- 0:10Speaker 1: Well, live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
- 0:13Speaker 1: It's America's favorite gun toting, bible clinging, deplorable American.
- 0:18Speaker 2: That's American.
- 0:25Speaker 3: Todd starts day.
- 0:28Speaker 2: All right, Hello, everybody, welcome to the Ton Stearns Radio Show.
- 0:32Speaker 2: What an honor to have you with us today. Three
- 0:36Speaker 2: hours of conservative conversation coming your way. By the way,
- 0:41Speaker 2: write down our telephone number. You're gonna need this if
- 0:43Speaker 2: you plan on calling in today. Nine oh one two
- 0:46Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. That is our telephone number.
- 0:50Speaker 2: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.
- 0:53Speaker 2: And by the way, you know, we have several stations
- 0:56Speaker 2: around the country and they actually carry us on delay,
- 0:59Speaker 2: so if you call in during those hours while there's
- 1:03Speaker 2: no one here to answer your call, so we have
- 1:06Speaker 2: a workaround. When you download our free app at Todd
- 1:10Speaker 2: Sterns dot com, you can actually leave us a shout
- 1:13Speaker 2: out and so your comment is then sent directly to
- 1:18Speaker 2: us and we can play that on the air the
- 1:20Speaker 2: following day. So for those of you, I think in Wichita, Cansas,
- 1:24Speaker 2: they carry us a little bit later in the afternoon,
- 1:27Speaker 2: you'll be able to do that by simply going to
- 1:29Speaker 2: Todd Stearns dot com. All Right, it's primary day, and
- 1:33Speaker 2: of course a lot of attention being focused on the
- 1:36Speaker 2: great state of Florida, where President Trump's agenda is on
- 1:41Speaker 2: the ballot in the Republican primary, Byron Donald's expected to
- 1:46Speaker 2: do pretty well. They're also a big debate and we're
- 1:48Speaker 2: going to get into this with Adam Morgan in South
- 1:51Speaker 2: Carolina between between Darlene Graham and our good buddy, Congressman
- 1:56Speaker 2: Ralph Norman. By the way, this is interesting. Darlene Graham
- 2:02Speaker 2: is now going by Graham as her last name. So
- 2:04Speaker 2: she's been married, I think twice, and so she has
- 2:07Speaker 2: now gone back to her maiden name for the purposes
- 2:12Speaker 2: of the of the Senate race there in the great
- 2:16Speaker 2: state of South Carolina. And that's a little weird, right,
- 2:21Speaker 2: It just seems weird to me. So any who's will
- 2:25Speaker 2: be following all of that for you. Also, Kristin Hawkins
- 2:29Speaker 2: from Students for Life, a bunch of pro lifers got
- 2:33Speaker 2: kicked out of a of a coffee house. They were
- 2:37Speaker 2: gathering and they all bought coffee and they were sitting
- 2:39Speaker 2: around talking about pro life issues and they got kicked out.
- 2:43Speaker 2: So we're going to talk to Kristin Hawkins in just
- 2:46Speaker 2: a little while as well. But I want to start
- 2:49Speaker 2: today with a weird, weird story. It comes out of
- 2:55Speaker 2: Penn State, and I just have to tell you I
- 3:00Speaker 2: genuinely shocked by this report. But apparently a bunch of
- 3:05Speaker 2: fraternity brothers were running a cocaine ring out of the
- 3:09Speaker 2: frat house. Now, Dylan, you went to University of Memphis.
- 3:13Speaker 2: Did you guys have the fraternities and the sororities there?
- 3:16Speaker 4: We had a few, but we did have some that
- 3:18Speaker 4: were canceled.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Oh really, yeah we did.
- 3:21Speaker 4: So they were doing what though, like it was like drinking.
- 3:24Speaker 2: They were doing what naughty things.
- 3:26Speaker 4: Like slightly naughty. Okay, I wouldn't go like definitely not
- 3:30Speaker 4: like the crazy stuff that has been out there, Like
- 3:34Speaker 4: no swallowing of fish, No, like you know, ditching you
- 3:37Speaker 4: out of beach in the dark, Like there's nothing like that.
- 3:40Speaker 2: They didn't tie you, you know, butt naked to a
- 3:42Speaker 2: tree in the middle of the quad with duct tape.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Not that okay, Oh that well that okay, that's I'm
- 3:48Speaker 2: not saying anything from personal knowledge.
- 3:51Speaker 4: Yeah, it did very specific.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Now, I went to a Christian school. We didn't we
- 3:54Speaker 2: had clubs with Greek alphabet letters, but they wouldn't.
- 3:58Speaker 4: Let us call it fraternities group hangouts.
- 4:02Speaker 2: That's right. It's like people were at chug and kool aid.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Actually we had for our hazing. We had so you'd
- 4:11Speaker 2: have to eat a package of chips al Hoy. Those
- 4:14Speaker 2: are the Have you ever had a chips ol Hoy?
- 4:17Speaker 2: Those things are good, but they're painful, you know that
- 4:20Speaker 2: if your throat is dry or something, because they're I
- 4:22Speaker 2: don't know, they're very dry cookie.
- 4:25Speaker 4: You have to pair it with a milk.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Well, uh, this is where the hazing comes in. So
- 4:30Speaker 2: you have to eat a packet, a whole sleeve of
- 4:33Speaker 2: the chips Alhay cookies. Then you would have to drink
- 4:37Speaker 2: a gallon of whole milk, and of course you know
- 4:40Speaker 2: that's impossible, right, Yeah, your body can only consume so
- 4:43Speaker 2: at some point all of the cookies come back up. Yeah,
- 4:47Speaker 2: that was the hazing we had to do.
- 4:49Speaker 4: That is terrible. That's like that's like water boarding with milk.
- 4:52Speaker 2: I am. I do wonder though, what are some of
- 4:59Speaker 2: the crazy hazing rituals you know you had to do
- 5:02Speaker 2: in college? Right?
- 5:04Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 5:04Speaker 2: Because there's some crazy stuff out.
- 5:06Speaker 4: There, I know, I didn't go to one of these
- 5:08Speaker 4: SEC call, I bet you that's where they're at. And
- 5:10Speaker 4: I guess Penn State's going to be added to this
- 5:11Speaker 4: list here. But like the SEC like Alabama Ole Miss,
- 5:15Speaker 4: they probably have some crazy, crazy stories.
- 5:18Speaker 2: So and because this weekend it's rush week, so all
- 5:21Speaker 2: of the fraternities and sororities and it is a huge deal,
- 5:23Speaker 2: like the University of Alabama. Have you seen some of
- 5:26Speaker 2: the videos.
- 5:27Speaker 4: Yes, unfortunately.
- 5:28Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's funny because Meghan Basham is uh and
- 5:32Speaker 2: this sort of all ties in together. But Megan Basham
- 5:37Speaker 2: really got upset. She's like a Christian leader, a conservative lady,
- 5:42Speaker 2: and she's really upset because some of the sorority girls
- 5:47Speaker 2: are are dancing like their oh what's the word I'm
- 5:51Speaker 2: looking for here in their promotional videos, they're they're dancing
- 5:55Speaker 2: like they're strippers or using the modern vernacular, hose. I mean,
- 6:04Speaker 2: that's it. I mean, that's what she's all upset about, right,
- 6:07Speaker 2: And and they are I will say scantily clad, but
- 6:14Speaker 2: they are wearing clothes and some could argue that it's
- 6:18Speaker 2: very clever choreography. I guess I don't see the young
- 6:22Speaker 2: men at like the University of Alabama complaining about all
- 6:26Speaker 2: of this. But maybe I'm just so anyway, Meghan Basham
- 6:32Speaker 2: here's what she wrote. She said, I say this, Oh
- 6:35Speaker 2: these are the this was ASU? Is this Arizona State University?
- 6:40Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh Alpha Alpha Phi? So one of the
- 6:47Speaker 2: Trump girls and this is it's like a divide in
- 6:50Speaker 2: Trump world. So one of the Trump girls said, if
- 6:53Speaker 2: if this sorority rush video of hot ASU Alpha Phi
- 6:58Speaker 2: gals offends you, your either gay or a fats smelling
- 7:03Speaker 2: liberal with pink hair, to which Meghan Bashion replied, I
- 7:09Speaker 2: say this as someone who voted for Trump. Genius Maga simps.
- 7:15Speaker 2: The original video was not set to the YMCA. No
- 7:18Speaker 2: one was signaling Trump's support here. Now, can you admit
- 7:21Speaker 2: they look like strippers? Well? They's? It is a vibe,
- 7:28Speaker 2: I guess. But anyway, Megan goes on to say, I
- 7:32Speaker 2: am neither a gay man nor I have ever been
- 7:34Speaker 2: a liberal. And both of my daughters are dancers, and
- 7:37Speaker 2: if either one of them ever posted a video like this,
- 7:40Speaker 2: I would be mortified and we'd be having a serious
- 7:43Speaker 2: conversation about whether I would continue paying for their college education.
- 7:50Speaker 2: I'm not going to pay for my daughters to make
- 7:51Speaker 2: videos of themselves doing choreography that would be at home
- 7:56Speaker 2: in a strip club, and that's fair enough. So anyway,
- 8:01Speaker 2: there's controversy among the women of MAGA world over whether
- 8:05Speaker 2: or not eighteen year old girls should be, you know,
- 8:09Speaker 2: behaving like strippers. Maybe it's a fair conversation to have. However,
- 8:16Speaker 2: I will say this, I've been to these high school
- 8:20Speaker 2: basketball games. I've been to high school football games and Dylan,
- 8:25Speaker 2: what I saw along the sidelines no different than what's
- 8:29Speaker 2: in this video.
- 8:29Speaker 4: Yeah, they're not wearing more clothes in high school.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Unfortunately, the girls are in the college video are wearing
- 8:35Speaker 2: more clothes than the girls in high school. Yeah, and
- 8:39Speaker 2: I will say that, you know, and I have seen this,
- 8:42Speaker 2: and I'm just sitting there like, these parents are cheering, Oh,
- 8:47Speaker 2: look at Sally, She's so beautiful simulating oral sex right
- 8:52Speaker 2: in the middle of the gym. Go Sally, And You're like,
- 8:58Speaker 2: are you hearing yourself here? All right? What is going on?
- 9:02Speaker 2: And the funny thing is all these people will be
- 9:04Speaker 2: in church on Sunday.
- 9:06Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, it's been ironic.
- 9:10Speaker 2: This is why, this is why we don't have dancing
- 9:13Speaker 2: of the Baptist.
- 9:13Speaker 4: Church Oh no, yeah, hands in pockets please.
- 9:15Speaker 2: I'm just saying, so, are we that surprised all that
- 9:19Speaker 2: to say now that the sorority girls are behaving like strippers?
- 9:23Speaker 2: Are we really all that surprise that the frat boys
- 9:25Speaker 2: are selling cocaine? This story out of Penn State University
- 9:32Speaker 2: is insane, where fourteen young men college kids are now
- 9:39Speaker 2: facing charges in connection with an alleged cocaine trafficking. They
- 9:43Speaker 2: were trafficking cocaine at Penn State University, so the Attorney
- 9:47Speaker 2: General announcing that the students, they were all students. It
- 9:51Speaker 2: happened between twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four. The
- 9:54Speaker 2: fourteenth defendant is the father of one of the students
- 9:58Speaker 2: who is accused of hiding drugs and cash in a safe.
- 10:03Speaker 2: Authorities say at least four of the individuals charged our
- 10:06Speaker 2: students currently. Investigators alleged the senior fraternity members at Gustino
- 10:11Speaker 2: Abatellio you know he's with the mob, right, that's a
- 10:15Speaker 2: mob name and Thomas Robinson were the leaders of the operation.
- 10:20Speaker 2: They supplied the cocaine while others cut and packaged the drugs,
- 10:25Speaker 2: primarily at the Delta Is at Delta Upsilon Upsilon and
- 10:30Speaker 2: Sigma Kai fraternity houses. They apparently used pledges to cut
- 10:36Speaker 2: the cocaine. It was part of the hazing ritual. The
- 10:41Speaker 2: two men charged with making regular trips to Philadelphia and
- 10:44Speaker 2: New York for large quantities of coke. The Attorney General
- 10:48Speaker 2: said this was a coordinated and highly profitable drug trafficking crew,
- 10:52Speaker 2: revolving around two senior members of the fraternities, other fraternity brothers,
- 10:57Speaker 2: and pledges. The Attorney General said, in fact, according to
- 11:03Speaker 2: the evidence uncovered, cutting and packaging cocaine was for some
- 11:07Speaker 2: pledges and indoctrination into the fraternities. Wow, this is crazy.
- 11:14Speaker 2: I can't even I can't even imagine. I can't even
- 11:17Speaker 2: imagine what's going on inside those fraternity houses. I don't
- 11:21Speaker 2: get it. The father, Paul Robinson, charged with tampering with
- 11:26Speaker 2: evidence and hindering the investigation. I mean, and I know
- 11:29Speaker 2: college is expensive these days, but I don't know. So
- 11:33Speaker 2: there you go. We understand. The university says they're horrified.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Really really you didn't you really thought it was powdered donuts,
- 11:44Speaker 2: did you, mister university professor. I'm wondering how many faculty
- 11:48Speaker 2: were dropping by the frat house. That's what I want
- 11:51Speaker 2: to know where's park You know Parker is uh, Parker's
- 11:57Speaker 2: in a fraternity. We need to get park in here.
- 12:00Speaker 2: I've got questions. I have questions about this number one.
- 12:05Speaker 2: But in all honesty, I mean, this is insane. Parker,
- 12:10Speaker 2: get in here. I have questions. First of all, we're
- 12:14Speaker 2: gonna give you this cop and in the break we
- 12:16Speaker 2: need you to we got to do some testing here.
- 12:19Speaker 2: We've got to do some drug testing. Parker. Is this true?
- 12:23Speaker 2: Are you guys? Are you shocked here to find out
- 12:25Speaker 2: this fraternity is doing drugs?
- 12:28Speaker 5: It's crazy? I think now, I think I's doing mention,
- 12:31Speaker 5: Like it's something that you see more like a big
- 12:33Speaker 5: ten SEC school and like a Sanford where I'm at.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Oh so you guys are ye, but y'all are a
- 12:38Speaker 2: good Baptist school.
- 12:39Speaker 5: Yes, Like my fraternity does not haes a legendly and
- 12:43Speaker 5: it's not something like we tell people like obviously, like
- 12:45Speaker 5: you'll hear fraternities all over the country like yeah, we
- 12:47Speaker 5: don't haze, but like we actually do not haze and
- 12:50Speaker 5: that's comforting.
- 12:51Speaker 2: Is that true that it is? I mean, do you
- 12:53Speaker 2: call it something else other than hazeing? Like fellowship, no
- 12:56Speaker 2: prayer time?
- 12:59Speaker 4: You know, we can't actually ask part of these questions.
- 13:01Speaker 4: He cannot legally say that if.
- 13:04Speaker 2: Really So, even if you haze, you couldn't say that
- 13:07Speaker 2: you hate.
- 13:07Speaker 5: Yes, even like a hazing fraternity would tell you the
- 13:10Speaker 5: same answer I'm giving.
- 13:11Speaker 2: Oh, it's possible they're hazing Middelon.
- 13:16Speaker 5: There are some that hates its efford, but mine is not.
- 13:20Speaker 2: Wow. So what would the hazing involved? Like a Chris
- 13:23Speaker 2: you heard what we did, you know back in the
- 13:25Speaker 2: day with the milk and the chips a hoy, which,
- 13:28Speaker 2: by the way, after a gallon of milk, those chips
- 13:30Speaker 2: were going a hoy.
- 13:31Speaker 5: Yeah. I cannot imagine doing anything like that. I've seen
- 13:34Speaker 5: some interesting ones with some of the ones that Sanford
- 13:36Speaker 5: aren't as like harmful booze. Like there's one where they
- 13:41Speaker 5: make all the freshmen do a car wash, and so
- 13:44Speaker 5: they do it out in the like down on sorority
- 13:47Speaker 5: row a car wash, but like with their shirts off,
- 13:50Speaker 5: like they're using their bodies as the sponges.
- 13:52Speaker 2: O woh oh.
- 13:54Speaker 5: And so they do all that in front of the
- 13:55Speaker 5: sorority houses for a couple of hours.
- 13:57Speaker 2: Oh, I see, you guys make good money doing that
- 13:59Speaker 2: at Sandford.
- 14:00Speaker 5: Now, I'm not the word. That's not my fraternity park.
- 14:03Speaker 5: I get entertainment from driving past it every year.
- 14:06Speaker 2: Oh do you get your car washed?
- 14:08Speaker 5: I do not know. I can't like watch a bunch
- 14:10Speaker 5: of freshman guys get on top of my car.
- 14:12Speaker 2: I can see that. I can see it. So it
- 14:14Speaker 2: was I'm not gonna ask. That's what I thought.
- 14:18Speaker 6: This is.
- 14:20Speaker 5: That was my thought for us. It's like it's just
- 14:21Speaker 5: really working.
- 14:22Speaker 2: No, But it seems to me that it would like
- 14:26Speaker 2: leave a map, leave a mark. I mean, you know,
- 14:28Speaker 2: if you're too bad.
- 14:30Speaker 5: But yeah, especially if like they's like a hairy chest,
- 14:32Speaker 5: like I just wouldn't want that like on my car.
- 14:34Speaker 4: You have to go to an actual car wash.
- 14:37Speaker 2: Good lord man. All right, So so this is shocking
- 14:41Speaker 2: the Penn State of all places. I mean, I guess
- 14:44Speaker 2: maybe you got to do drugs if you want to
- 14:45Speaker 2: go to Penn State. I mean, that's a tough school.
- 14:48Speaker 5: I wouldn't think that'd be one of the qualifications that.
- 14:50Speaker 7: You know, I know.
- 14:51Speaker 2: And it's crazy though. Wow, So I didn't realize hazy
- 14:54Speaker 2: because a lot of these Christian schools now I have,
- 14:56Speaker 2: like the fraternities and everything. Those used to be no no's.
- 14:59Speaker 2: But now just about everybody's got the frat houses.
- 15:02Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of them are kind of introducing it now.
- 15:04Speaker 5: Some most Christian schools might I have the official Greek fraternities,
- 15:08Speaker 5: like I have friends at Harding or Lipskin where it's
- 15:11Speaker 5: not officially Greek affiliated, but luckily it Sanfrie it.
- 15:14Speaker 2: Is, so you get the history of it. All right, Well,
- 15:16Speaker 2: this is this is good today. I am curious, ladies
- 15:18Speaker 2: and gentleman that any of you have ever like done
- 15:20Speaker 2: the hazing. You know, I think back to the oh,
- 15:23Speaker 2: what was it Porky's which was like the big movie
- 15:26Speaker 2: of the nineteen seventies, and that was kind of like
- 15:29Speaker 2: the Quinton That was really I think everybody's introduction into
- 15:32Speaker 2: modern the modern era of chaos on on campus. But
- 15:37Speaker 2: there you go. All right, so Parker, y'all are on
- 15:39Speaker 2: the up and up is what you're saying. At Sanford
- 15:41Speaker 2: the frat houses are good. They're good, decent church going
- 15:45Speaker 2: young men.
- 15:46Speaker 5: It's nice because like not every fratorney has a house there,
- 15:50Speaker 5: so you don't only have like you're not gonna be
- 15:51Speaker 5: hazing on campus.
- 15:52Speaker 2: So are you on a house? Do you have like
- 15:53Speaker 2: a frat house? We do not.
- 15:54Speaker 5: There's only three that do at Sanford out of eight.
- 15:58Speaker 5: Oh okay, every single where he does. Just from that standpoint,
- 16:02Speaker 5: and then three of the eight fratorneys.
- 16:04Speaker 2: I'm just I'm fascinated by this fascinated by this story.
- 16:07Speaker 2: So anyway, all right, Parker may thank you. Parker. So
- 16:11Speaker 2: he's telling us that their fraterney.
- 16:13Speaker 5: Is on the up and up, up and up and
- 16:15Speaker 5: hazing free.
- 16:15Speaker 2: I love it, all right. Gotta take a break here,

- 16:27Speaker 2: We want to get the inside scoop in the break.
- 16:28Speaker 2: We'll be right back.

- 17:58Speaker 2: about Trump's accomplishing his agenda, when in fact He's done
- 18:03Speaker 2: a pretty darn good job of accomplishing his agenda.
- 18:06Speaker 9: He's the best, in my opinion, the best in history

- 18:43Speaker 9: not doing what what what they were what you were
- 18:46Speaker 9: talking about? First second, I'd been kicked off the campus.
- 18:52Speaker 9: If I've been part of that.
- 18:53Speaker 2: I hear you, Joe. I all right, Joe good, hear
- 18:56Speaker 2: in front of my friend Joe from Eli j big ramblin'
- 19:00Speaker 2: reck from Georgia Tech, a heck of an engineer. We'll
- 19:03Speaker 2: be right back, everybody, all right, Welcome back, everybody. This
- 19:18Speaker 2: is the Todd Starts Radio Show. So happy to have
- 19:20Speaker 2: you with us today. Write down our telephone number. You
- 19:23Speaker 2: will need this if you plan on calling into the
- 19:25Speaker 2: program today. Nine to oh one two six zero five,
- 19:28Speaker 2: nine to six. Of course, a big debate tonight in
- 19:33Speaker 2: the great state of South Carolina. You've got Darlene Graham
- 19:37Speaker 2: and Ralph Norman going toe to toe. Want to bring
- 19:40Speaker 2: into the conversation our good buddy, former state Representative Adam Morgan,
- 19:44Speaker 2: great conservative leader, also president of Majesty Music. Adam. Good
- 19:50Speaker 2: to have you with us today. Hello Adam, can you
- 19:58Speaker 2: hear me?
- 19:58Speaker 11: Now?
- 19:59Speaker 2: All right there you go? Good to have you with
- 20:01Speaker 2: Thanks for having me on, Adam. Let's just jump right
- 20:04Speaker 2: into this. Who are you backing tonight?
- 20:08Speaker 11: Well?
- 20:08Speaker 10: I'm all in for Ralph Norman. You know, I was
- 20:11Speaker 10: on his ticket as his lieutenant governor pick when he
- 20:13Speaker 10: ran for governor several months ago.
- 20:16Speaker 3: And I know him personally. I've worked with him.
- 20:18Speaker 10: He helped us on every major fight when I served
- 20:21Speaker 10: in the Legislature as chair of the Freedom Caucus, he
- 20:24Speaker 10: was there backing us up. And you know he actually
- 20:27Speaker 10: leads on fights. You know, every Republican says the same
- 20:30Speaker 10: things come election time, they all make the same promises.
- 20:34Speaker 3: Ralph has actually led the fight. Did you know?
- 20:35Speaker 10: He was the original sponsor of the Save America Act
- 20:38Speaker 10: in Congress in twenty twenty. So, I mean he's got
- 20:41Speaker 10: the record. And you know, Darlene seems like a nice lady.
- 20:44Speaker 10: She's never served in office, she's never supported conservative candidates openly.
- 20:49Speaker 10: She's never waited on really any major policy discussion whatsoever.
- 20:54Speaker 10: So I'm going to go with the proven, tried and
- 20:56Speaker 10: true conservative.
- 20:57Speaker 3: You know.
- 20:57Speaker 2: That's what puzzles me about her, and and honestly, her
- 21:01Speaker 2: behavior up on Capitol Hill. She's not answering questions from
- 21:05Speaker 2: the media. It's like she has a hedge around her
- 21:10Speaker 2: and I don't get that.
- 21:13Speaker 3: Well, I feel like I do get that.
- 21:15Speaker 10: I think you know you do that when you're worried
- 21:17Speaker 10: about somebody slipping up and if they can't answer questions
- 21:20Speaker 10: to reporters and to the American public, specifically the South
- 21:24Speaker 10: Carolinians who are going to vote you in and you're
- 21:27Speaker 10: going to represent for six years, that's how long this
- 21:29Speaker 10: term is. You better be able to answer questions. And
- 21:32Speaker 10: you shouldn't have a Senate seat just given to you. You know,
- 21:35Speaker 10: they joke around here, we don't have birthright senatorship in
- 21:39Speaker 10: this country, and we don't want it in South Carolina.
- 21:41Speaker 10: You know, we want you to answer tough questions, tell
- 21:44Speaker 10: us what you're going to do to be our representative,
- 21:46Speaker 10: have open debates.
- 21:47Speaker 3: So honestly, I will give her this. She's coming to the.
- 21:50Speaker 10: Debate tonight there was a lot of you know, people
- 21:53Speaker 10: wondering what was going to happen with that. But we'll
- 21:55Speaker 10: get to see them go head to head and make
- 21:57Speaker 10: their best pitches to South Carolina and now hopefully the
- 22:00Speaker 10: people will choose wisely.
- 22:02Speaker 2: Adam, Adam, what's the big issue that you guys are
- 22:05Speaker 2: gonna turned about there in South Carolina.
- 22:08Speaker 10: Well, there's so many issues. I think everyone's focus right
- 22:11Speaker 10: now is on the Save America Act, because if we
- 22:13Speaker 10: don't get our elections under control, we're going to lose
- 22:16Speaker 10: this country. I mean it may not be this week
- 22:18Speaker 10: or next week, but it might be in the next
- 22:20Speaker 10: few years. And you know, my kid's futures are on
- 22:23Speaker 10: the line. So a lot of people recognize that that bill,
- 22:26Speaker 10: which Ralph was the original author and sponsor in twenty twenty,
- 22:30Speaker 10: and if you remember, he received a lot of criticism
- 22:33Speaker 10: for sponsoring that because he was questioning election integrity and
- 22:37Speaker 10: even Republicans were saying, oh, that was extreme back then.
- 22:39Speaker 10: Now everybody's on you know, saying the same thing. But
- 22:42Speaker 10: that bill passed the House and got stuck in the Senate.
- 22:45Speaker 10: As many great bills do, they go to the Senate
- 22:47Speaker 10: and die, And so we need someone who will go
- 22:50Speaker 10: into the Senate and will actually force the issue, will
- 22:53Speaker 10: take on even their own majority leader Boon to actually
- 22:57Speaker 10: get some of these good policies passed. And that is
- 23:00Speaker 10: really what this election is about. You know, are we
- 23:02Speaker 10: going to risk it with sending you know, Darlene Graham
- 23:05Speaker 10: in there, who is untested, who doesn't I'd also argue,
- 23:09Speaker 10: doesn't know the ropes, doesn't know how the political system works.
- 23:12Speaker 10: She's been around it, she's never been in it. And
- 23:15Speaker 10: like I said, she's no conservative groups that I'm aware
- 23:17Speaker 10: of in South Carolina have ever interacted with her. She's
- 23:20Speaker 10: never supported on policies, she's never supported in elections. And
- 23:23Speaker 10: so am I going to risk it with somebody who
- 23:26Speaker 10: I have no clue where they're actually standing and what
- 23:28Speaker 10: they're going to do? Or am I going to go
- 23:30Speaker 10: with a guy who helped get it passed through the
- 23:32Speaker 10: House we can get to save America pass. Another huge
- 23:35Speaker 10: issue is this affordability issue, and that really goes back
- 23:38Speaker 10: to spending. The reason inflation is going crazy, the reason
- 23:41Speaker 10: we're having all these issues with housing and groceries and education,
- 23:46Speaker 10: everything that is subsidized by the government. The prices increase
- 23:50Speaker 10: and the federal government is constantly expanding, and we have
- 23:52Speaker 10: to have senators and congressmen who were willing to go
- 23:56Speaker 10: into Washington and speak up and cut spending actually offer
- 24:00Speaker 10: budget cuts. And Ralph has done that in the House,
- 24:03Speaker 10: and we need that in the Senate.
- 24:04Speaker 2: Are you guys, I'm just curious about the Republican I mean,
- 24:08Speaker 2: you guys are a red state. The reality is there's
- 24:11Speaker 2: been a lot of Republican inviting in South Carolina. We've
- 24:14Speaker 2: seen a lot of that happening in Tennessee now, where
- 24:18Speaker 2: you know, you had three people running for the governor.
- 24:21Speaker 2: In the Republican primary, Marshall Blackburn got forty three percent
- 24:26Speaker 2: of the vote. So again you're looking at mandates divided
- 24:31Speaker 2: Republican parties. What do we need to do to get
- 24:34Speaker 2: everybody on the same page here?
- 24:37Speaker 10: I think a bold conservative vision is what does that?
- 24:40Speaker 10: I think we've seen the playbook in Florida. If you're
- 24:44Speaker 10: looking at statewide politics, you know, Desandis has done that,
- 24:48Speaker 10: unified the elected officials, unified the party, and even swung
- 24:52Speaker 10: so many independent voters over to the Republican side. You know,
- 24:56Speaker 10: in his tenure, if you remember he barely won election
- 24:59Speaker 10: the first time and now he's skating through with massive
- 25:02Speaker 10: reelection numbers and voter registrations are at all time highs
- 25:05Speaker 10: in Florida. That's because of bold conservative vision and by
- 25:08Speaker 10: the way he leads on every conservative issue. President Trump
- 25:11Speaker 10: offered the same thing. That's why he was able to
- 25:13Speaker 10: win the popular vote in the last presidential cycle. And
- 25:16Speaker 10: so if we have bold leadership instead of this compromising,
- 25:20Speaker 10: unsure of themselves, always worried about the left calling them
- 25:22Speaker 10: whatever name, you know, if they push immigration policy, they
- 25:26Speaker 10: are races, so they don't want to talk about that,
- 25:28Speaker 10: or maybe they'll even do amnesty. Those kind of issues
- 25:31Speaker 10: are really at the core of the problems in the
- 25:33Speaker 10: Republican Party. And the way we fix it is by
- 25:35Speaker 10: electing bold, strong conservatives who are proud and actually believe
- 25:39Speaker 10: the things that they stick the slogans that they stick
- 25:41Speaker 10: on campaign materials. And Ralph Norman has done that and
- 25:44Speaker 10: that's why so many of us are really rallying around him.
- 25:47Speaker 10: And I think that's why you're seeing the polls he's up.
- 25:49Speaker 10: Even though Darlene has massive institutional support, I mean the
- 25:53Speaker 10: entire DC infrastructure from both parties, there's liberal packs that
- 25:57Speaker 10: are coming in dumping a million dollars that former head
- 26:00Speaker 10: of move on dot org is funding millions of dollars
- 26:03Speaker 10: worth of attack ads against Norman And why are they
- 26:06Speaker 10: doing that in a Republican Party because they don't want
- 26:09Speaker 10: DeSantis style and Trump style leadership.
- 26:12Speaker 2: Again. Adam Morgan a joining us from the great state
- 26:15Speaker 2: of South Carolina and a former state lawmaker there and
- 26:20Speaker 2: really a power broker in the conservative movement. You mentioned Florida,
- 26:24Speaker 2: and it's just remarkable the tens of thousands of people
- 26:28Speaker 2: that have registered to become Republicans as a result of
- 26:31Speaker 2: Ron DeSantis's leadership. And you wonder is does DeSantis have
- 26:37Speaker 2: a future as a possible presidential contender looking beyond President
- 26:42Speaker 2: Trump here.
- 26:43Speaker 10: I mean, I'm sure he's on the let he should
- 26:46Speaker 10: be on the list. The good thing is we have
- 26:48Speaker 10: such a deep bench in the Republican Party. We have
- 26:51Speaker 10: great options like Marco Rubio and obviously Vice President Vance
- 26:55Speaker 10: and Ron DeSantis. I think it'll be fascinating to see
- 26:57Speaker 10: who actually runs. But i's your hope that Ron de
- 27:01Speaker 10: Sanders has a future in the Republican Party, and I
- 27:03Speaker 10: think it's obvious that he will, because, you know, being
- 27:06Speaker 10: a governor of such a massive state and important state
- 27:09Speaker 10: and being so successful, if we, as Republican primary voters
- 27:14Speaker 10: have any brains whatsoever, we'll make sure that man stays
- 27:17Speaker 10: active and is an intelected office, continuing to put wins
- 27:21Speaker 10: up on the board, as I would say the same
- 27:22Speaker 10: for jd.
- 27:23Speaker 2: Vance. Yeah. Look, and again it's the challenge I think, Adam,
- 27:28Speaker 2: is that you've got the establishment wanting to retake their
- 27:32Speaker 2: party back. There. They're done with Trump, they're done with
- 27:35Speaker 2: the Maga movement, they're done with Freedom Caucus guys, and
- 27:38Speaker 2: they want their party back. The question is what does
- 27:42Speaker 2: that look like. Do you think they've got the numbers
- 27:44Speaker 2: to get their party back?
- 27:46Speaker 10: Well, they've got the money. That's the bad news. They
- 27:49Speaker 10: do have the money. The good news is a lot
- 27:51Speaker 10: of times we've been able to successfully win elections at
- 27:54Speaker 10: the state level in South Carolina for our legislators in
- 27:59Speaker 10: the Freedom caucuss simply going right to the people, and
- 28:02Speaker 10: I think people can see through a lot of this advertising.
- 28:05Speaker 10: But I will say that requires quality candidates. You have
- 28:08Speaker 10: to have good competent people running for opposite or conservatives,
- 28:11Speaker 10: and you have to have cover from the supporters and
- 28:14Speaker 10: the grassroots. So if you're listening to this kind of
- 28:17Speaker 10: radio program and trying to stay informed. Don't just be
- 28:20Speaker 10: a bystander listening and you voting. You've got to get
- 28:23Speaker 10: out and tell everybody you know in your sphere of influence. Hey,
- 28:26Speaker 10: get out and vote for the true conservative. So stay
- 28:28Speaker 10: informed and engaged. That's how we keep the republic.
- 28:32Speaker 2: All right, good stuff, Adam. We're going to be watching
- 28:34Speaker 2: that debate tonight. Ought to be a very interesting debate.
- 28:38Speaker 2: And we appreciate you joining us today.

- 31:20Speaker 2: video up at Todd Stearns dot com. What a crazy
- 31:24Speaker 2: story this is. So Sophie Cunningham was the only w
- 31:30Speaker 2: NBA player to honor the national anthem. Why am I
- 31:33Speaker 2: not surprised by this? I mean, these people, it's a
- 31:38Speaker 2: league of lowlifes. That's what the WNBA is, a league
- 31:42Speaker 2: of lowlives. So Sophie Cunningham, we've got the video. You
- 31:46Speaker 2: can go see it for yourself. She was the only
- 31:50Speaker 2: one from her entire team who stood with her hand
- 31:53Speaker 2: over her heart during the national anthem. They were playing
- 31:56Speaker 2: the Atlanta dream and the Atlanta Dreams didn't even to
- 32:00Speaker 2: show up. They weren't even on the court and they
- 32:03Speaker 2: couldn't be bothered. I know, I don't know what they
- 32:07Speaker 2: were doing in the locker room. I don't want to know.
- 32:11Speaker 2: I'm just saying. By the way, the w NBA also
- 32:16Speaker 2: catching fire over this girl, this woman rather and her daughter.
- 32:23Speaker 2: They were attending a w NBA game supporting Sophie Cunningham,
- 32:28Speaker 2: and they were told to cover up their T shirts.
- 32:30Speaker 2: One had like an xx x Y shirt and the
- 32:32Speaker 2: other had like a girl's you know, for the girl's
- 32:35Speaker 2: shirt or something like that. Anyway, let's Stena aut number five.
- 32:38Speaker 12: Playse and we were made to cover up our xx
- 32:44Speaker 12: x y shirts at this gags.
- 32:47Speaker 4: Yes, your shirt.
- 32:48Speaker 12: They gave us T shirts, remhiring overtime and told us
- 32:55Speaker 12: we had to leave, you know, says for the girl
- 32:58Speaker 12: cover our shirts.
- 33:01Speaker 3: This just happened.
- 33:02Speaker 5: Where were you sitting, uh, floor or three row?
- 33:07Speaker 12: See yeah, third row of floor?
- 33:10Speaker 5: Third and how much were your seats?
- 33:14Speaker 12: And we did nothing like we were not We were
- 33:17Speaker 12: just sitting there. I didn't make signs. I wanted to
- 33:20Speaker 12: make signs, but I didn't.
- 33:22Speaker 9: I did nothing.
- 33:24Speaker 13: I didn't notice during the game on the jumble tron,
- 33:26Speaker 13: they put up a woman wearing a shirt that said
- 33:28Speaker 13: protect trans rites or something.
- 33:30Speaker 14: She was one because she was made to zip up her.
- 33:32Speaker 13: Jacket, so she also had a zip uper jacket.
- 33:36Speaker 15: She did that's.
- 33:39Speaker 9: She shouldn't.
- 33:40Speaker 13: But they put her shirt on the jumble tron and
- 33:41Speaker 13: then it's almost like the message was made and they said,
- 33:44Speaker 13: now zip it up to make it seem like they're consistent,
- 33:46Speaker 13: but they never were. Yeah, and why have you spent
- 33:49Speaker 13: so much on tickets while I was in the.
- 33:50Speaker 4: Courphy to be here?
- 33:50Speaker 12: You support Sophie Cunningham and to sport women and women's
- 33:54Speaker 12: sports because it's just common sense.
- 33:56Speaker 4: And what's the relation here? That's my And are you
- 33:59Speaker 4: an athlete?
- 34:00Speaker 14: To be nil?
- 34:00Speaker 13: I had a bunch of ee surgery what sport I
- 34:02Speaker 13: did also added soccer?
- 34:03Speaker 16: I did all?
- 34:04Speaker 13: Yes, And did this issue ever come up like today?
- 34:06Speaker 4: Biological man I ever tried to play against.
- 34:08Speaker 12: No, we're from here, so it hasn't happened here a lot.
- 34:11Speaker 12: But I can't believe that just happened in Lanta, Georgia.
- 34:16Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy. This is what it seems as though
- 34:22Speaker 2: del The WNBA just goes out of its way to
- 34:25Speaker 2: try and alienate its fan base and lose as much
- 34:29Speaker 2: money as humanly possible.
- 34:31Speaker 4: Yeah, they're not really helping themselves at all here.
- 34:33Speaker 2: Right, I mean the whole point of this is nobody
- 34:36Speaker 2: was watching the games until the straight white chicks showed
- 34:39Speaker 2: up and they were like, oh, there's a little bit
- 34:42Speaker 2: of dare I say sex appeal in the WNBA.
- 34:46Speaker 4: Now, yeah, ironically, I think them making a problem out
- 34:51Speaker 4: of Sofa Cunningham is making people watch the WNBA more.
- 34:56Speaker 4: They're doing them They're not doing the right thing, but
- 34:59Speaker 4: they are getting the right result for doing the wrong thing.
- 35:01Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I yeah, I don't. I don't know how
- 35:04Speaker 2: long this goes on. I mean, if you know, if
- 35:06Speaker 2: you're Sophie Cunningham or a Caitlin Clark or any of
- 35:09Speaker 2: those other and there'll be somebody else coming along. If
- 35:12Speaker 2: you're a straight person or a white person, you know,
- 35:16Speaker 2: and you're you're not a lesbian, they're coming after you.
- 35:19Speaker 2: And so the question is, all right, how is how
- 35:21Speaker 2: much is it worth to endure that game after game
- 35:25Speaker 2: after game? And that really is I guess that's a
- 35:28Speaker 2: personal question.
- 35:29Speaker 4: I mean, it's not even the sport anymore. You're just
- 35:32Speaker 4: boxing white chicks at that point.
- 35:33Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like MMA with an orange ball.
- 35:37Speaker 4: I mean it's that's essentially what you're getting now with
- 35:39Speaker 4: the WNBA.
- 35:41Speaker 2: By the way, someone sent me speaking of MMA, I
- 35:44Speaker 2: guess there's like a there's like a redneck or hillbilly
- 35:47Speaker 2: fighting league. Have you heard about this? No, in eastern Tennessee.
- 35:51Speaker 2: And the problem is you start to fight without any teeth.
- 35:54Speaker 2: I think that's the that's my initial takeaway.
- 35:58Speaker 4: A lot of candidates there for that. It's a good
- 36:00Speaker 4: spot to have it.
- 36:01Speaker 2: I need to send you the I'll send you the provo.
- 36:04Speaker 2: I'm like, this cannot be real. And then I thought, oh, well, okay,
- 36:08Speaker 2: it just might be.
- 36:09Speaker 4: I don't know, you know, if they have like gloves
- 36:12Speaker 4: or anything, or is this just fist to face.
- 36:14Speaker 2: I think they may have gloves, but I'm not sure
- 36:17Speaker 2: it really matters. No, they don't have teeth, and I
- 36:20Speaker 2: don't think that was because of their boxing. Yeah, that's
- 36:23Speaker 2: well fair enough. You're just gonna gum it, Okay, knock
- 36:28Speaker 2: yourself out, fellas. All right, coming up a little bit later,
- 36:30Speaker 2: we're gonna be talking to Josh Jones. Also Christian Hawkins,
- 36:34Speaker 2: president of Students for Life. Her son got kicked out
- 36:38Speaker 2: of a coffee house for hosting a Students for Life gathering.
- 36:42Speaker 2: So they had like the kids got together to talk
- 36:45Speaker 2: about saving unborn babies and I don't know, drinking lattes
- 36:48Speaker 2: or whatever the kids drink these days, and they got
- 36:51Speaker 2: kicked out, kicked out of the coffee house and of
- 36:53Speaker 2: all places, Idaho. So we're gonna play some exclusive video
- 36:57Speaker 2: and audio from that, and we're gonna be talking to
- 36:59Speaker 2: Chris and Hawkins coming up in just a little while. Also,
- 37:03Speaker 2: don't forget, ladies and gentlemen, get your copy of The
- 37:06Speaker 2: Golden Age How Trump Saved America. It's available at your
- 37:10Speaker 2: favorite bookstore. You can also get a copy on Amazon.

- 37:25Speaker 2: All right, Hang tide, everybody, Hour two of the Big
- 37:27Speaker 2: Show coming up.
- 37:28Speaker 1: Next b from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
- 37:54Speaker 1: It's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Stars.
- 38:00Speaker 2: That's that, you know. I've I've been following this story
- 38:12Speaker 2: out of the the w n B A and Ennis
- 38:16Speaker 2: again term has thrown his name, you know, into the
- 38:20Speaker 2: end of that he really wants to try out for
- 38:24Speaker 2: the w n b A and join as a team.
- 38:28Speaker 2: Nis of course now most recently identifying as a woman.
- 38:33Speaker 2: But there's another basketball player as well who a w
- 38:37Speaker 2: an NBA star who has now identified as a woman,
- 38:43Speaker 2: and they're going to they're going to try out for
- 38:46Speaker 2: the w n b A draft. And Ennis is writing
- 38:50Speaker 2: on truce on rather on acts. He says that he's
- 38:55Speaker 2: spoken to a number of former NBA players, g league players,
- 38:59Speaker 2: and you're as and they've all said that if the
- 39:02Speaker 2: WNBA does not change the rules, they're ready to join
- 39:06Speaker 2: the movement and are considering coming out as women and
- 39:10Speaker 2: putting their names in the twenty twenty seven w NBA
- 39:14Speaker 2: draft now right now. The WNBA they held a summit
- 39:18Speaker 2: the other day. They're very perplexed. These are Mannish gals
- 39:23Speaker 2: and lesbians most by and large, aside from you know,
- 39:27Speaker 2: the good looking ones. What does Sophie Cunningham and Caitlin Clark,
- 39:31Speaker 2: among others. I'm not a big WNBA fan, never have been,
- 39:35Speaker 2: never will be. It's it's sort of an I don't know, Dylan.
- 39:41Speaker 2: I don't want to be rude or even and again
- 39:44Speaker 2: I mean, I don't want to cast dispersions on athletic prowess,
- 39:47Speaker 2: but it's kind of like a circus freak show.
- 39:51Speaker 4: I'll let you have that one. Yeah, no more comments
- 39:54Speaker 4: from me.
- 39:55Speaker 2: I just I mean, I don't understand. I mean, it
- 39:58Speaker 2: is what it is. It's kind of like lady softball.
- 40:00Speaker 2: It's there, it exists. So I and and who knows.
- 40:06Speaker 2: I may be wrong, and it may be one one
- 40:09Speaker 2: day in the next idload, two or three thousand years
- 40:14Speaker 2: that that lady softball will be generating crowds almost as
- 40:19Speaker 2: big as pickleball tournaments. I don't know. I may be wrong,
- 40:23Speaker 2: but I don't think I am here. So and I
- 40:27Speaker 2: looked at the w n B a for what it
- 40:30Speaker 2: was supposed to be, and I don't even know if
- 40:32Speaker 2: it was ever really what it was supposed to be,
- 40:34Speaker 2: because up until Caitlin Clark showed up, nobody, nobody knew
- 40:38Speaker 2: about the w NBA. They're not they're they're not making
- 40:42Speaker 2: all that much money. But anyway, Ennis says, hold up
- 40:47Speaker 2: a second, there's a reason why men now want to
- 40:50Speaker 2: identify as women. And again, the w NBA, they held
- 40:54Speaker 2: the summit. They can't figure out what the w stands
- 40:57Speaker 2: for they had a big meeting and they came away,
- 41:00Speaker 2: and we don't know. We get a good stand for
- 41:03Speaker 2: a wour wowser, I don't know, wooly Bear. They don't
- 41:10Speaker 2: know what that w stands for? Weezer. Maybe I don't know.
- 41:15Speaker 2: I don't know. They need to call Nancy Drew and
- 41:19Speaker 2: the Hardy Boys. It's an honest to goodness mystery. Get
- 41:24Speaker 2: what the lady from murder she wrote? Maybe she can
- 41:27Speaker 2: figure it out. So anyway, he says, look, understand this.
- 41:34Speaker 2: The NBA's G league. They pay players forty five thousand
- 41:38Speaker 2: dollars a year. The WNBA, the top players earned one
- 41:43Speaker 2: point four million dollars a year. He said, those men
- 41:47Speaker 2: could be earning an extra one point three million dollars
- 41:50Speaker 2: a year just by identifying as women. Rules are rules,
- 41:54Speaker 2: and right now the rule is, if you identify as
- 41:58Speaker 2: a woman, you can audition, you can try out for
- 42:00Speaker 2: the w n B A. I'm thinking about getting a
- 42:04Speaker 2: wig myself. Could you imagine?
- 42:08Speaker 4: I think you have to be good at basketball already.
- 42:10Speaker 2: I want to be a point guard.
- 42:12Speaker 4: Oh could be a sinner, you could be a strong,
- 42:16Speaker 4: you can be a strong for it.
- 42:17Speaker 2: I'm just I don't have much. I don't have much.
- 42:25Speaker 2: My my vertical needs some work.
- 42:27Speaker 4: We have some family members though, that could probably do
- 42:29Speaker 4: a pretty cool.
- 42:30Speaker 2: Well, that's true. I mean, you know, yeah, big Starns,
- 42:33Speaker 2: Little Starns, little stars and big Starns. I mean, what's
- 42:37Speaker 2: one six one six two?
- 42:39Speaker 4: Yeah, that's already dunking.
- 42:42Speaker 2: Yeah, he could shave his legs and put on a wig.
- 42:44Speaker 2: He could. Yeah, I can see that happening.
- 42:46Speaker 4: Millions of dollars this way.
- 42:48Speaker 2: Again, ladies and gentlemen, I think this is the best
- 42:51Speaker 2: way to address this absurdity is just to embrace it
- 42:56Speaker 2: and go for it. And the fact of the matter is,
- 43:00Speaker 2: the fact of the matter is they're going to come
- 43:03Speaker 2: to terms with the realization very soon when the entire
- 43:07Speaker 2: WNBA is made up of men, that this was all
- 43:11Speaker 2: a joke. That's what it is. It's a great, big joke.
- 43:16Speaker 2: So I say, good for you, men of the NBA,
- 43:19Speaker 2: it's time to it's sorry. I just saw a photograph
- 43:24Speaker 2: of all these guys in wigs. They're they're not classically beautiful,
- 43:30Speaker 2: they're just but ugly, but they're prettier than some of it. Well,
- 43:34Speaker 2: never mind, I'm not going to go down there. I
- 43:36Speaker 2: don't want to get into too much trouble, so anyway,
- 43:39Speaker 2: a well done, Men of the NBA. Nine oh one
- 43:43Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh
- 43:46Speaker 2: one two six zero five, nine two six. I want
- 43:49Speaker 2: to play this audio. This is from the founder of BUCkies.
- 43:54Speaker 2: You know, they've just opened up a new store up
- 43:58Speaker 2: in somewhere at Arkansas off Governor Sarah Sanders was there.
- 44:02Speaker 2: She was chomping the brisk at. People were standing in
- 44:05Speaker 2: line to get the beaver nuggets. Anyway, the founder, here's
- 44:08Speaker 2: what he had to say, kind of loving.
- 44:10Speaker 6: We have a lot of opportunities, we're growing, we're building
- 44:14Speaker 6: in a lot of places. But when you find a
- 44:18Speaker 6: conservative business friendly state with the phenomenal workforce, it makes
- 44:25Speaker 6: a difference. And I'm starting to realize life's too short
- 44:28Speaker 6: to try to build in places that people don't appreciate
- 44:32Speaker 6: what you're bringing, versus a place like this where people
- 44:35Speaker 6: do appreciate what you're building. So that leadership, that concept,
- 44:40Speaker 6: that idea of conservative business friendly, family oriented concept works
- 44:47Speaker 6: so much better if it trickles down from the very leadership,
- 44:51Speaker 6: from the very top at the governor's office, at the congressman,
- 44:56Speaker 6: at the senator, at the mayor, the representatives. And so
- 45:02Speaker 6: what we found when we got here Biton was a
- 45:06Speaker 6: business friendly town. They said, let's roll up our sleeves
- 45:09Speaker 6: and let's go get a Bucky's bill.
- 45:12Speaker 2: Yeah. I love this story. Right now, there are about
- 45:15Speaker 2: fifty four BUCkies and they're all in the Southern States
- 45:19Speaker 2: except for one in Colorado. And he said, look, I'm
- 45:22Speaker 2: not in it for the numbers. He says, they're just
- 45:25Speaker 2: having fun. They want to enjoy themselves. They want to
- 45:28Speaker 2: provide great service, and they do. The bathrooms are sparkling,
- 45:34Speaker 2: the food is great, the atmosphere, and they built an
- 45:38Speaker 2: entire brand around this beaver. And it all started back
- 45:42Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty two in a place called Late Jackson, Texas.
- 45:48Speaker 2: And this is it's a great story. But I love
- 45:51Speaker 2: his I love what he said there because I hate
- 45:55Speaker 2: to break it to you, you folks in New York State,
- 45:57Speaker 2: You're not getting a BUCkies in California. Ain't gonna be
- 46:01Speaker 2: no beaver nuggets for you. Nope, hands off the beaver
- 46:05Speaker 2: nuggets not gonna happen. So the guy's name, by the way,
- 46:10Speaker 2: is Archie Aplin. He is a graduate of what Texas
- 46:15Speaker 2: A and m and they wanted to create a space
- 46:18Speaker 2: where customers felt like they were being taken care of.
- 46:23Speaker 2: And he says, they're quite serious about the business operation.
- 46:27Speaker 2: They produce a product and they produce an experience for
- 46:31Speaker 2: their customers, and I just think this is a brilliant,
- 46:36Speaker 2: brilliant thing they're doing and making millions of dollars, millions
- 46:40Speaker 2: of dollars. You know, I'm excited, Dylan, because we're getting two,
- 46:44Speaker 2: one on either side of Memphis, one in West Memphis, Arkansas,
- 46:47Speaker 2: and the other somewhere west of the city.
- 46:51Speaker 4: I'm pretty stoked as well. I mean, Bucki's is one
- 46:53Speaker 4: of my favorite places to be when I travel, and
- 46:56Speaker 4: now I don't have to go that far.
- 46:57Speaker 2: And you can go in and order the meats. You know,
- 47:00Speaker 2: you can go grocery shopping at a Bucki's.
- 47:02Speaker 4: An need breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
- 47:04Speaker 2: The prices are great too. Yeah, And he said, the
- 47:08Speaker 2: secret to the secret sauce here, it's customer service. And
- 47:12Speaker 2: he said, that's it. He says that he goes into
- 47:14Speaker 2: the stores and that's what he's looking at. He's looking
- 47:17Speaker 2: at the faces of the customers and if they're happy, well,
- 47:20Speaker 2: you know what he's going to be happy. So it's
- 47:23Speaker 2: just a terrific story and it's really a great American
- 47:26Speaker 2: success story as well. So, by the way, the philanthropy
- 47:31Speaker 2: is off the charts there donate millions of dollars to
- 47:35Speaker 2: charity over at BUCkies. So God bless you guys. Well done.

- 48:54Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six, Oakwood,
- 48:58Speaker 2: Georgia NS. Listening to us W dun h Dennis, what's
- 49:04Speaker 2: on your mind?
- 49:05Speaker 17: Hey?
- 49:06Speaker 16: God, met you one time at smoke House Barbecue there
- 49:09Speaker 16: in Oakwood, Georgia. I think you signed a book for
- 49:14Speaker 16: me about biscuits.
- 49:16Speaker 2: I believe, anyway, our daily bescuit devotions with a draw. Yes,
- 49:21Speaker 2: I remember that that was a great, great day.
- 49:24Speaker 16: You know, that place closed down the Lady Soldier property.
- 49:28Speaker 16: Someone else came in with another barbecue restaurant didn't make it,
- 49:34Speaker 16: and it didn't take them long to figure out. Everyone
- 49:38Speaker 16: couldn't figure out why this barbecue wasn't didn't meet the
- 49:42Speaker 16: standards of the old barbcue place.
- 49:44Speaker 7: But anyway, getting on to my.
- 49:46Speaker 16: Point, I have pondered for more than a year now.
- 49:50Speaker 16: The United States has so much disruption. And you know,
- 49:54Speaker 16: I'm a very conservative type person. I've been to Israel
- 49:59Speaker 16: four times, served on military bases over there, etc.
- 50:03Speaker 7: Etc.
- 50:04Speaker 16: And you know, I try to be conservative in thought
- 50:07Speaker 16: and politics, but I fonder in today's world, why we
- 50:13Speaker 16: don't decet or kick out some of these states that
- 50:18Speaker 16: are so rambunctious to destroy our country with their beliefs
- 50:25Speaker 16: and their politics. We could go along ways down the
- 50:30Speaker 16: road if we got rid of a few of them.
- 50:31Speaker 16: I won't mention any of them by name, but perhaps
- 50:35Speaker 16: you have a decent argument about that that would answer
- 50:42Speaker 16: my question. You know, I know this union was formed,
- 50:47Speaker 16: but not everybody believes in the Union anymore.
- 50:50Speaker 14: Todd.
- 50:51Speaker 16: I'll relax and let you spoke.
- 50:55Speaker 2: Well, well, Dennis, let me. I want to make sure
- 50:56Speaker 2: I'm going in the right direction here. So you're suggesting
- 50:59Speaker 2: that maybe we should allow some of these more liberal
- 51:03Speaker 2: states to secede from the Union, correct, Yeah, I don't.
- 51:10Speaker 2: I don't actually we should.
- 51:12Speaker 16: I think we should even have them, h syceede from
- 51:16Speaker 16: the Union.
- 51:16Speaker 2: I got no problem with that. Who would you like
- 51:18Speaker 2: to Is there any particular state in general that has
- 51:21Speaker 2: comes to mind?
- 51:23Speaker 16: You're gonna draw it out of me, aren't you?
- 51:25Speaker 18: I am?
- 51:26Speaker 2: Are you gonna draw it out of you?
- 51:28Speaker 3: Now?
- 51:28Speaker 16: I used to do a lot of business with upstate
- 51:31Speaker 16: New York people, a tremendous amount of business. I respect
- 51:34Speaker 16: and love those people. Wouldn't give you a plug nickel
- 51:37Speaker 16: for the uh metropolitan area down around New York. Uh,
- 51:43Speaker 16: there's California. There's some good people out there. It's a
- 51:46Speaker 16: beautiful state. They have a large uh production of agriculture.
- 51:54Speaker 16: But the left coast out there, Uh, it's kind of weird.
- 51:58Speaker 16: I was in Portland one time, riding up down Interstate five,
- 52:02Speaker 16: and there was a sign on the side of the
- 52:06Speaker 16: interstate say, Keith Portland.
- 52:07Speaker 6: Weird.
- 52:09Speaker 16: My daughter spent a year out there about six years
- 52:13Speaker 16: ago after she graduated from nursing school. Wouldn't want her
- 52:17Speaker 16: to be out there. Now. She's not out there now.
- 52:20Speaker 16: She came home back to Georgia to live. But you
- 52:25Speaker 16: know there's Minnesota misbehaving.
- 52:28Speaker 11: Uh.
- 52:29Speaker 16: You know, we got we got a lot of states
- 52:31Speaker 16: that are just anti America anymore with the majority of
- 52:36Speaker 16: the people, and God bless those who don't see it
- 52:41Speaker 16: that way. And they're welcome to move to conservative minded
- 52:45Speaker 16: state if they so choose.
- 52:48Speaker 2: I see how you fumped this out, because I think
- 52:49Speaker 2: that's a very you know, that's very generous. So if
- 52:52Speaker 2: you're living in for example, California, you could move and
- 52:56Speaker 2: we would welcome you into you know, you could still
- 52:58Speaker 2: stay in the United States, just not living whatever California.
- 53:02Speaker 2: You know, maybe Mexico reclaims California. I don't know. You know,
- 53:07Speaker 2: it's interesting, Dennis, that you bring this up, because there
- 53:10Speaker 2: are a lot of conversations being had. I know, for example,
- 53:14Speaker 2: parts of Oregon want to secede from from or the
- 53:19Speaker 2: state of Oregon because they're conservative and Oregon's liberal. We're
- 53:24Speaker 2: watching this unfold right now in Illinois. I was reading
- 53:28Speaker 2: a report just the other day, Dennis that a group
- 53:32Speaker 2: of people in Illinois are trying to secede. So they
- 53:36Speaker 2: want to break off Chicago. That is, so they they
- 53:41Speaker 2: don't want Chicago and Illinois anymore because the rest of
- 53:44Speaker 2: the state is very conservative, it's rural, and they feel like,
- 53:48Speaker 2: you know that Chicago consumes every you know, all of
- 53:52Speaker 2: their tax money. So you've got people there in Illinois.
- 53:56Speaker 2: This is it's an interesting idea, Dennis, and I I'm
- 54:00Speaker 2: sure folks may have a thought or two about that.
- 54:03Speaker 2: I would say, let's keep New York State. We could
- 54:05Speaker 2: just jettison New York City and be done with that.
- 54:08Speaker 2: So there you go, Dennis, Thank you for the call.
- 54:12Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
- 54:15Speaker 2: is not It's really not the first time that those
- 54:19Speaker 2: kinds of ideas have been thrown around. But I like
- 54:24Speaker 2: the idea again, What exactly does New York City offer
- 54:29Speaker 2: to the United States of America right now? It's about
- 54:32Speaker 2: to become a communist city. Let's go to Salem, Oregon,
- 54:37Speaker 2: k y k N our great affiliate there. Frank is
- 54:40Speaker 2: on the line. And Frank had a wonderful conversation with
- 54:43Speaker 2: the lovely miss Denise. She had me on the show yesterday. Yes,
- 54:50Speaker 2: all right, what's on your mind, Frank?
- 54:52Speaker 19: Well, you know, with all this garbage with the w NBA, yes,
- 54:57Speaker 19: you know, and it can't determine what it was his.
- 55:01Speaker 19: So these men are coming out and saying, yeah, I'm
- 55:03Speaker 19: a woman, so give me one hundred thousand dollars a
- 55:06Speaker 19: game or whatever, you know, pay me the money. And
- 55:11Speaker 19: you know, we even had a course of Supreme Court
- 55:13Speaker 19: justice couldn't define what a woman is, and no, no
- 55:17Speaker 19: Democrat can so. And the Democrats are always saying, believe
- 55:23Speaker 19: in the science, you know, that's what we are. So well,
- 55:29Speaker 19: drop the w and put x x.
- 55:32Speaker 2: N B A oh, I oh, that's very clever. So
- 55:37Speaker 2: like x X NBA is supposed an x Y n
- 55:40Speaker 2: B A.
- 55:42Speaker 19: Right, and I don't like that bringing that up. Then
- 55:46Speaker 19: we should have the men's NBA should be the x Y.
- 55:51Speaker 2: Frank, I think you may be onto something here. Dribbling
- 55:56Speaker 2: balls by chromosomes. I love that. Uh, Frank, well done?
- 55:59Speaker 2: You you what are we shaking our heads out here?
- 56:03Speaker 4: I don't think that's what he meant.
- 56:04Speaker 2: No, oh, oh, that's not what he meant. Oh my dad,
- 56:09Speaker 2: it's the drugs. I'm still on the drugs. We'll be
- 56:12Speaker 2: right back, all right. Welcome back, everybody. This is the
- 56:32Speaker 2: Tom Starns Radio Show. Great to have you with us.
- 56:35Speaker 2: I want to go right away to our Patriot Mobile
- 56:37Speaker 2: newsmaker line and say hello to our good friend. He
- 56:40Speaker 2: is the chief political strategist for our radio network, Josh Jones. Josh,
- 56:45Speaker 2: Hope you're doing good today. I don't think we've got Josh.
- 56:53Speaker 2: Let's we got we got Josh?
- 56:56Speaker 5: Hey, Tod, how are you all right?
- 56:57Speaker 2: There? We go? Josh doing good, doing good? So look
- 57:01Speaker 2: we've been talking. I'm just really intrigued by this story
- 57:04Speaker 2: out of Penn State. Fourteen fraternity brothers at Penn State
- 57:09Speaker 2: have been arrested and alleged cocaine trafficking ring, and Josh
- 57:14Speaker 2: apparently they used the they used the pledges to cut
- 57:19Speaker 2: the cocaine and package the cocaine as part of their
- 57:23Speaker 2: hazing ritual. Now, Josh, you went to Liberty University. Did
- 57:28Speaker 2: you guys have the fraternities there at Liberty?
- 57:31Speaker 17: No, we didn't have really, we didn't have really any
- 57:33Speaker 17: of the fraternities or at the Greek life of that
- 57:35Speaker 17: sort of thing. So I can't speak to it firsthand,
- 57:37Speaker 17: but I mean that's pretty crazy stuff out of Penn State.
- 57:42Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm fairly yes, I'm pretty certain Liberty students are
- 57:45Speaker 2: much more well behaved. Is it true that you guys
- 57:47Speaker 2: had like curfews and everything.
- 57:49Speaker 17: Yeah, Liberty gets I mean, we definitely we have this thing.
- 57:52Speaker 17: It's called the Liberty Way. It's like the student I
- 57:54Speaker 17: contract with the university basically that you have to sign
- 57:57Speaker 17: before you start. Sounds like a curfew and other things.
- 57:59Speaker 17: And again it's like a really tough rap of like, Oh,
- 58:01Speaker 17: Liberty is so strict. I mean, it's definitely strictter than Olus,
- 58:04Speaker 17: Penn State or some other schools.
- 58:06Speaker 2: But yeah, we.
- 58:07Speaker 17: Technically had a curfew. Did they really enforce it? I
- 58:10Speaker 17: guess it depends on who you are A was, but.
- 58:13Speaker 2: Oh so yeah, so what what like? You guys had
- 58:15Speaker 2: to be in like at what nine thirty or ten
- 58:17Speaker 2: o'clock at night or I.
- 58:19Speaker 17: Think it was if I remember correctly, I think you
- 58:22Speaker 17: had to be back at your dorm by eleven pm
- 58:24Speaker 17: on school nights and on the weekend, I think it
- 58:26Speaker 17: was midnight.
- 58:27Speaker 2: Oh wow, I remember correctly, Dylan. How would you af
- 58:30Speaker 2: faired at Liberty University?
- 58:32Speaker 4: Pretty well? I was not a rambunctious kid, but I
- 58:35Speaker 4: mean knowing that I had to be in bed at
- 58:37Speaker 4: a certain time would have probably made me want to
- 58:39Speaker 4: not be in bed at a certain time.
- 58:41Speaker 2: So it would make you rebellious.
- 58:43Speaker 4: Oh probably rebel if I rules there.
- 58:45Speaker 2: Yeah, that that makes sense. That makes sense. Well, very good.
- 58:49Speaker 2: Well I'm glad to know this. I did not recall
- 58:52Speaker 2: seeing fraternities when I was there at Liberty. I know
- 58:56Speaker 2: the school, the Christian school I went to, we did
- 58:58Speaker 2: have a fraternities, and they were pretty wild back in
- 59:02Speaker 2: the day. I'll just leave there. They were pretty wild
- 59:04Speaker 2: back in the day. So there you go. Josh, We're
- 59:08Speaker 2: following a couple of big stories tonight. Of course, we
- 59:11Speaker 2: have primaries across the country, Florida, all eyes on Florida.
- 59:17Speaker 2: What do we need to be looking out for there?
- 59:20Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean the big race obviously tonight in Florida
- 59:22Speaker 17: is the governor's primary. I think you're going to see
- 59:26Speaker 17: see in the numbers Byron Donald's is going to win
- 59:29Speaker 17: the nomination down there and going to become governor after
- 59:32Speaker 17: the Santis leaves office. Yes, Trump's endorsement, a lot of
- 59:35Speaker 17: the Republicans of Florida are supporting him, so I think
- 59:37Speaker 17: that's a pretty sure up race for him. I think
- 59:40Speaker 17: a big story tonight that maybe the mainstream medium folks
- 59:43Speaker 17: aren't going to necessarily be talking about as much as
- 59:45Speaker 17: some of these individual races is the fact that this
- 59:48Speaker 17: is the first election since Florida redistricted, so this will
- 59:52Speaker 17: be the first time that we have any primaries and
- 59:54Speaker 17: some of these new districts that exist, so you're potentially
- 59:57Speaker 17: going to have four more Republicans from Florida, you know,
- 1:00:00Speaker 17: in the next Congress, and it'll be interested to see
- 1:00:03Speaker 17: kind of, you know, what the turnout is in these
- 1:00:05Speaker 17: new districts and kind of being an indication of how
- 1:00:07Speaker 17: competitive these seats could or you know, may not be
- 1:00:10Speaker 17: this November.
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: And on the Democrat side, there are a couple of
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: progressives that are that are challenging Democrats. I would say,
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: I guess liberal Democrats. So that'll be interesting to watch
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: those racis play out as well.
- 1:00:24Speaker 17: Definitely. Yeah, you'll see in Florida, and you know, the
- 1:00:27Speaker 17: more primaries we have over the next a little bit
- 1:00:29Speaker 17: leading up to November, you're still having this civil war
- 1:00:31Speaker 17: going on within the Democratic Party between the Democratic Socialists,
- 1:00:35Speaker 17: which is the aoc Bertie Sanders, you know, crazy wing
- 1:00:39Speaker 17: of the party, and then you're more traditional Democrats, you know,
- 1:00:41Speaker 17: liberal Democrats at that, but more traditional Democrats who are
- 1:00:45Speaker 17: fighting on for survival. Frankly, So we'll see how this
- 1:00:48Speaker 17: five plays out in Florida. Florida you have a much
- 1:00:50Speaker 17: more heavy Latino population that's less obviously a fan of socialism.
- 1:00:55Speaker 17: After you know, all these folks in Florida came from
- 1:00:57Speaker 17: Cuba or you know these other communistic tatorships Venezuela and
- 1:01:01Speaker 17: Latin America who I think are a little bit more
- 1:01:04Speaker 17: apprehensive to the idea of Lantia is so called socialists.
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: So the weirdest campaign race of all I think is
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: out of a Laska where they've got a primary. And
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: what's really bizarre is you've got two guys with the
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: same name running for the Senate. So Senator Dan Sullivan
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: is going up against another guy named Dan Sullivan and
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: they try to get that the second Dan Sullivan kicked
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: off the ballot that does like, Nope, he's legit. You
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: got to have him on the ballot.
- 1:01:35Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, I think that's only should be the real
- 1:01:37Speaker 17: Dan Sullivan. One that's currently a senator should be just fired.
- 1:01:42Speaker 17: It is a crazy phenomenon to have its in politics.
- 1:01:44Speaker 17: Sometimes there's a couple of races I've worked on in
- 1:01:47Speaker 17: the past where they had the same last name. Luckily
- 1:01:49Speaker 17: it was a different first name, so you could brand
- 1:01:50Speaker 17: him a little bit differently. But yeah, I mean, that'd
- 1:01:53Speaker 17: be an interesting one in Florida. And I just to
- 1:01:54Speaker 17: see how many people may accidentally check his box instead.
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: You've got Dan. His name is Dan Jason compared to
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: Dan Sullivan. This guy's the retired teacher from Petersburg, a
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: little island community. He said he was just really frustrated
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: with the incumbent and decided to run. So it's you're
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: going to be So the sitting US Senator in Alaska
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: is Dan S. Sullivan and then the guy with no
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: party affiliation is Dan J. Sullivan. So good luck trying
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: to figure that out. Yeah, it'd be a fun one
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: to see. You know, I'm curious, and we've got Josh
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: Jones with us, our chief political strategist, Josh the you've
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: been covering races. What's the mood of the country right now?
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: I know the President came out a few days ago
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: and said Americans just need to be okay with paying
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: four dollars for gasoline. Looks like the war is going
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: to continue to linger on. What's the mood of the
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: country out there?
- 1:02:55Speaker 17: Yeah, I think a lot of voters feel disaffected at
- 1:02:58Speaker 17: the put it mildly with the current state of things
- 1:03:01Speaker 17: across the country right now, whether it's the war in
- 1:03:03Speaker 17: the Middle East, or you know, the cost of living, affordability,
- 1:03:05Speaker 17: et cetera, et cetera.
- 1:03:06Speaker 4: The list goes on and on.
- 1:03:07Speaker 17: I think a lot of voters are feeling a little
- 1:03:09Speaker 17: disappointed of you know, how things are currently on the
- 1:03:12Speaker 17: political environment. Look, we still have a couple of months
- 1:03:16Speaker 17: where you know, under one hundred days, so it's closing in.
- 1:03:18Speaker 17: We still got a couple of months of the election.
- 1:03:20Speaker 17: The mood of the country, you know, could shift, it
- 1:03:22Speaker 17: might not. Who knows. We have you know, a political eternity,
- 1:03:25Speaker 17: so to speak, until the election. But I think, you know,
- 1:03:29Speaker 17: talk working in these races across the country. You know,
- 1:03:31Speaker 17: whether you're in Virginia, Texas or New Mexico, is affordability.
- 1:03:35Speaker 17: That's what people are really caring about right now. And
- 1:03:37Speaker 17: I think, look, the president, you know, he may be
- 1:03:40Speaker 17: right from a strategic thing, well, he gets more briefings
- 1:03:42Speaker 17: and you know, has much more knowledge than the rest
- 1:03:44Speaker 17: of us typically on what the state of affairs are
- 1:03:47Speaker 17: in the country, but also in the world, you know,
- 1:03:49Speaker 17: on how that relates the gas prices and you know
- 1:03:52Speaker 17: how much everything else costs. But I don't know if
- 1:03:54Speaker 17: the message voters want to hear right now is essentially
- 1:03:56Speaker 17: suck it up.
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: It is what it is. Yeah, I think that's that's
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: a fair point. Josh. There's there's another survey out there
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: that shows a majority of Democrats are embracing the socialist movement.
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: Are are you seeing that are and what do you
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: think is causing all of that?
- 1:04:15Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean the numbers are right. The Democratic Party
- 1:04:19Speaker 17: has just ran so far to the left, and a
- 1:04:20Speaker 17: lot of these voters are now okay with voting for
- 1:04:23Speaker 17: a socialists. And you know, typically the first one we
- 1:04:26Speaker 17: had that was a real one was AOC back in
- 1:04:29Speaker 17: twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen when she first got the office,
- 1:04:31Speaker 17: and it's like, well, that's a one off, you know,
- 1:04:33Speaker 17: that doesn't really count. Or Bernie Sanders, you know, the
- 1:04:36Speaker 17: crazy guy out from New England. He doesn't really count.
- 1:04:38Speaker 17: He's just a one off. But now you're seeing these
- 1:04:39Speaker 17: people pop up all over the place. And historically it's
- 1:04:42Speaker 17: been very democratic areas. But if you look at Michigan,
- 1:04:45Speaker 17: the Democratic nominee there that just won their race for
- 1:04:47Speaker 17: US Senate, uh do I'll said, he's I mean, he's
- 1:04:51Speaker 17: a you won't call himself a socialist, but he is.
- 1:04:54Speaker 17: Or if you look at Colorado and some of these
- 1:04:56Speaker 17: other states. So regardless of you know, if these people
- 1:05:00Speaker 17: I'll only already know I say, twenty of them in Congress,
- 1:05:02Speaker 17: so thirty of them in Congress after the election of November,
- 1:05:04Speaker 17: whatever the number may be, they're going to drag the
- 1:05:06Speaker 17: Democratic or there to drag the Democratic Party to the left,
- 1:05:10Speaker 17: whether they like it or not.
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: The establishment Democrats.
- 1:05:13Speaker 17: So look, I think if you're a moderate voter, moderate
- 1:05:15Speaker 17: Democrat even uh, you have to take that into real
- 1:05:18Speaker 17: consideration when you head into the ballot box this November.
- 1:05:21Speaker 17: But yeah, I mean, we'll see how this plays out.
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: All right, good stuff. By the way, johnsh you know
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: a lot of guys looking to make a quick buck
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: or two. I got to try out for the w NBA.
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: How are your basketball skulls.
- 1:05:35Speaker 17: I don't think they're I don't think they're tryout worthy.
- 1:05:37Speaker 17: I don't think you would make it to the trials.
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: I just figured i'd throw it out there, you know,
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: always looking for ways to get a few more bucks
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: in your pocket.
- 1:05:45Speaker 17: So maybe you never know, I mean maybe in another life.
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: There you go. All right, Josh, good seeing you, my friend,
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: and always great to have you on this show. Thanks time.
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: All right, we've got to take a quick break here
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: at Ladies and Gentlemen our telephone number nine oh one
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: two six zero five done, two six. I'm just curious,
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: how are you guys feeling. You know, we're a couple
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: of months out from the from the election. How are
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: you feeling? What is your mood? You know, we hear
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: from the pollsters all the time. But how are you
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: feeling about the midterms and the chances for the Republicans
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: to really make history and maintain control of Congress. Nine
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five done two six. That's
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero five,
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: nine two six. This is the todd startin show. All right.
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: By the way, be sure I want you to do
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: me a favor. I want you to go buy your
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: local Barnes and Noble and pick up a copy of
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: The Golden Age How Trump saved America, and you thank
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: them for all the work they're doing with us. They're
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: partnering with us doing our book signings. They'll be handling
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: the books sales and signing at the First Baptist Church
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: in Dallas this weekend. And we just greatly appreciate Barnes
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: and Noble working alongside conservative authors. We truly appreciate that.
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: Let's go to the phone lines. Let's say hello to
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: Murph in Germantown, Tennessee. K w A m our great
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: station there, Hi, Murph, what's going on? My friend?
- 1:07:22Speaker 20: Doctor Storne's always a pleasure regarding your commentary about how
- 1:07:27Speaker 20: do people feel? This old boy feels pretty good, and
- 1:07:32Speaker 20: I thought it was very interesting. On the over the
- 1:07:36Speaker 20: wire today this this outfit called mephis update, was interviewing
- 1:07:42Speaker 20: one of the ladies that's running for governor, Miss Green.
- 1:07:47Speaker 20: I think she's a local girl, and she's whining and
- 1:07:52Speaker 20: complaining about grocery prices and gas prices and all kinds
- 1:07:58Speaker 20: of prices. Well, yours truly has been in the labor
- 1:08:02Speaker 20: force for sixty plus years and hadn't had a problem.
- 1:08:07Speaker 20: Got laid off twice, but you know, made it recouped.
- 1:08:11Speaker 20: But I can't figure out any way or shape or form.
- 1:08:16Speaker 20: Maybe you can tell me where grocery prices and gas
- 1:08:21Speaker 20: prices or in the Tennessee State constitution or the US Constitution.
- 1:08:26Speaker 19: For that matter.
- 1:08:28Speaker 20: And if we're really really concerned about grocery prices and
- 1:08:33Speaker 20: gas prices, then why don't we lower the gas the
- 1:08:39Speaker 20: state gas tax and the federal gas tax and put
- 1:08:42Speaker 20: more money in more people's pockets.
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: You know, that is an interesting point. And Murphy, I'll
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: say this, the President does none directly have any influence
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: on what Kroger charges for your you know, baked beings,
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: your can of Bush's bake pans. He does directly control
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: the price of gas. And you're right when you look
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: a lot of the taxes that are loaded up at
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: the state level. Those that's the responsibility of your state lawmakers,
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: state legislature.
- 1:09:14Speaker 20: And one more thing, if you'll indulge, if some way,
- 1:09:20Speaker 20: shape or form with the media and so forth, cease
- 1:09:26Speaker 20: calling this a war in the Middle East. We are
- 1:09:29Speaker 20: not at war. Congress has not declared war. This is
- 1:09:34Speaker 20: an operation to prevent people that say Deaths to America
- 1:09:40Speaker 20: from loading up about twenty five or thirty Muslim whatever
- 1:09:46Speaker 20: you want to call them, Islamic whatever you want to
- 1:09:48Speaker 20: call them, loaded up with dynamite and walking into a
- 1:09:52Speaker 20: Kroger store or a mall and blowing themselves up. This
- 1:09:58Speaker 20: is what we're up against and people had better realize it.
- 1:10:03Speaker 20: What does hard to understand about Death to America?
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: Well, Black, no, it is. And I look, the White
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: House has been calling it a war, and you're right,
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: it's an operation, not a war. But the operation there
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: is no end in sight. And it just seems to
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: me we should have been able to go in there
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: and blow those people to smithereens and knock everything out
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: in the first couple of weeks, or at least the
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: first month of the operation, and now we're just you know,
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: I think we're going to starve them out. I think
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: that's ultimately the goal now is just to starve them out.
- 1:10:39Speaker 20: You know, Americans are very humane. We have no quarrel
- 1:10:44Speaker 20: with the eighty five million people that live there or
- 1:10:48Speaker 20: the regular, everyday working citizen. I don't anyway, and you
- 1:10:51Speaker 20: probably don't either. But it's the Islamic leadership that says
- 1:10:57Speaker 20: one hour of jihad is worth sixty hour of prayer.
- 1:11:02Speaker 20: Death to the unbeliever, cut off their right hand and
- 1:11:05Speaker 20: cut off their left foot, make them your slaves. They're
- 1:11:10Speaker 20: commanded to do that, period, So have at it.
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: Take care, Murph, thanks for calling in. Thank you for that.
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five, nine to six.
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: Let's go to Tallahassee, Florida Primary day in your state, Nate,
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
- 1:11:31Speaker 7: Yes, there it is. Indeed, Todd, I voted for Byron
- 1:11:34Speaker 7: Donald's for our governorship.
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:11:35Speaker 7: I think he's gonna win in November.
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I think fact, I think he's on his way
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: to a landslide.
- 1:11:42Speaker 7: I called him to talk about the coffee shop incident.
- 1:11:44Speaker 7: But I want to real quick, if I'm allowed to
- 1:11:46Speaker 7: stay with my general consensus for the midterms.
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: Are sure, Okay, yes, go right ahead.
- 1:11:51Speaker 7: I honestly feel like we're gonna have a much easier
- 1:11:54Speaker 7: path to keeping the Senate than we will the House
- 1:11:56Speaker 7: of Representatives. To be honest with you, now, that's interesting
- 1:12:00Speaker 7: competitive races. Well sorry, all right?
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: Why is that? I'm curious to here now?
- 1:12:05Speaker 7: Because if you look at the race in Michigan, outsaid,
- 1:12:08Speaker 7: I don't think he's as popular as the media wants
- 1:12:11Speaker 7: to prop him up to be.
- 1:12:12Speaker 2: Yeah, like, I know.
- 1:12:13Speaker 7: Some people in Michigan who lean Democrats, given they say
- 1:12:16Speaker 7: they aren't a fan of his progressive policies. And around
- 1:12:20Speaker 7: the country, I mean, look at Wisconsin. All the posters
- 1:12:22Speaker 7: had that socialist woman I forget her name, so please
- 1:12:25Speaker 7: forgive me. I think it was wrong at her winning
- 1:12:28Speaker 7: in a landslide, and it's that she lost. So polls
- 1:12:30Speaker 7: can be wrong, as we've been proven countless times. Heck,
- 1:12:33Speaker 7: most of the poles at Hillary winning in twenty sixteen.
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: Fair enough, that's a fair enough assessment. Yes, and go ahead, Yeah,
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: I looked. I think you may be onto something here, yes, sir.
- 1:12:46Speaker 7: And it's for that coffee shop incident where those pro
- 1:12:49Speaker 7: life women were thrown out of that coffee shop. When
- 1:12:52Speaker 7: is the pro life movement and as well as other
- 1:12:54Speaker 7: people who have been discriminated against on the right, finally
- 1:12:56Speaker 7: going to wake up and just say we're not going
- 1:12:58Speaker 7: to take any more of that, Like they need to
- 1:13:01Speaker 7: just start suing these businesses, and that is something they
- 1:13:03Speaker 7: don't do often enough.
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna be talking. We're gonna be talking to
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: Kristin Hawkins coming up here in the next hour, Nate,
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: and we will ask her that question directly. I think
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: that's it's a fair it's a fair question you raise, yes, sir, because.
- 1:13:19Speaker 7: I've been personally discriminated against on the basis of my
- 1:13:22Speaker 7: race here in Florida. And I won't mention any names,
- 1:13:25Speaker 7: but I like to volunteer in my spare time to
- 1:13:28Speaker 7: help people. And I had an organization blatantly discriminated against
- 1:13:31Speaker 7: me because I was white, because I'm whining.
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: Oh geez, really all right, Okay, yeah, that's just not right.
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: It's not right, Nate. We got to stand up for
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: this kind of stuff.
- 1:13:44Speaker 7: I tried to stand up for it, and they threatened
- 1:13:46Speaker 7: to call the police on me for harassment because I
- 1:13:48Speaker 7: wouldn't let it go. I kept fighting against it.
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: Well that that is just unacceptable and uh, Nate, you
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: gotta you gotta give us a holler back. And we'd
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: like to get some info on that and find out
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: what was going going on there. But Nate, I've got
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: to run here, my friend. We're coming up on the
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: top of the hour news. So thank you for listening.
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: Folks again, our number nine oh one two six zero

- 1:14:19Speaker 2: from you, and that's how we gauge. We don't believe
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: in the polls. I just the polls are all over
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: the place. But you guys know you're the real deal.
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: are number. That's nine oh one two six zero five,
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: nine two six The Todd Starn Show. We'll be right
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: back everybody.
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: America's Conservative Blowtorch's.
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: American Doug start. You know, these Muslims they really do
- 1:15:23Speaker 2: not like us, and by us, I mean Americans. This
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: is insane. Hello, everybody, welcome our three of the Big Show.
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: Todd Stearns here, great, damn you with us big Michigan
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: Senate race. You got Mike Rogers, a Republican, A lot
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: of Democrats voting for this guy because they're afraid to
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: vote for Abdul l Sied. He is the communist Democrat
- 1:15:49Speaker 2: nominee and a stanfer for al Sayed. Just compared an
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: ad that Mike Rogers published, compared it to the cake.
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: You say, holy cow, what was in the ad? Well,
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: you had Mike Rogers riding around in an old time
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: sort of like the Lance Walker who the Walker auction Sees,
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: one of the top auctioneers in America, and he lives
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: right here in Memphis, Tennessee. Is a good friend and
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: Lance and Terry Walker, and they're in leadership in the auctioneers.
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: People all over America owed this guy. As a matter
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: of fact, they do some stuff with Gary Sinise, so
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: they're really involved in a lot of the volunteer work
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: for the military. And so anyway, Lance Walker's guy. I
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: think he's got like an old time he pickup truck
- 1:16:40Speaker 2: like this. This one is cherry red and there's an
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: American flag in the bed of the pickup.
- 1:16:46Speaker 12: Truck.
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: I mean, it's pretty much what you would see in
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: any Republican campaign had if you're running for office. So anyway,
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: the guy, the staffer for Abdul l Sied said, got a.
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: He says, gotta love this American Ride. Oh oh, that's
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: the part of it that ties into the show is
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: that the ad showed Rogers rolling down the road in
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: the passenger seat Toby Keyth's American Ride. They could have
- 1:17:16Speaker 2: been listening to our radio show. That's our intro music
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: and the Toby Key singing got to love this American
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: Ride and that's what Rogers captioned it on x So. Anyway,
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: the LSI Ed Stanford says, Mike Rogers campaign has the
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: aesthetics of a nineteen sixties white flight suburb and a
- 1:17:41Speaker 2: KKK crossburning. Wow, that's what they Yeah, that's what they
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: think of all you folks out there. Mike Rodgers campaign
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: has the aesthetics of a nineteen sixties white flight suburb
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: and a KKK crossburning. That's pretty sad, pretty pathetic, but
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: that's what they that's what they think about folks like
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: like you and me. They do, you know, you think
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: a lot about the white flight and We've seen a
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: lot of that in the Memphis area over the years.
- 1:18:14Speaker 2: My grandparents, my my dad was raised in a beautiful suburb,
- 1:18:21Speaker 2: middle upper middle class suburb of Memphis called white Haven,
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: and for that's born, raised, went to school, high school,
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: the whole nine yards. We spent many many summers visiting
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: with my grandparents in white Haven. Then my grandparents came
- 1:18:40Speaker 2: home from church, not once but twice and were that
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: first of all, they found their their cars were stolen.
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: And then they came home and interrupted an invasion robbery
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: as it was in progress, and they said, that's it,
- 1:18:55Speaker 2: We're moving. And they did, and so did a lot
- 1:18:59Speaker 2: of other people because a bad element was moving into
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: the area. And this is what bothers me when I
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: see this bs, this white flight garbage, that white people
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: ought to be ashamed because they they want they want
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: to be safe. They don't want their cars stolen from
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: their garage. And I know this, this is going to
- 1:19:19Speaker 2: set some things on fire today, but I'm still sort
- 1:19:22Speaker 2: of hopped up on these meds and I'm getting to
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: be in a foul mood when I read crap like this.
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: I just have a question. Because white Haven went from
- 1:19:32Speaker 2: an overwhelming majority white neighborhood a community. By the way,
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: the first indoor mall was in white Haven. I mean,
- 1:19:42Speaker 2: it's just very affluent. Al Graceland is in white Haven.
- 1:19:45Speaker 2: So it went from all white to now it is
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: an predominantly what all black community, and you don't want
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: to be there in the daytime hours, much less than
- 1:19:57Speaker 2: nighttime hours. Dangerous murders everywhere, businesses boarded up, homes left
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: in disrepair. And my question is what happened? What happened?
- 1:20:11Speaker 2: Everything was fine and then it wasn't. I'm just curious
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: what happened. You talk about white flight. Nobody wants to
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: talk about why white people had to leave. Because they
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: didn't want to get robbed. They didn't want to get shot,
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: they don't want their businesses robbed. That's the reason why
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: it has nothing to do with race. But if you
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: want to bring race into it, I got a question
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: for you. Why is it now that what was once
- 1:20:39Speaker 2: an upper middle class, very lovely neighborhood with manicured lawns.
- 1:20:47Speaker 2: People were polite, You didn't have to worry about locking
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: your doors at night. How did all of that change?
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: And why? Yeah, that's the reason why white people are
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: leave these communities because they don't want their kids exposed
- 1:21:03Speaker 2: to that. I'm just telling you it's an ugly conversation,
- 1:21:06Speaker 2: but one that ought to be had. We're not afraid
- 1:21:08Speaker 2: to have those conversations on this program. But don't you
- 1:21:13Speaker 2: dare blame white people for wanting to escape from the
- 1:21:18Speaker 2: criminal element. That's insane. LSI ed, be careful what you
- 1:21:24Speaker 2: vote for up there in Michigan. You folks, be careful
- 1:21:26Speaker 2: in Michigan what you vote for. Let's go to East Memphis.
- 1:21:30Speaker 2: David listening to us on k w AM. Hi, David,
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
- 1:21:36Speaker 15: Good afternoon, So I'm glad to see you're back on
- 1:21:38Speaker 15: the mic.
- 1:21:39Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 1:21:40Speaker 15: I'm going to answer a question that it's not what
- 1:21:42Speaker 15: I originally called for. But if you remember right, white
- 1:21:45Speaker 15: Haven gave up their charter and was annexed by the
- 1:21:48Speaker 15: city of Memphis, and then there was a real estate
- 1:21:52Speaker 15: company who made sure that they put all of the
- 1:21:54Speaker 15: Democrats into that area. That's what happened to white Haven's
- 1:21:58Speaker 15: But anyway, I called about because isn't there a law
- 1:22:03Speaker 15: or wasn't there a law on the books that Obama
- 1:22:05Speaker 15: took away that said Muslims could not be elected to
- 1:22:08Speaker 15: office in the US.
- 1:22:10Speaker 2: Say that one more time.
- 1:22:12Speaker 15: What was there not a law on the books way
- 1:22:15Speaker 15: back when when Obama was president that he took away
- 1:22:18Speaker 15: that said Muslims could not be elected to office in
- 1:22:21Speaker 15: the US.
- 1:22:23Speaker 2: There is a so yes and no, there is your
- 1:22:30Speaker 2: I believe you're referring to the mccaren walter Act. Is
- 1:22:34Speaker 2: that what you're referring to?
- 1:22:36Speaker 15: To be honest, I don't know. That's why I'm.
- 1:22:37Speaker 2: Asking, Yeah that I'll have to do a little bit
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: of research. And the question is there did Congress quietly
- 1:22:45Speaker 2: repeal a law barring Muslims from serving in public office?
- 1:22:52Speaker 2: There was no such law on the books in the
- 1:22:55Speaker 2: first place. So I think there's you know, on Facebook,
- 1:22:58Speaker 2: there are a lot of these things that sort of circulate.
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: There is a the the mcaren walter Act. I'm having
- 1:23:08Speaker 2: to do a little bit of quick research on the
- 1:23:10Speaker 2: fly here, known as the Immigration and National Analogy Act
- 1:23:14Speaker 2: of nineteen fifty two, and that's that pretty much codifies
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: the United States immigration policies. But it does not ban
- 1:23:24Speaker 2: Muslims from holding office. No, that's just one of those
- 1:23:27Speaker 2: old wives tales on social media.
- 1:23:30Speaker 15: See that's why I called you. I know you and
- 1:23:32Speaker 15: know or we could find out easier than I could.
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: Well, we do our best here, David. You know the
- 1:23:38Speaker 2: problem is, Look, this drives me nuts because there's so
- 1:23:42Speaker 2: much misinformation now on social media, and a lot of
- 1:23:45Speaker 2: it is coming from conservatives. So I appreciate you your
- 1:23:49Speaker 2: calling in, and you know, we'll do our best to
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: fact check and you know, provide folks with accurate intel.
- 1:23:56Speaker 15: Well that's true because the Internet is ninety eight percent
- 1:23:58Speaker 15: junk false these anyways.
- 1:24:00Speaker 2: Yes, it's it's terrible. It doesn't shouldn't be that way,
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: but it is. Here's what bothers me about that, David.
- 1:24:07Speaker 2: We could end up getting into a world war based
- 1:24:10Speaker 2: on misinformation being spread on social media. Can you believe that?
- 1:24:14Speaker 15: I can? I really can.
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:24:16Speaker 15: I see what it does out in the public to
- 1:24:18Speaker 15: other people who read something and they have no idea
- 1:24:21Speaker 15: what they're talking about.
- 1:24:22Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, You're absolutely right about that, David. Thank
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: you for the intel. Also on white Haven, Well very sad.
- 1:24:30Speaker 2: Let's go to Steve in Houston, Texas listening to us
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: on Patriot Talk nine twenty high. Steve, what's on your
- 1:24:35Speaker 2: mind today?
- 1:24:37Speaker 21: Hey Todd, I love your show. You know the reason
- 1:24:40Speaker 21: I'm a conservative because I'm fifty eight years old, and
- 1:24:44Speaker 21: even in my lifetime, I've seen, you know, the system
- 1:24:49Speaker 21: trying to destroy American culture. And you know, our culture
- 1:24:53Speaker 21: is self governess. You know, we didn't have to have
- 1:24:56Speaker 21: laws to tell us not to murder and not you
- 1:24:59Speaker 21: know that people just didn't do that because it was wrong.
- 1:25:03Speaker 21: And you know, in my lifetime, I've seen we've got
- 1:25:06Speaker 21: three times the laws, and you know, they're trying to
- 1:25:10Speaker 21: destroy any kind of American family culture because that's what
- 1:25:14Speaker 21: made America strong. And what you know, all this illegal immigration,
- 1:25:19Speaker 21: open borders, you know, the culture that they're creating is
- 1:25:24Speaker 21: so that they can come in and offer us a
- 1:25:26Speaker 21: solution which eventually is going to wind up end up
- 1:25:29Speaker 21: with no freedoms at all. I mean, and we've all
- 1:25:34Speaker 21: seen it. You know, anybody that's old enough to remember
- 1:25:37Speaker 21: back when you didn't have to have vehicle insurance. You know,
- 1:25:41Speaker 21: all the laws that have come across in my lifetime.
- 1:25:46Speaker 21: You know, you create more chaos and then you've got
- 1:25:49Speaker 21: got to have more government control. And I think I
- 1:25:52Speaker 21: think that's been the plan all along. Do you agree?
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: I think I, Steve, I think you may be onto
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: something there and it's a lot to unwind, you know.
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: The they want, the left does want the chaos and
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: the culture. And no doubt that we've got that. What
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: I was doing some research on white Haven and a
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: few of the other neighborhoods around Memphis, around Memphis, because
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: we have had some of these communities have been decimated,
- 1:26:22Speaker 2: decimated by crime. And I'll tell you white Haven, I
- 1:26:25Speaker 2: just want somebody to explain to me how my grandparents'
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: former neighborhood of manicured lawns and these were not super
- 1:26:33Speaker 2: wealthy people. They were, you know, middle class people. I
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: want somebody to explain how all the white folks can
- 1:26:40Speaker 2: move out and all of a sudden it becomes a slum.
- 1:26:44Speaker 2: How does that happen? I want, I just want somebody
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: to explain it to me, because you know what, you
- 1:26:49Speaker 2: can't there's nothing stopping you from going out there and
- 1:26:53Speaker 2: picking up the trash that's on the sidewalk or the roadway.
- 1:26:57Speaker 2: There's nothing stopping you from mowing the grass and keeping
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: a tidy front yard. That's all I'm trying to get at, Steve.
- 1:27:04Speaker 21: And you know what, the people promoting this, like the
- 1:27:07Speaker 21: people that promote gun legislation, they're living in communities with
- 1:27:11Speaker 21: gated communities. Yes, the people that will call you a
- 1:27:14Speaker 21: racist if you bring this up, which you're mostly going
- 1:27:17Speaker 21: to be white people, but they're the ones that are
- 1:27:20Speaker 21: living in communities. They don't have to deal with this.
- 1:27:23Speaker 2: That's it. And so in Memphis, what happened was Whitehaven
- 1:27:27Speaker 2: got annexed into the city of Memphis. The next beautiful
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: area was a place called Hickory Hickory Hill, and they
- 1:27:34Speaker 2: had a huge mall. It was the major shopping destination
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: and district that got annexed into the city. And it
- 1:27:41Speaker 2: is a dystopian hellhole over there. I mean, the violence
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: is off the charts everywhere the city of Memphis annexed.
- 1:27:50Speaker 2: You had these very peaceful communities and then they got
- 1:27:54Speaker 2: sucked into the chaos that is Memphis. And I wonder
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: if the same thing is happening in a place like Houston,
- 1:28:02Speaker 2: a place like Winston Salem, North Carolina, where you can't
- 1:28:05Speaker 2: even go downtown in Winston Salem because of all the
- 1:28:08Speaker 2: teenage thugs and the violence out there.
- 1:28:12Speaker 21: Well, Houston got three times worse after the hurricane that
- 1:28:16Speaker 21: destroyed and New Orleans from here down here, and I
- 1:28:22Speaker 21: mean the crime rate skyrocket is and it's still skyrocket.
- 1:28:27Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you, Steve Houston, Baton Rouge and
- 1:28:30Speaker 2: New Orleans, and I'm sorry Memphis we got hosed because
- 1:28:34Speaker 2: that's where all the evacuees went, and the crime rates
- 1:28:37Speaker 2: just shot right up. Yes, third, all right, Steve.
- 1:28:43Speaker 21: I'm glad you brought it up. Not many people will
- 1:28:46Speaker 21: even talk.
- 1:28:46Speaker 2: About no, no, no, I yes, and and again if
- 1:28:50Speaker 2: we don't talk about these issues, how are we going
- 1:28:52Speaker 2: to fix it? That's what I want to know, you know,
- 1:28:54Speaker 2: how a were going to fix it? All right, Steve,
- 1:28:56Speaker 2: God bless you, Thank you for listening. We've got to
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: take a break here. Nine O one one two six
- 1:29:00Speaker 2: zero five nine six. This is the Todd Stern Show.
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: All right, let's get right to the phone lines. Back
- 1:29:16Speaker 2: to Memphis, Tennessee. David listening to us on our flagship station,
- 1:29:20Speaker 2: kwamhind David, what's on your mind?
- 1:29:24Speaker 21: Hey, Todd?
- 1:29:24Speaker 22: Well, you know my family they grew up in white Haven,
- 1:29:28Speaker 22: my grandfather the World War two generation, and they went
- 1:29:31Speaker 22: to Whitehaven High School. As you know, you always hear
- 1:29:34Speaker 22: you walk to school, you know, although they always say
- 1:29:36Speaker 22: they walked to school, you know, he did all that anyhow,
- 1:29:39Speaker 22: I grew up there too, but I'm almost fifty five
- 1:29:42Speaker 22: and when I was living there was already starting to
- 1:29:44Speaker 22: go down the hill. And the thing about it is,
- 1:29:48Speaker 22: it is my rest of my family group of South Memphis,
- 1:29:51Speaker 22: an area that you wouldn't even walk down the street now.
- 1:29:54Speaker 22: And as an example, I went down there one day
- 1:29:56Speaker 22: to look at the house they lived in the fifties
- 1:29:58Speaker 22: or the sixties, and uh, there's Neon Green. It's crazy.
- 1:30:04Speaker 22: And then you know, but my point is like, even
- 1:30:08Speaker 22: it's all over the city now, it's it's all over
- 1:30:13Speaker 22: the city now, even where uh where I bought a
- 1:30:18Speaker 22: house thirty years ago, over i Sycamore Vie and making
- 1:30:21Speaker 22: there's tons of homeless people that walk the street now,
- 1:30:26Speaker 22: something you only seen in Midtown and Memphis back in
- 1:30:28Speaker 22: the day. And I would say there's maybe seventy five
- 1:30:32Speaker 22: houses in that neighborhood. Any of the good people have
- 1:30:35Speaker 22: died off or moved out, I would say there's a
- 1:30:39Speaker 22: fifty of those houses of rentals. Now everything is rentals.
- 1:30:42Speaker 22: And then, and I hate to say that, when I
- 1:30:44Speaker 22: was renting, I kept up my place stuff. But nowadays,
- 1:30:47Speaker 22: if they rent pretty much most of them just don't
- 1:30:51Speaker 22: care about the place.
- 1:30:52Speaker 2: David, I think, and I think that's a big part
- 1:30:55Speaker 2: of it. One of the one of the things that
- 1:30:56Speaker 2: that just I I to loathe. And we actually had
- 1:31:00Speaker 2: a company that wanted to come on and you know,
- 1:31:02Speaker 2: they go and buy up all these houses and then
- 1:31:05Speaker 2: they turned them into rental properties. I would not let
- 1:31:08Speaker 2: them advertise on the radio station because that destroys neighborhoods
- 1:31:12Speaker 2: right there, David, Because if you don't have a homeowner,
- 1:31:15Speaker 2: they have no reason to take care of their property.
- 1:31:18Speaker 2: They have no reason to be proud of their local neighborhood.
- 1:31:21Speaker 2: And you get what we've got in a lot of
- 1:31:23Speaker 2: parts of Memphis.
- 1:31:25Speaker 16: Right right.
- 1:31:25Speaker 17: I'm glad you do that.
- 1:31:26Speaker 22: What on this first key, they buy every house you
- 1:31:29Speaker 22: could think of.
- 1:31:31Speaker 2: It's it's disgusting to me. And these people are killing
- 1:31:35Speaker 2: our communities. But again, a lot of this, you know,
- 1:31:39Speaker 2: going back to the nineteen eighties, that wasn't happening. You
- 1:31:42Speaker 2: just had folks moving into communities. My question is, why
- 1:31:45Speaker 2: would you not take care of your of your front yard,
- 1:31:48Speaker 2: Why would you not take care of your property in
- 1:31:50Speaker 2: your home? You know you have the ability to do that.
- 1:31:53Speaker 2: Why don't you do that?
- 1:31:56Speaker 22: Yeah, No, it doesn't make sense.
- 1:31:57Speaker 4: I don't.
- 1:31:58Speaker 22: I don't get it, you know, and ship stuff and
- 1:32:00Speaker 22: taking the garbage can up. Uh you know, there was
- 1:32:03Speaker 22: one rental that was across the road. Did they I
- 1:32:07Speaker 22: literally have to go.
- 1:32:08Speaker 23: I had to go before I moved out, and so on,
- 1:32:10Speaker 23: I had to I would have to go over there
- 1:32:11Speaker 23: and pick up stuff on the street in front of
- 1:32:14Speaker 23: their house because they wouldn't do it, and you know,
- 1:32:17Speaker 23: or like I looked over there and it was dirty
- 1:32:19Speaker 23: diapers in the in the yard.
- 1:32:22Speaker 16: Yeah, ridiculous.
- 1:32:23Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, you're right. So again I but now
- 1:32:27Speaker 2: I think we're dealing with the bigger problem of these
- 1:32:29Speaker 2: big comp corporations coming in and turning all these you know,
- 1:32:32Speaker 2: these homes into rental properties. And that is a that's
- 1:32:36Speaker 2: a story that's happening and impacting communities across across the country. David,
- 1:32:41Speaker 2: I hate to do this, but we're coming up on
- 1:32:42Speaker 2: a break. But God bless you, my friend, and thank
- 1:32:45Speaker 2: you for listening, Thank you for calling in. Nine oh
- 1:32:47Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six is our
- 1:32:50Speaker 2: telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero five
- 1:32:53Speaker 2: nine two six. Coming up. We're gonna be talking to
- 1:32:56Speaker 2: Christian Hawkins. A bunch of pro life kids getting kicked
- 1:32:59Speaker 2: out of a coffe house. What the heck is up
- 1:33:01Speaker 2: with that? Well, we're gonna find out. Let's you know
- 1:33:03Speaker 2: all about it coming up next? I said.
- 1:33:31Speaker 7: Everybody is flowing them.
- 1:33:32Speaker 3: But I said it, I don't want this group meeting here.
- 1:33:36Speaker 24: We're just meeting for the first meeting.
- 1:33:38Speaker 11: I don't care go to the public libraries.
- 1:33:40Speaker 25: This is se Wait, but I thought this was like,
- 1:33:42Speaker 25: we come here all the time. We just already bought
- 1:33:44Speaker 25: our food and stuff.
- 1:33:45Speaker 17: That's fine, but.
- 1:33:46Speaker 24: You're kicking us out of your.
- 1:33:49Speaker 3: Can I make it very clear that I did not
- 1:33:51Speaker 3: want you here.
- 1:33:52Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:33:52Speaker 11: I did a lot of work to get people on
- 1:33:55Speaker 11: the ballot for so women would have the right to
- 1:33:57Speaker 11: choose in the state of Idaho. And this is something
- 1:34:00Speaker 11: I do not support, nor does my wife. And it's
- 1:34:02Speaker 11: our business, so we have that choice.
- 1:34:05Speaker 24: So you're kicking us out. You're kicking out me. I'm there,
- 1:34:08Speaker 24: who's starting this screw and you're going to kick us out.
- 1:34:10Speaker 11: It's like if you if the KKK asked me sure,
- 1:34:13Speaker 11: I would say no.
- 1:34:14Speaker 25: Do you think co lifers are like the KKK?
- 1:34:16Speaker 20: Is that what you're saying?
- 1:34:17Speaker 4: In my world, it's the same.
- 1:34:19Speaker 23: It's the same concept that.
- 1:34:21Speaker 25: Is so beyond co lifers, those who advocate the dignity
- 1:34:26Speaker 25: of every human life, even children in the loom?
- 1:34:30Speaker 3: Are you saying thank you?
- 1:34:32Speaker 12: Sure?
- 1:34:32Speaker 3: I asked you.
- 1:34:33Speaker 2: This is just absurd, Ladies and gentlemen, A group of
- 1:34:39Speaker 2: young pro lifers kicked out of an Idaho coffee house
- 1:34:43Speaker 2: or coffee shop. Rather, I want to go right away
- 1:34:45Speaker 2: to the Patriot Mobile news maker line and say hello
- 1:34:48Speaker 2: to Kristin Hawkins, the president of Students for Life of America. Kristin,
- 1:34:53Speaker 2: good to have you with us today. This is just
- 1:34:56Speaker 2: mind blowing what happened inside that coffee house.
- 1:35:00Speaker 24: Yeah, Todd, thanks for having me. It's good to speak
- 1:35:03Speaker 24: with you again. It's absolutely shocking. I mean, I go
- 1:35:07Speaker 24: to this coffeehouse frequently. They have the best donuts in town.
- 1:35:10Speaker 24: I had taken my four children, my son who's sixteen
- 1:35:12Speaker 24: years old. Bear is helping me start this local pro
- 1:35:15Speaker 24: life group to stand up against this radical late term
- 1:35:19Speaker 24: abortion bollot referendum that's now going to be on the
- 1:35:21Speaker 24: Idaho ballot this November. And you know, we knew he's liberal.
- 1:35:24Speaker 24: He's got his gay flag out, he's guys, Everyone's welcome signed.
- 1:35:28Speaker 24: He donated coffee to the No Kings protests in town.
- 1:35:32Speaker 24: But this is a community meetup spot, and he always
- 1:35:34Speaker 24: talks about how this is a community place, and we
- 1:35:37Speaker 24: wanted this to be a very inter faith event. We
- 1:35:39Speaker 24: have a very diverse community here. So I didn't want
- 1:35:42Speaker 24: to have the pro life meeting at a Catholic church
- 1:35:45Speaker 24: for the first meeting until I knew how many people
- 1:35:47Speaker 24: would feel comfortable going to a church, and so we
- 1:35:50Speaker 24: just decided to meet here. And it was unbelievable. He
- 1:35:53Speaker 24: came out of his office barreling towards us. The interaction
- 1:35:58Speaker 24: actually was longer than that. He turned up the music
- 1:36:01Speaker 24: so loud. Another patron tried to talk to him after
- 1:36:05Speaker 24: the event happened, and he was even more belligerent. So
- 1:36:10Speaker 24: it's sad to see in our little sleepy town in
- 1:36:12Speaker 24: Teeton Valley, Idaho, that this Wida Hoo Roasters, which I
- 1:36:16Speaker 24: would argue has still has the best you know donuts
- 1:36:19Speaker 24: in town, apparently doesn't think anyone who's pro life or
- 1:36:22Speaker 24: as a Christian is welcome in his establishment, which by
- 1:36:25Speaker 24: the way, is over the majority of the town.
- 1:36:27Speaker 2: All right, So and again the name of this place,
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: the Whydaho Roasters coffee House, Christian was this? I mean,
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: did you guys pretty much take over the coffee house?
- 1:36:36Speaker 2: Was that it's huge? No, we did not.
- 1:36:39Speaker 24: We didn't know how people come up. There were about
- 1:36:41Speaker 24: ten or twelve who came to our first pro life meetings,
- 1:36:43Speaker 24: so Bar and I were ecstatic. But no, we were
- 1:36:47Speaker 24: a small part of this huge coffee house that was there,
- 1:36:51Speaker 24: and so we were not being loud. I didn't bring
- 1:36:54Speaker 24: my bullhorn, Todd. We were being respectful. We were not
- 1:36:58Speaker 24: making a commotion at all. And it was five o'clock
- 1:37:01Speaker 24: with a Monday, so it's not even like it was
- 1:37:03Speaker 24: a high trafficked time where we were taking seats from
- 1:37:06Speaker 24: other patrons. This is a place where a lot of
- 1:37:08Speaker 24: folks go and work for eight hours out of the
- 1:37:10Speaker 24: day and they just hang out there. People meet, play
- 1:37:13Speaker 24: board games. So this is known as a community hangout spot.
- 1:37:17Speaker 2: And that's what I'm trying to make clear here so
- 1:37:19Speaker 2: we can set the scene. You guys were I guess what,
- 1:37:22Speaker 2: ordering coffee, so it's not like you were free loading, right,
- 1:37:25Speaker 2: you guys were ordering food and beverage. Christy right here,
- 1:37:34Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Did we lose? Did we lose Kristen. Okay,
- 1:37:37Speaker 2: we've got I'm here all.
- 1:37:38Speaker 24: Right, Yeah, I'm saying I've got my receipt. We spent
- 1:37:40Speaker 24: one hundred There was probably over one hundred dollars worth
- 1:37:43Speaker 24: of business that was done just between my family and
- 1:37:46Speaker 24: then a few other families had ordered drinks and food.
- 1:37:49Speaker 2: I'm just I find this incredibly troubling that this man
- 1:37:52Speaker 2: would would come over and kick you guys out. So
- 1:37:54Speaker 2: tell us, tell us what happened, you said, the the
- 1:37:57Speaker 2: interaction went on. What happened?
- 1:38:00Speaker 24: Sure?
- 1:38:01Speaker 11: Well?
- 1:38:01Speaker 24: We I tried to get him to calm down. He
- 1:38:04Speaker 24: was shaking during it, and I think, you know sometimes
- 1:38:06Speaker 24: when people kind of go off the handle like this
- 1:38:09Speaker 24: and are willing to make a public scene. I tried
- 1:38:11Speaker 24: to have some compassion because it realized that there might
- 1:38:14Speaker 24: be a past abortion decision at play here, and it's
- 1:38:17Speaker 24: just how irrational he was being. And so we were
- 1:38:19Speaker 24: trying to calm him down to say, sir, this is
- 1:38:22Speaker 24: our first meeting. We have no problem not coming back.
- 1:38:25Speaker 24: We understand this is your private business and you don't
- 1:38:27Speaker 24: want us. Let us just finish this meeting and then
- 1:38:30Speaker 24: we'll be on our way. We could not do that.
- 1:38:32Speaker 24: We had. One of the members of our group went
- 1:38:34Speaker 24: up to him afterwards as we were leaving and just said,
- 1:38:37Speaker 24: you know, I'm genuinely curious, what does you know what
- 1:38:40Speaker 24: everyone is welcome mean to you? And he was very
- 1:38:43Speaker 24: clear it does not mean white racists like us, and
- 1:38:47Speaker 24: so it was it's unbelievable. I mean, this this man is,
- 1:38:50Speaker 24: you know, out there in the community. He has a
- 1:38:52Speaker 24: whole property. Why to Hoe property management manages Airbnb. So
- 1:38:55Speaker 24: I've been getting calls from Airbnb owners all day in
- 1:38:59Speaker 24: town saying I have had no idea this was going on.
- 1:39:02Speaker 24: I think it's very shocking for our little town that,
- 1:39:05Speaker 24: you know, we're pretty casual here. We know we have
- 1:39:07Speaker 24: different faiths and views, but everyone pretty much gets along.
- 1:39:11Speaker 24: We have to rely on each other in a mountain
- 1:39:12Speaker 24: town sometimes when the weather gets crazy. So I think
- 1:39:16Speaker 24: everyone's pretty shocked that other members of our community were
- 1:39:19Speaker 24: treated in such a disrespectful way. And I mean, I
- 1:39:22Speaker 24: had four children there. This was not a raucous event.
- 1:39:25Speaker 24: I my daughter, who's eleven years old, was sitting in
- 1:39:28Speaker 24: there reading while this was happening. So it's disappointing to
- 1:39:31Speaker 24: see this happen. And I think it just shows you
- 1:39:34Speaker 24: the level of discourse in our country when it comes
- 1:39:36Speaker 24: to abortion right now.
- 1:39:37Speaker 2: I think that's what really bothers me is, you know,
- 1:39:40Speaker 2: the man was completely unhinged here in front of these kids,
- 1:39:45Speaker 2: and they've done nothing wrong at all. But again, this
- 1:39:48Speaker 2: is I have to imagine, this is really not new
- 1:39:51Speaker 2: for you guys in the pro life movement, this kind
- 1:39:54Speaker 2: of vitriol.
- 1:39:56Speaker 24: Yeah, it was certainly new to all the folks who
- 1:39:58Speaker 24: had gathered. This is the first time we you've ever
- 1:40:00Speaker 24: had a pro life group in the Teton Valley abortion free.
- 1:40:03Speaker 24: But I can tell you what though, Todd, It's going
- 1:40:05Speaker 24: to be the same experience that I've had with my
- 1:40:07Speaker 24: students for life groups across the country. My students who
- 1:40:10Speaker 24: have faced the most adversity, the name calling, the discrimination,
- 1:40:14Speaker 24: they tend to be our best pro life activists and
- 1:40:17Speaker 24: voices long term. And so I told everyone gathered there,
- 1:40:21Speaker 24: I'm sorry it happened to them, but this was a
- 1:40:23Speaker 24: formidal event in their lives, and it's something they're never
- 1:40:25Speaker 24: going to forget. That's standing up just simply against the
- 1:40:28Speaker 24: violence of abortion met getting kicked out of a coffeehouse,
- 1:40:32Speaker 24: and I think a long term it will be good
- 1:40:34Speaker 24: for my kids. I was checking all my kids last night.
- 1:40:36Speaker 24: I have one who's very upset that he can't go
- 1:40:38Speaker 24: back and get his donuts, and I had a couple
- 1:40:42Speaker 24: others who were just you had questions about why someone
- 1:40:44Speaker 24: would scream at them like this. But I think it's
- 1:40:46Speaker 24: good for my kids, especially to understand that not everyone
- 1:40:52Speaker 24: agrees that a baby in the womb deserves our protection,
- 1:40:56Speaker 24: is worthy of fighting for them. And this is why
- 1:40:58Speaker 24: we have to continue to speak out for them, because
- 1:41:01Speaker 24: there are I mean, the Left is out to kill
- 1:41:04Speaker 24: these children, and they are proud to say that they
- 1:41:07Speaker 24: think that these children deserve the death penalty, which is
- 1:41:10Speaker 24: just horrific.
- 1:41:12Speaker 2: Well it is. And again I have to imagine there's
- 1:41:15Speaker 2: some other coffee houses and gathering places there in Idaho?
- 1:41:20Speaker 13: Is it.
- 1:41:20Speaker 2: What's the name of the town.
- 1:41:22Speaker 24: It's Driggs, Idaho.
- 1:41:24Speaker 2: Wow, Driggs, Idaho. Yeah. I again, it seems like a
- 1:41:28Speaker 2: pretty bad business model to me because a good many
- 1:41:31Speaker 2: of those pro lifers. I have to imagine our Christians
- 1:41:33Speaker 2: as well, and looks like they're not welcome at that
- 1:41:36Speaker 2: coffee shop either.
- 1:41:38Speaker 24: That's right. We have a very conservative town, very high
- 1:41:42Speaker 24: LDS population, Lardy Saint population, here that's very conservative, very
- 1:41:47Speaker 24: faith filled, and so I think it's just going to
- 1:41:49Speaker 24: hopefully it's it's a realization to him that if he
- 1:41:52Speaker 24: really means welcome for all and he's going to put
- 1:41:54Speaker 24: out his rainbow flag, that he really needs to be
- 1:41:56Speaker 24: welcome for all, and that there's just no place for
- 1:42:00Speaker 24: this level of nastiness in these small communities. And we've
- 1:42:03Speaker 24: got to get back to a point Todd where we
- 1:42:06Speaker 24: can disagree and still be polite and cordial to one another.
- 1:42:10Speaker 24: And I think that's what's so shocking to our community
- 1:42:13Speaker 24: right now, because I don't think our community felt like
- 1:42:15Speaker 24: everything else they see on TikTok or x was here,
- 1:42:19Speaker 24: and now they've realized it is here, even in our
- 1:42:22Speaker 24: small town in Idaho. And that's why the ballot referendum.
- 1:42:25Speaker 24: We've got to get Christians to vote against Prop one
- 1:42:28Speaker 24: in Idaho on election day because I think the fear
- 1:42:32Speaker 24: that we have here in Idaho is we know the
- 1:42:34Speaker 24: majority of Idaho in is our pro life, are against abortion,
- 1:42:36Speaker 24: want to keep our abortion ban intact. But the problem
- 1:42:40Speaker 24: is we've got to motivate folks to get out to vote,
- 1:42:42Speaker 24: because I have to tell you, the Californians the Washingtonians,
- 1:42:46Speaker 24: the Colorados have come into our state. They have destroyed
- 1:42:50Speaker 24: their states, and now they're coming into our state and
- 1:42:52Speaker 24: they're voting for the same reckless policies. Is the reason
- 1:42:55Speaker 24: why they're leaving those states. And that's what they're trying
- 1:42:58Speaker 24: to do here. They're trying to make our state like California,
- 1:43:02Speaker 24: and that's exactly the opposite. And that's why Christians have
- 1:43:05Speaker 24: got to vote know against Prop one this November.
- 1:43:08Speaker 2: All right, Kristin, we're gonna have to leave it there.
- 1:43:10Speaker 2: It's good to see you, my friend, and I'm so
- 1:43:12Speaker 2: sorry this happened to you and your kids. But again,
- 1:43:15Speaker 2: this is a lesson and I'm sure, uh, these kids
- 1:43:19Speaker 2: are just gonna be emboldened by what happened there at
- 1:43:23Speaker 2: the Waitaho Roasters coffee House. Kristin, good to see you,
- 1:43:26Speaker 2: Thank you, Thanks so much, Go bless All right, Wow,
- 1:43:30Speaker 2: Students Forlife dot org is the website Students Forlife dot org.

- 1:43:38Speaker 2: good friend Kristin Hawkins. All Right, we've got to take
- 1:43:41Speaker 2: a quick break here of folks nine oh one two

- 1:43:47Speaker 2: happened to the youngsters there nine oh one two six

- 1:44:02Speaker 2: All right, welcome back to everybody. This is the Todd
- 1:44:05Speaker 2: Stearns Radio Show. So today there is a big demonstration
- 1:44:11Speaker 2: plan this evening in Dearborn, Michigan. This is going to
- 1:44:14Speaker 2: be pretty insane. It's an anti Islam demonstration and one
- 1:44:20Speaker 2: of the most Islamic communities in the nation. The governor
- 1:44:24Speaker 2: is weighing in and she's calling the Christians who are
- 1:44:26Speaker 2: going to be protesting agitators. She says their plan emboldens
- 1:44:33Speaker 2: and contributes to a dangerous behavior, and I'm asking every
- 1:44:37Speaker 2: person of goodwill to denounce it. Their hate has no
- 1:44:40Speaker 2: place in Michigan. So the governor, everybody's very concerned that
- 1:44:44Speaker 2: there might possibly be violence in Dearborn. Why is that?
- 1:44:49Speaker 2: I thought this was the so called religion of peace,
- 1:44:52Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. Anyway, this is the Mayor of Dearborn, Michigan.
- 1:45:00Speaker 2: Here this is a cut cut number twelve place.
- 1:45:03Speaker 14: That is the mission in which they will fail out.
- 1:45:06Speaker 14: I was just eleven years of age when I had
- 1:45:09Speaker 14: the first gun pools on me for being Muslim.
- 1:45:11Speaker 4: In the days after nine eleven.
- 1:45:12Speaker 14: I don't believe there's been twenty five years since that day,
- 1:45:16Speaker 14: still unchanged. Kaldi believed that the name Abdullah Hussein Hamud
- 1:45:20Speaker 14: is as American as any.
- 1:45:21Speaker 2: Other Dylan, do you go to school with any any
- 1:45:26Speaker 2: guys named Abdullah Hussein Hammoud.
- 1:45:30Speaker 4: Not in high school, Todd, Yeah, in college for sure.
- 1:45:32Speaker 2: And you're the only you were the only white.
- 1:45:36Speaker 4: I think I was a minority in my college.
- 1:45:37Speaker 2: You were in a minority in your college.
- 1:45:39Speaker 4: You went to my graduation. I you said you saw
- 1:45:41Speaker 4: that I was a minority in my college.
- 1:45:43Speaker 2: Abdullah Hussein Hammoud, Abdullah Hussein Macmaud, Abdullah Hubsain, Abdubde. Yeah,
- 1:45:50Speaker 2: but dabad Are They were going right down the list
- 1:45:55Speaker 2: and then Dylan Dandridge and you're like, oh, it's an
- 1:45:58Speaker 2: American name.
- 1:46:01Speaker 4: Yeah, you're not too far off.
- 1:46:03Speaker 2: So anyway, this this guy Mayor Yabadabadu, he's really upset
- 1:46:11Speaker 2: at all of you Christians out there, and he really
- 1:46:13Speaker 2: doesn't believe that that your that your belief system belongs
- 1:46:19Speaker 2: in Dearborn, Michigan. As a matter of fact, they were
- 1:46:21Speaker 2: renaming a street in honor of a Hesballa supporter. So
- 1:46:26Speaker 2: a guy who is literally funding terrorist and the Muslims
- 1:46:29Speaker 2: there in Dearborn. Actually we're going to name a street
- 1:46:33Speaker 2: after him. So one of the remaining Christian people in
- 1:46:37Speaker 2: Dearborn actually went to city Hall and was raising this
- 1:46:41Speaker 2: as an issue. And here's what the mayor had to say.
- 1:46:44Speaker 2: Cut thirteen.
- 1:46:46Speaker 22: I mean, you know, bombed the embassy in bay Ruts
- 1:46:52Speaker 22: and including many Americans.
- 1:46:54Speaker 2: So I just feel that's quite inappropriate.
- 1:46:56Speaker 4: Amophobe.
- 1:46:57Speaker 14: And although you live here, I want you in the
- 1:46:59Speaker 14: wi is Mayor, you are not welcome here. And the
- 1:47:02Speaker 14: day you move out of the city, well with the
- 1:47:03Speaker 14: day that I launched a parade celebrating.
- 1:47:05Speaker 18: The fact that you moved out of the city because
- 1:47:07Speaker 18: you are not somebody who believes in coexistence.
- 1:47:11Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's not the way that that win.
- 1:47:15Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, the mayor was on a
- 1:47:17Speaker 2: podcast and he was talking about the point of America
- 1:47:20Speaker 2: and here's what he had to say. Cut fourteen.
- 1:47:23Speaker 18: Because where you often hear that it's a company with
- 1:47:25Speaker 18: that as well, you must assimilate. I shouldn't put out
- 1:47:29Speaker 18: a magazine that's in two languages. Why can't you speak English?
- 1:47:32Speaker 18: Why are my videos subtitled in Arabic. Why did my
- 1:47:34Speaker 18: caption both in English and Arabic people get frustrated by this?
- 1:47:38Speaker 18: But to me, it's like, I actually disavow the use
- 1:47:41Speaker 18: of the term the melting pot. I actually don't like it.
- 1:47:44Speaker 18: Why because it's in the melting pot when you talking
- 1:47:46Speaker 18: about like a soup, everything looks the same right where
- 1:47:49Speaker 18: the salad bowl, the lettuces lettuce, the tomatoes tomato, the
- 1:47:53Speaker 18: cucumbers cucumber, and they all complement each other.
- 1:47:58Speaker 2: What what is it?
- 1:48:00Speaker 17: No?
- 1:48:00Speaker 2: No, the whole point of America is to assimilate. That's
- 1:48:04Speaker 2: that's the point here. But the mayor, Mayor Yabadabado here
- 1:48:09Speaker 2: in Dearborn Michigan, has has inadvertently spilled the means on
- 1:48:14Speaker 2: what this is really all about. First of all, many
- 1:48:17Speaker 2: of these people have not come here legally, right they
- 1:48:21Speaker 2: they were refugees, They overstayed, and they're here and they're
- 1:48:25Speaker 2: having children out the wazoo, and the population growth is
- 1:48:31Speaker 2: off the charts. So the Islamist unless we're going to
- 1:48:36Speaker 2: do mass deportations, are here to stay. Their numbers are
- 1:48:40Speaker 2: only going to get bigger and eventually, and it's gonna
- 1:48:43Speaker 2: take a little bit of time, but not too much. Time,
- 1:48:46Speaker 2: and soon they will be the dominant religion in America.
- 1:48:50Speaker 2: And the reason why is that the Christians are just
- 1:48:53Speaker 2: not reproducing. You guys aren't having babies. Meanwhile, you got
- 1:48:58Speaker 2: Mayor Yabadabadoo over here here, and they're popping out babies
- 1:49:01Speaker 2: all over the place. So it's really a matter of numbers, honestly,
- 1:49:05Speaker 2: and you're gonna have more communities that become Balkanized, like dearborn.
- 1:49:10Speaker 2: I saw this firsthand in when I lived in New
- 1:49:13Speaker 2: York City where you would have entire neighborhoods and nobody
- 1:49:15Speaker 2: spoke English. Good if if and I do, I did
- 1:49:20Speaker 2: a lot of walking when I was in New York
- 1:49:22Speaker 2: City back in the day. You'd be in neighborhoods, you're
- 1:49:24Speaker 2: the only white person and you're the only person there
- 1:49:27Speaker 2: speaking English. And that's just the way it is, and
- 1:49:32Speaker 2: and that's the way it is now in New York
- 1:49:35Speaker 2: City and a lot of other major American cities. I
- 1:49:37Speaker 2: suspect you folks in Houston and Winston Salem are going
- 1:49:41Speaker 2: to be dealing with this very soon, if not already.
- 1:49:44Speaker 2: This is going to be interesting tonight. You've got the
- 1:49:48Speaker 2: guy the provocateur, and and I you know a lot
- 1:49:51Speaker 2: of people like this guy. His name is what the
- 1:49:56Speaker 2: jake is that Jake Laying, I think is his name.
- 1:49:59Speaker 2: And and he goes out there and he likes to
- 1:50:02Speaker 2: stir a pastine and you know, helped walk through a
- 1:50:04Speaker 2: Muslim neighborhood with idlo a roasted pig, an all roosted pig.
- 1:50:10Speaker 2: And he's got a right to do that, by the way,
- 1:50:12Speaker 2: He's got a right to do it. You may not
- 1:50:15Speaker 2: agree with it, but he's got a right to do it.
- 1:50:17Speaker 2: And they're trying to shut him down there in Dearborn, Michigan.
- 1:50:20Speaker 2: So we'll see how all that plays out tonight. But
- 1:50:23Speaker 2: they're afraid it's going to get really, really ugly. And
- 1:50:26Speaker 2: the reality, though, is we got a problem on our hands.
- 1:50:29Speaker 2: What do we do with the rise of Islam in America?
- 1:50:32Speaker 2: I talk about that briefly in the Golden Age. That
- 1:50:35Speaker 2: was not the thrust of this book. The thrust of
- 1:50:38Speaker 2: the Golden Age was to celebrate the great accomplishments that
- 1:50:42Speaker 2: President Trump has made, but also to issue a warning
- 1:50:45Speaker 2: as we start to look to the future here post Trump,
- 1:50:50Speaker 2: what does and what role does Islam play in the
- 1:50:54Speaker 2: future of America? Again, this was imported. Some would call
- 1:50:59Speaker 2: it anva well, I would call it an invasion. I
- 1:51:02Speaker 2: certainly would, so I'd encourage you to get a copy
- 1:51:05Speaker 2: of The Golden Age. Read it. You can get a
- 1:51:07Speaker 2: copy of Amazon, Barge and Noble wherever you buy your books,
- 1:51:10Speaker 2: and brush up on this because this is going to
- 1:51:13Speaker 2: be something we're going to be talking about in the
- 1:51:15Speaker 2: days to come. All Right, it has been a great day.
