Speaker 11: the power plants and on the bridge. Maybe that's a ployed.
- 56:04Speaker 11: Trump may may have new they was gonna do that.
- 56:09Speaker 11: Maybe that's a ploy to get all the civilians on
- 56:12Speaker 11: the bridge. He can actually bomb somewhere up.
- 56:15Speaker 4: You never know, Mark or Eric. Rather, you're right, you
- 56:19Speaker 4: never know when it comes to President Trump. And let
- 56:21Speaker 4: me say this, You're not alone, Eric, we have I
- 56:24Speaker 4: think we have one of the largest black audiences in
- 56:26Speaker 4: all of talk radio. Of course, my show is based
- 56:29Speaker 4: out of Memphis, Tennessee. So we are proud to have
- 56:33Speaker 4: many conservatives of all different colors, sizes, and persuasions listening
- 56:38Speaker 4: to this radio program. God bless you, sir. Got to
- 56:40Speaker 4: take a break, folks, Hang tight, We'll be right back. Dylan.
- 56:52Speaker 4: I've been having a problem and getting up in the morning.
- 56:55Speaker 4: I've I've been doing a lot of the book addits,
- 56:57Speaker 4: the final edits, and I'm a procrastinator, so I'm getting
- 57:00Speaker 4: into bed like two or three o'clock in the morning.
- 57:02Speaker 4: And so then when the alarm goes off at five o'clock, well,
- 57:05Speaker 4: you know, I have it on the iPhone, and so
- 57:08Speaker 4: then I reset it for six o'clock, and then I
- 57:11Speaker 4: reset it for seven o'clock. So it's like a perpetual thing,
- 57:15Speaker 4: and I really need to be like at five o'clock
- 57:17Speaker 4: in the morning. So Wyatt Cocks over the Nevada Talk
- 57:20Speaker 4: Network just sent me something and I had actually seen
- 57:22Speaker 4: a video on this and I thought it was fake.
- 57:25Speaker 4: But apparently there is a new alarm clock out there.
- 57:29Speaker 4: It's called wake Strike. Have you heard of this?
- 57:33Speaker 16: I have not. That sounds aggressive.
- 57:35Speaker 4: So it's like your regular alarm clock, but like when
- 57:38Speaker 4: the when the like you're waking ab at five o'clock
- 57:42Speaker 4: and the alarm starts to go off. It is like wait, wait,
- 57:46Speaker 4: and then from the top of the alarm clock rises
- 57:50Speaker 4: up and it's a target and you actually have a
- 57:53Speaker 4: gun by your bedside with a laser and you've got
- 57:57Speaker 4: to shoot. You've got to shoot the target to turn
- 58:00Speaker 4: off the alarm clock.
- 58:03Speaker 16: Wow. So your eyes have to be open enough to
- 58:06Speaker 16: shoot the target.
- 58:07Speaker 4: Probably I have double vision. Take out a coffee shop
- 58:12Speaker 4: or something. It's terrible.
- 58:13Speaker 16: That's actually pretty creative.
- 58:15Speaker 4: Ir Yeah. It's kind of like it's a one customized
- 58:18Speaker 4: alarm clock. So if you want to, you can play
- 58:21Speaker 4: the national anthem at full volume, or it could be
- 58:23Speaker 4: like a drill sergeant, move your fantass starge.
- 58:29Speaker 16: Oh but regardless of what it is, you have to
- 58:34Speaker 16: shoot it to wake up.
- 58:35Speaker 4: You gotta shoot it. You gotta shoot it to turn
- 58:38Speaker 4: it off. I love this, all right, I know what
- 58:42Speaker 4: I want for Christmas. Yeah, all right, I'm writing this down.
- 58:45Speaker 4: I'm hard to buy for all right. Hang tight, if
- 58:48Speaker 4: you're on the hole, we're gonna get to your calls
- 58:50Speaker 4: in just a moment. But I do need to go
- 58:51Speaker 4: to the Patriot. What we'll use maker line and our
- 58:53Speaker 4: good buddy. We now call him the best political strategist
- 58:57Speaker 4: in America. Josh Jones, Josh, good to see you.
- 59:01Speaker 19: Good to see you. That's a bull claim. I appreciate it.
- 59:04Speaker 4: Yeah, no, take ownership, man, So do you have are
- 59:07Speaker 4: you a Do you have a problem getting up in
- 59:09Speaker 4: the morning as well? Are you a morning person or
- 59:11Speaker 4: a night night owl?
- 59:13Speaker 19: I'm a night owl. I'm in the same lane.
- 59:15Speaker 22: I set like five alarms back to back to make
- 59:18Speaker 22: sure I get up in the morning.
- 59:19Speaker 4: Oh man, it's brutal.
- 59:21Speaker 19: Yeah, I'm gonna take note of that for you that way.
- 59:23Speaker 22: I know, for Christmas or your birthday next whichever, whichever,
- 59:27Speaker 22: I'll get you that the gun lasers.
- 59:29Speaker 4: I love that. It's yeah, definitely. Let's talk politics, and
- 59:35Speaker 4: needless to say, there is a lot of politics going
- 59:37Speaker 4: on right now. A lot of Republicans very concerned about
- 59:41Speaker 4: this war. How long will it go on? What's going
- 59:44Speaker 4: to happen after eight o'clock Eastern tonight? What say you?
- 59:50Speaker 19: That's a good question.
- 59:51Speaker 22: I wish I had an answer for you in the
- 59:53Speaker 22: sense of what's going to happen after eight o'clock tonight?
- 59:56Speaker 19: I mean, if people have been following the news today.
- 59:58Speaker 22: I mean, you had earlier this morning a couple of
- 1:00:00Speaker 22: outlets recording is just the White House considering using a
- 1:00:03Speaker 22: nuclear weapon? And now the White House has denied that.
- 1:00:05Speaker 22: But have they said it exactly where they're going to
- 1:00:07Speaker 22: do it?
- 1:00:07Speaker 12: Eight?
- 1:00:08Speaker 22: No, So I mean your guess is as good as
- 1:00:10Speaker 22: mine in terms of what's going to happen at eight tonight.
- 1:00:13Speaker 19: I mean I'll be watching.
- 1:00:15Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we all will be. We've also been
- 1:00:17Speaker 4: watching what's happening in Virginia, where you know, a lot
- 1:00:21Speaker 4: of people were shocked that Republicans stayed home, they did
- 1:00:24Speaker 4: not get out and vote. Democrats pretty much swept everything,
- 1:00:29Speaker 4: and now it is so bad. I guess everybody has
- 1:00:31Speaker 4: buyer's remorse now, Josh, Yeah.
- 1:00:34Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 1:00:34Speaker 22: You had a poll come out yesterday or the day
- 1:00:36Speaker 22: before for Governor.
- 1:00:38Speaker 19: Spenberg where approval rating she's.
- 1:00:40Speaker 22: Only above water by one point, which is the most
- 1:00:43Speaker 22: unpopular governor we've had in the last twenty five years
- 1:00:46Speaker 22: at this point.
- 1:00:46Speaker 19: In their term.
- 1:00:48Speaker 22: Usually Virginia's governors, especially after her election in last November
- 1:00:51Speaker 22: where she won pretty handily, for her approval ratings to
- 1:00:55Speaker 22: have plummeted that much this short into her term, she'd
- 1:00:59Speaker 22: be a warning time for all the Democrats, and I
- 1:01:01Speaker 22: mean positive for the Republicans. And look, I think at
- 1:01:04Speaker 22: the end of the day, what it boils down to
- 1:01:07Speaker 22: is Virginia voters. They care about kitchen table issues, they
- 1:01:10Speaker 22: care about the cost of living, making sure their kids
- 1:01:12Speaker 22: have a good education. But what do you see coming
- 1:01:15Speaker 22: out of spamberger administration and all the Virginia Democrats. All
- 1:01:18Speaker 22: they're talking about is this shameless power grab of the
- 1:01:20Speaker 22: redistricting Amendment where they're trying to drop four Republican seats.
- 1:01:24Speaker 22: I think you have a lot of voters in Virginia going,
- 1:01:25Speaker 22: wait a second, I thought we were voting to lower
- 1:01:28Speaker 22: costs and focus on making my life more affordable, not
- 1:01:30Speaker 22: your political games.
- 1:01:32Speaker 4: It's that is that is a great point when you
- 1:01:36Speaker 4: and when you look at Spamberger. There's a story in
- 1:01:39Speaker 4: Breitbart that she has the lowest approval ratings of any
- 1:01:43Speaker 4: governor in the favorability numbers is what they're talking about.
- 1:01:48Speaker 4: She is the worst favorability numbers of any governor so
- 1:01:53Speaker 4: far in the twenty first century.
- 1:01:56Speaker 22: Yeah, I mean, it's a total What this also shows
- 1:02:00Speaker 22: that voters are paying attention, which is very important here
- 1:02:02Speaker 22: and an important note for Republicans to take into this
- 1:02:05Speaker 22: redistricting battle that's currently happening across Virginia as you can
- 1:02:09Speaker 22: point to the Spamber administration and the Democrats in Richmond
- 1:02:13Speaker 22: and saying, well, have they done since they've taken power
- 1:02:15Speaker 22: in the last three or four months beyond push a
- 1:02:18Speaker 22: liberal progressive agenda, what have they actually done to lower
- 1:02:21Speaker 22: the cost of living or make energy more affordable, or
- 1:02:24Speaker 22: you know, improve your kids education? And the answer is
- 1:02:26Speaker 22: they haven't done anything.
- 1:02:28Speaker 4: Josh Jones joining us on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line.
- 1:02:31Speaker 4: If you have a question for Josh, you can give
- 1:02:34Speaker 4: us a call, or you can go on our YouTube
- 1:02:36Speaker 4: stream and you can post your question there and we'll
- 1:02:39Speaker 4: be happy to ask that for you on your behalf.
- 1:02:45Speaker 4: You know, Josh. Fox News has some upolling data out
- 1:02:48Speaker 4: showing the Democrats are really in a world of heard.
- 1:02:52Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, their Fox is citing the
- 1:02:54Speaker 4: C and N pull and it's the latest to indicate
- 1:02:57Speaker 4: Democrats facing major problems with their party image. We rom
- 1:03:02Speaker 4: Emmanuel a couple of days ago was talking about that
- 1:03:05Speaker 4: they've lost, you know, they've lost the narrative here and
- 1:03:08Speaker 4: that Democrats have gone too far on a lot of
- 1:03:11Speaker 4: the issues, especially like you know, boys and girls, locker rooms,
- 1:03:14Speaker 4: and those all of those ninety ten issues out there.
- 1:03:19Speaker 19: I agree to, I think, and it's unfortunate for them.
- 1:03:22Speaker 22: But over the past ten to fifteen years, the Democratic
- 1:03:25Speaker 22: Party has just ran to the left and got and
- 1:03:27Speaker 22: lost and all of these culture issues that ninety percent
- 1:03:31Speaker 22: of the country don't agree with, and they've really lost
- 1:03:33Speaker 22: their brand. And I think you see that right now
- 1:03:35Speaker 22: because the Democrats don't really have a national leader. There's
- 1:03:37Speaker 22: no one necessarily the party saying this is our person,
- 1:03:41Speaker 22: this is going to be our person in twenty twenty eight,
- 1:03:42Speaker 22: or anything of that nature. Some people would say Hockey, Jefferies,
- 1:03:45Speaker 22: maybe Chuck Schumer, maybe Gata Newsom mount in California. But
- 1:03:48Speaker 22: I mean that they're all over the map right now,
- 1:03:50Speaker 22: and I think voters are paying attention to that.
- 1:03:52Speaker 4: This is shocking. Twenty eight percent of Americans questioned in
- 1:03:55Speaker 4: this poll, only twenty eight percent view the Democrat Party
- 1:03:59Speaker 4: in a positive way. Fifty six percent see the Democrats
- 1:04:03Speaker 4: in an unfavorable light, which ought to be great news
- 1:04:07Speaker 4: for the Republicans unless Republican voters stay home, which is
- 1:04:11Speaker 4: what they did in Virginia.
- 1:04:13Speaker 22: Yeah, and that's the real concern right now, because look,
- 1:04:16Speaker 22: Republicans are teed up for a good opportunity here this
- 1:04:19Speaker 22: November because of these unfavorability ratings of the Democratic Party.
- 1:04:23Speaker 22: But at the same time, if Republican politicians and people
- 1:04:26Speaker 22: out on the campaign trail can't get the voters to
- 1:04:29Speaker 22: come to the Republican voters that come to the polls,
- 1:04:31Speaker 22: then it doesn't matter because Democrats are going to have
- 1:04:33Speaker 22: a high turnout this November because this is a mid
- 1:04:36Speaker 22: term where Republicans are in charge, so naturally the party
- 1:04:39Speaker 22: out of power is going to have a higher turnout.
- 1:04:41Speaker 19: So you have to drive your voters through the polls.
- 1:04:43Speaker 4: Johsh I want to circle back to the big story
- 1:04:45Speaker 4: of the day, of course, this war in Iran. I
- 1:04:48Speaker 4: just you know, after what happened over the weekend, and
- 1:04:51Speaker 4: I know we had General John Tykert on earlier and
- 1:04:54Speaker 4: he said the same thing that there were going to
- 1:04:56Speaker 4: be a lot of young men going to military recruitings
- 1:05:00Speaker 4: to sign up. And I look at your generation and
- 1:05:04Speaker 4: I see young men watching that and thinking of themselves.
- 1:05:07Speaker 4: I want to be a part of that. And if this,
- 1:05:09Speaker 4: if the war continues with those kinds of stories coming
- 1:05:12Speaker 4: out of it. I think this is a big win
- 1:05:14Speaker 4: for the president. But if we get bogged down, Josh,
- 1:05:19Speaker 4: what does the midterm look like at that point.
- 1:05:24Speaker 22: It's hard to tell as of right now, because you
- 1:05:26Speaker 22: see a lot of people comparing this, and it's a
- 1:05:28Speaker 22: fair comparison, but you see a lot of people comparing
- 1:05:30Speaker 22: this conflict tour to Iraq, for example. I'm always saw
- 1:05:36Speaker 22: up there, and here's a little bit different because at
- 1:05:38Speaker 22: the time the US was an oil importer when we
- 1:05:42Speaker 22: were involved in Iraq in the Middle East, But now
- 1:05:45Speaker 22: America is an expert of export of oil. So yes,
- 1:05:48Speaker 22: energy prices are up, but we're not in the same situation.
- 1:05:51Speaker 22: We're back in the day, so that gives us a
- 1:05:53Speaker 22: chance to get out of this a lot sooner. We'll
- 1:05:56Speaker 22: see what the President and the Secretary of Ward do,
- 1:05:58Speaker 22: particularly at eight o'clock tonight. But to your point also
- 1:06:02Speaker 22: about recruiting numbers being up for the Pentagon and for
- 1:06:04Speaker 22: our armed forces, I think that's a reflection of the
- 1:06:07Speaker 22: commitment of Thissa administration to have the back of our
- 1:06:10Speaker 22: military and let our warriors five wars rather than you know,
- 1:06:15Speaker 22: bearing them in bureaucracy. And all this other you know things,
- 1:06:19Speaker 22: what we saw under the buying agenda.
- 1:06:22Speaker 4: I've got a question here, Greg B four nine oh
- 1:06:25Speaker 4: two writing, Come on, I'm trying to read the small
- 1:06:29Speaker 4: print here on the YouTube, but Greg has a question.
- 1:06:33Speaker 4: He wants to know, Josh, what is your view of
- 1:06:35Speaker 4: John Thune.
- 1:06:37Speaker 22: Look, I think what you see going on between the
- 1:06:40Speaker 22: House of Republicans and Senate Republicans is there is not
- 1:06:44Speaker 22: the use the same term, but.
- 1:06:45Speaker 19: The House divided.
- 1:06:46Speaker 22: You have the House Republicans under Speaker Johnson really pushing
- 1:06:51Speaker 22: some of these pieces of flagship legislation and the Senate
- 1:06:54Speaker 22: moving very slowly. You know that put it nicely on
- 1:06:58Speaker 22: some of those pieces of legislation. Look, I get that
- 1:07:00Speaker 22: the Senate was designed to be the most deliberative body
- 1:07:04Speaker 22: in our government and make sure actual good policy is
- 1:07:07Speaker 22: getting implemented.
- 1:07:08Speaker 19: But at the same time, you got a couple of
- 1:07:10Speaker 19: months before the midterms.
- 1:07:11Speaker 22: Hopefully Republicans keep our majorities and is not a big issue,
- 1:07:14Speaker 22: but if we lose the majority of the House or
- 1:07:16Speaker 22: the Senate, then the Trump agendas stalled in Congress, and
- 1:07:19Speaker 22: then Democrats, if they win in twenty twenty eight, will
- 1:07:22Speaker 22: just remove everything with a sign signing of a pen
- 1:07:25Speaker 22: So I think this should be a wake up call
- 1:07:27Speaker 22: to Senate Republicans in particular that you have to move
- 1:07:30Speaker 22: quickly over the next couple of months, otherwise.
- 1:07:33Speaker 19: It's not going to happen.
- 1:07:33Speaker 4: How do you feel about this statement? If they either
- 1:07:36Speaker 4: need to get on board or get out of the way.
- 1:07:38Speaker 4: But John Thune cannot stand in the way of the
- 1:07:42Speaker 4: president's agenda.
- 1:07:43Speaker 19: Agreed, Agreed. I mean he has to give.
- 1:07:47Speaker 22: He has to help Republicans on the ballot this November
- 1:07:49Speaker 22: by giving them a reason to come out to the polls.
- 1:07:52Speaker 22: And Republicans can go to the voters this summer in
- 1:07:54Speaker 22: this fall and say, look at all these pieces of
- 1:07:56Speaker 22: legislation that we've passed and sent to the President's desk.
- 1:07:59Speaker 22: Will motivate Republicans to come out to the polls and
- 1:08:02Speaker 22: rehire them for the job. Republicans feel like nothing's happening
- 1:08:05Speaker 22: in Congress. They're going to say, why should I come
- 1:08:07Speaker 22: out and support this person if nothing's getting done? And
- 1:08:10Speaker 22: that's the real crisis that leadership on the Hill has
- 1:08:12Speaker 22: to address.
- 1:08:13Speaker 4: Right, that's a great point. All right, Josh good good

- 1:09:56Speaker 4: just end Iran tonight? The Vice President li under a
- 1:10:00Speaker 4: little fire for insinuating that the United States may use
- 1:10:05Speaker 4: nuclear weapons. I don't believe the United States is going
- 1:10:08Speaker 4: to do that. And the Vice president it's interesting, you know,
- 1:10:12Speaker 4: Jandie Vance has done a good job. He disagrees with
- 1:10:14Speaker 4: the President on this, but he's keeping his objections under wraps.
- 1:10:19Speaker 4: But we know where. We knew where he stood on
- 1:10:21Speaker 4: all of this before him. But so I think he's
- 1:10:23Speaker 4: been doing, you know, a good job of being a
- 1:10:26Speaker 4: team player here. Let's go to the phone, though. Let's
- 1:10:29Speaker 4: say hello to Lee in Memphis, Tennessee, listening to us
- 1:10:33Speaker 4: on k w A, M Hi, Lee, what's on your mind?
- 1:10:37Speaker 22: Man?
- 1:10:37Speaker 3: One of the greatest radio coach shows in a long time.
- 1:10:40Speaker 3: I heard a long term. I am so proudly all
- 1:10:43Speaker 3: over here. Okay, man, I'm telling you man, I am
- 1:10:46Speaker 3: a count Saporta, and I agree with everything the president
- 1:10:49Speaker 3: is doing and everything he says, but you know some
- 1:10:52Speaker 3: of the time when he says something that's kind of
- 1:10:55Speaker 3: all saying, I kind of understand him. First they try
- 1:10:58Speaker 3: to kill him, and then you got to speaking of
- 1:11:01Speaker 3: the House when his first term there can up is
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: it addressed to the nation?
- 1:11:07Speaker 11: What did you respect?
- 1:11:08Speaker 3: You can't and take so much? And then you say,
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: there with the Russian what do y'all people expect? So
- 1:11:15Speaker 3: I understand him, you know, I have support him all
- 1:11:18Speaker 3: the way. But I don't think they're going to use
- 1:11:20Speaker 3: any nuclear weapons because they got this committee, you know,
- 1:11:24Speaker 3: dealing with the nuclear weapons all the nations over the world.
- 1:11:27Speaker 3: That and I think it's just base based for defense,
- 1:11:30Speaker 3: you know, on an all sense. Now, now they ain't
- 1:11:33Speaker 3: gonna do that.
- 1:11:34Speaker 4: You know, it's lee. It's funny everybody's giving Trump a
- 1:11:37Speaker 4: hard time about being profaned, as if nobody uses bad language.
- 1:11:42Speaker 4: I once heard I don't know who this was, but
- 1:11:45Speaker 4: they were one of our great religious leaders of all time.
- 1:11:48Speaker 4: This goes back many many, you know, decades and generations ago.
- 1:11:53Speaker 4: But he said he would never trust a Christian who
- 1:11:55Speaker 4: doesn't say a salty word every now and again.
- 1:12:01Speaker 3: I'm just saying, of course, we come on now, We're
- 1:12:05Speaker 3: not computers that program.
- 1:12:08Speaker 19: You know.
- 1:12:08Speaker 3: We want to we make mistakes. We say that even
- 1:12:11Speaker 3: I had made mistakes. It's true if I'm I didn't
- 1:12:15Speaker 3: mean mistake, but it just come out like that.
- 1:12:18Speaker 4: It happens to all of us.
- 1:12:21Speaker 3: I'd love to stay told by the President. We have
- 1:12:24Speaker 3: all these phonies up here that doing this kind of stuff.
- 1:12:26Speaker 3: You know, Man, come out talking on Saturday now, Man,
- 1:12:30Speaker 3: so it struck. It's great you be down and hiss
- 1:12:33Speaker 3: you as one of the best and one of the
- 1:12:35Speaker 3: true real person you know, a human being.
- 1:12:41Speaker 4: Lee, I want you to do me affair. I want
- 1:12:42Speaker 4: you to tell somebody a friend of yours. You got
- 1:12:44Speaker 4: to listen to k wham. But we love what you
- 1:12:47Speaker 4: have to say, and we sure to appreciate you listening
- 1:12:49Speaker 4: to to our show every day. Thank you for that.
- 1:12:53Speaker 4: Nine o one two six zero five nine two six.
- 1:12:56Speaker 4: You know, Dylan, it reminds me of LBJ, who who
- 1:13:01Speaker 4: was one of the most actually he was the most
- 1:13:04Speaker 4: profane president we had. And he used to just not
- 1:13:08Speaker 4: only curse like a sailor, but he was really inappropriate.
- 1:13:13Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, he used to conduct his
- 1:13:16Speaker 4: meetings on a toilet, very inappropriate. While he was on
- 1:13:20Speaker 4: the toilet doing number two.
- 1:13:23Speaker 16: Number two, number two, that's that's bad.
- 1:13:26Speaker 4: He had the door open and he'd make the staff
- 1:13:29Speaker 4: come in.
- 1:13:29Speaker 16: And I don't think they had poopare back then?
- 1:13:32Speaker 4: No, they pooper. It's potpourribriop no fabriz No, they didn't
- 1:13:39Speaker 4: have a window, couldn't even open a window. But anyway,
- 1:13:42Speaker 4: he was also known for they called him Jumbo. Actually
- 1:13:47Speaker 4: he called himself Jumbo. That was a nickname he gave
- 1:13:50Speaker 4: himself in college. And uh, you can only imagine why
- 1:13:55Speaker 4: you can google it. But let me just say this.
- 1:13:58Speaker 4: On some occasions when deal with world leaders, like for example,
- 1:14:02Speaker 4: Ho Chi Minh, he was known to unzip his pants
- 1:14:05Speaker 4: and suggests that Ho Chi Minh did not have a jumbo.
- 1:14:10Speaker 16: Yeah, so you probably shouldn't google it.
- 1:14:12Speaker 4: Actually, So all things considered, I think we're doing pretty
- 1:14:16Speaker 4: good all things Yes, all right, here's the deal. Hang tight,
- 1:14:22Speaker 4: We've got we're getting to your calls coming up the
- 1:14:25Speaker 4: next hour. Also, later in the next hour, we're gonna

- 1:14:30Speaker 4: of Christians Engaged. They're doing something really pretty awesome in
- 1:14:33Speaker 4: our nation's capital. We're also paying very close attention to
- 1:14:36Speaker 4: what's happening in the Middle East with iron eight o'clock
- 1:14:39Speaker 4: deadline on the way, we're taking your calls on that.
- 1:14:42Speaker 4: And by the way, during the break, head over to

- 1:14:54Speaker 4: the country to read this one. It's it's going to
- 1:14:56Speaker 4: be an important, fun, fun read. All right, Hey, tied
- 1:15:00Speaker 4: everybody hour three up next, This is the Todd Stearns
- 1:15:04Speaker 4: Radio Show.
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: By from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.
- 1:15:38Speaker 4: That's American starts. You know what's interesting. Greg Abbott is
- 1:15:51Speaker 4: in a world of controversy right now. Of course, say
- 1:15:54Speaker 4: he is the the governor of the Great State of Texas,
- 1:16:02Speaker 4: and he was captured on video at a Diwali celebration
- 1:16:08Speaker 4: that's an Indian holiday, and the governor was making a
- 1:16:13Speaker 4: pronouncement that Texas will be for the Indian community, and
- 1:16:20Speaker 4: that has set off a lot of controversy and as
- 1:16:24Speaker 4: a matter of fact, to one influencer writing Greg Abbott
- 1:16:27Speaker 4: declar's Texas a place for the Indian community. What about Texans,
- 1:16:30Speaker 4: Greg where do we go? What do they have on
- 1:16:34Speaker 4: Greg Abbott to make him say this? He's not the
- 1:16:37Speaker 4: only one. Another Republican leader. What a disgrace. Greg Abbott
- 1:16:41Speaker 4: is pandering to every third world culture there is and
- 1:16:44Speaker 4: is not doing a thing to protect Texas. And again
- 1:16:49Speaker 4: the governor saying Texas will be a land for Indians
- 1:16:53Speaker 4: getting a lot of backlash. I'm curious to know what
- 1:16:57Speaker 4: you folks in the Great State of Texas seem to
- 1:16:59Speaker 4: think about this getting inundated. A lot of people from
- 1:17:02Speaker 4: California moving to Texas. You've got a massive and growing
- 1:17:07Speaker 4: Islamic population in Texas. Of the President's under fire for
- 1:17:12Speaker 4: a video he posted a the Mall of America in
- 1:17:14Speaker 4: Minneapolis where it looked like little Somalia. And that's not
- 1:17:20Speaker 4: what the Mall of America used to look like ten
- 1:17:22Speaker 4: years ago. And so a lot of people and by
- 1:17:25Speaker 4: the way, this is not just Republicans, it's people in general.
- 1:17:29Speaker 4: They're waking up. In Collierville, Tennessee, for example, which is
- 1:17:33Speaker 4: a beautiful, quintessential southern town. They have the town square
- 1:17:38Speaker 4: and a very vibrant downtown area and a just a
- 1:17:41Speaker 4: bustling community. And over the past couple of years, people
- 1:17:46Speaker 4: have started noticing, even in Collierville, Tennessee, where you've had
- 1:17:51Speaker 4: a massive influx of Indian Americas, and people are wondering
- 1:17:56Speaker 4: what is going on, Why is the wire is the
- 1:17:59Speaker 4: culture changing so fast? Well, it turns out it's all
- 1:18:04Speaker 4: very intentional. So this is really not a surprise at
- 1:18:10Speaker 4: all at all. So you just need to pay attention
- 1:18:15Speaker 4: here because even Republican lawmakers, they're doing the bidding a
- 1:18:19Speaker 4: big business and the the the chambers of commerce. That's
- 1:18:24Speaker 4: what they're after. So they're going to do whatever is
- 1:18:27Speaker 4: necessary to keep those guys happy because those guys are
- 1:18:29Speaker 4: giving them campaign dollars. And one of the things that
- 1:18:35Speaker 4: big business wants is cheap labor, and that's why they're
- 1:18:38Speaker 4: bringing in so many people from these third world countries.
- 1:18:44Speaker 4: So Carrie's to hear thoughts on that nine oh one
- 1:18:46Speaker 4: two six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh
- 1:18:49Speaker 4: one two six zero five nine two six. Now where
- 1:18:54Speaker 4: is oh? This is interesting speaking of that. This is
- 1:18:57Speaker 4: a woman I believe in Alpha Red, Georgia. Some of
- 1:19:01Speaker 4: you folks in the Gainesville area know where that is.
- 1:19:04Speaker 4: She says that the library is no longer going to
- 1:19:08Speaker 4: be used at a pollings as a polling station, and
- 1:19:11Speaker 4: instead people are being told they're going to have to
- 1:19:13Speaker 4: go and vote on election day in a mosque. Take
- 1:19:16Speaker 4: a listen to kinda.
- 1:19:18Speaker 23: Pardon how I look. But I had just cleaned off
- 1:19:21Speaker 23: my makeup and wound down for the night when I
- 1:19:23Speaker 23: got that disturbing message on my campaign website. A woman
- 1:19:26Speaker 23: in Alpharetta said, they all just receive notification that they
- 1:19:30Speaker 23: will no longer be voting out the Alpharetta Public Library.
- 1:19:34Speaker 23: They will be voting at the Turkish Islamic Center in Alpharetta.
- 1:19:39Speaker 23: She said, we do not want to go to an
- 1:19:41Speaker 23: Islamic center to vote in an American election. I do
- 1:19:45Speaker 23: not blame them. That is insanity, especially when the CARE
- 1:19:50Speaker 23: super pac If you don't know what CARE is, it's
- 1:19:52Speaker 23: the Councilor on American and Islamic Relations is putting money
- 1:19:56Speaker 23: into elections. They dropped a whole bunch of into Mom
- 1:20:00Speaker 23: Donnie's election. There is a lot of truth to the
- 1:20:06Speaker 23: fact that they are trying to get these Muslims elected.
- 1:20:11Speaker 23: There are none running in Alpharetta, but they are trying
- 1:20:15Speaker 23: to influence elections by donating money that needs to be
- 1:20:19Speaker 23: switched back to the library. That should not be happening.
- 1:20:24Speaker 4: I just have one question. Are the female voters in Alfaretta,
- 1:20:27Speaker 4: Georgia when they go to voter election there? Are they
- 1:20:30Speaker 4: going to have to wear the hitchhop? Are they going to? Well,
- 1:20:32Speaker 4: they have them available for the ladies at the door.
- 1:20:35Speaker 4: Is that how that's gonna work? Jesus A. Lou And
- 1:20:38Speaker 4: of all places, Georgia nine oh one two six zero
- 1:20:42Speaker 4: five nine two six. Now, a lot of people are
- 1:20:46Speaker 4: saying that President Trump has lost a step, that he's
- 1:20:51Speaker 4: just not the same Donald Trump. And look, no doubt
- 1:20:53Speaker 4: Donald Trump's getting old. I mean we all get old,
- 1:20:56Speaker 4: but the guy still has it all together. And I
- 1:20:59Speaker 4: know all these like the Alex Jones and Marjorie Taylor Green's,
- 1:21:02Speaker 4: everybody's out there saying, oh, well, you know he's not
- 1:21:05Speaker 4: all there, he's mentally slipping, Dylan, I have proof positive
- 1:21:10Speaker 4: that Donald Trump is still he still got it all together. Yeah,
- 1:21:16Speaker 4: the cheese has not slid off. This man's cracker sturdy cheese.
- 1:21:20Speaker 4: And I will direct you to what happened yesterday at
- 1:21:24Speaker 4: the White House Easter egg roll. I I don't know
- 1:21:28Speaker 4: about you. I just I loved watching the President interacting
- 1:21:31Speaker 4: with these kids, right, It was just it was so
- 1:21:36Speaker 4: fun and it reminded me that this president is a
- 1:21:39Speaker 4: very funny, funny man. So our team put together this
- 1:21:44Speaker 4: montage of President Trump hanging with the children of America yesterday.
- 1:21:51Speaker 4: Do you remember the bunny with Joe Biden? Remember?
- 1:21:54Speaker 24: Do you remember when the when the bunny took Joe
- 1:21:57Speaker 24: Biden out.
- 1:21:59Speaker 4: Zach gotta take He's not taking Trump.
- 1:22:01Speaker 24: Bat anyway, that was a good That was a beautiful
- 1:22:05Speaker 24: moment when the bunny saved Joe budd.
- 1:22:13Speaker 16: Your bovie star who gave me from Hollywood, can be
- 1:22:15Speaker 16: with you.
- 1:22:20Speaker 24: Sure this is about eggs eggs?
- 1:22:24Speaker 4: Is there an auto around, Liz?
- 1:22:27Speaker 24: So anybody have an autopen?
- 1:22:28Speaker 6: You know?
- 1:22:28Speaker 24: Biden used to They used to follow him with an
- 1:22:30Speaker 24: auto fan.
- 1:22:31Speaker 14: At the car.
- 1:22:31Speaker 15: Did you never know?
- 1:22:33Speaker 24: And he gave it if he gave everything to the
- 1:22:34Speaker 24: auto because he was incapable of signing let it running again.
- 1:22:41Speaker 4: So nol I just love the fact that he's sitting
- 1:22:44Speaker 4: around and he's talking to five year olds about the
- 1:22:45Speaker 4: auto pen like he's just having a conversation, Like he
- 1:22:49Speaker 4: knows that they know that that Joe Biden was not
- 1:22:51Speaker 4: signing autographs.
- 1:22:53Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, he's uh, he's just letting it. He's reminding
- 1:22:56Speaker 16: them of the what could have been maybe or what
- 1:22:58Speaker 16: what is in the past.
- 1:23:00Speaker 4: Donald Trump, you're the greatest. Yes, I agree, Yes, thank
- 1:23:04Speaker 4: you for confirming. Yes, I just think that's brilliant. But again,
- 1:23:07Speaker 4: could you imagine though, Let's just say, and you know,
- 1:23:10Speaker 4: you've got a lot of people out there that smoked
- 1:23:12Speaker 4: the Doobie, the Devil's Lettuce, the Mary Jane. Could you
- 1:23:17Speaker 4: imagine though, You're sitting there watching the Easter egg Roll
- 1:23:20Speaker 4: on television, and all of a sudden you see President
- 1:23:23Speaker 4: Trump up there and he's talking about bombing the you
- 1:23:25Speaker 4: know what out of Iran, and standing right beside him
- 1:23:28Speaker 4: is the first Lady of these great United States and
- 1:23:31Speaker 4: a giant easter bunny. I think if you're doing the
- 1:23:35Speaker 4: if you're doing the Devil's Lettuce, you probably got a
- 1:23:38Speaker 4: little freaked out yesterday.
- 1:23:40Speaker 16: Yeah. That might have been the worst trip ever or
- 1:23:44Speaker 16: the best trip, depending on how you see it.
- 1:23:46Speaker 4: By the way, Dorothea, writing on social media at the
- 1:23:50Speaker 4: about the situation in Alfaretta, Georgia, Todd, No way, I
- 1:23:54Speaker 4: am not walking into a Muslim centative vote. What the
- 1:23:57Speaker 4: flat flop. Thank you, Dorothea. You gotta love it. Nine
- 1:24:04Speaker 4: oh one two six zero five nine two six. This
- 1:24:07Speaker 4: may be my favorite weird story of the day. Dylan
- 1:24:11Speaker 4: the leftist on TikTok are Now, by the way, we're
- 1:24:15Speaker 4: doing TikTok now, did you? This is sort of breaking news.
- 1:24:18Speaker 4: I'll get back to that in a moment. But Ian,
- 1:24:20Speaker 4: our digital media guy, says, you know what starrings you
- 1:24:23Speaker 4: need to be doing TikTok?
- 1:24:24Speaker 16: You do? You do the the gen Zer have been
- 1:24:27Speaker 16: waiting for you and you've arrived.
- 1:24:29Speaker 4: It's the lips. It's not the lips.
- 1:24:33Speaker 16: It's not it's a good social platform to be on.
- 1:24:37Speaker 4: So we're on TikTok. Look us up. I don't know
- 1:24:40Speaker 4: how to do that, but look it's up. We're there.
- 1:24:42Speaker 4: So anyway, these white woke women, you know, they all
- 1:24:46Speaker 4: need husbands. But here's the problem. It's it's a it's
- 1:24:49Speaker 4: a dilemma because nobody wants to marry them. No, I mean,
- 1:24:54Speaker 4: would you? I mean these are these are radical feminists
- 1:24:59Speaker 4: and they're just not very pleasant people to be around.
- 1:25:02Speaker 4: So it's a dilemma. So anyway, this walk white chick
- 1:25:06Speaker 4: is very upset that people are mowing their grass. She
- 1:25:11Speaker 4: says that it's a form of white supremacy and is
- 1:25:14Speaker 4: therefore racist. So people, if you're mowing your grass, you
- 1:25:19Speaker 4: are a racist person. Take a listen.
- 1:25:22Speaker 2: I can't stop thinking about how grass lawns are racist
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: and like based in white supremacy. If that doesn't make sense,
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: that's okay, I guess it seems really obvious to me.
- 1:25:39Speaker 2: It's it's really upsetting. Bring back weeds, bring back clover yards.
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: Can we just can can anything just be okay in
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: its natural state? Or do we just have to whitewash everything,
- 1:25:52Speaker 2: make it a competition and use it as a sign
- 1:25:56Speaker 2: of your worth as a human being in society? Like
- 1:25:59Speaker 2: can we just have.
- 1:26:02Speaker 4: Can we just have weeds? This reminds me of our
- 1:26:06Speaker 4: good friend Kenny Crenshaw, who is a great sponsor of KWAM,
- 1:26:11Speaker 4: the news radio station in Memphis, our flagship station, and
- 1:26:14Speaker 4: he has a lawn maintenance business and his slogan Dylan.
- 1:26:19Speaker 4: What is Kenny Crenshaw's slogan that everybody in Memphis, Tennessee knows?
- 1:26:24Speaker 4: Let me kill your weeds, Let me kill your weeds good,
- 1:26:28Speaker 4: and he'll do it. Look, here's the deal. So we
- 1:26:32Speaker 4: did a little research here, and this woman's very upset
- 1:26:34Speaker 4: and she says that that manicuring a lawn is about
- 1:26:40Speaker 4: white supremacy. So we went back and looked, and we
- 1:26:44Speaker 4: did a little bit of a historical search, and it
- 1:26:45Speaker 4: turns out that modern day lawn management actually began in
- 1:26:50Speaker 4: eighteen thirty, but it actually originated in the sixteenth century
- 1:26:56Speaker 4: in Europe among European aristocrats. And so if you were
- 1:27:02Speaker 4: they were all about manicuring the lawns and close cropping
- 1:27:06Speaker 4: the grass and that was all seen as a symbol
- 1:27:09Speaker 4: of wealth. Now, Dylan, you may be wondering, well, how
- 1:27:12Speaker 4: did the poor people mow their grafts back in like
- 1:27:14Speaker 4: sixteen oh one.
- 1:27:16Speaker 16: I am wondering.
- 1:27:17Speaker 4: Yeah, goats, goats and sheep. Yeah, they use the livestock.
- 1:27:22Speaker 16: See that's a natural lawnmoment right.
- 1:27:23Speaker 4: There, man, just back and forth. Yeah, I think that
- 1:27:33Speaker 4: was a sheep. I don't know what it was.
- 1:27:34Speaker 16: It alone seems like you have one.
- 1:27:37Speaker 4: So anyway, we did this research and we determined that
- 1:27:43Speaker 4: that's how it all started. And so did they have
- 1:27:47Speaker 4: a point? Here are these white woke women, because they're saying,
- 1:27:51Speaker 4: how dare you you should let the just the weeds
- 1:27:54Speaker 4: grow naturally, and I'm wondering, Okay, well, if they want
- 1:27:58Speaker 4: to let everything be as it is, do they actually
- 1:28:02Speaker 4: practice good hygiene, these woke white feminist women. Is that
- 1:28:07Speaker 4: do they practice? Do they bathe on a regular basis?
- 1:28:12Speaker 4: Do they just I don't know, stew in their natural juices?
- 1:28:19Speaker 4: I'm just wondering, can you not say juices? Sorry about that?
- 1:28:24Speaker 4: So anyway, we did some more research and it turns out,
- 1:28:28Speaker 4: it turns out ladies and gentlemen, and there's a great
- 1:28:31Speaker 4: irony to all of this because it turns out that
- 1:28:34Speaker 4: the man who invented the rotary blade used in lawnmowers
- 1:28:41Speaker 4: is a black man by the name of John Albert Burr,
- 1:28:46Speaker 4: who happened to be the son of slaves. And his design,
- 1:28:52Speaker 4: which he had the patent for this, he became a
- 1:28:54Speaker 4: very wealthy man. His design literally made it easier to
- 1:29:00Speaker 4: hot grass. So all of you white, woke, smelly women
- 1:29:06Speaker 4: out there, just be aware. Again. I don't want to
- 1:29:14Speaker 4: get into the weeds here, but just be aware. Unbelievable,
- 1:29:19Speaker 4: all right? Nine oh one two six zero five nine
- 1:29:21Speaker 4: two six. Let's go to the phones, Harold and Warren. Ohio, Harold,
- 1:29:27Speaker 4: what's on your mind today.
- 1:29:29Speaker 18: Yeah, you know, the Democrats know that no Christian is
- 1:29:34Speaker 18: going to want to go to an Islamic musque to
- 1:29:37Speaker 18: vote in the elections, and so that's why they want
- 1:29:39Speaker 18: to have it in a mosque, so that they'll cut
- 1:29:42Speaker 18: back on the Republicans voting if they got a good
- 1:29:44Speaker 18: instide of Musk to do it, and if they got
- 1:29:47Speaker 18: in the if American women, especially Christian women, have to
- 1:29:50Speaker 18: be humiliated by putting on one of those Islamic things
- 1:29:54Speaker 18: to go into the vote, no one with any self
- 1:29:58Speaker 18: respect is going to do that, especially when the Islamists
- 1:30:01Speaker 18: stay like under Anwas he said, first we're going to
- 1:30:05Speaker 18: kill all the Saturday people, which are the Jews. Then
- 1:30:07Speaker 18: we're going to kill all the Sunday people, which are
- 1:30:09Speaker 18: the Christians. And now they're going to open up their
- 1:30:11Speaker 18: doors and have us come in and vote. And even
- 1:30:14Speaker 18: in their Sharia law, it tells them that if anybody
- 1:30:17Speaker 18: says anything negative about Muhammad, they should be killed, and
- 1:30:21Speaker 18: if a Muslim converts to Christianity, he must be killed.
- 1:30:24Speaker 18: And yet we're you know who, what crazy politician has
- 1:30:28Speaker 18: got to be? A Democrat would allow these people to
- 1:30:30Speaker 18: take over any part of America and fester and grow.
- 1:30:34Speaker 18: When they say that, you know, they cut down the Lord.
- 1:30:36Speaker 18: They say the Lord wasn't a part of the trinity
- 1:30:39Speaker 18: and he can't save anybody. But yet, if you say
- 1:30:41Speaker 18: a thing against Muhammad, they got the right to kill
- 1:30:44Speaker 18: you under their Sharia law. And they're telling police and neighborhoods.
- 1:30:48Speaker 18: They're telling police stay out of our neighborhood. We're invoking
- 1:30:51Speaker 18: Sharia law here. So in a country that says law
- 1:30:54Speaker 18: shall not kill, you can't go out and murder. They're
- 1:30:57Speaker 18: allowing the Muslims to set up conclaves where they tell
- 1:30:59Speaker 18: their peace to murder if anybody says anything against Mohammad
- 1:31:04Speaker 18: or anything else like that. While they're attacking Christianity.
- 1:31:06Speaker 4: Harold, you know what I'm gonna do, Harold, If God forbid,
- 1:31:10Speaker 4: I got to go vote in a mosque for election day,
- 1:31:13Speaker 4: I'm bringing a big old bucket of ribs. That's what
- 1:31:15Speaker 4: I'm good. That's what I'm doing.
- 1:31:18Speaker 7: Good, good would you?
- 1:31:19Speaker 18: But nobody with any self respect it's gonna go in
- 1:31:22Speaker 18: in one of America's enemies, and in one of God's
- 1:31:24Speaker 18: enemies to vote for the And they know that. So
- 1:31:27Speaker 18: that's why they figured though, when the mid terms if
- 1:31:30Speaker 18: they're they, you know, keep Christians out from voting, you know.
- 1:31:34Speaker 4: All right, Harold, I gotta leave it there, my friend.
- 1:31:36Speaker 4: We're running, we're running out of time for this segment,
- 1:31:38Speaker 4: but I am sure to appreciate you calling. I like
- 1:31:41Speaker 4: the way Harold thinks. I will say this to Dylan.
- 1:31:43Speaker 4: I would. I'd walk in with a big old bucket
- 1:31:46Speaker 4: of ribs. Would you like a burka? I'm like no,
- 1:31:49Speaker 4: but I'll take a wet wipe if you got one.
- 1:31:51Speaker 4: We'll be right back. All right, let's go to the
- 1:32:07Speaker 4: phone lines. Memphis, Tennessee Bill listening to us on k
- 1:32:11Speaker 4: W A M.
- 1:32:12Speaker 20: Bill.
- 1:32:13Speaker 4: What is on your mind today?
- 1:32:15Speaker 10: Oh?

- 1:32:21Speaker 8: buddy that you had on their Is it Tiger the
- 1:32:23Speaker 8: General Dragon?
- 1:32:24Speaker 4: Oh yeah, the Dragon General Tigert.
- 1:32:27Speaker 7: Yeah yeah.
- 1:32:28Speaker 8: I taught some people that he's affiliated with through the
- 1:32:30Speaker 8: HOSTAG Search and Rescue program of the Philippines all at
- 1:32:33Speaker 8: jungle fighting with knives and the dark stuff. I'm starting
- 1:32:35Speaker 8: to fight through a Philippine Marine Corps for their philip
- 1:32:38Speaker 8: Marine Corps Martial Arts program, and the US knipers would
- 1:32:41Speaker 8: come there for that kind of stuff like that's what
- 1:32:44Speaker 8: I did, and I was living my dream. I'm trying
- 1:32:47Speaker 8: to get money together because they're asking me to come
- 1:32:49Speaker 8: back every year, and I wasn't making money before. I
- 1:32:53Speaker 8: want to go keep for free again. But I need
- 1:32:55Speaker 8: money for other stuff. And unfortunately, I'm one of those
- 1:32:57Speaker 8: strollaway veterans who's trying to get some Social Security or something,
- 1:33:01Speaker 8: so I have enough money to start a little beehives
- 1:33:04Speaker 8: or something.
- 1:33:04Speaker 4: You know. Well, no such thing as a no such
- 1:33:07Speaker 4: thing as a throwaway veteran on this program. Bill, we
- 1:33:10Speaker 4: respect all of our military veterans.
- 1:33:14Speaker 8: Well, you know, I got that same old thing about, well,
- 1:33:17Speaker 8: your injuries are not service related. Well, no kidding. I'm
- 1:33:20Speaker 8: fifty seven. I've been out on the military for thirty
- 1:33:22Speaker 8: something years, you know. But you can talk to people
- 1:33:28Speaker 8: that actually matter in the military world. Somebody needs to
- 1:33:31Speaker 8: be held accountable. Whoever set up the Islamic reheema and
- 1:33:34Speaker 8: the banking system.
- 1:33:36Speaker 4: Well, we're gonna, yeah, we're going to be all over that, Bill, Bill.
- 1:33:39Speaker 4: They're cutting me off. I am so so sorry, Bill,
- 1:33:42Speaker 4: but you give us a call back. You're a great
- 1:33:45Speaker 4: American patriot in our books. Hang tight, everybody, We'll be
- 1:33:49Speaker 4: right back, all right. Welcome back to everybody. This is

- 1:34:31Speaker 4: come with a good name for our ladies panel. And
- 1:34:35Speaker 4: the network turned down Todd's smoking Hot Conservatives Babes Babe segment.
- 1:34:40Speaker 4: They turned that down.
- 1:34:42Speaker 16: I wonder why.
- 1:34:43Speaker 4: I don't know. Yes, I think it was a very
- 1:34:46Speaker 4: descriptive way to portray Mary Walter in case my Hill.
- 1:34:52Speaker 4: But anyway, we're so we're if you guys have any
- 1:34:54Speaker 4: great suggestions, give us a call. Anyway, Mary and Kay
- 1:34:57Speaker 4: join us and they're going to talk about the crazy
- 1:34:59Speaker 4: news of the day. Well, probably one of the most
- 1:35:02Speaker 4: important stories that we need to be talking about is
- 1:35:06Speaker 4: something that's going to be happening in Washington, d C.
- 1:35:09Speaker 4: April eighteenth through the twenty fifth. If you can't make
- 1:35:13Speaker 4: it to Washington, don't worry because you'll be able to
- 1:35:16Speaker 4: watch it on Great American Pureflix and here to tell
- 1:35:19Speaker 4: us all about what's going to happen a national Scripture reading.
- 1:35:24Speaker 4: We're so honored to have Bunny Pounds with us, the
- 1:35:27Speaker 4: founder and president of Christians Engaged and the visionary behind
- 1:35:31Speaker 4: America Reads the Bible. Bunny, what an honor to have
- 1:35:34Speaker 4: you with us.
- 1:35:36Speaker 25: Well, it is an honor to be here, Tod. Thank
- 1:35:38Speaker 25: you for highlighting this national moment that we're never going
- 1:35:41Speaker 25: to forget.
- 1:35:42Speaker 4: No, and we're not going to forget it. And I
- 1:35:45Speaker 4: just love any organization or event that is promoting Bible
- 1:35:49Speaker 4: reading that is I have great respect for those organizations.
- 1:35:53Speaker 4: And I'm wondering how you came up with this idea.
- 1:35:57Speaker 25: Well, I was in the Museum of the Bible two
- 1:35:59Speaker 25: years ago, a whole bunch of young people that we
- 1:36:01Speaker 25: had brought to Washington, DC. And I had just finished
- 1:36:04Speaker 25: a new book that is coming out May nineteen called
- 1:36:08Speaker 25: Stepping Up to Lead, Rebuilding a Nation in the Footsteps
- 1:36:11Speaker 25: of Nehemiah. And I've studied. I've been a former congressional
- 1:36:15Speaker 25: staffer and campaign manager for a long time working in government,
- 1:36:20Speaker 25: and I've always been fascinated with Nehemiah. But as I
- 1:36:23Speaker 25: was watching Ezra read the scroll to the Israelites, I
- 1:36:28Speaker 25: just started weeping, and I thought, this is the problem
- 1:36:31Speaker 25: with American church. Why it's so hard to get people
- 1:36:34Speaker 25: to get outside the walls of the church and share
- 1:36:37Speaker 25: the gospel or run for school board or take you
- 1:36:40Speaker 25: over their chamber of commerce, is that we don't know
- 1:36:42Speaker 25: who we are, and just like ancient Israel, we need
- 1:36:45Speaker 25: a reminder call of that. And so I had this
- 1:36:48Speaker 25: random thought that day. Wouldn't it be awesome if our
- 1:36:51Speaker 25: national leaders from all demographics, all denominations and backgrounds would
- 1:36:56Speaker 25: humble themselves and say, we need the Bible every day
- 1:36:59Speaker 25: to make it. You the American people need the Bible
- 1:37:01Speaker 25: every day to make it. And what if we read
- 1:37:04Speaker 25: the Bible from Genesis to Revelation in the backdrop of
- 1:37:08Speaker 25: our two hundred and fiftieth birthday of our country. And
- 1:37:11Speaker 25: that's how it started and here we are today.
- 1:37:14Speaker 4: I understand that it has been so well received and
- 1:37:19Speaker 4: a lot of folks many I think just about everybody
- 1:37:22Speaker 4: that's going to be reading from the Bible has been
- 1:37:24Speaker 4: on either my TV show on Newsmax or the radio show.
- 1:37:28Speaker 4: But give us an idea of who all is is
- 1:37:30Speaker 4: going to be participating in this well.
- 1:37:33Speaker 25: We have six Cabinet members, we have Susie Wiles, the
- 1:37:36Speaker 25: White House chiefest Staff, and more important people coming from
- 1:37:39Speaker 25: the White House soon. We have six governors, twenty members
- 1:37:44Speaker 25: of Congress, Hollywood stars like Patricia Heaton, Everybody Loves Raymond
- 1:37:48Speaker 25: is starting Genesis one and two. My great national spokespeople
- 1:37:53Speaker 25: Candice Cameron Bray from Full House and Great American Media,
- 1:37:56Speaker 25: and Cameron and Bjarnett from The Forge movie. But we
- 1:38:00Speaker 25: have everybody from farmers to hospice care workers to single moms,
- 1:38:05Speaker 25: to over one hundred and twenty two national ministries that
- 1:38:10Speaker 25: are partnering with us and sponsoring this todd It has
- 1:38:13Speaker 25: really been an amazing moment. And on April eighteen, we're
- 1:38:18Speaker 25: going to have an opening celebration that'll be on radio
- 1:38:22Speaker 25: across the country and also live streamed on Great American Media,
- 1:38:26Speaker 25: with leaders sharing their testimonies related to the Bible and
- 1:38:29Speaker 25: US calling the American people back to the Bible. And
- 1:38:32Speaker 25: then nine am to nine pm for seven full days,
- 1:38:35Speaker 25: Genesis to Revelation with sixteen national worship leaders filling in
- 1:38:40Speaker 25: the gaps of prayer and worship at the end of
- 1:38:42Speaker 25: each hour, and I just am so thankful for every
- 1:38:46Speaker 25: single of our five hundred readers and every single ministry
- 1:38:49Speaker 25: that's participating with.
- 1:38:50Speaker 4: This, and Bunny, you should if people want to get
- 1:38:52Speaker 4: information on all of this, they can go to your website.
- 1:38:55Speaker 4: Is that where you're directing folks?

- 1:39:27Speaker 4: are we're going to be doing this April eighteenth through
- 1:39:30Speaker 4: the twenty fifth. What happens after that? What do you
- 1:39:33Speaker 4: hope people get out of this event?
- 1:39:37Speaker 25: Well, we're praying for two things, Todd. Number one, complacency
- 1:39:40Speaker 25: and apathy has broken off our hearts as far as
- 1:39:43Speaker 25: the Body of Christ with our relationships to the Bible,
- 1:39:46Speaker 25: that we understand that God wants to speak to us
- 1:39:49Speaker 25: every day and the best way that he speaks to
- 1:39:52Speaker 25: us is through his word, the truth, and the Spirit.
- 1:39:55Speaker 25: So and we're praying for the American people that might
- 1:39:58Speaker 25: see these media clips. You know, we'd love to have
- 1:40:01Speaker 25: you come to the museum and be a part of
- 1:40:03Speaker 25: our media row. But we're believing all of this stuff
- 1:40:06Speaker 25: that's going to be circulating, whether it's Fox News newsmacs
- 1:40:10Speaker 25: across the country are going to stir Americans that, man,
- 1:40:14Speaker 25: maybe I should pick up a Bible right now. But
- 1:40:16Speaker 25: we're we have fourteen national ministries that are giving away
- 1:40:19Speaker 25: all their Bible reading and discipleship programs for free, and
- 1:40:22Speaker 25: people can check that out at America reads the Bible
- 1:40:25Speaker 25: dot Com as well. We want to see people read
- 1:40:28Speaker 25: the Bible every day.
- 1:40:29Speaker 4: All well, it is it's a noble quest and we
- 1:40:32Speaker 4: certainly wish you guys nothing but the best. Again, folks,
- 1:40:36Speaker 4: America reads the Bible dot Com. You'll be able to
- 1:40:38Speaker 4: get all the information and also you'll be able to

- 1:40:45Speaker 4: the show a few days ago, and Pete Hegseth aed Cruz,
- 1:40:49Speaker 4: Sarah Huckabee Sanders, just among many many others. Bunny, thank
- 1:40:53Speaker 4: you for putting this together. What a great, great idea,
- 1:40:57Speaker 4: and I'm excited. I truly believe more people are going
- 1:41:00Speaker 4: to be reading the Bible as a result of this.
- 1:41:03Speaker 25: Well, we believe that too, Todd. And we're so thankful
- 1:41:06Speaker 25: for everybody helping amplify this and everybody amplify the Word
- 1:41:09Speaker 25: of God. As these things go out over these eight days,
- 1:41:13Speaker 25: think about how you can use it in your community,
- 1:41:15Speaker 25: your family, your church, and your business.
- 1:41:19Speaker 4: All right, Bunny, We're going to leave it there, and
- 1:41:21Speaker 4: thank you again for joining us the founder and president

- 1:42:27Speaker 4: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Yeah,
- 1:42:33Speaker 4: could you imagine me doing the whole three hours like that?
- 1:42:36Speaker 16: I can, I can imagine it. I just don't think
- 1:42:38Speaker 16: it would be helpful for your voice.
- 1:42:40Speaker 4: Let's go to the phone lines. Jerry the Liberal, he's
- 1:42:44Speaker 4: from Milwaukee. Oh, you're right. That does kind of hurt
- 1:42:47Speaker 4: a little bit.
- 1:42:48Speaker 16: I need a lot more, honey.
- 1:42:50Speaker 4: I need some of that lip bomb.
- 1:42:53Speaker 16: Oh it's not gonna help your voice.
- 1:42:55Speaker 4: All right? Uh wow, what do we do from here?
- 1:43:02Speaker 4: We're gonna we're gonna take a quick break. Nine oh
- 1:43:04Speaker 4: one two six zero five nine two six is our number.
- 1:43:07Speaker 4: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.
- 1:43:10Speaker 4: This is one. They didn't invite me to read a chapter.
- 1:43:13Speaker 4: They were afraid I might go rogue. I should have
- 1:43:17Speaker 4: asked Monny, what version of the Bible they're using. You know,
- 1:43:20Speaker 4: that's gonna make a difference, some of these new fangled,
- 1:43:24Speaker 4: new fangled versions. I went to one of those fancy churches,
- 1:43:28Speaker 4: one of the new fangled with the American idol cover bands. Yeah,
- 1:43:31Speaker 4: I was visiting this is years ago, and I was,
- 1:43:35Speaker 4: I was. I came from like organ and piano church, right,
- 1:43:40Speaker 4: there was not even an orchestra. Those things didn't even
- 1:43:42Speaker 4: exist when I was growing to church growing up, so
- 1:43:46Speaker 4: you had like organ and pianos. So anyway, this is
- 1:43:48Speaker 4: one of these church they had like a rock band
- 1:43:51Speaker 4: and they were they we got together to pray. I'll
- 1:43:54Speaker 4: never forget this. I was like eighteen years old, fresh
- 1:43:57Speaker 4: off the farm, and we're holding hands in a circle,
- 1:44:01Speaker 4: which was you know, I'm a Baptist, and we don't
- 1:44:04Speaker 4: we can't raise our We're not genetically built like that pocket, right,
- 1:44:08Speaker 4: you can't raise your hand unless you have a question.
- 1:44:11Speaker 16: Yes, so it's true.
- 1:44:14Speaker 4: So anyway, we're in this worship service and I somebody
- 1:44:17Speaker 4: had invited me to this, and is the college ministry
- 1:44:20Speaker 4: was larger than my entire church, you know, so it
- 1:44:23Speaker 4: was just a huge crowd, somewhat overwhelmed. You've got the
- 1:44:27Speaker 4: rock band, and you're like, wait a second, I thought
- 1:44:29Speaker 4: drums were of Satan. I didn't know. I you know, inside,
- 1:44:32Speaker 4: I didn't know what was going on. I thought maybe
- 1:44:35Speaker 4: they were a Methodist or something. And so then they pray,
- 1:44:39Speaker 4: and I remember we were holding hands and that felt weird,
- 1:44:44Speaker 4: and and they then they start praying. This is great.
- 1:44:49Speaker 4: So there they start praying, and I thought, wait a second,
- 1:44:54Speaker 4: I don't pray out loud, so I always get I
- 1:44:58Speaker 4: was sweating bullets because I'm like, people started praying. They
- 1:45:01Speaker 4: were going around the super pray, and so I realized
- 1:45:05Speaker 4: when it was my turn, I didn't know what to
- 1:45:07Speaker 4: so I just squeezed the other person's and things, and
- 1:45:10Speaker 4: they kind of skipped over me. I didn't know what
- 1:45:12Speaker 4: to do. I know, they're thinking I'm a heathen. I'm
- 1:45:15Speaker 4: just from a country Baptist church. We don't do that
- 1:45:17Speaker 4: kind of stuff.
- 1:45:18Speaker 16: Yeah, they probably look down on you. That's a judgment.
- 1:45:21Speaker 4: And then the guy prayed, oh Daddy Jesus, and I'm like,
- 1:45:26Speaker 4: what did you just say? Oh Daddy, Oh daddy. He
- 1:45:30Speaker 4: just kept saying oh Daddy over and over again, and
- 1:45:33Speaker 4: I'm like the first thing I'd like dropped the guy's hand.
- 1:45:36Speaker 4: I mean, that was weird enough, but then he's praying anyway.
- 1:45:40Speaker 4: I guess that's you know, and people are comfortable. I mean,
- 1:45:43Speaker 4: that's how some people relate to God.
- 1:45:45Speaker 16: You know.
- 1:45:46Speaker 4: I'm just more you know, normal, Yeah, thank you Father.
- 1:45:52Speaker 4: That too. It was like my turn to pray, and
- 1:45:55Speaker 4: I was like, man, you're a rocking And then I'm like, oh,
- 1:45:59Speaker 4: my two most Holy Father, we covered before thee with
- 1:46:06Speaker 4: my turn. Can we just chant? Have a moment of
- 1:46:12Speaker 4: holy chanting?
- 1:46:14Speaker 14: All right?
- 1:46:14Speaker 4: We got to take a break, will be right back, Dylan.
- 1:46:30Speaker 4: You're not gonna believe this. Gen Z dot Bible dot com.
- 1:46:36Speaker 4: They have a Bible just for gen Z. This makes
- 1:46:40Speaker 4: me very nervous. It's yeah, they said, the traditional translations
- 1:46:44Speaker 4: can feel distant. The gen Z Bible brings scripture to
- 1:46:48Speaker 4: life and language that connects with how you actually talk
- 1:46:51Speaker 4: and think. Is that true?
- 1:46:55Speaker 16: We're looking up versus right now.
- 1:46:57Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, is it not? I want to hear
- 1:47:00Speaker 4: a verse?
- 1:47:01Speaker 16: This is terrible, Okay, Matthew six, Verse one says, yo,
- 1:47:07Speaker 16: listen up, No, it does not. It does. Don't be
- 1:47:12Speaker 16: flexing your good deeds in front of everyone just to
- 1:47:14Speaker 16: impress them. If you do that, you won't get any
- 1:47:17Speaker 16: props from your heavenly Father. Keep it low key, fam.
- 1:47:29Speaker 4: Oh hear me so John Chapter one, verse one. The
- 1:47:31Speaker 4: King James version, in the beginning was the Word, and
- 1:47:35Speaker 4: the word was God, and the word was God. And
- 1:47:38Speaker 4: in the gen Z version it says, in the beginning
- 1:47:40Speaker 4: was the word and the word was with God, and
- 1:47:42Speaker 4: the word was God. No cap. That's the ultimate vibe.
- 1:47:47Speaker 4: The same was in the beginning with God. That's King
- 1:47:50Speaker 4: James version. The gen Z version, the same was in
- 1:47:53Speaker 4: the beginning with God. Straight up. They were homies from
- 1:47:57Speaker 4: day one.
- 1:47:58Speaker 16: Don't have to add those things.
- 1:48:00Speaker 4: Why are you adding to God's word? Isn't that straight up?
- 1:48:04Speaker 16: That's what the period is for.
- 1:48:06Speaker 4: I'm not digging this vibe off, no cap. And the
- 1:48:13Speaker 4: light shineth the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it. Not
- 1:48:16Speaker 4: the light was shining, but the dark was. Suss didn't
- 1:48:20Speaker 4: get it. This is not real.
- 1:48:26Speaker 16: Is this real? It's I mean, it's a full on website.
- 1:48:32Speaker 4: This is shanking. You know what. We've got to get
- 1:48:34Speaker 4: a pastor. We've got to get one of our pastors on.
- 1:48:36Speaker 4: We'll get doctor Jefferson to talk about this. What does
- 1:48:40Speaker 4: it say about the Lord's prayer? That's what I want.
- 1:48:42Speaker 16: Yeah, that's a good one. That's a good one to know.
- 1:48:44Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. So they have like an app and
- 1:48:46Speaker 4: everything scripture that actually makes sense? Well, why don't you
- 1:48:50Speaker 4: read the Bible for yourself? That's what I don't understand.
- 1:48:56Speaker 4: My goodness. It's getting five star reviews. By the way,
- 1:49:01Speaker 4: they're saying the easiest of the translations to understand. It
- 1:49:04Speaker 4: makes the Bible feel accessible. I love the Bible chat
- 1:49:08Speaker 4: you ask it tons of different questions and it gives
- 1:49:11Speaker 4: you a biblical answer. Well, you hope, so, but I
- 1:49:15Speaker 4: don't know. I stopped so many bad habits and finally
- 1:49:21Speaker 4: grew as a Christian and built her relationship with God.
- 1:49:23Speaker 4: So it's called the gen Z Bible. Is it all online?
- 1:49:26Speaker 4: I guess it can't be an actual physical book because
- 1:49:28Speaker 4: gen Z they don't read books.
- 1:49:30Speaker 16: Yeah, that would make more sense to be an app.
- 1:49:33Speaker 16: But this is it's a little there's a lot of
- 1:49:35Speaker 16: red flags here. I mean, I don't know. If it
- 1:49:38Speaker 16: aligns then maybe, but it seems like it's just adding
- 1:49:40Speaker 16: a bunch of words you don't actually need changing words.
- 1:49:44Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just odd. So the I'm just let's see here,
- 1:49:51Speaker 4: I'm scrolling through the Book of Romans right now, and
- 1:49:55Speaker 4: I just don't know. You know, this is going to
- 1:49:57Speaker 4: be a good question to ask the Lord when you
- 1:49:59Speaker 4: get to Heaven. You know, what do you think about
- 1:50:00Speaker 4: the what do you think about the apps?
- 1:50:02Speaker 16: Yeah, you know, I.
- 1:50:03Speaker 4: Think at some point, you know, it's weird because I
- 1:50:07Speaker 4: still go to church with like a regular Bible, you know,
- 1:50:10Speaker 4: an actual real Bible that you hold, and a lot
- 1:50:14Speaker 4: of people are not even doing that, you know, They're
- 1:50:16Speaker 4: either not bringing one or they've got the Bible on
- 1:50:19Speaker 4: their smartphone. And I always feel weird doing that because
- 1:50:22Speaker 4: I think people are judging me for you know, oh,
- 1:50:25Speaker 4: he's texting, you know during the service.
- 1:50:29Speaker 16: Well that's what That's what the whole point of bringing
- 1:50:31Speaker 16: the actual Bible is, so you don't end up texting
- 1:50:34Speaker 16: when you're on your Bible app get the notifications. But yeah,
- 1:50:39Speaker 16: I think it's always good to bring the physical Bible.
- 1:50:41Speaker 4: Anyway. I'm just curious, Yeah, have we found the Lord's
- 1:50:44Speaker 4: Prayer yet?
- 1:50:46Speaker 16: It's so different that I don't even know if I
- 1:50:48Speaker 16: can find it because it's like way off.
- 1:50:50Speaker 4: Or it could be like the Big Man's prayer or something.
- 1:50:53Speaker 4: I'm trying to think, how would a yeah, how what
- 1:50:55Speaker 4: is the gen z equivalent to God?
- 1:50:58Speaker 16: Probably not, Daddy can't have that. Oh my god, that.
- 1:51:03Speaker 4: Is that brings back so many bad memories, and they're
- 1:51:06Speaker 4: all at It's just weird memories. You know, you go
- 1:51:09Speaker 4: to church one way your whole life, and then all
- 1:51:11Speaker 4: of a sudden you you know, I know it's all
- 1:51:15Speaker 4: very strange to me, So well, there you go. It
- 1:51:18Speaker 4: does remind me though, of the great Southern Gospel song.
- 1:51:22Speaker 4: If John the Baptist use the King James version, it's
- 1:51:24Speaker 4: good enough for me. There you go. All right, by
